As Tech massacred his zombified attackers his friends were still trying to escape their makeshift prison. "It's no use," Niko sighed, "he must have put something on top of it."

Tankini walked glumly down the stairs, "can't even break the lock."

Tank sat on the bottom stair, "all our weapons are up top, right. What if there's something we didn't take before. Maybe there's something still down here."

Niko gave up on the hatch, "have a look around for anything useful. We may yet save him."

It appeared however, Tech did not need saving. He sliced through more Deadites with the chainsaw and decapitated others with headshots. "Yeah! How do you like them apples!"

More and more of the walking dead closed in and were cut to pieces. Soon Tech was laughing hysterically with each disembodiment.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw one Deadite grabbing the desk, "watch out for my fist!" He smacked the creature across the room and into the wall. "You ain't getting my friends. Not on my watch!"

The Necronomicon fell to the floor. Tech watched as the creatures' gazes shifted to see it land. "Hmm." He picked it up. "You want this you gotta catch me first!" He ran out the back door of the cabin with the zombies close behind.

Meanwhile Niko was trying everything in the tool kit to open the basement hatch. "Damn it." He through a broken screwdriver down the stairs into a pile of more broken tools: a hammer, a drill, pliers and more. "Stupid crappy tools!"

Tech ran around the cabin and back through it for the fifth time, "oh man, this is getting old." He sprinted to a broken window, leapt through it and piled through the front door into the forest for the last time.

One Deadite was too close so Tech shoved the chainsaw into it…and pulled out his bare hand. He looked back to see the chainsaw lodged in the monster's belly, "uh-oh." It threw him backwards and the shotgun dropped from his grasp landing too far away.

Tank stormed up the stairs and grabbed Niko. "But I'm not done yet!" Niko cried as Tank started smashing Niko's head into the hatch. "Oh this is gonna leave a mark.

"Damned hell damning frickin' damn!" The Deadites stood in waves, advancing every second. Tech tripped over and landed on the Book. The monsters increased their speed as Tech crawled away.

Suddenly struck with inspiration he flicked through the book as he retreated, "the words to raise them was in the front so…" He turned to last page, "BINGO!"

Tech stood arms wide and read the passages, "ento…magnifique…scrotum…daffodil…Xbox…flippendo!" A portal opened behind him and began to call back the possessed beings.

Tank, Tankini and Niko emerged from the basement just in time to see the last Deadites sucked in the portal and sent back to their own dimension. Tech threw the Necronomicon into the portal and it closed as if it had never been there.

Tech turned to his friends and smiled meekly. They started towards him but a great wind whipped up as the portal reopened. Niko, Tank and Tankini linked arms and held tightly to the doorframe as Tech struggled to find a grip. He fumbled around finding only loose weeds and was finally yanked off his feet and into the air.

The three other survivors turned to see their friend flying backwards through the air towards the portal. "Happy ghos…Halloween!" He stuttered as he was sucked into the winding space/time hole, which snapped shut behind him.

The sun rose over the forest to show a slightly battered cabin, a thankfully untouched car and three confused teenagers.
