For what seemed like ages, he attempted to escape the empty room in a myriad of ways, but all to no avail. Purplish and black spots decorated his arms and legs - badges of his desperation to leave. His arid lips started showing tiny cracks, his skin growing pale in exhaustion.

"Get me out of here!," he wheezed, banging his body at the immovable door. Although his will remained unyielding, his physical strength was nearing its limit. Eventually, his hips sunk to the floor, his fingers scratching the metal door.

In spite of his diminishing vigor, he continued to pound the door with his fist. “Ye…whoever ye’ all are. I be feedin’ ye to the fish,” he remarked in an empty threat, his tone barely bearing any strength. His fist continued to bump rhythmically against the door, each strike getting more and more enervated.

Will the door be opened for him? Who knows? But as for Jack, he’d attempt his escape till the end of his strength.

Marcus hated to return to the same place he once was rescued from Syphids himself. But there were new prisoners captured and it was his duty to rescue those who were trapped.

The Cyborg ripped the bars off the cell and threw Jack a gun "You know how to use guns?"

"No time, we need to get out of here and fast. My name is Marcus and I'm here to protect you."

Eventually, the door budged, not of his own effort but by someone from outside. Jack's reflexes caused him to leap away from the door, as if a sudden rush of strength coursed through him. To his surprise, his visitor was just another human but the newcomer's strength was frightening to have destroyed the seemingly invulnerable door to his cell.

A gun flew in Jack's direction, almost kissing the ground if not for his inhuman reflex to catch it. The events that succeeded flew by similarly quickly. All that registered to him was the stranger's directive for escape.

Dumbfounded, Jack simply ran after the stranger who introduced himself as Marcus, suddenly accompanied by the sound of gunshots and explosions from afar. All he could do was imitate his ‘savior’, crouching whenever the man stoop low, and hugging the wall should they suspect incoming enemies.

“Where we be’ headin’ matey!,” Jack spat out, unable to hold his curiosity. In spite of the battle noises from around them, their escape appeared to be getting by smoothly.

"You'll find out soon, we are going somewhere to the Witches' camp. You can get situated when we get back there."

Marcus began to shoot at the Syphids on the hover ATV. "Cover me and I'll get you to safety soon."

"Aye!", the pirate exclaimed, as he returned fire at the strangers that rained them with bullets.

He had to take cover from time to time, pressured by enemies that seemingly overpowered them with high-grade weaponries.

"Arrr! If only I had me weapons!," Jack complained as he alternately dodged, hid, and returned fire.
