I... I am so sorry... Happy Halloween and thanks to my friend Zephyr for the pre-read. Chapter 1 Before the Infection [Location… Unknown] Time also unknown… ‘So that’s how it ends… fitting…’ Thought a fat rotten bipedal creature as it run towards his target… queen Chrysalis. As the fat undead run… he could hear the voice of his new equine friends… calling for him to stop, pleading him… most of them were crying… all of them were hold in some strange cocoon like looking prison made by the simple changeling drones. “Urgh!” The fatty said as he lost his right arm from a laser thrown by the weakened evil queen. Even with his arm lost, he will never give up until he saved his friends. “BUUUUUUURRRRP!” The fat undead scream as he sprinted at unnatural speeds towards Chrysalis. “NO! STAY AWAY FROM ME!” The evil queen said with fear in her voice as she shot more lasers at the undead fatty, only for the lasers to miss their mark. ‘It’s over…’ Thought the undead as he made his final jump… just to end the wicked queen… and just as he did it… he could see his life flash back to him… [Location… Chicago/ Left4Dead Universe] 18 years old… “This is my story… the story of a fat boy who was always bullied at school.” A voice said in the dark. There in some random back alley a simple fat boy was getting kicked by some guys who believed they have the right to bother kids just to lift their damn egos. Yet this fat kid didn’t bother to defend itself, nor even cry or simply care as he stayed on the ground curled up in a ball while these so called classmates of him kick him. “My dad always told me… son… there is no mayor victory toward bullies than simply not giving a shit.” The voice said as he chuckled a bit. The bullies once they got tired of kicking him, left him angrily because of the simple fact they never heard the fat boy complain or even pay them any attention. “And he was true. It hurt them more to get no satisfaction as they never receive any attention from his victim. Me.” The voice said as it smiled. Once the bullies were clearly far away… the fat boy woke up… ‘Is it over… um… last school bullies always keep me awake.’ The fat kid thought as he got up from the ground, he cleaned the dust from his body, and picked up his back pack what by luck, the bullies didn’t even bother to throw around. “If I were the teacher of a bully school I would give them an F.” He said with backpack in hand heading back home. “Hey Benjamin!” Someone called the fat boy by his name on the distance. Turning around he found one of his two friends… Jeffrey. “Hey Jeff what’s up?” Benjamin said with his typical monotonous voice. “Nothing just heading back home. Say did those guys bother you again?” It was Jeffrey. Jeff is a kid that likes to wear long sleeves hoody clothing all the time, even in hot summers. “Because if they did I will give them a piece of my mind.” Jeff said as he mimic boxing like moves as they both walk home. “Just leave them be. If I really cared, I would have disposed of them already.” Benjamin said not caring one bit. “True…” Jeff said feeling a bit of chilly on his skin, he knew his friend is someone not to mess with… he is secretly a ninja. “Yea you hear that right… I am a ninja…” The Voice in the dark said seriously. “My father was a good business man born in America, until the day he fall in love with my mother who is a beautiful Japanese woman with a long legacy of assassins in the family. Everything I learned… I learned from her.” He said with a smile. “Sure I might be fat, but that is because I was a spoiled brat and I blame mostly my dad for not caring of my own figure. But sure as hell… I was deadly.” He said with a twisted smile on his face. As both friends kept talking they arrived to their neighborhood… simple American homes with simple and tidy front yards filled with rich green grass… the kind of grass you feel like sleeping on top of it and not give a damn as the world keeps its course. “Yo!” to their luck they found the last member of their own friendship circle. Lars... the stoner. Lars is a simple guy who shares a huge fascination with bongs, he end up collecting them in his private base (his basement), and he is also the tallest of the three. Lars approached them on their stroll back home. His backpack has been dragged on the road. “Hey Lars! Ready for the basketball tournament?” Jeff asked as he hopped in place. “You bet!” Lars said with a smile. That was until he saw Benjamin's clothes. “How long?” Lars asked his fat friend with a straight face. “20 minutes.” Benjamin said not looking at him. “HA! You own me 20 bucks man!” Lars said to his friend Jeff as he made hand sign of gimme all your money. “Damn.” Jeff said as he handled the money to Lars. All of them know each other since their first time at school and from time to time they like to bet on each other, whenever it is their fat friend getting bullied, to sports or weed resistance and stuff. “Well here it is… home sweet home… see ya tomorrow guys.” Said Benjamin as he approached his home. “See ya Ben!” Both of his friends said as they kept walking and headed back to their own conversation of their basketball tournament. “They were my best buddies… always helping one another… always pranking or betting one another. The kind of friends you know ya hit jackpot in friendship.” The voice in the dark said with a smile. Benjamin entered his 2 story home… but as soon he closed the door he moved his head to the right just a bit and on time to avoid a knife that was aimed for his head. “Hi mom…” Said Benjamin with a smile. “My mom was the coolest in the world… No seriously, how many moms try to kill you in the time you least expect it?… even in your sleep.” The Voice in the dark said with a warm smile. “Nice dodge, but you need to act quicker.” His mother said as she appeared behind him in a flash of gas bomb, dress in pink ninja clothes. “Ready when you are.” Benjamin said only to start blocking kicks and punches from his own mother, and as they kept fighting they made a mess of the living room, destroying furniture and paintings… The only huge difference was the unfair advantage of him to fight his mother without any weapon… she was attacking him with her katana and kunai arsenal. The showdown lasted a full hour. Benjamin was sweating a lot because of the simple fact he was fat and had little condition on his body. “Let me guess… *pant* you wanted new furniture… *pant*?” Benjamin asked still in defensive position as he observed his mother not tired at all. “Oh yes, I got tired of all the brown. But what do you think? Blue sky or dark blue for the new sofas?” His mother asked as she kicked what’s left of the shattered brown sofa. “Blue sky would match better with the paint of the room (which is baby blue).” Said Benjamin now finally catching his breath. “Mmm… not bad. Take a shower; also I left a present in your room.” His mother said with a smile as she headed to her dojo, built in their backyard. Exhausted from the showdown… Benjamin headed upstairs to his room… and found something on top of his bed he never believed he would get… a limited edition Derpy toy form his favorite show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. “Best mom in the world I told ya. Also there is nothing wrong in liking a show aimed for little girls. It’s simply awesome; you should watch it, to know what I mean.” The voice in the dark said as he chuckle a bit. The next day was simple… go to school… hang with friends… the usual… that was until he left the basketball tournament. No, Benjamin didn’t participate on it, he hates sports. The tournament was hold on the school gym, and his friends stayed to do something that they needed to do after the competition. So as he headed back home he passed next to the alley where those bullies attacked him yesterday… only to find them again and this time they were bothering what looked like a blond cheerleader. “Hey babe why is a girl like you all alone around this parts.” Teasingly said the leader of the gang. “Let me go or I will tell my boyfriend about you and believe me he will kick your ass like there is no tomorrow.” The cheerleader said with a posh like accent as she threated the gang who drag her to the alley. “Well your boyfriend is not here.” An other of the gang members said as he slapped the butt of the cheerleader. She slapped his face with indignation only to receive a punch in her face by the same guy who slapped her butt, making her fall on the ground with a thud… “My dad also told me… if some male dares to lift a finger on a defenseless woman… his masculinity license should be removed with pain.” The voice in the dark said with a wicked grin. Benjamin not bothering to make his presence known to the 6 gang members, took the element of surprise on his favor as he attacked one of the gang members with a strong blow on the back of his head leaving him knocked out. By the time they knew what was going on, two more fell on the ground completely unconscious. The last three members, completely enraged, charged Benjamin only to end in deep shit… it didn’t took him more than 10 seconds flat to deal with the remaining members. The cheerleader stayed on the ground really pleased to know the ruffians got what they deserved for messing with her as she observed this overweight boy deal with them. With all the gang members unconscious, Benjamin approached the cheerleader and offered her a hand to help her get up. She gladly accepted it. “Thanks.” The cheerleader said to Benjamin as he helped her get up on her feet. “It was nothing…” Benjamin said with a smile. But what he didn’t know was that the gang member leader got back on his feet with a balisong knife in his hand. “Look out!” The cheerleader said as she saw the gang member ready to stab Benjamin. Benjamin quickly turned around in a defensive position to face the gang leader only to find it again knocked down on the floor very quick… because a huge, HUGE guy in football uniform gave it a huge punch on his back skull making it literally crack. “John!” The cheerleader said with a smile as she run and hugged her boyfriend. “Hey babe ya miss me.” John the leader of the football team of Benjamin's school said to his girlfriend. “Where the hell were you? These guys were about to rape me!” The cheerleader said as she punched John’s chest, really angry. “Hey I just arrived here only to find someone already dealt with them. Speaking of someone, I want to thank you for helping my girlfriend.” John said to Benjamin. “It was nothing really… I am happy to help someone in need.” Benjamin said. “Well thanks. My name is John and this pretty girl over here is Amanda.” John said as he stretch his arm to Benjamin to shake hands. “Benjamin. Ben to my friends.” He said as he shook hands with John. “That my friends, was the day I made two more friends with the coolest people in the world… John and Amanda. Summing my already friends Jeff and Lars the awesome was double.” The Voice in the dark said with a smile, remembering the good times. Life kept its course and everything went as expected, the full gang of friends enjoyed staying in school together and living their lives as they pleased without a care in the world… “Sure everything was blueberry pie and cake in our lives… until the day… of the infection…” The Voice in the dark said as he showed his face in front of a small light… revealing nothing more than the special infected called… Boomer. You still here? omg... > After the Infection (part 1 of 2) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You still wish to read my story... I don't know if you have guts or just looking for a quick way to die? Thanks again to my friend Zephyr for the pre-read. Chapter 2 After the Infection (Part 1 of 2) [Location… Random apartment] time unknown… “I was in the university when it all started, students started to attack one another or rip their flesh apart, whichever came first it was a massacre.” The Boomer said seriously and almost sad (We shall call him Ben from now on since that is the real name of the boomer). “Of course I could survive, I was a ninja after all, but sadly one of my friends got infected and bite me… The result was me end up wandering around the streets like some random guy high on cocaine. That was until the infection changed me… turning me into some sort of special infected, with the will to think and do as I please… Sadly I still attacked living beings because the virus forced me to do it… So… what ya think of my story?” Ben said finally… to a common infected who just stayed looking at him with a what the fuck face. The common infected are dumb, they can’t understand each other and they can only growl just to tell other infected to stay away from him or her. In this case the infected only saw his brother (the infected refers to themselves in brothers, sisters relationship… almost) the Boomer only burping and blabbering nonsense to him. Not caring anymore what the Boomer is saying (since he never understood him to begin with) the common infected wandered down the hall he was located leaving the boomer alone… ‘sigh’ Ben thought as he saw the common infected he was trying to talk to leave his line of sight. ‘It’s been days since I talked with someone, most of the special infected left the city just to keep hunting humans… especially my friends…’ Ben thought sadly… well by exception of the Tank (John) and the Witch (Amelia)… but the problem with both is that they turned… really unstable… not a single infected dared to approach them, they know they will find only death if they bother them. Once Ben got bored of thinking senseless things he headed to his apartment room which is located 2 floors up. Before we proceed… This boomer is unique among his special infected boomer brothers… calling himself… Ninja Boomer… Instead of sacrificing himself in suicide missions like his brothers (called kamikaze boomers), he attacks always at a distance with his bile and moves a bit faster and swiftly. Also his bile range is increased by 30% more range than a regular boomer, it last 20% more blind time on victims and his claws can do quick damage at close distances. Hell if he lived in the world of Team Fortress they would call him the Saxton Hale of boomers. Why? That would be because of his terrible bile for is upgraded to call a full horde (the kind of horde you get from hitting car alarms if you play L4D). Unlucky for him his bile also takes longer to load. What also distinguish him from other boomers are his clothes for they are simple ninja black clothes who got a bit torn apart by his mutated body. On the fun side of his description, he carries on his back two sheathed katanas… but he got so fat thanks to the infection he can no longer reach them with his inflatable arms. Now back to the story… Once he reached his apartment with the door already thorn to shreds since both the common and special infected can’t open something as simple as a door even if they have their intelligence back… don’t ask why… but maybe the virus just hates doors… Inside his apartment was a huge mess, where once stood his proud living room now is nothing more than broken furniture and blood form the unlucky human bastard that thought it was ok to steal his apartment supplies in his zombie like state. Not actually paying attention to it, he headed to his room which is located beyond a small hallway that connected to his bathroom and his closet. But since he got fatter from the infection he got no choice but to tear down the walls from his living room, his closet and his destination. Moving easily thanks to the job he already made long ago with the huge holes in the walls, he entered his room just to find one common infected sitting on what was his bed. He never minded the common infected in his home since they never cared about what he did and they usually come and go. Not paying attention to the common infected on his bed he stood in front of his computer what by pure luck, he left on before turning himself into a boomer back then. Funny that he could use the computer thanks to his mouse already covered a bit in blood and drops of bile. Yet he still can’t open doors even if he could use a computer like a zed pro. Sadly the internet was long since gone thanks to the infection… but his cunning mind left him prepared in case something like this would happen. He saved many archives, from music, games, movies, TV series, etc. Right now he felt a bit depressed for the lack of communication with other intelligent special infected and what better way to fix his depression than to watch his favorite show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Good for him to have all 13 and a half seasons of mlp:fim… Hasbro never finished the show, they also got the infection problem… As our Ninja Boomer was watching his favorite episode called the Royal Weeding, he was smiling. That was until he was bothered by a human hand literally thrown at him in the face. Angry he looked to the source of whoever dared to bother him in his happy time, just to find none other than the leader of the gang he dealt back then… now him is nothing more than an annoying Hunter. “Hey pony lover! Did you miss me?!” The Hunter said with mockery in his voice. “What do you want Max... You know better than to bother me in my happy hour…” Ben said not amused as he also hates to talk with this special infected with the brain of a common infected ant. “I need your help to deal with four survivors.” Max the Hunter said with a hint of thirst for vengeance in his voice… that was when the Ninja Boomer looked the Hunter chest just to find it almost tiered apart by what look like a shotgun wound. “See if I care… time for ponies…” Ben said looking back at the computer screen to keep enjoying his favorite show. “What if I told you… the survivors killed the Tank and the Witch.” Max said with a twisted grin as he showed his sharp rotten teeth. Ben got pale… well if he was alive he would look pale by the news the Hunter give him. “Which Tank and Witch?” Ben said with fear in his voice. “You know which ones I am talking about…” Max keep taunting him with his rotten smile. Only to be surprised by the quick movement of the Ninja Boomer, he grabbed the Hunter by the neck quickly and stamped him on the wall. “LIAR!” Ben was clearly angry it even scared the common infected that was on his bed, to leave his apartment as quickly as possible. “I am not lying! I swear they are dead! Please don’t kill me!” Max said wimping since his health was very low and a simple swipe from the ninja boomer would finish what the shotgun started. “ROAR!” Ben was so angry he made a hole in the wall of his room to the street, once he released Max from his grip of course. With the new hole in his apartment he jumped from the 10th floor to the streets below… once he landed a crater was made on the street but he didn’t get wounded. Getting up from a crouching like position he sprinted to where he knew Amanda stayed to sob. Hoping it was just a sick joke from Max… It took him an hour to reach the place only to see countless bodies of common infected on the floor… death by bullets and what look like a pipe bomb. But what called his attention… was the claw that was hanging from a hole in a metal door… “No…” Ben said as he approached the door slowly only to his fears be confirmed of what he saw inside the hole… Amelia… his ex-best friend was dead from multiple bullet shots… Later he found the corpse of his ex-friend John under the debris of an apartment… the hulk of a zombie didn’t stand a change against all the bullet wounds in his body and what look like a fall from 20 floors. The Ninja Boomer was sad… way sadder than ever… he remembered all those good times he spent with them, from going to the sea, to even going camping with the rest of his friends. They laughed… they played… they had a nice life… now they were gone… it already pained him to know the infection didn’t made them like him and his two friends… but watching them completely gone… was the last straw in the Ninja Boomer life… he cried bloody zombie tears for the death of his friends… In the distance Max followed him as he observed one of the mightiest infected with a broken hearth… if it has one left to begin with. Sure Max is one hell of an asshole but he knows the boomer’s pain for his gang already died at the hands of the military when they tried to take over the city… all of them were Hunters… the best pack he ever had… Once the Ninja Boomer stopped crying… he turned to Max, he knew he was there looking at him all along… “Where are they?…” If words could kill… Ben voice would destroy the planet. Far away in a safe house, on top of the subway station were 4 survivors by the names of Bill, Louis, Francis and Zoey, resting a bit from the run of their lives… they have dealt with not only a witch but also with a tank that almost killed Zoey. Not to mention the small horde thanks to Francis' good aiming skills shooting a car alarm just because a boomer was hidden behind it. Louis all of a sudden awaken from his slumber, for his pill senses told him something was really pissed and it was because of them. Getting up from the floor he approached the block's less safe door and took a look outside only to see common infected bumping into each other and some just leaning against walls, etc. But what called his attention… were yellow eyes coming from a pitch-black tunnel… these eyes were looking into is very soul with unimaginable hate… Louis blinked once, just to find the eyes in the tunnel gone… “I need pills.” Louis said as he let his hands rest on top of his head. [Location… Hell begins (No Mercy Campaign)] 6 hours later… “Everybody ready?!” Bill asked with his trusty M16 assault rifle in hand. “Yeah!” Came from the rest of the survivors as they loaded their own weapons. “Down the hole we go then.” Bill said as he opened the safe room door. “Let’s do this!” Francis was the first to descend the hole that will lead them to the red line subway station and from there they will head to the evacuation zone currently located in ‘Mercy Hospital’. “Weapons hot!” Bill told them as they shot the common infected that were charging at them. Sadly for them… the Ninja Boomer and Max the Hunter were watching them from above… “Let the games begin…” Ben said to himself. “Yesss.” Max said with hunger. Once the survivors dealt with the few infected that were located near their safehouse, Francis heard a burp and a growl… “I hear a Boomer and a Hunter.” Francis said with his shotgun in hand. “Where?” Zoey asked as she stayed alert with her dual pistols. “I think it’s coming from- *BLAAAAGH!*” Francis was interrupted as he ended up covered in bile with the rest of the survivors. “Eww!” Zoey and Louis said together. “Stay alerted, those boomers like to attract small hordes with their bile.” Bill said quickly even if he along with his friends couldn’t see thanks to the sticky bile. A huge wail of the infected could be heard… “Bill… that’s not a small horde…” Francis said with worry, it was the sound the infected made when he shot by accident the car alarm. “Shouldn’t the effect of turn blind with the bile be over by now?” Zoey ask as she tried to remove the sticky bile from her face. “What about the hunt- OW GET IT OFF ME!” Louis said as he was pinned down and getting ravaged by the hunter they heard. “Louis where are you?!” Francis tried to find him with his temporal blindness. That was until the angry snarls of the common infected were heard. “Oh shit, here they come!” Bill said as he tried to shove the infected away from him with also temporal blindness. It took the survivor a long time to deal with the common infected and by the time Francis along with Zoey and Bill lose the effects of the bile, they realized, Louis was turned to shreds… and the hunter was nowhere to be seen… “Oh god Louis…” Zoey said with tears in her eyes. “Aww man this is bad…” Francis said as he picked up the health kit Louis was carrying… he will no longer need it. “We can’t stop now. We must reach Mercy Hospital if we want to survive.” Bill said as he reloaded his M16. Zoey along with Francis could only nod as they followed Bill, leaving the lifeless body of Louis as they took the stairs… “HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA! That was golden they just left their safe house and we already killed one of them! HAHAHHAHAA!” Max was rolling on the ground as he laugh next to the Ninja Boomer. “Let’s just deal with the rest once I get my bile ready…” Ben said with anger in his voice… he didn’t care if it was funny… all he wanted was revenge. “Move…” Ben chosed that moment to leave his hidden place to go after the survivors. “You are no fun.” Max said still smirking as he followed his temporal companion. Hours later… Both the hunter and the ninja boomer stalked the remaining survivors along the wrecked red line station. On their way they found another special infected who took interest in the survivors… it was a smoker, nothing more than a special infected who likes to use his long tongue to snarl his victims and drag them towards himself. But as they stalked the survivors something happened… “Can anyone hear me! Let me out!” Someone screamed in the distance… it sounded a lot like… “Louis? No way. Did you guys hear that?” Francis said with a very surprised expression. “It must be a trap!” Zoey said, all they knew was Louis is dead and yet this voice… “Let’s go find out.” Bill said as they followed the voice of who they believed is their dead friend. Also the special infected were surprised… at least Max and Ben for the smoker wasn’t with them. “It can’t be! I killed him with my own claws!” Max said as he headed back to the killing spot just to make sure the body is still there. “Let’s go smoker…”Ben said as he keep following the survivors with his new ally. The survivors arrived to the end of what was left of the redline station… nothing more than a blocked pile of debris in the train tracks. At the moment they exit the broken train they had to enter to reach here. This room was nothing more than the end of the line… stairways could be seen on the left side of the tracks and there was a small room to the right… Louis' voice could be heard from the right side… “Let's go.” Bill said as they entered the right side… in the small room there was nothing more than some huge pipes and a small closet like door… the sound came from behind said door. “Ok I will open the door. You two get ready to fire if is some sort of new special infected.” Bill said as he and his companions took positions… Zoey aimed his pistols to the closed door along with Francis and his trusty shotgun. Bill placed a hand on the door knob… “GO!” Bill shouted as he quickly opened the door on a safe side. Only to find a certain black man fall on the floor for he was trying to push open the door. “LOUIS!” The survivors shouted really surprised as they saw the guy on the floor was no other than their companion Louis who died back there thanks to the hunter attack. “Ow… Yea I miss you too…” Louis said as he got back on his feet. Far away from them with the special infected a certain Ninja Boomer was really pissed… “HAAAAAAAAAAX!!!!” Ben shouted to the skies. “Hey I am back. The body is still there and- oh shit.” Max said as he finally saw Louis. [Location… No Mercy finale] 28 hours later… The survivors were at the top of the roof as they defended their last stand against the common infected and special infected. Louis was using the mounted machinegun that was left thanks to the military. While Bill was still using his m16, Zoey her sniper rifle and Francis was using his new favorite auto shotgun. They had a very hard time to reach the hospital just because that cursed boomer kept barfing on them… But thanks to their luck they realize they can’t die for somehow they can respawn inside closets for no apparent reason. Francis ended up dropping the gay jokes when he died for the first time… Also they still can’t figure why they can’t open the closets on their own when they respawn, considering the doors are not even locked. And to further increase their luck they find out that by dying all at the same time they respawn all back to the safe house… it happened when it involved the panic attack of the ninja boomer bile and a molotov… and a witch… and a tank to sauce the epic fail. By now the Ninja Boomer was left with new companions, Max got tired of trying to kill that which looks like can’t be killed… permanently… “The chopper is here!” Francis said as they just finished killing the tank that was harassing them. “Hurry!” Bill said as him along with the rest of the survivors headed to the helicopter to finally escape this hell hole. The special infected tried to stop them only for a few of them to end up dead by the rain of bullets the survivors were releasing... “ROAR!” Another Tank entered the field. “TANK!” Louis screamed. “We are almost there!” Zoey said as they finally managed to get inside the helicopter on time. Closing the door of the rescue chopper they left Mercy Hospital safe and sound. “We made it! Woooo!” Louis said on his seat. “Good job team.” Bill said with a smile. “Finally some well earn rest.” Zoey said to Louis. “Ha take that you wussies!” Francis said as he flipped the infected on the roof from the chopper. Everything was smiles until… The boomer nation attacked... “I CAN’T SEE!” The pilot said, he was covered in bile. All the survivors turned their attention to the pilot only to see their biggest fear clinging to the side of the helicopter… the Ninja Boomer. “This will be the longest days of our lives…” Bill said as he reloaded his M16. You still alive? Wow, you must be really tough. > After the Infection (part 2 of 2) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You still wish to keep on reading! All my Internets to you! if I had any to give... Thank my friend Zephyr for the pre-read, thank you. Chapter 3 After the Infection (Part 2 of 2) That’s how the infinite hell started for the survivors… that Ninja Boomer just simply never left them alone, it followed them wherever they went… from small towns filled with crazy priests. “DING DONG, DING DONG, DINNER IS SERVED! COME AND GET IT!” Priest of the Death Toll church. “That son of a bitch!” Bill said as he could hear the infected getting attracted by the church's bell... and to spice things up they got biled… again… To the simple farm lands… “I hate crows!” Francis said as they run for their lives inside a corn field, said crows have attracted the horde. “I see an exit just up ahead!” Louis said as they reached the end of the corn field… only to find the Ninja Boomer waiting for them with lots… LOTS of common infected. “Shit…” Zoey said, this would be the third time the ninja boomer would force them to respawn back to the safe house… That ninja boomer made their lives a living hell… and they still couldn’t kill him! Well except for that time… [Location… Dead Air campaign] dawn… “I see the bloody bastard!” Francis was chasing the ninja boomer inside a parking lot, he really got tired of end up covered in his bloody bile. “Francis you asshole come and help us!” Zoey said, she along with the rest, were covered in bile by exception of Francis. ‘Shit, shit, shit.’ Ben thought as he run through the parking lot with Francis trying to shot him down. By pure luck the ninja boomer found some stairs that will lead him to the safe room located just entering the airport. “Stop running you fatso!” Francis said as he kept following him. That was until he saw the Ninja Boomer enter the safe house… “HA! Nowhere to run!” Francis said almost as he just won the lottery ticket. “Prepare to die!” Francis said with his shotgun pointed to the Ninja Boomer as soon he entered the safehouse. “Any last words fatso?” Francis with a smile asked it if it could even talk. “Burp.” The Ninja Boomer said as he pointed one of his claws to one corner of the safe house. Francis still with a smile look were the boomer pointed to find… “RRRRR!” The witch was getting angry. “Shit.” Were Francis' last words… Yea they almost got him that day… The ninja boomer… never left them alone… hell the survivors can’t even sleep if they heard a simple burp… and to make matters worse he found his friends on his journey… Jeff the hunter and Lars the smoker… together they made the survivors suffer for what they did to John and Amelia. That was until that tragic day… [Location… The Sacrifice Campaign] Midnight… The survivors were all on top of the bridge that was slowly lifted up so they could use the sail ship they found to escape the living hell they were enduring… That was… until the bridge stopped lifting midway… “Oh no. The generator is not working!” Francis said as he observed the gasoline generator that was powering the bridge, stopped working. “TANKS!” Louis shouted for they could see three tanks coming from the distance. “What are we going do?!” Zoey said with fear, they can barely kill one tank… but three would be suicide. In the distance observing the survivors demise… “Don’t you think that is a bit overkill?” Jeff asked his friends. “Naaa, they would be fine as always.” Lars said as he smoked some weed from his traveling bong. “…” Ben just kept quiet as he observed what was going to happen. “Forgive me Zoey…” Bill said as he stole Zoey’s Molotov cocktail and jumped from the bridge to make work the generator again. “Bill… BILL!” Zoey said scared and surprised. Bill didn’t look back as he activated the generator back to life… and the tanks were coming for him… “There is something wrong…” Ben said as he jumped from his hidden place on one of the rooftops to get closer… “Ben?” Said both Jeff and Lars. “Better check what is going on.” Lars was about to follow Ben only to be stopped by Jeff. “Are you crazy there are three mad tanks, they would turn us to pieces if they see us.” Jeff said as he remembered that time they tried to work with a tank only to almost end up smashed by the enraged infected. “Besides he can survive just about anything.” Jeff reassured his friend Lars. “Hope you are right…” Lars said with uncertainty. Bill was trapped in a generator room... weakened form the attack of one of the tanks, they throw him a huge chunk of rock and it hurt him a lot… Bleeding and weak… Bill rested on the floor with is back on the powerless generator that once powered the bridge. The tanks… entered the room where he was located and they all looked at him with their enraged jawless faces… Bill just knew… it was his time… taking a lighter from his pocket… He lighted what would be his last cigarette… “What are you waiting for?…” Bill asked the tanks. As if understanding him all three of the tanks lifted their arms in the air ready to finish Bill… only to the tanks end up covered in dark looking bile… All the common infected that were in the area charged the tanks as they were blind and bumping into each other, they could not see, it made them leave the generator room, leaving Bill alone. Even if Bill was really weak… he didn’t understand… what happened?… Did one of his friends came back to safe him?... No… it was something else entirely… “Burp?” Came from Bills left… turning his face weakly he observed his greatest enemy… the ninja boomer… “So… You wanted to finish the job yourself?…” Bill asked it. The ninja boomer said a simple no with his head movement… Bill… blackout… With Bill lying there almost dead… the Ninja Boomer didn’t waste time and lifted Bill from the ground with his left claw and held his body as he crouch next to it… now with his body secured he left the generator room with an unconscious Bill… The bridge was fully lifted… and Zoey was crying on Francis' shoulder, they clearly believed Bill didn’t made it and poor Louis was unconscious on the floor after getting hit by a chunk of rock. “I will miss that old man…” Francis said as he tried to comfort Zoey. That was until they heard a familiar… “Burp…” Francis turned around to the sound without even lifting his shotgun as Zoey kept on sobbing on him. “What?! Now are you here to mock us! Is that it! Of all the things in the world, the one I hate the most is you and I don’t want to see your ugly face right now!” Francis said this to his greatest nemesis with a fire in his voice that could burn a hundred suns. But what he found left him with an open mouth… The Ninja Boomer approached him and dropped Bill on his feet, then walked a few steps back. At the sound of something big being dropped in front of Zoey she stopped crying to see what it was. Just to find Bill on the metal floor of the bridge they were standing. Quickly releasing Francis she bend down to check on Bill. “He is still alive!” Said Zoey as she check his pulse. But how, she wondered. How did he got here? That was when she saw him… “Burp...” The Ninja Boomer said simply as he observed the survivors… “I-I-I don’t even…” Francis was trying to process what was going on in front of him… his greatest enemy just saved Bill. “Thank you… Thank you so much…” Zoey said with joyful tears to the ninja boomer. The Ninja Boomer was about to reply again only to be shot many times making him knock back and fall from the bridge to the lake… as they heard a huge splash… Zoey in shock and anger turn to the source of the fire, to find Louis who just recently awoken from his unconsciousness and since he saw their mortal enemy he thought they were in danger so it shot it. “Why did you shot him!” Zoey said with anger as she got up and headed to the rail of the bridge were the ninja boomer fell. “What? Why are you mad at me?!” Louis said confused. “That would be because that very asshole you shot… Saved Bill!” Francis said to Louis. Once Zoey was on the edge as she only scream one thing… “Boomer!” but this time it wasn’t in warning… this time it was with care… she care for it… ‘Is this the end?…’ Ben thought to himself as he descended to the bottom of the river… his back facing the endless abyss as he watch the light of the moon shining on his face… “Boomer…” Someone was screaming his name from the surface… yet he could barely hear it as he kept descending… water started to fill his so called undead lungs… ‘Why did I save him?...’ He asked the question… not with regret… but with mere curiosity… did he grow fond of the survivors?... or because he admired Bill's guts to save his companions by almost giving away his life to save theirs?… the more he thought, the more he believe it was the latter… for he would also give away his own life to save his friends… ‘Can’t breathe… Funny… I always thought we were already dead to begin with… but it looks like I was always alive… only mutated…’ If the boomer could chuckle in the bottom of the river by the simple discovery of always being really alive, he would… blackness took control of his infected life… [Location… The end of the world] minutes later… Ben opened his eyes… He was inside a spotless white room… so white it made him almost feel sick. Looking at his hands he realized, he was still infected by just looking at his dirty claws… ‘Well I am not dead yet... That is a start…” He thought to himself, only for his thoughts be interrupted by the sound of a white speaker that was hidden on top of the roof he was located… “Ben Matthias Maki, please report to room 69 down the end of the hall, thank you.” The speaker said with a very raspy voice. Then a door was open on the white room he was located… With curiosity he took a step outside only to find a grey hallway filled with strange creatures and people he could not recognize… all of them wore different types of clothes, weapons and stuff he couldn’t recognize… also he found out this hallway was filled with Halloween decorations. But as soon he stood outside… everyone stopped doing what they were doing just to observe the lucky bastard who will enter room 69. “What is him?” Asked an old man with a patch and military clothes to what look like a small guy with elf like ears and carry a sword with shield on his back. “He is one of those infected from that infested zombie planet.” The little guy replied to the patch guy. With a simple burp from our hero… He headed towards room 69… everyone made way for him staying close to the wall as they saw the fat looking zombie head to the room everyone wished to go one day. As the ninja boomer moved true the hallway he started to feel… uneasy with all the stares he was receiving from the creatures and humans that made way for him… Hell he could almost swear he saw what looked like a black man with a patch told him ‘guts and glory lad’ as he took a swig of some sort of alcohol like drink stored in a brown bottle with a blue tag. It took him only 2 minutes to reach the room… yet the walk made him feel like an eternity with all those stares… the room 69 door opened on itself… “Mr. Ben. Please come in.” Some lady like voice came from inside the room. The Ninja Boomer simply obeyed… Once inside he found a blonde lady with withe lab clothes sitting behind a white desk like the room he was located at the moment. “Mr. Ben right?” Asked the lady as she checked some papers on her table. “Burp.” The ninja boomer actually said yes even if he could only communicate with other special infected. “Oh right. I always forgot…” The lady said as she clicked a button on the table. “Say that again Mr. Ben.” The lady commanded the Ninja Boomer as she kept looking at the papers in her hands. “Yes.” Ben replied. “Good I can understand you now. Welcome to the end of the world Mr. Ben.” The lady said as she drop the papers on the table. “The end of the world?” Ben asked confused. “Yes. This is the place every videogame character goes after dying in their universe. Of course our job is to bring them back to their realm even if they die from something as cliché as drowning.” The lady told the last part with annoyance in her voice. “But… You Mr. Ben. You are a special case. Here in my papers they tell me you have never died before in your realm until now… Is that true?” She said a bit surprised. “Died?... videogame? Is this heaven? Or hell?” Ben asked now confused. “I can’t believe it. You a simple villain character stayed alive after so many days without dying at all. I congratulate you, for you just earned a very important achievement in the end of the world.” She said as she got up from her seat just to take a closer look to the ninja boomer. “Who are you?” Ben ask more confused than ever. “Oh silly me, where are my manners? My name is A.I.002 second in command. My friends call me number 2.” She said standing in front of the ninja boomer. “What is this achievement you talk about?” Ben asked as he just found out half of the lady's body is nothing more than metal. “The achievement is if you can survive for a long time (usually the whole game) without dying you get a free wish.” Number 2 said with a smile. “A wish?” Ben asked again surprised… actually he was stunned… “Everything you ever wanted. A castle… no problem, god like power… even less difficult to accomplish, money… all in the universe. Soooo what is your wish Mr. Ben?” Number 2 asked with a warm smile. “Before I tell you my wish… are my friends still alive?… John and Amelia…” Ben asked with sadness. “John and Amelia?… Never heard of them, let me check.” Number 2 said as a computer like screen appear in front of her, moving her arms and fingers on the screen she found what he wanted to know. “They are not on the records. Are you sure that was their name.” She said as she read the files on the computer like screen. “They are a tank and a witch… or they were it seems…” Ben said a bit sad. “Can you mention the last time they died. I might have a record of them going under a different name maybe.” Number 2 said as she keep reading files from her computer. Ben told her everything he knew… the place his best friends died… but what happened was to receive a shock expression from the second in command… “Mr. Ben… do you know your friends never existed… those characters you mention were used for the launch trailer of the game.” Number 2 said. “Game? What are you talking about? I knew them, they were my best friends for most of my life!” Ben said getting inpatient. “Mmm…” Number 2 without asking Ben she push a button on her screen… its purpose was to fill Mr. Ben with the information he wanted to know… all his life… all his purpose was… fake… his life was nothing but fiction… he never had a ninja mother nor a successful business man father… his friends were just programed as him to co-op in the game he was created to serve the need of the humans who play it… Ben's head hurt… he felt extremely sad… all… everything… fake… he needed to escape this reality… he needed to find a place where he can be happy and forget what he just learned here… remembering he won a wish… he took it… “Very well…” Ben said to himself as he collected his thoughts… now looking at number 2 eyes… taking a deep breath… “Can I be sent to the universe of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?” Ben said almost pleading… “You are a brony I see… Rare coming from a zombie but why not, sure I can grant you that wish.” Number 2 said as she made a click of her fingers… he disappear… “Um… I should have asked him if he wanted to be a pony or at least look alive… oh well, back to work.” Said number 2 as she got back to her desk. “Number 2, Link is at the door again.” The raspy voice of the speaker said to number 2. “I swear I will go to that land one day and destroy that water temple myself!” Number 2 said enraged. [Location… Canterlot Royal Wedding day] Minutes before the arrival of the real Cadance with Twilight... Ben appeared magically in the middle of the wedding ceremony, just exactly when the evil queen Chrysalis finished her duet with Cadance… “Aaah!” Said everypony at the same time as they observed the strange bipedal creature that appeared out of nowhere in front of Shining armor, Cadance and princess Celestia. On one side of Ben head he was really happy to be sent to the best place in the whole universe… that was until he look his claws… “Burp (o, oh…)” Ben said to himself realizing he was still a boomer. The guards stationed in the wedding ceremony surrounded him at a distance with their spears at the ready… yet they didn’t dare to approach him for he was still close to Celestia. ‘Think Ben! Think! How can you deal with this situation diplomatically?!’ Ben thought to himself… Until he observed Shining Armor magical shield was still surrounding Canterlot from one of the windows. ‘I know!’ He finally found the solution as an illuminated light bulb appeared on top of his head. Politely… he barfed the bride along with the guards and Celestia. What is that it? NO! ITS NOT OVER YET! MUHAHAHA! Those ponies are in one big of a trouble.... big fat barfing trouble... if you know what I mean.
