I AM BACK!

Took me long enough?

Yeah probably

I am so fucked, Samuel thought.

It's been hours since the gate closed on him. He has been walking around trying to find the Team RWBY and Summer, occasionally hiding from a wave of infected. Stealthily going from one ruined tent to another, he heard a crash. Looking at the direction of the sound, he saw one of the inner walls have fallen and the infected were pouring in.

He gritted his teeth, he HAS to find them now. Then, he heard the faint signs of shotgun sounds. Probably Yang's gauntlets, he hurried over there. Soon enough he saw a mighty big pile of infected, some even were lesser boss infected. He saw Ruby with a HIKS S300, Weiss with a Trailblazer, Yang with her shotgun gauntlets, Blake with a HVM-002 and Summer with her Sniper-Spear. He waved towards them, they jogged towards him.

"Good, finally found you guys." Samuel said in relief.

"Took you long enough." Yang commented.

"What's the hurry?" Summer asked.

"I heard the inner layer got overrun, we have to find who we can and get out of here!" He replied. Jogging back to the where he was from.

The group followed him through. After a nasty Regurgitator encounter, they went into the inner layer. The team of teenagers were horrified when they saw the absurd amount of bodies belonging to soldiers, refugees and infected. Samuel saw a few SAS operators within the piles, emphasizing they died fighting.

After passing by a horde, the group went inside the command center. Samuel was taken aback to see bodies of military officials, soldiers and the civilian scientists littered around. He muttered a curse before moving on, the group slowly following him. He saw a familiar glint of trooper armor on the ground and ran towards it.

Higgins had saw him, but could not stand up. Ted was slumped against a wall, injured with a big pile of dead infected surrounding him.

"Higgins!" Samuel called out. She lifted her head up weakly, smiled and coughed a bit.

He came by her side and applied first aid. After stabilizing her wounds, he went to Ted.

"Hang in there, bud." Samuel said as he pulled out a syringe.

"Finally, you're here. Higgins couldn't stop crying." Ted muttered. Higgins sat up, but wouldn't respond to that.

"Save your breath, you'll be up in no time." Samuel replied.

Then he heard it, it was eerily familiar. It was the damned savage necrosis from earlier, Samuel thought. This was bad timing.

"Damn it! It's here!" Samuel shouted. Team RWBY and Summer prepared their weapons.

It wasn't the necrosis, instead it was a Wicker. Just my luck, he thought.

Wickers were essentially failed experiments or a mutated Devastator. They were heavily resistant to fire and a little bit of shock rounds. To Samuel, it was an incredible slap in the face. As his two main weapons deals what it was resistant to, so he has a to use a Rancor Poisonclaw.

Samuel sighed, This is gonna suuuck.

And it did, Samuel kept getting hit by the fireballs the Wicker threw. So he patched himself up, the Remnant dwellers were faring better due to their aura enhanced agility. So after the Wicker was extinguished, Ted could walk and Higgins too.

They ran out of the command center, assisting the wounded operators. They ran to the Airpads housing transportations. Samuel went to the nearest one and opened the door. After laying Higgins to a seat and fastening her seatbelt, he went to the cockpit and prepared to fly. Team RWBY and Summer had also took care of Ted and was in their seats, seatbelts fastened.

Samuel looked up from the controls and saw a Zombie Mech shooting down a group of refugees escaping. He had to think fast before it set it sights on him. Taking off a few feet, he felt the ship shudder as bullets impacted against its plating. It didn't matter, as Samuel had already taken to the skies. After a few minutes, he let out a sigh of relief as he engaged auto-pilot. He went to cabin, Ruby was shuddering, Weiss was hyperventilating, Blake was shook, Yang was also, Summer was comforting Ruby, Higgins passed out from her injuries and Ted looked out the windows.

He looked at Ted, before sitting next to him.

"Where should we go?" Samuel asked.

"Probably the nearest military outpost." Ted replied, before straightening up.

"According to the GPS, that's a day away."

"This is so fucked."

"It is."

Ted couldn't be more wrong.

The Next Day

Higgins woke up with a jolt, finding herself in a transport ship. She shook her head, before massaging it. Using her Shockfield as a cane, she walked out. The first thing she noticed it was night, next was the ship crashed, the whole group was sitting over a campfire, and the last thing was she realized they were in a skyscraper.

Samuel noticed her and gave a smile.

"Hey. Up already?" He asked.

She gave a groan before sitting next to him.

"Be my pillow." She groaned.

"What?"

Too late, she was passed out in his shoulder.

There it is. I will probably bring JNPR into this.

Anyway, bai.
