Chapter 7
Spider looked back and forth at the two groups of sligs on either side of him, his tail twitching nerviously. For the first time in a long time he was afraid, and he was desperately trying not to show it. The BBS noticed it though.
"What's the matter? Frightened?" The BBS teased, "Now yer know how the rest of us felt. Now yer going to be put back in yer proper place."
Spider narrowed his eyes at that comment. "Over my dead body.." he sneered.
"Oh ya can talk, didn't know that." the BBS laughed, "We don't intend to kill yer, just make yer a proper employee."
"Proper employee?" Spider raised a brow, "Yer don't know nothin' 'bout me do yer? Yer don' know of the pain and suffering I had to endure before. The injections, the tests..," he shuddered at the memory, "Sure they may make me do 'some' work fer them, but the main reason they want me so bad is because they want ter rediscover the formula my father used ter create me! And do yer know what that means? More tests! More experaments! All they see me as is one gaint fuzzle ter do as they wish ter me! My father," he had to choke back a sob, "Saw me as more then that, he showed me that there was more ter life then that of a lab animal. They killed him because of that. And I will avenage him!"
"Pretty speech," the BBS sneered, "But it does ya no good here, yer will be taken back. Get him!'
"I will not go down without a fight..." Spider growled as the other sligs advanced on him. He charged one, knocking him off his feet and drove one of his spider-like legs through his chest.
"Don't get close to 'em yer idiots!" he heard the BBS bellow.
"And what about yer?" Spider growled as he slashed the BBS across the face with his claws.
The BBS howled in pain and rammed into Spider, causing him to stagger back a bit. Spider was about to charge the BBS when he felt something grab ahold of his tail.
"Yer think yer so smart don' yer?" Spider snarled at the slig holding his tail. He spun around so quickly that the slig couldn't hold on. He raised a fist to strike the slig, but a rope was suddened lassoed around it. Then another got his other hand before he could free himself from the first. Several sligs held on to the ends of each rope until a BBS was able to grab it. They held them taught, keeping Spider's hands far apart where he couldn't reach the ropes holding them.
Spider thrashed against the ropes holding him, howling in fury. The surrounding sligs all keeping a safe distance as the threw more ropes around him and and the BBS's held the ends, keeping them pulled taunt, keeping him in one place and from charging any of them. He struggled, but to no avail. Finally, exhausted, he stopped. He panted heavily as he glared at his captors. With cordinated effort the BBS's all pulled to one side, causing him to topple over. He was too weak and exhausted to try anything as they removed his pants and tied him up with chains. He did snap at the sligs who were trying to put a muzzle on him, causing them to jump back briefly. But with persistence they got it on him. Then they proceded to drag him uncermonisously down the corridor.
Tears welled up in his eyes as he knew his chances of becoming free again were slim...
