Chapter 3:
The Clock's Run Out
I made it with 5 minutes to spare. I was sitting on my ATV in front of a rather large cave entrance, but really it was a mine-like cavern used as a fallout shelter. I closed my eyes and slowed my breathing. I breathed in deeply and out slowly. I open my eyes and looked into the cavern. Darkness.
I drove slowly forward. My hand started shaking from nervousness. I forgot all I have ever known except for my training. I was in the cave and I stopped. A huge metal door sealed the cave entrance. I jumped and turned around. Darkness.
A trail of lights above me flickered and turned on. They were dull and did not reveal much. I blinked a couple times and the powers of my contacts were activated. I could see plainly now. Wires of all kinds and sizes were connected to the walls of the cave and they ran down it. On the ceiling were pipes that also ran down the cave. There were also computer-like machines connected to the wall here and there. I figured them key-pads of some kind.
I turned the throttle slightly and slowly wound my way down the tunnel. I couldn't remember where I was going but my body kept a steady direction. It was as if someone else was controlling me. I looked around. The cave seemed dull and boring, not much to look at. Eventually the walls became metal and hard, but for some reason, unknown by me, were kept at a constant room temperature.
"Hello, is anyone here?" I shouted. My voice echoed but there was no answer. My head began to pulse. I was picking up conversations all around me, but they were in strange languages I have never heard of, possibly Russian. I stopped, pulled an alien translating device out of my pocket, and placed it in my ear. I began to understand but there were so many conversations that the words jumbled together and made no sense.
I kept going and eventually made it to a door enclosed at the end of the cave. After what seemed like hours I had finally made it. I checked my watch, 3:56. That was only a minute, I thought to myself, this must definetly be it.
I got off, equiped myself with both Desert Eagles, made sure both were cocked and loaded, switched the safties off, and smiled. How many people wanna kick some ass, I sand in my head, I DO I DO. I concentrated extremely hard and gathered my chi in my feet. I became extremely relaxed and felt the power grow. I opened my eyes, they were blood- shot and blood-thirsty-looking.
"AAAAGHHHH" I kicked very strongly into the door. The hinges snapped and the door flew through and crashed into one of them. I dived forward, through the entry.
"DIE!!!" I spread my arms in both directions (left and right) and fired 6 shots or so each. I curled up and rolled as I hit the floor. I stood up and ran toward the back wall. I shot at two of them to my left. I turned as I started running up the wall sideways and shot two more. I did a cart-wheel-like flip off the wall and landed as I shot one in front of me. I heard one with a spear come running at me, the blade pointed at my back. At the last second I flipped backward and he ran right under me. He rammed the spear right into the wall and as he turned around I shot the bastard in the neck. I had no more ammo left. I discarded the clips and reholstered the Eagles.
I ripped out my katana and stared one of them down, daring him to charge at me. He did and I waited calmly. He tried to punch at me, I dodged to the side and cut his arm in two. I spun backward and kicked him in the face, clothes- lining him and flipping him backward. A few more came at him with short sword-like weapons. One charged from the left. I blocked his downward swing and kicked him backward. The one from my right, now behind me actually, charged as did the one from my current right. I spun towards my left to surprise him. I held my sword out swinging it. I accidentally sliced the chest of the one charging from behind and kept the swing going. I sliced right through his weapon. I stopped swinging and head- butted him in the face. Damn that hurt me alot. I kneed him in the stomach and then kneed him in the face with the opposite knee. He turned my sword around and stabbed backwards on my left side. The blade slide through the stomached of the final opponent. I elbowed him hard in the face using my chi and he flew backward. All done.
I'm sure none of this make's any sense at all but I promise you, reader, it will soon.
I was interrupted in thought when I head an alarm go off and a mechanical voice on an unknown loud-speaker source. "ENEMY IN COMPLEX, TO ARMS AND KILL ANY BEING THAT APPEARS SUSPICIOUS, THANK YOU, HAVE A NICE DAY." A nice day. Hell no.
I sheathed my katana and thought a moment. I loaded and cocked my Eagles, then I cocked my TEK-9s. I looked around and sighed. I then ran to my ATV and opened the back of it. I took out the ingrams and their holsters. I loaded and cocked them, then connected the holsters to the sides of my pants where my knees were. I took out my M-16 and loaded it also. I put the strap over my neck and under my arm and let it rest against my back. I picked up a pair of sunglasses my friends left me and put them on. I became transparent. My guns were loaded but I forgot to turn the safties off, however I did this. I hopped in the back of my ATV and turned it on. I turned the throttle forward and tapped it there. I took some C-4 and tapped it underneath the seat. I hopped in the back, that is the wayback where I stored everything and readied my M-16.
Chapter 4: Death Rides in Shadows
I sighed and looked up. Now or never, I said to myself. I turned my M-16 around and butted the pedal so hard that it was stuck there. I grinned.
It took off going very fast but not too fast. I aimed my gun as they started flooding out of the hidden doors in the walls. I pulled the trigger and didn't stop. They dropped by the dozens at my bullets ripped through their God-forsaken flesh.
They pulled out strange looking weapons and laid their hate upon me. I ducked dodging many bullets. I sat back up and returned fire. All the current ones in the hall fell to their deaths. More, however, poured out into the hall. Damnit, I thought. I reloaded my gun and started raining hot lead again. As many fell ten more replaced them. I'm way too outnumbered, I thought, I'll never make it. NO! No, I'm going to kill them, all of them. I taped the trigger so it would continue firing as I taped it to the seat. I aimed it at a 45 degree angle to the right.
I stood up and pulled out my TEK-9s. "DIE YOU BASTARDS!!!!" I jumped up in the air barrel-rolling at a 60 degree angle dodging bullets. I landed and rolled backward letting my vengeance rain down on them. I stood up and strafed to the left, My ATV took care of the right.
I shot at one but he fired first. The bullet came at me straight in my line of vision, I leaned backward dodging it and as I did I reached out my hands backwards and touched the ground. I lifted my legs up and flipped backwards while firing.
The bodies covered the ground. One of them appeard on my left and one on my right, I was facing the wall. They both fired a few shots simultaneously, I waited till the last second and leaned back.
A few bullets hit them and the rest passed them and killed some others. I leaned back forward and stood straight up. I looked to my left. I realized my TEK 9s were out of ammo and as I ejected the clips, I holstered them. I got into a fighting stance, they could obviously detect my body heat so that is how they detected me.
I decided not to waste time. I ran toward my ATV as fast as I could as it continued down its path. I needed more speed. "YAAAAA" I yelled as I charged my chi. My legs felt stronger and full of energy. I ran so very fast I was afraid that if I tripped I would never stop rolling on the ground. I was about 25 yards behind it. Then it hit me, the door at the end of the tunnel was shut, and I was still inside. Damnit, I thought once again.
But before I could slow myself down I looked forward and saw the door, the ATV was four seconds from colliding with it, If only I could catch up and turn it. More determined than ever, I began my pursuit, but, It was in vain. I was shot in the leg and I began to stumble. And to my dismay, as I looked up I saw a blinding white flash and then... darkness.
