Zombies Walk!

[Jedi_Man]

( I hope that the soldier that shot Chev wasn't me... or else I'm royally screwed)

Sam had been watching from the shadows, the horde thinning, only to return, and he heard the conversation between Vlad and Co- no, Aiden. His Father, whenever he talked about his missions in the Special Forces, alwys had a good thing to say about Aiden. His superior officer, Aiden was taken off the field on a stretcher, which wasn't like him apparently. And Sam knew that, he'd met Cor- err, Aiden several times, his father dragging him to dinners and parties where Aiden was.

Sam saw the second horde, and thought about helping, he knew they'd really want to knock his skull in, but if he happened to save their butts they'd be grateful, or atleast less inclined to crush him. Sam left his uncle to snipe the horde, and he ran forward, firing his AKM ( Sam figured out its designation later) into the oncoming horde. The group stopped for a second, staring at him.

Am I really this crazy... Yep, you betcha! Sam thought as he continued to fire into the evergrowing horde.

[Ataris]

Aiden turned to find Vlad...and he was running away. He watched as the Major fled with his team. And he obviously couldn't follow. The Major was doing his duty as a Russian.

 

Perhaps they would meet again.

 

But, hopefully, it wouldn't be in battle....

 

Aiden watched as the horde died off slowly and then began to flee. The helicopters wiped out the stragglers. And it was over.

 

He turned towards the older woman, Atrianna. "Vlad's just doing his job," he stated.

 

But deep down, he knew that this was not a good thing for the Americans at all. A war with Russia seemed inevitable....

 

Looking around, he glanced at someone who looked familiar. It appeared to be the one shooting at Atrianna earlier. Then he remembered. His father was an American that had been put into Aiden's squad. But he couldn't remember whether the man had died on Aiden's last mission or not.

 

It might be best to let him approach you, then.

[Jedi_Man]

The horde pithered and died away, and Sam walked over to Aiden.

"Last time I saw you, you where in the hospital, waiting to be debriefed. or so my dad had told me. after your one mission, the one noone's supposed to know about? my dad drank a little to much." Sam said, then Smith came over and pointed his M9 in Sam's face. Things always go down hill for me, dont they? Sam looked at Atrianna, she was doing better, and then he looked at Aiden, pleadingly, hoping he could stop Smith. Or else Sam's uncle would take drastic measures.

[Ataris]

(Jedi_Man, I wasn't in the hospital before that mission, I was at the base...and if your dad was a part of that mission, then he would be dead from the nuke they launched.)

 

"Sir." Aiden reached into his left pocket and pulled out an inconspicuous card. On it was his identification for the Bulgarian team he had led. And nearly died for. He handed it to the American.

 

"This identification checks out, but that leaves the question of why you were with the Russians," Smith said.

 

"We were captured sir, by force." Aiden winked at Atrianna as Smith turned to Sam again.

 

"Sir, I knew this man's father. He was a part of my team once. I still don't know what became of him."

 

Smith lowered his pistol and ordered his men to bring Sam back to the base. "Aiden Valko."

 

"Sir?"

 

"Don't call me sir. You are no longer a part of the military, and, for the time being, you and this woman here will be under my hospitality. You are to follow my orders without question. Is that understood?"

 

"Yes, ma'am." Smith walked away.

[CommanderQ]

Vlad watched the situation unfold with Aiden and Attriana through his red scope. He saw no hostility, though possibly a little from Aiden. But now he was confident they would be safe.

 

He looked to Yuri and whispered, "Let's make for the subway."

 

"Comrade, the area is probably overrun."

 

"Not where base camp 1 is, those guys could fight their own war for decades and not die, I know them too well."

 

Vlad motioned for the group tp follow him into a dark subway entrance.

 

Into the unknown.

[Jedi_Man]

( Oh, sorry about that, I just assumed thats what happened to you after your near changing. also, my Dad wasn't with you all the way, he was a ways back, with the group you fell back to then was knocked out by.)

Sam sighed, but this could present a whole new set of problems... Nah, He could trust Aiden with his life. His father had. Sam had no intention of getting into any more skirmishes with Attrianna, and hopefully not with any military force. Sam's uncle came out of the foliage, holding his sniper rifle high.

[ForeverNight]

Smith let out a sigh as the Helos showed up and started pounding the ground with their missiles and and minigun rounds. The zombie horde that had appeared was quickly crushed under the onslaught and Smith was allowed to turn his attention to less pressing matters.

 

"Lieutenant, no, Specialist Larson." He called. "Front and center."

 

Guessing he had a few minutes before Larson would show his face, Smith opened up a radio channel to the helos above. "So, you finally show your collective faces." He drawled into the radio. "This is Lieutenant Colonel Smith, United States Army, whose the ranking officer aboard?"

 

"Sir! Lieutenant Commander Charleston, sir!"

 

"Charleston, there's a Russian base about a half-click from here. Think we could drop a Daisy Cutter on it?"

 

Receiving a double click in lieu of a positive response, Smith settled back into the frame of the overturned HMMWV and waited for the sound of whatever would drop the massive bomb.

[Ataris]

(Hey, ForeverNight, sorry for giving you dialogue, thought maybe you'd left or something.)

 

Aiden turned to the (older?) man whose father had served under him. "I'm sorry, but could you remind me of your name?"

 

Atrianna walked away in silence, and another man holding a sniper rifle came out from among the trees, and nodded at Aiden.

[Chevron 7 locke]

Atrianna was already planning her escape before she heard the planned bombing of the Russian base camp

 

Atrianna and the American Military were not on the best of terms

 

After all, the Military hated deserters, even when they were justified in leaving

 

She had to warn the russians before they dropped the bomb

 

Or did she?

 

Look what they did to America!

 

That wasn't Vlad's fault, He's here to help us!

 

He's taking orders from the same people who sold the bomb to the terrorists in the first place!

 

He feels guilty about what his country has done...you should forgive him and warn him and his men

 

"That settles it, I have to warn him"

 

Atrianna quickly ran off in pursuit of Vlad and his men

[ForeverNight]

((No problem, Ataris, I was just really busy. Getting home from school, doing homework, going to sleep and repeating it again.))

 

Smith saw the girl rush off to warn 'Vlad'. He brought up his M-4 and gauged the distance before giving it up as a bad show and shaking his head slightly. He wished that he could bring himself to hate Vlad, to hate anybody who helped him, but he couldn't, the brief conversation he'd had with the Russian Major had left a favorable impression on him and he almost liked the Russian.

 

"Charleston, how long on that Daisy Cutter?" He asked quietly over his radio.

 

"One Five minutes, sir." Charleston's voice replied. "The BUFF had to be warmed up prior to launch."

 

"Roger, out."

 

Fifteen minutes.

 

"Larson!" He called out, where was that kid?

[CommanderQ]

Vlad moved carefully as he activated a flare and tossed it into the hall in the subway. A bright red light temporarily blinded everyone, revealing nothing but an empty corridor. It was the quiet places, like this, that were the most dangerous.

 

Vlad slowed his breathing and moved carefully forward, AK-47 at the ready.

 

They continued down numerous stairs until reaching the main station, so far, without resistance.

 

Vlad gulped and moved to cover near one of the ticket booths. His men relaxed for a second.

 

"Let's take five here. Then we'll move down the tunnel. You up for it, comrades?"

 

Yuri and Vassili nodded, but Boris put on a smile, and slowly said, "Yes, Comrade Major, we're up to it."

 

Vlad smiled and reloaded his weapon. He relaxed, but he had also forgotten to check the ticket booth that he was resting in.

 

He heard a scream and looked behind him.

 

Right in time for a zombie to tackle him.

[Chevron 7 locke]

Atrianna caught up with Vlad just in time to see him get tacked by one of the undead

 

The undead just seem to adore this guy

 

Atrianna fired her shotgun and blasted the creature right in the head

 

"Vlad Vlad Vlad...what would you do without me?"

 

Atrianna put on her serious face and told Vlad what she knew

 

"Listen to me, The Military is planning to bomb your base camp...I don't know how much time you have before they hit it."

[CommanderQ]

Vlad smiled when he saw Attriana gun down the zombie.

 

But that soon changed as he learned the American force's plan.

 

He nodded, "Thanks for the info...Attriana."

 

Boris brought the radio to Vlad, "Lieutenant Borodin wishes to speak with you."

 

Vlad took the radio, "Yah Borodin?"

 

"Comrade Major! We were wondering what happened to you! It is good to hear your voice! What are your orders, Comrade?"

 

Vlad changed his tone of voice, "Evacuate to the tunnels. We'll meet you there. The American troops are not liking our presence."

 

The other side of the radio was quiet for a second.

 

"War, Comrade?"

 

"I don't know that, Borodin. Get out of there, now."

 

"We'll see you in the tunnels. Good luck, Comrade Major."

 

Vlad shut off the radio, and then looked to Attriana.

 

"So, do you want to join the 'Special Forces?"

[Chevron 7 locke]

Atrianna considered the offer for a moment

 

Hmmm...I could join the military again...I could have a fresh start in the Russian army, Plus I'd be able to annoy Vlad whenever I wanted. Not a bad offer

 

"I need some time to think about that...I am considering the offer though."

 

"Listen Vlad, I have a safehouse in the area, do you want to head over there to stock up a bit on ammo and supplies?"

[Jedi_Man]

(Like I said before, My comp is on the Fritz, no internet for me, I have to use the internet cafe's to acces teh forum. and ataris, my guy is younger. and FOrever, sorry about controlling you too, thought it would make sense... sorry)

Sam was chatting it up with his uncle, trying to relive some old times back when they'd play COD:4 for hours on end. Then he heard Smith calling him, " SIR YES SIR!!" He belted out, and ran up to him, standing at attention, then Sam realized, his AKM was still held in his hands. He put it at his side, and listened to what Smith had to say... inwardly thinking " I hope this ends well..."

[CommanderQ]

Vlad's winced slightly in surprise.

 

"A safehouse? I didn't realize anything could be kept safe at all during these times. Anyway, yes, that would be most helpful, but I still need to rendenzvous with the rest of my company."

 

Vlad looked cautiously around the area again.

[ForeverNight]

"Larson, care to explain what you're doing not in a hospital?" Smith said to Larson after he stood to attention. Not even bothering to return the salute of the Lieutenant. "After that, care to explain what you're doing AWOL?"

 

Smith allowed himself a small grin of vindictive pleasure, there were few things in life he enjoyed as much as cutting new lieutenants who never went through college and were never sergeants down to size.

 

"It's not that I'm trying to come down on you like a ton of bricks," Smith said at Larson's uncomfortable face. "But you've got to learn one thing about the Army, kid, you follow orders. Even if your orders say that you've got to shoot yourself in the head, repeatedly, it's what you do."

 

"Charleston, Smith. What's the ETA on the BUFF again?"

 

"About one-zero minutes."

 

Vlad, I'd hate to blow you to hell, but this is war. Smith thought to himself as his mental countdown began.

[Ataris]

(Hah, the irony...here I am sick for a week...)

((Anyone mind if I alter the age of my character to like, 21? We all seem to be like 25+.))

 

Aiden was taken by surprise as Atrianna bolted towards Vlad. He saw the American officer take aim, but it looked flawed to him. It seemed he was unnoticed at the moment.

 

Maybe the best thing we can all do is just run...

 

He walked over to the talkative Sam and his uncle, and whispered into Sam's ear.

 

"I think we had better leave now."

 

Luckily Aiden still might have some influence over Sam, having led his father in combat. Unfortunately, in this case, it seemed to him that it wouldn't be a good idea to become a "guest" of the Americans.

[Jedi_Man]

Sam nodded at Smith, then looked at Aiden... " Yeah, lets get out of here, but I think we should help Attrianna and Vlad." Sam said. He still felt guilty about everything and wouldn't feel right until he atleast made an attempt to help them, but it was up to AIden in the end.

[Ataris]

Completely unaware of who had been listening, Smith kept on waiting for the bomb he had just ordered to drop.

 

"Well, we can't help Vlad now. Maybe it would be better to go out on our own anyway. I'm sure we'll find him later. Now let's run!"

 

As they ran into the bushes, several gunshots were heard, and it looked as if they were being followed. Suddenly, Aiden felt a burning pain in his leg, but he didn't stop moving.

 

He could already feel the wound slowly start to feel better, even though he knew that his body couldn't possibly heal that fast...or could it?

[CommanderQ]

Vlad's head snapped back towards the direction of the gunfire he heard. He looked closely in that direction, but quickly dismissed it.

 

"So, where's safe nowadays? We must find that safehouse. There is little time left."

[Chevron 7 locke]

"Trust me Vlad, the safehouse is safe. The door is solid steel and can only be opend with a key that I carry with me at all times."

 

Atrianna looked down at her shotgun and realized that she only had four shots left to it

 

"As soon as we get there, I'm swapping this thing out for my Mini-gun, at least I won't have to worry about lacking any firepower."

 

"Oh right, the safehouse should be on south steet. we should be close to it, when we get there, you and your men can take a rest, grab some chow...plan your next move."

[CommanderQ]

Vlad nodded and motioned for the troops to follow him.

 

He loaded another mag into his AK.

 

"Lead the way, a good rest may be what my men need."

[Chevron 7 locke]

Atrianna motioned for Vlad and his men to follow her out of the subway

 

Knowing my luck, the safehouse will most likely have undead around it

 

Atrianna peeked out of the subway entrance and saw one of the undead walking down the opposite side of the road away from them

 

Finally, some good luck

 

"Stay quiet...I really don't want any of our undead friends following us and finding the safehouse."

 

Huh, we must have come out close to the safehouse then I thought, It's only one block from here.

 

"Listen, when we get to the safehouse, you and your men need to follow the exact path that I take to get in. I..left a few suprises buried under the lawn when I last I was there, Explosve suprises."

[CommanderQ]

Vlad nodded and smiled,"We understand, not a step different. No mistakes."

 

Vlad looked to Yuri behind him, who nodded in agreement.

 

Vlad turned back to Attriana and gestured with his head that they should get moving. Vlad's ears and eyes were becoming sharper to the sounds and sights of the undead.
