The group of zombie slayers continued down the underground path, finally reaching a more well lit area containing a mine cart and some tracks that were at the moment, unusable. A few windows stood out, as well as the perk-a-cola Stamin-Up which filled the room with a golden light, but mostly the walls were lined with broken machinery.

"Yes!" Isabella shouted excitedly, giggling as she ran over to the familiar chalk outline on the wall. "M16 baby! Woohoo!"

Brianna rolled her eyes, loading her shotgun as the rest of the team moved towards yet another blocked hallway, hearing the groans of the undead that were beginning to swarm the area behind them. 

"Ve must hurry!" Richtofen said quickly, realizing the danger of staying in such an enclosed area as he moved to open the path ahead. He looked back momentarily to make sure the rest of his teammates were behind him as he accidentally glared at them, disturbed by the fact that he actually required their help. As much as he hated to admit it, he couldn't do this alone. He would need their... Assistance. 

For ze time being anyvay... He remembered, turning around and smirking to himself as lightning cleared the debris in front of them. With the pathway now open, everyone made their way into the next room, noticing the small waterfall on the wall to the right. 

Looks like some sort of drainage system... Isabella guessed while examining the metal grate the water was flowing into. I wonder where it's coming from though...?

A loud yell to her left made the dark haired woman jump as a zombie hissed, shoving it's rotting arms through the cracks in the barricades closest to her before beginning to tear them down. Isabella ran forward with her ballistics, stopping to press the button on the handle and watching as a blade shot forward, striking the zombie directly in the forehead. Smirking nervously while trying to calm her racing heart, she reloaded before reaching forward to grab the knife from the corpse.

"Ack! Bad demon! Bad!" Richtofen shouted, struggling as a zombie that had dropped through the dirt ceiling grabbed his arm unexpectedly, forcing him to fumble his weapon. Struggling with the unusually strong creature, he reached for his knife as the undead corpse hissed incredibly close to his face before a stream of bullets whizzed through the air, shattering the zombie's skull and splattering the doctor's face and uniform with blood. The zombie dropped to the ground as everyone turned to see Takeo aiming an AK74u before he lowered his new weapon with a rare grin on his face.

"I am not one to brag, but damn!" The Japanese warrior said confidently, reloading before turning and firing at more undead coming through the doorway.

"Oh, I'll have to remember your birthday zhis year..." Richtofen grumbled, wiping the crimson liquid from his face and brushing himself off where the zombie had touched him. Bending down to pick up the alien gun, he stumbled a bit as an explosion shook the room, making dust fall from the ceiling as Nikolai's laughter could be heard over the echo of the blast.

"Ba-boom!" He shouted, pulling the pin off another one of his grenades before tossing it into a window filled with the undead. The explosion covered the walls with blood as bits of zombies flew in every direction, causing the Russian soldier to crack up, coughing a bit from laughing so much. 

"Ugh, I think just inhaled some zombie..." He choked, ripping another grenade from his belt as he tossed it into the hallway the Imperial solder was covering, a mischievous grin on his face. 

"It is like fireworks show!" Nikolai laughed, thoroughly amused by the mess of carnage and gore. "Only with blood and zombies..." He continued, chuckling as he watched a legless zombie hiss as it crawled forward, completely missing the irritated glare the Japanese man was sending him.
