The Jinns Amongst Us

Chapter 42

Soon, Tim awakens slowly, with a ringing sound in his head and a feel of dizziness. "What the.. where.." said Tim as the ringing sound increases to which his ears almost seem like bursting as he gasps in pain.

"Stop.. make it stop." yelled Tim to which he can't even hear his own noise and soon, he catches glimpses of people carrying up away and him feeling too weakened to stop them or struggle.

Soon, unable to cope in the sound, he falls back into sleep as his eyes closes, and as soon as he does, with a sudden whoop and he wakes up once again, but this time right inside a body bag.

"What the... hey! let me out, let me.." said Tim as he panics for a second and struggles to find the zip line of the body bag to which he pushes downwards and gets himself freed.

"I... where the.." said Tim as he looks around to find himself in a room containing garbages, a dumpster of sort where countless bagged bodies and garbage are dumped.

"I'm in a.. I'm in a garbage bag?" asked Tim when suddenly the crusher on the center of the dumpster starts turning on by itself as it continues crushing all the other garbages which frightens Tim.

"No! no, no, no, hey! I'm trapped in here! guys!" yelled Tim to which no response comes since he is the only living person within there. As the crusher starts pulling in all the garbages, Tim rushes out of the body bag and starts running away from the crusher's path as it continues bursting down the dead bodies into pieces.

Despite feeling weak, he manages to reach towards the wall of the room which is made of thick metal, impenetrable to break in.

"Oh s**t, no, no, this can't be happening." cried Tim as he taps down on the wall repeatedly to let him out, but due to the amount of noise the crusher makes, Tim's seems to have no hope to which he bashes on the wall with all this might in agony as he cries.

"No, no.. I'm trapped in here, please help." cried Tim as he pounds on the wall over and over again, until his blow eventually tears down a hole.

"Wait a minute.. what?" asked Tim as he looks towards his hand to find not even a single scratch but the amount of times he landed on the wall almost teared it open.

"No way.." said Tim as he takes a deep breath, then gets ready as he starts pounding on the wall with much might as possible and with each punches he lands, the wall blends almost like a hardened metal rammed on the wall.

After several pounds he makes several holes within the wall, out of one which is large enough to put both his hands inside and rip it wide open as his way becomes open.

"Cool." said Tim as he takes a quick look at his hands just as he steps out of the hole. But soon, a red bursts out within all halls to which soldiers rush away out of one room as Tim hides back into the hole as they approach outside, but venture out the other way in rush with their weapons loaded.

After everyone had left, Tim starts walking towards the section they've came out of and stumbles in to find various types of weapons laid all over the place, including various types of uniforms worn by the creed soldiers. "Damm.." said Tim as he goes onto to change his garbage smelt clothes to a Creed uniform and wears even the body armour including the helmet with built in binoculars and gasmask as he then approaches the weapons section.

"Nice toys." said Tim as he stumbles upon several types of rifle blasters which he takes one, aims at a certain point to fit his hand, after wielding in the correct weapon, he equips various other things like combat knife, ammo belt and even a pack of grenades and departs his way from the room full equipped to the maximum.

Not knowing where to go, he decides to blend in with the other soldiers to figure out what's going on and what happened to Khayun and the others on the aftermath of his procedure. After reaching the end of the hall, he climbs towards the stairs and reaches onto the rooftop which appears to be on top of the Creed facility where loads of helipad await with choppers taking off as they get filled in with soldiers.

Despite being a stormy night and night time, the soldiers keep on going on by one into the chopper while Tim remains in still, looking around with not knowing what to do while the last of the soldiers step onboard into the last chopper but finds one more slot of soldier to be filled. "We just need one more, then we can take off." said the pilot to which the soldier looks towards Tim.

"Hey! you there, get in!" yelled the soldier to which Tim turns and sighs as he rushes towards the chopper and gets in. "What's going on?" asked Tim as the chopper begins to take off. "What do you mean what's going on? didn't you hear the briefing?" asked the soldier. "I. uhm... slept through it, sorry." said Tim. "Damnit, recruits, listen here rookie, very carefully alright, what's your name first?" asked the soldier.

"Tim.. Timothy Blake, sir." said Tim.

"I'm not a sir, I'm your squad mate, listen, one of our base established within a freaking carnival reported beings coming back to life and squashing the s**t out of them." said the soldier. "Why would they built their in the first place then?" asked Tim. "This kid's got some balls, listen kid, we don't ask the questions, the big guy says to move, we move, either we finish the task, or die trying." said another soldier.

"Noted." said Tim.

"Continuing on, our task is simple, move in, find the bastard doing all this s**t who from the looks of it, appears to be in the center, it looks like a beacon lighting at the sky, we go there, blast it, and mission's over, got it?" asked the soldier.

"Why don't we just nuke it then? you know, the beacon?" asked Tim. "If we nuke it, Creed loses all resources of weaponizing it, got it? only reason we're sent here instead of weapons is to contain the threat and bring it back safely, failure to do so will end with us in termination, got it?" asked the soldier.

"Roger that, squad mate." said Tim as the chopper keeps heading.

Soon, they reach towards their destination where a small research base is established in centre of a carnival park with a beam of light at the center, even though many soldiers land on and depart, many go missing into the thick fog which seems to plague the land.

As the chopper Tim is boarded into lands, soldiers start deploying and head straight towards the base while Tim moves a bit but within a confusion on whether or not he should move directly into the face of death, he stares and waits with a certain hesitation.

Seeing this, the soldier whom he was talking to prior rushes back and approaches him to comfort him. "You doing alright kid?" asked the soldier.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm okay." said Tim.

"Don't worry, I'm gonna get you out safety alright, stick with me at all times, do you understand me?" asked the soldier. "Yeah, yeah, I understand." said Tim.

"Good, let's move." said the soldier as he and Tim head out into the unknown. As they move with rapid speed, only the sounds of the storm remains loud while nothing unusual or any threats are there to be seen at first, but as they continue down deeper, a soldier starts screaming far ahead of them.

Hearing this, the other soldiers stop moving and attempt to switch into their thermal vision to see the threat. "What? what are you guys doing?" asked Tim who finds it confusing on how to switch to thermal vision.

"Damnit, recruits!" yelled the soldier as he returns back once again and attempts to switch on his thermal vision and just as he does, he is squashed by a huge hammer which slams him right out of the sky, freezing Tim to death.

"Holy s**t!" yelled Tim as his thermal vision detects the threat to be a giant clown, with a big hammer on his hand as he screamingly laughs while holding his hammer out to another shot. "No, freaking, way." said Tim as he quickly snaps out of it and starts fleeing towards the destination he was pointed to in his GPS.

"The toys! the freaking toys! they're coming back to life!" yelled another soldier as Tim runs whom he finds to be brutally tortured by popular cartoon figures whom had come back to life. "Freak show." said Tim who continues running towards the beam but suddenly gets caught in a trap when a rope laid out catches his leg and pulls him away at a rapid speed towards a another direction.

"Aw.. s**t! s**t!" yelled Tim as he tries to free himself but given how much speed he is being pulled, it is impossible to.

As he is being pulled, he witness soldiers being killed and brutality tortured by clowns and weird toy like figures who had transformed into a monstrous versions of themselves, it appears to be almost like the park had come to life to kill the humans as one by one are getting killed, despite them trying their best to defend.

The rope Tim was pulled into reaches its end when he is hanged up by a cartoonic like trap which had been pulling him all along.

"What's up? somewhere you want to go you filthy bastard?" asked a mysterious figure revealed to be a dark version of a popular cartoon character, Beon the bunny.
