| Part II: Shackled from Hopes and Dreams | |

| ((Please do not post in this thread until you have had your | |
| character exit any Part One threads they may still be in. Thank | |
| you.)) | |
| ((Note: This is the thread for monsters whom have been captured | |
| by The Koray and has it's own exclusive story section from the | |
| rest of the other characters in the Arc. Most characters whom | |
| have been captured are ideally child monsters, but, older | |
| monsters are still welcome to join this thread. If you started | |
| off for your character to being on the rescue/investigation team | |
| in Part One but like the idea of them being captured for the | |
| rest of the arc instead, then you may also join if you so wish. | |
| Please remember that once you have joined the Captured side of | |
| the story, you cannot switch sides again until your character | |
| has been rescued. If you're recently switching sides and haven't | |
| been captured for long, feel free to post them being dragged | |
| into this room.)) | |
| ---- | |
| The room was dark and damp. Those whom have been locked away | |
| here haven't seen outside these four, windowless, poorly lit | |
| storage room. Dozens upon dozens of child monsters have been | |
| carelessly dumped here for days on end with no food and no | |
| water. Luckily for the monsters, the way they processed food was | |
| different to how humans did, so there was no need for a bathroom | |
| anyway. Each captured monster - almost all of them being | |
| children - had a collar wrapped tightly around their neck and it | |
| disabled them from defending themselves with magic. No matter | |
| how much they tried, none of them have been successful of | |
| removing it thus far, but with any luck they might find a way. | |
| There was certainly no hope here, especially for those whom had | |
| been here for so long. | |
| In the front corner of the room, right next to the doorway sat a | |
| very small, metallic silver dragon. She had a crown of horns | |
| around her skull and down along her spine, as well as knife-like | |
| tail blades. Her lime green eyes seemed to provide a little | |
| extra light to the room, like a pair of dim torches whenever she | |
| looked around the room. Those whom have been here for at least a | |
| short while would know her name to be Marver, the younger sister | |
| to Cobalt; former Royal Blacksmith. Marver has claimed that out | |
| of the surviving victims, that she has been here the longest and | |
| will do whatever she can to alert the others whenever someone | |
| was coming and to keep everyone as safe as she possibly could. | |
| The young dragoness may be putting on a brave face as she sat by | |
| the door, listening for anyone coming, but deep down she was | |
| absolutely petrified. | |

| *Pandora's just kinda there, on the kazoo- Any attempts to touch | |
| her are met with a lack of a corporeal body to touch, so no | |
| imprisoning her. And anybody who's seen what she can do before | |
| probably knows that there's not a single thing in the world they | |
| could do to keep her there if she really wanted to leave... | |
| She's here of her own free will, and she could just as easily be | |
| elsewhere if she wished it. But as for right now, she's here, | |
| and she's kinda rocking out on that kazoo of hers...* | |

| The room was filled with starving, terrified and lost children | |
| of the Underground. All shackled and most were crying for fear | |
| of being away from their homes and the ordeal. | |
| Marver was the first to whirl around at the source to the noise. | |
| She didn't remember seeing her being dragged in before and the | |
| lack of collar on her neck only caused for the dragon scowl, | |
| "How dare you! You have the power to come and go as you please | |
| and yet you choose to sit here and mock us instead of helping! | |
| You're sick in the head!" she growled. | |
| True Pandora was powerful, unpredictable and physically | |
| intangible, but not untouchable. In this room the specially made | |
| collars were designed to prevent monsters from using their magic | |
| to attack or defend themselves... but that wasn't the only thing | |
| to dread for in here. The walls were dark, slimy and a low | |
| rumbling which rattled from the walls caused for Marver and the | |
| other captives whom had been here long enough to know to fear | |
| such a warning. Instantly they all scrambled and piled on top of | |
| each other in the centre of the room, doing the very best they | |
| could to get as far away from the walls as possible. The ones at | |
| the bottom of the pile of monsters found it difficult to breath | |
| but at least they would be least affected... right? | |
| Moments later the walls glowed white-hot red and the children | |
| screamed and writhed. Every occupant in the room could feel | |
| their bodies and magic being drained away; the stronger and more | |
| 'awesome' they were, the faster their magic was being sapped dry | |
| from. This 'room' moaned, utterly enjoying the feast within. A | |
| couple of the smaller children at the edges of the pile cried | |
| and screamed, and before they knew it their bodies shattered; | |
| dust caked the floor like dry sand. Who knows how many more | |
| lives would be lost before the 'room' decided that it had it's | |
| fill. | |
| The longer Pandora stayed here, the more she will lose control | |
| of her magic and power... who knows, she may decide to stay long | |
| enough to turn to a state when she too could be collared. | |
| Oh how unfortunate to be one of so much power. | |
| ((Got a story to follow, no de-railing please.)) | |

| "Meka, where are you? " a small white goat whispered to no one | |
| in particular . Her brown eyes were dull from repetitively | |
| having the magic drained from her body but a small hopeful spark | |
| was still there. She is coming. She is coming. She will save me. | |
| Monster dust coated her paws and Kapral squirmed uncomfortably. | |
| Her magic was useless against others but she could still use it | |
| on herself. Illusions that only she could see appeared before | |
| her eyes. Her family stood before her and she gave a weak smile | |
| before the room hinted that it would drain them again. Quickly | |
| she joined the mass of children in the middle and awaited her | |
| fate. Would she join many of the already fallen monsters? | |

| "Look, guys, I'm really sorry- I don't mean to be mocking, but | |
| I'm not actually allowed to save you. Believe me, I would if I | |
| could, but I can't, or I'd displease a lot of people that don't | |
| exist in this plane of reality- When this all blows over, I'll | |
| try and come to find you and explain all of it then. Or maybe | |
| not- But... you all looked kinda depressed in here. So I was... | |
| I was kinda trying to cheer all of you up with my kazoo skills. | |
| I suppose it didn't really work, huh?..." | |
| *The draconequus writhed when the room started to drain- The | |
| room, whatever it was, would find no end of magical power in | |
| her. Her form started to fizzle back into physical form | |
| ever-so-slightly, and she was quick to POOF elsewhere before she | |
| lost the power to do so; She wasn't generally one for subjecting | |
| herself to pain voluntarily... Her kazoo has been dropped, | |
| unfortunately.* | |
| "Yeouch... Glad I got outta THERE in time. And all in one piece, | |
| too- Oh, damn it, where's my kazoo?" | |

| Marver just stared at Pandora throughout the ordeal. None of | |
| what she said didn't make any sense, but rather sounded like a | |
| list of excuses. Out of sheer rage the dragoness picked up the | |
| fallen kazoo and threw it at the draconequus' head before | |
| returning her attention to the group of captives. | |
| She was huddled next to Kapral and the dragon instinctively | |
| wrapped an arm around her back into a hug with a right arm and | |
| did the same to whomever was on her left with her left arm. | |
| Kapral and Marver seemed to be okay... for now. | |
| With Pandora gone the 'room' ceased its feasting; until the next | |
| time. All was quiet, except from the prisoners kept within. | |

| "Let go of me you numskull! Hey! Didn't you hear me!? I said let | |
| go!" | |
| A pink and white, soda themed furred shark would be dragged in | |
| by a werebeast, a collar already strapped tightly around her | |
| neck, with one paw she tugged at it uncomfortably, while the | |
| other hand kept a firm hold on Undyne's helmet, which she still | |
| had it seemed. | |
| Cherry was struggling against and kicking the werebeast best she | |
| couldn't without loosing grip on the helmet, as she had promised | |
| Undyne she would keep it safe. But with no success, she would | |
| soon be tossed in with the scared children, imprisoned with the | |
| rest of them. | |
| The toss would send her in a short roll which would end with her | |
| smacking her chin on the floor of the prison. Cherry would huff | |
| gently before pushing herself up into a sitting position, | |
| rubbing her chin gently and hugging the helmet close before | |
| looking to the rest of the people in the room, curling up | |
| lightly, her shark tail wrapping round her slightly. She wished | |
| she had been as fast as Gust was so she could be getting food | |
| with him instead of being here... Wherever here was. | |
| "[sub]W... What's going on? What is this?" She would ask | |
| softly... There where a lot of kids here.. Had she been mistaken | |
| for a kid as well? Usually this would cause her to huff about | |
| being called short, but right now, she was too confused and | |
| rather afraid to be huffy. | |

| Kapral accepted Marver's embrace and gave a sigh of relief that | |
| she had someone here that was protecting her. Though she could | |
| still feel the magic being drained from her body and was | |
| becoming weak physically she stayed mentally strong thanks to | |
| both Marver and the thought of her family. It seemed like the | |
| room had stopped, seeing as one of the were beasts had decided | |
| it was safe to open the door. Kapral lay still among the other | |
| monsters, gasping slightly as she began to recover from being | |
| drained. It was after a few seconds that she had the energy to | |
| notice that Cherry was now with them. The small goat looked | |
| sadly at the newcomer and started to explain. | |
| "This place... it eats up your magic until you fall apart" the | |
| little goat whimpered. "The walls are scary". | |

| By: Red Date: March 21, 2017, 3:01 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Red was calm. | |
| A young woman was lead into the room with a blue stag beetle | |
| child, he looked about ten years old. She was eighteen. As they | |
| walked, the child clung to her leg. Both of them looked like | |
| they had been to hell and back. Cuts, scrapes, dirt, and | |
| finally, dust. The boy was also injured, beneath his shell | |
| flaps, were nothing but stubs of what used to be budding wings. | |
| The girls curly hair did a great job of covering her eyes. | |
| They had tried to take everything from her. She was barefoot, | |
| missing her hood and cape, and all her supplies and weapons had | |
| been striped from her. All she had left was the boy, and a | |
| burning desire to kill every last Koray she set her eyes on. | |
| These were the eyes of Undyne's apprentice, Red Slicing Hood. | |
| As they were pushed into the room, Red turned towards the Koray | |
| who had prodded them, and locked eyes with it. She thought she | |
| saw a flinch. | |
| "....." | |
| With that, they were sealed once more into the enchanted prison. | |
| Immediately Red felt a wave of fatigue bear down on her. She | |
| looked around almost frantically for the source, but to no | |
| avail. She watched as Stanley nearly fell to his knees as he | |
| cried out in pain and weariness. Something was wrong. | |
| "Miss Red... it hurts." He cried out. | |
| Red's eyes darted across the room, examining the piles of | |
| children scurrying to survive. She fought the urge to cry out in | |
| shock, but she couldn't give them the satisfaction. Fresh dust | |
| was in the air, she saw the remains of the children who had just | |
| passed literally crumbling from a body to dust. She couldn't | |
| help it, tears flowed down her cheeks as she witnessed this, | |
| "Oh my god...." she whispered to herself, attempting to suck it | |
| up. | |
| This was evil. She always knew darkness had existed in this | |
| world, but to see it first hand, and at the expense of the young | |
| and innocent, one surely could not believe horrible things like | |
| this could really happen, could they? It was foolish to think | |
| that everyone was capable of empathy, or even mercy. | |
| "....I will kill them all." She practically choked, her eyes | |
| shaking with innate frustration and rage. | |
| When she saw the Dragonness, her heart nearly skipped a beat. | |
| Marver , the former Royal Blacksmith's sister was here too!? | |
| "Marver!" she cried embracing her almost immediately, "It's | |
| Red... I'm here." It was so reassuring to see a friendly face. | |
| "What is this place? Why do I feel so drained? Are you okay? Are | |
| you hurt?" She looked over the Dragonness for any wounds of | |
| signs of decay. | |
| She looked to Kapral, she thought she had overheard the young | |
| kid mention something about the walls and magic. This filled her | |
| with fear. "How long has thus been going on? How long have you | |
| been here?" | |
| She looked around desperately for someone else she might have | |
| known, yet she felt her heart freeze as she looked to Cherry, | |
| and the helmet. | |
| The worst part of her was filled with dread, and fear. However, | |
| the better part of her knew to ask, and to remain hopeful. | |
| "Where and how did you get that?" She would ask Cherry quietly, | |
| pointing to the helmet. She prayed that her best friend and | |
| mentor was still alive. | |

| What Kapral said made Cherry clutch the helmet tighter, "B... | |
| But I don't have any magic! Well.. Not any that I'm aware of.." | |
| Yet, despite believing that she didn't, she still felt the | |
| weight of the room and draining feeling the walls where giving. | |
| "T.. This is awful! Who is responsible for this? Why are they | |
| doing this?" She would ask, trying to get to her feet. | |
| There where so many kids... All piled up in the center of the | |
| room to be as far away from the walls as they possibly could... | |
| This was disgustingly cruel.. It was hard to witness. Not just | |
| that but she was also in there with them, being drained as well. | |
| What of, she didn't know. | |
| Cherry would watch as two more where brought in, Red and | |
| Stanley. Looks like these people where still capturing people | |
| and bringing them in here to be drained dry of their magic. | |
| Red seemed to know one of the people in here, and began asking | |
| things of her own, some of the questions Cherry wanted to know | |
| herself. | |
| When she was addressed, Cherry would look at the helmet in her | |
| hands, before looking back at Red, "Undyne gave it to me after | |
| coming to my home village after the children in our village had | |
| gone missing. She asked me to look after it for her... I was on | |
| my way to find her and return it, when I was dragged here" | |
| Cherry would look away, staring at the floor for a few moments | |
| before back at Red. "Do you know what's going on? Do you know | |
| who's brought us all here?" She would ask, resting the helmet on | |
| her knees after she sat back down again, before then resting her | |
| chin atop the helmet, wishing she was as brave and as strong as | |
| Undyne was so that maybe she could help these poor kids... | |
| Believing you weren't strong or brave enough won't get you | |
| anywhere though! Cherry would look around the walls and around | |
| the entrance which they'd came into the room by. "There must be | |
| someway out of here" She would say aloud. There must be | |
| something they could do, anything.. right? | |
