Jacob started to yell as he held the trigger down. The gun pushed out round after round, in what seemed to be an endless stream. Finally, the click he feared worst sounded, meaning that all hope was about gone. In a last ditch effort to protect Savannah, he stepped out of the chopper and slammed the side door shut. Turning around, he was almost immediately hit by an infected. It was scrawnier than most of the others, and was rather easy to fend off, but the others would be a different story. Savannah just started to wake up.
Jacob let out a painful yell as an infected fist slammed into the shoulder that Kamarov's blade had pierced. Blood began to drip from the reopened wound, as well as from under his mask. His breathing slowed as two infected forced him to the ground. His attempts to throw me off were in vain. He raised his head up, but it was immediately knocked back by an infected fist.
Selina had followed Jacob without his knowledge of her.She had know that it was an foolish move of him to be out here.As the infected seemed to attack him she made sure she was safe in at an high ground.She would use her twin guns but it would give away are location.So she took out her bow.Suddenly an arrow crashed into one of Jacob's attackers.Than another.I got you covered Lieutenant!"
Jacob's vision, heavily blurred, cleared slightly as one of the attackers feel dead, an arrow dug deeply in it's back. Rearing his legs back, he flung one of the attacks off of him, and threw it into a rock. Shakily rising to his feet, he stumbled backwords and grabbed a weapon from the ground. It was a long piece of the main rotor that had snapped off during the crash, but it would have to do for now. Swinging it hard, he dug the rotor blade into the neck of a charging infected. The door of the chopper slid open, and Savannah stepped out with her moddified AK47. She opened up on the infected with fully automatic, tearing most of them down. "Come on, we gotta go!" She supported Jacob with her shoulder and started to run for Selina's position.
Rek ran across the open ground, members in tow. He saw the flashes of gun fire seconds before the noise of the guns reached him. He raised his own weapon, light attched, swinging it round he put two rounds into the first infected. Several tuned towards the new threat, their moans chilling his spine. "Jacob!!!" He slammed into an infected, smashing the rifle's butt against its head. It belched blood and collapsed, leaving Rek a clear firing position. His shots caught a leaper in the back, but the creature shrugged off the shots turning to face him, contorted skull and lifeless eyes. Rek stared at the creature as more appeared. A flicker of movement to his side caused him to drop and roll as a leaper lunched itself at him.
As Rek rolled around he sprayed bullets upwards into its chest, sending it sprawling into a heap, letting out a pittiful screach.
The others were fast, pouncing on Rek, who as he finished the roll, suddenly had sharp claws dig into his side. "****!" His rifle clattered to the ground as he swung around, punching off the assailent.
He drew his knife, severly wishing he'd put on his Hazmat suit. The blade sank into the jaw of one of the infected before Rek even remembered moving, leaving the infected to collapse while its blood drenched his hand. He dived for the assault rifle, but the normal infected were crowding in already.
Just a thought as I looked over Hazmat Alpha yesterday... the Leapers are not ment to go down easily. They are very tough and extremely agile. Rek's first encounter with the leapers hurt, both because he lost gun. Although he had his suit, the Leapers are by no means easy to kill. Here is their first appearance:

Rek nodded and began sprinting towards the pipe but he soon realised where his plan would fail as he noticed the monster turn on the noise of the firing and let out a window shattering scream. Reks hazmat suit did little to stop the noise and held his hands on hs head. Bothe, cover fire from Ed and Shaun stopped as they reacted to the noise.Rek continued to the pipe and was almost there before he was tackled to the ground by a fast moving zombie Rek would later come to call a leaper Zombie. "Ahhh!" As he went down, the Zombie lept off of him with the agility of a dog and rebounded off the wall coming back down hard on his suit. Rek managed to deflect the creature and brought his rifle to bare on it. He fire one un-aimed shot that hit the creatures rear right leg causing it to screech. "Guys," The leaper came back on him and Rek rolled to his right as the zombie slammed into the oppisite wall. "I need you the get it off me!" Rek braced fror anther attack and barely stopped the creatures claws from diging into the sealed Hazmat suit. The creature caught Reks assult rifle and it skidded across the dirt stopping fve meters away. Hell it may have been one whole mile. The creature howled as it came at Rek. He closed his eyes and held his arms up.
Rek blocked the attack and managed to send the zombie flying into the wall behind him. The massive monster loomed ever closer to the combatents forgotten in the heat of battle but now became apparent as it roared. Rek pivoted on one foot bringing down his other on the creatures mid-torso hoping to knock the creature back, it had the adverse effect, knocking Rek off balence into a run and leap for the assult rifle but it got infront of Rek blockng his path so he collided with the thing and rolled to a stop wrestling with its claws. "Are you guys asleep over there?" Dammit they switched their coms to private. Rek suddenly heard a mass of static and some garbled vocals in his ear. He ignored it.
Ben fired a shot.
The bullet hit the creature on the side of its chest spraying bood and sending the leaper away this gave Rek a chance to scramble up his gun. He fired and killed the creater withe several bullets to the head. "Thanks gu- Shit!" Several more of the leapers appeared out from the pipe. "Scrap plan A. I'm just gonna run for it!" He turned as one of the creatures lept at him.
Rek watched in mild horror as the creature shared the same fate the first. He ran towards the base of the large creature taking out a grenade and puling the pin, releasing the safety he threw it at its feet. rek ran past the zombie heading for the fuel truck. He then turned around to see one of the dog like zombies get caught in the explosion as it followed him. The giant roared from the annoyance of the grenade and turned to where Rek had begun firing his weapon at the creature, merely peppering its invincible skin. Rek needed a way to garantee it would follow.
As he looked for a way to attract the creature to the proplene tanker he noticed something. "Hold fire people except in self defence." He rapidly said as he formed a plan. "I need the creat- shit! Its seen me." The creature had now spotted Rek and it began a roaring, stumbling charge towards him. "And.. Its pissed at me." Rek began running as the creture picked up an unrealistic rate of speed literally crushing other infected in its path of berzerked rage at Rek (whats the creatures name). A Leaper came running after Rek passing the enraged zombie. Rek glanced behind himself as he ran. He was about twohundred meters from the tanker. As he glanced he saw the Leaper jump at him, its deformed claws poised to pierce the Hazmat suits back armour and rupture his spine. Rek couldnt allow that to happen. He didnt have time to avoid the attack and stumbled forward to the ground, the zombie's jump carried it over his body. Seeing his chance, Rek brought his assult rifle up to fire from his almost prone poition. He pulled the trigger; it clicked, no bullets left the chamber, the clip was empty. "SHIT!!" Rek shouted and braced himself for the attack he was sure would come not even having the time to ask or even think of fire support. Over Reks shoulder; the monster came on, not really seeing except its disesed minds view of death. Rek covered his face closing his eyes.

Jacob tried to follow Rek's movements with his assualt rifle but kept sliding off track. Just as he was about to jump down and try and provide what cover her could, the Amalgamator held it's hand out in way that seemed like 'stop'. Instantly all the creatures stopped and spun around to face the amalgator. Most seemed ready to follow it's every command. It motioned for the weaker zombies to leave the area to clear the way for the Brute to chase Rek. From behind Jacob could hear someone screaming. "That's an Amalgamator! Kill it before it escapes!" Jacob raised his weapon and opened up a colley of shots into the creature. As it fell, all of the infected began to beserk.((Creature is alled a brute))

The attack came, but not the attack Rek was expecting. The attack was another Leaper slamming into the poised one letting out a breying scream that caused Rek to look up, then behind him. The 'brute' was still coming but the other zombies had suddenly stopped their actually organised attack. 'So the brute must be the zombies version of a tank.' He thought. Interested in the fact that they were suddenly just going in a random direction. The brute continued on still raged. Rek stood starting to run again and loading a fresh clip into the assult rifle. "C'mon you fat bastard! Come and get me!"The brute came at Rek with a roar just as he dived behind the feul truck. He shouted into his com but got static. "Shit! I need to get clear." He said while banging the side of his helmet. Nothing. He hoped Jacob wasnt going to fire until he was clear. "Sh-" The brute crashed into the trucks tank causing several massive dents and the creature stopped moving, looking for its prize: Rek.
Rek ran around the truck, and burst for the nearest cover. "Now! Fire! Fire!" He shouted and was sure he heard some vocals within static, reply. He couldnt make it out as something knocked him to the ground. A leaper Zombie. He wasnt far enough and the wounded brute was looking for Rek. He didnt have time for this. "Argh-" Rek slammed his fist into the creatures lower snout driving his hand through its brain. The creature whined and collapsed. Reks heart began beating ten-fold.
Shannon was right behind Rek. Most of her suit was on, except her hands and face were exposed. She was firing into the crowd of infected that was coming at Rek. Every now and then one would get too close to her and she'd dig her boot into its face, knock it down, and put a bullet into its head. Well that was her plan until a brute grabbed her by the back of her suit and tossed her away like a rag doll. She landed hard with a grunt, dazed with the wind knocked out of her. Soon she felt the brute's foot on her chest. He began to push down. She could feel the metal of her suit bending under the pressure. Her ribs where buckling as she began to panic. Her hand sprawled for her gun but it was too far away. Quietly she closed her eyes and let out a silent scream. Then suddenly a shot rang out, followed by another, and then another. The brute let out a painful cry before falling back and off of Shannon. Se coughed and looked to see who had taken the shot. All she could see was the glint of light hitting the barrel of a gun.
Kat's back was to a wall to minimize the chance of being caught off guard. She was picking creatures off one after another, grabbing a hand full of ammo from the bag beside her and stuffing the cartridges into the chamber.
its my favorite little toy. knocks me on my ass and leaves a pretty nasty bruise on my shoulder but i love them.

((You should try a 50 Cal. Gas Powered AUG Rifle. Brutes typically can survive AA fire, if they are the right kind. ))
Savannah reached forward and forced Jacob to follow along with her. "This is not the time for heroics! We know that all they do is get us killed!" She shot at the leaper on Rek, and the ones nearby. Thinking quickly, she snatched her sidearm from it's holster, and threw it to Jacob. With gratitude, he started to fire, and fall back to Rek's position, with Savannah behind his back.
Selina placed the bow around her and hopped down with her two guns in each hand.She made an mad dash toward Jacob and the group.Once she made it near them she turned around to what seemed to be an never ending army of the infected.".We can't keep this up for long."She looked over at Jacob"Do we have an way out of here."

Loran stood outside the radio tower, in actuallity it was a control tower but not any longer. His breath left his mouth in clouds of evaporating moisture that disappeared into the darkness. He shivered. It was almost winter. When Carlos came up behind him Rek seemed startled but recovered quickly.
"Hey Carlos." He greeted, turning back to the vista of beauty. "It's none of your business who he is, what he is, or why he is here. Besides, I wish you would stop using your Race Lord powers, its like lightening up beakon and dawn the infected to us like flys to a zapper lamp. Every time we do so endangers them," he pointed to the balconey's doorway, "especially if we become unstable, turning on them. Did you know I nearly killed Kat, back at the motel two days ago (in the previous game), I almost lost my humanity. In fact, I could be leading these people to their deaths, how do they know I'm not entirely human. How do they know I'm not already part of the plan of the infected, their call, song." Rek turned to regard Caros, sighing.
***
Sam, finished with his watch, after lettin Rek take over, took the spot beside Katerina. He grinned at her. "Wow, I can still see smoke... your that hot. Its been seven years since the fateful meeting of us at the hospitol, thou art thy prettiest in thy land." He tried to mimmic Shakespearian language, badly. He smiled thinking he was being impressive.
"Cool your heels seargent." Frank walked over and dragged Sam up. "C'mon Othello, we got equipment to sought. Sorry Kat." Frank began dragging him away, but he managed to ape a bow.
"Thank-yoooooou-" He tripped and tumbled over Frank,causing both of them to fall.
Daran started clapping. "Bravo!" He laughed then turned back to the radio. "Say again? I'm sorry Jacob, I can't read you. Our location is..."
***
To Jacob.
"-ion..[fzzt]..4..[fzzt]..fifteen d..[fzzt]..rees..[fzzt]..you read me? Repeat, our locatio...[fzzt]...abandoned chopper compound in..[cuts out]."***
Darar banged the field radio, and cursed. "I had Jacob but I lost his f*cking transmission." [/B]
he hasn't been using them since he jumped onto the chopper back at the normandy.))
carlos pulled himself around and switched weapons, pulling out his barrett 50. cal. "i've got you covered!" he fell backwards, pulling his eye to the scope and releasing half of the clip into its head and neck. he put out his arm, catching himself, then rolling up and firing two more shots, these ones hitting it directly on the joints of it's leg. it's leg buckled and it fell back on it's arse, crying out in pain. he turned and fired into an approaching leaper, tearing its body in half. he switched weapons and ran up to rek, firing into anything that got close. "you allright?!"
Jacob stood, free from his support and limped out into the open. "EVERYONE! FALL BACK NOW, OR WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE OUT HERE!" Spinning around, he shot two infected in the head, as they sprinted at the group. His face was mix of anger, and sadness. They had come all this way, just to die here. No, he could not let that happen, not now. Jacob pushed himself to the limit and started to run fowards, sliding onto one knee, pulling the trigger. Switching out the clip, he restarted his assault, this time, making his way towards Shannon.
A light shone from up above, and the sound of helicopters could be heard in the distance. "This is Marine unit Delta Whiskey, we will be assisting in todays fire fight." Laughs could be heard from the megaphone. Two mini-guns opened fire into the crowd of infected, from an Apache that was perfectly positioned.
cant complain out here. She found it so shes using it. She'd be out on the field if she had a .50 cal. and if she wasnt hurt.))
Shannon pulled her hand gun out and put it in her teeth. She kicked up a splinter of wood thin enough for using as a weapon. The brute was down but he wasnt out. But with three bullets in his head it would slow him down enough. She nodded and started off towards the group. A leaper stepped in front of her, its mouth open and drooling. She made a face and stuck the end of the stick into its open mouth, pushing it onto its back. She stepped up onto it and drew her gun from her teeth. She looked up in time to see the brute charging at her. "Whoops... Miscalculated that one." She jumped off to he leaper and made a mad dash for her rifle, spinning and opening fire on the creature. Well she would have opened fire if her trigger hadnt jammed. Her eyes widened and as any other soldier would have done in this situation; she turned and ran as fast as she could. As she ran she scanned the ground for another rifle.
Kat cursed and watched everyone through her scope. Rek and the gang were ok.... But damn it Shannon had a brute on her tail. She bit her lip and limped about, looking for something strong enough to take a brute out at this range. "Hang on kid... Please hang on.

carlos climbed down from the black hawk, his rifle slung over his arm. he watched kat and shannon for a moment before finnally returning to his human form. he began walking towards the tower, after rek. "who's your friend?"

Depending on what kind of leaper, that would actually be your more dangerous foe, as they are quick, strong and agile. Brutes are large, ungangly, slow, dumb creatures that are basically tanks, considering one swallowed a grenade, from me, and even though most of its stomach was blow out, the creature lived on, un averted by its wounded statye as they feel no pain. Well my version doesn't. Jacob?))
Rek spun around, ripping the blade from the creatures mouth and turning to face the brute. He swallowed as again it went after Shannon, bullet holes in its face and all. He remembered the lengths he had to go through to kill one seven years ago. Then he saw the leaper, it was on its hackles and bounded through the air at Shannon. "Sands! DOWN! NOW!" He ripped a grenade from his jacket and ran towards the brute, getting close as it swung at him. The brutes attention altered to him as he dropped the grenade, counting down the seconds till it would explode, and he made a dive for his assault rifle.
Assuming Shannon ducked)) The Leaper sailed over Shannon as Rek turned, the creature rebounded off of one of the marines, its sharp claws tearing the man in his side deeply. He screamed and Rek fired, sending a spray of bullets at the Infected Leaper Zombie. The ILZ was hit in three places, the head, the torso and its leg while one bullet caught the soldier's hand giving him something new to think about. The leaper screeched and slammed uncoordinatedly into the side of the soldier, knocking bothe either dead or unconscious
Rek scrambled to his feet and as the grenade exploded begind him he had miscalculated the distance he was from the frag and he felt a wave of heat and heard above the explosive, a deathenong roar. He was thrown back to trhe ground, face forward. While the Brute reared up and fell backwards, it's groin and legs nearly blown away, leaving burning chaff still smoking on its body. It felt no pain but its ability to move was ultimately dimished.
Daran fired at the crowd of dwindling numbers of zombies and smiled as he finished them all of. Hoisting his rifle in a triumphant pose, his guns barrel still smoking. He smiled. "Phew."
Rek scrambled up and arter glancing sround, even though he could still hear infected moving in the distance he was sur they were nowhere near yet. "Clear! Everybody okay? Shannon?"
Two of the choppers set down, and troops piled out. In an inspiring moment, they all formed a perimeter around the group, and held off an stragglers. A general stepped off a third helicopter, followed by a forth transport. "It's good to see that you all made it out alive, but it pains me to do this to you all. Orders are orders though." Jacob looked confused for a moment, but felt the butt of an assault rifle hit his head. As he fell, he saw all the other members of the group get knocked out as well.
((I had to do this to finally advance the plot to where we are in London.))

((read more carefully. "he finnally changed back to his HUMAN form"😉)
carlos stood for a moment, watching th infected diminish under the apache. "all right, here comes the cavalry!" he approached one heli as it landed. "hey guy's, thank's for coming but you're a little late for the fi-" a marine wearing a gas mask slammed him in the back of the head, hard. he fell to his knees and hands, struggling to stay concious. "hey jones, hit him again, he's still awake." the soldier nodded and brought up his rifle again. carlos spun slowly to try and block but wasn't fast enough. he fell to the ground, his eyes falling on the general and the men around him who were collecting the unconcious bodies of his friends. his eyes turned a milky white just before he was greeted by darkness.
just over the next hill, an infected wolf howled angrily, a female walking up behind and joining him.
