Chapter Fourteen

(Tom)

I watched as it all went down in front of me. Dennis and Dipper were taking out goons one by one, either badly crippling them or killing them. I helped by shooting the armed goons with their trigger happy ass fingers deadset on the triggers.

The Cult leader was still laughing like a madman, he was obviously enjoying watching his men get ripped to pieces by Dipper and Dennis. Blood splattered across the ground as this was practically an all out war. Dipper and Dennis got done destroying the last goon before the Cult leaders laughing finally stopped.

He looked at us with a surprised face, "ohh~ so you've actually survived?" he clasped his hands together. Why was this fucker so confident? "Are you done now!?" Dennis yelled. I looked behind us to see how the rest were doing. Blaire, klancy, Daniel, and Jean were all standing behind us with their guns pointed and ready.

"What else could you possibly do? All of your men are defeated, you're the only one standing and you're outnumbered, 1 to 7" Dennis announced. The man laughed harder, wheezing and coughing like he was dying.

"What the fuck is so funny? You're about laugh your intestines out of your body dickhead" Dennis swore at the leader.

From his pockets the leader drew a syringe filled with an orange substance. "Does did look familiar Dennis~?" the man teasingly cooed. "Dennis, what is he holding do you know?" I asked him concerned.

"No actually I don't, what is it?" Dennis asked. "Hehehe, it's what the scientists from that little bunker a few towns back injected you with when they brung you there" he giggled.

We all froze, that's the enabler that gave Dennis his abilities? "How do you even have it? I'm more then sure something that top secret wouldnt be lying around" Dennis said. "Oh, but it was~ A little ways after you were gone I imagine, me and my boys swept the place clean, and I found this little here syringe full of this wonderous substance~" he stretched his words out teasingly.

I just wanted to rock the bastards face into his neck, but I didnt know what the next move was. "So what are you going to do with it then?" Dennis asked.

"Welllll~ One of those pesky flesh eating pieces of shit managed to rip into my flesh, I believe the liquid here will grant me immunity to such virus?" he says. The question sounds rhetorical, but I have no idea what the answer is anyway.

Not waiting for anyone to answer, the madman drives the needle into his bite infected arm. "Ohohohoho~ That's the stuff" the leader breathes out as the substance visibly flows throughout his veins.

"In a matter of time, I should be bite free and powered up so that I can kill ALL of you, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~" his laugh rings throughout the area, but something was wrong.

The bite wasnt healing, it wasnt getting any better then the sickly red and purple it already was. Black began to flourish throughout his veins as the viral infection didnt fight the failed cure. It mixed with it.

"What the fuck?" Jean swears. I almost forgot the rest of them were standing behind us, witnessing this whole menagerie unfold. The madman's arm began grotesquely pulsating, the black from his veins traveling all around his body and pouring from his eyes and mouth.

"W-well this isnt what I-I expected hehe~" he choked on his words. Even while being turned he still manages to keep his sanity lost. "Heheh-he~ I still feel powerful to b-beat all of yo-URGH" his sentence is cut short. He falls to the ground, hitting his head in the process and blacking out.

"Shit what do we do now?" Klancy asked from behind us.

"We have to make sure he stays down, asleep for eternity" Dennis says as he changes his hand into their claws.

He steps up to the madman, pushing his fingers together in a spear-like formation. Summoning all his strength, he plunges his fingers down.

In a flash he was blown back by force, the body of the madman rose like a marionette. Choked laughter comes from the body as the madman's consciousness continues to fade away as the virus takes over.

"W-Well, it may not be me who will kill you all hehehe-ehehe, but you will die~" he threw his head back and began cackling, black liquid flying out of his mouth before the noise he was making stopped altogether. With his head back, his body began crunching, twisting, and break.

He faced us, All the veins in his head were black, his eyes were white no longer. The black substance had overflown into them, his body was now deformed and disproportionate. This was no longer a human, his sanity mixed with this feral beast would surely make for a terrifying match.

Everything was still and silent, the husk of what use to be a Male human was now staring at us with black shot hunger filled eyes. Slowly, I took a step back towards to others but that only seemed to anger it.

Its face contorted to the emotion rage as it began to slowly make it's way towards us, the rest back away as well. We matched step for step, the further back we went the further towards he came.

Tired of this foolery, he roared, one of anger as he rapidly stumbled his way towards us, the ground vibrating with each step. "RUNNNN!!" I yelled as everyone fled backwards to the car parked into the lot.

Dennis grabbed the keys and hurriedly unlocked all the doors with a button. After that he thrusted to keys into its ignition and rush fully swiped them right. The sound of the engine roared before we were off, a very angry monster chasing after us.

I looked out of the window best I could with my side injury, and began firing off shots into the bastards face. After a few bullets I realized they weren't going to have an effect on the creature, so I ducked my head back into the car and swore.

"Fuck, these bullets dont do shit to him. We need to either shake him off and kill him somehow" I stated. "You're right, but kill him how? We don't have any extreme fire power besides Dennis, do you think you could handle that Dennis?" Blaire asked, "Honestly maybe, I can definitely jump and dodge easily enough but it seems like this guys instincts are as good as mine, maybe even better" Dennis sighed.

"Well we have to figure out fucking something because hes right on our tail!" Klancy yelled. I Looked back and saw the freak hadn't gotten 8 feet closer to us, he was only a little ways away now. "Cant this thing go any faster?!" Jean yelled.

"Do you wanna fucking get up here and drive? If so please be my fucking guest, this shit is stressful enough" Dennis snapped making Jean shut his mouth.

"Fuck, I have an idea" Dennis takes a deep breath, "but you guys probably wont like it" he continued. "Well anything at this point would be good" Daniel said "we just need to kill that thing and be on with it" he finished.

"Ok, so do you guys remember what happened in the warehouse?" Dennis began, "Yeah why?" Blaire asked. "Well, I've figured out that it's kind of a mode of insanity and destruction, but my abilities are amplified while in it." he paused, letting us absorb the information. "So are you saying you want to go into that state, so we can have a fighting chance and beat that thing?" Klancy repeated his plan.

"Yes that's what I mean, I've named it bloodlust since that's exactly what it is, when I get addicted to the killing" he swerved the car while explaining. "Fuck, ok why not" Klancy settled. "So how exactly are you suppose to even get into this state?" Jean asked.

"Well back at the warehouse it happened because I needed to help Klancy and Blaire. Another time it was because I had killed a few monsters and just developed it" Dennis explained. "So then you have to kill for it to trigger? Ok I have a plan" I stated, "We'll drop you off somewhere in this town, you can kill as many zombies as you need and while were dodging him you can show up and get the drop on em" I explained.

"Yeah, ok that sounds good. Who's gonna drive then?" Dennis asked. Jean made his way to the front while Daniel held the steering wheel and pushed on the gas pedals to keep going.

Once the switch was made, we quickly turned a corner and dropped Dennis off into a zombie infested area. "Ok, you sure you got this?" I asked Dennis, "Yeah, I'll be fine Tom" He smiled at me. I smiled back and ducked into the vehicle, the monster slid around a corner and began gunning for us again. Dennis quickly ran while we drove away.

I looked back and saw Dennis slipping into the shadows casted around the buildings breathed relief because he didnt get caught.
