Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back

Backup

(Still Zacky's point of view)

As the four of us approached the prison cells, sirens sounded. They were loud, deafening, terrifying sirens. We had been caught. Our pace quickened as we made our way to M.'s cell, it was going to be pretty hard escaping now but we'd manage.

"Holy shit!" M. said as he saw us approach.

"Just stand the fuck back," Ghoul swore at him and he backed away from the bars, to the back wall of the cell. Pulling out their ray guns, Ghoul and Dissonant aimed at the lock that kept M. secure and imprisoned in the cell, then at the hinges. Sparks flew, blinding us with the orange glow and pieces of metal were flung all around us. I ripped the door from where it stood and M. ran out and down the hall.

"ARE YOU GUYS COMING OR WHAT?!" he called from the end of the corridor and we quickly hurried after him. As we reached the very end of what seemed to be the maze of corridors, the hall split into four. We stood in the middle of the four passages, unsure of where to go when all of a sudden we heard noises coming from each direction. 

Dracs were coming at us from our left and right, whereas Korse himself was in front of us with S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/Ws on either side of him. I felt Methane tense beside me as she watched in horror, scenes probably flying into her mind as she remembered the last time she had been here. 

Our only option was to turn around and run to the end of the corridor behind us. So I began sprinting, M., Methane, Dissonant, Kobra and Ghoul followed. Lasers bounced off from every direction, hitting off of every object in the place, smashing windows, chipping walls. I turned around, still running, and began shooting back. The sounds deafened me, they were horrifying sounds, they became even worse as we left the building, but they weren't as horrifying or as deafening as the scream.

It was a spine chilling, blood curling scream. It forced my head to turn around to look behind me and I saw Methane standing there, clutching her stomach. All the blood drained from her face as she fell to the ground. 

"METHANE!" Dissonant cried out as she tried to run to her friend.

"LEAVE HER!" Ghoul shouted at her, his voice cracked with emotion as he grabbed Dissonant shoulders and forced her away. She was in shock, but she agreed anyway, as she knew that there was no hope for her now.

We kept on running, until we reached the road where Dr. Death's van sat. Deathly and Vortex were perched on top, shooting the enemies that approached them. The door slid open to reveal Synyster, trying to get us all into the van. Death started the engine and we began driving as soon as Deathly and Vortex jumped through the front windows.  "Whoops..." Deathly giggled as she kicked Death in the face on her way.

"Where's...where's Methane?" Jet-Star asked. Dissonant looked up from her tear-stained boyfriend's shirt and said, 'dead'. Tears began falling from her eyes again. Silence fell. Fun Ghoul was having a hard time, his head was buried in his hands and his body shook violently with sobs. I even had to bite my lip to stop a gasp from escaping. Guilt and sorrow was plastered on M.'s face, he didn't even notice Synyster sitting beside him.

It was going to be tough for the next while.
