While the 2 were outside in the yard having a calm discussion.
Cassandra and Lason were under the manner in a dark room. They stood over a man who looked as if he has seen better days.
He was tied to a chair, with his arms, and legs were bound with a gag in his mouth to prevent him from biting his own tongue.
He had all his clothes removed and what was shown was a gruesome sight.
His tendons were cut and burnt leaving him immobilize and unable to move.
Numerous cuts were displayed on his body with some deeper than other, along with bruises along his face and body. While his body was a bloody tapestry.
"Wow! I can't lie for a human you sure got a strong will... even i can respect that." Lason said while his body was covered in blood most likely the man's.
He walked over to the man and squated down till they were eye level with each-other.
The mans who Haymen, Felicia and Daken called boss hiname was Ivan. An experienced hunter who felt under-appreciated and created his own group with other people who felt the same as him.
While it may seem noble at first, but if you heard of all the jobs they have done for money. You'd disgusted with them.
"Hay bro, can we just kill him?"
Lason turned his back and smiled at his sister who leaned against the wall with her arms crossed around her chest.
spinning and twirling her dagger between her fingers. And look of boredom across her face.
"You do know Lazarus isn't going anywhere and he isn't going to do anything with Astra. And besides we can't exactly let her sister know were in here can we?" Lason finished his reply while getting up from his squatting position.
"I know that, but....."
"But?"
She turned her face to the side a small blush across her face, as she mumbled what she was trying to say. "I wanted to keep kissing him." As she said that steam began to come of her head, she covered her face in embarrassment. As Lason laughed lightly at his sister but than
BANG!
Lason punched the wall behind her which surprised her, looking at Lason who had a cheeky smile on his face. "The hell man!" A voice they would recognize came from the shadows as all the darkness in the room gathered behind Cassandra. Lazarus walked through them, he than used his free hand to hugged Cass from behind and planted a small pik on her cheek with his other hand still holding Lasons punch.
"Have you realized whenever you used the shadows to travel they become darker in specific areas indicating where you'll come out from?" He said with a smile across his face as he pulled back his fist.
Lazarus shock his wrist from the blow as he stared at the man who kidnapped him. "Has he said anything?"
"Nope! And I've tried alot to get him to squeal, but sadly nothing."
"Let me have a crack at it."
"Really? You want to try your hand at torture?"
"Hmmm, not today I'll just get the information fast."
Lazarus approached Ivan who seemed to be regaining consciousness." Argh...where...am I?"
He finished, just barely able to get out those words, but than he hear a voice he dreaded to hear this soon. "Kinda ironic wouldn't you say? You capture me and tortured me for a bit now the roles are reversed." Lazarus said with a bit of amusement in his tone.
He grabbed Ivan by his chin roughly and made him gaze into his eyes. Which began glowes with their twin colors to try and compel him to tell the truth.
But Ivan smiled revealing that most of his teeth were removed violently and a mouth filled with blood.
"You think i didn't plan for this? That purple haired bastard tried and failed to do that. So what make you think you have a chance?!" He said a mocking grin plastered across his face. Patow.
He gather blow in his mouth and tried to spit it in Lazarus face. The blood when fly at him, but than it stopped mid-air as if paused in time.
"Ah, yes I heard that hunters have great mental fortitude to the point they can resist low level compulsion. Quite the skill but sadly I can't say my skills in that department are great... but I have other ones."
He finished as the blood split into a large number of thin sharp blood needles. As he pointed them all at his brain.
They all lightly pierced his brain in specific areas, with those being the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes.
He than turned to Cassandra with a pitiful smile on his face. Cass i hope you don't mind but could you send out a bit of your lightning into these needles?"
He asked her and he did so willingly. She extended her hand as violet sparks started to crackle. As she sent a wave of an electric current through the needless brain.
"May i ask what your doing? Wouldn't doing this just damage his brain making him useless for interrogation?" Cassandra's question was valid since the temporal lobe is the one responsible for handling language comprehension hearing and some aspects of emotion.
But the most important function is it's containment of memories and that is what they need to get the information and proof that Maxwell hired them.
"Don't worry about it I have a plan to get around that if anything like that happens." He said trying to reassure her of his plan.
Cassandra relented as she proceeds. Sending out small currents of electricity through the needless in Ivan head.
Ivan let out low grunts as the pain of having your brain electrocuted wasn't a picnic as smoke began to come off his body.
"You can stop it Cass."
"You sure?"
"Yeah this should be enough for what I have planned.
He walked towards the smoking Ivan who seemed to be in another world as his eyes were unfocused.
As Lazarus approached smoky black aura began to come form around his hand.
