Roots (modern RP)

Ghost pulled a grenade off of his belt and put his fonger on the pin. He looked out of a wondow behind him and saw a lamp post on the street. He pulled the pin on the grenade, dropped it and jumped out of the window, grabbing on th the lamp post and sliding down.

The marine ran over to Shadow and Tricia. He looked at shadow for a moment, then broke his dogtags off of his neck and put them in his pocket, then turned to Tricia. "Wake up, soldier..." He said, loudly. "There's a helicopter waiting to bust us out of here, now get UP!" He looked round to the building that him and ghost were watching the two from before, and as he turned round an explosion roared through the building, debris burying the entire floor that they were on. "Damn it..." He said to himself, then turned back to Tricia.

Karl threw himself out of the window. "Why are you attacking us?" He shouted at the man who had shot Shadow.

Ghost reloaded his revolver, slowly backing away. "What the fuck are you?" He asked, slowly.

"I wish I knew..." Was all Karl could say...

"Christ..." Ghost said to himself, then he saw the enemy sniper. A bullet just missed his head, and he dived behind a car.

The sniper cycled the bolt on his rifle.

Karl drew his pistol and fired two shots off into the shadows from where the sniper bullet came.

The sniper fell back, clutching his shoulder and falling to the ground. "Ah, fuck! Fuck!" He shouted, slowly standing up. Another shot sounded, and the sniper gasped, falling forwards out of the window he was shooting from. He fell down three floors on to a car, then slowly slid off of it. the barrel of ghost's revolver slowly cooled down as he lowered it. "Well it looks like you're not out to kill me," ghost sighed. "Were you in the helicopter that was shot down around here?" He asked, quizzically.

"I was the piolet..." Karl replied. "We were attacked by villagers... But this place is deserted... It's impossible anyone could live here..."

Ghost looked round a corner and saw a squad of marines. "Hang on, we got friendlies!" He said to Karl. "You'd better stay out of sight looking like that, they'll probably try to kill you. unless you can somehow turn in to a more human type thing, which i doubt..."

"Flash!" Ghost shouted, and the marines turned round. "Thunder!" They replied. A sergeant turned round to ghost "you alone?" He asked, slowly. Ghost signalled behind his back for Karl to stay out of sight. "Yeah, just had a close encounter with a sniper, sir." he replied. "So that's what the shots were. Did you throw a grenade as well abgout a half-hour back?" The sergeant asked. A private turned round. "Sir, maybe-"

A sniper round smashed in to the back of his head and he fell to the ground, dead. Ghost and the other four marines dived for cover, as a sniper shot hit another soilder. He dropped to the ground, howling in pain. "Ah christ! My leg, my leg!" He shouted, trying to crawl towards cover. "my god..." Ghost whispered to himself.

Karl snarled slightly... Ghost had told him to stay out of sight... But he had to do something!

Ghost spat. "Fuck, i can't do nothing!" He shouted, running out of cover and dragging the man back in to a building. A sniper shot narrowly missed him. He went upstairs to see if he could find bandages for the wound, but was knoced to the ground from behind. He turned round, trying to get back up, but an enemy kicked him back to the floor, and brandished a knife. "WAIT!" Ghost shouted, as the man brought the knife down, then everything went black.

That was it for Karl... He leapt up and smashed through the side of the building. He threw the man with the knife through the hole in the wall.

The marine looked down at Tricia, then moved on. He saw something kicking off up ahead, and picked up Shadow's chainsaw, and began walking towards it, revving the chainsaw. He walked in the the house, and saw the injured soldier. He stepped over him, walking upstairs. He saw ghost, lying on the floor, not moving, bleeding heavily, then he saw Karl.

Another enemy bust through the door, and The marine stabbed the chainsaw through his face, then thrust upwards. He switched the chainsaw off, and removed his facemak, then turned to Karl.


"Greetings, comrade..." Steve said.

Karl smiled, "Steve..." He nodded.

"The others are dead..." He sighed. "That chopper touched down, we need to get to it..."

"Bad idea...." Karl said... "There are more like myself... Except not like me."

"no, you're not listening. There's a helicopter out there waiting to bust us outta here!"Just...cover your face..." Steve explained, slowly.

"No I mean it... More of me... Except stronger, faster and more blood-thirsty... Litterally." He put a hand on Steve's arm.

"What...here?" He asked, bending down and checking Ghost's pulse. "Oh shit, he's alive!"

"Yes here... And getting closer..."

Tricia woke up. "Wha-?" She asked. Everyone was gone. She looked next to her, seeing Shadow. "What the fuck? Why is everyone dying?!?!" She yelled, leaping up. Slowly, she breathed in. That sense...it would be Karl. She tried following it's source, in a blind attempt to find her comrades.

Steve began trying to help Ghost. "Come on soldier, you'll be fine..." He reassured him, bandaging his wounds and sitting him on a chair. He handed him his revolver. "Anyone come through those doors, you give em a cylinder full" He said, patting ghost on the back and turning back to Karl. "Listen, is it some kind of army of...you's...out there? Should i call backup? I've got a radio..."

*I'm using Karl not Saluka...*

Karl nodded, "I know it sounds stupid but... I think we're vampires..." He looked out of the window... "Someone is in charge here... He or she was controling the townspeople... They weren't acting normally."

"Vampires?" Steve asked, then switched on the radio. "Alpha 2-4, Alpha 2-4, this is Salvo 18, Come in, Over..."

The Helicopter pilot turned on the radio. "Go ahead, Salvo 18" He said, sighing.

"request reinforcements, coordinates 15:21, over."
"Roger that..."

The pilot's helicopter slowly began rising, and he switched communications. "Kilo 1-1, Unload your chalk at Map grid 15:21, ASAP."

A different pilot looked over the city. "Roger that..." He sighed, turning the helicopter right. He stopped, and the soldiers in the back of the blackhawk slid down 2 ropes, and burst in to the house. "Flash!" The sergeant shouted. Steve spun round. "thunder!" He shouted, and the squad proceeded upstairs. The sergeant looked over at Karl, and nodded, uncomfortably, lighting a cigarette. "So what're we dealing with?" He asked, as his squad began making themselves at home. Two sat down and started playing cards.

Karl smiled, "Put it this way... A lot of me..." He turned his back to the sergant, "Shoot me in the back."
