The Boss

"You son of a bitch... I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!!!" I aim my gun at him when all four of his Agents aim back at me. "I suggest you drop your weapons or this might get ugly." Vazquez smiles sinisterly. "What do you want from us Vazquez?" Garcia growls. "Me? Oh I don't want anything from you. I just want the world dead." Vazquez laughs. "That's. Not. Gonna. Happen." Dom stares daggers at Vazquez. "Ah, you see, that's where you're wrong! In half an hour, I'll be launching nukes filled with the virus, bombing every continent, infecting the whole world!" He laughs maniacally. "How the hell did you get that virus? I thought the outbreak started with an explosion?" Kevin questions. "It did," He smiles, "Just not the way you think. It wasn't an alien fuel tank. It was a test! You see, I was getting tired of the stupidity in this country. I was getting fed up with the people who lived in it. I wanted them gone. So what did I do? I forced a team of scientists to create an virus bomb that would infect anyone who is near it! Once it was created and tested on many, MANY test subjects, I had the bomb planted in the White House and got the hell out of there. Once I was at a safe distance, I hit the red button. Infecting the entire eastern side of the US! Muahahahaha!!!" "You're a sick, sick fuck!" I snap at him. "I know!" He laughs and shoots each of his Agents in the head, killing them all. What the fuck is wrong with this dude?!

"Bad move Mr. President." I smile as my team and I raise our guns at him. "Is it now?" Vazquez hits a button that opens a few doors behind us. We turn around, our jaws simultaneously hitting the floor as 3 giant Crawlers walk out the doors. "Oh... Shit..." I can hear Vazquez laughing maniacally behind us. "Move!" Garcia shouts out, pushing Dom out of one of the Crawlers strikes. We all jump out the way, trying to avoid the Crawlers tail strikes. They try stabbing us like scorpions.

"Waste them!" We start firing away when I hear Jezebel scream. I turn around and see Vazquez getting near her. I feel the rage and adrenaline take over my body. I storm off towards their direction. "Get away from he-" BANG! There's a pain in my chest. "Christian!" I hear Jezze call out to me. I look down at my chest. There's a hole. Blood dripping out. I've been shot.

I fall to my knees. Vazquez walks over to me in slow motion laughing. I can hear Jezze crying. I can hear gunshots in the background. They sound blurry and very far away. I hold my chest to stop the bleeding. Vazquez kneels in front of me with that shit-eating grin of his. "Any last words, Lizard?" He asks me. I look him in the eyes. I can feel my life slipping though my fingers. "Yeah..." I respond. "Regeneration bitch!" I sock him a good one in the nose and quickly inject myself with the blue syringe. I can feel my body's tissue repairing itself. I stand up and stab Vazquez with the empty syringe. He cries in pain, "Ahh you mother fucker!" He stubbles back. I quickly inject myself with Stamina to regain my energy.

The energy I feel... it feels... so great! I feel as energized as ever! I lunge forward and stab him again with the empty syringe. "Take this you sick bastard!" I shout at him as I force the needle in as deep as I can get it. "AGHH!!!" He cries as he shoves me off him. I fall to the floor. He takes the needles out his neck and jumps on me, trying to stab me with them. "First I'm going to kill you! Then your friends!" He tries to stab me but I deflect his strike. "Then I'll bring you back to life so you can watch me have my way with your girl! Then kill her right in front of you!!!" He gives me a full-of-evil, smile. "That's. Not. Gonna happen!!!!!" I kick him off me and stand up. He stands up too and wipes the blood off his lip. "I'm going to teach you a little respect." I growl at him. "Bring it on, Lizard."

We run at each other, punching and blocking. Punching and dodging. You can feel the fury. It was radiating off of him, but there was no way I was going to let this bastard have his way with MY Jezze! Punch, punch, block. Wham! He hook punches me to my head. Ugh... Things getting blurry again... But no matter! I can't give up!

I punch him but he dodges. He punches me in the gut and I fall to my knees. "Ugh..." I moan. "Hah! Is that all you got? I'm surprised you made it this far to be honest. But I guess that's just the shot you took huh?" He mocks me. I can feel the stamina shot wearing off... "What's the matter? Getting tired? I'm still good to go!" He kneels in front of me once again. "Don't worry, I'll make sure to give your girl a great fucking when your dead!" Rage fills my veins. I uppercut this mother fucker right off his feet onto the floor. I step over him and pull out my handgun. I point it at his face. "Do it! Shoot me!" He grins, "Those nukes will be launching any minute now! And you don't have the code to stop them!" I cock my gun, "Give me the code." "Might as well kill me! Because I'm never giving it to you!" He laughs. "Shut the fuck up!" I shoot both his kneecaps out. Vazquez screams in pain. "AH YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!" That should keep him from moving.

I walk over to Jezze. "Christian..." she sobs. I get a little teary-eyed myself. "Jezze..." I hold her close, "I'm gonna get you out of here!" Once I untie her, she jumps into my arms. "I thought you were dead!" She sobs. "Heh," I laugh, "You know you can't get rid of me that easily!" I smile at her, and she smiles back. She closes her eyes and puckers her lips, I do the same. We move in for the kiss. "Um, sorry to interrupt..." Kevin interrupts, "But we need to stop those nukes!" "You guys killed those things already?!" I ask shockingly. "Two of them," Dom jumps in, "The third one is stunned for now." "So we need to act quickly!" Garcia points out.

We all run to the control pad. "Nukes ready to fire in T minus 1 minute." The computer warns. "What's the password?!" Dom panics. "I don't know Dom!" Garcia snaps at him. "45 seconds" "Shit shit shit!" "Try 'password'!" "Don't be stupid Kevin!" "30 seconds" "What do we put?!" "Again, I don't know!" "20 seconds" "'password1'!" "Shut up Kevin!" "10-9-8-" That's when it hits me. "7" I remember back to when we were gonna save Kevin and his team. "6" The code written in blood. "5" I know this. "4-3-" "THE PASSWORD IS '598/1732-R'!!!" "2" I quickly type it in and press 'enter'. "1... Password accepted. Launch terminated."

"You did it!!!" "Great job man!!!" "How did you know that?!" They ask me. "Well, back at the science building, that code was written on the wall in blood." "But how did you remember it?" Kevin asks me. "I have no idea dude." We all laugh.

"Self-destruct initiated. Building will be destroyed in T minus 5 minutes. Goodbye." The computer starts counting down. "Oh shit... We need to get out of here!" Dom shouts. "Run!" Garcia orders. We obey and start running. "Where do you think you're going?" Vazquez points his mini gun at us.
