Overlord’s Chamber

Previously of Stargate Vedas…

While returning from an off-world mission of M-6578, SV-2 encounter the Supreme Lord Tarasukar, who takes the team hostage and transports them to an Asuran prison world. Unbeknown to the team, their capture Sumbha has been tasked with learning all he can about SV-2, and will stop at nothing to please his Lord.

And now, the conclusion….


Leaning back on what could only be described as a throne carved from a solid block of black, shiny stone, Sumbha considered his next move.

Deep within the depths of the prison world he was creating quite a collection of outsiders from beyond of borders of this realm, who insisted on referring to themselves as the ‘Vedas Expedition’. A few weeks ago he had been traded half a dozen who referred to themselves as SV-7 to a minor warlord, and just a few hours ago, they had been joined by a team who called themselves SV-2. The second team had been a gift from Lord Tarakasur, a reward for Sumbha’s unyielding loyalty and devotion.

They were also an assignment: he had been tasked with learning everything he could from them, as disposing of them when their worth had expired.

SV-2 had been taken deep within the planet, down long and darkened winding tunnels, and placed within some of the most secure cells that were available. The cells were unpleasant to say the least. They were cold and damp, carved roughly out of the planet’s bedrock so as to leave no flat surfaces to comfortably sleep on. The cells were adorned with rusted chains and the skeletal remains of those who had perished. The screams of other prisoners echoed down the halls, adding to the overwhelming feeling of despair.

In front of him, a three-dimensional hologram of the cell was being projected before Sumbha’s throne, displaying the interior of the cell. At the moment he was studying his prey, seeing how they would react before making his next move.

Soon it would be time to reveal him, and the horrors at his command.

Prison Cell

It had been a while since she had been brought to the prison planet, how long exactly she did not know. Sometimes she thought it had only been a few days, but it was apparent by the hunger gnawing in her stomach and how she was feeling physically it had been much longer. Kata ran her hands through her hair before resting her head on her hands, her butt had long since gone numb thanks to the cold stone floor, the guards had stripped her of all her gear so she was left with her own body heat for warmth, her green eyes ran over the area around her again before settling on the only other large object in the room, it was a skeleton, human by the looks of it and it had been there for a while. In her boredom and attempt to keep her mind from thinking about what future probably awaited her she named the pile of bones Bobby, the name seemed to fit for some reason, she had yet to really figure it out. She knew he was there to scare her, and after a few days of being in the cell she knew that whatever Being ran the prison, they were not a kind person. The constant screams were a reminder of that and watching other prisoners being taken from their cells only never to return, she could only assume it was only a matter of time before the same happened to her, though she hoped she'd just end up like Bobby and not die a painful death, that is if freedom did not come sooner. 

Kata dozed off, her head resting on her knees as her back was to the wall; it was a light sleep, her mind never reaching that point of calm where the sounds of the outside did not reach. She was out for a few hours when the sound of loud voices coming from the end of the hall woke her up, as the noise grew she scrambled to her feet, still staying in the back of her cell, "You hear that , right?" she said softly looking over to were Bobby had always sat chained to the wall, the empty eye sockets just stared out at space. "I seriously need to stop that.."  she said as she slowly walked to the front of her cell. The noise she had heard sounded like several footsteps coming down the hall, and one of the faint voices seemed really familiar, she stopped walking as a guard moved past her cell and waited several moments before moving again. The barrier that served as the entrance to her cell stopped her from actually looking out more, and the curve of the hall prevented her from actually seeing what was going on, but she could still hear. From the sounds of things she assumed new prisoners were being brought in, the same guard as before walked past again and this time Kata spoke.

"Hey, Schultz," she called as the man passed, the Asuran stopped and stared down at her, his face expressionless, "Who are the new people?" she asked firmly, her gut telling her that they were humans, and she bet they were from the Vedas Expedition, it was highly unlikely you'd find humans out here and not have them be from Earth. "Non of your concern" the guard replied raising his club to force her away from the bars. Kata moved just in time to avoid getting hit with one of the stun bolts, the little bastards hurt like hell. "You bet your ass it is my concern!" she yelled at him as he left, her voice echoing down the hall. Gripping her head in her hands she took and deep breath and turned from the barrier, swearing she looked down at Bobby, who like always had yet to move, for once the skeleton did not seem to have anything to say, now frustrated she started pacing her cell, not having much else to do. Several hours later she was back sitting against the wall closest to her cell door, Bobby in his usual spot a few feet away, she was listening for any noise down the hall that could let her know who had joined her, so far nothing, but she was hoping for something.

After being shoved inside, Billie could only glare at the guard on the other side if the door. Her weapons and gear were taken from her and her team. With lack of weapons, they were sitting ducks. They would be freed, these guys could bet their month worth of food. SGC had a SOP that automatically send a team or teams, if any off-world team failed to check in during certain times when off world. While Vedas couldn't afford to send much of man power after them, she was certain Admiral Oxford would send those available. Even if it meant allowing the flagship team to come after them. She looked at the time, they had another hour before they had been due to check in.

Hearing some sound, Billie moved towards the door and found the feel of static on her fingertips, which meant electricity, or at most their version of it. She couldn't rule out a supernatural powers to achieve such feat. "Hey everyone," she called out to her team members, "are all of you okay?" she asked. If USS Shiva arrived in time, she was sure the battle cruiser would be orbiting the planet in no time. That was if they were found sooner than later.

While waiting for their replies, she moved around the cell. To check if there were weak spots in the walls that could be broken. So far she noted, there weren't any. In fact she took a closer look and realilsed that they weren't your standard type of holding cells.

Frak factor just went up by a thousand.

Mac was NOT happy. She didn't know what sort of beings these people were, but she had a few words for them. A few CHOICE words. Her team was split up, with Koren being taken in a different direction from the females. Great. She used her best former DI voice to demaned that Kana be put with her-she was just a child, after all, and if they were gonna be prisoners, at least she'd keep the girl alive as best she could. Her weapons-the ones they could SEE, anyway-were taken from her, but she was a Marine, and a Marine was trained to use ANYTHING as a weapon. She smiled smugly at the fact that she still had a pen, and her shoelaces. Now if she could just remember that episode of MacGyver. She sighed deeply, and then pulled off her BDU jacket, and settled on the floor. She didn't trust the housekeeping here, and since she was now a POW, she was going to get comfortable before she got all JAG-y on them. She noticed one of the guards checking her out and gave him a death glare. She'd dropped a few guys before for that, and she'd do it again.

She glanced over at Kana.

Miss Charter....is your magic quite like your brothers? Mac desperately needed to know this. Not because she was planning any funny business, but because she had a plan. If so, do you think you could figure out a way to turn this pen into a weapon? Macgyver reruns had played constantly in the Barracks at OCS, but she'd failed to keep any of it in her head. Damn it.

A voice rang out, Lt. Witwer, if she weren't mistaken.

Hey everyone...are all of you okay? Mac smiled a little.

Lt., thank you. Roll call, please? I have Ms. Charter, and myself. They took Telion the opposite way, I assume to male prison. Miss Ka'ti? She waited for the young woman's response.

Team 3 accounted for. Continue your orders as given, please. Stay tuned for further updates, most likely from Miss Charter. It would be SOO much faster, and save her voice, for the Mewotain to communicate en masse.

She sat back down, and tried to think. POW rules of engagement. WHY hadn't she paid more attention in JAG training? Oh, right, she'd been behind Harmon Rabb that semster. THINK, SARAH. She sat up straight, and smiled a little.

LAWFUL CAPTURE!! She ran to the door of her cell, and spoke to her guard.

My name is LCOL Sarah Jane Mackenzie of the United States Marine Corps. I am a JAG, which means I have legal representation. I need to speak to your immediate supervisor RIGHT NOW. I also demand the return of my people to my care. INCLUDING the male. We have rights, you know! She sighed, but at least the guard disappeared.

Kana had seemed not to take the experience too badly, mainly that was because she was used to taking orders, be it her mother and sister or her higher ups there was always someone telling her what to do and she was expected to do it. Kana had about as much knowledge on these people as the rest of the team did and they had taken her scanner so she wasn't going to find out anytime soon.

Kana sat with a sigh on her lab coat. She got the feeling that whoever these people were they were going to make it like the stories her brother had told her and it only terrified her more. Kana jumped a little at the Mac's grabbing of her attention. We both use.... began Kana before Mac explained what she wanted to do. Did she look like an engineer? Had she made anyone think that she had any idea how these weapons work? I'm a doctor. The best you'll get with my support magic is a transfer to another room. she said raising an eyebrow.

Then it was time for roll call. It reminded Kana of her classes more than anything. She understood these humans less and less with each passing day it would seem. With her eyes and ears she'd already seen, Witwer, Mac and Lequana. She'd also heard a familiar voice. Kata...? I believe we have someone else to rescue. I'm sure I heard Captain Harris' voice from a nearby room. Kana points out. I haven't picked up on Lt. Tellion yet but I presume he's being held in a different paw of the building. she added hoping they'd get everyone together and out somehow.

Kana was forced to raise an eyebrow at Mac's demand at legal representation. She couldn't help but giggle at the strange woman. I'm pretty sure the rules of engagement only apply to us civilised races. she points out. She didn't want to voice her fears out loud, whilst she might be acting like she wasn't fussed the other girls could probably she her shaking. She did have one weapon though, she could form a mana scalpel, Aear had even made her learn to do it without being detected.

Kana took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then again. The reverse breathing that Aear had taught her and she was using it to calm herself and focus her mana and body. She formed the scalpel in her right, stood up and moved towards the door. No matter how terrified she was of doing this it wasn't like she could give it to anyone else. It needed constant processing and she was the only one here who understood anything about magic. Kana waited for one of the guards to respond to Mac before reforming the blade through the door and into the guard. Ok they were still locked in but they'd have to send someone in to investigate right? Kana took a few steps back and formed a second blade in her left taking her combat stance. Ok so maybe knives weren't all that great against projectiles but she could put up a barrier strong enough to block them. She hoped.

From his throne, Sumbha continued to study the holographic projection of the cells which held his latest captives. The members of SV-2 were starting to wander and explore their cell, and were yelling at his guards for an explanation or an audience with the leader of the facility.

And an audience they would have.

0301
Asuran Prison World
Prison Cells

Flanked by royal guards, Sumbha approached the cells which held his most valued captives. “Your powers will not work here feline,” he announced to the Meowtian prisoner. While he had never dealt with the species before, he had been briefed on their physiology and ability to manipulate what they termed ‘magic’. So far as Sumbha and his cohort were concerned, only the Asuras were of divine enough pedigree to master the art of the unexplained. He would need to study the Meowtian closer and find a way to remove their access to their ‘magic’.

An outspoken woman who they’d identified as the leader of the team began to bellow at the guards, citing her name and title as proof of her importance. “Silence,” Sumbha commanded in reply. “Your words mean nothing within these walls.” Mackenzie announced herself as the legal representative of the team, and demanded the return of the male team member, who had been separated from the females of the team.

“Your demands, likewise, carry no meaning,” he added. “As do your rights. As of now, the only rights you have are those which are granted to you by myself.”

Without warning, the Meowtian summoned a blade and stabbed one of his guards through the bars of the cell. Sumbha raised an eyebrow as the guard fell to the ground, impressed with the skills of the young girl. He had underestimated her, and that would not happen again.

“Now,” he asked, making sure to stand well back from the cell, out of her range. “You will tell me what you were doing on the planet where you were found? On whom were you spying?”

Leaquana followed the group as they were weaved through the passages were they would be forced in to a cell, as she walked she couldn't help but wonder if any of het own people were taken to a prison like this and spent there last moments in this pit. As much as she wondered she could only think of herself at the moment by rapping her jacket around arm as her arm that had held her pad with connections to her arm, the result was her arm had turned a metallic blue and with a light glow. It was the first sign something was different about this environment, her nanites had form a protective layer around an infected area instead of healing it and she could only gather they were running on low power for some reason or some other reason. Her body as a result could be more prone to infectious disease, she could only hope there was enough power for nanites to continue. Rule one was to avoid contact with everything and not to eat or drink. She had been forced to do it before while she was with her old team,she had lasted two days before infection took two team comrades and by night a rescue team managed to free them. All she could do would be to hope her new comrades would be able to come up with a escape plan before history repeated itself.
Leaquana went to the side of the wall watching were she was sitting, making sure all the while to avoid touching anything. If she had her gloves or even the ones the Tau'ri doctors use she'd feel half safe.
A pain struck out from her arm for ten seconds traveling through her body, but like always she did her best to keep a brave face.

She could see the contents of the letter to Az and Ken once this mission was over in her head. There were chances that her best friends would brand her mental, if they already hadn't. Her first experience as a POW. Sure she remember having drills or mock training at the Academy. But this was the real deal. The best she could was to keep calm while her CO did the panic job for all of them. While she asserted the situation with a cool head. If she could survive the freezing ice cold temperatures, she could make it through this.

Leaning on the door, she noticed the 'bad guy' walking past. She shivered from his presence and more from his words. How was she going to explain it to her commanding officer that legal rights didn't not exist here? Better that they had no understanding of the word. As the male before them was a Judge Dredd. She winced as the man spoke, "Who are you to demand?" Billie asked, in alarm, as the air of protectiveness for her team sprang, "What business it of yours anyway?" She was not well aware of who the planet was under the control over.

She wasn't scared of him, just his appearance.

This was not going to be fun.

The expected defiance of his prisoners manifested itself in their demands to know who he was what he wanted. A young woman, who despite her gender and age had been identified as holding a leadership position on the team, was the first to respond.

“I do not make demands, I make requests. Requests which are met with death if they are not followed,” Sumbha replied to her with his typical menacing growl. “Know this child, you are in my domain now. My every wish you will obey.”

Having made his appearance known to them, Sumbha decided that it was best to let them mull over what they had witnessed. He had made himself known to them, and hopefully the fear of him would break about the team. Once divided, SV-2 would be a lot easier to break and interrogate.

“I will return for answers. I suggest you supply them.” With a swirl of his cape, the Asuran lord paced further down the corridor, flanked by his royal guards.

He arrived a moment later at another cell which housed a woman by the name of Kata Harris, who he had captured shortly before SV-2. While she was alone, the woman he managed to so far managed to defeat his best efforts to extract information from her. It was possible that the presence of her allies in the prison would rattle her just enough to give him the upper hand in their continued game of cat and mouse.

“This morning I received reports that you continue to defy the guards,” he scowled at her. “Your defiance, while admirable, with ultimately be your demise.”

Kana simply glared at Sumbha as he spoke, not taking in a single word. Something Aear had taught her without realising with all his technical nonsense. Well it was nonsense to HER. She didn't notice till he turned to leave, her magic just suddenly failed and a wave of tiredness washed over. Both her blades and cosmetic magic disappeared. AMF? No she knew what an AMF felt like, and she'd be in pain if there was a mana pressure field. She took a few steps back as Sumbha left, closing her eyes and feeling the mana in the air. Not something she was admittedly any good at but she'd at least figured out mana was being absorbed, somehow.

Kana slumped back against the wall. She couldn't even hold her cosmetic magic up. Everyone would see just how exhausted she was, nearly a year of late nights or no sleep at all had taken it's toll on her. She knew it better than anyone, but how could she stop? Lives were on the line and people were counting on her. She wasn't going to let her mother or her sister sucumb to the disease. Kana felt like crying, like saying something, anything but nothing came. She stared at the floor defeated not able to look at anyone.

Kata was still sitting against the wall listening to what was going on down the hall, from the various noises she had determined that the new group had to be from the Vedas Expedition; where new prisoners usually begged for their lives as they were dragged to a cell, this group seemed to put up a decent fight. It made her smile. Her brief moment of happiness was cut short by the arrival of the Royal Guard, and that only meant one thing. Lord Sumbha was not far behind. She did not move as the god appeared seconds later, in her time on the prison world she had seen little of the Overlord, but she had learned when he showed up it was not a good thing.

“This morning I received reports that you continue to defy the guards,” she glanced up at him from where she sat on the floor, wanting nothing more at that moment than a chance to punch the scowl right off his face, but that would probably end up with her getting killed. “Your defiance, while admirable, with ultimately be your demise.”   Kata slowly stood up from where she sat, her body protesting after being on the cold ground for so long, she pushed her discomfort to the back of her mind and focused on the task at hand. "I can't begin to tell you how many times I have faced my so called demise." she said trying to keep her voice confident she walked a few feet so she stood in front of the Prison Lord, though with the barrier separating them, squaring her shoulders she looked up at him. "As for my defiance, this morning's spout of it could have been avoided if your guard had just answered my damn question!"

Leaquana watch as Kana sat down as if given up, that was how she saw it and that's probably how she looked too. Leaquana didn't want to be seen weak so she lifted her head and ripped the front end of her shirt with the help of a stone she took of the ground, it took her another minute or two before she managed to take the back of her shirt of too and by the time she finished her shirt looked like a Tau'ri belly top like one of Privates wore back on base. Rapping it like a scarf she placed it below her mouth and approached Kana, bending over Leaquana slow and gently lifted Kana's face up speaking softly.

" Kana, I know your scared and to be honest I'm scared out of my mind right now. But my nanities are losing power, I'm guessing you could be feeling the same which makes me tremble to think what could happen if I don't make it out of here and I'm using that fear to push me while I still have strength. I really want to see Aear again, so use what strength and everything Aear taught you to help us escape. Believe in you team. Kana."

Leaquana stood up and looked down on Kana smiling as she put her new scarf over her mouth. Leaquana turned and approached Billie holding back any pain she felt keeping the scarf over her mouth and nose as she spoke. She felt like telling her how much pain and how her system was failing but she knew there was more at stake.

The female replied with the continued defiance that had become her trademark since first coming here. Sumbha wanted to sign or roll his eyes, but both would have given away the fact that he was losing patience with Kata. And he was not one to ever admit that he was not in perfect control. While he had not resorted to more painful and direct ways to making her talk - yet - her spirit did not appear to be wavering despite her continued and hopeless imprisonment. If the other members of SV-2 possessed the same fortitude as her, his mission to make them talk might end up being more difficult that he’d first predicted.

“Whatever you have faced in your life to this point is insignificant compared to what you will experience at my hands,” he replied. Looking to one of his royal guards, he noted toward the cell door. The guards stepped forward and unlocked the door, before stepping back and levelling his weapon at her.

“This way,” Sumbha ordered. Flanked by his guards, who kept their weapons trained on Harris, he led her toward the cell where SV-2 was held. Under the watchful gaze of the guards she was ushered into the cell, and the door locked behind her.

“Here, a token of my good will,” he said to SV-2, motioning toward Kata and she joined them in their cell. “In time you will learn in time that I can be a merciful lord. I have returned your companion to her. Now, answer me. Who sent you to the world on which you were found? What was your purpose for being there?”

She had a glared at the man before in a sense daring him to to follow the threat he had just made. If he thought that he could turn her or her team into a slaves or whatever they called it on the planet. Billie was going to give him h3ll of a time. She gazed at the passed out Marine and squeezed her eyes shut after the man had gone. Checking on her CO, "When pigs fly," the navy officer muttered under her breath as her fingers trailed over the neck looking for a pulse. She was glad to find it strong.

She glanced up in time to see the young Meowtian falling and resting against the wall, she wanted to bolt over to the tiny medical officer but Leaquana had things under control, "You okay?" she asked, from what she was seeing the girl wasn't looking well. Bills could feel a film of sweat over her face as she tried keeping a lid on her panic, she looked at Leaquana, even to her observation the woman didn't look well either, "You two hang in there. We will get out." She tried and wanted to keep a strong front in front of ugly mug. Or she would die trying to get them out. Right now these guys were her focus.

But it was the question Leaquana had asked that rendered her mind blank. Plan? She needed to come up with a plan?

Frak!

She took a peek outside the cells to make sure that the ugly wasn't within the hearing shot, then leaned over to Leaquana, "We might have to try finding a way out if we can. We might have to speak to -" she cut of when the door opened and Kata came into the view. At seeing the face, Billie's eyes widened in shock.

Kana looked up at Lequana, she was right. Kana had known it all along but just couldn't remember for a second. Aear kept telling her that fear was a super power. She nodded and smiled. Thanks she said simply. She wasn't sure what else to say.

The idea of what to say was cut short by Sumbha's return however. “Here, a token of my good will,” he said to SV-2, motioning toward Kata and she joined them in their cell. “In time you will learn in time that I can be a merciful lord. I have returned your companion to her. Now, answer me. Who sent you to the world on which you were found? What was your purpose for being there?”

A-Amarasuta! Kana swallowed her pride and gave him the first name that came into her head. Kana only knew her as one of the old mages of legend. In Japanese mythology however she was the goddess of the sun. She was relieved to see Kata alive, not so much to see she was also a prisoner but they could work on the details later.


" What's are plan sir ?"

Kana nodded and looked up to Billie. I can't use any magic but I might be able to point away out if I can get my scanner. suggests Kana.
