CDX: Valentines Curse

Sturm was laid on a bed in the furniture store, Rain sat by him stroking his head softly. He had been unconscious for three days & showed no sign of waking. Rain and the others were all worried and didn't know what had happened to him. Last thing they had found out is he felt like he was burning. Rebecca came up & Tapped Rains Shoulder. Rain looked at her.

"You should get some sleep Wolfenstein says he'll keep an eye on him okay?"

Rain nodded & walked off with Rain. Wolfenstein came to Sturms side after a few minutes & looked at his face. It had a blank expression, no pain, or misery could be seen on it. Only a shallow expression of death. Wolfenstein looked around the room. No one was awake but they all seemed to be getting paler each day. He looked back down at Sturm & sighed. If they couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, he could die, & he had had enough of seeing death & violence. He just wished it would all end. He leaned back in his chair and dozed a bit.

‘ Sturm walked the empty streets following Valentine and they seemed to be getting along just fine.

"So, you never knew your parent?" asked Sturm.

Valentine nodded. "Yes, and these Xenomorph raised me, & I promised them the world so now I have given it to them."

Sturm felt sorry for Valentine. Not knowing your parents could be a hard life to live. And he knew what Valentine was feeling.

"Oh, & Sturm?"

"Yea?" he asked.

"I want you to join me, I don't want to kill you leave them I will be here for you. Waiting in my labs. My Curse can also be a blessing. It gives you unmatched strength, unlimited intelligence and much more, if you join me we cou..."

"Valentine I....I can't I don't even know how to wake up I'm in a sort of trance."

Valentine looked at Sturm.

"Just say you will join me, and promise you will be truthful to your word...and you will awaken."

Sturm kept silent for a long moment, then he sighed & looked up at Valentine. He had now a silver aura surrounding his body.

"Alright, I...I promise I'll join you when I wake up."

Valentine smiled and sent a wave of silver energy towards Sturm.

"Then awaken, & come to me my friend." ‘

Sturm awoke and looked at the ceiling. His head ached & his body was sore but to his surprise it didn't burn. He turned his head and looked at Wolfenstein who had fell asleep in a chair next to his bed. He tried to speak but his voice was shrill and raspy. He got out of the bed and looked around the room. No one was around so he walked to where his guns were and grabbed his shotgun. Then he went up to the roof and stared down at the zombies that were below. They moaned & moved violently seeming to urge Sturm to come down. He turned away to leave then he heard Valentines voice in his head.

"Shed your fear & let the dead be your guide."

He turned back & gazed down once more. He closed his eyes and let himself fall off the top of the mall. He was caught by the zombies below who set him down & stepped back as he got up. Sturm looked at them all as they stared silently at him with mindless hunger in their eyes. One of them groaned & urged him to follow so Sturm walked away from the mall with the Zombie. It led him to a dock on which a boat was docked. He got in & the zombie wandered off. The boat started with no trouble. Sturm looked back in the direction of the mall. & Then to the ocean ahead of him. He took a deep breath then went off heading into what could be a trap or a new beginning.

(somewhere in Japan)

The beast Valentine had sent merged out of the water & looked around snuffing the air. It picked up Izzy's scent & ran into the direction his scent came from. It was faint but still strong enough for it too track him. He ran with great speed towards its destination & snorted as it kicked up dust. The beast stopped at Tokyo city limits and stared at the town.

"where the hell could he have gone?" asked Rebecca.

Izzy shrugged. "don't know, he couldn't have just left the mall the zombie would've killed him."

Wolfenstein walked up to them & Put a paw on Izzy's shoulder.

"well guess we should take a break, he's gone & there is nothing we can do unless he comes back."

Izzy nodded & went with Wolfenstein back downstairs. Rebecca watched them & as they went down Zeke came up to see her. Rebecca smiled slightly at Zeke.

"so, what have you been up to all day?" she asked.

"nothing much, just been worried about Sturm and the others that were injured."

Rebecca looked back out to where the zombies were and saw something that looked very familiar running towards the mall. She tried to get a better looked at it then she heard it screeched. She nearly fell backwards when it did.

"tâ€"that's the beast from New York!!!" she yelled

Zeke backed up & ran inside with Rebecca following close behind. They told Izzy rain and the others what was coming and they nearly choked.

"Fuck!! What the hell is it doing in Japan?!" asked Izzy.

"No matter we have to kill it before all these...." Rain stopped talking when they heard a lot of moaning coming from the furniture store. They looked back towards it and saw all the people in it had become zombies. They all backed up and they felt a wall behind them.

"F-f-f-fuck we're screwed!!!"

The zombies drew closer and closer with each step. Izzy Rain, wolfenstein all pulled out there guns. Izzy shot one threw the chest but it kept going at them. He then threw a grenade and they followed the wall towards a door. Izzy kicked it open and most of the zombies had been killed, outside. They looked around and saw the beast standing a few feet away.

"damn I hoped it would be out of sight of us!" said Izzy.

The beast walked closer to them, and they watched as it did. Izzy cursed & pulled out a grenade then ran at the beast.

"Fuck you, I'm not letting you kill my friends!!!"

Izzy then jumped at the beast with a grenade in one hand & hunting knife in the other. He got onto the beasts back & stabbed its spine. The beast screeched angrily and tried to grab Izzy, but he was out of its reach.

"say goodnight!!!" yelled Izzy.

He pulled out the pin to the grenade & shoved it into the knife wound. He jumped off the beasts back but he's was then caught by its tentacles. Izzy screamed in pain as it crushed his ankle & then the grenade went off and everything went black with smoke....
