They followed the leader to the parking lot to find a random purple coupe in front of them.
Hamish: “That’s the only car I could find- I’m afraid yours is… stolen.”
Romero: “Are you kidding me?”
Castiel: “I just parked our hatchback right here- how did this happen?”
Hamish: “The zombies invaded it- they were targeting us men. This is the apocalypse- and we have to demolish the race as soon as possible otherwise it’ll lead to the holocaust, so we must do something before it’s too late. Let’s hop in the coupe.”
Everyone hopped in the car, then rode back to their house- meanwhile in the basement Demetrius and Libra hid in the corner, therefore it is the only way to distance themselves from the zombies invading their apartment.
Libra: “Why the hell are we just hiding there?”
Demetrius: “Because it’s the safest place just to get away from the zombies and not get poisoned by Nightshade.”
Libra: “I understand- I just don’t want any of my Minecraft figures to get infected either, especially the axolotl.”
Demetrius: “I’d go with it. (checking the tracker on her phone) Shit- the walking corpse invaded our house. Libra, grab the bottle.”
Libra: “(grabbing a flask of alcohol) Okay.”
Demetrius: “And stow that plush into the container.”
Libra did as she asked.
Libra: “Demetrius, where is the zombie heading to?”
Demetrius: “They’re heading to the living room- (trepidated cause the zombie is walking near) prepare yourself.”
Libra: “(clenching the handle harder out of anxiety) Oh my god… oh my god…”
Demetrius: “Libby, I’m right here. You’re strong- I’m sure you can do this.”
Libra: “Thanks, Dem.”
Demetrius: “No problem.”
Welsh stood to the corner whilst Norden breathed heavily- prepared to smash the zombie’s head as he heard footsteps.
Demetrius: “Libra, calm down.”
Tabitha’s corpse slid the door open- Libra sprinted toward her and swung the flask to her head, smashing it. Demetrius was disturbed once she turned around to see blood exploding onto the lad, along with the ground of shattered glass.
Demetrius: “Libra, what the hell did you just do?”
Libra: “Vanquish, you foul undead creature.”
Demetrius: “Libra, what happened to you- why are you like this?”
???: “I am the reason this happened.”
The duo saw Douglas standing in the doorway- they backed away from the source of the apocalypse, then Libra realized he needed to wash up- so he bolted toward the door until Michael blocked it.
Douglas: “You’re not going anywhere.”
Demetrius: “No… no…”
Douglas: “You’re definitely not gonna last that long- I tinted a pinch of Nightshade into your sparkling water.”
Libra: “You did what- is that why you made me act like this?”
Douglas: “Yes.”
Since Libra washed the blood off themself, they joined the crew to surround Douglas.
Hamish: “Well somebody is going to need some explaining to do.”
Douglas: “How did you escape the asylum?”
Hamish: “I have my own ways- whilst Romero released Joshua out of the chains, Castiel and I had to take some action for what you’ve done to me and the people of Rukaria. Look at this- 27,000 people are dead by now, especially your wife and daughter. Ailith and London- I believe their names a-”
Michael: “(livid) Keep their names out of your fucking mouth!”
Hamish: “Ooh~ feisty much, huh? Joshua, hand me the gun.”
Joshua: “(handing Cooper the glock) As you wish, Cooper.”
Hamish: “Thank you.”
Everyone surrounded the antagonist, prepared to hold him hostage as he turned to Demetrius and Libra standing behind him.
Douglas: “Where did you guys come from?”
Demetrius: “It’s obvious.”
Joshua: “Thank god you guys are safe.”
Libra: “Me too- we just had to murder another zombie.”
Hamish: “Alright. Romero, Castiel- chain him up. (Rome and Cast grabbed the manacles) Demetrius, grab the syringe. (Dem snatched the needle from his hand) Joshua, knock him down. (Josh pinned his defenseless father to the ground) Libra, help Joshua.”
Libra: “(assisting his friend) On it.”
Hamish: “I’ll hold him at gunpoint.”
Alire and Esterbrook binded Douglas to the wall after Joshua and Libra knocked him out cold with their fists- then he and Demetrius assisted the men.
Hamish: “Well Michael, reveal your secrets- you’re being held at gunpoint now.”
Joshua: “(snatching the Nightshade potion from Douglas’ pocket) How do you explain this?”
Michael: “Did you just snatch it from my pocket?”
Joshua: “Yes I did- the sky isn’t blue either.”
Hamish: “Josh, throw these deadly chemicals into the incinerator immediately.”
Joshua: “Will do.”
Hamish: “(turning to Michael after Joshua headed to the incinerator to burn the poisons) Is that all you got, Michael?”
Michael: “My pockets are empty just now.”
Hamish: “Well, it’s execution time- any last words?”
Hamish pointed a gun to Michael’s head.
Douglas: “Just wait until I turn into a Nightshade zombie and destroy you all- that is what the world deserves for burning me, now I’ll watch it burn.”
Hamish: “That was pretty dark, don’t you think?”
Demetrius: “Most definitely.”
Hamish: “Demetrius, Libra- hold him hostage.”
Cooper loaded the glock before pulling the trigger to Michael’s forehead- Joshua headed toward his bloody skull.
Hamish: “Now is definitely the correct time to execute him.”
Joshua: “(viewing his father's corpse) Oh shit.”
Hamish: “Yeah I’m sorry, Josh- but we have to kill your father. We cannot let him destroy the population nor commit genocide against humanity.”
Joshua: “That makes sense.”
