Summary: The Zombie King wasn't an annoying internet troll. Instead, it was... a game master.


After a lot of zombie killing and filming, the Gamicademi Film Club movie project would soon come to an end. Entering the secret classroom, Room 1-6, they made final preparations for the final battle against the Zombie King, HachimaJin.

"Alright, enough talk. Let's break HachimaJin's seal!" Uzume shouted.

"Do the honors," Blanc said.

Without wasting any more time, Uzume did so, by yelling.

"Wake up, you bastard! You're going down, HachimaJin!"

Then, light illuminated the room. When it died down, the Zombie King... wasn't there. In their place was a man in an all-black suit. His face was in a sense, friendly.

"You're not HachimaJin! Or are you?"

"No, I am not," the man said, "If you're referring to that sorry excuse of a final boss, they're gone."

"You changed the codes, didn't you?" Neptune accused.

"Neptune, this isn't the time for meta jokes!" Blanc scolded.

"Yes."

"Uh... what?"

He looked around the room in wonder. He sighed and said, "Let's go somewhere else."

STAGE SELECT

Everyone was teleported to a city in ruins.

"Wow, how typical...," Neptune quipped.

"Wait," Noire spoke up, "If HachimaJin's gone, who's the final boss?"

"There's no Zombie King, so that means we win! Silly Noire!"

"Hold it, Neptune," Uzume said, "When I broke the seal, this guy came out. So that means...! Nepsy, Blansy, get away from him!"

They reacted fast enough to avoid a barrage of shots which came from a device that looked like a gamepad. The man's smile changed into a condescending smirk. Pocketing the gamepad, he confirmed their worries.

"The final boss... is me. I am the Zombie King!"

He pulled out a white game cartridge, dubbed the Gashat. It had a burly masked man with two-tone hair as cartridge-art.

"This is my game now."

He pressed a button on the Gashat.

DANGEROUS ZOMBIE

Black pixels emanated from it. Zombies spawned on the area. They weren't the zombies the Film Club used to see. They were humanoid with orange heads. Although wielding different makeshift weapons, they all had tattered clothes.

"Zombie Bugsters, way better than those degenerates you call DQNs."

"Calling your goons first? Hah! We'll smash them like bugs!"

The Film Club hacked, slashed, and smashed the crap out of the Zombie Bugsters. Their numbers didn't seem to dwindle. Fortunately, the wave of zombies stopped after a while.

"Congratulations," he praised, "Now, the actual boss battle."

He grabbed the gamepad, the Gashacon Bugvisor, and attached it to his belt. This belt is called the Buggle Driver.

GACCHON

He pressed the button on the Gashat again.

DANGEROUS ZOMBIE

This time, life gauges appeared on every Film Club member's torso.

"Wha?"

Before anyone could react, the smiling man said, "Henshin!" and inserted the Gashat into the Driver.

GASHATTO

He pressed another button on top of the belt.

BUGGLE UP

DANGER! DANGER! (GENOCIDE!) DEATH THE CRISIS! DANGEROUS ZOMBIE! (RAARRGGH!)

Black mist covered his body as a blank screen was projected. A red figure appeared on it and alternated between stances as if it was walking like a zombie. With a thrust and a swing of his arm, the screen broke, revealing his new form. He donned a black and white suit with some armor. His right arm was mostly bare with a cylindrical pauldron, while his left had a spiked pauldron and armguard. One of his eyes was red, but the other was blue due to his visor being cracked. He also had two-tone hair and a mask covering his mouth. The most intimidating thing, however, was his breastplate. It had a cracked life gauge, and the life gauge itself... was empty.

"I am... Kamen Rider Genm... Level 10."

Everyone was petrified by his appearance, except for one.

"Level 10? Pssh, this will be a piece of cake," Neptune said.

She rushed without a second thought. She swung her sword at Genm. He visibly flinched.

"See?"

She kept slashing him with her sword. Oddly, he didn't fight back.

"The clincher! Neptune Break!"

Neptune dashed and slashed the Zombie Gamer in quick succession. With a swift swing, she knocked him down. She turned back to her friends and smiled.

"Like I said, a piece of cake."

Then, Blanc noticed something from him. "Neptune, behind you!"

As she looked, she saw Genm rose up with only his legs. His body arched backwards and black aura enveloped him when he was getting back to his feet.

"Ahh," he groaned. "My counterattack."

He punched Neptune right on the solar plexus, then on the temple. Then, he picked her up and threw her back to the Film Club. Uzume caught the current Planeptune CPU, but then saw her life gauge. It was depleted to three-fourths the full amount.

"The gauge... is decreasing!"

"Huh!?"

Genm didn't let them rest. He began his assault on them. Every attack the Film Club did was in vain. He just took it without any reaction. If it was fatal, he'd just rise up again. Plus, the CPUs couldn't transform because he had a Share Jammer.

Later, everyone except Genm had their life gauges reduced to a tenth the amount.

"Kuh! What the hell... is he!?" Blanc said in pain.

"It's as if... he's an actual zombie," Neptune added.

"And like one, I'm immortal!"

He violently pulled the two away from their friends. He then pushed the two buttons on the Buggle Driver, which made the device emit a convulsing sound. He pressed the B button.

CRITICAL DEAD

Shadow zombies rose up from the ground and slowly made their way to the Film Club. Uzume and the others tried to shake them off, but they just kept coming. Eventually, the zombies surrounded them. To the shock and horror of both Blanc and Neptune, the shadow zombies flashed red and then exploded.

"How... horrible..."

"..."

Genm turned to them and said, "As for you two, I'll do it personally."

He pushed the two buttons again. This time, he pressed the A button.

CRITICAL END

A dark mist surrounded the area. He jumped, turned 180 degrees, and rapidly back-flipped to the vulnerable CPUs. They couldn't dodge due to the damage they sustained and got kicked head on. After they stopped tumbling, they realized that their life gauge... was completely depleted.

"Haha, how does it feel to lose in your own game?"

They tried to get up, but fell down again, their body glitching.

"Even the main character of her own franchise cannot defeat me!"

They began to dissolve into data.

"You may be goddesses, but I am the game master! I am the true god!

"Don't worry. I'll make this game an actual zombie game."

He walked away as Blanc and Neptune finally turned into data.

GAME OVER


No one thought of this before, so I did. I don't know if it's too grim.
