Welcome to Gaia! ::

Naoki was suddenly distracted at the commotion coming from where the others were situated. She looked from where Redeem was to where the others were, and saw that Lilianna was already getting Redeem. Her mind set, she sprinted towards Koji but stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of the gigantic humanoid figure that stood menacingly a few yards away from them.

"What... " she began, her voice cracking in both wonder and fear at the appearance of the giant and the pile of bodies it seemed to be guarding. She gulped a little to force the bile down her throat; there was something different about seeing undead corpses walking around and seeing actual dead people that lay motionless as they should. Naoki continued in a hushed voice. "That thing is huge. What do you think happened to it? Do you think it can see us?"

Koji slowly motioned away from the store with the other survivors, trying not to get the giant's attention. "I don't know. A mutation perhaps? Or probably an experiment. Eitherway, I don't want to confront that thing." Before the group could get any further however, a loud crash was heard. A nearby zombie accidentally topples a garbage can, causing a loud metalic banging noise. The beast roared to life and wildly began charging towards the survivors while aimlessly swinging its weapon around.

"Holy sh*t.. run!" Koji frantically searched for another way down. The monster was moving so fast that he knew the group would never make it to the escalators. "Quick! Get in the elevator instead!" Without thinking twice, the group dumped their bags loaded with weapons and dived into the elevator.

The elevator had 2 problems unforseen by the survivors. One was the exposed side was made of glass, and two, it had a jammed cable so it was moving down at a snail's pace. "F*ck.." Koji blurted out as the beast leaped from the edge and clinged on the elevator, banging on the glass and trying to smash through it as it slowly decended towards the ground floor.

Hanahily began to twiddle her thumbs as hshe tried to think. I gritted my teeth as I couldn't seem to some up with an idea. I closed my eye's and thought, There has to be a way out of here, I began to look around the elevator I looked up and saw the duct at the top, My eye's widened as I pointed up. " I don't think that will be needed just yet Naoki. If all of us hurry we might be able to make it up into the elevator shaft. It's not the best way out of here but it's the only way really. "

* Crunch *

I looked to only see the glass giving way to the gaints rampaging fists. I held onto duke and monica tightly, I opened the duct. " Everyone start going up, I guess Naoki..." I looked over towards her my eyes sadened. " Just kill him quickly, before he completely break through. even with a gun hole in the glass it should still be strong enough to keep the undead away from us long enough. " I smiled and I shoved Duke and Monica up towards the others. " Climb as quickly as you can ok. " I looked back and the gaint came closer to breaking through the glass. " Just Do It Already! "

Naoki nodded towards Hana and watched as she helped others climb up the duct.

"Alright, big guy," she said as she aimed. "You asked for it."

Her pistol shots and the rush of her blood rang in her ears. She was aiming for the monster's face, but even then it seemed like it only got angrier. It roared and one of its arms lunged to grab her, but Naoki shot it. The thing howled, more in fury than pain, and she kicked the arm away with her leg (though it was like kicking a concrete wall).

"Ah!" Naoki cried out when its other arm caught her in the back and knocked the wind out of her. She staggered, coughing, almost falling to her knees and injuring herself with broken glass again.

What is it with me and glass shards...

Naoki knew that the others were already somehwere safe from here. But the zombies were surrounding the elevator now, and she was in trouble.

"Silena, you have to go with the others now if you want a chance of getting out at all!" Naoki yelled, still shooting the monstrosity. And maybe it was just sheer luck, but one of her shots caused it to lose its grip and hang with one hand onto the very edge of the elevator.

Not wasting another second, Naoki grabbed Silena and vaulted her up into the duct.

"I'll follow!" she promised. "Hurry!"

But the giant somehow heaved itself up again and grabbed Naoki, pinning her to one of the walls.

I poked me head through the elevator duct seeing Sirena and Naoki fighting over who'd be the one left to follow. I sighed as I grabbed both of their hands. " Neither one of you have to die yet! "

I pulled the two through the duct as the Gaint outside of the glass fell into the zombie feeding frenzy. The doors began to open as the undead flooded into the elevator. I pulled the two out of they're reach just in time. I looked at the two as I stated. " Hope you two are ready to climb. "

I heard Naoki hissing a little and looked at her leg. I thought to myself, Dam she's gotten hurt. How do we go about this, those things will figure out where up here sooner or later. We don't have much time. I knelt down and looked back at Naoki, quietly I spoke. " Hop on my back, if you hold on tightly I might be able to get you up where the others are. "

I looked down at the duct to see an undead hand fandling through it. " We need to move now! " (( sorry about controling your character for a mintue. )) Naoki crawled onto my back and the two of us began to shimmy up out of the reach of the undead, with Sirena leading our way up. We soon came to the second floor where everyone one else had climbed up. We soon joined the others only to meet with some undead yet again.

Naoki managed a weak grin at Hana, which turned into a wince of pain.

"Thanks. I can take it from here."

When they reached the second floor, the undead were there yet again. Thankfully, they weren't swarming.

"Come on," she called to the others in a hushed voice. "Let's find a safe spot. We can fix up our plans then."

(( I'm lonely so I'm gonna Rp for MizuOfTheWaterTribe, Mizuchi_Hibachi, and Miss Mizukie Shop Owner, and before anyone starts pming me about if it's alright or not, i've already asked them and they said I could, and Nhikxter said it was alright as well. But be perpaired for long Rp pages from me while the others are offline. ))



I had found a change of clothes in a western style shop, soon I found the scene of Hanahily and Duke awaiting me outside the shop. I Covered my mouth tring not to blurt out in laugher at what Duke had done, what made things all the laughible was Hanahily's face when she said ' we're sleeping here for the night, and that's final ' it was so hard to keep myself from blurting out laughing.

That soon changed when I saw the remains of an older women to my right, the scent of her magget filled body would have gaged any normal person. Thankfully we were no longer normal, considered by usual human standers. We were now undead killers, living dead tramplers, and master of beheading zombies. Even with all of this that had gone on we were still able to laugh and have fun now and again, even if undead are near by.

I began to think to myself about how after this mess if we'de be able to live as normal people again, or if we'de go insane without something tring to kill or threaten us.

Susaka came back to reality only to see an undead straight in front of her. "Cr--- " I covered my mouth before I continued the undeads head raised and then lowered again as if he thought someone else had gotten the meal before him. I slowly move out of his way tring to keep as quiet as possible. I looked at the others and sighed heavily tring to gain some composure back. Mizu knelt down and placed her hand on my shoulder. I began to speak. " That was a close one I almost died then. " I looked back as the udead wondered farther and farther away in the other direction. " Let's get caught up with Hanahily, Duke, and Monica before something like that happens again. " I stood up and began to walk over to the department where they had started to.







The situtation Hana found herself in was laughible but it was an excuse for any of us to become detatched from reality. I knelt down tring to keep Susaka calm and quiet, after her coming face to face with an undead like she did there wasn't much chance of her keeping her composure, but she did good for someone like herself. It was amazing how quickly she got back on her feet. I looked at the others as I smiled, slicing the head of an udead that had wonderd too close for comfort for me.

I began to speak to the others in a quiet tone. " Well we better keep those four in site other wise they might get themselves killed by kid zombies while they're sleeping. " I continued to walk as Mizukie slowly followed behind me and the others. She was unusually quiet for my tastes but I paid it little mind at the time

*Redeem turned as he heard someones voice...it was the girl they called Lilli. He scratched head still holding a golf club in his other hand*
"Umm....and what if i wanted to stay? *he approached her, still holding the golf club firmly, bit down on his lower lip and smiled at her now only a few inches away from her*
...Huuuh?...
*3mins later without a response he scoffed and turned around to examine the equipment in front of him*
