Z Nation (10k FanFic)

A New Mission

~Citizen Z~
"Delta xray delta abort mission! Drop off point has been compromised! I repeat abort mission drop off point has been compromised!" Citizen Z repeated into his mic. He lowered his head and said, "I'm counting on you Angel". A few minutes later Citizen Z started packing up his dog sled when his dog Pup sat next to him and began to bark. "I know pup, I don't want to leave either, but there's nothing left for us here." He said patting his head. Once the sled was packed he turned around to grab the dog harness, but when he turned around pup was sitting in the sled. Citizen Z laughed and covered pup with a blanked then strapped the harness to himself and pulled the sled out into the snow. He walked for miles before it got so cold that he couldn't bring himself to move another inch. "Well pup it looks like this is the end for us, I'm sorry I couldn't save you... and I'm sorry I couldn't save you Angel." He said. Then in the distance he saw a figure walking towards him. "Hello? Help! Please help..." he tried to call out, but everything felt heavy and his eyes began to close. "Please..." he said one last time.
~Gang~
We were ambushed and taken down. "What do they want?" Hector asked. "What do you think..." Warren replied. "Angel are you okay?" Addie asked. "Yea, I'm okay" I replied. They had us on our knees with our hands zip tied behind our backs. One of the men had a gun pointed at my face, "Shoot me or get that damn thing out of my face" I said coldly. A tall slender Asian woman in an army uniform walked up to us. She was speaking in Mandarin to one of her men. The only thing we could make you was "Roberta Warren" "Well well, look who's world famous" Doc said mockingly. Warren rolled her eyes and said, "English, do you speak it"? But the woman ignored her.
~Murphy~
Murphy made it shore with two guards, the captain, and Dr. Merch. "Let's move people! I want this place in my review mirror in 5 minuets. As they walked by Murphy stared at the bite marks he left on each of their faces. Dr. Merch gave him a death glare as she walked passed him. "Cheer up Dr it'll heal" he said. As they were loading the bags into their vehicle 10k emerged from the boat. "What happened? Where are we" he asked. "Let's go kid, explosions tend to attract the wrong kind of attention". Murphy said. "We have to go find Angel and the rest of the gang" he argued. "I've already said thanks... we're going our own way now" he said. 10k scrunched his eyebrows "No! We kept you alive all the way to California, you owe them" he shouted. Murphy ignored him and started to walk away. "Where are you going?" He demanded. "To start a new world" he smirked. 10k swallowed hard, "I'm not going anywhere with you Murphy" he said but reluctantly fallowed him to their vehicle.
~Gang~
As the woman scanned the water with her binoculars we all managed to loosen our zip ties and waited for Warrens signal. "Now!" She ordered and we all attempted to disarm the guards, but Warren was the only one able to get to her feet. She sighed and said, "I thought that was going to go differently" and fell back to her knees. A rumbling and moaning sound came from the trees behind us. The woman pushed pass Warren, "You and me gonna have some words" she said glaring back at her. Just then three Z came running out of the trees, the woman's men surrounded her and began firing at the Z's until they were all dead. They re zip tied our hands and the woman stood in front of Warren with some sort of scanner. "Don't move" she said. "Oh, you so you do speak English..." Warren said surprise. She scanned Warren's face and said, "Roberta Warren" "and who are you?" Warren replied. The woman ignored her as one of her men took a sample of Warren's blood. "We don't have the cure if that's what your after" she said. The woman continued down the line saying each one of our names as one of her men took a sample of our blood. "Addison Carver... Angel Lightwood... Steven Beck..." but she was interrupted "You can call me Doc" he said. "Ow!" He yelled "Now I know how Murphy feels" he said. When she got to Hector she didn't say his name she just read off all the things he's done, "Murder, kidnapping, battery, public indecency..." she said looking him up and down and he just shrugged his shoulders. One of her men took his blood and she finally said, "Operation Bite Mark, where is Murphy?" We all just looked at each other. "Who wants to know?" Warren asked. "Murphy's blood is our mission" she stated. "Isn't it everyone's" I said sarcastically. Just then one of their walkie talkies began to speak. The man said something in Mandarin and the woman responded. They forced us to our feet and made us walk with them. "Have you seen a boy with kinda spiky black hair, really good looking?" I said. The man yelled something in Mandarin and pushed me forward "Hey! Watch who your pushing" I said. "Angel you okay?" Warren asked. "Yea... just peachy" I said glaring at the man.
~Murphy~
As they were driving on they heard load pops, it was one of the guard running over something sharp with their 4-wheeler. As they all stopped to investigate they heard something snarling in the distance. 10k and the guards drew their weapons. "Wait" Murphy said. He held up his hands to try and control the Z's headed their way. When they wouldn't stop Murphy was surprised "those aren't Z's" he said. One of them threw a makeshift boomerang and it sliced through the generals head. Shots rang out, but the savages took down the guards. "Shoot them" Murphy commanded 10k. 10k held up his gun and fired only three shots and killed the savages. The two guards slowly got to their feet. "You'll have to do better than that if you plan to protect me" Murphy said getting back into his vehicle. "Is this what life is like now" Dr. Merch asked. "Starvation and survival" Murphy replied. Dr. Merch began to hyperventilate, Murphy grabbed her shoulders and said, "relax.... we have work to do".
~Gang~
Everyone halted when a plain flew overhead and dropped some supplies. "We have to reach that supplies before anyone or anything else does" the woman said. But we weren't the only ones who heard the plain and saw the supplies drop and they wanted it just as much as we did.
~Citizen Z~
Citizen Z woke up to a hazy vision of a girl giving him fresh water, but he faded back out soon after. When he finally came to he was sleeping next to a naked woman. He looked around and saw his dog pup laying in the corner drinking from a bowl of water on the ground. "Hey pup" he said with a smile. But he then fell back asleep, due to exhaustion.
~the Gang~
The woman had a tracker on her tablet to find where the supplies landed. As we were walking through an open grass area one of the soldiers pushed Doc and Addie forward. "Hey!" Addie yelled. "It's not easy walking when your hands are zip tied behind your back, you should try it sometime" Doc replied. Z's ran out from behind some trees and her men quickly ran forward and fired until they were dead. "Why are they using so many bullets" I asked Warren. "It's nice to have someone else do the Zombie killing for awhile" said Doc. "Yeah, but I'm getting tired of being someone else's prisoner" Warren said coldly. More Z's emerged from the hill side and the soldiers didn't fire. "What are they waiting for" I asked panicking. "Just wait" the woman replied. One of her soldiers grabbed and orb from his bag, pressed a button, and threw it towards the Z's. Lasers shot from the orb and distracted the Z's. "Zombie rave, pass the Z weed" Doc said jokingly. The lasers lined themselves up with each one of the zombies heads and  when it detonated it sent spikes through their heads killing them, we all watched in amazement. The woman looked back at us and smirked. She began to walk towards the orb when a Z came at her from the side. Hector rammed it and flipped it onto its back and Warren held it down with her foot. The woman watched in horror as Warren stomped its brain out, knowing it was coming for her. "We work better when we have to use of our hands" Hector stated. "Can we have our weapons now?" Warren said. The woman untied us, but wouldn't give us our weapons. "You have us at a disadvantage. You know me, but I don't know you" Warren said matching the woman's pace. She sighed and said, "I'm Dr. Sun, a virologist from Laos, trained in Beijing" "Beijing survived?" Warren asked shocked. "Sadly no" she replied. "That's why they call it the Apocalypse" Doc said from behind. " We all retreated behind the walls of the Forbidden City, with Asia's best scientists and leaders" she continued. "You have all this supplies, an army, and transportation, but no cure?" I asked. "Our efforts to create a vaccine have failed. We must harvest anti-bodies and platelets from The Murphy" she said.
~Murphy~
The very next time Murphy stopped their vehicle 10k made a run for it. "There he goes" Murphy said rolling his eyes. 10k ran trough the trees but some how ended right back where he started. "What's happening" 10k asked. "Come on, get back in" Murphy said. 10k stayed still for a moment, but walked back to their vehicle. He stopped when he heard a rustling coming from the trees. "10k" Murphy said. 10k rose his weapon and waited, but what they saw was beyond anything they could believe "what is it?" 10k asked. "Zombies eating zombies" he said. "But why?" Dr. Merch asked. "Their starving, there's hardly any humans left for them to eat" he replied. "I can't watch this" Dr. Merch said trying to look away. "No! Don't look away, face the future" he demanded as the mass of zombies rolled away. "Without me this is what the future will be, no humans only zombies eating zombies" he said. "What do you want with me?" She asked. "Merch my good Doctor, you will help bring Murphy to the masses" he replied. "You'll be part of history, the dawn of blends is inevitable, this is my gift to this cesspool of humanity" he continued emotionless. "Cheer up 10k and put our brothers out of my misery"
He ordered. 10k obeyed. Murphy looked at 10k with a smirk, "what?" 10k asked coldly. "You've stopped counting" he said with a sly smile.
~Gang~
"What is Mercy?" Dr. Sun asked. "You guys don't do that back in Asia?" Warren asked. "No" she replied. Warren continued to explain "its a ritual [...] as a reminder that they used to be human, and I used to be human too". Dr. Sun said something to her men in Mandarin and then turned to Warren, "I've decided to return your weapons, don't make me regret my decision" she said. "Sweet" Addie and I said at the same time. The men handed us our weapons, "We've learned many things from surveillance, for example we saw Ms. Carver's modified bat and designed one of our own" the man handed Addie a steel spiked bat. "What's this?" She asked surprised. "We have made some modifications" the man said. He handed Addie the bad and when she put her hand on it, it zapped. "Oh! Sensitive" she said surprised. "We also made some changes to Ms. Lightwoods Arrows" Dr. Sun said. One of the men handed me a duel stringed bow and and a bag of arrows with blue tips. "These arrows like your old ones explode, but these are reusable and they have a tracker in the arrow so you and can find them" she said. "Sweeeet" I said. She returned the rest of the gangs weapons as well. "Thank you" Warren said. Dr. Sun nodded and said, "move out" and we continued to the supply drop.
~Citizen Z~
The wind blew heavy outside. Citizen Z finally started to wake up, he go to his feet and stretched. When he turned around there was a woman staring at him. "Oh! I didn't see you there" he said surprised. He looked down at himself and realized he was naked. "Good morning sleepy head. Your up..." she said motioning to something else. He quickly grabbed the blanket from the floor to cove himself. "Yea uh, it happens in the morning sometimes. Who are you?" He asked. "I'm Kaya" she said. "Hi I'm Zach, but people call me Citizen Z" he replied. "I know, I'm a huge fan" she said smiling for a moment then quickly going back to her serious expression. "Sorry I'm pretty excited, how are you feeling?" She asked. "Much better, how long was I out?" He asked. "About 2 Days"'she answered. "Two days, wow" he said. "Everything is still a little hazy, was that you- did we-" he started to say. "Get naked? Yup. You had hypothermia, skin-to-skin contact is the best way to bring up your body temperature" she continued. "It was either me or nana, cuz my uncle want going to do it" she said. Citizen Z looked at her with a shocked expression. "I'm just kidding" she said looking over. Thats when he noticed an older man and woman sitting at a table. He jumped, "who are they" he asked. "My uncle and my nana, they live here too" she said. "Hi" he said awkwardly. "Hi" they both said. "Thank you so much for letting me stay here" he said. "Would you like you shorts?" She whispered he nodded. Kaya took Citizen Z outside with her uncle, "I may be your biggest fan, since Day One. You were our only connection to the world" she said. "Why are there no zombies out here?" He asked "they hate the cold, but we call them Tornaq" she said. "Very few choose to make a living up here, that why it was easy to get rid of the few Tornaq we did have" her uncle said.
~Gang~
"You guys know Murphy better than anyone" Dr. Sun stated. "No one really know 'the murphy'" Warren said. "But you will help us find him" She asked. "When we find him you'll make a vaccine?" Warren asked. Dr. Sun nodded "I'll need to get Murphy's blood back to my ship-" she started. "You have a ship?" Warren interrupted. "It's an aircraft carrier, we used everything Asia had to offer for this vaccine" she said. "And that supply drop is vital for us to complete our mission" she continued. "We can't fail then" I said. Warren stopped Dr. Sun, "and this vaccine, it's for everyone right?" "Of course" Dr. Sun said. As we walked out of the trees we saw the parachutes hanging off the roof of a factory. "It was blown off course, but let's hope everything was intact" she said. As we got closer to the supply drop we noticed people running towards it from all sides. "Man those Z's are fast" Warren said. "Those aren't Z's" Hector said. "Then what are they?" I asked. "Enders, those people that 'predicted' the end of the world. Savages" he said. "Put your dancing shoes on ladies, it's gonna be a party" said Doc. We entered the building and Z's came at us left and right, but the soldiers shot and killed them all "this lady runs a tight ship" said Hector. "It's nice to have a little muscle in between them and us" replied Warren. "Looks like we missed all the fun" said Addie. "Survival of the fittest" said Hector. As we continued on a group of Z's blocked our path, one of the soldiers threw another orb, but one of them grabbed it and threw it back. "Enders!" I yelled. Warren grabbed Dr. Sun and pulled her behind some stacked crates. The orb rolled back to the soldiers and the lasers made contact with their heads, the soldiers seem paralyzed. And when the orb detonated it killed them all, but one. "No... no! Lieutenant Mong!" Dr. Sun yelled and darted to him on her hands and knees. "Sun Mei" Warren yelled. We all ambushed the Enders. "Addie heads up!" I yelled as I fired an arrow between the eyes of a female ender. "Thanks" she said. "I got your back" I replied. "I have failed our people" Sun Mei said to her lieutenant. He said something to her in Mandarin. "You guys okay" Warren asked Sun Mei nodded. "This is gunna hurt" I said to the lieutenant. He nodded and I pulled the spike out of his shoulder. He hollered and then said, "I... will be... okay". "I am responsible for the deaths of these men..."'Sun Mei said. "Nothing you can do for them now but stay alive" Warren said. Sun Mei nodded and Warren patted her on the back. As we continued on a Z came out of no where and attacked the lieutenant "Ah!" He hollered in pain. "No!"'Sun Mei screamed. "Get off him!" Addie yelled zapping the Z in the head. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Mong, not you!" She said in a panic. "Do it" both Warren and I said. Sun Mei drew her gun and quickly said "I gave you mercy" before shooting him in the head. She fell to her knees and sobbed. Warren and I pulled her to her feet, "come on we gotta get to that supply drop" Warren said. "That supplies better be damn awesome" I said. When we finally go to the supply drop the parachute was there, but the supplies was gone. "Damn" Warren said. "They took everything, all my supplies gone" Sun Mei said. "Even my vehicle" she said. "And they drove that way" Hector pointed out. "At least it wasn't our fault this time" Doc whispered to Addie and I. We made our way outside and Sun Mei fell to her knees. "What do we do now?" I asked. "We get a new plan" Warren said. "Call in another supply drop" Warren said. "I can't, there's nothing left to send" Sun Mei replied. "What were you looking for when you drew our blood?" I asked. "Your journey with Murphy defied explanation, Perhaps a biological anomaly is the answer" she said. Warren laughed and said, "He didn't rub off on us, we rubbed off on him". "Come on let's keep going"
Warren said "why, my mission is over, I failed my people" she said. "Your mission failed, fine. Get up, you're part of my mission now" Warren said. "What about Murphy?" Sun Mei asked. "We're gonna find Murphy, you're gonna use his blood to make a vaccine and save this sorry ass world... You're my scientist now" Warren replied. "Damn" said Doc. "I have faith that you, you, you, and you, and you are here for this reason. It's up to us, nobody else" she continued. "I got goosebumps" I said. "I am at you service" Sun Mei said. "Alright, let's find this blue son of a bitch" Warren said. Just then we heard a horn honking. "Speak of the devil" I said. Murphy pulled up in the vehicle from the supply drop with the supplies. "Murphy? The Murphy!" Sun Mei said in shock. "Where's 10k!" I said pushing forward. "I see you've made some new friends" Murphy said. "It looks like you've been making friends too" said Doc. "Funny" Murphy said. "El Scorpion" he continued. "It's Hector now" he replied. "Murphy! Where is 10k" I demanded. He didn't answer. "What happened to the sub?" Warren asked. "It was a shit show, I got out of there before it sank" Murphy replied. "You blew up the CDC lab" I asked in shock. "There is no CDC! Only Zona, a bunch of rich bastards... they can get their blood from someone else" he snapped. Warren started to walk up to the car when Murphy stopped her. "Ah-h-h thats close enough" he said. "Wake up! This world is done, come with me and start a new world" Murphy offered. "And Be part of your bitch blend, I don't think so" she replied. "Murphy, we need you. This is Dr. Sun, She can manufacture a vaccine and save humanity" Warren said. "Blah. Blah. Blah" Murphy replied. "Murphy don't be an idiot, you can't do this alone" Warren said. "Yes I can, and you can help me all you have to do is get in the car" he snapped. Warren drew her weapon, "get out of the car" she said. "Come on Roberta, it's over... 10k" he shouted. A shot rang out and Warren was forced to drop her weapon. My head shoot up in the direction the bullet came from and I could see 10k hiding in the distance. My eyes filed with tears to see him alive. "10k" I said looking at Murphy. "What did you do!" I screamed. "It's time to choose" He said. "Enders are coming" said Hector. "Shit" Warren said. "TTFN" he said and drove off. "Come one we gotta go" Warren said. She looked at me and I wasn't moving I was just staring in 10k's direction. "Come on Angel, we gotta get moving" she said pulling my arm. Just then 3 Enders came at us and the we're all shot down, I knew it was 10k. A tear fell from my eye and I ran off. 10k watched as we all ran with a small smile. Murphy pulled up to a staircase and 10k walked down and opened the door to the back of the armored car and when he turned to get in you could see a bite mark in the back of his neck. We finally go to an opening with no Zs and no Enders. I felt numb, how could 10k shoot at Warren, at me... how could he leave me. "Am I your prisoner now" Sun Mei asked. "How about we just try trusting each other" Warren asked. Sun Mei nodded and said, "what happened to her back there" motioning to me. "Her and 10k are- were a thing, she loves him and he left her, for Murphy" she said continuing on. Addie wrapped her arm around my shoulder and said, "Angel you gotta let him go, or you'll drive yourself crazy". If anyone knew what it was like to loose someone it was Addie. "Okay, It's just us now, we are going to stop Murphy from creating his damn race of Blends.... Onto the new mission" she said. And we all piled back into Hectors truck. I stopped and said, I'm coming for you".
