Okay, next chapter, the first real one, anyway. Things are going to get
worse from here on in, mark my words...
Chapter 1------------------Entry-------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Robin lead the team in. A faint squishing sound and a muffled groan could be heard echoing through the entry room. Bodies were scattered, lying about chars and slumped over tables in relaxed positions. Starfire walked to a group of ex-humans.
"Hello, I am glad to see that you are not--- EEEAAAGGGHH!!!" she touched one of the bodies' shoulders and it lolled over to reveal a rotting face, flesh removed from patches of its cheeks and eyes glazed over. The rest of its body appeared the same way. Starfire backed away and collided with a figure. She turned to see another of these party guests, equally mangled and distorted, standing behind her. It raised its arms and let out a long, slow groan as it grabbed her shoulder. She shrieked and shook it off. It fell over onto its back and sluggishly stood up again. By the time it was balanced again Starfire had been with the rest of the group, seeking protection in Robin.
The groaning increased as a good half of the room's corpses rose to challenge the Titans. Robin pointed to the door. "Go!" he shouted. "I'll hold them off!" The team followed their leader's command and ran to the door. Beast Boy stopped halfway to see Robin surrounded by zombies, who were busy gnawing at his living flesh and spraying blood over the floor as they consumed his nutritious tissue. He stood there for a while longer until Terra grabbed his shoulder, saying "Come on, we have to get out of here."
Save for Robin, the team made it through the door easily. The risen from the entry room had, for the most part, been distracted by a free meal. Starfire went to use starbolts to seal the door, but was unable to conjure the energy.
"I seem to be having trouble with my powers." She said, saddened both by the loss of Robin and her now helpless nature.
Raven attempted to help the cause with some telekinesis, only to discover that she, too, was unable to use her powers. Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Terra had the same problem.
"Look" Beast Boy said, pointing to more corpses, piled in a heap. They were the S.W.A.T. team. "They have guns. There's enough for everyone to have a decent amount of ammo too, since we only need..." He cut off here, in reverence for their lost friend. The team moved to the corpses and picked up weapons. No sooner did they arm them than the zombies began to rise, again with a loud groan.
Cyborg turned and yelled "Holy shit!!". After the initial shock wore off, the adrenaline kicked in. The corpses walked slowly, and so there was enough time to let about 4 shots of handgun shells into the rotting flesh of each zombie before they fell. "That's... that's it, right?"
"Not quite..." Raven retorted, shooting down at a zombie who wasn't quite dead yet. In fact, he was getting up again, just like when they found him.
"Okay" Terra said after a long pause. "So we each have a gun, right?"
"Handgun and a shotgun." Beast Boy replied.
"That's good then." Cyborg said. "We'll definitely need them."
The Titans faced the huge room they were in. This was the hub of the tower. The elevator was broken, but the stairs were accessible. Most of the electronics were broken, but one of the computers remained untouched. Cyborg moved over to it and began to type.
"Dude, what are you doing?" Beast Boy asked him, walking over, keeping a close eye on the recently re-slain zombies in the corner.
"There's a good chance we won't make it. If people ever find this, they can at least know what happened..." Cyborg replied, solemnly.
-------------------------Are the faint footsteps the sound of survivors?---- ----------------------
Creepy yet? You haven't even seen anything but the basic zombie. Wait till the real freaky stuff shows up.
Team Status: Robin- Deceased Raven- OK Starfire- OK Cyborg- OK Beast Boy- OK Terra- OK
