Underground Laboratory B5
Elevator Lobby
7:15 PM
Cue Theme:
Resident Evil 2 OST – The Underground Laboratory
Freddy, Roxanne, and Monty were walking through the cold silent halls of B5, their footsteps reverberating on the metal and concrete floors.
B5 was still a mess from Vanny's prior attack, with bodies of Afton security soldiers everywhere. They had just spent some time investigating the other rooms and offices on the floor, stocking up on any supplies they can from dead staff and Afton soldiers. Roxanne was able to find a backpack to hold more stuff such as the documents she found in the data processing department. She would be holding on to the papers to give to the OAOS if they made it out of here.
She also put another handgun she found in a desk drawer, an H and K USP, into her backpack, that belonged to a researcher who was found dead in his office.
Roxanne right now was focused on anything to improve her and her friend's means of survival, but she felt naked without her Beretta M9A3 and her mission gear.
"I can't wait to get the hell out of here." Roxanne said as they walked down the hall.
"Well we might have a way." Freddy pointed to an elevator that was labeled as "train platform" elevator.
Roxanne tried swiping her card on the reader next to it, the doors to the elevator would not open.
"Damn it!" Roxanne said.
Freddy noticed the sign next to it "Will only open during a first class emergency."
"First class emergency? Huh. Perhaps if we set off the fire alarms, that might do the trick." Freddy said.
"I don't think that's the type of emergency they're talking about. When I was looking through those files I found, there was another document about a sterilization or self-destruct sequence that can be set in the event of a emergency that requires complete destruction of the laboratory. Such as a biological outbreak…." Roxanne said knowing that's what they were dealing with.
"We need to contain whatever it is that changed Vanny into that creature. And we need to escape. We need to set off the system somehow." Freddy said.
Cue Theme: London Bridge – JR's OST
The sounds of roars interrupted them as the infected staff from earlier starting making their way into the hallway in B5 through a stairwell leading to B4.
The trio got their weapons ready.
"The fun never stops does it?" Monty said.
"I'm afraid not." Freddy responded.
One of the monsters lunged for Freddy and he shot it several times with his SIG MCX. The creature was down, even though its giant eye was still pulsating.
Another monster, a mutated woman with a large clawed hand similar to Vanny, went to slash at Roxanne who dodged it and shot the creature in the side of the head several times with the Glock 19 before kicking it away from her.
Another mutated woman attempted to lunge at Monty, her large sharp teeth exposed as her whip like tongue thrashed around wildly. He grabbed the creature by the neck forcefully pushing her head into a wall, crushing it with his great robotic strength as it made contact with the wall.
More waves of creatures comprising of staff that didn't get to escape before lockdown and we're infected with EC-2021, made their way in.
"What is this a video game!?" Monty commented.
"Apparently, and we're in it." Roxanne responded.
"This is insanity." Freddy commented.
Roxanne was taking shots at a crowd of monsters in the corner of the room when she realized she ran out of ammunition in her SIG MCX and had no more magazines to put in it.
"Shit I'm out of ammo in the MCX!" Roxanne yelled before dropping her rifle and pulling out her Glock 19 as a last resort.
"I don't have many left ether!" Freddy said.
Just as the situation seemed dire, a loud thunderous roar reverberated in the hallway, and it wasn't any of the creatures.
"Oh great now what?" Monty said.
The creatures were still attacking them distracting them from the roar until one of the monsters was picked up by a yellow large withered animatronic robot and bitten into by sharp teeth and torn in half before being throw across the room in a gory mess.
"What the fuck is that!?" Roxanne shouted.
"Nightmare Chica…" Freddy responded.
Nightmare Chica, in it's HUD analyzed it's mission parameters being programmed by Eclipse miles away.
Primary Directive: Terminate experiments, remaining staff, OAOS agents, eliminate evidence.
Secondary Directive: Terminate remaining Glamrock Animatronics
TARGET SIGHTED: Glamrock Freddy, Roxanne Wolf, Montgomery Gator.
Switching priority to Secondary Directive.
ENGAGE.
"She sure looks pissed off." Monty commented.
The 8 foot tall Nightmare Chica started walking through the crowd of monsters bludgeoning them to death or crushing them by stepping on them to get to the glamrock trio.
"I promise Chica, I'll never make fun of chicken animatronics again." Monty said seeing the hulking robotic beast approach.
Another Nightmare animatronic then emerged from a hallway, joining in the slaughter of the mutants. Nightmare Bonnie.
"Great." Freddy said. He took aim and tried to shoot the Nightmare Chica that was coming for them but the bullets had little to no effect.
"Freddy let's run! Head for that room!" Roxanne said pointing at the room labeled "Weapons Storage Area – Authorized Personnel Only."
The trio had no choice but to run as a Nightmare Freddy and Nightmare Foxy entered the hallway.
They dived over a reception counter they had been using for cover, and ran for the room away from the crowd, Roxanne sliding the key card and the door opening. They dived inside the room as Freddy slammed the door shut behind them as the system locked it upon shutting.
TARGETS LOST
Returning to Primary Directive.
They could hear the Nightmare Animatronics slaughtering the creatures outside the door, but yet, the nightmare animatronics should have smashed the door down by now, but they haven't.
"These are the ones they were keeping at the JR's lab right?" Roxanne asked.
"Yeah. The one's we did not get to destroy before William had Vanny move them here." Freddy said.
"Freddy do you think when we're out of sight, they can't track us anymore and stop chasing? Is their software that primitive compared to ours?" Roxanne asked.
"That would make sense, given their age and when they we're originally built. William likely has not advanced their designs since. Also explains why they have not breached the door yet…..thank Faz." Freddy said.
They could hear more creatures screaming at the same time the nightmare animatronics roared.
The trio had to shut their audio sensors down every few moments, the screaming was getting to them, knowing these were once living people.
"What do we do?" Monty asked sitting on the floor his back up against a locker.
"I guess if the nightmare models are going to take care of the monsters on the other side of that door, we let them first. Then come up with a plan to sneak past them or destroy them." Freddy said.
"But first we need to restock." Roxanne interjected as she opened up a few lockers with weapons, new Afton Security Force tactical outfits and gear in mint condition. There was outfits for male operators and for a female operator. A Hawk MM-1 Grenade Launcher. It was an older model, but when Roxanne picked it up to examine it, she could tell it was still well maintained by someone. She learned all her weapons know how from Foxy.
"It looks like it can still fire, like new, for being decades old." Roxanne said with a grin.
She found more magazines for their SIG MCX's. And another SIG MCX should could take since dropping her MCX in the hallway.
"Okay, let's suit up." Roxanne said as the trio changed their outfits, undressing, then slipping into some Afton Security Force tactical gear. The trio had to make a hole in the pants of these outfits for their tails to go through, since these were tailored for human operators. They now had complete black colored tactical outfits with tactical pants, long sleeve shirts, boots, kneepads, shoulder pads, elbow pads, fingerless gloves. They did not wear the helmets.
"Ugh, not sure how I feel wearing a logo associated with Afton again. But it will do." Roxanne said.
And now had plenty of ammunition. Each of them now also had a Glock 19 in a thigh holster.
Roxanne saw a group of flash grenades in one of the weapons lockers, she gave a handful to Monty and Freddy grinning.
"Oh those nightmare animatronics won't see it coming." She said.
Roxanne put her backpack back on.
The sounds of meat being sliced and severed stopped along with screams. It was now just the nightmare animatronics making various growls as they roamed the halls outside the room.
"Okay sounds like the monsters won't be an issue anymore, which means we just need to focus on the nightmares. Here's the plan, we walk out there, and one by one, we stun one then I blow it up with this." Roxanne said pointing to the Hawk MM-1 Grenade Launcher that was strapped around her shoulder.
"It's better than no plan." Monty said.
"I trust in you Roxanne." Freddy said.
Cue Theme: Final Fantasy VII Remake OST – Infinity's End
"Okay, I'm going to open the door. So 1, 2, 3!" Roxanne said opening the door as they made it back into the hallway. There was gore and bits everywhere, the nightmares completely eviscerated the monsters.
The hallway was one big square shape so you could roam the entire floor through one hallway and come back around to the elevators at the beginning again. The nightmares were roaming the halls in a circular patrolling pattern.
Nightmare Foxy was walking down the hall and spotted Freddy.
"Damn it." Freddy said.
Nightmare Foxy roared loudly and then charged for Freddy. With Freddy now opening fire on the nightmare animatronic.
"Roxanne I'll distract it, you hit it when there's an opening!" Freddy said.
Nightmare Foxy attempted to swipe at Freddy with it's claws, but Freddy was able to dodge the 8 foot tall behemoth and shoot it from behind.
It turned around facing him, leaving it's back exposed to Roxanne.
"Roxanne destroy him now!" Freddy shouted as he backed up with the nightmare animatronic following him.
Roxanne nodded and then got her Grenade Launcher ready, loading a shell from her utility bag strapped to her hip. She took aim on Nightmare Foxy's back.
"Hit the deck!" Roxanne yelled as she pulled the trigger. The grenade shell went airborne at 791 feet per second, contacting Nightmare Foxy instantly blowing a hole in his back. The burning animatronic now turned it's attention on Roxanne and Monty. Monty opened fire on it, as Roxanne loaded another round into the grenade launcher.
She took aim again.
"Sorry. I like my Foxy better…." She said as she fired the next shell at it's torso. The Nightmare Foxy animatronic was blown apart in a hail of fire and smoke.
The section of hallway that Nightmare Foxy was once standing in, is now on fire, causing the sprinkler system to activate in that part of the hall.
The flames were put out as Nightmare Chica walked around the corner. Behind Freddy.
"Damn." Freddy said.
It picked him up with ease, despite Freddy's large build and weight.
It roared in his face.
"Do you think I'm really scared of you?" Freddy responded.
It went to put his head into it's mouth, he used his great strength to resist, keeping it's jaw's open.
"I will not be eaten today!" Freddy yelled as he started causing Nightmare Chica's jaw servos to wind and burn from his resistance. His own servos were getting tested, but his could tolerate more workloads.
Finally he got an advantage, he forced her jaw to snap open past the jaw hinge gears limit, leaving her mouth permanently open. He slipped from Nightmare Chica's grasp. Several errors started to display on her HUD from her jaw servos being damaged.
"Freddy move out of the way, I got this!" Roxanne said taking aim with the grenade launcher.
"No, I have this." Freddy said as he pulled a grenade out he found in the weapons storage earlier, pulling the pin on it and dropped it into Nightmare Chica's mouth.
"Have a fazerific day." Freddy said.
He ran away, as Nightmare Chica struggled to remove it.
"Duck!" Freddy shouted. The group took cover.
Nightmare Chica was blown into several metal parts in the hallway blowing off the glass on some of the doors near her.
The sprinklers were set off again.
The group got back up.
Nightmare Freddy appeared from the other end of the hallway roaring at the group.
"Roxanne get ready!" Freddy said as he charged the Nightmare Freddy tackling it.
Freddy was able to slam the beastly robot much larger than him into a wall damaging it.
It tried to claw at him as he dodged it's swing, taunting it.
"You see I'm the better model because I do not eat children, I suggest you try it sometime." Freddy quipped.
Freddy was able to dodge another swing from the robot.
He got it to expose his back to Roxanne.
"Roxanne now!" Freddy shouted.
"Freddy duck!" Roxanne said firing off a grenade shell at Nightmare Freddy's back.
Freddy hid behind a corner of the hallway.
The resulting explosion left a large hole in it's back exposing it's endoskeleton and circuitry.
Freddy got out from hiding.
It still tried to go after Freddy, determined to fulfill it's objective.
The robot limped as part of it's endoskeleton was exposed, it's clawed hand wildly swinging at Freddy.
Freddy backed up firing several bullets from his SIG MCX into the robot's circuitry.
He caused one of it's board's to catch on fire.
"Roxanne, finish it!" Freddy yelled as the wolf got another round loaded into the grenade launcher.
"Move out of the way!" Roxanne yelled firing a grenade shell into the hole in Nightmare Freddy's back. The nightmare animatronic was blown to burning pieces, setting off more fire sprinklers.
Freddy got back up from cover.
"There's just one more." Freddy said as he saw Nightmare Bonnie at the end of the hall staring him down.
"Bonnie." Freddy said.
Nightmare Bonnie roared at Freddy and then charged down the hall.
Freddy charged at him slamming him into a wall. Nightmare Bonnie tried to counter by swinging back at him.
Freddy dodged it and punched Nightmare Bonnie in the jaw, snapping it partly out of place.
He went to follow up with a kick before it grabbed his foot, and picked him up by it.
It tossed Freddy into a wall.
"Freddy!" Monty and Roxanne shouted.
Roxanne instinctively ran in to help Freddy.
Freddy was just getting back up, when Nightmare Bonnie was about to smash Freddy's head with an overhead hammer swing.
Roxanne pounced on Nightmare Bonnie, ferociously growling like a real wolf as she slashed at his face with her claws. The nightmare animatronic grabbed her and threw her at Freddy.
They both were on the ground a few feet away, Freddy had Roxanne in his arms.
"Are you okay?" Freddy asked.
"I will be." Roxanne told him.
Both got up determined to finish off Nightmare Bonnie, with Monty opening fire on Nightmare Bonnie to distract him.
Roxanne aimed her grenade launcher at Nightmare Bonnie.
"I am the best." She said as she fired off a grenade shell, blowing Nightmare Bonnie in half in a fiery explosion.
The Nightmare animatronics' legs were on fire walking for two more seconds before falling over.
Cue Theme: Resident Evil 2 OST – Leon with Claire
7:55 PM
The upper half of the body was squirting oil out from severed hydraulic lines and eventually shutdown as the LED's in it's eyes faded.
Freddy and Roxanne hugged in relief. Monty included.
The sprinklers kicked in again, but now they were starting to get wet. They promptly stepped into the weapons room again while the sequence finished diminishing all the flames.
"So Afton sent these things in to finish us off, if the monsters didn't. How nice of him." Monty asked.
"More like Eclipse cleaning up for himself." Roxanne said.
"We need to see if we can find the controls for the self-destruct system and escape. We need to be able to escape to the surface, but also we can't let this…virus escape into the population. We need to burn this place to the ground." Freddy said.
Suddenly they heard familiar voices down the hall.
"I heard their voices! This way!" A female voice shouted.
"Is that?" Roxanne asked as she opened up the door and stepped back into the hallway.
"Roxanne!" Mangle shouted.
"Mangle!" Roxanne shouted, both canine women ran for each other getting into a warm embrace.
"Your father and I thought we lost you and would never see you again. But….we didn't give up, because we knew you wouldn't." Mangle said wanting to tear up. Her tail was wagging.
"Of course not mama. Dad taught me to never give up, no matter how dire things seem. I knew I would see you again." Roxanne said. Her tail was wagging.
Vanessa caught up to them along with the other members of the OAOS.
"V!" Roxanne said.
"Roxy! Freddy!" Vanessa said as she hugged Roxanne and Freddy, the three of them hugging each other.
Monty was watching.
"Get in here big guy." Vanessa said, as the gator joined the group embrace.
Bonnie stepped forward.
"Bonnie." Freddy said.
"So you gonna just stand there, or are you gonna give your best bro a hug?" Bonnie said with a grin.
"Bring it in." Freddy said giving the rabbit a firm handshake they always do then hugging.
Chica then caught up to them with Funtime Foxy.
"…Chica…." Monty said not believing his eyes.
"Monty…." Chica ran up to him, diving on him. The gator took her into his big arms.
They kissed. She caressed his face.
"I thought I would never see you again. I thought about you every night I was in here." Monty said.
"Me too." Chica said softly.
Funtime Foxy looked on, their connection reminded him of what he and Lolbit had.
Monty noticed him along with Chica.
"Is that the fox that tired to hurt you…." Monty said getting angry. He put Chica down and then talked walking towards Funtime Foxy with his fist balled up.
"Wait, wait! I can explain!" Funtime Foxy said backing up.
Chica got in front of Monty shielding Funtime Foxy. Monty was taller than him.
"Monty. Back up. Please, let me explain." Chica said defensively.
"Explain? Chica, he tried to hurt you, he almost killed you. He's with Afton. Let me have him for what he did to you…." Monty said eager to tear the fox's head off.
"No! Stop!" Chica demanded.
"I….I don't get it." Monty said.
"Yes, you are right Monty. He did try to hurt me the night you were taken. I wanted to kill him too. So bad. But….I got to know him. He had a good heart, he was just hanging with the wrong people, and not by his own choice. He didn't want to hurt me that night, because if he didn't, Afton and Vanny would shut him down and kill anyone he cares about. Afton killed his girlfriend to make an example of that. I know he's still no angel, but he has a good heart, I've seen it. He is trying Monty. Give him a chance. For me, please." Chica pleaded.
The gator exhaled a simulated frustrated sounding breath.
"She's right Monty." Vanessa.
"Give him a chance man." Bonnie said.
"Fine. But I've got my eye on him. If he does anything funny to anyone, especially to you, I'll be shoving his head deeper into his chest cavity." Monty said.
"I….I promise…..Foxy will be a good boy." Funtime Foxy said nervously.
"You lucky Chica seems to care about you, or you'd already be needing some costly repairs." Monty said.
"Thank you Monty." Chica said, now getting out of the way.
She turned to Funtime Foxy.
"It's going to take a long time for him to trust you, but, I'll vouch for you. I promise." Chica said.
"Whatever I need to do to not piss him off, I will do it. I don't feel like getting my head smashed into my torso." Funtime Foxy responded.
"Okay everyone I'm all for reunions, but we will need to come up with a plan to leave this facility now that we have found you." Dawkin said.
"After we walked in, the entrance locked behind us. I tried to hack into the systems, but I can't breach it. They have some strong firewalls in place." Cove said.
"We saw another elevator that looks like a way out, but it's locked and we can't unlock it. However, it states that if an emergency, such as a biohazardous outbreak occurs, the self-destruct system can be activated and the elevator will unlock automatically. We need to destroy this facility, especially with what Eclipse did to Vanny and the infection she has spread." Freddy said.
"You ran into her too?" Vanessa asked.
"Yes, she appeared, less human so to speak." Freddy said.
"It's because of a virus." Roxanne added in.
"I had a feeling." Vanessa said.
"We destroyed her. She's gone." Fusion said.
"And the nightmare animatronics destroyed her creations." Monty said.
"So then we just need to focus on getting out of here and not letting this thing spread any further. We can't let a virus into society like that." Vanessa said.
Cue Theme: Dino Crisis OST – You Have Mail
"HAHAHA. Don't worry about destroying anything. I'll do it for you." A voice said on a PA system.
The glamrocks didn't recognize the voice, but Dawkin and his team did.
"Eclipse!" Dawkin shouted.
"Ahh…agent Dawkin…..I think the last time you and I met was at that warehouse a few days ago. How have you been since? My condolences to FBI agent Rockwell. I know you and him were friends, maybe he would still be alive if you and your team didn't get in my way. I'm sure his son is lost without a father…I do wonder how his wife is doing without him." Eclipse said.
Dawkin was doing all he can to stay calm after that statement. Fifi mouse put a hand on his shoulder.
"He's playing mind games. Don't let him get to you." Fifi said.
"None of that matters now. What are you and Afton planning? We know there's another facility. And we know you have Michael, Evan and Clara. Where are they in this facility?" Dawkin demanded.
Freddy was about to answer, but Eclipse beat him to it.
"Did you really think Afton would leave them here to die? Your answer was probably yes, and in most cases it would be. But he needs them. He can't live without them in his life. That….and we have many experiments to continue running on them….." Eclipse said.
Mangle growled and snarled bearing her fangs, her yellow eye lights glowing in response with Vanessa also getting angry.
"Don't you fucking touch them!" Vanessa shouted.
"I swear if you hurt my brother…." Elizabeth was starting to lose her cool as well.
"You'll what? I thought we took your powers remember? Besides where I have you all, you can't do shit." Eclipse said.
"What is your big plan for us? Vanny is dead, and the nightmare animatronics are destroyed. You have nothing else to send after us here. It's over. We're destroying this place anyway, and once we set the system off, it will unlock the way for us. Then….when we get out of here….I will personally come find where you and Afton are, and then see to it I pull your head out by your spine." Freddy said in anger.
"Well, well, I guess the child friendly bear robot, does have a spicy side after all. Fine, I'll throw you all a bone. I'll set the system off for you, I needed to tidy things up anyway. But….I do have one last trick up my sleeve. The way will open to escape, but you'll need to figure out how to get your escape means operational once your there, I will not help you with that and I doubt you'll figure it out….Also…..I wouldn't say Vanny is dead." Eclipse said.
"What? We splattered her into flaming chunks everywhere. It is not possible." Fusion said.
"You truly have underestimated my research then…." Eclipse said.
"I don't like the sound of that….what does he know that we don't….." Vanessa said.
"I am setting the system off now…this will be the last time we speak….it has been fun, but I have work to do now. Goodbye." Eclipse said.
Suddenly an automated pre-recorded voice replaced Eclipse's on the PA system.
Cue Theme: Resident Evil 2 OST – Escape From Laboratory
"The self-destruct sequence has been activated, repeat the self-destruct sequence has been activated, this sequence may not be aborted. All personnel proceed to the emergency car at the bottom platform." The voice reverberated through the corridors. It was playing on a loop, repeating in between blaring alarms.
"20 minutes until detonation." An additional warning blared.
Time Remaining – 20:00'00
Everyone's clocks synchronized once they got the warning, both glamrocks in their HUD's and humans on their stopwatch apps on their FazWatches and Apple Watches.
"He did it." Bonnie said.
"The elevator is now active!" Roxanne said looking at the light about the elevator light up.
The glamrocks and Vanessa got in first.
"Okay, only so much of us can fit at a time. We will send it back up for you." Freddy said.
"Got it." Dawkin said.
Current Time - 8:15 PM
Time Remaining – 19:58'75
Meanwhile…..
Vanny's eyes on her head opened, she noticed, she no longer felt the influence of the virus's instincts within her. Her head was attaching itself to another badly damaged female body with chunks of skin missing from prior mutations, that laid among the corpses. Tendrils from her neck managed to burn off the victims head with an acid like substance. Then proceeded to settle it's way into the neck cavity, fusing the skin at the cellular and chemical level.
Cue Theme: Resident Evil: Code Veronica X OST – Transformation Music
It seemed this body was a match in blood type to Vanny or else this process may have failed.
She didn't understand how but the virus was now a part of her. It was saving her not making her into a monster.
Suddenly she could walk in this new body, but healing was not done yet, as she burned up to the point the clothing needed to be removed, her skin on her donor body was now combusting on fire, steam emitting.
She was getting her wish, she will be beautiful.
After the flames died, she looked down at herself.
It was like she never mutated or got sick from the virus.
Her new body was identical to her old one, down to every detail and mark she ever had on her skin in her original body, the same exact body as Vanessa.
She walked into a staff locker room amid the blaring alarms and looked at herself in the mirror.
She still had the fleshy rabbit ears and red eyes, pale skin, but the rest of her features, were human again. Her tongue was now a normal human tongue and her teeth were pearly white human looking ones again, just like he had prior to infection. She looked at her soft deliquiate human hands, no bone claws or tentacles. She was back.
She grinned then sent her first through a locker with ease, the injuries healed from the metal tearing in, instantly.
She looked at her body in the mirror, she was naked, but she would find something to put on soon.
She needed to be decent to kill Vanessa.
