The large metal gate bursts open under the heavy blow, the large piece of metal skidding into the next room. A bright green glow provides a welcome relief from the encroaching darkness of the hallway, until Leeroy's eyes adjust. Chained to the walls are a series of men and women, of various shapes and sizes. Some sport several sets of arms, others are more insectlike than anything else, with no distinguishable gender. Several of Mia's zombie servants look up, bright green goggles turning and focusing, as the newcomer entered the room. Blood dripped to the ground, as eyes sunk deep into faces look up, too weary for screams, too tired to even exclaim at this unexpected turn of events. These were the newcomers to Mia's domain, those who retained their sanity, tortured only through 'conventional' means. Said conventional means are raised as one of the creatures charged Leeroy, only to be briskly slapped aside and to smash into a wall, it's metal-reinforced skeleton shattering and it's goggles cracking open. A green, slightly luminescent fluid leaks from it's wounds, even as the lights begin to flicker.\Mia simply smiled, as she layed a finger on Teo's nose. A single bright red nail pierced the skin, a drop of blood dripping down the course of his face from the slight scratch. The point seemed to be sharper than a needle, which brought unpleasant images to mind. "Alright then, now I'm just going to have to inject you with something to stop you from dying, and then we're good to go. I'll track him down, give you the tools, and you people can go on to save the entire universe! Won't it be fun? And I'll be helping you the whole time. We'll be the best of friends, I'm sure." Turning around, she gestures, as the large metal entrance opens. Surprisingly, it seemed to now look out over a vast empty chasm, a large gap where previously there had beena hallway. Far below, a faint red glow can be seen, and even up here the hot currents from the lava flows can be felt on the skin. "Now, shall we wait on the large member of our little part? He'll be here in a little bit. In the meantime, of course, I'll have you two prepared and ready to do my dirty work, and maybe teach my little toys some discipline."

Asura looks mia in the eyes. And for the first time in her entire life, she sees in his eyes something that confuses and possibly scares her.

A complete lack of fear

"Funny. I didn't sign up to be one of your little minions." Asura says calmly. His face showing that he knows all too well what mia is capable of, all the pain she could inflict, and how easily she could inflict it. And yet he looks on. Not with fear in his eyes, but rather.......pity.....
