Below Zero

Below Zero is a headspace created by Damien that includes most of the members from the Killa Klan Shoguns.  It was designed as a last resort to hide from The Man, after he had came out and published a page of his book, Fecal Fantasies, stating that he no longer cared whether Damien's body was alive or not, he had decided that he "just wanted it".  The creation was similar to it's above ground, on land counterpart, the Desert Bunker.  It was controlled by Damien, Brandon, and Dave.  The main building was mostly made out of metal and reinforced steel, guaranteeing that it wouldn't cripple under itself underwater.  The glass was one of the highest tiers available, and couldn't be broken if even 2 tons of weight smashed into it at 100 miles per hour.

### Storyline

Damien created a new headspace, similar to the one that he created 3 years back, with the design being for the exact same goal, -- keeping The Man out.  He consulted Dave, Brandon, and other members of the KKS in the building stages of the process.  Within hours after time-skipping, the beautiful sea building was fully built, and ready for whatever was to come.  It was completed fully within 3 hours after the initial few plans were discussed.  It was like a dream.

Brandon and Gauge kept watch on the ocean surrounding the safe haven, and all was good for numerous hours.  Inside, Damien and Dave studied The Man and his tendencies together, as well as his family, and their tendencies.  All of their discoveries, new or not, were printed out on paper made out of stone with black, formal ink.  The two made numerous discoveries, and wrote about them themselves.  They eventually created an Ancestry for the family online, for research purposes, but without physical copies of it.  Brandon and Gauge continued keeping watch outside, until they noticed small, fast-moving blue jet skis in the distance.  Brandon immediately panicked, but Gauge tried to calm him down.  His attempts were all fails.

Gauge ran up to the main watch area -- a 14 foot tall cylindrical building on top of the main building, made mostly out of glass and stone.  It had lights and pairs of binoculars, meant for looking out into the ocean and keeping watch for potential threats.  Inside, Dave and Damien continued to be hard at work, doing as much research as their bodies allowed them to.  Back above surface, the motorboats had slowed down, but they were being followed by something.  Brandon finally made his mind up, and got onto one of the jet skis, armed with a nail gun, as well as a projectile spear gun.  He rode out a few hundred yards, to the point where Gauge could barely see him with his naked eye.  Gauge quickly grew worried as he sat still on the water, spear gun in hand.

Eventually, Brandon turned around, the other jet skis following closely behind him.  Gauge picked up his own spear gun, prepared for a potential attempt of an overtaking of the below zero building.  Brandon rode back to the main entrance.  He informed Gauge that he knew the two men accompanying him, and told him to let them in.  Gauge hit the "Gate Down" button, letting the gate down for their entry.  The 3 jet skis made their way inside, before watching the gate close behind them.  They docked, and got off of their jet skis.  The two men followed Brandon back to the main building, outside of the elevator.  They both stared at everything in awe, before asking questions about it.  Brandon laughed, before informing the two of the other people there.  The men came up to the stone building.  Brandon introduced the two to Gauge, relieving him of his preconceived notions.

Below Zero, Dave and Damien stayed hard at work, completely unaware of the new visitors above them.  Brandon let them take the elevator downstairs to go see them.  The two men stepped into the elevator, before going down to where Brandon instructed them to go.  The two greeted Dave and Damien, and were invited to accompany them in their research, the two happily obliged and got to work, seeing as it's cause affected everybody in headspace, not just themselves.

Dashie, MavAttack, Damien, and Dave researched together late into the night, until Gauge and Brandon came to get the team.  They had curated a surprise for them, for their hard work.  The team went to the ground level and celebrated.  Most people drank, but some didn't.  Brandon and Gauge took turns keeping watch until the party was over.  The team decided to lock up for the night, and went back down below zero.  They put the elevator on lockdown, and made sure that all of the underwater hatches were bolted shut before heading off to bed.  They told stories about themselves, etc in the main bedrooms, before they all headed off to their own bedrooms.  Below Zero had 4 bedrooms, along with their own showers and sinks.  The toilets were above surface.

It became increasingly clear that people would have to group together and share rooms.  Gauge got his own room, as did Brandon.  MavAttack and Dashie shared their own bedroom, as did Damien and Dave.  Damien was hesitant at first, but didn't trust anybody else enough to be willing to switch who he would be sharing rooms with.  The two got ready to go to bed, took showers, and then said goodnight.

Damien and Dave did not sleep for long, until their phones began to alert them of suspicious activities around the fences on the surface of the building.  Dave and Damien woke up around the same time, checking their phones before beginning to panic.  They alerted Brandon and Gauge, before leaving Dashie and MavAttack down in their bedroom.  The four rushed to the elevator, which had stopped working sometime in the night due to a power outage.  The building went into lockdown only performed "basic" activities at an attempt to preserve power.  The building had began running on it's backup generators and was low on power.

The four rushed into the pressurized wet room and put on their wetsuits, before swimming out one by one through the pool, which connected to the ocean around them.  Dave and Damien surfaced first, together, as they shined flashlights all around the premises.  They climbed up onto the surface using the dock's ladder.  They helped Gauge and Brandon up, before investigating to see what had happened.   The four split up into 2 groups of 2, at an effort to find out quicker.  Brandon and Gauge found that the concealed generators had been infiltrated, and their gas was draining slowly.  Dave and Damien walked around the fences, only to find a suspicious white motorboat anchored right next to the fence on the left side facing the main building.  The two shined their flashlights on it, only to find nothing.  Alarms went off in their heads as they realized that they didn't have a motorboat, nor did the visitors.  The two rushed back to Brandon and Gauge, only to find them shaking with big eyes.   Dave questioned them as to why their eyes were large, and Brandon pointed to the concealed generators.  There was a pair of bolt cutters on the floor, along with a spear from one of their own spear guns on the floor next to the first generator on the left.  It had obviously been used to infiltrate their generators.

The four of them debated with each other.  Brandon believed that Dashie could've done something, seeing as what the Ass Busters had done to Damien, only to be reminded that the Ass Busters were introjects of Dashie and MavAttack that had been created by The Man.  Dave believed that it was The Man, but Gauge was quick to remind him that nobody, not even C, knew that they were here.  Dave agreed, and then urged Damien to come with him to talk in private, but he was hesitant.  After a while of convincing, he obliged.  Dave shared the idea that Dashie and MavAttack could be the introjects, or be The Man and his son in disguise.  Damien's eyes grew large as he believed every word of it.  They both went back to the original group, and informed them of their new beliefs.  Brandon was quick to intervene, reminding the other 3 members that they had been there the entire time, -- Dashie and MavAttack were in their sight the whole time, they couldn't have done anything.

Damien and Dave agreed, but still kept the idea in the back of their minds.  The 4 decided to go back inside, as the pool room was still open and unlocked.  Dave and Damien dove into the water first, but were followed closely by Brandon and Gauge.  They entered back into Below Zero through the pool room, and were glad to see that the security cameras had recorded the pool room the entire room -- nobody had came in while they were gone.  They entered the hall, on their way back to the main bedrooms.  They approached Dashie and MavAttack's bedroom, only to find that they were not there.  The four panicked, before they heard the sound of two pairs of footsteps approaching them.  Dave poked his head around the corner, only to see MavAttack and Dashie carrying trays of food from the kitchen in the middle of the Below Zero floor.  The two turned the corner, only to be greeted by the sight of 4 men standing outside of their bedroom.  Dashie was quick to question what was going on, before letting the four into he and MavAttack's bedroom.  They all entered, and Dave informed them of what had happened.  Dashie's eyes grew large.  The sound of what seemed to be a crash was heard by the whole team.

Dave and Damien left the room, accompanied by Gauge, the main 2 being equipped with the emergency axes from the various bedrooms, leaving Dashie and MavAttack one, along with another one for Brandon.  The 3 quickly found that there had been a spear gun shot into the glass of the pool room.  Dave and Damien almost immediately realized what this meant, and couldn't turn around quick enough.  Dave pushed Gauge, the glass breaking behind the two in the back, as Gauge ran as fast as he could ahead of them.  Gauge alerted Dashie and MavAttack.  They grabbed their bags as Damien and Dave continued running, the water already catching up to them.  The two tried to enter the Zero level, which was the level just below surface, but were immediately met with the same elevator issue.  They had to go further down, to the negative level.  They had to go down before they could come up, leaving Dashie, MavAttack, Brandon, and Gauge behind.  The water followed closely behind as they went further down.  They headed for the emergency ladders, which were all the way below the pool room, in the room below the one right next to it.  They took the stairs, before hearing swiftly approaching footsteps right behind them.  They met up with the rest of the team in the negative level.  They all headed for the emergency ladders, and got there fairly quickly.  Gauge, Brandon, Dashie, and MavAttack all went up first, while Dave and Damien heard the footsteps again.  Dave hurried up a little way, before unscrewing the portion of ladder under him, instructing Damien to do the same.   Damien hurried up to the point that Dave was up, and unscrewed the portion of ladder under him.  However, the ladder immediately started to fall down below him, as the portion above him started to come loose.  Dave's eyes grew large as The Man started up the ladder.  Damien cried, unable to go up, and unable to come down.  Dave inhaled sharply, looking down for a moment before holding his arm out, fully willing to possibly sacrifice himself by stepping off of the ladder.  He and Damien started up the ladder together, Damien going up faster than Dave.  The ladder began to creak and come off of the wall, forcing Dave to act off of instinct and grab onto the wall next to him, before stepping onto the very thin wall trimming, the ladder crippled on itself as Dave watched, full aware that if he acted a second too late, he would've fell, broken his legs, and drowned.  He shoved himself into the hole in the wall where the light was.

The group quickly noticed the noise, and looked down.  Damien panicked immediately and began to tear up, Brandon called out for the missing man, only to get an almost immediate response.  "I'm going to die." Dave responded, the fear in his voice taking over.  They quickly formulated a plan, which included tying the clothes from all of their bags together, forming a rope just long enough to rescue Dave.  The water continued to rise at a swift pace, leaving The Man almost submerged in water, holding onto the ladder above himself.  They created the rope, and swung it to where Dave was hiding.  Damien held onto it in the front, Brandon held onto Damien, Dashie held onto Brandon, and MavAttack held onto Dashie.  They barely pulled him up, but it was a success.  Damien watched as Dave slowly climbed up, pulling himself up onto the floor.  He quickly stood up, and sighed.  Damien walked forward and hugged him, tears in his eyes.  The other group members had to remind them that the water was continuing to rise, and The Man was going to be able to get onto the other ladder soon.  They rushed to the emergency generator powered elevators, and took them up to the surface.  The rest of the group barricaded the elevator from the outside as Damien and Dave formulated a plan.  The plan included wiring a pressure activated explosion, leading to the debris hitting the self destruct button.  They took the leftover fireworks, and instructed Brandon and Gauge to set them off, and then jump into the boat with Damien, Dave, Dashie, and MavAttack as they pulled up.

The plan went into motion as Dave grabbed the emergency boat, letting everybody on board.  Damien sat up front with Dave as Gauge tried to lower the gate.  There was one major flaw with the beautiful building, and it was that the gate wasn't considered a "basic" need in the event that the power went out and the whole building was left to be powered by a few emergency backup generators.  Brandon lit it, before running towards the boat.  The self destruct button had a window of 30 seconds before detonation, so as the fireworks brought the debris, they drove through a piece of fencing that it tore down.  With only a few moments to spare, they drove off as the building's self destruct mechanics began to work, detonating as the whole entire building began to explode.
