Hello everybody Wombag1786 here So last chapter before I return to my usual schedule (two weeks working on my main story before working on my secondary story and a weekend story every week.) I was planning to do four I just can't at the moment. So this chapter is more or less takes place after Velvets death and it will let you feel more in sync with the characters so if they do kick the bucket then it will be equally heart breaking. So it's not an official chapter but will give you guys details into the OC's past, if you have an OC in the story you will get one eventually. Now again if you want to add your own OC then just follow the instructions from the prequel. (And as a reminder the OC can be from both the state of decay universe or RWBY.)
Let's begin shall we.
In the woods north of Lowe
The forest was tranquil as ever, with the lack of humans around this allowed nature to take back its home. As we view the beautie of nature a shrub began to move rapidly before a deer steps out of it. It raises its nose and smells the air before moving along the road. The deer walks along the path to a small stream. It quickly looked around before dipping its head into the water and taking a small sip, as it drank a loud snapping noise can be heard causing it to look up frantically and look around... as it looked around it smelled the air before realizing its not alone. A gunshot echoed through out the forest and the deer fell down dead with a bullet to the heart. After a few moments three figures emerged from the woods sporting hunting rifles Eli, Fang, and Ruby.
"(Whistle with impresion) Damn Ruby your getting good at this." Eli remarks at her kill.
"Yea I guess so." Ruby remarks emotionless. It had been a week since Velvets death and Ruby now stoped crying at night but she still was in mourning her friend's death.
"(Sigh) well come on kid let's just carve her up. We can't exactly carry this "buck"in our back pockets." Eli said trying out one of Yang's puns to try and get her out of her mood. This however felt wrong because it just bad.
"Yea I guess." Ruby said as she pulls out her knife and begins to skin the fear just like Eli taught her.
"... (sigh) Nothing seems to get through to her man she just there." Eli whispers to Fang.
"Yea I know she lost her friend but it's been a week and that's five months in apocalypse time." Fang comments. "But still she never experienced loosing a friend before. Do you know what its like to loose someone for the first time."
Eli pounders before he looked down at a scar on his wrist remembering how he had gotten it on the first day of the apocalypse.
Flashback
Eli was currently sitting on top of a shack rooftop keeping a watchful eye for cops. Meanwhile his brothers down below were talking with some yakuza looking buyers for a special sale on 45ACP uzi rounds. The deal seems to go acourding to plan when the sound of sirens can be heard and cops drove up the road.
"What the fuck!" Job shouts as he pulls out a double barrel.
"Ah fuck someone snitched in us!" Mickey responds as he pulls out a Glock.
Soon the Yakuza pulled out their weapons and the cop drove forward... crashing into a tree. The criminals didn't even stop to ask what had happened and unloaded their clips into the car along with the two oldest Wilkerson siblings. Once everyone was out of ammo and the sound of clicking can be heard the yakuza slowly begin to reload their guns and the same goes for Job and Mickey Wilkerson. After a moment of silence one of the Yakuza leaders order one of his men to investigate the car. He quietly moved forward taking a few steps toward the car with his finger on the trigger, he slowly opens the door and look inside to see two dead bodies.
"They Dead bosu." The Yakuza gang member shouts out in a poor English causing everyone to calm down. The moment they let their guards down a hand reaches out and grabs ahold of him and pulls in into the car with only his legs showing. He begins to shriek and cry in pain all the while shooting his gun blindly, accidentally killing his boss.
Once he ran out of bullets the Yakuza members stopped screaming as a munching sound can be heard. His legs fell out of the car revealing something ripped him in half. As everyone began to panic the creature pulls itself from out of car showing it to be what people would call a feral.
"What in the holy hell..." Job mutters before the creature let's out a growling howl and raced forward with another howl can be hear and the sound of more running towards them. Meanwhile Eli witnessed everything and he couldn't believe what he just saw, but even as the zombie ripped that man to shreds he knew that this was the sign to get out of dodge. He quickly looked around before he noticed a huge ass wrench hanging inside the cabin and quickly ran to grab it.
Outside how ever things have gone to hell literally. The feral managed not only to attacked a hoard of zombies but also a few screamers as well. Currently the Yakuza started out strong mowing down their undead attackers but they were used to simple spray and pray tatics and they didn't managed to kill enough to help them and soon they became over run. Job and Mickey on the other hand had a better chance since they learn to fight with their fist before their were guns, but luck wasn't on their side and soon they resorted to random Garson tools they have lying around.
"Jesus fuck what are these things!" Mickey shouts as he caved in one of the undead with a gardening hoe.
"The fuck I know, zombies? Look just go for the head that's all you need to think about!" Job shouts as he stabs a pickaxe into another zombies eye socket. Mickey only grunts as he starts to become swarmed with the undead but they managed to push them back till the feral tackles Job. Mickey screams out but wasn't able to do to the other zombies.
As the feral tries to rip out his throat Job managed to beat it back but only barley. The feral finally got a chance to munch down but was interrupted by Eli.
"Get the fuck off him you ugly som-bitch!" Eli shouts as he cracks the feral over the side of the head with the big ass wrench. He then takes another swing at the monster but the feral quickly ducks underneath it and jumps up biting his left arm... hard. Eli screams in pain as the feral try's to drag him into a kill spot while Eli frantically looks around for something to save his life, He lucky grabbed ahold of one of the dead Yakuza browning 9MM pistol and points it upwards towards the feral before shooting it at point blank range in the face killing it.
He got his arm loose from the jaws of the feral looking down at his arm he sees it bleeding horribly as bruising started to form over the deep bite wound. After silently crying for a bit he looks up to see a zombie standing over him before it's brains explode from a double barrel buckshot to the face.
"Eli! Oh lord in heaven, what the hell were you thinking boy!" Job shouts as he ran over to him and inspectes his arm. "Oh why the hell you didn't stay on the roof, Mickey we need gauze!"
"Well What was I supposed to do let you and Mick die! Fuck that!" Eli complains before he gets a slap on the back of the head.
"Yes that's what your suppose to fucking do!" Job shouts before Mickey came running forward with a few of the Yakuza members blazers sleeves.
"Couldn't find any gauze so this will have to do!" Mickey explains as he began to rip and tear the sleeve to form a makeshift gauze.
After a few minutes the wound was sealed and the blood slowed down. The two older brothers sighed in relief before they hear the sound of something coming. They look over to see a few screamer wandering around till they noticed the three. Soon before anyone could do anything the screamers let out a massive howl that caused the three brothers to cover their ears in pain. Soon another massive hoard can be heard as more zombies made their way down from the mountains.
"Eli... run." Job said strictly as he pulls off a small backpack and hands it to Eli.
"Fuck that we three got to..." before he could finish Job shouts at him. "No Eli you are gonna RUN RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!"
Soon Mick quick turns around grabs Eli and shoves him away before shooting close to his foot missing intentionally. Eli didn't know what to do so he ran. With all his stamina he ran away as his two brothers stayed behind to fight off the zombie hoard. Probably was that was the last time he ever see Job Wilkerson alive.
End of flashback
Eli was now looking down at his arm. The ferals bite mark has turned into a nasty scar but a cruel reminder that he never got to say his goodbye to his older brother. He then shakes his head clearing the memory from his head. By now Ruby had just finish skinning the dear and now was packing the meat into some small plastic containers and packages to keep the meat fresh.
"Damn Ruby, if you keep up with the good work maybe I can train you to stuff them." Eli comments. Ruby didn't say a word and just handed Eli the package meat before slinging her hunting rifle and walking away.
"(Sigh) she has to open up eventually. Ain't natural for her to be quiet like that." Eli mutters.
"Yea I may be the quiet one in my platoon but even this was way to quiet even by my standers." Fang comments, the two men then heads down the road following Ruby.
"So I have been meaning to ask you, what was it like serving this country's best?" Eli asked trying to start up a conversation.
"Well...it was hell. At boot camp I never fit in and was constantly mocked because of my Otaku life style. Otherwise if it wasn't for that and that crap we called food. It was... peachy." Fang said as he remembers the first ten weeks in basic training.
"Alright well did you get deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq? Cause my pops use to serve till he died in the explosion." Eli asked as he and Fang watch Ruby kill a zombie that had stumbled onto the road with the same hunting knife she used to skin the dear.
"Um no, I was actually deployed in Trumbull Valley after the first week." He explained before turning his attention to Ruby. "Hey don't use the same knife. We don't want to catch any diseases."
"Ok." Ruby said emotionless as she walks on.
"Oh so you were one of those military guys who kept us locked in with the zombies?" Eli asked.
"Well..." Fang starts to have a flash back of the first week in Trumbull Valley and his first hand on experience with the undead.
Flashback
2 1/2 months after initial outbreak
A younger Fang was currently sitting silently on his military bunk reading the latest My Hero Academy manga. As he smirked to himself reading a funny part from the story while he failed to notice someone sneaking in behind him. As he flipped the page a ginger woman with a close cropped hairstyle pushed her face close to him and shouts boo scaring him half to death as he fell off his bunk and onto the cold hard ground.
"Ow Damn it Vic! I was reading!" Fang shouts as he pulls himself off the ground while holding his back.
"Ha ha ha. What ever nerd lord." Vic laughed as she swipes the manga away from him before he can reache it. "Whatcha reading nerdy."
Fang looked over at Vic who flipped through the book. Before haphazardly throwing it over her head causing Fang to dive straight for it. "Eh just some nerd stuff. You know Fang, instead of sitting in here reading this garbage you should be out by the gym otherwise you may have bigger tits then me."
She then starts to get undressed as she place on a new pair of clothes. All the while Fang mumbles some insults under his breath not realizing that Vic overhead him.
"What was that nerdy, want me to give you a swirly, give you a asswhiping, or better yet make you bitch so you can kiss my ass even louder!" Vic sarcastically threatens not caring that she was topples. At this point Fang had enough of her so he just rolled his eyes and walked out quietly all the while she just kept on mocking him.
Once outside he was nearly blinded by the bright light from the sun but ignored it as he stomps off. He eventually found a nice quiet place to read his manga in peace. He sat down underneath a desolated tree and just open his manga when an alarm went off.
"Attention intruder alert, I repeat intruder alert."
Fang quickly dropped his manga and raced towards the armory once inside he saw to his horror a few zombies making a snack of his fellow soldiers. He quickly scans the room till he noticed a stander M9 Beretta pistol in a houlster on the other side of the room while a K-bar knife was sticking out from a bench. After looking over to see the zombies had just noticed him, he quickly sprinted over to the gun as the zombies sprinted over each other trying to grab him. A zombie had the wise idea to go around so Fang grabs the knife while running before tossing it at the zombie in front of him causing the zombie to fall down dead with a knife sticking out of its head. He then grabs to pistol as two zombies tackled him. He begins to panic a bit as he struggles to get the zombies off him. Eventually he got the upper hand and placed the gun into mouth of one of his attackers and shot off a round before taking aim at the other with the gun barrel still inside the the zombies mouth. After killing the two zombies he just got up from underneath the two zombies before spotting his weapon locker. He opens the locker grabbing his Scar-H before running out into combat. Before leaving he looked one last time at the open locker door with a picture of him having one of his arms over a man shoulder and the other holding a Ramune drink in his had. The man had a beard while wearing a pair of Oakley's and it seems to be in Japan manga convention.
He then ran outside to see soldiers from different platoons running around as the undead try to feast on them. He knew he had to get with his so he ran straight through the thic of the shitstorm barley dodging bullets and zombie grabs till he recognizes Vic standing with the rest of their platoon fighting off the undead.
"Fang bout time you got your shit out here! Don't just nerd out get our ass into gear and kill some fuck nuggets!" Vic shouts as she grabs a zombies arm and judo throws it over her before curb stomping its face in.
Fang didn't had time for her bitching so he aimed his rifle into the hoard of undead and began to fire upon them. Minuets passed by and the hoard of the undead fell but not with out the lives of a lot of soldiers. When the battle was over, sixty soldiers were reported dead and five were reported missing believed to be KIA. That wasn't something new to the soldiers who were stationed here the longest, What was the reason why. During the skirmish traces of something braking in by using tools revealed how the undead managed to get in and soon a search began. Fang was sent to search the storage unit near the exit to the valley entrance. Once inside he turned on his flashlight and began to scan the room for anyone. While walking around he hear a coughing sound and quickly turned around with his gun drawn. He stopped and listened for more coughing for a few moments till it began again this time coming from a food crate in front of him. He slowly made his way to the crate to see someone had unlocked it. He slowly reached down and pulls on the handle swinging the door wide open to reveal a dozen of different civilians inside, one of them had an old family revolver in his hand and had it pointed at Fang.
"Hands up! Drop the fucking gun! Do it!" Fang ordered as he kept his gun trained on him. The children of the group began to cry all the while the man who was holding his gun began to shake nervously.
"... ok, please don't shoot." The man said as he flips the gun and places it on the ground before kicking it over.
Fang knelt down slowly and slowly picked up the gun. Soon his radio came alive and Vic was on the line.
"Hey nerd lord. Do you have visual on suspect or are you eye another big tity tween?!?" Vic asked rudely.
The civilian started to beg him not to answer the radio knowing full well they can't run nor can they hide. Fang thought about what to do next, and in this moment he made the choice and quickly grabbed his radio.
"Vic I have found the culprits who let in the zombies, I repeat I have found the suspects." Fang said as the civilians began to cry and panic in fear.
"Well I'll be a son of a bitch, nerdlord caught the criminals. Ok Fang we'll be right over soon enough." Vic said before the transmitter ended.
After a few minutes soldiers poured into the building and captured all thirty civilians who had accidentally allowed the zombies in. Sargent Erik Tanner called HQ for orders on what to do, what he received did not please him. At 1800 hours all civilians captured including the children were placed against the back of the wall while the soldier took aim. The soldiers took the new differently, some out right refused, some agreed to do so out of revenge for their fallen comrades, Fang however was unfortunate enough to be selected to be one of soldiers who was forced to aim his rifle in the fireing squad. As most of the civilians pleaded for their lives and their children one stood out. The same one who handed Fang the gun, he looked Fang dead in the eye with disappointment.
"Get ready!" Vic shouts as everyone pointed their gun at the civilians who now were screaming. "Take aim...FIRE!!!"
With that the civilians were mowed down by the soldiers, every single one of them pulled the trigger except Fang who didn't even pulled the trigger. He never wanted to be part of the military but this, he knew wasn't what the military should be doing. He felt so... wrong. No word could describe the feeling of knowing that these thirty people died all because of him. It was at this moment he knew he had to get out of this military complex right now. The first moment he gets he would flee this valley the moment he gets his chance. The scene turns down from his tramitised face and moved downwards revealing that in his houlster wasn't his stander issued M9 but the a old family revolver instead.
End of flashback
"... it was hell. We were supposed to help people but turn them away or shot at them. So the first chance I got stole a chopper had some supports from the locals and I flew my ass out of there." Fanged explains as he looked down at the revolver.
"Yea, always thought you military guys lived in the lap of luxury. Guess I was wrong." Eli mussed as the two moved a bit quicker to catch up to Ruby.
"Yea well the one thing I don't miss is the rations. God I know we are eating spam and candy to survive but compare that to my instant beef stew, I'll pass thank you very much." Fang joked as they turn the corner to see Ruby was standing still looking down at a lake.
"Hey Rubes want to snag some fish or something?" Eli holler. She didn't replies and Fang looks over to were she was looking. To his shock he notice a young adult (early twenties) with dark brown hair floating in the water.
"Oh god, Eli theirs a kid in the water!" Fang shouts out before making a sprint to the water. Eli noticed it to and made a sprint as well both men raced towards the water and pulled the boy out of the water.
"Is he alive?" Ruby asked now breaking out of her morning trance seeing the boy in danger.
"He's still breaving so that's good but his temperature is way to low. We need to get him back to the base." Fang explains as he picks him up. While doing so a dozen zombies start to pour out of the woods going after the four.
"Fang, me and Ruby will cover you. Just don't slow down." Eli shouts as he loads his hunting rifle while Ruby does the same. Soon enough they sprinted forward with Ruby and Eli killing the undead while Fang carried the unconscious child.
