Disclaimer: I don't own ZOMBIEPOWDER., because if I did, it wouldve never made it to the 4th volume.

WARNING: This contains spoilers, foul language, and maybe something suggestive. I dunno. Oh, and OOC parts and character bashing, but really, I do like most of the people in the series mentioned, really.

-Stab My Heart, it's CANCELLED!!-

Gamma Akutabi was having a very violent phone conversation with Rebecca, that one female informer who's only mentioned once in the entire four volumes of ZOMBIEPOWDER., about the location of a Ring of the Dead, which Rebecca was demanding more money for her information and Gamma was getting violent to the point that censored obsenities were coming out of his mouth. Why the obsenenities were censored I don't know, since they're obviously not in Bleach, but I guess we'll get to that later, right?

All of a sudden, Gamma heard a loud slap noise against the door, like someone threw a dead weasel at it. "Must be one of Wolfina's assassins" he muttered, which Rebecca heard despite how unhearable that was and hung up, never to be heard from again... maybe. She might be at the door for all you readers know, but you don't, and she's not, because it's actually Elwood, who's screams of pain and censored obsenenities that a boy of his age should not know came from the other side of the door.

C.T. Smith, who was playing solitare quietly in the corner of the hotel room during this entire charade, somehow appeared on the other side of the room where the door was and opened it up to find an Elwood in pain as he held his foot, which felt pain like when you hit your funny bone on a chair or something and drop to the floor, unless you lack a nervous system. Then you wouldn't feel anything. Anyway, Smith just stared at Elwood before finally asking the question everyone's been wondering, "Did you bring me a copy of Bachelor Mate Elwood?"

"No, I freaking did not, 'cause that stuff is rag and they only sell that magazine in that one town anyway."

"Blast."

"Uh yeah, really out of character there."

"Don't make me shoot you; I'm trigger happy and psycho enough not to regret it." Smith did that thing where he pushes his glasses up to demonstrate his lack of regret towards his small companion. "Oh! I almost forgot, how'd you hurt your foot Elwood? Since you know, Gamma over there won't ask anytime soon." Akutabi stiffened slightly, but continued cursing at the phone anyway, even though Rebecca hung up a long time ago.

"Yes, well I heard some horrible news and I ran up five flights of stairs to tell you guys, although I could've taken the elevator, and I wanted to have a dramatic effect, so I tried to kick open the door, but that didn't work out as well as I planned." Elwood sat down on one of two the hotel beds (Elwood had to sleep on the couch, poor kid) and began to tell his tragic story of what happened earlier today before this story began, if that makes sense at all.

It starts with Elwood practicing his knife-throwing in the woods, since kids like him are TOTALLY allowed to throw sharp objects at trees without adult supervision, and he still isn't very good. He's only been practicing for a month and he's not a Mary Sue, so of course he's still going to suck. He got hungry from all this hard work and training, so he decided to get something to eat at one of the local fast-food places in this one city they're staying at. Now Elwood will narrate, because this is actually more related to the plot.

"... So I was walking down the street and I saw these two deranged fangirls chattering at high-speed in some language I could hardly understand (that could be leet or English, take your pick.) I was going to avoid them alltogether, but not only does the author feel like making me suffer, I also heard them say something about Zombie Powder. So I eavesdropped, and you know what they said?"

"That Naruto's more popular than Bleach?"

"No."

"That they were gang-raped by some idiot A-Zero level criminal who was after the Zombie Powder?"

"No, and since when were you listening Gamma?"

"Since I felt like it. Now hurry up and finish your horribly-narrated story."

Elwood glared at the criminal for a second, then decided better of it and actually finished his story. "They said that ZOMBIEPOWDER. is being discontinued so Tite Kubo can work on Bleach!!"

Everyone in the room gasped and Gamma dropped the phone he's been holding since the start of this chapter, even though he should've done that earlier. Even Emilio, who was far away having "surgery" and was still unconscious managed to utter a cry of despair. "Say it's not true Elwood!" Smith said. Gamma got up from wherever he was and threw his chainsaw/sword down and yelled "Shit! Now how the hell am I supposed to revive that one hardly-mentioned dead chick- I mean, become immortal?!"

Saying this mad Gamma recieve very confused looks from his comrades, then Smith muttered something about Gamma not being censored, which had to mean it really was the Apocolypse.

All of a sudden, Wolfgangina Lalla Getto showed up out of nowhere on the sill of the window (which is impossible considering the lack of balance heavy equipment and huge boobs does to a person) and fell, since she is not a Mary Sue. But luckily for her, Wolfina landed in the hotel room, not five stories below on the busy but empty street.

"Oh guys, I came as soon as I heard the news!" she rushed up to Elwood and hugged him viciously, which resulted in whiplash for the small child. Then Wolfina let go and dropped her camera equipment and other crap she carries around with her and jumped onto the small couch in the room.

"When did you hear the news?"

"Last week" Wolfina replied with a smile, "why do you ask?" An awkward silence followed, briefly interrupted from some guy in the hotel hallway coughing up a lung from smoking. It then got quiet soon after, although this silence was less awkward since no one was really paying attention to Wolfina's last sentence anymore. I'm disappointed in them too, just so you know.

Gamma finally broke the silence of everyone staring off into space (since I haven't made him talk in a while now), and asked the group "So what are we going to do?"

Yup, I've decided to leave you lovely readers with a cliff-hanger. Honestly, I still had some ideas for this one (including sparkles, but you don't need to know about that yet), but I'm honestly too lazy and tired to write more right now. And I have a dentist appointment tomorrow, not that it's stopping me from writing. Mostly the tired working, and it's... only 10pm. Wow. I stay up SO late obviously. Uh, nevermind, I don't want the readers to know my sleep schedule, 'cause that's just weird. Err, anyway, try to stay tuned for an update, unless I rotted your brain cells to the point of no return. Then I don't know what to do. But I'll think of something... maybe
