They Can't Save You

[Nostalgia Chick]

(January 15th. Open to Nostalgia Chick, Morpheus, Bender, and any villains.)

Nostalgia Chick yawned as she awoke in her prison cell. The cell door was still damaged. She guessed they hadn't had time to fix it yet. She frowned realizing they could have been rescued a few days ago but it hadn't gone that well. If only Gadget had more time they'd be free.

"I know you'll come back. And next time you'll take us out of here." thought Nostalgia Chick.

"I wouldn't count on that." said a voice.

Nostalgia Chick looked up to see Rita Repulsa walk in the door. She immediately glared at the witch.

"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" said Rita cackling.

Rita smiled glancing at a green orb hanging around her neck. She tapped it as her voice immediately changed to Nostalgia Chick's.

"I think I'll have use for this voice. Perhaps I can lure your dear friends into a trap." said Rita/Nostalgia Chick.

She smirked tapping the orb as her voice returned to normal.

"Yes. This will be very useful indeed." said Rita.

Chick glared at her lunging at the bars which still damaged gave off an electric shock zapping her sending her flying backwards.

[Patch]

"It takes a lot of courage to try and get a rise out of people for no particular reason. One way or another, the critic will know where we are and save us. You might as well stop taunting my ally" Morpheus snapped as he was somewhat dirty from the prison cell. He was ungagged but had the warning of being gagged again, but he never cared. He would talk until his last breath. No one would make him lose his right of speech. Also, chick had the right to keep her voice as well so them taking that from her did not settle with the older and more protective man.
XXXXX

Patch let out a small whine as he huddled behind Morpheus. Ever since he was in the cell, the villians kept taunting and abusing him emotionally. He was somewhat pychologically inable to defend himself and has been much closer to both morpheus and chick.

"Chick's gonna have her voice back before you have time to use it" Patch murmured
XXXX

"Oh really? Such a crying shame you three are so confident in a very unlikely place" Terl replied walking with his proud and observant gaze at the prisoners. He chuckled as chick got herself zapped but glared at Morpheus "It takes much MORE courage to talk shit when you're in a cell, dirty and with no other resources to back you up" Terl then snapped to Patch "Quiet mutt! You're not allowed to talk unless WE tell you to"

[Deleted]

Bender peered in from the door, a cigar hanging from his mouth and obsureing the air around him with smoke. He looked confused and somewhat curious. The robot was wondering what all the yelling was for and if it was a party he wanted in on. He dissapeared from view for a moment before entering the room, holding a beer. Bender gave the prisoners a long look, analyzeing them.

"Do I hear a verbal lashing in here?" He asked, as if he objected to it, and then immedately fallowed, "Why wasn't I invited?"

(crap post)

[Rita Repulsa]

Rita smirked glancing at the trio. She turned as Terl and Bender arrived.

"They're right. Critic and his fools can't save you. They already tried and failed. They were losing against us. They retreated like the cowards they truly are." said Rita.

XXXX

Nostalgia Chick weakly leaned back on the seat in the cell glancing at Morpheus and Patch gratefully as they spoke. When she heard the three villains taunts she frowned. It was true they'd failed but she knew Critic and the others wouldn't give up so easily. They'd taken over a nation, searched for that stupid gauntlet, and fought off several creeps like Mechakara and Dr. Insano for years. It make take more time but she was sure they'd come.

XXXX

Malachite walked in next smiling as he glanced at Nostalgia Chick.

"Well you didn't expect to see me again. Critic and Ma-Ti don't have that silly little ring to protect them anymore. They won't be around to rescue you." said Malachite.

He smirked as he twirled his staff around.

XXXX

Nostalgia Chick glared at the new arrival. Because of him Ma-Ti had been killed and they'd grieved for months. Iheart and Critic had been a wreck for awhile. Even know they were happier than she'd seen in a long time. She wasn't sure if either of them could survive losing Ma-Ti again. And she didn't want Critic to be gone. They'd never had a chance to talk alone after Malachite had hurt him and she'd snapped at him. She just glared at the man unable to speak.

[Patch]

Black Lantern Spoony chuckled as he too entered the room. He heard morpheus snap at them and he got severely annoyed. He replied to Morpheus in a complete lack of patience "You know. I think I recall choking you when we first kiddnapped you. How would you like your throat completely disabled?" BLS hated morpheus more than any of the villains did. From what he gathered, they focused on Chick the most, unsurprising since she was the leader's love interest. However BLS just felt the freedom vibe of Morpheus was up to 500 and he didn't like it.
XXXXX

Morpheus smirked and replied "Go ahead. Try it. Prove how cowardly you are by showing you need to use violence to gain respect. As the critic would say at a time like this "Go to hell and stay there" I'm not afraid to die. I'm not even afraid of pain itself"
XXXX

BLS growled "I already WAS in hell. Boring place. Also, if you're not afraid of pain, I'm sure you wouldn't mind if Rita blasted your brains in or Mechakara peeling your skin"
XXXX

"M-mechakara?!" Patch murmured his tail so up his stomach he'd be sure to lose the tail. BLS scared him sure but not as much as mechakara. Patch was terrified at that moment now. Out of all the people he was afraid of, It was definitely Mechakara. Ever since he was here, that robot somehow gave him a VERY wrong vibe. In complete fear he whined, pulling his tail back and huddling into Morpheus' shirt. Morpheus picked up the dog and while glaring at Bender assured the pup by patting his back. Patch whined more.

(OCC: Would love it if mechakara spent some time here more than making fun of chick but also constantly try to scare and emotionally taunt Patch. Also, showing the poor little puppy his red demon eyes and laughing )
XXXX

Terl chuckled "Poor little puppy. All bark and no bite! HA! Finally a good punch-line! Spent all day on that one" Terl then looked to Rita and replied "Precisely dear Rita. It'll be too much for those pathetic humans to even understand magic or science!" Terl then turned to Malachite "Which is exactly why we have malachite here. He knows more than any of you pathetic heroes"

Terl went over to the mad zombie and replied patting his shoulder "Don't bother. He's not worth your time and power. All three of them aren't they're idiotic. Forget about them"

[Deleted]

Bender was quiet, looking mildly questioning. His pixel eyes rested on the prisoners. The robot didn't know them well - or at all. It wasn't like he wouldn't have joined in the bullying, but he couldn't immedately come up with anything nasty to say, not ever seeing the humans or puppy before. But he did know they were on the opposide site - so he instantly hated them. He took a lengthy drag on his cigar before eagerly joining in the crowd.

"Yeah, meat-bags!" He crowed and then cackled for a long while, possably taking up the time he would have used to speak, if he had anything cleaver to say.

[Mechakara]

Rita smirked seeing Black Lantern Spoony arrive as he taunted Morpheus. She smirked forgetting Chick for the moment as BLS brought up his attack on him.

"Some great warrior. Looks like you're useless against the undead. First Myotismon and now Black Lantern Spoony. You want me to fetch a ghost for you to fail at fighting as well?" said Rita cackling.

XXXX

Mechakara walked in having heard part of the conversation glaring at the three prisoners as his eyes flashed red as if scanning them before returning to normal. He turned to Black Lantern Spoony and smiled.

"Terl's right. Don't let those fools bother you. The only one of use in my opinion is Chick because they all care about her." said Mechakara.

He turns glancing at Patch and Morpheus as his eyes flash red again for a moment.

"I don't see much use for the other two. Morpheus is too dangerous to be released with his skills as a fighter. He could train the rest of them to become more of a nuisance than they are right now. And the dog's not really worth our time. If I were in charge you'd both already be dead." said Mechakara.

He smirked glancing down at the frightened puppy.

"Do I frighten you? Are you wishing you were back home with your family? Or safely tucked away at Critic's house?" said Mechakara.

He smirked and let out a mettalic laugh.

"Well you're stuck here and you might as well get used to it." said Mechakara laughing.

Mechakara turned glancing at Nostalgia Chick and smiled at her.

XXXX

Nostalgia Chick immediately shivered as he stared at her. Last time she'd been alone with him she'd become a cyborg called Seven of Eleven. She'd been trapped in her own body unable to do anything as Mechakara had taken over her body. She pulled backwards defiantly. She wouldn't go back to being that creature if that's what he planned. Not without a fight.

[Patch]

Morpheus smirked "Ah robot menace. We meet once again" He then frowned as he and Rita encouraged their undead colleague about how "stupid" or "worthless" they are. Morpheus replied "I may not understand magic but I know justice and good. You're not it" Morpheus then glared into Mechakara's red glowing eyes "I don't give a damn what you do to me. If you harm Chick or Patch, I'll find any way to relieve my bonds and swear vengence upon myself!" He knew he was in a death situation but again he didn't care. He scooted over to Chick and hugged her protectively, glaring at the taunters, accidenly leaving patch in the open. He then replied to mechakara "How low are you to insult an innocent animal?"
XXXX

"Low enough to terminate YOU fool! God damnit! Unleash this cage so I can make this man respect me and us!" BLS growled and shouted. He hated morpheus. Despised him. Couldn't stand him. As much as his friend mechakara and his allies tried to calm him. The undead man would not be calm. He banged on the cage and replied to him snarling "Talk again and I'll transport the mutt to Mechakara's hands so you can see the dog be pulled in half!"
XXXX

(OCC: Thank you. Now a few more taunts and more emotional abuse and Patch will be somewhat the "Break the cutie" TV trope type of dilema. Pwease?)

Patch turned to see Mechakara and just stared, whining at the robot. He wished Maleficent was here so she would've eaten mechakara alive. Maleficent wherever you are. Please don't let them kill me

The dog's not really worth our time. If I were in charge.....you'd be dead[/i]

Patch couldn't help but let out a yelp for help at that. He didn't want to die. Not like this. Not with that robot's red soulful eyes. Patch was definitely not going to sleep well this night. Mechakara's eyes burned into his own young soul

Do I frighten you? Are you wishing you were back home with your family? Or safely tucked away at Critic's house? *Metalic laughter*[/i]

Patch nodded sadly "I wish I was with maleficent. She's not afraid of you... but yes. I am" He whimpered as the robot taunted him but he was right, he was afraid and wanted to go back to the critic's. He then barked in complete fear at Mechakara's laughter. Not to try to brave himself up but his instincts told him to simply bark at what was scaring him. He showed tears and backed up againest the wall. As if it was the only way out

Well you're stuck here and you might as well get used to it[/i]

Yes. He was. He would get out of here but at that exact moment, Patch believed Mechakara. He would never get out. He would be stuck here in a eternal peril of the robotic man's mechanical laugh. He laid down in complete submission and covered his eyes.

Talk again and I'll transport the mutt to Mechakara's hands so you can see the dog be pulled in half![/i]

Patch then cried.

[Mechakara]

"The only one worthless is you three Morpheus. Such a shame you didn't learn Nostalgia Chick's lesson that silence is golden." said Dark Nella walking in.

XXXX

Nostalgia Chick flinched seeing her former friend arrive. Dark Nella had thrown her into a couple fridges and nearly killed her before they'd freed her. And now she wasn't sure if they could this time. A tear went down her cheek as she wished the real Nella was here.

XXXX

Dr. Smith followed in chuckling holding a device in his hands.

"Well Dr. Insano and I worked out a gadget. We can fix up the cell door now." said Dr. Smith.

He taps a button as the mechanism as it fires a beam of energy at the door. The old door mechanism vanishes and is instantly replaced by a new one.

"Now you can open the cell doors once more." said Dr. Smith.

XXXX

"Then I'd like to teach that dog a lesson." said Mechakara.

He opened the cell door reaching for Patch.

Nostalgia Chick jumped in the way as Mechakara just tossed her aside like a rag doll picking up Patch and walking out.

"I think we'll have a lot of fun. Won't we." said Mechakara.

He smirked walking into a room next door so Morpheus and Chick could hear what was going on.

XXXX

Dark Nella smirked glancing at the rest of them.

"Well Nostalgia Chick and I have an old score to settle. But if any of you wishes to have some fun with Morpheus you're welcome to. Just don't kill him. We need him alive for now." said Dark Nella.

She smirked walking into the cell grabbing Nostalgia Chick before vanishing in a flash of black electricity.

XXXX

Rita smirked glancing at Black Lantern Spoony.

"You heard what she said. Time to teach Morpheus a lesson." said Rita.

[Patch]

Patch yelped as the leather glove grabbed his neck all over again. It was almost as if he was having a flashback of his capture. He tried to bite the leather glove but then he remembered it wouldn't even hurt him so he cried for help. He practically whined for mercy but he knew he wouldn't get it. He only closed his eyes and awaited Mechakara to finish whatever he wanted to do. He said nothing only prayed it would be quick
XXXXX

Morpheus shouted no the minute Chick and patch disappeared. Both were gone now he was on his own. Well then. He needed to be a man and stand up for himself. Quickly he got up, knowing out of all the people it was definitely BLS chosen to finish him off. Morpheus defiantly spat at the ground to show he would not leave this place as a coward.
XXXX

"Have fun dear black lantern. I know I will" Terl replied taking a seat and asking Rita jokingly "I say we need some popcorn. This is going to get interesting" He then laughed as he saw Morpheus spit the ground "STILL fiery! Admittedly it would be admirable if you weren't so... stubborn before"
XXXXX

"Oh yes. Finally. I've been wanting to pound you in for a long time" Black Lantern Spoony snapped practically slaming the cage door. Causing morpheus to get distracted slightly. Unfortunately, BLS grabbed Morpheus chest baring the black man's face againest his and he growled out "You will respect me" With that he slammed Morpheus' head againest the wall repeatedly before pinning the man down to the ground. When morpheus struggled, BLS just responded with a punch to either his chest or face

[Mechakara]

Dr. Smith chuckled watching the display. His device recording everything. He'd send a copy to Critic's army to make them suffer. And he'd keep a copy for themselves. After all not all the villains were here and some might want a replay.

"I wonder if he's learned his lesson yet." said Dr. Smith.

XXXX

Rita chuckled as she waved her hand conjuring popcorn buckets for anyone who wanted it as she munched on her box of popcorn.

"A shame Patch and Nostalgia Chick aren't here to see this. Or Critic and the rest of your friends. I'm sure they'd be very interested in knowing what's going on here." said Rita chuckling.

XXXX

Mechakara stood in the next room tuning out the fight. He'd promised Iheart after all that nothing bad would happen to Chick and Morpheus when he'd exchanged information. But he'd also lied that day. He'd do or say anything to get his revenge on Linkara. He pulled out a metallic leash from his pocket clipping it to Patch's collar.

"I've decided to make you my pet. I'm sure you'll really like it here. Once you get used to the place." said Mechakara.

[Patch]

Terl nodded a polite thank you to Rita before munching and staring at BLS beating the admitted shit out of Morpheus. Terl was so entranced of how brutal the setting was but he loved it. It would show the human prisoner that he was in hell now and would not get out of it until they said so. "Shh! I don't want to miss his pained screams! The other heroes can worry about this later. That is if there is a later.. for our foolish prisoner that is"
XXXXX

BLS ignored the side comments, he was full of rage againest morpheus. He turned the black man to face him and pinned him even tighter to the ground. Morpheus however was quiet but was shown he was getting more and more tired with each punch. Morpheus was in complete pain and was not only bleeding from the face and nose but also was soon to get a black eye, his clothes were getting all musty and he was coughing in complete lack of ability to breathe.

"See what a smart-ass attitude gets you into? SEE IT?!" BLS cried in rage
XXXX

Patch opened his eyes in shock. He was going to live? Mechakara wasn't going to kill him. That would've been relieving if he wasn't confirmed now as Mechakara's pet. It was both terrifying and merciful in mechakara's part. Patch sat down and released his tail out, now somewhat calm

"Wait. I thought.... I thought you wanted to teach me a lesson. That black lantern spoony was going to allow you to rip me in half" Patch said in the smallest voice possible

[Mechakara]

Rita nodded remaining silent as she conjured some chairs as well so she could sit down and enjoy herself.

XXXX

Dr. Smith sat on one of the chairs watching with interest.

"The poor fellow doesn't look like he'll last much longer." said Dr. Smith chuckling.

XXXX

Mechakara turned to the dog and smiled.

"That was for Morpheus and Chick. You see everyone's going to think you're dead. So no one will come to rescue you." said Mechakara.

He smirked raising his arm and blasting a chair sending off an explosion.

"And that's your unfortunate demise." said Mechakara.

He activates a device as a blue energy wave pulses through the room creating an invisible sound barrier.

"Now you don't have to listen to your poor friend's demise. And he doesn't have to know you're still alive." said Mechakara.

He tied the end of the leash to the wall so Patch couldn't escape and then walked over to a machine typing in some codes. A few seconds later a duplicate collar and tag appeared as Mechakara picked it up. He then spilled some blood on it from an animal Ask That Guy and the others had killed earlier to eat. He'd saved some of it planning to use it for the collar.

"Don't worry. I'll be back soon." said Mechakara.

He walked back through the invisible barrier into the next room. He watched as BL Spoony kept pounding at Morpheus.

"I thought you'd like to know I finished off that poor dog. I put it out of is misery. It wasn't of use to us anyway." said Mechakara.

He tossed the bloody collar and tag onto the floor.

"I do hope he wasn't that important to you." said Mechakara.

[Patch]

Patch let out a whine then he shook his head "No! Don't hurt morpheus and chick! Please!" Patch wanted to run but his leash only choked him. Patch pulled and when mechakara threatened he would return. Patch only laid down in complete defeat
XXXX

BLS stopped beating Morpheus up only to allow the man to register the fake information that the pup was dead. BLS knew just as much as mechakara he was doing this to torture the prisoners plus keep patch from the heroes clutches. It was sadistic and BLS loved it. He picked up morpheus shoving him to observe the bloody collar "Look at it. That is what useless prisoners come to. Hopefully that won't be you next time"
XXXX

Terl only raised an eyebrow but only watched intently eating his popcorn. To him this was pure entertainment. Enjoyable entertainment even, Terl just watched observantly.
XXXX

"No! You bastard! You killed an innocent animal! YOU BASTARD!" Morpheus shouted in pure rage. He struggled with BLS even more now, while still being in complete pain, trying to get to mechakara so he would fight him instead. Morpheus nearly sobbed out of guilt for the dog. He couldn't believe it. Patch was dead. Vaporized. No more. Patch was no longer part of the world, he never deserved to die. Morpheus struggled harder "Why?! WHY?!"

[Mechakara]

Mechakara chuckled as Morpheus rage and pain.

"Why did I do it? Because I could. We're evil, villains. Well most of us anyway. Besides, it's your fault for letting him into battles. At least we can protect ourselves and the few weak ones we have you'd never kill them as you're all too kind-hearted. I gave the dog a quick death. I was merciful this time. Besides Linkara's the one I'm truly after. I must remember to send a message to him. When hears the news I'm sure he'll be absolutely devastated." said Mechakara.

He laughed again.

XXXX

Rita watched interested. She wasn't sure if he was faking or not but she wouldn't ruin his fun. Besides seeing Morpheus's reaction was priceless.

XXXX

"Well I'd say that went rather well." said Dr. Smith.

XXXX

Malachite had been silent taking some popcorn watching with interest. When Malachite had claimed to kill the dog he was in agreement. The dog was of no use to them. They didn't really need prisoners anyway. But then again they might be able to force Critic's group into surrendering.
