Chapter 15: Team bonding exercise

I reloaded my weapon and crouched down low behind a car. I slowly looked through the window, still trying to hide my self though. I glared at the ugly creature that clicked and glitched continuously as it looked around suspiciously.

Blu growled lowly beside me and I quickly quieted him, scared of the Glitcher to discover our location. While we had been at Felix's safe haven in Wyoming, Blu had been staying in an area that had been separated off - they said it was a 'kennel' but it wasn't. I didn't like it. So I took Blu with me and the rest of the team I was with. This team consisted of myself, Blu, Snake, a guy named Adam - but he said he preferred his old nickname Seananners -, his friend Max, a guy called Nick, Toby and another guy called Mark.

I looked over at everyone. Snake wasn't too far away; he was crouched down behind another car, he looked over at me and simply nodded and carried on at his look outpost. He still wore the same bandana on his head from when I first met him. I spotted Max, Mark and Toby crouching down behind a wall, ready for their signal.

The only thing that confused me was the fact that all these guys were 'Youtubers'. It seems that the las top the human species are people who made videos for Youtube. I find it a little ironic - I guess video games pay off. I looked over the three guys. Mark was half Korean and half German with short black hair and glasses; he had a little bit of stubble on his face and at the moment he was focused but I'd heard firm Cry that he can get really funny and stupid - even more so when he's drunk. Toby had brown tousled and messy hair and hazel eyes, he wore a simple plain green shirt and a jacket along with his dark coloured trousers and army boots. Apparently he used to wear a shirt that had his Youtube logo 'Tobuscus' on it all the time and I guessed he missed it... I remembered Nick; he was waiting with a truck somewhere nearby. as soon as we gave the word, he could come in so we could load up. Nick had admitted that he wouldn't be good at running or fighting - as he was a little on the larger side... - so he said he would be the driver. Max was a Hispanic guy that used to live with his girlfriend Renée and play games with his friends - one of them being Adam. He had black hair and a beard as well; he looked a little depressed but that was understandable, his girlfriend was taken after all.

I thought back to last night when Felix told us our mission and what had been happening with the Glitchers...

*Flashback*

"We have been observing Glitchers over time and have been able to understand some things about them." Felix said grabbing a map from a shelf. "We've able to get some of their weapons and study them. We think that if we can get hold of some of them, we could use them to our advantage point. That's were you come in."

Felix looked up at the rest of us. He had called me in, Snake, a guy with really short hair, a guy with a beard, a large guy who was overweight but seemed to be losing the pounds due to the apocalypse, a guy with glasses and a guy I recognised as Toby who I had ended up dancing with at one point. I crossed my arms and leant back against the wall.

"We've discovered a small area not far from here were Glitchers use a storage unit. Where is it... Shit..." Felix muttered to himself while he looked at the map confusingly. "I can never f*cking read this thing..."

"There?" The guy with short hair said pointing.

"I knew that Adam!" Felix said and smirked while Adam laughed.

"Okay!" He laughed holding up his hands in a sign of surrender.

"Like I was saying, this is the Glitchers storage unit and I want you lot to go and high jack the area and take the weapons for our use." Felix grinned.

"And what if they have 'Taken' there?" The bearded guy asked.

"Help them if you can." Felix said nodding.

I watched curiously as the bearded man looked down while nodding, clenching his fists. 'Adam' put a hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort his friend.

"We'll find Renée..." He said quietly but I heard.

Renée...? Must be his girlfriend.

"Kill any Glitchers on sight?" I asked.

"Kill Glitchers on sight." Felix repeated. "Good luck guys, you leave tomorrow."

Felix left and everyone got up. The guy with glasses walked over to me and stuck his hand out.

"Hi," he said with a surprisingly deep but friendly voice. "I'm Mark."

"Bree." I smiled shaking his hand back.

"I'm Adam and this is Max and Nick." Adam said pointing at the bearded man first then at the guy who was a little over weight.

"Nice to meet you guys." I said shaking each of their hands individually. "I now you Toby, nice dancing skills by the way."

Toby laughed as he remembered the other night. "Yeah it was great meeting you back then."

"And I guess I'll be seeing you guys tomorrow." I said.

"We'll see you then." Nick said.

*flashback ends*

I sighed and watched the Glitcher. It was just standing there now, it must. Be a guard on duty. This was our chance. I looked over of just behind the Glitcher, behind a large rubbish bin was Adam. He was knelt down with his gun at the ready. He had a mischievous grin on his face but it looked more like inane and excited. Nick told me to remember a certain phrase that used to describe Adam: "Never Trust Nanners". I just hope he can stick to the plan. We don't need to f*ck up; we need these weapons.

Suddenly, the Glitcher let out a cry and we all watched as two more Glitchers Glitched in but they weren't alone. They had humans with them. They seemed to be cuffed by a strange rope that Glitched quietly every so often. With their hands bound, and heads looking at the ground, they trudged along hopelessly - all of their fighting spirit gone.

The two new Glitchers had different weapons; ones I had never seen before... One held something that looked like a long whip but it kind of looked like a lightsaber in some way... Instead of the whip being a long black rope, it was green (like a lightsaber) and it glowed green (like a lightsaber) but every so often it Glitched (not like a lightsaber). The other Glitcher held what seemed to be a giant knife of some sort, the tip curved off into some strange shape and it looked deadly sharp. I could see that on the blade that there was strange indentations on it - glowing green...

Suddenly, the original Glitcher that we had been watching moved forward and cut the binds off of one of the prisoners. The human frowned but then the Glitcher held out his Pulser towards the humans mouth and we watched as a strange green gas was released and flew up into the humans nostrils and mouth.

We watched in horror as the human - who seemed to be a middle aged man - suddenly began to let out a horrible choking sound and suddenly he began to glitch and then he collapsed to the ground. When he got up, his eyes were clouded over but his pupils and irises were glowing a strange green colour - like the Glitchers eye piece on their masks and spakes surrounded him as he glitched every so often. The realisation suddenly hit me - they were controlling and possessing human beings and turning them into slaves. Shit just got real.

The possessed human looked at the Glitcher and it let out a strange clicking sound - an order. It turned and walked over to the group of humans who were staring shocked at the human, he reached forward and grabbed a girl with shoulder length red hair. She let out a yelp and struggled, she still had some fight left in her.

"Let go of me!" She shouted.

I looked over at Adam who was the closest and I saw his jaw drop as he looked at the girl and then he looked behind me. I turned and looked. Max had frozen in his place and was staring to the girl. It was his girlfriend... Okay the shit is now getting even more real. Max broke out of his chance and went to run and stupidly try to save her but Mark grabbed him.

"Let me go!" Max hissed.

"You're going to get us all killed by rung out there! " Mark whispered.

"Wait for the signal." Toby said.

Max sighed but stopped struggling. I looked over at Snake and nodded. He nodded back and threw a bottle over to the other side of the street - away from Adam, catching the Glitcher's attention. They let out a cry and ran towards where the bottle had landed. Adam ran forward and fired at one of the Glitcher's. they turned around in shock and let out a snarl. They Glitched out but one want so lucky, it fell to the floor, convulsing. Adam grinned crazily and called us over.

We all jumped up and ran forward. Snake and Toby kept on watch, Adam and Mark ran into the building to get the alien weapons and Max and I helped the prisoners.

"Renée!" Max shouted jumping up and running towards her.

"Max?!" She said turning to see him.

Her hands were still bound so she couldn't hug him back as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her close. I smiled and attempted to start getting the binds off of the prisoners. I swore as the rope electrocuted me with a tiny spark.

"Get a knife! One of theirs!" A man shouted.

I nodded and quickly ran into the building and found Adam and Mark loading up their rucksacks with the strange weapons. I grabbed a knife and one of those weird whip/lightsaber things and ran back outside, with Adam and Mark following me.

Adam gave Max another knife and we quickly began to cut them free. People thanked us and I cut off the bindings of the last prispnerwhen suddenly, someone grabbed my hair harshly - pulling it of its bun - and yanked me back. I let out a yell as I was thrown to the floor. I turned and saw the possessed man - shit, we'd forgotten about him! I rolled out of the way just before he brought an axe down on my head. I jumped to my feet and pulled out my pistol when suddenly long claws swept across the possessed mans throat and blood spurted out. I recoiled back as I felt some of the blood find my face and shirt. I grimaced but then looked up at the tall Glitcher in horror.

It screamed at me and I turned and ran. Blu snarled and lunged at the Glitcher, attacking and ripping at its throat. i turned as a scream erupted out from one of the prisoners. I turned and saw a Glitcher standing a little far away from me, holding a woman by the throat. I watched in horror as the alien tore it out and let he drop to the floor. Toby went to move forward but I stepped I front of him.

"I wanna try this thing out." I said cracked the whip to the floor, sparks flying off of it.

The Glitcher ran towards me and I cracked the whip again, walking forward, raising the whip as it snarled. I snapped it forward and watched as it sliced across the Glitchers chest. Yes! It let out a scream and recoiled but then it held out its Pulser towards me. Shit! I jumped out of the way landing on the floor hard and scuffing up my hands but that didn't matter right now.

"Okay, my plan didn't work!" I shouted as the others opened fire on the last Glitcher.

Mark ran forward sitting out a war cry and began shooting at the alien. I smirked and got up and pulled my pistol back out and shot at it. When the alien fell down dead, Mark turned to me but looked behind me and made some strange noise while pointing. As I turned half way, a Glitcher swiped at me and knocked me to the ground. I grunted and rolled over and away. Mark backed up while reloading his gun but then suddenly a knife was stabbed into the side of the Glitcher's head and it crumpled to the ground. Mark and I saw Renée standing there panting. She looked up at us and gave us a half hearted smile.

"I'm sick of the mother f*ckers." She said.

We all looked around and realised that there wasn't anymore Glitcher's. We'd won and got out alive. Yay, go team! We walked over to the others and grinned.

"You've got red on you." Toby said pointing at my shirt and I burst out laughing at the reference to the film Shaun of the Dead.

I felt a little singing pain in my side but I just tied my jumper tightly around my waist. It could wait till we got back. We headed back to the van with the other survivors we had just rescued; during the fight we had lost a couple but we had still managed to save six survivors - including Renée.

We reached the van and found Nick sitting in the drivers seat. His eyes widened and he smiled in awe as he saw Renée with Max's arm wrapped around her waist.

"Renée?!" He grinned.

"Nick!" She grinned happily.

We all climbed into the back of the van, making it a little cramped with the extra people and Nick drove us back.

"Okay my turn," I said thinking. "Would you rather...be stuck in a zombie apocalypse or this world."

"Hmm..." Cry said scratching his head. "I feel like a zombie apocalypse would be easier to live in but I'm gonna say this world. Cause I'm with all my friends and you."

"That's adorable." I smirked and he ruffled my hair. "Hey!"

Cry laughed at me and I sighed in content and leant my head back against the tree. We were sitting under the oak tree near the old park. This had kind of ended up being our spot to hang out really. I was sitting there with my legs crossed while Cry was stretched out, hands in the pockets of his green hoodie. We had some free time to spare so we ended up sitting here. I had bandaged up my side okay but I was gonna have three long claw mark scars running across my the right side of my waist/hip area. Now as we sat here on the small hill under the tree, we had ended up playing a game of 'Would You Rather...?'

"Okay, would you rather... Fly a jet or manage the guns on a Battleship?" Cry asked.

"Oh that's a good one." I said. "I'd have to say the jet. Flying one would just be amazing."

"Okay then! Give me your next one!" Cry said, adjusting his mask that had gone a little lopsided.

"Would you rather... Become one of your alter egos Mad or virus or would you rather twerk for Felix?" I smirked as Cry groaned.

"Hanging out with Felix is not healthy for you." He joked.

"What? I get to learn a bit about your YouTuber life and what you lot used to get up to!" I said innocently.

"I'd have to say one of my alter egos. I will never twerk for Felix!" Cry said.

"Okay which alter ego then?" I asked, taking my hear out of its ponytail and began to braid it.

"Virus. Mad seemed to... Mad for me. And I think virus suits the world we live in." Cry joked.

"That's a good point." I acknowledged.

"So what happened out there today?" Cry asked. "Snake said you got hurt?"

I felt myself place my hand on my side. "It just a scratch. Don't worry about it." I said and smiled at him.

Cry cocked his head to his side and looked at me. "You sure?"

"Yeah, I may have a scar but its fine." I said still trying it smile.

I didn't want Cry to worry. He shouldn't have to worry about me! I'm fine. I can take care of myself. I looked over to where Blu was laying in the grass, asleep. He was exhausted and I couldn't help but smile at the dog. Cry looked over at Blu and let out a chuckle. I smiled and leant my head against Cry's shoulder and he wrapped his arm around me. We sat there in silence for a couple of minutes before suddenly we heard someone shouting for us. We sat up and saw a girl running towards us.

"Bree! Cry!" Ellie shouted running towards us.

"What is it Ellie?" I asked standing up, wincing at the slight pain in my side.

"Felix wants to see you two!" She said bending over and panting. "I hate running!"

I laughed and walked over to her. "Okay thanks sis."

"Here," Cry said and let Ellie climb onto his back, giving her a piggy back ride.

Ellie let out a laugh and I smiled as Cry began to run down the hill with Ellie on his back and Blu running around their feet. I'm glad I found Cy and the others back in Florida. I began to walk after them but before we went to find Felix, I returned Blu back to his large kennel area where he was greeted by two little pugs which I think belonged to Marzia and Felix.

"See you later buddy." I said and went off to find Cry and head over to Felix's office.
