A few months have passed by ever since the zombie apocalypse started. I've been traveling with 11 friends, minus Kent since he kamikaze-d into the pile of zombies to try and save us. We haven't worried about it much anymore, but we still keep him in our minds to remember him. I found some human footprints yesterday, and we have been pursuing the footprints ever since. Where ever it came from, I had a feeling that we were getting closer.
"Does it seem like the number of footprints is growing larger?" Jack asked. I shook my head. "Na, I doubt it. It could be made only from 5 or 20 people." We continued to follow the footprints, which led into a cave. "Careful, there could be a horde of zombies in there." Aaron warned us. We slowly approached the cave, and investigated the origin of the footprints. However, we didn't find anything of interest in the cave. "I guess we were led here by someone or something." Nyquo stated. "We need to get out of here ASAP!" I yelled in alarm. We all ran outside, but we were stopped by a strange figure.
"Wait!" the figure said. We stood there, facing the figure. "Who are you?" I asked him. "I am the one you have been looking for. I am John." I wasn't surprised because for all I know, he could be lying to us and trying to get us killed. "Prove to us that you are John." I told him, seeing what his proof was. "Come and I shall show you," he led us outside to the light, where we saw his halo suit. I saw the emblem on his right shoulder. I also saw his code number on the back of his helmet. He didn't take off his helmet, but his armor was enough to prove to us that he was the real thing, John.
"I am from the future," he said. It was kind of hard to believe, but I had to believe it because of his Spartan number, 117. "The John from this time period is a zombie. I am John, from the future. I was brought back to life in the year 2552." Pretty long time if you ask me, I thought. "Anyways, I know about the situation here on Earth, and I'm requesting to join your group to help you." He's actually requesting to join our group? I questioned myself. Master Chief is requesting to join us to help us? I couldn't believe what I was hearing! He was offering to help and he was requesting to join us. "I also brought a series of weapons and firearms that you may enjoy more." He added. "I don't see any. Where are the firearms and weapons? I don't see any." Patrick added. "Follow me." John said, and walked into the cave.
As we followed him into the cave, I noticed that John was wearing different armor from the armor we were wearing, probably showing that he could take more zombie hits than we can. All the way inside the cave, to the end of it, he picked up a rock on the ground and pushed a small red button that made the ground rumble and a staircase had descended from the ceiling of the cave. How unexpected, I said to myself. He went up the stairs, then I went up the stairs, then everyone else went up the stairs. When I reached the top of the stairs, I noticed that the stairs had led us into a room, where John was standing.
"Welcome to the weapons and firearms bunker," he said. The area of the room was illuminated by light that blinded us for a moment. Everything became clear after a few seconds. When I looked around in the area, what I saw was amazing. He really did bring weapons and firearms along. And I recognized the weapons too. There was the Assault Rifle, the Magnum, the Battle Rifle, the Shotgun, the Gatling gun and the Sniper Rifle. As far as I knew, we just replaced our weapons with the ones that John had brought along. Jack replaced his SMG with the new battle rifle. Dalton, Skye, Aaron and I replaced our assault rifles with the new assault rifle. Patrick and Alan replaced their sniper rifles with the new sniper rifle. Aden replaced his shotgun with the new shotgun. Nyquo and Chris replaced their LMG with the new Gatling gun.
"Feels good to hold a new weapon," Nyquo stated, holding his new Gatling gun expertly. Jack nodded in agreement. "You also might want to replace your ammunition too. Your ammunition won't work with the new weapons." He warned us, and we took that warning as a precaution and replaced our current ammunition with the new ammunition. "So tell me," he told me. "Why are you looking for me?" I was confused at first because I wasn't expecting questions from John. "Because we read in some documents a couple months ago that you had knowledge on killing zombies and obliterate them from the planet." I explained what I had read in the document, including the name of the virus, or in this case, disease.
"Yes, I do know about all of that. After all, I wrote it." He explained. "Where do we go first?" I can tell he was already ready for action. "Before we go, did you by any chance bring any grenades?" I asked him. I knew our grenades were just fragmentation grenades, but maybe he had some new grenades we could use. "I didn't bring any because the fragmentation grenades in the future are the same as the ones in your time." He replied. I took that as an answer, because I didn't expect him to bring any along. "Ok, then." I started.
"First place is California. We know that that state has the highest population, which means that there are probably a lot of zombies." I explained thoroughly. "There may be many survivors there too. We have to go there, investigate and rescue any survivors that may need our help." Everyone readied up for the trip to California. After all, we were only in Oregon. "Everyone ready?" I made sure my teammates and the newest member was ready to go. After I saw the nods, then I started to move toward the direction of California, and my teammates followed. Now that we've found John, we can hope that we will live and defeat the undead army. Hopefully my vision doesn't come true.
