2 Weeks After First Infection...

In the city of Fairfield in Pennsylvania, there was crisis as an unknown virus known as "The Green Flu" which was a mutated strains of rabies, this turned the victims into hostile zombie like creatures. Pennsylvania was the epicentre of the crisis. The disease first infected livestock but then there was first human victim that was sent to Mercy Hospital. Everyone else soon began to get infected and turn into zombies. This was declared a national crisis, and the US government's civil defence agency, CEDA was sent out to assist with the crisis along with the US military that was called in shortly after. In Fairfield, CEDA had declared a state of emergency and called on the whole city to be evacuated.

Meanwhile however, 4 familiar Ham-Humans were the only survivors to fight the infection in Pennsylvania. They were Hamtaro, Stan, Panda and Boss. They were four of a group of teenage children called the 'Ham-Hams' and were all on a mission to try and contain the infection.

Boss was leading the Ham-Hams down an alleyway in Fairfield when she stumbled across something.

"Hold up!" He said to the others. He walked over to the exploded Boomer corpse and scooped up some bile "I've never seen anything like this before"

"Jesus," groaned Stan, looking at the Boomer Corpse. "Don't let that stop you from smearin' all over yourself."

Boss got up angrily, he smeared the bile on Stan. "They're changing!" He said firmly.

"AUGH, DAMMIT BOSSMAN!" cried Stan wiping the bile off. "EURGH, IT STINKS!"

Hamtaro chuckled. Until they then heard a crying noise from behind a door.

"Someone's still alive." said Panda and went in with Boss.

Panda turned on his flashlight and looked around the room. "Over there" said Boss.

"Hello?" asked Panda. "Hello? It's okay, we're gonna-" but Boss saw that it was a Witch that hated lights and Boss quickly moved the light out of the way. "Lights OFF!" he said firmly.

Outside, Hamtaro was watching out for zombies, and a horde rushed towards him and Stan who opened fire.

"Oh shit!" yelled Hamtaro. "SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" He then ran into the building.

"THEY'RE COMING!" He yelled but shone his flashlight into the Witch who was startled. "WHAT THE-?!" screamed Hamtaro.

"RUN LIKE HELL!" yelled Panda as Boss fired some shots at the Witch and closed the door. The Witch struck the door as Hamtaro stood ready to fire. The Witch broke a section of the door.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screamed Hamtaro as he opened fire at the Witch.

"HOW D'YA LIKE THAT?!" snarled Hamtaro as he shot at the infected. He then rejoined them as the Witch had been killed.

"Stay together!" said Stan, but a Smoker sneaked up behind Boss and grabbed him.

"HANG ON!" yelled Stan and shot the Smoker dead and helped Boss up "Merry Christmas" he said as he helped Boss up and shot at an infected with her pistol.

"Guys?" asked Panda. Then he got a pipebomb out. He threw it. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" he yelled as the pipebomb flung around and attracted the infected. It exploded killing the infected nearby. Hamtaro got up and noticed the rescue helicopter.

"HEY!" called Hamtaro as he chased the Helicopter. "WAIT UP!"

"Hamtaro, stop!" Panda called, but he did not hear him. He quickly ran after him before Boss or Stan could object.

No one saw the dark figure stalking Hamtaro from the rooftops. Another bolt of lightning flashed overhead.

"HEEEEEEY!" Hamtaro screamed, running out into the street after the helicopter. "WE'RE DOWN HERE!" If the helicopter pilot noticed the desperate bid for his attention, he did not show it. "WE'RE NOT INFECTED!" the orande and white haired boy yelled, his voice cracking. But alas, the Helicopter flew out of sight.

"DAMMIT!" growled Hamtaro but the dark figure hanging down from the rooftop behind, eyeing him down hungrily. With an ear-splitting scream, the figure, known as the Hunter, sneaked behind and jumped on him. It slammed into its prey and pinned him to the road, slashing at his chest mercilessly with its claws. Hamtaro screamed in shock and pain. Panda, who saw everything, came in and pushed the Hunter off of Hamtaro and he and Hamtaro killed the Hunter with their final shots on the Hunter which landed on the nearby car, and activated the car alarm.

"Whoops..." Panda muttered as he and Stan ran out of the alleyway into the street.

"Oh this is gonna get bad..." said Boss, knowing that was gonna happen.

Then the deafening roar of the incoming horde grew louder as they approached. Lightning flashed across the sky again and momentarily showed countless shadows of people dancing across the buildings as they closed in on the four survivors. And then a Tank rumbled towards them throwing a car that the Ham-Hams missed.

"Run or Shoot?" asked Hamtaro rhetorically as he backed off. "RUN OR SHOOT?!"

"Both!" replied Boss and they ran and opened fire at the Tank into an alleyway where there was a ladder.

"GET TO THE ROOF!" Called Hamtaro and started climbing the ladder. Stan stopped and aimed his shotgun at the Tank. "COME ON! COME ON!" He snarled as the Tank almost attacked him, but Boss opened fire and dodged the Tank's attack. The Enraged Tank began to chase the Ham-Hams up the ladder.

"GO!" called Panda "I'll hold them off!" as the Ham-Hams climbed up the Ladder with the Tank in hot pursuit, climbing the ladder but it almost gave way and left Panda clinging on. "Panda!" he yelled as Stan grabbed her as the Tank fell on the ground.

Stan helped Panda up as the Ham-Hams sat down. "Whew" said Hamtaro. "I can't believe we made it"

"Kid," said Boss. "we've just crossed the Street, lets not throw a party until we are out of the city." He was sitting down on a step with his back to the rest of the group as he cupped his hands to his mouth to light up another cigarette.

He stood up and walked over to the far edge of the roof. Stan joined him and they looked out over the city, being laid to waste by its own frenzied citizens. Fires and smoke could be seen in every direction, and the air echoed with the sound of howling. The city was never free of the howling.

No, this was just the beginning...
