Chapter 2: The Nuclear Power Plant

We headed towards the plant in the helicopter. I looked out the window and saw the plant. There were about 20 sections connected to a huge building about 10 stories high. The whole place was in darkness.

"When we land have your guns pointed out towards the helicopter door," said the leader, "These soldiers are tough fighters and have excellent aim. So they most likely began to fire on us… Screw this. In summary, they are good shooters and they'll try to kill us on the way out of the helicopter, so be ready."

"I don't believe you," said a member of the team. As soon as we landed, that member jumped out helicopter and was right away killed by a hoard of Replica soldiers charging in towards the helicopter.

"Everyone!" shouted the leader taking cover from the bullet fire, "Go!" Everyone jumped out of the helicopter and began firing on the Replicas. When it was all over, only 7 out of 10 members that came survived this fire fight.

"All they all ways this brutal on everyone?" I said to the leader, "And guessing, how many are left?"

"Well, yes," he said, "And by a guess and judging this opening attack on us. I say about hundreds more await us on the inside on the building."

"See you," shouted the pilot to us, "Radio me when you're done so I can come pick you up."

I watch as he and the helicopter take off. As it was about 20 ft off the ground, some shot a rocket at it. The whole copter explode and turned into a fire ball as it crashed into the ground.

Everyone took cover behind crates and barrels. "This isn't much cover considering this shooter has a Multi-Rocket Launcher he's using," said the leader. He was right; we need this shooter out of the way.

I turned towards one of the members, Jackson, who had sniper rifle. I saw that he was looking for the shooter. He better find to person who attack quickly or we are all dead.

"He-he," giggled a girl voice, "You seem in trouble. I suggest that your friend aims towards the top of one of the semi-trucks over there."

I turned to were the voice came from. But there was no one around. But I did thought I saw a girl disappear into some shadows.

"Hey!" I said, "Jackson aim towards the semi trucks!"

"Why?" he said.

"Just do it!" I said, "Trust me!"

"Fine!" said Jackson in a not believing way. He then looked towards the semi trucks. Then he fired a shot.

He then gave me a surprise look. "Good call," he said, "How did you know?"

"Ah," I said, "A lucky guess?" I wouldn't want to tell them about the girl. They would think I'm nuts.

"This is going to take some time," I said, "We're going to be here for awhile."

"What?" said another member named Maria, "What gave you that idea?"

"Was it after the helicopter was destroyed," said Jackson, "Or after the landing ambush."

"Ha ha," I said sarcastically, "I'm not in the mood for a joke. This is serious. We are stranded out in the middle of no were with a crazy army of soldiers who what to massacre us! We need a plan."

Everyone looked at the leader. "What?" he said, "Am I suppose to have a plan for everything?"

"You brought us here without a plan?" said Maria horrified, "We're dead!"

"Be positive!" said another member named Rich, "Try to have a positive look on life right now, ok?"

"Fine!" said Maria, "We'll get blasted with bullets but the pain will go away quick as we die!"

"We're not going to die!" said the leader, "I fought them before and I didn't die! Just follow my lead!"

We all walked up to the front door. Everyone had their guns ready and reloaded. This time, we didn't want any surprises, like our first steps here. Everyone was still auguring with Maria that we weren't die.

Everyone position themselves against the wall. The leader counted to 5 then broke the door down. A shower of bullet can shooting out. But all the bullets didn't hit our leader. In fact, he was moving so quickly, we couldn't keep up following him with our eyes.

In a moment the gun fire stopped coming out. Then the leader stop moving. I took a look inside. All the soldiers were dead.

"How did you move that fast?" I said, "That's not humanly possible!"

"Well," he said, "For me it is possible." And I didn't say any more about it.

We all walked in and took a look the place. The place was bloody mess. The window were shatters. Bodies laid everywhere. Bullet holes were everywhere in the walls. But for a war scene, there was no sound. Just the eerie silence before disaster was in the building as far as we knew.

"This is it?" said Rich disappointed, "I thought there be more then this!"

All of sudden, an ambush of Replica Soldiers stormed the room. Everyone in the room dove for cover behind desks or crates. Unfortunately, one of the members wasn't quick enough and was gunned down.

"Was this the excitement you wanted?" I said.

"Shut up," he said taking a shot from behind a desk.

I took a look from the desk. Many of the Replicas were still standing. I need a better gun, this shotgun aims for crap. I notice my fallen comrade had a Sub-Machine Gun. That could be of help, but I had to reach it in the open in front of the entire Replicas.

"Hey!" I shouted to one of the members over the gun fire called Kaitlyn, "Cover me! I'm going for the machine gun."

She gave me the thumbs up sign. I then dove for the gun and she fired at the soldiers now aiming at me. I slid right into gun, grabbed it, and fired quickly at them before they all could react.

Soon, all of them were dead. I pushed myself up off the floor. "Whoa," I thought, "I hope I don't have to do that again."

The leader ran over to me and said, "That was stupid, crazy, not well thought out at all, and dangerous. We need more new recruits like you who react better to these kinds of situations."

"Now what?" I said.

"We should try splitting up into teams of 2," said the leader, "This way we cover more ground. But then again, we might be better if we all stay together as a pack."

"A pack?" said Jackson, "This isn't boy, girl, cub, or what ever the…"

"I don't want back talk from you," said the leader, "So we'll split into teams. Maria and you (he's pointing at me) are one team. Jackson and Kaitlyn are the other. Then finally, Rich and I are the last team."

Then we split up. I saw Jackson and Kaitlyn go down the hall to offices, Rich and the leader went towards the parking garage, while Maria and I went towards the nuclear containment center.

"Do you think this was a good idea to split up?" I said to Maria.

"No!" She said with a worried voice, "They going to pick us off one by one! We're going to die!"

"Why did you even agree to go with this idea of splitting up?" I said.

"Well," she said, "I kind of wanted to spend time with you."

I gave her a look and said, "You could have done that while everyone was together."

"Yeah," she said, "But…"

"Forget it," I said, "I don't want to know at all."

Author Noticed: Hey! I try if you think I should describe the gun shootout more. I'm not that good with firefights.

To metroid13, you sound like you hate this story a lot. So why do you keep reading this? Also, the reason I bother to keep on writing this is because I want to, and I did want to be the 1st person to write an F.E.A.R. story on this website.

So to all, keep on reviewing. I enjoy these questions on this story. Also, I have other stories, but I'm not sure if you would like them, so you might be stuck with this story.
