They've run inside at the giant mansion. Brenda and Jake, sat at the stairs—while catching their breaths. They've replenish their missing stamina in no time, when Brock, suddenly called in their communication Radio.
"I couldn't believe—what happened to Abdul!"
"Steeled yourself, Brenda. You can't execute a task, if you're mind was clouded!"
"You're right, Jake. There's no time to grieve—"
"Brenda! Can you hear me?"
"—Yes, Brock. I can hear you, loud and clear!"
"I found some data about the mansion! There's a communication system…"
"…located at the 3rd floor if you manage to explore the whole mansion, Brenda."
"Thanks for the intel, Brock!"
The communication line between, Brenda and Brock, immediately ended. She quickly gathered the squad for a quick briefing.
"Listen, guys! In order to explore this mansion—fast. We need to split into two groups!"
"That was a good idea, Brenda. We'll be able to finish this job—"
"I don't want to be part of any team! I rather solo!"
"—That's, the 'top 1!' rookie for you!"
"Why're your brows… fighting each other, Jake!?"
"I'm not in the mood—right now, Brenda!"
"I understand how you feel, Jake! We have to let him be!"
"That scumbag! he thinks—he can survive this all alone?!"
Tristan headed at the left wing of the mansion. Cain and Abel, went at the 2nd floor. While Brenda and Jake, stays at the lobby.
"What a rude guy, Brenda!"
"Yeah, Jake. I've feel an ominous feeling about him!"
"You've crossed your arms… you've only doing that—if something's bugging you!"
"Yeah, something isn't right, Jake!"
"What was that?"
"I can't explained it either… Maybe, I'm just being paranoid, Jake!
"Don't think too much—"
"What was that, Jake?!"
"Lets check it out, Brenda!"
"Tristan—might be in danger!"
The loud gun fire echoes at the dining area into the lobby. Brenda and Jake, went inside to investigate it.
"Who's that?!"
"That's what I'm going to asks you too, Brenda!?"
"Stop, right there!"
"Grrrrrrrrrowl!"
"I think he couldn't hear you, Brenda!"
"Jake! Behind him!"
"Ugh! Why me?!"
"You're the only man here, so who else?"
"Zikes, fine!"
He's slowly walked like a cat behind the mans back. Jake saw—he was devouring a man, who's gasping for breath.
"throw your hands into the air!"
"Grrrrrrrrr…"
"Be careful, Jake!"
"I will, Brenda!"
Jake was 1 feet closer to the man, the fear sends shiver down into his spines. His hands was few inches from the mans shoulder. The man slowly turned his head—facing Jake.
"Oh my God!"
"Jake! What happened, why you're voice trembling?"
"Grrrrrrrrrr… rawrrrrr!"
The man slowly stand up and attacked, Jake. He was slipped on the floor, while the man tries to bite him.
"Get–away from me!"
"Grrrrrrrrr… raarrwrr!"
"Help me, Brenda!"
"I might—Hit you, Jake!"
"Bang… Bang… Bang!"
Brenda was firing at the mans back but it's seems there's no effect on him. She was stunned and couldn't fired another bullets.
"What kind of monster this freak?"
"Jake! I don't have any ammo!"
"I guess, I'll have to do this in my way, Brenda!"
He tried to reached his combat knife—He quickly grabbed it. He gave his strength by blocking the man—one handedly.
"Grawrrrrrr—"
"Take this, Freak!"
"—rrraaawrr…"
He'd struck his combat knife into the mans head. The man fell down into the floor, while gushing its blood at, Jakes—knife.
"I'm so sorry, Jake. I didn't do a thing—to help you!"
"Don't blame yourself—you fired many bullets on that Undead… that's a big help to me, Brenda!"
"Hmmm."
"Lets head back at the lobby. It was too dimmed in here, Brenda!"
"I'll need to examine that guy—first!"
"Alright… let's search this area, Brenda!"
"Jake! Come here!"
"This guy… he's one of us—"
"Maybe, he's part of the missing team… who'd lost contact with H.Q earlier?!"
"I thought so, Jake."
Brenda took all of the useful things inside the mans utility pockets. Jake took a gold lighter placed at the dining table. They head back at the lobby in no time.
"Brenda! We heard some gun fires! What happened?"
"We killed some enemies… You two, don't let your guard down! This mansion was full of monsters, Abel!"
"Aye—Chief operative!"
"This mansion… the powers seems to be weakened!"
"Maybe—its only an emergency power, Jake!"
"So we need to fix it, Right!?"
"Yes… you're right, Jake!"
"I don't like the meaning of your stares, Brenda!"
Brenda went at the power room to check. The room was completely pitch-black, there's no fraction of light from the outside can entered the room.
"Its too dark to see anything!"
"I'll turned on my head light, Jake!"
"Looked Brenda, There's a map hanging at the wall!"
"Take it, Jake."
"So, this was the map of ground floor only?!"
"Yep, Jake—"
"I hope… our house—was big like this!"
"Maybe, if we hit the lottery, Jake?"
"Yeah! Brenda!"
"We'll buy this house if ever!"
"I'd rather sleep on the streets, Brenda!"
"Enough talking… let's fix these power boxes!"
She inspected the fuse boxes, some of them was missing. Jake was searching the room for useful items.
"How should we operate this!?"
"Just focus, Brenda!"
"I'll check the last fuse box… I hope it's working!"
"Its complete… Not a single ones-missing, Brenda."
"Lets give it a try, one… two… three—"
"Brenda, it worked!"
"—What a relief, Jake!"
Brenda successfully restored the electricity at the power room. They saw a dead body of a person; lying at ground behind the electrical boards.
"Blaargh… that's disgusting!
"Are you alright, Jake?"
"How could I—look at that… his abdomen is wide open!"
"He was holding something—what kind of animal capable doing that, Jake?!"
"I don't know—besides, I was having a goosebumps by just thinking of it..."
"...just go! Brenda. That thing—Its make me going to puke!
"Sighs! Alright, I'll go get it.
She went at the mans corpse and picked up something at the mans hand. Jake, went outside of the room. He waited Brenda, at the lobby.
"What did you found?"
"Its an audio player, Jake—How about you, what did you found earlier?"
"I've found this!"
"What was that, Jake?"
"I don't know… it's like some sort of medal!"
He showed the weird looking gold 'Medal' at Brenda—She's examining the medal, when Cain, suddenly called.
"Well, we can worry that later… let's restored first the power of this mansion—"
"Brenda!"
"—Yes, Cain?"
"Were stuck in here… in one of the rooms at the 2nd floor!"
"What, why, Cain?"
"I think someone locked us—please help, Brenda!"
"This is—Jake! Hang in there for a while!"
"Yes, captain!"
While looking at the map, Jake saw something was written at the back of it. They've go back at the dining area. They've entered the door at the right of it, upon entering they saw three different doors.
"Whew, this mansion—looks like a real maze to me!"
"When it comes—in, which way to go. You scratches your head!"
"You can't blame me, Brenda. This mansion's confusing!"
"Lets try the doorthat leads into the 2nd floor—its locked from the other side!"
"Brenda, according to the map… it wasn't locked!"
"According at the back of the map, The fuse was located…"
"…At the bronze key room—"
"Brenda, looked at this room it says: "Bronze key room: Storage area!" on it's signboard!"
"This door was locked and can only be opened with bronze key, Jake!"
"Zikes! How inconvenient this is!"
Brenda and Jake went back at the lobby to check the key room—to find the bronze key. Upon entering the dining area, one of the fallen—missing team member rise from the floor.
"Oh great!"
"Jake, I'm taking this one!"
"Sure, don't sweat it, Brenda!"
"Bang!"
"Nice headshot, Brenda!"
"We have to move, Now!"
They immediately exited the dining area and headed into the key room. Brenda saw a small key chart, she took it and place it inside of her pocket.
"According to this, there are five symbol keys—Where's the other four!?"
"This mission is becoming more like a riddle, Brenda!"
"I agree, Jake!"
"Take that key already, so we can bring this mansion into the light!"
Brenda took the bronze key—they've unlocked the storage room. The creatures living inside from the dead body of a man unleashed terror.
"That's gross!"
"There's no time get puked, Jake!"
"I know! I don't want these things inside my body!"
"What kind of cockroaches is this? Jake! Be on guard!
"Squeeze these things into smithereens!"
"there's some gasoline at the shelf behind you, do you think what I'm thinking, Jake?!"
"I know what you're thinking!"
Jake took the bottle of fuel and pour down at the carpet. He ignites the lighter and burned the floor, the mutated cockroach burned into ashes.
"So much for the cockroaches!"
"Brenda, used that distinguisher— or we're going to get barbeque in here!"
"On it, Jake!"
Brenda distinguishes the fire completely, they took the box of fuse. She read a hand written memo that has been pinned at the end table.
"What this all about… it's says: "Don't forget to read this memo, Cali. The green herb helps neutralize infection and heal wounds…"
"…The blue herb, helps neutralize a poison and parasitic infestation…
"The red herb, helps resuscitate and stop the bleeding of persons life in a critical level…"
"Mixing all of them will enhanced the herbs potential."
"So this herbs can cure any types of infections… Maybe, including undead bites?"
She took the herbs growing at the small pots in the table. They immediately head back at the power room.
"Lets bring some light in this Darkened Mansion!"
"Placed all the fuses in that fuse boxes, Brenda."
They managed to restored the mansions electricity at full power. Brenda and Jake can now explore the mansion without fear of what lurks in the shadows
