BR Extreme Fanfic Chapter 31 5:01pm E8 Trey slowly opened and slowly saw Catherine holding a gun pointed at his head, Trey slowly closed his eyes thinking that there was no way out of this, “BANG” “Trey realised that he was not dead yet, He opened his eyes to see Catherine still holding the gun, he looked the other way and noticed Simone Chambers (Female Student 2) Adam Leigh’s girlfriend in the doorway, she immediately ran out of the hospital, Trey looked back at Catherine, “Whooh deded kiiiel mmew?” said Trey who realised he was wearing a mask of some sort, “Why didn’t you kill me?” asked a weak Trey, Catherine was too afraid to speak, she was more worried that she didn’t kill Simone, and now she would be in more danger of Adam for trying to kill his girlfriend. “Catherine? Are you all right?” asked Trey “I’ll be Okay” said Cath “Ya Okay there? Replied Cath “My chest hurt’s” said Trey “Ya lucky to be alive,” “Where am I?” “Your still in the hospital and it is 5 o’clock in the evening, still on day one if you’re that delusional… ya okay ya look like ya see a ghost?” “I sorta did, I saw Mr Lynch,” said Trey “Dang ya’ll I didn’t know you had a thing for Lynch” said Cath “Huh what? Cath I’m not Gay, what I meant to say was: I saw him and he helped Realised something,” explained Trey “Realise what” “That I still love Taylor, and she still loves me, speaking of Taylor have you seen her?” “Nope sorry” “And there was something else he said: He said that there is hope that there is for those left to all go home!” “Uhh are you sure you saw him or were ya just hearing what ya wanted to hear?” Trey Paused “Now that you put it that way, I’m not sure.” He said, but if it’s true than we have to keep our spirits up and think positive. * * * Simone Immediately ran south-east of the Hospital just after running out the front door, the weapon supplied to her was a bullet proof vest, the vest took the bullet but Simone was scared out of her mind she had only one instinct right now: Run, she ran and ran and all of a sudden her feet felt like there they were stepping on needles, she looked to the ground and noticed she was walking on some thumb tack’s she was wearing currently running shoes but she had stepped on so many tack’s that the ones she was steeping on were pushing other tack’s through her shoe and into her feet, She tried to run, but the pain just got worse she fell to the ground outside all of the tack’s. She took off her shoes, there was blood coming out of her shoe’s as she took them off. Her feet had small holes in them from stepping on the tacks, she was trying her best not to scream, she too out two of her shirts in her bag and covered her feet up she just wished the pain would go away because it was so intense she couldn’t even stand up, she had hoped to make it to west side of the Island to see the Sunset one last time, but now that was out of the question, Simone started to cry, she was a sitting duck, she looked up towards the sky it had been a long time since she stopped to look at the sky, she just laid on the ground, without a care in the world just staring at the sky. Trey Lawson (Male Student 7) still alive 26 Students actually remain Chapter 32 5:37pm D4 Blu Rayne (Female Student 12) had been hiding within the bushes near the road leading to the beach; Blu was the class photographer, she had been taking pictures for the prom yearbook, she had both her camera and her video camera in her bag, both were state of the art and she had a lot of batteries, tapes and rolls of film for them, her supplied weapon was an automatic pistol which she kept in her bag, Blu took the video camera out of her bag unaware that the pistol was caught in the still image camera strap, she turned the camera on and faced the lens towards her face, she flipped the LCD screen around and started recording: “I’ve never been so scared in my life” she said into the microphone of the camera “This will probably be my last message, to anyone who receives this tape: our entire school class has been kidnapped by our School gym teacher as well as dozens of soldiers, and … they’re forcing us to kill each other until only one of us is left” Blu faced the camera lens towards the Plane above the Island, “This is their Headquarters: a new Sky surfer Aeroplane that’s running the whole show, It’s armed with some sort of lasers on the wingtips, we boarded the plane at Los Angeles International Airport thinking we were on a once in a life time field trip to Sydney Australia, they gassed us gave us weapon and left us stranded on this island, my weapon was a gun of some sort,” she faced the lens towards her bag and showed the gun inside. “I know it’s hard to believe but they gave me: a 17 year old schoolgirl a gun, I haven’t seen anyone else since the game started” she faced the camera back towards her face. “These collars like the one you see around my neck, is the way they watch over the game, they can blow up the collars by just the press of a button, they’ve already used it to kill one of our Teachers: Alfred Lynch, they killed him to demonstrate what would happen should more than one of us survive.” “If anyone receives this message please get to any TV station to expose the truth, Mum, Dad, I love you both, you guys have been my inspiration for all these years, I’m sorry I’ll never see you again, and my boyfriend TJ, I miss you so much I you’ve been my true friend and love for all these years and I just want to say: Thank you for the best days of my…” Blu suddenly stopped and noticed Bre in the LCD picture behind her, Blu turned around, Bre swung her sword towards Blu’s neck “CLANK” The sword’s blade collided with Blu’s collar which protected her neck, Blu quickly grabber her bag and ran, Bre was behind her in pursuit, Blu dropped her camera as she ran, there was no time to go back and retrieve it, she was very athletic, but then again so was Bre, Blu reached into her bag to get her gun out as she ran, however it was caught on the still camera’s strap and she couldn’t get it out, “C’mon you F***in gun” she said as she ran through the forest, she kept pulling on the gun trying to pull it out of the bag, suddenly she tripped on a rock and fell to the ground, she looked behind herself Bre was closing in on her, suddenly loud gunshots were heard and some bullets hit a tree that Bre was behind at the time, “Blu this way” said a male voice Blu looked around to where the voice came from, she saw Reave and Jess, (Jess holding her machine gun) “C’mon get up this way” said Reave running towards the East Blu grabbed her bag and followed Reave, Jess fired her gun at Bre who was running towards the west, not one bullet hit Bre, all the bullet hit the tree’s around her, Jess wasn’t a good aimer but it scared Bre off. Jess ran back east to join Blu and Reave, all three of them ran back towards the mall, Robert was there waiting for them, Reave gabbed a Radio that he found in the security room and talked into it “Rob quick open the shutter”, “On it” said Rob through the Radio, the Shutter for the underground car park Reave, Blu and Jess quickly ducked under the shutter to enter the car park, “Close it quick” ordered Reave, Rob did what he was told and pulled on a chain to close the shutter, Blu fell back in exhaustion “Thanks, I owe ya” she said to Reave and Jess. 26 Students Remaining Chapter 33 5:58pm C8 Andy, Tridad, Shell and Holly arrived at the front gates of the power plant as planned, earlier Shell saw Bre chasing Blu the Tirdad’s TV she also noticed that Blu dropped her camera, they made a quick detour to collect the camera; it wasn’t damaged and the tape was still intact, they took it with them as evidence for their distress signal, the camera had a USB port on the side and Tirdad had a USB cable for his laptop, he could upload the video to his laptop and send it across the internet. Outside the gates Andy fired his silenced gun into the padlock, the gate swung open, Holly took out a key card (not a weapons shed key card) she found in the house it said “Level one Priority, Power plant” the key card would probably allow them to access all areas of the power plant, she also had some jumper cables but she didn’t say what for, as the four of them reached the front door, the speakers across the Island came to life; it was time for the 6pm report General Capper’s voice came out across the Island “Hello class, Mr Kerry is currently asleep at the moment so I will be filling in, I must say I am really disappointed, there were only two deaths in the last six hours: Female Student 4 Riley Kennett and Male Student 12 Aaron Newsome, that is disgraceful, you guys better speed up your performance, as well as watchout for these next danger zones: At 7pm I7, At 9pm H8, And at 11pm B8. You kids better clean up your act quick, now get moving, Capper out” All four of them checked their maps, “oh shit” said Andy, “In five hours the plant will become a danger zone,” “Well everyone we’ve got five hours lets make this happen” said Tridad, The front door was unlock all four of them walked inside, The Power plant looked really dusty, there were spider webs everywhere it was quite dark despite the sun still being up, Andy checked a nearby directory of the power plant, there was an entrance way to the underground cable tunnel somewhere in the middle of the power plant, all four of them made their way to the entrance * * * I2 Taylor and Drew were on the beach awfully close to a danger zone both of them had been shocked by the announcement because Trey’s name was not called from the casualty list, it then they realised that neither of them ever bothered to check if Trey was still alive, “Are you sure he was dead?” asked Drew “I don’t know … what have done?” said Taylor “So… what do we do?” “What do you mean ‘what do we do’: we gotta go back” “What are you crazy? You stabbed him in the chest and left him to die! I don’t think he’s going to take it lightly” “I don’t care I love him, and I need to tell him that” “Taylor what your suggesting is Suicide, once we step foot inside he’ll attack us with anything he can find, not to mention some of the other guys that may be playing the game” “Drew please…I have to go back for him…will you help me?” Drew paused for a few seconds to think about it “Tay…alright I’ll help you, after all I did swear to protect you” Drew replied, Taylor smiled “I knew I could trust…Thank you Drew” 26 Students Remaining Chapter 34 6:10pm B8 Tirdad found what appeared to a server hub at the entrance to the Cable Tunnel, unfortunately it wasn’t working because the power was not working, Andy realised that if their plan was going to work; they were going to have to get the power back on, the four of them decided to split up to find some clue on how to get the power up and running. * * * 6:41pm G7 Close to the bank of the river was one of speaker towers, at the base of the Tower sat Meg Sokolosky (Female Student 19) she hadn’t move from that spot since she landed, she was too afraid to move, she wished she had packed some clothes in her bag that weren’t going to attract any attention, the only top she had close enough was a red tank top that would easily attract any attention, but it was the best she had. Another problem she had was her weapon; a sledge hammer, the hammer was so heavy that she could barely lift it off the ground, Meg loved to play tennis, but a tennis racquet was a lot lighter than a sledge hammer. “Someone help please” she said quietly crying while looking up towards the sky, The sun had already set but the fading light over the cloud showed one of the most beautiful sunsets she had ever seen, she could never see anything like this in Los Angeles because of the bright lights, and she had also never seen the stars before, she knew she would finally get a chance to see them, suddenly she heard a rustle in the bushes behind her Meg turned around, trying to look tough, but at the same time she panicked, Esmarelda Villalobos was now standing in front of her, These two were sworn enemies since the forth grade when Meg purposely copied Esmarelda homework and forced The Teacher at the Time to fail them both, and they were both forced to repeat the forth grade. These memoires came back to haunt both girls at the present time, Esmarelda look at Meg “It’s all your fault that were here, If you hadn’t Copied my homework I would have been Collage by now having the best time of my life, Instead I’m here in a kill of be killed situation, AND IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT” yelled Esmarelda. “Esmarelda I’m sorry” begged Meg “Please don’t kill me” “Sorry, SORRY, SORRY doesn’t cut it” Esmarelda raised one of her guns and fired a shot into Meg’s chest, Meg went into shock from the bullet and landed on her butt, Esmarelda fired another shot into her chest “It’s your fault I’ll never see my dream come true” she said “I need to do this for the long awaited vengeance I’ve waited for so long” she fired another shot into Megs chest, Blood started coming out of Megs mouth, she had never felt so much pain, Meg was scared, she knew this was the end for her, one simple mistake nine years ago, and now she’s paying the ultimate price. Esmarelda raised the gun in her left hand to fire one more shot into Meg’s head, but before she could pull the trigger, she heard a loud noise she had never heard before coming from being her; she saw a metallic object dig into her chest at a high speed. Meg watched as Esmarelda flew… well everywhere, whatever hit her caused her entire body to explode, pieces of Esmarelda’s flesh and drops of blood flew everywhere, it was raining pieces of Esmarelda, Meg had never seen anything so graphic in her life, she felt like throwing up but she was already throwing up blood, the upper half of Esmarelda’s head landed in Meg’s lap with her eyes still wide open, Meg quickly brushed of the piece of the head. Meg then heard a male voice singing (poorly): “Rain drops keep falling on my head! And that will mean that you’ll soon be DEAD” It was Adam Leigh on his right arm was Jesse’s Rocket Launcher, he found it while checking out H8 which would soon be a danger zone, Meg looked at Adam, she didn’t speak, “What should I do with you?” said Adam, Meg could tell by his tone of voice that he was starting to go insane looks like this game had finally gotten to him, she thought that speaking to him might work “Adam” she gasped “Listen to yourself… this isn’t you … you’re better than this” “Your right I am better … than you” Replied Adam, “That’s … not what I meant … your inner feelings … must be saying something different to what you’re doing” “Feelings? I would give a F***” “What about Simone?” stated Meg, Adam went silent he had forgotten all about Simone, “what do your feelings on Simone say?” asked Meg, Adam grabbed Esmarelda’s guns that were miraculously both unharmed by the explosion he then pointed one of the guns at Meg’s head “Where is she?” Asked Adam, Meg realised her plan had backfired there was now a gun pointing at her head, she obviously didn’t know where Simone was, “She … at the Power Plant” lied Meg, Adam fired a shot at the ground in front of Meg, “LIAR” yelled Adam “THE GATES ARE LOCKED” Meg was unaware that the Power plant gates ‘were’ locked Adam aimed one of the guns at Megs head again “goodbye” he said, Meg closed her eyes tears started to fill her eyes she was frightened by the looming death upon her, 10 seconds later Adam had not fired his gun, Meg opened her eyes Adam was no longer standing in front of her, she also noticed that her sledge hammer was gone she looked around she noticed Adam walking towards the bridge “Adam?” she yelled towards him “Thank you Meg” replied Adam “but consider this mercy! If we meet again you won’t be so lucky” he said back to her as he walked off. Meg was bleeding badly she had already lost a lot of blood from the bullet wounds, she fell onto her back and looked upward, at the bright stars, she had never seen them so beautiful she continued to watch the stars as she passed away. * * * Adam was going to start his search for Simone shortly, but first he started to make his way to the gold weapons shed, the gold key card was in Esmarelda’s bag, Esmarelda found it on the beach at H9 earlier as was about to head to shed when she noticed Meg, and the rest is history. Esmarelda Villalobos (Female Student 20), Meg Sokolosky (Female Student 19) dead 24 Student Remain Chapter 35 6:52pm E8 “What the hell was that?” Catherine said out loud after hearing an explosion south of their position, “You got me” said Trey lying in a hospital bed “But whatever it was it sounded awfully close” “Very close more like it” Said Catherine heading towards the door, “Hey where are you going?” asked Trey “I’m gonna go check it out, I’ll be right back” ”Don’t say that!” “Say what?” “’I’ll be right back’ chances are you’ll be dead, and besides were you just going to leave me here?” Catherine gave Trey some scalpels that she found, Trey already had one, but now he had 5, he could use them at throwing weapons, “I’ll be fine I’ll only be gone a few minutes” said leaving Trey behind. Catherine headed directly south in the direction she heard the noise, she had her gun well gripped in her right hand with a spare clip in her left, her journey was cut off by the river unaware that Simone was only a few yards away, she could see the Speaker tower on the other side, it was hard to make out anything else in the dark, she didn’t want to risk turning on her flashlight, as it would give away her position she headed west towards the bridge as she crossed the zone border into F7 she notice someone walking across the bridge, she couldn’t tell who it was, but she did notice a large object on his right arm, Catherine thought to herself “a bazooka?” she then remembered earlier during the day when a rocket nearly destroyed the plane. The person made their way north Catherine was no match for a rocket launcher, but after hearing the explosion she realised that this guy was playing the game, he was too far out of range for Catherine to take a snipe shot, it was too risky, instead she decided to follow him, but quietly, Cath kept her distance, once he lets his guard down, she’ll attack or if he tries to attack another student. * * * B8 Holly found a main office one of the upper floors of the power plant, at the back of the office wall was a map of some islands, Holly checked out the map, in the top left hand corner of the map it read “Chatham Islands” there was a large Island that clearly stood out from the rest of the islands, but did not match the map of the island the students were given, in the lower right hand corner of the map was a familiar looking island, Holly took out her map of the battle ground and compared it to the island in the map, It was an accurate match, The Island was called: “Rangiauria” or “Pitt Island”. Holly had just discovered their location: They were on Pitt Island, ‘this new information will be useful’ Thought Holly; it would also explain why the Cable Tunnel runs towards the north-west, it must connect with Chatham Island itself, Holly wrote down the new information in a book in her bag, and went to find the others to tell them the new information she found. 24 Students Remaining Chapter 36 7:15pm E8 Trey was lying all alone in a hospital bed, he couldn’t believe what Catherine had just done, she had been gone for more than 20 minutes, and she said she’d be right back, but then again he thought the chances of her coming back were slim to none, Trey heard the lobby door’s downstairs open “Trey” yelled a familiar voice from downstairs, Trey recognized that voice any day, “Taylor” he yelled back “Up here on the 3rd floor” Trey looked around there was a crutch placed near his bed, “possibly put there by Catherine” he thought, he grabbed the crutch as well as a few scalpels that Cath left for him (Just in case) and put them in the back of his belt. * * * rd Taylor ran up the stairs to the 3 floor with Drew close behind her, finally she reached the 3rd floor she ran down the closest hallway from hearing Trey’s voice, and at the end of the hallway: was Trey. Taylor was so happy to see him alive, she ran down the hallway full of joy, It all seemed to go in slow motion for Taylor she could see Trey’s happy face almost in tears, but then his eyes opened in surprise and Trey stopped “WATCH OUT!” he yelled, Taylor turned her head as a butchers knife flew just an inch away form her, and it struck Trey’s left shoulder “Aaaahhh” yelled Trey in pain as he fell to the ground, Taylor looked around to see who the thrower was; It was Bre. Drew was not going to hold back against Bre, he hated Bre because of her bitch attitude and mean personality, he quickly drew his Katana ready to fight Bre who had her Samurai Sword ready to kill, while Taylor rushed to Trey’s Aid, Bre went for a jab to the chest but Drew parried the attack, he went for a swing to the head but Bre ducked, Bre tried a raising slice and Drew stepped back to dodge, Bre went for an over the head swing, Drew blocked an landed a kick into Bre’s chest, Drew was quite strong Bre was knocked back against the wall hard, Drew attempted to drive his katana into Bre but she quickly moved out of the way “little help here guy” Drew said to Taylor and Trey, Taylor looked at Trey. “I’ll be fine help Drew!” ordered Trey, Taylor nodded her head and pulled the Butcher’s Knife out of Trey’s shoulder which actually made the pain worse for Trey, but Taylor needed a weapon, Bre way laying on the ground and quickly made a cheap kick to Drew’s Ankles, It only made him step back slightly, but it gave Bre the window of opportunity to get back to her feet, Taylor lunged forth with the butchers knife in one hand, Bre easily dodged while grabbing her Cattle Prod she took from Lucy with her free hand and using it to stun Taylor, her whole body went numb as she fell flat on her face unable to move “TAYLOR” yelled Trey sliding on the floor with his right (Strong) arm. “Wait for you turn bitch” said Bre to Taylor. Bre was nearly caught off guard by Drew swung toward Bre with his katana, Bre quickly parried but at the same time she was tackled to the ground knocking the cattle prod out of her hand and Drew landing on top of her, Drew Tried to land a head butt but Bre used her forearms to slightly raise Drew and used her legs to kick him over her head, both of them got to their feet both holding their type of sword with both hands both slowly circled each other poised to attack, Drew lunged first Bre parried his attack and was able to land a kick into Drew’s chest with her stiletto heel breaking one of his ribs, Drew grabbed his chest in pain, Bre quickly jumped and landed a double kick into Drews Chest again knocking him through an (open) door and into another hospital room, Bre landed on her back, she learned that move form watching Wrestling and Kung fu shows on TV, but she wasn’t meant to land on her back. Both Bre and Drew rose to their feet fighting their pain, Drew noticed a flower vase on the room’s bedside, he quick grabbed the vase and threw it at Bre, Bre quickly duck the incoming vase but it struck her Sword, almost knocking it out of her hand, Drew seized the opportunity he charged at Bre Swung … and missed, Bre dodged to the side and swung her Samurai Sword at his leg and the tip of the blade sliced (but didn’t cut off) his right leg just below the knee, Drew stumbled back into the hallway and landed on the ground grabbing his leg in pain, Bre saw the chance to end the fight and went to stab him in the chest, Drew tried to parry but Bre lifted her sword at the last second dodging the parring and drove the sword right into Drew’s upper chest, right into his heart, Drew’s arms fell back lifelessly, Bre removed her bloody sword form his chest and grabbed her cattle prod that she dropped, she looked at Trey and Taylor, “Now where was I?” said Bre as Taylor slowly tried to raise herself on all fours Bre quickly shocked her with the Cattle Prod again, Taylor’s fell flat on her chest, Bre Grabbed Taylor by the hair and held her facing Trey, Taylor was so weak from the cattle prod that she couldn’t move a muscle in her body, she could barely keep her eyes open and all she could see was a blurry image of Trey, Trey who was trying to slide toward Taylor on one arm, saw the tip of Bre’s blade a few feet away from his forehead, “Make one wrong move and your Bitch dies sooner than expected” Said Bre moving her sword under Taylor’s chin with the blade touching Taylor’s neck, “Now lets talk shall we? First, let’s go back to Sandra Overtez’s party; tell her what ‘happened’ ok?” “No more lies Bre” Trey said with an angry tone in her voice, Bre tightened her grip on the swords handle, “Aah aah aah, no funny business” said Bre “There’s nothing funny, I’m not going to let her die knowing a lie, Taylor I’ve always loved you” Trey said looking a Taylor, Taylor tried to smile, knowing she was happy to hear his voice, “Oh you love her huh?” said Bre slowly sliding her sword down Taylor’s blouse, Bre moved her sword out ward ripping Taylor’s Blouse and Bra and exposing her breasts “Well go on; F*** her” Ordered Bre holding Taylor in front of Trey, “I…” started Trey “Why are you doing this?” Bre move the blade of the sword back to Taylor’s throat “No no no, I’m the one answering the questions here!” said Bre, “I you love her than F*** her, right now!” Trey couldn’t believe what he was hearing, he was eager to have sex with Taylor one last time, but not like this, not with Bre forcing him in a life or death situation for Taylor. Trey would do anything to help Taylor but Trey obviously knew what Bre would do: She would kill him and Taylor if Trey did it with Taylor right now, Trey needed a plan, and he needed a plan quickly, “Why have me F*** her? If you love me so much, why not F*** me?” asked Trey “Ohhhhh you think you’re really smart, don’t you?” Said Bre, Trey watch as surprisingly she loosened her grip on her sword, Trey thought his plan might work, she released her grip on Taylor’s hair, Taylor landed flat on the ground, “I’m glad we see things my way” said Bre who started to walk towards Trey, as she walked past Taylor’s head, as she did she quickly raised her foot above Taylor and brought it down on Taylor’s head: Bre’s stiletto heel dug deep into the back of Taylor’s Skull “NOOOOOOOO” screamed Trey, his plan had backfired and Taylor was now dead, he didn’t expect Bre to step on Taylor’s head. “Isn’t that what you wanted?” asked Bre sarcastically walking towards Trey “She didn’t deserve to die SHE WAS YOUR FRIEND” yelled Trey with tears in his eyes “Uhh reality check Trey, only one of us can survive” replied Bre walking up to Trey holding her sword at Trey’s Throat, Bre quickly looked at Taylor and Drew’s bodies ready to say something Trey quickly reached into the back of his belt and grabbed a scalpel, Bre turned her head quickly, Trey quickly swung the scalpel at Bre’s wrist (the farthest part of Bre’s body he could reach) severing Bre’s right hand from her wrist her sword (with Bre’s hand still holding it) fell into Trey’s lap, Bre fell back from the pain clutching her wrist “MY HAND, MY HAND” she repeatedly screamed. Trey saw his opportunity he felt strength he had never felt before and grabbed Bre’s sword, he fought through the pain and rose to his feet, Bre squirmed away from Trey, Her pain was unbearable, “You heartless bitch” yelled Trey walking (rather limping) towards Bre, Bre was bleeding a lot from her wrist, Trey lunged forth and attempted to drive the sword into Bre, Bre log rolled out of the way; and ended up right next to the Butcher’s Knife Taylor dropped earlier, she grabbed the Knife with her other hand and threw it at Trey’s head, the blade striking his forehead, there was no second chance this time for Trey he simply fell back lifeless. Bre wasted no time and quickly grabbed her severed hand, she ran into the nearest hospital room gabbed some bandages and bandaged up her wound, she the ran into the organ storage room, there were no organs, but there were some battery powered medical Ice boxes, Bre knew First Aid very well, she sealed her hand in a plastic bag and stored it in the Ice box, the battery timer on the side of the box said 36 hours of battery life remaining, which meant she’d need to kill everyone else within 36 hours if she ever hopes of getting her hand reattached, she stored the box in her bag as well as all the spare weapons including Drew’s Katana, she made sure all three of the others were dead (which they were), and left the hospital and headed west. Drew Weaver (Male Student 19), Taylor Reid (Female Student 13) and Trey Lawson (Male Student 7) dead 21 Students Remain Chapter 37 7:30pm E7 Monica Lead a blind John down the road heading towards the hospital, they had not encountered Bre who was heading west, Monica was leading John with her left hand and in her other hand she held her Uzi ready to shoot if necessary, They reached the Hospital, the medical storage room was on the 3rd floor (of all things), Monica lead John up the stair well to the 3rd floor, Monica walked down the nearest hallway, and stopped “Aahh” Monica said in shock. “What is it?” asked a blind John, Monica didn’t reply she couldn’t explain what she saw. “Let’s not stay here for longer than we need to ok” Monica said with her heart racing, “Monica what is it?” “Taylor… Trey… and Drew … all dead, it looks like they were killed recently” “If they were killed recently I agree lets not stay here for longer than we need to!” Monica slowly walked through the dead bodies, she looked at Taylor and saw a large gash in the back of her head, Monica’s weak stomach gave in, she released her grip on Johns hand and ran into the nearest room; and threw up all over a hospital bed. “Monica where are you?” asked John holding his hands out in front of him trying to find her, Monica didn’t reply instead she raised her Uzi and pointed it threw the doorway towards John. “Monica where are you? What are you doing?” asked John, Monica tightened her grip on the trigger, she couldn’t bear to see John like this, walking around helplessly, beside only one of them could survive, she thought it would be best to put him out of his misery now, end his pain. Monica was ready to fire “You don’t want to do that” Said a faint male voice, Monica turned around, there was no one there, she looked around the room there was no one else around, “Hello?” yelled Monica “Monica” said John who started to walk in the direction he heard her voice, Monica grabbed Johns hand, “John, did you hear something?” asked Monica “Hear what?” asked a puzzled John “That voice” “What voice, are you ok?” Monica seemed Puzzled, “I… I swear I heard some faint male voice” she replied “Are you sure you weren’t hearing things.” “… Maybe I’m just going crazy” Said Monica who started to breathe heavily “but … It sounded like Lynch!” “Monica, Lynch is dead, we saw him die remember?” “Then I am going crazy, we should get out of here, lets just grab everything we can out of the storage room and leave.” They did just that, they grabbed one of every single type of drug and medicine and placed it in their bags, they didn’t bother to check what they had, they just left as soon as possible, Monica started to run as the made their way back towards the house, John started to stumble a little bit, but eventually they made it to the house they were hiding out in before, they made their way to the attic when ‘BOOOM’ the house was engulfed by an explosion, half the house had been blown apart, and the rest of it was engulfed in flames, John was amazingly not badly hurt by the explosion, although he wasn’t sure what just happened, he could feel the head, and the sound of fire and the smell of thick smoke, but he wasn’t sure what caused it, Monica however was impaled through the chest by a piece of wood, “Monica” yelled John, her hand had slipped away from John’s he then felt himself kicking something, he kneeled down to feel what it was; It was Monica and she wasn’t moving, he felt the plant of wood there was no question about it; Monica “NOOOOOOOOO” he yelled, “MONICA NOOOOOOOO, DAMN YOU KERRY” he yelled at the top of his lungs, “Yes damn him!” said a male voice before John could react he heard a machine gun fire with bullets scattered all over his body, John pain finally ended as he landed on top of Monica’s Body, the Shooter went through Monica and johns bags, they were filled with medicine, he didn’t have time to sort out the bags, he just took them with him, along with Monica’s Uzi, “Good night folks” he said as he left the burning house. The shooter was Derek Weinster, Earlier he saw Monica and John leaving the Hospital, and running down the street to the house they were hiding out in, Derek noticed a large gas canister next to the side of the house, the gauge read that it was still full, so he placed one of his remote grenades on the to of the canister with the valve open, ho got to a safe distance and detonated the Grenade setting the house alight, he then entered the house to finish off anyone still alive, he saw John over Monica’s Corpse, he notice that John had been blinded, and he also noticed the Uzi in Monica’s hand (on the opposite side of John) he then crept up grabbed the uzi and Killed John. Derek left the house quickly and headed north as the house burnt throughout the night. Monica Soares (Female Student 18) and John Doe (Male Student 3) dead 19 Students Remain Chapter 38 7:50pm B8 Andy and Shell found the control room of the Power Plant, The main feature of the room was a large console with the word CASPA on the side, there was also an open diary in at one of the smaller terminals, and the last entry was dated 5 weeks ago Tuesday 4th of February 2014 Today was my first shift at the Plant since coming back from holidays, I was devastated to hear the news that there had been a radioactive leak last week and Roger Patterson had been diagnosed with radiation poisoning, I was also devastated to hear that the day after the reactor went into potential meltdown, causing panic across the Island and even worse, some people fled by helicopter including Roger’s wife Claire and daughter Alex, the Chopper was not fully fuelled and it crashed into the ocean, and no survivors were found, Poor Roger, I felt sorry for him, he died a few days after the chopper crashed. On a positive side the meltdown was averted and things are running just fine, although there is a lack of staff, I’ve got a 4 day shift coming up, Bugger Wednesday 5th of February 2014 A large crate came into the Control room today, just as I finished my shift, I didn’t get to see what was inside it, but my boss Parish says it’ll help reduce the work load, on the drive home there was a report on the radio about protests against our Power plant on Chatham Island and the New Zealand Southern Island after the Meltdown Panic, It seems They had little warning, and say that the Plant is unsafe, But to be honest I doubt it. Thursday 6th of February When I got the work today I was assigned a new Job; main user of a new supercomputer called CASPA, apparently the massive thing, was what was in the crate I saw yesterday, CASPA is a massive supercomputer that can run the power plant itself safely, all I did was entered the password provided and just watched it work on the 4 monitors ,CASPA also had a sexy female voice like out of an old Sci-fi movie, I can’t believe how simple it was to use, This thin really made my job easy, a little to easy I was so bored I ended up falling asleep so many times today, basically whenever something goes wrong CASPA automatically fixes it herself, I also learned that most of the workers today were sacked because they were no longer needed, I wonder I my Job may be in Jeopardy too, I keep forgetting the Password for CASPA so I wrote it on the back cover of the diary. Friday 7th of February My fears have come true, this’ll be the last entry in this diary, I’ve learned that at 6pm tonight the Plant will be shut down for good, also the Island is being Vacated since there is no further use for it, Those bloody protesters got their wish and now I’ve gotta look for a new job, I’m worried what will happen to my life long term wise. Apparently the New Zealand Government’s economy has dropped really hard, I’ve heard they’re selling Pitt Island to the Americans, Although I don’t know what they’d want with a useless Island. Shell and Andy both knew what it would be used for, they also now knew how to get the power back up and running, they approached CASPA; there was a main power switch underneath the keyboard, they’re was also a plate with words engraved saying: “Runs on its own power supply”, Shell flipped the switch, one of the four monitors came to life with the words “Enter Password 1” “Andy what does the back of the diary say” asked Shell who had her hands on the Keyboard, Andy checked the back cover of the diary, there were three words written on the back: “Rekohu,” “Wharekauri” and “Hakepa” “Ree-koo-who” said Andy trying to pronounce the first word, “What?” asked Shell “R-E-K-O-H-U” Said Andy, “Lemme see that” said shell grabbing the diary from Andy, “Whoa you think they could have used something simple like ‘English language’” said Shell as she entered the first password, followed by the other two, “Welcome back Wayne” said the Computer in a female voice with an Australian Accent, “I am CASPA unit number AI0054, The Plant’s status is currently … Offline, what is your first command?” some buttons appeared on screen, the first one said “Restore Power” all the others were greyed out, apart form one that said “Shut down CASPA” Shell Grabbed the mouse and clicked “Restore Power”, “Power Plant has been offline for… 5 week, estimated time until power is restored: “1 hour, 5 minutes”, “That’s about 8:55 when the power will come back on,” said Andy. “Let’s get back to the others.” 19 Students Remaining Countdown until power is restored 1:05:00 Chapter 39 8:12pm on the border of C6-C7 Time Remaining until power is restored: 0:42:37 Daniel Tran (Male Student 18) and Carrie Lynn King (Female Student 5) were trying to make their was to the rim of the Power plant to hide, earlier when Carrie heard the gun shot in the Hospital, she ran south fearing for her life, as she ran she dropped her bag of Tack’s (her weapon), and all the tack’s spilled everywhere, Carrie didn’t have enough time to pick them all up because she could see Simone close on her tail, she continued to run south, until she reached the river, Desperate to lose Simone she jumped into the river and tried to swim to the other side, but exhaustion from running around all day finally took its toll, Carrie didn’t have any strength left to reach the other side of the river and she was caught in the current and washed downstream towards the south-west, luckily at G6 just be she was washed into a danger zone Daniel Tran noticed her struggling in the water, he dived in after her and dragged her to shore. Carrie didn’t know how to thank him for saving her life, she didn’t have much of a weapon, Daniel just asked for her to tag along for strength in numbers (that and he could use some company), Daniel didn’t want to try and hit on Carrie, he knew she already had a boyfriend; Tony White, who was in a different school and currently in the student exchange program in Ireland, aside from that Carrie wasn’t really Daniel’s type, he was hoping to have a relationship with a Japanese student; there were two to choose from; Judy Mitsumoto (Female Student 7), and Natalie Nakagi, although he kinda liked Judy better because he believes Natalie is too far out of his league, Daniel was hoping to find Judy, Daniel didn’t really have much of a weapon, his supplied weapon was a can of spray paint (black paint), although it would probably work at point blank range to blind someone. Carrie took out her map; their destination wasn’t too far away, maybe a zone away, “Not far to…” she started to say when Daniel covered her mouth with his hand and pulled her behind a fallen log, and made a “shhh” gesture with his finger. Carrie peeked over the log, she could see Derek Weinster on the other side holding his Uzi with both hands, and looking around, Derek defiantly heard a noise close by but he didn’t know where it came from, he reached into the bag on his back scuffled around in and pulled out his flashlight, Derek needed his flashlight he couldn’t see anything in the darkness, he turned his flashlight on and surveyed the area, the light came close to the log, Carrie quickly ducked down, Derek didn’t notice anything, Derek turned his back to the log, Daniel saw his opportunity he grabbed a small pebble an threw it the right of Derek, the pebble landed within some bushes, Derek immediately notice the noise and ran in that direction allowing Carrie and Daniel to make their escape, Derek didn’t notice either of them as he ran (east) towards the direction he heard the noise. Daniel was a little proud of himself, he remembered watching Lord of the Rings on tv last week, which is where he got the idea, but now the both of them realised they needed a new plan because Derek was way too close to the plant, they decided to head to A2 which was behind a danger zone, and could provide cover for the two of them, the downside to the plan was that they’d be cornered in that zone with no way to go but the way they came or attempt a swim in the ocean. 19 Students Remaining Countdown until power is restored 0:37:00 Chapter 40 8:50pm C8 Time Remaining until power is restored: 0:04:31 Adam Leigh finally reached the gold weapons shed, he delayed his trip to take a quick look around when he thought someone was stalking him (which someone was, Catherine was) he did so a few times, but the last time he did so was at least an hour ago, Adam inserted the Gold Card into the reader, and the doors to the shed opened slowly, * * * Catherine wasn’t too far behind, she was still back in D8, she had her gun in her hand and was going to use the element of surprise to ambush Adam whenever she could get a clear shot. * * * Inside the shed was a large body suit, almost like a knights armour but more present day looking, a nearby group of Post-it notes said the suit is armoured in a combination of Titanium and Kevlar, that covers the entire body, it also has assorted sizes for the chest, legs, and helmet, the helmet also has a bullet-proof visor, Adam couldn’t believe his luck; he had two guns, a baseball bat, a sledgehammer, a rocket launcher, and now an armoured body suit, “no way I can lose now” he thought to himself * * * Catherine saw Adam going through the different sizes of the suits, she knew that If she was going to kill him she’d have to do it now, Catherine used the darkness to her advantage, she slowly crept forth ready to fire when… Time Remaining until power is restored: 0:00:00 The street lights and lamp posts came to life, Catherine positioned was compromised, Adam immediately saw Catherine who had been blinded by the sudden lights, he immediately grabbed one of his guns and fired at Catherine… and missed, Adam had only put the pants of the suit and chest plate on, the rest of him was still exposed, Catherine ran being a nearby tree and took pot shots at Adam, Adam raised one of the smaller size chest plates and covered his face, Cath continued to fire until the clip ran out of bullets, Adam quickly grabbed the rocket launcher he placed on the ground, as Catherine struggled to reload her gun, she noticed Adam with the rocket launcher and ran for life towards the south, Adam fired the launcher, just short of Catherine but enough to knock her off her feet, she hit the ground hard in extreme pain, Adam dropped the launcher and held his gun in front of him and fired shots from long range into Catherine, eventually one shot struck Cath in the back of her head, killing her instantly. Adam quickly finished putting on the rest of the suit, he realised he couldn’t leave the spare sizes behind, he gathered some fallen branches from outside the shed and placed them in a massive pile against the back wall of the shed, he also used spare clothes out of Catherine’s bag, and Catherine’s body, he then gathered all the spare sizes of the suit within the pile, one all the spare parts were in the pile of branches and leaves, he grabbed Cath’s food, water, and gun and got at a safe distance, loaded the rocket launcher with a new rocket, and fired it directly into the massive pile, most of the pieces flew in different directions but the rest of it caught fire, the Kevlar parts of the spare suit pieces caught fire, the shed didn’t burn to the ground because it was made on thick concrete, Adam left the blaze and headed south to start looking for Simone, the armour wasn’t as heavy as he thought it would be despite being covered from head to toe, (although there was a tiny unprotected spot whenever he bent his knees) but it wasn’t like anyone was going to notice, he felt invincible, he realised he now has an extremely strong chance of winning the game. Catherine Murrey (Female Student 9) dead 18 Students Remain Power Restored Chapter 41 9:00pm The Plane “Sir we’re picking up some interference from the power plant” said a private on one of the main consoles “What is it?” asked Capper “There are five students in the power plant at the moment, and their signals from their collars appear distort and were receiving minimal signal, Electrical interference maybe?” replied the Private Capper took a look out one of the windows down onto the battle field; he noticed some street lights turned on, and most of the building lighting up. “The Power’s been restored” said Capper “That’s why we’re receiving interference” “There’s more” said the Private “four of those students have not moved from their spot since the power came back on, and the area will be a danger zone in two hours, and another interesting fact is they have their collars covered, we’ve got no visual or audio coverage on any of them” “You think their up to something?” said another Private “Send a warning signal to one of their collars, give them the impression we’re onto them” Ordered Capper “Yes sir” replied the first private, he gave the computer the command to send the signal to Andy’s collar, but his collar didn’t receive the warning. “No Luck” said the private “the interference is preventing us from sending any signals of any type,” “Can we at least manually detonate their collars?” asked Capper “I doubt it,” “What about when the area becomes a danger zone will their collars still detonate if their still in B8?” There was a long pause, and then the Private replied “I don’t know.” * * * B8 With the power now restored the Internet line in the cable tunnel was now working, Tirdad was now able to send his distress signal across the internet, he sent a video message using Blu’s camera and uploading it to his computer via a USB cable he kept in his bag, He sent the distress message to almost every News station across the globe from CNN, ABC, SKY NEWS, News Online, every where, the message would take at least an hour and 45 minutes to fully upload however, Tirdad message claimed that their class was kidnapped by a rich group of terrorists who are forcing the students to kill each other, he did not mention that they were kidnapped by the United States government because he’s know that other countries wouldn’t dare oppose them, * * * 9:20 D7 Bre was almost ready to pass out, she had lost a lot of blood from losing her hand, she returned to the Police station where Darcy and Lucy’s bodies were now covered in flies, Bre had been walking around all day, she had to use her samurai sword as a walking stick, she needed to rest. Now that the power was back on the security system for the station could be activated, because the system had not received any for five weeks the code needed to be reset, Bre used a code only she would remember, she also removed the motion sensor from one of the upstairs office, ripped out the cushions from the chair, at the computer desks to make a bed, and finally went to sleep, something she really needed for a long time. 18 Students Remaining Chapter 42 9:45 (8:45 Local time) 15 miles outside of Newcastle Australia Sandra Overtez was on one of many busses transporting stranded passengers from Brisbane to Sydney, Sandra hoped on board the last bus in to group of busses, the bus was only half full weather as all the other busses were full, the seat next to her was empty, in the seat across from her sat a teenage boy, who she couldn’t take her eyes off, he was also on the plane from Dublin, the boy finally realised Sandra kept looking at her “Can I help you” the boy said with a southern accent, Sandra struggled to speak “I… uhh…you’re American?” she asked, “Uhh…yeah…I’m from Kansas, where you from?” he asked, “I’m from Los Angeles” replied Sandra “I’m Sandra Overtez” introducing herself, “Overtez” the boy replied “as in Jerry Overtez the famous film director?” he asked, “That’s me” replied Sandra “What’s your name?” “Tony” replied the boy extending his hand to shake Sandra’s hand “Tony White” ‘Tony White’ thought Sandra, she had heard that name before, but she couldn’t put her finger on it, where had she heard that name from? “BOOM” a loud explosion like noise was heard from underneath the Bus as it came to a rolling stop on the side of road, the driver told all the passengers to quickly but calmly exit the bus, while the driver inspects the loud noise, upon exiting the bus passengers noticed smoke coming out from underneath the bus, the driver immediately noticed that the engine had blown, he used a fire extinguisher to cool the engine down in case it was on fire (which it wasn’t), he then used the bus radio to call for assistance, but there was no answer cause the nearest bus base was closed, “well folks” started the driver, “It looks like were stuck here until morning,” Moans were heard among the passengers including Sandra and Tony. Sandra was starting to worry, she should have meet up with the rest of the class hours ago, she had no way of calling home, no way of calling her class, and she was now stuck in the middle of nowhere, some field trip of a lifetime this turned out to be, If only she knew how the rest of the class was doing, this wasn’t so bad compared to what the rest of the class was stuck in. 18 Students Remaining Chapter 43 10:20pm B8 Tirdad Was working away like there was no tomorrow, he had hit so many firewalls It would be close to the 11:00pm deadline before he would finish because it took so long to bypass them, “How are we doing?” asked Shell who had just come back from watching the tunnel entrance since Tirdad’s portable TV wasn’t working from the electrical interference (Holly took over). “It going to be close” replied Tirdad, “Tirdad please hurry!” asked Andy “we’re running out of time, we’ve only got forty minutes left” “I know I know it’ll be close to the deadline” Tirdad paused (but kept typing) “I think it would be best if you guys got out now!” Andy and Shell both looked at Tirdad, “No way man I’m not leaving you behind!” replied Andy ”Neither am I!” replied Shell, While saying this Both Andy and Shell were ready to run away, Andy felt like he was starting to lose it, Andy started pointing his gun at Shell the only other person who had a gun of any sort, he disguised it by crossing his arms to hide any indication he was going to shoot her, neither Shell nor Tirdad noticed Andy’s position of his gun, he started to squeeze the Trigger when suddenly the lights turned red, and sound could be heard, and CASPA came over the loud speaker repeatedly started saying “Emergency at Main Reactor” then she started saying “Technician required at Reactor!” This caught the attention of all three of them, Holly came running back to join them screaming “what’s going on?”, Tirdad started slowing down but didn’t stop typing, Andy and Shell were frozen not knowing what to do, “Tirdad…Tirdad can you hear me?” said a faint voice covered in static, all four student noticed the voice but didn’t determine who it was, “Tirdad? Andy? Michelle? Holly? If any of you can hear me speak into your collar!” said the voice again. Andy noticed that the voice was coming from Tirdad’s Portable TV; He grabbed it and loosened the shirt around his collar, “Yeah I can hear ya, who is this? I can barely hear you” he said into his collar. “This is General Capper, what the hell is going on down there?” The voice replied “I was hoping you’d tell me the alarm just went off and we didn’t do anything” snapped Andy “Well this…” Cappers voice was interrupted by some strong static “…the four of you and far away from the reactor to cause any deliberate damage,” “Deliberate Damage?” Replied Andy, “That means someone’s doing this deliberately” Followed Tirdad “We could hear your friend from here, and he’s right! The Plant could possibly go into Meltdown” explained Capper “MELTDOWN, Oh crap” said a frightened Holly, her heart rate suddenly rose, “Pressure exceeding safe zone, Unable to shut down automatically, Possible Meltdown in… 10 minutes” Said CASPA over the loud speaker. “Andy listen: You have to stop the Meltdown go to the outer room outside the reactor it’s located just outside the border of A8 and B8 and release the safety valves just outside the sealed room, they’re clearly marked so you shouldn’t have trouble finding them, hurry If the plant goes into the meltdown not only will we die, but thousands of other people on neighbouring Islands will also die as well! Watch out for the “saboteur” he’s left the room you need to go to but he’s still close hurry and Good Luck” Ordered Capper “If I attempt to shut down the reactor I won’t have time to get out of B8 It’s the only way out of the plant, after 11pm I’ll be trapped!” said Andy “If you succeed we’ll postpone the danger Zone time to midnight is that good enough for ya? Get going!” snapped Capper “Wait I have one more question, the ‘saboteur’ who it he?” asked Andy, there was no answer the TV went silent under the static, “Ten Minutes remaining” Said CASPA “Ok guy here’s the plan” Said Andy putting the shirt back over his collar “Shell; you stay here and defend Tirdad while he works, Holly: You make your way to the Control Room and guide me to the outer room!” “Wait. You’re going alone?” said Shell “I have to there’s no other choice, besides with Holly in the control room watching the cameras I’ll have an advantage over this guy” explained Andy checking his pistol “I’ll be fine!” Tirdad stopped typing to talk to Andy “Good luck man, you can do it” he said, “Take Care Andy!” said Shell kissing him on the cheek, “Ok Holly lets do it!” said Andy as the two of them left the Tunnel, as they walked off Shell loosened her collar to speak into it “By the way: my name’s Shell, not Michelle, just Shell! Remember that ok!” she snared. 18 Students Remaining Countdown: 9:00:00 Chapter 44 10:37 B8 Countdown 8:00:00 “Ok Andy make your way to the 1st floor and follow the signs to the outer room” explained Holly over the loud speaker, the control room wasn’t too far away from the cable tunnel Andy told Holly where it was, she could see Andy on the Security monitor, she could also see the saboteur just a short distance form the outer room but she couldn’t tell who it was, because the of the red alarm light, and also as soon as Holly used the loud speaker he started hiding his face from the camera using his bag, Holly realised that the saboteur was heading back to the outer room she could now see that he was male, at about 5’10”, she still wasn’t sure who he was, “Make a right Andy” Holly said over the Loud speaker as Andy approached a junction, It was at this point Holly also noticed the “Saboteur” holding an object in his hand, and he threw it at the Camera knocking out the monitor, “Andy the “Saboteur” is at the outer room, and he just took out the security camera, so be extra careful” explained Holly. * * * “6 minutes, to main reactor meltdown” said CASPA, Andy had his pistol aimed the way he was facing ready to shoot, he was really scared, He knew that if he did this he could be killed, but if he didn’t everyone would be killed, there was so much sweat coming down his forehead he was just about ready to pass out. “Andy the hallway that leads to the outer room is just coming up on the right” Explained Holly over the loudspeaker. Andy finally made it to the hallway as he looked across he could see the “Saboteur” but he was too far away to identify him, Andy aimed his pistol at the “Saboteur” fired … and missed, the pistol was silenced but the “Saboteur” obviously heard the bullet rebound off the wall, he ran into the outer room, Andy gave chase, just as he was about to enter the outer room a crowbar, swung towards him and knocked the pistol out of his hand, I was here that Andy discovered the Identity of the “Saboteur” it was Michael Dixon (Male Student 2), Andy could obviously tell it was him from his different eye colour’s (one eye blue, the other green) the red hair and blonde goatee, His face was like a walking rainbow, But he was also the biggest bully in the school, He paid out kids like Derek, Daniel, and he also Pick’s on Andy a lot, He was also taller and a lot stronger than Andy. Michael Swung his Crowbar at Andy again, Andy ducked and ran for his gun, but Michael tripped him as he ran passed, Andy landed flat face first, he quickly rolled onto his back, He saw the crowbar coming at him, he rolled to the side as the crowbar hit the ground next to him, Michael dragged the crowbar towards Andy’s body hoping to stab him with the curved metal tip, but Andy grabbed the Crowbar, Michael however was really strong, and tried to shake off Andy’s hold, Andy made a cheap move he bought his head in close and bit Michael’s Wrist as hard as he could, “AAAAHHHHHH” screamed Michael releasing his grip on the Crowbar, “4 minutes till main reactor meltdown,” said CASPA, Andy grabbed the crowbar and backed away from Michael towards his gun, it was only at this point that he saw for the first time: Michael was crying! “Michael what the hell are you doing?” Asked Andy “I can’t do it Andy, I can’t kill anyone without being able to no longer live with myself, I have to do this” Replied Michael “Michael I don’t understand, you’re one of the toughest kids in class, it’s rare to see you crying, “Bullying and Murdering are two completely different words, I bully you guys to make me feel better, but I couldn’t kill anyone without killing myself, that’s why I’m doing this, “Michael you don’t understand, if the plant explodes thousands of other people will die on neighbouring islands, do you want to be responsible for the deaths of all those people?” Michael was left speechless, “Michael Tirdad, Shell, Holly and I may have found a way out of the game alive, it’s a chance it might not work, but it’s the best thing we have than killing each other right now, if we have the tough Michael we know, that chance of getting out of here will raise!” “2 minutes, to main reactor meltdown,” said CASPA “Michael first we have to stop the Meltdown, we have to open the safety valves to stop the meltdown, said Andy, both he and Michael looked around for it, as Capper said, they were clearly marked one safety on each side of the door leading to the main reactor room, “Hurry” said Michael, “You get the one on the left I’ll get the one on the right!” Andy did as Michael said, the both turned the valve until the alarms shut off, “Meltdown averted, all systems returning to normal” Said CASPA, “Way to go Andy” said Holly over the loudspeaker, who couldn’t actually see Andy because Michael took out the camera with the Crowbar, “I’m heading back to the cable tunnel, Tirdad should be finishing up any time now, Meet us at the front entrance, then we’ll get the hell out of here!” “You here that Michael, we’re getting out of here!” said Andy, Michael began to laugh, “What’s so …” began Andy but before he could finish a knife flew right at him, it connected with his right arm and impaled it against a nearby pipe and causing him to drop the crowbar, Andy saw that it was a pocket knife in his forearm, ”Aaaahhhh, What are you doing?” asked Andy in pain, Michael didn’t answer, he grabbed Andy’s head and slammed it into the wall, Andy started seeing stars, Michael pulled his pocket knife out of Andy’s forearm, he then grabbed a barley conscious Andy, opened the door to the reactor room, and threw him in closing the door behind Andy, the door had a window in it, Andy fully regained consciousness and ran for the door, however, Michael jammed his Crowbar in between the handle and a nearby pipe blocking his escape, Michael picked up the gun on the floor, As Andy screamed at the top of his lungs “Let me out what are you doing?” Michael looked at Andy “You were right Andy, if we have the tough Michael we know, we, more like ‘I’ have a better chance of getting out of here, Thank you! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some ‘brainiaks’ I need to blow, Have a nice Roast Wiener, hahahahaha” chuckled Michael as he left, “Noooooooo” cried Andy pounding the door with his strong arm. 18 Students Remaining? Chapter 45 10:49pm B8 Tirdad had finally finished the Upload, he and Shell Packed up ready to go, Capper said he’d postpone the area becoming a Danger Zone until midnight, but they weren’t buying it, better safe than sorry, As they left they rendezvoused with Holly outside the Control room, “Ready to go?” asked Tirdad “Yep, Andy will meet up with us at the Front door” explained Holly. “What about the power?” asked Shell. “I think we’ll have a better chance of survival with the power on, we should head for the Police Station and camp out there, the Security system should keep us safe” said Tirdad. “And hide like cowards?” snapped Holly. “You got a better Idea that doesn’t involve killing others?” said Shell Holly paused for a few second, “Good point, I could never do anything like that.” The three of them arrived at the Front door and Andy was nowhere to be seen, the three looked around worried, then they started to hear footsteps coming from another hallway behind a corner, “Hey Andy c’mon time to go!” Yelled Tirdad, Holly moved closer to the corner as Andy came around. Wait that wasn’t Andy that was Michael Dixon! Tirdad panicked, Michael raised his Pistol and fired it at Tirdad, Tirdad clutched his chest and collapsed in pain, Michael noticed Holly holding her pickaxe, she was standing close to him and she took a swipe at him but Michael grabbed the pickaxe by the handle pulled Holly towards him, and held her around her neck with her back to him, Michael also used his free arm to point the Barrel of the gun at Holly, “DROP IT!” Yelled Shell, raising her gun at Michael who held Holly in a sleeper hold, Michael knew what kind of gun Shell had, it was a Magnum .38 Revolver, he knew that the bullets in that gun were so powerful, they’d did through Holly and hit him, But he couldn’t let Shell know that. “Drop it?” asked Michael “what are going to do? Kill me?” he tightened his grip on Holly she started to panic, tears started rolling down her face, “or her” he continued “I think YOU should drop it” he suggested, Shell started to panic, Tirdad was lying on the floor in pain, but she couldn’t help him, otherwise Michael would kill Holly, “I can’t do that,” said Shell “I won’t let you kill her,” “Then let me ask you this” he said “Could you kill your best friend?” “What makes you think I’ll miss?” asked Shell “Well, your sweating, your shaking, you have a gun aimed at you best friend, I’d say you have a better chance of killing her than me!” he thought “now be a good girl and put the gun down?” he ordered “Where’s Andy” asked Shell “Oh he had to catch a barbeque!” “What’s that supposed to mean?” yelled Shell “Ahh ahh ahh, do you want your friends brains on the roof?” “Just Shoot!” said Holly to Shell, “You and Tirdad find Andy and get out of here,” “Just shoot huh?” said Michael “Very we…” a loud Clunk like noise was heard, Michael mouth filled up with blood, he dropped his gun and released his Hold on Holly who rushed to Tirdad aid, the bullet had hit one of his ribs, he was going to be alright, both him and Holly turned around to look at Michael as he fell to the ground lifeless with a crowbar lodged in the back of his head, and standing behind Michael … was Andy, only it wasn’t the Andy they recognized, his Hair was gone, most of his flesh had literally fallen off, he was bleeding from many parts of his body and had left a trail of blood, and he was shaking very badly, it was a very graphic site, Andy fell to he knees, Shell rushed to his aid “NO GET AWAY FROM ME” yelled Andy, Shell stopped right in her Tracks, Holly felt like vomiting as did Tirdad and Shell, “What happened” asked Tirdad who was starting to cry, “I was locked in the reactor by Michael; I was exposed to high levels of Radiation” said Andy, “Forget about me just get his stuff and go,” “No we’re not leaving you behind” said Shell, “You don’t have a choice, I won’t make it, and I think that dick General was only going to postpone the Danger zone for whoever stops the meltdown, you’ve 5 minutes get out of here while you still can, but Shell do me a favour, point your gun at my head, and Shoot me!” said Andy, “I can’t” said Shell who almost felt like breaking into tears, “Then get Michael’s stuff and go,” snapped Andy “But…” started Tirdad, ”GO NOW” Yelled Andy Tirdad Grabbed Michael gun and Holly Grabbed his bag, Andy didn’t have his bag, all three of them Started to cry, “Thank you Andy” said Tirdad “Give ‘em hell for me!” said Andy as he stopped breathing and fell to the ground lifeless “No” cried all three of them, as they ran out the Door to avoid the possibility of a danger zone, as the three of them crossed the border in to C8 all three of them broke down into tears, Tirdad, was hurt the most, He had witnessed his best friend dying right in front of him, and he couldn’t do anything, all three of them were immobilised by the sadness of losing one of their friends, the friend that had just saved them, * * * Earlier Andy was pounding on the door as hard as he could he notice by doing that he made the crowbar lodged in the door budge, he kept on hitting the door, as hard as he could as he felt the effects of Radiation, eventually the Crowbar fell to the ground and the door swung open, Andy grabbed it and hurried to the front door to save his friends.
