I'll just repost it then

>Hour 3
>By now the exterminators were taking a break from the slaughtering, which included hanging around desolate cafes and shooting the shit with each other.
>Though technically, Exterminators are never truly on break.
>So when Vaggie drove by a group of them, the group couldn't help but follow by, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

>Back in the limo, the passenger in the back finally regained consciousness.
>Isaac woke with a start, looking around his new surroundings.
>It was spacious for a limo, normally they never had so much room to move around in.
>When Isaac looked at his wrists, he saw that they were bound together by plastic ties.
>"Well look who finally woke up." Vaggie had turned back to look at Isaac, who looked back at her with contempt.
"Where the hell are you taking me?"
>"I told you already, we're going to the hotel. I know you're probably pissed but you don't understand how bad we need you here."
"You're the one who doesn't understand here, my people are dying as we speak, 1000s each second. You need to let me go."
>"Isaac do you hear yourself? You're not well, Lucifer said-"
"The devil himself? Didn't know I had fans down here."
>"They're two different beings, but the point is, he sensed something was wrong with you, you need our help Isaac."
"I fucking know there's something wrong with me, and you can't fix it."
>"But we can if you'd give us a -"
"You still don't get it. Whatever he sensed it's deeper than just a mental illness, it's like a parasite, a presence"
>"Then do you mind telling me what's wrong with you then?"
"It's.....it's a long story that I don't have the time to tell you."
-
>"Well we're gonna be here for a while, I've got to take the long way back, thanks to all the debris on the road."
>Isaac sighed, seeing no other option.
>And besides, if he could keep her distracted for just a bit longer, he'll be free.
>Since now he was slowly cutting the plastic with the shape end of his plasma cutter.
>So Isaac began telling Vaggie the story of the markers.
>"A few hundred years ago in my world, the government found an artifact in South America, they called it the marker. It was said to predate mankind, they began experimenting with it and found a way to make more of them."
>"I've got a bad feeling about this"
"And you should, the markers, they turn people into Necromorphs, they're like zombies, but different, you have to dismember them to kill them."
"During the 1st outbreaks, Earth Gov hid the original marker away, and scattered the man made ones on abandoned planets, hopping they'd never be seen again."
"3 years ago, that changed, a ship called the Ishimuria discovered one on Agis 7, they brought it aboard.......no one made out alive........."
>"Then ho-"
"I was there Vaggie, I saw the carnage with my own goddamn eyes."
>Vaggie could here the sincerity in his voice, he couldn't have been making it up with that tone.
>So Isaac began telling her about what happened, how his squad was sent to do an inspection, and how they were attacked and stranded there, and how Isaac tried to find his former girlfriend Nicole, the betrayal by his former comrade Kendra, he told everything.
>Vaggie, was understandably shocked.
>"Then what happened? Did you find Nicole?"
"She........."
>Even now, just talking about it choked him up.
>The moth sensed something was up, and her heart sunk.
"She.........god..........she died......took her own life before the sons of bitches could get her."
>Vaggie was speechless, the hell this guy had been through, but then it got worse.
-
>What came next, were 2 more stories of necromorphs, markers, and betrayal.
>"And that's been my life up until now. Any questions?"
>".........holy shit........."
>If this was all one big lie, then Isaac has to be the world's greatest bullshiter ever
>By now though, he's broken free of his restraints, and was siting up straight.
>But escape was far from his mind, now all he wanted, was just to talk.
>He'd only ever spoken about this stuff to Ellie, but now that he got to share it all with another person, Isaac felt a little better.
>"So what kept you going?"
"After Nicole, I met Ellie, as I mentioned earlier. And we hit it off not long after. We broke up a few months ago, but recently we got back together. She's my everything, without her...........I've got no one......."
>Vaggie had taken that phrase to heart.
>God forbid anything ever happen to Charlie, otherwise she'd be more than just devastated.
>"Look Isaac, I know how tough this all is....but do you even know how to get back?"
"Not yet, I'm working on it."
>"Well, in the meantime, you could stay at the hotel, with or without that gear, he'll isn't an easy place."
"Trust me, this place is close to a cakewalk, if I can fight space zombies, then how bad can this be?"
>Just then, something slammed into the limo, causing it to veer and crash.
-
>Back at the hotel, Charlie waited eagerly for her newest client.
>Sure, he could be a psychopath
>Sure, he may be as unpredictable as Angel Dust.
>But Charlie was still more than willing to give him a chance, that was the whole point of her hotel after all, to give people another chance.
>Suddenly she heard footsteps enter her room.
>"Hey Angel, what's-"
>"Heya Charlie."
>That wasn't Angel Dust
>Nope, standing there in her room, top hate and suite, was Charlie father, Lucifer.
>"Dad?!"
>"Who else?"
>The two embraced each other in a hug.
>Even if he didn't support her, Charlie still couldn't find it in her heart to hold a grudge against her dad, like he did with his own.
>"I didn't know you'd be coming here tonight, I would've had this whole place fixed up."
>"Don't worry, it's just as I imagined it."
>And there it was, that stuck up prideful attitude that Lucifer was famous for.
>"You see, I'm here because of a certain someone who I heard is taking residence here."
>"Angel Dust?"
>"The human" Lucifer's smile disappeared for a moment before returning.
>"How-"
>"Why I saw your girlfriend knock him out and stuff him in the back of a limo."
>"Wait a minute, she said he came willingly."
>Lucifer gave a chuckle
>"Charlie, you're a treasure you know? Humans, especially emotionally disturbed ones, are a hard crowd, they think the entire world is out to get them, he doesn't really hate you, hell he doesn't even know you exist I bet."
>A frown formed on Charlie's face, before she regained her confidence.
>"Well that'll change soon, once he knows we want to help he'll open up in no time."
>"Maybe, but before that, you've gotta let me do a quick check first. Your mother told you what I said right?"
-
>"So? He's got some issues, that's what this place is for Dad."
>"No Charlie, it's not like that at all, I sense a different kind of darkness within him, one that he doesn't control. And I want to study it to see what it exactly is."
>Just then, Charlie looked out and a look of horror dawned her face.
>"What's the matter Charlie?"
>"The limo"
>A group of exterminators were crowded around the limo, trying to break in.
>Charlie races last her father and down to the lobby.
>"Charlie, CHARLIE. As your father I- she's gone already."
>"Hey, you supposed to be her dad?" Asked Angel, sucking on a popsicle.
>"Yes?"
>"Now I can see where she gets her theatrical side from, not that it's bad or anything."
>Lucifer ran out after his daughter, while Angel Dust followed to, having been bored out of his mind and not giving a damn about the exterminators.

>Back at the car, things weren't looking good.
>Vaggie crawled out of the burning wreckage, just as it blew up.
>"ISAAC?"
>No response, other than a spear being chucked at her the exterminators.
>She took out her own spear and took a defensive stance, ready to defend herself.
>She ran towards one, leaping into the air and landing in front of it, impaling the robotic angel through its gut and kicking it back.
>Two more came towards her, at which point, Vaggie tossed one spear at one while charging towards another, both attacks hitting their mark.
>But behind her, another spear was thrown at her, the exterminator had a clear shot in font of it and threw the spear.
>Except, things went in slow motion, quite literally.
>Vaggie turned and saw the angel coated in a blue glow, going very slow.
>It's allies also noticed this and looked wearily at it, before his hid was shot clean off his mechanical body.
-
>Standing nearby, with his arm outstretched, with a canon like attachment on the palm, was Isaac.
>In his other hand, he now held a shotgun (Dead Space 3 shotgun, forgot its exact name)
>The exterminators turned their backs to Vaggie momentarily, ready to turn the engineer into a human pincushion.
>For 3 minutes, the sounds of gunfire and sparks flying echoed through the street, as Vaggie and Clarke figures die by side against the robots.

>Down another street, Charlie was drawing closer to the scene.
>Behind her, her father and Angel Dust were keeping a steady pace.
>"I can hear fighting, we're close."
>This further motivated Charlie to run faster.
>"CHARLIE, don't be reckless, you'll be impaled to a wall with that kind of behavior."
>"I don't think she cares about that king."
>"Do you want me to rip you apart and hang your lifeless husk from a lamppost like a piñata? Because I can have that arranged."
>"Alright geez."

>A cloud of smoke from the machines briefly blinded Vaggie.
>"Isaac, I think they're gone, the hotel should be close."
>Vaggie didn't get a response
>"Isaac?"
>"VAGGIE!!!"
>Charlie called out to her girlfriend, and the two were soon hugging as the other two figures approached.
>"Okay where is he?"
>Vaggie let go and looked around.
>"He was here a few seconds ago."
>"Hey I think I see him over there."
>Angel Dust pointed to the fleeing figure of a spaceman.
>He had just turned down another road and was running.
>The group wasted no time pursuing the man.

>Isaac was now running down another dark road.
>He heard the group behind him, but he didn't care.
>He wasn't going to waste his time at some hotel, not while the markers remained active.
>"Isaac, are you there?"
>Ellie spoke to Isaac through the com.
>The sounds of gunfire could be heard from the other side, along with the familiar growls and roses of necromorphs.
"Ellie, hows the situation"
>"Worse, half our group has died, but we're getting close to the shipping docks."
-
"Good lord"
>"ISAAC, COME BACK!!!!"
>Vaggie shouted, but Isaac kept going
>"Isaac who was that?"
"Just.....a friend I made down here, don't worry about it."
>"ISAAC!!"
>"You sure a-"
"Look, I'm on my way. I'm gonna check the place I landed when I arrived. Maybe I'll find a rift there or something."
>"Are you sure about this Clarke?"
"Do you have any better ideas?"
>"Not really."
"Then it's settled, just hold out a little bit longer."
>"We'll try, see you soon hopefully."
>Ellie hung up, Isaac found an open car and took it.
>Although he never drove a 21st century car, it didn't take him long to learn how to drive it.
>Now he was speeding off down the road, Charlie had just reached him using her demonic powers, but was too late.

>"WAIT"
>Charlie called out, but Isaac was too far gone for him to hear.
>Soon enough, the others joined her at the spot in the road.
>"So now what?" Angel questioned
>"We keep going, he's gonna get himself killed."
>"Even though he doesn't want your help, my dear daughter."
>"Well he wouldn't have wanted to speak to you either dad so shut up."
>Charlie's dad froze up
>For a moment, it looked as if Charlie was going to get the beating of her life.
>Instead Lucifer began clapping
>"That's my girl, being rebellious and angry like a true Magne."
>Lucifer summoned them a new limo, it came with it a driver and some armed guards.
>"Everyone get in, unless you want our human friend to be served at Rosie's cannibal restaurant."
>And so they all entered the car, Lucifer entered last and shut the door.
>"Vaggie and Charlie, please try not to get to intimate while we're all here please. Thank you."
>Vaggie ignored her future father in law as the limo sped off towards Isaac's direction.
-
>Back in the DS world, Ellie and a group of 65 survivors were hauled in an empty penthouse suite.
>Below them, 1000s of necromorphs swarmed around. Their roars reached up to the top of the suite.
>Those most heavily armed patrolled the perimeter of the temporary shelter.
>Ellie was in the bedroom, which served as the control center for the survivors.
>"So boss, how much longer are we staying here? We have a lot of injured civilians here that need medical attention ASAP."
>"A little while longer" replied Ellie.
>"What are we waiting for? We won't be able to hold them off forever. More and more come the longer we sit here. We're practically sitting ducks to them."
>"I said we wait. Isaac will come back and he'll help. In the meantime, we have to do whatever we can for the wounded. Check around for some medical supplies."
>"Copy that." The soldier walked off with some others.
>Ellie put her face in her hands.
>"Hurry back Isaac, we need you more than ever down here."
>Time was running out, above them in the now crimson sky, the brethren moons hovered above the city.
