Both of them got up and were in front of a fireplace with a live fire.
Blaze shook her head a bit, "Ow what happened?" Blaze placed her hand on her head when she was hit.
"Ugh, I've got a monster headache", Silver said, rubbing the spot where he was hit.
At that moment, a girl arrived to them, no ordinary girl, she had tentacles coming out her body and some extra faces hiding her own face, and her legs were chained together and she had a wooded manacle with iron.
"What's that?" Blaze asked.
The girl swung at them but they ducked, Silver then shot her but she barely flinched.
"What the? My shots aren't doing anything", Silver said.
"Lets run!" Blaze said.
Both of them ran off out of the cabin.
"What was she?" Blaze asked.
"Was she what Shadow warned us about?" Silver asked.
"Well lets continue the exploring, we have the crank, we can drain that water", Blaze said.
"You think Shadow was around there?" Silver asked.
"If he was, he's gone now, I don't know where though", Blaze said.
"We'll find him later, he's capable of handling himself, he IS the captain", Silver said.
They walked though the area and made their way back to the mansion, they used the double door in the room that led them out to the gate area.
At that moment, they heard some static coming from the radio, so Blaze held it to her ear.
"This is Antoine, if you can hear me just give me a sign, anything", Antoine said over the radio.
"Blaze to Antoine, can you hear me?" Blaze asked.
There was no answer.
"Shit, it's broken", Blaze said.
"Broken? We can't communicate with a broken radio, damn", Silver said.
"We'll have to make good with it for now", Blaze said, both then went on to the needed area.
Silver then drained the water hole while Blaze provided cover in case a monster comes.
Silver managed to drain the lake and a path was shown and a dead body was on the path.
They went down the ladder and carefully stepped over the dead body
After they stepped over, the dead body stood up and walked toward them, but they shot it back and left it in a pool of it's own blood.
They then climbed the ladder and some little adders (AKA snakes) dropped down in front of them.
They each grabbed a knife and slashed up each adder that lunged at them.
They then went to an elevator and went down and appeared at a fountain area.
"What's this area?" Silver asked.
Some Cerberus then came and lunged at them but Blaze and Silver shot each one in the mouth.
They saw a gate in the distance that peeked their interests.
"Lets go there", Blaze said.
They went through the gate and followed a path that led them to an old residence area.
"What can this place be?" Silver asked.
They peeked inside and noticed a zombie coming down the hall.
"Damn, they're here too", Silver said and shot the zombie in the forehead.
They then went down a hall and went through a double door but saw some web spinners (giant spiders) in the area, they backed out the area.
"Those spiders were huge", Silver said.
"Lets not take a chance, come on, lets go down the other hall", Blaze said.
They passed by some crates and walked through a door and then down a hall.
They walked down the hall until Blaze thought she heard something and put her ear to the door.
"That wasn't part of our deal, like I said I have my orders", one voice said.
"But it's not necessary to destroy S.T.A.R.S.", another voice said.
"Don't be a hard dog to keep under the porch Rob O'", the first voice said.
"What about my family?" Rob O' asked.
"I will guarantee their safety, if I play my cards right", the other voice said.
Blaze seemed confused about what she heard.
"What was that all about?" Silver asked.
Both decided to go into the room and they saw Rob O.
"Blaze, Silver", Rob O' said.
"Rob O', I heard someone talking", Blaze said.
"Oh, you heard", Rob O' said and walked toward a mirror, "My mind is starting to take a toll, talking to myself has become a bad habit", Rob O' said.
"Talking to yourself, you all right, what's gotten into you?" Blaze asked.
Silver stood there just as confused about the situation.
"I'm getting you worried aren't I?", Rob O' said and turned away, "But don't you worry.........I guess this creepy mansion has gotten to my nerves, anyway, I should go outside and get some fresh air for a change", he started walking to the door, Blaze and Silver were gonna follow but he stopped momentarily, "Don't worry, I'm going to get some fresh air, I'll be lucky if I get to waste some monsters along the way", Rob O' said and walked out.
Silver and Blaze were a little confused.
"What's happening to him? Talking to himself? That doesn't sound like Rob O' at all", Silver said.
"Guess it's a mentality issue like he said, but I swear one of the voices sounded familiar", Blaze said.
"No one else is in the room, could they have left that fast?" Silver asked.
"Lets take a look around, we'll probably find something of interest", Blaze said.
They looked around the room and Silver noticed some scratch marks on the floor.
"Hm, maybe I can move this case", Silver then pushed the bookcase and a ladder was shown.
"What could be down there?" Blaze asked.
"Only one way to find out", Silver said.
They both climbed down the ladder and found themselves in a hallway that looks like it leads to a pool.
"Interesting", Blaze said.
They walked down the hall and turned a corner to a part that was starting to fill with water.
"It's wet here", Blaze said.
"Is there a flood in that room?" Silver asked.
They went through a door and saw that they were in an aqua rink.
"What the hell is this place?" Silver asked.
They walked around the area and noticed Charmy with his back against a rail.
"Charmy?" Silver asked.
"Wait, how did he even get here?" Blaze asked.
"Silver! Blaze!" Charmy said.
Charmy then saw a shark coming at the two.
"Silver, Blaze, stop!" Charmy said and pushed them out the way then braced himself for the shark and he was swallowed hole by the shark.
Silver and Blaze looked in the water.
"Charmy", Silver said.
"We gotta save him, you think he was swallowed hole? We could try to get him out fast", Blaze said.
"How?" Silver asked.
"Drain this place", Blaze said.
They quickly ran to a nearby room full of control, it had a good underwater view of the aqua rink.
"Ok, I'll activate the drain", Silver said, then pulled a lever and started draining the tank.
At that point the shark rammed into the glass and caused panic.
"If that shark keeps ramming, we're gonna drown in here!" Silver said.
"I'll activate the shutters, you reactivate afterwards", Blaze said.
Blaze activated the shutters to protect the glass and Silver reactivated the drain.
In a matter of seconds, the entire tank was empty.
"Phew, that was close, any later we should have drowned", Blaze said.
"Or be shark food", Silver said.
"Speaking of Shark food, lets see if we can get Charmy out of that shark's body", Blaze said.
They both went to another door that led them down to the bottom of the rink.
While walking down there, they noticed an Assault Shotgun.
"That's Charmy's", Silver said and picked it up.
"Shit, quick lets get to that Shark", Silver said.
They ran down the area and saw the shark immobile and in some left over water.
"Is it dead?" Silver asked.
"Lets be cautious", Blaze said.
They quickly passed by the shark and went up a small set of stairs to a platform with a lot of controls.
Blazed used her shotgun to poke the shark's face and eye, but it generated no response.
"I think it's dead", Blaze said and got into the water, "I'm gonna open its mouth and see-" Blaze was interrupted when the shark came alive and nearly chomped on Blaze but lucky for her, Silver reacted fast and pulled her our of harm's way.
"Damn, it's still alive!" Blaze said.
"We're trapped to, if we try to run it's gonna chomp us", Silver said.
"I guess we need to shoot it", Blaze said and readied the assault shotgun.
Silver noticed a switch that lead to another machine.
"Wait, I have another idea, knock that panel into the water", Silver said.
"Why?" Blaze asked.
"Just do it, I have an idea", Silver said.
Blaze didn't argue and kicked the panel into the water, then Silver turned on a switch and the electricity flowed into the panel and electrocuted the shark.
The panel short circuited and it was safe to enter the water.
Silver used his knife to cut open the shark's stomach and pulled Charmy out and placed him on the panel.
"Charmy, can you hear me?" Silver asked.
Charmy barely moved, Blaze and Silver noticed he had a bite mark on his abs, presumably he was fighting to escape.
"Charmy answer me", Blaze said, getting a bit worried.
Charmy weakly chuckled.
"I guess....I have a bad habit.....if getting myself bitten after pushing people out the way", Charmy said.
"It's not Charmy, you're just being a hero, you're a good person", Blaze said.
"Well you two are safe....I have no regrets.....I guess it's time for me to make my leave", Charmy said.
"No don't, you'll be fine Charmy, we'll give you some-", Blaze was interrupted by Charmy, "It's ok......I'm glad I can die being useful......just promise you'll get out alive.......and make sure you keep Mina safe", Charmy said.
"We'll get you out of here too, just hang in there", Silver said.
"It's no use.....I'm done........see you on the other side one day", Charmy said.
Silver attempted to put his shotgun beside him but Charmy turned it away.
"You keep it......I won't be needing it anymore......tell Mina I'll miss her......I wish her the best........good-bye team", Charmy said, then laid back with his eyes closed and going limp on them.
Silver and Blaze looked like they were gonna go into tears, but they let that pass, they knew there was still work to be done, Charmy's death would not be in vain.
They headed back to the area they were initially in.
"We should look for a part of this hallway we didn't explore", Silver said.
"There was another door, lets check there", Blaze said.
They went down the hallway and checked in a room filled with some test tubes.
"Guess this room was used for some science", Silver said, then swatted away a bee.
"That was weird", Blaze said and heard some more buzzing.
They used their knifes to swat off a few more bees.
"Quick, to the double doors!" Silver said.
They went through the doors.
"Well that was close", Silver said.
They heard something weird, all leafy like, both looked up and saw a giant plant with moving vines, the dreaded Plant 42.
"Oh shit!" Blaze said.
The plant slammed down on them but both jumped out of the way.
"How do we kill that thing?" Blaze asked.
"Shoot it!" Silver said.
Blaze rolled her eyes and shot it with their handgun.
Mina entered the room and was awed by the size of the plant.
"What is that!?" Mina asked.
Rob O' also arrived and was armed with a flamethrower.
"What the hell is this thing!?" Rob O' asked.
Silver and Blaze continued shooting and the plant grabbed both of them.
"I got to kill this thing, damn it's so big", Rob O' said.
Mina had an idea.
"I read something about a V-Jolt formula, I'll be back!" Mina said and ran to a nearby medicine room.
Rob O' hit the plant with the flamethrower and it hurt the plant but it smacked Rob O' back.
Silver screamed in agony and then grabbed his knife and slashed the vine and he landed on the floor.
He grabbed his shotgun and shot the plant but was smacked back as well.
Blaze was slammed to the floor but she managed to grab the Assault Shotgun and shoot the plant, but it tossed her up to the second floor.
Meanwhile Mina was already finishing up the V-Jolt formula and put in the final ingredient.
"Better run down to the roots, based on where the plant is, and thanks to this map I think I can locate it", Mina said.
She ran out the room and went to the path of the aqua tank.
Meanwhile, Rob O' was shooting the plant with the flamethrower.
"DIE YOU DAMN UGLY PLANT!" Rob O' said.
The plant spurt out some acid and everyone dodged out the way, though Rob O' caught some on the arm and it burned his skin a bit.
"Damn!" Rob O' said and grabbed his gun briefly and shot the plant.
Silver and Blaze resumed their gunshots for a few moments and the plant started getting agitated, then it picked all three up and shook them around a bit.
"What's this thing trying to do......WHOA.........make us throw up til we're dead?" Silver asked.
Mina rushed down and ran into the control room door.
"Damn, wrong door", Mina said and tried the other door, "I hope this is correct", Mina opened and saw a room with tentacles and roots, "Good, now tp pour the formula", Mina said and administered the V-Jolt.
The plant started going out of control and it tossed all 3 of them down.
"Mina must had used the formula, take it down!" Rob O' said.
He then burned the plant with the flamethrower, white Silver and Blaze used their shotguns to take it down.
After a few minutes, the plant's dead.
"That was close", Rob O' said.
"Good, maybe we should leave and find other survivors", Blaze said.
Mina went up to Silver and Blaze.
"Are you ok?" Mina asked.
"We're fine", Blaze responded.
"But....Charmy......he's..........gone", Silver said, barely able to admit it.
Mina looked as if she were gonna cry.
"I'm sorry.....", Mina responded.
"It's my fault, I should have.......watched out for him", Silver said.
Mina didn't respond, she just walked back into the pharmaceutical room.
"Mina......", Silver said.
"Lets leave her alone for now, she probably needs space", Blaze said.
Silver nodded, then left the area with Blaze.
As they were going back to the front, they heard some gunshots.
They ran over and saw Shadow taking down a few bees.
"Shadow?" Blaze asked.
Shadow turned around.
"Silver, Blaze, you're alive", Shadow said.
"Our words exactly, anyway we better find a way out of here before we're turned into zombie food, got any suggestions Shadow", Silver stated.
"We should get a better grip on the situation, there still to be explored in that mansion, I want you both to check them out one more time, I'll continue my investigation here", Shadow said.
"Sure", Silver said as Shadow departed.
They left the area and headed out the residence.
"Well at least we know Shadow's still alive", Blaze said.
"That's makes 5 of us, 6 counting Brad, but there's one person we need to find", Silver said.
"Right, lets go", Blaze said and both walked down the path to the gate.
Along the way, the radio went off and Silver listened to it.
"This is Antoine, if you can't answer me, somehow give me a sign", Antoine said over the radio.
"Silver to Antoine, can you hear me!?" Silver asked but got no response, "Antoine!" still no response, "Damn!"
Silver put the radio away and both Silver and Blaze went back to the waterfall area.
Blaze noticed something.
"I think here's a path behind this waterfall, how do we get there?" Blaze said.
"Water's too strong, though I think I heard this waterfall happen when we drained the area, maybe it needs to be drained back", Silver said.
"...........That's gonna mean we need to swim back", Blaze said.
"We have no choice unless........hey what's that?" Silver asked.
They looked over and saw an elevator, with a battery slot missing.
"We'll need a battery", Silver said.
"Lets head back to the mansion", Blaze said.
They went back to the mansion and walked to the entrance area and saw some ammo there with a note.
"I left this ammo to help protect you from that girl in chains, and I fixed that piece of crap door, ~Rob O", the note said.
They got some ammo for the magnum, grenade launcher, handguns and shotguns, also some health items.
"Where does he get all this ammo?" Silver asked.
"Considering he's part of the NRA, I imagine he has an unlimited supply to ammo", Blaze said.
"Point taken, let's reload and move out", Silver said.
They went through the door and down the hall to check the door.
On the way a creature ran from the fountain area, to the gate, to the dock house like place, down the path to the mansion itself and then appeared behind the duo.
Both turned around and saw a reptilian creature.
"What the hell!? Silver asked.
The creature swiped at them with it's claws but they jumped back, then it leapt into the air and attempted a decapitation blow but Silver grabbed his magnum and shot the creature dead.
"What was that?" Silver asked.
"Looked like it wanted to hunt us", Blaze said.
"I hope that's the only one", Silver said.
They went through the door but more of the creatures spawned.
"Not good", Blaze said.
Both of them fired their shotguns at the monsters and killed them.
"Shit, this isn't gonna be good", Silver said.
"It's gonna be hard to explore the mansion with these creatures around", Blaze said.
"Lets focus on one area, I remember a door in that room with the spears we never checked out", Silver said.
"Lets go then", Blaze said.
They went to the area and peeked in.
"Hm, looks quiet", Silver said.
They walked around the area and checked around.
They came to another door and peeked inside and saw a library.
"Interesting", Silver said.
They walked down the area then they heard glass break.
They looked behind them and saw Yawn the giant snake.
"Not that thing again!" Silver said.
They went down to a lower floor and waited for the snake to come.
Once it did, they opened fire with their shotguns and stunned it a bit but it lunged at them and nearly killed them, lucky for them they dodged out the way.
Blaze then grabbed her grenade launcher and loaded it with acid rounds and opened fire on the snake, the acid causing severe damage to the skin.
The snake went up to her and Silver saw it was under the chandelier.
"Blaze, move away!" Silver said and shot the chandelier and it fell and hit Yawn as Blaze rolled out the way.
The snake was stunned but it was still ready to fight, then it lunged at Silver but he shot it with the magnum a few times, then the snake reeled back and forth with pain and it crashed through the double doors.
"Good, it's dead", Silver said.
"Lets just check that area", Blaze said and they walked down the hallway went to a closet.
"Anything in here?" Silver asked.
Blaze looked around and saw a battery on a shelf.
"You think this will work?" Blaze asked.
"It should fit, lets go", Silver said, both making their way back to where they came from.
