Yo guys! I've just started my second year in university and at class today, I began to wonder how it would be like if the Haikyuu characters were thrown into a dystopian future as soldiers? I've read some fanfiction about them being soldiers and I have to say, they're so cool in it and I happen to be studying a module that had been gamified to mirror a zombie apocolypse situation so I thought, hey, why not write this down?
I probably shouldn't be doing this because I have a lot of work in my hands so if this doesn't work out too well, I may or may not continue this (currently there isn't much idea in my mind on how this would work but its a working progress!) but I hope you guys would like this.
So the Karasuno guys will meet up first and slowly but surely, we'll see the other teams (I have to include the Aoba Johsai team since I love Oikawa and Iwaizumi. Kyah!)
Now sit back and enjoy the ride.
I don't own the characters.
Hinata panted as he ran, the small girl in his arms shivering as he whispered words to her. "Don't worry. We're almost there. We're almost there," he whispered, the words not registering in his mind since he had ran away from home with her an hour earlier. His feet ached but his mind was set on one thing ; getting his sister to safety, even if it cost him his life.
The virus had come out from nowhere, infected in the country's population within 24 hours of its release. Some say it was from a military base and the virus had been a prototype bioweapon and as it turned out, it was more effective in turning people into mindless zombies and making them attack and infect others than actually making sure a country was safe from their enemies. Hinata's parents had gone down with the virus and when his sister started to show signs of being infected, he didn't hesistate as he ran out of the door, ignoring the ravaged screams of his parents as he ran out.
His feet were aching from all the running up the hill and from the weight of his sister, her small form shivering as they neared a large building. He had passed by this school many times and had planned to go there for high school before the world went to shit. He was supposed to play volleyball and become the Little Giant, not running for his life and hopefully be able to save his sister in the process. Her coughs were increasing and her body was hot with fever.
"Onichan, I don't feel so good…" she whispered as Hinata patted her on the back. "Don't worry, we're nearly there. You see, Karasuno High School!" he panted as he rushed through the school gates, civilians of all ages and sizes gathering in the small parking lot and getting sorted out into groups. "Come on you two, this way! All civilians, prepared to get scanned before entering the safe zone!" a soldier shouted as Hinata gulped, the gun in his hand at ready to shot anyone that didn't follow orders.
"My sister. She needs medical attention. Can you help her?" he begged as a doctor rushed past, a mask on his face. His frowned as he turned to look at the little girl, shaking his head as he whispered, "I'm sorry, but she's been infected." Hinata's heart dropped, although he already knew what had happened to her but hearing it out loud just made it worse for him. "You're a doctor! You're supposed to be able to heal her right? Please, save my sister! We've already lost our parents! I can lose her too!" "I know kid! What do you think I've been doing since all this shit started?! Until we can get a cure, she will have to remain in the medical wing for further survellaince. Is that clear?" he snapped as Natsu coughed.
"Take her to the med bay. Keep her isolated I don't want any more cases of people getting infected when there's a chance of them turning into zombies as well," he snarled to a soldier, who made a grab for Natsu. "Come on, kid. I'll take her to where she'll be safe." He's voice was much kinder than the doctor despite how menacing he looked with the gun, making Hinata hand over his sister hesitantly to him.
"The doc is just tired from all this. He's actually a nice guy. Once you get screened, go over to the gym and check in with the group leader there," he said as he patted Hinata on the shoulder. Hinata's eyes didn't leave his sister's frail form as she was carried away by the soldier, nothing coming out of his throat as he tried to rasp out the words. Was goodbye appropriate? She wasn't going to die, was she? She couldn't… she couldn't go…
"Come on, kid. Let's get you screened," another soldier said as he nudged Hinata to the line of people in front. After getting himself checked out, he numbly made his way down the corridor to the gym, its doors closed but the voices beyond it audible as he put a hand on the door. As he was about to push it, he saw another hand pushing against it and both of them tumbled into the gym, Hinata landing on his face due to the exhaustion of everything.
"Hey, watch it!" he snapped as he turned to see a boy is age scowling at him. His blue eyes were wide with rage and tear tracks ran along his cheeks as he scrubbed his face. "Shut it," he snarled as he stomped off to the corner. All around the gym, people were huddling each other, if they were lucky enough to be able to make it alive and uninfected or others were just sitting in the corners, looking at the ceiling as they wondered what lay ahead of them. A group of boys were huddled in the corner, one of them sobbing as the other patted him on the back.
Hinata made his way to the stage and plopped down, looking around the gym where he was. "This was where the Little Giant played I supposed," he mumbled as he looked at the shiny floor that would have once be used to play volleyball. Heck, some people would have been playing on it a few days prior and he could even smell the lingering scent of sports spray. As the day went on and people began to fill in, Hinata's mind began to wander to the beginning of the madness.
He and his sister were just sitting in the room, playing with the volleyball Hinata had until his parents cranked up the tv and the newsperson spoke. "There has been a virus breakout throughout the country. The virus had supposedly broke out in Hiroshima about half an hour ago but because of it being airborne and the officials not being able to disclose what sort of virus it is, the virus would have spread throughout most neighbouring areas within Hiroshima in the next hour. We advise all civilians to report to the nearest shelter immediately before the crisis gets worse." "I don't think they'll reach us that soon and besides, I don't think it will be that bad as long as we stick together, right?" Hinata's father grinned as Hinata nervously chuckled. The thought of the virus had scared him but he didn't want to ruin his father's mood. A few days later, he had gotten sick and started raving about things and his mother followed soon after. Once he had confirmed that they would be beyond saving, he had fled with Natsu.
"Attention!" a soldier snapped as Hinata lifted his head. It had been a few days since he and Natsu had ran to Karasuno but no word had come back on Natsu's condition. He didn't want to get his hopes up too much but as her brother, he couldn't help but just pray for her wellbeing and safety.
"We have accessed the damage the virus has done on the country. Unfortunately, we have confirmed that those infected by the virus would turn into zombies within 24 hours of getting infected and if anyone is bitten by them, they would turn into one as well. Scientists are at this moment trying their best to look for a cure but until that happens, we need to slow down the attack on the civilians who are healthy and hold back the horde until the cure is ready. We ask for those of you who are able to rise up as citizens of the country and join our ranks in eliminating these creatures and restoring the honour of the country. Those of you who wish to enlist, rise up and come forward!"
Hinata's senses tingled as he thought about the proposal. The army… that was the last thing he ever thought he would join but with everything that has happened, any hopes of a normal life he ever wished he would have has been dashed. His felt himself rise up and walking towards the soldiers, the head soldier smiling and nodding in approval as Hinata looked at him in the eye. "I promise, I may be small and unable to save my sister, but I'll look for a way to fly and protect everyone else to see the sight they have yet to see." The soldier quirked an eyebrow as the blue eyed boy from the other day stepped forward as well, "I'll fight with everything I got. I played setter on my volleyball team and my dad taught me how to use guns, so I may be of use in being a sniper."
"Ah, we got quite the crop here eh?" the soldier said as the group of boys walked forward. "We'll enlist as well. We were part of the same volleyball team and know each others strengths and weaknesses." "Is it just me or you kids seemed to be all volleyball players?" the soldier mumbled as he looked around for more volunteers. When none showed up, he led the group to the truck waiting outside and all of them piled in, the truck rumbling down the road to show how decimated the landscape had been in the past week. The road was riddled with holes and the sky was filled with smoke and the thick scent of blood and death. Hinata tried not to puke as he saw soldiers carting away a mangled body, the soldier having been torn in so many places he had no idea how to make out head or tail of it.
"Since you kids will probably be on the same teams, might as well get into your introductions," the soldier said as Hinata nodded. "I'm Hinata Shouyou! I wanted to be a volleyball player but now with this happening, I guess I'm a soldier now huh?" The soldier thumped him on the back in good nature as the blue-eyed boy nodded, "I'm Kageyama Tobio. Setter." "Let's make a good team, shall we?" the dark-haired boy smiled as he put out his hand for both of them to shake. "I'm Sawamura Daichi. This is Sugawara Koushi and that guy with the long hair is Azumane Asahi." As the truck rumbled down the road, the boys thought of how fate had brought them together as though they were meant to have been a team, even though this might not have been the way they wanted to meet.
Hope you guys liked it! I plan to update every week or so, depending if I have any ideas or time to write this.
