In what was once a part of elite city was now a wasteland, filled with terrifying creature known as zombies. These mindless flesh eaters roamed the ground mindlessly, in search of flesh as they pounced on every living thing on sight.
Up in the air, a hovering SUV made it's way across the hoardes of zombies down. Looking at the car one knew it was definitely a spacecar, but the real question was how it was still active. The evolution of the earth came with many characteristics, and such was the disablement of all flying cars known as spacecars. The flying SUV looked to be in good shape, and if one looked closer they could see some figures in it.
"Fuck! w-what happened to her." Sole bitterly uttered, tears streaming down his eyes as he stared at his best friend. He could see a large chunk of flesh was missing from her neck, around with blood flowing out.
"I was too late, she was bitten." Kaiser indifferently spoke with no sort of remorse, only a bit of regret shone in his eyes. Hearing this revelation the others face widen in shock, staring at Atlanta who was struggling for her life. Well at least for the meantime.
'sighs.. It's a shame, I really had high hopes for her.' Zane Inwardly muttered controlling the spacecar, glancing back through the rear mirror. A look of regret and pity shone in his face, staring at the girl who'd sacrificed her life for them.
"S-so what's going to happen now?" Tippy shakily said, tears dripping down his cheeks. He wasn't the strongest but the opposite, and he didn't do well with horrific shit and all that. but somehow, this purple haired girl despite being at loggerheads put aside their differences, and sacrificed herself for them.
"There's no other option, we have to eliminate her." Zain coldly said without any emotion, causing the group to stare at him weirdly.
"E-eliminate her?" Mira's eye twitched upon hearing this, as purple lightning could be seen cracking around her arm.
"How could you be so fucking cruel to just discard her after all she's done for you bastards!" Mira's rage couldn't be hindered and the lightning around her testified to this, by shooting out upwards in a straight line leaving a hole.
"You know am right. if she's truly bitten, then it wouldn't be long before she turns into one of those things. I know it's hard I understand, but sacrifices must be made for the greater good." Zain honestly spoke with an emotionless tone, staring back at Mira who looked at him blankly.
'Eliminate her? I-i can't possibly do that..' Mira mumbled gazing at Atlanta unconscious, squirming on the three seats at the back of this SUV. She knew Zain was right but she didn't dare to accept it, after all how could she? She'd sworn alliance to Atlanta to protect her with her life, but she'd failed whole fully. and now, she was about to end the life of the girl she swore to protect?
"I-i can't do it.." Mira stuttered with wide eyes, softly seating on a seat in the second row of the spacecars. She just couldn't bear to do such hideous thing, to her long time friend.
"I understand.. Kaiser, you finally get the opportunity to get your revenge." Zain softly said, staring at Kaiser through the rear mirror. He could see the latter had a look of surprise and confusion on his face, looking at everyone in the car.
"No, don't you fucking touch her!" Sole shouted, clutching Atlanta's body refusing to let go. Tears streamed down his eyes watching his friend in this state, but he wasn't going to let go of her. He'd failed her once before, and he wasn't going to do that again.
"Look you dumbass, the more she live the more pain she's in. Is that what you want for your friend? to be in a great ordeal of pain!" Zain shouted annoyed by soles childish and clingy attitude, as he was just delaying the inevitable.
"N-no.."
"Then you have to make a tough decision and let her rest in peace. As you know, it wouldn't be long before she turns into a zombie. What would you do then? when she's not you friend, but just a flesh eating monster that craves your flesh!" Sole shouted loudly, drawing everyone's attention towards him. He knew every second Atlanta spent still breathing, meant the more dire situation they'd be in if she finally turned.
"No.. I still can't let you kill her like a fucking dog, s-she deserves to live just like anyone of us. And we don't know, but there might be a way to save her." Sole tried to comfort himself there was a way to save Atlanta from becoming a zombie, but deep down he knew in his heart there was none yet.
"You've wasted enough of our time. Kaiser, do it now." Zain ordered to which Kaiser nodded slightly. He still held his golden sword with a bit black and blue, as he gazed towards Atlanta.
"Get away." Sole sent his fist out to Kaiser's head who just blocked, swiftly landing a punch of his own head on sole's face. The latters head bounced back, but he wasn't knocked out yet. using the momentum to forcefully headbut Kaiser.
"Argh." Kaiser grunted stunned a bit by that attack, as he was now bleeding from his nostrils. He didn't know how, but sole's head was incredibly much harder than the normal humans skull.
Gritting his teeth, Kaiser could see sole had sent out his fist again to his heart region. He could feel the power that punch carried, and he knew he'd be dead if that attack met. Instead of shifting his body or moving a bit, Kaiser just simply blocked by raising his sword a bit to his chest.
Sole seeing this was a bit shocked and amused seeing Kaiser block with his sword, but he didn't stop still continuing on in his attack.
'Bam!' The attack collided with force, sending vibrations down both parties spine. Sole could feel something was off about this sword, as he could feel it affecting it's body.
"You're just a dumb blockhead." Kaiser scoffed at sole's inexperienced attitude, before grinning evily.
"Drain." Kaiser uttered one word and his golden sword responded to this, coming to life glowing a bit more brightly. Sole watched with wide eyes, as faint white light emitted from his body going into the sword.
'What is this?' Panic and fear loomed in sole's eye, seeing how easily he fell into Kaiser's trap. He wanted to break free and retrieve his hand but he couldn't, as it looked like he was under some sort of paralysis effects. The others stared in shock seeing Kaiser draining sole of his energy, but they didn't utter a beep or interfered in the slightest. Even Mira was still in some sort of mentally paralyzed state, as she couldn't help but sut down in fear.
In less than two minutes sole's energy had been completely drained by Kaiser, going into his strange golden sword. Sole could feel the strength leave his body as he struggled to breath, just having his energy being stolen from him.
Using the hilt of his sword, Kaiser forcefully shoved it down to sole's face drawing out blood. Surprisingly sole wasn't knocked out yet, but 3 more strikes from Kaiser corrected that mistake. With no more hindrance, Kaiser now had full access to fulfill his mission with Atlanta.
Gripping his sword tightly he brought it up, the tip pointing downwards to Atlanta still struggling in pain. He was about descending down on her, when he heard a faint yet audible voice spoke.
"Please, make it quick and painless." Mira softly muttered. Kaiser was undoubtedly shocked in his tracks, witnessing Mira speak those words. He'd expected her to stop him or attack him, but never did he at all expect her to urge him to make it quick.
With a light nod he then focused back down to Atlanta. Looking at her, memories of the past and present flashed before his eyes. Yes she'd disgraced him and his gang, but was that enough reason to kill her? He wanted to get revenge, but this wasn't what he had planned and he was left in a tight position.
She was going to turn into a flesh eater any second now, and attack them. It was either they ended her life now or she ended theirs, either ways it was going to be a tough decision.
'I have to do it.' Kaiser grunted not thinking about it anymore, his hands were shaking as his sword hovered above her head. There were traces of regret, anger, and a hint of guilt in his eyes staring at her.
Zain could see Kaiser was hesitant in his attack, so he gave him a little motivation to help him accomplish his task.
"S-she would do the same if it were you." Zain said, and Kaiser's eye immediately went wide. Shaking his head Kaiser knew what he had to do, as he shoved the sword down to Atlanta's head. In that split second as that the sword descended down, Kaiser remembered sole's words.
'What if there's a way to save her?' At first, he thought it was just a reason sole came up with to reassure himself. but thinking more about it, what if there was a way to save her? He wasn't sure there was, but if truly there was then it would be a great step in recovering, most of humans turned into zombies.
'Swoosh.. ha.. ha.." Kaiser pulled out on his attack just before it collided, as he panted heavily.
"What are you doing Kaiser? We can't save her and you know it, don't be a fool." Zain angrily said, but Kaiser calmly shook his head.
"No am not killing her just yet. She managed to save our lives, and am no idiot to understand that. If there's a way to save her then am willing to take that risk." Kaiser boldly spoke staring at Atlanta. Zain stared at him awkwardly for a while, before a light smile slowly formed on his lips.
'I may want to kill you, but not like this. I want you at your full potential so I can make you bleed.' Kaiser inwardly thought, coldly darting his eyes to Atlanta.
