21 Days!? aww man i though it was 2 yrs 364 days!!!

I?m sorry for the wait guys. I?ve been busy with the mods and work. Anyway

Kaufman considered the two routes but decided they were both too risky for the squad. He continued on into the quiet base and eventually came to what looked like a landing field. There were the remains of a burnt out chopper in the centre and shipping crates around the outsides making an impassable wall. He then set his eyes on a body in the centre of the landing field, blood still seeping from the neat hole in the eye. It was a metrocop and it didn?t look like he had been there very long. Kaufman went to approach the body but suddenly froze on the spot. Something has just moved inside the chopper. He darted back behind the wall just as a chunk of concrete was smashed out of the wall inches from his face.

He listened as somebody shuffled out of the chopper and a set of footsteps ran towards the corner. He took out the wet screwdriver and got ready the jump on whoever passed him. He waited and nothing happened. He peered round the corner to see the butt of a rifle. It smashed him in the face and cracked the glass lenses of his mask.

He opened his eyes. He was lying on the floor facing up and 2 men and a woman were staring back at him. The young woman bent down and lifted his head off of the floor.

?Sorry Kaufman? she said.

?What?? yelled one of the men ?Amber? You know this traitor??

?Keep your fucking voice down.? Said the other.

?He isn?t a real metrocop? said the woman. ?He?s an agent like me. This is the sergeant I told you about. The one who taught me how to use a rifle.?

?It?s captain.? Said Kaufman, wiping blood from his lip.

?Hey? You got a promotion?? she said ?Where?s your rifle?

?I lost it when the combine raided the warehouses. That?s where I got the uniform and my crossbow.?

?Enough small talk.? Said the first man ?Why the hell are you wondering around a combine base??

?I?m finding a through route for my squad.? Kaufman turned to him as he climbed to his feet. He pointed to the hill behind them ?They?re waiting out on that hill.?

?Well we?ve covered half of it for you but we?re headed the other way back to the city. Your best bet would be to climb those crates. We got over using a ladder on the other side. You can pull it over so the others can climb up.?

?Thanks.? Kaufman said. ?Good luck. I?ll head back to the hill with you.?

Tracking back through the base was a lot easier with all this firepower now behind them. However this was just a means of feeling safe and the best option was still to go stealthily. Passing the APC that Kaufman had stuffed his victim in and around the back of the crates. Kaufman picked up his crossbow and the four climbed down the ladder and crossed the river to the hill.

?Thanks.? Said Kaufman he then called up the hill ?Hey guys! We?ve got a way through.?

The men poured over the top of the hill and dropped into the riverbed. Some men lost their footing on the way down and landed smack down on their faces. Fitz was one of them. One of the resistance soldiers walked over and helped him to his feet.

?Thanks.? Said Fitz and then he froze. ?Shit! Dan??

?No way!? Dan was smiling like a Cheshire cat. ?Bloody hell! Gregory!?

The other man turned around.

?Fitz!? Gregory was just as surprised and happy. ?We thought you were d-?

?Quiet.? Dan interrupted. ?So what are you guys up to??

?We?re headed to Eli?s to help out with this assault.?

?Ah yeah we heard about that.? Amber said ?Unbelievable timing. We were taken there by some resistance guys when they found us.?

?Found you?? Mark butted in

?Yeah, me Dan and Gregory all got attacked by a horde of crabs and zombies. Completely wiped out. We had no ammo and our squad was almost totalled. Then a truck pulled up besides the road where we were sitting and took us to Eli?s. We rested, stocked up on ammo and left. The combine stormed it just after we left.?

?Spot of damn good luck.? Said Gregory

?Look from what we?ve heard there isn?t much left of Eli?s labs. Hell even Freeman?s vanished now. Rumour has he?s gone to Ravenholm.? Dan said

?Which means he?s a dead man.? said Gregory

?The point is that there isn?t much point heading to Eli?s labs. There?s nothing there for you except death.? Amber added.
?Well,? Kaufman said, not ready to accept that there was no hope in his mission ?I?m still going on to the labs. Come on guys.?

Dan pulled Fitz and Mark to one side. He looked over to Kaufman who was pacing, waiting for his men to follow.

?Are you really going to let that guy lead you to your death?? Dan asked

?He seems to know what he?s doing.? Said Fitz ?Besides his rank overrules yours Dan.?

?News flash Fitz,? Dan sounded pissed ?I?ve been promoted by Colonel Odessa Cubage himself. Well over a radio at least.?

?Come on.? Said Fitz ?You know as well as I that Cubage is no more a soldier than he is British. The Hall brothers are British and they know he?s a fake.?

?I don?t care. I?m a Captain now. Mark. What do you want to do??

?Well??

A) ??I?m going back to City 17 with Dan?

B) ??I?m carrying on to Eli?s place with Kaufman?

C) ??I don?t want to do either. What else is there??

A, freemans in ravenholm, sending bthe squad to Eli's place probably covered in combine and THEN following freeman through ravenholm is a bad idea. Probably get killed. Back to city 17 is what i recommend

A) they'll meet up with freeman when he leaves ravenholm... but then... Dan did seem awful persistant to get back to City 17... he might be lying.. they may have defeated the combine at Eli's... maybe he's a traitor... oh well.. stick with A...

C)

Is this it? 3 votes. hmmm...

People be loosing interest. I'd better get this going again sharpish!

A) he should go back to the city and prepare for the soon to come revolution

OMG. This thread is way too funny for words. I need to d/l Zoner's HL tools for HL:Manifestation so I thought "Hey! I can upload my story!"

So...(brace yourself and try not to pee)...here it is.

Chapter 7
?Hell in all directions.?

It was time for Mark to make the decision. Kaufman wasn?t the kind of guy you could follow into the unknown. He was a mysterious character and came off as too much of a risk taker. Mark had been under Dan?s command before and he was much cooler about his actions. Mark thought back to the advice Dan had given him when they were pinned by the gunship back in the city. It had only been a day ago but it seemed like forever.

?I?m going with Dan.? Mark said, looking Kaufman dead in the face.

?Fine.? Kaufman shrugged. ?Come on people, lets move out.?

?Actually I?m going with Dan too.? said Fitz. Suddenly everyone else stopped and turned to Fitz. These boys all felt the same about Kaufman. They had all been discussing his leadership in comparison to that of Fitz while he was in the combine base. He just didn?t have the level of respect.

?Alright.? Said Kaufman ?Fine! It?s like that? Fuck you all then!?

?Oh come on.? Said Dan ?I need a squad leader anyway. You can be lieutenant.?

?Fuck you!? Kaufman spun around giving the squad the finger. ?I?ll go on my own.?

As he turned back to the outpost to walk away a huge explosion rumbled the ground beneath the men?s feet. A huge tripod like creature burst up from behind the hill, blinding the men with a nose-mounted floodlight. Kaufman turned and pelted towards the squad. Then the cry went out. A cry that would be heard many more times and would send a chill down the spine of even the most hardened soldiers.

?STRIDER!?

The beast stood upright and its abdomen slung out, aiming towards the squad. Its incredible charging force bent the light around and into it. Kaufman had been the only one to see this before. He knew the incredible force that was about to be released. He knew it all to well.

?OH FUCK!? He screamed. The squad was desperately running, trying to reach the ridge of the hill before the particle cannon released. Mark turned back to see the blast. A deafening bang rang through his ears as a blue beam of light ripped the air past his right ear. The explosion sent him hurtling onto his back and all he saw was a blinding white light. He thought he was dead for a second or two, until the sky came back into focus. He couldn?t move anything except for his head. He was almost totally paralysed. He turned his head to the left to see Kaufman facing him. His eyes were staring blankly into the grass and his face was covered in blood. His stomach had been blasted wide open and his guts had been spread across the grass. Mark didn?t want to think about it and simply looked away. He turned his head right, so as not to look at the horror in Kaufman?s dead face only to see another body even more worse off. The ribcage and contained organs were splattered across the ground and the remaining arm was completely mangled and raised, holding a wildly chattering radio. Mark almost stopped himself from looking at the face. He didn?t want to know who this was but he had to. He looked at the remains of the face. The skin had been torn away making it unrecognisable. However wasn?t Fitz and it wasn?t Dan. He heard their voices just behind him.

?FUCK!? yelled Dan.

?Where the fuck is your radio?? Fitz asked frantically.

?Gregory has it.? Amber shouted.

?Ok. Where the fuck is Gregory?? Dan was looking around.

?All over the fucking place.? The voices were getting closer. Fitz dove to the ground next to the remains of Gregory. Mark struggled and lifted his arm. Fitz fell back and yelled. ?Holy shit! Mark?s still alive.?

?Bring him up here.? Dan yelled as the strider continued to pelt the landscape with its rail gun. Mark felt himself being dragged by the shoulders. Suddenly he was behind a rock, which was being used as a barricade against the striders rail gunfire. Amber was leaning over him and applying some form of first aid.

?What are you doing?? Mark was still numb ?Where am I hit??

?I?m just looking at your shoulder.? She said. ?You landed on it awkwardly. I think it?s dislocated.?

?Hey Amber!? Dan shouted across the field. ?What?s the frequency of the Halls??

?They?re on Channel 5.? She shouted back while cracking Marks shoulder back into place. Mark felt the control coming back to his body. He scrambled to his feet and looked up at the towering strider.

?What in the Hell?s name is that?? he yelled to Amber.

?A really nasty creature that?s going to blow you to bits if you sit there doing nothing!? She peered over the edge and shot 3 rounds at the lumbering beast. It turned to her and fired. The shots bounced off the rock next to her head. She dived back down behind the cover. Mark was looking around for his machine gun.

?Damn it!? he yelled, ?Where?s all my stuff??

?Probably got vaporised by that strider!? Yelled Dan and he went back to tuning the radio. ?Amber, give him your revolver.?

?Ok.? she said, reaching around to the back of her belt. ?I want it back though.?

She handed the 357 to Mark. It was as cold as ice in his hands and a lot heavier than he thought it would be. He leaned up over the rock and fired a shot at the strider. It also appeared to give more kickback than he thought it would. He fell back and landed on his backside. He looked over and Amber was laughing to herself. She seemed to be able to keep herself cool even during combat. If you took a picture of her face at that moment and passed it around later on, anyone would think that she was just standing there, almost posing. She hadn?t flinched or panicked once.

?Hey,? Mark was curious ?How do you stay so calm like that??

?What?? She leaned over and blasted the strider with two more shots. ?I don?t know.?

?Hey guys!? Dan was shouting into the radio ?You?re closer than I thought! Follow the gunfire!?

?Who is he talking to anyway?? Mark asked Fitz

?The Halls.? Fitz replied

?What are the Halls by the way. Is it some sort of headquarters??

?What?? Fitz laughed, ?No they?re two English brothers. They have a garage near City 17. Well, they had a garage. Now it?s just a safe house filled with heavy weaponry.?

Suddenly there was a whistling noise behind the strider. A rocket smashed into the back end of the creature and sent it staggering forward. It began to turn on the spot to look behind and another rocket took out the abdomen cannon. It bellowed smoke from a hole in the side as it dangled uselessly underneath. It began firing across the field as Dan?s radio crackled into life.

?Shit! Dan! Send one of your guys over. We need a third set of hands for this other launcher we?ve got.?

?Roger that.? Said Dan looking to Mark ?I?ll send someone over. I?ll need the rest to give covering fire.?

A) Send Mark

B) Send Fitz

C) Send Amber

D) Send Dan

Hey? Anyone still reading this?

I say C, If Amber can keep her cool, then 1)she isnt going to freak out when she runs across and get killed and 2)If she's cool then she can think properly on how to cross over.
