"Now tell me me again, Gearhead, what exactly is this?" Jack asked."I call it the Crescent Ruby. It's a collapsible sniper-scythe. I also went ahead and upgraded my exosuit too." "Woah cool. This thing actually collapses into like the size of a skateboard but when did you have time to make this?" Jack replied. "While you and Katon were in the hospital," Gary answered. "I think that Jodake will appreciate this," Jack said picking it up. "Meanwhile there's something else I want you to make me," he said pulling out his tablet, "This is what I like to call the MVP gatling cannon. it's a sniper rifle, gatling gun, shotgun, grenade launcher, and a sword all in one," Jack explained. "Let's see, so the shotgun barrel is orbited by the rotating gatling barrels that fire sniper rounds, the trigger for those barrels is on top back here and the trigger for the grenade launcher is directly below that, that looks like a switch safety back there." Gearhead analyzed the picture. "It is." Jack confirmed, "and the trigger for the shotgun is up there on the top handle, and the scope and dot sights and flashlights are there, this is the bipod release switch and here is where the blade is mounted, yeah I think I can make this! Gary declared, "awesome dude I can't wait." Jack replied "Sweetheart, did you see what Gary made me, its a katana with a superheating edge, I call it Burning love!" Karen merrily said "Say that is nice!" Jack replied, inspecting the blade. The next day was cleaning day and everyone was up early to start except for Gary who was still working on that weapon for Jack. About halfway through the day most of the warehouse had been cleaned and Gary was just putting the finishing touches on Jack's gatling cannon and then Gary called out "okay it's finished Jack." "thanks man this looks awesome." Jack replied holstering it on his back. "Ugh" came a noise from over by the front door where the Fosters were. "Come on guys cleaning day isn't that bad." Jack reminded them, "that wasn't us" Brook and Daniel corrected "I'll go check the front door." jodake said as he walked towards the door. Jodake curiously opened the door and then immediately slammed it shut. "ZOMBIEEES!!!" he cried, frantic "what?!" everyone else said in surprise. "There's freaking ZOMBIES out there, people." Jodake shrieked back starting to panic. "Okay, um uh, cleaning day is canceled, guys." Jack said almost babbling. Once he had come to his senses he rallied "LOCK N' LOAD AND LET'S GET ON THE ROAD, CRAZYS!" and the morale of the others began to rise as everyone ran to get their weapons, Bo even brought his revolvers and speed loaders. Everyone then dashed out to the Psycho serpent and started it up quickly and charged out with tires squeeling and turrets blazing. Pretty soon the gang began to notice a trend, "Hey guys, am I the only one who finds it weird that it's almost like a thick trail of zombies that leads to the warehouse." Jack asked. "No, I noticed it too, do you think it could be a hive mind situation?" Jodake confirmed. "Maybe, but with this pattern it may be wise to consider relief efforts." Jack answered, still holding a defensive stance and holding onto a seat to keep from falling. Meanwhile Tommy was manning the turrets spraying every Zombie in sight with either bullets, small missiles, and/or the blood from another's wounds, "eat lead zombies, ahahahahaha!!!" he cried giddily, his laughter somehow seeming to harmonize with the rattling sound of the guns. Johnny had tethered himself to the roof and was dishing out hellfire from his flamethrower onto anything that was close enough to get it. "Burn baby burn," he happily yelled. "Hey Sera do you see any survivors out there? Jack asked
"Aw come on, at least let me split some heads before we start kissin' people." Sid replied chuckling
"Okay Sid seriously, switch, I need to talk to sera for a bit." Jack requested.
"wait I see some people on that construction site they look like they're pinned up there by some zombies. YAY something to kill, something to kill!" Sid cried.
"alright Bobby, pull over there, and let's try to help them." Jack suggested.
Suddenly, Jodake started twitching. His face seemed to contort into a crazy smirk instead of his usual mask of calmness. His fingers started to wiggle as he tapped EVERYTHING AROUND HIM. Insane laughter started to come from his mouth.
