the door is currently on the floor Rek blew it off its hinges.))
Kat and shannon ran down the stairs and into the sewers. Kat grabbed Carlos by the shoulder and pulled him into the sewers as Shannon fired uppon the infected. "Rek we're here. How's Jacob?" She put Carlos over her shoulder and ran as fast as she could with Shannon behind her.
((he shot the armory door off its hinges, carlos is at the sewer entrance in the basement. and why would you put carlos on your shoulder. he would just push himself back off and go back where he was, like so.))
carlos pushed himself back off of katr and ran back to the door where he had been previosly. he continued firing his pistol.
Rek was about to reply when he looked up to see thousands of infected. They were gravling through the building. He dropped the explosive bag. All of the zombies turned to him, their mouthes agape. "Go." Rek whispered. "I'm omega. Please don't wait up." He swallowed. "I'm sorry Jacob. Get them out for me. Kat," He continued privatly, "This wont make it any easier on you, but, I love you." Rek sighed, resigned to his task. "Close the sewer Carlos, there is no way I can get you guys." He then severed his com connection completely. The zombies had ceased all movement and watched him in dumb silence. Daring his first move. He dropped the satchel charge into the pack and kicked it forward. It stopped by the zombies feet, they all swayed and looked at it, as if sizeing it up for a meal, then they returned their short attention back to Rek. The Lieutenant was slowly backing towards the far wall of the armory, assault rifle raised, clips slung on shoulder. The simular room below being another armory. He darkened his vizor to maximum and closed his eyes and pressed the remote, activating the charge. At the same time the infected rushed forward.

From high above the earth, an orbiting military controlled satallite registered a bright flash bafore its cameras died.
***
The explosion was felt by all in the sewer. Destroying nearly half the tunnel by turing it to rubble for almost a klick in each direction, luckily, it wasn't completely blocked.
Jacob and Ben both walked up to the others. "We're getting out of here and back to the base outside of town. You can stay here and die if you want because we are not stopping. There's a Wraith down here so better move fast." They both made their way forward towards the exit about six clicks away. "I'm not losing anymore teammates..."
did... rek just kill himself?... ouch... poor Kat..)
Kat's heart sank when she heard Rek's words. "I love you too Rek... I always have." She shook her head and waited for the shockwave from his explosion to pass. Shannon watched her quietly. "Mom?" Kat stood up and took a quick glance around. "Tell everyone to go on. I'll catch up." She turned off her com and started back the way they had come. "Where are you going?!" She didn't look back at her daughter as she answered. "Rek has Jacob's tags."
Reks transponder failed. The signal cut off.
***
An Russian Mig flew low over the carnage. The pilot shook his head. Smoke cleared between two highrises and the jet banked and climbed. "Attention United States military forces, do you read m..."
***
Jacobs com: "At---ion Unit-d S--tes milit--y f-r--s, do you re-- -e? Any su--viv---s plea--...." The signal failed.
(A set-up for your ending a ways away from now.)
carlos fell to his kneas.
*flash back. carlos slammed door shut and blocked it with peice of wood. flew against wall from shock wave. shook head and grabbed saw. looked up towards rek's last known position.*
carlos lip quiverewd. the rifle fell from his hands. the bite on his right arm pulsed with pain as if it was alive. then...
"the screams."
he cvlutched his skull and fell over into the sewer water. he blacks out.
Jacob moved forward towards a sewer grate. "It's too risky. Chances are that it's a trap." Ben nodded and sighed. "But's the only place that releases close to the base. If we can just make it to the base we can make it out." They both sighed. "I'm taking the chance." Jacob muttered as he forced the grate open. There was no one, nothing. Not one single sign of life. Everyone was gone. All the equipment was left in dissaray. There wasn't a single moving body. Most were just dead infected. Many weapons laid scattered around. A chopper waited with three of Jacob's Russian allies. "Quickly Mr. Book, before they realize we are here!" Jacob looked back. "Everybody, move up now!"
From the inside of the control bunker came the sound of screams and gunfire, then it abruptly silenced. Lieutenant Commander Frank Mistara, his buddy Sam and several low ranking officers came out, alive. Spotting the chopper, they ran for it, recoinizing it as Russian. "Got room for five more?!" He called. From behind them, a Brute ripped through the retreating wall and gave chase, roaring. Frank spun and dropped a grenade. Then continued running. The grenade exploded under its foot, chucking the monster to the side with a crash. It roared in fustration as six leapers exited the building, followed by the entire population of Carolina. Zombifically.

Rek's body fell into the sewers, causing water the splash loudly. The water entered his vizor through the cracks. His suit was dented, scraped, gashed, blackened from being burned and in some places, covered in blood thickly. Not his own. He didn't move.

"Delta-Bravo-Echo-1, you have three minutes and fourty seconds." A heavy Russian accent said over the com from the MIG jet. It screamed passed overhead and strafed the ground with tracers. The bullets tore both the zombies and the ground the ground to pieces.
As the Mig flew, it had a straight shot until it passed through the etheral form of the Wraith. The pilot was instantly killed and the jet crashed. The wraith had absorbed all of the power of the Jet and had grown even more powerful, too powerful. Instantly the wraith was brought into the physical realm. "I told you not to become too powerful, now die." Jacob squeezed off one shot and hit it in the right eye. It fell from the sky in a heep. It's landing point could not be a worse one. It slammed into the helicopter at terminal velocity. "No! Every time... Why can't we just get a break." Jacob punched the ground. "Lieutenant Book. We are a King Raven and we are heading to your position. ETA one minute." The voice was a comfort to him in more than one way. "I'm not going to let you die down there.. dad."
got bored enough to borrow the whole parent child thing huh Jacob? 😛 lol jk jk))
Kat stepped out into the room where the explosion had taken place... Well what was left of it anyways. She glanced back over her shoulder, someone was back there but she knew the steps were too carefull to be an infected. She sighed and quietly looked out at the rubble as she waited for Lieutenant Daran to catch up.
Shannon grabbed Carlos and pulled him into a shallow spot. "Carlos? Carlos wake up! I cant carry you like my mom can! Get up!... Please." She sighed and looked down at him.
Rek is apparently dead. The room your standing in, along with 2 klicks of rubble that were the surrounding buildings, are totally destroyed, you would have to have been standing on a mound of burning corpses (Rek at the bottom of...) and brick work.)
Daran clambered atop the pile. "Phew, he really levelled this place... c'mon Kat... I'm giving you three minutes to say good bye then I'm ordering you to head back to the group." Daran heard the panicked gunfire far in the distance. "Three minutes." He reminded her. The Lieutenant then turned and jumped down from the smouldering pile of rock and zombies. "Jacob," he tapped his com, "whats the situation?" He took in the remains of several blocks of buildings. He paused. "That must have been some explosion... huh? What the..." He found himself staring at a trail of blood and almost drunken dazed foot prints.
