I watched that door until the sun came up. "I obviously don't need sleep anymore." I said to myself. I stood up, putting the shotgun back on the ground, and tapped Arlene on the shoulder once. She slowly woke up, recognizing our signal to wake up normally, and started blinking her eyes slowly, taking in all of the details. I walked over to the open drawer Sally was in, and tapped her arm once. She also started to wake up, yawning beforehand. "Morning, Dad." I heard Connor say, him obviously woken up by Arlene. I walked over to Darkrai, who was still resting in the chair with a blanket over him. *Wake up, man. It's breakfast time.* I sent to him. His white hair removed itself from the strange thing around his neck, showing us his face again. "Hello. Thanks for waking me." He said. :Anytime.: I signed to him. "Honey, the sun is just starting to come up." Arlene said at the window, "How could you be awake at this hour, without any rotation of watch duty?" :I have come to the conclusion that I am no longer in need of sleep. This was brought on by absolutely no tiring feeling at all during last night's watch.: I signed to her. "Daddy? Why is there a big black Pokemon in the chair?" I heard from my left. I turned and saw that Sally had stood on her knees in the drawer, a blanket in hand, and apparently saw Darkrai. *This Pokemon was in trouble last night. Mommy and I worked together to help him out. He's one of us now.* I sent to her.

After they had breakfast of canned beans and Oran berries, we got ready to leave. I had noticed that a horde of the undead was nearby, so we had to leave this place. We double timed it down the stairs, trying to get out of there as fast as possible. Arlene led us to the parking garage, where she had parked the pickup from a while ago. Sally, Arlene and Connor got into the cab while I dropped my Keyblade into the truck bed, then got in there myself. Darkrai floated above us, having regained his ability to hover and levitate. I leaned back against the cab of the truck, resting up the torrents of energy within the armor, and then the truck started. After about fifty yards from the building, the back tires gave away. "This suit still has to be heavy." I said to myself, hopping out of the truck bed and lifting the rear end of it up. Darkrai descended, then asked me, "What is the problem? I can help." I looked at him, then sent him *I need to change these back tires. Go get another from another car. Then, get the spare and a tire iron out, and swap these back tires.* He nodded, then floated to another, nearby truck as fast as he could. He ripped the tire off of the truck, and then the alarm on that one went off. "Shit!" I said to myself. Darkrai sped back to here, taking the spare out from under the truck bed and a tire iron from the cab. "Your family is scared, and they don't know what's going on." Darkrai sent me while he was taking the lugnuts out of the tire already on the truck.

I looked over my shoulder, and saw the Zombies shuffling towards us. I dropped the truck, while Darkrai was in transition of taking the lugnuts off, and I got Arlene out of the cab. "What is it?" She asked me. I pointed to the horde coming slowly, and she told the kids to get out of the car as fast as they could. They all burst out of the truck, and I grabbed my Keyblade from the bed, keeping a firm grip on it while I ran with my family. Darkrai followed overhead, the cross of a tire iron in his hand. We ran for about fifty yards before I noticed that we were missing someone. I turned around, and saw Sally, running as fast as she could after us. I started running back, then saw that the horde was closing in. "NOOOOOO!" I yelled inside my helmet, increasing my pace. Then, in a fast, black blur, Sally disappeared from the street. I looked around, and saw Darkrai down beside Arlene, with Sally clutched in his arms. I smirked in my helmet before I heard the familiar moans.

I turned around to see that the horde was at me, so I raised my Keyblade and started swinging. I took out about five of them before they managed to shove me at the ground, then got on top of me. I kicked as many off as I could, but I saw one of them picking up my Keyblade arm. He took a quick bite, then immediately tried again. I looked inside his mouth to see that his teeth were broken, because of the contact with my armor. I smiled, knowing that they could never breech it, and punched him in the face, sending his nose directly into his brain. I took my sword and started making tiny hacks at the others, cutting their heads off. I stood up as soon as I was done, and curb-stomped as many of the undead bastards as I could. When I had finished, I walked back over to where my family and Darkrai was, where they looked at me in disbelief of what happened. :We need to find a truck that can hold me. Anybody know where an armored truck is?: I signed to them. "I saw a bank while I was flying above you guys. Don't they normally have armored vehicles?" Darkrai asked me. :Alright. Arlene, come with me. Darkrai, you watch the kids.: I signed. He nodded, and I sent him, *And Darkrai, thanks for saving Sally.* "Anytime." He responded.

Arlene and I ran around the corner, seeing no undead near us. It was a short jog over to the bank, where I quickly dispatched two undead guards that were shuffling out.I guarded Arlene as she was busy hot-wiring the armored vehicle, designed to carry gold. After a couple minutes, I heard the engine turn over, and roar to life. "Yes!" Arlene exclaimed, climbing into the cab. I opened the door into the back, and got in there, immediately shutting the door. I felt that we were backing up, then driving normally, as Arlene had backed out of the bank's garage. After about a minute, I felt us come to a stop, and I could hear Connor and Sally climb into the cab. I saw the door open again, and Darkrai got into the back with me, shutting the door. "Your wife told me that I could either get in willingly, or with a foot in my ass. I chose the one with nothing in my ass." He told me. :Ha! That's Arlene for you. Simple and to the point.: I signed to him. "So, was there any trouble?" He asked me. :Two guards, but I dispatched them before they could kiss their nuts goodbye.: I told him. "Nice." He responded. :So, any idea where we're going?: I signed to him. "No idea. Your wife never said, I bet that it's someplace she already scoped out before." He responded. I nodded, then looked in the direction of the cabin of the vehicle.


After what I presume was a few hours drive, we finally stopped. I opened the door to the back, jumped out, and found myself outside of a gun store. I walked over to the cabin, where Arlene was getting out, and she said to me, "Look, we need more ammunition. Like you always said, 'A gun is useless without something to fire.'" I nodded, then pulled my sword from my back, just in case. I stopped Arlene from going in, preferring to use my indestructible armor to obtain the ammo. I walked into the building, using the door with broken glass like a civilized person, and saw that most of the ammunition and weapons were still here. "Fools don't understand that shooting them is one of the best ways." I said to myself. I grabbed a couple of the shotguns, and a rifle, along with a couple of .500 Magnums. I strapped the smaller guns to my thighs, where there was also magnetization. My motion sensor started sounding off something, and when I looked at it, I saw two red dots behind me. I turned around, and saw two undead stumbling towards me. I quickly went up to them and sliced the tops of their heads off, causing them to drop dead. I walked over to where I could go behind the counter, and got as much ammunition as I could carry in my hand. I decided, however, to go to where the ammunition bags were, grabbed one, and stuffed it with as many rounds as I could. I zipped it up, and carried it out of the store in my hand.

After I dropped the bag and placed my Keyblade under my arm, I signed, :There were two in there, but not anymore. Anyway, we need food, soon. We need to find a grocery store, or something like that, soon.: Arlene nodded, then hopped back into the cab. I took the ammo bag and got into the back. As soon as the door closed, I propped my sword up on the wall, and pulled the shotguns off of my back, followed by the rifle. *I need you to help me load these. The thick shells go into the shotguns, and they only hold about ten shells each.* I sent to Darkrai, picking up one of them and starting to load. "Alright. What about these ones?" He asked me, picking up a .22 bullet. *That's for the rifle. I'll load that. Here, load the other kinds in here.* I told him, pulling a Magnum from my leg and putting it in his hand. He nodded, then proceeded to continue loading his shotgun. I finished putting the tenth shell in mine, so I pulled out one of the landoliers that I had snagged, and started filling that up. We managed to get the shells all ready for battle, so I went to the rifle. I pulled out the thin tube beneath the barrel until the small indent in the exterior metal showed the entrance for the rounds. I quickly and carefully loaded twenty rounds into it, the max capacity, and replaced the tube. I pulled back the bolt, making sure that a round was in the barrel, before letting it shoot forward, locked it into place, and placed it back onto the ground. I went to the other Magnum on my right, and popped the rotator for the rounds out. "How did you do that?" Darkrai asked me. I looked up, to see that he hadn't even gotten that done. I pointed to the switch that unlocked it, which he nodded, then proceeded to follow. I took six of the rounds for it, and carefully and precisely slid them into the respective six holes for it. I snapped the rotator back into the gun, and put that back onto my side.

"How can you do that?" Darkrai asked me. :Do what? Snap the thing that holds the bullets back into place?: I signed to him. "No, I mean, how can you perform such nimble and tight executions like that, in such bulky armor?" He asked, snapping the gun like I did. *Ah. Well, that is a question that is semi-easy to answer. You see, the armor that I am wearing actually enhances my mobility and my reflexes.* I sent to him, picking up my sword and putting it back onto my back, alongside the shotgun. "Ah." He said. I took the other shotgun, laying it across my lap, while Darkrai did the same with the rifle. :Hey, do you want something to hold the Magnum you have?: I asked him. "Nah. I'm just waiting until we get out, then I'm letting one of the kids use the magnum. I plan on using the rifle." He told me. I nodded, then leaned my head to the cab again.
