Bringing Out The Good Side

Chapter Three - Interrogation

After dealing with a rather tough prisoner, Ronan was sitting on his throne, thinking of what to do with Mackenzie.

An idea prompted Ronan to fetch his trusted partner. "KORATH!" Ronan bellowed which had went throughout the entire ship. In a second, Korath came running to him. As a faithful servant to his master, he respectfully asked, Yes, my lord?

Korath lowered his head as he awaited a response to his question. Ronan sat up and said, "Fetch the girl, please."
Korath was rather surprised by the request that Ronan had asked of him so he began to protest, But, my lord she is a priso-"
Ronan didn't want to hear it so he sharply said, "Just fetch the girl for me, Korath."
Korath nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." The dark skinned man quickly left afterwards to fetch Mackenzie for his master.

Meanwhile in the dungeons, Mackenzie was constantly getting slapped around by the guards as she continued to be smart towards them. A guard slapped her hard that left a mark on her check but that didn't faze Mackenzie. "Really?! What's that really necessary you dumb idiot!" She shouted while the guard continued to slap her. The guards suddenly stopped when Korath entered the room.

"Leave." Korath said to the guards before they left the room. Mackenzie was panting with exhaustion of being smart to her captors.

"Miss, Lord Ronan is requesting your presence." Korath said menacingly. Mackenzie shot up from the ground but Korath puts his hand on her. "Don't touch me you idiot!" Mackenzie yelled and it made him furious. He slapped her across Mackenzie's already reddened face, he shouted at her. "Do not speak to me like that!"
Korath grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to the throne room.

Being the servant as he always is, Korath calmly said to Ronan who was sitting in his throne,
"My lord, I have the girl here for you"
Korath said as he tightened his hold on Mackenzie while he awaits Ronan's orders.
Mackenzie, on the other hand, got impatient and began to claw at her captor's hand. "Get off me!" Mackenzie roughly answered but continued to struggle as she was being held by Korath.
Ronan shouted in native language that prompted Korath and the surrounding guards to leave the throne room. Mackenzie did not have a clue what he was saying to the people.

"What is your name, mortal?" said Ronan deeply as he sat upon the throne with the Universal Weapon in his left hand. Mackenzie cleared her throat and straightened herself up. "Why would you like to know my name, huh?" She said bitterly with a frown on her face.

Ronan sighed. "I am disappointed that the dungeons failed to improve your attitude so I am and I will kill you no-" Ronan began to announce but was rudely interrupted by Mackenzie. "The name is Mackenzie and I just happen to fall into a hole. I fell on to your Jenga of a ship where i am being held captive by a blue person." Mackenzie said sarcastically.

What the young woman had said, angered Ronan that he got up, walked to her and repeatedly slapped her in the face until she was blue and black in the face. "DO NOT INSULT THE LEADER OF THE KREE!" He roared which rippled throughout the ship which startled everyone on the ship.

Mackenzie gets up and challenges her captor. "Hit me more!" she said in anticipation if Ronan hits back. As Ronan began to walk away but he turned around after hearing what Mackenzie just said."What did you say?!" Ronan roared while he grabbed her by the neck and threw her against the ground and signaled his guards to take her away back to the cells. Korath is standing next to the throne, he said, "My lord, may I plan the execution for yo-" Ronan interrupted his advisor "No, you may not. I will keep the girl alive so I can train her." He turned to his advisor which Korath said "As you wish, my Lord." and scurried away. 

As Mackenzie went back to the cells, she mustered up the strength to prise herself free and fight the guards until they were unconscious. However, Nebula heard the commotion in the dungeons so she went there with her weapons and saw Mackenzie fighting the guards. Mackenzie turned around and saw Nebula running towards her, Nebula hit Mackenzie in the stomach and Nebula grabbed Mackenzie's throat and pined her against the wall. "Get. Your. Fucking. Hands. Off. Me. You. Blue. Bitch" said Mackenzie as she is gasping for air but it angered Nebula more that she started punching her in the stomach that Mackenzie started to fall unconscious after each blow. 

Ronan heard the commotion in the dungeons so he sent Korath with an order from him, "Go down to the dungeons and sort what is going on, Korath" Korath left immediately with a couple of guards down to the dungeons. Suddenly, he saw Nebula punching Mackenzie so he grabbed Nebula "You do not hurt her like that. Ronan will not be too happy when he finds out that you assaulted his hostage. Now, leave." Korath shouted at Nebula and she nodded, leaving shortly afterwards. Korath sensed that his fellow guards were staring at him after his little discussion with Nebula. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? GO BACK TO WORK!" The boom of Korath's order immediately shook the guards back into action.

This meant that several of the guards had the job of bringing Mackenzie to the infirmary after she had suffered at the hands of Ronan and Nebula today. 'If Ronan said he would kill me, he might as well do it now.' Mackenzie thought while she was unconscious. 

If today wasn't enough for Mackenzie to deal with, she better hope that she has the strength to deal with the next several days.
