Bleeding Harts Gates of Heaven and Hell

They were still on me, I couldnt shake them. It didnt seem to matter what I did the stayed on my tail. I am Harold direct descendent of Jones and Sarah. They were the first to fight zombies. Jones was killed by them, Sarah in the beginning of the third world war. The devastation left over from the first few years of the war witch is still raging made cities retreat into supper buildings. Now hole countries have been made out of those vary same cities.
The buzzer sounded, letting me know I had been locked on to. Then the missile siren flared. This was going to be fun I thought to my self with just a hint of sarcasm. I pushed the throttle into full afterburners and pulled back on the stick. I climbed vertical until I saw him pass my position then I leveled off the missile began to gain on me instantly. I took my fighter ANX15 into a dive and gained speed. The Gs forced me into my seat. The blood began to run to my head as I pulled out. I almost blacked out from it. I passed the other fighter at approximately mach 3.2 the missile went form him instead of me, but I still got hit by debris from the impact that the missile impact on there right wing had. They spiraled down in a cloud of smoke and fire, before they hit they ejected. My plane had suffered serious damage from the debris and wasnt going to make it back to base. (The ANX stands for Aircraft of Newhaven experimental.)
I put down my aircraft near the site I saw there parachute go down. I midis well bring in the person for interrogation. I found the person lying up against a tree. It wasnt a he it was a she. She had taken off her flight gear and was breathing heavily. I rushed back to my plane and grabbed my first aid kit and headed back to her. She was still alive but going fast I started patching her up. She had a puncture through her right chest though not the lung. She was lucky. She had to many injuries to make it for vary long, and my air craft was leaking fuel out of its wings.

I decided to risk a flight back home with her. I put her in the back of the cockpit; strapped my self in and got the vertical thrusters going. The air craft began to shake and rattle in the cockpit as the engines fought against gravity and lifted me off the ground slowly. When I was above the tree line I switched to ford after burners. I was pushed back into my seat; I realized all of a sudden I was also being pushed into her. I turned on auto pilot; reached back and pulled her onto my lap. I took control back and flew about two hundred feet above the tree line. The sun started setting to our backs as we headed east across the trees and a lake. The orange clouds above us moved and began there takeover of the sky. The scene wasnt all glamorous though. A huge smoke cloud rose up on the horizon like a dark scepter trying to murder the mocking clouds.
We were almost to the smoking ruins of the city; placing us about half way to Newhaven; when I ran out of fuel.
154Charlie Hotel, two miles west of smoky point, calling a Mayday, Mayday Im out of fuel. I said into the radio.
Roger 154Charlie Hotel well send Kane out to get you. One thing that hadnt changed sense the time of Jones was Kane. Many have speculated at how he seems to have an eternal life. Most think he made a pill to make him live forever. Though I wouldnt put it past him I dont believe it.
It was a relatively smooth crash; but most any crash well done is smooth. I pulled her out after me. She looked at me directly; she was pale as a ghost even her black long hair was begging to look less glamorous every passing second. I toughed her face; cold almost lifeless. She then coughed up blood and died eyes still locked on mine. I used my hand to close her eyes.
Dam it. I cursed under my breath, now I was going to have to carry her all the way back. I got on the radio and told them to get the vats ready.

A glistening bluish disk appeared about a yard a way it was a companied by a humming sound. Kane jumped out and on to the ground. He was wearing a dark trench coat.
I didnt know there were two of you. Kane said as soon as he spotted us. I can only take oneOhShes dead well I know which one to take. Good luck getting through smoky point. Theres been a lot of activity there in the past few hours. Kane slung her over his shoulder and went back the way he came, the blue disk disappearing after him.
I went over to the cargo compartment on my fighter and grabbed more clips for my night hawk and a hunting knife that I stuffed up my left sleeve. I had only two grenades and enough food to last a night. I started east again; the woods were dark now, dark and merciless. After a few miles I reached the out skirts of the ruined city known as smoky point. There were zombies there, everywhere. I hid behind a broken wall segment that wasnt more then three feet high. I pulled my night hawk out of its holster. I peeked over the top of the wall just in time to see a brilliantly red Plasma incinerate the first zombie and start dancing between the others.
PlasmaticShit. I cursed at the plasmatic as when it was done with the zombies I would be next. I aimed my pistol at him and held it steady. I fired and fired again I continued to fire until the plasmatic was lying motionless on the ground and the plasma stopped flying everywhere as the beam had split. When it was relatively safe to go out I did and started across town.

*2 thumbs up*

My first stop was the Plasmatica he was still laying motionless, but his suits life support system was working hard to bring him back. I wasnt going to have any of that. I took his helmet and neck guard off and broke his neck. The suit cant repair what it cant touch he had some more ammo and another pistol for me. I did not take his plasma rifle because I didnt have the proper suit on and his was badly damaged (not to mention only programmed for him.). I made it into down town with out much trouble. The air in the down town area smelled of Not rot, but something else all of a sudden I recognized it. The Air was heavily charged with ions. That could only mean one thing. Ionic Burner. I ran to the nearest Man Hole and jumped into the sewer just in time to hear the rushing sound of pure positive energy (for though of you who dont know what that is it is a bit hotter then the sun as it generates a shit load of heat as it tries to stabilize its self.) engulf the entire town. I ran deeper into the sewage sludge and covered my self in shit to protect me from the heat of the Ionic Burner the man holes melted and the walls became red hot the sludge began to boil and I blacked out.

Yes I may live forever,
Certainly I will live longer than you will.
Kane talking to Emilio 2149.

I woke up some time latter, as a C class thopter landed and people pored out. A few came towards me. They were from New Haven, there uniforms told me. Thank god for that. All the shit on and around me had been burned away. The fire and heat resistant material in my suit had saved my ass. They brought me back to base to treat my burns. The ride over was vary relaxing. Snow had begun to fall when we got back to base. When my burns were treated Kane took me for a walk to the vats.

(thanks ShadowGL)

no problemo

At the Vat Intergraded Controls or VIC we met Emilio. Emilio is our second best technician second only to Kane.
Shes a beauty this one. How did you get her? Emilio said in that kind of high pitched voice he had.
Not right now. She has operational knowledge; we will need to interrogate her. I said an ache in my right arm made me start to rub it. Kane noticed.
Hows your arm?
Its been better.
The surgeons had to replace some of the damaged metallic parts. A long time ago when I was in the ground forces; not the air core I was a sergeant and was told to hold an old beat up road at all costs. I was given command over ten men. We held the road despite heavy resistance. Only I came back, and not all of me at that. My right eye, ear, arm, most of my right chest, and the lower half of my right leg were replaced with cybernetics. I can still hear the screams of the men that didnt come back. The ones that stand out the most are toughs that were hit by the plasmatic they got on us. The vats were just now finishing up with healing her wounds. Soon they would start the process of brining her back to life.
The process started and after a while she moved her head to the side eyes still closed. The moment her eyes opened they locked on to mine in that same way they did just before she died. She may have been paralyzed by the machinery but her eyes showed me that she was frightened like a caged animal is scared of the unknown.

She was to go into interrogation as soon as possible. We would see how far up the line she would get, I am second to last interrogator Kane is the last. Vary few make it past me, it is a record I am proud of. In the meantime Kane took me down to the Suit Lab. I need a replacement for my old one anyways. We started to look at the suits available for a fighter pilot when a transmission came for Kane, he took it in his study, I continued to look at the different suits. The difference between a pilot suit and an infantry suit was how bulky and rugged it is.
They cant even get her name and rank. This one will most defiantly get to you, maybe even me. Kane said as he came back over to me.
Hope she doesnt get to you I remember the last few.
So they lost there mind a little it was no big deal besides we got the info from them.
Little?! The spent five years in a mental institution, one of them is still in it!

Harold, please report to the interrogation chambers. Harold please report to the interrogation chambers. The inter com announced.
Looks like she made it to you.
She wont make it past me. I turned and left. It wasnt a long walk to the chambers, but once there I was directed to the room I would interrogate her in. I took my seat facing the door. The room was empty except for a table and two chairs. She was pushed in after about a minute had passed. I motioned for her to sit in the seat opposite of me; she had been put in rags, it was something Salem loved doing.
Al have proper cloths given to you after this session Dont look so scared, you should have been briefed at your base about interrogation. Judging by how little youve told us I bet you have. Now are you willing to tell me your name? I cant just call you prisoner. She just sat and looked across at me, no longer scared, but more like an unmoving statue. All I want to know right now is your name, I all ready know youre an officer. They wouldnt let you fly if you werent. She still did nothing; I kept trying for another hour before ending the session. I got up to leave and made a final comment to her from standing right next to her I crouched down so we were looking eye to eye. I dont know why they pushed you through the others so fast, usually I only get toughs who have been hear for months. I got up shook my head and headed for the door.
She bolted from the chair and grabbed my leg and would not let go.
Please. Is all she said. She could say no more as tears began to fill her eyes. I brought her up to her feet and sat her back in the chair.
What is it you want? I said trying to calm her down.

Wow, this is quite impressive. Definately original and different than all the other stories here. The only suggestion I could go into would be describe the surroundings and the people a little more.

Very good, a lot of good ideas, but you need to do paragraphs. It's too compact.


I love it ^^

Hmmm scary picture... mmhmmm

Kane was waiting out side after I was done with the interrogation.
Well Did she talk?
Yes, they are planning to release the E virus on colony one.
What! Kane yelled.
You heard me. Kane dashed off to make preparations. Colony one is an orbital colony so Kane must get the ship ready to take up armed marines.

Cool scifi setting, I like it a lot Like redfield said, a lil bit more description and it gets even better.
