Thank goodness this place has its own separate beds and rooms. Mike said. There weren't many rooms for people to be on their own so they had to share. 

Do I have to sleep? Asked Jane. I can stay up for a while longer.

You're going to need to rest. Especially with the weird way you've been acting. Tania said as she chose her bed.

Mike was in the security room looking at the cameras. He was wondering how this could have started until he saw 3 survivors that looks like they're in cosplay.

Oh sh*t! The cosplayers! I need to get to them! Mike ran to the vents before someone stopped him.

Going out there without any needed supplies? Said a female security guard.

Mike was confused. Supplies?

The female security gaurd takes out a small headset. This will let me talk to you from anywhere around the mall. You won't have to worry about the battery life either. It can last up to 16 hours.

Mike puts on the headset. Just like a Bluetooth headset. He thanks her then heads out.

Some time later. He was walking around, avoiding zombies, and crafting new weapons.

Hm... it's not illegal to steal things for survival in a zombie breakout.... Mike said as he reaches for a new phone.

Mike!! Yelled a female voice from the headset.

Ow!! What?! Why do you have the volume so high? Mike said as he turned down the volume.

I found more survivors.

Huh? Really? Where and how?

Security room and they seem to be at a convention.

Mike eyes widened. Please don't tell me it's those type of people who think the zombies will set them free.

Um.... No. Said the female officer. They're killing zombies and seem to be zombie killers in cosplay.

The hero cosplayers?! I didn't think they'd be the ones surviving! Mike thought. Thanks.... Uh.... I never got your name.

It's Becky. She said. Your next target is near the entrance. Good luck.

Mike got his weapons ready. Alright. Time to bash some zombie heads.... Right after a quick restroom break.

Later....

Mike found the cosplayers but they looked awfully familiar. He zoomed in with his camera and saw 3 guys who were dressed up as Frank, Nick, and Chuck. Oh they're fans of them too.

He walked up to them until the Frank lookalike stopped him. Don't move!

Mike put his hands up in defense. Woah! Chill! I'm not one of the bad guys, Frank cosplayer.

The cosplayer laughs. Oh I'm not Frank west, I'm Hank Best.

Mike gave him a confused look. Uh... What?

Hank Best. Leader of the Zombie Survivalist Team. Said Hank. This is Buck Gray. He said pointing at the Chuck lookalike. And that's Rick Damos. He said pointing at the Nick lookalike. And together we will save the mall.

Mike looked at them with a sweat drop. Yeah.... I'm doing that too. But what happened here? He looks around the dead bodies.

They were enemies who thought they could take us on. Rick said. Mike took closer inspection. He was shocked to see a normal civilian dead. Just then Hank bashes the civilians head in.

Careful. They might turn. He said.

Mike looked up quickly. What the hell?? I thought they were zombies, not people!

Buck left somewhere while Hank told Mike. In a place like this, it's hard to trust people.

Rick was looking at Mike. Photojournalist, huh? I got a feeling you're going to go psycho.

Huh? Mike was confused. What makes you think I'm going to go psycho?

Hank chuckles. Back at Willamette. There was a photojournalist just like you.... Don't you know what happened to him?

They heard a loud engine reaving. Buck was seen driving through the zombies with a motorcycle that had chainsaws near the handles. He nearly cut Mike if it weren't for him dodging.

Hey! Watch it! Mike yelled. The real psychos are you guys! You can't be someone youre not!

Rick looked angry. Did you just call us psychos? He grabs mutiple items and crafts many weapons to use with his team. Let's see who's a psycho when you're someone who's just been bit.

Wait what? Mike looked closely and saw bite marks on each of them. H-hey. Calm down. We can maybe find a cure...

Hank took a picture of him. Sorry kid, but you'll be remembered. They all started attacking at once.

Sh*t! Mike dodges the motorcycle and runs passed the others. What's a way to stop a motorcycle? Then an idea popped in his head. Hey Bucko! Over here! He said standing in front of a fence.

Just as Mike thought, Buck went towards him. At the right time, Mike jumped over the fence. Buck was too late to stop so he flew off his motorbike.

Wow... Not I was expecting that to be easy. Mike said.

Rick nearly hit him with a sledgehammer/axe cross. So you think you can be this malls savior, huh?!

Oh sh*t! Mike dodges and nearly gets cut with the chainsaw part. Rick rams into Mike, hitting him to a firework mini store. Ugh.... !

Rick was revving up his chainsaw to finish Mike, but instead was shot with exploding fireworks.

Rick was screaming in pain. Zombies were going to their location because of the loud sounds. Buck, who got up furiously, was back on his motorcycle running over and cutting through zombies. Mike got out of the store ready to shoot more fireworks at him until a Molotov was thrown near him.

Buck was there, molotovs in hand and on fire. I'll make sure you suffer you little sh*t!! He threw more molotovs at him until he ran out. Then he started to chase him with his motorcycle's chainsaws.

Mike barely dodges then Buck turns around, ready to attack again. Mike quickly got up but sees Rick ready to attack him. Buck was on his way towards them.

Mike panicked. Duck!! He yelled before he jumped off to the side, but when Rick realized why he said that...

It was too late...

Mike watched as Rick was cut in half. Buck turned around and saw what he has done.

.....tch. you shouldn't have gone in the way! Stupid idiot! You should have listened to him! Buck was yelling at the dissemembered Rick as if he was still alive.

Now's my chance! Mike got Rick's weapon and tried to attack Buck with the sledgehammer side. Buck reacted quickly, but he met the same fate Rick did as his head got decapitated by the chainsaw half.

Oh f*ck! Mike dropped the weapon. He didn't mean to kill them. He knew he would face off people like this but he didn't want any more people to die.

Wait... That was just 2 of them! Wheres-?! Just then a bat srtuck him from the side of the head.

You see what you've done?! Hank yelled. Psychos kill! It's what they do! Whether they like it or not!

Wait... Didn't Frank and the other- ack! Mike was interrupted by a kick to the face.

You're lucky this bat didn't have nails in it or else you would've been dead! But you know what!? Hank goes over to a store and comes back with a bat n nails. You're going to pay for their lived.

Mike quickly crawled away from him until he got to his camera. He quickly took a picture of him with flash on, blinding him. With the opportunity he tackled him and grabbed the bat he dropped. He hit his leg and with zombies behind him, they took care of the rest.

Mike panted. He wasn't expecting this at least until the next day. He sighs. You really know how to please your fans.... Don't ya Hank? He grabs Hanks dropped camera and goes through his gallery. I'll make sure they remember you guys.

Just before he leaves, he comes across Bucks motorcycle. He has an idea then decided to ride on it. Thank goodness for it being similar to the one I rode before. He grabs as much resources as he could carry then gets back to the safehouse.

So... Becky starts. What happened with the cosplayers?

Mike looked down. They.... They went crazy and... Didn't make it.

Oh... Sorry to hear that.

Don't worry. They tried to play hero by forcing it. I chose to help while they forced it into themselves. Mike said.

Before I forget... Becky brings out keys. They'll let you in the maintenance rooms, basements, and closets. I know how crafty people can be so this can be useful to you guys.

Mike smiles. Thanks. This will be sure to help us out later on.

In the security cameras it shows how much the zombies has taken over, how much they've fed on. How much there is. There is no hope for anyone who's out carelessly.
