A/N: I know I said I'd only be updating Clannad Story before RoTA Vol. 2, but thanks to my recent obsession with the Corpse Party franchise, I am happy to present: Welcome to the Corpse Party! Enjoy!
WELCOME TO THE CORPSE PARTY!
Chapter 1- Heavenly Host
Adam Robertson had admittedly been through a lot of shit since he had chosen to enrol at Beacon Academy and become a Huntsman. Almost as soon as he started his first year, he had immediately been thrust into a war, which he had struggled to fight, having lost one of his friends, but also having to deal with killing his older brother. But nevertheless, he had persevered, defeating his brother and absorbing his Aura, becoming a hell of lot more resilient to damage than he was before. During that conflict, he had seen a lot of death, admittedly, but one day, he would get involved in something a lot more gory than that...
It all started when Adam was hunting a creature of Grimm, more specifically an Ursa. He had tracked it to a cave, and was perched on a tree branch above the entrance, waiting for it to emerge, his weapon Deathcaliber clipped to his side. After about an hour, the growl of the Ursa rumbled out the cave, and it emerged, before Adam blurred out of his spot, and a second later, the Ursa was split in half from the torso, and Adam was standing over it, his blade stained in it's blood. "No challenge at all."Adam said, wiping the blade clean on the Ursa's body, before sheathing it. As he went to walk away, the earth started to shake, and the ground cracked open beneath him, causing him to fall into an abyss, before his vision blacked out.
Later on...
Groaning, Adam pulled himself into a sitting position, raising a hand to his head. Looking round, he saw he was in what seemed to be a classroom, but since there was little to no light, he couldn't be too sure. Standing up, he dusted himself off, one hand unconsiously going to his sword, and he relaxed when he felt the hilt of Deathcaliber. "Great, now where the fuck am I?"he asked, going over to the window. Looking out, he saw that the sky was grey, and the forest surrounding the building he was in seemed to stretch on forever. "Well, fuck that!"he said, stepping back, and heading to the door, sliding it open, and stepping out into a corridor, unsheathing his sword as he did so. Spinning the weapon, he turned it into its rifle form, and started to walk down the corridor, checking each room as he passed them.
As he went to ascend a staircase, he was shocked to see a mutilated corpse of a little girl lying on the bottom step, maggots falling out of her empty eye socket and mouth. "Jesus!"Adam said, covering his mouth, as the stench was overpowering, before he walked up the stairs. When he reached the top, he jumped when he heard a girl's scream. "SEIKO!"the voice said, causing him to speed up, and run into a nearby bathroom, ignoring the sign of a girl beside the door. Inside, he saw a brown haired girl on her knees in front of one of the stalls. She looked over to Adam when he entered, and ran up to him, her face covered in tears. "Please, help my friend!"she pleaded, causing Adam to run up to the stall, where he saw another brown haired girl with curls in her hair, struggling to breathe, with a noose round her neck.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Get her on your shoulders!"Adam ordered, before the girl from before nodded, and hoisted her friend up onto her shoulders, allowing her to breathe. "Alright, now stay absolutely still!"Adam said, changing Deathcaliber into its sword form, before jumping up spinning, making the blade slice through the rope, releasing the girl, who started to fall to the floor. Immediately, Adam dropped the blade, and caught her, before gently laying her on the bathroom floor. He then started to check for a pulse, sighing in relief when she began to cough. Slowly, her eyes slid open, and Adam smiled at her. As the colour started to flow back into her face, Adam noted how beautiful she was.
"Welcome back to the land of the living, Miss!"Adam said, offering the girl his hand. Taking it, the girl allowed Adam to pull her up. "Thank you."she said, before the first girl wrapped her in a hug. "Seiko, why would you hang yourself?"the first girl asked, before Seiko shoved her off and slapped her. "You've got some nerve to play the 'amnesia' card, Naomi, since you were the one who hanged me!"she yelled, before Naomi backed up in shock, cupping her cheek with her hand. "Seiko, I can't remember doing that! Why would I do it, anyway? You're my best friend!"she cried, before collapsing back to her knees. "Naomi..."Seiko said, her face changing to one of sorrow, before she fell to her knees beside Naomi, and embraced her. "If you can't remember, it's okay. You weren't yourself."she said, before they heard a dull "THUD!"behind them. Looking round, they saw that Adam had collapsed to the wall. The reason behind this was he had scanned the room with his secondary Semblance of Aura Detection, and he had sensed a dark presence in the room, before he collapsed in shock.
"You okay, sir?"Naomi asked, before Adam nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. My Semblance just overwhelmed me a bit."he said, before the two girls looked at him, confusion on their faces. "Semblance?"Seiko asked, before Adam nodded. "Semblance, Aura. Remember? Where the fuck on Remnant have you been living?"he said, before the two girls looked to each other. "What are you, high? We're on Earth, not this Remnant you're on about."Naomi stated, causing Adam to knock his head into the wall slightly. "I'm on another planet. Motherfucker!"he said, before he stood back up. "Alright, now to business. Adam Robertson, pleasure to meet you. And you are...?"he asked, before the girls smiled. "Naomi Nakashima and Seiko Shinohara."they said, before Adam nodded. "Good, now where exactly are we?"he asked, both girls shrugging. "Not a clue. We ended up here by doing a charm of some kind with our friends, but I think we messed it up, cause we ended up here."Seiko explained, before Adam nodded, before he picked up Deathcaliber. "How many others did the charm with you?"he asked, before Naomi replied, "Seven." "Seven, so that means there's nine of you here. Alright..."he said, transforming his weapon into its rifle form. "I'll help you find them. Now, if you're coming, couple of rules: Stick close to me, don't ask unnecessary questions, and don't wander off."he said, before the girls nodded. "Alright. You want to lead, or should I?"he asked, gesturing out the door. "You lead."Naomi said, before Adam nodded. "Alright, let's go."he said, going to leave the bathroom, but he fell back in shock when he saw a girl in a tattered red dress in front of him, one hand behind her back.
"Someone's here who shouldn't be."The girl said in a singsong voice, a wide smile on her face, before she brought her arm out, revealing she was holding a pair of bloodstained scissors. "I was going to let you live for a little longer, but you spoiled my fun in here, and for that, I'll paint this school in your blood!"she yelled, stepping forward, but Adam held up Deathcaliber and pointed the barrel at her. She took one look at the weapon, and burst out laughing. "What's a sword going to do?"she asked, before Adam smirked. "Let's find out, bitch!"he said, pulling the trigger, and the barrel erupted, shooting a blast at her, sending her flying backwards, out a window in the hall. "I hate those who kill for pleasure."Adam said, sheathing his sword again, before turning to his new companions. "You shot a little girl!"Seiko yelled, before Adam nodded. "She was going to stab me with a pair of scissors!"he said, before he gestured to the door. "You coming?"he asked, before the two girls nodded. "Alright, then. Let's go."
Slowly, the trio walked through the school, going corridor by corridor, before they reached a corridor a couple of floors below the bathroom, when Adam suddenly threw out an arm, pinning the girls to the wall. Looking to him, the girls saw him put a finger to his lips. "Wait here."he ordered, before pulling his hood up, and withdrawing his sword, before stalking forward slightly, pressing up against the corner of the wall. After a couple of seconds, he leapt out from the corner, and the sound of a struggle could be heard, before the girls could hear a voice say, "The fuck you doing, asshole?", before a blonde-haired boy was dragged into their view. "Kishinuma?"Naomi asked, before the boy looked to her and Seiko. "Nakashima! Shinohara!"the boy said, before Adam looked to the girls. "He one of the others here with you?"he asked, before the girls nodded. He then pulled the boy to his feet. "Sorry about that, mate."he said, before a girl with blue hair tied into pigtails ran up. "Shinozaki!"Naomi called out, before her and Seiko embraced her. "Nakashima, Shinohara, I'm glad to see you two are okay!"she said, before she looked at Adam. "And you are?"she asked, before Seiko spoke up. "Adam Robertson. He's a friend. He saved my life. Hands off, he's mine."she said, before Shinozaki walked up to Adam, and extended a hand. "Ayumi Shinozaki. Pleasure to meet you."she said, before Adam shook her hand. "Pleasure's all mine."he said, before she walked over to Kishinuma. "And I see you've already met this useless lump, Yoshiki Kishinuma."she said to Adam. "Actually, we need your help, Nakashima."she then said to Naomi. "What's wrong, Shinozaki?"Seiko asked, before Yoshiki said, "Two ghosts have Mayu hostage in the infirmary!" Stepping forward, Adam said, "Show me." Nodding, the two new members of the group led them to the infirmary, and ran through the door. Inside, they saw two bright blue girls, standing next to another girl, wearing the same uniform as the girls in Adam's group, who was levitating in mid-air.
"We have the method to set you free!"Ayumi said to the ghosts, before holding out a small doll, that seemed to be speaking. "I'm sorry."the doll kept repeating, before the two ghosts started to shake. Without warning, they then grabbed the floating girl's legs, flew up into the air, and dragged her out of the room. "Mayu!"Yoshiki cried out, before Adam ran past him. "I got it!"he said, before blurring out the room, appearing in front of the ghosts, who disappeared, releasing the girl, who fell into Adam's arms, but her momentum caused him to slam into the wall, leaving a huge crack in it. Slumping to the floor, Adam looked at the girl in his arms, and smiled when he saw she was still breathing. She had just passed out. "Thank Christ!"he said thankfully, before getting to his feet, and carrying her back to the infirmary, where he placed her on one of the beds...
A/N: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! If you didn't get any of the stuff in this chapter, either go play the game you can get on Steam, or watch the Tortured Souls series on Youtube. If you choose the latter, it's subbed. Just a warning. It doesn't have a dubbed version. Also, I wouldn't recommend eating before watching. Enjoy!
