Filling up Gas and Killing Insane Bastards!
Where we last pick up, Jaune and few of his friends are running on the road because they got separated from their group on the bus and will have to think of a way to get back to them soon.
"Wow, I almost forgot how tired my legs are when running too much." Ruby said, exhausted a little.
"We'll need another way to get to the bridge fast to meet up with the others." Neptune suggested.
"Yes, and I think I just found one." Weiss pointed at a motorcycle leaning in a light pole.
"Good thinking Weiss, we can use it to travel a lot faster than walking." Pyrrha praised her friend for spotting the motorcycle.
"Thank you." Weiss nodded.
"But the bike only has enough room for two people. How are we going to fix on that?" Ruby pointed out.
"Maybe we can find a sidecar for it." Neptune said looking around to see if he can find one.
"I'm not so sure, what do you think, Jaune?" Pyrrha asked, but she got no response and look to see Jaune is missing.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha gasped worry.
"Where'd he go!" Ruby freaked out.
"Girls, relax. He's right over there." Neptune pointed at where Jaune is coming walking toward while dragging another motorcycle.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha and Ruby ran toward Jaune giving him a squeezing hug. "Don't you dare scare us like that again!" They said at the same time.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to disappear on you like that, but I just wanted to get that." Jaune exclaimed and pointed his finger at the motorcycle he got.
"Isn't that the motorcycle the zombie by in?" Weiss asked.
"Yep, thought we could use a ride and it's a good thing you guys found another one." Jaune explained.
"That would be better, Weiss and Neptune can take that motorcycle while we take the other one. It's a win-win for traveling." Ruby planned.
"Good thinking, now let's get going." Jaune said.
"Wait, does anyone even know how to drive a motorcycle?" Weiss asked.
"My uncle gave me some lessons over the summer when I was in middle school in case, I decided to get a motorcycle." Neptune revealed, tapping his goggles.
"I played arcade video games on motorcycles, but I think I'll let Pyrrha drive it." Jaune chuckled nervous.
"Don't worry, I'll help teach you when we get the chance." Pyrrha promised, peak him on the cheek.
Neptune and Weiss sitting behind him start riding the motorcycle while Pyrrha gets started on hers while Jaune and Ruby sit behind her and closely to make sure they don't fall off.
"(I hope Aunt Shizuka and everyone are doing okay back on the bus.)" Jaune thought concerned for his group and everyone else on the bus.
(With Shizuka and Group)
"PLEASE, EVERYONE! WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL GET OUT OF HERE SAFETLY! DO NOT EXIT YOUR VEHICLES NO MATTER WHAT!" A policeman said speaking through a megaphone.
"Fuck, we're moving so sloooow like snails." Nora winced, with her head on Ren's shoulder.
"With the world ending by zombies, this is how the people would react." Coco stated.
"I don't think we'll be able to get to the bridge by dawn at this rate." Saeko pointed out.
Emerald is looking at her Scroll seeing the ID number of Cinder Fall with a sad look on her face.
"She hasn't picked up your call?" Mercury asked, already knowing the answer but decided to ask anyway.
"I'm just so worry about her. I would lose my mind of something bad happens to her like…" Emerald stopped herself from finishing that sentence.
"You got to relax. This is your mom we're talking about, she's tougher than nails and strong to raise a daughter after being pregnant with you at age fourteen. I'm sure she can survive a zombie apocalypse." Mercury reminded his friend how strong her mom is.
"She was fifteen, actually, but I guess you're right. My mom has always been the strong type, getting through her school days while taking care of me and she managed to get a high degree in her college graduation." Emerald smiled.
"And scary too, like the time we did that April Fool's Day prank on her car." Mercury remembered.
"How could I forget, she grounded me until I got my grades up in middle school and in summer vacation." Emerald chuckled.
"Guess everyone could use something to cheer us all up." Yang said, listening to those two in the back.
"If you're worry about Ruby, then I'm positive she'll be back with the others tomorrow afternoon." Sun believed.
"I should have gone with her, what if she needs me and I'm not there right now?" Yang asked worry.
"Come now, Miss Xiao Long, you can't expect to anyone to come to your aid when you're in trouble." Watts said, looking at his Scroll.
"Who asks you?" Blake glared.
"All I'm saying is that the only ones you can count on is yourself." Watts proclaimed.
"I'm sure you're an expert on that department." Sun growled.
"Ignore him, Sun. He's not worth anything." Blake claimed her boyfriend down, patting his head.
"Oh Jaune, I hope you're okay." Shizuka worried, looking out the window wondering if Jaune is doing okay with the others out there.
"Shizuka, I'm sure Jaune is okay. Right now, we have to focus on keeping all of us alive until we can meet up with them again." Glynda advised.
"I know, I know, I can't help but think about my precious Jaune-bunny." Shizuka said, leaning closer to the window and pressing her left breast against it.
(With Jaune's Group)
Pyrrha and Neptune are driving their motorcycles through the streets hoping to find any signs of survivors, but no luck as the places they passed by are abandoned and looked destroyed too.
"Hey guys, I'm getting hungry." Ruby winced as her stomach growls.
"I know, just hold on a little longer." Jaune said, comforting her.
"I think I see a food store up ahead." Neptune informed seeing one store.
"I think there's something else next to it." Weiss pointed seeing a head of a car sticking out from the corner.
"I see it, it's a police car!" Pyrrha smiled.
"Finally, we may get some help." Jaune sighed in relief.
The gang stop and walk toward the police car, but their hope soon turns to sadness when they see the other side of the car being half crushed by a truck that crashed into it probably not too long ago.
"Fuck… of course, that would happen." Jaune exclaimed.
"Let just see if the store has any food we can eat." Neptune said as he and Weiss walk to the store.
Pyrrha walk over the broken police car.
"What are you doing?" Jaune asked.
"Looking for something we can use; we might as well take what we can find out here." Pyrrha answered as she searches in the car.
Neptune and Weiss came back with some beef jerkies and some cans of soda, Pyrrha came back with only a few things like handcuffs, a stun baton, and a gun. And a few chewing gums too.
"These were the only things I could find." Pyrrha said, eating her jerky.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we can make great use of them once we get back with Velvet. Maybe we can forge them into something." Ruby said, looking at the handcuffs and stun baton.
"Let's be sure our bellies are full and if we need to make a bathroom break, just go into a randon building or do it behind a brush." Jaune suggested.
"Eww! I am NOT doing my business behind a brush outside!" Weiss grossed out of the idea.
"The world is becoming a wasteland, Weiss. I'm pretty sure no one would of where you go." Ruby pointed out.
"Anyway, I think we need to fill up the bikes soon. It looks like they're almost out of gas." Neptune said looking at the fuel meter.
"Right, we should get going." Jaune nodded.
After finish eating their all the food they could find, they rode on the road again hoping to find a nearby gas station and no zombies around the area, lucky for them one gas station appear in their sight with some lights still on and they stop though upon closer look the place looks almost trashed.
"Man, I know working at gas station is a dead-end job, but I don't think it deserves this kind of punishment." Neptune commented.
"It's too late to complain about it now, let just fill up the bikes and get moving. I don't want to be here any longer than we need to be." Weiss said.
"I'll go see if there are any food left we can bring along for the others." Ruby walked into the convenience store of the gas station.
"So far, no zombies, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't let our guards down." Jaune stated, holding onto his sword and shield.
Neptune looks around and gasp but quickly cover his mouth to keep the noise from coming out and tap Weiss's shoulder to get her attention, he points at two nearby zombies walking around lifeless. Jaune and Pyrrha saw them too and everyone stand absolutely still to not make a single noise and hopefully the zombies will go somewhere else.
"(Hurry up in there, Ruby!)" Weiss thought hoped the black-red hair girl will come back soon.
Meanwhile, Ruby is looking around carrying a bag of mini cookies she found and chips as she looks around trying to pick what kind of sodas to get for her friends and wonder if Weiss is okay with drinking soda since she prefer drinking tea.
Then suddenly Ruby someone grabs Ruby's hand and cover her with another hand dropping the snacks she got and being dragged outside while trying to scream for help.
Jaune's ear pick up a mumbling sound and turns around.
"Ruby!" Jaune gasped as the others turn to see Ruby being grabbed by a white guy with glasses.
"Stay back or else I'll shoot this girl!" The glasses guy threatened holding a gun to Ruby's head.
"Please, don't hurt her. Whatever it is you want, maybe we can"
"I want your damn bike, give one to me!" The glasses guy demanded.
"Sir, please, we don't need to be so negative. We can get through this if we all work together." Pyrrha hoped to reason with this man.
"Work together? That's what everyone at my old job said, but when zombies start coming up, my "friends" betrayed me and try feeding me to the zombies. Well, fuck them bitches! I survive and got back at those bastards making them feel betrayal in the afterlife!" The glasses guy angered.
"You… you killed them!" Jaune shocked.
"Damn right, I did! And I killed some small fries too who got in my way!" The glasses guy mentioned.
"Unbelievable, you really are beyond saving." Weiss pointed her rapier at him.
"Hey, hey, don't try anything funny or do you want your friend to be food for the fucking undead?" The glasses guy said ready to pull the trigger.
Ruby look at Jaune with a serious expression telling him to take this guy out and not to worry about her, he got the message and start thinking of ways to save her. Charging at him is out of the question because the guy has the gun point-blank at Ruby's head and they would save her in time, then he got the idea when he remembers the little gun Pyrrha got from the police car.
"Okay, just calm down. I'll give you the keys." Jaune said reaching for his back pocket.
"Jaune!" Pyrrha gasped.
"Don't worry, Pyrrha, I know what I'm doing." Jaune whispered.
"Hurry up, I ain't got all night." The glasses guy shouted.
"Dude, easy with the shouting. You'll draw in the zombies." Neptune warned, that was something Jaune needs.
"Yeah, like the ones behind you." Jaune said.
"Wait, what?" The glasses guy turned around to see the zombies.
BANG
The glasses guy's widen as the sound of gunshot and feeling his body moving backward by the force of the bullet hitting his shoulder as his back hits the gas filler, this loosen his grip on Ruby for her to break free and elbow the guy in the stomach.
"You… son of a" The glasses guy never finish that cures as Ruby swing kick him in the face and slash his chest down-right with her scythe.
"Life is precious, and you don't deserve it." Ruby glared her silver eyes at the guy scaring like he's seeing the Grim Reaper right in front of him.
"I doubt you'll live after this, but never EVER miss with one of my girls!" Jaune angered, pull Ruby close to him much to her shock and her cheeks blushing.
"Come on guys, let get out of here." Jaune said and they soon got on their bikes.
But before they leave, Jaune slams his shield on the metal pillar hard making a loud noise for the zombies despite the gunfire he shot to come to eat the glasses guy, they hurry out before they get surrounded.
"No, wait… don't leave me…" The glasses guy begged the teens to take him with them, but they didn't look back.
Soon, he sees the zombies coming at him and bends down to start eating him as the only thing he can do at the moment is screaming in pain and begging God to have mercy on him.
As the teens rode on the road again with the motorbikes full of gas, Jaune look at Ruby being quiet and clenching onto her scythe.
"You thinking about that guy?" Jaune asked.
"Did I… really do the right thing, killing him?" Ruby asked.
"I know, it wasn't easy for me either shooting the gun. I could've killed him but all I was thinking about was saving you and he admitted about killing others before, so I don't think letting him live was an option. He would've been eaten by the zombies anyway." Jaune said to calm Ruby's mind.
"I guess you're right, that man lost his life and his mind. I think the world has enough problems to deal with." Ruby sighed.
"And Jaune."
"Yes?" Jaune wondered what Ruby is thinking of right now.
"What did you meant by "one of my girls" back there?" Ruby asked causing Jaune to gasp.
"Well, I was… huh…?" Jaune tried to think of something and never really realizes of what he said until now.
"Yes, tell us what you meant, Jaune." Pyrrha teased making him blush harder as red as Ruby's cape.
(Morning, with Skizuka's Group)
"What did you say?" Yang asked angry at Watts.
"What are you so angry about, I was just suggesting about my being leader since we seem to be lacking one." Watts shrugged.
"And your idea of treating us like science lab rats is leadership?" Ren glared.
"It's to help improve humanity in order to fight back against the zombie infestation." Watts stated.
"More like bullshit." Mercury crossed his arms.
"No way I'm going with you! Anywhere where you're not around!" Velvet said angry.
"Oh please, you couldn't last an hour out there alone." One male student mocked.
"She won't be alone because I'll be with her." Coco corrected, placing a hand on Velvet's shoulder as she smiles.
"And I'm not going anywhere without my little Jaune!" Shizuka said a little serious.
"If you don't like being around me, maybe you should just leave." Watts dared with a smirk.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Ruby has experience killing a non-zombie person after being held captive by the glasses guy and letting him get eaten by the zombies, and it looks like Shizuka's group are having some disagreement with Watts forcing them to make a tough decision though I think they already made up their minds. And it looks like what Jaune what is about to come to realization with Pyrrha and some of the girls too.
