Chapter 8: "Look at the Pretty Leeches Burn..."
Bakura's POV
"Looks like we won't have to worry about that place anymore," I said to myself. I spent my time thinking about what awaits us next as we take a ride in this train. Where will it lead us? Perhaps it will lead to somewhere safe... or maybe somewhere worse than what we've encountered already. I looked out the window for about an hour until I noticed that the train was coming close to a hospital. That's great for me, now I can finally heal my wounds. Moments later, the train stopped in front of the hospital. We all got off the train and looked around closely. I looked at the windows of the hospital and noticed a person hitting a window on the third floor, as if trying to show us something. I quickly turned around and found a large group of zombies heading toward us, about a group of forty zombies. We ran towards the entrance of the hospital and all ran inside. As the last of us entered, we quickly closed the doors and barricaded it with some chains nearby the door.
The zombies still tried to get in, banging on the doors and trying to break them down. Suddenly, a voice was heard in the room we were in by means of an intercom. He told us to find another exit out of the hospital because the hospital was just as bad as outside the hospital. There was the sound of something clicking and then a sudden crash from there. "Oh no!" shouted the voice. Running was heard and a loud thump was heard, and then screaming and the whole thing went silent. ".... What the hell was that?" asked Joey. Suddenly, an air vent busted open and something dropped from the air vent and stood back up on its feet. It was a hideous creature, completely covered by leeches from head to toe... if it had any. A door beside us opened and some man told us to quickly get inside. We all ran in there and closed the door. We were in a tight little office where we could barely move. The man explained what was going on in the hospital, how leeches have practically taken over the hospital because of all the stored blood that's kept here. "So how'd you get here George?" asked Kevin. Seems like they know each other. "We all separated after that explosion, remember? Jim and Cindy are here too. I still have no idea where Yoko, Mark, and Alyssa are," said George.
"No time to worry about them now, we've got to get out of here first," said the plumber. "David... how can you say that?" asked George with concern. "So that's your name," said Yugi. "Yeah, you happy now?" said David sarcastically. "Can we just shut up and move?" asked Joey. Everyone nodded and George led us to another office where an elevator was. Once in the room, we split up into three groups. I went with Marik, Yugi and Joey. George went with David, Kevin, and Odion. Mai went with Kaiba, Mokuba, Umbra, and Lumis. George hand me a sheet of paper with some numbers on it. "What's this for?" I asked. "Go to the first basement floor and you'll find the elevator control room. You'll have to input two of these numbers to unlock the other two floors in this building," said George. "As for Kaiba and the others in the group, go search all of the second for a cardkey to get into a room in the first floor basement. Once you've obtained it, go unlock the door and go to the last room in that hallway and down the stairs. There should be some keys there." They nodded and went in the elevator first. We waited and the elevator opened behind us and George and his group went in and up to the third As we waited for the elevator to come down, many leeches began to drop from the air vents and tried to jump at us and attack. We stomped on them and killed them, and then that 'leech man' appeared from the air vents. The elevator opened and a zombie walked out of it. Marik grabbed the zombie and shoved it into the leech man and we got in the elevator. "I think it's dead," said Marik. "What's dead?" I asked. "The zombie, I think the leech man killed it," said Marik. The elevator opened and we got out. There was banging heard from the other side of hallway. There was a door labeled "Elevator Control" by the noise and we went in. "Cover me in case something happens," I said. I walked towards a control panel with a set of numbers. I looked at that paper and entered the first set of numbers, '0930'. It then flashed "Rooftop Unlocked". I put in another set of numbers, '3555'. Nothing happened. Put in the third set of numbers, '8211'. Again, nothing happened. The air vent in the room popped open and out came the leech man. "Shit, not him again..." said Marik. Joey, Yugi, and Marik shot fired at the creature, but it barely flinched. "What the hell? Bullets don't pierce it?" I asked. I quickly entered the last set of numbers, '5315'. It flashed "B2F Unlocked".
"Let's go!" shouted Yugi. We ran out of the room and headed back to the elevator. Once inside, we went down to B2F and ran into the nearest room. There were some handgun rounds on top of some sort of note. Joey took the handgun rounds and I read the note. The note said something about a temperature control room. I noticed some odd drawer that was cold. I opened it and found a blood pack. Suddenly, an idea popped in my head. We can burn the leech man! There was a door next to the drawer and I went in. This was it, the temperature control room. There was a concealed room that is controlled by the machine that sets the temperature high or low. I walked into the concealed room inside this room and poured the blood pack on the floor. Immediately after pouring the blood, the leech man came out of the air vent and went after the blood and started licking it off the floor. I ran back to the main room and set the temperature to high. Yugi, Joey, Marik and I stared from the other side of the room at how the leech man was beginning to weaken; some of the leeches were falling off of the creature. The creature eventually fell to the floor and all of the leeches spread all over the floor, revealing that the leech man was actually a man that was covered by leeches. I walked up to the glass and looked at the leeches burn and melt. I then said as I stared, "Oooh... look at the pretty leeches burn..."
