PIGGY- The Infection

Chapter 7: The Outpost

"So, this is where the signal came from.." Pony said.
"Let's go!" Zizzy exclaimed.
"Is anyone getting bad feelings about this?" Pony said.
Just as Pony said this, a soldier came out of the ground, and tried to stab Damon.
"How the heck did you get out of the ground? What were you even doing down there?" He asked rhetorically.
"Don't worry Damon, I'll take care of these burnt headed pigs." Zizzy said, stabbing the soldier and him falling into the hole in the ground.
"You do realise there's more holes, and more soldiers?"
"Of course, I'm just getting started." She said.
Instead of taking the stairs, Zizzy jumped onto the floor that was 4 feet height from the previous floor, and landed with one leg up and one on the ground.
"So, who wants to go first?" She asked them.
"So, what about you, don't you have to help me with the keys and locked doors?" Damon asked.
"Oh, if anything bothers you, give me a carrot and I'll be sure to help!" Pony said.
"Number 1: Why do you need a carrot? Zizzy helped me in the mall without her needing to give me anything. Number 2: The thing that is bothering me is that all you're gonna do is stand here!"
"I need carrots for energy, like the torcher behind you that's about to set you on fire."
"Wha..what torcher?"
Damon heard the sound of a button being clicked, so he knew exactly what Pony was talking about. Slowly he turned around, and he saw an elephant in a yellow suit with a black mask. He could tell the elephant was infected, due to his constant growling.
"Ok. Pony, when I say go, we're gonna run until
we're far away from him, ok?"
"Actually, I don't know if that's a good idea, you see animals like me and the uninfected act like humans, but if they're infected, they will act as their animal usually would, but more hostile, and they use weapons."
"What are you implying here Pony, and make it quick!"
"I'm implying that the infected run as fast as their animal would."
"Wait, so....AHHHHHHHHH!" Damon screamed, running away from the torcher as it followed behind him.
"What's going on with him?" Zizzy said, walk-in over to Pony."
"Aren't you meant to be dealing with the soldiers?"
"Yeah, but it got boring and I got rid of them."
"Wait, what do you mean you got rid of them?"
"Come, follow me." She said.
As they were walking up the stairs, they watched as Damon ran around the soldiers' sleeping base.
"Hey, maybe you could probably take care of him while we do everything?" Zizzy shouted to Damon.
"I HATE YOU GUYS!" Damon screamed.
"Don't worry, he doesn't mean it." She said.
"Do you think he'll be okay?" Pony asked.
Zizzy looked at Damon and the torcher, and tilted her head. She put her head back up, and looked at Pony.
"He'll be fine, if he's okay with losing a leg and an arm." She said.
"Why do you think he'll be okay with losing an arm and a leg?"
"Because humans rarely live if they lose an arm or a leg, both will be even worse though. I've researched it."
"Wait, why do you research that stuff? You know what, never mind."
"Okay, what ever you say." "So, look."
"You put a board over the holes?"
"Yeah."
"They'll be able to get through that Zizzy."
"No they won't." She put her foot on the board, and stomped twice. "Nothing getting through heeeeeeeee!" Zizzy screamed, falling into the hole, and her sword being left behind.
"Help me Pony! There's like ten of them down here!" She shouted.
"Put your arms up!" He shouted.
Zizzy did so, and Pony pulled her up.
"Thank you Pony, I was about to be cooked Zebra if it wasn't for you."
"Yeah, anything for you." Pony said.
"Huh?" She asked.
"Oh, nothing."
Zizzy heard exactly what Pony had said, but he never told her what he actually said. She was suspicious of Pony and had a strange thought.
What if.. no. He doesn't. He can't. Why her? There's nothing special about her. But it would explain some things, but at the same time, maybe she was just jumping to conclusions.
"Pony, do you..."
She looked up at Pony. She realised her hands were in his, and he was looking at her. Slowly, their heads came closer to each other. They closed their eyes, and..
"How could you leave me to deal with that psycho torcher!" Damon said.
"Oh, Damon. Where's the torcher?" Zizzy asked
"I pushed him into a hole and put a board on it."
"Oh, good." Pony said.
"And by the way, while you guys were.."
He looked at Zizzy's hand in Pony's.
"Whatever you were doing, I opened the door."
"Which door?"
"The massive one over there." He said, pointing over to the opened door.
"Oh, Pony let's go." Zizzy said, moving her hands out of Pony's, and walking to the door with Damon.
Pony sighed.

"This is where Mr.P is." Damon said.
"Are we ready to face whatever is in there?" Zizzy asked.
"Wait!" Georgie screamed, running towards them.
"Georgie! Aren't the sisters meant to be wat I ching you?" Pony asked.
"I convinced them to play a game of hide and seek."
"Why did you follow us, Georgie?" Damon asked.
"I wasn't to see the person who hurt my family."
"Well, you've attracted quite the crowd.." Pony said, looking at the amount of soldiers a few feet away from Georgie.
"Damon, take Georgie with you, me and Pony will hold them off." Zizzy said.
"Stay close to me Georgie, I'll protect you." Damon said.
The two walked through the door, leaving Zizzy and Pony behind.
"Zizzy, if we don't make it out of this, I just want to let you know..."
"It's okay Pony, I already know."

"I've become a disaster." Mr.P said. "I've tried to make things better, but they only ended up getting worse."
"Mr.P, we've come to stop your evil plans!" Damon said.
"It can't be..." Mr.P said. "You two... aren't real. My mind is playing tricks on me. The people I've let down are here to haunt me."
"What's he talking about?" Georgie asked.
"You two are dead! Leave me be!" Mr.P shouted, walking into the distance.
"We need to go after him." Damon said.
