"Final destination... The Depths!" The announcer said over the Central Radio
"Provisions will be given out when-" The Radio cut out.
I guess we really are deep. ☺Co. Equipment is known for being reliable and strong.
I look around the elevator. Beings of all shapes and sizes were gathered in the rapidly descending elevator. There appears to be some humans, Elfish creatures, Robots, Giants, and whatever the hell that black blob with eyes was.
We had been given equipment based on the forms we sent to ☺Co. . We were refused conventional weapons like guns, swords, and bombs. Their reasoning is that whatever is down here is immune to all weapons. We did receive old cameras, flashlights, soda caps, Info Visors, and a few supposedly paranormal objects, like a primordial party hat, a magical mirror, and The Shadow Orb. Some beings opted for body modifications, as there were quite a few people with fungal-like roots growing out of their legs, and metal contraptions implanted into their arms, chest, and legs.
"...bzzzzaztttt....ffffzzzzzttt...stop..fffzzzdddtf"
I guess the radio still got some sort of signal down here.
The elevator stopped.
I guess we've arrived.
Suddenly, the walls of the elevator fade away revealing a large room. Moss was growing on the stone tiles, and the walls were cracked and crumbling. There was a strong stench of mould and...
Burning flesh.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a Delver rushing towards me, what the hell are they doing? Is there a monster nearby or something-
The "Delver" grabs me by my neck and throws me to the ground. Oh, crap... It's a mimic! I should have known by the smell- I kick and claw at the large beast The mimic punches me in the chest, and I can barely breathe. As a last resort, I take out my camera...
Click
FLASH
The mimic froze. Its grip on my neck loosened and I booked it towards a group of people. I heard the mimic start to scream and whine behind me, but not wanting to look back in fear it would be right behind me, I closed my eyes and sprinted as fast as I could towards the group.
"Hey, watch it-"
I slammed into another Delver
"Oh- sorry, I-"
"I saw you struggling with that mimic back there... You're kind of dumb. And weak. Did I mention weak?"
I stared at my shoes
"The Mimic is one of the most ruthless, bloodthirsty entities. It often catches delvers off guard and will shove their dead bodies into the bag on its back. It takes its victim's identity."
They paused for a moment
"But even a 12-year-old can fight it... I really don't know how you couldn't just-"
The Delver stopped talking and stared at me
"...uh oh"
They ran off
"Wh-whats wrong?"
I turned around
A tall, lanky figure stood before me. It looked at me blankly, not making any noise except a faint buzzing, presumably coming from the glowing squares located across the monster's body.
The Warden...
Well, This is easy. I just have to stay still until it chooses another target.
I hear an alarm start to go off
Oh, crap- the elevators leaving without me. And I can't get to it, thanks to this idiot showing up. The warden will snap my neck in the blink of an eye.
But I have to try.
I take a small step
The warden doesn't move.
Maybe it only notices large movements?
I take a slightly larger step
Nothing happens. I think I can make a run for it if I move far enough away...
I slowly inch away,
The elevator is about to leave.
I get careless. I start to move faster.
CRACK
Everything went black
