"Nnaa~, If there was any other way I would not do this." Nanachi said, looking to the other, walking alongside of her, carefully as to not allow any harm to come to herself or the human. The Narehate had all too much experience with this layer, this deplorable area, where even the slightest ignorance and weakness in stride could result in such deprivation one could break a tooth and feel less than nothing. Riko, as steadfast as ever, seemed to not mind the danger, nor fear of the situation, as her leather boots sent echoing footsteps of crunching ice across the expanse, moreso guided by her devotion to getting further into the Abyss, than a logical bravery.
"You'll be okay, we both will, it's just a means to an end." Riko said encouragingly, clearly not rising any optimism from the Narehate. "I do not share that opinion." Nanachi replied, cooly, but not slowing down. Riko took a deep breath, and pushed forward, the smells and sounds of the ocean around them almost non sensible as they walked toward the large, circular city that was their destination, Ido Front. Nanachi's skepticism wasn't lost, this city, this hellscape, is where she had lost her own humanity under the guise of science, but this base, was a required sacrifice, they needed a White Whistle, they needed him, they needed Bondrewd.
The pair arrived at two large doors, as Riko enthusiastically pushed at the handle, they opened almost at the same time by two Umbra Hands, their emotionless movements eerily concerning Nanachi as they walked inside, past the glowing face coverings. "Ah, I forecasted this reunion, welcome." Said a voice from a far corner of the room. "Nnaa~...far from welcome." Nanachi said to herself, looking down, not meaning to make eye contact with the figure walking toward them, Riko smiling upward and standing her ground as the doors were closed behind them. "Nervous? not an emotion your acquaintance seems to share." The man said, arriving in front of the two, his hands behind his back, his demeanor unrecognizable.
Riko's enthusiasm quickly began to fall, as she matched the eyeless glare of Bondrewd, looking up at the taller figure, who seemed to be staring into her very soul, while also being terrifyingly inviting. "I am Bondrewd, Delver of the Abyss, The Lord of d-" Bondrewd began, Riko interjecting. "I know who you are, we both do." "It is impolite to interrupt, but I digress, what a pleasure it is to see you again, Nanachi." Bondrewd replied, looking down to the Narehate as he kneeled down, kindly placing a hand on Nanachi's shoulder. "Nnaa~" was all they muttered, looking down at the ground, their face turning beet red in both fear and anger, visions of their friend's corruption playing in their mind, as they stepped back quickly, landing her bare, furry feet on the stone ground behind her. "I did not come for reunions."
Bondrewd stood up again, placing his hands behind his back once more as he walked away, seemingly disinterested as quickly as he was before, toward a table, filled with various abyss tech artifacts, vials, and beakers. "You came for a reason, I hypothesize, to proceed deeper, to which you require my assistance, how bitterly ironic." "That's right, and you're gonna help us." Riko spoke up, bravery triumphing over her discipline, as Bondrewd placed his hands upon his table. "I may, I may not, that varies heavily on how the next few hours proceed." He replied, clearly not affected by Riko's bravado. As the Umbra Hands previously at the door were seemingly closer to the pair, Nanachi looked toward them, then back to Bondrewd with a slightly nervous expression. "Nnaa~ Wh- what do you want."
Bondrewd raised his hand, as he did, the two towering figures stopped in their tracks, as he firmly stated "Return to your place alongside of me, I've not had proper help in far too long, progress has been slower in your absence, Nanachi." The Narehate felt her heart sink, they knew that would be a requirement, the very thing the twisted White Whistle would desire in order to help Riko's progression, they were ready to go along with the act for just as long as it would take to proceed, not a second longer. "Nnaa~, will you assist us in descent if I agree to help you, at least help Riko?" Nanachi asked, looking toward the motionless Bondrewd. "You both do not have the stamina to survive the depths of the Sixth Layer, that would be akin to suicide." He firmly stated. "Will you work with me or not, I have much to be done."
Riko felt a chill in the air, there were four of them now, four Umbra Hands, there were only two, she was being surrounded, they both were, a subtle surrounding but an obvious one, as she looked to her Narehate friend, and tugged her hand. "Look..." She said, motioning. Nanachi looked around as well, matching the nervous tension of the gathering Umbra Hands, now six. "Nnaa~ Do not harm her..." Nanachi seemingly pleaded to Bondrewd, his reaction less than what she desired. "She is exceptional, I apologize for the delay in your quest, dear girl, but I simply must examine you before proceeding." He said, raising his hand, beckoning his Umbra Hands, "Would you kindly seize them?"
Nanachi sprung from her spot, gripping ahold of Riko's hand as they began to run, aimlessly, narrowly avoiding their gripping hands as the pair ran past Bondrew toward a corridor. "A poor choice in direction." Bondrew announced behind them, as they entered the corridor, large, stone walls slamming down behind them, and an audible hiss being emitted. Riko looked down to her boots, noticing the green gas filling the room they had found themselves trapped in, her mind getting cloudy as she attempted to turn around and run, fear setting in, her body shaking as she placed her hands on the stone wall that had fallen, Nanachi already lay in the gas, motionless, as she fell to her knees. "Relax, It shall only make you more...cooperative." Bondrew said, as he walked from the opposite direction, through the gas, toward her quickly drifting self.
"Nnaa~" Uttered Nanachi as they re awoke, an itch on their forehead, they attempted to scratch it, as they noticed their hands were bound, ankles as well, to a large, metallic and wooden chair, countless instruments and gears laden over it's structure, directly to the side of Riko, who was latched and bound in a similar fashion to an identical contraption. Riko awakened slowly and simultaneously, looking around in fear as she strained against the restraints, yelling outward "Hey! L- Let me out!" "Nnaa~, do not fight it, Bondrewd is nothing if not efficient..." Nanachi said, fear in her own heart, but refusing to show it again toward Bondrewd.
The silence of the room was broken by the whirring of Abyss tech powering up, the arms of the chairs contraptions moving and preparing for an unknown action, as Riko watched, she had become aware of the oddities of her bondage, her boots were discarded and neatly rested by the nearby locked door, her feet bare, her sleeves pulled back, and as she looked toward her Narehate comrade, noticed the same was true for them. "Wha- What's going on?!" Riko pleaded, as two arms of the contraptions slid to her sides, small metal digits resting to her sensitive ribs, the same being done to the furry body of Nanachi. "You claimed to be prepared, allow us to see your resilience, not to pain, but to an overwhelming amount of excitement." Bondrewd said, seemingly echoed by a window, out of view of the two now subjects.
The digits of the contraption began prodding slightly at the pairs ribs, sending shivers down their spines, and then began to speed up, irritatingly at first but, proceeding to cause them to laugh, tickling their sides, Riko found her toes flexing and her fingers matching the motion as she began to laugh out. Nanachi was in no better of a position, as she wriggled and writhed, the tickling digits sliding along each of her sides as she struggled to resist them "N naaaaa!" they squeaked out "S- Stop thiiisss!" Riko said through tear welling eyes. The digits on their sides continued to tickle and prod as two more machinations began to power up at the bonded pair's bare, exposed feet, cloth and feather rollers on wheels began to spin, inching teasingly close to their vulnerable feet, the feathers making ever so slight contact, sending sensations up their legs simultaneously.
The room became filled with the uncontrollable laughter and struggle of the tickled pair, Riko's eyes watering as she screamed out in intense, fiery laughter, her toes wiggling and flexing in resistance as her body quivered in the torture. Nanachi attempted to take it with stride but was unable to contain her squeaks and laughs as the rollers pressed firmly against her fluffy feet, the fur nothing more than adding to the tickling sensations as they yelped in distress, their laughter matched only by their wiggling and flexing in the chair, screaming out in an adorable cackle. "NNAAAAAAAAA~ MAHAHAHA~!" they deeply writhed and pushed back against the chair, crying and writhing, unable to process the pure amount of tickling sensations they felt.
It was far from over, as yet two more machinations each joined the digits at their sides, pushing up and under their arms, the tender flesh of their armpits now joining bonded feet and sides in the jolting tickles, their bodies now joined in synchronized stimulation, as Riko shamefully began to cry and beg in higher pitches for it to stop. "Pl PLEASSEEEE I'LL WORK FOR YOOUUUUU!" Nanachi pleaded, their body quivering less as the stimuli quickly began overloading them, the pure intensity of the rollers on their tender feet, the metal spinning digits at her sides and quivering armpits as they felt themselves nearly returning to unconciousness
Riko, however, couldn't take it anymore, a warmth began pooling under her as she wet herself in pure unwanted laughter, her crying intensifying as the rollers at her soft feet appeared to only increase in speed, the digits at her smooth armpits pushing deeper with more intensity "AhahahahahahaAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" She was unable to contain herself, hysterically laughing as her pants leaked more and more and her body began to go from limp to tense and back again. Nanachi could hardly withstand it anymore, as the chairs seemingly stopped, suddenly, the devices slowing and coming to a halt.
They shared deep, relieved breaths as Riko tried to look to the window where no doubt, the twisted scientist was taking notes on their torture. "No more...no more...no more." The deeply breathing, barely conscious Nanachi pleaded. The fear set right back in as the machinations whirred, the hands once focused on tickling their sides, gripping onto their wrists and pulling from the restraints, upward, exposing each and every sensitive inch of the girl and Narehate's bodies.
They had not even a moment's solace to beg as the machines powered back up, faster, and more targeted than before, the rollers now pushing firmly to their soft, bare soles, like straw they prickled and tickled over each inch of the smooth and fluffy respective feet, as two more sets of digits each began gyrating and working over their sides and armpits, even behind their knees and neck, not an inch left untickled. Words were beyond her as Riko was the first to scream out. "AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, MAKE IT STAAAHAHAHAHHHP!", her body shaking and quivering to the endless tickling, her mind blanking, only laughter and excitement on an unbearable level. Nanachi's resilience was a distant memory as their ears, body, toes and mouth were all joined in deep hearty tortured laughter, writhing and clamping their toes and fingers aimlessly in unwanted nirvana, her smile almost painful at this point "NNAA~ I CAN'T PL EAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA" She desperately and uncorporially begged.
As the machines continued their work, the girl and Narehate both quivering and laughing was like music to the research Bondrewd was conducting, a new, painless option of resilience testing, and this was only the first day.
As his quill dragged over the papers in front of him, watching the adorable sight of his former partner and young ally quiver and laugh to the tender and intent tickling, he could only consider this, an absolutely intriguing means of data acquisition, that surely would not end any time soon, his only curiosity was which of the pair would concede first?
