Back in 2010, the world was struck by a deadly pandemic that turned countless humans into zombies. These zombie bastards are euphemistically referred to by the main characters as "Them" (奴ら Yatsu-ra), and they cannot be stopped! Sure they could kill some here and there, but they just kept on coming. And since 2010, things have gotten a lot worse in the world, with zombie numbers endlessly increasing. But let's recap first...

Our story follows a group of high school students and the school's nurse, as they deal with the worldwide catastrophic event known as the "Outbreak". It turned out that the main way to kill 'Them' was by smashing their heads.

As our cast tries to survive the zombie apocalypse, they also face the additional threats of societal collapse, in the form of dangerous fellow survivors, and the possible decay of their own moral codes. Starting from the high school, the students had escaped into town where they dealt with a corrupt teacher and his students. In the end, they knew that they couldn't trust anyone. The whole world's gone crazy!

At one point they found a little girl and a dog, taking them on their journey. Later, they were held up at a mall, traveled through a police station, and then eventually made their way to an elementary school. It was supposedly a safe zone. They had left the elementary school, since zombies were getting too powerful and ended up destroying the area.

Unfortunately, in the real world of ours, we experienced the death of Daisuke Satō on March 22, 2017. He was the creator of the series. Rest in peace.

So now, where do we go from here? Well...

It was now present day Japan. Our cast still look the same, sort of like how Pokemon or The Simpsons does with their characters (by not aging them, that is). The sun was setting, but things in the sky always looked different now. A lot darker and more reddish in color. The streets, cities, and beaches were covered with blood, bodies, and zombie parts. Total madness indeed, like right out of a horror movie.

Our group, consisting of Takashi Komuro, Rei Miyamoto, Saeko Busujima, Saya Takagi, Kohta Hirano, Shizuka Marikawa, and Alice Maresato with her dog were currently driving around in a big powerful army tank. They were now basically experts at surviving in this zombie situation, after surviving for so many years now. They had picked up other survivors here and there over the years, but unfortunately, most of them ended up dead somewhere down the line. Thus resulting back to the main regular cast again.

On the news broadcast, they heard about all sorts of areas in the world being inflicted with the zombie outbreak. These included California and the east coast of the United States, Harran (from Dying Light), Banoi Island (from Dead Island), among many other parts of the world.

As they continued on down the road in their mighty tank, Kohta was checking up on his current firearm situation. He had a good number of guns/weapons, including AK-47's, AR-15's, RPG Rocket Launchers, Molotov cocktails, Grenades, mines, C4 explosives, a Nail gun, shoguns, pistols, and all kinds of goodies. He really wanted to get Minigun, but couldn't find one yet. "Damn it! I wish I had a Minigun!" Kohta cried.

They continued a bit further, until a scene caught their eye. It was the bus filled with the infamous teacher and the orgy students! Our gang noticed something was pushing against the bus on the other side where they couldn't really see what it was exactly. But they figured it was a horde of zombies pushing at once.

Saeko sighed. "I don't think they deserve our help..."

Takashi on the other hand was worried. "I dunno. I think we should help." Even though he knew that teacher was a bastard.

Takashi's words had always gotten through to the rest of the group. He was often level headed, although the vestiges of a pre-Outbreak morality cause him to suggest actions like this one.

Rei and Saeko didn't like it, but they would follow Takashi anywhere. Saeko unsheathed her sword and looked at the others. "Well?" She asked, "I could use some backup."

Rei was ready with her scoped AR-15. The 4-power tritium optic stayed bright in low light without batteries and offered an accurate field of view for medium distances. "You can count on me."

Kohta, never one to back down from a fight, was right beside Saeko with an authentic Russian AK-47 set to full auto. "Let's rock and roll!"

Saya stayed back with Rei. Her royal family Luger P-08 was a wonderful collector's piece but wouldn't do much against a horde of zombies. Besides, she wasn't into the whole rescuing assholes thing. "I-I'll shoot if I have to, but I'm not saving this bastard."

Shizuka stayed back with Alice and Zeke, her dog. With the group ready and mostly willing, Takashi led the way. He gave Saeko and Kohta a nod.

He gave the order. "Kohta, with me!" Takashi took the left side of the bus. His Benelli M4 semi-auto shotgun would make quick work of the bulk of the zombies attacking the bus. Kohta kept his flanks clear.

Saeko took the right side, her expertise in slicing zombies perfected over the years. Rei took down anyone getting behind her, and Saya called out anyone she might have missed.

With both the grace and ferocity of experienced zombie slayers, the group slaughtered their undead foes. It would seem that the bus and its occupants would be safe after all!

However, nobody noticed the gasoline leaking from the gas tank on the bus. As Saeko sliced one of the zombies in front of the overturned chassis, her blade struck the frame and threw a spark, igniting the gas!

"Just shoot the damn thing!" Saya yelled.

"What do you think I'm doing, dammit?!" Kohta yelled back, firing his AK.

"No!" Saeko realized what she had done. "Flames! The bus is on fire!"

"What?!" Takashi saw the tires burn. "Everyone get back! Now!"

Rei kept the retreat clear by firing on any chasing zombies, carefully avoiding her teammates. "Hurry, guys!"

Saya turned to Shizuka. "Get Alice and Zeke behind the tank!"

"Right!" Shizuka hurried to comply. The fire raging now, the screams of Shido's group grew with the flames.

"Save us!" One yelled.

"It burns!" Another cried out.

A familiar voice pleaded for help. Shido screamed in pain. "My beautiful hair is on fire! Ahhhhhh!"

Just as Takashi and his group rounded the tank, they heard the explosion. Shrapnel from the bus flew a quarter mile in each direction, the ground shook so hard they couldn't stand. It took several minutes for everyone to recover, and even though they covered their ears, the deafness took a while to dissipate.

"My god..." Takashi looked around the corner. He turned back to the group and shook his head.

The group was dejected, but not really. "Fuck those guys anyway, right?" Kohta said what they were all thinking.

Saya frowned. "Those were people, Kohta. Real people!"

"Says the chick who didn't even wanna save them!" Kohta snapped back.

"That's enough." Rei stepped in. "What's done is done. At least we tried."

"Mmm." Saeko nodded her head and looked at Takashi, guilty about what she had accidentally done.

He wasn't happy about how things went, but he knew they had done their best. "These things happen. It's alright. Nobody's at fault here. I'm proud of how well everyone did. We've been in this game long enough to know that it was a gamble, and gambles don't always work out."

Everyone nodded. Their own group was thankfully safe and uninjured, and while they were down a few rounds, their supplies were still in good shape. Everyone got back in the tank to eat, rest, and move on. Years since the Outbreak, this was now the norm.

The gang continued on, not wanting to look back on the past.

A few hours had past by now. Suddenly, the group heard Alice yell on the tank: "Don't move! Then the dinosaur won't see us!"

The group looked at each in confusion. "Dinosaur?" They all laughed.

"I think someone's been watching too many silly Jurassic Park movies!" Saya cried with laughter.

However, this was no joke! They all hear a big roar. And then... That's when they saw it...

The dinosaur creature! It was pretty big, about 15 feet long and 7 feet tall. It had a metal body and was white colored, with some blue on certain spots. It roared and jumped ontop of a flipped-over water truck, destroying it!

The group was speechless and shocked. They couldn't figure out how this thing was even here, let alone existed in the first place.

"A fucking dinosaur?! First Them, now this?! What's next, vampires and werewolves?!" Saya yelled obnoxiously.

"Don't worry, I got this!" Kohta got out his trusty RPG-7, and fired a rocket at the monster! The rocket blasted the thing directly. It roared and flew backwards, destroying a nearby vehicle.

"Hell yeah!" Kohta was satisfied with his assault.

"Good shot!" Takashi praised his friend.

However, the dinosaur got back up again! It roared and jumped super high in the air. It attempted to land ontop of the group's tank!

"OH SHIT!" Takashi yelled. He quickly grabbed a rifle and began firing at the beast, but the bullets did nothing. All the other members of the group got into safety positions and prepared for what would happen next.

Suddenly, just as the dinosaur was about to destroy the tank, it noticed something. It landed on the ground next to the tank, and began sniffing around the back-area. There, the little girl Alice and her dog were trying to cover themselves up. The dinosaur decided not to attack the group, because of these two on-board.

However, by this time the zombies were hearing all the nonsense and they began slowly walking to that area. Soon, this area would be a zombie paradise pretty much forever!

"O-okay, let's get outta here!'' Kohta yelled. The tank began moving forward, crushing zombies along the way. The dinosaur was keeping Alice and the dog safe in the back-area of the large tank. It decided to stay with them. The group wasn't too sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing...

Nevertheless, this part of town soon became nothing but zombies all over the place, with bodies on the floor and blood everywhere to keep them company. Along with a thousand fires burning!

(A/N - It's been just about 8 years since the anime Highschool of the Dead aired in Japan. Time really does fly by. Oh, and just so you guys know, the characters look the same in my story as they did in the anime, despite many years going by. Think of it like 'The Simpsons' or 'Pokemon'.

Well, with that being said, things will get more hot and steamy on the next chapter! Also, the origins behind the dinosaur will be revealed in the future as well. Until next time, see you all later!)
