And here we go again…
Mito Takami. The second oldest of the Takami sisters. She was driving home from Tokyo in the family truck, carrying back supplies for the inn in the bed of the truck. The boxes were mostly just filled with food, towels, and cakes of alcohol. Mostly domestic beer.
It was a clear evening, with nothing more than the moon and a handful of clouds obstructing the sky. The roads she drove on were a particularly windy one, right next to the ocean. The view was rather nice, the moon loomed over the ocean like something out of a fantasy movie, shining off the waves like a sparkle.
She was sitting back, jamming out to her favorite tunes. She slapped the steering wheel of her truck like a drum kit to the beat of the music. "Come together, right now! Over me." she sang along to her radio.
About 5 years ago, she and her older sister, Shima, watched μ's perform their last show in Tokyo. She and Shima were so inspired they became idols themselves at Uranohoshi. They called themselves The Two Mermaids, simply because they had no other ideas at the time. (Needless to say, Chika would try to use the name again when she became an idol.)
The name stuck for the whole year until Shima graduated. Mito tried to keep an idol group going with the next batch of kids, but found no real luck.
Then she graduated too and decided to help with the family business, alongside her mother, father and older sister. Today was no different.
"That was Come Together, the Aerosmith cover. Up next is Bonny Tyler's hit from 1983, Total Eclipse of the Heart on 101.3, The Idol." The radio said as piano music began to kick in.
"Eeeeeeee." Mito screeched like a little girl cranking the music up a few more notches. This was the first song that the Two Mermaids ever performed, of course it held a special place in her heart.
She started singing along to the music.
"Turn around. Every now and then I get a little bitttle bit lonely, and you're never coming 'round." She sang along to the lyrics. The 2 Mermaids version was significantly more energy packed than the original. "Turn around. Every now and then i get a little but tired of listening to the sounds of my tears. TURN AROUND! Every now and then i get a little bit nervous that the best of all my years have gone by!" She sang her heart out.
Before she could do anything else, something exploded onto the windshield. "TURN AROUND BITCH!"
Mito screamed as the face appeared then disappeared again, causing her to panic and lose control of the vehicle. She slid around on the road before hitting the guardrail and breaking it, flying out into the rocks below. Her truck bounced off of the rocks and rolled into the ocean head first.
Mito suddenly opened her eyes from the terror that had just happened. She was upside down in the truck in the ocean, and quickly sinking. "Oh shit. Oh shit oh shit." she tried unhooking her seat belt to get out, but found it seemed to be locked in place from the crash.
She pulled out her phone and immediately started dialing 911. After a few rings, someone answered. "Hello. What's your emergency."
"Help, my truck is underwater!" She screamed.
"I'm sorry ma'am, could you not crank call us."
"WHAT?!" she screamed in response. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN DON'T CRANK CALL YOU. I'M BEING FOR REAL YOU IDIOT!"
"There is no reason to tell ma'am. Good bye."
She hung up. Mito stared at her phone for moment as she tried calling her mom. Her finger slipped as she accidentally tapped on Chika's face and it auto dialed her.
Whatever. That'll work. She patiently waited as the phone rang. "Come on Chika. If you answer, i swear I'll never call you stupid ever again." another ring. "Or put laxatives in your breakfast again." another ring. "And I'm sorry for covering your vibrator with habanero juice."
She began to regret all the bullying she had done to her little sister in the name of having fun at her expense.
Chika picked up. "Hello?" she answered in a drowsy manner.
"Chika? Oh my god. Listen, my truck is upside down in the water!"
"You're what? Is this a joke?"
"No! I need you to…" she paused as she realized something.
She heard someone behind her. "Oh man… I don't want to die to this song." she flipped out when she saw a man in tactical gear was behind her. She realized that Total Eclipse of the Heart was still somehow playing.
"What the. What the fuck?" she exclaimed.
The man looked to her. "That was some of the finest driving I'd ever seen, right up until the end there." he joked.
Mito grew pissed. Whatever the hell this was, it was obviously a rip off of Battlefield 4's opening sequence. She looked around her to see the water was quickly rising as the window began to crack. She was still upside down d strapped to her seat.
The man grabbed her by the shoulder. "You know. For the pack to survive, a wolf must chew off its it's own leg." he told her pointing a gun at the windshield.
Mito started panicking. "Wait. No!"
"Don't worry." he said as he got up close and personal. His face contorted as his voice suddenly changed. "It only hurts the 1st time."
Suddenly a loud bang filled the cabin as water came rushing in, crashing through the now shattered windshield. She felt the cold water hit her like a freight train, causing her to drop her phone. It was so fast and sudden, that she thought she was being hit with a blast of liquid nitrogen. She tried her best to hold her breath for as long as she could.
Mito tried desperately to get out of the car seat, but was being held back by the madman in the car with her, holding her seatbelt tight. She tried unlocking the seatbelt and simply slipping out, but suddenly she felt the seatbelt get very hot. She flinched as the water at the base of the seatbelt glowed orange and melted to the car.
She was stuck.
Mito flailed around trying to break free from the flooding car, but was unable to see clearly. She kicked her way around but to no luck. Mito soon found water rushing into her lungs, and quickly. She suddenly coughed up the CO2 filled air in her lungs and instinctively took a breath, but was greeted by water.
Her time was running out. She tried reaching for whatever sharp object she could find, but found no luck in reaching anything. She choked on the water in her lungs. She clenched her throat tight as her lungs no longer had air in them, and filled with liquid. It was the most painful thing she had ever experienced, and all she could do choke. The man swam in front of her, picking up her somehow still functioning phone and held it to his ear.
"Freddies back bitches." he said as he swam off to the surface, dropping the phone into the abyss.
As Mito's final heartbeat approached. Her thoughts returned to her mother. How she never got to see her again. About her younger sister Chika. The baby of them all. The one she probably picked on the most. Then about her sister that she started an idol group with at Uranohoshi.
Uranohoshi. The school where she went to as a teenager. And the school that was about to be plagued by a monster. She didn't know that there was about to be a Nightmare at Uranohoshi.
A/N And here we fucking go again. This is just in case you thought Freddy was through killing high schoolers.
As is tradition with slasher horror sequels, the body count will be higher, the kills will be more gut wrenching, and the heroes probably won't all make it out alive.
Who will be the next victim? Place your bets now. It's go time.
