=====================================================================

Lucy let out a loud clamor, her head snapping to the side as Rander stood over her, his arm poised from slapping her.  She was currently in Morgan's office, which had strangely turned into nothing but a twisted cavern that extended up as far as Lucy's eyes could see.  She was bound by her wrists by large iron shackles, and her arms were slumped in exhaustion.

Just a little bit longer...

Morgan wasn't there; just Rander.  Vesper and Theer—who had appeared only yesterday—were guarding the premises.  The members of Shadow Paradox were occupying the lower half of the building, using it as their new guild.  Lucy saw, as they had walked past the cell she had been in, that most of them had been severely injured.

Had Morgan done that?

Lucy's shoulders were shaking, but not from grief; from soreness.  Rander had been hitting, slapping, and sending bolts of electrocution through her for an hour now.  Lucy hated his guts; they had her now, but what did they plan to use her for?  Why torture her, when they knew—or thought—she wouldn't try to escape?  Morgan had a reason for keeping Lucy; for turning all of those Celestial Mages dark.  But, Lucy didn't known those reasons, and she clenched her teeth in frustration as the pain in her cheek dulled to a throbbing hum.

"This is starting to get boring,"  Rander replied, a plain expression on his face.

In a burst of anger, Lucy kicked her legs out from underneath her, knocking them into Rander's heels and making him collapse.  While in motion, Lucy jabbed her heel into Rander's face, feeling the bone snap underneath her foot.  With a wince, Lucy knew she had broken her heel, but her victory over breaking Rander's nose outweighed that pain.

"You bitch!"  Rander exclaimed, one hand clutching over his nose as the other slammed Lucy's head to the wall.  "You think you're going to get away with that?"

Lucy smirked, despite her situation.  "What's wrong, Rander?  Mad that I broke that big nose of yours?"

Lucy would have blown him away then and there, but her magic was restricted by the bounds she was captured in.  Rander, who sneered at her, slammed his fist into Lucy's stomach and caused her to fly forward from the impact.  All the air rushed from her lungs, and she cringed as a rib on her left side cracked.  Sweat was beading at the sides of Lucy's forehead, and when she finally could get her breath back, the broken rib jabbed pain at her lungs, causing her to wheeze.
