"It started of as such a normal day…" Yosuke thought to himself as he drove a screwdriver deep into the skull of his former social studies teacher The teacher let out a guttural scream before he fell limply to the floor. Be fore he was able to respond mentally to the act, another member of the faculty was upon him. Chie came flying in with a rough roundhouse kick to the creature's head. It slammed in tot the chalkboard with a deadened slush as the contents of his cranium poured out. The two were surrounded-the undead was upon them. They saw the faces of the students whom they would say hello to, the kindly and wizened faces of the faculty , the supportive janitors all horribly contorted into hellish creatures, striped of their humanity, reduced to satiating their new-found bloodlust. What hid behind these creatures-these abominations- was something more primal, more malevolent, than anything they had witnessed in the world of the Shadows.

Chie looked upon the undead, fighting the urge to break down in tears. She fought hard to maintain her poise, she wouldn't have Yosuke pity. She instead looked at Yosuke with determined eyes and nodded; their offensive began. Time spent in the other realm had prepared them physically for their assault on the undead; decaying bones smashed, necrotic flesh torn, undead toppled. The two persona users cleared a path of destruction and flew into the halls. The schools hall had resembled the most grotesque nightmare-bodies littered the floors and blood was splattered ruthlessly, windows were broken in desperation and the horrid stench of festering tissue filled the air. The unnerving silence of the building was occasionally pierced by the blood-curdling screams of students having their very lives torn from them.

"Yosuke…" Chie whispered as her brave façade was melted away by the waves of her tears. Yosuke looked at her body shake as she began to cry. He so desperately wanted to console her but didn't know how- he was still in shock from what had conspired. What was once a normal day had been destroyed so drastically, like from second changing into the next. He frantically wondered what had become of his friends. Had they too been enlisted into the ranks of the undead?

"Chie! We gotta go! We don't have time for this!"

"Well! Where are we gonna go! Where is everyone! You don't think that…." She panicked.

Yosuke looked desperately at the blood soaked walls for answers, but none were found. Frantically, he patted his pants in search of his phone. Just then, a nearby classroom door flew open as more of the horde came shambling out. The two sprinted down the halls and in their haste they found themselves at the entrance to the practice building.

"You think that they are on the roof?" Chie panted between breaths as they climbed over a hastily made barricade.

"I don't know but I don't think that roof would be best…fuck!" Yosuke had just remembered that he had left it on charge in the homeroom.

The two made their way into the music room to find any signs of their friends. Instead, they saw music sheet strewn across the room and instruments that seemed to have been trampled as people rushed out. The most disturbing thing about the room was the view to the outside; Inaba was spotted with blazing fires that darkened the skies. Cars were pilled high on top of one another-a mad dash to escape the dark threat of the zombie catastrophe. Even from where they were, they could still hear the desolate cries of people being mauled the horde of undead.

This was a state of emergency.

Yosuke gritted his teeth as he gazed upon the madness; he and his friends had fought so hard to protect the town from the threat of the fog just so that it could be destroyed by the un-living.

"Where in the hell is everyone!" he cried desperately. He turned to Chie and watched her eyes widen in horror as what she saw outside. Yosuke turned to see.

Yukiko was alone and pursued by five zombies on the track field.

"NOO! Yukiko!" Chie screamed. She grabbed the window ledge and began to make her way onto the roof.

"Hey! Chie! You even know how far the field is from here!"

"I don't care! I'm not gonna stand here and let her get attacked by those bastards! Her eyes were burning with determination and Yosuke knew that there was no way that he could persuade her. He just hoped that they would get there in time. Yosuke hurried after Chie and ran on the roof, grabbing anything that could be forged into a weapon.
