The setting is a town called Dark Falls, a fictional town in the United States. A terrible accident at a local bio-research facility has resulted in an outbreak of an experimental bio-agent, a new strain of the so-called Omega virus. These events take place years after the original viral outbreak at Raccoon City, and the United States government has moved quickly to quarantine the area. Because there are thousands of lives at stake, and the political fallout from Raccoon City being nuked was rather severe, there is a rescue plan in operation. There will be only a few ways in or out of the quarantine zone, where victims of the outbreak and potential carriers will be placed inside vehicles which will transport people to a sealed underground facility for a thorough screening and observation process. If they exhibit no signs of the virus, or they are able to fight it off, they will be released after an extended stay.
However, exiting the town will be rather difficult. During the initial rioting, the local government sealed off the routes out of the town, as the federal government had not arrived yet. After the local law enforcement and many officials got infected by the Omega-II strain, steps were taken by these newly insane individuals to make it almost impossible to escape. Bridges were blown up, tunnels collapsed, and security walls, barbed wire, explosives, and infected dogs were deployed around the town, to allow further transformation to take place. But there is still Route 3, the main highway that runs north toward Canada. The United States government has deployed the rescue teams just outside the quarantine zone, on this highway. Leaflets were dropped urging people to exit in small groups and head to the rendezvous point in an orderly fashion. Presently there's no way to safely get to this highway, but it should be possible to break through the barricades and the zombies.
While some are trying to escape from Dark Falls, there are others interested in getting in. Some for nefarious purposes, some not. And some are trying to actively prevent people from leaving... the battle for the souls trapped inside Dark Falls begins.
THE FACTIONS
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Townspeople:
People who begin with basic skills, often starting in small groups. They rely on each other to stay alive. When they die, they turn into zombies, as they have all been exposed to the Omega virus. A minimum number of townspeople must escape from Dark Falls alive. The more who manage to do this, the better the town's overall score. In order to escape from Dark Falls, certain obstacles must be overcome, and certain items must be found.
Mercenaries:
These are trained, intermediate skilled fighters hired by the Umbrella Corporation, or their rival, Syntech. Some are actually rescue teams... others not so much. Their objective depends on who hired them. Each has an individual goal which may help, harm, or do nothing to the town.
Zombies:
These are fallen townies whose only objective is to convert more people into zombies. These are infected by the Omega Virus. Objective for the Zombies: Eat, eat, eat... kill the townspeople and turn them into the walking dead... spreading the seed of destruction further.
Plague Demons:
You don't know much about them, but you know these are terrifyingly frightening creatures. Don't even begin to think of them as human. Objective for the Plague Demons: It's a secret...
Secret Factions:
You will have to wait and be surprised.
HOW TO PLAY
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
How do I play this game?
You will be getting a ROLE which contains all relevant information about your character, with information about your personal mission. You'll have goals you wish to reach. You will also likely wish to take the points you are given and allocate them to your character in several categories, giving your character strengths in some categories, and possibly weaknesses in others. Or you can accept a perfectly balanced, bland character.
Strength: (The sheer amount of physical strength one has; to lift heavy objects, move obstacles, or hold back zombies from behind a barricade. Minimum strength thresholds allow certain actions)
Speed: (How fast you can move and react. You should be able to outrun enemies with this. If you are faster than the zombies, you could be very good with a melee weapon, able to do several attacks in a given turn)
Stealth: (How good you are at avoiding awareness checks from zombies or even other humans. This can help you hide from them. However, some creatures can smell you, or sense your heat source...)
Awareness: (How good you are at noticing hidden objects, or detecting clues, or sensing other players. High awareness allows you to gain a better sense of your surroundings and notice dangers.)
Combat: (How good you are at fighting, in terms of training and accuracy and deflecting blows. The better this rating is, the better you will survive assaults by trained forces or zombies. But nothing stops a bullet to your head or an explosive to your gut)
Luck: (This is your saving throw in case your other skills aren't up to snuff. It can help you avoid bullet fire and also help you "accidentally" make correct decisions, if you decide to flee from danger, your luck might make you flee in the correct direction.
Vitality: How much damage you can take before dying
Skill set: If you have special abilities, these go here
Item box: You can only carry so many items without being encumbered by their weight or bulk. Too many items will slow you down. You will also be restricted from doing certain actions if you're armed to the teeth. Game will be as "realistic" as I can make it.
Right off the bat, you will be told where you are on the map, and you'll have to make a decision as to how to proceed. You won't know too much at the beginning, so it is OK to make just about any choice. Do you stay where you are, or do you explore? Most likely, you'll explore.
1. Decide where you want to go on the map. You are aware of your starting location and your immediate surroundings, and you also have a reliable map of Dark Falls, since you live there, you're aware of the general layout. Make sure you don't die there.
2. You will be allowed to move a certain distance (radius) from your location, based on your speed and how much you're carrying. You will know how far on the grid you can move in any given phase. If this changes, I'll tell you. Your character card will also serve as a reference so you know how far you can move.
3. Decide what actions you wish to take when you get there. You can be purely aggressive, and wipe out anything you see... which can have good or bad consequences. You can be cautious and react depending on the situation, which can have good or bad consequences. You can be diplomatic and try to ally with other townsfolk and try to work together, which leaves you more vulnerable. You can also choose to exhaustively search the area once you get there, which also leaves you vulnerable to surprise attacks. You can also choose to move there slowly, so you arrive after other people might, and try to sneak attack them. If they are prepared, however, they will get the drop on YOU.
Movement and combat system:
You begin the round with an "awareness radius" around you. You can see any non-stealth mode players inside this awareness radius, but won't be able to identify anyone for certain unless you are standing in the same grid coordinate as you. You have a chance of identifying someone in the adjacent grid squares with a higher awareness rating.
Before you move, you have the option of doing the following, instead of moving.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
ENGAGE TARGET: uses movement points to prevent someone in your zone of control (your square and the 8 surrounding you) from performing their movement out of your range without at least one round of combat. Only works on one target in your zone of control. This is a manual command. It will not function without your explicit orders, and it also doesn't work against those who were engaged in combat with you in the previous round and chose to flee. This happens instead of movement orders.
SNIPER RIFLE: You may fire your long-range weapon once at anyone in your awareness radius. This counts as your move for the round.
SEARCH THOROUGHLY: Executes the search command. This is a manual command. It will not function without your explicit orders. This kind of search attempts to locate anything inside your zone of control (9 squares) and is more effective than the usual search command. This counts as your move for the round.
STEALTH MODE: Hides in this location. This is a manual command. It will not function without your explicit orders. This is your move for the round.
If you instead decide to move to a new location, you can set your character to automatically do the following when you get there:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
1. Berserker - Kill anything you see who isn't a known ally of yours.
(Automatically gets a first strike against all targets in your grid location)
2. Assassinate - Try to kill anyone you see while in stealth mode. This is basically the same thing as Berserker, but you try to get the drop on them while engaged in stealth. If you defeat them, you will still be in stealth mode! The risk here is that they spot you coming and attack first.
(This gives a first strike to any opponent who wins the awareness check against your stealth rating, but if they fail, you have an automatic first strike against them in your grid location)
3. Vigilante - Kill anything that doesn't look human
(Targets zombies and other non-human creatures in a first strike, but doesn't fire first on humans or things that look human in your grid location)
4. Stealth Vigilante - Kill anything that doesn't look human while in stealth mode. After combat, you will return to stealth mode.
(This gives a first strike to any opponent who wins the awareness check -in your grid location- against your stealth rating, but if they fail, you have a automatic first strike against non-human creatures. You do not attack any humans.)
5. Defensive - Kill anything that attacks you.
(Doesn't gain a first strike against anyone, but automatically returns fire against anyone who attacks you in your grid location, adds to your defense rolls.)
6. Stealth- Hide from everyone; pure stealth mode.
(This gives a first strike to any opponent in your grid location who wins the awareness check against your stealth rating, but if they fail, you remain hidden and do not attack them.)
7. Search quickly- Search this grid location for anything you can find.
(This is useful if you don't intend to stay in this location for longer than one round, but it only searches one square instead of nine. Basically a "search on the move" order)
8. Cooperate- Seek alliance with anyone who also seeks alliance.
(Automatically gives first strike to your opponent, who can use this to attack you in your grid location. If they also seek alliance, you will never automatically attack them, you must order the attack manually. Anyone who sees you in their awareness radius will know you seek an alliance)
BATTLE MODE: If you engage in combat, do you stand your ground until death, or do you run away and fight another day? If you both stand your ground, you attack one another over several "rounds" of battle (all within this turn) until one of you dies. Standing your ground may be a good idea if you are in a group, as your group won't scatter during the fight.
NOTE: YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE IN RUN AWAY MODE IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
HOLD YOUR GROUND- No retreat. Either they retreat or you fight to the death. If they retreat, you know which direction they moved.
RUN AWAY- Retreat after the first combat round. You do not know which direction your attacker moves.
Ok, sound complicated? Here, let me try to simplify it for you.
This is your Zone of Control.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
You are marked in the center, the white X. The black area in your square and the 8 surrounding you is your "Zone of control". At the start of the round, there may be no one standing inside your zone of control. If there is someone, you can attack them before they leave your zone of control. Likely, you will only be able to engage in one combat round's worth of battle before they leave, unless they decided to engage you as well in combat. But this won't happen unless you tell me so.
This could be your awareness radius (larger or smaller)
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Some of you may have a high awareness, and perhaps a long range weapon like a sniper rifle. You can use this turn to "snipe" at anyone you see inside your awareness radius. But you can't move. You also lose the first strike attempt against anyone attacking you, because you're focused on sniping, not your surroundings.
You may instead decide to search the entire area that is your "zone of control". That takes time. You are considered "busy" and won't get the first strike if someone attacks you.
You can also attempt to simply hide. This might be useful after you just killed someone and have no wish to move anywhere just yet... or you think this is a good location to stand your ground.
If you elect not to do any of these things, you'll move:
Anywhere inside your movement radius. Here is a sample movement radius:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
You'll then execute your post-movement behavior order, and your battle order, which could be any combination of several orders, example:
Defensive mode, but Run Away if there's combat.
Assassination mode, and Hold your ground if there's combat.
Stealth, Run Away.
Search, Run Away.
Vigilante, Hold your ground.
And so on, and so on.
If you elect to run away, then you have no choice but to flee in a more or less random direction in the next round, and give your post-movement behavior order again, and your battle order again.
Still looks confusing?
Okay. It's actually quite simple... Here's some sample commands.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
"Askthepizzaguy, I wish to search my zone of control this round instead of moving". Set mode to Run Away if there's combat.
Done.
"Askthepizzaguy, I wish to use my sniper rifle against the target distance 3 north and 1 west of me, instead of moving. Set mode to Run away if there's combat."
Done.
"Askthepizzaguy, I wish to engage in combat with the person adjacent to me in my zone of control, directly southwest of me, instead of moving. Set mode to Stand my ground."
Done.
"Askthepizzaguy, I wish to move diagonally up and to the left 2 squares. When I get there, engage Defensive mode and Run Away if there's combat."
Done.
"Askthepizzaguy, I wish to move 4 squares to the north, and when I get there, offer Cooperation to anyone who seeks it, and Run Away if there's combat."
Done.
"Askthepizzaguy, I wish to stay put and offer Cooperation to anyone who seeks it, and Stand my ground if here's combat."
Done.
"Askthepizzaguy, I wish to move 3 squares diagonally southwest, and go into Berserk mode when I get there. Stand my ground if there's combat... kill them all!
Done. See? Not that hard... but you have a lot of options, so you have a lot of control over how you wish to move and play your character, and what tactics and strategies you use.
Specific commands:
"Askthepizzaguy, when I move to the new location (police station) attempt to enter the building.
Or-
attempt to ascend the building and get on the roof.
Or-
Or attempt to hide behind the bushes... or whatever."
You've got a lot of options. You can tell me you want to get up on the roof and try to be a sniper, taking out anyone you see in your awareness radius. Your height advantage might give you an extra stealth point.
Or perhaps you hide behind the building, where you find a bunch of metal trash cans. You could use the lid as a shield and see what happens. Maybe you gain an item which gives you some sort of defense. Maybe you open the lid and a zombie pops out. You never know.
You can also give me detailed instructions on combat:
Detailed combat:
"Askthepizzaguy, I want to use my shotgun first, and then switch to my machine gun for the remainder of combat. I aim for the head." And I'll try to be realistic here. If for example you asked to aim for the head, what if they had head protection? It has a greater chance of failing. If they don't, it has a greater chance of working. And so on. You could also suggest to me that you want to run away (countermanding your stay and fight order) if you run into a zombie horde. I'm not a robot, you can give me detailed instructions, it does compute.
If you have a special item like a grenade, obviously you have to tell me to use it, even if you have no other items. I don't want to waste your items.
"Askthepizzaguy, I want to backstab the group that I am "allied" with inside my zone of control. I use my grenade and blow up as many of them as I can, then I switch to my Shotgun. I set mode to Run Away.... hehehehe.... kill them and then run away before the rest of them can do much damage!"
CHARACTER CARDS
Here's an example of what your character card will look like.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
YOUR NAME- This is your name, obviously.
A sample image of your character:
Your stats: (This tells you how many points you have in each category. If you lose all your vitality points, you die)
You have 28 allocatable points to spend on your character. (Some will have more than others)
MISSION: -This describes your character and his/her objectives
You are ___YOUR NAME HERE___. Your objective is to get yourself and your fellow townspeople out of Dark Falls alive. Your personal survival is your objective, but this is a team game. The more townies survive, the better your overall score. However, your personal score drops when you die.
Your best bet after that, if you become a zombie, is to go for a zombie victory and hope for the best.
GOALS: -If the game ends and these conditions are met, you get a better overall score!
1. Survive
2. Escape from Dark Falls by any means necessary
ABILITIES: (If you had any abilities, they might go here)
Example: Regeneration (replaces 1 lost vitality per phase until maximum)
MOVEMENT:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The white x represents the square you are in. You may move anywhere inside the green zone, unless that exceeds the playing area.
AWARENESS:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The white x represents the square you are in. You are aware of things which happen inside your awareness zone... perhaps not fully, but you have some data.
Zone of control:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
People inside your zone of control are susceptible to being targeted on the next round before they can even move! It costs your own movement to do this, however, and you can only target one player.
For the purposes of "sniper" actions, anyone inside your AWARENESS RADIUS is considered inside your zone of control.
ITEMS:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Green Herb
(Restores 2 Vitality)
Can be combined with Red Herb for FULL RESTORE
Can be combined with Yellow Herb for Restore 3, +1 Vitality
Can be combined with Red and Yellow Herb for FULL RESTORE +2 Vitality
WEAPONS:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Basic Handgun (10)
Damage: 1 vitality point per combat round.
Speed: 1 bullet per combat round.
Reload: Can fire 10 bullets before reloading (useless during the next 15 minutes)
ACTION PHASE
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The Action Phase
What is it? Well, this is when it is your turn to send me your orders for the day. You have either just started the game and gotten your character card, Role PM, and your starting location on the map, and you wish to make your first move, or
This is not your first move, so you got an update on your progress from the previous phase and now it is your turn to move again. The update will be sent to you privately and it will tell you your status, your ammunition left, your health, and what happened to you.
If you don't know what to do during the action phase, first make sure you've read the How To Play section. Then, read the Frequently Asked Questions section, it might help. If all else fails ask me a question, and I'll do my best to answer it. I can't tell you how to play, but if you need options, I can explain what your possible options are as briefly as I can. Some of them will be bad ideas, but they are still options.
This phase will last 24 hours if I have most of the orders. I might extend it to 48 hours if you guys need the extra time, but please send in your orders ASAP.
WRITEUP PHASE
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The Writeup Phase
What is it? Well, someone needs to take your 60-80 different orders and do something with it. That means carry out your orders. This is the most labor-intensive part of the game, and good news! You don't have to do it. That's my job. I search the area you wanted me to search, carry out your battle and non-battle orders, update your health, ammo, items list, etc... and then I give you a summary of what happened in your update, which I will send out as promptly as I can.
If I get my butt handed to me, this phase could take a full 24 hours. If I really need the help, I might extend it until it is all done, but I will END the writeup phase as soon as humanly possible. I'm just a boy... my processor can only carry out one command at a time.

1. Am I allowed to talk to you outside the thread about the game? (referring to the game host)
A: Yes of course, and you may also talk to anyone in your square, in an adjacent square, or if you have a communications device and so does your friend. Think: Two-way radio. The instant you are out of contact, however.... you move too far away.... you can't talk to them anymore. Not without that radio device.
2. How do you find out if anyone is there?
A: You will be "aware" of them. There is an awareness radius around you directly related to your "awareness rating". The larger the rating, the more you see. By "see", I mean I'll tell you they are there. If they are close enough you can even tell which player they are, and you'll be able to contact them if they are within your zone of control, which is 1 square radius around you. Now ask me how you make allies.
3. How do you make allies?
A: You have to set your mode to "cooperation" and see if anyone else is in "cooperation" mode within your zone of control. If so, then you become allies. If they aren't right next to you... perhaps a couple squares away, you will be allowed to "meet" in a square that is the median distance between you on the next turn. If you do this then you may become allies. You will never automatically fire at your ally, regardless of what attack mode you're in. However, you can override that at any time by telling me you wish to kill your ally. Ain't I a stinker?
4. I am very interested in the premise of the game and would like to join, but I am worried about the amount of time I will have to spend on it. So basically my question is it the type of game that requires a lot time or is it more of the type where I can get away with spending only a little bit on it every day when I'm busy but then get more involved as my time frees up?
A: Yes exactly! The action phases (player's order send-in phase) are 48 hours long unless I have all your orders. And then it takes another 24 hours for the host to roll the dice, move the people, and send out 80 reports to 80 players. So a few minutes every 3 days. It should be fun, but not at all taxing of your time.
5. which skill makes you use weapons the best... Combat?
A: That's a good question. If you mean the actual combat itself, then:
Melee weapons: Combat, Speed, and Strength
Ranged weapons: Combat
Although high stealth can get you first strikes much easier, and help you avoid combat if you wish.
Awareness will help you avoid getting surprise attacked with first strikes and can help you get first strikes against those who use stealth on you. Luck helps you avoid damage, but not consistently. Basically all skills come up in combat, but as for dealing damage, you want to have some combat skills.
6. Can you attack some one without them attacking back?
A: Yes. A first strike will cause damage without retaliation on the first round of combat. Then if they are set to "run away" they won't counterattack they will just run. There will be no second round of combat.
7. What about sniper shots?
A: Snipers are a different beast. If you choose to "sniper", you must have a long range weapon (sniper weapon), not every gun can do this. When you sniper someone, you don't move that turn, and you fire at someone in your awareness radius. They cannot counterattack unless they also happened to be sniping at you at the same time. And they will only see you if they already saw you.
8. Can different factions work together / not automatically attack each other?
A: Yes.
9. What about zombies, can I work with the zombies? Or the plague demons?
A: Zombies are different, they cannot cooperate with you. They are part of the zombie horde and have limitations on what they can do. And uh, the plague demons aren't friendly...
10. Are we able to make noise? Our awarness is limited but sound travels a long way.
A: Well, that's good thinking, but it goes against the limitations of what I designed the game to do. Let's pretend if you were to do something like that, the entire zombie horde comes after you, and that's the reason why you can't. However, there is something in the game, the flare gun, which if you fire it into the air, everyone on the map can see it. You can use that to rally people to your location... or lure them into a trap.
11. Do we start with 0 points on everything? When choosing what to add points to, Is there a limit to the amount of points I can assign to any one attribute ?
A: You start with all your points evenly distributed. You can choose to take away points from one category and add it to the other. So if you don't assign your points, all your skill sets will have an average number of points. And yes, your maximum points in a category at the start of the game is 10.
12. If I'm attacked does the attack take a fixed amount of my vitality or does it vary? Could I die in one strike (with no chance to fight back or run away), or would it take many?
A: Some weapons will cause more than one point of damage if you are hit successfully. Yes, you can die in one strike with certain weapons. For example: If you get blasted by the rocket-propelled grenade, you can possibly die instantly (especially if your luck fails). If you get hit repeatedly by an automatic weapon (several shots fired in one combat round) you can lose enough vitality to die that round. Also, some players will have the strength, speed, and skill to cause severe damage with melee weapons.
However, any attack which removes your final vitality point gets a special 50/50 "saving throw". If you win the "saving throw" you will survive the attack and keep your final vitality point.
13. Can this save throw be used multiple times? Seems like you could survive a long time if you get lucky.
Yes. Every time your final vitality point is taken away, you have a 50/50 chance at life or death.
This means someone can shoot at you with a machine pistol 4 times in a combat round, and have you miraculously survive each bullet. Or you could die on the first one.
14. Also can you combine the 'cooperate' and 'vigilante' statuses so that you try to ally with humans but attack any zombies?
No, and here's why:
Alliances will be a powerful strategic advantage. In order to gain access to the benefits of alliances, players have to risk something. The first thing they have to risk is being betrayed, but as it stands there are quite a few more townspeople than there are anti-townspeople. So the risk is real, but not completely prohibitive. The second thing they have to risk is their immediate safety during that round.
In order to indicate to someone you just met, in a survival situation, with crazy murderous psychos around, that you aren't a threat... you have to approach them with caution, with your weapons lowered, obviously and visually non-threatening. This is the only way they will be willing to trust you. Or, for the sake of the game being a challenge, that is what I have deemed necessary. If you do this, you risk being the victim of a first strike, much like being caught in stealth mode causes such a risk. In order to gain something you must risk something. Your weapon being lowered means anything in the area that is hostile to humans will attack you first, and that's what you risk.
On subsequent phases you may be more aggressive, but your ally (which you now recognize and trust) will never be a target of your weapons fire ever again, unless you tell me you wish to attack them specifically.
15. When are you allowed to combine orders, and when is it not allowed?
Here I have to say I am not sure. It depends on what the orders are, and I'll have to make a ruling depending on the situation.
If you wanted to do two incompatible things, such as "search" and "stealth" (how can you search thoroughly and remain hidden at the same time?) I have to rule against it.
There is an area where I will say yes, you can do this: You can issue a "stand your ground" order with exceptions. For example: You could order me to have your character stand his/her ground in battle until you are in danger of death, and then run away. Say you had 8 vitality points, and you felt confident enough to stand your ground... well, you risk death if you stand your ground against a more powerful foe or a group of attackers. So, let's say you lost 6 vitality in that battle, and you decided more than that is too much to risk. You could tell me you wish to leave the battle if you lose 50% of your health or more, or a certain number of vitality points (VP).
That kind of specificity I can handle, because I feel removing that option from the players would limit creativity while also gaining nothing in terms of simplicity, and balance. It allows intelligent play without sacrificing much of anything, and it isn't hard for me to implement, so it's in.
The trouble with some orders is that they are mutually exclusive of other orders. I can't combine the advantages (and therefore cancel out the risk) of say, cooperation attempts and also aggressive actions. One is a passive action, the other is aggressive. For the purposes of this game, in order to gain the advantage of one you have to lose the advantage of the other. The best compromise there is vigilante mode, where you attack non-humans only. If you see someone requesting cooperation while you're in vigilante mode, you might stay put and offer the same next round, hoping they also stay put and continue requesting cooperation. The risk there is that they don't stay put and you lose a round while also leaving yourself vulnerable.
To make headway in this game you have to risk something. Risk moving too far into unexplored territory.... risk losing time by staying put... risk your life and health by doing aggressive actions... risk giving up the first strike to aggressive people by doing passive or defensive actions... risk being sneaked up on while doing sniper actions.... and so on and so forth. To gain, you must risk. That is how I maintain game balance and ensure fairness, and also make it so there is no single correct strategy for the game which breaks it, or makes it dull and uninteresting.
16. Not sure if this has been asked before. Can you have more then two weapons? Eg, can you have a sniper rifle and a sub machine gun at the same time?
Yes. You can carry an unlimited number of weapons and items and gear, but at a certain point I will tack on a penalty to your speed, which reduces your ability to fight in melee situations, and reduces your movement points on the map. I will do this when (in my judgment) you have several heavy weapons or you have a super-heavy weapon. This will not apply if you keep the total number of weapons in your inventory to a reasonable amount that you think you could actually carry in real life.
For example it's possible to carry several pistols without a problem. Several gun holsters makes it easy. You might also strap a couple of machine pistols to your legs. You might have a sniper rifle with a strap around your shoulder, and a shotgun in your hands.
What would be a neat trick is carrying a rifle, a shotgun, and a grenade launcher. At that point, you aren't going to be moving around as well or as fast. Now pile on 4 more guns and try beating anyone in a melee battle. I want to keep it as realistic as possible in my judgment.
17. Also, a related point: During any given combat round can you use more than one weapon, perhaps one in each hand fired simultaneously?
You can use a different weapon on a different combat round, but not two different ones in the same round. The one exception is if you're using two guns that come as a pair. For example there's a pair of machine pistols that come as a pair and effectively count as one weapon. In all other cases, there are no exceptions.
18. Can you combine two similar pistols and treat them as a pair?
No. Pistols will be relatively common and there will be little point in having automatic weapons in the game when you could effectively turn common pistols into an automatic weapon simply by holding one in each hand. I know this breaks the realism a bit, but it's for the purposes of simplicity (I have made only rare sacrifices in realism for the sake of simplicity) and game balance. If I allowed that, I'd have to make automatic weapons even more powerful than they already are, and then anyone with automatic weapons will destroy anyone with any other kind of weapon, and that's a game balance issue. They are already powerful enough and I do not believe two handguns are more powerful than a single sub-machine gun, and that's the only reason I won't allow combining two weapons.
I really would if I could, but I'd need to re-work the game mechanics and I like them as they are. Maybe next game.
19. Do I need to know anything about Resident Evil?
Nope, you don't need to know anything about Resident evil. For people who aren't fans of the series:
1. The dead people in this game turn into zombies and keep playing. They can be killed with weapons, or you can outrun them.
2. There are non-human creatures that are much bigger and stronger than you. Especially the crowd-busting creature that I will be sending after you. He's about 20 feet tall.
3. Herbs can be mixed together to make heath items or attribute-boosting items.
4. There will be almost no one from the Resident Evil games in this game. 98% of you are all new characters. Yes, you have images that look like RE characters, but that's because I'm not about to make 60 brand-new images. These are new characters, with the rare exception.
5. Some of your fellow townsfolk may simply wish to kill you and take your weapons and items, to increase their chance of survival. Others want you eliminated anyway because they aren't ordinary townsfolk.
20. Can I go into the river?
There may be zombie fish which will um.... eat you.
Like piranhas, except they are undead and super, super strong and extra bloodthirsty.
STAY OUT OF THE WATER!!!
21. Does the river have sharks?
I would have sharks, but this particular mountain river doesn't have any.
22. How can I counter Snipers?
Combat, then Luck, then Vitality. Awareness will help you locate a sniper if indeed they are within your awareness range and they fail your awareness check. No extra bonus for defense there I'm afraid.
23. Is 4 awareness with 7 luck much worse than 7 awareness with 4 luck? I get the other perks of those stats just fine, but here we have a bit of overlap.
Luck tends to get you rarer items when you find them, or it helps you find items when you aren't even looking for them. But awareness is what will tend to find you items when you're searching for them. (items/weapons etc)
24. As a Botanist, does it mean that i have a 50% chance of finding herbs (during search mode) regardless of awareness? or does it mean x1.5 chance to whatever awareness stat?
50% during search mode regardless.
25. If i increase awareness, would this chance increase with it?
Nope, just your chance of finding OTHER items and weapons.
26. the combined herbs that give +1 or +2 vitality; that essentially means getting more stats points right?
All of your stats can increase depending on which herbs you find. Some herbs heal you. The really good herbs are rare.
27. Is there a limit to the number of items we can carry?
Nope
28. combat is good for guns but not so for melee yes?
Combat is important in all forms of... combat. Strength and Speed just enhance you damage and number of attacks you do in melee. But think of combat as your TO-HIT-YOUR-OPPONENT percentage no matter what.
29. What's the difference between strength and combat?
Combat is your To-hit-your-opponent percentage. Strength, as it pertains to combat, relates only to melee, and it increases the damage of your physical attack weapon, not your guns, if any.
30. Probability of snipers? Is their detection roll down to weapon alone, awareness alone or both combined?
If you're asking probability of snipers hitting you, it relates to their combat rating versus yours. So someone who already doesn't do well in combat would make a poor sniper. However, sniper rifles often lower their opponent's luck, which means that any damage you take will probably not get deflected.
Speed, how far you move is in post 142 of the discussion thread, Strength increases the amount of damage in melee combat based on a strength-minimum system. You must have x amount of strength to add 1 vitality point worth of damage in combat, and x amount of strength to add 2.
31. Can people inside a group have different commands? For example, one guy is in search mode, while the other is guarding in Vigilante mode and the third is in Cooperation mode?
People inside a group can have different commands, absolutely!
32. Can players give other players gifts or exchange equipment?
Yes, players can gift or exchange equipment. Both parties inform the host of their intent, and they must be in the same square or adjacent squares.

1. Observe all the Gameroom rules as posted in the Gameroom subforum. They are stickied for easy reference. The major thing that applies to this game is sportsmanship, because unlike most games, there are some aspects of the game I simply cannot police. I need you to be mature and not do things which break the game, as described here.
2. PRIVATE COMMUNICATION outside the thread about the game is not allowed unless specified exactly by the game host. No seriously, this is the biggest rule of them all. You cannot communicate telepathically across a city, so unless you have an item which allows such communication, you cannot talk to your friends or enemies about the game in any way shape or form. You may mention the game in passing to a friend who is not playing if you wish, but do not divulge your current stats, weapons, location, or other sensitive personal information. You never know who your friend might tell that information to... and having your friend communicate this information to other players on purpose is an intentional rule break and it is not allowed, no exceptions. If someone accidentally breaks this rule, please inform me immediately, and I'll send them a friendly warning. This is the best outcome for that situation. Otherwise, you're on the hook for this rule break as well.
ENFORCEMENT:
This particular rule is so important, that I need to be informed of any accidental rule breaks here immediately, to maintain the game balance. It is possible to keep playing, but there may be a penalty. Depending on the situation, I may have to release you from the game. However I value honesty and you may play other games of mine. Repeated or (In My Opinion) Intentional rule breaks will result in a ban from my games. Sorry. I am a pretty fair person, you'd have to really be doing wrong to be tossed out of my games. And if you get banned, you'd have to be doing something that would get you banned from other people's games too.
3. Screenshots or quoting/full revealing your Character Card or Private Message Role "Role PM" is also explicitly banned. However, you may tell people your name, your general objective, and what items or weapons you have, at your own peril. Just do not copy/paste my role PM, and do not ask anyone to reveal their role PM. Remember, the above rule (Number Two) still applies... you can't reveal anything to anyone you don't have contact with. (This means you need to have a method of communication, or you need to be in the same grid coordinate or you need to be in adjacent grid coordinates)
4. When you die
Hey, this is a survival game, but in games, sometimes you lose. It's not the end of the world. And, in this case, it's probably not the end of the game either. You can continue play as a zombie, provided you be a good sport and not break any of my rules, and you're OK giving up your previous allegiances and absorbing a new role and win condition. If the zombies lose the game, you should hope your original team wins. However, you get a better score if your new role (The zombies) win. If you go bananas because you died, I might ask a mod to delete your posts and remove you from the game. Be nice.
5. PUBLIC COMMUNICATION:
Much of the same rules apply to public communication as they do to private communication. You still cannot reveal your current location on the map or any private information. There will probably not be much public discussion... this is a game of hidden movements. However, you can comment on what you think of the public writeup (the update to the game everyone sees) or ask a question of the game host which does not reveal private information of yours. After the game is over, you may also make whatever comment you wish.
ENFORCEMENT:
See how I enforce the private communication rule. Only this time, I know when the rule has been broken and I'll warn against it immediately.
6. Other rules
If I need to adjust the rules or aspects of the game, I as the host have the prerogative to do so. I will attempt to keep my hands off, but I've never hosted a game like this before, and if I need to make a final balancing adjustment to the game or add or remove elements of the game, I reserve that right.
However, every change I make to the game (if any) will be logged and made public, with apologies that I did not do my job as a game designer and iron out any difficulties beforehand. If this change affects your character or your play in any way, you reserve the right to protest such an action, and you will get my sincere apologies. If I accidentally made your weapon too powerful, then I have learned my lesson for next time. However, if there is a major problem with the game (such as the LUCK stat being too powerful that it prevented normal combat) I may adjust its strength, globally, and announce that change. Other than that, I really have to leave the game as-is and hope for the best. Any change will be made in good faith and with the best interests of fairness and fun.
7. Phase length
All phases will be timed and based on either a 24 or 48 hour length, with the time adjusted to meet Eastern Standard Time (United States), which I believe is GMT -5:00 hours.
I will not end your action phases early. I may end my own writeup phase as soon as it is done, and just grant you the extra time as part of the next action phase, for your pleasure, convenience, and to keep the game moving.
I reserve the right to add a new rule here, if I need to do so I will announce it. Otherwise, just seven rules to worry about.

11 years after the viral outbreak at Raccoon City... the world was a very different place. Every nation on Earth was gearing up to deal with the threat of bio-terrorism... arming themselves to deal with the hordes of zombies which sprung up everywhere... it was a worldwide pandemic, and a new kind of warfare. Some warring states had decided to use the virus as a weapon against their enemies. Turning a hostile nation's population against itself would virtually guarantee there would be no resistance. Some militant factions, terrorist organizations, and resistance movements wished to seize samples of the virus for themselves, so they too could inflict pain and terror on their enemies. The Omega virus was slightly different from the other strains; it only seemed to infect a small percentage of the population. But when it was successful, it turned ordinary people into titans... psychotic, murderous titans. It was not particularly revolutionary, as several versions of a similar virus had produced more catastrophic results. The Umbrella corporation, in its final days, perfected the Omega-I strain. But then it was put on the shelf when the company collapsed.
With the world in chaos, national politics have changed dramatically. The United States Senate is now, and for the first time in modern history, without a Republican or Democratic majority. A third party has emerged... the Hawk party. Their agenda is quite simple; protect the United States at any cost, withdraw from the United Nations, and arm the country to the teeth against the threat of bio-terrorism. And if that means developing biological weapons as well, so be it.
Under contract to the United States government, a new pharmaceutical research company known as SynTech has picked up where Umbrella left off. They have managed to obtain a sample of the Omega virus, and have been working to perfect it. Since new vaccines, treatments and quarantine methods have reduced the threat of the T-virus and related strains, it was necessary to stay on the cutting edge of biological warfare, otherwise the United States would risk being the only major industrialized nation without an effective deterrent against attack. Now SynTech has produced a new prototype of the next generation of biological weapons: The Omega-II virus. This virus can infect people simply by touch, rather than by entering the bloodstream directly. However, this process takes much longer than by entering the bloodstream.
Not content to stay out of this struggle, several shadowy organizations, corporations, and criminal enterprises have allied together to protect their interests, and have re-formed the Umbrella corporation. No longer a publicly traded company, and bearing only some resemblance to the previous Umbrella corporation, the common denominator is that the new Umbrella corporation has tracked down and re-hired many of the executives, researchers, and security forces that they used to be affiliated with. They also have a similar corporate philosophy... the bottom line is the only thing that matters. Win at any cost. Umbrella's methods are too harsh and too illegal for the "legitimate" government of the United States to get involved with, so they failed to obtain government backing. Umbrella doesn't like competition, and it was far more profitable to simply steal the new Omega-II strain than develop it themselves, and under the reasoning that Omega was theirs to begin with, they have attacked and destroyed one of the main SynTech biological research facilities in a large town in the mountains of Montana; Dark Falls.
The Omega-II virus was released everywhere, and the townspeople began to succumb to the illness. However, this city was built for the purpose of biological research... the stone walls around the facility, and around the city, were built as a precaution against outbreaks. There's barbed wire, vicious dogs, land mines, and other security measures. When the local government became infected, they went insane and turned these countermeasures against their own citizens... the townspeople of Dark Falls. Now the very security measures and government officials that were designed to protect them from danger were threatening to kill everyone in town, and transform them into walking biological weapons.
With SynTech and Umbrella both scrambling to secure samples of the Omega-II virus, and infected townspeople roaming around biting people, the once-peaceful town of Dark Falls had turned into a warzone. As if that weren't bad enough, there are reports of sightings of some very hostile and inhuman creatures wandering about... terrifying beasts that look like demons... or something out of a nightmare. Then there are the crazy maniacs who are roaming free, killing everything in sight... but it only gets worse! Umbrella sent a helicopter carrying something very dangerous and dropped it into the center of town. The town of Dark Falls has suddenly become seventh circle of the fiery underworld. But something more terrifying than anyone has ever seen before has emerged... something worse than all the other threats put together.
Dark Falls has a new resident.... and it is the incarnation of evil.
---------------------------
GAME BEGINS NOW!
Instructions: (please read even if it seems like a pain)
1. Please allocate your stat points to the seven categories and tell me how you've got it set up. Remember, the points you see are the default configuration IF YOU FAIL TO DISTRIBUTE THEM. You do not add points on top of the ones you see, you re-arrange the ones you see.
2. I will then be able to send you your Character Card. Keep this as well as your Role PM. Never delete your Role PM.
3. Refrain from communication about this game outside of the thread unless otherwise instructed by the host (you have specific permission to do so, or the ability to do so because you have an item or you're standing next to the other player)
4. Posts in this thread: You may post in the thread, but you're very limited in what you can say. You can't reveal where you are, what weapons you have, what your name is, what your goals are, anything. You may simply make comments about my posts. I'd prefer if you asked the questions in private so I can make sure you don't give anything away. I'd also prefer to see questions posted in the discussion thread rather than on here. In other words, I'd like to keep this thread mostly free of chatter, but you can make comments in response to my posts. Player-to-player communication I discourage here, even the legal kind.
5. The rules for the game are clearly stated in post number 4 of this thread; read them please before you play. Don't play the game without reading the rules, please... it takes 10 minutes to read them and you'll get to enjoy the game for a month or more. If you break these rules... Don't, that's all I can say.

7. I will use this thread to post announcements, write-ups, tips on how to play, and other pertinent information. Please subscribe to this thread so you don't forget to check it. It doesn't hurt to subscribe to the discussion thread either.
8. If you have a question, please read the F.A.Q section first. I will be very busy and I will courteously reply to your question even if I've been asked it 20 times. However, you will save me time and I thank you for any time you can do that for me.
9. If at any time you would like help or advice on what to do, I can talk you through what's expected of you this game. I want to make this as fun and simple for you as possible. Keep in mind any advice I give is simply this: What your present options are. I cannot advise you as to which course of action to take, and I cannot reveal which action is safer or better than another. This is for help only, not how-to-win. I can be contacted via private message, email at askthepizzaguy@yahoo.com, by instant message "Askthepizzaguy" on yahoo messenger, and Askthepizzaguy@yahoo.com on Windows Live Messenger. I prefer to use Windows Live Messenger.
I will be getting many questions asked of me via instant message and I do have a life and I also play other games, so I will respond to your instant message and any other form of communication ASAP. I like being prompt but I can't always be.
10. If you need to drop out of this game for any reason please inform me immediately. You're not obligated to play.
11. Finally, enjoy the game!

The first phase (15 minutes "in-game" time) will be over on Tuesday, December 1st, at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time (Florida, U.S.A) Please get your Stat points distributed and to me, so I can give you your character card, so you can see how far you can move and finally send in your Phase One orders, before the end of the round. If you miss the first round, you will stay exactly where you are, with the default stats, in defense mode and you will run from battle. If you miss the second round as well, I have to boot you from the game. Sorry.

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.

Now I get to go back and make corrections. Yay.

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.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
-------------------
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.

Phase two is officially over. Congratulations to everyone who remembered to send in orders. You now have 48 hours to send in your orders for Phase Three, in addition to the remaining time left today. So, 48 hours, starting from midnight tonight EST. (It's 9 PM now, EST)
If I made a mistake in your character card, let me know. Several players have been replaced by alternate players, and TheFlax will be joining the game as one of the inactives indicated in Red.

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 wakizashisword 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.

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 Harriswas 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.

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.
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.

_____________________
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.

Phase Six is officially over. Congratulations to everyone who remembered to send in orders. Congratulations to me for actually getting this one done. You now have 72 hours to send in your orders for Phase Seven, in addition to the remaining time left today. So more than 72 hours. (It's 4:00 PM now, EST) If I made a mistake in your character card, let me know. I've made plenty this phase. 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 realize that 48 hours isn't enough time, so... 72.

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.
___________________________
Tylertried 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.

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.

The man stood on the rooftop, aiming his shiny golden sniper rifle directly at the figure shuffling down in the streets below. From his rooftop fortress, he could fire at will and keep himself safe at the same time, while also seeing further than he usually could, thanks to his sniper weapon. He held his breath and gently squeezed the trigger. The Dragunov discharged, and the bullet streaked through the night sky, impacting the figure... but only slightly. Other than a hole torn through clothing, there was no damage.
The sniper cursed, and tried for a second shot, but it was too late. The figure sprinted north, and hid from sight. He contemplated chasing after the figure down below, but also considered simply finding a new target.
______________________________
The long train ride was no time for rest. Ingrid paced around while the others engaged in civil conversation. Sure, they were planning something, but the best laid plans...
More important than planning, was deciding and acting. She gripped her pair of automatic pistols and waited. Checking out the windows, there was only darkness. Surely, even in these dark times, there would be an eventual end to the darkness... a light at the end of the tunnel. One could only hope.
Hope... that's a funny concept. It doesn't change the facts of the situation: The tunnel could be collapsed. There could be zombies everywhere. There could be assassins lying in wait. The power could go out and they could all get trapped down here. Hope doesn't change any of those things. Hope can mislead you into false confidence, and false action. Or even inaction, which they simply could not afford. Ingrid knew... time was running out. This city would be swallowed by the darkness, just as this gathering of survivors had been swallowed inside the dark tunnel. Would they emerge alive?
The train slowed to a stop.... and the doors opened.
______________________________
Cindy ducked behind the polished rows of seats. The bloody corpse in the middle of the room was plenty of warning that danger was around. Not to mention, she had seen the assassin enter the building. She knew that he was probably still around. She tried to keep hidden. It would have worked, if she hadn't already been spotted. From somewhere high above her, a man with shiny golden pistols dropped down, and landed right behind her. The man stood and raised his weapons just as she turned around to face him.
*BANG BANG*
One of the bullets impacted her below the shoulder, causing severe internal damage. She counterattacked with the rifle, turning just in time to fire one of two rounds into her attacker, but her aim wasn't very good. The man fired once more at point blank range, shooting her in the stomach.
Reacting quickly, she ran and crashed through the window, and rolled out into the street. There, she clutched her bleeding wounds and ran off as fast as she could, still clinging to life.
______________________________
"Please! Help me! You've got to kill this thing!" shouted Tyler.
Olga responded. She charged toward the creature, her SL8 Rifle in hand, and fired rapidly into its chest. The towering foe, not even remotely human, swung a massive claw at Olga, knocking her down. She rolled out of harm and fired once more, aiming for the chest and head of the thing. The rifle rounds impacted everywhere, causing the creature to roar with frustration. However, it didn't seem to be in any PAIN.
The thing grabbed her and started dragging her closer and closer, preparing to spray its paralytic slime all over her body. She fired again, at close range, wounding the creature just enough to release the grip. But it swung it's massive claw once again, slashing her back, and causing severe wounds all across her spine. She needed to withdraw and take care of those wounds before she ended up dead. She took off into the nearby building, and started bandaging herself up. Looking back, she saw the large creature hand the paralyzed man over to another figure that had just arrived... a large tentacled demon.
Tyler, although usually a very brave man, could not help but PANIC.
______________________________
Ingrid stepped off the train and tumbled to the ground, rolling to avoid being hit. She aimed forward, and then to the sides, looking all around for danger. Seeing none, she twisted back around to see a man clinging to the side of the train, bleeding from the stomach. She had seen him before. Without hesitation, she fired.
Sam Hunnigan watched it happen in slow motion. Both pistols unloaded simultaneously... and he felt the impact of each bullet.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
This was the end, he knew it... there would be no way he could survive this. He fumbled for his weapon, but he couldn't aim. His body was paralyzed by the pain and the sudden shock of it all.
Five.
The bullet impacted him in the heart. He cursed at the young woman, and cursed the name of Scott Kennedy. An almost inhuman roar came out of Sam Hunnigan's throat.
Six.
The final bullet impacted him in the brain. Then there was silence.
The sniper's bullet almost impacted Arnold Grande in the head. Wounded already from previous battles, and with seemingly no escape, the man in the long black coat unsheathed his Golden Lugers, and stepped out from the shadows underneath the bridge.
The group was ready for him. They had spotted him before, and were eager to pay him back for his misdeeds. But Colmillo, as he was known in Spain, had decades of training, and hundreds of kills to his name. They had no idea what they were about to face. He was known as "the Fang" for a reason.
First, he aimed at the sniper standing at the far end of the bridge, and with a single shot, blew her head clean off. Veronica King fell to the ground, lifeless.
Next, he sidestepped, to avoid the incoming fire, and twisted his body just enough to dodge Edward Marini's shotgun blast. He fired, and he hit Greg Patrick clean in the eye. His body also crumpled to the ground.
With a Luger in each hand, he returned fire at Edward Marini, just as George Rodruigez started shooting his RCP90.
Edward Marini felt the bullet hit him in the neck, blowing a hole in the side of it large enough to fit a fist through. Everything had happened so fast... but it was now over. As his consciousness faded, the last moments of his life were nothing but a haze of blood and gunfire. He saw the wounds as they appeared on the chest of the trenchcoat-wearing assassin. He hoped they would be fatal ones. He fell to the ground, and looked over at his partner George, and was saddened to see that George had also taken a fatal wound. A bullet went clear through his head, and the exit wound destroyed the back of his skull. He fell to the pavement, dropping his RCP90.
Edward saw Colmillo take 5 bullets to the chest. The man was still gripping his weapons as if nothing had happened. He couldn't believe that the man was still standing after the punishment he had taken. He tried to raise his shotgun and finish the man off, but he couldn't lift his arm anymore.
Arnold Grande turned around and began to walk toward the other end of the bridge, leaving a massive trail of blood behind. His hand released the weapons, and they clattered against the ground. His steps became heavy, and his knees began to buckle. Suddenly, he stopped, and fell face first into the pavement.
Edward Marini faintly smiled as he saw this... they had gotten the bastard.
The smile faded when he saw all his friends, lying dead next to him. The cost was too great.
Edward wasn't much for regrets. But he wished that he could have gotten them all out of there alive. On the bright side, Colmillo would never harm anyone again. And with that thought in his mind, he drifted off into eternal sleep.
______________________________
Mister Kendo gripped his Killer7, aiming it left and right, scanning for anyone who might be around. He advanced, heading toward the building up ahead.
He spotted her... she must have followed him in. She was staying in the shadows. He recognized her... that was Claire Raval, the Umbrella Special Forces Assassin! He readied the pistol and prepared to end her life. She spotted him, too, and pulled out a pair of pistols, ready to do battle.
But they weren't alone. The darkened buildings all around them held a secret... there was something waiting for them. From all directions, they came.... it seemed like there were hundreds of them. They crawled out from the bushes, the jumped off from the rooftops, they burst through the windows, and they surrounded the two humans. They were hungry... they were vicious... and they were wielding all manner of weaponry. Knives, pipes, pitchforks, and torches. Claire was caught off-guard. She did not expect to be surrounded so quickly... now she had other things to deal with besides the man standing next to her. They turned their backs to one another, and fired into the crowd.
With a Custom Eagle in one hand, and her Custom Beretta in the other, the Umbrella Assassin went to work, shooting them one by one, not bothering to aim, only to squeeze the triggers as rapidly as possible. But they weren't stopping... the bullets weren't enough to even slow them down.
The first zombie lunged at her, and she quickly sidestepped the charging brute. A second one came grabbing at her arm, and she twisted it loose, unfortunately losing the Custom Eagle in the process, as it was wrenched from her grip by the zombie. She delivered a swift kick to the creature's head, knocking it down. She delivered a fan kick to the third zombie that approached, sending it flying into its comrades.
She was then tackled from behind by a lurching corpse, and it bit down on her neck and tore at the flesh viciously, ripping a chunk of it away from her body. She couldn't get away! And it bit down on her again, this time in the shoulder, with inhuman strength. She cried out in pain, and then headbutted the creature. It wouldn't let her go, so she reached back and shot in in the head, causing it to release its grip.
She was gushing blood from her neck, and she turned to finish it off, when she was mauled at the leg by a zombified dog! It ripped her leg open with its fangs, and she quickly turned to shoot it off of her, but she couldn't break free. She fell to the ground and she was pulled away from Kendo, towards the horde. She kicked the dog off of her, and weakly got back to her feet, aiming the Beretta at the swarm. Then, a very cunning zombie jumped off a nearby rooftop, butcher knife in hand, and tackled her to the ground, and began stabbing her in the chest. She fought back, but she couldn't stop the blade from penetrating her heart.
Dozens more zombies crowded around the fallen woman, and began to literally tear her limb from limb. She let out one final, bloodcurdling scream, as they began to feast on her torso. The leader of the group, Annette Burnside, devoured her still-beating heart, ripping it apart with her fangs and relishing the warm blood pouring down her face.
Frank Kendo wasn't having much better luck. After being slashed in the chest by one of the zombies, he delivered a leg sweep and knocked it to the ground. A trio of zombies came after him, and he sidestepped the first one, and hit the second one with a a mid-air kick to the chest, sending it flying into its companion. But the next zombie was a bit luckier, and bit him in the arm before being pistol whipped and kicked off of Frank. The Annette Burnside zombie charged at him, with a zombified dog leading the way, and Frank had to think fast. He catapulted himself off of one of the zombies he had knocked on its knees, and vaulted from its back over the pair of undead attackers, landing safely out of the circle of death.
Now Frank could have run away, as there was a clear path to safety, but instead he turned around and unleashed hell.
With a pair of bullets, he shot the next zombie he saw in the head. He turned and aimed at the zombie dog that was chasing him down, and ended that puppy's miserable life with a single bullet through the skull. He shot another staggering zombie in the chest, and when it didn't stop advancing, he removed its head with another bullet. A fourth zombie approached, getting too close, and he shot it in the knee, causing it to fall to the ground. Laying prone, it was easy pickings for Kendo's final bullet, aimed at the back of the head, which blew the skull into a thousand pieces.
Frank had counted his bullets, and when he heard the telltale click click of an empty weapon, he tucked it back into its holster and unsheathed his Wakizashi blade.
He severed the arm of an approaching zombie, and kicked it to the ground. There was only one more zombie standing between him and Annette Burnside. He lunged, impaling it through the chest, and swiftly withdrew the blade, then decapitated the zombie.
Annette charged towards Kendo, butcher knife at the ready, and Frank sliced into her collar, digging the blade deep into her chest in a downwards diagonal strike, trying to sever the creature in half, in badass style. But the blade stopped halfway, and Annette seemed almost unaffected by the wound. She stabbed Frank in the chest, but the blade was stopped by his kevlar vest.
He withdrew the blade and prepared to finish her off, but he saw that he was about to be surrounded once again, so he fled the scene with his life intact, and 5 kills to his name.
The zombie horde scattered, heading off in many different directions, looking for more fresh meat. Only Annette and one of the zombies were left behind, as they were both wounded. Although a great blow had been struck against the zombie horde, there would be more coming.

Miss Stone was not an easy target. The sniper tried very hard to locate her as she moved, but she was almost superhuman in her speed. Somehow, he aimed the weapon at where she was moving to, and fired. The bullet traveled faster than the eye could see, and impacted her square in the chest.
Success!!!
But Miss Stone came prepared. She rolled to her feet and sprinted off, followed closely by her companion. The sniper could scarcely believe his own eyes... she took a direct hit and shrugged it off. Miss Stone, on the other hand, thanked her lucky stars she was wearing a Kevlar Vest, and gotten extremely lucky.
______________________________
Betty Gionne was tired. After searching around and encountering hostiles, and making little progress, she decided that now was a good time to take a quick breather. She leaned against the building and lit a cigarette.
She puffed on it in silence, looking around, keeping watch. It had gotten quiet around here since all the commotion earlier... perhaps a bit too quiet. Maybe there was someone who sneaked away from the massive battles before... to hunt in the darkness of the night, alone.... quietly.
Betty was a trained mercenary, sent here to rescue people. She should have been on her guard, but even years of training don't prepare you for every situation, or every sudden attack. With her weapon lowered, she puffed on that cigarette, taking one last satisfying drag.
Out from the shadows came a man... at least it looked like a man. But this was no ordinary man... first of all, he was nearly naked from head to toe, and slathered in what looked like war paint. There was an insane look on his face, and he fired at her leg, and the ground near her feet, intentionally kicking up dust and rocks to blind her. As she grasped her leg in pain and coughed and choked on the dust, two more shots came through the air from his SIG p226.
Another bullet hit her in the leg, and a final one entered the neck, just at her jugular vein. Death came quickly, as she dropped her weapon and succumbed to the darkness.
The man was upon her in an instant, fangs bared, and like a wild animal, he began eating her supple flesh, ripping it straight from the bone and consuming her sweet, sweet bloody meat. Then he tore out her heart and devoured it, claiming for himself her rich and tasty courage.
______________________________
Christine Ashcroft knew who Otto was... She hid in the darkness, and prepared to finish off this man, who was already wounded. She fired the Striker, spreading shot all over his body from a distance. But the man charged after her, relentless, wielding a wakizashi, and rolled on the ground to avoid the next shot. With one smooth motion, he rose from the ground and knocked the shotgun from her hands. Next, he impaled her in the stomach, and lifted the sword straight into her ribcage. She clutched the hilt of the weapon and gasped as she was lifted up off the ground.
She thought of all the time she had wasted, waiting for him to make a move. If only she had attacked him sooner... perhaps this never would have happened. Unfortunately for Christine, idle weapons defend no one, and idle detectives catch no criminals.
What a terrible, terrible waste, thought Christine, as the man headbutted her and she slid off of his sword. She clutched the open wound in her torso and watched helplessly as the man brought the sword down swiftly, impaling her through the eye, and ending her life.
Monica and Cindy ran from the Masked Man, as he chased them through the unlit, treacherous streets of Dark Falls. They quickly devised a plan, and they stopped for a moment to exchange items. Then they continued running.
They could hear his footfalls about a block away, but in a few short moments, they stopped. Monica kicked over the drum, and watched the liquid pool out into the street. Cindy ducked behind a mailbox, and gripped her rifle nervously. Monica stood nearby, weapon raised, as if daring the masked man to attack.
Without warning, he did attack. In fact he attacked from an angle quite unexpected. He apparently had scaled a nearby fire escape and climbed to a ledge near their position. He jumped and landed behind them both, unleashing a hail of bullets from his pair of Golden Lugers. Monica was hit, badly, and dropped to her knees. Cindy was prepared, and rolled out of the way. They both ran as quick as they could to the other side of the street, but Monica couldn't make it. She fell to the ground and twisted herself around to face her attacker.
The man walked slowly, his boots echoing coldly against the dark pavement, face shrouded in blackness, with only the glint of his golden weapons as any distinguishing feature. He was looking forward to this. He raised his weapon and prepared to finish off Monica. Cindy was nearby, and was too frozen to do anything. She could have stopped this from happening, if only she was doing her job... But before the masked man could pull the trigger, Monica tossed a small canister in his direction, and aimed her weapon at it in midair like a trick shooter, and fired.
The canister was filled with a mixture of nitroglycerin and metallic ball bearings. The bullet impacted the can and caused an explosion, which knocked the masked man backwards, impaling his body with several pieces of metal shrapnel, and setting him on fire. He instinctively dropped to the ground to roll out the flames, but he had the unfortunate circumstance of standing directly on top of the ever-growing puddle of gasoline that Monica had spilled onto the street, which only made his situation worse.
The man roared in terrible pain, as he tried in vain to put out the flames as he rolled in yet more fuel to make the fire burn hotter. Monica struggled to get her chainsaw running, but it roared to life, and she stumbled toward the burning man and attempted to saw his body in half. The pain in her leg caused her to drop just short of her target, as he rolled out of the way. Somehow he staggered to his feet and got ready to kill both women as his last act of murderous revenge.
Cindy could take no more of this. She might not have acted before, but if she did not act now, Monica would die and she would be next. She lifted her SL8 rifle and aimed it square at the chest of the burning, masked mass murder, and squeezed the trigger.
The bullet impacted the man in the chest, and caused him to stagger backwards as there was a hole the size of a golf ball blown all the way through his ribcage and out the other side. The man dropped his Gold Lugers, and roared in pain.
Cindy lifted the rifle, aimed carefully, and blew the bastard's head clean off his shoulders. The burning corpse plummeted to the ground, as well as little tiny pieces of his skull. Cindy approached and kicked the guns away from the body, while Monica doused the body with a nearby garden hose. The two women were delighted to find what that murderous psychopath Charles Holland was carrying.
______________________________
Olga Conrad chased after the plague demon, and this time attacked with her best weapon, the Army Rifle. The beast was badly wounded, and surely she would be the end of him.
She fired three rounds at almost point blank range, and was surprised when she hit nothing but air.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp PAIN in her back. She looked down and saw a massive looking claw emerge from her chest, which lifted her up off of the ground, 12 feet in the air, and slammed her back down to the cold, unforgiving earth.
She rolled onto her back and knew that this was the end, but she continued firing her army rifle into the body of the creature as it moved in for the kill.... somehow, nothing seemed to stop this creature, as it brought its massive claw down upon her face, crushing her from the neck up. Her body went limp and she dropped the rifle.
Dolor, the Demon of PAIN, emitted something that was either a sickening laugh, or a roar of pleasure, or both, and tore her body into pieces and fed the chunks of her corpse into his drooling mouth. He was soon baring his fangs... grinning with sick, evil glee.
Oswald was looking for something, but was too distracted to watch his back. As he leaned over to pick up an interesting scrap of paper and an odd-looking plant, he was ambushed from all sides by the Annette Burnside and Alfred Branaghtransformations, and at least a few other zombies of varying shapes and sizes.
They ripped at his flesh, while Annette Burnside stabbed him in the stomach, causing him to gasp in pain. Alfred Branagh smashed him over the head with an iron bar, knocking him unconscious. The remaining zombies began to feast on him while he was still alive.
Suddenly, a shotgun blast echoed through the night. In an instant, Annette Burnside's head was blown off, and her body collapsed to the ground. Another zombie took the brunt of the blast and his torso was torn to shreds. He fell to the ground, gasping and twitching, but too damaged to be a threat any longer. Another corpse hit the ground from the blast of the shotgun, and it struggled for a few moments before going silent.
But that was only the beginning... a hand grenade landed near the zombies, and exploded. A man with a hunting rifle took aim at Alfred Branagh, and blew his head clean off. Another shotgun blast, and it was almost over.
One final zombie lurched toward the crowd of vigilantes that had just arrived, gasping and drooling, mumbling about the fresh meat it wanted to consume. Dickie Barrow stepped forward, armed with a grenade launcher, and waited for the monster to move a safe distance away from Oswald.
Barrow: EAT ME!!!
With that, Dickie launched the grenade straight into the creature's chest, where it promptly exploded and send bits and pieces of infected rotting corpse everywhere. The blast covered everyone nearby in smoldering slime, and Dickie simply wiped the muck off of his face, and spat on the smoking crater where the zombie once stood. The others collected the unconscious Oswald from the center of the pile of zombie corpses, and dragged him to safety.
Two creatures watched the death of Olga Conrad, and the subsequent devouring of her corpse, and then waited for Dolor to join them. One of them, the tentacled freak, was carrying Tyler Campbell's paralyzed body.
Tyler Campbell'sbody landed on the ground with a thud. Because he couldn't move his arms or legs, he couldn't break his fall in the slightest. His skull impacting the ground nearly knocked him out. The sounds of gunfire alerted the Plague Demon, who saw the young woman approaching, fully armed. The creature backed away, as if submitting to this woman, and retreated some distance. "Are you injured?" asked the young woman.
Tyler: "I can't move my arms or legs."
Alyssa: "Please, save your strength. There is no reason to fear anymore."
Tyler: "You've come to rescue me?"
Alyssa: "I've come to save you..."
The young woman knelt down to where Tyler was laying, turning him so that he could see her, and she could look at him.
Alyssa: "Such beautiful eyes..."
Tyler looked at her curiously.
Alyssa: "I've been looking for you for some time now. You are the one I've wanted all my life."
Tyler: "What do you mean!? I don't even know who you are!"
Alyssa: "Shhhh... don't talk now, just listen."
Tyler simply nodded. There was nothing else he could do except hear what she had to say. The young woman leaned over and gave Tyler a soft kiss on the lips.
Alyssa: "You may not know who I am, but I know who you are. With every fiber of my being, I know who you are. I can see it in your eyes; I can feel it in your voice. I can taste it on your lips when I kiss you... you are everything I've ever wanted. You are the missing piece of my life. You are my heart's desire, Tyler."
Tyler: "How do you know my..."
Alyssa: "Shhhh..... quiet now, sweet prince. You and I are meant to be one. Can't you feel the chemistry between us? It is that same chemistry that has brought me to you. Do you know who you are? You're very special, Tyler. Of all the men here in this forsaken place, you shine like a diamond in the rough. While others are riddled with disease, you are not. Your body has rejected the virus... destroyed it. Conquered it. You are stronger, and healthier, and of better breeding than all the others. You are powerful... compassionate... brave... you are a king among mortals. You are superior to all others. You are the only one worthy of my love... and you shall have it."
Tyler: "Can't we just... leave? Before those creatures get back?"
Alyssa: "We're not going anywhere. I must have you, Tyler."
Tyler: "I don't even know your name!"
Alyssa: "You won't have to. You will know me, Tyler."
Alyssa stood before Tyler, and threw her guns down into the grass nearby. Then she took off her kevlar body armor, and tossed that aside as well. She stood before Tyler in a torn, white dress, just barely clinging to her skin. Tyler gulped with a mixture of fear and excitement.
Alyssa pulled the dress off of her body, slowly, revealing all of her perfect, silky skin underneath. She was a breathtaking woman, from head to toe. She seemed to glow in the moonlight, shadows dancing across her body. Tyler could scarcely believe what he was seeing. Alyssa walked back over to Tyler, slowly, and climbed on top of his body, looking him straight in the eyes.
Alyssa: "Don't speak anymore... just feel...."
The young woman began kissing Tyler, who could do nothing except lay on his back and experience what was happening to him. His eyes opened wide and he tried to mumble a reply, but the woman was kissing him too deeply. Helpless and unable to resist, Tyler closed his eyes and surrendered to the woman.
Alyssa: "I will make you feel things you've never felt before... experience things you've never experienced... I will bring you to the heights of ecstasy and back again. Our passion will conquer all... your seed will multiply and fill the Earth. You will become immortal, joined with me forever and ever... and our love shall never die."
Tyler gasped, feeling out of breath, as the young woman tore the clothes from his body and wiped the paralytic slime from his face.
Alyssa: "I am your DESTINY..."
Tyler felt the young woman's passionate embrace, and her amorous lips locked tightly against is own. He closed his eyes and felt things he never felt before... and indeed, experienced things he had never experienced.
The young woman's skin began to split, all down her back, separating from the shoulder blades all the way down to her tailbone. From this huge opening in her skin, a writhing mass of pulsating tentacles emerged, and wrapped around Tyler's helpless, paralyzed body. The body of Alyssa Martin melted away, revealing her true form underneath... a being totally alien from anything Tyler had ever seen before. Alyssa's pretty face split in half and slid off of the exoskeleton underneath the layer of skin, revealing a terrifying jaw filled with razor sharp teeth.
Tyler screamed at that very moment, a strange combination of heated passion and unimaginable horror. The Bride Creature rolled over, lifting Tyler above her with her tentacles, and unhinged her jaw. Tyler screamed and screamed as he was fed into the Queen feet first, sliding down her slippery throat with ease, her body contorting and expanding to make room. Tyler could barely move his arms, but he was not nearly strong enough to resist. He felt the hot, wet interior of the creature gripping his body tightly, coating him in some kind of acid, which seemed to dissolve the paralytic slime he was previously covered with. He tried to grab his weapon, the grenade launcher, determined to slay this creature and kill himself in the process, but he couldn't quite reach it. The Queen's tongue wrapped around his body and pulled him further inside her mouth, and Tyler screamed one final time before her jaw snapped shut, biting down on his neck, breaking it instantly and ending his life. He lost consciousness then, mercifully, as his corpse slid down the gullet of the Queen, and into her digestive sac where he would be broken down to serve as food for their numerous offspring.
NOVIA MORTAL
Alyssa Martin stood up, and roared with passion, smacking her lips and licking every drop of Tyler's delicious blood from her fangs. She could feel him inside of her, and for the first time in her life, she finally felt complete. Now, the real horrors would begin.

The rooftop sniper saw the figures sprinting at ground level. He recognized his target, set the figure in his sight, and fired. The bullet streaked across town, hitting the man square in the back, blowing open a huge cavity in his chest from the exit wound. Much to the sniper's surprise, the man simply kept running, the impact not even slowing him down, with very little blood escaping from the wound.
What in the name of pancakes was going on here?

Everyone looked at their watches... it was 8:30PM... why would the clock tower bell be ringing?
"Wait here" he said.
Mister Scott Kennedy unlocked the clock tower door, and kicked it open. Wielding his trusty Red 9, he made his way up the spiral staircase leading to the tower. When he got to the very top, he saw that there was a shiny metal key located on a shelf near a window overlooking Dark Falls. This was the prize he sought. He inspected it carefully, and noticed a letter and two numbers inscribed on the key itself.
When he looked out of the tower however, he gasped at what he saw down below. Knowing what must be done, Mister Scott Kennedy aimed the Red 9 at the Tower Bell, and fired, repeatedly... the sound of the bell carrying all the way to the city limits.
_________
In the far west, beyond the Main Gate Barricade, a group of Zombie Commandos wielding automatic weapons heard the noise, and readied their positions. They were prepared to take out any man or woman who stepped foot out of Dark Falls...
Valentine chose to be alone. There was something wrong with the others... she didn't trust them. Not all of them, anyway. She could only rely on one person in this world, and that was herself. She gripped her pair of Ingram MAC pistols, and marched on, determined to get out of there alive.
In the distance she could hear the sound of bells ringing... how strange. It certainly was well before or after the hour... depending on how you looked at it. But before she thought further, she noticed movement coming from the southeast. Without hesitation, she lifted the weapons, and began firing without mercy.
From out of the bushes came a man, obviously enraged that he'd been spotted, and even more enraged at being shot at. But when four bullets impacted him in the chest, he dropped to his knees and collapsed to the ground. She walked slowly toward the man.
"Too easy..."
Before Valentine could search the corpse for weapons, she was surprised by the man apparently springing back to life and to his feet, with bullet holes across his chest, and acting as though it caused him no pain. It grabbed Valentine by the throat, and began to strangle her, choking the life out of her...
The man stared at her with cold, murderous eyes... and inside those eyes.... she could see something was dangerously wrong with the man. His eyes were red, and they were almost glowing in the darkness. She was losing consciousness, but managed to squeeze off several rounds into the abdomen of her attacker. But the man simply continued to choke her, and it seemed clear that her life was about to end.
In desperation, she lifted her knee and landed it directly into the groin of the creature, and that also had no effect, so she aimed her weapons at the creatures wrists, and fired until the thing let go of her.
She slumped to the ground, dropping her weapons, feeling dizzy and disoriented. The man just stood there, and reached for his own weapon... a G36K Rifle, and fired it at Ingrid at point-blank range. The weapon double-fired, hitting Ingrid in the side of the stomach and in the shoulder. The wounds began to spurt blood, which only made the creature seem more vicious. The thing dropped his weapon and lunged at her, fangs bared, biting and gnashing and snarling. At the last moment she rolled out of the way, and staggered to her feet. The moonlight shone off of her automatic weapon, still laying in the grass several yards away. With her last bit of strength, she sprinted toward the weapon, hearing the hungry, animal-like panting and snarling of the creature close behind her. There would be no room for error...
She lunged forward... and everything went in slow motion... All she could hear was the rapid beat of her heart and the sound of her own breathing and footfalls. She was airborne, arms outstretched, inches away from the weapon that could save her life and end his. The man.... the creature, also pounced, ready to make the killing blow.
________
Years of gymnastics had paid off. She nimbly landed, palms first, snatching the weapon from the ground, while she did a handspring and vaulted forward even more, flipping her forward momentum through her legs, and completing the maneuver on her feet, hitting the ground at full sprint. The beast hit the dirt just behind her heels, trying to tackle her, but missing. She ran for some distance more, turned around, and fired her Ingram MAC.
The thing did not stop the pursuit, even as more bullets hit the thing in its neck, abdomen, and blowing it's kneecap to pieces. It made one final lunge forward, as Valentine stood her ground, finger depressing the trigger fully, as the weapon spewed forth a hail of bullets.
The beast tackled her to the ground, knocking the weapon from her hands. This was the end...
But the creature was not moving. As Valentine shivered in shock and fear, she waited for the killing bite to come. And it did not come. She got hold of her senses and slid herself out from under the man's heavy body, wiping the slime off of her. As she looked down at the creature, she saw a pair of exit wounds on the back of the thing's skull, or what was left of it. There was too much damage to even leave a recognizable human face. Suddenly, and horribly, the creature's head just... exploded, showering poor Valentine in a disgusting spray of bone and gray matter. Then the body began to dissolve and melt into the earth. This was no human being, if it once was.
She was lucky to be alive, but she needed medical attention, and quickly.
________________
Jake Downing felt lost. It seemed as though he had been wandering around for ages now... not encountering anyone. In a survival situation, it can make a man think that he's the only one left alive. Maybe the only one left alive in the state. Or perhaps the world.
The truth was not nearly so terrible, but that was his state of mind. He was feeling extremely paranoid, and desperate. He gripped his Thompson submachine gun and advanced south, meeting up with a naked, painted man who was just wandering around searching.... and fashioning some kind of bomb out of found items. Not one to waste any time, prepared to open fire.
But this one... was not easy to sneak up on. The crazed, painted man immediately twisted around, as if reacting to a decade of combat training, and opened up on Downing with an HK vp70. Three of the bullets were fired, only two impacted Downing, and one of them deflected off of his Kevlar vest, the other hitting him in the leg.
Downing was quick to return fire, but not quick enough. All four of his rounds missed the target, as the maniac in war paint dove for cover behind a vehicle. Seconds later, a device was tossed towards Downing, who recognized the object being thrown at him as extremely dangerous. Downing ran, and dove forward, narrowing avoiding the massive explosion.
The drum was filled with gasoline, shotgun rounds, and dozens of handgun rounds, and other ingredients tightly packed, with a lit fuse sticking out the side. It resembled a Claymore, or so I am told. The resulting blast sent shot and shrapnel in all directions, almost certainly killing anything that was within 20 feet of the explosion. The maniac screamed, and cut loose a steady stream of obscenities the likes of which Sigurd or Generalhankerchief would have to clean up for hours to come. But that's why we love him.
Downing rolled over and returned fire, missing with another four rounds from his Tommy gun. The naked maniac dropped his weapon and pulled out a Franchi SPAS, and charged his opponent like a madman, shouting profane cruelties, the likes of which could make even the saltiest sailor's ears bleed. Uncaring whether or not he would get hit by the fire Downing was laying down, he ran straight forward, making no evasive maneuvers whatsoever, firing the shotgun over and over and over, while hollering like a banshee.
The shotgun fire made Downing dive out of the way, and behind a vehicle of his own. He fired another four-round spread toward the insane freak, missing each time. Now, the madman, Albert Wells, was upon him, firing the shotgun at point-blank range, chasing him around the vehicle. Downing was clipped by one of the blasts, and he winced as he could do nothing about his bleeding arm but let it bleed. Downing rolled under the nearest vehicle, twisted around, and fired again, hitting Wells twice in the legs, but not even slowing down the man. Albert simply laughed as he dropped to the ground, and unleashed another shotgun blast from a low angle, hitting Downing as he jumped to his feet. As wells stood up, he was hit in the chest by a pair of bullets, and those too didn't faze him. Wells lifted the shotgun and fired, but Downing was able to duck behind the vehicle again. The evil cackling coming from Wells unnerved Downing, as it was a sure sign of a criminally psychotic mind. Worse, his Tommy gun was out of ammunition! He dropped the weapon, and grabbed the sniper rifle that was hanging off his shoulder strap, and lifted it as quick as he could, squeezing off a round and watching the left half of Albert Wells' head get blown off.
But Albert Wells just kept on cackling, and stuffed a ball of gauze into the cavity that had been blown open, and continued firing as if there was nothing wrong with him. There very clearly was...
Downing fired again, blasting a hole in Wells' chest the size of a tennis ball. Albert Wells just aimed and fired his shotgun once again, hooting and howling with sickening laughter, relishing in the pure freakishness of his transformation. The blast clipped Downing in the shoulder as he rolled out of the way. Downing rose from behind the vehicle, and quickly released another rifle round, this time blasting Wells in the neck, severing his jugular vein and causing Wells' head (or what was left of it) to hang at an odd angle. Wells returned fire, but the new perspective caused him to aim wildly.
Downing rolled to the ground, with nowhere else to go, he actually rolled forward, and tried to decapitate Wells with a rifle blast to the chin, aiming up from the ground. Downing missed! Reacting quickly, he rolled in the opposite direction, as Wells predictably blasted the ground with the shotgun where his opponent had just been.
Downing leaped to his feet, and kicked the shotgun out of Wells' hands, pointed the rifle at the remainder of Albert's head, and pulled the trigger. What was left of his head ended up spread fairly evenly over half the length of a football field, and the body crumpled to the ground.
The obscenities and cruel laughter had stopped.... Albert Wells, or what he had become, was no more. After ten grueling rounds of combat with an Omega Transformation, Jake Downing had prevailed.
Frederic Marcus and the others had returned from their search, quite richer for the experience. While the others were celebrating their good fortune, Marcus was still worried. He distinctly remembered another time he thought his luck was improving, only to be nearly gunned down by some darned Umbrella Assassin. With the item in his hands, he remained alert... so when he saw the figure approaching from the shadows, he tried to warn the others, by lifting his Broken Butterfly and firing at the shadowy form....
Peter Mueller was looking for someone who continued to evade his grasp. He observed a nearby building and contemplated scaling it, to get a better view of the situation, when something came at him from behind.... a tentacle, gripping him by the leg, which dragged him into a collapsed part of the tunnels beneath the city.
The all-too-familiar monster had four of them cornered. While Marcus had fired to alert the others, the rest simply ran, ran as fast as they could and tried to get to the surface. A barbed tentacle with a claw on the end of it struck Cindy in the chest, knocking her backward, ramming her into the concrete wall. Fortunately for her, she was wearing her Kevlar vest, or she surely would have been impaled to death. The bleeding surface wound was a small price to pay for the blow. The creature spun around, still holding Mueller by the ankle, and whipped the man against the other side of the tunnel, with a force so powerful it caused the concrete to crack. Cindy called out to Monica to get behind her, as she staggered to her feet to bravely face the monster herself. Monica stayed back, and fired her Golden Lugers at the creature, unfortunately causing no damage. Marcus aimed his antique pistol once again, and fired. The bullet impact didn't even slow the creature down. Cindy stood up and aimed her RPG at the thing, preparing to finish it off.
The creature charged, and whipped a tentacle at her face, stunning her and knocking her down. It whipped at her again, and again, as Cindy tried to protect her battered body with the RPG launcher and her arms. She still got stung quite badly, and the creature vomited a slimy yellow substance all over her which made her tingle and feel weak. Next, the creature charged towards Monica, screeching with pure evil. Cindy rolled to her feet and weakly shouted out to Monica...
GET DOWN!!!
Cindy fired the RPG, and the rocket traveled straight toward the creature, which turned just in time to see it coming, and it dove out of the way. A few seconds later, and it might have stung Monica to death. They were starting to PANIC, as the creature lunged back towards Marcus, cornering him against the wall, and began whipping the man mercilessly with its stinging tentacles, spraying him with the paralyzing substance. The poor man went from perfect health to bloody, battered, broken, and beaten, in just a matter of seconds. Things were not going well for these men and women, trapped under the surface with a Demon from hell. Peter Mueller and Cindy launched themselves at the creature, knocking it off of Marcus, saving him from certain death.
This time, Mueller had removed from his bag his Gatling gun. He smashed the creature in the face with it, knocking it aside, and then opened fire.
The weapon was beyond destructive... bullets were released from the machine gun more rapidly than the eye could see, and within a fraction of a second, the Plague Demon's body was riddled with large bullet wounds, across its chest, and face, and limbs, blasting its tentacles apart with ease, cutting through the creature like a knife, cleaving it nearly in half with its sheer, ferocious firepower. The creature howled in pain, and ran back into the shadows from whence it came. Incredibly, the monster still lived.... but it left behind a telltale trail of blood and vital fluids, as well as the occasional tentacle.
As for the foursome who had met the Demon in close quarters, they all survived. All of them, just barely, made it out of there with their lives intact, thanks to a very powerful weapon.
______________
Manuella and Sherry had been through it all together. It seemed as though they were destined to share the same path, no matter what the outcome. Today, that relationship would meet its greatest test of all. Drew and Vance were close friends as well, and now that Ashley had joined them, it seemed like nothing could stand in their way.
Yuri, on the other hand, had been fighting for everything she'd gotten in life. Years of training in the martial arts made her as swift as the fastest ninja, and just as cunning. The others had been lucky to have things so easy for so long. Yuri had just narrowly escaped from God knows what, and noticed that the whole building was surrounded by zombies and all manner of creatures. Well, she wasn't about to face those things without just a little bit of an edge. She kicked open the door to the room they were all standing in, and threw the Flashbang into the center of the crowd. They were all stunned by the bright light and the deafening sound, unable to defend themselves as she rushed into the room and stole one of their newfound treasures right out of their hands, as they stood there blind and dumbfounded. She exited the building post-haste, turning around to see if she'd been spotted. What she saw was actually a bit more horrific than that.
The side of the building shattered and collapsed, as a giant terrible Demon smashed a hole in the wall with its giant claw. The being was at least 11 feet tall, and it had a reach at least that long. It was screeching a loud, terrible noise that caused PAIN to anyone who heard it. While the group was still recovering from the effect of the stun and the blindness, they were only barely aware of what had happened. But one of them, Amelia Drew, shouted at the group to turn around. Without thinking twice, Manuella withdrew her wakizashi and stood between the creature and the rest of the group, and prepared to defend them all from harm with her life. The creature was heading towards Sherry, but Manuella jumped in the creature's path and began swinging the sword towards its face. She shouted at the thing:
"No you don't! Face ME, you miserable, writhing sack of horse , and I will be the end of you!"
Sherry fired her HK G36k at the Demon, unfortunately missing the creature as it spun around to avoid Manuella and get closer to the group. Amelia Drew withdrew her Cold Steel Dragonfly and impaled the demon in the face, surprising even herself with her quickness and accuracy. The Demon seemed unfazed by the blow, and reared back from the weapon, lashing out at Amelia as she tried to press the attack. The large monster was nimble and incredibly powerful. It didn't seem to be able to tell where anyone was except by sound and scent, however. Vance fired his Benelli shotgun at the creature, blowing a hole in its chest, but it kept advancing, and swinging it's massive claw wildly around the room, knocking several of them down.
Manuella stood between the creature and the others once again, and threatened it:
"YOU CANNOT PASS!!"
The creature was not impressed by this small woman, and snarled in her face, and prepared to crush her like an insect. The beast slammed Manuella with a hard rightward swing, which she deflected with her blade, and then tried to force her to the ground and impale her through the chest with its massive spike. Manuella was able to roll almost all of the way out of the way, but she was impaled in the shoulder. She impaled the creature in it's massive arm, causing it to lift her up off of the ground, and she struggled to remove herself from the spike. In a flash, she was back down on the ground, her wakizashi weapon still impaled in the creature, and she once again stood between the creature and the others in the group. She whipped out a pair of pistols, and incredibly, she stood up to the creature once more. She roared again, defiantly:
YOU.... SHALL NOT.... PASS!!!!!
Sherry fired again with her golden pistols, as Amelia Drew attempted to impale the beast with her Katana, but to no avail. Then, Ashley Dewey withdrew a massive weapon from its holster, the Smith and Wesson .500 Magnum, which she nicknamed the HANDCANNON. Aiming carefully, she fired. The bullet impacted the creature in the head, splitting its skull into a thousand fragments, and blowing its body back toward the wall. The creature thrashed about, headless, blind, deaf, and without senses or balance.... darkness fell.... as well as the roof above the creature, when it crashed into a structural support. The beast, bloodied and broken, was destroyed underneath 20 tons of concrete, steel, and other debris. The creature was crushed instantly, and though it would have necessarily died from its injuries, it was now unable to cause any more death, trapped now forever underneath the weight of a steel support beam. When the dust cleared, only Manuella was any worse for the wear.
It was a mighty victory... one that might have turned the tide back from the brink of disaster, and spared many people from a cruel and painful fate.
___________________
Outside, Yuri marveled at the victory... stunned that they had actually defeated the creature. Perhaps there was hope yet...
But it was at that moment that she too, began to cough up blood, felt a flash of fever, collapsed to the ground and passed out.

I misread someone's battle orders and they did not fire a grenade when they should have done so. It would have had an impact on the battle because thrown (item) grenades don't miss, and his gun did miss.
I must press forward with the game but I am awarding him (some) of his lost health back as a compensation, and noting it here publicly with my apologies.
What long and twisted paths they traveled to get here. So many roads, from so many places, all intersecting.
So many voices... so many dreams... so many lives... all meeting in one place. So many beginnings.... and only one end.
Whether the cause be destiny or chance, they met. And they met their fate.
Michael Otto went silently through the night, searching for something, or someone... anyone, at this point, would be welcome. Almost anyone.
The sounds of moaning alerted Otto to the pair of figures approaching from either side of him. Reacting quickly, he bolted from the scene in one of the directions that didn't contain a zombie. Now they were both behind him, and he twisted around and fired his m136 anti-armor weapon. The rocket streaked toward its targets, right down the center, as they both rushed forward to attack. Unfortunately his aim was too dead center, and he split them down the middle, both zombies undamaged by the rocket. It exploded harmlessly behind them, as they were almost upon him.
Now, Michael was pissed that he had wasted his one shot, and unsheathed his Wakizashi. The first zombie (Edward Marini) swung a metal bar at Otto's head, which he nimbly ducked, and then rolled out of the path of the second swing. Not wasting any movement, he swung his blade and sliced the first zombie at the knee, knocking it to the ground. Then he impaled the Edward Marini transformation in the head, ending its miserable existence. As soon as this was done, Otto dodged the next iron bar being swung at him, from behind. Otto turned and saw Greg Patrick behind him, horribly deformed and disfigured, drooling and moaning. Reacting quickly, Otto blocked the iron bar from hitting him in the head with his blade. He stood, and kicked the zombie in the knee to make it lose its balance, then hacked off the zombie's right arm, causing it to drop the iron bar. But Greg Patrick simply tackled Otto, and tried to bite him in the neck.
They rolled around on the ground, Otto attempting to shake the thing off of him, Greg trying desperately to feast on Otto's delicious flesh. After several tense seconds, Otto realized the creature was too strong, and there was no escape. Michael positioned the Wakizashi blade under the chin of Greg Patrick, as the zombie leaned in to bite Michael's neck. All the zombie succeeded in doing was slicing his own throat on the blade, nearly decapitating itself. The zombie, clearly frustrated, started thrashing and beating Michael with its remaining arm, trying to bludgeon or scratch him. Michael rolled the thing off of him and tried to get away, but the zombie was gripping Otto by the wrist, and stood, preparing to pounce.
Michael sliced Greg's other hand off, releasing him from his grip. With another swing, he lopped the creature's head off, and as it lurched forward, headless and armless, he impaled the creature through the chest, and twisted the blade for good measure, roaring in frustration and vengeance. He withdrew the blade and slashed madly at the corpse, which fell to the ground. But this was not enough for Michael... he slashed the foul creature to bloody, tiny chunks. Just as he was about to blast the remains to bits with his Striker, he relented.
Michael spat at the creature, and wiped the blood and guts from his face. He stormed away from the scene, looking enraged and unsatisfied.
_____________________
The Fall of Darkness
They run...
They hide...
They fear...
They fear what they don't understand...
They are blinded by their own ignorance...
The darkness makes them unable to see...
Now they will see clearly...
Now they will understand...
I will remove the darkness from their eyes...
Many of them were caught unprepared. They had only just arrived... and the sound of a shotgun being fired was the trumpet that sounded the battle. In an instant, John King was stunned to find his flesh ripped open by the blast. He wasn't the only one, as Dickie Barrow also felt the searing kiss of hot metal embedded in his body, and Edward Thompson, who was standing too near to the others. Then the horde arrived, wielding all manner of blunt instruments, knives, torches and pitchforks. They surrounded the surprised men and women, and began swinging. The corpse of Ramon Regan was among them, and it immediately attacked Edward Thompson, cracking his skull open with the iron bar in its hands, and then it began biting and tearing at the poor man. Then he was tackled from behind by another zombie, and he felt the creature bite down hard on his neck, delivering the killing blow.
Another creature dashed forward from the shadows and tackled Naomi Bertolucci, and began biting her face and clawing at her chest. It was all Naomi could do to struggle and slip out of the thing's terrible grip, with a little help from Dickie Barrow. But Dickie was tackled and quickly overwhelmed by several zombies, and he never emerged from the pile of writhing bodies. The lead zombie bit down on his neck and tore his throat from his body. The horde of zombies surrounded the survivors, who remained in a defensive position.
From the west, there sounded a terrifying roar. Breaking through the perimeter were three large figures... monstrous creatures with tentacles and gigantic claws. These creatures trampled a path through the zombies and crushed those who didn't get out of the way. The creature with the largest claw chased down Allyson Mackenzie and slashed at her, filling her with a sense of overwhelming FEAR. The thing also tried to destroy Ron Kendall, but it missed. Another beast, covered in writhing tentacles, chased after the shotgun-wielding Omega Transformation, and tried to slash it to death, but the Omega was slightly quicker than the Plague Demon. Naomi Bertolucci steadied herself, and began to fire her Gatling gun into the horde of zombies. The walking corpses began to fall underneath the terrible stream of bullets, and the Omega creature was exposed. Jack Davidson, or what used to be Jack Davidson, was riddled with bullets and it dropped to the earth, motionless.
The Queen stepped forward, and from her massive egg sac came a mass of long, piercing tentacles, and she began attacking the surviving humans, stepping away from the safety of her Plague Demon soldiers. It was at this moment that the zombies made their move... The Demon of Fear was overwhelmed by a crowd of creatures, wielding pitchforks and torches, which began bludgeoning the Demon to death. Although the Demon fought viciously, it was slowly overcome by injury and the weight of the masses. It could no longer move, and several zombies began biting its limbs from its body. The beast roared out in pain, and was torn to pieces by the hungry mass of the dead.
The Queen sensed what was happening to her Demon soldier, and was momentarily distracted from her bloody work with the humans. She turned and charged toward the horde and began crushing and slicing anything in her path. Ramon Regan was the first to fall, as he was impaled by the Plague Queen's deadly tentacles, lifted a dozen feet in the air, and slammed against the ground, smashing him like a bug. The Queen then tore several of the undead from the body of her fallen brethren, and impaled one of them through the skull, and the other through the chest with such force that its body was blown to pieces.
At this moment, the tentacled demon was also in distress, as it was being fired upon by several of the surviving humans. Oswald, Frank, and Billy stood side-by-side, and fired through the barrier between them and the horde of zombies, where the Plague Demons were slaying everything in sight. Oswald aimed with his SL8 rifle, and planted two rifle rounds through the brain of the tentacled demon. Frank and Billy fired at the Queen, with a Killer 7 and Golden Lugers, hitting the queen all over her body, causing plenty of damage but not even slowing her down. Another survivor shot at the queen with the Ingram MAC model 10, hitting the queen repeatedly but causing no damage. Oswald fired his weapon at the queen, shooting her in the back, and the Queen was still standing. Allyson Mackenzie also fired her SL8 at the Queen, missing a few times but hitting her once in the neck. Allyson also fired into the crowd of zombies, hoping to take out some of these attackers. Ron Kendall stepped forward, and began firing his HK416 at the Queen and the crowd of zombies, hitting her once and also hitting the crowd.
The Plague Queen, having personally destroyed most of the zombie horde, turned to face the surviving humans, as the remaining undead scattered in terror. The foul creature flashed an evil grin.
"GIVE YOURSELVES TO ME... I WILL END YOUR SUFFERING!!!"
She charged forward, attacking the remaining seven humans, as they continued to unload their weapons into her. The tentacles emerged, and one of them impaled John King through the chest, lifting him up off of the ground, and slamming him into the hard pavement. The Queen roared with delight, and whipped another tentacle toward Naomi Bertolucci, impaling her through the stomach, and causing her to go limp and drop her Gatling gun. The Queen whipped her body at the nearest building, where she crashed through the plate glass window and lay motionless inside.
"DO NOT RESIST ME... I CAN GRANT YOU A FUTURE YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY IMAGINE!!!"
The five remaining survivors continued to fire their magnums and rifle rounds into the Queen, who still seemed unfazed by all the weapons fire. She advanced on Oswald Hamilton, and tried to impale the poor man through the skull, but he rolled out of the way. She tried to impale him against the ground, but it was deflected by his Kevlar Vest. She turned on the next male in the line, Billy Cain, and tried to impale him through the stomach, but he was too quick for her, and just barely escaped damage. The line was breaking, and the humans began to scatter from her path, but not before Frank Kendo was impaled through the shoulder. As the Queen shook his body, he cried out in pain and terror, and began to drop what appeared to be bricks from the back of his pants. The other humans continued to fire on the Queen, and as the Queen turned to face them, Frank was able to extract himself from her grip and dove behind a trash can.
"PITIFUL MORTALS... YOU WILL SERVE A HIGHER PURPOSE!!!
The Queen slashed Allyson Mackenzie across her stomach as she tried to escape from the scene, causing her to fall to the ground, bleeding from her severe wound. As the Queen prepared to finish off Allyson, Ron Kendall stood between the Queen and his fallen comrade, and began firing at the queen at point-blank range with his HK416. She roared in pain, but grabbed the foolish man and impaled him through the back, lifting him up high above her head, and started wrapping her tentacles around him, squeezing the life out of him.
The Queen advanced on the four survivors, two of them severely wounded and unable to fight. This was the end... the end of all hope... the final conclusion.
"IF YOU WILL NOT SERVE.... THEN YOU WILL DIE!!!
But Oswald Hamilton and Billy Cain did not run. Their resolve did not break. They were determined, and the fired at the queen, shooting her in the face, shooting her in the eyes, shooting her in the skull, both of them wielding the dreaded Golden Lugers. The searing hot, powerfully heavy bullets ripped through the Queen's exoskeleton, and shattered the hard outer covering to bloody chunks. They continued firing as the Queen advanced, roaring with pain, roaring with agony, and roaring with hatred. The Queen dropped the body of Ron Kendall and prepared to impale Billy and Oswald with her spear-like tentacles, and in the final moment, death came....
And the final golden bullet blew her skull apart, and she collapsed at the feet of the frightened men, blood and bone fragments covering their bodies. The Queen continued to scream a high-pitched shriek of agony, and her tentacles continued to wriggle in the throes of death, so the men stepped back and continued firing at the body of the Queen, until the terrible shrieking stopped, and the gargantuan corpse lay motionless in the middle of the street.
The scene was gruesome... everywhere lay bodies of the undead, fallen and torn to pieces. There lay the body of Dickie Barrow, and Edward Thompson. John King and Naomi Bertolucci lay motionless, mortally wounded, with gaping holes in their torsos. Ron Kendall also lay unconscious and bleeding, with a terrifying hole torn in his back. The body of the Omega creature was nearby, a gory mess. The Plague Demons were torn to pieces.
In the end, only four remained, out of the sixteen who arrived. The nightmare was over.
...Wasn't it?

Frederic Marcus, Monica Guthrie, and Cindy Bailey limped through the long, dark tunnel, breathing through the masks covering their face. They had been through hell... they had witnessed things no human should have to see. The madness was behind them. The pain and the suffering was behind them. Ahead, somewhere, at the end of this tunnel, there was light.
Sanctuary.
Medicine.
Food.
Sanity.
When they reached the other side, they phoned for help, and they were transported by helicopter to the nearest decontamination and trauma center, set up outside of Dark Falls. With any luck, they could be healed of their wounds, and cured of the plague inside their bodies. They would be able to live their lives once more... though they would never, ever be the same.
But what if this evil somehow escaped the quarantine zone? What if the nightmare was allowed to continue?
Those thoughts were too horrible to entertain.
It was best to simply rest, and let sleep come.

Phase Twelve is officially over. You now have 4 days to send in your orders for Phase 13, including the remaining time left today. If I made a mistake in your character card, let me know.
FYI the deadline is 11:59 PM on March 21st. PLEASE get your orders in on time. The game should be much simpler now...

At some point in the near future in this game, there will be a drop in activity due to the fact that there are too few people covering too wide an area. Now, the game needs to be resolved, and I have a plan of action to make it so.
Rate of movement increase: You will be able to move from a landmark to the nearest landmarks instantaneously.
Those at the Bio-lab/ North subway station can move to the Clock Tower, the Arklay Tunnel, Main Street Subway Station, and the Police Station in one turn.
Those at the Clock Tower can move to the Bio-Lab, the Cemetery, the Arklay Tunnel, and the Police Station in one turn.
Those at the Arklay Tunnel can move to the Bio-Lab, the Cemetery, and Dark Falls in one turn.
Those at the Police Station can move to the Main gate, the Hospital, the Bio-lab, the Main Street Subway Station, and the Clock Tower in one turn.
Those at the Hospital can move to the Main Gate, the Police Station, and the Church in one turn.
Those at the Church can move to the Hospital, Main Street Subway station, the City Hall, the South Bridge, and the Water Treatment Plant in one turn.
Those at the South Bridge can move to the Church and the Water Treatment Plant in one turn.
Those at the Water Treatment Plant can move to the South Bridge, the Church, and City Hall in one turn.
Those at City Hall can move to the Church, the Main Street Subway Station, the Water Treatment Plant, the Military Base, and the Tank Yard in one turn.
Those at the Military Base can move to the Hangar, Tank Yard, and City Hall in one turn. They can also move to Dark Falls in two turns.
Those at Dark Falls can move to the Cemetery, Arklay Tunnel in one turn. They can also move to the Military base in two turns.
Those at the Tank Yard/Hangar can move to the Military Base and City Hall in one turn.
Those at the Main Street Subway Station can move to the Church, Police Station, City Hall, and the Bio-lab in one turn.
Those at the Main Gate can move to the Police Station and the Hospital in one turn.
Line of Sight increase: Everyone will be able to see an additional tile distance away from where they are, no matter how much or how little awareness you have.
Aftermath: When there are no more factions remaining who wish to leave, the remaining factions will fight it out.
They will be allowed to move only from landmark to landmark until the game is over, and they will be automatically transported to the nearest landmark.
None of these will be implemented this phase. But, I believe phase 15 might be a good time to start. So you would have 2 phases, 13 and 14, of normal game activity before the changes are implemented.
Also, I won't make these changes unless you guys vote on it by a 2/3 majority, the earliest time this can be implemented is phase 15.
Do these seem like a good idea? (please see discussion thread for responses, don't reply here)
Ingrid Valentine spotted them off in the distance.... there were too many to count. This group was far larger than all the others.... an entire horde of shuffling, staggering, moaning, groaning, undead creatures. A cold chill spread across her skin, and the hair on the back of her neck stood on end. Ingrid thought about her life so far... and how it had all been destroyed by these zombies. So many friends, neighbors, and family members taken and destroyed by these terrible madmen. She was a wealthy heiress to the Valentine Paper company, but under the current circumstances, the economy had collapsed and there was no real demand for paper, and no one around to do the work. The nearby town with the factory had been evacuated, and the stock market had crumbled. Her family fortune was worthless... her future looked bleak. She was angry. They had taken everything from her. She was tired of running. It seemed like she was just going around in circles. And she felt her still-bleeding wounds from the Omega Transformation who attacked her. They would leave terrible scars that would never go away. All she had left was the weaponry she had collected... and the voices of a thousand people whose lives had been destroyed by these things.
Without hesitation, she ran toward the zombies, and shouted obscenities at them, daring them to come get some more fresh meat. For good measure, she fired a couple of rounds from her Ingram MAC, and got their attention. They started marching in her direction. She ran toward the nearest building, just a few hundred feet away. Before she got there, she ducked behind a rock, and placed a jug of oil behind it, and grabbed her stick of dynamite from her bag. She slid the stick into the top of the jug, and attached an extra-long fuse to the dynamite, looked up at the zombies, and did a quick calculation in her head, then she lit the fuse. She ran to the abandoned strip mall, and kicked open the door of a boarded-up barber shop. It was here where she would make her stand. Grabbing her equipment bag, she reached in and took a hand grenade out of one of the pouches. She set her automatic weapons on the receptionist's desk, and stood in the doorway, the hand grenade at the ready, her fingers on the pin, waiting.... waiting....
The zombies were running as fast as they could, and the were almost at the strip mall. As they stepped into the parking lot, the dynamite stick exploded, igniting the oil and blasting the burning fuel all over the zombies. The blast knocked many of the zombies to the pavement, and a pair of zombies who were standing too close to the blast were blown into tiny pieces. There were 18 zombies remaining, and they got to their feet and continued toward the barber shop. That's when Ingrid pulled the pin out of the hand grenade, and threw it as hard as she could, right into the center of the zombie horde.
The grenade clattered to the ground, and landed almost dead center in the middle of the group. A split second later, the grenade exploded. The destruction was incredible. No less than seven zombies were incinerated by the blast... and many more zombies were thrown from the blast, injured, and were slow to get up from the ground. Several zombies, however, escaped the blast and were almost across the parking lot and nearing the barber shop.
All out of fancy explosive devices, Ingrid grabbed her trusty Ingram MAC and began firing into the crowd, blindly, blowing the head off of the lead zombie. The dreadful clicking sound indicated that her favorite weapon was all out of ammunition. She grabbed her Army Rifle and unloaded on everything that remained.
Several zombies were almost at the door of the barber shop, and so she aimed at a trio of zombies that were almost upon her. A pair of bullets blew apart the skull of the leftmost zombie, and she lowered her weapon as she turned to the right, blasting the middle zombie in the chest, hitting the creature in the heart, and impacting the creature all the way through to the spine. She continued firing and aimed low, as the third zombie prepared to jump on her, she blew out it's knee and it fell to the ground. It continued crawling toward her, and grabbed her ankle. She lowered the weapon and splattered the back of it's skull against the pavement.
Another wave of zombies was upon the barber shop, and she backed into the building, firing as she went. The zombies filed into the doorway, and she fired at the bottleneck. A barrage of six shots impacted the first zombie in the chest, blowing a massive hole right through it, dropping it quickly to the ground. The zombie behind it also dropped dead from a fatal shot to the head, and a third zombie collapsed from the big hole in its neck, twitching as it went down.
She had her back to the wall of the barber shop now, and continued firing into the horde, which had now broken into the barber shop, swarming all around her. Several shots caused the zombie in front of her to collapse and fall on her, knocking her to the ground. She kept firing at the remaining three zombies, causing serious damage. But the zombie that was upon her was biting through her leg, and so she turned her weapon on it and fired again, ripping giant holes in its torso. One of the zombies grabbed her arm and bit down on it, causing her to miss the others. Her weapon continued to fire, but now it was just hitting air. She grabbed her combat knife from her belt, and began stabbing the zombies which were all over her.
"This if for my mother!" She cried out as she stabbed the zombie on her arm. "This is for my father!" She screamed as she stabbed the zombie on her leg. "This is for my friend, Angela Chambers!" She shouted as she impaled the creature that just bit down on her stomach. "And this is for me!" she yelled, as she stabbed the creature that just bit down onto her neck. She cried out from the pain, but continued stabbing the creature in an angry rage, and she continued stabbing them until everything went black.
The remaining zombies bared their fangs and went to work carving up her body... this one was far more delicious than anything they've ever tasted before....
_______________________
Frank, Oswald, and Billy looked at their fallen comrades, and the gaping wounds in their bodies. They noticed that the creatures were still moving, and so they decided that it was better to play it safe rather than sorry. They set up an elaborate trap involving a trip wire, a hand grenade, motor oil, shotgun shells, and nails. This was going to be devastating. They scurried off to the east, and watched each others' back, looking for any sign of danger. Allyson Mackenzie followed them, gripping her hand grenade out of caution. Just a few blocks away, they heard the telltale sound of an explosion, and the sound of a yowling cat. It seemed their elaborate trap had been tripped by a stray cat! What a waste.
As they continued, they noticed a few other people nearby. Ryan Henderson was examining the area, looking for something. Kevin Ashford and David Fisher approached from the south, scanning the area. They all nodded at one another, weapons drawn, as if to identify themselves as not hostile. But they kept their distance from each other.
Frank turned to Oswald. "It looks clear." Oswald nodded. Billy raised his Killer7, and said nervously,
"uh..... guys......"
Frank and Oswald dove out of the path of the giant creature's swinging claw, and opened fire. The other humans in the area were alerted by the gunshots, but some of them were caught unaware, with their weapons lowered. Allyson Mackenzie chucked a hand grenade at the creature and ran away as fast as she could, not even bothering to stay and get herself killed. The explosion caused some damage but didn't even stun the creature, as it began swinging wildly at everything in its path. It was extraordinarily fast, slashing and biting at a rate of four times in a given second... it charged towards Ryan Henderson and slashed him across the neck, spilling his blood out onto the street. Then it went south, attacking the pair of humans who were caught unprepared. The beast tackled David Fisher, biting him in the shoulder and rolling into Kevin Ashford, breaking the man's arm as they started to tumble. The creature bit down hard on his chosen victim and began shaking the life out of him, emitting something that sounded like a cross between a lion's roar and a wolf growl.
As if that weren't bad enough, another foul creature entered the scene from the south, and grabbed David Fisher out from the ripping fangs and tearing jaw of the other creature. This thing swung David around and tossed him like a rag doll into a parked car, and he went shattering through the back window, equipment bag and all.
Things went from even worse to nightmarish as a fearsome creature lumbered onto the scene... a titan standing nearly 15 feet tall, weighing over a ton, covered in armor plating, horns, claws, tentacles, and the stench of death.
It was at this moment that Oswald Hamilton got his bearings, and gripped his Golden Lugers, aiming carefully... he fired at the fast, clawed Tyrant. With two gleaming bullets, and two perfect shots to the head, he put down the crazed Tyrant... and it died instantly, before it could attack Kevin Ashford. He turned, and with his friends, he started shooting at the towering, armored titan that threatened to destroy them all. Two golden bullets failed to penetrate the creature's outer skeleton. Billy Cain also fired golden bullets into the creature's frame, causing a minor dent in the thing's skull plating. But it continued to advance, snorting disdainfully at the feeble attempts to kill it. Frank Kendo fired his Killer7 at the creature, but his bullets also caused no damage. They looked at each other, worried, and backed up from the creature.
Kevin Ashford grabbed a weapon from his pack, and even with his busted arm, he managed to pull the cord, and the chainsaw roared to life. He charged toward the large creature with the one massive arm, and tried to saw it in half, but the blow was deflected by the creature's massive limb. Even so, the saw cut deep into the creature's main weapon, and caused it to bleed profusely and moan in terrible pain.
David Fisher, bleeding and battered but still conscious, pulled a weapon out of his equipment bag and aimed it at the armored Tyrant storming toward the other humans.
"Hasta la vista, baby...."
He fired the m136 anti-armor weapon. The rocket streaked toward the target and.... IMPACTED the creature dead in the chest, blowing it off of its feet and knocking it into a nearby building. The resulting explosion shattered the creature's armor-plated chest, and very nearly stunned the creature. But this thing was built like a tank... a living, breathing, tank. It simply got up and started advancing on the others once again. Fisher's jaw dropped at the sight of this, and unloaded another round right into his pants.
But Ryan Henderson, still bleeding from the throat, and looking rather pissed off, stood toe-to-toe with the armor-plated Tyrant, and began firing into the creature's exposed abdomen and chest cavity. The pain caused the creature to stagger, and blood and guts started pouring out of the massive wound... until the creature actually slipped on its own splattered entrails, and collapsed on its back. Ryan climbed on top of the creature, and continued firing into its exposed organs. The Tyrant sprouted several dozen tentacles and grabbed Ryan, and was about to force the man into its massive, open jaws, when Ryan aimed at the creature's eye, located quite near to its jaw. He fired mercilessly into the eye, bullets splattering right through the weak point, and entering the Tyrant's brain. The shock of this caused the creature to release Ryan, who scrambled back toward the open chest cavity and unloaded some more. Blood and guts splattered Ryan in the face, and all over his clothes, but he continued firing the RCP90 until the screams of the massive creature subsided.
Several of the others had already fled the scene. At the sight of Ryan, Billy, Oswald, and Frank, and the corpses of its dead brethren, the final Tyrant shuffled back into the shadows...

Leon Harris knew what he was about to do was dangerous, but it was no more dangerous than staying in Dark Falls one more moment. He tried several times to latch his grappling hook onto the other side of the abyss, until he finally made solid contact. When he was sure it would support his weight, he tied the other end tightly to the nearest solid structure, and began to pull himself across. He climbed and he climbed, and he never looked back or looked down. He just focused on the rope... and held on for dear life.
When he got to the other side, he ran as fast as he could toward the horizon, where he saw several military vehicles and the flag of the United States, as well as the symbol of the Red Cross. He shouted out that he needed help, and raised his arms to indicate he wasn't armed.

Mister Scott Kennedy, Lucy, and Simon stopped for a moment to rest. Their long journey was coming to an end, hopefully.
"Where's Jessica?" Simon asked. "I don't know... wasn't she guarding the rear?" Lucy said, looking back.
Mister Kennedy looked rather worried. What were they going to do now?

Yuri Stone started coughing and hacking up blood, and dropped to her knees. Her eyes started glowing, and her skin began to take on a slightly greenish hue. She clutched her chest, and screamed in pain.
Manuella immediately stood in front of Sherry, and drew her blade. Amelia and Ashley stood back, weapons drawn, waiting for Yuri's next move.
Yuri snarled at them, and ran off in blinding speed. Vance went dashing off after her, with his sniper rifle in hand. He chased after her for several blocks, and then, realizing he was unable to catch her, stood, aimed, and fired his weapon. The bullet streaked toward the target, and impacted her in the back, blowing a huge hole in her chest. But she did not even break stride. In fact, her body began to instantly reform itself into a messy blob of flesh. Vance could not believe what he saw, and prepared to fire again, but Yuri dashed into a large building.

The group of people advanced carefully into the darkness. One of them took out a flashlight and scanned the area, while the others stood in a defensive position, well armed.
"Guys, look!"
They turned and saw what appeared to be a note, written by Monica Guthrie. Next to a giant stash of weapons and gear.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Frank, Oswald, Billy, David, Kevin, and Allyson ran as quickly as they could, from the massive titan that was stalking them. When they were out of breath, they turned and raised their weapons, making themselves ready for battle. Several tense moments later, a massive creature crashed out of a building to the south of them, and charged toward the group. Frank Kendo lifted up his Gatling gun and opened fire, warning the others of the attack. The others turned and raised their weapons, but it was too late. The beast reached out with its gigantic hand and punched Kevin Ashford in the face, knocking him to the ground and out cold, bleeding and broken. Then the creature grabbed David Fisher, and squeezed the poor man in its bare hand, crushing his ribcage and collapsing his lungs, and squishing his vital organs. The creature then slammed him to the ground with such terrifying force that it cracked the pavement, and crushed his skull into a hundred pieces.
The creature charged toward the others, already riddled with bullets, heading toward the source of its pain... the man with the Gatling gun. The Tyrant reached out with its massive, deadly hand... roaring in terrible pain. In one terrifying instant it was all over. The beast slammed to the ground, twitching, as Frank continued to unload into it."YEAH!!! YEAH!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! TAKE THAT YOU SON OF A...."
When the thing stopped moving, Frank walked over to the creature, and looked at the impressive damage he caused. He then took out his shades and slid them on his face, and wryly commented-
"Ooooh... That's gonna leave a mark!!!"

Jessica Warner wasn't feeling at all well. She started feeling light-headed.... and dizzy. As she was running, she suddenly started coughing up blood and choking. She couldn't breathe.
She slowed down for a moment to catch her breath, but instead she vomited and passed out there in the street. Was this the end for her?

Vance spotted the creature, which had doubled back in the opposite direction, much to his surprise. He chased it down as best he could, and aimed his Golden Dragunov at the creature. His aim wasn't very good, and he merely clipped the creature in the shoulder, which quickly regenerated.
The creature spotted Vance, and raced toward him at blinding speed. The creature pulled out a samurai blade, and was upon him in seconds. Vance withdrew his own blade, and met the oncoming blow with his own deadly steel. The creature's eyes were glowing white, and moving faster than Vance could even see. He was forced to back up steadily, and deflect the blows as fast as his reflexes would allow. This creature was fast, but not particularly skilled at using the weapon. Still, one false move and Vance would be dead, because each of the rapid swings was directed at a vital area... this creature meant business.
"I know that you're in there somewhere, Yuri.... there's no need for this. Leave us alone, and go hunt elsewhere!"
The creature just snarled and continued with the deadly swings.
"You can't win... now leave before I have to finish this! There is still good in you... escape while you still can!"
The creature laughed and replied:
"It is too late for me, Vance... and it will soon be too late for you as well. If you wish a quick and painless death, lower your sword. Or just allow the virus to transform you into something far more glorious... far superior to your weak, primitive flesh! It doesn't matter what you choose, because there is no escape from your inevitable death!!!"
The creature sliced deep into Vance's arm, causing him to spurt blood everywhere. It was a deep wound, possibly fatal if he didn't get medical attention.
"I didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice...."
Vance suddenly found the strength to press forward. He held his wounded arm at his side, and turned his body so that he could attack with the Wakizashi as if it were a foil. He was able to deflect Yuri's blows and keep his body safe behind the blade. He was a much better swordsman than Yuri, and deflected Yuri's furious strikes with ease.
Up in the sky, there was the sound of thunder and the flash of lightning.
The flashes of lightning illuminated Yuri's twisted face. Her eyes were cold, and faintly glowing. She had a look of pure malevolence upon her. The rain began to fall in a severe downpour.... quickly filling the street with splashing puddles as they battled. Vance's blade continued to strike against Yuri's... and she grew more frustrated, more contemptuous of Vance, whereas Vance remained calm and focused.
Yuri was now the one moving backwards, warding off Vance's blows. She tried to become even more aggressive, swinging wildly and without purpose, just in sheer rage and madness. Vance deflected one blow, and moved in. He was underneath the blade, and with a flick of his wrist, he twisted the samurai blade out of Yuri's hands and came in for the kill. He slid the blade deep into her chest, impaling her all the way through, and then kicked her in the knee, knocking her to the ground, and delivered a swift roundhouse to her jaw, sending her skidding into the flooded ditch.
Yuri was not finished, because she immediately got up and attacked Vance, charging at him unarmed, trying to rip his face off. With another smooth motion, Vance stepped aside and the blade slid through her stomach and the side of her torso. She didn't even react to the pain, she simply turned around and charged at him again. Vance ducked as she tried to tackle him, and he sliced off her leg, flipping her over onto her back, slamming her into the street once again.
Yuri cursed his name, but was quickly to her feet once more. Her leg was already starting to re-form, albeit not as sturdy as before. She searched through the rainwater, looking for her blade, so she could finish off Vance. When she found the blade, she turned around to face him again.... and he was gone.

Michael Otto gripped his Broken Butterfly... an antique weapon, but extremely powerful. He made his way through the streets of Dark Falls, searching for more pathetic fools to slay.
He stopped for a moment, listening carefully. There seemed to be noises nearby.
He was almost certain he saw something move in the darkness nearby. Michael Otto grinned... this must be his lucky day. He aimed at the movement in the shadows and fired. But to his surprise, the figure did not drop to the ground. In fact, it moaned loudly and charged forward from the darkness, accompanied by several others.
Michael turned and fired upon each of the figures coming towards him, but they were almost on top of him and he was using an antique revolver. There was no way he would be able to shoot them all, so he turned and started to run, only to find a group of zombies behind him as well. And to the left.... and to the right. Michael was entirely surrounded. He fumbled to try to put more bullets into the revolver, and aimed once more, and fired....
The Edward Marini transformation took 2 bullets to the chest, and fell to the ground. But the Ramon Regan transformation was on top of Otto in a flash, beating him to death with an iron rod. Greg Patrick impaled him in the side with a pitchfork (where did he get a pitchfork from?), and the Jack Davidson transformation threw a long butcher knife and impaled him in the neck. Soon enough, Edward Thompson tackled Otto to the ground and began biting his face, tearing the exposed flesh from his skull.
Michael Otto fired blindly into the horde of zombies with his revolver, but it was too late... Edward Thompson bit down on his throat and ripped it from his body.

A group of four people converged on the Tank. The Tank rolled to a stop, and the hatch opened up. The occupant of the Tank looked at those survivors, and motioned for them all to enter the Tank.
When they got inside, Allyson Mackenzie began coughing up blood, and passed out from her fever.
Leon S. Kennedy took out his flare gun and fired it straight up into the air, illuminating the sky above his head, visible to everyone in town.
(Location T25)

Ryan Henderson was so close to freedom.... he dashed toward the outer wall of the city, when suddenly, he felt a stabbing pain in his stomach. He fell to the ground, bleeding, the victim of a sniper bullet...
The bleeding was pretty bad. He wasn't sure if he would be able to continue on....
Would he die in this horrible place? He was so close to the end of this nightmare.... it seemed terribly unfair.
"No", Ryan thought.... he clutched his wounds and attempted to drag himself to safety. Just a little bit farther.... just a little.... more.....
But he could only get a few more feet before he passed out from the shock of it all.
____________________________
Elsewhere, Yuri Stone was searching for Vance with a murderous look in her glowing, white eyes. From out of nowhere, a bullet punched a hole in her chest, causing her ribcage to collapse. She was knocked to the cold, flooded street.
The sniper, hidden under a tarp, whispered a silent affirmation of success, but the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end when Yuri Stone simply got up.... and the hole in her torso began to seal up.
Then, things got even worse.....
The zombie horde had arrived.
_____________________________
Frank Kendo, Oswald Hamilton, and Billy Cain reached the abandoned Airport, where they saw a Hangar.
They had each located a spare Hangar Key from the Bio-lab, and were now ready to get the heck out of this crazy town.
Suddenly, their radio crackled to life.
Mister X: Greetings, Gentlemen. I see that you have reached the Hangar. Inside you will find the Chopper, and you will use it to escape the quarantine zone and avoid the decontamination process. We have much better facilities at our headquarters. Let me know when you're in the air.
Hamilton: Yes, sir.
*the radio crackles silent*
Frank Kendo: I guess we didn't need to worry about Kennedy after all...
Billy Cain: Just get in the chopper before he gets here.
They took to the air, and disappeared into the night....
SynTech escapes with THREE SAMPLES of the Omega-II viral strain, having totally eradicated the Umbrella Team and having accomplished all of their mission objectives, in addition to destroying crowds of zombies and assisting in the destruction of the Plagas Team.
SynTech Systems scores an OVERWHELMING VICTORY and they are the OVERALL WINNERS OF THE GAME.
Congratulations, Captain Blackadder, Psychonaut, and Ironside.
Congratulations, Crazed Rabbit, as you also share in your original team's overall victory.

Peter Mueller climbed on top of the familiar looking old building and readied his Dragunov rifle. He heard the telltale sounds of moaning and shuffling at the ground level, and sure enough he spotted a giant horde of zombies at the entrance of the building. There was no way to jump to safety, so with a grim expression on his face, he prepared to waste as many zombies as he possibly could with his trusty Gatling gun. He stood at the edge of the rooftop and aimed his mini-gun right at the roof access door, and when he heard movement, he shouted out to anyone approaching to identify themselves. But when no one answered, and there was nothing but scraping and banging on the door, he unloaded into it.
In a flash, the Ingrid Valentine transformation was torn to shreds, as well as the George Rodruiguez transformation. The former serial killer, the Charles Holland transformation, was there as well, swinging a pickaxe, and he swiftly went down under a rain of bullets. More and more zombies poured out of the roof access stairwell, and Peter Mueller grimly continued to fire without mercy. However, behind him, several zombies had decided to climb the building from the outside... and he was tackled from behind by the Betty Gionne transformation, and beaten within an inch of his life with a metal crowbar. As the zombies swarmed around him, he struggled to escape from her grip, but to no avail. Suddenly, just as the zombies were to tear him to shreds, they cleared a path to the exit. Peter spotted his Golden Dragunov sniper rifle near the doorway, and the path seemed clear, so he made one final attempt to wriggle free, but he couldn't shake her off of his leg.
At this point, a hulking, towering figure appeared from the stairwell, walking slowly, wearing a sack over his head. You wouldn't know it from the pale skin, but this was the Final Transformation of Alfred Branagh. The massive man was wielding an equally massive weapon.... a gasoline-powered chainsaw. The blood drained from Peter Mueller's face as he saw this freakishly huge zombie pull the cord and bring the machine roaring to life. Mueller twisted his leg to break free, but he was surrounded by a crowd of hungry cannibal corpses, and there was no place to run. He tried to back away but he was simply grabbed by Betty Gionne again, and he screamed at the top of his lungs as he saw Alfred Branagh raise the chainsaw high above his head, and then bring it crashing down across Peter Mueller's neck and torso. In a few terrifying seconds, the machine had torn completely through Peter Mueller, and the pieces of his body collapsed onto the roof, with dark red blood gushing everywhere.
_____________________
Vance ran as fast as he could, keeping hidden as best he could, escaping from the horde of zombies and heading east toward the bright light of the flare that he saw minutes ago. But he didn't make it very far before a figure leaped out at him and began swinging a metal pipe at him. Reacting purely on instinct, Birkin stepped back and raised his Golden weapon up, and blasted the zombie's head clean off of its shoulders. The thing continued swinging wildly, trying desperately to destroy Vance, but Vance just kept on running. In a few minutes, the headless corpse fell over and began twitching, and then it was silent.

Ashley Dewey gathered her courage, and attempted to exit Dark Falls by the Main Gate. No sooner had she stepped outside of the safety of the walls did the Zombie Commandos open fire. There were heavy machine guns, rifles, and lit sticks of dynamite being thrown. She dropped to the ground to avoid the weapons fire, and rolled out of the way to avoid the blast of a dynamite stick cluster held together by tape. These zombies weren't of the usual variety.... they were cunning, patient, and they were hidden safely behind sandbags and barbed wire. There was just no way out of Dark Falls that way, short of a heavily armored vehicle.
When Ashley gathered herself back into the relative safety of Dark Falls, she noticed that Manuella had raised her flare gun and fired a flare high into the sky, illuminating her location at the Main Gate in O-1.... obviously requesting assistance.
Ashley suddenly felt terrible pain in her stomach, and felt a flash fever. She began coughing profusely, and watched in horror as blood came gushing out of her mouth, from her lungs. She fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Jake Downing had all the miserable luck in the world. Just as he had arrived where he thought the Tank had been, it was gone! He could hear the tank off in the distance, but between him and the tank was a crowd of unidentified figures. He saw some damn fool hop over the fence and try to navigate the mine field, and good luck to that chap. He had noticed a zombie wandering near there and it got blown to kingdom come.
Well Jake wasn't going out that way. He was still bandaged up from his previous engagements, but he was feeling better. Now, if he could only tell if those figures approaching were friend or foe...
*BOOOOOOOOM*
What the heck was that??? It nearly gave poor Jake a heart attack.
______________________
Allyson Mackenzie woke up. She felt different... very different. It felt as though there were a million fire ants crawling around in her brain, biting her, driving her mad. At the same time, her internal organs felt like something. It was a strange feeling... she could feel her digestive tract tensing up and moving around like a coiled snake. She also noticed that she wasn't breathing, and didn't feel the urge to do so.
Where was this place? She was in a dimly lit, loud vehicle of some kind. There were four people near the front of the vehicle, and stacks of supplies and kevlar vests nearby, as well as several weapons strapped to the hull of the vehicle. There were two benches or seats of some kind against the side of the rear part of the vehicle, some indicator lights and switches, and what appeared to be some kind of stepladder hanging from the ceiling, leading through a cylindrical tube to an upper level. The front of the vehicle was mostly obscured from view by what appeared to be a thick, sturdy wall. It was very disorienting to be inside this vehicle. But, with the confined space and the number of people in the vehicle, the very first thing that she thought of upon awakening.... was bloody murder.
"Hey Leon, she's awake." noted Doctor Arnold.
Allyson pulled the pin from her hand grenade and rolled it toward the front of the vehicle, with a look of pure hatred on her face.
"It's a GRENADE!! TAKE COVER!!!!" Shouted the Doctor. The others remained behind the thick wall in the front of the vehicle, separating the two compartments, but Simon grabbed a stack of Kevlar vests and jumped on top of the grenade, covering the weapon with many layers of thick armor. The grenade exploded, and the resulting blast tore Simon's face and torso to shreds, tossing him against the padded interior of the tank. He was knocked out instantly and was near death. The blast shook the tank, and caused the hatch at the top to be blown open from the air pressure. Everyone in the tank was stunned from the blast, and the loudness of it caused their ears to pop. The tank ground to a halt as Leon Kennedy was unable to keep moving.
Leon was the first to come to, and knew they were all in danger. He looked back into the back compartment, and saw that Allyson was still alive, and reaching for a large weapon near the middle of the vehicle, where they had stored Allyson's gear. As soon as she grabbed it, Leon was upon her, and he sliced her torso in half with the Cold Steel Dragonfly, and hacked her arm off to prevent her from firing the weapon.
But his first concern was safety, he needed to get the wounded out of there. He started helping the others out of the tank, starting with the wounded Doctor, and ending with Lucy Salinas, the Botanist that had been with him for so long. He noted that Allyson's body was still moving, and had reached the m136 anti-armor weapon and was preparing to fire. He pushed the others out of the vehicle, and tried to pull Lucy out safely, but the anti-armor weapon was fired.
BOOOOOOOOM
The Allyson Mackenzie in the tank was not the same as the Allyson Mackenzie before. She was no longer human.... she was not longer sane. She had been slashed to pieces, and she was swiftly incinerated inside of the tank from the weapon she fired in murderous rage. Allyson Mackenzie was no more.
The explosion tore Lucy's legs to pieces and threw her and Kevin Ashford clear of the tank, landing roughly on the pavement nearby. But that was not the end of their nightmare... Jessica Warner was on top of the Tank, keeping guard. Leon was tending to Simon, when Jessica tapped him on the shoulder. They looked up and saw a horde of zombies approaching from all directions... the Tank was still too hot, and flames were pouring out of the cabin, they couldn't retreat back inside. Here, they would be forced to make their stand against the zombies.
Jessica Warner opened fire on the zombies with her RCP90, taking out the legs of the approaching horde. They were coming from all directions, leaping from the top of the nearby buildings, landing on the tank and swinging metal pipes, knives, pickaxes, pitchforks, and other assorted nastiness. Simon Arnold watched in horror as a crazed maniac with a pickaxe swung the weapon straight at his face, and that was the last thing he ever saw. His skull was split in half. Kevin Ashford fumbled for his weapon, but he was tackled from behind by a trio of zombies, and was stabbed and bludgeoned until they finally tore his neck apart with their gnashing fangs. Lucy Salinas fared no better, she was impaled through the torso with a butcher knife, and a zombie wielding a shovel swung so hard that when it hit her neck, she was decapitated. What a way to go.
Leon watched in horror as those people he worked so very hard to rescue were brutally murdered before his very eyes.... and a part of him snapped. The zombies were climbing on top of the tank, and Jessica Warner was struggling to keep the zombies from finishing her off.... but already she was being bitten and dragged from the top of the burning tank. Leon withdrew his Cold Steel Dragonfly one more time, and sliced the arm of the zombie dragging Jessica to her doom. She nodded and continued firing, fighting back to back with Leon. The zombies kept coming, but Jessica took out their legs and kicked them off of the tank, while Leon swung the cold blade like a madman.
He was angry.... he was torn apart inside. His friends.... they would pay for murdering his friends. He lashed out in rage, and decapitated the nearest zombie, then turned and impaled the next one in the stomach, and then twisted the blade into the heart of the creature, and then kicked the zombie off of the tank. Two more zombies jumped onto the tank, and Leon charged.... he swung low, and took out the legs of both zombies, causing them to crumple against the hull. He then planted one foot next to the head of one of the zombies, and swung his other steel-toed boot as hard as he could, and crushed the zombie's skull as it sailed off its body and to the pavement below. He then swung the katana and severed the other zombie's head in half, leaving only his neck and jaw.
The Tank now cleared of zombies, Leon jumped into the crowd, screaming with rage, and charged them all head on. His face and body splattered with blood, he looked more dangerous than ever. He slashed at the crowd of zombies, felling many with a single swing, and twisted himself around to deliver a second swing in the same direction. He then twisted around in the other direction, swinging low and taking out the legs of many, including zombies coming from behind. A trio of zombies approached him from the front, and Leon rushed forward, stabbing the rightmost zombie in the neck, and then he sliced to the right, removing its head. The swing built momentum as he spun completely around, cutting through the torso of the leftmost zombie and causing it to crumple to the ground, continuing into the middle zombie until it lost speed and struck bone. Leon leaned forward, face contorted with rage, and spat in the face of the remaining zombie, and lifted the blade straight up, ripping the creature's ribcage in half, and finishing the slice vertically through the middle of its face. The remainder of the creature spilled all over the ground in a quivering mass of pain. When Leon and Jessica looked around for more zombies, they saw that there were none.
They had slaughtered them all.... and somehow, they had survived.
Ryan Henderson knew he was being watched, and he tried one last desperate thing to avoid being shot for the final time. He got up, and then rolled behind one of the buildings. He lit a stick of dynamite and threw it in the direction of his attacker. Little did he realize his attacker had moved on. He saw the fence up ahead, and he grabbed his metal detector. He tossed some of his equipment over the side, to see if that might trigger an explosion.... nothing happened. So, Ryan knew it was safe to land there. He climbed the fence and dropped down on his bags, and winced in pain. He was still bleeding pretty badly... he needed to move quickly while he could still maintain his balance.
Ahead of him lay a wide open field.... deceptively calm and safe. It looked as though he could just run to safety, but the warning signs posted all over the fence told otherwise. One false step and it was game over.
He waved the metal detector over the ground in front of him and waited for the telltale sound of clicking. He focused only on the ground... and moved as cautiously as possible. When he heard an explosion off in the distance, he nearly jumped out of his skin. He looked up and there was a look of utter dread on his face.
The minefield was full of zombies.... they were advancing toward Ryan with hungry mouths agape, and with no concern for their safety. One of the zombies must have triggered a mine... and now, hundreds of them were advancing right toward Ryan. A crowd of zombies was near one of the mines when it exploded, and the bodies were thrown from the blast in Ryan's direction. Their bodies landing in the dirt caused another explosion, and then another....
Henderson's ears were ringing.... he was going to go deaf from the explosions, but he had to remain focused, this was no time to panic, in spite of the circumstances. No, now was the time that Ryan had to summon his courage and use the adrenaline to his advantage. He focused on moving swifter, and sweeping the area with the metal detector.... there was no way forward, so he turned back around..... and then he turned to the left..... and then to the right..... with the zombies chasing after him the whole time, obliterating themselves in the process. Just as they were upon him, Ryan noticed a clear path of explosions that the zombies had left for him. All the mines in one corridor had been triggered, so he dropped all of his gear and the metal detector, and clutched his wounds, and ran as fast as he could, never stopping, never looking back, never allowing himself to give in to the pain, and the fear, and the despair.
He ran for three quarters of a mile, with the muscles in his legs burning, and his wounds still bleeding. He saw lights ahead... vehicles.... and people. He started to lose consciousness.
When he woke up, he was in some kind of enclosed space with bright lights.... he felt his body swaying, and he felt vibration. He was dazed and disoriented, but he saw people in masks tending to him.... he thought hard for a moment and concluded he was in an ambulance, being treated for his wounds.
For the first time in weeks, Ryan Henderson smiled.... and finally went to sleep. The nightmare was over.
With 5 civilian survivors escaping from Dark Falls, the town now has met the minimum requirements for a Marginal Victory.
The question is, will any of the remaining people in Dark Falls manage to survive? This is not a Hollywood movie.... there are no guaranteed happy endings.

Jake Downing saw the Tank off in the distance. He knew that this would be his last, best hope of escaping Dark Falls. But he wanted to make sure he got there alive, so he ducked into a back alley, to escape being seen from the street. He jogged as fast as he could, as quietly as he could. He checked left, he checked right, and then he continued. But from the rooftop above, his attackers spotted him, and made their move. The extremely cunning ones jumped down, landing three stories later, and surrounded Jake Downing. He raised his weapon and prepared to defend himself, when the Annette Burnside transformation landed on Jake himself, knocking his weapon away. Unarmed and pinned down by the weight of the creature, he struggled to get the thing off of him, but to no avail. She snarled hungrily at Jake, and it was all Jake could do to keep the creature's fangs off of his body. He gripped the creature by the neck to maintain separation, but Annette just clawed and scratched at Jake's face. He screamed in mortal terror as the other disfigured zombies lurched toward him. There was no escape. The zombies grabbed Jake's and literally tore him limb from limb, just as Annette bit down on Jake's throat and ripped it from his body.
Then there was only the sounds of hungry chewing and groaning.... and the sound of the rain falling and hitting the blood-soaked pavement.
__________________________
The four survivors stood at the main gate, waiting for the Tank to arrive. Several of them were feeling very sick, and they were watching each other very carefully, making sure that if any of them made any aggressive moves, the others would kill that person immediately.
Where was the tank? What happened to the tank?
Was there no more hope?
__________________________
Vance Birkin was also fortunate enough to spot the tank, and had followed it all the way to the subway station. The occupants of the tank seemed to notice Vance, and they stopped.
"Hey! Hey! I'm not a zombie! I'm not a zombie! Please let me in the tank!" shouted Vance.
Jessica Warner opened the tank hatch and motioned for him to come forward, aiming her RCP90 at him cautiously. Suddenly, Vance noticed that the expression on her face went from concern to sheer terror.
"Wait! I'm not a zombie! Don't be afrai---" Vance was interrupted by the sound of a Chainsaw roaring to life, and he turned around to see Alfred Branagh ripping straight through his torso with the vicious weapon. Vance fell to the ground in pieces, and gasped his last. He was no more. The zombies began to feast upon his body.
Jessica Warner was about to pull the trigger when a zombie landed on the back of the tank, and it nearly grabbed her before she ducked back inside the Tank. She urged Leon to use the tank to destroy the zombie horde, and Leon S. Kennedy was able to oblige. He swerved the tank directly toward Vance Birkin's fallen body, where four zombies were standing, ripping him to pieces. They looked up just a split second too late to react to the massive tank hurtling toward them at top speed. The tank crushed a small Volvo which had been situated between the zombies and the tank, and the tank went through it like a knife through butter, not stopping or even slowing down. It seemed the zombies were more concerned with ripping apart and eating Vance Birkin's tasty, tasty flesh than they were concerned with survival. With a sickening crunch, all four of the zombies were flattened.
Alfred Branagh and two of the remaining zombies were able to scramble inside the Tank, where Jessica Warner opened fire. The stream of bullets impacted one of the zombies, and several traveled through its body and hit the pair of zombies behind it. But Alfred Branagh was on a mission to destroy Leon Kennedy with the chainsaw, and went to the front compartment of the tank. Leon was distracted by the zombie horde outside, trying to crush them all with the tank itself. He heard the chainsaw being swung at his head, and at the last second he ducked away from it, but the chainsaw impacted him in the shoulder, tearing apart his flesh and bone, leaving Leon with severed nerves, broken bones, and a gory flesh wound which could make even a Marine nauseous from the sight of it.
Leon reacted quickly, drawing his Cold Steel Katana and hacking apart the Alfred Branagh zombie, starting with the limbs. After literally disarming the creature, he decapitated it, and moved to the back of the Tank with a vengeance. The two zombies were all over Jessica Warner, and Leon hacked them to pieces with the Katana.
He looked at Jessica Warner, and saw in her eyes that the virus had taken her. Even if it wasn't in its final stages, Leon knew it would happen soon enough. That combined with the bite wounds she sustained led Leon to suspect that she did not have much time. Leon was blind with rage, caught up in the heat of the moment, and perhaps he was starting to come down with the virus himself. Paranoia set in, and Leon wasn't thinking clearly. He approached Jessica Warner with his bloodied blade, with a sad look in his eyes.
Jessica looked up at him with yellow eyes and pale skin, and asked Leon "What are you doing?"
Leon: "I'm sorry...."
With a tear streaming down his cheek, Leon S. Kennedy swung the blade, and removed Jessica Warner's head from her body. Suddenly the shock of it all began to register. Leon just realized what he had done. He dropped the Katana and began to cry... and howl with rage.
Leon: "Why??? WHY????"
Leon's radio device crackled to life.
Ingrid Hunnigan: "Leon, are you all right?"
Leon just laid down inside the tank, feeling utterly defeated. He didn't even bother to cover his gaping shoulder wound. He wanted to bleed to death. He wanted to die.
Ingrid Hunnigan: "Leon?? LEON!!!"
Leon just remained silent. He had given up all hope.
Ingrid Hunnigan: "Don't you dare ignore me, mister. You will listen, and that's an ORDER!"
"Get up."
"Get up, Leon."
Leon rolled over onto his side, and saw the video phone laying on its side, against the corpses of the fallen.
Ingrid: "Your mission is not over yet. You must continue. Lives are depending on you, Leon"
Leon just shouted at her through streaming tears and a face contorted by rage: "NO ONE CAN DEPEND ON ME!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE???"
Ingrid: ......
Leon: "I'VE JUST KILLED JESSICA.... THE ONE YOU SENT TO HELP ME!!!"
Ingrid: "Leon...."
Leon: "NO, YOU LISTEN! I don't know what's happened to me... maybe the virus is getting to me... maybe I'm starting to turn... but I won't become one of them, I wont! I'll destroy myself before that happens. That's why I had to kill Jessica... to save her from the virus. To save her from a fate worse than death."
Ingrid: *gasp*
Leon: "But that was a mistake.... a terrible, unforgivable mistake. I can't go on, Hunnigan.... I can't face myself anymore. I've failed you... I've failed the people of this town.... I've failed myself... and I've failed Jessica Warner. I can't go on..... I just can't go on."
Ingrid (through tears): "Shut your mouth and stop talking. What you're going through is no different from what soldiers in combat feel if they accidentally shoot one of their comrades. It is a terrible, horrible feeling... but you have a responsibility to the rest of the people still alive in Dark Falls. You must survive long enough to get them the tank. You must do that much, or you will have truly failed."
Leon: ...........
Ingrid: "Listen to me, Leon. I've never admitted this before, but.... I need you to get out of there alive. You're a hero and a patriot and you're our last, best hope. We need you.... I need you. I....."
Leon: "What are you trying to say, Hunnigan?"
Ingrid: "I..... love you, Leon."
Leon: ......
Ingrid: "Get home safe. That's an order. Don't turn your back on me.... come home, Leon. Come home.... get out of that nightmarish place. Come home to us, and save as many people as you can in the process.... and you will be redeemed. You are our shining light. You are my shining light."
Leon: "I.... will try."
Ingrid: "Now get up, and pilot that tank directly for the Main Gate, and don't stop. They are waiting for you there. You must not fail them. The worst is behind you.... run for the finish line, mister Scott."

Leon pulled himself back to the front of the Tank, and began piloting it toward its ultimate destination, bandaging himself up in the process. He had been through hell.... just a little further.
______________
The four girls waited at the Gate, hoping and praying for a miracle. Indeed, they got one.... it seemed only Amelia Drew began exhibiting signs of the virus... she began choking on her own blood, turned beet red and passed out with a huge fever. The other girls kept their guns pointed at one another, while watching each other's back.
______________
Leon noticed shadowy figures moving outside of the Tank, but just kept on driving. He managed to stop the bleeding. Did he remember to lock the hatch?
______________
The bodies of the dead piled out of the cemetery in numbers too large to count. Many of them wielding chainsaws, axes, shovels, and other dangerous weapons. The horde was now unstoppable.
Another horde passed by the subway, following the scent of the fresh meat.... feasting on the fallen.
Still more shadowy figures moved into position. It was time.
Everyone held their breath. Who would win the day?

Leon S. Kennedy mended his wounds while the tank drove directly down main street, crushing cars and the corpses of the fallen. He looked down and continued bandaging up his body. When he looked up, he saw Yuri Stone standing in the middle of the street, m136 anti-armor weapon raised, her eyes glowing in the darkness. The rain and the darkness made it difficult to see. Leon quickly turned the tank, spinning it out of the way, just as Yuri fired the weapon. The explosion hit the Police Station, and rocked the building so hard that it collapsed from the damage. Leon swerved back, trying to crush Yuri Stone in the process. The creature just drew its blade.
Yuri had fully transformed now, and even though the tank had flattened her, the oozing goo that remained began to re-form itself into an undamaged Yuri creature once again, holding a Katana, eyes burning.
Leon continued driving the tank, trying to hurry up and get to the Main Gate. Just then, the Arthur Lester zombie ran out in front of the tank and tried to jump on top of it. Leon hit the accelerator and the creature bounced off of the front and had its arm crushed in the process. A loud thunk was heard in the back of the tank, but Leon kept driving as fast as the Tank would go.
Leon heard a noise coming from behind him, and turned quickly to see David Fisher, inside the tank, dead and zombified, about to bash his skull in with an iron rod. Leon dodged the swings, and felt it crack him directly on the kevlar vest. Leon was lucky he didn't suffer any damage, because the zombie grabbed Leon and tossed him across the tank, landing in the back, busting his lip open in the process.
The tank, now pilot-less, swerved and hit the Hospital. The tank slowed as it went through the building, ending up in the park nearby where it came to a stop. Two more thumps were heard as the other two zombies landed on the tank and began to crawl inside.
Leon wiped the blood from his lip and drew his Cold Steel Katana for the last time. His eyes burned with resolve.
(mute this video)
Yuri Stone dropped onto Leon Kennedy from above, and Leon swung at the Omega transformation, but it was simply too fast, and flipped backwards and out of the way. Leon rolled out of the way of Arthur Lester, who also dropped from above. The three Omega-II creatures surrounded Leon, who jumped up and grabbed the ladder and made his way out of the Tank. They grasped for Leon, but he was just quick enough to get away.
Leon stood on top of the tank and waited for the zombies to come. David Fisher leaped out of the tank and went charging towards Leon S. Kennedy, who quickly sliced the creature's torso in half, and removed its arm. The body went tumbling to the ground behind him, and Leon turned to face the other two zombies.
Yuri Stone was upon Leon in an instant, and the two began battling with their swords. Leon couldn't move nearly as fast as this creature, who had inhuman speed. The creature moved in a blur, a flurry of wild sword strikes. Fortunately for Leon the creature was swinging so wildly he was able to deflect most of the blows, and he was simply pushed backwards. Arthur Lester charged out of the tank, wielding a giant pickaxe, and swung towards Leon's head. While he was able to dodge, the weapon impaled leon in the side, where his vest was the weakest. Leon roared in pain as the weapon cracked his ribs and knocked the wind out of him. He rolled on the tank and landed next to David Fisher, who was still alive and grabbed Leon by the throat and tried to strange him with superhuman strength.
Leon was seeing stars, and he saw Yuri Stone about to deliver the finishing blow. He reached deep down and fought through the pain, and flipped his legs over his head, rolling out of the way of the deadly blade, and releasing himself from the grip of the zombie in the process. He stood, facing the three of them, balancing on the edge of the tank. Yuri Stone charged at Leon, but this time Leon made the first move. He stepped forward and swung the Cold Steel, slicing off Yuri Stone's hand, sending her katana flying. He then spun around and sliced off both of her legs, and impaled her through the torso, then smashed the creature with his fist, sending the creature flying off of the tank.
Arthur Lester was about to smash Leon Kennedy on the skull, but Leon reached up with one hand and stopped the blow from being deadly. The force of the swing still knocked Leon down, and the Cold Steel sword clattered out of his hands. Arthur Lester's eyes burned with triumph as he prepared to smash the hated Kennedy's skull in.... time to eat delicious brains....
full volume.
Leon rolled out of the way, and kicked the zombie in the knee from the side, breaking the joint. The zombie crumpled to one knee and continued swinging, but Leon flipped backwards and was on his feet. He charged the zombie, and deflected the blow of the iron rod with his arm, moving to the inside with the correct angle to avoid breaking his bones in the process. The iron rod bounced harmlessly off of his shoulder, leaving only a bruise. Leon grabbed the zombie's other arm, and twisted the wrist around to it's back. Leon then grabbed his combat knife and slashed the creature's throat. The creature reached up and grabbed Leon's arm, and tore the blade out of his hand. But Leon still had the other arm twisted around. He lifted the arm up, flipping the zombie over and breaking the joint, kept the hold applied, and as the zombie staggered to it's feet, Leon twisted himself around and delivered a back kick to the jaw of the zombie, releasing the hold in the process. The zombie staggered backwards, and Leon moved forward, delivering a sharp downward heel kick to the other knee of the zombie, smashing it at just the right moment to break the other joint. The creature fell to its hands and knees, and Leon began kicking the creature in the face. It straightened up to try to grab Leon, but Kennedy stepped to the side, and kicked it in the back of the head. It went straight down, face first, landing on the tank. Leon raised his heel high above his head, and brought his steel-tipped boot down with a swift and devastating amount of force. Arthur Lester's skull exploded from the impact, and the creature stopped moving. Leon went to go grab his Cold Steel dragonfly, which was just a few yards away. But by then, David Fisher had crawled over to the katana and now held it in its remaining hand.
Leon Kennedy drew his Red 9 and fired three bullets straight through the skull of the creature, the third bullet removing the creature's head entirely. The sword clattered onto the tank. Leon Kennedy stepped forward, and reached for the weapon. Yuri Stone flew back onto the tank with her katana raised. She was screeching and spitting venom, her eyes glowing white. She slashed Leon Kennedy, cutting him deep in the shoulder and penetrating his neck. She reared back and slashed again, penetrating his kevlar armor and cutting deep into his side. Then, she twisted around and impaled Leon through the leg, cutting a major artery. Leon screamed with pain, and the creature leaned in with an evil, wicked smile.
"Time to die, Mister Scott....." Yuri Stone said, fangs bared.
Leon S. Kennedy calmly replied. "I couldn't agree more."
Leon reached back and grabbed Jessica Warner's Wakizashi blade, from its sheath strapped to his back. Leon slid the weapon out and sliced off Yuri Stone's arms, leaving the Katana impaled in Leon's leg. Leon took Yuri's Cold Steel Dragonfly and pulled it out of his leg, wielding both blades. Yuri Stone's expression went from one of victory to horror. Leon twisted around, and slashed her regenerated leg off, which quickly began to regenerate, along with her arms. Leon Kennedy sliced off the newly regenerated arms, and more started to sprout. He twisted and spun around, hacking bits and pieces of the creature as it continued to spawn more appendages. The creature roared with pain and several tentacles and limbs began to sprout. Leon sliced the creature's head clean off, and a new one grew in its place. He sliced off another one, and another, and another...
Now the creature was laughing at Leon, watching the man furiously attempt to sever all of its rapidly regenerating limbs. It no longer resembled a human being, but some chaotic, twisted mess of arms, legs, tentacles, and heads.
Leon sliced the torso of the creature in half, sending its writhing mass of regenerating tissue flying off of the tank, leaving just a pair of legs walking around aimlessly until they finally collapsed. Leon then turned around and dashed for the tank hatch, and crawled inside, this time locking the hatch for good measure. He started up the tank and turned directly for the Main Gate.
Yuri survived and chased after the tank, moving with inhuman speed. It moved in front of the tank and smashed into a nearby building, removing key structural supports. The building collapsed to one side, landing on the tank and causing it to stall for a moment. Then the tentacled creature wrapped itself around the tank's main gun, and began trying to squeeze the metal so that the tank shell wouldn't fire. Leon re-started the tank and it drove forward, dragging a ton of concrete and debris with it, and the Yuri Transformation as well. Leon drove the tank within just a few hundred feet of the Main Gate. He aimed the main gun at the zombie commandos off in the distance, and fired the weapon.
The tank shell impacted Yuri stone and ripped her body from the tank. The shell penetrated her body, and the creature flew over the heads of the four survivors at the main gate. The writhing mass of Yuri, and the tank shell inside of her, landed just a few feet from the machine gun emplacements, zombie commandos wielding rocket launchers, and boxes of grenades and mines. The shell exploded upon impact, obliterating Yuri Stone and most of the zombie commandos in the process. The huge explosion which followed set off a chain reaction, which resulted in the annihilation of everything within 50 yards of the explosion.
Leon unlocked the tank hatch, as the four survivors ran toward the tank and crawled inside.
The zombie horde was just a few hundred feet behind them. There were thousands of them now... moving as one deadly swarm. Leon hit the accelerator and drove straight through the main gate, with the four survivors in tow. They locked the hatch and exited Dark Falls, heading out of the Quarantine zone, to the Decontamination area, where they would receive medical treatment.
It was over.
November 28th, 11:00 PM
The United States government orders the sterilization of Dark Falls. Conventional missiles are launched from sites in Wyoming, Utah, and elsewhere in Montana. The missiles reach their targets several minutes later, and Dark Falls is obliterated from the map.
*Leon's radio crackles to life.*
Ingrid Hunnigan: Leon, are you all right?
Leon Scott Kennedy: Yes, Hunnigan. I'll be fine.
Ingrid: Did you extract the civilians from the quarantine zone safely?
Leon: Yes. They are all alive. They will need to be treated, because the virus is nearing the second stage. But with treatment and observation, they could pull through.
Ingrid: Dark Falls is being sterilized as we speak. The nightmare is over. You did it, Leon!!!
Leon: I couldn't have done it without you. When this is all over, I want to take you out for dinner.
Ingrid: I wouldn't miss it for the world, Leon.
Leon: See you soon...
*the radio crackles silent*
