There was once a girl who lived in a little village by the sea. She was the prettiest and brightest little girl in the village, everyone loved her. They took care of her as one of their own. There are two things she loved the most; the people and the sea. She loved swimming, diving, and sailing, everything about the sea. Until one day, the very thing she loved, ripped everything away from her.
On one fated Friday, 26 December 2004, the Indian Ocean Earthquakes created a series of 30-meter tsunamis that swept across 14 countries and claimed the lives of more than 220,000 people.
The Indonesian city of Banda Aceh reported the largest number of victims. The earthquake was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. The little girl lost her home and everyone she ever loved, her parents and the villagers all died. Somehow, she happens to be the sole survivor from the village.
During the rescue mission, a high-ranking naval officer found her in the wreckage and took her in. She was only 15 years old. Since then, the Navy became her family. She graduated from the Maritime Academy and continued other studies in nautical science. She took the officers course and excelled throughout her military career, specializing in navigation and seafaring.
Many years later Commander Tom, a respected captain of a navy destroyer, was drawn to her talent for command and took her as his number two. She is now Lieutenant Commander Karra.
The coming doomsday, the disease, dead bodies, and zombies made her remember all her traumatic past. The disaster also become a vivid reminder of her desire to help her people.
Doomsday +1 16:00
Lt Commander Karra's unit with Benny and Lieutenant Russel's unit, currently still defending the Bay city from hundreds of zombies who keep flowing in from the East. The ear blaring sound of gunfights have attracted zombies, the defense team struggles on holding down the city from seemingly endless waves of zombies using melee weapons. There are now more than 1,000 men standing by the unit in fighting against the coming hordes.
"Lieutenant Russel, this is crazy! We are fighting an abomination here!"
"Stop complaining and focus on the zombies!"
Though Lieutenant Commander Karra did finish her maritime academy, she never had any combat experiences. Except for the frog commandos who occasionally received a special mission. The daily Navy task involves; capturing illegal fishing boats, sea smugglers or helping to evacuate boats or airplanes crashes accident in the seas. It would suffice to say that when it comes to facing the undead, none of Navy soldiers would be mentally prepared.
Lieutenant Russell, on the other hand, has gone through many life and death experiences before.
As for Benny, he just really care about the people and always strive to do the best he can.
After a few hours, the situation in the Bay city actually slowly getting under control, most fighters eventually get the hang of killing the zombies. They also start to cooperate with each other better. More and more survivor joined the group in fighting the zombies. The time has come for them to start marching towards Amapura city.
"Commander!! A message just came through"
"..."
"Yes, yes I understand"
.
.
"Listen up! We got an urgent assignment, we will bring the ships to support the South sections. Mr. Benny, Your job is to assist Lieutenant Russel here. The Navy sailors and officers will come with me, the commandos will stay with you."
.
"Let me and my squad accompany you, Commander," Sergeant Joni said.
Having special forces on a rescue mission is not a bad idea. She confirmed with a nod.
.
.
Benny continues defending the Bay city while hundred experienced defenders follow Lieutenant Russel on their march towards the Amarapuara.
.
Lt Commander Karra and 30 men gathered to start boarding the Fatahillah destroyer.
This is the first time ever that Lt commander Karra board as the captain of Fatahillah and took leadership of the bridge.
"Engine start.. check!"
"Lieutenant Torry Set a course to the South!"
Lieutenant Torry is the youngest officer on the bridge and replacing her position as the navigator.
"Set Sail!!"
The whole preparation took half an hour and the trip expected will take one hour to reach its destination. Lt Commander Karra was in the bridge when suddenly a group of Navy soldier break in and ambushed her...
"..."
"Sergeant Joni, what's the meaning of this??!"
.
"Sorry Commander, me and the crew decided we cant follow your order..."
"..."
Karra replied... "We are the Navy, we uphold the military command, it was commander Tom's mission, and also our mission to help Bali in facing this disaster!"
To which Sr Joni answered "With all due respect Commander.. what mission? And which command? I believe by now the central command is no longer in existence... We are not like those people out there, they are currently fighting for their home... but what about OUR home? Lieutenant Peter here supports me, he would very much like to go home and check on his mother... many others feel the same... We are not like those commandos and Deathsquads, most of them have no family... We thought this is a good window of opportunity. We can use the ship and go back home... together! What do you say to that, Commander?"
Commander Karra, look at the dozen faces that currently on the bridge in suspense waiting for her decision. People in the Navy normally closer with each other than the Army, most of them would spend months even years between themselves in a contained space. The commander can see their faces in agony. They just lost many colleges and friends with the disease and watching the zombies actually attacking and eating human beings is taking its toll. If only commander Tom is here, he would know how to best handle this situation. Unfortunately, he too got infected and died. It's all on her now.
"I understand... we are all afraid... I promise I will make sure each of you has an opportunity to do just that! But as for this very moment, people are counting on us! Their lives are on the line and we have a duty to uphold..."
.
"NO!!" sergeant Joni seems very agitated... He pulled up a gun "I DEMAND that you send us home NOW!"
.
Everyone in the room were noticeably more nervous.
.
"Sergeant, this is not what we discussed," Lieutenant Peter said.
"That's enough!!!" the young Lieutenant Torry too tried to stop the escalating tension.
.
The situation becomes chaotic.
Lt Commander Karra saw an opening, she charged into the armed Sergeant"
"..."
BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!
Three shots were fired...

Doomsday +1 17:00
"Mr. Alex, the APV machine gun ammunition is almost empty, what should we do?"
Alex knew there are at least 150 survivors holding up in the airport. With full authority, he responded...
"We have enough space for only 90 people in the APV. These vehicles will take you to safety in the North. I asked for 30 volunteers to stay behind."
Alex took what he can, 90 survivors, into the APV mostly children, elders, and the injured and move them out of the airport. Before leaving, the APV managed to empty out its grenade launcher supplies.
KABOOMMM!!.. KABOOMMM!!.. KABOOOMMM!!
Dozens of explosions spread out all around the airport, thus successfully created an opening for the APV to went through...
.
That left the units plus 60 locals with no vehicles as an escape.
"What now?" Captain Adnan asked.
"This is our chance... the explosion creates an opening, let's move to the airport's warehouse. It'll provide a form of barrier for defense and it's also the closest building to the ocean.. not a second to spare, let's move it, NOW!"
The group arrived in the warehouse and quickly set up barricades...
"How much ammo do we have left..?"
"Not much"
"Conserve the bullets and use melee weapons instead.
"Mr. Alex, there are hundred thousands of zombies out there, without firearm we won't last an hour."
Major Sandi said, "These zombies are actually not that hard to kill, we should be fine without guns."
"Don't underestimate them Major.."
Before Alex got a chance to finish his sentence..
.
GROOAAAARRRRRRRR
.
Every pair of eyes were stunned...
"What is THAT???!"
"That's the mutated one. 12 hours have passed. Some would have turned into the mutated ones by now... There are hundred thousand zombies out there, I reckon there are at least a few dozens of the mutated ones."
.
The group saw from the windows how fierce the mutated one moves.. It was a fearsome sight...
.
.
GROAAARRR!!!
.
BANG!!
Seemingly out of nowhere, the mutated red zombie head exploded, right before their eyes!
"..."
"Nothing to worry about..." Aria snipes through the window...
"I saw more coming.. be prepared!"
"How long till reinforcements arrive?"
.
"They should arrive within the hour"
.
.
"..."
