Everyone coming together as one. Tables, chairs, everything is being thrown to the door of the bunker. Blake screams as he throws a chair into a camera hanging from above. Jade Runs over with Ronnie trying to stop the damage. Karen would sneakily pick up a gun. Yang and Harvey help the wounded. Alexander sits with Sam trying to comfort him as his expression is terrified.

A day before.
Harvey would sit on her bottom bunk and look into the bag she was given. Clothes, Bath products, a pair of shoes, a map, and a note. The note would read "Meeting tomorrow 10 A.M. at lounge."
"Did you guys get the note too?" Harvey would ask looking at the clothes. Jade, Yang, and Karen would sit at the table.
"Yeah everyone did," Jade would say as she threw down a card"Uno!" She shouted and sat back with a satisfied sigh. Harvey rolled her eyes and sat back down.
"Whats wrong with her?" Jade whispers to Karen. Karen looked back and leaned towards Jade
"She's bad at making friends.. It takes something special to bond with her," Karen whispers to Jade.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While in the boys room.
"So that Harvey chick you guys dating?" Blake says looking for a book in his chest. Harvey's name caught Ronnie's attention.
"Engaged. Karen, Harvey and I have been friends since preschool," Ronnie says as he goes back to putting his clothes away. Blake would grab a sword and put it against his chest. Alexander peaks over his book and swing his leg over the bunk bed.
"Woah do you know how to use that?" Alexander says staring at Blake in amazement.
"Yeah, My mom taught me. She was a total bad ass," Blake looks over at Alexander and smiles warmly. "Can I call you Alex? or Al?"
"Either one works. We're gonna be stuck in here awhile, Can you teach me?" Alexander says excitedly
"Yeah of course, I'm pretty good at it," Blake says chuckling.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Next Day 9:30 A.M.
Harvey would get dressed in a pair of clean jeans, a green tank top, and her new shoes. Karen would brush through her hair and let it sit on her shoulders. Harvey puts her hair into a ponytail.
"I'm gonna head down to the lounge," Harvey says as she grabs her key and walks out of the room.
"How did you guys bond with her?" Jade says to Karen and Yang. Yang looks up after braiding her dark hair.
"Well.. I taught her some medical, She has a very weak stomach though," Yang says giving a chuckle. They both look to Karen.
"Her parents took me in when I was really little.. Uh they found me a house though," Karen says trying to give a slight smile and rubs her face. "Uh anyway we should head down.." Karen gets up and heads out the door.
"Is she okay? She seemed off," Jade says looking to Yang. Yang sighs and shakes her head.
"Her parents passed away when she was like nine, Her godparents took her in. Happened eleven years ago though, Just a touchy subject," Yang says and tries to smile. "Seriously though we should get going.
"Yeah lets head out," Jade says as she grabs her bag and heads out locking the door.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boys Room 9:50 A.M.
"Come on guys, We're gonna be late," Sam says trying to put on his shoes having difficulty with his broken arm. Alexander rushes over and helps him with his shoes.
"Alright lets go the pretty ladies are most likely waiting for us," Blake says as he chuckles. Ronnie smiles and grabs his key heading towards the door.
"Last one there is a rotten egg," Ronnie says as he sprints off. Blake quickly chases after him.
"Oh fuck you!" Blake yells as he runs. Alexander shakes his head and walks with Sam down to the lounge.
"Idiots, Don't worry i'll walk with you," Alexander says smiling. Sam looks up to him.
"Thank you," He says softly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lounge 10 A.M.
All the generals and officials would be standing up front. General Jordan in front. It seemed he always broke hard news to the soldiers. General Jordan fixed his shirt and hair before he spoke.
"As you all may know, You aren't leaving this place for a couple of months, maybe a year. But there is a catch, You will be in here alone. The officials and generals will all be leaving today, You must lead each other. Use what we have taught you be sa-," General Jordan's speak is cut off by the sound of a gun shot. A boy holds a pistol out in front of him. The bullet hit Jordan's chest and he falls forward holding onto his wound as he gasps for air rapidly. The generals up front pull out their guns and shoot at the boy, hitting others in the process. Nine people down. Ronnie grabs Harvey's hand and pulls her to the side, Same as Yang and Sam.
"Open the door. OPEN THE GOD DAMN DOOR!" One of the general's shouts through a radio. The bunker door opens, the officials and the generals run towards it. Leaving Jordan behind. The door shuts quickly as they run out. Harvey pushes Ronnie off of her and runs to help the wounded, pressing down on the wounds trying not to gag, Yang runs forward with her doing the same. Blake sprints to the door a chair in hand, he tries to slam it against the door.
"OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW DICK HEADS!" Blake screams as he slams the chair against the metal door. Others would follow him and slam against the door. Ronnie and Jade run towards the crowd and try to push them away from the door and each other. Screaming. Yelling. Fighting. Crying. Gun shot. A gun shot echos through the bunker. This time no one is hurt. Karen holds the pistol in the air.
"ENOUGH," Karen screams and everyone stops. She walks up to where Jordan once was. "They said we're alone now. Who knows what is so bad out there that they shoved us in here. But I know one thing, I am not letting anyone else die. We are going to step up and lead each other. Ourselves. If anyone has a problem with that. Then say something," She stops and looks around. No one steps forward or says a word they just look back and forth at each other. "Good. Now first things first.. We get rid of these body's or get them some help," Karen steps down and everyone walks forward to help the three people that are hanging onto life. Other people grab the six dead and take care of the bodies. Jade picks up a dead body with the help of Ronnie.
"As I said. Welcome to Hell," She says following the others.
