A teenager went out into the middle of the streets with his Olympia over under shotgun and some shells. He was determined to taking out as many of them as possible if he was going to go down. He fired off his two shots killing the zombies that were the closest to him. But since the weapon only held two shots, he had to reload it. He slipped in the first shell with ease and the second shot fell out of his hands. He leaned down quickly grabbing the shot, he leaned back up to see four zombies had him surrounded. He reloaded the shot as he fired both of killing the two zombies in front of him but not behind him. The zombies behind him grabbed him as they dragged him to the ground and they proceeded to eat him. He cried out as his cries fell on deaf ears. Tonight will be relentless.

The night wore on with riots, fires and people bashing down the police and the government for not supplying them with enough to protect them from the zombie onslaught. All the students were held up in their apartment with many of them asleep. Saya and Shizuka were as calm as a kitten as they slept. Saeko was still awake as she took an avocado from the basket; she sliced it open with a knife. She puts it down on a paper plate as she made strips of it. The fruit was very creamy and ripe as she tasted one of the slices. Takashi yawned as he saw Saeko was still awake as he went down to greet her.

"Man is it hot." Takashi sighed.

"Yeah I can feel it, I can't even sleep." Saeko admitted.

"Kohta said he was heading onto the balcony to take a breather, we had to keep the doors open." Takashi told her taking a piece of the fruit as he ate it. "Tasty isn't it?"

"It is pretty ripe, want to head onto the balcony?" Saeko made the offer as she took the plate of avocado with her.

"Sure if I must." Takashi admitted following her.

They got onto the balcony two minutes later as they both spotted Kohta relaxing in the fresh air and Nikolai who was staring down the scope of the Mosin Nagant. He was concentrating on something.

"It's clear that Nikolai isn't getting any sleep tonight." Takashi turned his head to Kohta.

"He'll defend this place to the last man standing." Kohta admitted.

"I got some avocado, want some?" Saeko offered to them.

"Sure I guess." Kohta smiled as he took some of the fruit and he ate it. Nikolai took a piece and ate that as well.

"This is good. It would go well with some grilled chicken cutlets and some Sriracha mayo. As well as some boiled potatoes with sea salt and some raw spinach on the side for a nice leafy green." Nikolai told them as he was thinking about food. "And some water to wash it down with."

"Talking about food is going to make us hungry but thanks for cooking for us." Takashi complimented him.

"So what do you think of worldwide food?" Kohta asked.

"My mother was a world traveler. She would come back home with various food, drinks, spices as well as sweets. I don't really like sweets though." Nikolai admitted. "Tell that to my sister who is very fussy about what she eats."

"So have you ever tried sushi before? I heard it's really good in Japan." Saeko asked.

"I have, and it was delicious, I like the rolls the most since it's a lot of goodness in a bite." Nikolai told her as he ate another slice of the avocado. "I also made sushi a few times and it was decent. Me and a few others had to make a ton of sushi for new freshmen as a taste tester who were coming to the school for the first time, I made a ton of it and tell that to the head of the cooking department who nearly cut his thumb off with a meat cleaver."

"Ouch." Takashi admitted. "But like I said practice makes perfect. And another thing, why did you come outside instead of sleeping in the apartment like everyone else?"

"Because the apartment has no air conditioning, I can't spend twenty minutes in there without melting." Nikolai admitted. "And if you're out in the front lines, you might as well make yourself comfortable." He resumed looking down the PU scope about 100 meters away.

"See anything interesting out there?" Kohta asked.

"Nothing so far, I've been spying this house for the last half hour for any sign of activity." Nikolai admitted. He soon turned the rifle to the left and spotted an adult holding a monkey wrench, a little girl and their dog as they walked to the house. "Sounds like we got company."

The man and the girl walked up to the house thinking they would have salvation. They rang the doorbell to see who was home. The door opened slowly

"Thank you…" The man began. But before he could continue, a steak knife taped to a stick jabbed the man in the chest. The homeowner looked at the stranger as he was protecting his family from danger. He didn't know who this man was. He pulled the stick out from the man as blood slowly dripped down from him. Once done with that, he slammed the door behind him as the girl and the dog walked over him as he was bleeding out.

"Daddy?" The girl whined. She ran over to see her father was bleeding out before her. Her father fell to the floor as the wrench made a very loud clang as it got the student's attention on the balcony.

"It's okay, find somewhere to hide." The man told her.

"I want to stay by your side!" The girl told her daddy.

"I'm sure someone would find you. Now please, hide somewhere for daddy." He responded as he eyes closed. His body lay limp.

"You can't die! I can't have someone else go!" She whined. Tears were beginning to water her eyes as she began crying over her father's death. The zombies took this as an opportunity to prey on the helpless child. They began to stagger over to the area as the people watched on. The dog prepared to defend her in what way it could.

"This is not good, we need to rescue the kid and the dog. Kohta, grab your AR-10 you and Nikolai are on sniping duty. Saeko wake everyone up and tell them to pack everything up, the food, clothes, everything." Takashi ordered. Saeko ran inside to wake everyone up, Kohta took his AR-10 and he prepped it on the bipod.

"Permission to engage?" Nikolai asked as the zombies were now on top of the girl.

"Permission granted." Takashi responded.

"LET'S ROCK AND ROLL!" Kohta shouted excitedly as he disengaged the safety of the AR-10. A zombie was on top of the girl ready to eat her then, Bang! The shot tore through the zombie's skull as it fell to the ground. Nikolai fired shots from the Mosin Nagant as it tore through a couple of the zombies as he was being cautious about when he would fire.

"The girl is a hundred meters away from here, how are we going to get to her without having her get eaten?" Nikolai asked.

"I know a way." Takashi promised them as he raced into the apartment, everyone was awake and packing their essential as Saeko was packing Nikolai's stuff as well since he was with Kohta.

"Okay we need people to be on guard duty while I'm out. Takashi ordered them.

"Some of our stuff is already packed, I'll be watching over this house the best I can." Saeko told him slamming the stick down.

"Come with me Rei." Takashi ordered. Rei followed him. Once they got to the garage of the building, they were going to have a grand entrance. "Move that ramp to the center." Rei did the order she was given as she was panting when she was done. "A little bit to the left."

"You're killing me." Rei panted as she pulled it to his left.

"Perfect." Takashi told her. Rei walked over giving him the M1911A1.

"For your personal safety." Rei told him.

"Thanks." Takashi smiled, he started the Motorcycle up armed with his pistol and Baseball bat, he sped off into the streets whirling around the zombies. Nikolai and Kohta were reloading as they killed about 34 zombies.

"Is that Takashi?" Nikolai asked as he spotted him whirling on the motor cycle.

"Must be him, he's getting close." Kohta responded. Takashi swirled around as he leaped from his bike after hitting a large bump that sends him flying. The bike gets totaled is it crushes a zombie that was on it. He landed with a thud but he got up as he raced into the estate while the snipers picked off the zombies that were nearby.

"Thanks you two." Takashi smiled.

"You're very welcome." Kohta called out as he continued sniping.

A zombie was very close to the girl but before he can grab her, Takashi bashed it out of the way, the girl looked up as the dog yapped.

"Are you here to pick me up?" Asked the girl.

"Yes I am." Takashi said before he looked down at the girl's father who was dead and beginning to rot. "He surely was a good man to take care of you." He scooped the girl up into his arms letting him ride on him as he soon cradled the dog.

"Tell them that evacuation is needed, we're getting out of here." Nikolai said as he looked to see more zombies coming their way but he knew that they were on their own.

Everyone was packing the Humvee up with food and supplies to get out of there. Saya and Shizuka exited the apartment as Rei was busy packing.

"Where is everyone?" Rei asked as she was getting everything ready.

"Saeko is still guarding the house, Kohta and Nikolai will be heading down soon." Saya told Rei, She soon turned to Shizuka. "Looks like the nurse forgot to put anything on."

"No wonder it feels so cold out here." Shizuka shivered as she made the realization she forgot to wear anything.

"Put something on, we leave in a few and you will be driving." Saya told her.

Back along the ledge, Takashi was trying to maintain his balance as he handed the dog to the girl.

"Well it must have been crazy, to do something this brave." Takashi smiled as he edged slowly across the ledge. He upholstered his M1911A1 from his pocket. "I'm Takashi by the way. And what is your name?"

"Alice." Alice responded holding the dog. "Strange name in Japan since my mother is American. And the puppy is Zeke, he was our neighbor's dog but we decided to take care of him when it broke out."

"You mean the zombies?" Takashi asked.

"Yeah." Alice sighed. A zombie soon grabbed Takashi's foot as he had no choice.

"Get off!" Takashi shouted shooting a zombie. "We don't know how we are going to get away from this crowd?" He asked as he looked as he saw the Humvee slowly cruise to their position with Kohta riding the roof and Saeko standing on the roof itself.

"Cavalry has arrived!" Alice screamed happily. Takahsi ran over as he jumped onto the Humvee roof.

"Let's kill some stiffs." Kohta shouted as he fired his AR-10 into the crowd. The bullets penetrate the crowd as everyone else opened fire with their guns decimating the zombies around them, Kohta was laughing happily. Soon all of the grenades were beginning to be lobbed out as they exploded all around killing more of the zombies. Nikolai tossed the last Molotov cocktail as it lit the zombies where the bottle had smashed.

They were driving through the river seeing the water had gone down enough to make sure the car didn't flood.

"Everyone keep your window's shut." Shizuka advised as they entered the water.

"It's clear the zombies won't enter the water." Takashi admitted as he and Alice along with the dog entered the car.

"Yeah zombies can't swim." Nikolai told him as he let Takashi takeover the role as shotgun. "I wish I had a weapon for close range seeing my Mosin Nagant can't keep up short range combat. I need a better gun but I will hang onto this since it's useful for long range."

"Maybe we should find you a better gun, You're always one step ahead of us." Saya smiled.

"Make that two, we should get Alice a primary weapon so she can fight too." Nikolai told her.

"Alice can't fire a gun." Saya told him.

"We can make her try." Nikolai reassured her.

[A/N]: Finally, things are getting interesting. We finally got Alice and Zeke the puppy; the only two characters that I would care about and the new weapons are put into action, I wonder what would be around the corner for them next. This would be a bit longer than normal.
