satheroth335: Yup, of course without knowing the weak point fighting isn't really effective at the moment. Yeah I did that intentionally :)

Chapter 6: Hellish Monsters

09:04 AM, 9th May 1995

J awoke and quickly got ready.

'Still got a lot to do,' He pondered quietly, 'Gotta find my way out, and figure out why I can't remember anything, hopefully getting my memory back too.'

He readied his weapons and removed the barricade he had set on the door; he then left and headed back out into the street. As he stepped out he stumbled and dropped to his knees, the strange liquid in his right arm was reacting again, his veins were once more prominent with the strain and the pain was excruciating.

'What the fuck, what is this, what did that scientist inject me with?'

Finally the pain subsided; he got back to his feet, feeling unusual. He couldn't place it but something felt different. He continued to walk down the street and finally it clicked.

'Everything's clearer, I can see further, hear things a lot clearer, I feel, stronger too...But how is this possible.'

He was worried about this when suddenly he heard gunfire and screams from the next street. He cut through the nearby alleyway and hurried to the source of the noise. He found it was that girl, Katrina and her friends, they were caught, Holly and Dylan were firing at their assailants. J stared in shock as he realized that the assailants weren't those crazies. It looked like a group of Doberman dogs, however they looked every different, they were decayed, bits of them were missing and they were covered in blood.

Despite their best efforts Dylan and Holly were unable to kill them; the dogs seemed to shrug off the shots. J could see the tendons in the dogs rear legs tighten and he knew they were preparing to pounce. He quickly intervened and opened fire with his two handguns, the dogs flinched and a few of them turned to face him. Working together they managed to finally kill several of the dogs. One leapt towards J, who had no time to reload, He quickly spun around and delivered a roundhouse kick, hitting the dog in the face, an audible snapping noise confirmed that its neck was broken. He stared in surprise at what he had just done.

"How," He whispered to himself, "That shouldn't be possible, how did I do that?"

He looked up and saw the group were staring at him. Katrina was wide-eyed, her eyes glowing with admiration. Dylan was staring at him in amazement; Holly was the first of the group to find her voice.

"How did you do that?"

J shook his head, "I...have no idea." He then decided to get the attention away from him. "Where are the other two?"

"No idea, "Katrina replied, still watching him in admiration, "They disappeared, we're looking for them." She then added suggestively "You can come along."

J sighed and saw Dylan glare at him out the corner of his eye; finally he made up his mind.

"Alright, I guess you guys are gonna need all the help you can get."

So he reloaded his handguns and joined the group.

10:00 AM, 9th May 1995

After waking up Seth quickly looked around, the others were still asleep, he quickly checked around to make sure everything was safe and then woke them up.

"C'mon, we've gotta get moving," He called out, the others woke up, Anita then replied haughtily, "Okay, you guys just follow me, we're going back to the news studio to get that file."

The others rolled their eyes but agreed, after clearing the barricade they headed back outside, Victoria was supporting Harry as they walked. The moment they stepped out they almost ran into a pair of survivors, it was Pete and Myles.

"Hey, you guys are still alive?" Myles called out when he saw them.

Seth smiled at him, "Yeah, good to see you're alive too." The others were surprised at the casual interaction between the two, finally Anita asked, "Do you guys know each other or something.

Myles smirked and replied, "We're cousins," everyone stared in shock; Seth was the cousin of the famous Crystal Blast member.

Seth however shook his head to deflect any questions, "Not the time guys, we've gotta hurry."

Pete however spoke up, "Hey, mind if we tag along."

Seth nodded, "Sure," Anita however shook her head, "Who said you were in charge?"

Seth remained diplomatic however, "We've gotta help them, they're survivors too, like us, we stand a better chance if we stick together."

Anita fumed but said nothing and the group began to leave the alleyway and head for the studio.

Before they could even leave the alleyway the window on the building to their right shattered as a large, decayed blood-stained dog leapt through it, several more dogs also appeared.

"Ah shit, these guys again," Myles moaned, "This is the second time we've run into this pack, they're acting like those crazies."

"Zombies," Tim informed him, using the name they had given them, Myles shrugged.

"We don't have time to mess around, especially with Harry's injury, let's just shot the ones that matter and run."

They agreed and immediately opened fire on the ones blocking their path. They evaded the others as they attacked and ran through the gap as fast as they could. The dogs pursued them but by firing behind them and managing to strike a gas barrel at the mouth of the alleyway they were able to kill them with the explosion. They breathed a sigh of relief before continuing.

They continued through the streets going towards the news studio, they soon arrived at the area where the truck had exploded; the zombies that had been caught in the explosion were still lying there. Suddenly, as the group approached they leapt up with surprising agility and charged at them, they swiftly opened fire but they didn't slow down.

"What the fuck," Tim cried, "This is impossible these guys were dead!"

Seth groaned, "Argh, just shoot and run, c'mon."

They fired at the even more decomposed zombies, noting the change in skin tone; their skin was now blood red, in addition to their greater agility and ferocity. They soon reached a door in the alleyway and hurried through, slamming it shut. Luckily it held and the pursuit ended, still shaken by this turn of events the group continued in their mission and headed for the news studio.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
