Prologue
Exerpt from a young girl's diary: Dated February 9th
Mum and dad have been watching the news a lot lately. I try to watch with them but they send me away. It must be serious. They're still watching it right now...Well, at least dad is. Mum was bitten by a dog yesterday. Dad seemed very upset about it but I don't see why? It was just a dog.
Mum has been in bed all day. Dad says she is very weak and I should not disturb her. I went to check up on her today and she looked very pale. I asked her if she was alright but she didn't answer me. Maybe she was asleep, but her eyes were wide open...
Anyway, I think daddy is calling me now.
February 10th
Daddy is insane! He shot mum! He shot her! I've been hiding ever since. I can't let him find me or he might hurt me too! Why did he kill her? She was just sleeping!
I hear something outside the cupboard...I think it's Rex, our puppy. He sounds angry. He doesn't usually growl like that...Maybe he's scared too. I'll keep him company!
I'll open the door and let him in.
The rest of the page was splattered in dark, dried blood. It's a safe bet that there were no more entries after that. This was one of the many items found upon scouring the corpse-ridden hell-hole that had become of a once quiet town.
Karakura was once a thriving place. It was growing into a great city. The people were happy. But then...An unfortunate news story changed everything...
Reports of the dead rising to walk among the living once again. Many treated it as a joke, but more and more stories arose. It became the only thing on the news within a day. The US was getting evacuated to escape the threat, but failed quarantine allowed the virus to spread.
Just one infected victim was on-board a flight to Tokyo. Within a few hours, not far from Tokyo airport, the infection spread throughout the passengers. The plane lost control and crash landed near the Onose river in Karakura Town.
The citizens though of it as just a plane crash, but soon it was apparent there was more to it than that. The infected were rushed to hospital where the virus spread amongst the patiens and soon into the highly populated town. It took one day for everything to turn on it's head. Thousands were dead, thousands more were undead.
Those who tried to fight for their lives usually failed. One such group consisted of a group of teenagers from the local highschool and some of the rescued Americans. They formed a shaky alliance and tried to escape, holing themselves up within the school, fortifying it as best they could. Their efforts were in vain as slowly their numbers dwindled to the point where only two of the group remained alive.
Those two were Alice, a resident of Raccoon city, the site of the outbreak and Karin Kurosaki, an eleven year old girl from Karakura. Both were rescued from certain death, their friends and family long gone.
They were taken to a remote refuge camp where other survivors were taking residence. It was not long until the undead hordes spread across the country and discovered the large gathering of fresh meat. They descended on them and the nightmare began again.
The fight for their lives had recommenced.
Meanwhile, in another world the souls of the deceased were experiencing a similar outbreak. The virus had mutated to make the matter of disposal even more difficult. The mutation caused the undead to be immune to soul-based weapons. Armed with the most primitive of weapons the defenders of the afterlife, Shinigami, waged their war for survival against the undead.
Both worlds suffered heavy losses and it seemed that there was no hope of victory, but the shinigami managed to turn the tables on their lifeless foes. They survived their battle. Meanwhile, on Earth the war still rages, corpses still rising from their shallow graves and attacking the living.
With many still dying and the situation growing far out of control, Soul Society turns it's main focus on the crisis in the world of the living.
The battle between the living and the dead had only just begun...
