"I bet zombies did this!" Milo exclaimed, as they made their way to the gate.
"Your not good at mysteries, ate you?" Hermes asked.
Milo opened the gate, than said, "yes I am! Look!" he pointed down the street where an army of the living dead where advancing toward them, "ya know, I just red a book on this. Ironic huh?"
"can you kill them?" Hermes frantically asked.
"Technically, you can't kill them. Th-"
"ahem," Kino cut him off, "do you know how to stop them?" she sounded at the stranger's smart-assess.
"Yah," Milo said looking hurt, than a taking out a heavy looking double-barreled shot gun, a smile came accost his face, "one shot to the head with this!" he loaded the gun, coked, and aimed. With perfect precision blew one of their heads off.
"Wouldn't that kill any thing?" Hermes asked in a disgruntled voice.
Bang! Another one fell it's brain slating accost the one behind it's face. (if you can call a pile of rotting flesh on a partly broken skull, with one eye gone and the other hanging slightly out of the socket a face)
"Uh.." Milo said searching threw his pack.
"What?" Hermes asked
"I only had two shots.." he said childishly, looking upset at knowing he couldn't explode any more zombie heads.
"You only had two rounds!" Hermes exclaimed rather annoyed at him.
"Hey, I haven't checked my ammo since my last stop at the other country!"
"That's enough Milo!" the silent motorad finally spoke in an irritated tone, "now is not the time to argue with that annoyance, just find the ammo store and get some more!"
"fha.." Milo said and kick started her, "let's go."
Kino fallowed behind them on Hermes, Sora barking at the zombies as they past by. they came upon the weapons shop and had to go around back because of the thick crowed of zombies that were blocking the entrance to the building.
"How are we going to get in Kino?" Hermes asked worried for his human friend.
"there." Kino pointed to a basement door that looked as if it had never been used. covered in dust and dirt, it was partly moldy and looked as if the hinges would fall off if you touched it.
"Kino," Hermes said tiring to turn around but without balance he couldn't, "do you know what is in basements and cellars?"
"to bad, let's go, before we get killed." she gestured her head toward the dead that was surprisingly coming closer quite fast, faster than normal zombies that is!
"humm, the map said," Milo said stopping and tacking out the map of the town that he had in his pocket, "that this place is supposed to be the center of the holidays in this area.." he stood up and threw the map on the ground and said "you lied to me."
"Ashetaka Hikari! Now is not the time!" Sapphire scolded once more.
"Right!" he said and looked around to see Kino going down in to the basement. "hey Kino weight for me!" he grabbed Sapphire and followed.
"Milo close the doors and barricade them." Kino instructed him.
"wow it is dark in here!" Milo said quite loudly so that his voice echoed among the broken boxes and trash that littered the floor.
The room had shelves that were dilapidated. Some of the storage boxes were covered with tarps as if it were going to rain in the cold underground storage unit. the stares that led up to the shop area also looked like they were about to fall apart.
Kino started to take the tarps off of the boxes and searching for ammo of strong guns and a little extra for her guns when, for when they hit the road. Milo joined in and the two motorads kept there head lights on for them to see there work.
When the two hand an adequate amount of ammo they packed it away and turned the motorads to the other side of the large area.
Kino lifted up a few more lids to the boxes and found a page to what looked like a diary.
"Milo come here. "she said. as he approached she continued by reading the page, "December 3, My home town has just been struck with a deadly disease, because of it my wife has died. the police said that this is the largest death count since the revolution. I can only hope that the sickness doesn't affect me as well." she paused and made out the second entry, "December 7, some weird things are happening, the mayor that died two days ago was spotted with my wife by their graves, I do not know what these things are but the people are supposedly coming back from the dead, Unfortunately I am sick and dieing fast. this might be my last entry."
Kino and Milo looked at each other in the dust faded light of the head light. Sora started to bark loudly and whining.
"Sora what is it?" Milo said and looked in the direction that the dog was, toward the door to the outside. the door was being slammed in from the creatures on the other side.
Kino ran up the steeps to the door and tried the handle, while Milo searched threw boxes for anything he could find.
"It's locked!" She said coming back down the dilapidated stares.
Milo found something that seamed worth while, it in fact was. Out of a long big box he hauled out a rocket launcher.
"stand back Kino!" he said as he loaded it and fired, blasting the door down as the creatures came threw the cellar door. "let's go!" Milo grabbed sapphire and carefully rolled her up the rotten stares, and Kino followed.
"Kino grab ammo and let's head for the roof!" Hermes shouted over the notice of the creatures in the room below.
she nodded and grabbed more ammo, as Milo did the same. as the zombies came closer the four of them made it threw the door that led it to the roof and barricaded themselves up and the zombies down in the store.
