HPHS Zombie Game/Roche's idea
From Create Your Own Story
Everyone starts getting pumped up. Lucas Marin has Nathan massage his muscles. Honestly, I don't know about those guys. Eli asks for some 'alone time,' and heads to the closet with a determined look on his face. Elena takes a nap on me. Zoe and I talk for a while, and then I just watch the teachers.
Roche has five cigarettes in his mouth at once, and is taking 'a last cigarette' to the extreme. Ruck follows Eli's example, and picks another closet. Lassiter is meditating, and I think Wilson is snorting something. I'm beginning to think that that powder wasn't iced tea mix.
"Time to go," says Roche, and pulls out a pistol. He kicks Jimmy awake and smiles. "I've been waiting to do that all year."
The group forms a mass against the door to the hallway, which is still covered in zombies. I can see them slathering against the glass, and the blood and drool forms a waterfall down the door.
We heave against the door as one, and it flies open, scattering the undead all over the place. Roche and Lassiter were in front, guns blazing and Ruck, Marin, Jason, and Zoe were thrashing at the horde with bats and metal sticks. I joined Eli, Elena, Jon, and Wilson in cleaning up those zombies that didn't get crushed by the initial attack. I didn't see Nathan or Jimmy anywhere, and I assumed they'd slipped back into the door.
The fighting only really took a minute or two, but it seemed like much longer. I was covered in blood and sweat and had started hanging back to avoid the full on fight. I saw Lassiter go down, still firing blasts into zombies, ripping out their stomachs and spewing their intestines all over the floor. Wilson took out the zombie that had attacked him, but was floored by another, who looked like he'd once been John Buck. Roche put a bullet through his brain.
Ruck, Marin, and Jason were ripping through any zombie that got in front of them, but one of them which had been crawling on the floor after having its legs broken by Lassiter grabbed him and tripped him up. Jason and Marin didn't pause, but Ruck was swarmed in a matter of seconds.
I don't think we could have gotten through that fight without Jon. He stayed calm and cool and managed to take out anything that came at him by choosing his strikes carefully. Anything he hit was crushed, anything that attacked him went down. He smashed through Lars, Sam Stein, and Benjy in only thirty seconds.
When the battle subsided, the hallway was covered in a sticky coating of blood that stretched from wall to wall and was even splattered across the ceiling in some areas. All of my friends were left, but three of the teachers were down, leaving only Roche. Just like I'd guessed, Jimmy and Nathan had been hiding in the lounge the whole time.
"What do we do now?" Jason asked.
Do you
