The Plagued World Season Two

Episode Seven - The Dungeon Pt. 2

To gurgles, holding his chest as blood attempts desperately to leak. Kevin looks over, shocked. "To-!" To stumbles back, Kevin quickly catches him in response. "Oh god, oh god..." He says, panicked.

"You shouldn't have come here, Kevin," says Harry, holding a gun -- the barrel cooling off, letting off steam. Kevin looks over in rage, "what the hell, Harry?! Why are you doing this?!" Harry smiles and puts his gun in his holster. He walks up to Kevin, who was still desperately holding onto To, and crouches in front of him, he closes his eyes slightly with a very devious grin.

"I was bored," he said. Kevin growls, "y-you fucking bastard! That's not an excuse to ruin the world! Kill my wife! MY FAMILY TO BE!!!" He screamed. Harry smiles, standing up and turning around, "my colleague will be coming to throw you away momentarily. Sit tight." 

Harry walks out and closes the door behind him. Kevin holds To, who was fading in and out of life, his skin terribly pale, "nghh..." Kevin gently puts a hand on To's cheek, "com'on buddy...stay with me, stay with me..." They await to be taken elsewhere.

---------------------

"H-Huh?" Mark awakens, being placed on a procedure table. His clothes still intact, though, stripped of previous possessions. "What the hell is this place?" He looks around, curious. He tries to get up, but struggles. He's bounded to the table. "Ugh. Well, no getting out of here..." He sighs. Looking over to his left, he notices Thomas -- who was still asleep. He squirms a little, no use. "H-Hey! Thomas! Wake up!" He shouts, to no avail. He hears someone walking...he goes quiet, he closes his eyes and fakes being asleep. 

"Alright Harry, get these boys ready for the experiment," says the scientist. Harry nods and grabs a needle. "Just in case..." Mark squeezes his eyes lightly, the needle injecting into his skin, pushing a sleeping solution, knocking Mark out. Harry looks at Mark's sleeping eyes, feeling a sense of guilt, but he quickly shakes it off with remembrance of what he was meant for.

He pulled them into a chamber, lights flickering and flashing, a futuristic machine. He sighs, closing the gate, ultimately locking them in.

---------------

Tears flooding down his face, Kevin holds To very closely. For some reason, he felt an emotional pain, even though he'd just met him. It was a strange feeling, indeed, but he endured it. "Y-You...Sick...Bastards..."

Harry opens the door, smiling deviously at Kevin, "hello my pet! Don't worry about To...he's not going to die...yet." Kevin looks up at him in rage, his spirits burning in his chest. He then looks at To, blood leaking from his lips at this point, his skin pale and cold. "Save him! Do what you want with me, but save him!" Harry shakes his head, "haha, no, no...I need both of you. Though, I will have to let To heal until we begin our experiment. So...lemme just take 'em."

Harry picks up To very gently, taking him away. Before he leaves the room, he turns his head to face Kevin, "I'll come get you later. Stay put." He walks into the dark abyss. Kevin watches, unaware of what's next.

Kevin throws a fist at a monitor in frustration, cracking the screen, his fist pushes through the metal parts, circuits, and much more. Kevin pulls his hand back, bleeding and torn. He looks at his hand, now covered in blood. He looks around, still unsure about what to do.

"Pant...Pant..." Sarah sighs, cracking her neck to get the uncomfortable feeling out. "Alright...now, this looks suspicious," Sarah says, looking at the planted laboratory. She runs for the area. She walks into the lab, in the main area, she notices the still opened door from before. She sneaks in, and enters the secret lab.

"Uh..." She whispers, seeing Harry and the doctor conversating, seemingly arguing. "The hell..? Harry?!" She stands and walks in, excited to see him. "Harry! Hey!" She waves. Harry quickly pulls out his gun and takes a pit-shot. Sarah dodges, a tear of sweat falling down her forehead. "A-Ah, so...aggressive as always, huh?" Harry sighs, dropping his arm, shaking his head.

"Is everyone here? Christ..."

"Huh? Everyone?"

"You, then we took Mark and Thomas, and then Kevin and-" 

"Kevin's here?! Where is he, dude?"

"I- uh, aha...he's-..."

"In there?! Got it!"

"N-No! Don't go in there!"

Sarah opens the door, revealing nothing. She tilts her head, "uh...not in there." She turned and started looking elsewhere. Harry narrowed his eyes, "the hell? Where'd he go?" He rushed over to check the room. Kevin was nowhere to be found. Harry sucks his lip in, then he growls, "dammit! Where'd he go?!" He rushed back out to the main area, looking around in frustration.

---------------------

"Shoot, that was close..." Kevin says as he crawls through a very tight ventilation shaft. He sighs, looking around, crawling through several twists and turns. Seemingly lost, he drops suddenly from a broken vent gate. He falls to the ground with a loud thud. He quickly gathers himself and looks around.

The room, a nasty stench filled the air. "Hurp-!" Kevin gags, covering his mouth. Dead, empty corpses fill the room, and a giant screen lights the entire area up. Kevin looks over, his eyes getting stung by the brightness of the screen.

He narrows his eyes, "d-damn..." He sees a blueprint for a strange device, more menacing than any he'd seen in the previous lab. He walks up to the keyboard and starts messing with the machine, trying to find something else. He narrows his eyes, then they widen -- shocked at what was on the screen.

He slams the keyboard, breaking it into a ton of pieces, he breaks the screens, destroying the mother-boards. Furious, he bursts through the door, running to find an exit. "Kevin!" His name halts him in his tracks, "S-Sarah?" He turns around swiftly to find Sarah, standing. He runs to her, but then...

Harry comes from a side-hallway, tackling Kevin to the ground. This takes Kevin by surprise, he tries desperately to shake him off, "get- the fuck off me!" Kevin manages his foot and leg to make a swift and lethal kick to Harry's stomach. This sends Harry off of Kevin, and into a wall, causing it to crack. Harry coughs up blood, his eyes shaking open, he pants heavily.

"I guess that's why they consider you...the chosen one, haha!" He holds his stomach, blood leaking through his lips. Sarah tears up, getting to her knees. "Kevin- I'm sorry...I tricked you!" Kevin gets to his knees and hugs Sarah tightly, hushing her. "Shh, shhh...it's okay, dear."

Harry takes this opportunity to sneakily get up and walk away, his body weak and old, he took heavy damage. "Tsk...damn it that Kevin! Hmm...I think it's time for the final experiment to behind..." Harry presses a hidden button in the hallway, a door opens, he walks down the staircase...

"We have to save Thomas and Mark, they're here too," Sarah says. "I know, lets hurry up," Kevin stands, brushing himself off, Sarah joins them -- they begin down another hallway. They search for the lab, with no luck. They seem lost. "Hmm, I can't find a way out of here," Sarah says, feeling against a wall. 

"Neither can-" An ear-splitting siren goes off, stunning them. Kevin covers his ears, looking around, "the hell?!" Sarah faints, Kevin catches notice immediately, uncovering his ears to help her. She goes cold, Kevin tears up, the loud siren turning into a low hum in his mind, his ears begin to ring with fury and rage. Sarah's eyes shoot open, they are now pure red, black pupils pierce right through Kevin.

"Wh-...Sarah? Are you-?" This distracts Kevin, giving Sarah a chance to grab Kevin's arm, snapping it in half. Kevin shouts in pain, pushing Sarah off of him with one arm, he jumps back, holding his arm. "What the fuck?! Sarah?!" He shouts, the sirens eventually dying out. Kevin looks up at a speaker, then back at Sarah -- who was charging quickly at Kevin.

Kevin's eyes widen, "Sarah, this isn't you!" Sarah, seemingly in a trance, throws a swift punch at him, to in which he avoids. "Tsk-!" He jumps back, "I won't fight you Sarah! Snap out of it!" For a brief moment, Sarah's eyes revert to normal, she falls to her knees. Kevin, reluctant, reaches for her.

"Kevin-!" She growls, hands practically glued to her head desperately, she grips her hair tightly. "D-Don't-! Come near me! I can't control this!" She shouts, growling more and more. "H-Help! No-! DON'T!!!" She faints again. She quickly wakes, her eyes red again. 

"Hypnosis?! No, no, no!!!" Kevin shouts, tears flooding his eyes.

"I won't let them take you away!"
