Disclaimer: I do not own L4D

I'm going to include lemon in a short flashback chapter among others.

Well, here's some new stuff I wanted to add and damn my uncle for preaching RIGHT NEXT TO ME!

An infected man was staring at the wall of an alley. The man was showing a face of resolute peace until a loud continuous beep sounded. Instantly, his face contorted into anger, and he shone in the moonlight his other arm…a sword.

Gi and the group were traveling the streets of some desolate town. It had been a month since they found Diana, and she was accepted normally among the group. Gi was slicing open infected, clearing open a path for the others to the safe house.

All was going well until Alice accidently fired a bullet into an infected and the body was sent flying into a car. A loud alarm sounded and the sky was filled with the screams and shrieks of infected. Everyone made a formation; the four adults huddled around Alice while Diana and Gi took opposite sides of the group.

'Get ready! This horde sounds pretty big!' Gi clawed apart an infected before beating the crap out of one with it's ripped off arm.

The group was blasting wildly into the horde, mowing down anything that came close. Alice stood over the adults and fired shots in between, scoring headshots.

'What the--- OH SHIT!' Gi dodged rolled out of the way of an infected. The thing was shrouded in the shadows of night.

'Gi, what the hell is wrong?' Diana stabbed an infected through the eyes before running over to him.

The infected came slowly out of the dark, revealing its form. At first glance, the infected would be considered a normal addition to a horde, but upon close inspection, one would see something different.

The infected had an arm that was replaced with a sharp blade, the sword made of the creature's bone mass. The other arm vaguely resembled a shield, the bones grown large to support the shape of something used to block.

The infected roared before charging forward at Gi and Diana. Thinking quickly, Gi pulled his pistol out and fired a round at its head, the infected blocked it with its bone shield.

'Damn it! This infected is smart!' Gi snarled insanely and then fired 5 more rounds, the infected still running forward while blocking the shots.

'Fuck off!' Gi grabbed the infected's shield and pulled it down before firing a shot into its exposed head. The infected's head exploded in a cloud of blood and brain matter. The infected still managed to swipe at Gi and score a clean cut across the chest.

'Damn piece of… Diana go help the others, I don't think they can hold off that horde much longer.' Diana nodded and rushed off while Gi turned around and face a new horde, a horde of the new infected.

'Heh, looks like a sword fight is coming.' Gi reached down and ripped the bone sword from the dead infected.

'Too bad I got a sword AND gun!' Gi charged forward, bent on mass murder.

Diana was running towards the infected horde, grabbing and stabbing infected while being supported by the five other survivors. Soon, the mass of infected died down and Diana relaxed a little, stopping to pull out her own gun.

*CHI-CHAK*

Diana unloaded several shells into the horde, decimating at least 5 or 6 infected per shot. The other five just stopped and marveled at how she slaughtered the horde within 5 minutes.

Soon, the ground rumbled with something unnatural. The survivors all gave looks of horror at what was coming and rushed to the nearby safety of a building, Diana holding back the horde before joining them. The roar of the tank followed closely behind as the last person slipped through the doors.

'Okay, everyone throw some grenades out of there quick!' Bill whispered hoarsely as he pulled out his grenade.

The others all pulled out a grenade while Alice pulled out a Molotov and Diana a pipe bomb. Everyone activated their respective explosives and threw them outside. A beeping continued for a few moments before a LARGE explosion occurred. The group huddled together to resist the force of the explosion.

When it cleared, the survivors stood up and walked to the door, exactly when it was banged upon relentlessly. The group panicked and everyone rushed to the adjoined room while Diana grabbed a vase and waited besides the doorway.

When a shadow passed, she smashed it upon the figure's head…only to be grabbed and thrust against the wall.

A bloodied Gi was holding a pistol against Diana's head, his face housed multiple cuts, his arms bleeding and one slightly charred, one of his legs were twisted, and to top it all off, a bone sword was lodged in his gut. When the hunter realized who it was, he released her and slumped into a chair, glaring at the group.

He started to recount what happened before the explosion.

I was ripping apart these horde of new infected, half of them being dumbasses and the other half being smartasses. I'm in the middle of stabbing an infected between the eyes while blowing out another's brains before one of them stabs me through the gut. I jam the sword into the guy's head, break off the sword and then resume cutting and shooting.

When I hear the bellow of the tank, I quickly try to break free of the horde. But, like an idiot, I get myself locked in the middle of it. I realize I have to kill all of them first so I go into my 'hunter' status. After, slaughtering at least 20 infected, I started hearing a beeping sound.

I turn around just in time to be blown away backwards into a brick wall. When the smoke clears, I see everything dead, except for you guys. I decided to smell you out and found you guys here. I started to bang on the door because the knob was broken; I walked through here and get smashed on the head with a fucking Ming vase.

'…'

'…'

'…'

'…'

'Care to explain?'

'Umm, we heard the tank coming and all of us rushed inside and then Bill told us to throw our grenades outside.' Alice was meekly answering for the group, the others too scared.

'(Sigh) As long as no one was stupid enough to shoot me, I'm fine.'

A gunshot was sounded and a bullet whizzed past the group and into Gi's hooded head. The hunter went flying backwards into the wall and then collapsed into the floor.

'You folks alright?' A young man with a rifle walked through the doorway opposite of the group.

'HOLY SHIT!' Diana started to shake Gi's body while the man took aim again.

'Whoops, forgot one.' The man fired another bullet at Diana, the witch too occupied to see the shot coming at her head.

Fortunately, a clawed hand was more than enough to block the bullet. Gi bolted upright and was glaring deadly at the young man, who cracked under the intense killer intent.

'Okay, give me a reason why I shouldn't rip out your throat!' Gi had advanced forward and grabbed the man and slammed him against the wall.

'HOLY HELL! YOU CAN TALK?'

'Wrong answer' Gi reared his hand back and formed it into a straight claw. Before he could start stabbing, Diana grabbed his arm and withheld it.

'Gi, stop!' Diana made Gi release the man and calmed him down. She gently made him sit down and started to patch up his wounds.

'Hey buddy! Wanna tell us why the hell you here?' Francis was getting up and tossing a medical pack to Diana.

'Well, I was holed up here for the last 3 months. I've been sniping a few infected to help people get through, but when your group came. I was out of ammo for my sniper rifle. I was busy hunting through my storage for more when the tank came and you guys then blew the thing to pieces with all those explosives.'

'Sad part was the lone infected still walking over to you guys and I just found some ammo. I ran down and fired at it, thinking it was going to kill you alls.'

The man sat down in a chair before waiting for the group to absorb the information.

'So wait, you fired a bullet at my head, thinking I was going to kill these guys? Didn't you hear the stuff I was explaining?'

'Umm, theirs like two flights of stairs between here and the roof. Plus, you try hauling a sniper rifle, a large backpack, and a box of rifle shots without spilling anything.'

'Touché'

'Okay, I take it you guys going somewhere?' Zoey started explaining the plan while Diana finished patching up Gi's wounds.

'Thanks Diana, that sword was stinging like a bitch'

'You're welcome Gi'

'And that's where we're going.'

'Hey, why not join us; you seem to be able to take care of yourself.'

The man looked at Gi in shock.

'You want me to join you even after I tried to shoot you in the head?!?'

'Yeah, no use leaving a man out here to protect people who may not make it. It's been at least 5 months; I doubt there are still survivors out there and that you only nicked my cheek with that bullet.'

'I guess your right, fine, let me pack up my guns and we'll get going.'

The group follows the man upstairs to the roof where he proceeds to start shoveling stuff into his backpack. After finished with the small firearms, he motions to a wall of heavy semi-automatics and tells everyone to help carry some.

The group rushes in and starts grabbing whatever. Francis actually drools a bit when browsing the guns the man had.

Gi waited outside of the metal box until his ears picked up the sound of running feet. He glanced over the edge of the roof and saw a lone figure clutching something run from a large horde.

'Shit! Guys we got a horde heading our way and their chasing someone!'

The group immediately rushed out and stared off to where I pointed. The man used his scope and located the figure.

'Oh merciful lord! It's a woman and baby!'

'Shit! Guys run down there and try to hold off any strays and the horde!' The group nodded and rushed down while the man started to fire away at the horde.

'Damnit! This darkness and fog is blocking my vision!' I can't make a clear target. What the hell can we do, she's slowing down!'

Gi stared off into the distance and started doing a head count, when the man told he couldn't fire, he turned to him.'

'You still got one of them snipers?'

Gi loaded the clip, pulled the hammer back, and then aligned the scope. He aimed and fired a bullet that pierced several heads before lodging into an infected's stomach.

The man started to fire at the now visible infected. It was then he started to preach.

Surely Satan himself must have let swing the gates of Hell…… for what haunts my flock is surely not the work of our Lord. People are scared. They feel God has abandoned us. The Earth becomes the Devil's playground and people begin to lose faith in the Lord.

The man dropped a empty clip before pulling out another and then wiping his scope lens clean.

"Where is He?" they ask. "Why does He not answer our prayers? People need miracles. They need to see God is with us always. Even when it seems he is not. They need to see His love And he certainly has his hands full.

Gi turned from his scope to see the man fire into an infected that got hold of the woman.

I am His shepherd, and so He has called upon me to deliver.

"Heh, you believe in God eh? Good show. Well I got my own kind of prayer."

Gi turned back to his scope and started to preach himself.

"You can run to the farthest edge of the planet,

You can hide in the darkest corner of the world,

Gi fired another round into a mass of infected before he saw the boomer stalking up

You can cross the ocean or climb the highest mountain,

Hide in the Earth or fly in the sky,

He unloaded the heavy clip, slammed in a new one, and pulled the hammer back.

But I will always find you, before you ever even notice me,

I will hunt you…till the end of time.''

He fired 3 bullets at the boomer. One went through his leg. One found home in its head. And one landed in its stomach.

'Heh, you ever been in the force? You're too good of a shot.'

'Nope, played a lot of shooting games in my lifetime, stuff like that causes you to always to want know the many aspects of guns.'

After 2 hours of shooting at infected, Gi ran out of ammo.

'Well shit, I'm out.'

'Too bad, I only got this clip.'

'Well, keep the woman protected. I'm going to start some wholesome mass slaughter.'

'Good luck with that.'

Gi pounced to the ground below and started slicing up infected. The adults were protecting Alice in diamond formation until a smoker caught sight of her and latched its tongue around the teenager.

"AHHH!!! HELP ME!"

Suddenly, Alice was released and landed in the arms of Diana. The teenager looked up to see blood and bits of organs go flying before a figure arose and pounced down.

'Thanks Gi.'

'Heh, anything for my little girl'

Alice blushed lightly and then ran back to the group and started using her newly acquired uzi.

'Diana, cover my back, I'm going to start the pounce.'

The witch nodded and stood guard while Gi took a crouching stance. He began to target various infected before giving off a primal roar.

Gi pounced forward and landed on the incoming group of infected. The woman skid to a halt and watched in horror at the hunter before her. She stood rooted to the ground before an infected was about to claw her.

(Switching perspectives)

I ducked and tripped over myself and landed on the ground with a small thud. I was holding my baby tightly as the infected bent low and was about to bite. I closed my eyes and prayed for a quick end.

After a full 10 minutes, I reopened my eyes to see the group that was still chasing me dead. The figure I had seen earlier was gone…….only to reappear behind me.

I witnessed the man smash an infected head into the ground before stabbing another one through the eyes. He was slaughtering the infected and soon walked over to me, the piles of bodies and gore unmatched.

He gripped me firmly by the shoulders but gently and helped me off of the ground, careful not to get blood on any of my clothing.

'You alright?'

I was taken aback by the talking infected but recovered from my shock and answered.

'Yes, but my baby is hungry.'

'Heh, we got some milk for the little thing, don't worry.'

'We?'

The hooded figure motioned behind him to the people killing off the second horde.

'Don't worry, follow me.'

I looked at the bloodied claw, at my hungry and wailing baby, and then at the group.

'Thank you.'

(Back to normal)

Gi was holding the woman by the hand and leading her quickly to the group, swatting away any infected. He glanced back to make sure she was still there and then resumed running.

Soon, the horde died down to a mere gathering and the survivors easily killed the rest of the infected. Everyone was suffering from some minor scratches but nothing a med pack wouldn't fix. The group all rested easy when the last infected fell lifelessly to the ground.

'Okay guys, we better get some names here or else we might have trouble getting through to each other.'

Gi walked over the group and listened to the introductions. The woman was called Bessie and her baby boy was James. The man introduced himself as Chad.

'Well, since everyone's acquainted now, let's get going. The night doesn't really give a good line of sight when fighting the infected.' Diana took the lead and started to turn the corner before the sound of vomiting was heard.

'SHIT!' Immediately, the horde came running from behind the survivors. The sound of feet was so thunderous that James started to cry loudly, attracting more.

'Guys! Get to the safe house over there!' Gi pointed in the direction of a hotel sporting 3 floors and double red metal doors.

'You heard the man, move!' Francis herded the group towards the hideout while blasting away at infected, hoping to slow them down.

Gi ran over to Diana and removed his hoodie. He quickly started to wipe off any bile and then put his jacket back on.

'Go to the safe house!' I hold them off!' Gi was coated in bile and the infected came running faster at him.

'I'm not leaving you to fight them alone!' She clung desperately to his arm in an attempt to stay.

'NO!!!' Gi grabbed her by the shirt and leg and threw her at the open doors of the safe house. She landed inside just as the men pulled the doors close.

'I'm be damned if you hurt my friends!' Gi secured his hood around his head again and then went into 'hunter' status.

His claws mutated into knives, his eyes glowed with malicious red, and his teeth formed into fangs.

The hunter was out and his prey was here.


Gi ran forth and grabbed the boomer that vomited on her. He rammed his hand into its stomach and then pulled out the various guts and organs that made up a human. He pulled out a grenade and jammed it into the mess of intestines.

Gi lifted the 300 pound boomer and threw it at the horde of infected. He snarled like an animal before rushing forward and stabbing an infected through the eyes, ripping out his brain and then biting into his stomach. He feasted intensely on the guts, the organs, the blood, and the skin itself of the infected.

Gi arose with a bloodied mouth and then rushed at another one. Tearing open the head, he ripped off every single layer of skin and broke off the exposed arm and beat the infected to death with it.

A smoker wrapped its tongue around Gi's neck and then dragged him towards the wall; giving many infected a chance to claw him. Gi grabbed the tongue and pulled with enough might to make the smoker go flying into a building wall, the sound of crunching and bones snapping filled the air.

It was after Gi removed the tongue that his hunter took over and he lost consciousness.

Later that night

The group was situated around a small fire, stuffing their faces with canned food. Gi and Diana were off to the right side and sharing a couple of rations together. The night was filled with controlled laughter and sounds of merriment.

After the clock struck mid-night, the humans retired to the beds in the safe house while the infected stayed in the main room and shared a little alone time.

'Thanks for helping me back there.' Diana snuggled into his chest as the hunter leaned back.

'Well, your both my friend and my mate, can't help but protect the family.'

Diana was blushing full force and covered her face with her hands. Gi simply kissed her head.

'Man, my hunter side must be mean as hell. I still don't remember killing even half those infected. All I do remember was an angel coming to rescue me.'

Diana blushed even more and just socked him lightly in the arm; his torso was in dire need of healing.

'I still can't believe you decimated that tank with your bare hand and with a broken foot.'

'Heh, blame the psychopathic hunter in me.'

'I still can't believe what that infected said was true.'

'The way he said the 'five stages of controlling the hunter side' of me was enough to make me kill him.'

'But in the end, he was right.'

'Yeah, I know, I mean I could understand bloodlust, killing a human, emotional support, and the hunger. But what made me nearly fall over in embarrassment was when he said LUST.'

Diana blushed slightly more before speaking again.

'He said you must choose a mate or risk raping any infected women you see for 5 hours.'

'That just made me double over in laughter, but I seriously shuddered at the thought.'

'Heh, you didn't show any fear when you confronted me about it.'

'Shut up, I was under the 'influence' of an individual.'

'Whatever, you did find means to satisfy the other stages.'

'Yeah guess I did'

'Well, I'm too tired to move, can I sleep on you?'

'(Sigh) Fine, but no clutching, last time you nearly killed me.'

'Heh, the man who withstood several clips of bullets, lit on fire more than 5 times, swallowed boomer bile, fell down 4 stories, clawed by various infected, stabbed through the gut, arm, leg, etc. and choked various times with a smoker's tongue, is afraid of being squeezed to death.'

'Shut up and go to sleep.'

Diana leaned back on the hunter before sleeping soundly. Gi kissed her forehead gently, watching the moon make its slow passage through the sky.

Three more people to look after.

A/N: Next is Mercy Hospital and the introduction of Gi's teacher

Anyways, my uncle was reading the bible when I was typing and I was a bit hazy. Well, I ended up typing that stuff and then my uncle read it and helped me redo it since it was a bit logical and then he commented on how good I was at that stuff but then I think I fell over into my laundry basket

The hunter poem was made by playing some L4D with my infected friends. Apparently one of my teammates was a poetic player and found it nice to start reciting the poem while hunting. I laughed when the guy got sniped, but asked him for it.
