It was desperately cold inside the escape pod even though the pod had basic heating to keep the cold darkness of space and yet they were unable to keep out the frosty nip. the humming of the engines assured him that he was on a ship but these never sounded like Bretonian made vessel being more of a Banshees scream which soon died down to nothing being replaced by the sound of tapping on the ground as some one came towards him, for him,

"Still alive I hope, would be a bit depressing to have you to die so soon, I at least wanted to get to know you and have some fun before your eyes glaze."

Jason lay with a increasingly rapid moving heart beat "No... No.. I can't have been captured." He feared this when he fought the Phantom in order to save the BMM transport that was under fire from him.

His heart started to make a double tap, -Dum dum- -Dum dum- and continued that way. Then Jason remembered, he had saved Sarah, and his heart slowed down, he felt how his heart relaxed, his pulse slowing down and in his mind he felt at peace. Even if he was captured, she was safe. There was tapping on the pods outer shell for a while as the silence dragged on the young man who had just claimed his victem saw his two little pets coming his way one being a black canine type wolf looking creature and the other one looking like a panther.

"Hmmm they are hungry, don't go anywhere."

Shortly after he'd hear screaming of a lady as snarls and growling came from out side but then soon dying to nothing with the sounds of bones being crushed.

"You know I think you and that other lady should be together..... she looked nice some what desirable.... and now vulnerable ... what would you say to seeing her again, Jason was it... you never stayed in the Patriot long enough for me to talk to you."

Jason looked at the direction from where the sound came and he said in a dangerous tone

"You where in the Patriot?"

He thought back to the people he had seen, it was the Bounty Hunter, not him, the strange woman with the cube, not her, a BAF officer, couldn't been him, right? And then he thought back and tried to remember more. There was a young man, sitting alone in a corner, staring.

"Is that you kid? Are you.. A Phantom?"

He began to move around in the pod, wanting to get out of there and hit the kid, and then he remembered. He was a Phantom, an advanced human. A murderer, what could he do against him? He had also heard animal noises, what was the Phantom doing? He would hear nothing for a while as the sounds of eating being heard along with the scraping of the metal as the woman's life came to a end with his 'pets' feeding on her, soon he'd feel a jolt as a piece of metal from the pods exterior dented inwards.

"Don't ever call me kid and unfortunately for us both yes I am, tell me do you like the scream of the engines because for some odd reason now I do."

He would push the pod onto its side making it less comfortable for him.

"I wonder if Sarah.... I think that's way the stupid doctor said he name was....... Wonder how old she is."

Jason where in shock, it was the kid. He had him sitting in their bar, a Phantom, and what was worse, he knew of Sarah.

"What the hell do you want?!"

He screamed, he felt a pang of remorse about not feeling sad for himself, he knew he was either getting killed, tortured or worse... Used..

"What is you want from me!?"
He knew that if he could get out, he could try to escape, somehow. There would be dead silence for a while before the sound of scraping being head on the outside of the pod before what looked like a little back knifes point breached the wall of the escape pod letting more cold in as well as the smell of blood.

"My pets get hungry so I must feed them..... and maybe just to have a little fun since the old me is gone.... I would like to play on Sarah's feeling ohhh how bad she must feel being all alone with out her errr boyfriend."

He started to sob quietly, he didn't know what to do..

He said in a low voice "She is my sister.. And please.. Please.. Don't touch her.."

He began to try to move around a little, but couldn't move at all. He would cut the pod door open as he let her out.

"Your sister... and to think I was threatening to kill her and other nasty things as I told your friends..... this changes things."

He'd pull Jason out and throw him to the ground then move and sit on top of the pod putting two swords on his back as he threw him a warm coat. The coldness would hit him like a sucker punch to the face with it almost feeling like he was stabbing in snow, he'd be able to see two creatures guarding the only door out. He quickly looked up at the man and at the door, the creatures and knew that he had no where to run, he took the coat and put it on, he felt the cold, he felt how he began to shiver, he pulled to coat on himself as he slowly steadily stood up, he looked at the kid and said, as he tried to keep his calm.

"Don't touch my sister... Please.. Do what you want with me, interrogate me, torture me, kill me, just don't touch her.."

He looked at the kid's features trying to see a sign of emotion. His emotions would be close his face seeming to give off happiness as if he was enjoying it but if he'd off looked at his hands they were clenched tightly as if angry having both feelings conflict him as the old version of him tried to keep dominance but it had failed to.

"She will be toyed with I can assure you that, along with your torture as for killing and interrogation well... you have nothing I want."

his eyes would be a deep black as he faced him wearing nothing but a singlet with a something over his back, with out the folds on he'd look no older then his sister. Jason's face contorted to anger as he lunched himself at the kid, he had his hands forward as to strangle the boy.

"DON'T TOUCH MY SISTER!!"

Jason was no fighter in hand to hand, but when it came to those he loved, he would not stop for anything.. The young boy would come from his porch and meet him half way his strength over powering and his technique heavily refined to be strong and swift as he picked him up off the ground and slammed him against the wall, then turning a elbow to hit him in the face.

"I will do as I please, but if shes your sister then no physical harm will become of her... at least I still can choose that.... Least I still have that freedom."

He let go of Jason and moved back trying to restrain his self and resist, he was a skilled fighter and killer and was trained to be a assassin for the Order but strangely enough now he was the Phantom's pawn. Jason breathed heavily as he tried to restrain himself as well, he was mad and frustrated, but also very confused, was the kid fighting himself? Why did he now promise not to hurt Sarah.

"Can I ask your name..."

He was hoping for some kind of emotional response, even if Jason was no psychiatrist he still had a talent with people. Chris just punished the escape pod again as if trying to get rid of any sadistic tendency he had, but it didn't work he had to do it on people or it just got worse and he hated the feeling.

"Christopher."

He would turn to sit back on the pod sitting on where the dent now was as if trying to hide it.

"In the end your sister will save you, but first she must watch you suffer." He sighed.

Jason looked down at first, trying to make sense of all of this, then he decided that if he was to be this kid's.. Torture object, or worse, he rather know who'd be his torturer.. Jason often in the past reacted this way when faced with only one road.

"Christopher.. Why do you do this?"

He was hoping for a humane or at least sane response, perhaps if he pushed him a little the kid would actually talk to him, at least, he could try to save the boy's mind. Even if it would cost him his own life, Jason knew that life, no matter who's life was important.

Chris just shake his head slightly. "Because just like you.... I am in your situation but worse.... you have a escape...... that would be your sister."

He would sigh slightly as he pulled out a pistol from his holster observing it then at him.

"Do you want to die and leave your sister alone."

Jason looked at the kid, he blinked, so he was forced into this... He wasn't like this, perhaps he was like this, but not like -this-. He knew that what ever he'd say he'd be making it worse.

"Would you leave her alone? Would you leave her alone if you killed me now? Cause if you would, I would say yes. But if you want us together here, for some reason, for some reason I can not understand.. "

But he knew, that somewhere within him, he wanted nothing else then to torture Jason in front of Sarah, somehow he knew that he wanted both broken. He would stair at him for a moment.

"No.... I would not... but if shes here it will grant at least a small bit of mercy from my side.... and you both will live... if not." He trails off. "I must Break you physically and what I may do would break her mentally."

He would fire a shot off at the woman's half eaten corpse. "I don't feel remorse or sorrow for killing people I don't know."

He moved as the kid show the corpse, Jason almost felt sick to the stomach as he looked at the woman. He then looked at Christopher and said as calmly as he could.

"What have you planned?"

He would shake his head. "If I think it.... It will happen.... I've always been... had a dark side... but I could contain it...... most of the time."

He shakes his head as he whistled and the creatures went back to feeding. He slowly walked to Jason and looked him in the eye as if measuring him up.

"How long you last will determine on whether you live or die.... I suggest you don't try show strength do not hide the pain do you understand me?"

He'd look him dead in the eye. "If I could stop what is to happen I would."

Looks down and tries to think this trough, all and all, he knew that what would happen will break him.

"What's next?"

Jason would just hear a gun fire as a hope burning sensation goes through his teigh. Chris had just shot him in the leg with out warning and there was no emotion on his face the look of his eyes would be black.

"We Begin Jason we Begin."

Jason writhed in pain as he bled out of his leg, he didn't know what to do, he just lay there and whimpered, tears going down his cheek. He thought of Sarah, and what Christopher would do to her if he ever got to her..

He wasn't going to give up.. He couldn't..

He was silent and simply lay there.
