Chapter 6: Underbelly
The survivors are stuck in the streets running away from zombies from the train crash. They run as fast as they can, eluding zombies after zombies and they end up underground.
"I wanna get outta here now," Yoko said, panting very fast.
"It's not safe up there. We go down instead," Kevin told them.
The survivors go down deeper into the subway until…
"Um, I think I need to go to the bathroom," David said.
The survivors proceed to the bathrooms. (With a French accent) At the Women's bathroom…
"Ah! I feel completely recharged," Cindy refreshingly said.
"Let's wait outside until the guys are done," Yoko said, while flushing the toilet inside the cubicle.
(With a French accent) At the Men's bathroom…
"Are you done yet?" David asked Kevin as he flushes the urinal and zips his fly. Kevin is sitting on the toilet.
"Kill me!"
"You ate too much at the bar, didn't you?"
"Oh. Uh. Whoa, Nelly."
(With a French accent) Outside…
"What took you so long?" Cindy asked Kevin and David.
"It's because Kevin had to-" David's sentence was cut off by Kevin.
"It's nothing guys. We just drank PLENTY of water." Kevin said.
"Rrrrright…" Cindy said.
"Let's go down. There may be a key to that door," Yoko said.
"How'd you know that it's locked?" Kevin asked.
"I already checked that door when the two of you were inside the bathroom."
The survivors go down and inside the train. Inside, David saw the Employee Key on the seat.
"It's a key…" David thought and takes it.
The survivors go back and David uses the Employee Key.
"Don't need this anymore…" he thought.
David throws away the key. The survivors enter.
"Let's split up and look for clues," Kevin told them.
"I told you, WE'RE NOT PLAYING SCOOBY DOO!" David angrily said at him.
The survivors split up. Cindy enters the Control Room. She reads the file nearby.
"What emblems?" she thought to herself.
David, Kevin and Yoko are near the bathrooms.
"Let's check here. There may be something we can use," David said, pointing at the Men's Staff Restroom.
"I'll go here," Yoko said, pointing to the Women's Staff Restroom.
David and Kevin enter the Men's Staff Restroom while Yoko enters the Women's Staff Restroom.
David sees a file nearby and reads it. "Why is the word "Card" highlighted?" he thought to himself.
(With a French accent) At the Women's Staff Restroom…
A woman is dragged up the ceiling and she screams real loud.
"I'll help you!"
Yoko grabs the woman's legs and tries to pull her down. But the force was so strong it pulled the woman along with Yoko. They were pulled completely up. After a few minutes, Yoko falls down from above and lands on her ass.
"Ouch!"
Later, the survivors meet.
"Find anything?" Kevin asked them.
"Zilch," Yoko replied.
"I found a file. It's something about emblems and we can use that to escape," Cindy said.
"Let's go to places we haven't been," Kevin told them.
"In here?" David said, pointing to the Break Room. Suddenly, he saw a zombie behind Cindy. He aims his gun and Cindy thinks she's going to get shot. Cindy is shocked. David fires the gun and hits…the zombie behind Cindy.
Cindy closed her eyes and noticed that she's still alive. She sees the zombie knocked down near her feet.
"Thanks," she thanked him.
"Whatever."
The survivors enter the Break Room. David checks on a locked locker.
"I need a passcode. Passcode? Card?" David thought. He inputs "Card" on the locker and opens it. He sees a key inside it.
"A key? For what?" He thought. He gets the B2F Key as he knows that he'll need it.
"Lemme see that," Yoko said, looking at the key in David's hands. "It says "B2F.""
"Maybe it's for the blue door at the far end. Let's check it out," Kevin said.
The survivors proceed to the blue door at the far end. David unlocks the door.
The survivors go down and into the Stairwell. They are at the B2F passage.
"Where do we go now?" Cindy asked them. They saw the nearest room which piqued their curiosity. They had the urge to enter it, which is the Refuse Dump. There were lots of giant fleas.
"Ahh! Giant fleas!" Yoko shouted.
Everyone screams like women and they exit the Refuse Dump as fast as they can. Outside, the survivors pant tiredly.
"We are NOT going back there!" Yoko said.
"Straight?" Kevin asked them.
The survivors proceed to the Emergency Power Room.
David sees two valve handles and takes one of them. "I'll take one of these. I'll go to the Pump Room and fix the pipes."
"Alright," Kevin said.
David proceeds to the Pump Room while the other three wait inside the Power Room. Cindy got curious with a switch nearby.
"What does this switch do?"
Cindy flips the switch. At the Pump Room…
"Hmmm."
David gets electrocuted.
"What the hell! I gotta get outta this goddamn water!"
David runs…and gets electrocuted…again.
"Ugh!"
David uses the Valve Handle on the hole and the water drains.
"Whew," David said.
Kevin, Yoko and Cindy go out of the Emergency Power Room and meet with David.
"I think the water's gone," Kevin said.
"Damn water, always electrocuting me!" David complained.
"So that switch was the one that turned on the power." Yoko said.
"What switch?"
"Nothing!" Cindy quickly reacted.
"The one that Cindy flipped," Yoko said.
"No wonder why I got electrocuted by that water," David angrily said.
"I didn't mean it!" Cindy shouted at him.
"Why I oughta-"
"Hey! Both of you get a grip!" Kevin told them.
"Ok!" David and Cindy innocently said to Kevin and halos appeared on their head.
"You guys better do that. Well, let's go to the train," Kevin said.
Kevin and Yoko proceed. David and Cindy's halos turn into horns and they glare at each other. At the Platform, a megabyte appears. The survivors scream like women.
"In the train! NOW!" Kevin quickly told them.
The survivors run to the Subway Car.
"Whew! Anybody hurt?" Kevin asked them.
"We're fine," David said. "I really wish Cindy got hurt though," he said under his breath.
"I heard that," Cindy said.
Cindy attempted to hurt David but suddenly, a train can be heard coming from afar.
"A train?" Yoko wondered.
"What's going on?" Kevin asked.
The train goes out of control and crashes beside the train the survivors are in. The sparks from the crash caused a fire as well and released nerve gas in the Platform. The survivors get out of the train.
"Fleas," David shouted and started shooting at the fleas.
"Hey! You had to mimic the two of us all along!" Cindy said.
"Um, it came out of my mouth?"
"Oh, please. Don't be such a drama queen,"
"Let's get outta here! This gas is annoying!" Yoko said.
The survivors proceed to the Employee Passage. They fought countless megabytes and make their way to the Breaker Room.
"Uh, what are we doing here?" David asked.
"I went here when we split up a while ago. So that means that the console should now be on now that I turned the power on. I'll try to put the power back to the warehouse so that we can enter it," Cindy said.
Cindy goes to the console and solves the puzzle.
"I think it's open," Cindy told them.
The survivors proceed to the Warehouse. David sees some Repair Tape on the floor.
"It's repair tape. I can use this to repair the hole on the pipe in the pump room…" he said.
"Why not use your own tape?" Kevin asked.
"I may need it for our survival."
Nearby, Cindy is having trouble pushing a crate.
"It's too heavy. Yoko, help me push this," she told her.
"Ok."
Yoko and Cindy push the heavy crate together. After pushing it, Cindy climbs the crate and gets the Assault Rifle.
"Thanks Yoko," Cindy said.
"Ok."
The survivors proceed to the Pump Room.
"I'll just have to tape the hole," David said.
He tapes the hole and uses the valve handle on the hole nearby. The fire in the Platform dies.
"What was that for?" Kevin asked.
"The entire platform is on fire. Not to mention, that's also the reason why there's gas around."
The survivors get out but Yoko trips on the Emblem of Founder. Everyone looks at Yoko.
"Is that one of the emblems?" Cindy looked at it.
"What emblems?" Kevin asked.
"THAT emblem," David replied, pointing to it, as he takes the emblem.
"What's it for?" David asked Cindy.
"It's for the train. Let's go back to the train and put this emblem on it."
The survivors proceed to the train.
"I'll check what was in the fire," David told them.
David proceeds to the where the fire was and finds another Emblem of Founder. David takes it.
"I found another one…" he thought. He went back to the other side to rejoin the others, who are shooting at a megabyte.
"David! Watch out!" his comrades warned him.
"Watch what?"
A megabyte attached itself unto David and starts to suck his blood.
"Help! Get it offa me! Help! Help!" he ran around in circles.
Kevin tries to aim but is having a hard time because David keeps moving. The megabyte sucks more of David's blood. The megabyte lost its grip and grows.
"OH MY GOD!" the survivors said simultaneously.
Kevin, Yoko and Cindy run inside the train while David rushed to the coupling and inserted the Emblem of Founders. David threw a monkey wrench at the megabyte and ran inside the train. At the Subway Car…
"Whew! Guys, I already inserted the emblems," David said to them.
"Now let's get outta here,"
Suddenly, a giant flea's arm crashed through one of the windows and kidnapped Cindy. The Subway Car tilts slightly and Cindy is knocked out cold and is carried by it.
"What the hell was that?" David asked.
"I don't know. Whatever that is, let's just activate this and get outta here," Kevin said.
Yoko noticed that Cindy's gone. "Where's Cindy?"
"Cindy? Wasn't she there a while ago?"
David saw one of the glass windows is broken. "Um, why is this window broken?"
The survivors proceed to the East Tunnel.
Cindy is having trouble shooting at the Gigabyte "Help! Help me! Somebody help me!"
"Relax. We're here," Kevin said.
"Guys, you have to help me. That…thing over there is blocking our escape route. If we don't kill her, she might try to chase us while we're on the train."
"Enough chit chat! Let's kill that bitch before the train activates!" David told them.
The survivors shoot at the megabytes. Yoko sees that the gigabyte is summoning four megabytes to roll at them.
"Watch out! Swarm!" she told them.
The survivors scatter around and evaded the rolling megabytes. They shoot at the gigabyte.
"Get lost!" Cindy said with anger.
After a few shots or so, the gigabyte dies. Suddenly, the survivors hear an announcement.
"Ladies and gentlemen: The train will be departing shortly. Passengers waiting for the next train should stand beyond the yellow line."
The voice keeps on repeating.
"C'mon! We gotta get to the train!" Kevin told them
The survivors are at the platform. However, megabytes are blocking their way.
"Hey! Get out! We need to board the train!"
The survivors shoot at the megabytes.
"Let's go inside! Now!"
The survivors rush to the train but they are too late. The train left without them.
"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" Kevin shouted very loud. He landed on his ass and started to cry thinking that they'll turn into zombies soon.
David, Yoko and Cindy sit on the edge of the platform claiming that they lose hope.
"We're gonna turn into zombies here sooner or later," David said.
"Don't say that. I'm sure we'll leave this subway."
"So what say we do our things we want to do before we die?"
"Well, all I want to do is to graduate college."
"You can't do that now. It's too dangerous to go back to the streets and go to the university…as if there's someone alive to graduate you."
"What about Kevin? What does he want to do?"
"I know."
"What's that?"
"Kevin wants to have sex with "Little-Miss-Blondie" here."
Cindy overheard David's insult on her. "Excuse me!" They started to argue ignoring Yoko between them.
"Why? You ARE blonde!"
"Hey!"
"Shut up, dumbass!"
"I'm not dumb!"
"Yes you are, blondie!"
"Hey! Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean I'm dumb!"
"Yes you are! ALL blondes are dumb!"
"No, I am not!"
"Yes, you are!"
Yoko couldn't stand the two of them arguing. They act like they don't care about what's happening around. "Hey! The two of you! Stop it!" Yoko interfered.
"Tch. Fine. I'd love to hurt that bitchy blonde."
"That's it!" Cindy angrily said.
Cindy got angry and stood up and went behind him and pulled his ponytail. She dragged him and David can't stand the pain. He grabbed his folding knife and slashed Cindy's left arm causing her to let go.
"Ouch!" Cindy moaned as she touched the slash. She tried to reach for one of her bandages but David strangled her.
She could barely breathe and she strangled David as well. They fell on the floor and went rolling around and landed on the railroad tracks. Yoko helplessly watched them. She couldn't help them.
David and Cindy are on the railroad tracks. She kicked David on his gut that launched him away from her. David got angry and started to do a knife combo on her. She was able to dodge the first two slashes but the she got hit by the third one and it hit the side of her body. She was stunned and David spun around and slashed her on her bust and launched her away.
Cindy felt something on her ass when she landed. David intended to kill her but…
"Wait!" Cindy told him. She reached for the item under her which is a Ventilation Tower Key.
"I found a key. Maybe we can use it to escape?" Cindy stood up and handed over the key to David. "Here. You keep it."
"No way! You just crap that outta you!"
"NO I DID NOT!" Cindy is so angry that it blew her top. She stood up and kicked David's crotch. David groaned in pain, touched his crotch and fell down to his knees.
"You want some more!" Cindy said.
"STOP IT!" Yoko said. Cindy looked at her gloomy face. "I don't want you guys to fight anymore. I don't want to die, nor do I want you guys to die. Please, stop this senseless fight."
Yoko looked down, thinking what to do next. "Cindy, may I borrow that key?"
Cindy gave the Ventilation Tower Key to Yoko. She goes to Kevin, who had just finished crying as he wipes the tears in his face.
"Kevin?" Yoko said.
"What?" Kevin asked.
"Do you still know any place we haven't explored?"
There was silence for a moment…until Kevin answered her. "There's a locked room in the Power Room. Why?"
"You think we can open it with this?" Yoko showed the key to him.
"Whatever," Kevin stood up. "Let's go." Kevin left the platform and Yoko followed him. They proceed to the Power Room while avoiding megabytes and zombies while David and Cindy stayed for a while.
"Hey. I'm sorry," Cindy apologized. She knelt down in front of David.
"Damn!" he cursed. He was still touching his crotch and a tear came out of his left eye due to the pain.
"C'mon. Stop crying," she comforted him. Cindy went near him and hugged him. David couldn't do anything. He just hugged her back. "C'mon. Kevin and Yoko are waiting for us."
David and Cindy stood up and she healed David and herself.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"I forgive you. I'm sorry, too."
David and Cindy proceed to the Power Room as fast as they could where Kevin and Yoko are waiting.
"What took you guys so long?" Kevin asked.
"Sorry. Me and David had to do some chit chat," Cindy apologized.
"Well, now that we're all here, let's see if this key works."
Kevin uses the Ventilation Tower Key. The survivors proceed to the ventilation while avoiding megabytes. At the ventilation tower…
"Here!" Kevin told them, pointing to the nearest ladder.
The survivors climb the nearest ladder and they made it at the top.
"Ok, now what do we do?" Kevin asked them.
Yoko goes near an object that has the same Emblem of Founders engraved on it. She sees a Model Train Wheel near it.
"I just put this here and I just turn it," she thought. She used the Model Train Wheel and a ladder nearby starts to descend. David saw the ladder.
"C'mon. Let's go," he told them.
The survivors climb the ladder and see a lonely road on their way.
"Wonder where it leads?" Cindy thought.
