Guess who's back. Back again. Yes I am back, tell a friend!

Anyways, Sorry for being gone for so so so so long!

Life is so hectic and well, I have not had much inspiration.

And Dusty decided to leave me behind as she made her way in the real world. Seriously don't grow up, It's scary out here in the real world. You can't go crying to your Mama!

Anyways, I probably will write more, if I am not completely distracted by other things.

No certain promise. (Seriously I have a lot of things in real life that take up much time. But I am sure I'll get in lots of writing too!)

This chapter is two character. Don't really have a fun way to name the chapter. I'll change the name eventually.

Chapter 9: Robard and Magnus

-4 Years in the Future-

Diana smiled as she made her way to the small shed near the very edge of the fenced off area. As she slowly open the door, the smell of gasoline and grease made her feel a bit dizzy. In the shed, Robard stood bent over the engine of a car. To the left stood Magnus as he was trying to set of a solar power panel on the top of the car. Diana headed towards the two of them, staying right next to the wall.

"Rob, Mack, hows it going?" She asked trying to watch what Robard was doing over his shoulder.

"It's almost done. Should work perfectly fine. I had to change a lot of the parts. I hope this solar powered car will work better than the regular car."

"Hopefully it will. I can't wait to try out the car." Diana said with a slight jump. She felt a light tap on her shoulder and turned to look at Magnus, who shook his head.

"I don't think you should be going out there in your condition, Diana." Robard said as he stared sternly at Diana.

Diana frowned slightly and then looked down at her stomach. The blue shirt she was wearing was tight to her skin, letting them see her pregnant belly.

"Psh, You know I will go. No matter my condition." Diana said as she looked over at the car that was to change the way they would get through the zombie infested areas.

Robard kept staring at her in a disapproving manner. Diana sighed and finally caved in after a few minutes.

"Fine! I won't go! But you have to add a camera then. I want to have 24/7 access to everything. And don't tell me it can not be done."

Robard and Magnus looked at each other before staring at her for a minute. Magnus nodded his head and replied with a quiet voice. "Done"

Diana jumped and hugged Robard quickly before smiling wildly at Magnus. She turned to head out. As the door was about to be shut, Diana turned back and called out "Oh and it's time for Lunch"

-Present Day (Morning of Day 1)-

On one side of the town lived a man with chocolate brown color hair. He had just turned over the bed and was met with an empty space where his wife usually laid.

On the other side of the town lived a man with blonde hair. He had been woken up by the sound of an alarm across the room.

Both of these men had only one thing in common; they worked together in the same mechanical shop. But up until that fateful day , neither expected to team up with each other.

Robard rubbed his eyes and turned toward the small clock hanging from the wall. It read 8:00 am. He sighed softly and sat up. Slipping his feet into his slippers, he marched his way toward the bathroom that his family all shared. As he entered the hallway, he could hear the sound of his son talking loudly to his wife. He smiled brightly and entered the bathroom to start his daily routine.

Magnus rolled over in his bed and stared groggily at the alarm clock. He sat up and rubbed his eyes before standing up and making his way to the adjacent bathroom. With a quick turn of the sink knob, the water ran out and he took a bit of water in his hands. With a splash of the cold water to his face, he felt a bit more energized. He ran his hand through his blonde hair. He quickly shut off the water and went back to the room to change into his work clothes.

Robard walked out of the bathroom and was run into by a six year old.

"Daddy" The little boy said as he grabbed onto the leg of his father. Behind him, a beautiful red head made her way towards them. She grabbed onto the little boy and as gently as possible picked up the child.

"Sorry honey." She said before kissing him. They pulled away from each other and she smiled at him. He smiled and kissed the top of the head of his son. She looked back at the child and then at a watch.

"Oh my, I must take Owen to his daycare." She quickly rushed down the hall before running back and kissing him on the cheek. Robard saw as his wife quickly grabbed her purse and walked out of the house holding the child.

Rob made his way to the bedroom and quickly changed into his blue-gay mechanics jumpsuit. He grabbed his black boots and slipped them on before tying them up. He gets up and grabs a black cap from the dresser. He made his way to the front door and walked out. As he turned to close it, he glanced by and looked around. His glance landed on a family picture hanging on the wall. With a smile, he closed the door and locked it. He turned quickly and walked towards his car and got in. He started the car and drove off into the direction of the shop.

Magnus walked out of his bed room with a black polo shirt and blue jeans. He glanced around the small kitchenette. He spotted his black boot sitting near the door leading out. He quickly laced them up. He made his way to the fridge and opened the door. He grabbed a frozen meal and quickly popped it into the microwave. As he waited, his cell phone rang. He quickly looked out the id number and smiled.

"Hey Alex." He said after answering the phone. The microwave started to finish the count down. The conversation on the phone was mostly one sided. Magnus listened as his brother went on about how he had gotten a place as a international hockey player. As he talked, the microwave made the beeps that signaled that it was done. Magnus quickly pulled out the meal and started to eat a bit as he listened to his brother. His brother turned the conversation on him and asked him about his life. As Magnus tried to speak around his full mouth, an alarm went off signaling that it was time to head out to work. Magnus quickly swallowed his food and told his brother that he had to go before hanging up. He ran out the door soon after and stopped when he realized he hadn't locked it. He turned back and quickly locked the door before running away to catch the public bus.

Both arrived around the same time and entered the building. One headed towards a car on lifts with another mechanic standing nearby. The other headed towards the main office to time in.

Robard looked at an engine of a car as his fellow mechanic started to change the oil of the car on the lifts. Magnus, on the other hand, was changing the wheels of a car on the other side of the shop. With all the noise going on, they three workers did not hear the screams of terrors coming in from the outside. Many figures made their way toward the noisy shop. The mechanic who was changing the oil of a car noticed the group heading towards them and stopped working. He turned toward Robard and called out;

"Hey Rob, I'll be right back. Take a break there." He then turned toward Magnus and screamed out to him; "Mack, Break time."

They both looked up and stopped what they were doing. Magnus moved towards a chair at the far back of the shop and sat down. He had a clear view of the crowd that was making its way towards the shop. Rob sat down closer to the door and stared at the crowd. The mechanic took off towards the crowd to talked to them. With the shop silent from any sound, both Magnus and Rob hear the scream of their fellow worker.

Rob rushed out of the shop holding a wrench. He saw his fellow worker laying on the ground being eaten. He gasped and was quickly thrown to the ground by a figure. He quickly kicked away his attacker and hit the figure in the head with the wrench in his hand.

Inside the shop, Magnus was holding off the many figures that had made their way in. He hit as many as possible with the wrench in his hand. When one fell, another would take its place. He started to hit and run toward the entrance. As he moved closer they saw Rob hitting away.

He quickly made his way closer to his co-worker.

Rob noticed that Magnus was making his way close to him. He kept hitting away at the figures around him and looked for a way to get to his car. He stopped for a minute and pointed to the car while looking at Magnus.

Magnus noticed the pointing and started to make his way over to the car. He hit anything that came close to him and when he got to the car, he turned around keeping his back on the car.

Rob hit away at anything near him and started to make his way to the car. Many of the figures walked by him, toward the shop. The ones close enough to him were hit to the side. He made it to the car and quickly unlocked the doors. Both quickly jumped into the car and Rob quickly stepped on the pedal, sending the car forward into some of the figures. He backed out and raced away from the shop.

Magnus in the back seat, tried to get his phone to call his brother, but it would not go through.

He looked to the front of the car and finally spoke, " Where do we go now?"

This was hard to write. I started out with just Robard, but I couldn't seem to get past the future part. (By the Way, Thank you Ryou Ryuu for the awesome character. Please tell me if it is okay. or if you would like to see something more) Then I was looking through the character list and realized hey I have another mechanic. Make those two work in the same place. and that got all my rusty wheels in my brain turning. (Thank you M-anonymous for Magnus. If you would like anything changed, please let me know!)

Anyways, these two worked wonders together and I felt that it was better if there was at least one team together from the beginning. If you guys see any mistakes let me know. Typos like to sneak past me.
