Chapter 25 (guest writer DiseasedFreak from Newgrounds!)

Chapter 25: "You can't be serious!" Casey exclaims as he stands upon the blood-stained asphault of Eastbound 18. "It smells like shit down there!" Sgt. McNab shrugs and turns glances at Captain Bishop. The Captain frowns and looks ahead. The streets were crammed full of undead. "That's because it is shit. Look, we have to make it to that installation. Would you rather take the scenic route!?" Casey turns his head towards the chaos and replies, "I think I'll take point..." With that, he turns on his Military-Spec Angled Flashlight and attatches it to the front of his belt. Casey covers his nose with one hand as jumps down the large stormdrain. He plummits to the murky water below, splashing it up onto his combat suit. "It's clear!"The Captain followed close behind Casey, assault rifle poised for action. "It's so fuckin' dark down here!" Mack exclaims, as he carefully covers the rear of the formation. Riley turns his and replies, "It's a sewer, dammit!" Sergeant Mcnab turns, puts his finger over his lip and whispers, "Just because we're fucked doesn't mean you have any right to ignore your training. Now shut the hell up!"Casy's nerves caused him to tense up. His hands were sweating again. His hands always sweated. He could hear the water rushing beside him as he quietly walked along, leading their team deeper into the pitch-black abyss. The footsteps of the Captain softly rattled behind him. A heavy splash echoed from a few yards ahead in the tunnel. Casey's fist shot into the air, motioning for the team to stop. He raised his assault rifle closer to his head and waited. His heart began to race. The Captain slowly crept up close to Casey's back and motioned for him to back up. Casey momentarily turned his head just in time to see the Captian lob a grenade towards near the location of the noise. The grenade landed in the murky sewer water with a small spash. No more than a second later,the tunnel quakes and lights up with a very loud explosion, which echoed down the tunnel. Within the split-second grenade flash, a large figure could be seen standing in the distance. It was too big to be human...much to big.Raaaaaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!! A deep gutteral snarl quickly followed the explosion, and deep, heavy footsteps began trudging in the murky sewer streams...closer...and closer. The Captian shouts, "It's getting closer!! Shoot at it!!"Gun fire rings through the tunnel walls. The creature is once again illuminated, this time by the muzzle flashes five hot assault rifles.Bullets cut through the musty air, only to spark into the approaching creature's rough hide. Unphased by the teams onslaught, the beast continues to slowly trudge toward the team. Merely a few feet away now, Casey can make out the creature's face. Fire red eyes lightly illuminate its hideous face. Casey quickly ejects his empty magazing and crams another in it's place. Looking down at his hands, he notices that they are shaking. Quickly coming to grips with the situation, he raises his unsteady weapon up to his face and unleashes an entire 35 round clip right into the monster's fire-red eyes. As the others continue to assault with an unceasing barrage of projectiles, a small stream of red gew explodes out of the beast's hideous glowing eyes. Sparks continue to flash around its body and face, but the creature merely halts in its place.The Captain motions with his hand to cease fire, and watches in disbelief as blood pours from the eyes of the huge beast. The tunnel dims and darkness begins to shround the sewer once again.Slowly, the montster begins to sway, and eventually falls face first into the murky stream of water. A heavy pool of water shoots into the air, and settles around the creature. The murk of the water soon turns to a pale shade of red, and continues to flow back into the dark abyss.An eerie silence fills the sewer, and the Captain hesitantly steps past Casey, and slowly approaches the mysterious monster. Bishop unclips his Military-Spec Angled Flashlight and raises it over the creature.Captain Bishop slowly waves the light up and down the beast's tough, matted hide. Upon closer examimation, the Captain mutters, "Holy fuck."
