Resident Z 2: Search for a cure!
-beep-...-beep-
"Hello?"
"Hi!"
"Is this Goku?"
"No, but he's next to me!"
"Oh, are you a kidnapper? I can't afford to pay a ransom right now I'm afraid, I have to wait for my money from my mum!"
"No I'm not a kidnapper, I'm his friend."
"Oh that's good, well...why did you call me?"
"Because you need to meet us in the main hall. It's urgent"
"Ok then, hold tight I will be right there."
-beep-...-beep-
Trunks looked up at the upper levels of the station while handing to radio out for Goku. When he let go thinking he had hold of it he heard a crash as it hit the floor.
"Goku?" He turned round, he wasn't moving and his eyes were closed. "Damn!"
He knelt down and shook him trying to get a response. Finally, he stirred.
"Thank Kami…"
He wiped his forehead with his sleeve, while dodging around the bullet hole, which was starting to dry up.
"Maybe I should find a hospital around here for you?"
"No…" Goku struggled to speak. "It's suicide out there, besides I had worse."
Trunks looked at him, then blankly said.
"Erm...I don't think that's true is it?"
"Well...IT COULD BE!" Goku shouted then held his head, as the strain hurt him.
"Just take it easy alright, maybe I could go and get some senzu beans from Korin for you? That should heal up your head wound and put you back on your feet in no time at all!"
Trunks stood up and went over to the main door, then just as he was about to open it, he heard a crash.
"Trunks!"
He turned and ran to Goku,
"What was that crash?"
"I think it came from one of the upper levels." Goku pointed to the level above them.
"Ok, should I go and check it out, or should I wait to hear your plan?"
"Go and check it out, I will tell Mika my plan then when you return I will repeat it. This concerns me more."
"Right"
Trunks flew up to the upper level and landed on the floor. Looking round he could only see zombies flailing around. So he went through the nearby door. Assuming from the lack of brain power that the zombies had, it must have come from behind one of the doors.
The corridor was a dark, greyish green, with another door on the right and a corner leading to a great fire burning.
"Typical" He laughed and walked around the corner to look at it, "So the noise was just a helicopter crashing".
He gasped back as two zombies came out of the flames and towards him. He grabbed the first ones head and broke it's neck, then grabbed the second one's, then just before he crushed his head, a third zombie came up behind him and bit his shoulder.
"DAMN!" He grabbed its head with his other hand and smashed the two zombies heads together.
"Ouch..." He looked at his bleeding shoulder then thought of what will happen to him.
"Sorry Goku..." He sat down in the corner of the corridor and curled up holding his shoulder and taking deep breaths.
"Trunks?" Goten came out of a vent nearby and crawled over to him. "Whats up?"
He looked upset as he tried to get a reply.
"Nothing!" Trunks pushed him away forcefully, this caused Goten to squint his eyes, then they began to water.
"Just don't come near me, your father is downstairs in the main hall. Go to him!"
Goten sighed, wiped his eyes and stood up, he patted Trunks' shoulder then hugged him. Trunks did not pay attention, Goten came away and went through the door where Trunks had come from earlier.
"Why me?"
Trunks closed his eyes. Then suddenly he heard a scream coming from behind the crash.
"What's that?"
He looked up opening his eyes then walked over to the fire, he stood and watched the flames blazing then went to the other door he had seen on his right. It was another green corridor but with at least a dozen windows, with a corpse beneath one of them.
"Birds..."
He picked up a feather that was lying beside it. He walked cautiously towards the door on the opposite side of the corridor, when a hoard of crows smashed through the windows and towards him. He sprinted to the door and slammed it behind him.
He had appeared at the other end of the crashed helicopter. Looking up he noticed a conveniently placed water tank, flying up, he punched a hole in the side and watched the water flood out onto the fire.
After a while it died down and he went to pull out some of the remains of the helicopter so that he could climb through that way and avoid the crows. He stopped and stepped out looking into the sky as he heard another helicopter fly over and drop a crate into what looked like the corridor where he had just been with the crows in.
"I may be nosy ... but I'm not that nosy!"
He shuddered at the thought of looking at what was in the crate. He then carried on pulling away bits of helicopter.
"Goku!"
Mika dropped an emergency ladder down from the upper level and climbed down. As she got to the bottom the door above here bashed off its hinges and fell down to the bottom level nearly hitting her in the process.
"Quick!" Goku hobbled up "over here!"
He beckoned her over and she held onto him as he stepped up to here.
"Stay quiet, not even one word".
"Right" she shivered.
They both carefully stepped back and watched the empty door frame above. A large bald figure in a green raincoat stepped out. Mika opened her mouth trying to speak but couldn't find the words.
"It's time to go" Goku said as he put his fingers on his forehead, he used instant translocation and took them both next to the ladder, this way they wouldn't be seen by the figure lurking above.
"How...?" Goku put his hand over her mouth and listened to the footsteps above him. They died down and eventually stopped.
"Go!"
Goku grabbed Mika's arm and ran to the double doors at the other end of the hall and ran through closing the door firmly behind them. Mika pulled free and dropped to her knees.
"I've seen zombies, skinned creatures and moulding dogs, but he is by far the one who has made me gasp for breath the most."
"Strangely I should be used to it, after seeing Vegeta and my wife in the morning...but I guess he was kind of surprisingly terrifying."
"Wife?"
"Yeah"
"What's she called? I know it's not the time but I want to try and take my mind off what just happened."
"Chichi"
Goku looked at ceiling.
"That's nice, I have a boyfriend..."
She sat there waiting for Goku to ask her a question or even reply but he just ignored her. She huffed then spoke.
"So what's this plan?"
"Well it's nothing really spectacular, but I heard that there is a sewer entrance around her somewhere and if we were to split up we could find it. All the sewer's in this place seem to hook up to the railway and that can be your escape route."
"What do you mean mine? What about you?"
"I can't go yet, I have too much to do. I have to find a cure for the virus, a cure for Vegeta and I have to settle the score with Rotory."
He clenched his fists at the name.
"Hey!" She stood up. "Lighten up! I know it's not possible but at least try. I'm going to look around for that sewer entrance and in the mean time you lie down on that bench and rest your wounds. Eventually your friend will come back from where ever he is and then you will be fine and dandy!"
"I'm beginning to worry actually … he's been gone for a while."
"Well if I see him in the process then I will tell him off for making you worry!"
"Be careful" Goku smiled.
"I will, now get some rest." She exited the room through a different door in which they entered with.
