The Remaining Few

The Red Dynasty

He opened his eyes and saw...death..and..chaos...all around him. He tried his best to get up and a zombie jumped over to him. He punched the zombie away so hard that its jaw was fractured. It was still alive but now it couldn't bite.

"Gideon?!?!? Gideon?!?!? You okay?!?" Yelled Commander Williamson as he was shaking Gideon to get his attention.
Gideon looked around till his head looked right next to him and he saw Commander Williamson.
"I'm...I'm okay." Said Gideon unsure of himself.

Commander Williamson grabbed an assault rifle and gave it to Gideon. He thought that Gideon's bolt action rifle was too slow. Gideon looked at the assault rifle and examined it without any explanation. He examined every single detail. From the base to the rifling.

A person came running towards him, yelling his name out and held his shoulders from both sides to see if he was okay.

"Hey...you okay there?"

Gideon looked up and saw that it was Adalia. She was covered in blood but it wasn't hers.

"Yeah...yeah I'm okay." Said Gideon as he loaded his assault rifle and was ready for war.

"Okay good, let's go." Said Adalia.

Gideon went with Adalia to the blown up balcony and saw some men shooting back. Gideon and Adalia took cover behind the broken down stone structures on the balcony.

"Who the fuck are they?" Asked Gideon in sudden shock.

"The Remaining Few have broken into the city. They're not in huge numbers it seems." Said Adalia.

Gideon looked at Adalia and wondered if she though the same.

"They broke into the city with an infected. They're not here for a fire fight." Said Gideon.

Adalia thought the same but needed someone else to think the same. They began shooting back. The Remaining Few were on the streets and some were on the upper balconies shooting at Gideon and Adalia's direction. Gideon was good at long range shooting but Adalia struggled a little bit. It's not like she didn't hit her targets but on average it would take her more shots to hit her target than Gideon does.

The other Marines joined the fire fight but just barely. Most of them were injured.

"So where were you all this time?" Gideon asked Adalia.

"Had some unfinished business with Lance. Motherfucker ratted me out." Said Adalia before nearly getting shot as the bullet got the stone structure.

Gideon shot some below but couldn't believe what he saw. People below were literally eating each other. There was blood everywhere. Gideon began to shoot at The Remaining Few for letting this happen. They stayed behind cover and Gideon got annoyed. The bullets caught the very wall they built behind the intruders. Gideon remembered the day Brentwood was getting rebuild. He won't let it fall.

Some of the remaining few went up the building in which Gideon and Adalia were and shot every marine that was catching a breather. Gideon and Adalia went inside and fought them off. None of the remaining few stood a chance against Gideon or Adalia.

One of them attempted to shoot Gideon but got shot in the head instead. The blood of the corpses started to spread all over the room as more and more corpses fell. Adalia and Gideon had disposed all of the remaining few inside the Command Center.
