*HELION*{SEQUEL TO SWITCHBACK!}

*Eight*

Klayton was finally awakened and he was hanging upside down in some kind of holding device...behind prison bars...one of the guards hit him across the back with a club and cynically welcomed him to the XR-87 Prison System...and that this was the end of his line...they had their orders from their king to get answers from him...one way or another he would tell them all they needed to know...Klayton looked directly into the guard's eyes and told him good luck with that...because they could all kiss his ass...he wasn't telling any of them a fucking thing...The guard grabbed him by his hair...and yanked up on him...and told him he was personally going to enjoy this...Klayton gave him a devilish grin and told him to knock himself out.

The guard beat the fuck out of him for several hours...but made sure...he didn't kill him or knock him out...and asked him if he was ready to talk yet...Klayton spat out the blood that he was choking on...then told the guard in a very hostile manner...to go fuck himself. He wasn't telling him shit...just as the guard was getting ready to lay it on his some more...the King came in and told him to hold it...then knelt down by Klayton and asked him why he was accepting all this abuse...when all he needed to do was answer a few tiny questions...and the pain would stop for him. 

Klayton held his head up sideways and looked at him for a moment then began to smile and laugh...as he told him he remembered him...he was that dumb little fucker that didn't know how to get it up or procreate. Then he comically asked him how it was hanging with him...The king looked at him unamused and told him that his arrogance would be the death of him...then he went back to his castle...and told the guard to continue. Klayton hollered at him and told him he better run his cowardly ass back to his castle...then Klayton got very serious and told them all that as soon as he got loose...he was going to kill every fucking one of them.

The guard didn't take his threat at all...and finished beating and torturing him until he was just about dead...then they took their knife and cut him down...as he fell to the ground...they thought he was dead...the guard went to the king and asked him what he wanted to do with him...but when the king saw that he was barely alive...he gave his guard a wicked grin and told him to toss him outside the forcefield just before nightfall...and let the night creatures have their fun with his corpse...beens he won't talk to them...maybe he will have something to say to the monsters from the moon...so the guards tossed Klayton into a holding cell until it got dark...and waited for the right time to toss him outside the city.

Meanwhile, now back in Deltar where Criss, Tron, and his single warrior survivor made it back safely behind the wall...with the 5 air cruisers...3 working and 2 not...they headed to King Tal to tell them the news about Klayton. King Tal raised his glass in honor of Klayton's bravery and loyalty to the Ravagers in his short stay with them...and said his life will be avenged...Criss jumped up and told him that he was going after him...and that he wasn't dead...just captured...then he stormed off to his family...to tell them the bad news...then to get Sully for help in retrieving their friend.

When Criss came to me and told me what happened...I dropped to the floor...and all my strength left me...tears fell from my face...as I looked up at Criss and asked him if he was dead...Criss wrapped me in his arms and kissed my forehead...and told me he was alive...and that he and Sully was going to get him back...and bring him home safely to me...then he gently lifted my chin up so I would look him in his eyes...when he told me not to worry...that we didn't go through all this hell...just to lose his crazy ass now. Sully came in ready to go...then assured me as well that he wasn't going to come back without him...Criss and Sully went out the doors...and headed to the air cruisers that still worked and jumped on to head out for Helion.

King Tal came out and told them not too...because if they did, they wouldn't be allowed to come back...because he couldn't risk the Helionites following them back to their secret location...because if they ever did find it...the Helionites would wipe them all out with their high powered electronic weapons. Criss and Sully both looked right at the king...and told him that they weren't leaving Klayton to them...for them to torture him to death...that he was their brother...and he had a wife that was pregnant...that needed him...then Criss added that he needed him too.

Tron walked over to Criss and Sully...and told them that he had an idea that wouldn't result in total disaster...and would be safe at the same time...but they had to do it tomorrow...because it was too close to nightfall to do it this evening...then Tron asked them both to just wait until morning...and he would go with them to help...Criss and his Greek stubbornness didn't like waiting...he wanted to go right now...but Sully told him that Tron was right...and that they would have a better chance if they waited...Criss jumped off the vehicle and stormed off back to his room...and hollered back at them if making him wait until tomorrow got his brother killed...he would have no mercy on any of them...then he went into his room to be with his wife and son.

Tron looked at Sully and asked him if Criss was always that wild...Sully chuckled at him and said he had no idea how wild Criss could get...especially if anything ever happened to his blood brother...because Klayton was the only one that could keep Criss under control. Tron looked at him again inquisitively and said why...Sully stared directly into Tron's eyes and told him because everyone else was afraid of Criss's crazy ass...Klayton was the only one that wasn't intimidated by him...and could totally kick his ass when he needed to...Sully tapped Tron on his shoulder a few times and told him to pray that nothing bad happened to Klayton while they were all waiting for morning...then he ran up to his room to be with his wife and newborn baby girl, Skylar...while I sat in the window all night long holding my hand over my heart praying that my sexy Klayboy bunny came back to me safely.
