Ashes Remain

As soon as Rage heard the fifth car crash, he knew something was wrong. Rage was in the middle of recording a Mapstravaganza episode with Hollow.

Rage: And now onto competitive.

Hollow: Where I'm gonna kick your ass again.

There was a sound of a car crashing outside Rage's place.

Hollow: Damn, that's like the fifth one in the last minute.

Rage: I'll go check it out.

Rage stood up still wearing his headset, and looked out his window.

Rage: HOLY SHEEP SHIT!

There were many zombies everywhere outside. People were screaming, and running in fear.

Hollow: Jesus…I see them as well, Josh…We need to get to the safe house!

Rage: Ring up the Sheeple, and tell them to meet us there. I'm going to find my brother and my parents.

Hollow: That's still a fucking horrible name…but I'm on it.

Rage dropped his headset, grabbed his phone and keys, and put his lizard in his pocket. Just as he was about to run out of the door, Rage remembered something…He ran over to his closet, and dug through some things. He finally pulled out a safe, and unlocked it. The things that were inside of it were his shotgun and his Rage suit.

Rage: It's been a long time…

Three months to be exact. After Rage had gotten out of the general's hell, he swore to himself that never wear it again unless he had to…Time's up. Rage's mind echoed with the words that Captain Burke had told him when they had met at the hospital.

We've…found signs of the infection starting in a small town in Japan. We have been trying to slow it down, but soon enough, it will spread throughout the entire world.

Rage put the suit on, grabbed his semi-auto shotgun, and ran out the door. His hood-mask naturally closed around his face. There were a couple of zombies in the hallway, but Rage just ran past them. He ran down the stairs, but he was tackled to the ground by a zombie. Rage kicked it off, and shot its head off. Rage got up, and ran outside towards his car. As soon as he got inside, many of the zombies nearby crowded around the car while trying to get in. Rage turned the car and the radio on. "The Final Countdown" was playing. Rage drove over the zombies, and began to head towards the highway. The highway was completely jammed with other people who were trying to get away as well. Rage noticed a hill leading up to the highway, and he got an idea.

Song: IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

Rage put his car at full speed towards the hill.
