Derek stood at the admittance gate to military recruitment office as the report of the return of the U.E.S Destiny. "Attention! Attention! U.E.S. Destiny has returned to the docking ports! Reports of a new species has been reported. This ship will open in up in six hours!" Derek looked at the old speaker system and cursed under his breath because that news meant that the recruitment offices would be closed. 'Damn.'

Dante leaned back in his chair. The office had been rather quiet lately, and he was starting to get worried. Bills didn't pay themselves... But nonetheless, he knew that with the recent news of possible species being discovered, he'd soon be getting paid to infiltrate some military complex and retrieve the data. He sighed, opening a bottle of vodka. "Day in and day out, it's never any different... Oh well..."

Damien was chained to a post next to darek " ya gonna let me out yet pal" he said smiling and knowing what was comeing "i could help"

Derek looked at the man and laughed. "I'm not authorized to do anything and why are you chained to this post? I though everyone would be at the landing station to figure out what they found." Even though he didn't think he should he found his small knife and cracked the lock.

"thank you" he said "how about i just follow you for a while" he said smiling

"I guess just don't try anything." Derek started to walk towards his truck. "It's a good two hour drive to the docking ports." He started up the truck, waiting for the man to get it in. "By the way, my names Derek."

Damien smiled "mines Damien and dont worry ill be a good boy" he followed him

Starting up the truck he made his way onto the street and towards the Docking Port of the town.

"are you sure you want to go this way" he said in a concered voice he the smiled taking in the scenary

"Yeah, if it has anything to do with the military then I'm there. Wait... do you know anything about the ship? Like how many soldiers are on it and stuff like that?" He kept his eyes on the road.

Aubrey's voice trailed out over the soldier's heads, and echoed across the halls.
"Get a move on! I mean, honestly, these guys have been gone months, and you Yellowbellies are walking around like your at a funeral!" Aubrey had no idea what was on that ship, and what on odd choice of words to use. Aubrey shook his head, and jumped down on the large box he was using to shout at them all. Slowly, he walked towards the gate, keeping a finger on his trigger, but not shouldering his rifle. A small group of civilians, about five or six, gathered at the entrance.
"Well... Apparently this things bigger than we thought it would be." Aubre sighed, and looked at the watch on his wrist. Five more hours, and they'd know what this supposed 'new' species was. They'd probably be screwed over... I mean, jeez, it came from space; Aubrey thought, and flipped his rifle around on the shoulder string, so it dangled on his back.
"Sergeant," Aubrey called, running up and saluting sharply. "Can I go get a drink, sir? To calm my nerves." The Sergeant looked Aubrey up and down, and then nodded firmly.
"Go ahead, son. Be back by the time we open this hunk-a-junk up, and don't get plastered." The Sergeant warned, and Aubrey laughed, nodded, and headed back for the entrance, walking straight through the crowd and heading for the bar.

Blaring in his ears, hearing car after car pass by as he slept on the cold concrete. Cautiously he regained conscious and stood to his feet. Rubbing the dirt out from his eyes. " Eh, that guy was nice " Eric laughed while still stumbling. Reminiscing about the night earlier taking a ride from a complete stranger he met in a bar." Woo I'm just glad the dude let me live" He said smileling.

Eric began walking down the main road. He was never great at hitchhiking but he had a technique that always had a 50/50 % chance of working. Eric had seen a Truck in the distance with two men inside(Derek,Damien). He got ready for a risky move and as soon as the truck came close but close enough to stop from free will Eric leaped in the road in front of the truck. Eric Closed his eyes and waved his hands
"STOP!!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. Not have open his eyes yet he waited for the men to reply.

Thomas and his small gang were right outside the bank. Greg was waiting in the getaway hovercar. Thomas held three fingers up...two...one.
They busted in the door swarming through. Thomas held his pistol to the tellers head and said "You know the drill" The teller gasped and bent down grabbing some things. He came back up sweating with a boatload of money. Thomas stuffed it in to his bag, then looked at the man's face. Thomas saw true fear. How had they gotten this way. Going from average, if not exceptional students to low-life thugs. NO! that kind of thinking would get him killed. Besides he needed the money. He couldn't look at the tellers face though. He turned and said "Let's go!"
Suddenly, the glass roof was broken and one of the hybrid zombie things landed right behind the teller and pounced on him. More zombies followed it. Thomas was stunned. One of them growled at him. It approached and it's tentacled mouth slithered inches before his face, then there was a gunshot and it's head burst open. He looked behind him and saw one of his gangmembers beaming. They all took positions and started killing the beasts. When they were done, Thomas went back home.

Derek exited the vehicle and moved himself as close to the Military police station as he could. He envied what a certain group od soldiers was going to get to do. They were actually going to make first contact with the crew and the new species. Maybe even months before anyone else.

(MEANIE! T_T )

Aubrey arrived at a small bar, just off the scene of Highway lights, and bustling buisnesses. It wasn't well known, thus everyone who went to it knew each other. Aubrey walked in, giving a wave, and a nod to everyone who acknowledged his presence. Most of the visitors, however, chose this place because of it's seclusion, and didn't like a Military rat sneaking around inside. But the barkeep, and some of the regulars trusted him, so he came here alot, shrugging off most of the illegal activities that occured there.
"Absinthe, please. Follow 'em up with Sunset Martinis, and keep 'em comin'." Aubrey said, finally letting his accent lose. His recruiting officer told him to hide it, seeing as how some of the military frowned on non-US operatives. Aubrey stirred up his drink, downed it in a gulp, and took on the martini, letting himself relax.

Derek had arrived at a seat and decided instead of sitting in the far back he would try to get into the military tent hence why he came in the first place. Casually strolling in a man in uniform looked at him and smiled. "Well boy looks like you get to see me in action today." Derek smiled and let out a chuckle. "Seems risky to me Dad."

Eric opened his eyes, to his surprise the truck swerved out of the way and missed him by a hair. He started off in the same direction as before. After awhile of walking he stumbled up to what appeared to be some kind of police station. He quietly roamed around the area scoping out the place. " Huh.. Wonder what all the commotions about" He whispered to him self. He had seen the men that appeared to be soldiers. In Fear that he would be caught and maybe even jailed because of being on a government station he tried to stay out of everyones way, so as not to be detected.

(First off sorry for correcting you here, brought up by marines couldn't help but correct your error. Marines are told never to put their finger on the trigger until they fire, so if they're spooked they don't gun down a friendly.Once again sorry for correcting you, hate to do it, just can't help it)
Silverin walked into the nearby locker room, where a bunch of the other human soldiers were talking about the ship. He kept his distance, seeing as him and the rest of the platoon didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things, but he stayed in hearing distance.
"Yeah, they're being over cautious, those stupid ****heads on the ship probably just fell out the damn ship, they're probably dead floating out in ****in' space." The Private said.
"Well, whatever the hell it is they're making it out to be a lot worse than it is, worse thing they're gonna find in there is a dead body." The Captain said.
Silverin opened up his locker and got out some essentials, then slammed it shut. He regretted slamming it the moment after, seeing as he'd drawn the attention of a Private, a Captain, and another Lance Corporal. The Captain laughed and gave Silverin a stern look, Silverin was of one of the more recent species that had come to earth and no one in his platoon or any others liked him. The three got closer, and were ready to knock the hell out of him, but Silverin got lucky and the Master Gunnery Sergeant came in, best of all he hated the captain.
"Jesus H. Christ! You little ****ers playin' dress up in here!" He yelled out, each word sending spit into Silverin's face. "Get your asses outta here! We're about to get word on that ship and I want all you worthless, disgraceful, piece of shit Marines in there!"
They did as told, and the Gunny held the Captain back. Silverin left and soon arrived at a small bar, he'd heard of from a staff sergeant. (KOTOR...obviously)

((Outbreak will occur in five or six posts.))

Derek looked at his watch. "One hour till they go in and do their thing." Derek's father looked at him and sighed. "I wish you could go in with me.. well how about i bring pictures of everything onboard?" Derek laughed. "If you can pull that off then you would be bumped from my role model to my god."

Laying flat on his back under a cargo truck Eric heard the supposed Father and Son Speaking. "Damn, I wonder what they mean by that. Where the heck could he be going.?" He still just stayed on his back listening to the two men speak. " Take pictures of what. They goin to space or something?" He began rolling under the truck to get a better spot. He saw a opening that was perfect, Eric started slideing over but on his way there he cut his hand on a broken bottle while crawling " Oh ******!" He cried out foolishly as blood ran down his hand. "Crap I hope no one heard that"

Derek's father breathed in deep and aimed his weapon at the lower area of the truck. "Get out from under there before I decide to shoot you anyway." Derek just laughed as he realized someone tried to sneak onto a public viewing of a space lander.. or maybe he was trying to get onboard. "Let him go Dad he won't hurt anything."

Eric Freaked out as the man aimed his weapon. " Yo man I don't know whats goin on. Ive been knocked out for like 24 Hours." He said while he slid out and revealed him self, As if that was his Cocky excuse. He got on both of his legs and held his bleeding hand. "Could you guys tell me whats going on?"

Derek's father let out a loud laugh. "They found a new species in the universe and they are showing us what they found." Derek chimed in afterwards. "Yeah and they are sending in a hazmat in case the creature is hostile."

Before more detail on the operation could be given a loud boom came over the speakers and a deep scratchy voice started to speak. "This Col. Avery Johnson, all hazmat and registered marine units report to your stations on the double." The speakers cut off and Derek's father grabbed his weapon and ran to his postion without even as much as a goodbye.

Eric ripped some cloth off of his pant legs. "Oh I guess that makes sense, I feel pretty dumb" Eric began laughing," I thought this was some kind of Government meeting. I was afraid you guys would skin me if I was cought"Still laughing. "Any ways my names Eri....." He could not get out his full name, The boom over the speakers was to loud and it sounded as if men were panicking. " Excuse me sir, But is this normal?"

He could not get out his full name, The boom over the speakers was to loud and it sounded as if men were panicking. " Excuse me sir, But is this normal?"

Derek laughed. "yes it's normal, we are going to open the ship soon." He glanced at the ship. "I hope it's safe in there for all of them, of course all the early reports show that the new creature is not hostile."

Damien dropped from the ceiling(or roof depending on if there outside couldnt keep up) "hey..." he then looked at derek "are you going to meet the 'friendly' aliens" he said smirking "im going to enjoy watching the fun" he then turned around "just remember the movies might be right"

"Nope just my dad and his team will be going inside to escort the new specimens out. We won't even ba able to see them for a few weeks until the studies are done." Derek look over at the ship and how earily quiet the ship seemed from such a distance. "You'd then the crew would have been ready by now, but with Deontanination and all..."

"...your dad might not come back" he started to walk away "ill be back i have unfinished business with a 'un-earthly man'"

"Yeah.. there is no way my dad could a foot tall four legged creature." He laughed out loud before he realized that he just revealed top secret information about the creatures.

Damien looked at him "And you think thats news to me...." he said smirking he then turned around and walked away "if it gets to hot to handle find the devil himself"

After the noise on the speaker sent a chill down his spine Eric regained his composure and extended his right hand to Derek. " Well thanks, my name is Eric..Eric Hatheway. But you can call me Eric or kid or pretty much anything." He began laughing. " Well." Eric said as he placed his hand on Derek's shoulder, to be friendly but not creepy. "I'm Sure that your father will be fine" He looked at Derek once more and gave him a quick grin.

Derek turned around and started to search the database for the man that just walked away. "The only way he could know about any of this would mean he intercepted the early transmissions... or he was on the ship." He clicked a small communication system. "There is an unknown target moving through the base.. he seems to know about the project.." He then looked up at Eric. "Nice to meet you mr. Hatheway, my name is Derek."

damien wispered to himself "...humans..." he started walking again "i hope i dont have trouble"

Eric became confused fast. "So what, that stuff you said was top secret?" He then gave Derek another quick once over. "So are you like a solider or something. Cause you would have some kind of authorization to get that kind of information." He said staring into Derek's eyes. "not that its any of my buisness. but, you guys are not worried about this launch right. Just an easy quick run?"

Damien then dissappiered from the place leaving no trace behind except in the mens memory and camera

"Launch? This is the landing, they left about four years ago. And no I am not military... yet." He looked at the E-mail that he had recieved from one of the crew. "I have a friend on that ship.. of course i haven't heard from his cause the communication systems are down."

Eric's eyes widened " Oh its not a launch..." He began itching his head. He started laughing again. "Sorry for all the questions, I'm a bit of a annoying pain I know. No one really enjoys my company I can go some where else if you want your privacy"

"Nah, you can stay here if you want. You'll keep the normal people away and tha tis perfectly fine by me." He let out a laugh because he knew that people did not like him very much either.

Floating... There was no ground, and he saw only the girl before him, her blond hair and amber eyes catching his eye before all else. He saw her extend a hand to him and reached his out toward her, waking just before their fingers met.

Dante opened his eyes, glancing at the clock. He had apparently passed out at his desk, as three hours had passed, his mind drifting to the dream he'd just had. He'd seen the girl in a dream before, but now he was growing rather agitated at the fact he never got any farther in it. He knew that if he met her, she'd be the one. He stood, shaking his head in an attempt to forget the dream for now, his phone ringing.

"Devil May Cry Private Investigating Services... Right... Sorry, we closed at nine." Another bum job. He was sick of tailing guys for their wives only to find out they weren't cheating on them, but going to night classes to better their dancing skills... Well, not all had ended that way, but still... He wasn't about to live another one. This time, he was looking to find the big score... the Jackpot...

Pulling on his red trench coat, he walked out to his car, throwing his sword and guns into the passenger seat beside him. He turned the key in the ignition and started the '67 Impala, peeling it out toward the bar downtown in hopes he might find some decent work there...

Damien just jumped off a roof and landed on dante's car feeling the metal crush underneath his feet he smiled at dante "long time"

Dante sheathed his sword and holstered his guns, getting out of his car. "I just had this thing detailed, Toishi... This had better be good." He smirked, knowing that Toishi was his biggest source for work. "You sorry son of a b*tch... You got any work for me?" He smiled a bit, having been joking when he stepped out acting as a threat to him.

Aubrey turned his head, when someone else walked in. He took another swig of his drink, and smiled.

"Hey there, Silver." Aubrey said, smiling. Normally, he'd speak in a more commanding tone, but outside of the base, he and Silver were just inter-species-friends. Aubrey could see a few people give Silver a stern, unwanting look, and a few murmmered to their neighbors. Aubrey knew, both here, and at the base, nobody really liked Silverin. Aubrey really didn't care, and besides, Silver just plain looked cool, plus he was nice. Aubrey waved him over to the seat next to him, and smiled.

"So, how's everything over there? I had to leave-" Before Aubrey finished, his Comm. boomed for all Marines to report to the base. Aubrey glanced at Silver, nodded, and darted for the door, out, and into the street lights again, moving at a slow jog.
Silverin took a quick swig of his beer, and threw down the money, thinking it unfortunate that he hadn't been able to finish it. He picked up his speed and he quickly caught up with Aubrey. The Military base was only a short distance from the bar, and Aubrey alongside Silverin soon arrived there.

Derek's father had made it up to his advanced unit and arrived at the door when the loud speaker came on again. "To all the soliders about to go inside the ship, we wish you the best of luck getting the crew and specimen out quickly, that is all." Shortly after, Advanced team's leader unsealed the door and went inside.

Derek just stared on. "Now we wait..."

The speaker blew back to life quickly. "All teams move into the ship when Advanced Team gives the all clear or hostiles on board signal."

"Wow this is pretty exciting" Eric let out as his eyes were glued to the scene holding his breath waiting for the moment. "This is like the stuff you see in movies....rad!"

An ear piercing alarm sounded and a loud speaker crackled to life immediately. "ALL TEAMS GET INTO DEFENSIVE POSITIONS IMMEDIATELY!!" Soliders all over rushed to positions as screams came in over portable radios. Gunfire sounded as a small portion of the advanced team came scrambling out of the ship as what seemed to be "enraged crew members followed with blunt weaponry such as wrenchs, hammers, and working equipment.

"What the-" But Aubrey couldn't finish. Some sort of squid-looking thing came flying through the air, right at Silver and Aubrey. Aubrey dived foward, pulling out his M16A2, and shooting three burst-shots at the thing. It landed short of him, and squirmed around. Aubrey shot it again, and then looked up, seeing more of the squid things, along with what looked to be the Crew of the ship, pouring out.

"Um... Silver, I think we should run." Aubrey wasn't one to run away from a battle, but the numbers of these things were to immense to stay behind and fight. Aubrey pulled out his attachable scope/flashlight, hooked it onto his gun, and then started to back away from the scene, firing on anything that got to close. The thought about using his SX3, but figured he should save it for later. Aubrey motioned for Silver to hurry, among all the screams of those who were falling. Aubrey tried to save some of them, but only managed to get three men away from the parasites.

"Run, you idiots!" Aubrey yelled, right before bumping into the Gunny Sgt.

"Boy, you'd better go back there and help those men. So help me I'll-" But the Sgt. got no further, as a member of the crew came up behind him, wailing on his head with a Monkey wrench. Aubrey acted quickly, hoping to save what was left of the Sgt. and pumped the crew member up full of lead. The thing had fallen, but it quickly got back up and tried to attack Aubrey, who shot it's head three times. It went down for good.

The Sgt., had the same fate. Aubrey sighed, crossed himself, and looked at Silver. He saw no emotion, but then again, Silver's eyes were really the only thing visible. Aubrey nodded firmly, got up, and shot a hail of bullets at the creatures, reloading afterwards.

Eric sat anxiously on the edge. Then the commotion began. " Hey Derek I know I asked you this before but is this stuff suppose to happen to man?" Eric looked at Derek with fear in his eyes. " I might be wrong but this looks a bit weird."

Before Eric could get a response from Derek his cellphone began ringing. "Hey I don't know. I might not." Eric replied. " Maybe later if I can get some time but I'm really swamped. I'm not gonna make our date sorry. Just call me later. Eric waited for Derek's Response from the Previous Question.

()(Don't advance too quickly, give eveyone a chance to group up))



Before he could respond to Eric, Derek had fallen out of his chair when a crew member had lunged at him from behind. It was holding a small shovel and looked as if it was ready to kill him. A shot rang out and the creature hit the ground. Six resounding shots went into it's chest and it quit moving. Suddenly the head dislodged and a small four legged vreature leaped at the soldier and crawled into his mouth. The soldier started to gag until he died. Shortly after the soldier got back up holding an M16. Instead of firing on Derek it looked as if it was going to use it as a club. Thinking quickly Derek grabbed his sidearm and shot the infected soldier in the head. The body fell and he aimed at the head waiting for the creature but it never came back. Moving quickly he made it to the M16 and checked the clip.

Eric had fallen on the ground watching the fight between Derek and the man. Staring at the two completely oblivious and with terror in his eyes. Eric quickly made haste and got upon both his legs. "yo Derek I don't Think the thing is friendly." He said to him as he watched Derek kill the man. "And I don't feel very secure. You have any kind of side arm weapon?" Eric was not in the military and he had never went to some kind of firearm camp but his family owned a fire range and he was exceptional in shooting.

"Yeah hold on." Derek pulled his sidearm from it's holster and then thinking about he removed the holster and threw them both to Eric. "We need to secure this are-" Before he could finsh Derek saw his father standing in the small doorway. Smiling he made his way towards him but was shocked to see him holding a wrench and moving towards him. "Oh god.. Dad."

"thanks man" He gave Derek a quick friendly salute. " Ok lets do it. Eric situated the guns to his liking and holstered one with the other in his hand his finger on the trigger. Derek and him started moving. Derek noticed in the distance, his father. at first he motioned toward him but then Derek noticed that his father was different. Eric heard Derek "Oh god.. Dad." Eric stood at attention waiting for the moment to shoot. He was not gonna fire until Derek did. It was his father.

"I'm so sorry Dad..." He closed his eyes and clicked the setting on the Assault rifle to fully auto and let out a volley of bullets at what was once his father. Bullets went everywhere and his father was hit many times.

Aubrey looked cautiously at Silver, and then looked at the entrance to their Base. The caution alarm was booming over the speakers, and everyone was running around frantically.

"I didn't think opening a ship was this much of a problem..." Aubrey leaning over, and looking around. He shrugged, walked in, and started to head towards the ship hangar, only to be stopped by the Gunnery Sgt.

"Hold it, Soldier. Ship's off limits 'till we can get the specimen off of it. Then, we'll have you, Aubrey, and your troupe, including Mr. Silverin here, and cleansweep it. Make sure we didn't miss anything." The Sgt. nodded to them both, and marched off, towards the Hangar.

Aubrey had a discontent look on his face, and elbowed Silver in the... Uh... Ribs?
"What kind of species do you think it is?" Aubrey asked him, looking at him through the corner of his eye.
"I'm gonna bet you anything it's dangerous. Someone's gonna have there face stripped clean off."
"I don't think we should sit around discussing what the hell these things are, not when they're trying to kill us. We need to move, there are too many to fight. We'll die if we wait around here!" Silverin yelled out, over the screams of dying marines. "Follow me, with haste. We've gotta get out of this hell hole." Silverin said. He pulled out his M9 handgun and held it close, as he and Aubrey made their way to the entrance. Several of the infected stood in their way though. Silverin haulted firing at them as they came, one fell quickly but the rest seemed as though they could take a few more rounds. So Silverin did things the quicker way, and charged at them, knocking one of them to the floor, and knocking the other into a wall, giving him and Aubrey a direct path to the entrance which lay directly in front of them.

Derek breathed deep, grabbed Eric's arm and pulled him towards one of the military parking areas. "I have my Dad's keys so we can take one of the humvees." He found a humvee that was unlocked and got inside and waited till Eric was inside before starting it up. A radio transmission filled the air.

"To any and all survivors of the massacre report immediately to the Kenedy military air installation! There will be a shuttle ready to take any survivors up to the space station while the city is 'Disinfected'."

Eric felt the tug of Derek. He walked over to the car and hopped in while the radio blasted. "Dang man this is the most crazy day of my life. What is going on. Those things...What the hell are they?" He leaned back into the car chair and started up his cell phone. " Huh? My cells dead"

BACK TO THE INFECTION-FREE ZONE

Damien got off the car and smiled looking at the big dent "sorry but youll be thanking me in a minute" he then got beside him "something bigs about to happen and i ....might need help"

Aubrey followed Silver's lead outside of the facility, and then turned around, blasting the oncoming infected with more bullets. When that didn't work, he used his Winchester SX3, and it took out much theinfected, but more still poured through. They were trying to escape, and somehow the smaller things were controlling the near-human ones.
Aubrey looked around. He and Silver needed an escape route, quick. Then it flashed through Aubrey's head.

"Silver! To the bar, quick!" The bar was nice and secluded, and it would provide much needed cover, plus a few drinks. Without waiting for Silver's approval, Aubrey darted off towards the alley that held the bar, which was a good mile away.

(Watch th vid. It's crazy o.O And I had a much longer post then this, but my stupid computer ate it D=)
(This kinda reminds me of shaun of the dead, lol.)
Silverin began running towards the bar, right behind Aubrey. He didn't think it was a good idea but he wasn't one to argue, even though he felt that sitting in an empty bar would only leave them like cornered dogs. The human infections didn't seem to be handicapped in any way and they weren't wasting anytime chasing Aubrey and Silverin.
(Probably gonna be gone the rest of the day, might not be here tomorrow)

Elena sat in her favorite little bar in the slums of the downtown metropolis, the dim lighting setting a sort of atmosphere to the place as she decided to down her shot of vodka and head out into the streets to walk home. As she stepped out into the open part of the city, she noticed two men standing by a slightly damaged car, one carrying a sword on his back, the other looking a bit too cocky for his own good. She wasn't sure why, but she felt drawn to introduce herself and see if they were having any car trouble. As she neared, they continued talking, and she caught a laugh, stepping up behind them. "Car trouble, boys? Anything I can do to help?"

Dante stopped speaking to Damien for the moment and turned to see who the newcomer was, even though he was sure she couldn't help. Much to his amazement... "Do I... know you?"

Elena giggled a bit, never having been good at holding her alcohol. "Nope, I don't think so... But I'm sure it's possible. I'm awful with faces." She extended a hand to the two of them. "Elena Edinboro, Defense Attorney by day, drunken idiot by night." She laughed a bit at the end of her introduction, thinking herself clever. "Just kidding about the drunken idiot part, though."

Dante nodded, taking her hand in his own to shake it. "Dante. I run a P.I. service downtown. I think one of my ex-clients recommended I get a good lawyer soon... I remember seeing your name in the classifieds under Defense Attorney and researching some of your cases... You're pretty good..."

Elena smiled, nodding. "Thanks. I've heard of you... The wealthy boy genius who became a P.I. to distance himself from his family?" She smiled as he nodded. "I'd be glad to represent you should you need it." She handed him a card and walked away. "Call me sometime, Dante!" She waved to the other guy. "Nice to see ya, guy..."

Derek noticed more infected were popping up around the city at an increased rate. "We're not going to make it to the launch pad at this rate. While he was trying to find a signal on his radio, a communication system that ran through all of the city blared. "Everyone move to the Launch Pad on the North Eastern side of town as soon as possible. The parasites have taken almost all of the city except for the slums and the military installation. Once the military instalation falls will we launch the shuttle regardless of who is left behind." Derek floored the humvee and started to pay less attention to saftey and was just trying to get a ride out of the hell hole.

Damien chuckled "out of your league"

Thomas and his small gang were right outside the bank. Greg was waiting in the getaway hovercar. Thomas held three fingers up...two...one.
They busted in the door swarming through. Thomas held his pistol to the tellers head and said "You know the drill" The teller gasped and bent down grabbing some things. He came back up sweating with a boatload of money. Thomas stuffed it in to his bag, then looked at the man's face. Thomas saw true fear. How had they gotten this way. Going from average, if not exceptional students to low-life thugs. NO! that kind of thinking would get him killed. Besides he needed the money. He couldn't look at the tellers face though. He turned and said "Let's go!"
Suddenly, the glass roof was broken and one of the hybrid zombie things landed right behind the teller and pounced on him. More zombies followed it. Thomas was stunned. One of them growled at him. It approached and it's tentacled mouth slithered inches before his face, then there was a gunshot and it's head burst open. He looked behind him and saw one of his gangmembers beaming. They all took positions and started killing the beasts. When they were done, Thomas went back home.

((Just as a reminder we can't consider zombies because of the intelligence they still hold and thanks for being the first person to listen to the head-shot thing haha))

Derek stopped infront of the gate of the military installation just as a .50 Calibur machine gun opened fire on an advancing troop of the infected humans. A loud roar broke out and a nine foot "evolution" walked out amd flipped a humvee onto it's side. It then proceeded to smash the side of the car killing the marines inside. The .50 Cal. opened fire on it and when the belt ran out the monster was on it's back but to everyones dismay it rose back up and continued it's rampage.

Thomas was bored, he decided to call his friends and see if they wanted to go to the bar. They all agreed and He picked them up in his H67 (Microscopic hummer) They arrived at the bar only to see a swarm of more of those infected Zombie things. Thomas took out a gun and got out of the car. "No, you might take the bank but you ain't takin the bar. Not with the 64th street thugs still around. One of the Zombies turned and roared at him then coughed up blood on his shoes. "Mother..." the rest of the curse was drowned out by gunfire from his entire gang. They had every thing, nano uzis, colt .46, everything. They killed 'em. All of them. "I think I need a drink," Thomas said and they all groaned and put their guns away. Walked inside. There were two people there. "You wouldn't be the new bartenders would you?" He asked.

Eric stared at the creature in dismay. How could such a thing even exist and why are they attacking now. A thousand and one thought came flowing through his head but all of them were over lapped by the one strong thing he knew. Eric upholstered his weapon. " Derek we have to go help them, we cant have any more casualties man." He his with clear disdain in his tone. " if we don't do something they could die, that thing doesn't look like its going down any time soon." He stood there quietly waiting for Derek to respond to his thought.

((Also if an infection form takes over a living host it gains all memory))

Derek got on top of the humvee and unlocked the .50 Cal. AP. Assault Machine Gun. "Then let's help.." He opened fire on the evolution and watched as it walked towards him not even being affected by the bullets. A transmissions started to come in from the space station. <Those big things are starting to pop up all over the city! In the last hour we've counted up to about eighteen.> "Damnit there is no way we can mount a defensive like this." Jumping out of the humvee he grabbed Eric and started to climb the gate but before he could make any progress, a jeep was thrown into the fence and knocked it down. Derek ran to were a marine unit was stationed and took cover in the building.

Suddenly, a big, ugly creature that looked like something straight from a nightmare walked directly through a marine building, and started heading straight towards the bar. "mind if we join you" Thomas said and they all dived under the bar trying to hide. (unrealistic I know, but how are we supposed to meet if you're in like the pentagon, or something.)

Derek looked over at Eric. "I need you to stay here and provide me cover fire." He handed Eric the assault rifle and heaved the large .50 Calibur onto his back and tried to run but could only muster a slow walk. His plan was to make it to the adjacent building and and open fire on the creature from behind. He could only hope it was the creatures weak spot. As he entered a back alley he saw half eaten corpses that had taken too much damage to help the parasite so they were being used as food. The smell was overwhelming and Derek was forced to find another way up.

Eric loyally nodded at Derek. "no problem man. just make it there in one piece." He took the rifle in hand and started firing at the beast as Derek walked.

Thomas stood, "Hey you protect these guys. I'm adding that thing to the head count," Thomas said packing two Uzis.
He walked out of the bar, and saw a man sporting a huge gun on his back. "You seem to have things under control here" Thomas said smirking, but I think I'll help." He took out his guns and opened fire on the beast. The bullets weren't doing much of anything.

Derek made it behind the creature and opened fire on it from as close as he could. He was speachless when the smoke cleared the and the creature just kept advancing. Just as he was about to give up hope an apache helicopter flew over the building and let out six archer missles into it's torso. The creature was laying on his back and Derek was about to freak out but he noticed that it's chest was cracked and he could see blood oozing out. Before he could even react the creature got back up and threw a car into the chopper bringing it down.

"Christ, what the hell are these things" Thomas yelled to Derek through the explosion.

"I know about as much as you! Shoot at it's chest!" Derek opened fire to make it turn around to face him long enough so that the others could reload and get a plan ready.

"Look what I picked up," Thomas yelled holding a belt of frags up," I'm gonna try throwing one at his chest" He said, and took off the clip, and through it directly at the crack, hoping it would go through.
(Your choice on whether it does or not.)

The explosion blew a large gap in it's chest and back, throwing blood everywhere and alowing the heavy assault weapon to blow through it. The creature fell down and looked as if it was trying to get up but quit moving. Derek got up and made his way to the others. "We need to get to the launch station now.."

"Launch Pad? what so you guys are just gonna run off station. What about all the innocent people, I thought you army men were all about courage. Shows what your taxes pay for" Thomas said and began walking away sneering.

" Wow that was a big explosion"

"Do you really see any survivors? Would you rather stay here and turn into those things? The whole city is gone and is going to nuked from space. We've got twenty-four hours to get to that launch pad." Derek made his way back to where Eric and the marines were.

"Do you really see any survivors? Would you rather stay here and turn into those things? The whole city is gone and is going to nuked from space. We've got twenty-four hours to get to that launch pad." Derek made his way back to where Eric and the marines were. Thomas looked down thinking about his options. He could stay with his family and die an honorable death, or he could run, run from it all...maybe get a job with the marines, live an honorable second half of life, or die an honorable death, tough decision. "I'm coming with you" he said awkwardly.

Eric stood up and made his way out of the building. walking towards Derek. " so whats are next move now man. I'm out of ammunitions as well. I think we should stock up. this place has got to have an armory."

"Find a vehicle and haul ass to the launch pad.. or we could walk it." He sat down holding his head. "That gun gives you one hell of a headache."

"well..If we get in a vehicle sure we will obviously make it there faster but what if their is survivors. I know we cant save them all but that doesn't mean we should just leave them in the dust. If we walk yes it will be more dangerous but still we may be able to find other people out there. I'm sure theirs people that don't even know whats going on. sitting at home and thinking every things ok. but we all know the reality. Is it fare for those people?"

"No, let's get a vehicle" Thomas said looking down. He did not want to pass his house again at any speed below 60 mph. He wouldn't be able to bear leaving his family to die and having to see them again, but he thought maybe it was for the best.

"Survival is key. Sometimes you have to amke a decision. My decision is to direct people towards the platform and keep going. You can as you like also but I know I am NOT becoming like those things.. Not like what happened to my father."

"finally, someone talking sense. Let's Go!"

"I guess I'm with you Derek. Lets just do this as fast as we can. First though like I said earlier we need to stock up. is their an armory here?"

"There's a gunshop and the owners dead, but I guess you guys have to 'uphold the law' don't you" Thomas said disgusted.

"Let's do this.. Oh by the way my name is Derek and this is my friend Eric. If you make a joke about ours names then I will probably just end up shooting you." He let out a slight chuckle. "The only armory is at the base we are just at an outpost."

Eric started laughing under his breath. " please sir don't lump me in with the military dogs. The names Eric" He said as he extended his hand to shake. " I am a 18 student who got a bad hitchhiker ride . you know the story, wrong place at the wrong time."

"Charming." Thomas said though their was amazement on his face. He had always wanted to be a marine once he got through college, but, he never got through college.

"Let's get to a car and to that gunshop, shall we?"

"Just a minute, There are two innocents just inside the bar, the others, well, they would shoot you on sight," Thomas went in and got Aubrey and silverin, "I told my gang to have some drinks, they'll need them" Thomas said sighing heavily with guilt, He looked up "Let's go!" he said

Derek made his way to a military transport truck and started to cheer when he saw the keys still in the ignition. He got in and fired up the old truck, it roared to like loudedly but was still in good condition. "Get in quick!"

Thomas got everyone in then hopped in the back of the pick up.

Eric slid into the front seat. " ok lets get the hell out of here. How much gas in this thing?"

((Tad bigger then a pick up haha))

"About 16-17 gallons at most.. so we can go about 40-50 miles.."He moved up the street slowly laughing as some of the infected ran into the truck head first. "Wow we'll have this is control in no time." As he said that a car drove by quickly and stopped right in front of a "beast form." It leaped on top of the car and with it's mouth it ripped the roof of the car off and bit the driver's head clean off. Grabbing the body with it's mouth it threw it out and flipped the car.

(aren't you the driver?)
"Oh sh!t" Thomas screamed and got out his uzis, and started firing maniacally, The beast roared and jumped on him trying to pounce, He sidestepped it but got but by one of his teeth that was sticking out of his upper lip. He tried to fire but only heard an unsatisfactory click. He whipped it in the head with the hammer and then it kicked out of the back of the truck, but it definitely wasn't dead. "Drive!!" He yelled and bent over trying to nurse his arm.

((Wasn't us it was another car))

Derek hit the gas and sped past the creature that was now making it's way towards them. The large truck spurred to a high speed which made manuvering much harder. he gassed the truck as much as he could and made as sharp a turn as the truck could handle to try and get away.

(ok, then I guess that means I still have bullets!) Thomas took some creature from out the back.

Derek thought fast and released the trucks back covering and as the creature jumped at them it was caught in the covering and thrown to the ground. The truck picked up speed and went down the road.

Thomas went back to his seat and sat down.

A sign that said "Launch pad ahead twenty miles" brought relief to Derek as he kept the truck moving. "We better start praying we have the gas after what that thing made us do."

(dont mean to take control)

Soon, Derek saw gunfire on the side of the road by a burning wreck of an APC. It was Sgt. O'Gara, with what remained of his squad, defending their APC from the parasitic infected. A parasite crawled up and leaped into one of O'Gara's men, causing him to scream with pain and fall to the ground. Before he could say anything, O'Gara stabbed him in the face with his bayonet, stopping him from becoming infected.

"Those damn parasitic baastarrds are tearing us up!"
He fired a burst of fire into another bug, splattering it everywhere. He was down to 2 men, the rest dead and missing. the other 2 men moved close to him, as they continued to hold them off

"Take this and shove it up ur arse!!!"

Derek slowed down the transport and opened his door. "Get in the truck! All orders are to make our way to the shuttle port." Derek made sure the breaks were on and started to take shots at any infected from his door with his pistol.

O'Gara nodded
"Don't have to tell me twice! lets go men!"

He stabbed another infected and sprinted to the truck, his 2 other men in tow. Brian leaped onto the back, and pulled the other man up. Just as the 2nd was getting on, he was pulled back by an Infected. O'Gara yelled back
"Floor it!" and shot a round into his head, putting the irishman out of his misery.
As the APC began to fade away, O'Gara removed his helmet, and held his comrade in an embrace, who began to sob. He looked at Derekand said

"We...we...were ambushed....our whole company....100 brave souls....gone. May god bless your sould comrade, for saving my life."
He straightened himself out, and put out his hand

"Sgt. Brian O'Gara, of the Irish Defense Force, at yar service"

"I'm Derek.. this is pretty much all of the survivors we found. You should have been in town in the initial outbreak... We're almost all that is left of the entire town." Derek kept his eyes on the road. "I noticed you have only been fighting human forms out here.. have you not come into contact with any other forms?"

"Well, we were doing a routine training mission on American bases when it happened. Our CO got orders from Dublin to stay put and help out. But we got ambushed bad...
Our first half got attacked by the original forms, and then they got infected and attacked us....those were the SOBs were were killin when you saved our arse. Other than that, no, we havent seen anymore."

Derek laughed tehn sighed deeply. "Then you have no idea of the hell that we have bene going through.. lost an entire troop of marines to one giant thing.. and then that four legged beast attacked that car and us..."
<Launch Pad 10 Miles>

"Great Bono's ghost, what kinda of monstrositys are ya fightin sir? Jesus, How are we supposed to beat these things? they just keep coming at ya....so fast.....so many..."

"Command plans to nuke the city and surrounding area from the space station and that happens to be where we are heading that is if we make it there."

O'Gara's eyes widended, and his comrade looked up, shocked as well. The soldier was a young woman, new to battle, and obviously small for her battle suit, which jumped up everytime the truck hit a bump.

"Are ya kidding me? how many civies will die? can they do that?"

"Almost no one is left in the city... besides sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."

"Aye, so be it. I just cant believe how quickly we got sucked into this....disaster. ahh well. Well, ill serve by your side till we get out of this mess. And so will Pvt. Sullivan here. *points to the woman* One moment, Jaley was filiing pay cards, the next, shes on the ground fightin like a true irishman. So, do we know if the pad is clearof bugs,?" he said as he loaded another clip into his assault rifle

"We're not sure yet but we really don't have the option to doubt it at the moment but we really can't just not go at the same time, you know?" Derek looked at one of the marines in the back and told him to take the wheel while he took a break. He moved back to O'Gara's and Sulivan's positions. "Soo tired can't see straight..." Soemthing that was only a blur caught his eye but it almost seemed as if it were looking right at him.


((Let it live, it plays and important part in the next part of the story.))

(yup)

"Right, well we'de best get some rest while we can, i haardly think well get that much more for a while."

He put his helmet beside him and laid back, closing his eyes and wondering what would become of this ragtag band of survivors. Pvt. Sullivan leaned against him, trying to rest as well. O'Gara was always known as a ladies man, one to woo them over for a quick one night stand and then leave for anothr post the next day. he gave a look of fatigue and hopefullness for the future to derek, and closed his eyes

up in the sky a burning really old jet was falling out of the sky the pilot was using wat was left of his repulser lifts to keep the jet level as it plumetted towards the ground falling apart then suddenly the jet started loosing wat levelness it had and started flipping around in the sky then a pod shot out the top and rocketted towards the ground and then repular lifts were activated and it landed softly. the hatch shot off and a man in his twenties stepped out carrieying a huskie sheppard dog hopped out and set the dog down as he grabbed some weapons and sat down infront of the pod petting the dog. the man rolled his sleeve up to look at a huge cut on his right arm, he then proceded to pull out wat looked like a stylus but emitted a laser that cauterized the wound. the man's face displayed pure extasy at the burning of his flesh. after the man stopped he called the dog over and cauterized a cut on the dogs side. the man stood up and saw a vehicle full of men approach, h figured he could hitch a ride to the launch pad

The marine that was driving saw the crash and the pod land. "Sir, what do you advise we do?" Derek looked and saw the man and his dog and then motioned for the driver to stop the vehicle. When the transport stopped he lept out and told the rag-tag team of survivors to cover the area. Derek motioned for him to come their position.

"great milatary buffs" the man said to his dog wh seem to actually understand him, and barked an affirmative. the man walked closer to derek but not to cloe just close nough that if he had two one flick of his writ and he man would be dead "i'm Jacen Trigre of Ontario Canada, not much else to sy except it's pretty bad up there, bastards getting smarter using our anti-air to take out the jets like mine, i don't even think they know how to properly use it, just shoot and reload" Jacen said as his dog carried the cauterser to him in his mouth, "thankyou boy" jacen said pattig his dog then used it to sear his own flesh absorbing the pain and started forming a symbol which looked alien then passed it to derek "use it the power pack is still full, i'll need to grab a few thing frm my pod so i can survive to pilot your hip" jacen said turning around and grabbing weapons and tools and also a bag which was already half full, he put the tools in the bag then grabbed the two SPAZ combat shotguns and the SIG machine gun and strapped them on "get your men in a tighter circle, close up any wounds and then lets roll out" jacen almost ordered

"None of us are injured.. pretty much anyone injured by those things are taken pretty quick.. we've had to abndon so of the more hurt people too. We're heading up a ways to get to the shuttle heading to the space station. It's the only safe place." With one move of his hand everyone started to climb back into the transport exceot this time he drove once more.

"well id lik that back then only things keping me 'sane'" jacen said hopping in and his dog followed he started loading some empty clips and checking the shotguns then pulled out his katana and two small stones and sharpenned the blade

One of the marines noticed the sword and laughed. "Trust me that sword is next to useless on the bigger guys.." Derek then turned around and handed the cauterizer back to Jacen. "Back to the mission." Derek picked up speed and headed back down the road.

"i don't mind wasting ammo on the bigger guys, they don't swarm at you with they're almost useless bodie, only thing they want is to devour you, and when that happens the swrd is mightier than the gun," jacen said heating up the ip of the sword with the laser

"You obviously haven't seen what we have.. two .50 Cals and Archer missles barely even scratched his armor.. some little sowrd couldn't make anything.. not to mention getting that close is suicide." The marine thought for a moment and looked up. "Come to think of it those beast ones don't have any armor and always charge you so a sword would genious against them."

"also this is a fine sword made of alien metal that diamonds can just scrath, though it just mixed with a small ammount of it it's still pretty damn tough, plus i bet there are spots which a bulet can't get to but a sword will, even so i was talking aout the human forms" jacen said cutting himself with the nea red hot blade

The blurry image at the back of the transport had moved to directly behind Derek.

((Remember let it live))

jacen's dog stared at the blurry image with his head tilted

The creature just stared at the dog and gave a low growl that normal people could not here. Derek could feel and odd aura but though of it as just battle fatigue. They arrived at the gate of the launch pad and were overjoyed to see marines and army personel covering their way in. They drove into the base and parked. Derek got out of the truck and started to stretch. "Sixteen more hours guys."

Elena hadn't counted on running into the P.I. right outside her favorite bar, but she knew it was a stroke of luck. She'd needed an escort out to the old launch site for days now, and he would do just fine, if he was willing to help...

Dante watched as she disappeared into the misty fog. "Damien, I'm tailing her. Something's odd about that girl, but I have this weird feeling I'm supposed to be following her..." He took off after her, keeping to the shadows the whole of the way...


<<gonna be gone for a day or two. back when I can... >>

"imprssive" jacen sid then called his dog and walked around a bit

Damien cursed under his breath and disappeared into the shadows

jacen walked around seing some new fighters and decided to see wat sim programms they have

<<nvm, my bad my vacation is a few days off... i'm horrible with calendars...>>

Elena stopped suddenly in the middle of the road, about a mile from the launch base now. "Dante, when are you gonna quit skulking and just walk up here to carry on a conversation?" She smiled, never turning around. She'd known he was following her ever since he had tripped over a trash can lid a few miles back.

Dante slipped out from an alleyway and walked up next to her, the two continuing on to the base. "Well, I was trying not to be noticed, but obviously that didn't work." He shrugged, lighting up a cigarette and offering her the pack.

Elena took the pack and lit a smoke of her own. It had been a few hours since she had run out, and she was actually grateful, her nerves calming before she even lit the damned thing. "Well, if you hadn't tripped back there, I'd never have known." She spoke in sort of a schoolgirl tone, almost taunting him. He stopped dead, making her turn to face him, a look of concern on his face. "What's wrong?"

He had thought that was just a noise in the back of his mind a few miles back, but now... "Elena... I never tripped..."

Derek walked over to one of the technicians. "How many seats are left on the shuttle?" The technician looked at the ground not wanting to make eye contact. "You're the first survivors to make it here." Derek just sighed and turned around to head over to all of the others.

<<kk, purple text is both characters, limegreen is dante, and skyblue is elena... for those of you that need the explanation. >>

The two ran at top speed into the base, shutting the gates behind them.


Dante chained the gate shut, motioning Elena on ahead. "Go! I'll be there in a minute!"


Elena stopped for a minute, then ran on ahead. "I'll send some backup to help you!"

Derek heard the commotion and ran to the armory where he reappeared with an assault rifle and an ammo belt. By this time he had changed out of his civilain clothes and into marines fatigues. Running as fast as he could he fired into the darkness blindly trying to see if he could scare whatever it was away. "What's going on here!? What's after you?"

jacen heard the commoton and grabbed his shotgun and ran in derek's direction waiting until he got a visual to fire "wat is it?" jacen asked

"No idea.." Derek stopped firing long enough to see if he could get a visual. "If it's another of those big things then we won't stand a chance.."

Elena pointed back at the gate, gasping words between breaths for air. "Dante... alone... needs... backup... whole pack..." She took a deep breath, then composed herself a bit more. "Dante, my backup, is alone at the gate. He needs backup against a whole pack of those... things!" She looked between the two. "Where's your armory? I need some supplies."

"Ah damnit.. Armory is back at the base. I think it is the forth door on your left!" Derek ran towards the gate untill he saw Dante. "Where are they and how many!?" Derek stayed in a defensive stance waiting to see aynthing.

jacen ran and scaled the fence drawing his sword as he jumped down and then cut the chain to let derek through "it might be suicidal, but if we don't go it will be homcidal" jacen said slashing a straw infected cutting the head off "told you it's useful" jacen commented

"You're going to get us killed!" Derek didn't want to go through the gate but losing survivors that were already at the pad would not be a good idea. "Damnit." Dere charged out into the open road and started to take shots at the infected that were nearby.

"i think we have just as much chance of surviving out here than back in the base" jacen stated jumping on the back of one infected and decapitating it, then chop up multiple more in one swing "the closer they are easier they are to take out" jacen said enjoying the fighting
