Chapter 11: On The Road Arc Finale Part 3: La Crosse Battle and Aftermath.

With the War Machine

A missile shot by as the W.M stood stretched across and guarding a whole street. It was a border as for the enemy to not pass with Bets on the side or top of the W.M shooting at the Bandits and Faction members alike. Ed aimed the missiles at the enemies on the other side once he was able to spot more coming through the destroyed gate entrance. He slam down on the button as the missiles launched at the enemy as it killed many of them and a few houses came down adding to the already destroyed homes with houses still on fire. But more started to come as they came the vehicles and some past the W.M and know they were shot at from both sides the W.M being punctured from the bullets fired.

'' Damn it! We need to get those vehicles and take control of them!'' Ed exclaimed to Halst on top of the W.M firing his pistol with his shotgun on his back.

'' I know! Cills and Fekkels I need you to get some men and get those vehicles! We need to turn this battle to our favor!'' Halst ordered through his ear piece.

'' Yes sir!'' The two replied from their battle stations.

'' Mr. Halst can I talk to you for a second?'' Double D asked as he came on top.

'' What?'' Halst asked turning to Edd, who had a map in hand.

'' I think we need to make a tactical retreat! I examine the maps you provided me and I heard the transmission from other teams and I saw that there was three ways to the city from the gate we're covering. We're blocking one with the War Machine but the others are barley holding off if the reports are correct! We should pull back and plan!'' Edd gave the situation.

'' Are you sure?'' Halst said giving it some thought as Edd nodded.

Halst moved to the hatch pass Edd and jumped down to the steel floor as he moved to the front. He opened the steel door as he saw Marie who was controlling the machine guns and firing them off trying to get a good aim at the moving targets.

'' Marie we need to pull back!'' Halst exclaimed.

'' Why? We can still make a stand here!'' Marie stubbornly said thinking that they were running!

'' No its a tactical retreat! We need to regroup with any survivors and plan we can't hold them off here any longer!'' Halst said as he heard a rocket launcher fire and hit the W.M breaking all the windows and making the W.M tip a little.

'' Fine, just get everyone on board!'' Marie said as she let go off the controls and went to the drivers seat.

'' All units retreat, retreat! Anyone who is injured must be carried on the War Machine! I repeat we must make a retreat!'' Halst said as the W.M door opened and in came injured Bets with even some of his own coming in. Danielle and Sarah was escorting them in, luckily having only a few cuts.

'' Its all you Marie!'' Halst yelled over the moans and groans of pain from the soldiers as he heard the metal door close with the back one being heard too.

'' Everyone hold on!'' Marie exclaimed as he stepped on the gas and turned down the street driving pass soldiers who was on foot and knocking away destroyed vehicles.

Then a noise that many of the town heard before filled the air and Halst grew in fear as he heard a roar of a Tank.

In The Tunnel Way

'' RPG!'' A soldier called out as he came around the wall and fired at an incoming vehicle and it flew in the air on impact just over the Buster. On the other side of the gate the enemy had cars lined up dividing the tunnel way and using the cars as their defense. The vehicle that came at them was one of them making a desperate attempt to kill them.

Now there was a hole in the enemy's defense.

'' Okay soldiers move up and get more of those RPGs! I want some of you on the catwalk for an attack from above! Move!'' Charlion barked orders as the Bets did so. The battle was becoming their favor as Kevin took the Buster and drove up as the windshield was shot at making holes and cracks appear. Charlion was hanging on and laid in front top as he fired at the far away soldiers that was coming in.

The car barricade was breached as soldiers came in and killed the Gearheads guarding them and now they were pushing the enemy back. Bets appeared over on the catwalk as they fired at them enemy catching them by surprise and more of them died. Jimmy and Nazz got out of the Buster and got to the vehicle barricade guarding that point with others. When the two got out the gunfire became more louder as they echoed of them damage their ears while the Bets was used it by now. Nazz looked through a broken window and saw something in the distant and got her sniper rifle out and looked through and shot it at a man that got in the way as he died with led in his head.

As he fell she shot again at the object that she was sure was a person but instead of blood a spark came off it and Nazz zoomed out a little and saw the most disturbing thing and that was a metal like head with a big nose and whatever the hells those things were on the side of her head.

'' Charlion I see something man!'' Nazz yelled over the gunfire and another explosion.

'' What?'' Charlion asked turning to her.

'' Its some kind of thing with a blue shirt and metal head with weird ears!'' Nazz gave the description looking down the sights again to see its mouth opening to see a whole and fired hitting the side as sparks flew.

'' Did you get it?'' Charlion asked her knowing what the thing was and didn't want it here.

'' No!'' Nazz yelled and then a noise filled the air over the gunfire making everything stop. Kevin didn't know what that was as he covered his ears like the rest, but he did know that it wasn't a zombie he heard and that it was blowing through something like metal or a tube of some sort.

'' Fuck, drive back! Everyone retreat!'' Charlion yelled through the ear piece and to them as the noise stopped and a roar of a Tank replaced it that echoed through out the tunnel. Charlion look through his sights and saw the helmet wearing freak. He saw its mouth open and aimed and when it turned to him he was about the fire til someone came from above and shoved a grenade in the hole, but was caught by a tank and thrown back to what he saw was a mass of multiple kinds of zombies

It exploded and it fell down dead as pools of blood came out of its ears and mouth.

'' Jimmy, Nazz come on we have to go!'' Kevin yelled out to the two as they came running when another roar from multiple Tanks came.

'' I'm hit!'' Someone yelled over the roar as gunfire began and only Jimmy heard it.

Jimmy looked behind to see a man that looked twenty-one or twenty and saw that he was shot in his shoulder and leg. Jimmy thought of leaving him, but he turned back around and ran to the soldier that was at the other end of the car barricade.

'' Jimmy!'' Sarah called out to the boy as he ran the other direction.

Jimmy didn't hear her as he approached the man and got under his shoulder and carrying him as best as he could. The man was grunting in pain in Jimmy's ear as he limped leaning of Jimmy. Both of them made it to the Buster and Jimmy gave him to one of the men in white as he took him in. He was about to come on til his shirt got caught on a piece of metal on the vehicle next to the Buster. Jimmy pulled on his torn shirt as he tried to get it out with no help.

The roars and pounding of the Tanks came closer and Sarah got out to help him.

'' Come on Jimmy!'' Sarah said to him as she pulled to get him free.

'' No just go, I'm stuck!'' Jimmy said as the zombies got closer and the enemy was screaming as lesser zombies came at them and devoured their flesh.

'' I'm not leaving you behind!'' Sarah exclaimed.

'' We need to go whats the hold up!'' Kevin said as he looked to see Jimmy stuck and Sarah helping him. He looked up to see the Tanks just meters away from them and they was gaining on their position.

He got out his seat to help til Sarah was launched to him and he caught her landing back in his seat as Jimmy somehow did it.

'' Just go!'' Jimmy yelled and the Tanks was now close. Kevin and Sarah refused and was about to come and help til a 'Get Down!' was yelled and the car Jimmy was stuck on was then crash by a thrown burning vehicle as it slid around with a screaming Jimmy on board and was heading for a wall and they all closed their eyes as the car crashed and the screams of Jimmy was over.

Kevin gave Sarah to Nazz as she started calling out Jimmy's name not wanting to believe what she just seen. Kevin closed the door and got back in his seat and the wheel as he backed up and slid it to the front and drove down the tunnel, Sarah still screaming Jimmy's name as the roars and screams of the people left behind filled the tunnel as they drove on.

'' Sir we spotted a Boy of Silence and a soldier of ours was able to kill it, but we have zombies on us in and in the tunnel! Do we go with blocking the tunnel?'' Charlion barked out as he looked through he bus back window and saw the fire at the end and the roars.

'' Go ahead we can't let them in the city!'' Gale voice called out and Charlion looked ahead and got out a remote.

A light was at the end as they approached fast and when they came out he pressed the button as an explosion went off making the tunnel wall above it fall down and blocking anyway of entry from there.

'' Jimmy.'' Sarah whispered as she looked at Nazz to see her sadden too. Sarah hugged her and cried in her chest as the rest heard they too looking down knowing that they all lost people in there. Kevin drove on to the next area they were told to go heading into another battlefield filled with death.

With Eddy and Lee

Eddy and Lee turned the corner as the two riding in the back fired RPGs at the mass of enemies. They were given new orders to head to the Gate's turrets and try to get them under control as with those the fight will be over in a matter of minutes.

As Eddy drove he saw a Gearhead launch a RPG at the base of a burning building to the left and the explosion was big enough to send chunks of it off as it started to tilt. Eddy pressed on the gas as the building started to fall and he passed the area it would hit seconds before it impacted to the ground.

Eddy turned to the Buggy to the Gearhead who was running from him and ran him over probably not killing him. Eddy didn't turn or look back as he turned another corner, they needed to get these guys on back to the wall entrance.

'' Eddy its just down on the other side of the street, we're driving on!'' Len yelled from the back. Both men was kneeling avoiding bullets that was being shot all over the area.

'' Okay, just tell me when to stop!'' Eddy replied as he avoided the destroyed and burning cars in the street.

A man suddenly jumped on the hood. It was a man with fur pants and strong and lean looking body as his shirtless torso showed them and he had a pipe and hand. This was a Jackal clan member. He swung down fast and Eddy turned the car trying to shake the man off. The man swung down again even faster with Eddy barely dodging it, but Lee wasn't as lucky as it hit her straight in the head with a loud sickening sound and she fell forward knocked out.

Eddy got angry and reached for his sword and when he felt the familiar grip he swung it out cutting the man in the throat and stabbed in the chest as he pulled it out and he fell off. Eddy heard Jack telling him to stop and he pressed on the brake as the Buggy skid to a stop in front of a shot up door on the gate.

The two got off and moved to the door.'' You coming Eddy with got medical supplies in here too!'' Jack asked as he shot at an approaching men and they all fell dead from the explosion. Eddy himself was looking Lee over as he saw she was bleeding and tried waking her up only to receive groans of pains.

It was until he heard Jack's offer and decided to take it. He got Lee in his arms with their weapons strapped on his back. He closed the door and took the keys as Len opened the door, Jack and Eddy entering with Len closing the door behind them as the battle roared on.

On the other side it was dark til a lights came, it was two bulbs. Opposite of the door they entered was another door that probably lead to somewhere. The room had a table on the side and under it was crates filled with stuff.

'' Set her down on the table.'' Len ordered as he knelled pulling one of the crates out to show medical supplies. Eddy did so and set her down gently resting her head on the wood, Eddy moved away as Len started to examining her head for the injury spot and to stop the bleeding. Once he found the wound it was not pretty as it was badly bruised and swelling. He felt her pulse from the neck to make sure she was still alive and to tell what her beat was. It was calm, that's both bad and good.

He checked on her and Eddy was really getting worried. Jack was standing next to the entrance looking out the door through a crack seeing that the fight was still going strong as gunfire and explosions still filled the air.

'' So how is she?'' Eddy asked the anxiety in him being too much.

'' She'll live I'll tell you that. Her pulse is calm, but her head is really damaged and the force might have gave her a concussion. I need to patch the wound carefully as it is a high probability she also might have brain damage.'' Len explained and Eddy sighed glad that she'll live and whipping the sweat of his face.

'' I still need to treat her so you two have to man those turrets while I treat her wound. Jack put the Blocker on the door and good luck.'' Len ordered as he was in charge.

Jack nodded and reached in his back pocket to pull out a small metal disk and put it on the door pressing a button. Lines shot out like seat belts covering the corners of the door and going into the wall.

After making sure it was secure he turned to Eddy, who looked at the device on the door with wonder.

'' You ready pipsqueak?'' Jack taunted the shorter boy.

'' Now that reminded me of a brother I wish I never had!'' Eddy said as he punched the big man in the gut making him hunch over in pain.'' Now I'm ready.''

'' Okay you little punk, you win this one but watch out for me next time.'' Jack said with a grin already liking the kid. He got up and moved to the door opening it and going in with Eddy behind him their weapons ready. Eddy closed the door leaving Len to tend to Lee injury. There were flights of stairs going up and Eddy groaned knowing it was going to be a long way up. Jack chuckled at the short teens dislike of long stairs and couldn't blame him he hated it just as much as he did. Jack started his run up the stairs with an annoyed Eddy behind him.

10 Min. Later

Eddy and Jack made it to the top where the turrets were faces covered mildly in sweat and panting. The floor that they stopped on lead all the way to the top by a ladder in front of them where the first turret was.

'' Okay Eddy this is our chance to turn the tide of the fight over on this side of the city for our favor. This is the first turret that I'll take over while you go across the catwalk through that door,'' Jack pointed to the door right of the stair case.'' it has a radio and I should contact you once I see you get in. I need you to follow my instructions on how to work this thing and we can start to really kill these motherfuckers!'' Jack explained.

'' Okay, but your sure that this will be enough? Just two turrets? I mean sure this will help a lot but I don't think it can do much. They'll just send rocket launchers at us and that's it were done for!'' Eddy voiced his doubts and would have continued if Jack having got his shirt and lift him up.

'' Listen here you short piece of shit! I don't give a fucking damn if you have doubts! I have a wife and kid waiting for me to come home alive! These turrets can take more than you think cause over the years society have advance a little in tech and I know for a fact that these turrets can do much damage in just little time! Do you want to live to see your girlfriend down there? For her to live too? To have kids and start a family? Well do ya?'' Jack shouted in Eddy's face as the teen nodded.

'' Then do me a fucking favor and get to that turret learn how to use it and kill these motherfuckers before they kill you and probably keep your girl and start fucking her for fun!'' Jack shouted that and that made Eddy more determine to keep her alive and to fight to save others that wouldn't want that too.

Jack dropped Eddy on the ground and pointed to the door knowing that Eddy was ready to do this. Eddy ran to the door and opened closing it behind him leaving a smiling Jack as he scaled the ladder. Eddy heard the gunfire even from this high up. He looked below him to see that the metal floor under the catwalk was gone and showed a little of the action on ground level. Eddy moved on and started his run across the catwalk.

Half way through Eddy heard something coming and knew that it was coming for him and started to run faster. He made it to the door just in time as a rather strong RPG was fired at his where he was standing. The catwalk was blown off and a gap in the metal wall showed the battlefield below more and Eddy ran back and took a peak by the edge.

He pretty much got a whole view of the city and he saw fire from all Gates and looked below to see that gunfire and explosions was everywhere with the smoke from the fires covering most of it, but Eddy knew that it was like hell down there. Eddy stopped sight seeing and ran and opened the door. He saw another flight of stairs and was glad that he had a way out or he was stranded and more importantly away from Lee. He saw the ladder and climbed it seeing a hatch and opened it with a grunt as he saw nothing but darkness. Eddy climbed in nonetheless and closed the hatch leaving him in complete darkness.

He moved his hands a little to touch something and felt a wall and moved his hands around to find a switch and felt not a switch but a round thing and took the chance and pushed down. The lights came on and he was amazed at what he saw. There was a comfy looking seat that looked like it can turn from all directions actually where he was standing was lower than the seat and there was a two step stair to get up there. He did so and sat down and saw controls all around him his chair turning as he looked. He saw a window that stretch all around him leaving space for aim as he saw the outside of the of the city which was bare save for enemies who were setting up camps and he was sure that he can aim for them and take them out. He also saw inside the city where the all the chaos was.

He turned to what he thought was the controls of the gun which was like a turret from those war movies he saw. Two red buttons where his thumbs should be at with side bars and now he knew that this was the gun as the thing hummed to life the light darkening a little as it turned to blue.

'' Eddy come in. Do you copy?'' Eddy heard the radio above him come on hearing Jack's voice. Eddy grabbed the hooked W.T on it and clicked the button.

'' Yeah I copy, so how do I work this thing? Its like a helicopter controls times fifty!'' Eddy said to him.

'' Look all you need to do is find three buttons. One is blue, the other green and the last one red.'' Edd looked and found the buttons with one on each side and the green in the middle.

'' The blue is the rocket launchers, red is the machine gun and green is both of them. For this I suggest going green and don't worry we have enough ammo for these to last us for ten decades! The buttons all over is just a cover up with few actually being real and they just tune stuff or whatever. The gun and seat will move in a three-sixty degree angle and can go up and down by one-eighty degree angle. Just press the two red buttons to shoot with the right one being guns and the left missiles. So Eddy are you ready as when we start to fire we shoot at the camps and everyone will know we're here and try and attack us.'' Jack gave the instructions with Eddy replying a minute later.

'' You bet! Lets give these shitheads a taste of real guns!'' Eddy exclaimed with Jack wooing in agreement.

'' Lets do this!'' Both man and teen said as they aim at the camps and fired the missiles. The result was the death of any injured and non-injured enemy and the explosion of one of the main points as it all burned. Killing, burning or seriously injuring them. They turned inside and got to shooting the enemy down below. Jack already having gave the demand for everyone to move out and defend further away from their range.

This gave them the clearance to let Hell out of the enemy.

With Techlin and Callie at the Motor Shop and Repair. 20 min later

Techlin and Callie sat anxiously in their seats as they heard both the fixing of the bike and the gunfire and explosions from the battle outside. Techlin got up and started to pace wanting to really get out of there and fight. He already had a bad feeling that something happen to one of his friends.

When he heard the machines stopping he and Callie turned to the curtain that covered the man from the bike saying that it was a surprise. The curtain slid away making some noise on the rusty bars as the shop owner stepped next to his bike that was covered by a white sheet. Techlin moved up to it.

'' Lady and Gentleman I present to you your new and improve ride!'' The big man exclaimed as he uncovered the sheet. Both gasp at the bike as it was able to make Kevin want to drool.

The bike looked as clean as it gleamed with the new engine looking just like the old one with the sparks shiny and sharpen. Instead of one mini-gun on it there were five. The original in the middle of the bars and this time it had a black box over it with a four red buttons on the handles two for each with one in the middle of the bars. Two was at the side of the wheel on the suspenders with black box surrounding the back and leading up to the main mini-gun. Two were at the back with it looking like someone can shoot like a mini turret with the two side by side with enough room for them to spin.

The back was the box which gain silver detail and metal skull on the back where its mouth would open and shoot out the explosives. The decals was not a dragon but instead a wolf that was blue and the lights on the wheels, handle bars and around seat came on its color now blue. Techlin screamed like a fan-girl inside as he saw his dream bike right in front of him.

'' Now the buttons on the right handle bar are for turning on and off the lights with the upper one being for the ignition and yep no more keys and it has a voice option that responds to only your voice and all you have to say is a password that you choose. The other side bottom button if for allowing the back mini-gun turret to be active and for the one riding behind to cover your flank. The upper one is for you to turn on the mini-guns on the front and the middle is for your little explosives in the back and I added a little kick to them.'' The man explained as Techlin drooled at it with Callie shaking him out of it.

'' So... just in curiosity how much will this had cost me if I paid?'' Techlin asked whipping the drool of his mouth.

'' Here's the bill.'' The man showed the Techlin the bill and both he and Callie was glad that they put it on the tab cause they had no where knew that much of money.

'' Well thanks a lot Mr...'' Callie implied for him to give his name.

'' Degante.'' Degante said to her.

'' Thank you a lot Mr. Degante.'' Callie said as he boyfriend got on the bike and pressed the ignition making it come to alive again like it always did with the blue lights being the new feature.

'' No problem Miss, though your boyfriend might wreck it again so come back here if you ever need a repair.'' Degante said with Callie chuckling nervously.

'' What... boyfriend... I'm sorry sir but hes...'' Callie was stopped by Degante raising his hand.

'' Save it no need to hide it and your secret is safe with me.'' Degante said walking away leaving the couple.

'' Please enter voice command password.'' A computerize voice said. Techlin thought it over and whispered it.

'' Password now saved. If you want to change press the menu options and go to change password. Thank you and have a nice ride.'' The computerize voice said ending its message.

'' You ready Callie?'' Techlin asked as he put on his helmet with Callie doing so as well sitting back to back with him to man the back gun.

'' You bet!'' Callie said and just as she did the garage door open.

'' Good luck and Gale said head to the north gate with him. He says more are attacking from there. Godspeed you two.'' Degante said with a salute as Techlin tested the twist on the handle bars and a zoom later they were out of the garage and out on the street. Degante sighed as he closed the garage door and moved to the seat and looked up.

He knew those two were couple once he first saw them knowing lovers when he sees them. Degante knew their relationship extended beyond just for sex and all and might have been way before the outbreak. They were Forbidden lovers that might not never be accepted in society and yet they still loved each other no matter what others might say. Now he knew that Forbidden love was the one that shows love more than anything.

Rolf and Sally. Minutes after the Attack.

'' What in Nana's name was that?'' Rolf yelled as he looked and saw that a place was on fire. Him and Sally went to this park and started to walk and talk. They had some things in common and that was a start to both of them and then they hear explosions coming from everywhere.

'' I don't know.'' Sally said wishing that whatever was happening wasn't some attack and instead some accident.

They were then greeted by the five people dressed in black sent to follow Gale's daughter.'' Miss Sally we must go, the city is being under attack and we have orders to make sure you get to the bunkers safely.'' The lead soldier said.

'' What whose attacking?'' Rolf asked them.

'' Look we need to get to the bunkers, there mass chaos everywhere in the city so we have no time!'' The leader said as he grabbed Sally and another took Rolf and they were gone.

Rolf didn't know if he was going blind or not everything was blurred and he felt dizzy as the grip of the soldier around his waist was almost crushing and he wish he wasn't moving so fast or he would have let go. As suddenly as it started it stop and screaming and shouts was heard and when Rolf's vision cleared he saw people running around as Bets helped escort them down some tunnel that went into the ground.

'' Rolf!'' Rolf turned and looked all around him to see Sally who was being pushed inside the tunnel by the crowd. The men in black was too busy escorting everyone in the tunnels to notice that Sally. Rolf rolled his sleeves up and started to charge through the crowd shouts came to him as he did from the angry civilians.

Rolf was soon able to reach Sally and pull her through the opposite direction. Shouts of '' Other way kid!'' and '' Your going the wrong way!'' and '' Move!''. He ignored all of that as he moved and made it to an alley where he and Sally sat breathing hard as the shouts and screams entered their ears.

'' That...was...chaotic. Is it...always like...this?'' Rolf asked through pants.

'' Only when... there is a... big sale.'' Sally said with a chuckle lifting the mood a little. Rolf chuckled a little at the joke.

'' Come on we should go back to the building my dad works at. We should be safe there til its over.'' Sally said getting up with Rolf.

'' Are you sure?'' Rolf asked unsure if it was smart going there.

'' Yeah with everyone fighting at the gates no one can get by that chaos alive. Follow me!'' Sally said and started to run down the alley away from the real safe area.

Rolf followed reluctant to do so as he had a bad feeling in his stomach as he looked to where the tunnel they entered the city from and he hopped that everyone was alright. He ran to catch up to the running green-eyed girl.

At the North Gate

Loud stomps were heard just barely over the gunfire. These steps was from a giant metal thing. It was like a large scuba diver's suit. It was less bulky and more lean and there was a giant drill long enough for front and back sides of a door where the right hand should be. The other hand had a mini gun in an under sling of the arm. It was all silver metal.( Picture on profile. Its Subject Delta from Bioshock 2)

'' Sir we spotted a Boy of Silence and a soldier of ours was able to kill it, but we have zombies on us in and in the tunnel! Do we go with blocking the tunnel?'' Charlion voice came through the micro-phone in the suit

''Go ahead we can't let them in the city!''Gale said in the micro-phone as Charlion disconnected. He wasn't surprise to hear that they were here. Though now they will need to clear out the tunnel and the rubble.

He continued to run as he saw the battle ahead. He saw the buildings were burning and ran faster as civilians ran by heading to the underground bunkers. Some of them were injured and he ran even faster not liking that his people were getting hurt and a child came by limping as he saw a bullet wound in his arm and leg and he was carrying his little sister he presumed and she had a bullet in her arm.

He stopped in front of them and the kids screamed at the ''monster.''. Gale lifted the glass off the helmet to show the kids his face and they calmed down knowing him.'' Do you need help?'' Gale said with a smile reaching behind him and detach a medical kit from it and laid it down. He quickly set to work taking the girl and getting the bullet out of her arm carefully and fast and bandaged it up, he did the same to the boy but to the leg.

The kids themselves were surprised that the leader moved so fast and they were fixed in minutes. They were still aching but the big brother can do it as his sister still was too hurt to move on her own.

'' Thank you mister leader sir.'' The girl thanked as he got up the boy himself nodding to him in thanks.

'' Please just call me Mr. Gale.'' Gale said with as smile.

'' Thank you Mr. Gale sir!'' The girl cried out as her brother ran pass him with her on his back.

Gale sighed as he put the lid back on and the medic kit on his back and ran to the battlefield. He was there in seconds and started to fight his way through drilling through the enemy both figuratively and literally as he shoot his mini-gun taking down many bandits. He soon saw one of the members of the squad he sent.

The man was fighting off a few Jackals and it was becoming a challenge as his clothes was stained with blood and he was using his pistol his assault rifle strapped to his back killing the enemy away and he knew who it was. He saw a Gearhead right behind him and he quickly rushed to the Gearhead his drill turning on and spinning. He was able to reach the Gearhead and puncture right through the metal armor and into the and through the gut, him screaming in pain as blood went everywhere on Gale's suit and the soldier's back. Guts started to come out and gale slid the man off as it stopped spinning and he fell down dead and a giant hole where his stomach should be.

The ones that was attacking his soldier was frozen in fear at the gruesome scene and the menacing ''monster'' in front of them, this was enough time for the Assault Specialist to kill them with a bullet to the head. The man in white turned to the man in a suit and nodded in thanks knowing who it was.

'' Sir.'' The soldier said saluting.

'' Do you know where Fick is?'' Gale asked immediately.

'' Yes hes at the gate with the others and he sent me and some Bets to get the ones getting by our defenses.'' The soldier said motioning to the dead people in front of them.

'' Thanks and make sure no one gets by and use that assault rifle that's why you have it!'' Gale called back as he ran to the main gate. The soldier decided to follow his leader's advice and use it just as he got it off his back a kid on a bike came by with a lady riding behind and was that a mini-gun at the back.

Gale was able to meet up with the Fick and saw him shooting down the enemy as more enemy forces came in. Fick heard his leader foot steps and only did a quick glance before turning back and kept shooting. Gale came up next to him and started to shoot his mini-gun as to equal the playing field. Now the enemy was backing up as the monster in a suit kept firing a mini-gun of death. Fick threw a grenade and watched as it rolled and a boom followed by screams made him smile knowing that it was almost over.

'' Thanks sir! HAHAHAHA! I guess we won!'' Fick said as he fired like a madman. Then the oh so familiar yell field the air that they all knew so well. A Boy of Silence was here. The yells and screeched of Tanks and other zombies came over the gunfire stopping all the shooting. A bike slid to a stop to the side showing Techlin and Callie who was looking forward though the smoke that had build on the street.

The building around it was torn up with Bets around the area staring ahead having stopped firing. Buildings burned and people then heard another screech and a roar and Tank came out of the smoke heading straight for the four people. Techlin turned forward and aimed his mini-gun at it and so did Gale and Fick, though for someone so buff they thought he would be holding two RPGs instead. They fired at the best as bullets punctured all through out its body and yet it still came fast shrugging off the bullets.

It slowed down gradually as more bullets entered it making a bigger blood trail it fell forward sliding to a stop with hundreds of bullets in its body bleeding profusely with it having a few huffs still alive til Gale stepped on its head killing it. Soon the fighting continued but now there were zombies yells and gunfire.

'' Damn we need to find that son of the bitch whose calling them!'' Fick said shooting down a Charger that was coming their way.

'' Agree, but we should hold down the line here. Tech my boy you think you can do this?'' Gale asked turning to the List member who nodded.

'' I got it covered!'' Techlin said driving forward dodging the debris and cars that's have been scattered on the street.

The blade boy pressed the button that activated the back turrets and told Callie to start firing. They zoomed down the street Callie shooting the enemies they went by, some started shooting back but they drove by too fast for the enemy to get a good aim. Another mechanical screech was heard as Hunters dropped from the building trying to get Techlin and Callie.

'' Do you see him yet?'' Callie shouted over the gunfire that she made shooting at the Hunters that was giving chase.

'' No! Just keep shooting Baby!'' Techlin said as he drift around the corner. The Hunters still chasing and their numbers decreasing.

The street was just the same as any with both sides dieing and since the zombies came some enemy forces worked together with Gale's Bets. It was a group of that inside an alley having blocked it with a car and was firing from that spot. Techlin rode by it dodging the firing and Callie saw Hunters on the rooftop dropping down that alley with gun shot from the inside. Either Hunters got them or they got the Hunters, when the firing continued that was their answer.

Techlin made another turn heading straight for the gate. He heard Callie saying that no more was following them, they soon heard the screech again and stopped in front of an alley way. It was deafening and they both covered their ears as they looked around and they saw the hideous thing on top of a building across from them.

Techlin moved the bike in the alley and got off with Callie doing so as well. They took the helmets off and set them on the bike. Techlin locking it. They both got their weapons with them both having their Assault Rifles. Techlin had the FAD with Red Dot Sight and Extra Magazine Size and Callie sported a Kriss with the same attachments as Techlin.

'' Okay Callie we're going to charge across the street and go inside that building and reach the top area. That thing up there is our target.'' Techlin said checking his weapons and seeing that he had them all.

'' Okay. I'm ready.'' Callie said turning the safety off.

'' Okay lets go.'' Techlin exclaimed running out in too the street ducking to not get shot with Callie doing the same. They made it across the street unharmed and them coughing a little, the smoke from fires was intoxicating and the buildings around them that was on fire wasn't helping. Techlin kicked down the door and ran in with Callie coming inside after him. He closed the door whipping the sweat of his forehead.

'' Come on we need to kill this guy and head back before this smoke kills you.'' Techlin his only worry being Callie.

''Agreed.'' Callie said turning to the stairs.

It was some apartment building as they climbed the stairs and there was rooms with room numbers on the door. The two lovers made it to the third floor halfway to the top til they heard a screech from the Boy of Silence. They then heard a roar from a Tank and the building shook and shook til the Tank itself busted through the wall on the third floor stair way. The walls crumbled as the floor under them started to fall off. The two recovered having their hand on to the bars of the stairs and the Tank roared at them.

'' This way!'' Callie said busting through a door of an apartment room with Techlin following a second later. The Tank came on the building the unstable floor breaking as it gripped to the wall and soon pulled itself up crashing through the apartment door and charging after the two destroying the walls and furniture of the small home.

The two made it to a back door that lead to a balcony and they started to climb on to the fourth floor. They stopped when the Tank busted through the third floor wall and its weight making the old balcony break pulling it down. The two fell down as it shook and the Tank held on to a metal ledge it cutting through its skin making it bleed, but it still tried to climbed up and the balcony jerked down.

Techlin and Callie made a dash upwards knowing the balcony will not hold much longer. They made it to the fifth floor before a groan from the balcony told them it was time to get off. Tech broke down a window of an apartment room and jumped in Callie right behind him. They turned just in time to see the Tank face show up in the window and they immediately started firing shooting it in the head as it roared in pain and the balcony finally broke and fell down taking the roaring Tank with it and they heard a large thud and metal hitting the ground below the Tank roars silenced.

Callie looked out the window and saw the Tank with metal punctured through its body especially with a stairway side in its head opening its head and showing its partially decompose brain.'' Is it dead? Cause it better be dead.'' Techlin asked her.

'' Yeah, lets go.'' Callie said turning away from the window. Techlin nodded and made his way to the hallway, they slowly pushed opened the door and Techlin looked out seeing no one and only hearing the noise from outside. He pushed it all the way open and walked out heading up the stair and getting to the roof entrance. They heard the same screech and they covered their ears again, when it was over they didn't hear anything else coming after them and assumed that it assumed they were dead and that they took the Tank with them.

This was their chance. They looked to each other and nodded. They put their foot up and kicked the door open. The Boy of Silence turned to them his body texture telling them he was surprise and instead of calling the zombies he got two things of his back showing two spears and he started doing some moving with it.

The two looked at it like it was crazy and pointed their guns and fired the bullets clank to the metal helmet and it charged and they fired more and more aiming for the whole til a bullet hit the hole that was the mouth and going in it and the thing fell down and was twitching. Techlin moved to it and heard it gurgling and aimed down through its mouth as it reached begging for mercy and Techlin did so by shooting it multiple times through the 'mouth' and blood came up as its arm fell down with it dead.

'' Its dead.'' Techlin said looking back at Callie who looked a little glad and her hair was a mess from the run up here.

'' Thank god, hey what was it he was wielding anyway?'' Callie asked pointing to the two sticks on the ground.

Techlin looked and saw the weapon that it used and it was a weird one at that. The blade top of each side was curved and with some blade down the side that was curved as well. The staff part that was painted white and wooden had carvings all over it in majestic design of a raven and eagle with the wolf on the bottom and the eagle at the top. Techlin picked it up to look closer and saw scenes carved on it as the two animals came closer til they reached the middle showing them between a sphere of some sort. He pulled them apart showing little blades at the bottom of each.

Tech didn't know why, but he wanted this weapon more so than his blades like this was made for him. But the call of Callie shook his out of his thoughts and saw her in front of him looking worried.

'' You okay, you zoned out on me.'' Callie said to him.

'' Oh...um sorry, look I'm taking this as a spoil of war and see where I can get myself with this.'' Techlin said twirling it around in his hands.

'' Well if your using that then can I have your family blades.'' Callie asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

'' I'll think about it.'' Techlin said walking away from the woman to the stairway.

'' What do you mean you'll think about it! You already have a weapon and I say its unfair that you have two!'' Callie argued following after him.

'' I know I know, I said I'll think about it did I?'' Techlin said with a smirk unseen by Callie.

'' Yeah, but you have to give it to me.'' Callie said and they continued this til they reached the alley way where a couple of Gearheads was trying to get the bike and make it work.

'' Hey get the hell off my bike!'' Techlin shouted running over to them.

They looked over to Techlin thinking they were in trouble til they saw a kid running over to them with a hot piece of meat behind him. They laughed out load not believing this kid.

'' Yeah, well what are you going to do about it kid?'' One of them said with a smirk as he lifted his helmet showing his white face with a toothy grin.

'' Yeah, and tell your friend over there to come over here that way we can give her a good surprise.'' The other said with a perverted tone not knowing who they were messing with.

'' Oh, hey there hot stuff. Is this your boyfriend? Well I say you can do a lot better than a kid and I nominate myself if you know what I'm saying.'' Oh now the two are in for it.' Idiots should have stopped at the beginning.'

'' Come on sweetie we can show you a good time!'' Anger was coming off of Techlin as they continued with Callie not wanting to be those guys and backed away.

s

'' Where ya going? I oh now, you got urges in down stairs and you want to do with us. So now your leaving before you get embarrassed in front of two men.'' They were dead!

' Idiots should have stopped at the beginning.' Callie thought as Techlin got the spear in his hands and in a stance fit for it.

'' Oh did we make you mad?'' One of them taunted.

'' Well kid we got news for yo-AGGG!'' The man was silence as the spear pierced his gut right through his armor. Blood leaked from the wound and he coughed up blood. He fell forward the spear going deeper in him as his body slumped to the ground and death's grip came and took him his world turning dark

The blade and staff was covered in blood by the dead man. The other one who took off his mask looked in horror at his dead comrade as he backed up to the wall in shock. The kid was just in the street and in a second he saw his friend get pierced in the gut by the spear and the boy was there taking the spear out of his body in a quick sickening sound. More blood came from the body when the spear was fully removed.

The man saw the boy turn to him the spear in hand and slowly walked to him. Suddenly the man was scared out of his wits and stuttered words out begging for the boy no demon to not kill him. Telling lies about how he never wanted to take the bike, he was just joking, and other things that Techlin didn't care about.

Techlin brung the spear up as the man started cry and he swung down the man screams echoing in the air. He slumped to the side dead with a giant hold in his forehead as Techlin and Callie got on the bike and rode away from the scene. The spear was strapped to Techlin's back and was still bloody but he didn't care.

'' You alright?'' Callie asked him.

'' Yeah, just forget about what you saw.'' Techlin said.

'' You sure you don't want to talk about it?'' Callie asked.

'' Yeah, just a little stressed. I have a bad feeling something happen and I just let it out on them.'' Techlin explained.

'' Well...its alright.'' Callie said leaning on to him not caring of the object on Techlin's back.

'' I know.'' Techlin said and turned the corner.

With The Buster

The Buster drove down the street the ones inside quiet, the gunfire and explosions being their current music. The kids on the bus didn't know what to do or what to think. Just ten minutes ago they lost their friend and now they were going to another battlefield of death. People dieing to protect something. Family, friends, loved one, kids and their own life. Jimmy, just like Jonny, died to protect something precious to him. Now it will happen all over again, but with different people they didn't know a single thing about.

Kevin himself just kept the pedal down and drove. He was nervous at going to the South Gate, his thoughts swarmed with 'what ifs' and one of them asked 'What if someone else dies?' and his thoughts were stuck on that. Their group was separated all over the city. with everyone knowing where they were at, besides Rolf who they didn't spot either and they didn't want to believe he was gone. He was tough so they shouldn't worry, right?

Kevin turned the street the gunfire becoming louder as burning buildings came up. The air was filled with black smoke that suffocated the ones outside and yet they still fought on. As they passed Kevin slowed down once he saw a line of cars ahead of them. On the other side of the car blockade was Bets who were fighting the enemy and zombies that showed up.

'' Charlion please tell me I see your white ass and that I'm not blind.'' The silenced broke for Charlion as he heard a very familiar voice.

'' Callab what are doing here and where are you?'' Charlion ask looking out from the front windshield.

'' I'm in the building on the right of you. I was sent since you guys were busy in the Tunnel.'' The man said as Charlion looked to the right and indeed saw his friend on the roof top.'' We have injured inside so send anyone whose injured alright, I and the others here can probably fix things up.''

'' Okay, I'm going to come over. Anyone else want to go? '' Charlion asked the passengers and Nazz, Sarah, the man Jimmy saved and one of his squad members raised their hands and nodded to the door. Being the first to leave with the others following.

'' Why you guys going?'' Kevin asked before they left. Nazz told Sarah to follow Charlion as she talked to Kevin about something, she was reluctant but still went nonetheless knowing that it might be important.

'' Look dude, I don't think Sarah should be out there. I mean after Jimmy...died. I believe its best for her to stay somewhere safe and not see more people die.'' Nazz explained.

'' You sure, I heard over their conversation. Its like a hospital and people die in hospitals.'' Kevin said.

'' Well I'll just put her somewhere else not close to the injured wherever they are in the building. But its the only safe place she can stay so just trust me on this one.'' Nazz told him with a stern face and despite the situation Kevin had to admit that she still looked beautiful.

'' Okay, you staying?'' Kevin asked one more question.

'' Yeah, so good luck.'' Nazz said giving him a peck on the cheek as she ran out to catch up with Sarah.

Nazz entered the apartment building and instantly her sense of smell was assaulted with the light smell of blood. It didn't smell real bad, but it still was easy to smell. The hall in front of her had doors opened and she heard the groans of soldiers who were injured and started to walk forward going to the stair that lead up stairs.

As she moved she looked into the rooms and saw soldiers, both male and female, who were bandaged and healing. One man she saw was missing an arm and their side and clothes were burned. Many had bandages on their legs, head, arms, abdomen, and chest and few had those on them all over. All were stained with blood. Nazz kept moving not wanting to see the injured knowing that an attack this size there will be more injured.

As Nazz went up each floor she saw the same thing in each room with doctors and nurses checking on them replacing the bandages and trying to dull the pain they felt. Some she saw wasn't even injured and was just staring at the wall or ceiling not blinking, sometimes it doesn't take a physical injury to damage a man. When Nazz looked closer she saw that his face was covered in dirt and blood. She kept moving and she was at the rooftop entrance in three minutes.

Nazz twisted the nob and pushed the door open and saw Charlion who was talking to a man in a military uniform and had on a helmet with a face cover. He had a shotgun in hand with an Assault Rifle strapped across his back.

Sarah was talking with the other squad member that came along and he was setting up his Sniper Rifle next to the ledge of the rooftop. She walked over to them and heard what they were talking.

''-so you see the best way to remember a friend nowadays is by living on in their memory and seeing this whole thing til the end.'' The squad member said to Sarah looking down the sights of his weapon.

'' But how can you live with out that person after you known them for so long?'' Sarah asked still wanting Jimmy alive and with her.

'' Well my father died of old age, thank god, and he asked me to take care of the family as he did. So what did your friend, Jimmy was it, wanted the most?'' The man asked looking away from his weapon and to the ginger.

'' Well he always wanted to find out parents and for us to open our own little coffee shop before this all happened.'' Sarah said gesturing to the fighting and more importantly what happened to the world.

'' Then the open that coffee shop of yours and become a successful business. Find yours and his parents and live a happy life. I know for a fact that it'll get better. I mean look at La Crosse, sure its under attack now, but before and after this life was good with people living happily and having fun knowing that nothing could hurt them. Plus we aren't even one of the three strongholds that are more widely known. I even heard that settlers was starting over in new places in the U.S and protecting what there's and zombies were getting smaller in numbers.'' The man explained, but stopped when Sarah lunged at him giving him a hug.

'' Thank you mister!'' Sarah said as she cried a little. The man was shocked at the girl's action and saw Nazz and his eyebrows rose.

Nazz made a hugging gesture telling him to hug back and the man slowly brung the girl into his hug as his shirt was stained with tears. But it lasted only a minute and Sarah let go blushing a little at what she just did.

'' Uhh...sorry mister.'' Sarah said the blush on her cheeks still there.

'' Don't worry and the name is Lane.'' Lane introduced himself.'' Look open that shop and I'll come in visit for a cup if I ever drop by.''

'' Thanks.'' Sarah said the blush going down.

'' Well that was nice of you so I owe you some thanks as well.'' Nazz said surprising Sarah.

'' Well your welcome than.'' Lane said.

'' How much did you see?'' Sarah asked with a groan at the end.

'' Enough.'' Was her simple answer.

'' Lane! You're obviously staying so keep in touch! You two are you staying?'' Charlion called out to them about to leave.

'' Yeah, we're going to help the injured!'' Sarah called out in a more cheery tone. Charlion just shrugged and asked Callab if it was alright and he nodded. Charlion waved to them as he entered the stair way and started to go down.

'' Well you two since you want to help come with me!'' Callab said as he started to go down the stairs the two girls following after saying goodbye to Lane who just chuckled.

'' Crazy kid.'' Lane whispered as he looked down his sights and saw a Jackal running down the street and fired.

On The Street.

Charlion entered the Buster and nodded to Kevin who closed the bus door and stepped on the gas turning to the side and going down the street. He made a right turn and up ahead was soldiers who were fighting and needed the support. They started their way down the street, guns blazing and the soldiers cheered as they fought on now having the upper hand.

With the War Machine.

The War Machine stopped in front of a building where their was a temporary hospital of an apartment building in case of this situation. People piled out and went into the temp. hospital where doctors and nurses were already waiting having suspect that someone would come to their location sooner or later.

As soon as they were all out Halst called everyone over to the back to discuss planning. Double D had moved the table to the middle of the room where everyone stood waiting for this to begin.

'' Now as I said to Halst I examine the maps and we were holding on strong on our side, but the others wasn't and if they fell we could have been facing both sides of us which would've killed us all. So on the way here I devised a plan. We need to keep fighting with everything we have, but a small team will be sent to the turrets as I heard on Eddy's side that their battle would be over and that they gotten their Boy of Silence before it could act. If we were to get to those turrets then we should be able to turn the tide of battle to our favor. Its a giant risk, but this is completely necessary or we lose this part of the city to the enemy.'' Double D explained the news and plan.

'' Its a good idea and I'm willing to take anything right about now. So whose going?'' Halst asked Edd.

'' Well I say at least six of us to go. Now I have my suggestions but tell me if you don't want to go. I chose Ed, Danielle, myself, Luke, Halst and one of your members.'' Edd explained who he thought should go. Ed didn't have a problem with it, so id Danielle and Luke.

Halst was in and asked himself which one of his squad should go and decided that Gil will go as his other two was still getting those vehicles.'' Gils!'' Halst said turning the woman.

'' Sir!'' The woman said.

'' I need you to help in this one can you come with?'' Halst asked and the woman nodded in agreement to the offer.

'' Okay everyone is on board with the plan. Now how do we get there?'' Halst asked and engines of cars was heard and they all moved outside to see three enemy vehicles coming over to them. They were about to shoot til they saw the familiar white that the squads wore in the drivers seat. They let their guard down and vehicles pulled up to a stop in front of them showing the squad member who clothes were stained in red and black.

'' Sir task complete.'' The soldier said jumping out of the buggy.

'' Does that answer your question?'' Marie asked.

'' Indeed it does.'' Halst said and walked over to the men to tell them of the plan.

'' Double D are you sure this is a good idea?'' May asked.

'' I'm sure, but we are limited with options currently so we should take any chance we get.'' Double D said turning the attention to his own group.

'' Does anyone else have a bad feeling in their stomachs?'' Danielle suddenly asked.

'' Now that you mentioned it, yes I do.'' Ed said not liking the feeling.

'' I hope the others are okay.'' Luke said hopping the feeling wasn't some kind of sign.

'' Okay Eddward we're ready to get this task underway.'' Halst said cutting through their conversation.

'' Oh okay, well everyone make sure you have your weapons and then we'll go.'' Double D said knowing he already had all his weapons. Some went inside the W.M and got their weapons and came out heading for the vehicles.

They all paired with someone and got in one vehicle. Ed and Double D shared one, Luke and Danielle did so as well, and Halst and Gils took the last one together. They revved the engines to life and was on their way.

'' Good luck!'' Marie and May said and Ed and Double D waved to them before they drove off Halst leading them.

'' Well we heard the order lets get in the War Machine and kill those motherfuckers!'' Marie called out to the rest and they cheered as they got in the W.M. Bets came out from the ''hospital their wounds not completely healed but were willing to fight to the death.

The W.M came to life and May drove down the street with the soldiers in foot following.

With The Team.

'' Okay you all we need to be quick cause we got both zombies and enemy soldiers on the list of problems. I'll lead and just follow.'' Halst said through the earpiece.

'' Roger.'' Danielle and Luke said

'' Roger.'' Ed said in the ear piece. Double D was in the passenger's seat.

'' Ed can you believe we got drag into this?'' Double D said turning to his friend.

'' No, but with our luck I say so.'' Ed said with a chuckle.

'' I suppose, but it seems so random than an event like this will happen on our travels. I mean this is our first time venturing on the road and look at where we are! In the middle of a war for all I know between two organizations that we have no affiliation with neither of them.'' Double D said knowing their luck couldn't get worse than this.

'' Well it could be worse.'' Ed said to what Double D was saying.

'' How?'' Double D said.

'' I mean I at least we have May, Marie, and Lee right. Plus we have all of our friends. Our parents could still be alive you know!'' Ed said trying to brighten the boys mood.

'' I guess, but still our luck is as rotten as a three month sun bathed apple.'' The smart-Ed said.

'' It should get better though right? I mean look all around us. Before this attack we saw people getting along just fine and being happy with life despite what is happening outside the walls that guard them day in and out. They all know they one day everyday life might go back to normal. And this is just a Faction Stronghold I think that's what they call them and not even the city we're trying to go to so it might be even better at New Chicago!'' The strong-Ed said with Edd's dark thoughts turning lighter.

'' Maybe your right Ed, I have to be positive.'' Double D said feeling a little better and the feeling in his and Ed's gut lessening.

'' That's the way mister!'' Ed said.

Through out their hold conversation they were able to pass by the fighting and do a complete round about from the middle of the action to the side and they were at the wall entrance the fighting clearly still going on. Ed and Double D just noticed this and they were shocked that they were so entranced in their conversation that they forgot where they were going and everything.

Double D looked ahead and saw Danielle, Luke, Halst, and Gils ahead still driving and dodge the cars that were in their way. Luckily no one was on this street as the fighting moved up, but they were still on alert. Their was still zombies out there that might come back to eat the dead bodies littered on the ground. They soon made it to the entrance to the turrets and luckily their was no one who spotted them as soldiers entered through the gaping hole in the wall. They put the vehicles in the alley as to hide that they were there and got out the vehicles. They made sure they were off before they made their way to the entrance of the alley. Edd peeked out and saw the enemy that was piling through the Gate entrance.

'' Okay so how do we get pass without getting blown, shot, and eaten up at the same time?'' Gils asked.

'' Easy just follow me duck while running and run like Hell is on your tail.'' Halst said as he ran out ducking as he did and the others following. They made it to the entrance in no time and Halst opened the door and went in with the others following soon after. Edd slowly closed the door and when he heard the click from the door he let it go and backed away.

Gils moved and put a Blocker on the door which amazed the other four, but they put that aside for now.'' Okay here how it goes. One person can fit in the turret so two for each one to guard the one in the turret as enemy will do what they can to do so. I and Ed would be the ones commanding the turrets and Gils I want you to go on the other side once we reach the top and go down and block the entrance with a Blocker.'' Halst explained and they all nodded.

Halst opened the door and looked in just in case some enemy soldiers took an idea of theirs. He started the long run up and the others followed after.

10 Min Later

The temporary team reached the top covered in sweat, but still was good to move on. Halst explained on the way up to Ed of how the turrets work and how the buttons is just a disguise for the enemy that will try to understand what the operation of each one was. He told what buttons to press and the capabilities of the turret.

'' Okay Ed you know how to work it so keep contact with the radio inside the turret once you, Eddward and Gils get to the other side. Gils here is my Blocker and remember to use it on the door on the other side. Now lets move! We got people to save!'' Halst ordered and climbed the ladder and the others went across to the other side.

Once they were at the other side Ed went up to the ladder and entered the other turret seeing what Eddy saw and had to admit that they needed on of these! Gils went down the stairs as soon as they exited the catwalk. Double D was alone on the top floor and looked around him seeing nothing of interest. His mind began to wonder as he thought of that feeling he had.

Double D didn't like this feeling. He felt it not too long ago, it was before he knew of Jonny being bitten. He felt it, but ignored it as he had more pressing matters to attend to at that time like trying not to get killed by that...thing. Edd, after that event in the mall, didn't think they were that lucky as they lost their parents who they hoped that was alive somewhere, experienced killing at a young age, and seeing things they shouldn't have seen in their young lives.

But he was wrong, so entirely wrong, he didn't think of the zombies evolving into stronger ones. He thought they were recent but by the people they met on their travels he then knew that it was with them for a while, but didn't spread and they probably just got them. So that means that their spread is slow so that mean that some places in the U.S or in the world are uninhabited by the evolved and are just normal zombies.

But he was entirely wrong again as they unleashed a new type of zombies more tougher than the new ones! And another was this situation they were in. He at least thought people will work together to stop this and return to normal humanity. But instead they were killing each other!

' I guess human nature will never change. But at least there are those trying to restore normal lives like La Crosse and Gale as he probably leaded the place since its beginning.' Edd thought but his thoughts were interrupted as he saw the woman known as Gils came up the stairs panting and sweating. She removed her face mask over her face showing her black hair that fell down her head and covered her left eye and it fell just pass her neck. She had purple eyes like he saw through her opener for her to see and had a beautiful face, but not as much as Marie.

Gils saw him looking and decided to tease him a little and put her hands on her sides and make a seductive look.'' What you staring at little boy?'' Gils said smiling a sexy smile.

Double D blush at what she was doing and had to admit that he was ashamed that he blushed at another woman. If Marie found out then he'll be dead or she'll torture him til he wished he was dead.'' Please stop that! I already have a girlfriend!'' Double D nearly shouted as he covered his eyes.

Gils started to laugh out loud at that. And fell back on her nicely shaped butt as she hold her sides. Double D blush went up as the woman laughed more embarrassed then ever that she was laughing at him. When she stopped she got up and whipped the tears away as she chuckled with laughter.

'' Don't worry, just teasing you a little. Besides your not my tap, sure I like smart men but I want one with strong arms and hot. Like that kid with the black hair that had that nice looking light green eyes.'' Gils said thinking lovely of that man in boy skin.

'' Dante!'' Edd said in a mutter but the girl still heard it.

'' Oh so that boy's name is Dante. Nice! So do you know anything else about him?'' The woman asked coming closer to Double D.

'' Well um...not much but he is an inventor and is fairly strong.'' Double D said, The woman nodded with a hum liking him more, but asked about his personality.

'' Hes nice and has a strange way of caring for others. But he does rely on his friends when he needs them and is very defendant of those close to him. But overall hes a good guy to be friends with, even our leader says that he and Dante were almost like brothers back then.'' Edd explained his friend's personalty.

'' Oh I think I'm in love!'' Gils said with purple hearts in her eyes.

Their conversation was over to the roaring sounds of the turrets being fired and the knew that the assault has just begun. They covered their ears as the firing continued and they weren't surprise that it was this loud. Gils put on her her head/face wear as it clouded out the noise but she still put her ears over her ears a second later.

With Gale and Techlin

Gale and Techlin stood back to back in the middle of the street. They were surrounded by two dozens of Jackals who all hold a sharp or blunt weapon in hand. Techlin wielded his new staff having gave the blades to Callie. He and Gale were on their way to the turrets hearing of the success of battle from all three sides with the turrets and the two decided to end it the same like the others did.

Gale received reports of enemy retreating, but many was still fighting. This predicament they were in showed that. A Jackal suddenly charged and tried to hit Techlin with a blunt weapon and he didn't get far as Techlin sliced him in half from the torso. Two came at Gale and he ran his drill through both killing them as their insides came out. Then they all charged at them at attempting to revenge their fallen companions. Tech sliced through them like paper but they still came none the less. Two came at his sides and he separated the spear and through them impaling them through the head. Techlin moved quickly and took out one of the small spears and stabbed through one right behind him.

Gale was able to easily kill his attackers drilling through them with no problem. Soon the enemies was dead in a pool of body parts and blood. Gale suit was covered in blood and Techlin was covered in blood as well and knew he'll need to wash.

'' Come on we wasted enough time.'' Techlin said retrieving his weapons as they started their run to the turrets. The reason he didn't have his bike cause he gave it to Callie before they left. It was best as they both could get there at their normal speed. Plus Gale couldn't fit on his bike and would have broke it with the weight. Callie was some where getting medical supplies to Bets in battle.

Gale and Techlin turned the corner and Gale saw the entrance to the turrets. Was he glad that they were close by. That gladness was crushed when two Tanks turned the corner from a building at the other end of the street. They turned to them and they knew that they were hungry. The two roared and charged at them.

'' Shit! Run!'' Techlin said as they both turned back and started to run and the Tanks smashed into the building's side crushing right through with no problem. Tech and Gale looked over their shoulders and saw one of the Tanks lift a burning car and chuck it at them. Both jumped to the side and out of the way as the car hit the street and started to roll into another building. Gale turned on his back side and looked up to see the Tank about to smash down on him, but he rolled out of the way as cob webs came on the concrete.

Gale got up and saw the Tank come at him again and Gale got his drill ready and thrust forward catching its fist with it punching through the skin and bones making the giant fist to be gone and nothing else but meat on the ground. The Tank roared in pain and grabbed the drill, its blood and skin coming off, but its still tighten and it was able to stop the spinning and Gale was surprised as it ripped the drill off the arm making sparks fly and hit Gale's uncovered hand as it shocked him. The Tank whacked Gale away and into a building leaving him on the brick wall. Blood come down from his mouth as he felt pain, so much pain and he saw the Tank come at him and punch him in the stomach making saliva and blood come out his mouth.

Gale struck back by hitting him with the mini-gun knocking it away, stunned the Tank didn't notice the gun in its face til the last second. Gale pulled the trigger as bullets came into its head and the head of the Tank fell off. Gale didn't stop as he shot it in the chest and when he heard a click he was satisfied as the body of the Tank was left on the ground with over a hundred bullets in the chest and head or whats left of the head.

Techlin dodged another punch from the Tank as it become angry at missing its meal. Techlin been dodging the Tanks attacks and he was getting tired. He was able to stab it through the stomach with his spear but it got stuck as blood blood dripped from the wound. The strikes have started to weaken and being slow showing that it was losing too much blood to continue. The Tank made another attempt to stop his prey and Tech dodge and ran up to the spear. The leader grabbed onto the spear and started to pull and the Tank roared in pain as Tech pulled harder but the Tank grabbed Techlin by the waist and through him away. Techlin was able to get a strong grip on the staff and the Tank pulled him and the spear out leaving it with a hole in its stomach as it bleed more.

Tech crashed into a car and he felt pain again. The wound on his stomach reopened as he felt the blood come out and he winced as he got up. The Tank came at him with a more intent to kill him as Techlin was punched straight in the gut and he, and the car behind him, went flying as he landed on a curb and the car was lodged in the building. The pain sky rocketed as he coughed up blood and held his stomach in pain with his right hand while his left still gripped his weapon. Techlin heard a roar and looked up as the Tank charged at him again and Tech got to his feet and held the weapon up as it came. Tech knew that if he missed this one then he might be finished, but he had hope that this simple yet complicated plan would work.

The Tank charged faster and Techlin counted down the seconds it would reach him.

'Five... Closer. Four...Closer. Three... Almost there. Two... Almost. ' Techlin thought.'' One! Take this!'' Techlin shouted as he separated the staff into two ends and jumped in the air avoiding a hit from the Tank. In midair he twisted the spears to the sharp ends and smashed them in the Tank's head with a sickening sound.

The Tank thrashed around and roared as it tried to get Tech off of him. Tech himself was surprised that the Tank was still fighting as he hand on tight with his grip twisting the blades in its head. But soon the injury in its stomach and its head caught up to it and it fell to the ground on its knees swinging its arms out in a vain attempt to fight on til it hit the ground and with a loud sigh it died. Techlin sighed as he pulled the small spears out leaving deep gashes in its head as blood poured out.

Tech looked at the mess that was left of the Tank and had to admit that even for his own strength that it was a hard fight showing how strong the Tank really is. But he had an injury in his stomach so that was a handicap and it was reopened. He put his hand over it as he felt it started to heal, another attribute gained from the nanotrites. But he felt that he was getting rusty as, even with his injury, he should have been able to easily take it out easily.

'' I need to train a lot more harder for now on and do a few blood transfers.'' Tech muttered as he heard gunfire and looked over to the source and saw Gale finishing off his enemy and saw that the Tank that was on him was dead and that he shot it. He saw that his drill was detached.

Techlin limped over to him as he thought of the plan he thought before this mess. After Gale told them of the blood that Jon gave them his blood he got this idea that he put back in his head til now. He thought 'why not just try it with the others' but he didn't know who to try it on. He thought of a few suggestions like Rolf and Kevin but thought they wouldn't be the best til he tried it later. Then he thought of four people. Dante, Ed, Edd and Eddy. The four seemed like the perfect choice to him and if that proved well then Rolf and Kevin would be next. Tech thoughts was interrupted by the grunts of pain from Gale as he got out his suit clutching his stomach in pain. Techlin came and helped him up.

'' You alright?'' Techlin asked.

'' Yeah, I just need to be patched up.'' Gale said as he and Tech sat down and leaned against the wall behind them. Gale's suit was next to them still standing with sparks coming off the arm still.

'' Sir! This is Lucas We located your daughter and the boy she was with and they were in your building hours of Seven Minutes in Heaven in your office! HAHAHA!'' Lucas' laughter filled the air and Techlin laughed but stopped when he felt pain and Gale groaned knowing the ones watching his daughter must have lost them in the chaos and found them there.

'' Sir! We have cleared the East Gate and the enemies are either dieing, being retrieved for enemy info and the such, or is being killed off! We won over here! All thanks to me.'' Jack's voice said coming up next.

'' What you say fucker? I helped!'' Techlin easily recognized his short's friends voice.

'' A little.'' Jack replied to him.

'' I did the other turret! If you didn't had me this would have gone on longer than this!'' Eddy argued.

They continued to fight and Gale and Techlin shook their heads knowing their short tempered friends would go one for a while. Luckily another transmission came in.

'' Sir we got control of the West Gate back. Enemy is being killed off or coming in as prisoners. I must say that this Eddward kid, or Double D as they call him, has a good strategic mind. We might not have won without him and his friends.'' Halst voice came next as they also heard cheering in the back round.

'' Sir we defeated the enemy in this section. Kevin helped gladly in the turrets and was a good asset. Where exactly did you get this kids?'' Charlion transmission came next telling them that they won.

'' Fick is here sir and we got the enemy down for the count! I don't know where you are but we got them running with their tails between their legs! I got reports from all over the city that enemy humans and zombies are dropping dead by our men! Isn't this great?'' Fick's voice called out to him and knew that a party will start anytime soon.

Gale felt something land on his cheek and looked up seeing that more feel on his face. Tech noticed too and felt the liquid drop on him. More came down and soon it became clear that it was raining. Despite their injuries and the chance of them getting sick they both broke out in laughter as it rained harder on them and the city. They won! They actually won!

'' Fuck yes!'' Gale shouted to the heavens as he slug his arm around Tech as they got up still smiling.

'' Man! Does victory feels good!'' Techlin said as he smiled at his new friend.

'' You can say that again!'' Gale fully agreed. The rain started to slowly put down the fire all over the city and it helped with cleaning the blood a little.

The two leaders walked off and away from the suit as they still heard reports of good news from the city.

With Eddy and Jack.

Jack and Eddy was already done fighting as they ran back down the stairs. They decided to settle their debate later, but now Eddy's only worry was his lover he left down stairs in the care of the doctor. When he entered the bottom he quickly went through the door and saw that Lin was still with Lee.

'' How is she?'' Eddy asked not caring of Jack who he closed the door on.

'' Shes fine. She woke up a few minutes ago, but she went back to sleep. Her injuries would heal over time but I say to keep her head on am ice pack for a couple of days and she should be fine.'' Lin explained.

Eddy moved closer and saw that her head was bandaged just over her eyes.'' The bruise she received would go away after a week or two and she'll recover with no brain damage at all.'' Lin said to Eddy.

'' Good.'' Eddy said as he stood there staring at her. Lin moved to the door and pressed the button on the Blocker as it removed from the wall leaving the marks on the wall around the door.

'' Come on and get your girlfriend so we could go to a hospital.'' Jack said patting Eddy's shoulder and the boy gave a small nod. He picked her up bridal style off the table and Lee snuggled into his chest as they walked out the door with Jack closing it. It was raining. Lin was already on the back of Eddy's vehicle and Jack followed. Eddy sat Lee down on the passenger's seat gently and put on her seat belt and went into the driver's seat and turned on the Buggy and rode down the blood and wet covered road as the rain continued to fall.

With Edd and the Others

Double D exited out of the small room and into the outside raining world. The others came out and despite it raining they saw Bets celebrating on the streets with each other and they saw the W.M at the entrance. They all soon ran over to the giant vehicle as to see the rest and to get out the rain.

As they went by they saw that enemies that were alive were being guided to somewhere by some of the Bets not celebrating. More likely a prison or some holding facility they thought. When they reached the W.M they opened the back door and entered. They were soak in rain and the sound of the rain hitting the W.M filled the air right next to the cheering from outside and inside. The ones inside were the ones in Double D's group and they seem to be enjoying themselves as they danced and cheered with

'' Come on Double D lets celebrate!'' Marie came and brung her man to the dance floor and with May doing the same with her boyfriend. Halst laughed a little at the poor dancing boys though Ed seemed to have too much fun to care.

With Nazz and Sarah.

Despite being happy that the fights were over, the two girls still needed to take care of the wounded still here. After the little event on the roof they been helping with keeping blood going in the bodies, try to stop the bleeding, bandaging and talking to the patients. It was a bittersweet joy as they were able to save many but the ones that were too injured couldn't.

'' This whole thing is a bittersweet victory.'' A voice said behind Nazz. Nazz turned around from the window in her seat to see Callab with a knowing, but sad, smirk on her face. They were in the Help's Quarters, one of the few rooms left for the doctors to rest after dealing with patients. It was a few chairs, a vendor for coffee, and a fridge with food and a microwave on the side of it on a small table.

'' How you know what I was thinking?'' Nazz asked the man.

'' Its on everybody thoughts after a battle, do you think this uniform is just for show.'' Callab said sitting down in a seat across from her.

'' Well at least its over...for now that is.'' Nazz thought having a feeling that something like this might happen in the near future.

'' Hey don't get down. Sure their may be more but lets at least celebrate this victory til the next.'' Callab said and Nazz only nodded and turned to the other side of the room. There in a chair sat Sarah who was sleeping with a small blanket over her. She was out of it once they reached here and fell asleep in the nearest chair.

A thought came to her as she looked a little more down. Now that this was over they had to tell the others of Jimmy's death. She turned back to the window and the sound of the rain falling on the window and the outside. She saw the others stopping in front of the building and was glad to slightly see a familiar red cap.

A Day Later 12:30 P.M Graveyard

The group, now back together, stood in the mass of people all wearing black as they saw their loved ones being buried in the ground. The others were told of Jimmy's death and how he died but they didn't know what to do. Sure some of them cried a little, but besides that they felt little sadness. They thought they would feel sad more, but they weren't. Maybe it was because they already experienced the lost of a friend? Or that they didn't want to feel anything? Or it could be that they saw so much death in one day?

Lee was fine and recovered enough for her to be able to walk around for a few minutes before she gained a slight headache where Eddy made sure to carry her back to her hospital bed. Techlin and Gale were fine and fixed up though they both now had bandages around their entire torso as the Tanks also broke a few bones. But they'll heal. All the others only had minor or very minor injuries which didn't need medical attention.

Dante sighed as he looked up to the cloudy sky and saw that it might rain again like yesterday. Construction had already began on the places in the city that was damaged and that they would just put guards at the Gates til they could put up new ones. Many people were left homeless but Gale made sure hotels was open and free for them til their homes was fixed. Some slept in tents and he heard from hacking into the communications that some are even about to set out to somewhere else like one of the three strongholds. Where it was more safe.

Eddy looked around him and saw that people were leaving probably having seen their loved ones buried and decided to leave it as that. Many were gone in ten minutes and soon it was more room for him and his friends to have some more room. Gale made a speech on the TVs and radios explaining the attack, who was behind it and a possible reason why, and the casualties they suffered. Gale said that bodies were still being counted, but gave a number. The population before the attack was three-thousand five-hundred twenty-three. The new population is now three-thousand three-hundred ninety-four and was still going down.

They all couldn't believe so many people were lost in this attack, but they should have figured as it was a big battle all over the city and many were unprepared even after Gale tried to get order. More people left some still crying at the lost of their family and friends. Now it was just the Group and Gale and his daughter who stood looking at a single tombstone with flowers and pictures on it. The group moved closer as to see who he was looking at and saw that it was his wife. It read:

Here Lies Sophia Casandra Cole

Loving Wife, Mother, Family and Friend

1981-2013

'' You know,'' Gale began drawing the attention of the others.'' I always thought that I could keep everyone safe and later in the years I knew I was wrong. But to not be able to save someone close to your heart and know that you had no part in it whatsoever. You just feel that even though it wasn't you who cause it, but that it was all your fault.'' Gale finished leaving the others to think.

'' Don't worry dad it'll be alright.'' Sally said looking at her dad and saw the tears streaming down his face.

'' I know, I know.'' Gale said as he whipped his eyes with his sleeve.

'' See you guys later, we have to go.'' Sally said with her and her father taking their leave.

Now the group was left in deep thought as they walked over the graves and came to a stop to one grave. It was Jimmy's. It read:

Here Lies Jimmy Rowland

Loving Family and Friend.

2001-2013

They put down their gift which was a bouquet of multiple colored tulips. Sarah came and put down a picture of her and him as they played with their dollies in her backyard. They stood smiling ear to ear and holding each others hand with their dollies. Ed was happy to take that picture. They all sat there thinking of their young friend they lost and one by one they left and soon the grave was the only thing that was alone.

What the group didn't notice was a palm size piece of Jimmy's suit stained with a few spots of blood on it and sticking out of the dirt and the wind blew strong as the piece came out the ground the wind carrying it.

The cloth flew over the heads of the group as they entered their vehicle going in the city to inform Gale of their departure. The cloth flew over the trees and over the buildings. It flew over the wall into the sky where it just followed the wind or was the wind following it? After a few minutes the cloth started to descend to a very familiar city below. It came across what seems to be a police station with a giant hole inside and with the new breed roaming around and then went down into the center of the city pass a small shopping area.

It went up in the air and a minute later it came back down to what may have been a mall and on top was a body with a white shirt on and had some glass sticking out of the big head with many zombies around what was left and it continued til a house that looked heavily defended came into view without a single living or dead thing around it. The wind died down and the cloth fell on the doorsteps of the house and next to a small piece of wood that was missing one crayon drawn eye and had on a faint blue crayon smile drawn on it.

It seems that two kept their promise.

Back with the Group. Gale's Office 12:47 P.M

'' I must thank you and your friends a lot for the help with the fight. Without your support the battle would have gone on longer than it should and many more would have died.'' Gale said out his funeral clothes and into his normal uniform.

'' No problem. Though we suffered a lost as well. But we're here to tell you that we must take our leave from here.'' Techlin said surprising Gale.

'' Hmm well I am surprised a little, but if that's your choice then that is your choice. But if you ever need anything than you just give a call.'' Gale said.

'' Thank you, we also restocked our supplies and payed fully as a way to cover for a little damage.'' Double D added.

'' Every penny counts.'' Gale said shushing them off as they all said goodbye and left the room. Gale leaned back and sighed as he looked out the window at him city and despite some not looking good, the city was still a beautiful sight.

'' You know you can still catch them if you want.'' Gale said to no one til a familiar voice said something.

'' What does that suppose to mean sir.'' Gils said appearing behind him.

''Please the looks you were giving that Dante was giving it away too easy.'' Gale said turning around to look at her.

'' Was it that obvious?'' Gils asked with a blush underneath her mask.

'' Yes, like a book cover two inches in front of me.'' Gale said.'' You bore me, your fired!'' Gale suddenly say pointing to the door.

'' Wha-what?'' The woman stuttered surprised by the outburst.

'' You heard me turn in your uniform and get out. In fact go to New Chicago with Jon or something.'' Gale said sitting back down reading the paperwork on his desk.

When he mentioned Jon she got the idea of what he was doing.'' Fine then! I never liked this job anyway!'' Gils said as she through her mask on the group and took off her suit showing her black shirt with a purple star on the chest and dark brown pants with brown running shoes. Her skin was a light tan.

She then ran out leaving her weapons at the door as she went to pack. She had a future lover to catch up to.

With the Group.

The group was in their vehicles, all fixed up and payed for thanks to Degante who put it under a pay later file. Plus restocked with supplies. The convoy approached the North Gate where a highway further north would take them to New Chicago if they followed the path and have no complications. They saw the Guards let them pass already knowing who was riding them having been informed from the boss. Some soldiers waved to them and they waved back as they left the Gate and onto the open road again.

Unaware that someone would be joining them soon.

Chapter Finally Fucking Done!

Now to say that this took a while was just understatement. I never worked on something with so much action and sadness. The part with Jimmy's cloth was inspired from reading a plot outline of a Naruto Manga I read and the episode I watched. Some of you fans might know and I won't get that out in the air as I want you to see if you can find it.

Well I have to say that the next chapter will hold some surprises and a timeskip just to get your imagination working.

Speaking of it here it is.

Chapter 12: City Life Arc: Welcome to New Chicago and Joining & Powering Up!
