The Beauty Of Annihilation

Chapter 3 - Safe For Now

Ok I'm finally back to this one. Sorry about that.

Right let's start.

"Brian! Hirano! We'll try lead them away from you guys!" Takashi shouted as he ran passed the zombies with Saeko.

"We got you covered!" Hirano said keeping them off of the two.

Brian was too busy cutting and smashing. He was just fighting while giving his brain time to think of what to do. Hopping the wire seems like an obvious choice, but how long till they meet more of these things and have no vehicle to get away in?

He was exhausted, but he wasn't going to stop now. If he did he was dead. He stepped back and looked at everything around him. His vision was going blurry. Was he fighting that long? Or is he just killing a lot of these things too fast?

'How the fuck am I even alive still?' He thought as he went back in.

Saya was sitting on the back of the humvee. She was scared and had no idea what to do. She was panicking, rapidly breathing and not being able to focus.

She then looked to see Brian cut a zombies head off and stumble a bit as he was almost drained.

'Come on Saya! You need to help him or he'll die! Do you want that?' She asked herself.

Suddenly she saw an ammo clip being handed to her. She looked to see Alice holding it up to her.

"Thanks Alice. Ok." She got down again and shot one that was about to grab Brian as he was supporting himself with his SledgeSaw.

Speaking of his weapon, it was in poor condition. He was on his last saw blade, he was running low on fuel for it as he was on the last canister, but it was all he had. The Sledgehammer part of it was fucked completely. The head of it had broken into a zombies head and it was covered in blood after he stabbed one with the jagged edged wood from the handle.

"Brian! Please I know you're tired, but please get up!" Saya shouted.

She came over, shooting more of them, she went down and tried to help him up.

"Don't quit now!"

He looked at her as she helped him up. He tried to say something, but he didn't have the energy. It was hard for her to see that look in his eyes. She could see it, he wanted to fight and keep going, but he physically couldn't without completely forcing himself to.

"Alright, nevermind. You're too-"

She stopped when he suddenly broke the SledgeSaw saw in half. With the stick in one hand he rammed it into the top of a zombies head. He then turned to another zombie and forced the thing to the group, shoving his saw into its head with his body weight.

That was literally all of what he had left in him.

Hisashi came over and helped her carry him back over. They sat him down against the front of the humvee.

"Take it easy Brian. You've done plenty already." He grabbed the gun from Saya. "You look after him, I'll keep them away from you two."

Now it was just Hisashi, Rei and Hirano left to fight as Takashi and Saeko were up a flight of stairs. Takashi made noise to try and attract them, but it wasn't working.

Saya was looking around to try and find something to help them. Suddenly Brian tried to pull himself up.

"Brian stop! You can't keep going!" Saya  said trying to get him to rest.

"....... Fu...... Nee...... eed.... Keep, fight." He was barely able to speak coherently.

"No! I'm not letting you go out there and get yourself killed!" She said firmly.
