AN: This is my first ever Highschool of the Dead fanfic. This is going to be a crossover between Highschool of the Dead and Left 4 Dead because I am overly obsessed with both of those. Both series are such wonderful creations!
They will be encountering both the special infected and campaigns!
Pairings: TakashixSaeko (my OTP... :3)
Changes of the Dead
"Oh no..." Shizuka said as their vehicle came to a sudden stop. They had been traveling non-stop for hours, and by now, the car was out of fuel. Her brown eyes went to the fuel gauge on the dash board. "We're out of gas..."
"Why didn't you stop at the last gas station?" spoke an irritable voice from the person sitting next to her. Saya hadn't spoken much since they had left her mansion. She had been too depressed after being forced away from her parents as the Takagi manor was in flames and a hoarde rushed towards the burning building.
"I-I couldn't! There was so many of the out there a-and we had to get out of there." The nurse didn't look at the pink haired genius. "I'm sorry!"
From behind her, Takashi reached up and placed a comforting hand on the blond woman's shoulder. "Don't worry about it," he began. "At least it got us out of Tokonosu." The brown haired teen looked up ahead and pointed towards street sign. "That sign says there is a gas station to miles ahead. We'll go get some fuel." He turned and nodded at two of his teammate, Saeko, for them to come along with him.
Rei watched as the two piled out of the vehicle, trying not to show her distaste for Takashi and Saeko being together. Takashi could sense her jealously, however, he knew that with the recent loss of both her home and parents that Saya was in no position to fight. Also, Shizuka had no experience with shooting a gun, or weilding any type of weapon for that matter, and Alice was too young, so that meant for Rei and Kohta to stay behind incase any of "them" showed up. He doubted it would happen, but given the situation, they never knew when the infected beings would appear, and with the distance to the station, the more fighters, the better so that was the reason for him asking Saeko to come along.
"Be careful!" The nurse told them as they began to walk off. They didn't pay much mind to it.
Fortunately for the two of them, they had estimated that they had made it a quarter mile without encountering any of "them."
"I see a town up ahead," The violet hair swordswoman said.
Sure enough, there was the outline of a small town up the road. Takashi let out a sigh of relief. He was growing tired of walking.
The town had not been spared from the virus's deadly wave. It was filled with the bodies of those who had been killed, burnt down buildings, and crashed cars; just like the rest of the world. They had grown used to the gruesome sight by now, the massacred ghost town scene in front of them not bothering them at all.
Takashi sighed, catching the attention of his companion.
"Everything alright?" She asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.
He blushed lightly. "Uh, yeah. Everything's fine."
Saeko couldn't help but let out a low chuckle at Takashi's reaction. She was used to recieving such a reaction from him: the blushing and occassional turning away if she were to wear hardly any clothing around him and he would have to resist the urge to stare at her large chest.
Takashi shook his head and looked ahead of them. "There's the gas station." He smiled.
However, their relief was short lived as they walked closer to the station, for nailed to the store of rhe station was a large sign that read, "OUT OF GAS."
Takashi opened his mouth to curse, but was stopped by a low growling noise. Then the noise stopped, and neither of them noticed the dark hooded figure standing on top of an abandoned eighteen wheeler. It was when it let out its signature scream that they finally realized it was there. In a fluid movement, Saeko began to pull out her katana, but looked up in time to see a bullet pierce the creature's head. Thanks to their luck, the hooded creature landed on a near by car with a loud thud , and to make matter worse, the vehicle had a car alarm set, and it was set off as soon as the being made impact. The alarm was loud, and the quiet town quickly turned infested. They would have to fight.
Takashi took out the zombies as they approached, while Saeko stook to her usual close combat fighting.
The same feeling rose up inside the violet haired woman. The very feeling that she loved to feel whenever she would have to fight against the infected beings. Saeko loved killing them; she felt such a high amount of pleasure everytime she would bash the skulls of one of them. The bodies of the zombies lay before them in a matter if seconds.
All seemed calm until another car crash landed a mere ten feet away from where they were standing.
"What the hell...?" Saeko spoke as they turned in the direction the vehicle had came from.
This creature was massive. Much larger than any of the other zombies their team had encountered. It stopped and ripped part of the ground up, and then threw it at them.
The brown haired boy reached for his teammates hand, pulling her along with him as he begsn to run. "Behind here!" They hid behind the corner of the store. He knew when the zombie was close because of how much the ground shook under its large body. Takashi stood up from his crouching position, his gun ready, for he wanted to kill the creature as it approached them.
He took a brave step out of where they were and aimed. He pulled the trigger.
'Click!'
Nothing. He had run out of ammo when they had fought the hoarde just a few minutes before. "Shit!"
The beast swung on of its large arms at him. Takashi's body was thrown off the ground and slammed against a nearby house. The force of the blow left a huge hole in the wall and Takashi unconsciouss.
Saeko watched as it ran at him again, going to finish him off. She couldn't move. The feeling of fear was something she wasn't used to. For the first time in a long time, she, Saeko Busujima was scared. How could she be? It was just another zombie.
'Just another one of them,' she thought.
The swordswoman stood up, once again pulling her katana out of its seathe. Her signature smirk appeared back on her face, the same one that would appear at the sight of any of "them".
From that moment on, everything seemed to move in slow motion. She ran towards the huge infected, jumping onto the tail gate of a truck parked in the house's driveway then onto the roof of said truck. Just as it was about to land the killing blow on her companion, that was when she made her own killing blow. She leaped off of the truck, the katana's blade pointing down as she came down on the massive zombie. Her sword's blade pierced right through it's skull, killing it in an instant. She stood proudly over her new kill.
Saeko was drawn back to reality when Takashi moaned in pain. She pulled the katana from the zombie and put it back in its place. She sat on her knees next to her injured companion, finding him still unconscious. Slowly, she put one of his arms over his shoulder. Saeko took him to the back room in the store and set him down on the ground. She would go back for his weapon later.
- Back at the car -
"What is that?" Kohta had his trusty gun pointed at a boney, pale creature. He didn't intend on shooting it, for now he was just using the scope on the gun to get a better look at the mysterious weeper. "It sure as hell ain't human."
"Why is it crying?" Rei whispered as it continued to cry.
"How should I know?"
The pale figures moaning slowly grew louder as it walked towards them, not sensing it was walking towards humans .
"So it's not human..." Saya said. She was watching the same thing as Kohta and Rei through the passanger seat window. "So that means it's a zombie like pretty much everyone else in the world besides us." She continued to analyze it. "However, this thing is different from the other ones. It doesn't seem to notice that was are by it. It's too busy crying."
The sound eminating from the figure changed to a growling. Its position also began to change. It began to remove its hand from its face, showing its pale white skin and glowing red eyes. The growling grew louder.
Kohta quickly shut the sun roof of the vehicle as it let out a high pitched scream. It was about to attack them, but once it saw it had no way to get to them, it covered its face again and returned to crying, turning and walking in a new direction.
- Back in the town -
Saeko had barricaded the room she had sheltered Takashi and herself - but not after she had gathered a few useful items. She was about to doze off when she saw Takashi stur and finally began to regan consciousness. He moaned in pain again. Saeko moved towards him.
"Don't move too much," she warned him. She put a hand against his rib cage lightly. "With the hit you took I wouldn't be surprised if you had a few broken bones and a cocussion."
Takashi sighed. "That thing... what happened to it?"
She looked down at him. "I took care of it. Don't worry." She decided to change the subject from the massive zombie to something else. "I saw you had a few cuts, so I went ahead an wrapped them up for you." She showed him an ace bandage wrapped around his shin.
He sat up. "Where did you get this stuff?"
"I found a few things lying around town. It's odd to find first aid kits lying around, but this one was from an ambulance..." She smiled lightly. "After that "thing" was killed there weren't anymore showing up, so I walked around town. I found another gas station a few minutes up the street." Saeko showed him the two containers of gasoline that she had gathered.
When she reached over to pull the containers towards them, Takashi took noticed of a bandage wrapped around her own wrist and grabbed it.
"What's this? Did you get bitten?" He quickly grew worried for her.
Saeko's expression didn't change. "Relax. When I got to the gas station, I tripped and fell on some broken glass. I'm alright."
He stared at the bandage a while, finding it strange how this was the only injured part of her. Her would have expected a dew more cuts on her if she had fallen onto glass. After what seemed like hours, he released her. "Let's get back to the others." He said as he reached for his gun.
"Are you sure? You're hurt, Takashi."
"I'll manage." He slowly stood up. "We need to get back before the others run into these things."
AN: I should have finished this an hour ago, like after the Tank showed up, but no. I wanted to finish this. And yay! They got some achievements! :3
