Part 12: Vengeful

It was surprisingly uneventful after that. That didn't keep it from being terrible.

Jinx could barely walk, but Nightwalker, despite his own injuries, had no problem letting her lean on him, while Gizmo commented that they needed her to be looked at. Out of danger for the moment, Shimmer had withdrawn into an exhausted sorrow: maybe they could find an exit now, but her brother was gone.

And then Gizmo had to go and ruin that thought when Shimmer suggested they find a way out.

"There is no way out." Gizmo said, and briefly explained his discovery of the shield and his failed attempt to shut it down. When Jinx and Nightwalker told him about their rainy clock tower experience (with Jinx expressing approval over what Nightwalker had done to Leatherface), Gizmo had pointed out that said rainfall had coincided with his failed attempt to shut down the computer.

"So…how do we escape?" Jinx asked.

"Well, the shield should be due to run out of power soon."

"How soon?"

"You got me, I've completely lost track of time. It could be 3:00 AM or 5:30 AM for all I know."

"I told Blood that a watch should be part of our gear." Came the new voice, as everyone jumped, Nightwalker even aiming his now empty gauntlet at the sound, as Belinda appeared in a side hallway.

"Huh. A drone survived. Amazing." Jinx said.

"Shut up." Belinda retorted, clearly in a bad mood. "Is there anyone else with you?"

"Just us." Nightwalker said. "We saw Jason chase another one of our numbers off earlier, and we haven't seen them since. So he's iffy."

"Jason? You mean Voorhees?"

"Oh yeah." Gizmo lamented.

"We had our own problems. Come on." Belinda said, turning and walking away, as if she expected the Hive kids to follow her.

In the end, they did. They couldn't think of anything else to do.

Flay's body was under a sheet, a sheet Nightwalker sadly lowered back over him. Flay had seemed like a decent person: the fact that he'd sacrificed his life for the last three Hive drones certainly attested to that. Jinx was resting, while Shimmer sat nearby, staring off into space. Jinx could tell she was hurting, and tried to help.

"So um…what's that?" Jinx said, pointing to the Camera Obscura that still hung around Shimmer's neck.

"The Camera Obscura. It's from a video game. It dispels ghosts." Shimmer replied dully.

"Oh…was it helpful?" Jinx reached.

"No. It's out of film." Shimmer replied, and went back to staring. Jinx found she couldn't think of anything else to say, and went back to resting. Nearby, Gizmo conversed with the drones.

"So where IS Blood?" Kane asked.

"I have no idea. I haven't seen him since before this shit began. I can only assume the opening incident killed him or something else did."

"May have been the opening incident." Nightwalker said, as he began to relate what Zippy had told him…and then remembered Zippy.

"Oh damn! I got so distracted…we have to go look for her!"

"And run into something else? You can count me out." Kane said.

"I don't know. It's been pretty quiet. I think that with Myers and your Tall Man down, there might just be Jason left. And even he needs a doorway or some shadows to appear in: if you stand back to back in the middle of the room you should be ok." Nightwalker said. "But I want to go back. If I have to, I'll go alone."

"Are you armed?" Belinda asked.

"I am a weapon."

"Ha ha. Seriously."

"I have some C4 in this pack. Besides that, no. I'll still go alone if necessary."

"Shit no. Assuming that the people in this room are the last survivors, this night has already resulted in near-total losses for the Hive. I don't want that to shrink even more." Gizmo said, as he pulled out a new gun, one he'd constructed from a few spare parts in a nearby weapons room, much better then the weak one he'd had before.

"Fine. Any of you have any medical training?" Nightwalker asked. Kane and Belinda raised their hand. "Jinx is pretty badly hurt. There's a med room nearby, see if you can help her. If you're worried, have everyone stay in it, I'm going to find Zippy." Nightwalker said, and a few moments later he and Gizmo were heading off.

"Dumb kids." Belinda commented.

And somewhere else, a room was being torn apart. Not by a monster, but by a particularly addled teen.

"Batteries! Come on! You'd think this was a desert island, not a friggin base!" Buzz Bomb said, as he pulled apart another box and pawed through the contents. "I have had enough, there has GOT to be…"

A slight sound came from Buzz Bomb's side.

Once again, Mittens escaped death when Buzz Bomb tried to blow whatever made the motion away.

"The damn CAT AGAIN? COME ON! THIS STOPPED BEING FUNNY BACK IN THE FIFTH CHAPTER, IF IT WAS EVER FUNNY IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Buzz Bomb yelled, as Mittens ran away, perhaps by now contemplating to never approach anyone for food ever again. Buzz Bomb grabbed another box and turned it upside down, the contents scattering around the floor…

Including several familiar plastic packages.

"FINALLY!" Buzz Bomb screamed, as he snatched up the battery pack. "Now, the power is MINE! Mwahahahahahaha! MUWAHAHAHAHHAHA. Hmmmmm no, Myers always managed a better baritone…" Buzz Bomb said as he tore open the package and yanked out his remote, removing the back and snapping the batteries in. The remote finally activated. "YES! YES! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ah there we go! Now I have the power! Time for them to know it!" Buzz Bomb rejoiced, as he fired up his wings and flew out of the room, eager to find the remaining Hive members.

The only good thing was that on the way to the dorms, Gizmo and Nightwalker passed by Blood's head office, which allowed Nightwalker to go in and retrieve his detonator.

That was the last good thing, as they made their way to Zippy's room…and found just what Wilby had found. It produced retching from Gizmo, while Nightwalker stared at it for a long while…and then fell on his rear end.

"…why…" He said to himself.

"…I don't know man. I'm sorry." Gizmo said, having managed to recover from his nausea. "I've been in this villain business a lot longer then you, and I know something: you can't save them all. You did what you could. Let's go. We shouldn't hang around here, just in case."

"Wait…Rocko. She's here too. We should…at least tell her." Nightwalker said, as he got up, taking one last look at the carnage inside Wilby's room before closing the door and moving on.

What lay inside Nightwalker's room some halls away was cleaner but no less heartbreaking. All that lay where Rocko had sat was a pile of stones, without a flicker of movement or life. Nightwalker and Gizmo yelled, kicked, and moved the stones around for several minutes, thinking that maybe, just maybe, that might bring Rocko back from whatever oblivion she was in, but there was no response.

"…I thought she just wanted a nap. That she couldn't die." Nightwalker eventually said.

"Everyone dies." Gizmo replied. "I guess if anything could kill the blockhead, it would be this environment."

Nightwalker sighed again.

"Let's go." Nightwalker said, and left the room. He was so downed he didn't even bother to take any more ammo.

The journey back to the room where the others had been left was peaceful: no creatures leapt from the shadows, no monsters came from the doorways, no slashers emerged seeking blood and death. It looked like the night was finally done.

Though Patrick the drone was still a little high strung, as he nearly blew Nightwalker and Gizmo away when they walked through the door. Gizmo started, but Nightwalker just waved him away and headed for the medical room.

"Your friend is a complainer, but we patched her up." Belinda said, as Kane finished setting up an arm sling for Jinx. "We taped her ankle, so she should be able to walk for now, albeit not without pain."

"Can I run?" Jinx asked.

"You remember that 'not without pain' part? Same thing, except more so."

"I can live with that." Jinx said, setting her feet down and wincing a bit.

"You alright Llarenes?" Nightwalker asked.

"Weren't you listening? Duh." Jinx said, and grinned brightly despite herself. It faded though, as she blinked. "Man I feel tired…too much death-escaping for one night…"

Nightwalker was about to say something, when Kane nudged his shoulder. From his expression, it was clear that Kane wanted to talk to him.

"I'm going to go check on Shimmer Jinx."

"Ok." Jinx said, as she sat back down on the medical padded table, leaning against the wall, as Nightwalker walked off. Kane followed him.

"Yes?"

"You seemed close to her…so I figured I should tell you." Kane said. Nightwalker suddenly felt his guts clench: he wasn't going to like this.

"We managed to set her injuries…arm, ankle, and such…but I'm afraid X-rays show worse then broken ribs. She's bleeding internally."

"…Well why are you telling me!"

"We can't stop the bleeding." Belinda said as she suddenly appeared by his side. Nightwalker looked at her, and even with the helmet Belinda could tell he realized what she meant.

"But…no…I mean…you…"

"We have basic medical training. We are not medics or doctors. Chances are our medics and doctors are all dead. And with us still trapped in the building…sorry kid."

"We thought…maybe you should tell her. We can't do anything else without killing her outright." Kane said.

Nightwalker's face glanced back and forth between the two…and then his shoulders slumped.

"How long?"

"She's already feeling the effects. I don't think it will be painful…but all I can recommend is that you find her a comfortable place and let her stay there. Probably for the best." Belinda said.

Nightwalker looked back at Jinx, leaning on the wall, looking off in the distance, as if all she wanted to do was leave…never realizing she never would.

"…I don't think I can tell her." Nightwalker said.

"I'll do it."

Gizmo's voice startled everyone, as they looked down at him.

"She's my teammate. I think maybe I can get her to understand the best." Gizmo said. He sighed himself, and made a furtive movement that might have been pushing away a tear or might have just been a random facial touch. "Here's what we're going to do. We'll go back across the Hive, go to the dorms at the other end, drop her off there, and then we'll go back to the TV room. The roof's blown out, we can climb out through it and at least get the heck out of the base. When the shield goes, we get out of here as fast as possible. Sound good?"

Everyone nodded.

"Ok then, let's go."

And so a few minutes later the survivors set out, Belinda and Patrick in the front, then Nightwalker helping Jinx (Belinda had asked him to help them up front, but after revealing that all he had left in terms of weaponry was a detonator and some leftover C4, she'd told him to help Jinx instead), then Shimmer, still walking like she was in a dream, and with Gizmo and Kane bringing up the rear. They walked for a bit, without anything bothering them.

Despite what he said, Gizmo hadn't told Jinx. At least not yet, but he figured that with the calm of the moment, he would be able to work up the guts to eventually.

It was that calm that kept Belinda and Patrick from shooting Buzz Bomb when he appeared in front of them in the hallway. He was, of all things, leaning casually on the wall, like he was waiting for a bus. Nightwalker noted that if this wasn't the hall where he had earlier encountered Betelgeuse, it was damn similar in its width and design.

"So, our errant coward survived. Who knew?" Belinda said.

"Henh. Keep saying that. You won't get much longer to." Buzz Bomb said, smirking. General confused expressions crossed everyone's face.

"Listen up! I have something to say!" Buzz Bomb said as he shoved off the wall.

"Not interested in hearing it. Move it or get left behind." Belinda replied.

"Oh no, I think you'll all be very interested in standing still soon." Buzz Bomb, as he flew up and past Belinda and Patrick, popping himself down near Gizmo and Kane, as he pulled out a remote like device.

"VERY interested." He said.

Nightwalker had a feeling that despite everything that had already happened, it was about to get worse.

How could it be bested, AGAIN?

The last time could be written off as a fluke of luck. It was new, unexpected, and with men and women of character, people who could easily fall into the survivor archetypes. This time was supposed to be different.

And yet it had lost, again. They had all fallen, again, slain by the sinners. The fact that they had taken most of the number down meant nothing to it: it expected to claim them all.

And claim them it would!

The darkness flowed down the hallways, pulled from the rooms, all drawn back to the nexus point, as it focused on a TV that had once again moved out to the center of the room, as the darkness gathered around it, as if it was drawing it in.

Taking what remained and merging together with it.

It was through fucking around.

The children would DIE!

The TV snapped on, hissing static.

"Look Buzzhole, we don't have…" Gizmo said.

"SILENCE!" Buzz Bomb shrieked, as he aimed his remote at the wall. He'd had to do this manually last time, but with batteries his device eliminated that need, as he aimed it at the wall and pressed a button.

A section snapped off and slid aside on rails, revealing another square plastic box, about the size of a small TV. It clearly wasn't part of the original Hive design.

"What? What's with the box?" Jinx asked.

"Oh I could go on and on for hours on the genius enclosed within this device, but I know you would all tell me to shove it! Because that's what you ALWAYS do! Well, no more! My revenge is at hand, and the shoe is on the other foot!"

"He's gone nuts. Shall I shoot him?" Belinda said, aiming her gun.

"Considering it." Gizmo replied.

"NO ONE IS SHOOTING ME! Because I have the power! This is no box! It's a bomb! And scattered throughout the whole Hive are boxes just like it, and all of them all controlled by THIS! I press the button, and we all go BOOM!" Buzz Bomb said, thrusting his remote triumphantly up.

The realization came to all of the remaining Hive members at roughly the same time: Buzz Bomb had wired the whole place to blow. No wonder he had bragged about a secret weapon, and had been so eager to find batteries. Now that he had them, the power literally was in his hand.

All the drones and Gizmo aimed their guns at him.

"AH AH! This has a hair trigger! Guns down! NOW!" Buzz Bomb ordered. The four looked at each other, and then in great disgust lowered their guns. Buzz Bomb cackled, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"Buzz…" Gizmo said.

"Be QUIET, MIKRON! I HAVE THE POWER! GET ON YOUR KNEES!"

"Buzz…"

"KNEES! NOW!"

With more exasperation then fear, Gizmo got on his knees.

"Buzz…"

"Silence! You will call me master!"

"Oh fuck this." Nightwalker said, as he slipped himself out from under Jinx's arm, Shimmer taking his place to hold her as he took a step forward. "Buzz Bomb, give me the remote."

"Oh no! I've worked for a YEAR for this moment, and no force can stop me now!"

"Have you learned how to teleport?" Nightwalker asked.

"Don't be silly! If I could, I'd have left hours ago!"

"Are you wearing an explosion proof suit?"

"Mostly, yes!"

"The suit with all the cracks and dings from fighting monsters?" Gizmo said from where he was crouched, Kane having moved away from him and back to Belinda and Patrick's side, as if they were trying to think up their own plan.

"SILENCE! I AM YOUR MASTER!"

"Your suit is pretty banged up Buzz. I wouldn't be putting it to the test at the moment. Give me the remote." Nightwalker said.

"…Ooooh no! Villain's creed article six: logic shall never sway a villain!" Buzz Bomb retorted.

"You idiot! If you blow us up, YOU BLOW YOURSELF UP!" Nightwalker snapped.

"He's right Buzz Bomb. Did you survive, somehow, all this crud to commit suicide?"

"Oh, you're not going to talk me down from this! I've EARNED it!" Buzz Bomb cackled again.

"Fine." Nightwalker said, snapping up his remaining gauntlet. "Hand it over or get hurt."

"I can press this button before you can fire!"

"I don't think so." Nightwalker said coolly. "Drop it."

"Forget it! You think you can beat me to the punch! SHOOT!"

A dead silence.

And then Nightwalker lowered his arm, unable to believe the nutcase in front of him had called his bluff. Buzz Bomb cackled once more.

"Hee hee hee hee hee…at last, I have the power! For the first time in my life, I am the one in charge! You will bow to me! My word will be divine fiat and I will be worshipped as though I were a god! I will destroy everything you care about, unless you bow to my most hideous and vain whims! Chicks will dig me! Men will envy me!"

"You think a few bombs can do all that?" Nightwalker said in disgust.

"It's all about scale! Nobody left standing can stop me before I push the button. Nobody left standing can get away before I push the button. So right here and now, I have the power!"

"Power you forfeit in death if you actually try and exert it." Nightwalker said.

"Hey, for me its win/win! If I push the button, I never have to put up with you bastards ever again! If I don't, you are all under my power!"

Gizmo smacked his forehead, muttering about how he would consider going over to the side of the hero, as long as they actually had common sense…

And then his motion detector started beeping. Gizmo glanced down at it, and then at Buzz Bomb, who was too busy glorifying himself to notice Gizmo. Gizmo unclipped the device and looked at it. One signal, heading their way.

"Guys…." Gizmo said.

"Be quiet! No more talking! There is only one game in town now! And the name of that game is, MAKE BUZZ BOMB HAPPY." Buzz Bomb exulted. "First, you will provide me with any and all amounts of caffeine, on demand, double time! Second…!"

Gizmo turned around, ignoring Buzz Bomb as he looked at the signal, which was closing in rapidly…too rapidly. It was like it was moving right through solid objects…

And then it stepped out from the shadows in front of Gizmo.

When Gizmo realized what it was, he didn't even fire a shot. His gun dropped from numb fingers.

"Forth, I will be allowed to camp and snipe in Counter-Strike, and no one will call me a hacker or a noob…" Buzz Bomb was saying.

"RUN!" Gizmo screamed, and everyone's head jerked towards the teen as he backed up. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! JUST RUN! JUST…" Gizmo said, as his words cut off in violent coughing, as he clawed at his throat, choking…and then he fell over, his face locked in agonized fear, water trickling from his mouth, dead.

Revealing the figure standing in front of him, as she lowered her arm. And there was no mistaking her.

"…Samara." Shimmer squeaked.

"…No." Jinx said, as she too looked at the girl, clad in a long white dress, her black hair over her face…a girl that was just a bit too tall, a bit too willowy. It wasn't Samara, from The Ring.

"Sadako." Jinx said. From the original Japanese film, Ringu. And considered, in terms of scares, to be far worse.

"Hey new girl, nice start!" Buzz Bomb said, giving Sadako a thumbs up. "Now get that Nightwalker guy next. Something just doesn't rub me right about him."

And Nightwalker took advantage of Buzz Bomb's distraction to dash forward and snatch the device from his hand.

"NO!" Buzz Bomb screamed, as Nightwalker reared back and smashed it against the wall (sideways to avoid hitting any buttons), shattering the device. "NO! MY PLAN! MONTHS OF PLOTTING, MONTHS OF NO SLEEP, A RAPID HEARTBEAT AND TYPE 2 DIABETES! ITS NOT FAIR DAMMIT!"

"RUN YOU IDIOT!" Nightwalker snarled back as he grabbed Buzz Bomb and almost tossed him up the hallway, away from Sadako, who had begun to approach, her slow crawl somehow even more menacing then all the walkers who had come before her, as Nightwalker shoved Buzz Bomb past the three drones, who had moved in front of Jinx and Shimmer. "Come on, let's move!"

"Forget it! I've had enough of running!" Kane said, as he snapped a clip into his machine gun.

"Kane WAIT!" Belinda screamed.

"SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!"

Kane opened fire on Sadako.

Not a single shot hit her, every bullet flying away from the vengeful spirit, bouncing off the walls and turning the hallway into a dodgeball game of death. A bullet exploded through Belinda's knee, and she went down with a scream, even as Kane panicked and continued to fire, screaming in defiance, a defiance that was turning into terror.

Sadako shifted, and her hair parted, just a bit, revealing an eye so black and damned it was like staring into hell.

And then a bullet bounced off the wall and made a small pinhole in Kane's forehead just above his left eye. Kane whimpered, and then collapsed to the ground.

And Sadako kept approaching.

"Arggghhhh! Oh no!" Belinda snarled as she writhed over her ruined knee. She damn sure wasn't going to be able to run away now.

And then hands encircled under her armpits, as Nightwalker tried to drag her away. Her response was to punch him in the face.

"Hey!"

"Forget me! Just GO!" Belinda rasped. Nightwalker stared at her, and then she reached up and shoved her gun into his hands.

"Take this!"

…even as she grabbed for his belt.

"Leave me this!" Belinda snapped, yanking off the C4 bag. "Now GO! RUN!"

"Aye aye Captain." Nightwalker said, and ran off, Shimmer helping Jinx as Nightwalker shoved Buzz Bomb along.

Nightwalker stopped suddenly, and then turned around.

"Captain, wait!" Nightwalker yelled.

Belinda couldn't hear him, as she looked upon the face (so to speak) of the approaching Sadako, and already she could feel a tightening in her lungs, but she'd be damned if she went down with a whimper, as she snapped open the bag.

And found, to her horror, that there were no detonation charges in the satchel. It was what Nightwalker had tried to scream to her. Belinda stared in shock, and then looked back up at Sadako, realizing she was dead.

And then a hand held something in front of her. Nightwalker's last detonator. She jerked her head, seeing it was Patrick.

"I thought I told you to run soldier!"

"I guess I'm just an idiot sir." Patrick replied, and then Belinda saw the wound, in the left center of Patrick's chest. Another ricochet had got him: the fact that he was still standing was amazing. But he wouldn't last much longer.

So he'd come back.

As Sadako came for both of them.

"HURRY! THIS IS GONNA BE BIG!" Nightwalker yelled, as the four of them ran through a door…and exited into the same bomb-blasted room where he and Jinx had gone through with Leatherface earlier. "HURRY!"

"Heunh. You always were an idiot Patrick." Belinda said, as she pressed the blue button. She curled her hand around the device, as Patrick put his hand around hers, and once again, as Sadako stepped up.

Her eye glared…

The whole hallway went up in the blast, and then the explosion ignited Buzz Bomb's exposed bomb and quadrupled the power, consuming the whole hallway and a few around it in a raging inferno, the shockwave shaking the whole base.

And causing half the floor in the blasted room to cave into the basement, the remaining floor lurching violently and throwing everyone off balance…and causing Shimmer to lose her grip on Jinx, as she slipped and fell off the edge.

"Llarenes!" Shimmer cried, lunging for Jinx, and just managing to grab her good ankle as she fell off the edge…and was nearly dragged off the edge herself, as Jinx dangled precarious over a dark floor covered with broken, shattered metal: she'd be turned into a pincushion if she fell. "Hang on!"

Shimmer slipped some more, almost completely falling off.

"Let me go Shimmer! You'll fall too!"

"No! No more death!" Shimmer yelled.

"No." Nightwalker said, as he was suddenly next to Shimmer, reaching down and grabbing Jinx's ankle as well. The weight lessened, Shimmer was able to pull herself back, as the two of them pulled Jinx up. It wasn't until later Jinx realized they'd both gotten one hell of a view up her skirt, but modesty wasn't the first thing on her mind.

"Thank you!" Jinx said when she was back on solid ground.

"Last time didn't work out so well." Nightwalker replied, and then the solid ground proved to not be so solid as it lurched violently, and the three Hive members looked at each other and then ran for the door out of the room, Nightwalker snatching up Belinda's and Patrick's guns, the latter having also been given to him before Patrick had gone back to die. There was a bag attached to it: Nightwalker had a feeling he knew what was in it.

Buzz Bomb was already at the door, hammering on it and screaming for it to let him through. In disgust, Nightwalker shoved him out of the way.

"Shimmer!" He ordered. A few seconds later, the steel door was a water puddle, the remaining four survivors running through it and into the stable hallway beyond as the rest of the floor collapsed, sending a cloud of dust poofing through the open door.

"You could have helped pull us up." Jinx said to Buzz Bomb.

"Could have, but then I wouldn't have gotten the chance to…uh…weaken the door…for her." Buzz Bomb said, pointing to Shimmer. Jinx made a noise of disgust.

"Is she gone?" Shimmer said, clearly terrified.

"I don't know. At least the bullets had some effect on previous monsters. She didn't even notice them." Nightwalker replied, as he snapped the clip out of each gun and looked at the ammo capacity. Nearly full for each one. Good, he supposed. Nightwalker then checked the bag and found more clips, which is what he expected. He took three and left the rest for the sake of weight, as he slung one gun around his back and armed up the other.

"And why did she use water?" Jinx asked. Everyone looked at her.

"Isn't she supposed to?" Shimmer replied.

"No, I saw both versions. Sadako's curse was the product of a virus. It was Samara who introduced the whole water and drowning aspect. But Gizmo…oh man Gizmo…he…he drowned. Why is Sadako acting like Samara?" Jinx said

"Poor research on part by the author?" Buzz Bomb volunteered. Everyone glared at him.

"I was in the video game room when this while thing happened. All of us were, except you Jinx. You're the only one who might know, if you saw anything in the movie room." Nightwalker said.

"I…wasn't really paying attention…I was…eating…" Jinx said. "But I did…take a look…but I can't…"

"The Ring and Ringu were sitting on a VCR next to each other." Buzz Bomb said. Once again every stared at him. "I noticed because I was cowering in that room behind the TV set a while ago, avoiding a monster. It was the only TV not wrecked, surprisingly."

"…So they were NEXT to each other?" Shimmer asked.

"What did I just say?"

"So…what? Samara and Sadako have MERGED?" Nightwalker said incredulously.

"You see any monsters since our last battles? Or any change in the atmosphere? I think we beat them all Nightwalker. And I think that the force behind this is pretty damn pissed. And it wants to win. What's better then two powerful spirits of vengeance? One COMBINED one." Jinx said. She was making it up as she went along, but as she spoke the words seemed to gell in her head, as if she knew they were correct.

"So what do we do?" Shimmer asked.

And then she came from the dust, walking through the doorway, as Sadako emerged from the chaos, not a hair out of place. The explosion hadn't affected her in the slightest.

Everyone stared at her in shock and fear. At least for a second.

"RUN!" Nightwalker yelled, as the four broke down the hallway, Shimmer and Nightwalker helping Jinx, as Sadako followed them, hunting them down.

The four rounded the corner.

And the new figure loomed in front of them, making everyone stop with a scream.

As the voice whispered through the hallways.

"Everyone will suffer."

To Be Concluded, On Halloween!
