Chapter 2: The Asylum Part 1
"Stay away from my vodka!" The Russian commanded. His sniper rifle aimed at the others.
"Ve mean no harm, tell us you name, I'm sure it ends with an 'ov' right?" Richtofen stated.
The Russian, aimed down his gun. "You don't look like first wife." He jumped from the rafters and in front of the three. "I am Nikolai Belinski."
"What are you doing here, Nikolai?" Dempsey asked.
"I don't know, but I'm buzzed… What are YOU doing here?" Nikolai replied.
The others introduced themselves to the newcomer. "Well, I don't know what I'm here for either…" Dempsey said.
"I don't think any of us do. I woke up here with only one memory, Peter." Richtofen added.
"Peter, sounds British." Nikolai pointed out, "Who is he?"
"Treyarch didn't put any Brits in this game." Takeo reluctantly said.
Nikolai frowned, "Awww but I like their little accents." He almost sounded like he would cry. "So this Peter must be American?"
"Well kids, vhat do ve know?" Richtofen asked. "Peter is definitely American."
"Theres people looking for him." Dempsey added.
"He is laying on the ground upstairs, rotting." Takeo muttered.
"What! He's dead?" Nikolai gasped.
Richtofen nodded, "Theres a mysterious meteor out in the middle of the swamp."
"The Nazi has something to do with it." Dempsey said, giving Richtofen a mean look.
"You know, I can't keep track of all this." Nikolai moaned. "I'll just stick to killing zombies."
"The meteorite! We must destroy it!" Takeo yelled. "It brings the dead to life!" The ground shaking interrupted Takeo. Everyone was silent. A blue light appeared in the center of the room behind Nikolai.
The light exploded, revealing a creature in its place. The creature was on four legs, built like a dog. It looked like a zombie with its rotten skin. Fire covered the bottom of the dog's feet.
"No! Not ze puppies!" Richtofen screamed in horror. The zombie dog tackled Nikolai, and bit his arm. Dempsey and Takeo tried to push the dog off. Another dog entered the room. Richtofen rapidly shot the dog. He was out of ammo when another dog came in. Nikolai stood up.
They all ran up the staircase around the corner. Nikolai aimed his sniper rifle at the closest dog to the stairs, causing it to blow up. The other three hid behind the crates they originally used as barricades. The next dog ran too fast for Nikolai to hit. Before it got too close, Nikolai ran to the others.
Richtofen reloaded, shooting the dog even more. That one exploded. Dempsey shot the third dog. It began to slow down. Takeo raised his sword and threw it straight into the dog's side, blowing it up. They all sighed behind the crate.
Nikolai looked behind himself. He pointed at the body lying on the floor. "Um' I found Peter."
"What just happened there?" Dempsey asked.
"Obviously, zombie dogs attacked us. Don't question." Richtofen said.
Nikolai laughed, "Ha-ha, I thought that was just my buzz!"
It was getting darker. They could barely see anything. "I have ze idea!" Richtofen yelled. "Ve cremate Peter!" He took the magazine out of his gun.
"What? Are you crazy, this is a wooden building?" Dempsey commented. Too late, Richtofen crushed his bullets on the ground. "When you're doing this you are cremating us all!"
Richtofen pulled the trigger on his Gewehr. A spark flew from the flint, hitting the gun powder on the floor. Fire burst on Peter's body. The fire reached up a cabinet and a few crates. Takeo and Dempsey yelled as Nikolai and Richtofen laughed.
"Now ve can have big bonfire!" Richtofen maniacally laughed. The other three ran out onto the bridge. The Nazi's eyes widened and he ran out too. They raced down the bridge. The fire busted through the windows of the building. By the time the four reached the bottom of the bridge, the entire building was on fire.
Everyone stared at Richtofen with angry faces. "What, now ve can see, and ve don't need to carry Mr. Peter."
"You are a sick man, Richtofen." Dempsey shouted.
"I say we kill him and his meteors!" Takeo yelled.
Nikolai said, "I say we kill Takeo, he might be a zombie, I mean, how could we tell?"
Everybody became silent. They stopped staring at Richtofen, and now Nikolai. Richtofen began shaking his head no. Takeo punched Nikolai right in the jaw, causing him to fall over.
Nikolai came back to his senses and pointed out, "Hey look I found a big rock!" His finger aimed into the swamp. What was in front of them was amazing. A huge meteorite the size of a bus stood out in the trees. An energy that resembled lightning shot from the rock and into the water below.
"Vell, vell…" Richtofen whispered. "Ve finally found ze infamous meteorite. La de freaking da!"
"You sound like you don't care." Dempsey commented.
"Go ahead, blow up this marvel. I don't care." Richtofen replied.
"That's just what I'll do!" Dempsey yelled. He pulled a grenade from his belt. "Bye bye freak bags!" He pulled the pin and threw the grenade onto the rock. In one silent second, the other's covered their ears.
The grenade burst like it is supposed to. Shrapnel from the meteorite flew at the four of them. Blue light flashed around them. All that they remembered was a flash then passing out.
"I hope you're receiving this transmission Peter, if you are not, then all hope is lost. You must know by now that we failed to contain the asylum that we had to move the experiment here." The voice of the transmission repeated. "We failed to contain the asylum… The asylum…"
Everything turned a yellow-orange color. It was indoors. There was one window on the wall. The room was small, only holding some sort of dentist's chair. A door on the opposite wall busted open. A U.S. Marine holding a rifle stood in the doorway.
He stepped up to the window. In the trees beyond the window was a little movement. The Marine fired his rifle. The body of the movement fell. Two more came. They were obviously zombies with their arms raised. He fired two more shots.
Behind him, two other Marines stood in a large room. Beyond them was a courtyard. "We have contact!" the first Marine yelled. The other two positioned themselves along the courtyard. A hand popped out of the ground. One Marine fired at it, missing. The next hand emerged, soon enough the head.
The Marine shot the head off and shouted, "Oohrah! Stay down!" The other Marine in the courtyard was busy with another zombie. After three shots to its chest, it died.
"These things are nasty!" the Marine said. "Those Nazi don't know what they're getting into."
"Peter should have stopped this days ago." The other Marine complained.
"Peter tried his hardest; I mean look, the powers off. He did what he could but it wasn't enough." The first Marine added. "Where's John? John?"
"!" came from the other room. The two in the courtyard ran into that room to find about five zombies standing over the Marine. The one known as John had already died. He stood up again, his eyes glowing yellow.
"John!" one Marine yelled. He shot at the group of zombies aimlessly. "Alex, get out of here! I'll handle the rest!" Alex ran into the courtyard area, noticing that three more zombies had come in. He fired his rifle at them, killing one. Just behind him he could see the last Marine being knocked onto the ground.
Alex knew he couldn't handle all of these zombies. He found a door and began shooting at it. He kicked it down and entered the next room. There was a set of stairs that he ran up without thought. There were words written on the wall, in blood. Five more zombies came around the corner.
"I don't know if you're getting this transmission Peter, and if not, then all hope is lost." Alex said into his radio. "You must know by know that we failed to contain the asylum. Location: The numbers will guide you. The Giant must remain safe at all costs. Repeat, Der Riese must remain safe! You're our only advantage now. Find Dr. Richtofen and Dr. Maxis, they know what's going on. I hope it hasn't happened there. The use of 115 is dangerous at best. We've lost our best men. I'm almost out of hope!"
The zombies from both rooms arrived. In his final breath, Alex screamed, "DEMPSEYYYYYYYYY!" The zombies lowered onto the marine. He was still conscious when a zombie took a bite off his neck. He didn't know if he passed out from pain, fear, or bleeding out. All he knew, was he would only be dead for a while.
"DEMPSEYYYYYYY!" Nikolai screamed. He was on the ground. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the moon. It was so much brighter on this than he remembered. Nikolai was lying on tiles that felt cold on his back.
"What the hell do you want, Nikolai!" Dempsey roared.
"More vodka please!" Nikolai yelled.
"Vill you bastards quit screaming, it makes me feel sick." Richtofen moaned. He looked around. The definitely weren't in Shi No Numa. Takeo awoke, and instantly threw up.
Nikolai said, "Why are you guys getting sick? I'm the one with the hangover!"
"The question is where we are." Dempsey added. There was a huge clock tower right under the moon. It ticked at about 11:30 P.M. There was a staircase in front of them.
Richtofen stood up and put his hips at his shoulders and looked at the stairs. "Shoot, ve missed it!"
"What are you talking about?" Dempsey asked. "You know, all these questions really make me lose trust for you."
"I vill explain, ven my headache goes away. Anyways, ze kinetic energy of ze exploding meteorite plus 115 must throw its target across space." Richtofen stated. He pulled out a notebook and began writing information down.
"115 were in Peter's transmission. Obviously it had something to do with the meteorite. If it sent us through space, then it has some kind of power." Dempsey explained.
"Yea, and you still haven't explained the Wunderwaffe or the teddy bear." Takeo pointed out.
"I'm drunk!" Nikolai said. "Teddy bears and waffles."
"Yes, and what about the fact that theres FREAKING ZOMBIES RUNNING AROUND AND EATING PEOPLE!" Dempsey yelled.
