AN: David is locked in a battle with the leader of the Seven Deadly Warriors, Zetsumei. In an attempt to get under his skin and cause him to lose his concentration. Meanwhile, Michael, Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, and William fight their way through a faceless hoard to try and reach their friend and help him in anyway they can. Back on Earth, Alex and Lynn are running through an infected New York City population to try and survive until Zetsumei is taken down. What will happen as this mission continues?
Chapter Twelve: A Wicked Omen
Koenma had just received the news. Not only was Alex Russo being hunted in New York City by Zetsumei's hoard of mindless cronies, but to make matters worse, David's little sister, Lynn, was being hunted as well, for trying to help Alex stay alive. Koenma knew that he was really in for it if both Alex and Lynn were killed during this adventure. That would mean the end of Koenma, that is for sure.
"So Koenma, what's happening back on Earth now?" Miley asked him.
"Well, your hometowns are back to normal, but you have to stay here until everything is all clear." Koenma said. "Which it won't be for a while, because all hell is breaking loose in New York City."
"What's going on out there?" Lilly asked.
"Well, not only is Alex being hunted down, but his little sister is as well." Koenma said.
"What does that mean?" Miley asked.
"Well, it means that Zetsumei means business, and that I am going to really get it if something happens to either one of them." Koenma said, driving home his point with a really long shudder of fear.
"What are they going to do now?" Miley asked, fear evident for her friends.
"That, my darling, I have no idea about." Koenma said as the scene on the screen in front of the peanut gallery began to unfold even more, and it was downright frightening to say the least.
Alex and Lynn found themselves taking a breather in the alley a block from the school. They managed to give the goons that were chasing them the slip for now, but they are going to be on them soon enough. Where were they going to go is the main question.
"Lynn, what are we going to do, and where are we going?" Alex asked her friend.
Lynn looked around for a moment, getting familiar with her surroundings, and it was that moment that Lynn knew where they were.
"We are close to school. We can hide there until this is over." Lynn said catching her breath.
"Why are we going there?" Alex asked her.
"It is big enough that we can hide out in the school for a long while, even if they get in." Lynn said.
"Well, it's the only plan that we have right now. We might as well go along with it." Alex sighed, leaning up against the brick wall.
"Come on then, let's go." Lynn said. She looked around briefly, and took a step out into the open, and no sooner than when she did that, she was grabbed by a moaning zombie.
"Lynn!" Alex screamed. She was about to run out there and help her friend, but Alex saw Lynn slip out of her blue jean jacket, and stick a knife in the leg of the guy that attacked her.
"What are you waiting for! Let's go!" Lynn yelled at Alex. The two began to sprint towards their school just as the hoard found them again and resumed their chase of the two young girls.
Lynn and Alex reached the school in which they attended, and managed to slip in through an open window. It was really weird once they were inside, though. School was a different place once it was empty. They couldn't enjoy themselves because they were being hunted by remorseless controlled humans hell bent on killing them, but in the small and few moments of brief peace, it was nice totry and relax before moving on.
"So, now what do we do?" Alex asked Lynn. She leaned against the lockers, and thought about it for a minute. She looked and saw that Larritate's office was open.
"What the hell?" Lynn said, shrugging her bare shoulders. Alex had a puzzled look on her face as she followed her friend inside. She went to where Larritate kept the records, and picked the lock on it.
"Where did you learn to pick locks?" Alex asked her.
"On my own. When you are bored at home alone, and the bathroom door is locked from the inside, you do what you have to do." Lynn said with a smile. "Sweet, permanent records."
"Where's mine?" Alex asked eagerly. Lynn sighed and handed her the paper folder to her friend. She took it, and read what was inside of it.
"Alex, who is Dean and Mason?" Lynn asked out of the blue. Alex nearly dropped the folder that she was holding.
"Uh, why do you ask?" Alex said, nearly choking on her words.
"Justin mentioned both of them to me, and told me to talk to you about it, who are they?" Lynn asked again.
"Well-"
CRASH.
Lynn dropped what she was holding, and looked out of the office, and saw that they managed to break down the door, and were inside.
"Shit! Let's move!" Lynn said, grabbing her friend's arm, and dragging her out of the office. As they ran through the school, it seemed that they were coming from everywhere. It didn't take more than a minute before they were almost surrounded.
Giving up on the door that she was trying to unlock, Lynn grabbed Alex, and ran upstairs, moans and groans following the teens as they did so.
The fight between Zetsumei and David turned towards Zetsumei's favor. David was too preoccupied watching the big screen and his little sister along with his girlfriend running through the school that the two attended.
"What's the matter? You don't like the show that is on? Well, take a seat." Zetsumei said, kicking David across the room. The spine rattling impact was what David felt when he slammed against the wall.
"So, feel any better?" Zetsumei asked. David climbed to his feet, and looked at his enemy.
"You are going to be nothing but a skid mark on this concrete when I get done with you." David said confidently.
"Really? How in the world are you going to do that?" Zetsumei said laughing.
"You'll see." David said, just standing there glaring at him.
Alex and Lynn were running through the upstairs area of their school. No matter where they went in the school there were those mind controlled infected humans that were chasing them. What scared her the most was that there were little, if any places left to hide in this school, and she knew that her brother was not close to defeating Zetsumei. They stopped for a moment, and tried to think about what to do. Running around directionless was not only going to get them cornered, but killed.
"What now?" Alex asked Lynn.
"Well, now I am regretting coming into the school." Lynn answered.
"I meant what do we do now?" Alex asked her again.
"Pray. Pray that David and the crew killed Zetsumei." Lynn stated.
As the two of them sat there, they wondered how David was fairing in the other world, and prayed with all of their might that he was going to succeed in his task.
The Endgame has begun...
AN: Michael: Things are really getting serious now. Alex and Lynn are cornered in their school. We make it to the area outside of Zetsumei's Room, and David continues to fight with Zetsumei. Oh, and before I forget, someone might die next chapter...
