Leon caught the pool cues as the seemingly wounded younger man tossed a few to him. He quickly maneuvered around and jammed three or four of them into the door handles. They weren't the strongest thing he could've used to barricade the door, but they were the quickest and should still provide enough reinforcement for the mean-time.

"Thanks," Leon turned to the kid from before "You doing okay? Look a little rough around the edges." Leon approached the boy and tried to see what was wrong. "I have some green herbs if that will help." He didn't know if they would, but he couldn't resist helping someone in need.

Chapter Three
“The Detour”

The Story So Far
After the group managed to defeat Killer Croc, they eventually found a freight elevator which brought them up into the facility. Here, the group split into two.

One group went to the Research Facility, where they were met with several strange, demonic looking creatures. There, they found an imp creature and a little girl, both of which were being tortured by a strange device for unknown reasons. Sub Zero smashed the glass on the device, causing it to break down and explode, which led to the monsters breaking into the room and attacking the group. After a short-lived fight, the imp and girl revealed themselves as Midna and Willow respectively, though neither could remember how or why they were here. With this in mind, they decided to stick with the group for answers.

In the Simulation Room, the group there was dosed with a heavy dose of an enhanced fear toxin, and were forced to fight each other’s fears. After several long and hard battles, they conquered their fears, and not soon after the room began to tear and crumple around them. They were met by a mysterious, slender figure donning a strange mask, who began moving towards them as the room collapsed, causing the group to make a swift escape.

After all this, they met back up in the hallway with Leo. Not long after, Cobblepot’s voice appeared over the intercom, revealing he knew that they were stuck in the facility. After this, Cobblepot sent an army of shadow beasts after the group, which subsequently led to them boarding themselves up in a lounge room as they tried to find an escape. Unfortunately, Steve died in the hoard of beasts.

Meanwhile, Steve awoke in a lab with a mysterious note on his chest…

After inputting every possible combination, the bookcase made a click noise at “312”. With that, it slowly slid open, revealing a dark passageway.

“Everyone! In here!” Leo shouted as he quickly jumped off the barricade he was holding and ran towards the door, the rest of you following suit. However, Jerome was sadly caught in the hoard before he could make his way to the room. The last thing you would all see before the shelf closed was Jerome being tackled to the ground, pieces of armor flying in the air soon after.

The passageway was dark, making it hard to see where you were going, though not impossible. It wasn’t the sewer, at least, although water did occasionally drop from the “ceiling”, if you could even call it that. It was more-so just a poorly boarded up wall, with old, rotting wooden planks lined above you throughout. You all appeared to be walking in… mud? It didn’t have the smell of the sewer, so it probably wasn’t sewage. Probably.

Throughout the trek in the oddly cold corridor, you all eventually found a split in the path. One split off to the left and the other to the right. Of course, you had no idea would befall you as you pushed forward, however it appeared as though splitting up would probably be best once more.


As Steve peeled the strange note off his chest, he would find the words “Welcome Back - O.C.” written crudely in black marker. It didn’t take a genius to figure that “O.C.” probably stood for “Oswald Cobblepot.” After reading the note, Steve would find himself in a… destroyed lab of some sorts. With nothing else to do, and probably the fact that Cobblepot was watching him, it appeared that the best course of action would be to investigate the lab.

Sub Zero observed the paths before them. He had tried to save Jerome, but he was too late as the beasts overwhelmed him. His freezing powers could only do so much. The Grandmaster did not know what secrets lay beyond these paths, but his gut instinct told him to go right. So, he went right.

"I will go right. Whoever is travelling with me please stay out of my way."

TANDEM, THE ITALIAN SWINDLER

Tandem immediately took notice of Leonardo's words and followed him to the newly found passageway with his bottle of alcohol still in hand, he's not willing to drop it just yet because he wanted to finish it all, it was a pretty enjoyable drink. Looks like Tandem haven't ran out of luck just yet but he mostly blamed his survival towards the team's resourcefulness and to that girl he talked to earlier back in the warehouse, good job Shiki! The Italian Swindler is glad he managed to be acquainted with the tough looking gal. Tandem laughed in relief, glad that he didn't get caught by the shadow beasts but partly because of Jerome's misfortune. Sucks for that guy. . . Maybe laughing at his death was a bit too mean-spirited but due to how tipsy he was, he didn't care!

The Italian Swindler wanted to take another drink but maybe it was better to drink the alcohol when they were all finally safe, wouldn't want to get drunk and wasted in the middle of a life threatening situation. . . Wait, is he already getting addicted to this stuff?! Tandem sighed, shaking his head to get himself back to reality as he followed the group until they eventually reached another fucking split path. Again?! Seriously?!! Tandem growled in anger. Not only are his shoes now wet with disgusting ol' mud, but they're gonna have to split up again with no indication with what lies ahead.

"The right is always right." Tandem said, tempted to drink again.​

None, so far!

My suspicions were correct; the bookshelf is the way out! At least now, we don't have to fend off those shadowy beasts anymore, unless if they somehow deduce that the bookshelf is where we would then come through. So I run towards the entrance as I look back, seeing the rest try to run for it. Unfortunately, one of us isn't so lucky, as I could make out the person in armor being mauled to death... I would run back to save him, but seeing as I would've died during some futile attempt to do so, I quickly continue onwards, eventually making my way into the corridor.

I'm sorry, Jerome.

...​

It's dark. Yet, due to my Faunus nature, I was able to see well under this condition, anyway. In the midst of the way through the passageway, I had sheathed Gambol Shroud, saving it for in case we run into trouble. The water, and mud, did not bother me as much as the sewage did... Come to think of it, I was grateful I didn't trip and fall, or else, well, I would've come out looking worse than ADAM DID. At least by then, I wouldn't be murdering innocents just for some cause. So I close my eyes, taking a deep breath, and--

Wh--What the?! I quickly unsh--sheathe my weapon, narrowing what appeared to be that...that awfully familiar sight! Was that him?!

N--No, just me... I then s--slowly put away Gambol Shroud on my back. When will I get a break..?

...​

Again with the splitting paths. As if we've already had enough. I sigh. Now, where to go... Left, right, left, right, anything could happen within those two. The left side could be dangerous, same with the right, but then again, we're not too sure. So...

Eeny, meeny, miney, moe. Catch the White Fang by the toe. If they holler, let it go, eeny, meeny, miny...

Moe.

Right side it is. Hold on--That ninja who punched through the glass back at the lab is going too, but he doesn't want to have anyone else in his way. Hmmm. Since he really needs a reminder about what he has to do as part of a team in order to survive, I shall follow him and talk him out of his selfish ways. So, I went through the right side, looking at the ninja.

"Hey. We need to talk."

  The bookshelf revealed a secret passage soon enough. Lyle shook his head. Time to go.
  
  "Everyone, let's go!"
  
  He waited until Rin, Len, and Takemi passed through before he followed after them. As they ran, he periodically checked his Map to see where the monsters chasing them had reached. They were not close. But still not far enough for his comfort. Not even by a large margin.
  
  His breath remained steady, proof of his ample exercise despite his status as an emperor. Rin was carrying Double on her back. The woman seemed unconscious.
  
  "Rin, is she alright?" Lyle asked as they ran. He should gave her a check once they could rest. She wasn't in his party anymore, but it didn't mean he would like her dead. Everyone here, whether he like it or not, was his comrades.
  
  There was one guy he rather not consider a comrade, though.
  
  They continued to run. The passage was musty. The air was humid. But the red dots behind them remained chasing relentlessly. Then they met a change in the monotonous passage. A junction. Right or left.
  
  At time like this, splitting was intuitive. Their number was large enough so they could go against any sudden ambush. If one of the passage was a dead end... Well, at least half of them would survive. Lyle hesitated at the intersection. Which path he should take? His Map showed no difference between the two.
  
  
  "I will go right. Whoever is travelling with me please stay out of my way."
  ​
  Speaking of guy he rather not consider a comrade...
  
  Picking was suddenly easier. Lyle turned left unhesitatingly and advanced forward. He turmed his head and beckoned his party to hurry as well.
  
  "Let's go. Left should at least be more peaceful."
  
  Going with glass-breaking, ignorant, arrogant grown man? No thanks. He rather dealt with the monster tide.
  
  "Come! We shall soon reach safety."
  
  Or not. But it would still be better than being with the thick skulled ice wizard.

Everythimg went down too fast for Soma to comprehend the situation. One thing the group got back together, but then the shadow beasts started attacking and two people died as a result. Just then, the bookcase opened up and everyone went in like its a Black Friday sale. Fortunately, Soma got back with his usual group. "Leon, Yuma, Negan, glad you're all alright." He says. By then, the group ended up in a forked path once more. Soma turned to the group and say "Both paths can lead to the same danger as before. How about we go...right?"

Sub Zero led the way, his icy aura lighting the path before the group. One of his 'allies' wanted to talk to him. When he saw it wasn't the arrogant young punk he let out a soft sigh. "There is nothing to talk about. We must be on the lookout for danger at any moment."

Kuai felt that he was right. These people have given him no reason to trust them, even if they had been fighitng to survive. He had friends and allies, but they were not of this realm. Was he being too callous? No. He couldn't form friendshps. They could die at any moment.

You had barely made it out with the group. You were one of the last to get through the book case opening... but... god you barely remember what happened. After running from that slender tall figure, things became a blur again... god why were you still here.. you could easily leave, you’re a demon!! And yet here you are following a group of simpletons around... you guess... you’d feel bad if you just left them all here though... but now, you had snapped out of your little daydream state. You had gone... left... with a few others... this was just getting more and more complicated to you... why did everyone have to split up, you had all just reunited and before you had, things weren’t going very well!!

“.. h... haha... g-guess I’ll uh... g-go left with you guys...”

Your side was still in quite a lot of pain from being thrown like, 150 feet. You keep your hand on your gut as you walk, mumbling a few weak profanities... you just wanted to get out of here... but... you did feel a sense of pride from fighting back that... Alphonse creature... hehe...

“S... so.... uh....”

You stop mid sentence and decide to actually say nothing to anyone else haha.

She scratched her chin more looking even more confused than before and finally just shrugged.

Leon looked at the kid as he introduced himself as Lyle Walt. He smiled and for a moment he felt like coming here wasn't such a bad thing. He was meeting such interesting new people after all. "Name's Leo--" Just as Leon was going to introduce himself the crack and splinter of the pool cues ricocheted across the room and those monsters from earlier tore into one of the other heroes.

The bookcase slid open and following everyone else Leon ran inside. He somewhat fell behind Lyle and coincidentally running into the same group as before he suggested "We don't have much time and right sounds right!" Leon sprinted forward down the right side of the tunnel with the others only glancing over his shoulder to see Lyle disappearing into the opposite hallway.

He looked at Yuma as he did and gave her a relieved smile, but now wasn't the time for reunions.

The girl sits back once done as she watches the results as the others arrive to her position, rolling her eyes at the shouts to hurry and the pointing out of the obvious "It's not like anything would really change, we have just as much time that's required...Though I would be ready to move away from the door, as soon as this opens they are going to break in immediately after most likely, this world seems prone to overused cliches...though I suppose it could have been more complicated, at least it wasn't having to play Moonlight Sonata or something" gesturing offhandedly putting her hands to their pockets and casting a look to those who are still incapacitated and leaning against the wall and tilting her head to the opening, she may as well wait for everyone to get through before following less someone gets mauled by the shadows again. Though the more she thinks about it, the more she seems to recall something "Hmm Mass amounts of shadows summoned by a misused power...This does feel a little familiar" looking to Shirou and Saber for a second as the thought runs, oh right, that failed relic ritual in Fuyuki City...it is a shame how many time that city was wiped from the map,

Back to the current topic though she keeps her eyes on the group, there was a slowly growing list of people she wanted to ensure the safety for at least, Shirou and Saber for that connection she can respect and the familiarity by looking for them, Katrina for her innocence that reminded her of Mikaya, though she supposed if she didn't at least try for the rest then those may be upset by the ordeal, Though the moment they let go it was clear how fragile the barricade had been made with the death of the green armoured man, proving her prediction true to the second, slicing several down as a wave of them exploded before the door closed shut, the advantage of these squandered building materials at least was that it she needed to put effort into breaking them, it meant the shadows had little chance. So without a further word, she proceeds down the hall behind the rest taking note of the distance travelled and running it through her mind, so when she finally arrived at the fork she had that information to use and lightly scratch the path taken into the wall, including the previous Lab and Simulation room turns and the sewer taking into account elevation then stepping back to look at the map.

Provided no convenient remodelling of the facility, this would eventually need to connect to the area with the white room the group initially woke up in, somehow....and given the direction the transports took off in that area would be to the perimeter. After a bit of base logical thinking, she finally turns to the group has been in silence as she created the map on the wall, letting the last of the thoughts run through her mind.

After looking to each "Right will take is to were we need to be eventually..."

Alphonse Elric

Right after Leo, Alphonse quickly got off the door and headed towards the exit.

For the sake of his own mental well-being, Alphonse tried not to think about the man who had just died during their escape. It was just too much. Quietly and quickly he entered another area with the group. It was a dank and dark tunnel system with few lights to spare. Unfortunately right after the groups had rejoined, another spilt in paths occurred. This time there was absolutely no indication of what each path led to. One could be filled with puppies and kittens and the other with fiery lava for all he knew. This choice would have to truly be based off of chance and the how the other members decided to spilt up.

He saw the Xingese man, the cat eared girl, the girl with the gun, what he assumed was her father, and a guy with a bat head towards the right path while the blue haired boy’s group and the demon boy decided on going to the left. As of now, the latter group seemed to be a bit lacking in members when compared to the other way so he went with them to the left. With his prepubescent voice, he introduced himself to those he hadn’t done to before.

“Would it be alright if I joined you guys? My name is Alphonse Elric”


Quickly after he turned towards the demon man. He felt terrible for what his personification of his inner fears had done to the stranger and he wanted to apologize for it. Though it may just be selfishness, but he didn’t want to bring up want had happened in front of the others. From what Alphonse had remembered, most of the group had gone into the research facility so they wouldn’t have known anything that had happened in the simulation room. For now, he wanted to keep it that way until he was ready to come clean.

Aeon & Double​

Aeon grabs the thread of some kid's yoyo as she thanks them. She looks at Rin's pin as she proceeds to tie the thread and pin together, it should be good enough for stitching, she's done this with her eyes closed. Aeon signaled Double to open her mouth, she extended it to the point where she could fit. "Rin, just carry Double. My weight will not add to her weight. I should become small once I enter Gehenna.", she proceeds to jump down the mouth of Double as she lands somewhere near her heart and kidneys. Once Aeon entered, Double shut her mouth as she proceeded to transform into a small bird and sit on Rin's lap. She makes Rin look at her and say, "Please take good care of me, I'll gladly follow any request you make." She proceeded to tweet and land on top of Rin's hair, it made a good nest. Her bleeding has stopped due to Aeon's spell, she was glad that she found her, who knows how much blood she will bleed if it hasn't been treated. She tweets to Lyle, "As we don't have much time and Lyle seems to be the leader of this party, I agree with his decision." As Double was perched on top of Rin's hair, "Now, where is her stomach located?", Aeon says to herself. She proceeded to tie her hair into one braid, Aeon looks around for where the stomach is, with the amount of teeth and eyes inside her, it would make a person insane. She spotted a bunch of skeletons, it was the stomach, there was a small pool of blood. "Looks like I'll have to get dirty."

Judging by what he did before, and after, he said to look out for any upcoming danger, he probably said it to try to distract us from catching on. Well, if anything, I still need to address his issue with coordination among others, because he most likely hasn't been in a team before. I don't know, though. Maybe he has been in a team, but his emotions got the best of him. Maybe he did poorly in a team that then kicked him out. Either way, it needs to be addressed now, rather than later, because I do not believe holding off something important is as beneficial to dealing with it right now.

Sub Zero continued to lead the path, keeping an eye out for the slightest mishap. That giant beast could attack at anymoment, and should he come busting out of a wall or even from below, The Grandmaster would be ready. Blake's question did break through his senses though, in the fact that he had never really considered an answer. He had worked with others in the past, as an ally to stop a larger threat, but on a team? He usually worked alone.

Willow dashed through the bookcase door along with the rest of her rather-large group. Willow took some time yet again to catch her breath as she examined the split path ahead of them, as well as the groups going with them. While the right group seemed to have a lot of the heavy fighters, she could also feel some kind of tension in between the members of it. That sort of thing usually lead to arguments, and the little pyromaniac had no interest in baring witness to that.

Willow lit her lighter because of how dark the tunnel was, and then announced to everyone, "I'm going with the left group." She then searched the ground for a stray piece of wood or anything she could use as a torch. It wouldn't be a good idea to keep having her lighter lit, it wasn't infinite, and the thought of being in a mostly dark tunnel with no light or flame put a kind of fear through her body.

Those of you who headed left would eventually be stopped as you reached a tall, steel door. The door had a handle for a wheel, although it appeared to be quite rusty, signifying that it hadn't been used very often. With enough effort, you eventually managed to get the wheel moving, opening the door in the process. You all gathered into a small room which, oddly enough, was entirely different from the dank corridor you'd just all found yourselves in. The room itself was well lit and appeared to be a control room of some sorts. The room itself had a few wooden tables inside, with nothing more than some empty coffee mugs and plates on top.

The most interesting thing about the room, perhaps, were the life sized security stations, which had screens plastered throughout. Each monitor displayed a different room of the facility, some of which being ones which you visited before. The research facility, simulation room, lounge room, even the white room, all of them were here. One thing that stood out, however, was a panel of buttons that sat on the desk connected to the large server. They appeared to all be rooms to select, although two stood out in particular: one labeled VAULT and the other labeled MAIN OFFICE.

Those of you who headed to the right would eventually be met with a green push-door. After pushing it open and continuing, you would find a... less than favorable sight.

There, in front of all of you, was a Shadow Beast. However, it had been chained up to the wall by its wrists and ankles. Needles and scalpels which sat on a small table to the side, which were covered in black ooze, made it clear that this creature had been experimented on. The creature itself showed little signs of struggle, but rather was barely moving inside of its chains, breathing heavily through deep grunts.

"Oh my gods..." Midna muttered, who had went this way alongside all of you. She floated up towards the beast and cupped its cheek, seeming to sympathize with the creature for a moment. "This shadow beast... it's in great pain." She explained, great sorrow in her voice. With this in mind, you all had the option to either free the beast or leave it chained up.

You look back at Alphonse...

“O... oh hey... yeah... you can uh... come with us if you want... g... glad to see you’re alive and all haha... uh...”

You mumble half way through the sentence and go silent. You just felt worse and worse about this whole... facility...!!!

“O-oh uh... sure I guess haha... we can uh... talk about that-“

You were interrupted as your group entered a new room... a much cleaner, well lit room... you look around a few of the taller people in the group to see what the room was like.

“W-woah... uh... this is... new... interesting and stuff... its... like some surveillance room... what do you guys think is in it...?”

You prayed it wasn’t another being you had to fight....

Shiki strolls towards them with a cold stare downwards before turning to look to the Imp as well for several moments sighing and shaking her head "It either acknowledges those that take pity on it or it attacks, either way, its pain is going to end" casually going towards a chain and running her fingers along a section of it, seemingly the weak link as if successful the link would fall in 2 cleanly cut, before doing the same to any others holding the beast, FREEING THE BEAST, failing that a more direct cut using the blade or the strength of her artificial arm.. However all the while she remains ready to act upon it if need be. As she stated before, offer on hand and arm the other...it didn't matter in the end which they chose so the one which removed the Imps distraction had no real negative to it.

Turning to the Imp afterwards provided no direct outburst from the creature "Shadow beasts like this are were most plentiful when summoned by a corrupted mage ritual and artefact in my world, what are they in yours?" keeping her other hand within the sash as she speaks and an eye on the creature.

TANDEM, THE ITALIAN SWINDLER

Tandem took a look at the shadow beast with a sign of skepticism in his face while rubbing his chin in thought and putting his other hand on his hip with the bottle of alcohol still in hand, he wanted to free the poor thing but it would most likely mindlessly attack them or maybe this is just a trap but on the other hand, it might help us get the hell out of this place but let's face it, this is the real world, that shit ain't gonna happen or so Tandem thinks. There's just no way this being is smart enough to actually realize we're helping it but then again, this world proved itself to be full of surprises so The Italian Swindler is kind of torn between two decisions here.

"What do you guys think, should we free it?" Tandem asked the group around him.​

Ritsu​

Ritsu stared up at the security stations, instantly recognizing a number of the rooms being displayed on the monitors. She had followed after the small group that had headed left, hoping for the best and expecting worse as was the tendency to happen in recent events, but she certainly wasn't expecting such a find.

"I think this might be the same place where Cobblepot and Deathstroke were monitoring us." The AI voiced her suspicions out loud for the rest of the group to hear, not once bothering to take her eyes off of the screens.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Ritsu's code reached out to infiltrate the computers. Perhaps she'd be able to actually extract some useful information out of these, rather than be blocked off like she was last time. If there was one thing that they needed more than anything, it was intel that would give them an edge over who they were fighting against.

Yuma
Yuma stared at the beast with pity. She wasn’t sure if it was a good idea but she wanted to free it.
“I don’t think anything deserves to be experimented on like this... I think we should free it!”
She looked at everyone else in the room waiting for their responses as well.
