Chapter 10 is here. This is part of my weekly update. The part where I update on a Friday or Saturday for that week. I DO NOT OWN Shi-no-numa or "The one"


"What's going on Twilight?" I ask, kneeling down to look into her eyes. The black wolf just moves closer to me.

"Kitsune, what's the matter girl?" Silver kneels down to check on her animalistic ally.

"Kitsune, what is it?" Carly kneels down and lays a hand on the red fox's fur. The fox whirls around and swipes at her. Carly yelps out in pain, as she recoils her hand, revealing three red scratches already dripping with blood.

"They must be really spooked." Silver observes. Twilight then starts growling as a thick grey-white fog settles into the house.

"What is this stuff?" Carly asks, passing her hand through the fog. A low dog howl sounds out, followed by an animal growl.

"Uh-oh. Those don't sound like freak bags." I say, gripping my ballistic knives tightly.

"Fetch me their souls…!" A large ball of electricity explodes in front of us, spawning a large flaming grey dog. The creature turns to us and tackles Carly without warning. The brown-headed girl lets out a high pitched scream as she's knocked to the ground. Two more screams follow when she sees the canine's paw is bigger than her hand. Twilight is the first one to recover from shock; tackling the dog off the girl before chomping on its neck. The thing explodes in bits of signed fur and a small whine. Patrick helps up Carly as soon as four more lightning balls explode. Four more hounds lurch at us, their yellow eyes gleaming with an evil bloodlust. Silver draws her Commando up and starts shooting one going after her and Kitsune. Twilight looks around, growling as she tries to guess where the next one will appear. Patrick fires his PM-63 at one going after him and I slash at my own devil-doggie, firing a knife at one going for Carly.

More dogs teleport into the house, hungry for our souls along with flesh and blood, eager to serve their demonic master. As I dive down to collect one knife, another dog leaps up high to do a "death from above" take down. As soon as it gets close, I snap my feet at it. The sound of breaking bones tells me if it were alive, I'd have broken its snout if not half the skull. Flipping onto my feet, I draw my Skorpions and shoot John Wayne style as more puppies flash before us. Finally, the last one falls to Patrick's masterkey and the fog lifts. I begin licking my wounds, spitting out the fur with disgust.

"Just what we need. Hell hounds." I say with grimace. "I say we check out the fishing hut and see what we find there, before our hands get full. Carly, you're with me. Silver, Patrick; I need cover fire. Head up to the high grounds and cover us from there." I feel like a general giving out orders to my troops, a position I've shied away from in the past. After a quick salute, they all move to positions. I rush to the gate and kick it open; Skorpion in one hand, ballistic knife in the other. The knife is launched as soon as the first zombie rises from the water. It's then sheathed and replaced with the second Skorpion, both shooting at the one's coming after us. Carly uses her Famas, the dual magazine cutting her reload time in half. Bullets fly as undead fall before our weapons. A crossbow bolt flies to one zombie, exploding in two seconds. More gunfire comes from behind as Patrick provides cover fire with his PM-63.

I don't slow down my rush as I spot the lock on the fishing hut door, in fact I actually speed up my charge. A well placed Judo kick forces the doors off their hinges.

"Losing all my holy dreams, someone tell me what they mean. There's an iron smell of blood in the air, but I can't find it anywhere..." I sing as I shoot at the zombies inside the fishing hut. "I've been waiting for someone to find me... become a part of me...

I've been waiting for you to, come here, kill me and set me free..." Rushing in the hut, I spot a map of the area: the doctor's quarters, storage house, and fishing hut circled red with "Testing labs" across the buildings.

"Fall Back!" I yell out. "We need to move!" Carly turns around and sprints out as zombies start to spill out of the basement, all screaming "Sam." When we get back to the house, I draw the Grim Reaper and launch a rocket at the swarm, then another upon seeing a single legless one. Boo-yah! Overkill. The last rocket in the clip gets used to blow the Fishing hut to kingdom come.

"Patrick! Down here!" I cry to him as I reload the bulky missile launcher. The ballistic knife with the key on it gets loaded into the empty launcher. He leaps down the stairs and rushes over to me.

"There's a secret container by the stairs. Take this key," I hold the four pronged key up to him. "Open the box, and use what's inside there. Hurry!" I shoot the knife at the wall where the container is supposed to be, and then get to work on the zombies swarming from the storage hut. I pass Carly, trying to take out those by the doctor's quarters. My twin SMG's hit their mark, but no matter how many I take out, more seem to be pushing me back.

"I've been waiting for someone to find me and become a part of me...

I've been waiting for you to come here and kill me and set me free...

Oh...

I've been waiting for the one." I sing in an effort to keep my spirits up. A frag grenade gets dropped to the floor as more zombies start swarming.

"Got it!" Patrick cries in triumph. "Ze VunderVaffle DG-2" When he sees me in trouble, he open fires the strange rifle. Electricity shoots out of the gun, chaining off and on the other zombies in my swarm. They stand erect by the static before slumping to the ground. Seeing the power of the rifle, I say the only thing that describes it: "That was Bad Ass!" The Grim Reaper launches another rocket into the storage hut, blowing up another spawning pit.

"Sam. Sam." Behind me, a single meat sack rushes towards me from the stairs. Gunfire sounds from the top as Silver shoots at its head, blowing it clean off.

"Stay dead this time!" She cries, shooting at those behind her. I nod to her before going to blow up the Doc's hut. Carly thanks me before she rushes off to take out other undead. The launcher gets put in its case, the Skorpions replaced in my grip.

"I've been waiting for... Yeah-yeah..." I sing as more fall to my weapons.

"Fresh MEAT!" Patrick manically cries from behind, a boot (with a leg still attached) flies literally over my shoulder. He then turns and fires another electrical chain at the zombies rushing from the stairs, the chain trailing downward.

"I'll wade in your guts maggot sacks!" I taunt as we both rush back down. Carly runs past us, towards the communications array gate. Silver joins us from her perch on the roof as we all see a packed wave of rotting corpses after us. I motion for her to come on, before hitting a switch by the gate. Looking up, a gigantic leaf collector machine starts rotating. The rotting undead brainlessly walk into it, getting flung away as the trap does its job. I rush off to the others.

"We got to destroy this place fast!" I cry out as soon as I reach the Comm room.

"Did that." Patrick appears from behind a computer wall, obviously the one typing in the kill code.

"Thirty seconds until Shi-no-numa termination. Thirty-five until self-destruction." A voice says. Silver and I quickly rush to the tables, swiftly scanning through the documents and papers. We know Patrick didn't mean to activate the self destruct sequence, and we know that we've got to find some way to escape the destruction.

"Twenty, nineteen, eighteen…"

"Sis, Patrick, Carly! Everyone follow me." Silver rushes over to a zip line basket. We all follow her and get into the basket, the countdown still continuing.

"Twelve, eleven…" Silver yanks a switch and we ride the basket to the main building. Silver than leads us to some sort of glowing pad. She frantically types in numbers and letters into the keypad with speed.

"Self destruct in six… five…" The countdown continues. "Teleporter A activated." Silver shoves us all in the circle as we're engulfed in lightning and everything goes dark.


Creepy creepy, dark and eeky. (Wow that was bad)

I know I used lines and parts from Shi No Numa's trailer but I couldn't really think of any sort of plot or lines to say. Anyhow, I've currently got Ascension all typed up and such, but I'm still looking for ideas in Der Riese, Kino, Ascension and ESPECIALLY Call of the Dead. I haven't gotten Call of the Dead written yet so I'd like some ideas from you readers. As always, Review and alert. Anonymous commenting is active.

Luna: It's dark in here.
