(OOC - I have a plan on how this is going to end. Gustave will be beaten unconscious but when they bring him to the hospital, he's already died from the multiple injuries he received while fighting them. Alfred will spend a night or so in the hospital before being released with a major headache. Dr. Wayne will be another casualty )
(TX Road)
Dr. Zanasiu was grappling with one of the men, whom he had disarmed but lost his flashlight in the process. He quickly broke free by kneeing the man in the groin several times. He then kicked the man in the knee, bending it backwards with a sickening crack. The man collapsed to the ground hollering in pain and clutching his injured knee. The former Pelvanida biologist finished the man off with a vicious kick to the head.
Never seen that side of James before. Sharon thought. She blocked another swipe from the baton wielding man. Suddenly, she felt an intense pain in her head. The man had actually grabbed hold of one of her ears - despite the fact that she had flattened them back to avoid this. She elbowed her attacker in the stomach, and then punched him with the wrench she had in her hand, causing him to stagger back. Suddenly, she saw someone move behind him with a baton raised. "James! Watch-"
Sharon was cut off as the man slammed his baton into her ribs. In a fit of rage and pain, she seized the man's arm and disarmed him with a quick bite to his hand, causing him to drop the baton. She kicked the baton aside and finished the man off with a powerful swing of her crescent wrench.
When that was over she clutched her ribs as they burned from the painful blow she received seconds ago. "F---!"
-----------------------------------------
Dr. Zanasiu turned around only to get knocked to the ground by a powerful blow. The man quickly pinned him and raised his baton. He blocked the first blow with his left arm. He screamed as the painful impact landed and his arm went numb. Thinking quickly, he drew his legs up under his body and drove them into the man's chest with as much force as possible. The man coughed as all the air was driven from his body, forcing him to loosen his grip.
The Pelvandia scientist then threw a vicious straight punch with his good arm into the guard's face, breaking his nose and causing him to yelp. He then tried to stand up but the guard was too strong.
"Help!" he shouted.
"Shut up!" the guard snarled, whacking Dr. Zanasiu in the shoulder with his baton. The scientist swore as his entire right arm went numb from the blow.
-----------------------------------------
Spc. Crota stopped and glared at Zachary. "Hey ass----, Alfred just got knocked out, you wanna leave him behind? You're damn lucky you're not part of the US Army, else you'd get court-martialed!"
"Crota, just shut up for now," Neville said, stepping out of the other SUV. In his hand was a fire extinguisher. He looked around and saw Gustave being set upon by two titanic guards. He knew that Gustave possessed titanic strength but even he was not capable of taking on two super-strong anthros. He also looked at Zachary who was much more powerfully built than he was. "Zach! Help Gustave! I'll deal with the others!"
Zachary looked at the three combatants with some trepedition. Nevertheless, he swallowed his fear and got his tire iron ready.
-----------------------------------------
A few minutes after Spc. Crota's conversation with Neville and Zachary, he found Sgt. Master's unconscious form. The man who had knocked him out was nowhere to be found.
He then noticed one of them - in a bit of irony, a Boa Constrictor - had circled around and was trying to get into the SUV where Shelton was hiding; thanks to his low profile, he had been overlooked by the other combatants. The Rattlesnake swore and slithered as fast as he could towards the SUV.
-----------------------------------------
Gustave, meanwhile, was engaged in a absolutely vicious two-on-one battle with the guards - a Rhino and a Bison. Two smaller figures near him indicated that he had already killed two of the guards attacking him.
One of the guards swung a wooden baton at his head. Gustave caught it in his mouth and snapped it like a toothpick.
A wound on his chest - caused by the Rhino's horn - steadily dripped blood but he paid it no heed as he bit down on the guards arm. Some of his teeth came loose as the guard's massive fist crashed into his jaw.
-----------------------------------------
Dr. Bailey and Dr. Wayne were watching the battle from their SUVs.
"Erm, shouldn't we help them?" Dr. Wayne asked. Even though she had fought against the zombies at Southport, she was still reluctant to jump into the fray. Even if she knew that the others would do the same for her.

(Washington DC Base)
O'Neill bolted from the reactor silo. He kept the glow stick attached to his shotgun as he looked around.
He then spotted a sign that read "Aux Control" room. Granted, the sign was lying on the floor but he assumed that it was in the right place.
"The aux control room is down this hall," he said. He then ran down the hall with his shotgun at the ready.
The forum should now be back up and running. Please don't hesitate to let us admins know if you run into any issues.
