Those Who Slay Together, Stay Together

Welcome to the Jungle

Isabella was running for her life... Again. A horde of zombies trailing behind her, as she threw the empty gun she was carrying to the side furiously. 

"How could they leave me..." She kept repeating to herself desperately as she sprinted forward into the shadows. "How could they all just leave me like this?!" 

Tears slid down her face as she continued running, feeling the air in her lungs decrease as her stamina was coming to an end. The hungry moans of the zombies behind her were growing louder as she bolted forward frantically, scrambling through dark corridors that seemed to go on forever... 

Finally, a light at the end of the hallway flicked on, revealing an open door. Isabella rejoiced mentally as she used the last of her energy to make a mad dash for the only escape in sight. Just as she was about to jump through the opening, the door slammed shut as shocked green eyes met an all too familiar face behind the now closed escape route, grinning in satisfaction. 

Confusion, betrayal, anger... 

All those emotions rushed through Isabella momentarily as she stared through teary eyes at the face behind the glass seconds before the undead caught up with her. The last sounds she heard were her own desperate yells for help mixed with an insane cackling...

Isabella awoke suddenly from her nightmare to the sound of a monkey screeching in the distance as she opened her eyes slowly, the light from the sun blinding her temporarily. Struggling with the post teleportation nausea, she pushed herself up gradually, glancing at her teammates lying on the ground next to her, still passed out. 

Where the hell are we now...? She wondered, wiping the sweat from her forehead as she looked around, seeing nothing but decaying walls being invaded by the surrounding foliage. 

A fuckin' jungle? No way...

Hearing a groan behind her, her heart skipped a beat as she spun around quickly, breathing out a sigh of relief when she discovered it was just a certain Marine waking up. Brianna yawned, taking her time in sitting up as she looked around as well, a confused expression gracing her features before she turned towards Isabella and Dempsey.

"What is this place...?" The blonde woman wondered out loud as she stood up shakily, seeing Takeo and Richtofen stirring on the ground in front of her. 

The Imperial soldier looked much better, the sickly pale color now gone from his face as he tried to stand despite the dizzying effects caused by the teleporter. Richtofen brushed the dust from his uniform casually as he stood up, surveying the area as he strode over to a nearby soda machine in the center of what looked to be part of a temple or shrine of some sort.

The small blue drink dispenser was missing it's blue glow however, indicating that once again, they needed to turn on the power. Sighing, the doctor returned to their group, eyeing Nikolai, who was still snoring happily on the ground with an annoyed glare. Rolling his eyes, he ignored the Russian for now before turning his attention to Takeo who was inspecting an old totem pole-like statue.

"Ve're in an ancient temple und ze power is off..." Richtofen mused, chuckling a bit while gaining everyone's attention. "Zhat's a veird combo..."

"Wait, the power is out...?" Dempsey repeated, sounding slightly annoyed by that fact. "Does power even make sense in an ancient temple? Seriously, Treyarch...? SERIOUSLY?!"

Isabella snickered at the Marine's comment before she realized that once again, she was only armed with a simple pistol. No fair... She thought, crossing her arms while daydreaming about all the good times and amazing kills she had with the Zeus Cannon...
