Left 4 Dead: Gemini Strain

Chapter XLII: Said the Spider to the Fly – Adam

"Its here, everyone! ITS HERE!" Samuel yelled to us through the now fading echo of our weapons and the dimmed hiss of spent fire. We all immediately looked in his direction, wondering how he managed to make it to the helipad so quickly from our position. Only made we wonder how much he put on the line in our defense against the horde. There was no time to discuss that with the group and instead I voiced our course of action as we saw the helicopter hover over the pad and Samuel getting in.
"MOVE IT!" I yelled to Latvia and Cassius as I pointed to the already known vehicle here to rescue us. One would think that not even a tornado swooping down or a volcanic explosion would stop us from getting to that helicopter. What did make us pause was the pounding of the ground, a roar that shook us to the core, and a piece of the roof that flew and crashed not too far from where Cassius stood.
The three of us looked at the monstrosity in terrified awe. We three had heard it before. Cassius has seen it run amuck. However, actually being this close to the creature was horrifying. Its skin was bulging and strapped that made it look like a bodybuilder that had suddenly bloated with a torso that seemed too different from the rest of its body. The head of the creature was small and was bald, covered in what appeared to be rashes. There were a few bullet wounds on its body that stood out by having small red indention into its gray, disease ridden flesh. It almost made me think of a grotesque mockery of a gorilla.
"What is that thing...?" Latvia asked us wildly as if we knew.
"Its....a TANK! RUN FOR THE HELICOPTER!" I screamed to them as I pulled the trigger, aiming at the monster as I rushed backwards. As Soon as the other two followed my lead I looked behind me to register where I was going and was alerted by the sudden rise of the chopper and an absent Samuel. "Bastard! Where are you going!?" I screamed into the air.
Samuel must have been attuned to my voice as soon his own came out the radio that was near us. His voice was a bit shaky but he began to pass us his message. "Everyone, the pilot is going to hover around; this monster is too much of a hazard. I suggest you deal with it as soon as possible!"
"MOTHERFUCKER!" I yelled into the air. Even though what just happened was logical it still made me upset. I had little time to vent with the unstoppable charging monstrosity that was coming our way. I turned quickly to Latvia, a word of caution to late on escaping my lips. She too looked up at the fleeing vehicle and was taken by surprise when a large fist swatted her across the platform with swiftness. She travelled a good distance before slamming into the rooftop with a sickening sound. I could not tell whether she was dead or alive from my distance. What I did know for certain was that this monster made my vision turn red with anger at what it did to Latvia.
"OI! OVER HERE YOU BASTARD!" I yelled at it, firing away into its flesh. I could almost see some of the bullets dig in slightly and then fall out. I dismissed how formidable this thing and made sure to attract its attention away from Latvia. My actions seemed to work as it quickly changed its pace and target to me. My best bet was to find some way to keep distance enough to take it down and minimize injury.
There was one thing I had forgotten when I attracted its attention. My injured leg. The sudden and furious movement that I was making caused it to give out painfully as I collapsed on some sandbags with an astonished grunt. The tank was on me in a flash. With a roar and massive hands behind its head, it brought them down in a powerful smash. Instinct came over me and I rolled out of the impact's way, feeling the force and breeze from it rush powerfully by my ear. I scrambled back to my feet, only vaguely aware that I had dropped my rifle from mu sudden collapse. I looked at it with anger in my eyes. I was not sure how I would manage to do this even with Cassius giving cover fire and my hands already holding my SIG 226s, but I was going to damn well manage.
