David sees that after he started moving towards them the dots stopped moving, gathered in a circle. He pauses for a second before confronting them.
'Will this really work?'
[The best plans are sometimes the simplest.]
He takes a deep breath and steps forward, revealing himself with the minigun to the crowd.
They look in horror at his imposing figure standing 20 meters away before they hear the man with the megaphone shouting.
"Shoot!"
As the man shouts David starts revving up his minigun, a dark look on his face.
"It's ok. After this it'll all be over..." He mutters to himself, not knowing if he's comforting the crowd or himself.
The shots fly into the ballistic shields, the people holding them falling over from the pure force as David fires into the crowd. The noise created by the bullets flinging and smashing drown out any screams that would be heard. Any shots that hit David inbetween, bounce off his armor, barely moving a half a millimeter into it, Causing it to ring into his ears.
[The hard part was before. Now it's very likely for you to win this battle.]
[Don't drop your guard though!]
'...'
After about 20 seconds the belt runs out of bullets so he pulls it out and inserts another one, to the horror of the ones facing him.
"F-Fuck..." The man with the megaphone mutters to himself before running away, only to be shot in the spine, promptly immobilizing and crippling him.
...
...
...
After finishing of the last of the people trying to run away David drops the minigun and falls down on his butt.
'I-I did it.' 'I survived!'
He smiles to himself and lays down on the dirt on his stomach.
[...]
He rolls over on his back and looks up into the sky and his smile quickly turns into a grim, forced one before disappearing.
'I'm scum.' He thinks to himself. Tears start flowing out of his eyes and he starts to gag before laughing maniacally.
He stops suddenly and just stares, not even knowing what he is looking at.
'I should've just killed myself when i lost my job.' 'Then noone would have had to die.' He thinks to himself, that familiar anxiety and an overwhelming melancholy, similar but greater than the previous days, fills his thoughts.
'Maybe i deserve all of this pain.' 'Maybe i should just...'
[David.]
'...'
He stops thinking and his feelings of fatigue overtake him. As he stares, eyes open, he falls asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Ha! What a fucking idiot.' Luis thinks to himself looking at David's sleeping body.
"The stress must've gotten to him after all of that fighting." Chris whispers to him.
"Yes, Let's end his life." Luis whispers back.
"Looks like Scott survived too." Chris says, trying mask that he is pulling a knife out from his inventory.
"He is lucky little rat."
*Swish~*
*Grab!*
"You are not so lucky." Luis grabs the knife trying to make its way into his kidneys.
"You fucking nazi bastard!" Chris yells out in surprise and fear.
*Thunk!*
*Smash!*
*Swish~*
*Stab!*
"GAh!"
*Smash!*
*SMASH!*
*Smash!*
*Vomit~*
Chris keels over in pain, his mouth frothing.
"You was a sneaky bastard from the start."
Luis pulls a knife out of his inventory and stabs Chris in the neck three times before lifting up his head by the hair and stabbing him in the throat.
*Stab!*
"Gargle..."
*Stab!*
*Stab!*
"Guhl..."
*Thwunk!*
"Hwuuuuhh..."
Chris breathes his last breath and loses consciousness, dropping to the cold dirt below, bleeding out. Luis rips off a part of Chris's shirt and wraps it around the wound on his left forearm to help with the bleeding.
"Status!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luis sneaks up to David and takes a look at him.
[There should be an opening inbetween his throat and chin.]
'...'
*Stab!*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sharp pain wakes David up, feeling the knife moving through the underside of his chin, into the roof of his mouth, the cold tip stopping in his right maxillary sinus.
'Goddamn! This is like cutting into a wooden board!' Luis thinks to himself.
*Slick!*
As the knife moves out of his throat David desperately tries to grab at the thing attacking him and by pure luck, or maybe some sort of "Divine" intervention he manages to get ahold of something and squeezes as hard as he can.
"AAHHHA!"
David squeezes until he hears a satisfying crack and a crazed scream, the feeling of squeezing being something akin to digging into a cooked ham.
"GAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!" "PIECE OF SHIT!" Luis screams in pain and surprise.
'How the fuck are you still alive?!' Luis asks in his mind, not noticing the smile forming on his own face.
He tries to drag his arm out of the grip, only causing the claws on Davids gauntlets to rip through his muscles, vessels and tendons even more.
"GAAAAH!" 'What a deadly grip!'
David starts flailing his other arm around, mimicking a speeding truck on the highway causing Luis some fear.
'Every second near this monster is a second closer to death!' He thinks to himself, pulling a hatchet out of his inventory and decisively chopping his own left arm off.
"FUCKING SHIT!" He screams before running off into the forest.
Feeling that there is no longer a pulling force David hastily sits up, takes his arms back and throws off his helmet.
Blood pours out of it, not adding much to the already bloody scene of slaughter.
'Shit! Fuck Fuck Fuck!'
[Keep your head forward, otherwise blood will flow into your lungs and you'll drown.]
'Alright. Alright. Keep calm...' David does as the voice says and takes as deep a breath as he can to calm himself down.'
[Just let it flow out of the hole in your chin, otherwise it will start pooling up in your mouth.]
'Ok! Ok!' He takes another breath.
"Gurg-"
[Don't you vomit.]
He holds it in.
[Now grab your stuff and run after that guy.]
'Alright.' David does as the voice says and then looks at the map, to see a dot moving slowly on the battlefield. He pulls out a halberd and moves toward it. As he reaches it he only sees dead bodies. He swing his halberd around at the corpses until the dot disappears.
"AGH! Huuuuhht..."
'That's not it.' He looks at the map again and sees another dot running away from him and starts running towards it.
"Gh... KHEFF!" He hacks up a ball of blood and snot.
[You better move quick or you'll pass out from the blood loss.]
'Right.'
As he's about 100 meters away from the dot he sees a halberd moving straight towards his head. He quickly pulls his shield up and blocks the halberd, the force of the halberd almost knocking him over.
[Oi Oi... Another monster?] [What the hell have you humans on earth been eating?!]
'I should probably try and dodge them instead huh.' He thinks to himself, ignoring the voices question.
...
...
...
'I'm probably goinna die right?' Luis asks his voice, on the brink of delerium from blood loss.
[Yes. I cannot currently find a way for you to survive this situation, that you can influence.]
'...'
'Then tell me... How can i make that bastard that's gonna kill me suffer?'
[...]
[...There is part where the armor is much thinner under the armpits... If you can slice his axillary artery he should bleed to death.]
'Thank you... Partner.'
[It was nice knowing you Luis.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Bought: [Blessed peasant's spear] for 115 Sp.]

...
...
...
David notices that the man has stopped and gets out his sniper rifle. He takes a look through the scope while hiding behind his shield and sees that the man is behind a tree. He puts the sniper back into his inventory and takes out the minigun. He loads in the last belt and fires at the tree.
*TAktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktak...*
*MRRRrrrrr...*
He fires for a good five seconds then looks at the map.
'The dot!' A spear hits his armpit under the shoulder he is holding the minigun in, slicing a small hole through the armor, just enough to make it into Davids flesh and sever his axillary artery.
David quickly drops the minigun and backhands Luis in the side of his head with his right hand, causing Luis's head to smash open, a small bit of fluid flowing out of where David hit him. The force of the blow caused his head to twist to the side so violently that half of his neck is ripped open. He dies instantly as the blow connects.
David looks at Luis's face and sees a sneaky smile adorning his lips, as if saying: "That's what you get you shithead!"
'How the hell did he make it through my armor?!'
[The spear must've had a penetrating effect.]
David falls to his knees in dizziness from the blood loss. A second later the screen once again appears.
