Chapter 2 DEAD TO RIGHTS
-Matt, Saya and Kohta make their way through the zombie hordes; Matt primarily killing the zombies using his nailed baseball bat and Kohta using his Nail Rifle-
Matt: So many zombies! Man, I think I already lost count on kills!
Saya: Forget kill count! Let's just get out of here!
Kohta: That's what we are trying to do! Just stay calm and we can go through this!
Saya: Hey don't tell me what to do! What makes you think you're the leader of this!?
Kohta: -looks back with a killing face but then goes straight to a peaceful face- pretty please?
Saya: erk! Fine.
Matt: well, that escalated pretty quickly, don't you think?
Saya: Shut up, American and keep on killing those zombies
-Matt keeps on smacking zombies in the head with his baseball bat-
Matt: okay, we're going to have to split from here
Kohta: wait, why!?
Matt: There's someone I have to look for here. If I recall correctly, one of my friends work as a school nurse over here. You two just try your best to stay alive.
Kohta: Alright. You can leave the kills to me! -chuckles-
Matt: You better save some kills for me, tubby! Otherwise, I'll give you quick training lessons on how to kill zombies in alternative ways first hand! -laughs and starts to run towards the nurses' office, both Kohta and Saya start to go separate ways from Matt. Matt enters the nurses' room and all he hears is the sound of someone getting beaten- what the hell…?
Shizuka: oh my, oh my… what is good to use here for a medicine…
Matt: umm… need any… help ma'am?
Shizuka: oh? -turns towards Matt and looks at him-
Matt: ummm… do you need any… you know… help with medicine or anything? I am somewhat trained in medicine after all.
Shizuka: that would be very helpful -smiles and bows; Matt swallows hard a bit, looking at more than just Shizuka's face- ummm… what are you looking at, sir?
Matt: n-nothing! I'm just looking at my baseball bat… you know, assessing the damage of it… see if there's any missing nails…?
Shizuka: -there's an awkward silence between both of them, Shizuka giggles- okay
-several of the zombies attempt to break into the room-
Matt: that cannot be good -he arms his nail baseball bat-
Shizuka: uh oh… -steps back and hides behind Matt, he starts to blush-
Matt: -to himself- I don't know how I'll die; from blood loss of the nurse being on my back with her… you know, or the zombies that's about to come bursting through the door -he points his baseball bat towards the door, ready to fight off the zombie's-
Shizuka: I hope you know what you're doing uhh…
Matt: Matt. Just call me Matt. And don't worry, I can handle these things without any problems at all -the zombies start banging on the door, trying to break inside of the nurses' room- Just stay behind me, I'll handle these undead flesh-addicts -the zombies start to break into the room, Matt attacking any zombie that gets near him or Shizuka- Die motherfuckers!
Shizuka: -watches in fear as the zombies begin to enter the office and as Matt kills every zombie that gets near them- oh my… I can't believe… that it's actually happening… -she holds her mouth-
Matt: It happened in Willamette… I went there and made it back alive! These fucks don't mean shit to me! -he hits one of the zombies hard in the head, causing the zombie to fall back on the other zombies-
Shizuka: -covers her mouth as she saw what Matt did to the zombie- you are really brutal… for an American… -looks at him-
Matt: Brutal? Get real, ma'am. This is the zombie apocalypse; we do what we have to in order to survive, whether it involves us doing the most peaceful of resolutions -he turns around and puts the drill bucket on the zombies head, activating the drills, drilling the zombie's head to death until the zombies' head explodes- or the most brutal of resolutions.
-a zombie is about to bite Matt when as he turns to Shizuka-
Shizuka: behind you!
-Matt turns back to see the zombie getting killed by a purple haired girl, Saeko-
Matt: holy shit, that was a close call right there… Thanks
Saeko: Don't mention it. And you are?
Shizuka: His name is Matt. He looks like a skilled fighter, so he can be a match for you -giggles-
Matt: I hope you're just joking. She looks like she can kick my ass
Shizuka: I am -winks-
Matt: Good. 'Cuz I don't want to waste a good amount of nails just to beat some sense into you -he scares Shizuka after saying this-
Saeko: don't worry. I won't attack you unless you provoke me.
Matt: then don't worry about me betraying you. I'm about the same way, ma'am. By the way, I don't know you two are. May I please ask who you two are?
Saeko: My name is Saeko Busujima. And the girl you scared is Shizuka Marikawa.
Matt: well it truly is an honor to meet both of you. -he lowers his nail bat- you look like a complete badass. I like that inside of a human being you know? Don't normally see those in a whole lot of girls back in the American schools though.
Saeko: oh? How so?
Matt: most of them are afraid of the most simple of things, whether it's an insect, a little bit of blood or hell, even when something creepy is mentioned. What a pack of wusses. You, on the other hand, sure are one hell of a girl. Then again, Japanese schools are a lot different than American schools.
Saeko: yeah -she notices his baseball bat- and where did you make that?
Matt: oh this? -shows it to them- made it here with the parts I found. Along with that bucket on the ground -points to the bloody drill bucket-
Shizuka: you must be really… I don't know… Creative just to make that…
Matt: well like I said, I have been to Willamette and back and survived that horrid hellhole. Making weapons like these and killing "them" doesn't mean shit to me. And thus, is the reason why I make such weaponry. Give me any form of materials and I'll see what I can do with it.
Saeko: so you are unique, just like I thought.
Matt: look, I wish we can sit here and continue talking, but why don't we move out and find another safe haven other than this room?
Saeko: good idea.
Matt: -notices all of the tools inside of the room- hold on, I have an idea for a weapon. Saeko, hand me the rubbing alcohol and that paper.
Saeko: why?
Matt: you'll see. I'll put my innovation to work.
-after sometime, Matt gets a lighter that has been in his pocket for some time-
Shizuka: you have a lighter in your pocket!?
Matt: shh… we don't want "them" to come and eat us alive. And yes, I had a lighter in my pocket the whole time.
Saeko: I see what you made, another kind of a Molotov?
Matt: correct -he puts the Molotov away- but let's save this when we see a crowd
Saeko: alright let's go. Shizuka, stay close to us
Shizuka: o-okay…
Matt: -picks up the drill bucket- wouldn't want this to go to waste -holds it with one hand and moves out of the room with Saeko and Shizuka-
-as they walk, Saeko pushes down any zombie they come across-
Matt: man, you definitely are a badass. You're pushing down these things as if they were nothing.
Saeko: yeah -pushes another one to a window, the zombie cracks the window with its head causing it to die-
Matt: now I know I won't mess with you. I'm afraid if I said something to piss you off; I'd be coming out of that fight with an eye patch or a broken leg or arm. -one zombie is in front of him- I'll handle this one -he grabs its neck and then puts the drill bucket on its head, drilling his head until he dies- nothing but blood. -he searches the body and finds a switchblade- man, and I thought the American schools were bad, this kid had a switchblade on him.
-all three of them hear screaming-
Matt: did you guys hear that?
Saeko: yeah. Let's hurry -she starts to sprint-
Matt: hang on tight Shizuka -grabs her hand and they both start to run towards the direction of the screaming-
Shizuka: eep! -holds on as best she can to Matt as he runs-
-they go to the direction of the screaming and they see Saya scared, drilling a zombie, keeping it away from her, Takashi and Rei also come down-
Saya: Don't just stand there! Do something! -crying, keeping the zombie away from her-
Matt: Saeko, guess we take left?
Saeko: and Takashi takes right.
Matt: right! -he begins to attack the zombies from the left side, one zombie attempts to bite him but gets his head knocked off from the hit of the baseball bat- and he's outta here! -another zombie attempts to kill Matt but gets shot in the head by Kohta-
Kohta: thought you would leave me out of this?
Matt: just shut up and keep on shooting, kid!
-Takashi and Rei finish killing their share of zombies, Takashi's baseball bat is filled with blood-
Takashi: that was a hell of a fight
Matt: boy you can say that again -he looks at him and gives him the "you did well" look- Are you okay Saya?
Saya: alright!? Don't you get friendly with me! I nearly got my ass mauled!
Matt: hey, at least… -Saeko stops him-
Saeko: let me deal with this.
Matt: I… yes ma'am -backs down, letting Saeko handle Saya-
Saeko: here… -she brings her to a mirror, Saya sees herself-
Saya: oh my… I'm dirty… I need to get my mom to clean these -she starts to cry, hugging Saeko-
Matt: -he looks down, holding his baseball bat tightly, then he looks at Takashi, Takashi seeing the sadness in Matt's eyes- Let's just find somewhere safe, somewhere to take a little breather.
Takashi: right. By the way, name's Takashi. And the girl next to me is Rei -Rei bows-
Matt: Just call me Matt -bows too, trying to be polite-
-after a while, they reach a safe point and take a break, Saya cleaning herself up-
Matt: This… this cannot be happening… it's impossible -he walks back and forth, holding his head until he remembers Willamette and the zombies he had to encounter across the small town- It's all just like when I was back at Willamette but this time, it's like there's nowhere to hide, to stay safe, to run…
Saeko: Willamette?
Takashi: What happened at Willamette?
Matt: no… it's just something I don't want to discuss… it has been stuck in my mind for a while and I can't just get it out…
Rei: Willamette… you mean the outbreak that happened in 2008?
Matt: -he looks at her, almost willing to kill her- how the hell did you know? -he walks to her, holding his nail bat-
Rei: a friend of Frank West, I think his name was, told me.
Matt: -stops walking- Frank West… that's a name I haven't heard… for 5 years… god I was only 11 when the Willamette Outbreak began…
-everyone looks at Matt, waiting if he will tell them everything about the Willamette outbreak until Matt notices what's going on in the TV-
Matt: hey, turn up the volume on the TV.
-Saeko does so and the watch what is currently happening-
Reporter: this just in, it appears that riots have broken out across the entire country. It is confirmed that over 1,000 people have been killed and the numbers are climbing. The governor has already claimed a state… -gunshots are heard- a state of emergency. It appears that the police have opened fire and… no, no get away! -screaming-
Matt: oh my god… this can't be happening -looks at the TV as it goes to static-
-later, at the same location, a steel armored person armored all over their body steps among the dead corpses-
Juggernaut: -opens a radio and talks through it- I am at the location, director. Paint a target for me -some begin to bite her but end up breaking their teeth trying to go through the steel-
Director: you are to aim for Matt Kawasaki and Chuck Greene.
Juggernaut: I thought Chuck Greene was still in the U.S.
Director: He managed to find his way to Japan. Your mission is to find and apprehend them, or kill them.
Juggernaut: yes ma'am. I'll contact you when I am set, out -hangs up, the armored person gets out an M249 SAW and begins shooting her way through the undead zombies-
