“Yeah! Got that one good!” Fritz yelled in joy.

“Eww,” Dimitria said. “You like seeing brains fly everywhere?”

“Well, at least they’re dead brains. Get it? DEAD BRAINS? Hahaha– I crack myself up!” Arness said.

Nobody laughed at the joke, seeing as though they’re asleep, or wasn’t paying attention.

“Corbin, how far are we from that gas station?” Opeu asked, sitting near Corbin.

“Just a few more counties til we make it there.” Corbin mumbled in his deep southern accent. Nodding his head as he went back to his spot on the bus, Opeu quickly fell asleep. Hours into his sleep, he woke up to a sudden thrust on the bus, twitching his tail.

“Oh–Oh shit!” Corbin yelled, steering the bus as firmly as possible. Opeu got up, and walked towards Corbin.

“What the fuck is with you?” Opeu said, before noticing a huge, four legged creature beside the bus, ramming it off of the road. Opeu drew his Desert Eagle as everybody got up, curious and astonished chattering “What’s going on?”. He pointed it at the creature, but couldn’t keep his aim steady due to the movement of the bus. Some people began pointing excitedly and yelling.

“Dammit this fucker is hitting us hard…” Opeu said.

“We’re not gonna get past this thing Opeu! I can’t keep this thing steady, we’re about to roll into the canyon! EVERYBODY, BRACE FOR IMPACT!” Corbin said, as the creature gave a final push to the bus, knocking it over into the rocks leading to the canyon. Everybody grabbed onto something as the bus flipped and flailed dangerously towards ground zero. People on the bus screamed and shouted as the bus kept going, and came to a screeching stop at the bottom.

“Ugh… Is everybody okay?” Gregio asked, staggering while checking everyone for movement. Some mumbled “Yes”, as other just groaned in agonizing pain and fear.

“Marc, we hit the bottom of the canyon. But the creature isn’t in sight.” Opeu said, popping open the hatch confidently and climbing out. Gregio followed Opeu, his energy spear drawn and ready. Opeu pointed his gun up at the part of the canyon he came down from, checking for anything unusual, then proceeded to scan the area around him and Gregio.

“Nothing’s in sight. We’re gonna have to walk on foot. Come on guys, it’s alright.” Opeu said, helping people out of the bus.

“Why are we doing this again?” Shane asked.

“We need to get to that Gas Station. There’s another bus there, refueled and ready to go. C’mon let’s move!” Opeu said thrusting his neck back, and walked off. Everybody else followed Opeu.

“I don’t like him one bit,” Shane whispered to Fritz. Fritz gave off a small chuckle as he shook his head.

“He just thinks he’s the shit or something. I think he’s up to something.”

“What do you think it is he’s trying to do?” Fritz replied. Shane shrugged.

“Probably sends us to a gang of those big things like the one we ran into earlier.” Shane scratched his head, looking back at the bus.

Opeu, who was leading the group, heard a familiar clicking sound, and halted.

“Hm! Shit…” Opeu whispered.

“What’s wrong?” Gregio asked, approaching Opeu.

“NO NO STAY BACK! It’s a pressure-sensitive mine!” Opeu said, as he began to sweat. “Get as far back as you can!”

Gregio answered to the request, pushing everybody back 5 feet from Opeu.

“Opeu! What are you gonna do!? Just sit there?! That thing’s gonna blow if you keep pressure on it!” Gregio shouted. Opeu looked back, smiling as if he had a plan.

“Marc, grab me that huge rock you see over there.” Opeu said, pointing at a nearby rock behind the group. Gregio brought the rock over, and waited for Opeu.

“He’s not going to make it…” Dimitria said.

“Nope, it’s not looking good at all. Marc’s never gonna get that rock placed on time, besides, it’ll catch Opeu’s foot.” Said Tammy, who was standing next to Dimitria at the time.

“Alright, we replace my foot with the rock, when I count to three. Jump out of the way once you drop it on the mine. Okay… Here we go.” Opeu said.

“1…”

“2…” Gregio said.

“3!” Opeu drew his foot back from the mine as Gregio placed the rock down on the switch, they both jumped out of the way as the mine exploded.

Everybody stood by, worried as they watched Opeu and Gregio get up untouched. They brushed theirselves off, as Gregio ruffled Opeu’s hair.

“Jeez what the fuck were you thinking? Could’ve gotten blown to pieces from that mine!” Nathan shouted.

“Relax bro. Everything’s cool now. Let’s keep going. We probably won’t run into another one of them for another long time from here. C’mon!” Opeu said. They walked, until Opeu discovered that it was getting slightly dark.

“Everyone, draw your weapons.” Opeu said, snatching out his semi-automatic Desert Eagle. They continued to walk, until they came up to what appeared to be a dusty courtyard. It was empty. The group began to approach the center statue, until a loud shiek filled the air. Out of nowhere, two zombie-vampires charged after Chad, knocking him down.

“CHAD!!! NO! CHAD!” Francine screamed, she looked so terrified that it didn’t give her time to cry. She ran after him, as Corbin grabbed her.

Chad let out a battlecry as he tried to struggle them off. The two zombie-vampires then began to rend Chad’s flesh, then killed him by biting and puncturing his vitals. Opeu aimed, and fired shots at the zombie-vampires. Gregio stood close to Light and Minh. Some people hid behind Gregio, Jay,  Fritz, Corbin, and Vinnie fired at the zombie-vampires. They fled hastily.

“Fuck!” Opeu said, snapping his clip back into place. “Bastards got away, and now we’ve lost somebody already.”

Francine took out her AK-47, and attempted to run after the zombie-vampire. Corbin grabbed her again, this time, not letting go.

“No let me go! I’m gonna kill that motherfucker!” She screamed, fighting Corbin off.

“You think it’s that easy to just kill them off like that?! It’s NOT. THAT. EASY! These are almost like superhumans, the only way possibly killing them is going for the brain!” Corbin exclaimed. Opeu’s hasty actions while taking out his extra gear for his gun showed that he was inducing some andrenaline rush.

“Those son of a bitches…!” Opeu mumbled, as he ran into the darkness, turning on the flashlight mounted on his Desert Eagle.

“OPEU! WHAT THE– WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET BACK HERE!” Gregio shouted. Suddenly, the floor below the group began to crack.

“Holy Sh–”

The ground below them caved in, as everyone fell into a dark, area. Everybody screamed as if they were being brutally killed as they fell into the area.

“Dammit… Way to go Opeu…” Gregio mumbled, standing on his feet. Everybody else began to get up as Gregio flashed a small flame to give the area some lumination. Turns out they were inside of a cave; the only way appeared to be up.
