Ross was running all over the school from floor to floor, 'they' were nothing to him but trash. Trash that could easily be destroyed by pure lightning.
"Get out of my way!" Ross yelled as he took out more of 'them' with his lightning volt. He started to slow down as he felt his energy draining.
"Darn, Looks like my lightning dash ability takes more energy out of me with each step I take. Although that's understandable" He said as he panted trying to catch his breath. He then took off the bag and wooden sword that were on his back and dropped them to the floor.
As both the items hit the floor, Ross's wooden sword made a crack as it hit.
"Aw crap!" he said as he bent down to pick it up. As he touched the handgrip, He saw something shine at the hilt. Ross raised an eyebrow as he picked up his wooden sword only to find out that the wooden blade had came off reviling a real stainless steel blade with a thorn vine that was engraved into the blade from the hilt all the way up to the swords tip.
"What the-, Ok now this is different" Ross said as he examined the beautiful sword. Just then he heard what sounded like footsteps.
Ross quickly grabbed the false wooden blade from the ground as he sheathed his new weapon. Just as he placed his sword to his right side a group of students and a teacher came from the side of the hallway.
Ross tilted his head at them.
'Who are those guys?' he thought.
The group then noticed him as they ran over, they panted as the teacher of the group of students walked forward. Ross then suddenly knew the teacher was none other than the infamous Shido Koichi.
Rei had told Ross all about Shido and his ways. Like how he had held her back a year Becuase her father was investigating his father about something. Not that big of a deal to hold a student back a year for something that she had nothing to do with.
But what made Ross uneasy about Shido was how he had heard how he would tell his students some stupid crap and how they would praise and worship him like he was freaking Jesus.
Shido fixed his glasses as he gave Ross a smile that would make the devil blush.
"Ah! Mr. Hikatori, Are we ever so glad to have bumped into you" Shido said, Ross then glanced at the students that were with him. He saw one boy with orange hair like his but it was spiky. Two other boys that looked average, One girl with glasses, And...
"Yuuki" Ross said.
Yuuki quickly popped her head to the side as a wide smile came to her face.
"Ross!" Yuuki said as she walked over to him only to be stopped by Shido. Ross wasn't going to let Yuuki be a part of Shido's group, He would rather cut off his own fingers then let her be a puppet for him to play with.
"I'm sorry Ms. Miku, But we can't let outsiders that are not in the group interact with other students" Shido said, Yuuki looked at Ross with hope in her eyes. The only reason that she joined up with Shido's group was so that she could only find Ross.
Shido then glanced at Ross.
"However, If Mr. Hikatori is willing to join us? Then the two of you may interact with one another". Yuuki didn't take her eyes off Ross.
"Please Ross" Yuuki pleaded.
Ross then walked over to her and pecked her on the cheek.
"Sorry Yuuki, But I don't trust this guy" He whispered as Yuuki looked at him with a bit of shock.
"B-but Ross" Yuuki said stuttered.
Ross simply placed his fingers on her lips.
"I promise will meet again, And when we do. I'm getting you out of here with my friends as well" he whispered as he then turned around to see Shido try his best to hide his glare at him.
Shido then placed a hand on Ross's Shoulder "Well Mr. Hikatori, what do you say?" he said.
Ross simply took Shido's hand off him.
"No thanks, I think I'd rather go hang out with my undead friends" he said as he grabbed his bag and ran off leaving a furious teacher in the dust. Shido quickly gained his senses as he then turned to his group.
"Come my students, Let us escape this nightmare!" he said as they all ran another way, Yuuki kept turning her head as she watched Ross run down the other way.
"Ross, Please be safe" Yuuki whispered.
-the nurses office-
"This is isn't good...neither the police nor fire fighters are picking up, Even after being treated. Everyone who gets bitten dies, And then those who are bitten come back as the living dead. This is just like a Romero film" Shizuka said.
As she was thinking a student was busy taking care of former friend.
"Is this really the time for that!? We have to get out of here miss Shizuka!" the student said.
Shizuka then ran over to some cabinets as she placed some medical supplies in her purse "Hold on, I want to take everything I can carry" she said.
"Please hurry!" the student said, As he was about to end his friend as horde of 'them' came through the window and grabbed him. One of 'them' sunk it's teeth into the students arm.
"Agh! Gah! Miss Shizuka! Hurry, Run away!" the student pleaded. However Shizuka couldn't move for she was in shock.
"Err...ah...uh...what did you say your name was again?" She stuttered. The student couldn't reply as 'they' were mauling on him, The ones that weren't started coming after Shizuka.
"Ah! W...Wait...", Shizuka then closed her eyes as she accepted her fate. However, Nothing happened.
"Huh?" Shizuka said as she opened her eyes to see all of 'them' defeated by a girl who wielded a wooden sword in her right hand.
Saeko walked over to the student as she kneeled to him.
"I'm the captain of the kendo team, Saeko Busujima. What's your name second year?" she said.
The student coughed up blood before speaking "Kazu...Ishii" he said.
"Ishii, You did well in protecting miss Marikawa. I admire your courage. But you know what happens to those who are bitten, Don't you?" she asked him.
Kazu only nodded.
"Do you want your friends and family to see you like that? I've never killed anyone before...But I will help you" she said.
Kazu only closed his eyes and smiled "P...please just do it..." he said.
Saeko stood up as she held her weapon above her head only to be interrupted by Shizuka.
"What!...Wait! What are you..." Saeko held her hand in front of her. "I know you are a nurse, But I'll ask you not to interfere" she said as she raised her wooden sword.
"Protecting a man's pride...is a woman's duty".
Smash!
-meanwhile-
Ross was running around the school as he tried to find his friends.
"Darn it! Were could they be?" he said as he saw some of 'them' roaming the halls. Ross then placed his left hand on the handgrip of his fake wooden sword and pulled it out of it's sheath as he then started to slash at 'them'.
Since Ross taught himself how to handle a sword, Cutting threw 'them' was nothing.
"Well this is too easy, But I can't relax just yet. My friends are my top priority" he said as he then held his katana in his right hand backwards and charged up his left hand with lighting.
"Besides, I'm not going to make the same again!".
-elsewhere-
Kohta opened a door that lead to the workshop.
"Takagi, There's nobody here" he said only to be pushed out of the way by Saya.
"Hey! Get out of the way!" Saya said as she marched inside.
Kohta got up and walked over to her.
"What exactly do you want in here? There are plenty of things we could use as weapons in here, But...I think we should figure out what's going on first".
Saya just ignored him.
"Just keep your mouth shut fatass! Fix the door shut so nobody can get in!" she said, Kohta quickly closed the door and locked it up.
"I already locked it!" he said.
Saya then placed some tools on the table.
"A-are we going to use those as weapons?" he asked.
Saya looked at him "Aren't you one of those basement dwelling military gun freaks? You've seen lethal weapon 2 right? Do you know what this is?" she said.
Kohta picked up one of the tools "A nail gun, Gas powered" he said.
"Well duh! It's not like we'd be able to take it with us if it was an air powered one like in the movie!" she said.
"Do you like movies?" Kohta asked her as he got to work, Saya quickly snapped back at him "Don't be stupid! I'm a genius so I know everything!" she said.
That's when they heard 'them' banging on the door.
Kohta smiled as he was working "There's one spare can of gas. As for nails...no worries there" he said happily. Saya then started to get impatient "What are you so happy about!?" she said "There're all crowding in the hallway!".
Kohta however was in his own little world.
"It weighs about 4 kilograms. It feels about like an old rifle. Not sure about stability though" he said.
"Hey! Are you even listening to me!?" Saya said. Suddenly the door burst open as 'they' came inside.
"H-hirano!" Saya said as 'they' came closer. As 'they' got close to them Kohta then shot three of 'them' with his now hand made gun.
"Got them" Kohta said with a maddening grin.
"Hirano!?" Saya said a bit surprised at his sudden personality change.
Kohta was taking down one after one of 'them' with his weapon "Put the drill, nails, And gas in a bag. Oh, And the toolbox too" he said. Saya just looked at him "Who do you think you are giving orders to me!?" she said.
Kohta killed the last of 'them' "If you...would be so kind" he said.
Saya just looked at him as she sighed "O...okay, Fine" she said as she looked at the window to see water coming down. Kohta then started to panic a bit "Is the school on fire!?" he said as Saya ran past him who cares! Let's just get out of here!" she said as they ran down the hallway.
-rooftop-
Takashi and Rei were fighting 'them' with the water hose.
"Man, It was good thinking to use the fire hose" Takashi said.
Rei smiled at him "Well it sprays water at an extremely high pressure. Don't you remember when the firefighter came to our class in middle school and taught us that?" she said, Takashi smirked "Kinda, But I'll definitely remember now" he said as they both walked down the stairs.
"Let's go, It's going well so far" Takashi said "It'll be difficult inside, Let's not get ahead of ourselves".
Rei nodded as she passed him his bat as they went to the lower floors to go find Ross.
-meanwhile with Kohta and Saya-
Saya was damping a cloth in some water as Kohta watched her.
"What are you doing?" he asked her.
"Shut up and watch" she snapped as she threw the wet cloth at one of 'them'. The zombie didn't react to the cloth that was thrown at him. Saya then threw the cloth at the locker as it made a sound, The zombie then reacted to the sound as it went to the locker.
"Did you see that? He didn't react when it hit him in the head, They don't feel. They only react to sound. They seem to be blind as well, Other wise he wouldn't have run into the locker like that" she said.
Kohta then pondered something "As for reactions to heat?".
Saya shook her head "I'd rather not test that out right now. Let's go" she said.
-meanwhile with Saeko and Shizuka-
Saeko and Shizuka were going down the hallway as Saeko was fighting 'them' one by one.
"The faculty room...this is getting tiresome" Saeko said.
"But we'll be able to get away in a car, That's where everyone's keys are" Shizuka said.
One of 'them' came at Saeko's right side as she swated the zombie away with her wooden sword.
"Why aren't you finishing them off? That should be simple for you Busujima" Shizuka said.
"I'd have to stop moving to take the time to crush there heads. We'd be surrounded in no time" she said "Plus, They have incredible physical strength! If they were to grab us, It would be difficult to get away".
"Wow! Your amazing!" Shizuka said.
The two kept running until Shizuka tripped.
"Ahhhh! What's wrong with me?" Shizuka said as she rubbed her head. Saeko kneeled next to her as she grabbed her skirt, "This clothing isn't suited for running" she said as she ripped her skirt.
"Ahh! This is prada!" Shizuka cried.
"What's more important, A brand or your life?" Saeko asked her.
"Both!".
Saeko then looked down the hall "The faculty was it?" she said.
-meanwhile-
"This is no time for you to show off!" Saya said.
Kohta kept shooting more of 'them' down "Takagi, Could you help me fight them off?" he asked.
Saya just looked at him "Why should I!?" she said.
"My magazine is almost empty" he said.
"So what!? Just reload quickly!" she said.
That's when Kohta saw one of 'them' "B-but behind you" he stuttered. Saya turned around to see one of 'them' right behind her.
"Ahhhh!".
Everyone heard her scream as they all headed to the source.
-Elsewhere-
Ross was walking down the hall as he was catching his breath.
"Dammit...I need to find-".
"Ahhhh!".
"That scream?".
That's when he realized who it belonged to.
"SAYA!".
He then started to run down the hall.
As one of 'them' was about to eat her Saya backed up to a wall.
"Get away...get away" she said, She then reached for the bag as she pulled out a drill "Don't...come any closer!" she said as she plunged the drill into the zombies head.
Everyone all came to see Saya trying to defend herself from one of 'them'.
"Die you piece of shit! Die! Die!" she yelled as she was still drilling the zombie.
"SAYA!".
That's when everyone saw Ross run toward them as he was killing 'them' left and right.
'Ross!' everyone thought as they were all relived to see that he was alright, However some of them saw a blue light in his left hand. Ross was enraged as he charged up his left hand as it started to turn red as his speed increased more.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING HURT HER!" Ross roared as he then slammed his left hand into the zombies face as it hit the wall hard causing cracks. Everyone was in utter shock at what Ross had just done minus Kohta and Shizuka. Ross then proceeded to stab into the zombies head with his katana over and over again as his eyes went bright yellow and his hair started to get longer.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Your gonna die! Your all gonna die! I'll fight every last one of you! And kill you a millions times over!" Ross yelled as he kept stabbing the zombie in it's now destroyed head.
Everyone just watched there friend as he kept bashing the zombie repeatedly.
"Ross! Stop it!" Rei said as she grabbed him by the waist trying to calm him down. "Ross! It's over! You killed it! Just stop!" she said, Ross just kept stabbing the dead zombie as he then charged up his right hand with red lightning.
"Lightning volt!" he yelled as he punched the zombie in the chest, Rei gasped at what she just saw.
'H-how did he?...Did he just create lightning from his bare hand?!' she thought.
Ross panted as he started to calm down, His hair and eyes reverting back to normal. Rei backed away from him as Ross got to his feet. He turned around to face his friends.
"Is...is everyone alright?" Ross asked.
Everyone nodded still a bit shaken up by what they had just saw Ross do. Ross then looked over a Saya who looked shellshocked.
"Saya!" Ross said as he ran over to her and placed his hands on her shoulders "Are you ok? Are you hurt?" he asked her. She didn't respond as he then stood up.
'She must still be in shock from being attacked' he thought, That's when he felt someone's hand on his shoulder.
"Are you alright Ross?" Shizuka asked him with a concerned look.
Ross nodded at her "Yea Shizuka, I'm just fine" he said with a smile, Shizuka was relieved to hear that.
"You know miss Shizuka?" Saeko asked.
"Yup, In fact I'm happy to see that all my friends are ok" he said. Saeko was a little taken back "Wait, Your friends with everyone here?".
Ross nodded "That's correct".
Kohta then walked forward "I'm just happy your alright" he said "Although. I figured that these things wouldn't be any trouble for you because of your lightning powers", Ross simply scratched the back of his head.
"Well not really, Plus I got some new ones too" he said with a smile.
Kohta then started to smile wider.
"Really! What did you get?" he asked.
"Well, I got-" he was about to speak until he was jumped on by Rei.
"Oh Ross I'm so happy that your alright!" Rei cried as she held onto him tightly, Ross then wrapped his arm around her waist and hugged her. "Same here, I told you that I wouldn't let them take you" he said causing Rei to blush.
"Hey Ross" Takashi said.
Ross turned to his friend "Yea Takashi?".
Takashi then pointed to his hand "How were you able to do that?" he asked him. Ross looked at him puzzled until he realized what he was talking about.
"Oh you mean this?", Ross then removed one of his hands from Rei's waist and raised it as he let some of his lightning surge into his palm. Everyone just looked at him with disbelieve.
Takashi just had his mouth drop.
Ross then stopped the lightning from flowing in his palm as he then looked at everyone with a serious look "Your not gonna start hating me because of my powers are you?" he asked. Takashi then walked over to his friend and rubbed his orange semi short hair.
"Why would I do that?".
"Well".
"Ross...".
Everyone then turned there attention to Saya who had finally broke out of her shock. Ross kneeled down to her "Saya? How are you feeling?" he asked her, That's when Saya slapped him across the face.
"Just what the hell are you!?" she yelled.
Ross was taken back by her comment, He thought that she would be happy that he had saved her. But here she was yelling at him.
Rei ran over to Ross's side "What the hell is your problem! He just saved you from being killed, And this is how you show your thanks!?" she said.
Saya just glared at her.
"How can I show thanks to someone who is able to completely defy the laws of physics! Not one of you are afraid of him!? Your all just acting all friendly to him like this is no big deal!" she said, Takashi then butted in.
"Saya just because Ross is able to do something like that doesn't mean that we would treat him any different!" he said. Saya just looked at her childhood friend "And why not! He's not normal like you and me Takashi! He's different! No human being can be able to harness electricity like that! And your telling me that I shouldn't treat him any different!?". She then glared at Ross.
"You! How long have you been keeping this a secret from all of us!?" she demanded, Ross looked away from her.
"Since I first came here, But I didn't want you all to know because I didn't want to be treated different. I couldn't stand being alone or not having any friends to be with, Or even fall in love with someone" Ross said with hurt in his eyes. Saya just kept her glare on him.
"Besides, only Kohta and Shizuka saw some of my powers by accident. But...but they stuck by my side!" Ross yelled "Even when they saw the real me, They would still be there for me no matter what! So who the fuck are you to tell me otherwise Saya!?".
"Don't talk to me like that! I'm a genius! I deserve respect!" she spat back "I'm smarter than all of you! And I can call out people as I please! Especially people that aren't like you!". Ross felt like he had been stabbed in the heart, he tried his best to hold back his tears.
Rei only held onto him as she tried her best to comfort him.
"You bitch! You think you can just do that to your friend!?" she said.
"Shut up!".
"Alright that's enough" Saeako said as she turned Saya to a mirror, Saya just looked at her blood stained clothes.
"Ahh...ahh my clothes are stained. I'll have to ask mama to take them to the cleaners" she said as she then looked at Ross who had his eyes shadowed by his hair. She Then felt all the pressure take it's toll on her as she then held onto Saeko and cried.
