CHAPTER 2

"OK…Just what the fuck is this? How can you be me?" Dempsey said while poking the man who claimed to be him in the chest. He looked at least 15 years younger, but other than that they looked just alike.

"Look, we don't have time to explain! We need you to come with us!" The "other Dempsey" said.

"Maxis is alive! Und he vill make more Zombies again in Zhis time! Time is no longer on our side!" Richtofen's younger-looking counterpart said.

"How do you know about Maxis? Und vhere did you get zhis information?" Richtofen yelled.

"I think you lousy pricks are FUCKING with us! WE DID ALL THAT ZOMBIE SHIT FOR YOU PEOPLE!" A heavily drunken Nikolai said and passed out.

"Damn, is that what I'm turning into?" The other Nikolai said.

"Look, the country is at stake! Maxis is here, in this time, making more Zombies! We need your help! He's already been doing it for a while." The supposed younger Dempsey said.

"What do you guys think, do ya think they're lying?" Dempsey asked his friends.

"Impossible. No one knows about Maxis except us and the government." Takeo said.

"Richtofen?" Dempsey said.

"Eeeeeeh. Ja, ja okay." Richtofen said. An unintelligible grumbling mutter came from Nikolai who was face down on the floor.

"I'm thinking' that's a yes. So…where are we going?" Dempsey said.

"Come with us." The younger Dempsey said. As their counter parts from the past led them out of the bar, Dempsey noticed the Black man that Nikolai had badly beaten. His large nose was broken to where it touched his cheek. He had a black eye and was clutching his side as if a couple ribs were broken. It appeared as if one of his teeth was on the ground. They exited the diner and there was a presidential limo waiting for them. They all entered the limo and saw President Lyndon Johnson sitting to greet them.

"Hello, Mr. President…" Dempsey said.

"Hello, Tank. We appreciate you and your friend's service to this wonderful country. " Johnson said and nodded to Nikolai, Richtofen and Takeo.

"We need to fill you in on what has happened in preparation to these recent events. Do you remember the Gas Explosion at the Pentagon 5 Years ago? Well, it wasn't caused by a mistake of a worker. Everything you are about to see in classified." Johnson said. The large monitor at the front of the limo turned on and the windows turned completely dark.

"Geezuz, those douche bags with the cameras were giving me a headache." Nikolai said. The monitor flashed to a security camera in the Pentagon conference room. The year appeared to be F. Kennedy, Robert Macnamara, Richard Nixon and Fidel Castro were sitting at a table talking.

"For time, and the world, do not stand still. Change, is the law of life. And those who look only to the past, or the present, are certain to miss the future." Kennedy said. "I said, 'are certain to miss the future'!" He hit the table for emphasis. Castro laughed.

"Cono…I missed that." He said. McNamara stood up and walked toward Castro.

"Prime Minister Castro! This missile crisis was the last straw. We nearly blew ourselves up. Now we invited you here today-"

"In good faith." Kennedy interrupted.

"In good faith. To sort this thing out." McNamara finished.

"And why is he here? He lost!" Castro said while gesturing to Nixon.

"I always say, forgive your enemies, but remember their names." Kennedy said. "Now gentleman. It is time for us-" He was interrupted by a sharp banging at one of the doors.

"Sounds like someone breaking in!" Nixon said as he stood up.

"It's just the storm, Dick. Sit down." Kennedy said. Zombies then burst through the door, screaming.

"OH MY GOD!" Nixon screamed. McNamara got in front of Kennedy.

"It appears that the Pentagon has been breached." He said.

"Zombies. Men, our defensive capability should be, and has to be massive, to deter all forms of aggression." Kennedy said. He walked to a wall and slammed it. "Gentlemen, lock and load." They all grabbed various weapons.

"Viva la revolucion." Castro said.

"Any last words, Mr. President?" McNamara said as the undead approached.

"Yes, Jack. Any noble words of inspiration for our humble troops?" Nixon said.

" Do not pray for easy lives my friends, pray to be, stronger men." Kennedy said as they attacked. The tape ended.

"Damn…So Kennedy fought the things?" Dempsey asked.

"Yes…He and his allies barely made it out alive." Johnson said.

"So…do you think Maxis is in the United States?" Richtofen asked.

"No. He's back in Germany. Here's everything that has happened. Do you remember when Maxis released all the Zombies at Der Riese?" The younger Dempsey asked.

"I'm trying to forget." Dempsey said.

"Vell vhen ve thought he died in zhe explosion, he didn't. He modified his MDT and and traveled here, to your time. Ve followed him and vound up in a theater, vhere he had an ambush vaiting. Ve managed to fight our way out and contacted your government to varn zhem. It turns out zhat Maxis had been using his modified MDT for an estimated 5 years before ve arrived at zhe facility. Zhat is how he made zombies in zhe U.S. and sent zhem to attack zhe Pentagon." The younger Richtofen said.

"How could one man be doing all this?" Takeo asked.

"It's not just Maxis. It appears the Soviet Union had heavy involvement." Johnson said.

"You asshole." Nikolai said. Dempsey socked him in the stomach.

"Sorry, he says anything when he's this drunk." Dempsey said.

"We have a lead we are going to visit right now…" Johnson said.

"Who's that?' Dempsey asked.

"We believe he was brainwashed by the soviets to kill Kennedy because Kennedy knew too much about the creatures…his name is Alex Mason."

OH YEAH! Knocked you for a loop, didn't I? Haha. Yeah. I'm trying to connect the events of Black Ops to the story as much as I can. And for you guys that read this and liked it, PLEASE tell your COD loving friends. I AM AN ATTENTION WHORE. Peace OUT!
