I thinking of considering other crossovers I may do for Detentionaire. Has anyone played or heard of Jak and Daxter? I think that might be a crossover for me to consider. Oh, and for those thinking The Serpent got me, well he struck me. I was about to catch my first fish, which was a Bow-Fin, but my line broke and my hook was also gone. Bastard must've known that I was going to use that fish against him :0
And Bow-Fin are BIG fish.
Oh, and I don't think I've mentioned Miles Upshur's descriptions (ie Height, eye colour). Then again, he is the unseen protagonist of Outlast, no one really knows what he really looks like, that was just a fanart I used. :P
I should probably make a description and back story when I have some time.
Lee's POV
It's been a couple of hours already, and man where the heck was Cam and Miles?! Holger then pointed up, with Miles going up top to these metal support platforms. I decided this was the first thing I was going to record with the camcorder I got from my brother's office. Cam was helped up, then they began the distraction. Cam got the attention of all the hazmats, then said the rock he got was a bomb, and he'll blow the place sky-high if they don't hand them over. Miles was waving his camcorder in the air, probably to torment them, and I think he was filming this.
"Wait. Gold?" Biffy questioned.
"I think it's from a Brick McSlam movie." I said.
Holger quoted the movie: "No one be getting gold for free, except man with rock bomb!" What are they going to think of next? The distraction worked, with his wicked robot dance moves and such. Cam is so good! Me, Holg, and Biff, got into a crate.
Cam's POV
Well, my boy Lee is well on his way now! Me and Miles are so awesome! I just had to high five him.
"Let's go!" Miles said.
My phone was ringing, it was Brandy. I sort of made it slip out of my hands, and it fell. Oh well…We jumped down, and my hombre Journalist was still filming everything! I get to be in a movie! Epic running sequence from hazmats!
"Let's hope it's…STILL HERE!"
We left a box to make the elevator door stay open. I squeezed first, then Miles did. One of 'em were grabbing a hold of Miles right arm, and was trying to take the camera! But he was fine, he managed to shake him off before I had to do anything!
"Best of luck Ping…" Miles said.
It was a close call before the hazmats could reach us, with the elevator door closing.
"Yo can I see that?" I asked while Miles was putting the camera away.
"Alright, I guess it wouldn't hurt to watch ourselves over and over again." Miles chuckled.
We got back up to the former-evil lair, and watched ourselves running from the hazmats. Miles even showed me some footage of the big homey, Chris Walker. And holy FRITANGA! He was big and scary, but I was glad the dude turned out to be on our side. He even showed me this doctor dude, Trager. And that Trager dude…he was cool, but creepy. He actually filmed someone die, our old principal, Wurst. But, Trager said something about him being a clone. I KNEW IT!
"Funs over, let's go!"
"Where?" I asked.
"My car's just outside. We'll go back to my house, and we'll um…"
"Ok cool, but we've gotta get back to A. Nigma! Brandy!" I reminded.
"We'll just get something quick to eat, alright?"
"Cool homeseys…" I said.
We made our way out of the casino, and there was his Jeep. It's was so perty and nice! The front seat was pretty good, but not good if we had to fit everyone in for an el grande escape. It was only a two seated Jeep, the back was just…well, the back component to throw our bags in.
"Buckle up." Miles said.
Miles started the car, then he handed me his camcorder.
"Hold onto that, ok ese?"
Miles actually blinked, and I just smiled when I put my seat belt on.
"You got it bro!" I said.
He actually sped up the car, and it wasn't like Lee's mom's car ride, but it was still something! The hombre's Press Pass on the front rear-view mirror was dangling like crazy.
Later…
We got to Miles house, it wasn't too bad. It looked small on the outside, but it was actually quite roomy in there.
"So, you like Peanut Butter?" Miles asked.
"You know it bro!" I responded.
We just made some peanut butter sandwiches, and sat down on his couch in his living room. It was a little basic, a small flat screen TV on top of a cabinet, and a coffee table in the center of the room. I just placed the camera down on it. There were awards around the walls to. Some being from his University times. Like best writer, and such. All these fancy Freelance Journalist of the year awards.
"Yeah, I love my job. Can't imagine what I'd do if I'm not a journalist." Miles said taking a bite of his sandwich.
"I'd feel the same bro, I'm not sure how I'd feel if me and Lee weren't together, in these mucho dark times! And we were almost taken down by the hombre Lynch, who was RadCircles!"
Miles gave me a nod, then we finished up the sandwiches.
"So um…how does it feel not being with Victoria? And being part of your old school and having to deal with... Must be harsh, and I'm sorry bro…"
Miles let out a sigh, and choked for a little bit, but was able to speak normally, and boldly.
"Well, no matter how hard you try, you can't escape your past. And no matter what, you keep fighting for the things you care about! So that we can make things right!"
"Yeah! Let's go get Brandy!" I shouted.
Miles gave me a smile, then he got the camcorder and we went back outside to get into his car to go back to A. Nigma. Brandy! We're coming chicka!
Un-K, so the car ride did take some time, but we made it. Back to A. Nigma High.
Miles' POV
We walked straight into the front gate, risking it for a girl. But that was OK! Everyone I've met, Lee, Tina, Jenny, Biffy, Holger, and Cam, they all had the pride to not give up on this! To keep going! And that's great! Cam led me to a classroom, with Lee's mom, Sue, sitting there, chumping on a green apple, and ham sandwich, in a rather savage way, which I had the urge to raise my camera to film. Maybe she really is a clone, I didn't really know. Lee didn't tell me. He threw a crumpled piece of paper in the classroom and waved his hand to someone, and I looked inside to see the girl who was apparently, Brandy. She was wearing a pink skirt and shirt, glasses, heels. She was looking at me with confusion, and looking at Cam with slight rage. I turned off recording, and kept my camera in my hands.
"Ok, like where have you been?!"
She started to push Cam in between a space of sections of lockers.
"And why are you being all hidey sneaky and not returning my texts?!"
"Listen Chicka, broke my phone. Crazy things are crazy a-foot! Robot power suits, awesome battles, and escaping from a casino, and…"
He waved his hand to me.
"Been everywhere with this journalist. Meet Miles Upshur! Don't worry, he's cool! And he's got a mucho good camera! But, it may be worth a lot, because the enemy wants it so bad for all the footage he's been getting."
"Yes, I've been everywhere with this fellow, he's a good man. Risking everything to come back for you. And I'm risking it with all the evidence I have against Mann Wurst Finnwich on this camera. They'll be hunting for us."
She looked at me, trying to believe me.
"Please tell me it's not a Lee Ping Spy thing." Brandy said.
"Um, sure. But this is-"
I was cut off with the clanging of someone walking, which was Barrage. I tried a locker, and it seemed to be empty. I shoved myself inside. It wasn't all too bad, I could still lift my arm to film, which I pressed Record again. I was listening to what the steel militant had to say.
"Mr. Martinez and Mr. Upshur came through the gate, and you didn't detain them?! This is code red, LOCK ALL EXITS! That short legged perpetrator and that goody two shoes reporter is in the school, I want them FOUND! Pronto style! And you two, no slabber hocky on school grounds!"
I noticed Barrage walk by, and he didn't know that I was right there. I exited the locker, put away my camera, then caught a second of Brandy kissing Cam. Clever move, at least it worked, but Cam was just smiling.
"Hello?" I said snapping my finger.
"HA! Fooled him! So, we have to get you guys out of here, but the exits are blocked! What would Lee Ping do?"
Brandy climbed on top of Cam's hands, and lifted off a vent covering.
"THE VENTS! Cam! Cam, you okay?"
"That was my like, first time ever…" Cam said.
"Really? AAAAAAAND?" Brandy asked.
"And, I sort of swallowed your spit, but that's a good thing! Things got real!" Cam said.
"Um, not to interrupt the memory making session here, BUT…"
"Hmph, he's right, we gotta go! And sorry for getting spit into your mouth, we'll never do it again." Brandy said climbing into the vent.
Cam climbed into the vent, and what I heard from him was that he never said he never wanted to do it again, and to wait up. Man…teenagers…I remember the first time with- CAN I STOP THINKING ABOUT HER?! Oh well, there are no accidents. I reached up and climbed into the vent, trailing behind Cam.
Meanwhile…
Lee and his friends were in the crate, still waiting to get to Coral Grove. There was something occurring that was becoming an inconvenience for them, which was that Holger was letting out gas because he was nervous. They were feeling feeling a slight rumble from the submarine. Unknown to them, they were within the vicinity of Coral Grove, passing through an underwater tornado. As they were being ready to be docked, Tina and Jenny were still being interrogated by the Wurst clones. They kept on asking about the cipher for the book, they couldn't really get much about Miles Upshur, due to Tina and Jenny lacking some of his personal info, like his address.
"NO!"
The lie detector still wasn't fooled from the lies, but it did insist that they didn't know where Miles Upshur lived. And also they were questioned about Miles' and Veronica's secret meeting.
"Wait, what?" Came from both Tina and Jenny, surprised.
Wurst told them to forget about it, it was irrelevant. Then they asked the secret locker location, which they denied, and once again the machine blinked red.
"What's the number of the secret locker?" The clones questioned.
Jenny was confident for a second, because she could only respond yes or no, but Wurst had another idea, and that was to ask them if the locker number was on the piece of paper he was showing them. They still said no, which the machine flickered red. Then he ripped the page in half and asked them if it was the side of the locker number.
"Uh…NO?"
The light flickered red from Tina and Jenny's attempt to lie.
Miles' POV
I was up front, using my camcorder to navigate the darkness, I probably didn't need it too much, but just in case. All I could hear from behind was Cam asking Brandy about the kiss, and if it was real. We noticed this vent opening, with a classroom in it. I was noticing students were trying to push rocks together, but they kept repulsing. I pointed my camcorder down there.
"What's happening?" Brandy asked.
I let her look in the viewing frame, only because I was right in front of the vent cover, blocking the way, making it impossible for her to see herself. A rock came flying to the vent covering, and shocked Brandy. I wrote some notes.
The only thing I can think of right now is that the pyramid is being rebuilt, and these are the basic building blocks. One brick at a time. But these bricks seem don't seem to just connect based off look, there's probably something more, like a code. And the teachers seem to be really anxious to see some positive results. What kind of line of bullshit was fed to them? What was promised to these cloned people? Wealth? Supernatural abilities? Immortality?
Whatever it is, this pyramid cannot be allowed to be rebuilt. In some cases, what goes up, must come down, well, the pyramid is an exception. It must stay down.
"So, this whole brick thing is connected to the whole conspiracy too?" Brandy asked.
"Yeah…We got a lot of catching up Brandy. So, I guess we could go back outside, and I could drive you guys back to my home." I said
"I got this one actually!"
Cam held a skeleton key. I remember that key, which was to open the pyramid.
"We get to the library and use the tunnels to get to Brandy's apartment!" Cam said.
"Well, I think it's worth a shot to get to the apartment downtown, under the shadows. However, we still need to-"
I then noticed a vent opeing with Mr. Wurst, carrying a wheel barrel of rocks. I swear I saw him get killed by Trager, but he mentioned that he was a clone. So that must be it! I think I caught up! I pointed the camera to him, and his phone rang.
"Finnwich's cipher you found it? Jumping jam cakes! Now we'll be able to decode the stupid bricks! Locker 1233? ON IT!"
I wrote down some notes.
How could have I been so blind? These Mr. Wursts ARE clones. I didn't see it soon enough, but, that pyramid cannot be rebuilt! We have to get to that locker!
"Alright listen, we can't let them get that cipher!" I said.
"I'm sorry, but what's a cipher?" Brandy asked.
"Alright, we need your help chicka!" Cam said.
"Alright! Let's go!" I said.
I continued down the vents.
"And we're so getting to the bottom of this kiss thing!"
Cam's still rambling? Oh well, it is an experience.
Meanwhile…
Lee, Holger, and Biffy were in the crate, and it was being lifted by one of the grim-reaper hazmats outside.
"Am I dead yet? Please say yes!"
Biffy was still complaining about Holger's gas issue, and Lee told them to be quiet. He used his camcorder to look through a crack in the crate, and noticed Cassandra talking to someone on a monitor, which was Mr. Wurst.
"Status report."
"Ah nice to have you back! The prisoners have been placed in P1!"
"Have they told you anything?"
"Uh…no. Not yet. Well, nothing important."
"I want answers! Intensify the interrogation! Push them harder!"
Meanwhile…
Miles, Cam, and Brandy had dropped down from the vents to where locker 1233 was supposed to be. Cam was trying to open it, but he didn't know the combo. Brandy tried to strike it with her purse, but that drew attention to Mr. Wurst, guided by two hazmats.
"Well hello Mr. Martinez! Hello Mr. Upshur! We've been looking everywhere for you!"
The hazmats grabbed Cam. Brandy and Miles demanded for him to be put down, but the hazmats were not going to listen. Mr. Wurst used a pair of clampers to break the lock, and there was the cipher.
"That's a cipher? Looks kind of lame." Brandy said.
"Anything we might want from you?" Wurst asked Cam.
"Uh…NOPE."
The hazmats shook Cam upside down, some things like empty green apple splat cans, and crumpled pieces of papers, then the key fell out.
"The second key? You had it."
Mr. Wurst turned to Miles Upshur.
"Do you have something we may want as well?"
Miles said nothing, then the hazmats grabbed Miles camcorder from his holster.
"Oh, so is it. But, it can't be without it's uses for us."
He led Miles, Cam, and Brandy to the cafeteria. Miles was surprised that the Wurst clones were indeed real, and trying to stick together the rocks, which was getting nowhere.
"You can't just match any two! You need to use this!"
Wurst used the cipher, and pointed out to two rocks which were glowing 87 and 88. The other clone put them together, then the clones started to argue who actually figured it out, with the cipher and the second key, AND the camera that our dear leader wants so bad."
"Ok, well now that you've got everything you want, I'm going home!" Miles said.
"Oh, you'll be on the next submarine ride to you-know where! And all the footage we have, this will be a constant reminder of who rules! And that's us! Thank you for recording these conspiracies. But for now, you three will be put to work, rebuilding the pyramid!"
"Sorry, I don't do pyramids! I don't have to clean my own room!" Brandy said.
"Too bad!"
Then one of the Wurst clones said to round everyone up and that they're going underground. The three were taken to this elevator structure that was to go down to the pyramid.
Coral Grove…
Lee, Biffy, and Holger were stuck in an elevator shaft, and trying to get the prison floor to open by knocking on it. It worked, barely missing a descending elevator but they were greeted by a blue-grim reaper hazmat.
"You're wanted down below!" Biffy said.
He threw the hazmat down in the elevator shaft, but it wasn't letting go. Holger and Lee helped trying to bring Biffy back up. Holger pressed the elevator to come back down.
"Why'd you press that?" Lee freaked.
"Oops, sorry!"
Biffy was lifted up just in time, and they got the hazmats arm.
"Tell me this ain't gonna come in handy!" Biffy said.
They went into this office like place, with a receptionist desk and Lee had his camera up. There was list of prisoners projected on a screen. Tina, Jenny, VP Victoria, Mr. Pummel, Ms. Lob, and Jenny's aunt.
"Wow, the gangs all here, but we're here for two people and they're in cell block D." Lee said.
Holger looked behind the desk, and found a file.
"Maybe we be knowing more first?" Holger said.
"Fine, let's see what's in this file." Lee said taking a look.
There were two e-mail messages, Lee put away his camera and read one.

This is almost the third time I've asked for reassignment. I do not want to work in Coral Grove anymore. The high amount of disrespect I've seen for these test subjects and scientists alike of your Project Brainwash is way beyond sane. The processes we're going through, the torture, and now I'm being heard that my own niece, Jenny, is being tested on. HOW COULD YOU?!
If I get a negative response, or no response at all to this E-mail, I'll be forced to resign and I'll be forced to contact the Press. Thank you for your time.
-Anna Jenkins
"Ok…" Lee said.
He turned to the next one, and Biffy meanwhile, used the arm to lift the forcefield, and they ran down the hallway.

Hey Mikey! Had fun at the drive earlier this week, we should really do it more often. Now, what I really wanted to talk about was, my reassignment to this place, Coral Grove. I'm getting a really itchy feeling about the things we're trying to do, with all this brainwashing and what-not. I'm not part of you little group with all your friends in MWF. I'm just a doctor, I want to help people, not tear them down with this lack of free-will thing we're working on. I hope the things we're doing here aren't a threat to mankind, but I ain't got a choice. But other than that, I learn a lot of new things here. I hope that our friendship continues, you guys are good batch, maybe that Wendell fellow could take a chiil-pill, or two. And did you receive my other e-mail? Its notes for your companions. These are some formulas I've come up with so that the completion of this Brainwashing project can be achieved. So, send those to them, and I'll continue backing you guys up, however I can. I've seen what happens to those who don't satisfy the big mamma.
THANKS BUDDY!
-Richard Trager
By the time Lee was done reading, he'd passed VP Victoria's cell, and went to Jenny's cell to open the forcefield. He gave Holger. She hugged everyone, being glad to see them, and they went over to Tina's cell, which was on the right, he opened it, and Tina hugged her, then she noticed everyone else.
"Alright great to see you all but we gotta-"
Jenny was cut off by an electronic voice.
"Security breach on Prison level one, activating emergency lockdown."
The forcefield reactivated, then a steel door closed behind it.
