Chapter 7: Ending a Cliffhanger

Before we go through our group of 13, let us quickly look at what every villain was doing after Walter's surprise Victim intro.

"...Don't you ever do something like that again...to us." Dahlia said weakly

"I just wanted to test them, you know see if they have any bugs, though they are corpses there may be something crawling inside them hehehe." Walter joked

"I'm covered in hair!" Josh moaned

"I think one of them bit me." Pyramid Head said

"Well aren't you special Walter! Special! Special! Special!" Dr. Kaufmann sarcastically said rather angry at Walter's...'test'.

"I never remember the 21 Sacraments doing that to the Victims of the ritual." Claudia weakly said

"Oh, that? Well, I did it in Silent Hill, or at least in places near there so there were some side-effects, but I took it as a...exchange for being one step closer to the completion." Walter said

"So in other words you had no idea at first." Dahlia translated

"Who cares! Now, Lisa bring me my health drinks!" Dr Kaufmann ordered

There was no response.

"Lisa! Answer me, don't even give me the silent treatment I have plenty of 'medicine' to make you talk again you bimbo!" Dr Kaufmann said angrily

There was still no response.

"Walter did those 'things' kill Lisa!" Dr. Kaufmann said

"No, I set them to scare, not kill." Walter said defensively

"LISA!" Dr. Kaufmann roared

"Ow, my ear at least warn us next time you are about to yell." Josh said being the closest to him.

"She's not here! Why is she not here!" Dr. Kaufmann said

"We would have seen her go if we weren't distracted by your Victims! Walter!" Claudia said accusingly

"Don't blame me, blame the guy who came in last, and forgot to seal the room!" Walter said

"That would be you, you waste of skin." Pyramid Head said

At this Walter had no comment simply shrugged, and began loading his pistol, for his time to shine. Dr. Kaufmann on the other hand was pissed, though he did not vent his anger, scream, or cursed, or even throw a chair he did however had that mood telling people nearby that he will sucker punch the nearest living thing to step into his aura.

"I think I gave her too long a life, it's time I chocked a bitch!" Dr. Kaufmann simply said

"I see, then let me think of a way to get rid of her as well." Walter offered

"It's nice to see that you are thinking for the first time in your life, but I can handle this, I just need to make some 'adjustments' to the much larger creatures we have waiting for them." Dr. Kaufmann said.

"I guess I'll go to, I don't know where that hole took them" Pyramid Head said glaring at Walter for a moment. "But they'll escape sooner or later...or die, but I still want to get ahead of them just in case." Pyramid Head said

He stood up, took both the spear, and sword, and began walking into the shadows were the supposed exit was.

"On second thought here Kaufmann take it, I don't need it anymore." Pyramid Head suddenly said

He tosses his spear at Dr. Kaufmann who was taken by surprise by it, and was knocked off his chair, the spear was on top of him, and felt like a weight lifting bar right on his chest"

"Ow, Damn it! you idiot, give me some warning first!" Dr. Kaufmann complained

"Nah, it wouldn't be as funny now would it?" Pyramid Head scoffed.

"Why are you giving it to me anyways?" Dr. Kaufmann asked

"Because sooner or later my Knife will return to me, and therefore I would need to make space, in the meantime this sword alone will do." Pyramid Head explained

"I have never heard of a doctor using such a long bladed weapon like this, and besides look at it! It's almost completely rusted, the tip is broken there is no possible grip, I will require gloves to even hold it without hurting my hands, it is too heavy, there are cracks in the bladed edges, it can barely be concealed, it has a strange odor, it does not suit me, and-" Dr. Kaufmann went on

"Don't leave us with this male bitch!" Walter said

Pyramid Head though was nowhere to be seen, he left about halfway into Kufmann's rant which is still going on.

"It's also fairly horribly disfigured, that won't do, you can't scare anyone with this, especially when the enemy has guns, and also this cannot defend me from bullets, and most melee attacks, there are also very few spots where I can even use it to my full advantage, it is too long, the blade is too short, I never used a spear, I can't throw it, or sell it, and it can't help with medicine, or operations, and where would I keep it?" Dr. Kaufmann still kept going

"SHUT UP" Everyone yelled

"...Fine I'll make some arrangements to it, to fit my needs." Dr Kaufmann said inspecting the spear as if it were one of his patients.

"Good! Fine! Just shut up, and leave!" Dahlia said hearing enough of his rant for one day.

"Inspection to detail is the reason why you all can't succeed in life, and even the afterlife apparently." Dr. Kaufmann scoffed

With that said he left the dark room to meet with another recently resurrected acquaintance to assist him with upgrading the Spear.

"I'll leave as well I feel that I must make myself known to everyone, Claudia even though you have less experience with the occult you are welcome to join me." Dahlia proposed

"I'm only behind you by what 6 years or so, and besides I started earlier than you did." Claudia said appalled

"Yes, but I basically rebuild our entire religion from the ground up, and who got selected to be high priestess again hm?" Dahlia said

"...I'm starting to hate this relationship..." Claudia thought to herself

Soon the two left leaving Walter, and Josh alone, it was an awkward silence only because they have nothing in common.

"So...do you have a brother?" Josh said trying to end the silence

"No" Walter said flat out

"...you have a mom? Walter asked

"Dead..." Josh simply said

"Oh..." Walter simply said

It was still quiet, and there was nothing to do, it seems as if they might be like this for a while so let's move on to everyone else.

Back at the Library

"You know we have been standing here looking at this book for a while now, shouldn't we get going?" Travis said.

"Uh, yeah you're right alright what's our next important location?" Alex asked Harry.

"Hang on let me see..." Harry said drawing out the map, and spreading it on the table. "Well I wanted to look at the hint for killing the giant...thing, but that hint we just saw is completely useless now. So we got to go to the roof." Harry explained

"You heard him let's go people." Elle said arcing her arms towards the door they entered from.

"Can we walk now?" Laura said just now catching her breath.

"Sure we can walk" Cybil said.

The team had left the library, and began turning back to the Library Reserve.

"Huh? That's funny." Harry said to no one in particular.

"What is it?" Heather asked

"Well in this version of the school there were a whole bunch of large Cockroaches, but we haven't bumped into any of them." Harry said as he entered the room. "Maybe they are all go-" Harry said, but took a good look around with everyone else when they saw the whole swarm of Cockroaches.

"Wh-what a bunch of bull! they weren't here before!" Travis complained

"This is Silent Hill! This whole town has no excuse for crap like this to happen suddenly!" Alex said

"I think I fought the smaller looking ones" James said trying to point out some of them.

"James that make no difference! Eek!" Maria said as one move too close to her foot.

"I really hate bugs! Why, why, WHY! Did it have to be bugs!" Heather said slightly panicked

Tina had just woken up from a nap in James's coat, and jumped onto the table, and began hissing at all of them.

"I think Tina agrees with Heather, Ah!" Laura jumped back. "And me too!"

Well I think this can't get any worse right guys." James said

"Ugh!" Everyone moaned

When James said the 'magic' words some Swarms hanging from the bottom of the table had just woken up, and began flying across the room, not only that it signaled some of the Swarms resembling Cockroaches to take flight as well, and fly around joining the other Swarm.

"Great, just great, why don't you say it again for good measure James." Alex said

"Can this get any-" James began, but his mouth was covered up by Maria's hand

"Huh...I was wondering when something else I recognized was going to show up next." Henry said

"Can you please, please! Make them go away!" Eileen said frighteningly

"Come on they're just a bunch of insects!" Cybil said trying to sound convincing, but she too had a hatred/fear of bugs

"Yeah what's the worse they can do to us?" Elle said trying to not make them seem like a threat

"Yeah...I'll just stand on top of the table if it's okay with everyone." Lisa said

"Wait you can help us Lisa, does anyone have an extra weapon they forgot?" Travis said

"I'm keeping my hammer." Harry said

"My chainsaw, is..." James began trying to activate his chainsaw. "Out of gas...sorry." James apologized

"I only have this steel pipe" Maria said shaking her pipe.

"I just have this hammer I found in Henry's apartment." Laura said

"Well, I could give her the maul, but it's a little heavy." Heather said

"What about the Katana you've brought with you?" Harry said

"Huh! Wait I was saving it!" Heather said

"Just give it to Lisa, she needs it more than you do." Harry ordered

"What's a Katana doing in a place like this anyways?" Travis asked

"How come the insects haven't attacked us yet?" Henry also asked

"I'm not doing it!" Heather said

"We don't have time for this!" Harry said

"...only borrow" Heather said reluctantly handing over her Katana to Lisa, and drawing out her knife.

"Okay everyone let's attack them before they attack us" Alex said drawing out his combat knife

"Stomp, squish, and smash, Alright!" James said though he decided on just stomping.

Tina showed her claws, and jumped onto the floor to begin slashing, and cutting anything smaller than her.

"I'm gonna go crazy!" Laura said, and ran towards a group of Cockroaches with her hammer

"At least with this I won't get too close to those things." Maria said looking at her Steel Pipe, and joining Laura

"Maybe I can swat out those flying bugs with my maul." Heather said eying her maul, and dragged it towards some nearby Swarms.

"Elle, I we're both top shots wanna see who can take out the most with one clip, on top of the table?" Cybil said challenging Elle

"You're on, the loser cleans the winner's house for a week!" Elle said

"Deal!" Cybil said

Then both jumped on opposite sides of the table to begin their contest

"I think I'll just stomp along with James." Travis said looking at Ax ,and rushed onto the horde.

"I've never fought before, but I guess there's a first time for everything." Lisa said, and joined Heather in attacking the flying Swarm

"Henry what should I do?" Eileen nervously asked.

"You're riding crop is just a skinny fly-swatter, and Elle is not the only one with a Aluminum Bat. We'll help Lisa, and Heather with the flying things." Henry said

Eileen nodded, and got her Riding-Crop, while Henry got his Aluminum Bat

"No mercy people!" Alex yelled, and charged along with everyone

Thus the mass hysteria had begun, with mixed results. On one hand James, and Travis were doing a good job, but that only made Elle, and Cybil's little contest difficult, because they did not want to friendly fire anyone, also the table was quite large forcing the group to sometimes crawl underneath to hit their mark. Tina was able to take out a few of them, but had to be careful around everyone else moving around, and from time to time would be ambushed by 2 or 3. For the most part they would bump into each other, and though Eileen, Henry, Heather, and Lisa were doing alright taking out the mixed Swarm, their weapons would sometimes clash together, causing them to miss their targets. Also they had to be careful of some of the Swarm Alex faced since Henry has already been chomped on a few times, as well as Alex who for the most part wasn't even targeting them. This was not the perfect team, they did eventualy hit themselves, though for the most part it was accidental, it had still annoyed everyone. Laura for example had some difficult telling the difference between a quick moving shoe, and a crawling insect. Lisa had almost decapitated Heather when she swung the Katana, and killed two Swarm, and narrowly missing Heather's neck, well to be honest everyone carrying a knife almost sliced each other. Maria also had some of her own problems when some of the bugs guts, and slime would stain her boots which made her really disgusted, and almost stop what she was doing then, and there. In the end nothing really good came out of this, everyone felt exhausted, and were stained some up to their chest in bug juice. They took a moment to clean themselves up. In the end they had to use 4 Health Drinks, and used 1 First Aid Kit to scrub, and wipe the stains on their clothes.

"(Huff) now then (huff) everyone to the roof" Harry gasped

Everyone groaned, but went on anyways

They walked on almost in a single file

"Henry, are you sure you don't need any bandages?" Eileen said leaning towards Henry

"I-I'm fine, really it's just some bug bites." Henry said as if asking for some coffee in a store

"But those bugs were bigger than our hands." Eileen stated

It was at this point that Henry realized that Eileen had been holding his hand, what he didn't know was that she had been doing so almost after they left the bug infested room.

"Wow you guys are so close I'm almost jealous" Heather said listening in on their conversation.

"Eh? Oh um, we are, but it wasn't always like this." Eileen said smiling at the compliment

"I couldn't feel my hand, I should ask Alex if those bugs of his were poisoned." Henry though to himself

"Really why not?" Heather said interested.

"Well even before he was locked in his own apartment he would still stay in his room a lot so we didn't talk much." Eileen said concentrating on the floor for some reason.

"One time I saw a glimpse of one his photographs, and told him it looked nice, and he was so surprised by my reaction. That's actually the first time I've seen him react so strongly before." Eileen said going slightly red.

"Oh...was that when you fell in love Henry?" Heather said teasingly.

"...No though that was the first time someone other than my customers complimented my work, at the time I thought of her, as well...a klutz?" Henry admitted.

"huh?" Eileen, and Heather both said

"Yeah, at the time she was a bit scatter brained, she would drop her groceries on occasion, she panicked easily during our trip together, she was a lot to handle, I had to save her multiple times, she would sometimes get in my way while aiming my gun, she almost shot me a couple of times, and for the most part she wasn't someone I thought would be able to survive for very long." Henry said without the slightest pause.

"Um..." Heather said

"Aw...*sob*" Eileen said almost in tears.

"But..."Henry began, and Eileen looked up at him

"She made me feel important, like for the first time in my life I felt needed, that I can do more than just take pictures. In a way she saved me from my constant boredom, and gave me more reason to live, for that I overcame, any timidness, or shyness I felt kept me away from those I didn't need to know. I guess when I got closer to her during our journey, and when her life was on the line I began to fall in love with her, and that gave me the strength to push myself so that I would not lose her." Henry said grinning slightly.

This time Eileen almost instantly was back to being cheerful again, and though she was crying a little it was tears of joy, and then she completely wrapped her arms around Henry's single bug bit arm.

"Hmm. I can feel her now, maybe the feeling was temporary?" Henry thought to himself again.

"Anyways after we found a new apartment, and the first thing we did was make lov-" Henry continued

"You don't have to tell her that!" Eileen said blushing

"Oh... Don't stop keep going I want to hear how it ends...in full detail." Maria said from behind

"Y-you don't need to know!" Eileen said

"Aw, come on it's not something I haven't done before." Maria said giggling

"Well at first we made out for a while, and then Eileen began to remo-" Henry was about to start

"STOP!" Eileen shouted her face completely red, and warm to the touch

"Umm, hello were here..." Harry called out

"Yeah we've been here for quite a while now." Alex said

"You guys can finish your story some other day." Travis said

"I love stories." James randomly admitted

"Mew" Tina simply replied

"Do you usually open up like that?" Heather asked.

"Well no, but then again no one bother to ask." Henry simply said.

Once their conversation had ended everyone had now reached the roof, where Harry had pulled out the pink rubber ball.

"Okay this is how it's gonna work, over her you see they key on that hole right." Harry pointed

Everyone went towards the hole, and looked at it, and sure enough there was a key there.

"Oh! I get it, now we just need a bent needle, and a long strand of hair, and we can fish the key out." James finished explaining

"...James we don't have any of that...just a rubber ball." Elle said

"Mind if I keep it when you guys are finished with it?" Laura asked

Everyone looked at Harry for the answer while James was looking at Tina who once again jumped out of James's coat, and began sniffing at the hole.

"Well we need it to plug the hole so that the water can flow into the hole, and get the key unstuck." Harry said

"Done!" James said

"What!" Everyone said

Sure enough James held the once stuck key in his hands with a triumphant look on his face.

"How did? When did he?" Harry said flabbergasted

"Oh! Well while you were explaining Tina began playing with the key, her tiny paw was just barely able to touch the key, so she used her claws like a hook I guess, and fished it out. The hard part was taking the key away from her." James explained

Sure enough Tina was still pawing at the key while in James's coat pocket trying to take it away from James's grip."

"..." Everyone fell silent

"So can I keep it now?" Laura said

"Just take it, I don't care anymore." Harry said

He tossed the ball towards Laura who caught it easily.

"Well now that that's settled we just need to unlock the second floor classrooms, and go to the basement through there." Harry said

So everyone left the roof, and headed for the locked Classroom.

"Alright then." Cybil said

"Well at least it didn't take forever right?" Elle said

"Better than walking around aimlessly." Alex said

"Thanks a lot James." Maria said

"I thought that ball was for Tina." James said

They are now at the Library Reserve.

"You thought wrong...Again." Laura said tightening her grip on the ball making it almost oval shape.

"I hope Tina can help us with the rest of the puzzles like this." Heather said praising

"What a convenient cat." Lisa said

"Yeah, but how come this little thing didn't transform along with the dogs, and other animals?" Travis said

"Good question." Eileen said

"Everyone I think this is it." Henry said

Harry saw the door the team had almost past, and used the key. The door unlocked, and they entered the Classroom only to find it guarded by 3 Claw Fingers. This was the perfect time for Eileen, Lisa, and Maria to see what they can do.

Although Eileen only had her Riding Crop it was still effective enough to take down the low level enemies, and after a few good smacks, and a quick dodge from the Claw Finger's lunge attack she finished it off with no difficulty. Maria at first was toying with her target, moving left, and right like a Matador dodging a bull, but after a while she whacked it several times with her Steel Pipe, and stomped on it with her heel. Lisa fighting an actual enemy was nervous at first, but the sharp edge of the Katan gave her confidence, and in only two diagonal slices leaving an X mark on the Claw Finger she killed it quickly.

"Way to go girls!" James applauded

"Nice job Eileen" Henry complimented

"Good kill, good kill." Travis said

"You guys could have you own adventure here." Heather said

"It was easy, no worries at all." Harry said

"Meow." Tina said before yawning, and beginning another nap.

"No challenge." Alex said

"Looks like we won't have to worry about you girls after all." Cybil said

"Can I fight the next one." Laura said

"No way I got dibs." Elle said

With that everyone went to the second classroom only to find it empty except for a single Health Drink. After that they went down the stairs, and after Harry quickly took a quick trip to the room on the left side to retrieve some shotgun shells, and another Ampoule everyone entered the boiler room.

"Alright all that's left is to arrange the bar so that they open the hallway, and we enter the hallway to face the giant...creature...thing." Harry said

"Okay then so we just turn these two valves, and eventually if we do it right the bars will get out of the way?" Travis said

"Yup." Harry said

Alex, and Harry moved to their own side of the valve while they were told by an a small crowd how to turn it, and which one to turn it. Eventually it turned into an argument.

"We're getting nowhere fast Alex turn the valve left again!" Heather said

"No! Leave it Alex, Harry move your valve right!" Elle insisted

"I think Alex should turn it left twice, and Harry should turn it once!" Cybil argued

"Well just end up back where we came from don't you get it!" Travis responded

"Just calm down everyone!" Eileen said trying to be the voice of reason.

"Don't bother Eileen they're in their own little world now..." Henry said

"This is dumb..." Maria said getting bored with the argument

"Yeah it's getting dull." Laura agreed

"...What do you think Tina have you solved it yet?" James asked the supposedly wise cat.

Tina did not respond, but gave a cute yawn, and continued on her nap realizing that her services would not be of any use here.

Finally after what seemed like half an hour (this was how long it took me the first time!) the obstacle was cleared, and their path was now open.

"Great! Everyone try to get in at once, and get your big guns out!" Travis told everyone while pulling out his shotgun.

Harry, James, Heather, Alex, and Elle had also equipped their shotguns, and with the ammo they found were able to split the cartridges evenly so that everyone had at least ten shots to fire. Eileen held her Machine Gun ready, and Henry his Revolver with 6 bullets in it still inside. Elle decided it would be best to give Cybil a second handgun to dual-wield with her current pistol while she had her shotgun so she let her borrow her pistol for the moment, and Cybil took it with gratitude. Lisa was given a Service Pistol from Travis, and so she held the Katana in one hand, and the gun in the other. Maria suddenly wished she did not throw her old gun away, but James was kind enough to give her the Rifle, so long as she did not mind that it was half empty. Once they finished loading their ammo, and pumping their shotguns (well mostly for fun) they made quite the ass kicking team.

"Wow..." James said looking at everyone

"Yeah I know, if we stay like this the monsters will naturally leave us alone!" Travis said

Well then...Let's get this over with." Henry said twirling his Revolver left, and right.

Everyone huddled towards the small platform that will led them even lower towards the monster's den, but found out rather quickly that fitting in 12 people plus a cat in one cramp space was going to be difficult. Still they kept at it until eventually they were all in that square platform, once again huddled together like the dog pile in Henry's Apartment.

"Why isn't this thing going down yet!" Harry said trying to catch as much air as possible.

"This is not fun, not fun at all-OW!" James said while being scratched by Tina who was not comfortable with the tight squeeze.

"I'm really not into the boy/girl ratio in this group org-"Maria began

"OW! You're heel Maria!" Laura said from underneath

"Sorry! Sorry!" Maria said trying to move her foot out of the way.

"Maria! Stop touching me there! Eileen is the one next to me!" Heather said

Maria thought about telling Heather that the hand was not her's, but she still held a loaded shotgun so she decided against it.

"Hey...This is going nowhere fast." Henry said though he showed no signs of pain or anguish

"I don't know how much longer I can take!" Eileen gasped

"Why, why, why! Did we not put away or weapons!" Elle said

"You're right we could have made some extra space with these gone!" Cybil said in an awkward position behind Heather

"Maybe, but right now we can't do anything about it or else we might shoot someone!" Alex said

"Uh-oh, Everyone Eileen isn't feeling to well we should re-think this." Lisa said

"She a nurse she may have a point let's get out everyone.

They left in an almost single file while Lisa stayed behind to check on Eileen who was in the corner holding her chest, and breathing heavily. Elle had also volunteered to help Eileen up her feet, and Henry approved of this, and exited the elevator to give Eileen some air. Henry was the last to walk out of the small elevator, but as soon as he left the small hallway the bars quickly activated, and barricaded the elevator with Lisa, Eileen, and Elle still inside, While everyone else were on the opposite side shocked at what happened.

"It's a setup!" Alex yelled

"Quick the valves!" Cybil ordered

Both Travis, and Henry went towards a valve, and tried desperately to move them, but they did not move.

"It's not working!" Henry reported

"This thing won't budge!" Travis yelled

Then quickly the elevator descended, and with a final cry of help from the 3 girls, they were out of soon out of sight.

"No, NO! DAMNIT!" Alex cried out as he pushed, and pulled the bars blocking him.

"LISA! Oh god! LISA!" Travis called out, but there was no response

"!..." Henry was speechless

Henry just looked at the spot where Eileen was, and how he just left her there, even for a brief time, and now she's gone. Henry punched the valve in frustration, and quickly began bleeding on his knuckles, but the pain was the least of his concerns.

"Eileen...Walter! When I'm done with you they will never be able to find your body." Henry whispered to himself.

In the descending elevator

"This is not happening, this is not happening!" Eileen said on the verge of tears, and gripping her Machine gun

"Eileen snap out of it! We have to get through this!" Elle insisted

"Hey, hey! It's getting dark fast we need to huddle up!" Lisa urged

Soon it became pitch black, they could not even see their hands in front of them let alone each other. Then A small fire, which grew slowly stronger, until it finally lit the room. If Harry were with them he would have told them that the room had drastically changed, it was much larger, than before, there was no wall in front of them, but three large square holes; however behind them they were was just a wall, no elevator, not even something that resembled a moving platform, almost like the ride down never happened. Then heavy footsteps were heard from the right hand corner of the square hole. In it came out a large, fearsome lizard. It's had no facial features, not even eyes, but it roared once, and almost half it's body split open to reveal a large Venus Fly trap mouth, and then it shut it quickly. Then from the center hole appeared a disfigured thing that the devil may have vomited out one night, it's head was almost dragging along the floor, and it's small, but wide legs barely kept it going at a slow pace. Can you guess the monster I'm talking about...well if you guessed the name Caliban then you are correct. It sloshed it's swollen head left, and right, and stopped next to the Lizard. Just when The 3 girls were about to engage in a desperate fight, another cry was heard from the left hole, this one came at a surprising speed despite it having no legs, and just like the Lizard it had no facial features, but it's head split open to reveal large, and almost human like teeth, and it too quickly shut it's...head. The Split Worm had also decided to join the fight making this an even (if you can call it that) fight

"Pl-please tell me you girls have seen these things!" Elle said pointing her shotgun at the multiple targets.

Lisa, and Elle who had little fighting experience where holding each other in complete fear, and forgetting about their current weapons, they were both trembling, and Elle took this as a sign that they did not see any of these things before.

The Split Worm went back into the hole, but the Caliban, and the Lizard began moving towards our 3 stooges-I mean heroines, Elle shot the Caliban multiple times with her shotgun, but it didn't even slow it down, it began charging at Elle who narrowly missed it, she quickly recovered, and fired more shot into it. Meanwhile the Lizard was going after Lisa, and Eileen They woke up from their fear, and Lisa, fired the first few shots at the Lizard's skin, but it did nothing. They Lizard then opened it's jaws wide ready to swallow the 2 girls whole, but Eileen, and Lisa both jumped out of the way in time. Then when Elle was thinking she was making progress the Split Worm came out of the center hole, and slammed it's head on the ground causing it to shake, and paralyzing Elle for a 2 seconds, which was just enough for the Caliban to charge, and hit Elle head on, she was pushed back several feet, near Eileen, and Lisa who helped her up her feet, and Lisa provided Elle with a much needed Health Drink.

"Eileen come on shot the shit out them!" Elle urged

Eileen looked at her machine gun, and with a trembling hand turned off the safety. She aimed at the Caliban, while the Lizard was right behind it, and gaining, but before she could fire the Split Worm came out from behind and it too opened it's jaws ready to swallow Eileen, Elle, and Lisa. Elle saw this, and pushed the two girls, and herself out of the way, but now where in the perimeter of the Lizard, and it opened it's large mouth, and Lisa shot it twice with the service pistol, and dealt the first real damage to the Lizard. Again Elle pulled herself, Eileen, and Lisa away from the mouth, and now they meet the Caliban once again.

"NOW! Before the giant worm comes out!" Elle shouted.

The 3 girls fired their guns simultaneously at the Caliban, it took most of the hits, but once Elle switched to her rifle, the large gun dealt a massive blow to one of it's legs permanently crippling it from charging any more. Caliban however was still alive, and the Split Worm once again came out, with the Lizard closely next to it, the worm made an attempt to bite Lisa, but Eileen pushed her out of the way, and nearly getting bit herself. The large Lizard was now closing in on Elle who was reloading her shotgun, she could not finish, but was able to land a direct hit, just after it opened it's jaws causing great damage, but still not fatal. She ran towards the other who where now concentrating on the Split Worm waiting for it to come out from one of the 3 holes.

"This is insane they won't die!" Lisa said

"I-I-I'm only at half ammunition!" Eileen worriedly said

"Maybe it's just a little more, we can do this!" Elle assured

The Split Worm came out once again, and this time however it slithered close to the Caliban, and with a good headbutt, it pushed the crippled Caliban in the direction of the 3 girls. It slide was slouchy, and a trail of blood was left, but it was at good speed, good enough to surprise everyone, and with it's 3 remaining legs it flailed around aimlessly, and missing Elle, and Lisa, but hitting Eileen hard on her thigh, and pushing her several feet in the direction of the Lizard, and Eileen for the moment was unable to get up.

"Eileen! NO!" Elle shouted

Lisa angry with the Caliban for what it's done lunged her Katana straight into it's empty head, and shot at it in pure hatred, the Caliban twitched madly, but soon fell over dead. That did not change Eileen predicament however as the Lizard had just finished moving close enough to Eileen, and was opening it's jaws. Eileen was in pain, and her body felt numb, she was sure this was the end, and she closed her eyes. It was at that moment where she remembered what Henry had said earlier when they were heading for the Roof, Henry needed her just as much as she needed him, but not just needed she also wanted him, she wanted to be with him, and if she did not make a strong enough effort, like Henry did for her, then what good would she be to him. The Lizard mouth was fully opened, as well as Eileen eyes, and as quickly as she could she aimed her machine gun, and fired the remaining ammo straight itnto it's exposed throat, and with a large moan, it slowly fell down with it's mouth still open, and around Eileen, showing where she would be clamped into if she had been too late.

"WAY TO GO! EILEEN!" Elle shouted

"WOOHOO!" Lisa shouted, and followed it with a thumbs up

Eileen held her thigh which had already started to bruise, and returned the thumbs up, and tried to get up, but could only stay on her knees.

"Lisa help Eileen out I'll finish this thing off!" Elle said pointing at the holes.

Lisa nodded, and rushed towards Eileen with a First Aid Kit.

Elle held her position aiming her Rifle towards the holes, she waited, and sure enough the Split Worm came out from the hole nearest Elle position, she shot it once, and narrowly missed another huge bite, then it retreated back into it's hole. Elle realized now that alone this worm may look big, but it had the same repeated attacks, with obvious places it could come out from. Sure enough when it came out from the hole farthest from Elle, and went straight for Eileen, and Lisa, Elle did not even give time to prepare an attack, and finally killed it with another Rifle shot in the throat. The Split Worm groaned, and moaned, and finally fell down the floor with a loud Thud! Thus ending the first of what may be many boss fights to come. She returned toward the two kneeling on the floor as Lisa put the finishing touched on Eileen's new bandage, the smack ripped Eileen's skirt, but Lisa was able to stitch it up while applying the proper medication towards Eileen's wound

"Eileen! Are you alright?" Elle asked

"Yeah, I'm okay, but I can't walk all that much...I-I guess I'll be a bother now." Eileen said lowering her head.

"Don't worry, I mean look at me, my ribs are killing me, and I almost puked when that thing charged at me." Elle said.

"Speaking of which, Elle take off your shirt so I can treat that as well " Lisa ordered.

"Can't it wait?" Elle said

Lisa poked Elle stomach, and Elle quickly went to her knees in pain.

"No it can't! now come on before the siren rings!" Lisa said

"I have no idea what you're talking about, but fine." Elle said giving up.

Now it will be time to describe in full detail how Lisa, and a topless Elle are going through their very thorough healing process, with ointment, and other medicine stuff...but...we'll wait for them to finish, and continue the story one the finish!

End of Chapter

There is so much I want to say, but I'll be brief, first off thanks again for reading this, and also this was the first boss fight, and I can guarantee you that they will only get more, and more exciting, and longer maybe even a whole chapter long. For now I will like to remind everyone that the collab question thing is still active, and I take a serious, and full thought about everyone's ideas, if they weren't here it will be because I have not been able to fit it in, but I will in the chapters to come. Also I had just finished correcting the previous chapters, and I would like to apologize you guys in advance for a rather long cliffhanger, they won't be as long anymore...Promise!
