Furry search engine

formerly SoFurry search engine

The town was still unusually vacant and quiet, the group had made it all the way to central square and had not run into any interference.

"Where are they?" Chris asked.

"Ambush?" Exile interjected.

"Hope not......" Hunter said.

There was still enough light out to push on without flash lights, so that was a plus, that way there wouldn't draw any unnecessary attention.

"Hey guys, do you think we can...you know...pay our respects?" Hunter asked hesitantly.

Keith looked at Chris and Jill, they both nodded.

"Sure, but remember we still need to move quickly." Jill said.

Hunter and Exile nodded, and went over to the stage, it was still covered in blood. The two canines bowed their heads and just prayed silently, bidding farewell to their beloved master.

Chris nudged Keith to go over and join them, "Go on dude, they need you."

Keith smiled and padded over to where they were. He placed his arms around their shoulders and bowed his head. The two brothers wrapped their arms around Keith's shoulders and nuzzled him gently, showing their appreciation.

"We love you...." They whispered.

"I love ya'll too...let's get going."

All three nodded and we re-fueled with passion to fight on. The group proceeded through the vacant town, but as soon as they were drawing closer to the weapon's facility, they started encountering some enemies.

"Hide!" Chris ordered. They all separated and hid in various places, and began checking out the area. The military base was a large warehouse surrounded by various vehicles, tanks, etc. Chris also noticed there were a couple of turrets in two guard towers. The area itself was crawling with the infected townsfolk, 200 at the most, but the area was well spread out and had some places for good cover.

"All right guys here's the plan. We use stealth here, take out the only the enemies that we need to, and stick to knife play and melee. We'll have to separate, but we won't completely be apart, we'll just be parallel to each other. Stay in a straight line as much as possible, and follow my lead. Look for cover, and avoid those searchlights. Jill and I, and you three will make up the parties. Ready?"

"Ready." they all radioed.

They all went into a running crouch with their knives drawn and ready. They all crouched near the gated entrance, one party on each side.

"Stay low, and crawl under the vehicles, stay quiet." Chris whispered.

Chris waved to move out, and the party began crawling under the vehicles. The parties were directly parallel to each other, so they could still see each other easly. The villagers were talking and bantering like normal people would, not hissing and groaning like one of the many creatures he faced in the past.

But they're not what they seem.......

The parties stopped in intervals to let villagers past and to avoid detection, then they ran out of vehicles.

"Chris what now?" Keith whispered into the radio.

"I'm thinking......" Chris replied.

Chris surveyed the perimeter, they were about ten yards from the entrance, which was heavily guarded.

That's out.....vent's or a stairwell?

Chris looked around, there was a stairwell leading to the roof, and hopefully a vent. The searchlights were becoming a real problem, since they primarily swept over the entrance and the stairwell frequently.

"There's a stairwell on the right side of the warehouse but we need to take out those searchlights, but if we do that it'll alert the entire camp. It looks lie we'll have to create some sort of distraction......" Chris replied.

Everyone was silent for a little while, then Hunter spoke up. "Keith although my powers have gone somewhat dormant, I am still quicker than all of you. Have Exile take out the two towers with an RPG, then once things start heating up, I'll provide the distraction. The rest of you work on getting the entrance open, trust me I'll be fine."

"Are you crazy Hunter?! Do you remember what those things did to you? I'm not going to lose you!" Keith whispered loudly.

"You have a better idea?" He asked.

Keith said nothing, he was right, there were no other options at this point.

"Chris? You okay with this?" Keith radioed.

Chris was silent then said "I'm not totally comfortable with it, but he does raise a good point, he is faster than all of us. Hunter, were counting on you! Exile do it!"

Exile loaded his grenade launcher with an RPG then aimed at one of the towers.

"Say goodnight....." he whispered.

Poof! BOOM! The first tower disintegrated, the second did the same. An alarm sounded, and the entire camp was scrambling around.

"Hunter go!" Chris ordered.

Hunter ran out into the open, and he was immediately spotted. The villagers began running after Hunter all throughout the camp, his speed just barely keeping them out of their clutches.

"Move!" Chris shouted. There were a few villagers encountered along the way to the door, but were quickly subdued by headshots and assorted attacks. They reached the door and there was a keypad that needed to be cracked.

"Leave it to me! Cover me boys!" Jill said taking out a small PDA.

The three began to secure a small perimeter around the entrance, taking out a few villagers here and there. A majority of them were still after Hunter, but he was slowly running out of steam.

"Guys! I can't keep this up forever! Hurry up with that door!" Hunter panted through the radio.

"Hold on! Just a little longer buddy!" Keith shouted in to the radio. "Jill! How much longer?!"

"Just a few more minutes! This thing is hard to crack!" she said.

The villagers were starting to catch on, and more of them were starting to come their way.

"Damn! These things are starting to catch on!" Chris said round house kicking a group of enemies away.

"Urggh! Comrade Valentine! How much longer?" Exile shouted pushing away a villager then straight punching him.

"Damn! My PDA shorted out! Were gonna have to head for the stairwell! Run!" she shouted.

"Hunter! Abort! Run to the stairwell! Do you copy?!" Keith radioed.

"I need your help guys! I'm giving it all I have, but they just keep coming! Aughhh!" Hunter transmitted.

"Hunter?! Come on guys! We have too...."

STOMP! SHAKE! "What the?!" Chris shouted.

They all turned their eyes to the source, it was a huge giant, once human, now transformed into something......monstrous. The creature began destroying everything in it's path, villagers, vehicles, and with every step it shook the earth.

"What in the.....?" Exile started.

"It's a variant of one of those giant creatures in the Kennedy report, except this one is a lot faster, stronger, and smarter." Jill said.

"Where's Hunter?! " Keith exclaimed. "We have to...."

"I'm right here buddy." Hunter said.

"I managed to get out of there while the villagers were distracted by that thing. What do we do now?!"

"We fight, we can't outrun that thing, and I think it has a weakpoint. Take a look at its back." Chris said pointing.

There was a large wound where is seems the parasite was infested at, and Chris explained if they the creature enough, it would emerge so they can attack it directly.

"But do we have enough ammo?" Jill asked.

"Use the vehicles as exploding barrels. Aim for the gas tanks once it gets near one. The force should be sufficient enough to draw the parasite out, other than that try to conserve, but aim for the head!" Chris ordered.

The villagers were pretty much wiped out by now, so all that was left was the team and the monster.

"Spread out! Let's do it!" Chris shouted.

They all ran in separate directions, and drew their weapons. They all fired rapidly, and the creature came to a vehicle that was within Hunter's range.

"I've got it!" he shouted. He took aim at the gas tank, and fired. It exploded in pure brilliance, engulfing the beast. The creature roared, and began to hold its head and bend over. The parasite protruded out of it's back.

"Good job Hunter! Now everyone aim....." Chris began.

"Wait everyone! All of your shots won't hit, and that'll waist ammo!" Hunter shouted.

"I'll jump on its back and slash at it with my knife! These things seem to be susceptible to physical attacks anyway. Trust me!" he radioed.

What they saw next was amazing, he jumped on the creature's back and began slashing rapidly at the parasite! What's more, he was right! The parasite was indeed susceptible! Eventually the creature caught on and threw Hunter off, who rolled neatly on the ground and got back up.

"Good job Hunter! Everyone follow.....OH SHIT!!!!!" Chris shouted.

All of the sudden a vehicle was flying at him, and he ran to the right and rolled out of the way just in time.

"It also seems to enrage it as well! Be ready for anything guys!" The creature roared and began it's rampage on the team, throwing, chasing, and attempting to stomp the life out of them. The team fought and dodged accordingly, then another chance opened up.

"I've got it! Exile shouted.

He aimed at the tank near the monster and fired, engulfing the creature once again. The parasite revealed itself once again, and Exile leaped onto its back, slashing rapidly. All of the sudden the creature grabbed Exile and began to squeeze the life out of him! "HELP ME!" Exile shouted.

"I'm coming!" Keith shouted.

Keith took out his AR and fired on the creatures arms, hoping that would help release his trapped friend. The creature roared and then threw Exile at Keith, nailing him hard and throwing him at least 15 feet.

"OOOOOOOOF!" he shouted in pain as Exile hit him. The two rolled over top each other, and eventually stopped. Surprisingly though, they were still conscious, but barely.

"KEITH! EXILE!" the three conscious fighters shouted.

"I'm coming! Augghhhh!" Hunter shouted.

The creature had slapped him and sent him flying into a wall, nearly knocking him unconscious.

"Jill! Go for Exile and Keith! I got Hunter, go now!" he ordered.

She nodded while Chris began firing on the creature, trying to distract it so she could get to her teammates.

Come on guys! Hold on!

Jill pulled out a needle and stuck Keith, then Exile, bringing them both back to reality. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"Fine....thanks Jill." Keith replied.

"Thank you comrade Valentine." Exile said.

"Anything broken?" she asked.

They both shook their heads, and they ran back into the fight. Chris was having a hard time getting to Hunter, it's as if the creature knew he was going to revive Hunter!

This thing is smart! Man!

"Hold on Hunter!" Chris shouted.

Hunter was barely holding himself up, it looked like he was going to go at any minute. The creature roared loudly and swung at Chris, but he quickly rolled out of the way. BOOM! The creature was struck by a frag, and the creature reeled a bit.

"Go comrade! Save Hunter! We'll distract it!" Exile shouted.

Chris ran over to Hunter, and picked him up from around the shoulders, then stuck him with a needle.

"Hang on buddy!" Chris shouted. Hunter slowly began to come to, and he eventually came out of his dark trance.

"Thanks....." Hunter said.

They quickly rejoined the fight against the creature, aiming for the head. The creature leaned over and the parasite came out once again.

"Here I go!" Keith shouted.

Keith leaped up on the monster, and slashed away. With one final go, the parasite finially gave out. Keith leaped off the back, and landed smoothly on his feet. The creature roared loudly one last time, and with a giant thud that shook the earth, it finially died. The group fell to the ground exhausted and panted rapidly, trying to recover.

"Good job everyone! Especially you guys! I'm really impressed on how you handled that creature effectively. On your first major encounter too!" Chris praised.

The three canines were blushing and chuckling a little from their leader's praise.

"Great job boys, I'm really proud of you too. Let's save the celebration for later though, lets get into the base and restock." Jill said.

They all nodded and headed toward the stairwell to the roof, making sure the creature was dead by keeping a close eye on the area. They got up onto the roof where a chopper was, but that would have to wait, they needed ammo first. They discovered a door with stairs leading down, and the cautiously proceeded in. The eventually made it into the main part of the facility, it was nothing special. It was just a large room with various weapons and ammo scattered around the area, typical arab weapon storage. What was creepy there was no one here, or at least it seemed like.

"You three hear any movement?" Chris asked.

The three perked their ears and listened, then shook their heads.

"Well keep your guard up, you never know....." Jill said.

They proceeded down the steps and bgan digging through the stored munitions. They eventually found all they needed, then headed back up to the chopper without incident.

"That was too easy." Hunter said. "No creatures, no self destruct sequence, nothing!"

"You sound disappointed." Exile chuckled.

"Yeah, it's pretty sad once you get used to these types of things." Hunter laughed. T

he entire group laughed a little, only to be interrupted by a huge external explosion.

"What the?!" the group exclaimed.

They looked over the edge and the creature had resurrected, only it was a lot more powerful this time around.

"Quick! To the chopper!" Jill shouted.

They got to the chopper, and Chris revved it up.

"Come on!" he shouted at the thing.

The chopper came to life, and the building shook once more.

"Hurry Chris! The thing is going to climb up here!" Keith shouted.

The chopper lifted into the air, and the creature just barely missed the tail.

"Phew....." Hunter sighed. "Ahhhhhh!"

Suddenly an explosion came from below, and slowly but surely it began to engulf the entire city, leaving no trace.

"Well comrade you got your wish!" Exile said.

"Yeah....great." Hunter sarcastically replied.

Keith looked out the window, just like that another city wiped of the map. He was surprised it affected him still, despite all that he'd been through. Jill and Chris were silent, they were busy focusing on finding the Umbrella facility, moreover any incoming attacks. The group fell silent for a little while, then Keith spoke up. "How long till we get to the facility?"

"About another hour." Chris replied. "Try and get some rest everyone, you're gonna need it."

They all nodded and sat back in their seat. The chopper had a seat for three in the back, then two seats up front for the pilot and co-pilot. Keith and the others leaned back in their seats, and shut their eyes, trying to at least rest them for the trials to come. Keith felt Hunter's head rest on his shoulder, and he gently rubbed his face, causing him to sigh a little in his sleep. Exile was leaning against the window and was snoring lightly, and Keith reached over and rubbed his head fur gently, then gripped his hand.

Get some rest guys, you've earned it.

Jill looked back and just smiled, Keith smiled back. Jill had never seen her boy so happy before, she was so proud he found some guys to bond with. She looked over at Chris and touched his shoulder; he looked at her and smiled. She had a whole new family despite all she had been through, and for once in a long time, she was happy. She leaned back in her seat, and fell asleep. Chris looked at Jill, and smiled, she was so beautiful, and he loved her so much. They had been through so much together, and he knew they would be together forever. He looked in the rearview mirror at Keith, and was touched at the sight he saw. Hunter had laid his head on Keith's shoulder, and was sleeping soundly. While Exile was holding Keith's paw while he slept. Keith himself was wide awake, keeping a silent watch over his newfound brothers. He turned and nodded at Keith, and Keith nodded back. He was happy Chris accepted him the way he was, and how he supported him as well. They all were silent for awhile, when Chris woke them up.

"There it is." He simply said.

Keith looked out the window, and looked at the facility. It was a typical chemical plant setting, but something was different, it wasn't Umbrella....it was a Tricell factory!

"Tricell?" Keith asked.

"They're a new pharmaceutical company that emerged and bought Umbrella out....." Jill said.

"Other than that....we know nothing about them. So now we have a new enemy....." Hunter and Exile looked at each other, they had truly gotten themselves into a nightmare, one that went down farther than they could ever predict. They didn't care though, they had Keith and each other, and as long as that was there, that's all they needed. They squeezed Keith's shoulders, and Keith looked at them and smiled. They would survive this and live on together, fighting or in peace. The chopper landed in a vacant field about a mile out, and the group got out of the chopper. "You guys ready?" Chris asked the group. They all nodded and followed him to the facility, completely unaware their destiny awaited them ahead.

He's here.....I feel it. The man behind all of this......the lies, destruction, everything. This is it, our last stand.
