Peering into the blinding light, Samantha had finally found the crew. They were all standing stiffly outside of the small weapon room. A dark fog filled the air, and there were two wrecked small houses standing across from each other. The whole area was destroyed. Multiple lines in the ground gathered together and formed a big opening pit of fire. Flames went up as Nikolai noticed a slow-walking zombie stumble into the pit, only to have the flames cling to it as it continued to groan at them.

"Where the hell are we?" Dempsey asked, very puzzled.

"Uh, we got bigger problems," Nikolai replied. "Zombie!"

Everyone got out their weapon and started firing at the incoming zombies. Sam quickly looked around the weapon room and found a Galil. "Oh, goodie!" she laughed.

Sarah stabbed a zombie directly in it's heart, causing it to fall to it's knees and lose the blue light in it's eyes. "How's THAT for a closeup, deadhead?"

The battle went on until only a crawler remained.

Suddenly, a purple light shone in the sky, going straight to the ground. It came from behind the bright yellow house.

"Let's go!" Danny yelled. He started to walk towards the house. The rest slowly followed. When they made it to the front, Danny twisted the doorknob and opened up to the house. The door creaked loudly. Straight ahead was the kitchen, dirt and rocks surrounding it. A green ooze was forming on the walls. What seemed like a living room had fallen bookshelves and a broken television.

"I'm seriously freaked out right now." Sarah whispered, looking around.

Dempsey backed up out of the house to see a large sign. He could hardly read it, but it seemed to say, "Welcome to Nuketown". Under it, "Population: 100".

"Well, I think I found out where we are!" he said to the whole group.

They walked to Dempsey and read the sign. "Nuketown?" Michael asked.

"This place was for nuke testing. That explains the weird ass mannequins." Dempsey replied.

"Wonder why we were brought here." Robert mumbled.

Samantha definitely did NOT want to be here. She noticed her gun was almost empty, so she had no choice but to go into the house and out a back door to get to the box. She started to walk through the front door, not deciding to eye the staring heads of mannequins. When she reached the kitchen, she felt a burn on her arm. "Ouch!"

"Watch out," Takeo spoke. "Dripping from the ceiling."

She realized that they were right behind her. Sighing, she looked up to notice the green stuff had been leaking through. "Okay."

She opened the back door to find a giant rock in the backyard. Probably something from ze missle, she thought.

Sam looked around to find the box, and finally did when she reached an odd shaped small place with a big door in front of it, standing next to it. A mannequin stood right in front of the door. She shoved it out of the way and attempted to open it. With all her might in Richtofen's body, she simply couldn't open it up. She became angry and slammed on the door. What she didn't expect to hear was someone talking in the room, or so it seemed. She turned around to see if it was any of the other's voices. They seemed to be too distracted on the mystery box. She turned to see if Skylar was there, and was surprised to see she was not. Turning back to the door, she slammed on it again. Another voice. Sam couldn't tell what they were saying, but it sounded like a man's.

"Hello?" she asked. She started repeatedly banging on the door and got nothing.

"What the hell are you doing?" Mason asked suspiciously.

Sam turned and said nothing. "Can I use that now?"

They moved out of the way. She flipped open the box and it started playing the tune, showing different guns and items. It finally landed on a Ray Gun. She grinned widely and took the gun. Then, she decided to use it again. She got a FNFAL. One more time wouldn't hurt, Sam thought.

This time she got monkey bombs. "My little friends. Vat has evil Edward done to you?"

Taking them, she examined their new blue eyes instead of blood red. She stuffed them in a sack she found in the sewer and put it around her back.

"I'll go get the knee biter." Nikolai said unnecessarily loudly. The rest walked around to examine their new surroundings.

Sam was just about to walk back into the house when she heard Skylar's voice.

"Samantha."

Sam turned herself around, and saw Skylar leaning on the fence in front of the garden. Slowly she walked over to Sam.

"Where were you?" Samantha asked.

Skylar looked left and right sharply. Then, she stared at Sam, never leaving the gaze she had.

"You're not going to tell anyone about knowing me, are you?"

Samantha's look went from slightly calm to confused. "Why would I? Nobody else sees you. They would think i'm even crazier."

Skylar sighed, looking down and nodding. "I'm just afraid." She pushed a brown curl behind her ears. "You know, I don't know why those evil voices even chose me to try and kill you."

Sam wondered why Edward couldn't just use the zombies to get to her. "I don't know, either."

A fast-moving crawler zombie came up behind Samantha's legs, and attempted to bite into her.

"Ouch! I thought Nikolai killed you." she shot the biter multiple times until it groaned and fell to the ground completely. What she didn't expect was a zombie to come behind her and grab her shoulders. It bit into her neck viciously.

"AGH!" she yelled. She zoomed around and stabbed it's neck. Another bite came from behind.

"Vat-" she stopped herself when she saw that the whole lawn was filled with flesh eaters. Gasping, she searched for her gun. Where the hell is it?!

It was too late. A zombie came jumping onto her and bit her neck. She screamed madly. Her vision was going blurry, and all Sam felt was pain piercing through. She toppled to the ground and could only hear the sounds of zombies.

"Bye bye!" came Edward's voice, echoing into her ears.

She went black.

"I need cover!" Mason shouted, alerting Dempsey.

"I gotcha, man!" Dempsey replied and continued rippling through the hordes.

After shooting a sprinting zombie, a powerup appeared.

"Sweet!" Danny yelled, and ran to get it.

KA-BOOM! All the nearby zombies exploded to nothing.

"I need the box." Nikolai took a sip of vodka. "And i'm almost out of VODKA! Not fucking good."

Dempsey, Nikolai, and Mason walked through the house and to the backyard.

"Let me get first shot!" the drunk russian slowly walked to the mystery box.

Dempsey noticed that there was a figure slouched on the ground, leaning up against the fence to the garden. "Is that Sam?"

"Who? Where?" Nikolai asked, turning around.

Ignoring him, Dempsey made his way to a very still, but breathing Sam-in-Richtofen's-body.

"No time for sleep, little girl." he grabbed her shoulders and shook her. "Sam…..SAM!"

Soon enough Samantha woke up, but gasping for air.

"Zombie….all around me!" she gasped repeatedly.

"What?" Dempsey asked.

It seemed like she finally realized there were none around her when she looked left and right for any. "Vat….happened?!" she stopped gasping and slowed her breath.

"We just found ya sleeping here." Mason said.

"No," her horrified expression never left her face. "No! There were thousands of them around me! I died!"

"Thousands?" Dempsey got puzzled. "We killed them, and I don't think there were thousands around you. Obviously, you did not die. You must've been sleeping, I don't know, bad dream?" he got up and lifted his weapon. "Eyes open, kid." And with that, he walked away, with Mason following close behind.

"Wait up, guys!" Nikolai announced. "I found MORE Vodka! Joy!"

How am I alive?! Samantha wondered. She stood up and looked around for Skylar.

"Samantha!" She heard Skylar's voice next to her. Turning, she couldn't find what to say about her….whatever it had been.

"Sam," Skylar started. "It was Richtofen. He somehow got into your thoughts, made you see what you saw. You are alive, not dead. It was some sort of vision!"

Sam started in disbelief. "How do you know?!"

Skylar rolled her eyes. "Let's face it. I know about what you did to Yuri back at the Russian facility and how you controlled his mind to make Gersch some kind of prisoner in the Gersch device. You should understand."

Now, she understood. "So, Edward's doing….vat I did, but he's not telling me things, he's showing me things…"

"Correct." Skylar replied.

"I know vat I had done may have seemed...wrong, but daddy told me to kill them all, so I did. But there's still HIM. The evil, horrible Edward. There's also Sophia... but daddy might have not wanted me to kill her. I would if I could." Then Sam realized Skylar wasn't there anymore. She looked around to find the crew, and started going into the odd house.
