Derek's Story

[Garfsan]

The RP i was in i wanted to finish Derek's dream. But didn't have the time to finish it due to the thread going the way of the dodo. So i thought I'd finish it somewhere but don't know where to. So I'm gonna do it here and if its in the wrong spot I apologize in advance. Also theres gonna be alot to read as well so i may split it into to a few parts.

So here we go.

Last time Derek was told the CIA was involved heres the link to the last part of the Story. http://www.left4dead411.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10176&page=23

A quick catch up is they have been sent to a facility in a middle eastern country to fulfill a mission. However the full details are shrouded:

"LT!?" Derek yelled "What the hell did he mean by CIA?! What do they have to do with this?"
She was quiet, and her mind seemed to be somewhere else.

"LT we gotta go" Jackson interrupted "We got some foot mobiles incoming" Jackson crouched down next to the door and readied his MK46 there was a fierce determination across his face.

Lee reloaded his shotgun with a grimace across his face as blood trickled down his forehead.
"Hey you OK Lee?" Derek asked moving over next to him
"Nah Staff I'm good, just a graze" He wiped the blood from his head and pumped his shotgun on his Masterkey checking the chamber.

"Staff" the Lt whispered "I'm sorry about Alex I really am" she swallowed hard her eyes welling up "She just got shot to shit from nowhere and we couldn't do anything..." she trailed off as Jackson started to wave at the doors where the enemy was coming from.

"STAFF. LT! C'mon lets get rollin'!" He bellowed his voice echoing throughout the room.
"LT!" Derek yelled "This is your damn mission!" He stepped up next to her right in her face "C'mon goddammit! Do it for Alex!"

Derek noticed the LT glance at him and then away again as she stowed her rifle and drew a grenade from her hip pack. "Staff get the guys ready" she wiped her face of tears "Were gonna get this done and done right"

She moved to a crouch next to Jackson and Derek moved back to the side of Lee. Jackson signaled six incoming mobiles and they were armed to the teeth by the look in his eyes.

In a flash Lee pounded the door switch as the LT tossed a ready grenade through the doors.

After a few tense seconds gunfire slammed against what little cover they had, debris and flashes dancing around the room as they moved away from the doors.

There was a large hissing noise followed by several gut wrenching screams. Jackson stepped out and let of a long burst down the corridor, anger fueling his actions as he continued to suppress the group.

The Lt readied her rifle again and fired off a few bursts as Jackson stepped back into reload. As he did this Lee fired also.

Derek took this opportunity to scope out the situation, moving around Lee he moved to the back of the Lt glancing at the group ahead. They were scattered and two of them were lay burnt from the White phosphorous that the LT had thrown and two more were being dragged wounded to a side door. Derek crouched down next to the LT and patted her on the shoulder. In a flash she sprinted to where Derek was as Lee and Jackson lay down covering fire.

Something black bounced a few feet in front of Derek. He reacted on instinct more than anything. Grabbing Jackson he hauled him forward yelling at the others to move forward.

Rolling around the corner several rounds slammed against Derek's chest winding him as he sprawled to the floor.

There was a loud explosion as a large blast wave sent him forward several feet and rocked the very core of his being.

Everything went blurry.. the rooms ahead all obscured and out of focus. He felt pain in every inch of his being as he crawled forward to what seemed like a door. He couldn't hear or see the others as he somehow made it to a door.

Rounds slammed against the door frame as he sprawled in a quick as he could muster.

He blacked out for a second visions of his family and Amy his girlfriend flashed before him and then of Alex's smiling face as it was shattered.

"JACKSON!" He coughed scurrying to his knees "YOU OK?" he coughed again debris and dust had filled his lungs, blood was clouding his vision and his hearing was whiny and high pitched from being so close to the blast.

"JACKSON!!" he coughed again spitting blood onto the carpet he was staring at, he looked up at the door and a large blurry figure staggered in. He could make out voices but they were far away.

"JACKSON! YOU ASSHOLE ANSWER ME!!!"

[SlainPwner666]

Sounds good man, I'm gonna be following this.

[Garfsan]

Derek couldn't see hardly, and the figure in front of him resembled Jackson but he couldn't be sure.

"Jackson that you?" he let out a muffled cough and tried to get his spinning head back together.

"Hey c'mon man answer me" He noticed that the tall figure wasn't moving and started to wobble.

"Jackson?" There was a loud piercing noise that snapped Derek back to his senses as something hit his face.

"Fuck.." Derek clawed at his face and saw blood all over his hands. The man in front of him lurched forward as another gunshot rang out followed by two more.

Derek realized that Jackson had been shot as he fell, seemingly in slow motion and hit the ground with a thump the dull lighting that filled the room just managed to show Jackson's shocked and drained features. Derek felt something snap in the back of his mind.

In seething rage Derek aimed at the door where another figure stood nonchalantly reloading his weapon, a look of surprise spread over his face as the black carapace armoured man fumbled about with his mag, trying to load it into his weapon. Derek held down the trigger until it clicked heavily and was burning hot in his weary hands.

Slowly the figure slumped to the floor as blood gushed from many wounds and the severed remains of his neck.

Derek stood to his feet shakily and moved over to where Jackson lay motionless. He was lying in a pool of his own blood and there were several large holes in his lower back. Derek fell to one knee coughing and checked for a pulse.

"No" Derek whispered "NO!!" he stood up and stood out in the corridor where the grenade had gone off. He could see the big blast mark where the grenade had gone off and the crumpled heap of Lee next to it. He couldn't see the Lt.

He stumbled his way over to Lee, knelt down and felt for a pulse. He was still alive and somehow his pulse was strong.

He checked for wounds and noticed that the gashes across his face and holes in him from the firefight were slowly closing and reknitting skin.

"What the--"
"DEREK!" He turned to see the Lt running towards him, herself looking weary and battle torn but again seemingly OK.

"Oh my god Derek" she grasped him tightly squeezing hard as Derek winced in pain slightly "I thought you were dead!" Derek looked over to Jackson and he saw the expression on the Lt change. He was empty and vacant and she knew why.

"Oh my god.." She whispered burying her head in his shoulder, holding him tight.

"Lt" Derek muttered quietly "Lets get going." She let go of him reluctantly and moved over to where Jackson lay, she had a syringe in her hand.

"Hey whats that?" Derek asked puzzled "What are you doing?"

"Notes say that if you catch em before there brain is dead then they can be revived. So this means we can save him"

Derek thought back to Alex. She had been dead at least fifteen minutes

"Alex.." he muttered, the Lt stopped briefly and looked at Derek standing there staring at the floor.

"I'm sorry hun" She whispered gently.

Derek was feeling the pain of losing a good soldier and an even better and close friend. He had known Alex since she had joined the Unit and even congratulated her when she beat his time on the room clearance and infiltration tests. Alex was one of the best recon specialists Derek had known, and also one of the kindest sweetest souls you could ever know.

He paused wiping blood from his face, reaching into his side pack for a smoke. Slowly he lit it and took a long drag on it.

"Was gonna quit for you Alex.." he muttered "Don't care anymore.."

He took another long drag and stubbed it out on his arm, sticking it in his case he checked Lee over.

He was fully healed miraculously and was stirring slowly.

"Good to see you my friend" Derek smiled "Back with the living I see."

"Has anyone ever told you you're not the best face to look at?" Lee managed a chuckle "Hell your so damn ugly I'm happy to see you" Derek laughed slapping him on the back helping him up. "Thanks Staff" Lee shook Derek's hand firmly "Thanks for not letting me go"

"OHHH YEAH BITCHES!" Jackson roared, Derek and Lee turning to face him "Jackson is back ladies."

Derek laughed and moved over to shake his hand. At that moment a gut wrenching screech echoed throughout the facility which dropped the mood back to the tense fear that was evident in them before.

"Back in formation were moving out." Lt moved over to Derek and jabbed the syringe in his arm "This will get you back 100%" She smiled patting him on the back.

Derek looked ahead and his vision focused and became clearer, his pain and aches drifted away and the cuts and bruises vanished that were all over him.

He turned to thank the Lt but noticed she was gone.

"Must be going to try Alex" Derek whispered to himself. A scream snapped his attention back to the matter at hand. He turned to face where the noise came from. Ahead was several more researchers but they were different.

They moved at a frightening pace, much faster than they should.

Derek looked down the scope of his MP5, he could see the features of one as it screamed towards them.

"Oh god.." Derek stuttered

"What?" Lee hissed "What is it?"

"Ready your guns guys" he dropped to a crouch as Jackson and Lee readied there and got into position.

"We got incoming hostiles"

Continuing the story:

The group ahead of them charged them with a vicious air about them. They were screeching and flailing wildly and shouting incomprehensible babble as well. As they loomed closer Derek could make out that they were not entirely themselves.

"What do we do Staff?" Lee asked nervously "Shoot or what?" One lone one screamed from around the corner and tried to grapple Jackson. He replied with a right hook to his face sending him reeling.

"Well theres your answer boyo!" Jackson drew his M1911A1 and fired a single shot splitting the mans skull sending him straight to the floor. "They aint themselves Staff, we gotta waste em"

Derek looked for the order from the Lt as she returned to the group hand held tight on the syringe, as the large group loomed ever closer now about 20 feet away.

"Lt?" Derek asked, she seemed to be lost in thought with something "LT?!" Derek crouched down ready to fire.

"Men!" he roared "The Lt is unable to function and I am taking command!"

Derek readied his MP5 as he felt a hand smack the back of his head

"OPEN FIRE!" She roared with a commanding and powerful voice

"YEAAAH!" Jackson replied as he mowed down the approaching group with controlled fire. "This shits just like some cheesy sci-fi movie bro! And we gotta not do what they do in those movies! I ain't dying bro! And I aint running to the roof or the basement! And thank god we don't have a dumb blonde!"

Derek chuckled as he heard Jackson rabble on about this, and smiled thinking he had already technically died. But didn't want to kill his buzz.

Slowly the group ahead thinned as Jackson continued to kill them at a fair distance of around hundred feet. He seemed to be enjoying himself when several more burst from rooms to the left right next to him.

"SHIT!" he yelped as he turned to face them slinging his MK46 on his back and fighting them off hand to hand. Derek kept focus on the front group with Lee and the LT as Jackson broke the attack from the left.

"We need to get out of here!" the Lt yelled "I just got orders from HQ!"

"HQ?!" Lee yelled "I didn't think they cared!"

"Yeah baby!" Jackson replied while smashing another crazed scientists head in with his heavy boot "You'd think they would care!" he paused to uppercut another

"Whys that?" the Lt replied as she threw down a burst of fire killing five more.

"Cuz were damn Unstoppable sister!"

Derek glanced back at the Lt and could see the smile that spread across her face, she moved to a crouch and fired on the group ahead, making a dent in the group attacking them.

Lee shouted in panic as something pounced on him out of nowhere, and began to try and tear at him with its sharp claw like hands. Lee fumbled about with him at first but soon was blocking each of his blows with the armoured forearms.

Derek moved up and kicked the man off of Lee smashing his boot hard against the jaw of the man. He yelped loudly and reeled heavy as it slammed against the wall struggling to get to his feet. Derek fired a burst at the man hitting in the midsection and back of the neck. It yelped one last time and slumped to a heap.

"What the hell was that?" Lee asked getting to his feet "He tried to rip my eyes out!"

"We'll find out later we gotta move" Hissed the LT

"Which way?" Derek asked as he reloaded. She pointed to the double doors as the far end of the corridor past the sea of bodies and gore.

"That way" She pulled back the bolt on her G36 the noise echoing through the now quiet halls.

(First off sorry for double post. I felt i needed to do this on separate one)

Derek moved forward on point with Jackson moving at the rear, Lee and the Lt were in the middle and moved as silently as each other.

He could tell that everyone was weary, not from the combat but from the fact that they had lost a teammate and discovered the miracle drug of the century nay the millennium and also that CIA kill teams were dispatched to do what they were only use it for the opposite reason.

Derek signaled the group to stop as he came up the end of the seemingly never ending corridor. Ahead slumped near the door was a researcher. Lee and the Lt watched the rear as he moved forward, drawing his Glock and clipping his MP5 to the front of his vest.

As he got closer he could see that the man had been shot, and was bleeding from several smaller gashes across his body and showed signs of being pummeled by many attackers.

Derek crouched down next to him as Jackson covered him, leveling the mans head with his iron sights.

"Wonder if he's still alive..." as the last of those words left Derek's lips the researcher suddenly snapped his focus onto Derek and grabbed his arm.

"YOU HAVE TO STOP THEM!" he yelled his eyes wide open and slightly bloody. "Please soldiers stop them.."

"Sir." Derek spoke in a low tone "What happened here?" The man sat up straight from the slump he was in and released grip on his arm.

"Well.." he cleared his throat and Derek got a good look at him.

He was around his mid thirties, middle Eastern origin possibly from Iran, his almond face showed he wasn't totally from Iran and his accent was a mix of English and the usual tone Arab men speak in. His long greasy black hair tied back with cowlicks stained through with sick blood and sweat. He looked like hell. He rubbed his face with his hands and coughed blood up.

"OK." he spoke clearly and with surprising strength "Two days ago we got reports that an armed group had been slaughtering nearby villages for information on this place" Derek nodded and motioned for him to continue "Well they found it because someone was beaten to an inch of his life...then murdered with the rest of the villages. They were ruthless and cowardly men." he spat on the floor anger flared up in his face and eyes "I wish they would meet their god for judgment he would not give them the heaven they think they deserve."

He shifted up slightly reaching into his lab coat which was stained a shade of red with his blood and that of others no doubt. He pulled out a PDA and handed it to Derek. "All you need is on there. This PDA has the best security on it and no one can hack it. However I know you know the password Derek.."

"Woah" Jackson interrupted "How'd you know his name?!" Derek motioned for him to be quiet while focusing on the man, Jackson huffed and watched the angle he was given.

He coughed again and the strength seemed to drain from him. "Well Derek the CIA found out about the Regen formula, and they wanted to see how it could be used as a weapon, a Biological weapon." he coughed again this time more violently and the life drained from his face as he went a ghostly pale "Derek" his words were short and lacking the energy they had but mere moments ago "They succeeded.... in finding the key... to mutate it into a virus...and they plan... on testing it...." he lost consciousness for second and then snapped back to.

"Hey we have some of the cure all, do you wan--" Derek spoke softly

"No.." he replied interrupting Derek "My time on this earth is coming to and end.. and I must atone for my sins in hell" he reached into his other jacket pocket pulling out a small pocket pistol

"hey hey!" Derek hissed "What do you think you're doing?!" he raised his pistol as the young man put the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.

The silence was ruined by the loud crack of the gun going off. He died instantly as it smashed through his skull and spread the mans brains all over the wall behind him.

"No.." Derek wiped some of the mans gore off his face "NO! NO! NO! NO!!" he started to phase out freaked out by what the man had just done.

"Ahh shit" Jackson spat "Staff bro calm down!" he moved over to him and grabbing him by the shoulders stared at him in the face.

"STAFF!" he yelled his words not getting through "STAFF C'MO--" before he could finish his sentence Derek had broken free and starting running through the double doors ahead.

He kept running ignoring the shouts behind him. He held tight onto the PDA in his hand and kept running.

He moved through a lab area, onto a another lab area through a large test chamber and then pens and crashed his way through the double doors leading out into the desert.

The light was blinding as he fell to his knees, as his lungs filled with sand and grit. His eyes focused to the intense light and he couldn't help but yell at the top of his lungs staring at the sky above him.
