Chapter 4: Violet Uprising
Cold steel smacked the beautiful young heroine in the face as she bounced headfirst off the wall of her holding cell. Depleted, she slid down to her knees to be enveloped by the shadow of her attacker, standing proudly hands on hips in the light of the open doorway.
"We've been at this for two weeks now and you've not managed to land a single blow" Jade Fox gleefully hissed. "If destroying you Foxes weren't so easy, I
might
take some satisfaction from it!"
Under the Asian villainess' piercing gaze, Violet Fox grimaced as she fought to stay conscious, trembling as she held naked body. "Y-you haven't defeated us yet, Jade...th-the Institute will c-come for us..."
"I sincerely doubt that. Even if those bureaucrats knew where to find you, they'd just as soon write you off as an 'acceptable loss.'"
From behind Violet's mussed brunette locks her eyes filled with fury as she fired a look back at Jade. "You're wrong! We're not assets- we're
people
! We're not just
livestock
!"
"
Whatever helps you sleep at night, princess
. But as long as you're our guest here, you're
our
plaything. And you'll be serviced regularly to ensure we get the most use out of you," the evil Fox grinned, slightly turning her head at the 'click-clack' sound of stilettos on steel. "Speaking of which..."
From the light of the hallway a gorgeous, leggy figure stepped into the gloom of the holding cell. Pearl Fox stood there in the shadows- tall, proud, her immaculate white bustier, stockings, and arm-length gloves practically illuminating the darkness around her, a stark contrast with the coca hue of her flawless skin. Her hips pivoted sensuously, she held a black leather medical bag in her left hand.
"Looks like you gave her quite the going-over" Pearl mused aloud as her eyes flowed over the heroine still doubled over on the floor, her body riddled with evidence of Jade's sadistic expertise. "Keep this up and you won't leave me much to work with," she said, turning her attention to Jade "I'm not a
miracle worker
, you know!"
Annoyed, the Asian villainess peaked an eyebrow at her compatriot's chiding. "You know, Pearl; sometimes I think you're actually starting to
sympathize
with this little whore!"
A bemused smirk spread up Pearl's dark features, her glossy brown lips parting ever so slightly, revealing the barest glimpse of her sparkling canine teeth. "Don't be so rash, darling" she said playfully, her right hand reaching into her leather bag to emerge gripping a 10-inch dildo. "I just want you to leave me something to play with."
Jade's black eyes spied the rubber phallus, then locked gazes with Pearl before allowing herself a smile. Crossing her arms, the evil Foxes' martial artist stepped around Pearl and made her way out the doorway.
"You're not going to stay?" Pearl said disappointedly, turning back to her departing colleague. "I thought you
liked
to watch."
"I've found
other
ways to amuse myself" chimed Jade Fox before disappearing around the doorway, the hatch sliding shut behind her. Satisfied that her fellow villainess was now contented to enamour herself with what remained of Silver Fox, she replaced the dildo in her bag and swiftly turned to attend the fallen heroine.
Quickly fetching a small cup of Butterscotch Fox's milk from her bag, Pearl brought the cup to the quivering lips of Violet Fox who drank it eagerly, the warm white fluid running messily down her chin before being brushed off her chest and sucked off her fingertips. Her breath and heart rate calmed as the wholesome milk worked its restorative magic on her battered body, and Violet picked her head up to look her accomplice in her warm, brown eyes.
"I'm alright." She assured Pearl, her voice quaking, "I'm alright..." Despite her brave face, Pearl saw Violet's distress, and put her arm around the heroine's waist, steadying her as they gently sat on the prison cot.
"You can't keep this up" said Pearl, "We need to speed up our timetable...if we're going to move against Vanessa, we need to do it
now
."
"But you said that most of the Foxes are still loyal to Vanessa. How do we beat those odds?"
"By thinning them out. We have to get a message to the Institute, inform them of our location. When they send in reinforcements, we'll be able to take out the others while they're outmatched."
Violet's brow furrowed. She knew that Pearl was taking a big enough risk as it was, but a communiqué could be traced, and her exposure would mean certain death. "Are you sure you can risk it?"
Pearl bowed her head. After a long silence, she looked back at Violet intently. "
We have no choice
. If we don't stop Vanessa now, then it'll be too late! You have no idea what she has planned- it's
horrible
! Superheroines imprisoned, tortured,
brainwashed
! I can't let that happen-
I won't
! But there's a problem..."
"
What problem
?"
"All communications in and out of this facility are monitored. If we even tried to call the Institute the transmission would be intercepted and Vanessa would be alerted. We need to signal the Institute without raising the alarm." Pearl's silken white glove took Violet's hand in her own as the villainess looked pleadingly into Violet's eyes. "Is there any way to alert your people? A beacon? A distress call? Anything!"
Violet's eyes looked down for an instant while she considered, and then returned her gaze to Pearl and with conviction said "
My belt
. There's a hidden transmitter in the belt of my uniform. I installed it myself, so it's not standard issue and Vanessa wouldn't expect it. If you activate it, it will send an SOS back to the Institute, and reinforcements will be en route within the hour."
Pearl's eyebrows rose slightly at the heroine's ingenuity, yet her face remained stoic and deadly serious. "It could work" mused Pearl, "Vanessa has neglected to examine your uniforms in lieu of Butter's, but she still has them locked up in her laboratory. Are you sure that's the only way? You have no other way of alerting the authorities?"
