I do not own ZOMBIES. I am so sorry this was supposed to be out on Monday and I know y'all have been waiting so here it is chapter 8. I hope y'all love it and I'll see you next Sunday.

"All right boys we got this there's no I in team. OK! But there is an I on ZOMBIE, but that's not important. Let's go, Seabrook." Zed said, trying to get his team fired up.

"Hey be my guest the zombies all yours," one of his teammates said to their opponent just as the whistle blew and he moved out of the way literally letting him bash heads with Zed. Zed hit the ground with a hard thud.

"Oh Zombie down," Bucky said as he clapped and began the next cheer. Addison watched the game feeling very distraught, she knew Zed could to better. "Come on Zed." She thought aloud.

As the ball snapped again Zed successfully spun past two players before being brutally tackled to the ground. Their quarterback picked up the ball and ran into the end zone.

Zoey, Zevon, Bonzo And even Eliza came out to support Zed even if things weren't going very well. "At least the cheerleaders are amazing," Zoey said looking up at her father. "Go, Seabrook! Go, Seabrook! Go, Seabrook!" Zoey said imitating them. "We don't clap for cheerleaders," Eliza said as she watched the game. Zoey then quietly cheered behind her back.

The team went into the locker rooms for halftime, Zed attentively listened as Coach gave them some more plays. "Here's what you need to do," Coach said as he drew a series of X's and O's on the chalkboard. "I'm only gonna try this once so all you have to do is… MOVE FORWARD, MOVE ALL THE WAY FORWARD!"

He yelled as he drew lines going towards the top of the board. "Look I knew we were gonna lose and I think you all knew it too, so just go out there and lose better? Go, team." He said with a shrug.

Coach chuckled and slapped Zed on the back, "doggone if you didn't get me dreaming of winning huh, shame on me. What is happening out there." Coach pleaded. "I don't know Coach maybe it's team chemistry, but I don't think their even blocking for me," Zed said his voice just above a whisper.

"Hey Zed I thought we had a deal you didn't keep your end of it, so win this game or it's back to the basement," Principal Lee said very threateningly "Hey Coach great idea now people hate us and we're losing." She said as she left the room.

"What happened to that brute strength I saw at the pep rally?" Coach asked hitting Zeds shoulder pads "oh my Z-Band was actually turned off an-," Zed started "Great use that take it and use it." Coach said as he left the locker room.

"No, I can't," Zed yelled after him. Zed sighed as he sat down on a bench thinking to himself for a moment then a bright idea popped into his head… or maybe a not so bright one.

"No, I'm not letting you talk me into this" Eliza said from behind her computer. "Come on I just need a little zom boost like what happened at the pep rally." Zed quickly rushed out. "Yea like that wasn't a total disaster." She retorted sarcastically "I'm not doing it"

"You already jail-broke your Z-Band to play video games," Zed said pointing to her wrist. "This is different this is ludicrously dangerous." She said with nothing but concern for her friend. "Look if I win this game that's good for us and that's good for zombies, and isn't that what we need." He said pointedly.

Eliza rolled her eyes as she opened up her computer. "Success," he thought as she started typing out some codes. "Oh woah way too zombie she said as she scrolled back and forth with her mouse. "Ok, there we go." She said with one final click. Zed looked down at his band, "That's it?" He asked as he got up. "That's it " Eliza replied.

"And never swipe to the left ok that'll corrupt the software only left never right, got it," Eliza said pointing a finger in his chest. "Got it," He said holding his hands up defensively. "Hey and if you smell smoke stop drop and roll," Eliza said as he ran back onto the field, Zed smiled and tossed his helmet as he ran back onto the field.

"Coach said we can do this, so let's do this! Let's go mighty shrimp break on 5!" Zed said from the middle of the team huddle. Once he finished the team just walked away dismissively. "Ok," he shrugged as he joined them on the field.

Once he got into position he swiped his finger across the screen of his Z-Band. His veins turned black, his eyes darkened and sunk deep into his head, he out a small growl as the whistle blew.

As soon that ball snapped Zed caught it and crashed into the fullback sending him straight to the floor, then he made his way to the end zone smacking players to the ground left and right. He threw the ball up and growled out "too easy" with a low and distorted voice.

"Yay! Go Zed!" Addison cheered while jumping up and down. The team's quarterback held the ball as Zed ran up to kick it, sending it flying into the end zone.

From the sidelines, Addison took Bucky's megaphone, "Feel that breeze it's not a sneeze zombies score and run with ease! Whoooo!" She cheered before Bucky could yank it away from her. "What're you doing?" He asked "Cheering" Addison replied "the football team hasn't won since forever, but we can change that. I bet the whole squad cheering together could lead the football team to victory" She said with bright eyes and a big smile.

Bucky scoffed "you know what that whole idealistic kind of positive attitude, has no place in cheer so stop." He said giving her the death glare.

Seabrook high won the game 78-35 after Zed literally jumped over the group of guys coming towards him. He quickly swiped his Z-Band back online before Addison ran up to him and pulled him into a tight hug.

"Wow you were amazing," she said looking up at him. "Thanks, awesome cheers," he said looking down at her. Addison just smiled and hugged him tighter.

The next morning on his way to school Zed took in a nice deep breath. "Ah, life is good." He said as he jumped down the stairs and was on his way.

Once he got there he was happy to see that the gate and signs labeled HUMANS and ZOMBIES had both been removed.

At lunch, the zombie table had become way more crowded and you could barely find a seat with all the humans there.

Addison watched Zed from across the room as she got up to go say hi to him she felt a tug on her arm. "You're either pro cheerleader or pro-zombie, decide now." Bucky said sternly wait what you don't know how hard I,"

"What's it gonna be?" Bucky interrupted "I I wanna be a cheerleader that's all I've ever wanted." Addison said sadly she couldn't believe her own cousin was making her choose between her soulmate and her passion, "Good" Bucky said satisfied. Addison couldn't even look at Zed as she ran out of the cafeteria.

Zed was making the headlines of every newspaper in Seabrook and Zombie Town. Soon everyone knew of him, the star fullback that led his team through an undefeated season. He caught the eyes of many universities including UOS University of Seabrook and USB University of South Beach in the next town over. But he also caught the eye of someone from the past.
