Hey guys and girls.
Welcome back to a brand new chapter of Dead Men Walk Again.
The last place we left our Hero, he had successfuly gained a new power being the Whipfist. As well, note mention Hokuto who has somehow the ability to make her body into that of a Necromorph. However she won't have the full transformation. Only the blades that come out the back and the claws will show. As well her overall performance is heightened to new heights.
But with Naruto and Hokuto being able to hear the Glyphs they will be in one hell of a pickle. Now that they have a lead on what these Glyphs mean.
Let's see what they get up to.
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.
Chapter 7: Compromised.
Walking into the house while throwing the flash drive into the air Naruto smiled while Hokuto tailed the virus.
Naruto had a very smug, cocky smile adorned on his face as he made his way to where the computor was and from there he handed the flash drive to Meiya who then handed it to Saya.
Plugging it in, they opened up the file it was saved to and what they saw was a set of Glyphs moving across the screen. But with them was what looked like an object that Naruto had seen in his dreams. The Marker.
But as they looked on at the Glyphs, both Naruto and Hokuto began to speak as if they were in a trance.
"Turn it off. Turn it off. Turn it off." they said as they stared at the moving Glyphs.
Saya and everyone gathered were scared beyond comprehension. Pulling the flash out, Naruto clutched his head while Hokuto dropped to the floor. Passed out cold.
"Okay new rule. No one put creepy stuff into the computor." said Takashi with Kohta nodding his head.
Naruto finally getting out of his little attack looked back up and found his head hurting beyond compare. It was like someone has put a very big book on Xenoligy into his mind. Looking at Hokuto he scooped her up and walked over to one of the bedrooms in the house.
"What the hell was that?" asked Toshimi walking up to the computor.
"I don't know. But there seems to be something about turning it off. But turn what off?" asked Saeko.
"That must be something to do with the steps." said Meiya as she picked up a set of notes next to the computor.
"What steps?" asked Shizuka.
I don't know. But according to the notes on these pieces of paper, there are steps to how to stop this. And with the data we have from Gentek we can get this done." said Meiya insightfully.
"Incase you didn't notice. Naruto-kun was going crazy. And so was that Hokuto. That thing must be playing with their heads." stated Kyoko.
"Oh I think he'll be okay. We must learn what we need to do to get rid of this infestation.'' said Meiya.
''Not up for discu-''
''Meiya-nii may be on to something. Should we wonder around in the dark trying to find a better way out of this shit. We'll be sitting here for a very long time. If that happens, we may as well die. The sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can all save those who are still human.'' said Saeko with Kyoko huffing at how she didn't approve of this and Meiya hugging her sister.
At that moment, Naruto walked into the room and saw that everyone was looking at him. Donning a confused expresion he walked over to them. That was when Kyoko grabbed him and pushed his head into her chest.
''I refuse for you to do anything to my Naruto-kun. I just refuse. He's been doing everything to save us and keep us alive. The last thing I want is to see him getting hurt.'' snarled Kyoko, but Naruto pushed her away from him.
''I'll do it. I agree completely with Meiya-chan. If we want any hope of surviving this, we need to understand what that thing really is.'' said Naruto as he walked over to the computor.
''But Naruto-kun.'' whined Kyoko.
''Relax. I'll be fine.'' said Naruto.
Hitting the open button on the computor for the folder, Naruto watched on as the Glyphs flew about on the screen. And instantly, his mind was taken over by the Glyphs.
''Turn it off. Turn it off. Turn it off.'' he repeated over and over again.
''See? We're getting no where. Turn it off.'' said Kyoko.
Fearing that she may be right, Saya's hand reached for the off switch to the computor only to stop when she heard what came out of Naruto's mouth.
''Follow the steps. Follow these steps. Step 1: Crawl into the Dark Machine. Step 2: The scr-''
Naruto didn't finish as his mind temporaryily collasped on itself and Naruto dropped to the floor after coughing up a large amount of blood. Jumping out of the chair, Saya caught the falling teen and held him in his arms. His face racked and riddled in pain as his breathing became sharp.
''See? This is what I was talking about.'' snapped Kyoko as she walked over to the unconscience teen and picked him up. Taking him to a room to sleep.
Naruto's dream.
''Look tou-san. Look what I drew.'' shouted a little version of Naruto when his parents were still alive.
Walking over to Naruto was his father. Minato. He dropped down to Naruto's level and rubbed his fingers along his hair. What Naruto had drawn was not what any other little 6 year old kid would draw.
On the piece of paper was a strange object with two spires shooting up at the top and what looked to be strange Glyphs all over the paper. At the time, Kushina didn't know about this. And of course, being his age, Naruto didn't know what this meant either.
Dream end.
Slowly opening his eyes, he looked around and found Kyoko sitting there, holding her head as she shook her head for what they did to him.
''Why did Meiya and Saeko agree to you doing that? Why did you agree?'' she said as Naruto saw a tear roll down her cheek.
Climbing out the bed, Naruto walked over to her and tapped her shoulder. Stopping her musings, Kyoko looked up and found herself tackling Naruto to the ground while rubbing her face against her chest.
''I'll always be fine.'' he said as he stroked her head.
Bringing her face up to his she meshed her lips with his. This time it held more passion. More desire. Opening his mouth, Naruto felt her tongue enter his mouth and soon enouge a battle of tongue ensued as Naruto's hands and hers traveled all over each other's body.
Unfortunately, their exploration of each other was cut short as a knock on the door was heard.
''Naruto-kun. Can I talk to you?'' came the voice on the other side.
It was Saeko. And from the sounds of her voice, she sounded to be riddled with guilt. Looking into Kyoko's eyes, he smiled to her and kissed her again.
''I'll see you soon.'' said Naruto as Kyoko smiled lovingly to him and climbed off him, allowing him to go to the door.
Opening it up, Naruto found both Saeko and Meiya standing there. Both with tears running down their cheeks as they looked down.
''Alright ladies. What did I do wrong this time?'' asked Naruto.
''Nothing. It is us who did something wrong. We pressed you to look into those Glyphs and we got you injured. We're sorry.'' they both said as tears streamed down their cheeks.
''Look. If it makes you feel any better,what you girls did has opened up something that was surpressed. I knew I saw these symbols somewhere before. But I never knew where. I think I used to draw them when tou-san worked at Gentek.'' said Naruto.
''So you feel that you may know how to stop this?'' asked Meiya looking up.
''Yes. But we have to do it in intervals. I fear we may cause serious problems if we're not careful.'' said Naruto.
Just as they were about to continue, everyone in the house, including Hokuto who had finally woken up, heard an ear piercing scream coming from outside. Running to the front door they heard the sounds of gunshots echoing across the front lawn.
Pusing the door open they came to the sight of both Takashi and Kohta emptying clip after clip on a very large swarm that made their way to them. There was no end to the infected that crawled to them. But just as Naruto brought up his Claws, a very uneasy hum and rumble was heard as the sky darkned. Directly on the horizon where the Gentek building stood the very object that was what Naruto and Hokuto knew about. The Marker.
''What the fuck is that?'' asked Kohta as he reloaded the sniper rifle he had.
''The Marker. It has truly begun.'' said Hokuto as the blades appeared on her back with her claws showing.
But it didn't end there. All along Naruto's skin, the Glyphs appeared and he also felt his overall power increase to new heights. Just what could this be?
Helping the others to get into the Humvie, Naruto and Hokuto kept guard while the others got everything into the Humvie. It didn't take long and pretty soon, they were jetting off to find a new home. Naruto was having alot of fun mowing down enemies in his way while Hokuto used everything she had to provide backup for Naruto.
But just as they came to a stop, they found themselves at the one place that Naruto was dreading. The very home of Saya. Oh how the don was going to kill him. But there was no other place for them. Climbing out the car, Saya ran to the gate and banged on it. But with her banging on the gate, the noise alerted the zombies in the area.
Hearing a high pitched cry, they turned around and found at least 3 large hordes of Necromorph and zombie alike. Naruto got his Claws out and charged to the approaching runners. Him and Hokuto did everything they could to prevent the horde from getting to the house but just as Naruto went for the last kill, a gun shot was heard and he dropped to the floor clutching his right arm.
At that moment, a Brawler came into the clearing and charged Naruto who had his arms reverted back to their original state. Getting up he shifted his arms to his Claws only to have them turn back to normal. Hokuto saw this and charged thr Brawler, kicking it square in the face and launching the bastard away a couple feet.
Helping Naruto back to his feet she slung his arm around her and walked him to the gate only to have the Don. Saya's father hold out a gun.
''Take one step monster and I'll kill you.'' he said as he pulled the hammer back.
''Please tou-san. They're our friends.'' begged Saya to her father.
''They sought to harm you. I can't have them in here. Especially one which dumped you for a whore.'' said the Don as he pointed the gun at Naruto.
''But what did you do to him?'' asked Hokuto as she adjusted her grip on him.
The Don just smiled and pulled out the magazine. In the magazine was blue glowing bullets that no one had ever seen before.
''These bullets are call T-Virus Bullets. They are able to stop monsters like you in their tracks. But they are very expensive to make and take a very long time to be prepared. Very deadly to those like him. It's like a poison.'' said the Don as he shoved the magazine back into the gun.
''So you were the one who shot Naruto-kun.'' said Saeko.
The Don did nothing but nod his head having Saya and everyone gasp at what he had done.
''That boy can burn in hell for all I care. He has caused nothing but pain and suffering. Turning humans into him. Sick.'' he said as he squeezed the trigger. Sending another bullet into Naruto. This time close to his heart. Naruto just coughed up blood as Hokuto dropped Naruto to the floor to try and stop the bleeding.
''Leave here. We don't need any trouble from you.'' said the Don.
Hokuto did nothing but become so scared that she grabbed Naruto as took him away. Hopefully someone was around that could help prevent this from going further across his body.
With Naruto and Hokuto now out of sight, the Don turned to his daughter and smiled lovingly.
''I'm so glad you're safe.'' he said only to have Saya back away in disgust.
''Naruto-kun protected me. He protected each and everyone of us. He would never turn us into him. He doesn't know how to.'' barked Saya with Meiya trying to calm her down.
''Piss off Meiya.'' snapped Saya.
''He is and always will be one of those things. He has no place here.'' shouted the Don.
Saya didn't want to hear anymore of this and ran into her house. She didn't even want to look at her father. Seeing her mother there she sped past her and slammed her door. Locking it and just crying out for having Naruto driven out like that. And not to mention, now slowly dying thanks to the thing her father did to him.
Will he survive and return to her? Or will he die from the poison now coursing through his veins?
And scene.
So Naruto is now dying thanks to two bullets in his body. These bullets stopped him from ever using his powers such as Claws, Whipfist, or Hammerfist at all. At least he still has his superhuman strength and speed. But will that also go? As well, Rika will make her appearance in the next chapter.
Thank you all for reading.
