Floating in nowhere. He felt like he couldn't breath but there wasn't a need to breath now. Buoyant on wherever he's on, only the voice of an angry woman pierced through his bliss.
"Wake the hell up-Slacker!!"
"Come one get the hell up"
"Woi woi get up!!" she repeated slams fist after fist into Hino's forehead-not waiting to stop before going at it again and again. "Stop it. Your gonna kill him" Jesse cries out to her before shivering in panicked once more-"Shut up!! Crying bitch, Hino's mine and he's gonna get up. I know it" Princi yells back before punching the unconscious Hino again.
"Hey should you be doing something?" Cob whispered towards Fuji. "I already have a solution" he smile-opening his lighter as he said.
Walking over to a hurtling Princi-pushing her aside before step over Hino and lighting a fire an inch away from his nose. "What are you trying here!!" Con questions watching the whole thing unfold-"simple. I am gonna bug him till he wake up" Fuji smiles.
"Fucking genius" Princi muttered. "Don't just let him!!" Cob objects. Face filled unruly excitement without any morals, jaws drop at a wonderful idea-"Your light his nose then move and I punch him!!" she smiles. Placing a hand on her shoulder and the other pointing at towards her. "Your a genius" Fuji claims. "Lets do this" they both agreed.
"How does this make any sense?"
"Thats your friend ain't it?"
"Where is the damn correlation?" Cob question watching the two of them taking turns waking Hino up.
"i-is he-e going to be alright" Jesse nervously asked, occasionally taking quick glances at her boyfriend along with Ken and the others discussing current situations, with Mr Pink standing mysteriously in the corner of their hiding post, smoking. Knowing Hino could be dead because of her really brings weight down on her, unable to hold on she sobs on the floor leaving Cob to comfort her.
"Woi woi please be quiet I need some sleep here" Hino whispered before tasting the shoes of Princi. "You fucking bitch what was that even for?" he shouts getting on his feet as Fuji and Princi wrapped themselves around him. "Glad your back. Hey you know what this means?" she asked leaving Hino to wonder what. "It means god has brought you back in order to assist me" she proudly proclaimed "Gods chosen one" .
"More like God's final choice" Fuji answers, snatching Hino closer to him. "Give him back. He recruited him first" she yells pulling against the confused Hino's legs-"Nah I think your mistaken, I am the one who woke him up" Fuji retorts "Plus he's just like me." he claims.
"How?" Hino questions. Nervously Fuji answers "Your like exotic figurines?". Breaking free from their tight grabs not before throwing a punch into Fuji's face, leaving him laying on the ground for his glasses. "I can't afford that shit" he yells back, then turning towards Princi "Sorry I died" he admits.
"Well don't next time" she answers, "How's the arm?".
"Arm?" he question somehow he couldn't recall what's even wrong with it, noticing their looks of concern he looks at it. Deep cuts and tears all over the sleeves but no visible scars on the surface, What happened?
Looking at all their faces. A concerned Cob-a panicked and sobbing Jesse-a fascinated Fuji and a wide smile Princi, all looking at him.
Sighing. He walks over towards a a pieces of a broken chair leg before beginning to pummel it against his own hand.
"What are you even doing!!" Cob yells covering Jesse's eyes. Fuji too stunted to speak and Princi laughing off at the sight, screaming "Shock value "as she takes a pause. Focused he continues hitting harder and harder-no matter the pain and the blood drops painting all over the place. Now with bended fingers like tree branches growing out it separate directions-all slowly wiggling their way back in place with a snapping sound and a crack.
"Looks good" Hino claims, raising his unbroken hand up. There wasn't much to feel in his hand, twitching and cracking as he moves his fingers. Oddly even the wounds on his skin begin to slowly patch themselves up. Looking at the four of them, seeing their looks before deciding to walk away.
"Hey wait up" Princi called following behind Hino. "Your gonna kill me aren't you?" he muttered walking away from wherever they were posted at.
Second floor seem to be safe for now, up here they could see the murky red liquid perforating all across the ground floors. Now even more hordes of zombies all immerging from the shallow surface of the water-walking around, aimlessly growling. Even a situation like this Princi laughs. "Kill you?" she mocks "like I care. Your gonna help me be seen and that's how that be" she laughs. "Even if you die a million. I expect you to be back in a million" she said leaving Hino speechless.
Assured and a little confident, now ready to go for another fight. "So where's the chainsaw by the way?" he asked, "Good question" she spoked nervously looking to the side, away from him. "Well their certain ain't here" she muttered "their most likely already gone".
Crouching down, hands over his face in utter defeat. "Fuck fuck fuck I am screwed here!!!" Hino panics-"Shut up and summon another one!!" Princi snaps, punching Hino across the face "Did dying make your fucking brain dead!!!!!".
"No" he spoked exhausted and dishearten from losing that chainsaw. Somehow being trapped in this runny place surrounded by zombies all over seem to made the feeling a little more worst. "Hey its cool" in a calm voice she came closer, patting Hino's shoulder "You and I got this". Her eyes intrepidly looking back his own, a unbreakable smile-"And plus I am gonna need you yo fight anyways. So you really have to call out another one soon." she adds. "Ohh right" taken back to their situation "Oh yes right!" he repeats.
"Definitely" Princi answers, kicking him in the shin for good measure, "Now its the time to be serious" she adds. "Your never serious" Hino answers in his head, not ready to risk being skewered by one of those spears she has on her.
Returning back to their hiding spot, a little hallway between two dilapidated store fronts. Looking over at the surviving group. Ken and Moe both busy arguing about what to do, Jesse crouching down with her hands covering over her head as she cries from her lover's clamorous voice. "No no no" she whimpers leaving Cob trying to calm her down, without results.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
On the other hand, Fuji focused on pouring gallons upon gallons of petrol over the floor. "Ehhh?" Hino blurts out, wondering what he's even doing while Princi lowers down to poke at it. "What even is this?" she questions him. "Oil?" Fuji answers.
"Shut up you little bitch" Moe yells out kicking Jesse to the floor with Cob following behind, face covering over a broken nose with Ken walking behind them all , holding back himself from trying to stop anyone. "Couldn't shut up huh!!" Moe yells stomping against Jesse as he yells.
"Please" she took a kick to the face-shaking as she tries to stand, one eye bruised. "P-pl-please can we go home?" she sniffles, holding back tears with her lips bleeding trying to push out words after words, finally collapsing below him, beginning to cry once more.
Wearing a disgusted grimace, slowly pulling out the gun next to his side. Loading the trigger, gently hovering over her temple. He whispers in her ear "Like I care", shocking her. "We need the money. So wish me luck".
Loading the locking mechanism, creating a doomy sound that echoed around, unsettling everyone with gruesome anticipation. "Ever wonder how fast a M1911 could go?" he chuckles looming over Jesse. "430 rounds per minute" he answers as Cob charges onto him. "Grab her and run!!!" he yells as Hino mindlessly grabs Jesse, running along with her with Princi sprinting behind.
"Bad smell! Bad smell!!" yelling her soul out as she runs, signaling Hino with Jesse by his side. "Wait" his inner voice spoked to him, something does feel right the way Princi said that phrase. "Bad smell?" the look she has looking at him, its like she seem something-unable to describe it with any words.
Cranking his neck back behind to the rest of them, trying to find the right word to spout out to them. Widening his mouth-stucked opened after hearing a familiar voice, in mellow melody, singing a distorted tune.
"Four everee lie you tell you-re gonna cry, cry, cry" a childish voiced sings, with an empty gap in his voice-arrogant as he could be. Doubt spread through out everyone's faces, abruptly nobody moved an inch. Sweat rolled off Moe's forehead, down from the side of his nose like a slide, hanging below his lips before leaping of his chin on to the ground.
"Yourre gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone" his disembodied voice sings once again, chuckling a little with every "cry". Partly after his little tune, his hand breaks the surface, reaching the air as he grabs hold of the second floor. His grey complexion bubbling into red, a million silhouettes looming behind his every surface-pushing through like the birth of a child.
bang.... his skin burst opened, a thousand growls, crying out for a taste. Scrawny hands reaching out towards the first on sight, locking on to those they lay eyes bare to their first. Growling, crying and begging to feast on the gun men's flesh.
All he could do facing a trillion maws was to only cry, cry, cry and cry-stucked in endless gunshots against the undying. Like a pile of snow slowly building to the top, where the inside forever dark. "Yo-u're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry a-lone" he repeats,, laughing and laughing as the bodies pile over. "When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for you" mocking over the man buried in corpses with these ants running for their lives. His message to them "You're gonna cry, cry, cry".
"Run run run!!!" Ken yells dashing away seeing the zombies materialize from the giant hand rising from the shallow water below, once shallow now rising rapidly-tipping close to the second floor their on. "Cry cry cry" a million voices spoked their rotting faces growling still as they spoke as one "Cry cry cry"-bursting into a frenzy as they charged, running towards them like an incoming tide.
"Tell why and cry" they sang mindlessly, incessantly on the move towards them, jostling one another, pushing and squeezing to reach forward.
Waaaaah..... Jesse tripping on her leg, without time to get back up, her face breathless and blushed. Bones too weak to stand, hands betraying her only able to rub herself an inch at a time. Waaaah.... she cries out, sticking her hand out for anyone. The voice laughs, singing his sadistic tune.
Footsteps skipped over, Hino grabbing her by the hands, pulling her forward with his back turned towards open arms, thirsty for him. "Too young" someone whispered in his ear. Hino could feel himself being lifted up, his grip on Jesse severed, seeing Cob pulling him by the hood, with all his strength pulling the two of them an inch away with the light burning where they once stand.
Smoke and ash filled his face, eyes looking in the deep sockets of one of the burning dead, growling at him in flames. Thud.. thud.. thud. Fuji steps in behind Hino before opening and shutting his lighter in quick successions with the flames burning brighter then ever. "Fire?" he was to stunted to speak, "Yeah just the lighter that's all" Fuji answers lighting a flame. "Works only with a source" Fuji answers getting them back on their feet before more break through the burning wall. "Thanks" Hino could only response, unsure if that even is the right thing to say. "You owe me a sexy figurine" he smiles, "Pervert" Hino could answer.
The four catching up to Princi and Ken, far ahead with the sounds of aggressive growls pushing through as the water rises, reaching their ankles. "Third floor" Ken yells scaling the elevator as the same hand explodes out of the water towards him, knocking him back down. "When I remind you of all of this and you'll cry, cry, cry" the voice spoked again gesturing a sign of displeasure before breaking their only means to the third floor.
In such a beleaguer a situation, a plan B is always advised. Thankfully plan B was right next to them-noticing the elevator, Hino calls out to them to get in. With he and Cob prying the thick doors for the rest as the zombies rain ever closer and their owner begins to sing his next lyrics. Finally the six of them in with the door leaving a little gap for the dead to squeeze through their hands extending out for their throats. "Shaft!" Cob yells bosting Jesse and Princi upward while the boys push back. "This ain't the right way to treat your glorious hero" Princi protest before forcefully being push up to the top.
Batting against the poking heads of the dead with still a thousand arms and legs rigorously squeezing through. "Four eyes do something" Ken cries his hands giving way.
Splashing a bottle of liquid at the mass before lighting a small flame as it burns and squeezes the agony out. The flames die. He lights once against. The agony intensifies. The flames die out. He continues.
Between the dying and the birth of a new bonfire. One half managed to squeeze through, reaching for Hino as he resist, inching closer to the others as he levitates from the ground. Panicked with the other unsure what to do, Hino palm over the forehead of the tremoring dead, resisting from losing parts of his neck as he get every closer to other impatient faces.
Breaking into focus with his eyes staring intimidatingly at this growling mess with his tongue sticking. "Wanna bite?" he asked "Ok then!!!". Swinging his head back simultaneously seeking his teeth in to a rotting face. Chewing and pulling with his teeth locked deep into rotting flesh as he mauls and rips apart the zombie's face in intimate fashion. Finally pulling the tongue off as he drops down.
"Hino!!" Cob's voice called from above with his hand reaching down for him.
The gap widening every second he stands, Hino jumps-catching Cob's hand-hanging with the elevator crashing down below them as Hino held on, suspended in the air.
Seeing everyone else looking down from above them, all glad to see them from the third floor. "See I told you Hino would survive!!!" Princi yells as she boast in Ken's ears.
"Guys" Jesse's screams, whimpering as she brings everyone's attention to down below.
Back at the bottom, the bloody hue of the water glows, illuminating the darken shaft with the zombie's growing silent, individually sinking back into the waters. "Get up here!!" Fuji calls discovering something going on in the main center of the mall.
Helping themselves up with worried looks on all of them as they got closed to the edge looking down. Frighten as giant rows of teeth forming a mouth, smiles back at them in the water.
Princi squeezing Hino's sleeve as she whispers into his eyes "Now its time to get serious" before smiling at him. Breathing in, he relax himself. "Its coming" he confidently spoked.
