Chapter 4: New gear

They had decided to immediately leave, they couldn't wait for Darks MP to fill up again because as time went on the number of zombies would only increase, and their school would only get more and more dangerous. Dark also didn't know how long it would take for his MP to fill up either.

"3....2....1....go!"

Harry unlocked and nervously swung the door open, causing one of the zombies on the other side to hurl itself through the now open door.

But the zombie was met with a fierce kick from Dark, launching the zombie into the opposite wall. Dark wasted no time and ran forward, striking the zombie in the face with another kick, and another, and another which caused the zombies head to cave in, splattering its foul brains along the wall.

Dark quickly raised up his guard and turned towards another zombie that was rushing him, once the zombie was in range it aimed a wild side swipe at Dark. But Dark raised an armoured arm and blocked the blow, then pushing the hand away and going in for a hard punch to the zombies nose.

Blood erupted from the zombies nose, staining its already bloodstained ripped shirt. Dark ducked under another wild swipe from the zombie and executed a brutal upper cut with an armoured fist, then finished the zombie with another brutal punch that spread its brains along the walls.

Another zombie rushed Dark from behind, but was clotheslined by a hit from Harry's table leg. Then Harry proceeded to repeatedly bash its brains out with the bloodied table leg.

"Come on Dark! Grab that baseball bat the zombie dropped and let's move out!"

Dark nodded and picked up a baseball bat that one of the zombies dropped, then he took the front of their formation. The group rapidly made their way down the dorm building, with Dark levelling up another two times and distributing four points to strength and two to stamina.

Their aim was the bike racks out the back of the school, with the bikes they planned to make their way to Harry's home.

Soon they made it out of the dorm building, Dark clutched his bloodied baseball bat and nervously looked around him. He soon spotted the bike racks and signalled Harry, who brought up up the other three girls.

Luckily there was only four zombies between them and the bike racks, but one of the zombies was different than the others.

This zombie had blue tinged skin and stood up straight compared to the other hunchbacked undead, he soon noticed Harry's group and ran at them whilst screeching terrifyingly.

"Shit! This ones fast." Dark thought at he got ready for the oncoming assault.

But the blue zombie suddenly changed direction, it was previously running at Dark but now it was running straight for Amelia.

Harry quickly positioned himself between the blue zombie and Amelia, but he was just batted out of the way by the zombie. 

Harry turned desperately to Dark, but he was already tangled up with another two zombies. This time, Dark wouldn't be there to save them.

Amelia screamed and desperately tried to scrambled away from the zombie, but it was just too fast. It leaped onto Amelia and tore out her throat with its jagged teeth, Amelia's horrified screams suddenly turned into a gurgle, then turned silent.

Harry and the other two girls could only stand there horrified as they watched her get devoured, but Dark had finally finished with the other two zombies.

"Harry! Deal with the other zombie, girls get the hell outta the way, leave blueberry to me."

Harry nodded and ran at the last 'ordinary zombie', he was too dazed to really care what he was doing so he followed Darks orders like they were his life line.

The two other girls quickly scrambled away from the blue zombie, even though they both contributed a few kills in the dorm, they both new that the blue zombie was way out of their league.

Dark ran up to the blue zombie that had just stood up from Amelia's corpse and swung his bat straight at the zombies head.

But unlike the other zombies that would just stand there with a dumb look on their face and take the hit, bluey ducked under and swiped for Darks stomach with a clawed hand.

Dark barely jumped out of the way, then he brought the bat swinging down onto the zombies head. But the zombie rolled out of the way and tackled Dark into the dirt, all Dark could do was hold the zombie by its arms away from his face.

The zombie once again displayed it's incredible strength and slowly got closer and closer to Darks shoulder, gnashing its teeth like it could already taste Dark's flesh. Dark started to struggle more and more, sweat glistening on his forehead, "Is this where I die? Well that'd suck because this is a pretty cliche death..." Dark thought as he struggled.

But Akane, seeing Darks plight, came to his rescue, she mustered up all her strength and hit the blue zombie across the jaw with her baseball bat. While this didn't do that much damage to it, it did manage to distract the zombie for a second.

Dark used that second to kick the zombie off him, the zombie flew three metres away and landed dextrously on his feet. But Dark managed to catch the zombie off guard when he hurled his baseball bat at it, hitting the zombie right between the eyes.

Dark used this opportunity to execute a brutal turn kick into the zombies elbow, breaking the joint and throwing the zombie off its feet.

Dark immediately  jumped in on the zombie and started repeatedly hitting it the face, giving it no time to recover.

After a few dozen consecutive hits the zombies face was barely recognisable, but it was still not dead. So Dark grabbed the zombies head with both hands and brutally smashed the back of its head against the concrete, again and again... And again.

Eventually the zombies skull finally couldn't take anymore punishment, so it exploded all over Dark and the concrete. But from within the zombie two objects flew out, and Dark levelled up again.

"Put all three skill points into strength." 

What Dark needed right now was more strength, he only barely made it out alive with the blue zombie.

Dark turned and saw Harry and the girls staring at him in shock, Dark saw the zombie Harry had been fighting on the ground with half a head.

Dark turned back to the blue zombies corpse and saw a strange glowing blue box about the size of his fist, and a skill book.

First he picked up the glowing blue box, which suddenly turned into two steel gauntlets. But these gauntlets were very different from the ones Dark was currently using.

Darks current gauntlets was only simple thin metal that covered his knuckles and reached his elbows, but these new gauntlets had gloves with metal protecting the fingers and small iron spikes jutting out from the knuckles. They also covered his shoulders and were made out of thick steel.

Dark immediately equipped the new gauntlets and gave the old ones to Harry, he felt the new gauntlets weight and smiled.

After this he grabbed the skill book and that familiar message popped up in his mind.

Skill: Speed overdrive 

Rank: D

Consumption: 80 MP

Description: Causes users overall speed to double

Dark looked at the skill book, then tossed it to Akane who accepted it gratefully. The others looked a bit jealous but didn't say anything.

"Think of it as a thank you, for earlier." Dark said while walking toward 

Dark jumped onto a bike and waited for the others to follow suit, once everyone was on a bike Harry started reminding them of the plan.

"O-okay everyone, I know that we are a bit shaken up by Amelia's death. But I'm sure that she's watching over us as we speak, let us survive, for Amelia!"

"Yeah!"

Dark rolled his eyes and waited for the next set of 'orders'.

"Now Dark will take the lead until we get out of the danger zone, remember that we have to stay in a tight group so no stragglers, we are only as fast as our slowest person. Once we have successfully left the danger zone I will take the lead and direct us to my house. My parents and family were overseas when this happened but there should be a spare key."

"Or we could break and enter.... Always wanted to do that..." Dark said helpfully.

Harry looked at Dark and raised an eyebrow, "Or that.... I guess... Well let's set off!"

The four of them started to pedal towards the schools back gates, there were few zombies standing in the way because this gateway was generally banned from student use.

They navigated their way around the zombies and made their way out the gate.
