Chapter 8. Insert UTTER, AGONIZING PAIN Here
10:35pm. Lemur City Downtown Metro Area
Heero and Quatre stalked through the street that led to the shopping plaza. Along the way… they came across, of course several zombies…
All of which received a savage ass-kicking from Quatre OR a savage ass-splattering blast from Heero's shotgun.
As the two Zombie Slayers approached the Plaza Area of Lemur City, they heard a person scream out loud for help.
"OH!!! MY GAAAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAWD!!! HELP!!!! HEEEEEEEELP!!!!" The poor sap hollered. Several gunshots also echoed through the streets.
Heero (being... Heero) could give a rat's ass.
Heero took a deep breath and uttered, "I could give a rat's ass."
(Author's note: Y'see?)
But NOT Quatre R. Winner (he certainly is!!!)! "Oh my goodness!!! We have to save him!!!" He took out his Magnum and stated, "We HAVE to go that way REGARDLESS! Besides, if we save him, then we have ANOTHER ally!"
Heero fixed his newspaper around his waist and sighed, "More zombie bait for me. Let's do this." He led the way towards the ominous, narrow, and dark alley.
Quatre followed behind, puzzled. What's zombie bait?
They hurried down the dark alleyway, which was dimly lit due to the brightly lit open area at the end of the path.
The Perfect Body led the way down the alley, but when he reached the opening, Heero froze. "Holy… shit…" he voiced lowly. He quickly stepped back around the corner and reloaded his shotgun.
Quatre nearly bumped into him. "Hey—" He protested.
Heero turned around and gestured for him to be quiet. He peeked back around the corner and ducked back again. "Forget about him." He moved back for Quatre to take a look around the corner.
Quatre peered down the narrow alley and spotted the would-be potential survivor and ally staggering around---- with his brains spilling all over the sidewalk. It was quite obvious the attack was sudden. The man was still reaching for his head in his final movements. His mouth was opened but no words came out, only more blood and…. Uhm stuff. Finally he faltered to the ground and died.
Heero walked out into the open and saw that he was a fellow mercenary. He didn't know him very well, for he was not in his team, but he kinda felt bad for him. He was pretty good to be alive until now….
"I don't think a zombie did this." Heero called out.
Quatre stepped out of the alley and nodded, "Not unless the zombies are armed with giant brain-probing straws…." He suddenly looked further down the street and spotted a boutique. He pointed, "He look---"
They heard a noise: A sort of clicking, a sort of slurping noise from up above. Quatre and Heero didn't have to look up for the details, because the creature had landed RIGHT in between them.
SPLAT! The slimy creature landed. It didn't have a mouth, more like a proboscis--- for sucking brains. It didn't really have much of a form…. It mainly consisted of slimy, green skin, covered with yellow and red ropey veins, with two yellow orbs for eyes wobbling all over the place. Giant, hooked claws took the place of its feet and hands.
Heero and Quatre landed on opposite sides of the creature. Its nasty-ass body slime splashed upon both Survivors.
"Ewe!!!" Quatre whimpered.
Heero quickly got up and prepared to fight. "There's NO WAY in HELL I am going to LOSE to a GIANT, WALKING BOOGER!" He got ready to fire the shotgun.
SLASH!!! SLASH!!! SLASH!!! In three quick swipes, Heero's ONLY piece of clothing was shredded. Heero Yuy was naked once again.
"I'll say it again: That's FUCKING dirty!" Heero growled.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIYE!!!" The creature sounded. Then it decided to remove even more from our Nude Soldier: say his brains! It suddenly lifted the top of its body and started going after Heero on its two back claws.
Heero opened fire. The shotgun blast seemed to shove it back. So, it decided to make a leap and pin Heero to the ground. The Blue-Eyed Devil was NOT in a good position---NO literally.
Heero grabbed to claws, keeping them at bay from his head. He crossed appendages over to block that pesky proboscis from piercing his brain. It seemed like a good idea until the slime from its body oozed down, making the claws slippery, and therefore difficult for Heero to hold it off.
"This… is … so…. FUCKING…. GROSS!!!" Heero growled as the slime dripped upon his arm and slide down towards his neck. "SHIT!!!"
"Get off of him!!!" Quatre ran up to the Brain Eating Booger and tried to tackle it. Unfortunately, The Eater of Too Many Cookies slid across the creature's backside and fell to the ground. "Oooph!!"
Quatre got back up. He hurried over and kicked the creature in the side, knocking it off of Heero. The creature then focused on Quatre. That's okay. Quatre was focused on the creature, as well. As the creature took another grand leap, towards Quatre, the Blonde Arabian fired his Magnum and killed the fucker. It landed upon the ground, splashing slime every-friggin-where. The upper segment was decimated….
"Ewe!" Quatre whined, wiping the remains of slime off his designer shirt. He cleared his throat and cheered. He took a minute to brandish his weapon of choice and shouted, "GAWD! I love this gun!" He glanced over to where Heero was and saw that he was gone. "Heero!!?!"
He turned towards the direction of the boutique and spotted the bare backside of Heero walking off…
"Uh…." Quatre turned his head "You're heading for the boutique, right??"
SLAM!!! Heero was already inside the boutique.
Quatre also walked in the same direction. When he neared the shop's entrance he looked up at the sign…..
It read:
FETISH FACTORY(AUTHOR'S note: Don't knock it! This store ROCKS!!!)
Quatre raised an eyebrow over this. That's…. interesting. He admitted nervously.
He looked to the business next to it.
The sign read:
Mount CalvaryChristian Bookstore & Gift Shop
(Author's Note: Don't knock it! This store ROCKS!!!)
Quatre blinked. That's… also interesting… WAIT a minute why would anyone put these two stores next to each----Oh, forget about it.
Quatre walked inside the fetish store. I hope Heero can find something decent….
10:49pm. Trolley pickup station. Downtown Lemur City.
Wu-Bear and the Mercenary of Death entered the trolley. Wufei's speculation was correct—this train was going nowhere—and according to the trolley's manual: some seriously STUPID stuff had to be done before it could even move.
Wufei tossed the manual aside and headed for the controls. Duo trotted after. Wufei passed by a shiny wrench the side seat.
"Pick it up." He ordered Duo.
Duo asked, all hopeful, "Will it fix the trolley?"
"No."
Duo picked up the wrench. "Why do I need to----?"
Wufei stopped marching. He turned around and answered, "BECAUSE: It's a Key Item! We need it for SOMETHING! SOMETHING to do with this trolley. Let's go."
"Oh!"
Wufei unlocked the side door, next to the controls and jumped out of the trolley. There was a mercenary, right outside the passenger's car, being cornered by several zombies. He was standing behind an oil drum.
"H-help me!!! Please!!!" Called the mercenary in a heavy Slavic accent. He may have been wounded, but still conscious enough to know potential help when he sees it.
Duo got ready to run to his aid and kick zombie ass, but Wufei beat him to it. The Pony Tailed Pessimist took aim with his Gatling Gun and blew the oil drum up.
Everything within that area was obliterated, including the wounded mercenary.
Duo got up from the ground and shouted at Wu, "WHAT the FUCK did you do THAT for?!??!"
Wufei looked at the Braided Baka with puzzlement, "What?! I killed the zombies!"
"He said 'Help Me' not 'FUCKING ROAST ME'!!!" Duo protested. "You're sick!!!"
Wufei looked at Duo strangely. "This coming from the ONNA-looking boy!!!"
Duo was PISSED, "W-hat??!" He put up his garbed fists and growled, "NO ONE calls me an….. a…….. WHAT-ever that was you called me!!!"
The Hater of Onnas smirked, "I don't have time to play with you, ONNA! I have to get this trolley going so that I can rescue you weaklings from Lemur City." He turned and walked off. "Let's go!"
Duo yelled, "Hey, BITCH-ASS!!! Stop calling me that!!!" Seeing that he was being ignored, Duo picked up a piece of ruble and threw it towards Wufei's backside. "Don't walk away from me!!!"
The ANGERED Dragon Wu-Wu stumbled from the impact. He quickly regained footing and dropped all weaponry and gear from his body. "Now… you've… pissed me off." He calmly stated, his back still facing Duo.
"DIIIIIIIIIIE!!!" Duo rushed towards Wufei, who was still turned around and---
BAW!!!! Duo received an elbow DEEP in the gut.
"U-uuu-gh!!!" The Braided One stammered before falling to the ground.
Wufei turned around and kicked Duo across the street and into the side of the trolley. "Let's see what you can do, Du-ette!!" He teased.
"AAAAAARGH!!!!" Duo got up and took out his combat knife. "I'm gonna cut your fucking face off and strangle you with it, Wu-Wu!"
Wufei took out his sword and screamed, "DON'T call me THAT!!!!"
"What? Wu-Tang?!?!" Duo retorted.
"STOP IT!!!"
"Wu-Long?!!"
"Fucking BAKA!!!" Wufei started to twitch with aggravation. "Say something else and I'll chop that Onna-like braid!!! I mean it!!!"
Duo skipped around him and taunted, "Oooh, Wu-La-La!!! Wu-Man, Winnie the Wu, Little Bunny Wu-Wu." He started laughing, "Oh my gawd!!! This is fucking great----AH-HAHAHA-AAAAYH!??!!"
"IMA FUCKING KILL YOOOOOOOOOOU!!!" Wufei dropped his sword and speared him, knocking Duo into the ground. "BAAAAAASTARD!!!"
Both boys went to scraping. Fists went flying. Feet went to kicking. Elbows were being thrown as well….
There were a few zombies in the area close by, but they seemed to have enough sense remaining, to realize that messing with them would probably be a BAD idea.
Duo flipped Wufei over his head and insulted, "YO' MOMMA!!!"
"Your DADDY!!!" Wufei flipped off the side of the trolley and tried to land upon Duo with his feet.
Duo rolled to the side and swept him. "I don't KNOW who my daddy is----HA!!!" He climbed upon the befallen Wufei and punched him square in the face.
Wufei punched him back---dead in the eye and tossed The Shinagami off of him. He flipped to his feet and grabbed Duo by the braid, yanking his head back hard.
"OW!!!" Duo shouted. "DON'T TOUCH MY----WHOOOOOOOA---Ooph!!"
Wufei tossed Duo over a nearby pile of sand bags. He stalked over towards him. "Who EVER the son-of-a-bitch is, I'll make sure that you meet him SOON----"
"YEEEEEEEIYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!" Something sounded behind Wufei causing him to pause.
"What the fuck is that??!!" Babe Wu uttered as he staggered backwards towards where Duo landed.
Standing upon the trolley was a humanoid creature with red, scaly skin. Its head consisted of a HUGE mouth, complete with tiny razor sharp teeth and two beady, yellow eyes. It hands were tipped with long, sharp looking claws.
Wufei backed into the sandbags. He searched for his weapons. DOH!! He dropped everything to brawl with Duo. "Fuck!!!" He swore. He jolted when the creature jumped off of the trolley and made a mad dash toward him. "Oh FUCK!!!"
"yyyyyyyyYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIEIEIEIEIEIIEIEIIEIIII!!!!" The creature sounded as he got ready to kill him.
All of a sudden, Duo flipped out from behind Wufei and landed in front of the creature. He shot the monster in the face with an acid round. The headless aberration went flying back… slamming into the side of the trolley car.
Wufei slid down the ground. He groaned in defeat. "I guess I owe you." He said humbly.
Duo placed his weapon back in his backpack and grinned wickedly, "I suppose you're right." He turned around and offered his hand. "Friends…. Punky Wu-ster?"
Wufei Chang cringed. He took a deep breath and exhaled, "Yes, Duo. Friends." GAWD, I HATE THIS GUY!
