[as the gang slowly inched their way towards the sound n peeked in, they could see Ash'mund, the illusive man tht was embedded in Brad's memories standing there, scrutinizing the nxt batch of slaves]
Ash'mund: Hmm, too skinny... Too tall... Too fat... This one is fine. Is tht all?? Is tht all u can scrounge up for me? [glared at his underlings]
Underling #1: ^^;;; W-we found all we could, s-sir.
Ash'mund: [smacked the underling on the bk of the head] Well u better be doing better than tht. We hv a quota to meet, n Lord Umbra frm Planet Psych is expecting us to give him the expected number! Out of all these numb nuts, there's only 2 tht meets my eye!
Brad: [cringed at Ash'mund's loud voice, flinched wen he heard the smack, still feeling the fear frm his days with the slave trader]
Peepers: (rubs Brad's shoulder, comforting him)
Ash'mund: Dump these useless ones bk where u found them! N get me better ones nxt time! U two [grabbed the two tht he chose by the bk of the neck] Ur going to the good pile now [shoved them to another underling]
Wander: (watches in worry, and a hint of disgust)
Fury: [whispered] I think its time we made our entrance now
Hater: Allow me [went ahead n slowly sneaked up behind Ash'mund, then did a headlock on him, using his flared claw to keep him still] U move n ur head will be in pieces all ovr the wall
Ash'mund: Wat the...? Who are...?! Hey! A little help here?! [shouted for his underlings]
Underlings: (rush forward but are blocked by Awesome and Sylvia)
Awesome: I wouldn't try it, bros~
Sylvia: Uh-uh, unless u wanna hv a taste of the ol' double knuckle sandwich [bared her fists at them, daring them to come close]
Peepers: (holding his gun at Ash'mund)
Fury: [appears before Ash'mund] Hello, Ash'mund. Nice to finally see u in the flesh
Ash'mund: [sees him] L-Lord Fury! W-Wat brings u to m-my humble a-abode?
Fury: [raised a brow] U knw me?
Ash'mund: O-Of course. I m-make it my business to knw e-evry Lord existing in the nine galaxies... U-U here to purchase my w-wares? N-No need for these th-theatrics, all u need is a-ask...
Peepers: He will NOT be here to do that.
Ash'mund: [turned to see Brad standing next to Peepers] Well if it isn't our favourite Bratty Boy? I'm surprised to see u still alive
Brad: Shut up... [only managed a feeble comeback]
Peepers: You keep away from him, unless it's to break him from that damn collar.
Ash'mund: [looked up n dwn the pair for a moment before grinning] I see, Bratty Boy got himself a nice boy toy, huh? I knew ur mouth is better used sucking cock
Brad: U shut ur mouth abt my Master! He's kind n good n treats me nice n nvr lift a finger, n he nvr, EVER rapes me, unlike u n ur goons n ur so-called clients!
Ash'mund: Still running ur mouth like usual, huh? I guess ur just a sucker for punishment now, ain't ya? Heh, just u wait, soon ur mouth will be the cause of u being dumped away by this little eyeball, just like evry Master u had, Bratty Boy
Peepers: (aims his gun, ready to fire)
Wander: (looking worried)...Wait!
Brad: [tries to hold Peepers bk too]
Fury: Dont let him get into ur head, Mr Peepers [turns to him] Now, ur already busted. There is nowhere to run. Ur going to the Universe Guards one way or another, bt we can at least make it easy for u. U will tell us where to find the guy u employ to make those collars on ur slave, n we'll hand u to the Universe Guards n maybe, just MAYBE, get u a lenient sentence
Ash'mund: Hah! I'll nvr betray my ppl, especially not Smog. He's my most trusted man in my line of duty. No way I'm giving him up to the likes of u, Lord or not
Wander: (steps forward) Just hold up!
Hater: Wander, wat r u doing? Stay bk! [tries to keep Ash'mund away frm Wander as he maintained his headlock on him]
Wander: If it's possible to make just one trade with you, Ash'mund...(swallows) You free this man from his collar and have me as one of your slaves for sale.
Awesome: :o Bro, no!
Peepers: What are you doing-
Wander: I'll take any person, any size, anything you wish just to allow this man to continue his life not like this anymore. Take me instead.
Hater: Wander, no! Wat r u saying?! I won't allow it!!
Ash'mund: Sounds like a pretty good deal...
Hater: U shut ur pie hole, u filthy animal!! [flared his claw evn brighter, threatening to skewer him with it]
Brad: Wander, no! It doesnt work tht way! He CAN'T take off my collar! He doesnt hv the power to!
Wander: There's always some way...there's a chance this is one of those ways... (looks at Brad) Besides, you shouldn't deserve to suffer any longer.
Brad: No, u dont understand! He didnt cast the magic on me with this collar, tht sorceror Smog he said did it. Evn if u trade urself, its not going to make the collar come off
Ash'mund: Bratty Boy is right. It can only come off if his Master is dead, or...if Smog is
Peepers:...How do we find him then? (lowering weapon)
Ash'mund: Like I said, I won't tell u! Not in a bajillion yrs!
Fury: Then I will hv no choice bt to send u to the Council then
Ash'mund: Th-The Council? U...U wouldn't!
Fury: I would. I'm one of the few Lords who hv access to The Council. Its not gonna be pretty if we surrender u to them instead of the Universe Guards
Ash'mund: U wouldn't dare! Ur bluffing!
Fury: Am I? Try me [grinned dwn at him menacingly]
Awesome: He'll do it, dude. We've seen.
Hater: U dont wanna call my father's bluff, trust me
Sylvia: [looked at Wander questioningly, obviously not knwing wat they were talking abt]
Wander: (shrugs) ^^;
Peepers: So either you answer us, or we...(raises weapon again) take you out here and now.
Fury: No, death is too easy for him. We'll nvr knw where Smog is with him dead. Maybe a couple of weeks with The Council might loosen his tongue
Ash'mund: A couple of weeks?! I'll be dead in less than two days with them! No, no, dont take me there! I'll talk! I'll talk!
Fury: Glad u see it tht way. Lets go somewhere less stuffy than here, shall we? N tell ur underlings to free those slaves out to the open while ur at it. Let them enjoy ur mansion for a bit, eh?
Ash'mund: [was hesitant, bt finally turned to his underlings] U heard the man! Cut the slaves loose! Let them into the mansion, let them do watevr the hell they want!
Underlings: :O... (quickly loosen the slaves from their hold)
Wander: (sighs in relief, as he's approached by Hater)
Hater: [passes Ash'mund to Awesome to be brought up to the mansion n stomped towards Wander] Wat in the hell do u think ur doing just now?
Wander: I was just...I would've... (stammers a bit, trying to explain why he'd take place as a slave to keep the others safe) ... ;( I'm sorry, I just thought that...
Hater: I didnt commit murder for u to save u frm a slave's life, only to give urself away to return to another slave's life [grabbed Wander by the shoulders] Ur my wife! MINE! N ur the mother of two beautiful litters! Hv u forgotten that?? Ur willing to leave us for this?! [held him close] Don't u dare do that again! Dont u FUCKING dare...!!
Wander: (embraces Hater tightly) Hatey...
Hater: Ur mine... MY wife!! MINE!! Mine... [held him tightly] I will nvr EVER let u go...NEVER...! Ur mine...!! [sniffled a little]
Wander: (hugs tightly, sobbing softly) And...and you're mine...my husband, the father of my children... (kisses him)
Hater: [kissed him bk, holding him like this for quite a while before carrying him in his arms n walked out of the underground basement, following the group up into the mansion]
Wander: (holds onto Hater)
