Count Down To Xtinction III

Strum waited at the docks with Dusty a survivor they found. Dusty was in a mall when they found him. He was will his brother, they had hid in the Janitors closet. Sturm looked over the water scanning it for a moment till he saw a boat in the distance. Pulled out binoculars and peered at the boat. He saw Izzy Rebecca and another Wolf on it. Sturm got out his walkie talkie.

"Hey Rain, Izzy is here." He said

"Alright, the boarding docks over here are clear, signal them to bring in the boat."

"alright"

He waved to them and pointed towards the Boarding docks. He used his binoculars and saw Izzy waved back & nod. He ran over to where Rain was. And got there as Izzy docked the boat. Dusty looked in the boat and saw quite a few guns and lots of ammunition.

" so, is Tokyo safe or is it infected?"

Sturm sighed.

"it was safe till a day ago, now Zombies are here and the Sharks and such in the water have been turned into Xenomorphs."

Izzy cursed and unstrapped his shotgun. he cocked it and then pulled another gun out and tossed it to Dusty.

"don't shoot your foot off." He said.

Dusty smiled slightly. Humor was always welcome. It helped them forget about the Danger of being around the Zombies and Xenomorph. Rebecca stepped onto the docked & went over to Rain who was reloading her gun.

"hi! I've missed you so much!"

said Rebecca as she hugged Rain.

Rain smiled and cocked her gun.

"missed you too, how was New Jersey?"

Rebecca sighed. "Don't ask, it was full of assholes."

Rain laughed. "Yeah ,that's Jersey for ya."

Rebecca gestured at the wolf that was collecting the ammo from the boat.

"this is Wolfenstein, I met him in the airport in New York."

Rain held out a hand & Wolfenstein shook it roughly.

"nice to meet you, what's your name?" asked Wolfenstein.

"it's Rain, and nice to meet you to." Rain gave Wolfenstein a warm smile but they all had to leave because the heard the loud screeched of an Alien nearby. They went to a mall that was full of Survivors. Zombies & Xenomorphs had bitten some, so they were quarantined in a furniture store. The security guards of the Mall were happy to be of help to the people & did their best to make them feel at home. They kept the doors locked and people on the roof to keep track of Zombie or Alien movement. Some had formed hunting parties to look for survivors outside of the mall. Rain was assigned to be leader of the parties. Sturm was in charge of everyone & made Izzy & Wolfenstein 2nd &3rd in command. A little kid walked about with Rebecca he had been bitten by a Zombie and his hand was bandaged & bloody. She sat with him by a coffee shop and they looked around the place.

"so, where is your mom or dad?" asked Rebecca.

The kid looked at her sadly. She then knew what that meant.

"Oh, I.. I'm so sorry, if there is anything I can do to help you just say okay."

The kid nodded. "okay & my name is Zeke by the way."

Rebecca smiled at Zeke and looked up. Izzy and Wolfenstein were talking to each other but she couldn't hear what they were saying. She looked over at Sturm who was sitting with one of the security guards. Rain was off with a party looking for survivors & Dusty of course getting something to eat. Things looked bright for the future but She still Wondered what had happened to Valentine.

{New York, NY}

Valentine leaned against a wall and watched a group of zombies ripped apart a mans chest. He smiled bitterly and looked around the beast that had been with him earlier was destroying parked cars. He had been in New York for too long & knew it was time to spread his precious Virus elsewhere. He then whistled for the beast and it obediently came over.

"My pet I want you to sniff out & kill Izzy and all the others I'm going to head to my Bio Lab in Australia, and afterwards to Africa. Meet me there when your done."

The beast grunted and sniffed the air. It ran towards the Atlantic & jumped into the freezing water Valentine went to where he had hidden a Chopper & got in. he flew off into the distant sky.

The beast dunked under water and came up then took in a deep breath as it slowly had Gills form on its neck. It had a fresh scent of Rebecca from when she jumped on him. It dunked under and as its fingers and toes became webbed it swam faster & faster.

{Somewhere in the Atlantic}

Larry sat in his boat waiting for the shark to make its next move he wanted to get back to Tokyo before dark but it seemed that he would not. The shark rammed the boat and then tried to wrapped its tentacles around it. Larry cut them with his knife & then turned on the boats motor & drove off. The shark swam after him but then he pulled out his rifle and shot at the beast. The water where the shark was calmed and blood red. Larry let out a sigh of relief and head to Japan witch he could see the outline of in the distance.

Rebecca sat at a table with Zeke and ate some pizza. Wolfenstein had joined them for a while but he was called to go onto the roof and kill zombies. All of a sudden they wee all over the place, and the numbers were growing rapidly. She was Worried and wished they would all disappear. But there was no way to stop the ever growing army of undead & Xenomorph. Bu8t the only thing that was good id the Zombies also tried to kill the aliens.

"you okay?" asked Zeke, looking at her with a concerned expression.

Rebecca nodded. "just a little worried that's all."

Zeke smiled at her, & got then hugged her.

"things will turn out okay, I promise."

Rebecca hugged hum back & smiled. Just then Sturm came running past them & Rebecca looked at him.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Dusty is trapped in a car outside!" said Sturm.

Rebecca watched Sturm run to one of the doors & then Wolfenstein came soon after. Then Sturm opened the doors and they ran out guns blazing. The zombies tried to get inside but Rain quickly shut the doors. Sturm and Wolfenstein killed the zombie that got in their way and quickly made it to Dusty. He was bleeding badly and had many bites all over his body. Wolfenstein picked him up & Sturm killed zombies as they made their way back to the mall. Before the doors were opened Dusty suddenly sank his teeth into Wolfenstein's shoulder. He pulled dusty off him & dropped him onto the ground they got into the mall & looked out at Dusty. He got up and his face looked bloody and pale. His eyes black with only faint reddish glow in them. He hissed and punched the glass door. It cracked and they backed up and aimed their guns. Dusty punched again breaking a hole into the door.

"He's breaking in!" Yelled Sturm.

He watched with the other s as several other zombies looked at Dusty then joined in and started to slowly break the door.

"shit!" said Wolfenstein.

Thinking quickly Rain grabbed a board and put it over the door. Then she backed up and stood by Wolfenstein. She looked at the wound on his arm and then looked up at his face.

"you going to be okay?" she asked.

Wolfenstein nodded keeping his hand over the wound to try and stop it from bleeding. Rain took him to the Furniture, and bandaged his wound. Wolfenstein looked around most of the people there looked like they were really sick. It was odd that a few days ago they were just fine. Rain left and wolfenstein stared around more. He wondered what was happening. He shook his head feeling a bit numb. He walked out to join Sturm on the roof. When he got there Sturm was standing by the edge staring down at Dusty. Wolfenstein went up to him & smiled.

"you okay?"

"yea, its just Dusty was a real old friend of mine, & I'm gonna miss him."

Sturm sighed and Wolfenstein put a paw on his shoulder. Sturm looked at him.

"hows your arm?" he asked.

"it hurts but it should be fine."

Sturm nodded. "Well its getting dark , & I'm tired so ill see you in the morning."

Sturm went inside & went to his bed which was only a pile of blankets. He laid down and soon fell asleep.

‘ Sturm stood in the middle of New York & his gun all laid in front of him. The bodies of Rain, Rebecca, Wolfenstein, & Izzy all laid in front of him ripped to shreds. He looked up from the corpses & saw Valentine. Valentine smiled bitterly then laughed.

"So, you are in Japan? Good, My pet is on its way to finish you off, hope you can defend yourself." Valentine said his eyes now glowing with a silver aura.

"What...am I doing here?" asked Sturm.

"you are sleeping this is a dream. But you will be dreaming eternally soon enough."

Sturm looked back at his guns then quickly reached for one. All of them then melted into a silver liquid, & Valentine was laughing.

"What's so funny?" Yelled Sturm.

"You! You think you can kill me, but don't know what your up against." Valentine paused for a moment then a silver ball of Aura glow in his hand.

"I am indestructible, and I have planned for this to happen years before you even thought of your Beloved Friends..."

Sturm ran at Valentine and punched him. Valentine chuckled evilly.

"you are a pathetic excuse for a living being. I will be honored to end your life myself."

"then where the hell are you?" snapped Sturm bitterly.

"I am in Australia, A bio lab I have there....Hurry and come to me my friend....but before you go..." Valentine smiled & a silver wave of energy froze Sturm in his place.

Valentine met face to face with him, then kissed him. Feeling Valentines tongue in his mouth Sturm tried to move but he was paralyzed. He could only let Valentine press his lips against his muzzle. Valentine broke the kiss then smiled.

"With this kiss I give you my Curse..."'

Sturm awoke breathing heavily and his whole body burning uncontrollably. He tried to move but it pained him too much. The Burning getting worse Sturm let out a scream of Agony, and it echoed through the mall. Wolfenstein & Rebecca came running to him. Rebecca bent down and put her paws on his shoulders.

"Sturm! What's wrong?" she asked worried.

"My body....it burns...ba..." Sturm whimpered again as a fresh wave of fierce heat swept through his body.

His mind then clouded and he collapsed unconscious. The last thing he saw was Rebecca leaning over him with an expression of fear over her face.....
