Takeo was running faster than he ever had in his life, his katana swinging to clear the zombies in his way as he fought down the stairs.
Of course he had to be the one to go, his honor demanded it.
"None of you can match the honorable Takeo!" He screamed, slicing through the two zombies standing in his way, blood spouting from the cut veins and arteries, their bodies cleaved in half.
He fought his way into the broken out building, the zombie horde thinning as he neared the first door he and Dempsey had opened.
"No more dishonorable undead!" Takeo screamed, lunging through the door, spearing a zombie through the stomach and lifting him off his feet.
As he climbed onto the platform, he saw more zombies coming from all sides, and slapped the red button on the control box next to him. He hoped this was the right one.
Dempsey yelled in surprise as electric bolts came out of the top of the teleporter, blocking the zombies trying to get in and kill them.
"Richtofen, are you sure this is safe?" he asked.
"Of course, Dempshey, I designed it myself." The Doctor replied.
"That's why I'm worried." The marine muttered.
"Oh, Nikolai is seeing pretty blue lightning bolts inside? Need more vodka, I think!" Nikolai suddenly yelled, his vodka bottle pressed to his lips.
"SHI-" Dempsey yelled, the others fading from his, the familiar blue swirl coming into his vision, more scenes from someone's memories coming into his head.
"Zis is amazing, ze valnut... it moved!" Richtofen's voice floated into his mind, followed by a vision of Richtofen speaking to another man dressed like him, a mini version of a teleporter in front of them.
"Dr. Richtofen, you are telling me all you managed to do was move a walnut?" A man he assumed was Maxis' voice floated through his head, an image of Richtofen in another room, almost like an office.
"Uhh... What the fuck?" Dempsey muttered, a tube of a black liquid floating in front of his face with the words, 'Deadshot Daiquiri."
"What the fuck is a Daiquiri?" Dempsey asked nobody in particular, just speaking to himself.
That was followed by pictures of a crying little girl, a dog inside an older model of the teleporter he was inside right now.
"What the hell? Is that Samantha?" Dempsey nearly yelled the question, the little girl making him think of the supposed demonic child controlling the box and the zombies.
"Now, I undershtand ze dog is precious to you, leetle girl, but zis is for ze greater good." Richtofen's form appeared in the pictures, his voice slightly before.
The Richtofen in the picture pressed a small button on a control pad, and the teleporter initiated, the dog immediately howling out of surprise, but backing further into the small space.
For a few seconds, the electric shield hovered in front of the dog, and then the dog burst into flames, disappearing shortly after.
The pictures switched to a pad at the other side of the room, where he supposed the dog was supposed to come out of, but it never appeared.
The little girl's crying grew louder, her beloved companion gone, this time not even within her sight.
"Zis... Schuter, get me Doctor Maxis. Now!" Richtofen's voice said, the sound of hurried footsteps following.
The images suddenly ceased, and he was next to a sprawled out Nikolai, a fighting Takeo, and a standing Richtofen on the platform next to the giant Wunderwaffe that held the Pack-a-Punch machine.
"Ah... I hate teleporting... Always make me so fucking dizzy.." Nikolai said, scrambling to his feet to bash a zombie with his broken vodka bottle.
"Holy shit!" Dempsey yelled, a lightning bolt striking in front of a bent gate at the other end of the enclosed area, a glowing green form appearing. It appeared to be a golden skull.
"Samantha is just handing me powers!" Dempsey yelled, sprinting down the stairs to dive onto the skull.
"INSTA-KILL!" The demonically childish voice screamed.
"Insta-kill? So I can do this?" Nikolai asked, slapping a zombie. The zombie fell over instantly, and did not get back up.
"All right! Drunk Russian fun time!" He said, holding out both of his arms and running straight at the zombies.
"They cannot touch me!" Takeo screamed, his katana barely scraping them before they fell.
"My beauties, they fall before me in such beauty!" Richtofen yelled, his M1911 flashing as he shot.
"Kick-ass!" Dempsey yelled, kicking a zombie in the chest, sending it sprawling back into another one, and that one into another, and so on in a domino fashion.
"Come at me, fuckers!" He screamed, his fists and feet flying, zombies falling instantly before him.
"You are like 3rd wife! So easy to quit!" Nikolai yelled.
Richtofen let off a maniacal laugh, his M1911 flashing, but no zombies fell, there were none left.
"Err, Richtofen?" Dempsey asked.
"Oh... Erm... I suppose I got carried avay zer, didn't ze Doctor?" He asked, his M1911 clicking as he tried to fire an emptied clip.
"Yes, yes you did." Takeo said, sitting down on the pad.
At that moment the door guarding the Pack-a-Punch machine opened slightly, steam pouring out of it as it attempted to open all the way.
The door opened just enough for Dempsey to put his arm through. Not enough to let anyone inside.
"It is as I feared! Ve vill have to link all three of ze teleporters to ze mainframe if ve vish to Pack-a-Punch." Richtofen exclaimed, looking up at the top of the Wunderwaffe.
"Let's get going then, or my vodka will run out!" Nikolai exclaimed, running towards the all ready open path.
Back through the burned out building, up the stairs, but this time they turned left.
"Hello Double Tap." Dempsey said, seeing the yellow-orange machine.
"Keep moving, Dempshey." Richtofen said.
In front of them was a raised bridge, but there was a drop off to the right that would allow them to get down.
"Drunks first!" Takeo said, stepping out of the way to allow Nikolai to go first.
"Fine, but only if I do not die." Nikolai said, jumping down.
Takeo, Dempsey, and Richtofen followed in that order, and saw Nikolai all ready taking a spin on the box glowing in the corner in front of a power conduit.
"Ah... What the fuck is this thing?" A large grey metal looking gun was in front of Nikolai, a barrel clip on the bottom with bullets hanging out.
"Ze MG42!" Richtofen yelled, attempting to grab it.
"This is a Russian's gun, Richtofen. Get your own!" Nikolai yelled, the gun all ready in his hands.
"Good God, there's a disembodied hand on this power switch!" Dempsey exclaimed. While the two had marveled over the German heavy weapon, he had wandered over to the power conduit with Takeo and had looked around, spotting the hand on the switch.
He pulled it anyway, and the bridge above them lowered slowly, steam pouring out of the sides. Dempsey then noticed the rods on the bottom, electricity going up and down them.
"Hey, looks like a mini Wunderwaffe." Dempsey commented, walking over to the box with the others.
He noticed a red box next to them. A light on it was green, and it was wired up to the bridges underside.
"So that's how you activate that..." he said, kicking the box open.
"Dempshey, how dare you schteal my turn on ze box!" Richtofen screamed in outrage.
"Relax Ricky, it's not like you'll get anything good." He said, taking the M1A1 Thompson the box landed on.
"Good old fashioned American weaponry..." he said, almost snuggling the weapon.
Richtofen opened the box, and watched as it landed on a mainly red device with a gauge on the side. It was as small as a pistol, but had a rod sticking out at the end like a wunderwaffe.
"Ze original DG! Vy Ray Gun!" the Doctor screamed, holding the gun as if it were a newborn child.
"Another DG? Perfect." Dempsey commented.
Takeo lifted the box lid open, and watched it cycle through the weapons.
"The Lightning gun!" He screamed, taking the wunderwaffe it landed on.
"Great, now everyone but me has a super powerful weapon..." Dempsey muttered, stepping up to the box for another spin. It was a gamble, and he knew that it was chance by what you get, but he felt that the box preferred the others to him now.
He watched the weapons cycle eagerly, hoping for one of those Ray Gun things that Richtofen had gotten.
A small sound of thunder was heard when the thing the box decided to cycle to was a teddy bear.
"Fuck you teddy! You too, Sam!" Dempsey yelled, the teddy bear floating up into the sky.
A little giggle was heard, and the box floated up to, the demonic voice saying, "Bye Bye!" As if it was just visiting a friend.
Richtofen was laughing, happy to see the supposedly tough American was the only one without a powerful weapon for once.
"What's so funny, Ricky? I can do just as well and better than you even if you have that thing with you." Dempsey turned to the German, pointing to the highly advanced weapon in his hands.
"Is zat a challenge, Dempshey?"
"It most certainly is."
"I accept then, but you vill most certainly lose!" the Doctor exclaimed, sitting down to await the next wave of zombies.
"We'll see, Doc, we'll see."
"Ah, you two are like third and fourth wife, always wanting Nikolai to themselves, when Nikolai marry them both at same time." Nikolai remarked.
Dempsey and Richtofen looked confused, and looked at each other.
"Nikolai... We weren't talking about you..." Dempsey said.
"You marry two women at vonce? Vhat ze hell is vrong vit you?" Richtofen yelled, about to smack the Russian upside the head.
"I have different tastes than you two. So what, Takeo is obsessed with honor, Dempsey likes killing shit, and frankly Richtofen, you're fucking insane." The Russian said, shrugging his shoulders.
