Hey guys, Omega here! Just wanting to say hello and give you some small indication of how this story would work. I'll post some kind of glossary after this chapter, containing words and definitions for anyone who hasn't played Mary Skelter Nightmares, since some of the concepts can be rather confusing. It will also contain Character Profiles, including Evol's forms, so keep a look out for that. The Glossary will also constantly update with new profiles and stuff, just to keep that in mind. I bet you have a lot of questions, including what was that giant baby thing last floor. Well….you'll find out. Either way, enjoy.

Also, to make things clear. There will only be two other riders aside from Evol, and they will be different characters within canon. So, no more OC's. And all best matches which Evol use are unique to this story and this story alone. So wolf will match up with something else. Also, no triggers. That really isn't needed here considering…..

Divine Prison Tower: Evol Chronicles

Floor 2: Welcome To The Nightmare

Warning: I do not own anything except my OC. This takes place within an alternate world set within Mary Skelter canon. I do hope you enjoy.

Cue Opening: Arakajime Ushinawareta Bokura No Ballad

When people are born, you could consider us blank slates. We are moulded by the things around us, as people grow so do we. This can be either good or bad, it just depends on what you witness. Myself, at the time was naïve and innocent, I barely had any emotion. I was just born after all. Yet, I revelled in the ones I could experience, alongside the fragments of memory giving me hints about my past. Like with the Evol Driver and its capabilities, and the ability to gain new bottles from killing Nightmares and Marchen. Then…well….

It was just after that last match with that pack of Grim Wolves. I had transformed into…something and killed their leader, also gaining some kind of Wolf bottle out of it too. Right now though, Red had just introduced me to the three other members of her group, welcoming me as a member to this "Dawn" faction.

"Allow me to introduce him to you, Tsuu, Little M. The newest member of the Dawn, Evol!" Red had her arms around the back of the suit, attempting to replicate a big welcoming motion. The others were in some kind of stupor at my recent fight. I did leave a large crater in part of the walls of this place.

To break the silence, I decided to speak up, pointing my finger up at the creepiest looking member. "Ummm…what or who's that? Another Marchen?" The creature in question wasn't human, only barely resembling some kind of baby. It had a single eye, centred on its face with two leaves acting as some sort of hair. Its mouth was on the side of its face somehow and vines wrapped around most of its form.

Sheathing her own sword away, the black haired member I saw beforehand walked up to the grinning beast, gently laying her hands over its chest.

"This is Jack. His situation is kinda complicated." Red immediately followed up to her friend's speech. "He used to be human, but he took a rather nasty fall, which somehow turned him into that. I was pretty freaked out the first time I saw him."

So, it's a he? And something turned him into whatever that is? I could hear a bare minimum of words coming out of his smiling teeth. "Nic…..to….meet…you…." It was strained, taking a lot of effort just to force out. Meanwhile, Red removed her hands from my back and placed it over the other two females in the room.

"Either way, allow me to introduce you! To my left is Tsuu, who is the only one seemingly who can translate Jack, and to my right Little Mermaid!" Tsuu was the one with black hair with red and white streaks running through it. She was wearing a white and blue suit with two azure and black capes blowing in the wind behind her. As for Little Mermaid, she was a bit more sloppily dressed, having worn a sailor style uniform which lazily has fallen off one of her shoulders. Her hair was also the same, messy and unrefined aqua. As for her weapon, she was carrying a large trident behind her.

"Nice to meet you all, I hope to be of service!" I say, with as much positivity as I could get out. "Shall we get ourselves moving then!?" My hands briefly reach out to the Cyber and Void bottles within the driver, only to be stopped by Red's waving out towards me.

"No! We don't want to see you naked again!" I think she was probably mentally scarred seeing me naked in that cell. "Just…stay like that until we can get back to the Underground Liberated District alright!" Her face turned a bright shade of magenta, as Tsuu and Little Mermaid finally seemed to have realised my gender.

"You're…..eeppp!"

"You best not do that in front of the Princess, you fiend!"

Like a prince protecting the damsel, Tsuu used her body to shield Little M's features. Also…princess?

Red butted in on them both. "Let's keep moving you guys! Before the "Nightmare" or "her" show up! We wouldn't have a way to fight them in this state!"

Taking the lead, Red began moving through the corridors further ahead. All of the rest of us began to follow suit.

Walking through the labyrinth, things were tense. As if something could jump out at almost any time to kill and maim us. Most importantly though, no other creatures decided to attack. They either decided to leave after seeing our fight against that pack of Grim Wolves, or something else was awaiting us in the shadows.

Whilst walking, Red informed me a bit more about the actual area we were in, which looked very similar to a set of streets for some reason.

"This is the City Streets, one of the numerous locations within the Jail. It was the place where Jack fell down into the underground, giving us a new home and turning him into well…that." Red pointed at the dozing off beast behind us. "As for the Jail itself, it's kinda hard to describe…." Red placed a hand on her chin, puzzled as to what to say.

"You could consider it living. You've seen it pulsate and move right?" Tsuu just butted in from behind us. I nodded as Red moved a bit faster to get out of the way. "It seems to have some kind of disgusting desires which can only be satisfied by people like us that it creates. Princess doesn't deserve this treatment….grr!" Tsuu wrapped her hands around Little Mermaid's, to the other ones distaste.

Mermaid herself began to speak also, though a bit quieter that the other two loudmouths in the room. "Umm….no-one really knows why the jail created us. But us Maidens we have certain capabilities…..I can't say it!" She looked both shocked and embarrassed, cowering due to even thinking about what she was trying to say.

"It's what happens when too much Marchen Blood gets onto our bodies. We somehow can absorb it." Oh? I wondered why I was feeling a bit dry for a moment. Red just came back into the conversation. "We go into some kind of Massacre mode which can increase our abilities and makes us kind of angry. If there is even more though…..you get Blood Skelter…" Red had a pained look on her face similar to Mermaid's. I was curious as to the reason. "What's Blood Skelter?"

All of a sudden, some kind of dark wave began spreading over the area and a new feminine shout broke the amusement.

"GRAAAAAHH!" The force consumed the area into darkness, blocking out our vision and increasing the tension. Red immediately grabbed my arm once again, and began pulling whilst the other three characters began sprinting ahead.

"They're here…! Why now!?" She couldn't even explain, as we tried to race towards the line emanating away from us. Is being in the dark bad? I looked upwards, only to find that the removal of light had some kind of limit, being a dome stretching above.

I could barely let out a few words.

"Ummm….Red? What's "they"?"

Her face turned, pale as she tried to rapidly speak to get the gist across to me as fast as possible.

"A Nightmare and a Maiden in Blood Skelter! One's invincible and the other's on a rampage! We have to run, we can't beat them!" My mouth shut up, as I knew I needed more energy for running rather than fighting. If there was an invincible monster out there, even this suit wouldn't manage to fight it. And another Maiden?

As we turned another corner in City Streets, we had just about reached the edge of the darkened dome surrounding us. It was now stationary, and we could just about make out light on the other side. My body was trembling, shaking even within this suit. It was fear I was experiencing for the very first time. Pained looks on the others only showed their own terror at the monsters laying within this dungeon. We had almost cleared it, but…

"GAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Something….had jumped in front of us, screeching out towards us. And well….it was female, somewhat. Pale white hair cascaded downwards on the unknown, only "wearing" some kind of pink flame to cover her private sections. Parts of her also seemed mutated, legs replaced with black and pink sharp stubs. The sword fused into her right arm was massive, leaving behind slash marks on the wall beside whilst her other appendage was draped in a flame claw. And that look. In her eyes, I could view pink descending spirals, filled with madness and hate.

All four of us were forced to stop in our tracks. Tsuu, Mermaid and Red were cowering, Jack was…..clapping?

"Dammit! Seriously!?" Red reached behind to pull out her pair of scissors. "Alright everyone, no holding back! This may be Alice, but we need to get past her!" The others nodded, and began to draw their own weapons. Behind, that line of darkness seemed to be drifting away at its original pace. We had no choice.

"AAAAHHHHH!"

She screamed outwards once again, and her momentary moment of silence ended. She began dashing towards us, weapons ripping into the walls. Sounds of metal scratching against stone emanated through the air.

*SLASH!* *SLASH!* "Woaaahh!"

Somehow managing to attack all four of us (Jack not included) simultaneously, I was forced to duck under a sword slice crumbling the walls to both sides to pieces.

"AAAAHHHH!" Yet her attack was relentless, like a charging bull she began creating combo of slice after claw after slice! I could barely keep up, the berserker managing to graze the group a few times as she continued her assault!

She turned back around for another series of swings, this time specifically aiming at me and Tsuu, who was in the midst of blocking for Mermaid's sake. Approaching, her eyes were filled with countless levels of bloodlust, each innumerable than the last. As she swung, both me and Tsuu dodged. Although….

*SLICE!* "Aahhh!" "Princess!" "Goddammit!"

Little Mermaid had managed to block, but she was pushed back into a corner, separating us from her and leaving her vulnerable! With Red's berating herself for not making it out in time to beat the darkness, I decided to take out the bottle I had just obtained recently.

"Hope this works!" Shaking it, I brought its cap to the front, took out Cyber and slot the new one into the belt.

Wolf!

Cranking the lever, not minding the removal of the "Evol Match" sound, I waited for something to happen. And in an instant, a new half body replaced the neon green of the Cyber section. Steam raced out of the ports in the armour.

*HISSSS!* It seemingly worked, drawing the attention of the enemy for just a brief moment. Racing forwards, I noted the large grey claw that had now took the place of my left arm. Perfect.

*SLICE!* I jerked the claw forwards for a slashing motion, clashing it with the flame claw of the maiden. Mermaid stepped backwards in shock.

"KYAAAA!" "Tsuu, now!"

With our weapons locked, Alice took her eyes off Mermaid to allow Tsuu to respond to my instructions. Running forwards, she used herself as a shield, allowing Mermaid to obtain her bearings once again.

"GRRRRRAAAAAHHH!" Another cry allowed Alice to break through my guard, sheer strength alone allowing her to topple me back.

"Gahhh!" She continued on forwards.

*SLICE!* "Evol!" Pain entered my body, shaking it and trembling it to the core. Pink blood spurted out of where she contacted on my shoulder. It wasn't too deep, though it still was enough to cover the top half of the suit in my own magenta fluid. And somehow, the armour on my shoulder began to regenerate to overwrite the damage, although the pain was still there. Red had screamed outwards in distress.

READY, GO!

My hands unconsciously drifted down to the crank and began turning it furiously. Power began building up in the wolf's claw.

EVOLTECH ATTACK!

Letting out a resounding scream of both pain and anger, the claw let out a large black slash wave directly at Alice!

"Aaahhh!" She lifted her sword up to block, and though it sent her back a few metres, it barely did a thing.

"GRAAAAHHHHHH!" Her screams pierced the heavens once more, signifying that minimal damage had been dealt. All of us were in shock, myself included at the power she could wield whilst in this state.

"EVOL! LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!" Red barked instructions to me, beginning to flee on her own two feet. With Tsuu having consoled Mermaid, we began dashing away from Alice, in any direction we could. She followed suit, starting to attempt to keep up with us. Jack was also trying to move, somehow using the vines to literally leap and bound over the walls.

HEY, NO FAIR! Digging the wolf's claw into the walls, I tried creating rubble to block the berserk Alice's passage.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!" But with those stumps for legs, it really wasn't wor king for Alice. And her form became less and less visible to us, until her screams were bare whispers on the wind. Soon after, we had also reached the end of the darkness barrier, our vision blinded as our group re-entered the light.

*PANT* *PANT* *PANT* All of us were out of breath, now situated in a new corridor quite a while away from our original positon. Even Jack seemed to be tired. Damn that was hard….

"Is everyone alright!?" Red called out to each of us. All of us, including the big guy nodded in turn. Seemed like we all were okay, apart from a stabbing pain in my shoulder. I could barely think, only remembering the searing, blistering rage emanating from the group's former friend. How she kept getting up, even after I threw that finisher. It was like, that anger was being transferred onto me. A nagging feeling in the back of my mind, only building up further and further.

Tsuu turned her head towards me, then slowly backed away.

"Umm….Evol?" She spoke in distress. My vision was filled with pink.

Mermaid and Red slowly followed suit, the former taking her place behind Tsuu to protect herself.

"Look down." Red's remark was blunt. I did as she commanded, and my eyes went wide in shock. The suit had changed, gloves and boots taking on a burning pink covering. No, it wasn't that. The flames were them, as I could feel the cold air within the City Streets emanating on my skin.

Red held up a pocket mirror towards me. The helmet of the suit had faded away completely, leaving new stark white hair exposed. Eyes were pink, though not as mad as those I saw in Alice. Branded in the fire, a magenta outline of the helmet could be seen over my own face, bare minimum…..but still there.

"I think he's just unlocked Massacre Mode. He was covered in Marchen blood before, remember? Not including his own shoulder." Tsuu pointed out towards the other two, who were just staring agape.

"Umm…." As for Little M, she was grabbing onto Red's sleeve. Red turned towards her friend. "I think we're home…." Mermaid pointed towards a new area, which everyone looked towards. And just across a small chasm held up by two suspension bridges, was the entrance to a large cave. On the side of one of them, was a small sign.

New Liberated District

And, as my anger slowly decreased, with markings fading away as we each walked across the bridge, all of us were in silence. Except Jack, he was just smiling and grinning. I think his mouth doesn't actually move. Anyways, the tension in the air was quite thick, out of the guilt these people had for not being able to save their friend. Saddened looks were on each of their faces as we made our way back to home base. My own movement was hindered, trying to keep up with the rest of the crowd, and the sorrow within. I couldn't understand it. I still had too many questions, and not enough answers.

That day was my first taste of the sorrow within. How these people were unable to save their friend, someone who despite the short period of meeting, let fall on the battlefield. I would assist in time, but there were introductions to make in the Liberated District, including another Maiden I hadn't met yet. It would take a lot of explanation to get me up to speed, but I was willing to listen. Since….these were the only friends I had.

Floor 2 Clear!

Begin Floor 3?

Ending Theme: Zetsubousei Hero Chiryouyaku (Danganronpa ED)

Well then, that's floor 2 done, with an introduction to both Massacre Mode, and a BS Alice! In the sequel to Mary Skelter, Alice isn't stopped from entering Blood Skelter by Jack, since he falls into the Underground Cavern. As for the Liberated District, the original was burned down due to nightmare attacks, forcing people to move to a new area just beyond the Underground Cavern. So, I'm sticking with that. It will take a full party just to take on Alice in an attempt to free her. Because there is another Maiden in BS form in Mary Skelter 2, I'll let you guess who.

Also, I am aware I called him Evol, and am well aware Evolt is supposed to be a pure evil bastard, following a cobra theme. I have this to say. Evol doesn't know what the suit actually is. He knows that it transforms him, but doesn't know the name of the form. So, the Kamen Rider name is still subject to his interpretation. (Though I've already got it decided. It's not Evol) That Evol thing I did on the synopsis, apologies for that. I was in the moment at the time, and just thought of Evol.

Next time though, introductions to a rather overbearing Blood Maiden. Evol finally gets some clothes? And we get more explanations! Yay…..next chapter will have no fights. Omega, saying bye for now! Updates are infrequent, based around my Deviantart account so be warned. It has the same name as my fanfic account if any are interested in searching it up.
