Growl's echoed in the distance as the sound of foot steps came closer at a rapid pace, shot's fired out from what sounded like a pistol, then a voice came out in a Russian accent. "Hello, guy's I require assistance." The man yelled out hoping to be saved in time, suddenly shots rang out from what he almost immediately recognised as the pack-a-punched MP40 dubbed 'The Afterburner' by its German owner. He looked to his left and saw who he expected to see.
"Are you injured Russian?" The man asked him in a German accent.
"No, I am not hit Doctor." He answered.
"Good…lets get back; I thought you would remember, Der Reise is not a good place to wander alone." The doctor said to his Russian friend. They started to walk down the metal steps when the Russian stared a conversation.
"Saying that why are you alone, huh." The Doctor just gave him a quick look and carried on walking.
"Ration hunting my friend." They then entered a smaller room through a pair of double sliding doors and the doctor asked a question.
"Russian why were you so easily out numbered, I mean you had a PPSh-41 and an upgraded .357 Magnum…now what did Dempsey call it….?" The German pondered but before he could think of the answer its namer said it for him.
"I called it the '.357 Plus 1 Kil-u' ok." A voice in an American accent said from beyond the single sliding door in front of them. They both walked through the door to see they were on the right side of a courtyard, and on an elevated platform in front of them stood two men. "I told you, I called it that." Said the man on the right obviously Dempsey, he was carrying his Pack-a-Punched BAR called by him 'The Widow Maker'. The other man looked at the Doctor.
"Richtofen did you get the rations?" The other man asked in a Japanese accent.
"Yes I did Takeo". Richtofen answered
"So Nikolai, what was that yelling. Don't tell me we had another incident like at 'Shi No Numa'." Dempsey asked and began to laugh. Back at Shi No Numa there had been no attacks for three days and they all thought it was over. Of-course Nikolai got really drunk, he fell through a window and landed down behind the gate then a fog rolled in. Dempsey and Richtofen started laugh at him whilst Takeo went down to check on him. Nikolai began to scream as a lightning bolt came down and hit right in front of him. Dempsey and Richtofen both stopped laughing as they saw it. The light dissipated and there was a dog, parts of its skin were burned and were totally not there and revealed bone. As soon as it saw Nikolai it growled and its entire spine ridge burst into flames. It jumped up at him but it fell from what sounded like a burst from a Type 100 smg and it was Nikolai looked up to see Takeo holding out his hand. He grabbed it and was pulled up then more lightning bolts came down. Nikolai raised his PPSh-41 and started to fire as well as Takeo then shots came from upstairs. They both dispatched the un-dead dogs and ran back up to see two more dog corpses. Then the wailing and low growling of the Imperial Japanese Zombie horde came from the distance, the four got ready for a battle.
"It was the first time we encountered the hell hounds how was I supposed to expect that!!" Nikolai yelled at his American team mate.
"No, I wasn't laughing about the dogs; it was about you falling out the window." He continued to laugh as Nikolai walked over to the Pack-a Punch machine behind them and the teleporter receiver node and inserted his PPSH-41 inside it. About a minute later it came back out with elaborate engravings all over it there was now an ammo reader on it. 155/155 rounds in it and 700 spare.
"I christen this gun 'The Reaper'." He announced as Takeo looked up at the clock.
"Two AM, we better get to bed, they might come again later and we need sleep." Takeo said with a yawn. They all nodded and walked through the sliding door on the left and through a pair of sliding double doors then they came to a locked door on the right. Richotfen opened the door as he had the keys he opened it and let them in before walking in himself he then shut the door, and then it was revealed that they had several locking mechanisms; he then locked all the pad locks on the door and wall.
"Right I'm off to bed." Richtofen announced as he walked over to the bunk beds in the corner of the room, "Good night."
"Night." They all responded with.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Richtofen was the first to wake up he looked at the small clock in the room. "Hmmm a little later than usual but *stretches* nothing too bad." The clock said eight thirty when he usually got up a quarter of an hour later. He quickly got up and changed out of his night clothes and into one of his day sets. He had to get changed quickly as Nikolai would be up in a few minutes. He then walked over to the camp stove they had and started making breakfast for them all.
"Do I smell, food!?!" Came the voice of Nikolai who woke up Just as the food was being finished.
"Yes, Russian come eat, but get dressed first, I do not wish to see you in your under short's." He said as Nikolai got dressed and five minuets later Takeo woke up, whom got dressed immediately and then joined them. No words were spoken as they were eating, so they could listen for any zombie attacks. Then Dempsey woke up.
"Morning 'Tank'." Nikolai greeted.
"Morning Dempsey" Takeo said.
"Morning" Said Richtofen.
"Morning all." Dempsey greeted "So what's the agenda for today." He said whilst grabbing a plate and fork.
"I thought since the zombies are gone for now, I thought we could go exploring and go into the underground sections." Nikolai suggested. As soon as he said underground sections, Richtofen choked on his food. Takeo went over to smack his back, and he got him to swallow the bacon.
"No no no, I am against that idea." Richtofen said to the group.
"Why?" Takeo simply asked.
"Why…we do not know what is down there. And there might be a horde of zombies waiting to attack us.
"Ok we need to vote." Dempsey said. "Nikolai?"
"I say go."
"I vote go" Dempsey said. "Doctor?" Dempsey asked.
"Simply no. He said simply.
"Ok, Takeo." Dempsey asked.
"No vote." Takeo responded.
"Well Richtofen, you have been out voted, two to one to none. Let's go." Nikolai said they then grabbed their guns; Takeo grabbed his pack-a-punched Type 100, now dubbed the '1001 samurais' by its owner. They then left the room and Richtofen locked it thinking.
"Why did he have to be so curious, they might find out what I've done down there" They all entered the nearest teleporter room and used the map to find a way lower. When they found it they all made there way to it Dempsey kicked the door open, they looked down a dark stair way and slowly walked down first, holding 'The widow maker' in hand as he slowly walked down into the darkness. The Shadows looked like dark demons ready to claw at the team, the lack of light made it even scarier even for them. Nikolai walked up to Dempsey and asked a question.
"Tank, is it true that you had fought the un-dead before with another squad?"
"Yeah…we were trapped in a building strangely known as 'Natch der Untoten', after five months we left due to it getting to much of a struggle to survive, we left in between rounds as we called them, rounds were when the zombies attacked. We later arrived at an asylum called 'Verrüct' and we were attacked by them again. We all made it out alive, the other three left for front line duty against the zombies, I was chosen for the mission at 'Shi No Numa' and you know the rest."
Then Takeo walked over to them. "Why do you think Richtofen wanted us to stay up top?"
"Honestly I have no clue Takeo, maybe he didn't want us to get hurt, but I get the feeling its something more." Nikolai told the Imperial solider. They reached the bottom of the staircase and turned, down the hallway where about a dozen zombies.
"Who wants to go first?" Richtofen asked the team.
"I'll go." Takeo whispered as he fired off his'1001 Samurais'. As soon as the first shot left the gun all the zombies turned towards them. The Nazi un-dead groaned as they marched towards the group. Dempsey and Richtofen fired also, followed by Richtofen. The Zombies dropped like flies, body parts tearing off. Then a large horde came charging down the hallway, so Richtofen threw a grenade at then and returned fire. When the grenade went off the main centre of the horde was right above it, and most of them went up in the explosion, and the rest were killed off by the gunfire.
The group all caught their breath, when Dempsey saw something; "Hey what's *Gasp* that?" He asked as he walked over to the door way with a light coming out of it. Then he looked in amazement at what he saw. "Hey, look another teleporter."
"Well we can link it to the mainframe when were done here." Nikolai said.
"Come on there's another room over there." Takeo said. As soon as Richtofen saw the room that Takeo was referring to he looked pale for a second, but shook it off. They walked to the door and as Takeo was about to open it the growl of the un-dead came from both sides, a double door at the end of the corridor they just came down burst open and at least three whole hordes of zombies came out. Then at the other end two hordes came out of the darkness, being led by an unknown creature. It looked a lot like a zombie but it had no left arm, and instead it had a spiked tentacle and its right arm had a claw for a hand. It had scales instead of skin and seemed to be commanding the zombies. They all entered the room and it was dark only the emergency lights were on, and one of them was illuminating the power switch.
"Nikolai, get the power on." Dempsey said as he pointed to the switch. Nikolai rushed to it and turned it on, the light's turned on to reveal they were in a green room. There was the sound of bubbling water behind them but none of them took any notice. They raised there weapons to the door and as soon as they saw the first un-dead Nazi, they opened fire, tearing them to shreds. Then there was the sound of glass breaking and pouring and dripping water behind them. The next thing they heard except for the cries of the un-dead and guns firing surprised them, it was the sound of a Wunderwaffe preparing to fire.
"Get down!!!" A young female German accented voice yelled at the group. They did as they were ordered, but they did not expect what happened next, instead of the lightning like shots it was like a bullets and was like an automatic weapon. When the bullets hit the un-dead they were put in to a fit of sorts and collapsed still twitching. The unknown creature saw the devastation, and as soon as it saw the girl behind the group it looked shocked and ran off.
The men turned to look at there saviour but before they could turn there heads she yelled again. "Don't you look, I'm indecent!!" They all turned away quickly before Dempsey asked a stupid question.
"If you don't mind me asking why are you indecent?" The others looked at him like he was crazy.
"I have been in a tank, why in the fuck do you think I am naked." There was a sound of metal clanking against metal; they assumed she was placing the Wunderwaffe down.
"Don't touch the Wunderwaffe, ok." She said in a calmer tone. "I will tell you when you can turn around." There then was a hissing sound and the sound of a door opening to the back and in the left corner. The door closed and there was another hiss, then they heard knocking and she spoke again. "You can look now." She said as she started humming to herself. They turned around as Takeo followed the humming, he looked back and saw the others were giving him looks as if to say 'You're a dead man if you don't get back here' or 'it was nice knowing you'.
"So do you have a name?" He asked.
"No, not really, I have always been called, Project X, but I like the name Angel."
"Well you can name yourself that if you want." Takeo smiled she was quite nice. "So, Angel how old are you?"
"I'm twelve going on thirteen." She said with a giggle.
"May I ask why you were in there?" At this question she sighed in a slightly, angry and depressed tone.
"Well, you see I was locked up in there by my rebellious former second in command; he took over all of my forces and used them against me." The group looked at each other with looks to say, 'is she crazy' and 'what the heck is she talking about'. "I guess you think I am crazy by that statement, basically I am the former leader of the un-dead hordes." As she said this Takeo jolted quickly from the door. The door opened and Angel stepped out. She was wearing a cloak (Like Ruins from my previous story) it was all black, but around the end of the sleeves, hood and feet it was red. She had a metal silver belt and there were two 'Porter's X2 Ray guns (it's the Pack-a-punched ray gun). She bent over and picked up the Wunderwaffe but it was different, it had the engravings on it as if it had been Pack-a-Punched but instead of its usual barrel it had three long thin barrels, and the tube behind the barrel had purple lightning in it not red or blue. On the sides it had twelve 'bulbs' not three or five. "I can guess you are total freaked out by that revelation, but I am not infected, I was only created to control them." She explained. But they did not look totally convinced.
"If you were the leader, then tell us this why do they attack us." Dempsey asked.
"The only reason they attack you living creatures is because living flesh is the only thing that can sustain them and does not taste bad, apparently all other things taste like charcoal." Angel put great emphasis on 'living creatures'. Then she looked around to get a better look at the group when she saw someone she recognised. "Doctor…..Richtofen, I didn't think I would see you here again." She put great emphasis on 'Again'. The other three just looked at Richtofen before Nikolai asked.
"You've been here before?"
"Yes, Russian I worked on the Wunderwaffe here." Richtofen said.
"Not just that but the Doctor also worked on the virus that would eventually become the Zombie virus." Angel said with a laugh, then she realised what she just said and started to stop laughing. "Hahaha…haha….ha….ha….did I just say that out loud?" She asked and Richtofen nodded with a scared look on his face. Then the other three raised there weapons at Richtofen.
"So you made this fucking virus Doc!!" Dempsey yelled. Then Angel dived in front of Richtofen.
"Leave the Doctor alone or else you will have to deal with me!" Angel shouted coldly. "Will you let him explain himself?" Angel asked them. They nodded.
"Well, I didn't create the zombie virus it was adapted to that purpose by another scientist, I don't know who. I originally created a virus that would paralyze a person by cutting off brain neural functions, it was meant to save lives." He explained. They then all lowered the weapons and laughed at him.
"So, Richtofen why were you so scared you made a virus that could save lives?" Takeo asked.
"I thought you wouldn't trust me anymore if you knew." With that over Dempsey motioned to follow him out of the room. As they left the room Nikolai asked Dempsey a question.
"Hey Dempsey should we link it to the mainframe now?"
"Sure, Nikolai." He simply responded
"Hey I'll activate it whilst you four link it." Angel said.
"Angel, you cannot possibly hold them off all by your self." Takeo said to her.
"You guy's forget I was their leader I know all their tricks."
"Ok, we will go link it but I want you to teleport up there first time go it." Richtofen told her.
"Scout's Honour sir." The four started to walk back up the stairs before Angel spoke up again. "Don't forget to lock the door on your way out, when he finds out I've been released he will stop at nothing to seal me away again and kill you, my second is that brutal. "
"Sure." Came the voice of Richtofen. As soon as they were out of earshot Angel spoke up again and rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, like I'm a scout."
-------------------------------------------- (Meanwhile)-------------------------------------------
"You know she's lying right?" Richtofen asked Dempsey, as Takeo locked the door.
"Yeah, I know."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel ran into the room and raised her Wunderwaffe DG-4 JZ-2 basically the Wunderwaffe MK4, and secured the room. Once she was sure it was safe she ran over to the corner and picked up a tape recorder and turned it on.
---------------------------------------------- (Meanwhile) ----------------------------------------
"Do you think we can trust her?" Nikolai asked Richtofen.
"Yes, I do my Russian." He responded as Nikolai walked over to the control panel. They were back in the court yard; Dempsey and Takeo were standing guard.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel turned off the recorder and placed it in the centre of the sender node were one stood whilst being teleported. She pressed the button on the wall next to it so the signal could be sent out for it to be connected. Then she ran out of the room and turned the way of her room and passed it.
------------------------------------------------ (Meanwhile) --------------------------------------
The lightning bolt hit the node and the recorder was there, Nikolai picked it up and pressed the play button and Angels voice came out of it.
"Guy's sorry I wasn't on this one, I had to go and activate teleporter number five, and tell Richtofen I will be coming on the next one." Nikolai threw it away and looked around they were all serious except for Richtofen who looked worried.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel ran through the halls shooting at the zombies, suddenly one of the unknown creatures ran towards her. "So he's sending in a quantrix, I'm impressed." Angel said as she gunned it down, a corner was coming up so she skidded and tried to turn but crashed quite humoursly into an open closet. She jumped out and carried on running, the room was coming up, she opened the door and ran in then the growl of the zombies came, she turned around and there were at least two whole hordes. The zombies fell to the floor and twitched as Angel fired her Wunderwaffe at them, backtracking she got up on the platform and pressed the button and stepped on to the sender node, lightning landed around her and she lowered her weapon and smirked at them as she was teleported off. She was surrounded by darkness and a white circle was above her, she was going faster and faster to the circle, then she was engulfed in light, once it dissipated she saw she was in the courtyard. She then felt like she was going to be sick and she stumbled towards the edge, then Richtofen's voice came into her ears.
"Breath, Angel, Breath." She did and the feeling left. Then she heard chuckling and grumbling. She turned to see Dempsey and the other man laughing at Nikolai who was grumbling at them.
"So she didn't puke, that's more than we can say about you Nikolai." Dempsey mocked. As when they first arrived there in the teleporter from 'Shi No Numa' Nikolai threw his guts up right there in the courtyard. (See beginning of the trailer for that moment). Then a young male German laugh came out from the other end of the courtyard. They all turned to face the figure, he wore a cloak like Angel but it was white not black and had light blue not red on the ends.
"Well it seems you have a name now huh, Angel." The boy said to her. She only growled at him. "Ok, I'll be blunt, now that you are free; I have no other alterative but to slaughter you and your friends." He said laughing at her. "But, I like a bit of challenge; I will give you till ten pm to get out of here, if not your as good as dead."
"Well, Devil bring it on." She told him as he teleported away, in a red lightning bolt.
"So, was that your second in command?" Takeo asked.
"Yeah, hey I never got your name."
"Oh, I'm Takeo, solider of the imperial army of Japan."
"Takeo, what time is it?" He looked at the clock.
"Twelve midday."
"WHAT!!! Do you have any tool's here?"
"Yes."
"Well fucking get them, I am a mechanical genius, I can make us a way out of here well before ten so hurry." She said as Takeo ran off to get them. When she got them she started to work on the Pack-A-Punch machine by removing it from the wall in thirty minutes, she asked the guys to help her move it and they did, she dismantled it and built five smaller hand held boxes, they were just the part they are inserted in and a power source. That took her one and a half hours. Then she pressed a blue button on the panel to make the node retract and metal filled the area were it once was, she then reconfigured it to make it a sender and receiver but due to the power shortage and time only one of each could be done, so one transport to it and one away. That took her another hour. She then inserted dials into the four teleporters, Zero (Mainframe), one (closest), two (second closest) third (furthest ground level). She then went down using the teleporter, and did the same, fourth (first underground), fifth (second underground). She also rigged them to send all power to the main frame this took four hours fifty minutes, and most of it was the rigging part. She then teleported up and ran to the main frame. "Guy's I'm done." She said as she panted for air. "We just have to let it charge."
"Good job Angel." Richtofen said. Then she rested, but before long a dark laugh fell upon the courtyard.
"So you are still here, you have five minutes to prepare for your imminent demise." Came the voice of Devil.
"Guy's grab the perks, enough for all of us!!!"Angel yelled. And they ran. When they came back Angel was at the ready. Richtofen gave her one, Juggernog, Quick revive soda, Double tap Root Beer and Speed Cola which she attached to her belt. "Guy's how much ammo do you have?" They all counted and Takeo told her first.
"Not enough."
"Easily solved." As she lifted up her hand and a box of ammo appeared in a green light and she threw it at them and ammo appeared on there belts. "MAX AMMO" She said in a demotic voice.
"So you were the one who was sending them us?" Takeo asked. Angel nodded then the Zombies came in greater numbers than before and Quantrix's came out as well. All the guns fired Dempsey and Nikolai covering the gaps n the railings whilst Richtofen, Angel and Takeo covered the front. Then Angel gave something to Takeo.
"INSTA KILL" She yelled as the zombies were dieing with one shot at a time. It had been twenty minutes since they had started shooting when Nikolai shouted.
"It's charged."
"Ok, get in it!!!" Angel yelled and they did. As soon as she got in it she activated it and the door closed and lightening shot around them. Then Devil shot down in-front of them carrying a Longinus (Pack-a-Punched Panzerschreck) over his shoulder and a Barracuda FU-A11 (a Pack-A-Punched MG42) in his right hand. He Fired the Longinus at the nearby generator and caused a power surge. "Oh SHIT" Angel screamed as they were shook and sent off to who knows where, but at least it least it couldn't be any worse than here.
------------------------------------------- (Meanwhile) -------------------------------------------
In Mercy city four survivors were trying to escape the infected outbreak when one of them saw a streak of light hit the ground a few blocks away. "Hey what do you suppose that was?" The black man asked his friends.
"I don't know Louis but let's find out, what do you think guy's," A young woman asked the other two behind them.
"Heck Zoey, I wanna go, but let's just see what the team leader says." The biker said to the old man next to him.
"What! Since when did I get elected team leader?" The old man asked.
"Well, you get us out of quite a lot of hard spots."
"Well I say go there may be something we can use."
"Well let's go." The young woman said as she ran towards it.
"Hey Zoey wait up." Louis said as he followed her.
"Come on Bill or are you getting too slow in your old age." The biker mocked before he started to follow the other two.
"God damnit Francis, get back here!!!" Bill yelled as he chased him.
