A/N: Hello everyone. The crappy author is back with another crappy story. Here's another first from me. My very first zombie AU fan fiction, Love Live! The Survival Project. Zombie AU fan fictions is actually my favorite and you can say I love zombies. I even went as far as preparing for zombie apocalypse. Well anyway, its another first for me so please don't criticize it too much teehee tero.
Oh by the way. YayaSamuko, the psycho Hanayo story that you requested will be posted next sunday. I'm just doing some finishing touches on it before I transfer it to MS word for posting.
I would also like to thank everyone you supported my first horror story 'Psychopathic bird'. Doumo arigato guzaimasu.
Now enough with the chatter and chats. I now present you the pilot chapter of Love Live! The Survival Project.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Love Live! School Idol Project. It has its own respective owner.
When hell decides to take over the Earth
Who would have thought that all it would take is just a simple accident to take down our beloved country Japan and eventually annihilated more than half of the total world population. It was just a simple accident at a bio-chemical factory somewhere in Nagasaki but that accident was able to cause a great catastrophe. That catastrophe almost annihilated the human race and claimed billions of lives across the globe. In Japan alone, the number of survivors are only around a hundred thousand with only about 30% being civilians. We lost everything we had and some of us even lost their own selves and broke down.
You might be asking who am I and what am I talking about.
Let me start by introducing my self first. My name is Koizumi Hanayo, a former member of the former school idol group μ's. Right now, I'm 21 years old. Being a school idol was just a shadow of who I am now, of who we are now. What I'm about to tell you is a story that the nine of us went through. The story that changed us to the point that we hardly know our selves anymore. An experience that caused us to lose our innocence. Even though it has been six years since it happened, what we went through still hunts us to this very day. Even after six years had passed, everything that we went through still feels like it just happened yesterday. I can still remember that very day when the wheel of fate decided to turn for the worse and hell took over the Earth. It all started on that fateful day, the day when everything went downhill in just a blink of an eye.
"It's finally time." Hanayo-chan said in an uneasy tone while looking at the computer screen. The nine of us are all gathered inside the club room awaiting the result of the preliminaries of the Love Live competition. Only four teams are to be chosen to advance to the next round so we are all really nervous to see the result.
"This is nerve-wrecking." Kotori-chan said putting her hands together over her chest.
"Oh no, my heart's going to burst out!" I was also getting really really nervous myself.
"Is it over yet... Is it over yet?!" Umi-chan asked from the side while covering her ears. I can tell that she was starting to lose herself.
"Not yet." Eli-chan answered her.
"Someone please answer me!" Umi-chan shouted apparently not hearing Eli-chan's answer.
"And how would you hear us?" Maki said.
"Y-Y-Y-Yeah. It's only the preliminaries. W-What are you all so worried about?" Nico-chan said while shakily reaching for her strawberry milk drink.
"That's right, and according to the card..." Nozomi-chan said leaving her sentence unfinished. She covered her face with her card.
"According to the cards?" I asked wanting to hear her prediction. She was also able to catch Eli-chan and Rin-chan's attentions. But instead of answering, she just lowered her cards to reveal a worried look.
"Ah, never mind! I don't want to hear it!" I shouted. What Nozomi-chan did made me more nervous. Eli-chan and Rin-chan turned their attention back to the computer screen.
"It's here!" Hanayo-chan cried out suddenly and took everyone by surprise and caused Nico-chan to squeeze the content of her drink out of the carton box.
"The first team to move past the preliminaries is A-RISE. The second team is East Heart." Hanayo-chan started reading the results. Everyone except for Umi-chan who was still cowering at the side gathered at the computer.
"And?" Nico-chan asked from the back.
"The third team is... M..."
"M...?"
"Midnight Cats." Hanayo-chan read the complete name of the third team. It earned a collective disappointed sigh from everyone.
"And the last one?" Eli-chan was the first to recover.
"The fourth team is... Mu..."
"Mu...?!" No, the suspense is really killing me.
"Mu..." Umi-chan finally got the courage to look at the computer screen "-tant Girls!" Hanayo-chan read the complete name of the final team which was not us. Everyone was left speechless.
"'N-No... No way!' I shouted shouted after learning that we were not able to enter the next round of the Love Live competition. That's the dream I had!" Honoka finished telling everyone about her dream. They were all sitting around the club room table and they were all speechless after hearing her story. "Huh?" Everyone was still processing the situation and...
"It was just a dream?!" Everyone shouted in unison. Honoka was surprised by her friend's outburst.
"Even so, isn't that too vivid for a dream?" Hanayo asked with a serious expression.
"It really is." Kotori agreed. She had a very worried expression,
"Actually... This is the exact same situation I saw in the dream!" Honoka cried after seeing the situation set-up coincidentally similar to the dream she had.
"W-what part of this is the same as the dream?" Nico asked while shakily reaching for her strawberry milk drink.
"Is it over yet... Is it over yet?" Umi asked while covering her ears.
"That's right, and according to the cards..."
"No! At this rate it's going to turn out just like my dream." Honoka continued to whine while clutching her head. "That's right! Nico-chan, chug that!" She said pointing at Nico's drink.
"Why should I do that?!" Nico demanded slamming her hand that was holding her drink on the table.
"If we don't change something, my dream's really going to happen!" Kotori gave Honoka a worried glance. Apparently, Honoka's whining was starting to bother her.
"It's here!" Hanayo suddenly said silencing Honoka and catching everyone's attention and also causing Nico to squeeze her drink out of the carton box.
"The first team to move past the preliminaries is... A-RISE. The second team is East heart. The third team is... Midnight cats." Hanayo started reading the result of the preliminaries. Everyone minus Umi who was still cowering at the side gathered around Hanayo to see the result.
"Oh no... This is exactly the same." Honoka commented and gave a dejected sigh.
"The fourth team is... M-"
CRASH
"Kayo-chin!"
"AHHH!" Everyone let out a series of blood curling screams when one of their school mate suddenly crashed through the window and tried to pounce at Hanayo but Rin was quick to pull her childhood friend out of the way. Umi who was cowering was also ended up screaming as well.
"H-Hey, are you alright?" Honoka cautiously approach the girl. She is scared yes, but her sense of responsibility is stronger than the fear she is feeling right now. The girl has splatters of blood on her uniform and she has a large wound on her left shoulder and her arm was bent to a strange angle. The girl stood up and jumped at Honoka and tried to bite her. Thankfully, she was quick enough and was able to prevent the girl from completing her objective by holding her at the neck.
With Honoka pinned down, the girl struggled to have her meal but her prey gave all her best to fight back.
"H-Help!" Honoka shouted as she was slowly losing the battle for survival. Eli picked up a chair and whacked the girl on the head, just then, the door suddenly burst open and armed officers rushed in. Each of them are carrying MP5s sub machine guns. They pointed their weapons at the girl and opened fire. The school idols were all shocked by this. Seeing a school mate shot in front of them was a really horrifying experience.
"Are all of you uninjured?" One of them turned to the school idols. Everyone were all scared and speechless. Maki was the first one to recover.
"Who are you and just what is happening here and on top of that, why did you shot that girl?" Maki demanded trying to act tough but her knees are a dead give-away.
"We are from the Japanese Special Assault team of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Our district is currently under an emergency situation because of a viral infection that had just broke out. That girl is one of the infected. You girls should evacuate to the school's gymnasium for your own safety. Our officials will explain the current situation there." The police officer explained.
"I-Is this a zombie outbreak nya?" Rin asked but the officer didn't had a chance to answer when the PA system suddenly went off.
"We would like the call for the attention of everyone. We are from the Japanese Special Assault Team. We are putting your school under a complete lock down due to an emergency. We are asking everyone to stay calm and follow your teacher's instruction and do as they say. Everyone is asked to evacuate to the school's gymnasium for your own safety. I repeat..." The girls just stared at the speaker on the ceiling.
"You girls should evacuate too. Nagato, Ayasaki, Nakano. Escort this girls to the gymnasium. The rest follow me."
"Roger!" The other officers responded and left only leaving three officers behind.
One of the officers lowered his gun and removed his helmet and turned to the girls. "You girls should go now. I know you have a lot of questions but your safety is our top priority and your school's gymnasium is the safest place for you as of now." He said to the girls in a calm voice.
"But-" Maki tried to say but the officer cut her off
"Please girls, its for your own safety. Those things are really dangerous." The officer said and pointed to the girl on the floor. "I understand that they used to be your school mate but they are already infected. Just one bite and you're one of them and you might also endanger your friend and we want to prevent that so we're asking you to evacuate to the gymnasium so we can better protect you." He explained to the girls. They exchanged glances with eat other and they seem to be hesitant but eventually agreed.
"We understand." Eli said and the officer smiled on them before putting his helmet back on.
"Alright, we are going to escort you to the gymnasium. Come on guys let's get going." With that, they all left the room with two officers in front, the girls in the middle and another officer at the rear to ensure that no one gets separated.
They were escorted to the gymnasium. The security was very strict and a lot of armed personnel and guarding the building and everyone was being thoroughly inspected to make sure none of them are infected and would endanger everyone. After being inspected, the girls was able to get in the gymnasium and was immediately greeted by their three most loyal and trusted friends. Hideko, Fumiko and Mika.
"Honoka!" The three of them jumped at Honoka and hugged her. Everyone else surrounded them and even though they are all scared, they still expressed their relief that their school's idol group μ's was safe.
"Honoka. I thought I wasn't going to see you again." Mika cried and hugged Honoka as tightly as she can.
"W-Wait Mika-chan, I can't breath."
"We really thought that we aren't going to see you guys again, considering that the main building was the first was to get attacked by those things." Hideko said. While the group along with the other students are having different conversations with each others, none of them was aware of a fatal flaw in the security and someone who wasn't suppose to be in there was able to sneak inside through the back entrance/exit (whichever goes) and hide at a dark corner. She was able to get inside because of that fatal flaw in the security. No one was guarding the back entrance/exit (seriously, what do you call that. An entrance or an exit?) And the door was left unlocked.
"Damn it hurts." The girl greeted her teeth as she tries to treat her injury. She had a bite wound on her left lap that she got when she tried to help her friend. The bite wound was bleeding and the blood vessels around it are starting to blacken and was completely visible through her paling skin. "I... I can't die...like this." The girl panted as her vision started the fade her eyelids started to close and her body was feeling very cold. She felt sick that the word 'worst' was an understatement to describe how she is feeling with her body right now. She felt like she walked under the scorching desert before diving at the freezing water of the antarctic ocean. (That's a hyperbole but you get what I mean right? Its the feeling that you get when you did a hot work like ironing or cooking or the like then immediately taking a cold bath.)
"Somebody...please...help..." The girl gave her last breath and finally closed her eyes.
"May I get everyone's attention please." The speakers went to life and everyone quieted down. They all turned their attention to the person on the stage, their school's chair-woman Mrs Minami. "We know all of you are scared and confused right now. You might be asking what is happening right now. I understand that everyone is in the state of panic but please, calm down. We are trying our best to keep everyone safe. We assure you that everything will be brought under control..."
While the chair-woman was giving her speech and the students are eagerly listening to her, a single student was walking like she was drunk. Another student noticed her and approached her.
"Sayaka! Oh thank god you're alright. Where have you been, I thought you were unable to get it here." The girl said before noticing the other girl's injury. "Oh dear. We have to treat your wound, look its starting to get infected. Here come with me, I'll take you to the nurse." She said and grabbed the girl's right hand. The girl immediately reacted by pulling her hand towards her mouth and going for the bite. The other girl screamed out in pain and fell on the ground. Her scream was able to grab everyone's attention. She looked at the girl standing in front of her. That is when she only realized that the girl she tried to help was already one of them... and so is she. The girl looked at her injured hand, she was now missing her thumb. She continued to stare at her injured hand as the gymnasium starts to get filled with screams.
"You're kidding, right?" The girl could only ask.
"One of them got inside! One of them got inside!" A student shouted and the whole gymnasium was now in complete chaos. Neither the teachers nor the officers are able to contain the situation but they are unable to open fire because the infected are mixed with the students.
"What are we going to do?" Nico was already panicking, so is everyone else.
"W-We need to get out of here." Maki said. She was trying to stay calm but her knees are trembling.
"What are you standing there for?" A girl with long cobalt blue hair and golden yellow eyes approached them. "We need to get out of here!"
"But everyone, they need help!" Honoka tried to reason out.
"And my mother. I need to help my mother." Kotori added.
"I understand what you guys feel but look around you but-"
"Shizuka! We need to get out of here right now!" Another girl with shoulder length maroon hair and emerald eyes approached them.
"Listen to me, we need to get out of here. You'll all die if you don't!" The blue haired girl said to them.
"Mother..." Kotori turned to the stage just in time as her mother turned towards her direction. Both of them locked eyes with each other. Mrs Minami gave a gentle smile and nod. This caused Kotori to tear up. "Mother..." She was now crying. The blue haired girl grabbed her right hand and pulled her before turning to the others.
"We need to leave this place now!" With that, the girl started running with Kotori in tow. The maroon haired girl followed her. Honoka took one last look around before following the three.
"Where are we going?" Eli asked.
"Just follow us." The maroon haired girl just said as they got out of the back door. (I finally got it) she stopped and closed the door. "I hope those thing don't know how to open a damn door."
"I'm sorry everyone. I'm really sorry." Honoka was now crying. She was the student council president and was supposed to help bring the situation under control but here she is right now, she tacked her tail between her legs and was running like a coward.
They entered the main building and the blue haired girl stopped in front of a door and opened it. "Get inside now!" She said and dragged Kotori inside. The rest followed them and shut the door close after everyone got inside.
Back at the gymnasium, the chaos continued as the school staff tries to handle the situation but miserably failed.
"Why is this happening?" Was the only thing that chair-woman Minami was able to ask. One of the infected jumped on her and she was pinned on the wooden floor of the stage. "I'm sorry... Kotori." The chair-woman uttered an apology for her daughter as the infected started to devour her.
"Captain, what are we going to do?" One of the officers ask as the situation was starting to become impossible to handle.
"We have no other choice. Shoot everything that moves!" The captain ordered.
"But sir-"
"Just do it! We need to neutralize them!" And all his men exchanged hesitant looks. They were sent here to protect all the students but they made a fatal mistake and now they are ordered to shoot them. It was really ironic that they are now to kill the ones they were supposed to protect.
"Dear god forgive us..." One of the officers mumbled before shouting. "OPEN FIRE!" And all the armed officers showered everyone with bullets and the sound of screaming was overwhelmed by the sound of endless gunfire. They shot everything that was moving. Weather they are infected or not, no one was spared and everyone was was killed.
"What was that?" Kotori asked. Right now all of them were inside the chemistry room. By them means all the members of μ's, Hideko, Fumiko, Mika, the blue haired girl who guided them and the maroon haired girl who was now guarding the door.
"Are those gun shots?" Honoka asked as they all hear the undeniable sound of gun shots that was coming from the gymnasium. After a few more moments, the sound of gun shots started to die down until it was completely quiet.
"I-It stopped nya." Rin said. She was tightly hugging Hanayo who was visibly trembling.
"What do you think happened?" Maki asked. The maroon haired girl turned to her.
"Either they had wiped everyone out or they got over ran. In any case, we need to get out of here."
"H-How can you say that?! And who the hell are you anyway? You dragged us here with out telling us anything at all!" Nico demanded grabbing the girl at the collar.
"My name is Inoue, Inoue Sayuri. And that girl who brought you here is Tachibana Shizuka. You should be at least thankfully that Shizuka dragged you here."
"And why should we-"
"Shhh! All you you quiet down please!" Shizuka said silencing them. "Fighting among our selves won't do us any good. We have to work together in order to get through this."
"She has a point. We should think of a way to get out of this situation instead of fighting with each other." Eli agreed.
"But how?" Umi asked.
"And where are we goin' after we got outta here?" Nozomi asked.
"To my apartment. Its just around the corner." Shizuka said as she placed a small clear glass bottle at the table. The bottle was filled with a clear oily substance and was labeled C3H5N3O9. The only thing that was written on the label aside form the chemical formula was the volume content of the bottle that was 100 ml. Maki immediately realized what the content of the bottle was.
"Is that a pure substance?" Maki asked and took a step back.
"Yeah. That's pure nitroglycerin." Shizuka answered.
"Do you realize how dangerous that thing is? And how did you got your hands on something like that?" Maki demanded. Looking at the content and size of the bottle, if it was to accidentally explode it would be enough to roast all of them.
"Some...secret method. But more importantly, we can use that to defend ourselves." Shizuka reasoned.
"What's that nitroglypsi thing Maki-chan?" Rin asked. Hanayo was starting to calm down by now but Honoka was still silent and Kotori was still crying.
"You mean nitroglycerin?" Eli corrected.
"That's a really dangerous thing." Maki said to Rin with a serious expression. "I trust you know how to use that thing." Shizuka just gave her a nod. Eli approached Kotori and Honoka.
"Pull yourself together Kotori. Your mother wouldn't want to see you get depress like that." Eli placed a comforting hand at Kotori's shoulder.
"Eli-chan... Mother... She's... She's..." Kotori hugged Eli and cried. The latter just gently rubbed the former's back. While Eli was busy with Kotori, Shizuka decided to talk to Honoka.
"President." Shizuka called to Honoka but she got no response. "President Kousaka Honoka." Honoka glanced up at her with lifeless eyes. "Kousaka-san."
"What is it?"
"You're our student council president you know. You're the one who holds the greatest authority over everyone here. You're the only who can lead us. You're-"
"That's right. I'm the student council president and I had a duty to help bring peace and order. Yet here I am, I disregarded my duty and escaped to save myself. I'm a useless president." Honoka cried but thanks to what she said, Shizuka was able to point out what was wrong.
'So what happened at the gymnasium really got into her huh.' Shizuka let out a sigh. "Its true, what happened at the gymnasium is a serious neglect of duty. That's an undeniable fact and nothing can be done to correct that..." She said and everyone turned their attention to her.
Honoka gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. "You don't have to slap the truth on my face-"
"So just put the blame on me." Honoka was silent, so is everyone. "You wanted to perform your duty as the student council president back there didn't you? But I stopped you from doing so and forced you leave. So I'm the one to blame for what happened back there." Shizuka explained.
"W-What..."
"I'll shoulder the responsibility for the death of everyone in the gymnasium so you can forget what happened back there."
"But I'm the student council president-"
"Like I said, I'll take the responsibility for the death of everyone there. Their deaths will be for me to shoulder alone. But right now, everyone in this room is under your responsibility, including me. It would be your fault if something bad happened to us." Honoka was speechless because of this and Eli finally figure our what the girl was trying to do.
"That's true, you're the one who prevented Honoka from performing her job. She might have been able to save some lives back there but you forced her. That's why I don't see any reason not to point all the blame on you. The death of everyone at the gymnasium is all your fault and yours alone." Eli said sternly. Honoka knew that tone. It was the same hostile tone from when Eli was trying to have them stop their school idol thing.
"Eli-chan..."
"But right now, everyone in this room is under your responsibility Honoka. If anything happens to anyone of us, that you be your fault." Eli said and place a hand on Honoka's shoulder. "So do your job properly and get us to safety." Honoka wiped her tears with her sleeves and finally cheered up.
"I'll promise that I'll protect everyone and sure that we all get through this." Honoka declared. Eli smiled and turned to Shizuka as Maki made her way towards them.
"Are you sure about that? You're the one who saved us but here you are taking the responsibility for something that you didn't do." Eli asked with a worried expression. Even though they just met the girl, she can already say that she is a good person and being seen as someone who caused the death of hundred of students does not fit her at all.
"Its fine. Its actually true after all. Kousaka-san wanted to do something but I stopped her and dragged all of you here so I'm the one to blame for her being unable to perform her duty." Shizuka said and gave a soft smile.
"You're sacrificing yourself you know." Maki pointed out.
"Its better that way than to see someone like her broke down." Shizuka said and closed her eyes.
With everyone back on their feet, they were now all good to go.
"We should get going. This place is becoming more and more dangerous as we stay here. Its just a matter of time before those things discover us here. For now let's head to my apartment. That's the safest place we can go." Shizuka said and everyone gave a positive response.
"Alright let's go." Sayuri said and opened the door. The hallway was completely silent. They continued to walk silently and was near the entrance but something caught Sayuri's attention. There was a H&K MP5 submachinegun lying on the floor with three spare magazines just a feet away from it. Sayuri picked the gun up and inspected it. There wasn't even a single spec of blood on the gun indicating that its user didn't died while using it. She removed the magazine to see its content and inserted it back after making sure that it wasn't empty. She cocked the charging handle and a single unused 9mm parabellum bullet was ejected.
"So it was already loaded..." Sayuri mumbled to herself as she picked the bullet up and hid it on her pocket. She also made sure that the safety is turned off before picking up the spare magazines.
"What are you going to do with that nya?" Rin asked.
"We can use this to defend our selves. Also, if you found a gun lying on the floor or anywhere, don't hesitate to pick it up. You need something to protect yourself."
"B-But we don't know how to use that. And aren't civilians forbidden to use guns specially us students?" Hanayo asked.
"Civilians are also forbidden to eat each other but they're doing it." Sayuri pointed out the situation. "Those things won't listen to you and will attack you the moment they see you. You need to at least arm yourself you know. You need to protect yourself and your friends. And in the issue of you don't know how to use them, I'll teach you everything you need to know about guns so don't worry." She explained.
"She's right. I don't like the idea but the situation here has a two very simple options. Its either you kill them or you let them eat you." Shizuka said and everyone was speechless."We should get going. The situation is getting more and more dangerous as we stay out here." And with that, they continued on their way to the entrance. Sayuri switched the gun into semi-auto mode so that she can easily suppress the recoil and prevent the waste of bullet.
They opened the door and stepped out and was shocked with what they saw. There were more than a dozen armed personnel lying on the ground each of them has a bite wound on different parts of their body indicating that they got attacked but they also have several holes on their head that was undeniably gun shot wounds. The members of μ's almost screamed but Hideko, Fumiko, Mika, Shizuka and Sayuri were able to stop them.
"So this explains why the sound of gunshots started to die down before it completely stopped." Sayuri said. She was looking at the corpse in front of them and noticed that they still have their guns with them along with side arms and a few other things.
"Khorosho..." Was Eli could only say as they stare at the sight in front of them.
"H-Hey what are you doing." Hideko asked when she saw Sayuri approached the first corpse and took his weapon along with other use full things.
"Looting. I feel sorry for them but we need their things for our own survival you know." Sayuri said and everyone just stared at her. "I could use some help you know."
"Why should we help you in doing that awful deeds!" Nico barked at her.
"I know this looks like an awful thing to do but we need to do it. Just look around. If the special forces can't protect themselves, how can they protect us. And if they can't protects us then who will?" Sayuri stood up and threw a SIG Sauer P226 9mm pistol at Nico who was able to catch it.
"But-"
"I understand that stealing from the dead is an inhuman thing to do but don't you have people that you want to go to and see again?" Sayuri asked and everyone was silent. No one said a word until Honoka stepped forward.
"She's right." Honoka said and turned around to face her friends. "It might be an awful thing to do but we need to do this for our own sake and for the ones we love. We saw what happened at the gymnasium. They weren't able to properly protect us and it was only thanks to Shizuka-chan that we managed to escape. And right now, what we can only do is help and protect each other and hope that we can get through this and see our loved ones again." Honoka said with her tone slightly trembling. What happened at the gymnasium really got into her because she saw her schoolmates and friends get slaughtered in front of them. Right now, the only thing she wants is for her friends to not suffer the same fate and she will do what ever it takes to protect them.
"Honoka's right. We need to help and protect each other. We'll just confess our sins later but right now we need to take whatever we can to protect ourselves." Eli said voicing out her thought. She also didn't want her friends to suffer and die like the others. But more than that, she was also worried about her sister Alisa. Everyone exchanged glances.
Umi sighed. "I guess we don't have much choice do we." She said and approach the nearest corpse and picked his gun. "I'm really sorry for this." She said and took everything that she deemed use full. Everyone followed Umi and rummaged through the body of the dead officers for things they can use while uttering an apology. After a few minutes, they were able to get some use full things.
Honoka, Kotori, Rin, Hanayo, Nozomi, Nico, Hideko, Mika and Fumiko all got H&K MP5 submachineguns like the one Sayuri got. Eli, Umi and Maki all got M4A1carbines that was equipped with SOPMOD kits. The SOPMOD kit includes a AN/PEQ Visible carbine laser mounted at the left side rail of the barrel, a 4x day optical scope and and a forward handgrip mounted at the bottom rail of the barrel. Shizuka got a PSG1 semi-automatic sniper rifle. They also got some pistols and other things like flash grenade, smoke grenade and fragmentation grenade. All in all, it was a really good loot considering that they are in the middle of an unfolding apocalypse. They put away the pistols and grenade on their bags.
"Alright guys. I'll show you how to use this things." Sayuri said and showed everyone how to use the guns they got. After the brief lesson, they got on the street and started walking. Shizuka was leading the way with the members of μ's behind her and the trio of Hideko, Fumiko and Mika following them. Sayuri took the rear to make sure that no one gets separated. The streets were deserted and devoid of life. Everything was silent and the girls are starting to let their guard down.
"What? There's nothing out here. I don't see event a single one of those things around." Nico said and lowered her gun.
"Don't lower your guard. We don't know when will they pop out." Sayuri warned them.
"You can say that but we haven't seen a single one of them ever since we left the chemistry room." Mika said and turned to Sayuri. "Its not like an infected will suddenly appear and pounce at us." She said.
Suddenly out of nowhere, an infected appeared and pounced at Mika pinning her on the ground. "Ahhh! Help me!" She said as she struggles to keep the zombie away from her but she was doing it wrong. She was holding the infected on the face to push it away from her. The infected upon realizing it bite her hand. "Ahhh!" Mika screamed again but this time in pain. Sayuri pointed her gun at the infected and pulled the trigger. The infected dropped motionless on the ground.
"You were saying?" Sayuri teased but she knew that it was not a time to be fooling around. Mika was now infected, no doubt about it.
"I-I'm going to become one of them..." Mika mumbled as she stared at her hand with a despaired look on her face.
"M-Mika-chan! You're going to be just fine-"
"No I'm not!" Honoka tried to cheer her friend up but Mika snapped at her. Sayuri felt a vibration on the ground and glanced towards her back. What she saw made her blood run cold. A very large horde of infected was running towards their direction. She instantly turned to Mika and helped her back on her feet.
"Everybody run! Horde at sin o'clock!" Sayuri shouted and everyone instinctively turned towards the direction they came from.
"R-Run like hell!" Nico shouted upon seeing the horde and they are started to run.
"How far are we?" Nozomi asked. Shizuka pulled out her phone and dialed a number on it.
"Hello sis. Thank goodness. We're on our way there but a horde is chasing us. Can you secure the elevator for us?" Shizuka talked to the phone. After a few more moments, she pocketed her phone again. "My sister said she'll secure the elevator for us. We just need to build a good distance from them before we reached the building.
"Elevator? I thought you said you live at an apartment?" Nico asked.
"Sorry. I actually live in a condominium but what's the difference." Shizuka said as they turned the corner. A building was ahead of them. "Just a little more."
"I can't go anymore." Mika panted. Her skin was starting to pale and her blood vessels are starting to blacken and was visible through her skin.
"Tsk. The infection had spread already." Sayuri cursed.
"I'm done for. You guys go on ahead. I'll try to you buy some time." Mika said. Honoka stopped running and turned to her. The others also stopped. Sayuri switched her gun to full auto and opened fine at the incoming horde. (Yup. MP5s has three modes. Off, Semi-auto and full auto.)
"You can't do that!" Honoka hugged her friend. "You can't do that Mika-chan. You'll die."
"Honoka I'm already infected. Look at me." Mika gently pushed Honoka for the latter to see her appearance. "I'm going to become one of them and die. If I'm going to die might as well die protecting my friends. Go Honoka, run and save yourself, save everyone. I'm already done for and this is the last thing that I can do for you." Mika was now crying.
"I'm running low on ammo here." Sayuri butted in and Nico, Nozomi and Maki helped her provide cover by also shooting the horde but they were hardly hitting their targets. They are able to shoot down infected but the number that they took down was insignificant compared to the size of the horde which was about a couple of hundred infected.
"M-Mika-chan. We will never forget you. I promise. I'll save everyone." Honoka said and gave her friend one last hug.
"Here. I won't be needing this." Mika said and gave her gun to Honoka before pulling out a smoke grenade and a fragmentation grenade. Honoka took the gun and they all started running but Fumiko stayed behind. "What are you doing Fumiko. You have to go."
"I'll stay with you. We'll be together until the very end." Fumiko said and pulled out a fragmentation grenade. She looked at Mika and smiled. "I love you."
Mika just smile and pulled the pin of the smoke grenade before dropping it and turned to Fumiko. "I know, and I love you too." And with that the both of them pulled the pin of their fragmentation grenade and charged at the horde.
"Fumiko! Mika!" Hideko shouted the name of her friend but the white smoke was obscuring her vision. A few seconds and she heard two consecutive explosions. "Fumiko... Mika!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Come on." Sayuri pulled her. They were now about fifty meters away from their destination.
"Hurry up. We're almost there." Shizuka said and glanced towards her back. She was shocked to see that the horde was still pursuing them. "Hurry up and get inside!" She said and stopped running. She pulled out the glass bottle filled with nitroglycerin and threw it at the horde. The bottle hit an infected at the head.
BOOM
The shock from the impact was more than enough to cause it to explode enveloping the horde in a fiery explosion.
Honoka reached the entrance of the building and saw a girl that looks exactly like Shizuka except that she was wearing a UTX uniform but has a light blue polo shirt underneath her blazer instead of the regular white and has shorter hair. The girl was standing at the elevator keeping its door open.
"Hurry up!" The girl shouted and they all went for the elevator. The members of μ's was piled up inside the elevator followed by Sayuri who was dragging Hideko. Shizuka was the last one to enter the building and an infected was hot on her tail.
"Close the door now!" Shizuka shouted and the other girl that looked like her pushed the button to close the door. Shizuka was a few feet away when the door started to close. The infected was also a few feet away from her and was gaining grounds. Behind it were more infected.
"Shizuka!" Shizuka Mk II (her name is yet to be revealed) reached her hand. Shizuka was able to grab it and Mk II pulled her inside the elevator just in time as the door closed. A thud was heard followed by pounding.
Shizuka Mk II pushed a button and the elevator started to ascend. Everyone was completely silent. None of them said even a single word. After a few moments the elevator came to a stop and the door opened. They all piled out and the door of the elevator closed.
"Here." Shizuka Mk II led them to a room and they all entered. She quickly locked the room after they all got in. She then turned to Shizuka and hugged her. "Thank goodness your safe." She hugged her sister tightly and Shizuka returned the hug.
"I'm glad to see you too big sis." Shizuka said. And while the two sister are having a touching reunion a certain brown haired girl who was at the living area approached them.
"Kousaka-san?"
Honoka's eyes widen upon recognizing who the girl was.
A/N: Who do you think the girl is? Honoka's mother? Rin's Mother? Misaka Mikoto? Shirai Kuroko. Kurahashi Riko?
Shizuka Mk II: how did the cast of A certain scientific railgun and Love lab got involved in this. And Kurahashi Riko had ginger hair not brown. And give me a name already will ya'. And why am I the Mk II if I'm the older one.
Don't sweat the details, beside Mk II sounds cool right?
Shizuka Mk II: like hell it is!
Well any way, I hope you guys liked the story. I know its kinda sloppy at some part but I promise you a better second chapter. This story, particularly this chapter was already finish weeks ago but I just finished transferring it to MS word. I actually write my stories on a notebook and put them away and they kinda piled up already so I decided to post them.
A little info: you guys might be wondering what is nitroglycerin. It's actually a very unstable and sensitive chemical compound. It is highly sensitive to shock and friction and a major ingredient for making explosives.
