Disclaimer: If you can recognize them from the 100 or Z Nation, I do not own them.

Warnings: Will contain adult language, adult situations, character death and possible triggers due to violence and anything else that might happen in a post-apocalyptic world.

In regards to when this takes place in both shows, for the 100 it's when they open the doors and for Z Nation it's episode five, just after the tornado when they are driving away on the fire truck.

Letting their feet touch the Earth for the first time was everything and nothing like they dreamed it would be.

It was beautiful, it was bright, it was colorful, it was endless.

It was slightly overwhelming and scary.

Breathing the fresh air was such a new experience that quite a few of them could be seen just standing still breathing in and out with their eyes wide open.

They all took a few moments to silently appreciate that they had actually made it to Earth, a place no one on the Ark truly thought they would see in their lifetime.

Most of the younger kids ran around in circles, half chasing each other for fun, half just enjoying the feeling of the ground beneath their feet. None of the older kids seemed to want to stop them or calm them down, in fact most of them watched them with smiles on their faces, some looking almost jealous of their carefree nature.

Suddenly they could hear something not far from them and it sounded like it was coming closer. Everyone stopped and looked around, trying to find out what it was. They didn't have to look for long as seconds later figures could be seen running clumsily towards them.

Clarke Griffin wasn't sure who it was, but someone tried calling out to them, maybe they tried saying hello, maybe they asked a question. She would never know as one of the figures reached them and tore into their throat with their teeth. A gurgling scream was the last sound that teenager ever made.

There was no time to shout out a warning before dozens of the figures came pouring out of the trees towards them, attacking them without any hesitation.

Being the furthest away from the ship the younger ones fell first. There wasn't even time to think about saving them, that's how fast it happened.

The monsters didn't just bite into their victims, they tore into them, ripping the bodies apart with their teeth and hands. Blood was everywhere you looked.

Someone yelled out zombies and the name spread like wildfire as everyone ran in different directions trying to escape the carnage.

Another yelled for them to come back to the ship so they could lock themselves in but by then there wasn't that many from the Ark left.

Clarke was making her way back when she felt a tug on her jacket and then a sharp pain as teeth sunk into her skin over and over again.

Wells was a few feet ahead of her and heard her scream out. He turned and with a running jump shoved the two zombies off of her, falling to the ground with them. They wasted no time in taking chunks out of the fresher meat they had within reach of their mouths, forgetting all about Clarke.

"Wells!" Clarke cried out, shocked at what he did.

"Go! Get to the ship!"

Clarke could only stand there, frozen with shock as she watched her childhood friend get torn apart. He yelled at her again to go and seeing that he gave his life for hers, that there was no saving him, she did as he commanded. She turned her back to him and the last thing he said to her was something she would never forget.

"Clarke, I don't want to die with you hating me! I'm sorry, it wasn't me. It was your mom."

It wasn't something she understood fully right then, but later when she thought back on it, she would remember and realize what he meant.

She would also think back and remember that she slowly walked away from Wells, she didn't run. And not one of the so called zombies made a move in her direction.

Bellamy Blake had gotten on the ship to Earth so that he could protect his baby sister, it was his life's main goal. When he saw those monsters running towards them he instantly knew something was wrong and dragged his sister back to the ship, despite her protests and attempts to get away.

He pushed her up a set of stairs and told her to stay put. In her attempts to get away from him she had seen what was going on so she didn't complain at all, just went to the upper level and waited for him.

Bellamy stood at the ship doors trying to process what he was seeing as fast as he could. It was a massacre, there was no other word for it. Most of the kids were falling left and right, never to get up again. Others he saw fall and get up seconds later, only to attack someone themselves.

He called out, hoping to get as many as he could back in the ship. It was too late for most of them, but he prayed to save some. Precious few ran in and just as he was about to shut the doors he looked to the right and saw the blonde girl that hadn't wanted them to open the doors at first, she was just standing there looking at the ship but not getting in. Bellamy jumped down and grabbed her, mostly carrying her inside. The moment they passed it he pulled the lever to shut the doors.

The blonde was trying to say something, but it was drawn out by a call for help from a back corner. Bellamy rushed over to see the kid that ran in with him as he was bringing in the girl had been bitten and had turned into one of the monsters. One of the older boys was pushing him back, being careful not to let his teeth get near him.

Bellamy didn't hesitate in pulling out his gun and shooting it in the head, making him stop instantly. Everyone that was left, a pitiful few, crowded around him as the arm that was raised with the gun slowly fell back down.

Before anyone else could say anything, a girl spoke up from behind him. He turned to see that it was the girl he brought in.

"I hope you have another bullet. He wasn't the only one bitten." With her confession, she pulled up her shirt, letting them all see the bite marks on her side.

Bellamy was quick to point his gun back at her, but someone grabbed his arm, preventing him from doing anything.

"Wait, we can't go around killing humans for no reason. Why hasn't she changed? The other one was fine when he came in here and was fully changed ready to take a bite out of us seconds later. And the ones outside turned just as fast. It's been longer than that and she is still human, she looks like she's in pain but fine."

Not a single one of them had anything to counter that, so with his gun still in hand Bellamy just stood there and watched her for a few minutes along with everyone else.

Moments later it was his sister that spoke up. "It's been like five minutes and she hasn't changed. Maybe she won't?"

There was no answer to her question, no one knew. None of them had any idea what was going on, let alone what to do.

Maybe if they had known beforehand, maybe if someone had told them of what they might be facing, maybe the slaughter might not have happened. Maybe they would have known what to do about the girl that was bitten but not turning. Maybe they wouldn't be scared out of their minds. Maybe there would be more of them left.

But they didn't know and had no idea what to do next.

It was the girl, bitten and curled up against the door hugging herself that offered a solution.

"I think someone should go get on the radio, we need to talk to the Ark."
