project x (pt 3) the calm before the storm
#4 of Project X
The 3 were sitting at the couch in Rex's apartment watching the super bowl. The T.V. was blaring and the room was full of life. The small room with the small TV being the only light wasn't the fanciest environment but, everyone seemed to be having fun. "And Johnson starts running in for the touchdown and he is at the 50 yard mark he is going, going gone. Can you believe that the colts have done it again." said the announcer. "Hey, he looks kind of sick man, see look at him he looks green." Rex said concerned. "Yeah he does" Feedback said. "No seriously he's all hunched over and he really looks like he's hurting." Rex replied. "Oh yeah, damn he does." Feedback agreed. "Will he be all right" Foxtrott said concerned. "I'm Shure he'll be all right oh and I think the pizza's here." Rex said hearing a car door shut. "Just as I get comfortable." Feedback said. The door opened and it was a lizard dressed in red cargo shorts a red baseball cap and a red tee-shirt. "Hey Foxtrott you have the tip?" Feedback asked. "Uh yeah, I think, hold on and, got it." Foxtrott said pulling out his wallet handing the lizard a five dollar bill. The lizard smiled a toothy grin and thanked them walking away leaving the pizzas on the table. "Now it's a party" Foxtrott said staring at the pizza. "Hell yeah it is." Rex said opening the box. "Cheers to another year together as friends and uh you guys more than friends" Feedback said putting his slice of pizza out joining the others touching the 3 slices together.
"Hey look at the announcer he's starting to really look bad." Feedback said. "Oh dude the people in the background are starting to throw up." Rex said. The three were now sitting in shock watching the people bleeding and throwing up dyeing in the seats having. "Oh my god people are dying" said Foxtrott. "Holy shit they're starting to get up their alive but their dead what the hell."
Feedback said. All of the sudden they heard a loud band and felt a shockwave blow out the windows turning the power out. "Holy shit check this out." Rex yelled. "Their sending planes into the mix and bombing people fuck!" Rex yelled. "How far is the stadium from here?" Rex said. "Uh it's not that far from here maybe 10 miles." Feedback said. Another explosion rattled the house making the ground shake. "That was closer than ten miles man" Foxtrott said concerned. Yet another explosion destroyed a house nearby making the house rock harder than before. "Fuck we've gotta get out of here." Rex yelled. "Ok I've got some gas masks thank god my dad's a painter" Rex said handing everyone a mask. "Thanks man you saved my ass" Feedback said taking it gratefully. "Hey man thanks you're a life saver". Foxtrott also said "Everyone c'mon guys grab everything you can." Rex yelled throwing a backpack at the others.
Foxtrott ran up to his house grabbing some stuff and his favorite clothes in the bag and grabbed his dad's machete from the shed. Rex ran to his room and took a few weapons from the room, a wooden bat and a machete and ran down to the stairs waiting for Feedback. Feedback ran to his home grabbing his katana sword. Everyone regrouped back at Foxtrott's house. "Everyone, hold on wait for my parents" Foxtrott said. "Mom, dad get outta there we've gotta go get outta the house" Foxtrott said looking at them. "Foxtrott get in here the T.V. said to stay in the basement." Foxtrott's dad said motioning him to follow. "No don't listen to them their bombing people you've gotta get the hell outta here they tell you to hide in the basement cause they're bombing us" Foxtrott yelled. "Foxtrott we've gotta get outta here c'mon" Rex yelled grabbing him by the shirt. "No not without my family." He yelled back yanking away. "Foxtrott please just come in the house with us." His mother said sincerely. "NO come with me right the hell now." Foxtrott yelled staring at them hearing the sound of jets coming closer. Rex grabbed him picking him up dragging him away. "No, not without my family." Foxtrott said staring at the house. "It's over man it's too late" Rex said his ears dropping. Foxtrott screamed out "No!" Watching the planes bomb the house turning it to a pile of rubble. "FUCK!" Foxtrott yelled crying on Rex's shoulder. " I'm so sorry" Foxtrott said softly to himself. "Let's get revenge on the fuckers that did this" Rex said strongly. Foxtrott nodded to him determined to get revenge.
"Where do we go now?" Feedback said. "I know a place." Rex said. "Whoa look at this everything looks like left for dead" Foxtrott said with tears in his eyes. "shit they have called in soldiers" Rex said punching one of them in the head then snapping his neck taking his gun. "Shit let's move." Rex yelled running as he looked down the scope shooting the soldiers killing 7 putting another clip in making the red mist. "Shit I've been hit." Foxtrott yelled grabbing his arm clenching it in pain. "Ahh die assholes." Rex yelled he crouched up behind a wall with his gun drawn and the others being him then, without and warning he sprung up and shot a soldier in the head getting brains splattered on his face. "Ahh shit that's nasty." Rex said. "Ok we're here." Rex said opening the door. One soldier was in the building and Rex ran up to the shocked troop punched his chest, and then he kneed the soldier in the gut and took out a knife stabbing his upper chest and ripping the knife down destroying the soldier making steaming guts and a pool of blood spill out from him as he fell to the ground. "Ahh what the fuck- why did this- this is disgusting" Foxtrott sputtered and puked on the floor. "C'mon we've gotta go up to the rooftops." Rex said. The three got up to the roof and stared down watching soldiers start puking and dyeing coming back from the dead and climbing on the corpuses to get up to the roof watching helicopters and planes fall out of the skies and soldiers coming up with gas masks. "Shit I can't keep them all off me." Rex said. "I'll jump down everyone save yourselves I'll go. "No don't go Feedback if you're going I'm coming too." I'm sorry I can't let you do that." Feedback said "Uhh guys I can't keep them down much longer." he said slashing another zombie. "I'm sorry goodbye" Feedback said handing Foxtrott the sword. "Don't forget me." Feedback said as he grabbed a tire iron and jumped down. "FUCK NOO!" Foxtrott yelled crying. "C'mon man all this death won't be pointless we'll make it." The two found a small patch of ground with a box of supplies abandon by the owner behind a building out of sight from the soldiers on 3 sides. The two ran to various buildings and looted corpses of soldiers finding and scavenging items they could from the wreckage. The two stared at the sky it was a red sunset with the sight of a destroyed major city buildings on fire and many twisted pieces of metal that used to be aircrafts but were destroyed by pilots dying while flying as it occurred to them that this might really be the end of humanity.
