The Flesh Tunnel extended straight into the sewer system, so the Hunters didn't have much time to ask Matt some wanted questions. Within the sewers, prisoner rot and the few remaining Fleshcraft monsters stood in the Hunters' way. They charged into battle, Matt stayed behind and fired a spree of Fire-Fortress Blades at more distant foes. Matt killed a huge amount of rot with just one blast, which allowed the Hunters to continue forward.
They went through the corridor and came to a wide room after a short walk. Rot started to appear form all corners of the room and completely surrounded the group! Avenger:"I'm getting pretty sick of these freaks!" Matt:"You and me both!" With that, Matt fired a Scar Dragon at a group of rot. It traveled for 50 feet, killing all the rot it came into contact with, then dissipated. The others went to the four corners of the room and started to hack away at their undead foes. Eventually, the Hunters were able to push past their enemies. With in the room, the Hunters spotted an imbued teenager. Teenager:"The three corpses that Dr. Hadrian was working on are behind this iron gate. You must find a way to lower it before you can proceed."
The Hunters looked in the other direction and quickly discovered a large switch, used to open a sewer gate. The pressed the switch, but it didn't open the one they wanted. It opened another one that lead deeper into the sewer tunnel. So, the Hunters reluctantly proceeded down this tunnel, eventually they came to an iron door. Matt:"You guys go in there, I'll take care of these guys." Matt was referring to the flamethrower rot cops that appeared out of nowhere.
Therefore, the other Hunters entered the room. Inside they not only found an innocent man crouched in its center, but in a far corner they spotted the switch which they required! Without hesitation the Hunters activated the switch and heard a piercing click off in the distance. When they exited the room, they spotted three blood stains on the wall, and Matt crouched on the ground, waiting. Matt:"Want a ride? I can run at 400 mph, so I'll have us back there in just a few seconds." They accepted because they trusted him completely. And, after just eight seconds, Matt had ran the entire distance of the corridor and across the big room they were in before.
Matt stopped in front of three hospital beds. The beds had corpses on top of them. Matt:"Hold on. Do those look familiar to you at all?" Judge:"Kind of think of it, these bodies do look similar to the people in that painting in the Warden's study!" Martyr:"These must be vessels for souls! The Warden must've been trying to give the vile spirits from within the Hole vessels to come to." Defender:"Well, we can't allow that plan to come to fruition. We'll have to burn the bodies." Matt:"Hold on, I'll be right back." With that, Matt ran off and returned a few moments later, holding a rot cop's flamethrower. He placed it between the three bodies. Matt:"Fireworks, anyone?" Avenger shot the napalm tank, which exploded and ignited the three bodies, completely burning them to ashes!
With that task completed, the Hunters continued back towards the other end of the tunnel. They had to take out a sporadic number of prisoner rot and the occasional flamethrower cop, but other than that, no other enemies appeared in the tunnels. After a while, the Hunters finally reached latter. Above them the words "Machine Shop" were written on a hatch. Judge:"I guess the only way to go is back up. So, with that, the Hunters climbed up the latter, with Matt close behind.
No sooner had they reached the top of the latter, they were completely surrounded by rot, flamethrower cops, and Skitters once again returned. A Scar Dragon took out all the enemies directly in front of Matt, which cleared a path to let the Hunters spread out a little. Directly behind Matt, a Skitter dropped from the ceiling and exploded on him, sending him flying towards a group of rot! The Skitter had completed his mission, but it helped the Hunters in a way; Matt went flying and smashed a couple of rot into the ground. The wound that he received healed in a couple of seconds and Matt was back on his feet in no time at all.
After finishing off a few more Skitters and a trio of rot cops, the Hunters were able to press forward into the next room, after they obtained the key. In the next room, they came out on a slightly elevated ledge overseeing a mashpit of rot! Matt:"This is going to hurt them, a lot more than it's gonna hurt us!" With that, Matt fired his Fire-Fortress Blades. Each Blade pierced through a few rot and stuck an explosive container! This caused a chain reaction that unleashed a massive explosion! The explosion killed almost all the rot in the room and sent zombie guts flying all over the place! Matt:"WHOA! I didn't expect it to work nearly that well!"
The Hunters finished off the few remainders and continued onward. They came to a doorway with a busted wall next to it. On the other side of the hole, the Hunters saw four robotic piles of junk come to life! Matt:"Guys, stay here!" Matt extended his Adamantium Mace and Iron Spectre-ed his way into the room. He plowed through two of the robots and slashed a third straight down the middle. The fourth fired a large buzzsaw blade at Matt, but he blocked it with his Mace and cut the robot in two. Red flames shot out of the robots and the piles of junk deconstructed.
Judge:"It would seem that the same red ghost spirits that possess the red gargoyles were possessing those piles of junk as well." Martyr:"I knew you were fast, but that was fast for even you! How did you do it?" Matt:"A new power I received lets me move at the speed of light for about nine yards. With my Mace extended, I was able to cut down three of them before they even knew what hit 'em. Now, come on. We've got to press onward or we'll never close that confounded hole!" The other Hunters nodded and followed Matt through a small doorway leading into Death Row.
Once the quintet of heroes passed through the doorway, they came into a virtually empty room. All that stood in their way were five rot cops armed with only pistols. These cops were killed almost effortlessly. There were no other exits except for a corridor lined with cell doors. Matt:"I can only guess what we'll find in there." But, they pressed on regardless. Soon, the entire corridor was filled to the rim with rot! Matt wasn't in the mood to deal with this army of the undead, so he released a Scar Dragon that flowed down the entire corridor. Just about every single enemy was disintegrated before the blast dissipated at the end of the hall. The few that remained were annihilated by a holy Word of Power blast.
After that horrible corridor was surpassed, the Hunters came out in a room that was situated like a library. A teenage couple was crouched in the corner of the room. Matt:"Wait. This is too easy. Alright, come on out, you hussies!" Suddenly, three vampresses appeared out of thin air and attacked! One got the jump on Avenger and sent him flying across the room with a forceful blow. However, that one was instantly impaled by Judge's Crusader Sword. With another horizontal hack, Judge decapitated the devilish woman. A second died with equal ease; Martyr and Defender were tag-teaming it. As for the third, it was facing off against the Hunters' dragonic ally. Matt blocked a few attacked from the vampress, then fired a spree of Fire-Fortress Blades. The Blades themselves didn't kill the evil woman, but Matt's next punch did; the Blades had cut the woman so finely that she was still alive! When Matt punched her, the piece above the cut flew off and both parts disintegrated into dust.
After they helped Avenger to his feet and freed the innocents, the group looked around he room for an exit. However, they were unable to find a doorway! Matt:"Wait! I can sense Life Force on the other side of this wall, but how do we get through?" With a hopeless sounding sigh, Avenger leaned up against a book case. Suddenly, that bookcase moved aside, revealing a hidden room! Martyr:"When in doubt, lean and pout!" The group laughed and entered the hidden room and were immediately jumped by three more vampresses! Matt Iron Spectre-ed his way past one and killed it by decapitation before it could react. Avenger eliminated the other two by casting Smite.
Matt noticed another innocent man in the corner and freed him without hesitation. Defender:"So, how did you know that those vampresses had hidden themselves in that other room?" Matt:"Well, when you have Demon DNA in you, you start to get a feel for what other demons feel like. Getting bit by that vampress sort of jump started my adaption process. I said before that I would adjust and be able to detect the rot before they got the jump on us, and that's precisely what happened." After this short explanation, the group continued onward into another room. When they entered, they looked up to see Carpenter sitting on top of an electric chair!
