Wow! I cannot remember the last time I updated this. Is anyone out there still reading this? Well I hope you are cause this thing just got a long overdue update. Sorry for the really long wait everyone. I kinda lost interest and forgot about this. It doesn't help that some of the OC owners have up and disappeared on me. But regardless I must carry on. So for the first time in monthes, please enjoy Nightmares Become Reality.

(Lower Levels)
In the lower levels of the base, one lone marine still stood. He had already lost his squad to the terror of what he had just witnessed. He had always hated their kind, especially now. Once them and their eight spindly legs had burst out of the vents and started attacking the other men, he just felt his blood run cold and he had bolted for it. He didn't even bother looking back. But now he could feel the shame washing over him and he couldn't bear it. But for right now he had to focus on his own survival. He figured that any of his frustration, could be taken out on his enemies.
He stared at the hall in front of and saw the staircase up ahead. He took a breath and pressed forward. Almost instantly an imp jumped down from the ceiling. A quick burst from his machine gun quelled that threat. A few steps later he heard a shriek behind him and he turned to see two zombies running towards him. The man pulled out his sidearm and put bullets in both of their heads.
"Oh perfect. They're running now? If these things are all over, we are screwed," the man said and pressed on.
As he closer to the staircase, he saw something in the corner of his eye and turned to it. It was a mutilated body hanging upside down. Poor guy must have been trying to get away from those things. A low growl coming from the stairwell returned him to attention and he looked to see a pinky coming down the steps and charging towards him. The marine turned his machine gun back to the charging beast and unloaded the payload onto it until the thing dropped. He reloaded and continued on towards the stairs. As he proceeded up the steps, he heard a small squeal above him and looked up. A cherub was crawling around on the ceiling. One shot from the mans sidearm was enough to put it down. Some of the monsters blood dripped onto his forehead and he wiped it off as the creature fell to the floor.
"Foul creatures. How many are there?" the man said as he reached the top step.
He saw a maintenance door up ahead and figured that that was the best place to go. He stepped forward but heard a few evil hisses coming from the vent behind him. He froze and slowly turned around. Crawling from the vent was a spider like creature followed quickly by two more and two others descended from the ceiling on web lines. As they all hit the floor and hissed at him, he whipped out the machine gun and pointed at them.
"I already abandoned my men to you. You are not getting away from me," the man said.
The lead spider creature hissed and the five of them began scuttling towards him. A quick burst from the machine gun was enough to put one down and then another, but the man quickly ran out of ammo with three of them still coming towards him. With not enough time to reload, he pulled out his sidearm and took down two more with his handgun. But again he ran out of ammo in that one as well. He tried to reload, but before he could finish, the one remaining spiderling jumped on him and began trying to bite at his face. Fear began racing through the mans veins, but adrenaline then took over as he reached towards his waist and found his combat knife. Wasting no time, he pulled the knife out of it's sheath and plunged it right into the spiderling making it shriek in pain and then collapse dead.
The marine laughed in crazed relief and got up from under the beast and reloaded his weapons. He walked over to the maintenance door and went inside. He sat on the ground for a moment to gather his thoughts and plan his next course of action. He looked up to see a ladder in front of him. He knew that he had to get back up to the surface and it was up that he had to go. So grabbed one of the rungs to the ladder and began climbing up.
(Armory)
The entire group focused their weapons on the door as the banging continued. Both Dave and Rose got in front of Skippet to keep her out of the enemies line of fire should it come to that. The door began to bend as the bangs continued. When a good portion of the door was bent, the banging stopped and the sound of heavy footfalls began leading away from the door. Skipper motioned towards Rico to walk with him towards the door. They both kept their weapons focused on the door as they approached it. They tried forcing the door open, but it was stuck. Stuck good.
Skipper scratched his head and said, "They weren't getting in this way. So why even try it? All they did was damage the door."
"Can you open it?" Skippet asked from across the room.
Skipper shook his head and said, "Sorry little lady. But the door is jammed. We'd need some tools to work it open."
"I still don't understand. Seeing what these things are capable of, they're certainly intelligent. They should know they can't get in. So why damage the door?" Kowalski asked out loud.
Suddenly the lights in the room began to flicker as if the power was slowly being drained out of them. Out of nowhere a fiery orange circle appeared on the floor and on the ceiling right above it. A strange orange glow come from the area between the circles and a crackling sound emanated from it.
"Um I don't think they were trying to get in. They were trying to keep us from getting out," Dave said as he aimed his assault rifle at the mysterious formation.
Then in the sound of a thunderclap, five imps appeared out of a bolt of lightning that appeared in the glow. Everyone fired their weapons as one by one the imps went down. However on the other side of the room, another bolt of lightning struck releasing a dozen pinkies that came storming towards them. As the group was occupied with them, a vent came off one of the walls and a couple of zombies came crawling in. Neither of them had their legs. No one noticed seeing as they were focused on the pinkies in front of them. As the pinkies dropped, there was another lightning strike as something else appeared this time. It was large and had a reptilian like body with what looked like small tentacles coming from it's mouth. At the end of each arm were cannons. Cannons that began firing rockets at the group.
"Shit! Everyone look out!" Alexander yelled as everyone dispersed.
Skippet had scrambled away from Dave and Rose and crawled under a table in the room. While most of the others were concentrating fire on the new beast. Sarah took notice of Skippet. She couldn't just leave her there alone and she could even see the undead crawling towards her. She tried calling out to the girl, but the gunfire was too loud. Moreover, Skippet had her ears covered as the sound of the gunfire was too much for her right now. Sarah walked out from cover and started moving towards. Hopefully to at least let her know of the zombies getting close to her. She tried calling out to Skippet again, but the girl still couldn't hear her.
A rocket hit a nearby wall and a nearby table exploded in crimson fire as the beasts barrage of rockets continued. Sara finally decided she had no choice but she took off one of her own shoes and tossed them to Skippet and hit her in the shoulder. Skippet rubbed her shoulder to see Sara pointing at something behind her. Skippet turned her head to see the two zombies coming towards her. She let out a little scream and pulled out her sword. She let a few tears fall before she thrust the sword forward and pierced the first ones skull. She retracted the blade and let the other one get a little closer before she took him out as well.
Back with the others, McIvor took his MP5 and stood up and sprayed the beast as much as he could. The others stood as well and Sal gave a quick blast to the monsters head and the top of the monsters head exploded sending brain and bone fragments all over the wall. The creature stood for a moment before collapsing in on itself, ripping it's own spinal cord out as it fell. Just as the beast died, the flickering stopped and the lights came back on. Everyone was unhurt, but the room was in pieces. Their cover had been hit bad and there were no more safe places to hide in the room. But that wasn't what bothered them most.
"You have got to be kidding me. They can TELEPORT now?! We're screwed. No doubt about it. We're all going to die down here," Amber said angrily.
Dave groaned as he sat on the remains of one table and rubbed his leg. The gunshot wound was still throbbing in his leg and he groaned.
"Don't touch it! You're only gonna hurt yourself more," Alexander said and smacked Dave upside the head.
Flora back Alexander away and said to Dave, "Can you still walk? We're not going to carry you."
Dave stood back up and said, "Yeah I'm good. Just hurts a little bit is all. But I've been through worse. It's no problem at all."
Skippet was shaking a bit and Sara came over to her. Skippet wrapped her arms around Sara and thanked her for the help. Sara returned the hug and grabbed the shoe that she had tossed to help gain Skippet's attention. After this the two of them rejoined the group as McIvor turned to the rest of them.
"Well everyone it seems as if this situation gets more and more FUBAR as we go along. We still need to get out of here and backtrack and obtain a special device for Kowalski. I'm not going to lie. It's going to be tough and it's going to be frightening. Our best chance at survival is sticking together. Has everyone got that?" McIvor addressed them.
Everyone nodded in agreement. McIvor nodded as well and continued.
"Good. From here on out we work as a team together. It doesn't matter what our ranks are or how we feel about each other. If you have any squabbles with each other, get over it right now. We still have a lot to do. Skipper, you and Rico get this door off. Everyone else, scavenge the room for ammo and supplies. Any other questions?" McIvor said.
Everyone shook their heads no. McIvor smiled and clapped his hands together.
"Alright everyone search. We need to get out of here as soon as possible. There's no telling how long it'll take for them to realize that we're still alive," McIvor said and everyone got to their tasks.
(JFK Airport)
While chaos ensued underground, Blowhole and his assistant sat in the terminal waiting for their flight to be called. It had already been delayed and Blowhole was getting impatient. The assistant got up and walked up to check the flight status and it had been cancelled this time. Curious he went to the assistance desk to find out what was going on. As he returned to his boss, the assistant had a look of dread on his face.
"Uh boss, bad news. Our flight's been cancelled," the man said.
Blowhole gave him a cold look and asked, "And why is that?"
The assistant rubbed his shoulder and said, "Well all flights are being cancelled or diverted to other airports. The airport was told of some strong seismic activity going on and the FAA has grounded all flights."
At this point, a strong rumble filled the air and the ground began to shake. The windows to the terminal shattered sending glass flying into the crowd. Blowhole and his assistant had been far enough away without being hurt. As they surveyed the damage, they could see plenty of people were lying about moaning from the pain. Glass was sticking out of their bodies and blood was all over the ground. A few people weren't even moving at all. They looked out and they could see an orange glow coming from the center of the city.
"Sir what is that?" the assistant asked.
Blowhole smiled and said, "Progress my friend."
Blowhole reached into his briefcase and secretly pulled a needle out of the case.
"Progress? I don't understand," the assistant said before the needle was plunged into his arm.
He gasped and looked at his boss who grabbed him around the neck.
"You served me well all these years my friend. You earned an easy death," Blowhole said as the man gasped a little more and then went limp.
Blowhole dropped his body and looked back at the glow.
He grinned from ear to ear and said, "And now the fun REALLY begins."
Well now. That was a good chapter wasn't it? We had action, horror, and now something else is afoot.
New monsters: Spiderling is either a tick or trite depending on it's size. And the beast with the cannons on it's arms is called a Mancubus. My most hated Doom enemy.
