Book of The Dead: Chapter 1: Destined to Go East
Disclaimer: I do not own Book of Eli or Highschool of The Dead.
"I heard a voice inside my head: Take the book and head East"
Eli had done what the voice in his head told him. He wasn't crazy, he knew that he was given a mission that he had to start, and finish. He was told to go so far east that he eventually ended up in Japan. He had been there for only four days and then all hell broke loose. The dead had risen and before he knew it, there was barely anyone left that was actually living.
Eli walked down the street. Off in the distance he could hear the gunshots that broke through the open air. Eli could tell that somewhere in the distance. someone or some people were fighting for their lives at the moment. Usually he would take a detour telling himself that it wasn't any of his business. But for some reason the voice in his head told him to move towards it.
"Perfect." Eli thought to himself. He truly hoped that he was blessed enough to survive what he was walking towards. He began to break into a sprint towards the sound of the action. As he got closer he could hear the groaning of the dead. He continued to hear the shots that sounded even louder as he got closer.
Takashi continued to miss while using the scoped rifle with Rei on the ground.
"We're going to die here." He thought to himself as the gun went dry.
"I refuse to die here! I'm a genius!" Saya said out loud as she raised the shotgun up. She had loaded two shells into it and pulled the trigger. The shot knocked a zombie backwords. Saya shot again. This time knocking two back. "Oh no..." She said to herself as the gun merely clicked. She couldn't find anymore ammunition. She stumbled back and tripped and fell to the ground as a zombie came right towards her.
She screamed, thinking it was the end of the team's line. When out of nowhere two shot rang out and downed the zombie. Saya looked to her right and saw an Black man of above average height. He sported desert camo cargo pants and a beige jacket. On his back was a backpack with what seemed to be a shotgun poking out of it.
Eli aimed his pistol in the direction of another zombie and unloaded five more rounds. each one killing a seperate zombie. He lended his hand to saya.
"If you wanna live I suggest you get up." Eli shouted as he used his other hand to unload more rounds from his pistol. He heard the sounds of a few other survivors. He was able to sense that there were more females in the group than guys. He heard the revving engine of what could have been a truck.
Saya took his hand and rose to her feet. "Who was this guy" She thought. Eli could also hear the swaying sound of what may have been a blunt weapon. Eli was not about to let this person get bitten. He grabbed the shotgun out of his hands and forced it into Saya's hands.
"Aim the gun at there chests, because there will be recoile." He slid his empty pistol into it's holster.
"But what about you?" her jaw dropped as he drew a long machete out of his coat.
"Do more for others than you do for yourself I guess." He said to himself as he sighed. He rushed to Saeko's side and sliced an adjacent zombie's head off a zombie went for Eli's neck. he countered by landing a punch to it's throat. He procceded by cutting it's head off.
"Anytime you wanna back us up would be fine!" Eli shouted towards Saya. Saya got the message and fired the gun at the zombie's that surrounded Eli and Saeko. Loud burst could be heard as multiple zombie's hit the ground. Saya Pumped the shotgun again and prepared to fire. Even with the help of this newfound ally she was not sure of how they were going to make it.
