Back At Last And Running Again

Calian POV

We opened the door and Nemesis is at the end of the hallway, staring at us without life and only blood-lust in his eyes. He walks as slowly as ever down the hallway getting near. "Whomever designed the monster must love the use of fear-tactics," Jill muttered and dragged me to the employees office, what are we going to do here.

Jill raised her shotgun and shot out the window at the far edge of the room. "Through here!" She said jumping over the broken window as do I, looks like the Nemesis still walking slowly in the hallway hadn't realized of our ploy. "We can escape quicker through the roof," I said and pointed at the staircase to the storeroom, the ventilation roof it leads to would land us near the subway.

"Let's get going then," we went up the stairs without looking backwards as a roar of anger sounded from the subway office. "It's been quite a day, huh," do you know Jill, that before landing myself into this zombie predicament, I was off in New York befriending the Baba Yaga and destroying a Russian Mafia! I'm just that good you know!

"It's certainly been eventful," Jill grudgingly said in humor as she made her way around the roof and down the ladder. "Either way, we'll be off the city soon enough," oh Jill how incorrect that statement is, I can just imagine a scene of burning trains and the death of refugees and at least a member of the U.B.C.S.

"We haven't escaped yet," I led her through the alley and finally back to the subway station at last! When we entered and closed the gates, we were immediately greeted with Carlos sitting on a bench, looking quite worried. So anxious in fact that he didn't even notice our hurried footsteps and the closing of the front gate, he seriously can't be that oblivious right?

Jill put one finger on her mouth, gesturing for silence, she's going to go there and shock him doesn't she. I really, really pity Carlos at the moment, having his back turned on us, he won't realize the consequences of his actions. Jill counted down with her fingers, 3... 2... 1... Her smile turned sinister and she jumped at Carlos, her hands placed on his shoulders.

After a 0.1 second interval, Carlos screamed hard, his hands held back high and his expression is something you'd die for to see. "Carlos, you're supposed to be a U.B.C.S operative, how do you not notice us when we came in?" Carlos, realizing the plot that had befallen him, groaned and glared at us but mostly Jill.

"I'm extremely worried and you thanked me with this!" Carlos whined grudgingly, his hands now more relaxed and his uneasy expressions gradually reside. "Well, we're done, we have turned on power and planned the train route," Jill beamed and said to Carlos' total delight. "Perfect! If that's all done, then we should have 30 minutes for additional maintenance and we will be prepped for travel!"

Carlos grinned and sighed, "I, all of us couldn't have done it without your help, we sincerely thank you both for everything you've undertaken for us, the U.B.C.S and the survivors," Jill blushed in embarrassment and a little bit of glee, she scratched the back of her head as she smiled sheepishly, "We don't deserve your gratitude, we're just here to help the innocent. After all, it isn't even that hard."

Wow Jill, did you just humble brag in front of me!? Carlos his a laugh and Jill is virtually all smiles by now. The door to our right suddenly opened up as the grey haired man accompanied by a dark skinned fella came out from inside. "Nicholai! How we doin'," Carlos jovially said to the grey haired man with a good mood.

"The whole city's full of them freaks, no chance are we to fight out of the city. Now, why is she here," the grey haired man, Nicholai, finally took notice of Jill and pointed condescendingly at her with his gun. "She turned on the power and planned us the route out of here, she basically did the entire thing!" Carlos smiled more and swaggered on her achievements like it's his own.

"Bad time to take dead weight Carlos! She's unreliable, can't pull the trigger when needed to," Nicholai droned insultingly and Carlos' smile disappeared in an instant, putting his hand on Nicholai's shoulder. "Hey, take it easy," Nicholai stared at Jill with one last malicious gaze before moving downwards adding a, "She'll get you killed," at Carlos.

"Sorry about that, Nicholai's not exactly got the best of tempers," We looked on as the two men disappeared under the staircase and all of a sudden, ROAR! "No! No! No! Not again!" Jill shouted in horror and pressed a button on a wall, which lowered the upper gates. "Go, we'll slow him down!" She didn't even asked for my opinion! She just set me on another run!

Jill went into the exit room and toppled over a cabinet to try and thwart the advance of Nemesis. "Come on you creepy ass f*cker! You want S.T.A.R.S! I'll give you S.T.A.R.S!" She said with rage as we continued running through the corridors and sound of heavy footsteps still behind us. "Is this what you're hoping for applying for S.T.A.R.S Jill!"

I protested and I could feel Nemesis getting closer, what could I do! What could I do! I scrambled through my mind of all the possible items I could use in this terrorizing event. Umbrella? Nope, it won't hold anything against that beast. Perfume bomb? I've only got one, and it's explosive radius might be too much in such small and tight corridors.

The lighter? Small fragmentation explosive at best, it's not going to do a lot. Kingsman watch? It could easily neutralize a human being but not a modified creature like that. How about the 10 fountain pens in my bag, wait a minute, that's it! Fountain pen! The Kingsman fountain pen is a potent explosive capable of erasing a house's entire attic! Not as explosive as the perfume but very effective in the situation.

We are at the end of the line, the end of the long corridor, at the front of a door leading to a place I don't know. I inserted my hand into my bag, scuffling through it to find the pens. "What are you doing Calian, is it some other gadget cause I sure hope so," Jill brought her shotgun and readied to defend with all her life.

"Here it is!" I finally grabbed onto a tiny cylindrical object and pulled it out. A gold fountain pen with the Kingsman insignia appeared on my hand, Jill just stared at it, taken aback and suddenly sneered. "You're gonna take on the f*cking thing! With a f*cking pen!" Jill crazed and all hope were lost from her face.

But just on time, Nemesis appeared from beyond the corner, peering in dangerously as he set foot on the other end of the corridor. "Time to die!" I precisely threw the pen like a dart across the corridor and in no time did it near Nemesis. With its quick response, it grabbed the pen with a tentacle that briskly came from beyond its long sleeve.

In the middle of that sudden stand off, I pulled Jill into the room as we stared on with what would happen to Nemesis. One beep from the pen, second beep from the pen, third beep from the pen and the beeping only got faster to the point where the beeps became attached and form a long sound of just beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

BOOM! The fountain pen exploded in Nemesis' hand and the whole roof collapsed upon it. "HA! Take that Nemesis! See Jill my gadgets are always powerful!" Thank God for this temporary freedom of ordeal! Sod off Nemesis!
