Chapter#4: Strange people and Silent Screams

Voice: "No! Get.Get away from ME!"

Reina: "That sounded like."

Yugi: "Mandy! Come on!"

Reina and Yugi's hearts pounded hard in their chest with worry as they ran out of the room clutching their guns tightly. They heard the scream again and it was coming from the room next to the weapon's room. They ran in and saw Mandy backed into a corner with a creature in front of her. Reina took aim and fired with the gun, killing the creature and Mandy ran to them and hugged Reina.

Mandy: "Oh Reina.I'm so glad to see you.it was dark and I was all alone.what happened? Where's everyone else? And what was that thing?"

Reina: "Calm down Mandy.*pushes Mandy away* we're here now, it's okay. We were knocked unconscious and brought too the research base my father went too by Kiaba. I don't know where everyone else is; I only found Yugi and now you. That thing was one of the creations they made here"

Mandy: "Made?"

Reina: "Yeah.scientists made that thing.and there's a lot more all over this research place. That's why you got to be careful"

Mandy: "I hit it.at least twice with that chair but it didn't die! It didn't even flinch!"

Reina: "Here.*gives Mandy a gun from her backpack and a box of ammo* take this. You can kill the creatures with this"

Mandy: "*Takes gun and ammo, loads up gun, puts ammo into her pocket and holds onto gun* I think I'll keep the gun in my hand.just in case"

Yugi: "I don't mean to trouble you guys but.look at this creature"

Reina: "*Crouches down beside Yugi* what about it?"

Yugi: "Doesn't it look.well.familiar?"

Reina: "*Stars at creature*.yeah it does! But where have I seen it before?"

Yugi: "It's a duel monster."

Mandy: "What?! No way! It can't be! Can it?"

Reina: "That explains why Pegasus is the leader of this operation and Kiaba is involved as well! I can't believe Pegasus was bringing duel monsters to this world.recreating them.and locking them up!"

Yugi: "There must be almost every kind of small duel monster created here! This one is.Spear Cretin! I can tell by the spear it's holding."

Mandy: "Why would Pegasus want to bring duel monsters and there destructive power back?"

Yugi: "I don't know."

Reina: "*Stands up* but I'm guessing we'll find out soon."

Yugi: "*Stands up beside Reina* probably."

Reina: "Hey look! That computer is working! *Walks over to a desk with a computer that's on and sits in the chair at the desk*"

Mandy: "*Walks up too Reina and looks over her shoulder so she can see the computer screen* yeah.someone turned this computer on when I was passed out.I woke up and the bindings I guess I was originally in were off!"

Yugi: "*Walks up beside Mandy so he could see the computer screen too* did you see the person?"

Mandy: "No.he was long gone when I woke up."

Reina: "*Starts typing* I think I can get a map of this place and print it out with the printer right here.give me a second."

Yugi: "Okay.hey Mandy where's your bracelet?"

Mandy: "Right here Yugi.*Holds up arm to reveal her bracelet*"

Yugi: "Make it glow so you can see in the dark better.like ours is doing"

Mandy: "Okay.*her bracelet starts to glow*"

Reina: "There! *Clicks mouse button and sheets begin to pop out of the printer* There are three floors.thus three maps *grabs the three pieces of paper that popped out of printer examines each closely* here we are.We have to exit this room, go left down the hall, turn the corner, walk a few steps until we see the stairs to go up and go up the stairs"

Yugi: "Wait a minute Reina.shouldn't we check the rest of the rooms? You know, just in case our friends are still on this floor"

Reina: "Good idea.then we'll exit this room, go left all the way down, turn the corner and enter the first room on the left first *Puts maps in her belt, in a small compartment made for holding lighters, etc.*"

Mandy: "Okay"

Reina: "*Gets up and turns off the computer* let's go"

Reina, Mandy and Yugi exited the room and turned left. They got to the corner when they heard a silent mumbling sound. They stopped and glanced around, and then they heard a voice,

Voice: ".they're after me.*crying sound* why are they AFTER ME? What did I do? Oh lord what have I done? *Loud sobbing noises*"

Reina: "What was that?"

Yugi: "It doesn't sound like any of our friends.who is it?"

Mandy: "Shhh! Quiet!"

Voice: "No! NO, NO, NO!! You wont get me! Not on your life, no! This wasn't supposed to happen! *The gang hears footsteps going up the stairs*"

Reina: "It sounds like the person went up the stairs."

Yugi: "It sounded like a girl but.not Alyssa"

Mandy: "Okay I'm freaked out now.who was that? And what was she complaining about?"

Reina: "I don't know.we'll follow her after we clear this floor.come on"

Nodding, the gang continued down the hall and into the first door on the left. They walked in and noticed a table like what they were on in the center of the room.

Reina: "Nobody's here."

Yugi: "Maybe they escaped?"

Mandy: "Probably. Look! The bindings on the table have been cut.someone was here."

Reina: "They're not anymore.come on let's go"

Without delay the gang left the room and they searched two more rooms and they were like the ones Reina woke up in only there was no one inside. Reina, Yugi and Mandy sighed loudly and walked into the last room they haven't yet checked on that floor. As soon as they went in, they saw another duel monster eating a dead body. Yugi shot it twice and killed it.

Mandy: "Ew gross! It stinks in here.this guy has been dead for a really long time."

Reina: "Look above him.a first aid kit *Reaches above the dead body and grabs first aid kit. Then puts it into her backpack* Come on let's get back to John! We still may be able to save him!"

The gang nodded there heads and proceeded out the door and down the hall towards the room John was in. They entered the room and Reina ran up to John who was lying on the table.

Reina: "John.I found a first aid kit.I'll patch you up and we'll get out of here.together! John? *Checks pulse and begins to cry*"

Mandy: "What's wrong Reina? Doesn't John want to live? Reina?"

Yugi: "He's.dead."

Mandy: "What?! Oh Reina."

Reina: "We were too late.oh John you didn't deserve this.you were just a security officer trying to do his job, trying to make money, trying to make a living! *Stands up and dries tears* I won't let Pegasus get away with this!"

Yugi: "We all won't! Come on Reina.let's go upstairs."

Reina: "Yeah."

Reina still felt upset over John's death but she wasn't going to let Pegasus get away with creating these creatures and having them kill people. The walked all the way down the circular walk way and the gang noticed a person walking up the stairs.

Mandy: "That could be Alyssa, Blade or Hunter! HEY! WAIT UP!"

The person stopped and looked at them but they still couldn't see his/her face. Mandy waved and the person ran up the stairs as fast as they could.

Yugi: "I guess it wasn't our friend."

Mandy: "What spooked him/her?"

Reina: "Maybe it was the person we saw earlier."

Yugi: "Maybe but why would they come back downstairs if they were crying about being down here?"

Mandy: "I don't know and who ever it is.they sure are rude! They didn't even say hi!"

Reina: "They could've been frightened of us."

Voice: "Your never going to get out of here!"

Mandy: "WHA!!!! *Jumps at the sound of the voice behind them*"

The gang turned around only to find a little girl with green hair looking at them.

Reina: "Who are you? This is no place for a little girl! What are you doing here?"

Girl: "You ask too many questions.*Smiles* did I scare you?"

Mandy: "No.no way! I wasn't scared!"

Girl: "You were too! You jumped!"

Mandy: "I was not!"

Girl: "Were too!"

Mandy: "Was not!"

Yugi: "*Whispers to Reina* I guess Mandy has the maturity of a little girl"

Reina: "Come on Mandy knock it off!"

Mandy: "Humph."

Girl: "My name is Elaine. What are YOU doing here?"

Reina: "We were captured by Kiaba and brought here.does your mommy or daddy work here?"

Elaine: "You could say that.my mommy and daddy died in a research accident here a month ago"

Yugi: "I'm sorry."

Elaine: "You should be! You guys had no right asking me that question! *Sobs* you guys are nothing but meanies! You're never going to get out of here, NEVER! I hope you all die!!"

With that Elaine ran by them and up the stairs to the basement floor 1.

Reina: "What was all that about?"

Mandy: "She's nothing but a brat! Let's leave her"

Yugi: "Still.why would a child whose parents died here last month still be around? And as for that, why would she come here anyways?"

Reina: "I don't know.maybe she's lost or got captured.like us"

Mandy: "She could be a little nicer then!"

Reina: "Maybe she was scared"

Yugi: "Maybe.come on let's go upstairs too!"

Mandy: "Yeah I'm tired of running into strange people and things on this floor! *Shivers* as long as there's no spiders"

Reina: "Oh Mandy.*giggles*"

With that, Reina and Yugi laughed at Mandy and they all walked upstairs to the next level. When they reached the top, they noticed that they were arriving in a long hallway. If they looked left it was a door and a dead end and if they looked right they could see red beams going all over the hallway like security motion detectors.

Mandy: "What are those beams?"

Elaine: "Security motion detectors you idiot!"

The gang jumped to see Elaine appear to the left of them out of nowhere.

Reina: "Where'd you come from?"

Elaine: "The door behind me.you're not like the others.you're special and I like you so I'll tell you about these beams. These beams activate if there are those weird creatures walking around. If anything organic tries to pass through it, they'll get chopped up into little bits like the creature right there *Points to a cut up dead duel monster under the beams* be careful.mommy"

And with that, Elaine ran into the door behind her and locked it so the gang couldn't follow her.

Mandy: "Why did she call you mommy Reina?"

Reina: "I don't know.maybe she was confused"

Mandy: "Maybe.or maybe she's just crazy"

Yugi: "Aren't we forgetting the beam problem? How do we get to the other side with these beams here"

Reina: "Look! *Points to a box on the other side of the beams* If one of us could get to that box, they could shut off the beams"

Mandy: "No way am I trying to get through that! I'd be chopped up for sure! I'm not acrobatic at all"

Yugi: "I'm small but Mandy's got a point.I'm not acrobatic either"

Reina: "I'll go then.we did a training like this back home. It'll be a piece of cake"

Mandy: "You sure Reina?"

Reina: "Yep"

Reina nodded and began weaving herself in between the beams slowly and cautiously. She didn't want to hit any one of the beams or she'd be dead so she moved at a slow pace, making sure she didn't touch any of the beams. Finally, after about twenty minutes, Reina got to the other side and looked down the hallway. She could see a woman running into a room to the left and thought to herself, "I'll follow her after I shut off these beams. It could've been Alyssa!" and lifted off the cover to the box on the wall. There were ten buttons labeled 1-9 and an enter button. It was a four-digit code. Reina pondered for a bit then remembered the uncial letters to this base, B. D. R. F. The "Biohazard Domino Research Facility". She also noticed under each number was a letter, 1 had A, 2 had B, 3 had C, 4 had D, 5 had E, 6 had F, 7 had P, 8 and Q and 9 had R. She typed in 3, 5, 9, 6 which stud for the uncials of the Research base she was in. She then clicked Enter and the beams shut off and Yugi and Mandy cautiously approached Reina.

Yugi: "How'd you figure out the code?"

Reina: "Long story come on"

Mandy: "Wait, where are me going?"

Reina: "A saw a girl walk into that room *Points to the door a little ways down on the left* I think it might be Alyssa"

Yugi: "Well then let's go!"

Reina nodded and the gang walked down the hallway to the door on the left and before they could open it, a duel monster approached behind them from the stairs. Mandy turned around and shot it, killing it but then she shrieked when she saw it was a spider duel monster. Yugi and Reina shook their heads and the three of them walked into the room.

Reina: "Another Medical room *Sighs* it looks like no one is in here."

Yugi: "Wait! There's a door straight ahead! Maybe she went in there!"

Mandy: "Hold on you guys.there's a lighter on this desk. Should I take it?"

Reina: "Yeah go ahead Mandy. We may need it later"

Mandy: "K *Picks up silver lighter*"

The gang walked through the next door and came into a large room that was completely empty! Reina sighed again when she noticed the door on the other side open up. Mandy, Yugi and Reina readied their guns in case it was another duel monster. Instead, Alyssa, Blade and Hunter walked into the room and Yugi, Mandy and Reina put away their guns and smiled happily. Alyssa, Blade, Hunter, Yugi, Mandy and Reina ran to each other but before they could touch each other (and Reina jump into Hunter's arms) they were surprised as the floor underneath them collapsed. They all fell in and it became dark, they were knocked out. Elaine came from out of the room Hunter, Blade and Alyssa came from and approached the hole in the middle of the floor.

Elaine: "You shouldn't have followed me in here mommy.now you'll have to face this bases ultimate monster. I'm sorry mommy."
