City of Hell

Delta 1: *with every shot fired another zombie dies, standing my ground with a pile of brass at my feet I stand by my squad's side* Think of your family, think of your squad members, think of your country, fight for what you believe in, don't give up, keep fighting no matter what *keeps shooting*
*For what seemed like eternity an hour passed, the dead piled on the ground, shell casings litter the ground around the squad's feet, and the smell of gunpowder and death fill the air*
Delta 3: *groans in pain as I move to fire my pistol at a incoming zombie* I thought they'd be here already, what's taking them so long?
Delta 1: give them time *replaces my empty magazine with a loaded one* wait, I think I hear something
*Soldiers appear on the roof and starts to fire into the dead that are in the alley from above and engines from Humvees and a Bradley can be heard over the gunfire and they mow down the zombies at the entrance*
Delta 1: there's our ride, let's go men, 5 help 3, we'll cover you now let's get out of here *starts to move towards the Humvees with the squad*
Soldier at the Bradley: come on, let's move, into the Bradley quick *starts to provide cover fire for Delta* we need to move before more show up
Delta 1: *stops next to the soldier and let's my squad in the Bradley* bout time you showed up, *shoots a nearby zombie* the hell took you so long
Soldier: debris sir, we had to go on different roads since some are blocked and at least we showed up, now get quick *waits for Delta 1 to get in and goes to a Humvee once the Bradley door was shut*
*After a hour or so Delta and the rescue team arrive at command center and Delta 3 is rushed to the infirmary and squad goes to the mess hall except for Delta 1*
Delta 1: *goes to the command tent* sir, may I ask what's going on out there?
Commander: we have to rush to the center of the city to lab where it started, central wants us to find a cure or something to fight against these things, the infection is already spreading and we're on our own until we clear the area
Delta 1: but sir, the dead are highly concentrated in that area and my men are needing time to recover and I have one in the infirmary because the mortar team fired too early
Commander: I understand and I dealt with the mortar team, one of them panicked and dropped the ball, I'll give your men 3 hours to recover, that's all the time I can give, now go debrief your men
Delta 1: yes sir *salutes and leaves*
Delta 1: *3 hours later and I stand in front of my squad and the rest of the soldiers that will be assaulting the center of the city* alright men, as you know we have to go to the center of the city to the lab where it all started, I can't promise that every one of you will make it home but remember this, this is our home, our country, think about your family, think about the ones you love, fight to protect our home, fight by your brothers and sisters, now then, let's rise up to our country's time of need, rise up to our call, now load up and prepare for hell and I expect everyone of you to fight like hell too
*After the troops cheered they rush to the vehicles and with a thunderous roar of engines they start to charge to center killing any zombies along the way*
Driver: bumpy road huh sir
Delta 1: no shit it's bumpy, I'm not looking forward to this battle, even with 3 hours to rest my men are still worn out, but this is our duty, we have to fight
Driver: yes sir it is our duty, it's our duty to kick ass like a bunch of badasses *make a sharp turn and runs over a zombie*
Delta 1: your having fun with this huh *looks at the driver*
Driver: to be honest, a little bit but this our home so I'm determined to give my life fighting for it
Delta 1: we all are, just make sure we get there safe ok soldier
*After a couple of hours of driving through the city the assault force prepares to for the fight*
Delta 1: I want the Bradley's in front to provide cover while the Humvees stay in the rear, watch your fire, this won't be a easy fight, so stay frosty and watch each other's backs
*After the formation is set the assault force finally makes it to the center and confronts thousands of deads*
Driver: well were here and holy shit that's a lot of zombies
Delta 1: *talks on the radio* everyone unload and prepare to fight, don't be afraid even if we're outnumbered drastically, we can win, I have faith in you and so does your country and loved ones, now let's give these bastards hell, fire at will!!! *charges out of the Humvee with the other soldiers to join the fight as the Humvees roar past and starts to open fire*
*Bullets fly, shell casings rain, and the dead fall to never rise again, soldiers roars and battle cries fills sky, the battle for Spero has started*
Delta 1: *moves from cover to cover while shooting* my squad on my position *throws a grenade into the hoard and it explodes a couple of seconds later*
*Every minute felt like an hour and with the streets running red with carnage the zombie hoard starts to thin out with every bullet and explosion*
Delta 3: sir behind you *shoots the zombie in the head with my secondary and goes up to Delta 1*
Delta 1: *looks at Delta 3* you should be in the infirmary, why are you out here
Delta 3: I can't sit on my ass in a bed while you guys risk your life, this is my fight and duty too *shoots at another zombie*
Delta 1: your stubborn 3, and it's too late to go back, just be careful and stay near us, understand?
Delta 3: yes sir, *keeps shooting*
*After a couple of hours the fight intensifies and the assault force finally kills the deads with little casualties but it the reward was little, there was no cure and so the fight for humanity continues, this just the beginning, will humanity lose or win, that's up to those that choose to make a stand and fight or give up hope but for now The battle for Spero was a victory and gave everyone hope*
