Yay, an update. I look forward to explaining this to you people. Also we get some sadness. Anyway The Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the city in which this is set in.
Chapter 3: The First Bite
"There's nobody here," Green said.
"We've checked one room, Green," Blue said.
"Hey guys, why don't you stop bickering and look harder," Red told them.
"Alright then we'll split up, Green with me," Blue replied as she grabbed Green's hand and ran off again.
"That leaves me and you, Yellow," Red told her.
"Well then let's start looking," Yellow responded.
*ON THE THIRD LEVEL*
"Ruby, hurry up," Sapphire said to him.
"No, I need to look at everything or we'll miss something," Ruby told her.
"We'll never find anything like this," Sapphire said.
"We need to look properly though," Ruby said.
"Look faster," Sapphire said.
"Guy's shut up," Emerald said.
"We need to look," Sapphire said.
"Everywhere," Ruby said.
"You're not going to find the answer in a file cabinet," Sapphire replied.
*ON THE FOURTH LEVEL*
"Dia, Pearl, search for me," Platina ordered them
"Yes," the duo replied. The three continued to work in their silence, until Dia had something to ask.
"Do you think it's possible to have a quick snack break?" Dia asked.
"I suppose so," Platina said, taking a packet of cookies out of her bag.
"YAY," Dia screamed.
*ON THE SECOND LEVEL*
"Guys, can you please help me look?" Crystal asked Gold and Silver.
"Lighten up super serious gal," Gold told her. "Anything important will be lying out in the open.
"You mean a little bit like this?" Silver asked. The others looked where he was pointing. It was a nurse. Accept she was dead. She had her ribs smashed in and a hole in her stomach. Crystal nearly threw up looking at it.
"What could have done this," Crystal said.
"No idea," Gold said.
"Let's see if we can find any other clues," Silver said as the continued to look in the same room.
"Gold, this is serious, stop making those stupid moaning sounds," Crystal told him.
"But I'm not making any noises," Gold said.
"Yes you are," Crystal replied, looking at him. When his mouth didn't move she looked at Silver. He wasn't making any moaning sounds either. Gold looked back at the nurse and she was gone.
"Hey where'd the nurse go," Gold asked the others
"I didn't touch-AAAAH!" Silver screamed as something latched onto his leg, and bit his thigh. It ripped the flesh right off the bone.
"It's the nurse," Crystal said. Gold ran up to it and kicked it in the head. The head flew off the neck and crashed into the wall with a splat.
"Silver are you okay," asked Crystal, worry written all over her voice. She ran over to him and saw the bone.
"I've got some bandages," Gold said bringing back a load of bandages.
"Give them here," Crystal said. The other dex holders had all found them and asked what happened. Gold told them what happened.
"How could the nurse get up if she was dead?" Platina asked.
"I have no idea," Crystal answered her.
"You know who may have an idea," Green said.
"Cobalt, Iron and Amber," Red answered.
"Yeah, let's go find and interrogate them," Green answered.
"What about Silver," Crystal said. "I don't think he'll be okay walking around the town with us."
"Leave him here we'll come back for him," Ruby suggested.
"Alright, let's go quickly," Blue said.
*BACK OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL*
"I still think we should have told them," Amber said.
"They'll find out eventually," Cobalt told her.
"Right now we have a job to do," Iron said.
"Alright where do we have to go now?" Cobalt asked.
"Well, we have two destinations, the first is the power plant, the second is"- Amber said before being cut off by someone.
"What is happening in this city," Sapphire screamed at him.
"Why should we tell you," Iron responded
"Because we outnumber you 4 to 1," Gold told him.
"Yes, well if you can come up with a good enough reason for us to tell you, we will tell you," Cobalt told the dex holders.
"Our friend was bitten by a dead nurse," Crystal said
"Did you say bitten," Amber asked.
"YES," Blue screamed. Cobalt, iron and Amber all looked at each other as if they were planning something suspicious.
"Alright," Iron said.
"This city has been infected with a virus. It turns them into undead. These first undead eat other living beings and they are usually killed. When they bite someone else, the virus passes to the other one, turning them into the undead then they come back to life. This has gone to infect all the inhabitants of this city. The zombies lose all their intelligence and have only their most basic instinct. The need to feed," Cobalt explained.
"Is there a cure for this virus," Platina asked.
"Yes," Iron answered.
"Woo hoo," the dex holders all screamed.
"The virus consumes the body within 2 hours at most depending on the DNA of the person," Amber told them.
"The first stage is weakness; the second stage is their skin starts to turn purple; the third stage is they start to feel woozy and start to act like a zombie; the last stage is losing all intelligence," Iron told them.
"The vaccine is guaranteed to work in the first stage. It is 50, 50 in the second stage. It is next to impossible to work in the third stage, about 5% chance. The fourth stage is the point of no return," Cobalt told them.
"Are there any vaccines in the city?" Red asked.
"At the police station," Amber said.
"It is just down this street," Iron told them. "When you get to that fountain, turn left and the third building is it."
"Come on guys," Gold yelled and he ran off down the street.
"A thank you would have been nice," Cobalt said.
"Thank you," Pearl yelled back at them.
"Alright down to business," Cobalt said, leading the others into the hospital.
"I actually kind of hope they will get out," Amber said.
"We will get them out as soon as we finish what we were sent here for," Iron told her.
*At the fountain*
"Gold get out of the fountain," Crystal said.
"Sapphire, pushed me," Gold replied.
"Guys can we please get back to business," Green said to keep them quiet. They all turned right and walked down the road.
"Why can't we find it," Yellow asked.
"Wait we did go left didn't we," Dia asked.
"No," Blue answered him.
"It was left of the fountain you no sense of direction people," Emerald yelled at them all.
"Arooooooo," a howl came from somewhere next to them.
"I don't like the sound of that, let's get out of here," Red said turning around and running back towards the fountain.
