We all went back to the menacing door and typed the code “97531” in and the door unlocked...We had finally unlocked the door and we pulled the heavy door handle.

The door slowly swung open revealing a brick layed basement that went down into pitch black. “Well that looks way too dark” - John “Yea obviously” - Aithen. We all venture down into the depths of the dark. Luckily we all brought flashlights so we could actually see. Inside the basement was a L shaped corridor with old boxes and spider webs in every corner of this room, a dripping noise could be heard from the rusted leaking pipes. “What’s with this place? It looks like some dead person's home” - Aithen “Yea obviously” - John. “Haha that was not funny” - Aithen. The boxes were stacked in an odd way once again. Aithen thought that someone must have known we were coming.The Elixium squad found another room this damp in way worse condition to the other rooms here. The carpet was moist and when stepped on oozed what they only assumed was blood. “That’s still fresh blood, so someone was here recently.” - Aithen “Yea obviously ” - John. “Oh for the love of god shut up Johnny boy” - Aithen.’’I dare you to say that again pisspot’’ - John. “Johnny boy you’re forgetting who’s the leader”- Aithen. ‘’I think you're forgetting that you mistook a zombie for a human and nearly got bitten’’ - John.”Still hanging on to that? It was 8 years ago Johnathan Chase '' - Aithen.,’’Don’t ever call me by that name again Mr dead family’’- John. “Wow you really are an ass sometimes.”. After all that talking we had reached a 3 parting ways. The path in front of them had some weird machinery and huge metal boxes that had rusted. The path to the left of them was nearly pitch black with the occasional dim flashing light, from what they could see it was a kind of a supply room. To the right of them was a medium sized room that had paper scattered all around and was brightly lit almost as if someone was inviting them into the room. Elixium had decided to split into 2’s. The 2’s are John and Kaylee, Aithen and Thomas, Jake and Jackson. John and Kaylee both went down the path in front of everyone. Aithen and Thomas went into the dark left path and Jake and Jackson went to the bright right path.

Aithen POV

“Damn, even with the flashlight I can barely see a dang thing”. “It’s like a really heavy fog” - Thomas. I seemed to be walking for ages without an end in sight, all this long hallway was a thick stench of rotten things and endless boxes stacked one another or each other. “How do you know this isn’t a trap?”- Thomas. “Well they wouldn’t put a very long hallway underground for no reason”. I might be hallucinating but I swear the walls are slowly getting thinner, also the further we go in the less the lights flash and the thicker the fog becomes. “So what’s up with John?” - Thomas. “He’s always been like that...Well as long as I’ve known him. He acts like a damn ass.”. “Has he been like that since he was born?” - Thomas. “I don’t know but in this cruel world a zombie probably killed someone he knew and now he’s ‘broken’ or something cringey like that.”. “So are you friends or not as you definitely don’t seem like you're on good terms.” -Thomas. “I don’t know we’ve known eachother since I was 9 and he was 11...Actually how do you not know about this you’ve been in this squad for over a year now”. “I guess I don’t pay that much attention” - Thomas. We had been walking for quite some time but there was still no exit in sight. Until we came across a door to the right of us. The door had a metal like sign on it. On the sign was “Project Markix Research One”. “Bingo, that's the type of stuff we need to find”. Aithen kicked the door right open ready to find what they needed to finally get out of here. Inside there were several white tables laid out into a line, on the table was a lot of microscopes but the thing that stood out the most was a massive dark blue orb surrounded in a strange purplish material. “That looks important but first let’s find out what it is.” Thomas began looking through all types of cabinets and found a document labeled “Project Markix Classified Information”.

“Hello everyone apart of the Versteckt Forschen Foundation. The Kisami have given us the go for the next project and it is...Project Markix this will be about researching the new thing we call Fragment-66 now this may not sound exciting but I assure you it is. Fragment-66 seems to do a lot of things. First it can attract Zombies to it and can even power the zombies up!. Although it isn’t all bdsssxad for us, Fragment-66 also powers up our weapons to super zombie killers! So Project Markix is the foundation to knowing everything about Fragment-66...Okay now time for the Classified Information. So I have observed that Fragment-66 interconnects into an entirely new dimension, for now let's call it Dimension 1-b. It seems that Fragment-66 comes from this new world we’ve found and it could be the origin of Zombies. Right now we have built a massive Fragment-66 cluster into a huge ball to try and rift open back to Dimension 1-b we have called these huge clumps “Rift-66” We will continue more research” It was written in German but thanks to our translator integrated into our outfit for missions. “So that massive dark blue ball is probably Rift-66 then”. “I’m going to search for more documents to find.” - Thomas. I was left alone once again like when my family died. I found another cabinet that was labelled “Markix abandoned” So I opened it up to read

“...So this might be the...Last document I’ll ever do...We...Unleashed something truly terrifying upon...Us...Even more deadly...Than….The Ancient...One…” There was more written but it was soaked in dried blood and was unreadable. I couldn’t find anything else so I went to find Thomas and tell him what I found but I couldn't find him at all. I shouted out his name but he didn’t shout back, I then found a strange lock at the end of a wall “Input file” I wasn’t sure what it meant but Thomas must of found out what it was and is behind there so I put the “Project Markix Classified Information” into the slot, the machine buzzed a lot and made quite a few loud screeching noises but eventually the Classified Information popped back out and the lock displayed “Access granted”
