章 108: The Torture Begins
~~~(POV: Nathan Opal)~~~
~~~(Location: 13th Floor of Star Cabal Base, Uncharted Space)~~~
The elevator door for the 13th floor opens, and SCORPIO is the first to exit. I follow behind her, and she points to the door down the single hall with no other entrances to other rooms.
"That's where the leaders of The Star Cabal are gathered. If you wish for me not to be involved in your confrontation, tell me now."
There isn't a shot in hell that I'm leaving SCORPIO out of my sight. A dangerously intelligent droid like her can't be making moves when I'm not watching. I walk past her and let her follow behind before I answer.
"You'll join me. This is a perfect chance for you to learn how to torture and kill. It's something that's important to getting information, as well as revenge."
It serves multiple purposes, and these are the most common. Why I'm doing all this is for revenge. My parents will be avenged today, and nothing will stop me.
"I'll be recording the opportunity for further study later. I look forward to seeing what kind of pain can be inflicted with The Force."
There is a bloodlust that I find... Good about SCORPIO. Refreshing. Most of the people and beings I've met or traveled with generally do the right thing, and not the necessary thing. SCORPIO is the opposite of that, which is nice for a change.
As we approach, the large metal doors crumple into a mess of metal, and I toss it into the wall across the room. Everyone's arguments come to an end, and I see who's here in person. The holograms shut off, and I noticed some important faces.
Names on the list that belong to important Imperial and Republic officials, but they're all gone now. After I'm done with this, I'll make the list public.
"Well... These are the people that ordered the capture, torture, and murder of my parents... Little men and women playing God..."
I leap with The Force to the center of the table, and SCORPIO guards the door. She doesn't need to, but I'm guessing she's going it for a better view of what's about to happen.
"Please!! Spare me, Nathan!! I told them not to do it! They refused to listen and forced me to trac-!!"
At a simple thought, the man lifts off the ground clutching at his neck. Everyone is turning their eyes away, but I'm not having that. I lift my left hand, and I grip everyone's heads and turn them toward the man and force their eyes open.
"You'll all do well to remember this... I'll be killing each and every one of you. Slowly, and painfully. Just like my mom and dad died."
I know that I shouldn't be enjoying this, but I feel so fucking satisfied now that I'm here. Standing above the people that took the people that loved me away.
A gesture is all it takes to crush the man's neck and fold his head and body into itself. He's crushed into a ball of limbs, organs, and blood. The muffled screams from his head within his chest make the people watching puke.
"I have the ability to keep people alive, even when I'm killing them. Especially for moments when one should die, I can keep them alive to suffer the pain. Now, who's next?"
I drop my focus on the ball that used to be a man, and it falls to the ground with a squelch as blood flies in different directions. I search the minds of the people here, and I find the leader of the entire Star Cabal.
As I turn my head to him, a shiver runs down his body. He lifts from his seat and floats toward me. Locked stiff from Force Statis on his body.
"Everything you've built... It's all coming down today, and there isn't anything you can do to stop it."
Before another moment passes, I shock him with White Force Lightning. I make sure I put the least amount of power I can into him. But his skin is starting to char slowly. So I stop, and he gets on his hands and knees as he falls forward.
But I take a step and place my hand on his body. I heal him completely. There is no way in hell any of these people are getting a quick death. It's going to be very long and even more painful.
