Forum:Survival

Plot
After a catastrophic accident at a research station in China, a lethal chemical has been swept across the globe. This chemical, amazingly, has the power to turn humans into werewolves. However, these werewolves don't transform during the full moon - they transform and stay that way. One notable aspect of the werewolves is their anthropomorphic properties - they can stand on their hind legs, and also speak in human language. There is no known antidote for the chemical, and within weeks, entire nations have collapsed. Now, the chemical has reached the United States. In the wake of a disaster the likes of which the world has never seen, what humans are left are trapped in a frantic struggle for survival.

Place: Alondra Park, Los Angeles, CA

Time: 1628 hours

Keith Anderson looked out from the shelter at the rubble that was once his home neighbourhood of Alondra Park. Once a bustling residential area of LA, it was now a ruined warzone. Piles of rubble and abandoned cars littered the area outside Anderson's shelter - the all-but-destroyed mess that used to be the local Jack in the Box restaurant.

Suddenly, Anderson heard something - a banging noise. Was it a werewolf, or - impossibly - another survivor? It seemed to have come from Glendale Road. Against his better judgement, Anderson decided to check it out. Holding his trusty .44 revolver, he sneaked out of the shelter, and moved, quickly but silently, towards the noise.

Place: Alondra Park, Los Angeles, CA

Time: 1630 hours

The wind shifted over Seth's snout. He inhaled sharply, trying to find his bearings. He wasn't used to his new body. To his surprise, the air brought along a familiar scent: Human. He turned his head in the direction of the wind, and blinked. He couldn't see anything. ''Oh well, I guess I have to go up close. I certainly hope someone doesn't try to shoot me this time.''

Reese Byrne observed the area he was hiding in cautiously, and stopped and zoomed in on a human-like figure. It was centered on...Glendale Road. He saw a shaggy werewolf's head, and saw the human with what was some sort of revolver.

Warily, he began jogging toward the werewolf.

Keith froze. He recognized the creature he saw immediately - a werewolf! He cocked the .44 and brought it up.

"Take one step closer", he yelled, "and I'll shoot you through the goddamn head!"

The werewolf jumped out of hiding, paws raised. "Don't shoot! I'm on your side! I can explain!"

Keith lowered the pistol slightly. "Why should I believe you?"

"I can explain", the werewolf replied.

Keith thought for a second, then nodded. "Alright. You have three minutes to convince me that I shouldn't blow your brains out, starting now."

"Thank you. Now, first of all, if I wasn't on your side, you'd most likely have a pretty deep gash in your chest. But anyway, allow me to explain."

"When the chemical first hit the States, it affected me, as you can see,. However, not as you would think. I kept my sanity, unlike the others who were affected. They are the monsters you are running from. I am not like them. I actually can think complex thoughts. I am in most ways the same as you, save my outside appearence. I promise you, if you keep me alive, I will be able to help you in your battle against them."

Keith stared. He quite simply could not believe it. If what this guy said was true, he'd be the only person on earth to have recovered from the chemical. The guy was still looking at him. Should he believe him?

Eventually, Keith said, "Welll, you've made some pretty valid points ... so I'm gonna call your bluff. You can come with me."

The werewolf visibly relaxed. "Thanks!"

"Don't mention it. It's Keith Anderson, by the way."

"Seth Auditore. You got anywhere to go?"

"Yeah, I've got a shelter about two blocks away. Come with me. We've still got a lot to talk about."

Half an hour later...

"...so you've no werewolf-like characteristics at all?"

"Apart from my physical appearance, no. D'you think you can trust me?"

There was a banging on the entrance to the shelter. The two new pals looked up.

"Stay here", Keith warned Seth. He checked his revolver, went to the entrance, and, gun poised, said, "Who is it?"

Sasha looked at the freshly killed body of his former employer Marcus Defraine he had done that man's dirty work for three years and had finally inserted a bullet in his head "Good riddance." he said to the body in Russian and then he picked up a paper from his corpse he started reading. "Shelter two blocks away from Glendale road." perfect he thought as he picked the keys to Defraine's Pontiac up and walked out of the house and to the car he got in and started it. He drove off unaware of what was waiting for him there.

Byrne's HK416 was up and pointing at the entrance. Slowly, he said, "I'm a human. Open the door." His slightly-werewolf characteristics let his senses flow more fluidly, be more acute, but there were downsides to the better senses, too.

One thing that all people with the chemical had was a "sixth sense." The sixth sense, was, in essence, a sense that was mixed with every other sense.

It was hard to explain to people that weren't werewolves. Byrne's sixth sense pumped up, and he smelled every single object in the shelter. A teddy bear. Two men -- no, one man and one werewolf. A shattered plasma LED TV.

Everything registered in Byrne's mind, and he stiffened. "Open the door."

"Listen to me. I want tabs on those men. Seth Auditore and Reese Byrne. They might have some sort of immunity to the virus."

"Lynch, you do realize that they are D.O.D right?"

"Listen, I don't care if they're G.O.D. I want everything tapped. Cell phones, shelters, Even guns they might have bought."

"Very well. You better pay me for that. I'm not giving up Locke's team for nothing."

"Oh I'll pay you alright"

Seth took a sharp breath. A human was at the door. But something was different about this one. His scent wasn't just human in nature. Seth could detect a hint of werewolf in his odor. ''Oi suzy! I certainly hope we don't have a loony on our hands. I'd better ready myself for a fight'', he thought to himself, as he streched his arms.

Sasha stopped the car about thirty yards away from the shelter. He stepped out and looked around. He saw the shelter, a man walked in to it. He started to approach it, then he heard a low roar from behind him. What was he thinking, driving a car through town? Its lights and noise would be a beacon for the beasts! He saw one moving towards him slowly, then two, then three. He fired a fully automatic seven round burst into one's face. It fell with a bloodcurdling shriek. He fired a round into another one's leg and started running for the shelter.

Byrne heard gunfire, and the sound of werewolf howling. All his training and planning went out of his head. He'd seen what happened to the people in New York, and wasn't going to let that happen to him. He panicked, threw his rifle into a ditch, and hammered on the entrance.

*** "Help! Let me in, someone, anyone!" The voice sounded hysterical.

Keith opened the door. A man stood outside, sweating and breathing heavily.

"Who the hell are you?!" Keith demanded.

"Look, there'll be time for formalities later, just let me in, will ya?"

"Help! They're coming!"

A second man had turned up, gabbling something in what sounded like Russian. A werewolf howl pierced the evening stillness.

When he was in the SEALs, Keith had been taught about making split-second decisions. He made one now, pulled the two men into the shelter, and slammed the door.

The three men faced each other.

"Right... well... I think we should introduce ourselves. I'm Keith Anderson."

"R-Reese Byrne", the first guy stammered. Keith thought there wasn't something quite right about him. His eyes had a yellowish tinge to them, and his teeth seemed a bit more pointed than they should have been.

"Sasha", the other guy grunted. Definitely Russian, Keith decided. He was good at spotting accents, and guessed the guy was from somewhere near Chechnya.

"Thanks for saving us", Reese said. "At least we're away from any other werewolves."

"Uh, yeah... about that..." Keith said awkwardly. There's someone I'd like you to meet. His name's Seth. I'll explain everything about him once you meet him."

Woozie walked around what is left of San Francisco. Nobody was on the streets, nobody. There was debris on one side, and more debris on the other. He could smell and taste the metal of the houses, or what's left of it. He thought that maybe there are some survivors in LA. He went to a friends garage. He and this friend made many criminal things in this garage. He also knows there is an armory in the basement. He stocked up, taking a M4 as his main weapon, and MP5 on the back, and a pistol on his foot holster. He thought how he could get to LA. He is blind, afterall. The Airport, Train or Marina most probably don't work. Suddenly, he heard a movement in the debris. He asked, "Who is there?!" There was more movement, and a growl. He pointed his M4 in the direction he thought the sound came from. Suddenly, something jumped on his back. He turned around, and what he smelled and touched was unbelievable to him.

He couldn't believe what it was. He slowly spoke, "....C-J?" CJ, surprised, said "...Woozie? Heeey, what's up, man! Sorry for my welcome. A bit harsh, I know...Also you got those guns from me," he pointed at Woozie's guns, "My armory? I told you I buyed something nice from the money on that bank raid, hehe." he said. Woozie suggested, "We should get to the Airport. I still know how to fly I think. If you don't have anything against stealing a plane, I can be the pilot..."

Meanwhile, back in LA...

"...so we came back here, and that was about when you guys turned up", Keith finished.

When Reese and Sasha saw Seth for the first time, they'd gotten the fright of their lives. However, after some explaining, they gradually came to accept facts.

"So, what now?" Reese asked.

"We're not sure", Keith admitted.

"Is there anyone you know who could help?" Seth chimed in.

"Well..." This was Sasha. "There is a man I have had arms dealings with in the past. He goes by the name of Woozie. He is the Dai Dai Lo of the San Francisco triad. But I have not heard from him in months. I can try to contact him, but I am not hopeful."

"I see", Keith said. "Well, until we work out a plan, I guess all we can do is sit tight."

"Looks like it", Reese nodded. He turned to Seth. "So, if you don't mind me asking, what's it like? Being a werewolf, I mean..."

Meanwhile, In a Chopper over LA

"Reegar, when we're over the shelter, I want you on point. Take the werewolves alive. Lynch isn't paying us if they're dead"

"Roger"

"Lysander, You're carrying the flash bangs. Throw 2 or 3 in there so they're blind."

"What about me Locke?"

"Stay back in the Chopper in case this is harder then first thought. Check weapons and ammo, safeties off, We're going in hot!"

"It's definately different. Other than being a massive hulking beast who can rip peoples' throats out as if they were paper, I'm almost the same as you in thinking capabilities and such. However, my sense are... heightened. I can see farther and in greater detail than before, and can hear sounds at much lower and higher frequencies than you, and my sense of smell is extremely precise." Seth explained. "It took a little getting used to, but I like it."

Sactage 20:10, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

18
"So Reese, tell us a bit about yourself", Keith invited.

"Alright", Reese smiled. "Not much to tell, really. I was on reserve base here in LA..."

It was around that point that Seth's ultra-sensitive hearing picked up a noise outside - one he recognised.

"Keith", he said, but no-one heard him.

"...goddamn chemical hit, I had no choice but to..."

"Keith", Seth said, a little more forcefully.

"...escaped the worst effects, but as you can see..."

"Keith", Seth half-shouted, and the three other men finally turned to him.

"What is it?" Keith asked.

Seth turned to look at him, his lupine features looking anxious. "I think we've got company."

They listened carefully, and they could faintly make it out, too - the steady thumping of a helicopter.

"first day of the third month" alias "lightning" thought to himself. "That's how long I've been stuck here."

He walked over to the dead body of a militiant that had tried to ambush him around the corner. He "borrowed" the FAL magazines from the dead man's holster

Lysander checked his SCAR-H one last time, sliding a magazine home and putting it on his seat, patting his XD(M) and extracting a semtex from his pack, he took a small foam cup off his seat, it had the bottom cut out and a small cloth parachute attached. Pressing the shaped charge into the bottom of the cup, he carefully dropped it onto the roof of the shelter below their chopper, giving a thumbs up to Locke and Reegar.

Grabbing a flashbang in one hand and the detonator in the other, Three... two... one.... he hit the detonator and threw a flashband, then another two. Snapping his SCAR-H onto his pack, he gripped the rappelling line, attached himself and walked out of the PAVELOW...

For a few seconds he was falling, before he thudded to the floor of the shelter and stepped aside to let Reegar land beside him, unclipping and raising his SCAR-H, sweeping the room in front of him, a kitchen, Reegar was now behind him, sweeping the room with his own rifle as Locke hit down and did the same. The room was occupied by a werewolf and three men, he moved forward as Hobbes and Innocent hit the ground, aiming his rifle at the stunned quartet. He heard Locke shout, "Hands where I can see them, get on the ground!" as he clipped his rifle back to his pack and unholstered his sidearm and pulled out a pair of plastic cuffs.

''Lysander, Hobbes, Innocent, grab the three humans", Locke shouted as his tackled the werewolf, cuffing it and jabbing a needle with anesthetic into the creature's neck.

Lysander grabbed a large Slavic man, cuffing him and guiding him to the wall as his checked for weapons, finding several, he shoved them in his combat netting and slid out a small pill bottle. The pills were a dosage of benzocaine, he opened the bottle and handed pills to Hobbes and Innocent, they opened the pills and tilted their prisoners' heads back, emptying the anesthetic into their nostrils so the drug would slightly numb their entire bodies, making them easier to deal with. He bodily grabbed the large man he was holding and led him to the hole in the ceiling, a SPIE rig was lowered and they began rigging and attaching their prisoners.

Howling could be heard outside and Lysander heard a minigun spinning up, Benedict was going to have some fun. TimSim (talk)

Ken Blackman was in the main blast of the chemical. He was turned fully werewolf. He had been a Marine before the chemical hit. Not a very good one though. He couldn't bring himself to shoot a person. He now stood over 2 meters tall, and could move extremely fast. He also had a new found bloodlust. His mind could no longer determine wrong from right, so killing humans came easy for him.

It was nighttime. He was hungry. He was searching the city for food. With his improved vision, he saw a lone human crossing the street about 700 feet up. He moved silently toward his target. When he got closer, the smell of the human enticed him. He couldn't go silently anymore. He burst out of his cover of behind a car and let out a loud howl as he got close to the human. He pounced and hit his mark. With one swift movement, he had slit the human's throat. He dragged his kill away to eat somewhere private. Other werewolves were hungry too and willing to fight for it.

Lightning checked his solar-powered military-grade watch. It was the third hour of the heli "ride"
