Humanity's Last Hope.

Chapter 19: Awakening.

"The zombies are almost dead here!" I shout while running to him. He coughs up a storm. "What's left? The Mutated Infected?" A group of 5 Berserkers takes out an entrance to an apartment complex. "Oh for fuck's sake! How are we gonna take them out?!" There are only 7 red spots left.

"Simple, you stand back and make sure nothing sneaks up on me, and I'll take care of these guys." He nods and I run to the Berserkers. The small embers crackle around my body. "Hello," I jump over them and grab one by his neck. "And goodbye!" I tear it's head off and throw it on the ground. Man, this fucking rocks! I got increased strength, increased speed, better vision, and spotting. I step back and a fist comes right where my face is. I grab it and tear it off. "Bleed for me, you bastard!" I hit it with its hand and kick it away. I jog to a destroyed car. There's 4 left here and there is 3 elsewhere. I look around, a chair is outside a nearby dumpster. I run there and tear a chair leg off.

"Come on!" One screams and charges towards me. The pavement cracks underneath its feet. I roll to the side and hit it in the back of the knee. It screams again and swings at me, I duck and hit it in the chest. It falls on one knee. I channel my power into my arm. "Die!" Its jaw snaps and their eyes pop. My chair leg breaks. "I will show you all true pain!"

30 Minutes Later.

The bodies of the Berserkers are all mangled, bone popping out of their bodies, faces damaged beyond recognition. I wipe the blood off my face and jog over to Ramirez. He smiles wearily, blood dripping down his face. There are no spots left, shouldn't I be waking up? I look back at Ramirez, a red line outlines him. "You got bitten, didn't you?" He nods, clutching his arm. "Yeah, I don't have long. Please kill me." He hands me a pistol. I remember discovering that I was one of the immune in the old bank. Maybe this version of me isn't immune. I aim and pull the trigger.

BANG!

I open my eyes and see that Evolver again. "well, that took longer then I expected." I get up and look around. Looks like its at least 4:30. "you survived the awakening of your power. now, there is a large group of infected down there. use your power to rescue the survivors there." He points southeast of here. "Got it."

10 Minutes Later.

I arrive at the area the Evolver pointed at. There is a large cube, I can hear the Infected's screams from inside, I bang on the cube. I turn around and a zombie is approaching. Perfect, a chance to test out my new powers. "Warrior!" Small embers surround me, I can feel increased strength throughout my body. "Ah, so that's how I do that." I punch it in the face. It goes flying into a wall, chunks of brick go flying. "Deactivate." The embers go away and my strength fades. An entrance opens up within the cube. I walk through and a large horde is awaiting me, the entrance closes. "Fuck."
