Chapter Three: A Narrow Escape (not for all though)
A/N: I'm glad that you all like it. Anyways, I'm typing this up faster than I am with my other unfinished fanfics. This chapter is bloody, gory and has a ton of undead. Just a warning incase some of you don't like it, (yeah right). Anyways, enjoy.
Joey, Duke, and Tristan were sitting on Joey's couch in his living room playing a racing game on the TV. All three boys weren't aware of their present situation going on outside. So far the undead corpses were spreading to Joey's place, the Domino Mall, Kaiba Mansion, and the Kame Turtle Game Shop. For the past couple of minutes, the boys were arguing about who won the last race when Joey heard something outside.
"Man, shuddup you two," he said to his friends and peered out the window very slowly. As he looked, a person was walking down the road with a limp. "Hey guys, check this out, it's nearly midnight and this guy thinks that he's going to take a midnight walk. Can you believe that?" he asked with his New York/Boston accent dripping with each word he spoke.
Tristan and Duke both looked and saw that Joey was right. "Wow, kudos to Joey for being right," Tristan teased, unaware that Joey was going to clobber him at any moment.
Duke grinned and then noticed the guy's limp. "Dudes, he doesn't look so good, maybe we should take him to the hospital?" Duke asked as he turned away from the window to see Joey and Tristan wrestle.
Joey blinked and let go of Tristan's head and looked back outside. "You right, maybe we should. C'mon let's go see if he needs our help," Joey said and went to his front door to go outside. Duke and Tristan followed closely. Joey nodded to his friends and opened up the door. Joey stepped out and accidentally stepped on a cat's tail. It yowled and scratched his leg to make him release its hurt tail. "Ow, fucking cat scratched me," he complained.
Duke rolled his eyes and went to the man. "Hey dude are you okay?" he asked as he placed a hand on the guy's shoulder. The guy stopped walking and turned to face Duke. Half of his face was torn clean away from him. Duke pulled his hand away and started walking backwards.
"What the hell?" Tristan asked as he watched Duke back away from the half faced man. "Is that a zombie?" he wondered and pulled Duke even further away from the rotting corpse.
The corpse groaned that its meal was being pulled away from him and lunged at the three teenagers. The scattered and Joey felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw another zombie. Joey screamed and struggled against the zombie's gripped. The zombie came in for a bite and was stopped short on account that its head was missing. Tristan pulled his fist away and looked around for Duke.
Duke's arm was grabbed and bitten into. As he screamed in pain, he saw that a big chunk was missing and blood squirted from the wound. The zombie leaned in for another bite, its face and head getting sprayed by the oozing blood. Duke hit the zombie away and cradled his arm close to his chest as his favorite black shirt was bloodied up from the wound. "Fuck, that piece of shit bit me," he shouted to his friends and the three of them fought their way to Duke's car. Joey hopped in the driver's seat and with Duke's bloody keys, started the engine and drove away from their attackers.
Tristan was in the back seat with his friend and ripped part of his shirt in order to bind Duke's wound. "If that piece of shit went any higher, he would've ripped your arm right off. Just be thankful that it didn't, either wise we would be wrapping up more than a forearm," he said as he tied the bandage and started to clean the blood off of his hands on Duke's leather seat.
Duke wiped away the remaining blood of his arm and saw Tristan wipe his hands on the seats. "Stop that, those are brand fucking new seats too," he complained as Joey drove past the Domino Museum. "Hey, isn't that where that's psycho's sister works?" Duke asked as he pointed with his good arm to the surrounding building.
Joey nodded and circled the building once. "Yup and there is no fucking way that I'm going to stop with all of these stiffs around. You want more bites?" he asked as he looked at Duke through the rearview mirror. Duke shook his head. "Thought so. Come on, maybe we can get the others before those freaks get them," Joey said as he shifted gears and sped away from the surrounding building to Yugi's house.

At the Domino Mall…
Mai, Tea and Serenity were all out shopping because Mai is a shopoholic and Tea was bored. Serenity didn't want to have to clean up after her brother and his friends until they were either asleep or gone so she went with her friends to the mall to hang out and shop. None of the girls knew what was going on outside of the doors of the huge mall or what dangers they faced if the hungry undead came after them.
Mai sat down at a table in the food court and set her bags down. "The last time I went power shopping, it was a week ago. Besides, all of the sales hit big for some reason and I'm attracted to the sales," Mai said as she looked through her many bags at her feet.
Tea narrowed her eyes in a sly look. "You mean that you're more attracted to them than you are with Joey?" she asked the blonde. Mai blushed and turned her head slightly to look at a fake tree in the court.
Serenity giggled as she remembered that Mai and Joey were going steady for the past couple of months. "I think that the attraction is even at this moment. Besides, she wouldn't put something like shopping in front of a boy friend, would you?" the innocent girl asked Mai.
Mai ignored every question that was shot to her until she started to blush. Tea couldn't help but laugh as the tall blonde blushed and hid her face. Serenity looked at her watch and gasped. "Oh no, I was suppose to be home an hour ago. Joey's going to kill me if I don't get home right now," she said as she picked up her bags. Mai and Tea nodded and left the closing mall.
As the three girls put their bags in Mai's convertible, people two parking spaces down from them were talking about the news. "And then his head was pulled off as if it was a doll's head. The camera screen got bloody and the station went off the air. It happened not too long ago. I think that we had better go somewhere where none of those things get us and we turn out to be like the news anchor or one of them," a teenaged guy said as his friends nodded and drove off.
"What were they talking about?" Tea asked as she hopped in the backseat of the car and waited for her friends to climb in. Mai shrugged and started the car. Serenity climbed in the passenger side and buckled up. Tea looked back at the disappearing car with the teenagers in it. "Maybe they were pulling a prank," she mumbled as Mai backed up and drove out of the parking lot.
Serenity looked scared as she felt the wind go through her hair as Mai was driving. Mai came to a red light and stopped like she was suppose to but saw people with limps, missing arms, legs and chunks torn out of them come close to the car from alleyways, abandoned building and down chaos torn roads. "What the hell? I thought that Halloween wasn't for a couple of months. Do you guys know what's going on?" Mai asked as she tried not to lose her dinner.
The two girls shook their heads and continued to watch the disfigured people as they came closer and closer. None of them realized that the light turned green again and that a zombie was reaching out to grab Tea from the back seat. It slowly reached it hand out and grab her hair and pulled her to the side of the car. Tea gasped as she felt the zombie pull her and screamed when it bite down on her throat, ripping it out.
Serenity turned around and watched in horror as Tea was pulled out of the car and eaten by the zombies. Mai also saw this and was about to get out of the car when a zombie reached for her. "I don't think so, maggot face," she said and drove the car around the group still eating Tea. As she climbed out, the zombies backed away from Tea and came after them. Mai and Serenity both could see Tea's body, her eyes and mouth opened with in shock and her body had bite marks and chunks missing from it. Blood oozing out of her told her friends that she was dead.
Mai saw the zombies come closer and drove away. Serenity looked back and cried. "We have to go back, Tea might still be alive," she said through her tears.
Mai shook her head and also felt her eyes sting with tears. "She's dead, Serenity. Her throat's been ripped out and there is no way that someone can survive that," she said as she passed several more zombies. "We have to find the others and tell them that Tea's dead. Here, try and call Joey. He can call the others and we can meet them all somewhere safe," Mai said handing Serenity the phone.
Serenity dialed her home number but the call didn't go through. "It's not going through," she said as she tried Yugi's number and Ryou's number. Still, the calls wouldn't go through.
Mai gripped the steering wheel hard and drove past the white haired boys apartment. "Looks like they got here too, but I don't see Ryou or Bakura anywhere," Mai mumbled.
Serenity nodded and looked up after something hit her shoulder. "Look there they are. Up on that rooftop," she said pointing to where the tomb robber and his hikari were. Ryou motioned to a one-story home for Mai to drive down there and he and Bakura jumped from rooftop to rooftop to the house.
Mai drove down and waited for her friends to get in her car. Serenity kept watch for anymore of the hungry zombies as Ryou and Bakura jumped from the rooftop to the street below. "Thanks for coming to pick us up," Ryou said and he and Bakura got in the bloody convertible. "What happened here?" Ryou asked as he sat down away from the blood.
Mai hung her head and drove the car away from the zombie infested street. "Tea was killed by those things," Serenity said as she wiped her eyes. Ryou hung his head and Bakura looked to the passing background of chaos and death.
"This thing is spreading faster than wildfire," he said as he saw burning cars and bloodstained roads.
A/N: Okay, except for the Kaiba brothers, everyone knows about the attacking dead. Keep reviewing and I'll keep updating.
