Piggy Book 1 | The Infection Takes Control Prequel | piggy au

=CHAPTER 10= {Mall}

"They went this way!" Zizzy said, rushing up.
"The mall? Why would they hide here?" Kreek asked.
"Who knows, but let's go. They may be a survivor!" Lego encouraged.

They walked into the mall, Zizzy stopping to lean on the corner of one of the walls.

"I'll stay here and make sure they don't leave. If you need me to stop the infected just yell." She informed them.

"You got it. Lego, why don't we find the room they're in? It's likely to be the only one with planks and a white key on it, it always is." Kreek suggested.

"You're right, let's go. Collect any keys you find on the way." He decided.

•••

They had cracked most of the doors open before they found the infected. Or... was it even infected?

A grey pig stood before them, its head angled downwards. Two robotic hands lay by its side.

"What is that thing?" Kreek queried, walking up to it and tapping it on the nose.

"Kreek! Be careful. It could be dangerous." Lego warned.

"It will be fine-" he started, before the robot powered on, its eyes red.

"Oh shoot." Kreek said, backing up. It's hand rotated and twisted into a giant chainsaw.

"OH MY GOD GET BACK." Lego yelled, grabbing Kreek by the shoulder.

"Zizzy!" Kreek yelled. She ran up the stairs, using her sword to stun it.

"Go get the door! Forget the keys, just kick it down." Zizzy ordered.

"Yes, ma'am!" Kreek answered, saluting before running off.

They got to the door, and Kreek ran into it, but nothing happened. He kept kicking and flailing before Lego just pushed him to the side.

"Come on, Kreek. Really?" He sighed, knocking the door open with one kick.

"WHAT?" He yelled, annoyed. As Zizzy caught up, she called into the room.

"Show yourself! We know you've been watching us." The person's ear twitched, before standing up, it was a pig wearing blue, a bat in his hands.

"..George?" Lego said, his jaw dropped.

"How do you know my name? Who are you people?" George shuddered.

"I'm Lego," he said, "and this is Zizzy and Kreek."

"You know this kid?" Zizzy pointed at George.

"Yes, he's the missing kid me and Player were looking for before the infection. Why did you run, George?" Lego asked the shuddering kid.

"A-after my family visited the hospital, they acted weird ...and scary." He told Lego. "I came here looking for grandma. But everyone looked scary...so I hid." He frowned.

"You'll be safe with us, George." Zizzy offered.

"Will I see my family again..?" He asked, silence followed for a moment before Kreek answered.

"George... we will find the person who did this, I promise." That same burning passion in his eyes from when they left Bunny, that made George smile slightly.

"Let's get back to the Safe place, we've yet to meet them all!" Lego suggested.

•••

As they walked into the main room, 2 younger zebras hurried up. One wearing magenta jumped up happily.

"Zizzy is back! And she brought friends." She chirped.

"Zee! Zuzy! This is Lego, Kreek, George, and you've already met Player. I do hope you get along."

"Lego looks kind of funny." Zuzy snickered. He just sighed.

"You guys, we tracked a helicopter signal nearby!" Pony said gleefully as he caught up with the girls.

"That must be Mr. P. We need to stop him!" Kreek commanded.

"Zizzy and I are coming with you." Pony offered.

"Don't forget about me!" Player said, rushing into the room.

"What?! But they just got back!" Zuzy whined, Zee just rolled her eyes.

"I'll be back, I promise. Take care of George while we're gone." Zizzy told the girls.

"Let's go stop him, once and for all!" Player said.
