"Well shit..."

SHReaAEaeAAK

Look out its charging!" Thomas and Matt jumped out of the way of the charging husk just in time as it rammed into the far wall. Causing some pots and pans to be knocked over in the process. Wait! Thats it! Thomas reach up on the counter to grab and old cast iron skillet just in time for the husk to recover and charge. He saw Matt do the same as well. Thomas stood p and waited for the husk to be in swinging distance then- WHAM! The husk recoiled back and into the range of Matt and again, another smack from a skillet. They didn't even see that James had gotten up and gotten his own skillet. So in about 10 seconds they were bashing in the skull of the husk back and forth and back and forth. Then when it finally fell to the ground Thomas kicked the back if its head which caused it to crack even more, then Matt finished it off with one downward swing of the cast iron skillet and sent its skull (and i guess what would count as a brain) every where.
"he..he...So ahhh...where do you think this came from...and what is it." Asked a rather tired Thomas to no one in particular.

"I don't know but it looks familiar...but i can't quite place it." Said James. "It looks like a-"

"A husk from mass effect..." Said Matt. That was actually the one time Matt spoke...he rarely ever does...always the quite one. He also is pretty popular...don't know why. maybe because he's emmysterious/em or some shit like that.

"Yeah but why is it here... on a military base...?".

"I don't know but from what we saw when we entered the main building... we might be the only ones alive...We gotta get outta here." Spoke James. "Yeah... but first I'm gonna go into the dorms and change into some civvies em{Military slang for civilian clothes}.

I don't wanna walk around in ACU's smelling like motor oil and blood."."Yeah lets go."

"So Thom." Matt was the first to break the awkward silence that fell on them. "Yeah? What is it?"."What are we doing?". The question that Matt asked wasn't odd or anything but it took a while to respond. Just for the simple fact he was wondering the same thing himself. "Well...well take the jeep and head into Denver...I have no idea what happened here but the radios are gone and so are any signs of life...We'll go to the apartment we all share and hopefully find Austin and Danny...then we can find any military and see what the fucks going on." Matt, as usual didn't say any thing, just pursed is lips in an 'ahh, okay' kinda manner.

"Thomas right now was wearing a new pair white cargo pants and a black t shirt with a black thin pullover hoodie with white strings and a pair of converse sneakers. Matt wore black cargo pants sneakers and a hoodie and T. James wore pretty much the same. They all had a holster on their legs and ammo.

"Alright.. not that we have some ammo and new clothes lets go take the jeep and get the guys." Thomas had gotten the keys and lanyard from the drawer on his desk and walked out to the parking lot. Thomas took driver while Matt took shot gun and James got in the back. They drove around base to make sure there was nobody there and, alas, found no one, every body was gone, "geez...what do you think happened to them..? I mean we got hear not even for an hour and they're all gone...". Thomas didn't respond to James because he didn't have an answer. all he knew was that he had to get to the apartment in time to get Austin and Danny before its too late... He knows Danny won't do well under pressure and when Austin is left alone weeeelll...lets just say that the last time that happened he put a drunken idiot at a bar in I.C.U for a while...i mean the guy had it coming but still...he's ALOT stronger than he looks.

Geez...this day was getting worse by the minute..first a terrorist attack then the fucking HUSKS and now no ones in sight... I HAVE to get to the apartment.

When Thomas stopped in front of the door to the apartment he shuddered...The two double sliding doors were cracked or broken...and there was a trail of blood...But no body... Thomas parked the car on the side walk and exited the vehicle... fallowed my Matt and James, all pistols drawn and flashlights. Thomas took lead and, with the help of Matt pulled the doors apart and went into the building.

"I wonder what caused the power to go out..."James said aloud.

"I don't know but we got to find the guys... Since the power was out they had to take the stairs. On a twenty fucking floor apartment...god fucking dammit...and were on the top floor...FUCK!

Thomas went past the main lobby and past the elevators and into the stairs. emHopefully i don't have a heart attack and they're still up in the room...come one guys be alive. And so Thomas started the long climb up to the top floor with The guys.

At around the 16th floor the ran into two more husk and since they were tired they just said fuck it and pushed them over the edge and to the basement below.

"Fucking...Fucking shit..."

Thomas said as he continued the way up the stairs and onto the 20th floor. He, Matt and James were stacked up on the door and opened it slowly...once he was able to see inside he swept over with his pistol. He decided it was clear and he exited the stairwell.

Room 2498..Room 2498...Ro- Ah! Here we go!

He got his lanyard and interred the key into the hole and opened it...

"GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE YOU PIECE OF SHIT! AAGGGHHHHHHH- oh...hey Thomas and Matt...and...James...".

"H-h-hey Austin...thats um..a mighty fine piece of...desk... you got there...mind putting it down 'fore me?".

"Yeah let me just put that down..."

The whole scene was as comical as it could get. Austin had gotten Thomas on the floor in front of the door and was standing over him with the top of the desk. He threw the thing to the side and helped Thomas up when Matt and James had gotten in the room. Austin was at least the height of Thomas if not higher.. and Thomas was 6'4.

He was White with muscles and had blonde short buzz cut and a little stubble form his days of leave."Were is Danny?"

"Hiding in the bathroom. Said he wouldn't come out until he knew it was safe from me...rude."

Austin scoffed as if offended and went to the bathroom door. "DANNY! Tommys here so you can come out now man!".

"NO! I know your lying! Go away!".

"Danny its okay you can come out."

Thom heard the door unlock and a small figure come out slowly. To say the least that Danny wasn't scared would be an understatement. And he had every right to. Danny was always the smallest, most frightened, and shyest person in the group. Standing at a little over 5'4, Danny was dressed in jeans, socks, and a hoodie and tan white skin, short spiky Dark brown hair and some stubble. When Danny was a kid his father always beat him and his mother would always neglect him. He had to grow up and learn how to cook for himself, and every thing else at the age of 7. In what little down time he had he would play games at Thomas' and take apart and fix anything he could find. When Thomas was 15 Danny was eight. So right know he's 20. Thomas didn't care about the age difference at all. He was there as well so he understood. When Thomas introduced him to Matt and Austin they would always go out of their way to help him. They didn't mind but Danny always felt bad.

In a shaky voice Danny replied"H-h-h-hey Thom...is every body here? Whats going on? What should we do?"

Thomas just smiled Danny hadn't even looked up and was asking every question possible...

"Its good to see your unfazed Dan. And yeah every ones here man." Thomas noticed a smirk spread across his face at the joke he said. At that time Matt and James came up and Matt had put a hand on his back. This was time Danny looked up to reveal soft blue eyes.

Austin had Grey/blue, James had brown, Matt had green, an Thomas had Dark blue eyes

."Hows it going little buddy? You okay?"."Austin didn't take his meds again..."."HEY! you little ass!"

"Hey! Enough now i don't know about you guys but I'm hungry as shit i'ma go get the left over little caesars." Thomas said as he made his way to the refrigerator. Thomas is to pizza like crack is to a crackhead...He'll live off that shit. "Thank god the power hasn't been out for a long time" mumbled Thomas

Meanwhile in at the bottom of the stair well.

Pain...pain everywhere...

One of the husk that Thomas had pushed over landed on the over and relatively cushioned the blow. But the lower half was gone. it crawled to the door and opened it. it then proceeded to find its brothers...once it did it told them that the Destroyers were on the top floor...and that they were together... One of the husk went and got more husk and Geth...until at least 100 were at the ground floor...

'GO! THEY MUST NOT BE UNITED! THEY WILL DESTROY ALL THAT HARBINGER HAS CREATED! THEY MUSN'T LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE!' /The husk spoke...Multiple husk screeched and ran up the stairwell while trampling over the severed one beneath their feet. He was useless now...he served his purpose.

"Thomas sat their in the dark apartment after eating and looked around. And it was storming great...just great oh look lightning...just perfect... Thomas scoffed. The apartment was rather large. it was a luxury apartment and since all five of them were paying for it with the money they got from the government they could afford it. There were six room in total. One master which Thomas got after a Row Sham Bow (Rock paper scissors) match against them. It had its own bathroom and everything. The rest of the rooms were big enough but didn't have their own bathrooms they had to use the one in the hall but they had their own gaming stations to so. They hallway consisted of all six rooms and the bathroom. The extra room was the washing/drying/gaming room since they didn't want to share the building one with god knows how many other people. their was the kitchen and living room right next to the door with the kitchen having a little wall and 90 degree angle corner with three pillars on either entrance and the middle of the corner. It also served as the dining room. The living room also had a wall that stretched from wall to wall but with two entrances and a step into it with a L shaped couch and big ass flat screen.

"Hey Thomas we need-"

BANG!

Matt stopped what he was saying and he and Thomas look to the door.

BANG!

Thomas just looked at the door. They're trying to get in!

Thomas Matt ran for the rooms when the others came out.

"WHAT WAS THAT!".Yelled Austin.

"THEYRE TRYING TO GET IN!"

"What are we going to do!?"

"Into the Room!" They all ran into the room with every body grabbing their shoes in hand. After every one was in Thomas closed and locked the door and blocked it with the help of Austin with the washing and drying machines. By the sound the the door breaking they got into the apartment. T

he lightning storm really was picking up by now it was hitting the roof of the building. "No one speak! maybe they don't know were in he- BANG!- Never mind!"Yelled Thomas.

They all saw the Geth on the other side of the door and their hearts stopped. 'WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?'They all thought.

When the Geth had broken down the wooden door and were in the process of moving the washer and dryer out of the way another lightning stuck the roofs antenna which caused the lights in the room to flicker along with the computers, xboxes and playstations. This kept happening until the computer and monitor facing the windows lit up and broadcasted a blue light into the room! "OKAY! What the fuck is going on-!"

before any one had a chance to react or reply their vision was obstructed with blue light and then darkness.

"Are We Dead?"
