Light The Fire

So Close But Not Yet There

Liz 3rd person
Now that she's moved to a new cell on top of the collar they chained her up to the floor by her ankles so she can walk even though it hurt because the guard was rough with the moving. The chains only got heavier each minute. Everything has still been made fire proof, but it didn't matter she was getting too weak. She was hungry and worried about Junior. They didn't move Junior with her. The only thing she could do is just limp around and stare at the guard. Nothing else just waiting to either die, or get rescued. Just waiting for either one felt like forever. She knew her powers were weak. Between no food and being roughed up, her powers were basically useless. The guard grunts, "so why are you even here? Why do they chain you up like your skag?" Liz looks up, "because they want to use me and I don't exactly like Sarah to start with. She knows I won't break so she's trying to break me... do you know where my skag is?" The guard shrugs, "no. I only watch you. I don't pay attention to anything else." Liz frowns, "I figured. They don't even have to chain me up. The collar is enough for one and for two, my powers are weakening."
Lilith 3rd person
Lilith and the others all got geared up to go to Dahl and meet with Axton. Axton met them at the gate and let's them in. Axton stops them before they walk in, "we have to be discreet. Y'all aren't supposed to be here. I have to sneak Liz in every time she comes." Axton starts to lead them through a back way to the big building. Axton leads them in discretely until Sarah walks down the hall and they all hide. Lilith stays closer and listens. Sarah smiles, "Axton what are you doing in here?" Axton laughs, "just looking around. Also I needed to talk to you." Sarah raises an eyebrow, "about?" Axton hesitates thinking of a lie, "about my current mission. Do you need the explosives for something, or not?" Sarah thinks for a moment, "you know what? I think we could use them. That's a good question. Keep them." Axton smirks, thankful that the lie worked, "okay. That's all I needed. I'm just going to look around and see if anything of this place sparks any memory from the past." Sarah gives a tiny laugh, "okay. You have fun with that. I'm just going to deliver these papers to one of your teammates." Axton stutters, "I-I can take it to them." Sarah grins, "that'll be great. Well I'm off back to my office to do other things." When she turns back to leave Axton sighs, "that was a close one." Lilith smiles, "it sure was." Axton sets the papers in his backpack and continues down the hall to the elevator. Lilith walks in first followed by Axton and the rest. Lilith pushes the button that has a B on it. Most likely for basement.
Liz 3rd person
This was going to be another day of getting weaker by the minute. She was just laying there staring at the guard who was sleeping away at his desk. Liz let's out a quiet sigh thinking to herself, 'I'm not going to try to run and I can't so why did they chain me up?' The guard starts snoring even louder and Liz sighs, turning it into a loud groan. The door opens and Liz expects to see Sarah, but doesn't. As the shadows come closer she sees the outlines and finds out that it's Lilith, the vault hunters, and Axton. Liz gets exited, but still can't move and her hatred towards Axton just grows as he gets closer to the bars. She scowls at Axton and he sighs, "Liz I know I'm not the person you want to see right now, but right now we're saving you." The guard wakes up, "y'all aren't supposed to be here!" Amara sends her siren arms after him and kills him with shock. She gives a tiny chuckle. Axton whips around, "these bars are most likely fire proof and hard to get into." Lilith goes straight to the guard's dead body and checks over it for a key. She finds a card and smiles, "Ah ha! Found it." She puts the card up to the reader and it doesn't open. Amara sighs, "I guess it's not that easy." A voice sounds behind them, "no it's not." They all turn to see Sarah in the door way with Dahl security. Axton lowers his head, "hello Sarah." Sarah pouts, "I would've thought better of you Axton, but thank you for bringing me a siren to add to my collection of powers." Amara smirks, "who says you're taking me?" Sarah points to them with a grin, "get them." Liz tries to undo the chains with her burning rage, but it fails completely because of the fireproof chains. Lilith shoots fire and shock bullets at the incoming enemies. Axton takes out his guns and the vault hunters do the same. They blast the enemies and they all fall. Sarah gulps, but keeps her sarcasm, "Axton you just killed your own team. I'm so disappointed." Axton puts his gun away and pushes her against the wall, "you keep my future wife down here! Chained up like a bad dog! You're lucky I don't kill you." Sarah smiles with a laugh, "do it! You won't because you're her pet." Axton slams her on the wall one more time and let's her fall to the ground. Sarah crawls to put her back against the wall, "in order to get her out you need me. I won't let her out. Not until she breaks." Lilith turns around quickly, "she'll die! She doesn't break." Sarah smirks and presses a button on the side of her pants, "oh she will." They give a confused look and hear Liz cry out in pain as shock waves got sent through her. Axton runs up to the cell, but a huge wave sends him flying back. Sarah stands up and walks over to the guard's desk, "you can't get close." Axton shakes it off and gets up, "I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you, but I don't know why I ever liked you." Sarah laughs, "you know you still do." The heavy pants of Liz takes him over and he turns back to her and gets somewhat closer to the bars. Axton sighs, "I'm going to get you out. I don't know how, but I will." Liz points to Sarah's arm, "the-the chip is in there. Y-you need to hack it. All y-you need is to pan a hacking chip over her arm where the bump is or..." Sarah shocks her again, "enough! No more talking. Y'all can see a way out. Thanks for visiting." Axton saddens and turns to the others, "let's go. Before she kidnaps all of us." They walk out and Sarah walks back over to Liz's cell, "you're going to break. When you do just call. I'll get more guards down here. They are not taking my weapon from me." Liz squints in pain, "I-I'm not breaking. I'm not you're weapon." Sarah shakes her head, "you don't get it. You're friends aren't going to save you and Axton still works for me." Liz grunts, still in pain, "you're not going you make his life hell because of me." Sarah smirks, "You'll see what happens."

Note: another chapter done. They are so close to rescuing her and it will happen just later.
