While Zain was part of the Reborn group, there were people that he had travelled with and had done a number of missions together. Quite a bit of time had been spent together and they got along well, at least everyone else did regardless whether or not they spoke to Zain, since he was a man of few words.
Still, these people grew to trust Zain more than anyone, and they were Pink, Kun, Dab, Kelly and lastly Skittle, who had been his childhood friend.
Recently, a tough decision had come up for them and that was leaving Zain behind. There was an attack at where they had made their base, the school, and as the Zombie Hunters attacked with a large force, the only thing they could do was escape.
Skittle, with his great strength, wanted to carry Zain out of the area, but they had constantly ran into trouble one time after another with the super users. They could see that they were trying hard to protect Zain for some reason, and eventually they had no choice but to leave him behind.
Little did they know, it was because of these actions that the Zombie Hunters had decided to take Zain in, even though it looked like he was at the point of death.
The group had gathered together and were in an apartment room. These areas were scattered all over the city, and they had chosen one that was full of zombies. There was less chance of them being raided by humans looking for a place to stay.
"What are you doing?" Dab asked, as he sat next to Skittle at the dining table.
There was a large map of the city spread out, with multiple areas crossed out and colour coordinated. As they moved, Dab had seen Skittle adding to the map more and more.
"I'm tracking the movements of all the groups with the information we have." Skittle said. "At first, we moved to the other areas within our territory, the areas that Zain had already taken over, but everywhere we went, the Zombie Hunters ended up attacking the area and taking it over.
"To the point where we've had to enter the inner circle of the city. We can't go much closer to the centre, that's where the higher stage zombies are at. No group has entered that area at all yet." Skittle explained.
"With the way the Zombie Hunters are moving, it looks like they've made their move." Kun said, coming over and taking a look at the map while standing with his hands on the table. "Doesn't that mean that they'll be spread more thin, they should be losing power as well, it will be a chance for us to get Zain."
"With just us?" Kelly said, drinking a glass of water in the kitchen area. "You saw how many of those Zombie Hunters they had that attacked the school. If they've decided to go through with this extermination plan, then they have to be confident they have enough strength to get rid of all of the zombies.
"Once they get rid of all the outer areas, they'll probably move toward the centre as well. Besides, we don't even know where Zain is, so we would just be going in blind."
They all wanted to rescue Zain, but none of them could see a way of doing so. As time passed they were hoping he would just burst through the door, telling them all he was back. They had run into him before, he had come to them before, so why wouldn't it happen again?
"There is no one else here, more than me, that wishes to save Zain." Skittle said. "Right now though, we would just be risking our lives for no reason as we have no information. If it was Zain, you know what he would tell us all to do. He would tell us that we need to survive."
Memories started to appear of Zian in their heads, the amount of times he had said those words as they were out on their missions, right now, they could hear the same voice saying the same words in their heads putting a small smile on all of their faces.
"Okay, so then with the current situation the way it is, how the heck do we survive all of this?" Pink asked. "If we go deeper, we risk running into the demons and the higher stage zombies. If we stay in the outer areas and the Zombie Hunters get us. So what does that leave us with doing?"
"Well." Skittle said. "We could continue wandering around as we are doing, but that's not the safest thing, and if we do want to help Zain, we need information. So the best thing to do would be to get help. The Military had quite a good relationship with Zain. We also know that Kelly is close with a particular person there, and Zain also has a group of humans that he had saved in the past that are there.
"However, the military's situation is unclear. They answer to those on the outside, and we don't know how cut off the current military is from within. If we were to work with them, most likely we would need to bring something to them as well."
Hearing this, they felt like they knew where this was going, because it meant they only had one option.
"There is one group that is accepting of us Reborn Zombies, and if we explained the situation, I'm sure they would let us in. It's a bit of a risk but I don't think they would be hostile towards us… but there is a chance."
Skittle's finger pointed to one area on the map. They all leaned forward and as expected his finger was where they guessed.
"The Reborn facility." Pink said.
