"I won't do it."

"...Pardon?-"

"I will not do it."

"..."

"I refuse."

It was silent.

Elemental Steve's golden eyes glowed with pure rage.

"Nightmare," the man spat out, saying the name as if it were a disease, not worthy of being on his tongue. "If you do not do as I say and absorb those steves..." The air charged with electricity, and those eyes bore into the other, the left twitching in anger.

Nightmare tried his best to hold his ground, to finally put down that long-needed boundary, say that no, he would not take any innocent lives simply because his master wanted it. But he could feel the fear rise in him, every instinct within him saying that he should not anger the man, and he felt himself slipping.

"... then I will rip you limb from limb, drag your pathetic ass through the mud, and make you."

Nightmare prayed that this was nothing but an empty threat. Elemental wouldn't actually hurt him like that...

Right....?

He should've known better. But by the time he realized that, it was too late.

-

Bloodcurdling screams pierced through the usual silence of the In-Between.

The golden man was battered with lightning, the electricity sending shocks throughout his body, making the steve's muscles spasm uncontrollably as he lay in a curled up ball on the bloody quartz floor. Nasty burns and bright purple bruises littered his form, tainting his usual dark complexion.

His right arm and left leg lay across the room in a heap, deep red blood pouring from the space where they were ripped off with bare hands, and pooling beneath the flesh.

Nightmare Steve could do nothing but sob and beg in between choked out, interrupted gasps for air that was not given. Large tears flowed like waterfalls down his raw cheeks, bruised and stained red from the tears.

"PLEASE- st- st- STO-" More strikes of lightning rained down. "Hh- PLEASE!!!" No mercy was given.

Eventually, the bolts came to a sudden halt. Nightmare gasped and breathed deeply, shuddering and thankful that it's over.

Elemental stepped down from the short stairs in front of one of the portals where he'd been standing, silently watching the torture play out. The being walked over to the trembling steve on the ground, the latter still clutching the stump where his arm was not long ago. The gold eyed man stared in disgust at the broken form, then pulled his foot back and kicked him harshly. The whimpering man cried out from the sharp metal that tipped the point of the other's dirt colored boots.

The watcher of space grabbed a fistful of messed up yellow and black hair, which was stained and crusty with dried blood, yanked him up, and slammed him face-first into the ground. Nightmare barely had time to even whimper before his nose made impact with the quartz.
