After getting off the arena and signing some autographs, I've dragged my ass towards the VIP room where the old man was supposed to wait with the big boss. The whole way up was awfully long and I probably wouldn't be able to make it there without the lift. What? I was tired and months in space don't exactly make your cardio any better!

Still, I've somehow managed to get to the right room. With 4 bodyguards standing in front, I've made my way in to payoff the debt and get my own share. I've felt that something was off as soon as I've opened the doors...

The room was large. It had your typical nice view on the arena along with some fancy furniture's that were totally not matching the scrappy looking rest of the crashed ship in which the arena was located. With 6 more guards inside, the slime guy was sitting in his chair and smoking cigar. Don't ask me how it works, I was able to see the bubbles moving through his green body and disappearing along the way.

With my prize in cash just waiting for me to take it, I've looked around the room and still couldn't see gramps anywhere. The guards brought him in, all tied up and beaten with his hands tied up behind his back. That got me pissed and I was about to royally kick their ass when I've realised something that froze my blood. Old man had Jake with him while I was fighting.

After grabbing one of the guards by their throat and taking him hostage, I've demanded answers. Garou, the slime, proceeded to explain how I've just killed all of his best gladiators and was severely understaffed. I've obviously said that it's his problem and I want my Jake back. Fucker suddenly pulled out the cage with my human inside, also all tied up as if being blind was not enough to keep him from escaping.

The new deal was simple. I stay and fight for Garou as the new champion of the arena and nobody gets hurt. I would get pain handsomely and the old man will be forgiven all his debt, which I was about to settle by the way. After asking what if I refuse, all guards suddenly pointed their guns at me. Big mistake.

Flipping the massive table with cash onto two guards and diving behind them, I've grabbed their pistols and started blasting. All hell broke loose as the room began getting filled with plasma rounds and sound of pistols firing right at me. With one arm busted and tired after the fight, I've honestly didn't had much steam in me and had to gun them down one by one. Years of real combat training are always paying off in situations like this.

After gunning down old man's guards and dragging him to safety, I've handed him one gun and told to watch my back. Soon enough, 2 guys that came through the front doors were lying dead once the angry mechanic shoot the entire magazine into them.

The guards had more backup coming though and as soon as one fell, another one took his place. What's worse was that the big boss was trying to evacuate with Jake's cage in hands! Obviously not going to let that slide so I've grabbed one of the dead guards and used their body as a meat shield while charging at the rest. Guns blazing, I've quickly shoot all rounds and tossed the gun away. With combat knives in hands, the real bloodbath began. I'm honestly not sure how many I've slaughterd while making my way out of the room but I know that I've got shot 4 times so there's that. Luckily, all they hit were my arms so nothing that bad.

Anyways, once I was out of the room, I've noticed the firing squad of 10 new guards already waiting for me at the other end of the long corridor. Behind them, was the big boss and Jake. I couldn't just run in there and take the bullets head on. I'm tough but not that tough. What's worse is that Garou began to threaten that he will kill Jake if I don't give up and surrender my weapons. I... I didn't wanted to risk it.

Tossing my knives onto the floor and kicking away all the guns that were laying around me, I've got on my knees with my still working arms in the air. They all made their way up towards me and tied up my hands. Once I was completely at their mercy, Garou proceeded to mock me and told me how I should've just came along from the start. I've just listened to his monologue for a good moment while the other guards went to grab the old man again. It was honestly humiliating, having to listen to some nobody that thinks he is hot shit. Still, I've kept my calm until he opened Jake's cage and took him out. All constraint and tied up, Jake kept calling my name and squirming inbetween Garou's fingers as the slime began to slowly suck him into his hand...

He told me that it was all my fault that he has to do this. He wanted to kill my pet to show me what happens when you dont take on his offers. I've begged him to stop, Jake would suffocate if he wouldn't! But he wouldn't listen... I've began to struggle, trying to break myself free but the ropes were strong and all I could do was watch Jake slowly sink into the slime. Once his head was about to disappear underneath the surface, he called my name for the last time before completely submerging in the green liquid. I've watched as he kicked and tossed around, fighting for air for a little bit longer. Then, all of the sudden, he stopped moving and the time  stopped.

After that, I don't remember anything. I've suddenly woke up in corridor full of bodies that were ripped apart. Some more than other but I could tell that those were Garou's men. As for the slime, he was also splashed all over the walls like some sort of goo. Looking down into my hand, I've found Jake, all drenched in slime and properly passed out but still breathing right in the middle of my hand.

I've thanked the stars before stepping through the bloodbath that the corridor had apparently turned into, before making my leave. I've found gramps all tied up in the corner of the main room. He was clearly terrified once he saw me approach him but calmed down once I've asked if he was okay. He didn't wanted to tell me what happened or why was he so scared when he saw me. Probably has to do something with all the blood that I've been covered with at that time but who knows.

With money in hands and Jake secured, I've made my way towards the brothel in which we were staying last night. Gramps said that they would take care of us there and they did just that. It really is a good thing that we've took the money from the arena because it covered all our expenses there for the next few days. Best doctors were patching me up and treating during the day while boys and girls were keeping us company in bed at night. Obviously, I didn't let Jake get away from me even for a minute throughout the entire time. All that was able to keep me distracted from thinking about what happened back then when I've blacked out for a moment and woke up when the fight was done. I've never experienced anything like that and am not sure if I wanna ever do that again. Seeing Jake in danger was just too much for me to handle. I think I've started to like him a bit too much...
