Previously on Highschool of the Dead:

???: "...can mister Y/n L/n go to the office so we can have a word?" The one called Y/n L/n went to the office to see what Tadashi wanted.

There in the office with Tadashi, Kiriko and Y/n.

Tadashi: "...how will you do with the mission, now that the situation has change?"

Y/n: "Evacuate all as you can and leave with Rei and the others last... I'll shut the door and let the chopper know to leave." On Y/n's face who had a sadness expression. "I'll probably won't be coming back."

On the roof top at night, where Y/n and a orange hair girl, Rei, are lying on a mattress, naked.

Rei: "Y/n?" Y/n hummed as an answer. "I love you and I'm very happy that we are together."

Shows both of them kissing.

Y/n: "I love you too Rei and I also am happy for having someone like you."

On the rooftop at day, where Y/n and his friends are waiting for the chopper to evacuate them.

There was only space for nine and they were ten of them.

Y/n: "I'll stay and wait for the chopper to come."

All of them were inside of the chopper. Rei was inside the chopper while Y/n was outside kissing each other. "I love you Rei, no matter what." Y/n pushed her inside the chopper and closed the door. The chopper went away while Y/n looked at a white, circular lab, while he thought: '...to finish this once and for all.'

Inside the lab, in the basement, where Y/n killed a teacher called Shido, was fighting his pressumed dead father because Benjamin L/n was the one who started the whole apocalypse.

Benjamin was on the his knees while Y/n was in front of him, holding his father's shoulder, ready to kill him.

Benjamin: "I'm still proud of you son. You've grown to be a good, honorable, and loyal man... Finish... what you started." Y/n stabbed him with a wrist blade called 'Hidden Blade' in his chest.

Y/n was sitting in the chair of the lab with a detonator in his hand of C4 he planted around the lab, while remembering his moments with his friends and family with tears.

Soldiers came bursting through the door aiming the guns at Y/n. "Goodbye my love ones!" Was his last words when he pushed the button on the detonator.

Rei P.o.v in the chopper, before the explosion.

Rei: "NO! LET ME GO! I WANT TO GO WITH HIM!" I screamed, kicked and was struggling to get out of my friend's grip. I was on a chopper to a hidden base where we will be taking shelter for a time until all this mess is dealt with. Why am I screaming and fighting you say? Is because my boyfriend, Y/n, gave me a kiss like the last kiss, pushed me into the chopper, closed the door, and left to another place. I was still struggling, until I felt a sting on my left cheek. I put my hand over my cheek and looed at the Source of the one who slapped me. A long purple har girl was the one who slapped me.

My group coexist of ten peole. Y/n, my boyfriend, has h/c and e/c, and he his the best man every girl wants. Takashi has brown hair and brown eyes, and he was my firts crush, but then was Hisahi, and now it's Y/n. Hirano, a chubby man with glasses, and he's a gun geek. Saya with pink hair and glasses, and she is like the one who thinks everything. Shizuka, a blonde airhead, and a nurse. Alice and Zeke counts as one. Alice is a little girl with pink and short hair, and Zeke was a white dog. They are like our mascots of our group. My mom, Kiriko, and dad, Tadashi. Me obviously. Finally, Saeko the one who slapped me.

Back on track, I looked at her with hatred, but then I calmed down. Her face, her eyes, did not had anger, but pure sadness. I looked at the others and they had shocked and sad face.

Saeko: "Will you please calm down. Y/n will not do anything stupid he is waiting for the next chopper to pick him up, so don-"

Rei: "HE IS NOT WAITING FOR ANOTHER CHOPPER!" I cut her off with tears rolling down my cheek like river. "When we kissed, he told me that he loves me no matter what, and he pushed me inside the chopper so he could leave to another place!" They looked at me with shocked expressions. "And when we were taking off, he said to remember him as he was. How the HELL you want me to calm down after he said that?" Their shocked expressions turned to an even more shock, but they still didn't believe me. I looked at my parents and they looked at me with sadness and guilt. When they saw that I was looking at them, they turned away, so our eyes couldn't met. I had my suspicions. 'Do they know something that we don't?' I thought while still looking at them. "Mom, dad, do you know what Y/n is going to do?" I asked them and they didn't looked our way. The others looked at them with confusion. They took a deep breath and my father spoke first.

Tadashi: "We received a footage of a lab where people, sick people, has been taken there." We all had confused expressions, but it still didn't answer what Y/n has to do with any of this.

Kiriko: "What we saw was not very pleasant. We saw the sick people enter and then boxes of human sizes came out from the back door. When they stopped at the last box, the scientist opened it and inside the box was a decayed person." Our eyes widened.

Tadashi: "They tried a test on one of the ill persons to see if they would get infected as well..." He took a long pause that made us lean towards him. "And it worked. The person that was bitten was put inside a glass box to see the results of his change, and HE changed. Turned to the single thing that we are fighting now. THEM." Our eyes widened even more. So, the things that started The Outbreak wasn't a virus. It was made by us. The human beings, but why? And the questions that still lingered inside my mind, probably our mind, was, what does Y/n has to do in all this mess? Why did he left us? Where would he go? My mind was going crazy, but then, the puzzles were reforging itself. It was like looking at Hirano piecing the parts of a gun together with his eyes close, until finally, it came to me. I got to realization that Y/n was...

Kiriko: "That's why Y/n isn't here." My mom just finished my thoughts or she read my expression. "We showed Y/n the footage and he was shocked by what he saw. The thing is that we knew who he father was, by his gauntlet. The gauntlet of a hunter in the night and shadows. You probably know kind of training he went through." We all nodded, but my heart felt empty. It felt like something was being taken away from me with every word they're saying. The others had pale faces and shock, now they believed waht I said, but there's no need to throw that to their faces. "We asked him if he could check the lab and destroy it, which he accepeted." my eyes widened even more, why woud he do it?

Tadashi: "He had the choice to leave with us or go to the lab, he knew the risk of going there, but he wanted the greater good for the world and for the sake of his love one."

Rei: "But why?" They looked ta me. "Why didn't he say anything to us? Why carry such a burden? He knew he could trust us and tell us everything. we couldv'e acompany him and help him, and-"

Kiriko: "That's the reason why he didn't say anything." She cut me off with a stern voice that my mouth shut. "He knew that all of you wanted to acompany and help him, We even offered ourselves to help him on the mission, but he wanted to go alone and protect you."

Tadashi: "The place was heavily guarded, the operation needed stealth and precision, and Y/n was the only one who could do it. Also, he didn't wanted to risk all of you to die or worse. It was his choice and he decided to bring an end to the labs experiments." This couldn't be happening. Y/n is going to get himself killed. 'No he won't. He went to hell, walk through it, never got burned, and he still kept fighting.' I thought with determination. I knew that he'll come back to us no matter the situation.

Kiriko: "We also promised him..." I looked at her and her eyes met with mine. Her stare was piercing my soul. "If he got out of this and help us with exterminating this THINGS, we will give him our blessing to be with you Rei." My cheek felt hot and it was embarrassing to hear that. I felt a little happy that my parents approved of him, but something inside me felt wrong right now. Something that it was flying away from my body, a part of me. Then, memories of him appearing, the moments he smiled, when he saved us, the moment when we confessed our love, and the moment that we had last night. They came all at once, but why?

Then, we felt turbulance and heard a loud explosion. The chopper manage to take control of the helicopter and fly straight. We manage to calm ourselves, but what was that? We all looked outside and saw a huge smoke coming from a place not far away from the school. My heart felt empty now, and it felt that someone was holding it and squeezing it with all its might simultaneously. I sat back holding my chest, and tears rolling down my eyes. I didn't know why it hurt so much, but it did. It was something that I've never felt before but what did it meant? I looked at my parents, and their eyes were wider than when I knew the truth about Y/n's past.

Rei: "What's wrong?" I asked my parents. They looked at me and their eyes had sorrow, guilt, and sadness. The others looked at them with confused expressions. My parents exchanged looks and it felt uncomfortable when they did that, until my father began to speak.

Tadashi: "That's the lab where Y/n went." My eyes widen. My heart skipped a beat and it wasn't a pleasant one. The others had tears running down their faces, some of them started to cry, some hold it in, and me... I knew, I realized what those flashbacks meant, what the emptiness and pain of my heart meant. I couldn't think about, not even say it in my mind. The pain, the sorrow was taking me to the nothingness. I couldn't even move an inch of the pain that I felt. I was in deep though, I mean really deep where I couldn't feel anything around me, until I felt a sting on my cheek.

I came back to my senses and saw Saya in front of me with her face covered in fear and sadness at the same time. The others were worried for me.

Saya: "REI!!! Are you still with us!?" She sounded angry, but I managed to nod. "What the hell is wrong with you!? Why did you space out!?"

Rei: "He's dead." I whispered, they barely heard it. Saya was going to tell me something, but I cut her of. "HE IS DEAD!!!" They looked surprised by my sudden outburst. "Don't you get it?" I said between sobs and continue. "He's gone. Y/n's... gone."

Saya: "We don't know that yet."

Takashi: "She's right, we don't know if he left the lab and blew it." I looked at him and he was confident of his words. "Lets have-"

Tadashi: "I'm sorry kids." We looked at him with shocked on our faces. 'What did he meant by that?' I asked myself. "Remember that EMP fried a lot of the circuits around the world. The military have helicopters because they managed to work with it until they are functional after the EMP."

Saya: "That's why the helicopters are working, just like the Humvee." That was a fact out, but what did it have to do with the explosions that happened in the lab?

Tadashi: "Indeed, but the thing is, when the EMP exploded it fried a lot of things, including the C4, but it didn't meant that they didn't work. They only worked at close range." My eyes widen and I had to ask.

Rei: "How close?" My eyes were connected with my father's. He sighed in defeat.

Tadashi: "To detonate one so the others could work, five to ten feet, and for the others to detonate as well, the C4 must be ten to fifteen feet away from each other." My heart sank even more. I couldn't believe, that the man I love and my everything, is gone. He is away from me. I started to cry. I cried and cried with all my might and didn't stop. I felt someone beside me, it was Takashi surrounding his arms around me for an embrace. I just leaned towards him and cried on his chest. I saw the others crying, or holding their cries, but their tears were still falling from their eyes.

I thought: 'I lost him. I lost the one that I love the most. I'm sorry, Y/n.'

Y/n P.o.v after the explosion.

I grunted from the pain that I felt from my wounded body. I reached to the edge of the sphere so I could pull myself out of this thing. I grabbed the edge with both hands and pulled myself up. My head was out, then I fell from this sphere and landed on my back. The impact made me cough and gave me pain on my back. This rocks were a pain.

I managed to stand up with a little difficulty, but managed. When I was standing, I looked at my surroundings and saw that the building was destroyed. Shattered glass, broken bricks, and body parts scattered. It wasn't a pleasant view, but I felt relieved. Why do you ask? Well read the last book, but I'm not that bad.

I've found out that this thing, zombies, were created by humans, not a virus. I've found the madman behind it, and it was my father, Benjamin L/n. He used my mother to deliver him an offspring of him, so he or she could carry out his plans on making the world notice that we need each other. I know, it's the dumbest reason, but that what he said. Anyway, I assassinated him, and that's final.

I started walking forward for starters to get out from the pile of nothing. I reached the other side of the street and looked behind me where the lab was meant to be. I sigh and kept walking with my hand on my abdomen holding my wound.

Five minutes had pass, and I found myself in front of a medical supply shop. I head in and started to search for an emergency kit. I found one on the counter and grabbed it. I sat on a chair, took off my jacket and shirt with a little pain, and started to treat myself.

Cleaned my wound's surroundings, and took out the disinfecting liquid. I looked at it twice and put it down. I twisted my shirt, put it in my mouth, and bit it hard. Took the liquid and opened it. I started to breath heavily with each passing second. And then, I poured it on my abdomen. The sting it was killing me. It felt like when you're frying a chicken with oil, the oil would jump and when it touched your skin, you jump away, but this shit, is far worse. I bit hard and my screams were muffled by my shirt, and I put away the liquid.

I let go of the shirt, grabbed the bandages, and wrapped it around my abdomen with heavy breathing. There was no needles nor string for closing the wound, but the bandages might help. The only thing that I have to do is to avoid a fight with Them. finished wrapping myself and put my shirt back on. I looked at my jacket and saw that it had cuts, burn, and torns all round it. I tossed aside the jacket and sigh in dissapointment. I checked my blades and saw that the blades were bend. I took out the knive and threw it away, but I kept the brass knuckles in my pocket. I got up, fetch for some pain killer and kept some medicine with me, and left the store.

When I'm outside, I noticed that I'm on plaza. There was the med. store where I came from, a Walmart, Claire's, Starbucks, more stores that I couldn't read, and a Army Store. My eyes widen, and went straight towards it. The funny thing is, that there was no Them in ths area. Sure there were dead corpses, but non of them moving. It was strange, but lets not jinx it. I got inside the store and saw that it was almost empty. ALMOST. It was like it was emptied comlpetely, but there were only a few thing left behind.

I went to the knives section and saw that there were few of them left. My attention went to a pocket knife that it had a cross in the middle, and it wasn't curved. Luckily, there were two of them, yeah how convinient, and I took them both. I started to dismantle them, to take the blade out. It took three minutes to do it, but I managed. I took my gauntlets out and inserted the blades to it. I tried it and it worked perfectly.

I looked around the store and saw some pistol, but one cought my attention. I grabbed and knew what pistol it was. It was a Beretta M9. I know that I'm not a pistol lover, but I knew how to use one. I checked the clip and saw that there were bullets inside. I took a pistol holder, the one that I take it out from beneath my arm, and put away the pistol. I took the ammo for the pistol and put it away on my new bag that was on my left side. It was a leather brown bag and it was very light. I kept searching  the shop and saw a black leather jacket with hood hanging on display, combat boots, a mask that ony covers your nose and mouth, and gloves with bumps on the knuckles.

Three minutes later, I came out with my new equipment on, and I looked damn good. The mask was for on my neck, but it could help with smoke. I looked up and saw a section that said 'Antique Weaponry'. I went there to check and the place was displaying old fashioned weapons. There were bayonets, flintlock pistols, flintlock rifles, manually crossbows, ax, knives, swords. Some of them were missing and it was bad to leave this here, but I can't take all of it. My eyes landed on a big safe. I mean a bayonet size safe, but that was not what cought my eyes. It was the symbol. The same symbol that has been on my gauntlet. An 'A' style symbol. I tried to open it, but it was locked.

I inspected the box and saw a thin line in the middle of the symbol. I traced it with my fingers and knew what I had to do. I took out my blade and drove it inside the hole. I twisted it, and it started to make some mechanism noise. I retracted my blade and saw that the safe open. What I saw was a sword. The sword was straight, had the symbol of my gauntlets, and had a carving of an eagle. I took it and unsheath it. The blade was pure silver, shinning brighter than any metal, and it had some letters on the blade. 'B, A, E, S, E, A, C, A, E, J'. Those letters seemed that had meaning, but didn't knew what. I put it away and put it on my back.

Then I heard a clank. I turned around with my gun aiming at the door. I moved slowly to see the entrance. When I reached there I saw woman that gasp of surprise. She had short black hair, with blue eyes, and had a goth style clothes. She had a grey shirt with a black hoodie, Converse, and a bat with nails. I didn't move my gun away and her eyes were still wide.

Y/n: "Who are you?" I asked. This type of situation, no one could trust in another until they know them. She didn't answer. Then she was looking behind me. When I turned around, I was hit on the face and blacked out.
