7.Destroying The DEAD!

[[7.Destroying The DEAD!]]

[[3rd Person's POV]]

At the gates of Fujimi High School, a horde of zombies were entering. The students were ignorant of that fact, except for one male student that was on the roof of the school, moping about his childhood friend/crush hating him. Upon witnessing a "person" suddenly biting into one of his teacher's throat, the teen was too shocked to react. It got worse when his teacher, with a good chunk of his throat ripped off, who he assumed was definitely dead, rose from the ground and had attacked one of the teacher's with.

Soon, "people" started coming in due to the shouting, most sporting bites on their bodies. The teen, not knowing what they were -because in zombie movies and the like, you wouldn't know what a zombie was-, immediately dashed towards the stairs, and saving his childhood friend/crush was the thing he thought of the most. But, when he reached the stairs, he tripped and fell down, straight to his head. The teen wasn't dead, he will be dead later on due to blood lose, and he was just unconscious.

And while that happened, Shizuka was using her walkie-talkie to try and get in touch with her friends. Together with what she had seen on the entrance of the school, and Derierei's ominous {{The zombies...are coming...}} message, Shizuka was quick to act. Yuki was the first one she was able to contact. She began explaining what she had seen, and then had used [Soothing Charm] through the walkie-talkie to calm Yuki down on the other side.

Shizuka instructed Yuki to lock up the apartment and prepare the survival kit. Yuki, who was initially confused, who then started to panic but was then calmed down due to [Soothing Charm], acted out Shizuka's instruction. After Yuki, Shizuka was able to contact Yuriko, who was already informed of what was happening due to her husband, and was already prepared. Yuriko had immediately pleaded to Shizuka to protect Saya, her daughter, for her, to which Shizuka had naturally agreed to.

And lastly, while Shizuka was trying to calm down the students in the infirmary with [Soothing Charm], she had locked the doors, and broken one of the hard-to see glass on one of them to be able to see if a person was outside or something else. Then, finally, Shizuka was able to get a hold onto Lillian.

"Good morning Shi-" The nurse quickly noticed how normal Lillian was acting, and she immediately guessed that she didn't know what was happening. So, Shizuka had to cut her off.

"Lillian! Where are you!? Who's with you!?" The blonde hurriedly asked her friend, hoping that she and her daughter would be alright.

"E-eh!? I-I'm back home wi-with my daughter. Shi-Shizu! I-is there something wrong?" Lillian, realizing Shizuka's worried tone, made her worried as well.

"Lillian, lock your doors, your windows! Block them with anything you can, and don't let anyone in other than me. I'll come for you soon enough. Pack up all your canned goods and your essentials too!" While Shizuka was directing Lillian on what to do, an announcement rang through the whole school, which had caused panick to erupt because of the principal's screams of agony and bones being crunched.

Luckily, due to Shizuka's [Soothing Charm] skill, the students in the infirmary weren't panicking and was even able to think rationally thanks to the skill being max level!

"Shi-Shizu! Wha-what's happening!?! Yo-you're scaring m-me! And what's with a-all the shouting!?" Understandably, Lillian wanted to know more, but Shizuka a can't have Lillian wasting any time, so with the utmost urgency clear in her voice, she told Lillian, "No time to waste! Hurry and lock the doors! People are eating other people!! Zombies are real, Lily! Zombies. Are. Real!! So hurry up and make sure none of them can get to you and Alice! I'll come pick you up! Just wait for me!! Do not. Let anyone else. Enter."

Lillian, on the other side of the walkie-talkie, was getting scared. She couldn't believe what her friend was telling her about. Especially about zombies existing! But with the urgency in her tone and the screaming in the background, Lillian started to believe Shizuka. If Shizuka was lying to her, then this would all be just an elaborate prank that will surely cause her to hate Shizuka a bit. But if it were all true? Then she was safe.

Then, feeling that Lillian was doing as told, Shizuka sighed in relief. Checking the students in the infirmary once again, Shizuka began to question Derierei, gripping tightly onto the first ever weapon she received as a reward.

'What's happening Derierei-chan?!' With others here with her, Shizuka wouldn't be able to freely speak with Derierei.

{{The Zombie Apocalypse, Shizuka. Didn't you read my "The zombies are coming" message?}} Even 'till now, Derierei was being a bit petty. It annoyed Shizuka, but she knew how Derierei acted by now, and she knew that Derierei could immediately go from being bitchy to an affection goof. Plus, Derierei was a kind-hearted woman that wouldn't let anything happen to her.

'I mean...is this the reason why you're here?' Shizuka wanted answers. At first, when she was given this System, she was a complete airhead that hadn't questioned any of this. But, she got better, and less of an airhead. So, she began to question the reasons for why this System had suddenly appeared, and why °she° was the chosen host, which Derierei just ignored. She partly remembered what Derierei had first told her when she appeared, it was just she had a hard time remembering something she didn't care about at that time. But, surely, Derierei would now answer her question.

{{Yes. As I have said, humanity is at the brink of extinction. I had just refused to tell you how it would come to be. And, as you can see, it is because of these zombies.

So, be ready, Shizuka. I have prepared you for this day, so don't let me down. Make sure humanity wouldn't cease existing.}}

Shizuka was a bit overwhelmed, but she wasn't going to let it affect her. She knew that there was a reason why Derierei was making do all the things like buying survival gears. And somehow, she knew that what Derierei was doing was something she shouldn't be doing. She didn't know how, but she just felt it. And Shizuka was grateful for that.

'...Don't worry, Derierei-chan. I will not let humanity perish.' Remembering how far she had gone, from a simple, clumsy nurse, to a badass, still-a-bit-airheaded, knife-wielding nurse.

{"Good."} It was a shocking surprise when Shizuka heard Derierei's voice, and she unconsciously blushed because her friend's voice was unexpectedly sweet and sultry.

"Derierei...?" Shizuka unconsciously asked aloud, face gaining a hint of pink. Dereirie just had an unexpectedly super sweet and sexy voice that caused Shizuka to feel weird.

Though, after minutes of not responding, Shizuka was able to calm herself down, and not forgetting her responsibility as an adult, had instructed the students in the infirmary -two in total, both boys- to huddle up on the corner while giving them knives to use to defend themselves with.

__/__/__/

Half-an-hour hadn't even passed since the zombies broke into the school, and most of the students were turned into zombies. Busujima Saeko, with her kendo mastery, was able to kill the zombies in her path as she frantically made her path towards the infirmary. Even when Saeko was finally given the chance to let her darker side run free, she couldn't in worry for her best friend. Someone she never thought she would be able to have.

Marikawa Shizuka, Fujimi High School's resident airheaded nurse. There was no one in school that didn't know the woman, for not only was an heaven-sent beauty, but she was just so innocent and pure. The boys in the school didn't know this, but to the girls, Marikawa Shizuka was easy prey, too ignorant in the matters of Lust that she was easily tricked.

Saeko may have no interest in the ditzy woman before, but words about her ignorance was easily spread in the women's changing room. At first, Saeko didn't even care about the woman, and even loathed her a bit for being so gullible, but her thoughts about the nurse changed when that one fateful day had happened. She didn't know how, but Marikawa Shizuka was able to know that she was hiding a different part of her. And, much to the younger woman's surprise, Shizuka had discussed with her about dark side, where everything had evolved into a faux therapy session.

It was a day Saeko would never forget, especially when it was the day she was able to accept herself even more, to not deny that side of hers of what it wants. But, for now, with these zombies all around the school, everything was now about Marikawa Shizuka.

With their week old friendship, Saeko knew that Shizuka was actually more than a klutz and ignorant woman. Shizuka was strong in her own right, but Saeko still saw her as someone who was weak in a fight and someone to be protected. And that is why she was frantically running towards the infirmary, helping the students as much as she can on the way as she plows through the zombie infested hallways.

Luckily, she was nearing the infirmary. Unfortunately, turning the corner, she noticed two zombie students limping towards the infirmary. Suddenly empowered by worry and dread, Saeko had quickly reached the two zombies and she immediately attacked the closes one with a downward swing to the middle of its head(Men) and the other with a thrust to its neck(Tsuki).

The last zombie hadn't even hit the ground yet when Saeko instantly went for the infirmary and opened the door, only to be shocked when she saw Shizuka, the kind-hearted klutz pointing a butterfly knife at her! Then, before she could react, Shizuka swiftly took hold of Saeko's free hand and had pulled her in.

"Hurry!" Shizuka's urgent tone snapped Saeko out from her daze, causing her to shake her head as she quickly closed the door behind her. Then, locking said door, Saeko took a deep, calming breath, before looking at the slightly haggard nurse.

"Shi-Shizu-san...haa...glad you are fine..." The purple-haired teen was a bit out of breath, and it's an achievement to be honest. She ran through hordes of zombies in tight hallways, killing them at the same time. Saeko should honestly be completely tired by this point, but because of her training, she was only a bit our of breath.

"You too, Sae-chan. Though I can't say the same for the rest." Shizuka voiced out with a shameful voice, gesturing at the students turned zombies in the room. Even the two boys she was with earlier had been turned and was killed by her.

Earlier, a group of students were rushing through the hallway when they neared the infirmary with a group of zombies behind them. Unfortunately for them, there were a trio of zombies that blocked their path, causing them to nearly collide with them because none of them expected any zombies there. However, luckily for them, Shizuka was prepared to take them in due to the mini-map function indicating their location. She was able to pull then in, but as fate would have it, one of the students from the group was bit before entering the infirmary and she immediately turned and bit someone else, who then bit someone else too! And sadly for Shizuka, she wasn't able to save any of them.

Saeko, seeing Shizuka's despondent expression, placed a hand on the older woman's shoulder. Feeling her friend's soft hand on her shoulder, to reassure her, Shizuka felt a little bit happier. Smiling a bit to herself, Shizuka placed a hand on Saeko's, and silence filled the room as they didn't dare to speak.

__/__/__/[[Meanwhile]]

Miyamoto Rei was trying her best to keep herself intact. In just a few hours, she and her childhood friend had argued because of her boyfriend, zombies were real came to her school and started turning humans into zombies, her boyfriend was bit by a zombie, her boyfriend jumped of the roof to stop himself from biting her and turning her into a zombie herself, and now she can't even get a hold onto her mother!!

Though even after all this, Rei tried to hold herself together as she pushed through hordes and hordes of zombies, trying her best to avoid them rather than killing them, because she didn't think of them as zombies, but still as humans. However, there were times she had to kill some zombies, which she hated, with her makeshift spear.

She didn't have a goal, and was just trying to survive due to the sake of living. Luckily, she met up with Takagi Saya, who was a lesser friend of hers through mutual better friends, alone in a not so empty classroom riddled with bodies of her previous school mates.

"Hey..." Saya tiredly greeted Rei when they had made eye contact, and Rei replied with a grateful, albeit horrified nod.

"Get in and close the door." The pinkette instructed as she stood up and pushed a table to the other door of the classroom. And Rei, even if a bit horrified with the thought of Saya having killed all these zombies, followed as instructed and had even blocked the door with the nearest set of chairs.

"Do you...know what happened?" Rei, breaking through the silence, asked Saya. The pinkette was a genius, Rei knew that, and the teen wasn't afraid to let others know that, so, if there would be someone who can get a better understanding of what was happening, it would be the glasses wearing girl with her.

And Saya, seeing how Rei was looking at her, sighed and shook her head. "Honestly, I don't know."

Her answer caused Rei to look down, clearly disappointed and now becoming scared. Though, seeing Rei's reaction, Saya quickly added, "But I'm sure we'll somehow find the answers!"

It wasn't a compelling case, Saya knew that, Rei knew that, they both knew that, but it helped, even of it was only a little bit.

"How are we going out of this? The school's overrun by these...zombies. I can't call anyone... I don't even know what's happening to our friends!" Rei was getting agitated, the stress, sadness, and depression was finally starting to slowly catch up to her, affecting her mind.

"I don't know, Rei-san. I hoped that the police would come save us, but if they had yet to arrive, then this isn't just happening here. Honestly...I think trying a way back home would be better. This place has too many...zombies, and I think we have better chances at going back home, finding others that we can help and that can help °us°" Though Saya was confused with everything that was happening, she tried her best to keep a level head and suggested a possible plan to Rei, who seemed to agree with her.

"Then, for now, let's make a plan to escape school." Saya stated as she got close to Rei, who just nodded. The pinkette saw how troubled her friend was, and she hoped that she could help her out, even by just bit.

__/__/__/

As Saya and Rei began with their plan, Yuki was currently not able to sit in place. She heard it, the screaming and the commotion outside the apartment door. Yuki never would have thought that a day like this would ever come. Zombies. Real life fucking zombies.

It was something you thought would just in movies and fiction, but now that it was here, in real life, one couldn't help but be listless, wanting answers and he scared. Thankfully, Shizuko was able to buy walkie-talkies that they had used to communicate with each other. Currently, Shizuka was safe in the infirmary, together with a the captain of the female Kendo club. The previously traumatized young woman knew that Shizuka was speaking about Busujima Saeko, since she was the well-known around the school. Yuki was grateful that Shizuka has someone like Saeko with her, but she wished that Shizuka was able to come back safely.

Shizuka had planned to come back to the apartment, to pick her up and to get the RV, which was suspiciously filled with survival gear and a lot of food, and using it to pick up Yuriko and Lillian and her daughter. Yuki didn't have a good impression of the two older women, because she knew their game. The pair had tried seducing her Shizuka, but it didn't work due to the nurse's ignorance. But, she was kind-of friends with those two, so she didn't completely hate them.

Though, other than that, it was a bit suspicious that Shizuka was coincidentally preparing for a vacation in the woods when this suddenly happened, but Yuki would never question Shizuka. She was Yuki's Queen, that's all.

__/__/__/[[Slight Timeskip]]

By some miracle, Saya, Rei, Saeko, and Shizuka were all together! And now, all four were hugging it out, or more specifically, hugging Rei as she cried, letting out all her sadness and grief. Rei and Igou were inseparable, they knew that, but with Rei finding Saya all by herself, they could have guessed what has happened.

Though they wanted to continue to support their friend, the zombies wouldn't wait for them to get better. So, with Rei in Shizuka's embrace, Saya had told them her plan of gaining a way out of the school, then looking for help outside, since it was better than staying cooped up in the school. She also added that it would be better if they stay as a group, and go to each of the younger women's parents, but that part of the plan was shot down as Rei's parents would be hard to find with her mother being a police officer and her father working as a detective, and Saeko had no one as her relatives were either abroad or currently away from town. So the only one left to go back to was Saya's parents, and it was almost accepted since her family had weapons and people against the zombies, but Shizuko had taken that part of the plan out.

Shizuko had then confessed that she was a friend of her mother, which made Saya look at her weirdly, but seeing the nurse's innocent curiosity, Saya just sighed and shook her head. The blonde had then given Saya her walkie-talkie to speak with her mother, which surprised everyone as they never would have expected that.

For minutes, Saya and Yuriko had a tearful moment and a private talk, before Saya gave the walkie-talkie back to Shizuka with a grateful expression, and once again, trying to change the plan as her mother wanted to leave her husband's group.

It was then that Shizuka gave her own plan.

"Okay, I suggest that we use my car to escape from here. It should fit us all and it is fairly fast. Then, we'll go to my apartment, because I have someone waiting for me there. She has food and survival gear prepared, something we could use. Then, after picking her up, I have another car, an RV that we could use. Should be able to handle around 8 people, and I coincidentally have more gear in it because I was planning to use it for a vacation/camping trip. Then, after that, we could give Yuriko-chan a call while we pick another friend of mine and her daughter, who should be on the way to Yuriko's. After that, we'll try to find Rei-chan's parents as we look for a safe place to stay for the night. Or maybe go to my friend Rika's house. I'm sure she'll have guns there, since she's part of the prefecture police." Shizuka was out of breath at this point, wanting to rush since they couldn't waste any time. She wished that her friends would agree with her plan, because this was also part of her current mission. One that had suddenly appeared while Saya had explained her own plan earlier.

Thankfully enough, her being the only adult in the group had made her plan more agreeable, so she quickly gave the girls weapons, proper weapons that they could use. Saeko was given a butterfly knife, an extra, Saya a switchblade, and Rei a Karambit. They had naturally asked her how she got those, especially since no one would expect such a gentle nurse to ever have any of them, and Shizuka just shared that it was Rika's old knives from an old collection.

But, anyway, with a plan made, they were ready for the DEAD!

[A/N: Hope I did good on this one!

I wish to post another chap later, but I'mma have to finish my modules first.

Now, the votes:

Second World:

Naruto: 9

Akame Ga Kill: 3

Kim Possible: 5

High School DxD: 3

Arifureta: 2

Demon Slayer: 1

Twilight: 1

Love is War: 1

Naruto's still on the lead, but Kim Possible is catching up.

Love is War is a new addition, and if you want, you can suggest an anime that you want through comments. Do note that I won't put a vote for it if it's something I don't know, have a lack of knowledge of, or am not confident to be able to make a fanfic of.

FYI, I won't kill the MC yet, nor Shido too. The gun geek though, will live, just not part with Shizuka's group.

Also, I just noticed that Shizuka's saving humanity mission wouldn't be complete without a man, and since her group has been practically been all girls, I'll need a man. Don't worry, he won't have a harem or take any of Shizuka's girls.

And I know I could have had Asterix/Derierei do something about that like giving Shizuka a temporary futa transformation pill, or a lab for genetic stuff, but Asterix has to be semi-fair as the System.

Still, hope you like this! Cheers!!]
