Chapter IV:
Lock and Load
Simon walks down the dark hallway only lit by the emergency lights mounted on the wall and the sparks of shorted out computer equipment. Simon makes his way for the locker rooms where the HEV suits are held. First he goes to the sink to rinse the stale taste of vomit from his mouth. He walks out of the bathroom into the main room with lockers on every wall. He walks into another room across from the bathrooms. He opens the door and steps onto a patio and beyond the patio were three large glass tubes, one of them containing an orange HEV suit. Simon presses a button on the keypad ahead of him. The glass lifts up but automatically stops. The glass then goes back down. Fed up with it all Simon walks over to the glass tube and kicks it with all his might. The glass breaks into thousand pieces. Simon takes off his lab coat and puts on the HEV suit.
Now equipped with the HEV suit he heads to lab D to find a weapon. The door hisses open revealing rows of tables covered with broken glass and paper as well was the floor. In the distance Simon can see a door; He figured it was Kyle's office. Stepping over papers and glass, Simon opens the door. The room is dark. He feels the wall for a light switch, finds it, and turns the light on. Simon looked at the desk in front of him, only to have his heart stop. There looking him right in the eye, was a little white crab. Slowly, Simon backs away. The crab starts to rear on its back legs. Simon looks behind him to see a sword mounted on the wall inside a sheath. Simon cautiously reaches for the sword. The crab is now in a full stand revealing its many teeth. Simon removed the sword from the sheath, the crab bounds for his head, Simon swings the sword as hard as he can in front of him, but the sword was too heavy and slips from Simon's hands. The sword flies across the room and pierces the wall, with the crab skewered on the end, its yellowish blood dripping down the white brick wall. Simon, astonished by his luck, walks over the desk and opens each drawer one at a time looking for the gun. He finds the gun in the bottom right drawer. Simon noticed it was the same pistol issued to all the security guards, also in the drawer were three boxes of ammo. He loads a clip into the gun, pulls back the chamber and says under his breath, "Lock and load! Look out you alien bastards!"
Simon walks out of the office into the slightly destructed lab. Passing through the rows of tables with gun at the ready, Simon stops suddenly, and listens. He hears a rustling of paper under a desk. On top of the desk was a flask filled with liquid. Simon slowly walks towards the desk. "Don't Shoot! Don't hurt me!" A scientist jumps up from behind the desk. Alarmed, Simon pulls the trigger; He misses the scientist, but hits the flask of liquid, its contents soaking the scientist behind it. The scientist looks at his soaked coat, only to notice that it's starting to corrode. Simon looks on, the scientist screams in terror as the chemical eats away at his face and chest. Simon could only stare in terror, watching it eat away at his skin revealing his skull. The scientist falls to the ground behind the desk. Simon walks towards the panicking scientist. "For Christ sake help me! Help Me" The scientist said now half of his face corroded. Simon thinks it over, thinking it would end his torture. He points the gun to his forehead and fires. A sudden bang emanates the lab and the screaming suddenly stops. Simon heaves again, but catches himself. He takes a deep breath and moves on. , Leaving the remains of the scientist behind, the acid still eating away at his skin.
Horrified by what he just saw, Simon walks out of lab D. He heads back to the main room. The red lights were still rotating around the room and the alarms were blaring louder than ever. Simon looks around and walks behind the desk. He flips a switch under the computer's keyboard. There were two beeps then the alarms shut off and the normal lights flip on. An awkward and spooky silence fills the room. Simon walks out the giant door towards the tram.
Outside on the bridge, lies another security guard dead, with a large piece of metal shoved in his chest. Simon takes a quick glance only to see that he wasn't breathing. Simon walks on to the end of the end of the bridge and waits for the tram. While he waits, he looks back on the death and suffering he saw. [What the hell happened?] He asks himself, [My second day at work and everything falls apart! I have to get out of here!] Suddenly the ram pulls up filled with scientists, but the tram doesn't seem to be slowing down, going faster! In fact it doesn't stop at the bridge at all! The scientists inside are bashing on the window for their lives! The tram speeds past the bridge and with an echoing explosion and many loud screams, crashes into the giant door ahead of it! The flames from the explosion illuminate the tunnel. Screams of terror fill the tunnel as the scientists burn to their death. Simon backs off from the heat if the flames and runs back into the main room. His only exit destroyed. He walks back into the main room and down the hall to his left looking for and emergency exit of some sort. Walking down the long corridor he finds a red sign, on it has a stick person running up some stairs, being chased by poorly drawn flames. Underneath that, the words "Emergency Exit" were written in bold white letters followed by an arrow pointing to a door next to it. Simon opens the door and runs up the stairs.
Simon makes his way up the long flight of stairs. Suddenly, the room shakes, and a large piece from the concrete wall falls and breaks apart the stairs. , Leaving a giant gap in his path, too big to jump. "Damn it!" Simon curses as he walks back down to the nearest door. He opens a door, fearing what's behind it. Slowly the door creaks open. Simon peeks around the corner. All clear. He walks out into the unfamiliar hall way and checks for any activity. He looks around with his gun at the ready and turns around to see if anything's behind him. Nothing. A bit uneasy and unsure, Simon walks down the hall. The hallway led to a large door. The door had a retinal scanner next to it under the scanner was another dead security guard his face ripped to shreds. Simon puts his face onto the scanner. The scanner hums to life, the male computer states, "Access Denied." Simon had to look for someone to open the door. He looks at the deceased guard, but his face was too ripped up to see his eyes. "Screw it!" Simon yelled as he points his gun at the scanner and fires. The scanner arcs and buzzes as the door opens partially, Just enough for Simon to crawl under. He gets on his knees to crawl under the door.
Simon squeezes under the door and gets up. Simon looks around to see that he's on t boardwalk next to the tram tunnel. Simon walks down the boardwalk. Suddenly almost three feet in front of him a ball of electricity appears out of no where! Simon gets his gun ready. Just then, a creature with four red eyes appears from the electric ball then it disappears leaving the creature there. Simon stands there in fear. The creature slowly stands on its two legs, and then looks at Simon. It raises its huge claws in the air creating large arcs of electricity. Simon pulls the trigger, all he hears is a click. He runs and dives behind a concrete pillar. The electric arc zaps passed him. Simon loads another clip into the hand gun, then rolls out from behind the pillar. Simon aims and unloads a clip on the creature. It screams and falls to the ground bleeding the same yellowish blood found in the crabs. The sound from his gun echoes down the tunnels. Simon, to avoid running out again, loads his weapon again and pulls back the chamber. He walks on.
After walking for about five minutes, he spots a sign pointing to another large door, "Sector D". There was another retinal scanner. Simon again points his gun and fires. But this time the door opens all the way revealing a long hallway. Simon tired of walking proceeds down the twisting hallway. Just as he was about to turn a corner, he hears something.
"KSHHHT, Corporal, you see anything? KSHHHT"
"KSHHHT, Negative private, keep an eye out for more of those damn crabs! KSHHHT"
"KSHHHT, Roger! KSHHHT"
Simon peeks around the corner, [It's the marines!] He thought [They're here to save us!] Suddenly a scientist runs from the other hallway towards the marines with both of his hands in the air.
"Thank God! The Government, they must here to- GWAAAAH!"
The marines open fire with their automatic weapons. [I guess not!] Simon thinks. He runs down the hallway.
"FREEZE, Asshole!" One marine yells. Simon stops in his tracks.
"Turn around and drop your weapon!" Simon slowly turns around and drops his handgun.
"What do you know about- Holy Shit!?! What's that?" The marines look past Simon, he slowly turns around. He sees a big muscular beast about two feet taller than he is, the creature had an iron like helmet and shoulder pads, his chest was split open revealing its ribs and two tentacles coming out from it. And it had a bug looking weapon. Simon runs and dives around the corner. The marines open fire on the beast, they hardly affects it. It shoots out whistling type bugs from its strange weapon and kills the lead marine. The private takes a grenade from his belt, pulls the pin and throws it. So sooner does he throw the grenade, one of the bugs protrudes his chest and he dies. The beast looks at Simon who is hiding behind the corner, suddenly the grenade explodes! The beast lets out a bellowing roar and falls forward onto the ground. Simon slowly gets up. He walks over to the dead marines and takes one of the M-16s. He searches the bodies for more clips; he finds some and takes a few grenades in case he encounters another one of those beasts. He loads a magazine into the gun and proceeds down the hallway to the Weapons Test Facility.
Whoa this was a fun chapter to write. I'm tired now so... laters!
