Prologue
Bill stared down three tanks and prepared for the worst. With only an M16, his chance of survival was nonexistent. As the tanks charged, Bill opened fire.
"If I'm going down, I'm taking at least two of you with me!" Bill shouted over his M16 firing.
All of a sudden, one of the tanks was split in half. The other tanks stopped their charge to see what killed their comrade.
"I never thought the infection would spread this far…." A hooded stranger mused.
After getting a good look at the young stranger the tanks decided to attack him and forgot about the elderly Vietnam veteran.
"Never turn your back on an enemy" another hooded figure in white chastised after throwing 5 knives into the back of one of the tanks.
The tank in question was already battered by Bills M16 and fell in a heap. The final tank realized the situation had changed and decided to run.
"Now where do you think you're goin'?" A hunter asked with a smirk.
Now the tank was truly afraid. Since when do the other special infected talk? Why was this hunter blocking the exit? Are they not on the same side?
"Heh, I'll just make this quick an' painless!" The hunter boasted as he threw a punch at the tank.
Bill was already on his feet and watching this spectacle. Apparently the other hooded figures were watching the hunter with interest.
"They must be some kinda team or sumthin'." Bill muttered.
The tank realized that the hunter was now an enemy and countered with his own punch.
"Damn, this guy can throw a punch!" The hunter joked after getting up from flying ten feet into a wall.
"I thought I told you not to get cocky." A man with an eyepatch and bandanna lectured while smoking a cigar.
"I thought the big lug would be caught off guard!" The hunter explained.
The eyepatched man just facepalmed.
"You do know tanks kill special infected when they are in their way, right?" The man questioned.
"Ummm….I guess I forgot…" The hunter said clearly embarrassed.
The tank was now looking at all these men and one infected. Not even four witches would be able to help him.
"I guess I'll put him out of his misery." The eyepatched man sighed.
Bill was shocked to see his only weapon was an odd looking SMG.
The man started to shoot the tank and Bill was even more shocked to realize that he should have gone through three magazines!
"Seriously Snake, how does that thing never run out of ammo?" The first hooded figure asked.
The man known as Snake just lifted the gun in front of the hooded figure.
"So…it has drums shaped in an infinity symbol?" He asked.
"Interesting…." The white hooded figure mused.
"Awesome!" The hunter exclaimed.
"Impossible more like it." Bill muttered.
Then the four figures turned to Bill. Bill decided he should introduce them to his group of survivors.
"So let me get this straight: You're an Assassin from the medieval era named Altair?" Zoey asked.
"Correct." Altair answered simply.
"You're what caused this infection right, Mr. Alex Mercer?" Francis asked with distaste.
"Unfortunately, no." Alex stated.
"So how did it start?" Louis asked.
"It turns out it was some kinda bio weapon to use on America!" The Hunter, who introduced himself as Eddie said with a grin.
"How in the world are you able to talk?" Bill asked.
"He seemed to be able to keep his humanity due to his…..personality." Snake gruffed.
"Wait just a darn minute!" Bill shouted.
"What?" Snake asked.
"Aren't you Big Boss?" Bill asked.
"…..I prefer Snake." Snake said with a glare.
"Why aren't you an old fart like me?" Bill asked.
"I found him in cryo sleep in a military base in Navada." Alex answered.
"I hate Area 51…." Francis muttered.
"Have you even been there?" Altair asked.
"Well….no…" Francis said.
"The why do ya hate sumthin' ya never saw before?" Eddie asked.
"That's just how Francis is." Louis explained.
"Is he Emo?" Alex asked.
"What?" Francis asked with a scowl.
"No, he actually is a nice guy with a bad attitude." Zoey said.
"Gee thanks Zoey….Hey!" Francis exclaimed at Zoey's joke.
"So what're you guys doing out here?" Bill asked.
"Surviving." Snake answered.
"Traveling." Altair said.
"Trying to stop the infection." Alex said.
"Just chillin'!" Eddie joked.
"I see…" Bill said.
Suddenly there was a knock on the saferoom door.
"Lemme see what's out there." Francis said as he grabbed his shotgun.
"Can y'all let us in?" Ellis asked.
"Why should I?" Francis asked.
"Because if you don't I shoot you." Nick challenged.
"Now wait a minute Nick…." Coach said trying to keep the peace.
"I really hate when people hog stuff." Rochelle said.
"Really?" Francis asked. "What else do you hate?"
"Let's see…jockeys, heights, not having a medkit, and having a medkit when I need a difibulator!"
"Ok come on in!" Francis said with a grin.
"Oh yeah and your vest." Rochelle joked.
"You know, I changed my mind!" Francis said insulted.
"Francis if they're immune let em' in!" Bill hollered.
"Oh fine, Bill!" Francis sighed opening the saferoom.
"Hey look!" Eddie shouted. "Now it's a party!"
"What the Fu- Well I'll be a monkey's uncle!" Coach exclaimed.
"Did that hunter just talk?" Nick asked.
"Oh man, this reminds me of the time me an' Keith were in an apartment." Ellis recalled. "And then a hunter showed up, but instead of attacking he started to tell jokes and-"
"Ellis sweety can this wait?" Rochelle asked.
"Okay…" Ellis said with a mournful look.
"This Keith is dead isn't he?" Snake asked.
"What?" Nick, Coach, and Rochelle exclaimed in surprise.
"How in the hell did you know that?" Ellis asked in a fierce tone that made both Francis and Nick back up a few steps.
"I never met him, I just have seen enough good men lose friends in battle to know the look you just showed." Snake said while taking a drag on his cigar.
"That look is one a man carries when he watched his friend die, but couldn't do anything to save him." Altair said grimly.
"Woah….I hope it wasn't a hunter or I'll start feeling bad!" Eddie said.
"Actually it wasn't an infected that killed Keith." Ellis said in an ominous voice."Then who or what killed him?" Alex said.
"Me…." Ellis said looking at his hands.
Everyone in the room suddenly felt very uncomfortable and put their hands closer to their weapons.
"Why Ellis?" Rochelle asked. "Why would you kill your best friend?"
"Cause he ain't human!" Ellis said angrily.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Nick asked in disbelief.
"If y'all let me finish one final Story, y'all know just why he had to die." Ellis said through tears.
Author's Note: Ha ha! Cliffhanger! No actually I want your reviews to say how Keith died. After all…This is pretty much a multiple video game crossover! I was planning on using one more game and I want you to tell me which. When you review, leave how Keith died and what he was/did that made Ellis kill him. Best Idea gets used for Chapter 2!
