I should have thought of getting a lift in the green smurf's smurfvee, because the walk was extremely long. Dexter said to follow the trail of zombies back to the Smurf Village, it didn't take long for me to find that trail.
They must be attracked to something, hopefully not the green gas that turns some zombies into gas zombies. I don't have to worry about getting my skin eaten by the zombies since I wasn't their main focus at the moment, they all just ignore me as they walk in massive hordes.
Following them had an eerie feeling to it, I hadn't seen zombies so driven to something before except when they find "prey." They're hunting something, searching for it, as if they can't get enough of it, but what are they searching for?
When I approached the Smurf Village, I noticed it was walled in, again. I managed to find a way in by climbing up a tree and walked onto one of its branches, my weight managed to lower the branch onto the ground behind the fence and I jump down with ease. I then walked through the Smurf Village, just looking around for signs of any smurf life. The village appeared deserted, like there was no smurf here at all.
Chernov's house appeared deserted, its chimney no longer spewing black smoke into the air. "Hello?" I called out, "Is there anysmurf there?"
Almost immediately, muffled cries for help erupted out of almost every mushroom house in the village. Before I could do anything, something kicked me hard in the back. I was thrown onto the ground like a rag doll, I tried to get up but a kick to my rear send me flying about a meter before I crashed back to earth again.
"Look at you, a broken smurf." said Dexter's voice, "No wonder Chernov cracked you open like an egg."
I turned around and there he was, Dexter, I was horrified by his appearance. His skin was gray and he had bright red eyes like a zombie, he was wearing a woodland camouflaged smurf hat and pants as well as a black bulletproof vest. Thankfully he was clean despite smelling like a rotten corpse. "Awe, the Great Smurf," he taunts, "Is loosing his greatness, all of his little smurfs are crying for him to help them yet he can't even help himself."
Dexter kicked me in the face, sending me laying onto my back. "An old fart like you," muttered Dexter, "My Great-Grandfather has a better quality of life than you, he's seen more hell than what you're seeing at this very moment."
"How did you survive being disemboweled?" I asked.
"I didn't actually survive," said Dexter as he grabbed my ankle and began to drag me, I was too weak to fight him off, "I've injected myself with a virus that prevents me from being fully zombified, and so I reanimated and became a zombie yet I still have a brain of my own."
He took me to this large tower that looks like an oil rig, inside the tower was a yellow bomb with the chemical symbol on it. "I've planned all this for weeks, the Gray Flies and the return of zombies is half the battle. The matter is this, destroying you pathetic smurfs."
He then dropped me near the tall tower, there was a control panel on the bottom that shows the digital countdown of the bomb. "Why?" I asked.
"Tradition," said Dexter, "Gargamel wants to destroy you guys for years, and so this is my first and probably only attempt to destroy you guys. I have 5 years to live so either you win or loose, you will never able to see me alive ever again."
Suddenly he pulled out a handgun and aimed it at my face, I felt my blood freeze in my veins from the sight of it. "I'll start with you," he said, "As long as you live, they live. Besides, I never liked that 4-eyed successor of yours anyway."
I thought I was going to die for sure, a single bullet will end everything there. However, Dexter was distracted by something crashing nearby. He looked over at the wall and discovered that the zombies have broken through. A window of opportunity slightly opened and I took it immediately, I kicked the gun out of Dexter's hand and it flew across the village. Surprisingly, he didn't noticed until I knocked him back by kicking him in the stomach.
He shot back and noticed the gun wasn't in his hands, he didn't get enough time to react to it as I tackled him to the ground with my bare hands. "I guess you still have some fight in you," yelled Dexter, "Make the best of it Papa Smurf!"
Probably that's the first time a non-sky blue smurf ever called me by my actual name. We both fought each other for a long time, throwing punch after punch, kick after kick, neither of us were letting up. The zombies were starting to swarm us, just when they get near Dexter ran to the control panel and pound a button with his fist.
Suddenly, the ground rose around us in an octagonal pattern just a few centimeters high. He must have built a platform before-hand, he probably anticipated the zombie breech. We continue to fight each other as zombies began to envelope around us, there's obviously no escape and I have no one to help me at this point.
Just as Dexter kicked me back onto the ground, I slit across the platform to the edge. Below were hungry zombies, waiting to feed off my flesh. Dexter walked up to me and pressed his foot up against my neck, I struggle to breath as he tries to suffocate me to death. "I'll do you a favor by killing you before feeding them to my brothers and sisters," said Dexter, "God forbid that you'll become one of them yourself."
"I already have the cure," I uttered.
"Of course you do, the bite proves otherwise. I said it before and I'll say it again, even if there is a cure there will be no chance in saving those who are already zombified. So its too late for me. I'm sure my living siblings would firebomb this village of yours, its just a matter of time."
"I don't think they'll be using fire anytime soon," I gasped, "Cause here they come."
Up in the sky several Aurora planes came flying in, dropping their cargo on top of the Smurf Village. Instead of using incendiary rounds, they are using a yellow cloud like mixture. Just when it came into contact with the zombies, they all began to have seizures before their heads explode. Dexter released his foot off of me and shot backwards, coughing profusely.
As he was brought down onto his knees, I quickly got up and rushed to the control panel of the chemical bomb. I managed to stop the countdown with only 30 seconds to spare, not much suspense there. I turned and looked at Dexter as he collapsed onto the ground, done in by the yellow cloud that engulfed his almost useless lungs.
When the cloud clears, it reveals dead headless zombies all over the Smurf Village. It was a horrible sight, suddenly several smurfvees came roaring in including a couple of vertibirds. I saw Rachael and the twins getting out one of the smurfvees and so I jumped off the octagonal platform and rushed over to the green smurfs as fast as I can, "Rachael!" I cried as we hugged each other.
"My babies keep insisting to take them with me," said Rachael, "They wanna see Chernov for the last time regardless on what condition the body is, they're aren't 100% sure if Chernov's really dead."
"It's over Rachael," I told her, "It's all over."
"It's not over until I find my boyfriend," insisted Rachael, "Where is his body Pappy? Where?"
"I don't know, Dexter caught me off guard."
I turned around and noticed Dexter still moving, the green smurfs armed with SIRs rushed over to the octagonal platform and grabbed him. They dragged him back onto the ground and I quickly intervened as they had him surrounded in a circle. As Dexter gets up, he looked at me and grinned, "Well Pappy," he said sarcastically, "You got me."
"Where's Chernov's body?" I asked him firmly.
"Over at his house," said Dexter, "I laid him on the couch where he always sleeps."
"Show us then."
With guns trained on Dexter, we followed him towards Chernov's house and he approached the front door. "I kept the door unlocked," he said, "I was planning to bury him after all this is over, even though I hate him he's still family."
"But why?" asked Rachael.
"He's a stubborn tall and skinny smurf," said Dexter, "I hate him because I understand him, you'll never understand him anyway."
Dexter opens the door and he steps inside, we followed him into the house and discovered that the couch is empty. "God damnit," snapped Dexter, "Where did he go?"
A distinct odor went through my nose, it told me something, "He hadn't even left."
Suddenly, Chernov appeared out of nowhere and tackled Dexter to the ground. "Out! Out!" I cried as I pushed the twins out the door.
We all ran outside where a growing crowd of smurfs began to form, it was my smurfs. They all cheered at seeing me alive and well, the cheering stopped when Dexter ran out the door. A brick came flying out of the door and it struck Dexter in the back, it knocked Dexter flat on his face as Chernov limped out the door. His eyes were glowing red and his skin was gray, its clear that he turned.
All the smurfs, both sky blue and green, froze. They didn't move as they all watch Chernov slumber towards Dexter as he tried to crawl away, the brick had broken his back and thus cannot move his legs. Dexter turned onto his back to see Chernov pulling out his signature machete, then he marched straight at Dexter as he pleas for mercy and chop Dexter's head off with one single swipe.
Then Chernov stomped on Dexter's head, it was instantly pulverized.
He stared at the corpse for awhile before turning towards the vast body of water as the sunset. We watched as he got onto his knees and roared out over the waters, his voice echos throughout the Smurf Village and the forest around it. He then faced down and remained in that position for a whole minute before collapsing, still holding onto his machete.
"Show's over smurfs," I said.
Rachael tried to run up to him but I stopped her, "I'll see if he's fully dead," I instructed, "If Chernov gets up and attacks me, you know what to do."
Rachael nods and backs away slowly as I approached Chernov's body, his kids hug Rachael's knees as they hide behind their mother. When I looked at Chernov's body up close, he appears to be still breathing. Then I checked for a pulse, ironically I managed to find one.
"He's alive," I announced as all the smurfs began muttering, I turned him onto his back and pressed my ear to his chest. His heart was beating normally. "His heart is beating guys," I announced.
Rachael came running towards me and sat on the other side of Chernov, their smurflings came running to him as fast as they can. Right before our eyes, Chernov's skin slowly changed from gray to green. We were amazed by it, especially when his skin becomes warm again. When Chernov opened his eyes, they were normal again.
"Chernov," Rachael cried, "Are you okay?"
"Chernov?" I asked, "Can you hear me?"
Without saying anything, Chernov grabbed my arm and unwrapped the bandages off my arm. I was surprised to discover that the bite is now gone, a scar doesn't even remain. "I wonder what happened to the smurf zombie who bit you." said Chernov as made a grin.
"Chernov!" cried Rachael.
"Dad!" cried the twins as they all hugged Chernov.
Everysmurf cheered in glory, one green smurf fired his RS-100 wildly in the air which scared the crap out of several smurfs. We helped Chernov up to his feet as we watch the smurf dance and cheer in glory, "What happened?" he asked.
"You killed Dexter in your zombie state," I explained.
"It felt like a dream," explained Chernov as the crowd of smurfs quiet down, "Everything was red, my world was the color red. I couldn't even remember my own name, it was horrible. And as a matter of fact, I forgot what I was going to do next in my zombie state. Oh, now I remember."
Chernov walked back to his house and came back out with a gas can, he pours it over Dexter's corpse and whats left of his head before setting it ablaze with a match. "Now would someone help me burn my dead half-brothers and half-sisters?" he asked.
"I'll help," said Rachael as she took his hand.
"How about I do it for you Chernov?" I asked.
"Well I do need a vacation," said Chernov as he handed me the gas can and matches, "As you excuse me, I'm going to take a bath before going to bed. I don't even feel so good."
Chernov walked back into his house with his hand on his stomach, Rachael follows him behind as we heard Chernov hurl inside his home. "Well," I muttered, "That was sure an adventure."
Suddenly, Brainy came running into the area with a confused look on his face. "Did I missed something?" he asked.
Before anyone could answer him, Hefty approached Brainy to kick him out of the village. But I stopped him, "Hey!" I said before pointing into the forest, "Whats that over there?"
When everyone turned to look where I was pointing, I kicked Brainy in his rear so hard that he launched into the sky and landed where I was pointing. He landed right on his nogin.
"A smartass," laughed a green smurf, "With glasses."
Everysmurf laughed as hard as they can, it was such a happy ending.
THE END!
