Hellnight - Emulation Redefined
Chapter 2
The sewers
Me and Naomi just kept running non-stop away from the carnage, the monster. We eventually found a door, and just threw ourselves into it. Naomi suddenly found the lock, and jammed it just in time to hear banging
"Well this sucks major balls!" I cursed, slamming my hand into the machinery next to me. Something fell out.
"Hey, it's a compass, not bad going..." I said, thinking my luck had improved
"What are you doing!" Naomi yelled out to me "We need to escape!"
"Oh, right..." I replied, feeling rather silly. I grabbed a crowbar lying next to a small hatch, and placed it between the lock and the hook that opened the hatch. I then jumped onto the crowbar. The crowbar shot through the lock, and the hatch swung down, revealing a set of stairs
"Guess we gotta go down then..."
"Come on! If we hang around here any longer, it's going to go through that door!" Naomi shouted again. Nodding, we both walked down the stairs, and opened the door below. We were now in a large, underground area, that looked like a sewer. And smelt like one
"Man this place stinks!" I said, making a fake waft to try and get Naomi to giggle.
"Tell me about it...oh wait, my name's Naomi. I was going to see some friends, when...when..." She started to cry, tears streaming down her eyes
"Hey...Naomi...you need to stay strong. Right now, that...thing is above us, and you saw what happened to those people. Ok?" I grabbed her hand and squeezed it. She looked up at me
"Okay...what's your name?" She replied.
"My name's Joe, Im...a tourist in Tokyo"
"Bet you wished you had stayed at home..." Naomi said. We then started to make our way through the sewers
"Now, if I remember the Lets Play correctly, the monster jumps out at us in these sewers..." I remembered with horror. This was going to be, literally, one hell of a night. We reached the point where the monster was supposed to appear. That's when Naomi sudddenly squashed my hand
"Wait! WE GOT TO GO!!! IT'S RIGHT BEHIND US!!!" Naomi was now screaming and pointing, and I didn't need half a brain cell to tell me what had suddenly made the water we were in suddenly splash onto the back of my head.
"GO! NOW!!!" Me and Naomi took off at full speed, hearing the heavy breathing of the monster behind us. Luckily, when I decided to throw away all my knowledge of horror films and games, and looked behind me, the monster was further behind us than I thought, and we were getting away. That didn't stop me from still belting it through the sewers. Eventually, after we were SURE we'd lost it, we started to slow down
"Damn, I hate to think of how fast it is when it evolves..." I panted, out of breath
"Evolves?" Naomi asked me, a look of concern on her face. I suddenly realised, they didn't know that I knew the entire game. I almost gave the game away. I knew we had to go through, literally, hell and back to escape this nightmare.
"Oh...well, It looked pretty different from when I last saw it" I suddenly told her, thinking fast
"I suppose your right Joe" Naomi said, looking strangely calm
"She's calm? I'm panicking, I'm less fitter than the main character, but I suppose that the person playing is meant to be the main character though" I thought, carrying on
After around 15 minutes of sorting out problems with the sewer, which was a loose electrical cable, we both found the door which lead to what I knew, as the Mesh. One problem. The monster was around the corner, and we'd both seen him walking away from us. Luckily, Naomi didn't scream out in terror, and we had to think
"I'll distract him, you sneak on ahead Naomi" I told her. Maybe if I died, my soul would be shot out of the game, and i'd be back in my bedroom. No. That wouldn't work. I'd be just walking into an early grave, and I knew I couldn't stare down the monster, going full pelt at me, with those claws. No way
"I can't do that Joe...Look, I have an idea, maybe if we BOTH distract him, and we seperate, we can both overtake him!" She suggested. That sounded a little better, but who would be the unlucky victim?
"...why not? We're not gonna get past him any other way" I told her, grabbing a stone from the floor
"HEY MAUREEN!!!" I yelled out loud, throwing the stone. It simply bounced off his head and he just turned around and stood still. Then, without warning, he was off. Naomi was already running. I started to back off, but then, I tripped over the electricity cable that had been disabled. I was, in a word, screwed
"SHIIIIIT!!!" I yelled out loud. Literally, in the game, he had basically caught up to me, and was getting ready to swipe. That's when I acted, rolling backwards through the water, and swinging the cable at him. He became entangled, screeching as he swiped at the air. I then took off, running what I knew as a shortcut past him, and finding the door that lead to the Mesh. I slammed the door behind me. I was now in a room that had collapsed, with no way forward. However, there was a small hole in the rubble, that looked promising
"Naomi..." I realised that i'd lost her.
"Well, I gotta make the most of what I've got, and get through this. No matter what" I thought. I shimmied through, and landed hard on the floor on the opposite side. I was about to pull myself up when a hand suddenly appeared next to mine
"Welcome to The Mesh"
So...Hellnight has offically started! Where's Naomi? What happened to John? And who is the mysterious person that offered a hand?(Well, you'll know if you've played it through)
For now, I have exams so im going to try and break them, so a update may not be for a while, although, there may be one sooner than you think...
Teacher: YOU CANT BREAK THOSE EXAMS
Me: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!
So for now, have a good day, but don't have a hell night! (See what I did there?)
