Disclaimer: I only own Dave. All OCs belong to their owners. Alexander belongs to 13thsense. Sgt. MacIvor belongs to Reznov. Special thanks to sk for Skippet. I do not own the song 'Monster' by Skillet.
P.S. You might want to listen to it as you read. I think it fits the story.
What happened in the labs began to happen all over the base. All over the facility men were either dying or turning into monsters. Or in many cases, both.
Skipper, Rico, and Private were still stuck in the store room and were unaware of what was going on. That is until they turned on their radio.
"Dammit. This door isn't going to open from the inside. Private you get on the radio and call for help," Skipper said to Private who just nodded and turned his radio on.
Unfortunatly what they heard was not what they expected or wanted to hear.
"This is Robinson in Alpha Labs 2, requesting back up. Three men down. More enemies on the way. Need assitance," said a voice on the radio before Private turned the radio to another channel.
"HELP ME! HEEELLLLPPP ME! THERE'S SOMETHING COMING. OH GOD! IT HAS CLAWS! HELP PLEASE!" said another voice before the radio was turned again.
"This is Seargent MacIvor calling for all off duty personel to report to their stations. We have an unknown enemy in the facility and we are reaching FUBAR critical. Repeat, all off duty personel report to your stations. We have an unknown enemy loose in the facility. That is all."
Private dropped the radio as his hand began jittering.
"Skippa? What is happening?" Private asked.
Skipper shook his head and said, "I don't know Private. But we need to get out of here. NOW!"
(Bunk)
A middle aged man busy pulling his uniform on and gathering his gear. He had short brown hair and glassy blue eyes and a short beard stubble. He was so busy with his work that he didn't notice the young girl walking into his room.
"Dad? What is going on?" the girl asked.
The man turned to her and examined her. She had shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. Just like her mother. She was dressed in a short sleeved, black dress with black and white tights on. She also had black boots sitting by the side wall.
The man smiled and said, "There's an emergency sweetheart. I've got to go out and try to quell it. I promise that I won't take too long."
The girl began to shiver as the man walked over to her. He placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled her into a hug.
"Listen Skippet. You know that I won't let anything happen to you. Especially after what happened to your mother," the man said and tears began to come to his eyes.
The girl began to shed tears as she remembered that awful day as well.
A man in full gear came running into the bunk and said, "Come on Lieutenant Ryan. We have to go."
The Lieutenant nodded and he hugged his daughter one last time.
"You'll be okay. I promise," he said and then he walked out leaving her all alone.
Skippet rose from the bed and walked over to her fathers closet.
She grabbed her samuri sword and said, "Just in case you don't come back dad."
(Meanwhile)
The evil that came out of the portal was killing men all over the base. Men were getting possessed and killing other men and in many cases, were eating them as well. Unfortunatly, the mysterious white wisps weren't the only things to come out of the portal. Many other things followed as well and they too were slaughtering all the men.
The secret side of me, I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
In Alpha Lab 2, four men were remaining standing. They had managed to take down a number of zombies and were in the process of reloading when they heard another evil shriek. But it sounded different from the zombies. It sounded more beastly/
Then it came around the corner. A brown and furry monster with two red pupiless eyes and spikes coming out of it shoulders. It also had razor sharp claws.
The lead Marine aimed his gun at the beast and shot at it. The bullets hit the beast and it growled in pain. It looked at the man and raised it's hand above it's head. A bright orange sphere appeared above it's hand and it threw it at the man, engulfing him in flames.
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it
The other three men popped up and they too shot at the beast. With their combined efforts, they managed to kill the thing. They congratulated themselves. But that was short lived when the vents popped open and three more of these things dropped in front of them. The three men never had a chance as the claws ripped into them.It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?
Lieutenant Ryan and his men ran down one hallway and stood positioned in the center of the hall, aiming their rifles to the end of it. It wasn't long before a pink, bull-like beast appeared and charged at them. The men managed to kill it easily. But once a whole horde of them came up, the men were doomed.I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
In another hallway, a bunch of men were running away from something that they couldn't believe could exist. But exist it did. They stopped as the creature rounded the hallway corridor. It was floating in the air and it was red all over. It had two angly arms with claws and a mouth full of sharp teeth. It raised it's hands out in front of it and a red ball of energy appeared and it tossed it at the men. Unfortunatly one of the men was unlucky enough to get hit. I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
The cafeteria was just a bloodbath. All over were the bodies of dead men and a bunch of monsters as well. A lone survivor walked out of the pantry and walked towards the doors leading out. As soon as he opened the door, a female scientist popped out and sank her teeth into the mans arm. He managed to pull out his sidearm and got her in the head.My secret side I keep hid under lock and key
I keep it caged but I can't control it
'Cause if I let him out he'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?
In one of the lower labs, three scientists were gathering their papers for extraction. But their work ended when a skeleton wearing aromor walked into the lab. On it's shoulders were rocket launchers. It spotted the scientists they were gathered together, far too busy to notice the skeleton monster above them.
The skeleton took aim and fired a rocket at the trio.I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
A bunch of flaming skulls glided down a darked corridor, past the bodies of soldiers, scientists, and even some of their monster brethern. They easily thrust themselves through the bodies of various people. And they even shot fireballs out of their mouths. I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
Lieutenant Ryan looked at his remaining men. He had just barely survived the onslaught and was badly injured. He was breathing heavily and a realization hit him
"I have to get back to Skippet," he said and he pulled himself to his feet and began to walk away, but sadly he didn't get far.
Another brown furred creature dropped down from the vent and slashed at his throat. Finishing him off.It's hiding in the dark, its teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream
Maybe it's inside of me, stop this monster
The red floating beast was down to just one man left to kill. The man himself was down to just his sidearm. He aimed it at the beast and began firing wildly. The creature was already damaged enough that when the last bullet hit it, it went down.
The man sighed and turned to another hallway. But as soon as he rounded the corner, another floating monster grabbed the man and bit into his into him. Before long, the beast swallowed the man up. I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
Sgt. MacIvor walked out of the security office with an MP5 in his hands. He knew he couldn't stay in his office any longer. At the current time he was engulfed in shadows, but his night vision goggles helped him find his way around. He heard a couple of shrieks come from behind him. He sighed and turned around to face whatever was coming. I
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I've gotta lose control, here's something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster
Two men were running towards the security office with a big monster coming behind them. It was a giant brain-like entity on spiderlike robot body with a gattling gun attachment. Before they could go around the corner towards the security office, the beast started spinning the machine gun. A nanosecond later, gunfire sprayed out of the gun and both men went down in just a half a second.I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
(Infirmary)
A lone man sitting in the infirmary was just sitting and sterlizing his blades. Never know when someone will need to be worked on. He had black hair that was just under shoulder length and a soul patch on his chin. He was wearing a black sleeveless T-shirt that showed off his muscular arms and camo trousers. He also wore a black bandana on his head.
He had just finished when he heard someone banging at his door. He stood up and walked over to open the door. As soon as it opened just a few inches, the person outside burst past him. He was a snivling and whining mess. He was bleeding at the arm and was breathing heavily.
"What the hell? What happened to you man?" the medic asked.
The bleeding man looked at the medic and said, "Alexander? We need to get out of here."
"Why? What's happening?" Alexander asked.
The shaking man started talking incoherently, but a few understanable words got through.
"Those white shadows... those people... death... those things are everywhere... that poor woman, the one that bit me," the man managed to get out.
His whines started getting lower and began sounding more like growls.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Alexander asked.
The man spun around and stared at Alex. He growled and let out an Earth shattering screech. He reaered back and began charging towards Alexander. Alexander merely jumped out of the way and kicked the zomibes back, causing to fall over. When the craeture hit the ground, Alex grabbed the floor lamp in the corner and began slamming it into the creatures head. After just a few hits, the creature lay still.
Alexander nodded at his work and decided to risk sticking his head out of the infirmary. He looked out and saw a couple of corpses lying outside. His room was well insulated, so he was unable to hear anything. But he knew that whatever was going on, he had to leave the infimary. He closed the door and reached under his desk. He pulled out a camo duffle bag and began filling it while his medical suplies. Including syringes, swab, various drugs, bandages, and rubbing alcohol.
After filling his bag, he went over to another locker and pulled out a small metal box. Written on the top was the word Mercy. He opened the box and revealed a large revolver. It was his own custom design. He grabbed his holster and stuck the gun in it. He also grabbed his kukri knife from the locker and a box of deer slugs. He examined his knife which had the words "Nascentes morimur" written on it.
Armed and ready, Alexander walked out of the infirmary and towards the elevator hall.
"Time to kick some ass," Alexander said to himself.
(Elevator)
The crew inside the elevator slowly and carefully pryed the doors open and propped them open with some pliers from Sal's back pack. Slowly but carefully, the people in the elevator pulled themselves out. Dave was first, followed by Amber. One by one, they pulled each other out and examined the hallway. Not much here but some busted or flickering lights.
"What the? What happened here?" Sal asked.
Dave shook his head and said, "No idea. But I don't like this."
Amber nodded in agreement and said, "Right. I don't either."
Dave unholstered his sidearm and began walking down the hall.
"Dave? Why do you have your sidearm on you? You know you're not allowed to take them out of the facility," Flora scolded.
Dave looked around a corner, but pulled back after taking just a glance.
"We're not going that way. Turn around and go the other way," Dave said as he ran back towards them.
A few seconds later, a couple of the pink bull like beasts came around the corner and charged for the group. They turned around and began running as well. Dave was at the back of the group and began firing at the beasts. He was quite good with his handgun. He took out the eyes of one of the beasts and into the center of it's head. The beast fell to the floor and died. But there were still several more coming towards him. Instead of continuing the fight, Dave just turned and ran after the others. With the beasts still charging after.
(Store room)
The trio continued trying to pry open the store room door. But the door wouldn't budge.
"Blast. This door isn't going to open. We need to find a different way out of here," Skipper said.
"But how Skippa? There aren't any vents in here and the drain in the floor is much too small to fit through," Private said.
They all looked at Rico who just shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know."
Skipper groaned and he began banging on the door wildly.
"SOMEBODY! GET US OUT OF HERE!" Skipper yelled.
As soon as Skipper had yelled, the door opened up and he tumbled out of the store room. Standing before them was Kowalski who was covered in blood.
"Kowalski? What happened to you man? How bad are you bleeding?" Skipper demanded.
Kowalski held up his hand and said, "Rest assured Skipper. it's not my blood."
Private gasped and Skipper glared at Kowalski.
"Oh really? That can only mean you killed someone. Who was it?" Skipper demanded.
Kowalski sighed and said, "That's just it Skipper. They were already dead when I killed them. Everyone is dead."
Private gasped once more and asked, "What? What is happening?"
Kowalski groaned loudly and said, "It's a long explaination, but we need to get out of here first."
Skipper nodded and then the four began running down the corridor towards the bunk area.
"All right, so here's what happened," Kowalski began as they approached the bunks.
And that ends chapter 4.
