No One Can Hear You: The Animals VS The Strangers

Part 11: The End

Ryan slumped tiredly against a wall and closed his eyes, sighing. He sat there with his eyes closed until he heard the sound of two sets of footsteps. He painfully stood up and limped to the door and looked out, seeing Tiger Mask and Lamb Mask walking out of the forest. He turned around and was smacked to the ground by The Man In The Mask. He groaned, groggily looking up at the man, who raised his axe. Ryan, who's vision was still blurry, kicked his foot out and hit The Man in the leg, causing him to fall. Ryan frantically tried to stand up but the man in the mask grabbed his leg and pulled him down roughly. Ryan and The Man struggled against each other, punching and kicking. This continued until The Man In The Mask overpowered Ryan, getting on top of him and wrapping his hands around Ryan's neck, choking him. Ryan clawed at his neck, gasping and choking. The Man in The Mask gripped Ryan's neck tighter, his grip like an iron vise. Ryan started to see black spots and his vision started swirling as he started to lose consciousness. As he was just about to pass out, a crossbow bolt flew through one of the windows and slammed into The Man In The Mask's shoulder, causing his grip to loosen enough for Ryan to shove him off and groggily stand up.

Lamb Mask and Tiger Mask walked in, Lamb Mask with his crossbow slung over his shoulder. Ryan, still gasping for breath, turned and ran down the stairs into the Cabin's deteriorating basement. He closed the door behind him and blocked it the best that he could before running down the stairs into the labyrinth of rotting wood and mossy stone supports. He entered one of the various "rooms" in the basement, which was filled with empty bookcases and a storage closet of some sort. He looked around, hoping he had enough time to arrange his hiding spot.

Tiger Mask, Lamb Mask and The Man In The Mask looked at one another fiercely. Tiger Mask saw Ryan run into the basement looked at Lamb Mask. "You go get the stupid kid. I'll get rid of this guy." Lamb Mask nodded, walking to the basement door. He started breaking it open with his axe as Tiger Mask and The Man In The Mask took out theirs, ready to strike. Tiger Mask struck first, swinging his axe in a downward arc at TMITM. He blocked it and retaliated with a sideways swipe, which Tiger Mask also dodged. They continued swinging at each other and dodging the other's attacks for quite a while before TMITM got lucky and snagged Tiger Mask on the arm with his axe, drawing blood and a small chunk of skin. Tiger Mask growled and rushed forward, swinging quickly at him. He dodged, and Tiger Mask knew he would. Tiger Mask body-slammed into him and they both slammed to the ground. Tiger Mask punched him hard in the face repeatedly before he knocked Tiger Mask off. They both punched and kicked each other viciously, neither ready to give up until the other was dead.

Meanwhile, Lamb Mask had broken into the basement and was looking around, axe ready. He looked through each of the basement's 'rooms' carefully and finally arrived at the "bookcase room". He saw nothing out of the ordinary and was about to leave when he noticed one of the bookcases was crooked and had been moved farther away from the others. He slowly walked over to the bookcase, his boots echoing loudly on the concrete floor. He reached for the side of the bookcase and pulled just as Ryan slammed the door of the storage closet into the back of the bookcase. The combined push-pull forces caused the bookcase to fall forward, crashing down on Lamb Mask. Ryan walked out of the closet and picked up Lamb Mask's axe, about to slam it down on his head when Lamb Mask freed one of his arms and grabbed Ryan's leg, pulling him roughly to the ground. Ryan fell and hit his head on the concrete floor, a groan escaping his mouth. Lamb Mask lifted the bookcase off of himself and crawled out from under it before walking over to Ryan. Lamb Mask reached for his axe and Ryan grabbed his wrist, twisting it. Lamb Mask screamed in pain as Ryan stood up and kicked him straight in the chest. Lamb Mask slammed into another bookcase, stunned. Ryan swung the axe at him but he recovered quickly enough to move out of the way, the axe imbedding itself where Lamb Mask's head had just been seconds before. Ryan pulled it out quickly as Lamb Mask took out his machete, swinging it at Ryan. Ryan stumbled back, the blade slightly scratching his chest. Lamb Mask continued swinging wildly, each time just barely missing Ryan. Ryan then noticed Lamb Mask's wound after being stabbed by Dollface. Ryan ducked under Lamb Mask's next swing and punched him right where the wound was located. Lamb Mask bent over and clutched his wound, fresh blood now flowing out. Ryan then pushed Lamb Mask back into the bookshelf before picking up the axe and hitting him in the chest with it. Lamb Mask gasped as Ryan pulled it out. Lamb Mask reached out and grabbed Ryan's shirt, tugging with great strength. Ryan dropped the axe and grabbed Lamb Mask's extended arms, trying to pull them off.
