SUPREMEO Vol.I: Trials Of The Machine King

Chapter XIV pt.5 (arc2): King Of Cauchemar - The Reunion

Amaro sits in his cell fuming at the news he heard previously. His eyes dart to every member in the cell. He repeats the words, "liar, backstabber, coward" over and over in his head. Until a cellmate approaches Amaro and interrupts his thoughts.

Timidly he gets Amaro's attention.

"Umm hey, Amaro? Saw your fight man. Wow that kid is really somethin huh?"

As the prisoner keeps talking Amaro's wounds begin to heal just as Adira said.

The thoughts of betrayal and distrust still echo in Amaro's head while the prisoner still talks to him about his fight with Yafeu.

Then as if the moment of clarity snuck up behind Amaro's thoughts. A voice in his head tells him how to end the echoing thoughts of betrayal. It tells him,

"Kill them all!"

Amaro listens to the voice and viciously rips out the throat of the inmate next to him. He drops to the floor getting the attention of the others near Amaro.

With his fist dripping of blood Amaro looks to the inmates and tells them, "Cowards! All of you!" Then charges toward them.

An inmate who Amaro spared would later describe the event as if they were, "Trapped in a lion's den."

Sigmond's Laboratory (Not too far from the prisoner's cells)

Yafeu is strapped to a table while Sigmond walks him through what he will feel once he gets the injection.

Sigmond: Don't worry about the harness Yafeu. That's to ensure the virus will work to its full potential. With the injection, people tend to claw out the spot where the shot is made. If they can't reach it then people have bitten themselves in hopes of relieving the pain. Reports of people breaking their own limbs or cutting them off have happened to. Some of my workers have called it a form of temporary insanity when they start to feel the virus's pain. Because it will literally drive them to insanity just to relieve the hurt they feel under their bones.

Yafeu replies with a blank expression, "Thanks for the warning. So when are we gonna start this doc?"

The throne room.

With tears running down her face Bast stands before Adira. The empress backhands her so hard she falls to the ground dropping her helmet.

"HOW DARE YOU!?" Yells the empress.

She continues to say, "I give you a great life and this is how you treat me!? Everything you have is because of me! Everything you know is because of me!"

Still on the ground Bast slowly gets up wiping the sting of the slap from the empress away. She picks her helmet up and throws it towards her screaming, "You selfish narcissistic witch! How would you expect me to just sit and continue to watch the torture and killings of other human beings! Everything I have is because of you!? What do I have!? I don't even know who my parents are!?"

The Empress walks towards Bast reaches out for her chin and positions her eyes to meet with hers.

The empress smiles at her with compassion as if she was a mother sorry for striking her child.

Sigmond's Laboratory.

Sigmond brings in a few assistant droids to help him with Yafeu's procedure. He tells Yafeu, "You like these guys? They're my assistants. They're not as advanced as Elias's or Julius's machines but they get the job done."

Yafeu replies saying, "That's what I've been waiting for. The job done part."

Sigmond Replies with a smile, "Alright then let's go."
