Chapter 8: Deep in the HEART of Texas

Suggested Listening: Thunder & Rain sounds for 10 hours... must have lots of thunder for maximum effect when reading this story.


In the wrathful wake of the Skibidi Toilet apocalypse, the once bustling metropolis of Houston lay in ruins, a haunting testament to the destructive forces that had swept through the large city with merciless abandon, the Skibidi Toilets had devoured everyone who stood in their way, What was once a vibrant hub of industry, commerce, parties and culture now stood as a desolate landscape of twisted metal, crumbling concrete, and festering hattered glass. The skyline which was once once dominated by towering skyscrapers which reached for the heavens and beyond, now resembled jagged teeth which jutted from the earth, broken and hollowed out by the cataclysmic events that had befallen the city. Streets that once thrummed with the pulse of life were still pulsing with life, but death as well... the sheer chaos was created by a mass crisis where people ran for their lives in order to escape the Skibidi Toilet Apocalypse and at this moment... all of the weak, unathletic, slow and elderly were purged... devoured and becoming tasty appetizers for the Skibidi Toilets, both small, medium and large...

Nobody knew what these toilet things were, the only thing that the general public did know was that they seemed eerily similar to the "Skibidi Toilet" video trend that swept the nation and the world... but that was all the way back in 2023/2024 and had long since been forgotten by the general public as the main group of watchers for "Skibidi Toilet" was Generation Alpha, a generation which started in 2010, even the youngest of Gen Alpha was now around thirty six years old and at most, had either grown out of the "Skibidi Toilet" craze or at least cared enough about it to think of the series as nostalgic at one point... but from the generations before Gen Alpha, it had long since been forgotten and lost to the passages of time.

So why did these mysterious toilet fiends return from irrelevance? When did these toilet monsters with human faces become real things... WHAT caused these weird toilet monsters to appear and begin destroying and devouring humanity and why in such massive swarms?


Ruiko Saten and Kazari Uiharu were stuck in the middle of the chaos which came from the panicked crowds of Houston, Texas... with people scrambling for shelter and protection from the Skibidi Toilets and anarchists alike, they held hands to make sure they couldn't get lost in the chaos that enveloped around them.

they were in the midst of the chaos unfolding in Houston, Texas, surrounded by panicked crowds seeking refuge from both the Skibidi Toilets and anarchists who began firing relentlessly upon those who were seen as easy targets... like lions who targeted the separated calves from the raging stampede... except in this case, being in the stampede was just as dangerous as both Ruiko and Uiharu risked being stampeded or trampled to death by scared humans.

As Agent K said it best, "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals..."

Ruiko Saten and Kazari Uiharu clung to each other's hands tightly, they were determined not to lose one another in the tumult that swirled around them and threatened to consume them entirely... Ruiko mustered her strength as she charged through blocks of people, she yelled.

"Uiharu...! are you with me...!"

Uiharu lets out a loud yell of her own, she generally wasn't the type to yell at the top of her lungs but...

"YES RUIKO, I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU!"

As they navigated through the throngs of people, their hearts raced with fear and uncertainty... threatening to leap out of their chests or perhaps explode, their hearts must've been beating at over 300 Beats per Minute... The streets were filled with panicked shouts, bloodcurdling screams, and the sounds of destruction as the chaos threatened to consume everything in its path...

But loudest of them all was the cacaphony, a loud cacaphony of both gunshots and the endless sounds of the Skibidi Toilets which run amok across Houston, eager to consume the panicking people.

Despite the danger and uncertainty, Ruiko and Kazari drew strength from each other's presence. They knew they had to stay together, relying on their bond to navigate through the turmoil safely... just kidding, they were fucking scared like a normal person would.

With their hands clasped tightly and their faces painted with the utmost fear, the two of them begin looking for an escape from this oppressive hell... but there is no escape as the Skibidi-pocalypse is omniscient across the United States and the Earth... but at the very least, they searched for an escape from Houston... they hoped to find greener grasses, to find a place where there was less chaos than normal and the quick eyes of Saten soon finds a place to hide, the subway tunnels where surprisingly... no people seemed to be in the tubes because of Deus Ex Machina and Plot Armor COMBINED.

"Quick, follow me Ui~ha~ru...!" Ruiko spoke as she violently jerked Uiharu towards the subway station, Uiharu lets out a small and barely audible yelp of pain as her arm is extended from the tug from Ruiko who drags ass towards the metro.

They charge down the stairs, surprisingly... none of the Anarchists spotted them going down the staircases and as already stated, Skibidi Toilets have lots of difficulty with staircases... and the new Houston Metro system was very deep... both Ruiko and Uiharu let go of their hand grasp and begin rushing down the staircases with elfin fervor, they took fast and concise steps down the staircase which ultimately descended down to the subway station, stopping to catch their breath... they observe the massive and empty subway station, only the rats and garbage seemed to be in this large subway station.

Ruiko Saten and Kazari Uiharu found themselves standing at the entrance of the massive and eerily empty subway station in Houston, Texas... the station had once been new and opened as a result of the once booming population and economy of Houston, the usual hustle and bustle of commuters rushing to catch trains was replaced by an unsettling silence broken only by the occasional scurrying of rats and the rustling of garbage strewn across the platform... bottles of Brawndo, opened cheetos, condoms and steamed buns were strewn across the floor... what a horribly depressing sight.

The dimly lit station was bathed in an otherworldly glow from the dirty, cochroach infested lights... the flickering lights casting long shadows that danced across the grimy walls and the air hung heavy with the musty scent of decaying cheetos, pizzas and fine particle dust which irritated Uiharu's nose.

"Achooo~!"

Uiharu sniffled as her nose was slightly runny from the fine particle dust, pollen and other irritants which entered her nose... Saten pulled out a napkin which she had brought from the Rainforests Cafe back at the mall... Saten felt saddened at the current state of events and this small, ragged and sauce-covered napkin only reminded her of the sorry state of affairs and how today was once supposed to be a happy and cheerful day...

"Here... take this napkin, I know its covered in the sauce but I hope it helps you" Saten responded, passing the napkin to Uiharu who begins to wipe and blow her nose, getting some boogers onto it.

"Thanks... Ruiko, you're my best friend."

Uiharu spoke meekly as she looked at the empty train station, The empty train station seemed to amplify the somber mood that had settled between the two friends. Saten glanced around, taking in the desolation of the usually bustling platform where millions once traveled throughout Houston, Texas.

As they stepped further into the dark subway station, their footsteps echoed hollowly against the tiled floors, the sound reverberating through the empty space in an echo, they could still hear the thunderous sounds of the pouring rain outside which served as the only other sound beyond their footsteps.

Ruiko Saten took one look at the walls which had posters of various upcoming movies such as Frozen 10, Toy Story 7 which involved the children of Woody, (don't ask how me how he had kids with Bo Peep), modern classics such as Morbius 2, Black Adam 2 and even Madame Web 2!

There were rows upon rows of vacant benches lined the platform, the benches were very clean and recent newspapers and discarded food wrappers littered the ground, creating a chaotic mosaic of urban detritus... it was as if everyone who was once here had suddenly left the metro and abandoned it all at once... it was like something out of chernobyl...

Above them, the skeletal framework of the station's ceiling loomed ominously above their heads, its metal beams creaking and groaning under the weight of the explosions that were taking place above the two friends, it wouldn't be long before these metallic beams collapsed and crushed them like a soda can being crushed by a dump truck...

Dust lazily falls down from some of the grates above them, the explosions were eerily quiet because they were taking place far away from the two girls, but the sheer amount of fine particles they displaced would even make their way into the subway, physics are crazy like that...

As the dust settled around them, Saten and Uiharu exchanged a nervous glance, their hearts pounding in their chests as the ominous creaking of the metal beams above only added to their anxiety, reminding them of the imminent danger lurking overhead and how they could quickly be killed by falling ceiling, like some shit out of Final Destination.

The tunnels of the subway were much more reinforced than the station itself, so Ruiko Saten and Uiharu Kazari descend down onto the tracks, Uiharu figured that there were no trains traveling at this time so there was no risk of them being ran over and utterly pulverized by the metro.

The dark and eerie tunnels of the subway were harrowing and it was nearly impossible for Uiharu and Ruiko to see from, the small lights on the side of the walls could only do so much beyond illuminating lots of different types of graffiti which looked rather old, some of it seemed to be fading out as they hadn't been repainted in years, especially after the Graffiti Act of 2050, an act that was created to punish and remove graffiti artists for some reason... it was yet another foolishly random and ultimately useless act that served no purpose and was implemented by that motherfucker, Gertrude McDustfart who passed the law despite being braindead legally and technically dead... the masses still voted her into congress despite this fact.

Ignoring the vulgar graffiti which was written on the walls, Saten spots light at the end of the tunnel... she eagerly points at the light as she thought that they have finally escaped from the hellish clutches of the Skibidi Toilets.

"Ha.. look Ui~Ha~Ru, it's the light at the end of the tunnel...! we've finally escaped those Skibidi Fuckers, we've finally escaped those Skibidi Toilet motherfuckers!" Ruiko Saten spoke with an excited look of glee on her face as she thought that finally, they had escaped from Houston, Texas and had been delivered to the promised land... to greener pastures which weren't filled with Skibidi Toilets waiting to kill them at every turn.

"Uhm... Ruiko, I don't think that's the end of the tunnel... you fucking idiot..."

Ruiko looked at Uiharu with a dumbfounded expression, "It's not... then what the fuck could it be... the train because that doesn't track, get it?"

Uiharu was not amused.

"this is not the time for jokes, what the fuck is that light... answer me!" Uiharu yelled back, she did not take kindly to Ruiko's shitty pun, she was being serious here.

"I-I don't know what the fuck that light is supposed to be... if it's not the end of the tunnel, then what the fuck could it be?"

It wasn't long for their questions about the shiny white light to be answered... because it came at them very fast.

The loud and thunderous sounds of magazine clips being emptied upon them dominated the scenery and seemingly on the self-preservation instinct, they both ran for their lives and hid behind a crumbled iron beam from the Subway Station, the large red beam was their saving grace from the sheer barrage of bullets which were rained upon the two girls with the sole purpose of killing them...

Heart pounding with fear, Saten and Uiharu ducked behind the crumbled iron beam, seeking refuge from the barrage of bullets raining down upon them. The deafening roar of gunfire filled the air, drowning out any other sounds as they huddled together, desperately clinging to the hope of survival as the constant barrage of bullets are striking the iron beam.

Bullets whizzed past, tearing through the air with deadly precision, sending sparks flying as they struck the concrete and metal around them. Saten gritted her teeth, her hands trembling as she clung to Uiharu, their breaths coming in ragged gasps... they then heard a loud voice call out to a group of people, likely the group of thugs who were shooting at them.

The woman's voice echoed through the dimly lit tunnel, commanding and authoritative as she addressed her group of survivors, her voice was sharp yet laced with seductive and sadistic intent in it.

"All right, listen up, everyone!" she called out, her voice cutting through the tension like a knife, "I want you to bring me those two brats... dead or alive so we can take their loot, possessions and belongings...! If we're going to make it through the long-haul past this shitty apocalypse..."

Ruiko noted that she could hear three distinctive voices, all feminine and all of them showing the same thoughts and ideals... they wanted Uiharu and Ruiko dead or as hostages to take their stuff, even their clothing to potentially use for during the cold.

"Those selfish slimeballs..." Uiharu responded with disgust, she hated how selfish these three women sounded... whoever they were, Uiharu dislikes them on the spot... she looked at Ruiko with a sense of fear.

"We're fucked aren't we... it's not like we can escape this place and they're getting closer to us by the second, soon enough... they'll shoot and kill us to death..." Uiharu continued with a whisper into Ruiko's ear, Ruiko could feel Uiharu's breath tickle her ear as she spoke.

The woman who was the apparent leader of the group began to speak with a gleeful tone as she spoke to her fellow members, "On second thought, here are some new orders... shoot them to death without killing them!"

"But Rindou, that's impossible... you can't just..."

"Just listen to what our leader has to say, Mika... she's probably fucking with us or something along those lines."

The young woman, the apparent leader who was named Rindou smirked at the response by one of her comrades... she lets out a laugh and responded to the comment.

"Someone is really clever, isn't that right Stocking~?" Rindou smirks as she pats Stocking on the head, she swipes Rindou's hand away in disgust as she hates headpats and being touched in general.

As they continue raining bullets upon Ruiko and Uiharu, the bullets suddenly stop and Rindou swears angrily and slams her fist against the wall, hurting it in the process and proceeding the shake it in pain, "AWWW FUCK... WE RAN OUT OF AMMO."

"Maybe it's because a certain genius decided that emptying the fuck out of our magazines at an iron beam was a good idea, the least we can do now is beat those fuckers behind the beam up... you dumbass" Stocking responded with an annoyed look in her eyes.

"But you also emptied all your ammo didnt you, so aren't you also an idiot like me?" Rindou responded with a comeback of her own, but Stocking wasn't having any of it... not from this annoying girl.

"Yeah... because knowing you, you would probably shoot me dead if I disobeyed... plus even then, you were hogging up all the ammo anyways!" Stocking responded angrily, the two girls got nose to nose in anger... threatening to tear each others throats apart.

"Girls... please don't fight..."

Mika spoke up, both Rindou and Stocking looked at her and sighed... they both tended to get heated very quicky, very fast.

As the three girls squabbled, Ruiko and Uiharu take their chance to run away... all they had to do was exit the train station and they would be safe, Rindou and her gang chase after them and they should be able to escape but like any shitty story... there must be VERY convenient things to happen.

"Quick, the brats are running away... AFTER THEM!"

Rindou yelled at the top of her lungs and pointed her small gun at the running Ruiko and Uiharu, demanding that Stocking and Mika follow her as they dash towards the running girls... eager to kill and loot them.

"Look, we can escape from the entrance... lets go!"

Ruiko spoke as she runs alongside Uiharu to her escape, but remember how I mentioned that SHITTY stories always have lackluster convenient writing in order for things to happen...

Another large iron beam falls, the rubble blocks the escape route... Ruiko and Uiharu are trapped and cornered, it was an iron beam that saved them from certain death... and now an iron beam might kill them.

Iron beam giveth, Iron Beam taketh away.

"Oh for fucks sake, you've got to be kidding me... thats bullshit!" Uiharu and Ruiko spoke simultaneously, they were fucked now... there is no way for them to escape beyond this point and they are now at the mercy of Rindou and the Gang.

"But wait... they don't have ammo anymore... lets roll, Ui~Ha~Ru!" Ruiko spoke as she charged at Rindou and gives her a hellacious RKO from out of nowhere, right on the iron beam and knocking Rindou the fuck out, stunning both Stocking and Mika into shock.

"Holy fucking shit! RKO FROM OUTTA NOWHERE, BAWH GAWD!" Stocking chuckles, she seemed to enjoy seeing Rindou get RKO'd by Ruiko Saten, Uiharu pats her on the back and spoke.

"would you look at that...! Looks like watching all that WWE paid off somehow and here I thought you wasted your whole life watching that weird shit..." Uiharu smiled at the scene.

"told you that watching the viper would pay off" Ruiko flashed a piece sign as Rindou woke up, albeit dizzy as fuck... her brain must've been damaged because she patted Ruiko on the back instead of killing her.

"Kehehe... well done, let me introduce you to my survivor group..." Rindou chuckles and pointed at Stocking, she spoke with a dizzy tone which could be mistaken as a drunken slur... probably due to her dizzy and concussed state.

"You see that motherfucker over there, her name is Stocking Anarchy... oh and by the way..."

Rindou whispers an unknown secret about Stocking, though Stocking immediately calls out Rindou's bullshit, pointing out her drunken swaying and slurred speech.

"No I do not like Justin Bieber and seriously... Justin Bieber?! What is this, 2009?!"

Stocking sighed, Rindou was clearly unconcious and unable to think properly, Stocking struggled to imagine that Rindou could get ANY stupider, but here we are...

"Oh and that girl over there, that's Mika Jougasaki... she's really hot and was an idol or something or so I heard..." Rindou continued, introducing her small group of survivors which she was the apparent leader of... she then introduced herself.

"And this hot as fuck babe you're standing in front of is none other than me... Kobayashi Rindou, what are your names... little ones?"

Uiharu and Ruiko quickly introduce themselves to the other survivors, now that they weren't trying to kill them that is...

"Hi, I'm Saten," Saten said, offering a shaky smile as she extended her hand to Kobayashi Rindou, Mika Jougasaki and Stocking Anarchy... "And this is Uiharu. We're just... trying to make it out of here alive... especially after the rise of the Skibidi Toilets."

Uiharu nodded in agreement, though she seemed to dislike the survivor group, probably because Rindou had been trying to kill them earlier without any thought besides looting, instead of thinking about the idea of adding Ruiko Saten and Uiharu Kanzari to her group.

"That being said, there is strangly little Skibidi Toilets in this area I assume it's because they can't get down the stairs very well..." Uiharu hypothesized, Stocking eagerly added to the hypothesis given by Uiharu.

"Yes, but it is also due to the lack of people here... the Skibidi Toilets prefer where the people are and notably... there aren't many bathrooms here so there aren't many places for the Skibidi Toilets to arrive or spawn from because for some reason... every toilet in Houston, Texas became a Skibidi Toilet and we don't know why..." Stocking responded, she carefully inspected the gun that she held... it was a small and pathetic pea shooter kind of gun... they were all armed with pea shooters.

"But that's besides the point, we need you girls to get armed before Rindou snaps to her senses... she may be friendly when she is concussed but when she wakes up, trust me... she's gonna be confused and will try getting you girls off our survivor group" Stocking continued, she pointed at Mika.

"Ah yes... I would like you girls to know that we are preparing to sleep deep in this train station... the rubble will block any Skibidi Toilets from entering, they can only enter from other stations I believe... however"

Mika paused and took time to get her thoughts sorted out, Rindou had proposed a sleeping strategy so they could sleep safely since being asleep could easily leave them open for any Skibidi Toilet Attacks.

"One person will have to stay awake the whole night as we sleep, this duty will shift each day and ensure that we will all be able to sleep safely... the lookout is required to alert us in case any Skibidi Toilets are near the vicinity"

With that out of the way, Mika and Stocking urge the concussed Rindou to sleep... they all begin to sleep on the dirty and cold floor as the rain pours heavily from the outside, Stocking was in charge of lookout duty for today and stood awake... making sure no Skibidi Toilets were awake.

But from a blindspot, there were two pairs of eyeballs who were observing the group, a former NBA Big man and A red race car with the number 97... the tall former NBA center patted the race car on the iconic lightning sticker.

"Let's sleep in the tunnels, looks like the station is occupied... I'm going to sleep inside of you... thanks Lightning."
