Chapter Nine - Arrival
The two rats had taken a helicopter to Vernon. They were closing in on the small
little town.
"We really screwed up big time." the first rat said.
"No shit." the second rat said, while lighting a cigarette. "But you don't have to
worry about it," the rat puffed out some smoke, "if we find people infected we can just
let out our secret little weapon..."
The rat looked at a very large container behind him. It was metal and had a
biohazard symbol on it. "What we can't get done this thing can get done. And with the
time bomb it can blow the town sky high."
"Well, I hope we don't have to let that thing out. I'm afraid the damn thing will
bite my head off." the first rat said, working the controls.
"Don't worry, it can't bite your head off. It can only slice it off." the second rat
said grinning, with the cigarette still in his mouth. The first rat grinned back.
"Well, I guess I'm so at ease now."
The helicopter was flying over Vernon. "Okay, this is the place." the second rat
said, after stuffing his cigarette in an ash tray. "Land a little farther away from Vernon so
no one suspects anything."
"Right." the first rat responded, he flew over Vernon and landed not to far from
the town. They stopped, and opened the doors grabbing the magnums on the way out.
The second rat looked at the metal container. "I sure hope we don't have to
release that thing either. Okay, let's do this thing." The first rat nodded and both loaded
their magnums.
Meanwhile, in Vernon, Kitty and Stella's screams did not go unheard.
"Officer Copper, did you here that?" Kevin asked the dog. Copper was looking at
the sky, after seeing the helicopter fly over. Kevin's question made him snap out of it, he
looked at Kevin.
"Yeah. Those screams."
"It sounded kinda' like Stella and Kitty." Kevin said, hoping that his two friends
were okay.
"Yeah, I better go check it out. You being a civilian, I'm afraid I can't allow you
to come with me."
"Please, Officer. Stella and Kitty are my friends. It would put my mind at ease to
make sure they are okay." Kevin asked the police dog. Copper thought for a moment.
"Eh, what the hell..." he said, Kevin smiled.
"Thank you, sir." Copper pulled out another handgun he was carrying around.
"You might want to take that. I already lost Booker today, and I sure as hell ain't
loosin' anyone else. You just let me lead the way, okay boy?" said Cooper.
"Yes, sir!" Kevin said, saluting Officer Copper. Copper grinned, and the two
made there way to the homes of Kitty and Stella.
Things weren't going too easy on the train for Lobo and Dan. There seemed to be
no end of these monsters, and they were running out of ammo and fast.
"Screw whatever the hell is happening! We're getting off this train!" Lobo
yelled. Dan nodded nervously, and the two turned around and made a run for it to get
away from the horde of zombies following them.
They ran past the corpses of the zombies that had already killed, being careful not
to trip on them. They ran into the cart where the phone was, but Rover's body was gone.
Dan and Lobo didn't think a second thing of it, they just kept running. At last the
reached the exit, they were home free. Then they heard a noise, before opening the door.
They didn't care what it was, they had just had enough zombies for one day.
They opened the door quickly, but this time the door fell right off it's hinges, but Dan
and Lobo could care less. They were just happy to finally be off that train.
"Thank God..." Lobo was panting.
"Okay so all we know about what was happened in there is that it has something
to do with an umbrella." Dan said as he and Lobo maid there way down the stairs of the
train station. They were headed for Dan's house.
"I say we just forget about it, Dan." Lobo said. "Little twirps like us stick our
necks out too far, we're gonna' get 'em chopped off." Dan simply smiled.
"I wish I could forget about it, Lobo. I really wish I could."
Dan and Lobo came closer to Dan's house. Dan's Gyroid happily greeted them.
"Welcome home Dan, how can I be of assistance?" the Gyroid wiggled happily.
"I don't suppose you could give us heavy-power firearms to protect ourselves
from flesh eating zombies..." Dan smiled. The Gyroid stopped wiggling and sounded
sad.
"I'm sorry, Dan. That it not in my power." Dan could tell the Gyroid was sad.
This Gyroid seemed to love helping Dan however he possibly could. Dan patted the
Gyroid on the head.
"Eh, don't worry about it, buddy." Dan smiled at the Gyroid. They Gyroid felt
happier, but still didn't wiggle. They then heard footsteps approaching them. Lobo's
ears stood up.
"What was that?" Lobo asked. Dan looked away from his Gyroid, and looked for
where the sound was coming from. The footsteps continued, but Lobo couldn't find who
or what was making the noise. But the Gyroid could.
The Gyroid looked over to a place the human and wolf were not looking, and it
saw the Porter. The one Dan told him had died standing ever so close to Lobo and Dan.
The Porter's uniform was stained with blood. The Gyroid had never seen anything so
horrific before. He had the odd feeling that this creature wanted to harm Dan and his
friend.
The Gyroid began to wiggle faster and faster.
"Dan! Dan!" the Gyroid screamed, Dan lifted his finger to shush the Gyroid.
"Shut up." Dan said to the Gyroid. And the Gyroid did shut up, he had to obey
Dan, no matter what.
The Porter crouched down as if it were about to make a leap at Dan. The Gyroid
feared the Porter would kill him. He had to do something, but he wasn't sure how he
could pull it off.
The Porter prepared to make the jump at Dan, and Gyroid still wiggled madly.
'How am I going to do this...?' the Gyroid thought to himself.
There was no more time to think, the Porter jumped at Dan. The Gyroid had
made his choice. He thrusted himself forward at the Porter, he had never tried moving
before, but he felt he had to. The Porter was about to make contact with Dan when the
Gyroid slammed right into the side of the Porter, with a force powerful enough to knock
down the Porter and break the Gyroid himself.
Dan and Lobo turned in surprise, and the saw the body of the Porter and the
Gyroid, laying side by side.
"The Porter... he became a zombie?" Lobo said.
"The Gyroid... he... was trying to save us." Dan knelt down by the Gyroid. The
Gyroid weakly turned himself over and looked at Dan.
Everything was become blurry for the little guy. He was broken.
"Dan..." said the Gyroid, "was I of... assis... tence?"
"Y-yes, Gyroid." Dan sniffed, "You were..."
"G-good... g-ood..." the Gyroid weakly responded, and then he fell silent and laid
motionless.
Dan placed the Gyroid down, he felt a tear roll down his cheek.
'Why is he showing emotion? The thing wasn't even a living creature. It didn't
have any feelings.' Lobo thought. But then he stopped. 'But can something with no
feeling save someone's life...?'
The Porter slowly rose to his feat. It still wasn't dead? Dan looked at the Porter.
The monster responsible for his Gyroid's demise. He felt nothing but hatred to the
monkey. The Porter was coming to his senses, or what senses a mindless zombie had.
But when it finally did, it had a gun pointed at it's head. Holding the gun was Dan.
Dan gave the Porter a sinister look. "Burn is hell you bastard." said Dan in a
hateful voice, and then fired the bullet though the Porter's head, and blood splattered
everywhere.
There was a moment of silence.
"Damn bastards are loose in the town now." Dan said, finally speaking up. "The
nightmare is far from over."
"You know Dan, we might be able to fix your Gyroid." Lobo said to him, hoping
to cheer Dan up.
"And we will," Dan replied, "we will once this nightmare is over."

A/N: Can a Gyroid move? Well, you can say it can't. You don't if it has tried or not.
