Ready or Not

The small group traveled through the city, trying hard not to make much noise since the littlest thing would set off the dead. The living was also something to watch over since they were unpredictable. Zion didn't like the odd silence the city had; it was never that quiet when he walked around in his usual routine. But he needed to figure out a plan at the moment and not worry about the silence.

Sarah wanted to speak up since the car was filled up with an awkward silence. She looked over to her friend and her dog and leaned in. "Is it just me or is it awkward in here?" She whispered.

"I agree…" Serenity oddly looked around at the others in the car. "This is gonna be a long day…"

"Yeah…" Sarah sighed soon after.

Ryou wasn't so lucky seeing as Fran and Lucas were arguing with each other none stop since they left. Of course he didn't get into it but he wished that he had better company with him.

It took them all awhile to get to the city hall building. And when they got there they found that it wasn't surrounded by the dead at all. This brought a sigh of relief from everyone. But they couldn't relax just yet since there were some outside.

Alis stepped out as soon as she parked and waited for the rest to join her in the front of their vehicle. Sarah, Jon, and Serenity got out of the car and soon followed. Geoffrey and Stephanie stayed in the car though; they seemed to be having a conversation from what Sarah could make out.

Zion and Ryou parked nearby, as well as the other survivors. The small amount of the dead soon turned their attentions to them. "Everyone…get to the doors and open them up so the ones that stay behind can run inside. Those with melee weapons get rid of the ones outside so not to grab attention to ourselves." The leader ordered. Lucas, Ryou, Jon and Zion took the lead and headed for the walking dead outside.

Alis, Sarah, Fran and Serenity took the doors. As the men moved in to kill the lifeless moving bodies, they lead whoever wanted to follow. Sarah quickly reached the door and opened them both up. What she found was something terrifying and horrific that it froze her completely.

Ryou unsheathed his blade with his thumb as he walked casually to his target. He took his blade in hand and cut off the things head in one swipe. "Stop showing off you loser!" Marissa shouted from afar and continued. "The others already killed more then you!" Of course he didn't really care.

Zion had stopped by his third kill. Noticing that his friends at the door were running away from the door except for one. Jon cut the scalps off a few of the dead when he noticed the others running back. "What the…" He turned his sight to see Sarah holding the door shut.

Lucas charged up to the door and noticed it was trying to force its way open. He pushed it back some and asked, "What's behind this dooor?"

"If I told you…you would probably just throw up." She answered quickly.

The rest of the men made their way to the doors and questioned why they were blocking the door. "Ummm…I think you guys are going to have to step back…its going to get crowded." Sarah eased up on the door. The others knew what was to come so they quickly backed up. Zion signaled for the shooters to take their marks and aim.

"Ready or not…here we go!" Sarah shouted. She let go of the door and made a mad dash towards the cars. A gigantic horde of the undead stumbled out and soon made their way towards the cars. Geoff, Fran, Stephanie and Serenity took up their guns and started firing into the mob. They were able to take out a few of them but the group was too large to stop.

"Everyone move back!" Zion commanded the others. Lifting up his gun part of his weapon and firing a few rounds before take his stance. The rest of the melee fighters took their stances and prepared them selves. Sarah and Alis took up their bows.

Each of them did what they could to cover each other and made sure that no one over run. The gunners kept their partners safe but also made sure that the dead didn't get pass the cars to the defenseless. It was up to all of them to get rid of any danger to their lives.

Ryou dashed forward through the mob and cut through most of them with ease as he swung his blade in front of him. Alis and Sarah focused through the gunfire and placed their shots into the heads of the closer targets. Zion changed from firing to cutting as he moved forward; it was best if he made good use of his weapon that way. Jon took his axes and used his strength to impale them into the skulls of the walkers in front of him. Lucas easily backed him by using his knives, he would be shooting but Fran was using his pistol. The gunners used the ammo they had gotten from Zion's house, Marissa hand them their respective clips.

After a few minutes, the mob died down and the gunners lowered their weapons a bit to conserve ammo.

"Well that was-" Geoff was cut off by the sight of another wave coming trough the halls of the building."

"How many people were in there?" Serenity sighed soon after and lifted her gun, everyone else did the same.
