"And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department."

-Andrew Carnegie

2 days later (meaning two days after Harribel's rescue and Richard's enjoyment)

Random female news reporter: Word of the virus's mutation has spread globally as well as the mutation itself. Information on these things from an anonymous source was sent around the world to help us combat these things. Not only has the country's military and police force begun making actions but the civilians are doing the same. The people have decided to arm themselves with whatever weapon they could get their hands on. They have grown tired of these things and want them dead as do I. Standing next to me is English actor and former driver Jason Statham. Jason, tell us your thoughts on the zombie situation at hand.

The female news reporter held the microphone towards his face allowing him to answer.

Jason: Before I do that, I would like to thank the person responsible for sending out information on these things. The information has been very useful for us. As for my answer, I think this zombie situation needs to end. Too many lives are being taken away by this virus. We need to find a cure for this and end it before humanity's gone.

Jason pulled out a desert eagle and fired it a few times.

Jason: I think we should be heading off now. These things are approaching our location.

Several roars could be heard indicating that there was a thug nearby. The sounds of gun shots were heard throughout the area.

Jason: EVERYONE RETREAT!

The camera dropped onto the floor and several people ran pass as well as a few zombies.

Richard: "I don't see the point in watching the news right now especially with how things are right now. This will only scare you all further more."

Saya narrowed her eyes at Richard.

Saya: "The point of the news is to inform the public of the situation at hand stupid. We wouldn't have known about the mutation otherwise which would have placed us in a bad situation if we were to head out to save our parents. We need all the information we can get on these things, so we could take them down. Besides you need to watch the news more stupid so you could protect you home more."

Richard couldn't help it that she has point for the moment.

Richard: "I don't need the news to learn about those new things. I could simply head to the gates to learn about them. Besides, my friend was the one to inform the news about these creatures. He was also the same person to name these things."

Saya fold her arms in anger that he would keep such information to himself.

Saya: "Then why didn't you tell us about them, Richard? You knew, we'll leave soon so we could have prepared for them."

Saya clenched her fist in anger while the others simply stood by and watched the scene unroll. Richard pinched the bridge of his nose.

Richard: 'What the hell got into her today? She wasn't like this yesterday or the day before that.'

He thought about it clearly and came up with only one possible explanation as to why she was like this.

Richard: 'She must be worried about her family. I mean I would worried too if I had family members out there fighting these mutated things. To a normal person, those things will be a problem. For a someone like me and Harribel, killing those things will be cake walk.'

Richard allowed himself to relax then proceeded to explain his reason for not telling them.

Richard: "I didn't tell you, because it would only cause more stress plus I was already taking care of preparations for your group."

Saya was surprised by this. Seeing Saya relax, he continued his explanation.

Richard: "I prepared an IAV Stryker for you and your group. Those things will have a hard time trying to reach you all."

He paused for a second when he realized something.

Richard: "Speaking of groups, who will be heading with Takashi, who will be heading with me, and who will remain here in the mansion?"

Saya was confused by this. What did he mean?

Shizuka: "I'm heading with you, Richard-kun."

Saeko: "I'm heading with you, Richard-kun."

Saya turned towards the sources of both voice to find both Shizuka and Saeko. Before she had a chance to say anything, two new voices were heard.

Matsushima and Asami: "We're sticking with Kohta."

Matsushima and Asami walked over to Kohta and grabbed his hands. Rei stood up as she made her response.

Rei: "I'm staying with Takashi."

Richard recorded each name under three different groups. The first was his group, the second was Takashi's group, and the third was those who would remain in Avalon. Once he was done recording the groups, he returned his attention to them. Upon seeing everyone engaged in separate conversations, he sat by and remained quite. He turned away to retrieve their rides and gun supplies for their journeys.

Saya: "Shizuka, Saeko, why aren't you coming with us? We came in as a group, so why not leave as one? Plus we need you two."

Saeko sighed sadness before explaining her selfish reason for not remaining with Takashi's group.

Saeko: "For some reason, I just want to be near him. There's something about him that I can't help, but notice."

She closed her eyes for a brief second as she tried to explain to Saya what she really wanted to say.

Saeko: "I think, I'm falling for him Saya."

Saya's eyes widen a little, but she remained quite. She turned towards Shizuka who had a small blush upon her cheeks.

Shizuka: "I'm guessing the reason you're going with Richard is similar to Saeko's case."

Shizuka nod her head slowly indicating that was how she felt as well. Over the few days she's been with Richard, she couldn't help but notice how he treated her like a woman instead of a simple teacher or nurse.

Takashi: "Then go with him."

Saya turned towards Takashi in pure disbelief. He was letting one of their best fighters and only nurse go just like that. Takashi smiled at her shocked expression then explained why he was letting their best fighter go.

Takashi: "Everyone deserves some type of happiness in their life so why not Saeko or Shizuka? If Richard makes them happy, then I think they should stay with him."

Saya opened her mouth to say something but remained quite. After a few seconds of silence, she sighed at what she was about to say next.

Saya: "Fine, but we're still losing valuable members of our group. Saeko would have been very helpful in helping us fight off these things and Shizuka was our only driver. Speaking of which, who will drive for us anyway especially that military vehicle Richard's giving us."

Just as Kohta was about to volunteer, someone answered her question.

Richard: "Don't worry about that guys, I have that covered."

The group was startled by Richard's sudden presence.

Richard: "I also have a replacement for Saeko and she's more skilled and experienced in using a sword. Right now she's waiting outside for you guys. She'll help you all fight those things and drive you around to your destinations. Now follow me."

He motioned for them to do just that.

The two groups stood up and followed Naruto outside where they were greeted to the sight of a large aircraft with a Sisu XA-186 attached to it. Standing beside the vehicle was most likely Harribel and…..

Rei: "What the hell are they doing here?"

Rei glared at the two girls standing next to Harribel. She turned her attention towards Richard then asked the various questions on her mind. These were also the questions in the minds of those who knew the two girls.

Rei: "Why do you have Shido's followers in here and where is Shido?"

Richard was utterly confused by her question? He didn't know who Shido was at all. Rei soon realized this then informed him about the two. For the next 20 minutes, Richard listened to Rei as she described the type of man Shido was and how he brainwashed several students.

Richard: "Well, Rei you won't have to worry about this Shido guy who isn't here at all. We found those two alone in a house filled with prisoners so it's safe to assume that Shido left them behind to die. Anyway they will remain here away from Shido's influence which will allow them to revert back to their normal selves. Harribel's the woman standing next to the two girls. She'll join your group on your journey."

Kohta: "What exactly is that?"

Richard turned towards Kohta who had stars in his eyes. For some reason, he couldn't help.

Richard: "That is my prototype which I call the D77-TC Pelican. You'll be able to travel around the city without any problems and take out large amounts of zombies. So far I haven't heard about any problems with this machine but then again, I never do have any problems with anything I create. Also before you all leave, I have something for everyone."

He opened the small duffle bag he had with him and proceeded to pull out small devices. He gave each member a device then explained what it was.

Richard: "It's our means of communication with one another. You'll also be able to surf the web as well."

He allowed each member to experiment with the device for a while.

Richard: "I programmed an application into each device by the name of life status. Basically we'll be able to keep updates as to how we're doing right now. If one of you becomes bitten, we will know immediately. Harribel will be there to assist the person who was bitten to prevent the virus from spreading. We do have a way to prevent someone from becoming one of them but there are requirements that must be met. Harribel will explain what those requirements are plus give you all bands that will keep track of your health status."

Once he was finished explaining about the application, he synced each devise allowing everyone to see each group as well as their members and their status which was currently had the words Normal next to their names indicating that they were okay.

Once they were all linked to each other, Takashi and his group went aboard the large aircraft which took off once they were all on board. Richard watched as Kawamoto and Taniuchi went in the direction of Harribel's quarters. Harribel must have told them where to go before heading off. Richard turned towards his small group of four counting himself.

Richard: "Alright ladies, you're with me from now on. We're going to have some zombie slaying fun."

He led his group towards the direction of his ride which wasn't parked too far away. The small group approached something that looked similar to an advanced version of a helicopter.

Richard: "This is the UH-144 Falcon, another one of my prototypes. I have 2 of these built so I could race my friend. I'm planning to build copies of each prototype I have now and it will be exclusives of this island. This baby's equipped with a M638 Auto-cannon and two side-mounted M247H Heavy Machine guns. It carries up to 5 people, one pilot, two crewmen who may serve as door gunners, and three passengers. All in all, we'll have plenty of fun in this."

Richard punched his fist in the air which caused the others to giggle.

Richard: "Alright all aboard for the fun express."

Richard allowed each member of his group to enter the aircraft before getting on himself.

Avalon trooper#1: Sir Richard, there's a female by the name of Rika Minami trying to get in contact with someone by the name of Shizuka Marikawa. I believe she's in your group sir.

Shizuka perked up at when she heard the name of her best friend.

Shizuka: "Richard-kun, is there a way for me to speak with her? I know her."

Richard nod his head before responding back to the voice.

Richard: "Transfer her over Shizuka's communication and let her speak with her. She seems to know who it is."

Avalon trooper#1: Very well sir, I will do that immediately.

Shizuka heard her device beep a few times which she answered immediately.

Shizuka: "Rika is that you? Where are you right now?"

Rika: Yeah it's me Shizuka. I'm at Tokonosu Airport right now trying to locate an alternative transportation for me and my partner. Apparently someone wreaked my Humvee so it'll be a while before I'm able to reach you. Speaking of which, where are you anyway?

Shizuka: "I'm in a super helicopter with guns. We're about to fly off and slay some zombies. I'll ask Richard-kun to drop by and pick you and you friend up."

As soon as Shizuka said this, Richard used his device and cut her connection then proceeded to contact Rika which was the name Shizuka called her.

Richard: "Miss Minami do you or your partner knows how to fly a helicopter?"

Richard waited a few seconds for a response.

Rika: Yeah, my partner knows how to fly one.

Richard: "Alright that's good news because our helicopter's actually full right now so I'll send over a second one for your friend to fly. Once you receive the helicopter, please be careful with it. It's only a prototype and I only have two of them total."

Richard proceeded to send a command to his second UH-144 Falcon.

Richard: "It'll be there within the next 30 minutes. Stay put and stay completely out of sight until your ride arrives."

Rika: We'll be waiting patiently, sir.

Richard turned his attention to the group as a smile appeared on his face.

Richard: "Shizuka, Saeko, man the guns and prepare for a good time."

The aircraft came to life and slowly rose from the floor. It continued rising until it was at least 200 feet from the ground. The large propellers rotated forward until it was horizontal. The aircraft took off like a plane in the distance of Tokonosu.

O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O

Rika: "It looks like we're getting help soon thanks to Shizuka. I can't wait to see her."

Rika couldn't help but feel a little happy at this. She glanced down at the mass crowd of zombies more specifically the new zombies.

Rika: "I'm still surprised we managed to get away from those things even though we have to leave most of our weapons behind."

Tajima shuddered a little when he thought about their mad dash to the airport rooftops. He was starting to loathe the new zombies already. Why couldn't they remain slow and blind?

Tajima: "I never thought about the possibility of those things changing into something deadlier. Right now, I'd rather take on 100 slow zombies than that a super one. When did they get that way and how did they change?"

Rika didn't know how to respond to that. She too was curious about the change.

Tajima: "Hey Rika, could you check the web for any news update? I'm sure they have some type of information about these new creatures."

Rika nod her head then proceeded to do just that. She pulled out her device and searched for any news updates. It didn't take long before she found what she was looking for.

Rika: "Alright, I found what we're looking for."

Tajima moved closer to her to see the information. Both of them took the next few minutes reading over the updates about a mutation amongst the zombie crowd as well as the apparent names given to the new creature as well as the first batch. Once they were done reading about the new zombies, Tajima couldn't help but shudder.

The thought of zombies becoming stronger just made him very nervous.

Of course, no one could blame him for being this way especially after reading about a zombie capable of flipped a Humvee over with a tackle.

Tajima: "Why do bad things have to happen to good people?"

Tajima cried anime style at how things were right now. Rika could only shake her head at him. She placed her device away and leaned back. It's been 10 minutes since their contact with whoever Shizuka was with. This meant she had about 20 minutes until their helicopter arrived.

20 minutes later

Both Rika and Tajima stood up immediately when they heard what sound like a helicopter. Tajima used his binocular to scan the skies as did Rika.

Tajima: "What kind of helicopter is that?"

Rika turned towards where Tajima was turned towards and found the odd looking helicopter flying towards them…

Rika: "Where is the pilot?"

Rika didn't see anyone in the future looking helicopter. She continued scanning the aircraft as it flew closer to them. She grabbed the small bag of ammunition as did Tajima. They watched as the aircraft lowered itself until it was hovering over the roof allowing them access. Tajima and Rika quickly entered the aircraft to find the entire helicopter empty.

Richard: Right now the UH-144 Falcon is on auto-pilot. Tell the pilot of the group to deactivate the auto-pilot so he'll be able to gain control of it. The switch it located…

Tajima did exactly what the voice told him to deactivate the auto-pilot. Once he was in control of the aircraft, he proceeded to fly away from the roof. Rika stationed herself on one of the large guns as they few away.

Richard: My current location will appear on the radar in the form of a green arrow. You'll be able to track us down with that Radar.

Rika: "Tajima, head over to their direction immediately. I'm eager to see how Shizuka is right now."

Tajima nod his head and did just that. He took off from the airport in the direction of the green arrow.

O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O

Richard: "Alright Shizuka-chan, your friend Rika and her friend are on their way here as we speak."

Shizuka cheered at this. Saeko and Yuuki couldn't help but smile at how Shizuka was right now. Once her cheer was over, she went back to firing the large mounted machine gun at a group of zombies trying to reach a group of teens standing on top of an RV. Yuuki was on the opposite machine gun clearing away zombies that were moving towards the RV and Saeko used a mounted touch screen to control the auto-cannon to kill zombie with precise shots. Bullets rained down on the zombies below as they continued clearing the area. Richard just kept the aircraft still allowing his companions to continue ridding the world of these things.

Harribel: How you holding up over there, Richie?

Richard's group chuckle or snickered of his nickname and his eye twitched when he heard Harribel's voice. Well of course, its his childhood nickname since he was a child.

Richard: "I'm doing fine, Harribel. What about you and your team? Where are you right now?"

Harribel: We're at Tokonosu Police Station looking around for signs of Rei's father. I'm sure they left some type of clue as to where they left. Once we find wherever they went, we'll be heading off again. . . I'll be off for a while, I have a few thugs to take care of.

Once their communication ended, Richard returned his attention to the ground below.

Richard: "Alright, let's find another heavy population to lower."

He flew off in a separate direction from where the survivors were to do just that. His eyes scanned the area around him to find a large group that could pose a problem for any survivors.

BOOM

The sound of explosions caught his attention. Based on the sound of the explosion, it was at least 3 blocks from where he was. He turned the aircraft towards the direction it came from and went to investigate what caused the explosion. Upon arrival, he was greeted to the sight of several criminals throwing explosives at cars, zombies, and buildings to cause collateral damage. Richard could only shake his head at them. It would seem that prison didn't change them at all. He took notice to the various uniform colors each prisoner wore.

Richard: 'It seems that prisoners from the maximum security escaped as well. This will not end well for the survivors at all.'

Shizuka: "I guess no one was around to make sure the prisoners escaped. That's not going to end well for the survivors."

Shizuka felt bad for the people who would encounter these criminals soon. Nothing good would come from their encounter. Things ranging from death, rape, and much more went through her mind. Richard was having similar thoughts as well. As a matter of fact, he was tempted to just kill them all but not all criminals were the same. Some criminals were actually innocent people convicted for a crime they didn't do but weren't able to fight against it due to evidence found against them. It was evidence that someone could have planted on them to avoid prison time.

Another reason they could have been put in prison was because they were too scared to speak up. There were many reasons why an innocent person could have been placed in prison.

Richard: 'Maybe if I could simple kill those wearing certain uniform colors.'

Richard thought about doing just that. He knew about their uniform colors and what it meant. The uniform colors represented different levels in which they were placed.

A perfect example was the orange jumpsuits which were only worn by people that committed things like multiple homicide, cannibalism, acts of terrorism, and other high level crimes. They were usually kept in super secured prisons away from sunlight. They were kept under surveillance 24/7 and were limited to many things such as outside time, and a few other things normal prisons give their prisoners.

Saeko: "I think getting rid of them will be the best choice Richard-kun."

Richard turned towards Saeko when she said this. It would seem that he wasn't the only one thinking about something like this. Saeko continued scanning the insane group below.

Saeko: "I'm not saying to get rid of every prisoner but you should eliminate those who prove to be a threat towards everyone or attacks survivors without any reason. We'll use our best judgment on this. Right now these guys seem like the type that will do harm towards not only the military but survivors as well. Just look at the way their acting right now."

Richard scanned the group of crazed individuals as if trying to decide on what he should do. After much thought, he simply gave Saeko the okay sign to eliminate them. Saeko aimed the auto-cannon to the group of crazed prisoners and fire at the far below resulting in a large explosion.

The other prisoners upon seeing the futuristic helicopter shoot at them began to flee immediately. A few retaliated by throwing explosives at the helicopter to destroy it.

Richard maneuvered the helicopter allowing the explosive to sail by. Saeko fired several more rounds killing off those who tried to retaliate. The other prisoners ran into buildings to hide from the aircraft. Saeko simply shot a few rounds towards the entrance of a few buildings they entered. If they were at the entrance, they would be injured no matter how minor or serious the wound was.

Richard: "Alright we won't be able to kill them all but we did enough to help the survivor's chance of living. Hopefully they were smart enough to get some decent weapons."

Richard took of once more to continue reducing the zombie population.

O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O

Jackal: "Ladies and gentleman, fellow prisoners alike, we have thought of an idea that could benefit all of us as a whole."

Jackal scanned over the gather prisoners armed with weapons. Beside Jackal were Juggernaut, Fury, and Zero.

Jackal: "We have decided to turn this place into our new home for all prisoners alike. We will expand this place to give us more space and gather weapons left behind from the military. I'm sure there are plenty of weapons left behind from deceased military soldiers or wreaked vehicles. We can scavenge those items to use for our home. The armored could be used to fortify this place against both zombies and people alike."

Jackal paused to ensure he had everyone's attention.

Jackal: "We will continue expanding until we have an entire country for ourselves. It will be a paradise for any and all prisoners. There will be no law to bound us or police to rule over us. We will be the ones in control."

The gathered prisoners cheered at the thought of building such a place. Jackal raised his hand to regain their attention.

Jackal: "The first thing we need to do is expand this area and gather weapons. We have a hardware store so we'll be able to strip apart anything out there to use for us to use. Everyone here will be separated into groups of two. One group will expand the turf and the other will gather supplies. As we recruit more prisoners alike, we will send them into one of two groups to speed up the process. Now let's begin the process immediately."

With that being said, Jackal began separating the prisoners into groups of two.

The Juggernaut gripped his weapon tightly as he made his way to the garage where a few walkers were. He would begin eliminating zombies surrounding their fort. This would allow the other prisoners to leave the building without being attacked by zombies. He made sure the shotgun on his back was secured before entering the area and start eliminating each zombie with his defiler.

Zero went to the rooftops with several large duffle bags filled with weapons ranging from a nail gun and hand guns. He would eliminate the strong zombies from a distance to increase the other prisoner's chance of survival.

Fury waited for the prisoners to leave. He would travel with the group that would be heading out to gather supplies.

Jackal after separating the two groups went to the attic where he saw communication equipment. He would use this as a means to gather more prisoners to this location as well as vehicles, parts, and several other things they could use.

O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O

Harribel: "Alright, it seems like you're father went to the academy where Takashi's mother works at so we'll head over there immediately to check things out."

Rei didn't acknowledge Harribel's words at all. She was currently trying to convince herself that everything was okay and that her parents were both okay. Harribel noticed this and sighed. She had an idea as to what she was doing right now and she couldn't blame her.

When Harribel landed on the roof of the building, they were greeted to the sight of several zombies wearing officer uniforms. They quickly dispatched the zombies then proceeded to head downstairs towards her father's office. Harribel cut down several weak and strong zombies alike with ease. She told them that she would dispose of them quietly to avoid attention which is exactly what she did. They eventually reached the office which was completely wreaked and occupied by a Ram.

Harribel immediately dispatched the Ram with several bullets to the head. She never gave the Ram a chance to charge knowing this would end up bad for her group members. The group searched the room for any signs of where the officers could have gone which they found in the form of a bloody message. No one knew who the belonged to but for some reason, Rei feared the worst.

Takashi: "Don't worry Rei, I'm sure your father's okay. He doesn't seem like the type of man to simply die so easily."

Takashi placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. Both Rei and Saya felt a little comfort from his words. Any bad thoughts Saya had about her parents dying and becoming one of them went away. Her parents were strong and smart so she was sure they would have been able to survive. Harribel glanced at them in the corner of her eyes. Part of her wanted to tell them not to get their hopes up too high but she decided it was best to remain quite on the situation. There was no point in crushing their hopes for nothing. Besides who was she to say that their parents died or were currently alive somewhere safe. Right now there was a 50/50 chance that they either lived or died.

She would wait to see whether they lived or not. If they lived, she would be able to take them back to Avalon where they would live their new lives. If they were zombies, she would eliminate them herself if Takashi and the others weren't willing to do so.

Speaking of Avalon, Harribel began to wonder how many people Richard would allow on his island before he started rejecting others. She would need to ask him later when they were alone. She knew Richard wasn't planning on housing an entire country. Harribel started the aircraft once more before taking off with their next destination being the academy Takashi's mother worked in which was also the area the Rei's father and a group of survivors were supposed to be.
