Act 2 Chaos of the DEAD
"Ever felt that today isn't the right day? That somehow it's going to become one of those days that you want to send it all to hell. I had that feeling but it was something more I didn't realize it until it was all too late. Today everything was going to end my life changed completely and yet I never saw it coming, nobody did. The beginning of the end…."
(Time skip: the next day)
(Location: Fujimi Academy urban district Tokonosu Japan)
Akeshi stood in the passenger's seat of her brother's car the students were already entering the building ready for another day of school. She turned to her brother Kenji who drove his car into the parking lot there were plenty of spaces even with all the vehicles of the faculty and the rest of the school staff. The young Anagawa was feeling a bit down because she didn't walk with Takashi though she did told him on time she was arriving with her older brother. Yet she also enjoyed been with family and besides she was going to eventually meet Komuro since they're both in the same class along with Rei, Hisashi and Saya. It was the contrary she will always be happy been with her brother still made her wonder thinking the times he was somehow been distant towards her. It was feeling she couldn't stop shaking they were supposed to be close as family but sometimes she noticed from his behavior, that he wanted to keep his distant from her. And it hurt her that the result of this that he hates her, the teen erased the thought.
Kenji was in deep thought as he parked his car so much was running in his head. The match with Saeko taught him he was in the same level as the Busujima but he still wanted to triumph over her. Then there was the English literature test today even if his studied he had doubts he will be able to passed it. But his mainly was the girl next to him, his sister. He was ashamed very well aware that for a long time he has tried to keep his distance from the girl it has grown into custom to him. It's not that he disliked her or anything he will never hate his own blood he had his reasons for this behavior that was incorrect. The older Anagawa remained calm but his anger was fueling inside of him for what he was doing to her. This was one secret he needed to keep from her and the rest of his family nobody must know of his nature. It became a dark secret that he swore on his life to keep quiet for as long as he lives. The kendo fighter's train of thought was stopped hearing his name been called his sister was looking concerned.
"Kenji, you listening?"
"Apologies I was thinking. Today's English test has me worried."
"But you studied so no biggie" she smiled her concerned washing away.
"Yes I suppose I'm over worrying for nothing" he got off the vehicle locking his door and Akeshi did the same with her door they started walking together towards the Academic building.
"You're smart you'll do fine. If you still believe you won't do well you can always cheat" a smirk formed on her lips.
"I will not cheat I will do the test fairly the right way. I will do it with the knowledge I gained from my studying. I hope you're not cheating in your tests Akeshi" he eyed her with some suspicion.
"No way I never cheat I study like everyone else. I was just giving you the right motivation to clear your negativity, well did it worked?"
"Hm…I don't have any doubt it's like my concern vanished. Perhaps this is what I needed thank you dear sister."
"No problem someone like you should never doubt his studying abilities. You're as good as studying as you are in kendo."
"Indeed. By the way Akeshi what's in the bag?"
The teen girl looked at the bag she was holding on her right hand, she blushed while Kenji gave a soft chuckle.
"I will take a guess it's a gift for Komuro Takashi, am I correct?"
"Eeek!" she blushed again looking at the bag.
"I am correct. My little sister is very predictable."
"Shut up!" she gave him a mean comical expression.
"Though I say you're doing a good job if it's his heart you're planning in claiming-"
"Kenji shut up!" her entire face red from the embarrassment.
"I merely speak the truth."
"It's nothing like that he…He's just a friend I admit he's cute but I'm not interested in him like that" she was still blushing.
"Oh dear my sister is in deep denial. How about been more honest with yourself, in fact I wouldn't be surprise if the entire school already knows of your feelings for Komuro."
"It's nothing like that! Just shut up or I'll go ahead without you!"
"Very well you will find out on your own eventually."
"Keep talking and I will go on without you" she gave her older brother a frown.
(Scene change)
Takashi stood watching the view of the front of the school from the stairs. The teen was in thought while listening to some rock music thanks to Akeshi's I-pod. The young Anagawa was kind enough to lend him her portable mp3 player since they were good friends she didn't minded. He was impressed with the large collection the teen has he was currently circling the wheel checking the many artists available while still listening to the music. Komuro has come to like bands like Stone Sour, Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed a lot there were other bands that caught his attention like Shadows Fall and Trivium too. Still he resumed searching for more bands to like admitting because of his focus of music he has been able to move on and forget about the break up with Rei. A smiled formed on his lips thinking it was all thanks to Akeshi. Ever since he has met her she has done enough for him to be a great friend. The teen was still too preoccupied checking on the I-pod to notice the young Anagawa was standing next to him.
"Having fun?" she touched his shoulder getting his attention.
"Akeshi" he smiled pressing the pause button.
"You better not have scratched my I-pod Komuro or you might get in trouble with me" she gave a teasing smirk.
"No I haven't and besides it has the cover it won't be getting any scratches if I drop it."
"I don't want a scratch on the cover either" her smirk grew wider.
"I haven't dropped it at all" he replied nervously
"Sheesh Komuro lighten up I'm just messing with you. I know you were going to take good care of my I-pod because if you don't there will be problems between us."
"If I do somehow damage it I will buy you a new one."
"That's so sweet. Anyway what are you listening to?"
"I was listening to more Stone Sour, then I changed it to Disturbed and now listening to Avenged Sevenfold they kick ass."
"Glad to see that you have great taste in music."
"I've been listening to Metallica, Megadeth and Iron Maiden since I was little. It wouldn't be a surprise I like these bands too."
"True I'm just happy you're here listening to some good music instead of mopping and sulking."
"There's no reason to do that anymore" he gave a smile gazing at the view.
"I feel like I can move on without any regrets. I know Hisashi will take cake good care of Rei."
"Meaning you're depress free" she smiled while he laughed.
"If you want to call it that fine I'm depress free."
Akeshi gave a nod before realizing she was still holding the bag and blushed.
"Say Komuro….?"
"Hm what….?" the teen turned his attention to her.
"I have something to give you, I…I hope you accept it" her cheeks were still red.
"Something for me?" his cheeks started to heat up.
"I'd figure if you're a metal fan might as well start wearing something to represent your taste in the music" she finally took her gift from the bag showing it to the teen.
"Akeshi this is…." He stood speechless.
"Hope you like it" the young Anagawa was holding a leather bracelet with some spike decorations just like her bracelets.
"Usually it supposed to be two but I only have enough money to buy only one sorry about that."
"N-no don't apologize I can't believe you would buy me something as cool as this. You shouldn't have, I don't know what to say."
"What are you waiting for? Try it on" it was impossible for her to control her face from not turning completely red.
Takashi smiled giving a nod putting on the accessory he was happy that it fit his size.
"It's perfect I'm ready to kick some ass!"
"Rock on!" followed the Anagawa.
"Well aren't you two the lovely couple."
Both teens turned to see Saya gazing at them with uninterested look in her yellow eyes. Her comment has caused both to blushed from the embarrassment sure they were good friends but to the point that they will be a couple.
"Hold it Takagi it's nothing like that!"
"Yeah, sheesh just because we're nice to each other doesn't mean we're in a relationship" Akeshi completely denied what she was feeling still her cheeks were red.
"Whatever, I only came to make sure you weren't sulking because that will make you more pitiful than you already are" the pink haired teen crossed her arms.
"I'm not sulking I haven't been for a while" Komuro frowned annoyed because he has repeated himself again.
"He's right Saya my I-pod fixed that problem" the young Anagawa gave a sheepish grin.
"I'm heading back. Class will start in a few minutes" the Takagi left without saying another word.
"And I'm heading to archery field to practice my skills before class starts" the Anagawa started leaving.
"Akeshi!" Komuro called her giving a new smile.
"Hmm….?" She turned there was something about his smile that made it unique it was impossible not to blush.
"Thanks for the gift it rocks."
"S-sure what are friends for?" she realized she has stuttered.
"…" he stood watching her leave in thought wondering why she stuttered and more importantly what was he feeling for her.
"Is it possible I….?"
(Scene change)
Judeeru stood a few feet away from the door that leads to his class. The teen was currently enjoying an apple while he waited for first period to start. He was thinking the next prank to pull while trying not to laugh out loud remembering his last one and the peeper of the school. By now he has become from Fujimi's pervert to Fujimi's laughing stocker he didn't felt sorry Usui since he has peeped more than once. It was time someone taught him a lesson and who was better for the job than Fujimi's prankster now he was thinking who will be his next victim. One thing he considered about himself he would never play pranks on innocent school students especially the geeks. It was more fitted to pull a prank on the bullies and those who are considered" the bad kind" and it wasn't just the students. His emerald eyes hardened thinking of one person who wasn't a student, someone he despised with all of his might. His thinking about a certain teacher we're put on halt when he heard voices from two students.
"I swear I live in a crazy neighborhood" spoke a male student sounding annoyed.
"What makes you say that?" asked a female student.
"My neighbor kept telling me that he saw someone biting a person and he kept on eating that other person. I tell you he's whacked in the head he wouldn't leave me alone and kept on repeating the same thing over and over again."
"That's really bad he must be suffering from some kind of mental illness."
"Why did my parents have to move to a crazy part of town like that one?"
"Oh boy looks like someone has been playing too much Resident Evil. Zombies that's a good one" Hiromatsu chuckled taking another bite from his apple he left heading to his classroom.
(Scene change)
Akeshi kept her focus aiming an arrow to the target's bull's eye. She stood on her own at the archery field but not completely alone, Morita was present keeping his distance from the target mark. She fired the arrow hitting a perfect shot within the bull's eye she smiled it was another one. The young Anagawa turned to the other target marks and they all had the same result she grinned in satisfaction. This was the result of her becoming very good in the sport of archery since she has taken classes when she was little. Every day she practiced hard to sharpen her skills her aim improved greatly now she was among the top archers in the school. She watched as Morita came to remove the arrows from the targets returning them to the owner and before she realized she started thinking about recently. Thinking when she gave the leather bracelet to Takashi and his smile of gratitude she couldn't get it out of her head. Then she saw a hand waving back and forth before her noticing it was the teen.
"Anagawa you in there….?"
"Yeah hah-sorry about that thanks for helping me with the arrows Morita I shouldn't be wasting them. It's better to reuse them" she smiled taking the arrows from him.
"No problem I got plenty of time to spare since my first period teacher is absent today. And speaking of that, it's a bit of a creepy story why she couldn't come today."
"What happened?" asked the curious teen.
"You won't believe it but she claims she was attacked by this creepy person and he bit her arm."
"Cannibalism?" the young Anagawa blinked at the story.
"I know there aren't many stories like that even if there are people who practice eating human meat. I seriously didn't believe it when they told me, it was obviously made up by the very own students."
"And even if it was true it will be a poor excuse for a teacher to be absent. I know some teachers want to take a vacation and get away from school but this story is just plain ludicrous. Might as well say a shark bit her arm off yeah perfect excuse for not coming…."
Morita laughed at her tone waiting for some reason she looked like she was ready to fire the arrows again.
"Say Anagawa?"
"Hmm what….?"
"I've been wondering" he scratched the back of his head he failed with Saya three times might as well give it a shot with her.
"What's wrong?" she got curious at his behavior.
"After school er-um…Would you like to go with me some place to hang out?"
"Some place to hang out?" she raised an eyebrow at his statement.
"Yeah just you and me" he blushed.
"You're asking me out Morita?" she smiled.
"Um…Yeah pretty much" he sweat dropped.
"Thanks I'm flattered. But I will have to decline your nice offer."
"Yeah I'd figure you say as much. I know you like Komuro."
"Damn it does everyone in this school have to snitch at everything? I hate when Kenji is right."
"Oh well at least I tried. Anagawa is among the top hottest girls in the school."
"Get in position I'm going to fire them again."
"Sure thing!"
(Scene change)
"And then…It happened. It all started when I gazed over at the front gate…."
Takashi was still listening to Akeshi's I-pod when his attention when to the front gate of the school. There were some people which he recognized them to be the PE teachers Teshima, Takayama and Hayashi Kyoko. There was somebody at the gate looking like he wanted to enter the school he couldn't see clearly but Teshima tried to keep him out from entering. His eyes widened in horror watching the stranger has bitten the PE teacher's arm as he fell to the ground. Shortly after that attack Teshima has bitten Kyoko on her neck making her screamed in agony, eventually Takayama followed. Komuro has paused the I-pod by now looking in shock and terror at what he just witnessed. He did the only thing that came to his mind he ran heading back to his classroom and get his friends. So many thoughts were running in his head that this was probably some kind of terrorist and everyone in the school was in danger. The first people that he thought were his closest friends from his class he needed to get away and find a place to be safe.
"What the fuck was that about?"
(Scene change)
Kenji heard some noises ahead walking the hallways. It was getting louder as he arrived at the gym. He admitted he was late for first period since it took him longer than he anticipated getting the book he was searching for at the library. When he entered the gym he was shocked to see Saeko wearing her school uniform but was in attack position holding a bokken. The Busujima wasn't alone she was surrounded by school students he recognized them as they were members of the kendo club. The older Anagawa was always a very good observer noticing they teenagers looked so different their facial expressions as they didn't had any life in them. They looked like they were more dead than alive something was really wrong especially their behavior. They were charging at the kendo captain as they had intention to harm her he immediately joined her side not going to stand and let her face this ordeal alone.
"Busujima-san are you all right?"
"I am now Anagawa-san" she gave a nod relief she wasn't facing this many on her own she was already going through a lot with fighting her own team.
"We'll leave the questioning for later" the older Anagawa got ready to aid the Busujima.
Saeko dodged an attack from another lifeless student and countered hitting the side with her wooden sword. She knew Kenji needed a bokken too he will have a tough time fighting without one her blue eyes turned to a corner and spotted one. One of the members of the team was practicing and it was the perfect chance to acquire it, she called to him jumping all the way to the bokken's side. Kenji was surprised but knew what she was up to when he saw her picking up the bloodstains wooded sword. She threw it at him and he caught the weapon now both were ready and aware these students were no longer normal they had no choice but to defend themselves and attack them. They joined together and beat up every single one in a short matter of minutes due to their fast movements. After the fight he walked closer to one of the kendo students checking on his physical completely different from any normal person, something was definitely up he didn't had to take a guess.
"Are you all right?"
"Yes I'm glad you came when you did Anagawa-san."
"What is going on? Why did everyone tried to attack us?"
"I don't know. I only came here because the team likes to practice early in the morning aside from their usual practices after school. They suddenly attacked me they looked nothing normal, I had no choice but to defend myself" the Busujima stood in thought.
"It's understandable they weren't normal and neither of them attacked with their bokken. It's like they wanted to bite us" he stood in deep thought.
"What is going on? They looked like they're deceased…."
(Scene change)
Judeeru has flushed the toilet after finishing his business he washed his hands before leaving the boys bathroom. Feeling relief that he didn't hold it in for too long at least he had an excuse to leave the classroom the teacher was explaining something boring again. Whenever it was such he will try anything to leave the place and return when she was done. The teen walked the hallway gazing the front he saw the janitor of the school standing there not moving a muscle which it was strange. The times Hiromatsu has known the older man he was always hard working and he will be maintaining the school a clean place to be but here was not doing anything really perked his curiosity. Next to him stood the janitor's closet which the door was opened he got closer to him. The janitor reacted turning to him and once Judeeru saw his face he gasped in shock he looked anything but human. He was looking more dead than alive which was starting to freak him out.
"Um…Mr. Iwata you okay….?"
The janitor replied charging at him scaring the teen so much he tripped falling to the storage closet. He panicked trying to get away from the deceased looking man he opened his mouth wanting to bite his flesh. Hiromatsu desperately tried to get away from the crazy man as he gazed around the closet looking for anything that might help him deal with him. The janitor closed in on him his destination seems to be his neck before the teen grabbed the closest thing in his reach. It was a shovel and he use it to hit the man in the head when he noticed the man was still moving he hit his head again, this time a little harder than the first attack. The reality hit Judeeru looking horrified seeing the blood was coming out of his head the truth hit him hard that he has taken a life. The first time has done something so inhuman he got up leaving the closet and stood staring at the body of the fallen Iwata. He started trembling at what he did, he has committed a sin.
"I killed him…I killed someone what have I done?!"
It got worse for the teen when he noticed presence in the hallway. He turned shocked to see Rei, Hisashi and another teen he didn't recognized but they weren't quite defenseless. The Miyamoto was holding a mop stick with the end had a very sharp tip looking like a cheap imitation of a spear and the unknown teen with brown hair was holding a baseball bat. They looked like they were ready to get into a street fight while he had no idea why they were holding weapons like those. Soon they saw the dead body of the janitor with a pool of its own blood they have gasped at the sight before looking back at the horrified teen. It was too late to make a run for it they have seen him and they were now suspecting the worst from the sight alone. Rei looked more shocked than the two boys with her hazel eyes at the blood stained shovel in Judeeru's hands. It was enough to tell them what he did that he was responsible for this.
"Hiromatsu you…." Hisashi stood speechless.
"Judeeru what have you done?" Rei followed shocked.
"I…Guys I'm sorry I didn't mean it. Mr. Iwata wasn't acting like himself. He tried to bite me I had no choice but to kill him…."
"Bite you?" said Komuro remembering what happened at the front gate.
"You were only trying to defend yourself Hiromatsu it's okay you did what you could" said Igou walking to him gazing at the face of the dead janitor.
"He doesn't look human…."
"What do you mean?" the Miyamoto walked to him gazing at the body.
"He was like that before I attacked him" replied Judeeru.
"You said he tried to bite you?" Takashi went to the teen.
"This is no coincidence. This must be connected with the attack at the front gate."
"What happened at the front gate?" asked Hiromatsu alarmed.
"Some guy was trying to break in to the school the PE teachers went to check it out and he bite Mr. Tashima and then he bite Miss Kyoko after he was bitten by that guy."
"Are we under some kind of terrorist attack?" asked the shocked teen.
"Let's call the police already" said Rei.
"Right, good thing I don't follow the school's cell phone rules" Takashi handed her his phone.
The Miyamoto dialed the number for the police line and her eyes widened in shock hearing the voice message that it was busy. It was the first time this has happened before when the police line is supposed to be available twenty four seven no exception. She couldn't believe it they couldn't call for help along with sending a message to her father. The message kept repeating and it was hopeless no one was going to get her distress call.
*Please wait for an emergency operator for or call back later. The line is experiencing call volume*
"No way…."
"What's wrong?" asked Komuro.
"The line is busy…."
"That can't be. The cops are supposed to be ready every single hour of the week. They shouldn't be lying back resting doing nothing" argued Judeeru.
"Maybe they aren't" said Hisashi in thought.
They were interrupted hearing the sound of the microphone wiring.
*Attention all students and faculty…A fight has broken out on campus! Students should follow their teachers for evacuation.*
"So they finally found out" Komuro thought it was a little late to warn the entire school.
*I repeat! A fight has broken out on campus! Students should evacuate under the guidance of…* the sound of the microphone wired again as the man was interrupted from continuing his emergency message.
"Don't tell me…."
*Help! Stop! Save me!* the man screamed in agony as the communication finally broke down while in the background the sound of flesh been eaten was heard.
"Oh shit all hell's about to break lose" Hiromatsu stood in wide eyed shock.
(Scene change)
True to Judeeru's words after the message was rudely interrupted because the faculty member was probably murdered, indeed everything went to hell. The entire school building was filled with so many screams of terror and panic there was no control and the teachers weren't even paying attention to give instructions to the students of evacuating. Panic and chaos fell on the school and the only logic everyone was following is" every man for himself". They exploded from their classrooms heading to the closest exit bumping hitting people to get out of their way like they were savage animals. They didn't care if they get injured or worse it was all about escaping from the school to safety and alive. The ones who reached the stairs first tripped down obviously because of the running along with panic and feared it was impossible to climb them without ever tripping. The only though was to leave this place and return to their families, praying they don't get caught to whatever is causing these attacks.
But there was no escape for those desperate to get away from the danger. Many of the students have been caught by the source of the attacks people looking like they were undead. Before they realized there were more of those unknown being that seems to defy human logic and they have taken more of the students, getting beaten and they have become just like them. Other we're turned immediately, others took a little longer but eventually they couldn't fight it. This only make those who wanted to get away more desperate searching for the exit, others have lost their mind gazing at the horrific sight. Only a few minutes after the attack started more than half of the school population both students and teachers have become part of the legions of the undead. Those who were still sane and had a cool head to get away took shelter in either close spaces or empty classrooms. The chances remained that a very low percentage of the school population wasn't going to survive this nightmare that came out of nowhere.
(Scene change)
"This way!" said Hisashi running.
"Aren't we escaping?" asked Komuro.
"The main building will be filled with the other kids. We'll leave through the staff building instead!"
"The further we are from everyone the better chances we have in making it out of the school" Judeeru stood in thought not believing this was happening.
"Hisashi's right. Let's do what he said" replied the Miyamoto.
"I know! But I…."
"What is it?" Igou turned to him.
Takashi slowly raised the leather bracelet a certain Anagawa gave him not too long ago, his thoughts were on her.
"Sure what are friends for?"
"I…I have to find Akeshi. She's at the archery field I'm not leaving the school without her."
"Akeshi….?" Rei's eyes softened a bit.
"But the archery field is on the other side of this building. You will have to get pass through the many people and whoever is behind this attack" warned Hiromatsu.
"I know and I don't care I'm finding her. I don't know you, we can introduce each other later. You guys go on ahead to the staff building."
"All right be careful Takashi. Hiromatsu are you coming with us?" Hisashi turned to the spiky haired teen.
"Hm…Yeah sure I don't mind sticking with you guys."
"See you guys later" Komuro turned the other way leaving.
"Be careful Takashi!" shouted Rei.
"Let's go!"
The trio went ahead reaching the exit of the building they spotted someone open hallway.
"Isn't that Akisaka the modern literature teacher?" the Miyamoto recognized the man.
"Of course he's just like Mr. Iwata. I can't believe I'm saying this but they looked like…Zombies" Judeeru kept holding the shovel just in case he will have to use it again.
"Be careful…He looks like-"
The undead Akisaka charged at the girl opening his mouth to have a bite at her. The Miyamoto started swinging her sharp mop stick defensively.
"Get away from me!"
"Use it Rei!" shouted Igou.
"Don't hold back! Attack him with it!"
The zombie Akisaka was holding her stick over powering the Miyamoto with its impressive strength. She glared at him pushing the undead away she charged at him without holding back her sojutsu skills.
"I'll show you! The power of the lancing team!" she performed a quick attack hitting his head then followed with stabbing its chest right on his heart.
"You did it!" said Hisashi.
"Rei that's not enough!" said Judeeru getting her attention.
"Aim for the head he's a zombie! The head is their only weakness!"
It was too late the Akisaka undead went down with the cheap spear pierced on his chest and tried to attack the Miyamoto making her fell to the ground. Hiromatsu charged at him and swung the shovel with all of his strength. The loud bang heard send the undead flying his head was crushed and eventually releasing a lot of blood. The teen wasn't going to risk it as he walked over to the body and hit his head a second time just in case, he needed to make sure it was dead for good literally. He offered his hand to the fallen Rei smiling at her while she stood there with a blush on her cheeks. The way he has saved her was similar to how a knight in shining armor saves his lady princess. It felt like time has completely stopped and the moment felt eternal because it was truly heroic how he saved her and how he knew how to defeat the undead.
"You okay Rei?"
"Y-yes I'm okay thanks" she took his hand as the teen helped her up.
"How did you know their weakness is their head?" asked Hisashi.
"All the knowledge I gained from zombies. Thanks to playing the Resident Evil series" Hiromatsu gave a sheepish grin.
"Resident Evil?" sweat dropped the Miyamoto.
"Boys and your video games" she gave a sigh.
"And what's wrong with that? I think we have a right to like video games just like you girls have a right to like Twilight or Justin Bieber-"
"I don't like Twilight and I certainly don't like that sissy boy!" snapped the teen girl.
"Whoa! O-okay if you say so" Judeeru took a step back afraid at her sudden outburst.
"Rei hates Justin Beiber" Igou whispered to the teen.
"Could have told me a little sooner" he sweat dropped.
"Say it again. Say I like Justin Bieber" she gave such a threatening look it will make anyone pee their pants.
"Justin who?" he turned pale.
She giggled while going back to normal.
"I guess I scared you a little, sorry."
"Is she bipolar?" Hiromatsu sweat dropped.
Then the teen gasped when he spotted another undead another teacher closing on Igou from behind. The black belt teen hasn't noticed it yet and it looked like it was going to be too late.
"Hisashi behind you!"
"Hm….?" He turned behind only to gasped.
He couldn't react in time as the zombie grabbed him and bit the right side of his neck earning a painful cry from the teen.
"Hisashi!" cried the Miyamoto.
Judeeru has hit the zombie with his shovel right on his head and hit it again even when it was down. He turned to the now wounded Hisashi with fear in his emerald eyes. According to the biohazard game he played one bite from an undead will infect anyone turning it into an undead. If you get bite by them you will become like them there was no turning back once someone has been bitten. The truth sink in Igou has been infected and his clock was ticking it won't be long before becomes one of them. He felt sorry for Hisashi but he felt worst for Rei he didn't wanted to tell her that her boyfriend will become a zombie and that eventually one of them will have to kill him before he turns into one. The Miyamoto was checking on his wound and her reaction only made Hiromatsu feel worse he was having an internal battle with his conscious if he should tell her the truth.
"Hisashi are you okay?" asked the worried teen.
"It's just a little bite, don't worry" he checked on the wound on his neck.
"Maybe we should take you to Marikawa sensei's office."
"The nurse's office is back at the building we just left. It will take us a while to reach it" said Judeeru.
"Besides with what's going on I bet nurse Marikawa has left panicking like everyone else."
"But-"
"Rei it's okay, I'll be all right let's keep going. We'll go to the roof we can hide until any help comes. There's an observatory there."
"Sounds like a plan."
As they walked further they finally gazed a view showing the city. Their eyes widened the sight was destructive thinking this crisis was only happening in their school, they couldn't be any more wrong. It was happening in the entire city of Tokonosu. They knew it was nothing good compared to the death toll that was still unaccounted for when it comes to the school population. Judeeru saw everything with so much shocked as he felt they were all living in the world of the biohazard game he considers his favorite shooter and puzzle solving game. It felt so unreal like this was all a dream that it was necessary to wake up but they couldn't, but the teen got over it and knew this was happening for real. They were experiencing a possible outbreak with the undead and following the game's methods their only option right now is stay alive and survive.
"What is this?" asked Rei shocked.
"A zombie apocalypse" Hiromatsu stood trying to look calm but he was failing.
"I don't get it everything was fine just a little while ago."
They heard the heavy sound in the air when they gazed at their direction they saw three choppers that looked like they were from the American military.
"Those are Blackhawks, are they Americans?" said Judeeru.
"No I think those are the self-defense forces" replied Hisashi.
"I don't think their base is around here."
"Over here save us!" the Miyamoto waved to the air crafts.
"It's pointless" said Igou.
"Why would they fly here without a base nearby? I think they're on a special mission. They don't have the time to save us."
"In other words to them, we're the less of their worries" said Hiromatsu with a sarcastic chuckle.
"That's how it is. They won't do anything about us, which means we're on our own. It's just as bad down there, even with more to run" he pointed below to the streets filled with undead.
"We're pretty screw…." His emerald eyes went to the infected wound on Rei's boyfriend.
"His time is running out. I have to tell Rei but will I be able to…."
(Scene change)
Akeshi and Morita stood in their places after hearing the message. Both teens looked shocked with fear written in their faces they were under attack but by whom that wasn't all that had them really worried. Minutes later after the communication was cut off they heard the loud screams in horror coming from the building next to them even when they were on archery field they heard the many screams in the distance. Now the right thing to do right now is to run for your life and leave this place before they shared the same fate as the faculty member speaking through the microphone or any of the students or teachers that were fleeing. But this situation was very delicate at least the young Anagawa could see it that way she didn't thought the same for the boy next to her. He looked like so freaked out and looked like he could run away any minute the teen girl tried to remain calm and started to think for a safer way to leave the school. She was also thinking about the well-being of her older brother and of course Takashi.
"W-what the hell is going on in there?" tremble Morita.
"You heard the message. Listen we have to be careful rushing in will surely get us killed."
"I don't want to die!" he shouted in fear.
"We won't die as long as we have a plan to evacuate. It doesn't look like the others listen to any of the teachers, so we should think clearly instead of losing panic. Now I think the first thing we should do is look for our class mates."
"Screw that! I want to get the hell out of here!"
"I say we should focus first in finding the others!" she shouted finally losing her patience with the panicked teen.
"Don't you get it!? All this shit that it happening whatever it is it's killing everyone! For all we know we could be the only ones alive-"
Akeshi cut him off with a good slap to his face she was glaring at him with so much anger. Morita gazed at her his left cheek had her hand mark printed in his skin.
"Don't you dare say that again, you hear me you little shit you have every right to be afraid and lose panic but don't start thinking negative? I'm not giving up that everyone is safe and they probably had a plan to evacuate the school. Now calm down or I'll make you!"
"I…I'm sorry Anagawa I just can't take this anymore. I want to get out of here and see my family…." He sniffed on the verge of crying.
"Hey join the club I want to leave this place and see my parents too. I'm afraid too and worried sick for my friends and brother. First before we move out from here we should find something that we can use for a weapon. I have my bow and arrows there are more of them at the storage house so I'm good. We need to find something for you, anything that might help against whoever is attacking the school."
"I...I…" the teen seemed to be finally cracking out losing his sanity.
"Morita you okay?"
"I'm sorry Anagawa I want to live!" he left running.
"Wait! We can't rush in who knows if those attackers are already here!"
As the teen run through the field he was starting to get crazy his eyes were on the door that leads to the school building. Akeshi was running after him looks like he finally cracked like an egg the state his mind was right now was pretty unstable so been careful was the last thing he was going to be. Her purple eyes widened when he opened the double door a female student looking like a complete freak that didn't resemble a human being grabbed him and bit his right arm. He screamed as the blood poured from his arm the young Anagawa placed an arrow on her bow aiming at the head at the freak that looked like a girl from their school. She shot the arrow hitting the forehead of the undead looking thing bringing it down she quickly ran to the wounded teen.
"Morita you all right!?"
"That thing bit me…it's a zombie…."
"Zombie….?" The Anagawa gazed over at the girl dead it did resemble one.
"Is that the attacker then?" she finally realized what kind of threat they were facing.
"There must be more than one to cause so much of a commotion" Morita groaned.
"Easy it's all right I'll take you to the nurse. You really need to have that arm check out."
"….."
"Morita?" she noticed he suddenly grew quiet.
"Can you hear me Morita?"
"I…Anagawa" he whispered softly like his voice has been lost.
"Morita what's wrong?! No that wound must be more serious than I thought hang on!"
Suddenly the teen girl gasped as Morita gazed at her and his face clearly said he wasn't human anymore. Her eyes widened he opened his mouth ready to bite her she pushed him as hard as she could sending him to the ground. She placed another arrow pointing at the now zombie Morita she started hesitating just like that he wasn't human anymore. As he got up he was about to lunge at her looking to bite her but she didn't gave it the chance she fired the arrow hitting his head enough to put it out of commission. Just like that Morita was gone but there was no time to mourn she knew there were more coming here. Before leaving she ran to storage house not too far from the exit of the field. She opened the door seeing the archery gear there were plenty of arrows and many quivers along with target marks. She knew that all of them weren't going to fit into her quiver so she picked up a bag and put all of the available arrows inside.
"At least I have more than enough if more of those things show up."
Once she finished packing the necessary gear she left the storage house only to find three undead heading her way they were students. The young Anagawa fired an arrow hitting a head of one of them she figured hitting their head kills them clearing out it was their weak spot. She quickly shot two more arrows hitting their targets now that she was done the Anagawa ran to the exit and hoped there weren't more of the undead waiting behind the door. The rocker girl got her answer as soon as she opened the double doors there were over six undead students. She placed another arrow getting another head shot she quickly placed another and kept on going taking one zombie after the other. One got too close to comfort and was about to have her as his lunch but his head was smashed by a baseball bat. Akeshi smiled brightly as she saw Takashi has come to her rescue she has never been so happy to see him, alive and well. Komuro smiled at her when he saw she was still all right, he grinned seeing she was killing off the undead with her archery skills.
"Komuro…."
The girl was caught off guard as the teen rushed to her and gave her a hug that made her blushed deeply. He was worried sick about her and looks like he got too worried for nothing should've figure out she was a survivor, she was one of those girls that kick ass and can keep her cool in a bad situation like this one. He broke the hug smiling at her he wasn't going to doubt her abilities anymore and instead put his trust in her he was so happy she was fine. While he smiled at her the young Anagawa was trying to control her heart from beating too fast it was ready to burst out from her chest. It's not every day she gets to have such amazing hug by the boy she" secretly" held strong feelings. And all it took for it to happen is a zombie outbreak very extreme and unnecessary for now she enjoyed the moment. Komuro broke the hug still smiling at her before he noticed he was holding her hands and briefly let go of them preventing himself from blushing.
"You okay?"
"I'm killing zombies with my arrows, I'm feeling peachy" she gave a laugh.
"That sounds like you. Come on we better go find Hisashi and Rei. We have a plan to head to the staff building."
"Listen Komuro I…." she got serious taking the courage to tell him about the fate of one of his friends.
"What?"
"I'm sorry…Morita I couldn't save him he got bitten by those things. I had no choice but to-"
"It's okay you did what you could" though it pained Takashi to hear the death of one of his close friends he knew better than to bring guilt to the Anagawa's conscious blaming her for his death wasn't going to be beneficial for either of them.
"I hope we can find Kenji, the school is already filled with these things" she thought of the safety of her older brother.
"We'll find your brother as we head to the staff building."
"Lead the way!" she placed an arrow on her bow ready to fire it at any incoming undead.
(Scene change)
Saeko and Kenji stood in the middle hall of the class building holding their bokken. They have currently taken out so many of the undead they probably lost count by now. But there were more waiting for them they had the knowledge already that getting bitten by them will eventually turn anyone into" them". A female zombie student lunged at the older Anagawa and responded striking it down with his wooden sword the Busujima did the same with the ones charging at her. Once it was cleared they took the left path were more of" them" were roaming the hallway. It pretty looked much that there was no end in sight and it was an endless battle with dozens of undead hordes. They were aware that outside of the school it must be looking worse. As both kendo fighters ran through the halls Kenji was in deep thought worried sick about the safety of his younger sister. His expression and behavior wasn't ignore by the purple haired teen next to him.
"Is something the matter Anagawa-san?"
"N-no it's nothing apologies Busujima-san. I mustn't lower my guard like that when we're facing so many opponents."
"You seem to have a lot on your mind."
"I'm just concern whether we'll manage to escape the school with our lives."
"There's also the safety of your sister."
"Indeed I am quite concern-"Kenji stopped himself turning to the Busujima.
"And may I ask how do you know about my sister Busujima-san I do not remember telling you about her?"
"You just told me" she smiled at him.
"…"he sweat dropped that she tricked him before giving a chuckle.
"Quite clever as expected from the captain of the kendo club."
"It has nothing to do with kendo. Your expression says a lot your eyes show a lot of that concern. I think the only way for someone to show that kind of concern will be for a family member."
"Though I shouldn't be feeling that concern for her she's very skilled in archery. I wouldn't be surprise if she's throwing arrows at these things."
"That is not true. One should feel such concern for a close person especially a family member. You have every right to feel that way because it shows how much you care for your sister there is nothing wrong with caring very much for her, is it?"
"I suppose you're correct. Am I that predictable as I'm an open book that can be easily read?"
"For me you are that easy to read. I guess your heart is an open book" she smiled.
"Fair enough so, where are we heading?"
"We'll start searching for any survivors first that also includes your sister. If we keep heading in this direction we will arrive at the nurse's office."
"Do you think nurse Marikawa made it out safely?"
"It's hard to tell. With all of the students and teachers that got bitten still, it wouldn't hurt to check."
"Except that we will encounter more of these undead creatures it won't be an easy journey."
"I got your back if you got mine" the Busujima turned to him gazing at the older Anagawa with a lot of respect and something more.
"Yes, we have a better chance going together. I'm not leaving the school without my sister."
"Here comes more of" them"" Saeko prepared her bokken ready to fight again.
"Telling them to move aside is a waste of time" Kenji followed ready to bring the onslaught on the undead.

(Music: A death worth dying by Shadows Fall)
Hisashi, Judeeru and Rei have made it to the roof of the school and were currently running to avoid the undead from reaching them. The plan was simple Hisashi suggested to climb the stair of the observatory and hide there until helps come and to also block off the stairs to prevent the zombies from entering. Making a barricade was a clever idea from the black belt teen while Hiromatsu was in thought remembering what was going to become of Igou. It won't be long before he turns into an undead and therefore he should handle him before forming the barricade. Or maybe let him outside so he doesn't hurt them he cursed mentally the only solution to the problem was to end his life now before he transforms. Hisashi kicked another zombie climbing the stairs while Hiromatsu was right behind Rei a zombified male student was near them charging at the Miyamoto with her sharp mop stick stabbing its chest.
"Rei I told you to aim at the head!" said Judeeru.
The undead retaliated sending her to the wall dropping her stick she was now defenseless and open for an attack.
"Rei!" Hisashi winced the wound he got was starting to have an effect on him.
The zombie didn't get the chance to get near the Miyamoto as its head was crushed by Hiromatsu's shovel he followed attacking any nearby undead. Once it was cleared he took the girl's hand helping her back up while she was staring at him in awe. This was the second time he has saved her life and even if she didn't knew that much of him only that he was Fujimi's prankster and something else she hasn't brought up about him that she decided to keep a secret. He signaled her to go with Hisashi and look after since he was wounded. The teen shook his head gazing at the distance of the roof there were still so many undead it all happened so fast that dozens of students and teachers got bitten and transformed. His thought went to Kohta he hoped the chubby teen was all right and he hasn't been bitten so many lives have been taken already. He joined Hisashi and Rei at the outside of the observatory keeping an eye for zombies that don't climb the stair before blocking the entrance.
"Why? Why is this happening?" said the Miyamoto.
"That's a pretty good question" Judeeru rested the shovel on the nearest railing.
"I really hope Umbrella Corporation doesn't exist and it's not responsible for this outbreak. It's like Resident Evil coming back to life in the real world…."
"There might be a reason for this. If we figure it out. We should be able to stop this" replied Igou giving a sigh.
"Search around for something like a lighter or a match. We need a light source before it's too late. At night, we won't be able to see…."
"He's planning to spend the night here" Hiromatsu was really taken back.
They had the best luck to realize the door to the observatory was unlocked. They took some tables and chairs from the room and placed them all at the entrance of the stairs. By now more undead have climbed up and they were currently banging on the barricade the teens have formed with the furniture it was strong enough to keep them from advancing further. Judeeru was starting to grow worried first Hisashi's clock was still ticking of him becoming a zombie and second staying here was safe but they couldn't stay here forever. Like Igou said the Special Forces or anyone from the government isn't going to bother saving them because they're only going to focus on their missions saving civilians was probably out of the question. He wanted to leave this place and find the others like Kohta and that guy that went after some girl he was still adjusting trying to believe this was really happening. But for now been here was the right thing to do keeping in mind about the condition of the black belt teen.
Hisashi has suddenly started coughing blood like he was sick.
"Hisashi! What's wrong?" Rei went to him alarmed.
"It's happening…." Judeeru knew his time was running out.
"Judeeru! Hisashi is…."
"I'm sorry Rei…." replied the prankster teen in sorrowful tone.
"What…?" the Miyamoto turned to her boyfriend only to see his expression was starting to resemble those who are the undead.
She gasped trying to believe everything was going to be all right and that he was going to get better.
"Why….? Why….? He was only bitten once. How did he end up like this?"
"And that's all it takes. Once you get bitten by a zombie there's no turning back, it's all over…."
"Would you please cut the Resident Evil bullshit already I don't want to hear it!?"
"It's the truth Rei. Once you get bitten by a zombie you will get infected and become one. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this" Hiromatsu lowered his gaze.
"I'm afraid he's right Rei" Hisashi gazed over at the girl before turning to the male behind her.
"Hisashi…." The Miyamoto was in tears.
"Hiromatsu, can you help me?"
"….." the teen's gazed went up staring at Hisashi in his last moments.
"What is it?" though it wasn't necessary to ask he already had an idea what he was going to tell him.
"If I fall down over there, I'll probably break my neck wide open…." He pointed to the end of the railing.
"What….?" The sojutsu club member was in shock.
"What are you-"
"I don't want to turn into one of them!" he shouted before coughing more blood.
"Hisashi! Hisashi!"
"I understand" whispered the prankster slowly grabbing the shovel resting on the railing.
"No…No!" she shouted in despair watching him coughed more blood.
"Rei move out of the way" he was calm while gathering the courage to go through with this.
"No don't Judeeru he's going to be all right!"
"I'm sorry for placing this burden on your shoulders Hiromatsu. I know it would've been a lot worse if it was Takashi the one taking your place."
"Then it's a good thing he isn't here is there?" he gave a sad smile his hand trembling holding the shovel.
"Please Judeeru don't do it…." More tears were falling feeling so heartbroken.
"If I'm going to die…I want to be myself" he coughed more blood and he was now on the ground agonizing in pain.
"Move out of the way Rei."
"No I'm not letting you! He's going to be okay!" the Miyamoto placed herself in front of her boyfriend.
"Can't you see he's suffering?! He's going to become a zombie and has asked me to end his life before he becomes one. He…He wants to die as a human being not as a freak!" his anger rose the girl was only making things worse as they already are.
"I…I…."
"Do you want him to be in pain as he is now? Please move out of the way so I can fulfill his last wish."
"…" she started sobbing while it broke Judeeru's heart to see her this way.
"No Hisashi you can't die!"
Hiromatsu's eyes widened when Hisashi's body rose only this time he was now a fully undead. He quickly grabbed Rei pushing her away the Miyamoto was now staring at what was left of her boyfriend. Nothing but an empty shell of his former self now an infected zombie it broke her heart that all of this was happening. Judeeru's tightened his hold on the shovel feeling with guilt about failing the black belt teen.
"Please forgive me Hisashi for not killing you when you were still yourself."
"Judeeru don't!"
"We will survive this for your sake and everyone else that has been sacrificed!"
"No!" Rei shouted at the top of her lungs.
Hiromatsu hit the undead teen in the head as hard as he could. His cranium was smashed open releasing so much blood, and the powerful blow was enough to kill the zombie. His body fell limp on the ground while the prankster stood in deep thought holding the bloodied shovel. The Miyamoto stood shocked staring at the body of what was once her boyfriend more tears have escaped watching him turning into one of "them" and then getting killed by Judeeru. She watched him walked over the railing passing his body and she was feeling like she wanted to scream so loud that she will pass out. Eventually all of her sorrow was now turning into anger her hazel eyes glared at the person who took him away. She focused all of her hatred in the teen before her.
(Music end)
"Why? Why Judeeru?"
"He would have bite you if I hadn't stop him and besides. He asked me to finish him but I failed for not doing in it in time before he changed…."
"I didn't want you to save me! I didn't want to see Hisashi like this! I'd rather have him bite me than to live like this!" she glared at him.
"I wasn't going to let him bite you! Rei I'm sorry for what I did-"
SLAP!
Hiromatsu felt the sharp and painful slap on his left cheek leaving the Miyamoto's hand mark printed on his skin. It hurt him so much not the physical pain but emotional he knew how much Hisashi meant for her and he was the one that took him from her. It also hurt him that he was the cause of this pain and it was his fault turning back to her there was so much anger in her eyes. She hated him period his heart was shattered and he couldn't blame her boyfriend was bitten and turned zombie and he had to be the one to fulfill his last wish while his girlfriend was against the idea she wanted to be bitten and probably die by his side. The way she glared at him felt like his body was getting hit by a thousand ice needles crushing his spirit, his heart and soul. The hurtful teen touched his cheek still feeling the harsh sting yes he deserves it she should slap him again for causing her this pain.
"Murderer" her tone was filled with so much venom.
"I know…." He gave a sight walking out with the shovel in hand he walked over to the barricade.
"Where are you going?" she was surprised why she sounded worried when she's supposed to hate him with every fiber of her being.
"There's too many of" them" in this area. I'm going to kill them all."
"You can't go on your own…You won't be able to take them all alone" again she was surprised why she was showing so much concern for him.
"You're probably right heh heh…I might fail and get bitten but that will be all right. If I get transform into a zombie you can kill me and get even for what I did to Hisashi. You can have your revenge…."
"Revenge…." Her eyes widened realizing her mistake.
"Judeeru wait!" she ran to him holding his hand stopping the prankster.
"Don't do it! Don't go!"
"Wouldn't it be better if I just get turn-"
"Don't be stupid! I…I don't want that to happen to you…."
"What?" he looked at her shocked.
"I don't want you dying. I'll help you fight" them"."
"Rei I…I thought you hated me…."
The Miyamoto shook her head knowing she was completely wrong for slapping him and calling him a murderer.
"We have a better chance if we stick together. Neither of us will be able to survive on our own."
"You're right" Hiromatsu smiled happily with so much relief that she didn't hate him after all.
"But are you sure we should face" them" head on? It's really reckless and it increases the chances of getting bitten by" them"."
"That's true, but what else can we do?" the prankster stood in thought before his eyes were on the open door of the observatory.
"Hold that thought."
"Hmm….?" Rei watched him getting down from the barricade entering the observatory.
Judeeru came out with a big smile.
"Looks like we won't have to face" them" head on after all…."
"What do you mean?" the Miyamoto entered only to find out what he was talking about.
"This is exactly what we need to take care of" them"" Hiromatsu grinned staring at the water hose hanging from a wall to use in case of emergencies.
"Well this is an emergency so we should use it" she smiled.
"A zombie emergency that is" he gave a sheepish grin.

(Location: nurse's office)
Marikawa Shizuka was currently having a big dilemma. The twenty seven year old busty blond was checking the different medicines in her cabinet trying to solve the current condition that has been affecting the school population. Getting bitten by people looking like they were dead and minutes later those who were bitten will become the same. As a specialist in the nurse field she had no idea what could be causing this strange phenomenon that is causing people to become like this. While in the corner of her office a male student has just killed one of his classmates because he has turned into an undead he has taken the job to protect the nurse from the threat. The busty bachelorette has already tried calling the police and fire fighters and they haven't answered her calls meaning the situation was pretty bad. At this rate she will have to evacuate the school while her ditzy personality was preventing from coming up with a permanent decision.
"It's like we're all in a freak movie."
"This isn't the time to worry about others! We gotta get out of here Miss Shizuka!" said the male student.
"Give me a few seconds. I need to take everything I can."
"Just hurry, please!"
A loud crash alarmed both as a group of undead male students destroyed the windows ready to charge at them.
"Miss Shizuka!" he stood in front of her to protect the blond.
One of them charged biting the teen as the busty nurse took a step back scared.
"M-Miss! Hurry!" he rushed her to leave the place.
"Hurry up and run!" he tried to struggle while the zombie was still biting him.
"What was your name again?" that was all that came to her mind.
"What?" he blinked trying to push the horde of undead wanting to ram him?
He fell down losing conscious as the zombie got closer to the blond Shizuka felt like her life has come to an end. She was starting to feel regret for not finishing her studies to become a full fledge doctor. She trembled in fear knowing what will happen to her if she gets bitten, just when there were so many things she wanted to do before her life ends. She wanted to become a doctor and dedicate her life to save lives, she wanted to find the right man or as they call it" the one" get married and even maybe some children. She felt like crying but no tears would want to come out her life has pretty much reach a short end with all her goals she wanted to fulfill. Worst of all she won't be able to say farewell to her closest friend who was probably doing her job on a mission or something like that.
"W-wait!" she stood on the wall near a window.
The zombie that was about to bite was killed by a powerful strike courtesy of Saeko. Kenji joined in taking down the other two. Lastly both kendo fighters took down the last one eliminating the threat present in the office for now. The Busujima went straight to the teen that was badly wounded and soon to become one of" them" while the older Anagawa watched knowing exactly what she was going to do. He went to the nurse's desk and picked her medic bag handing it to her.
"Are you all right Marikawa-san?"
"Y-yes…." She gave a soft nod.
"Good it will be wise if we leave this place now. I'll help you pack any medicines you think you might need with you."
"I was in the middle of doing that" both headed to the medicinal cabinet.
"I'm Busujima Saeko, the captain of the kendo team" she knelt down before the teen.
"What's your name?"
"Ishii Kazu…." He coughed some blood.
"Ishii, you did a fantastic job protecting Miss Marikawa. You hold great courage and I admire it. You know what happens when are bit, don't you? Do you want your families and friends to see you like that? Despite I've never killed anyone before."
"Please do…." he smiled looking without any regrets.
"Wait! What are you-"Shizuka was interrupted by Kenji stopping her.
"Stop, do not interfere. This is a matter that must be done it's better that she finish him off now as a human than when he becomes one of" them". Understand this is the only course of action to take."
"But it's not right! Taking someone's life…."
"Marikawa-san I know you are a physician, but Anagawa-san is right. Do not interfere, protecting a man's pride…Is a woman's duty" she raised her bokken.
With one swift move Saeko struck a powerful blow on Ishii's neck killing the teen. Shizuka stood in shock covering her mouth while remembering that she needed to finish gathering the medicine. Kenji went to the purple haired kendo captain checking up on her.
"How're you feeling?"
"I'm fine, why do you asked?"
"So far we've been killing undead creatures lacking a human conscience. But this is the first time you have taken the life of a living person, are you feeling conflicted with what you did?"
"I'm fine Anagawa-san it needed to be done. I appreciate your concern" she smiled at his caring nature.
"It's not concern. You are my rival I have to make sure you're in perfect health both mental and physical so when the time comes for us to have our tie breaker match you'll be prepared to fight me" he denied he actually felt some affection or any kind of emotion for the Busujima.
"Yes of course" she kept her smile.
The door to the office burst open revealing more zombies as Kenji got next to the Busujima both readied their wooden swords on more time ready to fight.
"Stand back Marikawa-san, this is going to get unpleasant" said the older Anagawa.
"Pleasant for us" Saeko muttered giving a soft grin.
"…"

(Location: Arts and crafts classroom)
Kohta and Saya have managed to escape from all the carnage that has been going. They left their class during the message of the member of the faculty. They avoided walking through the hallways since those were the areas we're it was filled with undead the most. They entered an empty classroom as they made their safe escape and while the chubby teen was the one taking the Takagi's lead he had no idea where they were going or what to do now. The pink haired teen explained to him the situation as she believes that the police, the military or the Special Forces weren't going to do a thing to help them, so they were pretty much on their own. They had no choice but to fight for their own survival without relying on any of the government security forces. They were now at the arts and crafts classroom and he still had no idea why she has brought him here. Then he thought about Judeeru hoping he was all right he was worried for his close and only friend in the school.
Saya eventually showed him the purpose for bringing here to make him build something that will help them against the zombies. She knew she didn't stand a chance against" them" that's why she made the chubby come with her. The Takagi gave him a nail gun gas powered and that was enough for Hirano to figure it out on his own from there. He was grinning while building the weapon as he ignored the loud banging coming from the locked door of the classroom. The pink haired teen got alarmed when she saw two undead banging on the door and was pressure him to hurry up and finish whatever he was making. It was too late the zombies brought down the door and were about to charge at the girl when a nail hit its head knocking it to the ground. Saya turned to see Kohta holding a modified version of the nail gun made by himself he fired more nails like they were high speed real bullets and killed the other undead. It was their chance to escape from the classroom and she didn't once they finished packing into different bags.
"At least he's useful looks like I don't regret bringing fatty with me. Or maybe there's another reason" she suddenly thought about the confession letter he gave her.
"As if this isn't the time to be thinking about that...!"
(Scene change)
Takashi and Akeshi run the hallways without any fear in their eyes. They have already faced so many numbers of the undead not of them have shown any hesitation. The zombies never stood a chance against their combination because they were too fast and also because they supported each other. Komuro hit them with the baseball bat smashed their heads letting the blood hit the floor and the walls while the young Anagawa was supporting him from a far with her arrows. She watched his back whenever they will get too close to the teen she will pierced their heads thanks to her perfect accuracy. Komuro has given a smile at the girl he has never felt so safe having her aiding him it felt like they make one hell of a team. They unstoppable and their chances of surviving are pretty big now they only needed to find the others Takashi went focused in finding Rei and Hisashi. He will find them even if he has to searched every inch of the school and kill every damn zombie that crosses his way.
"Let's go Akeshi forward!"
"Forward!" followed the rocker girl.
"Even if we were all separated we were all fighting to survive this threat that came out of nowhere. We weren't giving up because our will to live was strong and maybe because we weren't alone. Knowing we had someone to aid and watch over our backs, we knew everything was going to be all right somehow…."
Act 2: Chaos of the DEAD End
To be continued
I only added one song but I felt like adding it because I wanted to add some nice music for Hisashi's death scene instead of a dramatic angst instrumental piece. I will add artist for the next chapter artists I have in mind are Avenged Sevenfold and Killswitch Engage (though I might change my mind). Review please follow and favorite the story pretty please with cherry on top. I will see you all next time farewell.
Next time: Hell on DEAD Earth
*The song "A death worth dying" by Shadows Fall is from their latest album" Fire from the sky (2012)"*
