Chronicles of the Apocalypse (2011)

That same day, few Cratersville people, including Dante, Killen, Colin, Walter, Nathan, Blaine and Ian are preparing three vehicles. Ian is driving the first truck with Blaine. The second is driven by Ben with Dante, Josiah and Killen. The third is driven by Colin and Walter. James walks over to Colin's vehicle.

James: you sure you're gonna be okay, Uncle Colin? I mean, who knows what the City of the Damned is full of?

Colin: we'll be fine, James. Don't worry.

James: Oh, wait....Uncle Colin! I forgot!

James pulls out a remote control as a flying robot appears from its cloaking device.

Dante: Whoa....what-hey, little buddy.

James: He's friendly, Dante. Relax.

The flying robot flies around Dante, before flying over to Colin and Nathan.

Nathan: (exclaims) James! What the hell is this thing?

James: Mr. Jax! Say hello, Mr. Jax!

Jax speaks by beeping.

Dante: Uh....I didn't get that.

James: Yeah, I still need to install a vocal process chip inside him. I just need to find one....

Luke: Where did you find it?

James: Him. Not "it". "Him" and I didn't find him. I built him. Out of scrap. Carbon Fiber.....a Zeus Corps battery.

Colin: Where the hell did you find a Zeus Corps battery?

James: Uh.....

Luke: You and Josiah have been sneaking out again, haven't you?

Colin: James....

James: What?!

Colin: Josiah, you're supposed to be keeping my little nephew out of trouble.

Josiah: I am....sort of....hey, we're young boys. We're born to be wild! Your nephew told me about your days as a hunter, Mr. Colin.

James: It's not his fault. I wanted to go. Anyways, you might want to take him with you. He can provide a lot of help for you guys.

Walter: A bot like that could help the trip a lot. What can he do?

James: He can hack into terminals. Hold data. Open closed doors. Cloak so that way enemies can't see him. He's fucking awesome!

Nathan is kissing Nora.

Nora: Come back and bring my egghead brother with you.

Nathan: I will....I promise...

Justin is socializing with Blaine.

Justin: Yo, you sure, you're gonna be okay?

Blaine: Man, I'll be fine. Just keep Bart out, and the store running.

The two give a handshake with each other and Blaine enters the vehicle. James and Josiah say their goodbyes to each other as Luke walks over to Colin's car.

Luke: I hope you know where you're going and what you're doing.

Colin: (laughs) Don't I always?

Luke laughs.

Luke: Be safe, son.

The vehicles and cargo truck drive towards the way to the City of the Damned. During the trip, in Killen's vehicle, Dante is listening to "Spirit in the sky" on an iPod, while Dante reads a journal with pictures in it, saying "Kronos is a lie!", "Disease free my ass" No safe haven in the world" and Killen is smoking as he drives.

Dante: What is this thing called again?

Killen: an IPod....it's got loads of music on it....

Dante: And I'm listening to...uh...Spirit in the sky by Greenbaum?

Killen: Yeah...

Dante: mm...this 80's music shit is awesome. (reading book) If lots of people turn to the gangs, why don't they turn to the Authorities?

Killen: the Authorities only look at Quarantine Matters. They don't want the world to get as bad as it is now....It's worse now.....Kronos is the Authority of the Wasteland now

Josiah: (to Dante) Hey, so you're the new kid on the block, right?

Dante: Yeah! Name's Dante.

Josiah: That's great. Name's Josiah. I'm going to have your back on this trip, buddy!

Dante: thanks.

Meanwhile, in a Zeus Corps Helicopter, Barnes and Kyle, who is wearing an eye piece of equipment and listening to "Black Betty" on his MP3, sit down in the chopper with Epps and Jemo as Cole speaks to them.

Cole: Private Barnes. Welcome to Alpha. We haven't properly met. I'm Captain Edgar Cole.

Cole offers a handshake, but Barnes silently declines.

Barnes: Armor's gotten an improvement. So have the choppers....even the weapons.....

Barnes looks down into the post-apocalyptic landscape.

Barnes: But we're still losing the war....where are we going?

Cole: The middle of Frederick Square. General Burton is waiting for us.

Barnes: Burton? He's still alive? Fucking A.

Cole: You know Epps?

Epps: Good to see you again, Private Barnes.

Cole: And this is Private Jemo Kamaludin.....he's the youngest....and I believe you know Lieutenant Desipich.

Barnes: Yeah, we've met. My older brother trained this kid. Hard to believe he's in charge now.

Kyle gives Barnes a look. Jemo removes his mask.

Jemo: So, you're the Sergeant Barnes, huh? The one who fought in The Siege of Brooklyn? 2014?

Barnes: The one and only, kid.

Jemo: That is fucking awesome! I'll have to get an autograph!

Barnes: Yeah, I'll do that.

Kyle: Hey, Jemo. Just don't forget who gives the orders, man.

Jemo: You got it, sir.

Barnes: "Sir". Someone's put their big boy pants on since I've been gone.

Cole: Don't be so sure. Desipich here still believes that Blood Hog kids should be alive.

Barnes: As expected...from a scientist's kid.

Cole: So you don't mind my asking? I know about your trial, son.....was it worth it?

Barnes: In the end....no...but I learned a lesson that day.

The helicopter lands in the middle of Frederick Square where another helicopter and Burton are seen waiting for them. Barnes and Burton give each other a look, before Barnes hops out and approaches Burton, who shakes Kyle's hand.

Burton: Lieutenant Desipich...

Kyle: Sir....

Burton smears at Barnes, who approaches him.

Burton: You! A goddamned fuck up like you doesn't deserve the armor or the weapons!

Barnes: Good to see you too, General...and loving what our lovely nukes have done to the city! Six years in prison and y'all still don't know what the fuck you're doing....tell me; how's your brother and your kids doing?

Burton: Move aside, Private.

Barnes steps to the side as Cole approaches Burton.

Burton: Captain.

Cole: General.

Ryan: There's some good news. Luckily, the satellite crashed in this city and the data is still intact.

Epps: (scoffs) Hey, Lieutenant. Twenty bucks says this is just a floozy.

Ryan: Burton, the sensors are reading enemy movements.

Ryan approaches Kyle.

Kyle: Dr. Fenix....

Ryan: Lieutenant. Thank you again for volunteering for this mission.

Kyle: With all due respect, I was volunteered by the General. He asked me to come and help retrieve the satellite.

Ryan: I see. Still, we're lucky to have you on this. Really. I appreciate it. You've always been a level-headed soldier.

Ryan's eyes widen as he notices Barnes, who nods back at Ryan.

Ryan: Sergeant Barnes.

Barnes: It's Private now.

Ryan: How was prison?

Barnes: Damn, you get to the point, don't you? It was nice. Flat screen TV's. Metal beds. Didn't get raped or shanked. Thank god....yeah, if I had to rate living in prison and fighting out here, I'd give a 80....your big bro still in an ice box?

Ryan: Actually--

Suddenly, a Zeus Corps Soldier standing near Ryan is shot, splattering blood on him. A Blood Hog sniper lends down his rifle as more Blood Hogs arrive on the scene and open fire.

Epps: Hostiles!

Cole: Take cover!

Kyle: Move!

Barnes, Kyle, Cole, Epps, Jemo and Burton hide behind cover while Ryan flees into a helicopter.

Burton: Okay, Lieutenant. We now have information that one of our satellites had crashed into the City of the Damned. One of the few most dangerous cities left on the planet! We need that satellite data to try and locate Subject 19!

Barnes: Now, I'm fucking mad!

Barnes and Kyle open fire onto a few Blood Hogs.

Kyle: Hell yeah!

Epps: Grenade!

A grenade is thrown near the soldier's position, but with no casualties.

Burton: Delta Squad had the received the data, but we lost contact with them! Last transmission was within the city! I want you to get in there. Find our guys and retrieve that satellite data.

Cole: Will we have any Mecha's available?

Burton: Not that we know of.

Cole: Air support?

Burton: Damned winged beasts keep taking out our birds! You'll have to go on foot.

Kyle: We are so fucked.

Barnes: Down to three.

Barnes guns down the rest of the Blood Hogs.

Kyle: Hostiles clear!

Cole: The info's been updated to your pad.

Burke: Burton! We'd better leave before more show up.

Cole: Consider it done, sir.

Burton approaches Kyle and Barnes.

Burton: Lieutenant Desipich. Make me proud, son.

Kyle: Yes, sir...

Burton: I expect you to give me all you have, Barnes!

Barnes: Whatever you say.....sir.

Meanwhile, the vehicles drive into City of the Damned. Colin looks at empty streets abandoned destroyed buildings, and rusted cars, some covered in dying weeds wrapped around.

Colin: and yet, this happened in twenty years. God bless America.

Ian is driving while Walter is looking around for the hospital.

Ian: Where the hell is this hospital?

Walter: Killen said it was around here somewhere.

Walter grabs his radio.

Walter: Killen, you sure the Hospital is around here?

Killen: Yeah, I came here once or twice while I was on trips to California.

Dante: what were you doing here in California?

Killen: My parents took me here once....when I was a kid.

Dante: You know; I did the same thing with my boy.....me and my wife....

Josiah: You used to go here a lot to these amusement parks in your dreams too huh?

Killen: I wish.

The vehicles stop as the survivors exit their vehicles.

Josiah: That's odd. It's too damn quiet out here.

Walter: I know what you mean, man.

The group spots the ravaged dead scavenger.

Dante: What is this?

Josiah: It is or was the body of a scavenger. Poor bastard doesn't deserve sympathy. Fucking scavengers are always looting corpses.

Walter finally spots a building.

Walter: Ian, over there.....The California Hall of Justice....I think we can cut through there...get to the hospital faster....

Killen: Alright, guys, stop.....we're taking a short cut....

Ian: fucking hate shortcuts...

The vehicles are parked in front of the Hall of Justice as the survivors step out of their vehicles.

Blaine: The Hall of Justice....this was a beautiful place...a lot of history....

Walter: a lot of bullshit, too.

Colin: Dante....you, Josiah and Walter stay here....

Dante: What?

Colin: I need someone to watch the vehicles....just in case some fuckers...or something comes by...

Walter: Hey, Dante, baby sitting's not that bad...

Colin: all right. Let's go.

Killen, Colin, Ian, and Blaine enter the Hall of Justice. The four men approach the door to find it barred.

Colin: Damn it. It's locked.

Nathan: It's all right. We'll find another-

Suddenly, Mr. Jax decloaks, floating above the survivors.

James: (through Mr. Jax's mic) Uncle Colin. Nathan. Can you hear me? It's me.

Colin: James. Yes, I can hear you.

James: I can get this door for you.

Mr. Jax uses his mechanical torch to open the door.

James: Wholla!

Colin: Thanks, James.

James: I'll be here if you need me....well, Mr. Jax will be here if you need him.

Colin kicks the doors open as the four enter the building with caution with their weapons aimed forward and their flashlights out.

Blaine: Damn...it fucking stinks....anyone take a queef?

Ian: A "queef"?

Blaine: Yeah, anyone shit their pants?

Killen: I think the question is did someone fart?

Ian: oh, sorry.

Blaine: Did you really-

Ian: Hey, man. When you gotta go, you gotta go.

Colin: keep quiet....we don't know who's in here....or what's in here?

Suddenly, a noise of broken glass is heard as the four men aim their weapons towards the noise.

Colin: What the hell was that?

Killen: Who knows, man?

Before them, a small naked baby Ratclaw leaps out and runs past the six men, startling Blaine and causing him to fall onto the ground.

Blaine: What the f-the fuck, man?!

Ian: (laughs) Damn, Blaine...aw, you scared of a little baby Ratclaw?

Blaine: Man....

Colin helps Blaine up.

That's not a fucking baby...that's a goddamn naked mole rat! Now we just need to find Kim Possible.

Killen: I used to have nightmares about Ratclaws when I first saw them as a kid.

Colin: Shit. I do.

Ian laughs. Meanwhile in the city, Alpha Squad continues moving throughout the city attempting to track down the damaged satellite.

Jemo: Captain, we just have to keep moving north!

Cole: Copy that.

Epps and Jemo continue while Kyle talks to Barnes.

Kyle: So I heard about your trial. What they locked you up for? Was it really because you turned a student into a mad psychopath?

Barnes: Let me guess.....Burton told you my whole backstory.

Kyle: Yeah, he did. Made Sergeant within a month. Passed the inspection no problem. Most have some kind of radiation spike within their bodies they didn't even know about. You. Me. Hell even Epps and Jemo here; we're the lucky few.

Barnes: "Lucky", huh? Think luck had something to do with us being alive, kid? or fate?

Epps: Sir, we've found it! In this building!

A giant building is in front of the squad.

Jemo: Wow! What is this place?

Kyle: Once it was a memoriam for fallen soldiers. Now it's a fucking derelict. Command calls this place; the Tomb of Whispers. Some people who stayed here said they hear the whispers of the dead here.

Alpha Squad lines up as Cole informs them of the plan.

Jemo: The satellite's signal is getting stronger, sir.

Cole: All right. Here's the plan. Barnes. Jemo. Epps. You'll look for a way in. Dietrich and I will stay back and give you cover.

Barnes: And Delta?

Cole: If we have time, we'll save them.

Alpha Squad proceeds to approach the Tomb of Whispers with caution, but find no signs of hostiles. While searching the area, they locate the crashed satellite.

Cole: Found it. Epps. Jemo. Retrieve the data. Barnes. Dietrich. You keep watch.

Barnes: Yes, sir.

Barnes and Jemo keep watch while Epps and Kyle retrieve the data from the crashed satellite.

Epps: Package received.

Cole talks into his earpiece.

Cole: Griffin 1, this is Captain Cole. Data retrieved.

Griffin Pilot: Copy that, Captain. Rendezvous point is at Baker Street. West of your position.

Cole: Copy that, Griffin. Cole out.

Jemo notices a dead Zeus Corps Soldier tied up like a gutted pig.

Jemo: That's odd.....

Cole: What?

Jemo: He's not from Sigma. His dog tags are gone. It's as if he's been put out here like some piñata on rope.

Jemo approaches the soldier as Kyle suddenly calls out.

Kyle: Wait! Jemo!

Suddenly, before Jemo attempts to take down the corpse, the ropes suddenly trigger a trap that results in Jemo being impaled.

Epps: Fuck!

Barnes: They set a trap.....stupid fucking kid.

Kyle: Man, show some fucking respect!

The three squad members recover and approach Jemo's corpse.

Cole: Jemo...

Kyle: I know.

Kyle takes Jemo's dog tags.

Cole: We'll mourn him later, men. We have to keep moving.

Outside the Hall of Justice, Dante is listening to his MP3 while Walter is seen standing guard. Josiah walks over to Dante.

Josiah: you cool, bro?

Dante: Yeah.

Josiah smokes his cigarette before attempting to hand Dante a cigarette.

Josiah: Cigarette?

Dante: No thanks, man.

Josiah: You sure, man?

Dante: Yeah, I'm sure....I heard those are cancer on sticks.

Josiah: Ah....it's not that bad. It helps warm me up.

Suddenly, a shadow passes by Dante. At first, he is not fazed by it until a second shadow passes by. Josiah and Walter notices this as well. Dante steps out of the car and pulls out his earbuds.

Dante: Walter....what was that?

Walter: Who knows? A bird? Paper?

Josiah: Hey, don't worry, old man....we're safe...

Dante: you sure, kid? We're pretty out in the open here.

Josiah: bro. We're safe out here. No one's going to spot us....because I'm a guy who can shoot down a target from point A to point-

Josiah is suddenly shot in the head, splattering blood on Dante.

Walter: Holy shit!

Josiah falls dead as Dante is in shock as he wipes his face from Josiah's blood, causing his mind to go blank for a moment.

Walter: (muffled) Dante! Dante!

The sniper nearly gets a bead on Dante and prepares to shoot him, before Walter tackles him, saving Dante from the shot and snapping him out of her blank state.

Walter: Dante! You okay?

Dante and Walter take cover.

Dante: What the fuck? Josiah...he-

Walter: I know....there's a sniper.....we're going to kill that son of a bitch.

Walter shoots at the sniper as a short gunfight ensues, before the sniper is gunned down.

Walter: Got em! Son of a bitch!

A demonic roar is heard as Dante and Walter give a frightful look at each other. In the Hall of Justice, Blaine is able to locate the junction box. He then tinkers with it for a while as the power to the entire building.

Blaine: And...let there be light!

Colin: Blaine...you are the fucking man!

The demonic roar is heard again as Killen and Colin rush to the direction of the noise.

Killen: what was that?!

Walter: (from Colin's radio) Colin! Nathan!

Colin: (talks in radio) Walter? What the hell was that noise?

Dante: (from radio) the thing that's chasing us!

Colin: where are you guys?

Suddenly, Dante and Walter break in through the door. The two immediately put their backs against the wall as a force on the other side pushes against them.

Dante: Help us!

Colin: Fuck!

Colin, Killen and Blaine help Dante and Walter hold the door. The beasts hand punches through and attempts to grab one of the survivors. Killen, with his free hand, shoots at the creature. Ian looks around and manages to grab a bottle of alcohol and a rag. He then puts the rag in the bottle and ignites it with his lighter, creating a Molotov.

Ian: Move! Back up!

The survivors backed up at the door moves as the creature, a demonic like monster with wings, bursts through. Ian tosses the Molotov at the creature, dispersing a fire that separates the creature from the survivors.

Killen: Damn!

Dante: What was that you made?

Ian: It's called a Molotov cocktail....comes in handy when there's a big ass fucking demon like creature coming in.

Killen: Sure did....

Killen looks around.

 Killen: Where's Josiah?

Walter: He's dead.....there was a sniper out there. I shot him dead.

Colin: Goddamn it. That was my nephew's best friend.

Blaine: Can we find the fucking hospital please?

The survivors travel to the court room as Dante looks around.

Dante: Whoa...what was this place?

Killen: A Court...it was here that a judge would choose if a murderer, a killer, a thief or a rapist was guilty or innocent...

Dante: What do you think everyone was?

Killen: In this world now....guilty.

Ian looks at one of the gargoyle statues and surveys them.

Ian: hmm....those things always did creep me out...why is one of them bigger than the other?

Suddenly, one of the gargoyles springs to life and swoops down in front of him.

Killen: Ian!

Ian shoots at the demonic creature as the bullets deflect off its skin. Colin, Walter, Dante, Blaine and Ben shoot at it. The demonic creature jumps at Ian and grabs him before flying up.

Colin: Ian!

Ian: Agh! Fuck! Put me down!

Ian shoots at the demonic creature as the demonic creature tosses him into a railing that falls apart, before flying out the window. Ian falls onto the railing shard and is impaled in the chest.

Walter: Fuck!

Ian coughs up blood.

Ian: Shit! Bastard got me! Fucking!

Dante: Oh, my god! Ian! We have to pull him out!

Colin: No! If we pull it out, it could kill him!

Walter: that shard is too close to his heart.

Blaine, Colin and Killen kneel to the mortally wounded Ian.

Ian: I can't breathe...I can't-(shuddering)

Colin: Ian! Hey! Hey! Goddamn it! You stay with me! Stay with me! Keep your eyes open, man. Keep em open. Look at me! Look at me! Stay with me, brother! Stay alive for your sister back home, man! She needs you! Don't you do this to Nora, man! C'mon!

Ian: Tell my sister....Tell Nora I love her...

Ian dies to his wounds as Dante gives a sigh of sadness.

Colin: Ian! Fuck!

Dante: Jesus...

Walter: He's dead, man. He's fucking dead.

Colin closes Ian's dead eyes and takes his necklace from his corpse.

Blaine: Goddamn it, Ian.

Walter: Who's going to tell Nora about this?

Nathan: I will.

Colin: No, I'll tell her. It was my fault. I should've shot that bastard down.

Killen: Colin, you did all you could. We all did.

Suddenly, gunfire is heard from outside the building. In the City of the Damned, Cole leads his squad through the streets, taking cover and moving with cautious.

Cole: Sigma, this is Alpha...how far are you?

Sigma Squad Leader: Alpha, we're at the rendezvous point, but we're pinned down by a group of Blood Hogs near Palms Hospital! Where running low on ammo!

Cole: Copy that....keep moving, Alpha! Sigma needs our help!

The Cratersville Survivors look at the battle between the Blood Hogs and Zeus Corps Sigma Squad.

Dante: What the hell are those soldiers fighting the Blood Hogs?

Killen: That's them, Dante....the Zeus Corps....They rule the Wasteland....

In the midst of the battle, the Blood Hogs are pinned down between the buildings of the Hall of Justice and The Hospital. The Sigma Squad Leader pulls out a weapon with a heat ray.

Killen: What is that? What kind of weapon is that?

The Sigma Squad aims the weapon's red beam at the Blood Hogs as one of them notices this.

Blood Hog # 1: What the fuck?

Suddenly, three beams align at the Blood Hog. Above the three beams is a satellite armed with the energy of the sun that reigns down onto the Blood Hogs like a nuclear bomb.

Colin: Get down!

Dante, Colin, Killen, Walter and Blaine jump down onto the ground as the glass shatters. After the blast, the survivors and Sigma Squad recover.

Walter: (coughs) What...the...fuck...was that?

Dante: I don't know...

Sigma Squad Leader: looks like the "Gods Fist" works....

Killen: I think that's what it's called.

Dante: Man. I wake up twenty years later and the world's weapons have become more deadlier.

Before them, a squad of Zeus Corps Soldiers approach and aim their weapons aimed at them.

Sigma Squad Soldier # 1: Drop your weapons...now...

Dante, Colin, Blaine, Killen and Walter do as their instructed and drop their weapons.

Sigma Squad Soldier # 2: Move...now...

The survivors are escorted to the center of the street.

Sigma Squad Soldier # 1: On your knees....and hands on your fucking head...

Dante, Killen, Walter, Colin, and Blaine put their hands on their head and drop down to their knees.

Colin: we don't mean no trouble...we're just looking for medicine. A lot of our people back home are hurt.

Delta Squad Soldier # 3: shut up. I'll scan them.

Dante: Not this shit again.....

Delta Squad Soldier # 3 pulls out a scanner device and places it on Blaine's neck.

Killen: You got a plan here, Colin?

Colin: I'm thinking here.

Killen: Walter...

Walter: I ain't got shit.

Dante: Well, we got to think of something. They're going to fucking kill us.

Delta Squad Soldier # 3 finishes scanning the survivors.

Delta Squad Soldier # 3: They're clean.

Blaine: Good...then can we leave?

Delta Squad Soldier # 3: Shut the fuck up....we have a couple questions....

Cole and the rest of Alpha Squad arrives as the Sigma Squad Leader approaches Cole.

Sigma Squad Leader: Captain. 

Cole salutes.

Cole: Corporal....

Cole hands the Sigma Squad Leader the data from the satellite

Cole: Here. It's the data from the satellite. Protect it. 

Cole turns to notice the survivors.

Cole: what's this and what's with all the gunfire?

Sigma Squad Leader: These five stragglers were caught. They don't look like Blood Hogs.....Blood Hogs attacked us too, but we drove them off with the Gods Fist...

Cole approaches the survivors.

Cole: Evening....I'm wondering why five of you are out here?

Walter: We're just here getting medicine, man. we don't mean no trouble. We had a fight with the Blood Hogs and a lot of good people back home are hurt. Two of our scavenging group has already died.

Cole: Yeah, well...hope you understand this is just a precaution....you guys could be playing innocent and then try to kill us....

Kyle: Wait....Colin?

Colin: Kyle? Is that you?

Dante: You know this guy?

Kyle: Yeah...

Colin: This is my other nephew's best friend...you could say he's a family friend of some sorts...

Killen: That's great, Colin, but that doesn't mean he'll let us go nicely.

Kyle: Uh...it's good to see you....wish it was under better circumstances.

Colin: Tell me, son....is my big brother still alive?

Kyle: Yeah, he's still in charge....Shawn's still alive, too...but he's on leave right now....your other nephew still alive?

Colin: James? Yeah, he's a crafty little bastard....

Kyle: He's gotta be what like...seventeen...

Colin: Nineteen, actually....you gotta stop by our town sometime and meet him.

Walter: Colin, what the hell you doin, man? He's a fuckin Zeus Corps pig.

Colin: Walter, quiet! I know this young man and I know he wouldn't let anything happen to us.

Barnes notices Colin.

Barnes: Colin? Colin Burton? Well, I'll be goddamned. You're still alive, man!

Colin: Barnes?

Dante: What? You know these guys?

Colin: This guy is under the command of my older brother, William....I also went to high school with him. (to Barnes) Played twenty-yard lines with this guy too! The Patmore High School Eagles.....where does twenty years go by, man? Heard last time you were rotting in prison.

Barnes: well....Zeus Corps got desperate. It's sad to see you like this...William told me about the wife and the kid....I'm sorry to hear. Truly.....so what the hell are you guys in the City of the Damned?

Colin: Our people...we need some medicine...we just had this gunfight with the Blood Hogs....

Barnes: Damn, the Blood Hogs are pissing off everyone these days.....

Colin: Barnes....before we executed him, the Leader of the Blood Hogs said that Kronos set him up....do you know anything about that?

Cole: No...and even if we did, we wouldn't tell you....confidential information on who we got tags on in the wasteland....shit, I'd tag every motherfucker who's left on this goddamn planet...

Kyle: Sir, they're not Blood Hogs...and they're just scavenging for medicine...maybe we should let these people about their business...

Cole: I understand you know this one...

Cole points to Colin.

Cole: But this decision is not yours, Sergeant.

A Zeus Corps Helicopter is seen arriving in the street.

Cole: Well, well, well, we can continue this conversation at the base...Corporal, we're taking these five back to base...(looks at Dante) You look slightly familiar....Private! (Delta Squad Soldier # 3 approaches) You scanned all six of them?

Sigma Squad Soldier # 3: Yes, sir...none show signs of infection or radiation....Oh, shit....I forgot to scan the last guy before you arrived...

Cole: The fuck you waiting for?! Scan him!

As the helicopter approaches, a group of Blood Hogs are seen following the helicopter on the streets and surveying it in some of the buildings, before taking cover. In the street, Barnes grabs the scanner and holds it to Dante's neck. The scanner device scans Dante's vitals. His status is green for positive for Dante's infection.

Kyle: Holy shit...

Walter spots a group of Blood Hogs on a building with rocket launchers aimed at the helicopter.

Walter: Blood Hogs!

The Blood Hogs shoot the rockets at the helicopter, causing it to crash into a building. In slow motion, Dante is grabbed by Killen as Colin, Walter and Blaine dodge the crashing helicopter that crushes the Sigma Squad Leader. The blazing trail of fire separates Cole, who is trapped with engaging a squad of Blood Hogs. Kyle is separated as well, but manages to repel Blood Hog forces. Killen manages to grab the God Fists Weapon from the Sigma Squad Soldier #3. Dante, Killen, Colin, Walter and Blaine retreat from the fire fight. The Zeus Corps Soldiers shoot at the Blood Hog gang as well; throwing grenades that incapacitates or kills a few Blood Hogs. One of the soldiers' attempts to shoot Killen, but Barnes stops his shot.

Barnes: We're not here for them!

Cole backs away opening fire as Barnes gives a moment to think.

Cole: C'mon! You like that, huh?!

Cole shoots down while he backs away and stops shooting as he turns to Barnes.

Cole: Private! Engage those hostiles!

Barnes: Yes, sir....

As Cole turns, Barnes pulls out his blade and impales Cole from behind.

Barnes: Nothing personal, Captain.....

Barnes then takes the blade out as Cole turns and then spits up blood in Barnes' face.

Cole: Fuck you!

Barnes then stabs Cole again, killing him as Cole falls lifelessly onto the ground. Kyle witnesses Barnes killing Cole, before he comes under heavy fire by Blood Hogs and is forced to retreat into an alley.

Barnes: Cole is down! I repeat Cole is down! We need to evacuate!

Epps: Where's Desipich?!

Barnes: I don't know! Shit! Come on!

Epps: Fall back! Everyone fall back!

Meanwhile, the Cratersville Survivors are being chased by Blood Hogs while Blaine kicks open the door to the Hospital as Walter, Killen and Dante enter. The Blood Hogs chase Colin into the building as Colin shoots a Blood Hog armed with a machete in the eye, before taking the arrow from his eye socket. Dante and Killen slam the doors shut. Walter, Ben and Nathan barricade the doors. Colin sits down for a moment on some debris and reloads his arrow into his crossbow.

Colin: Fuck! Fucking fuck!

Walter: Yeah, best putting it lightly.

Dante: how do you know those two soldiers?

Colin: Kyle? He's a family friend. He and my older nephew were raised together. They joined Zeus Corps together.

Dante: And he matters to you.

Colin: Kyle may be Zeus Corps, but he's always been a great kid to me.

Killen: Colin, he's Zeus Corps. He could've killed us....

Colin: Right. He could've, but he didn't...

Dante: And that other soldier? Barnes?

Colin: Barnes? I told you. I went to high school with him and his asshole brother.

Dante: does James know him too?

Colin: Yeah, and he hates him...He's corrupted a student at the military and went to prison for it....look, now is not the time to talk about my dysfunctional family....short version; my older brother is the general of the Zeus Corporation and Shawn, the other nephew, is a soldier....

Walter: Hey, Colin....if you haven't realized, now really ain't a good time to discuss family problems. Now's a good time to find the medicine....

Killen: And more importantly get the fuck out of here.

A sudden rumble and roar is heard, alerting the survivors to aim their weapons toward the ends of the hall.

Killen: (quietly) No one....fucking...move...

Dante: (quietly) what...the...hell....was...that?

Killen: (quietly) that would be a Living Monolith....A big motherfucker....it can hear us...and can even sense us...smell us...

In another hall of Hospital, a group of Blood Hogs are seen using chains to restrain the Living Monolith, a giant muscular creature. One of the Blood Hogs is seen using a stick taser to shock the Living Monolith.

Blood Hog # 1: Damn! Man, you sure they ran in here?!

Blood Hog # 2: Bucky said they ran in here! Who knows what those fuckers have on them! Will you quit your bitchin and hold this fucker?! We need him to sniff them out...C'mon, Frankie...

The Living Monolith sniffs around and uses it's ears to sense movements. The Blood Hog shocks the Living Monolith.

Blood Hog # 3: Oh, fucking find them!

The Living Monolith suddenly backhands Blood Hog # 3 into a pillar, killing him. The creature then wraps the chains around its arm and throws his arms and the Blood Hog into the wall before running off. In the entrance hall, Blaine begins to panic.

Blaine: Oh, man....oh, man...we're fucked...we're so fucked....I can't-we gotta get out of here!

Killen: (quietly) Blaine, shut up!

Blaine: Fuck you, Killen!

The Living Monolith hears Blaine's voice through the walls.

Blaine: I'm getting the fuck out here! Move! Fuck this shit!

Blaine runs off to the hall.

Dante: (quietly) Blaine!

Colin: (quietly) Blaine! Goddamn it! Get back here now! Blaine!

Blaine runs into the other end of the hall, before the Living Monolith bursts through the wall. Blaine attempts to shoot at the creature, but is grabbed by the Living Monolith. The gunfire is heard and seen as Blaine's gun is seen sliding on the floor. Blaine crawls and grabs the gun, shooting at the creature, but bones and flesh is heard cracking and squishing. Blaine, in pain, looks at Dante, Killen, Walter, and Colin, who are still, but with horrified looks on their faces.

Blaine: Help me.

Blaine is pulled and on a shadow on the left wall, The Living Monolith is seen pulling Blaine apart as blood splatters on the wall. His head is thrown onto the floor.

Killen: Oh my god....

Walter: (quietly) Okay...maybe Blaine was right...we are fucked...

Colin: (quietly) We are not fucked....we just have to find a way to get pass this thing...

Dante: (quietly) Or kill it...

Walter: (quietly) Kill it? You saw what that thing just did to Blaine?! How the fuck will our bullets and my arrows penetrate that body?!

Killen: (quietly) what about this? 

Killen presents Gods Fist Weapon.

Killen: This thing is just as hot as the sun...and deadly as nuclear bombs...this may be the only thing that can kill it....

Walter: (quietly) Okay, do you have a plan that doesn't involve getting us killed with this whole damn building falling on us?!

Dante: (quietly) We can get it outside....It's safer...

Killen: (quietly) All right...Dante....I'm going to need you to help me...I need you to help me lure this thing outside...

Dante: (quietly) What?! I support your plan, but that doesn't mean I gotta fucking go with you on a suicide mission!

Killen: (quietly) Dante....I just need you to lure her outside...and I'll do the rest...besides, it'll be fun....

Dante: (quietly) Fuck...all right...

Killen: (quietly) Thank you...you guys can go search for the medicine...
