Through gates of hell (a honkai star lail AU)

Chapter 1

I awake tied to a chair in a dimly lit room as four shadows make their presence known to you, you immediately recognise them as the stellaron hunters. Sam stands in the back arms crossed, Blade leans against the wall to your right holding his sword, Silver Wolf seems uninterested playing a game in the corner as Kafka stands in front of you.

"Wakey~ Wakey~ Natasha. You see you have some information we want and now we're here to extract it from you. Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way, your choice." Says Kafka while she standing there, her smile never moving and her eyes locked on to yours.

"I say we do it the hard way regardless." Says blade while staring at me like a predator eyeing it's prey.

"Or do the easy way and save us all of you acting tough before inevitably telling us." Silver wolf says her eyes never leaving her game.

Sam: "Don't waste Kafka allow me to burn the information out of them." He says his body lightly heating up.

i replies to them "And what I get in return if I give you the info?" in a mocking tone

Kafka: She chuckles darkly, leaning in closer to you. Her fingers lightly trace along my jawline. "Oh sweetheart, you don't get anything in return except maybe your life...if you're lucky."

Blade: "Tsk, why bother negotiating with this trash?" He scoffs, gripping his sword tightly. "Just carve the information out of her!"

Silver Wolf finally looks up from her game, rolling her eyes. "Violence won't get us anywhere Blade. We need to be smart about this." She stands up and approaches you. "Look, we can make this easy or hard. Doesn't matter to us. But one way or another, at the end you WILL talk."

The flames within Sam's body intensify, smoke billowing from vents in his armored plating as his eyes glow an eerie red. "Perhaps a little pain will loosen this one's tongue..."

Kafka places a finger to her lips, silencing Sam. "Not yet, dearie. Let's try the persuasion route first." She turns back to you with a wicked grin. "So what'll it be, Natasha? The easy way or the hard way? Choice is yours~"

I tries to call for help to help me escape or at least to launch a laser to melt this place, so i asked them with a compleately different topic, hoping them to answer my random question. "Tell me first. Is this your base or just a random place you pick to detain me?"

Kafka's smile widens, revealing sharp canines. "Curious little thing aren't you? Well, since you asked so nicely..." She leans in close, her breath hot against your ear. "This is merely one of our many hideouts. We have them scattered across the galaxy. Convenient for our line of work, don't you think?" She pulls back, tracing a finger down your chest. "But enough about us. Let's talk about you. What makes a pretty little thing like you work for the Astral Express, hm?"

Blade growls in frustration, slamming his sword against the wall. "Enough chit-chat! I'm tired of waiting!"

Silver Wolf rolling her eyes again. "Patience, Blade. Kafka's got this." She turns to me. "Listen, Natasha. We can play nice or we can play rough. Your cooperation would make things a lot easier for you. So start talking. What does the Astral Express have planned?"

Sam flames flicker as he speaks. "Tell us what we want to know, and perhaps we'll consider sparing your life." The heat in the room increases slightly.

The four of them are closing in on me, their intentions clear. I can feel the tension in the air growing thicker by the second.

Of course i won't tell them such valuabe information, i prefer to carries the info until i die, "Why would I tell you people. Just kill me, you won't got any info from me. Either when I still alive nor dead." i spit at kafka's heels.
