AN: With six of the Seven Deadly Warriors dead, David Falcone and his team headed to the final area where the final warrior and the leader, Zetsumei, awaits. But in the middle of their trek towards Zetsumei lair, David finds out, to his upmost horror, that Zetsumei has turned the hoard that he unleashed on the planet Earth on his girlfriend, Alex Russo. Can and will David save her in time?
Chapter Eleven: Seven Ways To Die
Alex was tiredly running up the street, hearing the moans of the zombies as they stumbled along after her. She had absolutely no idea where she was going, but she had to get somewhere safe to get away from these things, whatever they were. She stopped, and looked around briefly. Then she ducked into an alley by a closed down shop. She placed her hands on her knees, and started to breathe in deeply. Just as she was about to move again, a hand grabbed her, and pulled her inside the abandoned shop that she was standing next to. She was about to scream when she saw that it was a familiar brunette.
"Lynn! Thank god it's you!" Alex said, hugging her boyfriend's little sister tightly. Lynn returned the affection, and pulled her down out of view of the front window.
"Thank god you are all right as well, but major shit is going down." Lynn said in a whisper.
"Like what?" Alex asked her back.
"Listen. Big brother, Michael, Yusuke, William, Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara are in a place called the Demon Badlands fighting a group called the Seven Deadly Warriors." Lynn began.
"That's where David went." Alex hissed to herself.
"Well," Lynn began. "The leader Zetsumei has zombified everyone in New York, and they are after you!"
"What? Why me?" Alex asked. Lynn just looked at her friend with a 'duh, you know why' look on her face.
"Zetsumei thinks that if he can preoccupy David with worry about you, and now me because I am helping you, he won't be able to concentrate on his fight with Zetsumei." Lynn said
"What are we going to do? How can we help David?" Alex asked her.
"The only thing we can do is try and stay alive, and hope David can defeat Zetsumei before anything happens to us." Lynn said.
Just as the young girls were about to breath a sigh of relief, there was loud banging on the door across from them. They quickly scrambled to their feet just as the door was knocked off the hinges, and the zombies began to try and get in.
"Let's go!" Lynn screamed, pulling her friend towards the other exit.
"Wait, where are we going?"Alex asked her as the two of them began to run.
"Honestly? I have no idea!" Lynn laughed nervously. The two ran out the front of the abandoned building, and right towards their school, hoping to seek refuge there.
Michael felt something was immediately wrong here. He felt that David and Zetsumei were fighting fiercely, but there powers were even, and that meant that something was going to have to be done to tip the scales in the favor. Too bad that 'something' was already done, and the people that are going to pay were Alex, and David's little sister, Lynn.
As the ReDead wannabees approached, Yusuke looked back at Michael's blank expression, and wondered what was happening.
"You sense something else, don't you?" Yusuke whispered to Michael.
"Yeah," Michael said, his expression not changing. "Lynn is being chased as well for helping Alex try and survive on the streets."
"What! Does David know as well?" Yusuke asked in total disbelief.
"Not yet, but Zetsumei is going to tell him eventually." Michael said.
"These things are getting close, you guys!" Kuwabara yelled.
"Why is he doing that to Alex and Lynn?" Yusuke asked Michael.
"David has an attack that will kill Zetsumei in one hit." Michael began.
"Let me guess, he can't use it unless he has total concentration, and with him David knowing that Lynn and Alex are being hunted, that is not going to happen." Yusuke said with a snort. "Fucking great. Now what are we supposed to do?"
"The only thing we can do. Get inside there and help David. And I know just how to do it." Michael said. He flew into the sky, charged a beam of energy, and shot it at the faceless hoards. They were vaporized in the blast, and a path was cleared to the tower where Zetsumei and David where.
"Path is cleared! Let's move, people!" William yelled at the rest of team.
"Screw this, I know how to get in the tower quickly!" Kuwabara yelled. He began to run at the tower, and made his spirit energy into a javelin, and propelled himself right at the nearest tower window. He came through in his task, if his intent was to slam face first into the wall that is. But since that wasn't his goal, he failed, BADLY.
As Kuwabara slowly slid off of the wall like a drop of water, William looked at Kurama and Hiei.
"Wow, really Kazuma. With everything going on, you do that..." William said, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Yeah, that's the way he tried to get into a building before, and it didn't work then." Kurama stated.
"Well, let's go scrape up what is left of the idiot, and move on." Hiei moaned in anger, as the little demon usually did.
Zetsumei stood there and stared at the young wolf demon before him. He was not expecting an easy fight or to even dominate David, that was for certain, but this little teen was giving him trouble, and the fact that he was already breathing hard while David wasn't even tired was something that meant trouble for Zetsumei. He had to do something, and he already knew what that something was.
"Well, I underestimated you. You are far more powerful than I imagined." Zetsumei said with a smile.
"Happy to disappoint you." David said, still in his defensive stance, knowing that Zetsumei was not going to fight fair.
"I wonder how your girlfriend is fairing..." Zetsumei said. He pointed towards the screen, and David watched in horror as he saw Alex running from a group of zombies, but what really scared him was that someone very familiar was running with her.
"Why, David. Is that your little sister as well?" Zetsumei said with a smile.
AN: Yusuke: Well, now we have another situation that we have to deal with as there is three different fights going on from three different fronts. On one hand, David is fighting Zetsumei while there is a big screen of Alex and Lynn running through an infected New York City. Next, you have us fighting through waves of faceless minions to try and get to David and help him defeat Zetsumei. Finally, we have Alex and Lynn running through an infected New York City to try and survive the hoard that is chasing them intent on killing them. Something has to give, and for damn sure it is going to be soon. Which side is going to pull out a win, that is the question...
