"Okay, so how the hell are we going to get there? We wont be driving through this tunnel and we can't turn back." Miss Faust shook her head.
Flaw was looking at the map, ignoring her.
"Why don't we just see what's through that door?" Lawliet said as she pointed to an an access door on the far wall of the tunnel.
Flaw shook his head, "How long have you known that door was there?"
"I saw it when we first got here." She seemed confused, "I thought you would have noticed it too."
Suddenly a large roar came from the end of the tunnel as the tunnel shook violently.
Flaw wasted no time moving over to the access door. It had an internal lock with no key. It did have a card swipe panel to it's right though. Using a large rock on the ground, he smashed the panel open.
As he thought, there were several wires inside, he began playing with them, connecting them to each other at random. Suddenly the door unlocked.
"Wow, Flaw, I didn't know you could do that!" Miss Faust clapped enthusiastically.
"I didn't know I could either. Let's go." Flaw pulled the door open, peering inside.
It was extremely damp, and quite dark. It seemed to have dim emergency lights slightly illuminating their path. Flaw lead the way, striking a road flare for added illumination. Lawliet followed behind, carrying Nocturnal over her shoulder. Miss Faust followed in the rear.
"I really don't like dark, damp places." Miss Faust shivered. "We can barely see in here!"
"Just shut up and keep moving." Flaw was getting quite irritated, and stressed.
After several hundred yards, an access hatch became visible above a ladder.
Lawliet unslung Nocturnal, and began slapping him. "Wake up Nocturnal. I'm not carrying you up that ladder!"
Miss Faust began to object to Nocturnal's treatment, but he finally woke up.
"Hrnh? What happened? And where is my ... my f***ing arm is gone!" Nocturnal began panicking, pointing to his missing arm.
"Oh, a Zombie ripped your arm off. Quit making such a big deal out of it." Flaw shook his head, dismissing Nocturnal's loss.
"But, hello, my arm. How am I supposed to function as a one armed man?" Nocturnal seethed in pain, not having any pain killers to aid him.
"You can function as Zombie bait. Up you go!" Flaw pointed to the ladder.
As if Nocturnal had much of a choice, he began struggling to climb the ladder with only one arm. By the time he reached the top, he came under a tremendous amount of confusion. How was he going to open the latch with one arm on the ladder and the other arm ... somewhere else.
After fumbling around a pit, he managed to get a good enough grip with his legs on the ladder so that he could use his arm to open the latch and push it up. Daylight broke into the access tunnel.
"Daylight already? What is this, the fourth day now?" Lawliet seemed annoyed.
"I can't hear you down there, but everything looks clear up here." Nocturnal shouted down, before hoisting himself out of the latch.
Flaw climbed up next, followed by Lawliet, and finally miss Faust. The daylight felt nice, compared to the damp and dark tunnel. The group stretched out their cramped muscles.
"Well, according to the map, the radio station should be that way." Flaw pointed east.
Nocturnal seemed confused, "Who cares where the radio station is, I'm a famished one armed man. I demand food."
Flaw was about to slap Nocturnal, but it had always been against his belief to hit a cripple (while other people could witness it).
"We're going to the radio station because it's a secure building, we can transmit over the radio, and there should be food there." Lawliet answered Nocturnal's question.
As they were about to move, bubbles appeared in the river bank, and tentacles burst through it's surface. The group was slow to react, yet the only one grabbed by the tentacles was Lawliet.
Before anybody could grab her, Lawliet was yanked towards the river where a massive Zombitu had emerged.
"Aaaah, my

!" She cried out.Really, for last words, those sure were terrible.
"No! Lawliet!" Miss Faust cried out.
Nocturnal had already took off running, looking quite awkward with only one swinging arm. Flaw on the other hand grabbed Miss Faust's wrist, dragging her behind him.
"She can't be saved now, we have to move before that thing comes after the rest of us." Flaw screamed behind him as he ran.
The first vehicle they saw was a cement truck. It would have to do. Flaw yanked on the door, it was open. He climbed inside, throwing miss Faust in as well. Nocturnal had climbed into the passenger side as fast as a one armed man could.
"Finally!" Flaw rejoiced, the keys were in the ignition.
He started the truck, it's engine vibrated and then shook to life. If only Flaw knew how to drive a cement truck. Flaw began scrambling around the dash board trying to figure out how to drive it.
Unfortunately, the Zombitu had caught up to them, grabbing onto the back of it. The Zombitu's tentacles began searching around the giant cement truck for some form of entry.
"Screw it, try this!" Nocturnal yelled as he pulled a lever.
The cement truck began dumping wet cement out of the rear as the large spinning cylinder hoisted into the air. Cement began covering the Zombitu, restricting it's movements. Fortunately, the truck had been sitting there for a while, and a lot of the moisture had evaporated from the cement, enabling it to dry faster.
"I'm a genius!" Nocturnal shouted.
"No, you're just lucky." Flaw said as he finally figured out how to put the truck in gear, and began driving.
The truck didn't move very fast, but their destination wasn't very far away. They would reach the radio station in no time.
We should have tried to finish off the Zombitu when we had the chance. Then again, we probably would have failed, and died miserably.
