Kidnapped (continuation)

This is a continuation of Itz_Larissa 's oneshot Kidnapped, so you will need to go check that out first before coming here. It's going to be a bit all over the place, since I literally have such a bad memory I have a notes thing pulled up on my phone while writing this so I can remember who is with who.

Grian P.O.V.

Our luck seemed to be soaring as Scar walked away, having not noticed the absence of Stress. However, it wasn't long before that luck fell right back down to Earth when Bdubs came to get more people to be moved to their cells.

"Okay, Doc, Ren, your turn." It wasn't until he opened the door he noticed the suspicious absence. "Hey! where is Stress?" Then he raised his voice to alert Scar of the situation. " Scar, we have an escapee! Stress has escaped! "

Suddenly an alarm sounded, the constant ringing of a bell that seemingly reverberated through the building itself, infiltrating every unoccupied space in the dank dungeons.

It consumed my thoughts, drowning out every same thing in my mind and replacing it with the unbearable ringing. It was unimaginably loud, flooding through my mind.

I curled up where I was, unable to take it, closing my eyes and covering my ears with my hands. It was a while before the alarm stopped, and when it did and I looked back up Doc and Ren were gone. I guessed they had been taken to their own cell.

I waited, and it couldn't have been five minutes before Bdubs was back in front of me. "Since Stress isn't here, you're going to stay in your own cell until we find her."

After he was done talking, he grabbed my arm roughly and dragged me along to my own cell. It was dingy and covered in cobwebs, one cot in each back corner. Bdubs threw me in and shut the bars.

"Now, these bars are going to be electrified, so I'd advise you not to touch them unless you want to get shocked." I could hear the voices of my fellow resistance members, but couldn't make out their words. It was heartbreaking, especially since I could here the worry in their voice.

Stress P.O.V.

I was on my hand and knees, crawling through a ventilation shaft that would lead to Mumbo's ODEA shop. I knew of the layout from when False went over blueprints with me, at the beginning of this war.

Later we weren't able to hang out because Scar had started taking the war way to seriously, and would have punished False if he found out she had been hanging out with Stress.

Grian had always seem the war as a joke, even when Scar never seemed to be joking. It wasn't Grian's fault, it was just in the poor guy's nature to have fun and cause mischief, and Scar took it too far and too seriously.

I was about halfway when I heard the alarm going off. For I moment I had to just sit there with my hands over my ears, trying to block out the sound.

It was a few minutes until it was over and I could continue, and I hastened my pace since I had been found to be missing, and it wasn't much longer before I was in Mumbo's unsuccessful shop.

To be safe, I mined a hole in the floor and swam away instead of flying away through the doors. Luckily, False's base wasn't far from the shopping district, and I wasn't swimming for long before I got there and flew up into the main area.

You whisper to False: Come meet me near your storage, it's urgent. It wasn't two minutes later that I heard rockets and False had landed next to me. The very first thing I noticed was that her eyes were the same diamond blue as Bdubs, a couple shades away from their norm.

"False, why are your eyes different?" I asked. " Oh, don't worry about it, " she dismissed. I frowned at her harsh tone, since it wasn't something I had ever heard from her before. "So, what did you need me for?"

"You wouldn't believe what Scar's done this time. He's had Bdubs trap our enderporters for the emergency meeting and they sent us to a cell, and now all of the resistance members were in prison. And while we were all in one cell, Scar insinuated there would be possible torture and murder involved! Anne I think Scar is controlling Bdubs somehow."

Her expression scared me. I had quickened toward the end, and throughout the entire thing her expression was just a slowly increasing smile. "I know," she squealed happily. "Isn't it great. He's going to crush the resistance once and for all."

I stared at her incredulously before realization slowly dawned. "He's got you under his control too, doesn't he." She nodded and I began pacing, thinking, figuring things out. "I'll be you he has all of HEP under his control, which is why X isn't putting a stop to this."

"You've got it! But now, you know too much. I can't let you live." And she charged at me with her sword. Off instinct I pulled out my sword that I had picked up from the chest the hopper led to and blocked her, shoving her back and knocking her off balance for a second.

Luckily I had stopped by my potions shop before the emergency meeting was called, and since I had gotten my stuff Scar had attempted to nab as I was leaving, I had a few harming and poison potions.

"I'm sorry about this False, but it has to be done," and I dropped on her two harming II potions and a poison potion to leave her debilitated, in pain, and on half a heart. Then I flew off to my base. This was a much bigger problem than I had first anticipated.

It took a couple of minutes before I was the bedroom of my skull, thinking of a plan.

That's it for this one. Don't worry, there will be a part two that I'm starting right after this one, but I needed to break these up so I didn't have one three thousand words one shot on top of what Itz_Larissa had already done.
