Re: [Serious] What lurks in the shadows (Open to Vae and Fro for now.)

[FroYo]

As the lift made it's way down to the ground floor, it played some cheesy elevator music which Takao found enjoyable. He tapped his foot to the beat and nodded his head. Meanwhile, Mich stood in the corner, trying his best to stand up straight and using the elevator's walls to support him.

"W-where am I..?" he asked as he clutched his aching head.
"The elevator, you dumbass." Takao replied as he continued to tap his feet to music's beat.

The elevator made a ding noise to signal that they were at the ground floor. It opened up and Takao exited, only to see a beat up Billy laid onto a round table. Billy's face had bruises all over it and his nose looked out of place.

"W-wow, who di-"
"Fool, it's a trap!"

Takao turned to look behind him and saw Mich clutching a pistol, his finger danced dangerously above the trigger. Mich pushed the trigger, the pistol was aiming at Mishi, his vision was still a little blurry so he there is a chance that he missed. While this took place, a familiar figure watched the event unfold, he hung upside down from the roof of the room Takao and Mishi were currently in.

[Vaetric]

Mishi kept an eye on Mich, was he even in the same elevator? She wasn't sure, she didn't even know the structure of the place they were in, it must be quite tall and quite large.

Finally! The elevator opened, she was about to walk out when she saw that Billy was looking worse for ware. He said it was a tra-

She turned to see Mich, pointing a gun at her! No!" She screamed, placing her hands in front of herself (with the ivory horse) as he shot her. Luckily, Mich's aim was a bit off due to having been hit in the head, unluckily, he still hit her.

He managed to shoot her through her far left stomach, not hitting the intestines but still it hurt, and she was bleeding.

A lot.

She fell to her knees, gasping in pain, she clutched her wound, staring at the ground, looks like she was in shock.

[FroYo]

Crap! If only they dealt with this guy while he was in the elevator, now look, Mishi's on the floor with a hole in her stomach. Mich chuckled as he saw Mishi fall onto the floor.

"No one interrupts our drug dealings! Anyone that does has to pay the price, get that through your thick heads. Now prepare to die."

Mich then turned to shoot Takao but saw he was missing, where had he gone too? Mich looked left and right but there was no sign of Takao at all.

"Down here."

Mich heard a voice coming from the floor and looked down, only to see a crouched Takao in front of him. As soon as he lay eyes on him, Takao sprung upwards and slammed both of his gloved fists onto Mich's face. Once he was up,he kneed Mich in the stomach causing him to clutch his aching stomach and drop his pistol. Takao was about to finish him off but a figure leaped onto him from behind, he fell onto the floor and the figure sat on top of his back.

"So, are they the guy's friend? How fun."

This voice was... familiar. Takao looked up towards the person who sat on top of him. It was that bald, vampire looking guy from before! He looked like he was hungry... this was bad. The pistol was beside Mishi, three bullets left inside it. Mich crawled for the pistol while Takao attempted to shake the bald guy off his back before he started sucking his blood or some other wierd sh*t which vampires do.

The group were in quite the situation.

[Vaetric]

Pain.

So much pain.

She had to get the bullet out! She actually felt it, so it wasn't a particularly mortal wound, but she was bleeding! She bit her lip, and reached for the bullet. Pure pain. Gasping, she fumbled at it and eventually the thing popped out. She pressed her left hand to her wound, looking around. Billy was out, and Takao had taken down the one who shot her, but he was being attacked by the bald man.

The pistol Mich had was next to her. she reached for it, the pain being almost too much to bear, she reached for the pistol, should she take it she would aim it at Mich. "S-stop! Stay d-down!" she said, before turning the gun toward the bald man, trying to fire a shot toward his leg through tear-stained eyes.

[FroYo]

"Not on my watch!" Mich yelled as attempted to clutch Mishi's wrist and redirect the shot.

Meanwhile, Takao watched as Mishi attempted to save him from the bald man who sat on top of him. Damn it, if only this guy could move then he'd be able to get Mishi and Billy the medical treatment they deserved. Turning back to face the man, it seemed he was going for Takao's neck, was he a cannibal!? Takao elbowed the man across the face, causing him to roll off Takao. Takao then quickly got back on his feet before running towards Mishi.

"Quick, chuck it over here!"

[Vaetric]

Damn! She should've just shot the Mich guy, she tightened her hand keeping the blood from pooling out, and winced. She tried to kick Mich in the face multiple times, before hearing and seeing Takao going toward her. He told her to throw it, but Mich had her wrist! She tried to pull her arm back and then push it forward, it might not go far, but it'll go somewhere in Takao's direction.

Meanwhile, she'd just continue to try to kick Mich in the face, or anywhere close.

[FroYo]

The pistol didn't go far but it was close enough. Takao picked up the pistol and turned. He was surprised to see the bald man right in front of him, he fried the pistol and the bullet tore through the man's shoulder causing him to scream in pain. He then turned to face Mich and shot him too, the bullet hit his waist. Mishi kicks then proved effective as they landed on his face, knocking him out for good.

Meanwhile, the bald man escaped via the elevator. Takao didn't care, at least now all harm was gone. He offered Mishi his hand.

"We need to get out of here. That bald guy might be getting reinforcements."

The only exit was up the staircase at the end of the small room, the stairs led to a wall. To open this wall up, you needed to knock against it in a certain beat. The group was lucky to have Takao for he memorized the beat of by heart,after all, he was a musician.

[Vaetric]

Mishi staggered over to Billy, attempting to smack him on the top of the head or on his chin. "G-get up!" she said, hoping he'd be fit to walk or get out of here. It looked like they only beat him up, hopefully they didn't break his legs along with his nose.

She followed after Takao, clutching at her wound. She needed to get a cloth, or something.

She got an idea, she took off her top suit, revealing the white button shirt underneath, and wrapping it around the wound. She squeezed it as tight as it could be before following after him. Hopefully that would stop the bloodflow, at least... For now.

[FroYo]

Billy slowly got off the round table and onto his feet, he could walk, just not too quickly. He followed Takao and Mishi up the staircase which led straight onto a dead end.

"Alright, I got this."

Takao knocked on the wall in the same beat he used to get into the place, once he was done, the wall opened up. Ah, it felt great to be out. The soft wind greeted Takao as he exited, it was getting dark and they needed to get some medical attention.

A few hours later. . .

---

Mishi was all patched up and the bullet was removed from her stomach, Billy was also taken care of and he was looking better than before. Meanwhile, Takao waited for the two to awake from their sleep. The doctor said they needed a rest but it had been an hour since they both went to sleep.

"Oi, guys, wake up already!"
"They need their rest you idiot!"

The two slept on separate beds in the same room.

[Vaetric]

She almost passed out when they entered the hospital, it was a good thing that Takao remembered how to get out. And she still had her ivory horse, hopefully that'd sell for a lot of coin, maybe even refill all of the money she spent and then some.

She was asleep in her bed, before re-awakening. She never remembered her dreams unless they were interrupted, for some reason. She opened her eyes. "Oh... Did we ma-Takaowhatareyoudoinginhere!" She said, at first sleepily, then alarmed. Without even realising it, she threw the nearest thing to her at him, which was... A spoon.

[FroYo]

"H-hey what're you doing!?"

Takao quickly shifted to the side and dodged the flying spoon, it seems Mishi was back to her old self. Just at that moment, Billy awoke and was surprised to see a spoon fall onto his chest.

"..Uh... thanks.?"

Great, both of them were up. Now they could finally start to head out of this island.. for good.

"Alllright! Let's go!~"
