B1-B3 Emergency Stairwell {destroyed}

Dr. James Ferral wrote:(Open sez me~)



As Jack tried the door again in desperation, the keypad's screen lit up green-



"Beep!"

The confirmation beep of a security override suddenly forced the door to slide open like Jack had assumed, forcing the young man to stumble into the small catwalk that hovered over the abyss!



It was a narrow, poorly lit catwalk that seemingly was built in what appeared to be a natural cave! The sound of rushing water could be heard below. Further below, just barely visible in the light from the chemical storage one could make out modern walls and structural support columns holding up craggy rocks, and further still the shapes of rusted pipes between the walls leading down and into the depths of the earth itself...





The stairs lead in a spiraling (but squared) fashion, down to a small walkway and a pair of double doors...

Stop trying tha-" she started, frustrated as she was turning to check the door due to the slithering of the 'snake' drawing closer- when she heard a loud 'beep' that was similar to confirmation beeps you'd hear on any computer system. She snapped her head back to the card reader, and noticed it lit up green with 'ACCESS' in digital font across it- then watched as the young man stumbled into a dark room, the sound of running water, pipes entering the room as the rusty metal walkway he tumbled onto groaned and shook! She was surprised as is that the door opened in the first place, sliding into the wall like he had surmised; but then she was surprised, that he was about to fall over a railing! "(Oh shit!)" she spat, rushing into the new room after him! She grabbed hold of his hoodie and shoulder pulling him away from the rickety railing before he could tumble over it! "Woah, (holy shit), got you..." she gasped, taking a step back herself. The new area... was beyond... normal! "What the hell is this place...?" Yoko asked, blinking rapidly as she looked around the spaciously cavernous room!

Dr. James Ferral wrote:The door closed soon after both were in the stairwell... trapping them inside! They would notice, as they turned... there was no card reader, no door handle on this side of the doorway...

She looked around the cavernous room. It was essentially a staircase hanging off the side of wall leading down into the foundation of the classroom building, in an underground cavern that was converted into a water treatment plant or some sort of sewer? She couldn't tell, it was too far down to really ascertain what was going on down below, and she wasn't keen on finding out. She realized she was still holding onto the young man, and released him, backing up gently-

-the sound of the door sliding back into place caused her to swerve on the balls of her feet, and rush for the door! "NO!" her voice echoed, as she ran into the door just as it closed shut! How stupid could I be? What if we get trapped out here! Her mind panicked, as she felt around for the handle. Her heart sank when she realized... there was none.

"No... there's no handle! No knob...!" She stated her panic out loud to the young man, feeling the walls. Nothing. She didn't even see a card reader! She turned around to face him, her large brown eyes wide with worry. "We're trapped..."

Jack Cavanaugh wrote:(from here)
Jack stumbled through the doorway, not expecting the resistance to give! "W-woah!" He shouted, stumbling forward blindly into the darkness, his boots clunking on metal grated flooring, the landing he stepped onto felt old and unsupported and quivered as he continued to stumble forwards into a simple railing! "WOAAAH!!!" he shouted again, as he stared down a very long drop!



"SHIIIIIIT!" Jack screamed, as he felt his balance completely dissolve, the sensation of going over the railing and plunging was all too real!

Yoko asked, blinking rapidly as she looked around the spaciously cavernous room!

He then felt the tug on his neck and shoulder, his body pulled back and away from the groaning rusty railing and he was suddenly in the middle of the rusty metal platform! "Holy... shit...." he panted, gulped, and turned to face the Asian girl who saved him, who was telling him she got him. "Thanks..." he sighed, with a weary smile, as he looked around the room with her. "I... haven't a clue." he said honestly.

He was taken in by the subtle beauty of the cave, till he heard movement and turned to see the woman run into the door which had closed on its own! "Shit!" He spat, turning abruptly and rushing to the woman's side. Shit, I didn't think it close on us! He thought. She was feeling the walls, the door, saying there was no handle, no reader. He took the flashlight off his belt and checked himself, illuminating the wall and door with the bright white light. Nothing. "Crap.."

Jack turned around, and began scanning the walls and then the floor with the beam of light, realizing that this platform had a set of stairs leading downwards apparently...




"There's a door... from the looks of it." he began. "A couple of flights down these stairs. Well, I'm glad it isn't just a small closet full of dangerous chemicals... just before the door opened, I was thinking to myself- 'it would really suck if this was a supply closet'." he said in a lighter tone, trying to make light of the situation, or at least give them some piece of mind.

Yoko Sasaki wrote:

Yoko sighed, and looked around for something that could help open the door, but as evident by her forced companion's flashlight, there was nothing about... "(Fuck...!)" She spat, slamming her sneaker against the door, before letting out a longer, more frustrated sigh. She then turned to the young man, and raised a brow. How can he be so calm about this...? She thought, before shaking her head. "Yeah, I'm still unsure how the door managed to open without a key... something like that does not generally open on its own..." she explained, and didn't think he actually had anything to do with it opening. It felt very... convenient. Deliberate. She didn't know why, but she sensed something about this scenario didn't add up right. She felt like a pawn, pushed about on a chess board. He's too oblivious to think about it like that, I wouldn't be surprised... She thought, upon looking at the younger man with her heavy lidded gaze. Either that, or he's simply glad to be as far away from that so called 'giant snake'. Still, I can't deny it potentially existing, as we both heard the loud slithering of something large moving down the hallway...

Jack Cavanaugh wrote:"So, are you a student here, Sasaki?" Jack asked. "You looked like you were looking for something in particular in the room we were just in..." he started up, attempting to bridge a conversation with his annoyed companion.

Jack Cavanaugh wrote:He didn't know what buttons he was pressing, but he tried to step on eggshells from now on. However, finding out the flame spray was her only weapon was concerning. "Well, I'll help you find something better to work with, but have to admit, your 'flame thrower' concept is pretty clever, it's a simple but practical design. Good job." he praised, as he cautiously followed behind her. To make things easier for her, he shined the light down on her-



-impressive glutes. Damn... He thought, his face flustered, as he quickly trained the light further to the side, to aid Yoko Sasaki with finding the stairwell. One wrong slip, and she'd end up as an Empire Penny as well, fated to slam into the sidewalk or in this case, a rocky cavern floor...! Still... she had a very, attractive butt and he couldn't deny it...

I think my opinion on yoga pants has changed... he thought to himself, as he had a hard time not fixating on the beautiful image of her buttocks. He had to push away the perversion though, as they came to the first of the three landings. "The... light helping?" He asked, sheepishly, glad now he was behind the Maglite as he was sure his face felt as red as a fire's embers!

Yoko Sasaki wrote:"No need. I'm sure the path ahead will divide, and then we'll go our separate ways. I need to get out of this place, find my sister. Get out of this wretched town..."

Yoko Sasaki wrote:She then turned to him, hands in her windbreaker's pockets, her large almond shaped eyes blinking as he shined the light down on the stairwell ahead of her, at her right leg and thigh as it quickly shifted position down to her ankles without any subtly. In other situations, she would have reacted more playfully. She rose a brow, and then spoke: "(Idiot...)"

Yoko Sasaki wrote:She then continued down the short stairwell, knowing he was looking at her ass- she could see it on his flushed features... granted, he was kinda cute. And tall. She liked them tall to be honest, but she was so tired and fed up, she wasn't in the mood to flirt... yet. Still, despite such 'declarations' she had a little more 'sway' in her step, a little more sashay in the swing of her hips as she descended ahead of him~

He frowned at that. "Now, that just sounds reckless to me! We ought to stick together for the time being. Its much safer that way..." he explained.

He rose a brow at that. "...Baka?" He says it out loud, having a general idea what it meant given his relations with the Kendos, but... decided to play the fool. "What the hell is a 'Baka'?" He asked, as he followed after her, casting the light downwards again-

-and noticed a more prominent sway in her hips that was very... distracting. "W-whatever..." He coughed, pulling up his scarf, and then refocused the direction of the conversation. "I was just with a group of survivors, we're decently armed though most of us lack the training. We were heading for the Gymnasium where apparently everyone else still alive in the campus are receiving aid. I'm just looking for my boss's daughter, then I'm getting the hell out of here too. If you want, I can help you find your sister as well. I just want to help is all." He explained as they were reaching the second of the smaller landings, the stairwell shifting somewhat and groaning!

Jack Cavanaugh wrote: He grabbed hold of a railing, and stood still, waiting for it to pass... before pointing the light at Yoko. "You okay?" He asked.

She ignored him for the time being, continuing down the stairwell as planned, when she heard him say something behind her:

She paused as he romaji'ed the word in his mother tongue, and she smirked. He seemed like he was earnest in trying to survive, and trying to help, so she humored him somewhat and half turned to face him with lidded eyes and a playful smirk. "It means 'big protector'. Like soldier, or 'fearless leader' I suppose." she lied, smirking as she said it, before turning around to face him. "You're too concerned about the life of someone you just met, why be a 'Baka', eh? Will it make you feel better to put your neck out for someone you hardly know? What do you wish to gain from this, Jack?" She asked, and was a little harsh whilst doing so, not that he would know. Then, the stairwell began to shake, and she let out a tiny yelp as she stepped forwards! She still had her hands in her pockets so she wasn't holding onto anything like him, so she ended up hugging him for support!

Jack Cavanaugh wrote: He grabbed hold of a railing, and stood still, waiting for it to pass... before pointing the light at Yoko. "You okay?" He asked.

His light cast down upon her, her large breasts squished against his... actually, rather firm abdomen! She blinked, faced buried into his vest, her face slightly flustering as she glanced up at him as she held him tight. "(Crap...! This wasn't what I planned...!)" She shouted in Japanese, muffled by his vest as she gently pulled away, her large onigiri bouncing and she nervously tucked strands of short black hair behind one ear, eyes shifted away from him as she had reddened cheeks. "I-I am fine..." she coughed into her wrist. "Lost my footing... wha-what the hell was that?" She asked, and looked around. They still had two flights to go... and hoped the stairwell would still hold out!

Jack Cavanaugh wrote:
Jack became flustered, as he felt her plump onigiri flattening against his chest before his light was cast down upon her. He gulped, and could see down her cleavage from her cropped tank top from this angle, being how tall he was. Soft... He thought, and gulped again. "...I just. Want to help people. I don't want to be a coward, not again..." he replied, in response to her BS about 'Baka', but yeah, if he was an idiot for it? So be it...

Jack Cavanaugh wrote:
He watched her pull away, flustered and he looked away as well. "R-right." As for what had just happened? He didn't know. He began scanning the walls with the light, checking their progress and to see if the bolts which anchored this stairwell to the mortar was still functional. The thing looked at least 30 or 40 years old. He was kinda curious how it was made in the first place... "I'm not sure..." he said, as he continued to scan the wall with the electric torch, as the Brits would say. They only had as he noticed... three more landings to go before they made it to the larger one. Shit... we're not even halfway there, and this thing feels like its trying to give out on us now, why?? He asked himself, feeling unnerved as he swept his light around. "Let's just continue more cautiously, we still got three or so more flights of stairs, Sasaki..." he gulped.

Chupacabra wrote:As Jack scanned with the light... the circle of light fell upon a large, grotesque creature...

The beast was brown in coloration, and was at least the size of a hatchback! It pressed its body against the wall, pinned in place with the aid of very flexible limbs and long, gangly, clawed fingers...! It had the face of a bat, and it hung there like one as well, one hand on one of the stairwell supports...!

Chupacabra wrote:SCRREEACH...??

The beast made a shrill sound, its beady black eyes turning to the cute couple, its unnaturally wide grin spreading upon its ugly, horrifying face!

Chupacabra wrote:

With a graceful swing of its body, it swung itself towards the pair! Its long, gangly fingers grabbing hold of the landing above them, as it slobbered, looking at the fine, blood filled meals below it! The Alpha Chupacabra/Rake, snarled hungrily down at the pair, trying to catch them with its apposable toes whilst it hung on one arm- the free arm clawing out at them, to try and corral them to its feet...!

Rebecka Kriska wrote:

Jack Cavanaugh wrote:"You ladies look like you need a lift. Trust us, you do NOT wanna be out in the woods without a tank or something, there's like, giant dinosaur things out here." He explained.

Rebecka didn't know if he was kidding or serious... but considering he looked like he was equipped like Rambo and had a big gun hanging on a rack behind his head, she was pretty sure that they hit the jackpot on finding someone who could reasonably protect them. "Please tell me you're pulling my leg..." she says, but thought of the huge thing she had just slammed into... and if it was some sort of huge, monstrous animal then she REALLY didn't need to be standing out here any longer! "The city's got zombies, like... people eating each other, people who have seen the wrong end of a fork and should be dead are literally eating people man!" She explained, before turning to Zoe, and then back to him. "Not to mention the huge bat like thing that swallowed our friend Elena, whole! Where are you headed?" She asked nervously.

Chupacabra wrote:

"BROAR!!" Roared the creature loudly as it felt the bullets smack into its face, but more from the bright light directly being shined into its sensitive eyes! The Rake/Chupacabra are usually able to handle light better than when they are smaller and juvenile, as adults, their eyes can handle brighter lights and even allow them to walk in sunlight- but even for an Alpha, direct, close range blinding light was enough to make it feel crippled! It let go of Yoko, and soon was assaulted by smaller infected bats! The creature swung its long limbs, batting the mutant creatures and their squeaking, tiny bodies away! It could see the pair of humans fleeing through the chaotic swirl of fuzz and teeth, and dropped itself down a level, grabbing hold of the stairwell landing to lean up and strike at the pair as they were going down the steps!

Yoko Sasaki wrote:She thought she was a goner, before Jack swooped in and saved her! Then she felt lots of somethings swooping in!



"BATS!!" She screamed, covering her head, as she squished against Jack's shoulder, feeling his arm wrap around her knees for stability, as she draped over his shoulder like a carpet! She could feel the small, tiny creature attacking her and Jack! Scratching at their clothes, hair, flesh, biting! They were like, large vampire bats! Far larger than they should be!

She felt the stairwell shake, and then screamed as she saw the big thing, the Rake, drop to their level and reach up to swat at them! "JACK!" she screamed, pointing at the hazard!

"I KNOW!!" He screamed as he continued to swat them back with the heavy metal flashlight! They had... two more landings left? He could make that, easily! He was used to cross country, urban and downhill running! He began to recklessly lengthen his stride, taking two steps or more at a time! Practically hopping down them! The stairwell shook and whined as bolts came loose from the wall due to the chaos brewing! Then, through the murk of flying brown fur and teeth, he could hear Yoko scream his name! He glanced up, making out her hand in the limited light, pointing down! He looked from her to his right, his face against her right buttock which, felt soft and warm, to the large creature with its gaping Glasgow smile! "OH SHIT!" He screamed, and as it swung out with its clawed hand, Jack hopped onto the safety rail, on his descent down the stairwell! He hopped over its arm, slamming his boot heel into the railing it held on, missing his mark! Shit!

Then, the railing groaned, and bent, falling back, pulling it and the creature downward! "YES!" he screamed, turning the corner quickly, his body lurching with his and Yoko's combined weight as they descended the last bit of stairs, before hitting the landing! He slid his maglight into his belt, light shining up into his right armpit, as he lowered Yoko on the main platform, yanking out his handgun again. "We need to move!" he screamed, holding her hand and pulled her through the last tornado of attacking bats, which obscured where the large creature had fallen! I hope the bastard fell into the abyss...! Jack hoped, guiding Yoko through the torrential flurry of the attacking bats!

Yoko Sasaki wrote:Yoko screamed from Jack's antics, but... saw the beast fall!! "You got'em!!" She screamed with delight, in spite of the constant attacks from the smaller, yet larger than normal bats! As they made it down to the bottom, he let her down, and grabbed her hand, forcing her face to become red as she looked at the young man in a different light. He's... truly something else... She thought, blinking as he lead her through the bats...

Chupacabra wrote:



As the pair made it to the platform, through the chaos of bats, it could see them, thanks to Jack's light source! It then leaped up, onto the platform ahead of them, the entire structure whining and shaking violently, almost shoving the pair over the edge!

Thump...thump....thump...!

The beast spread its long, gangly arms out as it widened its mouth! Slimy saliva dripping from its crooked, needle like teeth as its hungry eyes fixated on the pair of humans destined to become its next meal...! It advanced slowly towards them, it had all the time in the world now....

Yoko Sasaki wrote:...which dispersed slightly with the shaking of the entire stairwell! "Waah!" She cried, gripping his hand tight, pressing her tiny, but curvy frame against his back! She peered around his wide shoulders, to see the monster..! "Oh God, its blocking the path!!" She screamed, gripping Jack tighter.

The Harvester wrote:"Source..."
















The sound of the eerie mish-mash of voices became so... completely clear amid the chaos, as it brought a shiver down Jack's and Yoko's spine...!

The entire platform shook violently! Causing the three creatures to stumble about, and the metal rails to whine and groan....!

The air became deathly cold, and the bats completely dispersed!

"Source..."

The voice spoke again... the visage of a taller, more grotesque being stood behind the Rake/Chupacabra...








"Source..." It spoke, as its claws jammed through the back of the Alpha Rake, gripping onto something wriggling within it...



Its free hand had gripped the Rake's face, twisting it with a grotesque crack that was wet and loud! The limp, humongous husk of the creature was puddy in its right hand, as its left held the squirming, dying parasite in its other hand, looking at it with its freakish looking face mere inches from it.

"Source...?"



An odd beeping echoed, and the beast snarled...

SQUISH!

The creature then squished the squirming parasite into a bloody mist! The thing shrieked but not long, as it was crushed into red mist! It fell in chunks that melted in the open air, burning as it filtered through the grated platform floor...!

"Source..." The beast repeated, looming over the pair of humans, tossing the remains of the Alpha Chupacabra over to the left, its body slamming into the cavern wall before it fell into the dimly lit darkness so far below...

"Source..." It repeated again, staring at the humans... its large, bulbous stomach bouncing, as the outline of a woman squirming inside and pressing her face against the taut flesh was clearly visible!



The monster flicked its blood dripping, blood stained fingers individually as it seemed to curiously inspect the pair of humans before it, cocking its head to the side, its ragged, rancid breath gasping out in warm puffs of mist in the cool air around them... It slowly shambled towards them... reaching out...

"Source...?"

Yoko Sasaki wrote:"If it leaps... get ready to drop onto your belly, if it grabs me, run for the door..."

She listened to Jack's words, and looked up at him with a shocked glare. Is he serious?! He's going to really sacrifice himself for me...? A complete stranger?! She thought, looking flabbergasted and annoyed as well! After all, what does it mean if something like this is out here? What other things lurk ahead of them...?! Realizing she had already chosen to follow him, but too proud to admit it, she clung to his vest with a tightly gripped hand, and prepared for the worst...!

She just... didn't realize what the worst looked like... till a few moments later...

"Source..." It repeated again, staring at the humans... its large, bulbous stomach bouncing, as the outline of a woman squirming inside and pressing her face against the taut flesh was clearly visible!



The monster flicked its blood dripping, blood stained fingers individually as it seemed to curiously inspect the pair of humans before it, cocking its head to the side, its ragged, rancid breath gasping out in warm puffs of mist in the cool air around them... It slowly shambled towards them... reaching out...

"Source...?"

"Jack..." she said with a small, ragged voice. "What... is that... thing?" She gulped. She felt so small, and sick when she looked upon the thing that killed the Rake in one swift movement, tossing it aside like a sad ragdoll. It had killed something squirming inside it... a monster, within the monster... then she noticed the monster before them, this huge, terrifying creature that reeked of death... had a squirming woman in its sagging, wriggling stomach!



"Oh my God... it eats humans...! It eats humans whole, Jack...!" She screamed, hugging him tight, feeling absolutely terrified as it reached out for them!!
