"Two, two, one."
"Trapped!"
"Three, Two, Four."
"Clear!"
"F-five, two, three."
"Clear!"
"One, one, one."
"Very trapped!"
"Very trapped? How can a room be very trapped?"
"Move it, will ya?"
"Come on Ed, what are the factors of 253, 559 and 526?"
"Two, two, t-two."
"Clear!"
The group steadily made their way to the bridge cube, taking a few detours to avoid trapped rooms. Edd would go into each room first, the feeling of cracking the code still wonderfully bright inside him. Nazz, also excited at their new system, gained the courage to go second. They were followed by May and Kevin, then Jimmy and Eddy. They entered a white room, where Edd said they now had to go upwards. Kevin volunteered to climb up and read the numbers in the crawlspace above. When he opened the door, he stopped.
"What is it?" Edd asked.
"Woa." Kevin looked above to see a long tunnel of rooms above. Another rumbling started to shake the area and Kevin saw something come down the tunnel. The shaking grew so violent that he fell off of the ladder and onto Eddy. The entity above nearly slammed down on top of the white room the kids were in before stopping suddenly. The ceiling door closed, making a loud click as it snapped to link with the door above. Kevin climbed up and opened the door again to find a blue room, which Ed subsequently proved to be safe.
"I guess that proves my--our theory." Edd said as he looked over at Nazz. Eddy and Kevin just rolled their eyes and proceeded to climb up to the ceiling. This time, May volunteered to go first, followed by Jimmy, Nazz, Ed, and Kevin. Eddy started to climb up when the door suddenly closed as he stuck his head in the room above. His neck was pinned between the door and the edge of the crawlspace, and the other kids looked in shock to see Jimmy holding the door handle.
"I can't take it anymore! You don't deserve to live after killing Sarah!" he shouted as he held Eddy in the makeshift vice. Eddy couldn't talk with the slab of metal pinning his throat to the ceiling, but he managed to sound out the word "basterd" between struggled breaths.
"What in Sam Hill is going on up there?!?" Edd asked as he inspected the partially closed door on the ceiling.
"Jimmy's gone crazy!" Kevin shouted as he and May tried to rip the boy away from the door. Jimmy violently kicked at the screw holding the handle on and it broke off. Before Kevin and May could restrain his left arm he reached down and jerked the handle off of the door. He quickly jabbed at Kevin's hand and May let go out of shock. Kevin fell over, clutching his bleeding wrist and swearing while Jimmy threatened May and Nazz into a corner.
"Now you are all going to stay away as I kill this murderer or else you're going down with him!" he shouted. He opened the door and violently pulled Eddy out of the crawlspace. Out of fear, Eddy quickly avoided Jimmy's attack and ran to a nearby door, where he went into the orange room beyond with Jimmy in close pursuit. He jumped from the crawlspace to tackle Eddy onto the floor. They wrestled around, trying to get on top of the other until a sharp pain struck Eddy's side. They scrambled up to see a multitude of small mechanical arms protruding from various points in the room around them. They ended in two long, flat prongs facing each other and pointed at the two boys. Between the prongs on one arm was a thin strip of metal. The edges were curved like crescents which ended in a sharp point. The blade started spinning around very rapidly between the two prongs. The two jumped out of the way just as the blade shot from the arm and was caught by another, where the process began again. After two more dodges, Jimmy took his door handle and held it in front of him, facing the prong currently holding the razor. The blade shot at him but bounced off of the door handle where it clanked to the floor. The mechanical arms, sensing no more ammo, retracted back into the walls of the room. Jimmy took this opportunity to lunge at Eddy. Eddy rolled away and picked up the blade by its rounded part in the middle, wielding it like a knife. May, Nazz and Kevin entered the room just as the two started to clash their makeshift weapons together.
"Gah!" Edd shouted as he fell from the top of the white room below. His nervousness caused his hands to become very sweaty, making it hard to grip onto the thin ladder rungs on the ceiling. "What on Earth could be going on up there?"
"Stop this, right now!" Nazz shouted as Eddy and Jimmy continued to fight. Eddy was stronger but Jimmy was nimble and dodged his amateurishly-executed attacks. He took his handle and swung it hard at Eddy, who backed up and held up his blade to take the punishment. The handle knocked it right out of the boy's hands and into May's neck, much to the horror of Nazz and Kevin. Blood spurted out as the girl tried to breathe without success and she fell to the floor face-first, jamming the knife all the way through until it poked out of the back of her neck. Jimmy and Eddy paused their brawl out of shock, which was interrupted by a sudden rumbling sound. The blue room slowly started to move upwards, and Kevin quickly wasted no time in getting into it. Nazz started to jump in after him, but the crawlspaces were halfway apart as she stuck her torso into the room. Her lower body got caught between the halves of the crawlspaces, and an ear-splitting scream came from the girl as she started getting ripped in half. This startled Edd, who was just about to get up through the floor and he slipped back down through the crawlspace, clutching on to one of the rungs as the room started to pick up speed and rise higher in the tunnel. Nazz's screaming stopped as the bottom of her lungs were torn off and half of her fell into the room, her blood forming a puddle on the blue floor.
"Nazz!"
"Assistance please!" Edd shouted as the room rose ever higher. Kevin quickly bent down into the crawlspace to help him but he was too late. Edd's hand slipped and the boy fell twenty-something feet onto the top of the room below, hitting his head hard against the metal surface.
And his chip detached.
