Dare To Challenge Me

The gunshot fired could be heard through the open doorway near Sarah and her friends. Ryou turned to face the door; the blue haired girl did the same thing.

"That idiot." Left the mouth of the white haired swordsman.

xXx

Zion watched as the man pointed the gun to him. In a second, the gun was shot out of his hands and into a near by store. The teen didn't hesitate and ran into the store with the gun. To his amazement the girl had punched the man into the room and started kicking him while he was down on the floor. "Damn it Lucas! Shit! He saved my life and here you go almost killing him! –Sigh- I swear…I don't know what I will do with you." She moved her head to face the other man in the room.

"I take it that you know him." Zion stood on his feet and found the gun. He walked over to her and handed the gun over. "Do you know the man that shot at him?"

The girl shakes her head and sits next to the man as he tried to recuperate from the kicks. "Yes and yes. This is my boyfriend Lucas and I apologize for his stupidity…he has a bit of an anger problem. But once you get to know him he's actually a nice guy. And the person who shot at him…well…us…was an army man." She began to rub Lucas on his back to help him out.

Zion raises an eyebrow "Army men?"

"Yes…they have been after us since we drove up from Miami. They seem to want me for…well…a sex object. I don't know this for sure…but a man and woman that traveled with us told everyone that the army was taking people as prisoners." She got up from the floor and checked her gun.

"From the sound…it was a sniper shot. So whoever this is isn't that great of a shot. I say you and me can take him out if we work together." Zion walked over to the door and slowly moved a hat he found through the door. Another shot was fired but it barely hit the hat. He brought it back in to show the girl, "See."

"Fuck that…there is no way I'm letting her go out there." The young man got up from the floor and looked at Zion. The leader of the group outside took this time to get a feel for the man.

"Not up to you…now is it…" He got a better view of the man, as he stood straight up. He stood at the height of 6'2 and probably weighed around 200lbs of pure muscle alone. He made out the panther tattoo on his right hand as well as the flat Mohawk that was his hair. Lucas wore tan cargo shorts with a loose red sleeveless shirt. The man seemed upset about what Zion had said.

"She's no-" Lucas was cut off by his better half.

"Lets get this over with." She took her place next to Zion and readied herself to run.

xXx

Sarah and Alis both flinched at the sound of the second shot. Ryou noticed and thought that he would need to act since the leader was absent.

"Sounds like a sniper rifle…" Geoffrey tried to figure out what it was but couldn't tell from his position.

Jon, Marissa, and Serenity readied themselves as the last wave of the dead made their way to them. Ryou took notice and sighed. He stepped towards the gun users and placed his hands on them so they could lower it. Jon, Alis, and Sarah followed him into the fray since they were they melee fighters.

"Well aren't you cute." Geoffrey flinched at the blue hair girls' action. She was right behind him with her arms around him.

"Uh miss…what are you doing?" Was all he could ask at the moment. Stephanie and Serenity both took notice at what was going on. Serenity didn't care as much as Stephanie did, but she did find the rifleman pretty cute.

"Let go of him! He's mine!" Stephanie growled at the girl. Marissa just smiled devilishly at the girl.

"Oh really? I don't think he knows that." She pressed tighter on him and moved her body up and down his back. Geoffrey looked over to Serenity for help but she laughed and watched the melee fighters eliminate the last of the dead.

xXx

"Fran please…" Lucas words fell on deaf ears as the girl ran out and took shots at where the sniper could be. The sniper took a couple of shots at the girl but missed, she had taken shelter again. Zion took this chance to move ahead and take cover into the store near him. Fran found that the sniper was hidden in the second floor near the back entrance. "Just like a guy to try and get a girl from behind." The girl ran ahead and fired a few more shots at her target.

Zion knew that the sniper would fire a shot so he rolled out of his cover and dashed for the shoe store. The sniper took his shot at the girl and spotted the young man making a run for it, so he fired at him. The bullet had managed to scratch the teens' shoulder. "I knew you were a bad shot." Zion said in pain. He brushed it off and spotted the steps that lead to the second floor not to far from him. Fran witnessed him go into the store in front of her so she ran to the opposite side to confuse the sniper. She jumped into cover and looked at the guy climbing the steps, he was hurt by the sniper. He seemed to be putting pressure on the wound from what she could make out. But there was no time to worry about that, she reloaded her gun and once again she ran forward taking shots.

xXx

After a few minutes the last of the dead were taken out. The heroes were covered in blood and guts, some of them sat down to take a breather. The rest of the survivors walked over to them, even the ones hiding in the parking lot. Sarah looked around to find that her friends had gathered around her, as did the people she saved.

"Excuse me." A man walked over to Jon. "Excuse me sir but are you the leader of this rescue team."

Jon just laughed at the idea of being a leader. "Fuck no…our 'Leader' is inside right now trying to save anyone left in the mall. But from the sounds of it…he might be getting his ass shot off." Both Alis and Sarah smacked the man in the head.

"Do you mean that young man who saved Marissa?" A woman questioned them from the back.

"Yes." Alis stood up and looked at all the survivors; they were all in bad shape.

The man grew angry at the idea of a teenager being the leader. "You got to be fucking kidding me? That kid is the leader of this team…and you allow that?" He looked at both of the adults in the group. They both nodded at the question.

"We wouldn't follow him if we didn't trust him." Alis added as she walked over to the woman and looked her over. "You all seem to be injured. Please line up so I can look over each and every one of you." The group lined up to have what they hoped was a doctor, to look after them.

The man got in line with his wife and kids. Still upset about the fact that a kid would be his savior.

xXx

Zion looked around to find where the snipers exact location was. He spotted the man set up behind one of the pillars. It was all on his new teammate to get the guys' attention so he could take him out. The sniper fired two more shots; Zion heard the sound of a click and something small hitting the ground. "He's reloading!"

Fran and Zion took the advantage and dashed for the man. The sniper took notice and pulled out a pistol to shoot them with. The girl on the 1st floor shot at him so he wouldn't pull the trigger. It worked since he took cover behind the pillar; the girl needed to reload so he popped out and took his shots.

"You little fuckers aren't going to get me!" The army man shouted at the two.

The man aimed at the girl below him and fired two more rounds. The girl couldn't move, she watched as the two bullets flew at her in slow motion. But something moved her just in time to only have pieces of her hair being cut off. She landed on her side. A little shook up, she looked around to find that Lucas had tackled her to the floor.

Zion had made it to the man and placed his blade on the soldiers' neck. The blade was so close that it drew blood as Zion guided him to the nearby wall. "You were the one that saved me…so I'll give you a chance to stay alive." The soldier had dropped his gun so he held his hands up in defeat.

"You might as well kill me. I wont tell you shit!" The army man laughed at the teen.

Zion gritted his teeth and pushed the blade further into his skin, "Don't test me."

Down below, Lucas got up and groaned in pain. His hand was in pain since the gun was shot out of his hand. But he had to fight through the pain to check on his girlfriend. He found her looking at him with shock and worry in her eyes; relief filled him since she didn't get hurt. She shot up to her feet and hugged him, showering the man with kisses.

"Thank you baby…you saved my…life." She said in between kisses.

Lucas smiled and kissed her in return. "I'll always save you babe. That's what I'm here for."

Back on top, Zion was still trying to get the man to talk. He had already cut the man around his arms and legs. "You're going to run out of blood soon…you might live if you start talking." His death isn't what Zion planned on but it was looking like that was going to be the outcome.

"Fuck you…" The soldier used his last resort and pulled out a hidden gun and shot. But the young man was quicker and slit his throat while dodging the shot fired at him.

"Damn it!" Dodging the bullet opened the wound on his shoulder more. He turned his head to find the man dead on the floor. There was no reason to stay there anymore, so he got up and walked down stairs. He saw the couple when walking out of the shoe store. He didn't want to disturb them so he quietly walked away so they could have their moment.

"Whoa there buddy!" Fran yelled to get his attention.

xXx

Sarah looked over to Serenity and smiled. "Hey there Serenity! I'm so glad that you are still alive."

Serenity sat next to her and returned the smile. "Yeah I'm glad you are still alive too. I saw you from across the street so I decided to come and help." Her dog sat right in front of her and barked once. She knew what he wanted. The girl dug into a small pocket she had on her bag and pulled out a doggy treat. The dogs' tail wagged when she brought it out but something caught the girls' eye. There was a sticker on it that said 'Call me, Dollface' on it. Her dog didn't wait and took the treat away from her slowly and chewed on it. Serenity realized that Geoff must've said it only cause the sticker said to.

"Something wrong?" Sarah asked with worry.

"No…no…so what are you doing here Sarah? I thought you'd be with your parents in the church." The girl asked her. It would seem like she would be with her family instead of hanging around the mall killing zombies.

Sarah didn't know how to answer that question. They were all suppose to go somewhere instead of the mall. Jon needed to go to his home, Geoff has to find his family, and she needed to get to her family as well. But someone called out to them here and Zion took the initiative. Would they blame him if something happened to their families? Would she? "I don't know…but we had to save these people. And we met you here so it was worth it." She happily smiled at the girl.

Serenity smiled back. "I think traveling with you should be fun. Do you mind?"

"Nope…and by the looks of it…we're taking them as well." Sarah wanted to point at Ryou and Marissa but they were gone.

xXx

Zion stopped walking to barely turn to face the couple. He didn't want to stop, but he didn't want to be rude to the girl. "Yes?…"

Lucas didn't like the fact that the guy wasn't trying to face them. Fran on the other hand didn't mind it, she just wanted to say something to him "Thanks for helping with that guy. But there are going to be others…and they won't stop with me. Those people out there are in danger as well. These guys aren't the regular military men we know…they're a bunch of psychos trying to act badass. Killing those they want and toying with others-" She was cut off.

"I get it…I'm going to deal with them. The one good thing my old man left me with is how to get rid of an army. So I think I'll put that to use." Zion began to walk away when two figures emerged from the shadows.

"I think you're going to need our help there good sir." Marissa jumped on the brown haired teen, knocking him to the floor.

Ryou walked in seconds later scanning the area. "We need to go."

xXx

Unknown to them all, there was a man watching the action play out in the security office. He pulls out a phone from his pocket and dials in a number, "Boss. Yes. Yes. Its just like the blonde girl said. He came and now the ones outside may take them somewhere. Yes. Yes. The boy is taking the bait as we speak. No…no she doesn't know that she is. Yes sir. He may be an issue…but we can easily get rid of him. Yes. And the test subjects from California? What about New York? I see. No. I don't think he would dare to challenge us. I'll continue to report as I track them. Yes. Goodbye sir."

The man hangs up and walks out the room.

Whose that guy? And what was he talking about? Who was he talking to? I guess we won't know until I write it haha. So please Read, Review, and Reload your guns :D. Oh and I have to be honest...this wasn't my best work as it was rushed in the last hour. So bash me with your hateful words haha
