Chapter 11. No more Dead Heroes.
Z-Day 24. 0900 Hrs.
Takashi: It's been a long and tough night for all of us. (Looking at his group.) But we need to look forward there's a brighter day ahead of us. We spoke about this before and Ed told me that the U.S. border is three days away by car.
Ms. Shizuka: So are we heading towards the United States. Isn't it in ruins?
Takashi: Exactly, But I don't know what's in store for us, but with teamwork we can make it through anything.
Saya: And how are we supposed to get there and what if there is no gas or the car breaks down, what then?
Takashi: For the gas we can take it from any car we see, if it breaks down we take another.
Umiko: Takashi does Ed know how to get from here to the U.S.?
Takashi: He went into town to get a map. He said he remembers how to get to El Paso Texas and so forth mom. But he does need help navigating in Mexico. So we will help him by pointing out anything he can't see and by driving when he gets tired. That's where you, Ms. Shizuka and Officer Minami come into play by driving us out of here when he's resting. Also we will need to take care of Mrs. Miyamoto until she is fine to get up and walk.
[Outside.]
Rei: (Looking at the makeshift cross with Inspector Tadashi Miyamoto a loving husband and father written on it.)
Ed: (Walks into the gates and sees Rei next to the grave.) Rei?
Rei: (Wipes a tear from her eye.) Yeah?
Ed: I'm sorry for your loss. He was one hell of an Inspector, a good man and a great father. (Walks towards Rei.)
Rei: Thank you Ed. (Looks back at the grave.) I'm going to miss him so much, he taught me everything... Even though he was strict at times but he did it to shape me into a better person. I wish he was still here... (Begins to cry again.) I... need him... me and my mom both need him...
Ed: He saved Takashi from death, he's a true hero. He might be gone but he will never be forgotten.
Rei: My mom and I both knew he will risk his life for another... and he saved Takashi... he saved the one person I love...
Ed: (Looking at the grave.) I'm sorry Rei but we should get ready, we're gona leave soon.
Rei: Can I have a moment by myself Ed?
Ed: Of course Rei. (Places a cross and a rose on the grave. Ed walks inside the house as Mrs. Miyamoto is being helped towards Rei by Takashi.)
Yuuki: (Looks at Ed as he walks in.) Hey did you find the map?
Ed: Yeah I did. I also saw some of the men and their families return from the city. For them everything is back to normal.
Yuuki: That's good to hear that the narcos are done for and that the people are back together. You better get some rest Edward-kun we can handle the packing you three gave it hell when you came to rescue us.
Ed: (Looks at the couch.) I'll sleep on the couch. Wake me if you need me. (Ed heads towards the couch and starts to fall asleep.)
Yuuki: Hey Ed-kun?
Ed: Yeah?
Yuuki: I hope you don't mind me calling you kun.
Ed: (Looks at Yuuki.) No why?
Yuuki: (Blushes.) No reason. (Walks away as Ed closes his eyes.)
[Ed's dream.]
Z-Day 1.
Jordan: Chris are we heading towards Jack in the Box?
Chris: Do you think Christina is their?
Jordan: She worked today. She should still be their.
Dan: Then we got to move. If it's this bad out here who knows how bad it is at that joint.
Chris: Move it guys every minute counts!
[The four run towards Ed's car.]
Ed: Buckle up guys (Starts the car and heads towards Jack in the Box.)
Chris: Load up guys there can be trouble waiting for us at any corner.
Ed: (Slams on the brakes.) Fuck! When you're right you're right Chris.
[A man aims his pistol at the car.]
Man: Get out of the car and give it to me!
Jordan: (Opens the door.) *POP. Get out of our way!
Man: (Grabbing his right shoulder he runs out of the way.)
Ed: Damn nice shot!
Chris: Punch it man!
[The four make it to the four way intersection that connects to the main road.]
Dan: Fuck theirs to many people leaving Dixon!
Chris: Ed park the car in one of the neighborhoods and leave it there we'll walk from here.
[The four run towards the restaurant but find zombies and crazed people all around them, as they run someone takes their car.]
Ed: (Looks back.) AAW! C'mon!
Chris: Forget the car Ed! *BIFF! (Someone punches him.)
Person: Get out of my way or I'll kick your ass!
Jordan: (Picks Chris up.) Shoot anyone that tries to attack you guys!
Ed: No, avoid any contact unless you need to engage!
Dan: Watch out! * BAM! (Shoots one of the Zombies near Ed.)
Chris: Theirs the restaurant it's being surrounded by zombies!
Jordan: The side door!
Ed: Head towards it and save anyone inside!
[The four run towards the side door.]
Chris: Theirs people inside they need help.
Ed: I'll go first!
*FWAP! CRACK! SPLEART! (A bloodied bat is shown dripping blood and a body is laying on the grass.)
[Ed is woken up by Saeko.]
Ed: (Wakes up in a jolt.) Huh!? (Looks at Saeko.)
Saeko: Ed are you ok!? You were sweating a lot.
Ed: I had a... never mind I'm fine. Just a bad dream.
Saeko: (Sits next to Ed as he sits up.) We're done packing our things we left your stuff by the door anything that you want to take other than your clothes and guns?
Ed: No, I think that's it.
Kohta: (Walks into the living room.) Ed, I took the remaining ammo from the armoury and loaded it onto the van. I also put the shotguns and pistols as well.
Ed: Thanks.
Takashi: Ok guys let's go Ed you drive until dark after that find a place to stop and rest.
Ed: I can go for a long time as long as I keep talking to someone.
Saeko: I'll keep you company while you drive while the rest of you can sleep.
Takashi: That's fine but we need to leave now before anything else happens. Let's get into the van and leave all these bad memories behind us. And start fresh.
Rei: (Looks at Mr. Miyamoto's grave.) Goodbye Dad. (Gets on the van and sits next to Takashi.)
[The group loads up and is the outskirts of Michoacan.]
Ed: Alright from here we head Northeast towards Guanajuato Leon, We will continue until we reach Zacatecas. Torreon is up North after their is Chihuahua. Then it's El Paso ,Texas.
Minami: So were from their?
Ed: We head towards the west coast. I hope you all have your green cards.
[Everyone laughs.]
Takashi: Alright guys, We all know how the American's don't like it when illegals get into their country without the green card, so the excuse is we left them in our other pairs of pants then we run for the other side ok?
Ed: But señor, I work really good back in Mexico. I'm one Hell of a worker. HAHA!
[Everyone laughs.]
Minami: Heheh. Aren't you Mexican dumb ass?
Ed: Its a show, Just being funny. I have to laugh at my self every once in a while.
1923 hrs. Guanajuato, León México.
Ed: Anyone need to use the bathroom? (Looking at the rear view mirror.)
Alice: I do, I really need to go!
Ed: OK the next exit will be our pit stop.
Saeko: You might as well put gas too.
[Ed stops the Van and gets off.]
Takashi: Everyone stretch and use the time to relieve your selves. (Looks around the area.)
Kohta: Don't need to tell me twice! (Runs past Alice and Saya.) Don't come back here!
Saya: Careful fatty their could be dangerous animals out their.
Kohta: I'll be careful! (Goes behind a building.) Ahhhhhh! Oh man that feels good.
Takashi: (Looks inside the van.) Hey Rei?
Rei: Yeah?
Takashi: I just wanted to know if you're fine.
Rei: I'm fine Takashi, after what you told me and what you promised me and my dad. (Leans in closer to Takashi.) I know you will keep that promise. (Gives Takashi a kiss.)
Saeko: Komuro can... (Sees Rei and Takashi and looks a bit dissappointed.) Sorry I.
Takashi: Saeko, what is it?
Saeko: Ed needs to get gas from a car but the closest one is nearly a kilometer back and then there's the gas station ahead of us which is 3 kilometers ahead.
Takshi: We might as well head towards the gas station. That car might be low on fuel and it be pointless to turn back only to be disappointed.
Saeko: I'll tell him. (Turns around and walks away.)
Rei: That was a bit a awkward.
Takashi: (Looks at Saeko as she walks towards Ed.) Yeah.
Z-Day 25. 0315 hrs.
Torreon, Coahuila Mexico.
[Everyone but Saeko and Ed are asleep.]
Saeko: Ed...(Yawns.) Are we near any city?
Ed: Were just entering the city of Torreon, from here we have around 6 hours. If you want go ahead and sleep you can.
Saeko: *Yawn. Pretty accurate timing are you sure?
Ed: (Looks at Saeko as she looks tired.) You look tired you should sleep as well.
Saeko: OK. If you don't mind I'm really tired.
Ed: Go for it we need everyone to be at their best just incase.
Saeko: Ok... wake me up if anything happens.
[3 hours pass and Saya wakes up to here singing.]
Ed: (Taping on the steering wheel.)
Don't turn away
I pray you've heard
The words I've spoken
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll let the
Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own
Saya: (Pokes at Ed's shoulder.) Well well, so you're a hit man that can sing?
Ed: Fuckin' (Looks at Saya.) Shit you scared me... don't do that again.
Saya: You're pretty good at singing.
Yuuki: (Wakes up.) Who was singing? Is that Ed-kun?
Saya: Uhm. Yeah.
Ed: Thanks it keeps me awake on long drives like this by keeping my mind on something else.
Saya: What song was it?
Ed: Darkness. My favorite band sings it.
Alice: (Rubbing her eyes.) What's going on, Takagi-san?
Saya: Ed is Alice. (Picking up Zeke and putting him on her lap.)
Zeke: (Curls up in Saya's arms and falls back asleep.)
Alice: He has a beautiful voice.
Yuuki: He sure does Alice-chan. My Ed-kun sure does.
Ed: Thanks. I'll stop so y'all can go back to sleep.
Saya: Hey, don't stop keep going I like your voice for once. And you're singing is quite soothing, please keep going.
Saeko: (Slowly wakes up to hear Ed singing.)
Ed: (Sings in a more soothing tone.)
Carry me away
I need your strength
To get me through this
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll let the
Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own On my own On my own...
Saeko: (Looks at the window and stairs into the distance and whispers.) Komuro… Ed… I don't know how to feel about both of you… I don't know if I should tell you Komuro.
Ed: (Continues to sing.)
Carry me away
I need your strength
To get me through this
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll let the
Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own On my own...
1600 hrs El Paso Texas United States Border U.S.A.
Takashi: Is that it? (Looking thru a pair of binoculars.) I think that's the border.
Minami: (Looking thru the SR25 scope.) Looks like it, Shizuka wake up Ed he slept long enough I'm tired of driving.
Ms. Marikawa: Sure thing Rika. (Walks into the van and nudges at Ed.) Wake up my little soldier boy we need you to wake up. (Ed turns towards the window and continues to sleep.) Huh? He won't wake up.
Saya: Move it, I got this. (Opens the door and Ed falls out.) *CLAAAANK! THWOMP!
Ed: *THUD! (falls and looks up at Saya and Ms. Shizuka.) That was unnecessary you know Takagi?
Saya: (Looking down at Ed and crossing her arms.) Well, you should've woken up the first time Otaku.
Yuuki: (Kneels down next to Ed to help him up.) That might of been to rough for Ed-kun.
Ed: (Yuuki helps him up and dusts himself off.) So where's the fire, who's hurt?
Minami: There's no fire and no one's hurt, just look at this. (Handing him the SR25.) Is that the border? If it is we have a problem.
Ed: (Looks thru the rifle scope.) Shit, Thats alot of Them near the gates.
Takashi: Any ideas on how to get thru Them?
Rei: Isn't there a second entrance?
Ed: Not until we reach the main entrance further away, or head towards Arizona or Cali. (Looks around the area and he finds a Mexican military outpost.) Officer Minami by any chance do you know how to pilot a chopper?
Minami: I did take a few lessons from the J.S.D.F. on the blackhawks they have I'm a little rusty though.
Ed: Well we're going to need you to take us over the border that way. (Giving Minami back the SR25.) I found a university with some blackhawks still on the ground, if we can take one we can get over the border and maybe make it towards Tucson Arizona if the gas tank is full. I know those blackhawks can travel a good distance and the closest military base that I know of is Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.
Minami: If it's full we can, but getting there is a whole different story. Thats a university which is crawling with Them, and we don't exactly know if the streets aren't the same way or way worse.
Takashi: Isn't there any bases near Texas?
Ed: Don't know of anyone that's close to the border, the closest one is Lackland AFB that's 7 hours away tho, maybe a map would help but this one (Takes out the map.) doesn't say, but the makeshift base is in a university. Uhh it's called UACJ campus.
Saya: Well getting their isn't going to be a walk in the park, They would surely surround us if we make a noise.
Kohta: Komuro, (Looking at a nearby housing building.) What if me and Ed go up there and snipe Them. The gun fire would attract Them to our location while you guys get towards the blackhawk. As soon as you guys get inside safely you can pick us up.
Rei: (Lifting up Mrs. Miyamoto.) That's dangerous what if they get inside and attack you guys when you're firing?
Saeko: I'll go with them, I can cover them while they shoot if they do get inside.
Mrs. Miyamoto: That's a good Idea Miss. Busujima covering the boys will help a lot. Rei I can walk thank you.
Rei: Ok mom just let me know if you need help.
Yuuki: I'll go with you guys too.
Ed: Yuuki no offense but it might be better if you went with the rest. It will be safer that way.
Yuuki: (Looks surprised at Ed's comment.) Oh, ok Ed-kun.
Takashi: Saeko you cover them while they shoot, Officer Minami and Saya will pilot the Helicopter.
Saya: Hey! I don't know how to pilot that thing!
Ms. Shizuka: Don't worry Saya. Rika can show you how and help you along the way.
Minami: Like I said I'm rusty Shizuka.
Ed: I thought you were the smartest person here Saya?
Saya: Hell yeah I am! Alright I'll do it!
Minami: Well, we better move it. More of Them are surrounding the area.
Takashi: Hirano, Saeko and Ed get moving, once you two start shooting we move towards the helicopter.
Minami: Mrs. Komuro can Ed use your rifle? He can use the range it has.
Umiko: (Hands Ed the Remington 700.) Don't scratch it ok soldier boy?
Ed: I'll make sure I don't Ma'am. (Receiving the Remington 700 from Umiko.)
Umiko: You do know how to use it right?
Ed: It's a bolt action Remington 700 used by the U.S Military and hunters I know a thing or two ma'am.
Kohta: Let's move Ed and Saeko. Once were on top of the roof Komuro keep an ear out and listen for the gunshots, then drive as far as you guys can near the chopper.
Yuuki: Please be careful guys.
Takashi: The rest of us will go once there's little of Them left in the area!
[Kohta, Saeko and Ed move towards a housing building.]
Takashi: OK, once they attract a large amount of Them, we drive towards the helicopters and then pick them up and head to a safe location maybe Ed knows of a safe place.
Rei: Maybe Ed can take us towards California to his house we should be fine their.
Umiko: Takashi this campus is a fenced off campus, we would need to ram the gates and drive fast towards the helicopter.
Mrs. Miyamoto: Beats walking Umiko.
Minami: Well if fast is what you want I can deliver. Everyone inside the van we will wait for the the dead to head towards the gunfire that's about to happen by Hirano and Ed.
Yuuki: What if they don't cause a loud enough distraction?
Rei: Knowing Ed and Hirano they will. *CLAAAANK! (Opening the door to the van.)
[Kohta, Saeko and Ed all arrive at the first building.]
Ed: I'll go first, Then Saeko followed by Hirano.
Saeko: Got it.
Kohta: Got it.
Ed: (Opens the door and walks inside.) Hirano use your pistol inside. To small of an area for the rifle.
Kohta: (Reaches for his bag and looks for the Luger.) Crap I forgot it in the van!
Ed: Well you need a pistol.
Saeko: (Reaching for her Beretta) Take mine. (Hands it to Kohta and notices a zombie approaches Ed.) Watch it Ed!
Ed: (Looks back and grabs the zombie by the head and slams its head on the wall.) *FWAAP! CRACK! Tango down. Let head up stairs.
[They breach the building and head upstairs.]
Minami: OK, they're up on the roof.
Ms. Shizuka: Everyone buckle up.
Mrs. Miyamoto: Alice stay close with me once we get down ok?
Alice: OK.
[On the roof.]
Kohta: OK we got a clear view of the field and the base if we take out the ones inside the base the rest would hear the shoots and head towards us.
Ed: Hey Hirano, wanna make a bet? (preps the R700.) *Click. Sprong. Click. (Unfolds the bipod.)
Kohta: What kind of bet? *Clonk clank. (checks the mag.)
Ed: Let's see who can rack up the most kills (aims down the scope.) while we're up here. You now know a little fun?
Kohta: (Looks down the scope.) You're on! You better hope you brought your A game. If I win you owe me some new ammo.
Ed: If I win you have to let me shoot that Luger you carry around.
Kohta: You heard the bet right Miss Busujima?
Saeko: I heard it Hirano I'll make sure you both keep your promises. (Covers her ears as Ed and Hirano both target some zombies.)
[They both begin to fire at the zombies.]
*Krack! Baaam! Blam! Kraack!
Saya: OK Officer Minami, they started shootin' when should we go?
Umiko: Wait until they all walk towards the building and there's a big enough gap for us to drive thru with no problem.
*Kablam! Sh-chank. Krack! Krack! Sh-chank. KRACK!
Saeko: Keep it up guys they're all heading this way!
Kohta: *Blam! C'mon keep up Ed! I got five of Them!
Ed: (Lines up a shot.) Really?! *Krack! Sh-chank. Clink clink clonk. (Shoots two zombies with one bullet.) Double Kill! *Ka-Crank Ka-Clink! Sh-chank.
*BAAM! Krack! Snaap!
Yuuki: (Looks outside her side window.) OK! They got a good amount of Them near the building!
Minami: Hold on to somethin'! (Starts the van and floors it.) *SCKREEEEEEEECH!
[The van is seen going thru the hoard of Zombies and reaches the gates.]
*Thump! Thud! CRACK! Thump! SPLAT!
Minami: I'm goin' to ram it thru! (Rams the front gates and heads towards the base.)*KA-THUMP! Everyone get your stuff and head towards the chopper! Rei and Mrs. Komuro grab Mrs. Miyamoto and let's go!
[Everyone gets off and grabs all the supplies they can from the van.]
Kohta: (Looks on as the van breaks thru the gates.) They're inside. (Gets up from the prone position.) Now we wait for them.
Saeko: Ed, were you serious about being a hitman?
Ed: Well, To be honest I only killed three people as a sicario and was going for my fourth but I couldn't go thru with the job. I came to my senses the last minute. But that doesn't mean I only got three kills like I told Takagi back in Japan. I've killed many men but they were orders of Mr. Castellanos or they did wrong. In total I racked up a good thirty men including a wife and son.
Saeko: (Looks at Ed as his face turns into a more serious one.) Ed let's not talk about what you did in your past back in your town.
Kohta: Ed I don't mean to be pushy, but why only three when you were a hit man why didn't you go on to kill the fourth, was it to dangerous?
Ed: Well no, the first job was easy. A woman contacted me to pay a visit to her husband who was on business in Washington. Well he was on a business with another woman so I followed him towards his apartment and took him out while he sat in the car. The second was somewhat the same but this was a corrupt politician who had some very dark secrets and the captain of the police knew them secrets. So the politician targeted the police captain by contracting people to loot and destroy the police station which in place took half of the evidence on the politician.
Saeko: So where do you come into play with the police?
Ed: The captain was a target for assassination, so he hired me to take care of the politician, and in the same manner I found the politician dining with his family and some of his employees. With the help of the captain I acquired a rifle and a suppressor. And, well let's just say the corrupt man was done for.
Kohta: And the captain? I'm sure he got arrested or at least fired for hiring you right?
Ed: Well In the U.S. there's a good 98% which are good cops but the 2% are bad which give the rest a bad name. He came to me in secret of course he feared for his safety and he's family's. He's a good guy, but only did what he did out of fear. And I don't keep up with what happens after the deliveries I do. He assured me that I wouldn't have any problem with the officers under his command so I guess nothing happened.
Hirano: What about the other people who did wrong?
Ed: My first kill was back when I was turning 17 in my hometown.
Saeko: I don't understand, Self defence?
Ed: You see, (Looks down.) I killed my enemy out of anger and revenge.
Kohta: What?! (Looks at Ed.) But why?
Ed: I killed him because of what he did to a friend of mine. He was my bully, his name was William Cortez. Him and his girlfriend bullied my friend for going to prom with me, after all the torment, she gave in and committed suicide the same night as prom. I saw her take her life right in front of me I couldn't handle it so I killed him, I somehow wasn't on the police's radar nor did my parents suspect I did it since I was so kind hearted but my nightmare begins. After a while William's girlfriend grew suspicious and so did his parents. Out of fear my parents sent me to Mexico for a while and that's where the story of me being a bodyguard starts.
Kohta: How did you (Putting his thumb on his neck and sliding over his neck.) finish William?
Ed: I don't talk about it, It still haunts me just thinking about it. (Putting his hand on his forehead.) I regret ever doing it. I still get haunted by it to this day. Their isn't a single day or night I don't think about putting a gun in my mouth and blowing my brains out.
Saeko: (Walks towards Ed and hugs him.) It's going to be fine Ed just remember it's all in your past. And try to focus on the present and future. If you need to talk about it we're all here for you.
[Inside a makeshift building.]
Takashi: (Leans on the building door.) Officer Minami can you take lead? I'll be right behind you followed by the rest.
Minami: Got it (Takes out her rifle.) Keep your eyes and ears open. Who knows if any of Them are inside.
[They make their way inside and the hear a man talking to himself.]
Alice: It's dark in here. (Holding Zeke tightly.)
Mrs. Miyamoto: (Listening to a faint voice.) Shhhh. Listen. Do you guys here that?
[The group walk closer to the faint voice.]
Marine: (Holding a pistol to his head.) I did them a favor. *Sobbing. I helped them... Oh God the screaming! NO! *Sobbing. They were everywhere! They they started to eat them! I...I shot them! I Killed them *Sobbing. I'm a Murderer! I didn't… I did them a favor.
Takashi: (Whispers.) Shhhh. I hear someone in that room.
Ms. Shizuka: Hold my hand Alice. (Grabbing Alice's hand.)
Alice: Who's that making noise?
Minami: (Whispers.) Hold up (Looks into the room and sees a marine near a wall.) Try to sneak by him one at a time. He's gone crazy.
Takashi: (Whispers.) I'll go first. (He slowly walks by the marine.) Yuuki you're up. Go quietly don't make to much noise. Bring Alice and Zeke with you.
Yuuki: (Nods at Takashi.) C'mon Alice-chan.
Mrs. Miyamoto: (Whispers.) Careful Yuuki.
Saya: (Whispers.) Slowly ok? Stay quiet Alice.
Yuuki: (Walks slowly but bumps into a table and whispers.) Shit!
Marine: Who's their! (Looks at Yuuki.) No Step back! Get away you freak I'll kill you first!
Umiko: Run!
Marine: NOOOO! (Shoots at Yuuki.) Get Away from me! (Shoots multiple times at Yuuki.) I'll kill you! (He hits her in the lower leg.)
Yuuki: (Falls onto the floor and hugs Alice to protect her fomr the incoming bullets.) Ahhh! STOP WE'RE NOT INFECTED!
Minami: Yuuki! *Whiz (A bullet whizzes by her head.) Hold your fire Soldier! Were not infected!
Takashi: Were not infe... *CRACK! SRAAK! (Another shot is heard.) STOP!
Rei: Get behind the wall Takashi!
Mrs. Miyamoto: Rei don't move he might hit you!
Umiko: Don't stick your head out Takashi!
Yuuki: (Slowly Extends her arm towards Takashi.) Help us Komuro! (Extends her arm.)
[Outside.]
*Muffled krack! pop! pop!
Kohta: You hear all that gunfire?
Saeko: Maybe Komuro and the rest ran into some of Them inside that building. (Looking at the building.)
Ed: (Looks at the building.) Don't worry they can handle a few of them. The rest are outside over here with us... HUH!?
Kohta: (Looks down the scope.) Ed Their heading towards the building the gun fire is attracting Them! (Loads a mag into the SR25.) Get back to your rifle and get ready to fire!
[Inside.]
Marine: I didn't sign up for this *POP. I didn't want to fight the dead! It was bad enough to fight terrorists but the dead! The voices! *Sobbing. I can hear the voices! Their talking to me! The LT. The Sergeant they're gone, get it! Gone! I should... I should end it all right after I kill you all! (Shoots again at Yuuki and at Minami.) I won't turn into a flesh eating freak! *Sobbing Baby I'm coming home... I... need to take...
Saya: Crawl towards Komuro!
Alice: (Crying.) Komuro-san!
Yuuki: Help us! (Trying to reach for Takashi.) Help.
*POP SPLAAAT! Cling clang clang.
Rei: Yuuki!
[Yuuki is shot by the marine she lays on the floor tightly holding on to Alice and Zeke.]
Marine: *Click. No this can't be it I... There's more of those freaks! I'm out of ammo... (Takes out a photo.) Baby! I'm coming home! (Takes out a bullet and puts it in the gun.) *Ka-chink. God please forgive me! Please forgive me! (Puts the gun to his head.) I'm sorry! PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR I'M A SINNER!
Takashi: (Looks at the Marine.) Don't do it!
Marine: (Muffled scream.) AAAAAAAH!
*BLAAM! SPLIIIIAAAARRRTTT!
Rei: (Runs up to Yuuki.) Yuuki! Are you (Turns Yuuki over.) Stay with us Yuuki! (Yuuki releases Alice and Zeke.)
Yuuki: Rei… Tell Ed-kun, I'm sorry for killing his friend. *Cough. (Yuuki coughs up blood.) I tried to get close to him but I couldn't… (Looks at Rei with no sign of life.)
Alice: (Crying.) Yuuki-san?
Saya: (Grabs hold of Alice and begins to cry.) Yuuki, no. (Looks down and a tear falls.) Thank you for saving my Alice-chan.
[Ms. Shizuka runs up to Yuuki and searches for a pulse.]
Umiko: *Ka-ssssshhhhk. (Kicks the pistol away and aims her rifle at the Marine.) He's a dead.
Ms. Shizuka: Rei she's gone. (Lowers her hand.)
Rei: (Lowers Yuuki's hand on top of her chest.) Yuuki's gone.
Minami: *THWOMP! (Punches the wall.) Damn it! (Looks to her side and sees zombies at the door.) Fuck more of those thing are at the door.
Saya: (Grabs a tarp and walks over to Yuuki's body.) *Sniff. Rei help me.
Rei: (Nods and stands up.) How do we tell Ed?
Takashi: I don't know. (Walks up towards the Marine's body.) What could have this soldier seen? (Looks around to see bodies on the floor of other Marines, men women and children.) Damn, he had to witness the deaths of all these people.
Radio: FOB Alpha. You need to evac now the AC-130. *Static
Takashi: (Looks around.) What? (Picks up the Damaged radio.) What did.
Rei: Takashi We need to go. Mom can you run?
Mrs. Miyamoto: No the stitches might come undone if I do.
Minami: (Grabs and lifts Mrs. Miyamoto onto her back.) I'll carry you Ma'am. Let's go before those things break inside!
[Outside.]
Ed: * CRACK! Shh-chank. I only have 12 rounds left. Where are they!?
Saeko: Why are they taking so long!?
