As Hic walked into the interrogation room, he was mentally beating up Jaguar.
~This is for inprisoning me~
~Go to hell. OW!!!~
~And again!~
~OWW!! Fine, you forced me to do this.~ Jaguar, still imprisioned in Hic's head, let out a mental screech so high pitched that it gave Hic a serious migrane.
~SHUT UP!!!~ Hic then mentally knocked Jaguar out.

"So, it's axel is it? And Jack too, nice." Hic then waked to the one-way glass window into the torture room. Axel Pike and Jack were both in there. "So when do we start?"

"Right now"

"inside the sentinel"


"O crap." thought Axel, as he was winched into the sentinel. He had been a little too careless for a moment and the sentinel got him with the net.
Axel sighed, disappointed in himself, as the sentinel whirred above him, wooshing him up through the air. "well this could have gone better he said to himself, as the ground got further and further away.
Things didn't seem too bad, it looked as though he would be captured without any problems, until just as he was being pulled into the sentinel, his head got in the way *clong* and the last thing he was aware of was the fact that his golem head had been bashed OFF, and he had lost control of his body, which was now reverting to human form, abondoning the earth one which crumbled through the net..

"At the Interrogation room"

When Axel began to come to, he felt woozy all over and disoriented. Opening one eye slightly, he squinted under the bright light above him. Maybe it was just the light, but it seemed that the room was almost completely white.
He tried to sit up, and found he was restrained. He winced when tried to sit up, his head throbbed again, and he lost conciousness again.

(OOC: Agreed, deletin mine.)

"So, what are we trying to get from them?"

"Information. Weak points of the mansion."
The interrogator then walked over to a control panel and pressed a button. The Tables then turned into various instruments of torture and began their work on Axel and Jack.

Jack Harlen:
Beside him, Axel stirred slightly and groaned. Jack gave his restraints another pointless yank. He had long ago accepted that these straps weren't gonna give, but he had a plan. Axel stopped moving again, apparently blacked out.
The lights buzzed gently above them.
Suddenly a panel behind him opened up and a robotic tentacle slithered out, sparking bitterly with electricity.
"What the hell?AAHH!!" said Jack as the metallic tentacle reached him and gave him a excruitiatingly painful jolt on the bicep, creating a high temperature aswell.
It stopped, and Jack stopped screaming. A thin wisp of smoke rose from his arm, where there was a nasty red and black spot, and a faint smell of barbecue. His body twitched slightly, and he moaned in pain. He started to sweat all over.

The tentacle came in for another round. Axel lay almost completely still, breathing through his mouth.



Unknown to the two of them, someone behind the mirror pressed another button.


A second metal tentacle came out of a second panel, next to Axel, and began to give him light shocks.

((OOC: I was planning to let you make up most of it as you go.))

As Hic pressed another button, Jacks table trasformed into a rack and began pulling on him. "Medival. I like."

The interrogator smiled. "We have everything here."

~Everything, huh.~ Hic then searched the control panel for something. When he found it an evil smile spread across his lips. "Lets see how bold you are without your power, Jack!" He then pressed the button and keyed in a command. Another tentacle rose out of the floor, only this one had a chainsaw on it. It began a slow decent through Jacks legs, with him screaming loud enough that even through the glass Hic felt it.

Harlen screamed again as the chainsaw began to cut into his leg, then he gritted his teeth and concentrated on his power, to make his legs denser. That means heavier legs, and harder to cut into. Blood spurted out of the wound made by the chainsaw, which continued to try to cut into him but was starting to have more trouble now.
As his legs got denser, and heavier, the table he was strapped to started to creak.

Axel came to and saw what was going on. "aah! no!"
There was a growing pool of blood on the floor, as well as small pieces of Jack's leg strewn about the place. Axel could see the pain and strain on Jack's face, see that his teeth were clamped together in concentration, he figured out what he was up to.
"You can do it Jack!" said Axel, giving him some much needed encouragement.
Meanwhile the shock tentacle was starting to hurt Axel more. Looking around, all Axel could see was random science equipment and the torture devices.
He tried to ignore the electric shocks for a moment, so that he could think.

"Ahh, so he's awake now. Good. It's much more painfull that way. For him."

The interrogator pressed a button and another tentacle rose out of the wall. This one had a flamethrower on it and began to severely burn Axels hair off, causing him lots of pain. Meanwhile the Chainsaw stopped its work on Jack and was switched out with a laser that began to slice through his legs, very slowly and painfully.

Axel yelled out in pain as the flame missed and burnt his cheek and ear

Meanwhile Jack Harlen was in horrible agony, as the chainsaw and laser made their way through his legs, finally severing them completely. Blood gushed out where the chainsaw had cut, and the flesh was a burnt brown where the laser had cut. Jack's legs dropped off from the body and, being the heaviest thing on the far end of the bench, the edge of the bench cracked and broke, and his legs crashed onto the bloody floor.
Jack was started to feel faint from blood loss, and began to mumble to himself, still restrained to the damaged bench.

Axel watched that in despair, he could not help him. He could not even help himself.

((OOC: Plannnig to remove Jacks power before interogation.))

The interrogator smiled and went into the room. ''Hello, Axel, Jack. I have a few questions for you two. Number one: How can I get into the mansion without being seen, heard, or otherwise noticed. Number two: The weaknesses of all of the mutants. And number three: Will you join us? Jack, we can make you robotic legs, and axel we can provide you with the best golem body imanginable. But you must join us."

Jack's head slumped to the side, and he did not hear anything. He did not smell anything, he did not see anything, not even the backs of his eyelids, he did not feel anything and he tasted nothing. He lay there, his thoughts disappearing into the abyss, and his life evaporating with them.

Axel watched his friend slip away. "Jack! Jack! Jack, please say something! Jack?"
. . . . . . .
He silently shed a tear as he stared, his neck twisted sideways to see, one of his only true friends breathe his last breath.

"You bastards" he said quietly.

(OOC: Here is where Axel's spirit begins to be dominated by his dark side. Its still him, but he's not the same anymore)

"I don't know how to get into the mansion without being noticed, I will not join you, and Jack is dead. There is a simple weakness of all but a few of the mutants - sleep deprevation, or intoxication, its a common one." said Axel, while not yet looking at the interrogaters.

The interrogator let a small frown creep across his face. "Not what we wanted to hear." He then looked up at Hic and mimed pressing a button.

Hic nodded and flipped a random switch. Yet another tentacle rose out of the floor, this one with a needle on it. It began randomly stabbing Axel in the legs and arms.

"I ask again. The weaknesses of the mutants. Particularly the one called Cassiel. I need to know!" He put his face right in front of Axels. "Tell me!"

Axel let out a multitude of cries of pain, and managed to say between semi gritted teeth, "I don't even know who you're talking about, I've never met the guy. You want to know his weaknesses - you are asking the wrong guy, but i do know," said Axel to the interrogator, and the needling stopped to let him speak clearly,
"Is that there are many ways to easily extinguish life, mutant or not."
Axel stared the interrogator right in the eyes, knowing full well that he was no longer just Axel, and that his eyes were the tell-tale sign of his change - no longer brown they had become saturated with blood and were now a full blood red, with a small black point of the pupil remaining.
"You seem poorly educated in this. I now refer to the World Wars, do you know about gas warfare?" he inquired in a low, morbid voice

(OOC: the descriptions in my following posts are refering to real information about the wars, dont take it lightly my friend, its horrific truth)

((OOC: I know. Im Jewish.))

"You truly don't know. Well then, we have no further use for you. But before you are desposed of, I want you to see something." He then turned to Hic and motioned for him to come in.

Hic walked in through the door and smiled at Axel. "Hello Axel. I doubt you've seen me before, but let me say that you look oh, so, tasty" Hic the let his smile show his fangs. "Goodbye!" He then clawed Axel across the face, knocking him out.

((OOC: Now we go our own seperate ways.))

(OOC: K. Thanx for the plot aid. you ended it nicely. Ill give you a karma point as apppreciation, as soon as i can, since i've recently given someone else a point.)

Axel quietly took in what he saw walk into the room. It a was, put simply, a white humanoid with noticably Jaguarish features. Such an interesting creature, he guessed it was a mutant, with genes of a jaguar spliced with his own. Perhaps somehow the mother, while with-child, had come into contact with something containing jaguar DNA, perhaps meat, and the DNA had somehow been transfered to the unborn child and been assimilated.

Such theories and speculations bloomed shyly in Axel's mind, and he watched in foolish awe as the hybrid walked up to him, and said something that he paid no attention to.
Maybe he should have paid attention, then he could have braced himself for the slashing blow to the face that it gave him.
White pain throughout his face was the last thing he remembered before blacking out.
