*Kyro's POV (fiftheen minutes earlier)*
"Xyrus, check that one out," I said, pointing to a car. He quickly went to it and checked if it was still usable.
"This one's no good, Kyro," he said. Then, he checked another car.
I wondered how Eunice was doing. We had run far, but she still hadn't followed us.
"Kyro!!!!" Xyrus suddenly shouted. I quickly turned my attention to him and saw a young zombie chasing him. I shot it with three arrows, and it fell to the ground.
"That was close," Xyrus said, sitting down with his back to the young zombie.
Then, another loud scream was heard, not far from where we were. Xyrus looked at me, and I signaled to him.
We quickly ran towards the source of the scream. When we arrived, we saw two children. The girl was sitting and crawling backwards while a zombie slowly approached her. The boy with her was just standing there, staring blankly.
"Get away from me!!! Get away!!!" the crying girl repeated, slowly backing away from the approaching zombie.
We hid behind a car, and I focused my bow on the zombie.
"Kyro," Xyrus called out, and I released the arrow, hitting the zombie. The boy standing nearby quickly looked at us, and we ran towards them.
"Are you okay?" Xyrus asked, helping the girl up. She was shaking with fear.
I approached the boy and asked, "Are you okay?"
He stuttered, "M-much... thank you," before bursting into tears and collapsing to the ground.
I looked at the two children, feeling their fear as kids.
"Kyro!!!" Xyrus shouted, prompting me to prepare my bow. But I stopped when I saw him standing near a car. I approached him and left the boy momentarily.
"Xyrus, try if it works," I said as he got into the car. He started fiddling with the buttons, and soon the engine roared to life.
"This one's still good, Kyro. We can use it," he said, putting on his seatbelt.
I glanced at the two frightened children sitting on the road and quickly went to them. I could hear the noise of zombies approaching.
I quickly stood the boy up and pulled the girl up, bringing them to Xyrus.
"They're coming," I said softly, glancing at Xyrus through the side mirror. The noise of the zombies made the children start to feel scared again.
"Start the car, Xyrus!" I shouted, standing outside, shooting zombies with my bow. "What about you, Kyro?" he asked as he started the car.
"I'll follow," I replied, facing the approaching zombies.
"Don't promise, just do it," Xyrus said before driving away slowly. I smiled to myself, knowing I'd follow.
I pressed a button on my bow, and it transformed into a sword, sharper than any I'd seen. With swift movements, I sliced through the zombies.
I needed to find Eunice. Leaving her behind made me realize how weak I was as a fighter. Eunice, just hold on, I'm coming.
As I fought, I saw a massive robot walking towards me, followed by a horde of zombies.
Eunice...? I quickly ran back, relieved to see the car waiting for me.
I jumped in and shouted, "DRIVE NOW, XYRUS!!!" He didn't understand at first, but eventually started the car.
"Calm down, Kyro. I don't understand you," he said sarcastically.
"Did you see Eunice?" Xyrus asked. I glanced at the side mirror, but my attention was caught by the fast-moving zombies and slow-moving robots.
Xyrus hadn't noticed them yet, so I pulled him away from the driver's seat and took over. I handed him my bow and started the car.
As it began to move, he asked, "Why are you in a hurry, Kyro?" I pointed to the side mirror, and he looked, his eyes widening in shock. "We need to hurry," he said.
Just as he was about to get out to go to the back of the car, a loud scream was heard.
"XYRUS, HURRY UP!" I shouted, stopping the car as he quickly got out.
"KYRO, START THE CAR NOW!!!" he shouted back, getting into the back with the two children.
I quickly started the car and drove away.
Where's Eunice now?
*Mr. Choi's POV* (time, 10:07 o'clock)
Gunshots were heard in the distance. I stopped walking and quickly returned to where my students were resting.
"How are you all?" I asked, and they looked up at me. I noticed Raze was missing.
"Stay here, don't move," I told them before leaving.
As I stepped out, I saw chaos and people running around.
"Raze, where are you?!?!" I called out. A student approached me and said, "Sir, I was with Raze, but he disappeared after a loud explosion." What?
"Go back to the others, I'll find Raze," I said.
"Sir, I'll come with you," Yohan said, joining me as I ran towards the entrance.
We approached the entrance, seeing people being attacked by zombies. I couldn't help them, focused on finding Raze.
Near the entrance, I saw a familiar face, covered in blood and wearing a torn school uniform.
Raze. And beside him was another boy, Yuze.
"RAZE!!!" I shouted, but he kept walking towards the entrance.
"YOHAN!!!" I shouted, but he didn't stop running towards Raze.
*Kelvin's POV* (5 minutes earlier)
Where's Raze? After seeing a car arrive, a loud explosion occurred. I quickly grabbed Raze and pulled him into a nearby room.
I didn't see Yohan again. We stayed hidden for safety, but now Raze is gone. I stepped out and saw Raze walking towards a bloody person.
Wait, z-zombie??? I quickly ran towards Raze, dodging other students. But when did...?
"Yuze," Raze said, walking slowly towards the zombie. Yuze? Isn't that Raze's twin brother?
"Kelvin!!!" I heard my name called from the side of the room. I turned and was shocked to see Xyrus. I quickly went to them and saw Kyro standing, his bow focused on something. I followed his aim and was shocked to see Yuze.
"Kyro, don't!" I said, and he immediately lowered his bow.
"Why?" he asked. Then, a loud scream was heard from a familiar voice - Mr. Choi. I quickly turned around and saw him fending off Yuze, who was biting him. Raze looked terrified, shaking and staring at the scene.
As Mr. Choi continued to struggle, Kyro aimed his bow again. I quickly approached Raze, and Yohan followed.
Mr. Choi said, "Raze, this isn't your twin brother anymore. Yuze is gone." Raze's eyes widened in shock.
"He was bitten by a zombie while saving other students. Raze, I've wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I didn't know how," Mr. Choi said, lying down and crying. Two more zombies approached him and started biting him.
"Yuze told me to take care of you. But I'm sorry I couldn't protect you," he said, and then he stopped talking.
Raze's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up, screaming "AGHHHH!!!" as he charged towards the zombies biting Mr. Choi. Yohan and I rushed towards him.
"RAZE!!!" Yohan shouted. I activated my potion, and it covered my hand. I threw it at Raze, and it hit him, making him invisible. Kyro's arrows hit the two zombies that were about to bite Raze.
Then, Xyrus started singing, and the zombies stopped moving. I released another potion, making Raze visible again. He was crying, facing the direction where Mr. Choi fell.
"M-Mr. Choi!!!" Raze shouted, crying uncontrollably.
Xyrus said, "The effect of my voice will only last for thirty seconds, hurry up and leave!!!" Yohan quickly approached Raze, and Kyro repositioned his bow.
Xyrus started counting down, "Five... Four... Three... Two... One." As he finished counting, he fell, and Kyro's shooy thr target.
Yohan and I quickly lifted Raze and rushed towards Kyro's position.
Mr. Choi... thank you.
I'll take care of him now.
