Chapter 7: Banshee And Diablo
(Opening A/N: Okay here's a couple of wandering assassins that are looking for people to kill and they don't take sides, basic run of the mill anti-heroes, they only go by code names: Banshee and Diablo. Who they're looking for, let alone what they do is unknown, but we need to get back to Itami and the others before the Wolf and the Skull Hunters find us and make us into one of their kill trophies. And I'm not letting the Skull Hunters turn my friends or myself turn into a kill trophy for their hunt. So let's get to the chapter...)
[The next day...]
As soon as the sun came up, we knew that this was a good time to move out and find our friends before the Skull Hunters have a chance to catch a second wind let alone retaliate for the mayhem I caused those poor bastards and I bet that the Wolf is still a little pissed off that I managed to break free of my captors along with my friends.
We then unbarricaded the door and the two walkers knew that we were in the hotel coming out, as soon as the walkers got our scent they came our way, Tania then pulls out her hatchet as she cleaves the walkers heads in half killing them.
Zack and I played Rock Paper Scissors in able to see who's going to drive, I had Rock, and Zack had paper so Zack beat me and he's going to drive.
So we got into the cars and drove out of the town as we looked into the rearview mirror as a horde of walkers began to fill the streets as we left the town, as soon as we were back on the road, there was a car going the opposite direction of where we were going from, but it seemed that the car made a massive 180, sped up and cut us off.
Just then, a red headed Caucasian woman and a Latino man came out of the cars as they had a pair of rifles pointing right at us, and we knew that they were either stupid or desperate.
As soon as we got out of the cars, we grabbed our guns, pointed them right back at the duo, and were in the middle of a stand off, the six of us, with the two of them.
"Where do you think you guys are going?" Asked the woman and we just wanted to get out of dodge without losing anything or anyone, it turned out that Tania had a couple of smoke grenades on hand since they could prove to be useful if we needed them and it looked like if things were going to be a good time to use it.
"None of your business, besides, if you're here to kill us, then you've got a problem." Zack said as he signalled Tania to throw the smoke grenade she pulled the pin tossing the grenades as they did their jobs and a blanket of smoke covered the duo and Zack knew who they were as we drove through the smoke making a temporary escape.
"You still got those smokes?" Zack asked and I pulled out the pack and opened it as Zack pulled one out as I handed him his lighter as I pulled another one out and we both used the lighter to light our smokes.
"Any idea who those two are?" I asked as I took a drag from the cigarette, Zack had an idea who they were and if he did, then that means Tania did as well.
"I think I have an idea, they're a pair of wandering assassins that go by code names, the red head is Banshee and the Latino is Diablo. They're both lethal assassins and they're probably looking for more people to kill, since most of the world is blanketed in walkers." Zack said, and I knew it'd be only a matter of time before they could have a chance to get back on our trail, and they come after us let alone Itami.
But I wasn't going to let anyone let alone our leader Itami get hurt by those two jackals, even when I have the skills as an ex-mercenary.
As soon as we came up to the next town, we found an APC along with Marcus and Rika it seemed that they were looking for us as well, lucky we ran into some familiar faces and they were informed about the two assassins hunting us down.
Before we could head back to the military base, it seemed that they were on a supply run, and since we available, we could join up and find anything that could help with our survival.
But we had to be careful since we don't know what's out here, could be walkers, skull hunters, or even those two assassins, so Greyson and I decided to check out a gun shop and see if we could find any ammo or weapons to make sure that we have a fighting chance against anything or anyone.
The door was locked and the guns inside were still intact, along with all the ammo.
I took the buttstock of my AR-15 and smashed it against the glass of the front door, as the alarm began to ring, and there was a walker inside as Greyson disposed of it by using his PX4 shooting it right in the head.
I then unlocked the door and took care of the alarm, as soon as the alarm was taken care of, I noticed the walker had keys on it, not only that the key happened to be for the gun display cases, a major victory for our cause.
Greyson was trying to get a gun from the case but it seemed that it was a little hard to do.
"Find something you like?" I asked, and Greyson nodded, it turned out that he wanted to get his hands on an AA12 full auto shotgun, so I tossed him the key as he opens the case and he pulls it out.
"Yeah, I want to use this as a gift for when I punch my V-card." Greyson said, and I was curious who he was looking to do it with.
Just then there was the sound of rapid machine gunfire it was coming towards the gun shop, we ducked when the bullets came close to our heads, I couldn't tell who was shooting at us, let alone how many there were.
As soon as the gunfire ceased, I grabbed a .50 caliber Desert Eagle cocked it and aimed it right at the front door with the intent to use it, since I've been trained to use many guns and I've been really efficient with them.
And I've also been learning how to fight with a katana since I've got a swordswoman as a girlfriend, and it turned out that I've left my sword back in the car.
"Be ready for anything." I said as we were about to be ambushed and it turned out it was the two assassins from before, and I have to give it to them, they don't even know when to quit, it's like they're terminators.
"We're giving you one chance to say goodbye to this life, but we're only here for an ex-mercenary with a tattoo on the back of his neck. We know he's here, and there's no escape from us, maybe if we kill you without any resistance, we'll take all of your weapons when we're done with you." Banshee said in her Irish brogue.
"I hate to crash on your little killer party, but if you want those weapons, killing us won't do diddly squat, you want our weapons, earn them." I said as I aimed the Desert Eagle at the girl even though I hate killing women since it's not a part of Hotel Foxtrot ROE.
But it seemed that the other assassin known as Diablo was being held captive by both Zack and Tania, and Zack had his Crescent Rose in scythe form with the intent to use it on him, they don't call Zack the "Reaper" for nothing, he earned that code name even after the walker uprising.
"Have you forgotten that you two aren't the only assassins here, me and the neko, also happen to be trained assassins as well." Zack said as the blade of the weapon came close to Diablo's neck and he wanted to make sure that Greyson and I could walk out of this with our lives.
"You're making a huge mistake Ese, we're only after the mercenary, we don't want you or the gato to interfere." Diablo said in his Spanish accent, Tania and Zack didn't want any harm to come to me, in fact Zack might be Puerto Rican, and doesn't share my blood, I still consider him my brother through our bonds, even when the walkers come for us, we still stick with each other through thick and thin.
"I bet you haven't noticed that if you kill my brother in there, then you're going to experience first hand, why I'm not going to be so forgiving about people who kill my family." Zack said as he inched the blade closer to the Latino assassin's neck as it drew blood from the neck.
But there were walkers coming since we were causing a lot of chaos, and I really hope to come out of this little squabble with my life intact, also Itami would kick my ass if he saw me die out and become a walker.
One of the walkers grabbed Banshee with the intent to devour her, but for some weird reason, I decided out of good karma, to kill the walker that was going to eat her, but I managed to pop a single .50 cal bullet into the skull of the walker as the bullet explodes the skull like a balloon.
But don't pull out the champagne just yet, we needed to get out of here if we want to have a chance to get back to Itami along with the rest alive.
Little did we know, that a 3,000 year old demigoddess was watching over us, as she began to spin her massive axe around with the intent to kill some walkers, Rory saw an opening as she jumped right into the horde of walkers as she began to cleave them down to size, Zack was happy to see his beloved death goddess arrive, kick ass, and look good doing it.
"You could've have invited me to take on your captors, I mean I was trying to control myself when there was a lot of people getting killed yesterday, I mean were you the one that was killing all of those men?" Rory asked, Zack shook his head, Rory was shocked that it wasn't him.
"Actually Roman was the one that was causing all of that death when we were captured, he's a one man army when the decks stacked against him." Zack replied and Rory had no idea what I can do as a lethally trained ex-mercenary.
But I wasn't finished just yet, I decided to leave a mark, something that won't come off, I fired another bullet and left a massive gaping hole in the female assassin's leg as she just screamed in pain.
"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! HOW DARE YOU?!" Banshee shrieked hence why they call her Banshee since she can scream.
"Consider this a mark of an ex-mercenary you won't forget, and I'm warning both you and your partner now, come after me again, and I'll kill you both, this is your first and final warning." I stated as she was hyperventilating through her teeth after I shot a massive hole in her leg.
Marcus saw the carnage as he and Rika decided to pack up and head back to base, with us in tow.
Diablo then picked up his partner as he knew that the hunt was still on, and they were going to stop at nothing to make sure that I meet my maker, but there are things that I want to do before I die, and I'm going to need all the life I have to make it possible.
"I tell you what, we're going to kill that gringo along with all of his friends, mark my words." Diablo said as he wrapped Banshee's arm around his shoulder helping her walk with an injured leg.
[To Be Continued...]
(A/N: Well guys, I'm going to keep the flow going, since I'm close to the halfway point of this arc, then we go to Alexandria, then the war. That's going to be really fun, so please feel free to leave a review, fave, follow, OC, idea for a future chapter, etc. And I'm looking forward to the mid season finale of the Walking Dead. And all roads lead to war, I just Rick, Daryl, Michonne, and Rosita don't die off, since they're my favorites of the series so far, and Negan is my favorite antagonist, but when he dies, there won't be another to take his place. And yes, Negan will be in here, but after I finish this arc, bring in Rick along with the survivors, until the next chapter, this is the master of chaos, the commander of the legion of corpses, BloodyDemon666 signing off!)
