The ghosts, just like Walker, easily phased into my cell, if I could even call where I'm in that. Ready to poke me with those electrical batons, tazing me. I quickly looked around my surroundings, to find a way of escape before it even got to that point.

But my first impression of an inescapable cell didn't diminish as it was really walls and a glass screen with no windows and doors. Although... the glass screen. With enough force, I could crash into it, breaking it and escape even though it would undoubtedly leave me bleeding in pain. It would still be worth it... if I can escape.

But there might be the downside that the glass might as well be reinforced and attempting the charge will be moot, just banging into it leaving unnecessary bruises so my first impression of this cell is really sticking to it. But if I can't escape yet, I might as well find a way to defend myself, maybe with anything on my person.

With the eyes on me, watching my every movement, or to savor the moment I scream, I quickly noted my sword was no longer with me or any other weapon useful for this situation, meaning they have confiscated them leaving me powerless.

Of course I tried to use my demigod powers, such as my control over shadows and skeleton summoning but that was a no go. Now that I look at it, it was obvious why it wouldn't work.

In this prison, why would there be any bones? And I have finally noticed... even in this eerie green light of the Ghost Zone, no shadows could be seen. 

And now I think about it, would it be obvious that I couldn't shadow travel back then because were there even any shadows to travel through while Dracula was flying through that green vast space. Isn't that what he meant when he said too bad I couldn't shadow travel in a place like this.

I also can't use any of my powers in that case. Every power has it's own weakness, either because another power is strong over it or there are some effects throughout that can nullify said power. In my case, it's obviously the latter, for reasons I don't know, but long story short, without weapons nor powers, I have been rendered powerless.

"Uh-!" I shouted as the first shock was given while I was momentarily lost in thought for too long. The second shock came quickly but I managed to dodge that. This time, I put half my mind into thinking a way out of here and another half dodging but with two against one, there were more hits than less.

I was able to bite back screams from the shocks that came, to avoid giving any pleasure to the captors that very much want to hear my pain which is the cherry on top of every torture available.

Walker was smiling contentedly despite me not giving what he wanted as of yet, but that was because...

"Strong as expected," Walker commented, "But it's time to take it to the next level."

With that, once again, he snapped his fingers and the guards moved in perfect coordination. But I do not want the next level, whatever that was. I do not have to endure all this, waiting for a rescue that will happen but could take a long time to come. In this scenario, it was best that I do something myself.

In that moment, that one guard left to probably get more torture tools out for this while another one going to continue the tazing as Walker, unfazed, watches on as well as to make sure I don't do anything underhanded.

But the moment only one guard has to taze me was the moment Walker gave me an advantage as it was much easier to overpower one than two and where I can take this one chance with lower possibility of messing up.

As soon as the guard made to taze me once again, I dodged more swiftly and kicked the baton out of his grasp and took it for myself, immediately tazing him unconscious. But of course that takes time with the ongoing surge of shock which prompted Walker to act and take out a gun, to shoot some paralyzing dart or anything else to subdue me.
