Chapter 9
For One Night Only


Princess stopped the group from entering the building, she was closest to the door and was horrified to see that the Entrance Plaza of Tibb Towers was full of zombies.

'What are we going to do now? Are there any other ways to get out of here?' Asked Iceman.

'There's the docks underneath the parking complex but I'm not sure if the boats are still there, We've only got an hour left before the bombs drop and If we go to the docks and there's no boats then we won't have enough time to make it to the helipad' Stated Lauren. 'It's your choice guys.'

'We'll never make it through those zombies'
'The docks are safer'

'If there's no boats though we're dead anyway'

GypsyGoth cleared her throat. 'Fate has handed us two cards, but I believe we should go through the towers. There's danger yes but as long as we work as a team we shall live to tell the tale....Plus I'm very good at Left 4 Dead so this should be easy.'

The team nodded in agreement.

'How are we going to defend ourselves? Golf clubs are good for one or two zombies but we need something bigger for that crowd.' Said Lemonjam.

Andy and Iceman looked at each other and smiled, they moved to the trunk of the van and brought out two boxes, the threw them down at the group's feet. The boxes cracked open to reveal swords and guns.

'Compliments of the Brotherhood'

The survivors burst into the Plaza, they were led by Andy, Iceman, Gypsygoth and Princess who sliced away at the zombies with their swords and chainsaw respectively. The others followed shooting at anything that survived the first wave's attack while Twilight brought up the rear with some very well aimed grenades. It wasn't long before they reached the elevator but someone was missing...

'Twilight!' Cried out Mark.

She was surrounded but she was managing to dodge and weave through their attacks. She threw down well timed grenades that thinned out the group of zombies but there were still too many. Lauren pressed the elevator button which resulted in a loud drone as the elevator descended, the zombies turned from Twilight and headed towards the group. They would have been surely doomed if it wasn't for the angelic voice that enshrouded the plaza, drowning out the drone of the elevator. Twilight was singing to distract the zombies from the group and it was working. Hundreds of zombies charged towards her, she ran towards an open door and lead the zombies away. However there were still quite a number of zombies left in the plaza and without Twilight they started to move towards the group once more. Luckily at that moment the lift had fully descended and the group ran into it.

They were relieved to be safe for the moment but something was wrong....Andy was still in the Plaza! They banged on the windows of the lift trying to grab his attention but Andy knew what he was doing. The lift was slow and was made of glass panels, the zombies would have dragged them from the lift if someone didn't distract them. Andy raised his sword and ran at the zombies, he didn't mind sacrificing his life to save others. He was a knight afterall, brave and honorable. Although he was going to die he was going to make sure that he'd take as many zombies as he could with him.


Twilight was running through the dark corridors of Tibb towers with belt of grenades in one hand and her Armani heels in the other. As she ran she threw grenades behind her to stall the zombies but the hoard seemed never ending. She span around quickly and threw her Armani heels at the zombies, her aim was perfect and two zombies fell with heels lodged in their eyes (Let it never be said that fashion can't save a life).

She ran into a side door and shut it behind her, she felt the zombies hammering the door and turned around to find that she was in a laboratory, and it was a dead end. Twilight looked around desperately but there was no way out and the zombies hands had smashed through the window of the door. She looked at the belt to see a solitary grenade left. She sighed, there was nothing she could do now...but then she noticed something. She ran through the lab turning on all the Bunsen burners. People thought she was stupid but she was far from it, for she at least knew her basic science, that fire and gas does not mix. The zombies smashed through the door and charged at her, she threw the grenade.

The next few seconds seemed go in slow motion for her, as she saw the grenade fly towards the zombies. She though about what fame was and what she achieved, anyone famous would tell you that the key to it all was to go out with a bang and leave them wanting more. Twilight smiled as she knew she achieved both with flying colours.

The explosion ripped through the ground floor of the towers, decimating all the zombies. The group felt the building shake but remained silent and solemn. They were sad but thankful for Twilight and Andy's sacrifice for their combined efforts had saved the group. The lift was nearing it's stop and the group prepared for what lay ahead, they still had over half way to go and time was not on their side.
