It was another silent night in Ohu, Gin had been sleeping peacefully in his room within Gajou, only to wake up. Slowly, he opened his eyes, yawning as he forced his body to wake up. The Akita stretched before standing up and walking out of his room. As he walked pass some of the other rooms, he realized that he was likely the only one awake, but since he was already awake, he saw no point in trying to go back to sleep. Besides, it wasn't the first time he woke up this early, so he might as well be up and about.
Outside of Gajou, Gin felt a cool breeze before he looked up at the moon. Judging by the spot it was in, it was likely around midnight or almost midnight. That made Gin want to go back to sleep, but he still thought there was no point in going back to sleep since he was already up. The Akita could even begin to feel some energy due to being awake, and it would be harder for him to go back to sleep anyway. Not to mention, he enjoyed the night, the darkness made it easy for the stars to be seen. To him, the night made the world even more beautiful.
Although, it did seem kinda boring to be out alone when there wasn't much for him to do. His friends wouldn't be awake for at least seven more hours, so he didn't have anyone to talk to until then. So what was he going to do tonight? Then, an idea came to him.
"I could go visit Daisuke. He's still saving up for his own place, so I can find him at his parents' house." He said to himself before he began making his way there.
About half an hour later, Gin arrived to Daisuke's parents' house in Tokobu Valley. It was quiet, of course. Daisuke and his parents were likely asleep, but the Akita could still wait until they woke up. So he walked in through the doggie door, only to freeze when he looked inside. The living room was a mess, as if Daisuke and his parents were in some kind of hurry.
His ear perked up when he heard voices coming from the living room, so he went in to see that the TV was on and it was showing the news, and there was a young female news reporter currently standing across the street from a hospital.
"We've received reports that the victims afflicted with the infection have been showing signs of increased aggression."
"Aggression? The hell's going on?" Gin asked himself.
"The military has authorized an immediate evacuation to the south of Japan. It is unknown as to what is going on, but the military has advised not to approach the infected, as they are extremely dangerous."
"We need to get everybody out of here now." A soldier said to the reporter before an explosion came from the hospital. Then several people stumbled out of the hospital, all of them on fire, but they didn't seem to be in any pain whatsoever. A soldier aimed his weapon at one of them, ordering them to stop. However, they did not and one of the stumbling people grabbed onto him before biting into his neck.
Gin gasped in horror before the signal cut out. "Zombies?" He remembered when he visited Daisuke a couple years back and they were watching a zombie movie. What that person did to that soldier was something only a zombie could do, and like a zombie, they did not feel pain. "I have to get back to Ohu."
In Ohu, John and Akame had woken up and saw that Gin wasn't in Gajou, so they had gone outside to look around for their friend. However, they did not find him. Instead, they found Sniper, but something wasn't right with the Doberman. He was panting heavily, so he must've ran a great distance to get here. Not only that, but it seemed like he had been running from someone.
"What are you doing here?" John demanded as the others growled at their enemy.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Sniper replied. "I didn't come here to fight. I was trying to find a safe place. But now? I realize Japan itself my not be safe. In fact, I'm on my way down south to an airport in Ibaraki. There's one for the military, and it's my best bet."
"Hold on, what are you talking about? What do you mean Japan isn't safe?" Akame asked.
"Like I said, you wouldn't believe me if I told you." Sniper repeated. "Some crazy shit has begun up in Honshu, and it's making its way down here. Trust me, nowhere in Japan is safe."
"Guys!" Gin called out as he arrived. "Guys, we have to get out of -" The Akita paused when he saw his enemy. "Sniper, what are you doing here?"
"He says something's happening, but he won't tell us what." John answered.
Gin's eyes widened and he looked at the Doberman. "Is this about the zombies?"
Sniper's eyes widened. "You know about that?"
"Wait, zombies? Gin, what are you talking about?" John asked, clearly confused.
"I was in Tokobu Valley to visit Daisuke, but the house was a mess, like they left in a hurry. The news was on, and I saw zombie tear at a soldier's neck!" Gin exclaimed.
"Well, then you know why I have to pass through. Gin, I know we're enemies, but just give me one chance to live. I won't survive if I have to fight my way through your army." Sniper said.
"Well, take us with you. The military has already authorized an evacuation, and I think it's even worse than that."
"Oh, trust me, it's worse than that. I was in the north when I saw some awful carnage, and I was running past a lot of zombies for miles!"
"Then we're going with you. Wherever you're going is probably the only safe place."
"Gin, I'm leaving the country, and we're enemies." Sniper said.
"You honestly care about that when a zombie outbreak is going on?" Gin demanded. "Can't you see there are bigger problems?"
Sniper scoffed. "You're talking to me like that, when I'm the one who witnessed a guy being eaten alive?! This may be a big problem, but I don't know how I feel about leaving the country in a plane with my enemy."
Just then, a screeching sound was heard that made everyone tense up. The sound was completely unnatural, and it was getting closer.
"Oh shit, parasites." Sniper muttered.
"Well, you better decide, Sniper, because we both need to get out of here." Gin said.
The Doberman looked at the Akita, then looked at the direction where the screeching was coming from. Then he sighed in frustration. "Alright, but that doesn't mean I just trust you."
Gin snorted. "Believe me, Sniper. The feeling is neutral."
Then the parasites arrived; they were these unnatural looking canines, and it wasn't long before a majority of the Ohu soldier were attacked, each of them being torn apart.
"Holy shit." John cursed as he stared at the slaughter in shock and horror.
"RUN!" Sniper shouted.
