"Aw, I bet poor Nikolai would get lost in here..." A deep voice chuckled behind Isabella as they both trudged through the maze slowly, following the Russian soldier who had decided to go first. 

Stumbling forward cautiously, Nikolai stopped as the bamboo walls descended again, cutting him off and forcing him to go a different way. Tank just continued to laugh at his friend's confused face every time this happened as even Isabella and Brianna cracked a smile, despite their situation.

"I think it was left... No, no, right! Oh god, I have trouble walking in straight line!" Said Russian mumbled while scratching his head. He looked up momentarily, sighing in relief when he saw day light once again.

"Well, that was slightly annoying..." Brianna muttered sarcastically as she exited the mud pit after the American soldier and her sister, Richtofen and Takeo following a few steps behind them. 

Wow, this place... It's beautiful... Isabella thought suddenly, a bit caught off guard when the path opened up to reveal a wooden bridge leading over to a large waterfall. I never thought I'd say that about any place with zombies...

"Check it out!" Dempsey shouted, interrupting Isabella's thoughts while jogging over to a familiar red perk machine. 

"Juggernog! Ooh-rah!" He yelled excitedly as he pressed the button on the front, frowning in confusion when it failed to light up or deliver his drink. Isabella sighed, smiling to herself as she watched the Juggernog obsessed Marine slam the machine with his fist once, trying to get it to turn on.

"Dempsey...?" The dark haired woman spoke up, getting his attention while strolling past him towards the bridge and the blue column of light erupting from the box close by. 

"Remember our objective?" She continued with a smirk on her face, leading the way across the bridge with Brianna close behind. Tank grunted, abandoning his favorite perk machine, for now, while he stepped across the bridge, following the two ladies in front of him. 

"I'm so bored of this quote, unquote objective that I can't even complain anymore..." He said lazily, yawning as he did so.

"What would we do if the power was already on...?" Nikolai wondered out loud as he noticed everyone looking at him with blank stares. 

"Yeah, I know, I know..." He said after a moment, waving his hand dismissively before continuing with a sigh. "Never going to happen..."

Isabella looked down over the side of the rickety looking bridge where a blue light was emerging from beneath the falls. 

"There it is!" She said excitedly, spying the wooden box and walking a bit faster down the path, Tank a few steps behind her, completely ready to exchange his pistol for something better. 

Taking the lead, Dempsey smirked once he noticed the chalk outline of an arrow on the wall as he approached a circular stone door that was blocking their path. Walking in front of the two women, he held his M14 at the ready before touching the door once as it rolled into the side of the now exposed mine tunnel. The lights on the ceiling barely illuminated the tight passageway ahead as some of the bulbs blinked on and off, a few of them not working at all. 

Here we go...

Tank led the way through the cave, the sound of rushing water getting louder as they went deeper towards the tunnel's exit. Finally, after everyone was finished taking an involuntary cold shower, they all emerged at the base of the waterfall. 

Isabella wiped the water from her eyes as she looked around, assessing the room they were currently in. One window. Another blocked doorway that looked like it could lead them deeper underground. The mystery box that was located right next to the window-
