Hades got up, the blood spattered on his face and an evil grin forming. He saw the charred bones from his comrades fighting that thing and he lavished in the face of pain and confusion from the boy that tried so desperately to save his comrades. The blood drooling from his mouth as his eyes grew vacant and his corpse slid of Hades arm and fell into the ground. Hades wiped the blood onto his already red cape and cracked his neck. He had a kink in his neck that couldn't be fixed until this moment. Atelos' meat suit was tight, especially tight for fitting two souls. His breathing was heavy and Hades could feel the sleeping Spartan in the back of his mind.
"There there Spartan, Sleep peaceful. It's my turn to play." The grin on his face grew and the milkiness of his eyes contrasted the darkness of the room, but manage to resemble the same fog that left this place so isolated from the world. Hades felt the darkness but it contrasted nothing to Tartarus. He couldn't help but chuckle at the futility of this place's attempt to scare him.
Hades walked away from the smell of burning flesh and ashes and walked through the hallway. Another white door came up on the side. Hades thought of the Paladin and how…expectant he would be of the two…especially now that the squad "Atelos" had led had been killed with him the only survivor. He opened the door to see a pile of boxes and the horrible stench of rotting. Hades covered his nose and peered through the veil of stench in order to search for anything of worth. The brown cardboard boxes pilled high and he opened the top box to reveal moldy bread and rotten meat. He heard squeaks and glared at the corner, rats scurried across the floor.
How did these things survive? His eyes trailed across to rats scurrying through and climbing into a few boxes of the moldy food. Hades gave up on the boxes and walked towards the opposite side of the room where metal shelves decorated the barren room. Hades picked up a can, "Canned Corn." This stuff sounded disgusting…why would anyone want corn in a can? Hades would never understand mortals and their obsession with preserving things. He emptied a box full of the rotten, apples that fell on the ground, only increasing their bruises. He filled the box with the things that Argento would be at least satisfied with. Canned corn, refried beans, the works. Hades cleared the entire shelf and he noticed something plastic that hit the rest of the metal. He picked it up and noticed a label on the side.
"Janitor Colin Audible Diary" in bolded black. He put it in the box. The sorcerer would have to explain this to him, he was not familiar with technology but was at least more competent that the spartan. He looked over to the side to see the Janitor's Closet next door. He heard scurrying but he dismissed it due to the rodents. He opened the door to his, well not horror but to his amusement, was something bound together by barbed wire. A scrawny person was bound, with his feet to his head, with barbed wire, cutting into his eyes and heels. His hands were flying everywhere as groaned and tried to grab for Hades. His hands eventually found Hades leg and he pulled himself to it before his brain matter splattered the wall. Hades wiped 'his' shield on the floor getting rid of the grime that he had just been forced to endure.
His magic box came to life and the Sorcerer was on the other end of it. “Spartan, are you out there?”
“Sorcerer?” His voice revealed his nature and the gruffness of it seemed to cause a pause in the Sorcerer.
“I have some bad news to tell you, Atelos.” Shang spoke as Hades picked up the box and exited the door leading into the hall.
“The people you took with you are dead, aren’t they?” His smile revealed great satisfaction that he wasn't alone. The sorcerer seemed abruptly surprised by the sudden change in character.
Yes,” Shang replied. “We were ambushed by some of those nurses, and they were killed.”
“Pathetic.”Atelos rasped. “We were attacked by some… I don’t know what the hell it was, but it killed the people I was with. This place is more dangerous than the paladin thought. I’m left to wonder if he’s even still alive.”
His voice seemed hopeful, the sorcerer was the only person worth dealing with. He was the most competent out of all of the group and Hades needed him.
“I’m sure he is… have you found anything?”
“Just a lot of dust, corpses, and monsters. This feels like a waste of our time, Sorcerer.”
“I agree. I’ll meet you back in the lobby in twenty, deal?” The Spartan grunted and the line went dead. At least Hades knew how to use the damned device. The Spartan would have spent the twenty minutes trying to figure out how to even turn the damned thing on. Hades decided to return with the box in hand. I'm sure that the Sorcerer didn't mean if he found anything of use. Well…food was of no use to him.
Hades began to walk back to the lobby but the line came back on and Hades looked down questioningly.
“Spartan, you don’t need to respond to this. I found something interesting in an old computer, so I’m going to go investigate something on the second floor. Try not to get stabbed.”
Hades smiled for a second before frowning, he had reached the dining room that was just about to go back to the Lobby and he sighed. Damned sorcerer couldn't tell him earlier…he put his hand to his forehead in thought.
"Might as well chase after the sorcerer." He looked down in his box and saw the plastic device that Hades had so many questions about.
"Might as well take this…he might be able to tell me what this is…and even if it is useful or not." Hades picked up the mystery device and put it with the other magic box before he turned around and began to chase after Shang.
