{Zain}: Something or better someone is here with us. We might have entered their territory.
{???}: Your sure are right pal. *Speaks from the shadows and extends hand making it the only thing visible* Come on shake my hand, don't you know its rude to not great a new friend.
And now
{Zain}: Is it okay if I just said hello?
{???}: Tisk, Tisk. You outsiders are always on something. *Comes out from the shadows* The name's Ted, Ted the butcher.
{Hazel}: *scared and nervous* H- hi am Hazel a- and this is Z- Zain. Nice to meet you... Ted.
{Ted}: AHH we got a polite young lad don't we lads? Come on, we need to go before He finds us. *Starts walking*
{Zain}: Wait³ who's he?
{Ted}: What do you mean who's he- oh yeah, outsiders *slaps his head* always forget about that. He goes with multiple name's or forms depending on what his doing so we just call him He to make it easier for us.
{Hazel}: *scared* Wait- there's more of you!?
{Ted}: If you put it that way yes, there's more of us. You coming oh not? *Enters vent*
{Hazel}: ... *Looks at Zain in desperation* What are we going to do?
{Zain}: Best choice is following him. *Enters vent*
{Hazel}: Sometimes I wonder if anyone has brain cells in these type of situations. *Entersvent*
Meanwhile somewhere else deep in the research facility
{Saber}: *slowly gaining consciousness* Mmmmm, what an interesting plot to that story. Did you guys find what you where looking for? ... Hello- where am I? Looks a bit... Darker than I remember. Hello!? Zee, Pinky! Ohh this is pointless. Where am I in the first places
{Hazel}: Saber! *Out of breath* I finally found you.
{Saber}: Of course she has to be the first person I have to find and see. Where's Zain?
{Hazel}: He's, been taken by the inhabitants of this cursed place. I managed to escape and he told me that I should find you while he handles the others.
{Saber}: Inhab- there's actually living beings in here!?
{Hazel}: W- why are you acting as if you knew but didn't have enough resources to prove it?
{Saber}: The moment I stepped in here I knew- ... Hold on. Specifically, where is Zain?
{Hazel}: Uh- I... I don't know, I've actually lost track-
{Saber}: Don't care, lets get a move on.
{Hazel}: *annoyed* Okay.
15 minutes later
Somewhere deeper
{Hazel}: A- are you sure your going the right way?
{Saber}: I don't know. You tell me, you ran away to find me so you should recollect at least a thing or two.
{Hazel}: O- oh, I mean they look the same but I'll try. Ummmmm, lets try this way. *Leads the way*
{Saber}: *follows*
{Shadow}: Are you sure about this?
{Saber}: Positive, after all they are leading me to what I want.
{Hazel}: *left eye turns yellow*
LOCATION: worn-down artificial park
{Ted}: Welcome to one of my safe post, a few minutes before he hit the safe zone. So, have any questions before we continue with our journey?
{Zain}: A couple actually. I know this place shut down due to some illegal smuggling and trafficking but looks like something more happened here.
{Hazel}: Also what is even happening!?
{Ted}: Fair enough. Well it is true about what you said but there's much, much more of what happened in here. Ever wondered how they managed to produce top tier magic artefacts, objects- stuff like that? The truth is ever since this place got a new "boss" she did things no one thought would be possible. For starters she experimented on workers who had no public background like friends or family.
{Zain}: So she experimented on then and transforming them into monster like hybrids?
{Ted}: Yeah, some from this world most from others. And we had some that had their sanity and the others... Not so lucky and became mindless beast that followed orders.
{Hazel}: So your telling me that the one chasing us was one of the mindless ones?
{Ted}: Which one was he?
{Zain}: Green, humanoid slime about 18'8 ft tall.
{Ted}: *thinking hard* Oh you must be talking about Arai. Well he may be mindless but still intelligent and also works for, *laughs* well Him. Surprised you escaped *picks up food supply's* as I was saying, the new experiments where having their life force or magic extracted from them then one thing led to another, they started to kidnap random humans, elf's hack even aliens then the day thee truth was about to be exposed they did a last ditch effort b cursing this place.
{Hazel}: C- C- C- cursing?
{Ted}: Hey, don't worry it only affects those who where in the building during that day. So now where stuck here.
{Hazel}: O- oh, sorry about that. Must be hard for you to live like this.
{Ted}: it's no Biggie. Were trying to survive until we meet our end.
{Zain}: *realized something* Hold on, what happened to the employees? Including the CEO of this place?
{Ted}: ... *Put's food supply in satchel* not gonna lie some died, some were forced to become one of us then the rest... Not sure if they escaped or die. Since Arai knows your here it will be impossible for you to escape from the main entrance so we have to find another way out. *Walks to secure door and enters code in number pad* you coming lads? *Walksfurther*
{Hazel}: Coming! *About to move but stopped by Zain* Zain? What's I matter?
{Zain}: Something isn't right. This doesn't feel right- I don't know how, so be careful and don't let your guard down, Kay?
{Hazel}: *sigh* Ok, thanks for the update. *Heading towards the door*
{Zain}: *checks phone* of course no signal but is it still... That's odd. ! Hold on wait for me!
Somewhere deeper in the abandon laboratory
{Saber}: *enters room* ... Uhhh, are you sure you last saw Zain in here?
{Hazel}: Positive! Why? You have doubts?
{Saber}: Pretty much. For starters, who or what are you?
{Hazel}: Wha- what are you talking about? Look I know you still don't what me around but I can he- *gets impaled by giant blade from the back* ... So you knew? What gave it away?
{Saber}: Nothing, I just wanted an excuse to do something and get a jail free card.
{Hazel}: Impressive, quite impressive. One without morals I enjoy that.
{Saber}: From what I can tell, you shape shift and have their memories too, who are you?
{Hazel}: *mischievous laugh* Oh it's not who I am or what I am but more of what am going to do to you! *Forcefully removes blade brutally* The name's Ovo, the name I was given in this hand made paradise and if you don't mind me asking, if you knew I wasn't the girl why did you follow me?
{Saber}: I've got reason's. *materialize dual swords*
{Ovo}: *transforms into a 10 year old boy* Gi, think fas- *Saber teleports behind Ovo*
Fatal impale
{Saber}: That was easy, for sure that didn't kill you, the wonder's of possibility. After am done I'll look for the others when I get the chance.
