10 minutes to Z-day:
Subject: Jimmy Hopkins

Jimmy awoke to hear the sound of Pete whimpering in the corner of the bedroom. "The hell is up with you?" Jimmy asked. "Come with me." Pete commanded as he scurried out of his room. Jimmy quickly dressed from anything he could find. He found a leather jacket, ratty jeans, and some sneakers and hurried after Pete. Pete hopped on a bicycle as he had Jimmy's next to him. "Come on! Hurry to the highest point in the school!" Jimmy was confused.

He didn't want to go back to the bell tower, but he remembered it was closed off. He quickly followed Pete and he found himself in front of Harrington house. "Bif wants to see you topside. He needs to show you something." Jimmy darted into Harrington house with Pete trailing along. He walked all the way up to the lookout and Bif was standing there with other preps. He had a telescope on a tripod in front of him. "Come take a look Hopkins. See your new challenge." Bif said in a dark voice.

Jimmy approached him and looked through the telescope. He looked around the town and all over, reaching from the Vale to Blue Skies Industrial. He saw fires and all sorts of chaos. "What does this have to do with me?" Jimmy asked. "Don't you get it you fool? The cannibals have made it to Bullworth town! It's hard to tell but they blocked the bridge leading from New Coventry to this part of town, I've gotten calls from a few of our fellow students, they are all over the place and trapped within New Coventry and Blue skies! What do you plan to do about it Hopkins?" Bif rudely stated. Jimmy thought about it but couldn't figure anything out. He decided to look through the telescope again and he finally saw the Zombies making their way through New Coventry. He heard screams come from the school, and looked down to see the gates were open as the flesh monsters came through.

"Oh damn!" Jimmy spurted out as he saw the zombies fishing around for students. He ran as quickly as he could downstairs to the entrance of the private house. "What is going on?" Bif demanded. "They made it here! Clearly they did a great job containing them! Now they're inside school grounds!" Jimmy yelled. He made his way outside of the house and ran for the gates. Pete was following as close as he could as Jimmy ran for it. "Jimmy how do we get the gates closed anyway?" Pete asked while running. "I think there's a switch in the janitor control room. Can you run down there and find it to close the gates?" Pete was frightened. Jimmy and Pete finally made it to the front of the school but now they had no plan other than the control room.

"Damn, is there any sort of effective weapons around here?" Jimmy asked. As he looked at the chaos ensuing it reminded him of a time not too long ago when chaos had sprung, this time they were directly from the gates of Hell. He saw kids, prefects, and teachers being chased by the hellions. Jimmy looked around and finally saw a sight that made his heart drop. He saw Zoe fighting a horde of zombies alongside Russell. "We've got to help Zoe!" Jimmy told Pete. "We don't have anything to fight with!" Pete yelled. Jimmy felt a presence come from behind and he looked and saw it was Seth with two baseball bats and a cricket bat.

"This time weapons are for prefects and students!" Seth said as he handed the baseball bats to the two boys. "Thanks. Let's get them!" Jimmy yelled. He ran to Zoe as Pete ran to find the control room alongside Seth. Jimmy saw one zombie heading towards him as he swung and took the zombies head clean off. He was getting close to Zoe when he saw Pinky being chased by three zombies. He ran towards them and took out two as the other pushed him back, the zombie was leaning closer to Jimmy's face trying to bite it off. All of a sudden he saw the zombie get knocked off of him and he saw the sight of Hal with a 2X4.

"You owe me Hopkins!" He yelled as he ran off. Jimmy quickly got up and picked up the bat and started off to Zoe. Zoe was pinned against a wall, as zombies got closer to her. Jimmy swung the bat and hit one in the temple caving it in; one zombie turned and tried to lunge but missed and was punched hard by Russell. The other zombie Zoe handled herself as she took out a pocketknife and stabbed it in the side of the head. "Damn Zoe. Nice!" Jimmy complimented. Zoe nodded out of breath and they made their way to the school building. "What's happening? Why are the gates still open?" Zoe finally asked. "Pete is working on it. The switch is in the janitor control room, I told him to go there." Jimmy stated. Zoe nodded as Russell had a look of anger on his face. "What's up Russell?" Jimmy asked.

"Trouble coming!" Russell blurted as he pointed. Jimmy saw a dark cloud headed towards the school, he assumed it was just a storm, but storms don't make an ear piercing buzzing noise. He soon realized the cloud seemed to get bigger and he finally realized what it was. "Wasps." Jimmy said. "Wasps? Why should we be scared?" Zoe asked. "They're fucking huge, and they don't look very happy." Jimmy stated. He realized soon the pack of wasps broke up as half went to the town and the other half spread out around the school. They were the size of Pete from the previous school year. A few landed in front of the three and looked up at them.

One wasp attempted a lunge at Jimmy but he dodged, soon he hit the wasp with a bat and smashed the head into the ground. Zoe then stabbed one wasp and stomped on one that attempted to attack. Russell booted one in the eye and went through its head and killed it. "Everyone inside now!" Jimmy yelled as some people came storming in as the wasps attacked very little of the people. Jimmy, Zoe, and Russell all defended the main entrance to the building and held of hordes of zombies and wasps. Once the last of them were in he saw the gates finally close and he ran inside after Zoe and Russell closing the door behind them. He soon realized the main building wasn't much better as he saw students being chased by zombies. There wasn't too many so they were dispersed of quickly.

The chaos inside the building and even outside soon came to a stop, zombies were held back, wasps retreated to the town, and some bodies of new students and some townsfolk who tried retreating to the school. Some students stayed inside the building as some of the tougher students went outside to check the bodies. Jimmy looked around and saw dead people lying on the ground, zombie carcasses spread around and very little amount of familiar students ripped apart. He saw Trent with half of him eaten, Dan the jock, or so he assumed, ripped to shreds and no sign of a head, he saw Angie puffed up from a wasp, that was about it. "Still not worried Jimmy?" Pete asked. Jimmy shook his head, he saw zombies chasing people all around the gates and he could hear the rioting going on in town. He heard the doors open from the main building. "You might want to look at this." It was Peanut. Jimmy ran to Peanut as Pete followed closely. They made it to chemistry lab where Johnny and a crowd of people had gathered.

Jimmy moved people away and saw Ricky on the ground with his stomach ripped open and a chunk of his leg gone. His little sister sat by his side crying her eyes out at the sight of her big brother dying. "Shit happens… Huh Jimmy?" Ricky asked weakly as soon as he caught sight. "Damn Ricky. How are you still alive?" Jimmy asked. Ricky shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. "Not for long. There's nothing that will help me now; I'm done for. My sweet little sister, remember what I have taught you." Ricky said as he coughed up a hunk of blood. "Someone take her over there or something… She shouldn't see what happens next…" He commanded as Norton came over and pulled her away. She yelled for Norton to put her down, and she called her brothers name several times. She was finally escorted out of the room, Ricky looked around with his vision blurred.

Jimmy couldn't help but feel horrible about the situation. "Jimmy, it was fun beating those preps that one time huh?" He asked with a laugh. "Yeah. It sure was." Jimmy chuckled. "Johnny, even though she broke up with me, tell her I love her… Will you?" He asked. Johnny came and got on a knee and nodded. "Also, could you… Do it for me?" Ricky asked. Johnny and everyone knew exactly what he meant. Jimmy handed over his baseball bat to Johnny who waved it away. He picked up a metal pole that was next to him; he got up and held it high in the air. "Do it…" Ricky said. Johnny swung the pole at Ricky hitting him in the temple and cracking his head open. Johnny kept swinging almost out of anger for his friend being so foolish. Jimmy had to stop him and soon Johnny broke down and kicked a table and stormed out of the room.

Everyone there started to feel remorse for not stopping Johnny, they also felt terrible for not enjoying the times with their families, despite their differences. People started to walk out of the room and Jimmy was last to walk out. Everyone gathered inside the cafeteria were Edna was guarding it with a shotgun on her back, and an M16 in her hands. "When did you start packing Edna?" Jimmy asked as he walked by. "As soon as I heard about this crap. Actually I had a pistol before then but still, got to make the best of it!" She said as Jim walked into the cafeteria to hold what could possibly be their first apocalypse meeting and discussion. Everyone gathered around and sat at different tables, not minding the person they were sitting by, friend or enemy. "Well guys, its finally come. I hate to say what's on other peoples minds but; aren't we all thinking the same thing? We've got real monsters to deal with now. This isn't a joke, and we've got a real deal apocalypse that we all secretly wished for. Is it what you expected, what you wanted, or desired? It isn't for me; this is a worse nightmare than this school was. Now I ask you my friends, what do we do now? We have a ton of our friends holed up in New Coventry and the industrial park. If we can, we need all the help we can get. I leave the floor open to whomever wants to speak." Jimmy finished as he waited. "Who is missing exactly?"A voice spoke up.

"Derby for one. He's still holed up at the hospital in town." Bif called out. "Lola, Vance, and Lefty are trapped in New Coventry." Johnny yelled out. "The nerds aren't to be found anywhere." One of the teachers called out. "Ted, Mandy, Damon, and Casey can't be found." Kirby spoke up. "Neither is Pinky!" Tad spoke up. "Nobody has seen Dr. Crabblesnitch either. He must have disappeared." Edna spoke as she came down the stairs going into the crowd. "Missing all of your manpower aren't you?" A voice was heard, unfamiliar to everyone. The voice came from the stairs as Jimmy walked over. He saw a large man dressed in jeans, black shirt, and black jacket, with black shoes. He was tall and lean, charcoal hair, rings on his fingers, a scorpion necklace laced around him, and fingerless gloves. The boy came down the stairs to reveal himself, and he was Caucasian and English.

"Who are you?" Jimmy asked not a hint of friendliness at the stranger. "Just call me Drew. I think you people need me more than you know. You may not know me but I know about you people. I hide in the shadows you don't bother looking at, I see things no man can see with the naked eye, and I know more than you think. Not to be full of myself but I do my research on people I admire. Namely you James Hopkins." Drew finished. "Yeah? How can you help us?" Jimmy demanded. "I've had experience in these situations, I've fought off countless zombies, wasps, and other spawns of Hell you don't want to see so soon. I've been sent here on a freelance assignment to help you people. I admit taking it was a risk to not only my life, but it puts yours at stake too."

"Really, so why don't you just leave and not put us in danger?" Jimmy asked demandingly. Drew couldn't help but chuckle at Jimmy's bravery and arrogance. "I know you have trust issues. I know all about what happened, chaos at the school, you being wanted for felonies, including vandalism, graffiti, violence, and tagging City Hall. Dropping these charges is useless in this new world of ours, laws won't apply anymore, it doesn't mean you can go killing whoever you want. Here's the thing, I know about your situation with that Gary Smith, I've had experience with the boy myself, he burnt down the school he was assigned to before coming here. By assigned I mean the school he was enrolled in, finally he just got out of Happy Volts not too long ago. I assume you know about it, however if you don't it's out on the table now. He's in Bullworth somewhere, so watch your back. He's got weapons and supplies, so try your best to stay away from him, I see the only weaponry you have are sticks and stones, other than Edna here. Also your townie friends are hanging around the industrial park; if you can make it, try. Try and find your friends there, they can help you more than you think. They won't last long if you leave them, I'm sorry to deliver that news to you, but I felt I needed to make that suggestion to you. Just make sure you will make the right decision. I'm here to help if you need it, like you said, you'll need all the manpower you can get." Drew finished as he waited for a response. Zoe walked up behind Jimmy and asked Drew, "Is Edgar okay?"

"Edgar can handle himself, but unfortunately he is in deep trouble, holing up in the chemical plant won't last for much longer, other Bullworth kids have holed up with them, along with some cops, you probably shouldn't waste time." Drew finished. Zoe brought Jimmy to the back room in the kitchen. "We may need him, Edgar is in trouble." Zoe said. "What if he's lying? What if he's working with Gary? We can't risk trusting a stranger who somehow knows all about us. He's too young to be a fed." Jimmy stated. Pete came in getting their attention. "What he said about all of that is true, the security cameras are all over the place, he can see every square inch of Bullworth, including the plant. I just saw it everyone seems to have taken refuge there. We need to help them!" Pete said. Jimmy and Zoe gave each other a look and walked out from the kitchen. "What about Derby? Is he okay?" Bif asked.

"I don't know, it appears they have moved him from the hospital. He may have gotten moved to another hospital out of the area, though I haven't checked the footage for hours, wherever he is, he's long gone by now." Drew finished. "Alright, you can stick with us for the time being. Just stay here, I will bring a team to get them out of there." Jimmy demanded. "You'll need me though." Drew said. "I don't fully trust you yet. Until I do you should stick here." Jimmy commanded. "I've got a deal to make with you. If you get to the Chemical plant and they aren't there, you can kill me on site when you get back. However, I'm sticking by my word of the chemical plant, if they are there, you should trust me."

"We'll see. If they really are there, I'll try trusting you. If you did lie, I'll just kill you."

"Exactly what I said. So, gather your team and go then. I suppose I'll wait here." Drew said. Jimmy gathered up a group of people, consisting of him, Zoe, Russell, Johnny, Peanut, Hal, Norton, Bif, Bryce, Bo, Juri, Seth, and of course, Pete. Leaving few people behind but with good protection. "If he does anything funny Edna, shoot him." He whispered as the group started walking out. Edna had a nasty grin on her face as she stared right at Drew sitting at a table. Jimmy wasn't sure what to prepare for but the group walked out of the back. "How do we get out exactly?" Bif asked. "Simple, we go through the observatory tunnels."

Subject: Gary Smith

Gary walked the streets of old Bullworth Vale along with Tony by his side. Gary had a pistol in his holster, one in his hand, a shotgun on his back, and two large knives in his boots. Tony had an AK-47 on his back, two knives hanging off his belt, and a large metal bat in his hands. They trekked along the streets scouring the area. "Not many around here huh?" Gary asked Tony. "Guess not. I assume this leaves our plan to take the Academy out of reach right? Butts into our plan like a knife piercing skin. Why are you so obsessed with Hopkins anyway, he's probably dead." Tony said. "Highly unlikely, Jimmy may be a brat, but he's a survivor. I hate admitting that, but it is the truth, he's a lucky bastard if he survives for a while. He's probably off looking for his dead friends or something. Either way he'll probably die soon enough, if he doesn't and I find him, I might kill him myself." Gary finished angrily. "You didn't answer my question." Tony said in all seriousness.

"Jimmy got off easy. I got expelled. I hated the school, but I wanted the people to worship me like a God. Not all dreams come true when the hero of a story isn't you. You're just the lowly antagonist that rarely shows up, and when he does, he strikes. Strikes with the fierce of the almighty. Even with all that might the bad guy still loses and is never seen again, and people wonder where they went after the events took place. In this new world anybody can be the good guy, but it takes guts to be the bad guy. I hate Jimmy with a passion, but I may have no choice but to suck up to him. He won't believe me at first, but he soon will. He's dumb as a fucking stump; he'll probably fall for it again, though something in me is saying I shouldn't kill him. It's a small voice in a crowd of a million, but it's the only voice I hear now. Anyway hopefully that answers your question. If it doesn't I guess you weren't listening hard enough." Gary finished searching around. "I guess. What the hell is that?" Tony pointed.

Gary saw a thing walking down the street a little bit ahead of them; it looked like it was on the wall. Gary signaled for him to get down and they did. They hid behind a flipped car and looked at the thing leaning on the wall is it walked. "Fucking ugly." Gary whispered as Tony nodded. They moved closer, slowly, and tried figuring out what it was. They moved close enough to it, that they could almost make out the figure in the darkness. "Is he wearing something weird?" Tony whispered. "How can you tell it's a he?" Gary whispered in response. "Doesn't have long hair." Tony responded. "I think it's a survivor. He might be alive." Gary said as he moved closer to his prey. He stood in front of the figure and could almost make out whom it was. He looked oddly familiar, though the hair was a mess, the clothes were tattered, and the person had bruises and pieces of glass all over them.

"Hey buddy. Look at me." Gary commanded as the figure looked up at him. This man had healed from whatever happened to him, but the scars were still there, the man looked at Gary in surprise, anger, and confusion. "Gary?" The man said. "Derby Harrington… So the rumor is true. You got beat by Femme boy didn't you?" Gary asked. Derby shook his head in embarrassment, something he had rarely shown anyone. "What happened to you?" Tony asked coming up to him. "Jimmy probably told Pete to beat him." Gary stated. "No, unfortunately I got what I deserved. I'm defeated and at a loss right now. I'm alone, I survived jumping out of a window, managed to stay away from whatever is chasing us, and Harrington's never lose." Derby finished as he coughed.

"You didn't get bit or in contact did you?" Gary asked. "Almost, that's why I jumped out of the hospital window, to get away from it. Not one of my best ideas. I'll be fine though. Do you guys have a car or something?" Derby asked. "Nope. We can probably hotwire one though. Namely that Cadillac over there." Tony said and pointed toward a Cadillac across the street. Gary nodded as he walked over to the car. He checked in the windows and saw nothing inside the car, it was just parked there, no damage, perfect condition other than splotches of blood on the hood. Gary searched the ground and found the keys to the car under it. He opened the doors and got in, he then started the car and it had ¾ of a full tank still left in it. "Get in." He commanded them.

Tony wrapped Derby's arm around him and walked him to the car and put him in the back to stretch out. Tony proceeded to get in the front seat next to Gary. They closed the doors as Gary sat there getting a feel of the car. "Do you even know how to drive?" Tony asked. "Does it even matter? Who's going to pull me over?" Gary asked. Tony shrugged as Gary started to drive off into the night. They drove through the streets of the town as they made their way to New Coventry. Barricades blocked the path to it. "Damn! Now what, it's the only way out!" Gary yelled. Derby sat up in the back and got their attention. "My father has a helicopter at my personal get away in the industrial park on the other side of town."

"So? The path is blocked to the park, it won't help." Tony said. "But there is a path on school grounds leading to the asylum, which could be close to the park." Gary said. "So, we ditch the car?" Tony asked. "Why couldn't we just drive through the gates, then make our way to the shortcut?" Derby asked.

"The car is too big to fit through the tunnels, plus driving through the gates would give is trouble. We may have to sneak through, I just don't know how. Obviously the gates won't be open for security purposes, so there's one problem. The crowds of the undead that could be waiting outside the gates is a huge problem, one scratch or bite you're dead. Those are our biggest issues at this point other than New Coventry blocking the way. We could swim but we don't know what's out there. Like I always say, its sink or swim. If you're a good swimmer, you got to let the losers drown, and unfortunately we may do more than just drown out there. We don't know what's behind the barriers either, it could be a few or a million, but I'm not willing to find out." Gary explained. All the boys thought for a few minutes as they heard something approach the car.

"The shortcut. It's in front of the second school gate on the side. It leads straight to New Coventry and Blue Skies Industrial." Derby spoke up. Gary nodded as he put the car in reverse and drove toward the school, hoping to whatever entity existed it wasn't blocked off, or a wave of zombies. Gary had found the bridge leading to Bullworth Academy, unfortunately it wasn't what he hoped to find. Flipped cars, exposed dead bodies, the undead, and what appeared to be a few overgrown wasps surrounded the bridge and led to the academy. "Fantastic." Gary said disappointed. "What are those things?" Derby asked. "Fucking wasps. Not the kind you know, but genetically engineered killers. I read about the government's latest actions, little did these idiots know, wasps get pissed as hell when provoked, and with them being big they have a superiority complex. So I guess you are used to them." Gary said. Derby scoffed as Tony held his head in his palms. "What's up with you?" Gary asked Tony.

"I hate wasps. Biggest fear of my life is these tiny little fuckers, and now they're big. Great times at Bullworth I say! Should have stayed in Florida." Tony said. "Snap out of it moron. The flesh eaters are our biggest concern right now, wasps are nothing compared to them, and they can be squashed as easily as any other bug. That's their weakness, just stomp the crap out of them!" Gary said. Gary heaved a big sigh and drove as fast as he could through the debris. He hit wasps, zombies, and ran through every burning car. "You're going to get us killed man!" Tony yelled. "Shut up! I know what I'm doing!" Gary yelled back. He found the side entrance to the school and took the detour on the dirt road in front of the gate. Luckily the undead weren't smart enough to figure out this has all access to the area.

The car started to slow down as they reached the shortcut leading to the industrial park. "We have to go on foot from now on." Gary commanded. Derby groaned and got out of the car, almost like a child throwing a fit of rage. "This should lead us right to the asylum. Do you know where to go from the asylum rich boy?" Gary asked. Derby nodded and decided to lead on despite his setbacks and condition. Gary wanted to leave Bullworth for good, and nothing would change his mind. Not a girl, not Pete, Tony, Derby, and not even Jimmy could turn him back to Bullworth. He wasn't sure what he was in for on the helicopter ride, he was just hoping someone knew how to fly the damn thing.

A/N: Alright cool so here is the next part to Z-day! I've been slowing down a lot lately with the story and that's pretty much the reasoning behind why it takes so long to update the story. I tried to keep some if the characters in context to their canon beings, but as I wrote I kind of felt that the characters would drift into a different state of being in a situation like this, I mean in real life I'm the nicest person, but once the apocalypse happens its killed or be killed hombre. So in reality anybody will change during that kind of thing, and it does make the writing a bit easier, I know these characters inside and out, or at least used to, and this kind of just spawned. To add to the list of what I'm up to I have a couple of new original stories I'm working on as well as various FF that I might post including a special GTA 5 FF. Also I hope the OC I created isn't too cheesy for anybody, I know it seems like he's too perfect and convenient for the apocalypse, but trust me he will have some serious issues. In case you haven't figured out, there most definitely is going to be a lot of character deaths, as well as possible side OC's. For anybody interested here is my tumblr!

So as always stay sweet readers!
