"Montes? Montes come in?" Ricca spoke into his radio. Static only came through and what sounded like little noises in the background.
"Ricca! *Static* pinned down. *static* *Gunfire* Shit! Lopez!" A creatures' screeching was the last thing he heard before the signal cut out.
"We're missing a fight come on!'' Ricca said to Fluttershy as he ran back to the group.
Ricca hadn't move to far from where he left the group. He soon found his way to the break room and saw bullet holes riddling the place. Bodies of Task units on one side but there was a dangerously large puddly on the other side by the door. But whoever's blood it was clearly made it out.
"Shit." He said quietly with Fluttershy resting on his shoulder.
"Come on. They couldn't have gotten far." He said as he set Fluttershy down. She followed him into the room and was shocked to see the body of a guard laying there. But when it moved,
"Lopez!" Ricca said as he hurried to help his wounded comrade.
"Leave me. They fell back when 096 came." He said weakly.
"No, fuck that. We'll find you help and get you the hell out of here!" Ricca said as he slung Lopez's arm around his shoulder with Fluttershy hovering with her wings an supporting the other. With his arms supported, they carried him through the next door.
"Montes come on. We found Lopez. We're moving to you now."
More static came through but the voice was audible.
"We're waiting at E-Gate. It's locked and I think Lopez has the key. You need to leave him Ricca. He won't make it and those units were pissed when they left."
"He's right you know." Lopez said. Blood loss making him quite.
"Negative. We're almost there. Ricca out." He said through the radio once more.
They kept moving through halls. Fluttershy kept grimacing at the blood trail that Lopez left. What was worst was that it kept growing instead of shrinking.
"Ricca, I don't think-" A bullet Pierced RIccas' back and he grunted in pain.
"We found them."
"Shit!" He said as he hurried them into the other room and sealed the door with a gunshot to the control button. Bullets began shooting through the door in hopes of hitting them.
"Clear the damn table!" Ricca yelled as he and Fluttershy moved papers and other objects off and placed Lopez onto the table.
"Fluttershy I need you to try to find a medical kit in here." He said. Fluttershy began to search frantically for it.
"You'll make it." He said to Lopez. But judging by the amount of bullet wounds and the blood staining his clothes, Lopez was doomed for this world.
"Ricca. . . listen." He could barely speak at this point.
"Hurry and find it!" He yelled. Fluttershy came back to him empty handed.
"I looked everywhere but there was nothing." She said. Sweat had covered her face.
"Ricca. . ." Lopez lifted his hand. Ricca grabbed it.
"I snagged this from Dr. Maynards' office. Use it." He said. He let go and Ricca felt a keycard in his hand.
"Now go. Before they kill you both too." He said as his breath started to run out. Ricca had accepted his fate and walked to the door.
"I'm sorry you had to die here."
"Not everything goes our way sometimes." He said back.
Ricca only nodded and closed the door. Looking at his friend through the little lines left before it sealed completely.
"Lets go." He said with deep sorrow in his voice. It was the only thing he said.
He didn't need words. He needed actions.
"Montes?" The radio buzzed to life. The groups heads all lifted to wait for word about Lopez. Rarity being in tears at leaving him and hoping that he had made it.
"Yeah?" Was the only thing Montes said.
"Lopez is gone. He bled out after giving me the key."
Rarity burst into tears at the word. Pinkie rushed over and hugged her.
"We're waiting. Just hurry." He said softly. He turned around to try to comfort Rarity but a gun being cocked got his attention as he spun around. There were no Units in the room besides him.
"Drop the gun." Jake said as he pointed a weapon at Montes.
"Jake... why?" Pinkies' lip quivered at the sight of her new friend pointing a gun at Montes.
"Why? I'll tell you why. I was just a normal person. Had a family, a great job. That was until my boss was murdered. All fingers pointed at me saying that I did it. I was sent to prison for a life sentence. But they sent me here. They said that I was going to be set free at the end of the month but I'm no fool. I heard Ricca say the things he did."
He shook as he spoke.
"But why kill me-"
"And the others. Cause when I'm done with you, these stupid ponies are next. When Ricca and the other one gets here, I'll shot them. Then me and Greg are gonna get the fuck out of here." He shook.
Pinkie had burst into tears at the sound of her new friends' hateful words.
"NOW TURN AROUND AND FACE THE WALL!" He screamed.
"Not you." He poked Montes with the barrel of the gun.
"You have the gun so you're first."
Montes took a deep breath and looked down.
"Jake-"
*SNAP*
Montes quickly looked up to see Jakes body fall with his head turned. SCP-173 stood there as all eyes turned on it. Pinkie screamed at the sight of Jake hitting the ground.
"Shit no one look away!" Monts yelled.
As SCP-173 stood still with Greg looking at it. Montes opened the door and in rushed Ricca and Fluttershy.
"Okay we're- Oh fuck." He yelled as he tossed Montes the card and looked at the statue.
Montes slid the card and the door opened. The room filled with light from the sun as the ponies rushed out. Soon Greg stood on the outside, staring at the Statue. He simply closed the door as if he said his goodbye to the creatures that tried to kill him.
[A/N] One more and it's a wrap. With apologies to 'Mordecaiser', my new and soon to be ex follower as Lopez was his favorite. After this, it's back to writing happy stories.
