The Shadow Knight Returns

Chapter 4: Rebecca and the Knight

South Side Lunar, ArcView Park: October 7th, 2063: 10:20 PM

Rebecca Adler found the locked door that contained Bone Breakers harem sure enough, down in the basement area of the ruined building.

She could hear the cries of help coming from behind that barred door.

She quickly lifted the metal bar that was barring the door and threw the doors open.

She saw through the now open doorway that there was at least thirteen women ranging from 15 to her age in there, beaten, battered....and whimpering.

They must have thought that the person opening the door was Bone Breaker or one of his men coming in to punish them for calling out for help again, because once they saw that it was just her that had opened the door they made a beeline towards her for the exit.

Rebecca Alder had to pin herself flat against the wall of the stairwell to avoid being trampled by the stampede of now free slave girls, that she had almost been turned into.

Once the last harem girl had left, without even saying "Thank You", Rebecca couldn't help but reflect on her having rescued a bunch of innocent women from enduring the fate that had been handed out to her when she was 13 years old.

"Now why couldn't someone have done that for me a long time ago?" she mused sadly.

She was about to make a break for it when suddenly, from out of the shadows of the darkened Harem cell room behind her, two tentacles made out of animated darkness grabbed her around her waist and gagged her.

They then turned around to face the darkened doorway of the now empty harem, where two glowing red eyes could be seen in the darkness staring right at her.

From out of the darkness, the same demon she had seen assault Bone Breaker emerged.

"You?" he said in surprise.

Rebecca Adler in her bound and gagged state did a double take upon hearing this metahuman speak to her in a tone that indicated that he had seen her before, that they had met once before.

"How very interesting...." The Shadow Knight said, "I have need of your services. Not the kind that involve your body parts mind you...but it does require you're physical services none the less. I pumped all the information I could from both Bone Breaker and your pimp boss...before I castrated him and sent him out to deliver a message...and sent Bone Breaker to meet his maker. But I'm not aware of where to find the rest of the five, and how this city now works since I was here last to successfully pull off my revenge. But you live here, you can tell me where they live. Now...where do I find out where the rest of the sadistic five are at in this city?"

Shadow Knight then retracted the shadow gag around the bound around Rebecca's mouth to allow her to speak.

"And why should I help you out Metahuman!?" she spat in contempt.

She was terrified, but her contempt towards Metahumans overrode that fear she felt towards this metahuman who had her in his power.

"Because you owe me" Shadow Knight answered promptly, "If I hadn't intervened, that bastard would have fucked you in the ass and then killed you. Trust me on that when I say that, I have the ability to see a person's memory once I touch them."

"Then touch me and take the information you want, I won't help you" Rebecca Adler snapped.

"Oh yes you will..." Shadow Knight said angrily, and suddenly his eyes began to flash.

Rebecca Adler soon found herself captivated by the flashing eyes of Shadow Knight as he hypnotized her with his hypnotic stare ability.

"You will help me, and once you have helped me out I will set you free from my power. Not before. When I snap my fingers, you will be conscious again, but you will follow my command to help me find the rest of the Sadistic Five. Even if you don't want to, you will do what you have been commanded to do. Understand?"
