The gunship began to lower as the fighting halted with the death of the two hendson brothers Ralph and Marcus. A ending neither side wanted and tried to avoid ,but Ralph had to be dealt with and he had. Jarvis did not want it to go out like this, but he knew it would. Jarvis looked over to Kiley and pulled her in to let her cry over his shoulder. It was the least he could do. The gunship was most unexpected though. He looked outside while he held her. He wondered who it was,... well judging from the big Wayland Yutani logo on the chopper it was the big deals. "I just want to let you know that I did not want it to end like this. None of us did... but we prepared for it mentally in our heads. I think deep down you knew it would happen as well." He sighed patting her. It was the only thing he could do right now. "Things are so much easier when its just those monsters that need killin'....."

Bakki let out a sigh and stood up staring at the men that came out. He hopped off the tank and began walking towards them. Joining him quickly were Miles and Erika. Hotaru still stayed within the vehicle with Jin at the guns. Erika stepped forward and looked to the two bodies of Ralph and Marcus. She then pointed to Ralph. "He did this,... not us. We just came to bring daughter back to her father. Understand this,... that if any of you cross me like he did. You will share the same fate." She paused letting the words sink in to the survivors that were outside and made sure she was loud enough for those who are still coming out to hear. "I will pretend that none of you were with him in this plan for now, however I am in charge now you understand?" She said. This was a ultimatum to the survivors. Those with families will likely step down to her ruling. However, those who lost everything like Ralph might not see it otherwise and those people will be dealt with right on the spot.

"I thought it was you...." came the voice from the helicopter as the doors to it side opened up and out came four heavily armed men and armored at that. One man carrying a rather complicated rifle which energy radiated from the barrel. Who came out next would be to Erika's surprise. The man was her father. She understood he was a doctor and had no idea he was a scientist for Wayland Yutani corporation. That would explain why her application was excepted above the others. Her father was the one who approved of it. She smiled as her father stepped ever closer to her. His men instantly began to surround the survivors. They simply just aimed their weapons at them and that was all. No kill shot order was given.... yet. He was pretty tall but thin as well. He had blond short hair and blue eyes. Once he was within reach he placed a hand on Erika's shoulder. "I thought you were gone after I heard about the collapse of the laboratory in New York. Figures if someone would survive that catastrophe it would be you." He said. Erika lowered her weapon and instantly embraced him in a hug. He accepted and then once they seperated he looked around. "You sure got yourself in a mess though... oh well."

"Hows mom?" Erika asked and her father sighed and removed his glasses from his face and began rubbing the lenses with a cloth. "She is dead hun... she mounted a assault on the infested city of new york hoping to claim it back and hopefully save you in the process but the Xenos over powered her and wiped out her assault team and her included. I was at the console when her life lines went silent." He said. He then looked to the survivors and back to her. "You know your project isn't finished yet. There was more installments we were going to make to your augmentations. The whole shit storm we are facing caused its delay. If you will be staying here for a prolonged time then I will call for the science team to come out here and we will finish what we started." He said.... "But before any dicision are made. I aint leaving here until I am sure you will be alright... and your friends too." He said.

Miles never meet Erika's father directly. He spoke with him on occasions and even over the phone he felt very intimidated. Her father carried himself like a very powerful man. He must be some very high ranking scientist to have his own chopper and team. He was starting to wonder who was the superior officer here. Erika or himself. He was just happy he was on her side. He looked to Marcus's body and sighed. "First things first we need to dig some graves... One for Marcus and one for her father. It would be the respectable thing to do." He said.

Kiley nodded in the back of her mind she knew it was coming. She just hope and prayed she could prolong and that her ucle would be spared. Yet like Jarvis said Kiley knew it would happen but like an idiot she didn't prepare herself like she ha with Elyanna ,and now she heart broken and can't help but feel alone. Kiley try to calm down but she began to not be able to breath and began hiccuping. She closed her eyes trying to get her self to stop and leaned against Jarvis. After a few minutes she was able to breath and she finally spoke," I know ya didn't Jarvis," Her voice was scratchy and hoarse," Thanks. Fer bein' 'ere though," Kiley said before trying to stand on her own two feet while her whole body was shaking,"We better head outside," She said coughing trying to get her voice back to normal.

Blitz was leaning against one of the trucks watching the scene she felt a tug on her shirt and looked over to see a Boy not even 15 in army uniform and battle ready. Only thing was he didn't have a weapon," What's going to happen to us now?" He asked making Blitz look at him in pure shock.

"What do ya mean hun?" She asked the boy.

"Ralph had any boy older than 14 out here as Soldiers in case of an attack from the monster. Promisin' that if we did our job right our families are goin' ta remain safe and alive," The boy swallows," Does that still go fer ya'll?"

Blitz shook her head amazed at what she was hearing and seeing as well," Well I can assure you that you'd probaly be discharged-"

"Not with them," The boy said.

"With who?"

"Ralph had a group of teens who worked for him. He called it his 'round table' they are a group of ' Elites' as he called them," The boy said.

"Do you know where they are?" Blitz asked looking around.

"No. They are rarely ever around enough for us to see and when they are well lets just say they're not much of a welcome party. They put how Ralph acted to shame," The boy said looking worried.

"Kid-"

"Arson," The boy ,Arson, said.

"Arson, how many of these teens are there?"

"15 maybe 20," Arson said shifting from foot to foot.

Blitz eyes went wide before she turned to the other," Erika! Bakki! We may have a problem,"

The survivors were all cooperating with Erika's new orders and with her right to command them. Their leader made an attempt on her life and the life of her own. She gave them the ultimatum and they accepted it. She would however protect them as anyone else could. With a tank and a military jeep guarding the entrance to their bunker it will not be hard to. Depending on how long her father planned to stay that also meant they have a helicopter as well. However all future plans were put to a halt as Blitz ran up with something really urgent. She looked to her and sighed. Great, the shit never ends around here... who thought it was a great idea to come down here again? Oh yeah she did. She cursed under her breath just before she spoke. "What now?...." She said. She then looked to the survivors that climbed out. " You can all head back inside now,... seeing as you know who your true friends are now I don't see any reason to not let you go back down there.... before you do though." She looked to Miles and gestured towards the jeep and then to the tank. "Miles will show you to what supplies we got,... it wont seem like much but it will help." She said and Miles did just that. Showing some of the people to the supplies and helping them bring it in. "As soon as all the supplies are within the bunker park the humvee right up in front to the right of the bunker entrance." She then looked back to Blitz.

"Okay what is the problem?" She asked. Her father gestured for his men to join them as well just before any information was divulged to them. Erika gave one side glance and then back to Blitz. Bakki standing right next to her.

Out from the tank came Jarvis as he heard the orders and the talking all seemed like it was going well for now. It seemed like after the leader was taken out those within the bunker submitted rather peacefully. I suppose a tank aiming its cannon at your door would do that rather nicely. He approached just as Blitz ran up with what would seem like horrible news.

"A boy informed me on Ralphs apparent 'Round Table'. Their apparently the 'Elite' Fighters that he had trained and from what I was told they were the welcome party," Blitz says looking around," I already asked where they would be ta the boy who told me this and he doesn't know where they are hiding out at," She said look a little pissed looking around," Looks like Ralph expected to die," Blitz said putting a hand on her hip.

Kiley stayed back from the group shifting from foot to foot before noticing the boy looking around worried. She walks over looking around before seeing a glint from the forest before it disappeared. At this point Kiley could care less if she was a target but not other people. She stands next to Arson and smile's recognizing him as her fathers farm hand's little brother.

"Kiley I'm so sorry-" Arson began not looking at the older teen his brown eyes still scanning the trees.

"Don' Arson. It's fine, we all saw it comin'," Kiley said crossing her arms and putting her legs shoulder length apart making sure if she has to she can pull Arson out of the way," Where are they Arson," Kiley said making the boy gulp.

"I can't tell you," Arson whispers.

Kiley pulled a smile as if he told her a joke. She didn't want the others getting into this for two reasons One, It her fault they're in this fucking position and Two, She wants to clean up her dads ugly mess before it go any bigger. Besides push comes to shove she has her moms pills she could survive...if they don't kill her," Why?"

"They'll kill you," He whispers back harshly his brown eye's darkening in anger and worry.

Kiley lets a chuckle slip her lips shaking her head before saying," Yer funny," She said with a smirk.

"Kiley, I'm bein' serious! Baron went," Arson lowers his voice and holds his hand to her ear," He was dead," He whispered," Baron confronted on of them and he died Ki," He backed away.

"How well do they know these woods?" Kiley asked looking at Arson curiously.

"At least as well as your pa. Why?" Arson asked glancing at her.

"I know every fuckin' crook and cranny of the forest suroundin' this damn bunker," Kiley whispers looking around trying to find the glint again," I know where my papaw hid his weapons. I know the hiding spots the cave mouth openin's an' the extra entrances ta the bunker that not even my pa knew 'bout," Kiley says a scowl coming on her face as she thought of her "father".

"Well if you know so much then you go find them cause I don't know," Arson said giving a worried looking around as well,"Just don't die," Arson said.

Kiley nods making her way to the Humvee to get her rifle trying to come up with a convincing story to tell the marine knowing full and well that lies don't do. She stops when she sees Jin and Hataru thinking that they were about to attack then relaxed a bit before walking and opening her back door and grabbing her sisters small pistol, the ammo along with the extra rifle ammo she had and two packets of jerky to give Jarvis. Getting back out she closed the door and heads for the tank she climbs up to the hatch seeing it cracked a bit so Kiley jumped in dropped off then jerky and hopped out. Landing on the ground she heads to the bunker hopping to get a bow,arrows, and her buck knife she has in her room that hope fully is still in the bunker.

To make things worse all the noise and chatter from the forest began to bring I unwanted guests. These guests where the Xenos that had been hunting them sense they left New York only there wasn't a dozen of them. It would seem like there was no end to them.... Some of them were even hopping from tree to tree as they neared the bunker. They could sense every life form in the area through scent as well as hear anything that made a sound. It did not take long before the bunker was completely surrounded and once they had one of them began to reveal itself by climbing down from atop the bunker. This caused a few of the survivors outside to rush inside but one did not make it as it leaped for the survivor. It pinned the man to the ground and before anyone could react it punched a hole through the mans head. Of course what it got was heavy fire from one of Erika's father's men. A few hits to the xeno and it clumped to the floor in a lifeless heap.

. This caused the other men to look around. "Sir, we are surrounded... By Xenomorphs. We must take to the air." He said. Rothius looked to his men and nodded and then looked to Erika and grabbed her wrist. "I lost your mother to those things, I will not lose you." He said. She did not argue with his logic and went with him. She began to gun a few of the Xenomorphs as she made it to the chopper which was already prepped for take off. As soon as she got on as well as his men they raised off the ground and quickly began opening fire on the Xenomorphs.

Jin and Hotaru had spread begun their attack on the Xenos as well. Bullets ripping into the masses of the monsters. Jarvis made a run for the tank, Miles and Bakki giving him cover fire as he climbed up its side. He even had to draw out his desert eagle and shoot down a few as he did so. Once he got in he closed the hatch and then grabbed a hold of the sticks and turret began to turn around. It fired it's first round blowing away a good number Xenos and scattering the rest but more came.

Blitz and the remaining of Ralphs men took fire on the Xenomorphs. When she saw Jarvis on the move she shot a few Xenos before going back to protecting herself. Her eyes scanned for Kiley as she did when she finally caught sight of the girl she had a major surprise. Standing with Kiley were at least a good 40 men and woman all battle ready firing at the Xenos. About 10 broke off and came running to where the vehicles are some dodging Xenos advances and firing like they've known what was going to happen. Once they some got to Blitz she had a feeling they may have a chance. Then the sound of sniper rifles going of could be heard from the underbrush and the bunker.

Kiley had about had enough of these Xenos let out a unrelenting fire of bullets out on to the Xenos. It wasn't long until she saw other fighters come out of the bunker and join in. It also wasn't long until she had ran out of bullets,"Shit!" She growls reaching for another load but she couldn't feel it," Fuck," She growls.

"Here," She looks over and sees a man handing her part of his ammo. Not wasting time and taking cover Kiley grabs the ammo and began firing again. There was a yell and she saw one of the teens that her father had trained about to be impaled, well until she shot it. Quickly she runs to the boy about to help him up when she sees that his foot was crooked.

"Damn," She mutters as she threw his arm around her shoulders. Before she could move Another Xenomorph had jumped at them," Oh fuck off," She growls kicking the fucker and knocking it away Kiley and the teen both made a rush for the bunker. As soon as she got there the boy was taken by medics and into the bunker. Kiley turned seeing there were a few other of their men injured she looks at her fathers men before saying," I need 3 o' ya'll ta come wit' me an' get the injured,"

"I'll do it," The man who had given her the ammo answer.

"Aye," Another said his irish accent strong," Lass I would love ta come wit' ya,"

"I'll come to," Arson said.

"A'ight the rest o' ya'll cover our asses!" Kiley yelled running forward towards the first injured man shooting the Xenos of him.

Erika felt a little odd riding in the helicopter. Wasn't so much the idea that she was right beside her father ,but what she was doing. She found some sort of enjoyment out of killing these Xenomorphs. It was like every kill caused a sliver of her stress would vanish. It was just so simple, the pulling of her trigger, the dropping of each Xeno in her sight. A smirk even formed on her face.

Miles backed himself up until he had joined the sides of those survivors trying to do exactly what their name implies surviving with a barrage of gunfire. Their shots were not as sparingly as his, he fired in short bursts, they didn't. He sighed but he let it go. For right now they were fighting a tide worse then anything they could imagine. A tide, judging from the people who climbed out of the wood work, that brought them together to fight one enemy. Thus enemy would not go down easy. Even if the Xenos couldn't take us right now and retreated. They would leave and take footings else where and get more numbers. As long as the Queen remained alive these Xenomorphs would continue to be a plague upon this good earth. The only way to survive is to get away from their path and hope yours never crosses theirs again.

Bakki, unfortunately he did not carry a assault rifle like most of the people around him, he had his dragonov sniper rifle. He had to time his shots perfectly. Each shot hitting its mark. Each bullet tearing into his targets. It resulted in the front end of xeno having its face exploded from the impact or a limb flying off spray acid every which way. He didn't even notice one of Ralph's ex militia standing beside him. Until the man gave him reason to. It started with the man holding his fire to replace the empty mag. The clever Xenos now free of his power took advantage of it and one ran for him. The Xeno slammed the man to the ground. It began to crawl over him and took position. The Xenos tail lining up with his gut read to impale. However Bakki halted its progress by taking his sword and slicing its head in half. The piece sliding down to the ground as the creature slumped to the ground.

Jin kept his fire going as much as he could. Until the worse had happened. Something hit the gun. A big massive hit of acidic spit that began its job by melting the barrel. He had to yell down below to make sure Hotaru didn't get hit by the spit that made it through roof. "Don't let that spit touch you!" He yelled. Hotaru had to shove herself out of the jeep as she saw the spit come down. She was a little saddened by it cause the jeep was a home to her. She couldn't stop for a second though and continued to fire her weapon.

Jin climbed out of the jeep and joined beside her. P90 in one hand and his sword in the other. He swore to protect her as well as he could.

Jarvis kept his fire on the Xenos toppling trees as well. He as well was enjoying himself. Yelling out words over the radio like "Did you see that?!" He said as he got a bundle of them.

. Erika's father stood upon the deck of the gunship watching his men open fire upon the creatures and a slight glance to the right he saw the pilot press the red button on the joy stick to cause one of the rockets from its pods to impact against a group of xenos.

Blitz couldn't help but smirk enjoying watching these monsters die. It didn't take long before she saw one coming up on man who was helping one of his friends who had a large cut on his side from one of the monsters. One was coming up on her quickly she took aim with her AK and fired at the one behind the man before turning and shooting the one coming at her down,"Nope try again," A his came from behind her,"oh for fuck," Blitz squats down the Xeno spitting missing her by just hair before it had a bullet in its head. Standing up she looks to where the two men were and saw them heading back towards the bunker. With a sigh she turns and a crazy smirk came onto her face,"COME AT ME FUCKERS!!" She yelled before shooting at the next Xenos.

Kiley ran around the fighting firing at Xenos that everyone was battling when she could. She heard soft steps behind her and ducked when a claw came out at her and jumped away from it but was caught by a tail to her back making her almost scream out. Kiley turned her gun on the one in front of her shooting it before moving the hell out of the way when the one behind her attacked and shot it dead. She felt tears coming from her eyes she was in so much pain this.

"it could be worse stop bein' a wuss an' get yer ass out t'ere," Marcus had said to her when Kiley had gotten a bad cut on her arm while playing football with Elyanna's guy friend when she was 10. So wipping off her tears she stood up straight and shot another Xeno who was trying to sneak up on her. Kiley saw that the number of Xenos in the battle going down some trying to retreat. She lets out a whistle catching her dads men attention,"We got runners!," she yelled. The militia nodded quarter of them went and shot at the ones who were trying to run the others remained fighting with Erikas fathers men and Erika's group.

The amount of Xenomorphs that had attacked began to dwindle down to a small few and it didn't take long for them to go down as well. The Xenomorphs had stopped coming at them giving the people at the bunker time to relax. Erika knew it wasn't over, that none of it will ever be over. She hoped that this fight opened the eyes of those below to see that the enemy is them not other people. The Xenomorphs will be back though and there was nothing they could do about it except count their ammo and those that are still alive and if possible dig graves for those that died today. She looked to the ground and could see that despite the amount of Xenos they killed, that they did suffer losses. Some where lucky and only injured but some had been killed. She sighed knowing that this was only the beginning. The helicopter began to lower once more. This time her father stepped out along with her, with him was his men.

"Do not think of this as a victory,... the Xenomorphs will be back with more eventually. They will keep attacking until each and every single one of you are dead or dying." He father said. "All you can do is reinforce your defenses and make sure you have enough ammo." He said and he looked to his men. "We shall help with the reinforcing part. Call to head quarters and get a engineering team down here as well as a few more men." he said and the man nodded, moving to the helicopter to place the order. "Also make sure a team of our finest comes. If we can't finish the design back at the base we shall do it here." He said referring to the augmentations in Erika's arms.

Miles and the other three men Jarvis, Jin and Bakki were helping the wounded inside while this went down. Hotaru helping out where she could. It wasnt much but it was her best.

Kiley and Arson helped a large lumber jack looking man who had a puncher wound on the thigh and a whole in his arm and shine when he fell and had to basically drag himself to shelter.

"We got a bad one!" Kiley yelled as they got to the entrance of the bunker. The made up "medic" team ran over and put the man on the stretcher and run him back. She sighs looking back at the bunker watching everyone walk in they were safe for now looking around she counts off her people. Jarvis, Bakki, Blitz coming up with an injured man, Jin and Miles doing the same thing and Hotaru doing everything she can to help. Kiley smiled but exhaustion finally got to her as well as her pain taking toll, her body was shutting down without her even really realizing it. She gave Arson a smile an pat on the back before going to the darkest and emptiest corner. As she does so she notice the dark looks some of the people she passed gave her but she was to tired to give a pigs ass about that. Finally sitting down on a crate before she placed her elbows on her knees reaching her arm out grabbing her sisters gun and making sure her rifle was next to her Kiley took a much need nap.

Blitz lets out a sigh and looked around seeing if everyone in her group was okay. As it was they are except one was missing but knowing Kiley she was probably helping someone so with a shrug she goes over to Bakki," Well do ya think that we can make something work here?"

Bakki looked over to Blitz and shrugged. "Depends,... on if those black serpents lets it work out." He said. Referring to the fact that they had tried to stick with large groups quite a lot but the Xenomorphs kept anything from happening for a long time. He looked back to the people he was helping. A few heard him and looked his way. "Of course last time we didn't have the helicopter so it might help a lot." He said to try and boost their confidence, but not only theirs but his as well. His faith in them surviving this fight had dwindled some over the past couple days. Problem was it would get even worse over time.

Erika came over and patted him on the back. "Don't worry guys,... we now have the backing of my father. A head scientist for Wayland Corporation. That does make a large difference. Seeing as some supplies wont be to hard to get and back up if we need one." She said. Her mood was much better then a couple hours ago. Her spirit lifted with the aid of her father and one less head ache to deal with.

Miles was down below looking at blue prints of the bunker. His purpose was to locate any weak points in which the Xenos could get in. They needed to seal each one of them and secure a way out if they needed it. Jin stayed beside Hotaru as she brought water to those in need of it and he kept his eye on those around her and himself. His hand held a firm grip on his sword and his gun.

Blitz lets out a low chuckle looking at Erika with a smirk," Yeah, I guess you're right," She said," We do have that advantage."
Her stomach lets out a loud roar making Blitz jump a bit before letting out a smirk," Ya think they have some food? I fergot ta eat," She said looking a bit sheepish.

A Doctor stopped in front of Kiley going to ask her if she was okay before she saw the rips and tears of the her work shirt and the blood along it. The woman reached out a touched Kiley causing the girl's eyes to shoot open and point her loaded gun at the woman.

"Woah, Easy sweetie," The Doctor said as Kiley relaxed and put the gun down.

"'M sorr fer that miss," Kiley said kindly running her hand through her hair.

"Well I just came to check on you sweetheart," The doc said a bit concerned.

"'re the other injured check?" Kiley asked leaning so the scratch on her back didn't sting..turned out it made it worse. She lets out a his and leaned back and again lets out another hiss of pain.

"Not yet because one is trying to be noble and stupid," The doctor said, putting a hand on her hip and giving the girl a look saying 'challenge me' making Kiley laugh shaking her head

"Yeah, I jus' don' wanna take away from others," Kiley says weakly, The doctor smirks throwing Kiley's arm over her should and helping her towards the infirmary.

"Okay, I get it now lets get you fixed up and healthy," The doctor says patting the girls shoulder.

Erika's father finally came over to where the trio had stood. He made Bakki really nervous, mostly because the way the man carried himself he seemed way up the ladder when it comes to the corporation he works for. "You two must be Erika's friends. I am Rothius Brawn, I am the chief scientist in the weapons division of Wayland Yutani corporation. I was the one that installed the augmentations in my daughter's arms." He said gesturing to them. He then looked down at the Bunker behind them. He turned to the man standing next to him. "Sergeant, access this make shift bases defenses, I believe Major Miles is on it already. Just have him debrief you of what he has found so far." He ordered. The man nodded and gestured to the men by the helicopter. They quickly joined Rothius's side. This brought a sigh and smirk from him. He looked to Blitz after her little episode and rose a brow. "You do know that is very unhealthy to let your self go too long without eating." He said. He then smiled as he thought of his two marines. Erika and her mother ate loads of food when they were hungry.

Miles continued to look at the map marking places on it where the bunker would be weak. One of the survivors were standing next to him as he pointed. "These spots here all need to be closed. We only need to leave one of these back entrances opened and very well camoflauged. That way we got an escape route in case shit hits the fan, and it will." He said. That was when one of Rothius's heavily armed men stepped up across from the table. He looked up and the man leaned in. "Alright, Major let me know what needs blocked off and what needs done. When the engineering team comes in we will get right to it. Will only take a hour for them to get here." He said. The Major nodded and so the debriefing began.

Blitz smiled at the man rubbing the back of her head she was far from nervous but right now she was shaking and she needed to eat," I never meant to do it on purpose sir," she said putting her hand back down," I jus' don't eat well when it comes to being on edge. Actually last thing on my mind actually," Blitz admits,"I could see if Jarvis has some Jerky I could eat," she says.

The Doctor pats Kiley shoulder kindly before she left to go give Kiley some food and water. Kiley had an injured back she's was lucky it did't cut anything important, she was also dehydrated, though Kiley found it funny because she swore she had a drink of water or something.

"Kiley," The girls eyes looked up to see The man who had given her the ammo.

"Oh hello-"

"Damien," The man said with a light chuckle.

"-well thank ya fer the ammo An' helpin' me with the injured," Kiley said smiling at the man.

"Anything fer a friend," Damien said with a smirk

"Well you get in there and eat, you deserve the rations" Rothius said to Blitz. "You can take that as a order if you would like." A smirk forming on his lips as he brought up a index finger and pushed his glasses closer to his face. He then looked to the sky and could already see two lights from up on high coming down. He then turned around and began to survey the area. His glasses were not just for looks. They acted as a heads up display. He picked up hardly any movement for the time being. There were a few Xenos hanging around but they were only watching. Observing their every move it would seem. He looked to one of his men and pointed towards the trees. "The enemy has placed a few scouts, have some of our men eliminate them." He ordered. The man nodded and pressed the side of his helmet. "You heard the man...." After wards you could see the shells of the guns by the helicopter from soldiers. The guns were certainly high tech as each shell hit their mark and hit them well.

It did not take long for two pods from the sky to hit the ground with a large thud. Kicking up dirt everywhere. Then doors swung down and out one pod came out a engineering team with heavy machinery. The crew moved to the entrance and began working on fortifications right away. The other pod and more soldiers and a few lab coats. They were weapons engineers. "Those men are for you Erika, go with them into the pod and they will finish the upgrades and enhancements on your arms." He said. ERika nodded and looked to Blitz and Bakki giving a friendly gesture and running to meet the scientists.

Blitz looks at Bakki putting a hand on his arm trying to comfort him,"We got this Bakki. This time might--No will be different," She said giving him a small smile,"Now let's go meet the newbies an' then go stuff our faces what'chya say?" Blitz says before releasing Bakki's arm and going after Erika excited to meet the teams. She's always been one to be curious about a lot of things and this had her intrest she could help but be a little exited about the whole thing. Well minus the fight for your life part but everyone in the place has been at that point by now.

Kiley walked down a hall being guided by some guards as the went stopping she regonized a large lab not to far from the entrance. Curious she looks at the guards to ask if she can look inside.

"No," The guard said grabbing her arm and moving her roughly.

"'Ey watch asshole!" Kiley growled pulling her arm from him.

"Man calm down she's Ralph's kid she may snap," One said chuckling.

"Fuck ya! 'M nothin' like 'im!" Kiley was about to yell. The guards laugh again and push her towards her new room before shutting the door behind her. Kiley held up her middle finger before looking around her room It was roomy kinda despite most of the stuff being a bit out of date. Sighing she slowly made her way to her bed and laid down belly first and closed her eyes.

Jin sat upon a pretty tall box within the bunker. His legs crossed and his sword laying on his lap. Next to him was his P90. His eyes were closed and his breathing slowed as he let his whole body relax. Most of the people in the bunker paid him no mind ,looking to him with a single glance and passed along quietly. Leaning on a box on his right was Hotaru. Her arms placed between the back of her head and the box. She sighed and looked over to Jin. He seemed so relaxed and calm. After watching him for a few seconds she felt a yawn come over her. She decided to climb up the box and sit next to him and lean her body against his. His body was smooth from all the sweat that poured from his arms. Once more she began to trace the lines of his tattoos. Every second she spent she could feel her eye lids getting heavier as sleep was trying to take her. She tried to fight it but this was one thing that she couldn't do. Eventually her hand fell and landed on his thigh as she drifted into slumber. Jin slowly raised one arm and adjusted her position so that her head was firmly placed on his thigh and acted as a pillow. He then continued his moment of relaxation.

Miles had more men now with him as he was instructing engineers where to build their fortifications. With the current set up he had designed there would only be two entrances to the bunker. The entrance they all came in from and a exit down a shaft from the back. The other exits were in the process of being blocked off for good with the entrance and the exit being fortified with steel locking doors that would be impossible for a ordinary Xeno to punch through. Of course this did not stop the spitters from doing their work on it, but it was all he could do. A doctor, not one of the doctors of the bunker, but one of the ones sent down from the Wayland Facility high up in the sky approached him. The doctor had noticed his wounds. "May I take a look at them,... they may not have been properly checked before and now you got enough time for someone to do so." The doctor said. He looked to the voice and found that it belonged to a woman. He smirked and shrugged. She would not take no for a answer and escorted him to a seat and sat him down. Here she began to examine his arms and even poked at the wounds. "You have been continuing on with wounds so deep... You pushed yourself way to hard." She said. His only response was him raising a hand to the back of his head and scratching it. "Never really got the chance to relax...." He said. She nodded understanding his situation. She then pulled a vial from her coat and poured a bit of its substance on to her fingers and began to apply it to the wounds. Once that was over she wrapped his arms in bandages.

Where Erika was going Blitz could not follow. There was not much room in the pod where she was going and the soldiers blocked her path. "I am sorry ma'am, but you can not go any further. I fear you would just be in the way of the doctors from doing their job." One said. The other remained silent but kept his attention on the woman. "Besides were you not wanting something to eat or something? Go do that and then come back. You can look at the work done to Miss Erika then. She should be done by then." He had added.

Bakki was not as convinced that the situation would be better or worse then before. He always thought other places were in the past and yet the black serpents always came and destroyed what little hope he had. He sighed and turned and headed into the bunker. He decided he should get some sort of rest. He was too tired to eat right now. The day was a long and hard one and he wasn't sure if he could last another minute.

Erika followed the doctors within the pod and she looked around. The place looked just like the lab she had gotten the augmentations in the past. It was white with bright lights and she could see all the equipment. She looked to one doctor,... "You will put me under before the needles go in right? I still can stand needles." She said and the doctors nodded. It wasn't she was afraid of them, it was just that the whole day was spent dodging the tails that were trying to run her through.

Blitz nods," Alright," She said before turning on her heal and heading back. She raised her hand and saw that she was shaking and she silently cursed before jogging towards the messhall. Coming into there some people waved at her others yelled hi ,mostly kids, and Blitz of course smiled and waved back heading to the table where the food is. Grabbing a plate ad stacking up on sandwiches and fruit before she felt a presents behind her she quickly turned and saw nothing.

"Down hwere!" I small voice said making Blitz look down to find a little boy about 4-5 yearsold standing there.

"'ello there," Blitz says smiling.

"Can I awsk oo sumt'in'?" The boy asked looking nervous.

"Of course," Blitz said taking her food from the table,"Wanna eat with me? My friends are busy and I don't wanna eat by myself," Blitz offers. The boy brightens and nods vigorously making Blitz laugh and walks towards an empty table the boy firing question after question leaving her to answer him.

Kiley groans into her pillow shifting her body letting out yet another groan,"Man I don' wanna be 'ere," Kiley mutters," I wonder.." Kiley mutters before yelling," ARSON!!! BLITZ!!! HELLO!?" She yelled before face planting on her pillow again. Kiley finally began to relax again thoughts began to go through her head. What's going to happen? What will they do? Finally figure out a way to make these stupid aliens go away?

"Maybe make acid proof suits?" he thought out loud making herself laugh," Oh man that would be freakin' amazin'."

Kiley sighs looking over at a night stand and she felt something vibrate on her butt making her freeze,"No way," She mutters bring her hand to the butt pocket and bringing out ,a cracked but perfectly fine, Idroid. Clicking her power button she saw that she had 87% left and her lock screen was a picture of Elyana flipping off the camera but smiling mischievously. Her eyes burned she explored more of her phone then she saw Elyana's contact number and clicked 'call'. Three rings later," Hi this Is Elly! Leave a message!" Kiley almost sobbed hearing her sister voice again. A beep sounded:

""ey Ely, I-it's Kiley. Uhm I made it home and I saw Momma and Pa...An' uncle Marcus! I-it was c-cool. Yet..," Kiley hesitated," Pa had to die..he went crazy Ely. H-he wanted ta IMPRISON me," He voice cracked,"If it weren't fer Jarvis having the radio tuned..Iwould probably be dead..There were so many time i would've been dead," Kiley said,"Oh! Uhm we got new people! A lrge big buff German dude named Jarvis he-he's pretty cool and likes jerky," Kiley lets out a weak chuckle,"He's trying to stop smoking, Then theres Bakki I haven't spent much time with him but he's pretty cool, Then there's this woman named Blitz she's a friend now to me almost big sister despite knowing her fore only a week 'r s-so," Kiley said tears running down her face swallowing she spoke again," Erika's okay by the way, She found her Pa. I'm glad she needed that I don' think I've seen her so happy but 'er ma didn't make it sadly. Miles is still alive he didn't get any help for his wounds yet. I'm sure that he has that bein' takin' care of right now," Kiley sighs laying her head on the pillow," Hotaru is alright and so is Jin...Remember him? I don't think you met him. Anyway he has this freakin' kick ass sword that is as long as a jedi lightsaver," Kiley lets out a weak laugh," Don' tell him I compared it to starwars though I don' want 'im kickin' my ass just yet," She says laughing lightly. Silently she looks around the room before letting out a shakey sigh and speaking," El..I'm sorry I wasn't payin' attention...An' I'm sorry fer bein' mean..slappin' ya..," She goes quiet for a moment,"I love ya big sister an' I wish ya were 'ere. It's Kinda lonely now ya know.. I'll be okay soon. I got ta go...bye," Kiley pulled her phone away and pressed end before placing her phone on the table and turning her head and falling into a dreamless sleep.

At the same time as she sat down at the empty table Blitz was joined by the tall German, Jarvis. He had a meal built for two but it was all for him. Beside it was two bottles of coke. He smiled at her and stuck his fork into what was a piece of chicken fried steak next to some smash potatoes. Country gravy spread over both as well as three corn on the cob. He looked over to the kid and smirked. "Making friends as always Blitz?" He asked. He looked around the place as he cut into his meal. He saw the wounded and he saw the healthy. The odds of any of them surviving the next attack was pretty slim. Then again accounting for the help Erika's pops might improve them ,but one could never be too cautious. One thing he knew about these Xenos was that they were opportunists. All it would take is one guy in here to fuck up and this whole thing could fall apart. That's how he lost the original crew to the tank and the base he was stationed at. They were pretty well fortified and nothing got through their defenses due to a electrical fence. All it took was one human to forget to turn it on and when the Xenomorphs attacked enough of them swarmed over the fence that it did not matter when it was turned on. The base had already been lost. He was certain that man would have been Ralph, however he died. Good riddance if you asked him. Perhaps there were someone still loyal to him and crazy enough to pull it off. Say that person knew of a entrance not mentioned in the blue prints and didn't tell anyone about it. Say the damned monsters outside found it and used it to get inside..... the whole operation would go to shit just like that. He sighed and looked back at his meal and started on it.

Bakki sat outside on top of the tank. He found himself watching the engineers at their work. The were working fast and efficient at the defenses of the bunker. He wondered if it would be enough. He hoped it would be enough. He took note of a few sentry towers that had been erected. These towers had already men stationed on them. Every so often he would see a tracer round fire off from one of them. They made sure that the Xenomorph scouts would not be able to watch too much of their work. The black serpents will never leave them alone. Even now he could imagine them swarming around the country side swallowing up the innocents in their wake. He suddenly had an idea and climbed into the tank and found the radio. He pulled it out and brought it with him into the bunker and set it up. He then began to mess with the dials until he got a radio broadcast. "....We have even more bad news for our fellow Americans. The south eastern and north eastern states have gone silent with no radio contact from anyone. Nothing. It pains me to say this but it sounds like the monsters that took New York have claimed half the country and according to reports parts of Canada as well...." The broadcaster had paused for only a second and then continued. "... What remains of the nations great military is doing everything they can to fight the monsters but the fight is going no where fast and each fight creates more casualties.... If you are out there and still within the eastern states. Stay where you are and continue to fight the good fight. I will continue to bring you the news,... no matter how much pain it will cause to hear it." Bakki sighed and knew that the news had pretty much told him and several survivors around him that they were surrounded and not for the best. They were just one speck of heaven in the ever growing pit of hell. He sighed and sat back in his seat.

Erika remained within the pod. She was removing most of her clothing as instructed. She was beginning to wonder just what they were going to do to her. She sighed and figured her father new it was best and that it would improve her survival. Probably improve the survival of her friends too. She paused and thought of them. Kiley, Jin, Hotaru, Blitz, Jarvis, and Bakki. They were the only ones she really cared about. The survivors sharing the safety of the bunker did not matter to her too much. She didn't know them and their involvement with Ralph. However, she knew she could not protect them all. She would try to save as many as she could but the lives of those that she brought here in the first place came first. It may have sounded a bit cold when she thought of it that way but it was true. These people meant nothing to her. She accepted the fact they might not make it. Not all of them. She knew there was a small chance she might not make it either. She was also okay with that. If it was her time it would be her time. She had no siblings and the only family she had left was her father. Miles was hers and he would likely feel the worse if she had died.

Once most of the heavy clothes were off she looked to a mirror and looked at herself. All she wore was the tank top and a pair of her underwear. What she saw was spots where bruising had taken place. She sighed and looked at the doctors who came to check up on her. "Don't tell father about them,... don't want him to worry." She said and they nodded. It was his best interest not to know the risks she took to get to this spot and all the close encounters with the reaper. If he knew he would likely sedate her and take away from here to a much safer place. Which would be nice but she could not leave Miles or the others. Their survival depended on her being here. She walked over to the table and laid down upon it. The doctors already began their work. First they began injecting fluids around the bruising. She did not know what it was but it worked marvels as the bruising disappeared almost instantly. Then came the sedative for her. It was quick and painless. One of them new syringes which had a small needle and the fluids where injected quickly without any pain at all. It was almost as if they hadn't injected anything at all. Her eyelids began to get heavier and heavier and the room began to blur as she lost consciousness.

Blitz lets out a chuckle,"I got nothing better to do," She says looking at the little boy who was look up at the man with wide eyes making her laugh harder,"Jarvis I-I think ya surprised the poor thing!" She said. The boy was staring at Jarvis with complete and total amazement. Jarvis was right though Blit has awlways been the social butterfly of the group always making friends and Allies.

Noah stared up at the large man, He's seen a few big men in his short life but Noah couldn't really comprehend who was in front of him. He looks away and rubs his eyes before looking back,"Oo huge!" Noah said without really thing. Making Blitz giggle behind him," How'd oo get that big? I wanna be that big!" He says hopping in his seat a bit
