"The entrance is clear. Dyce, get over here." Stepping aside so he could open the door. Sparks flying as he cut the door down, finishing in a just a few seconds, placing his blowtorch on his back, he drew his modified REW SP class rifle, firing it at the door a spread of pellets appeared on it, only each pellet began to crawl all over the door, before detonating, disintegrating the door to a green goo.
"Ladies first." He beckoned, Latrina stepped through the door, both her pistols drawn, electricity emitting from one of the barrels and purple smoke from the other.
"Clear, looks like there was some action here though." She said, pointing at a blood-spattered wall. Holstering her pistols, she placed a headband around her red hair, the band fitting perfectly around her head, the band itself a silver metal with four vibrant blue lights.
Stepping through the door, a beep sounded on my tracker sounded. Everyone freezing as they heard the beep, it beeped again, this time the dot farther from the edge. Pointing my weapon in direction of the dot, darkness was the only thing there, stumbling sounded in the distance, the sound of glass breaking even closer, each beep becoming louder as the dot moved closer and closer on the display.
"Hi there, my little children." A psychotic voice sounded down the hall. A man in a blue suit walked out of the darkness, blood covering the right side of his body, holding tightly onto a knife. "They need a sacrifice." He laughed. Charging me his knife in the air, the blade dripping blood. Instinctively pulling the trigger, a spear of electrified ice shot out, impaling him.
He collapsed to the orange metal floor, twitching and laughing as a pool of blood formed around him, his twitching slowly calming down till he had bled out and died.
"Whoops, wrong mode, meant to be a bullet."
Arsen walking through the door, looked at the corpse then me, "Seriously?! You're having all the fun. You said it wouldn't be fun!" He sighed in disappointment.
Walking down the hallway the laugh of a small child could be heard, around the corner flickering as the shadow of a person ran. Several dots appeared on the screen as it pulsed. The scream of a child sounded from behind one of the many doors.
"Each person get a door, move!" Arsen ordered, sliding a door open, he ran in, out of sight.
Sliding open my door, I saw a little girl with short blond hair, climbing into a vent, blood seeping from her leg down the wall.
"Wait, hold up," I said to her in a calm voice, she stopped climbing into the vent.
"I'm here to help. Do you know what happened here?" I asked her, slowly turning around, she stared at me her eyes glowing red, her bottom jaw split in two. Chest ripped open with three tentacles flailing around, her intestines hung out like a decoration, the right hand was gone, replaced with a single claw and her left had four fingers with sharp rounded claws. She stood there, staring at me, her mouth opened wide as a loud scream pierced through the air.
Covering my ears, she stopped and jumped toward me, her large claw grabbing my foot, I stumbled back out into the hall, tripping in the process. Jumping on me, two of her tentacles wrapped around my chest while the third one wrapped itself around my neck.
Attempting to bite my face, I moved my left arm in the way, her mouth biting down my wrist, the Polerite itself beginning to crush my wrist. Punching her in the side of the head with my free arm, she let go of me. Raising her massive claw I grabbed it, stopping her from stabbing me with it, holding onto the claw, I put my foot on her chest and began to pull the claw, the sound of flesh and muscle tearing as I ripped it off.
Kicking her back into the room, I picked up my rifle and fired at her, a bullet going straight through her, she stumbled backward, before regaining her balance and jumping toward me again.
Twisting my barrel I fired again, a ball of fire found its way out of my weapon and into her head, melting it to nothing but a hot sticky, a mess of heated flesh and bones.
Merely stunning again, she fell forward as one her feet got caught in the doorway, stepping on her chest with my left foot, pinning the little demon to the ground, I preceded to use my right foot to mutilate every limb off of her, incapacitating her.
The tentacles still worming around under my boot, I pushed my boot into her chest, the sound of bones crushing and organs rupturing the tentacles stopped moving and just laid on the floor limp.
"What happened to her?" Latrina walked up and asked, crouching down to examine the body.
"Better question yet, where were you?" I asked, taking in several deep breaths.
"I thought you had it handled." She said, picking up a tentacle and looking all over it.
Grabbing the intestines, she held them both up side by side. "It looks like these are just intestines. Which is absolutely disgusting, yet strangely fascinating." She said, dropping them on the ground.
"Dyce, really? Having even more fun without me again?!" Arsen questioned, looking at the body with a blank stare.
"You're killing little girls now?" pausing, "And you said I was messed up." He added jokingly.
"Let's just see if there are any survivors. Before I puke from the smell."
