Chapter 4: Sea of the Dead /Army of Humanity
Kyle and Luke both made their way through the halls stepping over broken benches and anything left that might have been human. They were unaware of the carnage-taking place below them and as they walked their two comrades were being engorged upon by a mass of what used to be human.
"This was a big mistake coming here." Luke said finally breaking the uncomfortable silence.
"Tell me about it." Kyle said as he stepped over a downed trash receptacle. "This shouldn't have even been classified as a mission. They should've just sent in a re-co naissance team in and had them label it biohazard."
They continued walking in a careful silence looking for any sign of danger or any live member of the team. Luke made his way over to one of the stores. He turned back to Kyle before speaking his thoughts.
"I think this might be the place. The scanners are picking up a lot of heat readings coming from the back of this store."
Kyle nodded and both of them proceeded to head into the store. They heard the distinct sound of crunching and tearing and could tell it was coming from the back of the store near the changing areas.
"This is it. No telling how many could be behind that wall so I'd say be ready with a secondary weapon." Kyle checked his weapon and with a click made his way over to one of the two doors. With a kick the door swung open and the two rushed into the now dark room. The slice of last that cast itself into the room landed upon the standing figure of Steven Jennings. One of Michael's companions on the S3 unit.
Luke ran forward and laid his hand upon one of the man's shoulders. "Good Job man you took out all of these things without help." As Luke complimented the member of the team Steven slowly turned around sluggishly revealing his half eaten face and his jaw hanging by a thread on the right side.
Luke stumbled back as Steven grabbed his shoulders and opened what was left of his jaws to bite into his flesh. Luke closed his eyes preparing for the searing pain of teeth being sunken into his shoulder. He awaited it with malice until he heard the gunshot of a Desert Eagle magnum fire. He then opened his eyes revealing the bloody stump of the head, which belonged to the man known as Steven Jennings. Luke pushed the body of him quickly and looked up as Kyle stepped out of the shadows his smoking magnum in his right hand.
"Are you done or are you planning on using him to keep you warm and safe?" Kyle smirked and put his hand down to help up his almost fallen comrade.
"Thanks... I really need humor in my life at a time like this." Luke said shakily as he got to his feet. They both walked out of the room and made they're way out back into the dim hall.
"We're going to have to check the chemical content in the area." Kyle said as they got into the hall.
"That represented in green right?" Luke said as he took his goggles off from around his neck and placed them over his eyes.
"Right" Kyle said taking his off of his forehead and as well placing them over his eyes.
They both pressed a small button on the sides of the goggles and gasped slightly as the entire area of the mall lit up in green.
"That is not good." Luke said putting the goggles back around his neck.
"Not at all" Kyle said. Lets head back to Mario and Darren. Hopefully they've fended off most of the threats for now. They both started walking back to the original area where they left the last two members.
As they got closer they heard the sounds of moaning getting louder. They looked over the railing and saw a living sea of rot and decomposition accompanied by loud moaning and dragging of feet.
"Shit!" Kyle yelled looking away. "This is bullshit you know that right!? We're not getting enough for this...this...Bullshit!!!"
"Calm down already we don't need to freak out. We have to contact the chopper and tell him to land on the roof."
Kyle looked down at the mass of gore. "That's the problem, Mario was the only one who could do that!"
Luke looked over the ledge at Mario's half eaten body. He noticed on his hip he had a radio and a communicator. "Damnit! Then one of us is gonna have to go get it." Kyle then leaned over edge and pointed to the growling mess. "Yeah problem I'd loved to see either one of us come back alive. Plus, we can't throw a grenade because it'll destroy the radio."
Luke looked around trying to assess the situation.
* * *
Later they agreed that both would descend to the lower level. While one went for the radio the other would draw attention away. They agreed on who would draw attention and who would run. Rock, Paper, Scissors.
"Ok best three out of five." Luke said, "This time I can't"
"I told you for the last time I cover you run why, would you not want to run?"
"Oh yeah."
They started shimmying down their previously placed wires. Kyle began firing his magnum into the sea of living dead.
"Common... You want some," Kyle screamed at them as they began to swarm beneath him.
Luke fell the ground with a thud next to Mario's body.
"Kyle I got it we can get out of..." Luke suddenly went silent as he heard a sicken thud against the wall in front of him. Another and another that wall sudden splintered away as a massive him like creature stepped into view. Luke's eyes gazed up at an eight-foot tyrant.
"Oh shit!"
The tyrant grasped Luke by the back of the neck and lifted him ten feet into the air over its head. Luke kicked at its head frantically. Shots rang out from Kyle's MP5. Severing the Tyrants arm in a flail of bone chips and blood spatters. Luke fell to the ground gasping for air; the tyrants arm still gripping the back of his neck.
The Tyrant began and slow advance to Kyle. Luke quickly pulled out his auto-shotgun and proceeded to fire several shells into the tyrants back. The Tyrant reached to it's back and dropped to one knee it what seemed to Kyle like pain. Kyle followed up by firing a quick burst into its head. The Tyrant slumped over and lay still.
Kyle covered Luke's ascend up the wire then quickly made his way up himself as the area they have just left was quickly engulfed by zombies.
Luke turned on the radio and began to frantically yell into the radio. "Chopper one! This is team Seta! Repeat this is team Seta!" He received nothing but static for a second before a rough voice could be heard through it. "The mall...s' being engulfed...I...can get to...ou through...th...roof" The sound was then nothing but static.
"Well you heard the man lets get to the roof. They both checked their weapons and began the treacherous journey to the roof of the building.
End Chapter 4
Author's Notes: I know I know I haven't worked on this since like forever. I just started up today thank god the chapters to this thing don't take very long to write. I'll have chapter 5 up really soon.
Thanks to Andy for writing some of the part with the Tyrant and for harassing me into finishing this.
