"Ugh, where the hell is that gas station!" Rein growled as they walked down the empty, partially destroyed street.
Ciel sighed, "can't we just go back the way we came?"
Ven shook her head as she walked beside Ryou, "we made too many turns, we probably wouldn't remember the way back." Ciel groaned, "damnit Rein!"
Rein growled and turned her head to look over her shoulder, "it's not my fault! How the hell would I have known the correct way to go? What does Michael think I know every corner of this city? Hell no!"
Ryou sighed, deciding to take Zion's job. "Stop fighting, i'm sure they've gotten the gas they needed so they're probably looking for us now."
Rein nodded, "yeah! Listen to the hot boy! He's got the right idea!" Ciel groaned again.
Suddenly Rein stopped, Ven watched as she looked with a curious gaze to her best friend. Ven raised an eyebrow as the rest of the group approached her. Ciel as well noticed they'd stopped. "What's the hold up?" Ven walked away from Ryou to look where Rein was looking. She blinked, seeing the cause of why she stopped walking; it was a tunnel. A really dark tunnel that was filled with cars with no drivers.
"Isn't this the tunnel way out of the city?" Rein nodded at Ven's question. "I think so...?" She asked slowly and more as a question.
Ciel shook her head furiously, "oh, no, we are NOT going in there! That's suicide!"
Rein nodded and pointed to the tunnel. "We ride at dawn!" She charged towards the tunnel, holding her gun high in the air. "FOR NARNIA!" She screamed happily. Ciel smacked her forehead repeatedly against the wall beside them. Ven blinked and ran after Rein, Ryou hesitantly following her making Star hesitantly follow. Finally, Ciel groaned and ran after the group with Shadow.
"Wait up!" She cried.
Rein skipped merrily in between cars and occasionally peered inside them, unfazed by the occassional dead bodies in the driver's seats or in the back of the cars.
"Why the hell are we going through here now? We should get back together with the rest of the group if we're going to go through here and leave the city!" Ciel hissed in a hushed tone, not knowing when a zombie could pop up which was very likely.
Rein waved her wrist, "psssssh! Chill out! We'll be fine! We should clear out the place of any zombies that way, when we come back we won't have to worry about any zombies!" Rein grinned.
Ciel blinked, was that an actual plan? Coming from Rein?
Ven blinked as she walked between cars with ease with Ryou walking behind her who was walking in front of Star. "That's actually a good idea. That's kind of scary..." She mumbled towards the end making Rein laugh loudly.
Rein then clapped her hands in an up and down motion. "Alright! Let's attract some zombies!" She grinned and cupped her hands around her mouth. Ciel's eyes widened and just before she could tell her to stop, she began to shout.
"HEY YOU MOTHERFUCKING UNDEAD ASSHOLES! WE'RE OVER HERE! HUMANS ARE ON THE MENU - HALF OFF!" Her voice echoed loudly throughout the entire way of the tunnel making everyone's eyes widen.
Suddenly, moans and slow footsteps filled the air in the dark tunnel. Coming into view, a large group of zombies moaned as they walked a little quicker than normal and towards the group. Rein grinned and waved, "hiya!" She laughed.
"Out of the tunnel!" Ciel called and quickly spun around and ran out with Shadow jumping on her shoulder. Ryou grimaced slightly before turning and backing out after Star with Ven following them. Rein laughed as she watched the large group of zombies approach them before she unconsciously peered into a car. She grinned before reaching into the broken window and grabbing the bag of chips that sat on the seat. "Siiiiiick!" She laughed.
"Rein!" She blinked as she heard Ciel call her name. Rein again grinned widely, threw her hands up in the air with the bag of chips and ran out as the zombies were only a few feet away.
"Look, Ven! Chips!" Rein held out her bag of chips to Ven like it was a prize making her raise an eyebrow and wonder where the hell she found that.
Ciel slapped her forehead as Shadow jumped down from her shoulder and hissed at the zombies who began to exit the tunnel and proceed towards the group. "Rein! This is no time!" She growled as she took out her dagger and Ryou his katana.
Rein growled as she tried to open her bag of chips. "It won't open!" Ciel smacked her forehead before running towards the rapidly approaching zombie's, slicing the first one's throat as Shadow jumped on another and tore apart his scalp with a hiss.
Ven got in front of Rein protectively, shooting several of the zombies that got too close and some that were approaching while Rein continued to try and open the bag of chips. Ryou joined Ciel and covered her back, slicing through zombies that were too close as well as Star aided the two and jumped on a zombie, tearing apart it's throat.
"THIS BAG WAS MADE BY SATAN!" Rein shouted with frustration, continuously tugging at both sides of the bag trying to get it to open. Ven sighed as she shot more zombies directly in the forehead every time making them fall to the ground only for more zombies to take there place and step over the dead, bloody bodies.
"Rein! Focus, damnit!" Ciel hissed as she continued to use her dagger to slice through multiple zombie's chests.
"They're gonna eat your chips!" Ven finally cried to Rein. Rein's eyes popped open before she swiftly took out her gun with one hand. "Oh, ho fuck that!" Rein aimed her gun at the crowd of zombies and began shooting multiple of them.
Ryou, Ciel, Ven and Rein grimaced as they were forced to back further and further from the number of zombies. Finally, Rein ran out of ammo, tossed her gun away in Ven's direction which she swiftly caught and held her bag of chips with both hands. Rein held the bag out, a zombie leaned over and bit the bag. Instantly Rein pulled her bag away and the zombie's head came off but his teeth didn't puncture the bag. Rein lowered the bag with the head still attached and growled. "Damnit!"
Ven sighed, used her own ammo to refill Rein's gun and tossed it back to her which she caught. Rein quickly shot a few more zombies before going back to trying to open her bag of chips.
"This has Rein written all over it." Zion sighed as he lightly touched his forehead with a sigh at the sight of the burned truck that appeared to have crashed into the store.
Michael blinked at Zion, "you think she did this?" He asked as he glanced at the truck.
Zion nodded. "Of course she did. No one else I know could do this much damage." He said almost sarcastically.
"Hey guys! Look!" Both Michael and Zion glanced over at Shun who stood in front of the clothing store, pointing at the broken window. Blinking, Michael and Zion walked over and examined the glass.
Zion nodded again, "yup. They were definitely here. Rein always goes for the window for some reason."
Shun nodded, "let's go in!" He exclaimed before climbing in through the window and walking further into the store. Zion nodded before following and glancing back at Michael, who stared back at his parked car for a moment which Ayumi and Myoko sat in before following Shun and Zion.
Zion raised his eyebrow at an object on the floor and knelt down. It was a Pac-Man suit. "Now i'm sure she was here..." He muttered before standing up. Shun ran over to him, "I couldn't find them anywhere." Now Michael approached them, "looks like there long gone by now."
Michael nodded before climbing back out the window to the store and walked back over to his car which he parked just a few feet away, "let's go then! They can't be too far!" Michael quickly got into the driver's seat, glancing at the bored appearing Myoko beside him in the passenger's seat as Zion climbed out the window and got in the back seat beside Ayumi as Shun sat next to him and closed the door.
Once more, Michael pressed the gas pedal and the search for everyone started again.
Ryou panted as he knelt down and gripped his chest, feeling the pain from it return again. He was exhausted from fighting for about an hour and a half now and his body still hadn't recovered from the last time the pain came back. Ven instantly noticed Ryou was down and ran over to him through a pathway through the zombies and shot down any zombie that got close.
Rein glanced over, noticing as well that Ryou was down and Ven was protecting him. Rein sighed, tossed her bag of chips somewhere over by a wall and used both her hands to shoot down the zombies. Ryou was a little more important to her than a bag of chips.
"Ciel!" Rein called, Ciel glanced over to her, hearing her call her name as she sliced another zombie. "Ryou's down! Let's pick up the pace, shall we?" She grinned. Ciel grinned as well, "no problem!" She called back as she jumped up slightly and drove her dagger into the chest of one of the zombie's. Meanwhile, Star noticed Ryou was down and got closer to Ven, helping her take out the zombies by jumping on them and continuing to tear out their throats while Shadow stayed with Ciel and helped her.
After awhile more of fighting, Ciel sighed as she backed away. The number of zombie's didn't seem to decrease despite the fact the floor was littered with their bodies. "Hate to say this, but I think we might not make it out of this one!" Ciel called as she sliced through another zombie, panting as she did, even Star and Shadow were tiring out.
Rein grinned, "then we go out with a bang!" She called back as she kicked back a zombie and shot it in it's head before it could get back up. Ciel shook her head, "where the hell do you get all that energy?" She muttered, panting heavily as she let out a small cry before driving her dagger into the forehead of a zombie making more blood splatter everywhere.
Ven as well started to feel dizzy, the energy rapidly draining from her body as she shot at another zombie, this time it completely missed it's head. Finally, Ven's mind went blank as her eyes shut, she dropped her gun and fell to the ground in a deep slumber.
Rein instantly heard her body fall to the ground, she glanced over at Ven. Her eyes widened, "Ven!" She called, kicked away a zombie that had gotten close and tried to bite into her shoulder before running over to Ven and standing protectively in front of her and shot away any zombie that got close to either her or Ryou who was still in too much pain to stand up. Ciel heard Rein's call, grimacing she ran through an open path through the zombie's and stood behind Ryou with Shadow and sliced through any zombie that tried to get in through the back. Star also ran through her own path, staying beside Rein and launching herself at a zombie besides the ones Rein shot and swiftly bit down on it's throat.
Before Rein could shoot another bullet, the gun simple made a click but no bullet came out. Rein blinked before dropping her gun, keeping both hands in the air.
"We are officially fucked!" She grinned before glancing back at Ciel who's eyes widened at her. "You're out of bullets? What happened to the ammo Ayumi gave you?" She called before digging her dagger into a zombie's chest and kicking him away, removing the dagger at the same time.
"Hell if I know!" Rein grinned, running slightly to her side and kicking away a zombie that got close to Ven.
Ciel smacked her forehead before slicing at another zombie. "Hurry and take Ven's bullets then!" Rein grinned as she kicked away another zombie that had gotten extremely close. "Don't think there's any time for that!" Ciel groaned before she let out another short cry as she sliced through another zombie quickly before kicking away another that had tried to get to Ryou.
Rein panted as she backed away slightly, being careful not to step on Ven. "I guess this is it! Nice knowin' ya, Ciel!" Ciel glanced back with wide eyes, "Rein!" She called, seeing a zombie grabbing onto Rein before she could kick it away and it opened it's jaws, preparing to bite into her arm while Rein flinched slightly and struggled before shutting her eyes tightly.
But before the zombie could bite into Rein, blood splattered everywhere as an axe suddenly flung it's way into it's skull, making it's grip loosen on Rein as it fell to the ground in a bloody heap. Rein blinked as she looked to the owner of the axe and grinned widely.
"Shun!" She cried as Shun returned the grin.
"Hey Rein, you alright?" He asked, Rein rapidly nodded. Before Rein could say anything else, she felt a presence behind her and whirled around only to stop in her tracks seeing Zion pick up Ven and Ayumi kneeling beside Ryou. Rein sighed in relief and grinned, "hey sexy! Nice to see you again!" Zion laughed with a small smile, "good to see you to, Rein."
Rein then glanced at Myoko, seeing her slice away at zombies with her own katana and Michael swinging away at the zombies with his bat. Zion smiled, "you, Ciel, Shadow, Star and Ryou better get back to the car. We can handle the rest, we're sure you're exhausted by now." Rein nodded, "damn right! You guys be careful!" Zion nodded and handed Ven to Rein before going out to join everyone in fighting off the remaining zombies.
Ciel walked beside Rein and nodded, together with Ayumi's help in helping Ryou, they ran back to the car which wasn't far away.
"He alright?" Rein asked as she put Ven in the passenger seat while Shadow and Star jumped in the spacious trunk while Ayumi, together with Ciel helped Ryou into the car as he began to cough violently and grip his chest. Lucky for him, his hair helped hide his pained expression.
"I'm not sure." Ciel answered as Rein's eyes widened, seeing blood seep through his fingers as he coughed. Rein closed the door to the passenger seat and ran over to the door of the back seat, gently pushing Ciel out of the way and grabbing his hand and examined the blood.
"You need a doctor!" Rein exclaimed as Ryou tugged his hand away. "I'm fine." He growled lowly before coughing again.
Rein sighed before backing away from the back seat and opening up the passenger door again. Swiftly she dug through Ven's sweater pocket and pulled out the plastic bag full of pain killers. She took two in her hands before putting the plastic bag back in her pocket and going back to the back seat after shutting the door again.
Rein handed the pills out to Ryou. "Take them." She said. Ryou glanced at her slightly before recognizing the pills as the same ones Ven gave him before. Quickly, he took them, put them in his mouth and swallowed them.
With a sigh, Rein glanced to Ciel and nodded. "Those pills are strong as fuck, trust me. I'm going back to help the others, keep an eye on him." Rein blinked, realizing that sounded a bit awkward. "Well, if you can." She quickly added before kneeling down in front of Ayumi and ruffling her hair. "You help Ciel watch Ryou now!" With that she stood up and Ayumi smiled. "I'm counting on you!" After that, Rein ran back over to help Zion and the others.
Ciel narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms, "oh sure, leave a blind person and a little kid to watch over someone."
"Yo, Zion!" Zion blinked as he spun around, seeing Rein approach him with a grin.
"What are you doing here?" He asked as he sliced at a close by zombie, the numbers finally dwindling. There were only a few left now. Rein grinned, "I decided to come back and help you deal with the rest!" Rein kicked at a zombie and Zion swiftly shot it as it hit the ground.
Zion nodded, "if you say so. Just be careful!" Rein nodded as she ran further into the small crowd of zombies. "Yeah, yeah!"
"Hiya!" Rein grinned as she let her back touch Shun's as he slammed his axe into a zombie.
Shun looked over his shoulder and smiled, "back I see?" Rein grinned before kicking off Shun slightly and kicking at a close by zombie. "You know it!"
The battle continued on for a little longer like that. Myoko sliced away at zombies with her own katana, Rein had Shun's back as he hacked at zombies with his axe, Zion helped Michael at slicing zombies while Michael hit them with his bat.
Rein shot her fists in the air, "WOO!" She cheered as Shun laughed beside her and Zion and Michael exchanged high fives.
Shun grinned, "glad we came when we did?" Rein returned the grin. "Hell yeah! I'm so happy you did that I could kiss you! So I think I will!" Rein laughed as Shun blushed before she grabbed his shirt, pulled him down slightly and lightly touched her lips against his before letting go and running over to Zion and jumping on his back making him faulter slightly and leaving Shun blushing furiously.
