Yo! Been a while since I updated anything on here, and I'm sorry. I had a lot of trouble trying to make the main plot points of Rebellion Against Fate come together, and I've been completely unwilling to write anything over the last few months. Don't get me wrong, I do want to finish the story, but I still have a lot to figure out, so it's on hiatus for now. In the meantime, here's something new- A High School Of The Dead fanfic with a twist.
The twist? There aren't any zombies. Instead, this finds the HOTD crew in a very different apocalypse- one where the entire world has frozen over. The idea for this one came shortly after I heard that England would see snow as early as October (And I really hope that's not the case…), and I thought "Hoo boy, we're heading for a new Ice Age, aren't we?" At that time, I also had the HOTD anime on my mind, as I've been watching it recently, and before you knew it, both thoughts came together, and thus, High School Of The Ice Age was born. Other details on this fanfic will come in later chapters.
Just to tease you all, here's the prologue. It's very short, but I can assure you the first proper chapter will be much longer. This is pretty much a take on the opening part of episode 1 of HOTD, and the first chapter will take heavily from episode 1 as well. From chapter 2 onward though, I'll be doing my own thing with this story, though there will still be the odd element from the anime thrown in there. One more thing- This story is rated M for strong language and occasional strong bloody violence. Yes, there will be some gore in this one!
So, I hope you enjoy this all new fanfic!
Disclaimer- I do not own High School Of The Dead.
Prologue
I stayed up late the night before everything came to an end.
At the time, I had no idea that the next day, I'd be running for my life. Trying to escape from them. All the while, looking around as everything I once knew disappeared. And it was happening so fast…
"Takashi! Behind you!"
Rei's warning came just as a bigger chunk of ice crashed near my feet- making a big enough impact to knock both myself and Hisashi off our feet. We landed on the snow, which was at least a few feet deep by now. Not wanting to stick around before any ice decided to land on our heads, I got back on my feet, and helped Hisashi back on his.
"Hanging in there?" I asked, grabbing hold of Hisashi again.
"I've been better…" he replied, weakly. He was pretty badly frostbitten. We needed to get him some help as soon as possible. The school seemed so close, yet so far. The blizzard was making everything much harder to see- I wasn't even sure if we were going in the right direction. Why am I even thinking about all this right now? We need to move, and now!
"Rei, keep going!" I shouted. "We need to keep going, or we'll either freeze, or get our heads smashed!"
"R-right." said Rei, breaking into a run again. I followed suit as more ice rained from the sky. They weren't as big as the one that just floored Hisashi and myself, but they'd still easily kill anyone who got in the way. The wind started to pick up again, really badly too. And to make matters worse, the blizzard was only intensifying further. The temperature's dropping fast… So cold…
Suddenly, I heard something behind us. Really big. Like a…
"GET DOWN!" I yelled, grabbing Rei and throwing her, myself and Hisashi onto the floor- just in time to avoid the school bus which I saw on the field a little earlier, and the wind had blown straight in our direction. The bus bounced on the ground a few times, flipping over several times in the air as it did so, before landing and sliding on the ground. It quickly came to a stop when it smashed into the side of the school. We looked at the burning, overturned wreckage, and within seconds, it exploded. As Rei and Hisashi looked on, I looked around me. So many dead people… Most of them killed by the falling ice. Some may have even been killed when the bus crashed into the building. We weren't going to last much longer ourselves if we stayed still like we were right now. Just half an hour ago, everything was sunny. Hot. A typical summer day. But now… It looked like we were in the Antarctic. I couldn't believe this… What the fuck…
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?
