Thanks for waiting haha. I would like to thank all of the reviewrs that like this so far. It means a lot that you do.

And I know that the whole scene with Zion and Rebecca was random but I wanted to give the girl something before I brutally killed her off. And Stephanie was the girl at the end, she didn't want a payment. She just said it to be funny.

Ok. With that out of the way here we go...

Easy Come, Easy Go

Still in her gym uniform Carmina runs through the halls of her school trying her best not to get killed. It was just a while ago she was looking forward to talking to her secret crush about how she feels. And now the crazed flesh eaters that stormed in the school are eating him. She feels alone in this world. Everyone she meets just runs right by her not even giving her a second glance. Even the usual perverts of the school just run by without trying to take advantage. It starts to get to her quick; being alone in this hell isn't something she could handle. But she is broken from her train of thought by one of 'Them'. The thing grabs her shirt and pulls her towards it for a bite. She lets out a scream and gives it a mean left hook cracking the skull of her attacker easily. Another one grabbed her from behind and aimed for her exposed neck. She caught on quick and held it's held back with her hands but it just got closer and closer. "Someone please" she whispered.

A grunting noise came from the corpse and its weight just got lighter. The grip it had on her loosened then it was off her completely. It fell to the floor still giving off a moan, as it seemed to die slowly. Carmina slowly turned around to find a small knife had been stabbed into its head. She looked over to her savior; it was a guy in khaki slacks and blue shirt. The black cap he wore covered his face a bit so she couldn't make out whom it really was. But she didn't care it was someone who saved her life and cared enough to help. She ran into him and gave him a hug repeating the words 'Thank You' over and over again. The young man just stood there not knowing what to do or say at the moment. He moved his hat and just spoke out two words "No…Problem"

The girl giggled and pulled away from him. She could tell that he was extremely shy at the moment. He gripped his police baton and asked, "Are you…armed?"

Carmina lifted up her hands and smiled "Nope. But if you want we can go to my locker near the science classroom on the second floor that holds my weapons". The young man felt nervous at her reply but nodded to her as he walked by her. "The names Albert…Al would be fine too".

She couldn't help but giggle again. The girl ran in front of him and gave him a quick wink "I'm Carmina…nice to meet ya"

The chaos around them made things oddly uncomfortable while they ran to the lockers. Kids killing other kids, teachers letting the students die as they ran to their cars, even the school nurse had run away. But not all was lost; other classmates were fighting back and taking care of fellow classmates. This gave the two teens hope of surviving if some sort of humanity was still out there. They make it to the lockers without any trouble.

"Oh goodie! No one touched it!" she skipped to the locker that looked like a janitors closet. Albert had thought she had a gun or something in her school locker but what could she have hidden in a locker like that. She opened it and tossed out various items from the locker and pulled out to long items covered in sheets.

"Hold these will ya" she said cheerfully. All he could do is hold them and try to guess what they were. So while she was rummaging through the locker he felt the things in his arms and guessed to what they were. But before he could even take a guess she popped back up and took them off his hands. The girl had unwrapped them to reveal a katana with a sheath and hilt completely white. And a bo-staff that was completely blue as if it was made of water. The girl placed the straps she pulled out of the locker and strapped the weapons to her.

"Ok…NOW I'm armed" she unsheathed her blade. Albert felt a bit intimidated by the girl but knew it was his job to cover her. As they walked towards the way they came an explosion erupts from behind them.

A girl screams from that direction. They both run towards the source to find a large group of 'Them' surrounding a girl in a pink shirt. She seems hurt by the look on her face "H…ellllp" was all she could say before collapsing onto a table. Albert leapt into action and cracked one of the things skulls with his baton. Carmina took action soon after him and cut right through them with her katana. She was quick, the numbers lessened as they both took out the group with great speed. Albert gripped his chest a bit before he slowly walked up to the unconscious girl. The perky girl next to him took note of it but decided to bring it up later.

More began to pour in from the halls; the explosion must've been a signal for 'Them'. Albert gave Carmina a look and went off to fight alone. She didn't object to the idea seeing as she had a job to do with the girl on the table.

Albert had to buy them some time so he took his baton and shoved it into the mouth of one of the walking corpses. He removed it and cracked it skull with one quick motion dropping it dead. One came at him so he punched it in its rib hard enough to stagger it a bit for him to hit it in face with a roundhouse kick. It flew out the window and landed on its head. Quickly taking his baton to hold one of 'Them' in a way so it won't bite him a pain shoots up his body. He lets go of the grip and falls to one knee, it took control of him and blood soon filled his mouth. "Al look out!" Carmina yelled as two came after him from the side. He took the only action he could so he shoved his foot into one of attacking bodies' chest and used all his strength to toss it out the window. Rolling backwards as the body flew out the window he regained some of his stamina. There were only two left at the moment so he used the tactic that seemed to work at the time. He moved behind the nearest walker and grabbed its shirt to make it easier for him to toss him closer to the window. The other corpse took its steps forward; he used his baton to set them both up for a single blow. He jump kicked one when both were in line causing both to fly right out the window.

The area was clear for now, Albert limped towards the two women and sat down on a chair. He took in a deep breath before looking over to the girl that was watching over the sleeping one. She shook her head letting him know that she wasn't awake or injured in any sort of way. With that he loosened up a bit and let his body relax for at least a second. Carmina double-checked the girl just in case she might have missed something. But there was nothing on the girls body but bruises, it made her wonder what type of girl she was if she had that many bruises on her body. She stopped at her face and noticed a bit of blood so she cleaned it off but in doing so she leaned a bit too close to the girls face. The girl squirmed a bit and placed her arms around Carmina's neck. The teen was too shocked to move and was afraid of what might happen if she moved away. The girl in pink smiled at the smell of the woman in front of her and opened her eyes a bit. She couldn't make out whom it was but she knew it had to be her mentor or wished it were. So she moved in for a kiss and got to taste the sweet lips she always wanted to kiss. Something felt odd to her so she opened her eyes more and realized it was some else entirely.

The look on her face was of pure shock and the color was bright red. The girl in pink slowly moved back from her and stood up from the table. Carmina had been immobilized by the action that it still took its time sink into her head.

"Um…I'm sorry…are you ok? I'm Jill by the way. And you are?" She said while blushing. "I'm Albert…and…that girl…is…Carmina" the girl jumped in shock from the man that she hadn't noticed was there. She looked him over and could tell that he was in pain by something. Quickly rummaging through the cabinets she pulled out a bottle filled with a red liquid and placed the tip on Albert's lips. "Drink it" without letting him reply she poured it down his throat. The drink had lessened the pain and gave him a boost of energy while returning to him his lost vitality.

He took the bottle and observed it "What was that?"

"I call it Vita-Pro. It can bring back your lost energy and give you that extra boost to fight off any opponent. Plus it doesn't have a bad side effect…that will get you killed…maybe" She mumbled the end so Albert wouldn't catch on but he did.

"What?" he stood up quick

"What did you do to him?" Carmina finally snapping out of the frozen state asks from a far.

"Lets not worry about the possibilities and worry about what we are going to do to get out of L.A. alive. You can bet that the government will be setting up checkpoints around the state if this isn't happening around the world that is" she opens up a door to a storage room and starts to pack up chemicals and more bottles of various colored liquids into a bag. "So Alby and Mina. Do you mind if I tag along?" the last thing she took from inside the room was a long staff covered with angel wings carved around it.

Albert nodded in approval "Its just Al by the way"

The three walked out of the classroom to find nothing but silence. Not one sound can be heard which gives the three an uneasy feeling. They head for the stairs and silently walk down the steps so nothing is lured to them.

Making it to the first floor without running into anything gave them hope to getting out of the school alive. But things don't always play out like they hope; a loud crash can be heard from the outside. They run towards the front door and Albert kicks it open to find out why the school seemed empty. The entire school had somehow filled the entire area outside of the place. Students and teachers were heading for any vehicle that can be used as a way to escape. While the dead creep up behind them to get a free meal as the living try to get in their cars. The three look at each other and decide to help in any way they can for they too needed a way out of the city. Jill took out three bottles full of green liquids.

"Just drink it and go" she commanded them before handing them the bottles and drinking her own. They followed suit and ran towards the mob.

xXx

Streets are filled with bodies and crazed citizens killing anything that moved around them. So he skated as fast as his feet and board allowed him to go. Passing right by all the horror that filled the downtown area of L.A. Ben had no idea that he would have to survive an apocalypse before he went to bed last night. Maybe the usual day of lying to himself and his friends about whom he really is but not this. This was too much even for him to get a grip on let alone live through. Having people shoot at him or try to eat his flesh has been proven to be rather difficult. He turned into an alleyway to find three of 'Them' waiting at the end. "Shit yo"

He got off his board before he crashed into the three. He kicked his board up into his hands and looked it over. The metal he placed around the board to keep it from breaking has proven to be useful as a blunt object. He gripped it in his hands then rushed towards the three to finish them quick. Blow after blow to the head dropped the walkers to the ground lifeless.

"That's right bitches! Ya can't keep this man cornered!" he got back on his board and rushed off to where ever his random sense of direction leads him. He can't go back home cause no one is there at the moment to check on. So he is just skating on a whim to try and find a place to be or at least a safe place to hide. And just as he turns a corner he bumps into someone he didn't expect to run into.

"It's you" they both said at the same time.

Ben had bumped into the same guy he had met not too long ago. The creepy guy in the trench coat, but this time he was holding a bloody broomstick. Even though he felt that weird aura again this time Ben decided to speak up. "Yo"

"Either you move or I will make you" the man said as he gripped the stick in his hand.

"Aye man, chill out. Just wanna let you know that-" he kicked his board into his hand and swung it in one fast motion. But only came in contact with his arm since the guy stopped it with not much effort. He forced the weapon from its owner and looked it over while keeping the young man back with his stick. Ben just moved around him like a child trying to get his toy back from a bully.

"Come oooooooooooon! Give me back my board!" desperately trying to get it back

"Funny. You were going to strike me down a minute ago but now you can't even get to your precious weapon" the man just tossed his board behind him and walks away. "I have someone to get to. Now leave me"

"Fuck that!" the teen runs for his board and catches it. He turns to find his foe had already disappeared from the area. Pissed off, he jumps on a car to scan the area for a sign of where he might have gone. Not much can be seen over the buildings and car wrecks, but he catches a glimpse of the guys' trench coat before it disappears behind a building. With that he jumps off the car and runs right after him "You ain't getting away dawg"

Speed mattered in this chase. Ben took the advantage of his board and sped through the sidewalks. He managed to catch up to the guy to watch him run up some stairs to a large building sitting above the hill it was on. It had to be some sort of temple or dojo he thought. Ben sprung into action, running up the stairs to get right behind that guy and take him out. When he gets to the top he finds a large group of the dead attacking a small group of old guys and a young girl. The guy he chased went straight in and started taking out some of the dead with his stick. Ben wasn't about to let that guy show him up so he jumps into the fight as well.

Both the men strike the horde of 'Them' with full force. The girl yells out to the two men as she slices through the oncoming swarm. "Jorge! You need to stop the ones that are heading for the inside". A small group stumbles to the screaming women and children inside the dojo. Ben and the now named Jorge get by the crowd to try to put a stop to the oncoming horde. One managed to grab a child and pull the tiny body to the floor. He squirmed underneath the dead man its teeth getting closer to the soft flesh. Its saliva drips onto the poor child's clothes sticking it to his skin. The kid closes its eye shut to and screams from the top of its lungs hoping it didn't bite down.

No pain was felt but the pressure of its body on top of the kid. Jorge kicks the body off the kid and silently orders the kid to run away. The infant can tell that it was struck in the head to prevent it from biting. Waiting to make sure the kid had gone, Jorge made his way to a box full of tools and found a flashlight and a hammer. It would have to do since his stick has become completely useless. Taking his place next to the skater boy, the young man spins both weapons around in his hands. "Ready?"

Ben just laughs and charges for the three nearest them. He pulls off a handstand on his board in front of one of 'Them' and winds up. After a few seconds lets go and lunges foreword with an upwards kick to its face, using the momentum to drag the body to the floor and landing right on its skull. The cracking sound and feel of its chunks explode didn't effect him as much as he thought it would. He then swings his board to smack the head of another corpse to drop it. The opening allowed him to impale the board into its skull and drag it to the floor with all his might. The last one made its attempt to attack but failed to do so. This allowed him to trip the thing in order for him to brutally bash its head in with his board.

Jorge had more to deal with but with his uses of the two short-range weapons the things were being disposed of quick. The flashlight proved to be useful by luring the dead into the hammer. He gripped one with the flashlight and hammered the skull until it popped open. Two more charged in for a kill. He threw his hammer into the skull of one and used the flashlight to hold him in a lock. Positioning him to lean in forward, he rammed the walker straight into the wall. After a few hits it stopped moving so he ran to pick up his hammer. The remaining five had taken the opening from his retrieval and lunged forward. Hitting the closest one with the bud end of the flashlight, it stumbled back. Jorge took the chance to hit it with his hammer; it hit hard enough to drive the weapon deep into the skull. But this left him weaponless against four of 'Them'.

Ben was busy taking care of the other three that sprung in to even notice that his nemesis was being surrounded. The young man could only stall for time until he had an opening to get to a weapon of some sort. But before he even thought of a plan one of 'Them' had been cut in half from behind.

"Don't you dare!" The young girl ripped through it like it was paper. She flinched at the blood pouring out of it. She fought away the thought from her brain and charged at the others. Hitting one with her hilt it moved back a bit allowing her to thrust her sword into its stomach. Turning the sword upwards to slice it in half as she moves it up. Then she quickly jumped behind the next one and drives her blade down its entire body while falling. With only one left she takes her blade and cuts the dead body into four different directions. The body parts slide off each other very slowly then fall to the ground when she sheathes her blade.

"I'm grateful Yukiko" Jorge turned to check up on his stalker to find that he finished off the things on his side. The girl in her training gear caught his attention again when she starts to check up on the civilians hiding in the dojo "Is everyone here ok?"

They all answered yes. The answers filled the girl with relief as they had prevented any casualties, for now that is. Ben makes his way over to the two friends and takes a knee. He wasn't used to fighting especially fighting against things that were both weak and strong. Jorge couldn't care less about the teen but Yukiko did and she knelt down beside him. "Thank you for helping" she patted his back before getting up and checking outside. The elders have already gotten rid of most of the threat that disturbed their home. Relief again fills her mind. This disaster might not be over yet but today they kept it at bay. Her attention then turned to the blade by her side, the family naginata. It wasn't her idea to take the blade away from its resting spot but it had to be done at the moment. "Father forgive me"

Jorge couldn't shake the feeling of wanting to cause more pain to the already dead that were walking. But in order to stay in the dojo he had to remain sane so he won't get removed for being crazy. Gripping the flashlight he still held tightly so the feeling would hopefully just go away. He made his way next to the girl; she had a way of suppressing the madness within him. Ben also wobbled his way to the girl and sat down right next to her. "So now what?"

The girl had nothing to say; neither did her sparring partner beside her.

"Easy come, easy go huh"

Silence just filled the air. Nothing but the sounds of the swords being put away and the sun beaming over them from the sky above. The day was only getting started, so the three head inside with the elders.

They all pause at the sound of cars colliding in front of the stairs leading to up to the dojo. People are heard screaming for help and the moans of the dead follow right after. The three teens head for the stairs to the sight of three school buses pushed together and one on its side. Students jumping out of the wreck while others crawl away. Some had turned to 'Them' already, eating anything they could sink their teethes into. Three students in particular were trying to help the other students escape. One wielding a Katana, another with a staff, and the last with two police batons were getting rid of what they could.

The three teens from the dojo were about to help when a voice from behind them yelled in authority "DO NOT"

Yukiko knew that voice all too well and just ignored it. She skipped steps running down to help the others. Jorge turned around and bowed in apology as he followed the girl. Ben just laughed "Well…well…well. I think I actually like this girl. Not trying to diss you G…but I think I'll be going now. Be back soon BITCH"

Jill, Albert, and Carmina try to hold of the dead as the students try to get out of the wreck. If only those who were bitten hadn't have lied to stay on the bus this accident wouldn't have happened. And now they are all being eaten at the moment cause the few refused to admit the truth. The sight of those things ripping apart the living has taken its toll on the three. Too many lives were lost on their escape and now more were being taken. Carmina took her sword and drove it straight through the neck of one of her attacker. She switched her weapon to her bo-staff and twirled it around her to push back the others. This opened it up for Jill; she took the initiative for slamming her staff into the skulls of those who fell to the ground. Albert helped the other classmates move towards the near by building while using his batons to bash the heads of the oncoming dead that roll to him. They had learned to work off each other and took advantage of the different styles.

The other three made certain that some students made their way to the dojo safely. But with all of the six working together the numbers of the dead grew more and more by the second.

Jorge analyzed the scene and ran for the three in the middle of the wreck. He couldn't tell from a far but now he was certain about it. The girl with the katana was someone he knew from a long time ago. "Carmina. We must go!"

The girl turns to the man and smiles at the face she had once called friend. "Jorge! OH MY GOD!"

"What do you mean?" Albert interrupted her

"This is endless. Please we must retreat to the dojo"

"We should listen to him Albert" Jill joins in and runs for the dojo

The rest follow. Albert felt bad about leaving the other students behind in the building across from them but his life was in danger as much as the others were. So he followed the girls he trusted and tried to not look back.

Fun stuff. NY will be up soon...i hope haha. Don't lose faith in me yet ^-^ Read, Review, and Reload your gun
