Chapter 2 - The Apocalypse

Kai slowly opened his eyes before groaning a bit. His arms felt sore, and his head slightly hurt. He touched his head to notice that his horns had gotten bigger and sharper. He felt his teeth and noticed they had gotten sharper as well.

Kai sat up and looked at his hands. He noticed his fingers going down his hands were black, but the color stopped at his wrists.

He quickly jumped off his bed, grabbed his backpack, and started putting the leftover food in containers and storing them in the backpack.

"Alright, let's see what ability we have." Kai pointed the palm of his hand outwards and started to strain his muscles. Nothing happened. A look of frustration glimpsed over his emotionless face before he tried to imagine some sort of energy before he felt a spark in between his horns.

He focused this power more before the sparks shot back and forth between his horns and spiraled down to his fingers. A ball of red and black liquid bubbled around in his palm.

"What… is this?" he said to himself before thinking of a bullet and looking at the unknown substance in front of him.

After this thought, the substance started to harden and bubble at the same time before it took the shape of a bullet with a mouth and teeth. It made a slight screeching sound before it was blasted into a wall. It went straight through six rooms before turning into a shrapnel of teeth.

'Okay, I have no idea what this ability is,' he thought to himself as he walked by the mirror before looking into it. His eyes were still black, but his pupils in the center were now a crimson red. His ears were also slightly longer than they previously were.

"Wow, how nice." He went to open the door when he heard a loud scream on the other side, followed by a bang.

Creek~

Slowly, he opened the door and looked out to see a woman charging at him with a horrified face. She grabbed his waist and hugged him before looking at his face. Her face went white as she saw his eyes and horns.

Kai looked at her before looking down the hall to see a man with one of his eyes hanging out of his head along with a missing arm with blood covering most of the clothes that were left on his body, walking towards them quickly, Slowly picking up the paste as he walked.

Kai got ready to push the woman out of the way before taking another look at her. His face showed no emotion, but inside his head, he gasped.

'Of course, I ran into one of the main chicks in the story.' He grabbed her arm and dashed at the zombie with the bat. With one single hit to the side, he sent the zombie into the wall. It still squirmed on the ground before it was met with another strike across the head. It no longer squirmed; the zombie was now completely dispatched.

"Are you a monster?!" the woman pushed herself off Kai. He let her go and looked at her.

"No, I'm not one of them. Don't you think I would have attacked you if I was?" he looked at her as he twirled the bat up to his shoulder as blood dripped from the tip of it.

Now that Kai got a good look at her, he was not sure if it was the chick he had previously thought of

An hourglass body with a beautiful face, roughly 5'1 in height, and looking relatively young with short black hair. She wore a pretty revealing outfit: shorts, a sports bra, and a jacket to cover up with running shoes. And to top it off, thigh-high h stockings.

'Rukia Asia' Kai turned away and started walking away from the girl. She quickly followed behind him. Kai let out a sigh, as he didn't feel like taking care of another human, especially one who would soon meet the Mc within another three chapters.

'This chick is bad news at this moment. The only thing she has to offer is her body, and she doesn't have any powers as of now.' Kai opened one of the side doors of the hotel. He slowly reached into his backpack and pulled out his machete before putting away the bat.

The girl stuck close to him before slipping on some blood and falling to the floor with a plop as she fell on her butt. Kai turned his head back and stared at her. She looked like she was dying to cry. There was pure terror all over her face.

"Dumbass," he mumbled as he grabbed her and picked her up before a loud explosion was heard down the street. Kai turned and saw where it was.

Kai started thinking about the scenarios going down and remembers what is happening in the story.

'The zoo is where that explosion is. It's also where Ray is! I must drop this chick off and leave her there for Ray to deal with. She is one of his female leads anyway.' Kai carried her in his arms as he dashed toward the explosion. She protested going the other way, but Kai refused to spend another second with her.

As Kai got close to the zoo, he, as if he had no care in the world, tossed the girl over the Zoo walls and dashed away. There was a group of 6 zombies by the main gate of the zoo

Red and black lighting zapped down from his horns into the palm of his hands before three small bullets with teeth and mouths was created. They shot and hit the heads of three of the six zombies there.

Kai looked at the zombies as they scratched at there heads before one of there eyes could seen seen falling out before a mouth came out of the eye socket and ate the eyeball. A worm like creature slithered out of the socket eating the zombies face before re entering its head. Growing bigger as it ate.

The zombies that had been shot stopped struggling before turning towards the other three zombies and marching towards them and biting at them. The zombies started to fight one another and Rio apart each other.

Once the other zombie that hadn't been shot but into the head of the zombie with the work it instantly recoiled as the worm that had grown significantly could be seen entering through its mouth. It now had four long skinny legs and 4 eyes going down its body.

The zombie pulled itself back and slammed its face against the ground before breaking its skull. The other two zombies suffered a similar fate before the creatures popped themselves out of the zombies and melted before turning back into lightning and going into Kai's horns once again.

'That's a pretty sick power. That could have so many uses in late-game progression.'Kai said as he looked at the zombie dead and mangled corpses before another explosion went off by the fence of the zoo.

A guy with black hair leading a group of people walked out of the zoo. The man scanned the area before running off with the group after a skinny boy pointed out a bus to him.

Kai had ducked behind a car in the parking lot.

"Not a good idea to get involved with him yet but maybe later today."

Kai sneaked away from the group silently.
