Dead Space 2: Extinction

Chapter 11: Last Hope

The group made ​​its decision and goes to military spaceships outside the base. All the soldiers have been actually killed by the creatures, too many. Isaac tries to establish contact with Loana, but she does not answer.

(Isaac): "I do not understand, the transmission is good, but the sergeant did not answer I do not like it at all."

In front of the group, a military woman arrives. She limps and is hurt to the arm. His eyes are almost expressionless.

(Ellie): "Madam, you are hurted. Let us help you. We'll get you in safe."

(Female): "It's useless. We can not defeat them. They will kill us all. They want our bodies, they need to be reborn. If you can not kill them, thereby becoming one of them."

The woman takes her gun hanging from his belt. The group immediately understands what she wants to do.

(Emily): "NO, wait, do not ...."

Too late. The woman shot herself in the head and falls to the ground, dead. The group is horrified by what he has seen. Cali asks to Maria to turn the head, for that she would not see this.

(Mathias): "If it is not them that kill us, it is the madness that will kill us."

(Cali): "Yes, or we will kill each other."

(Isaac): "Do not think of that. We must continue."

The group leaves the woman's body and continues on his way. A few seconds after they left, an Infector arrives and transmits the virus in the body of the woman who turns into Slasher.

The group is now outside the base. Around them, it's a real battlefield. Hundreds of human corpses and Necromorphs that lie everywhere.

Suddenly the cry of Maria and Cali is heard behind them. The group turns to see. Carter is here, and grabbed Maria and the threat with a weapon. Cali in front of him, helpless.

(Carter). "Drop your weapons, or I kill her. I warn you, I will not hesitate."

He puts the gun against the temple of the little girl. The group has no choice but to obey. They ask all their weapons and put their hands in the air.

(Ellie): "Where are your men, Carter?"

(Carter): "All death, but soon they will be reborn. This is our destiny at all."

(Isaac): "You are even crazier than Xenam. You want that our entire race is destroyed."

(Carter): "No destroyed. Improved. A new era for the mankind. the Necromorphs are the key of the evolution. Of perfect bodies. Of creatures who do not think to kill each other for money or power. These are the humans the real monsters, the true parasites, and the Necromorphs are there to cleanse the galaxy of our presence. This is why I have to bring the virus.... on the earth. "

(Cali): "No!! If you do that, the earth will be condemned. Of millions of people will be killed and it will be the Apocalypse."

Carter chuckles at that. It does not seem to be aware of what he does. Maria can not move because the weapon is right on her temple.

(Carter): "Decidedly, you are naive. You refuse to see that our species must evolve or disappear. You want to prevent what millions of people dream of doing: Defeat the death."

I remember when Xenam had me talk about these searches on Tau Volantis. He told me that a alien race had created the Necromorph virus, there are several centuries. But unfortunately, their invention at escape to their control and they have all perished. "

He prepares his weapon and aims the head of Maria, with a really cruel look.

(Carter): "You are the first. Do not worry, your turn will come. I have enough ammunition to shoot you all. It's time for you to die and be reborn!"

But Maria managed to bite his hand and break free from his grip. She joined Cali and the group, who take their weapons.

(Isaac): "Put your gun Carter, or otherwise, I kill you without hesitation."

But the man did not seem intimidated by threats of Isaac. Instead, it makes him laugh.

(Carter): "And after? If you kill me, it will not take long for one of these creatures to transmit the virus to me, and then I will be reborn, and I will live for eternity."

Suddenly, a peak pierces the leg of Carter. Man falls to his knees and screams of pain. A Lurker located a few meters behind him, at send a peak with one of his tentacles. The group begins to back, while monitoring the surroundings. A pack of Stalkers arrives and goes to Carter, pushing their terrifying screams. In seeing them arrive, the man smiled and put his arms outstretched and looking skyward.

(Carter): "Oh divine creatures. Take me, I'm ready."

The monsters jump on him and start the massacre. A Stalker pulls one leg, while another eats the face of Carter.

Then, comes an army of Necromorphs, by the corridors of the base. Of Slashers, of Leapers, of Wasters and of Exploders.

Isaac sees one of the military vessels abandoned nearby.

(Isaac): "Let's go!"

The group began to run toward the shuttle with the army of Necromorphs to their pursuit. The monsters are too fast and are gaining ground on their prey. The group managed to reach the shuttle but Isaac wants to be sure that the group will survive. To do this, it takes a terrible decision. When the group boarded, Isaac closes the door of the spaceship, but is not boarded.

(Ellie): "Isaac, what are you doing?"

She tries to open the door to pick him up, but he has locked the doors. Now he is alone with the Necromorphs.

(Cali): "Isaac, gets back on board!"

(Isaac): "You are safe now I'll make sure you get home I love you all. Goodbye."

Then, with a remote control, he fact take off the spaceship and watch him fly. Ellie looks out the window and saw Isaac walking away from her, more. Tears flowed down her cheeks.

(Ellie): "Isaac!! NOOOO!!"

The spaceship going in the space and Isaac faces his destiny. The army of Necromorphs encircles him now, and he is alone. The monsters approach him, growling in rage. Isaac takes two bombs in his hands. He expects that the monsters are pretty close and....

(Isaac): "Go fuck all you do, Motherfuckers!"

And he blew with all Necromorphs around him. In the spaceship, the group observed the explosion, all in shock. Ellie sat in the spaceship and can not believe it. Isaac died to save all.

Young recruits and Maria can not believe it either. They saw Isaac as a father.

The spaceship continues its path to the earth. Nobody said a word the whole way.

A few months later, the group returned to earth, in their home. Maria was adopted into the family like a sister to the others. But Ellie has not yet recovered from the death of Isaac. He misses her terribly.

One morning, the group eating in the lounge. Suddenly, a transmission comes with the computer. When Ellie meets to the call, she heard a voice she not expected to hear one day.

(Isaac): "Ellie ..... This is me ...."

(Ellie): "Isaac!"

Hearing this, the young people come to the computer. On the screen, Isaac appears sitting in a spaceship. He is very hurt to the face. His armor was enough solid to protect him of the explosion, but he is very hurt. Seeing all the group gathered before him, Isaac smiled.

(Isaac): "I go home. I love you all. Soon."

(Ellie):"I love you my love. We wait you."

A hope has reborn in the hearts of everyone. Ellie sheds tears of joy and the rest of the group too. Isaac is alive and will return to the earth. This new nightmare ends, but no one can know if it was the last.... Or not.

THE END
