Now began the final battle, between Durak and Appak. The difference in height and weight difference between Appak and Durak was massive, Appak knew he couldn't handle Durak like the other tanks since Durak was far larger than the other tanks. The room was large, like a warehouse except only one door. The lights hung down from the ceiling and pipes ran across the ceiling which must of held all the wiring inside of them.
Durak and Appak stood under across from each other, the witches which Durak had chained to the floor where his thrown was located were moved away to the wall. Appak scanned the room, trying to find a way to beat Durak since going straight at him wouldn't work. While Appak scanned the room he had a song playing through his head, a song he remembered to have brought him joy before the sickness, the song was Eye of the Tiger.
Appak had found what he was going to do and crouched down to gain a bit of momentum for the jump but before his feet could leave the ground Durak's fist connected connected with his chest, this sent Appak flying backwards with a massive pain in over half of his chest which caused breathing to become painful. Once he landed with a thud he managed to get up to his knee. "Definitely a few ribs broken."
Appak forced himself to get up, luckily he got up just in time to move out of the way of Durak's next attack. Appak ran around Durak then leaped up, high up to the ceiling and grabbed hold of one of the light fixtures. Appak looked down at Durak, even though he was in massive pain he managed to crack a smile then say. "What's wrong stupid can't keep up? A smart tank is equally matched to a dumb boomer but I guess you already knew that huh."
These comments outraged Durak which caused him to charge over to Appak. Appak smiled as he pulled the fixture out of socket which caused the wires inside of the pipes to come lose and also would allow him to lower it. Appak did fall once he pulled the wiring out, he swung his body back as he got closed to the ground but luckily Durak was there to cushion it. Durak had ran just a tad in front of Appak which caused the light bulb to smack onto Durak's head and begin to electrocute him.
Appak let go once the bulb broke then hit the ground with a thud, Durak screamed loudly with the volts traveling through his body. Smoke rose off of Durak's head and the other lights were blinking now, the witches against the wall had their eyes covered now as Durak soon fell away from the light, now dead. Appak laughed loudly for a moment just before he realized Durak was falling on him, he crawled away just fast enough so only his legs were landed on but he managed to pull himself out.
Appak stood up and pushed his hair out of his face then laughed. "Note to self: No matter how smart a tank is, they are still more stupid than you." Appak went over to the witches and unchained them, he backed away slowly then once he was a safe distance he turned around and walked to the door. He went outside the room to see Luna, Mark, Steven, and Steve standing there talking around a pile of dead tanks.
They looked over at him and smiled as he walked over. Steven spoke first to Appak. "What now? Durak is dead right?" Appak nodded then responded. "Yes, but there is one thing that needs taking care of." Appak reached into the pile of tank bodies and searched around for a moment before pulling a witch out, who was screaming and shooting swears out at Appak. This witch was the one who had killed is friend Eddie, Appak smiled softly. This smile was different, cold and evil, it caused Luna to turn away when she saw it.
Appak laughed then, well it was more of a chuckle, as he placed his hand around her throat then ripped it out, causing her to make once last scream as she died. Appak dropped her and hit his hands together to get excess blood off. "Who is in the mood for survivor, maybe we can find one wandering the streets at night." That began a conversation up then about just how they preferred eating survivors.
Two hours after Durak's death they went back to the apartment where Emily sat on the couch waiting. Once they entered she went into the hall way to meet them. Emily looked at Appak and smiled then ran over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. Appak wrapped his arms around her and smiled. "Hello, I take it you missed me?" Emily nodded to him then kissed him lightly on the nose. Mark gagged slightly as he walked past them which caused Steven to laugh. Luna had gone back with Steve to their house for alone time. "So Emily, while we were out eating I found something. Oh, by the way I saved you a arm." Appak first gave her the arm which he had inside of a bag he had tied to the pants loop on his hip, once he had tossed the bag down he reached into his pocket and took out a brochure and opened it, showing her the picture. It was a motel, not a new one but a nice one. "The Vannah, nice isn't it?"
Emily nodded slightly as she looked at it. "What does it have to do with anything though?" She took a bit of the arm as he spoke. "Yes, we are going there." She had a look on her face that said she wondered how so he explained that they were going to drive there in a car. Appak had managed to learn the basics of driving from movies he had. Even though she didn't like the sound of that but she trusted Appak so she decided she would go with him.
After nearly a week of driving and the occasional stopping and getting gas or food when needed. Once they arrived at the hotel they found that it was being used as a CEDA evacuation center. Appak, with Emily on his, climbed up the building to the top floor found a room without humans in it. He opened the window and climbed through it, once inside he laid her on the bed and closed the window. He closed the blinds then went over to the door and locked it.
Appak then walked over and laid down on the bed with her, the evening was late and both of them were very tired so they decided that now it was time to sleep and tomorrow they would explore the area. In the morning however they were awoken by the sound of a helicopter and people screaming. Appak sat upright and looked around before scrambling up, Emily sat up in bed and looked around to see Appak standing over by the door with it just barely cracked open looking out into the hall. The helicopter had gone away now and gunshots could be heard down the hall.
Emily sneaked over to him and whispered. "What's going on?" Appak kept his eye on the hallway as he whispered. "The common infected got in and caused a panic, the building is on fire now. Once these survivors go by..." He said, he stopped once they walked past the door. He recognized one of the survivors as a man he knew. He finally got his memories back, three days before he awoke he was heading to a discrete location in the heart of Pennsylvania. He was a bookie, he was going to go and collect money from a man named Nick due to a bet he lost in a race. When Appak arrived though, he was overwhelmed by infected and soon was infected himself.
At the sight of Nick Appak's blood began to boil at the sight of him, Appak slowly opened the door of the room and let out his yell as he then leap onto Nick, he tried to dig his claws into Nick but the man named Coach had knocked him off. Appak staggered backwards and tried to regain himself in time to escape but it was too late, Nick had reached his pistol first and put a bullet between Appak's eyes, killing him.
Nick sighed with relief as he stood up and thanked Coach, they were just about to leave when they heard Emily crying from the room. Nick whispered to Coach. "First a hunter then a witch, what luck we are having." Emily yelled loudly as she ran out from the room, she slashed at all of them but mostly at Nick. She got three good scratches on Nick but in the end it was Rochelle who got the final shot on her.
Using her last bit of energy she crawled over to Appak's body and laid beside it, her head resting on his outstretched arm. Ellis tilted his head slightly as he looked at the scene. "Is it jus' me, or do they look like a' couple the way they're layin'?" Nick shook his head. "Just you, they are infected. They have no sense of wrong or right, hate or love. Let's find this elevator already." Nick, and the rest of them turned away and went to find the elevator, leaving the bodies of Appak and Emily to burn in the fire.
