Chapter. 19

I began to make a mad dash down the hallways, spotting A few nearly decomposed infected humans up ahead; Dispatching them with haste. Finn was a good fifteen feet behind me just running. As we moved up ahead I slipped in a new clip, When we arrived into the main room near the entrance we saw what had to be Thirty infected.

"What are those things and what are we going to do?" Finn asked as we settled near the doorway, away from detection.

"They are infected, remnants of their previous human hosts." He looked at me shocked. "What we are gonna do, is get you out of here." I ripped off my dog tags and handed them to him. "Here Finn. No matter what, take these and her, and take care of them. In case I don't make it out, tell marcie.."

"I know... But why? Why are you doing this?" He said with tears forming in his eyes.

I just smiled. I took off his hat and patted his head. "Same reason I've done all of this. To protect you little bro." I stood up and charged to the center of the room unloading on all of the infected I could. "NOW GO!" I shouted to Finn as a familiar click rang from my pistol. One was too close for me to be able to reload. Suddenly my katana appeared in my hands. I brought it down on the skull of the infected. I Slipped my pistol into it's holster.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Finn run outside the Gates. I pulled out my AR and turned it's Safety off. "There's only one way to stop this." I muttered to myself, getting ready to make another suicide run.

"Need help Jack?" I heard Dex say with a gunshot immediately following. I looked to see him taking out a few Infected.

"Thanks for the assist. I got a plan, and lets just say our cover is blown, so we are gonna have to go loud." A smirk arose on his face.

"Oh really?" I nodded. "Oh, this reminds me of the good old days when suicide runs were the norm, and we'd run them every other mission. This is gonna be so much fun!"

"Glad you think so. But we need to do it soon, so none get out. Understood"

"Got it."

"Then what are we waiting for?" He smirked and raised his gun. "Lets give em hell." We said simultaneously as we charged for the middle of the base.

"Where is he?" I said to myself a bit concerned. It had been ten minutes since he last saw Darick. In between that time though he heard multiple gunshots, But they had long since ceased.

"If he doesn't get out here soon, I'm gonna have to go in after him." I looked down at my sister, who I laid down by his side. I sat there watching her in a trance, but that trance was interrupted by a deafening blast.

I reopened my eyes, ears ringing, Sight shaky. I was flat on my back, Twenty feet away from where I was previously resting. "Wait, where is Jess?" I tried to sit up, only to be stifled by something weighing on my chest. I looked down to see her resting there. "Thank glob." I sighed.

I looked past her to see the research facility in ruin. There were flames blazing all over the place, as well as thousands of pieces of the walls all over. I arose to my feet faster than I thought possible. "Darick!" I called for him, worried he might be dead.

I saw two shadowy figures walking through the plumes of smoke. "What!" Shouted one of the figures. I Dashed towards him, with beads of tears welling up in my eyes. I tackled him into a hug.

"I thought you were dead." I said sniffling.

"Care that much huh?" He said with a kind smile. His face was covered with countless splatters of blood. He patted the top of my head, continueing on, not waiting for me to respond. "Don't worry, It'll take a lot more than that to keep me down. " He raised his hand from my head, and started to scan our environment. "Where is Jess?"

I pointed back to where she was laying. "She's over there." I said still a bit teary eyed, happy he was ok.

"Phew." He sighed. "Do you still have my tags finn?" I stared at him blank faced. "My dog tags."

"Oh yeah. Here you go." I said handing him his tags which were in my hands already.

"Thanks. Now I think we should get out of here." He said Putting his tags back on.

"Why?" My question was soon answered by a loud grumble.

Darick pointed to the ceiling. "Thats why." A stalagmite impaled the ground next to him. He stood there, not budging an inch. "Yeah, we should probably start running." He slowly walked over to jess and picked her up, then he slowly turned around to face me. "Why are you still standing there?" He asked, then he was instantly next to me. "We have to go."

"Huh?" He grabbed my shirt, then i heard another loud rumbling noise. I looked up to see we were about to be crushed. "Oh ma-" Then i felt a tug and was thrown to the ground. I Looked up and saw that we were a out in the main part of the cavern, where we fought the monster. I Saw Darick, on one knee, Having a hard time breathing. "Are you ok Darick?"

"I'm starting to get exhausted, that one took a lot out of me. I only got one more left in me." He stood up and put jess over his shoulders. "Start running finn," He said pointing towards where light was cracking through the ceiling some few hundred yards away. "I'll be right behind you."

I got up to my feet running as we headed back to where we came. We soon arrived back at the elevator which had since collapsed. I stabbed my sword into the wall as I jumped over the edge, sliding down the smooth wall. I looked over to Darick, who was already at the bottom. As I reached the bottom we continued on, moving like bats out of hell.

"So what are we gonna do?" I called over to him. "We sealed of the way back."

"Punch through."

"What?"

"You are the hero of strength, it shouldn't be too hard to punch through that much stone. After all, you did knock that monster back there on to his ass." I looked at my fist. "Can you do it?"

"I don't know, but I'll do my best." He slowed down a little to let me take lead as we approached the tunnel. I gotta do this. Just focus. Let the rage and power flow. Suddenly I felt the power surge back to me, as my fist started to glow. I looked up to see the debris laying in our path. "Here goes nothing." Then I slammed my fist into it so hard, it felt like my hand had been smashed to pieces, but that is exactly what happened to the debis. After about ten more feet though i felt drained and started to collapse, only to be picked up by my brother. At this point he had both me and jess on his shoulders.

I could see the hallway begin to collapse behind us when we entered the room where I awoke to this gauntlet. Darick then stopped not sure where to go. "Damn it." he said in a hushed tone as he looked behind us. "Nowhere to go but up." Then he leaped up with his transparent wings as rocks started to fall from the sides of the walls. We are not gonna make it. The tunnel will close up way before we get to the top. Almost as if he was reading my mind, Darick responded, "Don't worry, I told you I had room for one more." Then I felt a great surge of energy as debris fell around us, then, darkness.
