Weaponless and faced against white alpha and his brothers.
My only companion was Mr. Mike, having just one functional leg, and was also weaponless.
"So what's it going to be, young Derick?", White alpha asked smiling. "Surrender now, and we will not hurt your friend....I don't see the use of fighting anyways, you are weaponless", he added.
"Try me!", I said giving him a stern look, as I squeezed my fist tighter.
He looked at me and began to laugh, "Derick please, let's not waste anymore time! Or are you hoping for a backup? Yeah, I heard about your new friends at fort 4", he said still keeping his smile on.
"And because of that, your mom got injured, what an aweful way to treat your mom", he said walking closer, "what a terrible son you are", he added dramatically.
I know he was trying to tick me off so I act out, but its hard to resist his obvious temptation.
"Shut up!", I yelled still standing in front of Mr. Mike as he looked around, seemingly thinking of what to do.
"Oooh! Seems I just ticked off Derick... I have been told about your anger, I wonder how bad it is, so strong you were able to shoot at your own mom!", he added still dramatically.
"I didn't shoot her!!!", I said now boiling, "but if you didn't, I wonder what you did to who did. Is he or she still breathing? Are they happy right now?", he said still trying to drive me to anger.
As he talked he walked closer, for a reason still unknown to me. What's his plan? What's he trying to make me do?
"What ever your plan is! It's not going to work! Leave now before it's too late!", I threatened.
On hearing this he laughed some more, "Are you threatening me? I love this kid!", he said smiling at his brothers. "You have nothing, absolutely nothing, but still so confident! Gosh! I will really love you to join us, if only these dumb biochemist can work on their chemicals faster, I'll have you as a really close pal, they are all just dumb", he added, "What 's your mission with the human race? Why are you guys doing this?", I asked.
He looked at me and then at his brothers, "Is it obvious, we want all humans under our control!", he explained.
"What do you mean our?", I further asked, "tell you what, I'll answer all your questions if you come with us....Don't worry about your mom, she holds no grudges, just come with me and you would once again be with her", he added.
"That's not convincing enough!", I said finally finding a stick not so far away from my reach.
"Gosh! Don't you get it? You can't do much! Or have you forgotten our last encounter? Where you got literally got my eye!", he reminded, can you see it now? I am perfectly okay", he explain using his pointer and thumb finger to open his eye.
"But you were hurt. And if that is possible, then taking you down is!", I said tightening my fist and looking at the stick I wanted to grab.
"Have it your way, I am tired of this chat. I really wanted you to come with us whole, but I guess some bruises must be sustained. We'll just keep you till you fully heal, and thankfully, you have fast healing. Brothers capture Derick! Do not kill! Do not bite! Just capture", he commanded and the dormant zombies who had been around began to move.
"Derick!", Mr. Mike called seemingly getting scared.
I quickly bent down and grabbed the stick, "Don't worry Mr. Mike, I got this!", I said trying to make him less scared, even though I knew it would be almost impossible for me to stop these guys with just a stick.
"What about your friends at fort 4?", Mr. Mike asked and before I could say a word, white alpha interrupted.
"what are they going to use.... Guns? Please, Last I checked guns were made with metals...and oh, yeah, I have a magnet!", he said smiling.
3 charged from the front and another from the side, I looked back and forth, wonderingg the side to focus on.
"Uhh!", I heard Mr. Mike and white alpha exclaim, as three zombies dropped dead, with an arrow sticking out each of their heads.
On seeing this, I felt a sudden rush of joy, knowing the one person that capable of such, I looked around for where they came from.
"Can your magnet attract sticks?!", I heard her voice from the of a tree by the left.
All who heard turned to her. Xender and her bow.
"You must be white alpha! I have heard so much about you", Xender said as she placed her arrows in her bow.
"Xender", white alpha said in a calm and depressing tone.
On hearing this we were all astonished, "how did you know my name?", Xender asked bewildered.
With a sudden change of expression he ignored Xender's question and turned to his brothers, "Let's go!", he said to them.
"You are going no where!", Xender said jumping down from tree and killing the 2 zombies that stood between her and white alpha.
"How did you know my name?", she asked again as she walked to where he was with her bow set with arrows.
"Brothers! Kill them all!", White alpha commanded and walked away.
Is white alpha scared of Xender? How does he know her name?
Xender quickly raised her bow at him, "I said, you are not going anywhere!", Xender as she fired at white alpha who was walking away.
The arrows flew straight to white alpha, but was intersected by a zombie, who died on collision with the arrows. And just like that white alpha disappeared with the crowd of zombies, leaving I and Xender to fight with his left behind brothers.
I remained fixed on the spot because Mr. Mike, and with the wood in my hand, I tore open their heads, while Xender shot at them with a speed unlike any I have seen before.
But they were still so many, "Xender!", I called as some zombies pulled the magnet which had my chain away, "what?", she called not still firing her arrows.
"Protect my friend!", I said pointing at Mr Mike. I immediately ran towards the magnet, and with the stick, I took out the zombies carrying it, not without the disturbed help of Xender.
I struggled to pull the chain out of the machine with one hand, while using the stick on the other to hit the zombies attacking me.
"Derick!", I heard Mr Mike call, and I turned to him, thinking he was in trouble.
"Turn off the magnet!", he adviced aloud, "how?!", I asked back aloud, "look for any button on it!", once he said that my eyes hovered around the magnet, and I finally found a lever.
"It's a lever!", I yelled back, "okay, then pull to the opposite side!", he commanded.
Once I was able to do that my chain fell off. "Yes!", I exclaimed with a feeling of relief, but sadly some bozos trampled on it, for their minds were bent on attacking.
"Come on guys!", I said aloud irritated, as I fought my way to it.
I finally got it, but refused to let go of the stick in my hand, as I continued using it to fight off the zombies around me, in an attempt to create space around myself.
Once I got the space I needed, I uttered a "finally!", and I swung it at a tree branch not so far away, pulled, and was off the ground.
"Xender get mr Mike out of there!", I said aloud, "what!", she exclaimed still fighting.
"Just do it!", I repeated aloud. She fought for a while and obeyed, running closer to Mr. Mike, "there's no way I can get him out of here!", she said as still shooting her arrows.
"Okay! just stay there!", I commanded and jumped down, lashing with force as many in front of me.
On collision their skulls were turned apart, except for those with metal plated skulls.
I don't have my vision acquired strength, but lets see what I can do alone. I thought and began to swing the chain above my head with as much force as I can.
To my surprise, on collision with any zombie, it they died in an instant, not shattering though, like they would when I have my vision acquired strength, but were dying like flies. The hit on their head was hard enough to burst it open, but for those with metal plate, it sends a shock that stuns them for a while, while the chains skips to the next, or next two even.
In a short while I had killed more than half what I killed with the stick with the chain, but was unfortunately getting exhausted.
And to make matters worse, my chain collided against a metal plate on a zombies head.
On collision, I felt the shock down to my hand, and the chain bounced back, and flew over to me, hitting me in the gutt.
As soon as it made contact with my gutt, I fell, it felt like my ribs were shattered, the disadvantage of using the chain.
"Derick!", Xender called as the zombies pounced on me one after the other.
Without wasting even a second, they began to bite.
In this split second, I remembered what I was told about the zombie's bite, they only bite, when they are certain of a kill. And if that is the case, I a am dead man.
