This was a fun story I wrote for a fan page, enjoy!
The two girls sat on the rooftop building, staring down at death itself. One sat upright built with a slim figure and long purple hair. The other one was resting calmly on the floor with her brownie locks wrapped around her.
It was just them at the moment, out to gather supplies for the group. Sitting at the very edge analysing their current situation; it was getting harder to search for supplies. With most of their searching grounds being blocked by "them" or the whole fact that most people took what they could in the first days.
Screams of pain and agony echoed through the confined streets of Japan. They didn't react to the horror; they chose to embrace it, so that it motivated them.
No one could out run death, no matter how strong or weak you were. The end of the world allows you to discover your strengths and more importantly your weaknesses. However In the end, everyone has their limits.
The terrified people below ran left and right across the street, but no matter what they did they still came face to face with death. It was one huge massacre below them; they were above it like they always were.
The brunette looked up at her companion. "Is it time?"
After a moment of hesitation the dark haired beauty replied, "Wait a little longer, then our bloodbath will begin."
With a forced smile that showed the fear that they both felt Rei turned to Saeko. "That's what I've been waiting for."
After a painful wait, in which the remaining few survivors were torn to unrecognisable pieces, it was finally time. The time to go and spill the rotten blood from the diseased bodies of the living dead.
"Which way should we go?" The brunette casually asked, as if the mere sights were of none importance.
A purple head was lifted to face her partner. "It looks like we have the element of surprise, let's go through the alleyway and take them out silently." With the words being said she made her way into the building.
Rei who still standing in her original place, looked off to the alleyway then scoffed. "You weren't always one for attention where you Saeko?" And then followed her into the building and headed for the stairs, only to find that Saeko was two floors ahead of her.
"Hey, what did you do jump your way down?" She teased her comrade as she grabbed her gun and made haste down the stairs.
"I hope that you are not planning on shooting with that, I don't want to make noise this early in a fight." Saeko called from below; her footsteps elegantly reaching the tiled floor allowing no sound to escape around her.
Rei thought that Saeko could always be so deathly quiet whenever she wanted to.
She didn't like that, she wanted to be able to have some view or hint about her enemy; it wouldn't help if your enemy could sneak around silently and out of sight.
"Do you think I'm that dumb? I'm using the bayonet while my back fixes up." At last she caught up with her friend as they approached the door leading to the outside world filled with terror and agony.
Stopping just at the door, Saeko turned around to rest her eyes on the strong, firm figure standing at her side as she had done countless times before.
It filled her with both respect and admiration, the way Rei would place her trust on her once on the battlefield. The more zombies that came across and got their way the tighter they became. Eventually forming an unbreakable force of pure strength, trust, motivation, hope, and strategy. One separate move would bind with the others to take out at least five or six walkers. One defence would protect the other ones attack; together it would protect everyone. This was the power the two martial artists had. It was their strength that had been honed and forged after years of training in their respective arts, after weeks of similar battles and through hours of training and sparing together.
Now any time the two would fight all hell would break loose, their bodies became one each instinctively knowing the others moves so as to take on hits and giving them away. It was all purely held together by the weeks of fighting together at the forefront of their group, they had since all this started even with their differences an unspoken rule, to watch each other's back.
"So how would you want to do this?" Saeko asked, her hand placed on the door handle.
Rei's eyes were resting on that hand, observing curiously as a game plan formed in her head.
"If you're going with surprise, I would choose that we stick with the shadows and use them to take out the ones scattered around the edges." Her brown eyes set upon Saeko's hoping to see an agreement of some sort.
A little puzzled Saeko turned to face Rei "If we use that method and work our way towards the centre of that mob, how long do you think we will keep that element? Remember now they are blind." Saeko smiled to no one in particular, just for her own pleasure. Valuing these brief moments that they had before facing death was crucial to her.
"Well..." Rei mentally slapped herself for forgetting that. "The same but keep quiet." She then opened the door and with a quiet huff. "Let's go find out."
They approached the first walking corpse from behind, seeing as it was the first one from the door. Saeko casually walked passed it hardly glancing in its direction; feeling that it was below her and posed no risk or challenge.
Somehow noticing the human the zombie advanced after Saeko, only to be assaulted from behind by Rei. Her bayonet piercing through the thick dried up flesh and bone of its skull, as the blood spurted from the gaping hole, Rei gave a satisfied smile knowing she eliminated the threat.
Saeko was already pushing ahead getting into a slow jog, hand resting on the handle of her weapon. This was going to be fun.
Rei noted the fact that she had fallen behind and immediately jogged to catch up with Saeko. She ran ahead to the zombie in front, getting ready for her attack. Looking back she saw that Saeko had already killed off another zombie with a swift stab to the back of the head. Later she thought, Saeko was bound to start showing off.
Their actions were raising attention from all around them; a couple of them broke away from the rear and slowly paced their way towards the two attackers. Rei finished off her victim and raced to the next one, no time to bother with the ones approaching; they would take their time even when faced with food. This pattern continued for the next five, but they were drawing too much attention.
Saeko broke away and started fighting away at the ones who were getting close, as Rei continued her attack towards the ones in front of her. This method managed to get them past the second layer of them, it took time but it was efficient and safe for them while working like this. They could just free style it, all the way; that's what they were good at. But this wasn't the time to be taking risks; it was just another killing spree to satisfy themselves.
Sometime later at the end of the battle, Saeko finished off with one of her fancy moves, a high jump followed by a dramatic landing and one big spin which wiped out the dead around her.
Rei had just casually finished spearing one from behind, but had just enough time to glance at Saeko's trick. "It was bound to come, you just can't resist can you? It leaves you with something to impress the others with." Rei grinned at her partner as she walked around making sure the last of them were dead for good.
"I would have hoped that you know by now, that I am not one to gloat." Saeko gave a kind smile as to which Rei returned with her own. "Though I must admit, it was not our flashiest fight." Saeko continued, she wasn't one to talk much but after a refreshing fight she was always aroused with a certain type of euphoric energy that had led to her crying out some embarrassing things in the past.
Much to Rei's amusement.
