Author's Notes: I am trying to tie the new movie Dawn of the Dead to the
old movie Day of the Dead into a remake that I hope everyone will enjoy. I
still have many stories that I want to finish and/or update so it might be
a while before another chapter is posted from this one unless I get some
good feed back. Thank you.
Summary: The foursome that survived the mall get to an island were they find a military silo that is busy trying to find a cure for the plague that has infested the world. How will the cabin fever struck military personal handle the newcomers?
Chapter 1
Ana hadn't been at all surprised to see the mass of moving bodies just beyond the trees. The idea of a safe haven island was just too good to be true and there was no point in getting her hopes up. Terry and Nicole felt much differently about the subject. They'd figured that the island would be abandoned and the couple would get to have the well- deserved privacy that they had wanted since they'd gotten together.
Kenneth pumped his shotgun again, sending the third empty shell to the ground, and then he fired into the chest of another flesh eater. There were over thirty of them running at the group and they didn't have enough ammo to fight them off. On the flipside they didn't have enough gas to make it to another island.
"Come on you assholes!", a male's voice yelled out from the other side of the crowd of monsters. "Come and get it!"
Multiple rounds fired from an automatic rifle and seven of the reanimated people fell down shaking. Kenneth was the first one to see the three men in camouflage firing at the things. It was also Kenneth that realized that it was a good chance they'd get fired on too.
"Hey!" Kenneth yelled out so that they would be recognized as human. He loaded another few shells into the shotgun and fired them into the air.
"Clear em' a path boys!" A different voice said above the moans of the undead. Suddenly there was an explosion of gunfire that left a hole in the crowd. Without hesitation, Kenneth rushed for the hole and Ana took Nicole by the hand. The foursome rushed over to the rest of the people and found that there was a small shack that was made out of reinforced metal.
"Go through the doors", one of the men said he fired a few more shells into the head of another monster. "Head for the elevator and wait."
They followed his orders and pulled open the door. The room itself was very boring and even more humid. Drops of sweat started beading down their backs almost instantly and the buzz of flies just added to the effect. There was a shelf on the far wall that held some empty jars and a small panel of steel in the center of the floor. Next to the steel square there was a small remote.
Just as they'd all taken in their surroundings the three military men walked into the building with grins on their faces. They seemed too cocky to have just walked inside from a world full of zombies. One of them walked over to the remote and stepped on the metal square.
"All aboard", he said with a cocky grin. He was dark headed with a rough beard and dark eyes. The other two both had blonde hair and blue eyes.
All seven of the people stepped on to the platform and the dark headed man hit a button that sent the elevator down. The light disappeared completely for a few seconds and then it slowly returned to a dim glow as the entered a cavern of some sort.
"What is this place?" Ana asked.
"This place is our last hope", the dark headed man snapped at her. The look in his eyes showed more anger than they should have. There was a fire deep in them that gave him a scary glow. Ana decided that she'd let it go for the time being but she wanted to know, in detail, what was going on there.
"This is a military research facility, the last one of seven that were placed all over America when the epidemic started. We are the last hope", one of the blonde men said to Ana. She liked him already. In a strange way he reminded her of Michael.
Terry wrapped his arms about the shivering Nicole and she buried her face in his shoulder. It was cold but that wasn't the reason that her body was convulsing. They'd both gotten their hopes up and there they were, stuck inside once again.
Kenneth stood tall next to the dark headed man and looked down at him, almost a challenge and they all saw it. The dark headed man started Kenneth in the eyes until the elevator came to a stop. "Welcome to the compound. I'm in charge here and anyone that has a problem with that", he paused just long enough to give a quick glance up and down Kenneth's body, "can go back outside and become lunch for one of those things. Any questions?"
