11 The Judge and Executioner on B3

"Why can't we just go all the way to the top?"

The first sight they were met with was what looked to be a set of bars blocking the path up ahead. On the floor there looked to be a red carpet, and on the ceiling there were two cameras both at a different angle as it had pointed towards them along with what looked to be a speaker; this had perplexed all of them, as they stepped off the elevator.

"This place looks creepy…" Faith said as she shivered.

"Ditto." Eddie said, looking around.

Kristen and Rachel stepped towards the bars. They both tried to look ahead though they couldn't tell what had been in front of them. As Rachel tried to pull on the bars, Kristen examined the door, on the outside, but found that there had been no keyhole.

"The doors locked." Rachel said to the group.

"It doesn't look like there's anything here that we can use." Faith soon concluded after taking one more look.

"You honestly don't expect me to have the answers do you?" Zack said to the group, "I thought you guys were supposed to be smart so think of something."

Rachel, Faith and Kristen started to put their minds to work, as they thought of what to do. Eddie soon took notice of Faith's backpack. "You seem more prepared than any of us." Eddie said to her, "Do you have something that can help?"

"Oh well…" Faith started to say, as she removed the bag, "...I'm afraid other than my walkie I don't have much…"

She started to remove the continents in her bag. She got out a notebook, a couple of textbooks, one on history, the other having to do with science, a pencil case, a lunchbox, and a broken cellphone.

"This is all I have on me." Faith told me, "Though I doubt they're going to be much help."

"There's still food in there?" Eddie asked, pointing to the lunchbox.

"Yeah, but it's just a couple of snacks, nothing too filling." Faith replied, "I was saving them in case I ran out of food while I was still in hiding. I haven't opened them so they're still good to eat if we get hungry later."

"How about the phone?" Kristen asked.

"It's my brother's phone." Faith said, "Despite the cracked screen I can still turn it on, but as long as we're here, I can't get a signal. I've been keeping it off the whole time so the battery remains full."

"Good thinking with that one, but I guess it's pointless of me to think we can call for help." Kristen said, "Just so we can save time."

"So you're saying you got nothing in there that can help?" Zack asked.

Faith only shook her head in disappointment, making Zack click his tongue. "Hey, it's alright." Kristen said as she patted her on the shoulder.

"Yeah." Eddie added, "It was a good shot anyway."

"Thanks you guys." Faith said to them with a smile, before she started to repack everything into her bag. "What about you Kris?" Zack asked as he noticed the messenger bag around her, "You got anything in there?"

"Just some extra bullets." Kristen replied, "Other than that, there's nothing of use."

She soon noticed that Rachel had been staying quiet the entire time. Her hand was hovering the metal latch that kept her bag closed; the others soon noticed this too. "Now that I think about it…" Faith said, "You've had that bag the whole time and we never asked what was in it."

"Rachel, do you have something that might help?" Kristen asked.

Rachel didn't reply, but Kristen could've sworn that her face changed a little.

"Don't be shy, tell us what's in it." Zack told her.

This time, Rachel had responded, "A needle… Some thread… And--"

"Hey, are you one of those badasses than can pick a lock with a needle and thread?" Zack soon asked, as he sounded strangely excited. Kristen was left baffled, Faith gave him an awkward look while Eddie slapped himself in the face. Rachel on the other hand let out a sigh, "I don't have that kind of talent."

"It's not like it'll matter." Kristen told him, "There's no keyhole on the door."

"Than what the fuck is the point of having a needle!?" Zack exclaimed, before he was slapped in the head, courtesy of Kristen.

"You did say that you knew how to sew before didn't you?" Faith soon asked, earning a nod from Rachel.

"Than it could come in handy if one of us gets injured." Eddie soon concluded.

Zack's eyebrow twitched at this, "MOVE IT! I'LL SMASH IT OPEN MYSELF!"

"But they're iron bars." Rachel stated.

"SO!?" Zack exclaimed.

Kristen started to say, "... Unless you're Superman, these bars ain't gonna break for you."

"SHUT UP!" He shouted, "WE'RE NOT GONNA KNOW UNLESS WE TRY!"

Kristen let out a groan, "Seriously? Did you not process what I just said?"

"AND I SUPPOSE YOU GOT A BETTER IDEA!?" Zack yelled.

Kristen had been about to retort but stop herself when no good ideas came to mind. She threw her hands in the air, "You know what, I'll just shut up and let you do your thing."

"Thank you!" He said with a bit of sarcasm.

He swung his scythe hitting the bars with all of his strength. Though as expected, the bars didn't even dent and his body shook a little.

"SO HARD!!" Zack exclaimed.

"It's made of iron genius." Eddie told him.

"A LITTLE WARNING NEXT TIME WOULD HELP!!" Zack shouted.

"We did." Rachel and Kristen said in unison.

All of a sudden an alarm started to go off, as they were startled by the sound and a red light, making their heads dart around all that surrounded them.

"That doesn't sound good." Faith said.

Kristen and Zack soon heard the sound of something opening nearby; it had been directed towards the ceiling. Their eyes widened when they saw what it had been.

"GUN!!" Kristen exclaimed as she went to grab Rachel and Eddie.

"GET DOWN!" Zack yelled as he grabbed Faith.

The gun went off, just as they moved out of the way, with Kristen using her body to protect Eddie and Rachel in case the bullets ricochet, and Zack pulling Faith by the back of her shirt; it had fired rapidly, firing many rounds at where they were standing. Eventually it stopped as the gun began to slow itself down. The group looked, as they saw the floor had been riddled with holes now.

"Holy crap…" Eddie said surprised, just as Kristen removed herself from him and Rachel.

"Is someone trying to make swiss cheese out of us?" Zack wondered aloud as he still held onto Faith.

They soon heard the PA come online; followed by the sound of a voice belonging to a woman.

"Hi Zack~!" The woman said cheerfully, "Sorry I'm late! You guys took so long to get here that I fell asleep."

"The hell?" Kristen said, before looking at Zack, "Who is that?"

"I don't got a fucking clue." Zack told her.

"I guess that's the master of this floor." Faith soon concluded, as she looked to Eddie, "Right?"

"Maybe." Eddie added, "Like I said, I've never been beyond my own floor."

"Still…" They heard her say, "... I'm amazed that didn't kill any of you. You and Krissy there have an amazing intuition! I had a feeling you two would make fantastic criminals." Though she wasn't in the same room right now, Kristen could've sworn she felt the moment she licked her lips, "The anticipation must've woke me up."

"Krissy?" Kristen said with a shiever.

"I don't give a shit on how you woke up!" Zack told the person as he let Faith stand up before he turned to the camera, "Just open the damn door and let us through!"

"Of course." The woman replied.

The lights soon came on, as if they had been spotlights; they were taken back when they saw confetti fell from the ceiling, which took them back. They also heard the sound of a recording of people cheering.

"You all passed!" They heard her say.

"What in the world…?"Faith said, just perplexed.

"I am… The judge on this floor."The woman said, "Oh! You sinful evildoers! I will torment you until your sins are forgiven! I am the ONE who has permitted to do that!"

They heard her give a laugh over the speakers, which couldn't help but send shivers down their spines; though Zack found himself hating the sound of her voice, even Eddie. They soon heard the door give a click, and the light that had been provided turned green before it slid open for them.

"I never thought she'd never shut her damn piercing mouth." Zack said annoyed as he started to walk away, "Why the hell do I have to get punished?"

"We're sinners…" Rachel had soon been heard mumbling.

"Rachel?" Kristen said a little worried.

"Hey! Come on, let's go!" Zack told the group.

After they gave each other a glance before they followed behind Zack. They went down the red pathway provided, eventually reaching what looked to be a couple of doors leading to different rooms on the floor. Rachel and Eddie went to try the doors across from one another.

"It's locked." Rachel said.

"This one too." Eddie added.

"Seriously?" Faith said shocked, "What are the odds of that?"

"What gives!?" Kristen said looking at the camera nearby, "I thought you were going to let us pass!"

"My, my, I didn't know you were impatient Krissy." The woman said, "I haven't even finished putting on my make-up yet."

"That's what you're concerned about!?" Kristen exclaimed.

"There's a procedure that every criminal has to go through being punished." The woman said before she chuckled, "But than again, you would know all about that wouldn't you my dear?"

Kristen couldn't help but flinch, though she didn't realize that Zack had been looking in her direction, when he noticed her expression change.

"Just start getting ready to accept your punishment." The woman said, "I'll open up a room for you to use. Every criminal needs a mugshot. The five of you can take yours. And don't forget to wear your name boards."

They heard the door that Eddie stood in front of let out a click. When he turned the knob, it opened wide, revealing a room with a single camera and desk; nameboards on the side along with a table, and the camera had been sitting on a tripod.

Each of them took their own nameboard; all except for Zack and Kristen. While Zack looked annoyed, Kristen couldn't help but look uneasy.

"… This is bringing back unpleasant memories." Kristen said, looking at the nameboard that sat on the table.

"Seriously…" Zack said, "... With all the shit we just went through, we gotta do a photoshoot?"

"Like it or not, we gotta do it." Eddie told him, "It's the only way we're gonna keep moving forward."

"Trust me, I don't like this as much as you do, but we have no choice." Faith said.

Rachel took the board, and handed it over to Zack, "Here. Take it."

Zack looked to the three of them, as they had waited eagerly for him to take.

"Gah! Fine!" He said before he took the name board from her, "Give me that!"

He looked at the name board giving it a curious look. "What does this even say?"

"Your name." Kristen told him as she finally turned to him. She pointed to his name, pronouncing it for him, "See? Is--aac--Fo--Ster--"

Zack was about to say something, though strangely found himself struggling to do so, as Kristen had been in close proximity with him. Just before he could, Rachel spoke up, "Let's not waste anymore time. Zack. Hang it around your neck and go stand over there."

"Fine, miss boss lady." Zack huffed as he put his scythe to the side.

With that being said, Zack had been the first to go up against the wall with Kristen taking the picture. The only problem however, was the fact that Zack had still been moving; Well actually he was more fidgety. Guess he's not used to standing still, is what Kristen thought to herself. "Hurry up and take a picture!" Zack said as he started to move the name board around.

"I would if you'd stop moving!" Kristen told him.

"Who the hell cares!?" He shouted as his body still shook, "We just gotta take the damn photo don't we?!"

"It's gonna come out blurry if I take it now!"

"WHAT THE FUCK!? ARE YOU TAKING THIS SERIO--"

"FREEZE!"

She just happened to take a photo where Zack had been standing perfectly with his arms out. Kristen, Faith and Eddie tried real hard not to laugh at the expression he made, as he had just been speechless.

She soon had Faith stand in front of the camera. The young teen stood straight, as if it had been picture day. Than next came Eddie as he held the name board in front of, just enough so that it could cover his mouth.

All the while she did this, Zack looked over her shoulder watching closely as she worked. He couldn't help but think about where he had seen her before, or even why he was giving a crap about it to begin with. The thought had been driving him crazy to this point as to why Kristen had been giving off a familiar aura, or even why he cared about whether she lived or died.

Soon enough, it came time to take Rachel's photo.

"Hey!" Zack told Kristen just as she finished setting up the tripod, "Let me take the damn picture!"

Kristen looked at him surprised, "Really? You wanna work the camera?"

"Did I fucking stutter?" He said as it had been more like a statement.

"You sure you know how to work this?" She asked.

For a moment Zack paused as he kept trying to open his mouth to say something, though he kept on shutting his mouth. As he repeated this pattern his eyebrow twitched slightly; Kristen couldn't help but giggle.

"Here, let me show you mummy." She said as she put him in front, before she pointed to the button the camera provided, "The height's already been set up, so all you gotta do is just push the button here."

"That's it?" Zack asked, "Just like that?"

"Yup." Kristen said as she backed up a little, "Just press the button and let the camera do it's magic."

Zack looked to the camera and formed his hand into a fist.

"Wait, don't press it to--"

Kristen had been cut off when a bright flash blinded her for a moment, before she realized that he hit the button with his fist.

"--Hard." Kristen finally finished, taking note that Rachel had made a cringe look on her face at the way Zack handled the camera. "Kristen, I'll take your photo." Rachel said as she stepped out of it's camera frame.

Kristen nodded and smiled at her, "Sounds like a good plan."

She soon stepped in front of the camera, with Rachel manning the camera now. Though as she stood straight, she could almost swear that her vision had gone a bit blurry for a second, and the things that surrounded, seemed to have changed to something different entirely.

She could've sworn she found herself in what looked to be a dark room.

"Kristen?"

She jumped slightly when she heard Rachel's voice.

"Are you ready?" Rachel asked, not noticing how Kristen was acting, "I'm about to take the picture."

She sighed, "Just get it over with."

Rachel gave a nod as she went behind the camera, adjusting slightly so that it had been in focus. Kristen held up the nameboard, before she had been taken back by the flash. For a brief moment she thought her surroundings around her changed again.

She could've sworn she found herself back in the police station. Though when she blinked, she found nothing had changed.

"What in the…"

"The pictures are done developing." Faith soon announced to the group.

Each of them gathered around, as Faith took the photos that had been on the side for the moment, followed by Kristen's photo. They each looked over it, only to see that Rachel's photo had been hard to see.

"It's blurry." Rachel commented.

"Who cares if it is, we got the pictures didn't we?" Zack told her.

"You idiot! You ruined Rachel's perfect image!" Eddie told him as he started to hit him, "You should be ashamed!"

"Quit hitting me you shitty brat!" Zack shouted as he punched him at the top of his head.

"FOR THE LAST TIME, I'M NOT A SHITTY BRAT!"

"DO YOU WANT ME TO CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT KILLING YOU!?"

"SQUARE UP!"

Just like a puff of smoke appeared as they started to throw punches at one another. "Ah. It's shifted." Rachel said still with a monotone voice.

"You're right…" Faith said awkwardly as she looked at Kristen and back at the two currently fighting, "... Now I'm REALLY worried."

Kristen looked at her own photo before she looked at the one on her profile. She let out another sigh when she compared the two of them. "What's wrong?" Rachel asked when she noticed the look on her face.

"Oh, it's just that--" Kristen started to say hesitantly, "--There's not much difference to my old mugshot." The child's expression softened at this as she looked at the photo. "You know something about people with red eyes…" Kristen started to say as her eyes still had been at the photos, "... There said to be cursed… When the officers took my photo, they told me how ugly I looked… Guess they were right about that."

She was surprised to see that the child shook her head, "That's not true… You look beautiful."

"Oh…" She said surprised, "... Thanks…"

Neither of them had realized that Zack and Eddie had stopped fighting as Zack's expression changed once again. He clicked his tongue before swiping the picture from her hands. "Let's just move on." He said, before holding the picture to the camera on the ceiling, "HERE BITCH! YOU HAPPY!?"

"What's gotten him so angry?" Kristen had thought to herself.

Just as they exited the room, they saw the bars at the end of the hall opened, revealing another pathway. With no other option they proceeded down the hall where no light had been seen. At least most of them did.

Kristen found herself stopping in her tracks as she stared upon the darkened hallway as the others went on ahead. However they were quick to notice how she acted.

"Kristen?" Rachel asked, "Aren't you coming?"

"I--" Kristen started to say as her legs shook, "--I'm sorry. I don't think I can--"

"Oh that's right." Eddie said, "You're not used to the dark, right?"

"It's alright Kristen." Faith told her, "We're all right here so you don't have to be scared."

"I know that but--" She said, "--I can't seem to move my legs."

The group looked at each other as they had all but concerned looks on their faces. The three of them were unsure of what to do, until Zack stepped towards her. She was surprised as ever when he took her hand.

"Come on, we're wasting time." Zack said, almost sounding aggressive.

Just before she could protest, she found him leading down the hall, surprising the three of them as he walked ahead with her. Eventually they started to follow behind the two of them. Though she had been lagging behind him, Kristen kept a firm hold on Zack's hand, trying her best to keep herself from breaking down right than and there as she couldn't help but find Zack's actions to be odd right now.

"This is really strange…" She thought, "... I know he's a serial killer, and he told me himself that he doesn't care about me, and yet… Why is this feeling… Familiar?"

They had soon been getting to the end of the hall. Though as they were about to approach the door, they noticed something on the walls. There appeared to be drawings that looked as though they were done by a child. One looked to be a stick figure in a chair, another with a face with X's on their eyes and a stick figure in a house, a drawing of a syringe and one more stick figure. The last and final one looked to have a noose around their neck.

"What is with all these doodles?" Faith wondered aloud.

"Don't know but these drawings are sure as hell crappy." Zack said.

Rachel and Eddie nodded in reply, just as Kristen looked at the drawings herself.

"Aw, that's mean!" They heard the woman say, "I did the best I could. Those drawings are wonderful punishments I have in store for all of you! I'm going to give you a choice."

"What kind of choice?" Faith asked the voice.

"That answer is simple!" She said, "There are many ways to make a judgement you see! Many harsh punishments await for all of you. Would one of you rather stay in a cell forever?"

The group minus Rachel and Zack looked surprised at this. "How is THAT choice any better?!" Kristen and Eddie questioned.

Zack spit to the side as he added, "Who the hell would be willing to stay in a cell?"

"Aw." The voice said giggling a little though sounding a little disappointed, "And I was all ready to keep you there until you die."

"Don't sound cheerful." Kristen said, though she still felt uncomfortable being in the dark.

"Wait…" Faith soon said, "...We wouldn't die right away?"

"Yeah, I'd rather die quickly." Rachel added.

Kristen and Eddie looked to the two of them surprised, while Zack on the other hand, looked angry to hear that. He bonked Rachel on the head before he stomped on Faith's foot. "OW!" She exclaimed as she started to hop on one leg, "DUDE!"

"She likes it when you say morbid shit like that!" He told them.

"I WASN'T BEING MORBID, I WAS BEING CURIOUS!" Faith couldn't help but shout as she made an angry pout on her face.

"Don't care." Zack said to her, before pointing to the camera, "You two ignore the bitch."

With that being said, Zack walked ahead again, still holding onto Kristen's hand; the rest followed behind as if they were baby chicks. They eventually reached the end of the hall where they had found a door.

Instead of opening it regularly Zack kicked the door open, before pulling Kristen in front of him so that she was in front; once again this action took her by surprise.

This feeling didn't last long when she realized what had been in the room exactly. There looked to be a stage and a crowd of wooden life sized figures, each of them sitting in a chair; there had been a couple of black cabinets as well as another pathway blocked by iron bars.

What she found strange however was at the stage there looked to be two chairs. The rest of the group entered and looked at everything that surrounded them.

"They're all dolls." Rachel said.

"Looks like another messed up room." Zack added.

Faith shivered as she looked at all the wooden dolls, "I swear, every room in this building is getting more and more creepy." She looked at Eddie, "No offense."

"No, I'm with you." Eddie said, sounding somewhat calm as he looked at the wooden dolls themselves.

Kristen went over to the iron bars, and tried to pull them open. "Damn it, they're locked." She said, They soon noticed that Zack was eyeing the iron bars; none of them could tell what he had been thinking exactly.

Rachel only had an idea.

"Aren't you going to break them?" She asked.

"What?" Zack said, "Those bars are made of iron. It won't work, duh."

Zack saw the looks on their faces change to a look of shock; Guess none of them thought he would have that kind of an answer.

Zack started to get annoyed when none of them didn't even utter a word "WHY THE FUCK DO YOU SOUND SO SURPRISED!?" Zack shouted, "JUST BECAUSE I'M NOT SMART DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T LEARN, OKAY!?"

"Sorry, we're just having trouble processing that you said something smart instead of something idiotic." Kristen said, rubbing her head a little when it felt fuzzy.

Zack's eyebrow twitched at this, "Didn't you all say you would make yourselves useful? Come up with a way for us to move forward!"

"I think we should start looking around the room." Faith suggested, "There could be a key."

"It's not much but it's a start I guess." Eddie said.

"You should look around too." Rachel suggested to Zack, "It'll make things go a lot faster."

"Fine, miss boss lady." Zack said before he went to a certain part of the room.

The five of them started to look through different parts of the room, trying to find a way to get the door open. Kristen did her best to help out, though the headaches she had been getting now and again weren't much help.

Even if she thought so much, she felt the pain come in. She tried her best not to let others know about it, but she could've sworn Zack was growing suspicious at the way she had been acting.

Apparently despite him not being educated, he really was a perspective.

Almost an hour had passed, or what felt like an hour and they had no such luck with finding a clue.

"There's nothing here." Faith said after she looked through one of the cabinets provided.

"Over here too." Eddie added, after he looked under the chair where one of the dolls sat.

"This is really weird." Kristen said, groaning a little, "There's nothing here that can help us open that door."

"You're right." Rachel added, "I can't figure it out either."

"What!?" Zack shouted as he sounded annoyed, "If none of you can't find anything, than why don't we break the dolls here!?"

"Because there's nothing that calls for it, that's why." Kristen told him.

"Really?" He said to her, "Than I suppose nothing "CALLED" for smashing those bars earlier than!?"

Kristen had been about to retort, though she stopped herself when she realized… He was right.

"Touche." She said, making her fingers look like a gun.

"Damn it!" Zack said kicking the wall, "This is REALLY pissing me off! It's this kind of shit that really tires me out!"

"If you're really tired, than why don't you sit down?" Eddie said, gesturing to the chairs filled with wooden dolls.

"What, you just want me to pop a squat on a doll's lap!?" Zack said, "That ain't my style!"

Zack soon looked to the stage, looking at the two empty chairs. Just as he was about to sit, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Kristen had nearly fainted; were it not for Rachel nearby, she probably would've fallen onto the floor.

"Are you okay?" She asked as she helped her to stand.

"Ugh, sorry…" Kristen groaned, "... I haven't been feeling like myself since we got here…"

The two kids and teen looked concerned at this, not realizing the look on Zack's face as he looked in Kristen's direction. "Maybe it's from the shock from earlier." Eddie said, feeling guilty, "Sorry, that's not my fault."

"You don't apologize Eddie." Kristen said with a smile.

"That's no good." Faith said, "Maybe you should sit down for a bit."

"Thanks, but I'd rather not be a burden to you." Kristen told her as she steadied herself when she removed herself from Rachel.

"But you'll make it worse if you push yourself." Rachel said, "Don't worry, we'll be fine with searching for a way out."

"Are you sure?" She asked.

Rachel gave a small smile as she nodded to her. Before Kristen could say anything she felt Zack pull her again.

"C'mere Kris." Zack said taking her to where the stage is, "I found a place for us to sit."

"Wait--"

"Don't argue with me. It'll be a pain in my ass if you end up passing out on us."

Kristen soon found herself at the stage in front of the two chairs. Zack had no problem taking a seat on the chair on the left, as he put his foot on his leg. She didn't know why, but she discovered the structure of the chair to be familiar, even having a certain smell to it. She tried to think of where she had seen it before, but the headache prevented her from thinking.

"Come on Kris." He said, "This chair is pretty comfy."

She tried to think, though it hadn't been long before she shrugged, "When you put it like that…"

She took a seat with the chair on the right, and made herself comfortable. "Huh, you're right." Kristen said, putting her hands on the armrests provided, "It is pretty comfy."

"Right?" He said, "I feel like a goddamn king!"

Rachel, Eddie, and Faith looked to where they sat. It was only than they saw behind the red curtains the stage provided what looked to be a set of generators, and wires going underneath the chair.

"Wait a second!" Faith said as she ran to the front of the stage, "I don't think you guys should sit there!"

Kristen could sense the panic in Faith's voice, as her body tensed up a little, "Why what's wrong?"

"Would you quit nitpicking Fifi?" Zack said, "I'm tired, and she's got a headache!"

"Seriously, you two should get out of there!" Eddie told them.

"Are you sure you guys are okay?" Kristen asked worryingly.

"What's gotten you all worked up?" Zack asked.

"It's just..." Rachel started to say, "... That chair…"

"Yeah, what about it?" He said.

The child soon replied, "I think… It's an electric chair used for executions."

Kristen paused for a moment, "... Pardon?"

Before anyone could make a move, the lights in the room dimmed. A drum roll started to play as spotlights appeared with the devices provided on the ceiling. As soon as it shined on Zack and Kristen, the curtains pulled back. Rachel, Eddie and Faith jumped when they heard them scream followed by the sound of a clang.

"HEY! HEY! HEY!" Kristen shouted, "WHAT THE HELL!?"

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?" They heard Zack yell.

The three of them looked behind the curtains, and had been horrified to see that their arms and legs were restrained, and a headset of some kind had been around the base of their skulls.

"Oh my gosh!" Faith said fearfully.

"DON'T JUST STAND THERE!" Zack shouted, "GET US OUT OF HERE!"

Rachel went to work on Kristen's, and Faith did the same with Zack. They tried to get the retsraintants off of their wrists, but found it to be pointless.

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?" Zack yelled.

"I can't get it off!" Faith told him.

"Same here!" Rachel said.

Eddie held the shovel over his head, "Stand back you two! I've got it!" Faith and Rachel were quick to comply, as they backed up Zack and Kristen.

Just before he could take a swing they heard music started to play; it sounded like it had belonged to a family game show. A compartment opened up from the ceiling and a small television was lowered for everyone to see.

On the screen there looked to be a puppet of a woman with pink hair, with the captions that read, in bright colors, "CATHY'S SHOW"

"Hi~" The woman's voice said.

There on the television, there was revealed to be a woman who had been fairly tall with blonde hair that had been partly dyed pink. She had on a rectangular hat with a short black sleeved blazer and a red tie, along with a mini pencil skirt.

"I'll be joining you through this screen." She said as she bowed. The camera changed it's angle; she looked to the camera, revealing her green eyes and red lipstick. "I am…" She said as she did this, "... The judge on this floor." She gave a wink as she waved, "My name's Cathy! Take a good look, so you won't forget this face!"

Everyone just looked baffled as they heard the sound of clapping coming from the TV. The woman named Cathy soon looked at the two on the chair.

"Oh would you look at that!" Cathy said, "Zack and Krissy are the ones that decided to take a seat!"

"Will you stop calling me that!?" Kristen shouted.

"You stupid bitch!" Zack shouted, "Let us out of here!"

Cathy merely laughed, "What on Earth are you talking about? I'm not going to do that."

"Why the hell not!?" Kristen yelled.

Cathy soon replied, "You should know very well why. What kind of a judge would I be if I didn't punish a criminal?" She soon pointed towards Zack and Kristen with what looked to be a small red whip. "After all…" She said before she gestured to Zack, "... He's a monster--" She pointed towards Kristen soon after, "--And you my dear Krissy… Are a walking curse."

Kristen flinched at the word curse, while Faith, Zack and Eddie were confused by this; Rachel on the other hand had a good idea on what she meant.

"Let's see how much of my punishment you two will be able to endure!" Cathy said, as her face started to turn red. Her body soon shook; her eyes nearly rolling back. "Ah! I'm so excited!" She said, putting her hand over chest, "My heart is pounding!"

The claps came again; Kristen could almost swear she saw a button the red whip.

"Now than… Here we go!" Cathy said.

"Wait!" Kristen said, "What the hell are you going to--!?"

"It's showtime!!" Cathy said, cutting her off.

With a spin, she pressed another button with the heel of her boot; The generators soon came online. It hadn't been long before Zack and Kristen started to scream in agony, as electricity started to course through their body, horrifying Rachel, Faith and Eddie.
