Korrasami 88: Not quite.

Js: Hope you stick around to the end.

Al Drin Hoshizora: Indeed.

I am a burglar: Maybe, maybe not.

The Batista: Refer to the first response.

NexusOscura: Well, about Sawbones... I wouldn't actually say he's "feral". There are three Others: the ones who are reverting, the ones who aren't, and the savages. Sawbones is the second one, which explains why he's more intelligent, and is leading the latter ones.

Gloyd Orangeboar: Meh.

Creamy Buttercap: Are you there? Then you can't judge.

MrScourch: Huh. I didn't actually consider gunners on the roof.

Antha1: Well, to be fair, Riley didn't really anticipate the ferals were smart enough to find alternate routes to the hideout.


(In Riley's Mind)

As Riley saw the ferals began to force their way into the building, the emotions were panicking at the console.

"We're doomed!" Fear cried in terror. "They're going to get in, and then they're going to infect and eat everyone!"

"Are we going to become a zombie again?" Disgust asked, petrified at the idea.

Joy, standing still at the control console, raised her hand and silenced the other emotions. "Everyone, calm down! Now, we may have underestimated them, but that does not mean we've lost! We have to keep a cool head, find a way to strike back!"

The other emotions turned to Joy, somewhat inspired.

"Now, we may not be as strong as those zombies, but there's something we do have," Joy said, invigorating the other emotions. "We have our humanity! We can work together!"

"Think fast!" Disgust suggested.

"Smash things!" Anger shouted, slamming a fist into the palm of his hand and giving a dark smile.

"Then come on, guys!" Joy said. "Let's do this thing!"


"What are we going to do?" Mary asked in a panic, biting her nails in anxiety. Outside the building, several ferals were crawling up the side of the Hideout and towards the windows to break in.

Riley, snapping to attention, said, "We're going to fight back! They may have gotten through the building, but that does not mean they've won!"

Bill, who was shooting a handgun at the ferals crawling up the building, suddenly said, "There's too many of them! We're going to have to leave this room!" As he spoke, one feral sprang up towards the window and screeched in Bill's face, but was suddenly socked in the mouth by George, sending it flying off the wall and plummeting to the ground below.

Pale Girl rushed towards the window, and screeched down at the ferals. "Keep away!" She hissed at them, and started firing her gun wildly at the ferals. Most of the shots missed, but several ferals were distracted by the sudden bullet fire, dislodging their grip on the walls and causing them to fall off.

Despite this, more ferals were coming. Despite the bullets picking them off, more kept on coming. And they were getting dangerously close to the window.

"We have to go, now!" The Boss told the others. As he did, he cocked his gun and fired it at the window, and Bill gasped and ducked as a feral that had lunged at him from the window was shot in the shoulder, sending him flying from the window.

The group began to flee from the window as more ferals crawled towards it. Riley and the Boss threw guns to them as they rushed through the door. As more ferals began to crawl through the window, the Boss and Riley began to shoot at them to keep them at bay. Riley rushed through the door as well, and the Boss did as well. As he did, he could see the ferals swarm the room.

Shutting the door behind him, the Boss pushed a large dresser behind it to barricade the door.

"What do we do now?" Blackjacket asked.

"We need to cover more ground and secure the building!" Riley said quickly. "We'll split up into two groups!" Pointing to Bill, Ghoul, Noose, Pale Girl and the Boss, she said, "You, come with me!" Turning to the rest, she said, "Go protect the people in the building."

"But Riley-" Jill started, but was cut off by Riley unexpectedly wrapping her arms around her mother.

"I'll be safe, mom," She said, planting a kiss on her mother's cheek. "Just protect the others, okay."

Jill slowly nodded, letting a tear stream out. "Okay Riley," She said. With that, she turned in the opposite direction, followed by Blackjacket and the college aged Others. The rest of the group turned in the opposite direction.

"Come on!" Riley said, raising the gun over her head. The, they charged down the hallways.


Jill's group rushed down the hallways, turning in one direction and dashing down it. They could hear the sounds of the ferals screeching and shambling around the building, some coming in their direction.

As they ran down the hallways, one feral suddenly raced out of another hallway and cut them off. Screeching, the feral ran towards them, but Jill dodged under the feral's arm. Spinning around, she struck the feral in the head with her gun, knocking it on its face.

"Move, move!" Jill shouted, and the group continued on its way. Rob ran ahead of Jill and smashed through the door of a room, revealing a family of Freaks, with two ferals advancing on them.

"Get away from them!" Jill shouted, and fired two blasts from her gun, downing one feral. The other feral lunged at her, knocking Jill to the ground.

"Jill!" Mary shouted, and she tackled the feral. The two grappled with each other, but the larger feral grabbed Mary's leg and shoulders, lifted her up over his head, and then slammed her into the ground, knocking the wind out of her.

As Mary lay, stunned, on the ground, she saw the feral leer down on her, drool dripping down his jaws. As he prepared to bite her, he was struck in the face by a guitar, sending his jaw jutting into the air.

Mary's eyes widened, and she looked up to see Blackjacket, holding a guitar. Wielding it like a bat, he roared and struck the zombie multiple times, sending it stumbling towards the window. As the feral recovered from the blow and knocked the guitar out of Blackjacket's hands, Rob barreled into him, sending him flying out the window, his screeches echoing throughout the night.

Turning to the family, Jill said, "Come on!"

"Let's get you to safety," Rob said to a young girl as he picked her up and carried her. Then, the group dashed out the room.

Continuing down the hallway, Jill's group found more Freaks hiding throughout the building, and urged them through the hallway. They were set upon by more ferals, but the group gunned them down as they advanced upon them.

As they exited down a flight of stairs and reached a larger corridor, the group found themselves cut off by a group of ferals. As the savage zombies descended upon the ground, the one at the front was suddenly struck in the head by a garbage can.

Jill jumped, and looked to see who had done it. Her eyes widened in shock.

"Bob?!" She shouted in disbelief.

"Go!" The overweight Other said as the other members of her former group appeared out of the darkness and faced the ferals. "We'll hold them off!" With that, the Andersen's former group and the ferals charged at each other.

Jill's group then rushed in the opposite direction. As they did, they found a demolished wall, with a ladder lying next to it.

"Go!" Jill said, pointing to Rob. Quickly, the large Other rushed to the ladder, and he and a few other Freaks grabbed it and pushed it out of the wall. The ladder was just the right length for it to reach another building with reverting Others on top of it.

"Go, now!" Jill urged the Freaks. Quickly, the Freaks began to walk or climb over the ladder towards the building, the Others on the roof urging them forward. Below them, the Others and Freaks battled amid the burning streets.

Jill's group fired down at the ferals on the streets as they rushed towards the building, some on fire. Jill, meanwhile, guarded the ladder, staring into the darkness of the building, her gun ready in case any ferals appeared.

As she did, she hoped Riley and Bill's group were doing okay.


Riley and Bill's groups rushed to the main section of the building, where they found the crowd of Freaks, all of them in a panic as they realized that the ferals had gotten into the building.

"We're all gonna die!" One man cried in a panic.

Striding to the front of the crowd, the Boss fired one bullet into the air, snapping everyone's attention to him. "No, we're not all going to die!" He bellowed out, slinging the gun over his shoulders. "Remember, everybody; we still have the advantage over these creatures; we just have to find it!"

As the crowd quieted down, Riley ran to the Boss' side, and said, "We have to find a different strategy to fight!" She pointed out. "Everyone, what is the thing you do best? Whatever it is, use it now! That's what makes you yourself!"

As the crowd was reinvigorated, they heard the sounds of the ferals beginning to converge upon the main section of the building.

"Spread out, everyone!" Riley commanded everyone. "This buildings' a big place! Don't let them box you in!"

Taking Riley's advice, the crowd began to scatter to different sections of the building, some to try and find a way to escape. As they did, ferals appeared from the doors and hallways, throwing themselves at fleeing Freaks.

Pale Girl fired the gun wildly at the ferals, knocking them over. As more ferals converged upon her, Pale Girl threw away the gun and lunged at them, tackling the ferals to the ground and clawing them.

Bill and the Boss stood, back-to-back, firing at the ferals as they rushed towards them. Close to him, Noose kicked one feral in the gut, sending him flying back. Grabbing another, he flung him at the Boss, who shot him immediately.

Ghoul, who wasn't quite familiar with how to fire a gun, used it as a bat, striking ferals as they lunged at her. Using a spinning kick, she floored one feral. However, another feral took the opportunity to grab her from behind and lift her into the air.

Whirling upon the two, Riley ran towards them, shouting, "Don't touch her!" She then slammed the butt of her gun into the zombie's face, causing him to let go of Ghoul. The black-haired Other proceeded to kick the zombie right in the face, sending him flying through the air.

As more ferals converged upon the area, a group of Other suddenly rushed out of the hallways, charging at the ferals. The two groups of zombies threw themselves at each other, grappling with each other on the ground.

As Riley rushed towards the hallway where a group of ferals were coming from, she froze in shock.

There, standing at the door, was a giant feral wearing clown makeup. His mouth was covered in red, but she couldn't tell if it was makeup or blood.

"Have some candy," The clown feral growled as he lumbered towards Riley, his arms outstretched. Riley froze in shock, petrified as her childhood fear confronted her.

As the feral clown neared her, however, Riley suddenly snapped out of her trance, and she let out a growl and charged at the feral. The clown swiped at her with his large arms, but Riley ducked under them and proceeded to ram into the feral clown, her head colliding with the feral's gut. The feral clown let out a gasp of air as the wind was knocked out of him, and Riley sent the giant clown flying towards a group of ferals, knocking them through a door leading to a flight of stairs. The ferals plummeted down the steps, bouncing all the way, and landed in a heap at the bottom of the stairs.

The clown looked up, letting out an animalistic groan, and saw Riley, standing at the top of the stairs. The clown's eyes widened as Riley grabbed a shelving rack, and proceeded to send it hurtling down the stairs towards them.

Riley slammed the door, and heard the sound of the rack crashing at the bottom of the stairs where the ferals were. She simply nodded, and turned to where her dad was.

"Come on!" Bill said, urging the group towards the demolished exit. Leaving the zombies to battle, the group ran towards the armored buses amidst the gunners, who were continuing to shoot at the ferals on the street.

Pushing their way through the buses, the group soon found themselves on the street. Multiple ferals were running through the streets, covered in flames. On the roof of the buildings, Others were raining down weapons upon the ferals.

Ghoul turned her head, and saw Jill's group at the demolished wall, climbing aboard the ladder towards the other building.

"There they are!" She shouted, alerting the group to their presence. "Come on!" Immediately, the group rushed towards the building where Jill's group was heading. They couldn't wait to reunite.

However, as they did, they didn't see a scarred Other with butcher knives in his hands, watching them on the sidewalk as they rushed down the streets. With a growl, the Other rushed after them.

The Other was Sawbones.
