Nick was awoken that next morning by Ellis, he hadn't seen anymore of the sickening visions he had previously so this sleep was much more realxing and restful. He yawned as he looked up to the grinning country boy. "Rise and shine sleeping beauty." he chuckled softly. Nick groaned and stood up, rubbing his head, his brunette locks still splayed wildly from the previous night of action. Ellis sent Nick a discreet wink and grinned as he began reloading his weapon and placing more ammunition into his back pack.
"Ya'll ready to head out?" Rochelle asked, Ellis beamed a smile.
"Let's get this shit over with..." Nick grumbled.
The small group began moving out towards the coaster, Elis grinning once he spotted the coaster. "Man this is one of the fastest coasters around!" he laughed and once they looked around a bit, the group gasthered.
"So... We found a way out but it's not gonna be easy." Coach said.
"How so?" Nick asked.
"We have to start the coaster and once that emergency gate opens we have to follow the coaster, but it'll summon a bunch of zombies... Is it worth it?" Rochelle questioned.
"Well... I can run faster the ya'll... I think I'll be able to stop the coaster quick 'nuff." Ellis said and nodded.
"You sure? You'll be alone ya know..." Nick murmured, a bit of worry lingering in his tone.
"Come on Nick... I killed a witch with m' shotgun in one shot... I think I can do it." Ellis chuckled.
"Well... Alright I'll try to stick close behind you and cover you... But I might lose ya." Nick said and nodded.
"I'll throw a pipe bomb when things get nasty." Rochelle said.
"Then everyone's ready?" Coach asked and everyone silently nodded. "Alright, Ellis when that gate opens, run like hell." Coach stated.
Coach then slammed his palm down onto the lever the coaster raced past the group. Ellis watched as the ride zoomed past them and the yellow gate opened. Ellis then flew out, sprinting and following the tracks as he watcted the roller coaster disappeared in front of him. As he heard the roar of the horde he began booking it quicker to shut off the obnoxiously loud carnival ride, and close behind him he heard a hunter... He knew he was probably too far ahead for the others to get to him if he were to be pounced. He panted a bit, the bastard was practically on his heels and Ellis was too frightened to look back. Seeing the dock there where the control panel sat, Ellis brought up his shot gun and pulling the trigger, the spray of led on the machine shutting up the dinner bell for the undead. Ellis then sighed in partial relief knowing the endless horde would stop until he heard the scream of the Hunter behind him, he stiffened and braced for the impact though hearing the familiar sound of the boom of the guns behind him, he saw the Hunters body fall to a lifeless heap beside him. Ellis panted slightly, now utterly relieved, he looked behind him to see Nick holding a rifle. He chuckled and ran a hand through his greasy brunette hair.
"Nick ya son-uv-a bitch..." Ellis chuckled and Nick raced over to him, hugging the young man tightly in his hold, Ellis felt a bit stunned, Nick never embraced him so freely. "Ya'll 'right Nick?" he asked as he returned the hug.
"Yeah... Yeah I'm fine..." Nick murmured against the hick's neck, he then leaned away a bit before pressing his lips to the others, Ellis quickly flushed until Nick pulled away.
"Where's Rochelle and Coach?" Ellis asked.
"They're coming..." Nick replied and nodded as he looked back, seeing the two people coming up.
"Ellis you did it!" Rochelle cheered and laughed.
"Good job Ellis man." Coach said and Ellis beamed.
"It was nothin'." he chuckled softly.
The four travelled up to the safe room, signing in relief when it was over. "Hey guys I have an idea." Ellis said as he eyed a 'Midnight Riders' poster that was stapled to the wall. The others looked up, it was probably s dumb and airheaded idea but Ellie would voice it anyway. "Why don't we go t' the stage and light off all them fireworks they set off durin' shows? I bet they still have some stocked up since they were still doin' shows with things went to shit... May as well check right?" he asked. "We can signal the chopper." He said and nodded, the others looked to one another.
"You know Ellis... That might be the smartest thing you've ever said." Coach chuckled and patted Ellis' back.
"I'm not dumb..." Ellis said with a small pout and Nick chuckled as well, slapping Ellis' back though restricted the power enough as not to hurt the other male, Ellis smiled at Nick and nodded.
"Then it's settled, we'll try and signal the chopper from the stage of the Midnight Riders." Rochelle stated and nodded.
Without sleeping, they all used their med kits and walked out to the stage where the concerts would be held. Ellis and Coach gawked at the sight while Rochelle and Nick searched for the fireworks Ellis talked about. Ellis eventually having untranced, looked around as well. "Let's turn on the lights! I think there's some fireworks on stage." Ellis called to the others as he found some boxed explosions. He smirked before he spread them out around the stage, incase they needed extra protection. Everyone reloaded their clips and got extra medical kits.
"Ya'll ready? This is gonna make a hellova lot of noise..." Ellis said, looking up to Coach up at the top of the grand stands where the lights were controlled, Ellis flashed his thumb at the other and the lights brightened and Ellis began the music.
The music blasted through the speakers and rumbled through the stage, the horde beginning and Ellis stepped on the button at the micro phone, shooting fireworks into the air along the stage, preventing any of the infected from getting onto the stage. Bullets flew in all sorts of directions, The speciel infected making it hard to focus on the hoard... Bastards. Ellis unwravelled Nick from a smokers tongue after the undead cougher had exploded... Though their adreneline pumped, everyone went pale.
"TANK!"
