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.

Chapter VI: Fight of the living Dead

Things just went from bad to shit in a matter of seconds; it wasn't too long ago that I attempted to infiltrate a Blackwatch command facility in the hope of finding any useful data that could help us…

I didn't find anything that would remotely help us…Instead I found a leader class hunter and accidentally unleashed it onto the world…and if things couldn't get any worse some idiot decided to launch a missile straight at Japan.

Causing an electromagnetic pulse that fried every electronic system in the city, and now the Manor is being over run by them, I can see the flare from here and I'm trying to get back as fast as I can.

What the hell happened over there?

Earlier at the Takagi Manor / 23:30 / 10 minutes till detonation

Saeko gazed out as she watched Shido and the rest of his corrupted students hop back into the beat up school bus and drive away from the manor, it relieved her somewhat to see the man leave. But as he was leaving she noticed a strange glint in his eyes as he saw her, not like the one he gives to all the girls, ones of lust and desire for supple flesh and pleasure. It was something darker and more unnerving then the others, it was almost as if he liked he saw what she had become…and that caused her some concern.

Also the man had reacted differently from before when Takashi had threatened him with his powers, with her she noticed it was different like her new form intrigued him…

In the back of her mind a small voice told her she should have killed him when she had the chance, that in not doing so will undoubtedly cause nothing but trouble for her friends and her lover.

But she had gone against that instinct and let him live; enough blood had been spilled already. She soon felt a presence behind her as she turned to see Don Takagi walk up to her as he patted her shoulder.

"Thank you for the quick action against Shido-teme Busujima-san, I was never one to openly support his father given his shady reputation...and while I like to keep my enemies close, that rule no longer applies in this world" he said as the purple haired girl nodded.

"It was no problem Don Takagi-san, he is a thorn that I would gladly be rid of…but enough blood has been spilled here…" she said as the man nodded at this and looked back to the city.

"Has he come back yet?" he asked as Saeko shook her head at this, it was past the hour of when her beloved was meant to return to her. Sun would be up in a few hours and they had to get ready to leave the mansion as quickly as possible.

"No he has not, it concerns me that he has not contacted us on the emergency frequency…but I have faith in his abilities, he will return" she said as the Don smiled slightly at the commitment of the evolved samurai.

"I'll leave you the porch until your ready, good evening Busujima-san" the man said with a bow before being returned by Saeko.

"Ariagato Don Takagi-san" she said as the man soon left her alone with her thoughts. Saeko stared out into the city as she thought of her beloved other. She raised her hand slightly as she watched the tendrils dance and swarm around her fingertips.

Their integrate dance allured her and brought her a sense of calm as she watched the biomass swirl around under her fingertips at her command.

It was still a strange and curious feeling for her, being part of a new species, to be able to create powerful weapons from any section of her own body with merely a thought, it struck her as both intrigued and frightful.

She remembered the night she drew the would-be molester into her snare and then brutally beating him to a bloody pulp with her training Bokken. It was an exhilarating rush of excitement and pleasure, one that had haunted her for most of her high school life. The unwavering fear of one day losing the control she had set her self in order not to become a violent killer and psychopath, to become the very sickness she despised…

And then the apocalypse happened.

The dead came back to life and she was allowed to let loose her deepest desires, to unleash her weapon unchallenged, to end a life without remorse or regret in the name of survival…it thrilled her.

But as she killed more of 'them', the more she feared that she would be enveloped by the dark pleasures of her soul, to truly lose herself in the blood lust and be denied the one thing more important to her then the thrill of violence.

Love

Ever since the incident years ago she believed that she was no longer allowed to feel such an emotion, at lest not with her hands and soul severely stained with blood and twisted in darkness, who would want someone like that?

From the moment the apocalypse happened she had resided to her fate that one day she would be alone, to fight alone and to die alone surrounded by her enemies in a sea of blood and death and then know no more. But that all changed with the arrival of him, the one person on this earth who saw past her darkness and shared his own.

Takashi Komuro, he had seen the darkest of her soul and saw past it. He saw her as a beautiful woman who needed love, and in a way so did he.

That night at the temple she opened her heart and soul to him, and he accepted her being darkness and all. And she knew from that point onward, she would never leave his side, even as he became a monster in the process.

She had already proved the depths of her love as she attempted to protect him from Blackwatch, nearly dying in the process. And he proved his when he saved her by making her into something like him, something more then human…and she loved him all for it.

They both shared the darkness together…and they wouldn't have it any other way. As Saeko continued to stare out on the porch she felt a presence behind her as she turned around behind her to see a face she was not expecting.

Meanwhile with the rest of the group / 5 minutes till detonation

Hisashi sighed heavily as he rested his head on the dining room table; today had been in his mind very stressful as the weight of leadership hung on his shoulders, and the fatigue began to set in.

First off on his list: his best friend, Takashi Komuro, his best friend since childhood had been transformed into something you would expect to find in a science fiction novel, or a really fun videogame. And the reason he was this way was because he sacrificed himself to save him and his former girlfriend.

In all honesty he wished he had died that day instead of letting him become that, the guilt of that day still hung heavy on his conscious. At the moment Takashi had gone to investigate a nearby Blackwatch facility in hopes of finding some useful data. Bad part being that it had been past the time he was meant to return, and the convoy would be ready to move in a couple of hours, and the plan heavily relied on him causing a distraction.

If he wasn't here then the plan would fall to shit and they'd be dead in the water in less than five minutes. He only hoped that Takashi was safe and not in any kind of trouble…good luck with that.

Second on his list: Saeko Busujima, Takashi's new girlfriend, had like him been transformed into something similar to Takashi. The two had grown especially close ever since Takashi had been released from the Takagi manor basement and was allowed to walk the premises like a free man. Their new display of affection didn't matter much to him, he just wondered how far they were willing to take it? And how it would affect 'certain people' within the group who did not approve of the relationship.

Namely Rei

Also he could have sworn that one night he heard some rather strange noises in their private room at the other end of the manor, and then the next day he had noticed that Takashi and Saeko had a rather content look on their faces, as if they had just committed to something greater. Now this wouldn't actually be a problem, if it weren't for the fact that she had inadvertently started rivalry with his former girlfriend.

Which then brought him to the biggest issue on his list, Rei Miyamoto, Takashi's ex-girlfriend and now his girlfriend, lately she had began to act strangely since his release, as she seemed to follow Takashi everywhere and tried to gain some alone time with him. But found it difficult every time, as Saeko would flashed a set of claws behind her back to scare away the annoying girl, seems that those of the 'evolved' kind, tend to be very protective of their significant other.

It didn't help that his 'girlfriend', and he was seriously starting to doubt her loyalty, was so pinned on getting Takashi back that she had failed to notice that Takashi was actually happy not being with her at all.

But she didn't see that and continued to pine after him, in the hopes of rekindling the relationship she destroyed in the first place…good luck there.

And to top it all off Sourichiro Takagi was making every abled-bodied man, to load all of the supplies onto the convoy trucks and planned to move the whole group in a matter of hours…He was seriously glad he was only a temporary leader; he couldn't understand how Takashi could handle this kind of work.

"Penny for your thoughts?" a voice said as he turned his head to see Morita walk over to the grey haired, a bottle of beer in each hand as he nodded at the teen.

He was actually very glad that Morita had survived the initial invasion at the school, the three of them, him Takashi and Morita, had been friends for the longest amount of time, often hanging out together on the school roof and talking about their futures and their hidden fantasies.

In Morita's case seeing Saeko Busujima in a naked apron and thong, he marked that one off his list.

With Takashi gone, Morita was one of the only other guys, aside from Kohta, that he could actually talk to in a time like this. He smiled as he was handed the beverage and popped the top off.

"Thanks man…I don't know what to do, this whole Rei-Takashi-Saeko love triangle thing is really driving me up the wall" he gulped a small bit of the beverage before he faced the boy.

"And what's worse, Rei is suppose to be 'my girlfriend' and here she is trying to cheat on me behind my back…now I know how Takashi felt when she did this to him" he sighed as he banged his head on the oak table.

Morita patted the boy on the back as he sat next to him on the chair, "Yeah I hear ya man, I still don't know what you or Takashi ever saw in her…must have been her boobs" he drank to that as he leaned on the chair.

"Its shit like this that I didn't have a girlfriend till now" he said as Hisashi turned his head to peek out of his eyelids to stare at the boy.

"You didn't have a girlfriend till now, was because everyone thought you were a massive pervert" he rebutted as the boy physically deflated at that.

"Harsh dude…harsh…but listen I'm sure all of this will be sorted out soon" he got a questioning look from the boy as he raised his head off the table.

"Really? How is any of 'this' going to be sorted?" he asked as he pointed his arm out to the window as the city still burned in the night light.

"My best friend died saving my life and the life of the girl who basically ripped his heart out! And got transformed into something 'My Parents!' Helped to develop that pretty much caused The God Damn Fucking Apocalypse!"

"Not to mention everyone we have ever known is probably dead or walking around as one of those 'Things' eating more people! How will any of it be sorted Morita?!" he exploded to the boy as the boy merely shrugged his shoulders as he let his friend vent the anger he had held in this whole time.

"I don't know man, but if it happened before in New York, then it can happen here, we just need to have faith man…that's all we can do" he said as Hisashi just stared at the blond Mohawk boy for a brief moment before he sighed and patted the teen on the shoulder.

"Thanks man…this helped"

"Anytime man…anytime" the two just sat as they watched the burning of civilization as best as they could, a drink in one hand and their friend by their side. If Takashi were here, the three would be just like they were before the end of the world.

Friends

Shizuka then came into the room as she smiled to the boys "Oh hello boys, you guys having a nice drink?" she asked as they nodded.

"Yeah it really helps" Morita said as the blond nurse nodded at this as she turned to leave but stopped when Hisashi remembered something.

"By the way have any of you seen Rei? I haven't seen her since Takashi left" he asked as the blond buxom nurse placed a hand on her chin as she tried to remember where she saw the orange haired girl.

"Oh yes I have! She was on her way to see Saeko-san on the porch…but she didn't look very happy, I wonder why?"

Hisashi's eyes widened at this as he bolted off the chair "Damn it!" he cursed as he raced down the hallway. He was a fool he told himself as he realized that he should have been keeping an eye on the girl as he was afraid she was about to do something foolish.

And for some reason…he was right

Takagi Manor / Front Porch / Saeko Busujima / 3 minutes till detonation

Saeko was slightly confused as she looked at the person before as she continued to glare at her person, as if her glare alone could se the girl on fire, and that person was none other then Rei Miyamoto…Takashi's ex-girlfriend. The girl was glaring daggers at the girl as she slowly approached the kimono-clad girl.

"Miyamoto-san? How can I help you?" she asked, as the girl remained silent until she stopped directly in front of her, she just glared blankly into her eyes as Saeko remained calm and collected.

Finally after what seemed an eternity she spoke "We need to talk…About Takashi," she said as lighting flashed across the sky, she glared straight into the eyes of the Busujima whose welcoming demeanour was replaced with a curious one.

"Oh? And what is it about Takashi-kun that needs to be talked about?" she said cautiously but firmly as she studied the girls demeanor and posture.

Rei glared, as she looked to the girl "I want you to stay away from him, Takashi is my boyfriend not yours" she said as the samurai raised an eyebrow at this accusation.

"Excuse me?" Saeko said as she stared at the orange haired girl "If I'm not mistaken Miyamoto-san he is not your boyfriend anymore, not since you broke up with him ages ago After you cheated on him with his best friend" she rebutted putting more emphasis on the words After and best friend as the girl glared at Saeko.

"And I am also aware Miyamoto-san that you two once had a promise of marriage, but broke it off to be with his friend Hisashi-san, such acts I find most dishonorable" she said as Rei glared harder at the girl.

"Besides why would you want Takashi-kun if you are still with his friend? What has changed to make you want him back?" she asked as the girl crossed her arms and glared at the samurai.

"It is none of your concern, Takashi wa-IS my boyfriend not yours, we just had a slight…disagreement, but I'm finally ready to accept him back, and I don't want you anywhere near him, so back off or else!" she said as she glared at the girl, this however caused the Saeko to chuckle darkly at Rei.

"And what are you going to do about it?" Saeko questioned to the girl, tendrils swirling around her hand briefly.

"You are in no position to demand anything of me" she said as her fingers became elongated and clawed.

"You had abused his love and left him with no clear explanation as to how or why you separated, not to mention that you had gone behind his back and betrayed the trust he had with you, there is no one to blame but yourself" Rei clenched her fists as the girl went on.

"You have already hurt him once, I shall not allow that to happen again, besides he and I share a special bond, one so powerful that you can never even hope to attain it" she said as she looked at her changed hand restoring it to normal.

"Besides…" she said with a smirk, "He and I have already shared our bodies with each other…and he was most satisfied" she said with a slight grin as her memory replayed to their reunion after Takashi's release, That night there were no more boundaries between them, just unison of two souls.

Rei's eyes widened in shock, the very thought of them together in a lovers embrace infuriated her. Rei's shocked expression slowly twisted to anger and rage before she brought her hand back "YOU DIRTY SLUT!" she yelled as she brought her hand toward to girl as Saeko flexed her hand ready to catch the girls hand.

Right before a hand grasped hers stopping her from slapping the samurai girl in the face. Rei quickly turned her heated gaze to her right as she came face to face with her boyfriend.

Hisashi Igou, and he was not happy "Rei what the hell!" he yelled to the girl as the she quickly shook him off her arm.

"Stay out of this Hisashi! This doesn't concern you!"

"I think it does! God damn it Rei this is the Goddamn apocalypse! The last thing we need is for you to cause infighting amongst the group!" he argued back to his girlfriend.

"What has gotten into you? Why are you doing this Rei, please talk to me," he pleaded as he tried to place his hand on her shoulder, but she shook it off as she turned around and left the porch.

Hisashi sighed as he turned to Saeko "I'm sorry Senpai, I didn't notice that she snuck off until I was too late" he said as Saeko shook her head.

"Its all right Igou-san, you have enough to worry about…especially with her," she said as she gestured to the direction of the angry orange head.

"It's gotten worse, she is soul bent on getting Takashi back that I'm afraid she'll do something reckless" he said as he walked over and leaned on the railing.

"I'm starting to see why Takashi was so angry with her…she is not easy to deal with," he said as she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"You are doing fine Igou-san, just hold on" she said with a small smile as the boy only sighed and rubbed his face in frustration.

"Well at least we have some good news, Shizuka managed to get a hold of her friend Rika and were discussing what's been happening since the outbreak, most of the citizens were evacuated to the airport but only a few planes have managed to take off"

"She is planning to meet us somewhere in the city later to regroup and come up with something…maybe even find out what Gentek is planning" he then shook his head as he doubted her words.

"But I'm not even sure we can meet up in this hell hole, not with Rei being the way she is…" he then rubbed his face in frustration and looked up to the sky.

"…It can't get any worse can it?"

As if fate was proving him wrong a huge flash of light shone over the city as Saeko and Hisashi shielded their eyes from the light that blinded them. Then it was over as soon every light in the city and the manor shut down and they were left in the dark.

The two watched out of the city as small explosions sounded in the distance, and small orange lights shone in the desolate city.

"What the…" Hisashi said as he and Saeko turned to him as a grim expression on their faces.

At this moment Don Takagi burst through the door of his command center "What the hell was that!" he ordered as he walked towards hid new second in command.

"It was a nuke sir, blew right over the city, caused an electro-magnetic pulse, wiped out the entire electrical grid" he said as he tried to get his computer up and running. "All electronics are down…we have no power" he said as he hung his head.

Saya and the others soon made their way to the porch, while Hirano and Morita carried most of the weapons as the looked at the blacked city.

"What the heck just happened?" Saya asked as she got a look of confusion and clueless look from the others.

"No idea, but what ever that was just turned everything off, Shizuka was in the middle of talking to her friend when the phone just sparked and died" Yuuki said as Shiuzka nodded at this as she held up her phone that was now dead and lifeless.

Saya focused for a moment before she looked over to Kota "Hirano hand me that rifle" she ordered as Kotha nodded as he handed Rei's rifle with the ACOG scope.

She peered down the sight as she expected to see a small red dot, "I knew it…" she then handed the rifle to Rei.

"It was a nuke, it must have created an EMP, an electromagnetic pulse that fried everything with a circuit," she explained to the group.

"So what you're saying is that…"

"That's right all electronic devices are dead; phones, computers anything with a circuit is dead" Saya finished for Saeko.

"Not only that but the power plant will be dead as well, also cars with computer won't be able to run as well, unless they had EMP measure in place but I know that only a small percentage of them…most of them being military based" she said as she placed her on her chin.

"Can it be fixed?" a voice said as she turned to see her father and mother walking towards the group.

"We can get the cars working if we replaced the fragged parts, we maybe able to find undamaged cars that had sustained less damage from the blast…they should work if they don't have the computer chips in them" she told her father as he nodded to his daughter and turned to one of the soldiers.

"Do as she says and get them operational, we need those trucks working if we want to move the convoy" he ordered as the man nodded and left the others.

"Saya…I'm impressed that have managed to keep yourself calm and in control despite the situation…I'm proud of you," he said with a small smile as Saya was stunned before a smile came on her face.

"Daddy"

Suddenly Saeko heard a loud crash with her hearing as she turned to the source of the sound. Morita noticed as he went next to her "What is it senpai?" he asked as she focused her vision down the road. As she focused she saw the bus Shido and his students left in, the bus too had been affected by the blast and smashed straight into the barricade around the estate. Shido and his corrupted students were already crawling away, wounded but alive.

"Its Shido…he just smashed into the barricade" she then looked up slightly as a hoard of 'Them' came limping towards the manor "With an army of them on the way" she said as turned to the Don.

"They'll be here in less then a minute" she said s the man nodded and turned to the courtyard.

"The perimeter has been breached! All troops pull back to the estate and lock the main gates! We have fight on our hands!" he yelled as the men scrambled around to follow the large man's orders. Gunshots could soon be heard as one of the men on the perimeter came running in terror, only turning around to shoot at the infected.

"Close the gates!" Don Takagi ordered as the men quickly tried to close the large metal gates. Just as the last man got through the gate on of the infected latched on to him and bit into his shoulder. The man screamed in pain as the infected gnawed and ripped away at his clothes and flesh.

"Shit! One got in!" one of the gate keepers yelled out in panic as he was frozen in fear, as the infected turned to attack him, its head exploded in a splash of gore and brains as blood splattered the man.

He looked up in fear and shock and looked across the courtyard to see Kotha Hirano as he smirked smugly to the man while holding his rifle in a firing position. The message was clear…

'Told you I am the best'

"…Ok sorry I doubted him," the man muttered to himself as he could feel the chubby teen grinning darkly at him from across the manor.

Don Takagi smirked slightly at the shooting skill of Takashi's friend, "humph Takashi sure knows how to pick them," he said to himself as Kotha holstered the rifle to his side.

One of the attendants soon came over holding a black case in his hands as he presented it to the red haired woman "Commander, Madam I brought this over as requested" he said as the woman nodded and opened the case.

In no time at all she quickly threw off her scarf, ripped a split in her dress, which revealed a holster and drew out the intended items, a gun holster that strapped around her shoulders with the gun resting against her left rib cage. Kotha's vision was soon blocked as Saya held her arm over his eyes as he muttered "Mama", Morita and Hisashi had slight blushes on their faces while Alice looked confused and oblivious.

Saya blistered red as she looked at the surprisingly sexy pose that her mother just preformed "M-mother what the heck?" she asked the woman only smiled slightly as she turned back to the chest. She then drew out a Kiku Crest Luger P08 with an extendable barrel, removable stock and a drum like magazine.

"Here Saya use this" she said as he handed the gun to her daughter.

"W-wait Mother I can't use this…Wait a minute! When did you learn to use a gun in the first place?" she asked as the woman chuckled at this.

"When I was working on Wall Street I took the executive defence course" she said as most of the team in the area began to image the red haired woman dressed as a detective and armed with a sidearm.

"Hirano I trust you to teach her how to use it properly?" she asked as the boy shot his hand in the air and proclaimed that he would…after accidently calling her 'mama' for a few times.

Saeko turned to the gate as she flexed her hand slight that the bones could be heard, "I'll deal with the small fry, everyone else get inside and prepare…the big fish are going to come biting soon" she said as turned to Souichiro Takagi.

The man nodded as he pointed to his men, "Everyone barricade the stairwell and stay away from the courtyard…Busujima is about to demonstrate true swordsmanship" he said as he turned to the woman.

"Five minutes and then my men open fire on gate understood?" he said as she smirked slightly as she turned to face the hoard of 'them' that banged against the metal gates.

Saeko faced the hoard as she familiar feeling of bloodlust and violence coursed through her body, like a wave of pleasure.

With a simple command, red and black tendrils circulated her body as the Kimono shrunk and disappeared. Her body from her feet, wrists and to her neck was replaced as a skintight cat suit that covered her entire body, each place tightened and restrained as a black leather corset formed around her chest.

Her arms were soon covered in leather fingerless gloves that stretched to her bicep and metal plating formed along her arms. Followed soon after by high-heeled leather laced up boots that stopped at the midway of her thighs.

To complete the ensemble a single tendril swarmed up the back of her neck as her hair was soon tied in a high ponytail completing her transformation.

Some of the men had a slight nosebleed at the sight of the skintight suit, while some of the woman had some shocked looks on their faces. Hisashi, Morita and Kotha had slight nosebleeds, while Yuuki, Saya had stunned looks on their faces as Saya covered Alice's eyes from the scene.

Rei was glaring at the provocative suit, inwardly cursing her and accusing her of using her body to steal Takashi from her. Shizuka cover her hand to her mouth as a healthy blush formed on her face, Souichiro Takagi held a stone like face as he watched his sensei's daughter wear some form of provocative outfit.

'Beware of her fetish's Komuro-san, beware of her fetish's' he thought to himself as he felt sympathy for the boy as Yuriko looked rather amused at the girls choice of fashion.

Saeko raised her arm as the tendrils shifted and swirled as the familiar Katana grew from her fist, small bone like plating grew from her shoulder as it travelled down her arm and stopped at her wrist as it left a plated like armour along her arm.

With her powers activated the girl raised her blade as she waited patiently for the first move. The pounding of the gates rang louder and louder as the creatures banged against the Iron Gate. Loud creaks and strains could be heard as the hoard banged louder and louder against the only thing separating them from their meal.

And then it broke, as if the gates of hell themselves were unleashed upon them all.

As soon as the metal gates fell to the ground in loud bang, Saeko acted as she jumped from the stone railing and soared in the air for a brief moment, and then planted her high heeled boots into the face of one and rode his body like a surf board.

She quickly spun around so fast that the others barely saw her move, as three of the corpses were dissected in two, a geyser of blood shooting into the air as she smirked at the stunned faces of her friends. She then moved like a blade in the wind as she hacked and bisected each and everyone of them in a fast display of swings and slashes. Drops of blood raining down as each of the creature exploded in geysers of blood.

Ten more fell to her blade as a mountain of corpse began to pile at the gates of the Takagi manor. Her skill was like no other as she relentlessly and mercilessly killed the already deceased. Sourichiro smirked slight at her raw display of power, her skill with a blade had already exceeded his own, but combined with the strange powers of Takashi…she was an unstoppable force to be reckoned with.

Saeko amongst the carnage smirked slightly as she gazed around at the ones she had just put out of their misery; she looked down to the pitch-black blade that reflected the flicking light of the torches.

These normal dead were no challenge to her, even when she was human they were no match for her skill. A load yell was heard as she slowly looked up to see the mutated dead come running up the hell.

Bone like appendages scratching against the ground as they charged up the hill, some tripping over the dead as they ran towards the onna-bugeisha. She merely smirked as she raised her bladed arm, as the hoard got closer. She then dashed forward as soon as they got close to the gates, she sliced and diced as multiple limps through the air, followed by four tendrils that gathered the decaying corpses.

The blood and gore fuelling her powers as he eyes glowed blood red in the dark night. Soon however she began to feel the earth tremble under feet as she turned back to the gates as he eye's widened at the sight of two brawlers and three hunters come marching up the hill, along with a wave of undead. She knew that at her currently level she couldn't hold them off and keep the survivors from being killed. She knew that their only chance was too hold them off until Takashi returned.

She turned her head to the crowed as she spoke up "The bigger ones are coming, be ready and don't do anything foolish!" she said as Sourichiro nodded at this.

"Everyone with firearms line up And take defensive positions around the estate! Worse come to worse we'll use the dynamite and send them off to hell" he ordered as his men responded with a shout of support.

He then turned to his daughter as he set a powerful gaze to the pinkette "Saya if things get to complicated I want you take your friends and escape the estate" he ordered as she gasped slightly at this.

"Daddy…what-what are you saying?" she asked as the man refused to turn to her as he continued to look out onto the courtyard.

"Hirano" he said as the Otaku looked up at the tall man as he set his gaze on the first wave of 'them' that came charging up the hill. "Keep my daughter safe will you?" he asked not as the leader of an ultranationalist organisation.

But as a father trying to protect his only daughter, the boy nodded as he set his rifle on the rail guard and aimed at the infected "Yes sir" he said and fired. And with that the fighting began as the residents of the manor began to fight for their lives. Bullet casings littered the ground as the soldiers of the manor desperately tired to combat the wave of undead.

Hisashi and Morita fired at the hoard as Hisashi shot with his honey badger, spraying bullets into multiple amounts of them, while Morita fired his shotgun as he blasted back two of them at the same time, before he reloaded and fired on another that was about to attack his friends.

Hirano emptied a clip as Alice and Zeke ran from cover and handed the boy a fresh clip, he smiled to the girl as he took the clip and reloaded the gun and fired again at the undead. Yuuki and Shizuka were tying their best to stay out of cover as they managed to drag those who weren't infected to safety as Morita and Hisashi covered them.

All around them the fire began to spread as the dead knocked over the lanterns on the ground, the survivors in the camps screamed in fear and panic as the camp was overrun by the undead.

One of the women who intended to lead a coup against the Takagi head, tried to reason with the mindless beast, before she grabbed a meat cleaver and hacked the dead to pieces. But was soon overrun as her screams of insanity rang in the camp, she was foolish into thinking she could reason with those who had no reason…and she paid the price for it

Saeko charged head first into the fray as she slashed he blade against the stomach of one of the Juggernaut. The beast roared in pain as the thin black blade cut deeply into the creature's unprotected stomach.

The Juggernaut roared as it raised its arm up high in the air and brought the large fist down to the girl. Saeko rolled out of the way as large spikes tore through the ground, unintentionally spearing some of the dead and one of the hunters.

The hunter roared in pain as its life slowly ebbed away and it soon died and quickly decomposed in a matter of seconds, one less problem to deal with.

Saeko landed in a crouched position as she raised her left hand and morphed it into a second Katana as she charged at the beast, both blades scratching against the ground as she ducked under the beast's massive swing and sliced into the creatures leg.

The Juggernaut fell to the ground as it roared in pain, its brother hearing its pain lumbered towards the one who caused it pain and attacked the girl as she sped around the beast. Small cuts littering the beast as it tried to hit the moving samurai, Saeko on the other hand was desperately moving to avoid the beast from slamming her into the ground, as she only needed to distract them long enough for Takashi to return.

But in truth she didn't know how much longer she could last against the beast.

Hisashi noticed her struggling against the beasts as his hand went to the flare gun to signal Takashi. But as he went for the gun, a small petite hand grabbed the weapon from his belt and held it away from the boy. Hisashi turned around and saw the flare gun in the hands of the one person he feared would do something like this.

Rei Miyamoto

She glared as she held the flare gun away from the boy, the others soon turned to face her as she glared at the girl as she struggled against the beasts.

"Rei…" Hisashi said as he inched closer to the girl. "Give me the flare gun…we need to get Takashi here, Saeko needs help" he said but the girl raised her rifle to the boy as he and everyone backed away from the girl.

"No…no I won't Hisashi, Senpai can handle this, after all she is Takashi's favourite isn't she," she said as her eyes showed signs of madness.

"Rei she can't handle this, not by herself, she needs Takashi!"

"No she doesn't!" she yelled aimed again at her boyfriend, her finger hovering over the trigger as her eye twitched in madness.

"Rei this is no time for this! We need Takashi! Stop this madness!" Saya yelled as this time Rei pointed to the rifle to her, Hirano instantly standing in front of her as he attempted to shield her from the mad girl.

"Stay out of this Takagi! This is between me and Senpai!" she yelled as the group circled he, the flare gun hanging off her belt as she aimed her gun at the others.

"I just need to wait a little longer, until that bitch can't take it anymore, then I'll call Takashi" she said almost possessively as her left hand clutched the flare gun off her hip. Hisashi was silently cursing himself as he should have seen this coming, he was always afraid that her jealousy would eventually rears its ugly head at some point. He just didn't think it would be this soon.

"Rei this is serious! She needs Takashi!"

"I NEED TAKASHI! NOT THAT BITCH!" she yelled aloud as it caused the group to back off slightly at the girls outburst.

"Takashi IS my Boyfriend! Not hers! He has always been mine! Ever since we were kids, Takashi has and always will be mine!" she yelled as she raised the gun at the group.

"AND I WON'T LET ANYONE TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME-!"

But before she could even react, Saya managed to sneak up on her left and punch her straight in the face; the orange haired girl collided with the floor as her rifle flew out of her hands and landed at Shizuka's feet.

"Oh shut up you moron!" Saya quickly said as she grabbed the flare gun off Rei's belt and threw the gun to Hirano as he managed to grab the distress weapon.

"Hisashi! Morita! Restrain her!" Saya ordered as the two teens nodded and quickly retrained the girl, even as she kicked and screamed at them to let her go. But the didn't as the managed to get some rope and bound her hands and feet together.

"Take her to the Humvee and lock her inside! We can deal with her later!" Saya ordered as the two dragged the screaming girl away, swearing bloody vengeance on all who got in her way of her love.

"Hirano shoot the flare, we need back up!" she said as the otaku nodded and aimed the flare gun up into the air and fired.

The flare shot up high into the air as it baled over the manor like a blood red star in the sky, the fire combined with the flares glowing red light made the courtyard seem as if it were plunged into the pits of hell itself.

Saeko for a brief moment looked up at flare as it soared high into the sky, a strange feeling of hope rushing through her as she thought of her beloved Takashi…

Right before she was blasted away by a giant fist that sent her tumbling across the courtyard, due to the velocity of the hit she crashed right into the side of the garden wall as she spat out a small drop of blood from her lips.

Looking up she glared as one of the Juggernauts roared at the girl as she to raised her blades to the mindless beast. She roared in anger as she dashed across the field, the wind circulating around her as she jumped high into the air. She then came crashing down as she plunged both blades into the Juggernauts head, the pitch-black blades puncturing deep into its brain. The beast roared and hollowed as she continued to stab and plunge the blades deeper and deeper into the creature's skull.

Until it could take no more and fell to the ground, dead as a doorknob, four tendrils formed out of her back as she quickly absorbed the creature's essence. And just like Takashi she gained a new power, but before she could use it the second Juggernaut slammed her into ground.

The beast roared in anger before it threw the girl across the courtyard, once again slamming into the courtyard wall, the girl struggled to stand as she glared at the hoard of undead, still defiant till the end. But unfortunately she was already low on strength from the last hit she took, and she could not form her new powers or form the katana power, she was done for.

'Takashi-kun…I'm sorry…I'm done or…' she said to herself as the hoard began to lunge at the girl, the world slowed down as the beast lunged into the air, set on killing the evolved girl.

The group screamed at her to move but could do nothing as the girl closed her eyes and was ready to accept her fate.

BOOM!

Suddenly a loud boom was heard as something landed directly in the center of the courtyard, a thick blanket of dust covered the area, obscuring all from site. The infected turned as they saw in the dust piercing red eyes, as a flash of metal was seen in the dust. And then shooting out of the dust cloud was a long tendril like arm, with multiple small blades shot out of the dust and latched itself onto the juggernauts head and ripped the head clean off its body.

The whip like fist then grabbed one of the hunters as it then flung the creature around like a rag doll, slamming the beast into the last hunter before killing them quickly and effectively. The dust still covering soon shot out multiple tendrils as each and everyone of the last infected, were snatched up by the tendrils and drawn back into the dust cloud, a huge geyser of blood soon followed as the area was now clear and silent.

A loud cheer was heard as the survivor praised their savior, Morita cheered as shot his hands into the air "WHOO WE MADE IT! WAY TO GO TAKASHI!" he yelled as the dust began to settle. But the cheer instantly died down as the dust began to settle as the group gasped in shock, the high school survivors epically as the saw the figure in the dust cloud.

"…That's not Takashi…" Saya said as the dust departed to reveal a new person, he was tall with a strong build and a shaved head, he was wearing a black jacket with a dark hoodie with the inside red, a pair of cargo pants and black combat boots and a pair of fingerless gloves.

The man turned his face around to glare at Saeko, as his right arm was transformed into a large butcher like blade as he pointed the blade at the girl. "I'm only going to ask you this once…" he began as the fire from the courtyard revealed a dark-skinned man as his eyes glowed red and he said to the world.

"Where the fuck is Alex Mercer!" screamed Sgt. James Heller, as his eyes blazed red.
