EDIT: ENDING IS REDONE NOW THAT PLANS FOR THE SEQUEL HAVE CHANGED. PLEASE REREAD!

Chapter 24: The End Part II

Austin's POV

I threw another punch at the madman, knocking him down to the ground. He wiped his jaw and stood up.

"I admit, you know how to throw a good punch," the Doctor chuckled. He flashed a usual mischievous grin. "Now, you die!"

I received a strong jab to the right cheek, and it hurt like hell. It's weird, you'd think you couldn't be hurt in the afterlife. I took a step back.

"How does this work exactly?" I couldn't help but ask.

"The first one to drop to both knees loses; the pain in this realm is the exact same as in the mortal world," the doctor happily explained. "Your turn!"

I gave Richtofen an uppercut to the jaw, knocking him back. I pulled and M1911 out, and pressed it to his forehead.

"Out of your body, NOW!" I screeched through gritted teeth.

My confidence faded when he pulled out his own weapon, some kind of electric gun that I'd never seen before. My expression dropped to merely a dejected shock.

"Like it? It's called the Wunderwaffe DG-2, and it's mine. It's a pity, you Americans are too stupid for your own good. One shot from this, and it's all over. Face it Austin, you can't win here," he wheezed. "Any last words, CDC Agent?"

I did not drop my M1911, rather I kept it pointed to Richtofen's temple. "No matter the outcome, rather humans die out or not, at least there will be the cold comfort that we went down fighting."

For one moment, Richtofen looked seriously admired by my bravery, but soon he wiped off the look. "Very well," He knocked the pistol out of my hand. "That won't help you win, only I win here! You and your group have been toyed with from the very beginning. And now, it's game over!"

He hit me with the butt of his gun, knocking me to the ground. "I am sick of your games, Richtofen! Kill me, just end my-!"

Two gunshots echoed, and I saw Richtofen clutch his ribs. The sharp pain in my shoulder told me I had been hit by the other bullet. From what I could tell, I saw a little girl in the background, holding the smoking Python.

"Neither of you will end this! I am here to regain my rightful place and body. The zombies must answer to me, Samantha Maxis!"

"What? I'm on your side!" I shouted in frustration.

"So? I used you!" She mocked in a girly voice. " Now, be gone from this realm!" Our vision faded after the said that. When it returned, we were back in our physical bodies.

"Where did their bodies come from?" I overheard Marlton ask as I began to regain consciousness. The others just stared at us in disbelief.

"Austin, Samantha! Did you defeat Richtofen?!" Misty was getting excited, time to dampen her spirit.

"Samantha just betrayed all of you," Richtofen beat me to the punch. "And now I'm trapped back in my old body, with people who were once my very enemies." He rose and turned to me, a deathly angry look burning directly at my pupils. "Especially you, jackass!"

"We don't have time for such petty rivalries. We have to get off the moon before she overwhelms us." I picked up my Paralyzer, which hasn't been taken away from me yet. "Everyone, run like hell to the teleporter. Don't stop, don't even look back. We need to find a place of refuge."

Everybody scattered in different directions, weapons drawn. We fought through the armies of yellow-eyed zombies Samantha threw at us. All I know is that by the time we all made it, she was really trying to get us killed!

"We can't hold out much longer, we need to activate the teleporter now!" Arlington screamed over the gunfire. He clicked the button, and right as we were about to get eaten, we were wisked away back to Earth.

Sam's Betrayal was just getting started, but we were prepared.

The End.

Instead of the planned crossover sequel, I am instead keeping the story to its roots.

Thanks for reading, and sorry about a sloppy ending, but it had to be done to set up the sequel.

I am taking the language down for Sam's Betrayal, so expect a T rating. The story will be in the crossover section for COD and MLP, so check there for it. The story had been visualized, and the first chapter is already under drafting.

Also, thank you everyone. This story got over 7,000 views by the end! That's a lot in my eyes. I know it wasn't that good, but I am honored that so many people checked it out.

Check back in August,
