Mayhem: Trouble
We all watch Motoyuki go through the door to retrieve Shinobu's stuff. I look at her, who I'm babysitting at the moment, wondering how she's even alive. With all the zombies we killed, there is no way someone like her should be alive. Then again, she must be an excellent swordsperson with all the blood dripping down her blade.
"Shit man! What's taking Popcorn so long?!" Jeffery yells out. I swear. He's the most impatient guy I ever met.
"Dammit! He's only been gone for 30 seconds," I yell back.
"He will come back," Tèa cries. "I don't want to leave him behind." She looks really worried about him. I know that he likes her and that they been hanging around a lot recently after work, but the expression she's giving off is one of a wife wondering if her husband will come back from a war.
"Don't worry Tèa," Randy says, trying to calm her down. "I've known him for years. He will..." He stops talking as we hear something breaking.
"What was that?" Tèa ask. Before any of us know what to say next, we hear gunfire. "What's going on?"
"I don't know, but I'm going in there to find out," Jeffery says, ready with his sub-machinegun. He has only been here for a few months, but I know that he loves a gun fight and is very trigger happy.
As he walks by, I notice that there is a window connecting to the next room. Suddenly it breaks, causing him to duck under since he was standing next to it. I cover Shinobu and shield my eyes from any flying pieces of shattered glass. Once there is only silence, I look around and see that the thing that broke the glass is a body. As a reflex, I put my gun out, but with holding her in one hand and actually noticing that the body on the floor wearing the S.T.A.R.S. uniform, I don't fire. I run up to the body, bringing her with me.
"Motoyuki! Are you all right?" I watch him slowly get up, groaning.
"Uhhh...am I dead yet?" Shinobu and I help him up to his feet.
"What happened?" I hear pounding on the door. I turn to look and see it flying to the other side of the wall as a large monster steps in the room.
"That!" Motoyuki says, pointing at the monster. It's tall, ten to thirteen feet at least. The faint yellow skin looks really decayed. The sickly face looks like all the zombies we killed and the third eye is creeping me out!
"What the hell is that thing?" Jeffery asks, brushing off the shattered glass as he gets up.
"I don't fucking know, but whatever it is, it's dead." Randy pulls out his gun, pointing it at the monster. I notice Tèa doing the same thing and Jeffery with his sub-machine gun. "On my command...FIRE!" All three of them shoot at the monster. I pull out my berretta when Motoyuki begins to shout.
"NO! DON'T! SHOOTING IT DOESN'T WORK!" What? I look closer at the monster being shot at and notice bullets bouncing off it's skin. Soon, everyone else notices this and stops shooting.
"Oh my God. What the hell is that thing?" Tèa says as the monster notices her. She's too much in fear to move as the monster walks towards her.
"NO YOU FUCKING DON'T!" Jeffery yells, getting in front of Tèa. With no other choice, he fires his sub-machine gun at the monster. He must of hit a weak spot, causing the monster to yell in pain. I see it's arms raise, about to hit my teammates. Luckily Randy knocks them to the side before that happened. Shinobu and I run over to help them up. Motoyuki comes over to give us cover from the monster.
"You guys all right?" I ask, helping up Randy.
"Yeah! Yeah!"
"Damn! I must have hit a nerve to cause it to yell like that." Jeffery says.
"NO YOU DON'T!" Motoyuki yells out, continuing to fire at the monster. "Get the fuck back here!" I notice him putting away his gun and taking out his knife. I don't know what he's thinking, but I doubt that'll work. I grab his arm before he could advance.
"What's wrong Popcorn?"
"The damn thing isn't hurt! It's going after Kasuga-san!"
"What? How do you know that?"
"Because it yelled 'copter'!" The rest of us realize that the monster is going up the stairs.
"Oh shit! Kenjiro!" Randy yells. "Popcorn! Tèa! Stay here with the girl. Jeffery! An! Let's stop that bitch!"
The three of us run towards the monster as it quickly goes up the stairs. We watch it grab the door and throw it at us. We all jump off the stairs, landing hard on the wooden floor. We quickly get up and run up the stairs, knowing that Kenjiro's life is in danger.
Once we reach the roof, we watch helplessly as the monster smashes the front of the helicopter, pulling out Kenjiro.
"Oh no," Randy weakly says.
"Shit! What do we do?" Jeffery ask.
"I'm open to suggestions."
"I have an idea!" I yell, pulling out my sniper rifle and aiming at one of the monster's eyes, hearing Kenjiro screaming. We know that bullets just bounce off it's skin, but the eye is one of the most sensitive part of the body. Since it isn't part of the skin, I should cause some damage making it drop Kenjiro.
The monster moves around, but not much. I steady my hands, making sure I don't miss my target. I block out Kenjiro's cries as I pull the trigger. Everything seems to be in slow motion. I can see the bullet leaving the chamber and traveling closer and closer to the eye. Once it reaches, the damn bullet bounces right off!
"NO FUCKING WAY!!!" I yell, lowering my rifle in disgust.
"What the fuck did you shoot at?" Jeffery asked.
"It's eye."
"And that did work?!" Randy screams. "This bitch is fucking unstoppable!"
We watch the monster staring at us as Kenjiro continues screaming. I can't tell the facial expression on it's face, but the monster seems to be smiling. In a heart beat, he screams no more as blood explode from the monster's hand.
"NO!" We all yell. The monster drops Kenjiro's lifeless body to the floor and slowly walks towards us.
"What do we do now?" I ask.
"Jeffery and I will distract the monster," Randy answers. "You go get Popcorn, Tèa and that girl and get the hell out of here!" I couldn't believe what I'm hearing. Is he really telling me to leave him and Jeffery behind?
"But sir..."
"Look! Both Tèa and Popcorn have the device to blow up this city. Now go down and protect them!"
"What about you two?"
"We'll be fine. Just go," Jeffery assures me. I watch them spilt up and fire at the monster before running down the stairs to join the others.
"What's going on up there?" Tèa ask.
"Randy and Jeffery are distracting the monster so we can get out of here."
"But what about Kasuga-san?" Motoyuki asks. I hesitate in telling him because they have worked together for so long, but he has to know.
"He's dead. The monster killed him." Motoyuki looks at me as if I'm joking while Tèa is about to cry. "Now we got to get out of here."
"How?"
"Her," I point to Shinobu. "She might know a way." Motoyuki turns to her and speaks in Japanese. Once he's done, he turns back to me.
"She does. But say it might be riskiest with all the dead walking around."
"Unless she knows how to fly a helicopter, we're going to have to take that risk. Now, Tèa, you take lead. I know you're inexperienced and a little scared, but Motoyuki is the only one that can talk to the girl. I'll get rear incase that monster comes after us. Motoyuki, you and Shinobu are in the middle and protect her!" He tells her the plan and they all nod in agreement.
Tèa leads us out, followed by Motoyuki, Shinobu and me. We go down the stairs and hear gun fire before entering the small room. Once I do, I see a lot of zombies in our way.
"Move around them! Save your ammo for the ones in the street!" I yell, running pass them and out the room. I wait patiently for them before continuing.
We run down the stairs, into the next floor. I'm worry about the zombies we left in the ground floor, knowing we have to get pass them. Then I fell a small tremor beneath my feet. I stop running as I watch Motoyuki fall and slide across the hallway.
"Are you all right?" Tèa ask, helping him up.
"I'm fine! Thanks." I notice the ceiling dropping small chunks of wood onto the floor.
"What the hell is going on?" More and more pieces of wood fall. Since I'm near the door, I pull Shinobu towards me incase the ceiling collapse. Once nothing else happens, we walk to Motoyuki and Tèa, who are on the other side of the room.
When we're in the middle of the hallway, I hear a loud thud. I look up and see the ceiling cracking above us. Before I know it, the front of the helicopter comes crushing down at us. I quickly look for an escape and find a window. I pick up Shinobu, run towards the window and jump through it before the helicopter kills the both of us.
The fall seems to take forever to end, but once it does, I wish it hadn't. I hit the top edge of a dumpster with my hip, feeling horrible pain and hearing something break. Stretching my arm to feel for the condition of my hip, I realize that I'm not holding Shinobu. I look around for her and notice the building is totally burning into an inferno. I hope everyone got out in time, especially Motoyuki and Tèa. If they didn't, then that bomb won't go off. I continue to look for Shinobu when I see her walking towards me.
"Shinobu! Come here! I slammed my hip on the dumpster and...Shinobu?" I begin to realize that the person walking towards me isn't Shinobu since they're taller then her and a bunch of other people coming at me, growling. I pull out my gun and begin to fire. I take a few out when I hear something on the other side. I turns towards the noise and see more zombies.
I pick myself up and try to run away, but the pain of my hip is too much, causing me to fall on the ground, dropping my gun. Seeing the zombies closing in on me, I crawl towards my gun. Just as I'm about to grab it, a zombie leaps in front of me. I feel that this is it. I'm too injured to fight back and soon all these other zombies are going to have me for dinner. Helplessly watching the zombie about to take a bit out of me, I see something slashes it's neck, detaching the head and falling next to my gun. I breath a sigh of relieve to see Shinobu holding her sword.
She smiles at me before taking on the zombie army. I watch her easily defeat each of them, like a warrior sent into battle. Once she kills them all, she comes over to me and helps me up. I try to stand on my own, but my hip won't let me, causing me to fall again. While I grab my hip, I feel broken pieces of something in my hand. Taking a look at it, I realize that it's my radio from when I hit the dumpster.
"Shit!" I yell out aloud, throwing the pieces into the flames. Shinobu helps me to my feet, letting me stand on her shoulder so I can walk. I feel uneasy with her doing this because I'm twice her age, but am grateful that she's helping me walk. "Hmm...huh...damn! What was 'thank you' in Japanese again?" I hear her giggling.
"It's 'arigato' and you welcome," she says, surprising me from what she says.
"You speak English?"
"A little. I not very good yet. I mean..." I notice her sweating in embarrassment.
"It's all right. I can understand you completely." I'm a little surprised to enter a zombie less street. Then again, I don't want to fight any in my condition. "Let's hurry. I busted my radio and have no idea how my team is doing." She nods as we move as fast as possible to reach the others, hoping there won't be any surprises.
GOOD OR BAD, PLEASE REVIEW =)
