Chapter 12: How Things Goes So Far

Year: 1 | Month: 6 | Week: 1 | Day 3: Should I? Or Should I Not? Part 2

(Tokonosu City: Fujimi Academy: Parking Lot)

"Now, now. We don't want to do something we may regret here." The teacher said in a nervous voice, covered in cold sweat and very afraid of the man before him. Who already has a loaded gun aiming directly at him, freaking him out like a lot.

I raise an eyebrow, then press my sunglasses back up, causing some to sigh in relief that they don't have to continue staring down by my glowing eyes. I really need to figure out how to turn it off at will. Because at some point, I won't have my sunglasses at the time.

"Why would I regret killing anyone?" I ask in a calm voice, as my inner rage started surfacing up again.

Of course, I made sure to suppress it the best I can when I'm around my pregnant wives at the time.

But, my rage is really building up. After the whole grief phase, now it the rage phrase. And I rather not find out when I snap, with those I cared are nearby and end up saying something I will regret to them. So yeah, not going to like the time when I reach my breaking point.

"Because every life is precious?" Asia asks me in an innocent tone, causing those with dark hearts to look at Asia with mixed emotions, which wasn't good.

"That depends on who lives it is, Asia." I said to Asia, who blinks at me and looks around her, where she noticed some of her classmates look the same to her.

I roll my eyes when I forgot how this Asia grow up unlike her canon version and should have seen this coming.

"This guy's life here isn't precious at all. To be exact, he's willing to kill everyone to save his own precious life. Consider, that he only cares about himself." I said to Asia, while the person I'm talking about was too scared to move or speak at the moment, with [Hades] pointing directly at him, ready to blow his head to a bloody mess.

"Wh-WHAT THE FUCK?!" One of the students behind the 'startled' me upon speaking out of nowhere, causing me to pull the trigger, blasting a hole through the teacher's head, killing him instantly and scatter his brain matter and blood all over the back the school bus.

"Oopsie. You startle me." I said in a deadpan tone, causing those that know me well realize I did this on purpose and wanted a reason, even if it is a lame one, to kill the teacher.

"Are you crazy?! You just killed someone in cold blood! Why would you shoot?!" Saya shouted at me with a panic voice, where some of the students backed away from me in horror that I just killed someone that's not a Zombie.

"Didn't I just say I was startled? Not my fault someone spoke out of turn, causing me to shoot by accident. Just be glad it wasn't someone important." I replied to Saya in the same deadpan tone. Not showing any sign of caring that I just killed a defenseless man in cold blood.

In fact, thanks to this, my inner rage calms down somewhat like I had a bone to pick with this teacher. I can't remember why, but I rather not think about it too much unless it gives me a headache or causes my rage to rise up again.

Baby Beel started squealing in the excitement of seeing blood, 'That's a Demon Baby for ya. Excited for things that non-Demon would find excited; well, this dimension of Demons to be exact.' I mentally shook my head at the way Baby Beel is reacting to a human I killed.

"That still doesn't make it right! Holy crap! We are in so much trouble!" Saya cries out in a panic.

"Why would we be in so much trouble?" I was confused about this, then remember how these kids still have their mindsets about their daily lives before the whole canon event started.

"The police, the army, whatever law enforcers will show are going to put you and the rest of us in prison for taking someone's life!" Saya shouts at me, as her mind still hasn't completely settled in that the world is no longer normal.

"Pretty sure they are a bit too busy with all the Zombies around to care about us." Reiri responded to Saya's ranting, "Plus, you should be happy someone strong as Asia's father here to protect us. Otherwise, we will have a bit harder time to survive."

What Reiri didn't say was that both herself and Riza will be able to survive this whole Zombies event easily as long they keep fighting in a certain distance away from the Zombies from biting them.

"Yes, I know that. I just want to get this out of my system before I snap in an important conversation in the not too far into the future." Saya took a deep breath after releasing all her frustration and rage after going through all the past few hours.

"Right. You girls know where to go. I'm going to do some cleaning up." I said to my daughter and the others that I've spoken with before this whole Zombie event started.

I smash a window nearest to me with my left elbow, causing some of the students to scream at the sound of the window bus destroyed, then quickly jump out, even with the bus still moving.

Once I'm out, I see countless Zombies around me, even below me, which I used as a temporary platform for me to step on and launch myself back into the air.

Then, with the extra air time, I started killing the Zombies around me with [Hades] while not bother to use the [Bell of Silence] to prevent other Zombies to gather around me, which I need them to.

"You Zombies are going to be my stress reliever." I allow a familiar insane smile to appear on my face. As my suppress rage burst out of me.

Six shots, and I clear out a small area for me to land without ending up getting bitten by a nearby Zombie the moment I land.

Using [Projection] to create the [Harbinger] as I toss [Hades] into my [Interspatial Ring] at the same time, the projected [Harbinger] appeared in my right hand.

Switching it from [4th Form: Inactive] to the [1st Form: Greatsword], then spin around, slicing all the Zombies near me before they could even take a step toward me.

All this is done in a single second.

I didn't bother about how the Zombies in the other blocks are gathering towards me and how the bus is leaving further away from me.

To make sure more Zombies gather towards me, I switch [Harbinger] to [2nd Form: Shotgun], then fired a couple of shots at nearby Zombies to make more space for me to move. At the same time creating even louder noise to force the Zombies further away from my area, to head toward my location.

Deploying [Ecological Derivation System] to see how far the others have driven and noticed they just a couple of blocks away, but soon to be stopped due to the traffic.

I roll my eyes at how little time it took for other people heading for the bridge, I think? I can't recall everything from the Highschool of the Dead at the moment.

So, I just start swinging the [Harbinger] and cutting off Zombies' heads. As without that, they stay dead and aiming for the necks is a lot easier to do when these Zombies barely at walking speed.

If anything, with just a calm mind and a good sharp weapon, then you can hopefully survive this whole Zombies event. Well, if you have the physical body for endurance, to last for a long time, speed to escape from a mob of Zombies, and the strength to wield that sharp weapon without ending up losing it due to a loose grip.

Other than that, learn some [Survival Skills] or use the abilities belongs in the supernatural world. Then, you have a better survival against Zombies.

Which is why I lost my rage and crazy insane smile. After an entire minute of slaughtering these Zombies, that end up being a chore than anything else at this point.

With how easily I'm taking care of these Zombies with just the [Harbinger] in [Greatsword Form]. I didn't even switch it to the [Scythe Form] yet and I'm killing these Zombies like insects.

"Crap. Now it laziness." I mumble to myself, as I realize that after releasing all my rage, then the next emotion came in. Which is boredom and close to being lazy. This isn't good for me.

Since I need to do things and being lazy would defeat that purpose. I frown a little, then try my best to suppress the urge to find a quiet place to take a nap.

After a while, I dismiss the projected [Harbinger] and bring out [Hades], after a quick reloads, then started shooting down all the Zombies in range, then reload upon firing all the [Bullets]. Repeating this until I walked out of the school's Parking Lot.

Then I felt my danger sense acting up when I just realized I left Baby Beel behind!

Quickly, I use [Reduced Earth] to catch up to the other before Baby Beel started crying. And I have no doubt Baby Beel's lightning will hit me from the long distance between us. So, I start using the [Flame Alchemy Transmutation Circle] at a shorter and less explosion way until I burn away all the Zombies, but not the school building, no matter how much I wanted to.

A few minutes later*

(Tokonosu City)

Good thing I have [Reduced Earth] or I may end up having to push myself to run through lots of Zombies and buildings to reach the others.

Anyway, I made it back to the bus before Baby Beel started crying, even after all the work I have done raising him not to cry right away. I should be glad he didn't the very second I left.

"Well, I killed all the Zombies back at the school." This was the first thing I said the moment I got back inside the bus, scaring almost everyone inside due to my sudden appearance.

Then pick Baby Beel from Asia and place him on my shoulder, where he got an iron-like grip, which not many babies should have the strength to do so unlike Baby Beel.

Baby Beel started making baby noises at me, like he mad at me for leaving him before when I should have taken him with me.

I rub Babel Beel's head, to show I'm sorry while ignoring the others in the bus, where they are looking at me in disbelief.

I tilt my head to the side, then draw [Hades] and fire on my left, where a Zombie just burst out of a car in front of us.

Showing that the driver of that car was bitten and just finished turning into a Zombie. But, was killed by me the moment it came out of its little cage.

I start noticing that there more people bitten than canon as if a cue, the people exiting their cars before they finished turning into a Zombie.

"I vote we abandon this bus. But, I'm not bringing everyone with me though. So don't get any idea of tagging along, because I will shoot." I didn't bother to hide the fact that I'm willing to kill others then allow them to come along unwanted. Plus, I could have lied again about how I misfired, but I didn't as it would be too much work to do. And I just realize that my new forced emotion, laziness or whatever, is already influencing me more than I thought.

I reach into my jacket, then projected some [Throwing Knives], then with the snap of my right wrist, I've already thrown all the [Throwing Knives] and all of them land at each of the Zombies' heads, either the front, side, back, all been hit by a single [Throwing Knife]. Killing these Zombies in a single second.

I repeat this action until 30 meters radius is empty of Zombies and people.

"Come on kids. Time for us to leave." I exit the bus from the front instead of the window like last time.

Quickly, the students and the busty blonde nurse follow me out of the bus, while the students in the back of the bus tried to follow, but one shot from [Hades] warned them to wait until my group leaves before they could exit the bus.

"Do you think that was too much?" Takashi whispers to Saya, who looks at back at him with a raised eyebrow. "He literally killed a teacher and stopping our fellow classmates from coming with us to a safe place. Shouldn't we just be on our own instead of following a killer to his home?"

"Sure, I would have agreed with you in separating ourselves from Asia's father, but I would be lying to myself that I wanted to. Since it's a lot safer if I were to stick with him, who is a professional in this whole killing thing or whatever he does. Plus, my parents should have headed to where Asia's father's home is. With the defense built there make it the safe location out of this entire City. I think." Saya replied with a hint of sarcasm in the beginning and wonder if her parents would really heading towards her friend's house, the moment the Zombies are everywhere in the City.

"But, he's a killer!" Takashi whispers to Saya in a worried tone and made sure to glance at the said killer, afraid they may be killed next.

"Doesn't matter. He could be a retired soldier for all we know. After all, trained soldiers are trained killers. So just deal with it for now." Saya replied sharply, causing Takashi to flinch at how harsh Saya snap at Takashi. "Plus, Asia's father is a family friend, along with the rest of his family." Saya made sure to add this before her childhood friend decides to speak with his foot in his mouth again. This could lead to everyone being abandoned without the protection of Asia's father, something Saya would rather not happen.

"Same here, with the family's friends part and Asia's father know how to fight to protect others when he needs to." Saeko agreed with Saya, as she was right next to them and clearly heard everything.

The other students nearby that overheard this conversation look at both Saya and Saeko with disbelief looks, wondering who are they really following.

"Don't think too much about it. Trust me, it will hurt your small brain." Reiri grin at Takashi and those that don't know about a single thing about the family filled with being from the supernatural world.

"And what's that suppose to mean?" Rei growl at Reiri for mocking them. It wasn't a secret that Rei and Reiri don't get along with each other, even before the Zombies appeared.

"It could mean many things. It depends on what those things are and if your simple mind could even comprehend them." Reiri let a small giggle.

Rei wanted nothing more than punch Reiri in the face. But, that would make things troublesome for her as well if she did so. Reiri have an ally that wouldn't care for the consequence and will for a fight anytime. Even killing her would also be an option if things get bad.

"Lay off them already Reiri. We don't need all of us arguing with each other while there Zombies near us." Riza warns Reiri before she goes too far, not like the Vampire would listen to a Werewolf, but willing to stay quiet for now.

I glance away and stop eavesdropping onto their conversations and continue to search for any nearby Zombies that need to be killed or people to be killed as well.

A few minutes later*

(Tokonosu City: Hime's Mansion)

It's a good thing Hime's Mansion wasn't too fared away that it takes days on foot to reach from the school.

However, what I didn't expect upon our arrival.

Pyrrha rushes out of the Mansion and jumps into my arms, causing me to unconsciously spin around to bleed out the momentum before dropping her back on her feet, as Pyrrha kiss me on the lip.

Must to the embarrassed of some of the female students while the male students are blushing and trying their best to look away from the beautiful woman they have ever seen before their eyes.

"Okay then, did something happen or what? Shouldn't you be watching over our daughter?" I ask Pyrrha after we finished kissing. "And should I expect the other to do the same the moment I enter?"

Pyrrha smiled at me and didn't bother to remove her arms around my neck. "Nah, they're watching over the babies. But, Yoruichi is out at the moment, trying to see how far the Zombies have spread and if it had spread outside this City." Pyrrha informed me, then finally look at the others behind me. "Oh, Saeko, Saya! Great to see you again. Glad that no one was bitten. By the way, I just got a call from your parents, Saya. They've already started working building up a haven for survival at their location. And Saeko, your father said you can stay with us for the time being as he searches for a way to come here." Pyrrha greeted the two female students she knows besides Asia, Riza, and Reiri, which she welcomes them back from school, that they will never return after this whole Zombie Apocalypse is over.

"Thank you for allowing me to stay, Mrs. Nikos." Saeko bow to Pyrrha, showing respect to Pyrrha.

"Excuse me, do you mind if I use the phone? I need to call my parents to let them know I'm alive and well." Saya requested to use the phone inside the mansion.

"Go ahead. Just make sure to use the one in the living room." Pyrrha replied, not bother to explain why Saya could only use the one in the living room, but Saya didn't question this and just gave her thanks and hurry into the Mansion.

Before I could even say anything to the other like try their best to relax and other things and see how their lives will be with the whole Zombies appearing now. Pyrrha continues off, "Be sure not to cause any trouble. Saeko, make sure to show them where Saya is." Afterward, Pyrrha drags me back into the Mansion and through the hallway, until we enter a room, where my family is, along with Sherwood.

(Tokonosu City: Hime's Mansion: Random Bedroom)

"You know how we have been pushing you away while we were doing our mother-children bonding exercises?" Pyrrha asks me, as I notice I'm being forced to sit in a comfy chair, that made me want to take a nap on it.

I even found myself holding my kids now, where all of them are looking at me and Baby Beel, and in return, Baby Beel look back at his little siblings.

"Yeah?" I replied back in a tired tone, which was noticed by many in the room, who knew about my little mental problem. This is easily figures out what the next unstable emotion hitting me with the way I'm acting right now.

"Well, it was really just a short thing to do. So no need to worry about us tossing you away just because you gave us kids to spoil." Pyrrha looks at her husband with a sad face, knowing that she technically just ignored her lover while completely focus on their kids.

"I don't mind." I'm pretty sure I lied without being found out, thanks to my tone being influenced by my unstable emotion, "After all, I was given enough time to create some [Mystic Codes] for me to use."

To prove my point, I bring out [Hades], which Shigure snatches out of my hand the moment it appeared.

"Well, we mind." Serafall pout at me, "I know the feeling of being alone. So, it wasn't right for leaving you alone and after what Pyrrha and Shigure told about your mental state. Hell, I think you haven't even recovered from that at all."

"I feel fine." And I knew at that exact moment, I screwed up by saying those three words.

All the girls, not including Hime, Hilda, and Sherwood, rise from their seats and glared at me, like I just said one of the stupidest things to say.

"Don't shout, the babies will cry." I quickly throw out this warning before my wives start shouting at me. And to my relief, the girls just frown at me instead and their glare softens a little as they stare at me with concern. "Also, why did you girls force me to carry all the babies? Not that I don't mind carrying my own kids. But, I'm pretty sure holding more than two kids is a bit dangerous." I said to everyone, that are my wives.

"Hmm. He does have a good point. Maybe we should have bought in a bed or something, for him to lay in along with the babies?" Serafall folds her arms under her breasts and nodded to herself.

"We do that later." Shigure didn't even bother to return [Hades] back to me and put it in her [Inventory], which I rolled my eyes that I should have seen this coming.

Luckily, I can just create a copy with [Projection] and wait until she returns the original back to me. So no complaint from me since there is a high chance I may lose it or break it at some point.

"Right now, we need to talk about how we are going to do this. Are we going to return back to Serafall and Yoruichi's dimension or look for another to call it our own?" Shigure finally revealed the reason why Pyrrha dragged me here and not end up in an orgy party, no complaining from me, even with the new laziness influence me.

"Wait, we're going to talk about that again? I thought we talked about that months ago?" I look confused about this, then again, they wanted to talk about it in a calm manner while not being pregnant at the time.

"Really? Because I'm pretty sure the only thing I remember was that there are lots of pain at and barely anything about this." Serafall looks at me with her own confused look, which some of the girls put up the same expression as Serafall and me.

"Alright then, I guess we can talk about this. But, can someone help me out here? I'm a bit afraid of dropping one of the babies. Again, whose idea was to give me all the babies? Even if they kind of okay?" I glance at my daughters and sons, with Baby Beel making baby noise to Jomei.

Look like Baby Beel is trying to teach Jomei something, but all Jomei did was drool and look at Baby Beel, who is trying his best to teach his little brother about something, which I'm having a bit of a hard time translating due to how to fast he 'talking'.

"Well, if you give me enough time. I could gather enough [System Points] and max out the [Second Magic] and maybe I can open a pathway to the Remnant universe." I said this to both Pyrrha and Shigure, who had their eyes widen a little at this and remember that almost anything is possible as long you have the [System Points] and the right type of [System].

Both Pyrrha and Shigure look at each other, knowing how broken the [Systems] are. After all, it gives one's immortality to their hosts and with enough [System Points]. One can travel to another new universe.

"Wait, isn't that bad though? Seeing how back in our universe. Things weren't so good and would cause the babies to be in great danger." Pyrrha quickly got her overprotected mother mode on.

"True. But, I mean like a parallel version of the Remnant universe. That way we can see how our counterparts would do if there was a certain key point done differently." What I didn't say was that the chance of seeing a counterpart of myself and Shigure, along with anyone else in the Arcana Organization before my 'death' is mostly at zero.

Since most of those parallel dimensions, let alone being all in the same dimension like before. One or two, maybe a few, but never going to be the exact same. I can just tell with the [Second Magic] at [Rank: Basic].

"Hmm. A world where we don't have bad parents, grandparents, family in general." Pyrrha thought out loud, "Now, this is something I got to see."

"It may not even be the same family, Pyrrha." I made sure to point this out before she thinks there is a countless version of us, but I know that Shigure and I, along with selected others don't belong in the main universe of RWBY.

"Either way, we need to think about where we should go. We could return back to the previous dimension before coming here to deal with all the unwanted business." Serafall has this glint in her eyes, that says she really wanted to go on a killing spree upon returning.

"Can't. Not with my current [Rank] in [Second Magic]. Whatever was stopping us from leaving that dimension. So, if we return, then, we'll be stuck in that dimension for who knows how long. We may end up staying there forever for all we know." I quickly rejected Serafall's ideas of us returning back to the Rosaria + Vampire/Highschool DxD dimension.

"What happens if you reach the highest [Rank] for it? Would it be possible to stop whatever is interfering with your [Second Magic]?" Serafall looks at me with puppy eyes.

"Maybe? Who knows, after all, I got to reach [Rank: Grandmaster] first before letting you know. But, don't think it would be possible for me to reach [Rank: Grandmaster] in so little time. After all, it cost me 2 million [System Points] to even get it at [Rank: Basic]. And it cost me 20 million [System Points] for [Rank: Trainee]." I made sure to point this out, seeing how it cost me so much [System Points] to [Rank Up] these [Skills] of mine; well, I could [Rank Up] it manual. But, with the [Second Magic] will take me a long time to do.

"Well, this interesting to talk about, but how about we talk about the Zombies outside my Mansion? I rather not have to deal with humans coming here and seek haven just because it's the safest spot to stay until the Zombies are killed off." Hime finally spoke out, and she rather not talk about something that would take time, like months or years to do if she did her math right, even if her husband. Yes, she considered Asura her husband already, he should be honored; nonetheless, she knew with the variable she is given. It will take almost a year at least for her husband and others to gather enough [System Points] to get 20 million [System Points] if they were not too focused on it.

For the rest of the day, everyone started talking about one topic to another until it was midnight.
