-1986-

Micheal Summers was on his way back from the hospital in his car, he heard strange reports on the radio, people were being mugged and attacked and it was all over the news.

"Strange" he said, "it's just muggings, why is this making frontline news?"

Even as he turned the corner he saw someone being attacked by a group but it was no mugging, it was like a slaughter house, several people grabbed a man and tore at his flesh, one pulled his arm off and feasted on it, another disemboweled him with it's bare fingers and pulled out his intestines and the rest joined in, Micheals was horrified.

"HOLY sh1t!" he exclaimed as he was distracted, not noticing a woman in the middle of the road and plowing right into her.

"oh no..." he whispered as he peered out of the window to look at the woman, her body was contorted and she was quite clearly dead but wait, why was she getting up, he bones craked painfully as she got to her feet but she gave no signs of pain. She groaned as her eyes opened and suddenly she snarled and sprinted at the car, Micheal quickly sped away from her and drove home as fast as he could.

"What the f_ck is going on around here, has the entire world gone mad!" he shouted to himself, shocked and confused. He quickly sped up his drive way and opened the door, his huskie, Troy ran out whining.

"There, there Troy, I'm here now" he cooed stroking the dog, it ran into his van and hid behind a seat. Cautiously Micheal went through the house, he went into the kitchen and met a horrible site, blood everywhere, his wife lying there, dead, his son was also laying there in a pool of blood with his daugter on top of him, biting his flesh.

"Daad..." the little boy said "I don't like this game, make her stop, it hurts OW PLEASE DAD IT HURTS I DON'T WANNA PLAY ANYMO-" a bite to the jugular from Micheal's daughter silenced him.

Micheal stared, not able to take in what happened, then, he screamed.

"Kendra they are everywhere... what do you want us to do." Max another scientist asked as he ran into the medical supply room.

"I... I.. this is just way out of hand... there has to be something we can do Max..." Kendra replied trying to go through the medical supply cabinet. "DAMIT, how the hell did they get out!"

"Watch out!" Max yelled as two distorted humans busted though the door.

Kendra grabbed her gun from her holster and shot several rounds at their heads, watching as their head exploded and their lifeless bodies fell the the ground.

"That... was... Holy sh1t..." Max said in disbelief.

"I hope you know how to handle a gun Max... right now it's going to be our only defense." Kendra said as she went back to searching for it in the cabinet. "Where the hell did the antidote go Max?!?!"

(Just a notice to everyone that joins about posting you can post flashbacks if you want but make sure you signify the year in the same manner as me and Kiki have done)


The alarm clock went off at 7am, Micheal yawned loudly as it woke him up, he leaned over to kiss his wife but she wasn't in bed, she must have already woken up. Micheal got up and streched, rubbing his eyes, he heard his wife come back into the room.

"Morning honey" she said kissing him on the cheek.

"Morning beautiful" he said returning the kiss.

"You excited about your new job?" she asked.

"Course, the medical lab is a pretty big change from the hospital, I wonder what they've got for me" he said.

"What's the company called?" she asked.

"Um... I think it's RISC" he replied







A jeep made it's way through the amazon forest, several people seated inside, Micheal was there aswell as Kendra, they were just a few of the survivors that now resided at a survivors camp in brazil.

"We're almost there" said Frank, the driver "you guys know what needs to be done?"

"Course we do Frank" said Micheal "It's not the first time we've done this"

"Just being sure" said Frank "We f_ck this up and the others will be going hungry for a month"

They were on their way to an old military base where it was filled with tons on supplies, every few weeks a group would leave the camp and go to the base to stock up on supplies.

Micheal turned to the girl sitting next to him, Kendra, he noticed she was a new face and he had not spoken to her before.

"Hey" he said as she looked up as he addressed her "Not seen you here before...."

-1986-

Family Kamishima hadn't heard from the head of the family for a week. His wife tried to call RISC dozens of times but couldn't get any information about the whereabouts of her husband. She thought about contacting the police but she didn't want her husband to have any trouble at the company. Nerviously she cleaned the house for the third time that day while she let the television set take care of her 10 year old son Kentarô. He watched reruns of the 1973 series "Ultraman Tarô" and rooted "ganbarooo!" as the hero in his red and silver colored suit fought a giant lizzard in the middle of Tôkyô.

Suddenly the door rang and Kentarô's mother rushed towards the door. At the same time the Ultraman episode was interrupted by a special news broadcast. A news helicopter was showing live pictures from Ôsaka. People paniced and ran through the streets while another group was chasing them or already chewing on those who got caught. Ken didn't understand what he saw there but he turned around and shouted:

"Mommy, look!"

His mother didn't look. She was crying in front of two policemen that were behind the door holding their hats in front of their chests.

-2006-

Kentarô and his men found shelter in the basement of a High School in an american suburb. The place was moist and stank of wet chalk. An elderly man was bound to a chair from one of the classrooms while an also restricted victim of the virus, a pretty girl once, raged and growled in front of him. Her leg bones were visible but she was still trying to get to the grey haired man that was sweating and twitching in fear. The ties that kept her only a few feet away from him were secured by a bolt that had a string attached to it. The other end of that string was held by Kentarô who croutched in a save distance to the flesh-hungry girl. Some of his followers stood behind him, all dressed in black suits except for Ken who was wearing a flashy white jacket and crocodile leather boots.

"I'm impressed you made it this far at your age", Kentarô said with a fairly noticable accent.

"And all by yourself as well. We were lucky to find you in your own house. Made it very easy to find you.", he continued while he played with the string that would release the girl if he pulled it.

"I suggest you reconsider. So I'll ask again. Are you Dr. Wilson, former employee of RISC?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!!!", the man shouted. "The house was empty when I found it. I was staying there because of the food supplies in the ...."

Ken interupted him.

"Where I come from you don't leave your obligations just like that, Dr. Wilson. Hasn't RISC treated you like family? And look.... there is the result of your work, right in front of you."

"I really don't...", the man said and suddenly Kentarô pulled the string. The girl broke free of her restraints and leaped towards the who screamed in terror as he saw that monster approach him with an open mouth and eyes full of endless hunger. Only a few inches before she reached the helpless man he heard a short *swoosh* and the girl's head flew against a blackboard next to them. The body still ran like a decapetated chicken until it reached his meal and came to a halt between his legs with blood from the neck flowing all over the the man who just had been saved by Kentarô who now wiped the blood off his sword.

"Maybe we should give you some more time to think", he said without looking at the man he believed to be Dr. Wilson.

-----

In the next room some of Kentarô's men were watching videos on an old TV. The schools library had only a few educational tapes for biology class but it was better than nothing.

Ken clicked with his fingers.

"Time for my video!", he ordered in japanese and one of the others opened a briefcase with serveral tapes in it. He pushed it inside the recorder and pressed start. Kentarô sang along as the children choir began to sing the opening theme for another episode of "Ultraman Tarô":

"Ultraman no chichi ga iru, Ultraman no haha ga iru, soshite Tarô ga koko ni iru..."
(Ultraman's father is here, Ultramans mother is here, and so is Tarô... )

"Kendra did you find the antidote?!" Another scientist asked as she walked back to the main hall where everyone had gathered.

"No.. it's gone..." Kendra said as she walked over to the main computer typing something on the key board. "Just as I thought... the formula has been completely erased from out system. "

Kendra sat down in the chair and lowered her head as she slammed her fists on the table.

"What are you saying Kendra...?" Max asked just as a group of disfigured humans broke through the glass.

"Here they come." A scientist yelled as Kendra pulled out her gun and began firing.



"Hey" he said as she looked up as he addressed her "Not seen you here before...."

"Yeah... well I'm kinda new. I just got here recently..." Kendra said with a smile. "My name is Kendra... whats your name?

(If you're directly replying to someone in the present (2006) then you do not need to post the date above but if you post a flashback before that you must use "2006" to signify the change to the present, everyone has been doing that anyway so good and you can use dates other then 1986 but it's perhaps best to post your flashbacks in order of oldest to newest as the story progresses otherwise it'll be as confusing as LOST)


"Yeah... well I'm kinda new. I just got here recently..." Kendra said with a smile. "My name is Kendra... whats your name?

"Kendra huh? nice name, my name is Micheal and I've been here for a while" he replied.

silence fell for a small while then Micheal took another stab at a conversation.

"Seeing as your new perhaps you'd like to be filled in on what's gonna happen once we reach the base, all they told you at the camp was that we were gonna stock up on supplies, right?" he asked.

"Seeing as your new perhaps you'd like to be filled in on what's gonna happen once we reach the base, all they told you at the camp was that we were gonna stock up on supplies, right?" Michael asked.


"Yeah, well I figured it would probably be dangerous, but they didn't tell me much more then that." Kendra replied. "What else is going to happen?"

"Well it's simple enough, we're all going into the base together and we're gonna need supplies, we don't need much this time just some food, drink and a few other essentials, the problem is that when the virus broke out there were still people living in the base, quite alot of them infact so that's why I got this" he said motioning to a pump action shotgun on his lap.

"Oh I see..." Kendra said as she checked to make sure he gun was still intact. "I prefer a handgun, I found that if you aim right for their head, it takes care of them easily. You go on these runs all the time?

"Most of the time, people at the camp take it in turns see but I usualy volunteer to go anyway, I used to be a docter so if anyone gets hurt then I can help em out but if they get bitten, well....." Kendra noticed he gripped his gun slightly harder and understood, noticing she looked slightly worried he comforted her.

"Listen, don't worry, you're with me on this run and nothing will hurt aslong as you're with me" he said.

"we're about five minutes away guys" said Frank.
