The two "MP"s Stop infront of a steel door, moving to each side the turn facing him. the sign above the door, marked Training ground 0-2-5. The metal door slides open without the slightest screech. He walks in looking between the rest of the people in the Armory. Noticing the other's are other UBCS members.
"Hello Zane" says Zane's Unit leader. Henry Bogges.
"Hey boss." He says nodding to him.
He looks at a man with a mullet, infuriated. He quikly approachs him, points to him.
"I'm not working with this F***er!"
"Good mornin to you to Zane." He says sarcastically with a light country accent. The other UBCS operatives turning to look at the two of them.
"And why not Zane?" His boss questions.
"Everytime im around him , I get shot! This time i got shot in the ass! Let me show ya."
Zane pulls down his fatigue pants. Showing a little of his ass crack, and a bullet wound in his ass cheek.
" Ahhhh Zane put that away, i know i've been to the zo before, but thats just nasty." Another of the men yell. A Giant of a man, of african american culture, Mathew ( Black ). Everyone in the room acts like their gonna throw up and turns around or, at least, covers their eyes. Laughing.
"Yeah, yeah" Zane says, pulling his pants back up.
"Anyway, We have our orders so listen up." Henry yells over his soldiers commotions
A deep voice echos from the intercom.
"Good morning men, And Zane."
"HEY!" He yells griting his teeth.
Zane was the youngest of all of them. The way to say it is that everyone looks at him like their younger brother . The naive one, fearless, courages, but still loveing of his brothers-in-Arms, s kinda stupid if you want to say. He was still treated as a kid amoung everyone.
"We believe we have new data to help you against any future threats, so your getting new gear. and being sent in now." The deep voice of their C.O. says as the intercom sounds across the armory.
A different metal door adjacent from the original door from which they enter, also opens without a screech. They all enter, Nelson, The mullet country man, Slaps zane over his head.
"You will be fitted with new helmets, courtesy of Umbrella" Henry begins another one of his long lectures/speeches.
They all stare at the helmet Henry holds with great appreciation.
"Finally they give us something than a weapon, some rations and clips." Zane sighs sarcastically amonst them.
They all approach their own personal lockers. Each having items they all enjoy. Henry, A picture of his .457 revolver shinning against a scarlet plush pillow, with pictures of his family. Nelson, A picture of his girlfriend in a cowgirl suit. Similar to Rebeccas
. Zane's, particular empty except for the whiped cream smeared across his locker, from their last prank. He opens it retreiving his Kevlar suit. Also similar to what the SWAT uses.
"Why do we have kevlar suits, I mean zombies can't fire guns at us?' Zane exclaims.
"Good question Zane," Again the voice echos over the Intercom. " The zombies cant shoot bullets at you, but when the try to bite you it stops their teeth, doesnt it?"
"Yeah Yeah i remember that day."
After they where all equip. they preceded to yet another room with shielded "cabnets"
The Metal slides slide up, as they all enter.
"Grab the helmets!" Henry instructed.
They all aproach the wall of futuristic helmets. ( the helmets from Doom 3 marines or the helmet from my Profile picture) The put on the helmets, personally adjusted to each one of them.
"I CANT SEE!" Zane yells walking around, arms streched out infront of him. bumping into the walls and other people.
" Take the helmet off for right now guys" Henry
The pulls their helmets off looking to zane and then Henry.
"On the underside of your helmets, push and hold the black button until you hear a beep" Intercom scientist.
They fiddles with their helmets until the all the dumb-asses push the button, hear the beep and place the helmets back onto their heads.
"SWEET" Zane yells. As the Helmet produces an image from the environment inside the helmet, despite the front of the helmet grey. ( Basically micro-camera's on the outside of the helmet, produce a picture for the operator to see on the inside of the helmet )
"Link up boys!" Intercom of the original man commands.
"Umm How?" Rings out a small man no bigger than Zane, scrawny, the units machine gunner, Briggs.
Henry sighs.
"On each of your helmets there are a series of buttons in the back, press they blue one"
Everyone does as ordered
"At this test, Your are just to survive for 30 minutes, get going boys." Intercom CO says.
The final metal door opens to a urban city setting. The perform a burst formation. Each moving to the wall and hugging up against it, aiming their weapons, across the broken down buildings and street fixtures.
"Keep moving." Henry orders. They all moves about the street keeping each other in view in the helmets mini-map blips of each other in color cordination, up in the top left hand corner.
The come to a T-juntion in the road.
"Ok Briggs, Nelson, and Mathew. Go right. Zane your with me." Henry points to each one of them, and their destination. Mathew nods.
"Lets go guys." Henry calls to Briggs and Nelson. The trio turn to the right side of the street and head down it.
"Lets go Zane" Henry. Zane would turn back to Henry from Nelson and Briggs and Mathew and nod, turning down to the other street following Henry.
As they continue down the broken down and empty "city". Zane goes on ahead into the remains of a building, searching as Henry searches another.
"Hey Henry, where are the zombies we were told about." Zane yells to henry, shifting a boulder amonst the ruble.
" Your rig.............." Henry gets cut off by gunfire from an adjoining street. " The hell?"
On the onscreen HUD. Henry brings up a bigger mini-map- showing Zanes blip moving to Henry, and Nelsons, Briggs, and Mathews blip getting brighter from them firing their guns. Along with several......hundred red dots moving to the three blips.
Henry's eyes grow wide with fear. As the three Blips get enclosed with The red dots. and as the blips of the other UBCS grow dim, and fade away one bye one.
"Henry?" Zane asks.
"Zane, I want you to get out of here. Umbrella wanted us for a test." henry orders to him over the helmets internal comm.
"How'd you know this?" Zane asks
"Im guessing. RUN ZANE!" Henry yells over to him. Zane see's his face plain as day. with the wrinkles and everything.
Zane nods as he begins to run furter along the street looking for an exit, running like a crazy man in fear of what the F*** is going on.
Henry runs back to where the UBCS soldiers were.
"Zane, i've always thought of you as a son." Henry
"And i've though of you as a dad" Zane.
A few seconds pass seming of as eternity.
"ZANE THEIR CRIMS....................." Henry tries to yell over gunfire, and screams of the monsters that killed Nelson, Briggs and Mathew, as the intercom built within the helmet goes silent.
Zane continues to run and run, knowing the mosters will be on his heels in seconds no matter how fast he runs. he runs into the end of the room where a door is, and tries to open the door.
"C'mon you B*****d, OPEN!" He yells within the helmet. He raises his reaon to the door shooting at the keypad. it fizzes and sparks out. He puts his fingers into the door's clawing it open. It slowly proturdes cracks from the door opening, as he soon bursts his way in. through the tiny space provided. He tries to close the door as the monsters approch. he closes the door right when the monsters ram the door, sounding a soft thud.
He breaths heavily, gasping for air. He begins to think. The hell was those things.He looks down the dark corridor.
"I wonder if this helmet has night vision?" He quietly asks himself. He hits ramdom switches until the visor shows everything illuminated in a blue, dull, blur.
" Well, i gotta get outta here. Umbrella must want me dead." He continues down the corrider, MP-5 ready. The smell of rotten food, and death, decay hits him in waves. He looks further down the hall, seeing two figures. He stealthly approches them, raising his gun to Ryans neck, pressing the barrel against him.
"Freeze" He commands to Ryan.
