Chapter 3: The facility

Meanwhile John's twin brother Phil is searching for him.

"So he's been missing for how long now!?" Phil said.

"For 3 months now. I tried to call him and text him, but he won't respond." Elizabeth said.

"Have you tried calling his job yet?" Phil said.

"Yes, for a couple days now but they would barely answer, but when they answer the same guy answers and says this, (Sorry but I have not seen him), then hangs up. I don't know why but every time I hear that voice, I just feel something sinister. I don't know if he's playing some kind of prank because It's not funny." Elizabeth said.

"You know what fuck this, I'm going to NL Industries to see what the hell is going on." Phil said.

"Ok but you're not going by yourself." Elizabeth announced.

So they got in the car and drove to NL Industries. 30 minutes later they made it to NL Industries wondering what to do next.

"You have your pistols with you?" Elizabeth asked.

"Of course." Phil said.

Elizabeth and Phil enter NL Industries armed and ready for whatever lies ahead. Meanwhile John is trying to find his way out. Suddenly he hears a phone ring\, so he follows the sound of the phone until he makes it to an Orange Room. He tries to open the door\, but it doesn't budge. So\, he bangs and pushes on the door as hard as he can over and over and over\, until finally.  * Smash!!!!* The door broke.  John looked up and there was an ominous light on the telephone\, on a mysterious table in the middle of the room. John realized that there was a very awful smell in the room\, as if there was a whole mountain of corpses in the room. John ignored the smell and walked towards the phone. *RING RING!!! RING RING!!!* John picked up the phone and said.

“Hello?”

“JOHN!?!?! JOHN IS THAT YOU?!!?!!”

“Who is this, and who's asking?”

“It's me Dex!!!”

“Don't tell me that I'm stuck here, and I can be Prank called too…” John said to himself.

"NO!! I'm the Codey that was with you in the vents."

"Ohh... Wait just a minute!! Why wasn't you talking like this before!!?!!?"

"I was. You just couldn't understand me."

"Oh." John said embarrassed.

"Anyway, you need to be careful. There are Dreamares all over the place, especially at SR-2. Which is where you are currently in. Good news, there is an elevator. Bad news, you are hours away from the elevator, and there's more hostile threats there. Luckily this facility is not like the other world, or what you would say: (The outside world.) This world that you are in, it's almost like a video game. So, you don't have much to worry about. Expect death."

"Okay." John said with a little more confidence.

"PLEASE HURRY AND SAVE ME!!! I don't know how much longer I can be out there without getting caught again!!" Dex said with fear in his voice.

The phone hangs up and a notification pops up in John's face. It says, "You must escape before He finds you again." Confused John won those what it's talking about, suddenly a flash silhouette of M.A.R showed up in his mind.

John felt a chill when down his spine. Horrified of whatever, it has become. John walks out the room thinking of where to go next. Until you feel something behind him. John turns around, but there's nothing there. John, ignoring the feeling decides to continue going forward. John enters a large office room. The lights are dim, it looks old and abandoned as the place is trashed and no one has cleaned for several months, and most of the monitors are destroyed. John walks up to one of the monitors then it turns on.

" Hello, I'm a A.I.C. Which stands for (Artificial, Intelligence, Computer.) How may I help you today?" the monitor said cheerfully.

"Luckily this A.I.C works." John said with a sigh of relief.

"A.I.C, what happened here?" John asked.

"Experiment V-9081 also known as (V.G.C-9081(has escaped (Y.V.P-4781) also known as (Yuno Virtual Pod-4781.) It escaped with a virus named; (Zekirin Infinix), which is linked directly to M.A.R. Since M.A.R got his other half back, he decided to distort the facility and wreak havoc on the facility. There are good news and bad news about the M.A.R situation. Bad news: 80% is M.A.R and V-9081's unquenched rage. but the Good news: 20% is a mind of a scared and confused child."

"What is this supposed to mean?" John asked.

"This means that you have a 20.01% chance to be able get through to M.A.R."

"This is interesting information." John thought.

Suddenly loud gun shots were heard, followed with distorted ravenous screams of different animals. John hides behind a office desk. He feels his heart about to thud out of his chest with fear. Two people dashed in guns blazing and slammed the door behind them. Horrified they searched the room. John tries to sneak away, but he gets caught.

"Hey, stand up and turn around, slowly."

So John gets up and turns around slowly. He looks up...

"John!?" Phil and Elizabeth said in surprising and disbelief.

"Philip and Elizabeth!? What are you doing here!!!??!??"

Phil ran to his twin brother and gave him a big hug.

"We came here looking for you!" Elizabeth said.

"What!?!!?! Why!?"

"Because you were gone for 6 months straight." Phil said.

"6 months!? I just got here an hour ago!!" John said yelled.

Phil and Elizabeth look at him in confusion. and then they start continuing the conversation, while the creatures on the other side was still banging on the door. Then John made a hypothesis that they are in a parallel universe and that time works extremely different than normal time. Philip and Elizabeth confused they talk about whatever they're going to do. Suddenly the door busts open! The group looked up as the Dreamares towered over them, with the distorted and mixed growls and snarls. There animal and insect heads on their bodies are extremely adorable and lovable, but their bodies are horrendous complete nightmare fuel. John horrified wondering what those things are, Elizabeth and Philip grab John and run straight through the door on the other side of the room.
