Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apoc (Part 16)

[X Gon' Give It To Ya] by DMX

As the song started to blare out, the scouts started to tend to the herd in two groups. The first were the older scouts who were armed with their weapons of choice. Ben started his zombie wacker motor, and spinned up two twelve inch blades before jabbing out and decapitating the nearest zombie. Swinging it left and then right he cleared a swath of area in front of him with ease. Carter pulled back his makeshift bow gun's loading lever and aimed, sending out a few nine inch nails through two undead that moved back from Ben's first attack.

Augie shouldered a potato gun filled with hardened crochet balls and took aim down the pool, finding the perfect line up of dead. Sending down a single round he cleared through four heads without the ball slowing at all and hitting the wall hard enough to ricochet and slam into the nutsack of a dead man about to bite a girl. The other two boys looked at him and his weapon, making Augie smirk and nod before the three moved forward to keep up the slaughter. They moved close and carefully though the dead on their side to make sure they could keep track of any hidden threats. Logan, Akane, and Leah however took the stage a bit differently as the three practically leaped into the center of the hoard with abandon. 

They kept track of each other for sure, but they didn't need to watch each other so closely to know they would be found. Logan ran into the human and dead crowd, bringing up pressurized homemade brass knuckles, elbows, and knee pads. Seeing three undead close together he moved like lightning and struck like a professional muay thai boxer. shuffling forward to the first dead he struck out with a straight that connected and sent out the brass knuckle from his hand, cracking the dead's head and allowing Logan to slide to the next. Sending out an uppercut that popped the enemy's head clean off and away. The next dead went for a grab, but Logan twisted his whole body and brought his elbow across the dead's arm, sending the pad straight through and breaking it off. He then sent his knee up and threw the dead's body in an explosive mess of carnage as the power knee pads force was too strong. 

Panning across the crowd to Leah showed her spinning three hundred and sixty degrees, slicing through ten of the dead and clearing some breathing room. She was wielding a mini gun-like weapon with both hands. at the tip was a massive circular saw now blood soaked from the spin. Directly under the massive saw blade was a disc shaped slot that soon shot out a smaller saw blade. It sailed through the crowd and took the undead life of seven, before Leah whipped back around to kill three behind her. As she took the undead life of the last of the three, she spotted someone near Akane and she yelled out. 

"A.K, slut at your twelve o'clock!" Leah yelled out before flinging back around and bringing her saw blade up and down onto a dead, splitting it down the middle. 

"Thanks babe," Akane said with a giggle as fire roared around her as she spun her modified naginata. A firm metal pipe held a machete blade that was set on fire by a small butane tank strapped to the other side for balance. Like a surgeon with a shady license, Akane flicked her blade left, right, up, and down with enough force to create a pile of limbs at her feet. The dead tried to overwhelm her by swarming, but the Petite asian danced through them with laughter as she took heads, legs, arms, and anything else that got in her way. When Leah yelled out she craned her neck around and caught sight of a dead Chloe shuffling towards her. Smiling bright she whipped her blade around and cleaved through a dead waist. 

This caused the dead's torso to drop to the ground, and make a perfect foot hold as Akane leapt up and jumped off its head. Now in the air the girl started to hop from head to head until she reached her prize. taking one final leap she dove down onto the dead girl, sinking her blade through the body from shoulder to pelvic bone. finally Akane spun and cleaved her blade through Chloe's neck fast enough to keep her head from moving. In a reverse spin she sends a roundhouse kick to the side of Chloe's head and knocks it across the crowd. 

Where it landed just happened to be in front of Carter who paused at the sight. "Aww, man" he said before sending a nail through her biting head. With anger Carter moved past the missed sexual experience his fantasies gave him and started to fire into the crowd once more. His technique was professional in nature as sent nail after nail into the nearest dead. When one got close he aimed lower and sent a nail into the knee to cause the dead to drop low. This allowed him to fire down, execution style, onto the dead before moving to the next. 

He was still behind Ben who, after seeing Akane using her weapon, started to use the leverage his weed wacker had. With a sweep he took out a few more undead before bracing a bite with the staff of his wacker. bad idea as it was he sent his head forward and knocked the dead off his weapon to shove it into the dead's head. A dead was behind him about to go for his neck when Augie shattered its head and then whipped to do the same to one that nearly got Leah as she reloaded her saw shooter. For most of the fight Augie had been keeping an eye on the group to save anyone with a well timed shot. 

All in all the fight was going well as the group was saving more and more kids when Kendall finally found her voice. 

"BEN!" she shouted out, making the scout look over to see her dangerous situation. As he looked down to the path to save her he noticed a rather wonderful surprise. with a chewed out neck and pale complexion was a dead Jeff looking at him hungrily. With a smile he ran forward to save Kendall and kill Jeff knowing his friends had his back. As he neared the dead Jock, Ben tossed his weapon up and into the air while diving down below Jeff's legs. When he cleared the dead he hopped back up and reached out to perfectly catch his weapon, bringing it down to grind through Jeff's head.

Hearing a scream behind him he quickly whipped his zombie wacker out of the now fresh corpse and into one of the dead at the bottom of the ladder. it died quickly but caused him his weapon as the blades jammed up from the guts of the zombies body. 

"Shit," Ben said as he had to drop the weapon and reachout to stop the other dead under the ladder from biting him. Carter and Augie seeing this both shifted and aimed as Ben pushed the dead to the pool wall. Soon enough a nine inch nail sunk through the dead's hand, allowing Ben to get away. That was when Augie sent a ball to explode the dead's head. Ben looked at his two friends and nodded, which they returned before moving back to killing the dead around. Shifting under the ladder Ben held his hands out. 

"Kendall, come down" he said and the scared girl practically leapt into his arms. Grabbing her and then helping to steady the woman Ben gave her a once over. "You okay?" he asked and she nodded.

"Yeah, I think so" she answered and then was pulled as Ben grabbed her hand and led her to the other scouts. At this point Logan, Akane, and Leah all had found their way back to the others as the hoard wasn't growing smaller, but larger as more dead started to enter the pool hall. At this point the six were fully inbetween the dead and the still living students as they continued to kill any that got too close. 

"Guys we've got to get everyone out of here now!" Ben shouted over the song. Carter nodded and yelled out to the crowd.

"Everybody, Get to the stairs!" He shouted while sending another nail through a running dead. At Carter shout the teenagers started to run while the six continued to keep the dead off them. Logan exploded another head with the last of his power in his pressurized gauntlets while Leah decapitated a dead with her tomahawk after running out of fuel for her weapon a few minutes ago. Akane was still using her naginata but her butane tank was knocked off in the fighting and thus not on fire anymore. Carter and Augie kept the three safe by sending nails and balls into the dead that slipped past their limit capability that came with Melee. 

As the teens ran up the stairs and out the door the scouts did their best to give them some lasting cover, and caused them to eat up even more of their ammo and fire out less to conserve. This made Logan, now only with a pair of machetes', Akane and Leah all start to back up more and grow defensive. As the last of the teens cleared the door Ben paused making Kendall stop. 

"What are you doing?" she asked, trying to pull him with her. 

"I've got to lock the door or they will just follow you" he said, breaking her hold on him. 

"What, no, you can't" Kendall said but Ben pushed her into the hallway.

"Go, I'll be fine" he said, making Kendall grow frustrated. "I said go, trust me" he demanded, making her finally nod and run with the rest of the students. as she did he grabbed the doors and both shut and locked them with some cables on the nearby floor. with that done he turned back to his old and new friends and saw that things were getting bad. Logan was holding up a folding table against the hoard keeping them in the pool while Leah and Akane stabbed at hands and heads that tried to take a bite out of Logan's legs. Augie and Carter were still firing off but he saw that Augie had just run out of balls. 

"Guys, Let's go!" Ben shouted and the five looked at him. Logan with a burst of strength pushed the table forward and sent the dead tumbling back. That gave them breathing room to run away with Ben leading the charge.

Denise rode down the street to the Rec center, the military left behind as they got permission to come help. She had stopped the bombing after confirming that many young lives were still in the strike zone. Yet with no help coming to her friends in time she made a choice and was riding back to the town to hopefully save them. Missy thankfully distracted the guards enough for her to sneak out and back to her bike. 

"God you little shits better be alive" Denise said as she pushed the bike to go faster. 

#####

"Shit they're getting closer" Carter said as everyone was running up a flight of stairs. They had exited the pool hall under Ben's direction and were now on a mad dash to hopefully a window or room they could lock down and escape with. Thankfully Ben had led them right as they ran up the last step and into the gymnasium. As everyone entered, Logan being the last one as usual, slammed the doors shut behind him while Carter grabbed a metal pipe on the ground and shoved it through the door. With it now braced Logan let off and turned to see that everyone was looking for a way out. Given the prior knowledge of the film though, Leah killed the "were going to die here" panic as she pulled down the covering from the garbage shoot. 

" Over here, we can get out with this" Leah said and everyone saw the way out. as the group started to move though Augie held them back. 

"Wait," The red headed scout commanded. Everyone paused as he held out a hand to Ben. "Backpack please," he requested and Ben handed it over. 

"Dude, what's the wait, let's just go" Carter said looking at the door that seemed to be still holding. Augie worked quickly as he unzipped and produced a rather substantial bomb. This made Ben take a step back and shake a bit. 

"What the fuck is that?" Ben said and Augie smiled. 

"A bomb" he said, making Akane walk up with a smile. 

"Hmm, fertilizer based?" she asked and Augie nodded. 

"I was carrying a bomb?!" Ben shouted and Augie nodded again.

"Yeah, I made it just in case we were going to die," he said. "Better to go out quickly than be eaten alive," he pointed out.

"Smart," Logan said as Augie held a hand out to Carter. 

"Give me your lighter, will spark it up before heading down the shoot" Augie said and Carter reached into his pocket and pulled out the dollar store device. handing it over Augie took a knee and tried to start it but found the lighter dead. "Shit," he said while dropping the thing and pulling out his flint instead. 

"Seriously!? that's going to take forever, let's just go!" Carter said before he heard the spark of the wick. Augie looked up and nodded to Logan.

"Already got my fires starter badge remember" he said and held a fist out to Logan. Logan smirked and bumped it before pulling the scout up and started to run to the garbage shoot. The others followed and in the nick of time as the door's handle finally broke and allowed the dead inside. one by one the six dove in as the dead started pouring in.

#####

Denise finally made it into town and when she saw the center in sight she grew focused as she pulled up near a garbage pile. A pile that came from a yellow trash shoot that snaked up into the building. 

"Not the best way in but good enough" She said as she ran to start climbing up, only to hear someone coming down a second too late. standing in front of the shoot she unfortunately came face to face with Logan as he was the first down the shoot. Thankfully the man had a quick reaction and was coming down head first, so he opened his arms and gripped onto the woman before rolling out into the garbage. following him was Augie, Akane, Leah, Carter, and then Ben each barely missing each other as they hit the thankfully soft trash. Getting up had Logan holding Denise in a princess carry as the others got to their feet.

"Sorry, you good" Logan said to the surprised Denise who nodded with a blush as he put her down. 

"Denise!" Ben said as he noticed the extra person in the group, "You came back!"

"Yeah, I stopped the bomb drop, but they needed clearance or something to come in and I wasn't sure if it was going to be fast enough so" she rambled as she flicked her eyes to Logan still holding a blush from what just happened. Ben, Augie, and Carter smiled as the sound of helicopters and Jeeps started to sound out nearby. "Looks' like that was-" Denise started before an explosion rocked the area as Augie's bomb finally went off. "Oh Shit!" the waitress shouted out as she dove back into Logan's embrace to shield her from the blast. Leah did the same, while Akane and the scouts watched on at the explosion by ducking down with their hands up. 

"Beautiful" Akane whispered out as she watched the rec center go up, and with it the end of the movie as well. 

#####

The drive out of town to the checkpoint was smooth and the check up from the CDC was even smoother as the seven were now safe and sound from the dead. The three moviegoers watch as Ben and Denise had a heart to heart before Denise pushed the scout away to finally make his move with Kendall who was just coming out of the check in tent. It was a touching scene to watch Ben walk up to the relieved Kendall and pull her into a kiss. what wasn't touching was Akane's commentary as he did. 

"That's it, good start" she said as the two embraced. "firm hold on the right places on the body to show your strength and commitment. Now give her some tongue" she commanded and the way Kendall started to melt into Ben's arms more told them he had. "perfect" Akane said as the two broke apart with Kendall looking at Ben like the man he now was. 

"You made that so much weirder" Leah said to Akane while she watched Ben move in to kiss Kendall again, much to the girl's joy. 

"Hey, I taught those boys what to do, and I'll be damned if they forget my lessons," Akane said.

"Yeah, well Augie is about to get a test on the subject it would seem" Logan said, making the two look over to where they saw the red headed scout last. He was next to Carter but was now being dragged away by Missy into a portable bathroom trailer the CDC set up. Carter looked more than bummed as both his friends were getting a girl while he was sitting alone. Akane frowned and shifted her hands to catch the boy's eyes. He looks over and she gives him a look while nodding his head at the dozen seniors girls he saved last night. Getting the message he nodded and made his way over to make his move.

"We'll be fading to black pretty soon, next is some good old zombieland fun, then planning on what to watch next" Akane said as she got up and stretched ready for things to end. 

A "Hey," sounded out though and made the three look over to see Denise walk up to them. she seemed a bit skittish as she looked at them and then to the three boys who were preoccupied. "So, um... Ben said you taught him how to kiss yeah?" she hedged. Akane smirked as Leah shook her head and Logan just blinked. Taking the lead Akane walked over and grabbed the waitress's hand.

"No, I taught them how to fuck, and I'd be happy to give you a hands on lesson" the little devil said as she started to drag Denise away with Leah and Logan following along. 

"She's a menace" Leah stated. 

"That we love" Logan said as they found a tent on the far corner not being used.
