People ran screaming. Rushing into hiding. Escaping the loud noises that sounded behind them. No one dared to turn around. Not unless they wanted death staring them in the face. The possibility of what they could become, should they cease running. Man, woman, and child ran into forests, mountains, and caverns. Trying to escape the deadly creatures after them.
The creatures followed, sprinting in different directions to capture and devour the living organisms running from them. Each one had blood gushing at the mouth. Both theirs and others. Many bled at the eyes and nose and nails. Not them, nor the people running away noticed six figures on a tree.
The figures stood, two on a limb, watching the chaos. Each were counting the creatures rushing after the humans.
"Seventeen" a male voice spoke.
He looked down at the other four on the tree limbs below. They looked back up at him, each wearing a large smile on their faces.
An orange haired girl with electric blue eyes spoke up next, "Can I pick the one that we take back to Lab 701?"
The grey haired male smiled down at her, "Of course you can, Mad Marla."
The grin on the girls face never faultered, only widened. She was the first to rush off the tree, but was then followed by a male with violet hair and lavender eyes. A girl with mauve hair and cerulean eyes trailed after, followed by the grey haired male with olive eyes. Lastly two girls chased after, one with bright green hair and dark pink eyes and the other with dark pink hair and bright green eyes.
The group rushed towards a bunch of the risen dead, gaining their attention away from a group of people rushing towards a lake. The one by the name of Marla looked the ten zombies in front of her over carefully. When none of them stood out to her, she looked behind her with a bored expression. The other's took this as a sign that she didn't like this group.
Turning back towards the zombies that were now charging at them, she smiled brightly, "Well ain't you lot enthusiastic on turning us just like you. Sadly, you poor things won't succeed."
As she spoke those words, Marla and the five others pulled out various weapons. The grey haired male pulled out a large sword, and the violet haired male yanked out a large axe. The girl with mauve hair pulled out a large gun, and the twin girls pulled out identical hammers. Marla pulled out a sickle connected to a chain.
She swung the chain part, before throwing the sickle part. It rushed past a few of the zombies, but cut into the heads of two in the back. It wrapped around them, in an impossible way. Marla then tugged on the chain, pulling the corpses forward and succesfully knocking the eight others of their feet.
"Now, Klipsy!"
The girl with the gun jumped high into the air, aiming the gun at the heads of four zombies. The bullets it their marks, and Klipsy landed on the ground beside Marla. The twin girls ran past them, rushing towards two zombies who were standing up. Moving to the oposite sides, they aimed their hammers, and struck the two corpses. The heads smacked into one another before smashing like watermelons between the hammers.
Finally, the two boys rushed over. The grey haired male threw his sword into the head of a standing zombie, the violet haired male threw his axe into the back of the head of another. With this group of stiffs no longer moving, the living group rushed towards the remaining zombies.
"Lesom! I see the one I want! That big, fat one! The one with the scalped head," Mad Marla called in excitement.
The grey haired male laughed, "Okay, okay, Marla. Calm down. We won't kill that one."
They each charged at the running corpses, each taking a side. The twins rush in first, backed up by the violet haired male. They charged at three of them. The lavender eyed male sent his axe flying, successfully knocking the stiffs off their feet. The dark pink haired girl and the bright green haired girl ran on either side of the knocked down zombies, reenacting their previous attack method.
"Nice triple hit, Jin, Gen," Klipsy called as she struck down a zombie that had tried coming up behind her. The violet male looked around before eyes widened.
"Lesom, the stiff Mad Marla wants is getting away!"
The grey haired male turned around, taking his blade out of one of the zombies. He saw the fat one running away from the group, but then noticed Marla chasing after it.
"Don't worry, Marla's got it. Let's just get this last one, Opaun."
The lavender eyed male nodded towards the olive eyed male. They then heard a gunshot. Turning, the males spotted a man in a general uniform walking towards them. He looked unamused as he reached them.
"Have I not told you five you need to stay by Marla Penwell at ALL times? Now you just let her run after a stiff on her own!"
The group rolled their eyes, Opaun speaking first, "Well sir, the fact that she can take down fifteen zombies at once makes us forget. Plus it's one corpse. She'll be back any minute."
As if on cue, "Hey guys, general, let's load this guy up on one of the trucks!"
Everyone turned to see Marla smiling brightly, dragging the corpse by chains. Her teammates laughed, rushing over to help. They each grabbed part of the chains that practically buried the zombie. Hoisting him up, they listened to his grunts and growls, bringing him to the truck the general had drove over in.
After throwing him into the back, Marla turned towards the general, "You wouldn't mind driving us, would ya general?"
The tall man shook his head, walking up to them, "Miss. Penwell, if you do not cease your reckless behaviour, you will die and the world will be doomed."
Marla giggled, "Don't worry, Mad Marla Penwell will save this dead world from the scary alien zombie's!"
