Part-15 Escape

Sayori crawls out of the turret hatch on fire. Immediately she stands and peels off her jacket and throws it on the ground. She tries to put it out, but there's no point in saving it now.

Monika helps MC get on his feet.

"Sayori, are you ok?" He walks over.

She looks at him. Sayori snaps back into reality.

"I-I think.."

"Wait, Natsuki!"

Meanwhile, Natsuki cries as she turns around and begins to crawl. The flames grow stronger by the second.

"C'mon Yuri!" She calls out Yuri's name through the-

"AAIEEEEE!!"
Natsuki screams out in horror as she sees Yuri's headless corpse.

She trips back, unable to process what she's seeing. Her headless friend lies limply against the frontal armor. There is a shell hole right in front front of where Yuri's head had been. The inner walls are drenched in Yuri's blood.

Natsuki vomits into her hand. The puke leaks through her hand and onto her uniform.

Hot air engulfs her. She had to leave immediately, or she wouldn't make it.

"Natsuki! Get out of there! Natsuki!?" Monika calls out into the tank. She can't even get close without feeling the heats effect.

She collects herself and makes an attempt to escape.

Her hand lands on the transmission for support, but her skin is burnt instantly.

"Kyaahh!"

The air is incredibly hot. Perhaps the hottest temperature in a conventional oven.

She pushes through it.

But she's too late.

Fire latches onto her uniform and doesn't let go. The flames hold Natsuki tightly.

Now every part of her body is engulfed in flames.

Natsuki desperately tries to extinguish the flames, but it's no use.

"AHH! AAIEEE!" Natsuki screams. Every inch of her body burns with excruciating pain.

"GYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

MC's knees give up at the hellish sounds of Natsuki.

The screaming stops, only the crackle of fire is percieved.

Surely this wasn't real. Natsuki can't be dead, right? There was no way that Yuri and Natsuki were dead. But this is reality.

MC had never heard something so horrible. He had never heard so much pain and desperation expressed loudly with a single breath of air. Out of all the violent videogames he played, all the gory movies, and the gruesome videos he had watched, nothing was like this. Hearing the agonized screams of a young woman burning to death topped it off. To make it worse, that young woman is his friend and fellow clubmate.

MC covers his head with his hands, hoping, praying for this nightmare to end. Maybe it wasn't a nightmare, perhaps it was hell. Yeah maybe he had died from the first shot and was in hell for his deeds.
