What's happening guys newest fanfic writer Superior Dragon Knight and today I'm here to bring you a story idea that has been raging in my mind since the release of Dying Light. Granted I already have another story still ready to be finished I just wanted to get this one out of my system, so I will have to juggle two stories. Now this story is still in Harran but I just wanted to point out that the HOTD crew will appear in this story. My OC like many others in Harran knows parkour so that's going to be tricky writing all these climbing sequences and everything. Another thing is my OC/cannon relationship, now I know there are all these Saeko/OC pairing and everything but I would like you guys to give a vote for this. But first read my story, get a view on my characters personality and prowess, then give me a pairing and I don't think Shizuka is a proper choice mainly because my character is 17. It will either be Saeko, Rei or Takagi so read on then pm me some pairing ideas which later into the story I will rack up and make the final choice. Caution, rated M for language, gore, and very descriptive sex scenes…. Later in the story wink, wink.
Chapter 1 Things go from bad to worse
Standing ontop the roof of drug store, I looked out across the zombie infected streets of the Slums. Blood stained the pavement where an unlucky survivor I tried to save had been rip apart by the horde of Biters the stumbled around the street, looking up at me as the stupidly stumbled over the barracked of spikes some random survivors had been setting up all around the Slums. I gazed in disgust at the undead fuckers as they just reached their arms up at me, feebly trying to grab me while I stood 2 stories above them ontop the building.
Dumb motherfuckers, these bastards are easy to kill alone but are nightmares as hordes. Shifting my gaze, I looked over at the bloody remains of the unlucky survivor that had recently died under my care. His body was practically unrecognizable. His head had been ripped off and tossed to the side by the Biters as they proceeded to rip him apart, entrails were scattered about in a bloody mess around the street along with pieces of mangled flesh. Smashing my eyes shut, I looked away. It was my job to protect him, I was supposed to guide him to this drug store and find some Gauze and Alcohol for his injured brother that had been bitten by a Biter. Although he had received some Antizin, he still needed medical treatment. Fuck! Now I'm going to have to explain his death to his brother and the other survivors in the village not far from here.
Looking out across the horizon, past the row of buildings and concrete quarantine walls, the sun was beginning to set. I better haul my ass back to the village once I get the supplies, darkness brings death while you're in this city. Looked down from the building, I could see a broken window just 15 feet below me. Obviously someone or something had broken in looking for something. I made sure to calculate my jump before I leaped down, knowing that one slip could have me land in the wave of Biters waiting for me at the bottom of the building.
Stepping over the edge, I fell. The wind whooshed loudly in my ears as I began to pick up speed, the horde of moaning Biters looking up at my falling form expectantly. Hungering to devour my corpse as I neared them. Just before I hit the ground, I twisted around in midair and grabbed the ledge of the broken window, feeling the bones in my wrists all the way to my shoulders strain against my weight. Hauling myself over the ledge, I scrambled into the medical center through the broken window. Taking care to gaze around the room before setting foot inside the building.
It appeared as if a hurricane had torn through the room, it must have been an office before whatever entered the building destroyed it. Papers were scattered about around the floor, some of them covered in dried blood. A small desk had been over turned on the opposite side of the room with one of its legs broken off. As I stepped from the window, I heard something crash making me jerk my head towards the noises direction. Snarls escaped through the door as another crash came from through the room. Narrowing my eyes, I slowly drew my machete from my backpack. Taking slow and easy steps through the doorway, looking around to see what appeared to be a medical supplies room. Good, looks like I found the doctor's office. Keeping my machete drawn, I quickly began to search the room. Ripping cabinets open, I found nothing but empty space.
"Damn it!" I growled in frustration, looking through the blinds of a window inside the room. I watched as the sun began to disappear below the horizon. The sky was beginning to darken. Better get moving, quick. Returning my back to the search at hand, I glanced over to at a nearby desk and see a small mini fridge with a medical sign on it. Jackpot.
Running over to the fridge I grab the small black handle of the fridge and throw it open, revealing two packages of Guaze."Alright, now for the Alcohol." I muttered, stuffing the two packages into my backpack.
Once I had secured the Guaze in my backpack, I slide over the metal desk of the operation table and landed at the front of a set of stairs leading down to storage room below. Usually where they keep the Alcohol to keep it cool. Once again, I heard the snarls of some kind of creature escape from the dark room, along with a series of banging sounds. Taking a deep breath, I made my way down the steps, clicking my flashlight on which I had taped to my shoulders. The snarling grew louder as I stepped down the steps, looking over to see a trapped Biter moaning and snarling, slamming its shoulders against the metal wall of a garage door.
The undead motherfucker must have been trapped here for some time, mainly due to the fact I noticed the bloody remains of some poor bastard that feel victim to the Biter. His bloody bones were scattered about the blood stained floor of the storage building, bits and pieces of the man's flesh were still attached to the bones.
Finding myself at the bottom of the steps, the Biter was literally 10 feet away from me. Completely oblivious to me as I stepped up behind it. Catching wind of my scent, the Biter began to turn around. Moaning as it reached its arms out to grab me. Swiftly grabbing its arm, I tossed its arm to the side and brought my machete down. Splitting its skull open, reveling its brains. The Biter suddenly stiffened up, its arms falling limply to its sides as it fell over on its side, pulling my machete from its mangled skull.
Then, the sounds of nightmares came from outside. I froze, my heart pounding in my chest as the sounds came again, shrill screaming echoing out across the sky. Looking down at the crack of the garage door, I saw the ruminates of the suns light slowly turn die away. Shit! I have to move fast.
Not even bothering to search the room, I ran over to the nearest refrigerator and hurriedly opened it. Revealing one bottle of medical Alcohol. That'll have to be good enough. Swiping the bottle of liquid from the fridge, I rushed back up the stairs, nearly tripping over the Biters body as I hurried up the stairs. As I made it to the doctor's office upstairs a sound outside made me stop. It was a rutting sound, like some kind of animal foraging for food. It might have fooled other people, but I recognized that sound. A sound that made my heart stop and my spin freeze. Staring at the window across the room, I could see the stars scattered across the night sky and the full moon rising in the distance. It was night time now, and that was when the real monsters come out to play.
Then that sound came again, this time louder and in the form of a shrill screech that made my heart race. Ducking down behind the metal desk, I peeked out from the side of the desk as I heard glass shatter and fall to the floor. Ripping the blinds from the window along with it.
Standing in the middle of the broken glass was quite possibly the most terrifying creature in the world, a true monster. It was a Volatile, a broad shouldered infected, slightly taller than your average Biter. It was completely nude with exposed rib bones that flexed with each heavy breath it took. Exposed muscle tissue was visible along its bare chest and shoulders, and it wielded mandible jaw made clicking noises as it shifted its glowing orange bloodshot eyes around the room.
Shit, this damn creature was cutting off my escape route. Looking out from behind the desk I glanced over at the now open window in which the creature had entered. If I could distract the creature long enough, I could leap out the window and make a run for it. A very terrifying run. Looking over at the creature, I quickly ducked back behind the table as it tossed a feral glare at me. Slowly opening my backpack, I pulled out a mess of firecrackers tied together with a string and yanked out my lighter from my pockets, flicking it open and setting one of the firecrackers. Rising up from behind the desk, I flung the firecrackers through the doorway into the next room, watching as the Volatile instantly jerked its head into the direction of the firecrackers as they went off. Screeching as it dashed into the room after the noise.
Now was my chance, making a mad dash towards the window, I leaped out of the building and fell towards the ground. Rolling to a recover as I landed, without my parkour training a fall like that would have crippled anyone else. I looked up as I heard another screech, my flashlight landing on another Volatile just 30 feet away from me. Glaring at me hungrily as it made a lung towards me. Rolling out of the creature's way, I scrambled to my feet and made a run for it. Looking back for a split second to see the Volatile that I distracted with fireworks leap out from the window it had broken, landing with a grunt before it looked up and screamed at me, giving chance with the second Volatile right behind it. I looked forward, trying my hardest not to look back at the tailing predators knowing it would make me trip over something or bump into another Volatile. My heart was pounding in my ears, I panted ragged breaths as I hooked a left down an alleyway, nearly bumping into a stray Biter. Dodging around the Biter, a shiver traveled up my spin as I witness it begin to convulse, vomiting blood as it began to mutate.
Ignoring the Biters horrendous transformation, I placed a foot ontop its bald head while it was on its hands and knees and rocketed up into the air. Sailing over another incoming Volatile as it dashed down the alleyway towards me. Rolling to a recovery, I sprinted out of the alleyway. Dashing towards the building infront of me and leaping up, grabbing a low hanging roof made of rusted metal sheets. Pulling myself up, I quickly leaped up again and grabbed the iron railings of an overhanging patio and hauled myself up. Looking down for only a split second, I could see four Volatiles screeching at me from the street below. I looked down below me as I noticed two Night Walkers scrambling towards me, huffing and snarling as they scrambled up after me.
Frowning my eyebrows, I vaulted over the railing of the patio and landed on the metal sheet roof of a neighboring patio. Leaping up and grabbing the ledge of the roof above me. Pulling myself over the roofs edge, I ran across the open rooftops, occasionally looking back to see if any Volatiles or Night Walkers were still after me. When I was satisfied that I had lost the pursuit, I frowned my eyebrows and made my way across the rooftops. Heading back to the survivors camp not far from here. Dreading having to explain the survivors death to his brother and friends.
Leaping across a long gap, I managed to grab ahold of an air conditioner stationed on the side of the building and launched myself upwards, cat grabbing the ledge. When I pulled myself over the ledge and trotted across the rooftop, I froze when I caught sight of what used to be the survivors camp. Corpses of were scattered about with Night Walkers, Volatiles and unmutated Biters feasting app-on their remains. Fire raged around the wrecked camp, burning the several tents and small shops that used to house the survivors. I clenched my teeth and slammed my fist against the stone ledge of the building. There were kids in this fucking camp! Little kids that had their whole life ahead of them, and now their fucking dead!
"God damn it!" I screamed, my scream echoing across the night sky. The screeches of Volatiles returned my scream but I ignored them, I just stared down at the carnage below me. Fighting not to leap down there and kill every single fucking infected in the ruined camp. After a few sorrowful moments, I finally sighed. Rising up and looked to my left, in the distance I could see the Tower. That's where Brecken and his crew stay. I could head back and give them what little supplies I found, and give them the grim news of the village's death. Maybe even stay the night until morning before heading back to my safe zone.
Tossing one last glance at the dead village, I closed my eyes and sighed, looking up ahead toward the Tower. "Best get moving." I muttered to myself, dashing across the rooftop and leaping over the edge, landing on the next building as I made my way back to the Tower, leading from rooftop to rooftop

The calm sea air tickled my nose as I gaze out across the water, watching as city buildings began to draw closer and closer. We had finally gotten out of Tokonosu with the rest of our families, the only one who's family wasn't with us was Takagi's, as hard as it was for her to accept, her family was most likely dead. Tagging along with us once I found my mom was Rei's father, a chief of police. We managed to find a kindly ships captain that told us of a quarantined city that was safe from the Them. Although he was a shady old man that made me and the others feel uneasy about him, we had to take that chance of finally finding a safe place from Them. After sailing for 2 weeks, we finally reached the city but something was… off. I could see the lights in the distance but not many and the building that were closest to the docks were completely dark. Not a single person was up. Strange.
Staring at the approaching buildings I felt a hand rest on my shoulder,"Takashi-kun…"
I turned around to find the purple haired swordswomen Saeko Busujima standing beside me, a small smile on her face."You seemed troubled. Is something wrong?"
I sighed, looked back out across the water at the nearing docks,"Its just, those buildings don't have any lights." I looked over at Saeko, frowning,"And I swear I thought I heard screaming just a few minutes ago."
This news made Saeko frown her eyebrows,"What should we do?"
I stared at her for a moment before sighing," Lets see what this place has to offer before we do anything."
Looking back across the water, I heard Saeko whisper,"I'll wake the others."
I heard her footsteps retreat down the ships haul as she went down to wake the others, leaving me alone on the deck of the ship. Watching as it slowly began to draw closer to the docks.
After a few minutes of collecting our gear, everyone cautiously stepped off the boat. I couldn't help but feel a presence watching us. Something… predatory. Something was wrong. Looking behind me I saw Saeko, with her katana drawn, narrow her eyes as she gazed around at the trashed dock. Rei Miyamoto, my childhood friend, lifted her rifle and bayonet her mother and father standing beside her shooting suspicious glances at the ships caption as he walked across the dock, muttering something to himself. Takagi, along with Shizuka, the busty school nurse and our gunman Kohta Hirano, stood close to the little girl Alice and her dog Zeke both of them looked around uneasily. And surprisingly, Zeke hid underneath Alice, whimpering and shaking while shooting fearful glances up where the captain disappeared. Something was wrong.
Suddenly, we heard the captain scream.

Climbing up the side of the building, I stopped as I heard a series of screaming and yelling in the direction of the docks. Stopping at the edge of the roof, I looked down to see a Volatile ripping a man to pieces. His screams dying away to choking gasps as the monster spilled his entrails out onto the street. Another scream caught my attention as I looked down to see a group of people trying to hold off two incoming Volatiles. They were about my age, one of them a dark haired young man wielding a shotgun blasted at the Volatiles as they slowly closed the distance between them, swearing as the shots simply dug into their bodies but didn't stop them. One guy with thick black glasses and black hair that fell to his shoulders did the smart think and aimed for the head, he was grinning like a maniac as he proceeded to blast away at the Volatiles. His grin so turned into a shock expression as the shots didn't even stop the Volatiles, only pissing them off more.
The rest of the group were a bunch of girls, all of them were pretty good looking. One of them had purple hair running down to her waist, a katana in her hands as she and another rather attractive chestnut haired girl with hair falling to her waist as well hacked and stabbed at a few incoming Night Walkers, cussing at the strength and speed of the creatures while they desperately tried to defend a blond women with massive breasts and a pink hair chick with two long twin pig tails and glasses. Between those two was a little girl with pink hair watching the Volatiles with fearful pink eyes, in her arms she held a cowering white dog that yipped feebly at the closing in Volatiles.
Shit, better act quick. Drawing my machete, I jumped off the building and landed right ontop of a Volatile, slamming it onto the street pavement as I stabbed my machete into the back of its skull. Looking up at the stunned group of survivors, I yelled,"Run!"
Looking to my right, I slashed an incoming Volatile across the face stunning it long enough to run up to the group of survivors and yelled,"Follow me!"
They all instantly followed me, they didn't even questioned me about where they were going. The Tower was too far, more than likely they would all die if I tried to lead them there. Looks like we'll have to head to my safe zone not too far from here. Looking back I could see the skinny young man had all but discarded his shotgun and was now hauling ass right behind me, carrying the little girl in his arms as the purple hair chick and the girl with chestnut hair tailed right behind me their eyes wide with fear. The blond tailed behind them, her large breasts bouncing all over the place as she tried to keep up with the girl with long pink pigtails and glasses who tailed the three behind me. I noticed the large young man at the back of the pack was having trouble keeping up, he screamed as he looked back to see a Volatile begin to close in, ready to pounce. Sliding to a halt, I tore ass back to the young fat guy and leaped up into the air, drop kicking the split jawed motherfucker right behind him into a set of spikes that had been laid out by some survivor. The creature gave a dying gasp before falling limp against the spikes, blood trickling out of its jaws.
Jumping back onto my feet, I shoved the fat guy along since he stopped and stared at me in utter amazement along with the others."Go, go!" I yelled, shoving him forward. Dashing back ahead of the others, I hooked a left down a set of concrete stairs and jumped the railing, barely catching the curse of the purple haired chick and the skinny guy as I landed on the pile of trash bags below. I looked up at their shocked faces and called,"Jump, come on!"
They all just looked at each other but quickly hoped over the rail one at a time. When they all had made it to the bottom, the pink haired chick sweared,"God damn it are you trying to get us killed!"
"No I'm trying to save your ass!" I snarled, surprising her.
Turning my gaze upwards, I could hear the Volatiles drawing closer, they would be here any second. Looking out across the parking lot that the stairs led down to, I could see my safe zone shining with UV lights. Looking back at the others I said,"This way!"
Dashing across the parking lot, I looked back past the others to see a shit load of Volatiles and Night Walkers right behind us. Quickly beginning to close the distance between us. Swearing under my breath, I picked up the pace, sliding up to the door of my safe house and flinging it open,"Go, get inside!"
They all poured into the house, panting and gasping for air as they looked back infear at the incoming horde. I heard the chestnut hair chick yell,"Shut the fucking door! Hurry!"
Clearly they were new to Harran, which was surprising seeing as no one was allowed inside the city. Why the hell would the GRE let these people inside? Pushing the question aside, I looked up as I heard the Volatiles scream in pain as the UV light his their skin, making them light up like the fourth of July. The creatures skin sizzled and hissed as they desperately scrambled out of the UV light, screeching at me as I just stood there, watching them swing the hands at me in frustration. The Night Walkers that had joined in the pursuit merely growled at me while covering their eyes, trying to shield their eyes from the light.
I just stared at the snarling monsters as I backed my way into the house. Shutting the door behind me. I sighed in relief and exhaustion, this was the second time this night I had to run for my life, this time trying to save a group of careless survivors. Shifting my gaze to the group of survivors, I saw all of them were breathing heavily, obviously shaken having to run for their lives.
"Everyone ok?" I asked, setting my backpack and machete beside the door. I turned to them as the girl with purple hair sighed and sheathed her katana in its red sheath.
"We're a bit shaken but unharmed." She stepped up towards me, a small smile on her face as she said,"Thanks to you."
I returned the smile and gave a small nod,"No problem. Looked like you guys needed a little help. Names Michael by the way"
"Thank you Michael-san. My names Saeko Busujima," she introduced, looking back at the others as she began to introduce each of them one by one,"The girl on the couch is Rei Miyamoto and beside her is our doctor Shizuka Marikawa."
Shifting my gaze, I followed Saeko's finger and saw Rei, the chestnut hair girl with what appeared to be two antenne hairs, was crying in the arms of the blond nurse Shizuka. I frowned my eyebrows questioningly and asked,"Why is she…"
Saeko cut my question off,"Before you arrived and saved us, those… things killed Rei's mother and father." She paused and turned her gaze to the young skinny guy sitting in the corner, resting his forehead in the palm of his hand."Takashi lost his mother as well."
I just stared at both of them in pity. I know what its like to lose someone close, all to well. I looked over to see that Saeko was staring softly at Takashi but sighed and finished the introductions,"The one in the glasses is Takagi our strategist, and that's Kohta our gunmen."
I looked over to see Takagi and Kohta sitting at the table in the middle of the room, Kohta gave me a grateful smile,"Thank for saving my ass back there. I'd be dead if it wasn't for you."
"No problem." I smiled.
I looked over at the girl named Takagi, noticing a cross look on her face."You ok?" I asked, frowning my eyebrows.
She just glared at me for a moment before closing her eyes, sighing,"Yea, thanks for saving our asses back there."
"No problem." I repeated
After saying hello to Takagi and Kohta, now the little girl had stepped up to me. Looking up at me with wet pink eyes, the sides of her eyes were still red when she had cried from seeing the Volatiles. She held the little white dog in between her arms as she timidly said,"Thank you Mister. Alice thought Kohta-chan was about to be eaten by those monsters until you saved him."
I smiled down at the little girl, Alice, and rubbed the top of her head,"I wasn't about to let you get become monster chow."
Alice smiled up at me and held the little dog up towards me, cheerfully adding,"Zeke is also happy you saved Kohta-chan, aren't you Zeke."
The little white dog gave an acknowledging bark, wagging his tail happily as I patted the top of his head. Looking up, I saw Saeko walk over to Takashi and kneel down beside him whisper something to him before hugging him. I sighed mentally, I guess I best give these guys some space.
"Alright, I'm heading to bed. You guys will be safe here for the night. The UV lights will keep the Volatiles at bay. Theirs a few rooms upstairs for you to sleep in when you guys get tired." Making my way up to the doorway leading to the stairs, I stopped and added,"The room at the end of the hallway is mine."
And with that I left them to themselves. They all knew each other obviously so it would be best to just let them comfort each other, no need for me to get in the way or make things worse. Once I reach the top of the stairs I walked down the end of the hallway and entered my room, flopping down on my bed with a weary sigh. Tomorrow I'll head to the Tower to and inform Brecken about the village, and take these survivors with me. They'll be better off there than here. I don't want to be responsible for any more deaths.
