[Citadel Announcement]
Hello, hello, Hellooo everyone. This is the manager of this fine establishing building AKA YOUR BOSS... Here to tell you all that; incase you didn't know ofcourse... there are three individuals that are part of the ZX force taking refuge here in OUR building... and I want them all dead. So! To whoever brings me the corpses of Kelvin Fischer, Oscar Sawyer and Brandon FUCKING Smith, will be rewarded 80 MILLION dollars...! Oh, and to make things entertaining, it's a free for all so... Happy hunting!
4:00 A.M
It's been hours since the announcement... everyone assumed the big man was dead... most didn't care... they just kept killing. Some made alliances to split the reward but that never lasted long. Oscar Sawyer was found and killed 3 hours ago by the Yakuza; sneaky motherfuckers. Terry and I had a smooth start, no, we had a heads start. Got kicked out a goddamn window by a chick, bombed by psychos and a few run ins with Brandon Smith... It's all too much for me... the blood... violence... screams of agony from guests being eaten and raped. But I still continued fighting... until now...
Deep in the corridors of the building's 4th floor, Barry limps his way out of a room filled with 5 dead bodies, with a bullet hole on his right leg, a heavy load of blood leaks out the hole with his hand on the wound trying to stop the bleeding as he tries to reach the closed elevator that opens revealing Terry without his jacket and his hair untidy.
Terry: Barry! [He runs up to Barry who almost falls over, grabbing him and placing Barry's arm over his shoulder to help him stand.] Fucking hell, I thought you died from the bombing.
Barry: [Speaks weakly] Ah... You know me. Ha. I'm hard to kill.
Terry: Yeah. Come on. It's time, we get the hell out of here. [They begin walking towards the elevator.]
Barry: What... about the money?
Terry: There is no money. The fat bastard lied about the reward, he just wanted everyone to kill one another.
Barry: Son of... tch... a bitch.
Terry: Yeah...
Before they could reach the elevator, its door close.
Terry: Ah. Damnit... [He looks at the numbers on the elevator seeing them going down.]
Barry: There's still people in this damn building?
Terry: Yeah... and they more bloodthirsty. [The numbers stop on the 1st and go back up once Terry presses the button to call the elevator.]
The elevator doors open and a man wearing a black suit with a white sheep mask with ears and has black gloves on, his eyes are seen emitting a glowing yellow color.
Sheep guy: oh, hello there.
Terry: [He pulls out his handgun and aims at the man.] Stand back, pal.
Sheep guy: Alright sure, sure. [He stands back in a corner to allow them both in.]
Terry: [Upon entering the elevator, Terry still aims his gun at the man.]
Barry: [He presses the elevator button to take them to the floor that the boss is in.]
Terry: What are you doing?
Barry: He lied to us... We need to kill him for all those deaths.
Terry: No. Let the ZX handle that.
Sheep guy: Hate to burst your bubble but Elvis is planning on leaving this building with a helicopter. The Zx won't be able to reach him in time, especially with people still hunting them.
Terry: Tch...
Barry: Are you hunting them?
Sheep guy: No. I was heading towards the same floor as you guys.
Barry: Why?
Sheep guy: To kill him.
Terry: Hmmm.... [He puts his gun down.]
Barry: What for?
Sheep guy: He has something of mine... something precious.
Barry: Okay.
[In the large office.]
Boss: [He pants in panic as he walls around his office gathering things he seems important such as: the paintings of himself, "the best boss in the world" cup, his brief-case filled with money and the most important being a document with a black cover and a red text that says "Project Night Parade" he carefully places the document in his luggage filled with other stuff. He zips up his luggage before seeing his doors blown down by a small explosion, and in the smoke, he sees The Holden brothers walking in with a man wearing a sheep mask.] TCH!!
Terry: You!
Boss: Tsk... Holdens! My two favorite twins in the world!
Terry shoots the man in the shoulder causing him to scream in pain before hyperventilating.
Boss: You... piece of shit!!
Terry: You lied to us. To every one in this building!
Boss: Tsk... [He looks at Terry furiously before looking at the man wearing a sheep mask.] You... [pants.] Hundred million... if you kill these two RIGHT NOW.
The man in the sheep mask swiftly grabs Terry's gun out of his hands and aims the gun directly at the injured brother, Barry.
Sheep guy: I'll kill him if you try anything Terry.
Terry: !!
Boss: Do it! If you don't the money to be less, KILL THEM BOTH! No survivors...
Sheep guy: [Chuckles before aiming the gun at the boss] Oh Tommy. Always making false promises.
Boss: [Grunts.] Who are you?
Sheep guy: I go by many names... But no doubt you KNOW who u am. The one in that document you have.
Boss: [He's eyes widen in fear as he starts moving and falling back.] It... can't be.
Sheep Guy: Awww. You scared now? Just give me the document and You'll get to see the tomorrow.
Boss: W-what about them? [He looks at the Holden brothers.]
Sheep Guy: [He looks at Terry and in an instant, he fires a shot to his head; piercing through and out skull, killing Terry.]
Barry stares in horror as his brother falls aside to the ground before looking at the masked man who fires 4 direct shots to his chest dropping him aswell. With both Holdens down, The masked man looks at the Boss with a tilted head and one bullet remaining in the gun chamber.
Sheep guy: Terry Holden and Barry Holden are dead now. So... The document.
Boss: Tsk... I... S-sure! [He unzips his luggage and takes the document out] Here it is.
Sheep Guy: Sweeeeet. [He pulls the trigger firing the last shot that pierces through the boss's skull. He sighs before dropping the gum and walking up to the dead body ro retrieve the document.] Night parade... [He opens to the first page of the document and sees the general information of himself] hmhm... [He smirks before closing and dropping the document that combusts into flames. He looks at the incinerating book before turning around and walking out the exit.]
Minutes after the man in the sheep mask as left, Barry wakes up groining in pain before rubbing his chest; feeling the deformed bullets on the hidden ballistic vest.
Barry: [He chuckles in relief for having the vest on and slowly gets up from the ground. He then limps his way to his brother and kneels down on sadness.] Terry... [sniffs back tears] I'm... [sniffs again while putting a palm down on his brother's chest] So sorry.
In the quiet and sorrowful moment, a faint white light appears from the surroundings, catching Barry's attention as he feels heavy tremors making him question even more on what's happening. White particles with red outlines appear flowing upwards around him before it all flashes in a big white color blinding him for 30 seconds. Afterwards, Barry finds himself on a bed big enough for 2 people. There is a ceiling light in the center of the room that is on and a Black small television playing on a black stand.
Barry: Uh. Where– (A female scream Startles and interrupts his saying, he flinches and turns his sight to the female in a towel with her black long shouldered hair wet, standing at a the door to the bathroom.) !! [He manages to quickly get off the bed despite his injuries, stand at her frightened direction with his hands raised to calm her.] Whoa... uhm...
Lady: What are you doing in my bed room?!?
Barry: Uhm... I uh... nothing. I got... teleported here... [He says in an uncertain tone.]
Lady: Get out or I'm... I'm calling the cops.
Barry: Sure thing, ma'am.
Barry slowly walks to the bedroom door before stopping right at the door to turn his head back to watch the news playing on the television after hearing the words "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry everyone" said by Odiz Olams.
[Male news speaker]: You all heard that correctly folks. The ZX has not only failed to do what they promised to us but they have brought about chaos to us ALL...
Barry: This... Can't be. [He looks at the news in complete shock before looking at the lady who still waiting for him to leave.] What... What's today's date?
Lady: T-The 2nd of January...
Barry: Year?
Lady: 2024.
Barry: [He looks at her with his eyes wide on shock and mouth open.] 20–– Uhm... sorry. [He says before exiting the room.]
