A/N: I don't own anything from red vs blue or Silent Hill.
Silent Gulch chapter 18
Church leaned against the wall as he watched the pyramid head. He had taken cover among a group of old broken up mannequins that gave him a good view of where the target was but wouldn't leave him sitting out in the open. There was a crash behind him and he turned to see a mannequin rocking back and forward. Church grabbed it to try to stop the sound so that he wouldn't be given away. He released the mannequin as soon as he had it steady. It hadn't been plastic like he had expected but rather it was warm and fleshy. He took a deep breath trying to calm himself as he moved back to the wall leaning against it. He glanced over and jumped as he found that the mannequins were closer then they had been before. He hadn't even heard them move, or understood how they moved. He leaned back against the wall rubbing at his temples to try to relive the pain that was building. A rumble reverberated in Church's head and he almost wanted to shout at the source but he knew what the source was. He moved a bit closer trying his hardest to avoid the mannequins but still see. The pyramid head stood at the base of a spiral stair case. From the noises it was making it was upset about something and was talking to someone or something.
"No se preocupe. No importa lo que vamos a tener el jabalí." The other voice said easily giving away that it was Lopez. There was a rumble as the pyramid head said something "Siempre y cuando esté dispuesto a salir de aquí."
Church had no idea what they were talking about but for now it didn't really matter to him. Nether one of them could answer his questions in a language that he could understand so he saw no point to care about what ether of them did. Both the pyramid head and Lopez moved away from the stairs off toward some unheard call. "Alright, let's go." Church said moving toward the stairs and climbing up, Alessa close on his heels.
~Others~
"Well now what? The windows are a no go." Sarge said looking up at the broken stain glass window where a bat monster was still trying to stick its nose through.
"We'd have to get someone to lift up the tile from the outside." Tex said. "If we could contact Church he could do it."
"There is no way he would help us. He'd rather we starved up here." Tucker pointed out.
"Alright, well I'm sure he'd let me out. Considering you all say there are monsters here he'd need some protection." Tex corrected.
"Oh come on, even that's not going to happen." Tucker said. "He might even be working for the bad guys like Lopez and Sheila."
"Sheila is not a bad guy." Caboose defended.
"Well as I've seen Lopez and Sheila are doing work so I doubt that Church would be doing anything like that." Tex reasoned.
"Maybe he's dead." Sister spoke up.
"I like that option, another dead blue." Sarge said.
"He's already dead, he can't die again." Tucker pointed out.
"But I'm back in a normal body. Sheila said something about a god doing it." Tex pointed out. "Maybe Church is in a normal body as well."
"Well then he's dead and we can't do anything about it. Oh, and we're once again boned." Tucker said.
"I don't know, you're still alive." Tex pointed out. "If you can survive why wouldn't he?"
"Hey, I fought to survive. I killed a giant monster to be able to stay alive. If that mutated version of my kid hadn't kicked me down a hole I'd be fine. Besides, if he's not dead then why isn't he here? They brought all of us here and we're all alive. Why wouldn't they have brought Church here?"
"You fall down a lot of holes." Grif commented.
"Maybe Church escaped from the monster that was supposed to capture him and then he made his way to this world and fought a giant monster just like Tucker. Then they tried to capture him again but failed because he killed those monsters as well. Then they were going to just kill him but decided that it was better just to ignore him." Donut suggested.
"Do you try to come up with the dumbest ideas or do they just come naturally?" Tucker asked.
"I thought that it was a good theory. I especially liked the part where Church was awesome and admitted that I was his best friend." Caboose said.
"Grif what are you doing?" Simmons asked the orange soldier who was staring at the tile that Tex had used to come up through.
"I'm trying to lift the tile with my mind." Grif answered.
"Worst escape plan ever." Tucker stated.
"What makes you think that you can lift it with your mind?" Simmons asked on the verge of slapping the other red hoping he could knock the stupid out of him.
"Sarge said that I can use the force. That's what those blood tests were for." Grif answered.
"Grif, I said your count was high. What I was counting were blood parasites. You're full of them." Sarge informed the soldier.
"Well are the parasites dangerous?" Grif asked.
"Yes, they turn you into a bat." Sarge told him. He watched as the orange soldier freaked out trying to find a way to get the parasites out while screaming for Simmons to do science and save him. Sarge chuckled and turned to the blues. "It doesn't really. Just makes it incredibly painful to urinate."
"Can we get back to getting out of here?" Tucker asked.
"I thought we already decided that was pointless. We should be talking about who we're going to eat first." Sarge said. "I vote Caboose."
"I'm surprised you didn't vote for Grif to be first. I mean I know that you don't like us blues but you've always hated him more." Tucker said.
"Well I don't want to eat meat filled with parasites. No, we'll use him as firewood to cook Caboose's flesh over." Sarge explained.
"I like this plan." Caboose said happily.
"We're talking about killing and eating you. How can you like that plan?" Tucker asked. "Wait, I take back that question, I remembered who I was talking to."
"Um, guys." Donut said tugging on Sarge's shirt and pointing at the tile to the way out. The tile was being lifted up and slid aside.
"Maybe it's Lopez come to kill us all." Donut suggested.
"Maybe it's my pointy headed friend come to save us." Caboose said.
"Caboose, that guy sent those nurses after us and they tried to kill us. I don't think saving us is on his to do list." Sister pointed out.
"Nurses? Were they hot?" Tucker asked.
"Except for their faces and that they were trying to kill us they were totally hot." Sister answered.
"Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be a nurse." Tucker said hopeful.
"I didn't like them. They had needles." Caboose commented.
"And when have you ever been lucky?" Grif asked. "Isn't your team the one that keeps getting possessed by AI, blown up, and impregnated?"
"Hey, without Church we're usually luckier, but he keeps coming back." Tucker replied.
The tile was set down making a noise loud enough to draw the attention of the soldiers. It slid to the side opening the hole enough for someone to come through. A single hand rose up covered in wet and dried blood. It moved to lay flat on the stone as a second hand came up to grab the opposite edge of the hole. The movements were slow and careful as they found grips on the stone as best they could. There was a grunt as whatever it was tried to pull itself up but the hand slipped a bit on the blood leaving streak marks across the tiles as the hands searched for better holds. There was a slightly girl scream from one of Donut and Simmons and the muttering of something along the line of 'weaklings' could be almost heard.
"Be careful daddy." The voice of a little girl called up. The hands moved forward as whatever it was moved its forearms onto the stone to lift itself up. Like the hands they were covered in blood with cuts along the arms. Some were still bleeding must most had healed up enough that in time they would close and hopefully not scar.
"What fresh hell is this?" Sarge asked backing away from the hole wanting to get away from whatever it was.
"One of you want to help me up?" church asked struggling to lift himself up into the room.
"Church, I knew you'd come find us." Caboose said pulling the cobalt soldier into the room. Caboose dropped the solder looking at the hand that had made contact with the other soldier. "Ew, what is this?"
"It's blood, just like most of this place." Church answered looking over at the others soldiers. They where all staring at him. "What?"
"You look like shit. What happened?" Tucker asked.
"That is way to long of a story. I'd rather not go through it all." Church said. "I'm only answering specific questions."
"Why are you covered in blood?" Grif asked.
"Because I fell into a pool of blood." Church answered. "Not an experience I would suggest to anyone."
"Why are you here? I find it hard to believe you're here to help us." Sarge said unsure of the blue's motives.
"I wasn't actually looking for you. I was looking for this nut job lady named Danena who sent a monster to attack me. I think she knows something and I want to know what it is. I'm trying to find her so she can tell me then I can kill her."
"Who was that other voice?" Donut asked.
"That was Alessa. She's a little girl that I met here that apparently lives here." Church answered.
"Why'd she call you 'daddy'?" Tex asked.
"I'm not exactly sure. She just started to call me dad for some reason. She doesn't have a father so it's not like I'm going to be really mean and tell her she can't call me that." Church said. "Unlike you I'm not totally emotionless."
"Have you seen my pointy headed friend? He is my new second best friend and I want him to be your new second best friend." Caboose said.
"You mean the freak with the pyramid head?" Caboose nodded and Church sighed. "First of all, yeah I met him. He just got finished beating the crap out of me. Second, he's not your friend. He and Lopez are working with the monsters, not friend activities."
"Sheila and Doc also seem to be helping the monsters." Tex informed him.
"Not a problem. I already don't trust Doc and I'll avoid areas Sheila can get into." Church said.
"How'd your clothes get all torn up?" Donut asked.
"I got attacked by a giant snake monster. Managed to kill it but it tore up my clothing a good bit, on and the monsters with the blades for limbs did a number on me." Church answered.
"Wait did you say big snake?" Simmons said.
"Bow chicka bow wow." Tucker cut in.
"Shut the hell up. Yeah, I fought and killed a really big snake." Church answered.
"Did it look anything like that did?" Simmons asked pointing to the destroyed snake statue.
Church moved over to the statue and looked over what was left and the rubble. "Yeah, a big snake with its lover jaw split like those aliens." He said picking up the bit of rubble that had been the snake's lower mandible fang. "Except this was much bigger, this fang alone was almost twice my height."
"Bull shit." Tucker cut in. "Now I know you're lying. Why can't you just tell the truth? I bet you just slipped and fell and that Alessa chick down there killed the snake."
Church just stared at the cyan soldier. "You know I honestly don't care what you think." He finally said. "I told you the truth. I'm mentally and physically exhausted and I'm in pain so I don't really care if you believe me or not. It won't change anything for me."
"Dude why are you trying to make yourself sound like a big shot?" Tucker said backing up as he realized that there was a little girl standing in front of him. "Who the hell are you demon spawn?"
"You're a big jerk. Daddy is telling the truth." She snapped at him. Church picked up the girl and moved toward the hole. "I hate you. I hate you the most." Alessa said over Church's shoulder still glaring at Tucker.
"Where are you going?" Tex asked.
"Like I said, you're not who I'm looking for. I'm going to find her, get the information I want, and kill her." Church answered before climbing down.
The solders stood in silence until finally Tex moved toward the hole. "Now where are you going?" Tucker asked.
"I'm going to follow Church. What better option is there?" She replied simply.
