A/N: Some of you reader were shocked about the ending of the last chapter, I am too. But this kind of stuff happens during a world-wide zombie outbreak. The poll is still up for voting and many of the characters are still alive and fighting, for now. We start off the story the next morning after the attack from the dead coming out from the water, which costs the lives of 6 of Alberto's gang and our beloved wolf friend, Matthew AKA, Agent M1911. We will all miss you; you were a great zombie killing sniper.

Previously on Rise of the fighters . . .

"So far that day we lost 7 members of our group, including Matthew, my friend. We didn't expect the dead to come out from the water and attack from below us, nor did we expect a huge creature jumping out and killing Matthew.

Susie was devastated about the lost of her love, yet she was strong and didn't let it hold her down. On the bright side of that, we got two new members of our group, Lake and David. We needed the extra hand around and they happen to come by.

Still. . . . We feel outnumber from 6.1 billion to 29. What were the chances of us making out alive?"

The next morning. . .

A fire pit was burning alongside the shore of the lake near the city of Denver, or what was left of it. But the fire was burning bodies, bodies of the dead that recently attack the united pack the day before. About 34 undead bodies were dragged and thrown into the fire pit, sending out a horrible smell filling the air.

CJ struck down a pick axe into an undead's head, making sure it didn't came back to life. Clark and Lake walked over, both wearing masks from the smell, and carried the body over to the fire pit and threw it in. Luis and Alberto, wearing masks as well, picked up one of their dead gang members and carried it to a row of the other dead group members near the trees.

Humphrey and Kate could only watch as they were getting rid of the dead bodies and putting to rest, themselves. The two looked over to the left to see Susie kneeling over Matthew's lifeless body. She had been there at the exact place all night and hadn't moved. Hager walked up to the two and spoke. "We got to finish him off" Both of them turned to him. "The guy was stabbed through the heart. It won't be long before this girl's lover comes back"

"I've talked to her earlier, she still wouldn't budge." Kate said. Lilly and Garth came from the right of them and Lilly spoke. "We need to tell her that we need to take care of Matthew before he brings danger to this camp." Everyone just stood there, watching her hold his hand and covered in his blood. "I'll tell how it is" Humphrey said as he walked over to Susie.

He came closer to Susie and spoke "Susie, we need to. . ." Humphrey stopped when Susie pulled out a handgun and aimed it at Humphrey before he could finish. "I know what you and the other are thinking. I won't let you get near him" She said, cocking the barrel.

Humphrey stood back up and slowly walked backwards with everyone else, who were taken by surprised from Susie reaction. She put the gun on safety and put it away. "This is insane. That guy is a ticking time bomb. We have to make sure he doesn't come back to life." Garth argued.

"No, for god's sake let her be" Kate said back. Garth turned away, only to see Reba holding a M14 sniper rifle in one hand and a small book in the other. She made her way to Susie, who looked up to see her holding something. "This must be hard for you right now" Reba said, as Susie finally stood up and faced her.

"Matthew spoke to me a couple weeks ago. He told me to tell you that when this time comes, he wanted you to have this." Reba held out the M14 sniper rifle to Susie and she grabbed from her slowly. "And he wanted you to have this as well" Reba held out a small book the size of a journal. Susie took it from her and looked at it.

"Thanks Reba" Susie said letting out a tear and hugging her. She pulled away and put the journal into a bag she had with her the day before. Susie looked at the sniper rifle. The gun had belonged to Matthew during the 2 months they were together. On the spot right above the hand grip and trigger was black marker drawn lines. (This will be explained in the journal chapter later)

That's when she starts to hear low breathing from behind her. She looks at everyone to see them looking at Matthew, including the guys picking up the bodies. She turns around to see Matthew moving and twitching while still on the ground.

Humphrey and Garth pull out their handguns and cock them. "No, Don't!" Susie spoke out to them, making them lower their weapons. She then sees Matthew move to the side and stand up slowly with a low growl. Everyone backs away as 'Matthew' stands there in front of them.

Then undead Matthew lifts his head up and reveals his dark yellow teeth and dark orange eyes. "I'm sorry this has to be this Matthew" Susie said, cocking the M14. Matthew let out a low growling sound. She aimed down through the scope and aimed at Mathew's head. "I love you" she said. Matthew screeched loud and was about to run at them, right when she pulled the trigger and a huge bang noise when out.

Matthew fell to the ground instantly and died, again. Susie let out a single tear and lowered her gun as she made her way back to the camp site. Everyone watched her leave without saying another word.

Several hours later. . .

Hager drove a jeep to a large clearing of the forest with the seven of their group member's bodies in the back. Everyone was waiting at the clearing for Hager to arrive to bury their own people properly.

Humphrey and Garth filled up the holes of each of every one of their people. Carez made crosses out of tree sticks and laid them over the holes of the dead. Everyone stood there in silent while Hager, Carez, Luis, and Alberto did the military solute of fallen marines. They fired four rounds into the air for the fallen group members.

Everyone was about to leave when Susie came out front and kneel down at Matthew's grave. She reached behind her back and pulled out her necklace she worn back in the Jasper city outbreak when they first met. She placed around the cross and gave it a kiss then whispering "I love you. I won't ever forget you" Everyone watched as she stood back up and joined them on their walk back to the camp grounds.

The wind blew quietly through the air as the group left the clearing, with Susie's necklace blowing in the wind on her love, the one she had lost. Now she was going to get them back.

A/N: this is all I got so far guys, but there will be more in the next chapter later on.
