Tyson and Daichi both walked the halls quietly, not a word having passed from either of their shaking lips. The small specks of Kenny's blood was now smeared on Tyson's face, having been disturbed each time he brought his arm up to scrub the tears from his eyes. Daichi's grief was beyond tears and Tyson could hardly believe that the young red-head was even able to walk considering his legs shook like jelly. The only sounds that came from him were the terrified, gasping breaths that hissed from his lungs, not allowing a sob to break through. His eyes glistened, his whole body trembled and he held both of his arms up to his chest in a subconscious attempt to build a barrier between himself and the horrifying madness that was his one and only reality. Tyson had opened his mouth countless times to try and reassure the boy, to try and make him believe that there was hope and that they would escape, but how could he say that when even he himself didn't believe it? Instead, he placed a hand on the quivering boy's shoulder. Daichi looked up at Tyson and he looked back at him, finally coming up with something to say.
"I'm here for you man. Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you."
Daichi forced a smile and nodded. Tyson smiled, ruffling the kid's hair.
"Isn't that sweet?"
Tyson and Daichi both froze, the voice having come from behind them. They turned quickly and saw a uniformed soldier in a white Japanese mask walk out from one of the many corridors. He looked at them, his expression unreadable from behind the white mask, marked with features of a fox. A dark laugh came from behind it as he twirled a spear in his hand.
"Hello there children,"
Tyson grabbed Daichi's wrist and wrenched him down the halls, not stopping to see if the man was following.
"Run Daichi!" he shouted, "Run or we're both dead!"
Daichi began sprinting beside Tyson, his speed compensating for Tyson's longer strides. They both tore down the halls, hearing the rapid patter of the man's boots behind them. Tyson and Daichi both turned and skidded to a halt, feeling terror grip their hearts. It was a dead end. Tyson pulled Daichi around to go another way but there was the man, standing with his chest heaving slightly from the sprint. He laughed.
"No where to run, no where to hide,"
Tyson and Daichi backed up until their backs almost hit the walls. Tyson stood in front of Daichi, trying not to let his terror overcome him.
"Get lost!" Tyson barked, "Don't come any closer!"
The man laughed and advanced on them.
"I'm going to kill you both! Starting with the short one!"
Before the man could run the spear into Daichi, Tyson grabbed it with his hands, holding it firm and refusing to let it go any further. Daichi backed away fearfully, the tip of the spear no further than a few inches from his chest. Tyson and the masked man stood face to face, so close that Tyson could tell a scar tarnished the skin around the man's left eye. Tyson kicked the man away, pulling the spear at the same time so it slipped straight from the soldier's grasp. The man put his hand behind him and pulled out a long knife, half the size of a sword. He laughed and sliced at Tyson, forcing the teenager to defend himself. Tyson felt the blade slice through the skin on his arms as the furious onslaught continued. Tyson couldn't do anything but try and defend himself and to try to control the blind panic he felt begin to creep up from his chest.
"Hope you had a good life kid!"
The man raised the blade above Tyson's head as he stumbled and fell onto his back. Tyson saw the glittering silver steel above him and let out a cry of terrified dismay, raising the spear to defend himself. His eyes snapped shut and he waited for the blade to slice through him. He waited a few seconds, feeling nothing except something warm trickling over his white knuckles. He opened his eyes nervously and saw the man, slumped with his arms limp at his sides, impaled on the spear that Tyson was holding. The knife fell from the man's hand and he fell onto his side, dead. Tyson released the spear and scrambled back until his spine hit the wall. He breathed hard with tears streaking from his eyes and his heart pounding faster than the hooves of a thousand racing thoroughbreds. He and Daichi stared at the corpse in numb silence until Tyson's shaky voice finally croaked a few words.
"I... I killed him..."
Daichi pulled on Tyson's arm, his panic setting in.
"We have to get out of here! Come on Tyson! Please! We have to go, now! Please get up!"
Tyson nodded and raised himself on shaky legs. Daichi pulled him but he stopped. He stooped down and took both the long knife and the spear, hardly conscious of what he was doing. He swallowed and nodded.
"Let's go,"
--
Kai held his shoulder, trying his best to ignore the pain. He opened his mouth to say something when he stopped. The echo of a terrified scream bounced off the walls, reaching the group of four.
"That sounded like Tyson," Ray said nervously.
As if thinking the same thing, all four teenagers ran in the direction of the sound. Kai instantly pulled his 'new' machete from his belt, wincing as each footstep sent jolts of pain coursing through him from his injury. Hilary suddenly screamed and the group stopped instantly. Two masked soldiers strode out from a tunnel up ahead, blocking their way. One was a woman with mousy brown hair, and the other was a man. They both laughed coldly.
"Looky here bro!" the woman laughed in her hag-like voice, "We got ourselves a couple o' little young'uns who are blockin' our way!"
"We might havin' to get rid o' them," he replied, "Right sis?"
"Too right!"
"Ugh," Kai couldn't help but feel disgusted, "I'd know that stench anywhere. Anna and Vlak Mahon, the fucked up twins who kept trying to out-do me. I see your english hasn't improved. I swear you must have studied at retard school,"
"We're a lot stronger now Kai," Vlak said darkly.
Anna laughed darkly and hissed something in Russian.
Kai gritted his teeth.
"What did she say Kai?" Hilary asked nervously.
"Prepared to die, traitor," Kai replied. "That's what she said,"
The twins suddenly charged at Kai, Ray, Max and Hilary, not even waiting until their enemy was ready. Kai smirked but his smile vanished as they both ran straight past him and towards his friends. Kai twisted around and tackled Vlak to the ground but Anna grabbed Hilary around the throat and pushed her against the wall. Hilary choked and looked at Anna who came close and smelled Hilary. She laughed quietly.
"You smell nice little girl. My brother loves the ones like you, only not with these fancy little dresses on,"
Anna raised a knife but Hilary grabbed her fist before she could bring it down. Hilary could hardly breathe and choked for air as she fought off Anna. Hilary twisted the woman's wrist, forcing her to let go of the dagger. The teen girl then clenched her fist and punched Anna as hard as she could, feeling her nose crumple under her fist. Anna screamed and released Hilary instantly, holding her nose as the blood streamed out. Hilary fell to her knee's, holding her throat lightly and coughing, glad to have fresh air back in her lungs. Max was instantly at Hilary's side, pulling her to her feet but also scooping up the dropped dagger. Kai and Ray both fought Vlak, finding it hard to get around his sword. Kai deflected another strike with his machete then kicked Vlak away.
"We have to run," Kai said reluctantly, "They are stronger and I can't fight with my arm like this!"
Ray nodded and they both ran over to Hilary and Max who were already backing down the hallway. Kai grabbed Hilary's wrist and pulled her with him. Ray and Max ran close behind them as Vlak and Anna both looked at each other then gave chase. Hilary suddenly felt her foot sink and she stumbled, realising in horror that it was another trap keystone. Kai stopped and looked around as Max and Ray both pulled Hilary to her feet. They looked around as the tunnel began to vibrate. Anna and Vlak were gaining ground on them when Max looked to the ceiling. He bit his bottom lip and pushed Ray and Hilary into Kai, knocking all three away as the roof suddenly caved. Anna gave a terrified scream and Max cried out in dismay as the ceiling crumbled above them.
"MAX!" Kai and Ray roared as dust filled the area, hanging in the air like thick smoke.
Kai held Hilary close to him, protecting her with his body against the flying debris. The roar of falling concrete finally disappeared, leaving only the grey dust that breathed from the pile of debris. The three teenagers coughed harshly as the dust started to settle on the ground. Kai coughed and ran back towards the pile of rocks.
"MAX!" He yelled, "Max! Answer me!"
He heard a groan on agony and looked around, seeing Max laying on his back, everything below his navel buried beneath what would be at least a tonne of concrete. Kai, Ray and Hilary all crouched around him as he opened his eyes and gave a weak smile.
"You guys alright?"
Kai didn't answer. He looked at the rocks that were crushing Max and began frantically digging, trying in earnest to free his friend. All four heard Vlak and Anna coughing from the other side of the rubble pile. Max gritted his teeth and looked at Kai.
"What are you doing? G-get moving! Run!"
"Not without you!" Kai said, trying as hard as he could to lift a large slab that was too heavy for even him to shift.
"Kai, my body is crushed," Max said with a sad smile, "Even if you do manage to dig me up, I won't be going anywhere."
Ray dug at the rocks also, his tears pattering the stones. Hilary sobbed brokenly and stroked a hand through Max's hair.
"We're not leaving without you Maxy," Hilary whispered.
"We can't leave you here," Ray said.
They all heard the low murmur of Anna and Vlak who were both still alive.
"I can't get away anyway!" Max shouted at his friends, "Leave me here! I'm useless to you now! I can't even move!"
Kai threw away a smaller rock then pulled out his machete, standing and waiting for Vlak and Anna to appear.
"Then we'll stay here and protect you!" Kai replied.
Max sighed then smiled. He gripped Anna's fallen knife in his hand then jammed it into his own chest. Ray and Kai both turned in horror as Hilary screamed. Max smiled at them, letting his hand flop beside him as the blood escaped from around the dagger's blade.
"Now... you don't have to..."
Kai felt his whole body begin to shake as Max's eyes shrouded in a cloud of death and his eyes slowly closed. He jumped down and knelt beside Max.
"No no no, Max! Max, come on, don't fuck around with us! Not now!"
Kai shook Max but the blond didn't move. The small smile remained on his face, along with a single tear that moved slowly down his cheek.
"Max?" Hilary squeaked, shaking him, "Max, please! Please wake up Max!"
Ray sank to his knees and shook his head, letting his unbridled tears tumble from his eyes.
"No... Max,"
"MAX! OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES!" Kai roared.
Tears streaked down over his cobalt tattoos and he buried his face into his friends shirt, inches from where the dagger was. He gritted his teeth and took both the dagger, pulling it gently out of Max's chest. The blond boy was dead, and wasn't coming back. Kai stood up and held the dagger in his hand, taking up the machette in the other. He climbed quietly up the pile of rubble and waited. Ray and Hilary were too focused on Max, that was until they heard Anna give a death scream as Kai plunged the dagger into her throat. Hilary put her hands to her mouth in horror and Ray could only watch as Kai defended himself against Vlak. The man tackled Kai and then both rolled, or rather crashed, down the side of the rubble pile, landing hard near Hilary and Ray. Vlak punched Kai several times before the teen kicked the man in the stomach, following it with a swift slice with the machete. Vlak screamed as his arm came off, severed right at the elbow joint. Kai then twisted around and cut straight through Vlak's opposite leg, right through the knee. Vlak crumpled to the ground, screaming groaning in agony as his blood pooled around him at a frightening speed. Kai raised the blade above Vlak's head but two thin arms wrapped themselves around Kai's waist.
"No Kai! Stop!"
Kai froze and looked down. Hilary hugged him tight, her eyes unable to stop her tears and her body unable to stop it's shakes.
"Please stop Kai!" She sobbed, "Don't kill any more! Please Kai, there's been enough death!"
She cried into his shirt. Kai's hands shook around the blade hilt as he looked back down at Vlak. He'd been dead from blood loss soon anyway. The knife fell from Kai's shaking hands and he held Hilary tightly, his embrace protective like that of a lovers.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, "I'm sorry Hilary. I couldn't save Max,"
He released her and looked around. Ray was still kneeling, looking completely lost. He was devastated. Kai walked over and pulled Ray to his feet.
"Come on," Kai said quietly, looking down at Max's smiling face, "We... we have to go,"
Ray nodded and both he and Hilary followed Kai over the rubble and back the way they'd heard Tyson's scream.
--
Boris sat in a dark room, lit only by the glow of the three computer screens in front of him. One showed Tyson and Daichi with the second watching Kai, Hilary and Ray. The third was a map of the labyrinth with each person inside marked with a dot that moved with them. He watched as the dot representing Vlak disappeared. It was the sixth one that night. Boris grinned evilly. Oh, revenge was sweet. Kai was only three corners away from Tyson, and they didn't even know it.
--
Tyson and Daichi jogged through the maze, their lungs almost tearing with each agonising breath. Tyson was about to turn a corner when a huge, blunt object knocked him back, off his feet, and sent him crashing to the ground. Daichi stopped and backed up until his was next to Tyson, staring at the large man in front of them, hidden behind a fox mask. He was huge, as least twice the size of an adult and five times as muscles. He swung around a large club, wielding it as though it didn't weight thirty kilos. Tyson gasped for breath, desperate to replace the air that had been knocked from his lungs. The ogre-like man sighed.
"I was hoping you were Kai. I wanted to see him suffer after always calling me fat,"
"I can see why he would," Tyson muttered, "This guy is as big as a hippo."
Tyson groaned and got to his feet, glaring at the man. He smirked and put his hand on the wall, pushing in a keystone. Tyson and Daichi both turned around and saw a thick wall come out and block their way, just like the one that separated them from Kai and the others.
"Now there's no where for you to run," the man laughed.
Daichi and Tyson both looked back at him and gritted their teeth.
"Daichi," Tyson whispered, "I have a plan. This guy can only go for one person at a time. I'll distract him while you run around and get away. Once your far enough away, call out to him. He'll be too distracted to notice me running around him. Then we'll both run for it. You think you could do that?"
Daichi swallowed and nodded. Tyson smiled and both boys stepped away from each other.
"Oi fat boy!" Tyson called, "You said that Kai was making fun of you because you're fat? Well how can anyone blame him? You're about as big as a hippo! What did you do? Go out a buy a donut factory for your tenth birthday? They always say you are what you eat my friend and I think it's pretty obvious that you went out and ate a big fat guy!"
The man roared in anger and ran at Tyson. Daichi instantly ran out behind the man, who failed to notice his escape. Tyson saw the club swing around and narrowly dodged it. He ran around the man and towards Daichi and spun around and pointed. Tyson didn't have time to move as the club hit him with crushing force, sending him flying across the concrete floor. He rolled onto his side and lay still unable to move a bone in his aching body. Daichi watched him coming and noticed the side of his foot step down on another trap keystone, though not enough to set it off. He crouched beside Tyson whose mind was swimming in a sea of agony. He saw blood dripping from the back of Tyson's head, staining his blue hair crimson. Tyson groaned and rolled onto his back. He looked at Daichi.
"Run Daichi... Get out of here... while you still can,"
Daichi blinked, letting the tears fall from his eyes as he smiled.
"Thanks Tyson," he said, "You were the closest thing to a brother I've ever had. Good bye,"
Daichi stood up and ran, but not away from the man. Tyson watched in horror, unable to move his body.
"Daichi, no!"
Daichi skidded between the man's legs and pounded his fists down onto the keystone. The ground gave way beneath them and the man gave a cry of terror before falling down into the pit with Daichi. Tyson winced as he heard the sound of sharp metal piercing through flesh and the bloody gurgles of the man as he died. He couldn't hear Daichi. He rolled onto his stomach, his eyes flooded with tears.
"No," he whispered hoarsely, "Oh God, please no! Not Daichi. DAICHI!"
His voice echoed down the halls, but the young red head didn't respond.
"DAICHI!" Tyson shouted again but once again, there was no answer.
He dragged himself towards the pit, slowly but surely, until he reached the edge. The pit's floor had been filled with large metal spikes. Tyson gave a howl of misery and buried his face in his arms, letting the sobs take control of his body. Daichi had died to save his life.
--
Kai, Ray and Hilary all heard Tyson's screams. Terror filled each of them as they ran faster, desperate to reach their friends. A cold laugh came from the voice boxes on the walls.
"Run run run my little mice," Boris laughed, "You are so close! Not only to each other, but to the way out! Oh now that's no fun, Kai. I can't have you ALL of you making it to the escape."
Kai felt his blood run cold. Ray hear something from the wall and pushed Hilary to the ground as a spear shot out of the wall, shooting straight through Ray's stomach and into Kai's already injured shoulder, pinning him to the wall. Both boys cried out in agony and Hilary turned, screaming at the sight. Kai's feet weren't even touching the ground. He dropped his machete and just hung from his shoulder, which the spear hadn't even completely gone through. Ray choked a little, a ribbon of blood coming from the corners of his lips. He looked up at Kai and spat blood.
"It's up to you... Kai," Ray gasped, "Get out of here,"
Kai held the metal spear, trying to hold himself up a little.
"W-what are you... talking about?" Kai hissed through his teeth, "You're coming too!"
Ray dug his feet into the ground and took the spear in his hand. He pulled on it, forcing it back through his stomach and into the wall.
"No, stop!" Kai cried.
Ray didn't stop. His feet slid on the ground as he pulled with all of his strength, trying hard to pull the pole through his stomach and not to pull himself up the pole. Kai felt the spear move forward then he suddenly fell to the ground as he fell off the end of the spear. Ray smiled and slumped back against the wall. Hilary hurried over to Kai, helping him up and over to Ray. The chinese teenager smirked at Kai.
"Before you start, look at where the spear went through,"
Kai looked. It has skewered him through the upper part of his stomach, right below the sternum. If the pole was removed, he'd die instantly. Ray's amber eyes began to cloud over.
"Go Kai. Find Tyson, Daichi and Kenny. You guys can still get out alive. Go,"
Hilary put her arms around Ray, "Please don't die Ray! Not you too! Please don't leave us!"
He rested his head on her shoulder.
"Come on Ray," she said, "We'll get you out of here,"
"Hilary," Kai whispered with tears in his eyes.
As Hilary held Ray, she could no longer feel the thuds of his heart, nor the breathing motions of his chest. He was gone.
"RAY!" She screamed, "No! Not you too! Please don't die!"
Kai felt his knees go weak but didn't fall. He heard the sounds of combat boots patting on the concrete floor, coming towards them. The pole suddenly zipped back into the wall, letting Ray's corpse fall. Kai caught his friend's body quickly, feeling the blood pour out from his back and all over his arms. Blood was on Hilary's face and she felt to her knees, shaking in absolute terror. Kai laid Ray down as the footsteps grew closer.
They had to get out of there. Kai couldn't fight and Hilary was too scared to even move. They had to move. Kai stood on shaky limbs and pulled Hilary up. They both turned and ran from the approaching person.
--
Tyson walked like a lost soul, his feet dragging slightly on the ground and his eyes dull, as though his tears had washed away the light. He'd heard Hilary's scream and walked that way. Hopefully he'd run into her, though he also hoped that he'd run into the enemy. Just so they could put him out of his misery.
--
Kai and Hilary ran as fast as their limbs would carry them, with their feet stammering across the concrete floor. They tore down the cement tunnel, not pausing for a moment to look behind them. Tears streaked down Hilary's face, flying off her cheeks and sprinkling the ground in their wake. Blood was flecked across their clothes and it coated Kai's arms like elbow lengthed gloves. He gritted his teeth and tried to keep the fear suppressed as it welled within him. The fear was all that was driving Hilary, otherwise she would have given up long ago.
Kai chanced a glance over to her. The pain that he saw written on her face was enough to make him tear his eyes away once more. He looked back down the tunnel. It was winding and long, with no windows or doors, let alone any distinguishing features. Only more tunnels, more dead ends and more misery. There had to be some way out of Boris's labywrinth of death. Hilary suddenly stumbled on the ground, the concrete tearing at her fragile skin as though it were wet paper. Her hand slipped out of Kai's and he stopped instantly. He turned and dropped to one knee at her side.
"Come on, we have to keep moving!" He hissed, trying to keep his voice down as much as his fear would allow.
Fear. Now that was a feeling that Kai hadn't felt in a long time. This reminder was ten times worse than anything he would have imagined. It was cold, powerful to the point that it almost controlled him. It had already taken over his heart with each of it's icy tendrils coiling around it like a viper. Just like a mouse trapped within the coils of a python, his heart raced and writhed like crazy, unable to shake the frosty and unrelenting grip. It was almost more than he could stand. Though, whatever he felt was only the tip of what Hilary must have been feeling. She was trembling all over as she lifted herself onto her hands and knees, her bangs falling around her face and catching few of the tear drops that streamed from her eyes. She sat back on the floor, unable to move. Kai could see she was about to give up.
"No, Hilary, look at me!" He whispered, "Hilary! Look at me!"
She looked up at him slowly, her flowing eyes wide and filled with terror... and guilt.
"It's my fault," she whispered, her voice hoarse from screaming, "It's all my fault Kai. It's my fault they're dead,"
"We don't know that the others are dead!" Kai said firmly, "Come on, we have to go!"
"That's right Kai. Just keep running,"
Kai and Hilary whipped around in horror and saw Boris standing there. He wore a sadistic smirk as he toyed with the machete Kai had dropped when Ray had died. Hilary screamed and backed away. Kai stood in front of her, watching Boris carefully.
"You've finally come out of hiding," Kai hissed, "I'll kill you for what you did,"
Boris's smiled widened as Kai ran at him.
--
Tyson ran through the labyrinth, the sound of Hilary's second scream stirring him into action. He sprinted through the winding tunnels until he finally saw her up ahead with her back to him. He couldn't help but feel overwhelming joy. She wasn't dead!
"Hilary!"
She looked around, her face a picture of terror.
"T-Tyson?"
He stopped beside her and hugged her tight, not wanting to let go lest she too was taken from him.
"I'm so glad you're alive!" Tyson said with tears falling from his eyes, "I'm so glad!"
"They're dead," she whispered into his ear, "Max and Ray... Th-they're dead Tyson,"
Tyson's blood ran cold.
"No..." he whispered, his tears turning to that of sorrow, "Not them too,"
Tyson fell to his knees, holding Hilary around the waist and crying into his thin stomach.
"Kenny and Daichi, they died too. They're dead,"
Tyson released Hilary and cried at her feet. Kai suddenly gave a cry of pain and was kicked back onto his side. Tyson looked up and crawled over to Kai, releaved that he too was alive. He helped Kai to a sitting position and they both looked up as Boris approached them. He laughed coldly.
"So, you're both here in front of me now,"
Tyson gritted his teeth, "You dirty slimy piece of shit! I'll fucking KILL YOU!"
He pulled his knife out and stabbed at Boris who easily side stepped and avoided the attack. Kai growled and reached his hands out for Boris's throat but the evil man threw Kai beside Tyson. He threw the machete away and reached behind him.
"You know what's sad?" he said in a mocking voice, "The exit is right here,"
He looked up. Kai, Tyson and Hilary all followed his gaze and saw a trap door in the ceiling with a small rope attached. As if to prove his point, Boris reached up and pulled the string, opening the hatch but stopping it halfway as a ladder half unfolded automatically. He laughed and closed it again. He smirked and pulled a gun out from behind him, taking it out of his belt. Kai and Tyson froze as Boris aimed the gun barrel straight at Kai's face.
"Happy Birthday, Kai,"
"NO!"
Hilary suddenly jumped on Boris's back, wrapping her thin arms around his neck, trying to choke the life out of him.
"I won't let you hurt them!" She screamed.
Boris growled and grabbed her, pulling her around and holding her in front of him, holding the gun barrel under her chin. He laughed darkly.
"Oh this will be fun!" He said, "It's obvious that you both care for this girl so here's the deal. One of you must kill the other. If that happens, then I will let the winner and the girl go free,"
Kai and Tyson looked at each other in horror.
"We can't do that!" Tyson and Kai both yelled, every note of their tone's carrying intense emotional agony.
Hilary gritted her teeth. "You won't!"
She stomped down hard on Boris's foot, making him swear vehemently but not let her go. She took his hand that held the gun and aimed it into her torso, right below her breasts. The gun fired and both Hilary and Boris were shot. Kai scrambled forward and caught Hilary before she hit the ground, holding her in his arms.
"No! Why did you do that?!" He asked in panic, "We could have saved you!"
Hilary smiled and put a shaky hand on his cheek.
"I did it because I love you Kai," she whispered, "Please, get out of here. You and Tyson both get out of here,"
"Please don't die," Kai begged, tears welling in his eyes, "Please! I love you Hilary, you can't die!"
Hilary's hand hooked around the back of his neck and she pulled him close. Their lips touched and she kissed him. Kai kissed her back then, felt the air as her last breath passed out through her rosy lips. Her hand fell limp beside her and she was gone. Kai's shaking arms lowered her to the ground and let her rest there. Tears poured from both his and Tyson's eyes as their last friend died. Their attention was suddenly brought back as Boris coughed up blood. He was on his stomach dragging his bleeding body away as fast as he could. Panic gripped Boris as he heard both Tyson and Kai walk over and stand beside him. Tyson kicked Boris onto his back and looked down at him coldly.
"It's just like gutting a cane toad," Kai said with a grim smirk, "Get it on it's back and tear open the stomach,"
Tyson and Kai were both holding the knives they'd first stolen in the labyrinth, the dagger and the machete. Boris screamed in fear as Kai and Tyson both brought the blades down, tearing them straight through Boris as though he were made up of soggy tissue paper. They pulled the knives back out of him, watching as he took one last dying breath. Then, he lay still. Kai and Tyson both threw the blades away and walked over to the wall, putting their backs to it and sliding down until they sat side by side.
"What now?" Tyson asked quietly.
Kai looked up at the exit. His eyes then shifted to the gun that lay on the floor with only two shots left in it. Tyson's eyes were also on it.
"They died so we could live," he said quietly.
"Living without them isn't living," Tyson said, "It's existing. We can exist without them, but we'll never be able to live."
"Either way," Kai said quietly, "Hilary told me not to die. She said we both had to get out of here. If there's one thing we can do, it's honour our friend's last wish."
Tyson nodded and stood up with Kai. They both looked at the trap door exit. Kai reached up and took the string.
"We'll be back for your Hilary, Ray and Max," Kai said.
"We just need some help," Tyson added, "Don't worry Kenny and Daichi, we'll get you out of here."
