Korrasami 88: Huh, so that's their designated name from the reviewers. Ignoring that half of them are girls...

UltraTech Cinder: You'll find out.

Al Drin Hoshizora: Again with the 'Zuul boys' nickname.

I am a burglar: Can you get past the Zuul, though.

Antha1: She was more annoyed than scared.

GANGSTA: Yeesh.

The Batista: Take a hitch.

Drunken Hamster: Her having no reaction is kind of the joke.

Gloyd Orangeboar: Indeed.


Bill and Jill drove the car to a stop when they reached the hotel in the forest. The hotel wasn't too big, nicely fitted within the thicket of trees.

"Well I'll be damned," Jill said, surprised that someone had actually made a hotel this far out in the woods. She and Bill got out of the car and approached the hotel, and noticed a few dead bodies both outside and inside the hotel.

The two tried to ignore the bodies as Bill opened the door and forced his way in, followed by Jill. Flicking on the lights, the two took the time to admire the hotel.

"I wouldn't be opposed to moving Riley here," Jill noted as she searched the place for anything they could possibly take with them.

They didn't just take food; Jill took a perfume bottle from a hotel room, trying to ignore the rotting corpse of the bottle's owner lying next to the bed. Bill took a razor and a toothbrush from a bathroom.

After a few minutes, the two were ready to leave. However, as they headed for the door, they paused.

Just outside the hotel door, the two saw several zombies lumbering outside. There weren't many of them, maybe five or six, but the two saw one giant one with large fists and bright red hair. He shoved past the other zombies and started heading straight for the door.

Bill urged Jill out of sight, and the two hid behind a wall. Peaking out from the side, the two observed the zombies. The other zombies circled the hotel while the fat, red-haired zombie made his way through.

The zombie twisted the doorknob and opened the door, strolling inside casually. Bill and Jill watched as the zombie walked over to a glass of water, took it in his hand, and drank it. Tossing the empty glass away, the zombie next walked over to the bathroom. Bill and Jill pressed against the wall as the zombie slipped through the door and vanished inside.

Bill and Jill stared at the bathroom door for a moment, and heard a gasp of relief, followed by a toilet being flushed. They then heard the sound of a bathroom tap water being turned on.

"I think we should be going now," Bill said after a moment. Bill and Jill slowly walked towards the door, and were immediately met with the pale face of a zombie.

The zombie growled, and Jill kneed him in his tenders. The zombie collapsed on the ground, groaning in pain. Bill and Jill breathed with relief, but that was shattered when the door was smashed open and several zombies lumbered through.

Bill and Jill then saw a large shadow engulf them, and they spun around to see the giant zombie standing before them, towering over them. He spread his arms out wide as he leered over them.

"Zuul mother-fu- Hey!"

The zombie was cut off when Bill and Jill ducked underneath his massive arms and took off past him, racing towards the back exit of the hotel. Kicking the door open, the two dashed outside, the zombies starting after them.

"Crap, crap, crap!" Bill shouted as he and his wife circled around the hotel, dodging several zombies along the way, before finally making it to the car. The two dove in, started the car, and drove off into the woods, leaving the zombies in the dust.

"Well, that could've gone better," Jill said. "I hope Riley's doing better than us."


On a frozen lake, Blackjacket ducked as the hockey puck went flying past his head. Yellowjacket smiled, and flew her hands in the air in victory.

Since they had started playing, Yellowjacket hadn't lost one round against Blackjacket. Playing the sport made her start to remember a time when hockey was one of her favorite things.

Blackjacket lumbered off of the lake to retrieve the puck. When he returned, he was prepared to set it back on the frozen lake when he paused.

Yellowjacket was confused as to what was taking him so long. She noticed that his eyes were wide and his jaw was dropped, and that he was staring past her. Intrigued, Yellowjacket turned around to see what he was staring at.

In front of her, Yellowjacket saw a young woman dressed in black. She had pale skin and hair the color of night, cut to around her shoulders. She looked strikingly like Ghoul, only younger.

". . . Uh," Yellowjacket hesitated, the hockey stick dropping out of her hand. The woman beckoned with her head for the two to follow her, and gripped Yellowjacket's wrist. Cautiously, the two followed her out of the marshes.

As the two children followed the woman, she asked, "What's your name?"

"Y-Yellowjacket," The blonde zombie girl replied, stuttering a bit. "That's Blackjacket." She motioned to the boy behind her.

"I'm Mary," The older zombie said, not looking at the two but staring forward. As they exited the marshes and approached the cabin, she asked, "What are you two doing out here?"

"We. . . live here," Yellowjacket said with a shrug.

Mary paused, and she turned to stare at the two in bafflement. She then looked at the cabin.

"What?"

Before anyone could say anything else, the three heard the sound of a car driving by. The car came to a skidding halt and Bill and Jill dashed out. They ran over to the two children, out of breath.

"Zombies. . . really fast. . ." Bill said as he struggled to catch his breath. It was then that he noticed Mary, and that she was holding Riley.

"Riley, watch out!" Bill shouted as he pulled out his gun. Before anyone could respond, he pulled the trigger.

The bullet grazed Mary's arm, causing her to shriek in pain and release Yellowjacket, who ran to Bill's side. Blackjacket stumbled backwards and fell onto the ground. Mary collapsed on the ground next to him, clutching her bleeding arm.

Bill, Jill and Yellowjacket stepped away from the zombie fearfully, only to hear an enraged cry from behind them. Bill spun around and was immediately tackled by George. The gun flew out of Bill's hand as George slammed Bill onto the ground.

George began to thrash Bill with his fists, but Jill grabbed a tree branch and struck him in the side, knocking him back. A clawed hand gripped Jill's head, and she was thrown away by Shelley. Before she could do anything else, Yellowjacket suddenly ran towards Shelley and began shoving her back repeatedly, crying out in fury.

Shelley stood, confused, wondering why the zombie girl was protecting a Freak.

Quickly, Bill grabbed Blackjacket and Yellowjacket and rushed them into the house, Jill following close behind. They slammed the door behind them and locked it.

George and Shelley ran towards the door and began knocking on it, but they received no response. George angrily started jumping up and down on the ground, and Shelley shoved him, shouting, "Stop acting like a baby!"

At that moment, Rob came rushing towards the cabin. He saw an injured Mary, and promptly asked, "Okay, what did I miss?"
