Chapter 4: Outbreak

Bakura's POV

I swear that baka must have been retarded to not know to look at both sides of the street before crossing. Well that's what he gets. I stepped out in the open and looked both ways and then stepped completely on the street. As I walked around, I heard loud moans coming from the direction that the truck came from. Moaning could only mean one thing, zombies of course. The rest of the group followed me quickly as soon as they heard the noise. Suddenly, the zombies came walking towards us quickly. They kept coming at us in a large group, like in a group of thirty this time. Good thing that we have more people on our side. Many began to start shooting away at the zombies. Five zombies approached me and I took out a dagger to fight them off. One of them tried to jump on me, but I quickly moved aside and stabbed it in the head multiple times. Then two more grabbed me from behind. I managed to stab one in the head while Marik blew off the other's head. I ran at the other zombies who were blocking my way and slashed at them until they lying on the floor.
By the time I was done, all the zombies lied dead on the ground. I found a lighter beside me and looked at the truck, which gave me an idea. I picked up the lighter, ran to the truck, cut a hole in the truck to cause the gasoline to leak, and tossed the lit lighter while running to the others on the gasoline. "Jump in the river," I yelled to the others, "the truck is going to blow!" Yugi, Mai, Kaiba, Mokuba, and Joey jumped in quickly after I told them to and I followed. The Rare Hunters were jumping in one at a time, but Strings had stayed behind because on of the supposedly 'dead' zombies grabbed his leg and knocked him down while biting him to death. The truck blew up and everyone on ground was blown up as a result of the explosion.

Marik's POV

"Damn it! Strings is dead too! Who's gonna die next? We need all the help we can get," shouted Joey. I looked around as we were all in the river and found a tunnel that lead into the sewers. I went in and told everyone to follow. I went in and found a lot of herbs lying on the floor. I picked it up and mixed all together to make some medicine. Nobody knows this, but while I was still in Egypt as a child, I read some books on botany. Interesting book I'd have to say. Anyway, I walked towards the end path straight ahead of me and accidentally tripped after walking over a gap that I missed seeing. I quickly got up before anyone saw and looked to my left to find a letter that leads to the ground. I ran towards the ladder and shouted to everyone, telling them that I found an exit to the ground. I climbed up the ladder and when I surfaced from the sewers, I found several citizens that were very much human and the police. I ran towards them and waited for about ten minutes for the others to arrive.
The police officer there told us that there would be no reinforcements and that all the survivors needed to evacuate. The officer had us all go into a security truck and ride in there. The problem with this was that for every turn, a barricade blocked it, so we were forced to escape on foot. We got off the truck and the officer was kind enough to offer some weapons to protect ourselves. Everyone managed to grab some sort of firearm and we were ready to go. I ran behind an apartment building and into an alley that led to the border of the city. First, we had to run up some stairs that led to a bridge that would take us to the other side. About halfway across the bridge, I notice an immense group of zombies heading into the town. It was so huge; I would have to go with a guess of a thousand zombies right now. Below us were three police officers that were trying to arm some sort of bomb while holding off the zombies with barricades. The officer trying to construct the bomb was trembling and was having difficulty with making it. After the bomb was armed, the zombies were able to knock over the barricades and chased the officers. Of course, they were being devoured, but one of them had managed to survive after running away. I was not about to die here, so I jumped off the bridge, landed on my feet, took out a pair of machineguns, and shot as many zombies as I could. By the time I was out, only about fifty of them were dead. "I'm screwed...It's over for me," I said. They were walking towards me until a large group of zombie's heads was suddenly decapitated with bullets. All of the survivors had made it in time to fight them off. I tossed aside my machineguns and took out my Millennium Rod. I decided that it was time that I turn our enemies against each other.

Bakura's POV

Marik was luckily saved thanks to us, so now we have to find a way to get rid of them all. I looked around carefully to find something that could be used to kill all the zombies off. Barely missing it, I managed to find a bomb that required someone to push the switch to set it off. "Cover me," I shouted as I went for the bomb. Many of the zombies tried to attack, but most of them were shot while Marik took control of them with his Millennium Rod. Suddenly, I thought of something. "Yugi, Arcana! Toss over your Dark Magician cards," I shouted. Arcana tossed his Dark Magician card while Yugi searched for his. "I can't find it," he said, "but I do have my Magician of Black Chaos!" That'll work I told him and he tossed it my way. I used the power of my Millennium Ring to summon both of the monsters. They were attacking the zombies with their rods and I managed to grab the bomb. "Duck and cover," I shouted and I pushed the button for the bomb. Seconds latter, all the zombies were flying in all directions and losing limbs. I love exploding zombies...
