Watching as Rahs had left the room Lira was surprised to see Nallia quickly stand up and move to the displays she had broken during the fight. It was quick work for her as she picked the shattered and broken shards of glass from the damage before drawing a thin cylinder from some pocket on her armor. Struggling to see what she was doing all Lira managed to glimpse was an odd liquid being poured onto the broken pieces before they suddenly started repairing themselves.

Her eyes were drawn from the console when Nallia began speaking to her and after she had finally finished talking Lira responded "Well I don't want to be any kind of slave I know that much. And your offer is tempting cause I don't think anyone will let me go back home after seeing all this so it would be nice to know someone who won't try and sell me. But I'm just not sure....and how could I even help them anyways? My Galdr are useful but I'm no fighter and even if I worked with somebody I would only be another person to protect."

She shook her head, obviously conflicted about making such a commitment, when Rahs returned fully armed and armored and carrying the lance he had taken with him and a pair of handcuffs similar to hers. As he opened the cage she looked to Nallia still thinking hard about her offer and wondering how things would go from here.

Nallia complied to Rahs order and approached him with her hands in front of her so he could cuff them. She shrugged slightly at him as the cuffs were put in place, and her hands manoeuvred so she could scratch and tap the metal, trying to determine what is was. She tapped it twice before nodding contently to herself, with a fairly good idea that the cuffs are made as the same metal binding the other female. Once the cuffs were on she followed his directions and moved wherever he wanted her to go.

As she did this her head tilted to its side and she regarded the mercenary. So what do you intend to do with us? You intend on handing her over to that disgusting shuro, you have made that clear. But what will you do afterwards, and where do I end up? Her voice was curious questioning, and obviously ignoring his earlier order to be quiet.

Lira had remained silent since Rahs entered the cockpit, her struggle to think in a decision was obvious to the huntress and him. Nallia had moved towards the mercenary, extending his hand and he properly cuffed them, tight enough for her not to move so comfortably and so no one else could tell.

Instead of staying silent before finally getting ready to move out, Nallia decided to ask the mercenary another question. It didn't bother him much, only when she spoke badly of him. But still, as she finished the question, he closed the cage again, locking it and looking at the two females squeezing themselves to fit in the closed cage. "I'm gonna present you two before him, and then take you out of there when the deal's done. Either I manage to get more money for also catching an ADD agent before getting we leave or we just bust out of there, killing Oliver in the process. Or at least ruining his business."

Rahs obviously enjoyed the girls many slavers offered. But to simply stand before him made his stomach twirl inside him with disgust. Never in his life he had met someone as obnoxious as him, and probably he decided to do some good deed after all. He then carried the cage with one hand while the other held the lance, showing no effort at all to carry both of them through the ship. The voice echoed again, announcing their arrival at the station and preparing for docking, just when they got in the cargo bay and Rahs clipped the lance to his back to show no sign of attack as probably at least 10 guards were moving to receive them.

Making room for Nallia to fit in the small cage she watched as Rahs then closed the cage again, locking it once again before looking at the two of them. When he told them his plans for the huntress Lira wasn't surprised in the least that he would try it after what Nallia had told her that she would be used for. Easily lifting the cage Lira saw that it took him very little effort to lift the cage plus the two trapped women and walk it down to the cargo bay.

Waiting until the doors between the station and the ship began to open she leaned in towards Nallia, her hands resting on the cage floor and her well endowed chest unthinkingly pushed against Nallia's body, and tried to whisper "If you can get us out of here, I will go with you to the ADD. Ok?" Not waiting for an anwser she sat back down not wanting to draw attention to herself as she returned her hands to cover her bare chest and looked back to the nearly open door seeing the many guards milling about and waiting for a chance to come get the three of them.

At Lira's whisper Nallia nodded slightly. The cage was cramped, but that in turn gave her another advantage. With her body still covered in her armour, and the fact most species felt very uneasy whenever her eyes looked at them, would ensure that the winged female would be the focus of the slavers attention. Which would leave Nallia, for the most part, unattended.

Than again the sight of a female in armour, and equipped with grenades, a pistol and various other tubes would cause alarms, and Nallia preferred to keep the element of surprise. Having her Katana would be useful, and preferable. But she didn't and so she would have to work with what she had. As the cargo doors started to open Nallia pressed a button on her wrist, and in response her armour reconfigured itself to a pattern she never thought she would switch to. The bodysuit tightened over her, and the plating retracted into a thin band of armour covering her breasts. The appearance of a 'joke' agent costume was completed by the grenades, pistol and other pieces of equipment she carried vanishing in small cloaking fields.

With her appearance something much more suitable, although Nallia could do nothing about her eyes which continued to dart around, Nallia watched as the ramp came down. The moment she saw the chance she would activate the various surprises she had left scattered around here, both physical and in the compounds network.

Rahs had noticed that Lira had moved slightly in the cage but tried not to pay attention to the whispers that were hidden by the sound of the cargo doors opening. They had opened baerly an inch and the mercenary could already see the barrel of a gun pointing inside as the guards of Oliver positioned themselves outside.

He sighed, and glanced at the two females inside the cage, noting that the heron girl was once again covering her bosom but Nallia had shifed her armor to a more simple and not useful design. Keeping a low profile, he thought, looking at the tighter armor and noticing the disappearance of her weapons, probably hidden by cloaking fields.

The sound of a rifle being cocked made the syrictae turn his head forwards again. In front of them were at least a dozen of guards, some with guns pointing at them and the others with laser or modified melee weapons. Without a word, Rahs lifted the cage again and walked. One of the guards, probably a scout that failed to retrieve the heron, Rahs presumed, went ahead and tried to take the cage himself. The mercenary's hand quickly lashed at his and pushed it away, leering at the guard as he kept moving forward. "Easy now..." the guard said with a high-pitched voice as he joined his comrades and followed Rahs closely.

After walking through many corridors, the group could notice how the design kept changing as they moved on. The first chambers for clients were prettier than the docking bays, and the class kept going up until it was clear that the halls they were in were only for very important clients and Oliver himself. In fact, it was only through a large golden door that they could enter Oliver's giant quarters and be greeted by more guards and a blinding gold lights.

"Ah! The mercenary returns! And with the... Ohh, I can't believe it, those wings... Her beauty... It's obvious you've been successful in your mission! Now go on! Release her! You can't let such a lovely piece of art to stay cramped in a cage like that!" It was Oltrize's voice. That tone could only belong to the alien that thought he owned the universe. Quick to please their master, a couple of guards approached Rahs and the caged females until he glared at them.

Those bright blue eyes seeked blood and it froze them in place. "Not so fast, Oliver. I have a proposition to make. Since I'm in need of money and you could never have enough girls at your service, I decided to hand you over this ADD agent I captured. Surely she meets your requirements. Besides, I believe she is a Kaji, and therefore I would have to demand an increase in my payment."

To this, Oliver stood up from his throne and looked at Nallia, inspecting her carefully from afar. "Very well, an impressive feat needs an impressive reward." The slaver's eyes reflected nothing but greed and lust as she looked at Lira and Nallia, going down a bit as Rahs let go of the cage and it fell to the floor. "A hundred times what we agreed on," he said.

"What!? You plan to leave me without money!? The reward increased tenfold!" Oliver negotiated. "What!?" The syrictae replied with a high-pitched voice, obviously mocking the slaver before him. "I don't plan on giving you this agent and the heron for only that," Rahs added with his usual cold tone, crossing his arms.

"Fine then, mercenary, have it your way. I will keep the two of them and get rid of you. Or even better, get the reward the ADD set for you! Guards! Get him!" Rahs winced at his comment, acting like if taken aback by his decision. But beneath his mask, he was grinning as his hand reached around and gripped his lance.

Only the two guards that tried to get the cage earlier were the closest ones to him. The syrictae quickly placed the lance's blunt end on the floor and supported himself to make a strong kick to the one that had a rifle. The guard's shots hit the ceiling as he was sent flying backwards. He then spun the lance around and pierced the other's body and threw him away with ease, finally unlocking the cage and letting both Nallia and Lira out.

With the heavy door having finally rumbled open Lira looked towards the crowd of guards waiting for them. She noticed that they were carrying many different things, some of which she knew were weapons but the others were so odd looking that she had no idea of what they could be. When one of the guards approached, seeming to want to take hold of the cage himself, Lira looked worried for a moment before Rahs reached out and pushed his hand away.

After the guard had returned to his comrades and the group moved forward into the slaver's compound, Lira did her best to keep track of where they were as they moved through the twisting and changing corridors. Finally, the group came upon a large golden door and as they moved in they were greeted by more guards, brilliant gold lights, and the grating sound of someone's voice fawning over her.

With him screaming for her to be let out of the cage Lira watched as many of the guards approached clearly wanting to please their master before being stopped by the mercenary's imposing gaze. Absently listening as they bargained over her cellmate she finally heard things break down as Oliver decided to save himself the money and get rid of the mercenary altogether.

Quickly Rahs got rid of the two guards closest to the cage, sending one flying while the other was pierced through the chest and lay dieing on the floor. And with that the cage was finally unlocked, and as she slid her way out she stood behind the large mercenary. Standing now she had to use her cuffed hands to hold up the blanket covering her nethers or it would have slipped to the floor. Not having time to think about who would be able to see her bare chest she used the cover of Rahs' large body to softly begin singing the Galdr of Bliss so that only Rahs and Nallia would hear her. As she finished the song she added both of their names at the end hoping that it would allow her song to only target both of them.

Nallia moved out of the cage the moment it opened, and as Lira began to sing and as she felt the song's effects take root inside her Nallia plucked two small plugs from a cloaked belt pouch. The moment Lira's song ended a plug was pressed into each of her ears. Sonic dampeners, They block out any loud noise. Do not take them out. Nallia had some already inserted in her own ears, and the useful little devices only blocked out a pitch that would be painful or very loud. Quieter noises would be left unaffected, even if a loud noise was occurring right next to you you would still be able to hear a quiet noise several feet away.

With that protection in place she turned to face the guard rapidly recovering. As those with guns started to aim she spoke a single word. Balhosh. At the word a high pitched shriek sounded throughout the PA system of the base, one that was made up of several painful pitches that would ensure that as long as something had a sense of hearing, which all the shuro here did, it would cause pain to hear it. And since she had hacked the system earlier they would not be able to turn it off.

Off course she had no idea if Rahs had anything that would protect him from it, but she didn't really care about that. If he was immune good for him, if he wasn't it would make it that much easier to escape with Lira once Oliver was dead.

Rahs could feel how Lira came out of the cage and glanced quickly at her to check on her. She had to leave her chest exposed for everyone to see to be able to keep the blanket around her waist from falling and leaving her completely naked. The heron girl took cover behind the mercenary's strong and large body and immediately started to sing her Galdr.

As soon as she did, the syrictae was able to feel the effects and quickly turned around to see a new guard charging at them with a shotgun, ready to fire. Rahs used his own body to cover Lira's as the guard squeezed the trigger. He opted to protect the heron, receiving the full blow but just as he expected, it proved no match for his armor. The guard looked up at Rahs' mask in disbelief and he quickly pierced the guard's chest and kicked him away.

Rahs was just about to seek another guard to kill, but in that moment a loud noise was heard through the entire base. It was a very annoying noise with random pitches designed to incapacitate any being capable of hearing. Fortunately for the mercenary, his helmet, though damaged, still was capable of blocking out any sounds powerful enough to affect him. He worried about Lira, already suspecting that it was caused by Nallia since all the guards and Oliver himself dropped to floor holding their heads. Looks like she helped Lira with the noise...

"This ruins the fun, you know..." He said, however, as he turned around and looked at the guards, completely vulnerable. The syrictae approached one that was close to the three of them and quickly dispatched him. Just when he was going to get another one, from hidden doors came bigger and more prepared guards. These ones had helmets that apparently protected them from the sound, at least to some extent, but they were definitely the best Oliver had at his disposal. "At least they can offer some resistance..."

Hearing the shotgun blast as Rahs covered her with his body Lira worried for a moment before noticing that it had not even left a scratch on his armor. Confident about his skills now she peeked around his large body just as he impaled the impudent guard on his spear and kicked him away. With another dead guard's blood spilling out, the lush gold of the room was quickly marred by the pools of color dotting the floor.

Turning to look at Nallia she felt something being pushed into her ears before Nallia explained Sonic dampeners, They block out any loud noise. Do not take them out. Nodding she quickly said "Okay." The noise blaring from the loudspeakers seemed to be keeping most of the guards away from the three escapees as most of the guards and even Oliver himself had dropped to the floor clutching at their wounded ears.

With the guards seemingly incapacitated she watched as Rahs walked forward quickly dispatching one of the guards laying nearby and moments afterwards a hidden door opened revealing bigger and more prepared guards looking at the three with seething anger and with those who looked past the mercenary to the two women, obvious lust.

They are shuro. They do not deserve a honourable fight, only death. Nallia snapped back at Rahs when he said that her sonic blast ruined the fun. She watched as the bigger, larger, guards came through towards them. Her hand idly went to her wrist and tapped a couple of hidden buttons. In response explosives located in various places around the base detonated, often in the midst of groups of guards. Not that any of this was visible to anyone in the room.

Content to let Rahs deal with the elite guards Nallia started moving around the room, finding a knife on the first writhing guard clutching it's ears she started using it to slit the throat of the various incapacitated guards. She had to approach each guard carefully of course, they were still writhing and rolling around on the floor. An errant blow to her face could throw her nose plugs out, and that would be bad. Very very bad.

Honorable? As if... I only want some resistance. It was obvious Rahs didn't like Nallia's idea, but didn't complain much either. It certainly made the job easier even if kinda boring for him. Not to mention Lira's wonderful Galdr that still made him keep some effects on him as he approached the elite guards. Her magical singing helped him pretty much like Nallia's deafening trap, but he couldn't complain about how amazing it felt to have that boost in his abilities.

The first group, three of the more powerful guards, were blown away by the explosives the clever agent planted. Damn, don't know when nor how she got here to do all this, but she could have killed them all already... He headed towards another group that were pretty confused the sudden explosions. With a large leap, he quickly pierced a guard's helmet with great strength and left the lance remain there as he took care of another one with his bare hands. He managed to throw him off to a wall that with a perfect timing exploded, eliminating him entirely. Another one got ready to swing a large club at the mercenary, but with the extraordinary effects of his own training and experience, along with the Galdr, he could jump over the guard while snapping his neck.

Meanwhile Rahs grinned behind his mask and kept heading for other guards, the rest that were thrashing on the floor seemed to be already doomed as Nallia started to slit everyone's throats carefully. One the expert huntress approached, however, seemed to have lost all hope as he glanced at the mercenary. So once he saw Nallia approaching him with the bloody knife, the man lost all sense and simply made a last attempt to live on for a few more seconds, and started to thrash around and convulse like a madman. No one knew of the agent's weakness but somehow luck wasn't going to be on her side with the hysterical guards waiting to be killed like animals in the slaughterhouse.

Lira had little to do but watch as the expert huntress and mercenary made short work of the guards. One, moving from prone guard to prone guard and slitting their throats with uncanny precision, and the other dealing with the "elite" guards that had come from behind the hidden doorway only to die a horrible death by explosive or at the hands of the deadly mercenary.

Keeping her distance she used the cage as cover as she watched the death total rise. And as her eyes drifted towards Nallia she saw one of the prone guards seem to lose all sense and begin to thrash and convulse wildly after he saw her approaching with a knife bloodied with the lives of his comrades.

Lira knew nothing of Nallia's weakness but knew that the thrashing man's pitiful display would do nothing but make it more difficult for Nallia to end his life quickly. But even so with the two warriors working together the crowd of guards had dwindled to but a few and even those were to busy to defend Oliver himself.

Nallia's face was expressionless as she moved from guard to guard. The few who tried to resist were no where near fast enough to stop her from slicing the tendons in ... well whatever appendage they tried to use, before moving into the kill. By the time Rahs had dealt with the second group, the first being right in the path of a explosive, she had made her way around two thirds of the guards incapacitated in this room. Each one had at least one cut across their throat, or in some of the more exotic aliens several cuts severing vital organs, veins, breathing mechanisms and other such fatal cuts.

But as she approached the next one he started to thrash wildly. None of the others had been that much of a problem, and in her arrogance she simply slipped into his reach and slid the blade through his Lirrak, a very vital organ on that particular species of alien that was not only unhealable, it was also necessary. Once damaged it doomed the being to a slow agonising and unavoidable death. As she moved away her ever flickering eyes saw something moving towards her, and she dove backwards in response.

But as fast as she was, she just wasn't fast enough. The arm clipped her face, and although it had barely any force behind it and only just touched her the position jarred her. As she fell back into a combat roll, sneering as she rose she suddenly realised something.

She could smell. Her hands instantly closed around her nose, her fingers holding it closed. But that brief whiff of her own scent, and of the lingering scent of sex that her sensitive nose could detect, was enough to drive her mad with arousal. Her nipples hardened, something that was fairly noticeable in her modified armour, her cheeks flushed and her crotch was suddenly damp.

With her hands holding her nose she fell to her knees before starting to shuffle along, her eyes now sweeping the floor for her nose plugs. If she could find them before Rahs noticed her change in condition she would have a chance of escaping with Lira, if not ... this would be bad.

Most of the normal guards were dispatched expeditiously by the agent. All of her cuts were quick and straight to the vital organs. Rahs didn't act like her at all when he fought the elite guards, instead focusing on the massive damage he could do to them and the dodging skills of his. The few elite guards left were trying to move to Oliver in an attempt to protect the life of their employer and master, but they were already in the mercenary's sights.

He moved quickly between them and they got ready to fight him. One of them had a plasma machine gun and fired directly at Rahs, but he proved to be too cunning for them, and jumped behind the larger one, making the latter one fall victim to the deadly plasma. To make sure that the guard was dead, Rahs had to paint the floor with his fluorescent blood and dropped him, staring directly at the only elite guard left. He let the machine gun fall to the floor and dropped on his chubby knees, pleading the mercenary to let him live.

Not one to forgive so easily after being shot so many times, the mercenary at least gave the guard a quick death, yet painful for as long as it took. Only the rest of the normal guards and Oliver himself were left. To check on the two females' progress, he turned around and headed towards the cage, where Lira was. But on his way there, he could notice how Nallia was on the floor holding her face and apparently looking for something.

"What's the matter, agent? Lost your contact lenses or what?" He asked her, approaching the Kaji slowly. The guard that hit her face was convulsing even more wildly, feeling how his lirrak had been damaged and he was moving slowly to a painful death. I guess madness overcomes you if you're not prepared to die, the mercenary reasoned as he looked at the guard and quickly pierced his skull with the lance. "Hm?" But upon looking down at the dead alien, he could see how a pair of small things glistened with the blood on them and the golden lights.

Rahs crouched and picked up Nallia's nose plugs, inspecting them carefully and wiping the blood from them. He was just going to ask the agent if she knew what they were exactly, being oblivious to her weakness, but in that moment, Oliver decided to speak what he knew were his last words. He didn't make them count, however. "YOU!!... SHAL- AAAARGH... PAY FOR THIS!!"

The syrictae didn't exactly remembered that there was a deafening sound going through the entire and therefore didn't know why the slaver had to yell. But it didn't matter as Rahs looked at him and threw the nose plugs away, to a random corner in the room before twirling his lance and placing it over his shoulder. "I believe the universe has had enough of you. You die right now, Oliver." And with that, Rahs threw the lance at the fat slaver, the weapon piercing through his neck, effectively having him to go through a painful agony before finally dying.

"Good riddance..." The mercenary sighed, and turned back to the heron girl and the agent. But as he noticed that Nallia was still on the floor, he decided to get close to her. "Hey hey, what's the matter with you?" He asked her as he pushed her body around with a foot, still aware that she was some kind of reward for defeating her before. But what he saw surprised him to some extent. He could see how her nipples were erect and tried to pierce through the material of her modified armor, and it was enough to let him know of her current state. "Well well, what's this? Killing bad guys gets you excited?" One of his feet rose slightly before going down on Nallia's crotch, just so he could see her reaction to the pressure on her suddenly aroused nether region.
