[u]Slaver Ship: half an hour before reaching the orbital nation[/u]

Spartan slowly opened his glowing blue eye's, his head was spinning, he looked around to find out where he was, then his eye's shot wide open when he took in his surroundings, disregarding the fact he has some kind of energy cuffs on him and where he was, he got to his feet and the first thought that came to mind was where was Eve, as he walked around the large holding room, he seen things that looked like they were out of a book, then he seen her, she was passed out along side the wall of the area, he walked up to her and went to nudge her shoulder, then he noticed the cuffs on himself, confused he tried to pull his hands away from each other in an attempt to break the energy cuffs, but it didn't work, Spartan grit his teeth before putting all his strength into trying to break free, but he couldn't, it was as if his strength had been drained from him, that's when he noticed Eve had them on her too, as well as every other being in this holding room
"what's going on here?..." Spartan asked himself as he slowly took a seat near Eve, then a deep voice emanated a few feet away from them in a darker part of the room
.
"we are being taken to an orbital nation... called Quwell Koma... to be sold as slaves, trophy's, or worse..." said the voice, Spartan looked in the direction of the one speaking to see a tall humanoid alien with four arms, it's cuffs were shaped as an X which firmly held all it's arms
.
"how did this happen?..." Spartan asked himself as he looked down to Eve in concern for her
.
"It always happens... but no one notices a few missing people..." the alien said to him, Spartan then grew a determined look
.
"we're getting out of here" Spartan said as he began to get up
.
"there's no point in trying..." the alien said in a serous tone, as Spartan got to his feet he looked to the alien with a raised brow
"those cuffs on you wont let you... the second one of the crew see's you up to anything-" the alien said as it looked up with it's four eye's to what could be guessed as a camera
"-they'll give you a very painful electric shock... or have the guards beat you until your unconscious... or both..." the alien said as it looked to the metal floor
.
"that's no reason to give up, there has to be a way..." Spartan said with grit teeth as he looked around at every being with them
.
"you let me know when you find one... and I'll do my best to help..." the alien said as it closed it's eye's, then his eye's jolted open as she ship shook followed by a faint roar that rang through the metal walls
"there's that noise again..." the alien said in a slightly annoyed tone before he closed his eye's, Spartan looked around when he heard it, then the realisation hit him, whoever abducted them had abducted Magnus as well
.
"Magnus?..." Spartan said silently to himself before the ship shook again, once more a faint roar rang through the walls, feeling defeated, Spartan sat down beside Eve and tried to think of a way to explain what happened to them when she woke up

[u]Inside another part or the ship meant for holding large beast-like animals[/u]

There were rows of large cages that were stacked on top of each other in this room, each one holding a beast of unknown origin, most of them were asleep, some were restless, others were whimpering, but one was angry, at the end of the room was a cage slightly larger then most and away from other cages, the reason being that it was a cage lined with energy shielding making it glow dimly in the dark of the room, inside it was Magnus, a cybernetic dragon with a bad attitude, he stood in his cage of all fours glaring out to some pirates who were staring at him, he let out a dangerous growl as his claws slightly scrapped against the floor of the cage
.
"what is that thing?" one of the pirate asked
.
"it's a machine, isn't it obvious? what kind of animal has metal for skin and lights for eye's?" another said
.
"one things for sure, it has a bad attitude..." one of the pirates said with anger, the others looked to him
.
"oh really? do tell" one asked with a grin, his eye's widened as the pirate turned to face them, most of the other half of his body looked like it had been melted
"the hell happened!?" one pirate asked the burned one
.
"turns out this thing can breath burning hot plasma..." he said as he turned to face the best
"I found that out when I tried to stop it from clawing and biting at the bars of it's cage... when I jabbed it with an electric spear it looked into my eye's and let out a screech that damn near caused my ear drums to rupture, then it blasted me with a torrent of plasma, I barely managed to get out of the way, and it almost melted the bars, so I turned on the shield..." he said with grit teeth
.
"well I guess that means you owe him some payback doesn't it?" one of the pirate asked with a grin as he tossed an electro-spear to the burned pirate, he caught it without looking, hatred in his eye's
"yeah, I guess it does..." he said as he slowly walked up to the cage, Magnus growled as he took a step back, without warning the pirate thrust the spear forward, through the shield, jabbing Magnus in his chest and electrocuting him, Magnus bellowed out a roar of pain as he reeled back from the shock, hitting the shield of the cage, shocking him again, Magnus then stood in the middle of the cage growling as he glared at the burned pirate
"it hurts doesn't it?" the pirate said with a grin, the other pirates were laughing at the beast
"better do it again, just to be sure..." the burned one said with anger, Magnus tensed slightly and narrowed his eye's, then burned pirate then thrust into the cage again towards Magnus's chest, but was stopped when Magnus bit down on the spear, the pirate gasped as he was then pulled through the cage's shield, the others had a look of dread when they seen it happen, the burned one got to his feet and ran to the bars of the cage to get out, but was stopped by the shield, as he touched it he was shocked and knocked down, he got up quickly and panicked
"get me out! get me out!!!" he exclaimed, the other pirates panicked and scrambled to look for the shield controls, some just stood there and watched, the burned one turned around to see the metal beast glaring at him with the electro-spear in his jaws, it growled before the spear snapped in half letting the pieces fall to the cage floor, then it glared at him and growled
"no-no-no! get the f*ck back you stupid beast!" the pirate exclaimed as he backed up to the shield, Magnus narrowed his eye's before he used his tail to knock the pirate down to his stomach, he tried to get up but felt a heavy metal paw press against him, he let out a terrified scream as he tried to get free, Magnus then gripped the burned pirate in his claws and held him up, without a second thought Magnus slammed the burned pirate up against the shielded cage bars, the pirate let out a scream mixed with fear, agony, and anger as he was electrocuted by the shield, the others watched as the shield lit up, Magnus just growled as he pushed the burned pirate through the shield, the sound of the burned pirates body being shocked blocked out his screams before he was finally pushed out of the cage, his body then fell the floor with a thud, his whole body was scorched black, he was dead, the other pirates gather around their dead comrade before looking to the metal beast, Magnus inhaled deeply before letting out a monstrous roar, the pirate stumbled back in fear before they ran, Magnus stood there, feeling a sense of pride, but he would not rest until he was free

[u]Slaver ship docking[/u]

Spartan open his eye's, they had arrived, pirates entered the holding area and began rounding up the captives, earlier Spartan had explained their situation to Eve when she woke up, she didn't want to believe it, but the evidence was to strong to not believe it, as everyone was being moved out, an energy chain formed to link every beings cuff to one another, Spartan was linked behind Eve, and the four armed alien was behind Spartan, the they all began moving out of the ship to the dock
"Spartan... I'm scared..." Eve whispered to Spartan
.
"I know... but you have to be brave, we'll get out of this... I promise" Spartan said in a serous tone as he took in their surroundings, the alien behind him didn't say anything, it just kept it's head down, secretly glaring at the pirates with the eclectic batons
.
after everyone was out of the ship, heavy machines drove up the ramp to the ships cargo hold, and shortly after they started bringing large cages out, one of which was Magnus shielded cage
"careful with this one, I heard it managed to kill a crew member while it's cage's shield was up..." the one driving the machine silently gulped as he brought it towards the market area, and around back to the exotic shop, there cages with alien animals had been placed, Magnus's cage was placed away from the other cages for the safety of the other animals, Magnus let out a growl as he watched the driver quickly leave the area
.
Spartan was quiet as they were corralled into a shop, outside aliens peered through the windows at the new merchandise that just got in, they watched as everyone was brought out of sight to the back of the shop where they were thrown into a single holding cell, the owner of the shop and the pirates had left the room to talk business, Spartan listened to the others speak, Eve was quiet as she looked around, Spartan looked around as well, the four armed alien had taken the liberty to lean against one of the cells walls, Spartan thought he had a way to break his cuffs, but he needed to be sure they weren't being watched
