eighteen - sticking to the plan

Monday, November 5, 1984

Why were you here again?

This was the question you were currently asking yourself, hiding in the corner of the control room as a Demodog stands on the deck just above Keiko and Kazuo, seconds away from lowering its head and seeing them.

You had come to save Kazuo's mother. Alright. But Hopper and Eleven could probably have done that, even though nobody could top the extremely stylish way you had silently decapitated that Demodog earlier. Elizabeth was partly to thank for that.

No, according to Hopper's plan, you were needed to protect the control room. Because of the emergency lockdown, the elevator couldn't come back up without Keiko's fingertips. The plan had been forgotten about when the Demodogs simply left the place thanks to whatever distracted them, but now they were back.

So you went ahead and followed the original instructions.

The Demodog jumped from the counter to snarl in front of Kazuo and his mother, who held him even tighter, convinced they were going to die. As the creature initiates a lunge towards them, you let out a loud grunt and slam your axe's blade right through its neck. It doesn't quite cut it off like before, which is quite disappointing, but it succeeds in killing it. Go for the weak points, you think as you kick the body for good measure.

"That's for Bob," you spit, feeling a kick of pride while imagining the creature was one of those who had killed Joyce's boyfriend.

Of course, this caught the attention of the two other Demodogs that had climbed out of the hole. They turn their heads in your direction, not knowing it was about to be cut off in a few seconds.

"I'm about to go full Queen of Hearts on these bitches," you laugh to yourself, embracing your newfound rage and confidence. You were tired of this shit, and the sooner they'd all be dead, the sooner you'd be home to take a well deserved shower.

The first to jump at you, you strike with your axe, right in his mouth full of teeth. It doesn't kill it instantly, and the blade stays stuck until you kick it back, and it retrieves, whimpering. The second one goes for your legs, but you dodge it and manage to slice its neck as it passes you, wounding it deeply. You don't have time to hit it again, you hear the other charging at you. You turn around and swing your weapon, feeling like a golfer as the axe comes in contact with the Demodog's abdomen, the impact sending it crashing into the wall. You let out a shaky breath, impressed by the strength adrenaline had given you.

"(Y/n)!" You hear Kazuo say, and turn around just in time to see him tackle the creature that was jumping towards your throat. If the vision of the teeth at such little distance from your face seems to be in slow motion, the next actions are quick and panicked.

Your friend falls to the floor, with the Demodog, and knows to roll away from the trajectory of your axe when you let out a yell that announces your presence. The blade plunges in the strange flesh of its abdomen, making it release an agonizing scream. You strike again, just in case, this time fully cutting its head off.

The other Demodog, that was thrown against the wall, is still alive, as it seems, but unconscious. Keiko is nudging it with her foot, having toppled a heavy metallic cabinet over it to keep it from moving in case it still could.

"Do you want me to-" she says, extending a hand in a kind proposition to do the killing herself. But you didn't really care much anymore.

"Nah, I'm fine," you answer, bringing the blade down to finish it off. After you make sure it won't move again, you stand straighter with a faint smile, panting, and turn to Kazuo. "You tackled a Demodog!" You say, still unable to believe he had just attacked the monster unarmed.
