Hey everyone!
Here is the 8th chapter in my story.
I have about 5 one-shots to mix in with the plot and one more chapter relevant to the story almost done.
But back to the present, on with the story!
"We're here." Six said, still as emotionless as ever.
As soon as the doors opened enough, Kate was on the pavement making street-angels saying, "Oh sweet solid ground, never again will I take you for granted!"
The others stepped off the plane, into the eerie New York streets. The doors slid shut behind them and the way out flew away.
"Ah, the big apple. And speaking of smells, cleanse the area?" Rex went of a mini rant about how Knights lost it and he can't just cleanse a city, what ever that means.
"Do your job and you won't have to worry." Was Six's only answer.
"Cure, contain or kill. At least you keep it simple."
"Wait! Those are the options? What idiot came up with that policy?" they all looked Kate's way at her outburst. "Knight." Rex answered.
"That expiations so much." She shook her head in disapproval.
They walked through the uninhabited city looking for a sign, of anything. The only reason Kate had resisted the instinct to run, was the fear of getting eaten alive in an empty New York City.
Maybe there're gone, she thought, maybe they all… Oh, never mind. As they rounded a street corner the foursome almost ran into a pod of 'not zombies'. That is SO creepy.
"They sure look like zombies," Rex said as they assumed attack positions, "check it out! They even have that fresh from the brain buffet living dead walk."
Kate didn't know wither to grin at Rex's wisecrack, or run away in terror as the 'not zombies' moved around a snot green, brain, spider thing with extremely large teeth.
"I feel sorry for whoever they were." Bobo remarked.
The snot green, brain, spider thing with large teeth, or Meechum, noticed the four just then and extended an arm. Apparently that was a signal to attack, because the 'not zombies' slowly turned walking in a horror move-like style to eat their brains. Or something like that.
"And you're positive they don't want to eat us." Rex asked.
Six charged in, delivering solid punches and kicks effectively taking down five just like that, "Take him off the board Rex." He ordered, "Fast."
Kate joined the fight, even though every fiber in her being screamed to run the other way.
She rammed into the 'not zombies' like a pinball at breakneck pace, bouncing off one after the other knocking everything she hit to the ground. This is kind of fun, She thought as she skidded to a stop, definitely exciting.
Kate looked just in time to see Rex punch Meechum with his smack hands and try to cure him.
Seven 'not zombies' surrounded Kate; in a jiffy she was racing around them in a tight circle, creating a vortex the sucked away the air, making all of them pass out.
"I can't! He's not letting me cure him!" She heard Rex exclaim.
A smack made her turn to see Rex eat pavement. Ouch, she winced zooming over to him. He skidded to a stop by her feet, "you will join us!" Meechum proclaimed.
Rex sat up his right hand still in smack forum, but the top of his fist growing like mold was the 'not zombie' virus, "Well that can't be good." Kate quipped wide-eyed.
"You might want to get that hand looked at chief." Bobo said in his deep gravely voice.
Rex's own hand turned on him trying to take a chunk out of him, "I can't control my hand!" He yelled getting pulled along as it tried to squish Kate next. She dodged with her speed. Somehow cars got totaled, street got torn up, and a fire hydrant exploded.
Bobo and Kate narrowly missed the spray, "I'm not sure wither to run or take a picture." She nervously quipped as Bobo yelled, "hey watch it with the sewer water. The vest is dry-cleaning only."
"It's not me!" he yelled freaked out.
As much as Kate wanted to try to help more 'not zombie' were falling out of the woodwork. She rounded up at many as she could, going fast so she was just a blur. The grope was too big to use the vortex move, but she found some long cable and wrapped them up complete with a bow.
Out of the corner of her eye she watched Rex struggle with his handy problem. Suddenly the speedster herd Holiday's voice in her head, "Rex you've been infected."
"No, freaking, duh!" "If you don't cut yourself off from Meechum's influence your whole body will turn."
By now Kate realized she wasn't really going insane, it was just the intercom ear peace thingy they'd given her.
"Great, it's always something!" Rex's voice yelled in her ear.
"Six, Kate, Meechum infected Rex through physical contact. What ever you do, don't let him touch you."
"Noted."
"Roger will co."
Kate saw Six flip his swords out of his sleeve. Kind of cool, she had to admit. With ninja fast reflexes he 'sixed' his way to Meechum. His lackey things just keep coming. Six did something with his swords making them into a magnet by putting them together. Pulling some mettle carnage over Meechum he powered down his magna blades crushing the EVO with random peaces of mettle.
Kate was busy with her own problems. As she watched Rex struggle with his hand, and Six kick butt, a 'not zombie' somehow snuck up behind her and started squeezing the air out of her. Kate released the control she worked so hard to maintain and started to vibrate uncontrollably.
Finely the thing let go in pain as its flesh started sear. Kate fell to the ground, the world around her almost at a stand still. She took a deep breath forcing herself to slow down, the friction burns already healing thanks to her fast metabolism.
There was Rex still out of control swatting Six away like a fly. Ouch. Rex made a hit at Bobo, and then tried to grinded Kate into the ground. "Sorry!" he exclaimed each time.
As if that weren't enough, then Meechum made the poor teen help him out of Six's mettle mousetrap.
That over sized brain had complete control over Rex and he knew it. His green lips twisted into a wicked Cheshire cat smile that made Kate shudder, and she desperately hoped Knight wasn't confirming bleach protocol right now.
Well? It's over 1,000 words long so I think I did a good job.
I want to thank the the three people who reviewed, it helps so much. And I think i'll be able to update with in the next month, unless you are ok with seeing a one-shot in the mix. let me know if you want to see what happens next in the story line or if a one-shot is ok.
until then,
