Code: Z.E.R.O. - The Outbreak

Act 6 Ch. 1

The Plan

"So what's the plan Iguana?" Jordon asks me. "Alright," I get everyone into a huddle, "I'll get its attention, and while it's attacking me, Dom will melt its legs with his Acid gun which will make it immobile. That's when Garcia will sneak up behind it, slicing off its tail so it can't do harm. That's when Jordon will deliver the final blow with his staff, which will kill it once and for all." "What about me?" Kevin jumps in. "Um, well do you have a weapon?" I ask him. "Did you really think I'd make weapons for all of you and not any for me?" Kevin reaches behind his lab coat and pulls out two laser pistols that are exact copies of each other. "Woah! Those are cool!" Dom exclaims. "How do they work?" Garcia asks. "Well they shoot lasers that are deadly to humans and normal walkers and Oozers, I'm not sure if it'll do too much damage to mutations." Kevin explains. "Well it's something," I tell him, "You can help me get its attention."

"Alright, does anyone have any questions on the plan?" I ask everybody. "Nope." "Uh-uh." "No." "Got it." I hear everybody answer. "Ok good," I reply, "But before we go out there, Garcia." I call over to him. "What?" He looks at me. I walk over to him and pull out a green syringe. "Here, you'll need to be agile to get behind it quickly and quietly." I hand him the syringe. "Don't think I'm quick enough huh?" He jokes, "I don't do to well with syringes," He hands it back, "You'll need to give it to me." I take the syringe in my hand, "Very well." I stick the needle into his left arm and inject him with it. "Ugh, you can feel it going in." He cringes. "How do you feel?" Kevin jumps in and asks. "Fast. My mind feels so clear!" Garcia replies. "Good, but we better hurry and get this done, the effects won't last long." Kevin warns us. "Ok then," I take the ID out of my pocket, "Let's go."

I scan the door and it opens. Kevin and I walk out first. "Hey ass wipe! We're out here in the open! Come and get us!" I challenge the giant Crawler. "Do you really think that'll wor-" We can hear footsteps coming towards us, heavy ones. "Here it comes." I warn. The giant Crawler walks out of the darkness towards our direction. "Fire!" The two of us start firing away at the overgrown experiment. As I'm firing, I take notice of Kevin's duel wield laser pistols. They fire blue lasers. It's so awesome!

"Now?" Dom calls out to me, bringing me back to reality. That syringe must be wearing off. "Yeah! Get into positions!" I order Dom and Garcia. Dom runs out, Garcia follows right after. Dom stands beside us while Garcia sneaks behind the monster. The monster groans while we shoot it. "Now Dom!" I give him the signal. "This is for my whole Division you overgrown bastard!!!" Dom shouts out as he shoots his Acid Gun. Sploosh! Perfect shot, all the Crawlers arms melt into goop. "It's immobile! Do it now!" I call out to Garcia. "Got it!" Garcia jumps up on its back and slices off its tail with one quick slash. It shrieks in pain from the loss of its arms and tail. "Hit the deck!" Jordon calls out from behind us. Garcia jumps off the Crawler and tucks and rolls behind a desk. Jordon charges up the shot. "Tell all your friends, 'Fuck you'!" He fires a large shot from his staff. It flies across the room and hits the Crawler. A loud shriek of pain is all we can hear as it turns to dust. It's dead.

We all stay silent for a moment, but that silence quickly turns to a celebration as they all run to me, creating a group hug, screaming their heads off. "Dude that was an amazing plan!" Dom congratulates me. "Yeah that was great!" Jordon jumps in. "You my friend, are one badass mofo!" Garcia compliments me as well. "It was my technology that helped you, but you put it to great use! Well done!" Kevin jumps in, killing a little, but I brush it off. "Thanks guys," I laugh scratching the back of my head, "But it wasn't just me, you all helped too!"

We all continue to celebrate all the way through the elevator ride up. We were so glad to finally be out of that hellhole. We all finally calm down when the elevator doors open. "We need to tell HQ about what we found down there," Jordon says seriously, "They need to know how deadly all the mutants and experiments are!" "Oh believe me. We know." I look out the elevator and see a very familiar man in a suit standing in front of me alongside two Division 5 Agents. "Mr. President?"
