Chapter 2: The Loss of Friends

Yugi's POV

I had awakened after what seemed like an hour. I found myself in a
restaurant. It seems very real, because it looks like that restaurant
where Anzu works at. In fact... Isn't that Anzu passing by? It is! I
followed her and she stopped when she noticed I was following her. "Is
there something wrong Yugi," she asked. I shook my head and looked at my
surroundings to see the others: Joey, Tristan, and Ryou. I sat down on a
stool and noticed that I was sitting next to Mai. She looked at my way
and noticed me by asking, "Hey Yugi, how's it going?" I told her I was
doing well and I asked a waiter for a glass of water. The waiter turned
around, who revealed himself to be Rex Raptor. I was shocked by this and
tried to ignore what I had just seen, because he looked funny as a
waiter.
Rex handed me the water and continued serving the other customers.
Just then, the door opened and I couldn't believe whom I was seeing at
the door. It was Kaiba and Mokuba! They looked angered at something.
Then I realized something... If they're here, then who's operating the
virtual game machine? They walked towards me and sat down beside me. I
asked Kaiba what they were doing here and he told me that he was forced
here against his will, that someone had dragged him along. The door
opened again, but it was a slouching man who seemed to be twitching. Rex
had stopped to look at the person and then walked towards him. The man
looked up and was staring into Rex's eyes with a haunting look.
"Weevil?," asked Rex in shock. 'Weevil' had jumped on Rex and bit his
neck, tearing off a chunk of skin off of Rex's neck and Rex had pushed
him out of the door. He locked the door and dropped to the floor while
the blood was pouring out of his neck.
Joey yelled, "We have to get out of here!" I noticed a handgun by
my side and took it with me. I stood up and looked around. I noticed the
others trying to open a door, but it seemed to be locked. There has to
be a key for that door somewhere. Just then, I noticed that Ryou had
taken out a set of lockpicks and began to pick the lock carefully.
While Ryou was trying to pick the lock, 'Weevil' and many more people
that were under his condition had broken down the door and went after
the helpless Rex. He could do nothing but stare and accept his fate.
"Got it," exclaimed Ryou and opened the door. I couldn't bear to watch
the zombies devour Rex and I ran into the room they all entered.
The room had led to stairs that led to the second floor. We all
ran up the stairs and a zombie had bursted through a window halfway up
the stairs. We avoided it and made it to the second floor. We walked
around until we found a locker room. Anzu remembered that she had left
something there so she ran in there. Once again, another locked door
was found and it was up to Ryou to unlock the door. We all split up to
find anything that can help us. I looked around the area and found a
nail gun lying on a desk. I took it with me and found some wood nearby
the nail gun. Just then, a loud thud from the first floor was heard.
It seems that the zombies had busted through the door that led to this
floor! I looked at where we entered and found a place to block the
zombies off with the wood. I grabbed some wooden boards and ran to the
stairs and began to put them up, but it was impossible for me to do it
alone. Joey came and helped me with the boards and we sealed off the
stairs together.
I heard a click from where Ryou was and he shouted that the door
was unlocked. Everyone had gathered at the door and I noticed that
everyone had found some form of weapon. Kaiba and Mokuba found
handguns, Tristan had a spear, Joey had a iron pipe, Anzu had a flame
spray, and Mai found herself a shotgun. Ryou was the only one that
was vulnerable. We opened the door and found more stairs. We ran up
the stairs and found ourselves on the third floor, which was some sort
of wine cellar. I found a door just right next to where the entrance
to the third floor was and I entered it with Ryou and Joey following
me. It was a liquor room with a lot of empty bottles lying on the
floor. I searched the room carefully and found a key labeled
'Forklift.' I heard another thud, which was just outside of this room.
Then, there was banging on the door that led to the room. I took aim
at the door and waited.
The doorknob opened and a bloody Rex walked in, limping and
stretching his arms out towards us like a zombie. I shut my eyes and
fired a few round at Rex. I ran out of the room without looking at his
body and followed the corridor until I found myself in front of a
forklift. I used the forklift key to turn it on. I noticed to my right
that there was a stack of boxes on top of the forklift. I flipped the
switch and the forklift had lifted the boxes to make an emergency path.
Mai and Anzu had found stairs that led to the emergency path and told us
all to hurry up and go through it. We all followed them and as we looked
down, we noticed a group of zombies gathering below us as we crawled to
safety. The emergency path led to stairs, which led to the roof of the
restaurant. Everyone walked out onto the roof, but I noticed a key,
sitting on a rusty desk. I grabbed it and ran out. I noticed that all my
friends were being pecked by crows which seemed to be infected with the
virus.
Anzu seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. A crow was
pecking her, forcing her to step back towards the edge of the roof. I
tried to reach her before she fell off, but it was too late. She slipped
and fell off... Meaning... She's dead... Tristan managed to kill one of
the crows attacking him, but his wounds were too much for him to handle.
He limped into a corner, rested against the wall while bleeding, and
called me over. I ran to him quickly and he asked me for my handgun.
Joey and the rest of them managed to kill off the crows and they watched
Tristan carefully. Tristan began to talk about weird things, about him
dying and feeling the hunger for blood. He grabbed my handgun and shot
himself in the heart. Joey stared as Tristan's dead arm dropped to the
floor. "TRISTAN!" shouted Joey. He dropped to his knees and began to
sob. I walked up to Tristan's body and took back my handgun. I took a
few steps away towards Joey until I heard Tristan's body moving. I
turned around quickly to find Tristan's eyes open quickly, revealing
extremely bright, blue eyes. Tristan had went through the transformation
of becoming a zombie and became one of them. He quickly rose to his feet
and walked towards us. Joey was still on his knees in shock as Tristan
was walking towards him. Tristan grabbed Joey and was about to bite Joey
until he realized what was going on and began to beat Tristan's head
with his iron pipe until the head come off. Joey slowly walked towards
the edge of the roof and threw up in disgust.
