Ch-8

I Woke up, rolled a blunt, sparked it up... Then midway smoking it... I felt like writing, so here's another chappy! Enjoy, and have a great weekend!

***************************************************************************************************

Melio is in front looking ahead; however, the group only has three flashlights.

James, Alma, and Leo are each holding one, lighting up the area ahead.

Unfortunately, the light isn't wide enough.

Melio is depending on his spidey sense for sneak attacks or enemy detection.

Then Melio signals everyone to stop without looking.

"James, turn off your light and slowly back away. Leo, slowly start to run towards the exit. I'll buy you guys enough time." Melio said with a stern voice.

The crew was surprised by his words; however, with his "sixth sense," they knew the enemy ahead of them made Melio aware of the dangers ahead.

"Okay." Leo slowly turns around; he starts to speed walk towards the exit.

Behind him, all the girls followed him, with James and Kevin protecting their backs.

Melio summons Athena out and steadies himself.

In the darkness, Melio can hear footsteps running towards him. His hearing is enhanced Melio knows over 20 zombies are running towards him right now.

Melio is relying on his double-double last few hours before its expired.

Grrahh!

The zombies are a few feet away from Melio.

Melio then starts to swing his Katana.

Slash! Bang! Thud!

Melio is slashing, killing the weaker zombies in one or two strikes splitting their heads in half.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...

Melio's clothing slowly starts to get stains with the enemy's blood.

"???" Spidey Sense starts to TINGLE.

Melio jumps a few steps back an axe strikes where he once stood.

Melio looks up; he was surprised to see a built zombie holding an axe.

Melio knows this zombie isn't the leader. This zombie could probably be its left hand before sending its right hand out with its own army.

Melio has heard that a zombie horde leader normally has a co-leader and vice-leader.

Right now, in front of Melio is the vice-leader of the horde living in this underground cave.

Melio lets out a deep breath and dashes towards the zombie before him.

Melio aims for the zombie's legs; however, the zombie blocked it with its axe. Melio uses the block's force to jump up and aim for the zombie's head; The zombie blocks with his hand; this time, Melio cut off the zombie's hand.

The zombie was surprised hand was cut off with one strike; the zombie stares at Melio before he lets out a war cry and charges towards Melio with rage in his eyes.

Melio steadies himself; he is currently looking for the perfect moment to counter-attack.

The zombie slashes his axe wide; Melio ducks down, he swings his katana aiming for the zombie's arm.

Then Melio stands on the back of the zombie and cuts the zombie's head in half.

Swish!

Bang!

The co-leader zombie arrived and tried to sneak kick Melio!

Melio uses his katana to block the kick.

However, the kick sent Melio a few feet back.

Melio stands to face the zombie; that's when he hears 30 plus zombies rushing towards him.

'Shit, this zombie isn't stupid.' Melio thought as he is dodging the zombie strikes.

Right when he dodged, a low ranking zombie attacked Melio from the side, trying to bite him.

Melio cut the zombie head in half; he rolls over to create space. But, the co-zombie isn't giving Melio any breathing room. The zombie rushed forward, punching and kicking towards him; Melio reaction speed was excellent.

Melio dodges and counter-attacks when there were openings.

The zombie's try to attack Melio from his side, but Melio can react in time and cut their heads in half. The 22nd zombie to attack link his attack with the 23rd zombie along with the co-leader.

Melio jumped up, his feet land on the arm of the co-leader zombie.

Melio uses this to cut off the co-leader zombie's arm; as he leaps down, Melio cuts the 22nd and 23rd zombie's head in half.

Melio and the co zombie leader are staring at each other.

They both dashed forward.

Slash! Bang! Slash! Bang! Slash, Slash! Bang! Bang! Slash, Slash, Slash!

Thud.

Melio and the zombie trade fist and sword strike.

Melio coughs up blood, Melio cut off the zombie's final arm.

He walks forward to deliver the final strike.

Melio cuts the zombie's head in half.

That's when Melio heard a powerful roar coming deep from the cave.

'Nani?' Melio thought, for speedy zombies started to appear before him.

Melio starts to dodge and kill zombies. Left, right, back, he jumps up, slashing towards the head, cutting it in half.

Melio kills another 15 zombies before heavy footsteps were closer than before.

A female zombie stands before Melio with an army of zombies behind her.

'Fuck me.' Melio thought.

"RrrrAaaaaa!" The female zombie points at Melio as she roars.

The zombies behind her rushed towards Melio.

Melio starts to run backward while blocking and kill the zombies closest to him.

Bang!

Right then, Melio's katana lands to cut the zombie's head in half; the female zombie kicks Melio sending him flying up, creating a new exit.

Bang! Thud! Cough, Cough!

Melio lands outside, coughing up more blood.

'Shit, that fooking hurt! This bitch needs to die!' Melio tried to stand up, but the female zombie arrived quickly.

She kicked Melio again, sending him flying out a few meters out.

Mundo caught Melio's body.

Mundo started to create special herbs on its trunk, feeding them to Melio.

Melio opens his eyes, and he sees that Mundo's roots are fighting the female zombie.

Melio quickly stands up and joins the battle.

Then the zombies underground started to come up from the hole charging towards Melio.

Melio has no choice but to fight them first before helping Mundo.

That's when a shadow figure appeared, killing a few zombies while the body is covered with darkness.

Then ice spears started to strike the zombies.

Melio turns his head to look, and a smile can be seen on his face.
