Lobotomy Corporation: Second Wave

Day 7: A touch of something beyond

Everything in my body burned, even as I tried to stand I had to put all my energy into it. I turned around to face where I got pushed from, the door to the stairs was still opened yet the light from outside was nowhere to be seen, just how long was I out? I turned around again only to be faced with a long corridor and from the looks of it another door at the end, or perhaps maybe an elevator. I walked through the hallway as I did I begun to notice doors on my sides, then I remembered, I'm in the old corporation, obviously, they held other abnorms here, what I didn't expect was to hear music, it felt, entrancing yet, I looked to my gun, I felt a sense of aggression, no, I can ignore it, I'll do whatever it takes to ignore it, I covered my ears in hope to block the music and continued walking. The music started to get more muffled and eventually stopped, i turned and noticed a pool of blood coming from one of the doors, i took a few steps back and it felt like I stood in something, I looked at my legs and saw...ash? I looked at my original direction and noticed a small figure walking out one of the doors, I was ready to fire but noticed a match or some kind of fire behind the figure no it couldn't even be described as a figure, the thing that resembled a little girl was all ash. The girl looked at me and walked away, I questioned why it wasn't hostile, and yet I realized, maybe it's because I never did work on it, I heard that certain things like a bad work can cause things to breach and kill, or maybe, she was targeting something else. In the middle of my thinking, the music came back and it was much louder than before the pool of blood leaking from the door grew as well, I decided even if it hurt me I needed to know what was behind the door. I walked back to the door covering my ears as much as possible, I grabbed onto the door, here goes nothing.

"O..Oliver!?" He stood there, looking entranced throwing bodies into this machine blending them or just turning them to music, I looked and saw the next body he was going to throw, it was Shina, Oliver looked at me, his eyes, they looked behind helping "Oliver stand down" I took out my gun and aimed at him, even if was futile I didn't want to kill him. Oliver took out his gun, the gun he told me about, the one that could end us all, with one hand he aimed it at me. I came to the decision, either way, I would die, so the best course of action is rushing him and that I did, when I reached him I jolted his arm up causing the gun to fire and hit the ceiling, yet it ricocheted off of it and hit my ankle. I shouted in pain "Damnit!" Oliver pulled the weapon away from my grip and with all his force jabbed the stock into my chest forcing the air in my lungs to escape me, Oliver placed his foot on my neck while he was moving the gun to face me again "Oliver, please stand down" he faced the gun towards me not caring where it hit, as long as it killed

"Oh fuck this" I heard a voice behind Oliver shout and with that, a bat was swung at his head knocking him out "You okay"

"Yeah, thanks Shina" I stood up and faced...not shina?

"I don't know who Shina is but I'm taking a guess it's the guy who was going to get shredded, you don't know how this thing works do you?" The man looked over at the machine which stopped playing music

"No, I have a gist of what it does, anyway, what're you doing here?" I kept my distance from him, from his looks and scars he didn't look friendly

"Isn't that a rude question to ask when you're not allowed here either?" We both stood in silence till he spoke again with a sigh "I was looking for something, it's hard to find nowadays since it's no longer given to employees"

"Hold on, do you work at the new L corp as well?" After I said that he looked surprised, putting his hand over his mouth

"So, she was right, there is a new one" he tried mumbling but I heard him regardless

"huuuhhh" I heard groaning on the floor, yet I kept looking at the man, i knew the person getting up was Shina

"Now then" He stuck his hand out "You can just call me Ao, and yes before you say it, I know my hair matches my name" his hair was blue, I kinda smiled, at least he has a sense of humor
