Eight: Season 4

Episode 96: Storm

  Xia-
  "The bomb is done Barbra." I said.
  "Really?" She asked.
  "Yeah." I said, pale, sick, and weakly.
  "Excellent, well...as promised. I dropped your friends off somewhere safe. They're alive and well, none of us will pursue them." Barbra said.
  I exhaled in relief, and then Barbra and a team of people in hazmat suits walked in. They moved the bomb and Barbra walked to me. "You're mine now, peasant!" Barbra said, as she gripped my cheeks.
  "Nnnggg!" I exclaimed, looking away.
  "You're coming with me, little whore." Barbra said.
  I jerked away, but she electrocuted me. I yelled out in pain.
  She cuffed my hands in front of me, shackled my ankles and bare feet, and then she put a collar around my neck. She added a leash and dragged me behind her.
  "AGH!" I cried out, as we walked to the airship.
  The hazmat team placed the bomb on board while Barbra dragged me onto the airship, and tied me to the pole. "You're gonna watch your handy work." Barbra said.
  I teared up and huffed at her as we headed for Arcadia.

  Shoto-
  I woke up and I was clutching onto Jade for dear life. "What!?" I asked, touching my cheek.
  "It's ok." Jade said, and I relaxed at her touch.
  She explained to me what happened, and then I showered and changed as the two of us walked out together. "That was the best sleep I've had in a while, thanks Jade." I said.
  Jade closed her eyes and smiled. "Sure." She said.
  I smiled as we walked out to Arcadia...it was so close to being rebuilt.
  We headed to the tower to discuss things with the other leaders, but as we got closer, a shadow cast from above. We all looked up. "An airship?" Jade asked.
  I shrugged, and then...without a warning of any kind, the hatch opened and a bomb was dropped.
  "EVERYONE TAKE COVER!!!" I yelled, and I shoved Jade down as the bomb hit the ground and blew up.

  Xia-
  "NO!" I yelled, as the bomb hit the ground and went off, exploding the entirety of Arcadia, burying everyone in rubble...including the other clans.
  "Bring me the Jareau family, all 7 of them, dead or alive." Barbra said.
  "Yes ma'am!" They shouted, bowing to her and deploying in their hazmat suits.
  "Don't move a muscle Jade." I thought, as I secretly and quietly tried to escape the bind to the pole.
  "Let's head back to the new base." Barbra said, and the airship left with the hazmat team staying behind and we flew to a new base.
  She dragged me all the way down to the deepest, darkest parts of the place and chained me to the wall in a room that she flooded with radiation and heat to keep me from escaping, but keeping me alive.

  Jade-
  I coughed, my ears ringing and senses blurred. I groaned in pain as my hand shook and I covered the deep gouge on my left thigh. "Agh! Agh!" I cried in pain. I was pinned under beams and rubble and it was hard to breathe.
  There was light and then I saw men in yellow suits. I gasped, trying to scramble to hide or move, but they grabbed me and dragged me to the middle of what used to be Arcadia. They cuffed my wrists and ankles and placed an electroshock collar around my neck.
  I was seeing all of the mangled, motionless, and non-breathing bodies and then I saw all of their bodies: Shoto, Hanta, Yo, Kiri, Bakugo, Tetsu, and Midoriya.
  Then, I see the other clan heads and their people: Gray, Tianzo, Tilcax, Aspen, Felix, Archer, Pherrah, and Cassidy.
  "No..." I whispered, my lips quivering.
  "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed, my voice cracking as I started bawling, curling over my knees.
  They were dead...everyone that was here...was dead.
  "Jade..." Seth began, and I looked up at him.
  "We're ok." Elarza said.
  "Barely." Zeke said.
  "It's gone, all gone. Arcadia is..." Lapis began, staring horrified at the mangled bodies that littered the ground.
  They were all four hand cuffed like me, but had no collars on. I shuttered and smiled at them, I wanted to hug them and melt into them but I couldn't.
  "Kids!" Mom and dad shouted, both hand cuffed at their ankles and wrists.
  "Mistress, we have them all." A man said.
  "Good...bring them to me." Barbra said.
  "Yes ma'am." The man said, and they lifted the 7 of us into a transport truck from like the military or something and drove us away from the rubble, wreckage, and all of our dead friends and allies.
  Everyone on Kueria...was dead now. I cried to them, mourning for them and my family tried to comfort me then best they could being cuffed and all.
  We arrived to a heavily guarded army-like base in the middle of The Anubis Desert. They dragged us in and put us in the middle of the yard. Barbra walked out, and smiled. "Take care of their wounds...but this one comes with me." Barbra said, looking at me.
  "NO!" Mom shouted, as they tried to fight but all got electrocuted.
  "NO! NO! NO, STOP IT!" I begged, and they all panted as they caught their breath.
  Barbra violently gripped my cheeks and lifted my head towards her. "Take them to get taken care of." Barbra said, and my family was dragged away.
  My breath quickened as she gripped my cheeks tighter and smiled darkly. She lifted me up but I kicked and flailed. "No! No! Leg go of me! Let go of me!" I yelled, but she grabbed a needle and pushed it into my neck.
  "Ggg!" I grunted, and then just like that...I was paralyzed and fully conscious...it's the Onyx.
  She dragged my limp, barefooted self to the lab after she reactivated the curse mark on my neck from The Ark. "You're going to be mine, whether you like it or not." She said.
  "Nnnggg..." I groaned, weakly.
  She strapped me to a lab table with restraints at my ankles, waist, wrists, under and above my breasts, and neck. "No! No!" I yelled.
  "Unlike your little counterpart, you are going to feel every little thing I do to you." Barbra said, as she grabbed a scalpel and cut open my chest and I gasped as she grabbed a needle filled with some sort of teal-green liquid and injected it directly into my Aorta.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" I screamed out, my eyes shrinking.
