Chapter 6

Inside the hall room was horrible, bodies everywhere, blood and gore included, and what was more is that there are dozens of zombies feasting upon the bodies.

"Oh my God !!!" shout Michael, one of the town survivor.

They quickly go out the room and shut the door, their breath heavily, trying to calm themselves. "I...I...I can't believe this... this is just a nightmare, yes this is just a nightmare..." said Michael.

"Calm yourself Michael, this is not a nightmare, this is reality. We will survive together, don't worry Michael." said Ken.

"Yes, we will survive, don't worry. Now, we need fast transport, and usually in police station there is a chopter, do you know if there is one Joe ?" asked RD.

"I guess there is one on the roof top, I'm not sure tough" said Joe.

"Okay then, to the roof top now." said Ken.

They seem to be in luck this time, not too many zombies on their way to the rooftop. After reaching the rooftop, they quickly look around and found only one chopter. "Damn, only one chopter, how can we all go ?" asked Michael to no one in particular.

"Well, do we have any pilot for the chopter ?" asked Ryu.

"I can. I used to be with the airforce." said Joe.

"Hmm... its obvious that we can't all go in one turn, so Joe, you take the kids and Michael go first, the rest of us will wait for you to come back, how's that guys?" asked Ryu. The others agreed with the suggestion, so they quickly got the kids and Michael to the chopter.

"I'll be back soon guys, so stay alive, you hear ?!" said Joe with a grateful smile to the fighters, when suddenly a door to the roof broke and some zombies came through.

"Aww... s***, quickly Joe, fly away, we'll hold those things." said RD. The four fighters quickly kicked the zombies away. After the chopter took off, they ran to other exit on the roof.

They ran to an empty room, got a rest there and planned what to do next. "Well, now we're safe for a while, and since we can't go outside why don't we check around the station, maybe we can find someone or something that can explain to us about what happen in this town" suggested Ken.

"Not a bad idea, beside we're not really safe here since those zombies can break through the door." said Rogue. The other two agreed. They got out the room and started to explore the station.

They explored, fought, and searched, but did not find anything that could help, most weapons were either broken, out of ammo or both. They did not find any survivors either. And what made more frustrating for them, was that they had to avoid the hordes of zombies because if they fought every zombie they met, they would ran out of energy for sure.

While trying to avoid a horde of zombies, they ran into a big room filled with books and... yep, zombies. They were trapped, both inside and outside the room were hordes of zombies. "Crap... now what do we do ?" asked Ken feeling a bit tired.

"I'm getting tired of running away, stand back, I'll finish them with one hit." said RD.

"What ?! you can't be serious." said Ryu.

"Just wait and see." said RD.

"What will you use ?" asked Rogue.

"Ground Breaker Wave. No other option right ? Besides, it doesn't use too much chi" replied RD. RD then started concentrating, calling the Earth Guardian power from the Earth Gem to his both hands. Suddenly, from his behind a giant appeared, the giant wore a brown robe - the color of earth - and its height was about 3 meters. As RD moved to hit the ground with both hands, the giant also moved exactly the same way as RD. The ground shook violently, and from RD hands, a wide wave of energy moved toward the zombies. The energy hit the zombies and they exploded and destroy everything on its path in radius of 6 meters squares.

After the explosion stopped, there wasn't a single zombie that could be seen. "Whoaaa, how did you do that?" said Ken in amazement.

"I used the Earth elemental power, it's not originally my technique, that's my friend super technique. I can use it as well, but that technique also drain lots of Earth elemental power, and now I can't use any Earth elemental power for some time" said RD showing the Earth gem that turned its color from brown to black.

"What happened to that rock?" asked Ryu.

"This rock is the Earth power gem, as I said before my power is Soul Power, and if I want to use the other elemental power such as wind, fire, earth, and others, I have to have the gem with me. Each time I used the elemental power, some amount of power will be taken from the gem depends on how big I used the element power. But if the original owner use it, say like Rogue - she owns the wind power - uses the wind power, the elemental power won't get drained from the Wind gem so she can uses it anytime she likes." explain RD.

"Hmm... I see, so now that you have used up all the Earth power, what you can do with that gem ?" asked Ryu.

"I can use it again, if I have recharge it. It took about two hours to make it full again." said RD.

"Ok, now that this room is clear from those zombies, what do you say if we search this room, maybe there is something that can help us." said Ken.

"Right, let's do it" replied the others.

They searched the room carefully, not missing a single inch or a single book, then Ryu found something interesting.

"Hey, look at this" said Ryu waving the book that he found interesting.

"Hey, isn't that the symbol of Shadowloo ?" asked Ken after seeing the cover.

"Yes it is, but how come... Shadowloo was destroyed about a year or two years ago..." said Ryu pondering.

"What is it ? What is Shadowloo ?" asked Rogue curiously.

"Shadowloo is a big crime organisation, they do everything that is dirty, cruel, and criminal. They also tried to gather street fighters to make their own soldier. About a year or two years ago we, Ryu and I and Interpol, fought together and destroyed the organisation... but how come they still..." replied Ken.

"Maybe there are still some parts of the organisation still alive, like in here. Anyway, what is in the book ?" asked RD.

"Hold on, let me have a look." said Ken.

After a while, Ken had finish reading the book and the others had finished searching the room. Then they gathered around Ken, waiting to find out what he had read.

"This is crazy. According to this book, the PD (Police Department) in here is involved with the Shadowloo. They were to protect a secret lab under this station. They are trying to make a biological weapon, this bio weapon is some kind of poison that can affect the nerves system in human body. I don't really understand what are the effects, but according to this book when this poison infects someone, he or she has about ½ to 1 hour before turning into a zombie, depending on his or her strength." said Ken.

"How can this poison infect someone ?" asked Ryu.

"By liquid and get into the body or if you get bitten by one of the zombie." replied Ken.

"Is there any way to cure its effect ?" asked Rogue.

"Well, according to this book, there is a serum for this poison, and this book also point to the location where the serum is." said Ken.

And suddenly, without they know there was a zombie that still alive although its body was only half. The zombie managed to crawl near them and bit Ken on his leg !!!!

"Aaarrgghhh... what the?!" screamed Ken. He looked down at the zombie and kicked the zombie on its head with a disgust feeling.

"KEN !"shouted Ryu quickly caught his friend before Ken fell down.

RD and Rogue quickly checked around them, but it seemed that was the last zombie alive. They then quickly checked Ken's condition. Ken's leg around the wound was beginning to turn black.

"Ken, fight the poison with your chi !" said Ryu.

Ken tried to fight the poison but the poison was so strong that he almost couldn't hold the effect. Ryu quickly helped Ken by channeling his chi to Ken's body. RD and Rogue quickly picked the book from the floor and started to study the map to find their position and locating the room where the serum was stored.

"Gosh, the room is on the third floor, and we're in the first floor. I bet there will be too much zombies on the way." whispered Rogue to RD.

"Don't worry. You stay here and help Ryu to look after Ken. Ryu must not stop channeling his energy to Ken, otherwise the poison effect will become faster." said RD to Rogue.

"But, you're going alone? That's dangerous, you know how many zombies will be on your way. I'm coming with you." replied Rogue.

"No, you have to stay here in case if there is enemy come. Ryu can't stop at this moment, so its your job to protect them." said RD.

"B-but" argued Rogue.

RD quickly kissed Rogue to silent her. "Don't worry, before I marry you I won't die yet." whispered RD to Rogue.

"Promise you'll be back." said Rogue, blushing.

"I promise." replied RD smiling.

Then RD quickly took the map and got out the room and began to search for the serum for the sake of his new friend...
