SUIKODEN 2 : GIRL ROBBERS STRIKE BACK

 

 

Chapter 4

 

 

The deep forests surrounding the city of Greenhill has been quite untouched ever since the Dunan Unification War ended. No people ever passed there, only animals. In a pond near there, a girl was seen bathing. She was known as the Forest Protector, Ayda. She usually hanged around the forests within the Forest Village northwest of Greenhill. But, she was on an errand in Greenhill and decided to take a bath before she returned. After minutes passed, she came out of the pond, and equipped herself with her green bandanna and her usual yellow outfit. However, she noticed something that seemed to be amiss...

 

 

"Where's my bow...?" Ayda mumbled in confusion, noticing that her bow, her weapon of choice, was missing. She was sure that she put the bow near her clothes, but who could have stolen it ? Desperately, Ayda went deeper to the forests of Greenhill, but eventually, she came face to face with a certain man in red coloured robe.

 

 

"Hello there, girl..." The man greeted Ayda with a slightly sly voice. Immediately, Ayda grew suspicious on him and asked, "Who're you and what do you want ?" The man answered, "Well we'd like to have some fun with you..." "We... having fun ? I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry..." Ayda tried to cut off the conversation and went away at the same time, but she was suddenly grabbed from behind with someone. "Wha !? Let me go, you... Mmmph !" As she struggled, that someone who grabbed her from behind put a cloth covered with chloroform on her nose to her mouth. Eventually, Ayda fell unconscious.

 

 

The chloroform was a light one, as Ayda woke up in just several minutes. However, when she woke up, she was in a bit of predicatement. Her hands were bound behind her back, tied on her wrists and her elbows. Her legs were also tied on her ankles and between her knees. Not just that, her body was also tied on her shoulders, stomach and waist, between her breasts, binding her arms together with her body. And there were two ropes tied on her body forming a cross shape with its center on the center of her breasts. Her mouth was also gagged with a thick white cloth over her mouth and between the cloth and the mouth, a silver duct tape was placed on her mouth, creating a double layered gag. She later found out that her feet didn't touch the ground. But she was not hanging. Instead, she got a few extra ropes tied on her shoulders, waist, knees and ankles, tied to a tree, and she had a distance between her and the ground. In front of her was that man in red as well as a man in light blue/cyan robe.

 

 

"Feeling better ?" The man in red asked as Ayda struggled, although it resulted nothing. "Mmmmpphh ! Mmmmppphh !" she also hissed under her gag, but nothing came out but muffled voices. "Well the fun has just begun..." The man in cyan said as he pulled out an axe. Ayda became shocked. She loves the forest and if someone tied her up here and pulled out an axe, that could only mean one thing, this man was about to cut down some trees and she mostly hate that !

 

 

"Mmmmppphh !! Mmmmppphh !! Mmmmppphh !! Mmmmppphh !!" Ayda screamed under her gag, pleading them not to cut the trees, but the man in cyan ignored her and started chopping down the tree where Ayda was tied, from the front side of her. Eventually, the man in red also pulled an axe and started chopping at the same direction. "Mmmmmmppphhhh...." Ayda began to cry, as she couldn't stand seeing the forest being cut down and she couldn't do anything.

 

 

Eventually, the tree was about to collapse. Both men stepped back, and forming horns with their hands, they yelled, "TIMBEEEERRRR !!!" And with the yell, the tree started collapsing to the ground, taking Ayda for the ride, who let out a muffled scream, "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPHHH !!!" . There was nothing behind the tree, just plains, so the tree hit the ground immediately. And then, the men approached Ayda and untied her from the tree, but nothing else.

 

 

"Bet that was fun, huh ? Let's do it again next time !" The man in red taunted her, and Ayda's expression became an angry expression, and she cursed behind her gag, "Mmmmppphhh !!!" But, no matter how much she struggled and moaned, the men ignored her as they carry her somewhere within the forest...

The last thing that was remembered by Mayor Teresa Wisemail was her at the office, considering about the position of the President of Dunan Republic that was proposed to her. She was still thinking about it when suddenly she felt like a mosquito bit her, but she slowly felt dizzy and eventually fell unconscious.

 

 

When Teresa woke up, she was no longer in her office. Instead, she was inside a hut, the same hut she used to hide during the Highland Invasion at the period of Dunan Unification War. But she was not on her bed. Instead, she was tied up in the same treatment as Ayda was, without the gag, but the difference is she was tied on a chair, with some ropes binding her shoulders, stomach and ankles to the chair. In front of her was a man with orange robe. He looked a bit pissed off.

 

 

"Who... are you ? And why are you tying me up like this ?" Teresa asked the man, but he started shaking, signing that he's pissed off. "Why do I tie you up like this ? I have a reason ! Tell me where you locked my companion !!" Teresa was shocked. In her career as a mayor, she never took anyone into custody for any reasons. But there comes this guy, who were falsely accusing her...

 

 

"Listen, I never..." Teresa tried to reason him, but the man moved his head in front of hers and screamed, "TELL ME WHERE HE IS !! OR ELSE...!" "I didn't... Mmmmph !!" Teresa's words were cut off as the man quickly put a silver duct tape on her mouth. The man then pulled out a book, which happened to be Teresa's diary where she wrote all her schedules. "You won't tell, so I'll do this !" The man said as he pulled a feather pen and began writing something on it. Eventually, he showed Teresa his creation... various clumsy scribbles, and some of them just embarassed Teresa, as her face was drawn carelessly in there, with no artistic sense, but insulting sense.

 

 

"MMMMMPPHH !!" Teresa was pissed off, but her struggle didn't do any good on the ropes that tied her. The man approached her and asked again, "Now will you tell me where my companion is !? He wears the same robe like me, just gray colored !". Teresa was obviously clueless, so she showed a clueless face and shook her head, and tried to say 'No', but what came out was, "Mmmmmfff..."

 

 

"Then I think this will make you talk !" The man said as he pulled another book. Teresa was shocked... it was the document about the proposal to become the President ! Although she was still considering the proposal, she knew that it cannot fall to the wrong hands. She was even more shocked when the man moved the document close to a candle. "Mmmmmpphh !!!" Teresa pleaded the man to stop burning it, but the man just replied, "Tell me where my companion is, or else...!"

 

 

"Mmmmm..." Teresa tried to speak quite loudly, and eventually, her force on her mouth tore off the gag, as she said, "I didn't capture anyone !!" Just then, a knock was heard, as well as a voice, "You there, bro ??". The man then put the document in a safe place and opened the door. It's another man in the same dress as him, just grey colored. "Hey ! You got me worried ! Where were you !?" The man in orange asked, and the man in grey replied, "I was preparing these chairs... they will come here soon... and all is fair in restraining, right ?"

 

 

"Right..." The man in orange said as he grinned and approached Teresa. "So you'll let me... Mmmmphh !" Teresa was about to say something again, but a new duct tape was placed on her mouth, gagging her again, and a thick white cloth was also circled around her, gagging her even tighter. "You are important to us, so you're staying here !" The man in grey said to her, as he set up six more chairs near Teresa. And just then, the door opened...

 

 

Two more men came in. They were the man in red and the man in cyan. And of course, they brought Ayda along. "Mmmmmppphh !?" "Mmmmmppphh !" Teresa and Ayda were both shocked to each other, looking at the condition. Soon, Ayda was also tied to a chair on her shoulders and her ankles, to the leftmost chair, as Teresa was already tied to the rightmost chair. "It'll be soon, girls..." The man in cyan said. And the man in red continued with a grin in his face, "Don't worry. You'll get more to accompany you... heh heh heh..."

 

 

"Mmmmmmm..." Ayda and Teresa could do nothing but moan and struggle. But those acts weren't able to free themselves. What will happen to them ?
