Alpis Criminal Detention Center

Sector Gamma, Alpis Criminal Detention Center...

In this secretive and highly guarded prison is where most of political prisoners and revolutionaries against the current government were arrested.

There other people in there as well, such as spies and traitors.

This prison was highly dreaded because of what happen to those that are sent there.

In such facility they torture the prisoners for all the information they can get out of them. Pretty normal for this universe's standards.

But what happens next is what really make people fear this place. After they were done with them, the Universal Hylotl Government, UHG, wouldn't just dispose of the person, no, they would either send them to Debt-Enslavement Camps, or just sell them to the Miniknog to become nothing more than lab rats.

In this dreaded prison, at a completely white prison cell, a single red-haired person with only one arm, completely naked, could be seen hanging in the air by chains in his wrist and others pierced all over his body.

Blood dripped from his injuries, slowly forming a small puddle of red liquid that stained the white floor beneath him.

At his side, another person was standing there, wearing a militaristic uniform. It was a humanoid with three red eyes, and colorful scales that covered his whole body, in short, a Hylotl.

The one chained and currently undergoing a round or two of torture sessions was Jevil Redhook, the recent prisoner for betraying the Letheia Corporation and colluding with Nova Rebellion.

Jevil coughed some blood, and with a faint smile on his face, he spoke, "Why don't you use better chains? I mean something made of Durasteel would at least make me think that I'm an important or a dangerous prisoner."

*Bam* the soldier punched Jevil in the stomach.

Jevil coughed even more blood as he thought inwardly, [There's nothing they can do to me that I haven't gone through before. I had went to hell and came back alive and stronger than ever. I guess it really is true the ancient saying, 'What doesn't kill you, make you stronger.' Ahh... This situation that I find myself into really bring back some memories...how nostalgic.]

After finishing, Jevil flashed a smile with his bloodied teeth, "Continue, I like it rough."

*Bam* another punch.

"Gosh, *cough, cough*. I like it rough, but not too much. Look, I'm already a disabled. I lost an eye and an arm. Take a little easier with me-"

*Bam* The soldier mercilessly delivered another heavy punch.

"I don't care that you lost an eye and an arm." The Hylotl guard said as he threw a disgusted look at his own hand that had been dirtied with Jevil's blood, "I would take the rest of your limbs and organs as well. In fact, I might do it. As long as you are still alive, the higher ups gave me freedom to do whatever I want with you." The man smiled and spoke, "So, Jevil. You want this to go in the hard and painful way, or not? You better tell us everything you know about Nova Rebellion and we can grant you a fast death, rather than being endlessly tortured without the chance to die."

"Don't bother trying to convince him." The prison cell was open by some armored guard and a red Hylotl young male wearing a blue military outfit entered. There was a casual smile on his face, but Jevil could feel the danger that lied behind such facade.

[He remembers me of Mao...] Jevil frowned as he thought of that psychopathic monster of the Occasus Cult.

"Lieutenant Shougo?" The man that was hitting Jevil was surprised as soon as he saw the person who entered, "Why are you here?" He immediately gave a military salute and stood with his back straight.

Despite he saluting, his body was shuddering as his face showed fear of the young Hylotl.

"The Sumeragi want answers as soon as possible, of course they would send me." The young Hylotl answered nonchalantly without even bothering to glance at the guard that was already in there, "I'll take over from now on. You can go..."

"Yes, sir." The guard acknowledged his order and hurriedly left the place like he was running away from a monster.

Seeing the guard fleeing from him, Shougo just smiled and shook his head.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Jevil Redhook." Shougo said courteously, "I didn't know when I would have the chance to meet a leader of one of Letheia Corporation's information network."

Jevil frowned for moment before realization came to him, "You aren't from Letheia...you are from the UHG's army."

"Correct." Shougo walked forward and looked up as Jevil was suspended a little higher by the chains, "I'm new in the army. I don't have too many connections with the corporation and neither with the army."

"That means you are a rare talent. For them to allow a young person such as yourself to climb until becoming a Leiutenant."

"Yes, just like you..." Shougo lifted his hand caressed Jevil's chest wounds.

Shougo's white glove was soon painted red with all the blood that was on Jevil's body after some rounds of torture.

Jevil slightly flinched at Shougo's touch. As soon as Shougo's hand touched his chest, his hair stood up and he had goosebumps in his whole body.

"No need to fear." Shougo's smile widened. He got closer and whispered, "I won't cause you harm, not physical harm, I mean."

After saying those lines he stepped back created some distance between them once again.

Jevil saw Shougo's kind smiling expression but he couldn't help turn serious when feeling that eerieness and coldness behind it.

"You know why they gave you for me to handle?" Shougo asked casually, "Because they have your whole backstory in files. They know you are going to be a tough nut to crack. Your dislike for the corporation runs deeper than they thought. In the end, physical torture won't make you talk, so they needed someone else... someone like me. Every person have some kind of weakness. You have it as well. It's just a matter of time before I can figure it out."

Shougo lifted his arm and grabbed Jevil's head to put it closer to his.

Jevil saw that face up close. It really reminded him of Mao, both of them were the same type of person, but Jevil knew that Mao was a lot more dangerous that the young male on front of him. Of course, this didn't mean that he didn't feel the danger coming from Shougo, but compared to Mao, it was a lot lesser.

"Do know know what I'm going to do?" With one grabbing Jevil's head, Shougo used the other to touch the scar in Jevil's left eye, "I'm going to break you. I'm to going to break your mind and make you willingly disclose all information we want. I have a lot of toys and drugs that need to be tested, I really hope you are as strong as it said on the reports, it would be a shame if don't have the chance to test everything on you. Oh... I'm looking forward to our private time together."

Shougo released Jevil and straightened his clothes before shouting an order for the guards outside, "Guards, give him a shower and him to my... playroom..."

"Yes, sir." Four guards entered the in the jail.

Jevil's face darkened as felt a syringe being injected in his neck. He knew it was just a drug to make him weak and completely unable to move on his own, he really disliked the feeling of unknown substances injecting in his body.

As he was dragged outside by two guards, Jevil's eyes fell on Shougo that was with his back turned to him, talking with someone.

[This Hylotl is dangerous.] Jevil thought, [Another one that just entered in my kill list.] He smiled inwardly.

He was unworried because he knew it was just a matter of time before he could escape from this prison.

And when he was free, he would certainly make plans to kill of the person known as Shougo.
