Survive! Apocalypse 101

Chapter 15- Final Battle

Oh. We forgot about him.

"lets go!" David said. "No way we are going to outrun that thing here now" I said. "Lets just finish him once and for all."

"The others, pack up! We are leaving!" John said. "The others stay here and fight."

So we did. The Students from St. Jude loaded their weapons. The clip had an unusal green tag on it.

"What is that?" Jerome asked. "Oh, these are explosive rounds. We found em lying around the dead bodies. We learned that the hard way." John said.

We readied ourselves. This could be the last time we were probably seeing this world.

The Dead charged.

"OPEN FIRE!" John yelled. Explosive rounds blasted through them, mowing down the dead easily.

"Remember! We are supposed to protect them! " Hans yelled. "If anything gets near them, take em out!"

For a while, we held down our position while the others packed. But eventually, the explosive rounds ran empty, and we had to retreat.

"Get back! Into the bus!" John yelled.

The group slowly retreated back into the bus. David was manning the gun nest on the roof, picking off zombies who got near the group.

"Get them on the bus! I'll hold them off!" John told me. "Keep them safe for me"

"Got it, John. See ya on the other side" I said, patting his back "Nice knowing ya"

They got in the bus. David was too busy using the gun nest that Etheine had to drive.

"John bought us some time to escape" I said. "Lets get out while we still can"

"I am NOT losing another one!" Etheine said, coming down the bus.

"Dude! What are you doing?! that's suicide!" I yelled at him.

"If he's going down, im going down with him!" Etheine said, taking down one of the massive dead with a throw of a cleaver.

"Damnit Etheine!" I said, climbing down to help. We cant afford to lose two people at the same time.

The dead roared. It raced towards Etheine, whom it recognized immiediately.

"What are you doing here?" John said, taking down a dead.

"Helping, isnt it obvious enough?" I said.The battle raged on for minutes. When we kill a dead, it just gets replaced by another one.

"We cant hold this position any longer! Got anything that blows up?" Etheine said.

"The propane tank!" I said. "Jerome! Throw the propane tank and make sure it sticks on them!"

"Got it!" Jerome said, scrambling to find the tank.

Slowly, we were being forced back. "We cant set it off without blowing up everyone!" John said.

"Go" Etheine said. "They want me. Just go!"

"No we are not leaving you!" I said. "Jerome! I hope you have it right now!"

"Got it!" Jerome said, carrying the tanks with the help of the others.

"Throw the tanks! Were risking it!" I said.

The one thing you should do when you throw highly explosive propane tanks 10 feet from your only escape vehicle. Dont.

But we did it anyway.

Also, the thing you should not do is stick nails on it. Jerome yelled "Duck!" as they threw the tanks with nails, missing us by inches.

The nails did its job. It stuck on most of the giants but it seemed like it just bothered it like it was bitten by a fly.

"Get in!" I yelled at Etheine and John

When we got in, I told the two words that saved our lives. "FLOOR IT!"

The tires burned rubber and sped off into the sea of dead.

"Shoot it David!" I yelled at him.

David let the bullets loose. The tanks exploded. The shockwave rippled through the bus even though it was yards away.

Bits flew everywhere. A massive arm got stuck on the back window. David was pelted by the guts of the dead.

"And THATS how you escape in style!" Etheine said, plowing through the dead.

(Sorry if its a bit late. Alot of stuff to do at school. I didnt have enough time to publish a longer one. :P)
