I have... one fan. Oh well, its better than I thought. Next chapter (I am
really bored lately. Expect this fic to finish up quickly if I can't pull
off another plot twist. Not that I have any yet, but... ah, you don't wanna
hear this crap. On with the zombies!
Chapter 2--------------------Discoveries------------------------------------ -----------------------
"Why are we still in here?" Raven asked, breaking the silence. "Shouldn't we leave?"
Cyborg stepped up. "If we leave now, these things could get out of the tower. We can't let that happen, they're going down." It was clear that he stepped up in Robin's absence. "Besides, I need the spare battery in my room to keep functioning past this month."
"Alright, we have to go then." Terra said, anxiously. "The elevator is demolished, and there's a huge hole in the ground blocking off most of the rooms on this floor. We have the option of going into the basement or up a level. Or maybe... yeah, I think some of us could jump the gap right about there, but that'd only get us into that animal hospital BB set up..."
"Well you can't just leave 'em there, in the road! They could be killed!" Beast Boy shouted back in his own defense.
Terra smiled. "I never said you were wrong, just that we couldn't do much from there." Beast Boy relaxed a bit. "Think you can jump it with me, BB?"
"Yeah, no problem. I just need a running start." He told her, confidently. "Lets go."
"Alright, we'll split up. You two check for anything useful in that room, the three of us can go down into the basement to look for survivors. Maybe they all ran to there." Cyborg said, leading Raven and Starfire to the stairs. Beast Boy and Terra went for the jump. Both of them cleared it easily.
"So... what did you have in here last?" Terra asked.
"A couple abandoned dogs, and an exhibit full of gorillas that escaped from the zoo. They should be fine." He said. They opened the door, and stepped into the room. It was dark. Nothing could be heard but the sound of their footsteps, and even louder, their heartbeats. Something made a sharp noise in one corner of the room. Terra pressed close to Beast Boy for comfort.
"Lights. We need lights." Terra said. Beast Boy nodded in agreement and went to the nearest switch.
"No lights, the switch won't work." He said with a gulp.
"Damn..." She replied. "Well, alright then. Lead the way..."
They walked for a bit through the rooms, hitting tables and food dishes as they went. The giant pen that the dos were in was broken down. The gorillas were also loose. A faint bark came from the distance, and continued to close in.
"One of the strays." Beast Boy pointed out. "Better see if he's okay." Beast Boy moved forward, into the darkness. Terra followed him. In the darkness, you could see Beast Boy's silhouette bending over, and nearby a dog, running towards him like he was holding food. Suddenly the dog jumped and planted its teeth around Beast Boy's arm. "SHIT!!" he screamed out. Terra readied her gun as Beast Boy frantically tried to shake the attacker off his arm.
"I hear more coming!" Terra yelled, turning in the direction of several light sets of footsteps. She readied her gun. Beast Boy was able to throw the dog off, and regain his posture as he placed a piece of lead in its frontal lobe. He watched it carefully, seeing that it was dead, before standing beside Terra to await more of them. He held his gun awkwardly; the dog took a good piece of his good arm to its grave. The two braced themselves and opened fire as more silhouettes came in view. Three of the four dogs fell, the last one made a dive for Terra. She shrieked out, and Beast boy struck it mid-air with the butt of his pistol, knocking it unconscious. He shot it once for good measure.
"That was freaky..." Beast Boy observed, rubbing his arm, looking for the tourniquets he used on animals to stop their bleeding. He had applied one, and found a flashlight nearby. He turned it on and it flickered. "Low on battery. Best not to waste it." He said, scanning the room quickly. Everything was destroyed. The only useful thing around here was a lead rod, but the enemy didn't seem the kind to be stopped by a beating. He took it regardless.
Suddenly a door crashed on the other side of the room. "Isn't that where you had the gorillas?" Terra asked, fear striking her voice.
"Shit. Shit no..." Beast Boy replied, equally afraid. He shined the flashlight over to see... a hunter. Its skin shone in the light, and it diverted its eyes for a second to adjust. The beast then turned to Terra. "Run... Run away. RUN LIKE HELL!!!!" Beats Boy shouted, making a dash for the door and grabbing terra by the arm. The hunter chased after them. When they came to the gap, Beast Boy, with Terra in his arms, jumped it. The hunter made an attempt to do the same, but was unable to clear even half the gap. It fell down to the basement.
The two took a second to catch their breath. "Where are the others?" Beast Boy asked, having lost his memories to fear.
"In... the basement..." Terra said, panic stricken. Shit! That thing is down there!"
"No time then." He responded. "Lets go!" and with tat, the ran to the basement, hoping to find their friends before the beast did.
-----------------And like that they wake. Is there no path to sanity?------- ----------------------
Wow, that one went nicely. I'm happy with it, anyway.
