The Fall Chapter 1

"What the hell was that?" Tom was startled, Liz was shaking a bit and Ben was trying to calm her down.

"We have to check that out." Chris had been curious enough to go look.

Chris saw the battle outside through a war-torn window that was charred with fire. A few citizens had come up with the idea of protecting their side of their apartments.

Chris saw Matt, Edd, Nick and a few other citizens defending their room from their own windows. They weren't holding up very well. Chris was really pissed that this had to happen to everyone...except the Combine so he just jumped down through the window.

"Chris, what the FUCK are you doing?"

Chris didn't reply, he just ran and shot a few zombies along the way with one magazine of the custom USP Match he had taken with him. Tom went down after him with his modified MP7A1 and started covering him.

Chris was going to save his other friends no matter what. It was all he had left.

Meanwhile, Matt, being the guy who was competitive, kept shooting most of the zombies and saying his kills out loud. Edd was facepalming while shooting due to him getting frustrated with Matt's remarks. Nick and Pete were shooting all that went through the cade.

"Yeah, you fucking like that, eat this motherfucker!"

"Matt, just shut up."

The spraying sounds of the modified MP7A1's gunfire was enough to alert them of other survivors.

"Matt, Edd? You alright?"

Chris was bolting up the stairs followed by Tom who was shooting whatever zombie Chris had missed.

"Yeah, we're so totally fine, Get the FUCK over here!"

The barricade broke down and Chris heard the splintering of wood and some screams. He ran as fast as he can toward the scene and all he saw was blood, gore, some human remains and his friends jumping off the window.

"Oh fucking come on!"

Chris and Tom ran back down and met up with Matt, Nick, Edd and Pete...along with the few other survivors.

"There's no time for introductions! Where's your place, Chris?" Nick explained.

Nick had short bright hair, a one-of-a-kind mustache, blue eyes and the local C17 uniform. Pete was bald, had no hair whatsoever and brown eyes. Matt had ginger hair, a broad chin and a scar from long ago. Pete was tall and had blond hair with a brown mustache.

"Ummm errrr, my place is right behind me."

They all slowly walked and watched out for any zombies. There weren't any so Chris was curious if they were taking breaks.

They then introduced the random citizens with them.

"Chris, Tom, This is Frank and Majors."

Chris and Tom were introduced to a very young man and an old guy in his 40s and had an iconic mustache and beard. They then rested, cleaned their guns and rested however they could.

Somewhere else, a scream echoed...
