As if things weren't creepy enough already, people showed up bearing the Nazi like symbol. They killed the mutants, sure, but they didn't look particularly friendly.
Marlon: "N…azis…"
Dante: "You've got to be kidding me… how?"
A man called Heinrich shouted — he was the leader of this little group.
Heinrich: "I see… Take them to our Reich… and that one there… the blonde… Keep a close eye on her… She's blonde… green eyes though… but still… Aryan enough… Bring her with care. Franklin — no violence… for now."
Franklin: "Alright… Get up… Come on… You too, you Asians."
They stood up and raised their hands. Heinrich slowly walked over to Liza.
Heinrich: "What beautiful hair and eyes you have, my lady… What's your name?"
Liza: "…Liza… Liza Brodley."
Heinrich: "Such a shame you're American… but that's not so bad… You've got green eyes… not blue… It's kind of an insult to the Aryan people, but hey… you still look the way we Nazis like it… Blonde… and white… Your eyes just aren't perfect, but that'll do."
He slowly walked over to Kenn and Mia.
Heinrich: "Because of you lot, all this happened. We lost the Second World War… we should never have trusted you, Japanese."
Mia: "Ugh… how… do you know we're Japanese?"
Heinrich: "You look like it… But your eyes are bigger than the Chinese… and the other Asians… Anyway…"
He slowly stepped over to the wounded Zoe.
Heinrich: "…You look like crap… took quite a beating, huh…"
Zoe: "Hahh…"
Heinrich: "…very strange… I thought you people always say… you're better than the Nazis. Well… you didn't say thank you for saving you… so… say it now… immediately!"
He shouted.
Zoe: "…Screw… you… asshole…"
Heinrich: "Hehehehehe… You're a tough one… I like you… Hey… I'll spare you… you're not blonde… but you're pretty… What's your name…"
Zoe: "Hmm… Zoe…"
Heinrich: "…Zoe… okay…"
He looked at Dante, standing next to Marlon and Henry.
Heinrich: "My my… you're strong… You can work for us… Franklin… what do you think?"
Franklin: "That one there looks strong."
Heinrich: "Hmm."
He looked at Henry.
Franklin: "Hmm."
Heinrich: "What's your name…"
Henry: "Henry… Henry Thompson."
Heinrich: "You're not American, are you…"
Henry: "Half… English… half American… my family's from… England originally."
Heinrich: "Aha…"
Dante: "Hmm."
Heinrich: "And you?"
Dante: "My name is Dante… Dante Ainsworth… I'm from England too."
Heinrich: "And you over there."
Marlon: "…Marlon."
Heinrich: "Good… tie them up… and be gentle with Liza… and Zoe… Don't be too rough. We don't have many women in our group."
They tied them up and took them away.
Dante: "Where are you taking us?"
Heinrich: "Isn't it obvious? …To… Arizona, hahaha… Now get in."
They got inside, and it drove off.
Marlon: "Hahh… damn it… damn it I was right… It really was the Nazis…"
Dante: "Hahh…"
Zoe: "Ghh."
Liza: "Zoe is hurt…"
Mia: "Hahh… what will they do to us?"
Kenn: "It's okay… calm down."
(A few hours later)
(Dong) (Dong)
Heinrich: "Open the door."
The door opened.
Heinrich: "Alright… get out."
They did.
Dante: "Oh… shit…"
It was a huge camp… power… lights… everything was there.
Dante: "How?"
Marlon: "Hahh…"
Liza: "…ugh…"
Heinrich: "Alright… you… move now… oh dear… wait a second… What's wrong, sweetheart?"
He looked at Liza, whose head was bleeding.
Heinrich: "Oh… a wound… not from earlier… you must have been hurt before… We should take you and the other one to the infirmary… hehe… look how nice we are."
They took them there.
Heinrich: "And take the rest to the cells… Let's see what Ms. Nightmare does with them."
(A few minutes later)
Liza and Zoe returned to the others — their wounds had been treated.
Mia: "There you are."
Kenn: "Are you okay?"
Liza: "Mhm."
Zoe: "Damn it, just what we needed…"
Dante: "Hahh…"
Franklin: "Sit down… Our boss wants to talk to you…"
(Dong) (Dong!)
They opened the door — she entered slowly.
(patch) (Patch) (Patch)
The other soldiers immediately did the Nazi salute.
Heinrich: "Ms. Nightmare… we found these people."
She had white hair, looked young.
Ms. Nightmare: "Hmm… I welcome you… My name is Sophie, Sophie Steinhausen… I see… you're exhausted… that's okay… But from now on, you belong to us… which means… you're our workers… you'll work for us… if you slack off… you're dead… hmm…"
She looked at Liza.
Ms. Nightmare: "Hmm… Why so scared?"
Liza: "Hahh…"
Ms. Nightmare: "My dear… I wouldn't hurt you… do I look like a monster to you?"
She held Liza's chin.
Liza: "Ghh…"
Ms. Nightmare: "…what's wrong… hahh?"
Heinrich: "Ms. Nightmare, it's like this…"
He whispered in her ear.
Ms. Nightmare: "Ahh… I see… wounds on her body… let me guess… domestic violence… right?"
Liza: "Hmm."
Ms. Nightmare: "Who was it… a criminal? …someone from the street… a pedo… a kidnapper…"
Liza: "…uh…"
Ms. Nightmare: "Bring her to me… I want to talk to her alone."
He grabbed Liza roughly and dragged her along.
Liza: "Aarghh… let me go… I didn't do anything… please…"
Zoe: "Damn it…"
Mia: "Hahhh…"
Kenn: "Hahhh…"
Dante: "Fuck!"
They dragged Liza into a room and shoved her down.
(Crash)
Liza: "Ghhh…"
Ms. Nightmare: "When I ask something… you better answer…"
Liza: "Hahhh… hahhh…"
Ms. Nightmare: "Answer me… who did it?"
Liza: "My… my parents!"
Ms. Nightmare: "Hmm."
Heinrich: "Oh…"
Ms. Nightmare knelt down.
Ms. Nightmare: "Your parents… so…"
She stroked Liza's trembling hair.
Ms. Nightmare: "…I'm so sorry… my dear… No wonder you're scared… the people… the people who were supposed to protect you… did this… what a horrible thing…"
Liza: "Hahh… please… don't… hurt me…"
Ms. Nightmare: "Sweetheart, I'm not hurting you… I'm just stroking your beautiful hair…"
She held her forehead and kissed it.
Ms. Nightmare: "Hehe… see… I'm not that evil… how about I show you something… you've never seen such a big camp, right… Do you know what we have here? We have everything people wish for in these times — water, warmth, fans — whatever you wish for… we have it all
Liza: "Hahhh."
Ms. Nightmare: "Want to know how?… Come on, then — follow me!"
She helped her up. Liza followed her into a huge room… There were large red containers connected to parts of the facility.
Ms. Nightmare: "We… get power… and electricity not only through generators… we get energy in a different way… a much cheaper and wilder way… We did it… We have energy and power… by… using the blood… of people!"
Liza: "Ugh!"
She looked at the containers — they were all red.
Ms. Nightmare: "Ta-da! Isn't it super cool… who would think of that… hahaha… but hey, we use animals too…"
Liza: "Why… why do you do this…"
Ms. Nightmare: "Because I… want to survive… … ! Blood everywhere like a horror movie… hehehe…"
Liza: "Hahhh…"
Ms. Nightmare: "Hey… we have to have fun too… otherwise it'd be boring…"
Liza: "Hahh… why are you telling me all this…"
Ms. Nightmare: "Well… the rest will find out too — you'll tell them… Actually, I didn't want to show you all this… but I changed my mind… you have blonde hair and beautiful eyes… that pleases me — you look just like we Nazis like it… Just too bad your eyes are green, but hey… that's fine."
A door opened — but not the usual way — it opened above the containers.
Liza: "What…"
She saw Franklin… and… the corpse… of Mia.
Liza: "Ugh… hahh… Mia…"
Ms. Nightmare: " What was Wrong With her? Good… drain her blood and toss the body away."
Heinrich: " She hat an Illnes just like the notes i sendet to the doktor
Ms. Nightmare: "Ok ...then. Sorry...Dear....if she is sick. ..then....its how it end you know.
Liza: "Hahhh… hahhh… hahhh…"
Liza could barely breathe from fear.
Ms. Nightmare: "Oh oh… oh dear… not good… get her out of here, gently take her back."
They brought Liza back.
Heinrich: "Here… There you are again."
The door shut again.
Dante: "Liza…"
Kenn: "Hahh… oh… are you okay… do you know what they did to Mia…"
Liza: "Hahh… I… I saw her."
Kenn: "Really?"
Liza: "She's… she's dead… she… she's dead I only saw her body…"
Kenn: "What… what… no… that… that can't be true…"
Dante: "Hey… hey… Kenn…"
Zoe: "Pull it together… crying won't help."
Kenn: "Leave me alone… I'll kill them… Why my sister…"
Liza: "But… what happened… why was she there…"
Dante: "Hahh… when you left… someone came… they said 'energy source' and took Mia away… but what did they mean…"
Liza: "Hahh… I saw it… how… how they make power…"
Dante: "What…"
Liza: "They… use… human blood!"
