Chapter 7: Collision Course

0001 hours

Dr. Clancy's discovered temple

Valley of the kings, Egypt

Elaine woke up from a frightful dream, gasps escaped from her lungs in irregular intervals. She looked around the small dim room and saw Kelly sitting on a box staring at a doorway in extreme concentration. Elaine stood up, dizziness hit her hard, but she quickly corrected herself and went up to Kelly.

"Your finally up," Kelly said as she saw Elaine come up to her.

"What happened, why do I have a bandage on my shoulder?" Elaine asked.

"You saved my life, while we were shooting you saw a infection form lunge at me while my back was turned. You must have blocked it and took he blow for me. Luckily we took the larva out before it could do any serious damage." Kelly said with a smile (or something close to one).

"Wow, I did all that?"

"Yep, for that I owe you a favor," Kelly said with a wink. Elaine smiled but it quickly went away as she heard the distinct growl of the flood. Kelly stood up with her SMG's at hand and slowly approached the doorway. Her bulk moved with a deadly grace as she leaned against the wall and moved slowly. She faced the door with unnerving speed, but saw nothing. Her body did not relax as she went back to the box and sat down. Echoes sounded as footsteps approached the doorway, the rest of the group arrived. All of them looked ragged and tired, especially her twin Dr. Halsey. They sat down and started re tell their story to Elaine, about they fought the flood of for about an hour and they tried to keep her stabilized. They used most of their ammo to fight off the biggest wave of flood. The flood even used human weapons against them. The guns the previous groups had, WWII era weapons, French and English muskets, and even swords and Egyptian scythes. James and Jay got hurt during the fight and now had makeshift rags as bandages and gauze. They all were all tired and ragged, they knew if they didn't do something this temple could very well become their tomb. Through all they fighting they recovered the object that was in the center of the room, a T- shaped object that glowed and would occasionally change colors. Also there was a cube right next to object, it seemed to be some sort of chip because of its silicone exterior. Finally after much debate the group decided to move about the temple to see if they could find some sort of exit. The group slowly stood up on their weary bones and moved on leaving the room in quiet, the way it had been for a millennia.

The group finally arrived to a room; they had traveled for a few hours down a slowly descending hallway that seemed to go for miles. The room came to surprise to them because it had a sleek metal booth in the middle of it. The booth stood sharply unnatural in the stone room, as if it wasn't part of the designer's plans. The group slowly circled around the booth until the booth opened as if by magic. It exposed a small space with nothing in it, the walls were smooth brushed steel. The group looked wearily at the booth, they knew it had a purpose but they were afraid to find out. Suddenly the group turned to see infection forms swarm the room, they let out a barrage of bullets. But they kept on coming; they were soon replaced with combat forms, which attacked with a force they couldn't handle. Hammers clicked and the fighting stopped… They ran of ammo, the flood paused as if giving them a chance to run. They slowly backed up until they hit the booth, looks of worry flashed through their face as they saw them poise for a fight. The group quickly went into the booth and closed the door. The flood slammed and growled, hungry for their kill. The group knew it was over and they were done for. But as quickly as their hope diminished he booth's walls glowed a blue light. The T-shaped object floated out of Dr. Halsey's bag. It glowed brightly and hummed with energy as it floated into a slot that appeared on the wall. The noise outside was blocked out by the hum in the booth. The hum grew louder as if it was charging, then utter silence filled the temple. Then the energy overflowed and it flooded the booth. Everyone in the booth was surrounded by a yellow glow. Everyone felt themselves fall apart, as if their molecules lost their bonds. Kelly was the only one who knew what was happening; she knew she was going home, she just knew it. Elaine saw everyone being consumed by the glow then disappears, her glow stopped for a second as the key floated into her hand. The glow suddenly appeared again, this time she felt herself fall apart, she then disappeared. Darkness surrounded her, for a second though she thought she heard her dad, a distant voice in the stillness. Then utter total silence.

Ha, ha! keep time: how sour sweet music is,
When time is broke and no proportion kept!
So is it in the music of men's lives…

-William Shakespeare
