A/N: It's been a little long since I've actually updated this fanfic and I already watched the movie a few weeks ago. Really great movie and all. ;)
I decided to make changes to the OC: John (No, not from SRMTHFG and not the real me, but a different.) (21 year old man who is a little ecstatic but a little insane and all.)
I'm also getting a few ideas on what to write next since it nearly took me the whole night to write out this chapter.
PM for more questions!
It has been quite some time since Babydoll had woken up from her dream, and had walked with the girls to rehearsal. It was the usual, impress Blue, Madame Gorski, and don't screw up. But that routine was about to change. She couldn't stop thinking about the boy in her dreams, and that made Babydoll drop a sweat from her eyebrow, by the way she thought of him. Rocket could sense what was going on with Babydoll, but had to stop herself so she wouldn't mess up her dance. Most of the girls and other bystanders were just watching normally, unaware of Babydoll's stage fright. Shit, if she was still unconfident, everybody would notice, but no, this happened to be the confident Babydoll. Her dance moves impressed every girl, especially Madame Gorski.
Ever since she got in the Lennox, met the girls, got them out with her efforts, became lobotomized, and rescued, she couldn't help but feel a balance between being herself and being different. But when she came back to the Lennox along with the girls who were brought back to life mysteriously, it wouldn't be lowly guarded, it would be highly. And boy, did that piss her off. It also pissed off Rocket, Sweet Pea, Blondie, and Amber, and they were about to escape. Babydoll just hated those thoughts. Just hated those moments except with being with her own little family.
She hated the priest, Blue, and guy who would dare cross her and Babydoll's friends. But she liked the Wise Man. He was one clever man. But now, knowing that the boy wouldn't leave her mind, Babydoll became frightened, and began shaking.
What's wrong with me? Babydoll thought to herself. Rocket, Sweet Pea, and everybody else is staring at me. I can't back out and end up getting my own family in trouble again. I just gotta focus. Focus, focus, focus, focus.
There was a song playing on the radio, and she remembered her first dance in front of the rehearsal room, told by Madame Gorski:
If you do not dance you have no purpose. And we don't keep things here that have no purpose.
You see, your fight for survival starts right now.
You don't want to be judged? You won't be.
You don't think you're strong enough? You are.
You are afraid. Don't be.
You have all the weapons you need.
Now fight!
Babydoll, being a little more triumphant, now shakes off the tension and begins to close her eyes to dance.
In another world, she finds herself standing in a calm and stormy world, but not of her own little worlds that she has traveled to.
This was Earth, and there were modernized cities. For damn sure, it was somewhere in the distant future away from 1960, and Babydoll began to stroll around, observing the scenery of this place. Everything didn't look clean, as if a world war were to take place. It was night time, and there were lights shining around. Nothing too smoky, but the assumptions can't be made too early, though.
Huh...there's something that doesn't seem right here...
Babydoll looked below while Sweet Pea followed behind her.
"You got your mind focused now?" Sweet Pea asked, checking her ammunition. Babydoll didn't reply, but she did nod reluctantly.
"Look, remember the mission - we clear the area around us, get the key, and get back to the base."
The two were ready to move, and they descended downstairs, right where a stadium was standing. At least what was left of it.
"You know, there's a little someone that you've been looking for." A voice called out.
The girls turned around, and there he was. It was the Wise Man, inside a mecha-suit. He looked satisfied, but calm. The suit was heavy, and so would the storm be, once the girls knew what they were doing.
"You all know the drill and my words of wisdom, but here are my other words of advice - Don't lose your way or you will run into deadly consequences. Don't let anything stop you."
The girls nodded and looked at one another. Babydoll seemed a little tense, but she would be able to continue through the mission. She had it all planned out - find a way through the generators, avoid the Hounds and raid the House. But there is only one problem - the Hounds can travel at fast speed, and are presumed to be carrying toxic bites, but that shouldn't be a problem for the girls.
Sweet Pea and Babydoll already had their swords and weapons, same with Rocket, Blondie, and Amber, who happened to climb inside her robot.
"All ready to go." Amber had told her friends, before the door closed on her automatically. The robot then flew off into the sky, beginning to vanish in obscurity for a side mission.
As the group ran down towards the tunnel streets, they knew they had to split up. Sweet Pea and Rocket, and Babydoll and Blondie.
They would have to go through various obstacles and Hounds - part soldier but part undead werewolves, some wearing armor, and a few just without.
Sweet Pea was already aiming her rifle straight ahead - one Hound was charging towards her, and she pulled the trigger, unloading on the monster. A pool of green blood spread on the floor, and the blonde kept advancing. Sweet Pea saw a few more hounds running towards her and Rocket, and she kept firing.
But all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a Hound jumped her from the side. She yelled, but Rocket turned around just in time to aim her gun at the brute and shoot it dead. They couldn't risk being overwhelmed and there was no way in hell that they would fail at this mission.
"Umph!" Sweet Pea grunted, grabbing her little sister's hand as Rocket quickly pulled her up and both went back to back, firing as much as possible.
More of those Hounds kept coming and coming. They were like Aliens from the Aliens movie - moving quickly and becoming even more deadlier. But every time any one of those Hounds would try to bite the two girls, they would either kick, punch, shoot, or at least do different moves to draw them away.
"Which way is the direction to the last generator?!" Rocket asked, reloading quickly.
"About 10 minutes up, if we can get past them!" Her sister replied, shooting at the creatures.
Babydoll had been confronted in a circle of Hounds - at least four, five, or six of them.
Listening to the beat and rhythm of the music, she pulled out her sword, and the Hounds were ready to attack her. One of them came a little closer, then, without being aware of Blondie tossing a tomahawk at one of the Hounds in the head, and then jumping backwards to pull off the tomahawk.
Now, at least two of the Hounds had charged towards Babydoll. She back flipped and using her sword to strike at the head of the creature, landed on the back of the Hound, then proceeded to move to her right side as the Hound bit her, missed, then was killed with a critical slash!
Blondie had used her rifle and aimed at two of the hounds that were about to grab a hold of Babydoll. Their claws were damn big, and sharp, too. Only one of the brutes were killed and one was maimed.
The dark haired Hound turned and growled, displaying his injury. And in a blink, he lunged towards Blondie, and grabbed her. She struggled to break free from the creature, but it wasn't so easy. With a look of horror on her face, Blondie thought she would be dead. But, without hesitation, she grabbed a pistol from the ground and aimed for the eye, quickly.
BANG! BANG!
And the Hound fell, finally deceased.
Babydoll ran in a circle, and finally a zigzag motion. There was a chunky Hound chasing after her, but the moment the girl pulled out her pistol and aimed for the head, the monster kept charging towards her despite being riddled with her bullets.
But if bullets couldn't kill it, then what would?
Then, all of a sudden, an idea surged in Babydoll's head. There was an electric fence close by her, and if she jumped at the right time, the fat brute would fry like an egg.
Panting and using a recent scratch as a motivator, she drew the Hound's attention to her. Chunk was ready to kill her. Babydoll finally turned, and with a back flip, the Hound lunged at her, and instead, grasped a hold of the fence, shocking him.
While soaring over the electrified wolf, she turned to Blondie, then reloaded her gun.
They both exchanged nods after looking at the map.
Time to regroup. Baby thought. Hopefully Sweet Pea and Rocket are already there...
Meanwhile, in a rocky ground near the generators, a boy, looking 18, but 21 was running. And he just kept panting. He wore a Strokes T-Shirt with a blue long sleeve shirt underneath with jeans and he couldn't stop running.
"What? Where the hell am I?" John asked, tiredly. "What is this place?"
He couldn't help but run even more - he didn't know why he was running, and damn, he wouldn't know what he was running for - or from.
John stopped and sat near one of the doors, which appeared to be locked. He kicked the door once, and nothing happened.
He stepped back, and charged, kicking the door again. Nothing.
I better regain my strength before I can try to get out of here...
As the 21 year old sat down, John couldn't stop thinking about where he was. Wait..he only remembered something - a party. A loud party that went on in the neighborhood with his friends and the soda he drank. All the soda.
Must be the energy kicking in...
But the more he was thinking, the more he was about to forget.
C'mon, kid! Use your damn brain...! What happened at my friend's party? I remember being exhausted and driving to pick him up from a disaster...then a picture that I tore just had a packet of dust flew into my face, then...
Sugar...
The caffeine...
Oh, God, it was the caffeine! The caffeine that overcame him! The soda that could've killed him like the Hounds! But, he didn't know what the Hounds looked like. Everything went too dark for him when he started running towards the generators.
Everything wasn't mapped out for him, but if only he could just relax for one moment and not get stressed over what was happening. He didn't know how he was affected by caffeine, but one thing was for sure - he was mysteriously drugged by caffeine, and he didn't know who it was that did it.
I better find this culprit, maybe it would make more sense to me..
But, all of a sudden -
Out came two Hounds - but they weren't the type that were soldiers, they were just nasty, and very violate. Small Hounds, and boy, they were the worst. More rapid and insane, like a bee and a shark.
John got up and ran, but jumped over the dogs and kept running.
"Ah!" John yelled frantically. "Oh! Oh! Good doggies, good doggies, good doggies!"
But they didn't act like pets. He kept running and running, attempting to find help. Looking sideways, side to side, the boy couldn't find any shelter and all he could do was run. But, there had to be a way to find someone - someone out there.
There already was a large wooden hut, but the inside of it had plenty of metal. John dashed straight inside, and without thinking, jumped to the top of the large, metal box.
The two tiny creatures kept growling at him, but they were already destroying the bottom of the box.
"Ey! Ey! Ey, ey, ey!" John yelled, standing on top of the box. The little Hound soldier, filled with rage, lunged at the boy, but he kicked it at the head, knocking it out. One creature down, one to go.
The last remaining Hound growled, as it froze into position, ready to attack its prey. But somehow, in that creature's eyes, it seemed to show a sign of fear.
"Ha ha!" John laughed, grabbing a metal pipe. He was shaking, but the bravery in his eyes wasn't going to die out, the boy was ready to run. He quickly got down from the box, and then ran. John did not stop running.
But all of a sudden, he saw a large sinkhole. John wondered if it could have been earthquakes that could have done this, but based on the condition, it wasn't just an earthquake. It looked like hell.
Huh...better investigate...
John walked towards the direction of the large sinkhole and observed it carefully. There was water, mud, and it looked like the trenches. But on the way down, there was a tunnel. Large enough to fit a speedboat that's going through a small hole.
Let's see if my phone is good enough to shine the way through..
He slowly descended, but just decided to slide down quickly. It was so slippery, the kid almost fell on his head, but instead, landed safely and smoothly on his behind. When his feet touched the water, it felt really cold. But that didn't matter. All he had to do was obtain a flashlight, and keep the pipe in his hands. Putting his hand through the water, he slowly dug his fingers onto something round - but it had a more rounder shaper at the top. Was it a lantern? A trick or treating bag?
Nope.
A flashlight!
John grabbed it out of the water, then pressed the button twice. The light flickered, and it was still working.
Now, preserving a flashlight and a pipe in his hands, John began to proceed into the dark, spooky tunnel.
Babydoll and Blondie were already out of their own path when they noticed a bright light flashing outside of the tunnel.
There was a dark, gloomy sky outside, looking like it was about to rain.
It was too dark, but a little bright, nonetheless. Damn tunnels.
Blondie looked out, aiming her rifle, and noticed the door with the two side by side fences. This was it, their checkpoint! Now, all they had to do was raid that house. But, where were the hounds?
Blondie looked back at Babydoll, nodding as she looked to her right, careful but alert.
Babydoll followed and looked to her left, aiming her rifle. There was something wrong, and she seemed to know a little more. Where were the Hounds they were supposed to be avoiding? Was this it? Was this an ambush?
"Wait, Blondie...!" Babydoll quietly cried out.
Blondie paused and looked around with her rifle. "What is it?"
"Something isn't right..." Baby bit her lip, then holstered her weapon for a moment. She looked closely as she walked a little further, then stopped. "Someone broke in here..." The two girls observed the wooden hut, then noticed a little Hound lying next to the knocked out puny hound.
Who would have made it to the house first...? Sweet Pea and Rocket couldn't have made it here already...
And she was right. Sweet Pea and Rocket could have been battling their way through, just like what they did in the trenches to retrieve the map.
"Baby?" Blondie asked, a little concerned, biting her lip and drawing her shotgun. "Something isn't right..."
Babydoll nodded, and she turned to Blondie. With her sword drawn out, she noticed footprints on the ground. Those were different.
It must have been one of those Hounds...but, who would kill their own kind?
"Amber? You there?" Babydoll spoke on her earpiece.
I'm here, Baby. Did you make it to the checkpoint? Amber spoke.
"Yes, but there seems to be a problem.."
What's the problem now, Baby?
"The Hounds that were here...what happened to them?"
Not so sure, but someone must have kicked one of them and proceeded to run into one of the tunnels.
Babydoll, her face a little straight, slowly turned into a fearful expression. She kept thinking about what was happening. Would that boy she kept talking about be here? Or was it all just an illusion, like that soldier in the trenches?
You still there? Baby?
"Hold on a second..."
Babydoll noticed more footprints head back to the tunnel they came out of, but it was different.
John was already feeling more shakier than ever, but he wasn't getting out. It was a pretty big risk to go inside these tunnels and look for help. Hopefully none of those hounds catch up to me..hopefully they don't...
While looking to the sides with his flashlight, he noticed nothing but smears of blood on the wall. Red and green. Somebody must have been down here before him and the girls. But, looking ahead, there was a bright white light on top ahead that lead to two different paths.
There was water on the side of him, but it would only be deep and it should be easy for him to get across.
He was about to walk to one of the paths ahead when all of a sudden, John stepped into what he didn't notice was a damaged floor that sent him falling in the water with a thud on his head.
"Ugh! Oh that hurt...!" John grunted, rubbing his head. Ergh...
He got up slowly, but couldn't find the flashlight.
Oh shit, I'm totally screwed...!
But in the distance, there was growling. Nearly the same growling he heard before, but way different.
He slowly turned and looked at the path with the bright light, and heard the roar that kept him trembling with fear and confusion. He was familiar with that voice, and he had heard it before.
And...
There it was.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!
John noticed where the roar came from, and it was more terrifying than ever.
The Alpha Hound - A large, 120 foot monster with only dark hair, 4 arms; 2 of which were tiny and the others being big, 2 big legs, but his inner body obtains superhuman strength. There was a collar on its neck, and the moment it laid its eyes directly on the damaged floor, it found him. It's face looked even more petrifying, and it looked like that monster from Cloverfield.
John noticed the monster staring right at him, and was ready to attack.
"Oh, God! NO!" The boy yelled, sprinting right out of the tunnel towards the direction he came in.
The Alpha was already on his heels, and with a slow, but steady, gruff, growl, he charged.
Outside the light was already beginning to flare despite the dark atmosphere outside. It was beginning to rain, but without a doubt, there would be lightning. This was already gloomy weather.
But it didn't matter. As John kept running, he was frantically screaming. "Oh, God! Oh shit! Oh shit, shit, shit!" Frightened, he kept hearing the loud footsteps of that Alpha and he just kept running, cursing under his breath.
The 21 year old made it out, but he had to find a way to get back up. John used the pipe to make a few holes, but that would be less helpful to get him to escape. He climbed up with the pipe, but he kept slipping and falling. He looked around quickly, and threw the pipe at the tunnel.
Finally, he saw a ladder, and it was mildly damaged. The boy ran to it quickly, and jumped to it, setting his foot on at least one bar or two. He slipped, but managed to get back up before he fell.
But it was too late. The Alpha came out, roaring, and with one quick backhand, it sent the kid screaming and flying over the hole and onto a car. His back was scratched and he was bruised.
Oh... John thought, now frightened on the inside. It's a bad dream... And it was more than a bad dream.
John yelled as the Alpha jumped towards him and shook the car, slamming his fists on the sides.
"Are you the boy that killed my minions?" The Alpha boomed threateningly.
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about!"
"ARE YOU THE BOY THAT THE KILLED MY MINIONS?"
"Yeah...?"
"Where are the other five girls that you joined up with? WHERE IS BABYDOLL?!"
The Alpha yelled really loudly, then began to swipe the car away as John jumped out, running. This was no Hulk or Abomination he was facing, and surely, this wasn't a Dog Soldier, either.
The other five girls...he didn't know who they were too.
As Sweet Pea and Rocket were about to meet up with Babydoll, both girls received feedback on their earpieces.
Sweet Pea, Rocket. I just got transmission from Babydoll - the Alpha is already set loose. Someone must have made it to the house first before we did. Amber explained. Babydoll and Blondie are fine, just meet up with them and watch your backs, I'm gonna try to make it past this storm!
"All right, Amber." Rocket replied, holding her pistol.
They were already out of the tunnels, and now all they had to do was meet up with Babydoll. But, they had to be careful for the Alpha Hound.
In the distance, there were sounds of objects being flipped over and smashed. The two sisters prepared their guns and aimed, anticipating for more Hounds to come. Rocket had her iron sights on and noticed the Alpha charging towards them, causing great destruction along the path.
Sweet Pea had her red dot sight on, and suddenly noticed a young man running from the Hound. It was John, but little did they know who he was, as it could be the same young man from the trenches. But it wasn't.
"Get back!" John yelled, running quickly. "Run!"
This quickly got Sweet Pea's attention as she was about to fire at the Hound instead of John, but her aiming was off - way off, and she couldn't get a clear shot.
"Kid! Get out of our way! You're gonna get shot!" Rocket shouted angrily, trying to get a good aim at the Alpha.
But the boy ignored her and dashed into Sweet Pea, tackling her like a football player in to the other car.
What the f...
Just as she was about to get up and shoot at the Alpha, Sweet Pea had already found herself on the other side of a damaged car with the boy. "Out of the way! What the hell is your problem, kid?!" Sweet Pea exclaimed, obviously pissed off. She shoved the man out of the way, but John couldn't help but grip on to her.
"Okay, look, there was a big monster right there and it just attacked me!" John spoke quickly but crazily. "Here he comes!" He saw the Alpha Male coming even closer. It already caused great devastation, but turned around instead and was about to enter the house Babydoll and Blondie raided.
There was gunfire that attracted the Alpha Male as he put his claws inside one of the windows.
"Babydoll! Blondie!" Rocket cried out.
"Kid, get your hands off of me! Now!" Sweet Pea kept shoving John as she grabbed her rifle. "Rocket! Are you okay?"
"I'm all right, just get his attention!"
Sweet Pea nodded and looked back at the kid. His pupils were obviously black, but there was a shade of blue in both of them. This was some type of effect of the drink he drank out of.
He sighed, but it sounded like more of a daydream sigh than an excruciating sigh. She ignored John and kept firing at the Alpha male. No time for listening to that stupid kid, just gotta...
But then, John had a better idea. He grabbed a hold of one of her grenades and decided to run closer to the Alpha. "Hey!"
Sweet Pea noticed and was just about to get that kid's ass handed to him, but with anger, focused on the Alpha and decided to follow him. "Rocket! I'm going after that Alpha and that kid!"
Ugh...that kid is going to get me and my sister killed! Hopefully Amber is on the way..! Sweet Pea thought.
"Ugh!" Blondie grunted, looking for more shotgun shells. She had nearly wasted all of her ammo unloading on the Alpha that wouldn't just back off. She didn't notice the collar due to the amount of smoke in the building. They both had to get out of there, and NOW.
"Babydoll?! How much longer?!" Blondie shouted, reloading her weapon.
"I got the key, but Amber is almost here!" Babydoll replied, gazing at her wound. The scratch from the Alpha must've been really damn bad. She attempted to stab the leader in the eye, but knowing that the Alpha was half the Dragon's size and as strong as the Samurai she faced in the past, this was a hell of challenge to face. She placed the key inside of the handle of the sword.
However, she noticed a group of locks on the Alpha's collar. This creature had a weakness, and there had to be a weakness for every superhero and super villain.
"Blondie! I'm going to run after the Alpha and distract him! Try shooting at the locks of his collar! It should weaken him!"
Babydoll struggled, using her sword to stand up as the wound was bloody and major. But, that didn't stop her from being ready to retaliate.
The Alpha focused his attention to Babydoll, and with a quarter of his strength, lifted the top out, and his tiny arms were ready to grab a hold of one of the girls. Blondie had already drew her tomahawk and threw it in the heart of the beast that caught the weapon. He growled and was about to scratch Blondie when all of a sudden, Babydoll, hovering above the beast's left hand, flipped to the side and cut the little arm below the beast's. His puny arm fell off, and he howled in pain and anger. Blondie, clicking her tongue and aiming her gun at the locks, shot one, then two, then the last one off.
The collar nearly came off when the brute grabbed Babydoll in midair and looked at her straight in the eye. His eyes were lusting with fury, ready to kill her.
Babydoll got her legs out of his right hand when there was an explosion that went off below. The Alpha was down. Babydoll landed on her legs, and felt a little grazed until she saw John running through the smoke.
"Come on! I got you!" John shouted, jumping through the smoke and putting his arms around Babydoll. He lifted her up and began to carry her.
Time to play fireman, you crazy bastard... John thought to himself as he moved through the fire.
Blondie soon followed behind him, and was a little surprised by the kid's actions. He didn't look act like a kid, but looked like one. John just showed out of the blue and rescued Babydoll and waited for Amber who was inside of the robot to arrive and pulverize that wolf.
Amber came out, and stepped on to the rocky ground and noticed John dragging out Babydoll.
The girls were at a loss for words as he placed Babydoll smoothly on the ground, including her sword.
The key fell out, and the man took it, then held it out to one of them.
"Uh...sorry about your friend..." John told them, now calm and ready to help.
"Hey, are you crazy? You almost got me and my sisters-" Sweet Pea began, but noticed the boy had disappeared. Where did he go now?
Babydoll woke up and noticed the key was on her hand, and looked to her sisters that were speechless more than ever.
As the song was over, Babydoll snapped back to reality. She looked around and noticed everything was normal - Blue was there, so was Gorski, Rocket, Sweet Pea, Blondie, a few other bystanders, and doctors.
They were cheering and an uproar of applause had broken out in the rehearsal room. Damn, they were all impressed. Big, bright smiles came from Rocket and Gorski, who were surprised at her new dance techniques.
But all of a sudden, with Babydoll smiling a little, dashed out of the room.
"What the...? Babydoll?" Rocket asked, worriedly. Knowing that her sister had been affected by something, came after her.
