Those Who Slay Together, Stay Together

Now Serving Number 115

Samantha's disembodied voice chuckled in the distance, filling the Cosmodrome with the sound of her demonic laughter. 

"Fetch!" She hissed before giggling while watching Fluffy take off, running down the narrow corridor, followed by the rest of the zombies. A few undead stayed behind, making a meal out of their former comrades as Samantha watched the zombies fight over the flesh, laughing wickedly to herself at the gruesome scene. 

"Three down, SIX TO GO! Hehehe!"

...

After a few seconds of weightlessness, the portal opened up, filling Isabella's eyes with purple light as she tumbled out of the black hole, landing on top of the Marine who had come through seconds before her. 

Looking around she saw they were in the starting room again, right under the giant Centrifuge actually. The Gersch device closed behind them as Isabella panicked, wondering where the others where. 

It's not the best time to be split up considering there's a giant zombie dog roaming around that wants to maul us all...

"Ahem." A deep voice underneath her said, startling the woman as she looked down, realizing she was still on top of Dempsey, face to face with him now actually. He smirked up at her, his trademark cocky grin on his face as he looked her over, making her blush as she frowned while moving to get off him. 

Sexy bastard, I'm still mad at yo-

A growl from behind Isabella made her jump, as she got up quickly, raising her AUG with one hand as she helped the Marine to his feet with the other. Dempsey frowned, getting his serious 'let's kill freakbags' face on while he reloaded his Lamentation, as they both observed the remaining zombies coming through the top door and stumbling down the stairs.

"Shit, what now?" Dempsey asked while aiming his gun and taking out a few undead that were sprinting towards them, grinning confidently as they fell to the ground from multiple shots the head.

"I- I don't know..." Isabella stuttered, shaking a bit as she fired at a few zombies, missing completely. 

What the fuck is wrong with me? She thought, panicking as she felt her stomach constrict. Suddenly she began to feel dizzy as she watched colorful dots dancing in her field of vision. Hell no, I cannot pass out right now... 

An image of Hanna and Shiyla flashed before her eyes, seemingly waking her up from an impending dream. No, I can do this... For Hanna and Shiyla... Isabella thought desperately, summoning all the strength she had to raise her gun again and pull the trigger, this time scoring a head shot herself.

"That's more like it baby! Oorah!" Dempsey cheered, smirking and looking her way before nodding once in approval.

Isabella blushed furiously, trying her best to fight back a smile. "Just focus on the zombies, would ya?" She said hurriedly, firing into an oncoming crowd and downing several, stopping only when she had to reload.

"Whatever you say, doll face." He practically purred, winking at her and making her cheeks turn redder, if that was even possible. Backing up to where he was standing, near the Centrifuge, Isabella pulled an extra clip out of her pack, discarding the empty one before shoving the full one into her AUG, ready to slaughter more undead. 

I wonder where Fluffy is... She asked herself, looking up as she noticed another small group of zombies heading towards them.

"Now serving number one-fifteen!" Dempsey shouted, chuckling to himself at his own joke and firing into the crowd madly as Isabella raised her gun to assist him.
