Zed Pov:

"After getting the low down on what happened, apparently that stranger who took Rev into the forest was that of a fruitpire. Another type of bat like being who instead eats fruit instead of blood, so that's a good thing. Though what I can't seriously can't believe was that he was able to make a joke out of Revenant in the forest, so far the news said that he was fighting a suppose 'hostile' to the town. Which is what the sentinels put in so that no one knew about this new guest here, want to keep it a secret I guess. However it quickly passed away since we were going have a rematch against the Royal Mackerels, that football team has been always bragging about how weak a shrimp is against them. They wont be saying it that much when they meet me, Seabrook's best football player. Sure I won't be able to Zom-boost like the other games but I don't need that, with how much training I was getting from the coach as well the other players on the team since they finally began to like me. I'm sure I can handle these fishes, but it might help if Rev could come back on the team and help out."


Football Practice

It was a bright morning at Seabrook high football field, on the side was Bucky who was teaching the other cheerleaders how to properly cheer. Addison and Bree were with them doing the same, on the bleachers was that of Eliza, Bonzo as well that of Queen. Who were watching from the side as the two thought it be nice to see Zed play, the three watched as how Zed was getting ready from the side.

Queen: "So, the goal of this game is to get the ball to the other side? Without being tackled. Sounds rather strange for people of that type of strength to be bashing heads into one another, wouldn't be better to be it to proper use?"

Asking her new zombie friends to which it was true, though Eliza merely shrugged seeing how this was bit of true seeing that most of these people would try to build up muscle mass to use it against another.

Eliza: "Yep, but most of these boys like to see which of them is the strongest. Though if Zed didn't have his Z-band, he could show them his zombie strength."

Smiling at the fact that although all the humans had worked out to the fullest as well of tried to make sure they could take down a player in one tackle. It wasn't that much against zombie strength, however Bonzo shook his head seeing how that was not a good thing as well right. Eliza, nodded at him as she already learned that tampering with the Z-bands led to him as well the two of them to revert to their zombie states. She still had dreams when she lost control as well tried to harm people, it was something that she wanted to forget.

Eliza: "Though Zed doesn't need it, he's already got the determination of a lot of football players. It's just, the cheerleaders that I'm not partially a fan of."

Expressing that as the three looked at the sight of Bucky, acting all positive as well making sure the cheerleaders practiced to perfection. Soon enough, the coach blew his whistle to them as they begun to practice. Half of the team went to the right lane while the left lane charged against the other, Zed was the left team as he was able to catch the ball in time. He was turning left to right avoiding the other players coming after him, he was focused on getting the ball to the other side as he could hear Addison cheering for him.

"I still can't believe I got a girlfriend who likes me, as well that of a cheerleader. Sure Bucky doesn't make it easy cause he still is a bit afraid of me, still I have someone who cheers for me as well my.."

Before he could finish his thought in his head, he quickly gets tackled onto the side by one of the players. Addison got shocked at how he was taken down as well the three on the bleachers looked surprised the same way, the coach saw this as well whistled for everyone to take a break. Zed, who was surprised by the turn of event as well almost getting his lights knocked out. Removing his helmet he walked over to the coach as he was right now congratulating the other players on how they hustle to which he turns to Zed.

Coach: "What happened? One moment you were running like a train then suddenly you lose focus."

Zed: "Sorry, I was a bit distracted. It won't happen again."

Apologizing for what happened as well getting distracted, the coach patted his shoulder and nodded to him seeing it was ok. Everyone get's distracted, though for a rematch like this between a team that has talked smack for them for years. Was no time for it, the coach gave him a smile and try to focus next practice. Zed smiled as he walked over to Addison, the white haired cheerleader walked over as well noticed Bucky distracted with the other cheerleaders making sure they got their performance right.

Addison: "That was quite the hit, you sure you didn't break any bones or anything?"

Asking out of concern however Zed merely showed a honest smile seeing that he was alright as well showing he was good. Though he didn't expect a slap on the back from Queen seeing how she didn't knew he wasn't that strong as her.

Bonzo: "Ok?"

Asking his friend seeing if he was ok, Zed nodded to his friend as well everyone else that he was fine. No sprains, no broken bones or anything since they could almost felt the tackle.

Zed: "Guys, I'm fine. You know me, I can't stay down and can't be stop. I'm a zombie freight train going take on those mackerels."

Getting pumped up as well showing off his physic, the others gave him a smile showing there support to him as quickly enough Bucky called out to Addison. Bree, who was by the side waved to her seeing how they needed to head back to class.

Addison: "Sorry guys, got to go. Bucky's been getting the cheerleaders ready for this rematch, got to make sure they don't pull a muscle. Unlike a zombie I know who's confident to know he's got this."

Making a joke of Zed as she gave him a small kiss on the check making the zombie player blush a bit before heading with her friend back with the others. Zed, still a bit dazed from the small affection he got quickly shakes his head seeing the smirks off his friends faces. The four soon walk to the side of the benches to get there things as well head back into school.

Eliza: "But you sure you got this? Did some research on those royal fishes, after they beat Seabrook. They went to other schools, as well winning trophies as well of making sure none of the schools football teams would ever enter another competition."

Giving him the background on the team's suppose victory track as well of how aggressive they could be when it came to football matches, Zed. Got a bit curious of this as well gave it some thought about it. Just how tough have these mackerel players gotten since last time? Though as it went to his head, he showed a confident smile coming up with a plan which the two zombies noticed as well getting curious.

Bonzo: "Plan?"

He asked which Zed snapped his fingers at his friend to which he knew what he needed to do, however Queen looked confused of what he was thinking while Eliza knew it.

Eliza: "Seriously? He's going to say no. After that whole stunt with us getting out of control, as well almost losing himself. He promise to stay out of the game and try to focus on his studies."

Bringing up about the one person who might be able to help out with the rematch game, Revenant. Zed knew of this as well that after the football game as well him almost trying to harm Bucky, Rev decided it be best to go back to what he was good at which was studying about zombies. Especially the culture of Seabrook, seeing that now with it's suppose new guest Queen, it could be possible for different types of creatures to be lurking around.

Zed: "I know, but it's just one game. I'm not going use the Z-band, and Rev won't be using his strength. Were going work as a team, besides that he's been busy with this secret stuff. It be good to see him back in the game."

Thinking positive as well that with Rev on the game, it would give them a edge while Queen scratched the side of her head of it not sounding that bad.

Queen: "Was the last game bad?"

Asking about what had happened before, the two zombies by Zed's side merely nodded to which she could tell it wasn't that good. Eliza, thinking of what Rev might say no to this since he has been having his own misadventures. Sure it was to protect Seabrook as well the zombie community, but sometimes she felt like he couldn't do it all by himself. Though for now, nothing dramatic was happening was that of a football game, so maybe him helping out might be not that bad.

In the library

Inside of Seabrook's library, where most of the students were either talking about the football game happening later on in the day as well of how they were going win. All except for one individual student, a zombie student to be exact which was none other then Revenant. Who had a whole collection of work he had missed out for a while he was facing off Kahn as well facing off against Night wing. He was a bit backed up with some stuff he might have not been able to get to, he had a set of books collected by the side as well of papers as well homework he was writing.

Revenant: "Great, just freaking great. If it's possible in the future I might meet someone that can help get my studies done, like a robotic assistant or something."

Muttering about the fact this was going take a while, it wasn't that much of a challenge since he was raised by two smart human parents. So it was easy for him to get most of the work that his teachers had given him done, though he had a set of other type of work. The work that Night wing gave him since he wants to be his mentor, which sounded ridiculous as well something he'd never expect. Researching on monsters, he was given hand written papers by the fruitpire of different types of creatures that were around.

Revenant: "On top of this, apparently there a bunch these things across the whole of the world."

Stating the fact as the research he was given by the fanged visitor showed that of a whole history of supernatural entities, from specters, ghouls as well other kinds of monsters that weren't exactly kind and friendly like the ones he had encountered. He was writing down answers on papers on one side as well the other to figure out how to handle these types of beings if they ever wandered into town, quickly enough he heard some footsteps as he looked to the side to see that of Zed and Eliza.

Zed: "Rev, need some assistance? Sure looks like it."

Suggesting to help out as Rev opened up his hands seeing that he had already had gotten most of his homework done. The only thing that he had left was that of getting to know about these creatures, the two zombies looking at what he was studying as there were tons of information on each of them.

Eliza: "Stone gargoyles? Two headed ghouls? Blood bats? Where did you get this stuff anyway?"

Revenant: "A fruit vampire who is now my teacher, bit weird when you say that."

Answering her question which made her raise a eyebrow at him, turning to Zed if he knew about this which he did seeing how Brit informed him about what happened. As the two sat down in front of Rev the three began to look at the papers as well see the vast information of creatures that had existed. Zed, looked at Rev as the glasses wearing zombie was looking troubled by the papers.

Zed: "So, I was wondering. If, you weren't exactly handling that of these 'literature chompers'? I might need, some help."

Asking him to see if he would listen, finishing a paper Rev looked at Eliza seeing what he was suggesting which she nodded seeing that the two knew what he was going bring up. Looking at Zed, the zombie boy merely sigh seeing that Rev might have figured out what he might want.

Zed: "Ok it's the football match, yes we can do it but I want to make sure that were undefeated. Besides it's one game, tops and I won't ask you for another game again."

Insisting he could play a game of football again, the green eyed zombie looked at him as well lowering his glasses to him as well shook his head. Zed, tried to speak again but Rev continued to shake his head at him not interested in playing another football game.

Revenant: "Come on Z, I played the game to help out with getting zombies treatments for the school. Now you got it, and I get to do this. Making sure whatever, I don't know what this from coming to town and wanting to. Eat, toes?"

Explaining his reason as well looking at a suppose gremlin with long fingers as well being called 'Toe hunters'. Eliza, could see how Rev was dealing with getting these papers collected together as well having trouble studying them. So, being the smart one aside from Rev thought of a idea that could benefit everyone.

Eliza: "Well, seeing as how your researching on supernatural creatures. I did some research on these mackerel guys, as well there suppose winning streak. They've made plenty of football teams across schools stop participating in championships. Maybe something to look into, could involve one of these guys."

Pointing at the papers of strange beings as Rev could she what Eliza was doing, thinking it might be better then getting stuck in these books as well studies. It might be worth while to check out these guys, even if these football players might be something else entirely. Collecting his papers as well of the homework he owed some of the teachers, he looked at his two friends and shake both of there hands.

Revenant: "Alright, if these guys are nothing more then natural athletes. Then Zed you can take them, but these guys are something from this stuff as well possibly could be non friendly as well might have a ace up there sleeve. Then I'll join, see you then."

Making a deal as well heading out as Eliza, looked at Zed with a smirk on her face solving his problem. Zed smiled as well hugged her but the zombie girl merely shuttered a bit as she wasn't exactly used to hugs from Zed as the two got up.

Zed: "Well that takes the worry off us, if these guys aren't some kind of strange group of creatures then Rev and possibly us can handle it. If not, then this game should be easy to win. Nothing can go.."

He was going to finish the sentence until Eliza stopped him by raising a finger, stopping him due to that certain saying. You never say those words thinking that just because things seemed easy, couldn't mean it could lead to something happening. The two walked out of the library and headed back home to where that they could get ready for the game that will be coming tomorrow.


Night time

Walking to that of a small food store was Revenant, who was taking a stroll to a small shop to get himself a hotdog. He decided it's been a while since he got anything good to eat that wasn't zombie based or school related, he was also getting a phone call from that of Brittney to which he discussed about looking up the Mackerel football players.

"So you really want to do this? Look into a football team that Eliza thinks might be one of the monsters from Night wing's research?"

On the other side of the phone being that of Brittney seeing what he spoke to her, she sounded rather confused of him looking into this. As well where he was going to start, meaning he might have to walk out of the town and visit them.

Revenant: "Yes, I would talk to Night wing but I don't exactly trust nor want to talk to him. Not because he almost schooled me in a fight, but the fact he suddenly comes into town and wants to help me be a better fighter? Not buying it."

Doubting how he still couldn't trust him, sure that the research on these creatures could in handy. But he just got a off feeling from Night wing, maybe it was like with Quill seeing how although he was a human, he wasn't all that good.

"I get it, I seriously do when it comes to trusting people we don't know about. But right now we should use the information we have been given, or to be exact you. Since he trusts you and not me or Sentinel, can't exactly blame him since he was hunted for months. Just be careful, and call me this time."

Advising him this time to call him as she hanged up on him, he sighed a bit thinking she was acting like Susan. Always concern for what action might happen, kind of like a sister that had his back although he didn't exactly asked for it. Continuing to enjoy his meal, he quickly hears something from the side around the corner of the block. Finishing his snack, he decided to check it out as well what was making the ruckus. Surely enough he saw something happening in the hardware store, taking precaution he entered from the door as it was apparently opened.

Revenant: "Hello? Anyone here?"

Asking rather curious as well looking around, he looked at the shelves as well the wall seeing multiple of tools taken off as well other types of metal based items. Soon enough he heard something going on in the back, cracking his knuckles as well not sure what might be on the other side. He prepared for anything as he quickly leapt to see the back of the store ransacked as well several more tools taken.

Revenant: "Here exactly is security when you need it, sure they got it when it comes to zombies but when it comes to this then.."

Without a moments notice, he gets hit across the side by a bag as well dropped onto the ground. Taking a look at who did it, the assailant was that of a human wearing a black ski mask, as well that of clothing that covered much of his body. Along carrying a bag that sounded like the stolen tools, he marched out with the stolen property as well made a run for it. Rev, trying his best to not get angry takes pursuit as well runs after the thief. Moving straight after him the thief that was carrying most of the tools was heavy, it was remarkable of how he was able to carry it without losing any breath.

Revenant: "Come on guy, you don't not want to end up me catching you. Not going be pretty!"

Shouting at the thief as he didn't respond to him, quickly enough they were reaching outside of the town. Having enough of this game of tag, using his legs he leapt right towards him and landed right behind him. Grabbing his arm he was going try and stop him, however he heard a tearing like sound. Falling onto the ground, the zombie boy saw the thief running away as well of escaping with the bag.

Revenant: "Yeah sure, leave the zombie to blame. You get a whole set of tools to make a shed while I have your.."

Yelling at the thief looking at what he suppose to have a sleeve, looking at it he saw something else in it. Taking it out he saw that of a plastic light tan arm, it looked like some kind of arm sleeve. This thief was defiantly not human, as well that it could be a link to the mackerels as well the game that might happen tonight. He had no choice at this moment seeing that this person or the others on the team might be like this, he had to get back into football.
