In the far future a pair of friends are kidnapped on their way back to the Lunar Station by the warlord Fox and used by him to change a future war brewing. Ella and Ander along with Emilia are held captive and abused by Fox as he he opens their minds and bodies to the cruelty of war. ~~~ "Jackson..." The man behind the desk stood as they approached, his gaze flicking over each one of them in turn. It was a quick visual inspection, but it felt very thorough; Ella quailed a bit, automatically leaning towards Ander for comfort. He was already chafing at the bit, angling himself forward so that she was slightly behind him. The sharp jade eyes noted his movement and Ella wondered if Ander's obvious protectiveness had just helped or hurt them. The smile across Fox's face - she was sure it was Fox - wasn't at all reassuring. "So what have you brought me today? A present?" Fox's voice was low, gravelly, and almost hypnotically seductive. Ella frankly stared, shocked to hear such an appealing sound coming from the mouth of a man who was completely physically intimidating. "You did say you wanted a replacement for Izzy soon," Jackson said, his voice indifferent. The big man didn't seem at all intimidated by Fox, although something about his stance said that he respected the other man a great deal. "Mm... I could be persuaded to take a blonde... it would make a contrast from Abby," Fox said, “Then again, it has been a while since I've had a couple." "We're not a couple!" Ella blurted out.
