Chapter 12: Third army of evil for those counting at home
Jack Brewer was sparing with Kim and Rudy, Milton was meditating, and Jerry was looking for something to eat. "It's been pretty quiet, when was the last time you saw a black dragon around?" Asked Jack.
"It sure has been a while, I think they went out of business." Replied Rudy as he blocked Jack then Kim
"No wonder I've felt so secure the last few months" Milton opened an eye.
"Guess I must have scared them away" Jerry flexed despite having food hanging out of his mouth.
"Right" they others said together.
"Hey are those people out there ok?" Asked Kim "they look dead."
"Hmm they do now that you mention it" said Rudy, he turned to Jack "you don't think?..."
Jack's eyes widened "no way in hell am I dealing with zombies, how many are there?"
They looked out through the glass "maybe they're all just tired" said Rudy.
Mall cop Joan stormed into the mall court "you're all moving too slow in a traffic zone, I'm gonna have to ask you all to cease and desist" one of the people walked up behind her and bite her jugular, she fired off a shot before she fell to the ground, the zombies crowded her as she was devoured.
"OK those are zombies, let's get out" cried Rudy he grabbed his prized katana and unsheathed it. The group stormed out only to realize there had been zombies out of view, the swarmed closer as everyone went back to back "I'm sorry guys I should have thought this through"
Rudy was preparing to attack when something flew through the air, he turned to see Falafel Phil with a bucket of appetizers, the zombies forgot about the Wasabi Warriors and rushed to the food "Rudy! I am so glad I helped in time, we must be leaving here right now" he threw his bucket at one of the zombies and grabbed Officer Joan's gun and waved them over to a mall corridor. As they moved Rudy slashed zombie skulls in half.
"Where we gonna go now guys?" Jerry's eyes darted around the room.
"The broom closet! I sleep there, there's a vent" replied Phil
No one thought to question why he slept there but they followed quickly, Phil locked the door. "The vent is behind the shelf"
The group pushed the shelf open to reveal an open window, "Phil, this is literally just a window to the parking lot" Rudy was distraught but this was better than a vent.
"Same thing in Hachmakitan just go" everyone stepped out the window and blocked it with the shelf when the zombies broke the door.
"Could we...go to a hospital" Milton fainted but Rudy caught him
"What's his deal?" Asked Kim
"Oh god, his shoulder, he's bleeding!" yelled Rudy
"That stray bullet Joan fired must have hit him" said Jack
"I'm surprised the little guy lasted this long without passing out" Jerry joked to hide his concern.
Rudy set down Milton "I'll go get something from the hospital" he called before running into a van with a thud. Everyone looked to see the van had people in it. It was driven by a 30 year old African-American, the passenger seat held a teenage girl with dark hair.
"Need a ride? We're going to the east coast." Said the girl
"Anythings better than here" said Jerry as he opened the door to reveal a guy on his computer and a frizzy haired dark skinned woman.
"Only if you agree to stop at the hospital to help our friend" demanded Rudy "and don't try anything"
"Goddamnit, it's because I'm black isn't its!?" Said the driver
"Calm down T-Bo, they're on our side" said the girl "well do it, and hurry those guys on the news aren't far behind"
"Ok everyone in, Phil you comin?"
"Just to the hospital, the Bahavians have taken the east, they're at war with Hachmakitan, I'd be shot immediately" replied Phil.
"Alright the hospital it is" said the girl.
