The Downfall Isaac was patrolling the corridor of the USS Stockholm, when he heard someone scream. He ran over to where the scream came from and saw his best friend, Tony, torn to shreds. Isaac looked around the room and noticed someone in the corner. "Hey! What happened here?" Isaac yelled. He got no response. He walked over slowly, while clutching his pistol, he tried getting her attention by tapping her on the shoulder. The woman slowly stood up and turned to face Isaac and Isaac noticed her face was torn apart. He stepped back and raised his pistol, a Colt 1911, the woman charged at him and tried attacking him, Isaac shot her in the head a couple of times. She collapsed slowly and Isaac called security, "Hey, is anyone there?" He got no response. "Oh, bollocks." He thought about what the first order of business was to be. He decided to look for survivors and then try and escape. He figured the captain would be alive so he made his way to the bridge. He checked the map that was nearby he was rather far away from the bridge. "Fuck, I hope I won't encounter those creatures. I don't think I can call them people anymore…" He loaded his gun and walked towards the bridge. He checked his PDA for the map and realised there were a few places people would be, that's not exactly on his way to the bridge. He didn't want innocent people to die, just like Tony, so he decided he was going to try and save anyone. He went to the medical bay and looked around. He called out"Hey! Is anyone there?" He listened and heard someone call out "Who is that? It doesn't matter! Just come get me! My leg is broken and those… things are closing in." Isaac ran to where the voice was coming from. He readied his gun and peered around the corner and noticed one of the zombies just standing there. Isaac closely examined it. Its face was torn to shreds and the zombie had been disembowelled because its intestines were hanging out of it. The zombies back was turned so Isaac sneaked up behind it and shot it a few times in the back of the head. It fell to the ground. Isaac walked up to it and it jumped up and grabbed him. Isaac snapped its neck and when it let go of him, he crushed its skull by stomping on it. He then reloaded and checked to see if he had enough clips to last. He then walked to find that guy, he heard earlier. He called out "Hey! Are you still there?" He waited for a response. "Yeah, I'm holed up in the operating theatre. I have a lot of ammo… if you need any." The man responded. He was right. Isaac needed the ammo. He slowly walked there with his gun at the ready. Isaac checked the map on his PDA and noticed there was an armoury nearby. "That'll be useful. I just hope there's a gun with a bit more firepower than this Colt 1911." He noticed a zombie in front of the operating theatre, but it was different. It looked bigger, stronger and tougher. Isaac couldn't take it down easily. He looked around and decided to try his luck. He aimed at its head and shot rapidly. It noticed him and charged at Isaac. He dodged and unloaded another clip into its face. The behemoth fell and Isaac walked up and crushed his skull. He then walked into the operating theatre and saw the man sitting there grinning. "What the hell was that? Do you need any ammo? I've got it here," and pointed to a box he was leaning on for support. "I also have some medikits, if you need them. I also noticed an escape route nearby. I understand if you want to see the captain. He'll be glad to know more than one guy from the security team survived." Isaac then wondered who else there was. "Who else survived?" Isaac then bent down to get some ammo. "There was a guy. I forgot his name. He had a shotgun." Isaac knew who that was. It was one of his best friends, Eddie, he's the only guy he knows who carries such a gun. "Did the shotgun look different, by any chance?" The man thought about it for a second. "Yeah, it had a weird pattern on it." That was all Isaac needed to know. "That's him. Do you know where he went?" Isaac reloaded the Colt and Took some spare clips. "He said he was going to the bridge. Oh yeah, I didn't get your name. My name is Frank." Isaac looked at Frank and recognised him. Frank was the guy who quit being a guard to become a doctor, a damn good one at that. "The name is Isaac. I'm a guard here. Do you need any help?" Isaac asked. He had to find Eddie. "Yeah, I'll need a way to get to the bridge." Isaac had no idea how to do that so he pondered. "Would a wheelchair work?" Frank's face lit up at the idea. "Yeah, that could work. I can defend myself. There's a way to the bridge nearby. I understand if you need to get more firepower. Just get me to the elevator and I'll be fine. You should take as many clips of ammo as you can. You don't know what's out there." Isaac took more clips and reloaded his gun. He went to find a wheelchair and he found another pistol. He picked it up and reloaded it. He got the wheelchair and took it to Frank. He lifted Frank onto it and gave him the pistol he found and the box of ammo. "I found this nearby. You'll need it more than I will. I'm going to the armoury anyway." Isaac then walked out to make sure it was clear. He heard a blood chilling wail. He darted his head around looking for the thing that could have made such a ghastly wail. He saw a zombie sprinting towards him. Isaac shot it in the face. It slowed and fell. Isaac walked up to it to make sure it was dead. It then wailed loudly causing Isaac to fall back. It came up to him and its head started to twitch. Isaac kicked it away and got up. He ran over to it and unloaded a clip into it. He then crushed its head. He told Frank it was safe. Frank wheeled himself to the elevator. "Be careful Isaac." Frank then pressed the button for the bridge. "I will." Isaac then journeyed to the armoury. The door was locked. "Oh, fuck." He noticed the security room nearby. "Maybe the key is in there…" Isaac then opened the door to the security room and heard a gunshot. "Who's there?" He readied his pistol and slowly advanced forward. He then saw the head security officer, Johnny, slumped against a wall, his brains splattered on the wall. Isaac looked at Johnny and saw the armoury key. Isaac picked it up and looked at Johnny. He took Johnny's revolver and took the spare ammo. Isaac went to the armoury and unlocked the door. He saw racks of guns. He picked up more ammo for the revolver and took a shotgun from the rack. He reloaded it and took more ammo. He then left and called up Frank. "How many people have survived?" Isaac waited for a response. He noticed the connection was bad so he didn't know whether or not the call would last. "It's just Eddie, the Captain, you and I. You should get to the bridge. The Captain is going to figure a way out of here. To somewhere safe." Isaac looked at a nearby map, there was a hanger not too far from the bridge. "Frank, I'll be there shortly. Tell the Captain." Isaac then got to an elevator and went to the bridge. When he got out he noticed Eddie leaning against a wall "Hey, Isaac. The Captains over there," He pointed him out to Isaac. "Do you have any idea of how to get out of here?" Eddie then loaded his shotgun and had a worried look on his face. "What's up?" Isaac asked. "I've got no ammo left. You got any?" Isaac got out a spare box of ammo. He looked at the Captain, he looked rather fatigued and worried. Isaac walked over to him. "Sir, I think I know of a way out of here." The captain slowly turned and chuckled for a second. "How so? There's no way out that won't result in our death." Isaac thought about it. "What about the hanger?" There's a way out in there. I'm sure of it." The Captain's eyes widened in realisation. "Good god… You're right!" He then called Eddie over and told Frank of the plan. They then had to find a way to get there quickly. They decided that the elevator was the best way to go, but the elevator didn't go directly to the hanger. They had to go to the closest place. The dorms. Due to the high number of people on the Stockholm, the dorms would be incredibly dangerous. Isaac and Eddie said they would patrol the area. They scouted ahead and found a clear path but they'd have to be careful because even the slightest noise could provoke the zombies. Te walked back to collect the Captain and Frank. "It's clear, but be careful. They could come down like a ton of bricks if we piss them off." Eddie said while Isaac helped Frank out. They decided that the Captain would take Frank since Isaac and Eddie needed to guard them. Isaac glimpsed at Frank and noticed he had his eyes closed, the Captain presumably hadn't noticed. They ran quickly. They barely made it to the hanger alive. They saw various ships that could be used to escape. Isaac glanced at Frank and noticed he was looking really worried. "Frank, what's up?" Frank then just glared at Isaac. "Do you have any idea how these zombie creature got on board the Stockholm?" Isaac was worried. "No. Why do you ask?" Isaac wasn't really sure if he wanted to know. "Because. It's an interesting story." The Captain backed away slowly from the wheelchair Frank was in. "Where are you going with this, Frank?" Frank then took a syringe out of his pocket. "Isaac… I was one of the people responsible for the outbreak. We experimented on dead people. To see what we could do with them. We created those things. I suppose you could call us monsters for using the corpses." Frank then injected himself with the liquid from the syringe and chuckled. "You know, I'm not even sorry it came to this. Goodbye Isaac. It's been a pleasure." He then started to mutate. 2 large scythe-like appendages burst from his shoulders. Isaac readied his shotgun. "C'mon, you son of a bitch!" Isaac taunted. The creature once known as Frank charged Isaac. Isaac dodged him. Frank then managed to stab Eddie in the stomach. Eddie collapsed while clutching his stomach. Isaac walked up to Frank while he was dazed and unloaded his shotgun into his head. Frank then smacked Isaac into a nearby ship. Isaac then got up and limped towards his weapon. He picked it up and tried getting Frank's attention. "Hey! Come get me! You son of a bitch!" Frank charged Isaac. Isaac dodged again and walked up to him. He unloaded his shotgun several tomes and crushed his head. He ran to Eddie. "Eddie! You alright?" Eddie chuckled and said, "C'mon. You know me better than that I'll survive. No problem." Isaac called the Captain over to get on the ship. "What do we do if those things come to Earth?" The Captain put a code on his PDA and set a timer for 1 hour. "I doubt that Isaac. I've just set a bomb that'll destroy the ship. I don't think we'll have to deal with them again." They left the Stockholm for the final time. They went their separate ways after that, still meeting up on the anniversary of the downfall of the Stockholm, to mourn those that died.
