Whumptober 2024 - No. 12 UNDERGROUND CAVERNS

Hawaii Five-0 10x02 Tani and Junior must plot an escape for themselves and several civilians after they become trapped inside a deadly tunnel collapse

I Drew this from memory and at 2am so I don’t think it is the most accurate or recognizable but it is pretty

It is supposed to be the Underground Cavern in the Hidden Forest

Friendly Fire| Underground Cavern| Several Whumpees - Steve Harrington, Robin Buckley, and Jonathan Byers Title from Shot from the Heart by Bon Jovi Word Count: 0.65k

“This is creepy as shit.” Robin muttered, and Steve glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. 

“You should have seen it a few years ago. Covered in vines with spores everywhere.” They were in the tunnels under Hawkins that The Upside Down seemed to be so fond of. The last time Steve was here was with the younger kids, trying to help Will.

He still barely knew what the fuck they were trying to do this time around. The details were mainly between, well, everyone else. People rarely took the time to explain things in layman's terms and instead assumed everyone understood the science jargon (which they didn’t).

“I’m suddenly glad I didn’t know you guys sooner.” She squinted, pointing her flashlight further down the tunnel “What are we looking for again?”

“Glowy red… stuff. I guess.” Jonathan shrugged, causing both of them to jump.

“Forgot you were there.” Steve rubbed his eyes, earning a frown from him.

The three of them continued walking through the damp tunnels, and he tried to keep track of the bends that they took, but it all felt the same to him, so his effort was ill-spent on it.

“I officially hate it down here.” Robin crinkled her nose. “Both enclosed spaces and risk of creepy-as-shit Upside Down monsters? No thank youuu.”

“At least nothing with rabies, huh?” 

“Shut up, dingus.”

“Will you both shut up?” Jonathan intterupted them. “I think I hear something.”

All of them fell silent, and sure enough, there was the loud, muffled steps of something.

Robin’s face became panicked as all of them shut off their flashlights. Steve pulled the spiked bat out of his backpack and handed it to Jonathan, before pulling out his axe.

The three of them slowly inched forward through the tunnels, hearing the footsteps on damp ground slowly become louder and louder. It was unsettling, sounding like it had several legs attached to it.

Definately not a normal demogorgon…

What is that thing?

Steve spared a glance at Robin and Jonathan, hwo had their eyes trained at the curve of the tunnel, obscuring their vision as to whatever the fuck was ahead of them.

Then they saw flashlights, and he could hear all of them breathe out in relief.

And then they heard gunshots, causing all of them to reflexively duck.

It wasn’t fast enough.

Steve felt himself get knocked back painfully, a bullet peircing his shoulder and causing him to loose balance and hit the damp ground hard.

His ears rang loudly, and the agonizing pain in his shoulder hit him like a train.

“OH FUCK-” He just barely heard the shout over the ringing as it slowly died down, and felt the thud of running footsteps against the ground. 

Steve groaned, rolling over onto his side. He saw Robin and Jonathan, who seemed to be in a similar state. Jonathan was leaning against the wall of the tunnel, an hand pressing against his side, and Robin was on the floor, both of her hands pressing against her shin. He could see the slick blood slipping between her fingers and coating her hands.

He could also feel the blood spilling out from his shoulder, seeping into the saturated ground of the tunnel.

Squinting, he saw Nancy, Hopper, and Murray.

“I think you missed.” He groaned. “It went that way.” His uninjured arm pointed in a random direction lazily.

Robin laughed shakily, looking at the ceiling of the tunnel.

“Now isn’t the time for joking.” Hopper said gruffly, pulling Steve up by his uninjured arm. “We need to get you three back.”

“No shit.” Jonathan grumbled, keeping his hand pressed against his side.

Nancy helped Robin get up, pulling an arm over her shoulder.

I left my struggle in because... Well it's important to note this is easier as a chibi. If you're tall like me it can sometimes take a moment to skip into this one. Especially if you keep tapping your Sky Kid and honking instead of jumping :')

You might want to avoid the 'pillars' of dark green - some are very very deep holes you can get stuck in lol.

🐟 Bonus fish:

Magma is refreshing

(please don’t walk through magma, it won’t end well)

May have gotten bored and decided to draw Jacob, bond to Groudon (the legendarily angry fiery boi), taking a casual walk through magma. More about him to come in the future. 

(the markings on his arms and legs stop him from being affected by the magma around him, because being bonded to the God of the ground who has been known to take naps/hibernate in magma just like that makes you lava-resistant)
