Zombies versus Clone Troopers

Chapter 1: Investigation Force

It seemed like it should have been a routine inspection for a group of clone troopers as their gunship was landing on a distant moon that had been inhabited by colonists. The head clone trooper got out of the gunship and looked around, the place seemed quiet, too quiet.

"Something doesn't feel right about this place" said the clone trooper commander.

"Oh come on, it's just a typical inspection, the Republic does this all the time with these colonialists" said a clone trooper.

"Yea, maybe you might be right" said the clone trooper commander, "but just to be sure nothing else surprises us, keep up on your guard."

The squad of clone troopers got out of their gunship and headed to the city on the moon they were on. The city itself was quite empty of its inhabitants. Not a single trace of them could be found at all.

"This is so eerily strange" said a clone trooper.

"Oh come on, you're being paranoid" said another trooper, "they must be around here somewhere."

Suddenly the clone troopers heard some odd sounds coming toward them. The sounds didn't sound like normal human sounds at all. But as the clone troopers geared themselves ready for anything waiting around the corner, up above the rooftops of some of the buildings, some odd shadows were moving about and were racing toward where the squad of clone troopers were.

"What the heck is that!" cried one of the clone troopers as he noticed some odd creatures that looked human but were not.

"Whatever they are, fire at them, they do not look friendly!" ordered the clone commander.

The clone troopers fired at the unknown creatures even before they got to get close enough to them. But as the clone troopers continued to move into the city itself, more non-human noises could be heard.

"More of those things are coming" said the clone commander.

"It's as if almost they have overrun the place here" added a clone trooper.

Suddenly more of these creatures emerged from around a corner, along with a number of them climbing up a gate. The clone troopers simply responded by firing their weapons at them as they came by the numbers.

"Keep firing!" cried the clone commander.

As they did, they continued their way and started to climb up a ladder heading up toward the roof of the building. There, a single humanoid like creature they had encountered attacked them before it was put out of its misery. Upon a closer inspection, the clone commander could not believe his eyes as it was none other than a colonialist that was supposed to have welcomed them with open arms.

"What the heck happened here!" cried the clone commander who couldn't believe they were shooting at colonialists.

"Seems like they got some kind of a virus or something" said a clone trooper who was rather making a good educated guess.

"Blast!" cried the clone commander as he could see the gunship being literally torn apart by the former colonialists now infected zombies.

"Oh that's just great, how the heck are we going to contact the Republic now!" cried another clone trooper.

"There must be a communications tower somewhere, if we can find it and activate it, we may just have some hope left" said the clone commander.

"You mean we have to fight our way through the former colony with all of those whatevers out there?" asked the clone trooper.

"Yes, that's the obvious case" continued the clone commander.

As the clone commander and the rest of the squad prepared themselves for another fight, the infected colonialists below were still swarming around, suddenly a grenade was sent from the top below to which some of the zombies noticed it but didn't seem to care as it then exploded.

"Move it!" ordered the clone commander.

The squad of clone troopers continued to fight their way through the crowd of infected colonialists, to which they ended up hearing something heavier moving toward them. The ground shook beneath them as they could hear large stomps moving toward them.

"Something big is coming our way!" cried a clone trooper.

Suddenly what seemed like a large muscular zombie like creature was coming toward them at a very fast speed.

"Shoot and run!" ordered the clone commander.

The clones fired back at the large tank zombie as it began to move through the crowd of other zombies, tossing them around like toys as it moved toward the squad of clone troopers. About a few more feet later, the clone troopers reached an armory and locked the door tight to which the tank zombie could not be able to break down.

"They're not going to stop are they?" asked a clone trooper to the commander.

"No, they're not, but we need to hurry if we want to survive" continued the clone commander.

As the clone troopers started to reload their weapons with the ammo that was left at the armory, the clone commander was still wondering what to do next. The zombies outside the armory were trying to find a way in which wasn't good at all. The clone troopers were outnumbered from ten to one when it came to fighting off the zombies. The communication tower itself was in the center of the colony, which was infested with these zombies roaming about.
