"Yo dipstick, get your ass over here" Ghost shouted
"What do you want?' I replied drowsily. I checked the clock and found it was 3 in the morning " I'ts three in the morning you idiot... better be good"
I get up in a fairly drunken manner. I think back to last night and regret how much i had drank. I pull my pants on and walk to my friend. hes wearing jeans with millions of holes and is shirtless
"Look at this" was he replied. Really that was all that needed to be said. " hope your ready for a fight" he says as he cocks his 45 caliber pistol. He never left home without it, carried it in the front of his pants at all times. I still tell him regulary he will probably blow his manhood off but he still continues to do it. I guess it makes it easier to grab at in a rush or something.
I look down at the company of to-be intruders and grin wickedly. There was at least 20 of them, well armed and most likely well trained. Poor bastards were sent to a massacre. I grab my sword and my AR15 and start down the stairs. We were sleeping in an abandoned apartment building, and we chose to stay on the highest floor, to maximize protection from snipers. I am a huge part in a resistance against the U.N.. They started as the United States of America, but quickly spread in the western hemisphere. The technology they had was undefeatable, and within 3 years they conquered the world and renamed their-selves the United Nations to provoke a feeling of freedom, but the citizens knew they weren't. The self proclaimed dictator was some tool named " Deuce". He has billions of soldiers and rules by fear.
Finally we reached the bottom floor. the place reeked of rat crap and carcasses. The second part was partially my fault... I smile at the thought.
" come out with your h-hands up and you may have a q-q-quick and p-p-painless death" a shaky voice boomed from outside.
I chuckled and unsheathed my sword, with my AR still strapped to my back. I give ghost the signal to take the back exit and flank around. He departs without a sound.
"right here, ladies" i yell. i then quickly duck as the hail of gunfire i expected rains down hell. I hear murmurs asking questions like " is it dead?" and " I think i got it".
"you idiots suck at aiming. maybe you should just run like scared girls while you still can" Ghosts baritone voice booms from behind them. They all turn around, expecting an ambush, and i start running towards them, silent and stealthy as ever. the first 5 go down without a sound but the 6th cries out in pain. they turn around as my sword slashes across his throat. "Damn." i jump behind one of the cars they used to get here, bullets missing by mere centimeters. Ghosts shots ring out and i hear 4 bodies crumple. i sheathe my sword and grab my AR. It feels at home in my hand as I climb out of cover and shoot the remaining 10 soldiers in the forehead like nothing.
"well that was fun" i say. i look at him and see that he's looking at me weird. i look down at myself and see I'm covered in grime and other parts of the human internal systems"... and messy"
He laughs. " where do we go now? if they could send this platoon they could probably send many more. Only a matter of time before they wake up enough Augments to create a squad... and that will be painful."
I grimaced at the thought. Augments were human... once. They have been geneticaly modified to be faster, stronger, and just plain deadlier. Only a few were not in cryosleep- and those were on our side. they learned enough to know that Deuce's reign wouldnt last. Not with people like me. " we head underground." i say, knowing that he wont like the passage we are taking.
"crap." he replies. he turns to look for a sewer pothole and finds one. he opens it with a grimace as the smell wafts up " ladies first" he says
"haha" i say nervously. when the rebellion first started, we used the sewers alot. it was easy to lose any amount of soldiers down there, and it was narrow so the augments wouldnt fit. but Deuce decided to try to make a new toy- a giant mutant snakes. He made them bigger than a natural snake and made them insanely venomous. one bit would kill a man in 5 seconds. The venom was corrosive so it could spread, and the monsters could shoot it.
I jump down and land with a splash. there was a disturbing silence. the sound of the outside world was completely muffled by the concrete wall. the flowing water flew past me and i waited for ghost. he silently dropped down and we started walking. After a few minutes we started to hear noises. i pulled my sword and Ghost his knife, as it was to close quarters for his pistol. we waited, then when the noises stopped we started walking again. I heard Ghost gasp and i turned to look at him when i got grabbed. It wrapped its scaley tail around me and threw me. i got up and saw Ghost stab it. I quickly followed up his attack and nearly sliced the thing in half
" We gotta get out of here!" he screams
" No shit! i yelled back. " Up there! A manhole" we both climb up it as more snakes come. i close it and it lands with a thud.
Ghost starts laughing hysterically. i look up to see wjat hes laughing at, and see we are in the middle of a wiped zone. This is where Deuce rained hell down and wiped whole city sections that disobeyed. He then sent mutants ( half human half whatever the hell he decided to make that day) to wipe out the remaining population. there they resided till he called them back, but he normally didnt. they could eat nearly anything, so they never starved and could survive in the ruins for years.
"we are so screwed man! Fuck! Ghost yells. " We dont have a chance out here man. or down there."
" We WIILL get out of this. okay? Been through worse odds, whats an army of Mutants gonna do to us?" I reply.
" They are gonna tear us up and eat us."
" not if we outsmart them"
