Sorry for the delay, college can just eat up your time.
"Girls, you might need to get out of the house for a while. It's going to get a little heavy here..."
The Kanker's mom tried to sound as calm as she could, but after what she saw, she wasn't so sure. The sisters looked at each other and then back at their mom.
"Are you gonna be ok mom?" May asked. Their mom grinned at May and embraced the sisters.
"I'll be fine, don't worry about me. I just want you to get to safety." She told her daughters. "Here, take these with you just in case."
The sisters were given a large jar of Kanker rubber cement, a few knives for self defense, and their family heirloom: the ship in a bottle.
The Kanker sisters headed for the back door, going into the woods to escape the chaos that was ensuing in the trailer park.
Once she was sure her daughters were gone, Ms. Kanker grabbed the biggest knife left in the kitchen along with a large water gun full of rubber cement. She then stood in front of the door and took a deep breath, the pounding on the door made her heart beat faster and faster.
"It's always you, ain't it Lenore." Ms. Kanker sighed to herself. "I hope Pops' patented rubber cement is as good as he and the girls said it is."
The trailer door destroyed by the bizarre people, as it broke Lenore blasted them with the rubber cement to keep them from getting any closer.
The Kanker sisters were running through the woods, they were told to go to safety, but their true intentions were to get help for their mom. Occasionally, May looked back behind her to see their mom, however they three of them were now far enough away to the point where they couldn't see the trailer anymore.
"Shouldn't we go back for her?!" May asked.
"You heard what Mom said, we can't go back. Whatever those things are, I'm more afraid of mom than them!" Marie answered.
"Quiet, I'm tryin' to call the girls!" Lee snapped, she was dialing a number on her cell phone and waited for the ringing. Thankfully, there was an answer.
"Hello?"
"Janyse, you gotta help us! Our mom's in trouble!" Lee pleaded.
"I'm kind of having my own problems right now, but maybe you can help..." Janyse answered.
"Ok girls, let's get to Janyse's!" Lee announced.
Several hours earlier, Eddy and Double D were heading over to Matt's house to get Ed.
"Where do you think Jimmy went? It isn't like him to go somewhere without Sarah for too long." Double D pondered, Eddy rolled his eyes.
"He's probably prancing around in the daisies somewhere. Don't worry about him." Eddy answered.
The two arrived at a two story house that was painted light green, the home seemed to give off a friendly atmosphere, which opposed the grey colored house that stood next to it.
"Man, it's like that girl practically drains the fun out of this place..." Eddy groaned.
"Well Janyse's lifestyle choices can be rather gothic, but she isn't as bad as you think Eddy."
"Whatever, let's just get Ed, that girl creeps me out."
Double D rang the doorbell to Matt's house, Matt opened the door with Ed right behind him.
"Eddy! Double D!" Ed greeted cheerfully, pulling his to companions into a massive bear hug.
"It's nice to see you too Ed." Double D said, trying to to get out if the hug.
"Ed..." Eddy replied.
"Yes Eddy?"
"As much as I love the smell of your stinky pits... CAN YOU LET GO OF MY HEAD NOW!?" Eddy shouted. Ed let the two go, still with a wide grin on his face.
"So what brings you two here?" Matt asked.
"Well we came to pick up Ed, we still need to study for the exam once we go back to school." Double D answered.
"Aww come on Double D! Please let me stay a little longer!" Ed pleaded. Matt's house phone begin to ring before Double D could answer. Matt went over to answer it.
"Ed, you know this exam is important, and you shouldn't spend all day here, it could become a burden on Matt's parents." Double D said, Ed gave Double D puppy dog eyes before Matt interrupted the two.
"Hey Eds, something happened with that kid, Jimmy. He's in the hospital."
This announcement thoroughly shocked the Eds, even Eddy was horrified.
"Oh my, is he alright?!" Double D asked.
"He's fine, he's blacked out but he's fine." Matt replied.
"Well we should postpone our study session to check up on Jimmy, it's important for us as his friends to support him." Double D said.
"The kid's fine, all he needs is to see Sarah and some peaches with cream and he'll be back home by supper." Eddy said, the four of them left Matt's house and we're met with people screaming and running for their lives.
"Woah, where's the fire?!" Matt asked in shock. Eddy was suddenly knocked down by a man with the same symptoms as the other ravenous people. The man tried to bite Eddy's neck, but Eddy held him back.
"HELP! GET THIS GUY OFF ME!" Eddy screamed. Ed became angry at the strange man and went to help Eddy.
"Do not hurt my friend! Zombie from the Netherworld!" Ed shouted, throwing the zombie off of Eddy and into the road, where it was hit by a bus that was trying to escape the chaos.
"Nice job Monobrow!" Eddy said, getting up off the ground and patting Ed on the back.
"Uh, guys..." Matt said, the Eds turned to see more zombies heading their way. Some of which rushed into Janyse's house.
Ed and Eddy got ready to fight back, Double D reached into his hat and pulled out a slingshot, then looking into his pocket and took out a small steel ball, he then aimed at the zombies. Matt thought for a moment before getting an idea.
"Hey guys, can you hold them off for a minute? There's a few things I can get that might help us." Matt asked.
"Go for it." Eddy replied. Matt ran back into his house to get what he needed. As he went inside, various zombified body parts came flying out of Janyse's house.
A teenage girl wearing a red tube top, purple skinny jeans, black high heels and a black jacket. Her eyes and hair were a very dark brown. Her face was surprisingly calm, she held a sledgehammer and was prepared to swing again.
"And just when I thought I could catch a break with this early dismissal." The girl groaned.
"Right on time Janyse." Eddy greeted, Ed waved at Janyse with his usual win.
Matt was rummaging through his room, he was in a panicked rush until he grabbed to strings with steel balls attached to them on both ends, the letter 'J' was painted onto each ball.
"Grandpa Joseph, don't fail me now!" Matt said to himself. He rushed back outside and gave Janyse a flirtatious smirk.
"Howdy neighbor!" He said, trying to sound cool. Janyse smiled back at Matt before she shattered another zombie.
Matt handed Eddy a baseball bat and Ed a hammer.
The four of them continued to fight their way through the increasing number of zombies, Janyse reached into her pocket and took out her cell phone.
"Now ain't the time for a selfie!" Eddy said.
"I'm calling backup you idiot!" Janyse spat. "Just cover me for a bit!"
After Janyse made her call, the battle was still going on, the five of them were beginning to grow tired.
Eddy hit a zombie away from him using the bat Matt gave him, out of the corner of his eye he thought he saw the same boy that caused the issue at school. But the boy quickly got out of his sight.
"Eddy! Behind you!" Double D yelled, slinging a ball at a zombie that hid behind him, disorienting it and allowing Eddy to finish it off. The zombie boy then pounced onto Eddy while he was distracted.
"GUYS!" Eddy shouted.
"I got you dude!" Matt shouted, leaping at the zombie and smashing his head with his iron clackers.
"W-was that James?!" Double D asked.
"A friend of ours has been infected by the zombie menace, we must fight to make sure we do not lose another comrade!" Ed proclaimed, holding his hammer to the sky.
"It's our boyfriends!" A voice called out. The Kanker sisters arrived and immediately ran over to Janyse, except for May, who embraced Ed. Surprisingly, he didn't seem to bothered as much as he looked shocked by the sudden hug.
"What do ya' need Janyse?" Lee asked.
"These... things started showing up and they attacked us, we've held them off for a while, and more ought to be coming soon." Janyse explained.
"Hey! Those are the same things that attacked us at the trailer!" Marie noted.
"They're down there too?!" Eddy asked in horror.
"Yeah, and our mom is still there trying to hold them off." Lee replied.
"We need to help her before more of those things show up!" Janyse exclaimed.
"But we have to check up on our own homes as well!" Double D added.
"And don't forget, our parents are out there too!" Matt said, which worried Janyse the most.
"Argh, ok then what do you think we should do Double D. You're the smart one." Janyse said. Everyone turned to Double D, who was taken aback by the sudden attention.
"W-well, we may have to split up into two groups. The girls will go back to the Kanker's trailer and help their mother. Fellows, we will head back to the cul-de-sac and warn everyone. If any of you see a schoolmate, inform them of the situation and bring them with you! We must not let anyone else get hurt, or worse! In a worst case scenario, we may have to leave town, so we'd best get any supplies that we may need." Double D said. Matt and Janyse then headed into their homes to get their supplies.
"And where should we go after we do all that, Sweetie?" Marie asked.
"If we have to leave Peach Creek, then we may have to head to Lemon Brook. Meet us at the city limits, stay safe."
The Kankers gave their respective Ed a hug or a kiss on the cheek, with Double D being the only one not to grimace and wipe his cheek when the Kankers turned to leave.
As they all left, James' body stood up and collected the shattered remains of his head, once he had all the pieces, he simply put his head back together. James appeared to be the only zombie that reformed. Despite his brain being essentially turned to mush in both the literal and figurative senses, James remembered what happened before he was taken down. He growled as he went to go look for Matt and Eddy...
Before all the chaos erupted, Rolf was preparing to tend to his farm when he discovered that his farm was already chaotic. The chickens we're all having spasms in their coop, Wilfred was dragging his behind in a circle on the ground, all while squealing hysterically.
Rolf's eyes went wide in panic, he took a fried turkey leg from his pocket and held it to his ear, becoming even more frightened. He rushed all of his animals into the basement of his house, which gone through some refurbishment to be large enough to hold every animal and have space to spare with feeders for all of them.
In the time he spent moving all the animals, the zombies had already begun attacking the cul-de-sac. Kevin's dad had came back from work and along with his wife, was helping Nazz's, Rolf's and Jonny's parents against the zombies. Rolf then saw the Eds arrive with Matt from the lane.
"Rolf, are you alright?" Double D asked.
"Ed boys! Fleet of foot Matthew! A great disaster has befallen among the cul-de-sac!" Rolf exclaimed in panic.
"We figured that, Stretch." Eddy commented.
"You guys get to your houses, I'll stick with Rolf." Matt said. The Eds ran to their homes, Rolf seemed to be staring into space before his eyes went wide enough to the point where they looked like they were going to bulge out of his head.
"NANA!" He shouted, running into his home, Matt followed him, not sure of what was going to happen.
Rolf ran into a room on the second floor, an old woman was laying on the bed, she was wearing a black traditional dress from Rolf's home country. She wasn't breathing...
Rolf walked up to the woman, checked her pulse, and then hung his head.
"So she has passed..." Rolf said in sorrow.
"Rolf... what happened?"
"It is my Nana. In my culture, when a person reaches a certain age, they accept the fact they will pass on to the next world and wear a ceremonial clothing. It appears as though my Nana's time has finally come. My family and I knew that it was coming, but it still pains me to accept it." Rolf explained. He then clutched his chest and sank to his knees. "My heart! My heart! It's broken..."
Matt began to console his friend, explaining everything that happened to him and the Eds to Rolf. Who was quick to help in this problem.
"I see, so we must meet at the boundary to Peach Creek and Lemon Brook." Rolf said, he pondered for moment before he and Matt headed down to the basement. Rolf brought out several pigs and goats, including Wilfred and Victor.
"The pigs and goats should prove to be useful in this mission." Rolf announced. The Eds had gathered all the kids who were still in the cul-de-sac, everyone had already gathered their equipment as well.
"Hey Rolf, is your Nana ok?" Kevin asked, placing a sympathetic hand on his best friend's shoulder. Rolf sighed, Kevin immediately backed off, knowing he should give Rolf a little bit of space.
"So um... Double D, you said we're going to Lemon Brook, right?" Jonny asked, he was clutching Plank in his arms.
"That's right, well be meeting Janyse and the Kankers at the city limits." Double D answered.
"Did you all yell your parents where were going?" Kevin asked. Everyone except Double D nodded.
"My parents aren't home, and they aren't answering their phones!" Double D said.
"Well maybe they'll call you later, besides our parents are probably going to call them at some point." Kevin replied. "For now, we gotta get to Lemon Brook."
The girls were on their way to the trailer park when they passed by the hospital, Jimmy's group was just exiting the hospital when they came across the girls.
"Kankers!" Jimmy said in horror.
"Calm down Dutch, we trying to save our mom!" May said.
"Listen, we don't have much time." Janyse said, she turned to look at Sarah. "Your brother and his friends told everyone to meet up at the Peach Creek city limits, get everything you need from your homes and meet us there. Be careful."
Jimmy's group wasted no time in heading off.
"O-ok girls!" Sarah replied, surprised by how serious the Kankers were being. She and the rest of her group left back to the cul-de-sac.
The Kanker's group continued to the trailer park where Lenore Kanker was being pushed back by the zombies.
"Mom!" The sisters called out.
"Girls, you shouldn't have come back!" Lenore replied.
"Were not leaving without you mom!" Lee stated. Lenore grimaced at her daughters before giving a defeated sigh and smiling at them.
"Were meeting up at the city limits Ms. K, we gotta hurry!" Janyse announced.
"Looks like there's no fighting it, I'm with you girls." Lenore said, leaving with the girls.
Some time later, everyone had met up with their friends and families at the city limits.
"Baby sister!" Ed called out in joy, giving his family a group hug.
"Ok, we're all here, right? Jonny asked.
"Double D still hasn't talked to his parents yet!" Jimmy replied.
"If he can't reach them then we'll call them as well." Kevin's dad stated.
"Then what should we do now?" Matt asked.
"We need to find a safe location to stay in for a while at the very least." Double D answered.
"Look! Over there!" Jonny's dad called out. Everyone turned to see the R.C.M.P heading towards them with heavy weaponry and even tanks.
"Something about them just doesn't sit right with me..." Kevin's dad said.
What should everyone do?
Option A: Avoid the R.C.M.P
OptionB: Ask them for help.
Make your choice...
