ContĄŠ
The fight off the island is a hard road traveled. The
little band of freedom fighters venture into the basement of the
office building that the mysterious Kim ran into. The first few
hallways and rooms were without incident, and the gang even found
one of two armories stocked with various law enforcement items, to
include much needed body armor.
However, just after they left the armory and as they
entered the hallway shots rang out and bullets whizzed by. Thinking
that the shooters were friendlies, the gang attempted to communicate
with them, but their only replies were more bullets. The zombie
soldiers tossed a smoke grenade into the hall and Demon Hell Ride
and the kids decided that it was safe to cross the hallway to the
other side, but midway Demon Hell Ride was shot through the smoke.
The zombies had used a multi-optics helmetĄŻs thermo imager
to zero in on Demon as he crossed. Not long after that the gang
realized that the zombies had preformed a flanking maneuver and came
at them from the side and front. Young Lee was cut down quickly and
fell to the floor unconscious, and Demon Hell Ride also nearly lost
his life in the fray.
Grease Monkey Mel took the battle to the zombies and killed
two at point blank range in her NORAD bug armor. She was assisted,
when from behind an extremely short older Japanese woman using her
martial arts training killed one of the zombies. Kazumi, a member of
the Fighting Tigers out of Kong-nung, had also been ambushed with
her group of freedom fighters, but managed to escape capture, but
was lurking in the darkness trying to assess a way to save her
friends.
Once the zombies were all killed in this skirmish, the gang
quickly disposed of the bodies, grabbed their wounded, and retreated
to the armory. There they held the fort until they could mend their
wounds psionically, and devise a plan of attack.

Once healed they ventured back out into the basement and
conducted a room-to-room search for Mr. Kim. Along the way they
encountered army ants and other zombies. Upon discovering Mr. Kim,
they tried to make speak to him as to why he betrayed them, and he
only offered them the barrel of his K2 assault rifle. Mel blasted
him the head with an energy weapon knocking him out cold, but not
killing him.
In the security room where the gang found Mr. Kim, they
used the cameras to locate the brig, where other zombies and a Stink
Bug were creating more zombies from their captured foe. Now the
gangs pressed forward in hopes of saving KazumiĄŻs friends, but were
more intent of destroying the Stink Bug.
Upon locating the brig they also found that the enemy and
itĄŻs prey were locked behind a cell door. They could only see two of
the zombies and attempted to try knockout gas on the others hiding.
Shots were exchanged and so were grenades from both sides. Finally,
unsure if the zombies were affected by the gas or not, they stormed
the cell in pursuit of their elusive bug.
Demon Hell Ride was the first one in the room and the first
one out, as he was hit in the face by the Stink BugĄŻs anti-human
spray as it hid adhering the ceiling. The sticky goo caused Demon
Hell Ride to instantly vomit and tear up. With the stench to
powerful for him to take, he ran stripping off his clothes like a
made man down the hallways until he found the showers.
Before the gang could locate and kill the Stink Bug, it had
transformed itself into electrical energy and leaped into a hard-
line into safety. Mel was enraged, but soon regained composure. Two
of the three prisoners were already impregnated with the grub, and
the gang had no other choice but to put them out of their misery.
The third, Pak In-su, was unconscious, but still human. Once he was
revived, he informed the gang as to what happened to his people and
that they were on their way to pick-up a shipment of weapons just
north of SokchĄŻo in the former DMZ.
Pak had recognized Demon Hell Ride, and based on his
reputation, entrusted him with continuing on their mission for the
weapons shipment promising him a great reward if he chose to do so.
So, the little gang sent Kazumi to scout out the bridge controls,
while they made preparations to leave the island in a hurry. All
this after they tried interrogating Mr. Kim.
Mr. Kim was a hard egg to crack, and still gave the gang
little information as to why a non-zombie would help the bugs kill
freedom fighters. The best they could ascertain was that it had to
do with either his family or the people of the town.
Mel and Dr. D tried to prowl up to the bridge controls,
when all of a sudden they were attacked by two Killer Bees. The
battle grew fierce when two more joined the fray. The rest of the
gang gave cover fire from the top of the parking structure. Within a
minute the battle was over and the bridge spanned across the water
once more.
The band of freedom fighters crossed the bridge only to
find themselves once again under fire by an armored jeep and three
motorcycles. The zombies gave pursuit. Young Kim was forced to ditch
the family horse when she jumped off it into the Camaro window. With
the Camaro drawing the enemy fire, it was nearly shot out from under
the band of freedom fighters. With the quick thinking of Kazumi
dropping a smoke grenade and the crack shots of everyone else, the
threat was soon neutralized.
Once out of danger, Pak left the group at the side of the
road on foot back to Kong-nung to update his chain of command of the
unfolding events. The rest pressed forward to SokchĄŻo, where they
took shelter at an inn just outside of town.
In SokchĄŻo the group split up in order to cover more
ground. Mel and Dr. D headed to the hospital to locate the last
member of the Chosan Irregulars, while Kazumi and Demon Hell Ride
did some recon of the town for safe houses and black markets. Demon
and Kazumi were successful in locating the black market, but were
asked to come back just before closing time, just as Mel and Dr. D
found their patient, healed him, and snuck him out of the hospital.
As Demon and Kazumi were driving the truck loaded with gear
and weapons over to the shop for some business they were passed by a
zombie patrol jeep. The zombie driver looked at Demon and there was
a spark of recognition in his eyes. The jeep continued down the
road, but radioed for backup, (which Demon was smart enough to check
the radio for this zombie traffic) and after a couple more turns,
two armored jeeps mounted with .50 cals were following Demon and
Kazumi.
Kazumi tried her smoke grenade trick once more and had
Demon stop the truck by an abandoned two-story building. Here they
ran up to the second floor, and took up a firing position. Out of
the smoke four zombies appeared and started to inspect DemonĄŻs
truck. Once the smoke cleared the two jeeps were parked side-by-side
with the drivers manning the machineguns. Two of the four zombies by
the truck notice Demon and KazumiĄŻs tracks and started for the
building.
Demon decided to shot the tracker and the battle began. One
of the jeepĄŻs gunmen noticed the sniper shot and unleashed a short
burst hitting Kazumi putting her on deathĄŻs doorstep. Out of the
fight Demon was left alone to fight off the rest. He pulled out a
LAW rocket and targeted the nearest jeep blasting it to bits, and
the blast radius was strong enough to kill the other jeep gunmen as
well.
The two trackers ran into the building and the other two by
the truck took cover. The sound of two Killer Bees also filled the
evening air. About this time the radioed Dr. D and the two kids came
into the scene and quickly dispensed the outside threat, while Demon
was left to face the other two. After and exchange of gunfire and
grenades this battle was over. Dr. D quickly laid his hands on
Kazumi, and through a miracle she was saved; but just barely.
