High school Of The Dead: Blacklight of the Dead

When the school was invaded by 'them' Takashi, Rei and Hisashi tried to escape with Hisashi being infected and died…but what if Takashi was bitten instead of Hisashi and instead of killing him, it changed him into something else…something more.

Hello and welcome to chapter five of HOTD: Blacklight of the Dead, I know it has been a while since I updated this story, and I would lie to apologies for that, I have been getting a lot of positive reviews for giving Saeko Powers, and I would like to say they are permanent and no I will not make the whole group have powers cause I don't think it would fit them like Saeko, who is a total badass.

Ps I am not stopping the story I am just having a hard time creating the new chapters, HOTD Blacklight will continue until the end.

So please enjoy Chapter Five…

Chapter V: Dead Infiltration

What I have done, can never be undone…nor can it be forgotten…because of me…Saeko…she was dying, she nearly died protecting me and there was nothing else I could do…so I turned her…I made her into something like me, a monster, a being that cannot die by conventional means, to walk this world absorbing and consuming any that stand in our way…

But in a way I feel happy about it…it may seem selfish but…I don't feel so lonely anymore…

Now we are monsters, inhuman and powerful, but we know we are not invincible if what my memories can tell, it seems that it takes another…monster…like us to kill us. Which makes me wonder…where is the other monster?

Three days later

The buildings lay dead and deserted as bodies lay scattered in the streets, there were small hobbles of 'them' in the streets as they feasted on the flesh of the once living, their teeth digging and gnawing on the deceased, it was strange that they seemed to stay in groups, almost like animals huddling together for protection and strength.

It would make people wonder if maybe they were running on some form of dormant animal instinct to guide they're decaying forms, to search and hunt for food. Then there were the changed ones, the were different from 'them' they were like a hive, they hunted in packs and swarms, the hunters would search for survivors and then consume them for strength, two figures darted across the roof tops as they landed stealthy on the roof opposite the street they stopped as they crouched near the edge and looked down to see the building adjacent to them.

Unlike the regular buildings around it was different form the others, a strange flesh like substance covered the outside of the building, huge red boils were seen on the outside as it pulsed and oozed red like blood. One of the figure eyes glowed red as his vision shifted, the world became orange and certain beings and sections glowed a brighter orange, a lone hunter, a huge bipedal like creature, it resembled a hairless gorilla with a canine like face, blackened claws and sharp razor like teeth, the creature looked around as if to smell something in the air, it picked up a scent as it darted from the roof and landed on the same roof as the two.

Only to find nothing…it was empty, confused the creature sniffed around as it began to search the rooftop for the scents it had smelled earlier, it stopped on a certain spot as if sniffed a small drop of blood.

Right before a hand burst from the ground and grabbed the creature by the face and pulled it to the ground, the creature roared in pain as it stumbled back from the hole, suddenly a shadow passed over it as it looked up just in time to dodge a blade to the face, the creature growled at the figure rearing its claws back in defense, the figure was a woman wearing a skintight cat suit with a leather corset around her chest with finger-less gloves and high heeled boots, her hair was tied into a ponytail on her head while her face was framed by triangle fringes.

Her right arm was changed into a black and red like arm, the arm was black with dark grey plated bone like armor running from the shoulder of the arm to the wrist and glowing red in between the cracks, a long thin black blade similar to a Katana was fused at the hand with tendrils of red running along the arm.

The creature roared as it charged at the girl, said girl only smirked as the beast came charging, as soon as it was within striking distance she jumped over the beast and slashed at the creature spine as it roared in pain. The beast lunged again as the girl dodged each strike, she then spun on her heel as she slashed at its face leaving a long slice on the monsters face.

As the creature held its face in pain the girl jumped onto the creatures back as she plunged the blade straight into the back of the monsters head as it roared in pain, it thrashed and stumbled around for a while before it fell to the ground dead.

Black and red tendrils formed around her arms as she slammed them into the creature and consumed the monster, when it was done all that was left was the large stain of blood left by the beast, the woman was then revealed to be Saeko Busujima as she relished in the thrill of the fight, it made her feel alive.

"Your getting stronger" a voice spoke as Saeko smiled to herself as she turned to face the voice, "Well I have you to thank for that Takashi" she said as she was meet with her one true love Takashi Komuro, the new codename: Zeus, he smiled as he walked over to her as he inspected the scene.

"Well to be fair you were already good with a blade…I just made you better" he said as she chuckled at him, before gaining a serious look on his face he looked down at the flesh covered building.

"It's the same here…more flesh covered buildings, just like new york and the other areas here" he said as Saeko nodded.

"Which means the convoy won't be able to go this way when its time…we should report back to lord Takagi" she said as Takashi nodded.

"Agreed lets go" he said as they both ran and jumped across the rooftops.

Later at the Takagi Manor

"Are you sure" Don Takagi said as he looked a the super powered being in front of him, after the assault on his compound he had allowed the two some limited freedom, only if they would venture out into the city to look for supplies and survivors, and even a route to move the convoy, in doing this Takashi took Saeko out of prying eyes so that she can learn to control and master her powers, so far her default power was the long blade like weapon that they called 'Katana', so far she had a fair control over her strength but it seemed she was physically faster then Takashi, and was more adapt to using her gift…it was freighting to say the least.

Takashi nodded his head as pointed to the section of the map now circled in red, "More of these flesh covered buildings are popping up around the city, they seem to be like a hive for the new infected, its also where they're producing more of these 'Hunters' and 'Brawler' infected…it will only be a matter of time till we have no where else to go" he summarized as Takagi rubbed his forehead in frustration, the man sighed as he held his head in his hands.

"Things are not looking good, if this keeps up we are going to run out of breathing room quickly…its not safe here at the manor anymore since BLACKWATCH attacked and killed half my men, not to mention we are low on food and the men at the generators can't stay there forever…not with this many infected" he said as he looked over the reports.

Two days since the BLACKWATCH attack Don Takagi realized that the manor was no longer the safe place for survivors and refugees, with most of his men killed in action and the survivors starting to become anxious and afraid, tensions began to rise amongst them as whispers of mutiny circulating amongst the despite, and while his men and loyalists remained by his side he was weary none the less.

He knew that it was soon time to move the survivors away from the manor and find somewhere new to fortify, unfortunately for them there was an increase in the new infected sprouting all around the city, from what they could gather the new infected were centered at the high school across the river, the same high school Takashi became the thing that he is, when Takashi heard this he instantly began to suspect that he was the cause of the new infected, but for the moment he couldn't prove it and just suspected it was something else, but for the time being he had to focus on finding his family and get the heck out of the city.

"We need an exit strategy and we need it now…what if you send me here to clear out the infected and draw them away from the convoy" he said as he pointed to the most infected street leading from the back of the manor to the preschool, "while I distract them, you gather whatever you can and load it into the trucks and make it to the mall over here and fortify that position before we attempt to make it to the school " he said as he traced his finger from the mall to the school, Takagi nodded as he looked over the map "what about Miss Busujima? Will she not be with you?" he asked as he thought about the violet haired girl,

"She'll stay with the group incase any of 'them' try and attack, you'll need her there incase things go south" he said as the man nodded Takashi the pulled out a small phone like device with the BLACKWATCH symbol on it "I also need to check this out, incase BLACKWATCH try anything" he said as the man grew a grim face.

"Agreed…I'll notify the men and start the preparations we leave first thing tomorrow at 0800 dismissed" he said as the two nodded as the left the man to his own thoughts, he sighed as he drew from his draw a bottle of whisky and a glass cup and poured himself a glass "I am getting too old for this shit…" he said as he downed the glass of liquor.

Takashi's Group / 08:00 / 24 hours till evacuation

Takashi dodged as Saeko sent her Katana like appendage at Takashi as he parried soon with his larger blade as small sparks erupted from contact, Takashi spun around as he sent an over head slice at the girl only for her to duck and sweep her legs under his feet causing him to collapse to the ground, before he could get his bearings straight he rolled out of the way as she brought her blade down near his head.

The blade missed by an inch as it impaled the ground where his head had been, Saeko spun around to attack before her blade like appendage clashed against a black tendril like shield, he then bashed her away as she spun around in the air before landing in a crouched position as she grinned at her prey.

Before she could attack again the sound of clapping broke them from their fight as they looked to the side to see the rest of the team clapping at the two, minus Rei as she just glared at Saeko the entire time, Hisashi was the first to speak as the two walked over to them,

"That was pretty impressive" he said as their limbs morphed back to normal, Saeko's form changing into its Kimono form and out of the alluring cat suit from earlier,

"I still can't believe that you were able to…convert…Saeko into something like you, it's rather interesting" Takagi said as she carefully eyed the two, Takashi scratched the back of his head at this "yeah…to be truthful I only found out when I saw Saeko's memories" he said as the pinkette raised an eyebrow at the living weapon.

"Her memories…what does that mean?" she asked as Takashi sat down next to them, Saeko on his right as he grabbed a bottle of water before downing the drink.

"Well after Saeko was…shot…by that man her blood was absorbed into me and I saw her most recent memories, I think I can access a small portion of peoples memories if I absorb a small amount of blood, most likely their most recent memories, but if I consume them whole like the captain…I get all of his memory" he said as he looked at his glowing red and black tendril covered hand.

"That must be…disturbing" Kohta said as he thought about having someone else's memories inside your own head, Takashi nodded as the mans dying screams echoed in his mind "you have no idea…" he said darkly as he down the rest of the bottled water.

Hisashi held a sad look for his friend as he decided to change the atmosphere "well anyway what's the plan Takashi?" he asked as the others gathered around the teen, he then pulled out a map showing the areas marked in red,

"At 0800 hours tomorrow morning, Don Takagi has decided to move the survivors to the mall here" he said as he pointed to the mall.

"But at the moment It's too crowded for the convoy to move, that's why tomorrow I will draw the hoard over here and draw them away from you guys" he said as the group nodded at him, Takashi turned to face Saeko as she was about to argue against leaving him alone.

"I know that you'll want to come too Saeko, but I need you with the others incase they attack while I'm gone, Don Takagi has already agreed to this" he said as the woman nodded reluctantly, Rei on the other hand was against this.

"Are you insane? You can't take on that many by yourself and what if Busujima-sempai is not enough?" she asked as Saeko slightly glared at the girls lack of tack, Takashi shook his head.

"Saeko was already stronger then any of us before all this, now she is even stronger and she is advancing well enough to handle a Hunter by herself…she'll be fine" he said as he smiled at the girl he blushed and smiled in return, Rei glared at the couple while Hisashi had a troubled look on his face, Takashi then turned to the group as he began to prepare.

"Ok Kohta, Morita and Hisashi check the weapons and the Truck make sure they are ready for tomorrow, Takagi, Miss Shizuka, Yuuki and Rei help the Don's Men pack any medical supplies into the trucks and help with gathering the wounded on the evac trucks, Alice will have to stay with you lot until then, Saeko stay here and hold down the fort" he said as Takagi raised an eyebrow at the last order.

"Why is she holding down the fort…where are you going?" she asked as Takashi pulled out the phone one of the BLACKWATCH soldiers dropped in the battle.

"According to the memories I received and the phone, BLACKWATCH has a military base here…in the financial district…apparently they're experimenting on one of the infected there…I need to know what they are up to incase they try to attack us again" he said as he pocketed the device.

"While I do that Saeko will stay here and watch out for more and then call me on the device incase something goes wrong…worse case I can't answer shoot up a flare and I'll be right back" he said as he rolled up the map.

"I'll be back soon…good luck" was all he said before he jumped and flew across the buildings and jumped from roof to roof, while leaving behind concerned friends and lovers.

Later Takagi Manor Garage / 12:00 / 22 hours until evacuation

Kohta slid the bolt back on the rifle as he cleaned the inside of the barrel and dismantled the M1 rifle used by Rei, his job at the moment was to clean and maintain the guns used by the group for the big move tomorrow

Which meant that the guns and ammo had to be checked and maintained, luckily the Don had a bullet press and the necessary equipment for creating more bullets to use, it was times like this that he was grateful for the time he spent in America and the knowledge he retained there, it was part of the reason he had survived this long. As he was just putting the gun back together he heard the door open behind him and he turned to see Saya behind him.

"Takagi…can I help you?" he asked as the girl walked over to him and sat down next to him, she took a deep breath as she looked at the Otaku next to her.

"I…I want you to teach me how to shoot a gun" she said as the boy raised an eyebrow at the girl, he was certainly surprised at this, he didn't think that she would ever ask him for help.

"Umm…not that I'm trying to be rude Takagi but…why?" he asked as the girl took off her glasses to clean them before she placed them back on,

"At the moment…I haven't been useful against… 'Them'…and its really pissing me off…" she said in anger as she clenched her fits together, Kotha noticed this as he let the girl rage at her failures,

"But you…you have been more productive to the team then I have…even before Takashi got his powers you were killing them left and right, we wouldn't have made it out of the school if not for you, and now with Saeko having powers as well…I feel…weak" she said down trodden as she looked at her hands.

"I don't think your weak" Kohta said as she looked at him as he blushed slightly.

"We survived because of you too Saya…if you hadn't deduced how the infected move, where to go and what we needed to survive none of us would be here now…" he said as he continued his speech.

"And not too mention you help saved Saeko's life as well" he said as the girl raised an eyebrow at this hoping he would explain "if you hadn't found out all that info on the first infestation and the first…umm…super beings…Takashi might not have been able to save her life, he would have spiraled out of control and killed everyone…friend or foe" he said darkly as he thought about a enraged Takashi tearing into anyone that stood in his way.

"So don't think that of your self Saya…we all need you" he said as the girl instantly blushed and looked away

"D-d-don't say those kind of things you-you Gun Otaku!" she screamed out embarrassed as Kotha chuckled nervously at the girl, she still blushed as she looked in the other direction,

"So…could you still teach me?" she asked slightly embarrassed as the boy nodded as well,

"Yeah…no problem" he said as the two spent the rest of their time preparing for what is to come.

Group Bedroom / 14:50 / 20 hours 10 minutes until evacuation

Hisashi sat in silence as he looked over two photographs in his hand; the first photo was of him and his parents, his father one of the leading geneticists in the world and his mother a leading biologist of the GENTEK corporation, both highly respectable in their fields, during his childhood his parents had been given an offer to work on a top secret project in GENTEK and were promised an increase in their salary and funding for their individual research, no surprise that they took the offer, all his life since he could remember how hard his parents worked on the secret project, he had though that the work that his parents were doing was good and would benefit the world…

But now he knew the truth…they weren't creating a miracle cure or abolishing cancer, they were working on a biological weapon, a tool of war to be used against their enemies, something that now flowed in his friend's veins, turning him into a monster, while his parents did not create the virus, they still twisted it and changed it to the whim, making it more powerful then before, and because of them and the rest of GENTEK, the world was facing the god damn apocalypse…and his parents were right in the center of it all, with blood covered hands.

He then looked at the second photo; this one was a group photo of himself, Takashi and Rei, back when Takashi was still dating Rei and before the virus transformed him, but it was also during the time that Rei was cheating on him, an immense amount of guilt washed over him as he thought about all the lies and deceits that the two had done, and to their best friend as well, it was nerve wreaking.

When they first started to date Hisashi wanted to tell Takashi himself, so that there would be no bad blood between them, but Rei had said she would explain it to him and he wouldn't have to worry about it…obviously it was a lie…Takashi had only found out when he spotted them on a date, on the other side of the street, a bouquet of roses in one hand and a locket in the other.

The look on his face said it all…she didn't tell him…she betrayed him.

Hisashi sighed as he thought about his girlfriend, he loved her that he was sure of…but lately he was beginning to worry about her, she was acting more aggressive to Saeko and showing more affection to Takashi, while he would want to do anything in his power to make amends for what he did, he felt that trying to get Rei and Takashi back together would just cause more tension and distrust between them, not to mention how it would affect Saeko…she clearly loved the boy, more then enough to die for him, and him the same, something that Rei did not like in the least.

What he needed to do now was to keep Rei happy and to make sure that he stays on good terms with Takashi and Saeko…it would be hard, but he would try.

Takagi Manor rooftop / 20:00 / 14 hours until evacuation

Saeko stood on top of the rooftops as she looked out over the courtyard below, her kimono bellowing slightly in the night wind and rain, her body now soaked with the water that caressed her face, but she did not feel cold or wet, it as if she could no longer care about getting wet or feeling cold she wondered if this is what Takashi felt when he first turned, speaking of Takashi.

The night sky had began to set and Takashi had not returned, she had began to worry about him and while she had faith in his abilities, she could not stop the seed of worry and doubt that rested in her heart. But somehow she had this 'feeling' that he was all right and still alive, so for the time being she would do as he commanded and watch the fort.

Suddenly the sounds of a bus caught her attention as she turned her head in the direction of the noise and enhanced her vision, her eyes shifting to bright Red, as she zoomed in on the bus and she saw something that made even her blood boil.

"Koichi Shido…" she said darkly as tendrils crawled around her form.

Takagi Manor, Front Gate / 23:00 / 9 hours until evacuation

The white school bus pulled up to the gate as Shido instructed his students to do exactly as he instructed, using the female students already under his control he used them to get past the men guarding the outer defenses, it was hard work getting here, between the monsters and the dead he was lucky to have gotten out alive…of course he had to make a few sacrifices, out of the fifteen students left with him on the bus seven remained.

All died for the glory of the new utopia.

He knew that coming to Don Takagi would be a good idea, he knew his father was friends with the Don and he would use that to his advantage, what he did not know was that the Don was by no mean 'friends' with Senator Shido, but like the old saying goes, keep your friends close…and your enemies closer.

Shido grinned as he got out of the bus, the Don was the first one to meet him, the man still held a powerful look on his face as he grasped the man by the hand.

"Koichi Shido…I'm surprised to see you alive" he said as he saw the corrupt mans son, the teacher smiled like a snake as he shook the mans hand.

"Well I was lucky just to get here…" he said as they spoke under the arc way, "my students and I would appreciate it if we could stay here Don Takagi, we have been traveling for three days now and were just about to run out of fuel till we spotted your manor in the distance" he said as the man to his surprise shook his head.

"It will be short lived…we are evacuating the manor in 13 hours, whatever time you think you'll have won't last long, all we can do in the mean time is refuel you vehicle and have it ready to deploy" he said as Shido slightly shook in rage at this "understood Don Taka-"

"ARRRRRRRHHHHHHH"

We was cut off as he heard a yell coming at him, he turned his head in time to see one of his worst fears as Rei came running at him with her bayonet rifle, purely intent on running the man through the head, but had stopped just before she reached his neck.

Rei growled in anger as she held the tip of her blade to the mans neck, so far she was not having a good day, first Takashi and Saeko had gotten together and now shared the same powers, she hadn't gotten the chance to be alone with Takashi since his release with Busujima taking up most of his time and now her most hated teacher, the one who had used her as leverage against her own father, was now at their doorsteps begging for sanctuary.

So yeah…she was pissed.

"Of all the sniveling, conniving and pathetic creatures to survive this god damn apocalypse it had to be you…huh? Shido-sensei" she said with venom tripping off the honorific, Shido returned the glare as well despite the fact that the girl in front of him had a blade to his throat.

"I would have thought that you of all people would have died from something worse off then you…but I know you…you would sacrifice anyone of your precious students, just to save your snake like ass" she accused as the man seethed in anger, while Don Takagi watched on and debated if he should intervene.

Shido finally found his voice as he smirked back to the girl "My dear…you are obviously under a lot of stress and clearly delusional…as a highly respectable teacher I would never sacrifice any of my-"

"Then where are they?" a voice asked as he turned his head to the right and seethed in anger slightly at the faces of Hisashi, Saya, Morita and Yuuki glaring at him, Yuuki glaring the most "where are the rest of the group…because when we left you had fifteen other students with you…now there is only seven" Saya said as she observed the remaining members of Shido's group and disgust was evident on her face,

"And lets not forget that little stunt you tried to pull back at the school you tried to throw me to 'them' to save your own ass" she said as she glared at the teacher "not to mention how you left that other student to die so you could get away" she said as she glared at him, Koichi Shido turned to the Don in hopes that the man would help him, to save him from the impending fate…

He was wrong… all he saw was the anger and rage hidden behind his amber colored eyes, the man glared with the rage of fire as the man shook in fear "You are a despicable human being, not fit to walk among civilized men…take your corrupted students and leave my estate now!" he said as Shido began to panic at the though of being thrown back into the nightmare he so desperately tried to escape,

"Y-you can't! You can't do this to us!" he yelled as he raged at the man, he then pulled from his coat a service revolver that he had stolen from a dead cop and aimed it at Don "I WONT LET YOU!" was all he could say before a shadow passed over him…

And the gun was split in two as both pieces fell from his hands as a figure landed behind him, the gun powder from the sic bullets pouring onto the ground, a terrible thought accord to him as he turned to face the figure 'oh god…not him' he thought as he turned to face the figure, but what he saw was not Takashi as he initially feared, instead was Saeko Busujima as she held her fused 'Katana' power in her hands, his eyes widened in shock as he saw the tendrils swirl around her form and she glare into the mans eyes, glowing deep violet.

"I would advise that you listen to him…or I will cut off your…other gun," she said as every man in the area subconsciously covered his crotch.

'Scary~…' they thought.

But instead of fear a rather dark gleam appeared in his eyes as he saw the girl, 'I see…interesting' was all he thought as he smiled at the girl "as you wish" and escorted his students towards the bus as he eyed the girl one last time before driving away from the manor, dark thoughts stirring in his mind as he thought of the girl with bladed right hand.

'Very interesting'

Same time, Financial District, BLACKWATCH BLUE COMMAND, DELTA BASE / 23:00 / 9 hours until departure

In the center of the financial district surrounded by BLACKWATCH personal was Blue command, Delta Base, one of twelve command Centre's for BLACKWATCH personal and operations, it was also one of the staging and testing area for GENTEK'S Genetic research facilities, it was here that GENTEK whished to study the virus and somehow gain control over it, it was also where numerous experimentations took place, some illegal against the United Nations.

This was Takashi's destination as he landed silently on the rooftop adjacent from the Command Centre; he looked don to see BLACKWATCH soldiers, Military soldiers and few scientists, surrounded the base as they roamed around the base, Takashi narrowed his eyes as they glowed blood red and the world bathed in orange and glowed in brighter colors, he saw the turrets swivel and turn shooting at the occasional straggler that got to close to the base, he then noticed these strange machines at the entrance and inside the base,

"Now what do those do?" he asked himself as he eyed the strange machines, the machines were stationary and hung on a extending arm and a rotating head with Yellow lights attached to the sides of the head, he heard a roar as one of the hunters came charging at the base, the machine instantly making a noise as soon as it got close to the base, the turret instantly reducing the Hunter to pulverized meat, Takashi raised an eyebrow at this

"So…those machines detect infected…and the machine guns target the infected but only at a certain range…I'll need to sneak in somehow" he said as he thought of a way to get inside the base.

He hen jumped down until he landed in an empty alley way and began to make his way to the base, "Hey what are you doing here?" a voice said as he turned to see a member of the BLACKWATCH Division as he aimed his gun at the teen, until he recognized the teen

"SHIT PRIORITY TARGET!" he yelled out as he quickly unloaded round after round into Takashi, flinging him back against the wall until he collapsed seemingly dead, blood splattering the walls and pooling around his form, the rookie decided to make sure he was dead and shot him one last time in the head as the bullet buried itself into the kids skull.

After he was sure that he was dead his radio sparked to life "BLACK OP– 04 we heard gunfire is everything ok?" the captain asked at the other end of the radio, the rookie smirked as he answered the radio,

"Yes sir just took out priority Zeus, confirmed KIA" he said as chatter could be heard on the other end of the radio until the captain spoke again.

"Roger that BLACK OP – 04 hold your position until we arrive" he said as the rookie nodded.

"Roger that Captain" he said a she hefted the rifle onto his shoulder as he stood on top of a garbage can.

"Heh…todays my lucky da-GAWK!" was all he could say before three metallic claws punctured through his chest and he was flung in the air before his head smashed into the floor as red and black tendrils swarmed around his corpse and was absorbed into Takashi as he flexed his fingers as the memories rushed into him.

"Yeah…lucky" he said sarcastically as he looked at the blood stain, he then heard footsteps as he heard the mans squad make their way to him.

"Shit…so much for subtly" he said as he prepared to fight, but before he could tendrils swarmed around him as his appearance began to shift and change, when he looked down at himself he realized that those were not his own hands, they were someone else's, he then reached up to find that he was wearing the same type of mask that the man was just wearing,

"What the?" he said as he also realized that his voice was different, it was not his own…it was the man he just killed.

Looking ahead he saw the captain make his way over to him as a squad of BLACKWATCH troops followed him, "Robert Report, where is codename Zeus?" he asked as he searched the alleyway in hopes of seeing Takashi's body, only to find none

"Well? Where is he?" he asked as Takashi quickly thought in his feet.

"He…ah…he tricked me, made me think he was dead and then ran away when my back was turned…I think he was trying to sneak into the base sir" Takashi said flawlessly as the captain swore at this.

"Shit…it would be bad if he got into the base, especially with the experiment inside" he said as Takashi raised an eyebrow at this.

"Experiment…what experiment sir?" he asked as the Captain only shook his head "that is classified information son…report back to command on the double" he said as Takashi saluted him.

"Yes sir" he said as he walked away from the oblivious men as he began his mission into the Blue command.

As he reached the gate his heart beat began to quicken as he thought of a way to sneak pass the sensor, 'Just stay calm…just stay calm' he thought to himself as he walked closer and closer to the gates, unfortunately he stepped in too close and the sensor went off.

'Shit!' he thought as the men looked around for the source of the disturbance, he knew then that he would have to fight…

"ROWAR!"

A load roar was heard as Takashi spun around to see of infected come charging at the base, the men instantly opened fire as they tried their best to stop the pack.

"PUT THEM DOWN!" a man yelled as he fired at the hoard with a grenade launcher, obliterating any in his way, seeing the opportunity to slip in Takashi quickly maneuvered past the guard as he made his way pass the sensor and inside the base, and just as he got passed the sensor went silent as the last of the infected fell, Takashi was thanking whatever divine deity or force that had allowed for that perfectly timed distraction,

'Ok…now to see what they are up to' he thought to himself as he walked over to the door marked 'experiment room' he placed his finger against the scanner as he hoped to get inside.

No such luck as the door blared red and denied his access, 'Damn…looks like I need to find someone with the right…keys' he thought as he sent a pulse out with his senses, instantly the pulse returned as he turned to see a man dressed differently from the rest as he showed the rank of Major in his chest.

Takashi smirked at this 'perfect' he thought as he started to tail the man, he followed the man as he waited for the right moment to strike, as soon as they disappeared behind the ammo crates…he struck.

Acting quickly he grabbed the man and covered his mouth as he slammed his hand into the mans spine, killing him swiftly and silently as he quickly absorbed the body, memories rushing into his mind…

Memory - Major Jacob .B Riley

The major stood before a man with silver hair, blue eyes and a scar along the right side of his face with the rank of General stitched on to his uniform, "Major I don't need to remind you the significance of this experiment" he said as images of the infected flooded his mind.

"It is vital that this creature is studied and contained…if it got out…it could be disastrous…understood?" General Kane said as the man saluted the General "absolutely sir…if the creature does break containment what should I do?" he asked as a series of images showing bombs flooded his mind, along with the images of explosions.

"You know what to do" was all he said as the man nodded "understood"

Memory End

Takashi stumbled back as he reeled from the affects of the memory transfer, it still felt wrong to him, he then transformed into the Major and walked back to the door and this time opened.

GENTEK Research Laboratory, BLACKWATCH Division

Takashi made his way down the corridors of the base as he search for whatever it was that the major was trying to study, along the way he had to pass a few soldiers and scientists, in which he had to act like he was the Major and saluted them to keep up appearances.

'Where are you?' he thought to himself as he searched the base, he followed the marked floors until he came across an office marked with the Majors name, slipping inside he found the relatively clean office and a laptop placed directly on the desk.

Moving carefully Takashi made his way to the computer and accessed the files, thanks to the mans memories he knew how to bypass the security and passcodes placed on by the 'former' major and had access to most of the materials.

The rest it seemed was under GENTEK clearance that he had little to no access to, or the Major never seemed to care about, leaving that section alone for the time being he continued to search the laptop for anything else, troop deployments, weapons manifests, anything that could give him an edge of BLACKWATCH, nothing relevant as he sighed in frustration.

He then noticed a folder marked HUNTER and tried to access it but found he could not, it was GENTEK authority only, "Ok…what are you hiding?" he asked himself as he exited the room and began to follow the marked floor towards the HUNTER room, after a while of searching he came across a large observatory that overlooked a large room.

'This must be it; he thought as he walked into the room and looked out the window, and in the room was something that shocked Takashi to the core.

It was a large beast way bigger then the normal hunters that he fought before, its skin was darker almost a greyish earth like color, its face was more disfigured then the others and seemed to a sideways jaws.

Around the creature the scientists were conducting all forms of research as they prodded and harvested pieces of its DNA, the creature seemed to be in a state of comatose as it barley registered the scientists, but growled every once and a while.

"What the hell" was all he could say as the creature suddenly looked up and glared at Takashi, almost as if his presence angered him as the creature began to thrash around in its binds as the scientist began to panic.

"W-what the hell the creature I-its moving!" one of the scientists said as he backed away while another turned to the observation window.

"HIT THE SEDATIVES!" he yelled as the creature broke the first of its chains, followed by the second as it also ripped out the iv drops inserted into its skin.

"ITS TOO LATE! GET THE INCENDANARY TEAM IN HERE NOW!" another yelled as the creature unleashed a powerful roar as it swatted the scientists like flies, The Creature roared as it pounced form its place and slammed straight into the glass window, and slammed straight into Takashi as he was shot straight through the metallic wall and slammed outside into the courtyard.

As soon as he was outside Takashi's shape shift ability faded as he returned back to normal, the men instantly recognized him as they scrambled around to fight him.

"PRIOTIY TARGET!" the man yelled as all the men aimed at the teen, but before they could fire the Larger hunter pounced from the hole and charged at the teen, ignoring the bullets that did little damage to its flesh, Takashi dodged as the creature lunged at him with the intent to kill as the creature tried to slam him to the ground with its huge claws.

But Takashi dodged out of the way and rolled into a crouched position as he readied his huge blade ability, the creature snarled at the teen before it was blasted on the side of the face as smoke rolled off its face, it turned to face the annoyance as the soldiers had gotten one of the Tanks working and fired again at the beast, casing the beast to roll back from the force.

Takashi was about to use this chance to escape when the tank fired just near him as he was sent flying through the air and smacked against the pavement.

Dazed and confused he quickly got back on his feet as the Tank prepared to fire on him again, but before it could even fire a second shot the large beast smashed into the side of it and ripped the top half of the tank off and crushed the men inside the lower half followed by their screams of anguish.

The Hunter Leader then turned its attention back to Takashi as he roared at the teen, said teen raised his large blade at the beast and charged as well, the creature slammed its claws into Takashi but missed as he rolled out of the way and slashed at the creature back legs, the creature roared in anguish before it spun around and slammed its arm into Takashi and sent him flying backwards.

Takashi barley had time to adjust his landing as he stabbed the blade into the ground slowing his decent. He looked up and growled as his eyes glowed blood red and he charged at the beast, he dodged the creature and slashed it across the face and stomach causing the beast to stumble in pain, when it looked weak enough Takashi jumped onto its back and slammed his tendrils into the creature.

"Got you" he said as he began to absorb the creature, small amounts of its DNA entering Takashi as he grinned at the beast, when suddenly the tendrils stopped and were forced back into Takashi.

"What?!" was all he could say before the creature quickly grabbed Takashi off his back and threw him away causing him to fly through the air as he slammed into the building adjacent from the base.

Although dazed and confused slightly Takashi still managed to regain his balance just in time to see the creature sprinting away from the area, clearly the creature was too weak from the experiments and damaged by Takashi to continue its fight and had decided to flee from the area.

Which now left Takashi to face the BLACKWATCH Military by himself, a helicopter appeared before him as the spotlight reveled his location to the army.

"Shit…looks like I'm doing this the hard way" he said as he raised his blade to the helicopter, but just as he was about to attack his ears picked up a noise as he looked up into the sky and all he saw was flash of white light as everyone was bathed in its flash…

USS Submarine 'Alabama' / 23:30 / 10 minutes earlier / Atlantic Ocean

Deep below the Atlantic ocean the USS War Class Submarine 'Alabama' was resting in the bottom of the ocean as they waited for their orders, it had been four days since the infestation started and they had lost nearly all communication with US command, the men were anxious and afraid, they had heard over the radio of people coming back from the dead, and countries going silent which had put them and the rest of the military on edge.

The Captain of this vessel was worried as well, he knew that his men could not stay down here forever, but he also had his orders, he was to wait here and act according to protocol.

Suddenly an officer came up to him with a piece of paper which he read post haste…and he sighed at this.

"Damn it…so its come to this" he said as he moved his hand over to the intercom.

"Men…we just got our orders from the president of the united states…we are to launch a pre-emptive strike against the key targets and wipe out this infestation…load the war heads" he said as some of the men where stunned and shocked at this.

The captain and his first officer nodded to each other, they pulled from a suit case a card which was then broke in two and each officer out it into the machine, the case on the machine opened up on each end as the held their hands over the keys.

"This is really happening isn't it sir?" his first officer asked as the man nodded solemnly, "Yeah…" he said as they flipped the keys at the same time.

Outside the submarine six ports opened up as a series of missiles shot out of the holes and launched out of the water and headed to each of their designated targets.

"May god help us all…" he said as the missiles launched into the air.

Three of the missiles traveled towards Japan at break neck speed, three costal vessels docked at the border of Japanese waters opened fire on the missile successfully stopping two of the missiles, "Direct hit sir" an officer said as two of the signals disappeared from the radar.

"Vessel three take out your target…" the captain said on the intercom, but nothing happened as the final missile drew closer, "Vessel three? Vessel three, Vessel three do you copy take out that bogie…Vessel three?" he said again as he tired to get a response.

"Raggghhhh!" was all he heard as the noise echoed in the command ship and he knew…

Vessel Three was compromised...

"Oh my god" was he could say as the missile flew right past.

The missile unchallenged soared above Japan and exploded in a flash of light.

Back with Takashi / 23:40 / Financial District / Blue Command Delta

As the white light shone above the city Takashi held his hands over his eyes as the blast force slammed into him, when it was done he noticed something was off as the Helicopter started to spinning out of control and started to crash right towards Takashi.

"OH SHIT!" was all he could say as he ran away from the falling Helicopter just as it slammed onto the roof top and exploded in mass of twisted metal and fire.

He barley escaped in time as he rolled across the roof top, after he hit the side of an air-condition motor he regained his balance and looked at the flaming wreckage across from him, just as it fell of the side of the roof and plummeted to the street below.

Takashi looked around and noticed that every light in the city was dead and the night sky illuminated the roof tops, the rain subsided as he looked around.

"What the hell was that? What happened to the lights?" he asked himself as he saw the darkened streets, a thought accord to him as he pulled out the phone from his jackets and noticed that the phone was dead, he smacked the phone against he hand to see if it would work, nothing as he growled in anger and put the phone back in his jacket.

"Shit…what the hell was that…an EMP?" he asked himself as he looked over the edge and noticed a multitude of 'them' gathering around the wreckage chewing and eating into the survivors, he heard more gunfire as he looked over to see the base now under attack as the men were now defenseless with out the automated turrets.

"Shit things are getting really bad here…I better get back to the mansion" he said as he ran across the roof tops, but as he ran across the roof he noticed black smoke clouding the sky as he drew closer to the Manor and a terrible thought accord to him "oh no" he said as he ran faster then before and jumped to the highest building in the district.

And what he saw shocked him, bright orange flames glowing in the distance, the same area as the Manor and sounds of gunfire could be heard from where he stood, and to confirm his fears a bright red flare shot into the air as it sailed in the sky like a blood red star.

Instantly he sprinted as fast as he can as he desperately tried to get back to the Manor, where all his friends and the woman he loved were there…fighting for their lives.

"Hang on everyone I'm coming! Just hold on!" he yelled as he dashed across the roof hoping against all else…

That he wasn't too late.
