After Nickel and Baseball told everyone earlier about the plan, they decided to change it up a bit.

Baseball wanted to be in the plan but he assumed he was going to hold them back so he didn't go.

Instead, Paintbrush went with Nickel.

This was the time the coconuts went through the door.

They found the coconuts and soon followed them.

Paintbrush's POV

"If the scientist is sleeping on these days then how are the coconuts even moving?" I asked Nickel.

"Its probably in their coding to come back at this time, look they don't even react to things." Nickel said as he picked up a rock and threw it in front of the coconuts.

The coconuts crawled over the rock.

I kept quiet after that and we just continued walking.

We made it to the wall.

We stayed behind some leaves just in case.

When the door opened for the coconuts, Nickel immediately stretched his robotic arm to make the door reopen.

Which it did.

We slowly walked in.

I could see the coconuts shutting down but after that everything was dark.

Only a few computer screens were on.

"So what are we looking for again?" I asked quietly.

Nickel still had his arm at the door entrance, it kept trying to close but it always reopened.

Nickel was looking around as well "Just a way to get out, the first plan was to just all leave this night, but just in case we needed to see if it is possible to leave before we do anything big." he said.

"Oh yea and TestTube wants anything science related we find." he continued as he picked up something.

I really couldn't tell what he picked up but I just went back to searching.

I looked over at the screens, they were all like still images, at small moments the leaves would move a bit.

I didn't think of it much and picked up some small empty bottles.

These could help with collecting water.

I looked around a bit more.

This room was dark as hell.

But there was an area that seemed darker than the rest.

I went towards it.

It was an entrance.

"Hey, I think I found a way out of this room." I tried to tell Nickel but also tried not too be too loud.

"Then go check what you can find, I'll stay here." Nickel said.

I nodded and put the empty bottles on the table.

I started walking into the new entrance, it led to a hallway.

It was even darker than the room.

I tried navigating by going against the wall.

There wasn't much.

I found some doors but nothing else.

At some point though I felt the ground underneath my next step disappear.

I didn't have time to react.

ah CRA-

No POV

Paintbrush fell down a flight of stairs.

When they reached the bottom, they were faced down on the ground.

Parts of their wood had been broken off, the pieces weren't big enough to bleed to death from but they still bled a lot.

They stayed on the ground a bit before trying to get up.

They groaned and stumbled a bit after they got up.

"Well at least I didn't die I guess." Paintbrush whispered to themself as they held their head.

They used their other hand to stop some parts of them from bleeding.

They stopped at some point when there was a small noise.

It was still pitch black.

There were eyes that glowed a bit far from Paintbrush.

But they were still staring at Paintbrush.

Some more eyes opened.

All eight eyes glowed blue.

And soon, they started heading towards Paintbrush.

Paintbrush backed up a bit.

The creature roared and started running towards them.


BANG


The creature hit the bars of It's cell.

It shook its head and growled.

Paintbrush sat on the floor.

They held their chest and were breathing quickly.

They soon sighed and navigated their way up the stairs.

Instead of walking up the stairs, they crawled, every slight movement to them was painful.

Paintbrush made it back to the entrance of the first room.

They went in and grabbed the empty bottles.

Nickel was about to ask what happened, until the hallway lights turned on.

Both of them immediately panicked and ran out through the entrance that led outside.

They took everything they could take.






















A coconut sat at the entrance to the outside.

It watched as the two ran.

It looked to another coconut on a tree.

It also watched.

"Recorded." the coconut on the tree said.

It didn't sound like Tombstone.
