Chapter 1: The Nightmare Starts Again
Frank West, Chuck Green, and Nick Ramos helped stop most of the outbreaks in the States after 3 long years of going into infected areas and giving the cure in their blood (Nick Ramos gave Frank West and Chuck Green the cure in his blood sense they were the two most well-known survivors of the zombie out breaks) to facilities that could distribute the cure on a large scale.
While Chuck and Nick had lives that they could pick up from or start over again in the States, Frank West didn't really have a home anywhere since he lived the life on a bachelor for the most part, but has his occasional loves every now and then.
Considering all the shit that he has been through for the past 10 years of his life, he wanted to see other parts of the world before he passed on, and perhaps to get away from all the hardships he has endured over the years. His luck has been hit and miss over the decade, but he would say it was mostly a big pile of shit, his luck was soon going to bite him in the ass again as it did 10 years ago.
Looking over a simple globe of the world to find a feeling for the place he would like to visit first, Frank eventually decided on Japan for a new experience and hoped that the women there were the same in the anime they produce. While still a nomad of sorts, Frank West still had a decent amount of funds from his previous exploits and documentaries, as well as the publicity that he gained from helping ending the outbreaks in the States. He bought a plane ticket to Japan in first class seating and mellowed over the paradise that he believed would be there waiting for him.
While there were no mass scaled outbreaks in the States anymore, there were those whose immune systems that were not strong enough to combat the plague their entire life even though they were given the cure in the blood. A desire to see a catastrophe end can often lead to oversights, which was the case for an elderly man who boarded the same plane as Frank West.
When the plane was close to the destined airport in Japan, the plague in the old man began to resurface as he died and was brought back from the dead by it. Frank had ear pieces in as he listened to his favorite songs on his smart phone, and was unaware of what was brewing in coach. When the plane was descending, Frank got up from his nap and immediately noticed the horrified faces on the other passengers in front of them as they pointed towards the curtain between first class and coach.
Frank was quick to respond as he got up and faced the curtain and heard noises that have haunted him for years: The moans of the undead.
Frank:" WTF?! I thought that it was wiped out! How can it be here of all places!?" he thought to himself with utter disbelief.
Frank readied himself for a fight as he searched first class for anything he could use as a weapon. He managed to find a solid aluminum bat in a suitcase 3 rows in front of him.
Frank:" Perfect!" he thought aloud and he prepared for the worst.
Frank pulled out an empty jar from a satchel strapped around his chest as he prepared to not only defend himself, but catch any queens that he may find. It didn't take long at all for the undead passengers in coach to make their way to first class and help themselves to the unsuspecting victims just waiting to be eaten alive. Frank was near the front of the plane and was unable to save those in the back of first class. He rushed forward with bat in hand as he splattered brains and other viscera on the seats and windows.
While these zombies were interested in infecting and eating all the live passengers, they did not all attack Frank. Some moved over the seats beside him and attacked the front passengers and the pilots. Frank was too busy with the zombies and queen insects in front of him to notice that the pilots were now being attacked, but was made immediately aware of it when the plane took a nose dive.
Frank:" Fuck! Guess I'm the only one left alive here. I guess I need to bail then." He complained aloud as he searched for a parachute.
Zombies began to fly backwards as the plane was falling from a moderate altitude at a high rate of speed. Frank used the chairs as platforms as he made his way to the nearest parachute he could find. He managed to grab one near an emergency hatch and opened it as he flew out the doomed plane.
Frank:" It's probably too much to ask that all of them die in the crash. Hope I can stop the stragglers before Japan is fucked." He thought as he was in free fall.
Frank deployed the parachute and landed on a busy road in a small city; fortunately he landed on the sidewalk.
Frank:" Why is my luck always so random?!" he thought to himself with disdain.
Taking off the parachute and getting a large amount of stares from drivers and other passing citizens, Frank decided to prepare himself for what he knew was soon to happen.
Frank strapped the aluminum bat on his back as he searched for anything that looked like either a gun store or a hardware store. While he didn't know much Japanese at all, there were translations on some of the store signs. He found a bank and traded the money that he had for the equivalent amount in Japan's currency.
Frank was in a hurry to be prepared as he jogged his way to a gun store that was nearby. He bought an assault rifle that was light and could hold a lot of ammunition as well as a belt of bullets for it, and bought a semi-automatic pistol. He then went to the nearest hardware store and bought a machete, knife, axe, flashlight with batteries, and a thick piece of rebar.
"Looks like you're preparing for a disaster to happen." The cashier stated with curiosity.
Frank:" That's exactly what I'm preparing for."
No sooner did he utter his reply did he hear screams from outside.
Frank:" How fast are these fuckers!?" he thought aloud.
While the zombies themselves are quite slow, they do spread very quickly in heavily populated areas. Frank looked around the store and brought a lawnmower to the front of the store that he filled with gas.
The cashier didn't take long to figure out why Frank was doing this when he heard the moans of the undead that walked slowly through the automated doors.
Frank started the engine of the mower and laughed manically.
Frank:" Guess the shit party is starting all over again for me!" he shouted as he ran forward and mowed the zombies in front of him.
