FINALLY, I CAN FINISH THE LEFT 4 DEAD 2 ARC!!! WEEKS OF TIME, EFFORT, DETERMINATION AND EVEN MORE DETERMINATION HELPED ME GET THIS FAR. LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR HEROES AS THEY REACH THE ENDGAME OF THIS NIGHTMARE!!! LET'S MOVE ON TO OUR HEROES AGAIN FOR THE FINAL ACT!!!
I turned off the television in the safe room. We were all watching Super Bowl 52, the best one, in my personal opinion. I'm a fan of The Philadelphia Eagles, and what the New England Patriots did in the Super Bowl Of 2014 when the Patriots Deflategate allegation was held on them. Supposedly, Tom Brady has intentionally deflated the football below standard regulations of the Super Bowl. We were just watching through the highlights of the first Super Bowl win for the Eagles.
Luigi: So why are you a fan of the Eagles?
Me: Pennsylvania. I grew up there.
Luigi: Hometown team?
Me: Penn State Nittany Lions, but they're a college team, not NFL team.
Mario: Should we be going now?
Luigi: Where to, anyways? Military evacuation isn't possible anymore.
Meggy: There's a poster on the wall. Someone called Jimmy Gibbs, Junior.
I had an epiphany moment.
Me: That's it. That's how we'll get out of here.
Luigi: How exactly is a poster going to help us?
Me: I saw a few more of those around the mall. "Get your picture taken with Jimmy Gibbs and his stock car." That'll be the way to get out of here and away from... them.
Mario: You've gotta me confused. What do we do? How do we do? What is going on right now?
Me: Red, calm down. The car will be able to help us get out of here.
I walked over to the door and lifted the metal bar from its place and threw it away into a convenient trash can.
Me: Let's go.
We all hurriedly grabbed the rest of our stuff and headed out of the safe room. No infected blocked our path as we made it to an elevator that led downwards into the atrium. Once everyone was inside, I pushed the button for the bottom floor.
Meggy: So, military evacuation isn't happening. What now?
Me: Jimmy Gibbs Junior's stock car.
Luigi: Hopefully That thing works.
Me: It's a plan. We get Jimmy Gibbs stock car gassed up, we can haul a$$ out of here.
Mario: I understand that plan. Somewhat.
Meggy: Alright. It's a plan. Don't know if it's a GOOD plan, but it is a plan.
Me: Now they don't fill up gas tanks at car shows, so we need to find some gas.
Mario: Find gas to haul a$$.
Me: You're speaking my language, Red.
Luigi: Once those doors open, be ready to MOVE.
The doors slid open with a loud hiss, alerting a horde of infected towards us. There was a gas can right in front of the doors, so I grabbed it and ran to the car to gas it up. Within a few minutes, we had only two gas cans to grab to fill up the tank. One of them was on the first floor, the second one was on the third floor. I ordered Mario and Luigi to take the one on the first floor, so that left Meggy with me and the gas can on the third floor, which I had just started to make my way towards, climbing up the spiral stairs, shooting infected that blocked my path.
Meggy: A LITTLE HELP, ORANGE?!?
I looked over the railing and saw that a Jockey had jumped onto Meggy's back and pulled her over a ledge on the second floor. I broke a glass pane that was on the floor leading to the second floor (seriously, how stupid are you to use glass as tiling). I jumped from the scaffolding, ran over to the ledge that Meggy was holding on to (now by a thread), and grabbed her arm, pulling her up and on top of me. We both blushed. Hard.
Me: Y-You're welcome.
Meggy climbed off of me and jumped down to the first floor to help the Mario Brothers, leaving me to grab the nearby gas can. I jumped down to the first floor (making sure to roll, since I already learned that not bending your knees can cause traumatic pain) and ran to the stock car. I unscrewed the cap on the can and filled the tank with it.
Me: JUST ONE MORE!!!
Mario: A LITTLE HELP WOULD BE NICE!!!
I turned around and saw that a Charger had pinned Mario to the floor and slammed him into the ground, over and over again. Meggy and Luigi were trying their hardest to stop it, but they were puked on by a Boomer. I ran to them, shotgunning the Charger first, then the surrounding infected, and finally, the Boomer.
Me: Okay, Boomer. You're done.
Luigi: Not the time, Orange.
Me: Fine.
I grabbed the last gas can and ran back to the car, unscrewing the cap before I was anywhere near the car. I filled up the tank and shut the lid.
Me: TANK'S FULL!!! LET'S GO!!!
Everyone ran to the car and climbed inside, me In the driver's seat, Meggy in the passenger seat, and the Mario Brothers in the backseat. I punched the gas pedal and smashed through the atrium entrance, unintentionally hitting a few more infected.
Real Talk, Real World.
I punched SMG4 on the shoulder and laughed. We, just me and him, were in his editing room, looking over his final project, the Left 4 Dead 2 Dead Center arc.
Me: Golden.
SMG4: I know. It makes sense. You helped me with the layout.
Me: To be honest, I haven't played Left 4 Dead 2 in months.
SMG4: So why do you remember so much of Dead Center?
Me: It was the first one I finished. 56 minutes.
SMG4: It took you 56 minutes to complete that 4 part story?
Me: Like I said, it was the first time I beat it. I was young.
SMG4: Well, I can't blame you for that.
Me: It's one of your best works yet.
SMG4: What do you think is my best work?
Me: Arc-wise, I'd say Anime Arc. Not because it was depressing and had LITERALLY EVERYONE crying about Desti's death, but for the creativity. Sure, 12 parts of 20 minutes was a lot of editing on your part, but... yeah it wasn't bad because it wasn't creative, but it was bad because of the death of Desti. She didn't deserve it.
SMG4: I meant to say just a video.
Me: Ohh... right. There's a few I'm thinking about: If Mario Was In Portal, Mario's Boat Trip, The Bob Carnival, Christmas of 2017, WOTFI 2017, 2018, and 2019, and... I think that's it. Oh yeah, Little Penguin Lost. That was... a VERY interesting one.
SMG4: Everyone has done that before. I'm not so sure about WOTFI 2019. It felt like it was too short.
Me: Just keep the good work rolling off the conveyor belt.
FINALLY!!! THE LEFT 4 DEAD 2 ARC IS COMPLETED!!! THANK YOU FOR ENJOYING THIS 4 PART ARC!!! Stay Fresh!!!
