Those Who Slay Together, Stay Together

FETCH ME THEIR SOULS

"Welcome to Kino Der Toten." Isabella said while silently musing to herself. 

Wow, they're all a lot taller than I thought they'd be... Or I'm just short. That's probably it... She realized, allowing her eyes to shift over to where Dempsey was standing. 

And Tank is so damn HOT-

The woman frowned momentarily, slapping her inner fan girl self while trying to will away the faint pink blush she could feel on her face as she looked around, the reality of things finally setting in. 

I can't have a crush on a video game character...

"How do you know who ve are?" Richtofen questioned, interrupting her thoughts as he eyed her suspiciously.

What are the odds... Dempsey wondered, unable to look away from the woman in front of him as he watched the doc interrogate her. He wasn't used to being around women since becoming stranded with this strange team after the zombies attacked. He shook his head slightly, pushing away unwanted memories as he glanced back up at the strange girl, waiting for her to answer Richtofen's question.

Isabella paled for a moment. She didn't think this far ahead. She couldn't just come out and tell them the truth... 

Yeah Isabella... Her inner voice began, Just tell them that you got sucked into your Xbox when lightning decided to rape your console and the Call of Duty game inside it! They won't think you're crazy or anything... It finished sarcastically.

"Um..." She mumbled, struggling to come up with a lie as she remembered the pictures in the hallway upstairs and got an idea. 

"Your portraits..." Isabella stated, hoping that would work. "Upstairs. They have your names on them." 

Nikolai, Takeo and Dempsey seemed to buy it, but she could tell the doctor wasn't fooled. She was about to try to change the subject, but was cut off by a familiar demonic voice...

"FETCH ME THEIR SOULS!" It screamed as a thick fog crept into the room, making it difficult to see.

"You don't want my soul, it probably tastes like vodka!" Nikolai said to the disembodied voice while envisioning his favorite beverage. "Mmmmm... Vodka."

Isabella knew what was about to happen as lightning began to strike randomly around the room. But she had a plan. 

"Takeo!" She said, taking everyone by surprise as she walked forward and handed him her ray gun. "Use this. It's a one hit kill on the dogs..."

He looked shocked and was about to say something and refuse her generous gift, when Isabella cut him off before he could. They didn't have time to be honorable right now. 

"Don't worry," Isabella said with a smile, sensing his discomfort. "I've got something better..."

What the fuck could be better than the ray gun? Dempsey wondered as he watched her pull out an M16 with strange red markings all over it. What the-

He didn't have time to think about her weapon anymore as a bolt of lightning struck the ground in front of him, summoning a hellhound that came charging his way. Two blasts from his shotgun put it down quickly.

"Fuck you Fido!" Tank yelled as he blasted another hellhound in the face, causing it to explode.

"Nein! My poor little accidents... STAY AVAY!" Richtofen shouted as three dogs raced towards him. He quickly emptied a clip into their heads, effectively silencing them all. The doctor laughed like a madman as he reloaded his weapon expertly while more bolts of lightning appeared as the sounds of gun fire and angry howling were all that could be heard.
