Something is Wrong with the Coruscant Guard

Chapter 3

Trigger Warning
Implied/Reference Rape-Noncon

Fox felt himself coming back to consciousness and was preparing for nothing but coldness and pain. To be honest, he wasn't even expecting to wake up in the first place but apparently he had somehow survived. It really must be hard to kill a fox as they say. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly when he realised there wasn't any pain and for some reason he wasn't cold either. There was a warmth wrapped around him, a comforting, safe warmth. It was something familiar but also not at the same time, like a distant memory. He was probably still dreaming, or maybe he had died and had somehow ended up in heaven but that wouldn't make sense after everything he's done.

Despite his confusion, it was the safest he's felt in what feels like years and he didn't want it to go away so he shifted into the warmth. Something tightened around him, squeezing him gently and he let out a breath.

"Take all the time you need Fox'ika." Huh, that sounds familiar as well. Maybe he really did die, because that sounds too familiar. But it's a nice dream so he's going to enjoy it while it's still there. He recognises the voice, he missed hearing that voice.

"Ni kar'tayli gar darasuum," he mumbled and his warmth tensed up.

"Ni kar'tayli gar darasuum Fox'ika." Fox hummed and turned into the warmth again. It was so nice, but what is it. He gathered up his energy and slowly peeled his eyes open.

"Helix, he's waking up." Within seconds there was movement by his side and Fox tilted his head to see Helix watching him worriedly. Huh, so maybe not a dream. What's going on?

"Welcome to the land of the living Commander, we lost you there a few times," Helix said quietly.

"What happened," Fox asked quietly. His memory was a bit fuzzy but he remembered the pain.

"You got a summoning from the Chancellor. We um, we didn't realise why he wanted to talk to you though. We just figured it was to gloat about you killing Fives because he made you," Helix said with a sigh. Killing Fi-. Fox shot up quickly.

"Helix. Helix, he's still alive, Fives is alive. I didn't kill him, he survived," he said with a gasp.

"I know, we heard. Thorn and Thire went looking for you as soon as we found out. They found you collapsed not far from here. You tried to get back like you usually do but you were far too injured this time. Your heart had stopped by the time they got you here.

"Thorn and Thire found me," Fox asked with a groan. Thorn is tough, he's used to finding Fox in unflattering situations. There's been many times he's had to patch him up, even Stone has but they've all done their best to keep Thire out of it. Thire is more, young and innocent compared to the rest of the Guard Commanders. He's not a shiny but to them he's their little Command shiny.

"Yeah. Thire um, he didn't take it very well. He passed out and then started panicking again so I had to sedate him. Don't stress about him right now though, Thorn is with him, keeping him company," Helix said quickly as he noticed Fox move to get up. Good, that's good.

"Can you remember what happened," Helix asked.

"The usual but he was more angry this time. I don't know how it happened but I somehow managed to defy an order he gave me, I don't think that's ever happened before. He wanted Fives dead, that's for sure. I um, I wasn't really prepared for it because I didn't realise," Fox said with a sigh.

"Was it the red guard again," Helix asked and Fox shivered instinctively. He's safe here with the guard, he doesn't need to hold back his emotions.

"Yeah, seven this time. I managed to hold my own for a few minutes but they have electro staffs and I don't. I can't remember everything but I'm pretty sure he made me take off my armour so they could whip me. Said I needed to learn my lesson for failing to execute his orders," Fox said with a scoff. There was a gasp and Fox spun around in confusion, only just realising there was in fact someone on the bed with him and that wasn't just his imagination. He was expecting it to be Stone but his eyes widened in shock at who he saw. Cody told him he needed to stay away, that he was dar'vod and he was removed from the group chat. He was already breaking that agreement.
