Now that you all have agreed to fight with Master, all that was left was to wait for her to come back. You didn't wait for long, it only took her a couple of minutes to get back with a huge bag in hand. She slowly placed it on the ground in front of you and opened it. She took out four katanas and looked at all of you. Suddenly the door above opened and closed and you could hear a voice you heard before.
Doc: "Master~ I'm back~!"
Master: "I'm in the basement with everyone!"
She took two katanas to herself and gave one to Mya and the other one to the cat girl. While she did that the doc got downstairs and stopped to look at what is going on.
Master: "Before you start asking, I want you to take your weapons and prepare for a fight, I'll explain when I'm done here."
The happy face that the doctor was wearing changed into a serious one and with a nod she left the room. Your master took out small blades, daggers and throwing knives and gave them to each of you.
Bunny girl: "But how are we supposed to use these? I don't have any experience and I doubt that the others have it."
Master: "I'll train you right here and now."
Bunny girl: "But it's impossible to learn how to use these weapons in one day and you said we don't have much time."
Master: "We got a few hours or maybe less."
Grace: "I think your overreacting, we can all use a dagger but the throwing knives..."
Bunny girl: "Well sure, we can attack but what about dodging or blocking their attacks?"
Master: "Who said that you will have to attack them instantly? We will wait for the perfect opportunity to attack, and throwing knives aren't that hard to learn, it will only take you a few minutes to learn with my technique."
Once she showed you how to hold it, it was time to practice actually throwing them at a target. The target you had to throw at was your master. Everybody hesitated but after convincing you all that there is less and less time you had to do it.
Mya: "I'll go first then."
She stepped in front of everyone and looked master in the eyes.
Mya: "Since you said it will be fine, I will trust you... But if you get hurt because of me...."
Master: "I won't get hurt and even if you hurt me, it would be my fault for asking you to do it."
Mya relaxed, then threw her knife and everyone stared in aww as your master caught the knife right before it hit her in the head. She lowered the knife and started walking towards Mya, when she got close enough she placed her hand on her head and started petting her.
Master: "That was perfect! Good job Mya."
Mya's tail started moving from side to side happily as your master turned her head to your side.
Master: "Who's next?"
Everyone had to throw a knife at her even if they really didn't want to but they knew that this was something they couldn't say no to. Some did perfectly on their first try and did worse on the second try but got better with each throw but you on the other hand had trouble with it, for some reason it was hard for you to do it the right way. The knife would hit the target but not the way you wanted it to.
*30 minutes later*
Master: "You don't concentrate enough,
I had that same problem when I first did it too, if I gave you time which we don't have, you would probably be as good at this as me."
Isabella: "As good as you?"
Didn't everyone already do it perfectly?
she places a hand on your head and smiles warmly.
Master: "Well, you guys get back into your cells and hide those weapons."
Everyone takes their weapons and gets back into their cells while your master goes back upstairs. You jump into your bed and close your eyes to focus on what will happen next.
Grace: "You're not scared are you?"
Isabella: "No, m-maybe just a little, it's our first time doing this after all."
Grace: "Did you forget what they did to you?"
Isabella: "No, I just don't want to be like them."
Grace: "All of us who are here suffered a lot, but here you are still thinking of forgiving them.... *sigh* Listen, I care about everyone who are showing kindness or are slaves like we were, you're a really nice girl but I don't want you to get hurt because of the way you are thinking... eheh sorry, I really want to take my revenge on them, you should stay the way you are, I'm not gonna make decisions for you, I just want you to make the right decision and not feel bad about it later on."
Suddenly you hear someone kick down the door from above and many people rushing in. You jump out of the bed and notice that everyone have heard it too. You then hear slow footsteps coming downstairs to the basement, by what you could guess it was about 6 people coming downstairs which only meant that the person your master feared was here already. A few more steps and 6 men walked in, one of them was leading them from the front. The men behind him are wearing heavy armour as if they expected resistance. The person leading them is wearing black clothes and a white mask, the mask was formed in a cat like face which looked a little funny. The men behind him stopped and let the white masked person get a good look around.
The masked person walked past everyone slowly checking them out as if they were on sale. When he walked past you you noticed that it was a she, her breasts were pretty small but got more visible only when she got close. You heard a snicker, it was coming from Grace's side and when you turned to the side from where it was coming from you saw that it was Grace giggling about something. The woman walked over to her cell and turned to face her.
???: "And what's so funny to you?"
The calm feminine voice asks.
Grace: "What's up with that mask, pffft are you planning on becoming a clown?"
???: "My mask? It helps me find disrespectful people or slaves like you and teach them a lesson."
Grace doesn't stop giggling though and you could sense irritation in the woman's voice.
???: "I don't play nice with my pets, so laugh... While you can."
Grace: "And what are you gonna do? Make me wear that same ridiculous mask or maybe tell me a funny joke?"
Before the woman could answer, four people started walking downstairs. When they got down, you noticed that your master is being lead by 3 men behind her but her hands weren't tied.
???: "So you came willingly, thought you would fight against us... What a disappointment."
Grace: "You would have lost anyway, so because we're so nice, we decided to give up."
???: "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Grace: "I think it's the other way around."
Grace walks closer to the cell door with a big smile.
???: "You want to die that badly?"
Grace: "I'm not going to die, atleast not today."
???: "I see, I guess I should cut your tongue off if you are so talkative."
Grace turns around and goes back to her bed.
Grace: "Well, I'll be waiting~"
The woman only touched the cell door and it opened.
???: "Unlocked? This makes things much more easier and fun."
