Before this next chapter begins, I would like to apologize for the exceedingly long wait for this chapter. I never intended to go five months before updating, but other things got to me. Besides the fact that I want to get Total Drama High School finished ASAP, I also had Scott Pilgrim vs The Island to worry about as well as the fact that I could get nothing done during the summer. I kept trying to get stuff done but I continually got distracted. But this chapter is finally done, so hopefully you will forgive me for the wait. On with the zombies!

Disclaimer: I don't own Total Drama, Zombieland, or anything that I might cross this over with, and trust me, there's gonna be a lot of stuff crossed over with this.

How could I have sunk this low? I was once the most famous reality show host in all of Canada. Now I'm forced to work with the teens I tormented if I want to live in this zombie apocalypse. Naturally, we've run into the zombies on numerous occasions, but we haven't suffered any casualties as of yet, which is good. These teens may not like me but they can't deny that if I die, they have less of a chance of fighting off the zombies.

Despite the ordeal we've had to deal with, they've been taking it fairly well. Cody seems to know the most about zombies in our group. It's something that's invaluable to have with us when we're fighting against zombies. He's also been handy when setting up mechanical locks and such when we camp inside an abandoned building. And while she can be annoying as hell and pissed me off when she destroyed my plane, Sierra is useful when the zombies threaten the ex-contestants. I had better remember to not make her mad, because once she gets mad, she's like a raging demon.

As for Tyler, somehow he manages to be clumsy except when he's needed most. When we are walking toward Montreal, Tyler will constantly trip over his own feet. Watching out for zombies while the others sleep, he trips. But when it comes to kicking undead ass, Tyler will not fall down at all. This leads me to Lindsay. Yes she is dumb, but at least she finally understood what she had to do in order to kill zombies. Having her paired with Tyler often helps her focus more at the task at hand. Perhaps she wishes to impress Tyler.

Moving on, Alejandro has been acting weird. The arch villain of World Tour has been throwing himself into danger on occasion. He's gotten out of the fights fine, but it leaves me to wonder: Is he feeling remorse for his actions? Speaking of feeling remorse, Heather has been one to save Alejandro's ass on a couple of occasions. From what I've heard, she hooked up with Alejandro after he got out of the hospital from the burns he sustained. She's managed to hold her own, and unless she's had lessons, using a katana must come natural to Asians. The last person in my group is Trent. He actually doesn't say much. He'll talk to Cody or Tyler on occasion, but otherwise he doesn't interact much. I'm betting he misses Gwen. Even if he wasn't going out with her, I think he enjoyed her company.

Anyways, it was roughly a month or so after we separated from the others. We were contemplating what we were going to do. You see, we encountered a city. While normally we would stick to the outskirts, a large river ran through the city, making it near impossible for us to go around the city. Our only option was to traverse through the city. However, it was getting to be evening, so to prevent us from getting trapped in the city at night, we were trying to find a shelter for the night. Trent was currently on a motorcycle that he modified to cut down on noise. He was driving through some city streets, looking for a shelter.

A half hour after he left, Trent got back. I approached and said, "Well Trent? Is there anywhere for us to stay?"

Trent nodded and said, "Yeah. There weren't many places that could work, but I found a mall. It looked fairly reinforced, so there could be survivors in there."

I nodded and said, "Sounds good. We should head out." Trent nodded and walked back to his motorcycle. I went to the pickup truck we found and got in, telling the others in the back, "Alright guys, Trent found a mall, so we're gonna hide out in there." I started up the truck and followed Trent into the city, until the multistory mall was in sight. He stopped near a small entrance and I stopped as well.

Everyone gathered their things and approached the door. Cody started to tinker with the door, attempting to open it in a way that would allow us to lock it again afterwards. After Cody successfully opened the door, we quickly slipped inside the mall. After everyone was inside, Cody made sure to lock the door. We started to walk into the main body of the mall, taking in what was there.

In a security room inside the mall, a teen was watching the various monitors, making sure no zombies got inside. The picture quality on the security cameras was mediocre at best, so they only saw the figures. Unsure if they were zombies or humans, the teen grabbed a shotgun and departed the room.

We looked around at what stores occupied the mall when it was still in operation. We saw all the usual stores that would inhabit a mall. At one point Lindsay squealed, "Like, oh my God! They have an Albatross and Finch store! I could really use some new clothes! The ones I have are all dirty and smelly."

I shook my head and said, "Look, we need to scope this whole place out first. Then once we're settled, we can see if anything is left." I led the group to what appeared to be a food court. That is to say, the seating area of the food court. A hallway led to the different vendors in the food court. Apparently, if you ate here, you couldn't eat right by the vendor.

The only thing in the area besides tables and chairs was a large yellow ball. I sat down at one of the tables and said, "Well, take a break guys. I think we found our shelter. We haven't seen a zombie yet, so there's either only a few of them or there's none at all."

Cody tapped his chin in thought for a moment and said, "Wait a second, we should locate the security office. As long as the cameras still work, we can use them to do surveillance."

I stopped for a moment and said, "That's brilliant! We need to find the security office at once!"

After just a few seconds, Tyler said, "Well, where is the security office?"

A male's voice said, "Wouldn't you like to know." The sound of a gun cocking turned our attention and we all turned to see the owner of the voice and gun. The person was a teen of average height and build. He had some type of African descent, evidenced by his skin color and his hair, which resembled dreadlocks. He wore a red shirt and gray pants.

Behind him stood another teenaged boy, but this one looked to be slightly Hispanic, and strangely enough his hair looked blue. He wore a purple shirt and jeans. In his hand he had a walkie talkie. He was whispering something into it, but we couldn't hear what he was saying.

I found the courage to say, "Hey, we're all part of the living here, right? Let's not do anything hasty."

The teen with the gun said, "Once the rest of our group gets here, we'll decide your fate."

We waited for a few minutes and then three girls showed up. The first was a blond haired girl and she wore a pink shirt with a blue skirt. The second girl wore a purple sweatshirt and a white skirt. She had orange hair and was the tallest of the three. The last girl wore a white tee shirt and had baggy gray pants. She had purple hair and had numerous piercings on her face.

I raised an eyebrow and said, "So? Is this everyone?"

The teen with the gun replied, "Not yet, we're waiting for one more person." Just after he said this a teen skateboarded into the area. He wore a gray hat, and had a cream colored shirt and baggy jeans.

The skater teen said, "Dude, like what's up?"

I blinked my eyes in confusion and said, "He sounds just like me."

He turned to face me and said, "Dude, you are so right! That's pretty weird."

The first teen said, "Back to the point. There are survivors, so should we welcome them in?"

The girl with the piercings rolled her eyes and replied, "There are other people who managed to survive. We would have to be stupid to turn them away."

The others nodded and the teen with the gun lowered his weapon before saying, "Sorry about that. I just wanted to protect my friends. I'm Wyatt."

The skater said, "Dude, my name's Jude." I raised an eyebrow at the name but didn't say anything.

The last male smiled for the girls and said, "Ladies, my name is Jonesy. You might want to remember that."

The girl with piercings scoffed and said, "Even when we're going out you still flirt with all the girls."

Heather replied, "Tell me about it." Alejandro raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

The girl with piercings continued, "Anyways, my name is Nikki."

The blond haired girl said, "My name's Caitlin."

The last person of the group, the orange haired girl, said, "And my name is Jen."

Heather grimaced and said, "Oh god, you do sound like Gwen. I thought I was hearing things before but apparently not."

Caitlin looked at the entire group and said, "Oh my God! You guy's are from Total Drama!"

I flashed her a smile and said, "That's right! I am the one and only Chris Mclean! I'm helping lead Cody, Sierra, Heather, Alejandro, Tyler, Lindsay and Trent to America. We hope to take refuge there."

Jen gasped in realization and said, "Of course! I knew you guys looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place my finger on it."

I turned to Wyatt and said, "So is it just you six?"

He nodded and said, "That's correct. Here, instead of sitting here, let's go to somewhere a bit more comfortable." He led us to a coffee shop where there were several couches situated. Wyatt asked, "Would anyone care for a coffee?"

Heather, Sierra, Trent, Tyler and I said we would like a coffee. I looked to the three who declined the offer and asked, "How come you guys don't want coffee?"

Cody shrugged and said, "I just don't really like it."

Alejandro smirked and said, "I am so hot that I don't need coffee to get ready. I just wake up and am already wide awake."

Lindsay frowned and said, "I heard coffee is supposed to give you wrinkles or make your hair yucky or something like that."

I raised an eyebrow and said, "I've been drinking coffee for years and my hair is gorgeous."

Wyatt came over with our drinks and handed them out. He apologized, "Sorry about the coffee being plain. We ran out of stuff after a couple of weeks here."

He sat down and I asked him, "So the six of you have been here since the epidemic started?"

Wyatt nodded and said, "That's right. We have shifts that we spend in the security office. That way, we can keep an eye out for any zombie that might get in. Luckily, you eight are the first things that have been able to get inside. So, you guys can get used to being around here. We have plenty of supplies and I don't think we plan on leaving too soon. Aside from that, we're going to fit you guys into the guard watch schedule. I think that if we let you stay here, it's the least you could do."

I nodded and said, "That won't be a problem. So is the rest of the mall free game?"

Wyatt nodded and said, "Anything that you want in the mall is yours."

I smiled and said, "Sweet." By then everyone had finished their coffee and we got up one by one to look around all of the different stores.

Lindsay dragged Tyler along to the Albatross and Finch store she so desperately wanted to go to. She ran inside and had a field day finding new clothes to wear whereas Tyler sat down and looked at a month old newspaper that was sitting nearby.

Eventually, Lindsay returned and said, "Tyler, there you are! Come here, I want you to tell me what you think about some new outfits I found!"

Tyler put the newspaper down and followed Lindsay, reasoning, "All right Lindsay, but in return we're going to the sporting goods store later."

Lindsay stopped to think for a moment and said, "Okay! Maybe they have some cheerleading things!"

Cody, on the other hand, found a video store and was looking through all the indie movies most video stores wouldn't stock. Joining him was Jude who asked, "Do you like, need something specific dude? I worked here before all the zombies showed up so if you're looking for anything, I could totally help."

Cody raised an eyebrow and said, "Seriously? I would think you would work somewhere more exciting."

Jude shrugged and said, "Well I did work at this one fast food place, but they fired me for some reason. I don't remember why."

Cody nodded and said, "Interesting. Anyways, I was looking for some kind of campy zombie b-movie. You know, to lighten things up."

The skater tapped his chin in thought before replying, "Okay, I know of a few dude. Let me see if I can find them."

While the tech geek and skater looked through the different movies, two other individuals found each other in a music store. Wyatt looked among all the different CD's that were within the shelves and smiled slightly, saying, "Sure had some good memories in here."

The sound of a CD case hitting the ground alerted Wyatt to his senses and he whirled around, pulling a pistol from the holster on his pants. The figure who got his attention threw his hands in the air as his green eyes widened in worry. He shouted, "Don't shoot! I'm not a zombie!"

Wyatt lowered the gun and chuckled before saying, "Trent, you scared me back there."

Trent put his hands down before breathing a sigh of relief and then replying, "Sorry about that. So what are you doing here anyways?"

Wyatt just turned to look at the registers and said, "Oh, I'm just remembering the times when I worked here."

Trent raised an eyebrow and asked, "You used to work here?"

Wyatt nodded and said, "I sure did. My two greatest memories of this place are that I met my first girlfriend here and I kicked off my music career here."

Trent nodded and said, "You play music too? Nice. I would play some stuff, but I don't have a guitar. Had to leave it behind."

Wyatt smiled and said, "I think we have a couple spare guitars around here. Let me see if I can find some."

Elsewhere in the mall, two girls were looking at dresses, as one girl wanted to find something for a special occasion. Caitlin, the other girl in the store, held up a strapless violet colored dress to the other person's figure. Caitlin looked at the dress for a moment and said, "No, I don't think that one will work. It doesn't go right with your eyes, and it's virtually your hair color!"

Sierra looked at her hair in the mirror and then at the dress and said, "You're right, it is my hair color! But I need to look good for when I go on a date with my Codykins later."

Caitlin tapped her chin in thought before she stated, "I got it! A light blue dress, almost a sky blue, would go great with your eyes and hair!"

Sierra held the dress up to her body, then said, "Well, I like the color, but I need to check how it fits on my body." Caitlin nodded and led Sierra to a changing room so she could see how the dress fit.

Alejandro had a large smile upon his face as he and Heather were finally able to be alone with each other. They had reconciled from their small fight at the resort and had since been happy with each other. Currently they were found in a hot tub relaxing as candles lit their surroundings.

Alejandro sighed and said, "Ah Heather, mi amor, it is great to finally relax against something that is not a tree. Don't you agree?"

Heather, in a rare moment, smiled, before she said, "It certainly is relaxing here."

Alejandro turned serious and propped himself up on the side of the hot tub with an arm before saying, "Heather, look I want to protect you with all my heart. But what should happen if one of us gets infected? I'm going to be blunt here, if that happens, I want it to be me."

Heather was stunned as she would be more willing to save her own hide rather than save someone else's. She stammered, "B-But Alejandro, we finally got together, don't you want to ensure we both live?"

Alejandro shook his head and said, "Indeed I would Heather, but I'm dealing with something I'm not used to feel. I'm guilty for what I had done during World Tour. I'm guilty for leading people along, for using them, and for not being with you as much as I had."

Heather smiled and said, "Relax Alejandro, we're safe for now, so you don't need to worry."

As time passed in the mall, we began to form friendships with the six survivors. Jen became friends with Tyler, Cody, Trent, and to a lesser extent, Lindsay and Sierra. Nikki, despite her initial feelings for the group, became friends with Tyler, Lindsay, and surprisingly Heather. Jonesy had become friends with myself as well as Tyler, Alejandro and Trent. Caitlin quickly became friends with Sierra, Lindsay, Heather, and Cody. Wyatt was friends with Trent as well as Cody, myself, and Lindsay. Jude was the odd one out, as it seemed like he became friends with everyone. While our friendships were limited, we quickly began to trust everyone, as we all wanted to survive in this world. We also knew that this trust would have to be tested eventually.

It had been over a month since we had all arrived at the mall, which we later learned was called Galleria Mall. One day, we were all minding our own business at the food court when we thought we heard glass breaking. Shocked, Wyatt ran to the security office to monitor the cameras. It was quiet for a few moments until the sound of more glass breaking was heard.

Lindsay grabbed Tyler's arm and said, "Taylor, I'm scared."

The jock held his girlfriend protectively and said, "Don't worry babe. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you." Heather rolled her eyes at the romance despite the serious situation until Alejandro wrapped his arm around Heather's shoulder and pulled her close, causing the queen bee to blush. Jonesy was more frightened than Nikki, as evidenced by the blue-haired teen being held by the gothic teen.

Jen had huddled up to Jude, which went unnoticed by the skater teen because Caitlin had huddled up next to Jen. Trent sat twiddling his thumbs while Cody and Sierra held hands protectively. I nervously glanced at the escalator and at the bottom floor, but saw no sign of concern.

It was another couple minutes until Wyatt returned, driving the golf cart that had been used by the mall cop the mall had. In the golf cart were all kinds of weapons and ammunition. He got off the cart and said, "Guys, we gotta get out of here now. Zombies have finally broken into the building."

I nodded and said, "Right, so basically, we're gonna take guns and ammo and blow the hell out of the zombies?"

Wyatt shrugged and said, "Basically. Get out of here any way possible, then regroup and get the hell out of this city."

Cody raised his hand and said, "I have a better idea. Why waste our ammo when we can use other things? Let's use the things available to us in the mall and kill the zombies. Then when we have to, we'll use our ammunition." Many stood gaping in awe at Cody's plan.

I nodded and said, "Let's do it." Everyone split up to different parts of the mall to find weapons. As a whole, we stayed in groups of no more than four. We agreed to have at least one of those who knew the mall in each group.

Tyler, Lindsay and Jen went to the sporting goods store to use what they could. Alejandro, Heather and Jonesy went to the department store to get chainsaws, saw blades and the like. Trent and Wyatt went off to find whatever they could use in the music store and the surrounding area. I went with Jude to see what we could use from the electronics store. Cody, Sierra, Nikki and Caitlin were the only group of four, and they went to raid the clothing stores of mannequins as well as check out some of the other stores.

Tyler, Lindsay and Jen wandered the sporting goods store on the first floor of the mall. Luckily for them they hadn't run into any undead creatures while getting to the store, but the now-present moans were making the teens anxious. Tyler had already gotten some equipment of his own, as he had a hockey stick strapped to his back and a metal baseball bat in his hands.

Jen had also found one of her weapons, a lacrosse stick, which was odd considering the female athlete never played lacrosse. Jen was still looking for something when she found the poles used when one goes skiing. Looking at the sharp points, she grinned and claimed her weapon.

Tyler looked at his girlfriend and asked, "So Linds, do you know what you wanna use yet?"

The blonde beauty shook her head and said, "No. I don't know what I can use."

Jen looked around and saw one of the pitching machines the store sold. Looking at it, she asked, "Lindsay, do you think you would be able to aim that pitching machine over there?"

Lindsay looked at said pitching machine, which could hold over thirty baseballs and had a stand with wheels for easy transport, and said, "I-I think so."

Tyler looked at it and noticed the power cord running from the back to an outlet nearby and asked, "Got one that runs on batteries?"

Alejandro, Heather and Jonesy were looking through the aisles of the department store, searching for useful items. Jonesy complained, "Man you would think a department store would make finding things like chainsaws easy."

Heather rolled her eyes and then turned to the side and said, "They're right over there."

Jonesy blinked and said, "I knew that!" Jonesy picked them up and looked for ones that would work and ones that had sharp blades. After a couple minutes, he sighed and said, "Well, only one works so I think I'll use it."

Heather rolled her eyes yet again and scoffed saying, "Whatever dork. Alejandro, what will you use?"

She turned to see the Latin teen looking at a large riding lawnmower. He smirked and said, "Oh Heather, I think I know what I'm going to use."

The queen bee walked over to her boyfriend and said, "Any reason you picked a two-seater?"

Alejandro smiled and said, "Obviously so you can ride on it with me."

Heather nodded and grabbed some nearby saw blades and said, "I guess I can use these."

Alejandro nodded and said, "Excellent, mi amor."

Trent and Wyatt had looked through the music store and found that the only suitable weapons would be throwing CD's at the undead that plagued them. While this could work, they decided that dropping heavy objects down on top of the zombies from their position on the second floor would be beneficial.

So far the duo had managed to bring over two speakers, a television, three crates of frozen meat from the burger place nearby, and a few old chairs from the movie theater. After bringing a third speaker over Trent asked, "So do you think we have enough?"

Wyatt shrugged and said, "If all else fails, we can get other things to use."

Trent nodded and said, "Sounds like a plan."

Jude and I had searched the electronics store looking for anything that could be used as a weapon. Naturally, nothing worked out real well because in an electronics store one doesn't find much that would be useful at killing zombies.

Luck was on our side however, as the electronics store was on the second floor. This allowed us to pile up televisions, computer monitors, and racks used for CD, DVD, and videogame cases. Once we had enough electronics over by the railing leading to the first floor, I headed next door to a kitchen supply store and grabbed a few different types of knives.

Upon arriving back, I explained, "If we run out of things to drop, or if zombies get up here, we can use these knives."

Jude nodded and said, "Sounds like a plan man."

Cody, Sierra and Caitlin were panicking, because they failed to find any suitable weapon they could use to fight off the zombies. Nikki rolled her eyes at the sight and walked away from the store they were currently located in: The Khaki Barn. The gothic teen walked away from her former employer and proceeded to wander to the nearby gothic clothing store. She spent five minutes gathering supplies from within the store before returning to The Khaki Barn.

Cody, Sierra and Caitlin all looked up when Nikki returned and their eyes widened. Cody looked in awe and said, "Oh my god. You got so many weapons."

Nikki shrugged and said, "It's no big deal. That gothic clothing store a few storefronts over had a half-dozen swords for no reason. I took them for myself is all. Oh, and you guys."

Sierra grabbed a sword and said, "Don't worry Cody-kins! I'll protect you!"

Cody groaned as he grabbed a sword and said, "Sierra, I've asked you not to call me that!"

Sierra smiled sweetly and said, "Sorry Cody. I kinda forgot." Nikki rolled her eyes and passed a sword to Caitlin.

Everyone was alerted to the sound of glass breaking from different entry points in the mall. As we all got ready to fight, the sounds of the undead could be heard in the distance.

Tyler and Jen were fighting with their sporting equipment outside the sporting goods store as Lindsay fired baseballs from the pitching machine. Tyler swung his baseball bat at another undead ghoul's head, reducing the head to a gooey pulp. Another zombie approached Tyler from behind before being blasted in the head with a baseball. The zombie fell over dead as Tyler turned to his girlfriend, called, "Nice shot Lindsay!"

The blonde beauty smiled before turning to another zombie near Jen and launching another fatal shot. Jen saw the zombie fall out of the corner of her eye and turned her attention to the two zombies in front of her. Using the skiing poles, she impaled both of the zombies in the head, causing them to stumble forward for a moment before falling over, dead once again.

A loud collection of moans were heard coming from a different area of the mall. Looking in that direction, Tyler, Lindsay and Jen saw a large group of zombies approaching. After dealing with the few zombies nearby, the three teens took refuge in the Penalty Box, attempting to devise a plan.

Alejandro heard the loud moaning and started up the lawnmower, saying, "Heather get on! We've got some undead to kill!"

Heather nodded and got on the lawnmower, shouting to Jonesy as they departed, "Good luck Garcia!"

Jonesy ran after the mower for a few moments before shouting, "Wait, you're just going to leave me here?" The moans of a few nearby undead was noticed by Jonesy who sighed as he started up the chainsaw and said, "It's just my luck for a girl to leave me in the middle of a zombie apocalypse." He let out a battle cry as he charged at the zombies, chainsaw humming.

Cody, Sierra, Caitlin and Nikki heard the chainsaw and the lawnmower running and decided to split into two groups. Cody and Sierra headed toward where the lawnmower was running while Caitlin and Nikki ran toward the chainsaw.

Each group of two that was going to drop objects on the zombies saw large groups approaching and so Trent and Wyatt prepared their strategy while Jude and I employed mine.

As Tyler and Jen stood by the entrance of the Penalty Box, watching the zombie horde approaching, they tensed up, expecting the worst. That was before they saw a large television fall onto some zombies. Then a computer monitor fell onto one of the undead. The two athletic teens were confused as they saw a plethora of electronics rain down on the zombies.

The two ran out and dodged the falling electronics to see who had saved them. They turned around and looked upstairs at the balcony to see that it was Jude and I who had saved them. I waved down to them and then pointed out into the distance, shouting, "Hang on guys! Reinforcements are on the way!"

Tyler nodded and said, "Got it!" While Tyler was busy responding to me, a zombie snuck up on him only to be hit in the chin by the lacrosse stick wielded by Jen. This caught Tyler's attention and he went back to kicking ass. He swung his baseball bat into the gut of a nearby zombie, launching the ghoul into the one behind him.

While this was going in, Lindsay was laying covering fire, striking the dead with baseballs. When she ran out of those, she used different types of sporting equipment with varying degrees of success. Tennis balls and racquetballs, which fit inside the pitching machine, were fast enough to deal some damage, while soccer balls and basketballs didn't work as well. Soon, Lindsay ran off to get more baseballs.

Outside the store, the number of zombies continued to increase and it soon started to become overwhelming to the two athletic teens. They shared a look of despair as the moaning, bloodthirsty ghouls got ever closer to them.

Cody and Sierra, who were heading toward the Penalty Box, were currently dealing with a small crowd of zombies. Cody swung his sword and slashed the stomachs of three zombies open, the bloody contents spilling to the floor. Cody looked in disgust at this and quickly sliced the heads off of the three zombies, turning so he would not have to see the half-dissolved human tissue.

Sierra had finished off the last of the zombies with a stab to the eye and then turned to face Cody. Cody noticed the blood on her arms and gasped in horror before Sierra responded, "Oh it's not mine Cody. I may have slashed their arteries."

Cody sighed and said, "Well that's a relief. Now come on, we have to hurry!" Cody and Sierra headed off but not before hearing a humming not unlike that of a chainsaw moving toward the Penalty Box.

Jonesy was busy in the department store. Zombies had quickly stumbled inside and had a hunger for his flesh. As Jonesy quickly evaded the zombies, he pushed whatever he could behind him in an attempt to stop the approaching undead. He used refrigerators, dumbbells, pots and pans, a clothing rack with bras on it, and even a bottle of perfume. Upon returning to the cooking department, the blue-haired teen knocked a spice rack over.

This caused the half-dozen zombies chasing him to stop and start eating the spices off the floor. Jonesy grinned as he started up the chainsaw and said, "Well, looks like I learned their weakness." He ran forward and used the sharp power tool to slice through the undead skin and bone, killing the six zombies.

Jonesy wiped his forehead and said, "Well that was close. I gotta get out of here before more zombies show up." He ran to the entrance and bumped into a couple of people. He held up his chainsaw as one of the two people held up their sword.

When Jonesy saw who they were he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nikki, Caitlin, you guys scared me."

Nikki rolled her eyes as she lowered her sword and said, "Whatever. Look we need to get out of here."

Jonesy looked confused and said, "What about the others?"

Nikki sighed and said, "I don't want to leave the others, but we can't stay here either."

A voice from above stated, "That's a good idea." The three teens looked up at the balcony above and saw that Trent and Wyatt were standing there with random objects piled up nearby. The two musical teens ran to a nearby escalator where they then walked downstairs to the three teens.

Trent looked around and said, "We need to find a way out of here."

Nikki nodded and said, "I know where we can go. It's an entrance that not many people use so it might be easy to get out." The five teens then headed for the nearest exit.

Alejandro was speeding along on his lawnmower, or as fast as one could possibly go while riding a lawnmower. He drove the lawnmower into zombies, running them over and slicing them up. Heather would slash nearby zombies with her saw blades and throwing them at zombies that were nearby but she couldn't reach while slashing.

Alejandro smirked and said, "I love this very much!"

Heather smirked as well and said, "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. Just be careful not to get us killed."

Alejandro turned to face Heather and said, "Relax Heather. I'm not going to get us killed." While he was not looking, Alejandro drove the lawnmower into an overturned bench, sending the two flying through the air as the lawnmower careened into a group of zombies.

Tyler, Lindsay and Jen watched as the lawnmower, Heather and Alejandro flew threw the air towards a group of zombies. The three teens ran toward where Heather and Alejandro were headed. Tyler handed a pistol to Lindsay to use as she had to abandon the pitching machine. As they ran off, I shouted, "Jude and I will catch up with you!"

Cody and Sierra did not see the lawnmower fly through the air, but they saw Alejandro and Heather fly through the air.

Cody pointed in their direction and said, "Come on Sierra! We have to get over there!"

Sierra nodded and said, "Right behind you Cody!" The two picked up the pace and ran to their location.

After crashing, Alejandro got up and noticed zombies coming toward him from every direction. He stood and pulled out his submachine gun and opened fire, taking out as many zombies around him as possible. When the clip ran out, he used the gun to bash in the head of a nearby zombie before throwing the gun at another zombie.

The Latino teen then pulled out his pistol and exhausted his ammunition on more incoming zombies, their carcasses piling up around him. A slight moan of pain diverted his attention and he saw Heather sitting up from her crash.

Discarding his pistol, Alejandro took the crowbar that he had on his belt and charged forward, bashing zombie skulls left and right. Numerous zombies tried to take a bite out of Alejandro, but failed when he struck them with the crowbar or his arms.

As he struggled through the swarm, Tyler, Lindsay and Jen arrived on the scene, and Tyler shouted, "Time to kick some undead ass!" He mightily swung his baseball bat and blew away three zombies, allowing Jen to step forward with her lacrosse stick and start bashing some of the ghouls. As the two athletes worked to kill zombies, Lindsay fired the pistol at some of the straggling zombies.

As Tyler swung his bat down exceptionally hard, he punctured the metal of the bat. The jock noticed this but used the bat for a short while longer before he jabbed the sharp metal into the skull of a zombie. Pushing the bat and the zombie away, Tyler drew his hockey stick and started swinging. While the hockey stick was unable to decapitate any of the undead, several times the squelch of necks breaking was heard.

When one particular zombie got close to Tyler, Jen kicked it away before throwing one of her ski poles like a javelin and impaling a nearby ghoul. At this moment, Cody and Sierra arrived and started to slice and dice their way through the crowd. Decapitated heads, severed limbs and bisected corpses with their throats slit went flying through the air as a result of this assault.

Cody plunged his sword through the brain of one zombie into the brain of the one behind it, killing both ghouls simultaneously. Jude and I finally arrived on the scene, riding the golf cart with a large turret added to the top. Jude drove around as I fired a machine gun, making sure to aim for the heads.

Alejandro finally managed to fight his way to Heather, where he promptly made sure she was okay while everyone else managed to lay cover fire. Alejandro heard stray bullets hitting the lawnmower and his eyes widened in fear.

He grabbed Heather and shielded her with his body as the lawnmower took one too many bullets. Heather shouted, "Alejandro, what is wrong with you?"

His reply, if there was one was silenced by the explosion of the lawnmower. The fiery explosion instantly killed numerous zombies and flaming shrapnel killed many others. Everyone watched in horror as the machine turned into a large fireball.

Trent, Jonesy, Caitlin, Nikki, and Wyatt heard the explosion and looked in the general direction of the fight. Jonesy looked worried and said, "What was that?"

Nikki slapped him lightly and said, "Whatever it was, we can't deal with it. We're close to the exit and as much as I don't want to leave them, we need to leave before we get into a big fight."

Caitlin sighed and said, "I guess you're right. I feel guilty about leaving Jen and Jude though."

Trent smiled and said, "Don't worry, they're with the others. They can handle themselves."

Wyatt nodded and said, "Yeah that's true. There are only five of us here while there are nine of them over there. They can handle themselves."

Moaning alerted the five teens and they turned to see a large group of zombies. Grumbling, Nikki said, "I figured this would happen."

Alejandro stood up and pushed Heather toward the big hole in the zombies where the lawnmower blew them away. There was a clear path to the golf cart that had been created by the exploding lawnmower. He shouted, "Hurry up Heather! I'll catch up; I was burnt by the fire."

Out of the corner of his eye he then saw a large group of zombies attacking Tyler, Lindsay and Jen. Remembering all the times Tyler stuck by him in TDWT, he gathered his strength and charged at the zombies. Throwing himself at them, Alejandro caused a big enough distraction to the zombies. He struggled against the undead as he yelled, "Go! Get to safety and make sure Heather is safe."

Tyler nodded as he replied, "I never thought I would say this to you again but thank you."

Tyler then grabbed his girlfriend and ran toward Chris and the golf cart, which Jen had already gotten to. Heather got up and said, "Where's Alejandro?"

Tyler panted and said, "He sacrificed himself to save us."

Heather went wide-eyed and called out, "Alejandro!"

Alejandro summoned the last of his strength as he stood and yelled, "Heather, I'm sorry but I could not make it. Please fight and live on for me!" A few zombies leapt on him and tackled him to the ground where the undead swarmed. Alejandro cried out in pain as the zombies started clawing at his chest, breaking open the skin and his ribcage to get to his vital organs.

Heather stared heartbroken at the sight until Chris yelled out, "Cody, Sierra! Get somewhere safe! I've got to get these guys out of here!"

Jude floored the gas and the golf cart sped away from the crowd of zombies surrounding Alejandro. They kept driving until they found an entrance with literally no zombies. As the four teens got off of the golf cart, Chris said, "Okay, you guys go wait outside. Once we get Cody and Sierra, we'll come back."

With that, Chris and Jude drove off. Lindsay walked up to Heather and said, "Hey Heather, I'm sorry about Alexander."

Heather turned to look at Lindsay as she said, "I don't want to talk about it."

The four teens walked in silence as they left the mall. As they did so, they saw numerous zombie corpses with long, claw-like gashes. Jen noticed this and commented, "Man, did vampires kill all these zombies?"

Tyler cocked an eyebrow and responded, "Vampires killing zombies? Come on, that doesn't even make sense." [1]

The teens emerged from the mall only to confront a man walking away from a helicopter. The man was well dressed, with a white shirt, a suit jacket covering the shirt, green pants and brown shoes. He also had a camera around his neck. He ran a hand through his brown hair and asked, "Could you tell me if this is the Galleria Mall?"

[1] - Was I the only one who thought the Zombie vs Vampire matchup in Deadliest Warrior was severely one sided in favor of the vampires?

Cliffhanger! I promise I'll work on getting more chapters written sooner. I have ideas for where I want to take the next few chapters, so hopefully I'll get the next few chapters out sooner, so long as college applications don't get in the way too much. Thanks for reading and for having the patience to wait for this chapter (if you did have patience). If you could review, that would be great and reading my other fics would be awesome as well. As for Alejandro fans, if there are any, sorry he died. I gave him a hero's death though, sacrificing himself for others. What will happen to Trent, Wyatt, Jonesy, Nikki and Caitlin? Will Chris rescue Cody and Sierra in time? Who is the mystery man with the helicopter? These questions will be answered in three chapters because next time we see how Noah's team has been doing! Until next time!
