We return to the grave situation at hand... My spine and ribs were in tatters, preventing me from getting up and helping the survivors stave off the zombie horde coming at us, Damion was also still recovering, his abilities limited in his condition, Aisu stuck in a wall by his spiky armor and Erika alone to defend against the horde. All seemed lost as zombies closed in on her and Rei. But then, Takashi jumped off the roof of the HUMV, landing in front of his downed girlfriend and taking aim at the zombies. "Pull the slide... Aim for the head... FIRE!" He said, blasting them, getting knocked back slightly from the gun's impressive recoil, blasting 3 zombies, killing the one in the center and grazing the 2 beside it.
"Attaboy, Takashi!" I called to him, then turned by attention to Aisu, shooting a fireball right in between his horns, blasting the wall behind him and freeing him.
"I'm free!" He cheered, doing a little dance in mid-air.
"Alright, now come help me! I'll heal faster in a standing position!" I called.
"I'm on it!" He said, flying to me, grabbing me under the arms and lifting me up. In about 30 seconds, my ribs had snapped back into place and my spine had completely realigned itself.
"That's more like it! Let's do this!" I said, rushing into the crowd of zombies with a chainsaw in one hand and a weapon of my own design in the other hand: the Demon's Fang, a curvy, spiky longsword with a demonic, flame-like design for the blade, spinning around like a deadly-ass spinning top, either decapitating zombies or slicing them in half.
"Hey, don't take all the fun! It's my turn!" Aisu said, flying into the air and raining down ki blasts, on occasion swooping down, smashing their heads with his tail and flying back up into the air.
"Hey, get down here and fight for real like the rest of us, you little coward!" Erika said.
"A: I'm taller than you, B: let's see you do better." He said in a sassy tone, crossing his arms.
"A: Only with your horns and B: Gladly." She said, holding out both hands and aiming into the horde. "FINAL... FLASH!" She shouted, vaporing a giant line of zombies directly in front of her.
Takashi was relieved we were back in the game, but slightly upset he only killed one. "What the hell! I aimed at the head! I only killed one of them!?" He asked.
"You don't know what you're doing!" Kohta said, climbing out of the HUMV's top. "Because of the recoil the muzzle moves off-target and the pattern shoots high! Shoulder the gun and lean into it! Aim around the chest!" He instructed.
He repeated the instructions to himself and fired, knocking down at least 2 zombies at once. "Awesome!" He said, but then looked up at all the zombies. "Oh, man. There are way too many. Even with demons and aliens helping us out." He said.
"They certainly do have the advantage of numbers, don't they!" I said, holding the chainsaw out of in front of me to keep the zombies out of arm's range and shooting fire out of Demon's Fang to roast the other ones coming at me.
"After the shot, keep the aim on the target and pull the slide! Shift the muzzle just a tiny bit!" Kohta instructed while shooting at more zombies from the roof of the HUMV.
Takashi did so, taking out 2 zombies with each shot. "Cool! Fuckin' A!" He shouted excitedly, cocking the gun and trying to shoot again, but nothing happened. "Oh! Out of bullets!" He said, reaching in his pockets for more, but he dropped most of them. "Oh, shit, Dammit!" He said, reaching for them.
Saeko then got out of the HUMV. "Takashi! I'll cover you, but you better move like you've got a fucking purpose!" She said.
"That's a new phrase." I said.
"I know, I thought she was gonna say like he's got a fire cracker up his ass." Aisu agreed, continuing his ariel assault.
"You can't! There are way too many of them to fight with a wooden sword!" Takashi shouted.
She smirked at this. "Just get the girl." She said, dodging a zombie and uppercutting with her sword.
"Besides, I've got a real one!" Damion said, fighting along side her, slicing through a big group of zombies and firing at 6 more.
Takashi reached for a bullet, but he accidentally knocked it further away, right under a zombies foot. "Really, man?" I ask, picking up and flinging a rock at the zombie, the rock going through her head, killing her instantly. "Oh, yeah! ~If I ain't got a weapon, I'mma pick up a rock and when I bust your ass I'm gon' continue to rock~" I sang, throwing another rock, bouncing it off 4 zombies heads and killing them all.
"What do you see in him?" Damion asked Erika.
"You know what they say about the crazy ones!" She replied, punching a zombie's head off and sending into another zombie's face, knocking it down.
Still, the zombie horde never seemed to stop, Takashi was surrounded. "Well, this is it. We had a good run." He said, turning and hugging Rei. At this moment, however, he felt the strap of the gun she was carrying. "Oh, yeah!" He said, remembering the gun and trying to take it, but it was strapped to Rei. "Sorry." He said. Before she had time to question what he was saying, she was back on the ground on her back with Takashi laying down practically on top of her, holding the gun up on her chest, her boobs trapped between his arm wrapping around them to grab the gun, the gun and the side of his face. "Kohta, what about this?!" He asked.
"Flick the lever in front of the trigger guard! You can disengage the safety that way! After that, pull the slide, you're ready to shoot!" Kohta instructed, looking away from his gun for a moment, before shooting again.
Takashi did as he was told and began firing, unfortunately slamming the gun into Rei's boobs each time, causing her to let out small screams of pain. He was nowhere near as accurate with this gun, however, missing with almost every shot and some bullets flying around rather dangerously, one going right underneath Saeko as she was leaping towards another zombie, almost hitting her ass. "HEY, WATCH IT, THAT ASS IS MINE!" I shouted angrily at him, glaring at him while still sawing through zombies. Another bullet-... Okay, that defies the laws of physics! Another bullet zoomed right at her chest, but because of the way her boobs jiggled, the bullet passed right in between them.
"A: boobs don't jiggle that fast, but I'll let it slide because she didn't get hurt. B: WATCH WHERE YOU'RE FUCKING SHOOTING!" I shouted at him again.
The perv-cam now focused on Rei's boobs, shockwaves going through them with each shot fired from the rifle. "Dammit! Fucking missed! Goddammit! Goddammit!" Takashi said cursing every time he missed, which was every time he shot.
Surprisingly, Kohta ran out of bullets before Takashi, who was spraying them everywhere. "The magazine!" He shouted. "I need someone to hand me another magazine!" He called.
"Kohta?" Alice asked, looking up at him.
"Like this one!" He said, showing her.
"Okay." She said, crawling around the (compared to her) giant vehicle, looking for one. Suddenly, Zero barked, showing the magazines beside him. "Here, Kohta!" She said, holding two out to him.
He looked down at her in slight shock, realizing he asked her to grab something he was going to use to kill. He took them and looked at the zombies with a new look of anger and determination. "I'll kill them all... I'LL KILL THEM ALL!" He shouted.
"Hey, that dog reminds me!" I thought getting a good idea putting my fingers up to my lips, but not actually in my mouth, whistling (true fact, I can't whistle with my fingers in my mouth. I think that's just something made up, only used in cartoons). Suddenly, like in Scorpion's intro in MK9, Cerberus rose from the ground in a burst of hellfire, smashing into and tearing through waves of zombies. "Good boy!" I called.
Inside the vehicle, Shizuka tried to start the car, but it wouldn't work. "What the!? I can't get the stupid engine to turn over!" She said. At that moment, Saya started to climb out of the HUMV. "Saya, what do you think you're doing?!" She demanded.
"I'll pick up Takashi's gun and use it!" Saya answered.
"It's too dangerous!" Shizuka told her.
Saya then turned back with a smug look on her face. "We're about to find out!" She said, bursting out of the vehicle.
"Shells are by your foot! You know how to use it?!" Kohta asked.
"I'm a genius!" She responded.
"You better be more help than hurt!" Damion snapped, slicing back and forth through the crowd, sheathing his sword and causing them all to fall apart.
"Vergil ain't got shit on you, brother." I told him, fist-bumping him with my free hand, still mowing through zombies with a chainsaw with the other.
"Saya!" Takashi called.
"Relax, I know what I'm doing." She said, looking at him.
"THAT'S... not what he meant." Damion, Aisu and I all said together, pointing. She turned her neck to look in front of her, seeing a zombie right in her face. She screamed and backed up, but luckily, Saeko rushed in and smashed the zombie before it could get her, but she was now covered in a strange yellow liquid because of her close proximity to the destruction. "Look at me! This is Dolce and Gabbana!" She snapped at the zombies.
"I don't think they care about high-price fashion brands right now!" I say, ditching the chainsaw and adding in little spins and tossing my sword from one hand to the other to give me more range, effectiveness, etc.
"Take that, you fashion-backwards douchebags!" She shouted, firing at them. "Ruining my new outfit! If you weren't already dead, I'd kill you!" She shouted as she continued to fire.
"Then kill them again!" Damion shouted.
"Wow, women are dangerous when fashion's on the line." Aisu said in slight fear as he watched her blast away zombies.
"You are aware the clothes weren't even yours, right?" Erika asked, looking at her while still firing ki blasts out of one hand to kill any zombies coming at her.
"You nasty, stinking, walking dead DIRTBAGS!" She screamed, continuing to shoot. The shell went into the air, allowing the scene to transition from day to afternoon.
*old war music plays*
We fought for hours... Even with 2 demons, 2 aliens, a giant 3-headed, fire-breathing dog from hell, 3 kids with guns and a sexy badass chick with a sword (albeit wooden), there seemed to be no end to the undead monsters. Even with our greatest attacks, it was like that one scene from Bruce Almighty when no matter how many prayers he answers, thousands more keep coming all at once. "Damn Japan and it's incredibly high population!" I said, jumping into the air and throwing down a giant fireball that incinerated everything in a 20 yard radius, taking a chunk out of their numbers, but not enough. Aisu and Erika even used giant blast attacks, killing hundreds at a time, but there were still more to replace them.
Damion sliced through one and dropped down on one knee, using the sword to hold himself up. "This isn't working." He panted, raising the sword and shooting another 6 getting too close to him.
"I've got a plan. I may not come back from it, so if I don't, make sure the humans stay alive." I told him.
"I'll do it. I promise." He said.
"And one more thing, don't let Aisu get near the girls." I added.
"Not cool, dude!" Aisu said.
With that, Cerberus and I turned and took off running through the crowd of zombies, lighting myself on fire so hot that anything within 10 feet of me would melt (except Cerberus because he's from hell and he can endure the heat), once I cleared a good distance, I began making as much noise as I possibly could to draw the zombie's attention towards us, Cerberus helping by howling loudly. At that moment, I saw Erika and Saeko coming after us, Erika firing ki blasts into the air and Saeko dragging her sword along the walls and banging it into metal poles to make even more noise, the zombies now coming after us while our friends retreated to the safety of the HUMV.
At the display I was putting on, Damion couldn't help but chuckle. "Sai, you may be a goofball, but you are one of the bravest AND craziest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing." He said.
There was a small silence before... "You know they're probably gonna die, right?" Aisu said. He was then the target of everyone's aggression.
"Sai! Erika! This way!" Saeko said, pointing to a tall staircase.
"That's our only option now!" Erika said, firing and retreating up the stairs.
"STAY OVER THERE!" I shouted at the zombies as they started climbing the staircase. I continued to shoot at them with 2 miniguns until the moment I ran out of ammo. "Deuces!" I shouted, jumping over the rail to where Saeko, Erika and Cerberus jumped to. We turned and looked back and, to our horror, the zombies started going back to where are friends were. "Oh, hell no! GET OVER HERE!" I said, throwing a giant stereo system blaring Party Rock Anthem to lure them back over and shooting at the ones still going towards our friends. Fortunately, the zombie army came towards us for the most part, only about a dozen going back to the HUMV, but still, a dozen while they all have no ammo and the only 2 who can fight them up close being too exhausted to do so, it was still a bad situation.
Kohta lifted Alice up on top of the HUMV with him. "Up yo go!" He said.
"Kohta?" She asked.
"You and Zero jump over the fence to get to the other side, okay?" He asked.
"But what about you?" She asked.
"We'll be right behind you." He said with fake happiness, trying to convince her it would be okay.
"That's a lie." She started, breaking his fake smile. "Daddy gave me the same look you just gave me when he died. He said it was okay, but he still died! No way! No way, I don't wanna be alone!" She started crying. "I wanna stay with you! Takashi, Sai, Damion, Aisu and all the girls! I wanna stay with you forever! Don't let me be alone! Please! Please!" She continued to cry.
Damion growled at this. Not at Alice, but at the zombies, threatening to destroy what little innocence she had left and take away that dream she had. "Fine then. You get your wish..." He said, opening up the door of the HUMV and slowly getting out.
"Are you fucking crazy?!" Aisu said.
"It's just a couple of them. Compared to what Sai and the otherse just did, this is no big deal." He said, shambling towards them, reloading the gun on the sword.
"Whatever, you ain't coming back in until they're gone." Aisu said, closing the door and locking it.
Damion glared at him for a moment, before he simply huffed. "That's fine. Shouldn't take too long." He said, rushing in, slicing through the first two, kicking another one in the head, x-ray revealing he broke one of the vertebra in the neck, causing an internal decapitation, grabbing the next closest one on the top of the head and smashing its face into the ground, spinning and slicing another one in half, then shooting another 6 in the face. That was 11, but there was one more and Damion had really overestimated that little second wind of his. He wasn't capable of taking down that last zombie. The last of his energy was SPENT. He could barely move. "Alright then. If I can't kill you, you're gonna kill yourself getting to me." He said, holding out the sword in front of him, knowing the zombie would be stupid enough to impale itself trying to get to him. However, just before the zombie could get within arm's reach of the vampire, a purple beam of death flew from behind him, hitting the zombie in the head and knocking it down.
He turned back to see the window of the HUMV rolled down and Aisu with his arm out the window with his pointer finger extended. He then gave Damion a small salute. "You're welcome!" He smirked. He then looked up quickly. "Uh-oh." He said, getting out of the HUMV and walking up to where Damion was, helping him to his feet and glaring at the enemy ahead.
Unfortunately, the gunshots had drawn away another small group of zombies and now both of them truly were in no position to fight them. All hope seemed lost, when suddenly... "Get the ladder! Get them out of there NOW!" A woman's voice called.
Suddenly, a bunch of hazmat looking guys ran in from nowhere, carrying something on their back, running up to the zombies near the wire, blasting them away with high pressured air. They then put up a ladder and began blasting the zombies away, getting our comrades safely over to the other side.
"Well, it's nice they're getting rescued, but come on! They decide NOW to rescue everyone after we ran through an entire horde!" I complained.
"It does make our initial sacrifice play seem useless." Erika agreed.
"Still, I wonder who they are." I wondered, looking closer at them.
"I don't think they're from the fire department." Saeko said.
Back with them...
Damion and Aisu were sitting (Damion) or leaning (Aisu) against a wall, trying to catch their breath and rest as the others were being checked for injuries and Shizuka was bowing to the person in charge. "Thank you so much for saving us from that situation." She said.
"Of course." The woman in charge said, taking off her helmet, revealing she had long, dark reddish-pink hair. "She's my daughter. What was I going to do, leave her to die?" She asked.
Back with us...
"Oh, she's Alice's mother? Looks like the same hair color." I said (seriously, her hair is the same color as Alice's, not Saya).
Back with them...
"Mommy!" Saya said happily, running and jumping up to her mother, hugging her and crying in her arms.
Back with us...
"Well, that would've been my second guess. Still, that's sweet." I said.
"Yeah. Makes me wish MY mother lived on this planet." Erika said.
And I'm glad she doesn't!
[Got that right. That woman is a living nightmare.]
"Yeah, mother's certainly would do anything for their child. My mother would actually try to save my life in a situation, my dad would just stand there, disappointed that I'd be getting killed by zombies of all things." I said.
"They're safe, but we're another story." Saeko said, looking down at the horde attacking my stereo.
"Yeah, that is a problem. That's a lot of zombies." I said, throwing a bunch of grenades at them and Cerberus breathed 3 streams of fire at them, which combined into a giant stream, causing a big explosion, finally destroying all of them.
"Well, now we can just fly back over to them." Erika said.
"No... It's too convenient for the plot..." I said dramatically stoic.
"Right. We'll have to find a way to Saya's house." Saeko said.
"Good idea. And luckily enough, we've got a ride now." I said, pulling out a blanket of soft gel, like what you put in your shoe, then I put a thin blanket over that and threw it onto Cerberus' back, securing it in place with a couple belts helping Saeko and Erika on, then jumping on his back jump behind his necks. "Let's go!" I said, getting Cerberus to rear onto his hind legs like you do with a horse, before we began barreling down the streets, killing any undead we passed along the way.
[Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'!]
