Alright, you people screwed up big time.
I wanna cry...:cry: lolz Anyway, there will be some casualties that you will read about, but not in this update. Most likely in the next. So just enjoy this little update and get ready to make more decisions in the future. The story is almost over, maybe three more choices and it's done, but that could still be five updates. And I still need to pm Nerdy these last choices before I can proceed with giving you peeps new choices.
Anyway...
The loud explosion had made the team come out of the store, weapons at the ready to be fired. To their surprise, the storm was gone, replaced by some weird-looking, flashing sky shield. At least that's what the four of them believed the web-like surface above them to be.
"What the..." Rainy said, surely in awe as were the other three. "What the hell is that?"
"Don't know," Corporal Tatl replied in all seriouness. "Looks to be serious business, though. We have to move. We have to get back to base."
"Corporal!" it was Magatha's voice that stole everyone's attention from the sky shield to her. "Look!"
And the corporal and the other two soldiers turned to stare in the direction that Magatha was pointing at. A dark cloud of smoke could be seen in the far distance right near the area where the army headquarters had been. They could see it well thanks to the infravision that their helmet goggles afforded.
"Oh my god," Beast covered his mouth with both his hands, surely terrified. "That's...the base..."
"I think...we just lost Home," Rainy fell on her knees, surely shocked and hurt. The medic had had so many friends back there, and now, it appeared that she had lost them all. The others shared in her pain and sorrow, for they too, had had friends back at the base.
Silence ensued for a while, and Magatha felt sorry for the medic that she had to go help her get up.
"It's alright, Rainy," she soothed. "It's alright. We'll get them back, whoever did this!"
At this time, the Corporal snapped out of her shock and shouted that they needed to move, surely spurred on by Magatha's words.
"We must go and see what can be done," Corporal Tatl cried. "Climb aboard that humvee and let's get the hell out of here! Magatha, you mount that SM-44 and shoot any Uglies we encounter."
"You got it, Corporal," the blonde girl moved toward the humvee right away. She actually had been mounting a similar weapon on a humvee right before the zombies had ambushed them, and so Tatl had believed that she was the right one for the job.
"Beast," the Corporal went on. "You're the best driver out here. You drive."
Beast nodded and got moving toward the humvee right away. The Corporal stared at the medic then.
"Come on, Rainy. Let's go!"
She had to help her, for the medic was surely stunned about what had happened. The corporal got her onboard at the back and she hopped at the passenger side and told Beast to drive.
