Well, here is chapter 5 of this story. Please read it and uh...yeah....enjoy... Also, anyone in the game who hasn't been infected are known as 'survivors'. So I may be referring to the Takuya, Zoe, Kouji, and Tommy as the survivors instead of constantly calling them the a group or whatever.

Dark Sanctuary

Campaign 1: No Mercy- Part 2

Chapter 5: The Subway

The four of them headed down the steps, their footsteps echoing off the walls.

"Fuck, this entrance is blocked," Takuya complained once they had reached the bottom. "It's been barricaded by piles of junk. Shit...."

"Wait, there's a door right here," Zoe said, nodding to their right. "We may be able to get in through there."

Kouji kicked the door open before Takuya could respond, walking right into the room.

"Okay, let's see what we got in here...." Kouji looked around the room, which consisted of a desk, a chair, and a few shelves. "I see a few first-aid kits..."

Takuya, Tommy, and Zoe entered the room behind him, taking the time to look around for useful items. However, on one of the walls there was a large, barricaded off room. A few of the infected could be seen lurking inside, as the wooden door had pieces missing. The barricaded room almost seemed as though it were a cage or prison cell.

"Oh, good. We can get through the station through there," Takuya speculated, shooting the hissing infected humans. "Now let's get this fucking bar off the door and go in."

With Kouji's help, he managed to pull the heavy pole off the door and set it aside. He then knudged the door open and aimed his machine gun towards the corner of the room. There were a few boxes and shelving units, revealing the room to be some type of storage closet. There were three more infected ambling around near the boxes, and they were shot dead seconds later.

"Damn, the room caved in," Tommy speculated.

The supply room's wall and floor had caved in horribly, and the lower floor could be seen beneath it. The four of them immediately fired their weapons down at the infected on the lower floor, blood spraying in every direction. Once the small group at the bottom had been annihilated, Takuya looked at the others.

"Only way to go is down," he said, before jumping down.

The brunette landed easily enough, then looked up at the others.

"Hurry, a group of them are coming and I don't know if I can hold them all off!" He called up.

Kouji dropped down to the lower floor, a plume of dust billowing up. Zoe and Tommy followed suit, just as a horde of the infected came rushing over.

"I hate these bitches," Kouji muttered for the twentieth time as he shot at them.

"You and me both," Takuya added, firing at the vicious horde.

After a minute or so, that particular crowd had been completely wiped out, and their remains were splattered everywhere. Takuya and the others ran through the room, where it began to turn into a parking garage-looking area. There were pillars and beams holding the ceiling up, which was also beginning to crumble and crack. Only a few of the infected were lurking around in the area, hissing and growling amongst themselves.

"Well, at least there aren't many here," Tommy said with a sigh of relief.

Zoe shot at the infected humans, grimacing at the sickening mess. "Yeah, but for how long?"

Once the infected were dead, Takuya nodded to the side. "Let's go this way."

He led them down a dimly-lit corrider, which came to a dead end. Two infected people were standing at the end of it, and they were shot dead immediately.

"Great, now what?" Kouji rudely asked Takuya. "It's a dead end."

"We can drop down to next floor," he replied.

Tommy looked down the hole, where more of the infected were wandering around. "Guess you were right, Zoe. There are plenty of those bastards down here..."

"Yeah, but I wish that I hadn't been right," the blond said with anxiety.

"Would anyone like to do the honors of going first?" Takuya asked. "Or do you want me to?"

Kouji shoved past him. "I'll go. Don't want you to think that you're the only one who knows what they're doing...."

The raven-haired man dropped down and quickly shot at the oncoming horde. He was joined by the other three, who helped him take down the swarm.

The infected rushed over one after another, snarling and ready to claw at the survivors. Blood and spittle shot out of their mouths as they hissed, their eyes wild with insanity. Many of them wore tattered clothing, while others wore bloodstained, yet intact clothes.

"This just keeps getting better and better," Kouji griped, reloading his gun.

"Yeah, but we'll get through this horde," Tommy said as he shot one in the head.

Kouji threw him an annoyed look. "What makes you so damn optimistic? We're probably gonna die and you know it."

Tommy's face fell a bit, but shrugged and continued to fire at the attacking group.

"Well, we know who the emo of the group is," Takuya said with a laugh.

"I'm not emo, you asshole! I'm just being realistic," Kouji shot back.

Takuya shot an infected woman through the eye and watched as the bullet exited through the back of her head. "No, I'm realistic. You're just emo and depressed."

"Well, I have every right to be," Kouji replied harshly. "After what I've been through, I'm lucky that I haven't just killed myself."

The soldier glanced at him, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Kouji shook his head, however. "Just drop it. I don't feel like talking about it."

Takuya was about to say something, but thought better of it. Instead, he continued to fire at the infected humans. Zoe quickly reloaded her pistols, glancing at Takuya.

"How do you know where to go?" She asked him.

"I don't," he replied. "I'm just planning this as I go."

Kouji sneered. "Then why didn't we just go straight to the hospital? Why are we going all around the cow's ass to get there?"

"Because it's too risky to go there directly though the town," Takuya said.

"More risky than getting ripped apart in a fucking subway station?" Kouji smirked as the number of the infected began to dwindle.

Takuya groaned. "Dude, I'm not in the fucking mood. If you don't like it, either come up with another plan, or go off on your own. Either way, I don't give a shit. Just quit whining."

Kouji scowled at him, but remained silent. Two minutes and several bullets later, the horde had been obliverated.

"Great, we're running out of ammo," Tommy said miserably.

"Well, we'll just have to find some more," Takuya told him.

They moved to the end of the room and ran down another corrider. When they reached the end, they had two options awaiting them.

"Okay, there are two staircases," Zoe mused. "One to the right leading upstairs, or the one straight ahead that leads down. What do you think we should do?"

Just then, one of the infected clumsily ran down the steps at their right, his arms waving around frantically. Takuya quickly shot and killed the man, watching as the corpse tumbled down the steps.

"Uh, hang on," Takuya said, rushing up the stairs.

"Where are you going, you idiot?!" Kouji demanded. "You're going to get killed!"

However, Takuya rushed back down the steps a moment later. "We can't go up. The door is blocked and we don't have time to move everything out the way. So I think our best bet is going downstairs."

The others nodded in understanding, then they hurried down the staircase. A few of the infected attempted to climb the steps, only to be shot down soon after. At the bottom, there were three escalators leading down to yet another floor.

"How many fucking floors are there?" Kouji wondered aloud. "This is ridiculous....."

"Yeah, but this might be the last," Tommy replied.

The survivors ran down the escalators, only to be attacked by a large swarm of the infected.

"Okay, we need to find ammo! And fast!" Takuya shouted over the roar of the guns.

As he and the other guys shot at the infected, Zoe noticed a booth. She ran over to it, shooting anyone who attempted to attack her.

"Zoe, what are you doing?!" Takuya rushed over to her. "Are you crazy?!"

"Am I?" She asked, before smashing the glass of the booth.

Takuya's frown quickly turned into a smile. "Ah, now I get it. Good work."

Inside the booth were several rounds of ammunition, as well as pain pills. While Takuya fended off the approaching horde, Zoe reached inside to retrieve the items.

"Here you go," she said, before thrusting a gun into his hands.

"What the hell?" Takuya looked down, surprised at what she had given him.

In his hands was a fully automatic M12A3 assault rifle, an upgrade from his Uzi. While he inspected the weapon, Zoe concentrated on taking down the Zombie-like humans.

"Hey, study it later," she told him. "Right now, I need some helping killing these guys."

"Oh, right. Sorry." He fired his new weapon at the infected, his Uzi now slung across his back. "Yeah, take that, you bitches!"

Kouji and Tommy joined them, firing away at the ever-growing group. Kouji noticed Takuya's rifle and narrowed his eyes.

"Where'd you get that?" He asked.

"Zoe found it in that booth and gave it to me," Takuya told him.

Kouji snorted. "Well, why'd she give it to you?"

"Because she likes me," the brunette said victoriously. "Don't you, Zoe?"

The blond blushed slightly, then concentrated at the horde instead of answering him.

"See, told you," Takuya said to Kouji with amusement.

"Oh, be quiet!" Zoe exclaimed. "I gave it to you because you probably knew how to use it better than any of us! And you were the closest!"

Takuya smirked and then continued to help take down the infected group. Finally, they reloaded and wandered into another room. In the room, there was a train sitting on the tracks, broken down and destroyed.

"Looks like a Tank fucked up that train," Takuya speculated. "Maybe we should walk through it. It may be safer inside."

"We can give it a try," Tommy said.

The four of them cautiously made their way to the train, entering through the back. Inside, there was a single Molotove cocktail, and nothing more.

"Well, this was a great idea," Kouji said sarcastically.

Takuya gave him a rude gesture, then led them back out. They then went around the train, walking along the train tracks.

"I don't think I'm really crazy about this idea," Tommy said in a nervous tone.

"I don't think any of us are," Zoe replied, her hands shaking slightly.

They came up to another destroyed train, and this time, several of the infected jumped out of the wrecked cars.

"Oh, shit!" Takuya shot at the infected group, grateful that his upgrade made things just a little bit easier.

The other three shot frantically at the horde as well, gasping as another large swarm of them appeared out of nowhere.

"Dammit! When will these fuckers die?!" Kouji shouted, annoyed. "This is friggen unbelievable!"

"You're telling me!" Tommy chimed in.

Zoe's heart sank as she noticed a large, hulking figure. "Uh, guys? I think we found another Tank...."

"Fuck...." Takuya saw the Tank ambling out of the shadows, knocking over some of the infected. "Shoot that thing first!"

The others changed their aim to the Tank's direction, shooting only at a common infected if they became too close.

"If we all shoot it, it'll be easier!" Takuya shouted. "This one doesn't seem as bad as the one that knocked over the fire escape."

"Either way, I hate these godforsaken things!" Kouji announced.

The Tank was gunned down, and it's lifeless body crumpled to the ground. Minutes later, the horde had also been finished off.

"Okay, let's get the fuck outta here," Takuya huffed, his coat sticking to his skin again. "I'm fucking sweating my balls off...."

They walked around one last train car, where there were a few common infected, as well as a Boomer. Before it could spit its disgusting bile, it was shot dead. Bile leaked from its bloated body through its pores, attracting even more of the infected.

"Dammit, these guys suck!" Kouji complained. "I hate Boomers!"

"Just finish them off and head to that staircase!" Takuya told them, firing at the horde.

Zoe glanced at the nearby staircase, then threw a pipe bomb at the group. The bomb beeped and flashed a small light, and the infected crowded around it in fascination. While they were distracted, Takuya led the others to the staircase. They reached it just as the bomb detonated, sending the infected flying backwards in an explosion of fire.

"Okay, let's get our asses up there!" Kouji said, casting a look over his shoulder.

Behind them, another group of infected hurried over to them, their eyes wild and bloodthirsty.

"Hey, there's a room at the top!" Tommy announced. "We need to get in there!"

"Okay, just one last thing." Takuya tossed another pipe bomb over his shoulder.

They arrived at the top and dashed for the safe room Tommy had pointed out. However, there was another group rushing after them and they were quickly making their way to the top.

"Get into the safe room!" Takuya told the others. "I'll hold them off!"

He began to shoot at the oncoming group, when Zoe roughly grabbed his arm. "No, let's go!"

Suddenly, a Tank burst through the zombie-like crowd, swinging its heavy arms at the pair. Takuya and Zoe flew backwards, slamming into a wall.

"Shit!" Kouji shot at the monstrous behemoth, as did Tommy. "You guys okay?"

"...Great...." Takuya gave him a thumbs-up, shakily rising to his feet. "Zoe, you alright?"

"Yeah...." She painfully rose as well, helping the others take down the Tank.

Several bullets later, the stairwell was covered with blood, organs, and dismembered limbs.

"Okay," Tommy said, nodding to the safe room. "Let's go before any more of them show up."

They sprinted into the safe room, locking it behind them. The room consisted of three desks, several surveillence screens, and two first-aid kits. There were also two pipe bombs, a bottle of pills, and a box of assorted ammunition.

"Alright, I think we should take this time to heal ourselves a bit," Takuya said with a sigh, taking hold of one of the kits. "Anyone need help?"

"I can do it my damn self," Kouji muttered, grabbing another one. "Don't need anyone to put a fucking band-aid on me."

Tommy merely took out a roll of guaze. "I just need to wrap up my leg a bit, so I'm all set with help."

Takuya looked at Zoe. "What about you?"

"I'll have to see," she said tiredly.

The blond groaned, pulling off her red jacket. Bloody scratches were on her chest, and a stream of blood was trickling down her right arm. Takuya didn't look much better as he too, removed his coat.

"Come here," Zoe told him, pulling out a cloth.

The brunette sat down in front of her, shrugging nonchalantly. "It's no big deal."

"Don't even start with me," she replied. "Just shut up and give me your shoulder."

Takuya smirked and moved slightly closer to her. He didn't hiss in pain as she rubbed alcohol onto his wound, and instead found himself staring at her. Zoe did not seem to notice, however, and continued to wipe away at his blood-covered arm.

"Does this hurt?" She asked, glancing up at him.

"Not at all," he replied, his chocolate-colored eyes gazing into her emerald ones.

Zoe blushed slightly, then covered his shoulder up with a thick wrapping of gauze. When she finished, Takuya wordlessly began to wipe at Zoe's chest with a cloth dampened with alcohol.

"Hey, what are you doing?" She demanded, becoming even redder.

"Sorry, but since you were mauled at, I just wanted to make sure that it gets cleaned enough so that you don't get infected." He sheepishly handed her the cloth, his face a shade redder. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off as a pervert."

Zoe's expression softed. "No, it's okay I guess. Normally, I would've smacked you across the face. But given the circumstances....you're off the hook...for now...."

"You are a perv!" Kouji exclaimed.

Takuya only ignored him and smiled, then dabbed at Zoe's wounded arm while the girl tended to her bleeding arm. Once everyone was wrapped up, they each took three pain pills, swallowing them dry. Tommy almost choked on the pills and began to cough, only to be gently smacked on his back by Takuya.

"Ugh, I hate swallowing these dry." Tommy grimanced. "They always get stuck in my throat...."

"I hate it, too," Kouji grumbled.

"We know," the other three replied monotonely.

Kouji smirked, then looked at the locked door. From outside, they could hear banging and groaning.

"So....now what?" He asked.

Takuya sighed. "We find another exit. And hope that we can find one before they get in..."

Alright, that ends another chapter. The next chapter will be kick-ass! Or not :p Anyway, please review and make me happy. Next chapter will be out within a few days hopefully.

Also, since each part of the campaigns are so lengthy, I can't detail every last thing. I try not to take the chapters too too long, so I hope you guys don't mind.
