bite.
Trying to shake them off while slicing with
our swords, the little monsters cling to our legs and the rest of
them arrive and jump on us. Man, if it was not such a dangerous
situation it would almost have been funny. The two of us were
stumbling around with six little screaming biting machines stuck
all over us.
"Jeb, stop messing around and get on with
it," screams the Corporal as he runs towards me.
"What, where did all his Baby Zombies go?" I
think as I rip one of the little critters off my leg and drive my
sword through its stomach. Grabbing the next Baby Zombie by the
back of its neck, I slice its throat and throw it to the floor just
as the Corporal arrives and slices the remaining four Zombies in a
single stoke. WOW! So that's what happened to his Zombies, this guy
is
"Come on Jeb, move it before the real Zombies
get here," he screams, turning away from me and dashing for the
command compound.
Taking a quick look over my shoulder I'm shocked , no I'm actually horrified to see
maybe twenty Zombies now shambling in my direction. *gulp*
"Right behind you Corporal," I reply, dashing
after him.
Right, so anyway me and the Corporal ran from
one end of the compound to the other, dodging Zombies all the way,
until we reached the command post, but get this, the door was
smashed in and everything inside was destroyed. All that way for
nothing!
"So what now Corporal?"
"This is bad Jeb, how did the Zombies know
that this was the command post, it looks just like all the other
buildings?"
"So what do you think happened?"
"I can only hope that they survived and have
fallen back to the secondary command. Feel like another little
run?" he grinned as he dashed off at a sprint.
I guess that was a rhetorical question, I
grin as I dash after him.
So anyway, here I am, sat at the backup
command post. The Corporal has just gone in and left me here so I
thought I would write in my diary , drat, I
mean journal, just in case anything happens to me.
"Jeb, get in here," screams the Corporal.
Ok, time to go, will try and update this
again later.

Right, so here's what happened next. I was
called into the command centre and the sight that greeted me nearly
took my breath away. The Headmaster and Colonel Mayer were arguing
and screaming at each other. My jaw dropped open as I came to a
stop next to the Corporal.
"Attention soldier, you are in the presence
of the commander," the Corporal ordered.
Standing to attention, my jaw remained open,
as I stared at the scene before me.
What? Oh you don't get it. Ok, that's because
you don't know what they were saying to each other, so let me fill
you in.
Colonel Mayer: Steve, I know these are
desperate circumstances but do you really want to reveal yourself
to the troops. You know that once there realize who you are there
is no going back.
Headmaster: Colonel, thank you for
your concern but I have hidden behind these Headmaster robes long
enough. It is time to take my place at this time of need.
Colonel: But Sir, why not wait and see
what happens before making a decision that you may later
regret.
Headmaster: I fear that it may already
be too late Colonel. The mobs have formed an army the likes of
which have never before been seen and they have already caused more
destruction in one attack than they have ever managed to inflict
before.
Colonel: Yes Sir. I don't know how
they managed to find and destroy the command centre but the loss of
the Captain and the destruction of the Survival Room controls could
prove problematic.
Headmaster: Oh you have a way with
words Colonel, but problematic does not do the situation justice. I
would prefer to use the word catastrophic.
Colonel: Sir?
Headmaster: You do realize that we can
no longer manipulate the Survival Room, don't you Colonel? When the
mobs killed the Captain and destroyed the controls in the command
centre they destroyed our ability to use Cheat Codes in the
Survival Room. We are now effectively on the Overworld, and we
