A/N This is and au created by nicole-belpois found on DeviantArt. I liked the idea of the whole thing so I thought why not try it out. I will be taking some aspects from the show and integrate it within the story. So if you have watched Code Lyoko or plan to watch it let me know what you would like me to integrate within the story.
So without further ado, Let the chaos ensue.
Chapter 1- The first encounter
The sounds of the apocalypse were everywhere. From the silence that would periodically shift to the the groans and moans of the dead, the chitters and tweets made by the creatures that survived, and the skritching of a pencil as it glides across paper. Ulrich shifts the passenger seat of the truck back into a sitting position, and looks out the wide open window -something he will be sure to prevent in the future- to spot his high school and college roommate, Odd sitting on a near-by boulder, school issued sketch book resting on his lap as he looks out at one of the "few" scenes of death they have passed on their drive.
At the aspiring artist's side was a mutt they found shortly after the Z's rose, which the purple clad male took the liberty of calling it Kiwi. On the other side of the boulder was his art kit with every shade of graphite he needed. Odd stops for a moment to select a new shade, when he spots Ulrich in his peripheral view. Giving him a lopsided smile before putting his things away. he advices "I would get up and stretch if I were you, We're going to be coming up to the outskirts of town soon, and I don't want to be weaponless for much longer."
"Oh come on Odd, you're not completely weaponless, after all you picked up those knives from the kitchens." Ulrich points to the loose belt looped around Odd's waist where 4-5 mismatched knives are strapped. Odd takes one out and holds it loosely in hand. "Oh sure, I mean it's only fair that you get to use the Katana that your family has kept and that you know how to use, while I on the other hand must use a set of COOKING UTENSILS!" At the last words Odd throws the knife at a nearby tree only to miss his mark by a foot. Making a disgruntled sound he finishes packing his art kit -because heaven forbid he forgets it- and goes to find the discarded weapon. Ulrich on the other hand walks around to the back of the truck to stretch and get himself some breakfast, with Kiwi looking between both males from his spot.
As he retrieves protein bar from his pack for breakfast, Kiwi start growling towards the treeline just behind him. Normally Ulrich would pay it no mind as the Z's walk in a stumbling like manner that would give him plenty of time to get his snack, but this one is moving too fast to be one. Ulrich unsheathes one of the blades, and points it towards the trees as he waits for whatever it is to approach. Odd returns from the other side just as a blonde male dressed in a bloody lab coat stumbles into the road.
His hair is slicked back with rooster tails and the glasses haywire from the run he probably just went through. With the now familiar blood staining his clothes. The two friends stare at the blonde for a moment only to realize that Kiwi is still growling towards the tree line. The blonde seems to realize this to as he looks fearfully behind him. Ulrich and Odd waste no time in throwing the items they have taken out as Ulrich gets behind the wheel. Noticing the window is opened, he looks back out towards blond and calls out, "Are you coming or what?"
Wasting not a moment more The blonde hops into the backseat with Kiwi, and as the three drive off, the two long-time friends are left unaware of the four men just coming into the clearing.
After a few moments of total panic, and speed driving, Ulrich finally slows down to a respectable speed that won't end up wasting the bit of gas they were able to syphon from the last car they passed. With Ulrich paying attention to the road, Odd turns around to interrogate their newest companion.
"Well my friend, what do we have the pleasure of calling you?"
"Jeremie, Jeremie Belpois."
"Ok Belpois, next question, Are you a doctor or something?" Ulrich would slap him, but he'd rather not have Odd lose anymore brain cells. If they do reach his house, he is the only one who would know where the weapons are hidden. So he just settles for glaring periodically.
"Or something." Jeremie replies before looking away as though ashamed. Kiwi, the little traitor jumps into the backseat, and goes back to sleep on the newbies lap. Odd throws his hands up, the right one clipping Ulrich in the face, causing him to swerve on the road. To get back at him, Ulrich slams on the brakes causing Odd to slam against the dashboard, hopefully he finally learns what seatbelts are for. Jeremie meanwhile is fine for he clicked it, and Kiwi is still sleeping in the blondes lap.
The brunette looks to his main companion and glares, "If you want me to get us to your house safely, sit still and don't move. The next time you do, I will stop and you can walk the rest of the way." Odd shuts up and the rest of trip goes without incident. Odd only speaking up to give directions to his house. By the time they reach town the car is just about of gas, and Ulrich spends the next few moments glaring at Odd "I blame you." is all he says before he leaves and starts removing items from the back. Jeremie following shortly after "Do you want me to carry anything." Ulrich spares Jeremie a glance before handing him one of the two packs in the back taking the other for himself.
"OK Odd, you got us into this mess, so you have to get us out." And he all but pushes Odd forward in the decrepit town that he used to call home.
