It was two days later, that the girls got a call. It wasn't like a phone call, no, their cutie marks started to glow, and give off a pulse. We all found out it was the table in the library. They started to call it the "Cutie-map" and the name stuck in the group.

They left to the place their cutie marks hovered over. That was about half an hour ago. It was still early in the morning, but I was bored. So, I sat in front of my TV, and turned on my Xbox. I took a look through the hundreds of games that the Shaman had given me. I decided, maybe I should play some Dead Space 2. I loved the game, and had played it many times.

As I started to boot it up, something happened. The screen started to spark, and then a black hole appeared in the center of the screen.

I jumped up, starting for the kitchen doorway so I could hold on to it, but the suction picked up dramatically, pulling me off my feet and into the TV. I blacked out.

I woke up, in a black room. I was in a straight jacket, and I could see a message that had been recorded playing.

"Isaac are you there... Come in Isaac. Oh god, I'm so sorry, look at the time difference. I'll call back later."

And then I realized. This was the beginning of Dead Space 2. I looked around just a small bit, but couldn't see anything. The intro was playing, the recorded message finishing up.

...saac. ISAAC! You were drifting away for a moment there Mister Clarke." I looked at the scientist from the game, sitting in front of me. "I believe you were telling me about your, nightmares, you've been having. About your dead girlfriend. What was her name?" I immediately replied.

"Nicole." I was stunned, my voice was just like Gunner Wright's. He was the voice actor for Isaac in the 2nd and 3rd games of the Dead Space series.

I could see the hallucination of Nicole over off to the side, speaking. But, this time, it wasn't the same lines as in the games. She was addressing ME.

"This isn't a normal game, Cameron. You get only three respawns. You are playing on Hardcore, so it is only fair. The ammo is not as finite, as it isn't fair in the game. But, you die three times in here, you die out there. You must say all lines, as they come to you. You are now in my game. So play." the hallucination disappears, and the doctor starts to speak again.

"Yes, Nicole Brennan. She was a Senior Medical officer stationed aboard a Planet cracker class vessel." I nod slightly.

"The Ishimura."

"The USG Ishimura, yes. Part of a mining operation on Aegis seven." I saw the hallucinations, the halls of the ship. "I understand communications went down shortly after their arrival." I nod. The hallucination changes, to Nicole, and she tells me more rules.

"You have to survive. That means everything. Food, water, sleep, hygiene. You must actually survive." And the hallucination changes back to the halls of the Ishimura. The doctor started talking again.

"Says here you were a part of the repair mission, a mission which you volunteered for am I right?" I nod. The hallucination stops.

"What did you find aboard that ship Isaac?" The hallucination comes back, flashing the marker, the worst thing in the series. Each time it flashed, it got closer. I answered like Isaac does.

"They found something." The doctor leans closer.

"What did they find aboard the ship Isaac?" I answered again.

"The marker." The marker hallucination now was closer, and Nicole was in front of it. It flashed closer, and Nicole's hallucination didn't go away.

"Did you have contact with this... marker?" I nod. "It made you see things. Things you didn't want to see."

Nicole's hallucination kept getting closer, as the marker started to flash more and more. I answered as Isaac does.

"It spoke to me." Nicole climbed on to the table in front of me.

"What did it say Issac? What did it say to you Isaac?" Nicole's ghost spoke, the way she does in the game.

"MAKE US WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLEEE!"
"Isaac? Isaac can you hear me? ISAAC!"
And Nicole's ghost lunged at me.

I black out.

The next thing I know, I am blinded by a light, as I slowly open my eyes. Franco is in front of me, the guy who helps me get up right before I have to run. I realize what is going to happen, so I am not too afraid, but I am starting to get terrified. I never played Dead Space 2 on Hardcore. I had started once, but hadn't actually gotten anywhere in it, as I had to go do something else. Franco started to talk.

"Isaac. Isaac, can you hear me?" He snaps his fingers near my head. I groan, and he looks over his shoulder at a noise outside the room. I was actually scared now, I was in a horror game that had given me nightmares at one point in my life. Franco started to talk into his walkie talkie.

"Daina, I found Issac Clarke. I repeat I found him." The walkie talkie comes to life.

'Great work Franco. Be careful with him, he's been out for a long time.' Franco starts to grunt, and help me up.

"Okay, good, good. Steady, steady. We got to get you out of this straight jacket." I said my line.

"Where? Where am I?" He continually looks over his shoulder, and I know why. He looks back at me. I know what is coming, and I am dreading it.

"Alright, I know your confused right now, and I can explain everything, but you gotta trust me okay. Listen, your in terrible, terrible danger." He says.

Right before he has an Infector blade shoved through his stomach. He grunts in pain, the Infector climbing up his back, and pulling his head back. It then brings out it's proboscis, and jams it into his forehead. It stays that way for a second, and pulls it out. Franco's corpse starts to groan, and grunt, jerking this way and that, as Slasher blades start to come from his shoulders. the last thing that happens, is his throat starts to stretch, and the skin starts to tear itself from being stretched. The skin on his face falls off, and he roars in my face.

I react on instinct, and also, in the subconscious of my mind, it was the next action I was to do, I headbutt the Francomorph.

After I do, I get a call on my RIG, that picks up automatically.

'Franco? Franco, what happened?' I start to run, slightly thinking, 'hold RB to run'. Daina keeps talking. 'Oh god. Isaac. Isaac Clarke, if you can hear me, RUN. JUST RUN!' I almost answered, 'BITCH WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I'M DOING!!!'

I only slightly remember that I have to run in a specific direction, otherwise I will die. So, I run, through the corridors as Necromorphs jump out from everywhere. I run down a hall and take a left, remembering that it was the way to safety. A Necromorph falls from a vent behind me. I don't turn around, but keep running.

I go through a door, and take a right. heading down a small hall, and take another right, into yet another small hall. I see the doors that lead to safety in front of me, and I see the surprise waiting for me.

I run for the door, ready for the surprise. Oh god, I was scared out of my mind, but I needed to get to safety before I freak out. I run up to the door, and am jumped by a slasher that had been sitting in a wheelchair by the doors.

He tackled me, and starts to stab me in the shoulder. I struggle to keep him off me, and get my legs under him, kicking him off me, and into the door that closes on him, cutting his head and an arm off.

I was safe. I scramble back from the door, and into the room I am in. I stop, taking deep breaths, trying to calm myself down.

'Okay. I am in Dead Space 2, Hardcore mode. Oh god, I am so fucking terrified right now. The only thing that saved me back there, is the fact that I knew the game. Oh shit, I am going to have to go through this whole game this way, aren't I? Fuck me. I hope the girls are having a better time than me. I wonder if there is any way I can contact them outside the game. I called out.

"Hey, Nicole. I wanna talk for a second." And surprisongly, she came out. It was the nice Nicole, like the intro Nicole.

"What do you want Cameron?" She asked, irritated by being called.

"If I am going to play your game, I have two demands. Small ones at that. Demand one, I get the elite Advanced suit. Demand two, I want the Refurbished plasma cutter. And the elite suit can be like the engineering suit in the beginning. You can, like, put an upgrade for the inventory slots in the store. 10000 credits for two slots. Sound good? Because, I am playing your fucking game, so cut me a small break."

Nicole stared at me, then laughed a little. "Fine. I agree to your two demands, and the ideas you had for the shop. I am guessing you don't want the other suits that you find?" I nod. "Very well, thank you for playing." I nod, and she walks past me.

I slump down the wall, my adrenaline wearing off from the run down the hall. And with the adrenaline wearing off, I could feel why my health was in the red. I could see a little part of my RIG was for health. I had always wondered what Dead Space would be like in first person. I needed to move on, I have to finish the game to leave.

I stayed in the room for another two minutes, and then headed out the door on the other side, after having moved past the hospital gurneys and partitions.

I had to move around a gurney that was parked behind it, and turned down a hallway. At the end, I saw two guards. As I started down the hallway, they saw me. One said my name, Isaac Clarke, and they both started to shoot at me, but one got snatched and pulled into a vent. The other guard started to fire his weapon into the vemt, but gets snatched as well.

I head in that direction, starting to a door that leads to the next area, around some corners and up a ramp. As I get near the doorway, one of the dead guards bodies falls out the vent in front of me. I just take a breath, and move on past it.

I head up the ramp I mentioned and came upon a landing with two doors. The door in front of me was locked, but the one to my left wasn't. I head through it, into an observation room of sorts. I knew the path, Nd jead left, going around the room, and walking over the glass ceilings of the patient cells. Looking down, some of the cells looked disgusting.

I move up the steps at the end of the glass floor into the cells area, and see the recorded video of the scientist from the beginning of the game interrogating the character Nolan Stross. Look up the video on youtube, the author is lazy.

Wait, what did I say? Huh, musta been my imagination.

Anyways, I went through the adjoined hallway to the left, and entered the room beyond. Here, I stopped for a second, ready for what happened.

'God, everything is much more terrifying when you have to truly survive. This went from thriller horror, to survival thriller horror. Lets get past this cutscene.

I move through the small room, and I see a person looking through an observation window. I move towards him.

As I get close, he turns around and grabs me, then holds a knife to my throat. It was the scientist from the beginning. He laughs like a madman. I say my line.

"Come on man."

"Patient four... I remember you. Tiedmann, he said we, all key subjects... where to be eliminated." He starts to giggle maniacally. "Whats one more." I start to speak.

"Listen to me man."
"Will it matter?"
"LISTEN TO ME!"
"WILL IT MATTER!?"

I calm down. I try to think, next line. I remember.

"We can both get out of here. Just... just cut me out of this straightjacket." He gets a serious tone.

"Noone's getting out of here alive." And he pulls his knife from my throat. I panic.

"Don't do it." I say, partially freaking out, knowing he is going to stab me. He does, and I grunt in pain. He starts to but up on me, and I feel it. After a second, he had cut me open. He jerked the knife up one more time, and finished cutting the straight jacket off. I stumbled away a bit. I turn to the scientist.

He speaks. "There is no escaping from what I've done." he giggles again. I put my hand up, saying.

"Hey buddy. Take it easy." He gets serious. He calms down, and he straightens up some. He sounds sane when he speaks again.

"Your RIG is red. It's red." He points to a yellow locker over in a corner. " There's a healthpack and a flashlight in that wall locker over there. You should grab them." I start to walk to the locker, giving him some glances as I move past him. He says again.

"Go ahead. Take it." I open the locker, seeing the gel pack like tubes that are the health kits in the game. "I won't be needing it anymore." I grab the health pack, and inject it into the stab wound on my shoulder, were I had been stabbed by the slasher from the wheelchair. In moments, I could see my cells regrow, as the blue gel substance started to replicate the cells of the surrounding tissue, and create new cells to replace the lost ones.

I actually took a second to think on this. I had watched, among other things on Youtube, Roanoke gaming, and his thoughts on the dead space RIG. He had the theory, that the RIG light, was just the light that indicated how much of the health pack gel you still had. He had then gone on to explain what he thought the gel was. He had theorized it was a cellular growth stimulater, and would stimulate the growth of new cells, to replace lost tissue. Apparently, he was right.

I grab the flashlight, and check it over for a sec, aiming and pulling the trigger to turn it on. I turn to the scientist.

"Isaac. We are all going to burn, for what we did to you." And he then slit his throat. He started to gurgle up his blood, coughing and wheezing up red mist as it went into his lungs and esophagus. He slumped against the observation window, and slid down, chocking. Finally, he crapped out, and died. I almost threw up. I had seen some things, but that was not right.

I moved on to the doorway to the right from where he died. i went down the small hall, and at the end, called the elevator. As I did, I got a call on my RIG. It was face time too. The face of my mysterious savior was revealed. Daina.

She was adjusting something off screen.

'Clarke. Isaac Clarke is that you?' Static took the screen for a sec, white noise taking the sound. I asked her.

"Who are you?" she came into focus again past the static.

'My name is Daina. I'm the one trying to rescue you.'

"Why? What's going on?"

'Your suffering from a unique form of dementia, Isaac. Something you contracted on Aegis VII.' the elevator opened. I stepped inside, and pushed the holo-button to go down.

"How do you know that? How do you know all this about me?" Daina starts to get indignant.

'Your dementia will kill you. But if you can get here, I can treat you and get you to safety.'

"Why should I trust you?"

'Because I'm not the one shooting at you.' The lights to the elevator went out, and I said the next line I needed to say to Daina.

"FUCK!" I shake my head. She looks off screen, pushing more buttons on her end.

'Just follow the route I'm sending you.' And she cuts the RIG link. The elevator opens, unto a dark hallway. I remember that I have to go through a dark room, but I had somewhat forgotten where it was, and the normally open door at the end of the hall wasn't open. I used the waypoint on my RIG, and a glowing blue line went along the floor and into a room to the left down the hall.

'Huh, this is different from the original. The door is usually open at the end of this hall. I wonder what else is different?'

I head towards the waypoint, and bring up my flashlight. And see a dead body on the floor, that twitched.

I walk over and immediately start to stomp it like a boss. My foot doesn't hurt afterwards, as it had been a hardcore stomping, so I was surprised it didn't hurt. After I was sure it wouldn't move, I continue forward, and into the room that had been shown on my waypoint.

I remembered that there is a bunch of desks in the way in the game originally. But when I made my way in this time, I found it to be different. The desks had been thrown against the walls, and their was bodies lying all around on the floor. I was pretty certain this was going to be safe, as in the game, I wasn't ever attacked until the kinesis chamber. However, since this was different, I was worried that I would be attacked. So, I went over to the nearest chair, and picked it up. I then moved through the room, and that was when the Infector came out. It started towards one of the corpses, and picked it up, starting to change it into a slasher. I rush over, and start beating on it, bashing it with the chair. It let go of the body, and tried to fight back, but I eventually bashed it into a pulp. I was covered in blood now.

I took a moment to calm down, and then tossed the chair away, with a good old.

"Fuck you chair!" courtesy of my favorite gamer, RadBrad. Who, I give a small shout out to, for his walkthrough is helping me with most of the dialogue.

There it is again, I said some random ass shit. Must be suffering from Isaac's dementia. Anyway's, this game is different than the actual game. I must be careful.

I move through the room, and out the door at the end. I take a left, and head down the hall, going past wheelchairs and walkers. At the end, I take a right, and then head too the doors on my right again.

Heading through them, I find myself heading into a set of showers. Great, that means I can wash some of the blood off. I walk in, and the shower looks like it was from Silent Hill, but it was the same from the original Dead Space 2. Only, it was darker, and the dripping faucets weren't dripping, with most of them on, steaming up the place just enough to make it a little hazy. I walk through cautiously, and head to the door out. As I get there, I start to get a headache, and my mind get's fuzzy. I see the world start to glow orange-ish, and I see a shadow from behind. I snap out of my haze, and turn around, finding a slasher behind me.

I stumble backwards as it attacks me, and it stabs into the ground. It gets stuck, and I go and punch it as hard as I can, snapping it's head to the left. I then kick it, and the two slasher blades come off in a sickening snap, leaving the blades stuck in the ground, with a little bit of bone on the back of them. The slasher tried one more time to get up, but I went to it's head, and started to stomp it's lights out. It was pulped shortly thereafter.

I took another breather, as I remember the small scene that was supposed to happen, and it didn't involve a living slasher, just a hallucination. I needed to move on. I went over to the maintenance vent, and put my hand on it.

'Welcome, CEC Engineer, Issac Clarke.' It said, as I climb into the vent. I am laying down, and I have to army crawl my way through. I make it to the first corner, and I turn around it, and see the legs to some necromorph in from of me. I crawl towards them, and it scampers away. I crawl after it, and make it to the next turn. I was terrified. This was ten times scarier than the original game. The tunnel was usually lit up with a glow from computer screens and lights. Now, it wasn't, and I was in the dark. I was constantly holding the trigger to the flashlight, and I made progress through.

I came up on a part I knew, and when it was about to happen, I braced myself. Then the vent fell out from under me. It happened suddenly, right as I had relaxed to take a breath. I hit the ground, and the breath was knocked out of me. I layed on the floor, and wheezed as I tried to get air in. I was were I got my kinesis, I remembered. But damn, I need to catch my breath. I finally pulled in a breath, and started to stand up. I got up, and saw a person, dead, hovering in a kinesis field.

I get a RIG call.

'Isaac what happened? Are you alright?'

"Why are you helping me?" I say as I sit up against the wall, facing the floating body.

'If Tiedmann finds you, then more people will die.' I stand up.

"Including me."

'Not if you follow my route.' I looked around, hoping to find if maybe I can use something else to fight with, besides the kinesis.

"I don't like this."

'You don't have to like it. Just hurry before you get locked in.' and the call ended. I couldn't find anything to use as a weapon, so I went to the box to find the kinesis module.

I ripped open the panel that controlled the kinesis field, and reached inside. I felt around for a sec, before finding a box like object. I grabbed a hold of it, and yanked it out. I then attached it to my left wrist. Then, I tested out how to use it.

I lifted my hand, and focused on an object, and gripped. The kinesis module glowed, and the object I focused on flew to within a foot of me. I released my grip, and the object dropped. I picked it up again, and then tried thrusting with my hand, letting go. It launched the object. Alright, not to difficult. Just need to remember that whole process when I throw objects. I then picked up the dead body I had been practicing on, and launched it at the glass walls near me.

They shattered, and the necromorphs that come dropped down. I turned, and picked up a pole, long and straight, in my kinesis, and turned towards the necromorphs. I launched it at one, and impaled him, sending him flying into the wall, were he stuck, limp. I turned and grabbed another pole, and launched it at the second necromorph. He too was sent flying. And then more came. I just kept picking up rods and launching them. After the twelve rods, (I counted) had been launched into all the necromorphs, they stopped coming. I looked around for anymore rods, but they had all been shot into the enemies. I took a second to breath, as a few had come a little to close for comfort, and then walked up to the multiple bodies now lining the walls of the hospital room.

I proceeded to punch every corpse that was hanging, for being a fucking cunt, and trying to kill me. Then, I picked up every piece of money that I got, including a few med-packs. I walked through the bloody hall way, and went to the elevator to the next floor. Getting inside, I found another med-pack. I grabbed it, and went up.

The elevator door opened to a room, the observation deck around the stasis surgery room. I remember that I have a few necromorphs come out and fight me, so I get ready, and then step out. I turn to my left, and make my way over to grab one of the rods that lay on the floor. just as the four necromorphs drop into the room. And instead of taking their time like they usually do, they sprinted at me, coming around the walkways to stab me. I launched the rod into the first one to come near, and he flew into the wall, dead. I then ripped one of his blades off with the kinesis, and used that to launch the next necromorph. I repeated that for the four necromorphs in the room, and then stomped and punched the corpses, getting all the goodies out of them. I was starting to calm down, getting a little used to the fact that there was now more enemies than usual, and they were probably going to be stronger than usual as well.

I moved to the two wall boxes, and opened them, grabbing the credits, or money, out of them. I had roughly four thousand and fifty now. I went around to the end of the room, and head through the doorway into the next corridor. It was pitch black. it usually is lit up, so I new that something might attack. i walked through, over to the crate that was waiting for me, and stomped the crate open. inside was roughly 5000 credits, and then I stomped the dead necromorph, getting another 3000. Then, I moved on, down the narrow, cramped corridors. 'God, I usually am not claustrophobic, but this is making me.

I make it to the necromorph in the chair, and then it jumps me. I am taken to the ground again, but this time, I hold the arms from stabbing me. It tries, then suddenly twitches, and jerks one out of my hands. It slams it into my shoulder, and I yell in pain. i then grab the blade, and punch it in the head. I take the arm in my shoulder, and break it off, before pulling it out, and turning it around, ramming it into the head, down through the skull, and into the body, impaling it. It falls limp on top of me, and I push it off, gasping in pain. I use one of the health-packs I picked up, and the gel starts to numb the area, and regrow the tissue. I sit there, in the wheelchair, as it does so. After about ten minutes, the wound is healed, and I rip off the impaled necros other blade, and carry it with me. At least I have some close combat weapon of some sort.

I move through the door that was five feet away, and the next room is almost like I remember. But instead of bright, and clean, it was bright, and covered in blood and gore, and dead bodies. I could hear a person, screaming for help. I knew he would be on an operating table in the center. So, I do like I usually did, and head around the sides of the room, into the little office like areas around, grabbing anything in them. I picked up plasma cutter ammo, and then moved on to the next little room. I did so for the next three rooms, before seeing the necromorph strapped to a gurney, and swinging it's arms wildly, thrashing around trying to get out. I headed for the center. The door was closed, and inside was clean. I opened the door, and the dude on the table saw me.

"Hey, you, please, get me outa here?!" I walked over to him, and started on the cuffs holding him down.

"Hold on, let me get these off you. Just stay still." He nods, and shuts up. "What is you name?"

"J-j-Jeremy. Jeremy Fitzpatrick. Please, the doctors left me here, I don't wanna die." I get the two arm cuffs off, and he jumps off the table, and runs to the back part of the room. I run up to the surgical control panel.

I start to push the buttons, and look to see that a one of the commands is to bring the tissue laser over to me. I push it, and it starts to move the machine on the ceiling. As the machine brings the laser over to me, and brings the arm down, I pull the cutter off the arm, and attach it to the flashlight. Then, I have the plasma cutter. But it isn't the one I asked for, so I live with it for now. I then turn to the guy, and say.

"Hey, Jeremy. Lets get going. We can make it out, if we stick together." He nods, and follows me out the room. And just like that, I have fucked up her game. I have deviated from the story, and even if he dies, it still won't be the same story. We head out the room. And a necromorph jumps down behind us, and stabs Jeremy in the back, right in the spine. He screams, and falls. The necro doesn't waste a second, and stabs him in the head, then twists, and rips it off. And so ends Jeremy.

I start to shoot the necro, blowing off one of hos limbs, but he dodges my next attack, and gets in closer. I back up, and stumble on a clipboard laying in the bloody hall. It is what saved my life. The monster had swiped at my head, and I wouldn't have been able to block it in time. I shoot the other limb off, and stand up, waiting for the second necromorph. It somes, and I have no trouble killing it.

I look to the body of Jeremy, and kneel next to him.

"Sorry bud. I really wish I could have saved you. Rest in peace."

I then stand and shoot the confined necromorph on the gurney, killing him. I then go around and loot the pinatas, by stomping or punching them. Then I move on, pat the necro in the gurney, to the door behind him.

Past the door, is a small scrub room. The room that doctors scrub up then go and do a surgery. I walk in, and get a call on my RIG.

'Isaac its me. You have to dismember the creatures to stop them.'

"I know, I've had a lot of practice." I say as I head through the small room.

'Just try and stay in one piece.'

I chuckle after she breaks the call. One piece, heh, luffy would be terrified.

I exit the room, into who hall that would have a save station usually. I looked around the hallway, and found something I liked.

It was a break glass in case emergency container, and it held fire ax, with a rubber like material covering the metal handle. I grabbed it, put it in my weapons inventory, and went through the door.

I was in a waiting room. It was open, and not as bright as the game, with a few more lights broken out. I moved in, and looked behind the desk to the right. I didn't find anything, so I moved on. The hall to the left had collapsed, and the area was on fire. I moved to the right, using the waypoint to show me where to go. I had found that to use it, I just hold my hand out and point it down, and the light would come on, pointing the way.

I walk down the right hall, and the fire sprinklers explode violently. I duck into an open recovery room, and grab the three thousand credits in there. Then, I turn and wait for the necromorphs to come. They drop from the vents, and start to run for me. I hold my ground, and when they get closer, I unleash my cutter upon them. They fall quickly, and I recover the loot from the corpses. I use my located again, and it tells me to go left, into a door. So, like any true gamer, I go right.

I look around the new lobby area, and see a wall box behind the desk. I open, and grab the credits. I then search some more, finding some ammo, and a health pack. I move towards the door, and remember something I usually did when I would play the game. I walked over to another collapsed and on fire area, and used my kinesis, focusing behind the fire and collapse. I pick up a box, and the kinesis brings it over for me to stomp. I grab the ammo, and move on.

The waypoint room was small, and had wall lockers all over. I decided to loot them ,and busted them open. Inside one, I found someone's lunch, so I sat for a second to eat it. Then, I moved to the next door. Inside the locker room here was some dead bodies. One of thrm, a soldier, had an audio recording playing. It was talking about him shooting the limbs off. I stomped the body, grabbed the candy, and moved on.

It was another waiting area. I ran around, exploring. I looked behind one of the desks, and had a text log, and a power node. The power node was about the size of a quarter. I used the locater, and headed towards the door it pointed to.

As I opened the door, I saw a man calling for me, saying to follow him. I didn't take the time to listen, and started to run, hoping to get to the security door before it closed. I ran down a couple ramps, and ran to the door, but it was already closed. I turned around, and called up Daina.

"Daina, your fucking route didn't work! See if you can find another route. I'm gonna kill any necromorphs that show up."

'I told you to hurry! How did you miss it?'

"Was a little fucking busy not dying, now just get me a route, for fucks sake!" I yell. I hear her huff on the other end of the RIG call, then it cut's off. Meanwhile, the necromorphs that drop into the room come out, but this time, they don't only have four. It was about ten dismembered bodies later, that the alarm that had been blaring in my ears, which I hadn't really noticed before, as I had been slightly worried about not slipping, tripping, and/or dying by unorthodox means, that I hadn't taken the time to notice the BRIGHT FLASHING RED LIGHTS, AND THE FUCKING ALARM! God, no wonder I was a little tense. Anyway, the ten necromorphs that had come had died, and I had mostly run out of ammo for my gun. So, I switched to my ax.

Daina called again.

'Alright, I got you another route. Uploading it to your RIG. Get moving, before Tiedmann finds you.'

I look at the desk to the area I am in, and hop it, seeing as the two doors to the side are locked. I grab the power node and text log, and then move on, through the adjoining door behind it.

I grip my ax tighter as the door opens, into a dark lit hall. I go through, and the door closes. I search around a little, finding a little ammo for my cutter, and move on through the door to the stasis bed triage room. I was about to get the stasis, and meet the only Twitcher ever found in Dead Space 2. At least by me. I switch my weapon back to the cutter, and enter.

When I do, I turn right, and enter the area proper. Multiple triage beds are scattered around the area, all containing a blue glow, and what looks like a Stargate portal at the back of them. I walk over to the electrical box, used to control all the stasis beds, and rip off the panel.

Now, in the game, this is the first hack panel. For me, in first person, I don't know what I am looking for, so I take a second to look up inside the panel box. Inside, up near the top, I could see three dial like fuses, so, I grabbed the first one, and started to spin it. As I spun it, I looked at the little screen near my head. When the dial light was blue, I pushed it like a button, and it plashed green. I moved on, doing it two more times, and the little bar that was the reset never got to red, though it was close. After the dial fuses were finished, the Twitcher fell out the vents, and then got stasised by the field in the center of the room. As that happened, a small device thing landed in my hand, while they were still in the panel. I pulled it out, and put it on. Then, in a split second of panic, as the Twitcher was coming back to speed, I pointed at it, and lightly gripped my hand.

The stasis bolt, that is what I will call it, came out, and struck the Twitcher, slowing it again. I immediately started to shoot it's limbs off. It was over in moments. I let out a breath I had for some reason held, and rested by one of the beds for a moment. After calming down over the second fastest enemy in Dead Space, I walked over to a pillar in the center of the room, that had door controls on it for the door out. I pushed the open button, and then, before walking over to the door, stasised it so it wouldn't move when the scanner came on, and wouldn't let me through. Then, I left the room. The next hallway had one door, so I stopped to grab the ammo, and then opened it.

To see someone groaning, and melting on the floor, coming out a door farther down the hall. I switched to my ax, knowing the enemy, and moved forward, stopping to kill the unfortunate soul who was still partially alive. Then, I moved into the morgue like room, and rushed at the first Puker. As I raised my ax, it split open slightly, and a hum came from it. I swung it at the Puker, and cleaved him in two, from shoulder to waist. I turned, and rushed the second Puker in the room, and chopped off an arm, and then cleaved his legs off. He fell, and his acid puke got on him, and started to eat him away, killing him for me. I looked at the ax, and I saw it was a vibro ax. I only saw stuff like them, a pick and a saw, but it made sense to have the ax be one, seeing as they were used to get through wood doors, and most here were metal, which a vibro ax could cut through.

I ran around the room, stomping the two necro corpses, and then pillaging the wall boxes, and grabbing the power node in the room. I walk out the door at the far side of the room to which I entered, and took a right in the hall to get to the elevator, which I called.

I entered the elevator, and pushed the holo-button to go down. The doors closed, and it started to move. About fifteen seconds later, the lights went out. I looked to the corner of the car, and saw her.

"You aren't playing my game correctly Isaac. Your supposed to play like the original game." I chuckle.

"Your the one who made it different when you put me in here, in first person, and had me try and hack something. When you put me in here, the entire game had been thrown off. I could have told Daina to fuck off, but I didn't. You wanna know why? Because I am not stupid. I know a certain number of events have to happen, for me to escape. So your game you made, is going to be played my way. Got it, bitch demon?" She gets angry, and screams at me, giving me a massive headache.

When I come to my senses, the elevator slows down, and opens. I get out. It was the baby area of the hospital. I forgot the real name, but I saw the balloons, the strollers, the flowers, everything that would be here. Including a fire. Wait, that wasn't here last time. Oh well. I walk up to the balloons, and pop them all with the ax. I then search around, and gather the power node, text log, and money nearby. Then, I move towards the hall on the right from the elevator.

I switch to my cutter, as I remember the room I am about to enter. Though, I have a thing in mind for how to avoid it. The room I was going in to was the critical needs patient room. Inside, there was two oxygen canisters by the breakable window, and the fire. So, when i opened the door, I quickly used my kinesis to pull the cans over to me, as fast as possible, to get them away from the fire. I got them, and the crisis was avoided. I then moved into the room, switched to the ax, and took out the necromorph that dropped in.

I moved through the door on the left of the entrance I came in, and into the small maintenance like area behind it. I walked through, and to the doorway into the room where I would 'GET MY SUPER SUIT.' I hope someone gets the reference. I stand there, and look. And see something that scares most player when they first play. Laying on the ground, was a necromorph. Now there is a reason I didn't add corpse. Because this isn't dead. I walk up to it, and I slam my ax into it's body, and it tries to get up. I pin the living jumpscare, and pull my ax out, and swing it again, cleaving it in half. I then pillage the body, and move behind it to the power node box, retrieving said node.

And then, I move to the store. I move to it, and it opens up as I get really close. I take a look at what is for sale first, and I see that the agreed upon items are in it. In fact, I see six items. The suit I asked for, power nodes, small health packs, plasma cutter ammo, the two inventory slot upgrade, and the Refurbished Plasma Cutter. The suit and Cutter are like the game, and don't cost money. I get the gun first, and sell the old cutter. It doesn't appear in the store, to buy later, but in the safe. I then buy some ammo, before getting the suit. After I purchase the suit, I get ready to step in to the kiosk.

I step in, and place my feet into the designated slots, where they clamp down on top. I had read some Dead Space stuff one time, and it had a picture of the suit store, and it told you proper procedure when getting suited up. So, I knew how to do it, but it was very foggy. I knew to not move, and to close my eyes. I push my legs back, and the clasps behind them grab hold. I then put my arms to the sides, and the clasps there take hold. I then put my back against, before leaning back, and closing my eyes.

The door closed, I could hear it. I heard the machine start up, and the suit started to be put on. It started with the boots, and I could feel them be put on. I relaxed as best I could, and held my hands out limp, and the suit went on to my legs. I sucked in, as it had talked about needing to do so when it got to the chest for some reason, and the suit chest area was put on. The waistline, I remembered, could be adjusted, but it was fine as it was, and felt nice and tight, while loose enough to bend. Then, I felt the helmet coming on. I kept my head held up, and back, as the helmet was placed. Then, when it was, the folding mechanism activated, and it folded up. Finally, the gloves. They went on, and were sealed to the suit. After that, the door opened, and the clamps released me. I stepped out, and went through a similar range of motion Isaac usually does, rolling my shoulders, and checking the flaps and other pieces of my suit. Then, I activated the helmet, and it came out and formed up into the helmet. It was weird, seeing out the helmet. It had the slots, but I couldn't see out them. Instead, it had a camera on the forehead, that displayed a live feed to my retinas. It literally beamed everything I saw onto the back of my eyeballs, to be picked up by my brain, and then converted into an actual picture that could be registered. I would have nerded out further, if it wasn't for the fact I had to finish the game, and get home. So with that in mind, I bot two inventory slot upgrades from the store, and left it be. I was ready to move on.

I had a boss to go fight.

Author's Note

So guys, this is the next little arc I had an idea for. After this arc is finished, I have a very cool arc idea, one that I have already partially set up for already. I think you guys will love the next arc, but in the meantime, while I get some of it's details ready, I am going to right my Dead Space 2 arc. It won't be original Dead Space 2, as you already saw, and as I said to "Nicole" for lack of a better name for the demon that has trapped me. And yes, it is a demon that has me trapped, not some for fun thing. It seriously thinks I will die. I might, but you will have to see. Also, I am going to slightly spoil something for you, I am going to have it be a pistol only type challenge. It is a hardcore, pistol only challenge run. I have the vibro ax, but that is the only other weapon. The four things left in the store, are the only things I get. I can find the stasis pack and other health pack schematics, but the four store items are the only things I get. I had to give my own idea for how you see out the suit for this story though, so don't go criticizing me for it being bad, it was the most logical option. Anyways, It is late right now as I finish this, so I am going to bed.

Have a Jivin day!
