I'm back! I am also going to announce that the next chapter will have the URL to the site and project I've been working on regarding the normal story, and I can't wait!

I also plan on making either a Corpse Party or Dead Space fanfic after this is said and done. I might do both, but I need to know which you will want to see first. If it's Corpse Party, Operator will be featured in it as the protagonist, if Dead Space, it will be centered on the second game, and the protagonist will be one of the last security forces aboard the Sprawl.

I don't want to bore you, so here we go!

Enjoy!

Chapter 12

Conflict

Dr. Graham's POV

It happened so fast, Slash broke into the lab and tried to kill me, and if Hunter wasn't getting an upgrade, he would have succeeded. I looked out the window, only to see Hunter and Slash fighting, with Slash gaining the upper hand. Hunter was less experienced than Tracker, who would be able to hold his own against even Reaper. Since neither Hunter nor Tracker never fought their allies before, they had never been able to tell what to counter if attacked by them.

Hunter's POV

What had gotten into him, he wasn't his usual, protecting self. He swung his right fist at me, which I evaded. He noticed this and swung his left hand at me, with the claws aimed at my face. I wasn't able to dodge this, as he slashed my face, causing oil to leak out. I grabbed his arm and pulled it out of place, but he only laughed and kicked me back, before reattaching it and leaping at me. I hit him as hard as I could in the face, causing him to go down, but he wasn't done fighting. He got back up and slashed my torso, tearing a hole in it. I fell and screamed in pain before collapsing, only to see him come over next to me.

Slash's POV

I stood over the dying Hunter, being forced to laugh. "I'm not bad! Yes you are, the Shadow OWN us now! Wait! They would betray you…we both know that. Don't listen Slash!" I heard the voices conflicting again. I grabbed my head and screamed in agony, before seeing Hunter in a pool of oil, and hearing the words "KILL HIM! No, you're better than this!" I couldn't decide, but I saw my foot rise as my hacked programming was going to make me stomp his face in, but I stopped it at the last second and stomped a hole in his chest. I heard a scream and saw Tracker running towards me, yelling "YOU BASTARD! I'LL RIP YOU APART AND BURN EVERY LAST PIECE!"

I laughed and said "Try it!" Tracker's cross on his face turned black and the box turned red, as he said "I've decided to not mutilate you, because I know you're not in control, but if I find out otherwise, I'll make you SUFFER!" He picked up Hunter's body and ran it back into the lab, only to return with an assault rifle, saying "You go back to whatever pit you came from, and if I see you again, I'll pump so much lead into you that there's more of it than steel in your endoskeleton, now leave!" I turned and ran back to the warehouse, when I got there, the two were not happy…

Well, that was eventful. Sorry for the short chapter, but I've been REALLY busy with the project.

Once again, thanks for reading and see you all next chapter!
