The rest of Asami's group, who heard Asami's shout earlier, were discussing the matter
Man 1 – we cant depend on that police girl to help us! No, not just her, the whole police force is useless! The police woman that went for help is dead!
Everyone from Asami's group frowned at this
0000000000
Back with Takashi's group Alice went to Hirano
Alice – Kohta!
Takashi – Hirano, the plan.. is tomorrow. We're leaving
Hirano – that's pretty sudden don't you think?
Takagi – if you disagree then say so! By the way, the other group heard what that police woman just said, get it? Now they know that no one's going to come and help them! They know that the police are useless now
0000000000
Man 1 – the police should be protecting us!
Old man 2 – d-don't get your hopes up! The police these days are just a bunch of lazy asses
Woman – what do we do now!?
Man 2 – we should find a safe place
Woman – and where would that be?
Man 2 – the police station or something like that would be the only-
Man 3 – how could we get there? Cars don't work anymore, you know. If we tried walking that old lady would probably die just like the police
Woman – those kids! Lets go together with the kids until we find the police
Shimada – I don't know about that. Those bastards don't care about anybody but themselves. Think about it, we all know we still have a chance of getting everything back to normal, but they're already toting guns around and doing whatever they feel like. They're even getting bikes ready at the back exit so they can leave
Woman – they did stop you from raping that one woman though
Shimada – wanna say that again bitch!?
Man 1 – cut it out! The point is we cant rely on those kids!
Old man 2 – kids these days are just a bunch of lazy asses!
Man 3 – what are you going on about now, old man?
Man 1 – anyway we need to get out of here and find a safe place
Shimada – seriously? We have tons of food and water here! As long as we keep the entrances closed off the monster wont get in!
Woman – how about we stay here until all of that is gone? Only thing we don't have enough here is women for you to violate
Shimada – shut the fuck up!
Student – you're gonna die..
The student grabbed a knife
Man 1 – h-hey now, what are you saying?
Student – you're all gonna die, nobody's gonna save us! There's no safe place! You're gonna die! And you're all gonna turn into monsters!
Man 3 – hey, don't go bunching us all together like that!
Student – I'm a huge fan of zombie movies! So I know everything! Those high school kids are going to be eaten! It doesn't matter if they have guns! It doesn't make any bit difference! You cant do a thing! Humanity is dommed! Hahahaha!
Old man 2 – movies are not real!
The second old man dropped his cigar
Old man 2 – your parents must be ashamed of you!
Man 4 – hey old man! That's how fires gets started! The sprinklers wont work and the fire fighters wont very well come to help us!
Old man 2 – I don't care! If it bothers you so much you put it out!
Man 4 – you must be going senile you old man!
The old couple were heading off somewhere
Shimada – where do you think you're going?
Old man 1 – well.. I was just thinking it would be good if we got some fresh air on the roof
Shimada – how can you be so level-headed at a time like this?
0000000000
Back with Takashi's group they were all in the lingerie shop
Rei – y-you hid the weapons here?
Hirano and Takashi were grabbing their guns out from the pile of lingerie. The other girls were dumbstruck with this
Takagi – which one of you came up with this?
Hirano and Takashi pointed at each other. Saeko then smiled and turned to Tetsuya who already has his crossbow and a small bag on his back waist
Saeko – were you in this as well?
Tetsuya looked away with a curvy smile
Tetsuya – I-I was just following the leader's o-orders.. that's all..
Takashi and Hirano all have their guns now
Takashi – we only have about 30 shotgun shells left
Hirano – we don't even have 150 rounds for the rifle. If we start shooting we're going to run out fast. If we want to keep using these, we'll need to find some more ammo somehow
Tetsuya – I don't think the police or the self-defence force have any to give us. Maybe we could find some at a gun shot?
Takagi – good idea, I think there's one south of the castle
Hirano – its probably been looted already, so I wouldn't hope for much
Takashi – hey Hirano, I can understand why you're in a bad mood but-
Hirano – but what!?
Takashi – if there's anything you want to say, say it. I don't want to be your enemy. I'd rather keep my life
Hirano raised an eyebrow
Hirano – you give up pretty easily Komuro
Takashi smiled
Hirano – though I guess I do too
Rei – um.. about the ammo.. I can use my gun like a spear and if we shoot they will surround us anyway. So even without ammo we should be-
Hirano – without ammo though, I cant fight like you guys
Rei – oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean
Takashi – Rei, don't sweat the small stuff like that. Everyone's having a tough time, so its not a big deal
Rei – alright
Tetsuya – if we run out of ammo use my crossbow. I can fight at close range and if you run out of arrows I'll be the one to pull it out from their skulls and toss them back at you
Takagi – oh! That's a great idea! If you can somehow retrieve the arrow of the crossbow you can use it again. Its like a never ending gun!
Hirano – really!? That's amazing! We're gonna be an awesome combo when we do that!
Tetsuya – its all because of you bro, you're awesome yourself
Saeko – I think we should confirm our plans for the future
Tetsuya – I agree
0000000000
Another student with a knife was at the back. He was holding his knife and a bag
Student 1 – you think you guys are going to win alone? Don't treat me like an idiot.. you get what you deserve.. its like you guys got all this ready for me
The other student then arrived
Student 2 – don't open the door!
Student 1 – I can do it. I wont lose. I can beat those monsters or whatever they are
He then opened the door
Student 1 – I CAN DO IT!
0000000000
Back with Takashi's group they were discussing the future plans
Saeko – we had a plan set up! But things have already changed rather than leaving tomorrow morning as planned, we're leaving today as soon as possible. In other words, we cant always count on things working out according to plan
Tetsuya – in that case, we need a plan B. Our current goal is to make sure our and Miyamoto's parents are alright
Takashi – yeah, after Hirano and I checked the second floor emergency stairwell to make sure everything's safe, we'll open the exit
Tetsuya – the first thing is to go to our homes and see if our parents are there. After that we'll think of a safe place to escape with them! In the case that we don't fine them there
Takagi – we should just go to other places close by where they may be! The east police station and Onbetsu Elementary
Shizuka – but what if they're not there either? If that happens..
Takashi's hand was shaking
Rei – I don't really want to think about it.. but we'll end the search there. Then.. we'll just do our best to stay alive
Takagi – don't mind giving up?
Rei – its not giving up. We just.. have other things to worry about
Saeko – if it comes to that, it'll just become a matter of learning to adapt..
Tetsuya – we'll use the bikes to get around for as long as we can. Hirano how should we mobilize? I've heard the military has a term for this. What was it.. R.O- or something?
Hirano grinned
Hirano – R.O.E. Rules of Engagement! The first order of business is to find and join Tetsuya, Komuro, and Miyamoto's parents! We need to act suitably to accomplish that! To reach our goal, we'll have to mobilize like a special forces until and infiltrate the enemy's territory!
Takagi – avoid them at all costs, and if we do run into them..
Alice – run away! Even if you cant run..
Shizuka – you shouldn't react by screaming or shooting
Tetsuya – and if we're forced to fight, only the ones with melee weapons should attack, and when they do attack do it as quite as possible
Rei – it sounds difficult already. I feel so bad making you all come with us
Takashi – I know I've said it before, but from here on its just for me, Tetsuya, and Rei. You guys have no reason to stay with us
Takagi – that's not gonna work
Alice – big brother, you know that doesn't change anything
Shizuka – it is scary out there but I'd rather go out there than be separated from all of you
Hirano – I made something you can put on the shotgun!
Saeko – I'm also in with you guys together
Tears appeared on Rei's eyes
Rei – I guess you guys are right..
Tetsuya – thanks you, everyone. This means a lot to us
Takashi – yeah, thanks
Takashi turned to Hirano
Takashi – what was it that you made for my shotgun Hirano?
Hirano – oh, right! Its just made of some clamps and break pads that are meant to be used with bicycles and skewer.. so it'll probably break after one use
Hirano pointed at the sharp thin object at the end of the shotgun's barrel
Takashi – no.. this is good. It gives me another alternative
Tetsuya – another alternative? It almost sounds like you enjoy the thought
Takashi – I do have a good teacher after all
Alice – uhm.. where's my weapon?
Takashi, Tetsuya, and Hirano went silent
Tetsuya – uhm.. y-you really don't need one Alice
Hirano – yeah! I'm your weapon! Komuro, Tetsuya, and Zeke are too!
Takashi – yeah, you don't have to carry anything!
Alice then smiled
Alice – okay!
Alice then ran up to Takagi again
Tetsuya – but for how long does it take for her not to carry weapons?
Hirano – yeah, she'll have to use some weapon eventually
Takashi – eventually!? Guys she's just a kid! We cant let her use a gun!
Tetsuya – bro, the world is ending. Corpses are coming back to life and started attacking people. If they wont get you the other psychotic living will.
Takashi – but we cant just give a kid a gun!
Tetsuya – if we don't give her a gun, one of them might attack and kill her, if she has a gun she cant fight back
Hirano – Tetsuya has a point Komuro, the world we knew is over. We need to accept its change
Takashi softened his eyes and looked down
Takashi – I know..
Tetsuya – by the way, about Asami. You should try talking to her
Hirano – she called me a four-eyed pig
Tetsuya walked over to him and placed his hand on his shoulder
Tetsuya – Hirano.. Asami is just in a shock, she didn't mean what she said
Hirano lowered his head, his glasses was illuminating from the light
Hirano – she sounded like she meant it though
Tetsuya – well she didn't. I know that it hurts to be insulted, I really do. But would you, Hirano Kohta our badass sniper shooter, would really let himself be defeated by just words?
Hirano didn't reply, he just turned his head around
Tetsuya – you're stronger than this Hirano, don't let it get to you. As for Asami, I'm sure that when she gets over her shock, she'll apologize to you
Hirano smiled a little
Hirano – thanks Tetsuya
Tetsuya – anytime bro
Takashi – yeah dude, if you're not okay, then we're not. We're in this together
Hirano then smiled
Hirano – alright! Yeah, you guys are right!
Hirano then ran off
Takashi – hurry up!
Tetsuya – don't take too long now!
Takagi then walked up to them as Hirano ran off
Takagi – it could be advantageous if we had a police officer around
Takashi and Tetsuya turned to her
Tetsuya – really?
Takagi – I know you guys are just how you are but that line of thinking will just get in the way! Besides, you have your own relationship issues to worry about. Blood is spilled in human relationship for two reasons. Money and sex
Takashi – sex?
Tetsuya – huh..
Tetsuya imagined Saeko and Takashi imagined Rei
Voice – DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME!
They all heard this
0000000000
At the rooftop Asami was sitting all by herself
Asami – Asami's just useless. She always does her best but she's still useless. Her boyfriend left her and she's a failure of a police officer. And even Kohta doesn't like her. What's the point of living when she cant do anything right..?
The old couple arrived at the edge of the rooftop
Old man – here we are. Are you feeling okay?
Old lady – yes, I'm fine
Asami stood up and turned to them
Asami – ah.. what's wrong? Its dangerous over there!
Old man – oh well.. what about you officer? Are you alright?
Asami – um, uh.. she's just a little tired
The old couple then bowed down
Old man – t hank you for everything
Old lady – you helped me stay alive a little longer, thank you
Asami – no, Asa- I mean this officer didn't do anything special! Its Kohta you should be thanking!
Old lady – no its you
Old man – if not for you, we'd be done for already
Asami – no, no, even if Asami wasn't here it wouldn't be any-
Hirano – Asami!
Asami turned to Hirano who just arrived on the rooftop and was panting
Asami – Kohta..?
Hirano – Asami! Come with me!
Asami – ah, uh.. by come with you do you mean.. I'm so glad you- ah, no, I mean.. but Asami, Asami cant be called a real police officer so you just.. I mean, uh..
Asami lowered her head and tears started to fall off her eyes
Asami – Kohta.. you.. take her with you!
Asami then jumped onto Hirano with a hug
Asami – let Asami come with you! Asami wants to stay with Kohta!
Voice – DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME!
Hirano and Asami heard this
Hirano – lets go!
Asami – y-yes!
Hirano and Asami ran off. The old couple were still on the roof
Old lady – its so nice being young
Old man – we used to be just like that. I always wanted to have a daughter like her
Old lady – we'll be able to in heaven..
With that the old couple went to the edge and leaped off the roof. They died together
0000000000
At the back the first student stabbed second student and he fell on his knees
Student 2 – y-you fucking shitting me.. that didn't just happen!
The other members of Asami's former group panicked as the second student rolled around
Student 2 – agh! It hurts! Argh! Shit, shit!
The others were too scared to do anything
Man 3 – that little asshole actually stabbed him!
Woman – what should we do..? what should we do!? He's in pain!
Old man – q-quickly! W-We need to wrap it up!
Woman – how!? You do it if you know so much!
Old man – d-don't look at me, I don't know how!
The other man ran off
Man 3 – are you running away!?
Man 2 – I'm gonna go get that nurse!
The second man walked out and saw multiple zombies walking inside the front door
Man 2 – they're here.. oh my god, they're inside! They're coming in through the emergency exit!
The rest of Asami's former group paled. The zombies spread in and overran the first floor. All of the living ones ran up to the second floor
Shimada – grab that furniture over there!
Old man – what!?
Woman – what the hell do we need that for!?
Shimada – we can block the stairs off with it! We have to abandon the first floor!
Man 2 – f-fucking hell.. f-fuck-
The second man tried to run but he bumped into someone. He looked up and saw Tetsuya who was holding his machete and looking down on him. Behind Tetsuya is the rest of the group with their weapons and gears
Man 2 – uh.. b- big trouble.. there was a knife- they're in
Tetsuya grabbed the man's shoulders
Tetsuya – get a hold of yourself and tell us what happened, man!
The others saw Shimada and the woman barricading the stairs with furniture and stuff
Takashi – looks like they're giving up the first floor and making a barricade with furniture
Takagi – that wont do shit! There's not enough hands or time. We need to get out of here.
Saeko – we should take the emergency exit. There's one on the second floor
Rei – there's a staircase there
Shizuka – I'm afraid of heights..
Takashi – I'll go ahead! Hirano, you back me up! Don't shoot unless its to save your life!
Man 2 – w-wait! What about us? What should we-
Asami – that's for you to figure out. Its all over.. you're on your own now
Man 2 – huh!?
Asami – right, you need to figure out what to do for yourselves.. y-you should decide what to do on your own. Because Asami's made a big decision. She's going to quit being a police officer
Everyone smiled and Hirano gave a thumps up. Asami's former group then widened their eyes. Saeko then saw something and dashed to it. Behind the barricade there was one zombie and she used her katana to stab its head
Saeko – there is no time! We need to hurry!
Takashi – right, lets go!
They all ran though the hall. The second man followed them just in case
Takashi – this way!
Takashi led the way to the barricade as the others followed
Man 2 – weren't you guys going to escape on your own?
Rei – well yeah! We are, but..
Saeko – an honourable man follows the code of chivalry
Takagi – we always seem to be responsible for everyone else' esprit de corps
At the barricade three zombies already broke through
Shimada – game over!
Takashi – you just gotta hit reset!
Takashi used the pointed object that Hirano attached to the gun and stabbed a zombie's head. An arrow came flying and hit the head of the zombie. It was done by Tetsuya nearby with his crossbow
Tetsuya – bro, look out!
The third one was about to bite Takashi when Asami used her baton and smack it with her baton.
Asami – no!
The others saw this and smiled. Shimada was shocked on the other hand. Asami giggled but two zombies were coming from behind her. Rei then stabbed one with her bayonet
Rei – I hope I never get used to killing like this!
Saeko – look on the bright side
Saeko slashed the other one's head off with a grin on her face
Saeko – at least you're better off.. than me!
Tetsuya then grabbed the arrows and put it on the crossbow's arrow case
Tetsuya – crossbows are nice. As long as you can reach the used arrows you can use it again
Hirano – yeah, its like unlimited
Tetsuya – glad I didn't use this against the hordes. I'll ran out of arrows when that happens
Takagi – you should just use it on small numbers of them
Tetsuya – yeah, that's what I planned
Shimada was amazed at them. He turned to Takashi
Shimada – uh.. can I ask you something?
Takashi – sure I guess
Shimada – what the hell are you guys?
Takashi – oh, well..
Takashi turned to the others. More zombies were climbing the stairs and Tetsuya used his machete this time. Rei and Saeko backed him up with their weapons. Hirano hit a zombie off the edge with the back side of the gun
Takashi – we're high school students, of course
Takagi – they're coming from the over there too!
Takagi grabbed her pistol and aimed at them
Takagi – I'm gonna shoot!
Hirano – ah no! Don't!
Takagi – what now fat ass!? Do you have a better idea!?
Hirano – it-its just that they're more than 50meters away! You don't have any practice with that gun, so even with a stock there's almost no way you'll hit! And besides..
Takagi – what!?
Hirano – you didn't receive any orders to fire from our leader!
Takagi blushed in embarrassment at Takashi as he smirked
Takagi – well geez, I'm sorry!
Takashi – don't be sorry, you made a good observation. I should have noticed them sooner
Takagi – we get it, you're the big guy. But.. what about the ones over there? They'll reach us soon
Takashi – oh..
Takagi – oh!?
Tetsuya – so bro, what now?
Saeko – are we changing plans?
Takashi grinned
Takashi – isn't that what we always do?
Takashi turned to the rest
Takashi – Hirano and the police girl should go secure the emergency exit! Rei and Saya, you cover Ms. Shizuka and Alice! Saeko, Tetsuya, and I will guard the rear!
Alice – big brother, can I bring the bike?
Takashi gave a thumps up and Alice rode it happily
Woman – wh-what about us!? What do we do!?
Takashi – how should I know?
Man 2 – what's that suppose to mean!? You're just gonna leave us!?
Man 1 – you're going to leave an injured person to die!?
Shizuka – its okay, this wound isn't life threatening
Takashi – you can try to escape along with us or you could hide on the roof. Its up to you better decide quick
Old man – I've never seen such irresponsible young people!
Tetsuya pointed his machete at them
Tetsuya – shut the fuck up you old geezer! We're irresponsible? Don't make me laugh! We're responsible with our own lives! If anyone who's irresponsible here that would be you! Do something for yourself and not rely on others! We don't give a fuck if you're old, we cant be looking after your life if we got out hands on our own lives!
Old man – you should respect your elders young man! I'm much older than you!
Tetsuya – I respect whoever respects me! Regardless of age! We're gonna protect our lives, not your lives! We don't give a fuck if you escape, trapped in here, or fuck a pony. You're on your own and that's that, so die slow motherfucker!
Old man – your parents must be ashamed!
Takashi – they might be, but we wont know until we find them. But give us a break here, we're only high school students
That silent the others as Tetsuya grinned
Shimada – I'm getting out of here. There's no point in hanging around here anymore!
Woman – wh-what!? You're running away too!?
Saeko – I don't mean to rush you, but we need to hurry. They're coming
0000000000
At the emergency exit with Hirano and Asami
Asami – Kohta!
Hirano – what is it?
Asami – Asami gets it now. Everything's clear to her
Hirano – what do you mean?
They opened the door to the emergency exit. They then saw dozens of zombies in the parking lot
Tetsuya – th-this his aweful. We wont be able to get out on bikes like this. We need something to draw them away! Maybe if I snipe from here..
Asami thought of an idea
Asami – Asami will be right back!
Hirano – huh? Uh, okay!
Asami and Hirano ran inside and met up with the others
Takagi – what? Did something happen?
Takashi – what's going on?
Asami – there's something Asami needs! Cover her!
Rei – I'll go!
Takashi – good luck!
Asami and Rei arrived at a store
Asami – here it is!
Rei – what are you looking for?
Asami started to search around
Asami – lets see. Regular fireworkd wont work, we need those thongs that blow up with you throw them. What were those called again? Not these, not these either
Rei – you mean cracker balls?
Asami – oh yeah! We need some firecrackers and some of these too!
They put the fireworks in a basket
Rei – why do you need- oh!
Asami put the fireworks in a paper bag
Asami – here, give this to Alice!
Rei- shouldn't we test them first?
Asami – oh right, do you have a lighter?
Rei – I'm in high school!
Asami looked around and saw the old man lighting his cigar. She then took it from him
Old man – what the hell are you doing!?
Asami – sorry, bit in public places..
Asami lit the firecrackers
Asami – smoking is not allowed!
Asami threw the firecrackers. It then blew up and the zombies were led to that direction. Everyone saw this and smiled
Tetsuya – oh nice!
Asami – alright!
Takagi – right! Of course! Why didn't I think of that!?
Alcie – why are you mad, Saya?
Takagi – because I'm me!
Takagi playfully pulled her cheeks again
Asami – here Alice!
Alice – what's that for?
Takagi – just pipe down and ill tell you
Saeko – everyone , they're still coming
Takashi – let get out through the emergency exit!
They all ran off
Woman – how can you leave so suddenly!?
Old man – k-k-kids these days, I swear!
Man 3 – I'm just glad the brats are out of our hair! I'm going to the roof! What about !?
Man 1 – I.. I..
The third man was then grabbed by the zombies and was ate behind the first man
Man – NO! NO! DON'T EAT ME!
Old man – s-stop! Wait for me!
The old man tried to run but was cornered and has his back against the wall
Old – why? how!? Dead bodies coming back and eating people!? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!
The zombies were coming in close
Old man – this cant.. this cant be.. THIS CANT BE HAPPENING! AAAAGHHH!
The zombies came closer to the old man and eventually surrounded him. The student has still his knife and he stabbed a zombies neck
Student – yes! Yes! If I'm done for then I'm gonna go out like a badass!
He started running forward and swinging his knife but he was surrounded and eaten as well
