Sage leapt for the fifth or sixth rung and her feet scrambled to get purchase as she climbed mainly using her arm strength. But the closest undead hooked his hand around her ankle and bit onto the back of her calf hard. A yell left her and she swung her foot down, unlatching its teeth and breaking its neck clean in half from the force. Luckily, her pants were thick and the bite would only bruise severely. Its hand kept its grip and she kicked her foot quickly, breaking its fingers off. Its body crumpling to the floor as they others tried to climb on top of the body, trying to get a boost further up.<br/>Sage didnt give them the time to get her a second time and quickly pulled herself up to the first platform. Pants coming from her as she collapsed onto the first platform, slowly pushing herself up onto her feet and looking up the next set of stairs. This time, there was no more platforms and only a ladder that led straight up into the thick fog. Starting to feel the affects of the lack of oxegyn, she could barely get her orders out as she was struggling just to breathe. "Go..no more..platforms..break a window and climb in." she wheezed out orders. "I'll cover you," she said and motioned for him to hurry up. Her lenses had been fogged up for some time and she was too exhausted to try to get the fog out. Taking the shotgun off her back again, she froze in a cold fear as she felt vibrations. Looking over the side of the platform, the zombies were figuring out the joy of climbing as their loud moans called more of their 'pals' over. The echo rebounding against the may buildings around them and drowning out any other sounds they could possibly hear. Taking a random shot at the first one on the ladder, its brains flew in every direction as its head was blown apart.<br/>Several of the pellets traveled into the next rotter behind it and its arm was blown off. It stumbled and the thing that scared her the most was when the platform started to squeal and creak as the undead tried to tear it down with her on it. To them, there was never a 'hard way' of doing things. Quickly glancing to the left side of the platform, she saw a bolt wiggle loose of its hole and her stomach dropped into her stomach. If she didnt get up that ladder now, she was going down and she doubted she would make it out without sustaining any threatening wounds.<br/>Glancing up as she heard the shatter of a window, she hoped he would hurry.
