SUMMARY: Kanda, Allen and Lavi work for Komui as guards for a research facility that doubles as an insane asylum. When several of the 'inmates' escapes, they begin to go on a rampage, silently but brutally killing anyone who they holds a grudge against. And they're aiming for one man- Komui's higher up, Bookman. Now it's a race against time, and a stealthy, insane murderer. Can Kanda, Allen and Lavi make it? And what is Komui's connection to these girls? MAJOR AU, takes place in modern times, maybe a little into the future.
A man with long black hair in a ponytail walked down the halls with a blond man in a lab coat whose hair was also in a ponytail, only low and loose. They were on their way to Cell 6-G6, which, in the dark, could be mistaken for 666.
"Tell me, Kanda. Have you ever stared into the eyes of a killer?" the man in the lab coat asked.
Stupid question. Most of the people Kanda dealt with were killers, all of them insane. Of course he had.
Not waiting for Kanda to answer, the scientist continued. "Were those eyes ever that of a child's?"
Kanda looked at the scientist oddly. A child? A killer? Nonsense. He thought dismissively.
"Kanda, I'm about to introduce you to Inmate 0013, a very dear friend of mine." The scientist smiled. His smile looked more like a sneer though.
They approached the heavy steel doors to Cell 6-G6, and they slowly slid open, revealing a long white bridge leading to a bullet proof glass box with air holes and a slot to slide meals through. In the middle sat a girl in a straight jacket, her long lavender hair shielding the side of her face from the men.
"Hello, Sena. How are you today?" the scientist asked as he and Kanda approached.
The girl didn't answer. She looked up and neither her eyes nor her face betrayed any emotion.
"Kanda, this is Inmate 0013. She's been here for a very long time… 5 years at most."
"Keith, he doesn't need to know that, nor should you." Sena said. Her voice was like the wind through bare branches and dieing leaves- not silent, but enough to frighten anyone at night.
"She's been here since she was nine, you know. She and her friends was one of the first guests of this asylum." Keith continued, ignoring the inmate.
"Oh I see how it is. Only worth listening to when HE'S around, hm? Well SCREW YOU!" Sena yelled.
HIM. Bookman. The one who founded the facility. The one Sena hated for an unknown reason. No one, not even himself, knew his real name.
Keith looked at Sena or a second. "Is Sena jealous? I'm sorry. I'll pay more attention to you." He smiled, opening the door to the glass cell. "Kanda, come here." Keith ordered.
"If you weren't a higher up, I would shoot you." Kanda muttered, looking at the pistol at the side of his leg. (Kanda still has his sword. He also has other weapons, just in case.)
"I know you would. I should have brought Allen… but I thought you'd like to meet the girl who, along with her three closest friends, slaughtered their whole home town out of sheer boredom and ENJOYED it." Keith smiled, his eyes looking down on the lavender haired girl.
"You say that like it's a bad thing." She smiled wickedly.
"Still a morbid little girl, I see. Keith smiled, patting her head. He and Kanda left.
"Well Kanda? What do you think?" he asked.
"If what you say is true, shouldn't she be in prison?" Kanda asked. "And whatever happened to her friends? The three before '0013' and the three after '0013' are all gone."
"They were given different numbers, as to confuse each other were they to somehow escape." Keith told him. "Lori, Shia and Kat are still here."
"Hn…"
A girl with blood red hair sat in the corner of her cell, her straightjacket ripped. Are you ready girls? She asked telepathically.
More than ready. Sena replied in her own cell.
I'm going to beat them to death with a sink.
Ready.
Then let's do this. Remember how to break out of your straightjackets? She asked.
Lori, I'm not double jointed. Nor do I have fangs. Sena reminded her.
Oh yeah… did you at lest manage to get it loose? Lori asked.
Duh. Let me guess… just wiggle out, right? This is going to take a while. Oh well. Sena sighed.
Right. Rendezvous at 12, on the roof. Set out! Lori ordered.
Since her straightjacket was already off, she only had to open her door. No problem for her. She was psychic and practically superhuman, thanks to the facility. Placing one hand on the door and drawing the other back, she punched the door, knocking it off its hinges. Seeing a video camera she smiled and waved, using her powers to kill the security guards who were watching. She then vanished.
Shia, a girl with black hair and purple eyes, had managed to get the sleeves of the straightjacket out of the loop and was biting at the fabric, tearing it with her teeth. As soon as the jacket was off, she looked up. Her cell had vents in it… BIG vents. And an opening to get into it.
Too easy. She smiled, revealing sharp, pointed teeth- another result of staying in the asylum.
She jumped up and literally RIPPED the vent open, and crawled in. It was cold, the AC was on. She shivered as she crawled through, but continued on.
Kat twisted her body until her jacket fell off. Don't ask me how she did it, it was kinda gross, and I don't want to talk about it. She then proceeded to climb up the walls, digging her nails into the softish material and hiding in the upper left corner of the room, right above the door. After a few moments, several nurses stormed in.
"Where is she?! She couldn't have just vanished!" one of them said, looking around the empty room frantically.
Kat smirked and dropped down silently, closing the door and locking the nurses in. She looked at a supply closet and opened it, grinning. Several cleaning chemicals, when mixed, created dangerous and deadly fumes. She opened the bottles and mixed them all together, then opened the door to her cell long enough to throw the bottles in. The fumes immediately took effect. Kat then ran down the halls.
Sena had made it out of the straightjacket only because of how petite she was. She glared at the white cloth hatefully and then kicked the glass door over and walked across the bridge. The steel doors opened, letting her through.
"Really, this was FAR to easy." She giggled.
Two boys walked into the video surveillance room only to find three corpses. All three corpses looked like their heads had imploded and the exploded. The red haired one immediately looked to the screens. Three inmates walked down a different hall, and one was in the vents.
"Allen! Go tell Komui!" he ordered the white haired boy.
"Right… Lavi, shouldn't we hit 'alert'?" Allen asked.
"I was getting to it!" Lavi yelled, punching the Alert button.
He looked back to the screen and grimaced. Six casualties in ten minutes… and this was only the beginning.
