A/N: What's up guys I am back with yet another chapter for my crossover series which by the way I really hope you enjoy, again thank you for the suggestions argafinkel, I will be bringing other one piece characters into this story but whether or not they stay is still being decided, as for pairings, again thanks for the idea, Zorobin (I hope I said that right) was an idea that has bounced around my head as one of the pairings for Zoro as is Zoro X Tashigi, I already have your opinion on this but now I'm asking the other viewers. I want you to vote, Zorobin, Zoro X Tashigi, or Zoro X Robin X Tashigi, and whatever option has the most votes by the time I upload chapter 5 will be used in the story, you can vote Via PM or leave a comment but enough about that you came here for an awesome chapter and I'm going to do my best in order to deliver so without further adue, let's go.

Btw Poll results for Zoro's pairing so far are as follows:

Zorobin: 0

Zoro X Tashigi: 0

Zoro X Robin X Tashigi: 1 (argafinkel's vote)

We start off with the group except Emerald in the faculty room watching the news with various reports in regards to the emergency measures that are being put into action before something happened and the channel's live reception cut out and it was cut back to the news desk with a warning to not head outside unless it's absolutely necessary. "Well this sucks" Usopp complained "How much longer do we have to wait here?"

"We gave Emerald 15 minutes before we leave without him, there's about 5 minutes left" Takashi answered slamming his fist on the table as the reporter finished her statements, "Is that all they had to say!?" Takashi growled.

"Isn't it obvious, they're trying not to cause a panic" Saya pointed out.

"Panic?" Nami questioned as a few heads in the room tilted in confusion.

"Yeah you idiots, panic leads to chaos, and chaos causes a disruption in order which then turns to the point where we should just hand it all over to the fucking corpses" Sapphire explains as the reporter mentions the evacuation of the American president from the white house to the air-craft carrier george washington, a transfer of power, permission for tactical warheads to be used has been granted, basically chaos has broken lose in locations throuought the world, and martial law has been declared. That was it before the TV cut out.

-Meanwhile with Emerald-

Emerald has finally reached his destination, an old brick building hidden away from the rest of the school. He slowly opened an old wooden door before he was met with one of those things jumping him resulting in a life or death brawl which carried on for about a minute before Emerald managed to reach his knife and brought it up stabbing the thing in the head and rolling the corpse off of his body.

"THAT'S RIGHT" Emerald yelled as he got up "HAIL TO THE KING BITCH" however his celebration was cut short when he turned to see five more shuffling from the building causing him to frown 'I really need to work on my timing' Emerald thought as his frown turned into a smirk as he readied his knife "oh well then... COME TO PAPA" Emerald yelled as he ran into the group killing each of them without getting hit "I can't belive I just did that" Emerald said as he entered the building.

It didn't take him long to find what he was looking for, hanging on the wall in a glass cabinet were three Katanas, each with a black sheathe and black leather hilt which included cold steel trim each of the blades were as follows, number one was made using black titanium, number 2 wasn't anything fancy, a standard katana, and number 3 was made from an extremely rare red metal "There we go" Emerald said as he put them on his belt before he noticed another glass cabinet this time with a note attatched and several needles filled with a different fluids in each, upon further investigation it was found that the note was addressed to Emerald. "Weird" was all Emerald said before he started to read the note.

'To Emerald;

Who I am does not matter, nor does the fact that I know who you are, and what you are...' Confused, Emerald continued to read. 'You're probably confused right now, not to worry though, you will get you're answers soon enough, once we meet on the battle field, if you prove that you can beat me I will answer all of you're questions, If you look to you're right there's a duffel bag, I know that as it stands now you won't be able to protect your freinds, these injections are yours for the taking, use them as you see fit, then once I see that you're strong enough, you will face me.

that is all for now.

signed, annonymus.

P.S: Oh I nearly forgot, If you wan't clues to you're past, talk to those who have awakened, namely your freinds, they should be able to help, if not, then that sucks for you'

"That was weird" Emerald said unsure of what to do. before taking one last glance at the needles. "I'll take a look at them later" Emerald decided as he loaded the unknown substances into a small compartment of his school bag "Ok, Time to tip on out of here" and with that Emerald took off.

-back with the group-

"So essentially everything went from perfectly fine, to shit in a matter of hours that about sums it up right?" Zoro questioned.

"Well, those things are everywhere so it's safe to make that assumption" Tashigi pointed out

"I can't belive this is happening" Rei said in shock.

"They're going to stop it right? they have to stop it from spreading" Chopper pointed out

"There's no way that's going to happen" Saya stated

"Hey come on..." the mechanical being known as Franky stepped in "You didn't have to be so blunt, you never know, in the end everything may turn out to be SUPER" he said striking a pose

"Open your eyes people this is a pandemic" Sapphire interjected "There's nothing we can do"

"A pandemic!?" Chopper whimpered as he curled up.

"It's an outbreak of an infectious disease" Robin said breaking her long silence "The whole world is experiencing the same thing"

"So there's nowhere to run, this is a global epidemic?" the long-nosed sniper questioned putting on a brave face despite the fact that he was shaking like a leaf.

"If you want to put this into perspective, this is exactly like the Spanish flu in 1918, over 600,000,000 people were infected and over 50,000,000 died." Nami explained as she stood up and walked towards a window "Remember how much of a panic swine-flu caused, well square that"

"Not to be disagreeable, but I belive this would be more like the black death of the fourteenth century" the blonde nurse pointed out.

"One part of the European population died you're smarter than you look" the pinkette commented.

"Well how did the outbreak finally end" Luffy asked as he suddenly clutched his stomach "Also is there any food in here?" he questioned which lead to Sanji destroying the glass panel on a vending machine.

"It's not meat but it's food take it or leave it you rubber idiot" Sanji commented as he went back to his seat.

"Rubber idiot?" Shizuka questioned snapping Hancock out of one of her dazes.

"Can we get back on track please" the pinkette asked "I'm sure they have a facinating story to tell but we don't have time for that now, as for the question he had..."

"Well there are many theories, it usually stops when too many people die" Shizuka explained "As there wouldn't be enough people to carry it"

"But now all the dead people still move and attack you" Kohta explained.

"So what you're saying is there's no reason for this outbreak to stop" Hancock questioned.

"Well the weather is really hot, they might not be able to move if their bodies decompose and become skeletons" the blonde nurse suggested.

"And how long do you think that's going to take?" the purple haired swordsman questioned which lead to both the doctors calculating.

"Actually if you don't mind me saying..." a voice started as a skeleton with an afro in a black suit questioned "Before I start you have no reason to be scared i have no bone to pick with any of you, yohohoho skeleton joke, but I happen to be a skeleton and I can still move just fine, by the way, my name is. OUCH" Brooke started before Saeko bashed his skull "This sensation it stings my skin...Oh wait, I don't have any OUCH" Saeko continued bashing the skeleton for another 30 seconds until Zoro stepped in blocking the next attack shocking everyone.

"He's with me, we'll explain the details later but right now all you need to know is that he is not the enemy, hey Brooke?" Zoro intervened.

"Thank you Zoro-san..." Brooke started before he felt another painful blow to the head.

"Please refrain from making any more of those terible jokes, they get very old very quickly" Zoro pointed out.

"Noted" the skeleton winced as he got up "You may know this already but my name is Brooke and if I may ask all the ladies...can i see your..." this time it was Nami's turn to hit the skeleton over the head.

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT QUESTION AGAIN, I BELIVE I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE WHEN I SAY NO WAY IN HELL" Nami yelled scaring the life out of the skeleton

"I'd say a few months before those things decompose with some parts possibly becoming skeletal in 20 days" Chopper concluded causing everyone to become on track once again

"You're kidding right?" Saeko questioned.

"You clearly aren't as smart as you look, medical logic doesn't apply to those walking corpses down there" Saya started explaining "Worst case scenario they may never decompose"

"First things we make sure our families are okay" Tashigi spoke up.

"Then we need to find somewhere safe to hold up for a while" Saeko continued

"Either way we're going to need a plan wherever we go" Robin pointed out.

"We're going to have to team up" the pinkette declared.

"Let's get going" Takashi stated firmly, "We've over stayed our welcome here"

"I recommend we pick up survivours wherever possible" Nami suggested.

"Let's do it" Zoro stated "Luffy it's time to... ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME" he yelled in rage at Luffy fast asleep and with an inflated stomach.

"I'll carry Luffy, you just cover me Zoro" Franky suggested as he barely struggled to pick up the sleeping giant and position him so Luffy was on Franky's back and it looked like the cyborg was carying a boulder.

"I Guess the front gate is our only way out" Rei assumed

"That would be correct as it is the only gate in the school" the pinkette commented.

"Let's go" Takashi ordered as the group then entered the hallway which had three zombies wandering around two of which were taken down quickly with the help of kohta's nail gun and Takashi bashed the skull of the final one before the group charged down the hallway.

-Meanwhile with Emerald-

We find Emerald sitting on a roof top examining his arsenal of blades and vials, it turns out that each of the vials had a unique property or effect and that was labeled on it "Ok let's see we've got vials labeled 'Diamind', 'Dark drag', 'Earth drag', 'Fire drag', 'Haki (Arm)', I think that's short for armament, 'Haki (Con)'... I don't know what that means, 'Haki (Obs)' Pretty sure that's observation, and Haki (all) I guess that one contains all 3, that one may actually be useful" Emerald started as he gave himself the injection while destroying the other 3 causing him to spasm a bit as a sign that it was initiating the final fusion with his body giving him complete control over the 3 kinds of Haki though it will require minimal training to reach the stage where you can use them at will, according to the instructions they came with. Once the spasm was over Emerald slowly got up shaking his head.

"Don't tell me that happens with every injection" Emerald said to himself as he continued looking through them, "Now let's see we've also got, 'Ice drag' seriously what does drag mean, 'Iron drag', 'Light drag', 'Lightning drag' 'Poison drag' Poison? if I use that one i'm getting it checked out first, 'Sky drag' and something called ultimate power, fine print on this one says my life expectancy will be cut in half, heh no thank you" Emerald declared as he went to shatter the vial before he stopped himself "I'll keep it, only as a last resort" Emerald decided before he put everything back in his bag and started sharpening his swords while overlooking the front car-park

-a few minutes later in a stair well close to our groups destination-

"Let me make something clear" Saeko started "There is no need to engage in a fight unless absolutely nessecary, do whatever you can to avoid a fight you got it?" she asked as the group nodded "Remember to keep quiet as they are sensitive to sound, they are also actually really strong, if they get a hold of you you're done for, they can also bust down regular doors" the kendo captain continued as a scream sounded throughout the stairwell which lead the group to another small group of survivors lead by a black haired male who was armed with a baseball bat standing in front of two girls alongside another male armed with a...what is that like a fishing net? pitch fork? if you know what that thing is called let me know you will have to watch the anime to see it though. Anyway,moving on the male that was weildingthe baseball bat was trying to keep the rest of the group behind him as he took up defensive positioning as a groupof undead shuffled towards them. One was about to attack the leader before it was gunned down by Kohta leaving him stunned. Saeko, Zoro, and Tashigi then entered the fray alongside Takashi and Rei clearing the area in seconds.

"Has anyone been bitten?" Tashigi asked once one of the girls thanked the group causing the girl to tilt her head in confusion before responding with a no before Rei spoke up.

"They look fine" Rei stated "They're going to be alright"

"We're getting outta here" Takashi announced "Does anyone want to join our group?" as one by one they agreed to join. Five minutes later the group arrived in another stair well closer to the exit only problem is the exit route is packed with them."Anyone got some ideas?" Takashi questioned.

"From what I can tell they only react to sound, they can't see us so it's pointless to hide from them" the pinkette explained.

"Care to prove that theory?" Takashi questioned.

"Still, if we're carrying on inside the school, once we're attacked we're done for" Sapphire pointed out "We have to go through the gate, there's no other options"

"Well someone needs to confirm Takagi's theory" Robin spoke up causing Takashi to release a heavy sigh.

"I'll go" he stated firmly.

"No, you stay I'll do it" Rei argued

"I should go first" Saeko suggested.

"I beleive you should remain on standby just in case"the black haired male decided

"But why Takashi?" Nami questioned.

"I seriously don't know" Takashi answered.

"Just becareful Takashi" Sanji spoke up causing Rei to glare at him.

"WHAT ARE YOU SAYIN..." she started before she was silenced by Saeko.

"I'm saying it's clear that his mind is made up, and it is crucial that we don't interfere, but instead remain on standby as requested" Sanji stated calmy as Takashi decended towards the final checkpoint tightening his grip on his bat as he stood in the middle of the undead group unnoticed until one of them walked straight past him with only millimetres to spare still not noticing the black haired male in their midst after the confirmation of the pinkettes theory Takashi picked up a shoe that was right next to himand threw itinto a set of lockers that were a few metres in the direction opposite to the exit which caused the undead group to shuffle towards the sound. the rest of the group getting the hint quietly ran down the rest of the stairs, well quietly until that tool I don't know bumped the hand rail sending a rather loud ringing sound throughout the school catching ALOT of unwanted attention.

"RUN!" Takashi yelled.

-Meanwhile on the roof-

"Hm, looks like someone woke the neighbours guess that's my cue" Emerald said as he grabbed some unique looking gloves which had metal attatchments at the finger tips to gripefall down from the roof and run towards his freinds.

-back with the rest of the group-

As soon as that word slipped from Takashi's mouth the group started bolting for the bus that they had agreed to take.

"DID YOU HAVE TO YELL, IF YOU DIDN'T WE MAY HAVE ONLY HAD TO DEAL WITH THE ONES CLOSE TO US?" the pinkette yelled in rage.

"The soundwaves would have echoed anyway" Franky explained as he shifted his grip on a still sleeping Luffy "It's better of you just keep fighting out of this mess" as Franky screeched to a halt by a wall of undead "alright then FRESH FIRE" he yelled as a stream of flames left the cyborgs mouth incinerating the blockade.

"There's too many of them" Kohta said as he was faced with a wall of undead which lead to Takashi running forward and taking outthe one closest to the group.

"Stop talking, just run" the black haired male barked as the group ran forward killing any of those things that got too close. A few minutes later the leader of the small survivor group we now know as Takuzo had managed to somehow get seperated from the group and was now doing his best not to get over powered to no avail, one of the things snuck up from behind and grabbed him causing the the only surviving girl of the group too cry.

"TAKUZO" the girl known as Naomi yelled. but just as all seemed lost with Zoro appearing to would have arrived at the scene too late if he wasn't stopped by a familiar war cry.

-a few seconds earlier with Emerald-

His freinds were now in sight but he recognised someone he knew on the verge of being over whelmed causing Emerald to change course and draw his swords "Now then, three sword style..."

-now-

"You undead creeps are in for it now" Zoro started as the final cry was made at the same time Emerald entered the scene at an almost blinding speed.

"SACRED DANCE...HEAVENLY PHEONIX" Emerald roared as a powerfull compressed air projectile was fired forwards slicing clean through the attacker just before Takuzo could become infected, the rest of those things, turned towards the new source of sound "You guy's go on ahead, I'll finish up here" Emerald ordered as Zoro lifted a shocked Takuzo over his shoulder and ran to join the others, seeing Takuzo safe caused Naomi to sigh with relief.

"Take care Emerald" Zoro said before taking off.

"HMPH, you know I'll be joining up with the group soon right?" Emerald said to no-one in particular as he stabbed one of the things that got too close through the mouth before bringing the blade up cutting it's head in half "Now three sword style..." Emerald started as he was now surrounded "DRAGON TWISTER" Emerald yelled as a tornado whipped up around him with razor sharp winds slicing through the flesh of the undead with minimal difficulty, once it died down Emerald walked off whistling a tune as blood and body parts started raining in the spot where he had once been.

-Meanwhile-

Saya was yelling at Kohta for unknown reasons while Kohta was protecting the two of them having to constantly interupt her with nail gun shots. "Are you even listening why would you interrupt me while I'm talking to you"

"I don't know because I..Really like your voice" the gun-man responded turning around to give her a smile.

"Please Kohta, escape now flirt later" Emerald teased as he jogged past the pair with his comment really getting on the pinkettes nerves, as Takashi just saved the blonde nurse and reindeer pair.

"Miss shizuka, the key" Takashi stated as the nurse unlocked the bus as one by one the group members piled on.

-With Emerald and Franky, oh and Luffy-

"Well there's no way he's going to fit on the bus as is" Emerald said gesturing to a still inflated Luffy.

"Well we can't wait for his body to digest the food" Franky pointed out before they gave each other a knowing stare and 2 mins later Luffy was tied to the roof "That should do it" the cyborg confirmed as he finished tightening the last not (Bet you thought i was joking huh).

"Alright then let's get in, the sooner we get out of here the better" Emerald suggested as he and Franky climbed aboard the bus to see Kohta at a window still making calculations.

"For crying out loud woman how hard is it to point and shoot" Franky questioned exhausted as he looked to the nurse who was trying to figure out the new transport and decided to help her get to know the parts of it Just as Takashi was about to close the door he saw a large group of survivors running towards the bus.

"Whose that?" Emerald asked startling Takashi and Saeko.

"That's Mr Shido of class 3A" Saeko responded as Rei stared in, shock I think.

"We're ready to go now" the blonde nurse announced.

"Wait just a little bit longer" Takashi called.

"But they're right in front of us, any more and we won't be able to drive through"

"Then run them down"

"If Nurse Shizuka tries to drive through that many she'll flip the bus" the pinkette pointed out causing Takashi to head for the group before being grabbed by Rei.

"We don't have to save him"

"What the hell do you mean we don't have to save him?!" Takashi responded.

"I mean we don't have to help him, WE SHOULD JUST LEAVE HIM HERE TO DIE" Rei yelled.

"EMERALD BACK ME UP HERE, YOU SAID SO YOURSELF THERE'S STRENGTH IN NUMBERS" Takashi yelled causing Emerald to sigh.

"If we must, but I'm with Rei on this one, belive me I'm all for saving as many survivors as possible but that guy is an absolute fucking asshole" Emerald groaned as jaws hit the floor at Emerald's sudden tone.

-with the other survivor group-

Mr Shido is direcing his students to the bus at the same time Emerald exited it to help them. one of the students tripped over and grabbed Mr Shido's leg begging him for help, but all the student got was a kick in the face and left for dead, this event went amiss by Takashi however Emerald saw this and charged up his leg musscles.

"He wants to survive right, doesn't mean he won't get hurt" Emerald said to himself as he reached the teacher "Alright asshole do you want to live?" Emerald questioned as he reached the teacher.

"What the hell are you an idiot, what kind of question is that? and is that really the appropriate language to use towards a teacher" the teacher responded.

"If so, you live on my terms" Emerald said as he jumped and brought his right leg around "I saw what you did, here's a taste of what's to come if you piss me off anymore, because that guy was a close freind of mine" Emerald sneered as he delivered a powerful kick to the teachers back, enough force being applied to send the teacher flying and slamming into the side of the bus before Emerald continued running back. once he was on the bus he slammed the door shut and saw chopper tending to the injuries of the black haired teacher before Takashi walked up to him.

"Was that really nessecary?" Takashi questioned

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"YOU KICKED A TEACHER AND SEN'T HIM FLYING INTO THE SIDE OF THE BUS" the black haired male yelled

"Oh That, I still saved his life like I promised didn't I?"

"STOP AVOIDING THE QUESTION"

"Fine, yes, I deemed it nessecary to kick fuck face back there into the side of the bus to save his life, It there a problem with that?" Emerald ranted as the bus started moving "I don't see one, you told me to save him, so what if he got injured during the process?"

"Why did you deem it necessary?"

"OK WHEN THE FUCK DID THIS BECOME AN INTERROGATION, YOU DIDN'T SEE WHAT I SAW, AND BEFORE YOU ASK WHAT YOU WOULDN'T EVEN BELIVE ME IF I TOLD YOU SO JUST DROP IT, THERE'S YOU'RE ANSWER ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?" Emerald yelled as he opened the emergency exit, climbed onto the roof then closed it up again before sitting on the front of the bus nearly getting thrown off as the bus broke through the front gate yet barely flinching. through the roof he could hear Shido talking about leadership which caused Emerald to growl "I should have either kicked him harder or kicked him the other way" Emerald mumbled as he heard the emergency door open "I've told you Takashi drop it" Emerald growled.

"Not Takashi" Rei's voice came from behind him.

"What now you want to interrogate me?" Emerald questioned sceptically.

"No, I just want to ask, what did you see, you normally never act that way towards Takashi. If you don't want to talk about it that's fine bu.." Rei started.

"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's that nobody will belive me and I'll probably end up getting kicked out of the group" Emerald explained as he heard her climb up and close the hatch.

"I won't know wether or not to belive you until I hear it" Rei answered "And I promise you won't get kicked out, I just want to help"

"Ok, I need to tell someone anyway, I usually rely on Takashi but this isn't the best of times for me to talk to him, I need you to promise me one thing though"

"What is it?"

"This conversation stays between us, deal?"

"I understand completely" Rei said sitting in silence

"Did you know someone called Timmy, Timmy Alan? (I did some digging and the guy who Shido kicked had no name, so i gave him one)" Emerald questioned

"Who doesn't he was one of the most popular guys in school" Rei answered starting to piece things together but just to be sure "What about him?"

"He was a good friend of mine, he was in that group of survivors that Shido 'helped'" Emerald continued.

"Go on..."

"He tripped over and sprained his ankle right before BEGGING Mr Shit face down there to help him..."

"And?"

"All he got was a solid kick to the face and left for dead" Emerald finished as he tightened his fists to the point where his knuckles were ice white and his short finger nails were actually drawing blood, he also spoke with venom in his voice "I could have helped him, if only i was fast enough" Emerald finished as tears slid down his face while Rei sat behind him in shock.

"Emerald, we have to..."

"NO, you said that this conversation stays between us, and I'm holding to your word"

"I was going to say get inside a bridge is coming up"

"Just worry about yourself I'll be fine" Emerald reassured without facing her and while coating his forehead in armament haki. Seeing that there was no winning this argument Rei went back inside.

-Inside the bus-

"What did he say?" Takashi asked Rei out of worry for his friend. She was just about to answer until she remembered the promise she made

"He didn't want to talk about it" Rei lied in a believable tone causing Takashi to nod then look around confused as the sound of concrete being destroyed echoed around the bus "What I can say though is you will regret helping him" Rei guaranteed as she glared at Mr Shido as he continued to drone on about needing a leader as they exited they tunnel at the same time Emerald climbed through an open window and stood up.

"You want to talk leaders fine, I nominate myself because I have all the qualities of a true leader and unlike SOMEONE I know..." Emerald started shooting an icy and intimidating stare towards Shido causing him to shudder "I would die for the sake of my comrades" Emerald finished reclaiming his seat, "now if they want a leader they can vote".

Shido, after regaining composure decided to play Emerald's game "That was an amazing speech Emerald but tell me, no look at me do you really think that people want a leader who treats their friends like this?" he questioned resulting in another punch from Emerald sending the teacher to the floor.

"Listen here you fucking shit stain, we are not friends, never have been, and never will be, NOW GET THAT THROUGH YOU'RE THICK HEAD OR GET OUT OF FUCK TOWN (that's my favorite dead-pool reference btw)" Emerald yelled losing his cool

"I think I've proved my point" Shido snickered "And to make matters worse for us, Kumuro and the others are heading towards the city"

"HEY YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OUR PLANS THEN GET THE FUCK OFF THIS BUS" Emerald snapped "YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FOLLOW US, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO GOT ON THIS BUS SO YOU CAN PUT UP WITH OUR DESTINATION"

"No Shido is right" a blonde male known as Tsunoda retorted "If you ask me we were better off where we were"

"I sort of agree with Tsunoda" another black haired male known as Kurokami added causing Shizuka to slam on the brakes.

"Will all of you shut up, I can't concentrate on driving with all this fighting" Shizuka snapped

"Whatever" the blonde male sighed as he retook his seat.

"Well then why don't you tell us all what you want to do" Tashigi spoke up.

"I Just can't stand these guy's" the blonde male said pointing to Takashi and Emerald "I hate them. This caused Kohta to ready his nail-gun before being halted by Saya

"Aw is this about the time I opened a can of whoop-ass on you with both hands tied behind my back" Emerald teased.

"What Emerald means to say is why, what exactly do you have against us?" Takashi clarified.

"Well Emerald is right about why I hate him, AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID" the blonde yelled charging at Takashi before time appeared to freeze, Emerald's foot was connected with Tsunoda's lower jaw, he was standing on one hand. the force of impact sent the male to the back of the bus.

"Any other assholes need put down?" Emerald taunted as he slid into battle stance

"Once again my point is proven, without a leader we can't survive..." Shido started

"No with you as our leader we won't survive" Emerald growled

"Ah, but Emerald, you are a student, I on the other hand am a teacher i think that makes it clear whose the more qualified for the role as I am more mature and have experience, why just moments ago I saved all these brave students, am I not correct?" at this one by one the students he saved started clapping

"Well that's my cue to get the fuck out of here" Emerald reasoned, "I'm better off alone than I am following orders from you" Emerald concluded as he grabbed his stuff and got off the bus closely followed by Rei.

"Hey Rei, Emerald come back" Takashi called.

"FUCK OFF, There's no way I'm listening to that...Ah fuck I used up all my good insults, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA" Emerald called back.

"Takashi Emerald is right, there's no way I'm getting back on that bus" Rei agreed.

"Well there's nothing I can do if you don't want to act in accordance with us" the teacher stated.

"What us?" Takashi questioned

"THIS HERE, THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT" Emerald yelled as he paused just before passing under a bridge. "You coming Rei, or are you heading off in another direction"

"One second" Rei called back before walking off to follow Emerald which caused Takashi to run off the bus and grab Rei's arm.

"Wait" he called just before they started heading under the bridge "Just get back on the bus, once we reach the city we'll leave"

"Ain't happening" Emerald started firmly "If I have to go another minute on the bus with that wheezing bag of dick tits...one moment WHERE THE HELL WAS THAT INSULT EARLIER...I will kill him, guaranteed"

"Emerald is right once again, this is why I told you that you would regret helping him" Rei added.

"NO, we will all regret this" Takashi retaliated looking towards Emerald who was now magically somehow behind him.

"Holly SHIT" Emerald yelled as a flaming bus barreled towards them "TAKE COVER" Emerald yelled as he tackled the other two under the bridge as the bus crashed separating the 3 from the rest of the group.

Takashi was the first to recover. "Are you two okay?"

"I'm fine" Rei's voice answered.

"Ok, Emerald" Takashi called only to receive no response "Emerald?" he repeated.

"I...I'm fine" was Emerald's response as he struggled to get up "Oh god my head"

"Takashi are you alright?" Saeko called from the other side.

"We're all fine" Takashi responded as undead started breaking out of the bus only to collapse in a pile of flames. "We'll meet at the east police station 7:00, if not today, then tomorrow" Takashi called through the wreckage "Now you two we've gotta go" Takashi called as an explosion started filling the tunnel.

"Will this day never end?" Emerald whined in exhaustion as he started running the explosion catching him and forcing him to crash into a wall.

"Emerald are you ok?" Takashi asked

"I...Remember" was Emerald's response which left the other two confused "I Remember, Everything" Emerald finished as an undead biker went to attack Takashi from behind Emerald pushed him out of the way then noticed a downed street light as the undead continued attacking Takashi. Mustering up his strength Emerald lifted up the post and held it is a position similar to a baseball bat the sound catching the undead's attention.

"Chew on this you fucker" Emerald said as he swung the lamp shattering the skull of the undead instantly. once the deed was done Emerald walked over to the other two. "You guys okay?"

-30 min of walking later-

they were discussing the previous attack when they came across an abandoned motorcycle and a bicycle they ran down and Takashi revved up the motorcycle while Emerald took the bike. "Hey Takashi do you even have a license?" Emerald asked

"Are you seriously worried about me getting a ticket now of all times? What are you waiting for Rei, get on" Takashi responded.

"Touche my friend, Touche" Emerald said as minutes later they were on the road and Emerald was struggling to keep up "GUY'S WAIT FOR ME" Emerald panted 'Actually I might make a quick stop at my place' Emerald decided as he turned onto a different path.

-to be continued-

A/N: Yo what's up guys I hope you enjoyed this chapter, just a few things I would like to point out.

One: I will be bringing other one piece characters into future chapters though I haven't decided on what's happening to who yet.

Two: for the vials, the drag part of most of them is a code, first one to crack it and the reference within gets a shout out.

Three: the Lamp that Emerald used near the end there wasn't a full sized modern Australian street light like I'm used to but instead just a 6 foot post with a light on the end.

Four: Read and review but please no flames
