BREAKING NEWS

"Reports have been spiking throughout the nation of crazed cannibalism. Humans attacking other humans and eating them on sight. Many are comparing them to the phenomenon known as zombies. Authorities advise to shelter in place, lock all doors and windows, DO NOT GO OUTSIDE."

Hinata Shoyo trembled in fear hearing the news. Him and his teammates were huddled close together in a hotel lobby, all of them gaping at the TV. They had been on their way to a training camp to play against other teams like Nekoma and Fukurodani until they were forced to a stop.

"If you see an individual matted in blood or having erratic behaviors, DO NOT APPROACH, call local officials and run away."

Hinata pressed his hands over his ears and closed his eyes, trying to forget the images of when him and his team had encountered the zombies...

"Ahhhhh!!! I can't wait until we get to camp! We're gonna beat Nekoma this time!! And I'm gonna go WOOSH and GWAH and spike so many balls!!" The orange haired boy was jumping in his seat, full of energy and anticipation to play volleyball.

"HINATA BOKE!! Quiet down!! Everyone is trying to relax!!" Kageyama glared at Hinata, getting a pout in response.

"Bwahaha! Store that energy for later Shoyo! We're gonna win every match!" Tanaka gleamed.

"Yeah!!!" yelled Noya, jumping out of his seat and giving a thumbs up to his teammates.

"Quiet down all of you or Daichi-" Suga started. Too late. "All of you shut up!!" yelled Daichi earning a snicker from Tsukishima and a laugh from Yamaguchi.

Hinata, Noya, and Tanaka settled down, grumbling to themselves and pouting. Everyone was finally silent, many of the boys closed their eyes, attempting to get some sleep. It was then early morning, the sun barely rising.

"We'll be approaching a rest stop soon, everyone please start waking up and get ready to get down." Takeda-sensei announced.

Hinata shifted in his seat, rubbing his eyes and wiping the drool from his mouth. "Dumbass, you slobbered everywhere" Kageyama stated, a disgusted look on his face.

"I can't control what I do in my sleep!" exclaimed Hinata with a disgruntled look. Kageyama rolled his eyes looking the other way.

The bus approached the rest stop and parked.

"Okay everyone, we'll have all of you go out two at a time so that you don't crowd the place. We'll leave again in 10 minutes. Take some time to stretch an-" Ukai was interrupted by a shrill scream from outside.

Everyone diverted their attention out the window to where the source of noise was coming from. A woman was running out of a building, pleading for help. She noticed the bus and went in their direction.

"PLEASE!! HELP ME HE'S COMING AFTER ME!! PLEASE PLEASE!!!"

Everyone was shocked but Ukai reacted, "Everyone stay in your seats, I'm going to see what's going on." He got off the bus and approached the woman. The boys were all nervous, watching as their coach attempted to speak to the woman.

"What's going on?? Are you okay?" Ukai asked worriedly. The woman shook her head violently and then widened her eyes as she looked towards the rest stop's restrooms. The boys moved their gaze from Ukai to the restrooms and all held their breath in shock.

A woman had walked out with a hole in her stomach, her insides were spilling out onto the ground but it didn't seem to faze her. She opened and closed her mouth, going towards Ukai.
