Keira watched as Hog opened fire on the zombies. The gun was large, and even though Hog was strong enough to hold it still as it bucked violently, she could see the strain it was having on him.

"Put it down, don't try to impress me, you might pull out some of your stitches. " she said, before sighting down her Rifle. The gun seemed to be heavily effected by her every breath, and the sights swayed from left to right. Keira concentrated, and breathed out before firing. A zombies head popped like a water melon.

"Score!"

Hog opened fire again, a stream of bullets punching up clumps of mud and grass as its fire traced towards the incoming horde.

"Lets get down to business" he mumbled.

Meanwhile in the standoff in the living room the echoes of gunfire drifted down. Whatever had kept the people oblivious to the incoming horde was going to ware off fast.

humbug?

OOC: I think the shadow thing will have to be finished quickly. Dark put us in one hell of a mess, and is now trying to get us all killed I suggest you disarm him quickly and maybe knock him out. Or if you feel merciful at least point him in the direction of the zombies. An' get MM in so he can look after One eye. An' maybe, just maybe we'll deal with Phoenix after the horde?

OOC: He's suffering from amnesia, he has radiation poisoning (now that the ton of drugs you pumped in him has worn off) and all you wanna do is knock him out/disarm him.

Nobody thought of trying to answer his questions yet?

Tombstone moved slowly towards One Eye,he could see the old biker had taken the round Shadow had fired in the upper part of his shoulder near the collar bone,One Eye was hurt..bleeding...but the old bastard was still alive and kicking.

" Son..what the feth did ya wanna shoot me for?" the old biker asked Shadow in a conversational manner.

Shadow turned his pistol on One Eye,surprised to see the man wasn't dead.

" What the feth is going on here!!" Shadow bellowed

" Simmer down son" One Eye said trough obvious pain " I don't want ya ta start shooting again...especially when ya got your gun aimed at me."

Shadow stared quizzically at the old biker,his head at a slight angle " Old man you better tell me what the feth is going on...or I'm going to shoot you in the face."

" Well I wouldn't want ya to spoil my good looks" One Eye said with a snort, which caused him to wince in pain " Your names Shadow...your among friends..you got hurt bad out on the road..Tombstone over there brought ya here and we tried ta fix ya up...ya was out cold...but apparently ya got up and decided I needed a bullet in my shoulder...and here we are." One Eye smiled at Shadow. " Oh and there are about a hundred hungry zombies outside trying to get in to eat us ...I think that covers everything."

Shadow blinked at the old biker.

"yeah yeah crazy gak I know" One Eye shrugged and winced in pain again. " Stone help me the feth up."

Tombstone walked over to One Eye and slowly helped him to his feet.

" Now get me over to Medicine Man..I've been shot." One Eye giggled ,he looked at Shadow " You better come with us son..let old Medicine Man check yer head...looks like ya might have popped some stitches."

Shadow stared at the bikers,looking confused.

Tombstone looked down at Shadow " C'mon soldier boy..let's get your empty head checked."

Shadow's face seemed to go blank for a moment,then he regained focus..." Soldier boy?"

" Yeah..you..soilder boy." Tombstone said.

Shadow seemed to drift in thought again.

Tombstone took the moment to give orders to the rest " pour fire on the zeds out there guys..keep 'em off the house...Halon...watch Phoenix...Pup...keep loading the van ...Daisy with me...help Shadow."

The young woman went to Shadow,she moved cautiously and spoke to him calming " Shadow..please let us help you...you'll be ok..."

Shadow cautiously got to his feet and allowed Daisy to assist him in returning to Medicine Man.

As the four moved down the hallway,Phoenix reached into his coat pocket and pressed the send button on his phone.

What about Jennifer?

I guess she's sided with phoenix.

"Great," Halon thought "now its my turn to watch Mr. Evil."

Halon kept his USP aimed at Mr. Phoenix and watched for any twitches of him going for a weapon.

"Put your gun on the table missy." Halon said to Jennifer.

She had obviously sided with her father in all of this and she also obviously had a gun. That wasn't any good Halon thought to himself.

"So, Tomb puts you in charge and now the power goes to your head huh, how cute." Jennifer sneered.

"Whatever, just put the safety on and toss it on the table now." Halon said with his weapon still trained on Phoenix.

He saw Jennifer take the gun and saw her touch the side, hopefully engaging the safety and then she tossed it on the table,the gun slid and ended up falling off the other side landing with a thud.

"Now both of you on the couch." Halon said.

Having them both in the same relative location would make it easier for him to watch them, if this was a security drill Halon's XO would've been proud.

Phoenix and Jennifer moved slowly to the couch, almost as if they were trying Halon's patience.

"Don't worry Jennifer, help is on its way." Phoenix said softly to his daughter. The din of gunfire and zombie groans preventing Halon from hearing it.

In the rear of the mansion Medicine Man worked quickly,using a simple local anesthetic and with a bit of help from Tombstone,the old biker soon had the bullet from One Eyes shoulder removed.

Medicine Man finished stitching the wound and turned his attention to Shadow " Your memories shall return young warrior" Medicine Man said softly " until then..you must trust in your heart that you are among friends."

Shadow still looked confused,but nodded " I suppose I must be...if you guys weren't friends ...I guess I'd be dead by now."

Tombstone laughed " You got that right buddy."

Shadow stared at Tombstone, a slight smile appeared on his face.

One Eye got to his feet and chewed a few pain pills Medicine Man had given him " Ok...we got a hell of a lot to do and not alot of time to do it in."

Tombstone turned to One Eye " Well...Spanky and Pup are loading supplies...the rest are holding the fort.."

One Eye cut Tombstone off " Yes...but you have insured a war...there's no way Phoenix is going to let this go...and you fething know it."

" Feth Phoenix" Tombstone said " He's probably got more men on the way...but I doubt they'll make it through all those fethers outside...We offer him his life...right now he doesn't have gak to bargain with."

One Eye shrugged " Maybe...just let me do the talking when we get back out there."

Tombstone Shrugged indifferently " We do it your way Bro." He turned his attention to Medicine Man " You'd best get some medical supplies together too...we may have to get the feth out of here soon."

From the front room the gunfire intensified.

" In fact" Tombstone said " I'm sure we'll have to get out of here soon."

He turned and rushed back towards the front of the house,One Eye and Daisy close behind.

The gunfire had grown louder, in fact it seemed like some of it was coming from outside of the house.

Halon turned away from Phoenix and Jennifer to take a glance outside, there were some trucks similar to the ones that had shot at them before on the highway.

"Crap, I gotta tell Tomb and them." Halon said as he jumped in place and began sprinting towards the hall.

It was a bad mistake in a line of things to come.

Phoenix had managed to stand up and sent his forearm into Halon's neck as he began to go past them to get to the others.

The second mistake was running with a loaded weapon, his hand hit the ground and he accidentally pulled the trigger, shooting one of the bikers who had been near the window.

The third mistake was rolling towards Phoenix as Phoenix brought his foot pointedly into Halon's chest.

The only saving grace Halon had was the fact that the shot had alerted the bikers at the front and that he had managed to pull the gun into his chest to prevent Phoenix or Jennifer from grabbing it.

Halon tried to shout, but the wind had been knocked out of him. He was in a bad spot, Phoenix and Jennifer began running towards the garage.

I love the hopelessness of this situation..


--

"We have to get out of here!" Urged Phoenix as he lead his daughter to the garage. When they got there, he opened two cases, and removed from each a single rifle. They was unassembled, but Phoenix and Jennifer soon rectified that and slammed a round home, and grabbed a couple more magazines each.
"Wait. What the hell was that?" Jennifer whispered.
Phoenix stopped dead still, and listened. Sure, he could hear gunfire, lots of it, and the odd shout. Even though he couldn't hear anything else, something still felt.. wrong. He racked the bolt on his gun, waited for a moment, before he finally realised that he'd been holding his breath. He exhaled and turned back to Jennifer. "See? There's absolutely nothi-" Phoenix's words trailed off and became a scream as the massive Zombie that had been clinging to the roof detached itself from where it was concealed, directly above Phoenix, and landed on top of him. As he was sent to the floor, Phoenix instinctively pressed down the trigger on his gun as his arm swung wildy around, and his shots managed to burst the front-right tire on the pickup truck. Phoenix looked up, and saw a towering monstrosity, with a bony exoskeleton raising inhuman claws in preperation to rip his head off - he swore it'd be the last thing he'd see.
"Get off him you ugly bastard!"
Dozens of rounds instantly slammed into the back of the zombie-leader - at point blank range - and it shrieked in agony as some of the shots actually penetrated its exoskeleton and hit its metal-hard skin. A couple of trails of a strange, dark-purple blood leaked from several points on its back, but it swung around and sent Jennifer flying a dozen metres with a viscious backhand. Luckily for her, a bump on the head was all she'd got. She raised the rifle to fire again, but the bolt clicked down on thin air...

From her vantage point, Keira could see the zombies. There was alot of them. In fact, she could see the bumbling shapes of the undead for miles around. The only good thing was they weren't getting any closer than 100 metres or so from the house. There was just too much firepower being poured into them. Keira reloaded and fired another shot off, taking a zombie in the chest, and splitting it in twain in a fountain of blood. Hogs sanguine face contorted into a grimace of hate as he spotted a massive beast clamber into the garage.

"Sh*t, they're going for the motor's!" he yelled. "I hope he doesn't touch my harley!"

Keira span round and watched the thing slip inside. It was stealthy. A crackle of electricity sparked off in front of the house, and a wave of leading zombies convulsed under the electrical currant.

"We gotta warn the others inside. I'll go, you make sure any other big zombies don't get within range of scratching distance."

Hog nodded and turned his attention back to the legion of the dead that were converging upon the house.

Keira raced down the stairs and into the main room. A dozen people were firing through the windows, and a dozen more were trying to batter down the garage door.

"Shoot the lock off!" someone roared, and a resounding blast sent the cast iron door knocker, and a large portion of the door flying away. The door was kicked swiftly open, and the Bikers, led by Halon, who had recovered from his ordeal, charged through. Gunfire erupted from within.

Keira scanned the distance, and saw the convoy of hummers. Gunfire was erupting from all windows, and they were ramming undead that got in their way. They were slowly powering themselves towards the house. Keira sighted down her rifle at the leading vehicle. Keira knew she was opposed to killing people at one point in her life, but..

Well, it didn't seem to matter any more.

Keira fired at the window, and punched a hole through the glass, and into the driver's seat. The vehicle stopped.

"Nice shot." murmured a Biker she had not met, and she nodded. Keira then followed the fire fight into the garage.

OOC: Time for Silver to step in? Not that we've seen much of him recently..

OOC: I have to agree,an event of some sort would probably be in order soon.


BIC:

Tombstone rushed into the main room,One Eye and Daisy hot on his heals,the sounds of intense gunfire pouring from the garage.

Others were busy attempting to hold back the advancing zombie horde,pouring fire from the windows.

Hog saw Tombstone and yelled across the room " There's three Hummers out side ..pretty sure they're Phoenix's men."

A window exploded from gunfire from outside.

" Yeah." Hog said " Obviously Phoenix's men." he let loose a burst of weapons fire in return.

" Waste 'em" Tombstone said,turning his attention to the sounds of battle in the garage,he looked at One Eye "C'mon man let's get in there!"

As they crashed into the combat zone that had been the garage,Tombstone took everything in quickly.

Halon,Dirty Dave,Puppy and Two Dogs where unloading on what appeared to be an armour plated monstrosity.

" Feth me" Tombstone whispered

Across the garage Phoenix was sitting on the floor,he'd been wounded,Jennifer was kneeling near him,she too was firing at the creature.

The Beast was pouring blood from over a hundred wounds,but showed no sign of going down.

" The head!!" Tombstone bellowed " concentrate all fire on it's fething head!!"

The group did as Tombstone ordered,this seemed to do more damage to the creature,but still the abomination refused to fall.

Two Dogs moved from his position behind cover,a grenade held in his hand and a look of fierce determination on his face.

" Hey you ugly mother fether" Two Dogs yelled " If your hungry..I got something you can fething eat!!"

The creature whirled in the direction of the yelling biker,and in an instant was upon him,lifting him completely off the ground.

Two Dogs issued a guttural scream as the beasts claws tore into his sides,it's powerful grip shattering his ribs.

" Feth You!!" the biker screamed,a froth of blood gurgling from his mouth from his ruptured inside and splattering into the creatures face.

Two Dogs pulled the pin from the grenade and let the spoon fly,a small smile spread across his blood slicked lips " Bon appetite you rotten feth!!" he said as he jammed his arm into the beast gaping maw.

" Every one get down!!" One Eye bellowed,pulling Daisy and Tombstone to cover.

Lodged deep inside the creatures throat,the grenade detonated with a tremendous bang,sending the ruined body of Two Dogs spiraling across the garage and into a wall.

Most of the creatures head had been obliterated in the blast,it staggered momentarily,wobbled and pitched forward crashing across the hood of the truck.

" Mother Fething gak!!" Puppy yelled upon seeing his friend Two Dogs destroyed form " Stone we got to get the feth out of here!" the young biker said,almost in a panic.

" Settle down Pup" Tombstone said " We will...just hang tight."

Tombstone glared over at Phoenix,the man was bleeding .

" Did it fething bite him?" the biker said staring at Jennifer.

Tombstone raised his pistols " Did it Fething bite him!!!"

OOC:

In a bit of an effort to alleviate any confusion,and to perhaps aid Silver in any upcoming event,I decided to post a list of " Who's in the house" of sorts.

So we have.

Tombstone
Shadow
Halon
Keira
Bonzo
Jennifer
Saunders

and as for NPCs

One Eye
Daisy
Phoenix
Puppy
Dirty Dave
Hog
Spanky
Medicine Man
and several un-named "Biker girls"

I believe that's everyone.

We also have a now ruined truck full of supplies,several Harley's,a van full of supplies and a Limo.

OOC: I call dibs on the limo.

"Shoot the prick, he's been bit." Halon said. He didn't know, but he wanted the man dead.

Jennifer glared at Halon " He wasn't bitten!!" she screamed " It didn't bite him!!"

Halon fixed his gaze on Phoenix " It bit you.. didn't it ,you fething snake..." Halon grinned a bit.

" Feth you!" Jennifer shouted at Halon,tears spilled down her face.

" Princess,move away from him" Tombstone said softly.

Oh yeahh.. Saunders has kinda disappeared, hasn't he?

Darkvoidof40k wrote:Oh yeahh.. Saunders has kinda disappeared, hasn't he?

Yup....Hopefully he's discovered an APC hidden in the safe house basement....perhaps a helicopter on the roof?

" Damn it! stop pointing guns at my Father!!" Jennifer yelled at Tombstone " He wasn't fething bitten...that fething thing just knocked him down!!"

Tombstone hesitated,he had come to begrudgingly respect Jennifer over the past few days...hell,he had to admit he liked her in an odd sort of way.

He lowered his pistols and spoke " Fine Princess,Daddy hasn't been bitten...or so you say." the biker glared at Phoenix " If he shows any sign of changing..becoming one of those things...I wont let you stop me from killing him."

Jennifer glared at Tombstone "If he starts to change...I'll kill him myself you bastard."

Phoenix spoke calmly from the floor " I assure you I have not been bitten,mealy knocked about some."

"Shame it didn't rip your fething head off." Halon said absently.

"Feth you" Jennifer spat at Halon.

" No! Feth you you overprivileged self absorbed little bitch." Halon roared back at her " Your Daddy's men tried to kill us out there on the road!!...Now theirs more of them outside shooting at us...and you still won't see what a fething snake he is....or maybe your just like him!!"

Jennifer said nothing but continued glaring at Halon.

" If you'll permit me " Phoenix said reaching into his coat pocket.

Several guns came to bear on the man,Phoenix raised his hand,a cell phone palmed inside.

" I assure you gentlemen...I have no dastardly plans in mind" Phoenix said smiling " If I may." he indicated his phone.

Tombstone nodded at Phoenix,

The man hit the send button on his phone and waited a moment,finally speaking " Yes...this is Phoenix,cease all hostilities on the mansion...concentrate all fire on those creatures outside...repeat...you will concentrate all fire on those creatures outside

Phoenix paused eyeing Tombstone..." Have you a plan Mr.Tombstone?"

The biker hesitated for a moment and then spoke " Getting out of here would seem to be the most advantageous move."

" Agreed." Phoenix said,he spoke again over the phone " We shall be attempting evacuation soon...stand by."

Phoenix clicked the phone off.

" You see Mr. Tombstone...no tricks" Phoenix smiled " I merely wish to get myself and my beloved daughter out of here in one piece."

" Tombstone!" Halon spoke " You can't seriously be considering trusting this fether..."

Tombstone laughed " I don't trust him..but as I see it he can't save his ass without saving ours....He tries crossing us...we kill him...and he knows it."

Phoenix smiled broadly " Indeed...it seems,just like in politics,the end of the world makes for strange bed fellows."

Halon sneered at the man " Feth up...try to double cross us and I promise you...you'll die."

Phoenix nodded smiling.

"C'mon" One Eye said "Let's get it together and get it in gear...if we're moving out...let's do it."

OOC: Exactly fitzz, halon doesn't appreciate being clotheslined and then kicked with expensive shoes.

Its the expensive shoes with pointed ends that hurt the most in my opinion. Steel capped ones aren't that bad in comparison..

Hmm.. I have a little plan for Phoenix now.. something particularly special.. hehehe.

Tombstone stepped into the front room of the mansion " Situation!?" he demanded " What we got outside!?"

Saunders turned from the window he and a young biker girl were both shooting from " We're thinning them down some Stone,but theirs still some out there...if we're hauling ass we may want to do it soon...before reinforcements arrive."

" Damn right." Tombstone said,he turned his attention to the main group " All of you hit the armoury...get ammo for what ever weapons you got...if you don't have a side arm get one...move in groups of two...keep them windows covered!!"

Two biker girls moved quickly for the armoury.

Tombstone turned to Spanky and Puppy "get everything out of the truck...it's FUBAR...load it in the fething limo...as much as you can cram in...and check it for explosives ...just in case."

The two younger bikers ran to follow Tombstones orders.

" Ten fething minutes people!!" the biker yelled running for the rear of the mansion and hollering up to Keira and Hog " Let's move!!...we are pulling out!!" as he went.

Tombstone glanced over his shoulder as he ran,One Eye was busy keeping everyone moving and seeing that the evacuation was moving quickly, Daisy was right behind him.

" Stone" she said rushing to keep up with the biker " I want you to know I love you...if we don't make it out of here...I want you to know that."

Tombstone paused and took the young woman in his arms kissing her " I love you too." he said " now let's get a move on."

Daisy smiled and took off after the biker.

The couple rushed into Medicine Mans "hospital", the old biker was bandaging Shadows head and giving him a shot.

"this will help ease the effects of your sickness" the old biker said to Shadow as Tombstone and Daisy rushed in.

" We got to get a move on " Tombstone said " five minutes...can you be ready?"

" We will be ready fierce Tombstone" Medicine Man smiled " I just have to finish packing a few supplies."

Tombstone looked at Shadow " How about you Bro?" the biker asked " You ready to roll?"

Shadow smiled " Do I have a choice?" he laughed.

" Yes" Tombstone laughed " Come with us or cover yourself with ketchup and sit around and wait for more dinner guest to arrive."

The two men laughed.

The truck had one burst tire, but oh well, maybe we don't have a spare or something.. :p

Bonzo giggle as he was told to go to the armoury, bikers looked at him nervously as he was showing an obviously far too happy demeanour as he entered the room. He turned instantly to the wall, surveyed the weapons available and tucked three uzis in his belt, stuffing some ammunition into a shoe and a pocket in his dirty trousers. He also hid a few jackknives about his person and finally, pulled a SPAS 12 from the wall and appropriate ammo from the walls, stroking his newly found friends as he left.

"I ThiNk We'Ll CAlL YoU MOuReeN" He said to the gun, the bikers suppressing laughter at this display of affection. "BuT I StIlL WanT My FeTHInG CHaInsAwS!"

He made his way back to the room where everything seemed to be happening,Tombstone was talking to the medicine man and Shadow, overhearing a bit of Tombstone's conversation he made his way to the kitchen. After a little rooting around, he got what he'd gone in there for and plonked a little bottle of red sauce in front of the slightly traumatised Shadow.

"THiS HeLp MucH?"

"..." replied Shadow.

In all seriousness:

IC:

Shadow just stared blankly at the bottle produced in front of him. When he glanced up at who had put it there, his jaw dropped open, temporarily awe-struck at the insane, smelly, perverse mockery of a clown before him. Then he glanced at the weapons the freak had about himself.

Shadow instinctively reached for a pistol. "Who the feth is this crackhead?" He demanded.

"yOu kNow HoW wE HaVe ThinGS ThAT Go BumP iN ThE nIgHT?" Smirked Bonzo, his grin growing ever larger.

"Yea...." Said Shadow, unimpressed and still non the wiser.

"I'M WhO GoEs BUMP In TheiR NighT!" Screamed Bonzo with a cacophony of laughter, triggering a hiding zombie to show itself from the door frame it had been hiding behind. Before anyone could react and without turning around, Bonzo whipped an uzi out and sprayed the door, chewing up the zombie's face and narrowly missing a random biker.

"SeE?" Said Bonzo, smiling now as wide as he could muster, showing all of his oh so pretty teeth.

Hog and Keira raced down the stairs and into the garage. The room was a mess, with a large and mangled corpse twitching on the floor.

"F*ck me, you guys don't do things half measure." Hog bellowed, taking in the catastrophe of the room. He then set about strapping the MG42 to his bike. Keira slung her rifle, and looked around for something to do. Soon she was helping with the desperate packing. The zombies were close, and some had already made it inside. They were gonna have to make a break for it soon.
