masterofgunfuGraduation day at the Academy of the Order of Merciful Aid and Andrea and Sharon both stand proud as they inspect each other's dress uniform. Twelve years they've been friends, inseparable since that day when Sharon had helped Andrea after the bully and his gang beat her up for the last time. Andrea looks up at her best friend and smiles. "This is it!"
"Yeap, we're going to have to be respectable now," Sharon replies fixing Andrea's collar.
"Only while on duty," Andrea quips.

Months later and Andrea is looking over the desert valley she grew up in. The sun is barely past the hills and she has already stashed several caches of weapons and ammo about the valley floor. She scents the wind but all is quiet. One thing about her Aunt's pack has not changed, they always were late risers. Time to wake them up. She shifts and howls her challenge to the ground (about a minute into the clip). It takes a few minutes before there is any sign of movement down below. Pathetic.
Three hours later, Andrea watches a cloud pass over the sun. "We're free now, Mom," she says to the wind as the crows wing in for the feast she has laid out for them.
Suddenly, the loupes are there and charging. Two bowl into Sharon, sending her down an embankment, but Andrea dodges the two that try the same thing with her. She spins and fires, her pistols on semi-automatic. She nearly severs the neck of the first and the back of the head of the second caves in. Regaining her feet, she rushes to the edge of the embankment calling out, "Sharon are you there? Report!"
When she reaches the embankment, she sees the two loupes fighting over the seemingly dead Sharon. Andrea takes both out with shots to the eyes. Her tears do nothing to her aim.
She turns to the ranch house to search it, finding another loupe they hadn't known about and is in the process of calling in the local law enforcement what Sharon jumps into the building in a shower of broken glass. Snarling and twisted by the Lyc-V virus, Andrea doesn't need a lab to know her friend has gone loupe. She goes down with her childhood best friend chewing on her left shoulder. She doesn't even blink while she puts twenty-four bullets in Sharon's head at point blank range, but she does lay there beneath the dead weight as the tears rolls down her cheeks into her ears.

A few years later and Sharon and Andrea are in Texas, storming the ranch of a suspected loupe pack. There are believed to be four of them and the two knights trip over the evidence of the pack's atrocities as they make their cautious way in. Suddenly one of the bodies starts whimpering and crying. Startled the two swing their guns at the sounds before realizing it's what's left of a woman, her arms and legs gnawed off and the light of madness in her eyes. It would be a mercy to kill her, but the shot would alert the loupes. Sharon kneels and ends the woman's suffering with a knife.Suddenly, the loupes are there and charging.
