The Sky Reddens CYOA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You decide that the best thing to do is head inside your house. You start to wonder what happened to your parents.
You knock on the door. No one answers.

“Dad?! Mom?! Its me, your one and only child!” you shout into the house.
The door is unlocked and soon creaks open. You, your party, and the army head inside, not knowing who opened it.
The door closes. The lights are turned on. The light illuminates your Dad and several neighbors.

“Welcome home, son. I was worried sick about you.”

He turns to the army you made. “I see that you have brought an army with you. Impressive.”

You speak out, “Where is Mom?”

“She’s at Raccoon Hospital, of course. I hope she’s alright.” your Dad answers back, heading to his room.
The faint glow of the light makes your house eerie. You notice that your Dad doesn’t seem too good; Even during a zombie invasion, you’d expect your Dad to welcome you with his regular jolly smile. All that has change, however.
Your Dad comes back and brings out his collection of guns, full with ammo.

“Take any gun, son.” your Dad whispers gently.

You decide to take the shotgun he had.

Clare takes an AK-47. She always wanted one, you remember.

Ashley took a Golden Eagle pistol. You guess its fair since she has nothing for close combat.

All of you gain additional ammo

You tell Dad your stories, and he is rather impressed. “Wow. I never knew my son could survive this plague we have…”

However, the screams from the other house seems to be coming closer. And closer. To the point that you notice it was not just one scream- its many screams.

The backdoor seems to be banging.

“They’re here.”

You
A) Open the back door and fight the zombies.
B) Open the front door and go to the back and fight the zombies.
C) Wait for the zombies in the room

Remember that you have an small but useful army.

We made this on etherpad, which is totally awesomeeee. lololololol
I MADE IT 😮
YOU JUST KEEP WHIPPING ME yeh

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You decide to open the back door and fight the zombies. Signaling everyone of you plan with a simple finger motion, you move towards the back door. The rest of your army lies behind you, waiting for the right moment.

As your hand reaches towards the doorknob, Clare pushes it away. You look at her. She glares at you, and points her shotgun at the door with her right hand. She shoots with a cracking motion of her wrist, creating a loud echo and causing a gaping hole to appear in the door. Through it, you could see a horde of fresh zombies hazard sprinting towards the door, some distance away. She smirks as she saunters back to her position beside the china dresser.

“Rifles up!” Agent O. Everyone in the room points their rifles at the door. You back off slowly, away from the door, brandishing your shotgun, only slightly disappointed.

“When I say shoot, shoot!” Agent O yells again. You army waits in silence as the horse approaches, closer and closer, their wretched screams echoing across the room, hitting the Survivors from all sides. It seemed to be coming from everywhere. It was as if it was in the back of your head, knowing, scratching at you. You struggled to handle the immense pitch of the noise.

An explosion. You ears blow out. All you hear is static. Your vision turns gray, you begin to stumble. The army begins to yell.

“SHOO-” Oliver’s voice was strangled as he flew backwards, the slimy, pink remains of a Smoker’s tongue covering his mouth and wrapping about his built frame. His black service hat fell over, he mumbled something unintelligible as he was dragged away.(-5%) As he is dragged into an alleyway far down the street (-10%), another small Horde chases after him, attacking him with their limp fists and feets. (-50%) The Smoker then proceeds to beat Oliver with his pointed claws, raking at his shoulders. (-20%)

“Oliver!” Agent D yells as he scrambled and tripped (-1%) out of the huge chasm that was once a door. The screaming continues as Dan runs through the smoke of the night after his partner. You begin to run though the hole in the wall when a Boomer jumps down from the roof and vomits, the puke landing all over the group (All members of party: -3%). Surprised, you fly backwards into a wall, hitting your back as your knees crumple. (-9%) The screaming of the night becomes incessantly louder, never stopping, As the confused party takes aim at the Boomer, the back door flies open and the horde rushes in, the zombies fixating on their closest targets. Your Dad is knocked down by a group of 4 blood-reddened, level 2 zombies. A soldier is brutally ripped apart as Hunter upon Hunter barrel into the room, emitting piercing cries. (-1 soldier) You are still blinded by the Boomer’s bile, shooting your shotgun randomly. The epic sound of flashing gunfire fills the night, almost in tune with the howls of the zombie attack.

Clare and 2 other soldiers manage to escape from the house, and their AK47s go spraying into the dark void, shooting above normal head height in order to avoid their comrades. Ashley is thrown against the staircase (-8%) and valiantly tries to fend off 5 zombies with her Golden Eagle. (-12%) A party member tries to help her by shooting his MP5 into the crowd, a raging Hunter that pounces onto his chest and begins to tear away at his flesh, promptly silencing him (-19%). Two party members successfully shove off the zombies from your Dad’s backside, he lays on the floor, lifeless. You manage to get up and you aim your shotgun at a group of zombies attacking a soldier, taking all five down in 2 deft shots.

A thirsty Hunter pounces upon another soldier, the Hunter’s rabid claws contorting deep into the man’s flesh (-21%). You shove him off and shoot at him, the Hunter nimbly dodges and jump onto the wall of the room. You edge closer to him. His head raises, revealing black, dead eyes, a bloody mouth, and with a shriek he jumps on top of you (-2%). He claws rise above you and begin to mutilate your chest, causing you to begin bleeding (-24%). With a single pistol shot from the soldier on the floor, the Hunter is startled, his attacks ceasing. Taking the opportunity, you reach down to your belt. As the Hunter raises his claws again, you lift your arm, the shining butcher knife in your hand, and you slice the Hunter in its side. Screeching, he lowers his arms, pushing your hand away, you push upwards with your body and lunge your arm at him. With a quiet swoop, you disfigure the Hunter’s head, hood and all, using your cleaver. The dead zombie’s body falls on top of you, it’s neck slowly spurting blood. You shove it to your side and stand up, brushing the blood and the Hunter’s head off of you, while putting away your knife and picking up your shotgun.

As another female party member helps the bleeding soldier, you rush over to Ashley. She is badly bruised, amidst all the noise and yelling, you notice a deep cut about her chest that did not stop expanding. She looking at you with deep, sapphire eyes, you could not feel more pity. She motioned away from her with one hand, reaching her medical kit with her other hand.

“G-g-get-t..Ol-ol-oli-ve-oliver..” she mumbled as she fidgeted with her medical kit. There were no zombies around, although as one moved towards you and you swiftly incapacitated it’s leg with a finger swipe on the shotgun. It’s body fell to the floor in front of you. The horde’s attention was focused on the main living room. Encumbered by your own bleeding ears, you could barely hear her. She motioned again with her Golden Eagle in her left hand, towards the hole. Finally comprehending her agitation, you moved away from her, running into the dark void, moving towards the path that Agent D had run when he left. Clare yelled after you, but it was incomprehensible. You ran and ran, the feeble lampposts dimly lighting the path in front of you. You click on your flashlight and sprinted, your dangling pistols swaying with the motion of your body at your belt. The sky appears crimson, but your distracted mind does not register this fact.

You finally reach an alleyway where you see Agent D attempting to carry Agent O, the latter an unconscious bloody mess on the floor. Beside him lay a Smoker, it’s eyes and stomach gorged out. Agent D explains to you how he was forced to fight off an entire small army of the Horde, trying to get to Agent O (-32%).

The street was quiet, the screams distant, seemingly calm otherwise.

You:
A) Help Dan by picking up Oliver’s legs and proceeding to Dan’s intended destination.
B) Try to convince Dan to abandon his close-to-death partner.
C) Guard the area while Dan attempts again.
D) Return to the house.
E) Search the area for something of value/assistance, letting your guard down.

EDIT: I actually didn’t. :/
Pains gave me the project on a rush two nights ago and therefore I couldn’t really pull my thoughts together on what the CYOA actually meant. I sort of, ran through this. xD I really wanted to describe the Hunter scene in more depth, and the whole Smoker/Horde thing disappointed me. D:

[dee32693]

*throws bucket of cold water on thread*

[SirPainsalot]

There’s a new system. I’ll explain it in the first post.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You decide to help Dan by moving over to Oliver’s legs. Dan gives a small smile at your kind deed. (Trust: 20+) Placing your shotgun in the holster on your back, you lift his legs. He is surprisingly heavy for a mustachioed man. Dan signals you, and on the count of three, you lift upwards.

Dan leads you back into the house where you fought. You find several injured men and women, but otherwise fine. The soft moans let those who seemed dead alive.

The agent drops the bloodied man in front of Ashley. The medic was shocked when she saw Oliver. However, she knew she must act quickly, so she took out her medic kit and began her operation on Oliver. (This will take 3 turns and 3 medical kits; be sure to protect her!)

Both you and Agent D sigh in relief for Oliver.
The house fell with an sudden eerie quiet when you saw your Dad’s bloodied corpse. You shed a tear and kneel down to him, saying, “May you… rest in peace.”
A shout broke up your train of thought.

Two soldiers are having an argument. About what, you may ask?

Well. The fact that they want to know who has redder eyes.

When you investigate the two men, you noticed that one has glowing red eyes, however most of the soldiers agree with him since he’s well-known.
On the other hand, the other man seems to have only a small hint of red, but there are barely any soldiers backing him up.
A fight should be starting any moment.
An agonizing groan is heard from behind you.

You:

A) Go with the glowing-red-eyed man!
B) Go with the loser!
C) Ignore.
D) Try to settle the fight, although it could prove useless.
E) Ignore and investigate the groan.
