"Ok, we should start moving." Francis said as he looked out through the metal bars of the safe house door. He took off the bar securing the door and pushed it open. He quickly killed the Infected around the door and then signaled out the group. Cautiously, the quartet moved through the hallway and up the stairs. Bill was the first into the second floor hallway and was pounced immediately. The Hunter tore at Bill's chest while the other Survivors regained balance. Zoey shot the Hunter off Bill and helped him up. She guarded Bill while he healed and watched Louis and Francis clear the rest of the floor. Zoey and Bill rejoined the others at the bottom of the flight of stairs leading up. "Is that…a Witch?" Francis asked nervously. He shuddered when he remembered his first encounter with a Witch. "Yeah. Ok, here's the plan. I'll shoot the Witch and start running down the stairs again. Keep shooting at her and hope she won't reach me." Zoey said, climbing the stairs quietly while they men followed her. She peeked out the door and aimed with the scope of her rifle at the Witch's head.
The rifle bullet caught the Witch in the head and forced her backwards before she shrieked and ran towards Zoey. Running down the stairs backwards as fast as she could, she continued shooting the Witch. Louis and Bill shot at the Witch, while Francis just watched. "Francis!" Zoey cried out as the Witch knocked her down to the ground. He snapped out of his fear and shot at the Witch's once, killing her. "Zoey, I'm sor-" Zoey cut him off when she got back to her feet. "Whatever. Let's just keep moving." She wrapped her cuts in bandages and followed Bill through the third hallway. When they got to the end of the hall, they saw an elevator. "Finally!" Louis said excitedly, running to go press the button. "Louis! Wait!" Zoey yelled, but it was too late. The elevator squeaked loudly and Louis' grin fell off his face. "Damn it!" The group grabbed the ammo from the hospital bed in the corner and started fighting off the oncoming horde. Bill threw a pipe bomb into the crowd, giving time for the Survivors to grab more ammo before the elevator came. The bomb exploded just as the elevator doors opened, sending the Survivors inside from the explosion. The doors closed and Francis pressed the button for the 32nd floor. The ride was tense and long, but eventually the doors opened. A very skilled Smoker grabbed Louis while a very skilled Boomer threw up on the others. Zoey ran through the horde punching, trying to save Louis. She broke him free of the Smoker's tongue and then shot it. It exploded into a puff of smoke, leaving Zoey choking. Louis helped Bill and Francis kill the rest of the Infected and then killed the Boomer.
Halfway through the unfinished 32nd floor, the floor started to shake. "Tank!" Bill shouted. The Survivors split up and started shooting at the Tank. Bill was punched almost off the building, but grabbed onto the ledge quickly. While the rest of the Survivors killed the Tank, Bill tried to pull himself up. "Help!" He yelled after the Tank died. One hand slipped off the ledge and he gasped. Zoey quickly ran over and helped him up, smiling. "You're fine. I got you." Once Bill got back up, the group made it to the safe house easily. They set out the sleeping bags from the corner and lay down, resting before their big day.
Next Day
"Finally! A second pistol!" Zoey said, picking it up. She held the guns in her hand and smiled. "I could definitely get used to this." The group restocked on ammo and health packs, and even grabbed Molotovs and Pipe Bombs. They took off the bar and kicked the door open. "No more funny business." Bill said, directing it towards Francis. They followed the sounds of the radio and found themselves on the roof. "Guess we'll be catching a ride out of here." Louis said, walking across a board to the Heli-pad. The Survivors quickly made their way to the room with the radio and were glad to see another 4 health packs and more ammo. "Woah! That's a big ass machine gun!" Louis exclaimed when he went upstairs. Making a silent agreement, the group decided the roof would be their defense point. Bill ran down the stairs quickly and radioed the pilot of the helicopter, telling him that they were alive and ready.
The sound of the helicopter as it came closer sparked the Infected's interests and soon they began to attack. Within seconds, a third off the rooftop has filled with Infected. Francis detached from the turret gun and threw his pipe bomb down into the crowd. Suddenly, a Tank climbed onto the roof and began running towards the Survivors. Luckily, the pipe bomb exploded right next to the Tank, sending him stumbling off the roof. No more Infected came and Zoey was the first to spot the helicopter. They made a dash towards it, Zoey throwing her pipe bomb to distract the Infected that started racing towards them. When the last Survivor got on the helicopter, they slammed the door shut and flew off, thinking they had won. Unfortunately, they had no clue as to what was going to happen next. But that is another story.
Ok! How'd you like the ending? It sucks, I know. But I'm going to make a sequel to this story, where the Survivor's helicopter crashes and leaves them stranded on a beach. On the other side of the beach, there is a lighthouse, which will signal their rescue. Basically, I'm turning the "Last Stand" map into a full campaign instead of just the light house.
