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

fun as that prison I was in for eons."
Apparently this was the last

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

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.
