Dark Harvest Chapter 2
Maria walked as quickly as she could to the elevator and smashed the button. The old decayed elevator heaved and groaned as it ascended the decaying factory. As Maria and Ammon went outside, they screamed as a massive alien like creature peered into the factory. A jet flew past them as the creature chased after it. Ammon spotted a pool of blood dripping from the ceiling. Something dropped from the top of the building as Maria freaked out.
"Ammon...behind you" Maria squeaked, her eyes filled with terror, pointing behind him. Ammon froze as something squishy bumped into him. It felt like rotted flesh. Something slimy hit him in the face and Ammon turned around. He screamed as it impaled him in the shoulder, tore outwards and Ammon fell to the ground as his arm fell out of its socket. Blood flew from the wound and Maria dragged him away.
"Someone help us, for the love of God, someone help!"
"GET DOWN!" cried a nearby soldier. Raising his gun, he sent a volley into the creature's stomach. When it refused to die, he ran up to it and stabbed it in the head. Maria watched in shock as the creature began to convulse and regenerate, as the poor soldier was ripped to shreds.
"This is Sergeant Jones, We have a breach. I repeat, we have nec-"
He didn't get to finish. The razor sharp claws of the creature ripped him in two, sending his equal halves into the water, leaving a bloody trail of organs.
"Run Ammon!" cried Maria as the both of them fled to a nearby building. It was exactly five meters thick and twelve meters tall. Regardless, it had aged horribly and was about to fall over.
Ammon immediately tried to get into contact with the Military.
"This is Kadic student Ammon calling any military forces in the area. We are under siege, coordinates to follow. We are located near the factory. Coordinates 8-9-5-3. Please, we're nearly out of places to hide. They're coming for us!"
The creatures smashed themselves against the wall again and again as the door splintered and broke bit by bit. Just as the creatures were about to break in, the kids heard something huge.
"That's not a plane, it's some form of lander" said Ammon. Droids poured out and began to do battle with the necromorph hordes. As the kids ran from the battle, they hid in an alcove. The lasers sliced through flesh and removed bone but more and more creatures rose up from the dead bodies to swarm the droids.
"Gunners this is Droid Commander T517 requesting bombardment over sector Three Sierra Victor 4-7. Target is reinforced concrete, request high explosive rounds, area has two civilians in the area, grid reference 5-1-3-7-7-2-1 sierra over?"
"we read you, carrying payload, two HE's and one nuclear, paint target over?"
Ammon and Maria hauled ass to the factory as bombers moved in to flatten the hordes. The droids advanced into the city where the fighting grew fierce. Eventually AAT's and MTT's were called in to provide support for the droids on the ground.
"TOT 5 seconds, God speed gents..wait, there are kids? ABORT! It's too late, shit!"
"Turn away Maria!" Ammon yelled just before a blinding flash impacted the area. Ammon was lucky enough to be inside the elevator but Maria was rendered blind and was now radioactive, having turned a second too late. She could see nothing but blackness.
"No...this can't be happening! Ammon? What's happening? Why can't I see, WHY CAN'T I SEE!?" she cried, stumbling blindly around the room, hoping to touch something to give her direction. She was led into the elevator and they virtualized themselves on Lyoko.
Maria could barely get into the scanner, she was starting to vomit blood from the ordeal. She had absorbed the bulk of the radiation. As the scanners closed for the last time, bombs flattened the factory for good. There would be no coming back from this. Home was now a memory.
