Running holding hands, two high school girls were running away in the halls of the school.

"Come on, faster Toshimi." Her friend urged her, noting that she was starting to slow down.

"I… I run as fast as I can." She assured, trying to speed up a bit. "But, where should we go, Mizusu?"

" First, we have to reach the ground floor. " His friend told him. " Then, we will go through an emergency exit! At this time, the main door must be blocked by all the students who went there! We can't get there anymore. "

Listening to him, Toshimi finally approves before affirming.

" I am very happy to be with you. "

" Hey, aren't we friends for life ? " Mizusu questioned, winking at him.

" Of course … " Starting Toshimi.

She fell silent suddenly, feeling a hand grab her by her ankle. Looking down, she noticed that a zombie was crawling up the steps of a staircase, which she was about to pass. Having seized his prey, he pulled it violently towards him. Surprised, the young girl felt herself fall to the ground, and banged her head against a step. Stunned, she was starting to see blurry as the zombie continued to bring its leg back towards him.

" Toshimi! Toshimi! " She could hear.

" What is happening ? "

Seeing that her friend was starting to go unconscious, Mizusu pulled on her arm to pull her back to her. But it was without taking into account the strength of his opponent, which was far superior to his. Arriving in turn behind her, three other zombies were surrounding her.

" But that … ? " She wondered, turning her gaze all around her.

Noticing then that there was no zombie on her right, she began to look at her friend who was about to be bitten and her hand which continued to squeeze her arm. It was at that moment that a bad idea formed in his mind. Squeezing her lips, she began to mumble while letting go of her grip.

" Sorry, Toshimi. "

Abandon him then, she pretended to leave, when she heard.

" KUNG FU POINT ! "

Mizusu barely had time to look away when she saw the body of a zombie fly up into the air, with a hoof mark on the back of its head. He collapsed heavily on one of his comrades, while Mizusu froze when he saw a strange figure at his friend's feet. This figure belonged to a kind of little sumo, covered with brown fur, having hooves instead of hands and antlers on the head. With clothes on, he looked like some kind of human having merged with an animal.

" But what ...? " Mizusu wondered, seeing him.

The being suddenly gave a war cry before rushing towards her. Paralyzed, the young girl could only put her arms in front of her face in the hope of protecting the latter. Nevertheless, it was like a breath that the creature's hoof brushed her cheek before plunging into the face of one of the zombies behind her. Continuing on its way, sumo leaned against the ground before smashing the chin of a new opponent. Wanting to attack him from behind, an undead tried to grab him. But, stupid as he was, he couldn't do anything, when his opponent used his speed to get behind him. Kicking it hard, he sent it waltzing against a window, which exploded on impact. Unable to keep his balance,

Seeing that there were no more enemies, the little sumo ended up pushing a long exhalation in order to regain his composure.

" Phew! It was easier than expected. "

Not knowing if he was really an ally, Mizusu stuttered as he backed away slightly.

" Uh, are you ...? "

She fell silent, seeing her savior transform. In front of it smaller, it didn't look like a sumo player at all. Still humanoid in appearance, he still had antlers on his head and hooves for his hands. However, much thinner than earlier, he now had the face of a much cuter animal. He was wearing a blue cap on his head and also a white and yellow vertical striped tank top and orange shorts. On his back he also had a blue backpack.

Having finished transforming, he stared at Mizusu before asking him.

" Are you OK ? "

" Uh ... yes, yes! " She asserted.

Giving him a quick glance, the animal then walked over to Toshimi, who was still resting on the stairs. Breathing heavily, her eyes opened slightly as blood flowed from a wound to her forehead. Preferring to deal with the latter later, his rescuer lingered on his leg and checked that it had no injuries. Finally, it was with a sigh of relief that he affirmed.

" She was not bitten. "

Realizing that he didn't mean any harm to him, Mizusu approached him before asking him.

" Uh ... excuse me but ... who are you? "

Not addressing him any look, the animal slid his bag on the ground before taking out a vial of medicine and bandages. Positioning himself in front of Toshimi's head, he began to tend to his forehead injury. It was only when he began his work that he declared.

" My name is Chopper! I am a doctor. "

" Doctor ? " Mizusu wondered. " But, are you human or ...? "

" No, I am above all an animal! More precisely, I am a reindeer. "

" A reindeer ? "

She was about to ask him a question about his sudden transformation when she began to stare at the corpses of the zombies lying on the ground. A little more and she and Toshimi would surely have been bitten.

As a result, she bowed her head in front of Chopper before declaring.

" Thank you very much for saving us, my friend and me. "

" Friend ? " Chopper repeated, finally turning a glance in her direction. " It's your friend ? "

" Yes ! She is my best friend and… "

" In that case, why did you let go of his hand? " Chopper asked him.

The girl then fell silent, noting that the animal had seen him abandon her before saving them.

" If this person is your friend then why were you going to run away without them? " Wanted to know Chopper, raising his voice. " If she really meant to you, why didn't you fight to the end to save her, huh ? "

Faced with this sudden change of character, Mizusu could not but say.

" I… could not have done anything! I am a weak person! "

" Even weak, a person can always do something to save his friends! Chopper retorted! Or, at least, can try to save him, fighting with all his might! This is how it works with my friends and me. "

Glaring at her, he asserted.

" If it is for them to abandon them, it is not worth having friends! You are only a …"

He fell silent suddenly, seeing the young girl start to cry before falling to her knees in front of him.

" So … Sorry. " She gasped. " I'm sorry ! I… I didn't want her to die! But I ... I was really scared! I didn't know what to do. "

Watching her sob, Chopper couldn't help but blame himself for being hard on her. Afterwards, the girl really didn't seem to be able to fight and the sudden appearance of these monsters must have made her somewhat hysterical. Preferring not to continue lecturing her, he asked.

" Do you know where I could take her so that she can rest ? "

Wiping away her tears, Mizusu told him.

" There ... There is the infirmary! But it's crawling with monsters all over the school! We will not be able to be quiet. "

"A infirmary?" Repeated Chopper. "In that case, let's go at least to collect some medicine! We will surely need it for…"

"Misuzu!" Suddenly someone called him.

Slowly raising her head, Toshimi was getting up, resting a hand on her forehead nonetheless.

"Toshimi." Mizusu rejoices, literally jumping on her. "Are you okay?"

"Hey, slowly." Chopper ordered him. "I remind you that she…"

"I'm sorry." Suddenly cried the young girl, hugging her friend against her. "I am very sorry! Forgive me, Toshimi! Excuse me!"

Not really understanding the reason for his apologies, the young girl instead tried to regain her senses. It was in the middle of one of the corpses of the zombies that she remembered the scene.

"The zombies attacked us." She mumbled. "Then they pulled me up to them and I hit myself! But then…"

She looked at her friend before asking her.

"What happened next?"

Lowering his gaze then, Mizusu was about to confess the truth to him when Chopper intervenes.

" Don't fear anything! I have come to save you! My name is Chopper. "

Toshimi's gaze then fell on the small bipedal animal in front of him. Just seeing his gaze, it was obvious that she was surprised to see a being as strange as him who could speak. Yet his first words were.

" She is too cute ... this plush. "

" I am not a plush. " Said the little doctor.

Suddenly he began to waddle slightly before saying, turning his head to the side, to escape her gaze.

" And I'm not cute either. "

" Did you really save us ? " Toshimi asked.

Before he had time to answer her, she suddenly grabbed him before hugging him.

" Thank you very much, Choppy. "

" Hey, let me go. " Ordered the doctor.

" It's not a dog, Toshimi. " Mizusu informed him. " In fact, how come you can talk? "

Stopping to struggle, the little reindeer began to think about how he was going to list things. He had only been here for a quarter of an hour. However, this was enough for him to realize that this place was very strange. Whether it was the building, the objects and the style of dress the students he had met so far wore, everything seemed to show that this place was different from the world he knew. He had no idea if he was still on his home planet, but he was seriously starting to doubt it. Finally, he asked.

" Have you ever heard of Grand and Red Line? "

Looking at each other with equal synchronization, the two girls finally stared at him before shaking their heads at the same time.

" And do you know who is Gold D. Roger ? "

Again, the two girls began to shake their heads negatively.

" That is what I thought ! We are no longer on our home planet! So where are we? "

Seeing him getting lost in his mind, Mizusu preferred to put off his questions and asked him.

" Chopper, what should we do ? "

" Let's go to the infirmary. " He decided. " Then we will go find the others. "

" Others ? " Repeated Toshimi. " Do you think there are other survivors ? "

" Surely ! And I hope we can also meet my friends! I'm sure Nami or Robin will be what to do. "

With those words, he suddenly transformed. Falling onto his front legs, they began to grow as his body lengthened. Under the stunned eyes of the two girls, they transformed into a large reindeer.

" Go up. " He advised them. " We will go faster like that. "

Despite the fact that she was witnessing her third transformation, Mizusu was speechless. On the contrary, Toshimi began to scream in admiration and even dared to run his face over Chopper's fur.

" It's too good! In addition, it is very soft. "

" Hey, stop that and hurry up. " The animal ordered him, more and more embarrassed by the girl's compliments.

Not hesitating for a second, Toshimi immediately climbed onto his back.

" You come ? " She asked, to Mizusu.

Not sure if she might have that right, she looked at Chopper. The latter's gaze then fell on her. Then, after a few seconds, he finally nodded to assure her that she could come.

" Thank you very much. " She thanked, taking her friend's hand to help her up.

As soon as she had settled in, the reindeer galloped off and started running in the halls.

" It is about doing quickly. " He announced. " As soon as we have the medicines, I will try to get you to safety before I go looking for the others. "

" Why did you save us ? " Mizusu suddenly questioned, whose arms wrapped around her friend's waist.

" Huh? "

" You don't know us. " She noticed. " We could very well be hostile to you! So why did you save us without hesitation? "

" I am a doctor. " He reminded her. " My role is therefore to help all the people I meet! I will heal anyone who gets hurt, even my enemies! And then, I would have blamed myself for letting two girls get killed without reacting. "

Reassured by his words, Toshimi put his hands around his neck before snuggling up to him.

" Thank you very much, Choppy. "

" It's Chopper. "

Hidden in the school toilets, when the wave of high school students had engulfed all the corridors, Kohta finally came out of his hiding place, as soon as he was sure he was no longer risking anything. Because of his large build and small size, it was true that the boy could not have won against the others in this death race. Quite easily influenced, he found it preferable to let the stronger ones come first before coming on in his turn.

" Phew! " He sighed, realizing that he was all alone. " A little more and I literally got carried away by this tidal wave! I was lucky to be near the toilet! But what should I do now? "

" In your opinion, idiot ? " Someone suddenly asked him.

Turning around, jumping, Kohta suddenly saw the face of a high school girl in her class.

" Saya? What are you still doing here ? "

" The same thing as you. " She taught him. " I was waiting for most of the danger to pass! Nevertheless, I believe that a second danger will fall on us. "

" What do you mean ? " Wanted to know the boy, scanning the corridor. " What do you mean by that ? "

" We have to get out of here quickly. " She announced, starting to run.

" Hey, wait for me. "

" Let me go. " Ordered a young girl, starting to struggle.

Surrounded by three boys, the poor thing was, at this very moment, feeling their hands groping her on all sides.

" Why this ? " One of them asked, smiling. " I'm sure you like it. "

" Yeah! After all, we all know your reputation, Yuuki. " A boy assured, squeezing one of her breasts.

Moaning in shame, the girl ends up kicking him in the face. Immediately catching his nose, the boy let go of her. Immediately struggling like a fury, Yuuki tried somehow to get rid of the grip of the other two. Finally, as they pulled the top of his uniform, it tore. Taking advantage of the fact that nothing was holding her back, the young girl rushed towards the door of the room where she had taken refuge before the arrival of the three boys.

" Hey, come back here. " Ordered the one she had just hit.

Ignoring him, she opened the door wide and fled down the hall. But hardly had she time to take a step that she saw zombies invading it. Afraid at the sight of the living dead, she immediately fled, as far as possible from them. Leaving the room in turn, her three attackers began to follow her, without worrying for a single moment about the living dead. The situation was so dire that their brains had long gone haywire, and at the sight of Yuuki's body, they had simply decided to rape her before death came upon them.

As horrified by the zombies as by his pursuers, Yuuki ran like a rabbit through the hallways, hoping to find help. However, no matter how much she ran, all she encountered were corpses and zombies feeding on them.

" Help me ! " She cried. " Help me, I beg you. "

At that instant, she tripped over a dead body on the ground and collapsed to the ground. Trying to get up, she felt one of her pursuers fall on top of her and grab her by the wrists.

" You will not go further. " He assured, licking his lips.

Growling then, a zombie walked in their direction and began to target them. Despite this, the boy continued to be interested only in the girl and affirmed.

" I will not die a virgin! I'll do it with you before I die. "

" No, let go of me. " She begged her, watching the zombie come up scared.

The latter then stretched out his arms towards them and opened his jaws to bite them.

" No. " Begged the young girl.

A phenomenal blow then struck the corpse at the level of its ribs and sent it straight against a wall.

" Huh? " The boy said, looking up.

Before he had time to clearly identify him, a foot hit him in the face and threw him away. Passing between them, the body of the high school student fluttered under the frightened glances of his two comrades. Turning around, they saw a newcomer walking quietly towards them

" You ... Who are you ? "

Putting a cigarette between his lips, the newcomer took out a lighter before bringing it closer to the end of his cigarette. Lighting the latter, he exhaled a column of smoke before declaring.

" I don't know who you are, what's going on and even less where I am, but one thing is certain. "

He then stopped in front of Yuuki, as if he wanted to protect her from the boys.

" I would never let you take it out on a woman. " Cried Sanji. " So out of sight, before I get mad. "

Not at all impressed by his words, the two high school students rushed towards him, without any hesitation. Sighing, the man raised one of his legs before disappearing from sight.

" Huh ? "

" Where is he ? "

Suddenly appearing in front of one of them, he thrust his foot into his abdomen and knocked him out automatically.

" POITRINE ! " Announced the attacker, before lowering his leg at the level of the lower neck of the second high school student. " And ÉPAULE ! "

Dragging her to the floor, he banged her head violently, without a hint of pity. In an instant, he had just beaten the high school students without any difficulty. When he was done, he turned to Yuuki, who was still on the ground, looking at him with dumbfounded eyes. Approaching her, the man finally crouched down before asking her.

" Is everything okay, miss? "

He barely had time to finish his sentence, when Yuuki's arms clasped around his waist and she began to cry against his abdomen.

"Tha… Thank you! Thank you so much for saving me. "

In a gesture of comfort, the man then put a hand on her head before telling her.

" Do not worry, everything is fine. "

Looking up, he found that his "fight" had attracted the attention of other monsters. Not preferring to put his protege in danger, he preferred to open a door that was near them, and took Yuuki, inside.

" We will barricade ourselves here, the time they go. " He decided, closing the door behind them.

" Ok ... Okay. " The young girl stammered.

Suddenly realizing that she was in a bra, the man took off the shirt he was wearing and slipped it over his shoulders.

" But … ? "

" Don't catch cold. " He advised her.

Then grabbing a desk, he positioned it in front of the door before barricading it. Seeing him activate, Yuuki finally tries to recognize his face. Nevertheless, the latter was unknown to him.

" Excuse me but… are you part of the teaching staff ? "

" The teaching staff ? " Repeated the man, stopping.

" What is your job ? " She wanted to know.

" I'm a cook. " He taught him. " My name is Sanji! And you ? "

" Yuu… Yuuki! My name is Yuuki. "

" He is a cook. " She repeated. " I never go to the cafeteria! That must be why I've never seen him. "

Finally calmed down, she got up before affirming.

" You just saved me! I thank you very much! Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer you in return. "

" No need. " Sanji asserted, while creating hearts with the smoke from his cigarette. " It is a pleasure for me to help such a lovely lady like you! Besides, I hate all people who dare to hit a woman! It makes me mad. "

" Do you know what's going on here? " She asked him. " Why did these monsters appear like this? "

Truth be told, Sanji was even more lost than she was. Barely ten minutes ago, he was in the middle of a fight, on the Sunny, when he mysteriously found himself in a small shed containing a dozen bicycles. Once out of the latter, he found himself in front of the main entrance of the school where several zombies were going there. Fighting against them for a few moments, he had finally retreated, when he saw one of them bite a teacher, who had come to lend him a hand. Under those horrified eyes, he had seen this man transform in turn, into a creature wanting to devour him. Understanding the dangerousness of these monsters, he had decided to rush into the building. But while he thought he would find help there, all that he had met were only terrified high school students who only thought of fleeing. Until now, Yuuki was the only person he had been able to interact with.

" I have no idea. " He confessed. " But one thing is certain: I would never let them bite us. "

Looking at her, he affirmed by putting a hand on her chest.

" Now, until we are safe, I will protect you. "

Resuming his work, he turned around when the young girl began to blush. For her, it was the first time that a man had been so protective of her. To many, she was just an easy-to-handle girl who just had to be complimented to get her to a bed. But this man really saw her as a fragile young girl who needed to be taken care of.

" I will help you. " She announced, taking a table.

Wanting to retort to let him do it, Sanji heard a noise at the professor's desk. Signaling Yuuki to back away, he slowly walked towards the cabinet, ready to attack the person inside. Passing his head over the desk, he noticed the silhouette of a person curled up under it.

" Get out of there. " The man ordered him.

There was no gesture.

" You want me to get you out of there myself ? " Sanji asked, in a threatening voice.

Having no choice, a head ends up leaving the office. With dark hair falling in front of her eyes, she belonged to a puny high school student, with eyes resembling those of a cat. Thin and pale, he seemed to exude a dark aura around him. As soon as he stood up, he threw his hands up in the air before declaring.

" I… I did nothing! I don't want boredom. "

" Kurokami? " Yuuki wondered, recognizing the boy.

" You know him ? " Sanji asked him.

" Yes, we are in the same class! the schoolgirl explained to him. " He always tries to show that he is tough in front of the people in the group to which he belongs but, in fact, he is a real little sissy. " It is harmless. "

" Yes, I don't mean any harm to you. " Assured the boy, preferring not to take the girl's words as an insult. " Please don't kick me out. "

Blowing smoke then, Sanji assured.

" It's okay, I'm not a monster! I'm not going to kick out with those monsters that are in the hallways. "

" Thank you. " The boy rejoiced, heaving a sigh of relief.

" On the other hand, in exchange, I count on your help to bring me information. "

" Information? " Repeated the two high school students.

" Yes! Tell me exactly everything you know about this building! I want the location of each room and what's in it! Water, medicine, food, potential weapons… tell me everything. "
