Chapter 1: Administration block (part1)
The detective couple opened the metal door to the courtyard and the first thing they noticed was the military vans parked everywhere around it. Makoto didn't put down the camcorder as he kept recording everything he was seeing, he turned the camera toward his partner and saw her standing still, staring at the building.
"Kyoko? Is everything alright?" he asked, lowering the camera.
"I'm fine" she said, but the other detective noticed a hint of anguish in her voice, she took a deep breath, "Makoto, you remember when I said that I could hear Death's footsteps?"
"Yes? What about it?"
"In this building… Death is everywhere…" she continued, frowning intensively at the building in front of them, "I'd like you to stay here while I investigate, I don't want you to be hurt." she asked, extending her hand for the camcorder.
It was now his turn to frown deeply, he grabbed her extended hand, she raised an eyebrow before raising both in surprise when he pulled her in an one-arm hug.
"And why on earth should I let you go in a place where 'Death is everywhere' all by yourself?" he asked, and continued before she could answer, "We are a team Kyoko! There's no way I'm letting you go inside alone, what if you get hurt or worse?! I'm coming with you!" he looked at her surprised eyes, "We're going to get married, Kyoko! So you're not leaving me behind now." he smiled at her, both starting to blush a bit, "Let's go in there, find some proof that things are messed up and get out immediately if it's too dangerous, ok?"
"Fine…"
"I know that Murkoff is a big company and we might get in trouble after this, Togami promised he'll protect us and we'll get enough money with this case to buy a house! Our parents are nice enough to pay for the wedding, but I won't let them buy us a house. I-I want to start a family with you, Kyoko."
"Weird place to be romantic, don't you think?" she smirked, pink on her cheeks.
"Don't ruin the mood!" he laughed, also blushing as they approached their faces, locking their lips in a gentle but passionate kiss.
"Alright, enough with 'romantic Makoto', I need 'serious Makoto'" she smiled, getting out of the hug.
"Yeah, yeah, right. So, let's get in, find something incriminating and let's go."
Both nodded as they started approaching the main entrance but when they tried to open the door, they noticed that it was locked. They glanced at each other before searching for another way in. When Makoto noticed the gap on the metal gate leading to the left side of the courtyard, he called his partner to go through it. There was a little fountain and a scaffold but more importantly there was another door leading inside the building, but it was also locked.
"Look! Over the scaffold!" said Kyoko, pointing at something. Naegi looked up and zoomed with the camcorder, there was an open window. "We can go through there, all we need is to climb to it."
"Alright."
As they climbed and jumped over some gaps in the scaffold they got blocked by a plank of wood, they could jump over it by grabbing the edge but Naegi wasn't strong enough to lift himself up. So he helped Kyoko go up first and then she helped him. After some more climbing, they finally reached the window, they looked at each other again, determined they jumped in. But immediately after they set their feet in the room's floor, the lights went out.
"What the-?!" exclaimed the couple at the same time.
"It's too dark, I can't see anything…" said Kyoko, not moving from her spot.
"Wait… There, night vision activated. Take my hand, I'll lead the way." he said as he grasped her gloved hand and start walking toward the door at the corner of the room. Kyoko followed him slowly, keeping a hand lower in case she bump into something while walking. "Jesus… Everything's a mess… It looks like a tornado came by..." After some seconds they get out in the illuminated hallway and Makoto deactivate the night vision to save battery.
The hallway was blocked by large furniture in both ways and the door in front of them was smashed open, they got in, and they saw another door on the same wall ajar. As the couple approached the door, the television that was off suddenly turned on in a screech, showing nothing but static. Makoto jumped a bit but quickly recomposed himself as they continued their path.
In the hallway again, they noticed that a room was strangely barricaded. Naegi started sweating as he was having a very bad feeling. There was again furniture blocking the way, but there was a gap large enough for someone to squeeze through, the brunette went first. There was two open room, in one, batteries-
"Batteries~ When the power's gone and you can't go on~ Batteries!" sang Makoto while grabbing the battery and putting it in his pocket, under the astonished eyes of his fiancée.
"Did you just-?"
"Hehehe!" he giggled and they resumed their investigation.
In the room next door, there was a confidential document.
"'Confidential'?... NOT ANYMORE!" exclaimed Kyoko, grabbing the folder under the amused look of Makoto.
The file wasn't relevant to anything too important, just about a 'PROJECT WALRIDER'. Maybe it was more important than it sounded but with only one file, they won't get anywhere. They kept walking down the corridor to find a door ajar leading to the bathroom and another to some sort of cafeteria. But as soon they approached the bathroom, someone closed it from inside. The couple exchanged looks before the detective tried to open the door, only to find it locked.
"Weird…" she whispered as they both entered the cafeteria since the glass door at the end of the hallway was blocked by something on the other side.
Makoto saw a battery next to the sink, but when he approached he saw something he did not expect right next to the cylinder.
"Wowow what?!" he exclaimed, gaining the attention of the woman next to him. "Is that an intestine?" he zoomed in. "Yup. Ewww, what the hell?" he grimaced.
Kyoko couldn't suppress the smile that appeared on her face with proudness toward the brunette in front of her. If it was the Makoto from high-school, he might have fainted to the sight of gore. But since they worked together, he was getting more used to it, now able not to panic with the strange sight. She looked around the room to find the air vent open and blood dripping from the ceiling next to it. It was an odd place, also the table under the bloody spot was broken, but they could still use it to jump into the air vent.
She called out to her partner, telling him that they should get into the air duct to go deeper into the Asylum. Once again with the help of his lover, he got in the vent after her, but after two second of crawling inside it, someone dashed in the room they were in a few seconds ago, both investigators stood still, looking through a grid from the vent to see the strange patient looking around quickly and leaving the room as fast as he entered, locking the room from inside, forcing our heroes to keep going.
They noticed they were at the second floor once they jumped out of the vent. A glass wall separating them from the gap over the lobby. The upper hallway was blocked by debris, and the door behind them was locked. Both were now agreeing that something strange was really going on with all those blocked hallways. They approached the ajar door of the library. But when Makoto pushed the door open…
"AAAH!" he screeched as a headless corpse was swinging, suspended by its feet on the ceiling and illuminated by a lamp that the bulb died out a second later.
Kyoko jumped at his scream and just had a glimpse of the body before it fell down in the dark floor of the room.
They exchanged looks one more time before getting in the room, Makoto holding her hand to guide her in the darkness, they should have brought another camcorder.
"Oh my god…" whispered the male detective loud enough for her to hear him.
"What do you see?"
"Bodies, blood, burn marks, death. Everywhere… Heads lined up like bottles behind a bar, Dead Murkoff scientists hanging from the ceiling; their badges say 'Murkoff Advanced Research Systems'... Kyoko this place…" he continued as he walked through the corpses and bookshelves. "Oh what the-?" He exclaimed as he saw in the middle of a pile of bodies a man, dressed as a tactical cop pinned like a pig on a spit.
Kyoko could also see the man since he was in front of a clear window, the moonlight shining his silhouette. The couple approached the corpse and it suddenly started moving and coughing his last words, making the detectives jump surprised.
"They killed us… They got out… The Variants!" he coughed.
As the couple was paralyzed, the dying man continued before they could say anything.
"You can't fight them… You have to hide… Can unlock the main doors from Security Control." he said before giving his last breath and letting his head bend down, his body now lifeless.
The detective couple stood there for some seconds before the brunette started talking again.
"We got what we were looking for. Right?" he asked, trembling like a leaf, his camcorder still up and recording everything.
"Yes." she answered, her eyes still locked on the newly fresh body, she wasn't moving an inch.
"So we can't get the hell outta here?" he asked again.
"Yes… But would have been a good thing to hear him say that when we could still leave the same way we came." she said.
"Dammit. But seriously… How did Murkoff think they would make money off a building full of crazy people?" He cursed as he took her hand again to calm himself a little bit and they started moving toward the door behind them.
He asked her what a Variant could be, to which she responded that it must be the name they gave to the patients… As they got out of the library, Kyoko ducked down, forcing her fiancé to do the same in the process. She quickly whispered to him that there was someone on the other side of the balcony. They waited some seconds before hearing a door close.
Both stood up and kept walking, looking for a way to the first floor. Makoto noticed with a zoom through the glass that there were staircase leading down and upstairs at the other end of the balcony. They walked silently toward it but found other debris blocking the way, thankfully there was enough space between them to squeeze through it. This time Kyoko went first, followed by Makoto.
And when the brunette went two centimeters in…
They heard two words growled with a deep voice that will scare them for the rest of their lives. Each time they will hear these words, they will tense up, their face will blanch despite their heart pumping the blood in their body even faster. Each time they will hear these two simple words, their minds will bring them back to this nightmare.
"Little pigs!"
Before any of them could say anything, the brunette got the collar of his jacket grabbed by a giant hand and pulled out of the furniture, Kyoko turned her head to see what was going on and all she could see was an open giant bloody hand aiming for her collar through the gap, and it grabbed her too, and also pulled her out. The couple was now suspended in the air by two big hands holding them firmly. Their assailant turned them so they could face them.
Their eyes widen in terror at the sight of the man holding them up. The man's appearance walked a line between overweight and extremely muscular, the former showing in his bloated stretch mark littered stomach and the latter showing in his massively powerful arms and legs. He glared at the couple with white eyes, he was completely bald and has the flesh on his forehead and nose ripped off. He was topless and only dons a burlap pair of pants, brown combat boots, and had his wrists and ankles wrapped in chains, all gorily splattered in blood.
The couple started to struggle for their life, but the attacker was not okay with that as he brought them closer to him. Kyoko's eyes widen even more when she quickly understood what was going to happen, and before she could scream to her partner to prepare himself, they were thrown through the glass into the lobby below.
The fall lasted only a couple of seconds but time seemed to slow down as Makoto looked to his side toward his fiancée. He saw her surrounded by debris of glass. He extended his hand trying to grab her, she did the same. And before their fingertips could touch, they hit the floor.
Kyoko passed out immediately at the rough impact. Strangely, Makoto was on the verge to. He closed his eyes, unable to move due to the pain all over his body. He heard footsteps, he opened his eyes. A flashlight was beaming at him from no far away. He closed his eyes for some seconds, when he opened it again, there was another strange man, crouching between both detectives, analyzing them.
"...And who are you, then?" the man said before the brunette dozed off again.
When he opened his eyes once more, the man was now holding his camcorder in his hands.
"I… I see. Merciful God, you have sent me two apostles." he said with a mixture of joy and madness, Makoto could now see that this man was also bold, he couldn't tell the details of his face because of the blurriness of his sight but he saw that this clothes were very close to a religious man. "Guard your lives, my children, you have a calling."
The man put a hand on the ahoge man's chest, and before the detective could open his mouth, his consciousness gave up.
"Someone… get us out of this nightmare…" he thought.
But the nightmare has just begun.
To be continued...
In the next chapter of Survival at Mount Massive Asylum…
"We need a keycard to enter the Security Control Room."
"Ah! God dammit! That plant scared the shit outta me!"
"Are those… Variants?"
"No! Don't do it!"
"Walker will kill us all!"
"You were here, weren't you? Little pigs… I'll find all of you whores…"
