Team RWBY was in Professor Port's class, bored out of their skulls as always. Ruby was struggling to stay awake and to keep her heavy head from slamming on the desk. She looked to the clock and saw there was only 1 minute left until the bell rings. She immediately perked up and her head was no longer heavy. She then caught the last of Professor Port's rambling.
"Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds were not the same, to conquer was his goal. So he built his great empire then he slaughtered his own kind. Then he died a confused man, killed himself with his own mind." The bell then rung and all the students got their supplies together and exited the classroom.
Team RWBY then continued going through the day, unaware of the dangers they are soon going to face.
It was cool and quiet night. Team RWBY was in their dorm winding down after a hard day of work. Blake was, as always, reading, Yang was watching an action movie on her tablet, Ruby was studying and Weiss was painting her nails.
"Hey Weiss do you have the notes from today's Grimm Studies class?" Ruby asked. Weiss then got up, went to her bag and retrieved the notes and gave them to Ruby. Weiss was then going to sit back down on her bed but there was what appeared to be a knock on the door. That was followed by a low groan.
"Who the hell is that?" Weiss asked.
"Someone very rude and inconsiderate." Blake responded.
"Well what are you waiting for? Go see who it is." Ruby told Weiss. Weiss then opened the door and let out a small gasp of surprise and jumped back a bit. At the door there was a boy wearing the Beacon Uniform but it was bloodstained. The boy himself had blood coming from his mouth and around of his mouth. His eyes also had no life in them.
"Uh Can I help you?" Weiss asked impatiently. The zombie responded with a groan. Weiss then turned to look at her teammates with a 'what should I do look?'. Her teammates just shrugged.
Weiss then turned back to the boy but the boy then lunged at her. Weiss then shrieked as she struggled to keep the zombie from biting her. Her teammates instead of helping her just simply looked on in amusement.
"Whoa Weiss, looks like this guy really has the hots for you." Yang teased.
"Stop making jokes and HELP ME!" Weiss yelled. Weiss then fell and the boy fell on top of her and Weiss continued to struggle. That zombie was trying its damndest to bite her. Yang decided to intervene. She jumped down from her bed, grabbed the boy and threw him off her, throwing him all the way back to the hall. Weiss then got up and smoothed the wrinkles on her combat skirt.
"About time you guys helped me." Weiss said angrily.
"Are you okay Weiss?" Ruby said while chuckling. Weiss just gave her an angry look. The boy then stood up.
"What's with this guy?" Yang asked.
"I don't know, he looks sick." Weiss said.
The boy-zombie then started shambling towards them, though they were busy talking so they didn't notice.
"Maybe he's a zombie or something." Ruby said.
"Nah there's no way." Yang dismissed.
The boy then in a low guttural voice said, "Brains…"
"I don't think that proves anything, this could be a sick joke or something." Weiss said. The zombie then was back in the room and was getting closer to the trio but they were too busy bickering to notice. Blake then chopped off the zombie's head with Gambol Shroud
"Whoa! Blake we didn't even figure out if he was a zombie." Yang said.
Blake then turned around to face them and pointed to the window, "Look outside." Blake said.
Yang, Weiss and Ruby went to the window to look outside but were unprepared for the horror and carnage that was outside.
There were half eaten corpses on the ground. There were corpses being eaten. There were students still alive being eaten, struggling to get free. There were students fighting against the undead. Some were trying in vain to save their fellow classmates from the zombies. The trio watched in horror as the students kept falling one by one and were being re-animated. The saw one guy fighting against zombies with a sword, chopping off heads, he then started running but tripped and fell. He screamed, "No no no no NO-AAAHH" as the zombies closed in on him and began to eat him alive.
"Holy shit, zombies are real…" Ruby muttered. They pried themselves away from the window. They still couldn't believe what they just saw. Ruby sat on the floor, shocked. Weiss sat down on her bed and Yang stayed standing up and shaking her head trying her hardest to convince herself this was just a bad dream.
"No…this can't be happening…is this how it all ends?" Weiss said softly. She then put her head on her hands and started sobbing. Blake sat on her bed and just looked at the floor sadly.
"I always knew zombies were real, but I never wanted to actually see any." Yang said.
"So this is how we're going to die." Weiss said grimly.
"No!" Ruby said, grabbing her teammates' attention.
"We're not going to die this way, we have to get out of here, we have to escape."
"But Ruby did you see all those zombies outside? There is no way we can get out of here!" Weiss said worriedly.
"We'll never know until we try. We can't just stay here and wait to die."
"Ruby right, we have to try to escape." Blake said while standing up.
"I guess it is better than doing nothing." Weiss said while also standing up.
"Okay then, here's the plan." Weiss, Blake, and Yang said simultaneously. The three girls then gave each other angry looks.
"No we're doing my plan!" Weiss said angrily.
"No we're doing my plan." Yang said to Weiss.
"Ugh, you guys are morons." Ruby said exasperated.
"Ruby's right, you guys are morons, we're doing my plan" Blake said. Ruby then gave an angry sigh and sat down on Weiss' bed.
"Okay look, I'm the smartest so we should do my plan since it's obviously going to be better than you two's plans." Weiss said putting her hands on her hip.
"Look princess, I've seen every zombie movie ever made! I'm basically an expert on zombies." Yang said smugly.
"If you're such an expert then how did you not realize that boy was a zombie? If it weren't for me intervening, you two would have been eaten. So we should follow my plan." Blake said.
"Oh please, I could have handled that zombie, in fact I could probably kill more zombies than you two combined." Weiss said.
"Pssh, I'm the best fighter in this team, I could probably kill all the zombies myself!" Yang proclaimed.
Blake scoffed and said, "Don't be silly, I'm the better fighter."
The three girls kept arguing while Ruby looked on. She then grimly said,
"We're only gonna die from our own arrogance."
A/N: Welcome to the third story of my Big Three. Delirium of Disorder and I Don't Want To Be Here Anymore are the other two. I've wanted to do this idea for a while, so I'm actually now doing it.
