Akio gave a small sigh of relief. The soldiers had been too distracted to notice him, that was good. But his relief quickly faded as he saw them setting up their guns. Clever~. It seemed that they had almost the whole park covered. And even if he ran they would catch him or worse, shoot. Akio thought about this for a second. What were his choices? He separated the choices into two categories. One where he would live, the other where he would die. If he made a run for it, he would most likely die. If he gave himself up, there was no telling what could happen. But, if he just stayed here he would die of either boredom or hunger. Akio stood up and peeked past the tree. It seemed that the soldiers were waiting for something, probably him. After all, he had killed both a dog and an old man with his knives. Now, he regretted not hiding the bodies. Akio smiled. Now what do I do. Maybe he could make a distraction? No, there were to many soldiers. At least one of them would've seen him. Guess I don't have a choice. Akio took his belt off and put it on the wrong way so that his throwing knives couldn't be seen. He figured that it would probably be bad if they had known he had a weapon. He stepped out, smiling, with his hands up in the air.

Norio fell onto a dumpster and quickly rolled off as the Licker jumped after him. Forget the girl, he needed help from those guys with guns. Luckily, he fell on the street side and wasn't far from the park. He ran as fast as he could, putting distance between him and the Licker. But he couldn't keep this up for long... Norio ran past the police car he hid in only a few minutes ago. They weren't there! Shoot! Norio tried to loose the Licker that was determinedly on his trail by weaving his trail or slow it down somemore....

He might have a better chance to head into the park but what if those dogs were there... He remembered Sakura's bakery was really close near here and he could hide there. It's right past the water fountain...

[NightMoves]

Akio heard a strange sound coming from his left. It sounded like a bang, he didn't dare look for fear that he would be shot. It wasn't like he was afraid he just hadn't done anything yet. He figured that he would die as a hero, saving someone from death. Closely after the bang he heard something that he had never heard before. Something that he couldn't explain. He looked over, it seemed that the guy from earlier was being chased by some sort of zombie. Akio had never been faced with this type of zombie before, he smiled, it would be a challenge. He quickly took his belt off, again, putting it the right way. There was no need to hide it anymore, he would probably die now anyway. Akio took one of the throwing knives from his belt and threw it right at the monsters head. He knew that this wouldn't be enough to actually kill the monster but it would at least create a distraction for the guy to get away. After the knife had safely implanted itself in the monsters head Akio ran towards one of the distracted soldiers and grabbed a gun, shooting the whole round into the same place he had thrown the knife. The monster was still alive. Wow~It can take a lot can't it. Akio smiled and ran towards the monster, on the way he had pulled another one of his knives out of his belt, he was going to use it as a regular knife. This was it...it was either life or death. A rush of adrenaline went through Akio, he was running faster now. When he reached the monster, it had tried to bite him. But he had dodged it. His position was now behind the monster. With a quick move of his arm, the knife was stuck in the back of the monsters head. It made a odd noise and quickly fell to the ground, dead. Akio was breathing heavily. Well...that was fun!. He smiled for the umpteenth time and pulled both of his knives out of the monsters head. Normally, he would've taken this time to run but Akio was now very tired, he sat on the ground.

[Malicious]

Norio tripped when a knife flew right by him, hitting the Licker in the forehead. He barrow-rolled out of the way. Watching a guy take down the monster with a few knifes and a gun, he tried to take a breather. Maybe, the men would be too focused on the monster to even notice he came by here....

[NightMoves]

Akio rolled backwards, standing up. His rest time was over, it was now time to run. The soldiers seemed to be too stunned to react. He couldn't really blame them, he had just risked his life. They probably thought that he had been stupid, which he had, but at least he had survived. Akio smiled, giving a peace sign. "Bye!". He quickly ran down the street, turning into an alley, and climbing into one of the fire escapes. The soldiers probably wouldn't follow him, they had better things to do than chase a kid. Though, he did know how to fight. They had seen that. So maybe they thought he would be trouble. Akio shrugged, there was a slight chance that they would actually find him. After all, there were a lot of buildings. He looked around the room, it didn't seem to be falling apart. It had probably been, till a couple days ago, a nice clean apartment. But now it was a complete mess. The tv had obviously been shot at and blown out. The, what use to be, glass table was overturned, the glass in pieces across the room. And the couch, well, there was no couch. He looked out one of the shattered windows, the couch was on the sidewalk, upside down and shredded. There were more things in the room but nothing really eye-catching, besides the claw marks in the walls. What had made those? After a few minutes of surveying the room he decided to go into one of the bedrooms. The bedroom looked to once be a child's. The stuffed animals now torn and carelessly thrown across the room. He picked up one of the more intact bears and smiled. The bear brought back good memories. Too bad these memories now pained him. He put the bear on what use to be a dresser, now it was just a pile of wood. He decided to check out the other room. It must've been the parents and/or legal guardians. He surveyed the room, looking for something useful. Akio looked in the closet, moving things around. There was a large chest, he heaved it out of the closet. It wasn't locked, so he opened it. Inside he found a pair of duel swords with separate sheaths, that seemed to buckle at the sides of his belt. He pulled them out of their sheaths. The handles were a color of pitch black, the blades a slightly lighter shade of black. There where three small oval shaped holes based near the first half of the swords and a dragon symbol near the handle. Akio lightly pricked his finger on the tip...it started bleeding. They were very sharp, perfect for zombie slaying. Almost on Que he heard a moan come from behind him. Holding one sword in each hand he quickly turned around, slicing the zombie into three pieces. Yep, definitely sharp. He wiped the swords on the bed's sheet and put them back into their cases, which were now hooked to the sides of his belt. They were light and comfortable. Perfect for on the go. He walked out of the room, satisfied with his find.

[karcen]

Aeron made her way, though the nearby building, going in and out of them; in her almost blind escape, she had only recently come to the city, it was all her mother’s idea, if her father had his way they would never leave their home. He had been part of a new wave of people preparing for doomsday it was ironic that the one time he left his home it would be about as close it could be to doomsday.

” Don’t think about things like that you need to keep your head straight, remember what you were told” She thought to herself.

Aeron knew she shouldn’t think about what happened to them, she couldn’t afford to get distracted with sadness, or she would slip up, miss a bar, trust someone, she couldn’t afford to make mistakes. She felt or rather knew that if she made mistakes she would not only die, but also in a way make everything her father taught her pointless, and that was an insult to his memory. So she knew she had to be strong, for them, she was the last who would remember them, and as her mother once told her no one really dies for long as someone remembers them, so she would remember her parents. Still she would be alone while she remained in the city, she had to be alone, she couldn’t trust anyone, it was another lesson her father had taught her. After a end of the world type event people would go crazy, and couldn’t be trusted especially men, though she didn’t exactly get what he had meant when he had tried to explain why they couldn’t be trusted, all she knew was she couldn’t trust them, she also couldn’t trust anyone older than her.

As Aeron thought back she moved between two fire escapes, and nearly missed the railing on one, she barely managed to grab it in time to hold on. She looked down, and could see 3 or four undead a few stories below her. This was why she didn’t want to think about those things, but she had, and it proved her reason for putting them aside. She dangled, with one hand griping the railing she couldn’t hold on forever she needed to move, before long she would lose her grip. She reached up twice trying to grab the railing with her other hand, before finally getting it the third time. Still there was no time to rest she could see more moving from inside the building towards the window she was outside of.

Aeron climbed up to the roof before any of the undead got to close to the window, luckily the roof was devoid of any undead. She moved to each side for the building, except the one she had climbed up, she needed to find a store. She needed a backpack, and a map, she had added the need for a map, to her mind when she had realized how easily she could become lost in the city. She knew that if she got lost there was a good chance she might run into a dead end, or other survivors, both options she didn’t want to happen. She soon saw what looked like a store, she guessed it was on, she didn’t read much Japanese, so she could easily mistake a store that could help her with a useless store, she wouldn’t know until she got there, she started moving.

Within ten minutes she arrived at the store, she was lucky, it seemed to be some kind of outdoors shop, so it had a good chance of having what she needed, for long as it still had supplies, she assumed many people would have rushed here to get things right after the dead had started walking. She moved up to the doors, they were locked, but the glass had been broken and the metal curtains hadn’t been lowered, she didn’t know if this was a bad or good sign. She looked into the building, it looked like it had been lightly looted, but many things still remained , she felt this was a bad thing, if it had been heavily looted it would be less suspicious It still wasn’t a bad sign. It wasn’t good but it wasn’t bad, also the lights were oddly, on, well perhaps those people from umbrella had taken the power plant or more likely this place had a backup generator, as the light that were on , were mostly backup lights, so the interior was darker than outside, but still not without light. She decided it was worth it to go in.

Aeron slowly entered the store, she kept slightly crouched hoping to avoid any of the dead or worse the living, that might be in the store, she could see evidence there there had at least at one point been a few dead here, at least that’s what the pools of coagulated blood on the floor suggested. That was all the more reason to be cautious, and might explain why this place was so lightly looted, if people had came back during a panic people might not have had time to gather what they needed or rather blindly wanted. So far the place seemed clear, she couldn’t hear any moaning. Or any movement, it was silent

Aeron slowly mad her way to the racks containing the local maps, and maps of the areas outside the city, she grabbed a few, different ones, each showing either a detailed area or a over view. That was one thing off her immediate desire. She continued, moving slowly, towards where the back packs were, she hoped there were at least a few left. Still as she moved, she thought she heard foot steeps besides her own, she needed to be cautious, and there might be a zombie around.

Aeron crept up to the aisles containing the backpacks, she turned into the aisle and was surprised that there was a good selection remaining, still she was limited by her body size, she couldn’t carry the same backpack as a fully grown person, well she could but it would most likely prove more a hazard than a help. She looked though the many styles, there were lots of bright colored ones, and ones with different patterns, none of those would do she needed a different one. She soon found it, basic brown, made for utility over comfort or design, just what she needed.

Though just as she was about to move her stuff into the backpack, the undead that had apparently been following her made an appearance. She quickly got out her hook swords; she used them over her guns against the undead. The zombie was a male; most likely a store employee judging from the uniform it was wearing. It was in an ok condition it would almost pass for a living person, if it still had still had a face. It lurched forward, and she readied herself. It moved again, it was about 5 feet from her. She crouched and ran at it, it lurched trying to grab her, but she moved past it, grabbing its leg with one of the hooks. It fell down, just how she wanted it, she quickly turned and brought her other sword down on its head.

With that threat dealt with she packed up and moved on to look for other items she could use. The guns area had been heavily looted, and had almost no guns left, not that she wanted anymore, it was ammo she needed, she looked though, but it was equally slim in pickings. She did manage to find a few clips that would fit her gun, and some extra ammo. Still it wasn’t much, she quickly moved, on fairly sure she heard more footsteps.

Aeron came to the area for dried food, and water items, the food, was about half depleted, but if the blood on the floor proved anything it said the people had been stopped before they could finish. She grabbed up lots of different dried foods, she couldn’t be picky, right now, so any thing would do. Though she did find two thing on the other side that dealt with water based supplies. One was a bottle that could filter its own water, the other looked like a themes, but had a stand where you could put bottle butane to heat it up and boil the water.

Aeron had almost everything she could think she might need as she started towards the exit, then it hit her, a flashlight, she didn’t have a flash light. She moved faster than she meant to making more noise, than she had in the store before. She made it to the area of the flashlights and batteries. She made a fairly quick selection and got some batteries. She turned to the exit to see three undead coming at her slowly.

Aeron drew her swords once again, as the approached. She quickly ran towards the first one, tripping it and dispatching it the same swift motion she had used earlier. One of the zombies hands descended on her, she quickly blocked then severed it fingers, it was good thing these weren’t very stable. She hooked its, leg and made it fall backwards as the other started its attack. She once again blocked the incoming attack, though this time she couldn’t sever the fingers. She pushed against the third zombie while she did a twist to move, and bring a sword down on the seconds head. That was two down ,one to deal with before it could seem to notice she had moved, she hooked it’s leg and caused it to fall forwards followed almost instantly by her other sword, finishing of the last one.
Aeron left the store,heading out into the street for the moment, rather content with her find; she had even grabbed a few types of lighters, to start fires. She would need to find another place to stay , or at least a place to stop for her first good meal in awhile, she might even find some sweets along the way if she was lucky.

[NightMoves]

Akio jumped out one of the windows, landing onto another fire escape. He climbed down from the building and landed onto the street. It may be stupid to walk the street aimlessly but he decided that this way he would probably find more survivors, or dead people. Either was good for him. He didn't really mind, living people meant company and dead people usually meant supplies and/or entertainment. He walked down the side of the street humming a strange tune that he had heard earlier today on the radio. A few minutes of walking later, he hadn't seen a single zombie. That was weird, there should be tons. Maybe the soldiers had killed them all off? He highly doubted this, the soldiers looked as though they barely knew what was going on. As if answering to his thoughts a zombie walked out of no where. It looked to be a girl with brown hair, her eyes now torn out and about half of her neck was missing. There was a small pistol hooked to her belt. Akio smiled and took his newly found swords out of their sheath's. He would have a little fun. Akio ran towards the girl, cutting both her legs off. The girl fell to the ground, walking on her now stubbed legs. He laughed at this, then cut her arms off. She wasn't much of a threat, now he only had to look out for her mouth, he didn't want to get bit, not just yet. Akio crouched, being careful of the mouth and took the gun. "Thanks~" He said to the dead girl "Have fun!". Akio walked away, the girl slowly trying to follow him on her stubs. Someone would probably end up killing her off later but he felt that it was more fun to just leave her there. It wasn't like she had feelings anymore. While walking he stuck his swords back in their sheaths and, turning the safety on, stuck the gun in his belt. After about 10 minutes of walking he saw a figure far off on the road. Was it a zombie?. When he got closer he noticed that figure was not a zombie, it was in fact a small girl. Looking to be around the age of 11-13. He wondered what a small girl was doing wondering the streets alone. Especially with dead people lying around and worse, walking. "Hello~" He smiled towards the girl "May I ask why you are roaming the streets by yourself?".

[karcen]

Aeron shouldn’t have left though the main entrance, the store was too obvious, the street was to open, she had just made multiple mistakes and now she had to deal with a survivor, well she instantly knew she couldn’t trust him, mostly because he was a guy, and he was older, those two factors said that he was dangerous or stupid, which wasn’t must different than dangerous, in this kind of place. Though she didn’t understand exactly what he said something about being on the street, she didn’t really catch it all, the question was what were his intentions. He could just be an innocent person thinking that she needed help, or he could be a deceiving pervert like her father had told her about. She couldn’t take any chances, She pulled out both her guns, their safety already of and aimed them at the boy, ready to fire at the slightest wrong movement from him.

” Don’t come any closer What do you want. ” She said, makeign sure to aim her guns more and more as she spoke.

[NightMoves]

Akio stopped walking and put his hands up. Why did everyone always have to be so violent? He knew that people were jumpy do to the outbreak of zombies. But did they always have to go and point guns at him. Not like many people had pointed guns at him. This was his third time. The first involved him finding a couple, scared to death, inside a restaurant and the second involved a tall man, neither of them had let him get close and had ended up dieing. Akio sighed remembering those moments. How could he save people, who didn't want to be saved? It was close to impossible. This time he wouldn't let bullets stop him, even if he got shot he vowed to save this girl, if she ever was in trouble. Which was probably not often, she did seem to know what she was doing. When the girl spoke he was a little surprised. English? Before Akio's parents had been murdered, his mother had taught him to speak fluent English, they had planned to go on a trip to the U.S. "Oh you speak English?" He was speaking in English, his accent clearly showing. "I just wanted to know why you were walking the streets alone, though I do see that you can take care of yourself." He was going to add that if she shot it wouldn't really matter. He would be dead and she would be no closer to her goals, it would've just been time wasted. But decided not to. If he said that she might want to shoot him more. Instead he decided to give his name. "My name is Akio"

[Utatane_Piko]

James looked at the kid, beckoning him over. He was surprised at the other lad, killing a monster like that, but he still thought of it as foolish. After the kid had come over, he climed out of the fountain, telling them all to follow. He handed the kid some bullets for the gun, and ran of in the direction of the nearest street. "Is no where safe in this place. comeon everyone follow me, even you kid. The sooner we get out of here the better.". The ran onto the street, and headed for the corner. When they turned it they noticed the two kids from earlier, and the girls gun was aimed at the lad. He told his men to stow their weapons, and ran up to the two of them. Hands raised above his head, to show he didnt mean them any harm, he called out. "Whoa there, lower the gun. You fire that and the entire neighberhood will be ontop of us. Look, i can tell you dont like umbrella. I dont blame you, to be honest were not on good terms with them. Were expendable to them it seems. We were sent in, no details of what we were up against, and right now. We just want to leave this area, if you want, i can prove im not working for umbrella anymore.". And with that, he reached up and tore the umbrella badge from his beret and uniform. Then raised his hands again.



Lupus walked alongside olivia, the team covering them. As they entered the room, they turned the lights on. They glanced round and saw the remnants of the UBHCU, or some of them at least. "Hmm, how would you guys like to live, if so join our group. Only thing you have to do is kill survivors, and cover us when you need to.". Lupus was hoping they would agree, but at the same point hoping they wouldnt. Gladly, they refused and lupus watched olivia raise her gun, he also raised his, and took out the left half of the room in a single clip. Allowing olivia to wipe out the right half.

[Malicious]

Umbrella? Who was that? Norio reluctantly went with the men because well, he only had a handgun and didn't really want to die. One of them who was wearing a beret gave him some bullets which he put in his back pocket. He was sure that the handgun was mostly loaded but he wouldn't even know how to put more bullets in it even if he had too.

The gun was such a unfamiliar weight in his hand and he was glad he hadn't dropped in his run. The umbrella group or whatever they were called found the other kids in the middle of a stand-off. He had half a mind to make a break for it but there were three men behind him. He heard a few disagreements with their leaders statement but lowered their weapons. Most of them. One of the men still had the head of a rifle(?) pressed right against his shoulder blades. Why on earth did he even come back here?



Olivia smiled at her handwork. The people hiding here were dead and the evidence gone. "On to the next place?"Olivia reloaded her gun and examined the bodies. They seemed to only be UBHCU with very few ordinary people. The city couldn't have been over-runned by the virus to the point mostly everybody was dead. "Do you think most of the cilivian populace has already been evaluated? There's a lack of zombies roaming the streets and I doubt the local police force and UBHCU could have been able to clear this place out. Something is happening here."

[Utatane_Piko]

Lupus looked at her, his gas mask allowing him to smile without it being noticed. "Dont worry, the moment the spill happened, the city was locked down. Sea, air and land routes closed, the lack of zombies is nothing. Some might of already turned to piles of mush. Dont worry about them, its the other BOW's roaming the streets we need to look out for.". He ran at top speed out of the nearest door, and onto the street, his team following. There next destination was on the other side of town, and when he peeked round the corner, he noticed at least 50+ zombies, and 5 hunters. It looked like things were going to get interesting. He dived behind the car just infront of him, readying the XM8 modefied light machinegun. Taking aim, he started firing down the street, the zombies and hunters turning to him. In the first barrage he managed to cut down 6 zombies and three of the hunters. But at that moment a pack of cerberus and 3 lickers appeared from the nearby alleyways and buildings. Taking aim he cut down two of the lickers and the dogs, before returning fire to the main street.

[Malicious]

Olivia stood still as she held up her miniature arm mounted Gatling Gun, the bullets ran down most of the zombies heading in their direction. Then out of the allyways, appeared three lickers and a pack of cerebus. Lupus killed two of the three licker and the pack of mutated mutts but one of them escaped. Olivia turned her aim tho the licker that was avoiding her shoots as it climbed up the wall of the ally. Where was it going?

While she was shooting, she didn't notice a zombie was right behind her. She turned at the last moment, staring the zombie in it's maggot filled eyes before it attacked faster than she could shoot.

[Utatane_Piko]

Lupus spun round, running to olivia befor punching the zombie in the face and knocking it to the floor. Once there he lifted his boot and brought it down, crushing the skull. After he had done that he turned to street, cleared of all enemies. His team was formidable, but he noticed one licker was missing. At that point he heard a scream and gunfire from behind as the licker pounced one of his men. The man fired out of panic cutting down the rest of the squad, before ding from the claw lodged in his throat. When the licker had finished it turned to olivia and pounced, Lupus barely had time to lift his rifle when the licker hit a lamp post. He fired until the drum mag was empty. When he was done, he walked towards the now dead UCSS team and took all the ammo he could carry. He beckoned olivia to do the same, when the man who was killed by the licker jerked and stood up. He started staggering towards lupus, blood still pouring from his neck.

[NightMoves]

Akio looked behind him,still holding his hands up. The soldiers from earlier had caught up to them and behind them was the boy that he had saved earlier. One of the soldiers came up to them saying something about umbrella. He hadn't really paid attention, he was trying so hard to remember what English his mother had taught him. It had been about 10 years. Akio smiled at the man "Hello~". Then he turned his head back. "She speaks English, so I bet she didn't understand half of what you said, right?" On the 'right' he nodded towards the girl, knowing that she had barely understood his first statement that had been in Japanese. "Sorry, it seems your speech has gone to waste". Akio's arms started to grow tired. So, he put them down. The girl either shot or she didn't he didn't really see a problem with this. Of course, it would hurt but he would soon be dead. He wanted to ask the girl that if she did kill him. Could she put his body somewhere where it wouldn't get eaten by zombies? He didn't like the idea of their mouths being all over him. He shuddered at the thought. What was going to happen next? Was she going to shoot? Run? Stay? Akio doubted that she would stay and it wasn't much of a possibility. To be honest he would probably find a way to slip out soon too. But for now he would rest, he sat on the ground.
