Book 8 of the To Be A Runner Series A dying leader, a runaway madman, skeptical locals, and a piece of the book that could contain the secrets to everything... Yep, that seems about right. It's been only five days since Jones injected Janine with the nanites, but with her time being so short, every second counts. Now we find ourselves on in the Far Hebridies, having to gain the trust of those here in order to get their help in catching Jones and healing Janine. But there's more to Mor Island, and the islands around it, than we know. Odd labs, cryptic cave messages, skinscoats, a red god? All of it is bizarre and wrong and we must weave our way through the mystery if we hope to save Janine and get back the missing piece of the Edda of the Wakened Warriors. If we don't, we will be overcome with the V-Types once again, and the world as we know it will end. That's why I have to rise up and continue to fight, even as new friends and enemies arise, even the things I thought were stable in my life slowly starts to crumble, leaving gaps for uncertainty or doubt. No, I cannot fall now. I have to keep going because that's what I do. I have to rise up with my team, for my friends. It's time to win this, and be a Champion. Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! Or any of its characters. I only own the characters I myself created. This is my Five's perspective of season 8 and what happened in between missions.

Book 4 in the To Be A Runner series. If you have not read books 1, 2 or 3, I seriously suggest you do before continuing in order to avoid confusion. An expectant mother, a shady government worker, an unexpected visitor, and the search for a cure. Yep, that sounds about right. It's been almost nine months since the world was saved from eternal happiness, but the world is still in danger. The dead still walk and we are still far from finding a cure. But we are still discovering new things. Veronica's hard at work, and with Abel teaming up with the Ministry nothing should be able to stop us. At least, that's what I thought. But there are things we still don't understand, things I'm not sure I want to understand, like the voices in my head, like the zombies that can almost talk and are what Veronica likes to call 'Sentient Type Zombies'. There are things that I'm facing that I'd rather just forget-things I'd rather not know about... But I can't be that way. I can't back down-not from the A.M.T.B., not from the voices in my head, and not from the overwhelming feelings that clog my throat and make it almost impossible to breathe whenever I see- No, feelings are not important now, not when a cure is available, not when he's busy worrying about his baby that's due to arrive and the fact that Paula's getting sicker and... I'm getting off topic. It's time for me to step up once again. My job as a runner is never done. Now it's time for me to step up and be a hero. Disclaimer-I do not own Zombies, Run! Or its characters. I only own the ones I created. This is my Runner Five's version of season four and what I think happened in between missions.

Just because we're living in a world where a disease can make the dead walk, doesn't mean that that disease is the only one we have to worry about. Junin2-one of the most deadliest diseases out there. We need the vaccine. Now that most doctors are dead and most medical equipment and knowledge is gone, we have to prepare for this disease as best we can. The only way we can do that, is get the vaccine. The only problem, the vaccine is locked away in a high security facility run by an AI. To get in, you must be registered as an employee of the company Xia-Hifa, the company that creates the vaccine. That is where I come in. Time is running out. Junin2 season is getting closer and closer. I have to get in there and get that vaccine before it kills us all in one of the most horrendous ways possible. It shouldn't be too hard-get my special T-shirt, do well on my performances, and get out. Should be okay, right? Wrong. A.N.N.I.E. is a lot smarter than we thought. Don't speak. Don't let it hear your voice. It will deceive you. It will hurt you. "You keep calling me 'it'. You wouldn't like being called 'it', would you?" Let me ask you this, what is your top priority? "Safe is an interesting concept." Mine is saving Abel, no the matter the cost. "Tagged you, Five. You're 'it'." Disclaimer-I do now own Zombies, Run! or its characters. I only own the characters I created on my own. This is my Five's version of the 2016 Virtual Race.

Book 5 in the To Be A Runner series. I suggest you read the other four (and short story) before reading this one to avoid confusion. An evil government leader, a terrible life on the run, immune babies, and no home. Yep, that sounds about right. It's been a month since Sigrid took over Abel, and I, along with Sam, Janine and Maxine have been trying to find a way to take it back, to win back our home and stop the Minister. We still don't know why she started all of this, why she engineered the apocalypse to happen, but we will find out all her secrets, sooner or later, with the help of some new friends, and old ones. But I've got a lot of things to worry about-the voices in my head and what I've seen, and if I can keep up an act. Because if I can't... It's time for me to take a stand. We are the rebellion. We are stronger than anyone believes us to be. Our reputations have been tainted, but that will not stop us. I know what it's like to be someone who does what they're told, but not anymore. Now it's time to be a rebel. Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! Or any if it's characters. I only one the characters I created all on my own. This is my Runner Five's journey through season five during and in between missions.

Book 6 in the To Be A Runner series A missing general, hired assassins, a crazed Prime Minister, a voice in my head, and two sides on the verge of war. Yep, that sounds about right. It's been nine months since we took Abel back, nine months since us and the Minister arranged a 'peace treaty', as she likes to call it. We know the truth, but we've been marked as criminals, and that means very few people actually believe us. But even though Sigrid cannot get into Abel's underground labs, she's proven that she has not been defeated. She's looking for something-someone, actually. A person with the disease called Moonchild Syndrome, because it seems that I'm not the only person who's had Moonchild come and stay after breaking free from the mind control. And that's one of the many things I have to worry about. The 'original' still comes to me in dreams, and I know the Glass Protocol is still out there, looking for me, and I know that every step I take could be the last. Every decision I make will effect the people I care about, so I have to step up. I'm many things, or really, I've been called many things-a runner, a hero, a monster, a traitor, a survivor, a killer, a rebel... But I've been Head of Runners since Janine's disappearance, and now it's time for me to stop just being the head, and start being a true leader. Disclaimer-I do not own Zombies, Run! Or its characters. I only own the characters I made up all on my own. This is my Five's journey through season 6 on and in between missions.

Book 3 in the in To Be A Runner series. If you have not read books 1 and 2, I seriously suggest you do that before continuing or you will be really confused. Missing friends, a new enemy, a secretive company, and many new discoveries. Yep, that sounds about right. It's been four months since some of the Abel residents left our walls, and in our search, we've been fruitless. Until now. With the help of a new friend, we discover more about Diana and Comansys, and what's happened to our people. That's the main priority-finding our friends, finding Maxine, finding Caleb. Turns out there's a lot more about the apocalypse and how it started. There's more than we could have ever imagined. Each new clue leads to another story-another piece of the puzzle. I can only hope we figure it out before it's too late. Because there are bad people out there, and sometimes we have to play by their rules instead of our own. And I'm merely a pawn in this game of chess-a pawn that every player of the game wants to either kill or own. New friends, old friends, new discoveries, and pain. So much pain. And yet... so much joy. So much joy doing the things I never thought I'd do... And I can't help but hate myself for feeling so good about doing such horrible things. Disclaimer-I do not own Zombies, Run! Or it's characters. I only own the ones I created. This is my Runner Five's version of season three and what I think happened in between missions.

Book 7 in the To Be A Runner series New allies, V-Type zombies, rising anarchists, and a country that can't seem to find stable ground. Yep, that seems about right. It's been six weeks since Sigrid was taken down, and in those times, things have gone to chaos. A power vacuum has been created, and people are desperate to find a way to keep everything from falling apart. The cure has been created, but V-Types, the unkillable zombies, still pose a threat. We aren't even sure if the cure works on them. Unfortunately, they aren't even our worse problems. The Last Riders, a chaotic group that for a long while did nothing but cause petty chaos and take lives whenever they could, have suddenly turned darker. They did terrible things before, but with the country split and the late leader being reveled as the monster she was, they've decided there's nothing left to live for. They're determined to take us all down. That's where I come in. As I put more effort in finding a cure for my immortality, as well as keeping my children safe and happy (one child in particular), I also must work remember put the most important things first-which is getting through this second wave of the apocalypse. It's a good thing we have Colonel Sage and... Veronica to help us. The question is though, can Abel really trust them? It seems we don't have much choice in the matter, but I've learned to keep an eye on everyone. And I believe I need to look back at the Vikings, learn from them and what we have from the Edda to figure out how to stop these V-Type zombies. It's time to be a warrior. Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! Or any of its characters. I only own the characters I myself created. This is my Five's perspective of season 7 and what happened in between missions.

Highest ranking: #104 in Mystery/Thriller Placed 1st in 'Most Engaging' category of the Sour Apple Awards Placed 1st in Mystery/Thriller category of the Gem Awards Placed 2nd in 'Best of the Best' category of the Amethyst Awards Placed 3rd in Mystery/Thriller category of The Dreamcatcher Awards Also has stickers for winning first in other awards. A secret unknown mission, a shot down helicopter, a guilt-ridden heart, and no name. Yep, that sounds just about right. I came to Abel Township for one reason only, but after the unfortunate event of my helicopter being shot down by a rocket launcher of all things, I'm apparently going to be staying here a lot longer than planned. Because of it, I'm going to have to play nice in order to survive, which is a lot harder than it seems. Everyone carries a burden with them, me included. I'm a runner, and until I leave this pathetic little settlement I'm going to do my job, and run. But one of the things I'm learning it that nothing is ever as it seems. Each piece of the puzzle brings another question, another addition to the story shrouded in mystery and dripping with sinister intent. Maybe this settlement is as pathetic as I thought it was. Maybe my helicopter was shot down for a reason. I cannot wait around for an answer. I learned that long ago. Now deemed Runner Five, I have decided I will do what I have to do to find out every mystery here in Abel Township. And I'm going to start with my actual mission. What is Project Greenshoot... And how will it help this settlement survive the zombie apocalypse? Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies Run or it's characters. The only characters I own are the ones I created all by myself. This is my Runner Five's perspective on the missions in season 1 and just in Abel Township. Hope you enjoy. Cover by @_Thalix_

Book #2 in the To Be A Runner series. If you haven't read book #1 I suggest you do that before continuing. Highest ranking #84 in Mystery/Thriller A blown up Township, one sworn enemy, a huge annoying crush, still no name, and a chance to speak again. Yep, that sounds about-wait, what? Abel is gone, the Major is back, and now we all have teamed up in trying to defeat the main enemy-the man who somehow knows how to make zombies blow up a township: Professor Van Ark. We know he's got something going on, but what we know is just the tip of the iceberg. He's the reason the apocalypse began. He's the reason Abel Township is gone. He's the reason Maxine isn't with Paula. I'm going to stop at nothing to stop him and whatever it is he's planning. I will stop at nothing to find out answers, but there's one thing I have to remember... Not all of us will make it out alive, and not all of us will make it out... unharmed. New friends, traitors, deaths, experimentations-all of it. It's all something I'm going to have to face, and I can only hope that I'll be able to survive it. Disclaimer: I do not own zombies run, or its characters. The only characters I own are the ones I've created. This is my Runner Five's view of season two with some things I like to imagine happened in between missions.
