Chapter 24

Decade turned the screen around and watched as everyone's eyes (apart from Yin's) widened at the sight of the Black Reaper under this kind of treatment. Decade was determined to get his hands on the information that Hei was keeping and he was going to get it any method possible. What was happening now was a mixture of physical torture, such as the beatings and the mental torture, such as psychological attack to break down the walls that BK-201 had made so well. November 11 wouldn't have been able to handle that sort of treatment but the Black Reaper was different, the Black Reaper wasn't the average contractor like other MI-6 members were. Much like November 11, there was something that made him different from the others. April cautiously looked to the side at November 11 to see his reaction to this. Huang growled at the sight. As much as he always refused to admit that he gave a damn, seeing Hei going through all this torture...It made Huang feel sorry for the man. Having to go through life trying to find what happened to his sister...yet at the same time, fighting to survive in this harsh world.

"You're really enjoying this, aren't you?" Huang asked.

"Do you realise how much trouble the Black Reaper has caused me? I can't help but feel excited seeing the Black Reaper getting his just reward." The satisfaction in Decade's eyes looked more like venom from a rattlesnake. Huang had seen those types of eyes before, and that was when Amber had come back around and Hei was pissed. His eyes them held the venom that Decade held now.

"A sick man like you, anyone being tortured would please you," Huang looked away.

"Take them to the d-" Alarms started to ring; Decade looked at the screen to see that BK-201 was already making a move. There was the cue for November 11 and the others to make their moves.

Under the Mask – Chapter 24

Hei had felt the Meteor Shard nearby and that meant that Amber was near. Hei looked up in front of him to see that the guards must have noticed the change in his aura and hesitated to continue. That was all it took to convince Hei that now was the time to strike back. Feeling the effects from the Meteor Shard, Hei activated his ability, weakening the chains that restricted him and he broke free from the chair. The shackle still attacked to his arm with some loose chain hanging off but Hei could move. That was what he needed at the moment. The guards were quick to react as they moved to draw their guns from their pockets but Hei was quicker. Throwing a punch of his own to the guards, they staggered back far enough to get a taste of Hei's kick too. Grabbing the keys, Hei made a break for it before the guards recovered. Unlocking the door, Hei made a break for it.

Running down the corridors he didn't hesitate to kill any MI-6 guard or contractor that got in his way. He wasn't going to let them take him back to the cell to further try and break him. His whole body was screaming in pain from the punishments but he kept pushing himself for his freedom. If he bumped into November 11 then that was great but Amber was nearby and that was who he was targeting.

"Freeze!" Guards yelled as they open fired at Hei. He dodged the bullets as much as he could but without his bullet proof coat, some bullets either grazed his arms or shoulders, while some bullets broke through the skin or embedded into his muscles, not strong enough to go all the way through. Hei winced at the pain but he couldn't let that stop him. Hei continued on his escape path, taking out the guards and moving on.

"Brother..." He froze for a moment as he heard HER voice.

"Bai..." He said softly as he turned around and saw her smiling up at him.

"Let's get out of here brother," Bai smiled at Hei and offered her hand to him. Hei looked away for a moment. Getting out of here would be great but at the same time, he felt that there was something wrong and staying here would help for some reason. In the pool of blood, Hei noticed a familiar spectre.

"Sorry...but my friend is here...I can't leave her." He tore himself away from Bai and moved to try and find Yin. If she was here then Huang and Mao might also be there. He couldn't risk letting his friends get captured by the MI-6 and tortured like he was. Bai frowned slightly but it was soon replaced by a smile.

Under the Mask – Chapter 24

Everything was going to plan; November 11 knew that he just needed to wait a bit more before the MI-6 put Hei's team into their prison cells. Yin and Mao weren't going to be punished but he hoped that Huang could put up a fight at least. Not to reveal anything but to at least hold it in so that November 11 had enough time to locate Li and break him out. Decade was following, feeling the safest with November 11 who could stand up to BK-201 and come out with little to no scratches. That was his mistake though. November 11 was planning on killing Decade the chance he got for putting Li through all this pain. It was bad enough that Li's own company put him through so much pain that the Black Reaper was a result. He hated to see the MI-6 doing the same thing and probably erasing everything that November 11 was working so hard to try and heal. Li wasn't as bad as he was when he first came into November 11's hands. Maybe that was because of his love for Li but Li wouldn't have put up with everything he did if he didn't crave the affection that November 11 gave him. He couldn't just give up on him now.

"These cells would do," Decade said as he unlocked the cell door.

"Let them go!" November 11 turned to see the Black Reaper standing at the other end of the corridor.

"Hei, don't do anything stupid!" Huang yelled.

"Let them go!" Hei demanded again.

"Well, seems not even MI-6 cells can hold the Black Reaper. Looks like I'll have to kill you here," November 11 said with a smile on his face. He needed to stay in character and he mentally hoped that Li could see that. They weren't friends in the eyes of the world; it was only their own little world that they were friends...allies or even lovers. Li was about to make a run before November 11 hit the fire alarm. Sprinklers responded quickly to the alarm and sprayed water down onto the people below, Li shielded his mask as much as he could while watching November 11 activate his contractor power and slammed his hand down onto the wet ground below. From that one simple touch, ice formed and quickly moved towards Li. One advantage was that Li couldn't use his power without hurting Huang and the others nearby. He liked his team and he wouldn't cause them harm just to survive. That wasn't how he worked and November 11 knew that. Doing this, he could 'catch' Li once more to put him into a much more suitable cell for Li. He watched as Li's sight was on the ice coming his way. Just before it reached him, Li jumped into the air as the ground below him turned to ice. "Not bad Mr. BK-201."

"Cheap tricks won't work twice." He spoke in a serious voice but November 11 could easily detect the hint of mischief in his voice. Decade drew a gun and pointed it at Yin's head.

"Surrender yourself BK-201 or your precious doll's blood will be on your hands."
November 11 finds BK-201 all beaten and blood covered. Instead of capturing BK-201, November 11 decides to nurse BK-201 back to his perfect condition. Discovering BK-201 more he feels attracted to the contractor, in more ways than one.
