------
Out of all the places Zain had been to during his time in this new world, he didn't quite expect he would be returning here. Right now, he was standing outside of, and looking up at, a large grand building.
Behind him was a fountain and in front of him there was a large hotel establishment, and not just any hotel, but one that had once belonged to the Zombie Hunters. He wasn't alone though, around him, Carl was present with the Dark Zombies off to the side with Wendy and Anna.
Right by his side was the group he had raised up during his time in the Reborn facility. To his left though, there was a large military carrier with around thirty men in the back with guns.
They were glaring over at their group, and inside, the place was once again filled with Zombie Hunters.
"Did you really think this was the best place?" Wendy asked.
"Right now, the Zombie Hunters are without a doubt the biggest group." Zain explained. "They have the upper hand in all of this and if we were to invite them anywhere they would just decline. So we had to pick something within their territory.
"This place, since the incident though, hasn't been looked after or manned by the Zombie Hunters, it was abandoned. So I thought it was a perfect in-between."
Saying all of that, it was time for them to head inside. Zain walked forward and heading in with him, by his side, was Skittle. It was only the two of them while the rest would remain outside.
For the Dark Zombies, Carl stepped forward and most would have assumed that it would have also been Dart, but instead Wendy was the one that walked ahead by his side.
"Are you sure this will be okay?" Skittle said. "Won't the fact that you're an ex Zombie Hunter ruffle a few feathers?"
"Do you think he will really care?" Wendy replied. "If this person was an old friend of yours like you said, then I'm pretty sure he's just going to be focused on you."
Everyone was keeping an eye and track on each other, as if they were waiting for another to make the first move as they watched the four of them scale the stairs. When they opened the door and headed inside, it was dead silent on the outside.
They knew the hotel was full of Zombie Hunters and were waiting to see if this whole thing was a trap, but there was no noise, at least no noise of panic.
On the inside, although there were Zombie Hunters, they were spread out and low in number. Zain was looking at them all carefully. In total there were perhaps thirty or so inside.
They didn't move closer to Zain and his group and instead stayed far away. The group soon took the stairs down below. Where they were in a large hallway, with several double doors leading to different rooms.
It was often a hotel that would be used as a convention centre by businesses, or to conduct big events such as weddings and so on. Finally, they had reached the room in question. Two large black double doors reaching from the floor to the ceiling, around ten metres in height.
Zain confidently pushed the door open, and walked in with the others behind him, and immediately, a person on the other side of the giant roundtable, who was standing, had his mouth open and words weren't coming out.
"I never thought, if we were to meet again, we would meet like this, Buke." Zain said, with a smile as he went to confidently take his seat along with the others.
Buke wasn't the only one that was present in the room. Cody and Ryan were seated, along with General Begal and another man by his side. That was the rules that had been set out for this meeting.
That each group could bring in a total of two people each, the exception to the rule was the Zombie Hunters who would be hosting the meeting. There needed to be a few extra conditions to convince them.
In the meeting room itself, there were five Zombie Hunters standing up against the wall on the outside of the room.
"I get to actually speak to you this time as well." Skittle said, sitting down.
Buke sat down as well, but when he heard Skittle speak, there was a great pang felt around his chest. Shaking his head he tried to quickly disregard those thoughts.
"I am happy that everyone had come today, to discuss an important matter." Zain said. "I have worked with each of you in the past, or at least collided with you in one way or the other, and I'm sure it's the same for the rest of you.
"However, we all need to understand that we are not each other's enemy, the demons are, and if we don't work together, then our survival is at stake, and everyone one of us will die." Zain declared.
He had gotten straight to the point.
"Ha!" Buke laughed. "Zain, I don't know what funky juice you've been drinking but everyone here can see that the Zombie Hunters have been doing just fine. We've cleared out more zombies than we can count.
"They are no longer a match for us, and it will be the same for the demons. We have nothing against the military, or civilians apart from them getting in our way. Right now, there are two enemies, and that's you and the demons."
Zain and Skittle looked at each other for a moment, they were hoping that their presence could calm Buke down a little but it didn't seem to be the case. Even though Skittle was now fine, they were functioning and talking. He still acted this way.
The ones that needed convincing were the Zombie Hunters, if he could pull them in, then the rest would follow.
"We can't do this unless we all work together and that includes me, and I'll prove to you right now, why you need me to win this fight."
