Chapter LVII - Have Entertainment, Will Travel ~Multehx

 

Ian put the entertainment center into his pocket as he heard footsteps approaching. Big. That was all he could use to describe the...thing that walked in. Big and tough. It smiled toothily and evilly as it stopped infront of the bars. Naaro seemed to throat a growl.

"Ah, the guests are all awake now? Good," it sneered.

"Where are you taking us?!" Rynn asked in a near desperate tone.

Rexxor laughed slightly and waved a hand.

"Terribly sorry for not telling you, but we're going to see a man: a black priest named 'Moloch'. Lives on a planet we're going to. Cocytus they call it." He looked directly at Naaro. "Just as fun as that prison I was in for eons."

Apparently this was the last straw. Naaro lunged at Rexxor, only to hit the bars and be repelled, causing Rexxor a fit of laughter. As he calmed, a panel on the wall slid up, revealing a yellow planet, complete with red oceans showing through gaps in the black clouds.

For some reason, Rexxor left the gang alone for the time. Naaro went to consulting with Rynn, Vector ran around a bit before getting bored and lying down, and Ian...seemed unusually calm despite the situation. He was also smiling slightly about something…

Jaded cursed mentally. He had held his breath, leapt out the window, climbed on the Spectrum roof, leapt up into the closing bottom doors of the spaceship (through which the abductees were taken), only to have his cloak caught in the door and having to rip part off. Not really his day.

He looked around. The entry he had taken seemed to be used as some sort of storage area. He thanked the good Lord for a stack of piled crates and hid in a gap between a few.
