Dead Serve

Part 21~Acid

Kenma smirked from the corridor. Ayao was frantically trying to kick him out of the system but of course, he planned for that. He wasn't going to be rid of that easily. Kenma just hopped all of this would be worth it. "Don't screw up Kuroo."

Kuroo stopped, looking around the corner with narrow eyes. Once the path was clear, he motioned for the others to follow him. Kenma had drawn out a map for them to follow but that only worked if they didn't get caught.

Sneaking passed the series of doors, they were almost there.

Ding.

Everyone froze, Tsukishima pulled out his machete as Tamaki got the baseball bat ready. They approached the lift, fully prepared to at least knock out the occupant.

"What are you doing?" Kuroo had no problem with attacking someone but it seemed the least logical thing to do right now.

As the doors swung open, Tamaki almost knocked out Kiyoko who managed to duck in time. "Tsukishima?"

"Oya," Kuroo said in shock, longing over Tsukishima's shoulder. "Isn't that your manager?"

"Kiyoko? How did you get out?" Tsukishima lowered his machete, motioning for Tamaki to relax.

"They didn't catch me, I was stitching up Akakana and got out through the vents," Kiyoko explained with a flooding scene of relief.

"Wait, what? Why were you stitching someone up," Kuroo had no idea how epic this manager was.

Kiyoko shrugged her shoulders. "Noya stabbed her. It's a long story, I'll explain later. What's Kuroo doing here?"

Tsukishima gave a shady look towards Kuroo before deciding to deal with that later. "Kenma is also here but we will do that when we get back to the house."

Kiyoko looked like she wanted to say something but the echoing footsteps caused the group to panic. They swiftly backed up into the lift and waited for the scientists to pass by.

"Later?"

"Later," Kiyoko agreed, peeking her head back out.

"We need to get to lab 6. That's where the others are." Quickly jumping out, Kuroo dragged Kiyoko behind her.

"Oh, that's so original, I didn't think you would do that." Kuroo stopped, snickering a little at Kenma's bored voice. He seemed to be enjoying himself. "Come on, this is just tragic."

"Shut up! Kenji! Find the freak who has hacked my system!" Ayao was about to punch this computer.

Kenji was laughing his ass off, making Ayao glare at him.

"Shut up!" Ayao threw the scene monitor at Kenji's head, successfully throwing him over his chair and onto the floor.

"That was unnecessary," Kenji whispered painfully.

"Wow, so mature, you are almost at the same mental age as Kuroo," Kenma teased as Kuroo gasped; He didn't know whether to be offended or offended.

Kiyoko gently pushed open the door. About three other guards were in the room. Ayao was writhing in anger, she looked ready to break the next person who dared speak to her. Kenji was slowly standing up, rubbing the painful red bruise.

There was a large window at the back that showed the team.

"How do we get them out?" Kuroo's eyes flickered between each member before catching sight of the camera that was pointed directly at him. He waved his hand with a cheeky smile, hoping Kenma would get the idea.

A soft clicking told them he did as the door opened. Now all they had to do was get to it. Tsukishima slung the machete around his shoulder, watching the guards who were currently distracted by Ayao and Kenji.

"Come on, " Tsukishima whispered, sneaking into the room. They hid under the table as the Ayao and Kenji continued to argue. Kenma's increasing taunts kept the two angry as Ayao threw a chair at the camera, causing the guards to duck. Tsukishima used the distraction to run into the disinfection chambers. The second they were in the lab, he rushed over to Yamaguchi.

"Don't," Narita hissed quickly, causing Tsukishima to stop. "He's infected."

Tsukishima's eyes widened, he didn't want to lose Yamaguchi. "We need those chains off."

"Yeah, those aren't bugging," Kuroo grumbled, looking at the thick chains. "What we need is some hydrochloric acid."

Tamaki scoffed. "Where are you expecting us to get that?"

Kuroo smirked, crossing his arms over his chest sassily. "From the store clearly marked 'danger, highly corrosive acid.'"

Tamaki scowled, glaring at Kuroo. "Yeah, well... you're no fun."

The group rushed over to the store, forcing it open. Kuroo forced each to wear gloves and a mask before they took a canister and positioned it against the chains. With the chains frozen, Tsukishima and Tamaki could easily break the metal.

"We'll get the rest off when we are safe," Tsukishima stated, freezing slightly. "We can't leave him here." Tsukishima wanted to drag Yamaguchi away; wanted to take him somewhere safe; wanted to save him, but he was already lost.

"If we free him he will kill us," Tamaki pointed out in horror.

"He is still my friend and I will lot leave him here."

"You won't have to because none of you are leaving." Everyone spun, coming face to face with Ayao who backed up with the guards and Kenji. "Get them!"

The guards charged forward. Tamaki wasted no time, running out to meet them, swinging his bat straight at the first guy's face. Kiyoko swiped down, attempting to trip up the next guy but he dodged, pinning her down.

"Get away from my girlfriend!" Yachi swung her arms at the guard, hitting him with the heavy chains.

The third guard charged at Daichi who backed up. Sugawara's eyes narrowed as he hit the guard's head, knocking him down to the ground. Kenji growled as he charged at Tsukishima who had his machete ready. Kenji jumped, throwing a knife directly at Tsukishima who barely dodged. Some knife, blades and anything Kenji had hidden away went charging to the blond. Kenji was winning.

The other guard wasn't backing down either. The second guard used the chains on Yachi's wrists to bind her and Kiyoko, standing on the girls' stomach to keep them in place. The third guard grabbed Sugawara's ankles, pulling him over as he wrestled with the weaker boy, easily winning the fight. The first guard stood up, successfully snatching the baseball bat from Tamaki's hand and hitting him around the head before he ran to help the first by taking on Daichi.

Narita watched all of them, there had to be a way out.

Yamaguchi was alive.

He knew he might regret this, but as he broke the chains there was no time to think. Yamaguchi charged, but he didn't go for Narita- the closest person to him. He tackled Kenji and ripped out the man's throat.
