mixed stories

A little girl wakes up in a cold dark room she gets herself up and looks around trying to remember how she got there and why she went there, she walked and saw someone laying agenst a wall covered in heavily damaged and worn black bodyarmor and a large black helmet covering his head with a black mask that looked like a blastshield covering his whole face the only thing of color he had was a necklace with a ring on it.

He had a uzi in his hand he wasn't moving didn't even look like he was breathing either she got closer and saw a faint red flash thru the black mask on his face she walked forword asked if he was hurt he said nothing she walked closer he didn't move she grabbed his mask and looked into the black cover trying to see if he was even alive.

His eyes flashed red he quickly lunged and grabbed her.... held her to him tightly with one hand firmly on the back of her head she heard scattered voices coming from him almost like sporadic whispers she could barely understand anything he was saying other then "are you ok" she didn't move for a few seconds from the fright she could barely speak but after a short while she knew he wasn't going to hurt her.

She had remembered where she was and why she's there she had gone to the old underground trainway to find her friend that disappeared around there she asked him if he would come with her to find her friend he nodded staying silent he followed her as she was walking through the dark passages she heard a noise and stopped she looked around she turned to look at him he appered to be getting ready for combat she figured he knew something she didn't she ran to him and hide behind him he looked around she latched onto his leg he turned to her and started trying to say something "(mixed whispers)run... run...." he pointed to a doorway of a small room "(mixed whispers)there... hide now!"

She dashed just as she turned around she heard gunfire and saw him shooting he was slowly walking back keeping up the fire he reached for his blade and in that second he was hit by what looked like a darkgreen dog with a blood covered wolf skull for a head, it was knawing at his hand as he was trying to keep it away from biting his neck he managed to grab his blade and began repeattedly stabbing he eventually forced it on its back and pulled his handgun firing 3 rounds into its skull then turned and started firing several rounds after which he stopped and began to reload his weapons.

She had stepped out looking at the people laying on the ground none of them looked normal all had skulls for heads and bodies covered in blood she was frozen looking at them she wanted to run back into the small room but couldn't move he walked up to her and lightly patted her on the head.

She looked at him not sure what to do she just starts walking and he slowly follows they find a hidden room in the passageways they walk in carefully he has his twin uzis drawn she walked forward and found a picture of her friend in a pink dress she took it and quickly moved forword she she felt a large object hit her she fell to the ground and looked back to him and saw him fighting more people with skulls.

She looked forwerd again and a skullhead was looking at her it moved its arm to her pulling a gun to her face she screamed thinking she was about to die then she heard a screeching roar coming from him she looked at him and watched as he broke the first mans skull then shot to kill the others his eyes turned a glowing burning blood red as he tore them apart beating one of the skullmen agenst the wall till eventually even the walls started to crack the remaining where trying to pull back as he kept firing with his twin uzis the clips had emptied after a few seconds then he dropped to his knees breathing heavily from exhaustion.

She grabbed him and he looked at her she just stood ther looking at him watching as his red eyes started to slowly fade away he was calm now he stood up and she quickly got up too they continued to walk through the passageways they had seen a lot of wrecked rooms and miniature houses the old underground train station at a few points she jumped on his back and he carried her around as she was looking at the different things they passed, then they passed a sort of makeshift warehouse and looked inside in the corner she saw a young girl in a small pink dress she was dead they got up close and as they got closer it was revealed the body turned to bone and slowly they noticed there was another skeleton with regular clothing and another necklace with a ring on it.

she turned to look at him he was shaking slowly reaching out he looked at his ring then he touched the other ring and started screaming beating his fists into the ground she heard loud tapping sounds like footsteps she turned and saw it was a large group of Skullmen.

She screamed and ran to him he looked at her his eyes flashed blood red he turned to face them while he ripped his neckless off and threw it on the ground and opened fire he ran tword them firing away and beating down the ones that got too close he pulled his shotgun and fired till he had nothing left then continued fighting with his handgun and a knife screaming and wildly firing and slashing at the few that where left she was frightened by his viciousness and aggression she looked to the ground to avoid looking at what he was doing to them.

She saw his necklace on the ground with the ring on it she picked it up and looked at the other ring and she knew why he was so angry he had been enraged by the loss of his family he collapsed to his knees and remained motionless she took the necklace and put it around her neck then walked over to him and put the other necklace around his neck then hugged him, he held her tightly and didn't move for several minutes after that he let her go and she looked at him and said "are you ok?"
he nodded and they headed to go outside they eventually reached the exit and she walked outside he followed to the exit and stopped she turned around to grab his hand again she started to pull him outside and his hand started to burn she quickly let go and she ran back inside he got down on his knee grabbed her with his hand firmly on the back of her head and he whispered to her "you'll be ok now" and he got back up.

She looked at him and nodded then she gave him a picture of her and her friend together he took it and placed it in his chest pocket and she started walking outside she kept walking and looked back he was still there she walked some more then looked back again he was still there and she walked shaking alittle she turned back he was gone she wanted to go back but she knew it wasn't right to try to go back...
9 years later

She came back with her son they both got to the entrance she saw on the ground shredded black armor and the heavlly damaged helmet and mask of her childhood protecter with a skeleton inside it its hands clentched onto several things in one hand his uzi his weapon of choice in the other hand the necklace and the picture she gave him she almost started to cry, she pulled out the necklace with the ring on it and placed it in his hand the ends were broken now.

She looked to her son and he smiled at her then he walked forword and picked up the uzi, she wanted to take it from him immediately but she felt as if her body froze he was looking at it and almost playing with it slightly then he put it away and he grabbed the picture of her and her friend and put that in his chest pocket then grabbed the necklaces fixing the one that was broken she looked at him and watched as he walked up to her.
She involuntarily sat down, he looked at her and smiled as he put the necklace back on her then put the other necklace on himself just a few moments after that she saw a faint red flash in his eyes as he hugged her, he placed his hand on her head and said with his first words he whispered "are you ok?"

area is similar to a underground trainway inside a mountain with lower areas having a smaller city inside further inside the caverns of the train tracks are holes branching into deeper caves or natural mazes surrounding area is very darkened most walls or rooms pitch black with some ruin like areas of a light brown stone large splatters of blood in several areas the lighting systems where broken or otherwise brutalized most active lights being open fires or slightly rustic colored lightbulbs.
red flashing of the eyes is a symbol of homicidal rage combined with adrenaline, it can be a notification of overall stress or emotional strain of current afflicted person and it can be artificially used as a messaging system to certain users.
the girl is age 12 at the time of the event, age 21 at time of returning to the area, her child's age is 4.

the girl is the only living being in this story the "skullmen" and the girl's guardian are not alive they all died a long time ago and simply repeating there violent deaths in what seems like the killings of hundreds of them is in actuality the rebirth/respawning and re-killing of under 40 of them.
it normally took 30 minutes to an hour for rebirthing/respawning.

the girl's guardian could actually die much like the others but he would have simply respawned later on much like the others aswell the girl couldn't as she was still alive.

the guardian first mistook her for his daughter who looked similar

(my guess) chances are he would have probably killed her if not for this mistake.

(fact)later he continued protecting her due to her friendly connection to his daughter he "adopted" her in that sense.

the guardian's family ages his wife age of death 37 his daughter(the little girls friend) age of death 9 the guardian himself age of death/respawning 39

since he was not technically alive he couldn't leave with her however after he got the girl outside safely due to her connection with his daughter and his "adopting" of her he had in a sense completed his goal and could move on (he wasn't going to respawn basically) thus he went back and fought the respawning hoard several more times till they eventually overwhelmed him.
btw he's still with her but the question is where or how.

ending spoilers









the ending is a huge bit on reincarnation
her protectors first words to her "are you ok" and her child's first words?
the placing of the picture in the same front chest pocket.
his knowledge of how to hold and switch safety off a fully loaded uzi without misfiring(this is a child definitely not normal child behavior).
the sudden red flash in his eyes.
should be obvious what happened.

I woke in a jail bars were rusted walls covered in blood doors were open so I quickly grabbed the gear out front and left, city was in ruins most buildings totally destroyed or damaged so badly the slightest bit of damage would collapse them I was out there for a few minutes till I heard the gunfire.

I ended up in the middle of an ambush neither side was after me I was just in the crossfire but neither of them knew me either far as I was concerned both of them would try to kill me so I dashed down an alleyway keeping my pistol and blade ready and I was right to do so 3 soldiers further down the alleyway I opened fire once I got close used the surprise to my advantage killed 2 of em wounded one, I finished him off with my blade.

But there was one I didn't see he caught me off guard my gun was out of ammo and I didn't have time to reload so I just grabbed a sidearm off one of the dead soldiers and emptied the clip, despite my quick reaction I was still shot twice,
Didn't have time to stay too long so I just grabbed what I could off the soldiers to use to reduce my bloodloss plus I picked up one of their assault rifles and kept moving.

Ended up in a cross street with a derailed train I dashed across to try and get out of the city soon as I could ended up in another crossfire I tried to run to the next alley but turned out there were soldiers already there I fired away with the assault rifle as I dashed forward killed 4 of em wounded the fifth and the sixth was still shooting.

I threw my knife to try and stagger em for a second as I jumped down while pulling my handgun out and I fired away the one that was wounded tried to use my own blade against me I shot him in the arm and beat him to the ground taking back my blade I finished him off with a hard stomp cracking his skull wasn't that long till I saw a larger group of soldiers rushing down the alley already bleeding I knew I had to find a different way.

I turned around and saw a tank driving up, 17+ soldiers at my back and a damn tank on my front I dashed toward the train only real choice had the tank had already seen me though managed to avoid the first shell cut it pretty close with the 2nd luckily I didn't get hit by the explosion but the shrapnel was fucking me up managed to get to the train and slid under it.

it took one of the shots good the 2nd wasn't doing very well some fragments and shrapnel were coming through I crawled as fast as I could ended up face to face with a little girl who was hiding there she was scared and with the tank out there I knew she wouldn't survive long I told her it wasn't safe there and grabbed her to follow me got out from the other side of the train and ran to the nearest building broke open the door, just my luck guy with a shotgun right in the doorway took a shotgun shell to the face then woke up (I knew I died that time)
