Hello there peoples! :D
I've been reading "Apocalypse" Fanfics lately, and then wanted to write one myself. This will obviously be Fairy Tail characters trying to survive the Zombie Apocalypse, so that's this story's theme.
Lucy didn't quite come across as i originally imagined her to be, she plainly OOC, more- well, i'll let you figure it out for yourselves.
This is my first zombie fan fiction, as well as my first 'Fairy Tail' ever, so no flames if i screw something up please…
Anyway, there's not much else to say… except:
I do not own Fairy Tail! (Duh…)
START OF CHAPTER:
A white haired beauty was running for her life, gasping for breath while darting down a narrow alleyway in the once peaceful city go magnolia. Long snowy locks trailing in a streak behind her, as her per suers slowly gained on her.
What she found was a dead end, just like the people that were chasing her…
If they could even be called people.
She gasped as the moans and the smell of rotting flesh invaded her senses. Oh, how she wished her brother were here, she missed them so much since she last saw them a few days ago.
They were here. The undead that is. It was about six months ago this had all started. Everyone knew the sad story….
The only son of the famous scientist Makarov, had been doing a lot of illegal research in his lab. Ivan, the man's name was, and he was vicious and cruel, using his enemies to test on. Heart-breaking to his father and his own son, Laxus.
He had eventually succeeded, unleashing these shell imitations of people on the city's high-school, Magnolia high. (Original i know….)
Everyone had scattered in all directions immediately, and all hell that looked like it belonged in a horror movie broke loose. Innocent teenagers were infected that day, and whoever survived went underground. The high-school was now abandoned, being dubbed the place of ultimate death, "Zombie's Castle"
Mirajane Strauss had always been a talented girl, in the middle of high-school with just above average grades, and she had a kind heart that had made her popular around the school before the crisis occurred.
The survivors were nowadays split into gangs, or "Guilds" as some people called them, some just out for themselves seeking to dominate other gangs, but most just were there to survive. Mira was part of one herself, a well-known one by the name of "Fairy Tail"
She had been separated from her team mates while out on a mission to track some of the undead that had been recently began to act strangely…
But tonight she had made a fatal mistake. She had believed she was safe, and had stayed too long outside after dark, when the undead were the most active. Leading to her current alleyway situation.
Finally, one got too close to her, and she backed away and screamed. No other sound apart from the undead could be heard, no-one seemed to hear her. That's sadly how most of the world operated these days; Kill or be killed.
Just as they were closing in on her again, she heard the roar of the engine. It was a black and red motorbike, and the sides were fitted with weapons of some kind, that shot bullets or whatever else the driver wanted at the zombies.
"Take this you undead bastards!" Was exclaimed into the night. Whoever this mystery girl was, she was certainly brave, that was for sure.
As the previously mentioned badass-looking red and black motorbike tore through the undead, all Mira could see of the driver was a long mane of blonde hair, and a long black coat. (PLEASE none of you think it's one of those boring cliche trench coats…)
When most of them were gone, Mira finally snapped out of the trance she had while trying to recognise the driver. She reached into the hidden pocket of her knee length skirt for the emergency handgun she kept. When her hand only found a small amount of spare bullets there, her face paled almost as white as her hair.
but the mysterious blonde had stopped to a screeching halt, and leaped of her bike, Mira was expecting a gun or a sword of some type. But the girl, who looked about her age, of all things, pulled out a whip, something she definitely not expecting.
The whip looked to be black and gold, this blonde seemed to like black. With surprising easy and skill, picked off the remaining undead one at a time, kicking and punching, oh, and we can't forget the flipping, like she was an acrobat. If she was, she would put an olympic gold-medalist to shame easily.
One tried to sneak up behind her, but before she could think of reacting, the other girl tackled her to the ground, blond hair obscuring her vision, but not her hearing when she heard the sound of an unusual gunshot, must have pulled out a personalised gun.
After a short while, the last zombie had been accounted for, and both Mira and the stranger blonde were now on opposite sides of the alley. Now it was even darker out than before.
"Were you trying to get yourself killed snow girl?" It didn't register to her at the moment that the girl had just poked fun at her hair colour, she was curious who this blonde that saved her was.
"What's your name? Was the first question she decided to ask. The blonde regarded her for a moment, then answered.
"The name's Lucy. Who are you snow-head?" Again, if Mira was insulted by the jab at her hair, she chose to ignore it.
"Mirajane Strauss, nice to meet you Lucy." She held out her hand, Lucy dared at it curiously for a moment, then shook it.
"Know your way home, or do ya need a ride?" Lucy asked. Mira stared at one exit from the alley, then to the other end.
"Could you please give me a ride to Fairy Tail?" Lucy raised an eyebrow, but said nothing as they both got on Lucy's motorbike and they sped away into the night.
"So where's your guild Lucy?" Mira was making small talk, but she also wanted to know a little about the girl that had saved her life. It was silent for a short minute before Lucy answered.
"Don't have one, never did, thought about it though once or twice." The rest of the ride was silent, save for the engine of Lucy's motorbike, when she pulled up at Fairy Tail's well defended and well guarded entrance, there was a scene Mira hadn't seen in a week.
The undead were pounding at the wall, that had been hastily built, but as well as you can in a crisis like this. There were hooded figures on guard towers of each corner with snipers, shooting a few zombies down each second. Then one was aimed at the girls, making Lucy screech the bike to a halt.
This immediately attracted the Zombie's attention, and they turned to investigate the newfound food source they smelt.
They got to the bike first, as they slowly formed a circle around the two girls, the two people immediately shouted for help. Lucy and Mira could vaguely make out what they were saying, they were more concerned about not being eaten alive.
"Hurry! There's two girls outside, and they're in trouble!"
"Elfman! Get your sorry ass out here! Your sisters about to be eaten!"
As the circle was about to close, Lucy made a split-second decision. She pushed Mira with all her might, making said girl stumble and safe into the arms of her conviniently-just-arrived comrade, away from the incoming undead. Which left Lucy with only two problems.
1- She was surrounded by zombies that wanted to eat her
2- She had dropped her whip
Said blonde cursed as the second one occurred to her, pulling out an object that had been previously strapped across her back. It was a shiny silver baseball bat, with a smooth surface and sharp edges specially sharpened for this exact purpose.
MIRA'S P.O.V
Was Lucy insane?! She pushed me away from those man-eating zombies… but now she's done for.
My comrade and fellow gang/guild member, Grey, had just arrived and caught me when Lucy pushed me.
"Damn, that girl's insane" He had just summarised what we both were thinking. We saw her pull out the bat, and both our jaws dropped. She wanted to fight that many zombies with just a metal bat?
But she had amazed us, yet again. Swinging, kicking, and viciously punching with a feral snarl on her face, slowly but surely she was winning.
But then her luck ran out. One of the zombies had been hanging out in the back of their little pack, and pounced and landed a fist to the side of her head, i think it scratched her a little. She just snarled and kicked it in the head with a creepily satisfied grin on her face.
That was when the snipers changed into machine guns, mowing down zombies with ease, both taking care not to hit Lucy, who i long decided was my new friend.
Once all the undead were dealt with (at least for now), Lucy just looked around, a dazed expression now on her face.
She turned to walk away, and Grey ran after her. He was just in time to catch her as she collapsed soundlessly.
I felt tears forming in my eyes. "Is she gonna be okay?"
END OF CHAPTER
Wow, that took longer than i thought it would to write. I usually just make my chapters about 1,000 words, cause i'm just not good at dragging my chapters out for like 2,000-3,000 words each. At least, not most of the time.
So instead of the regular Lucy from the anime (Remember i'm not a manga person) I've made her the more bad-ass rebel type, being a tomboy myself.
It just occurred to me that the only article of clothing i have described so far is Mira's skirt, oh well, not going back now, you guys should all know what they usually wear. Except Lucy, think of her normal clothes, just darker colours such as black, red, blue, and purple.
So thats all for now, anything you weren't happy with or just general feedback, let me know! :D
