Prison Block (part 2)

They jumped down the hole and landed on the floor, right next to the locked decontamination chamber, the blood under it pointing that they must go through there, so they have to unlock the doors to the chamber. There was one at the end of the hallway a wide open door where strange noises could be heard from inside the room. At the other end, behind a desk, was another door but already bashed down. They decided to go toward the bashed one, they jumped over the desk and entered the next room. They walked down the small hallway only to suddenly hear yellings:

"Just SHUT UP and let me think for a minute! Quiet! QUIET! AAAH!"

The couple looked at each other before running down the hallway only to find a crystal wall, behind it was a security desk… and behind that desk was a patient beating and punching an agent to death, the patient lifted a nightstick and bashed it down on the poor man, a splatter of blood splashed against the window. The agent, laid still on the floor… dead. The patient was breathing heavily before lifting his head up and staring at the duo, his eyes empty.

"He-He just killed him!" squeaked the brunette, still filming the scene in front of him.

"I saw that… but… there's a room behind this man. Maybe the switch to unlock the chamber is inside…"

They gulped and slowly got around toward the entrance of the room, thankfully the armed man didn't chased them or was hostile, he just stood still, staring at them.

"I'd like you to stay quiet…" he whispered.

Naegi nodded and slowly entered the room with Kirigiri behind but unfortunately, as he was about to search on the desk the man raised the nightstick and struck Naegi on the head, yelling at him to stay away. The brunette fell down and was quickly dragged away by his partner, leaving a trail of blood from his head wound. The detective told him that she'll go, she took the camcorder and cautiously entered the room once more but being careful to not get too close to the armed patient. She went inside the backroom but a few seconds later she came out with nothing more than a battery.

The duo decided to keep going down the hallway, they might find something. At the end of the hallway was a closed but not locked door with 'Security' printed on it. They guessed that it's where they must go, but as soon as they opened the door, another armed patient saw them and yelled before giving chase.

"Who…? You guys are some of those Murkoff's sons of bitches aren't you!? I want to show you something!" he yelled while running behind the two detectives.

Kirigiri quickly ran in the room where she found the battery but Naegi wasn't quick enough and told her to stay hidden while he'll find another way to escape the Variant behind. She was about to disagree but the yell of the Variant prevented her from doing so. Thankfully for her, the other patient, the quiet one wasn't moving and didn't cared of what was happening. But he did look more pissed than before.

Naegi kept running, looking over his shoulder only to find the Variant still behind. He jumped over the desk blocking the hallway with such agility it would make Asahina proud. He ran in the other room at the end and slammed the door. The room he got in was some sort of a small prison with only two cells. One was open and pitch dark, the other had someone in it. On the back wall was two lockers. But Naegi decided to go inside the cell, as he ran through the iron bar door, his 'neighbor' jumped against the bars and whispered something before going back to bed.

"They weren't experiments, they were rituals… a conjuring…"

Suddenly the doors got hit once, then twice and at the third time the door fell on the floor as the Variant that was pursuing the ahoge boy entered the room. Fortunately, he wasn't very smart as he went to one of the lockers and when finding that Naegi wasn't there, he gave up and left the room. He opened a previously locked door by some strange magic that Naegi couldn't understand as he himself tried to pry open the said door, and went downstairs, where the duo came from.

Naegi let out a sigh of relief and slowly got out of the room, he threw a last glance to the other patient in the cell… What did he mean by rituals? Conjuring? Naegi didn't believe in dark magic… What's going on here?

Kirigiri left the room she hid in. she wanted to go help Naegi but also knew that showing up while he's hiding might just make the whole scenario more troublesome. The best thing she could do now was to go back to the security room and unlock the decontamination chamber. She walked down the hallway, making sure that the patient asking for silence wasn't following her. He wasn't.

She entered the room, closed the door behind her and quickly found the big red button placed between two desk computers, right before a security window. She pressed it and the light behind the window came to life, showing the decontamination chamber. On the window was, written in blood, again, 'FOLLOW THE BLOOD'. The doors to the chamber unlocked themselves, it was the sign that told her to go find Naegi and resume their journey out of this damn place.

She approached the door out of the security room but suddenly she heard footsteps from behind, she quickly looked for a place to hide, she found two lockers at the back of the room. She hid in one of them.

The door got bashed down by the patient that asked for silence. It seems he lost patience and wanted more blood. He looked around the room and saw the lockers. He slowly walked toward them, he put his weapon down on the desk, and approached his hand toward the handle and opened it. He smirked when he saw the female detective's eyes widen in shock. He grabbed her collar to pull her out of the locker, he punched her cheek hard and threw her back. What he didn't expect was for her to quickly get back on her feet and scamper at full speed. He quickly grabbed his weapon and gave chase.

Kirigiri ran, holding her cheek with one hand. Once she got to the hallway she found Naegi going out of the room at the other end, she jumped over the desk that was blocking the way. When her fiancé saw her hurt he quickly asked what happened but she didn't answer as she pulled him into the unlocked contamination chamber, getting away from the crazy man that was chasing her.

After being sprayed by decontamination gas, they got to the new section of the Asylum. Blood was on the ground, guiding them through the hallway. When they approached a corner, they heard a voice they never wanted to hear again: one of the twins.

"We gave them a chance." the bold one said.

The couple turned their head to see them, still naked, in the middle of an illuminated hallway, right behind a locked gridded door. This time they were armed with machetes.

"That we did…" the other twin said, and they started their own little dialogue. Naegi and Kirigiri not wanting to talk to them.

"I'd say we were more than fair…"

"Paragons of patience."

"Job-like in the suppression of our desire…"

"But now."

"Now… now we indulge...their tongues and livers… mine."

"And for me.. The pretty woman's eyes…"

The twins started to grin hungrily and lick their lips at the duo. Unfortunately for the couple, the only way out was past them. But the door was locked, and the twins were right behind it. They were trapped. For some unknown reason they couldn't go back to the decontamination chamber and all rooms in this area were locked. They looked for a way out, under the stare of the naked twins. Kirigiri suddenly noticed that the window next to them was broken and open. She looked outside and saw that they were a few floor over the Prison block where they woke up an hour ago. She also saw that the window ledge was going all the way to another open window at the other side of the door, right behind the twins. It's their way to the other side.

"Makoto, I know a way to the other side." she said.

"Really how?"

She pointed at the window and he took a look, he quickly backed down when he understood.

"B-But, I'm not strong enough to lift my own weight to the other side!" he said, he knew that there wasn't any other way. But still…

"I know, that's why I will take us both to the other side." she said.

"Wh-What?"

"Get on my back and get a firm hold." she said, as she turned her back at him and ducked a bit.

"I-I… Alright…" He got in position, arms locked around her shoulders and legs on her waist, "Are you sure you can do it, Kyoko?" he asked, concerned and a bit scared. He knew there was no other way.

"I have to if we want to get out of here." she said, "Ready?" she asked whilst ignoring the twins, looking at them with amusement and hunger.

"Yeah." Naegi answered before Kirigiri jumped over the window and used her hands to grab the ledge. The ahoge man let out a shout of surprise and wiggled a bit.

"Don't move." she ordered and he obeyed.

The male detective did his best to not move an inch as Kirigiri started to slowly move to the right of the ledge, toward the other window. Surprisingly, she didn't had too much trouble, either Naegi was even lighter than she ever imagined, or she's very strong.

Without too much trouble, she reached the other window but stood there.

"Makoto, be ready to run."

"Yes."

And with a great show of strength she pulled herself and Naegi over the window, the moment both touched ground they were about to run, but the twins had vanished. They weren't there anymore.

"Wh-what? Where did they go?" asked Naegi.

"I don't know…"

They stood there in silence, the fact that they suddenly disappeared wasn't helping them. Where are they now? They must be preparing an ambush. Too many possibilities, and none of them were going to end well for our heroes. But eventually, they need to keep going. They turned around and followed the blood down the hallway, on their way, they found a broken decontamination chamber. Both doors were bashed so they could go through without any problem. But they just stayed focused on leaving the place, so they kept following the blood… that lead them to a locked door that needed a keycard. Next to the door was a sign, written on it was.

"SHOWERS"

"I already don't like the sound of that." said Naegi.

"Don't drop the soap." joked Kirigiri.

"Wh-Wha-? Oh my God, that was not funny" said the brunette a bit angry but was smiling a bit. She chuckled at the image.

They were trapped in an Asylum filled with crazy and murderous patients, their stress is tested, as was their mental health. So a little joke out of nowhere was very good to relax just for a second. Naegi thanked her for that, and they started to look for that keycard. There was an agent corpse in the darkness, but there wasn't a keycard on him, just a pair of batteries for Naegi who changed the one from the camcorder for the new ones.

They came back in front of the destroyed decontamination chamber and walked through it. They were now on a balcony of another Prison block. And down the illuminated prison courtyard… was the man they wish to never see again. The big guy, Chris Walker. And in his right hand he was lifting a screaming and pleading agent by the head. The poor man was about to scream again but Chris suddenly grabbed the fabric of his suit at the level of his torso and with a powerful pull, he ripped his body off his head, silencing the agent forever.

"We have to contain it…" Chris said out loud as he dropped the body and kept the head in his hand and walked away.

"He… He just ripped his body off the man's head!" exclaimed Naegi, trembling like a leaf as he imagined how it would feel to undergo such horrible execution.

The duo walked down the balcony to found the corpse of an agent with a keycard on his hands. Naegi took the card and they walked back to the shower door.

"But he said something about security protocol, containment. What if he isn't the problem here? What if he's trying to fix it?" whispered Kirigiri.

"I don't know… But whatever is the reason, we're on his target list. He'll kill us on sight." answered Naegi before taking her hand as he opened the shower door with the keycard.

The door lead them in another balcony, but this time for the showers as Naegi could see them downstairs with his night vision since the room was pitch black. He took a firm grip on Kirigiri's hand and guided her through the corridor. After some seconds of walking a narrow corridor with windows to the outside. He stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes widening at who was in front of him.

"One of the twins is in front of us… He's coming!" whispered the afraid detective.

"Where's the other one?" asked the lavender haired detective.

Naegi looked around and saw the other one behind the couple, they got ambushed and have no way out. That was until the female detective felt a airstream on her right, she looked at it and with the faint light of the moon she could distinguish the glass of the broken window, she quickly bent over to see if there was also a long window ledge for her to jump and go to the other side of the corridor. There was a ledge indeed but there was no time to see how far it went. She said to Naegi what to do: jump on her back once more, which he did immediately as he saw the window in front of her. And she jumped over and instantly started to move to the right, further down the corridor. They suddenly heard another of the twins conversation.

"My god, they vanished." said one of them.

"Vanished without a trace…" the other continued.

"I detect sarcasm."

"It was my intention…"

"They think we're assholes… or stupid"

"Let's pull them in and slice their belly open" proposed one the twins, hearing that made the two detective froze into place for some seconds before resuming their actions: Naegi staying still clinging on to Kirigiri's back while the latter keeps going right on the ledge.

"Wait… Just a moment…" after that last word, silence.

The female detective was now under another broken window and whispered to Naegi to be ready to run. And with another pull, they both got in the corridor and once more, the twins were gone.

"They are leaving.." said Naegi quietly as he saw with a zoom of his camcorder the arse of the hairy twin leaving the corridor in the direction the couple came in, "Let's keep going before they come back." he said as he took her hand to guide her again in the dark hallway.

Once outside they opened the door that exited them out of the shower, light welcomed them. Naegi turned off his night vision and they were once more following the blood on the floor. They came across another locked decontamination chamber, but thankfully for them the security room that unlocked it was right next door. They got in and approached the desk with the big red button that unlocked the doors for the chamber. Naegi pressed the button and the lights of the decontamination chamber turned on. But to their horror, someone entered the chamber… it was Chris Walker. And he turned toward the glass, staring right at their souls and lifted his fists up before bashing them against the glass, leaving gigantic cracks as the gas slipped through it.

The gas snapped an alarm inside the security room that locked all the doors for the couple to escape, they ran away from the window and tried to force the metal doors of the security room to open but without success. The big fucking guy lifted up his fists once more and smashed the window glass once more, the cracks getting larger. And with one last hit, the window was gone, Chris jumped over the desk and was ready to charge at the terrorized couple.

To be continued…

"LITTLE PIGS!"

"Up the vent! HURRY!"

"JESUS!"

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"You! You have to let us out of here!"

"...I need to tell you a secret…"

"I… I just saw something… Maybe it was a glitch in the camera… please just be a glitch."

Trapped, chased. Nothing new in Mount Massive.
Our heroes are face to face with Chris Walker, and he wants their heads.

Will they escape?
