Chapter 5:When Two titans meet.

A large man with a body that can easily put bodybuilders to shame, his skin was pale, with a crew cut style brown hair, with amber eyes that shined in the darkness, he was a rather handsome man, however like others he bore secrets of his own.

Pitt was his name, a former wrestler/bodyguard, and this man was a leader of a group that was strangely protective of other humans despite the world's overall situation.

Then again, that is why he was the leader of the group. He was willing to charge headfirst into a horde of thousands of zombies to save another human.

Due to his repetitive deeds, the others revered him as an actual hero with a lack of greed, never tried to oppress him, fellow man, that only took what he needed, and with his nearly unstoppable skill, it was hard not to think of him as a hero.

Whenever someone asks him why he does what he does. his answer? A promise that he must keep.

whenever someone asked him who was the promise from mostly the curious ladies *ahem*

Pitt waved his hand to shoo them away when other men asked him, they received a scowl and silent treatment.

Any questions about his promise seemed to upset him too much to the point that. He would leave the base for some time and slaughter zombies for the rest of the day.

Tonight was one of those very nights that he wanted to vent his frustration on something.

As he also received a report that one of their scavenger groups went missing, the leader of the group was a teen that called himself "weapon x" like wolverine except he didn't have the hardest metal infused into his bones. Still, his regenerative abilities were 30 times faster than the average human, was also immune to any poisons and viruses, including the zombie one.

The teen was a very hard-working one as every day he would hunt and kill zombies making ranked 21st in the overall strength department as his level was 33 when he last told anyone while there was a chance it was higher...

However, no matter what his level was, it wasn't high enough to handle everything outside of the base camp.

As Pitt's current teammates were fresh blood, recruits that joined the scavengers recently it didn't mean they were weak and feeble. While they can handle, maybe, twenty+ zombies at once, which was a requirement before joining them.

It can't be said about another disturbing rumor: a group that hunts other humans....the Cannibals.

Now Pitt's current task is to find out what happened to the so-called weapon x and his group than to escort them back to the base in one piece or what is left.

He was currently leading this group through the forest, following the tracks that were left by another group according to their scout that seemed to grow more and more anxious as he discovered a darker truth behind the evidence.

Then a voice interrupts his thoughts about this whole situation.

"hey, boss" ???

"hmm?" Pitt turns to the source to see a man dressed up like a ninja. It was our scout Jacob, a former barber that had to turn his hobby into his way of life now.

Hearing the somewhat disturbed tone sounds like it isn't good news.

"I think I found out what happened to our scavengers...and it looks like that either the zombies got to them first or the cannibals...." Jacob

Pitt stared at Jacob, waiting for the underline message.

"judging from the signs of struggles left behind and lack of blood, I'm betting on the latter towards the tallest building up ahead without a roof that seems like the best place for either a base or temporary one..." Jacob added

As it has been a few days, hopefully, they were still alive and even better "savable."

Pitt's face hardened from the news causing him to turn towards the building that Jacob pointed out then hastened his stride as in this world, and they need everyone they can get.

However, a burst of bone-chilling laughter echoed out that tickled their skin as they felt as if their natural predator was now watching them as that disgusting laugh was getting louder and closer.

A giant being emerged from the trees near them, exposing a 10 meters tall entirely muscular, tanned, also hairless as well as naked. The man was the source of the laughter as well as that hungry gaze that bore into their being.

Upon seeing him, everyone, including Pitt, readied themselves for a battle that will be a hard one.

"HAHAHAHAHA finally more fresh meat to eat" resounded the cold and bloodthirsty voice.

"These sacks of meat were too stiff and tasteless to enjoy," the large man snapped his fingers.

then added.

"you can have them back."

Some of his men nearby threw the barely alive "toys" and what was left of the others of that group that went missing as the 'toys' landed with a gut-wrenching splat or thud.

What they saw was what they were looking for all this time.

"mi-mike?" asked a fearful one as mike was the name of the boy that called himself weapon x.

"Sis!!? That's Sarah!!!" one of the brothers of one of the victims exclaimed in disbelief as he pointed at the bloodied mess of a sister...

"Alisa, you SICK F*CKS... ILL, ILLLL" from his reaction the girl might have been a dear friend or lover as he raged about, however, he was quickly held back by the others that were able and were still doing their best to stay calm in this dire situation.

With different reactions brought about different actions as some were hungry for revenge, some wanted to run away. Only a select few were strangely calm; however, they still gave the anticipated reaction, which is lowering their morale, distraction, disarray in the group, and finally causing them to make some of the worst decisions that can end their lives.

As the cannibals wanted them to lose focus to become easier to hunt; however, they never came across a group that was lead by a man like Pitt, which will change the way they hunt. If they survive, that is.

Pitt stepped forward as he let out a sigh of pity and frustration, with his shield's tip landed on the ground grabbing the attention of his group thanks to the loud thud it made and a drawn sword ready to hack their enemies as he bellowed out three orders.

"stick together, handle the others, But leave the big dumb ass to me."

Upon hearing those words, the large man that was laughing, immediately stopped, then a dense amount of blood lust enveloped everyone. As the juggernaut now pissed due to his power and years of being at the "top" of the food chain made him very prideful and arrogant at the same time causing him to release a heated roar of fury as a puny man dared to call him as such?

Juggernaut then grabbed a tree with one hand uprooted it completely then charged as he swung the tree overhead as if to squash the puny man as a loud sound of something cracking echoed through the area.

But the question is with one ability impervious to physical attacks, while the other can redirect force, which one will win?

The heavy blow that Pitt received redirected the force to one of the cannibals causing the target to explode from the amount of power that the skill set to the victim. This caused Pitt to give a cautious look against this powerful enemy, as he swung his blade with enough force into the juggernaut's side, causing him to take a few steps backward.

"Hahaha, let me enjoy this!!!"

Juggernaut was delighted at this.

As for why it has been a long time since he was able to have a good fight; thus, the cracked log that the large man was using came crashing down again—hitting Pitt with even greater force, causing the others that were nearby to lose their footing. Some of the unlucky ones to start flying from the amount of wind that was generated by his blow.

Strangely enough, despite the cruelty of the cannibals and the suffering they caused, Pitt was also beginning to enjoy this fight as if he was back at the wrestling ring, exchanging a hit for a hit breaking their weapons in the process including Pitt's shield. As if they were putting on a show for each other.

As each and every one of their blows was stronger than the last.

Ever since the day that the zombies came about, he lost one of the three things that he held dear, which was his wife due to numerous reasons.

Thus Pitt hated zombies and bandits because of this with a burning passion.

The second was his loving daughter due to zombies and bandits yet again.

Hence his anger towards the two groups reached the point that his ruthlessness became second nature.

Then lastly, his job, because of his career, Pitt would be able to forget his pain and suffering momentarily. But due to zombies yet again, he lost his sanctuary even if it was a dying career.

At least he wanted to enjoy it at least a day no even a second longer.

Thus every time he sees any zombies, he would hunt, then hunt, then hunt yet again until there were no zombies within a mile or so from the base while it was tiring at first.

Still, after leveling enough and reaching a certain point even with a flick of a finger, he could kill a low-level zombie.

That is why now he will savor this fight even if the others consider juggernaut a bitter enemy.

Thus he threw away the now broken shield and sword, as juggernaut threw away what remained of the log crashing into the ground nearby.

the two powerhouses approached each other until they were face to face before beginning to pummel each other causing small shock waves with each blow as the two began to laugh in amusement neither of the two letting up, causing the others to be spectators as they watched in awe from the performance of brutality and violence the two leaders were showing as the usually calm and collected Pitt was like a ferocious beast and juggernaut was showing why he had such a name...

--Meanwhile--

Back at the now bloody and broken, mall.

One of our characters, named Hiei, was tending to rain, trying to restore her body.

Back to its comfortable version as something seems somewhat wrong with this picture.

As her clothes were sliding off as he was trying to do so, the sound of a roar then followed by the sound of something bashing into the ground something big and bulky at least judging from the sound echoed about repeatedly.

He turns his head towards the direction of the sound.

And sure enough, there was a vague silhouette swinging a massive weapon that vaguely looks like a tree while it is pretty far something was telling him to leave this area soon, or he will get caught in this fight which will not be a good thing.

Using the feeling, he felt when he "ate" Tank.

Hiei pretty much consumed every zombie carcass around him leveling his skill by two and my other job jumped up eight levels then again a lot of the other zombies were pretty torn to shreds and hell some even had less than half a body, and this is my new status.
