Shocking News of the Dead
Neptune, Weiss, Coco, and Velvet are seen hiding behind a corner looking out for more zombies as they can there are only two of them as one is walking slowly near the lockers and the other staring at a window, Weiss is carefully dipping a towel into a bucket of water while observing the zombie near the lockers.
"Hey Weiss, what's the hold up. I thought we needed to get moving." Coco asked whispering.
"There's something about the zombies I want to check out first." Weiss said, she threw the wetted towel at the zombie that's staring at the window landing on its head, yet the zombie did nothing as it couldn't even feel the towel touching his head.
"See that, the zombie didn't react to the wet towel I threw meaning that most of their senses a human would have died when they became zombies like their eyes as they can't see a damn thing." Weiss explained.
"Okay, so they're literally brain dead, but they're still super strong and won't stay less their heads are blown off." Coco stated.
"Hold on, when you said, "most of their senses" are dead does that mean there is one that still works?" Velvet asked.
"That's why I'm using these towels for." Weiss said as she wets another little towel and throws it hard at the locker making a little bang sound that got the two zombies' attention and they start clawing on the locker.
"Yep, the only thing these things sense are sounds meaning they'll respond to anything that make noise for them to follow." Weiss clenched.
"Well, glad we were able to solve that little mystery and now I really like to get out of here before we get caught by either the zombies or anyone who's still alive have become psychopaths." Neptune pointed out whispering.
"Yeah, we better get moving to the teacher room on the first floor. They'll probably be some zombies along the stairway, so let's take them out quick." Velvet suggested and the others nodded as they quickly make their way to the stairs.
(With Saeko, Nora, Ren, and Shizuka)
"Hey, could you guys slow down, please! I can't keep up like this!" Shizuka complained as she and others are running through the hallway though it's a little difficult for the school nurse.
"Well, that's what you get for trying to dress fancy with the skirt and high-heels. Seriously, what's up with that?" Nora asked and Saeko push one zombie that was coming at them with her wooden sword and Nora smashes the head with her sledgehammer.
"Saeko, how come you're not killing them like you did before. Wouldn't be easy to make sure they stay down for good?" Nora asked.
"Believe me, I would do it without a second thought, but these zombies come on pacts and they're a lot stronger as you have experienced it." Saeko explained.
"That's true, even if we lessen the numbers of zombies there's no telling if they'll come together." Ren added.
"Well, at least we're wearing clothing that gets in the way of sampling running away." Nora looked back at Shizuka.
"Hey, these are my working clothes I wear every day for my nurse job!" Shizuka said then she suddenly trips over from the bottom length of her skirt falling face-first on the floor causing the others to stop.
"See, I told you so." Nora said.
"Not now, Nora." Ren stated they have more important things to do right now.
Shizuka sits up almost like she's about to cry but try her best to keep herself calm, then Saeko kneels down on Shizuka's level grab the skirt ripping from the bottom to the top exposing a line of her purple panties.
"AHH?! Are you crazy?!" Shizuka gasped.
"There, that way you won't have to worry about tripping anymore." Saeko stated as she gets up.
"But… but this skirt is pure cotton all the way from Italy! And it was a gift too!" Shizuka explained.
"I heard you have a nephew who goes here, tell me: is your clothes more important than his life?" Saeko asked which made Shizuka shock thinking about Jaune.
For as far as she can remember, Jaune has always been precious to her and if anything were to happen to him in some way, she would drop everything and rush to Jaune's aide in a matter of a heartbeat.
"You're right, I promise my sister that I watch out for Jaune like he was my own… okay, let's keep going!" Shizuka determined as she stands up.
"(This Jaune boy must be really something to get a clumsy nurse like her taking things serious.)" Saeko thought and then the group a what sounds like a gunshot.
"That's coming from the facticity room." Ren pointed out.
"But isn't that where Jaune said to go to?" Nora asked a little nervous.
"Then we better get moving!" Saeko said as they start running.
(With Weiss's Group)
Velvet is sitting on one knee in front of the group shooting down the zombies one or two nails at a time and few more are coming.
"Damn it, I thought there would be less zombies here." Neptune freaked out.
"Life can disappoint anyone like this, so just shut the fuck up and help Velvet deal with the ones here." Coco ordered before smacking down a zombie with her weapon.
"Hey Weiss, I'm almost out of ammo and the rest are in your bag." Velvet informed before shot down another zombie.
"Okay." Weiss quickly reached into the bag she's been carrying for the ammo, then she saw a shadow coming on her left. She turns to see another zombie is right next to her from the corner.
"AAAAAAHHHHH?!" Weiss screamed so loud; it can be heard from outside where Saeko's group are crossing the bridge to the other building of the school.
"Weiss?!" Neptune turned to see a zombie coming to Weiss she tries to reach for her rapier, but then she fell on her butt and crawl away.
"Get… get away… get away from me!" Weiss cried as the zombie reach its dirty hands toward her, her hand finally grabs the rapier and starts stabbing the zombie multiple times while screaming in fear and some blood dripping on her though she was too scared to even notice.
Neptune saw how Weiss is freaking out and quickly push the zombie away with his trident before grabbing her hand with the rapier to stop the stabbing motion.
"Weiss. Weiss, it's okay now. You got him." Neptune said trying to calm Weiss down and just in time as Jaune and Saeko's group have met up to the teacher room.
"Weiss!" Ruby gasped.
"About damn time you guys got here!" Coco said.
"Less talking, more killing zombies!" Nora excited.
"Just make sure there aren't any more coming this way." Jaune said before they started taking out the zombies near the room and double seeing there are no more zombies heading this way.
"The area is secured." Ren reported.
"Oh, Jaune, I was so worried that something happened to you, but I'm glad you're not a zombie!" Shizuka hugged Jaune's face into her breasts.
"Uh, it's good to see you doing well too, Aunt Shizuka." Jaune said though a little embarrass from the hug.
"Weiss, are you okay?" Ruby asked checking on her friend.
"I… I'm fine… just need to… center myself or whatever…" Weiss said as they can see the fear still in her eyes and looking at herself in a mirror that she's covered in blood.
"Come on, let see if we can get you clean up." Neptune helped Weiss stand up and everyone saw the door to the teacher room is opening, they thought it could be another zombie.
"Oh, thank goodness you're all safe!" Glynda sighed in relief, revealing herself and everyone calms down.
"Glynda! You're safe!" Shizuka cheered and got smack in the head by Glynda.
"Quiet! We don't want more zombies coming with you shouting!" Glynda scolded and gestures everyone to come inside.
Once all the group are inside, Glynda lock the door and look out through the blinds of the window making sure there aren't anymore more zombies coming, once she gave the okay everyone felt relief and began resting even though it may only be for a little while. They were even surprise to already found Sun, Yang, and Blake being in the teacher room too as they got here a little early than the others.
"Yang! Oh, I'm so glad you're safe!" Ruby hugged her big sister.
"Me too, little sis, I was SO afraid that I would never see you again." Yang smiled as she returns the hug.
"We figured that you would bring others here, but never this many." Blake pointed out the large group.
"Guest you could say it was destiny that we found each other." Ren stated.
"I'm just glad everyone is okay from all this… death uprising." Pyrrha said.
"To be honest, I'm surprise you got here safely, Miss Goodwitch. Weren't with Headmaster Ozpin?" Jaune wondered about that.
"…Before the zombies broke into the office, Headmaster Ozpin showed me a secret passageway that got me to the other side of the school. Unfortunately, Ozpin didn't make it as he made himself a shield for my escape." Glynda explained with a single tear about drip from her face.
Everyone went silent, all those who goes to Beacon Academy or who were once students there knew how much of a man Ozpin was; he was a kind man who's always willing to help anyone in need including the poor and want to give everyone a chance to walk their own path toward the future, he had wisdoms that were decades ahead of himself like he experienced things before anyone and shares them to others even listening to other people's problems.
Ozpin was one of the most or the kindest man in the world, most of the students in the teacher room can remember meeting Ozpin either in the hallway or somewhere else outside of school giving them good advice.
"Then we better make sure his death was not in vein." Jaune determined, shocking Glynda a bit and Sun smirks as he pound his fist to his palm.
"Aunt Shizuka, it looks like you won't be needing your car anymore." Jaune said.
"Huh?" Shizuka confused.
"Think about it, your car isn't big enough to carry all of us, so we'll be a bigger ride." Jaune pointed out.
"I agree, we can use the buses we used for field trips or whenever one of the clubs have a big event coming." Saeko agreed.
"But don't we need the keys for one of the buses?" Coco asked.
"I can hotwire it." Sun volunteered.
"That won't be necessary since I have one key for one of the buses, which should be big enough for all of us." Glynda revealed holding the key in her hand.
"Well, at least we haven an escape plan once we're all rested." Weiss said as looks like a little clearer on the face.
"You feeling okay now, Weiss?" Ruby asked concern.
"I'm still shaken up from before, but I won't let it stop me from surviving with my friends." Weiss grinned.
"Any plan on where we're going exactly?" Neptune asked.
"Well, first we're going to see if our families are okay if the zombies haven't gotten to them. We'll start with the families that are closest to here and pick up anyone who needs help too." Jaune explained the plan so far.
"We can also find a new place to stay for a while and we'll need to make sure have enough supplies for a long road trip including getting more weapons if we need to." Velvet added.
"Okay, once we're all ready we should head out as soon as possible." Jaune nodded and notice Pyrrha staring at something with a frightening look on her face.
"Pyrrha, what's wrong?" Jaune asked and look to where Pyrrha is staring and his eyes widen.
Soon, everyone started seeing what the couples are seeing as it's the TV of the teacher room that it was probably left on earlier by another teacher before the zombies appearing, Saeko quickly grabs the remote and turn the volume up for everyone to hear and see what's going on.
"As you all no doubt experience not too long ago that this sudden appearance of these… zombies, I know that's hard to believe but even I seen them, and the police are doing their best to handle the outbreak." The newswoman reported with policemen behind her.
"Outbreaks? What outbreaks?" Jaune asked freaking out.
"It's just as I feared, the zombies are spreading faster than what's been happening here." Weiss mentioned in fear.
"You mean… like outside the city?" Nora asked as Ren holds her.
"A total of 10,000 have suffered through this unknown disease and-oh my, I think something is happening." The camera moved to where two body bags are being move to an ambulance truck raising up, but they go back down when the police shot their heads.
As the newswoman was about to say more of the scene, she become scare as she reports something is coming out of the trees and seem to be walking toward her, the camera drop to the ground though the others were able to see one zombie go after a policeman and the broadcast was cut off.
"Oh man, that's nuts…" Sun commented.
"If has been happening before then haven't we heard about this?" Yang asked.
"It's because they don't want to cause a panic, they're trying to handle the situation the best they can without getting everyone freak out otherwise panic can cause chaos." Blake explained.
"Just like those Dead Rising video games Sun and I played. Only this is real." Neptune feared.
"Wait, what about what's going on outside the city?" Ruby asked, referring to other news in other countries.
Soon, the answer was spoken to them when Saseko changed the channel to other news channels and they were in complete shock that Japan isn't the only country suffering through this zombie outbreak, but probably the world too as they see reports and pictures of more zombies around.
"No way, none of it was like this when I checked the internet this morning." Velvet shocked.
"To think those fucking dead creeps can cause this much damage in a few hours." Coco clutched her fists.
"This is so MESS UP?!" Yang slammed her fists on a desk like she's trying to break it.
"Yang Xiao Long, breaking school property isn't going to solve anything." Glynda scolded.
"We're all shock and angry of what's happening to the world, but right now the only thing can do is get out of this school together." Blake stated stroking Yang's hair gentle.
"She's right, these zombies can't be stop by normal means except for destroying the heads and I don't think any medical knowledge will be of help to us either." Weiss pointed out.
"Plus, the sun is setting, if we wish to move away from here, I believe now would be the time." Ren pointed out.
"He's right, we need to move… now." Jaune determined as everyone pack their stuff and grabbed their weapons as they ready themselves to fight through more zombies getting to the bus.
