So, mate, I've tried watching the show. I swear, I have, but it just didn't grip me. However, I kinda know what this show is about, so I've tried to write this crossover.

Sorry if it's rubbish!

Radar's POV.

You know how sometimes you feel so lonely that you just want to raise your head and howl at the moon? Yes, this loneliness that can simply drive you mad in a couple of days until you find yourself asking a question in your head and another voice answering. This kind of loneliness can be cured - with troubles, of course, but it can be. When there are any people around you, I mean.

This isn't my case, unfortunately. Because I'm pretty sure that I'm the last human in this world.

I have no idea how it happened, but I just know that it did. One day it was all right - and the next day Jesse and I had to hide in the caves under the Beacon Town. This nightmare just came, and however I tried, I simply couldn't wake the hell up. Whatever this thing was: a disease, a natural disaster or some sort of an unknown parasite, it was quick and merciless.

The Infected Ones came, and they never wanted to go back. You see, I call them "The Infected Ones", but there's actually no official name for these creatures, probably because they took over the world so fast that nobody had enough time to name them. These creatures, these monsters, were unlike anything I'd seen ever before. They looked like people - people they once used to be. But everywhere on their skin there were these thick lines of black and purple, that seemed like unhealing wounds and scratches.

The Infected Ones didn't burn under the sun. They didn't sleep, they didn't eat, they never rested. It seemed like their only purpose in their lives was to see a human, to catch them, to scratch them - and then, not even bothering to finish their prey, they walked away. Unlike zombies, they never wanted to eat us or our brains, no. They only wanted to infect as many as possible.

I know how it works. I've seen it... Seen it for myself way too many times. At first, the Infection makes the person sleep almost all their time. Perhaps it's because in sleep it doesn't hurt that much, I dunno. Then these horrible lines appear everywhere. Around the person's eyes, along their arms and legs, around their waist. These lines are hot, much hotter than ordinary skin should be. And then, when the person finally wakes up... Well, it's not a human anymore.

The Infection takes two days to destroy a human being and create an Infected One. These monsters are rather fast, strong and hardy, but the most important thing is that they are damn smart. Maybe it's because they used to be people? I don't know. But one thing for sure: these weren't just stupid zombies or skeletons. It was a brand new type of creatures, and it didn't take a lot of time for them to figure out their place in the food chain.

They could scream. Not groan like zombies or hiss like creepers, actually scream like a human. And it was... Terrible, to say the least. Every night I fall asleep with screams coming from the outside. Begging for me to let them into my house, crying and pleading. At first I had to shut my ears, because it was impossible to sleep with them lurking around and distracting me. The problem was that their screams, their voices were no different from voices of real people.
