Child of Destiny Wesley Terro: Dark Awakening

When morning came Wesley and Silver were awakened by a rock hitting Wesley's head from the direction of the bars.Wesley yelped in pain.

"Now I see how you two have fun" laughed evil looking tiger-man with purple eyes dressed in a scientist unifom standing out side the bars. His white fur pattern was one of the common ones circling his muzzle ,going down the front of his neck and front, and ending like Wesley's.

"What?" Silver asked before noticing how the cold and fear had made him and Wesley touch each other. He got up and barked "(bark) No, you sick thing your wrong it was just so cold that getting that close was the only way to stay warm!"

"(laughing) Yeah right"the tiger laughed again.Wesley got mad and grabbed the bars.

"You try being locked up naked in a cage with a cold floor with another person and let's see how you would get warm!"Wesley growled. Silver looked scared and back into a cornor.When wesley saw silver and walked up to him. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you" he apologized.

"It's ok " silver sobbed "I get scared easily now. And to think I use to dream of being a hero like the Starfox team ,but now it will never..(yelp)" he was cut off by a shock of pain from his left arm that made him fall to the floor.Wesley bent down and helped him up"Thanks"Silver said.

"See what did I tell you two" the tiger smiled "Don't stop your fun because I'm here."

"Cyrus" Malice's voice growled from behind him.Cyrus turned looking away from the bars and saw Malice.sice it was bright now Malice's yellow eyes were able to be seen along with his white pattern that matched Cyrus's except formed spikes touching the backs of his eyes and ending halfwaybetween his waist and legs."Torturing the boys is my job" Malice barked picking Cyrus up by the neck with an invisible force from his right hand. "Besides our stupid no good boss wants my fun to start afther they have lunch."He dropped Cyrus and kicked him in the chest breaking a rib. "Now Leave!" Malice roared.Cyrus staggered out of the room as Wesley tried to keep Silver from being to scared.

"Don't worry we will get out of here"Wesley wispered. Malice signaled two skull guards.they aimed their guns at Wesley and Silver signaling for them to move.

As they stepped out of the cage Wesley still holding Silver to keep him less scared, Silver sobbed "You really think so?" The skull guards were now pointing their guns at the back of Wesley's and Silver's head and leading them from the cage.

"Yes" Wesley answered. They were led down a hall that had bones littering the floor,then through a courtyard where Malices soldiers were literally being whipped into shape by torture masters,Venom soldiers with flesh demonic looking armor over their uniforms and black horned masks, using whips that were like nine whips in one with a sharp blood red spike at the end of each one. Finally they got to a huge stone building shaped like a box with bared windows and only one steel twenty foot door.The door moaned as it opened.They could see it was a cafateria with no roof, and a blood stained floor filled with thousands maybe even millions of prisoners everyone of them kids like them and Children of Destiny like them also.All of the other prisoners were naked just like Wesley And Silver. A warm good smell filled the air inside and they noticed the breakfest was bacon,pancakes, fruit, and milk.

"Hey boys" one of the skull guards whispered. Wesley and Silver looked at him."The food is one of the few good things we managed to get for you and the other prisoners at this prison" the skull guard continued. "We talked Malice into great food for you all,since everyone of us have seen the torture he dose to his prisoners. If we didn't do that he would have changed the food this prison always had to rotting food, but in doing so he killed nearly a hundred of us."

"Thank you" Silver smiled before his arm began hurting again.

"Thanks from me too" Wesley agreed."If what happened so far is any hint we will need to be strong."

"Now go eat" the skull guard ordered kindly. when Wesley and Silver entered the cafateria the door creeked shut. They saw there were plenty of lines so they all were short. After getting their food and sitting down to eat they began to think of ways out of the prison not only for themselves but for EVERYONE BOTH PRISNERS AND GUARDS, because they knew the guards hated the prison as much as them.

"I know, what if everyone dug a hole out of the prison" Silver suggested. Wesley shook his head he knew Silver was trying but he also knew even the guards were being watched.

"No, I think Malice will notice if there we a lot of holes in the base"Wesley sighed. They came up with many plans but they all had something wrong with them. Thirty minutes after they got done eating a loud gong sounded. Rows of skull guards lined up and began escorting the prisoners out of the cafateria two by two a guard for every prisoner. They noticed the prisoners talking to the guards as if they were friends. When two of the guards came for Wesley and Silver they got ready to fight.

"Calm down boys"one of the skull guards said lowing his laser rifle. They regonized the voice as belonging to one of the soldiers who brought them to the cafateria."Did you have a good breakfest in this damn ...(gasp) sorry, hell?" he asked

"Yes" Silver answered. "If you all hate Malice so much why don't you do something?"

"Well you see, Malice is to strong for even all of the guards and prisoners here to fight"the skullguard explained. "To make things worse he has many warriors in the base who are loyal to him and that includes the skull guards who guard the cells, base exits, sky, and forest but not the few who escort the prisoners around the base."

"Oh" Silver sighed lowering his head.Wesley looked in the sky as they exited the cafateria and saw thousands of patroling Venom fighters circling the base.

"This is going to be harder than I thought" Wesley thought out loud. They were led into another barred building that looked like a spiked palace with a soldier stabbed through every spike. This building had a roof unlike the cafateria.

"Stop right there" a skull elite, like the skull guards but with dragon skulls insted of the type of animal they are and bone dragon wings, snarled. "What are you doing with these prisoners?"

"What dose it look like you stupid freak taking them to class!" the second skull guard that escorted Wesley and Silver barked. The skull elite looked Wesley in the face then spitted on him.The guard held Wesley back from striking the guard with his right hand claws. Wesley looked at the guard.The skull guard shook his head no, so Wesley just growled lowering his claws after the skull guard let his hand go.

"Fine take this stupid beasts on in" the skull elite hissed opening the fifteen foot stone door with one hand.

After walking in and a short ways from the door Wesley asked " (low growl) Why didn't you let me tear him up ?"

"If you strike one of those guards not only will malice increace the torture he dose to you but he will kill both me and my partner" the skull guard explained.

"Oh, I didn't know" Wesley apologized.

"What did you mean by taking them to class?" Wesley asked the second guard. He saw Silver with his head down and crying softly as if he already knew.

"Well" the second skull guard started. "It's more like you two are the test subjects of the class.."

"Test subjets?" Weley gulmped.

"Yes" the second skull guard responded. "Malice has turned this palace into a school where he teaches children what he calls the 'the art of torture." They walked into a hall where lockers locked by cat-skull topped lockers and dorrs filled the stone halls."And everyday he takes prisoners into diffrent classrooms for the students to practice what they've leared" the second skull guard finished just as he saw Malice looking at them.A Venom captain went to Malice holding a glass of coffee.

Malice looked at his watch then growled"Your a second late!" He grabbed the coffee with his right hand and got his left hand claws out. In one swift and bloody movement he chopped off the captain's head and shreeded it to a skull.He walked to the skull guards that were escorting Wesley and Silver. "Who's class are they in today?"Malice asked the skull guards.

"The one you teach sir!" the skull guard reported saluting.

"The one your heading to!" the second skull guard copied.Malice finished his coffee and had another captain take the cup away.

"Good"Maliced smiled evilly.When he smiled a cold breeze whipped through the air of the schooll's halls. "But will you do me a favor?" He asked.

"Yes sir!" the skull guards responded at the same time.

"I know this is an army but relax and don't act like robots"Malice chuckled "It makes you look and sound stupid. Besides this time I won't kill you since my daughted was the one who wanted me to hire you two, but next time you do it your dead>"

"Yes .. no uh"the skull guard studdered.

"Ok it won't happen ever again" the second skull guard said at the same time. Malice laughed darkly knowing even if his daughter wouldn,t let him kill those two skull guards he could still scare them.

"Now for you"Malice growled closing his left hand around Silver's throat.Malice began to snarl lifting Silver up."Last time you got away not only the fifty who helped you payed but so did the rest of the base"

"What (gasp) do.. you ?" Silver gasped for air.

"(barking growl) Leave him alone!" Wesley barked charging Malice. He hit Malce in the face with his claws and Malice retured with a claw slap of his own. Malice then kneed Wesley under the mouth with his right knee hard enough to knock him into a daze when he hit the floor. The hit also caused Wesley to bleed from the mouth.

"Sorry sir we.. " the second skull guard started but was interruped by Malice's demonic laughing.

"No need he's a wild one "Malice smiled "and breaking to my will will be fun!"Malice looked back at Silver who was struggling to get free.

"Your... " Silver gasped.Malice tightened his grip to shut Silver up.

"Now back to you" Malice said calmly almost pleasently. "Last time the only time you escaped and the time I gave you that" Macice growled closing his right hand tightly over Silvers left. The pain made Silver yelp loudly. Malice continued" I destoried that weapon tht hurt you so it won't kill you then heal you when you return alive, after I wiped out every soldier at this base and their families" Malice dropped Silver.He turned and walked dout of the hallway and the cold felling left.

"Silver, are you... ok?" Wesley asked wiping the blood off his mouth.

"(cough) .. Yeah I think so" Silver coughed. The skull guards helped them up and they started walking again.

"Since we may be here for a while we should get to know each other" the skull guard said. The second skull guard stopped when he heard a low moaning sound from under the bloody floor.

"Am I hearing things" the second skull guard thought. He caught up to the group after shaking his head to see if he was insane.
