Chapter 9: The Hive
David's POV
The elevator took us to the third floor. As soon as we walked out, I heard someone shout, "Kiss my ass bitch!" I walked toward the direction from where the voice came from and found myself facing a door. I knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone there?" The voice replied, "Hell no! Leave me alone!" I recognized the voice and asked, "Is that you, Jim? We're here to find you and Cindy so we can get out of here." Seconds later, the door opened and Jim walked out the door. "Can't a black man get a break here?" said Jim. I looked around the corner from were I came from and noticed that everybody was gone. I walked towards the elevator and when I almost reached the elevator, the door a few feet away from it started to budge. Jim ran to the door and tried to put his weight on it so it couldn't move. Then there was force applied to the door on the other side, trying to get through. Eventually, the door flew open and a zombie walked out.
Jim panicked and through himself on the floor, playing dead. The zombie stared at Jim for a few seconds and then when after me. "Shit," I said to myself. I took out my folding knife and started slashing at the zombie until it fell to the floor. Jim then got up and started kicking it while it was down. "Bitch! That's what you get!" shouted Jim at the zombie. I smacked him on the back of his head for his stupidity and the door opened again, but this time the rest of the group walked through, along with Cindy. "So, we're all here now?" I asked. Everyone nodded and we all went back into the elevator. George looked at the buttons and said, "Looks like the second floor basement and rooftop are open now." He pressed the rooftop button and arrived after a matter of seconds. We all walked out and heard someone screaming and a lot of wings flapping. We all ran towards the sound and saw a police officer trying to fight off some crows.
The police officer grabbed a sub machinegun and fired about ten shots at the crows and killed them all. He then leaned against the wall and began to breathe very hard. We ran to him and he spoke to Kevin. "Oh, you're here... Glad you could make it. Here, take these and get out of here," said the officer as he handed over a burst handgun with some handgun rounds and his sub machinegun. "Take care..." said the officer with his last breath and closed his eyes. Kevin handed over the burst handgun to Jim and held onto the sub machinegun. We went back into the elevator and headed down to the second floor basement. We cautiously stepped out and then George began to think. "What's on your mind, George?" I asked. He said, "Isn't it odd that the leech man hasn't appeared for sometime now?" The door opened behind us and a voice said, "That's because the leech man burned to death." Yugi and his group walked out and Bakura ran to the end of the hall with a cardkey in his hand. He inserted the cardkey into the card reader and the door was unlocked. "Let's go," said Bakura as he entered the room.
We all ran into the room and found ourselves in the sewers with a motorboat docked, locked with a padlock. "Is that what that padlock key's for?" I asked George. He nodded and took some of the first aid supplies there. Everyone grabbed all the ammunition in the room and shared it equally. "So, it's just a matter of waiting for them to arrive, isn't it?" I asked.
Kaiba's POV
We've searched all over the second floor and still haven't found that cardkey. "You sure he said second floor and not first floor?" said Mai running up a set of stairs from the first floor. Mai came up the stairs with a cardkey in her hand. "That's the cardkey. Nice job," I said. I pressed the button to call the elevator up and Mai got everyone to catch up with us. As the elevator opened, a zombie walked out. I aimed my handgun at the zombie and looked at its face, as if the zombie I was staring at looked familiar. Mokuba shouted, "It's Espa Roba! He's a zombie, shoot him!" He had a point, but he's not that important now. I aimed t his forehead and shot a direct hit through his head, causing him to fall immediately. We all went into the elevator and went to the first floor basement. We all went out and headed towards the end of the corridor, where a card reader was. I slid the card through the card reader and a loud bang right next to me made me jump. I looked to find a zombie stuck behind a fence, trying to get through. Umbra and Lumis held the fence so it wouldn't break down, letting the zombie go. "Stay here," I said to the others entering through the door. I aimed my handgun out in front of me and walked down the corridor cautiously. As soon as I turned the first corner, a zombie lunged at me, but I dodged it and ran past it to the other corner.
Another zombie lunged at me and grabbed me. It tried to bite me, but I held it by its neck with one hand and shot him point-blank through his head and ran straight and through the door. I took a breather and thought about where to go. I found some herbs nearby, but no padlock key there. There was a set of stairs that led to the sewers. I went down the stairs and heard someone breathing heavily. "Damn leeches... Try to avoid them so you don't end up like me," said the person. I went into the knee-deep waters and ran past the leeches to another platform. I jumped onto the platform and found a dead doctor holding something in his hand. I grabbed his hand and found the padlock key in his hand. I took it and went back into the water. As soon as I got in, the doctor quickly rose and turned around quickly. "Holy shit... He's a 'super zombie'" I said. I ran to the other platform and the 'super zombie' jumped into the water and chased after me. I ran up the stairs and through the door as it continued to chase me.
I closed the door behind me and leaned against the door. Three zombies were heading my way as the super zombie behind me tried to break down the door. I shot all three of the zombies in the head and ran. The super zombie broke down the door and continued his pursuit. I ran through the door and everyone looked at me oddly. "Run like hell! There's a super zombie on the loose!" They all ran to the elevator and the zombie on the other side of the fence broke through. "Crap!" I shouted. I ran for the elevator and the super zombie and the zombie chased after me. I through myself into the elevator and quickly pressed the close button. "Close damnit!" I shouted at the elevator. The door closed and we all took a deep breath for what we had just escaped. We went down to the second floor basement and ran to the door at the end of the corridor. We all went in and saw everyone in the room, including the small motorboat. "Now how the hell are we supposed to escape on that?" I asked.
I unlocked the padlock with the padlock key and thought about who would go. Kevin, David, George, and Jim volunteered to go and come back for the others. They went in and turned on the motorboat and went. We all watched from the platform and moments later, the motorboat exploded. Marik looked and asked, "Are they...?" Five things popped out from the water, heading our way. "That must be them, but what's that last thing?" I asked. I hopped into the water and ran down to catch up with them while everyone followed. As soon as we caught up with them, an extremely, huge leech rose up from the water. "What are you waiting for? Shoot it!" shouted David. Kevin was the only one shooting and shouted, "Give me a hand, dipshit!" Everyone took out the weapon they had and attacked the creature. After about a thousand bullets, which is an exaggeration I know, it finally died. "So... do we go down the sewers by foot now?" I asked.
