Synopsis: It's The Last Of Us if the plotline was on metaphorical drugs (ergo the title the Meth Of Us. Yes, I know it's a poor PJ). Basically, it's a perspective of an OC on the apocalyptic world he is in, mixed with RPG elements.

"Oh god ! another gamer fanfic who will overhype the OC till basically, it's a chad conquering everything while he also tries to be a fucking edge lord. Now he is trying to use reverse psychology on us"

No please just give it a read. I promise to explain my thought process and keep it grounded as much as I can. T ^ T

Disclaimer: I will indeed try to incorporate RPG elements but I'll try to make sure it doesn't seem too gamified. I did this because you need a reason to write a story. The way I see it TLOU could have only one ending and the game showed it to us. Believe it or not, there is no alternate ending to it plus it's such a short story. Joel & Ellie go through a treacherous journey which bonds them. Joel dooms 'humanity'. Years later, RIP Joel, badass Ellie goes on a revenge trip, Ends up ruining her mental health loses everything in the process finally gets a bitter closure. The world is as bleak as it was.

Now tell me how can I write this beautifully considering I am not even a writer? Hence I need the plot story to do a shroom trip and warp the world so that a story is even possible.

Finally, All characters belong to Naughty Dogs. Fuxk it, they can even have my characters.

Chapter-1 FUBAR

*thud* *thud* *pant* *thud*

"FUBAR! You know this, I know this and Every-fuckin-body knows it. This mission is FUBAR. We need immediate extraction. We won't hold out, we're fuckin done."

Alvarez leaned heavily on the huge concrete block side of the wall. It had probably been ripped apart from its 'beloved' remaining wall and thrown clear whenever the buildings in the area had collapsed decades ago, all thanks to the higher-up's decisions.

He sat down while taking cover behind it. 'Great thinking our ancestors? older generation? If it were not for this terrain it would be equivalent to suicide. But then again if it were not for this terrain we wouldn't be even here! SO NO THANKS, GUYS. '

"Say something will you? at least how about, "Hey just don't end up dying on me Alvarez or at least you'll get rid of my dirty magazine stash under my bed if I don't make it". You got any of that for me ?" He said as he looked at his buddy who was crouched in a kneeling position holding a SCAR-L in a perfect textbook format, Using the edge of the ' wall fragment ' as base support and shooting in short bursts of three in the distance of where weird creepy noises of *aiyaaaaaaaaaaaa-uyaaaaa-huoayaaaaaaaa...* with intermittent noises of *clicks* were originating from.

His compadre had jet black hair styled in the standard caesar cut with a very faint stubble above his upper lip indicating his young age. He had a long obscure scar at the cheekbone of his right cheek and a short but slightly more prominent scar at the left side of his temple in line with his eyebrows. He had sharp eyebrows, a European skin complexion and an angular jaw. The most striking part of his visage was his eyes, not particularly the eye colour that was the most commonly dark brown that could be seen in any fifth person you would come across. What was the most striking was his focused gaze, if eyes could kill; many would have died to those eyes that radiated a killer instinct.

He had the same uniform with the same gear, the same assault rifle and the same unit patch as Alvarez only thing different about him at all was that he carried a 'katana' i.e a Japanese one-handed sword, strapped to his back. All thanks to one of their previous mission where his machete had broken up but as luck would have it he encountered a fuckin sword.

'Jeez! Guy had some luck on him. Imagine if I had a sword as a melee weapon. Girls would totally fall for me'

"Shut up Alvarez. You talk too much. You're not gonna die to this. Your type ends up dying because of a cardiac arrest after they get rejected by the girl they like. "

Suddenly the screams of the infected, the gunshots from their unit members, the sounds of explosives and the collision of shrapnel against objects came into clear focus to Alvarez. His ears were ringing from too much feedback.

"Hey J, I had forgotten this was a fuckin battlefield for a moment. " Alvarez sounded serious as he took a kneeling position and began to shoot. "Even with my fuckin blessing our chances are bleak Hermano, we need air support, the unit is getting hammered ".

Both of them heard their captain who was shouting orders " we have to hold it down for a few minutes more. Air support is on the way."

"Well, Al looks like you got your wish. It's now or never we don't have enough ammo we'll have to get in close even the captain knows. May your 'Saintess Mikael' protect us, though gotta say she ain't the best at picking a name." J said as he took a grenade unpinned it and chucked it to the location of the infected who were closing in rapidly.

" Shut up you motherfucker, she is an Archangel and only the Grand Cardinal has witnessed her glory briefly. You're gonna end up dying as a heretic one of these days.

In the name of All-father may the angel of the light guide me

through this dark passage of time.

May the brave overcome the blasphemous.

May the souls of the fallen find their way back.

May the fabric of your protection shroud us.

For light is truth and truth is forever - Devout defence. "

J saw the crystal armoured turtle tattoo on his friend's right arm light up in a golden hue. He nodded to his friend who had cast his rare blessing.
"Let's go guys. CLEAN THEM OUT !..."

*clear those murder holes...*

*ooh-rah...*

*DIE...you fuckers...*

*thud* *thud* *thud* *the-da-da-da-the-da-da-the-da...(gunshot noises)*

*click...click...click...click...*

*aiya...ughhhhhoooooooooo...*

*bwaoya !*

*thud* *thud* *thud* *thud*

*THUD !* *THUD !* *THUD !*

.

.

*THUD !*

*thud* *thud* *thud*

*Haaah...* *pant*

'The ceiling. It's the dirty ceiling again. ' J sat up on the bed his legs touching the floor. He rustled his hair which had gone unruly even though Tess gave him a haircut just a month ago. He looked sideways at the window ceiling spotting a spider struggling to make a web.
'Don't give up little spider. Fight ON '
as he made up a clenched fist.

*thud* "Jeez, would anyone open up for me or what ? The amount of time I have knocked now, pretty sure it would be enough to bring on a horde of clickers. " came a muffled voice of a woman from the distance.

"Coming. Just wait a second ". J stood up as he walked to the door he caught his reflection in the mirror. He was wearing a black tank top with a black track. He had certainly grown a little at least 3 inches even the stubble as his facial hair was more clear.
'Probably 5'6 huh? '

He opened up the door to see Tess who had an annoyed look on her face. She was bruised as well. Her right cheek had a distinct red marked bruise and her left side had small cuts that had bled a little.

" You look like shit J . What took you so long ? " she asked.

" Like Nephew like Aunt. You look banged up as well. Well come on in my lady, I apologise for making you wait. Welcome to our humble abode. " He bowed slightly and made a welcoming gesture as if he was a butler.

*Hmph* " ...Cute," she said in a sarcastic manner. J closed the door behind her while she dragged a chair out slightly and sat on it watching a guy who was sleeping on the sofa. He was wearing a dirty dull green t-shirt with folded-up sleeves, and dull grey slightly cut-up pants. On his right hand, he had a broken watch. He had decent grey hair mixed up in his original black hair.

*tch* she sneered a little and then took up a glass and bottle of Rum from the Table.

"Wake up sleeping beauty the prince has returned." he lightly kicked the side of Joel's leg.

"I was already up kid," he replied while his eyes were still closed.

"Really then why didn't you open up for Tess? She was having a meltdown ."

"Oi... I wasn't" she cried out.

"I was waiting for you to open it. Wasn't feeling like moving. I am up now. " he said as he sat on the sofa.

' What are you a sloth? ' J went to pick up the med-kit for Tess that was placed on the stool right next to the old TV.

"Where were you, Tess? "

"West end district. We had a drop to make. " She was interrupted as J came up to her and took away her glass and threw the contents in the nearby sink. He then placed a glass of water for her.

"Well, that's an absolute waste of some fine alcohol. "

"Let me see that bruise ". He dabbed a clean cloth with some anti-septic liquid from the bottle and lightly started to dab it on her injuries.

"Anyways Tess, we, WE had a drop to make. " Joel pointed to himself and her.

"Yeah well, you wanted to be left alone remember? J, I am not a fragile little doll you know. Just finish it. "

"And what leave you a scar on your face? No, ma'am. Here let me just apply a band-aid on this and you're done. "

"J, you fucker it better not be that panda band-aid. I'll stab you. "

"tch...tch... It's an apocalyptical world we live in Tess. Let me just go ahead and raid the only drug store in this quarantine zone to get a regular band-aid for you and end up getting Joel and myself shot over it by the 25 soldiers that are guarding every square inch of that premise.

look...look...it's not that bad. Here, you seem " he tried to muffle his laughter as much as he could.

"You seem cute Tess. Trust me that band-aid looks good on you. What say you, Joel? "

"Looks fine to me as well " Joel added in with a smirk.

Tess was looking angrily at J. "Well, she even looks like a pissed-off panda. Cute but fuckin deadly."

"That's it, you're dead you hear me. " She leapt off her chair and practically pounced on him. He fell down on the floor while supporting Tess's weight on him. She started to shake his collar which involuntarily started him to bob his head.

"What did you call me a PANDA? I'll show you a pissed-off PANDA alright! "

"As much as I appreciate the slapstick comedy. Guys, could we discuss business now? Let me make a guess here, the whole deal went south and the client made off with our smoke bombs and the first-aid kits. It's also the reason you are roughed up? " Joel commented as he placed his hand on his chin.

"Great deduction holmes, except the deal went without a hitch. C'mon you know my blessing even though it's not awakened. It's fuckin useful. We got more than enough ration cards and ammo that will last us a month at least. I held back on the first-aid kits, sold him more of the smoke bombs and secondary stuff. Medical supplies are the most fuckin valuable it's not nearly worth enough of some ammo or ration cards. I told him to return with a small bottle of 'Aqua Benedicta' and I would sweeten the deal. One that would be worth the trouble. "

J whistled from beneath as she was still sitting on him. "That shit is fuckin expensive Tess ."

"It's worth the trouble you know it, J. It's the only thing that is close to that, and you know it common folks like us can never get it. This is literally a life-saver, if we could get three of it we are sorted. I also need you to contact Alvarez, ask him to verify this dude Harold, and whether he really is a part of the Aquarius parish. "

"Three? Jeez, Tess talk about ambition. Even with J around, we'll never be able to land that deal. Also, he seems kind of suspicious if he says he is a part of it why the fuck would he trade us for these kits? "

"Maybe he needs it for personal use, maybe for someone he knows. Like I said that stuff is expensive it's not like they would waste it on some nobody." she replied back.

"We'll sort this mess later. Tell me if the deal was A-okay who roughed you up? Also, could you get off of me? "

"Nope, firstly this is your punishment. Second, you can thank Robert for this " as she pointed to the place where the band-aid was applied. "Some chumps, decided to jump me on my way back. When I finally made them talk they took Robert's name."

" Robert? Like our Robert? Then again it isn't so surprising always knew that guy wasn't exactly trustworthy " Joel replied in a calm manner.

" Well unlike Joel colour me surprised never knew that little fuckin weasel even had the guts to go after you guys. Don't worry Tess, I'll waste that snake for turning its fangs towards your direction."

Tess looked down at J and then towards Joel . "let's go and catch ourselves a snake then? " She got up and gave her hand to J to get up.

Joel's eyes slanted slightly " You know where he is right now? "

She nodded. " He is at the old warehouse in Area 5. Can't say for how long though ."

There was a sinister grin on Joel " Well, I'm ready now. Yeah? "

"We go through the checkpoint 3. You know the drill no guns except J. "

J had gone back to his room. He appeared behind Tess wearing military pants tucked in his boots and a black T-shirt that had something written in English mixed with what looked like Japanese. The first three letters spelt 'Leo' on the backside of the shirt there was a pattern of colourful Lion beneath which the 'The Emperor' was written in red colour.

He was holding a Beretta M9A3, he inserted the mag pulled the slider back and put it into the holster that was strapped to his right leg.

"You really love that shirt huh? "

"It's my favourite ."

"Let's go guys, Joel ! , J ! "

Joel walked out of the door, followed by Tess and finally J who locked the door and tossed the keys to Joel. They started walking downstairs.

"Here you go Joel, new ID's for you and me. Nothing such as being too cautious. " J was cracking his fingers and neck while walking behind them.

' It's grey. Why is the sky always so fuckin grey? '

"We got a lot of time before curfew hits. But out here it's always unpredictable. Never know when they change it up." Joel said.

"Yeah, you can thank the fireflies for that change in schedule. Restless little terrorist fuckers. Instead of putting holes in the infected, they wage war against the authority. Thinking shit will change if they take over. Nothing changes here except what happened back in your time - 'ORTUS'. "

"Yeah, I used to think that our lives were a fuckin-tragedy but now I realise it has become a god-damn game. " Joel replied with a slight bitterness in his voice.

"Be careful with your words Joel before you get yourself proclaimed a heretic. That phrase is out of its time. " Tess added to their conversation.

"They aren't so narrow-minded he can say that unless he is standing in front of their actual leaders. "

"Look at that J, ration line hasn't opened yet. Must be running low on food again. "

'When aren't they running low on food? '

"Attention: citizens are required to carry their ID at all times. Compliance with city personnel is mandatory. People having no ID will be questioned and detained, any harbouring heretics will be detained, any promoting false faith will be detained, and any supporting fireflies will be detained. "

"Sir, I ask you to kneel down and raise your hands behind your heads. It's just a regular check. Nothing at all.

.

.

But I ain't infected. I swear I ain't infected.

.

Then it should be no problem for you to do as we say unless you got something to hide.

*ah* *toom...toom...toom...*

*more gunshots*. He fucking shot Milton. Fucking check him, he needs immediate help. Take Milton to the medical centre & Fucking scan that DUDE!

It's confirmed he was infected.

SHIT.

.

.

.

"

"You hear that more people are turning up infected. This zone is going down soon enough. I can feel it. "

"What all this means is that Tess more people are sneaking out illegally. What do you expect? like you said ration line hasn't opened yet. People need food to survive. What do you think J ? You think this zone is going down as well ?"

"Quarantine zones are FUBAR anyways. It doesn't matter if you are inside the wall or outside, it only holds a difference for the higher-ups in the chain, those who allocate resources have the most say in how things are run, those are the people who want to do more than simply live while people like us focus on trying to live more than a few months and people below us focus on surviving the next day. "

"And that we can all agree on my friend. " Joel glanced back at J who was still walking behind them with his hands in his pockets.

"Yo, Joel, Tess what's up ? " a young guy called as they were walking.

"What's up J ? " he proceeded to give a dap to J.

"Nothin' what's up bro? "

"Heard they took Marianne. "

"What happened? " Tess asked

"Snatched her in the middle of the night. They believed her to be a firefly. Do you believe that shit? "

"Better not talk about this in public. " Joel warned him.

"See ya' man. Be careful. " J said.

"You too bro . " as the guy walked away from them.

A few minutes later they were at the checkpoint. "Hey J, you're up . " she said. As all of them stood in line at the checkpoint

"Got you. "

" ID sir. Also, state your purpose ." the guard asked him as their turn came up. He gave the guard his ID and also his gun that the guard was eyeing.

"Military ID. Spl. ops? Uh, aren't you too young though? "

"Yeah bro, you'd get a seizure if you ever looked up when I started. Plus I didn't make that spot I was assigned to it. The situation outside is a shit show, I was a spare bruh. "

"Damn, man, I can't even imagine the outside. The situation with the fireflies already gets me, good that you made it into the reserve though. So you visiting a friend or what? " He asked while returning his ID and his gun.

"Yup. Pretty much. Here to visit someone. Also, these guys are with me ." he said as he pointed to Tess and Joel.

"Your IDs ma'am . " she nodded and gave both of their IDs

"You're clear. Have a nice visit. " J thanked him. As all of them moved forward suddenly an explosion occurred in the distance.

"Oh fuck! "

"Get outta' here. Go, go, go. close it up!

.

.

.

fireflies! Oh, fuck! shoot them up. *the-da-da-da-the-da-da-the-da...* *more gunshots*

.

.

Call for backup! Don't let them escape."

J swiftly pulled out his Beretta and pulled the hammer on it he was ready to shoot.

" J, Let's go this is not your fight they'll handle it we need to get the hell out of here. " she grabbed his arms and hinted him to run.

"Fuck ! let's go, go. "

He ran at a fast pace following Joel and Tess to a building.

"Fuckin Fireflies! They're gonna close up all the checkpoints now " Joel slammed a fist to the wall.

"You got a cut, Joel. Here, patch it up. " Tess handed him some gauze and cloth.

"So now what we take the outside route or do we let Robert go? Personally, I don't care. We can call it a day and go home after all where would he even hide in this zone? He can't run from us. "

"No, we catch him today. It's a matter of principle J. If we don't make an example of him others will take us for granted. That's the last thing I want. " she said.

"Well lead the way boss, in that case". She nodded back.

" Hey, Tess! You saw what happened out there ? " a woman who was leaning against the wall called out to her.

"Yeah, I was out there and saw it real close in HD and all. How's the east tunnel looking ? " the woman snickered at her twisted humour. "It's clear. I just used it, no patrols either. Where are you off to? "

"Just going to pay Robert a visit. "

"You too? huh? "

"Who else is looking for him beside us? "

"Uh, Marlene. She's been asking around trying to find him. "

"Marlene? What do the fireflies need from him? "

"You think she told me? "

" Well, what did you tell her ? "

"The truth. I got no idea where he is. "

"Good girl. Hey, you stay outta trouble, alright? Military gonna be out in force soon."

"Got it. See ya around ."

" You hear that guys? Marlene is looking for Robert. What do you make of that ?"

"Nothing good. We better find him before she does," replied Joel.

"Either he's gonna go ghost soon or he'll end up with a bullet to his head. Neither of them is good for us. Like Joel said we better find him. " Tess opens a door to an apartment.

"This is us guys c'mon. "

"Yo, yo, guys how you doin'? " A guy sitting on the sofa called out.

"Shit's stirring up out there? How we lookin' over here? "

"It's been quite here. No signs of military or infected. " Hearing that Joel and J went up to shift an entertainment centre behind which was the access to the tunnel.

"Y'all take it easy out there. " J lifted his left hand up and swayed his wrist in a wave indicating affirmative before he jumped down the tunnel. Behind him Tess came down, Joel was the last.

"Ugh! It reeks in here. They need to watch what they throw in here. "

"Agreed. " J said as he started the generator up.

"Let there be light. " she said.

"Let's grab our gear. Our backpacks are still here from the last time." Joel said as he picked up his tan-coloured backpack. Followed by Tess who had a blue-coloured backpack she tossed a forest green-coloured backpack to J.

J rummaged in his bag to find the suppressor for his gun. "Alright, guys suppressors on your guns. Hey Joel, where are our vest and big boi's? " Tess and Joel followed suit attaching suppressors to their HK vp9 and Glock respectively.

"It's at the Hideout at the North tunnel ."

"What's it doing there? "

"We left it there. We agreed that we didn't want people to make off with our valuable gear. The rifles, the vests and anything of value is there hidden behind you know where. What you afraid to go without a vest, kid? "

"Nah, I am afraid that you'd get yourself shot. "

"Well, you heard him, Tess. This time guns only. You know the area best so take point. Joel, you take the rear. Mags and ammo where you can reach them. We stay sharp and only shoot when we have to. We go in quick make use of that surprise element and we make it fast. Make sure nobody dies on me, yeah? "

"Who died and made you the leader? " Joel asked with a smirk.

"I am not Tess is still the boss lady. But I am the weapons guy here. Solid experience if I say so. " J replied as he shrugged.

"Alright J, come here I'll boost you up. " as he bent slightly and made a cupped hand. J placed his foot on his hand and shoulder respectively and made it to the top.

"C'mon Tess. I'll pull you up. " she jumped up and grabbed his hand. He pulled her up with no difficulties.

"Psh ! light work. C'mon Joel you're next. "

Joel jumped up and grabbed his hand as well but nearly pulled him down. "Mother...fucker. *gasp* Uh, Tess a little help here? "

"I thought you said it was light work? "

"Well to you not to an almost 185 lbs guy. Would you please help before his weight make me fall or worse pops my shoulder out?" After they pulled Joel up they walked up to the exit that was in an old shop. They covered the exit back after getting out.

"Well, Tess I would have said feel free to order anything you like. Lunch is on me but I guess you won't be happy with the service they provide here. I for one don't want clicker ravioli. " J whistled.

"Cute but also gross. Did you really have to say that last line? I won't be able to eat for a while with that disturbing image roaming in my mind. "

"In his defence, they do look like giant mushrooms. Scary, creepy fuckin shrooms. " Joel chipped into the conversation. They walked out to witness the destroyed yet beautiful landscape. Nature had taken its rightful control from humans. Many of the walls of the buildings were wrecked. Plants, trees and grass was growing all over. The roads were ruptured and caved in. The cars were all haphazardly abandoned and now rusting.

"How can it still look beautiful but so deadly at the same time ? " she asked aloud.

"Same way that the king on the back of my T-shirt can. Everything looks so bleak to me. Well, it is the post-apocalyptic world or the current apocalyptic world since the post is added after the event? Which one is it Joel?

Also, do you think these animals survived? I heard her say it was the King of the beasts. Is it true ? " he asked as he searched for the ladder they needed to enter the building.

"Well firstly, I think using the post might be the correct one here since the outbreak happened and all. Secondly, a lion wasn't exactly the actual king of animals we called it so because it was an apex predator. It was ferocious while being majestic. As to your question, I don't know J. I hope they survived but chances are they most likely did not. They used to be a lot of them in Savanna."

"Where was this Savanna exactly ? " curious he asked as he picked up the ladder and carried it below the building.

"In Africa. "

" You think the infected got them? " J cued Tess to go up and climbed after her.

"Nope, I fear the terrain did them in. It was grasslands surrounded by deserts too far for Infected in my opinion but the massive strings of natural disaster might have done them in." He was the last one up.

"Well, ladies first Tess. "

"Lady? you must be thinking of someone else. " In response J simply pointed a finger to the left profile of his face.

*tch*

They climbed down in the dilapidated building in the same order as they had climbed up just a few seconds ago.

"This way down here. Hey Joel, do you think Robert managed to get the ' Dust of Aether ' just like he promised? "

"Well, let's hope so for his sake he better have it. We paid a lot to get that."

"Let's say we get Aether whose blessing do we awaken? Yours or Tess? I am good with my blessing. I don't need Awakening currently. If you ask me, Joel, I think your blessing is very useful out in the field but Tess's blessing really shines through in dealing with people. "

"I am good too, I don't require it to awaken. It's better if Tess's blessing was awakened. But we are getting ahead of ourselves we would still need 'caeruleum'. It's definitely easier to get than the other but it is difficult to identify."

" Look let's just get Robert first. We can trade with Bill to get Caeruleum. He always needs more ammo. "

"Hold Up spores ahead. Masks on everybody," she informed both of them.

"Shit, the place was clear last time we used it. Where did it come from? " Joel asked.

As they got closer. J stopped Tess.

"Joel, use your blessing and give us the number. " He closed his eyes as if he wanted to focus on sensing something.

"Three runners on the left. A clicker on the right. A guy downed far in the centre."

"Tess, switch with me. Both of you take the left and right flank respectively and just hold your ground. I'll try to melee the runners. Joel if the clicker picks up the noise you know what to do. Keep your gun aimed at it. Don't fuckin shoot if it doesn't hear me."

"J, the gun would be safer." she said.

"Yeah, but it will reverb out as well. We don't know if there would be more ahead. "

Tess followed J towards the left. She took her position against the wall and aimed at one of the Runners. Ready if things went south. Joel took the right and did the same for the clicker. J quietly moved gripping his combat knife tightly. He placed it back noticing the runner was completely disoriented. In a swift move, he quickly came up behind it and placed him in a stranglehold, his knees bent slightly. He then tried to lower his horizontal elbow in the direction of his foot and with a sharp jerk snapped his neck while still in the strangle. Instantly he had let go of the body.

He equipped his knife again and moved quietly. Two runners were feeding on a dead animal.

"Nope. "

He took out his gun and threw his knife at the left runner and shot the right runner straight in the head. The knife flew straight through the head and out of the eye of the left one.

Instantly he heard clicking and then a small noise of *thhhink* go off. He knew Joel had taken care of it. He removed his knife and carefully moved forward until coming to a blocked path. He moved back to Tess.

"Clear left, Joel any more ? " he stated in a whisper.

" Nope, Clear right. " Joel responded in his normal voice range letting him know it was over.

"I thought you said you would take them out melee ? " she asked with a smirk.

"Yeah, clearly I didn't think it through. I forgot I had no protective gloves how was I supposed to cover their mouths, I wasn't going to take the risk of them biting my fingers. And you really can't knife them if you have them in a strangle hold. You'll need an extra arm for it. ( T ^ T ) "

' What an Idiot. (¬_¬) '.

All of them proceeded to the right and then the centre where they came across the guy who was laying down.

"Damn, his gas mask broke. " She commented.

"Please don't leave me here. Fin...finish it. I don't ...I don't... " the man fumbled while trying to remain conscious.

"Yeah..." *Thhink...* Joel shot the guy in the head.

"Hey Joel, Tess, I think we found the culprit responsible for the spores. " He points his knife in the direction of a decaying grossed out looking body in the corner.

*blegh...*

"I think I'll vomit. No matter how many times I see it. It always creeps me out. " she said.

"Let's go no time to waste. "

"Hold up! Hold up! we are not going through that narrow opening in the rubble. It will surely collapse. Let's take the left. " They passed through the disgusting infected body and moved upwards, to the stairs.

"More infected I hear them. 2 runners. "

"Easy" he repeated the same actions. Threw a knife at one and shot the other.

" Nice, Headshot. Let's head back to the city " she remarked as she saw a broken wall which was their exit out of here. J cleaned his knife on a rag and threw it. Infected blood was dangerous. It was okay to get it on your skin as long one did not have an open cut, all thanks to the blessing everyone now possessed. All of them exited the building.

"Can't tell you how good the sunlight feels after escaping that dark dingy place. Especially the fact you can breathe in the clear air. " she said.

J pulled out a lighter from one of his pockets and placed his knife over the lighter's flame.

"Uh... what are you doin' J ? "

"Burning of potential infection. I just stabbed runners with this. The last thing I want to do is nick myself with it or attack someone with it. Imagine they get cut from it and escape only to find they got infected. A few seconds of heat is enough to burn off anything that remained on it.

We had to go in circles just to get to Area 5. *sigh*. "

"C'mon. Let's go, through here. " Joel took lead. The group passed through a false wall and covered the entrance back. They climbed up the upper level while Tess placed a wooden plank vertically on the wall and came up to join them. Meanwhile, Joel placed the plank horizontally and made a makeshift bridge between the two platforms. They crossed it and descended downwards through a broken window. The familiar scenery of buildings squared off and small lanes between them came across them. They jumped across some concrete dividers and entered a corner apartment.

"You can search around for ammo or some shit. " she said as she went to the door and knocked on it thrice, then 5 times after a few seconds and then once. A small child opened up the door slightly.

"Hey, little man. Would you checkout to make sure the patrol isn't here? Tell us if you see Robert's men as well. " Tess asked as she offered him a ration card. The boy nodded and closed the door. Meanwhile, Joel got 8 bullets of 9mm inside a drawer and J found a blue-coloured baseball bat.

"Kid, You feel like a thug with that baseball bat. Doesn't suit you at all. " he said.

"Well, technically I am one that's why I run with you guys now. I got into the reserve, you know what that means right? You can be recalled to action but that never happens. It's indirectly understood that those who make it to reserve have permission to go AWOL. It's the organization's of way telling that they are cutting down as they have limited resources. "

Joel's eyes narrowed in suspicion as he asked "If that's the case then how do you explain the gear, the guns and other equipment? Pretty sure, that if they could spare so much on you, they wouldn't let go of you. "

"Well, what can I say? I have some friends and I have some deals. It's a secret. If you want to know you gotta reveal something of equal value. "

"Nah, I am good. " he said.

The kid returned and informed them the coast was clear and pointed to where he saw Robert's men. They entered the street and made their way through a slightly crowded section where a guy came up calling Tess's name.

"Hey Tess, hey Tess. Hey, pretty lady, how you doin' today? "

"Not, right now Terrence. "

"No, no, It's good. "

"Fuck off, didn't you hear her? Run bitch, before I make you." J threatened the dude who was being obstinate. The dude looked at him and then his eyesight went to the obnoxious baseball bat that he held over his shoulder. He then saw that indifferent look in his eyes. It was a classic threatening behaviour, he knew that yet he still caved in.

"Ok man. Chill! My timing was just bad. I'll get out of your hair. "

They moved to a shadier district.

"Yo, Tess how have you been? You don't visit us no more ? " a guy called out to her.

"Who's she ? " his accomplice asked him.

"None of your concern. "

Tess nodded in his direction and continued to move.

"Popular much? " J asked her as she voiced her opinion with a simple grunt. The group saw a school bus blocking the entire road. Besides it people were sitting on chairs, some drinking even though it was just afternoon, some were playing games, some doin' drugs.

As they closed in towards the bus, a guy almost rushed Joel as he placed a hand on Joel's collar. He sounded annoyed and angry.

"Where the FUCK do you think your goin'? "

' He's going to break that arm. ' Before he could do anything Tess interrupted him.

"Get your fuckin hands off of him. He's with me and so is he. " she pointed to both Joel and him.

"Sorry, Tess. Didn't know these guys were with you. "

'Is your eyes buttons or what? Did you not see her walk with us? '

They entered the bus that was filled with cigarette smoke. They saw a couple going at it and another a few seats back.

'No wonder the fucker was trying to stop us. Fuckin gang-bangers. '

They exited the bus as fast as possible.

"Gotta say, Tess, you attract the wrong type of men. "

"It's simply a business for me J. I get them what they need. I don't hang with them, I don't involve in any sort of shit with them. Also, I don't attract them. They think if they can get in my good graces maybe they'll have better chances at survival. "

"Yeah, yeah I know. I was just teasing you. "

"And you failed at it in an epic manner. " Joel added.

"Hey, where's Robert? We had a drop for him. We've been tryin' to find him. "

"Yeah, sure he went back to the wharf. He's there now. "

"Cool, thanks. "

They entered another lane to their right where a firefly graffiti was made at a shutter. Walking ahead they reached the block where the guy said he was. They saw three guys approach them.

"You need to turn back. He isn't entertaining visitors. " The guy in the right was holding a gun.

"We don't want any beef...*Thhhink* ". Suddenly, the guy holding the gun dropped it and was kneeling with his hand clutched, screaming. Blood was flowing out of his wrist. His wrist was definitely shattered.

"DON'T FUCKIN MOVE! I'LL SHOOT IF I SEE ANY OF YOU MOVIN' EVEN AN INCH. BOTH OF YOUR HANDS UP! NOW, NOW YOU FUCKIN BITCHES !" J said as held his gun aimed at the guys who had raised their hands. Joel had also pulled his gun out as soon as he had seen him shoot.

" Joel get their guns right now. " he was on it even before J could complete his words.

"DON'T MOVE AN INCH! DON'T TRY ANYTHING SMART. I AM A SNIPER, I DON'T FUCKIN MISS. "

The guys were profusely sweating. Fear inhabiting their minds. One part told them to do something, to fight back or else they'll die but another told them to just remain frozen, to not move or they'll die. The thing about " him being a sniper " had subconsciously affected them.

Joel had already collected their guns. Their window of opportunity had already closed. They were too late all they had was now to comply and hope the guy holdin' the gun showed mercy. The guy who had been previously screaming gained enough control and had also become aware of what had happened to them.

"Ok, Now no sudden moves, no running. Both of you kneel down now. And YOU ! put your hands up. UP, WHERE I CAN SEE THEM! "

"Now, hands behind your head and lay down all the way. I am not gonna shoot you. If you comply. I just knock you out and go my way. No Robert is fuckin worth your life. "

"Just chill man. You're right, you're right. "

"Don't shoot us. I got kids, man. "

"Spare us. "

As they lay down on the road hands beneath their heads, J swiftly moved towards them and punted them hard one by one right at their chins. All of them were knocked out cold.

*whistles * "There goes head trauma. You just gave them concussions and possible brain damage. " Joel said.

"Possible brain damage is still better than definite death. " he replied.

"Jeez, J what the fuck was that? " Tess at first had been too stunned then immediately focused on the situation, so she reserved her queries until it was over.

"It's called taking control. Overwhelming violence followed by dominant behaviour to assert control. It's used when you need to breach hideouts that comprise of few people that you are advised strictly not to hurt. Basically, it's almost taking hostages. "

"and the sniper thing? "

"A lie to induce a psychological pressure that will help them submit. Snipers have a mad accurate aim. " Joel had emptied the guns till then and had divided the ammo. They were carrying 1 mag each and full mag from the gun, i.e. just one guy had 30 bullets on him. They walked through an arch corridor until they came across a steel grill entry. It was locked from the inside. There was no going through that instead they scaled the wall adjacent to it by using the same boosting up-pattern. They walked ahead and crawled through a cut section of high grilled took cover immediately behind some cargo crates and huge ducts and electrical units.

"How do you know they're comin'? "

" More of Robert guy's. " she said in a hushed voice.

"Two of our guys died tryin' to take out Tess. I guarantee she and the rest of them are on their way, right now as we speak. "

"There are three guys, the third one is in the office. " J nodded.

"Take aim at the office entrance. I'll handle these two idiots. Don't shoot. "

J moved quietly behind them and rose from his crouched position readying his baseball in a striking position.

"Anyways what about...*bam*...What the fuck? " The guy on the right saw his left go down while he was out cold or worse dead. He immediately shifted but before that, a sharp pain attacked his knee suddenly he couldn't hold his own weight.

J had kicked very hard at the side of the guy's knee and followed it with a very clean hit with his bat to the guy's chin. He had fallen but he wasn't out of it yet. He grabbed his collar and picked him up and delivered a straight jab. The dude was done. He searched both of them for their ammo and cleaned his bat on the shirt of one of the dudes. Then he moved silently towards the office, the guy was taking a smoke break but he was cautious and was facing the only entrance to the office.

J while jumping out of his crouched position tossed his entire baseball bat towards the guy. Whether it hit him or not it was pointless because he had closed the distance. The bat hit the guy on his chest. He was slightly disoriented and immediately tried to get up but was too late. J had landed a solid right hook on him. He was half done in already. Sudden pain in his abdomen came up he realised that a knee had landed on him while his foe had grabbed him. He just had the wind knocked out of him. He was laying on the floor panting. He was not unconscious yet. J came up on him raised his head by lifting his collar and delivered another hook. The dude was knocked out cold as well. He repeated the same routine of gathering ammo and picked up his baseball bat back.

"All clear. "

"So are we gonna do anything or you're just going to solo this whole shit? You know I could take them out as well. ( - _ - ) " Tess asked.

"As soon as we lose the element of surprise and it turns into a shootout you'll get your chance. I know you can take them out, but you prefer a bullet to their heads. These guys are not worth killing. It's better they are unconscious these are just chumps, hunters are the ones that you shouldn't show any mercy on. " he said as he passed them even more ammo and a key he got from the last dude's pocket.

"Hey, Joel never knew this is a way better method to get ammo and it's free as well. "

"It's free as long as you put your life at risk for it. Seems about an equal worth of trade. " Joel stated ironically. He walked up to the metal door and tried the key, it opened up apparently it was the warehouse key.

"More guys." he said while closing his eyes. " Three of them, two hanging together one on the stairs. " They moved ahead until they got a clear view of the situation.

"I meant to tell you, I was down on Jordan Street, and all these soldiers showed up with a group of about five civs, all in handcuffs. "

" Let me guess, Fireflies? "

" Yup, they lined 'em up against the wall and bang, bang, bang, they just executed all of 'em."

" Holy shit. "

" Yeah, I hear it's like that all over the city. They're cracking down on 'em hard. "

" I got a cousin with 'em. "

" Seriously ? "

" Yeah. The idiot thinks he's gonna save the world. Hope he's alright. "

"Yeah, this is not gonna work we'll have to break the two of them up. I and Tess can handle them. Joel shoot the one patrolling the stairs on my signal. He's too far to reach quickly and he's got a clear view." He picked up a very small pebble and threw it at the metal door.

"Huh. Did you hear something? "

Then he threw a slightly bigger stone at a rat trap in the corner. "Damn something broke inside again. If it's the rat causing a ruckus, I swear I'll lose it. " The guy broke up his conversation and proceeded to enter where they were. J sneakily went up to him and put him into a strangle hold. The guy tried to struggle but he kicked him in the backside of his knee to bring him down before completely laying him down gripped to him like a snake. In seconds the dude was out cold. He hinted to Tess to come up and gave her a brick lying next to them.

"Throw it through the window on the guy. He'll get distracted and I'll take him down. Your cue is when Joel shoots that guy . "

He moved towards the entrance and signalled Joel to get ready to shoot. He did a simple gesture of 3,2, 1 and vertically waved his hand twice. As soon as he shot him, Tess chucked a brick through the glass window at the guy, He was shocked by the sound and also got hit with the brick. Before he could find his balance he got tackled by a guy who rained punches at him and he saw blackness after that. The group searched for ammo on them and then moved to the upper level using the stairs.

"There's 10 of them. 4 on this level (2 in a single file ) and 6 scattered downstairs of this warehouse. "

" Yeah, stealth is almost over huh? We're gonna have to shoot when we go down, cause it is too fuckin huge to foolishly try to knock them out. The upper level might still be manageable. Guy's shoot as you see fit. There's no other way here. " J said as he moved sneakily behind and strangle held the guy at one of the doors. He then moved up and strangle held another guy and dragged him behind the wall, not visible to the guys that were standing forward about 20 metres away, slightly to the right.

"You know what to do guys " as he hinted his head towards both of the guys. Joel and Tess moved up quietly almost half of the way and then shot both of them in the head as they had their backs turned. " The three of them walked past the two dead guys and descended the stairs.

" Disperse, each of us takes two. " Joel simply said. J and Tess took the right and Joel went to the left. J went further to the corner and left the middle portion to her jurisdiction. He slowly moved up ahead and spotted a guy facing in her direction. He took aim and dropped the guy with a clean headshot. He swiftly moved up, wasting no time he saw another towards the front walk to the corner and turn. He took aim and with another headshot, the dude was dead as well.

He went back looking to spot another. He spotted one more, dude was leaning on a pillar. He did not have a clean shot hence he took a position and lowered his gun slightly, surveying the mid and waiting for the other to finish it or for any easy pickings.

A minute later he saw the dude leaning on the pillar fall. He immediately moved in the direction and joined Tess as soon as he spotted her.

"You finished your quota ? " he asked. She nodded. "Only, Joel's left then. Good let's take cover near the mid section, he'll be able to spot us easy with his blessing. " A few seconds later he walked up to J and her.

"Docs are this way, c'mon. " she pointed to the metal curtains of the warehouse. J pulled the chain in a downward direction which started to lift it up thanks to the lever mechanism. He opened it halfway until he heard the locking mechanism in it click indicating he could remove his hands without having the metal curtain fall back ." They passed through and entered the wharf area and looked around.

"Damn, more guys. How many guys more before we get him ? "

"Look there he is. That cocky son of a bitch. "

"Finally, I was starting to get restless as well. "

"Shipments have been dry for a long time."

" Yeah, well we lost our contacts in the North, lost our contacts in the South. Shit. I don't know who's left out there to sell us stuff. Guess this is why we're taking shitty protection jobs."

"Fucking Robert. This rat better be good for it."

"Even if he is, then what? I'm telling you, this zone is done for. We better think of an exit strategy."

" You're insane. Going outside the wall is suicide."

" Plenty of other smugglers do it. What do you think's gonna happen here once supplies run out ? "

" I'd still take my chances in here. " *thhiink* *thhink*

Both of the guys that had been in a conversation a few seconds ago now laid dead. Joel and Tess and had timed their shots together. J had stuck to his normal routine of advancing from the corner. He had knocked a guy who was in a more isolated section using two strikes of his baseball bat. A full force hit to the ribs followed by a brutal hit to the cheek. He then shot a guy in the head that was in his direct line of sight. He climbed one of the containers and then shot another dude. The outer perimeter was clean as far as he could survey.

"Let's see what you were shipping dude. He climbed back down and then swung the baseball bat vertically in a sword stance, on the lock of the container. The bat came down with a such immense force that it broke down the lock and a loud noise of *crack* was emitted.

The lock was broken but so was the bat. It had deformed badly, and could not be used effectively any longer.

"Goodbye, my friend." he said as he threw it away. The noise had drawn out more people. 'Alert' people, the only problem was: he was close to the inner entrance and these guys were so smart that they practically were in the same file. Three 'alert' dead guys were lying down at the entrance. The one that was furthest away had tried to dodge but you can't outrun an enemy with an excellent aim, enough ammo and you certainly can't take cover behind thin air. Containers were 50m in all directions with respect to their initial position which was 50 m too slow.

"Fuckin idiot should have run for cover inside. Why the fuck did he run outside ? " he shook his head. He went back to the container whose lock he had broken. He unbolted the metal rod back and silently opened the container slightly. He went inside it.

*Tihiha...Tihiha...* *thhink...thhink* *gunshot noises*. Joel and Tess were taking cover and firing back. The guys were finally alerted as they saw three of their members dead near the inner entrance. She shot one in the arm while he shot one in the chest.

"Shit! Tom, we are the Last of Us. THE REST OF THEM GOT KILLED !"

*thhink* *thhink * "Nope you were the last of well, YOU. All clear! " J exclaimed.

*phew* " Where did you disappear off to ? " she asked him.

" I didn't disappear, just took a small detour. "

Before she could ask about it. He placed his index finger on his lips and closed his right eye, a small smile making its way.

"It's a secret. "

*hmmph* "Fine, don't tell me I'll find out about it on my own. " They moved to the office space.

"Only one person inside it. Be careful he would definitely be armed. " J nodded in his direction. He carefully rotated the door knob and lightly pushed the door and let it swing back on its own. *Tihiha...Tihiha...Tihiha...* immediately three bullets whizzed by him. Thankfully he had already leaned back to the wall.

*Motherfucker...* he pointed his gun without peeking inside and blindly let four shots go.

"We just want to talk, ROBERT! PUT YOUR GUN DOWN." she said.

"We ain't got FUCKIN NOTHIN' TO TALK ABOUT ! " he fired more rounds at them.

"Make it easy on yourself. If you corporate now it won't hurt later when we catch you. " He said as he tossed a roll of papers to J. It was their improvised smoke bomb real easy to make.

You take a cold pack, open it up remove the small water bag and pour the rest of the content which is basically Potassium Nitrate into a bucket. Dissolve the salt in the least amount of water possible to make the solution concentrated. Then last take a cluster of newspapers fold them neatly and soak them in the solution. After that let them dry in the sun, once dried you roll them up and tie them and you have a smoke bomb.

He used his lighter to burn up the paper slightly. As he saw the paper release smoke he tossed it inside the room.

*Tihiha...Tihihah...Tihihaa *more gunshots* *sound of empty click *

*Thhink...Thhhink * *sound of changing mags *

In a minute the room had filled with smoke. *cough* *cough*

"Damn you! " J ran in the smoke he roughly knew where to expect the table was. He jumped over it and grabbed Robert by the shoulder and tossed him to the wall. Robert tried to through a punch but he guarded it, using the dorsal side of his forearms and threw a straight jab at Robert. He fell to the ground and his gun flew out of his hands. Instead of fighting back like he had expected Robert turned tail and ran.

"Shit, don't let him get away Kid! " J ran after him before he could even hear what Joel had said. Joel and Tess ran closely after J. They couldn't let Robert run away now. He had to admit Robert was a fast runner.

He ran through an alley behind him, into cold storage, jumped over some obstacles and through a window and back out to another lane. Unfortunately, Robert's luck had run out he had taken the wrong lane. He was tryin' to break open a steel fence door when he caught up to him.

*haha haha...* J started laughing as he saw him trapped.

"Look let's talk. OK. You said you wanted to talk. " he immediately picked up a steel pipe near him and rushed J.

'Completely open'. J moved slightly as he dodged the entire swing. He then threw a left straight at his face, and it connected. He grabbed the pipe and forcibly took it from him and then with a short swing he swung it at his ribs.

"Umph! Ow ! "

Followed by a full-force swing at his ribs again in the same place. He screamed out in even more pain as he felt it crack his bones. He then swung the pipe and hit his leg joint. Robert collapsed on the ground right at the spot. Joel and Tess had already caught up to him when he had been in the midst of handling Robert.

"Sure, Let's talk now. " he said as he cleaned the pipe on Robert's shirt and placed it in the outer side pocket of his bag, one modified for his melee weapon with straps to secure it so the weapon doesn't fall out during intense actions. He leaned against the wall with his arms folded against his chest.

"Hello, Robert. " Tess said sweetly as she kneeled and looked at him.

'Yup, he is not walking ever again if she decides to spare his life. Man, she is angry now. '

" Tess. Joel. No hard feelings, right? "

" None at all. We missed you, ya know. You sent your two friends to say greet me. Should've just come yourself. "

"Look, whatever it is you heard, it ain't true, okay? I just want to say..."

"Did you manage to get it? Aether did you get it ? " she interrupted whatever spiel he had prepared.

" Yeah, sure, I did but...it's complicated. Alright? Look, alright, just hear me out on this. I secured it but..." before he could say more he received a kick to his face, courtesy of Joel. He then kneeled and straightened out his arm and grabbed it. Everyone knew what he was threatening here.

"Quit your squirmin'. I ain't interested in your BS no more. Just straight up truth. No games, Robert. I'll ask again where is it? "

"I gave it away. "

" Excuse me? YOU GAVE IT AWAY? "

" I didn't have much of a choice. I owed someone."

" No...no, you owed us. After we supplied you with ammunition, med kit, ration cards and introduced you to more business. I say you bet on the wrong fuckin horse. " she was shaking her head in utter dismay.

"Look I managed to get it before. I have some contacts, I'll get it again Tess I promise you and this time you don't have to give me anything in exchange. Look you already paid me so consider it that it has just been delayed, as soon as I get it. I will hand it over to you. "

" You know, I might've done that if you hadn't tried to fucking kill me. " she had a cold look on her face.

" C'mon, it wasn't like-"

"Who has it? Who the FUCK HAS OUR STUFF ROBERT? "

I can't. Just gimme a couple of days-

*crack*

"aaah...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Joel had broken his arm.

"Last chance. Who has it? "

"Fire...Fireflies. I owed the fireflies. "

'Fuck, this dude is dead. RIP bruh... you dug your own grave. Had you come with this problem to us instead of giving our stuff away, she would have found a way out for you. '

She had a dazed expression which changed to grim and finally anger settled in.

'Yup, she is enraged. '

" Look, they're basically on their downfall. The 'church' is hunting them down like dogs, their contacts with the govt. are running up. It's all over the news. Look we can just- Just go in there, and force a trade. We get back the Aether and then some. Whaddya say? C'mon. Fuck those Fireflies. Let's go get 'em.

or you know let's report them I know their base in this zone. Either way works. "

" Now that is a stupid idea. " she pointed her gun at him.

" No, no please Te..." *thhink *.

'As the kid likes to put it. FUBAR. This world is FUBAR. ' Joel silently looked up to the sky as he witnessed one of his known associates end up dead. Nothing was stable nothing was permanent here.

Author's Huge Note: Don't worry this might be the only big note. Simply because it's a new story so I want to explain some stuff. I'll divide it into points. But first of all, I want to thank all of you for reading it. I know I am not the best writer nor a consistent one so sorry guys. *hehe...*

Meta Data about Story:

1. I know you guys are smart and have already figured out the sprinkles of RPG elements and how I have changed the TLOU world. Trust me, if I can write more, I intend these brief sprinkles to bring a huge change to the TLOU world, enough so that the RPG element doesn't seem forced. As for the stuff you might have caught on about 'blessings' and stuff. Please wait that's the main course of the meal. I can't give it to you before hooking you in. Also if I give it to early it will just seem like an info dump.

2. Now, a major gripe I have is with OC characters. It always turns a reader off, I know because I am a reader too. So I know the pitfalls. One of them being the reader can't imagine the OC. Hence, they fail to connect. So I'll give the physical description of the OC i.e. J here.

So J is based on JASON BRODY from far cry 3. (Currently, Imagine a younger Jason. When he grows up he will look like Jason but with minor changes of course. One, he has black hair, Jason has brown hair. He has brown eyes, Jason has green and finally, he won't have a scruffy beard like Jason, a stubble beard is fine. You know it looks cleaner.

Also, why did I select Jason to be the model? C'mon he is the most badass game character and the dude has the looks. Just google search the one where he's holding a gun and machete. Tell me if that isn't a cool pic. )

3. Major spoiler in point no. 2 . The reason I called him J throughout was because I was saving his name for a more impactful scene. There is also another reason it's a character trait. You will realise it later in the story.

4. You might think the world setting is too vague. Please wait for the prologue it's coming. You'll notice how minor changes made it vastly different. (If I ever reach it. Don't worry it's the next chapter but I am a poor writer. )

5. If you can find any inspiration from this please feel free to use my settings and write a better story.

The author requests the divine blessing of help(。◕‿◕。)

Guys I am really struggling with gun sounds. I am not from the USA so please if any of you can give me what guns and rifles they would use in a scenario like this along with what gun sounds it makes both suppressed and un-suppressed I would be grateful. T ^ T
