The prison was horrible. Leroy took the bile covered key and slotted it into his handcuffs easily allowing them to turn and fall to the ground quickly. He could feel any amount of stamina that had been taken from him. Come. back to his body I taken a breath of fresh air in a field of grass. Greener than any moss
There was this stench in the air. It wasn't even like as if it were death or decay, but just…Stagnation, like smelling still water that had been sitting around for too long or walking into a room that had had nobody within it for months at a time
Another problem came quite quickly as Leroy turned around. The gates keyhole would not fit the same multi-threaded and toothed Key that sea prism cuffs used. That much was obvious. Cuffs were standardized. But they'd probably thought exactly of this.
Leroy thought to himself. 'This is there house. Probably have a game plan all figured and polished out…' He walked up to the bars and gripped them. They felt cold. But were not made of Sea Stone. Rather made of a tough steel alloy. 350% higher tensile strength that normal steel.
His eyes wandered. The walls. The slits for the guards to look out of. Part of him wanted to just stop. Sit down. And accept the fate that he was being dealt. He thought about Kirk. Noir. Two people he was so close to. Perhaps in their own ways his closest confidants. He wandered what he'd do with out them.
The guidance of a Navigator. The ear of a cook. Could he really be so certain that everything was going to turn out well. That he could just take at gut instinct that they would be okay. He trusted his crew…But he had seen them get decimated.
Leroy put his head against the Bars. Hards gripping the steel as he thought. What if. Right now. Their bodies were lied out across some island out there. Bleeding. Dying. Their last breathes leaving their bodies…Kale. Calliope. Eddie. Raven. Jeanne. Dezzi.
What if he succeeded. And he was the only one left? That he 'd have to continue on with his brother into the New World with only each other…
Tears welled in his eyes as he sat there. Listening to the sirens song of the prisoners around.
His teeth grit…And he slammed his head against the bars as tears flowed. His words muttering to himself. "Fuck…! What am supposed to do now…After I do this…Then what? I've failed them…All of them. By my own fucking hand!" His hands gripped and crushed the bars.
"Just go. Just go! Just fuckin…GO!" He said as he ripped the bars from the wal causing quite the crater in the wall. So much so that 5 other cells exploded open as he heaved the multi ton bars over head and hurled them through the air! Smashing into one of the guard stations with an explosion of sparks and fire!
"Just go! Don't stop! Don't ever fucking stop!" He said as if like a Mantra "Just go. Go Go. Go!" His feet pattered across the ground again and again. Guards began to shout trying to regain their composition! Many getting rifles!
"Warden Dante! A prisoner has escaped!" A guard yelled into a radio. A Gruff voice on the other side shouting back "Crush him! Don't let him get far!"
"Yessir! Should we Initiate Arcanis Claustrum Protocol? If it gets to bad we made need to use Procedure Bastile! Terrar or Arbiters could handle thi-" The man began to speak "No! We do not need to waste resources on a break out in Bliss. If it gets to bad. I'll handle execution myself! Whose the Prisoner!"
The guard peaked out from the window, only slightly…Right as Leroy slung a rock through the Air! And smashed into the window! Sending him flying back! "Falcon D. Leroy!"
"Red Sash has Escaped!"
Leroy continued to run….Thinking. 'Distractions…I need distractions…These minds. These voices…I can hear them in my mind! Those in chains right there…I can feel that they've done no wrong…' He said as he felt a strange pang in his heart. And in a blur, he used his hand to slice through their chains! Freeing hundreds of them in a moment as he appeared in the middle of the room! High in the air!
"Guillotine!" He smashed through the ground revealing the elevator shaft! Lights illuminating his face as they passed over him in strips of tan ugly yellow light
"Shut down the main Shaft! He must be trying to reach the bottom!" A guard yelled, one in armor and a helmet with a black visor and blue markings on the front. The sides covering his ears "Who knows why!"
"At that speed he's already Reached Level three! He passed the holding intermediary containment and is at Asphodel!" Leroys eyes widened as Huge Thick metal closed the Shaft! The Entire walls closing in!
He landed on the black surface that read 'CONTAINMENT' on the front
"The entire shaft must be filled…Meaning that the only way to get out of here is to find another way down…" He said looking the side where the gate to the opened into a…Field? Leroy couldn't see the Horizon. And it was the sky seemed like…A sky! Figures wandered the fields of sparse trees. It was…Neutral.
The Asphodel Meadows. Where those with the biggest of ambitions, but not the bounty or strength to back it up are kept. The Neutrality and Passivity is their punishment…
