Joshua and his team were tired. They had been scouting this new Pyramid for days. Nothing new had been found, and they
wanted to go home, and soon. He looked at his team, and chuckled to himself. They were all armed to the teeth, with shotguns,
SMG's, even old 357's. Joshua himself carried a M9 Beretta. He sighed....two days left until they could come back. He groaned.
"Okay team, let's rest here." He said. Everyone sighed in relief. They dropped all their bags, but kept the guns at ready.
"I need a scout team ASAP. Volunteer only to come with me" Joshua said. He needed to see what was ahead, so his team
could be safer. Almost everyone but 2 people groaned. Those two stood up.
"John, Richard? Are you two sure?" Joshua asked. They nodded. "Okay, grab your guns, and lets move." With that, they
each grabbed a Benelli M1014, and ran after Joshua. Joshua picked up a Franchi SPAS-12 Automatic Shotgun, and an assload
of shells. With that, they took off, to an unknown area of the Pyramid.
....
Mobius City, a massive Metroplex area that actually is 3 cities under one name. Sonic raced through each one on a daily
basis, to keep himself fit. Right now, though, he was at home, watching some TV, more specifically, the TV Special on the new
Pyramid found. Granted, it was a few days old, because news had to travel, but it was pretty accurate. From what Sonic could tell,
it was just like any other Pyramid. He got up and yawned.
"Time for my daily run!" he said. With that, he ran off towards the center of the city, hoping to beat his record time.
....
Tails was so pleased with himself. He finally allowed himself the pleasure of drinking after working for 2 days straight on new
gun designs. With it, he would go directly to the G.U.N. Commander, and propose it as the new weapons to be used.
There was the M18A6 Assault Rifle. It fired 6.69x70mm rounds, and had an impressive clip size of 100 rounds. In full automatic mode,
it could clear an entire clip, with amazing accuracy at 10 rounds a second!
Next to it was a M60 Sniper Rifle, with a scope so powerful, you could see over 3 miles away to extreme precision. Not only that, the gun
could also fire up to 4.2 miles to almost perfect accuracy, at an amazing speed that shatters the sound barrier, but your enemy won't be alive to
hear the barrier break, because the impact is almost instant from up to 1 mile. After that, there is a second added on to each mile. The round fired is
a 120mm round, that can pound through even the toughest of tank armour. Nothing can stop it.
The next weapon was a High Speed, High Range Guided Rocket Launcher. It is a unique weapon that has it's own class: Super Artillary.
It uses a 300mm round with most (200mm) of the round being the rocket engine. Upon being fired, the rocket is guided by either you, or a target
that was locked upon before firing. It is long range, up to 1800 yards, so your enemy won't know what hit it! Better yet, it's completely portable, and
shoulder mounted. It was so strong, that the explosion registered on a nearby earthquake scale at a 2. The test tank that Tail's used was completely
destroyed. Nothing remained.
The final weapon was his masterpiece. It was a fully automatic, rapidfire shotgun, titled: "TAILS", which stands for "Totally Automatic Individually Loaded Shotgun".
In laymans terms, the shotgun has a clip attached to it. The clip uses standard SPAS-12 Shotgun ammo, and is guaranteed to never jam up, because of how the
complex loading compartment is. It is a short range gun only, due to the ammo, and class of the gun, but it packs a punch that even a Franchi SPAS-18 can't deliver.
With these 4 guns, Tails packed them up, some test ammo, and flew off to GUN Headquarters, and hoped to be able to present them directly to the Commander.
....
Joshua and his scout team were in deep shit. They were lost, and the radios were out of range of anyone else. As they walked down a corridor, they came upon an old door.
It had a massive lock on it, and there was a key right next to it, and a note was on the lock. Joshua and his team secured the room, and then Joshua went to the note.
"What in the hell...." Joshua said. "The note reads: Dear Explorers, beyond this door is what you are looking for. But beware, open at your own risk, for dangers lurk within."
He looked at the note again, and was taken aback. "It's written in blood!" he exclaimed. John took a step back from the door, and Richard took a step towards Joshua.
"Come on Joshua, let's go find the others." he said. Joshua looked at the note, then to the key, then to Richard. "No, we must continue on." he said. Richard looked like
he had been shot, and John turned white. Joshua grabbed the key, and put it into the lock, and turned it. The lock groaned with stress. It must have been hundreds of thousands of
years old! Eventually he heard a loud click, and the lock fell off. The door opened up, to reveal a long passageway. Quietly, he and his team walked down it. The path went downhill for ages.
Soon, they came upon a massive chamber. The floor was covered in ancient blood, and the pillars were worn thin. The room seemed to be degrading in front of their eyes. Joshua,
being a medical person he was, swooped down, and collected some of this blood. He got 2 containers filled with blood, while John and Richard kept a look out for anything out of the
ordinary. Joshua was done, and the team stood up.
"Alright guys, let's get out of this hell hole." Joshua said. The others nodded, and soon they were walking towards the door. Joshua had just gotten into the corridor, when John let out
an ear shattering scream. Joshua turned around, to see John running full speed towards them, with something chasing after him. Joshua may be a fox, but even his eyes failed him. He pulled out
his SPAS-12, and hollared "DUCK!". John looked up, and dove to the left, and before the thing could react, Joshua filled it with lead. It fell down, with a thump, and didn't rise.
The three stared at it, and then took off running. They got to the door, and slammed it shut. Joshua frantically looked for the lock, found it, and slapped it onto the door, and turned the key. There
was a set of 4 clicks, and the lock stayed in place. Joshua looked relieved, and the team started to walk out. The fox (Joshua), the stallion (Richard), and the rabbit (John) all jumped when they heard something slam on the door, then another, and then another. Joshua looked around the chamber.
"RUN!" he hollared. The entire squad ran out of the chamber, and proceeded to scatter through the Pyramid. Joshua ran around a corner, and saw the rest of the team, who had guards posted at ready. Joshua ran right into camp, and rang the emergency bell. Everyone woke with a start, and quickly packed up their shit, grabbed guns with ammo, and ran to Joshua. The team could tell he had been scared.
"Listen up, we go to the surface now, not because time's up, but because something else is alive in here. We are hauling ass out of here." He said. "We are moving at double pace, whatever was chasing me and the scout team got held up at an ancient door, but won't stay there for long." As if on que, something rounded the corner behind Joshua. Instantly, it was shot by Richard, who was right next to Joshua. With that, the entire team got the message, and began to haul ass back the way they came. Joshua held back Richard and John.
"Listen guys, we need to hold them off for the team. I'm not saying fall back completely, I'm saying run about 3 meters behind the group, and blast anything that gets near us, understand?" he said. John and Richard nodded, and all three began to run back towards the group, while glancing towards their backs to see if anything had begun to catch up. As they rounded the last corner, the whole team was waiting for them at the entrance door. Joshua rushed at the door, and tore off the lock. Just as the door opened, something rounded the corner. What 'it' was soon was very clear. They had opened and disturbed a zombie sanctuary. And guess what? The zombies were fucking pissed off. The first one advanced, and soon, several hundred were right behind it. Joshua slammed the door shut, and locked it. He stepped forward.
"We gotta hold em off. Someone radio the main headquarters what is here, and inform GUN. We may have a zombie invasion on our hands." He said bitterly. He turned his head. "You all have been wonderful. I wish we could spend some more time in a relaxation tent, but for now, we got to deal with these guys. Let's do it!" he yelled. Everyone yelled in zombies charged, and the group opened fire with a total of 20 shotgun's, and 10 SMG's.
....
*GUN HEADQUARTERS*
"Sir, we have an incoming transmission." said the Communications Officer. The General looked over, and walked to the Comm Station.
"Let's hear it." he said. With that, the Officer flicked a switch.
GUN Headquarters! This is Joshua from Expedition Group A at the 'Pyramid' recently discovered...*shotgun blast*...there was something here sir! I suggest immediate GUN response to this Pyramid immediately....*static*...te of the wo....*static*...FALL BACK DAMN IT...*static*...Hurry here GUN!.........*static*.........*TRANSMISSION END*
"...What in the hell??" the General said. "I want Thermal Scans of that Pyramid now!". The Comm Officer jumped up, and ran off towards the Satellite Station. The General sat down, and rubbed his eyes. "Maybe he was right...maybe we weren't supposed to find it.." he muttered. Whatever the case, a Thermal Imaging scan was being done, and soon, a video feed popped up, of live images of the Pyramid. The whole place was covered in red light, which meant heat, but there was a small gap at the entrance of blue (cool), and a small group of red, which he assumed was the Expedition Group. The General picked up a microphone.
"Attention GUN Headquarters, this is the General speaking! We have a Priority 1, Alpha Level alert! I'm requesting 3 battalions to rendevous with Transporters Alpha thru Gamma, and move to Quadrant 5. There, meet up at the GUN station, and further orders will be given to you. I repeat, this is Priority 1, Alpha Level. General out." He clicked the microphone out. He then flicked on his personal intercom.
"Commander, this is the General" he said. There was some static..then, "Yes?".
"I request a meeting with all the heads, and you need to be there too Commander." the General said. "Very well, in 10 minutes." came the reply. There was a click, and static, as the channel went dead.
The General sighed, and went to the meeting room, to wait for the rest.
