The Battle of Undertow was an incredibly ssy affair.
Due to the battlefield being an entire city, and with the number of forces involved numbering in about four in total, casualties and prisoners of war were to be expected.
While most of the regular warriors were nothing to write ho about, a cowardly Acolyte here and an injured Aether Master there, there were three prisoners of note that just so happened to be of particular interest to not only the people of Undertow, but to the warriors of the Zhen Clan and the forces of the Kaijn Lord.
And as luck would have it, all three would get a crack at the captured Grafted warriors, especially since those aforntioned forces were essentially just one big interconnected force anyways.
Which is why, all three of the captured Grafted warriors were currently locked away in a cell designed to contain [Chaos] wielders, waiting for the arrival of their interrogators.
Well... two interrogators, and an observer.
...
’So how long until you guys can identify the grafted-on limbs of these assholes? Sothing about them is rubbing the wrong way...’
’Yeah, him.’
=It’ll take a few minutes due to their aether gunking up our whole identification process.=
’I suppose...wait a minute, I thought y’all had a vicious hate boner against Cornilues. Why the change in tune?’
’Fair.’
’I didn’t say shit.’
...
Zhen Xun Tian stated while staring into the eyes of the prisoners.
As far as she could tell, absolutely none of them seem to have lost their fighting spirit.
At this mont in ti, Zhen Xun Tian and Cornileus had been given the opportunity to interrogate the three Grafted warriors, Gao Su, Gao Kan and Gao Dau, after they had been recovered from the battlefield and placed into special containnt arrays designed to mitigate the flow of [Chaos].
Undertow still had its fair share of criminal and lawbreaking elents, so these special arrays were quite mandatory in preventing them from going wild and tearing the caverns apart.
Either way, since they had the ans of preventing these prisoners of war from going wild, it was ti to extract so pertinent information.
Of course, they made sure not to interrogate all three of them at once as to prevent coordination. Unfortunately, all three of them were as stubborn as mules.
In very different ways.
It should be noted that Zhen Xun Tian and Cornileus wanted to go straight to torture to get the information they needed, but a shared ally of both of them wanted to try and see if they could just get information via the art of diplomacy before doing anything with a heavier hand.
Allegedly.
In reality, Cornileus was aware the ga that this outsider observer was playing, and decided to play along. Because in his experience, that observer was accompanied by a pair of spirits that were smarter than all of them combined.
...Interrogation#1: Gao Su, the Screar...
"Why the fuck does he have a muzzle on his face?," Zhen Xun Tian asked Cornileus, in front of the aforntioned muzzled prisoner.
"He called himself Gao Su the Screar when he fought Hurricroak," Cornileus explained. "Apparently the grafted kaijin part gave him a voice laced with [Chaos], which he can weaponize to a surprisingly proficient degree."
"Okay...so are his hands unbounded?"
"He can’t throw a punch to save his life."
In response to this obvious insult, Gao Su presented a pair of birds to the interrogators.
"Lovely...wait, how are we suppose to get information from him?"
Without saying a word Cornileus produced a pen and paper for Gao Su to write with.
"Really?"
"Really."
Needless to say, this approach didn’t really work, especially after Gao Su had written the words, "Fuck You" in Tide script.
It took a few cleansing breaths before Zhen Xun Tian promised not to rip out the man’s throat.
...
’Okay, who is the source kaijin here?’
’Decibull?’
’Now I feel like you’re fucking with .’
=She’s not. Decibull and Operam were a pair of very loud kaijin brawlers who were the vanguard for Duke Discord back during the Enclave of Silence era.=
