Dragonslayer l3: Saeko was better! She was the girl Takashi deserved!
Just Saying: Kinda like Marvel Zombies and DCeased? Eh, a bit too problematic, because if it happened in the world of quirks, I don't think anyone would survive, especially if All-Might was infected.
Pdd13: I think will just be Jirou and Momo for now, but things might change as the story goes on.
Serengon4k: Thank you and here's chapter 2!
Shadow Joestar: Let's see if he's gonna have the willpower to face what is to come!
Guest: Thank you! I hope you like this chapter!
Mugetsu1996: Here's more!
Squaretree: Mina won't die, as far as I've planned, she won't, but I should let you know this is a No Quirk AU story, so no one has quirks!
jimmy oz: Here's more!
marsel jordan: Here's the next chapter!
.
Ok, so in case people were still a bit confused with the last chapter, the characters don't have quirks, so that means that people with mutant quirks, such as Mina and Toru, will not have their mutant traits.
This is why I described her as having bronze skin and not having her usual eyes. Also, she kinda fits the Gyaru if you think about it.
Again, no characters in this story, have Quirks!

Kyouka Jirou was a loner.
She didn't hang out much with anyone, making her one of the few loners within the student body, she simply sat alone during lunch and played her guitar, mostly alone in the music room. Today was no different, after eating her lunch, she went to the music room and played a few notes on her guitar, and even played a few songs. Soon, the bell rang and she packed up her guitar and went back to her homeroom where English would be taking place.
As usual, she was bored, sure she paid attention and understood the material, but that didn't make it any less boring, she looked out the window and saw some other class running on the field.
Jirou sighed and closed her eyes, 'God... I wished something would happen to make this freaking day less boring!' she thought.
Suddenly, bursting through the door were two of her fellow classmates, Izuku Midoriya and Mina Ashido, whom she did not notice were not in class.
She saw Mr. Aizawa turned to look at them with a glare, "First you two cut class, then you come barging in and making a scene, what-"
Izuku ran straight toward Mr. Aizawa and stopped right in front of him. "Sensei! The school is under attack!" Izuku cried out.
Hearing this, Jirou was confused, wondering what he meant, and it seemed their teacher was just as confused as she and the rest of the class.
"What?" He asked.
She then saw Mina step forward, "It's true!" Mina said with a scared tone. "Some man came through the front gates and began attacking the staff! We saw it all!"
"We need to get out of here!" Izuku cried.
Worry began to set in Jirou, wondering if these two were for real, Mina was known to pull a few jokes here and there, but Izuku, Izuku was one of those students who did very little to stand out, she knew this wasn't like him at all. She could hear the whispers and murmurs of worry as the class began to grow just as worried as she,
Ochako Uraraka, a girl Jirou knew who hung out with Izuku, looked at the boy. "Izuku, are you being for real?" Uraraka asked from her desk.
Izuku turned to her and nodded, "What would I be gaining from this if I lied!?" He asked.
Jirou finally could tell he was telling the truth, he was right, what would he be getting out of this sick oke? Suddenly, the rocker girl heard the school Intercoms come on and the principles voice was heard all over the school.
[Attention students and staff! We have an emergency! The School is under threat! Now I want everyone to keep calm!] The principal said. [Teachers please follow protocol and- wait! Stop! Don't come any closer! Don't come-AH! AAAAHHHH! AGGAHAH! G-G-Get off o-of me...! HELP! HELP ME! SOMEBODY HELP ME!]
The Intercom was then cut off and it seemed like the entire world was silent, Jirou hear her own heartbeat, and that's when she noticed how quiet everything around her was, but as quickly as the silence came, so too did the panic, as a sudden roar of yells and cries was heard all over the school, and every student jumped from their desk and ran outside.
She followed suit but as she did, she noticed that Izuku, Uraraka, Iida, and Mina stood next to the wall, she wondered why they were staying behind, and tried to stop, but the large wave of students kept pushing her downstairs, causing her to fall over and get trampled for a few good seconds before being pulled up and brought into a nearby classroom.
She regained her senses and composure and looked to see who had saved her from being squished. It was someone from her class and someone she knew well because they were on completely opposite sides of the social spectrum.
Momo Yaoyarozu, her fellow classmate of 1-A, who was also the smartest and most popular girl in the first years, had the highest passing grades in every class and was the most beautiful girl in school. Now, Jirou did not hate or dislike her, but they had never talked before and she wondered why Momo had saved her.
Momo looked at Jirou with a concerned expression, "Are you alright, Jirou?" She asked.
Jirou nodded, "Yeah," Jirou replied, "Thanks for the save, Yaoyarozu," Jirou finished.
"Don't mention it, I saw you were down and I couldn't just let everyone run over you like that," She said.
Jirou gave her a smile and nodded, she then quickly remembered what Izuku and his friends did back upstairs, wondering if they managed to stay away from the hoard of students and or were also forced downstairs. "Did you see Midoriya and the others run down with us?" Jirou asked.
Momo looked at her and shook her head, "No, I saw them stay behind upstairs," She replied, "It took me a while to figure out why they stayed behind but I realized and quickly ducked into one of the empty classrooms, but that's when I saw you and helped you up and brought you here with me," She told Jirou.
Jirou was confused, "What do you mean you figured out why they stayed behind?" She asked,
"Who's ever attacking the school would be outside, on the ground floor, it's where Midoriya and Ashido saw the attack happen and it's also where the front office is located, no doubt that whoever is down there, they will try to kill as many students as they can," Momo told Jirou.
Jirou realized she was making sense, but that also brought up another question. "But who's attacking the school?" Jirou asked.
Momo shook her head, "I don't know, but whoever they are, they aren't using guns," Momo said, "If they did, the whole school would have heard the shots,"
Jirou nodded in agreement, if they heard gunshots, they would have been loud, and everyone would have heard a bunch of loud bangs. However, before more could be said, they heard a pair of footsteps slowly walking down the hall, they both remained quiet and Momo slowly slid the door open only to see a student sluggishly walking down the hall.
Momo opened the door and slowly walked out of the classroom, Jirou followed her, as she approached the student.
Momo tapped the student on their shoulder, "Are you ok?" Momo asked in a hushed tone.
However, their answer was quickly delivered when the student turned around and had half their cheek missing, seeing the state the student was in, both of the girls were horrified and Momo quickly backed away just as the student tried to grab her.
"What the hell!?" Jirou cried.
Momo looked in shock as the student charged at her again, however, she saw a mop on the floor and with her foot, she kicked it up into the air, caught it, and quickly swung it at the student, knocking them into the wall, however, the student recovered and continued to charge at her.
"What is wrong with them?" Momo asked
Momo swung the mop at the student again, this time, there was a loud crack, however, it was the head of the mop snapping off and Momo backed away only for the student to charge right in front of her and tackle her, however, Momo kept them away with the stick of the mop. They chopped their jaws at the girl, but Momo kept them away with all her strength.
Jirou was trying to think about what to do, and her eyes fell upon a pencil on the ground, she grabbed it and quickly charged at the Student atop Momo, she grabbed the student by the hair, raising their head, and stabbed the student in the eye, and instantly, they student went limp.
They were dead.
Jirou was shocked at how easy it felt, however, Momo threw the dead student off of her and quickly got up and walked over to Jirou, and placed her hand on the other girl's shoulder.
Jirou looked at her with wide eyes, still in shock.
Momo gave her a reassuring look, "You saved my life," Momo told her, "Thank you," Momo said.
Jirou slowly came out of her shock and nodded in response, "Y-Yeah..." Jirou said.
Suddenly, they heard groaning and moaning and turned around to see a large group of students, all covered in blood and walking sluggishly, coming toward them.
"Shit! We need to go!" Jirou cried.
Momo nodded, "To the roof!" Momo cried, "It's our best option!"
The two then quickly ran to the other end of the hall where another flight of stairs was and ran up toward the roof, thankfully, they hadn't run into any of the dead on the way up the stairs. Momo still carried the broken mop, while Jirou picked up a rusty shovel on the stairs.
As they ran up the stairs, Jirou turned to Momo, "You sure it be safe up there?" She asked.
Momo nodded, "I'm sure!" Momo replied. "Up there, we can be spotted by helicopters where hopefully we'll be rescued." Momo finished.
Eventually, they arrived at the roof only to open the door to see a lot of undead students roaming around.
Momo looked in shock, "No!" She cried.
Jirou glared, "Oh fuck this!" Jirou cried in anger, ready to kill, raising the crowbar.
Suddenly, they heard someone cry out and saw the last person they expected to see. It was Izuku Midoriya, a fellow classmate, though, neither of the girls really knew him. They saw him run down the observatory, he was killing the students left and right, as of it was natural for him.
"He'll get overwhelmed, we need to help him," Momo said.
Jirou nodded and the two ran forward, where Momo quickly stabbed the pointy end of the broken mop stick into one of the student's eyes and kicked them off, Jirou bashed one in the face, sending them down on the floor, she then quickly slammed the end of the shovel down on their head, killing them.
The two girls moved forward, continuing to kill the undead around them, however, one of the undead students come up behind Momo, but before they could do anything, they were killed as three nails were shot in their heads. Jirou turned around to see the dead zombie, her eyes turned to the door that led back downstairs and that's when she saw Sero, Toru, and Mina, with another student, each had weapons and was heading toward them while dealing with a few of the undead that was around them.
Eventually, they all managed to kill the undead students that were on the roof, and all took a breather, allowing themselves a small break from everything that has happened today.
Mina looked at everyone, "Was anyone bit?" She asked.
Toru shook her head, "No, I'm ok," she said.
"Bite free," Sero said.
"Clean," Shinsou replied.
Mina nodded with a smile and turned to the two girls, "What about you two? You didn't get bit did you?" She asked.
Momo and Jirou were confused, wondering why she was asking them about being bitten.
"We're fine," Jirou said.
"Were are you worried about one of us being bit, Ashido?" Momo asked the Gyaru.
However, it wasn't Mina who answered her, instead, it was Izuku, "Because that's how it spreads," Izuku said, "Get bit by one of them and you die, but then you come back as one of them, and then you try to bite another and spread... whatever it is," Izuku said, his voice slightly shaken.
Mina walked over to him, "Midoriya... Iida? Uraraka?"
Izuku's hand tightened around the bat and he stiffened up, he just looked down at the ground, still not saying a word. Mina quickly understood and she looked down in sadness, knowing just how bad Izuku must have been feeling.
"Hold on," Jirou said.
Hearing her, Mina and Izuku turned to her.
Jirou looked at them with a shocked expression, "The way Midoriya described what happened... sounds like a damn zombie movie!" She cried
"Because it is!" Sero cried, "Everyone who's been bitten by these things, dies and then comes back! This is a freaking zombie movie!"
In shock, Jirou shook her, not wanting to believe any of this as she backed away slowly, even Momo was having a hard time believing all of this was happening, but she couldn't argue, as she looked around and saw some of the wounds on the undead they killed, their fleshed was ripped apart.
"What do we do now?" Toru asked with a raised eyebrow, "D-Do we stay here and wait for help or...?"
"We can't stay here," Momo said, "We may be seen but we can't just wait for help because it might never come, and if those things decide to come up here, we're trapped and doomed,"
Shinsou groaned, "Well it's not exactly going to be a piece of cake getting out of here either, the grounds are flooded with those fucking things," Shinsou said, "We try and rush through that, and we end up like them,"
"So that's it..." Mina began, "We're stuck here?" She asked.
Dread filled all of them as they slowly thought of how they were in a hopeless situation, however, a fire was lit inside Izuku, for some reason, he couldn't accept the fact that they were trapped up here, they needed to get out of here because he did not want to die in this school, but, another part of him thought about his Mom, Inko, how terrified and scared she must be right now, and he thought about how she was all he had left, and he knew that he needed to get to her
"We're getting out of here," Izuku told them.
Jirou looked at him with a bit of a glare, "Oh? And how the hell are we going to do that?" she asked.
Izuku looked back at her, however, he wasn't mad, simply determined. "We'll find a way, but I-I know I don't wanna die up here!" He said, "My mom's out there! I can't just wait here while she's out there worrying about me!" Izuku cried.
Hearing him, the others thought about their family outside of the school, and how they too must be scared about what is happening.
"He's right," Toru said, "My parents are out there, I-I have to make sure they're ok,"
Sero nodded in agreement, "I have my dad and my little sister out there, I can't just stay up here,"
"Same here," Mina said.
Hearing the other three agree with Izuku, Shinsou let out a sigh, "My parents are out of the country, and I have no idea of this is happening across the world, but... what the hell, I've already made it this far, might as well keep going," He said.
"I have to agree, I can't let my parents worry about me," Momo said.
Jirou let out a long sigh, "So this is it?" She asked, "We're just gonna try to escape a whole school full of... zombies?" She asked.
"If you have any better ideas besides waiting up here, we're all ears," Izuku replied. "Look, I get it, you're scared, but so am I, and so are they... but we can't just wait around and hope someone saves us, god knows when, so we have to save ourselves," He told her.
Jirou looked at him and she wanted to argue with him, the frightened part of her wanted to wait on this roof for help... but who knows how long that was going to be. Jirou slowly nodded and picked up her shovel, "Alright then, let's do this,"
Izuku nodded, "When we go back down, we need to be quick but quiet, they may not be blind but it might just help us out," Izuku said.
"We also need to watch our rear," Momo said, "I and Jirou can do that since our weapons don't need us to be too close,"
Izuku nodded, "Alright then, I guess me, Shinsou, and Sero will guard the front, with the nail gun, Sero can get them from a range, and if they get too close, Shinsou and I will handle it,"
Mina looked at Izuku, "What about me and Toru?" She asked.
Sero looked at the Gyaru, "You two stay in the middle, if we need help, jump in, but our main goal will be to protect Toru," Sero told Mina, "Toru has some medical experience so if we get injured, she can patch us up," Sero finished.
With that, the plan to escape UA High was formed, and the students opened the door that led back down into their school, all of them were determined to make it out and go see their loved ones, they just hoped that they would survive long enough to do so.
