After convincing Lincoln to come with them, the group was still weary of his intentions. Mainly cause he was trapped in this place along with how many others. It was clear that he has last his mind, but could they really blame him for his mental instability. After a couple of minutes, Ruby tried to get some answers.

"So...Do you know who else is trapped in here besides our friend, Jaune?" Ruby asked him. The others looked at her while Lincoln stopped walking and turned to face her with a cold look in his blue eyes.

"Jaune? Oh, you mean Goldie. My bestest friend, he was such a great roommate until they separated us." Lincoln said with a small smile. It was clear that Jaune was one of the people who he saw as a friend. However, Ruby tried to get more answers on what happened to her best friend.

"Separated you?" Ruby asked.

"They wanted to make enhanced soldiers and kidnapped many test subjects. Which includes Goldie and many others. Oh, how I could hear their screams all through the night." Lincoln said. His answer made all of their blood run cold. This lab was trying to make super soldiers by using unwilling subjects.

Where nightmares go to wait

If you hesitate, I won't blame you

"What did they do to you?" Weiss asked.

"Hm...you seem familiar. Are you related to the white witch?" Lincoln asked.

"White witch?" Weiss asked. Weiss had a feeling like he was talking either her sister or her mother. However, she didn't want to believe that one of her family members was involved in doing such immoral things to people. 

No

Monsters in the dark will show you no restraint 

You gotta concentrate to preserve your soul

Will your time run out?

"The woman who followed that general around. Never bothering to help us and watched as almost all of us wasted away. I always wanted to kill her for never bothering to try and ease our suffering." Lincoln said.

"You don't mean..." Weiss said before showing a picture of her sister. She was shaking and was on the verge of tears. Her sister couldn't have been involved. She would never...however Lincoln's next words completely shattered her hope that her sister wasn't involved.

"That's her! The white witch. I hate her. She abandoned us. She tortured us. She left us all to die." Lincoln said as his eyes quickly switched from blue to yellow in every sentence.

There's a face that hides 

"No. No. NO! My sister couldn't have been involved in this. She is strict, but she cared for me so why would she..." Weiss started to say before breaking down. Neptune patted her back as the revolution sunk into her. 

Coming for your life 

You won't last 

Closer we're alive 

The others felt their blood boiling for learning that Atlas was involved in the creation of this hell. A hell that cause multiple people to die and just mentally and physically abused.

"The white witch is still out there. I wish to tear her apart." Lincoln said with his eyes turning to yellow. At this time, Sun tried to turn him back into his passive form.

It's time to survive another five nights

Welcome back 

Welcome back 

Back again so soon?

"Lincoln...Did you have other friends other than Goldie?" Sun asked. Lincoln froze before speaking once again.

"Yes. I have lots of friends. In fact, we're going to see two of them up ahead." Lincoln said. 

We've all been preparing for you 

Another fright

Another scream 

Another broken, rotting dream

"T...Two of them?" Yang asked.

"Yes. They are close friends and often try to get close to Goldie. He didn't really understand what they were doing however..." Lincoln said.

"Close to Goldie? Like they were in love with him?" Pyrrha asked with her right eye twitching.

Welcome back 

Hold your breath and close your doors 

It starts again 

It starts again 

"Hm. Lots of the female subjects liked him to insane levels. However, one of my friends doesn't really like him like that." Lincoln said.

"What kind of insane levels and why him?" Neptune asked.

Can you reach the end

Can you reach the end

With your mind unscathed?

"They're willing to literally kill for him. However, I never understood why they fell for Goldie. Doesn't really matter though since he is in the center of this entire thing." Lincoln said.

Lurking in the shadows

Secrets of the past

"The center?" Ren asked while Nora was trying to calm down Pyrrha. Keyword being trying since Pyrrha was angry that she has more competition for the love of her partner. Meanwhile, the group keep looking around the hallway which was lacking some doors.

They could see multiple windows thought that showed the inside of some of the abandoned labs. The labs were dark, but they should see damaged equipment and dried blood on the walls.

At our masquerade 

Follow me to the horror show 

You're the attraction, we're watching 

"This place gives me the creeps. Experiments and all." Yang said.

"I hate to agree, but she's right. There are so many unknown factors here that will make our journey to find Jaune..a little difficult." Blake said.

"More difficult than calming Pyrrha who is still upset over more rivals for Jaune." Nora said. The others stared at Pyrrha who looked crazier than before. 

"Yes." Blake said before Lincoln continued to speak.

It's me who is in control

"The center of the lab is the most heavily guarded. However if you wish to save Goldie then you must get more people to help you. Some of them won't join you as easily as I did, but maybe I can help convince them." Lincoln said. 

"Great." Nora said with an unamused tone.

Coming for your life

Welcome back 

Will you live to see the light?

It's another five long nights 

Can you outrun your demise?

It's another five long nights 

"Weiss, you good?" Ruby asked. Weiss was staying silent since the revolution that her sister knew about this place, but never told her. Nor did she attempt to help anyone which made her feel completely conflicted.

"To be honest, no. However, we have to try and save the survivors and rescue Jaune." Weiss said. Her team looked at her with some sadness, but didn't say anything. Meanwhile, Ironwood and Ozpin were in the middle of a heated arguement. 

Innocence slowly unwinds 

It's another five long nights

Will your final hour chime?

It's another five 

Long  

Nights

"James, I have tolerated every single one of your actions, but this is so inhumane. You kidnapped people and even one of my students to gain an army of super soldiers. Not to mention, you watched how each of them suffered and did nothing." Ozpin yelled.

"But it was for...." Ironwood started to say before Ozpin cut him off.

"I want to kill Salem too, but I wouldn't do so at the cost of the lives of the innocent. So many people have died already yet you decided to do something like this." Ozpin said.

"General Ironwood is just trying to help. So maybe..." Winter tried to defend her general, but Ozpin's anger turned towards her.

"Do you know that your sister is in that lab right now? She will learn just how much of a heartless monster you truly are and be disgusted by you." Ozpin said. Winter didn't say anything, but looked down in shame. However, Ozpin was far too disgusted to pity her.

You won't last 

Closer we're alive

Welcome back

Back again so soon 

We've all been preparing for you 

Another jump

Another scare

Spend the night with us 

If you dare

Welcome back 

Unaware that the horrors of that lab would change the teams for better or worse. Meanwhile, two girls were on the floor waiting for the new visitors that were coming to their cell. Let's see how they can convince them to come.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter...Bye 👋
