"I can help you escape, kid, but I need your help," offered Vladimir.
"What makes you think I'd trust you?" questioned Kibo, eyeing him skeptically.
"I'm a man of my word, but also this place is full of ultraviolet light, I can't stand it," Vladimir explained, his discomfort evident.
Kibo scoffed at Vladimir with suspicion.
"You see that generator over there?" Vladimir pointed to a machine at the end of the hall. "Destroy it, it will shut down half the lights in this area and open all doors. I tried doing it myself, but I'm not strong enough; a werewolf like you might do the job."
"I can't even reach the generator," Kibo replied.
Vladimir nonchalantly spat out one of his fangs. "Use my fang, I can grow another one. I need you to throw it with the force of a bullet."
Vladimir handed Kibo the fang through a bullet hole in the wall.
Kibo took the tooth and focused, scrutinizing it in her hand, and let out a heavy sigh.
The silence stretched, and Kibo's breathing became deep and resonant.
With one swift, powerful motion, she threw the fang, spinning it through the air until it collided with the generator, mirroring the force of a bullet.
BOOM!!!
A symphony of chaos erupted as every door swung wide open, sirens blared in discordant harmony, and the once-piercing lights plunged into an abyss of darkness. The abrupt transition left the air charged with tension, and the ensuing pandemonium reverberated through the now unshackled corridors.
"Good work, kid! Now we just have to fight through this zombie horde," declared Vladimir.
"Zombies? What is this place?" Kibo exclaimed.
From the depths of their prison cells, a legion of undead emerged, their forms illuminated by the dim Ultraviolet emergency lights. The grim reality of the surroundings became palpable as the zombies shuffled into the open, a macabre revelation of the horrors that lurked within.
Amidst the encroaching horde, a zombie's claws slashed across Kibo's arm, marking her with a searing pain. Reacting with primal instincts, she unleashed a transformation, morphing into a colossal werewolf that towered over the surrounding undead.
The room trembled as Kibo's massive form collided with the horde. Claws and fangs tore through decaying flesh, limbs flailing as the werewolf's ferocity cut a path through the relentless onslaught. The once-encroaching zombies fell victim to the overwhelming might of the transformed Kibo.
The room echoed with the staccato rhythm of gunfire. Guards stormed in, their weapons blazing as they riddled the remaining zombies with bullets. Amid the chaos, Kibo seized the opportunity. With a swift motion, she smacked one of the guards, disarming him with his gun. The cold steel of the weapon found its way into Kibo's hands.
In a daring display of precision, Kibo hurled the stolen firearm with uncanny accuracy. The gun sailed through the air, landing at Vladimir's feet. The vampire, caught off guard, looked at the weapon with surprise. The resounding impact of the gun striking the floor echoed in the chamber, signaling a brief respite in the midst of the tumultuous escape.
"Let's make a swift exit from this place," Vladimir suggested, picking up the assault rifle from the floor.
Kibo and Vladimir sprinted through the dimly lit, labyrinthine hallways. The sterile scent of antiseptic hung in the air, intermingling with the metallic tang of weapons and the distant, echoing clatter of hurried footsteps. The flickering, cold fluorescence above cast long shadows that danced along the walls, creating an eerie symphony of light and darkness as they hastened toward their destination.
"Hold on, I need to find my brother and mother," Kibo insisted.
The duo hastened to the laboratory. Kibo relentlessly kicked the stubborn steel door, but it remained unyielding.
Vlad intervened, placing a restraining hand on her shoulder.
"Allow me, please," Vlad offered.
The vampire aimed and fired at the UV lamp above, plunging the hallway into darkness.
Morphing into the form of a small bat, Vladimir contorted his body to squeeze effortlessly beneath the narrow gap under the door. The inky silhouette of his sleek wings cast fleeting shadows on the floor as he skillfully navigated the confined space. With a subtle flutter, he emerged on the other side, seamlessly returning to his humanoid form as he efficiently unlatched the door, the dim light flickering off his keen, crimson eyes.
Vladimir bowed, gesturing for Kibo to enter. She stepped into the room, only to be confronted by a shocking sight –
several vats, like macabre aquariums, punctuated the stark walls, each one a repository of humans in various stages of zombification.
Eerie reflections on the glass surfaces reveal distorted faces frozen in expressions of agony and despair. The sickly-sweet odor of decay wafted through the air, clinging to the atmosphere like an intangible shroud, as the grotesque experiments unfolded in the macabre science gone awry.
Kibo's voice blended with a mixture of disbelief and horror.
"Are they experimenting... on the undead?"
