"What the fuck do you mean experiment?" Jack shouted.
"You 15 are what stand between humanity and its downfall. If all 15 of you die, It's game over, manage to survive and well... you go free. I recommend you start by exploring, oh and i left some things to defend yourselves with in the room...  Not that It matters anyways. Tata!" The intercom went silent.
"So what now?" Steven asked.
"We turn the power on." Jack replied.
"Are you crazy!? We need to get out of here not turn the power on!" a woman yelled.
"Are you stupid!? We can't go out there! Who knows what's out there!" a man shouted back at her.
"Watch me!" The woman stormed out and her footsteps echoed down the hall and then silence after a few moments the silence was broke. "Wh-what the fuck is that thing!? No no please!" A scream, the sound of a roar and then silence.
"I'm not going out there, no way!" another man exclaimed.
"Ok enough, those of your brave enough to go out there with me, step forward!" Jack raised his voice over everyone as silence fell over the room after.
Slowly 2 people stepped forward along with Steven.
"You two, what are your names?" Jack asked the two unnamed individuals.
The woman spoke first, "Call me Natasha. I'm a doctor... Or was."
"Ok, what about you?" Jack looked at the other person.
The teen spoke up, "Jason... The name is Jason... I'm an orphan."
"You sure you wanna do this?... You're, what... 16?" Jack placed a hand on their shoulder.
"Yes..." Jason replied.
Jack sighed, "Fine... Pepare and we will head out."
Jack began looking around the room to find the supplies that was mentioned and after a bit he found a long table with supplies on and around it. There were swords, bats, brass knuckles, clawed knuckles, knives, daggers, bows and arrows, axes, scythes, sickles and more.
"Ah, found em!" Jack said as he began picking up and feeling how each weapon felt before spotting a beautiful great sword. The hilt was a beautiful silver and the blade black, like it was made out of a meteor fragment. The other 3 came over and began taking their picks along with some of the other people wishing to defend themselves. Jason had chosen clawed knuckles. Natasha chose a baseball bat and Steven chose a compound bow with hunting tip arrows.
"If you three are ready, we will head out." Jack said heading towards the exit of the room, the other 3 in tow.
"Fuck, it's so dark out here..." Jack was on point slowly making his way through with the other 3 close behind.
"Any idea where to turn on the power?" Steven asked.
"No clue" Jack reaponded, I'd say look for signs or anything that will help indicate where it could be.
As they made their way through the darkness they eventually found some signs on the walls and they followed them through the darkness descending a staircase to what could be assumed was the basement.
"Its pitch black down here..." Natasha said using the wall for guidance.
"I think I found it..." Jason said and there was a loud click and a whirr as the power turned back on, screaming and shouting could faintly be heard back the direction they came from.
"That can't be good." They rushed back retracing their steps and as they burst into the room they started in, they were met with a scene out of a horror movie.
Some bodies were torn apart, some ripped in half and others there was no trace of, blood soaked the floors and walls.
Jack noticed a woman cowering under a table in the darkest corener of the room and rushed over.
"What happened!?" He exclaimed.
"Th-there was so many of them... When the power came on we heard what sounded like heavy doors sliding open and... Oh god..." She sobbed.
"How many got away?" Jack asked.
"I-if they got somewhere save... There will be only 10 of us left..." The woman was staring at the floor.
"Uhhh Jack, We have a problem!" Steven shouted.
Jack turned around to see a creature, it was sorta fluffy and it was big. It had K9 teeth and a large fluffy tail, its fur was black and white, it looked around curiously as if wishing to see what the commotion was about. After a few moments it sat and stared at the 5 of them.
Steven fired an arrow at it and upon hitting it the creature turned hostile, it screeched and it stood.
"Fuck fuck fuck! You couldn't have left it alone!?" Jack shouted.
"I don't trust that damn thing!" Steven shouted back.
"Here it comes!" Natasha readied herself.
Jack lunged at the creature and slashed it. The creature screeched in pain and focused on Jack.
"I'll keep it busy! Give it all you got!" Jack shouted.
Steven got some distance and began firing arrows.
Natasha began her assault with her bat.
Jason hesitated but her began to slash at the creature. The four of them worked in harmony to keep up the attack before the creature roared and its tail began to split showing a row of razor sharp teeth.
"It's tail has a mouth!" Natasha freaked out.
"It fucking what!?" Jack shouted.
"Suddenly the tail whipped around and lunged at Jack. Jack quickly brought up his sword and guarded against the attack, the teeth locked with the blade.
"A little help!" Jack struggled to hold the tail at bay.
"On it..." Jason began attacking the tail till the creature shrieked and retreated its tail.
"Thanks kid!" Jack began his assault again.
After a hard fought battle, the creature fell to the floor with a thud. It was finally dead.
Jack breathed heavily, "Just what the fuck is going on here..."
