《Undead Nightmare》Chapter 8: DEAD In The Water

Evacuation Site: Tokyo Bay

Standing on a platform looking down on a large group of men and women soldiers is an older man wearing the uniform of a Japanese general uniform. Standing in the large group of men and women soldiers is both Remi and Koturo. They've come down from their perch on the abandoned aircraft carrier to hear the general of the JDF give them and the other soldiers their next orders.

"It has been given to us from JDF Command that the president of the United States plans to launch their IBM missiles at all of their enemies" the general tells the soldiers

Behind the general a projector shows an image of the entire map of Japan appears

"The missiles will most likely fly over Japan and some of them will detonate" the general says showing the missiles trajectory on the map of Japan

"But sir, why would they do that?" A soldier asks the general

"Our intelligence has informed us that the president of the United States has been infected and the U.S Airforce One has fallen" the general answers

Whispers amongst the soldiers can be heard as another man walks on to the stage this time wearing the uniform of a commander

"Commander Lee will give you the rest of the report on the infection and the evacuation of the country" the general tells the soldiers

All of them give him a salute as he walks off the stage leaving only the commander

"I am sure it is already known to you but the entire world has been infected by this unknown virus, our research on it has brought up some excellent information" the commander tells the soldiers

Behind the commander images of the undead appear on the screen

"As we all know, the virus infects the human body and kills all the cells in the subject's brain killing the host, within seconds the host died and their corpse is reanimated" the commander tells the solider

Soon a video appears behind the commander showing a dead body with a large bite mark on the arm slowly getting up as it becomes an undead

"The only ways to kill it are to destroy the brain of remove the head from the body, however be careful with that last one, we've had cases of the head still being alive similar to when the head of a snake is cut off" the commander tells the soldiers

A map of Japan appears on the screen behind the commander but this time it is completely covered in a red color

"All areas of Japan are filled with the undead, it is unknown the ratio between those who are alive and those who've become infected, our goal is to evacuate as many people as we can but as our scans show there aren't many people left so we will most likely be leaving early" the commander tells the soldiers

Remi didn't want to hear that, that meant that her brother and his friends had even less time to get to the evacuation site

"Heads up to all the scouts, we've noticed that the virus is mutating in certain subjects" the commander tells the soldiers

"What kind of mutations?" One of the soldiers asks the commander

"Nothing too major, just harder skin, stronger bones and a little bit faster, if we see more severe mutations we will inform you all" the commander answers

With that, the commander dismissed the soldiers and sent them all back to their posts. Remi and Koturo grabbed their guns before walking to their new post. Remi was worried that Y/N and his friends weren't going to be able to make it to the evacuation site and escape with her and Koturo.

"Don't worry Remi, he'll make it" Koturo tells Remi trying to cheer her up

"I just can't shake this feeling that something bad is going to happen, especially with those missiles that are going to be flying overhead" Remi says with a sigh

"Remeber what I told you Remi, if shit hits the fan, I'll leave with you to go and find your little brother and his friends" Koturo tells Remi

"I know you will Koturo, I know you will" Remi says with a sigh

The two continue to walk until both of the commander and general steps out in front of them and stops both of them from continuing

"Commander Lee, General Homuro, sir" both Remi and Koturo say giving the two men a salute

"At ease soliders" the general tells the both of them

"Is there something you wanted to talk to us about sirs?" Remi asks the two men

"We were just headed to our new position" Koturo says

"Word just came in from the higher ups, they need to trained soldiers for an important mission" the commander tells Remi and Koturo

"What kind of mission sir?" Remi asks the commander

"You'll see solider, you both will see" the general says, not answering Remi's question

"Now, both of you report to the armory and gather all of the necessary supplies and weapons you will need for this mission" the commander tells Remi and Koturo

The two give both of the men a salute before heading off to the JDF armory like they were told to do

"And once you've done that, report back to us so we can give you your new mission" the general tells Remi and Koturo

"Sir yes sir" both girls respond giving a salute

_________________________________________

Crossing a river to get to the otherside is Y/N and the others in the humvee that Shizuka is driving. While Shizuka drives the others are busy relaxing since they really hadn't had a moment to do so. Hanging from the top of the humvee is everyone's clothes from shirts and pants to undergarments. Inside of the humvee, we find Rei and Saya taking inventory of all the ammo and guns they have after the fight that night where they escaped Shizuka's friend's apartment. Sleeping inside of the humvee is Y/N and on his lap is Zeke the little dog he saved. Sitting on the top of the humvee is Kohta and Alice along with Takashi. Driving is Shizuka and next to her is Saeko looking out the window. Everyone is relaxing and enjoying themselves while they still can with everything else going on.

"Guys, we're coming up on the other side of the river" Shizuka tells everyone

"Tatagami-san, wake up" Saeko tells Y/N

"Don't worry Busujima, I heard her" Y/N says as he slowly sits up

He then stretches as Zeke wakes up and stretches with him, letting out a good yawn. Once Shizuka pulls up on the other side of the river, everyone gets out of the humvee and puts on their clothes. Seeing that there wasn't any undead around for a good distance, Y/N decides that it is a good time to teach the others how to use their newly acquired weapons. Since he and Kohta already knew how to use them, they would be the ones to teach Takashi and the others how to use them. Before that, Y/N need to really relieve himself, going off to the distance Y/N releaved himself along with Zeke. Once that was finished, Y/N went back to the others and began to teach them how to use the new firearms effectively.

Y/N decided that it was good to teach Saeko and Shizuka how to use a handgun compared to the other guns they had with them. Y/N handed both of them each a handgun and began to show them how to use them. Shizuka was a bit hesitant to use the handgun at first while Saeko didn't know what to do with it.

"I'm not really good with guns Tatagami, they aren't really my thing" miss Shizuka says trying to hand me back the handgun

"Look miss Shizuka, the others and I don't mind protecting you but there will come a time when we won't be able to and I would feel much better if I knew that you could at least use a gun to protect yourself" I told miss Shizuka

"I still just don't know" miss Shizuka said unsure

"He is right miss Shizuka, you'll need as many skills as you can have to protect yourself to stay alive when we aren't there" Busujima told miss Shizuka

"I guess it couldn't hurt to learn how to use a gun" miss Shizuka said

I was glad that Busujima was able to help me convince miss Shizuka to want to learn how to use a firearm. We were going to be making good progress at this rate. Next was Busujima, she had the potential to quickly learn how to use a firearm. I showed her and miss Shizuka how to hold the handgun as well as how to fire it and even reload it. I looked over and saw Hirano showing Komuro how to use the shotgun and Miyamoto how to use a rifle.

"Why wouldn't I just aim for the head with this thing?" Komuro asked Hirano

"Shotguns have a wide spread along with some serious recoil, aiming for the head will just cause you to miss and hurt yourself" Hirano answered explaining to Komuro why you shouldn't try to aim for the head with a shotgun

I decided to step in and give some advice to Komuro that would help him out just little a bit

"If you don't mind me stepping in, Komuro here is some advice, aim small, miss small" I told Komuro

"What does that mean?" Komuro asked confused

"It means that if you try to go for a smaller target, you'll most likely miss that target, so aim for something bigger" I answered explaining what I had told him meant

"I guess that makes sense" Komuro said with a shrug

"When it comes to shotguns like this one, it's best to aim for the center mass, the spread will most definitely destroy the head in the process" I told Komuro demonstrating what I meant with my trench gun

"You know Y/N, you really know your stuff" Hirano said complimenting me

"I'm sure you know better" I replied

Once Hirano and I had trained the others as best as we could, it was time that we headed out and began heading to Takagi's house. Apparently it wasn't all that far away from where we were which meant that we could get there quickly, do what we needed to do and head out to the evacuation site. I had hoped that it was still there and that the JDF hadn't already left at this point. I really wanted to see my sister and see that she was safe, I also knew what she would do if the JDF were to leave before I got there.

"Everyone ready to go?" Komuro asked us

"Everything and everyone is packed up so let's get a move on before any zombies show up" I said getting in the humvee

"I want to get out of here as quickly as we can" Takagi said

"Don't worry Takagi, we'll get to your house before you know it" Hirano said to Takagi

With that, everyone got into the humvee and miss Shizuka began to drive off to Takagi's house. Hopefully we would be able to get there before the sun went down.

Time Skip

Overpass: City

As we drove along to Takagi's house, all of us quickly noticed a lot more zombies walking around. Some of them went up to the humvee while others continued to shamble around. As to not draw the attention of more, the others and I quickly and quietly killed the zombies that got in our way. While the road was clear and the zombies weren't being much of a problem, I began to get a real bad feeling.

"I don't know about you guys but I am starting to get a bad feeling about this" I said to the others as I looked out at street

"I am also starting to get that feeling as well" Busujima said

"Let's focus on killing the zombies and keeping them out of the way of the humvee" Komuro said

"Are you sure you don't want us to go another way?" I asked Komuro

"I know you've got a bad feeling about this, so do I but this is the fastest way to Takagi's house" Komuro answered

"Let's just focus and keep going on our way" Takagi said

"Don't worry Takagi, we'll get to your house but I don't want to rush and end up getting in a bad situation" I said to Takagi

We then continued on our way until we got to an overpass, miss Shizuka stopped and didn't go further

"Why are we stopped?" Takagi asked getting annoyed

"Look" Miyamoto said pointing out ahead of us

Down the road and under the overpass was a large barrier made of barbed wire. It blocked the way and went all the way down the road, it also prevented us from going any further.

"This is unexpected" miss Shizuka said

"How did this get here?" Takagi asked irritated

"I have a good feeling the authorities or at least a group of survivors set this up to keep the zombies back" I said looking at the setup of the barrier

"Now what do we do?" Takagi asked groaning

"Why don't we just drive over it" miss Shizuka suggested

"I don't know if we should do that" I said

"The humvee could make it over the barrier" Komuro said

Looking at the humvee and knowing that it could possibly make it over the barrier. I also saw that there was a more larger amount of zombies walking over to the humvee. We need to get a move on before we got swarmed.

"I guess we can go for it" I said

"Lets hurry and get out of here" Takagi said

"Hold on everyone" miss Shizuka said as she put the humvee in reverse before driving forwards to the barrier

The humvee began to drive over the barbed wire barrier, it shook a lot and made plenty of noise which brought in zombies. The shaking got bad and eventually Miyamoto fell off the humvee into the street. Komuro tried to grab Miyamoto and stop her from falling but he failed. The humvee also ended up getting caught in the wire and the tires got stuck. Zombies were coming from everywhere and it looked like we had no other option but to fight.

"Looks like we're dead in the water here" I said getting out of the humvee

"I'll watch the rear" Hirano said grabbing his gun

"You do that and keep miss Shizuka and Alice safe" I said pulling out my galil

"I'll be here with Hirano" Takagi said

"I'm gonna go to Rei" Komuro said

"Here, take this and cover us" I said tossing him the sniper rifle

"I've got your back" Komuro said before he ran off with the sniper rifle and shotgun to Miyamoto's side

The rest of us got into position and began to fight off the zombies while miss Shizuka tried to get the humvee free. All of us were surrounded and we did all that we could to keep the zombies at bay. As we killed the zombies, I began to notice that not everyone really had the hang of using their weapons. Hirano and I were the only ones who knew what we were doing with the guns. Busujima was moving around bashing the heads of zombies in while also using her handgun. Takagi and Hirano were doing all that they could to keep the zombies away from the humvee.

I was running around keeping the zombies back using the galil and the MP5. I was firing rounds as fast as I could killing any zombies that came towards me. I looked over and saw something that I couldn't exactly put into words. Hell what I saw was something that no man or science could explain. Over where Komuro was firing rounds from the sniper rifle at incoming zombies. That seemed normal, however he was using Miyamoto's chest as a stand for the sniper rifle. As he fired a round from the sniper rifle, the bullet maneuvered between Miyamoto's breasts. Physics weren't supposed to work like that, especially human body physics.

Regardless of that and how many zombies we killed, it seemed like their numbers weren't going down. We were running out of ammo and the others weren't able to use their weapons effectively. If I didn't do something, all of us weren't going to make it through this fight. I was unloading round after round and it seemed like nothing I did worked.

"I don't know how long we can keep this thing up" Hirano said as he kept shooting zombies

"There's too many of them" Takagi said as she reloaded her smg

"I'm out of sniper rounds" Komuro said as he got Miyamoto up and back towards the humvee

"I'm giving the humvee all I can but it isn't budging" miss Shizuka said

I decided to step up and lead the zombies away from everyone else

"I'm gonna lead the zombies away while you guys get the humvee out of the wire" I told the others

"Tatagami, you can't do that, you could die" Hirano said warning me

"Hirano is right, that's suicide" Komuro said agreeing with Hirano

"I know it is but it's the only shot you have of getting out of here" I told them pulling out my repeater

"If you are going then I am going to go with you Tatagami-san" Busujima said

I could see that there was no point in trying to talk her out of it, so I let her come with me. So the two of us ran down the street, getting the attention of all the zombies. I began to fire my repeater killing as many zombies as could while getting their attention. Busujima was killing any zombies that were getting close to the both of us, as we ran down the street. Eventually I found a staircase that would lead Busujima and I to higher ground.

"That way Busujima" I said pointing towards the staircase

"I will follow your lead" Busujima said

The two of us ran towards the staircase and jumped the over the bars, I shot and killed some zombies that followed behind us. I looked over and saw that the others hadn't been able to get the humvee. A large group of zombies was moving towards them as well as towards Busujima and I. It was then that the zombies heading towards the others were blasted away by streams of high powered water. Up on the overpass a woman appeared with a group of fire fighters and other people. The woman ordered the fire fighters to keep the zombies away from the others, while a group of other people freed the humvee from the wire.

"They're safe" Busujima said as she killed a zombie

We quickly found out that the woman on the overpass was actually Takagi's mom. She ordered the fire fighters and other people to cover Takagi and the others as they drove out of there.

"Tatagami, Busujima, you guys get out of here and we'll meet up at Takagi's house" Komuro called out to Busujima and I

"Keep your head you guys" Hirano said to us

"Don't worry about us, we'll meet again real soon" I said as I killed five zombies

"Come on Tatagami-san, we need to escape" Busujima said as she backed up towards the stairs

More and more zombies came towards us, Busujima and I needed to escape as quickly as we could. I killed a few more zombies and the two of us ran up the stairs. I closed the gate, to try and keep them back as well as buy the two of us time. Both of us ran down the street as fast as we could, we needed to get away from there before the zombies broke down the gate. Busujima and I were going to head to Takagi's house but for now we needed to find a place where we could be safe. As we ran, I looked back and saw the zombies pilling up on the locked gate trying to push it down.

"This way Tatagami-san" Busujima said grabbing my arm and leading me down another street

A few zombies came out of nowhere and tried to grab them but Busujima and I took care of them rather quickly. Busujima with her wooden sword and I with both my tanto and wakizashi since I was pretty much out of ammo. We quickly noticed that there weren't any zombies following behind us but we weren't going to take any chances.

"Let's keep moving, I don't want to waste any time getting to Takagi's house" I said to Busujima

"I will follow behind you" Busujima said
