The Deadite hobo lumbered towards the group as they brainstormed. "The Necronomicon! Someone here must have it!" Tank said as they stumbled backwards,
Niko swiped the air in front of the monster, "but who?" They came up with their backs against a wall.
Scott pulled out a cigar, "now seems a good a time as any to start smoking. Mmm-mmm! Tastes like Cuban woman's leg!"
Tankini fumbled a revolver out of her bag and fired a few times. The last shot brought the clumsy zombie crumbling down. "Let's go!" She pulled Scott away from smoking and they ran down a back alley. As the cigar hit the ground more creatures began to rise up from the ground.
They stopped halfway down the fifth alley and caught their breath. "We're…screwed. We got no weapons or anything!" Niko panted.
"We need a plan," Tank ventured as he turned to Scott.
"Hmm…pie?"
Tankini pushed him aside, "we're gonna need weapons. Then we find the book and…do whatever we did last time. Scott can you remember the incantations?"
"Hmm…pie?"
"But where do we find weapons?" Tank asked the team.
Niko laughed, "we're in Russia!" They turned round the corner and saw three gun shops on the same street. "My favourite kind of shopping…"
They regrouped a few minutes later – Tank had a police issue Spas 12 in his hands, Niko had located an AK, Tankini loaded ammo into a Bull .480 and Scott had…a baseball bat. They all looked at him sceptically. "C'mon. C'mon. Yeah yeah yeah yeah!"
They pushed onwards looking at the purple sky. Tankini licked her finger and stuck it in the air. "That swirling in the sky must be from the portal. So we find the start of the swirling, we find the portal…"
"…then we find the book." Tank and Niko said en masse. They struggled through the thick snow which lined every street.
Eventually stopping at a hill top, the team looked out across the landscape trying to pinpoint the portal point of origin. Scott pulled out some binoculars and lay down, scanning the flat land. "No, I don't see any Zombies. Wait a minute…I see one now. They're Deadites all right." One of the aforementioned beings rose up suddenly in front of them, catching everyone off-guard. Tank blasted into the thing and the rounds ripped it into grisly shreds of matter. Shaken up but still alive, Tankini took hold of the binoculars and zoomed in on some action outside of a fancy building.
She put down the equipment down and pointed. "Down there! It's the Substitutes! Izzy, Payne, Arrow, Breaton, Newt – they're all here! And they need our help!"
Niko reloaded swiftly, "well let's not disappoint them." They sprinted down the hill, single file, to help their endangered comrades.
