The Dark Tunnel

"Alright, girls, listen up. You too, August." John called out.

"What is it, John? Are we going somewhere?" August asked.

"Yes. We're going for a hunt. We need to learn to coordinate and combine our abilities."

John glanced at the group, their expressions a mix of curiosity and excitement.

"Our base needs to be fortified even further, unless..." he paused, taking in their reactions.

"Unless you're okay with becoming Theodore's grunts and slaves."

"I'd rather die," Stephanie retorted, her arms folded and a scowl marring her beautiful features.

"Yeah, me too," Julian agreed, a hand resting on the handle of his long sword.

"Alright. Let's get going, then."

The group, which consisted of John, August, Julian and all the girls minus Mika, headed towards the entrance of an underground tunnel. It was a tunnel that diverted traffic from the main boulevard, but now in the apocalypse, it was a monster nest.
