Fandom The Walking Dead: Roads

[Yanipurr]

"sure riding shotgun would be nice" i said as i walked over to him to get into his car with my helmet in hand which i picked up and i saw what he had in his trunk of his car "what you owned a armory or something you got enough guns to supply a squad or even more here" i added when i saw what was in the trunk of his car.

 

[BloodThunder27]

I closed the trunk before I joined him in my car. "I did have an armory. I'll give a gun later. You look like you can handle yourself." I said as I started the Engine up. "I just came back into town to see if I can find any more survivors. I can squeeze in three more people after you. But first, I should probably arm you." -I turned onto a desolate road, although there were some abandoned vehicles, they weren't blocking my path. "Guess it's a good thing I do weapon collecting and stocked up on ammo." I continued to keep an eye out for survivors.

 

[Yanipurr]

"Yeah i came into the city to do the same like i said before sticking as a group is smarter than alone and i could do with a weapon i only have my brass knuckles at the moment i guess people with hobbies can help out" I said looking out for any survivors "i guess its a bit out of place to say this but nice car"

 

[BloodThunder27]

"Why thank you. She's my pride and joy." I commented on the Charger. I took a quick peak at the backseat, wondering what I could arm my companion with, as there were plenty of weapons to choose from: There was a Glock 17 Handgun, an MP5A4, a Remington 870 Shotgun and a Hunting Rifle.

 

[Yanipurr]

I decided i wouldn't question what he decided to give or even tell him which i wanted a guns a gun after all and whichever it is its better than nothing, "you done work on her yourself i bet that was pricey " i said making small chitchat about his charger wondering what it's top speed and horsepower are but deciding not too ask thinking 'now is not the time or place'.

Me: "Oh no!" *rapidly grabbing phone* "I forgot to call Kanine back...." *looks at phone*


~Battery low: 12%~


Scar: "I can't get back up north so I can't get him unless he makes it down this way somewhere" *beeping the horn trying to get onto the street*


Me: "I know, I guess I can tell him to get on 7th ave and trek southbound... either way he's getting outta harm's way." *dials Kanine*


[phone rings]


Me: "Pick up.......pick up..." *fidgeting with my legs*


Scar: *looks over at me*


Kanine: Hi this is Kanine Goode sorry I wasn't able to take your call, please lea--


Me: *hangs up* "UUUGGGGHHH Noooo!!! He's not answering!"


Scar: "Hey calm down he's probably outside with all the noise just leave a message."


Me: *calls back, nervous*


Scar: *begins to scoot in the street*


~Cars behind us press down on their horns with fury.~


[HONNNNNNKK!!!! The sounds of endless muttering from rushing voices all around surrounds us]


Driver: *inaudible shouting*


Kanine: Hi this is Kanine Goode sorry I wasn't able to take your call, please leave your name and number and I'll be sure to get back at you. *beeps*


Me: "Baby it's me Destiny PLEEEASE be okay I'm calling to tell you I had to divert south Scarlet picked me up we're going down on 7th ave babe. Listen if you can't get there just PLEASE find somehwere safe and stay in the rabies is getting serious a man was attacked right in front of me, so PLEASE babe just stay safe I'll meet up with you if I can we're going back to campus....." *hangs up*


Scar: "He's okay, he'll be fine he can take care of himself."


Me: *says nothing, worried*


~A horde of pedestrians begin running towards and past us. Their faces of awe, fear, and screams of panic notify us to a darkening truth~


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/scene5.jpg.fc3d61cef4eacba217080d0f137f3f7f.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20150" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/scene5.jpg.fc3d61cef4eacba217080d0f137f3f7f.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Scar: "Oh shit...."


Me: "Why the hell are they running north Scarlet...."


~People bump into the car as they run past. Impacts of their bodies against the metal sounds harder and louder than anticipated~


Scar: *beeps horn aggressively* "WATCH OUT FUCKING MORONS!!!!"


Me: *looking all around at the panic* "Maybe we should go too.."


Scar: "We JUST got southbound now you wanna go back north!?"


Me: "Look at Times Square sweetie it's fucking ridiculous!!!" *points into the chaotic fray*


Scar: "What about my car Destiny I'm not leaving it!!"


Me: "Then park it!!! We'll come back and get it okay? If something happens to it I'll help pay for whatever but right now WE NEED TO GET TO SAFETY." *urging to Scarlet*


Scar: "Okay, okay." *begins to push towards a parking space*


Me: "We're literally in the midst of Times Square so finding a place shouldn't be hard....unless you wanna keep on south?"


Scar: "No we need to find a building with a lot of space and just chill. Let NYPD and the military handle this."


Me: "That's the thing though!! The military is here!!! This shit must be critical if they're here....they might quarantine us..."


Scar: "Hey, don't say all that maybe call your dad and get us out of here!" *pulls up behind garbage truck, parks right outside of McDonalds*


Me: "Heeeeck yes." *dials Dad. Phone rings*


Norton: Hello?


Me: "Dad!!"


Norton: Hey Destiny what's going on?


Me: "New York City is under citywide curfew! There's a rabies outbreak and the military is out here dad."


Norton: What?? How long ago?


Me: "Uhm, like the first incident was three hours ago. It came from Jersey to NYC and now it's getting crazy.."


Norton: Where's Hope?


Me: "Mom's still at work she's helping the staff treat victims and also researching the virus I think..."


Norton: Okay listen to me, where are you now?


Me: "I'm with Scarlet. We're parked in Times Square we're about to go by foot to a safe shelter..."


Scar: *looking over at me in curiousity*


Norton: Listen, get to a building that will take you up on the roof somewhere, at LEAST two stories okay? Do you hear me?


Me: "Yes sir, when I get to the roof then what?"


Norton: Standby. I'm going to call your mother and then get all of this squared away. Do not leave that roof Destiny.


Me: "Okay, got it."


Norton: .........I love you Destiny.


Me: "Love you too dad. Oh hey my battery is on like 10% okay? So call when you can."


Norton: Alright. Get to where you're going double time.


Me: "Kay!" *hangs up, rushing* "We gotta go now Scar. Dad told us to find at least a two story building that we can access a roof to."


Scar: *eyes widen as she stares to something beside me*


[PING!]


???: "Waaaaaaaagh!!!"


~suddenly something impacts Scarlet's passenger window.~


Me: *slightly jumps* "Ohh!! What the?" *scoots away from window*


Scar: "Holy shit it's one of those infected! Come on Des!" *opens driver side door and pulls me along*


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/windowzombie.jpg.f1680bd7efe7f1154cb96319a980826b.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20151" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/windowzombie.jpg.f1680bd7efe7f1154cb96319a980826b.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Me: *scoots over to driver side and exits after Scarlet*


[The crowd screams as they run around the main attraction of Times Square, staring around rapidly in many directions for anyone resembling a rabies infection.]


Scar: *looks at what hit the window and her jaw drops* "Oh my God....Des she's....she's infected.."


Infected woman: "Waaaahj! Gwwaaagh!" *looking at me, reaching arms out*


Me: "Come on let's go!!!!" *takes Scarlet and runs out onto Duffy Square*


~Hordes of people push and rush past us as my backpack and purse knocks me around. Still, I don't release Scar's hand~


Me: "Move! Scuse' us!!! Agh!"


Scar: "Stay close to me Des!!" *gripping my hand*


~We both stop momentarily in the midst of all the ruckus. Not one NYPD officer, EMS, or even fire truck in sight. Screams and rushing of people continue amongst Times Square. The sound of glass begins to break.~


[PLING!! SCRAAAASH!!!!]


Scar: "Oh God better not be my car!!" *looks over to where her car is to see a group of people breaking into chain stores on the strip*


Me: "Holy crap they're raiding places!! This is like some movie type ish!!!" *looking around*


Scar: "Let's go to the top of those stairs!" *pointing at the Duffy Square stairs*


Me: "Go go go!" *pushing Scar in that direction, still gripping her hand*


~swarms of people bump into us, making it difficult to reach our destination only some yards away~


Scar: *running through the stampede* "Ow! Shit! Ugh!"


Me: *trailing right behind her with my hand clenched in hers*


Scar: *finally reaches stairs where a few people scout into the crowd* "Okay....Jesus Christ..."


Me: *turns around and stares into masses of frantic people scattering like roaches*


~Some odd 1,000+ people scant about the streets and buildings of Times Square, their chatter with a mix of breaking glass and honking horns in the distance invade my eardrums.~


Scar: "WE NEED TO GET TO A ROOF RIGHT??" *talking over noise*


Me: "YEAH....UHH...." *quickly scans the area, spots a roof area behind large billboards of a 2nd story building* "THERE!!!" *points to the building, realizing the large tower structure that reads 'American Eagle Outfitters' above it.* "American Eagle!!"


Scar: "I SEE IT!! IT'S REALLY CLOSE, STICK BY ME!" *bracing to run into massive crowds*


Me: "LET ME LEAD!!! GRAB THE BACK OF MY SHIRT AND DO NOT LET GO!!! READY!?" *stepping in front of Scarlet*


Scar: "YEAH, GET IT!" *tightly grabs the back of my shirt for dear life*


Me: "......GO!" *sprints out into the crowd and shuffles my way through rampaging pedestrians* "MOVE!!! THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY!!! GRRGH!!" *badgers through intercepting runners* "AUH!!....." *gasps hard, stops*


Scar: "What is it--" *stops, locks eyes on white eyed man in front of us*


Infected Man: "Jgaaagh...." *walks towards us.....with one arm broken*


~Suddenly a man in a sleeveless zip up hoodie appears inches behind the infected man...the last thing I see before closing my eyes is him pull up a crowbar, as he swings it at the side of the infected man's face.~


Man with crowbar: *swings* "Grrrrr!!!"


Me: "OHHHHHH!!!!!" *instinctively closes my eyes*


Scar: *screams, covers mouth*


Me: *I feel warm fluid splatter over my face as my eyes are closed, and I can hear Scarlet's screams along with the sound of a blunt object connecting with the man's skull*


Man with crowbar: *digs crowbar out of infected, sprints away*


Scar: "DESTINY!! GO GO!! OH MY GOOOOODDDDD!!!" *pushing me around the corpse*


Me: *opens eyes and begins to run around staring at the half faced corpse*


Scar: "GO DESTINY...!" *tearing up*


Me: *begins to run but stops again at the sight on the sidewalk in front of American Eagle*


[WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! BAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAA!!! !OH GOD NOOOOOOOOO!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!]


~There, a man is being not only attacked by the rabies infected people.....but eaten....eaten alive. He screams in horror as a group of infected literally tear out his intestine~


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/gore.jpg.7895bea99ec47a566b71fa87dc804c2c.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20152" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/gore.jpg.7895bea99ec47a566b71fa87dc804c2c.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Me: "UUUUGHUH!!!?" *Stomach turns. covers mouth with arm, steps backwards*


Scar: *Gags immediately, hold stomach*


~One of the group locks eyes with me, and begins to rise~


Me: "UOOGH!!" *bolts away to the left, towards American Eagle*


Scar: *screams at the sight of about 6 infected moving towards them from the right of American Eagle*


~As pedestrians run in complete fear, some brush past the infected knocking them down....but others run into the infected, only to be grabbed and faced with the inevitable horrific truth. Death. A group of infected converge on a man knocked down by the stampede.~


Me: *looking at the infected begin to climb on top of the man*


Scar: *takes my face and turns it away* "DON'T LOOK, RUN! RUN!" *pushes into my back*


Me: *bolts onto West 46th street against oncoming but stopped traffic, running against a tidal wave of frantic pedestrians* "Wait! No!! Watch out!!!" *people continue to run past me and my warnings*


~Just a few yards ahead of me, another person goes down to a group of infected individuals as they scream in agony. The infected group covers the full length of the sidewalk.~


Me: *stops, catches a gate door to an alleyway out of my peripheral vision* "Scarlet stay with me!!!" *takes off for the door*


Scar: *gasps* "No no no no no what are you doing Destiny!? Ahhhhhhh!!!" *screams, hanging on to me*


Me: *reaches door and begins to open it*


Infected lady: "Blagh!" *reaches for my arm*


Me: "Guugh SHIT!!!" *jerks away*


Scar: *kicks infected lady in the stomach* "Go now go NOW!!"


Me: *opens doorway into alley*


Scar: *sticks right behind me* "Run go! Go!! They're coming!!!"


Me: *Scarlet releases my shirt as we both free sprint into the alley*


Scar: *looking back* "Oh shit they broke through!!!"


Me: *full speed sprints, moves incredibly fast.*


~Alleyway opens up into a wide area with a 4 way intersection~


Me: *looking to the right down the alley lane I see a waves of pedestrians running through and over each other in the streets*


Scar: "Door dead ahead!!!!" *huffing as she sprints*


[roars of screams and panic citywide]


Me: *running as fast as I can, panting* "Hu.....hgh...." *looks back*


Scar: *screaming* "Go Destiny!!! HURRY!!! *panting as she sprints*


~Blood and trash fills the alleyway~


Me: *sees door up ahead, runs full charge at it* *braces for impact*


Scar: *follows right behind her*


Me: *breaks open door with shoulder* "Agh!" *falls from momentum*


Scar: *instantly picks me up*


Me: *looks up to see a man pointing a gun right in between my eyes*


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/gunpov.jpg.c3971bf4bed5082a3578adca6f4021b5.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20153" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/gunpov.jpg.c3971bf4bed5082a3578adca6f4021b5.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Scar: "WHOA WHOA DON'T SHOOT!!!" *looking up*


Me: *looking up and throughout the room, military soldiers all converge on our location by the door*


Soldier: "Are you two infected!? Answer me NOW!" *pointing gun in between my eyes*


Scar: "NO!!! I SWEAR!" *tears streaming and nose red*


Me: "No...NO...but they're chasing us through the alleyway and we need to get away from them. My name is Destiny Frye I'm a student at NYU and my father is vice superintendent at West Point..."


Scar: "Please! We're telling the truth! Let us IN!!!" *scratchy voice*


Soldier: "Get in here, fast go go." *closes door*


~All of the soldiers lower their weapons~


Sarge: "Step aside" *to soldiers* "How the hell did you find us?"


Me: "We didn't. We were running from.....those CRAZIES out there." *points to the door, just now realizing that I'm trembling*


Sarge: "Who's blood is that on your face?" *all the troops stare at my face*


Me: "What..?..." *touches my face, hand shows faint red spots* "I...I don't know.."


Scar: "It's not hers. Someone freaking crowbar'd one of those things and her blood got on her face..."


Me: *gives a shocked look to Scarlet*


~All of the soldiers take steps back, grips their weapons~


Soldier: ".....and how are you sure you're not infected?" *grips weapon*


Me: "Jesus what do I have to do STRIP guys!? I haven't been bitten nor scratched, the blood didn't get in my eyes or mouth I'M GOOD."


Soldier2: "You didn't even know the blood was on your face until we said something..."


Scar: "She IS NOT infected!!! Don't you have some sort of expert or device that can tell? You're military aren't you!?"


Me: "My mom is a biochemist at NY Presbyterian okay? I know a bit about chemical and viral responses of the body. If I so much as cough the wrong way then by all means shoot me but until then how about we focus on the fact those infected are out there!" *raises voice*


Sarge: "....and you said your father works at West Point?"


Me: "He RUNS it. Captain Norton Frye Sr. He called me and told me to get to high ground, we tried to go up in American Eagle but the infected one are literally eating people....." *stops from thinking about the horrendous images*


Sarge: "Marlon, call it in." *directs to a stout, blue eyed soldier*


Pvt. Marlon: "Sir." *picks up radio and begins speaking* "E-Nest this is Sparrow Delta we are at checkpoint Bravo. We have a situation two civvies just stumbled upon us and one's claiming that she's the daughter of Captain Norton Frye Sr how copy?"


~The room remains silent as the outsdie chaos can be heard through the walls. The entire room bears eyes on me.~


Radio: Uhh...Delta solid copy we're contacting Captain Frye now as we speak can you give us a physical description over?


Pvt. Marlon: "She's about..." *studies me* "Five foot ten, shoulder length brown hair...scratch that light brown hair...light brown maybe a hazel eyes. She has a brown purse and a black and purple backpack. Over"


Sarge: "Check her stuff.."


Soldier: "Sir!" *approaches me slowly* "No sudden moves okay?"


Me: "Okay, here." *hands over purse and backpack*


Soldier: *cautiously takes my belongings, sets them down and searches*


Radio: Copy Sparrow Delta, standby.


Scar: *moves over beside me* "It's going to be okay."


Soldiers 3 & 4: *grips M4A1's with eyes on me*


Me: *remains completely still*


Sarge: "You said he called you...from what number?"


Me: "Actually I called him...I can give you my phone if you wanna see or call him...."


Sarge: "You said he called you."


Me: "Look everything happened so fast okay forgive me if the shock from all this caused me to have some detail slips in what's happened the past few hours."


Sarge: "Why where you out?"


Me: "I was on my way to see a friend, Kanine Goode. When I got to 48th they'd blockaded--"


Sarge: *interrupts* "Who?"


Me: "...NYPD. They blockaded 48th and everything north and said we had to divert south, so I couldn't get to him I called my best friend" *points at Scarlet* "to come pick me up, and when we got to Times Square all hell broke loose..."


Scar: "We seen people being eaten..." *sniffles* "this shit is straight out of a horror movie man..." *shakes head*


Sarge: "Your phone" *sticks hand out*


Me: *pulls out phone, unlocks it and hands it to Sarge*


Sarge: *looks through phone* "...you have two missed calls..."


Me: !? "From who??" *walks up to Sarge*


~The entire squad aims their weapons at me once more.~


Me: *stops* "Easy...easy..." *puts my hands up*


Sarge: "From your dad....and Kanine."


Me: "Oh my God after you search can I please call them back?"


Sarge: *puts phone to his ear* "Hello, who am I speaking with?.........Hello Captain, my name is Sargeant Emon Larcena with the United States Marines. I was just calling to confirm your daughter's identity she's safe and we have her and her friend.........yes sir, she's fine.....sir." *looks at me and hands me the phone* "He wants to speak with you.."


Me: "Be sure not to shoot me when I move.." *takes phone* "Dad?"


Norton: Hey sweetie, what happened? Why didn't you answer my call?


Me: "Dad we were on our way roofside but they...those infected started literally eating people like, on the streets. So Scar and I got away and ran into an alley and now we're with the marines."


Norton: Okay baby, listen, give Larcena the phone.


Me: *gives phone to Larcena*


Sgt. Larcena: *takes phone* "Yes sir......We have three in Manhattan. Columbia University is the north safe zone, NY Presbyterian is the west safe zone, and the Civic Center is the south safe zone......the western RV is the closest.......yes sir......Affirmative sir. We'll have a unit escort them.....we're on orders to contain this problem.......not a problem....yes sir....here." *hands phone back to me*


Me: "Yeah dad..."


Norton: You'll have a team escort you to NY Presbyterian where your mother is okay? That's the western safe zone. Get there and stay by her at all times. I'm going to get you guys out of there you hear me?


Me: "Yes sir. I got it."


Norton: I love you, Destiny.


Me: "Love you too daddy..." *eyes water*


Norton: *hangs up*


Soldier: "Sir, her bags are good, nothing of a threat or harm." *packing stuff back into my pack and purse*


Radio: Sparrow Delta everything checks out on Captain Frye's daughter...proceed with given instructions to the west safe zone. Over.


Sgt. Larcena: "Copy E Nest. Over and out." *looks at Scar and I* "You two with me, stay with the unit at ALL TIMES. Alright marines we're Oscar Mike!! Let's go!!! Mills! Take point!"


Pvt. Mills: "Sir!" *hands me back my backpack and purse* "Sorry about that.."


Me: "No sweat." *staps on backpack, puts purse inside*


Scar: "Soo.....do we get a weapon too?" *looking at Mills' holstered handgun.*


Sgt. Larcena: "Absolutely not. Stick close to the group, period. Alright Delta let's move!" *equips SCAR assault rifle*


Pvt. Mills: *moves toward the front of the building*


Pvt. Marlon: *falls to the back, pushes Scar and I to the middle* "Let's go, stay close..."


Me: "Okay" *grips Scar's hand*

 

[Ch0sen1]

~We follow the unit as we open a door into a nice, quaint bar and lounge with plush leather seats and flourescent lighting~


Soldier3: "Mannnn a bottle of jack sounds good right about now..." *looks at bar*


Soldier4: "Hoorah Dottsen...."


Sgt. Larcena: "Quiet marines! Stay Frosty.."


Me: "Norty would be so jealous of me right now..."


Scar: "Why so?"


Me: "It's like we're in Call of Duty or something.."


Scar: "Bullshit, those people outside aren't enemy infantry..."


Pvt. Marlon: "What do you guys know about these infected people."


Me: "I think it started with Victoria Ramone...she was being airlifted here after being bit in the neck by her husband Jose. The chopper she was on crashed up north and Jose bit another paramedic in Jersey...the paramedic he bit was pronounced dead and then got back up and attacked someone or something...all I know is, they're rabid. They will try to attack and bite like some freaking...zomb--"


Sgt. Larcena: "Cut the chatter!!!" *moving to the other side of the door, where faint screams and noise can be heard*


Pvt. Mills: "Here we go." *opens door as the unit rushes outside and clears all directions* "SHIT! PEOPLE EVERYWHERE! IT'S GONNA BE HARD TELLING THE DIFFERENCE!!"


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/troops.jpg.4f332f14356d4e3cb90f8eee98fe1795.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20154" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/troops.jpg.4f332f14356d4e3cb90f8eee98fe1795.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Sgt. Larcena: "STAY CLOSE!! STAY CLOSE!! MOVE UP!"


[the sound of endless roars and cries breach my eardrums like a tidal wave. Distant sounds of explosion like booms and breaking of glass can be heard from all around.]


~The unit moves up, careful not to fire at any pedestrian~


Me: *sees that we're back on Times Square* "No!!! Times Square is NOT where we need to be right now!!"


Scar: *looks up at the main billboard in the middle of Times Square*


~The billboard shows a helicopter over Times Square. The number of people sprawling the streets and city is unthinkable. The news report title on the screen is 'MASSIVE PANDEMIC IN NYC/SOUTH NJ' small coats of red can be seen littering the streets that can only be inferred as blood...~

Scar: "Oh my God..." *covers mouth* "Destiny look...."


Me: *looks up at the billboard, mouth widens as I remain speechless*


Pvt. Dottsen: "Daaaammmmmnnnnnn...." *looking up*


Sgt. Larcena: "Alright Delta let's hasten up, move up to Broadway and make a left up to 48th. Move!"


~Group moves along to the corner of the block where complete chaos is at hand~


Pvt. Mills: "The hell happened to those NYPD blockades!?"


Pvt. Marlon: "Probably got pushed back....!"


Sgt. Larcena: "E Nest we need a sitrep on those blockades how copy?................okay roger. ALRIGHT UNIT!!! BLOCKADES HAVE BEEN PUSHED BACK TO 51ST STREET!!! WE NEED TO TREK NORTH GO UP THE SIDE!!" *crouches under streetlight and motions us to proceed*


Me: *proceeds to move with group*


Pvt. Dottsen: "Ohhhh shit!!!" *looks up on top of the building where the main billboard is*


~Bodies began to drop from the building as their lifeless corpses splatter upon impact with the pavement~


Me: *stops* "Nooo no nooooo!"


Scar: "Agh!" *jumps back, stumbles into a rapidly moving crowd*


~Scarlet bumps into a pedestrian, knocking him back a bit~


Scar: "Ah, sorry I--" *immediately stops when she sees the man's dead white eyes*


Infected: "Gwaaaagh!!!" *lunges at Scar*


Scar: "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" *squeals*


Me: !?


Pvt. Marlon: "MOVE!" *runs to Scar and melee's the infected man*


Infected: *falls down* "Blgh!"


Scar: "Oh Jesus...thank you.." *sighs*


Pvt. Marlon: "Lets move.." *takes Scarlet*


Infected: *grapples Scarlet's ankle, and bites down*


Scar: "AGGGHH FUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!" *looking down at the infected*


Me: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! SCARLET!!!"


Pvt. Marlon: "No!!!" *Fires M4A1 into infected's head*


Infected: *goes limp*


Me: "NOOO!!!" *tries to go to Scar, but I'm stopped by Pvt. Dottsen* "Noooo!! Get off of mee!!" *tears fill eyes*


Scar: "Ugh....agh..." *stumbles to the ground*


[HONNNNNNNNNKKKK!!!!!! HONNNNKKKKK!!!!]


~An 18 wheeler truck honks as it zooms through 47th street at uncanny speeds, running over infected and regulars alike as their mangled bodies turn to red mush under the force and impact of the vehicle. It narrows in on our location fast, scraping cars aside as it does.~


Soldier4: "Oh shit, incoming mobile get off the streets!!!" *looking at incoming 18 wheeler*


Pvt. Dottsen: *moves me over to the upper sidewalk*


Me: "SCAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRLEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTT!!!!!" *fighting to break free*


Pvt. Dottsen: "RELAX!!! Gr, agh will you STOP!?" *struggling to hold me*


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/ScarletRoomie.jpg.91dd36431fb71e7e0ec992a07456f4a6.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20159" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/ScarletRoomie.jpg.91dd36431fb71e7e0ec992a07456f4a6.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Scar: *looks at bloody ankle, then looks at me* "It's...it's okay Destiny...it's okay..." *trembling*


Me: *not able to hear her because of all the chaos around us* "....Scarlet.." *cries*


~The 18 wheeler begins to swerve out of control, still honking as it loses control and heads straight for the massive chaos in the middle of Times Square.~


Pvt. Mills: "Here it COOOOOMMMMEEESSS!" *falls back under Starbucks on 47th and Broadway*


~The group hides under the cover from the Starbucks, as the speeding massive vehicle spews a trail of red everywhere....and runs right towards an injured Scarlet.~


Me: *looks at 18 wheeler, then Scar* "NOOOO!!! SCAR MOVE! PLEASE!!! PLEEEEEAAAASE!!!"


Scar: *looks back at 18 wheeler, scrambles to get away as the wheeler approaches her body*


Me: "OH JESUS...!" *braces for the inevitable*


~Scarlet is hit by the side of the wheeler, as its force is enough to rip her off her feet and smack onto the pavement. Blood leaks from her mouth and ankle. Her left eye stares directly at me, while her right is rolled into the back of her head.~


Pvt. Mills: "OH MY GOD."


Me: *screams in agony and breaks down crying* "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!"


Pvt. Dottsen: *embraces me tightly* "Oh my God.....it's okay...it's okay..."


Sgt. Larcena: *stares at Scar's corpse*


Pvt. Marlon: *paces in panic, puts hands on his head*


Soldier4: *looks in despair at the mangled body*


~The 18 wheeler crashes right into a heap of stationary cars in Times Square. A loud, chain explosion sets off upon impact of the mass quantities of cars. Flames and scrap metal begin to spread everywhere, sending limbs and corpses across Times Square.~


[bOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!! CRAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!]


~The wave of the blast shatters glass all around us, heat and debris scrapes my face as my eardrums pop from the force of the blast.~

Me: *closes eyes* "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!" *ears ring from pressure of the blast*


Pvt. Dottsen: *shields me*


Sgt. Larcena: "Delta!!! Let's GO! Move up Broadway!!! MOVE UP BROADWAY!!"


Pvt. Marlon: *covers the rear* "Get up, GO!"


Me: *Dottsen picks me up, guides me up the sidewalk of Broadway.*


~The rest of the group converges on us. The entire upper left area of Times Square is now in flames on the street level. Dozens upon dozens of people run away from the monstrous flames engulfing anything that it can compel. People began to move for higher ground in buildings, where in the windows it can be seen that people are being attacked in there as well. Blood splatters upon various windows from high story structures.~


Me: *glancing over into a blood infested Sunglass Hut to my left, I see a crowd of people limping slowly, with bloodied bodies.* "More....more there.." *disoriented from explosion and shock*


Dottsen: "I see him....squad! Hostiles at 9.." *carries me along*


~One infected with some shades on glances and locks on to me, as I stare back at it.~


Shades Infected: "Gwwwwaaaagh...." *beats onto glass*


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/shadeszombie.jpg.aaafec97a727af9af04fae458ccce7a9.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20158" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/shadeszombie.jpg.aaafec97a727af9af04fae458ccce7a9.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


~the entire other group of infected join in on beating the glass, as they groan in a lifeless sort of way. Delta unit speeds up at this indication.~


Sgt. Larcena: "Faster, go go!.." *moves up Broadway*


Me: *ears still ringing from explosion, everything seems slower* [RIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!]


Soldier4: "Whoa whoa!" *stops at incoming swarm blocking us from the north*


Sgt. Larcena: "ACROSS THE STREET!" *commanding over chaos and noise*


Pvt. Mills: "Double Time! Let's GO!!" *takes point, makes it to sidewalk across the street* "Get outta the way people!!"


Dottsen: "You're alright Destiny, you're okay huh?"


Me: [RIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGG] *shakes head* "Yeah, yeah I'm ok.."


Dottsen: "Stay in the game ok? Just three more streets to go" *holds me up, wipes my wet face*


~The heavy panicked crowd rushes and rampages from miles around through Times Square. About 6 choppers overhead can't even be heard due to the unruly ruckus from all around. Windows in the building above Mills across the street shatter and deposit some bodies out onto the street. They fall around Mills and splatter onto the concrete.~


Pvt. Mills: "SHIIIIITTT" *aims M4A1 up at the second floor building*


Soldier4: "I got you Mills!" *aims M4A1 at second floor, moving to Mills*


Sgt. Larcena: "Everyone GO get there!" *pointing SCAR Assault rifle southbound*


Dottsen: *gets us across the street*


Pvt. Marlon: *points M4A1 back towards fiery wreckage*


~The bodies on the concrete begin to slowly move. struggling to get up.~


Dottsen: "HOSTILESSSSSS!!!!! THEY'RE GETTING UPPPP!!!!" *aims assault rifle in other hand at the infected*


Mills: "How the hell can they take that fall!!?"


Me: *looks over shoulder, disoriented. Sees more infected coming behind the unit that no one's paying attention to.* "Shit...."*woozy* "Hey...."


Dottsen: *distracted by infected infront of him*


Group of Infected: *groans as they approach slowly*


Me: .....!! *breathing increases. I turn to Dottsen to see a knife in his shoulder strap, and a USP handgun in his hip holster. The ringing still hits, but I begin to zone it out in pure adrenaline. I take Dottsen's USP and I begin to aim it at the infected.*


Me: *when the iron sight lines up with one infected's head, I pull the trigger...but nothing happens*


Dottsen: !? *looks at me* "What the hell are you doing!?" *sees group of infected* "Shit! Hostiles at 5!!"


Soldier4: "We're going ta' have to shoot our way out!!" *Aiming at the back group of infected*


Dottsen: "Give me that weapon!" *tries to remove handgun from my hands*


Me: "No!!!! I can use it!" *struggles*


Sgt. Larcena: "HEY! ENOUGH!!" *aims SCAR rifle at back group of infected*


Mills: "Aaaagh!" *charges and melee's two infected in back group*


~Infected on the concrete arise~


Marlon: "Shit! Sir! Orders??" *aiming at front group of infected*


Dottsen: "LET GO DESTINY." *pulls handgun away*


Me: "UGH!" *lets go and quickly takes knife from Dottsen's shoulder holst.* "YAAGH!" *turns around and stabs an infected in the heart*


Stabbed Infected: "Gltaaagh!" *lunges over on me*


Me: "AH!" *falls down on my side, hands still on the knife, I drive it deeper*


Stabbed Infected: "Hyaaagh!" *grabs my hair, goes in for my neck*


Me: "Gggggaaaaagh!!!" *resists infected, takes hands and chokes his neck, followed by a headbutt*


Dottsen: *fires a handgun round into stabbed infected's head*


Me: *jumps at shot, blood splatters on neck and my already stained top. I rapidly scoot away*


Larcena: "FIRE!" *pumps SCAR shells into back group of infected*


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/scene.jpg.fb2295bf26f47e9ac5d4bc056d2cb003.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20160" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/scene.jpg.fb2295bf26f47e9ac5d4bc056d2cb003.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Marlon: *fires at front group of infected*


Soldier4: *helps me up* "What are you stupid!? You tryin' to get yourself killed!?"


Me: "I was trying to look out for you all!!!" *stands upright*


Dottsen: *jerks me by the shoulders* "DON'T YOU EVER PULL ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN DO YOU HEAR ME!?"


Me: *pulls away* "Get OFF of me!!"


Larcena: "HEY!!! CUT THE SHIT AND MOVE NORTH NOW!" *putting down the last infected*


Dottsen: *takes me by the arm* "Let's GO!!"


Me: *rushes along with him*


~In the crowd, amongst the masses of terror, chaos, and panic...I scan among the destruction before me as I hastily move through the stampede of disorientation.....until I spot something that makes my bones tremble at its very sight. That involuntarily freezes my body cold with disbelief. Dottsen pulls with all the strength in his biceps, but I pull away and take off towards this sight...~


Dottsen: "DELTA HOLD!!! THE GIRL IS RETREATING!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM!!!" *shouts and chases me through the endless wave of humans*


Me: *bowing over people to get to this unbelievable sight, with no regard or remorse for anything else*


Larcena: "HEY!!! SHIT DELTA HOLD THIS POSITION!" *chases after Dottsen and I*


Me: *breathing rapidly, stopping upon clear sight of this incomprehensible figure before me*


----Endless cries fill the vast urban mecca of New York City. Screeches of sheer terror intertwined with a tone of cataclysm and despair. So much pain, so much agony, so much blood. Splatters of red cover the streets and the surfaces of the stone and metallic structures that compliments the Big Apple with an aura of destruction. Tens of thousands of pedestrians run unruly amongst the unpredictable calamity that has came before them. Wails of fear and panic spread across for miles upon miles. Entrails infest the roads along with lifeless corpses that smother every inch of pavement that can be seen. Crowds clashing with other crowds in violence with a motive of security. Of survival. Masses of people being ran over and ran down in the streets, in and out of buildings, everywhere. Limitless sounds of the shattering of glass, impacts of metal, roars of peril resonate through the vast metropolitan masterpiece. Bodies drop from altitudes that provide certain death, one after another, raining down flesh and bones as the sound of their anatomy exploding against the hard ground causes a amplification of shock. Bursts of shots and angry rants travel the airways to anyone who was focused enough to listen to them. Limping bodies slowly roam the streets out of the horde of humans. Of the wave of corpses littering the roads, alleys, and avenues, a few write in pain, slowly moving in a drive for life...some with blood leaked faces and limb torn stumbles. It's like they're longing for something....those pale, fragile voices of theirs reach out in need for something. They move not budged by the essence of death before them, but rather embraced into it. These frenzied individuals tackle people where they stand, attacking them in a frenzy that only feeds the fuel of the oblivion before this city. This hell. Dozens of helicopters overhead hover over the destruction, and all the brilliant lights and billboards of the mecca all are diverted to breaking news broadcasts. Screeching of tires and crashing of car vehicles into all marks of land join in the fray of a seemingly unending nightmare. Everything's happening so fast, yet time is immobilized. People breaking down doors to infiltrate buildings and shelter, for whatever reasons. In the midst of all this oblivion lies me, unmoved. I look on with a face of shock and awe, but also one of will and drive. Blood spots cover portions of my face, and my clothes are dyed a permanent crimson that wreaks of death and decay. Everything is slow for me. Looking into the sea of danger, my honey eyes lock in on one thing in particular....and then it hit me. That's when I knew. That this wasn't rabies. And then.......


Me: *staring at something that fills me with pure agony, pain, sadness, turmoil....and rage*


Sgt. Larcena: "HEEEEEYYYYY!!!!!" *shuffles through the crowd* "DESTINYYYYYY!!!MOOOOVE NOW!!!"


Me: *Zones voice out*


~The explosion of a car against a mountain of scrap metal breaches my hearing~


Me: *flinches a bit, but remains staring into the chaos...*


Larcena: *sees two slow creeping, bloody pedestrians limp up behind me* "Shit! Destiny MOVE!!!" *raises SCAR assault rifle*


Me: *ignores all surrounding sounds, focuses on object*


Me: *tears up, but still gazing into the crowd at this one figure*


Me: "No........." *eyes filling with tears* "You..." *chokes up*


~Time slows down for me, as I look into the cold, white eyes of the figure. As I look into the cold white eyes of what used to be my roommate...and my best friend~


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/ScarZombie.jpg.c21216c39863c052c45ec92887f8bb7b.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20161" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/ScarZombie.jpg.c21216c39863c052c45ec92887f8bb7b.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Infected Scarlet: *limps directly towards me, arms broken, mouth bloody, face paled.* ".....G...hwwwaaaaaggggh....."


~Suddenly, a young black haired, brown eyed girl approaches me.~ (( @LadyMatsudai ))


Young Woman: ""Hey! Hey! Come on, hun, we have to go," *taking my shoulders and turning me to her*


Me: *looks past her at what I've been staring at this whole time. My best friend.*


[POWW!!! POWW!!!]


~Two gunshots snap me out of my trance as I see two infected bodies fall limp to the ground with red holes in their face directly behind me.~


Me: !? *looks over at Sgt. Larcena*


Sgt. Larcena: "GET OVER HERE NOWWW!!!" *motions to him*


Me: *looks at Young Woman, shocked and confused*

@Bills352


I picked up the Glock and handed it to him. "I put a lot if work into this Charger, so I'm not gonna leave it to rot. It's my life's work. Oh and be careful with the Glock, I'm gonna want it back later." I said as I turned onto another road. I saw a mob of Infected wandering around aimlessly and occasionally bumping into each other. I had two options, but had to decide fast before they noticed me: Accelerate and run the bastards over or turn around and find an alternate route.

 

[LadyMatsudai]

It was all a horrible trip to Hell...everything was falling apart as chaos ripped across all of New York City. This wasn't going to be over with a lot of guns and bullets...no...this was just the beginning and the peaceful few days she had before this...it was just the calm before the storm. The two caps sounding off in the air made Alex cringe, ducking a little at the fear the bullets were targeted at her as she quickly looked up to see an officer of some sort motioning for them to quickly rush to his direction. But the other girl was not moving...


"Alright, come on!" grunted Alex, hoisting Destiny over her shoulders in a fireman carry and started to run right for the soldier, grunting at the added weight, the growling and snarling of the infected encouraging her even more to rush over to his location, quickly dodging left and right before starting to gain ground and come close, careful not to drop the young woman.

 

[Ch0sen1]

~The girl who couldn't have been much older than I suddenly and all too swiftly picks me up and attempts to carry me over her shoulder. An abundance of bodies flood past my view. I could hear screams, cries.....but also growls, snarls.~


Young Lady ((@LadyMatsudai )): *huffing, struggling*


Me: *snaps out of it* "Hey!! Let me go!!" *pushes off of girl and lands on my feet*


Sgt. Larcena: *aiming into the crowd* "LETS. GO."


~Suddenly a body emerges from my left, it grapples me with a very precise force.~


Pvt. Dottsen: *grabs me and quickly pushes me forward* "The hell is your problem girl!? I swear you're not leaving my sight again if you do we will arrest you on disorderly YOU GOT THAT!?"


Me: *rushing along, looking back at the young lady* "...........I saw her Dottsen, it was Scarlet."


Dottsen: *says nothing to me, rushes back to Delta unit*


Sgt. Larcena: "HEY YOU! COME ON!" *directing to Alex in the midst of the masses*


Dottsen: *looking up* "They finally called in the control!"


~multiple helicopters hover and release ropes over different sections of Times Square. Armed forces with riot gear and shields begin to drop by the group.~


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/helidrop.png.159a3277e8ad7295ce48c5b97fe8463c.png" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20294" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/helidrop.png.159a3277e8ad7295ce48c5b97fe8463c.png" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Me: *looking up at the sky, catching dropping bodies from buildings out of my peripheral vision.*


~The crowd roars seemed to have died down, or maybe the choppers have gotten closer, but I am now able to hear the helicopters.~


Helicopter Megaphone: "ATTENTION ALL NON INFECTED CITIZENS! PLEASE DIVERT NORTH TO 51ST STREET WHERE NYPD AND THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WILL HARBOR YOU TO SAFETY! ALL NON INFECTED CITIZENS! PLEASE DIVERT NORTH TO 51ST STREET WHERE NYPD AND THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WILL HARBOR YOU TO SAFETY! ALL NON INFECTED CITIZENS! PLEASE DIVERT NORTH TO 51ST STREET WHERE NYPD AND THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WILL HARBOR YOU TO SAFETY!"

 

[LadyMatsudai]

Feeling the young woman squirm in her arms, Alex struggled to try and keep her calm and collected. "Hey hey! Easy there! Don't move so much!" she grunted, gasping with slight relief to the young woman jumping down onto her feet from Alex's shoulders as the graduate ran her hand through her short black hair. "It's not safe out here! Come on," she encouraged the woman before blinking at the site of the soldiers showing up out of nowhere. They knew each other? Alex wondered how before hearing another man calling out towards her, gesturing at her through the crowds to get to where he was.


Dodging the people dashing for some sort of haven, Alex grunted and finally got to the truck, starting to climb up the vehicle towards Larcena before her ears perked up, her head turning to look up to see a massive military helicopter start to encourage infected and uninfected citizens to go off to different respective locations. "They won't listen to that...what does he mean by infected?" she asked out to Larcena.

 

[Ch0sen1]

Sgt. Larcena: "Hey we got a civvie coming! Provide cover fire!" *talking to military unit as Alex makes her way to the truck* (( @LadyMatsudai ))


Pvt. Dottsen: "Get on." *pushes me up against some military vehicle* "Now, don't move when you do."


Pvt. Dottsen: *to military unit on the truck* "We have specific orders to evac this one to the west safe zone, she's the vice superintendent's daughter at West Point!"


Me: *climbs on back as soldiers help me*

Truck Soldier1: "Roger that! We can take you up to 51st and drop you guys off there!! Let's go!"


~About 12 more civilians manage to pack themselves on the back with us and the troops.~


Young Lady: *climbing onto truck* "They won't listen to that...what does he mean by infected?"


Sgt. Larcena: *ignores Alex and climbs on back* "Alright! We got potential hostiles everywhere! many approaching the truck go now don't risk anymore!"


Me: *looks out at massive crowd of people, as some begin to rush towards the truck* "Uhh....we might wanna go...."


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/crowd.jpg.62d21fc614dc4ccfe3a33b3f50f83be4.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="20694" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2014_06/crowd.jpg.62d21fc614dc4ccfe3a33b3f50f83be4.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Soldier2: *taps driver's side to signal to go*


Helicopter Loudspeaker: "ATTENTION ALL NON INFECTED CITIZENS! PLEASE DIVERT NORTH TO 51ST STREET WHERE NYPD AND THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WILL HARBOR YOU TO SAFETY! ALL NON INFECTED CITIZENS! PLEASE DIVERT NORTH TO 51ST STREET WHERE NYPD AND THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WILL HARBOR YOU TO SAFETY! ALL NON INFECTED CITIZENS! PLEASE DIVERT NORTH TO 51ST STREET WHERE NYPD AND THE UNITED STATES MILITARY WILL HARBOR YOU TO SAFETY!"


Dottsen: *climbs on back as the truck begins to head up north*


Me: *looks around at the diversity of people and soldiers on the back of the truck*


Sgt. Larcena: "Keep an eye on her!!" *points to me*


~All of the truck's passengers turn and eye me in curiosity~


Me: *looks around the truck, stopping eyes on Alex* (( @LadyMatsudai ))

 

[Ch0sen1]

Me: *sees that Alex is silent, thinks about Kanine* "Oh shit...!" *digging for phone*


~Phone Battery: CRITICALLY LOW. 4%. 8 missed calls, 7 new messages, 3 new voicemails. 7:11PM~


~The entire ensemble of the truck looks around at all the chaos~


Me: "Oh my..." *looks at phone*

Me: *breathes deeply, goes to phone keypad*


[HOOONNNNNKKKK!!!!]


~The truck honks at the rabid population all around, as they don't want to risk innocent lives, people converge on the truck as it heads west towards 7th ave.~


Driver: *beeps horn* "GET THE FUCK OUT THE WAY!!! FIND SHELTER!! GO NORTH TO 51ST!!!" *sticking head out of window* 
Me: *calls Kanine, covers other ear to hear better*


[RING......RING....]


Me: *heart drops* "Come on..."


[RING........RING......]


Me: *closes eyes*


Kanine: Hello!? Des!?


Me: *exhales while sobbing* "Oh thank God! Are you okay!?"


Kanine: I.....with....ou..*phone breaks up*


Me: "You're breaking up!!.....What? Where are you!?"


Kanine: Plea....et..ere...I....eth...meri...


Me: "Nooooo! I can't hear you!!! Kanine! Kanine!"


~I look flustered as the call drops~


Me: *grunts loudly and clenches my fists* "DOES ANYONE HAVE A PHONE I CAN USE!?" *talks over noise*

 

[LadyMatsudai]

The hoards of people were swarming all around the streets, Alex grunting a little at being hit by a few people while she made her way towards the truck, climbing into the back as a couple of the soldiers helped her up to let her settle down. Breathing a little heavily from the rush of the panic occurring throughout the city, Alex ran her hand through her short dark hair, looking around to all of the people screaming and pushing, a few even struggling to get to the truck to climb in, falling when the trucks started to move. Madness...complete and utter madness and it didn't show any signs of stopping. Looking up towards the young lady, Alex watched her talk on her phone before she started to panic, begging for a phone as she shook her head. "I have a phone, hun, but I don't think any of them will work. Not if you got poor reception. The towers are probably out," she said gently.

 

[Ch0sen1]

Me: *looks at Alex and immediately turns phone off* "Great...."


Pvt. Mills: "The phone signals are probably being redirected for military use....so anything you have now is probably roaming."


[HOOONNNNKKK!!!]


Driver: "MOOOVE!!"


Me: *looks down at my shut off phone, tears form as my hands slightly tremble*


Mills: "You okay?"


Me: *ignores Mills*


~One of the soldiers stands up on the back of the truck with a megaphone and a SPAS-12 shotgun~


Soldier: *with Megaphone* "PLEASE MOVE WEST AND NORTH TOWARDS 51ST STREET. AGAIN, MOVE WEST AND NORTH TO 51ST STREET. THE MILITARY AND NYPD WILL BE THERE TO ASSIST YOU WITH ANY EVACUATION AND SAFETY OF HEALTH. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO AMBUSH THE TRUCK OR ANY INHABITANTS ON BOARD...YOU WILL BE SHOT. I REPEAT YOU WILL BE SHOT IF SEEN AS AN AGGRESSOR."


~Chatters and whispers begin to arise on the military truck~


Truck Soldier1: "Are we even gonna make it to Americas? We're just getting past 7th..."


Truck Soldier2: "I sure as hell hope so...if a shootout happens it's going to be wayyyyy wilder than it is now."


~Small impacts hit the sides of the military vehicle as hands can be seen with a mix of screams, cries, and snarls~


Truck Soldier3: "Everyone remain calm! Stay seated and composed, everything will be alright!"


Mills: *to me* "I'm sorry about your friend..." *puts his hand on my shoulder*


Me: *side eyes Mills, eyes stopped up with tears*


Sgt. Larcena: "You." *To Alex* "What's your name?"

 

[BloodThunder27]

My Charger was my pride and joy. Instead, I decided to turn around and look for an alternate route. Trying to get through a mob of the infected wasn't worth the risk. Plus, if the car breaks down in the middle of them, me and my companion would be done for. When I turned onto a different road, I would notice that the city was completely devoid of life, desolate. Or at least the block I was on. When I looked over to my companion, I noticed that he had fallen asleep. While cruising, I continued to keep an eye out for other survivors. However, if I end up finding a convoy, I'm gonna have to look for other vehicles because I don't have much room in my car. When I reached a stoplight, I had three options.

• Continue down the Main Road
  
• Turn left and head towards Downtown
  
• Turn right and go towards the City Mall
  

 

[LadyMatsudai]

Alex softened to the young woman growing upset and closing her phone from the overwhelming rush of emotions, grunting to the truck moving so much from the debris in the road as well as from people and...the others straggling to get into the back of the truck. She covered her ears a little to the roaring sound of the megaphone and panted a little to the sound of the soldier threatening to kill anyone that dared to attack the truck. But before she could register anything else, Alex looked up towards Sgt. Larcena and cleared her throat a little to answer. "I am Alex, sir. Alexandra van Amstel," she introduced quickly.

 

[Ch0sen1]

Sgt. Larcena: "And do you know her Alex?" *points to me*


Me: *looks at Alex with a rugged, defeated look on my face*


Megaphone Troop: "PLEASE MOVE WEST AND NORTH TOWARDS 51ST STREET. AGAIN, MOVE WEST AND NORTH TO 51ST STREET. THE MILITARY AND NYPD WILL BE THERE TO ASSIST YOU WITH ANY EVACUATION AND SAFETY OF HEALTH. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO AMBUSH THE TRUCK OR ANY INHABITANTS ON BOARD...YOU WILL BE SHOT. I REPEAT YOU WILL BE SHOT IF SEEN AS AN AGGRESSOR."


~Truck honks, helicopters, and loud clatter of noise fills the air as the military attempts to keep the NYC panic under control.~


Truck Soldier1: "This is freakin' impossible!! No way we're gonna get all these people out in an orderly fashion!.."


Truck Soldier2: "Shut it Decker! How about we stay focused and help as many as we can huh!?"


~The civilians on the back of the truck begin to act paranoid and frantic at the sight of chaos around them and talk of the soldiers.~

​

 

[LadyMatsudai]

"No I don't...I just ran into her when I was leaving my hotel to see what was going on...now I know," said Alex grimly, looking around to the numerous crowds of people running in the midst of all of the chaos. Alex frowned to the megaphone blaring out again to the warning of shooting anyone that was seen as an aggressor, her eyes squinting to block out the sunlight to the sound of the helicopters flying overhead, barely peeking through the tall skyscrapers. Alex frowned more at the sound of the civilians growing panicked, scooting closer to try and console them.


"Hey. It's alright, guys. We will be fine. We just have to remain calm," she assured them, trying her best to believe her own words.

Sgt. Larcena: "Well we appreciate your courage, Alex." *moves over to the back of the truck*


~As the truck makes its way towards the safe border of 51st street, hordes of people continue to frantically rampage the streets. As streaks and coats of red begin to show on more and more of people's clothes. Gunshots can be heard in the distance from Times Square as the helicopters overheard hover with caution. Like something out of a nightmare, screams, cries, and roars fill the airways and remaining people begin to approach the military convoy with urgency.~


Megaphone troop: "HEY! BACK UP NOW! YOU WILL BE SHOT."


Pvt. Decker: "Hey...step back NOW!" *aims M4 at the crowd*


Me: "Oh no..." *scoots to the other side away from the commotion*


Sgt. Larcena: "People get back!!" *moves people out of the way*


~The entire company of civilians push away rapidly towards me and Alex's side as the soldiers rush over to the right side of the truck.~

Decker: "No...NO! stop NOW!" *aiming at crowd*


Megaphone troop: "LAST WARNING! MOVE BACK NO--"


~The troop is interrupted by a sudden braking of the convoy as bloodied people begin to bang on the grill of the truck, more begin to surface from unknown areas and surround the truck. On the left side where we are, one grabs a blonde woman's hair as he pulls her.~


Blonde: *screams* "HELP MEEEE!!!"


Me: "Hey!" *rushes over to the blonde and chops the aggressor's hands trying to break grip*


Driver: "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!!!" *honks horn* "We're trapped!"


Pvt. Dottsen: "Fuck...."


Blonde: "PLEEEAAAASE!!!"


Me: *unbottles my rage and decks the man in the nose*


Man: *gnarls* "Wcaagh!" *falls down into the crowd*


Larcena: "Everyone get to the middle of the truck and stay bunched in! Do it NOW!"

Upon making it back downtown, I realized that I had only half a tank remaining. Upon making it downtown, I decided to split up with my partner to see if we can find supplies more efficiently that way when we made it into downtown. Because he had his brass knuckles and the area seemed safe, I told him to leave the gun in the car before sending him off to go look for supplies and whatever else he could dig up before coming back. As for me, I locked up my Charger and restrained from drawing my gun, wanting to conserve as much ammo as possible. I then opened up the trunk to see what other gear I could take with me. I grabbed a black scarf and a pair ballistic goggle. Because I wanted to conserve Ammo, I had a few Melee Weapons to choose from. I struggled to decide on the right one.

• Crowbar
  
• Axe
  
• Baseball Bat
  
• Katana

Dottsen: "We gotta make a move sarge!...."


Sgt. Larcena: "...Shit!.."


Female Soldier: "Sarge!"


Pvt. Mills: "Fuck it...." *pulls out USP handgun and aims directly at one of the gnarling citizens heads before pulling the trigger.*


[POWW!]


Me: *I absolutely freeze at the shocking sight if the blood and brain fly out amongst the crowd.*


~The entire group both civilian and military alike look onward at Mills in complete silence. Mills begins to pop round after round into the bodies of angry, bloodied civilans with dead white eyes as only very few with consciousness run at the sight of the gunshots.~


Megaphone troop: "PLEASE BACK UP!!! BACK UP!!!! HEYY!!!!"


Female Soldier: "Mills what are you doing!?"


Larcena: *does nothing*


Me: *mouth gapes*


Driver: "What the hell was that!?"


~Some people on the truck begin to scoot backwards off of instinct towards the left side of the truck where more angry aggressors are. The banging on the grill of the military convoy continues as a dozen bloodied people attack the military convoy.~


Driver: "Shit man.....these fuckers won't move! We might have to run them over!"


Passenger Soldier: "We have to get to 51st man, no way we're gonna be stuck in this shithole."


Driver: "Well what the hell do you want me to do!?"


Passenger Soldier: "We--"


~Suddenly a corpse impacts the hood of the convoy with utmost force and spontaniety from above. The windshield shatters and the hood dents drastically at the lifeless body staring into the eyes of the passenger, non responsive.~


Driver: "SHIIIIITTTT!!!"


Passenger: "Oh fuck!! HEY!!! We got raining bodies up here!"


Dottsen: *to Driver & Passenger* "Can we move!?"


Driver: *Ignores* "Fuck this, HEY ASSHOLES!" *towards rampant aggressors blocking the front* "FUCK YOUUUUUUUU" *Fires his M4 Carbine into the air*


~The aggressors catch the sound and eye of the driver as they begin to stumble over towards him as if in pain, or weakened.~


Driver: "Yeah, move bitches...."


~Once about 7 of the aggressors have moved and are moving towards the driver's side, the driver kicks the gear in drive and begins to attempt to pull away....~

​

 

~The engine stalls and huffs as the driver repeatedly tries over and over to start the ignition.~


Driver: "Oh God no no no no no!!! FUCK!"


Passenger: "Please tell me it's not shot.."


Driver: *yells out window* "GUYS! PROBLEM!!! THE ENGINE IS DOWN!"


Pvt. Decker: "What the fuck you mean the engines down!?"


Female Soldier: "Ahhh SHIT!"


Pvt. Mills: "We're going to have to shoot our way out..."


Sgt. Larcena: "Damn it all to hell......"


Decker: "Looks like that's already happened sir...."


Me: *my heart drops at the news of the engine, I immediately look around the truck to dozens of people both bloody & pale along with panicked and pleading.* "What the heck are we supposed to do....we....we're trapped." *begins to tremble slightly*


Larcena: "Stay calm! Soldier give me that megaphone." *takes megaphone and speaks* "THIS IS SARGEANT LARCENA OF THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!!! WE ARE ONLY GOING TO SAY THIS ONCE. IF YOU ARE NOT INFECTED PLEASE DISPERSE FROM THIS VEHICLE AND RUN NORTH OF 51ST STREET. NOW! EVERYONE ELSE IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ATTACK OR THREATEN ANY CIVILIAN LIFE WE WILL SHOOT YOU NO HESITATION." *puts megaphone down* "Soldiers....." *pauses* "...you are now weapons free. Any threat you see on your judgement, handle it. I'll deal with the higher ups. We have our orders to protect and serve....so let's do it hoorah?"


Marines: "HOORAAAAHHHHH!!!"


Larcena: "Civilians listen close. Stay close in the middle, and at ALL times stay in close proximity of at least one soldier on this convoy. And you." *looks at me* "Stay with me, you got that? Never leave my side."


Me: *nods* "Okay. Yes sir."


Larcena: "Alright Marines! We're about to go mobile!"


~All of the Marines on the back of the convoy rise up in unison and equip their M4 carbines and aim, covering all directions around the truck.~


Dottsen: "Let's fucking do this."
