When they came back on, one person, who was the actual murderer, and The Radio's voice and background white noise had disappeared. The other five students looked at each other with worried expressions. What was going to happen to them?
The ground started to shake intensely. A few people covered their heads in fear of an earthquake. Thankfully, it wasn't an earthquake. Unthankfully, the five students were in some black room. A door, that was currently unopenable, was either keeping them out of something or something away from them. Jennan wasn't sure which was worse. Cheerful, but muffled 8-bit music played on the other side of the door. Bright, flashy, and neon lights could be seen from the door's crack near the floor. What was awaiting for them?!
The doors swung open. Tall multi-colored structures, more flippy doors, really loud music, and extremely bright lights is what they saw. They all had to squint to see, and they weren't even in that area yet. The floor started shaking again, and this time it tilted upwards to make a slide-like platform. It forced the five to slide into the bright room, the doors closing behind them. As soon as they were in the room, the sound of coins being pushed into a slot was heard over the music. "It's like we're in a pinball machine." Someone said, but it was difficult to hear who it was. Jennan realized that their comparison was correct.
They were in a giant pinball machine.
"RUN!!" She shouted, running in a random direction. Three followed her. The other didn't hear Jennan or see them run because they were having trouble seeing and hearing in the neon and loud room. The flappy doors flung open and a white ball shot out, crushing the person who they had left behind.Some of their squished remains stuck to the ball, the rest of the person stayed on the floor. It a twisted way of looking at it, the person looked like gum left on the floor.
Someone managed to climb on top of a pink pillar and was helping pull another up. Jennan and the other person, who she honestly couldn't see who it was because of the lights, chose to run in a different direction and ended up hiding behind some circular structure. The two on the pink pillars were trying to see where the ball was. They saw it hurtling towards them and they panicked, one froze in place while the other tried to hop onto another pillar. The ball bounced off the pillar and was shot into another direction. The person who tried to jump onto another pillar didn't make it up all the way. They were struggling to pull themselves up. The ball came swinging back full force and rammed into the pillar, which knocked the person off. They landed on their back really hard and didn't move.
Whoever was next to Jennan sprinted out from behind the thing they were hiding behind and wen to go help whoever was on the ground. Jennan wished she could see her friends, but it was simply too bright. Another ball shot out of the flappy doors. "BONUS ROUND" An in-game voice boomed. Jennan panicked and climbed the circular thing she was hiding behind. The new ball started to ricochet off of things like the other ball. Jennan watched in horror as the two students on the ground got crushed between the two balls as they collided. Whoever was on top of the pink pillar freaked out and stumbled backwards, but manged to stay on the pillar.
A third ball shot out of the doors seconds later, headed straight for whatever thing Jennan was standing on. It slammed into it, Jennan fell off the structure and scrambled to her feet. The friend on the pink pillar tried to scream something at her, but Jennan couldn't hear. They had their hand stretched out though, so Jennan assumed they were trying to help her. Jennan sprinted towards the pink pillar and grabbed their hand. Jennan was almost up when one of the balls hurtled towards her. It slammed into the other side of the pillar. The person on the top fell off, which meant Jennan fell off too. They both landed on the floor on top of the other two people that were crushed. Ew. Thankfully, they were distracted from the fact that they were seated on the squished corpses of two of their friends because they watched the other two balls come at them from both directions.
There wasn't anything they could do.
Squuuuuiiiisssshhh....
