Futility...

He gritted his teeth and pulled his body off the ground. The numbness was restricting his strength, but at least he still is conscious. Enough wallowing, I have to act. I'll make up for all the wrongs. I MUST! Malix raised his head to the oncoming footsteps. THUD!

A hand pulled Malix's hair. Another gripped him by the jaws and raised his head. The burning sensation in his nose is slowly nulled by the numbness. A girl was screaming in front of him. At the same time, the blurred image was speaking. His mind was still blank, trying to figure out what is happening.

"You should wake up by now." The voice boomed. Everything switched back on, and Malix was shocked to see Pepper's blouse torn terribly. The red guy was the one holding his head, smirking at him. The shock on Malix's face widened the grin even more. Bursting into laughter, he slapped Malix's face haughtily. Each slap sent waves of pain through Malix's neck. He could have gotten an injured spine with a kick of that power. Inhaling deeply, he closed his eyes and bit his lower lip.

Pepper's shout broke his concentration. The guy in red had walked over to Pepper. Malix's eyes followed the guy's right arm, raising up, and swinging across Pepper's face. SLAP! Pepper's blood trickled down her chin. The knife hit the ground in front of Malix. Seems like Pepper saved him from a serious attack. But the switch of attention got her back into trouble.

With swift actions, the guys tore Pepper's tattered blouse and tied up her arms and legs. Pepper kept her cool, silently glaring at the guy holding Malix. However, Malix could barely keep sane. Bursting into movement, the guy's loose grip allowed Malix to take a few steps forward. That was before he slumped into the ground. His whole back was unresponsive, it was almost impossible to get his body upright.

The red guy hopped back over to pick up the knife. "Now, for the bottom." He remarked, glancing over his shoulder at Malix. Malix's eyes dilated as he let out a piercing scream.
