TsukiBooks: Hello! T
his is Chapter 8, and things are really kicking off now! Everything kind of happens all at once in this and very quickly, but once we get into it things will be slower paced (not boringly slow but you know what I mean), I hope you enjoy! Please Review! And please keep reading! :D
Richtofenkng95: Hi guys and girls :D just to let you know, when you see this sign (*) the song Deadline from the Modern Warfare 2 soundtrack is meant to be played at this part onwards. So if you want to get the best out of this chapter look out for the sign and play the soundtrack :D
Faces in the Clouds.
They hadn't been driving on the A120 for long when they finally arrived at Stansted airport. As they drove towards the car park they were met by a string of cars trying to get in and out of the airport.
''Everyone pull up on the left hand side'' Price told the convoy. They all pulled up and everyone got off their respected vehicle and gathered round Price's car, where the old Captain had climbed on top of the car.
''Alright everyone, as there are too many cars here to move any further we'll walk the rest of the way. Just follow my lead and we'll be able to get a plane without any trouble.'' Price told them the plan.
They walked towards the doors to the terminal entrance.
''Have you been to British airports before?'' Rosie quipped, dryly.
When they walked through the door they saw that the airport terminal was packed with people, horrified looks on their faces as they watched the American news, which showed pictures of the assault of London.
''Stick close everyone, let's not get caught up in this lot.'' Dempsey noted. They pushed their way past a crowd of people and moved toward the check-in desks. They attempted to walked straight through but were stopped by an nervous looking policeman.
''Uh I'm sorry sir but no one is allowed in the airport at this time'' the policeman told them. ''Also can I ask why you are all so heavily armed? Are you with Samantha's forces?'' he asked noticing the weapons they had. The policeman placed a hand on the pistol that was in a holster on his leg.
''Easy son, we've been ordered by the military to protect this airport from Samantha's forces.'' Price lied, reassuring the policeman and showing him his SAS I.D card.
The policeman loosened his grip on his pistol.
''Is this your unit?'' he asked Price, looking behind the Captain and noticing the various ages and nationalities in the group.
''We believe in a multi-ethnic unit that takes equality and diversity very seriously.'' Price told the Police officer, seeing the confused look that he was giving.
''What's with the kids?'' the officer asked.
''I lost my Mummy! Where is she!?'' Rosie feigned crying.
''Lost children.'' Price explained.
''And the dog?'' the policeman asked.
''Drug's sniffer dog'' Price shrugged.
Nikolai decided to just then take out a bottle of his vodka and take a swig of it.
''Hey is that guy drinking vodka?'' the policeman asked, looking shocked at the Russian's antics.
''Uh he was on weeks leave and was out drinking with his friends when all this started, which is why he's pissed and the reason we haven't taken that bottle away from him is because his family were in London when the girl attacked... Tough times and all.'' Price quickly explained, with a grave expression on his face.
''But-...'' the officer began again.
''Listen son'' Price interrupted; ''we've been sent here to protect the airport, not to be bombarded with constant questions. Now can we please do our job?''
''Uh yes sir, sorry for wasting your time'' the policeman quickly said.
''Thank you'' Price nodded, as he and the others made their way towards the departure lounge.
''Do you think he bought it?'' Nikolai whispered loudly.
Price gave a livid look at the drunken Russian.
''Shut it! And put that vodka away'' the Captain hissed.
They made their way into the departure lounge. There were a lot of people in here as well.
''Look there's a sign that says 'To gates 1-19'.'' Lara pointed out.
''Nice spotting Lara'' Dunn smiled.
They pushed their way over to the gate but just before they were about go down the tunnel which allowed them to board the plane, they were stopped by the policeman they had met earlier again.
''Sir you and some of your unit look awfully familiar, and I didn't quite catch your names'' the policeman told them.
Price sighed; ''My name is Captain John Price''
The policeman went wide-eyed. But before he could say anything a gunshot was heard and a bullet whizzed into the back of his shoulder.
People began screaming and running panic stricken.
''Get him behind the counter!'' Price shouted to Dimitri, pointing at the wounded policeman, as he tried to see where the gunshot had come from over the panicking people.
''Over there!'' Daniel shouted, pointing at a large broken window, where a Nazi sniper was climbing through along with a number of Russian Ultranationalists.
(*) ''They're here!'' Price shouted, as Soap aimed his M4A1 at the sniper and fired. The Sniper fell down, dead, with a bullet in his head.
''Everyone get into the plane!'' Alex Mason shouted, as bullets hit the wall near them from where Samantha's Russians tried to shoot them.
They all ran through the gate, down the tunnel and into the plane. It was a single story plane that had four engines, two on each side of the wings.
''Nikolai get this thing in the air!'' Price ordered the Russian pilot.
''I need co-pilot, does anyone else know how to fly a plane?'' Nikolai asked.
''I do'' Bowman stepped forward.
''Good come with me'' Nikolai told him as the two made their way to the head of the plane as the majority of the group sat themselves down, while Price, Alex and David Mason, Dempsey and Soap set about removing the tunnel from the plane. Just then some Ultranationalists walked round the corner of the tunnel.
''Contact!'' Dempsey shouted as he and the other four men fired at the Russians. They dispatched them easily.
''Toss a frag down there and blow the tunnel away'' Soap advised.
David threw a grenade down the tunnel. A few seconds later and an explosion was heard followed by the screams of Ultranationalists. The explosion also caused the tunnel to tear from the plane leaving the space where the doors can be closed.
''Uh Price, we have trouble'' Nikolai told the Captain.
''Tell me something I don't know Nikolai!'' Price snapped as he, Evan, Dempsey and Richtofen walked over to the head of the plane.
''No I mean we have trouble on the runway!'' Nikolai informed as he and Bowman stared out towards the runway. The four of them joined the two pilots and looked out of the wind screen of the plane.
Out on the far end of the runway a hoard of zombies were sprinting towards the plane at full speed.
''Shit!'' Evan swore.
''Nikolai start the bloody plane and get this bird in the air!'' Price told the Russian pilot; ''American, your with me!'' Price looked at Dempsey.
The two soldiers positioned themselves so that they could just see outside without falling out of the plane.
''Ready!'' Price shouted.
''Aim!'' Dempsey shouted back.
''Fire!'' The pair of them opened fire at the speeding zombies down the runway, killing many.
''Need to reload!'' Dempsey told Price as he began to reload his LAMENTATION.
''Me too, Soap swap with me!'' Price told the Scotsman as he reloaded his SCAR-L.
''Tak you swap with me too'' Dempsey told the Japanese soldier.
Takeo pulled his AK74FU2 from his back and began picking targets outside the plane.
''I'm going to start the plane now!'' Nikolai shouted from the cockpit. They all heard the engines kick into life as the Russian pilot began starting up the aircraft.
''The undead have reached the plane!'' Takeo shouted as he and Soap shot the zombies that had reached the plane.
Dempsey and Price began helping the other two fight back the zombies that were attempting to climb up the wheels of the plane.
''Nikolai get this bird in the air!'' Soap shouted.
''Alright, alright!'' Nikolai shouted as he and Bowman pushed various controls.
The plane began to move forward, crushing any zombies that were in front or on the wheels. Soap, Dempsey, Takeo and Price finished off any zombies that tried to climb up the plane.
''Shut the doors!'' Dempsey yelled over the noise of the plane.
Takeo and Soap pulled the doors shut and made sure they were securely locked.
''Shit! We're taking fire here!'' Bowman shouted.
Evan looked out of the cockpit window and saw Samantha's soldiers firing at the plane.
''Keep going! Run them over if you have to!'' Evan told the pilots.
They saw the enemy soldiers run out of the way from the speeding plane.
''Here we go!'' Bowman grunted as the nose of the plane lifted up from the ground. Soon the whole plane lifted off from the ground.
They were up in the air.
Nikolai and Bowman sighed with relief as everyone cheered.
''Well done lads'' Price commended the two pilots; ''Nikolai how much fuel do we have?'' he asked the Russian loyalist.
''Um... Not enough to take us to America'' Nikolai grimaced.
''How far can we go?'' Evan asked.
''We have enough fuel to take us to Russia'' Nikolai informed.
''It'll have to do'' Evan told Price, who nodded. They walked into the seating area of the plane.
''Alright everyone, there's been a change of plan'' Price announced; ''This plane doesn't have enough fuel to take us to U.S, so we are going to Russia instead''
Most of the people in the plane understood the change.
After about ten minutes of flying they were up in the air and on their way to Russia.
Evan, Rosie, Lara and Daniel were talking with Price, Richtofen, Dempsey, Mason and Woods.
''Captain Price, a storm is brewing'' Nikolai called to the British Captain.
''You know how to deal with storms Nikolai'' Price replied casually.
''No Price, this is no ordinary storm. You may want to come see this'' Nikolai insisted.
Price, Richtofen, Dempsey and Evan walked over to the cockpit.
''Look my friends and tell me if that is an 'ordinary' storm'' Nikolai pointed towards a massive wall of black clouds that had surrounded the plane, purple lighting could be seen within the clouds.
''Right...'' Price said slowly
''Zhis is Samantha's doing, be careful'' Richtofen warned.
Suddenly a face formed in the clouds.
''What the?'' Evan asked looking shocked at the face.
They soon recognised who the face was.
''It's Samantha'' Richtofen hissed. The face of Samantha grinned wickedly.
''DON'T THINK YOU UND YOUR FRIENDS CAN ESCAPE ME EDWARD HA HA HA!'' Samantha shrieked in her demonic voice, the face's mouth opened up and moved slowly towards the plane.
''Nein Samantha!'' Richtofen cried as the face moved closer and closer.
''Oh hell no!'' Bowman shouted in horror.
''Nikolai hard left, hard left!'' Price shouted, slamming a hand on the Russian's and pushing the controls to the left. The plane jerked to the left causing a couple of cries to come from inside the planed.
The face of Samantha crunched down on the right wing of the plane.
''Fuck! We've lost one of the right wing engines!'' Nikolai panicked as he and Bowman slammed various controls.
''C'mon you son of a bitch!'' Bowman grunted as he helped Nikolai stabilise the plane.
The clouds dispersed, leaving behind clear skies.
''Alright, we're stabilised'' Bowman sighed.
''We have a fuel leak though'' Nikolai informed.
''How bad is it?'' Evan asked.
''We won't have enough fuel to reach Russia'' Nikolai answered.
''How far can we get?'' Price asked.
''We'd be lucky to if we managed to get over France'' Nikolai told them.
''It's a lot more closer to home than we ought to be but I guess it'll have to do'' Price muttered.
''How long will it take to get to France?'' Evan asked.
''An hour or so, maybe less'' Bowman answered.
Price sighed as he, Evan and Richtofen walked back into their seats.
''Sorry about the rough ride everyone'' Evan apologised to the others in the plane.
''We also have a bit of bad news'' Price announced; ''Due to the damage that Sam did to the plane we have been forced to land somewhere in France, we'll then make our way to Russia from there''
''It may take us an hour to get to France'' Evan added.
Evan sat down next to Lara, with Daniel and Rosie in the seats behind him, while Price sat in the opposite row to them while Dempsey grabbed Richtofen and slammed him into a seat next to him.
''Don't think I'm letting you out of my sight for a second German!'' Dempsey growled at the Nazi.
''Oh Dempsey are you going to be like zhis for ze whole trip?'' Richtofen groaned.
''Be thankful you fascist!'' Reznov called over to the crazed Doctor; ''At least you still have your wretched life!''
''Richtofen, how did Samantha manage to do that with the clouds?'' Lara asked gently.
The green eyed German flinched at the kindness in Lara's voice as if it was a whole new thing to him.
''I do not know, but I guess that her powers have increased somehow since coming to zhis world'' he answered the girl's question.
''Rosie what's the news saying?'' Daniel asked his younger sister.
''Um hang on...'' Rosie told him slowly as she searched for the news; ''Here we go, right so far Sam's forces have taken over most of Essex, but not all of it. I hope Mum and Dad are ok... Um some of her forces have begun marching into Wales but so far that's it''
Daniel sighed and put his head in his hands; ''To think it started out a normal day... Then the world changed in an instant. All because of a little girl...'' he thought aloud.
''Who comes up with this shit?'' Dempsey spat.
As they flew the people on the plane began talking amongst themselves and learning more of each other.
''So your studying to become a nurse?'' Dempsey asked Lara.
''Yes, I've wanted to help people for a long time?'' Lara explained.
''I knew a couple of nurses'' Dempsey chuckled; ''We got to know each other really well, if you know what I mean.''
''So I have another medical professional to vork vith... How quaint!'' Richtofen said sarcastically.
''Have we gotten off on the wrong foot or something Richtofen?'' Lara asked looking confused.
''Nein, it's just you're too... Nice'' Richtofen explained.
''Nice?'' Lara laughed incredulously.
''Ja you have a gentle voice... It's SICKENING!'' Richtofen shouted this last.
''Ok well I'm sorry that my voice is so 'SICKENING' to you.'' Lara laughed, shouting the word 'sickening'.
''Are you mocking me?'' Richtofen asked, sounding annoyed.
Lara winked at the mad Doctor.
''Hey guys.'' Polonsky called as he, Miller and Dimitri walked in from the back of the plane.
''What is it Polonsky?'' Sullivan asked.
''Well we were just exploring around the back of the plane and we found this weird red machine and this strange box with glowing question marks on it'' Polonsky told them.
At this Evan and Dempsey snapped a look at each other, wide grins on their faces.
The two of them along with Price, Rosie, Daniel, Lara, Richtofen, Takeo and Nikolai walked over to the back of the plane.
They saw in the back was a red vending machine, that had a sign which read 'Juggernog', and a rectangular box with glowing question marks that matched the description that Polonsky had given them. A song started to play from the glowing machine.
'When you need some help to get by, something to make you feel strong. Reach for Juggernog tonight, sugar seduction delight! When you need to feel big and strong: Reach for Juggernog tonight!'
''What the hell is that thing?'' Price asked looking at the red vending machine.
Dempsey kicked the Juggernog machine. A red bottle fell out of the machine. Dempsey picked it up, popped the cap with his teeth and held it towards Price.
''Try it and find out for yourself old man'' the marine grinned.
Price took the bottle from the American and took a swig from it.
''Mmm that's pretty good'' Price smiled; ''kinda tastes like eggnog, what does it do?''
''Makes you more resistant to damage'' Richtofen told him.
''Considering that most of us are veterans of war and are used to injury, I think that the children should drink the perk-a-cola before the rest of us do'' Takeo mused.
''Great thinking Tak'' Dempsey slapped the samurai warrior on the back. Rosie walked up to the glowing red vending machine first.
''What do I do to get the drink out?'' She asked the four zombie slayers.
''Just do what I did and give the machine a knock'' Dempsey explained to her.
''Hmm I guess you only needed to pay in game'' Evan thought aloud, as Rosie kicked the machine causing another red bottle to fall out. However the teenage girl couldn't pop the sealed cap.
''Hang on Rosie'' Evan told his sister as he rummaged through his bag; ''Will this help?'' he asked pulling out his pen knife.
Rosie smiled as she took the pen knife and pulled out the bottle opener tool on it and popped the cap. She took a swig from the bottle.
''Wow that's good stuff'' she said, taking another swig.
Daniel went next. He shook the machine. Like Dempsey he popped the cap with his teeth and drunk the contents.
''Damn that stuff is nasty!'' he choked almost spitting the drink out; ''How can you guys say that's nice!?''
''Seriously? You don't like that?'' Nikolai asked.
''Nah its sickly'' Daniel grimaced. They all laughed.
Lara stepped up to machine next. she saw a button on the machine and lightly pressed it.
The perk-a-cola fell out at the bottom, and a sign popped up on the machine saying 'Thank you'.
''Did you know all you had to do was press that button to get a drink?'' She asked smiling as she picked up her drink.
''Yeah but that way is boring'' Dempsey grumbled, as Lara drank the Juggernog cola.
''Not bad... I've had better drinks though'' she commented.
Evan pressed the button too. As soon as he picked up his perk however the machine began to shake and hover in the air.
''DON'T THINK I'LL MAKE THIS EASY FOR YOU!'' Samantha screamed; ''HA HA HA BYE BYE''
At this last the Juggernog machine disappeared in a flash of lightning.
''Nein! She must have done zhat to prevent all of us gaining ze perk'' Richtofen groaned.
Evan sighed and opened the perk with his bottle opener. He quickly grinned at how much he enjoyed the flavour.
''That is really good'' he grinned.
''Right well now that the perk machine is gone let's see about this box'' Price noted turning to look at the odd box with question marks on it.
''Daniel would you like to do the honours?'' Dempsey asked the teen.
Daniel smiled and walked over to the box. As soon as he flipped the lid up a glow emitted from inside the box. As a cheery jingle played various weapons rotated inside the glow. The jingle finally slowed down as did the weapons. The weapons finally slowed down on an LMG.
''Cool STONER63'' Daniel grinned as he took the machine gun from the box.
''Ok just what the hell is that box anyway?'' Price asked, looking wide eyed, shocked at what he had just seen.
''It is called a mystery box'' Richtofen started to explain.
''You open it up and weapons appear out of it like magic'' Nikolai slurred, finishing Richtofen off.
''Right...'' Price said slowly.
''Right I think it best that those who don't have weapons use this first'' Dempsey noted; ''Tak do you mind going and see who doesn't have a weapon?''
The Japanese soldier nodded and walked back out to the fuselage.
Dempsey kicked the mystery box open. For a second time the jingle played as the weapons rotated, finally slowing down on a pair of duel FIVE SEVENS.
The American took the two pistols out of the box and held them to Rosie.
The teenage girl raised her eyebrow sceptically; ''You really expect me to use a gun?'' She asked looking bemused.
''Your gonna need these to protect yourself sweet cheeks'' Dempsey told her.
''Thanks, but no thanks. I think I'll stick with my laptops and devices'' Rosie declined pushing the pistols away from her.
''Just take the pistols!'' Dempsey snapped, an angry look on his face; ''It would make feel easier to know that you kids had some sort of defence, other than us'' he explained, face softening.
Rosie saw the concern in the marine's face and hesitantly took the pistols from him.
''Thank you'' Dempsey sighed in relief.
Lara patted Rosie on the shoulder and span for a weapon for self.
The weapons finally slowed to a stop on a pair of knives.
''What are these?'' The red haired girl asked looking confused.
''BALLISTIC KNIVES, close combat sweetness'' Dempsey slapped Lara on the back nearly knocking her over.
''Uh cool I prefer a broad sword myself or archery much longer range that way'' Lara swivelled the knives in her hands.
''Oh these can be fired long range too'' Evan told her.
''You see the red button on the side of one of the knives, you press it and it fires one of the knives at your target''
''Cool'' Lara smiled.
Just then Takeo walked in with Admiral Briggs and Chloe Lynch.
''These two people are in need of firearms'' the Japanese samurai informed.
''Did you two wanna go next?'' Evan asked Briggs and Chloe.
''Next for what exactly?'' Briggs asked impatiently.
''Just lift up lid of box'' Nikolai explained.
Briggs stepped up to the box and lifted the lid. A shocked look graced his and Chloe's face as the box played its jingle and shuffled through its weapons, finally slowing down on a shotgun.
''AA-12 fully automatic shotgun, not bad'' Price commented as the Admiral nervously took the shotgun.
Chloe smirked and kicked the lid of the box open.
The weapons slowed to a stop on a small SMG.
''CHICOM CQB three burst sub machine gun, 40 rounds per mag with a further 120 on back up, not bad, not bad.'' Evan mused.
Chloe and Briggs ambled their way back out into the fuselage.
''Right Evan it's your turn'' Price told the teen. Evan eagerly opened the mystery box. He watched excitedly as the weapons shifted from one to the other. However as the jingle slowed to a stop a teddy bear appeared in the box followed by Samantha's child like laughter.
The box floated in the air; ''HA HA HA BYE BYE!'' Sam mocked as the box disappeared in a flash of lighting like the Juggernog machine.
''Damn'' Evan cursed in disappointment.
''Do not fret child, ve vill find ze box again'' Richtofen told the blue eyed teenager.
''I know, it just sucks when you get the teddy bear'' Evan sighed.
''Kid I'll tell you what'' Dempsey said as he pulled out his COLT M1911 pistol; ''I'm going to give you my trusty M1911. Its been with me since world war 1 so I want you to take care of it'' the Marine handed Evan the pistol.
''Thanks Dempsey'' Evan smiled; ''You know I've always wanted one of these''
As they walked back out into the fuselage, they felt the plane shudder violently.
''Nikolai what was that?'' Daniel called down to the cockpit.
''Fuel is below ten... No, five percent! We'll be out any minute!'' Nikolai called back.
''How close are we to France?'' Price asked as they ran up to the cockpit.
''No far, but not close either. It's touch and go as to weather we'll hit land or sea at the moment'' Bowman explained.
''We are currently loosing altitude'' Nikolai added.
''Shit'' Price cursed under his breath, he then turned to the fuselage; ''You might want to buckle up people this may get rough!'' he called.
''Nikolai is that what I think it is?'' Bowman asked the Russian pilot as he spotted a mass of land in front of them.
''Yes, the border of France, however we are very low so we are gambling to see if we will make it'' Nikolai said nervously.
A few bangs were heard and the plane went as silent as the grave.
''Aww shit! The engines have just died on us!'' Bowman told them.
''Our altitude is getting lower and lower!'' Nikolai cried, as the plane silently glided towards the border.
''Come on, come on!'' Bowman grunted; ''Just a little closer and we'll have a dry landing''
Suddenly a commotion was heard in the back of the plane. They all turned (apart from Nikolai and Bowman) and saw a group of zombies sprinting out of the back of the plane.
''Fuck, they're on the plane!'' Daniel shouted as he aimed his LMG at the group.
"How'd they get on!?" cried Sarah.
Price raised his DESERT EAGLE at the undead creatures.
Before either of them could fire the plane suddenly jolted and shook violently sending Price, and Daniel, along with the zombies flying into the ceiling.
Daniel landed back on the plane floor out cold.
Price too landed on the floor, he looked up, vision blurred, he could hear shouting and gun shots. His vision finally blacked out as he heard Nikolai shout; ''Everyone get out of the plane now!''
Richtofenking 95: Oh no the plane has crash landed :o but where? The ocean or the land? And what about the zombies will they still be running riot in the plane? Will Price and Daniel be ok? Leave your comments below :D
