When hell gets too full, it started to pile out on earth.
CHAPTER TWENTYNINE
Clymore shoved. But I shoved back harder, forcing him back towards the window. He looked behind him and suddenly he figured out what I was trying to do. He pulled back and tried to spin around me.
I cut him off and punched him in the face. He stumbled back, barely stopping himself before he hit the window. But I fixed that real quick. I ran, full tilt, and tackled him, right through the window. I quickly grabbed onto the outer ledge and felt a heavy tug on my leg. I looked down and saw Clymore hanging on as tightly as possible.
He started to climb up my leg. I fixed that too. I took my other foot and began to kick him in the face. Finally, he lost his grip and fell, about 7 stories to the ground. I heard a slight SPLAT, when he hit the ground. I let out a breath and started to pull myself back in through the window.

Blazer was leading them all up the stairs. They quickly came to a door, which took them to the roof. They ran out and found the helicopter waiting. But no pilot. Kristy ran up to the helicopter. Blazer and Lara split out and looked around the roof, but it was basically flat, so there wasn't very many places to hide up there. Blazer walked up beside an AC unit and suddenly he found him self on the ground.
Lara saw him hit the ground. "W-" Suddenly she was on the ground too. She tried to turned over and yell at Kristy, but she couldn't speak. The words… they just wouldn't come out. A dark figure was walking up behind Etain and Fordo, as Kristy looked inside the helicopter.
Suddenly the figure grabbed Fordo, and put a gun to his head. Etain let out a scream and backed up to the helicopter. Kristy ran spun around and pointed at pistol at the figure. Denis, Clymore's Second Right Hand Man, shook his head at Kristy. "Don't do it. Or the boy dies as well…"
He started to move around her, towards the pilots side of the copter. "Back away!" He shouted at the two girls. They didn't move, but they didn't advance either. Denis got into the copter, pulling Fordo with him.
"And now, I shall leave you all to die!" He looked at his wrist computer and pressed a few buttons. Suddenly an alarm went off. Red lights began to flash. An electronic voice began to say, "Warning. The Self Destruct System has been activated. All personnel, please begin evacuation of the building and surrounding areas. 20 minutes remaining."
Kristy aimed carefully. Denis shoved the boy in front of him. Damn. It was no use. He started up the helicopter. Suddenly, Blazer and Lara ran past Kristy and Etain. The Helicopter began to lift up into the air. Blazer and Lara leaped up and grabbed on to the landing bars. "Lara! Blazer!" Kristy shouted, panicking. Lara waved at her. "Go get Matt. We'll get our ride back."
They began to climb into the helicopter as it turned away, over the water. Kristy made a face. "Shit." She said flatly. "Warning. The Self Destruct System has been activated. All personnel, please begin evacuation of the building and surrounding areas. 19 minutes remaining."
Kristy touched Etain's arm and motioned for her to follow.

I made my way through the halls, looking for the exit. "Warning. The Self Destruct System has been activated. All personnel, please begin evacuation of the building and surrounding areas. 18 minutes remaining."
Shit. My time was running out, and I was lost in a labyrinth of halls. I turned down another hall, moving as quickly as possible. There had to be a door… or even a window somewhere. I raced down the hall, as the voice repeated the warning. I turned the corner and slammed into a man. We both stumbled backwards. I quickly stood up. The man was crawling towards me, it's arm extended, moaning in hunger.
I ran around him and to the door behind it. Stupid move. I opened it and a million arms all reached for me. I stumbled backwards and ran back down the hall. Dead End. "Shit!" I flipped around and ran the corner and back the way I came, the undead following me the whole way.
I ran through the maze again. Suddenly I saw Kristy and Etain ahead. Kristy ran over to me. "Matt…"
I shook my head. "Not the best time. Hordes of undead behind us." I took her hand and Etain led the way back to the door, they came through. I slammed it behind us and locked it. Moments later, the undead began to pound on the door, wanting out.
I turned to Kristy. Alright. "So, Where's our ride?"
"Warning. The Self Destruct System has been activated. All personnel, please begin evacuation of the building and surrounding areas. 15 minutes remaining."
"I really hate that voice."
"Our ride has been hijacked. Blazer and Lara are on it." Kristy made a face. "Literally."
I rolled my eyes. "That's so totally like them." We raced down the short hall and entered the stairwell and raced up them.

Blazer followed Lara as they climbed up into the helicopter. Denis glanced back at them and his face exploded. "God damn you, brats! I can't get rid of you!" He pointed his gun back at them and fired off a few rounds.
Lara and Blazer ducked behind nothing but air, but they couldn't fire back. He had Fordo, tied up, unable to move, or help in anyway, sitting right beside him. Lara gritted her teeth and pointed her gun at the control panel and fired a couple of rounds into it. Denis turned and fired a round at them as he tried to keep control of the copter.
It began to shake and shutter. Blazer and Lara grabbed hold of handle bars on the ceiling of the copter. "That, was a really dumb Idea." Blazer commented. Then he smiled at her. "I like your style." Suddenly Denis stood up. He had put on earplugs and dark goggles. He reached down on his belt and took out a grenade and dropped it at Lara's feet. Blazer gasped and tried to push her to the edge of the copter. But it was too late. It exploded in a flash of bright white light and an extremely loud ringing sound.
Then neither of them, or fordo could hear anything. It was pure quietness. Blazer checked Lara. She was still there. She nodded at him, informing him that she was fine, pointing at her ears. She couldn't hear him. He nodded at her. Neither could he. It was a flash-bang. Blazer looked up. Denis walked over to them, Pistol in hand.

"Warning. The Self Destruct System has been activated. All personnel, please begin evacuation of the building and surrounding areas. 10 minutes remaining."
I made a face. "I really do hate computer AI Voices…"
We watched the helicopter as it flew around the sky. Suddenly it jerked downward. The rear rotor suddenly just stopped spinning. The main rotor started to slowdown as well. "Hey.." I said, under my breath. I looked over at Kristy and Etain, who were holding they're breath.
"Hey, that is not good!"
Suddenly gunfire rang out, as the rotors stopped all together. Behind us, unknowingly, the door that was the entrance to the roof, began to give way to the undead on the other side.

Blazer barely heard the gunshots as he pushed and pulled as he and Denis fought. Blazer kicked Denis in the right leg. He started to wobble and lost his grip on the gun. It dropped to the ground. Denis brought up his fist and clocked Blazer in the chin. He fell backwards and Denis scrambled to grab the gun. Lara stood up and kicked him in the ribs.
Denis started to roll towards the edge of the copter. Lara picked up her foot and gave him a shove off the edge and he fell out. Blazer stood up, only to fall back down. His hearing was coming back to him. In a loud rush of wind. Lara helped him up. "Come on. We've got to do something. This thing is going to crash!"
