4 weeks earlier

We have been at the hotel, for four weeks, Harry and Liz have learned so much in a short time.

The first week was clean up, me a Harry went floor to floor and Killed of the guess that turned. Harry learned how to not fire his gun so much!

easy kills without making a sound.

The art of mêlée combat, his first mêlée kill was an old man zee.

funny because the zee was sitting on the toilet, I guess the guy had a heart attack while taking a dump!

 

The second week, the three of us reinforced the fifth floor, grabbed some keys from the hotel manager zee, To lock doors! we cleared the stairway blockade. And used chains the lock stairway doors.

"Easier entry and exit!"

"Week 3"we headed into town to grab supply's, and maybe some food.

Mary was getting better, the amputation was a success. Harry suggests we find a wheel chair or prosthetic leg.

Ok let's go, Harry.

"Liz"stay here and look after your mother, me and Harry are going into town, we should be back before sun down! The two-headed out the hotel, locking the main entrance door.Ok let's see where's the nearest hardware store. Oh yeah! There's one at about their blocks away! Well then we can check it, but it may have been looted already. If we can't find anything at the hardware store. Keep a look out for a tool truck, plumber, construction, police, fire trucks, anything that may have tools.

I know! "how about a salt dump truck, with a snow plow." There a construction yard not far from here! The salt trucks are big, strong we can carry anything plus move the road blocks. Zombies will have a hard time climbing up.

Hmm! That's a great idea Harry!

Now your using your head.let's go then.

The street was filled with abandon cars with Skeletons of the past owners who died during the outbreak. keep a eye out for zees Harry, we out in the open now!

the two slowly walked down the street, ok! two more blocks. Almost there. Wait you hear that, the sound of crushing bone, and flesh ripping." There you see it!" it's a razor, in that alley. oh shit! move very slow do not make a sound. Kevin and Harry walked by the razor across the street in the alleyway. The zombie dog, was busy munching on it latiest kill. We knew the pack was not far behind.

Wait Harry said! Did you see that!

The razor was chewing on a guy with a Peg$ leg. We have to go get it!Are you sure Harry, is this what you want to do. Kevin said in a stern voice.

Yes! Mom needs it! let's kill that razor thing, before the pack leader comes.

alright Harry but I'm not going to kill it, "you are!"

Here's the plan I will stand at the alley entrance on the side-walk and call the razor to attack. When the razor charges at me, strike him in the head with my machete." Stand to the side, out if sight, and when it passes into the sidewalk then strike fast and hard like I taught you.ok!" You got it! Harry? Can you do this...

Let's kill that zombie shit! Harry replies. Ok then here's the machete, stand to the side of the building. Kevin walked to the alleyway entrance and called out, to the razor. "Hey you still hungry"

Then come and get me!

The razor looked up and continued to eat. Not paying much attention. What the hell? Hey come on, you mutt. Eat me! The razor continued to eat the rotting flesh.

Lets go Harry, we'll grab it on the way back.They decided to keep walking. Kevin there's a police car about a hundred feet away. Nice lets see what's in it. Harry pop the trunk I'll see if there's shot gun. Grab the two radio, we can use it to radio the fort." Yes got it, said Harry" seems the trunk has been cleaned out, no gun... But wait here's a bullet proof vest, Harry you take it. Put it on now, not best protection against zees but something better than nothing.

Kevin."Lets head to the hardware store, before it gets late."

 

( fifteen minutes later)

"Ok we are here!" Bobby Rays hardware, the store was a small town mom and pop hardware store. Windows are shattered, looks like people have already been inside. Kevin can see from that window, a few items they could use. The Two slowly walked into store. Ok Harry keep watch, I'll grab what we need. Keep an eye out for any zees, or the store owner. Kevin pulls out a small piece if paper." A list."

1. Rope

2. Chain and Locks

3. Hammer and Nails

4. Flash lights and batteries

5. Battery operated Radio

6. Crow Bar

7. ATV Batteries

8. Flare Gun

He managed to get most of the items.. All of the sudden, a man appears.

With a name tag, it says Bobby.

Get the hell out of my store you thieves. "Click..! Bobby has a shotgun and fires it at Kevin.

"Kevin watch out,yells Harry"

Bam.. Bam the shot-gun shells hit the floor. Kevin ducts behind, a tool chest. The shotgun pellets spray the tool chest. Leaving thousands of tiny holes, like a picture of a galaxy. I'm going to kill you thieves, Bam! Click... Bam!... Hitting the items on the store shelf, this guy was clearly out of his mind. He doing more damage to the store, then the items we stole. Kevin Cried out Harry! Any day now...? Harry had never shot a person before. He'd only killed zombies. But he knew that he had to do something, or Kevin was dead. The gun fire stops while Bobby is reloading his shot-gun.

Harry pulls out his old rusty 38mm, aims it at Bobby and pulls the trigger.The bullet missed, Bobby's head. This drew attention, to Harry. He fires a few more shoots, one striking Bobby's leg. But he keep coming. Look here! we got another theft. Ha! ha ha! Time to

Die you scum of the earth. Bobby aims the shotgun at Harry. click click, Harry's out of ammo.

Waaaaaash! Bobby fell to the ground with the shotgun in hand. Some flying object penetrated Bobby's skull. Harry watched in amazement, heart pumping fast, as if he just ran a 10k. "Bird of Prey" Harry that's what I named that move. I'll teach you some day!

Said Kevin. Grab the duffel bag and let's go, get that truck.They both exit the hardware store walking over Bobby's bloody body!

and headed to the construction yard.

 

 

 

 

Chopper Go Back!

Time: (One Month Ago)

 

Mayday..Mayday this is Zombie Slayer aka Sgt Kevin Wilkins,

Of Fort Brag Come in....

We copy... Zombie Slayer what is your location....over

422 north 748 east. At the Hotel

We shot a flare from the roof top...OVER.

Bravo Team David we copy..we heard you loud and clear...

Yes Dave it's me, I'm not dead...yet! Also call me zombie slayer for now on! send the chopper. ASAP... OVER

 

Will do Sir, coming now, shot the flare when you hear blades. "Over and out!"

Great News! We're going to your new home!

3 hours later, the sound of a chopper grows stronger. Quick head to the hotels roof. Harry, Liz Mary let's go leave everything here. All four-headed to the roof.

Kevin shot off a flare, to signal the chopper. the look on their faces was joy like a kid of Christmas morning. chopper pulled in over there heads,

wind blowing strong.

the chopper had a hard time gaining control.

The ladder lowers.

Swinging back and forth. The chopper was getting low on fuel. "Hurry I can't hold her for to long"


David yelled over the radio”.

Kevin grabbed the ladder, and tries to hold it steady, Quick Mary Liz grab on. Suddenly the chopper hits a hard right, while Kevin is still clinging to the ladder. Chopper starts to spin, Kevin hanging on for dear life. We're going down, David tells the pilot to pull up. we need more lift. The building's are causing a wind gust. The chopper is unstable and running out of gas.

Chopper flies off leaving Liz,Harry and Mary behind. Kevin remain holding on, should he let go he falls to his deaf. Kevin yells out “I will come back for you” I promise!

STAY ALIVE!  The chopper fades off into the sunset.

When I woke up, I was in the chopper heading back to the Fort, You have to turn the chopper around, there is people back there! Kevin I'm sorry there's nothing we can do now! We're running on fumes. My mission was to get you back to the fort! I have a plan, we will tell Mr Red the second tanker remains intact. And send out a team to retrieve it. He won't send any troops to save three civilians. But he does need jet fuel.Look down on your left, a massive swarm is headed to the Fort. We need that gas to power the AMD's

So what do you say Zombie Slayer. "Guess I don't have a choice do I, Kevin replies,"

This is only the Beginning!

 

Bloody Streets:

 

Rico is that the hotel? It sure is and it's surrounded by walking zombies and Runners.

We have to get to the fifth floor!

Slayer radio Rynox! Check to see if there still alive.

Slayer picks up the two-way and radios to Harry (aka Rynox)

Rynox come in.... Come in Rynox are you all, still safe? ....

Radio went silent for a moment...

Rynox: Here... Over!

Slayer: are you guys safe...Over

Rynox: we are safe for now, but there coming all over the fourth floor and coming up....Over.

Slayer: hang in there were coming in... Over and out!

Ok guys listen up, Rico, Juan and David give us cover. Shawna your coming with me.

We will draw the zombies out, in the open! “Shawna” you will jump in the plow truck we parked in the back if the hotel.

Ill head to the fifth floor, and retrieve the trucks parts and survivors. On my mark, we will go!

So arm up guys, time to got to war!

Fire at the runners first, Before you know it they will be on you, like a Spider monkey.

It's show time baby! Lets rock the streets with heat. Juan yells and lights a flame thrower, Rico readies his Gatling gun with ammo. Shawna loads a M-16  rifle and set it to three round burst. David unpack a mini AMD. This battery operated machine is a smaller version of a gas-powered AMD G1. David also draws a katana.

(Japanese sword) for close combat if any zees break ranks. Slayer pulls out his machete and wipes it clean then loads a AR15.  Ready up... Bravo team you know what to do! Hundreds of zombies now crowd the hotel parking lot, pushing to get in the front doors.

David' You guys are the best crew, I have ever worked with, if we don't make it,

See you in the other side!

LET'S GO!

Gun fire rained on the hotel entrance way, zombies blood mist the air, legs, arms, heads disintegrate. The running zombies turned to face the shooters.

They looked angry as if we interfered, with their meal.

You want a piece of us, come and get it, you zombie freaks. Said Juan. Burning the zees, that hit the ground.

Rico" On you left! "Runner!" Rico turned and sprayed the runner with the gatling gun. The bullets ripping, through flesh and exit out the back of the zees body, only to strike another zee behind.The runners body turned to jello, by time it reached Rico.

We can't hold them all day! Get your ass up there NOW! And Hurry! David shouted! To Slayer

Pop pop, as the three round burst hit zombies with complete accuracy, from Shawna's M-16 rifle.

at last the hotel parking lot was clearing out! Ill grab the truck from behind the building.

Shawna runs down an ally next to the hotel. She is now out of sight and on her own. Slayer heads for the entrance. He puts away his AR15, and draws the machete. At the door a zee confronts him. He slashes the zees stomach spilling guts like spaghetti. Then bashed the zombies head open with the back of the machete handle. Slayer continues up the steps.

Out side Rico, Juan and David finish cleaning up the streets. The flame thrower burns the remains insuring they do not rise up. Juan walks over the dead zombie body's which now cover the street, suddenly a zee grabs his leg. To close to use the flame thrower, Juan grabs his bat, but it gets jammed up on his back pack. It's to late.” The zombie bit into Juan's ankle.

Fuck! It bit me, NO! Juan cries out , NOOO! He then takes the bat, and smashes the zombies brain, over and over! God No! It bit me.

I'm fucked... David, and Rico Watch and they know what's about to happen! I'm sorry bro, ill see you in the other side! Juan cries.

He pulls out his side arm, points the gun to his temple, and pulls the trigger. BAM!

Tears roll down Rico face! ok let's get on with it. Rico says with angry look on his face.

Pop pop! Shots fired, sounds from the back of the hotel. David and Rico run to the back of the hotel, leaving the mini AMD behind, no time to pack up.

As they run around the corner , Shawna's lying on the ground surrounded by Razors, her M-16 a few feet away. The Razors didn't eat her, they are waiting for something. The sound of heavy, footsteps.

Something big was coming, cars were pushed to the side, by the force of this thing."then it appears"

The Razor Pack leader...

Slayer runs up the hotel steps slicing the zees in the stairway.

Tossing them over the rail as they fall 3 stories hitting the hotel lobby floor,at last fifth floor, the gate to the stairway is locked, HARRY, LIZ... MARY... I'm here open the gate. Liz. Runs to the gate, crying.

My...my... Mom sh.. She's... Gone.

She hands Slayer the keys and he opens the gate. Where is Harry? Liz answer me! Where is Harry!

In 204 with mom..Lets go! stay by me at all times. Slayer runs to room 204 and opens the door!

Harry what are you doing? she's gone! We have to go we don't have much time. Let go! You don't want to watch her turn, trust me I know! You will never get the image out of your head. Leave her or shoot her it's your move. But make it fast time is ticking!Outside the pack leader watches Shawna and

Moves in closer. Then with a large noise it Growls.

This zombie beast has some intelligence. Not mindless zee or Runner. Suddenly the beast grabs Shawna into his teeth and races off. The other razors turn and face David and Rico, they start firing their weapons. Watch the flank, there trying to surround us, get the plow truck.  David you go ill handle this, the falling star, remember. Go now go!

Rico firing the Gatling gun in all directions razors are fast, a few went down but not as fast as normal zees. AAAHHH! Die!

... The guns barrel began to glow red-hot as the bullets ripe through, every zombie dog. Even on three legs they continued to come. Run David! Go now. David stop firing and ran to the snow plow truck.

As David starts the truck, he witness the Razors ripping Rico apart limb from limb. a few razors jump into the back of the truck climbing over the load of salt.

David pulls a lever and pours the load of salt on the ground! A few razors got stuck in the pile. A window breaks, in the passenger seat next to David...

Slayer, Liz and Harry are now at the hotel lobby entrance. Where's the truck? Says Harry...

"Suddenly!" A loud crash!

It's the truck, Davids dead body in the front seat,more razors surround the truck.

Liz yells oh my! Look zees,

Standing in the front of the hotel, Liz, Harry and Slayer watch as zees come from the left and on right razors. Now looking at them. It's over for us isn't, it Kevin!  Liz with tears rolling down.

Foot steps from Behind them, some thing is coming down the steps. When it seems they realized what the foot steps were!

It was Mary, she had now turned into a zombie.

A razor ran toward them, with incredible speed, this is it guys, it will be over in a minute...

The razor runs pass, them and attacks Mary the zombie, behind them. Suddenly the other razors started attacking the zees. Like there was a gang war, red vs blue. Hurry let's go! Follow me! They ran for a few blocks, until they reached the tanker. Harry i mean Rynox, you got the distributor. I sure do, let's go. Slayer and Rynox installed it. Detached the solar charger still attached. And the tanker started up.Time to go home, boys and girls.

There's a storm coming. And we need to get this gas back. Before it rains.

While adjusting the mirror,

the Zombie Slayer notice a figure.

It appeared to be a man walking with dogs on a leash.

 

Slayer whats the matter? Said Liz

 

Nothing... Nothing at all!

The tanker pulls off headed to Fort Brag.

The tanker races down the highway.knocking abandon cars, and killing lost zombies that hang in the road. Harry and Liz are sleeping in tanker trucks rear cab.

They look so peaceful, after everything that happened, on the hotel streets. I guess they feel safe with me. Slayer the Zombie Slayer,

I like the sound of that.

My children never got to be teenagers. I guess Harry and Liz are my own now. I will do my best to protect and train them to become slayers.

 

Shawna, Rico, Juan and my good friend David all gave there lives.To help me save them. And when I'm dead and gone, the next generation will continue to fight on.

How long was a sleep? Said Liz

Hmm about an hour or so! Slayer replied. You know I been thinking

Liz should I wake Harry up!

No that's ok! Let him his body needs the rest. Oh yeah and call him Rynox for now on. Slayer stats.Your new name is Angel!

Every zombie slayer needs a cool name. This will boost the morale of everyone you meet. And give hope to those who need it.

 

Liz. But.. I haven't killed any zombies yet! At least Harry I mean Rynox killed two or three.

When the time comes you will, trust me you will. Slayer says in a low tone of voice.

Like a shiny land missile the tanker, travels down the road. Wind blowing through the windows. as Angels hair flaps in the wind. She gazes at the rear view mirror, and day dreams.

Slayer stares at the long stretch road in front of him. Sweating from the summer heat. What was your family like, I mean before the infection spread, if you don't mind me asking. Said Liz

 

Well my wife was beautiful long red hair, green eyes. Her name was Melissa. My two sons Timothy age 8 and Barry age 6.They were so energetic young men. My family never had a hard life, I made sure everything was taken care of.

Timothy played baseball at a local little league, two home runs in one game so I was told. I didn't see many games, I was always on duty. Barry was not into sports much, but he loved to read books. He was very smart, made honor roll every year. I regret not being there as much as I should have...

Slayer got quite for a moment...

I should have been on that plane,with them. My wife's mother got sick and they had to travel, to Philadelphia PA on the east coast.

 

(Reno Air lines)

Hey dad! were on an Airplane can you believe it, Said Barry talking in his mother's cell phone.

Yes I know Barry, and you are going to get on another plane on the way home. At our base I have been on many Airplanes and helicopters.

Let me talk to him now, said Timothy. Dad.. Dad are you going to be able to make it to my next game, it's the play off you know.

Ok! Timothy ill see if I can get some time off, to come watch you play.You holding that bat like a showed you right. Yes dad i always do, how you think I am able to hit those home runs. Timothy replied. Melissa tells Timothy to say good-bye, and to speak with there father.ok good bye dad we love you here's mom...

Hey honey! How you doing, out there on that base.Melissa asked.

I'm doing ok, but something is about go down. The military has everyone on stand by. Currently we all on a level 5 code Red. When the planes lands keep your cell phone on, I may need to call if there is an emergency. So what do you think is going to happen? Melissa asked. I can't speak about it now over the phone. But I will say mention one thing the military is fort up Fort Brag. Out side our home town. So they are preparing for something. Kevin says over the phone in a soft voice. But what and where.. Sudden interruption: This is your captain speaking, we are experience some rough weather ahead please fasten seat belts and turn off all mobile devices.

Bump bump. The plane shakes for a moment. What happen? Kevin cries over the cell phone... no responses... Hello! Melissa you there! Hello...Beep beep beep. The cell phone shows a signal loss message.

That was the last time I heard there voices... The plane went down over Ohio. The rumor says the pilot was infected and turned zee mid fight. Later records showed that he was bitten,

The day before. A signal tear rolls down Kevin's face.

I'm sorry to hear that Kevin, I didn't know,said Liz.

That ok! I'm just glad it was a faster way out of this world. Then being eating alive by zombies.

If I die I want to go out killing as many of those freaks as possible.

And I'm going to train you and Harry to do the same. Liz doesn't say a word, instead she stares at the truck mirror. Kevin didn't notice but Harry was awake and heard everything Kevin said.

Teach me ill kill every last zombie on this planet,Harry replied.

The tanker truck races down the road, smashing zees as they crawl along the road center lines.

At last we are here, "Fort Brag"

Liz and Harry watched on with excitement. Yes Harry we made it,Liz shouted.

Looking at the 15 foot walls made of shipping containers. What are those guns mounted on the walls,Harry asked.

You are looking at state of the art, military grade AMD's automatic motion detecting gunners.These weapons will fire on any thing moving outside the wall. But don't worry they only turn them on when there are large hordes of zombies near.You see those lights on top of the guns. When they turn red there armed. When green your ok to enter, Kevin answers. Who are those guys other there, and what are they doing. Oh them!
