Runner (Quacknoblade)

Chapter 2: The Game Begins

Quackity's POV

(Song recommendations: (Scarborough Fair (guitar-cello duet)")

I opened my eyes, I soon sat up slowly and rubbed them. Was it all just a sick dream? My vision turns from blurry to normal and nope, still the same. I sigh and look over at Techno. "Morning feathers, you alright?" He asked. I lay back down on him and nod my head. I then hear a sound like one of an announcement speaker from a school. "Rise and shine, the day goes on. More people to eliminate!" The voice said.
I groan and get up, Techno follows behind me. I look over to my right and find a dresser. I walk over and check inside, It has clothes, I pull out something and it was a large white dress shirt. I hand it to Techno, I look back in the draw and find black 3 quarter dress pants. I also hand that to Techno, I then see a blue track suit. It was a two piece instead of one, the top was a crop top while the bottom was long pants. I find a leotard as well, I guess they know our sense of fashion...

We both change into our clothes, I almost forgot that I was a women, the close was kind of tight around the chest area. I transform back into a man and walk to the entrance. Techno was putting on his boots by the door and I walked over to my sneakers. I slip them on and adjust them before standing up. Techno opens the door and we go outside, where we were met with two guards. "Let's go," one of them said. We slightly nodded our heads and they took us to a different part of the building. I can't tell where we are or the layout, I can't scan anything.

I look up at Techno and shake my head, he let's out a sigh. We walked all the way to a door, one of the guards opened it and we walked in. We saw the rest of the people standing up in a different area than before. We walk in further and the guards close the door behind us. "Ah our last set showed up," the man said. He then clapped his hands, "Let's get this thing started!" I then see the floor on the right of him open up and I see a wheel coming from it.

"This wheel will choose the mini game that you guys are going to play!" He yelled placing a hand on the wheel. He then spun it and we all watched as it spyn around and around and around. I was honestly quite nervous, what will they give us. It then started to slow down and then it stopped. It made a sound while lighting up the one it pointed to. "This one is my personal favorite! Danganronpa!" He yelled.

"You mean the anime where they all murder and kill each other?" One woman asked. "Yes ma'am you are correct," he said snapping his fingers. What the fuck?... "Of course we can't do anything without motivation right?" He asked, "Well I'll give you this time to explore your surroundings, in two hours is when everything will go... Down hill," he chuckled at the pause he gave the last part. I heard Techno grit his teeth, I then intertwined my arm with his, leaning on him. "It's going to be alright bubs," I said reassuring him.

"They are going to forge shit that isn't even real, I know their game," I said looking up at him. He nodded his head, "I hope your right," he replied squeezing my hand a bit. The door behind us then opens, "Any locked door you cannot pass through," he said. We all left through the door but the layout wasn't the same. "Where the hell are we?!" I yelled. "What are you talking about it's the same place we came from?" A guy scoffed. "No it's not, some things are out of place while some things weren't there already," I stated.

Techno then looks around, "He's right," he said. The others started to look around as well. I then hear the sound of the speaker, "Looks like you've got a person with good eyes, " he laughed, "Yes it's true Alexis you are in a different place, it's built to look the same. It's made for people like you." He added. I grit my teeth, dammit. I sigh and start scratching my head. "Don't let the stress get to you buddy," he laughed turing off the intercom.

"Bastard," I growled. "What happened?" One of the guys asked. "I almost got the layout of this entire fuckin' place, now I don't know shit!" I replied, my feathers flaring up a bit. "Calm down feathers," Techno replied. I sigh and scoff a bit. "Let's go," I gestured, Techno nodded and walked with me. Almost had this whole thing mapped but no this fuckin' asshole had to change shit. Since I can't scan the area then I have to map it out for myself.

I take mental notes of every door, hallway and where everything is. I found bathrooms, a stairwell, a video room, a dining hall, a cafeteria, a kitchen and a gym. It looked as though this was a school. I saw some classrooms as well with lockers so I guess that confirms my suspicion. I then walk back to the stairwell and told Techno all my thoughts, theories and things that I've observed. He nodded his head and listened to me as I spoke.

Once I finished talking we headed up the stairs. We walked around the place I noticed more bathrooms, more classrooms, a science lab, a nurse's office, the principal's office, a teacher's lounge and a bunch of vending machines. But the one place that caught my eye the most was the nurse's office. I walked in with Techno behind me, I checked the cabinets. Some of the shit here you wouldn't even find in a normal school. "The fuck?" I asked in disbelief.

Techno walked over to me, "What happened?" He asked. "The shit they have in these cabinets and draws is illegal," I said. "Like what?" He asked. "Poison, narcotics, tranquilizers, things you'd find in hospitals basically," I replied. I take up the poison and put it in my pocket, "What are you doing?" Techno asked. "Disposing it so no one can get hurt from it," I replied. He nodded his head, I wonder if I can find an incinerator..

"Let's go up upstairs again," I said. I walked out the nurse's office and went up the other stairwell. I go up and the place looks trashed... "The hell?" I whispered out. Techno let out a hum, I looked around a bit before walking forward. I found an incinerator, more classrooms, more lockers and the guidance office. I go to the incinerator and throw the bottles of poison I found. 15 bottles in total, I then go to te side of the incinerator and turn the handle.

It closes and I press the button right next to it causing it to burn. "Let's go," I said. Techno nodded and we walked out of the room. We saw a man and a woman go in the incinerator as well with a bag. A huge bag at that... I let out a hum and keep walking. I then hear the intercom start up, "Hello, is this thing on? Oh yeah! Everyone please report to the video room," the man said. The intercom shuts off and we make our way downstairs.

We go back down to the first floor where everyone is. The man and the woman followed behind us but I noticed we are missing a person. "Hmm," I let out observing everything. "Everyone go to a seat marked with your name on it," one of the guards said. I found my computer and sat down, I saw a disc right next to it. So I pick it up and insert it into the computer, I grab the headphones and put it on my head.

What the fuck? On the screen it showed my mom and dad being tied up, begging to be let free. After a bit of begging the screen turns to static and the next thing I knew they were dead. I took off the headphones and sigh. I then hear people crying, gasping and some even screamed. I get up from my chair and walk over to Techno. I then wrap my arms around him and I kiss his cheek. He was shaking, "Baby none of it is real, I promise you," I reassured him.

He took in a deep breath and nodded his head. I complimented him and showered him with kisses. They must of hit a soft spot for him in order to be shaking... Did they mention Tommy, Wilbur or maybe...

Phil?
