Chapter 2: Let's Go
A/N: Thanks for reading and reviewing you guys. I appreciate it. Well, here's chapter two, I hope I don't let you down.
With one swift movement, Kid dashed from the alley and unleashed a flurry of nonstop shots towards the zombies. Almost half were caught off guard and were killed immediately. The rest soon figured out what was happening and charged for Kid, arms outreached and mouths slung open wide. As they ran, a loud chorus of moans and growls filled the air.
Kid tensed for a moment, then proceeded to shoot, nabbing two right away. Hearing someone behind him, he turned, hitting another one in the shoulder, then in his head.
From the right, a female zombie limped towards him. Her calf had been shot in the beginning, but she still came quickly. She slung an arm towards Kid's neck, force strong. He ducked and flipped her by grabbing her other arm. Once she was on the ground, she earned a quick shot to the neck.
Finally, only around five were left. Kid wiped some sweat from his hands and got ready once more. Before he could shoot, Liz spoke up. "Kid, how are you doing?" she asked. "Are you alright?"
He lifted her to his face. "Yes, we're almost done here." he aimed and blasted another two to their deaths. The remaining three charged again, drool running from their lips. Kid pulled a face of disgust. "You make me sick."
Bang. Bang. Bang.
...
Kid lowered his pistols to his sides and sighed. A mass of dead monsters lay all around the ground, blood still puddling around their forms. His breath calmed soon and he pulled Liz and Patty closer to his face so he could speak to them. "Are you two holding up alright?"
Patty nodded enthusiastically, ignoring the sweat and redness all over her face. Liz sighed and wiped her forehead. "Yeah, we're fine. You're doing most of the work here."
"That's not true." he said, proceeding to walk. The best place to go in a zombie takeover was a mansion filled with high tech security systems and tons of supplies, right? "You two did well."
Patty laughed happily. "You too Kiddo!"
"Come on Kid, Patty." Liz said, tired. "Let's go home, okay?"
Maka narrowed her emerald eyes through the tree branches and began her search for souls. There were faint feelings of some dead ones far away, but none nearby. She sighed in relief and lowered her shoulders. "Alright Soul." she turned to her partner, sitting next to her on the high tree branch. "It's all clear for now. We should get moving."
Soul scratched his neck. "Yeah... but, uh... shouldn't I transform? You know, in case a pack of those guys start chasing us?"
Maka nodded, then came to a realization. "Oh, I get it." she smirked at her partner. "You're too scared to run by yourself, aren't ya?"
Soul frowned and looked at his dangling feet. "Come on Maka, not cool. This is no time for jokes."
She sighed. "I know. Come on Soul, lets go."
Maka slid from the tree branch and landed swiftly on her feet. She looked to her left and right, before looking back up to Soul and giving a thumbs up. He returned the action and lept down himself. Once he hit the ground, he flashed white and changed to his deadly scythe form. Maka grabbed hold of him and made a steady jog through the woods, clear not to make too much noise or burn too much energy.
"Man..." Soul started. "Why'd we have to come outside to train TODAY?"
Maka shook her head. "Bad luck I guess." she frowned and looked down to her weapon. "So, Soul... do you know-"
"Don't even bother asking if I have any idea what's going on with everyone." he interrupted. "I'm just as clueless as you are Maka."
She sighed and nodded. "Right."
"...Come on Maka. Let's get back to school okay? I'm sure there are survivors there, right?" Soul suggested. Maka gained a few hopes from the idea. She agreed with Soul. Of course, survivors would be at the academy. There are skilled fighters there! And not to mention Lord Death.
Maka smiled. "Yeah, that's true! Come on Soul, we're going to the DWMA!"
Tsubaki frowned at the sight outside of the peephole. Lifeless demons clawing at their door, drool and blood dripping from their mouths. Through the door, she could clearly hear their growls and shrieking.
With a shudder, she backed away from the door, rubbing her hands up and down her arms. "What's going on?" she whimpered, looking around the room. Their windows were boarded up and their door had at least ten locks installed and locked tight. No way she would let one of those monsters inside.
She turned back to the hallway. "Black*Star! What are you doing in there?!" she called.
A very unhappy blue haired assassin stomped out of the hallway, steam practically blowing out of his nose. He sat down criss cross in front of his weapon, glaring up at her. "Why are we locked up in here Tsubaki? You know I could take these goons in a second! Come on, let me out!"
Tsubaki shook her head. "No, Black*Star." she remembered what she saw on the news. The anchorman telling the story, about how monstrous, cannibal humans were walking around, eating people alive. That is, until, he was cut off by a female intern leaping at him, crunching into his neck. Then the screen warped to static, leaving Tsubaki's mouth open in horror. She clicked off the television.
"Tsubaki!" Black*Star yelled, hopping up to his feet. "I'm going out there!"
Her eyebrows furred and she took his shoulders. "Please, no! You'll die, Black*Star! Don't be so cocky at a time like this. Just stay here until help comes or the situation dies down." her voice was drenched in concern. Knowing Black*Star, he would blow off her worry, and sneak off later. But to the bottom of her heart, she begged he wouldn't. "Please."
He saw the certain look in her eyes and looked away. "...For now. But if the problem gets bigger, I'll be outta here in a second."
Tsubaki sighed. That would have to do. "Okay." she sat down in a chair. "By the way..." she peered up at her meister. "We might be here a few days. How much food did you buy when you went shopping yesterday?"
Black*Star gulped. "I... er... I forgot... to go shopping for food..."
Her eyes widened. "What?!" she covered her eyes. "Black*Star! I told you we needed food! Great, now we're going to starve to death of all things!"
He scoffed and turned away, pink in the face. "Why should I have to go shopping? I'm an almighty assassin, not a butler!"
Tsubaki frowned and shook her head. "Darn it Black*Star... now we have no choice but to leave." she looked at him. "We should leave early. We shouldn't wait until we're famished."
Black*Star flashed a grin, eyes alive again. "Heck yeah, now you're talking! Come on, I have just the place we could go."
A/N: Phew. Writing three different scenes is hard... for me anyway. A review a day keeps the zombies away~ ewe
