Resident Evil: Dark Falls [Game thread]

[Askthepizzaguy]

November 28th, 6:00 PM (Phase One)



The city was in chaos... while hardly anyone spotted zombies, they all knew these creatures were roaming about. But then something happened which made the situation a whole lot worse... A helicopter carrying a large metal crate flew into the center of town. Some say that there was a marking on the side of the helicopter which indicated it was the property of Umbrella. As it started to lower itself into the center of town, it appears some papers escaped from the metal crate and blew all across town. The crate was then set down in the center of town, and the helicopter released its cargo, and took off. Those who were hoping for an early rescue were very disappointed. In the distance, a loud clanging noise was audible to many, and a terrifying roar echoed throughout the city.

There was also heard some gunfire in the northwest.

But the real action was already about to take place....

-------------------

The man looked around very carefully, looking for something useful. Near the wall, he spotted a metal box, and grabbed it. But just as he was about to open it, he was attacked by someone. It was an ambush! She kicked him in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground, and readied her weapon.

She then aimed for the poor man's head and fired two shots from her handgun, which just happened to miss the target and hit the metallic box instead. The man, in a panic, rushed the female attacker and tackled her, knocking the weapon out of her hands. But this woman would not take this lying down, so she punched the man in the face, and knocked him off of her. Grabbing the gun, she took aim and was about to squeeze the trigger, when he disappeared behind a corner with the metal box.

She thought about chasing him down and finishing the job. But that's another story for another round. It appears both of them escaped without any serious damage... this time.

-------------------

The group of people had assembled in the obvious location, and were very happy with their good fortune, but off in the distance, there was a rumbling sound... and the ground began to shake. This was not a good sign....

-------------------

The Plague Demons advanced upon their targets... obviously looking for something. It was only a matter of time before someone got mauled to death.

November 28th, 6:15 PM (Phase Two)





He ran as fast as he could and attempted to hide in a shopping mall. Heart is pounding, gripping his weapon tightly, he hoped he wasn't spotted. He moved past the shattered glass window and dashed down the aisles of a supermarket. He ducked into the cooler where all the milk had been spilled and spoiled. The stench was overpowering, but he figured that might actually keep his attacker away and mask his own perspiration, just in case this thing isn't human.

But he was followed... relentlessly... by his attacker. Who are they? Why are they trying to kill him so ruthlessly? The dark figure entered the market, checking left and right with her weapon held high. It was that woman again... The man's hands shake as he attempted to aim at her. He tried to remain hidden, maybe she would go away... but it was not to be. She fired blindly into the cooler with her Custom Blacktail, hitting one of the gallon milk jugs, splattering sour milk and blood everywhere. He looked at his arm, and there was a bullet wound. The next bullet went streaking towards his head....

He didn't remember exactly how he made it out of there, but he clutched his bleeding head and arm, trying to stop the blood loss. He scampered away as fast as he could, hoping she wouldn't follow him again. Somehow, he didn't think this was over in the slightest....

-------------------

She moved toward the tower, searching for things. She tried to get inside, but it is extremely well-barricaded. From above, there was the sound of a boot scraping against concrete... she looked up just in time to see a boot kicking her in the face. She's knocked to the ground, only to be met by a dark figure slashing at her throat with a knife. She tried to block the blow, but she was struck in the arm. She rolled out of the way, and tried to flee, but she was stabbed in the back...

She never got a good look at her attacker, but she ran as far away from the battle as she could, clutching her wounded arm.

-------------------

She knew it was approaching her for the last few minutes, but she couldn't outrun it. The thing was massive, and moving rather swiftly, despite all appearances. The creature stood at least 7 feet tall and was massively powerful. It had several different heads, each one oozing with slime and pus, writhing in agony. She was filled with an overwhelming sense of panic. Its numerous tentacles reached out for her... trying desperately to strangle her, and whip her... the tentacles were covered in a strange yellow substance which stung quite horribly upon contact. She did her best to dodge the slimy things, and she was doing quite well when suddenly, one of them whipped her in the face. She was stunned at first, but she slipped underneath the thing's legs and ran as fast as she could. By the time she got to where she was going, her entire face went numb and she could hardly see. She was in rough shape, but she had outrun the creature, and it was no longer within visual range.

-------------------

It was all quiet on the street. The building stood tall, with many dozens of boarded up windows. There, a man was searching for something. It seems as though he's found it.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

But then the glass shattered behind him... out of nowhere, a horde of infected people began swarming into the building, gasping, crawling, and reaching for the man... drooling all over the office floor, whispering something about devouring his flesh. The man would simply not go down like that, and he swung his pickaxe, impaling the first creature through the skull, getting it caught in the dying corpse. Another one grabbed him from behind, and was about to bite him through the neck... it looked like this was the end. But he shrugged his shoulder and squirmed out of the grip of the creature... he kicked the first zombie and withdrew his pickaxe, and swung it as hard as he could....

The body crumpled to the ground, with it's head following shortly thereafter. But the man looked up and could see even more zombies... an entire horde of the creatures, piling into the building, all smelling death, blood, and tasty, tasty meat...

-------------------

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Several figures gathered near the base, apparently looking for whatever it is they could find. The ground was shaking, and a terrifying roar could be heard from the direction of the bridge. They looked up and saw something too horrible to describe...

-------------------

He attempted to cross the bridge and make friends with whoever he found. He looked around, but saw only the cold emptiness of the night. Then he noticed someone approaching, so he waved a friendly "hello", only to feel the cold steel of a wakizashi blade slashing his chest open. He dodged the next swing, and reached for an item he had been carrying with him... a manhole cover. He blocked another blow, and smashed his attacker in the face with it, knocking him down. The attacker slashed wildly at him, and there was nothing he could do but attempt to get the heck out of there! He ran as fast as his legs could carry him....

-------------------

He watched the man rummaging around, looking for more useful items. He raised his Beretta and fired. The other man jumped out of the way as the first shot fired, and it impacted him in his body armor... the blow was glancing, but it still tore into his side and caused a surface wound. He got to his feet just as the other man readied another shot... hitting him in the shoulder. Another glancing blow... He retaliated by smashing his attacker in the face with your iron bar, knocking him silly. He smashed the man with it again, causing a dislocated jaw. They both have had enough of this fight, and with bloody wounds and busted bones, they scamper off in different directions.

November 28th, 6:30 PM (Phase Three)


for creative writing purposes, I may now mention first or last names or descriptions of the character so I don't have to simply say "he" or "she" because that's lame. I will continue to endeavor to keep identities anonymous enough and locations ambiguous.



Mister Harris was checking inside the parking lot for items, and came upon a shiny metal box. How nice! He may have pressed his luck, however.... while searching, he opened up the door of a vehicle and sneaked inside. He was very surprised when the door slammed shut behind him, latching itself. He heard a terrible, low grumbling noise.

In the shadows, he could spot the creature. And he was trapped inside the vehicle with it! In desperation, he slammed the creature in the face with his fist, and it didn't even flinch. Now's around the time where Harris would be running, so he threw himself at the door to try to open it. It's STUCK!!! Harris was trapped inside the vehicle! The Plague Demon slashed at Harris with its powerful claws, and Harris did all he could to dodge and roll out of the way, but there was only so much space. Harris knew he needed to escape, so he tried to force the door open again, and failed. He was struck in the back, his flesh cleaved apart like butter. In desperation, Harris rammed his head against the door, and it miraculously popped right open. He tried to get out of there, but just when he was almost free, he felt the deadly grip of the creature around his ankle, pulling him back inside... slowly overpowering Mr. Harris. He was trapped in the grip of FEAR.

He knew that if he were pulled back inside, he would be finished. He struggled with all his might, and failed to break free... he saw the stars slipping away... to be replaced with the cold black interior of the vehicle, soon to be his coffin. With his grip starting to give on the outside of the vehicle, Harris summoned up his last gasp of fight left in him and kicked the creature as hard as he could in the eyes, temporarily stunning the thing. The grip weakened just enough to allow Harris to break free.

Harris, surviving only because of Luck alone, ran out of there as fast as his legs could carry him, still bleeding from the gaping wound in his back.

-------------------

Annette was still being pursued by her attacker. This time she came prepared, armed with a rifle. She steeled herself as the madman came after her. Like a crazed assassin, the maniac ran towards her, seemingly unconcerned that she held a rifle in her hands. No longer willing to wait, she closed her eyes and pulled the trigger...

The weapon double-fired, and missed the attacker completely. The maniac rolled on the ground toward her, and kicked her hard in the shins while readying the knife. Annette tried to point the weapon down at him, but he gripped the end of the rifle and pointed it away, twisting himself into position to strike her with the knife. She jumped out of the way of the blow and kicked him. He just got up and started swinging. Annette decided that she'd had enough of this guy, and tried to simply run out of there. He swung at her as she fled, but he just missed her and tripped as she was getting away. When he looked up she was half a block away. He just grinned murderously and prepared his next move.

-------------------

Arnold noticed some commotion earlier, but didn't think much of it. As he moved, he was caught unprepared by a sudden attack from the shadows. A murderous assassin wielding a wakizashi sword struck quick, and struck hard. Before he could even react, there were two large slices across his chest, cleaving him down to the bone. Arnold began gushing blood, and doubled over in pain. The blade barely missed his head and he clutched himself in agony, and then he stepped back, just out of range of the weapon.

His attacker stumbled for a second, giving Arnold the chance to escape, and he took it. He ran off as fast as he could, never turning back to see if this killer was still following him. If he didn't get medical attention soon, he was certain he would die. He never even got a good look at the man. He was very, very lucky to be alive at all.

-------------------

Marcus knew she was still following him. But this time he was ready. When she appeared and opened fire, he ducked into a drainage ditch and returned fire. She hid behind a vehicle and continued shooting. He was firing back at her with his Broken Butterfly, and kept missing. She shot at him with her Custom Beretta, hitting him several times. The wounds were pretty severe, and Marcus simply couldn't continue... he ducked behind the building and ran as fast as he could. She checked herself for wounds... nothing serious. By now, Marcus was leaving a bloody trail that would be very easy to follow. She ducked back into the shadows.

-------------------

They went looking for weapons, but found trouble instead. A horde of infected human beings came out from behind the building, without any warning, and they attacked! Vance tried to fight them off, while Amelia panicked and hid behind him. The zombies grasped at them, groaning and drooling, and bared their teeth... Vance fired his weapon just as he was being bitten, and ended up shooting at the ground instead. Another one grabbed Amelia from behind... things weren't looking good at all. Vance bashed one of them with his weapon, and pulled the other one off of Amelia, and they both ran for their lives.

-------------------

Things just kept getting worse and worse for Ms. Burnside. She had been attacked by the tentacled creature before, ran off, and managed to locate a friend. She was already wounded from the previous encounter, but still managed to keep up. Now, they spotted the fiend chasing them down... and this time there would be no escape.

Ms. Burnside pleaded for her life, asking her new friend to help her. They fought the creature together, but in one terrifying blow, Annette was struck in the face with a whipping, paralytic tentacle. As she started to pass out, she was struck in the chest, and she felt her heart stop. She never recovered, and lay there motionless while Dave started to PANIC. He aimed at the creature and prepared to fire, when he too was struck by one of the vicious tentacles.

As he felt the terrible pain and then the numbness in his wound, he knew he had to get out of there, and doubted very much that his weapons would do much of anything to the creature. He ran away like he was covered in boiling acid, screaming in pain and terror.

-------------------

The people of Dark Falls were just doing what they could to survive. They heard the rumbling footsteps approaching, but were totally unprepared for what happened next. The entire side of the nearby building gave way, and the massive creature emerged from the rubble of concrete and steel. It was the vicious, terrifying EL GIGANTE!!!

The creature picked up a large piece of twisted steel and concrete and heaved it into the center of the crowd. Then he swung his huge fists and pummeled the ground with his massive feet, knocking people to and fro, nearly flattening one of them underfoot. Several people returned fire, but nothing was stopping this creature.Several rifle rounds were fired at El Gigante, but missed. Some handgun bullets and shotgun blasts as well.

They scattered in all directions, which confused the creature. It could not choose which one of them to chase down. He watched them flee, drool eking out from his open jaw, splattering onto the bloody concrete below him. From his massive height, he could see for some distance... he spotted another jolly gathering of humans, and bared its disgusting teeth with a sick, twisted grin, and began to stomp off in that direction.

The building nearby collapsed. El Gigante had run straight through it like it was nothing. All that stands there now is a pile of rubble. Elsewhere, broken bones and bloodied wounds needed mending, and pain was felt by many. Would this only be the first of many such attacks?

-------------------

Everything was going wrong for him. He wasn't feeling very well, and he knew that it was the beginning of the end. He started choking, coughing up blood, as he felt his body ache and itch and swell. The virus began to take hold of him, and he blacked out, falling to the ground with a sickening thud. When he woke up, he was no longer the man that people once knew. He was a twisted, psychotic creature, the end product of a viral agent designed to turn people into biological weapons. The Omega-II virus had contaminated everything in Dark Falls, and only now were people beginning to feel its terrible effects.

When people are facing death, the virus begins to re-animate the tissue, changing dead bodies into zombies. However, the virus affects the living even more powerfully... unless fought off by the body's immune system, the virus will transform living people into powerful super-human creatures known as Omega Transformations. With everyone in Dark Falls contaminated by this viral agent, they needed to be decontaminated and treated as soon as possible. If they failed to escape from Dark Falls in a timely fashion, they would become a permanent resident....

Soon, others would start to change. There was no stopping it.

Phase three is officially over. Congratulations to everyone who remembered to send in orders. You now have 48 hours to send in your orders for Phase Four, in addition to the remaining time left today. So, 48 hours, starting from midnight tonight EST, or almost three full days. (It's 6:45 AM now, EST)

If I made a mistake in your character card, let me know.


Comment: I hope everyone reads that last part about the Omega Transformations. This game will not last forever; if you don't find the solutions to the puzzle I've given you and escape, you will eventually transform into the twisted, zombie-like Omega creatures.

Tick tock. Most of you don't need to worry, but as people die they become zombies, and even those you trusted all game, who are still alive, may turn into something purely evil.

Oh the drama.

November 28th, 6:45 PM (Phase Four)



Betty was minding her own business when some lunatic jumped out of the shadows and tossed metallic ball bearings on the ground near her feet, then charged at her wielding a large metal object. She lost her footing and slipped on the small round objects, and landed on her backside. She rolled out of the way of one attack, but was cracked upside the head with another. She fumbled for her weapon, and managed to shoot her attacker, but not before getting whacked once more with the manhole cover. She was dazed and disoriented by the repeated blows, and the sudden unprovoked attack... she fled from her attacker, who also managed to slip on the ball bearings. Betty cursed at herself... she should have been prepared for any kind of attack. As she fled, she started to become dizzy... and then, after coughing up some blood, she blacked out.

-------------------

Dave ran from the horrible thing that had already killed Annette, as fast as he could. He was starting to PANIC. Out from the shadows, somehow leaping down from a tree, the Demon attacked Dave. He readied his weapon to fire at the creature, but one of the tentacles knocked it out of his hands, and smacked him in the face with another. He was already starting to feel dizzy, but another tentacle whipped Dave in the face. Dave started to black out, but when his face hit the pavement, he started to wake up again. He felt a sudden burst of adrenaline, as he realized he was seconds away from death. He rolled out of the reach of the creature, and ran as fast as his legs could carry him, picking up his dropped weapon before he exited the scene.

The creature drools and continues the hunt...

-------------------

Luis was searching around the building, when suddenly from the shadows he can see a massive swarm of zombies approaching. He's ready for them... as they lunge forward, he steps back and out of the way. They seem confused by the move, so they lunge forward again. He kicks one of them in the face, knocking it down, as the other one strikes... He steps back, and delivers another kick, this time a downward strike with his heel against the back of its head, smashing it against the ground.

"Hmph... not worth wasting bullets on..." he mutters. But he sees that the entire area is now swarming with zombies. He decided now would be a good time to just run away... but before he does, he notices that most of the zombies are heading towards someone else who tried to sneak into the building. "Have a nice snack, you freaks...." he mutters.

Naomi tried to hide, but was spotted by the creatures. One of the infected dogs bites her on the arm, which she had to beat off of her. She steps out of the way of the zombie lurching towards her, just as he lunges in her direction. The rabid dog jumps at her, fangs bared, growling in a bloodthirsty manner, but she delivers a roundhouse kick to the dog's face in midair, knocking it to the ground. At this point, she clutches her wounded arm and tries to get the heck out of there.

-------------------

Mr. Scott took a look around the building, which seemed deserted. The offices were covered in scattered papers, desks were overturned, and only the emergency lights were functional. Just then, he heard a crash... and then another, and another.... he looked up and saw that the windows were being busted into, and the entire building was being invaded by a massive, nearly endless horde of zombies!!!

He backed into a corner... weapon raised, and spotted an office just a few feet away. He kicked the door open, and made sure that there were no zombies in there. Then he turned around and tried to lock the door, and he saw that it was broken. "Right... kicking it open was probably not a good idea...." muttered Scott, as his eyes darted around for something, anything more useful than his trusty handgun, which he wouldn't want to face an entire horde of zombies with. The office was pretty clean, apparently the zombies didn't get in there. What he did notice is that there was a dead man on the floor, with a bullet hole in his head. That's when Scott spotted on the cabinet behind him, an ornamental piece that caught his eye. It's some kind of samurai sword. Scott's eyebrows rose as he dared hope this thing was an expensive, authentic weapon and not some lousy decorative piece. He grabbed the weapon from the top of the cabinet.

"Here goes nothing..." Scott thought. "I won't die like a coward. Attack!" His legs didn't move. "Attack means charge!" he muttered to himself, and then he finally summoned the courage to face the zombie horde. He moved back into the main office room, where the zombies were pouring in. He needed room to swing his weapon. No less than six zombies attacked mister Scott. Scott sidestepped the first zombie, as he was grabbed by another. He headbutted the thing off of him, just as another one came charging toward him. He ducked, and like a football player, lowered his shoulder and lifted the zombie, sending it flying over his shoulder into the crowd of zombies behind him. Yet another zombie attacked, this time biting Scott in the shoulder. Scott kicked the thing in the knee, causing it it stumble, then he finished it off with a roundhouse kick to the face and knocked it away. Finally, another zombie was about to grab him, when he ran toward the wall, jumped, planted his foot against it, and backflipped over the zombie, landing behind it.

Somehow managing to survive the onslaught of six zombies, Scott unsheathed the Katana. With one vicious strike, he cleaved the zombie that just charged at him in two, and there were two separate wet thumping sounds when the corpse impacted the floor. The next two zombies come charging at Scott, and he sliced the head off of one while impaling the other, twisting the blade after impact so it severed the spine of the other zombie. Another zombie came lurching toward Scott, moaning and groaning... Scott twisted his body 360 degrees, flailing the blade in an outstretched fashion, impacting the creature straight through the ribcage, severing the creature in half. Two more zombies came charging at Scott, and he raised the Katana like a samurai warrior. With one swift motion, he delivered a downward strike, cutting the monster from his shoulder, diagonally across his chest, down to the other side, to his waist. The creature's head and arm slid off of the rest of its body as it continued running into the wall. With one continuous motion, Scott curved back upward, rising like a dragon, cleaving the next zombie between the legs, straight up through it's abdomen, up through it's chest, and completely through the skull, bisecting the creature. Blood splattered everywhere, for obvious reasons. Upon seeing this incredible sight, the zombie's behavior suddenly changed. Instead of advancing on Scott, they all stopped. Scott raised his Katana, prepared to defend himself to the death if necessary. The zombies, however, turned around and slowly began to pile out of the building, from whence they came.

Mister Scott looked at his new Dragonfly, with much approval.

Conrad was heading toward the building up ahead, when she noticed that there was a person standing in the shadows aiming some kind of weapon at her. Thinking quickly, she ran and dove out of the way... just in time to see the ground she was previously standing on blow into bits in a massive explosion. She looked up and saw a figure with a Grenade Launcher, and she aimed her Army Rifle back in his direction, and fired 3 rounds in rapid succession. While the man was reloading, he also decided that she wasn't worth staying and killing; and so he left, mostly intact, but bleeding a bit from a bullet wound.

Conrad smirked at the man's decision to run, and thought to herself "I hope you don't run into anything else that might bite back...", then she took another quick look around for zombies, and continued on.

-------------------

Chris ran from the trio of figures who were chasing him. Up ahead, he saw an intersection... and decided to hide behind one of the buildings. One of his attackers couldn't spot him, and was facing the other way, standing apart from the other two. Chris aimed his weapon, a Beretta, at the other two figures. Taking a quick shot at one of them, he cursed as he missed. But he wasn't prepared for the retaliation...

Two rifle rounds from an SL8 penetrated Chris right through the face, taking out his jaw and causing massive bleeding and bone breakage. The second round clipped him and caused more bleeding. He felt himself begin to pass out from the shock, but when he hit the ground, he reached for something that might make him feel a bit better... and rolled to his feet and ran from his attackers, as silently as he could.

-------------------

Alfred held his breath. Somewhere, on this dark, wide street, there was someone hiding. Someone that he knew had murderous intentions. But he held similar intentions for this woman. He gripped his Custom Eagle, and prepared to fire.

From behind him, Alfred heard the sound of a match being struck. As he turned, he saw the woman was tossing a device in his direction. He didn't know what it was, but his CIA training told him that he absolutely had to move. He jumped out of the way, and rolled on the ground to face his attacker, and heard an explosion behind him. The dynamite bomb was wrapped in duct tape and nails, and though Alfred missed the explosion, the nails did not. He grunted as he felt the impact of a nail or two in his leg. He cursed at the woman and began to fire at her with his Eagle. She returned fire with her Custon Beretta, and they shot several rounds at one another, dodging as they fired, moving out of danger.

They both took several bullets, but Alfred seemed to be getting the brunt of the fire. The woman continued to fire until her weapon stopped suddenly, with an audible *click click*. She knew her weapon was empty, and she rolled out of the way of another hail of bullets. She lit another device, made out of the various items she's found along the way, and tossed it in Alfred's direction. Another explosion, and Alfred rolled out of danger, only to be hit with shrapnel once more.

Alfred fired at the woman, cursing at her, bleeding from several wounds.... he was enraged... he was going to kill her. Nothing could stop him now. She ducked behind a mailbox, and lit another device... she was running out of options... and she didn't have anything else to strike Alfred with. She lobbed the weapon over her head, behind her.... past the mailbox, and in the direction of the bullet fire. Alfred continued to fire, but the device landed exactly where he was standing. He looked down in time to see the dynamite explode, the nails impacting him in the skull, as the lower half of his body was torn to pieces.

He collapsed on the ground, and with his last gasp, cursed the woman who had ruined his plans for retirement. Then it all faded to black....

-------------------

Ramon spotted someone to the west, and was slinking towards them in the shadows, trying to figure out if they were a friend or a foe. As soon as he looked out from his hiding place, he heard the sounds of shots firing in his direction. The glint of a shiny gold weapon or two was all he saw, before he felt the impact of one of the bullets. Ramon decided that maybe he wouldn't stick around as see if he could negotiate a truce with this one... maybe it is better to leave well enough alone.

-------------------

Dave was still PANICKING and feeling the effects of the paralytic gel on his face and body, and couldn't get very far before he was attacked yet again... the creature followed him and tackled him to the ground, and began whipping him and stinging him with its deadly tentacles. It was all Dave could do to roll out of the way, and kick the thing off of him, before he slowly attempted to get to safety. It is only by sheer luck that he is still alive.

But something has distracted the creature's attention... something very important. The creature stops, and sniffs the air... and turns its heads completely around to look behind it, casting its gaze off into the distance, sticking its tongues out to taste the sweet sensation lingering in the breeze... it seems that the Plague demon has located something far, far more interesting than Dave... It immediately scampered off in that direction....

Not too far away, another creature was lurking. It too stopped whatever it was doing, and turned it's head... sniffing the air. Locking itself on the source of the wonderful smell, it started to move... drooling onto the ground, groaning.... stalking.... and hunting....

-------------------

Sam and Luis met up, and nodded at one another, and began to discuss what to do next. But they were quite rudely interrupted by someone else who burst onto the scene, firing his weapon, "Sweetness". Sam took a bullet and ducked as he scampered off, but Luis stood his ground, gritted his teeth, and unloaded his RCP90 at the attacker.

The weapon unleashed a torrent of bullets in the direction of the rude intruder. It was all the man could do but return fire and try to avoid getting hit, but when dozens of rounds are fired in just a few seconds, there's not much that can be done. After sustaining multiple bullet wounds, the attacker fled the scene.

Luis swore at the attacker, and vowed revenge. But first, he would go off and find Sam, and convince him to stand his ground next time. He looked at himself, checking for wounds, and saw that during the battle, he took a bullet or two. He cursed again at the rudeness of it all. It was just so rude!

-------------------

Mister Harris was being chased by that thing again. He was feeling the FEAR, and ran as fast as he could, which was quite fast, and ran and ran and ran some more. Then he turned around and unleashed a pair of weapons and fired at his attacker....

His terrible aim not withstanding, the creature had, in fact, stopped dead in its tracks... It looked around, and decided that now was a good time to leave. So the purveyor of FEAR went off and hid from danger. Harris wiped his brow, and twirled his new weapons. He whistled, and looked around for any other creepy creatures that might want to try their luck.

-------------------

Annette was just minding her own business, attempting to defend herself... when out from the shadows, a dark figure appeared. The sound of matches being struck did not alert Annette to what was about to happen. The man charged out from the shadows and tossed a pair of dynamite sticks in Annette's direction, and they clattered to her feet. She tried to aim her rifle at the attacker, but before she could fire, the sticks exploded.

Pieces of her went scattering in all directions. Needless to say, she didn't fare very well. Her broken body landed in several places, and she released her grip on the rifle when her torso smashed into the pavement. The dark figure was poised to strike again, but saw it was not necessary. He walked over to her corpse, picked her pockets, and took her weapon, and then smirked at his success.

But then, in the pit of his stomach, he felt a searing pain... he doubled over and coughed up blood. His body temperature started to soar... and he began to feel light-headed. He collapsed against the ground, and groaned as he felt his body start to change... and then everything went black.

-------------------

A group of people were doing various things.... some were searching, and others were preparing for war. One person took a spool of wire and tied it from one side of the street to the other, making sure it was very tight. Another took a canister of gasoline and poured it all over the place, and set a small can of nitroglycerin in the center of it all. Another stood at the ready, clutching his awesome weapon.

They didn't have to wait very long, because the ground was trembling beneath their feet. They looked up to see....

EL GIGANTE!!!!

The massive creature lumbered forward, and tossed the broken body of Leet Eriksson into the center of the crowd. The corpse landed with a thud... and then another... as the mangled body had been ripped in half with the giant's massive hands.

Someone fired their weapon, and hit the can of nitroglycerin, which exploded. There was a massive fireball as the entire street caught fire, and the gasoline everywhere El Gigante was standing began to burn. But the thing kept coming, clearly unaffected by the flames that were licking his tough hide. His big foot caught on the tripwire, and he slowly began to fall over, landing with a massive thud, in the huge puddle of burning fuel. Now the whole of the creature was covered in the burning liquid, and he was engulfed in flames. One plucky little fellow decided now was a good time to attack the thing with his awesome weapon, so he charged the creature, jumped on its back, and began to..... stab it with a pocket knife.

As El Gigante got to its feet, on fire, but seemingly not even in pain, this brave fellow realized that he wasn't so brave after all, and his knife wasn't even penetrating the outer layer of its skin. So he ran and ran and ran away.

Another person took one look at the flaming giant rumbling towards them, and unloaded. Right into his pants. Then he ran and ran and ran away. A young woman standing nearby also saw all of this happen, and decided not to stick around. She ran and ran and ran away.

The few remaining people unloaded their weapons into the giant, firing rifles and pistols into the creature's chest and face. The creature staggered from the pain, but only got angrier and angrier. It stomped its massive feet and pounded one poor fellow with a giant flaming fist, knocking him clear into the next city block. Lucy took cover behind Cindy, as Cindy unloaded her rifle into the thing, firing over and over and over again. But when a massive, flaming fist knocked her into next week, they both decided to flee.


The creature stood, beating its chest, covered in flames, roaring loud enough for the entire county to hear. It was bleeding from several bullet holes, but it seemed almost unfazed by both the wounds and the fire which continued to burn the outer layer of its hide. When it was done, it flashed a demonic grin... and decided to take care of some creeps that were clustered near the bridge....

Mwahahahaha.....

Phase Five is officially over. Congratulations to everyone who remembered to send in orders. Congratulations to me for actually getting this one done. You now have 48 hours to send in your orders for Phase Five, in addition to the remaining time left today. So slightly more than 48 hours. (It's 9:PM now, EST)

If I made a mistake in your character card, let me know.

If I don't get all your orders in within the time frame, that stinks, but the Christmas holidays are over and we need to pick up the pace. I may grant an extension if we are missing a lot of orders, but really, if you can't get the orders in within a couple/few days time, you should drop or ask to be replaced. I have it such that 3 consecutive no-orders results in being crushed by El Gigante.

Host comment/tip:

There may be obstacles or barricades of some kind preventing forward progress for everyone in the game. If those obstacles or barricades are destroyed or removed or unlocked in any fashion, it will be public knowledge. These impassable points, once removed, will be unlocked for everyone in the game.

Thus, it is not necessary for each individual person to solve all puzzles or unlock all doors.

November 28th, 7:15 PM (Phase Six)

Over at the Hospital, there was a loud crash... and an alarm sounded. Someone, or something, had smashed straight through the wall of the facility.

The Hospital has now been broken open. It is now accessible to everyone.

Arnold was still bandaging up his wounds from a previous engagement, when out of nowhere, a crazed maniac came barging in his direction, firing a Thompson sub-machine gun. Arnold wasted no time, he dropped to the ground and rolled in the street, then got up and ran away from that insane individual. He looked back, and thought that his attacker looked somehow familiar. Why was he being attacked?

Chris ran from his attackers, but try as he might, there was just no escape. As he turned around and prepared to fire, he felt the searing hot lead of bullets from an SL8 Rifle and an HK vp70. He was dead before he hit the ground. He wouldn't have to worry about his employer, or his mission, any longer.

Ramon knew something was chasing him... but he wasn't sure what it could possibly be. He ran from the scene just 15 minutes ago, only to find himself in danger once more. He couldn't believe his eyes... there was a rocket-propelled grenade heading straight for his head! Ramon used all his reflexes and yes, just a little bit of luck, to duck out of the way. The rocket streaked off into the distance and blew up an entire side of an apartment building several dozen yards away. Ramon knew enough to get the heck out of there, before the next one hit him in the face.

Tyler didn't know what the thing was that was chasing him, but he was filled with an overwhelming sense of PANIC. He needed to get away from it... so he hid inside an apartment building. As he watched the thing pacing around the building outside, he wondered why it wouldn't leave him alone. Fortunately for Tyler, the creature could not find him.

But, it was sniffing the air... drooling heavily... and searching......

Mister Scott was used to dealing with zombies. After wasting a half-dozen of them not too long ago, he was prepared to deal with more of them... they were hiding. He could see that they were trying to ambush some people, so he drew his Red 9 and fired on them, scoring several direct hits. But this time, he had some help. Sam also drew his weapon and shot at the zombies, killing one of them with a head shot. Luis wasted no time, riddling three zombies with his RC-P90, killing one of them in the process. Dickie unloaded a grenade right into the remaining zombies, sending them splattering all over the place with a satisfying KABOOOM.

When they were all finished, they looked around... apparently there were more people standing around here than they first thought. The zombies, unfortunately, weren't carrying any weapons they could take.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

_____________________

The large group gathered at the bridge. Here, they would make their stand against the dreaded El Gigante. They could already feel its massive footsteps approaching. They prepared a trap for the massive monster... a chain and a tripwire were placed across the bridge, and flammable materials were placed beyond that. They would incapacitate the monster, set it on fire, and unload all their bullets into the creature. It was a fine plan. A fantastic plan. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

One man stood in front of the others and gave a fine speech.

Bruce: Sons of Dark Falls, I am Bruce Miguel

Young soldier: Bruce Miguel is 7 feet tall!

Bruce: Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here, he'd consume the Giant with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his .

*laughing*

I AM Bruce Miguel. And I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of... whatever that thing is that's attacking us. You have come to fight as free men... and free men you are. What would you do with that freedom? WILL YOU FIGHT???

Albert Wells: Fight? Against that? No, we will run; and we will live.

Bruce: Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, JUST ONE CHANCE, to come back here and tell El Gigante that it may take our lives, but IT WILL NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM!!!

*The men raise their weapons and shout gloriously*

Edward Marini: Well, we didn't get all dressed up fer nuthin'....

*just then, Bruce notices that they are being attacked at their flanks, just as the Giant is crossing the river...*

Bruce: It's AN AMBUSH!! LOOK OUT!!!!

Bruce fires his pistol at the attacker, but he misses. It's too late, the man jumps out of the shadows and pulls out a pair of golden lugers, and begins firing upon the crowd rapidly, moving from one target to the next. A hail of bullets impact the assembled men, several of them badly wounded. Even El Gigante is hit by a golden bullet.

Albert Wells tosses a device in the direction of the crowd, and too late, they see that it is a nitroglycerin bomb with nails wrapped around it. One massive explosion later, Angela Chambers falls to the ground, gushing blood and internal organs from a massive wound in her stomach. There's nothing that can be done to save her. Many others are hit by the blast, or the nails which scatter everywhere at deadly speed. The fight does not go well for the brave men assembled at the bridge. Now, El Gigante comes...

The massive creature steps directly on the chain and wire traps, snapping them in half. He does not trip, and in the confusion, the crowd cannot set off the flammable materials. El Gigante smashes into Albert Wells, who is knocked on his backside from the blow. Angela Chambers, with her remaining ounce of strength, aims at the giant and fires.... the bullet impacting the creature in the eye, causing him to stagger... The Giant, still engulfed in flames from before, swings wildly and blindly at the group, sending Arthur Lester sailing into the side of the bridge, nearly knocking him unconscious. Another pair of powerful swings later, and two more are lucky to still have their lives.

The group tries to execute their plan, some firing at El Gigante, some missing. One of them fires an arrow, which sails over Gigante's head, and Bruce fires his pistol again, which clips El Gigante in the arm and doesn't penetrate his rough hide. With his allies around him fleeing from the terrifying sight of a 20-foot tall monster, unhurt by fire, swinging wildly and not taking much damage from bullet fire, Edward Marini stands his ground, with a pissed off look on his face. He aims his Grenade Launcher directly at the creature, and fires. The grenade hits El Gigante in the chest, and explodes, knocking the massive beast to the ground. Edward turns to his allies and shouts "NOW!!! ATTACK NOW!!!!" But most of the group has already fled. Edward, himself damaged, runs away while bandaging himself up, unwilling to take on the El Gigante by himself. He takes one last, hard look at El Gigante...

Marini: This isn't over, you big steaming sack of


Albert Wells watches Marini dash off, and loots the body of the fallen Chambers, thinking El Gigante is dead. But a loud crash from behind him alerts Wells to the dangerous creature, somehow.... THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE!!! It is getting up off of the ground, and it is starting to REGENERATE!!! Wells takes the weapons and flees, leaving only El Gigante left standing, roaring loudly, and stomping in anger at the humans scattering from its sight. The creature, badly wounded, does not give chase.

November 28th, 7:30 PM (Phase Seven)




Ramon Regan ran for his life. A shadowy figure was after him... he had already been shot at by golden bullets, and almost blown up by a rocket-propelled grenade, and so he ran with all his might toward the building up ahead.

He wasted no time when he got there, he dove directly through the glass window, just as one shot was heard. A golden bullet whizzed by Ramon Regan as he landed on the interior of the building. As he stood to return fire, another golden bullet impacted Ramon clean through the eye. He was dead before he hit the ground.

The shadowy figure entered the building, and looted the body, then disappeared back into the shadows.

___________________________

Tyler tried to keep as quiet as possible, but unfortunately, he bumped into the kitchen counter and one of the unwashed pans fell down and hit the floor. The loud clang alerted the creature outside to his presence.

Tyler gripped his grenade launcher and started to PANIC. He braced himself against the apartment door, trying to keep the thing out. But it was far too strong; it kicked open the apartment door, and sent Tyler flying against the floor. The creature sprayed Tyler with a kind of yellowish sticky film, just as Tyler fired a grenade.... which clattered under the creature's feet and into the hall behind him. The explosion sent the creature, unharmed, to the floor, which allowed Tyler to hop out the nearest window and start running to the west.

"What was that thing?" Tyler thought, as he felt lightheaded and tingly from the yellow slime covering his body. He ran as fast as his legs could move, but the effects of the slime were already starting to take its toll. What else could go wrong?

___________________________

Olga had no idea what that.... thing was, but she didn't want to find out. She aimed her rifle at it carefully. Looking through the scope, she held her breath.... and squeezed the trigger gently. But the creature started moving, and she missed... then she watched breathlessly as the following bizarre scene unfolded.

She saw the creature moving to the east, chasing after something. She saw a wounded man, running away from something else, covered in a sticky yellowish film. She looked through her sniper scope, trying to get off another shot... the thing she was trying to shoot has now chased down the wounded man, and was attacking him. She wanted to help out, but the way they were both moving made her think she was going to hit the poor wounded man, so she continued to aim, waiting for a clean shot.

The giant creature had the male human pinned down, and was attacking it... and covering the poor man with more sticky yellow slime, which apparently caused him great PAIN.

She watched helplessly as it picked up the male human and throws it over its shoulder. Now the big creature started to move away. She aims at the creature's head, but the body of the wounded man is in the way. The creature disappears behind the building.

"What do I do now? Should I try to attempt a rescue?" She thought.

Meanwhile, Tyler, unable to move at all, felt his life flash before him. He couldn't stay with this creature... he had no idea what the thing intended to do with him, but he knew that whatever it was, it was a fate worse than death. He shouted out for help.

"Someone! PLEASE!!! HELP ME!!! GET ME AWAY FROM THIS THING!!!"

___________________________

Mister Scott Kennedy overheard the Umbrella Mercenaries.... and took the initiative. He walked calmly through the others, and moved toward the two men, calmly reaching for his Dragonfly Katana.

A subtle breeze moved some loose pieces of paper, scattering them...

Time seemed to slow down for Mister Scott. The men were looking for something, and did not see his approach. "Hey, Sam, I found a pretty sweet rifle over here!" noted one of the men.

Mister Scott had his blade fully drawn now.

Luis admired the familiar-looking rifle. "Hmm... must be my lucky day!" he noted. Then he felt the Cold Steel impale him through the stomach, the shock of it causing him to drop the rifle. Mister Scott withdrew the blade, spun with a single step, and decapitated Luis with the next smooth strike.

Sam turned to see what the odd noises were, only to find himself staring into the cold gaze of a man he had only heard about before the mission, during the briefing. He felt the odd sensation of tightness in his stomach, and when he looked down, he saw that the blade was impaling him through the stomach. Reacting from the sight of this, Sam withdrew himself from the blade, and quickly released an incendiary grenade, engulfing his attacker instantly in flames. He drew his pistol, and attempted to fire at the man, but his wounds made his aim unsteady. Mister Scott rolled on the ground, putting out the flames, and then immediately got up and held the katana above his head, preparing to make a killing strike.

Sam, bleeding profusely from his wounds, was about to fire again, but he had to jump backward in order to avoid being decapitated from the swinging blade. He turned and ran as fast as he could, clutching his stomach. That would be a fatal wound if he didn't get medical attention quickly.

".... no amount of money is worth this" thought Sam. Whoever that man with the Katana was, he made himself an enemy today; one that would haunt him until the day he died. And Sam vowed that day would come quite shortly. Sam would avenge Luis.... that was the only thing left on his mind.

" the mission. the mission. YOU WILL DIE, MISTER SCOTT!!!!"

___________________________

Now it would be Edward Marini's turn to make an inspiring speech. Although many fled from battle just a few minutes ago, his shouting and confidence in the face of danger inspired a few of the panicked souls to turn around and stand their ground. In fact, almost everyone returned... there was no place to hide from this creature, not in Dark Falls... a godforsaken town in the middle of the mountains of Montana. With the viral outbreak, there was no telling if there was even a safe place outside of the city.

"You are not in Kansas anymore; you are in Dark Falls, ladies and gentlemen. Respect that fact every second of every day. If there is a hell, you might wanna go there for some R&R after a tour in Dark Falls. Out there beyond that bridge, every living thing that crawls, flies or squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes for jujubes. There are indigenous populations of humanoids in there called Omega creatures and zombies. They are very hard to kill. There are even other creatures in there which could inflict such terrors on your frail minds that I do not even dare describe them to you out of fear that your peanut brains will implode. If you wish to survive, you need to cultivate a strong mental attitude people. Now let’s go and hunt some unfriendlies..."

Bruce Miguel was there, and he loaded up his gun for one more round of fun. He shouted his approval, and so did Arthur Lester, who made sure his RCP90 was fully polished before the battle.

"Hooo-rah!" they shouted. Perhaps this time, they would fell the massive beast. And Edward had a special surprise for that opportunistic piece of filth that fired on them last time. He patted his grenade launcher, and whispered words of encouragement to the weapon, almost as a man would encourage his love to have faith in him.

Sure enough, the freakish flaming monster was still stomping around in a daze, bleeding from its wounds, but slowly regenerating. Now, the small group charged forward, guns blazing.

Patrick fired at the creature with his weapon, the bullet impacting the great creature in the arm, causing no damage. Arthur Lester aimed and fired his rocket launcher.... the missile aimed just a bit too high, sailing just over the creature's shoulder. The good doctor unloaded his Thompson Machine gun into the beast, bullets impacting the chest of the burning Goliath. Bruce Miguel stood his ground and aimed at the creature's head, hitting it in the skull. The big monster continued to charge forward, unfazed by this assault, his rage burning as brightly as the fires that were consuming his outer hide. Still they would not back down. George fired his shotgun, the blast only slightly fazing the big man, and it continued forward, raising its fists, about to unleash its terrifying wrath upon them all....

Meanwhile, Edward Marini and Bruce Miguel were on guard against the other attacker. Yes, they anticipated his return, and Edward Marini fired a grenade as soon as he saw the man. The man reacted quickly, diving out of the way of the blast, and prepared to fire his golden guns. Bruce Miguel, however, aimed his Desert Eagle and the bullet impacted one of the pistols, knocking it out of the unknown assailant's hands. He quickly scrambled to pick it up, and fled the scene, clearly outmatched.

Patrick knew if he stood his ground, he would receive a terrible punishment, but still he did not waver. He aimed his pistol carefully at the beast, who was about to smash him flat into the pavement with its giant fist, and fired. The bullet impacted El Gigante in the eye, causing him to stagger a bit in pain. Arthur Lester stepped forward, positioning himself directly in front of the bent over creature, and unloaded his machine pistol directly into the face of the hated Gigante.

"WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!! TASTE HOT LEAD, YOU DISGUSTING FREAK!!! THIS IS FOR ANGELA CHAMBERS, A WOMAN WE ALL LOVED!!!"

The machine pistol fired at an astounding rate, the noise more like a buzz saw than a gun. The stream of stinging bullets went directly into the already wounded face and eyes of the massive beast, several bullets impacting the giant directly in the brain, causing extreme hemorrhaging. The titan roared, and stomped its foot, causing the ground to shake, and hitting Patrick who was standing just a bit too close, crushing the poor man underneath the giant's huge feet.

The burning, flailing monster grabbed the one known as Arthur Lester, and crushed the poor man in his powerful hand, instantly killing him. Then he took that same fist, and pounded Bruce Miguel flat into the pavement, ending the man's life with a sickening crunch.

The lumbering beast grabbed two bystanders, Ephrum the doctor, and Reenk Roink the civilian, and smashed them together, flattening them like pancakes. He tossed their limp, broken corpses in the direction of the others. He swung his massive burning fist at the other doctor, the one with the tommy gun, but the man swiftly dodged the blow.

Now, the giant was starting to lose consciousness, and roared one last time, directly into the night sky.... and fell forward.

Edward Marini and George reacted quickly, rolling out of the path of the 20-foot tall titan as it lurched foward, attempting to crush them both with its massive, burning frame. They both just BARELY escaped being crushed to death by the huge beast. The creature then began to dissolve, its death causing the body to disintegrate... melting into a slimy, writhing mass of stinking green filth. bits of bones and organs were all that remained, and what did remain continued to burn.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

In the year of our Lord 2009, patriots of Montana, starving and wounded, charged the hated El Gigante on streets of Dark Falls.

They fought like warrior poets.

They fought like Scotsmen.

And won their freedom.


Just then, Edward Marini doubled over, and began convulsing. He coughed up blood everywhere, and passed out.
