Over The Top

A few minutes before the building exploded…

Ben watched as the blade entered Albert in slow motion. Even though it looked painful as it tore through his skin, Ben took his position beside the teen. Albert, who at the moment was getting stabbed, decided to act now before things got too out of hand. He moved his hands and weapons around the man's blade in order to stop it and have a grip over it. Jorge realized what was going on and tried to retrieve his blade but couldn't.

"Shit!" He groaned.

Ben then took his bat to hit the man across the face, "That's right Bitch! We played your dumb ass!"

The large man stumbled back a bit, trying to shake off the pain. "Has anyone told you that you're anno-" Jorge couldn't finish his sentence with Ben coming in and hitting him once more with the bat. The skateboarder took one more swing and with that, the crazed man was knocked out cold.

Yukiko, Jill, and Raymond heard the commotions coming from above them as well as from below. Yukiko decided to act, "You two go up…we need to see if they need help. I'll go check on the guys downstairs."

They split up in order to get this over and down with. There was no need to stay in the building anymore when everyone was dead. "This sucks." Jill whined. "Why?" Ray asked as he stopped in the middle of the staircase to see who was up ahead. "Cause I'm stuck with you…a guy." She whined again.

From what he could make out through the furniture, there was a face he could remember. "Dayo?"

"THAT'S RIGHT MOTHA FUCKA! I beat yo ass!" Ben cheered as he posed on top of the unconscious Jorge. Albert ignored him in order to pull the blade from his body, making sure to have a few items nearby to patch himself up. He slowly pulled the blade out at first and then quickly finished it by removing it in one sweep. Ben heard the teens yell in pain and rushed over to help. "Fuck man…you should've waited for that Jill girl."

Albert shook his head in response, "No I got this…now I want you…to dab that cloth there with the antiseptic and disinfectant." Ben did what he was told while Albert took out a small roll of bandages. "Now please…just slap the cloths to each of the openings and press down tightly."

"Fuck man…that's gonna hurt." Ben flinched at the thought.

"There's no time to think about it…just do it…" Albert spoke with pain and annoyance in his voice. "Fuck it yo…" Ben didn't hesitate and slapped in on his wound. Albert's scream echoed through the building.

"Raymond?" Dayo saw the teen through a crack and then looked back to the leader of his group. Tokiya nodded for the two to continue, but something then caught his attention. The sounds of footsteps came from around the corner. It kept coming and getting louder but nothing could be seen. The leader didn't flinch but wondered what it was that made that sound.

"Raymond! Did you find help?" Dayo asked.

"Yes…they are getting us and then heading across the street to a safe zone from 'Them'!" Ray answered back.

Grey tried to move some of the heavy stuff but failed and fell back on his behind. He looked back to his leader and found that he was looking to the side for something. "Something wrong boss?"

"Yes…there's a gas leak…and its filling the walls and floors of this building…and if we don't hurry…the slightest spark will blow us all to hell." He could smell it as it started to seep through the floor. Tokiya took a step towards the stairs.

Yukiko came down the steps in a hurry after hearing someone scream in pain. To her surprise it was Albert who seemed to be wrapping himself in bandages. Ben was helping as best he could, "Wha-" She was going to ask a question but stopped at the sight of her friend collapsed on the floor. The girl ran to his side and checked him over. From the looks of it, the two had knocked him out; Jorge probably lost himself and went berserk. His blade covered in blood near Albert told her the whole story.

"Maybe next time you should stay with him." Ben kneeled down next to the two. "He seems to be going through something and you are his only way back."

"If only you knew." Yukiko sighed. Images flashed through her mind that would prove the skateboarders theory. Ben just put his hand on her shoulder, "If I did then I think I would still believe in you." The girl blushed a bit from his words.

"What did he just say?" Jill heard everything clearly. Something inside of her told her that she needed to get out of there quick. But she couldn't just leave them all there. She was going to help them move things to the side when some gunfire could be heard coming from the floor above. All of the living that were there with her froze up, seconds pass without anything happening.

"I think we should move…" Grey said nervously. Each of them moved as slowly as possible, they took short breaths with every bullet that was fired. Then without any time to run the floor they were on was engulfed with fire.

(On the First Floor)

The group at the bottom felt the building shake and soon the ceiling above them cracked. "I think we should move our asses," Ben began to move Jorge. Soon after, Albert came to help as best as he could.

(On the Third Floor)

Jill and Raymond appear from the fire-covered staircase unharmed but gasping for fresh air. The two tried their best to make their way to safety. She didn't remember what happened to the others but Jill could only remember how lucky they were that Raymond had pulled a fridge out of the pile of garbage that blocked the stairs.

What made things worse was that the fire started explosions, the building was going to come down and the two were on the third floor.

xXx

Carmina watched as the building started to become nothing but a tower of light. Elian kneeled down and tried to get her to move, "We need to go see if they are okay. We can't think over the top yet."

The small girl wiped her tears and dashed off to find her friends, with the other girl not too far behind.
