Earth-Last Stand

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."
