Awful gore warning btw-

"WHAT?!" D.C screamed, the two hazmat men hauled him further into the room. "We are wiping your memory. That's all." David said bluntly. This thing knew way too much for their own good, and he needed Katie felt god awful. She knew David was right for doing this, it just didn't feel right. But she knew if they got out of control it could mean the end of the country. Or worse... 

D.C was in a panic. All his plains and basic human knowledge will just go in a matter of seconds?! That's the final straw for him. He never had the idea of taking over. He really just wanted to leave but if it has to be this way, so be it. D.C changed himself into a fly. "WHERE DID HE GO?!" A man shouts. D.C changed again to a mouse. Climbing into one of the panicked man's suits. "HE'S IN MY SUIT!!! IT'S A RAT!!!" The man started shaking and running around trying to get him out.

Mouse D.C laughed as he grabbed the remote controlling all the shock collars in the lab. With one tap of a button, it fell off every single experiment. "GET IT OUT JERRY HELP!!!" D.C rolled his eyes and crawled out of his suit and ran away. "oh. It's gone." 

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S GONE?!" Katie shrieked. 

"I don't feel any-" 

"GO FIND HIM!!" 

"Right Yes ma'am." The men scurry off to find him. David sighed, turning to another scientist. "Sound the Alarm. We got an escapist." 

+Time skip+

California was confused as hell. Mostly because that weird painful thing around his neck was gone and his room was flashing red and white. It hurt his eyes... "Wall? Are you there? What's going on...? I'm scared." No response. Cali sighed, the wall hadn't talked to him in hours. Normally it's a tad bit more talkative. Suddenly his door shot open. "What the..." California got up and took a small peek outside the room. Some woman screamed and was launched across the hallway. Then what looked like an ax sliced her head straight off, blood spattering everywhere.  "What the..." 

"OH HI CALI!!" Alaska waved at him. "Alaska? What's going on here?" He asked walking up to the other male. "I-Is that..." 

"Blood. Yes. And I don't know... I just thought revenge ya know." Alaska shrugged. "Is anyone else free?" Alaska shrugged. "Do... Do You think D.C had something to do with this?" Alaska shrugged again, being a man of few words did pay off sometimes. Not like socializing was his cup of tea. He didn't even like tea... "He was talking a lot of crazy stuff the first time I meet him... What even is grass?" The golden state mumbled. "Is it like earth's hair?" Alaska asks. "No. It's a plant that grows from the ground outside the lab. And takes quite a bit to grow and humans get aggravated when it grows too much." Another voice said. Cali jumped, Alaska just glared at this stranger. "Nice to meet you two, I'm Indiana." 

+Time skip again+ 

D.C read what he could, then again he barely knew much about reading. Other than it was hard. But at least he was doing good. Right? Yeah... They deserved this. The capital looked down at more states, capitals, countries, anyone really that he could set free. "Let's see... Russia. Florida. Tokyo. Armenia. Ukraine. Wait- Florida!!" He slammed his hand on the flagged button. "Ya know what. Fuck this." D.C started pressing as many flagged buttons as his slow hands could. "Need a hand?" 

D.C grabbed a knife quickly aiming it directly at this stranger's neck. "WHO ARE- oh... Why do you look like me?" The woman looked back at D.C. "I-I don't know. Just put that knife down, me and my friends here wanna help." D.C slowly lowered his knife as two other men entered the room. "Oh pardon me! I never introduced any of us, I'm I.D.C. Then there's Gov and the District of Columbia." Gov did a small bow and District waved. "Well, what are we even waiting for? We got buttons to press!!" D.C smiled, maybe this could be his... What's the word again... Family? Yeah, pretty sure it's family.

Pretty soon all the doors in the lab were opened. And David's promise didn't true anymore. Well of course it isn't. Florida laughed casually chomping off an arm of some not-so-poor soul, with a scream in pain almost like music to the Floridian's ears. Consuming it with a simple chomp. Who knew humans tasted so damn good? (Damn-)

Louie laughed at his new friend. Only meet about 5 seconds ago and boom. BFF's. "Save me some. I wanna try that moving thing. I think It's called a heart right?" Florida nodded handing him the bleeding thing. "Ohh~! It really does move. Neat. Tell me how it tastes I wanna try this pink wrinkly thing I found." 

"Hello? Florida?! Louie?! WHAT THE FUCK!?!" Louie turned around and saw Georgia. "HI, GEO!!! Wanna try some?" Georgia gaged and shook his head no. "The hell is going on...? AND STOP EATING THAT PERSON!!" Louie stuck the whole heart in his mouth. "Louisiana. Spit. That. Out." The smaller man whined and spat it out onto the floor. "Come on you two we gotta figure out what's happening. AND LOUIE GET THAT HEART OUT OF YOUR MOUTH FOR THE LAST AND FINAL TIME-" 

+Time skip+ 

Alaska, Cali, and Indiana walked through the bloody halls. "This is awful..." Cali mumbled, "Just awful..." Alaska shakes his head. "They did have it coming, I mean I can't recall the number of times they zapped me with that ridiculous collar," Indiana says causally kicking away what looked like someone's leg. "FLORIDA NO!!" 

"Is that... Georgia?" Cali asks, the group quickly rounds the corner and sees Geo trying to stop Florida from eating something. "PUT THE BRAIN DOWN FLORIDA!!" California giggled. He missed all his friends. Or at least he hoped they thought they were all his friends. The three of them ran to Florida and grabbed him pulling him off another dead hazmat guy. "SPIT IT OUT!!" Geo yells shaking the poor state.

*Gulp*

"He just ate... A HUMAN BRAIN!" Indiana shrieks. Florida's normal chaotic grin forms. "Yeah, it was tasty!!" Alaska slaps him. "Wait. LOUIE!?" The five of them turned to see Louisiana... With two whole hearts in his mouth. 

*Slurp* 

"Something wrong sha?" 

"N-No.." Cali mumbled. Louie smiled and pointed at Cali. "I like this one. He's innocent." Then went up and hugged him. Alaska rolled his eyes, they really didn't have time for this. "We gotta go," Alaska said. "Alaska has a point, guys. And... uh. I'm kinda scared. Louie won't let go of me." California said trying to pry the man off him. Florida got up and looked at him laughing. "Don't worry about it, he does that to everyone he meets and likes. And I don't think Louie's met you before." Geo says. 

"Nice to meet you, Louie!" California pats his back. Louie just mumbles something and squeezes him tighter. The six states all continued down the halls, witnessing more and more murder and other chaos. While Geo and Cali were mildly uncomfortable, the other four seemed to be enjoying this more than they should. Florida occasionally picking up limbs, trying to eat them, before Indiana slaps them out of his hands. "No eating humans Florida." The ink demon scolds. 

"But Louie is doing it!!" Florida whined. Indiana turned to see Louie sucking on what looked to be... an arm. Alaska took the arm away from him and threw it down the hall. Then Geo stopped in front of a hallway. Staring at a big sign. 

"What's that?" Cali asks, stopping beside him. "Cities," Alaska mumbled, something was calling him to go down that hall. He didn't know what tho. So, despite multiple red flags, he walked ahead of everyone else. "ALASKA WAIT!!" Indiana yelled rushing after the taller state. Soon the rest followed. They examined what looked like a ton of tubes. Filled with just... Ink? "What is all this shit?" Florida says, walking up to one. 

'Experiment 687... Miami.'

Florida placed his hand on the glass. "Maybe you shouldn't touch that Florida we don't exactly know what's in it," Geo warned. Florida being himself didn't listen to the fatherly state. Till another smaller hand popped up touching his, orange and green fingertips?!

"AAAAAAAAAA-" Florida continued to scream and hug Louisiana for dear life. Eventually, a face showed up that looked almost exactly like Florida. Curiosity killed the cow, so of course, Alaska walked up to the tank, waving at the person. It waved back. "What's this button do?" California asks, clearly in motion of pressing it. "NO DON't-"

*Click*

Suddenly all the tanks' ink emptied and the glass was lowering. Revealing more and more experiments. Another one slowly opened its eyes. "H-Hello... Thank you for letting us go." He mumbled, sounding so weak and winded. "What did they do to you?" Indiana mumbles slowly cupping the boy's cheeks. "I-I... C-an't remember..." He says. "Do you happen to remember your name?" 

"I'm Austin." Indiana smiled, ruffling the boy's hair. 

"Pleasure to meet you Austin, I'm Indiana."
