Attack of the Zombies
four
places sir, maybe more, it's hard to see with all the smoke."
    "Darn Creepers. Ok, you can expect the
Zombies to advance again now that the defenses have been breached,
take them out, make every shot count. Ok everyone, I need to find
the Captain, until I return Pippa is in charge, obey her every
command, do you understand?" he snarls, looking at Darth, who
cowers away and mumbles something under his breath.
    "Are you trying to upset me soldier? I asked
you a question," screams the Corporal, grabbing Darth by the collar
and dragging him forward until their noses touch.
    "Uh no sir, I mean yes sir. No, hang on, I
mean no I'm not trying to upset you sir and yes I understand. Sorry
sir."
    "Good, DO NOT disappoint me, or you will
regret it! Numbers and Hoody. In the next lull I want you both to
start working your way around the wall, Numbers go left, Hoody go
right. Instruct each squadron to build a defensive wall before it's
too late, if anyone questions you say it is by the command of the
Captain, don't worry if this ever comes out he'll back me up,
everyone give them any blocks you have in your inventories, now
move."
    "Yes sir," replies Numbers and Hoody who
immediately scoop up all the blocks that everyone tosses on the
floor, and dash off in either direction, dodging arrows as they
go.
    "Ok Jeb, you're with me, let's move out."
    Dashing after the Corporal, with arrows
flying all around is not my idea of fun but I must admit being
chosen to help the Corporal for a second time is pretty cool.
Looking over the wall into the compound I am shocked as hundreds of
Zombies push their way through the openings in the wall.
    "Corporal, the Zombies are through the wall,"
I scream at the Corporals back as we dash for the stairs at the far
end.
    "Nothing we can do Jeb, let's just hope Major
Larrson is prepared."
    "Major Larrson, what's he going to do?"
    "Look!" shouts the Corporal pointing over the
wall, "it's Major Larrson."
    Glancing to my left I am once again shocked -
yeah I know it's getting a little common now! - to see dozens of
diamond clad soldiers riding on horseback out of the smoke. With
swords raised they charge down the Zombies as they emerge through
the breached defenses, cutting and slicing them to bits.
    "Keep moving Jeb!" screams the Corporal and I
am shocked - yep sorry, but I'm shocked once again - to find I had
stopped and was watching the cavalry engage the Zombies. Pulling
myself together, I dash after the Corporal and catch up with him at
the stairs.
    "Ok Jeb, so far so good. Major Larrson should
be able to keep those Zombies engaged at the wall which should give
us enough time to get to the command post. Now listen up, this is
really important. If I do not make it you need to tell the Captain
what you witnessed at the Portal. The numbers of Zombies, Skeletons
and Creepers, all working together. Tell him we have to use the
weapon, now!"
    "What weapon sir?"
    "Don't worry about that Jeb, just make sure
he gets the message, you understand?"
    "Yes sir."
    "Good lad Jeb, now move out."
    And with that we dashed down the steps into
the compound and ran towards the command centre. We were no more
than 30 blocks across the compound before a few Zombies broke
through the cavalry and gave chase, which was pretty scary, but
what came next was terrifying. Between the Zombies legs these small
shapes appeared and started chasing after us, and man were they
fast, gaining on us with every step.
    "Corporal, we got problems sir," I yell,
looking back over my shoulder as a dozen Baby Zombies screamed
along behind us.
    "Keep running Jeb, we do not have time to
engage them."

    "Uh ok sir, but maybe you should tell them
that," I shout, drawing my sword as I ran.
    Looking back over his shoulder the Corporal
nods at me and swings about, drawing his sword in one fluid motion
as the first of the Baby Zombies catch up with us and throw
themselves against our legs. Hey, they may be babies, but they are
definitely not cute and man can they
