Buddy winces again his reads bleeding some. "Run..." He chokes. "Run before its to late..." More lickers come from the ruble now hissing at the people. Buddy was doubled over on the ground crying out every now and then. More of the monsters were coming from the roofs, jumping from building to building. ' I have to stop! No more people have to die!' he thinks to himself

What the hell? Ryder stumbled back as he saw lickers appear around the area. Holy ******... They were contained... Were. Now they were not. Geez, this would lighten up the nigh!
He quickly unsheathed his swords, which were light and sharp. He was low on bullets and ammo, so he didn't really want to use any of his guns. He crouched, waiting for the perfect time to start kicking some ass... Well, if they had butts to begin with, that is.

Michael closed his eyes. ******it. He tried helping someone and now he was with a bunch of zombie alien mutants
"Hey lady, get Joe. We're busting this joint." He saw a gleam of light to his right. Knives? He aimed his gun there and quickly shot off a round. A figure jumped out from behind the building.

Ryder had seen Michael aim the gun his way and barely missed the multiple bullets fired at him. Geeez! Where did he get weapons? Don't underestimate him. The lickers had also turned his way.
"Thanks, you little ******bag." He muttered.

Buddy shakenly gets to his feet his eye bleeding heavily. "Get-away-from-here! You-can't-fight-them..." His eyes close, then open looking forward again almost normal. "I warned you." The lickers hiss madly crawling closer to the people their tongues out in the air ready to strike. Buddy leans on a pile of rubish, coughing. "Wait my pets, don't hurt them yet...go kill the infected, all of them you can find them come back to kill the humans.." He says trying to get them to listen. The lickers look at him hissing to one another before crawling away to do as told. Buddy's eyes return to normal blood running down his face. He sways some before falling to his knees panting.

Caroline ran over to Buddy. "Buddy! What about Luis and Leon? Doug?" She fought a wave of hysteria down. Not now. "Can't we do something to help?" She asked, nearly pleading.

"Joe, c'mon." Michael walked over to the man and looked at him levelly. "That guy isn't kidding. We gotta get outta here." The figure from the shadows was standing still, calculating the scene.

Ryder almost sighed. The older guy was right. The Lickers were insanely powerful and agile. He'd been studying them, but all of the information led to saying they were nearly indestructible.
"Michael..." He quietly said and then turned his head to the other man with the bloody face. Budloh? Buddy... Buddy, yes.

Buddy shakes his head. "I'll lead the beast away again if they get too close...we need to get back though...it's not safe here." Buddy was shaking with fear not knowing what he had done.

Jojo was as white as a sheet with fear. "O-ok..." He whispers his body shaking insanely.

"But..." You'll be good as dead, she miserably thought. "Can't you just... Tell them to leave us alone?" Probably not. What would the others say if she returned without him?

"Hey Joe, calm down a bit." Michael told him, putting his hands on Jojo's shoulders. :Hey, you got a place to help this guy?" he asked, looking at the woman.

Buddy looks up at her, a sad look on his face. "I do t know what I just did, it just seemed to run by like a dream. One moment I was here fighting three the next I was not...I don't know how else to explaine it." He stands slowly a bit shaky. "Help me get back to the house, I'll take it up with Doug and ask her what I should do, maybe she will know."

Jojo puts his hands on his head. "No, no, no! I don't want to go back with them! Jojo wants a safe place!

(Oops.)

"Sure. Yeah, Doug. She... Can help." Caroline nervously looked at Buddy. He looked okay, besides his bleeding eyes. "Your eyes, can you see still?" She asked.

"Hey, you're talking in third person. You going nuts?" Of course the man actually could be getting crazy. Michael felt almost happy he didn't sound loony... Screw it. He was a murderer. A creepy kid obsessed with chemicals and crap.

"Hey, hold it.... Buddy." Ryder said, walking to him. "I know you from somewhere." He said. "Do you know this kid?" He pointed to Michael, who stared at Ryder in the eye. What eyes.... Geez.

Buddy looks at the man. "You know me?" He asks trying to wipe the blood away. "I can see."

Jojo holds his head tighter. "I don't like this! Make it go away! Make it go away."
