[Play The Walking Dead's theme]
The intro of the story first starts with a quick view of the spot on the stairs that Takashi and George would meet at, before showing the gates of the school as they moved, but there's no one to move it.
We then switch to showing the hallways of the school. Bloodied and with the bodies of the students that didn't make it. But still no zombies. The scene is then cut to a assault rifle. Beside the rifle was the name George Edwards.
A boken is stabbed into a grass field, with the camera focused on it, and the background blurred out. Saeko Busujima is spelled on the wooden sword's blade. The camera then focuses on the background, showing that it was the city.
A gas station was then shown from afar with only the light shining it into view. Cutting quickly to a view of a bloodied handle baseball bat, the viewer sees the name Takashi Komuro next to it. Cutting quickly away from it, Rei Miyamoto is spelled next to her makeshift spear, that was leaning against the outside of the bus.
After a few shots of the city, we cut to a lone pistol on the ground with Kohta Hirano spelled next to it. The camera shifts and moves up to show that it was laying right in front of the gates of the Takagi house. With Saya Takagi appearing above it.
A lone medial bag with the name Shizuka Marikawa near it is seen in an empty room. A teddy bear is seen on the road with the names of Alice Maerasto and Zero near it.
As the intro was about to come to a close, the words Bladewolf101 presents appeared on screen, before it cuts to black, and the title is shown.
"The Living Dead"
"Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream~ merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream~" Kohta and Alice sang together, as the young girl sat on his lap. They were both sitting on top of the Humvee. Above them was George's black tanktop that was now clean, Takashi's pants and Alice's underwear was hanging on the antenna of the Humvee. "Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream~ merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream~"
As the morning came the next day, Shizuka was driving the Humvee through the water of the river to get to the other side. Luckily the vehicle was more than capable of handling the trek across. The only one awake with Kohta, Alice, and Shizuka was Saya. Meanwhile, in the backseat of the Humvee, Rei, Takashi, George, and Saeko were still asleep together.
The pinkette was standing up and had her upper body through the hold in the roof, searching around for danger. "Come on, let's sing it again!" Alice said.
"Okay," said Kohta. The two began to sing again. "Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream~ merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream~" Normally, Saya would get really annoyed by their singing. However, she didn't mind, as long as Alice didn't bug her. "Alright, now the filth version."
"Okay."
Kohta grinned and sang. "Shoot, shoot, shoot your gun, kill them all right now~ Bang, bang, bang, bang, life is but a scream~
Alice laughed despite the crude song lyrics. "That's great, Kohta!" she exclaimed, while Saya was having none of it.
So, when Kohta grinned with the sun reflecting off his lenses, she slammed her hand on the car and glared. "Hey, fatass, don't teach a little kid a filth song like that! GOT IT! Don't bastardize mother goose!"
Kohta smiled sheepishly and said nervously, "okay."
Shizuka then looked behind her seat at the sleeping teens. "Wake up, everyone!" she called, waking Rei up as she opened her eyes. "We'll get to the other side soon!"
Rei sat up and looked at Takashi. She had been sleeping on his chest the night and he'd held her by placing a hand on her side. Blushing as she remembered it, Rei's attention was then caught by something that made her smirk.
George was sound asleep with his head resting on the back of his sleep. After a long night of surviving and rescuing Alice, he was knocked out the moment he sat back. However, at some time during the night, Saeko had moved in her sleep and was now lying on her side, with her head on his lap, drooling on his leg while George unknowingly had his left hand on her head.
Then Takashi had woken up and groaned. "What's going on?" he asked, shaking his head.
"Oh, just George enjoying himself," Rei said, pointing at the two sleeping teens beside them. When Takashi saw it too, he grew a smirk as well.
While it was funny to see their friends in that position, the former couple was happy to see George and Saeko and it was kind of adorable to see them like that. The two of them knew of George's feelings for Saeko, hell it was very much obvious with how he stared at her. With how close George and Saeko have gotten since the outbreak began, perhaos Saeko had come to feel the same way about George as he does her.
Shizuka drove the Humvee up onto the riverbank, with a steep embankment in front of them that they'll have to drive up. Saya looked around for any signs of the Dead. They were now on the upper-class side of the Onbetsu River. They didn't cross the bridge because they didn't want to risk an encounter with the police. Luckily the water was shallow in this area, and the private military wasn't watching the area.
But as she looked around for the Dead or any signs of life, she was met with nothing. "That's weird." She said to Kohta, as he had out his SCAR-H ready. "There's no one. Living or Dead."
George woke up with a loud yawn. "Morning," he said in a groggy voice and rubbed his eyes with his right hand.
"Must be nice, buddy," Takashi said with a teasing grin.
"What're you talking…about…?" George asked, but then he looked down and saw Saeko's head suggestively on his lap and his mouth dropped open.
That's when Saeko woke up, moaning as she lifted her head off George's lap and looked around. Not having realized where she was sleeping. With some drool still on her chin, she looked up at George.
"Ah, Saeko, um…" George struggled to put words into a sentence as he stared at her with wide eyes and a growing blush on his checks.
"Comfortable?" Rei teasingly asked.
After a moment, Saeko realized the position she was in and her eyes widened with her face turning red with embarrassment. She gasped and shot up moved as far away for him as possible, having been more embarrassed than she's ever been, while her heart was beating rapidly, and her face flushed.
George had also tried to move away, but Takashi simply stopped him and was gently pushing the American teenager towards Saeko. "Come on, I know you two want to be close to each other." he said, trying not to laugh.
"Knock it off!" George exclaimed in anger and embarrassment, pushing back Takashi. Saeko tried her best to calm herself but couldn't. Not just because of the situation, she woke up in, but also because it was George. And their recent interactions made it much harder for her to calm down, given the fact they nearly kissed last night and a part of Saeko had been disappointed... because she had wanted to do more than simply kiss him.. "Let's get out."
Takashi stopped and nodded. "You're right."
"Why?" asked Rei.
"We're on the other side of the river, plus…" George looked over Rei's attire, before glancing Saeko, who looked away with a blush on her face. "Do you two really want to walking around, looking like you came out of your bedroom?"
The group out of the Humvee and walked around the vehicle for a moment.
"Hey, Komuro. Give me a hand," said Kohta from the roof, as Alice was sitting on the edge. "I'll let Alice down."
Takashi reached up for Alice as Kohta picked her up and was about to hand her to him. But the girl pushed her skirt down to cover what was underneath. "Don't look! Don't look!" She stammered.
George looked at the antenna that had her underwear still hanging for it like a flag and immediately understood. "I'll take her," he said, walking towards the roof. Kohta placed her back down on the Humvee, before George took her hand with a smile. "I'll get you down."
As Saeko watched George help down the young girl step down onto the hood of the Humvee, a smile formed on her face. He was kind to kids, was brave when he needed to be, skilled with guns, was able to confront a problem, and was tendered to his friends. Not to mention that he was very handsome. SHe felt her heart skip a couple of beats as she watched him
George jumped down from the Humvee with Alice piggyback on him. After setting her, Rei walked over to the young girl and placed a hand on her shoulder. "We're going to get dressed, so don't you dare look." she said firmly.
"Lady, I'm ready to die young, but we don't have a death wish," George said, as Takashi walked over and Kohta... had a devillish grin, at least until George grabbed him by the ear and pulled him along. "Come on, Romeo."
"So, what did you learn about Alice," George asked while putting his tanktop on, as the girls walked to the back the Humvee, where Rei slipped Alice's now clean underwear on the little girl.
"Alice?" asked Takashi.
"That's her name, Alice Maresato," Kohta said. "Her father's that newspaper reporter…" Kohta paused for a moment, looking away and down at the ground with a grim expression. "He was a newspaper reporter." George sighed as he was sitting on the hood of the Humvee, remembering last night when he stared at the corpse of the father.
"What about her mother?" asked Takashi.
"She said that her father told her she'd see her later." George stared down at the ground after hearing that. That response could only mean one thing. Suddenly they heard the girls giggle.
At the back of the Humvee, Shizuka had opened the duffle bag that had all the clean clothes and spilled them onto the ground. "I brought my girlfriend's clothes," she said with a wink, "so pick the ones you like."
"Hey, can I wear this jacket?" Saya asked as she bent over to pick it up. Unintentionally giving whoever was looking—Kohta—a view of her ass as the low-rise short nearly fell off.
"Sure!" Shizuka giggled.
"Is this the only skirt you've got?" asked Saeko, immediately catching George's attention, as he looked over his shoulder. But couldn't see anything, from where he was sitting.
"Pretty sexy, right?" Now George really wanted to see that skirt but willed himself to not look any further.
Suddenly Kohta clasped a hand on Takashi's shoulder and gave him a thumbs up with stars in his eyes. "Well, Komuro, a man's gotta do what man's gotta do!"
Takashi pushed his hand away. "I don't wanna die just yet," he said.
"Yeah, Rei would kill him, Saeko would kill me, and Saya would mutilate and castrate you," George said. Suddenly there was a bark in front of him on the ground. When George looked down, he said the white dog that he rescued standing there. Wagging his tail and panting. "Hey there, little guy." Being the dog-person he was, George reached down and picked him up and placed the puppy on his lap and started scratching his head.
"But don't bark too much, Zero," Kohta said.
George and Takashi glanced at him. "Zero?" Asked the brown-haired boy, as Saeko took a moment to listen in on their conversation as she untied her apron.
"Yeah, you know, like the plane. You now, the fighter we used when we got our asses handed to us during the Pacific War."
"You damn right." George said jokingly, making Saeko smile at a bit as she started to pull off her apron. "And he's talking about Mitsubishi A6M Zero. Small and fast, just like this little guy." Zero barked. George placed him down on the ground and grabbed one of the two Benelli M4 Super 90 Shotguns. He then turned to Takashi and handed it back to his friend. "Here, an Italian classic jut for you. All you have to do is aim for the head and you'll hit them."
"But like I said, I don't know how to use it," Takashi said. "A baseball bat's better for me."
George sighed in annoyance. "You really think a bat's going to get you out of every situation? What about if we're up against human enemies? You're going to need this shotgun to get you out of a pinch."
Takashi sighed. "Fine, so how do you use this thing?"
George handed the shotgun off to Kohta, who took it the Super 90 and pulled back the charging handle. Behind of the Humvee, Saya took off her shorts to put on a miniskirt and Shizuka stripped completely down. "You lock the bolt by pushing this little button up while pulling it back. You then place in the chamber one of these shells before pushing this button," Kohta said, pulling out a shell, loading it, and sending the bolt forward. "You only have to adjust your sight, find your target, and pulled the trigger. And since its semi-auto, you're able to fire faster than you would a normal pump-action."
"Wait, I can only use one shell?"
Kohta pulled the charging handle back and the shell few out. "No, when you run out of ammo, you put a shell in the chamber like before," he explained, loading the chamber and sending it forward. Kohta then flipped the gun upside down to show Takashi the gate and began to load it. "Then you're able to load 7 more shells in here, since this is a military model. One in the chamber, and then 7 in the tube, that's it!"
"I'll get confused if you tell me too many things at once," Takashi said, as Kohta handed him the Super 90.
As Rei was taking off her pink tank top with no bra underneath and Saeko slipped on a stocking on her leg, George told Takashi, "But if you're going to shoot this, even though it doesn't kick too hard, this shotgun will still buck."
"Well, in the worst case, I'll just use it as a club," Takashi said.
George sighed and grabbed his own guns, slinging his Super 90 across his back while holding the Colt M4A1 in both hands. "You break anything on that Super 90, then you're replacing it." He warned his friend and started to walk away. He really was hopeless sometimes.
"George!" George turned his head when he heard the cheery voice and gasped at the sight he was met with. The other two boys looked and saw that the girls had changed.
Rei was back in her clean school uniform, but had stopped wearing the black, thigh-high socks she had on and replaced them with knee pads, in addition to elbow pads. She wore a different green skirt and removed the bow from her shirt. She also added white fingerless gloves and combat webbing to hang her new weapon, the M1A SOCOM 16 rifle on.
Saya changed into an outfit that was similar to the school uniform, but it was now consisting of a white jacket with the zipper positioned below her breasts and underneath a black tank top, and a green mini skirt.
Shizuka had changed into a pair of checkered brown hot pants along with her white shirt. Alice, who was standing next to her, had on the same clothing.
And finally, there was Saeko, and George couldn't turn away from how beautiful she looked. She looked like a cross between a high school girl and a samurai. The purple-haired girl wore female battle boots with heels, long lace purple stockings, her school uniform top, and the sexy skirt that showed off the string of her thong and her entire right thigh.
George continued to stare at the girls, but his eyes were still glued to Saeko. She noticed and looked away with a blush on her face. Takashi stared at the girls too, but mainly at Rei and admired her beauty, while Kohta had…well, an expression that you would expect a pervert to have. Zero barked in approval.
Rei lifted her M1A a little, which slightly made her boobs jiggle, as she smirked and raised an eyebrow. "What? Got a problem?"
"No. You look good with it," Takashi said, before pointing at the M1A. "But can you use it?"
"I'll ask Hirano or George to teach me," she said. "Worse comes to worst, I'll just hit 'em with it."
"What is it with you two and hitting the zombies instead of shooting them" George asked, before Kohta raised his hand.
"Oh, I'd be delighted to teach you. Have you noticed that standard-issue bayonet at the end?" he asked, before George picked up said bayonet and handed it to her, and Rei put it on the end of the barrel.
With their battle preparations complete, it was time to move. "Get your weapons ready guys," George said, grabbing his bomber jacket and putting it on. "The boys and I are going to head up the embankment and clear out the Dead. We'll signal for you all to bring up the Humvee."
George, Kohta, and Takashi climbed up the steep embankment with their respective weapons, as the girls stay behind with the Humvee. They stopped just a few feet from the top. Jack looked at each of the two and shared a nod. Then, they rushed forward and onto the road, with George facing forward and aiming the M4A1, Takashi facing the left, and Kohta facing right.
But there was no one. Not a single person, living or dead. It was devoid of any life at all. George frowned and lowered his gun. "Nothing. Not one person in sight." He told the two boys with him before turning around and waving down at the girls, with Zero standing next to him. "All clear! There's fuckin' no one!"
Rei turned to Shizuka, who was in the driver's seat. "Ms. Shizuka!"
Shizuka nodded with a smirk and started the engine. "Here we go!" She yelled and drove it up the hill at full speed. When he saw the Humvee coming, Geprge grabbed Zero and ran out of the way.
"GET CLEAR!" He yelled and Takashi moved out of the way. However, Kohta remained still, as the Humvee practically flew over the top of the embankment.
"Crowd patrol," Kohta muttered, before yelling and jumping out of the way as the vehicle nearly landed on him. Shizuka landed the vehicle in the middle of the road, and it turned and came to a screeching stop. As the girls came walking up the hill, Kohta stayed on the ground, cowering for a moment. "All the zombies in the world and I'm gonna be killed by an Asian woman driver."
Saya didn't pay attention to him and looked around the area with a pair of binoculars. She saw abandoned buildings with signs that people were still living there and damaged vehicles on the road and splatters of blood. "I guess the river didn't stop the Dead, huh?" The pink-haired girl sighed.
"I don't know why any of us thought it would've been different on the other side," Saeko said. George nodded.
"All it takes is just one of those things to infect the entire population." He said.
"But if the police are still on the job, then maybe…" Rei said, but stopped when Saya turned towards her.
Saya then unexpectedly smile. "Yeah you're right," she said, and for a second George was sure that she was going to show a bit of kindness. "And maybe curbside recycling is still happening too."
"You literally can't give a person five seconds of kindness, can you?" George sighed in irritation.
"What're you looking at me for? She the one that needs the reality check every three seconds."
Shizuka poked her head out the Humvee's window and asked, "So then what are we going to do now?"
Takashi approached Saya. "Your house is on the second block of the Higashi Saka district, right?"
Saya nodded. "That's right."
"Then that's where we'll go." George decided. "Our goal is still the same. Find the families that live closest to make sure they're alright."
The group all piled back into the Humvee and drove off. With limited room inside, Takashi and Rei volunteered to sit on the roof this time. Saya was in the front passenger seat, Kohta and Alice sat together, and George and Saeko were next to each other in the back-back.
The Humvee pasted by multiple houses and stores that were deserted by the outbreak. Alice was looking out the window with a big smile. "Wow! Look at all the motorcycle!" She said cheerfully.
"They sell imported buggies and stuffed like that too," Kohta told her, and Alice looked at him in wonder. "Sometimes military equipment too."
"Really?" she asked, as Saya bend down and mumbled as she mocked the gun-geek.
Saeko and George were sitting with their backs against the seats in front of them, so as George looked over it, he looked at the small girl. "How're you feeling, Alice," he asked, a bit worried about her since the night before. She had to watch her father die in her arms and that was something someone so young should ever have to see. "You all good?"
Alice nodded with a big smile. "Don't worry, George, I think I'll be okay," she said as Zero gave her cheeks a lick.
George chuckled before reaching over to pet Zero's head. "You really like Zero, huh?" he asked before placing his hand back on his M4A1, which sat on his lap.
"Yeah! He's adorable," she said, and the puppy gave her a lick. George chuckled and ruffled her hair a little, before sitting back down and letting out a deep breath.
With a small smile on her face, Saeko asked, "You're quite good of kids, aren't you?"
"What can I say, I'm fond of kids," George said with a lopsided smile. "I'm not positively 100% sure why, but I guess my parents raised me right for the first thirteen years of my life."
"The Dead!" They both snapped their heads up when Kohta yelled. He was looking ahead with a pair of binoculars. "Distance, 300 meters!" George looked back to see that in front of them down the road was a large hoard of zombies.
Saya looked to Shizuka and said, "Go to the right!"
"O..Okay!" Shizuka replied and turned sharply to the right. Drifting around a corner. But down the road, another hoard of zombies was waiting for them. "They're here too! Oh no!"
Saya seethed. "Turn left there! Turn left!" She ordered, and the Humvee went left and started speeding down the other road.
"What's going on?" George asked. "The further we go inland, the more of them there are."
The Humvee turned onto a large road and found an even larger crowd in front of them. "Just keep going. Don't slow down," Saya said. Shizuka did as she was told and proceeded forward. Crushing any and all Dead under its wheels and splattering the windshield and front put of the Humvee.
Takashi and Rei still on top of the roof of the Humvee, with the boy shielding his ex's head and face with his arms. But then Rei saw something that made her eyes widened with fear. "Oh no...Oh no!" She then yelled to the people in the Humvee. "STOP THE CAR! STOP THE CAR!"
Saeko and George turned around and looked forward to seeing what Rei was worried about. George grabbed his rifle and aimed it forward, flipping up the magnifier of the Hybrid Sight.
That's when he saw it.
"Jesus Christ, there's a wire! Turned the car to the side! Do it NOW!" He yelled and Shizuka turned the car hard and violently to the left. The people inside were flung against the right-hand side of the car. George reached over the seat and held on to Alice. Keeping her in her seat as shielding her eyes from the blood and gore that spattered onto the windows from some zombies that they hit. Slicing them in pieces against the wire.
The Humvee was still moving and Shizuka was pressing down on the brakes to stop the vehicle. But nothing was happening. "How come it won't stop?!"
Kohta looked out the window and saw the blood all over the road. "The tires are locked!"
George turned to Shizuka and shouted, "You need to take off the brakes and push the gas a little!"
"The what?! What's that?!" She started pressing randomly on the pedals. One of them was the gas and the Humvee accelerated faster. Heading straight for a wall.
"Brace yourself!" George yelled.
"Hold on!" Shizuka slammed on the brake.
The Humvee came to a sudden came to a stop, tipping on its front wheel.
Time slowed down as Rei flew off the roof as Takashi reached out a hand to grab hers. However, he was only an inch too short of her hand. The brown-haired girl's back slammed against the hood of the Humvee, bouncing off to land onto the pavement. Yelling in pain as she rolled a bit before stopping.
Rei laid on the ground for a moment in pain. Opening her eyes, she gasped in fear upon seeing that the Dead were shuffling towards her. Rei tried to get up, but that just set pain through her spin. Takashi jumped off the roof of the Humvee, mumbling to himself as he landed on the group in front of his ex. He aimed down the sights of the Super 90 at the horde. "Fire!" He yelled.
The shotgun bucked hard into his shoulder, making him stumble back a bit. He was only able to get one of them in the head.
After the shell automatically ejected from the chamber and bounced off the ground, Takashi was able to regain his footing. He looked frustrated and confused. "Man, what the hell? I aimed at the head and only killed one of them?"
"You don't know what you're doing!" Yelled Kohta as he climbed up to the roof through the hole with his SCAR-H. "Because of the recoil, the muzzle moves off target! And the pattern shoots high!"
Realizing that he had to get out here and help, George checked his M4A1 and saw it had a loaded mag. He then looked at Alice and paused. He didn't want her to be in this situation, but now that she was, he had to protect her. He released his grip on her and faced her. "Alice, you listen now," he said tenderly as he could. "You stay here with Ms. Shizuka and Saya as we go fight. Everything's going to be okay, alright?"
Alice was shaking but hesitantly nodded. "Okay."
George nodded and kissed her head. The back of the Humvee opened and George jumped out. "Hold it as firm as you can and aim for the chest instead!" He instructed Takashi and started shooting at the Dead. Taking down a zombie with one or two shots to the head with great precision. Takashi does as he was told, and shot down two of the Walkers. George then shoots down one into the wall, and then Kohta shot another one. "After the shot, keep the aim and shift the muzzle just a tiny bit!"
Takashi followed his advice and fired again. Aiming slightly lower and carefully, before pulling the trigger and killed around four of the Dead. He repeated again and fired. Killing three. Takashi fired and took out more.
"Cool! Fuckin' A!" He yelled.
Takashi tried to fire again, but nothing came out. He was empty. So he reached into his pocket and pulled out another shell. He put it into the chamber and sent the bolt forward. Reaching into his pocket again, Takashi pulled out more shells, but ended up spilling them on the ground. Clattering against the road at the approaching zombies' feet.
That's when Saeko got out of the car with her bokken sword. "Komuro! Go get her, we'll cover you! But you better move like you've got a fucking purpose!"
"You can't! There's way too many of them to fight with a wooden sword!" Takashi yelled back at her.
"She's not going to be alone!" George said, shooting another zombie in the head. He then turned to Takashi and Saeko. "Just get your girl and hold your position! You ready to do this, Saeko?"
Saeko smirked. "Let's rock," she replied. Then quickly smashed the head of another Walker that was about to take a bit out of her. She danced around, bashing in the skulls of the Dead around her. George continued shooting at the zombies with Kohta. However, he made sure that Saeko didn't get any that she missed too close and took them down.
He reloaded the M4A1 with a fresh mag, before he resumed shooting. With the gun on semi-auto, it made it easier to shoot one zombie down after the other rather than going full auto and spraying bullets everywhere. But the situation was getting chaotic, and the American found himself having to be very careful with his aiming. Saeko was moving so rapidly that one wrong aim could hit her.
But even with the number of Dead getting killed, more showed up. If they didn't get help fast, they were going to be up to their necks in zombies.
"Guys! What about this?!" George heard Takashi and turned to him. He was laying on the ground near Rei and was using the M1A rifle. Aiming it across her chest due to it still being strapped to her back and chest.
George ignored that and focused on fighting and instructing his friend. "Push the lever in front of the trigger guard to release the safety! Then pull the charging handle on the side and fire!"
Takashi pulled the charging handle, aimed, and fired. Rei yelled out as the battle rifle fired a 7.62×51mm NATO round. He continued to shoot, with made Rei yelp in pain and her boobs to painfully jiggle. George shot another bullet at a Walker. The 5.56×45mm NATO round sailed through the air as Saeko jumped over it. Spreading her legs out a little as the bullet pasted underneath. Only a few inched from her black thongs. Saeko then bent backward as George fired again. In something that could've only come out of The Matrix, her breasts jiggled so much that the bullet was able to go pass through them without even being able to touch the fabric over her uniform.
As Takashi started to miss his shouts, Kohta's SCAR-H stopped firing when he pulled the trigger. He hit the mag release and looked at the mag. Kohta quickly reached with his left hand to pull out another mag from his tactical vest, but found that he was out of the mags that he was carrying. "I'm out of mags!" He yelled. Inside the Humvee, Alice was sitting in her seat crying silently the whole time. "Somebody hand me an FN SCAR-H magazine!"
Alice looked up at him. "Kohta?" she asked, seeing him holding down a mag.
"Like this!" He exclaimed.
"Okay," Alice said before getting out of her seat and crawled into the back to look for the magazines. Zero barked, gaining Alice's attention and saw him standing in front of a duffle bag that contained the magazines. Grabbing a mag, she looked up at Kohta. "Kohta!" The otaku looked down to see her holding out the mag to him with a teary smile. "Here's some."
With Kohta back in the fight, George walked on the roof to the front. He switched to full auto, blasting many zombies with a hailstorm of bullets, but there were still so many coming. "We need to get out of here!" Takashi yelled as he reloaded the M1A.
"No shit!" George yelled back before hitting the roof with his boot. "Miss Shizuka, get that vehicle running!"
Shizuka quickly grabbed the keys and turned them in the ignition. But all that happened was that it sputtered. "I can't get the stupid engine to turn over!" she yelled.
"What?! Shit!" He yelled in frustration before turning to Saeko as she whacked a few zombies away.
"Takagi!" He heard Shizuka cry out and looked down to see Saya jumping out of the jeep before picking up the Super 90 and a few of the shells off the ground.
"Shells are by your foot. Don't you know how to use it?!" Kohta yelled at her.
Before answering him, she loaded a shell into the chamber and sent the bolt forward. "I'm a genius!"
"Saya, get back!" George said, aiming his shotgun at the walking dead.
"Relax. I know what I'm doing," she said as she loaded the shotgun and turned back around...
Only to come face to face with a Walker.
She gasped while recoiling from the shock of being that close to one of them. Saeko then came in a saved her by smashing the thing in the head with her bokken. Splattering brains and blood all over Saya's clothing and hair. This enraged the young woman as she turned back to the horde and glared at the Walkers with a face of rage. "I'M NO WUSS! I'M NOT GONNA DIE!" She screamed, before she started shooting into the cluster. "NOBODY'S GONNA MAKE ME DIE! MY HOUSE IS RIGHT OVER THERE!, YOU WALKING DEAD DEADBEATS!"
Switching back to semi-auto, George took down three more zombies before pausing. There was too many, so many that they'll be running out of ammo by the time they finish... and they need to conserve until they can find somewhere to restock on ammo.
He then noticed some stairs that were a few feet behind the horde and knew what he had to do. The American teenager jumped down from the Humvee and put away his rifle to swap it out for his pistol. "Takashi, get everyone out of here," he ordered his friend. "Have Saya help you get Rei past the wires and to the other side."
"Wait, what are you going to do?" Takashi asked as Rei and Saya looked at the American with wide eyes.
"What I need to do."
George then charged towards the crowd of Dead with a warcry. Going through the crowd of zombies by hacking their heads or shooting them. Saeko saw this and ran towards George, kicking one zombie in the chest, before shooting three more with her pistol. "George, go! I'll be right behind you." She exclaimed. And so the two battled their way toward the crowd as George ran over to the wall of the street.
"OVER HERE, MOTHERFUCKERS!" He yelled. The yell getting the attention of some of the zombies and they turned towards the two teenagers.
"COME THIS WAY!" Saeko yelled, pulling out her handgun and shooting it at some of the zombies. The loud bangs of each shot echoed throughout the area. To get more of them to pay attention to her, she slammed her bokken into a metal pole of a street light.
"Let's keep going! We need to buy them as much time as we can!" George pointed to the top of the stairs. Saeko followed him as they went up to the high ground. Jumping over a gap before turning back towards some railings to look back at the street. Some of the Walkers had completely ignored them as were still going towards the Humvee.
"They just keep coming," Saeko said.
Picking up a stone, George banged it relentlessly on the metal railing in front of them to try and draw the horde's attention onto him and Saeko. It worked, somewhat, but some of the Walkers still saw Takashi and the others at the Humvee as a far easier meal.
"Takagi, come on!" Takashi exclaimed The dark-haired boy got up, unclipped the rifle from Rei, threw it through the wires, and then took off one of his shoes to put it on his hand. He then used his other foot and the shoe on his hand to separate the wires to make an opening.
Suddenly, a female voice shouted. "Get the ladder! Get them out of there now!"
Just then, several armed individuals in fire-fighting gear rushed towards the group on the other side of the wire barrier. They ran over to the wire barrier and started blasting the Walkers. One of the firefighters then bright a ladder and propped it against the side of the Humvee on the opposite side of the wire to help Kohta and Alice get down.
"Who's that?" Saeko asked as she and George watched.
"No idea... but they're helping. that's for sure." George said with relief as he watched the group make it to the other side thanks to the arrival of these people. "We'll need to take the long way around to get to them."
"Well then, we might as well not waste anymore time, right?" Saeko asked pointedly and he nodded.
He looked over at the group again and could see them all staring at him with looks of concern. Worried about the two as they were about to head off on their side mission together. George gave them a two-figure salute before he and Saeko turned and started running away. Saya ran towards them, but stopped just in front of the wire barrier. "I'LL BE WAITING! I'LL BE WAITING! COME TO MY HOUSE ON THE HILL!"
As he and Saeko ran through the streets and killed the Dead that got in their way, a new feeling started to form inside of him. It was a strange feeling, but even when the world turned into the hell they were in, George felt great. Empowered somehow. It seemed as though they were invisible.
And that's it for this chapter. The next one will feature the first lemon scene... so you have that to look forward to.
