Hi everybody, it's me, ARStudios, back with yet another fanfiction, and this time, it's for the famous, co-op first person shooter, Left 4 Dead! Except this fanfiction is basically the story of my own Left 4 Dead game, Left 4 Dead: Generation. It has its own characters, new Special Infected, and new campaigns. WHOO!

So, let's get started!

Left 4 Dead: Generation

Campaign 1: Agony Zone

Weapons aren't the only things on discount

Part 1: Mall

The helicopter, and it's batch of people inside it, were ready to take off. The gunner said to the pilot, "Go! We're clear!" The pilot took off, and began to fly through the air, when the door of a staircase flung open. Four people came out. One was a woman. She had some signs of aging on her face, and her hair, but she was quite healthy enough to be holding a gun and a bloody baton. It was evident from her clothing she was a local police officer. The other three were male. One was a boy, not more than 18 years of age, had dark brown hair, and wore a red Adidas shirt that had red sleeves at one half, and the remaining length of the sleeves were black, and he wore dark blue jeans. The second of the three males was a middle aged man, who had black hair, had a one week old stubble, and wore a white shirt, grey suit, and grey pants with a purple neck tie. The third was a young adult who looked like he had just reached the first points of adulthood. You could tell this from his height and his complexion. He also wore a black Star Wars shirt that had a clone trooper on it, and he wore faded brown jeans. The four people saw the helicopter rise, and the officer shouted, "HEY! COME BACK!"
The others also waved their hands, screaming, "Come back! Don't leave us! CEDA, don't do this to us!"

But the helicopter seemed to ignore them. It kept on rising, when onboard, one of the passengers suddenly coughed. His neighbor looked at him, and suddenly, the man went berserk and attacked him. The gunner said, "He's Infected!" and pulled out a pistol, but another one of the passengers attacked the gunner with a new set of claws that had grown out of their fingernails. The gunner screamed, "Hunter!"

The people on the roof of the building saw as the helicopter suddenly went out of control, and spun slowly and then wildly, and then crashed to another point on the roof, killing everyone on board.

The suit man said, "Well there goes our ride."

The boy said, "Hey! It's not so bad! Maybe they'll send another helicopter!"
"Yeah, in the distant future!"
"Shut your mouths, both of you!" The officer snarled.

Both shut up. The young adult looked at her, and said, "All right, so we're not getting rescued. That's obvious. What do we do?"

The officer said, "Well, looks to me like we'll have to find another way of escape." The boy said, "Hey, I know! I had heard that there was an evac centre at the park!" Suit man said, "Um, hello? The park? Yeah, that's practically all the way to the center of town. And you know those things are down there and at everywhere."

The police officer said, "Well, we don't have much of a choice. Look, there's a table over there with weapons and ammo." The four went to the mentioned table, and the young adult asked, "I wonder who left these?" The officer said, "Doesn't matter. Grab a weapon. We're moving out." The suit man said, "If I'm dying, I'll die well dressed, and NOT a broke man."
The boy looked at him and said, "What does that mean?"

The suit man grabbed two M1911 pistols, and said, "This Green Flu thing drove my bank to ruin. All my money? Gone. I'm gonna have it all back, even if I have to murder every last one of these animals with my own bare hands!"
The boy slowly edged away from the weirdo, and grabbed a Pump Shotgun and a Fire Axe, remarking, "Yeah, this is my style!" and aimed it at a fictional enemy. The young adult picked up a Sub Machine Gun and a Cricket Bat, saying, "Hmm….feels just right." The police officer, grabbing a UMP (YES! NEW WEAPON IN THIS GAME FROM MY OWN MIND!) said, "Can you kids even use those?"
The boy said, "Heck yeah! My dad used to take me hunting. I used a shotgun whenever I tried shooting deers." The young adult shrugged, "All those violent video games."

"Of course….."
Before they ascended down the way they had come from, the boy said, "Hey, how about we introduce ourselves? I mean, we won't be like all, 'Hey police officer, watch out! Hey suit! Look out!'" The others agreed.

The police officer said, "My name is Leona. That's all you need to know."
The suit man said, "I'm Will."
Young adult said, "Trevor. I'm…"
The boy interrupted, "Klaus! And boy do I feel glad to be with somebody! At least it's better than being alone!"
Will agreed, "Yeah, you got a point."
Leona said, "Well, now that the formal intro is over, let's get started."

Keeping in front of the others, Leona led the way down the staircase. She came to the door, which they had taken, and opened it. The way up ahead had several Common Infected in it. One of them looked at Leona and had its head smashed as Leona whacked it with her baton. The other heard the sound of their comrade dying, and turned, seeing the Survivors. All of them roared in unison, and charged. Leona whacked out a few more with her baton, while Trevor killed one of the others with a single, perfectly scored headshot, and fired at the others. Will fired his double M1911's, and turned out to be quite proficient in it, killing several more. Klaus simply pulled out his Fire Axe and knocked two heads off together with one swing. If Leona had any doubt this rag tag group of Survivors couldn't handle itself, it was gone.

"Pretty good, for regular civilians."
The four proceeded down the way. It was one of those higher floors of the absolutely huge mall they were in. Shop windows were broken, trolleys were lying around, and all kinds of stuff and blood littered the floor. Here and there were dead bodies and broken pieces of glass. It was, in overall, a very messy scene.

"All right! We're in a shopping mall, so let's search these shops for anything useful!" Leona commanded. Klaus went into the McDonalds outlet (obviously) saying, "I hope this place is okay!" But it wasn't okay. Apparently, some junk food junkies had robbed the store clean of any and all junk food. Klaus sighed, and said, "Poor McDonald never stood a chance…." Trevor came behind him and patted his shoulders.

Will went into the convenience store, and noticed three things. One was a First Aid Kit, and he said, "Found a First Aid!" grabbing it, he then looked at the other two objects. One was an adrenaline syringe. But the third was a new item (YES! BEHOLD A NEW MEDICAL ITEM!) It was also a syringe, but it had something blue in it. Will picked it up, and noticed a wrapper nearby that had been torn. It read, 'Morphine.' Suddenly, a white text appeared in front of Will, saying, 'Morphine reduces damage received.'

Will thought this through, and kept it, saying, "Found a Morphine!"

Now he had room for only two more items. But first, before he left, he grabbed a pack of cigarettes.

Will moved quickly out of the store, and noticed how depressed Klaus looked. Trevor said, "McDonalds was hit. Hard." Will looked away. Leona came out, and this time, armed with a Chainsaw. The guys gaped at her. "What?" She asked, "Didn't find anything useful?"

The group continued down the deserted third floor of the mall, and were looking for the escalator that led down, when Leona said, "Hold position." They could hear some strange coughing noise. Klaus said, "It's…. a zombie coughing?" Will said, "Sounds Canadian…." Trevor replied sarcastically, "Nah must be Russian…."
The creature that was coughing then came in view. It was a tall man, wearing a faded dark blue jacket, with the left sleeve in poor condition, and a long tongue that was almost reaching the floor. The sickening thing was he had a second tongue coming out the back of his head.

Leona aimed her UMP at the sick looking zombie, and said, "I heard of a transmission regarding some new zombie sightings. He fits the description alright." The others looked at her, and Will asked, "OK, what did your mysterious transmission say?"
Leona continued, "They said that thing over there is called a Smoker. Coughs a lot, got these huge angry warts and boils on his left arm and this tumor on his face. He doesn't look much, but he's got an insanely long tongue hidden in his mouth with which he can grab any one of us from over a distance of 30 meters."

Klaus looked at the Smoker and whistled, saying, "Man that is one ugly looking du-" Suddenly the Smoker fired his long tongue which wrapped itself around Klaus's throat and it pulled, strangling and pulling him closer to the monster. Klaus screamed, "SMOKER'S GOT ME!"

Leona fired the UMP, with Trevor backing it up with the Sub machine Gun's rapid fire. After taking quite a lot of bullets, the Smoker suddenly blew up, releasing a large cloud of smoke and a gasping noise. Klaus coughed on the smoke, and came out of the clouds, saying, "Say, I had a manga idea once. It was regarding this mutant guy who could change his mutation to any mutation he wanted. This tongue guy was pretty much like one of those ideas."
Trevor said, "Hold on. You write mangas?"
Klaus said, "Nah, I can't make my mind on which manga to make. I have over a thousand ideas but I can't agree which one to make."

"How interesting…."
The gunfire had attracted a Horde, and the next thing you know, an angry group of Commons were coming from in front of them, and some of the more acrobatic ones were actually climbing over the railings of the third floor (How did they even get up there?) and Trevor pulled out his cricket bat to fend off some of the nearer ones. Four fell victim to his swinging. He got back to back with Will, who was firing in front. Will saw how expertly Trevor was using the cricket bat, and asked, "What are you, a cricket player?"
Trevor said, "Nah, cricket is just something I like, like many Australians."
Will smashed a Common's face in, and said, "You're Australian?" Trevor pulled out he Sub machine Gun, shoved a Common back and shot him along with two other Commons, and said, "Yeah. Yeah I am. Came for study purposes, Infection broke out the next day. And then they were cancelling flights before you know it." The Commons had been cleared out. Leona motioned them to move forward, and the group continued down the way. They found the escalator, which was obviously not functional, and they went down it, when a loud 'MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' was heard, a huge figure came out of nowhere, snatched Will, and the two were flying in the air. The huge figure crashed on the floor, and started smashing Will against the floor. Will screamed, "HELP! GIANT ARMED PUNK'S PUMMELING ME!"
Leona screamed, "The transmission also said about that! It's called a Charger! Aim for its head!" The Charger, who was wearing a hazmat suit, ignored them and continued to pummel Will against the ground. Leona pulled out the chainsaw and stabbed it directly into the Charger's back. It let go of Will, and swung his huge arm at Leona, but her police training had granted her reflexes that enabled her to dodge the Charger's attack. The chainsaw, however, was still lodged in the Charger's back. Trevor fired at the Charger's face, while Klaus aimed for the body, and Leona whacked at the monster with her baton. The Charger, before having a chance to swing or charge again, died. Will got up slowly, saying, "Aw crud…that thing pummels hard." Leona touched his shoulder, asking, "You all right?"
Will hissed, "I just got pummeled by a giant arm zombie! How is that all right?" Will then looked forward, and strode off. Leona pulled out the chainsaw from the Charger's back.
The group now had to get off this floor. Strangely enough, the escalator to the first floor was NOT near where the Charger had pummeled Will. A little strange, considering where they landed was near the escalator's end. Leona looked around, and pointed to the right, saying, "Over there!" The other three saw the escalator. Klaus asked, "So Leona, what other things did the transmission say about the new zombies?"

Leona recounted what she had heard, "Let's see, we saw Smokey and Charger. There was this thing they called a Boomer, a huge fat zombie that pukes all over you and the puke seems to attract other zombies to the one who got puked. Doesn't matter how much noise you make. Their attention is towards the one who got puked on."

Will said, "Gross. Can't think of this suit getting dirty."
Leona continued, "Then they said about a Hunter. This weird zombie that looks normal, but wears a hoodie that makes him look like that guy from Assassin's Creed. Now, they said that the Hunter can jump huge heights, almost 50 metres max, and it can cover a similar distance horizontally. When he pounces someone, yes pounces, they start to tear your guts out with their claws. Their fingernails have become claws."

Klaus whistled at this. (Klaus's Brain Reporting (KBR): Any Assassin's Creed assassin will be jealous of that.)

Leona went on, "Then they said about something called a Jockey, this little skittish guy who jumps on your head, and then rides you, using his weight to take you the way to imminent death, like into other zombies or off ledges. You have to listen for a weird laughing noise to tell he's nearby."

Trevor said, "What kind of zombies are these? They seem…..organized."
"And then they mentioned a zombie called a Spitter. They said, 'it's the ugliest thing you'll ever see. Spits acid in the form of a large ball. The acid is highly corrosive so avoid it at all costs."
Klaus said, "This is starting to look more and more like a video game…."

"The transmission said, 'Watch out for crying. If you hear crying, then a Witch is nearby.' Said that she looks thin, but can take continuous bullets to the head. They said, 'The only way to kill this woman in one hit is cr0wning her, that is, shooting her in the head with a shotgun, and then all the pellets hitting her in the head.'"

Klaus pulled out his Pump Shotgun, saying, "I knew grabbing this bad boy was a good idea!"
Leona said, with a hint of danger in her voice, "And the last thing was the Tank."
Trevor interrupted, "The zombies have TANKS?"
Leona said, "They don't need them. The transmission said that this thing was just as big as any of us, but has tree trunks for muscles, and can rip the ground to throw at you, and can even punch huge objects at us." The others shuddered. "If this is true," Trevor said, "I don't think we'll stand a chance….."
Will said, "Yeah, that much is true."
Leona said, "Now hold on, I wasn't finished. They also said its weaknesses include fire, and the fact that the Tank is pretty slow. So we have some advantage over this guy. And something is better than nothing."

Killing more Common Infected on the way to the Escalator, the group encountered their first Hunter. Trevor was about to go down it first, when he heard a growling noise. Looking around, he then saw in one of the shops, a man wearing a hoodie, crouched on the floor. Trevor shouted, "HOODIE! I mean HUNTER!"

The Hunter leapt, emitting his famous scream, but Trevor ducked in the nick of time. The Hunter flew through the air, and landed several metres away from the foot of the escalator. The Hunter looked back up, angry, and jumped at them again. But this time, Leona, with the precision of a baseball player, whacked the Hunter with her baton on the side of his head, killing him instantly.

The others were just dumbfounded.

Continuing down the escalator, they got ambushed by a group of Commons and several zombies wearing hazmat suits and even one wearing Riot police protection body armor and helmet with a full visor. Klaus noticed a few of the Commons looked skeletal. Leona whacked one of the Commons, when the Armored Infected suddenly tackled her to the ground. Will shot both of the Hazmat Infected in the face, breaking the glass panes of their suits, and saw Leona being attacked. He then aimed at the Armored's head and fired, but the bullet ricocheted off the helmet and instead killed a Common that was sneaking up on Will. Klaus groaned, "Come on! Bullet-proof zombies?!" Leona pushed the Armored off of her and then got up herself. She then saw that his legs and arms were unarmored. Pulling out her trusty baton again, she smashed the legs of the Armored with so much force, the poor Z flew down to the ground. It looked up, and she pulled off his helmet, saying, "Zombies don't deserve armor!" And crushed it's skull with her foot. She wiped her shoe on the ground, and sighed, "Sorry…" Looks like this was directed at the Armored Infected, who, after all, had been a police officer. And Leona herself was one.

Trevor shoved back another Common and fired, killing it, while Klaus sent another flying away with the blast of his Pump Shotgun. The ambush defeated, they continued. Now they were on the first floor, but the objective now was to get to the exit. Unfortunately, modern shopping malls are like massive labyrinths. Trevor saw something on the ground, and saw it was a strange container containing something green. It was next to the corpse of a Hazmat Infected. He turned to the others, asking, "Umm…..what is this? Our infected hazmat friends dropped it."

Klaus looked at it, saying, "Umm…..looks like…PUKE."

"And know what'll make me puke?" Leona said, aiming her UMP at something, "THAT."
The three turned around, and saw two immensely fat Infected-obviously the 'Boomers.' One was a male, wearing a red sweater that no longer fit because of his fat body, which had plenty of tumors and warts on it, as well as on his arms. The other was a female one, which, strangely, was wearing glasses, and while being just as fat as the male one, it didn't have any tumors. She had a dark blue shirt on that also didn't fit anymore.

"Gross!" Will snarled, "I ain't letting those things puke on me!" He quickly fired at the male Boomer, and it blew up in just two hits. The female Boomer suddenly vomited her bile, and it almost hit Will, who got out of the way in time. The gross bile, however, splattered all over Klaus and Trevor's shoes. Both recoiled in disgust.

Klaus said, "Yuck! Smells worse than my own socks!"
Trevor complained, "Aw man! These Nikes were brand new!"
The group heard the screams of the Infected, and a huge horde, with a few Armored Infected, and one horrible looking Special Infected, approached. The Special had an elongated neck, with half of it being a horrible looking mouth. She had sharp claws, tattered clothes, and acid drooling out of her mouth. Some of her skin looked worn away. Leona said, "Guess who that is."
Klaus said, "Will's girlfriend?" Earning him a slap on the head from Will.

"SPITTER!"
The Spitter gurgled, and spat a glob of acid that travelled through the air. It landed right in the middle of the group, and everybody jumped away from the heat of the acid which stung their skin. Everybody opened fire, but this attracted the attention of more Infected who were coming out of various shops. One of them was another Hunter, only this one was wearing a purple hoodie. Leona fired the UMP directly at the Spitter's head, causing it to rupture and spurt out acid as the Spitter released her final, high-pitched shrieks.

The Hunter leapt through the air, and landed on the second floor, observing the situation carefully. The group of four were now back to back, firing, shoving and slashing at the oncoming Infected. The Hunter still didn't attack, and waited.

Leona sprayed the bullets of her UMP, Klaus fired wildly in all directions, Trevor aimed for the heads, and so was Will. Leona shoved a Hazmat Infected back, and shot it, saying, "HAUL YOURSELVES!"
The three followed Leona, gunning down the incoming Infected. A Smoker came out of a corner, which Klaus dispatched with the Pump Shotgun. Trevor remembered the puke he had found, and pulling it out, decided a plan. "Throwing puke!" he said and tossed it. All Infected eyes followed the Bile Bomb, and it broke on the head on one of the Commons. The others suddenly ignored the Survivors and turned their attentions to the unfortunate Common, as they tore him to shreds and then they just blindly ran about the disgusting clouds of vapors being released by the bile.

Trevor said, "Whoa! That stuff works so much better on them." Leona pulled his shoulder, saying, "Cut the commentary! We have to get to the exit!" All four ran to the entrance, which Leona fired at to break it open. The four ran outside to fresh air, but the scene wasn't much promising either. CEDA trucks were parked here and there and tents had been established, but dead bodies were lying here and there. The four ran as fast as they could, with Will slowing down, saying, "Hold on…. I gotta…..catch my breath…." Leona complained, "Come on, slow poke! I'm 41, and I can still run farther than you!"
Will groaned, "Well, clearly you haven't smoked." Suddenly, the purple Hunter leapt through the air and landed behind Will, and started dragging him away. "WILL!" Klaus screamed, and fired at the Hunter. Instead of hitting the Hunter at all, one of the pellets almost hit Will on the head (KBR=How's my aim?)

Leona chased after the Hunter, when the Hunter suddenly lifted Will, growled, and tossed him at her. Leona ducked, while Will landed at Trevor's ankles, knocking him down too. Leona fired the UMP at the Hunter, who stumbled back, but she immediately grabbed it by the neck, pulled him closer, and fired continuously. The Hunter went stiff, and Leona let it go. The others look at her, and Will said, "Ma'am…..you have ISSUES."

Leona cast a dangerous look which struck terror into the hearts of Trevor and Klaus, but did nothing on the banker. Leona simply said, "Do I?"

The four continued past the main gate of the mall, and then Leona saw a safe house sign, and said, "Look!" Ahead was a hardware store that had a safe house sign on it. The windows of the store were completely barricaded. The four rushed into the store, but were met by a few Common Infected. Clearing them out, the group saw a door that led to the store room that had the safe house sign on it. Entering it, they were welcomed by an empty, but spacious room. There were sleeping bags on the floor, and a table laden with weapons and ammo. Trevor closed the door, and bolted it. He said, "Oh man…..we're safe….we actually made it out alive out of that crazy shopping mall!"
"Yeah, we're safe…."Leona said, "For now."

To be continued!
The four Survivors, Leona, Klaus, Will and Trevor belong to me. You can see them on my deviantart page, under the name of arafridi2000. The campaign, Agony Mall, and other campaigns to come, also belong to me. And the story, which is supposed to be a story version of the game in my mind, Left 4 Dead: Generation, IS ALSO MINE!
