Tiger: Sixteen character. Ten chapter. Six months. One writer. Zero Chill. I want to take this time to thank you all for your support on this because I didn't think it would get this far. And believe me, there were time I wanted to give up but this is not a time to think about myself; it's a time to think about all of you. Those of you who were there on day one until now. So, it saddens me to say that chapter thirteen would be the final chapter. But do not worry, there will be epiloges talking about their future lives and how they adjust to it. Also, my family will be here for the final chapter which means you guys get to see king and queen Masters. Okay, enough rambling, time for the story.


The sun was now high enough to wake the rest of the group up. Everyone stretched and yawned as Alice began to cook some of the food they had. The group began to eat shortly after before Keiji noticed something off.

"Hey, where's that Iron Fist guy?" Everyone looked around and saw the obvious fact that Willow was gone.

"Okay, so that guy is gone; it not like it's the end of life as we know it," Henrik said.

"I agree," Shane replied, "I doesn't matter if there's one only missing as long as we have the larger numbers." Everyone was thinking about and Shane had made a good point; they need to stay together and if Willow wanted to go on his own then that's his funeral. Soon, everyone began to mutter amongst themselves before Thomas spoke up.

"Okay, Willow may not be the friendliest of people but he's still one of use because right now I don't see four kingdoms; I see one group of humans who wants to survive. And I know some of us has had own problems with other kingdoms but right now we need to work together and find Willow and do what no one else as done, leave." The group was soundly stunned at the notion. People have thought about leaving this zombie wasteland but there was nowhere they could go with zombies being there.

"Are you insane," Shane yelled, "Don't you think people have tried that! It's impossible!."

"Maybe for one kingdom," Maureen jumped in, "but if we combine our skills we'll able to find somewhere to live in peace." Now there were two opinions in front of them; screw Willow and leave or get him and leave together.

Meanwhile, Jocelyn was running as fast as she could with Willow on her back. Willow was killing zombies and shaking a few off as they jumped onto him. The two were unstoppable as they neared a large steel tomb came into view. Willow hopped off Jocelyn as he opened the door, allowing both him and Jocelyn to enter, before closing and locking it. Inside was graves at lined the left and right sides of the room with a single coffin standing on a pedestal. Willow and Jocelyn lowered their heads as the walked to the center coffin. Willow placed a hand on the top and ran it over before speaking.

"Hey...mom."

Back with the rest of the group, everyone had came to the came to the conclusion that they would split into two groups; one is to find safe place to live while the other is to find Willow. The first group consisted of Cora, Henrik, Dan, Keiji, Elena,Jalen and Raina. The others group was made up of Callie, Nickolas, Ryder, Viviana, Alice, Shane, Thomas and surprisingly Maureen. Viviana mounted her timber wolf along with Alice and Maureen as Ryder mounted his jaguar with Thomas and Callie and finally Nickolas rode his grizzly bear with Shane.

"Okay,we're gonna find Willow; dead or alive," Viviana said.

"Preferably alive," Maureen piped up.

"Yeah, Maureen doesn't want to bury her boyfriend," Callie teased. Maureen gave a death glare at her fellow Cognitio member before regaining her composure.

"As I was saying," Viviana said, "While we go searching for Willow, you guys look at through the map archives and find a safe area. Got it?"

"Y-Yes ma'am," Jalen said timidly.

"Alright, let's go." The recovery group set off to find Willow as the map from headed to the archives.

The map group walked in silence as they sneaked passed zombies but Jalen was getting a bit nervous as they got closer to their destination. Cora placed a hand on his back to calm him down which helped a bit as they reached the archives and locked it. Raina took out an arm full of maps and laid them on a nearby table.

"Come on guys, we don't have a lot of time and so we need to work fast," Raina said. Everyone agreed as they began to look at the map.

With the other group, they were just outside the kingdom broken walls; forming ideas as to where Willow may be.

"Maybe he went back home," Ryder said as he tweaked his laser RGP.

"No, he has no motive to go back," Viviana stated.

"He had no reason to leave in the first place."

"Let's think about it," Thomas said, "Where would someone like Willow go without telling anyone." The group pondered the thought before Nickolas had an idea.

"The Tomb of the Fallen Creeds." Ryder and Viviana knew exactly what that was but it was a complete blank to the others. Everyone mounted up and began to head towards the tomb.

"What exactly is this tomb," Callie asked trying to stay on the Jaguar. Viviana began to explain that it is the official burial ground for Creeds who've provided themselves in battle. Most of the Creeds that were in the tomb came from the tragic event of the massacre while those who were deemed weak were buried in shallow graves; the only thing that awaited a cowardly Creed. As they neared the tomb, they found over a dozen zombies pounding on the structure as if they were trying to get something inside. Ryder hopped off and ready his RPG but Maureen stopped him.

"Are you crazy, if you shoot that you'll kill Willow!" Ryder thought about it for a moment before aiming his shot a bit to the right causing an explosion that distracted the horde. Some zombies stayed and tried to get in while the others looked around for the source. Everyone dived behind a cluster of rock as the contemplated their plan of attack.

Meanwhile, the map team had searched through a few maps but after cross-checking them with the others, it turned out that the land was infected.

"This is pointless," Dan said annoyed, "the only places that are safe are the kingdoms."

"I think Dan's right," Cora agreed, "this land is completely infected. it would take a miracle to find a safe haven." Jalen was about to agree but then got an idea. He walked into the back of the archives and took a bundle of maps, some of which fell to the floor as he walked.

"Maybe the land is infected but what about an island." The group had the same look of realization as they looked that the maps of the sea. It did take long for them to find an island a good ten miles off the coast of the Redneck kingdom.

"Great but how do we get there," Elena asked.

"There are docks in the kingdom and they're fishing boat. If we get one of those boats we'll be able to fish and get to the island," Henrik said.

"Sounds like a plan," Elena said, "grabbed the map and let's get out of here." Jalen grabbed the map and as the team was about to leave they heard something rip behind them. Raina and Keiji look behind them and saw a very grim sight. In front of them was a large zombie wear armor that made him look like a shogun warrior. The group turned to see their new foe as they got ready for a fight.

Back with the Willow, he had few tears streaming down one side of his face as blood ran down the other. His face the laid on the casket as Jocelyn tried to comfort him. It was like this before he remember what his mother was like. She was a strong young woman that always protected him but these facts only sadden Willow for not being able to protect her. Soon, Willow began to hear yelling and explosions outside. He rushed to open the door to see his allies fight a good amount of zombies and doing a good job of it. But even though they were winning, a flash of anger filled Willow. He then began to hear the words from his past.

"Worthless. Useless. Disgrace. Filth." Out of those words only one stood out, "Love." He remembered his mother would always say "I love you my son because you're just like me." With those fresh in his mind, Willow sprung into action as he threw his knife at a zombie's head before ripping its are off and beating him with them. Willow then got back his knife and went on a rampage involving of killing anything that was moving.

Back with the map team they had hard time dealing with the shogun zombie as he was much stronger than he appeared to be. Raina wrapped her whip around the leg of the zombie but the mighty foe yanked the whip and tried to bite Raina as she go closer. Jalen took out Elena hairstick and threw it at the whip; cutting it and freeing Raina from her fate. Keiji found and oil lamp and got a wicked idea. He emptied out the oil onto his katanas before lighting them on fire.

"Hey, shogun," Keiji yelled getting the the zombie's attention, "care to dance?" Keiji began to attack the large shogun but none of them hit. The Shogun backhanded Keiji but the Purest Sin knight landed on his feet uninjured. "Damnit, I thought I had him." Raina noticed the flaming blade and pulled out a can of hairspray with a grin on her face.

"Keiji , throw one of your swords at it," Raina yelled. Keiji had no idea what was going on inside Raina's head but he followed her words and threw his katana like a javelin. The katana went through the shogun's face causing the mighty zombie to cry out in pain and fall to his knees. The shogun tried to get back up but Raina used her hairspray causing the flames on the katana to combust and set the entire head of the shogun on fire. Their large opponent a fell with a thudded as the group gather around the corpse.

"Good thinking you two," Cora congratulated Raina and Keiji.

"Why do you carry hairspray," Henrik asked.

"Being the servant of Maureen, you need to keep a lot of things on hand and hairspray is one of them." They shrugged off the statement and made their way out the kingdom with map in hand.

Meanwhile, the battle with the first group had ended but Willow continued to stab one of the already lifeless bodies. The Others began to worry as he had be doing this for ten minutes. Maureen had enough of this and walked over to Willow to talk him out of this state. She extended her but Willow had turned his knife to Maureen and cut her face. The princess began to tear up but this sight got to Willow and caused him to drop his knife.

"Maureen, I'm sorry," Willow apologize. "I-I don't know what came over-" Willow was interrupted by Maureen slapping him.

"That's for cutting me," she said on the verge of tears. She then slapped him but a little harder, "and that's for leaving us without telling." Willow rubbed his now sore cheek but was stopped when Maureen kissed him to the surprise of everyone except Callie. The two pulled away as Willow was both stunned and curious.

"What was that for?"

"Do you really need a reason?"

"I guess not." The two got up and regrouped with the other with Thomas with a sly grin on his face. "So, why were you guys here in the first place?"

"We came looking for you," Shane answered.

"We came up with the plan to find a safe haven to live," Ryder added. "Also, what were you doing here? You know, besides visiting your parents." Willow looked back at the tomb with a small smile on his face.

"I just need closure, that's all. Come on we should meet back with the others." Willow and Maureen rode on Jocelyn as everyone else got on their original and made their way to the others.

Tiger: Yep, Willow and Maureen is canon now and a shogun was defeated. You're probably think what can top that. Well, because I love you all, here a rough draft sneak peek at the final battle.

sneak peek:

Group head towards the Redneck Kingdom as they decided to walk side by side. Some were getting tired as others weren't breaking a sweat. As the climbed over a large hill they were met with a terrifying sight; one of the largest horse of zombies they had ever faced.

"No way," Keiji said as his face turned pale. The most of the group was tired from the long walk as they now had to fight to get to their destination.

"There has to be at least a thousand of them waiting for something to eat," Cora spoke up.

"Yeah," Shane said gripping his war hammer, "will I hope they're hungry for an ass kicking."

"Now you're speaking my language," Ryder said ready for a fight. Soon, some were in a good enough condition to fight as they cracked their knuckles and drew their weapons.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen," Willow said with his rocket launcher in his hand and his bandanna covering his mouth, "show time."


Tiger: And now for your reviews


Review Replies:

Shane Wright-

I understand. Have you seen my update schedule, I'm lucky if I update once a month. I guess we're just busy people in a busy world.

Rexlerod-

There, there Rex. You should feel bad. You saw your mistake and tried to correct it. I'm the one to blame for updating at my current speed. And I did NOT kidnap Elsa; you nor the dimensional police can prove I did that.

Fairiesandtails-

Well that goes to show you how the most hated character can be loved. No seriously. the amount of review I got for how much they dislike Maureen was unbelievable. And again, I grew up on RPG games so lines like "A mother's love is the most strongest thing in the world" just happens. And it has a classic RPG grammar mistake in it; find it and win a cookie!

Maebird-

Believe it or not, this chapter was going to dive into why Willow has this built up angst but I decided to save it for the final scene in the main story. Kinda like tying up the loose ends.

StarBlitz1312-

Hey, don't talk about Chronos like that. He's a good friend of mine and only I can call him a slut.

xxxcideexxx-

Okay, in theory you're right but remember Willow wore armor that had protected him. If he did wear the armor, he would be dead right. Plus, if he did have his bandanna, his face would had melt off or just fly into the air. But that's just a theory.

Awesome D.T. (1 of 2)-

No, that's a bad Awesome. There will be no shipping without my seal of approval. Go sit in the corner. The Jocelyn and Keiji scene was inspired by an old show if found videos of in the basement and I had to use it with a little twist to it. Also, nothing can fill the hole in Henrik's heart. His one and only love will always be Donna. As for your thoughts on yaoi, well, you better hide because I know a lot of yaoi fangirls who can make people disappear and of them is my sister.

Puma(sister): You're on my list D.T.

Awesome D.T. (2 of 2)-

AWESOME CALM DOWN. You need to lay off the sweets and coffee, they make you crazy(mumble: er). And why must you ship without cause sure Maureen love Willow but that doesn't mean- oh wait. This chapter proves he does have feeling for her. *in a grand voice* Willreen Shipper to your notebooks for there is fanart to be made.

But, Awesome darling, it's October. The time of year to scare people and who doesn't like a good scare.

Sorry but the Nickolas and Willow shippers can't work with it. Also Trevor, Michael and Franklin are three guys I might when I took the job…...clean houses for the elderly. That's what I was doing that day, cleaning houses.


Tiger: Well that's it for this time. Next update will be the grand finale so wear something festive. This is Prince TigerMasters saying it three forty in the morning and I need some sleep
