Sorry for not updating for so long! I've been sick and once I got better, turns out Exams are on Monday so I've been studying for those. I am really sorry! I am also sorry if anyone is offended by the use of the N-Word in this chapter.

X-X I Don't Own Naruto/The Walking Dead X-X

"Hey, You two alive in there?" The man asked through the radio. Naruto and Rick quickly got to the radio but Rick grabbed it first.

"Hello? Hello?" Rick asked quickly.

"There you are," The man said. "Had me wondering" The man sighed in relief.

"Where are you? Outside?" Rick said nervously. "Can you see us right now?"

"Yeah, I can see you. You're surrounded by walkers. That's the bad news" The man said over the radio.

"There's good news?" Rick asked.

"No," The man said after a moment of silence.

"Listen, whoever you are, I don't mind telling you we're a little concerned in here," Rick said.

"Oh man, you should see it from over here," The man said. "You'd be having a major freak-out"

"Got any advice for us?" Naruto asked, hoping the stranger would have some way for them to get out of this alive. The man was silent for a moment.

"Yeah, I'd say make a run for it," He said "That's really your only option at the moment after all" Naruto and Rick looked at each other before Rick motioned for Naruto to hand over the walkie-talkie.

"That's it? 'Make a run for it'?" Rick asked. "Do you know how stupid that is?"

"My way's not as dumb as it sounds," The man said. "You two have eyes on the outside here. There's one geek still up on the tank but the others have climbed down and joined the feeding frenzy where the horses went down. With me so far?"

"So far," Rick said.

"Okay, The street on the other side of the tank is less crowded. If you move now while they're distracted, you'll stand a chance" The man said "Got ammo?" Naruto snatched the Walkie-Talkie from him.

"A duffle-bag full of Guns and Ammo," Naruto said before looking in the Bag. "Five pistols, three Assault Rifles, three semi-autos, and four shotguns… and a shit-ton of ammo, and… a Scroll?" Naruto could practically feel the man's eyes widen through the walkie-talkie. Naruto pointed to the soldier and looked at Rick.

Rick slid over to the soldier and searched him before finding a grenade. "another pistol, One clip, 14 rounds"

"Make those rounds count, don't use the guns in the bag though, that'll make too much noise, save them for when you really need them," The man said. "Jump off the right side of the tank, keep going in that direction. There's an alley up the street, maybe 50 yards. be there" The radio went silent.

"You ready, Rick?" Naruto asked him and Rick nodded. Naruto grabbed the shovel that was on the wall of the tank and the duffle-bags before they both got out of the tank. Naruto saw a zombie right next to them and bashed its skull in with the Shovel before the jumped off.

"Only use that gun when we absolutely need to, I'll keep them off us but if they block the entrance of that alley, get them out of the way," Naruto said as they ran in the direction of the alley, smacking zombies in the head left and right. Once they reached the alley, they saw a zombie in the middle of the entrance so Rick shot it, Catching the attention of the entire horde.

Naruto saw something in the alley and was about to smack it and kill it when it yelled in surprise.

"Whoa! Not dead! Come on you two!" The man said as they ran down the alley as fast as possible, the horde right behind them. "Come on! Hurry up!" All three of them reached a ladder and quickly climbed it, effectively escaping the horde of zombies.

When they reached a place they could stand, they all stopped, out of breath.

"Nice moves kid, a good idea not using the gun unless it was a last resort," the man said to Naruto.

"I'm Naruto, that's Rick," Naruto said, holding his hand out. "Thanks"

"Glenn, you're welcome," He said before looking down and seeing the horde block the only way back down. "Oh no," Glenn looked up at the other ladder before at Rick and Naruto.

"Bright side: It'll be the fall that kills us… I'm the glass-half-full kinda guy" he said before climbing the ladder, Naruto and Rick following after him.

"Back at the Tank, Why'd you stick your neck out for us?" Rick asked as they reached a hatch that led into the building.

"Call it foolish, naive hope, That if I'm ever that far up shit creek, somebody might do the same for me," Glenn said as they climbed down the ladder. When they reached the bottom, they saw two zombies blocking the entrance when two people ran out with baseball bats who smashed their heads in.

"Let's go!" Glenn said as they ran to the door. When they got in, they were slammed against the wall by a blond girl and had guns held to their heads.

"Sons of Bitches, We ought to kill you two," She said, holding the gun closer to their heads.

"Just chill out, Andrea. Back off" One of the people who rescued them said. A black lady spoke up.

"Come on, ease up," she said.

"Ease up? You're kidding me, right?" Andrea said. "We're dead because of these assholes" The man who told her to chill out walked up to her.

"Andrea, I said back the hell off" Andrea looked like she was about to cry.

"We're dead- all of us- because of you two" Andrea said.

"I-I don't understand," Naruto said, slightly scared of the woman that was about to kill them. The man who told her to back off grabbed them and basically dragged them to the front of the building.

"Look, we came to the city to scavenge for supplies. You know what the key to scavenging is? Surviving" He said. "You know what the key to surviving is? Sneaking in and out, tiptoeing. Not shooting and making a shit-ton of noise"

"Every geek from miles around heard you shoot that bullet," A black man said.

"You just rang the dinner bell," Andrea said before one of the males spoke up.

"Get the picture now?"

"What the hell were you two doing out there anyways?" Andrea asked.

"We were trying to flag the helicopter," Naruto said, making everyone look at them in shock.

"Helicopter? Man, that's crap, There ain't no damn helicopter" The black man said, looking back at the entrance of the shop that was being attacked by zombies and had cracks all over it.

"You were chasing a hallucination, imagining things. it happens" Said the black girl. Rick looked at them for a moment before looking back at the doors.

"Well seems me and him were having the same hallucination because I saw it too," Rick said and they went quiet for a moment.

"Hey, T-dog, try that C.B. Can you contact the others?" the man other Glenn, Naruto, T-dog, and Rick said. Naruto and Rick looked at him.

"Others? The refugee center?" Rick asked. The black lady shook her head.

"Yeah, The refugee center. They've got biscuits waiting at the oven for us" She said sarcastically.

"Got no signal. Maybe the roof?" T-Dog said before they heard a loud gunshot.

"Oh no, is that Dixon?" Andrea asked as they all ran up to the roof.

"Come on you two," Glenn said and they looked at each other before sprinting after them. When they got to the roof they saw a man shooting zombies in the head.

"Hey, Dixon! Are you crazy?!" The unnamed guy yelled and Dixon just laughed.

"Hey, Y'all should be more polite to a man with a gun. Huh?" Dixon said as he jumped down from where he was shooting. "Only common sense"

T-dog quickly ran to him.

"Man, you wasting bullets we ain't even got! And you're bringing even more of them down on our ass! Man, just chill" T-dog said.

"Bad enough I got this taco-bender on my ass all day. Now I'm gonna take orders from you? I don't think so, bro. That'll be the day" Dixon said, looking at T-dog.

"'That'll be the day'? You got somethin' you wanna tell me?"

"Hey, T-dog man, Just leave it," the unnamed man said, hoping to get T-dog to back off before he started trouble.

"No!" T-dog said.

"Listen, man, It ain't worth it. Now Merle, Just relax, okay? We've got enough trouble" As he was talking, Rick and Naruto looked to Glenn who shook his head 'no'

"You want to know the day?" Merle said, getting closer to T-dog.

"Yeah!" T-Dog said.

"I'll tell you the day, Mr. 'Yo' It's the day I take orders from a Nigger!" Merle said, making T-Dog extremely pissed off to the point where he tried to hit Merle.

"MotherFu-" T-Dog started but was cut off when he was hit in the face with the Gun in Merle's hand. Naruto watched, wide-eyed as Everyone told him to stop as he was beating up T-Dog. Rick walked over but was punched in the face.

When T-Dog was on the ground, Merle pulled his gun out and held it to T-Dog's head and Andrea begged him not to shoot T-Dog. Merle spits on T-Dogs chest before rubbing it in.

"Yeah! All right! We're gonna have ourselves a little powwow, Huh? Talk about who's in charge. I vote me. Anybody else?" Everyone helped T-Dog off the ground. "Huh? Democracy time, Y'all. Show of hands, huh? All in favor?" Everyone except Rick and Naruto raised their hands.

"Now that means I'm the boss, right?" Merle said. "All right, Anybody else?"

"Yeah," Naruto said, making Merle turn around and hold his gun at him. Naruto's eyes were shadowed by his hair.

"You say something kid?" Merle said before Naruto looked his dead in the eyes. His eyes weren't the Deep Blue anymore, they were not scarlet red with slits for pupils. Naruto grabbed the gun and broke Merle's hand holding it before socking him in the face, sending him to the ground.

Rick ran over to Merle and handcuffed him to a metal rod.

"Who the hell is that kid man?!" Merle said in pain, looking at the now blue-eyed Naruto.

"Naruto Uzumaki," Rick said before grabbing Merle's gun and taking it apart. "Look here, Merle. Things are different now. There are no niggers anymore. No dumb-as-shit, inbred white trash fools either. Only dark meat and white meat. There's us and the dead"

"We survive this by pulling together, not apart" Rick continued before Merle started talking.

"Screw you man, you and that blond brat" Rick sighed.

"I can see you make a habit of missing the point," Rick said.

"Yeah? Well, screw you twice" Rick put the gun up to Merle's head.

"You oughta be polite to the man with a gun, only common sense," Rick said, pressing the gun harder against his head.

"You wouldn't, you're a cop" Merle groaned out.

"All I am anymore is a man looking for his wife and son" Rick started. "Anybody that gets in the way of that is gonna lose… I'll give you a moment to think about that" Rick patted him down before finding cocaine in his pocket.

"Got some on your nose there," Rick said, flicking his nose before walking to the edge of the building.

"What're you gonna do? Arrest me?" Merle said before Rick threw it off the building. "Hey! What're you doing? Man, that was my stuff! Hey!"

"If I get loose you better pray!" Merle shouted. "You hear me?!"

"Yeah, your voice carries," Rick said as he and Naruto walked to the edge of the building and Rick grabbed his fist in rage.

"You're not Atlanta P.D." The man said. "Where you from?"

"Up the road away" Rick said.

"Well, officer friendly from up the road away, welcome to the big city"

XXXXXXX

"How's the signal?" Naruto asked T-Dog who looked up at him in surprise before smiling slightly.

"Like Dixon's brain, weak" Naruto chuckled at him.

"Keep trying," The man said. "I'm Morales by the way," he said before looking back down at the zombies.

"Why? Not like they can do anything… not a damn thing" Andrea said before walking to a backpack.

"Got people outside the city is all. There's no refugee center. That's a pipe dream" Rick nodded at what was said before speaking up.

"Then she's right, we're on our own. It's up to us to find a way out" Rick said, looking around at everyone.

"Good luck with that. These streets ain't safe in this part of town from what I hear. Ain't that right, sugar tits?" Rick and Naruto scoffed before turning back around. "Hey, Honeybunch, what say you get me outta these cuffs, We go off somewhere and bump some uglies? Gonna die anyway"

"I'd rather," Andrea said before grabbing something from the backpack and walking away.

"Rug muncher. I figured as much" Merle said.

"The streets ain't safe… Now there's an understatement" Morales said before Naruto came up with an idea.

"What about under? The sewers?" Naruto said as everyone's eyes widened.

"Hey, Glenn, check the alley, see any manhole covers?" Glenn quickly ran to the other side of the building and checked. Not seeing anything, he ran back.

"No, Must be all out on the streets where the geeks are" The black lady spoke up.

"Maybe not. An old building like this built in the '20s- Big structures like this often had drainage tunnels in case of flooding down in sub-basements"

"How do you know that?" Glenn asked.

"It's my job- was. I worked in the city zoning office"

Everyone quickly got up followed Glenn who knew exactly where to find it, leaving Merle handcuffed on the roof along with T-Dog.

"This is it, are you sure?" Morales asked and Glenn nodded.

"I really scoped this place out last time I was here. It's the only thing in the building that goes down… But I've never gone down it" Glenn said. "Who'd want to, right?" Everyone looked at Glenn.

"Oh. Great" Glenn said before Andrea tried to calm his nerves.

"No, you won't. Not you" Glenn said.

"Why not me? Think I can't?" Andrea said, making Glenn's eyes widen.

"I Wasn't-" He stuttered for a moment before Rick put his hand on his shoulder.

"Speak your mind" Rick said and Glenn was silent for a moment before speaking up.

"Look, Until now, I always came here by myself- in and out, grab a few things- no problem. First time I bring a group- everything goes to hell… No offense" Glenn said. "If you want me to go down this gnarly hole, fine- But only if we do it my way. It's tight down there. If I run into something and have to get out quick. I don't want you all jammed up behind me, getting me killed"

"I'll take one person… Naruto" Glenn said. "You're small, fast, and strong as hell if what you did to Merle is any indication… I want you to come with me. Rick, I've seen you shoot, I'd feel better if you were at the front of the store, covering our asses. Andrea, you've got the only other gun so you should go with him. Morales, Jacqui, you stay here. Something happens, you yell down to us, get us back here in a hurry"

"Okay, everybody knows their jobs, Let's get to it" Rick said as Glenn put the flashlight in his mouth and climbed down the ladder with Naruto following after him.

"Ready, Naruto?" Glenn said and Naruto nodded. They picked a direction and started walking.

XXXXXXX

"Sorry for the gun in your and Naruto's faces," Andrea said.

"People do things when they're afraid" Rick pointed out before Andrea spoke again.

"Not that it was entirely unjustified, you did get us into this," She said, an attempt at humor. Rick and Andrea looked at the doors before back at each other.

"Next time though, Take the safety off. Won't shoot otherwise" Rick said. "That your gun?" he asked.

"It was a gift. Why?" Andrea asked, hoping he wouldn't take her gun away. Rick stretched his hand out, asking for permission to hold it for a second. She handed him the gun and he pushed something on the gun forward.

"Little red dot means its ready to fire. You make have occasion to use it" Rick said, handing the gun back to her.

"Good to know" Andrea nodded, taking the gun back from him.

XXXXXXX

"Anybody out there? Hello? Anybody read? I'm hoping to hear somebody's voice 'cause I'm getting sick and tired of hearing mine" T-Dog said into the walkie-talkie, hoping to contact those outside the city.

"Yeah, well, that makes two of us," Merle said. "Why don't you knock that crap off. You're giving me a headache boy"

"Why don't you pull your head out of your ass, maybe your headache will go away," T-Dog said. "Try some damn positivity for a change. Damn"

"I'll tell you what- you get me out of these cuffs and I'll be all 'sammy sunshine' positive for you" Merle spoke. "Hey, see that Hacksaw over there in that toolbag? Get it for me, Hmm? Make it worth your while. What do you say, man? Come on. Get me out of these things"

"So you can beat my ass again? Or call me Nigger some more?" T-Dog said angrily.

"Come on now. It wasn't personal. It's just that your kind and my kind ain't meant to mix. That's all… Doesn't mean we can't work together" Merle said. "Parley, as long as there's some kind of mutual gain involved… so… about that hacksaw-"

"I guess you want me to get that rifle over there too so you can shoot that cop and kid when they come back up here, huh?" T-Dog said

XXXXXXX

Naruto and Glenn opened a door they found after walking quite a ways and they shone their flashlight's around to see what is in the room. They heard rats squeaking almost every step they took.

"Yeah, we've got ourselves a sewer tunnel," Glenn said. "Jacqui was right"

"Can we cut through this thing?" Naruto asked, motioning to the barred entrance.

"I'm not sure, maybe if we had a blow-torch we could… but I'm not an expert on this stuff" Glenn said. They suddenly heard a noise so they shined their flashlights into the tunnel and saw a zombie eating one of the rats, scaring the shit out of the two.

XXXXXXX

Rick looked back to Andrea and saw she was looking at a necklace on one of the jewelry racks so Rick walked over to her.

"See something you like?" Rick asked her, looking at the necklace.

"Not me, but I know someone who would- My sister," Andrea said. "She's still such a kid in some ways… Unicorns, Dragons. She's into all of that stuff, but Mermaids… they rule. She loves mermaids"

"Why not take it?" Rick asked.

"There's a cop staring at me" she joked "Would it be considered looting?" She asked seriously.

"I don't think those rules apply anymore, do you?" Andrea nodded and took it off the stand before they heard glass shatter and the zombies break through the first layers of doors and everyone ran through the doors.

"Find anything down there?" Rick asked, looking at Glenn and Naruto who shook their heads no.

"Not a way out," Naruto said.

"We need to find a way out," Andrea said "And fast"

XXXXXXX

"That construction site, those trucks- they always keep keys on hand," Rick said as he handed the binoculars to Morales who looked at the construction site before looking down at the road which was full of zombies.

"You'll never make it past the walkers," Morales said, handing Rick the binoculars back.

"You got me and Naruto out of that tank," Rick said and everyone looked at Glenn.

"Yeah, but that's because they were feeding, they were distracted," Glenn said and Naruto spoke up.

"Can we distract them again?" Naruto asked Glenn and before he could speak, Merle spoke up.

"Wait, he's onto something. A diversion, like on 'Hogan's Heros'" Merle said and Jacqui spoke up.

"God. Give it a rest," She told Merle.

"They're drawn by sound, right?" Rick asked and Glenn nodded.

"Right, like dogs. They hear a sound, they come" Glenn said.

"What else?" Rick asked and Morales looked at him.

"Aside from they hear you? They see you, smell you and if they catch you, they eat you" Morales said and Rick looked up in surprise.

"They can tell us by smell?" Rick asked.

"Can't you?" Glenn asked.

"They smell dead, we don't. It's pretty distinct" Andrea said and Rick ran into the store with Naruto and everyone else following him. Naruto knew exactly what Rick was thinking and grabbed a bunch of White Shirts and gloves and tossed them to everyone.

"If bad ideas were an Olympic event, this would take the gold" Glenn said as he began to put on the gloves and white shirt.

"He's right, just stop, okay? Take some time to think this through" Morales said and Rick looked at him.

"How much time? They already got through one set of doors, that glass won't hold forever" Rick said as everyone put the gloves and white shirts on and ran outside and grabbed one of the two zombie bodies and ran back inside. Naruto and Rick put masks on and Rick grabbed a crowbar before breaking the glass to an axe.

Rick ran at the corpse with the axe and stopped before hitting him and threw it to the ground before searching the man's pockets and pulling out his wallet and looking in it.

"Wayne Dunlap… Georgia license. Born in 1979…" Rick said, handing Glenn the I.d. "He had $28 in his pocket when he died… and a picture of a pretty girl. 'With love, from Rachel'" Rick said. "He used to be like us- worrying about bills or the rent or the super bowl… If I ever find my family, I'm gonna tell them about Wayne" Rick said as he put the mask back on and grabbed the axe.

"One more thing," Glenn said. "He's an organ donor" With that last thing being said, Naruto and Rick both brought their weapon down on the corpse to get as many guts and as much blood out as possible so they could coat their clothes in it.

Everyone started gagging and Glenn almost threw up then Rick handed the axe to Morales.

"Keep chopping," Rick said and after a few more seconds of chopping, he stopped.

"Don't get any on your skin or in your eyes" Naruto said and everyone reached down to grab a chunk of bloody flesh and wiped it all over Naruto, Rick, and Glenn's clothes. Once they finished they walked outside and walked among the zombies.

Glenn, Naruto and Rick all went underneath a bus out in the middle of the street and climbed underneath it to get to the other side.

XXXXXXX

Everyone ran up the steps and slammed open the door to the roof and ran over to T-Dog.

"Hey, T-Dog, try that C.B." Morales said as he looked down at the trio from the roof with his binoculas.

"That asshole is out on the street with the handcuff keys?" Merle said, looking angry until T-Dog pulled something out of his pocket, revealing it to be the handcuff keys.

XXXXXXX

At the Camp outside of town

XXXXXXX

"Boy, that hose isn't long for this world, is it?" The old man said, tinkering with an RV.

"No sir" a man said.

"Where the hell are we gonna find a replacement?" The old man spoke.

"It's late, they should have been back by now" a blond girl said, pacing back and forth.

"Worrying won't make it better"

"Hello, Base camp!" T-Dog's voice was heard through the radio. "Can anybody out there hear me? Basecamp, this is T-Dog. Anybody hear me?"

"Hello? Hello?" The old man picked up the walkie-talkie. "Reception's bad on this end. Repeat, Repeat"

"Shane is that you?" T-Dog asked. "We're in some deep shit. We're trapped in the department store. There are geeks all over the place, hundreds of 'em. We're surrounded"

"T-Dog, repeat that last. Repeat" The old man said, turning a dial on the radio and the radio went silent.

"He said the department store," a girl said, her son standing next to her.

"I heard it too," The old man said, looking down at the group of people.

"Shane?" The girl with her son asked, looking at Shane.

"No way, we do not go after them. We do not risk the rest of the group. Y'all know that" Shane said, looking at everyone.

"So we're just going to leave here there?" The blond girl asked angrily.

"Look, Amy, I know that this is not easy-" Shane was cut off when Amy spoke.

"She volunteered to go," Amy said. "To help the rest of us"

"I know, and she knew the risks, right?" Shane said. "See, if she's trapped, she's gone. So we just have to deal with that… There's nothing we can do"

"She's my sister, you son of a bitch," Amy said as she stormed off

XXXXXXX

Rick, Naruto, and Glenn all were walking down the road full of zombies.

"It's gonna work… I can't believe it" Glenn whispered to Naruto and Rick.

"Don't draw attention to yourself" Rick whispered back sharply and after a few seconds of walking, it began to rain but Rick, Naruto, and Glenn kept walking, but much more cautiously.

"The smells washing off, isn't it?" Glenn said a bit louder than a whisper.

"No, No it's not… Well, maybe" Suddenly a zombie roared at them and Rick chopped it in the head with the axe.

"Run!" Naruto shouted and they all ran for the construction site with the zombies chasing after them, chopping them in the head only when needed and when they reached the gate, they climbed it just in time to avoid the zombies.

Everyone took off their coats and Rick shot at the zombies climbing the gate while Naruto broke open the key box and grabbed a pair of keys.

"Rick!" Naruto shouted as he tossed him the keys and they ran to the truck labeled on the key.

Once they got inside, they started the car and drove away from the City.

"Oh my god, Oh my god. They're all over that place" Glenn panted.

"You need to draw them away. Those roll-up doors at the front of the store- That area? -That's what I need to be cleared. Raise your friends. Tell them to get down there and be ready" Rick said.

"And I'm drawing the geeks away how? I-I missed that part" Glenn asked.

"Noise," Rick said and they drove in silence until they reached a car where they broke open the window and got the alarm blaring. Rick got the car to start after they had Radio'd the group to get ready for pickup and Glenn drove it to the store and sped past to catch the attention of all the zombies in front of it while Rick and Naruto drive the truck to the front of the store, now clear of zombies.

Everyone jumped into the truck after putting their bags in and they drove off.

"I dropped the damn key," T-Dog said and everyone was silent for a moment before Andrea spoke up.

"Where's Glenn?" Naruto and Rick just smiled

DONE!
Got this done in a day so Y'all should be happy I worked so hard for you!
Hope you enjoy!
Peace!
