Chapter 1: Dead Rising
-Several school busses are driving into the Tokonosu City area; it appears that there is a field trip from the US School of Kinnick-
Matt: -looks out the window, aimlessly, watching as school boys and girls in Fujimi Academy uniforms go by- I wonder about them…
Jeff: About who?
Matt: Them -points towards the Fujimi high school kids- I wonder how their lives are.
Jeff: I don't know, probably just as "fun" as life over at our school.
Matt: Yeah, right. -looks out the window more, the bus finally stops in front of the museum- thank god the bus stopped. I was getting REALLY bored just watching nothing but the cars and people go by.
Jeff: I bet -pushes him in the shoulder- Just relax a bit from doing class work and enjoy the fact that we get to go somewhere. After all, with all of the problems in the funding, we are at least lucky that we can go somewhere every once in a while.
Matt: Good point… -looks at the entrance of the museum and enters along the rest of the class-
-As the tours for individual groups go by, Matt wanders across a few of the exhibits, looking at artifacts such as vases, ancient weapons and mannequins of famous people across the world until he sees something out of the ordinary-
Matt: what the…? -he sneaks behind one of the columns and spies on what happens-
Security Officer Takanashi: Sir? I'm sorry, but this section is off limits for-
-The security officer gets bitten by him, Matt is shocked-
Matt: what the hell!? -he sees what happens, the security officer that got bitten begins to turn into a walking corpse, a zombie- There's no way in hell that's possible! -the zombie notices him- Oh shit… -he walks back and starts to run, Jeff sees Matt running-
Jeff: Hey, what's the rush?
Matt: No time to talk, we have to hurry out of here!
Jeff: Why? There's nothing wrong here.
Matt: Trust me! I'll explain on the-
-one of the zombies get behind Jeff and bites him in the neck, he yells in pain-
Matt: holy shit… holy shit…
Jeff: gah! Help!
Matt: I'm sorry… -he punches both the zombie and Jeff in the head really hard, killing the zombie-
Jeff: What the… why the hell did you punch me!?
Matt: I have to kill you before you turn into one of them… I'm very sorry… -he punches Jeff to death until he finally gets killed- sorry…
-more screaming is heard from the other exhibits, Matt then steals a spear from one of the exhibits-
Matt: this isn't real… it can't be… -he starts to make his way to the outside of the museum, the entrance filled with zombies until a car crashes right through the entrance- that went better than expected -he exits the museum, he sees the full destruction of the outside; fires break out, cars flipped over, and a lot of zombies- oh no… Just like Willamette… -he starts to make his way through the destruction, crossing streets filled with undead and screaming citizens until he reaches Fujimi Academy, the gates closed, Takashi notices-
Takashi: who the hell is he? And why does he have blood on him?
Matt: open the gate! Open the goddamn gate! -he bangs on the gate until several teachers come towards the gate- You, over there! Please! For the love of god, open the gates!
Ms. Yukimura: Doesn't he know this is a private school?
Mr. Akiyama: I'll handle this -he pulls Matt by the color of this shirt and bangs his head against the gate-
Ms. Yukimura: Don't do anything to harsh!
Matt: please, just let me in! You have to save me!
Mr. Akiyama: who the hell are you!?
Matt: Matt, I came from the American school in Yokosuka. My friend and my class has been killed by "them"! Just let me-
-one of the zombies grab Matt and attempt to bite him-
Ms. Yukimura: oh my god!
Matt: -the zombie almost bites Matt but gets punched in the head before he could, he gets up- Now do you believe me!? Open the goddamn gate!
-the teachers open the gate, Matt enters, running inside. Just as Mr. Akiyama closes the gate, he gets bitten by the zombie, he starts screaming in pain-
Matt: oh my god… everyone, run! Stay away from him!
-all of the teachers get away from him, Matt starts to attack the infected Mr. Akiyama until he is finally dead-
Ms. Yukimura: oh my god… is he… dead?
Matt: yeah… -takes a closer look until the dead Mr. Akiyama jumps up and tries to bite Matt, several screams are heard from the teachers- get the hell off of me! -he punches the undead Mr. Akiyama and starts to run back, the teachers vacate away from the zombie-
-as soon as Matt reaches inside the school, he remembers Willamette, Colorado; after the infection and terrorist acts caused by Carlito Keyes-
Matt: god… why the hell is it all coming back to me...? The outbreak at Willamette, Carlito Keyes, even that Frank West guy…? -he looks in front of him to see two students sneaking out of class- at least I'm safe… and I can talk to some people here… hey, you two, over here -they look at Matt-
Saya: oh god. Oh look Kohta, someone that will suit your needs.
Kohta: what!?
Matt: wait, what the hell are you talking about?
Saya: Oh nothing, American.
Matt: you look like a cunt that crawled out of Fortune City or even worse, Los Perdidos. Oh god, the irony of idiots across the world.
Saya: excuse me!?
Matt: oh nothing, retard.
Kohta: Let's stop fighting, please?
Matt: Fine, whatever. This conversation with pinky here was getting annoying anyway.
Kohta: but what is an American like you doing here? You do realize that this is a private school for Fujimi students only right?
Matt: I know that, but what's going on out there is worse than you think. For now, this classroom is the only safe haven that I know of. For now, that is.
-screams are heard down the hall-
Saya: what was that!?
Matt: "They" made it here already!? Shit, this isn't good! Just like fucking Willamette alright!
Saya: What do you mean by "Just like fucking Willamette"!?
Matt: I'll explain it later. For now, let's just rush our asses out of here and barricade ourselves somewhere safe, okay!?
Kohta: That's a great idea and what happens if we get overrun?
Matt: Leave that problem to me, ok? Let's just go! -he starts to run, Saya and Kohta follow. They manage to find a room full of normal materials and equipment- In here! Quick! -he opens the door, signaling Saya and Kohta to enter the room. He then shuts it tight and locks the door after they enter-
Saya: What the hell is going on here!?
Matt: The worst has finally begun, and this time there will be no one to save us now… but ourselves -looks at both of them, grabbing the equipment on the table-
Kohta: wait what do you mean? And who are you?
Matt: Just call me Matt.
Kohta: My name is Kohta Hirano, and the pink-haired girl here is my friend, Saya Takagi.
Matt: it's great to meet someone other than people that are American. Quite an upside for me in this damned pandemic.
Saya: Pandemic? What do you mean?
Matt: it's happening… just like Willamette, the zombie outbreak… it's happening again…
Kohta: zombies? You're joking… are you…?
Matt: wish I was… unfortunately I'm not… -looks down- I knew that a worldwide outbreak was inevitable… I knew it. I had nightmares about it for the past two weeks and now it's actually happening…
Saya: wait… what about our families!? Our friends!?
Matt: I… I don't know… I need to call my mom and dad and see if they're okay… I hope Yokosuka has already started the "standard operating procedure".
Kohta: wait… standard operating procedure?
Saya: what do you mean by that?
Matt: I'm afraid that's classified… I can only dispatch such information to those that are from the base… honest.
Saya: so what are we going to do!? There's no way we can survive this outbreak unarmed!
Matt: -notices some of the equipment he can work with; a baseball bat, a box of nails, several drills, a bucket, several books, a 2x4 and a nail gun- hey Kohta, pass me those nails and that baseball bat.
Kohta: sure? -he gives the items to Matt-
Matt: -he starts to force the nails inside of the wooden baseball bat; he finds a roll of duct tape and starts to tape the handle for better grip. He then finishes- badass -he holds the bat-
Saya: wow. You have quite a creative mind
Matt: hey, I wasn't called "most creative kid of the year" at my high school for no reason. -he then grabs the drills along with the bucket. He begins to drill three holes inside of the bucket and then puts the drill tips through the holes. He then duct tapes the drills- I need wires.
Kohta: what kind of wires?
Matt: Any kind of wires
-Kohta and Saya begin to take the wires that are found throughout the ground and hand them to Matt-
Matt: that will do just fine. -he opens the battery slot of the drills and begins to put the wiring through them. After some time, he finishes building up the drill- now that's what I call innovation.
Kohta: wow… how did you do that? -he grabs the bucket and holds onto it-
Matt: I know a thing or two about making weapons. Trust me, I've went to Willamette and came back alive to know some unique things about a zombie apocalypse. Now it's your turn kid -he gets the 2x4 and hands it to Kohta along with the nail gun- I bet you can make something mad
Kohta: oh I know just what to make hehehehe -after a while, he holds a nail gun rifle-
Matt: wow… impressive bro. You really know how to impress the audience.
Saya: Hate to break it to you guys, but I am not going to stay here forever you know!
Matt: she's right. We need to get going and get out of here
Kohta: alright. Any idea on where to go?
Matt: Anywhere but here, that's for sure.
Kohta: right -he breaks open the door; Matt comes out hitting zombies in the head with the nailed baseball bat, Kohta also shooting the zombies in the head-
Matt: Nailed it!
