"Heads up bitch!" Takeo exclaimed, using the axe blade on his guitar to cleave the zombies head clean off. Satisfied with his work, he kicked the body into a couple other zombies, and played a single chord, causing the axe blade to retract, and a broad, double edged sword blade to come out in it's place which he quickly used to decapitate the two flesh eaters. He then played another, softer note, retracting the blade into the instrument, making it look like an innocent guitar.

"Are you alright?" he said to the small frail-looking student who he'd just saved.

"Yes, thank you Kukai-Senpai." she said, climbing to her feet.

"Alright, I think that's the last of them, so go to your room, lock the door, and find something to defend yourself with." he told her. She nodded, and headed down the stairs, towards her room. Takeo continued down the hallway, checking the dorm rooms for zombies or survivors, but he found neither, and found himself on the top floor. He looked out the window.

He could see zombies everywhere, shuffling, moaning and hunting. Off in the distance, he could just make out the glowing field that had surrounded the school, shortly after the spell was cast, cutting of the students escape. He had been in his dorm room at that time, skipping class, and needless to say, jumped to action, clearing the building of the undead, and helping any survivors that hadn't already turned.

"I've got to find Hayashi-San..." He thought. "She's the only other one that will know what to do..."

With one broad swing, he shattered the window and jumped down onto a garbage dumpster.

"Alright." he said, steeling himself for whatever horrors that lie in his path. "Let's do this."

Airi jumped over a zombie, making him crash into a pot. "Too slow!" She said, slashing his head off with Yuj. Bandit was snugly on her shoulders as she flipped and spun. She slid under one and with a flick of her wrists, the zombie was halved completely.

"Go! I'll hold these morons back!" she called to the rest of the gardening club. The leader nodded and began leading his members out of the greenhouse through the other door. Airi revved Yuj and grinned. "Oh man, Bandy! This is gonna be fun!" She pulled out Juy, her other chainsaw and fixed her backpack that stored all of her weapons. Bandit slid into the bag while Airi ran forward with her saws, slicing and dodging.

Once away from the greenhouse, she saw the damage. "Oh my gods..." she gasped, flicking the blood off her beloved weapons. She grinned like the Cheshire Cat and stuck Juy into the ground. She reached into her bag and pulled out a popsicle. Unwrapping it with one hand, she stuck it in her mouth and pulled out Juy. She flicked on her mp3player and her favorite song, "Riot" started. "How fitting..." She grinned and ran into the hoard.

"Hey! Undead bitches! Come and get me!" the nearer ones came shuffling at her. She pulled out a grenade and unpinned it. She threw it into the hoard and watched them blow up. "Oh man. That never gets old..."

Lazarus blinked. He must've hit his head pretty hard, since he couldn't even see his hand in front of his face. He felt around on the ground, for his Baseball Bat, the paranoia growing inside of him by the milisecond. His breathing became harder, his eyes widened and he scrambled to his feet. He picked up his Bat and swung around, trying to figure out why he couldn't see a goddamn thing. He blinked a few times, then pulled out his iPod, illuminating the area.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?". Lazarus took a few steps forward, then tried pushing open the door to one of Yukkuri High's Sheds, which just happened to be all the way down the back of the School, where nobody would find him. He tried again, but the door wouldn't budge, so he improvised, thinking on his feet was something Lazarus could do, and he steadied himself, shaking off the fear that was gnawing at him.

*Thwack*

Laz stepped into the sunlight, basking in it's warm glowing brilliant... glow. That sounded kind of wrong to Lazarus, but to be honest, he didn't care. In any normal situation, he probably would have cared, but since this was odd, because you know, waking up in Sheds isn't normal for Laz, he was wondering why the heck, also how the heck, he'd been in there. Maybe it was one of his friends pranking him again? He'd have to get them back for that. He started off towards the main School Building, lost in his thoughts, when a student ran straight past him, screaming in fear. "I wonder what that was all about? Whatever, probably that crazy dude that eats live Badgers... wait, are there even Badgers in Japan?".

Laz booted open the door to one of the main Building and went inside, it was empty for some reason. He took a few steps and then noticed someone laying on the ground, twitching slightly and moaning. The hairs on the back of his head pricked up. He turned just in time to see something, or someone, try and grab him. His Baseball instincts kicked in. 'Focus on a point, hit and let it fly!'. And Laz did just that. With a rather loud whumping sound, his Bat ended its collision course with the persons skull, sending them off balance and stumbling. Now, Laz was an avid fan of horror movies, so he didn't stick around to ask them if they were okay, because if somebody tried to bite you, they probably weren't exactly 'okay'.



Laz stood outside the Building that he'd just come out of. It seemed like everyone at the School was either dead, dying, or undead. And not in the good way. What Laz would've given for a chance to have a cigare- Wait, he did! Laz sighed in relief, pulling out a lighter and a cigarette from his back pocket. The Teachers never really did search him, and Laz was pretty sure that they wouldn't search him now. He grinned as he inhaled the scent of nicotine and tobacco, but you know, the Chemicals were there too, which sucked. Luckily, he had his filter pack on him, and he was using one right now. 'One Filter for ten Cigs', the packet said.

"Well, let's assess the situation, shall we? The majority of my Schoolmates are dead, most have come back to life, the others are going to come back to life, and I'm sitting her smoking a Cigarette like nothing's wrong. The fuck, Laz?". He would've pondered into the situation more, but something broke the window behind him, gripping his shoulders. Laz grunted as his reflexed kicked in. He flipped forward, moreso he partially flipped, watching his assailant fly over him and land on the ground with a thud. Laz grinned and began doing what any perfectly sane preson would do. Or not.

Laz cracked the creatures skull again and again, a devillish smirk spreading across his face as the sadistic high overwhelmed him. The creature was obviously dead, but Laz wasn't done. Whacking and cracking sounds filled the area around, and soon enough a group of infected had gathered around, only maybe 3 or 4, but still enough to have some fun. Laz grinned, and ran at the nearest one. He spat burning cinders at it from his Cigarette, and handed it an uppercut from his Bat. The second one was booted into a nearby Dumpster and had it's face caved in. The others, well, they were just whacked in the face a few times.



Laz was breathing heavily, his high finally settling down into an emotionless void. He stood up, his hands still shaking. His eyes were grinning, but they eventually faded. He decided on another course of action, instead of wasting time like he'd wanted to do. He knew his Sister could take care of herself, so he decided to look for any other people that might be able to help, or be saved. "Just my luck to be stuck in this shithole without a full pack of cigarettes".

"That's the fourth one" Tenno whispered to himself as he shot another zombie in the eye. His father taught him to shoot for the heart or the eye to kill a man quick, but since the heart didn't work the eye was the only place left. Tenno was in the Gym at the time when undead burst in and tore everyone to shreds. He's been working his way to the teacher's office.

Seeing the radio on the desk, Tenno turned it to full blast and snuck out while the zombies were lured by the noise into the locker room. Sitting there waiting Tenno closed the Gym doors behind him to slow them down. The school was in complete anarchy. Tenno reloaded his gun, 19 shots remaining, and looked around the halls to the window. A trash can was next to it in a corner, he thew it against the window, shattering it. Carefully he checked behind him. Most of the zombies were pressed on their current victim but some were coming to him. Quickly he began free climbing down the side of the building.

10 minutes later he got to the ground. On his way down he saw a large explosion by where the green house was. Maybe his father had sent his men to help Tenno, the boy thought. At this sudden thought he began jogging to the area, soft footsteps, and zombie dodging.

"What-the-hell!"

Aika could only manage out between his ragged breathing, born from running down entire hallways, scurrying and down the flight of stairs that filled the academy...escaping from...what? Zombies? He strained his ears to listen for the inhumane moaning that was often accompanied by an...Undead, as the games he had been playing often described them. He tensed his back on the door before turning around and opening the door just a crack to peer out into the hallways. Not a single body in sight, living, dead or undead. He sighed in relief before closing the door and locked it. It took Aika a while to begin registering what had happened.

"....zombies? Like, seriously?" he thought out loud, absent-mindedly twirling a lock of his sideburn that had started curling from his sweat. He shrugged before reopening the door and stepping out. This hallway was surprisingly clean, compared to all the blood he had seen from the previous ones he had ran through.

"Wonder how zombies are here? Chemical outbreak? Secret government experiment? Some hoodoo voodoo, hocus pocus? " he asked no one in particular, walking down the hallway like a casual day at school...with no zombies. Turning the corner he was greeted with the overwhelming stench of rust and a gruesome sight of dead bodies sprawled all over the floor in pools of blood.

"Ugh..." Aika muttered to himself, eyes watering, covering his nose and mouth with a hand to block out the smell. He made his way towards the hallway slowly, careful not to slip over the pools of crimson liquid. While doing so he ignored the dead bodies, finding the walls more interesting.

'Wonder how blood got that far up the wall? ' he thought to himself, staring at a bloody smudge near the ceiling. The next thing he knew, he felt something grab hold of his ankle, and he freaked out, yelling loudly before turning around to stare at an undead pulling itself closer to Aika's leg. In his fear, he backed away quickly but slipped, splashing down on a pool of blood. Aika gasped, trying his best not to gag over the rusty smell while dragging himself down the hallway, along with his undead companion hanging onto his ankle.

"I don't even...! GET OFF ME!! You are not getting a taste of me!" he yelled at the zombie, trying to kick the undead into relinquishing it's hold on his ankle, surprisingly, it had a firm grip. Aika continued to drag himself down the hallway whilst preventing himself from being bitten. Whenever the zombie tried to bite Aika's leg, Aika kicked it back down with his other feet. Eventually, the zombie ended up chewing on Aika's sneakers.

"Those were my only shoes..." Aika groaned. But at least he could spare some time with the distraction. He needed something to use as a weapon. At least for the time being. Anything to knock this undead's head off. He recalled the layout of the school, to the left of the end of this hallway should be a fire extinguisher just at the corner. Aika dragged himself over, coating the floor with a trail of red liquid. Just as Aika reached the extinguisher, the undead seemed to have noticed that the sneaker was tasteless and was now moving for Aika's leg.

SMASH!

Aika panted, eyes wide with fear, as blood spurted from the zombie's crushed head. The fire extinguisher clanged onto the ground as he got up to his feet, trying to wipe his hands over his bloody uniform. With no choice, he used his hand to wipe a trace of blood away from his cheek, leaving a red mark there. Aika was lucky to have gotten away without being bitten. He glanced back at the hallway as the other bodies started stirring. More undead. He shook his head to clear his thoughts, sending drops of blood flying everywhere from his soft, green coloured hair, now caked with red from blood in several spots.

He ran for the stairs, he was on the 4th floor, and his target was to get to the ground floor then make his way to the dorm...or at least if he's the only one alive. Maybe he'd meet survivors?

Unluckily for him, a group of zombies were shambling over towards him from the bottom of the stairs. With a wall to his right, he looked to his left, the zombies from the bloody hallway had already risen and moaning at him. Trapped. His only choice... Aika looked at the windows behind him. If he had remembered the layout properly...then there was an entire row of flower beds that could possibly soften his fall...from a 4 storey building. He looked back at the undead.

"...heck. " he crashed into the windows and spread his arms wide to slow his fall. If he had to choose between being slowly eaten to death or a swift fall to hell...the fall it is then. It was too fast though. Before he knew it, Aika crashed into the flower bed and curled up in pain,tears in his eyes. He hissed in pain as he gingerly cradled his wrist. His entire body hurt, but his wrist hurt the worst. He tested it by moving it, but it seemed unresponsive. So there he was... concealed deep within flower beds that had somehow kept him alive despite a 4 storey fall and suffering a broken wrist. With his uniform entangled amongst the branches and a broken wrist that Aika wished not to aggravate any further, he stayed there in a fetus position, hoping someone would find him. Someone that was still alive of course...and not undead.

The undead swarmed around their targets last known location. The young man seeking refuge inside the teachers lounge had attempted to bar the doors but to no avail. The horde was too thick and he had neither the time nor the interest in wrestling with the hungry ghouls at that kind of a distance to force the issue. The fight had spilled into the room, the teen being forced to use everything and anything around him as a weapon. Chairs, tables, office equipment and finally his own fists. The sounds of his shouting and cursing as he battled on could be heard outside as he fought on. Then a mighty roar of exertion and the wall came caving in as a portion of the counter top was hurled through it. Undead bodies imploded through the hole along with the massive projectile. Their bodies crushed to pieces from the chaos of the attack. Only one still moved. It's lower half pinned under the debris. It slowly lurched it's torso up as its intended target stepped through the hole he'd just made.

"Don't you fuckers ever just die?"

Sam asked before kicking the zombie hard in the forehead. The blow shot it's head back to smack on the hard floor, blood oozing from the wound it created. The big American was breathing heavy from exertion but was safe for now. Everything around him was dead, really dead. He glanced around to be sure of that before breathing out a sigh of relief. Allowing himself to catch his breath even if it was just for a moment. He looked up just as he heard a window crash. He watched in horror as one of his classmates hurled themselves out of a fourth floor window only to find an unceremonious landing zone in a bed of flowers. Sam ran to the window he was looking out of from the ground floor.

"Shit, they're still alive!"

He said aloud in shock. Part of him new the smart choice would be to leave him. Ignore it and keep moving. It would be the smart thing to do. Sam pondered his options for all of a few seconds before sprinting to the nearest exit.

"Ah fuck me."

He cursed at himself as he kicked the door in and charged outside. There was three zombies slowly shambling to the downed body of Sam's classmate. They never stood a chance. The fist connected with the back of the undead skull with such force Sam felt bone crack beneath his fist. The body went limp instantly as it went flying forward only to come to a stop after skidding across the grass. The second ghoul noticed his presence now and turned. One of it's hands extended, reaching for him. It's ghastly hands grasping for his throat. What it received instead however was a quick punch to the temple before being lifted off the ground and hurled through the air before smashing into the wall. It's skull cracking from the impact. The final zombie was fixated on the downed student. It was almost on him now. It loomed over the teen, it's soulless, lifeless eyes wide with unending hunger. It's blood covered hands nearing it's target. It's jagged, ruined teeth gnashing in starvation. Suddenly a handful of the zombies hair was seized from behind before it was slammed backwards onto the ground.

"Eat this you piece of shit!"

Sam said before curb stomping the creatures head in with one savage blow. With the zombies brains and blood all over his sneakers Sam turned to the student and was shocked to see he recognized him.

"Holy shit! Aika?!"

Shepard said in surprise as he reached down and helped the classmate to his feet. Chinen Aika and Sam Shepard sat beside each other in the same World Literature class. While the two teens weren't best of friends, hanging out and getting drunk every weekend they were friendly enough. The two spoke and even shared a joke or two in class every once in a while but the friendship really never went past that. Through no fault of either boy it was merely just one of those things. Sam helped the boy up and noticed he was clutching his wrist.

"Ah shit man ya break it? I saw you jump out of that window. I'm surprised your not dead bro."

"Well, this place has gone to Hell quickly. It's almost as if this was planned... Well shit, that... no, couldn't have been planned. Maybe it was just a freak occurance, yeah. That's probably it..... Although I can't really complain, since.... yeah...". Laz rubbed his forehead, tossing his Cigarette onto the body of the corpse nearest to him. He was pretty sure that it was dead, and he had nothing in his view for now. He decided to do something useful for once. He started up the stairs, glancing around occasionally to see if their were any threats, and he looked out of the window nearby just in time to see somebody fling themselves out, and land unceremoniously on the flower beds below. Laz thought they would've been fine, but decided that, considering the fact that he wasn't moving, he probably wasn't.

Laz was about to go and help the Student when someone else beat him to it. It was that Football Star... Erm... "Ah shit, what's his name.... Sam... Sam...... Shepard? Sam Shepard, I think it is". Lazarus glanced down at the two, and remembered what he was really here for. He looked around, then had an idea. He had her number, so why not call her and see if she picked up. Laz pulled out his phone, dialed her number and let it ring.

*Ring, Ring, Ring*

"Hurry up".

*Ring, Ring Ring*

"Dammit, Pick up, you idiot".

*Ring, Ring, Ring*

"Fuck. Great. If she comes back as a motherfucking zombie I'm gonna beat her up for it". Laz stomped in anger as he pocketed his phone and continued to search the Building. He'd catch up with Sam and the other guy later, but he really did have more important things to do. He racked his brains, thinking of people he coud try and find, but two people stuck out. One was his best friend, and the other was his sister. Both of them could handle themselves, easily. After all, his Sister trained with him and his bestie was an awesome Tennis Player, so they should both be fine though. He took a few steps slowly, listening for any sounds aside from his own, and when he decided he was sufficiently safe, he bolted around the rooms, opening doors in a frenzy, and eventually ended up on the roof. He panted, slightly out of breath. He felt good, since he knew that he'd be able to excape from things easily, after all, he was used to bolting as fast as he could. He looked up, noticing the smoke coming from the Greenhouse, and he double-checked on the figures below him. They still seemed to be there.

He sighed and turned as he heard footsteps behind him. He sighed again when he realised it was just another student, this one happened to be alive though. Laz eyed him suspiciously, and the student spoke. "I just... wanted to give you this. I think it belongs to you or a friend of yours, since you called it earlier". Lazarus' breath caught in his throat, and he coughed loudly to get himself started. "T-Thanks, gimme". He practically tore the boys hands off when he grasped for the phone and brought it up to his face to examine it better. 'Bloodstains on it, broken button, but this is definitely her phone. Fuck it all'. Lazarus sighed and pocketed the phone, thanking the student and taking his leave. He practically ran down the flights of stairs, and booted the door open. It was funny, he'd already done that twice today. He then kept on searching. If he couldn't find his friend, he at least wanted to find her body.

"Well shit, I've got a lot of ground to cover. This is gonna take ages. And then I need to find Sis...". Lazarus started up his search in the next room, and he could keep a good eye on the two students sitting in the flower garden from here too. He got to the third floor alright, and it was then that he started encountering those dead-brained fucktards. Of course, Laz was fine with this, causing havoc and having fun all at once. He was actually surprised when he booted one of the zombies out of the window, since: A, he didn't expect that, and B, he probably scared the shit out of the students on the flower bed. He walked past a wall, and then realised something. "Fuck, is this?". Lazarus opened the door to his classroom, expecting the worst. It's exactly what he got.

Dead bodies everywhere, some fully dead, others shuffling around randomly. Well, until Laz opened the door, that was. He hefted his Baseball Bat up towards his chest, and stepped into the room. There were 3 or maybe 4 Infected, and that would be a little bit challenging. One shuffled towards him, and he gave it a good face-palming with the tip of his bat. Kind of like a Lance, really. He grinned as another leaped at him, and he smacked it sideways, but it didn't fall, so Laz booted it in the gut happily, followed by a classic Bat-uppercut. The third zombie came for him, and he tripped it over, booting it in the face repeatedly. He sighed as it was over, and looked at the mass of dead bodies aroud him. His eyes fell on one of his friends, and he coughed back tears. He crouched down, and pulled off their necklace. He stood, fastening it around his own neck.

"Well.... Fuck, I need to find my sister and get the fuck out of here. Pronto".

Lazarus left the room, shutting the door behind him. He had one thing to do, and that was see if those two others were still on the flower beds. He left the building feeling sombre, downhearted and depressed.

"Don't worry Jake, you'll be missed. Dearly".



Lazarus exited the building and made his way over to the flower bed, a lit cigarette in his mouth, and the necklace glinting brightly in the rays of the sun. He arrived at the flower beds and sat down. Taking another puff of his cigarette and laying down. "Fuck".

The greenhouse was to thick with "them" to be even approached so Tenno tried another route. Closely hugging to the side of the building he slowy crouched down, beginning to walk silently. Eventually he came to a corner where he took a small face mirror out of his pocket to angle it around the corner. There were 3 zombies to the wall, in his way and 2 out in the open.

"Gotta love vanity" whispered to himself with a smile. He started to sprint with his jackknife pulled out. The 1st zombie he grabbed it's shirt, forcing down, put his knife into its eye. The 2nd zombie almost fell on him but Tenno bashed his forearm against it's neck, grabbed the left arm, turned to it's back where he grabbed the head with his biceps to chin to avoid a bite, and snapped it's neck. The 3rd was slower and Tenno took out his pistol to pistol whip it on the side of it's head. The other to were alerted though Tenno took no time to fight them, insted he just ran.

Reloading another clip into his gun he saw the garden beds. "At least I can find a new weapon" he spoke to himself. Getting to the fence he quickly pulled off one of the shorter, smaller but thicker posts to use as a weapon. Sniffing the air he smelled smoke. Look around he saw a kid laying on the ground smoking. Tenno stood over the kid with his left hand on his knife, right on his gun and said "You seem pretty chill laxed for whats going on?"

Aika's eyes snapped open when he felt strong hands grip him. He thought he was done for, but after realizing he was being lifted up and pulled back to his feet did he remember that zombies didn't have such immense strength...at least these ones didn't. He looked up at his savior with watery eyes, still cradling his wrist as if it was a newborn child. THANK GOD, there was someone else alive besides him! Oh... although Aika often saw people as blurry images, there was no mistaking the large, bulky person in front of him.

"Ah shit man ya break it? I saw you jump out of that window. I'm surprised your not dead bro."

"Hey Sam...I think so. " Aika tried to move his hand again, this time it moved a little but hurt like hell. Then he glanced up at the broken window. "I'm surprised I made it too."

He nodded at the flowers. "Gotta thank Mother Nature." Upon surveying the dead undead littered around them, Sam must've helped him while he was incapacitated by the pain. That was when he noticed that he wasn't wearing his 'spectacles'. He pulled them out with his good hand and put them on. Instantly, his vision was blurred.

"Thanks. " he thanked the larger guy, knowing fully well they both knew what he was being thankful for. He then pointed at his 'spectacles', using the broken glass as an excuse.

"Lead me. I'll follow. Broken specs make it harder for me to walk around. " he said matter-of-factly, before smiling brightly. He caught the stench of cigarette smoke and wrinkled his nose before making his way over to the source of the smoke.

"Sam...is there someone here that's smoking? Or is it you? " he twisted his head around to look at the blurry figure of Sam. "But you're there...and I smell it coming from here...what...?" he looked back in front of him and stumbled, falling flat on his face. The fall jarred his wrist and he cried out before curling up into a ball. After the initial pain had subsided, he got up and felt around in front of him. He touched someone's shoes and looked up. Though his vision was blurry, he was pretty sure this guy was very much alive, like the rest of them...and smoking.

"Hey there. Sorry you had to see that. I'm pretty clumsy most of the time. " Aika told the person with a care-free smile.

Sam turned along with Aika at the scent of the cigarette from behind them. This guy was casually puffing away on as he relaxed, covered in the blood of God knows how many zombies he must've killed on the way here. Sam couldn't help but smile as yet another survivor came out of one of the doors carrying a handgun and a pen knife. The guy smoking Sam had never seen but the one with the gun Sam had met only once. Tenno Fugao was a pretty cool guy. Sam and Tenno had met at a party earlier this year. One of the guys got pretty drunk and was causing a scene. Once he smacked one of the girls Tenno and Sam hurled him into the street on his ass. The two shared a beer or two after that but never really hung after that. Sam was happy to see the guy. Tenno seemed from the one time encounter to be the kinda guy Sam would want having his back in a brawl. With a zombie apocalypse apparently coming down around them Sam could use someone he could rely on. Sam helped Aiko to his feet for a second time before taking a step towards Tenno with a smile.

"Hey Tenno, friend of yours? Glad to see we're not the only ones who're still alive."

Sam asked in reference to this guy smoking all the while happy to see the familiar face as he extended a hand to shake Fugao's.

Airi was heading away from the main hoard when she heard voices.

"Hey there. Sorry you had to see that. I'm pretty clumsy most of the time. "

"Hey Tenno, friend of yours? Glad to see we're not the only ones who're still alive."

Bandit hopped off her shoulder and took off towards them. "Ah, shit, Bandy." she muttered, sticking Juy, still covered in blood back into the bag and pulled out another popsicle. She stuck the orange flavored stick into her mouth and followed her wayward cat.

When she turned the corner, there were about 4 guys, one laying, one sitting and the other two standing. Bandit was rubbing against the largest one, purring. She rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue. Bandit came back and hopped back up onto her shoulder. He rubbed his head against her cheek as a sorry.

"Hi there. So there are capable people in this mess... I'm actually quite glad to see this..." she rested Yuj on her shoulder and bit down on the icy treat. She was covered in blood, as was Bandit. "So, anyone got an idea of what's going on out there or are we all clueless out here..? Never a good thing..."

Before Tenno had a chance to speak Sam noticed a soft, pressure at his foot. He looked down to see an adorable siamese cat rubbing itslef against his leg with a joyful purr before trotting back to it's master a few steps away. The big teen chuckled at the cat as he turned watching it make it's way to it's owner. His eyes widened in surprise and despite what Sam might have intended a big stupid grin made it's way on his face as he looked at the cat's owner. A pretty young girl with pixie like features and black blueish hair and deep blue eyes. Her cheek was marred only by the blood of others and a few bandaids that only added to the character of her features. Besides the blood the school girl clothes were suplemented with headphoones, dogtags but and oddly enough a unique looking chainsaw. Sam couldn't help but fall in love for the next thirty seconds.

"Woah... Zombie Apocalypse aside it's not every day you meet a cute girl with a chainsaw and an awesome cat. Hi, I'm Sam."

He said casually as he took a few steps closer, his grin seeminlgy glued to his face. Sam usually wasn't so hopeless when talking to girls but this girl got him girnning like an idoit and there wasn't a whole hell of a lot he could do about it.

"So how about we make a battle plan." Tenno said as he nudged his gun to attention. "Rest of my ammo is in the principles office but I don't know how we can get up there that well. I've got 19 shots left, but does anyone know where to go?" His father had given him losaction of a safehouse in town in case of an emergency, like a rival gang coming to town.

"Hey guys," Tenno said out loud to no one in particular "I know about a safe house my family owns in the city that was meant for me in case of...old enemies coming to town. I think this is a reason to go there. There's most likely more of those things in town so I don't want to go alone. Who's in?"

Airi smiled at the large teen. "Why, hi there Sammy boy. Name's Airi." she winked though on the inside, she was swooning. The guy lacked nothing in the looks department at all. She knew that Kukai-sempai was out there, surrounded by deadly zombies but come on, girl's gotta have options!

"Hey guys," Tenno said out loud to no one in particular "I know about a safe house my family owns in the city that was meant for me in case of...old enemies coming to town. I think this is a reason to go there. There's most likely more of those things in town so I don't want to go alone. Who's in?"

"Sounds cool. I need to head back to my place for a tactical retreat, got lots of cool guns and shit... But we should check for more survivors. Get as many people out then blow the place up. Keep most of them busy and let the others leave. I've dealt with the undead before but never this many... We should eliminate as many as possible..." she told Tenno, she knew the teen in passing. Mostly just head nods back and forth.

Bandit meowed in agreement before he hopped back down and hissed. There were a couple zombies coming at them "Well, looks like we got company~" she sang out, revving Yuj with a grin. "Inaction is my biggest dislike!" she charged and rammed the chainsaw into one and flung him into the greenhouse with a wide arch, blood making a rainbow over her.

Sam was on her heels, quick to back her up as the zombies lumbered towards the group. The first he took down fell quickly. A quick punch to the temple before his head was crushed under Sams shoe. No sooner had the blood sprayed the grass had a ghastly hand grabbed Shepards shoulder. The big teen whirled and seized hold of the zombie before hurling him into the crowd like it was weightless. The body collided with its fellows toppling three in one shot.

"Damn, i could use a weapon right now."

Sam said more to himself than anyone else before he attacked the next nearest ghoul. He hit it hard with a punch to the gut that literally took it off its feet. Shepard followed up by grabbing a firm hold of it before smashing its skull on the floor.

Tenno wasn't about to just let Sam get ganged up on by zombies. He walked ahead to them pistol in his right hand set on his left forearm to steady. He took 2 shots to kill a zombie behind Sam. "Sam take that fence post I just tore off, it's right next to the bum smoking!" Right after saying that Tenno shot another round at a zombie 2 meters from his left in it's third eye.

Airi jumped over a zombies, legs spread and chainsaw the ground. She sliced through the head and landed in an crouch. She ran at two zombies that wanted Tenno for lunch. "Watch your back, Ten-Ten, or I'll do it for ya!" she quickly dispatched one before throwing their carcasses at the other one, knocking him back. She jumped on its chest and dug Yuj into its face. She revved the engine and watched with sick fascination as it exploded. She turned the volume up on her music and the stragglers came after her. She sliced and hacked to the song, singing as she went.

As the last of the mini hoard re-died, she finished her popsicle and grinned. "Well, that was fun~" she sang out, turning her music back down.

Sam was punching in the skull of a zombie when Tenno called out to him.

"Sam take that fence post I just tore off, it's right next to the bum smoking!"

Sam turned to look a grinned at the sight of the simple metal fence post.

"You're tha man Fugao!"

He said as he ran over and picked up the simple yet effective metal implement. Sam lifted it up and turned redy to crush some skulls only to see that the remaining zombies were all already dead, laying around the grass near Tenno and Airi. His shoulders slumped in disapointment as he frowned slightly.

"Figures..."

Sam grumbled before walking up to the others. Airi was playfully fininshing her popsicle as she adjusted her music. Sam couldn't help but be captivated. He felt like a damn puppy around her. It was really quite sad but Sam was loving it. As he stared his grin returned but at least this time he was able to try and reign it in, at least somewhat.

"Well, that was fun~"

She sang aloud. Sam chuckled and shook his head.

"Gosh she's cute...

"Son of a bitch!" Takeo yelled, backing up from a persistent flesh-eater, with a surprisingly thick skull. "You scratched!" he yelled again, smashing the zombie in the face with his weapon. "My fucking!" he yelled, continuing to bash the zombie's brains in. "GUITAR!" he finished, the annoying undead laying on the ground, it's head now a fine paste. Satisfied with himself, he brushed zombie grey matter off of the arm of his jacket, slinging the guitar over his shoulder.

He had been to the parking lot, and rescued a couple survivors there, after which he went to the pool, but he didn't enter, because of the high volume of zombies, and he didn't want to face that many of the walking dead without back up. He was now making his way to the greenhouse.

He was walking fairly briskly strumming a tune on the ol' zombie killer when he spotted a group, flag-shipped by what he recognized as Hayashi-san's trademark blue hair. With her, he saw Sam Shepard, an American exchange student who he'd partied with a couple of time, and had taken quite a liking to, and Aika Chinen, a rather ditzy boy who he'd shared a couple classes with. He also noticed two other boys that he didn't recognize right away.

"So Hayashi-San, I see you've put together quite a merry bunch of zombie slayers." he said, approaching the group with a grin.

"So Hayashi-San, I see you've put together quite a merry bunch of zombie slayers."

Airi grinned at Kukai and saluted him. "Yo, Ku-ku! Nice to see you're still breathing!" Bandit walked over to him and began to purr. "Bandy missed ya as much as I did!" she set Yuj on the ground and looked at her little group that had she inadvertently gathered. "As for my merry band of zombie slayers, well, they're not pro but damn, are they close enough! A couple weeks under our training and they'd be as good as us, even better, maybe!" The song "Envy Catwalk" played as an undertone to her words.

"So, any idea on what this shit over there is? If not, then we're blasting this place after some evac and destroying! Cause I love my grenades~" she sang, holding one of them in her hands and pressing a kiss to its blue exterior. "And then we're outta here because I hate these damn things... Hoped I never see another and look! They come in hoards! My luck's fucking amazing!" Bandit gave a agreeing meow from his new perch on Kukai's shoulders.

"Anyways, Ten-ten there's gotta bunker we can hide out in for a couple days but you know zombies... We're gonna have to keep moving... Then I thought we'd stop at my house. I know Asher's dying to tear some of these things a new one. Plus I got that flame thrower that I know someone'll wanna play with~" She told the other hunter, grinning.

"So Hayashi-San, I see you've put together quite a merry bunch of zombie slayers." he said, approaching the group with a grin.

Tenno looked at the guy coming toward them. Could always use one more he thought to himself. "Your just in time " he told the other student. It was time for him to speak his mind.

"Listen up guys." he addressed the group. "We can't just sit here out in the open or we'll be swarmed." Tenno turned to the woman with the chainsaw. "You said you have somewhere to go in town right? So we can all head out to her place for the night and plan our next course of action. So, where is this haven your talking about?"

"Sorry, but I don't think that's gonna happen buddy, that's a barrier." he said, gesturing toward the small glitch in the air that made and odd buzzing motion, signifying the invisible wall."But..." he continued, "If we can find the barrier rune, then we can release the seal, and the barrier will be gone. I'm just puzzled as to how this happened. Some one would have to have a lot of knowledge of the occult to cast a spell like this...it makes me wonder if it might have been one of the teachers." he said. "Anyway, it's good to know that we're not the only ones who can hold our own against these walking corpses. I just wish that my brothers, or someone higher up from the order was able to get here before the barrier went up." he said to Airi. "Oh, I almost forgot! Are you alright? Is anyone else injured?"

Airi grinned and pointed west. "That way! We'll have to pass through the main hoard in the front of the school but that should be easy." She started towards the entrance of the school, whistling. Anytime a zombie got near her, she flicked the chainsaw their way and pop, those the head. Bandit followed, deftly avoiding the little zombie bits that littered the ground.

When she saw the main hoard again, she sighed. "My poor clothes..." she muttered before she turned behind her and pulled out a popsicle. "At this rate, I'll run out before I get home..." she munched on the ice, waiting for the others to ahead of her and fight. She wanted to see what they're made of.

Her eyes roved over the hoard, picking out the best course of action to get out and she charged. She sliced through the weaker ones with ease, and dodged the larger ones. She had to backflip to avoid getting a new hole in her shoulder. "Shit! Boys! A little help here!"

Sam saw Takeo and was happy to see him. Takeo and him have partied a few times and the guys were pretty good friends. He was glad that he'd survived. Unfortunately he stopped listening when he noticed the distortion in the air. Unbenounced to Sam this magical barrier was all but impenterable. That was information he could have used before his attempt. While the others were talking Sam's hands were on the barrier in amazement.

"Woah... It's like a forcefield... I bet I can..."

He muttered to himself as he took a few big steps back. After taking a couple deep breathes to amp himself he charged at it, using his body like a battering ram just like he'd done so many times on the football field. Unlike sacking a quarterback however the forcefield didn't budge. Sam threw his body into the magical barrier only to be rebounded off it, flying backwards into the grass. He groaned and sat himself up in shock.

"Well shit... That didn't work worth a damn."

Sam almost missed the others take off for an exit. He rushed after them just in time to hear Airi ask for help. A metal fence post was the reply she recieved. He tee'd off on the nearest zombie. It's head imploding on the wall. Shepard turned and smacked the base of it in another face before crushing its skull with a downward swing like he was splitting wood. He kicked a third in the chest sending it flying back before splitting a fourths skull open with a quick swing. One lunged for him only to be shoved off before Sam gripped up it's shiirt collar and tossing it away like it was a rag doll.

"Is it bad I'm starting to enjoy this?"

Sam asked aloud with a laugh.

Takeo looked at Sam dumbstruck, as he charged head-on into the barrier. He had to fight to keep back his laughter as the boy felt the impact of force field in full force as he was thrown backward. To be fair, he had never encountered such a thing before, and Takeo had actually done the exact same thing the first time he'd seen one. He also found it a bit odd that no one had questioned their being zombie hunters, but he was sure it wasn't very hard to believe now that the walking dead were...walking. His thought process was interrupted by Airi's call for help, and he quickly obliged. He strummed a chord on his guitar, and a long thin blade came out of the end, wich he stabbed into the nearest zombie. He strummed on the chords violently, and the guitar sent vibrations through the blade wich caused the zombie to explode messily. He brought out the guitar's axe blade and continued to hack away at the hoard.

"Is it bad I'm starting to enjoy this?" Sam said, with a laugh. Takeo grinned.

"Now you're starting to think like a zombie hunter!"
