Tank and Niko continued fortifying their makeshift barricades, locking doors and nailing boards to windows.
Tankini pressed Tech for information, "didn't the Professor say what to do if you did actually raise the dead?"
Tech flipped through the pages of The Book, "no, he probably didn't think we'd be stupid enough to…oh." He pulled out a slip of paper. "Dear Friends – if you are reading this then I must assume one of you-against my explicit instructions-HAS read from the book (probably Tech.) If this is the case I fear for your lives…you dumbasses. I recommend you prepare for the ensuing undead assault – there are weapons in the basement and some tools out in the shed. The fate of the world may now rest upon your shoulders so don't mess up. Be careful."
Niko stroked his chin, "mmm. Encouraging."
Tech sighed, "how'd he know it was me?"
"Forget that." Tank stood up, "to the basement!" Tech lifted the hatch and they walked down the stairs. There was a gun cabinet at the base of the stairs with a Remington 1100 shotgun, two AMT Hardballer pistols and a Colt Single Action Army.
Tech picked up the engraved revolver, "sweeet!" Niko took the Remington and Tank and Tankini took a Hardballer each.
At the sound of banging from upstairs they took positions in the living room, backs to each other, facing a window each. Almost on cue 4 Deadites burst through the windows one at a time, each one looking down the barrel of a vicious weapon.
Tank and Tankini levelled their hardballers, "wait for it…"
Niko snapped the barrel of his shotgun into position, "GTA!"
Tech pulled back on the hammer of his SAA, "come get some."
They fired together and scored 4 headshots on the approaching demons. But as quickly as they had fallen others rose to take their places. More shots rang out through the old cabin and more monsters fell to the floor.
Tank dropped his empty clip and reloaded his pistol, "there's too many of them!"
Niko fired another two shots into the crowd that was still increasing in size. "Keep it together, man! We can regroup before the next wave."
There was a crack of wood as boards covering the shattered bedroom window were smashed down. Tankini ran down the corridor, "I'm on it."
The remaining three continued to fight back as they were slowly surrounded. Tankini flew back into the room with an axe in her hands and cut down the undead beasts. Fighting together it wasn't long before all the Deadites were subdued.
Tank unlocked the front door, "if there are more weapons in the tool shed – we'll definitely need them."
They ran to the shed not far from the cabin but too far away from the car that had apparently been sabotaged by the evil creatures. The shed door swung to reveal a pair of gardening shears and a custom chainsaw designed to go over a person hand. Tech grabbed it; "I'll take that!"
On their way back to the cabin Niko watched as one of the spirits flew through the air and into a tree. This was shortly followed by a grabbing at his legs by tree roots. "Arrgh! I don't wanna get raped!"
Tech cut through the roots, helped Niko up and pushed him towards the cabin. With Niko inside, Tank held the door open and motioned for Tech to hurry. He almost reached the door but another of the evil spirits appeared in front of him and sent him flying back into a tree.
