Chapter: 24 The Nest

You and the rest of the kids from the school were walking to the hospital that you had mentioned the day prior. You were fully geared up in your armor, duster, and your mask and helmet. You also had all of your weapons on you.
"Are we there yet?" Mitch wined.
"Man, you really are like a child." You replied.
"Why you!" Mitch growled at you. You then turned your head to him and gave him and intimidating glare under your mask. He was still able to see your eyes. He immediately stood down and looked away. You looked back to the front. Violet then walked to your side.
"Hey, Y/N?" Violet said to you.
"What's up, Vi?" You asked her.
"How long do you think this'll take?" She asked you.
"Well, if everyone does what I say and doesn't mess around, we should be back before the evening rolls around. It is still morning." You replied.
"Okay, so what do you have planned when we get back exactly." Violet asked.
"Well, when we get back to the school, I'm gonna give everyone a little quiz on what they learned at The Nest. And depending on everyone's answers, we'll get right into combat training." You replied.
"Alright. I really hope this works out." Violet said with worry in her voice.
"Hey, don't worry. This'll be a piece of cake. I've been here multiple times before." You replied.
"What?" Louis asked.
"Really?" Aasim asked, walking up behind you.
"Yeah. I used to use the nest as a training ground to hone my abilities in the past. That's because every time I cleared the nest, it would fill back up within a few weeks." You explained.
"Damn. And how long ago was this?" Omar asked.
"When I first became the Reaper of The Battle Hardened. So, 5 or so years ago." You explained.
"You were only 14 when you took on a hoard of hundreds of walkers?" Clementine asked, in shock.
"Yeah. Remember me telling you how I saved my whole squad against a hoard?" You asked her.
"Yeah?" She replied.
"Well, it was the first time we encountered The Nest. I know I said there were only 250-300 walkers I killed. But, I lied. I said that to not worry people any more they they should have been. There were probably close to 1,000 walkers I fought against at the nest." You explained. Everyone gave you a look of pure shock.
"Jesus. 14 years old, and you fought a hoard of 1,000 walkers. And I'm guessing you were much weaker back then." Violet said.
"Yeah. By abilities have magnified exponentially since then. By now, 1,000 walkers should be nothing I can't handle." You explained.
"Bro, you were not made for this world. You're like the main character of a story or something." Louis said to you.
"Well, in a sense, I guess you could say that's true." You replied with a giggle.
"So, how many do you think will be in The Nest this time?" Ruby asked.
"Probably more than 1,000, if I'd have to guess. Plus, we actually have to get to the core of the nest which is under the actual hospital. The hospital itself is swarming with walkers. But the core, is the epicenter of activity." You explained.
"Okay. This is ridiculous. You're gonna get us all killed. We should've never let you back in. Why is everyone so quick to trust these assholes?" Mitch said, looking around at everyone.
"Because he helped us with the defenses and agreed to train us all. This is just a step to get to that point. Also, Clementine helped us get the barbed wire and buried Ms. Martin. That's why we trust them. We'll be fine." Violet replied, with a serious tone.
You're free to go back, Mitch. That is, if you want to take the chance of being on your own out here." You said to Mitch with a cocky grin. Mitch gave a worried look and then looked away with anger.
"Fine, get us all killed then." Mitch replied.
"We'll be fine, quit acting like a baby. You don't see Tenn or AJ complaining." You said.
"Whatever." Mitch replied.
You all kept walking for a little while longer until you reached the hospitals parking lot.
"Alright, we're here. Everyone follow my lead." You said to everyone. They all then pulled out their respective weapons. You pulled out your combat knife and walked through the parking lot. There was the occasional walker here and there, but you handled them swiftly. You all then reached the entrance of the hospital and entered. Inside the place was dimly lit from the sunlight outside. The place was overgrown with plants. The paint was chipping and the ceiling was damaged, along with the rest of the place. You saw dead walkers and decaying bodies. Even some skeletons here and there.
"Jesus. This place is a graveyard." Violet commented.
"Trust me, you haven't seen anything yet." You replied. You all then started walking through the main hallway, trails of dried blood covering the floor and walls.
"I-I'm scared. This looks really bad." Tenn said.
"Stay close to me Tenn, and you'll be perfectly fine." You replied to Tenn. Tenn looked up to you and nodded. You were then met with a group of walkers once you turned a corner. "Alright everyone, stay back." You said to them, lunging towards the walkers. You punched one of them hard enough to send them flying into a wall with rebar poking out of it. It's head was stabbed by the rebar, killing it. Two more came after you, but you jumped in the air and kicked them in the heads simultaneously. Their heads exploded from the impact of your kicks. Another one tried biting you, but you blocked it's bit with your metal brace. You then grabbed the back of its head and pulled it back. You then grabbed its jaw with your other hand and ripped the upper part of its head off, leaving the jaw still attached. You dropped its head and smashed it with your boot. It's still standing body then fell in a dramatic way, with you standing over it.
"Let's go." You order the others. Everyone had shocked looks on their faces. But they eventually started following you again. You then went down some stairs and reached the surgery wing. The area was significantly worse than the previous one, with blood everywhere, some of it being fresh. Walkers swarmed the halls and turned towards you.
"Alright, I'm gonna need everyone to stay right behind me. We've got quite a few in front of us. Don't worry, this'll be quick." You explained.
"Clem, and the rest of you. I want you take care of any stragglers that I might miss. Let's go." You said to everyone. You then engaged the walkers, swiftly taking care of any that got close to you. You demolished them with ease, stabbing their heads and staggering any that got too close. Clem managed to kill a few, as well as Violet. The rest of the group didn't have to get involved since the three of you were so quick to kill them. Before you knew it, they were all dead.
"Alright, good work you two." You said to Clem and Violet. They smiled and nodded.
"Let's keep going, the core is close." You said, walking forward. You reached a room that was only lit by a hole in the ceiling that lead to the surface.
"This is the core? But there aren't any walkers. You lied to us." Mitch said to you.
"Are you sure? Follow me." You replied. Mitch gave you a look of confusion before following you. You lead everyone to the middle of the room where there was a hole in the floor.
"What is this, a sink hole?" Clementine asked.
"Not just a sink hole, this is the entrance to the core." You replied.
"But it's pitch dark down there." Louis said.
"Don't worry. Last time I was here, I set up torches along the entire core. I'll light them all as we reach it." You explained.
"Well, alright then. How do we get down there?" Aasim asked you.
"There should be a hidden ladder around here somewhere. Hmm, where did I last leave it?" You asked yourself, searching the area. You then found it setting beside an old hospital bed.
"There it is." You said, grabbing the ladder. You then extended it and set it down the hole.
"Alright, I'll go first. Everyone else, one at a time." You said to everyone. You just jumped down into the hole and waited on the others. AJ was too close to the edge and slipped down.
"Ahh!" AJ shouted as he fell down into the hole.
"AJ!" Clementine shouted with fear, trying to grab him. But she was too late. Fortunately, you caught him just in time before he hit the ground.
"Gotcha." You said, catching him.
"Oh than god. AJ, you okay?" Clementine asked AJ.
"I'm okay." AJ replied.
Clem then went down the ladder and walked to you. You put AJ down and looked to Clementine. She then gave you a surprise hug.
"Thank you, Y/N. I about had a heart attack." She said to you, hugging tighter.
"No problem, Clem. I wasn't about to let him hit the ground." You replied, hugging back. You then then broke the hug. She then stared into your eyes and you did the same.
"Ahem. Sorry to disrupt your little love stare, but can we hurry this up?" Mitch said as he came down the ladder.
"Oh so now you're eager to get this done? If I recall correctly, you were practically pissing your pants earlier." You shot back at Mitch.
"You got a problem?!" Mitch angrily asked.
"You wanna find out?!" You replied.
Clementine then got in front of you and placed both her hands on your chest.
"That's enough you two. This is really not the time. Y/N, remember what I told you." Clementine said to you.
"Right, right. Control myself." You replied, taking a deep breath. Clem then smiled and placed her hand on your cheek.
"That's right." She said, rubbing her thumb against your cheek.
"So they aren't dating, but they do shit like that?" Louis whispered to Violet.
"I know, weird right?" Violet whispered back.
"Let's keep going." You said to everyone. They all then followed you through a small underground cave system. You lit up torches on the walls of the cave that you placed there years ago. You then came to a dirt path, leading down to a pitch black open area.
"We're here." You said to everyone.
"We are? I don't see or here anything." Louis replied.
"That's because they don't know we're here yet." You explained.
"Okay, that's not exactly reassuring." Louis replied. You then started walking down the dirt path. You looked back at the others who were still standing there.
"Come on." You ordered to them. They hesitated at first but eventually started following you. Once you all reached the end of the path leading down, you signaled everyone to stop.
"Everyone stay quiet." You whispered to them.
"Why? I don't see anything." Willy asked.
You then took your lighter and circle the entire room with it, lighting each torch you had placed down there. With each torch lit, it revealed more of the cavern you were in. There was hospital equipment and pieces of the building everywhere from when the sink hole occurred. The hole still lead to the surface, so there was a little bit of sunlight beaming down. As the cavern became more lit, more and more walkers could be seen in the cavern. Once you were done lighting the torches, the walkers became aware of you, as well as the others.
"Holly shit!" Mitch shouted.
"There's so many." Violet commented.
"Y/N? What do we do?" Louis asked you.
"We can't fight this many." Aasim said.
You then dashed back to the group and stood in front of them.
"So guys, what do you think?" You asked them.
"I think we're gonna die." Omar replied.
"There's hundreds of them, are you sure you can do this Y/N?" Clementine asked you.
"Of course. There's at least about 1,000 walkers here. Should be a piece of cake. But, before I continue." You said before jumping up to a ledge.
"Y/N. What the hell, don't leave us." Ruby said to you.
"What are you doing, Y/N?" AJ asked you.
"Don't be afraid. This is for your own good. I want you all to try and stand your ground against them." You replied.
"What?! Are you crazy? You really are trying to kill us." Mitch replied.
"Why, Y/N?" Violet asked.
"You'll be fine. Just try and push them back by picking them off. You can see that they're separating as they make their way to you. That should be enough for you to take out some of them. This is to see how you do in the heat of battle against overwhelming odds. Don't worry, I won't let any of you get bit." You explained while pulling out your sniper.
"I'll kill any that seem like they get too close to biting you. This is how I used to train my new recruits back with The Battle Hardened." You explained, adjusting your scope.
"A-alright, Y/N. I trust you. Everyone just stay focused. Eyes ahead and don't make any stupid moves." Clementine said to everyone.
"I trust you too, Y/N. I'm not scared." AJ said while standing his ground.
"I'm with you, Clem. We've got this." Violet said, standing next to her. Everyone else then followed suit, pulling out their weapons and standing their ground. All except Mitch and Tenn.
"Y/N, I'm scared." Tenn said.
"Yeah, Y/N. It's bad enough that your making us all do this, but even Tenn?" Mitch said to you.
"AJ seems to be doing just fine, Mitch. Tenn, don't worry, you'll be alright, I've got you covered." You reassured Tenn. Tenn then looked forward to AJ who was standing confident. He then looked back to you and gave you a confident look and nodded his head.
"Good. Mitch, stay close to him, just in case." You said to Mitch.
"Stop telling me what to do." Mitch replied, standing next to Tenn.
"Alright everyone, get ready." You said as the walkers got closer to them. Clem was the first to attack, stabbing a walker in the head. She then stunned another one and killed it. Violet stated killing some with her cleaver and Louis was bashing walkers heads in with his chair leg. Aasim was in the fight as well, picking some off with his bow and stabbing any at close range. Soon everyone got involved in the fight, killing walkers in their own respective ways.
"Nice job everyone, keep it up." You said as you aimed your sniper at a walkers head, shooting it dead. This continued for about 5 minutes until they started getting overwhelmed.
Shit, Y/N? There's too many of them." Clem said to you.
"We're being overwhelmed." Violet said.
"Yeah man. I think we get the idea. Help us!" Louis said.
"Alright, everyone fall back. Run up the path and get this this ledge. You be safe up here." You explained. Everyone then ran up the path and stepped down to the ledge you were on.
"Jesus. That was hard." Violet said.
"No kidding. I've never killed so many walkers at once." Mitch replied.
"I've killed a lot of walkers before. But that was just ridiculous." Clementine said.
"So. You all now know what it's like to face overwhelming odds. I know you have before, Clem. But the others haven't. Now, watch and learn from me." You said before jumping down to the hoard.
"This is a deeper look into what I'm capable of." You said before charging into the hoard with just your knife and bare hands.
