We check our corners left and right. This place is more like a maze than a bunker. Granted this red shit that's everywhere is just making visibility worse. Especially when its also kinda dark with only red emergency lights being our only source of brightness. When will fucking Allister get over here and get this smoke out of here! At least I'm not alone, I'm here with Dogday, my sunshi-
"Welcome you two." I heard a staticky voice coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Like it was just being said right in my head, looking over at Dogday, it seems that she hears it too. "Let's see how the two of you counteract this!" The voice said as I see a flashbang roll towards us.
When my vision came back I saw Dogday with her gas mask screen with a large hole in it. She was trying her best to hold her breath but she was struggling a lot now. "Stay still, trust me!" I said to her. She stopped squirming as I took off her gas mask. I then took off mine and helped her put it on, she was almost gonna pass out from not breathing. I then gave her my gun and pushed her away as I tried to escape the room. The door that we came from had locked and I couldn't leave. I turned back to Dogday and she was staring at me in horror, finally noticing what I had done. I tried to hold my breath for as long as I could until I could hold it no longer, and I took a deep breath-
-
-
Wait. Where am I?
-
No...
-
No!
-
Im back at the fucking plane!
-
Not here.
-
Not now.
-
I see my parents.
-
They look at me like they already know what's gonna happen!
-
I see the person that blew everything up.
-
Why does that person... Look like Dogday?
-
No. This isn't real.
-
Dogday was never on that plane.
-
She wasn't even born!
-
It was just some random FUCKHEAD!
-
Who wanted to kill himself, and as much people before he died!
-
Like the selfish prick they are!
-
But I can't stop seeing Dogday.
-
I can only see that she did it.
-
She did it.
-
She blew up the plane.
-
Along with my parents.
-
She looks fucking scared.
-
She should be.
-
Because Im here.
-
I grab my knife at my side and walk towards her. I think im smiling.

When I found out what Catnap had done, I couldn't believe it. He took off his own mask to give it to me? And now because he couldn't escape from the room, he's gonna start attacking me! Slowly I put down both my rifle and Catnap's gun. "Catnap? Are you still there? Are you okay?" I said as calmly as I could to not rile him up, I didn't know what would happen to him except either something about mind control or him getting more aggressive. He was just staring there though.
But eventually he had pulled out his knife and started smiling at me menacingly. I didn't know what the hell to do at this point, I think Catnap's gonna kill me. I start backing away slowly as he also walks towards me. "Catnap please it's me! Dogday! Do you remember?!" I said to him, to get him to snap out of whatever he's in. I'm not sure if it's even gonna work but I have to try. "Oh you cannot say anything to him, as he cannot hear anything except altered memories." I heard that same staticky voice. No... I can't hurt Catnap.
"Catnap please! I don't want to hurt you!!" I said pleadingly to Catnap. But then he just started running towards me, with that unchanging deranged expression...
...
...
I don't know how long I can keep dodging his attacks. He just keeps slashing and stabbing at me with his knife. He was even able to get me a few times. "Dogday!? Catnap!? Can you guys hear me?! If so then Allister and the rest are almost there, just hold out for a bit longer!" I heard from my radio. Finally. I need to get some initiative back so I looked around for anything that would at least incapacitate him enough so I could maybe restrain him and hold him long enough so I could either kill the prototype, or the rest of the critters come back with Allister and exhaust out this smoke. I see an opportunity when he strikes forward, I then redirect his knife to his right while I punch and kick him in his left. "ARGH FUCK!!!!" He screams out in pain as he looks at me for a moment, he looks like he's back to normal, but then he closes his eyes and when he opens them he has a dead pan expression on his face as he readies his knife again.
I am only able to doge a few more until he throws me to the ground and pins me down with the knife to my throat. And then he leans down and bites my neck? I scream in shock and in pain but it doesn't hurt really. It actually feels loving in a way...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"ARGH FUCK!!!!" I yell out, because of the large pain at my side. I look around to see Dogday bleeding in some areas. I remember now, I was under a trance because of the smoke, and I'm not under the trance anymore because I'm not breathing anymore. I may have a plan to win this. I then try to calm myself down and prepare my lungs to be able to hold my breath for as long as possible. Once I'm ready I go and swing at Dogday. She dodges the first few hits until I was able to throw her and pin her to the ground, holding my knife to her throat. And then, to bait out the prototype, I bite her on the neck making her scream. I focus as much as I can until I hear some footsteps coming behind mw and some staticky laughter alongside it. I then threw my knife at the noise, it then disappears into the smoke while I hear a staticky screech. I then pull out my pistol and shot a few times where I threw the knife.
After that I held my mouth shut to not breath in more smoke. That is until I heard something coming from Dogday. "Dogday, in about 30 seconds the exhausts will come online and clear out the inside. So just hold on!" I heard from her radio. Im not gonna last that long. Dogday then came up to me and took off her gasmask and made me put it on. After putting it on I could finally breathe. I held Dogday as I counted down for Dogday to hear. "30, 29, 28, 27..." Just hold on Dogday. You can make it, just hold your breath. "19, 18, 17, 16, 15..." Halfway. We're halfway, just a bit longer. "10, 9, 8..." She's shaking. She looks like she's about to faint. "3, 2, 1, 0!" I said as I hear from her radio. "Alright, venting out the air now!"
After a few moments the smoke slowly dissipates, as Dogday can breathe again, I take off my gas mask at the same time the normal lights turn on. We look around to see the prototype, on the floor bleeding out, still twitching. I walked over and made sure that he was dead.
.

After that Dogday ran towards me, hugging me. "Don't you ever do that again! Ever! I was so worried!" She said while crying into my shoulder. "Yeah, Im sorry Dogda- Argh!?" I yelled out as I clutched my side, Dogday pulling away from the hug. "Oh no! Your wound! There might be some medical stuff here. Stay here, I'll be right back." She said running off elsewhere. I then take off my carrier and lifted my shirt to reveal bandages pooling with blood. She eventually came back with a first aid kit, out of breath like she ran around the bunker frantically. And then the process happens again...
...
"Heh, its funny." She said after patching me up. "What is?" I said to her, looking confused. "This is the third time I've had to patch you up in the span of a few days. And those two times were because of me hurting you." She said with a soft smile, slightly crying. "Hey its okay. You only did that because you had to, you didn't have a choice." I said to comfort her. She said nothing as she hugged me, feeling tears fall on my shoulder. "Shhhh, its okay... Look at me." I tell her. She then looks up with tear filled eyes, sniffling. "You've got something in your eyes. It's me getting lost in them." I say as I'm wiping away her tears. I slowly lean towards her, making the move. She notices what I'm gonna do and leans in also until our lips finally connect.
It was a short and gentle kiss. When we pulled away we looked eachother in the eyes. "I love you Dogday." I say to her smiling. She smiles back. "I love you too Catnap." She said back as we started kissing again. Just then we heard clapping and cheering coming from the door. We pulled away from the kiss to see everyone now inside the room, cheering for me and Dogday...
