These kids had been through Arc training before so they had the stomach power to keep their lunch.
"Alright men, you know what to do! If it's trying to kill you it's a threat! DO NOT HESITATE I want a call in from leaders every half hour. If you send out pairs they will update every 15 minutes understood?"
"Whoo-ra!"
The teams broke off on there respected directions. The team that covered the south was almost wiped out, but that part of the compound had already been cleared and the air lock shut. It was the gold team that was hit first.
"Crow what the hell is going on?"
"We've been ambushed! Widow, the son's of bitchs knew we were coming! It's a trap!"
"What the hell makes you say that?"
"These halls are a labyrinth they have no point Widow. We're rats and..."
Gun shots were heard ove the comms followed by screams and screams of the demons. Suddenly the nother air lock slammed shut and sealed. They were trapped. When the other teams got to the door Reaper tried to unlock the door, but none of his codes would unlock it.
"I'm being overriden! Crow was right it is a trap!"
"Reaper we got to get to the Arc."
Right than demons came from every where. There were bodies, human and demons alike, being thrown every which way.
"Widow, fall back to the east airlock!"
"Move out men, you heard him fall back to the east airlock. Move it!"
Once everyone had made it behind the airlock it was shut and a sealed. Reaper had picked the east because he knew it was the smallest area to cover and had the best coverage.
"What the hell do we do now!"
"Did you see the way they tricked Crow. He was the smart one of all of us!"
"Well Phantom, none of us seem to smart right now do we!"
"Ok, we need to figue out why they wanted us here? I mean are we dealing with an Alien vs. Predator here or what?"
" A WHAT NOW!"
"It's a earily 21th centry movie this humanoid like thing got all these scientist and stuff down to this tempke in Antirtica and than impregnated them with aliens so they could hunt them, but than the aliens outsmarted them or at least I think that's what happend. I was spooning was this really hot girl when I was watching it so I could be..."
"Phantom, you need to shut the fuck up!"
"Sorry, Sir..."
"No, maybe Phantom has something. I mean you can turn in to one of those things right?"
"Yeah, I mean we can't because we've all been tested."
"Yeah, but they don't know that!"
"So..."
"So, maybe their on brink of exstinction. They have to have other people to infect right? Why eles eould they build this trap?"
"But they brought the wrong group if that's true. So none of us will turn..."
"No we'll all just die!"
"Ok, Batman, what do we do now, just wait for all of us to get killed until they figure out that none of us are up to getting tounged?"
"No, we go out there and kill em!"
"He's right! If his theroy is correct the species is all but spent...They keep coming at us like this and we just hurry their trip to the exstinction list!"
"But what if Batman is wrong. What if they were just bored fo the same shit Widow! They work up one night and thought hey left get all these stupid humans together put them in a rat maze and see how many we can kill! Maybe all this is their verison of the olympic games!"
"Reaper you know better than anyone...There just demons...They think of nothing but food and surviving!"
"All I'm trying to say is we don't have the knowlegde to make any...Wait did you hear that?"
"No...I didn..."
"Shh, everyone get down."
Reaper slowly made his way to the corner he quickly flashed his light and saw a group of about 15 smaller demons racing towards him. He began to unload.
"Widow! Widow!"
Before he realized it the the tall 1st lieutenant was next to him. He heard her pull the clip off two grandes. She threw them and quickly grabed Reaper adn dove behind the corner. They other 17 men cam to their aid, but soon realized that the two had handled it themselves.
"Nice of you to show up."
Reaper was bothered by the rush of emotions he felt by the proximity to Widow. Why had he called for only her? It wasn't like him to call for any one in a battle and lately,since Sam, he never asked anyone for help in anything.
"Ok, First of all where the FUCK did they come from. We cleared this part there isn't any other entrnces except the airlock, right?"
"Right, unless..."
'It seems we have a problem with rats boys.'
Jamie could hear French's voice clear as day in her head
"Unless what Cockram?"
Jamie just pointed upwards.
"Shit, the vents? We'd hear them though."
Cockram just shook her head. She was have flashbacks and was having a hard time concentrating.
"Why wouldn't we hear them Cockram?"
"Answer her Jamie."
"Remember when they said the couldn't identify what this compound was made of. Well, it's a metal not to different from titanium. Which means it's so think we couldn't hear a thing."
Zach thought to himself 'Why couldn't the school have that.'
"You should have metioned that before people starting dying!"
Some kid from a different company was yelling at Jamie. She just looked up sadly.
"I'm sorry."
Widow could see that something was bothering the young girl.
"It's not your fault we were briefed on that. It's just one of those little things we looked over."
"Alright so they are fucking with us. We've lost 56 people already. There are 19 of us against a dying race that thinks that we are their last hope for survivel, but little do they know we can't be infected...Our only way out is shut down. So calling anyone in is out of the question. What do we do?"
"C-24."
"What?"
"We've all been tested right?"
"Right?"
"We inject ourseleves with the C-24"
"No, way man. No offence Reaper, but I'm not ready to be a science project yet!"
"It's won't help!"
"What's the matter Reaper! Afraid fro someone eles to be superhuman! Got to have all that power to you're self? Guess what Grimm you weren't enough to save your sister and you won't save us!"
Repear was up and across the hall towards Batman before anyone could stop him. He pinned him against the wall and using only half of his strength he lefted the sniper off the ground. Jamie jumped to Josh's side, but Zach grabbed her arm.
"You ever mention my sister again I will kill you."
"What are you going to do pull a Sarge? I thought you weren't..."
Repear tighted his grip slightly.
"No, I won't shoot you boy. I'll tare you apart. Do you understand me?"
The boy shook his head in complance. Reaper dropped him and Batman sat there while rubbing hsi throat.
"No one wants this curse!"
Reaper yelled with his back turned to everyone. Widow went to him and rested her hand on his shoulder.
"I would have killed him John."
"No you wouldn't of. You would have wanted to,but you wouldn't."
"Well maybe, but I would have come close."
Reaper turned and looked her in the eyes. She was only two inches shorter than him.
"I promise to get you out of here alive."
She looked up at him. His eyes were darker than usual. This man infront of her had became a companion over the last month.She was the only one that he would talk to about Sam, about anything really. His life was one of tragedy and heart break. She worked hard to get were she was, but she wasn't scared and harded by tragedy like Reaper. She had made this wall on her own she wanted it. Reaper didn't have a choice. She felt pitty for him,but she didn't show it. She admired him. She was a soldier that was it she lived for it. She had feeling for this man feelings she didn't fully understand. She knew she was the only one he trusted, but she didn't understand why.
"I promise I'll get myself out of here."
"Rory..."
He could see her flinch at that name.
"Widow, I don't know what to do...Wait...Shit."
"What?"
"I was wrong they drew the right group here."
She looked at him with a confused look.
"Think about it, If you have us up here trapped. What do you have at the Arc on the other side."
"Oh fuck, but wait we're in the middle of BFE. Who are they going to infect we shipped everyone out."
"It makes sense now..."
"What makes sense Tugman?"
"The encrypted code sent out right when we got here. It was a code only Dr. Grimm had."
"What was the message Tugman."
"It was a satellite relay that Dr.Grimm was only allowed to use if the station needed reinforcements."
"The 911 code. SHIT!"
"I told Crow about it when we got here. He was suppose to tell Widow. I guess he didn't have the chance."
"Ok, so what does this satellite code do?"
"It sends reinforcments in full flidge from everywhere, I mean Airforce,NASA,Marines. Hell it may even call the peace corp for god sake!"
"That base is flooded with 900 or more people. Most of them haven't been tested."
"Fuck, get Caretaker on the horn..."
"We already tried Widow. We have no communticons."
"Tugman how long!"
"They wait for 5 hours to make sure the code isn't called off before coming."
"HOW LONG?"
"Two hours tops."
"Fuck!"
"Ok so they have us locked in here with the only human left that can beat them."
"That's why they killed Sam. They knew that was the only way I would come here. I am the reason Sam died."
"But how did they know about you?"
Zach spoke up for the first time in awhile.
"They can sense him."
"What?"
"Demon 101, How do you think the demons don't attack each other. They sense the 24th chromosome in the demon. Right? Some how they can sense the difference between the two. Just like on Mars with Lucy and her baby!"
"So you're the fucking reason we're here! I'll kill you myself?"
"Back off Batman."
"Stand down Dean!"
Both Zach and Skott yelled at their friend. It wasn't until Jamie stood between Josh and Reaper that Josh calmed down.
"Come on Josh, it's not his fault."
Josh knew that he was acting irrational, but the loss of Jay was to much to bear. Since that day they had sworn to watch out for each other and were closer than any family. Widow looked on the group in front of her. It was more tight knit than her or Reaper could grasp.
"He's the reason Jay is dead! He wasn't suppose to die! None of us were. We surivived once for a reason! He wasn't done living! He was family! Does no body remember all the thing he did. Does no body beside me care that we've lost a brother!"
"I care son. I know what the loss of a person close to you can do. If I didn't I wouldn't be here. I do understand, but fighting me isn't going to bring your friend back. Let's get out of here and make sure no one looses anyone else. What do you say?"
Reaper walked over to were the boy sat and held out his hand. Josh looked at Jamie and than back to Reaper.
"Whoo-rah."
Josh whisper as he grabed Reaper's hand. John nodded and added his own Whoo-rah. Soon the whole company was saying it.
"Ok we wait until the Arc has been actived, we run like hell get though it and blow it up. Than fight what ever demons get though."
"Is there a plan B?"
"Dying."
"Ok, not that one. We'll just leave plan B alone."
Just than the air lock let out a hiss and swung open. The group was rushed by fifty or some demons.
"Guess they like plan B!"
"They're just decoys! Head to the Arc!"
Reaper was the first out followed by Widow, than Batman and Jamie, than the fifteen others. Tugman was taken down by a pinky demon. Two other solders were dragged down by raptors. The decoys were droping fast, but Reaper could see the hoard flooding the Arc.
"Fuck em, get to the Arc!"
When they got to the Acr there were only four of them left. Josh turned and couldn't see Jamie anywhere.
"Where is Cockram?Jamie!"
"Keep moving, Batman!"
"Not without her!"
"Come on Josh!"
"FUCK YOU!"
Phantom went and grabbed his friend and pulled him through the Arc. Once the two were on the ground the Phantom got up and joined Widow and Reaper with throwing the ST grandes into the Arc. Than they turned their sights to the blood bath that was happending on the surface of earth. The had failed. The demons had out smarted mankind. They had reached earth.
