Rio: Return of the Infection Part 1

Placeholder Chapter 1: Finding the Key
Throughout the large structure known as the infection facility, the middle of the building was collapsing in on itself.

 As a support beam suddenly fell to the ground, a young orange macaw quickly dodged the large object as he proceeded to find the key to the transport that would take them to the upper levels. As Jesse reloaded his Famas assault rifle, he quickly jumped over a guard and shot him in the head, and then he scorched another one be shooting fire at him with his free wing.

 Jesse increased speed, knowing that Patrick and Tony wouldn't last much longer. Then, Jesse spotted the room.

 Jesse: I found it!

Jesse pressed a button on the comlink that was resting comfortably on his head while he entered the room, and found the key: now, this key is not like a car key, for it was a medium sized, bright green cylinder with no openings on it. As Jesse exited the room with the key, he suddenly heard the voice of his best friend Patrick.

 Patrick: Jesse! You’re online! Did you find the key?!

Jesse: Yeah, I got it! I'm on my way now!

Patrick: Sweet! Get over here as soon as possible, as soon as that key is installed, WE ARE LEAVING!!

Jesse turned off his comlink and put his rifle on his back. He quickly jumped in the air and used his fire to launch himself to the others like a rocket. As he made it into the clearing, he found himself on a five foot wide bridge, with Tony and Patrick down below, still in the speeder and holding their ground. The speeder itself was sort of shaped like a backwards missile, eight thrusters (four big and four small) were in the back, and while the passenger compartment was in the front, the pilot seat was in the back, being separated by a large ring.

As Jesse jumped off the bridge to the speeder down below, he made a quick, but not very graceful landing. As soon as he got to his feet, he scrambled into the speeder, tossed Patrick the key and sat next to Tony. As Patrick put the key into the ignition that was right in front of him, the speeder was started and was beginning to fly out of the building. Tony, who was still mute from before, reloaded his suppressed m110 as a flash of John's face appeared in his head. Tony sighed, still sad of his best friend and roommate’s passing, and put his rifle on his back.

Soon enough, the speeder exited the building, and was now being guided to the top by Patrick. Tony looked to the large city of Beirut Lebanon, and slowly formed a smile as he looked at all the flashing city lights; Jesse was smiling too, for he also loved the sight of the city. As the speeder eventually reached the near top, Gunfire suddenly took the air; Patrick looked to see a trooper with a minimi 249 shooting at them, and then looked to the bottom of the craft to see three of the thrusters on fire. As Patrick saw the gunner run out of ammo, he quickly turned the craft to face the gunner as the speeder began to drop; just as the gunner reloaded the rifle, the speeder crashed through the wall.

As the speeder's passenger compartment separated itself from the pilot compartment, the passenger compartment began to slide down a large track that led somewhere below. Meanwhile, Patrick was still on the same floor as the pilot compartment suddenly slid off the edge and began to fall to the unknown floor below. The last thing that Tony could see before the passenger compartment hit the wall and knocked him out was Patrick's fear-filled face falling to the ground below.
