Piggy a Novel: BOOK 2

The Lab (Tigry Saviour Ending)

"I AM STITCHY!!" However, Penny had melted in her shadow form, and simply re-formed right behind Stitchy. She punched, but Stitchy created a hole where she punched, and then reformed, trapping her hand inside. Stitchy whistled, and the other creature rose up, it extended it's arms and grabbed Penny, it pulled her and tried to smash her on the ground, but then Penny grew, she reformed into the gnarly pig. It barred it's saliva dripping fangs, before pouncing at the creature. Stitchy charged up another beam and fired, but Penny held out a knuckle, then there was a faint sizzling noise. The beam died out, and Stitchy glared again. The only problem with this, was the fact that I was long gone.

My heart pounded even more as I sprinted out of that room, he I met two creatures that from the looks of they, could have quite simply killed him. But what was Penny all about, she was a write-off, his heart panged painfully when he realised he'd have to tell Georgie what happened to her. He strode up stairs, completely out of breath, and saw commotion unfolding in a room before him. It was Willow and Tigry. Tigry was on one knee, a nasty bruise on his cheek, and Willow standing up, staring down at him.

"Go on then." Tigry snarled. "Finish me, deep down, I know you don't have the heart to." Willow decided to promptly kicked him in the chest, causing him to collapse.

"Maybe you do." He grunted. Willow noticed me.

"Look at this pathetic man." She spat, kicking him again. "Surely you could never trust him." Just something about watching these two endlessly fight, that made my insides squirm.

"STOP IT!" I yelled at them. Both of them looked at me, surprised, before I continued.

"The cure has to be around here somewhere." I reasoned. "It's probably in this very corridor."

Willow and Tigry glanced at each other. I could tell they both agreed with me, Willow to a lesser extent. The two of them rose to their feet and followed me. And then, he checked every room of the hallway that we could find. But then, a miracle happened. At the end of the corridor briefly flickered, just showing a room where a vial sat on a table. The liquid was bright blue.

"Could it be?" I whispered, darting forward. Willow and Tigry followed close behind me as I slowly made my way up to the door. 

"Well I never." Tigry growled, running forwards. However, all of a sudden, like something out of a dream, my vision faded to black, and when I opened my eyes, the whole scenery had changed. I was no longer inside the lab, instead, I was in some strange, distorted landscape. And to my horror, Willow and Tigry were about fifteen feet ahead of me. They stood in the centre of the landscape, and they were fighting, only, it was way more intense than before. Blood was flying everywhere, bones were breaking, I had to act fast. And I didn't have too much time to act either, as not too far away from me, several, ghostly entities appeared. They were the colours of the rainbow, red, blue, purple, only they were about two feet taller than me, and nearly double my armspan. I rose to my feet. If I was going to stop this, it wasn't going to be with them around. I started running around the landscape, the floor underneath my feet cracking into nothing. It was like a dream. And then, I circled back around until I was right in front of the battle taking place. Both of them were in bad shape.

"Y-you." Willow said shakily, out of breath. Her left leg was clearly broken, as she was kneeling down, and various wounds sported her face. Tigry wasn't much better, he had a black eye, and what looked like slash marks over his torso. And then, I saw something, to the left of me. A baton! Picking it up in my hands, it was heavy, heavy enough to do some serious damage. I looked towards the fight. And then, in that moment, with the entities wailing after me, I made a split decision. I reeled my arm back before throwing the baton through the air. Towards...Tigry. Tigry saw it coming and caught the bat in his hands. He looked towards me, before nodding with a sort of..approval. Willow looked back from Tigry to me, her face tightened in anger. Tigry then rushed forward, waving the baton madly. Willow tried her best to fend off the attacks, but it wasn't enough, the baton made contact with her skull, and a dull thudding sound could be heard. Wherever it hit, it was enough to knock Willow out, as she slumped to the ground, not moving. And then, as quickly as it had appeared, the vision vanished.

Just as the two of them disappeared, a strange figure appeared in the centre of the room. His hand reached out slowly towards the unconscious Willow.

"This has been a long time coming." It said. "Willow..."

"Thanks for that." Tigry said. "I'm not sure what would have happened."

"No problem." Me and Tigry were back in the lab. Whatever the dream was, Willow seemingly hadn't returned from it. But the two of us had more important things to weigh up. In front of us, was the cure. There was no doubt about it. Slowly, Tigry's hand reached forward towards the cure, but then it stopped. He then turned to me.

"You know what?" He said. "You take it."

"Are you sure?" I asked. "What about your friend?" Tigry then looked at me with a sad, sort of distant smile.

"Don't you worry about that." He said. "I ended up making a new friend all along." I was shocked.

"Thanks Tigry..I." Then I stopped. "Should we leave together?" Tigry suddenly tightened the cap on his head.

"That sounds like a good idea." He said. The two of us then made our way back down the same corridor that we'd been through, and eventually, we made it to the entrance of the elevator. Luckily for us, Pony was also there.

"Pony!" I said, surprised to see him. Pony looked sad for some reason.

"Have you seen the others?" I asked. Pony shook his head. And then all of a sudden, the entire building started to seem like it was shaking.

"Oh no." Tigry said. "My charges!" He then turned on his heel, holding the cure, as he ran in the opposite direction. A split second later, a loud explosion occurred. Rubble fell from the ceiling. Tigry looked up just in time to see the rock come crushing down on him. And then, there was silence. Neither me or Pony knew what to do.

"Damn it!" I sighed, kicking a wall. "We're trapped down here." Pony then stopped, before sitting down on the floor, his limbs frail at his sides.

"I was at least hoping to breath some fresh air before I turned." I turned around to look at Pony.

"Before you what?" Pony stopped, before solemnly looking at me.

"You're trapped in here with an infected." Pony said. The words rang out like bullets. I stopped, the only sound in that moment being by knees hitting the floor as I simply collapsed.

"I can't even feel my legs." Pony said. "I'd get out of here if I were you."

"But I can't just leave you here." I said, gritting my teeth and shaking immensely, my voice cracking.

"You don't really have a choice." Pony said, and then a smile crossed his lips. "At least we got really close though right?" I was silent. I simply had no where else to turn. No more ideas to give, and my body had no fight left in it. My spirit was simply broken after all this time. And then, a large, cold hand rested on my shoulder, in a chillingly familiar voice that I recognised.

"It's not too late...." The voice whispered in my ear. I had no choice.

Sheesh, that's an ending and a half isn't it? Anyways, the other three endings on top of the true ending will be out after this. I'm still aiming for a pre-May release date, however, the first draft for the true ending as hit 3000 words already, and I'm barely half-way through. That last ending will be crazy I'll tell you that. Anyways, stick around, I have more chapters on the way.
