Submergence

[Remilia Scarlet]

The corridor,

It wasn't lit and only few voices could be heared coming from it.

"Follow the light"

She was hearing the voice. Thought it's her own. This voice has awakened her several times as she was laying on the floor of the cell and now it was leading her forward. Remilia's mind was already at it's limit. The picture, the vision, came to her mind and she saw and felt the agony and pain of thousand death, she saw hundreds of people suffering and screaming in pain.

"No.. No.. Please, no.."

The lone man was standing near the comm devices that was mounted on the wall and was trying to calibrate it to make it work. Finally it switched back on and he attempted to call someone asking of what happened with the light but then light switched off and began to flash again. The other doors to other cells were closed so Remilia was just slowly sneaking towards the man.

She picked up a little iron pipe from some trash pile.

She was so close so she could her his breath.

"Die.."

The blood has covered her face as she hited the guard's head with the pipe breaking through the scull. The guard falled down on the floor and wasn't showing any signs of life. She felt.. warmth. But it wasn't enough.

The vision of pain suddenly stoke her mind and she felt down on her knees. The pain was so real... she saw and felt the horrors of all the most horrible wars.

Two figures flashed ahead. Guards passed the crossing down to another corridor. They were in a hurry and Remilia followed them.

She passed few other doors and crossings but most of the doors were dead locked. She went after the guards and the door to the next corridor has opened before her automatically. After passing few more turns she finally found those two. They were standing before the closed door and one of them was trying to open it up from the console on the wall. Another one was standing behind him.

"Make it stop!"

The one that was working with the console has suddenly saw the blood covering the wall and the floor near him. He turned around swearing.

A single shot in the dark.

What does it mean to feel the death of hundreds of planets? The scream, full of suffer, filled the corridor. The feeling was so bright that she couldn't stand on the legs again. Tear drops were running through her face. She got back on her feet trying to calm down. Her body was shaking.

One of the guards had a small but sharp sword with him, a long term KNF tradition among the officers. The tradition of the warriors of the past. She took it with her.

"Away.. run.. away.."

Remilia was moving forward and some few more guards met their death. Light kept flashing on and off so that she could silently attack and cut their throats before they could realized what was happening.

The voice kept guiding her. She was listening to him. The voice was always right.

Soon she reached out to a wide, but poorly lit passage with several doors at it's sides. The huge airlock to the next level of the station was ahead and she went straight to it. When she was half way there the light in the corridor suddenly blinked and few doors at sides slowly slide to the sides opening the cells. The cells were small. And they weren't empty. Around a dozen of people, pale and dirty, showed up. Males, Females, adults of various ages and kids.

Pain stoke again with the visions coming back. This time it was much more intense... She was screaming in pain. Stop it. Stop it!

She got to her feet.

"ENOUGH!!!!"

The blade sliced ​​through the man's chest who approached her at arm's length.

The corridor got filled with screams and cries. She didn't heard them. She couldn't.

The slaughter didn't ended up quickly, many was still writhing on the floor in agony and their cries were cutting her mind like knives. But she was feeling their blood on her arms.

And she was laughing.
