I decided to do a one-shot based on the Halloween 'Enternal Blight' event from the hollow blight ar using The Schoolgirl, so enjoy.
She woke up, not into another trial, not in a space to relax before the next trial.
She woke up in the worst situation she'd ever been.
Upon opening her eyes, Toga looked at her surroundings, it wasn't much, it seemed she's in a dark space with an orange fog outside of the broken walls she has seen during her time in the Entity's Realm. There were some items she barely notices, from a generator to a couple of tables, one had science equipment she couldn't figure out, another had handles, she couldn't see the blade from her viewpoint, but she knew it was something that can cut.
She tried to get up. She second she pushed herself up, she found her hands raised above her head, she couldn't touch the ground, she looked up to see her hands, cuffed in a short-chain.
"What the?" she spoke, her heart beat rapidly, shaking her arms, trying to free herself from her prison, but to no avail. Using her own weight and her legs.
She tried once more to free herself, but no matter how much she shakes or pulls, her arms are cuffed tight. Whoever put her in chains in the first palace doesn't want her free.
But why?
Suddenly, a figure entered the broken room, it wasn't a person she had seen in this realm, was it a new survivor? No. a survivor cannot overcome a killer without pallets or flashlights, maybe a new killer. If so, then shouldn't the Entity intervene?
From looking at the figure, Toga couldn't see his face, as it was covered by a hood of an old fashioned jacket, she notices splats of orange liquid all over the jacket, his hands were strange, as black nails covered the twitching fingers.
The man seemed insane, so it's more likely that he's a killer.
"What's going on, what the hell did you do to me" Toga demanded trying to push herself off the chains.
However, the man had no response, instead, he walked towards the table with the science equipment, and pulled out a book. He placed it on the table and start writing.
"Test Subject number two-nine-one-eight," the man spoke as he writes, his language was English, his voice sounded slightly Scottish, the Japanese girl in a school uniform barely understood some of the worlds, but not much.
"As with all other subjects, they seem rebellious, obvious given their state and rage, but no matter, once I free them, they can do whatever they want, as I record in a distance of the serum's reaction."
The figure then grabbed one of the vials off the table, as he continues to write.
"the latest compound, it's all to perfect the serum from the flowers,"
He then turns to see Toga, then back to the book, "Subject is a young Asian female, similar to Subject number two-eight-two-five, but unlike subject and most subjects, this one has no natural mutations, aside from a few."
The figure stepped forward to see the chained Toga, leaving his book on the table. She looked up to see the hooded figure, she doesn't know what's going on or what the man is going to do to her, she felt like being a victim, like she was a survivor, she hoped her roles weren't swapped, she managed to go through trials and sacrifice a fair number of survivors.
The man stared directly to her face, she moved his hand towards the lower jaw and forced her to open her mouth, "bright glowing yellow eyes, and expanded canines on the subject's teeth."
The man let go of Toga's mouth and walked back to his book.
"Upon further examination during trials, the subject uses the survivor's blood to turn into them, disguising herself into one of them, she also appears to have the obsession of blood, finding the joy of watching her victims bleed."
He grabbed the vial once more before taking a deep breath, "the latest compound will adapt to her abilities, it will make her faster, better, all to perfect my serum." He then closed the book and turn towards the girl while holding the vial.
Toga looked at the vial in the man's hand, it had an orange liquid inside and a paper on the side, the paper that reads a symbol and a number, '2918'.
The symbol appears to be an upside-down triangle with two lines inside, one that goes one point to another on the bottom part of the triangle, but stay within the triangle. The other wasn't touching the triangle, as a rectangle stayed within the middle of the triangle's space.
"What is that? What are you going to do to me," Toga asked, as she watches the man pull up a metal injector and twist it to fit within the vial, the man didn't listen towards the demands of the schoolgirl. Mainly because he couldn't understand a single word of Japanese.
"If you can understand me, then let it be known that this isn't personal," he spoke directly to Toga, but she couldn't understand him, the Entity wasn't there to translate. "you will feel pain, you will scream, you will be enraged, you will kill anything in your path, but I guess it's no different than your usual tasks."
the mysterious figure moved closer to the schoolgirl, keeping a fair distance to keep her from biting him, but close to reach his hands towards her back, all while holding the serum.
"let the test, commence," he spoke, right before he pushed his arms and stab Toga in the back with a needle injection.
The girl gasped, feeling the sting of the needle, now placed inside her. She didn't know what's inside the serum, and she's more afraid of what it can do to her. But she can't escape, she can't break free from the chains.
All she can do is watch the mysterious man, in which he grabbed his book and walked towards the generator.
"Entity, send me and her to the trial," he said towards the sky, flipping a switch to run the generator.
Once the hums of the generation were heard from Toga, she started to feel a bigger sting on her back, she could hear the squeeze and push of the needle, whatever was inside the vial, it was painful.
She let out a painful scream, as she could feel her back as though she's being burned by acid, it wasn't long till the pain went through her entire body. She tried to pull herself out of her chains, shaking and yanking the tight wrists of her prisoned chains.
And to her surprise, with one big pull, she broke free.
She fell onto the ground, dirt covering her hands, she pulled them up and looked at them, twitching as her veins glowed the bright orange. Her vision shifted as well, with orange surrounding her eyesight.
She doesn't know what she looks like, she doesn't know what happened to her, what she become after the injection, she couldn't feel the pain anymore.
All she knows, is one word in her mind, a bugworm that repeated on a loop, telling her to do one thing.
Kill.
During the trials, Felix and Dwight were working on a generator, they hoped not to press the wrong button or do the wrong action, all while looking around to see if there are any killers, they haven't seen any so far, and they know one will show up, especially when they're almost close from finishing the generator.
All the sudden, out around the blocked corner of a wooden wall, Laurie appeared. To Felix, something wasn't right about her, she was… smiling?
"Uh, Laurie?" Felix asked, feeling uneased by the grinning teeth of someone he knows wouldn't smile.
But all the sudden, she jumps towards the blonde German, revealing to be the Schoolgirl.
But something was different, more different than the previous trials.
As Laurie's appearance melted away, the wax had a mixed colour of grey and orange, when the wax melts away, it revealed the horrifying look of Toga.
while she uses her normal blade, with slight coverings of orange liquid, her clothes were ripped and covered in the orange liquid. Her red scarf was untied and her left sleeve was separate from the cardigan, it dangles on her arm revealing a lump on her arm, glowed in orange.
But what makes her horrifying was her had.
Her eyes cried out orange tears, as it dripped from her face, her fangs extended bigger than the Oni's mask, as her teeth extend down to her chin, both covered in red and orange.
She raised her blade above her head, giving a wicked and mutated cackle, while Felix looked at this killer in complete fear.
Then the blade drove down into his heart.
While the killers are loyal to the Entity and no survivor could escape from them, they all fall victim to the Blight's serum, with Himiko Toga as his victim before his transformation.
And she stays that way until the serum' effects wear off.
And there you go
With the Eternal Blight event happening, I wanted to make a short tale of what happens if Toga got Blighted, just something short while I'm having a good time playing the event.
Happy Halloween everyone!
