A begin with no mercy

„That won't end well...“ was my first thought when I heard the Tank. The other three guys were already dead, I was low on ammo and had no Molotov with me. I had no choice but either to find a gas can or to run to the Saferoom. I was about to reload when I saw it: Trying to reconnect to server. “Son of a...”
I put off my headset and took a piss. The storm outside was very interfering, but could I do something about that?
After emptying myself, I set down at the PC and about to start again as a lightning nearly hit our street. That was a shock I needed to regain breath. Also my ears decided to take a break 'cause of the thunder. After everything became normal again and I could hear something, I tried to continue to find a new Match. A click on “Find Lobby” and it just was about waiting. Suddenly, another lightning hit in here around, my computer exploded, I just saw white, then black and then I must have lost conscious.
At the moment where I returned to the living, someone tried to wake me. “Hey, wake up” he said. “Let me take care of if it.” “Fine. But don't kill him, Francis.” “Francis? What the...” Before I could finish that thought, I saw stars but was also completely awake. With headache, I set up – somehow I was on a couch – and tried to figure out where I was. The first thing I saw was I well-known face – Zoey. “Welcome in the team, son” someone said from the left. It was Bill.
I beloved I was dreaming, but Francis' “help” was clearly to feel and the pain was real.
“It can't be...” But it was true: I was lying in the Saferoom of the Mercy Hospital at NM4, Francis just beat the shit out of me and next to me, Zoey sat.
“Nice, he's still alive. Does he talk also?” asked Francis. “Yeah, I actually can talk. And my head's gonna explode. Thanks a lot.” I stood up and tried not to fall over. “I guess, you're on the way to the rooftop.” “Just like you. What's your name by the way?” “Well...” What should I tell them? I was sitting at home just 10 minutes ago and they are just part of a game? I decided not to and simply introduced myself.
“Well, Daniel. 'Cause we want the same thing, I suggest you gonna join us.” That seemed to be the only way out of here. First of all, I tried to figure out, what mode and difficulty I was placed in. When I checked the four, it was clearly Coop, because they all still got their medkits, Zoey got a pipe-bomb, Louis – of course – had some pills and all of them got T2-weapons. I went to the weapons table, gabbed an auto-shotgun – just like in the game, the weapon got doubles after taking it -, then opened the first-aid-box and took one medkit. From the pistols, I took two because I didn't had one. Seems, not all rules of the game are true. “I'm ready so far. What about you?” asked Zoey. “Let's show those vampires-“ “ZOMBIES, Francis.” “Yeaaaah, Bill. Let's show 'em all.” Louis unlocked the door and I pulled the trigger to shoot the first zombie I saw. The recoil was worse then I expected but at least, the zombie got killed.
We could go move without any problems, but at the third floor I heard a Smoker. By listening I tried to figure out where this bastard was hiding. “Smoker ahead. Left, one floor below” I told them. Just on command Bill turned around at the correct direction and killed that guy before it could do anything. After that, there was a cloud in the hall we could look at from above. “Okay, understood. You're the hero” Francis graped.
I lowered my weapon and was about to say something, suddenly a Hunter pounced me from the stairs. “DANIEL!” Zoey shouted shocked and ran to me, wanted to shove away the Hunter. Meanwhile I tried to get my pistol and made it. Zoey rammed the Hunter of my body, I rolled over and shot the Hunter. Only the fifth shot hit but it was perfect. The Hunter was dead.
“Are you all right?” she asked. “I'm fine, thanks.”
“Hey, you two. Less flirt, more walk!” called Bill laughing. I didn't know what to say so I keep my mouth shut.
We went up the stairs to the fourth floor – we couldn't go higher anyway. “I hear a Witch. Lights off” whispered Louis. While reloading my shotgun I answered. “Who cares? She get crowned, get a door rammed into her back or simply ignored, depending where she's sitting.” As the others looked at me for this, I felt ashame.
A few meters ahead, we saw her. She set in the middle of the hallway in front of the elevator, not really nice. “So, what we do now?” Francis asked. “YOU come with me and we gonna fill this bitch with lead. THAT we gonna do now.” “Are you the commander now, huh?” “Nope, I've just experience. Just do it. Lights off, sneak behind her, open fire.”
It was exactly what we did. The Witch saw us very late, we could kill her easily. I pointed to the right “Ammunition!” It was placed on a small table next to a bed. The floor we went through was full of other beds, that seemed like the hospital staff tried to use every single inch for any patient. One room was sealed – and was quarantined once.
In front of the elevator, we regrouped, grabbed two molotovs on the bed and stared at the elevator.
“If we call it, we gonna make it fast to the roof” said Louis. “And when we call it, every fucking zombie in this hospital comes to us. But we have no choice” Zoey sighted. “I would like to hear any suggestion, if I don't need to climb up stairs again.” “Call elevator 'n kill everything what's movin'” suggested Francis. “More details, please.” “Call elevator, wait here and kill everything what's movin' until the elevator comes.”
Zoey moaned. “Great plan, Francis. We should try to reduce the amount of possible attackroutes. I would say, one waits here while the other get in position – like the bed over there, as example. The lone one calls the elevator and runs back to the group. Then we do Francis'... er... plan and when the coast seems clear we walk to the elevator without problems.”
“Not just beautiful but also smart. I'm in, go ahead” I said then.
While the four went in position, I equipped myself with a molotov and thought why I was here, but shacked that off my head and tried to concentrate to get out of here.
“Ready?” “Let's go.” I pressed the button, ran like hell and threw the molotov behind me into the floor from the side. When I reached the others, I took out my shotgun, turned around and crouched. Out of the fire, suddenly a Hunter came and pounced Louis. I reacted instantly and shoved the Hunter, Francis shot it.
It was pretty quiet, most zombies got burned by the fire. The elevator arrived and we run, Bill ahead, Francis was the last one. I was about to jump into the elevator a Boomer broke through the left wall and puked on me. “FUCK!” I shouted and cleared my face from the Boomerbile while I tried, to get as fast as possible into the elevator. I couldn't see anything and didn't know if the Boomer hit someone else. Seems not, but Francis jumped into the elevator and Zoey hit the button for the 28th floor. The one for the uppest floor, the 29th one, was broken.
“I can't believe how fast they are. That's total unfair. It's completely uncommon for zombies, they are not allowed to be so fast.” Aha! Zoeys monolog. I couldn't resist and had to answer. “Fast zombies are pretty common during the past years, especially at movies.” “But still. I call that zombie-bullshit.”
At the 28th floor we left. “Now up to the roof.”
Less then 5 meters ahead I could hear it already. A Tank. “Guys, I THINK we have a problem.” “I hate problems.”
We went back behind the elevator. “We need to take out that Tank. Louis, you got the molotov. Go ahead and burn it” said Francis. “Why me?” “I'll come with ya, Louis” answered Bill. “Zoey, you and Daniel go to the right side. Francis, you take care of the left.” “Okay. Come on, Daniel.”
We were sitting there, should at shoulder, waiting for Bill and Louis to come back together with a Tank. They came. With the Tank. And a Hunter. And a Horde. “I'll kill that Hunter, you take out the Horde. FRANCIS, OPEN FIRE AT THE TANK!” yelled Zoey. She managed to kill the Hunter pretty fast and supported Francis. But the Horde seemed to have no ending. Perhaps it was like that because I had nearly no experience with this weapon, I even hit Bill instead of the zombies.
The Tank on the other hand was absolutely not happy about our idea to abuse him as a barbecue and tried to throw the generator, or whatever this yellow-orange thing was, to us to smash us. Luckily, we were all together behind the elevator and shot with everything we had at the Tank. It died faster then I thought.
We continued to move. The whole floor was still under construction, the walls for the outside where missing completely. I didn't want to look down, but somehow I had to. At the first view I nearly fall over on my ass and Zoey giggled. “What's the matter, scared?”
I was about to answer as the tongue of a Smoker passed me and grabbed Zoey. She screamed and I wanted to help her but a Hunter pounced me. Behind me I could hear her. “Help! I don't wanna die this way! Guys! I could need a hand!” I saw her head disappearing and only the hands left on the edge. Goddammit, where were the other? No, no, no, no! I tried to free myself and somehow I could manage to do it. I stood up, shoot the Hunter, then the Smoker. “You gonna make it?” I asked Zoey when I helped her back inside. “Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks.” When she was back up, I looked into her eyes and touched her cheek. “I don't let you die, I promise.”
Behind me, I heard someone clear his throat and the guys were standing there lined up – and full of Boomerbile, what told us why they didn't come. “Oh, ehm... we're coming.”
The rest of the way to the Saferoom was without any event. We went in, closed the door and took a deep breath. Then Zoey patched me up – my duel with that Hunter hurt me pretty bad – and we took everything we could carry.
“Hope, we gonna find the pilot.” “If not, we gonna die with a great view on the city” Francis mend. We went up the stairs to the next floor what was also still under construction, checked some rooms but couldn't find anything but a bottle of pills. Just like in the game.
Inside of the elevator shaft, we climbed up to the roof which was very empty. Five or perhaps six zombies, that was all. “Somehow that's too easy.”
We went to the radio, what was inside the only building on this roof you could go inside, and called the pilot. After the short talk, Louis asked “Why should we prepare us? This guy seems to think, all hell break loose in a few minutes.”
We prepared us anyway, collected everything we could find and put it on the top of the roof. Similar how I did it in the game.
Zoey and me climbed on the building on the right and took the gas cans from there. “I dare you, don't break your promise, my friend” she reproved me.
After we prepared everything, I went to the radio. “Mercy Hospital at News Chopper 5, we're ready.” “Understood. I need around 15 minutes. You need to hold out until then. Over.” “Okay, folks, the chopper's on the way! Get ready!”
All five sitting on the roof, my hands start to sweat extremely, the M16 became more and more heavy, my heart was beating up to my head. Then I could hear them. There were hundred of them. We started to shoot and ignited the roof in our front.
Blood, body-parts, pieces of skulls and many more giblets flew through the air. A Hunter sneaked up from the stairs and pounced Louis but Francis could rescue him in seconds.
The zombies came without a break, my M16 was already out of ammunition. Luckily, the pistols were running on unlimited ammo as usual. I was about to reload when some meaty thing just passed my and headed for Bill. I began to shoot the Smoker, but Bill dropped down to the lower roof.
Suddenly, the flood of undead stopped. I knew instantly: A Tank is approaching. The pilot confirmed it. “News Chopper 5 at Mercy Hospital, planned arrival in 10 minutes. Over.”
“Tank is coming, watch my back!” I yelled, jumped down, run down the stairs, gabbed a autoshotgun, rushed through the door and on the small roof on the opposite side of the minigun. Two molotovs were still here.
“TANK AT HELIPORT!” shouted Francis and was about to shoot with the minigun. I threw the molotov, left the roof, switched the shotgun back to the M16, ran back over the stairs and went in position next to Louis on the upper roof.
“That Tank is dead” announced Bill, then he and Francis returned from the minigun back to us. The Tank died a bit too fast in my oppinion.
But now, it seemed the whole damn city came up to the roof, 'cause now you couldn't see the goddamn ground.
Zoey took out a pipebomb, threw it and we got rid of most of the zombies. “Yeah, that's the spirit” I said and shoved her slightly with my shoulder. A Boomer climbed up the ladder and exploded nearly instantly. Also Hunter and Smoker came rarely less then 5 meters to us.
And again, the flood of infected stopped. “Tank!” said Bill. Seems he recognized the pattern going on, too. This time, Louis ran on the other roof and Zoey manned the minigun while I covered her. The Tank climbed up on the right of Louis. “Go to hell!” shouted Francis and Zoey fired the minigun. Unfortunately, this time the Tank could safe itself fast enough and climbed up on our left. I grabbed Zoey and dragged her away to the left roof. We were lucky, the Tank burned out on the way and here was another molotov I took with me.
We went back to the minigun where the guys waited and then we could hear it: The chopper was here. I was goddamn happy. “We made it!” I yelled, hugged Zoey and kissed her. At the moment I realized what I just did, I let her go. “Sorry.” The guys were laughing, Zoey seemed to be shoked, I was ashame.
Instead of doing some smalltalk we went to the heliport. We burned the ramp, the chopper got in a stationary flight next to the heliport, we got inside and there was the next horde. The pilot closed the doors and we escaped.
We set down on the seats or the ground all together and I looked out of the window. The hospital became smaller and smaller. I turned away from the window and got a slap in my face. “That's for kissing me, you bastard!” Zoey hissed. Then she said “and that's for keep your promise”, came closer and kissed me.
The coughing of the pilot interrupted us.
“I'm sorry, but I don't feel that good.” When he said that my blood ran cold. I just realized: The goddamn chopper gonna crash!
“Hey, boy, what's up?” asked Bill. First, I didn't react at all but then I talked in a unbelievable speed. “Shit, shit, shit. Bill, can you fly such a thing?” “Well, I can handle it. At least, they go down all the time, don't they?” “Fine, take the control, hurry. Francis, I need a hand with the pilot.”
The poor guy didn't look good. We just helped him out of the seat, he passed out. “Dammit, what's wrong with him?” asked Louis. “He...” I started to explain but Francis cut me off. “That guy got bitten by one of theses vampires.” “ZOMBIES!” “Oh shit” Zoey gasped. We laid him down in the backside of the chopper, then Francis set down on the other seat next to Bill. Bill asked instantly “You can fly?” “Nope, just wanted to sit.” Somehow, I wasn't surprised.
The pilot woke up. “SHIT!” swore Zoey. The pilot was already a zombie it seems. He attacked us, hustled us, bit and scratched like crazy. In panic Zoey draw one of her pistols began to shoot, hit the head of the pilot but also the console of the chopper. Bill lost the control and we came down faster then we wanted to. In my memory, there was only wood below us. If we land there, we would be dead anyway.
“Get ready, ladies, we're about to land!” came from Francis. Less then 30 seconds later you could hear the scream of crushed metal, breaking of wood, collapsing walls and indefinable other sounds, adding up to one loud rumble. Then I passed out again.
