* Silver's POV *
"Whud the hail jush happen?" Nikolai slurs as the sun comes back. As far as I know, we've completed another part of the temple's puzzle with Mason's guidance. I whirl around and shoot two masterkey shots into one undead that tried to grab me. Takeo shoots his AK-47 at the cadavers while shouting out taunts. Mason has us activate the four skull buttons again, sending us back in time.
"Now we have to get back to the waterfall. Follow me." Mason orders us while he mumbles numbers and shoots at other hostile bodies. "… 11… 14… 7… 23…" I fire a few shots at the other zombies about to swipe at the SOG operative. A frag grenade gets thrown at the undead, creating a nice burst of reds and organs as body parts fly every which way. Then I drag Mason and Nikolai with me towards the mine cart.
"Keep your hands inside at all times and enjoy the ride." I say with a grin before the mine cart starts to move. Takeo was 'generous' enough to leave an N47 Anti-Tank grenade near the platform at the last second. When I look at him, he manages to tell me "I decided to leave them a present," right before the cart picks up speed.
"Oh shit, oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, OH SHI-HIH-HIH-HITT!" Nikolai screams in terror all throughout the mine cart ride. Then we all go splash into the waterfall area, getting soaked yet again. While I shake myself off, Mason chucks a semtex grenade at this diamond that appeared on top of the waterfall. The explosion knocks the large gem down to his feet.
"18… 0… 3… 15… 7… 21… 14… Shrink diamond… transport package to temple… proceed to next objective." He mumbles as he takes out the strange alien rifle he found in the water-slide room. He fires the gun at the diamond and the green ray shrinks it. None of us understand what happened, but we're all willing to trust Mason and his numbers. The SOG picks up the gem and carries it over to a geyser, launching it up to some part of the temple.
"Damn numbers." He curses with a few shakes of his head. "Dam you Dragovich… Hope you burn in Hell…"
* Luna's POV *
"Ve must do zhish next." Richtofen says as he moves over to the tunnel behind the waterfall. The insane doctor heads to a part of the tunnel and twists the wheel of some valve in the wall. The acidic smell of gas fills the tunnel as some pipes burst from pressure.
"*cough* Was that *cough* really needed *cough cough* Richtofen?" I manage to choke out in between coughs.
"Ja, it vas." He replies before rushing over to the geyser and launches himself up. Everyone follows the psychotic doctor, either to just stick with him or to get some fresh air.
"Zhere are going to ve gash leaks that vill need to be shet on fire. Samansa, zhou take care of zat vith ze flametosser. Ze vest of us vill fend off ze zombies." Edward instructs. "Now get going!" I stay close to Sam while she lights the gas, fending off the zombies with my Stoner and a few grenades.
"Get back in the grave maggot food!" Patrick cries out while he fires his HK-21 using the ACOG sights. Several undead fall before his LMG as he sprays bullets into the bodies. Maxis lights the first gas leak by the trapped explorers as Richtofen fires off his Spectre. Then the crazy doctor runs off somewhere else. Tank howls in laughter as he takes out gutbag after gutbag with his Kiparus. I guard Sam as she lights another gas leak in the tunnel and a third by a rock wall right near the geyser.
"Zhat's ze last vun!" Sam cries out once we reach the power room. "Ack! Zhere everywhere!" A curse escapes my lips as my Stoner runs another dual mag dry. While I get another clip loaded up, Samantha chucks a musical monkey at the swarm. We all hear the squeaking of mine cart wheels from up above.
"I get ze HEAD SHOT!" Richtofen says with glee as his Spectre shoots from the safety of the mine cart. Bullets and a grenade rain down from his position, cutting new holes into the undead around the monkey. A few seconds later, a soaking wet doctor calls us all back to the waterfall's tunnel.
* Silver's POV *
"You know I wus on fire once. It wuzn't pretty." Nikolai says while we follow Mason back to the waterfall. I am meanwhile trying to keep my head on straight while fighting these undead in these cramped quarters.
"We'll need these holes plugged up with these spikes." Mason orders while we fend of zombies between the waterfall and the bridge. I work fast, covering Nikolai while he smacks another spike in the wall with his hammer. Carly also hammers in spikes with Mason and Takeo covering her end.
"For Stalin!" Nikolai bellows as he chucks a burning Molotov at the undead. "Burn in Hell Satan's minions!"
"Follow me!" Mason shouts as he changes direction towards the waterfall. His FAMAS fires off with precision, taking out a few cadavers before his clip runs dry. Takeo shoots with his AK-74u while we enter the waterfall. Nikolai shoots with his own AK gun, spraying a stream of bullets wherever he looks. I'm not sure what Mason does, but we're all sent to the present. The zombies that were about to swarm us suddenly vanish, not being part of this time period. I breathe a sigh of relief, thankful that we don't have to face those undead. That's when Nikolai stumbles upon a radio from one of the explorers;
Gary: "Let's get out of here before spikes shoot out of the walls and the floors open up to a pit of lava!"
Brock: "This place is massive! The architecture is not what I expected to see. It's more of an interpretation-"
Gary: "What the hell's wrong with you? If this place doesn't kill us the freaking undead will. We are stuck inside some kind of trap-filled temple of death surrounded by a horde of undead and you are talking about the rugs not matching the curtains. If you don't-"
*STATIC*
Brock:"Well, this is unfortunate."
Gary:"I rest my case."
*STATIC*
Brock:"The walls are too slippery to climb. I can see a tube about halfway up the side of the well, but we can't reach it."
Gary:"Huh? What is that? I think something just swam past my leg."
Brock:"Where?"
Gary:"I dunno!"
Drowning and then static is heard.
* Luna's POV *
We're all now back in front of the temple when Richtofen presses a button on a radio at the base of the structure:
Brock:"We've made it inside the top of the temple. I can see an antichamber through a crack in the wall but there is no way to get inside, it's completely infused."
Gary:"If we had a stick of dynamite I could get us in there."
Brock:"Well unless you brought some I think we're not getting any further."
Gary:"I had some in my bag but dropped it when we were attacked by that horde of zombies. By the look of it out there, we're not gonna be able to stroll around looking for it."
Brock:"So close to the answer"
Gary:"We need to get the hell out of here before it's too late."
"Ve must charge up zhe cryshals. Zhou need to ring zhe gong's around zhe temple for zhem to charge up. Urry up vith et." Richtofen commands to us once we're back in the present. I nod and smash the first gong with the butt of my gun. I would really like to know how Richtofen knows about this place even though he said that he's never been here. Well, he could have visited this place once and forgot about it, I guess.
* Silver's POV *
Carly's MP5K sounds out as she fires at the cadavers. Nikolai uses his hammer to ring the next one, causing another crystal to glow. I blast away with my masterkey, creating more holes into the undead unfortunate to be near my range.
"For the Emperor!" Takeo cries out as he shoots with his AK-74u. Bullets tear holes into the undead, spraying blood and gore everywhere. Nikolai fires off with his FAMAS at everything that tries to take a swipe at him, yelling out taunts ending in "fuck you." Mason smashes another gong with the butt of his own FAMAS, charging up the last crystal. Once all the crystals are glowing, this odd symbol appears (Treyarch's Logo) for a second before a stick of dynamite lands at our feet.
* Luna's POV *
The sky turns dark as we're sent back to the eclipse again. Brock says he can use the dynamite to blow a hole in the temple when we give him the TNT sticks. Patrick fends off the zombies with his HK-21 while Tank uses his Kiparus.
"I'm gonna need another clip soon," the Marine Raider complains as he reloads his SMG. As I run the clip of my Stoner dry, Richtofen and Sam rush into the mudpit. Part of me would like to follow, but I can't go off and risk getting surrounded. Like on the boat.
"You brain-dead bastards aint gettin close!" I cry out as one zombie tries to swipe at me. My ballistic buries itself into the feminine zombie's chest and the corpse falls down. Suddenly this yellow-green ray bounces from several of the crystals, like a laser with mirrors. The beam bounces and splits before three lasers strike the giant meteorite atop the temple. The enormous space rock shrinks down until we can't see it anymore.
"Follow mein! Into ze temple!" Richtofen cries out as stairs suddenly appear below the ruined structure. All of us run after the doctor as undead chase after us. Samantha chucks a monkey and a doll down the steps in order to buy us ten seconds.
"Fend off ze zombies!" Richtofen orders us while kneeling by a wall. Tank wastes no time in going to the Pack-a-Punch, popping the M16 and my Stoner into the machine.
"Pump your fists into the air, raise a rebel howl. There's lots of undead out there, LET'S SEND THEM BACK TO HELL!" I grab my Hangover and immediately squeeze the trigger when facing the cadavers. Patrick pops in his HK-21 and Skorpion with Sam's Commando and Stoner while I cover both of them.
"It all ends so violently, I know. My sweet pareidolia. It all ends so painfully and slow, My pareidolia," Sam sings while she grabs her Predator and Hangover. "I might try to find my light tonight, Hide my sight from eyes I try to fight. My nine eyes of light die by the blight, Ride Wight knight unite my plight tonight. It all ends so violently, I know. My sweet pareidolia. It all ends so painfully and slow. My pareidolia."
"Die Die!" Tank yells as he shoots with his Skullcrusher. Patrick assists him with his H115 Oscellator, tearing bodies apart with its power. He even chucks two grenades down the temple stairs when the zombies start to crowd up.
Now I would like to apologize for Shangri La, more specifically the easter egg and the POV changes. Shangri La is like a smaller Nuketown, in my opinion. I almost didn't write Paradise because I was stumped: 10 Characters in that small of a map. How could I do it? Everything will be explained next chapter if you guys wish.
On another note, I'm looking for you guys to create some Naruto Gennin for my 'Longpaws of Konoha' story. Details are in the story for anyone who's interested. Just leave a comment with the character's description and I PROMISE to take a look at it.
