((Gonna go on and try a story topic;)) City of the Dead.

[Beam Yosho the Drunkard]

OoC: All right, I'm going to try doing a storyline RP.

It takes place in the Metropolis of Applegrove. ((Meaning this is alot bigger than a normal City.)) It's famous for it's own specific kind of Apples, the Grove Apples, which is how the Metropolis got its name. It's also known for it's very, very low crime rate, excellent weather, it's very excellent Medical Research Facility, which had found cures to even the most deadly of plagues, and being a mixing pot of tons of various races, including the very-common Humans, rabbit-like Viera, Small-but very strong willed Moogles, the shelled Koopas and many, many more.

And you have decided to go there (or you're brought there. Whatever you want.)

However, something happens.

Chaos eats the huge city whole. Millions of people have suddenly dropped dead, which caused tons of accidents, such as deadly pile-ups on highways, buildings collapsing, and such. Even the Groves that grew the famous Apples died. And now, you’re trapped in the seemingly doomed town.

Night falls. And the already terror-stricken town just became worse. The ones that have fallen…have risen.

And not just the ones that have recently died that morning; what’s left of the corpses in graveyards have ripped their way out of the Earth and into the piled up streets. Even the trees that had died have revived, into something…different.

Now, you’re stuck in the City of the Dead. You, and other survivors ((aka, the other warriors)), must make it out alive and possibly stop the zombies from spreading outside of the metropolis.

EDIT: The ****? It deleted a good portion of the post!

Rules and Such:
1) There are tons of places to go to; Boat harbors, Hospitals, Sewers, Streets, A (once) peaceful neighborhood, police and fire stations, malls, subways, airports, zoos, bars and clubs, forests, mansions. You name it. This is a rather huge metropolis.

2) Teamwork. You’re going up against million upon millions of zombies, so it’s best to have some friends to tag along. You don’t have to, be it’s advised to do so.

3) Smart zombies. Yes, these zombies aren’t going to be the slow moving, brain dead type. They’ll basically be super-human ones, which means Team work will help a lot. Some of them might be able to use weapons, such as guns, So watch out.

4) Uber Zombies. Meaning unique, uber-strong undead beings. It’s not going to be all the basic zombies. And there are tons of candidates; Animals from the zoo or forest, fish from the ocean (Boat harbor), creatures that have merged together or even to vehicles (airport, subway, streets, etc.)

5) Choose where you start off. You can choose one of the places or some other place I haven’t mentioned. You could even just casually walk into the town, expecting bright, sunny moods, lively people and fresh air, only to find the exact opposite. Your choice.

6) Can you become one of them? Yes, you can. You can get bitten, and theres a chance you can turn into one, unless if you find a cure. The whole rising of the dead is either a curse or a viral outbreak. Not known which one it is.

6) Safezones/Camps. It's a big city. One day isn't enough. So you'll need to find an area safe from (most) of the zombies, so you can rest and eat. Yeah, try to find some clean food and water. And other suppleis.


And yes, inspired by Resident Evil. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[Alucard]

Lycos was in the mall when it hit. All around him people just dropped to the floor. "That can't be good," he said, deciding to take a safe spot to hide. He managed to move certian things into a sort of barrier in the back room of a store called Glow on the first floor.

There wasn't much room for him to manuever and if something decided to attack him, he would need the room. He broke through the floor and started to dig. As he dug out dirt, he formed walls onto the shelves that were around him with it.

Soon, after digging for an hour, Lycos had made an area that looked fit for about ten or so people to call a safe-haven from whatever just happened out there. The area rested about 20ft under the mall, barred off from the outside by a makeshift door.

Lycos pulled out a small crystal and embedded it into the 10ft ceiling of the shelter he made. He then said a few words in his native language, Hatsuran, and the crystal began to give off light and heat.

Seeing his little camp was ready, Lycos thought it was wise to find out if anyone else had survived. He headed out, sealing the camp with a spell, and slipped back into the mall.

Just as he walked outside, someone grabbed him. Someone with an unusually strong grip. Lycos turned around to see that one of the security garuds for the mall, Samuel Aran, had survived.

"You know, if I didn't know any better, I would have though that you were a..." Lycos said, but Samuel cut him off, "A Zombie? What would make you think that?"

"I don't know, maybe the person over there," Lycos pointed to a person with a peice of glass sticking out of his head that clearly went through the windshield of his car, "Who is getting up from the floor," he added as the guy did just that.

"Run?" Samuel asked.
"Run." Lycos replied.

Both of them took off into the mall, Lycos leading the way, and dived into Glow. Lycos opened the camp and they both entered.

"I wonder how many other people survived the first wave..." Lycos said, sealing the door.

"First wave...Wait, do you think that this could happen again, to stronger beings, like us?" Samuel said, shocked.

"For all we know, this may just be another case of an X parasite breakout," Lycos said.

"Impossible, the X were only in two locations, the B.S.L. Station and SR-388, both of which were destroyed by my mother."
"What do you suggest is going on then?"
"I have no idea, but we should try to find some food and water."
"Maybe we'll encounter other survivers while we are out there. If you do, bring them here."
"Right," Samuel aggreed.

The two left the camp and went out into the city, going in seperate directions, trying to find food and any survivers, Samuel activating his powersuit and Lycos drawing his sword.

"You sure we should go here?"

"We have to refuel. Only a ship this large could carry the amount of soldiers and the weight used to keep that damned lizard down."

Ah. Talking about me, eh?

"But isn't there somewhere else to go refuel? This palce is so peaceful, and if he were to get loose...."

"Relax, man. He's not going anywhere under our watch. And with 13 tons on each of his limb, I doubt he'll start any trouble.....Hey, are you alright?"

"No, I just felt sea sick all of the sudden..."

"Didn't you take the pills for that?"

"Yes, I did....but it's here. Maybe I caught something. I dunno."

"Try laying down a bit. We'll be fine without you."

"Alright then...."

All Beam could hear at the moment was the ship cruising through the sea, the gaurds talking, loading their weapons and the steps of them as well.
Then.....plop. Something, or somebody fell down. And hard.

"...Jimmy? Jimmy!"

"What the-?! Somebody get him to Sick bay!"
"You two- go carry him their and...quickl-"

Plop again. Another body has fallen? Can't be coincidince. And can't be good, as Beam couldn't move an inch with so much weight pinning him down.

And another body. Another. Ten more. The whole dock just collapsed. And the wind.....it's hitting Beam even harder. And the engines are roaring. Loudly. The ships.....it's moving faster. Too fast. Somebody must've thrown off the speed and collapsed as well. Now either one of the two things happens;
1) The ship crashes into....something. ANd stops it. He'll either be saved or killed in it.
2) The ship goes on and runs out of gas. From their, Beam will probably starve to death. Not good.

Going to hope for option one. There's some chance in surviving.

[X-3]

*On top of a office building...*

A robot stood at the top of it, his eyes closed, with two Orange pistols in his hand. He had red spikey hair, a helmet, orange armour, orange gloves with spikes and red legs with armour. It seemed he was waiting... for something.

"Bah, what the hell am I waiting for? No other Zama Hunters will try to kill me. Hopefully my work here killing some humans will bring the Zamas closer to killing... every human!" It thought, "I am the ultimate robot, Plasma Man, or so that Zamarick fool thinks. I acually work for Master..."

"Omega Blaster!" Someone cried.

The robot was hit by behind by some white energy. It smiled, the attack not damaging him much.

"Fool..." The robot turned around. The person who hit him was a gray hedgehog, about 12, with a orange shirt, blue shorts, Nikey shoes, and a purple sword holder. "Ahh... X-3, long time no see, eh?"

"Plasma Man, I have been assigned to destroy you by General Kroca." X-3 exclaimed. "Your killing days are over!" The hedgehog dashed over to Plasma Man and drew his sword, but at the last second, Plasma exclaimed sudenly,

"Pyro Jets!" Deadly flames covered Plasma, and the robot quickly dashed into the hedgehog with the powerful attack, and X-3 went flying out the building, towards the harbor. "Pathetic. Now back to bussiness..."

Plasma Man looked down from the building, expecting to see tons of people walking around, but instead saw all of them... dead.

"Holy crap... meh, atleast their dead..." He started. "RECHARGE!" A shield formed over him, and he slept recovering any damage, sorta like sleeping.

*Later that night, near the harbor...*

X-3, who was knocked out, got up, still hurt from the fight.

"God, *cough* I cant belive I survived that." He looked around and saw a person. "Hey, do you know where a hospital is? I'm really injured..."

The person bit him on the arm quickly.

"Hey, you bit me! Wait, your a zom...zomb...ie..." He fell once again, slowly turning into one of them, unless he was healed quickly.

As the ship skips across the sea, it flies off from a ramp-like rock formation and hits a larger rock, causing it to crash on it's side into the harbor. As the ship lands, all the weight holding down Beam begins to slide to the gated side and just plows right through, hitting the concrete dock hard enough to make a small crater, with the weights piled on top of him.

So far, Beam could do nothing but wait. Even his mouth had been clamped down and had weight applied to it as well. Smart move, as others would've forgotten about Beam being able to chew through chains and such.

Several hours later, something that sounded like a meteor cratered it's self around the harbor, not far from Beam. The blast sent a sharp piece of debris flying towards Beam's head. The metal fragment curved slightly so that it perfectly cut open the bandage covering Beam's eyesight and not even knicking his eyes.

It was quite a fluke.

And now, Beam could see his surroundings. And it wasn't a meteor that landed in the harbor; It was a young, grey hedgehog. Beam was certain he's seen him somewhere, but couldn't remember. Whatevr the case, the youngling was either unconcious or dead. Beam could smell blood from him, so who knows.

Later on, he spots the hedgehog moving again. And at the same time, several of the tossed gaurds bodies squirming.

A dead body moving?
That's never good.

The hedgehog limped over to one of the gaurds that was standing up, only to be bitten. Needless to say, the furry creature was surprised. Beam tried his best to get his attention by squirming around and making muffled yells. Hopefully, he'll be able to unshackle him.

[Alucard]

Samuel was blasting his way through the now re-animated citizens of Applegrove when he saw something get blasted from the roof of a building. He decided that Lycos should know because the thing that was blasted looked like it was heading in his direction.

"Metroid to Wolf. Metroid to Wolf. Incomming UFO. Check for injuries and see what's going on. Over."

"Wolf to Metroid, I got it. On my way. Over and out."

Lycos was near the docks, slicing anything that moved in two, when he saw the hedgehog get bit by one of the Zombies. "Wolf to Metroid, Found someone. Looks like X-3. Going to investigate. Over and out"

Lycos went over to X-3 and sliced the Zombie that bit him into many small pieces. "You all right?" But before X-3 could answer, Lycos noticed the bitemarks and the swelling that occured. "Let me have a look at that. Lycos said, taking out a small patch and a bottle.

A few minutes later, Lycos had finished extracting anything that could have been potentially dangerous and had patched up X-3. It wasn't until then that he recognized Beam, weighed down by what seemed to be about 26 tons of metal.

"What'd you do to get all this?" Lycos asked, slicing the restraints that held Beam's arms and mouth.

[Zado Zudamee]

OOC:For some reason,the key for ``Exclamation Mark``isnt working,so Ive substituted 1 for it.

After being stuck on a commercial shuttle for hours,Zado Zudamee was grateful to get off.He was in the middle of the space port,a building made up mostly of a large atrium.As the Elite was about to head out into the street,terrified screaming broke out through the building.``Excitable little monkeys.``Zado thought,assuming there had been an accident.He suddenly felt something grab his arm,and turned to see a rather strange looking human was the culprit.It moaned eerily,then tried to bite him.Knowing this was not normal human behavior,he threw the creature off him,then turned to leave.

Dozens more odd Homo Sapiens were blocking his path.``Get out of my way1``Zado growled.In reply,they rushed foward,knocking the Elite off of his feet and swarming over him.Now he knew for sure that they were not natural,as no normal humans could have over powered him.Zudamee quickly activated his energy shields,and thrashed out of the dogpile.One of the monstrousities clung to his arm,nawing at his wrist plate.The Elite crushed its skull with a quick jab,then sprinted out of the front gates...

What he had imagined to be a paradise was now a wasteland,with dead bodies covering the streets and flaming vehicles laying upturned among them.``By the rings,What is this?``He said.His thoughts were interrupted as hundreds more of the Zombies swarmed out of buildings,and sprinted towards him.Cursing himself for not picking up his weapons,Zado leapt high into the air,landing ontop of one of the smaller buildings lining the street.The elite leapt from rooftop to rooftop,heading towards a glowing light he spotted in the distance..

[Ghost Kitty]

Sakaro, the wandering preist, had vollenteered to preach at a church in this peacful town...

"And on the third day, God-"

Suddenly, all of the people in the Church dropped to the ground, dead.

"What!? What is all this!?"

Then, the dead suddenly rised, as they screech and moaned, running towards Sakaro.

Sakaro quickly drew out his scyth by instinct, slicing all of the undead into peices.

"This town has become corrupt..."

Sakaro ran out of the Church, where more of the undead waited for him...

Sakaro leaped onto the roof of the Church, killing any undead creature in his way.

"IS ANYONE ALIVE!?"

His voice echoed through the city.

"This outbreak didn't affect me because I'm death... Is there anyone else alive!?"

[Alucard]

"Zudamee!"

Zado was shocked to hear someone calling out his name when everyone he saw was a zombie. Samuel suddenly appeared at Zado's side, following him.

"If you need a save haven to recharge, Lycos has set one up in the mall." Samuel said, keeping up with Zado.

[Ghost Kitty]

Sakaro had to get to higher ground, he quickly leaped from rooftop to roofotp, he then saw a Covanaent worrior and Samuel.

"Thank God! Others are still alive... OVER HERE!"

[Beam Yosho the Drunkard]

Finally! Some air!

Beam took in a huge breath, only to cough it back out.

Damn. I can actaully taste the death in the air...

The lizard turned to Lycos and replied "Well, I killed....someone. And by someone, I mean people. And by people, I mean gaurds. And by gaurds, I mean alot of them."

Beam grabs the shackles around his tail, waist, neck, and ankles and rips them off, stretching as he stands up after being in a rather uncomfortable position for about 3 days.

The lizard looks over his shoulder at the grey hedgehog....but no zombie in sight. He turns back to Lycos and says "You didn't see a.....human around here, by chance?"

"...No."

.... ....

Afetr those few moments of silence, Beam quickly rolled away, snatched a rock and threw the rock at the one zombie that suddenly appeared where Beam was once standing.

The rock impaled it in the head and smashed it against the wall. As it slide down, it moaned and reached out towards Lycos, almost determined to go after him.

The Lycan simply round-kicked the undead being in the head, completely smashing it into the wall.

Beam walked over to the headless body and searched the pockets. He found what he looking for; a pair of sunglasses and a small container of whisky.

[L007 is Undecided]

OoC: About time someone made one of these. Good work. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Peering through a few floorboards, Yatatoh crouched on the tip of his feet, waiting for the chance to escape the hell-hole. His head was covered by the hood of his robes, making it very difficult to make out exactly what he was. His red-pupiled eyes shifted right... left... and right again. Believing it was safe... for now... Yatatoh punched the boards from over his head and jumped out, onto a few pews. His eyelids widened as his eyes jumped about, taking in as much view of the destruction as he could.

"And this... is only the Church..." He muttered to himself as he began to walk down the alleyway. He stopped at the last row of pews, and looked to his left. A Cross. He then looked behind him. The bodies that were once laying on the floor when he took shelter were starting to rise. Yatatoh gritted his teeth, grabbed the Cross, and busted out the worn-out wooden doors. Suddenly, he stopped. His eye twiched for two seconds. He turned back, loaded up a Snubnose Revolver, and went back into the church. He looked around for more of the holy relics, and saw another Cross, a grail with a bit of wine, and a packet of the host of Christ. The problem was that it was behind about two zombies.

"Suck bullets, you Unholy bastards!" Yatatoh screamed as pulled the trigger five times. Two bullets hit the head of one of the zombies, one smacked the other zombie backwards, slamming him into a fallen flag pole and impaling him, and one bullet missed. "Damn, my aim is a bit off," he whispered to himself as he ran for the relics. He sealed the grail, put the rest into his pockets, and left again. The sight of all the zombies disgusted him. "How the hell did this happen?" he questioned. Then, he tripped over a leg. A split second after he fell, he crammed his gun out and pointed at who he tripped over.

"Hey, wait, don't shoot!" Beam answered. "Wait until I pick up what I need first!"

[Alucard]

"Sakaro, what are you doing here?" Samuel asked, taking his helmet off. At least now Samuel had two people that can aid him, should he need it.

Lycos, on the other hand, had Beam, some guy that nearly shot Beam, and X-3, who could easily turn to a zombie if not properly cared for within the next few days.

"I think that we should head to the mall. I set up a place that we can use to safely pass the night," he said, looking at the setting sun.

[X-3]

"Heh, thanks Lycos." X-3 thanked Lycos, "I better join you guys, it seems that the zombies wont be beaten easily. But you guys SHOULD know that. But I have some stuff to take care of. Lets meet back here by 1 hour." He ran off.

*5 minutes later...*

"General Kroca!" X-3 said to a communicator, "Come in!"

"X-3! Did you kill Plasma?!" Answered Kroca from the communicator.

"No, but right now its not that important."

"WHAT!?!? NOT IMPORTANT!?!? Listen here..."

"Every civilian is DEAD. Not only that, their all zombies!"

"What?! You're the only one there?!?!"

"No, some others are alive, thankfully. But the city is pretty much destroyed... I liked it... Anyway..."

"Stop the zombies, make sure everyone gets home safely, thats your mission. Now... go!"

The communicator turned off by itself.

"Thats right, I have to go back to the hotel... I have friends waiting." X-3 thought sadly. "Those zombies...were once people... Now they will never... go home again... I WILL stop this, and I will find a way... to make them go home... Now maybe if I find Plasma, we can work together..."

"Your alive too, kid?" Someone asked. "Prepare yourself!"

X-3 turned around. "Plasma, this is no time to fight! Besides, we should fight against the zombies as a TEAM!"

"Hell no. C'mon out guys!"

Robotic zombies teleported around X-3, ready to kill.

"Not on my watch!" X-3 dashed through the zombies, slashing any in his way then slashed both of Plasma's arms off.

"Why you little..." Plasma dashed away, along with the zombies.

"Hmm... His Plasma pistols... I think I'll take them with me..."

X-3 got... Plasma Pistols! They are now in (Glove Inventory)

"Okay, time to go back to the harbor." He ran to the harbor...

[HolocaustHybrid]

Lore stood scratching his rough-barbed beard as he stood in the center of the park, though not exactly on the ground. Atop the highest branch of a lone tree, he surveyed the sinister reanimation taking place. Low moans turned to growls, growls to screams as the zombies caught sight of him, immediately rushing forward with a vigor in defiance of their health...or lack thereof.

"Most peculiar." he thought, leaping from the tree nimbly and landing with a clank as his armor rattled. He sighed as the undead approached rapidly and waved his hand, the cement sidewalk beneath him breaking apart and rising, throwing the fragments out in all directions.

The broken concrete smashed through the undead with great force, throwing many backwards several yards, and tearing limbs off others. Lore winced at the pain he knew these beings had to be suffering for their existence. If they ever recovered, he thought, they would only be worse for the survival instincts of those not affected yet.

He saw his path cleared, however, and walked calmly to the park exit. He looked about briefly and found more of the corrupted beings walking about, wailing as they saw a live victim.

"It's a shame...five hundred and eighty dimensions where I did not have to resort to force for any reason. And here I am slaying the city that most likely held this dimension's one student." he materialized a morning star and leapt into battle, using a bit of his magic to make his battlecry a startling roar that bowled over a few of the nearest, weakest zombies and echoed down many blocks.

[Alucard]

"We can, but we need to take Zado here with us," Samuel nodded at Zado, "Zado, you going to go with us to the safety of the area that Lycos built?"

Meanwhile, by the docks, Lycos, Beam, and their new aquaintance were surrounded by zombies.

"Any ideas?" Lycos asked to the two, holding his own sword carefully.

[Zado Zudamee]

``Yes,I will go with you for now,but I will have to comeback for my weapons soon.``

[Alucard]

"Fine. Sakaro, let's go." Samuel said, leading off to the Mall and putting his helmet back on. Along the way, they are surrounded by Zombies.

"how about this. I'll blast through these with the plasma beam and we go that way. It may take ups a little longer, but we have an easier chance of getting out of this one. That is, unless either of you have a better idea." Samuel said, looking at the two.

"Can zombies swim?" X-3 asked, having just returned a few minutes earlier, "If no..."

X-3 jumped over the zombies quickly, then ran to a wooden dock, luring some of them to him. He was now surronded, the zombies and the water.

"Eat water, zombies!"

He jumped over them again, then pulled out the Plasma Pistols from earlier and then shot the dock, turning it into flames, destroying the dock. Thus, zombies fell in, some coming back to shore, only to be pulled down by... something.

X-3 turned around. "Now, for those other zombies..." A fin appeared in the water behind him.
