A/N: Thank God, I got this done. This morning, there was a power outage for the whole town for the whole day! Why!? Some of us, can't survive without electricity. Luckily, I finished this in one hour. Also, I want to congratulate Shinigamilover2 for his success on Inside The Field. So, anyways, Richard had proclaimed the Noir Era, a time where the "liberators" will kill all sins of the world. What did he mean by that? Well, let's find out. R&R


Everyone watched the insect-like creatures crawling on the window. Their small fangs tries to bite through the glass, but it's not doing any good. Travis takes a fire axe that was on a wall as he prepares for anything the insect would throw at them.

"Dude, what the hell are you doing?" Sulley asked as he approached him.

"Look, I'm not gonna listen to some cop who's loco in the head and saying that these things are gonna bring an end of the world. It's time to nut up or shut up." Travis said bravely.

"Where do you think you're going?" Richard asked.

"As far away from here as possible. That's where." Travis said as he dashed to the counter and took a double-barreled shotgun and a box of shotgun shells from under it.

"Wait. Wait. Wait." Claws stopped Travis before he left. "Look, Travis, right? I don't know what the hell's going on, but, please, you gotta help us. Especially, my friend. He could probably die if he isn't given any proper medical attention. Please, you gotta help Mike." Claws pleaded. Travis was about to ignore him, but seeing how Claws deeply cares about his friend, he starting to second thoughts.

"Are you kidding me right now?" Travis asked as he sighed. "All right. Fine. Here." Travis gave the shotgun to Claws.

"Hold up. I'm coming along too. I need to get a sample of those things." Sam said.

"Listen, kid, I don't think that's such a good idea. Besides, you don't have a-" Travis was about to finish when Sam showed them a stun gun.

"Weapon? I actually I do have one as you can see." Sam said with a smile.

"All right. Let's go." Travis said as the three were about to leave the mini-mart.

"Wait." Amanda suddenly said as the four stopped.

"What?" Claws asked.

"Be careful, ok?"

"Sure thing." Claws said while cocking his shotgun as they all left. As soon as they got out, Travis started swinging his ax at some of the insects. Most of those swings missed, until he hit one, causing the insect to get sliced in half.

"How do you like that, freakazoid!?" Travis yelled as he continued to swing some. He noticed Claws swatting his shotgun at some that are flying around him like it was a baseball bat.

"You know, Blue Fang, if you ain't gonna shoot and try to hit a home run, we could always switch!" Travis exclaimed as he kills another black insect.

"Nah. I know how to use a gun, I just suck at aiming!" Claws exclaimed as he proved his point by shooting at an insect, but missed.

"Wow, you're right." the tiger/fox hybrid said as they pressed on.

Few minutes later, after surviving a swarm of large black insects, they finally arrived at the pharmacy. The pharmacy is a two-storey concrete building with a sign on the door that said "Alchemilla Pharmacy" Some of the windows are cracked, shattered, or stained with blood. Someof the lighting in the place is flickering while others are off or on. They see carcasses of dead insects and monsters.

"This must be it, huh?" Sam asked while heavily breathing after running from the swarm of insects.

"Yep. Alchemilla Pharmacy." Travis said.

"I wonder where Eddy is.. He could've been lost in the fog. Or worst." Claws said worriedly as the three entered the building.

The halls are filled with a few corpses of dead pharmacist and customer monsters. They keep their guard up for whatever's gonna ambush them. Suddenly, they hear a loud beep. It's coming from a recorder connected to a phone on receptionist's desk.

"You have 1 message. Message will be automatic read." the computerized voice spoke as the loud beep followed.

"Hey, uhhhh, Leila, I'm heading out of town now. I'm just trying to get more supplies from Heatherfang since we're nearly fresh out. I mean, we have like one first aid kit left. Damn, this fog. I can barely see the road. So, anyways, I'm gonna call you back once I've- What the hell!? Aaaaahhhhhhh!" Suddenly, the yelling and crashing sounds abruptly stopped and was replaced by static. A loud beep ended the message.

"Damn, sounds like that guy went through the same thing we did." Claws said.

"You guys were in a car accident?" Sam asked.

"Yeah." Claws said as Travis opened a door to the second hallway and walked slowly with Claws and Sam following him. Suddenly, they heard something.

"What's that?" Sam asked. They stop to find out where the sound is coming from.

Claws thinks the sound is coming from the closet next to them as he opens it.

"Woah!" Claws jumped back a little when he opened the closet.

"What?" Travis asked.

"Look." Claws said as he pointed at what's inside the closet. It was a corpse of a teenage girl who was holding a revolver, a phone, and a hand-held radio. It sounds like someone's broadcasting through the radio, but it's difficult to be heard due to the static.

"Alchemilla Radio. You're listening to Alchemillia Radio. It's kinda quite tonight. If you wanna hear a tune, just call 555-881 and the number of the song you want from our weekly Top 10 list. Alchemilla. Healing not just with medicine, but with music."

"Looks like a suicide job." Claws said as Travis took the revolver and the radio.

"Here. It's a much better weapon." Travis said as he gave Sam the revolver. Suddenly, they heard a loud crash.

"What the hell was that!?" Sam asked.

"It sounds like it came from upstairs." Claws said.

"Hey, who's that?" Sam asked as he pointed at a figure in the hallways.


A/N: Well, Claws, Travis, and Sam got out of the mini-mart and are inside the pharmacy looking for a first aid for Mike before they leave. Oh, in case you were wondering, I got the name Alchemilla from Silent Hill series which is the name for the hosptial there. Alchemilla is sorta named after a flower or something that involved alchemy. I don't know? And the thing from the radio, that was from Silent Hill Shattered Memories with a few changes. So, anyways, read and review guys.
