Okay everyone, Live from 12/31/2011 this will be the LAST chapter of 2011.
"It's mein. Mein body. When I was six years old." Samantha manages to say. "But… I died… how can I be here? EDWARD! WHAT HAPPENED THAT FATEFUL NIGHT? YOU KNOW! YOU ALWAYS KNOW, EVEN WHEN NO ONE ELSE KNEW WHERE YOU ENDED UP, YOU ALWAYS KNEW WHAT TO DO! TELL ME EDVARD! TELL MEIN!" Samantha holds a knife up to Edward's neck; we all hear her angry breathing in our helmets as well as her growls.
"Sam…" "Tell me Edvard! sag mir die Wahrheit! (tell me the truth)!" "I will link this radio up to our communications system, so we all can hear it."
((Radios here, skip if you've already heard them before))
Dr. Groph: (Static) "Eagle's Nest. This is Griffin Station. We have an update. Over."
Edward Richtofen: "Dr Groph, have you made any progress?"
Dr. Groph: "Yes Doctor. The machine is ready and awaiting the conduit"
Edward Richtofen: "(Laughing) Very good, I will proceed with Operation Shield and join you shortly"
Dr. Groph: "Security Protocol 935"
Edward Richtofen: "Yes, I will dispose of Dr. Maxis and that little brat personally. Do not. Touch. Anyth-" (Static)
*STATIC*
Dr. Groph: (Static) "-tor Schuster, Report."
Dr. Schuster: "The tanks are full and the shields are down. The machine is humming nicely."
Dr. Groph: "Good, but what of the shipment?"
Dr. Schuster: "Most are buried outside of the base, the live ones we've sent back to Kustover Posten"
Dr. Groph: "Excellent, then there is nothing left but to wait for Dr. Richtofen's return"
Dr. Schuster: "Perhaps this is a good time to work on my low gravity putting in the bio-dome"
Dr. Groph: "Yes, I did believe that time-"
(Alarm sounds "Intruder Detected - Receiving Bay")
Dr. Groph: "Security, Report"
(Static)
Dr. Groph: "Can you repeat?"
Dr. Schuster: "She's coming right towards the-"
(Girl's scream heard)
Dr. Groph: "Get her!"
Dr. Schuster: "Get back here!"
(Girl's scream retreating, running footsteps heard)
Dr. Groph: "Nein! Do not let her-"
(A loud bang, smashing glass and hissing gas is heard)
Dr. Groph: "Dammit, Dr Schuster, find a way to get her out of the pyramid, I will contact Edward, let him know there's been an incident" (Static)
*STATIC*
Edward Richtofen: (Static)"How did she end up there? No matter, I know what must be done, in the meantime see if you can find Dr. Maxis, perhaps he can talk some sense into her."
Dr. Groph: "Did you not deal with him already?"
Edward Richtofen: "Yes, but if the child ended up here, then Maxis must be somewhere too. Find him."
Dr. Groph: "How do you propose-"
Edward Richtofen: "Dr Groph I cannot do everything for you. I leave this in your capable hands. There is much to be done."
Dr. Groph: "Yes Doctor"
Edward Richtofen: "Oh and Groph?"
Dr. Groph: "Yes?"
Edward Richtofen: "I'd keep an eye out for an evil looking dog while you're at it" (Static)
((Okay stop skipping now))
"Zombies! We gotta move!" Nikolai suddenly bellows out. We look to the Soviet and see him chuck a grenade at a huge swarm of cadavers. Samantha tosses a black hole bomb, opening up a purple portal and sucking the zombies into it.
"It will not hold for long. We must get back to the land of the Apple Pies!" "Eat it gutter-slugs!" Tank cries, shooting with his M16 before loading his last half-clip of ammo. "Fuck! I'm on my last clip here!"
"Hey anyone want to trade guns? Mine has full ammo, I swear." Nikolai's FAMAS clicks as he doesn't have another drum to load into the rifle. Both of them curse as the two smash at a zombie with the butts of the guns.
"American Raider, take this HK-21!" Richtofen throws the German MG to the American while the doctor pulls out his China Lake. The Marine Raider leaps above the heads, gracefully catches the MG and squeezes the trigger, yelling out a battlecry as zombies fall.
"Russian, take my Kiparus!" Takeo bayonets one zombie while tossing the Russian bear his SMG. Nikolai looks at it for a second as it spins towards him. The drunken Soviet fumbles a little, but manages to grab the gun in time to blow a zombies head off. Richtofen fires off his grenade launcher and Takeo tosses a grenade of his own while we all make our way back into the laboratories.
"To the land of the Apple Pies!"
"Get those M60's up! Watch the left flank! Double time marines, get your asses moving!" I hear Woods yell out to the troops. "Delta squad, get those mortars up! Golf Squad, cover with those riot shields! Charlie Squad, where the hell is that armor I ordered?"
"Woods!" Mason calls out, shooting at one zombie about to snag the Sarg, blowing a head off.
"Mason; am I glad to see you! We lost the west and east flank and we're about to get swarmed any second!" Woods yells back, shooting with his Commando. "Ammo crates over there if you're low, or swap out a gun if needed. Guns aren't the problem here; we need your team out to turn the tide on these fuckers!" Patrick, Tank and Nikolai rush over to the crates of ammo and weapons while handing guns back to Doc and Tak. Samantha, I notice, pulls out a monkey bomb and starts to wind it up.
"Listen kid, playing with a toy monkey isn't going to help. That Stoner-63 there will." I'm sure Woods would've slapped the toy out of her hands if he didn't have to deal with the undead. Sam doesn't even listen to him as she chucks the monkey bomb into the air with a Martyoshka doll following. The music starts playing, attracting the zombies like a magnet. Tank fires off a grenade from his M16 while Patrick and Carly chuck their own frags.
"Now THAT Never Gets Old. Ooh-Rah!" Tank howls as the combine explosives cut the active body numbers in half.
"Ooh-rah for marine Dempsey," Nikolai cries out randomly, firing with an area 51's AK-47 with a flamethrower underneath.
"One grenade coming right up!" I hear a female voice cry out. Gwen rips the pin off a frag and chucks it into the horde. She then looks at me with satisfaction on her face before going to an M60.
"Get ready for a surprise." BOOM goes the monkey bomb. "Good that fucking song was giving me a headache." Nikolai complains as he runs his only AK-47 clip dry. The Russian lumbers over to a few zombies and unleashes the flames from underneath the gun. "Taste the Soviet's fire hellspawn! HA HA HA! Burn in hell from the might of Mother Russia!" Without the monkey to keep the cadavers distracted, I chuck a Gersch device into the field and allow myself to smirk as the portal opens up, also thankful that it sucks the zombies away from Nikolai.
"Now time to try out the QED." The speaker throws what looks to be some sort of futuristic mini-nuke with a yellow light into another mob of undead.
"So what does that do?" Woods asks, already amazed at what the Gersch Device produced. The speaker looks at him and says three words: "I don't know."
"The effect is completely random: It could replicate the effects of Project Mercury, spawn a live Martyoshka doll, a normal steinhand grenade, automated sentry turret, Gatling gun, or something else." The QED lands near the zombies and a sentry gun appears, immediately targeting the undead. Woods runs towards it as well as the marines near that area. "It scans for life readings and movement. If it doesn't have life readings, yet has movement; then said target will be mowed down. Or so I hypothesis…" The man then grabs an AK-47 and shoots at the other undead, Samantha joining in with her own AK-47, just as a few hell hounds suddenly spawn.
"Die Demon Fluffy!" Sam cries out as she knifes the skull of one fiendish pup. Then she grabs her own QED and spins the top, the light glowing green.
Well that's that then. Last Chapter of 2011. I've got the conclusion already planned out and the ending as well. But I've got a question; should the ending go out with a BOOM (exposives), heroic escape (escape with our lives), lucky escape (all seems lost, but something happens and they turn the tides) because I've got several endings, but I don't know which one to pick.
Thanks to all of those that have commented, put me on alerts, Favorited my story and gave me good comments. Now it's time to turn a new leaf and start with a clean slate. I said CLEAN Richtofen, WITHOUT blood on it.
