I looked around in the darkness before attempting to wiggle out of the chair, stopping when I heard several voices speaking to each other.

"Who the hell made that! That never happened!" The female voice I heard from earlier demanded angrily.

"I don't know why that was leaked, I encrypted the files for it." Someone explained.

"Why would you do that?! We can't go back now!" She yelled, the sound of equipment being tossed aside echoing in my ears. "I'll never get him back." She cried, or at least it sounded like she wanted to cry.

"Wait. He's back again. Quick, get back on track." A different voice commanded, that world disappearing yet again as I reappeared in the real world.

I looked around the corner and expecting to see Latrina twisted, mauled and turned into one of those things. But nothing was there except another empty hall, about to return to Arsen I stopped to the sound of metal scraping against a steel wall, holding my gaze I flinched at the screeching sound of metal rubbing together, a small girl appeared in the hall.

Her right hand placed over her head as if she was pain, her other arm dragging behind, her hair bright green hair stretching down to her waist. Her shapeless black suit bloodied but in perfect condition, she adorned dark-grey sleeves with green lining at the tip of her sleeves, her shoulders exposed while every other part of her was covered by the dark color.

She looked in my direction, revealing two amethyst colored eyes scanning the hallway till she saw me poking my head around the corner, her eyes fixing to me the color began to shift to a bright, red death. Looking into those soulless eyes, I could still see that someone was there but so was lust, a lust to kill.

She began to stumble towards me before collapsing onto the ground, glass shattering as she landed. She looked to me with those same eyes full of bloodlust, her left eye cracked and broken, her arms seemed to be too weak to lift her up, but I knew that she would quickly figure out how to stand back up.

I looked to where Arsen should be and saw that the ceiling had collapsed, but why didn't I hear it? Why didn't I notice something that important? I looked back around the corner to see the android had gotten to its feet and already begun to shamble closer.

"You-you think that deat-th will keep-p me away?!" She threatened, her voice cracking at random intervals, "I'm not-t done y-y-ye-et." She added barely able to speak, almost as if she was learning how to speak.

Waiting behind the corner, I jumped out as the metal scraping closened. Kicking her in the shin, she fell to the ground, sprinting past her down the hall, turning right at the intersection I grabbed the door handle at the end of the second hall. Sliding the door open I stepped through it, slamming it behind me I backed away from it. Turning around I found I was in some sort of an observatory, a massive glass wall greeted me. Staring into the starless space a small flash sparkling blue streaked across the vacuum.

Metallic scraping snapped my attention to the door to see the android standing there, the cracked eye missing a chip of glass. Stepping through the door about to close it, she stopped before staring at something behind me. But nothing was behind me, nothing except a glass wall between me and the choking emptiness of space.

Stomping to the glass, I dashed past her toward only to stop as more monsters appeared in the doorway. Changing directions I ran to the other side of the room and grabbed a railing. I looked to see the things stumbling toward me and behind them, the girl was punching the glass each leaving a crack in the window until one massive stream stretched to the ceiling. Stopping she looked to me with an expression of pain and hurt, "Goodbye." She cried. before winding her fist back to smite the glass.
