You're in some form of lab. You don't remember how you got there. All you know is that you're there now. You hear a weird squishing noise.
You turn around and saw something disgusting. A partially decomposed corpse was walking as though it was alive. The squishing was from the slime on its body as it stepped.
The creature turned towards you. "Brains!" it calls out. It runs towards you. As soon as it was three feet away from you a harpoon was in it's torso. The monster then quaked and fell dead.
Behind the body, stood Ulrich. In one hand was the harpoon gun. Closer look showed the string was steel. In Ulrich's other hand was a torn wire, crackling with electricity.
"Good to see you again." Ulrich said, extending his hand and shook yours. "Well, follow me, we got work to do." Ulrich said. Ulrich took out a .45 pistol from his pocket. He poked his head around the corner.
Nothing. You and Ulrich crept towards a door, when you both heard a shotgun being cocked. You gulped, worried what might be holding that gun.
As soon as the shot was fired, you cringed. You open one eye and see that you and Ulrich are still alive.
But the monster behind you wasn't. "Thanks Pete." Ulrich said, without turning around. "No problem pal." Peter said, saluting Ulrich. "The meeting room is over here, follow me."
Ulrich took out a small radio. "Jeremie, any more that escaped we should know about?"
"We just took care of one right now." Jeremie said over the radio. After about a minute of paranoid walking later, Peter finally brought you and Ulrich to the meeting room.
Alieta and Yumi were leaning on a desk, waiting for instructions. Jeremie was talking to Hiroki, Milly, and Johnny. There was also an unknown, attractive character. She had long red hair and shining green eyes. She was about 15.
The only thing that stood out was the fact she had six inch long claws and a mouth full if razor sharp fangs.
"Huh, Eleanor when did you get here?" Peter asked. "Jeremie said, it would be interesting if we had a half-demon. Without magical powers of course."
"What happened to Mark?" Yumi asked. "He's terrified of zombies Yumi, remember the Horror movie special? He abandoned us, he even forgot to talk about zombies."
"Oh yeah." Yumi said, in recollection. "Jeremie can you pass that jar of sage over here Jeremie." "Ummm, o.k." Jeremie handed him s clear jar full of magic cancelling herb.
Peter ate it whole. "Now, that my magic is negated, let's get started."
"Now you need to know what we're dealing with," Alieta said, "Simple put, zombies."
"Over here." Eleanor said, gesturing towards a window, similar to what the police use to hide people when they point out criminals.
There were zombies, blocked off from one another by walls.
The first one had an "R" scratched into it's chest. "This is what we call a Romero zombie. It's the first recorded "modern" zombie. It was discovered by George A. Romero and John Russo. They are similar to the zombie beyond that wall." Odd said, appearing out of nowhere.
The second zombie had no marking. "This is a Solanum zombie. It was brought to the public's attention by Max Brooks in his book, The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead. They've been around since 60,000 BC and has been last seen (minus today of course) in 2002." Eleanor stated simply.
"Here's the difference." Peter said, flipping the switch. A small staff came from the ground, it had a flame coming out of it.
The Romero zombie shambled away from it, while the Solanum didn't even move from its spot.
"Romero zombies you see," Yumi said, "are afraid of fire. Solanum on the other hand isn't."
"Another thing about Romero zombies is that, while they're really, really stupid, hell, they make Odd look smart," Ulrich said, smirking at his comment. "HEY!" Odd yelled in response.
"They can learn to do things over time, like using weapons." Ulrich finished. Peter then directed all your attention to the third and last chamber. "You'll be familiar with this one." Ulrich said.
"2-4-5 Trioxin," Jeremie stated, "You know the tale about zombies eating brains? Well, say hello to the zombie that started that craze, Tar Man 4 or something."
"Four?" Alieta asked. "Yeah, one was recorded and shown to the public in Return of the Living Dead and another similar zombie was found and shown in Return of the Living Dead part II, ect." Odd explained.
"Now this zombie is different from the other two, due to its ability to run, talk and use tools with ease, and can't be killed easily." Peter explained.
"By the way, why did you eat the sage?" Ulrich asked. "Not everyone has magical powers." Peter answered. "Makes sense." Alieta said.
"By the way we won't stay in the lab all the time." Eleanor said smiling, showing her sharp fangs.
