Viper pulls into the driveway when he sees the skeletals walking out the trees, one skeletal knocked the two off the bike sending Viper and Wendy flying forward the bag of ammo came off Vipers back and slid to Sajaki's feet. He instinctually picked the bag up and ran inside to count up the rounds and load the guns. Wendy helped Viper to his feet when they assessed the situation they were in, there was a lot more than 20 skeletals, maybe 20 from each angle. They tried to run back to the base for a certain amount of cover but was cut off by the shambling corpses looking for blood. Standing back to back they had very limited weapons, viper only had an M1911 with half a chip and a hammer that he slid into his pocket back at the house but Wendy only had an M1014.

Aiming the pistol Viper managed to hit one of the skeletals in the head knocking it down and causing a small makeshift barrier for the other skeletals to fall over. Wendy starts to try and clear a path towards the base but the number of skeletals meant that moving to the base seemed impossible.

BANG

A quick blast made 3 skeletals tumble backward flinging chunks of decaying flesh and bone in every direction but they stood up almost as fast as they fell over.

One Skeletal managed to grab Wendy on her back, the rotten fleshy hands felt like wet gloves grabbing her. A loud hiss caused her to know she was about to die, Viper swung the hammer landing the claw in the skull caused the creature to fall to the side and sprayed wendy with blood.

"I think this is the end" Viper said between swings of the hammer causing the rotting skeletal to tumble over. Sinking the two claws from the back of the hammer into many different parts of each Skeletal, Viper was shocked when his hammer landed behind the collarbone and got stuck. A boot to the chest and a yank on the hammer caused the collarbone to rip off leaving the arm a dangling mess, Viper gagged at the sight of this and had to stop himself from throwing up.

"No don't say that" Wendy said as she used the butt of her shotgun to smash the closest skeletal in the face. Running out of shells Wendy had to use her gun as a blunt object in the last line of defense.

"GET DOWN" Sajaki shouted as he turned the SAW M249 and started the unrelenting bursts, the recoil from the gun made it hard for him to keep the gun in one place for too long.  

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG

Wendy jumped to the ground instantly but Viper hesitated, seeing the bullets knock the skeletals backward with chunks and limbs flying it seemed like hundreds of skeletals came crashing down. Sajaki grabbed the trigger of the gun tighter as he saw the last few skeletals that showed their presence to the gang.

Viper managed to stand up from the mud after nearly getting eaten and shot when he noticed that Wendy had already run back into the house to reload her gun because she saw the treeline and the second wave of skeletals that waddled their way to the base by tracking the noise of the gunshots.

Walking off into the house Viper looked back to see many of the skeletals trying to stand up, many failing but the SAW M249 didn't seem very effective at killing the skeletals but was very efficient and tearing them up. Thick black goo was littering the floor and the walls of the base, Viper and Wendy were dripping in the foul-smelling goo but they didn't seem to notice as they grabbed their own weapons.

Tiger jumped off the roof landed on the ground, holding his axe tightly he surveyed the area seeing the seemingly hundreds of corpses lying on the ground trying to stand up while missing legs, arms, heads and even lower torsos. He quickly ran around slamming his axe deeply into the hearts of all the struggling Skeletals, about 6 more skeletals were tumbling over their fallen comrades. Tiger killed the first two, one dead by swinging the axe at the skeletals shoulder cutting deep until it severed the heart and turned to goo. The second skeletal grabbed the axe out of Tigers hand using his slightly less than normal rotten arm, using all the strength he could muster up in the small amount of time he had to clench his hand into a fist until his knuckles turned white and smashed it right through its chest tearing through its tank-top, ribs and rotting muscle. The creature turned to goo and dripped all over Tiger.

BANG BANG BANG BANG

Sajaki, Wendy and viper were up on the roof aiming down and shooting the four other skeletals which went down without a fuss. Tiger looked up at the three people aiming at the second row who were making their way as quickly as the first wave was dealt with. The second row of skeletals was also joined but the ferals who were now running for food. Digging their claws in the mud to get enough friction to propel themselves forward.

The first feral jumped at Tiger who managed to swing his axe just time to hit the creature in the face just before contact, slicing straight through the jaw the feral slipped to the side struggling to get a grip on the mud.

"FOOD NOW" The second feral shouted before charging to finally get another meal its been longing for, Tiger shouted at the top of his lungs in a war cry preparing for the worst but the feral tumbled over and slip to Tigers feet. Tiger brought the axe down smashing the chest right open as he looked to the rooftop to see Wendy holding her new pistol with a smile on her face.

"COME ON USE THE SAW I CAN SEE THE SECOND BATCH COMING" Tiger shouted as he watched the second group of skeletals making their way to the base, he knew they wouldn't stop even if they saw hundreds of their own dead on the floor.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG...

"Whats stopping it? comeon!" Tiger looked up at Sajaki shouted as he looked just as confused, Tiger didn't notice the two ferals that were charging at him, when Tiger finally noticed the two ferals he was already getting pinned to the ground.

"The damn things stuck, they're getting pretty close" Sajaki said as he slapped the barrel of gun recoiling from the heat, he turned his to see Wendy gasping and Viper jumping to the ground from seeing Tiger on the ground getting attacked by some ferals.

One feral had his knee on Tigers arms stopping him from moving it, and the second feral was clawing at his feet drawing more blood with each swipe. Tiger screamed in pain from his leg wounded which made the first feral scratch him in the face, the cut from the rotting hand fitted with loose decaying skin went deep in Tiger's face and opened a gash in his eye. Not registering the pain in the moment Tiger did the only thing he knew how to do, fight, a fist to the skull spilled not only the creature's blood but also his own blood.

Viper used to pistol to unload all of his bullets into the two ferals while Sajaki and Wendy were on the roof trying their best to hold the skeletals back from getting to them. The feral that was clawing at Tiger's leg was now slumped on his and not moving whereas the second had nearly a whole clip shot into it and was now a pool of goo on the ground.

"EAT" the feral that was lying on Tigers chest murmured as he beared his fangs and plunged them deep into his stomach.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO" Viper shouted as he kicked the feral off punching into its heart before quickly turning around and dragging Tigers limp body into the house seemingly uncaring of the hundreds of skeletals that must of heard the noise and wandered knowing where there was noise there was food.

"Im gonna die aren't i" Tiger mumbled between hard breaths.

"Don't say that your gonna be fine" Viper said as he kicked the door open and dragged Tiger inside with the lie written all over his face. Quickly closing the door behind them Viper was torn between staying with Tiger for his few final moments or quickly running out to defend the base from the seemingly infinite skeletals crowding at all sides apart from the riverside which would be too dangerous to go down.

"I'm sorry" Viper said as he stood up and ran out the door to help his friends defend the base, the skeletals seemed to be getting closer during their unrelenting walks. As soon as Viper ran outside he looked around and saw the carnage, many of the fallen skeletals were standing up from their down position after taking many bullets. Skeletals were wearing the clothes that they got bit in but they all mad many holes, rips and stains on them.

Locking the door viper tried to take 5 minutes to think about what was happening but got interrupted by the sound of seemingly hundreds of skeletals scratching at the door trying to eat their trapped prey. Sajaki and Wendy jumped down to barricade themselves in the base Wanting to be safe.

"What are we gonna do?" Wendy said as soon as she walked next to the others, she was visibly distraught at the thought of all the skeletals that were trying to get their now trapped prey.

"What we have to" Sajaki replied over the sound of the vampires groaning and Tiger's last forced wheezes, the conversation was interrupted by a skeletals managing to jam its decaying arm through the hole in the window and the wooden boards that covered them, the skin on its arm peeled of unable to go through the small gap like the bony hand could.

Sajaki ran over and used his boot to kick the arm to the side snapping it with a loud crunch that made everyone cringe, the skeletal didn't notice the mass trauma that happened to its arm as it tried to swing with the nub that it possessed. Tiger's breathing had stopped almost to nothing but somehow he was still moving slightly, it seemed like he was changing all his fingernails seemed to fall out causing his body to convulse. Sajaki, Viper and Wendy stood back from his body unsure of what's happening, Wendy heard a voice coming from the back room and slipped away from the crowed trying to take her mind off her dead friend.
