Zombie Paradise 2

Chapter 1: Crystal Springs

TV Commercial:

The screen fades to a huge beautiful island resort.

"Everything you heard about Crystal Springs is true."

We see a couple smiling as they step into the island resort hotel known as Crystal Springs.

"Unbelievable things happen here."

The couple, now dressed in their swimming outfits, holds their hands together as they run into the sea.

"Relieve yourself…."

The couple sat together at a small bar. The bartender gave them a glass of milkshake with two straws. The couple drinks their milkshake.

"Explode your senses…"

The couple is now in a casino. The woman jumps up from her seat and cheered when she wins a lot of money from the jackpot machine. The man wraps his arms around her.

"Test your luck…"

The couple now sat together in a restaurant and the waiter serves them their wine.

"Experience luxury…"

That night, the couple sat somewhere in the hotel park on a bench. The woman rests her head on the man's shoulder and they both smile as they watch the fireworks.

"And love…"

The screen fades to the black and the Crystal Springs logo appears.

"Open yourself up…in Crystal Springs at Stellar Island."

End of Commercial

"Ugghhh….."

A man tries to open his eyes as he slowly gets up from the floor.

"Sir, are you alright?"

The man looks up and sees a maid kneeling down at him.

"Can I give you a hand?" The maid said, holding out her hand.

"Yeah, thanks." The man said before grabbing her hand. The maid helps him get up from the floor. She turns to the spilled beer bottle on the floor.

"Have you been drinking?" The maid asked the man.

"Yeah, sorry." The man replied.

"That's okay. I will clean up this mess right after I place your towels in the room." The maid smiled before turning around and walking back outside to get the towels. "You should get some rest." She added before she leaves the room.

"Yeah thanks." The man said. The man looks around and sees he's in his hotel room in Crystal Springs island resort. It was a nice room with a single bed and a huge wardrobe. There is a dressing table and a flat screen TV placed in front of the bed. Behind him is a huge balcony where there's a small table and chair outside. Next to the dressing table is the door to the bathroom.

The man groans as he stretches his arm. He remembers why he's here at Crystal Springs. It's been 2 weeks since his fiancée died in a car accident. And it had to happen just a week before their wedding. Since then, the man couldn't get over her death. The man shuts his eyes tight and tightens his fists. He blamed himself for his fiancee's death. He was driving his car and he and his fiancée were arguing so much that he forgot to watch the road. They crashed against another car. The man survived the crash with just a injured forehead. But his fiancée didn't. She was thrown out of the car and laid on the road dead.

"It's all my fault…" The man thought.

"Sir, you okay?" The maid asked as she reenters the room with the towels in her arms.

"What?" The man opens his eyes. "Oh yeah. Yes. Thank you for the towels."

"No problem, mister…" The maid said.

"Natsu Dragneel." The man said to her. "That's my name."

That evening…

Natsu slowly walk through the foyer of the Crystal Springs island resort with a gloomy face and his hands in his pockets. That was extremely huge. It had a huge statue of a well-known sailor made out of gold being displayed in the middle of the foyer and several people are sitting around talking about their business. At one side was an entrance to the huge casino room the hotel is well-known for and the stairway down to the various shopping stores the hotel has.

Natsu walks over to a huge pair of glass doors and exits the hotel. He now enters the beach. At the beach were several adults and children in their swimming outfits, playing in the sea, building sandcastles or simply lying down on their lawn chairs enjoying a sunbath.

Natsu walks through the beach until he arrives at the beach nightclub. Loud music can be heard from outside. He opens up the glass doors and enters the nightclub.

Natsu looks up as he steps into the nightclub. The nightclub is filled with people drinking beer, alcohol and coke. The disco ball hang onto the ceiling helps fill the club with colourful lights. There is a huge bar stand where three bartenders are serving the drinks to the customers and last of all, there's a huge stage where a rapper and several female dancers in bikinis are performing. Several people are dancing to the song at the dance floor.

Now hush little baby, don't you cry. Everything's gonna be alright. Stiffen that upper lip up little lady I told ya. Daddy's here to hold ya through the night. I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why. We feel how we feel inside. It may seem. And if you ask me too, Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird. I'mma give you the world. I'mma buy a diamond ring for you. I'mma sing for you. I'll do anything for you to see you smile. And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shin, I'mma break that birdie's neck. I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya and make him eat your carat. Don't fuck your dad.

After the rapper finished singing, everyone at the dance floor cheered.

Natsu snorted. Unfortunately, he didn't see where he was going and accidentally bumps into a man.

"Hey!" The man yelled angrily as the drink he's holding spilled onto his shirt.

"Sorry." Natsu said as he looks up at the man.

"What do you know sorry, shithole? You spilled my drink!" The man yelled angrily.

"I'm sorry I-" Natsu got cut off when the man punches him in the face, knocking him to the floor. The people in the club gasped in horror.

The man picks Natsu up by the collar and said, "I'm going to give you the biggest ass-whooping of your-"

PUNCH!

The man was sent sprawling through the floor after somebody else punches him in the face.

"No fighting here, you asshole!" The woman who punched him yelled as she wipes her hand. "Boys! Get him out of here!"

Two muscular bouncers then carries the man up and leads him to the entrance where they will throw him out.

Natsu looks up at the woman who saved him. He widens his eyes.

The woman smiled at him as she holds out her hand to him. "You okay?"

"Lucy?" Natsu uttered.

"Yeah, how do you know…" Lucy widens her eyes, realizing who the man sitting on the floor is. "Natsu Dragneel from class 5B?"

"Yeah, Lucy Heartfilia." Natsu said as a smile appears on his face. Lucy laughed as she helps Natsu up from the floor and pats his back.

"Everything's okay guys!" Lucy shouted to everyone in the nightclub. She turns to the rapper and yells, "MC Taylor! Sing your next song on the list!"

"You got it, Lucy!" The rapper said before he sings his next song. Everybody in the club go back to what they were doing as Lucy wraps an arm around Natsu.

"Lucy Heartfilia, you work here?" Natsu asked Lucy.

"Yup! This is my bar." Lucy smiled at him as they walk over to the bar stand. They both sit together at the stand.

"I heard you went to medical school after graduation." Natsu said to Lucy.

Lucy frowned and looked away. "Yeah…about that…." Lucy turns back to Natsu and tries to change the subject. "I heard you are engaged to Lisanna. Congratulations. How is she?"

Natsu's eyes grew cold and looks down. "What's wrong?" Lucy asked.

"She's…dead…" Natsu replied. Lucy widens her eyes.

"I'm sorry…" Lucy said as she places her hand on Natsu's hand. "C'mon Natsu, let's treat that bruise on your face." She turns to one of the bartenders. "Hey Terry, give him a bag of ice cubes."

"No problem ma'am." Terry said to Lucy.

"Can I have two bottles of Heineken beer?" Natsu asked.

"Sure." Terry nods his head before he kneels down to the icebox below the table.

Natsu turns to Lucy and chuckled, "Yeah I now drink." Lucy laughed.

"Awesome." Lucy winked.

A red-haired woman and a blue-haired man walk past them and walk over to a nearby empty table.

"Finally, a table for us." The blue-haired man said. The two quickly rush over to the table and sat down. The man chuckled but stops when he sees the red-haired woman placing her arms on the table with her eyes narrowed. The man frowned. "So…Erza. How do you like this place so far?"

"It's okay." Erza deadpanned.

The man sighed sadly. "Erza, I'm really sorry about the robb-"

"Stop apologizing Jellal." Erza said, turning to Jellal. "I know you are trying to make me forgive you by bringing me to this place. But it's not going to work. Do you know how much money I spent to bail you out from the police station?"

"I'm sorry Erza. It's just that. We were broke." Jellal said with a frown.

Erza sighed. Jellal tries to reach out his hand to comfort but Erza holds up her palm. "No." She said flatly. Jellal puts away his hand. It's been a month since Jellal was arrested for attempted robbery. Erza was shocked and heartbroken when she heard from the police that her husband was arrested, so she rushed to the police station and after spending about 55 thousand dollars to the police and her skills of argument and rhetoric, the police chief decided to release Jellal and not give him a jail term. Since then, the relationship between Jellal and Erza was tense and strained. They almost never spoke to each other every day and everytime they try to talk peacefully, it will turn into an argument. Jellal knew that his relationship is leading to a divorce.

"Just order me some fish n' chips." Erza said to Jellal.

"Alright. I'll be back." Jellal said as he got up and walks over to the bar stand.

Meanwhile, at another table, a black-haired man was sitting drinking a bottle of beer. The man moaned as he finishes drinking it and lies back on his chair.

"EXCUSE ME!" The man shouted to a nearby waiter.

"Yes?" The waiter turned to him.

"Reload!" The man yelled, holding up his empty bottle of beer.

"Alright." The waiter said calmly before walking away. The man places his empty bottle next to four other empty bottles at the side of his table.

"Hey there." An old man walks over to him. "I notice that you're feeling down so…can I sit with you?" The old man smiled.

The black-haired man looks up and said, "Go away. You can't do anything to cheer me up."

"Aw, come on. Don't be such a bummer." The old man took a chair and sits in front of the man. "What's your name son?"

"Gray Fullbuster." The black-haired man replied.

"Hello Gray. I'm Makarov." The old man introduced himself. "Why are you down?"

"Do you ever watch the NHL?" Gray asked Makarov.

"Nope. Not a fan of ice hockey and Canada." Makarov chuckled.

"Yeah, I was a famous NHL player. I helped the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup two years in a row. Then five months ago, some bastard fractured my knee. And then, the doctors told me I can never play ice hockey again. My sports career is over. I lost all my fame." Gray explained before he slams his fist on the table.

"Come on. Is having fame really that important?" Makarov chuckled. "Your past isn't more tragic than mine. My wife just died last year."

"Really? And why are you so happy?" Gray asked.

"Yes, I was sad at first. But I got over it. Because I knew that my wife doesn't want me to be sad for the remainder of my life." Makarov smiled. "So think about it Gray. You may lost your sports career. But you can still live on your life."

"Here's your beer sir." The waiter came back to Gray with a new bottle of beer.

"Thanks." Gray said as he takes the bottle. Gray turns back to Makarov. "Tell me more about yourself."

Meanwhile, Lucy and Natsu laughed as they drink their bottles of beer while talking to each other about their school life.

"Do you remember Miss Hutchins? She was the funniest teacher ever?" Lucy said to Natsu.

"Yeah. I remember her." Natsu laughed. "Lucy. It's nice to be talking to you again after all these years."

"Yeah." Lucy smiled at him.

"We don't talk much to each other anymore after graduation." Natsu said.

"Yeah." Lucy slowly nodded her head and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Natsu asked. "I'm pretty sure we stop talking after I announced that I'm engaged to Lisanna."

Lucy curls her hands into fists. "Yeah…"

"Lucy Heartfilia!"

Lucy gasped. She recognizes that voice. 'No…it can't be…' She thought. She and Natsu turn their heads and see a blonde-haired man with a mustache and a red suit walking over to them.

Lucy narrows her eyes at the man. "Dad…"

"Your father?" Natsu asked, turning to Lucy. The man grabs Lucy by her wrist. Lucy tries to break free but her father's grip was too strong.

"Please excuse me sir, but I wish to have a talk with my daughter." The man said to Natsu.

"Leave me alone dad!" Lucy shouted as she finally breaks free of her father's grip and stood up. "I'm not going back!"

"Don't talk back to me young lady. That is no way to talk to your father. You will go back to medical school and take that medical degree exam!" His father said.

"Shut up Dad!" Lucy snapped. "What if I don't want to be a doctor? I like what I'm doing right now."

"Working with strippers and alcoholics? Definitely sounds like a good job." The man said, folding his arms.

Lucy turns around and places her hands on the table. "Just leave Dad. I will not take that medical exam and that's final."

"Fine. But I will still not leave this island until you decided to come home with me." Her father turns around and leaves.

Lucy turns to Natsu and sighed. "Sorry you have to hear all of that."

"It's okay." Natsu said. "You know Lucy. I'm not trying to take sides but…you should go back to medical school."

Lucy sighed in frustration. "Now you're sounding like my dad."

"Lucy, don't throw such a bright future away. Being a doctor is better than being a lowly bartender. You can help people with your intelligent mind. Have you ever thought about that?" Natsu explained.

Lucy remained silent, unsure of how to reply.

"I'm not talking to you like your father. I'm talking to you as your friend." Natsu nodded. "I think I should be going now." He then got up his seat and makes his way out of the nightclub.

Lucy turns her head and watches him leave.

'Natsu…I miss you so much.' Lucy thought. 'How I wish I had the courage to tell you that…' She closes her eyes. 'I love you.'

Natsu sighed as he sits on his bed.

"Lisanna…I'm so sorry…" He said to himself. He drinks up the remaining amount of beer inside his bottle. He places the now empty bottle on a nearby table and immediately fell asleep on his bed.

Jellal and Erza lie onto their respective beds and cover themselves with their blankets.

"Goodnight Jellal." Erza said before she turns away from him and closes her eyes.

"Yeah, goodnight." Jellal whispered before closing his eyes.

Gray Fullbuster lies on his bed, thinking about what Makarov told him back at the nightclub.

"You may lost your sports career. But you can still live on your life."

Gray sighed before closing his eyes and sleep.

Makarov sighed as he lies on his bed and sleeps as well. "Tomorrow's going to be another good day." He said to himself.

Lucy steps out of her bathroom after putting back on her normal clothes which is a sleeveless white shirt with a blue stripe, brown belt, and a blue skirt.

She turns off the lights of the bathroom and walks over to the bed. She lies down on the bed and covers herself with the blanket.

She closes her eyes, trying to get a good night sleep.

Meanwhile, at the security booth outside of the island's resort. A fat security guard is watching the cameras in front of him. Then another security guard enters the booth.

"Hey Jeff." The guard said.

"Hey Howard." Jeff replied.

"It's time to change shifts." Howard said to him as he walks over. Then, he narrows his eyes at the camera. "What is that?"

Jeff turns to the camera he's looking at and sees a man outside continuously bumping against the resort's gates. "Look like an intruder. Let's go." He said to Howard.

They both walk out of the booth and turn on their flashlights. They walk over to the gate and sees the man.

"What the hell are you doing here late at night?" Howard asked the man. The man didn't reply and continue bumping against the gate.

"You better leave or we will force you to." Jeff said to the man. The man didn't reply again.

"Fine." Howard narrows his eyes angrily and grabs the man by the collar. "Get out of here or-"

The man suddenly roars, grabs his arm and bites his arm.

"AAAAAHHHH!" Howard screamed in agony as he fell to the ground and grabs his bleeding arm.

"What the hell?" Jeff yelled in horror as they kneel down to Howard. "Howard! Are you okay?"

A few seconds later, Howard stops shaking and lies on the ground still.

"Howard?" Jeff whispered. Howard then raises up slowly from the ground. "Howard, are you okay?"

Howard slowly turns his head to Jeff. Howard roars at him and plunges towards him.
