Chapter 4
We all ran as fast as our legs could carry us through the main hall and out of the building . The dead, shambled after us attracted by the sound of our heavy breathing and footfalls . Haven, taking the lead, kicked away two zombies ahead of the group to make way for the rest of the survivors . He then raised his weapon to slice off an arm from a zombie coming up from behind him .
Saeko, following from behind, smashed her bokken against zombies left and right, helping to clear the way towards the bus at the corner of the parking lot .
Kohta's accuracy with his nail gun, though, thoroughly shocked bot Haven and I . That fatty was a beast .
Sure, we saw the anime but getting head shots 100% of the time? It would be pretty hard to do so, wouldn't you agree?
While my thoughts were swirling around, a voice called out from our left . Turning around, we noticed two people we hadn't seen since leaving them to fend for themselves .
.
.
.
Jax: Haven!
Haven: Jax?! Izumi?!
Jax: You son of b*tch, you're still alive huh?!
Haven: I told you, I'll be fine no matter what . You both should only worry about yourselves .
Jax: After leaving us like that, I seriously want to punch your face in .
Haven: Heh, you'll have time to do it later, we're leaving on that bus . Join us .
Izumi: We're on our way! Wait for us .
.
.
.
They rushed through the horde, slicing through the zombies with as much force as they could muster . Izumi was carrying a bat in her hand . She must have found it and picked it up to ensure her safety .
Within mere moments, they reached our group and helped us cut through the horde that prevented us from reaching the bus .
Shizuka, the busty nurse, as soon as the way was clear, rushed into the minibus and switched on the engine . As she was fiddling with the controls we noticed a group of students running alongside a man wearing a suit .
They were heading to the bus as fast as they could to avoid being left behind .
Mr . Shido's Cabal .
Rei, seing the person she hated so much, shouted out in anger .
.
.
.
Rei: We should leave them . Lets go!
Takashi: What? No, Rei! That's not happening .
Rei: Shido is terrible person, we need to leave them all behind!
Hisashi: Rei, what's wrong with you? We aren't leaving anyone behind!
Rei: Im telling you, its a bad idea to trust that man!
Takashi: Look, we cant just up and leave them hanging here . They'll die . Do you want innocent blood on your hands?!
Rei: You're making a mistake Takashi, Hisashi . You're going to regret this .
Haven: Perhaps . But for now, we'll take that chance .
Rei: Haven . . . fine . Don't say I didn't warn you .
.
.
.
As much as Haven would've loved to listen to Rei and leave right away, he couldn't . The plot needed to develop in a certain direction for Haven to become stronger . His mentality needed to change . And I had the perfect plan to implement .
The Rioters would be a good place to start it .
Soon, Mr . Shido and his group arrived at the bus and got on . Rei glared at him the entire way but he chose to ignore it .
.
.
.
Saya: Hit the gas!
Shizuka: Got it!
.
.
.
The busty nurse stamped the pedal and turned the bus around a corner to head straight towards the gates .
A number of zombies were wandering around the gate, the ones that weren't affected by the commotion earlier .
Shizuka, the nurse, grit her teeth when she saw them .
.
.
.
Shizuka: They aren't Human anymore!
.
.
.
She closed her eyes as the mini bus smashed against their bodies, sending some flying and the rest crunching under the screeching wheels of the bus .
The bus's momentum reached a point for it to easily break through the gates, ramming them open . The students sighed in relief that they had finally escaped from the school . Their tense muscles relaxed and their bodies seemed to sink down in their seats .
Suddenly, a notification rang out our mind .
[Hidden Side Quest Complete!]
-You have saved Hisashi Igou, overcoming his fate to die within the school grounds and being turned into an undead to put down by his best friend . Rewarded 2,500 points and two C rank rewards!
.
.
.
Haven: We got it!
[Good Job . It seems that God's dimension really is following the format of Side B or at least very close to it .
Haven: Sure, but wont this derail the plot slightly?
[True . Takashi's decision to kill off Hisashi when he turned was the start of his change in mentality . That would begin the development of him being the leader of these group of misfits . ]
Haven: That's a bad thing . . .
[Haven, have you ever heard of the theory, The River of Time?]
Haven: I can't say that I have . What's it about?
[Think of a timeline as a river . It keeps flowing in a certain direction no matter the amount of stones you throw in . Do you know why?]
Haven: No .
[It's simple . The water will flow around the rocks . ]
Haven: Something like fate huh?
[Indeed . ]
.
.
.
.
We spoke a bit more about some of the stuff we could buy in gods dimension but then the two people we abandoned showed up .
Jax and Izumi walked over to where Haven sat down and glared down at him, effectively interrupting our conversation .
They both took seats in front of Haven and opened their mouths to speak .
.
.
.
Jax: You saved Hisashi . Why?
Haven: . . . I felt that his character could be developed further in the story .
Izumi: Seriously? You are such an idiot . Do you think we'll fall for that dumb excuse?
Jax: . . . You're telling me that you decided to go off alone just so you could change the story line?
Haven: Look guys, I know what I did was stupid but I have my own reasons for doing what I did . I don't expect you to understand but just know, I am not exactly a team player .
Izumi: Yeah, I think we figured that out already . I just can't seem to understand why you're so insistent on walking the path of solitude . You're clearly comfortable with working in groups seeing as how you, Takashi and Saeko were covering each other from attacks almost perfectly . I understand that there's something off about you but, I just want to know what .
Haven: (Aside from having two minds in one body?) . I can't and won't bother explaining why I'm doing what I'm doing . Just, know that its necessary .
Jax: . . . Seems like convincing you is a waste of time . I hope you know what you're doing Haven .
Haven: Relax, its not like im going to completely abandon you to your fate . If you're truly in danger, I'll try my best to come help . Okay?
Izumi: Sure . . .
Haven: Sigh . . .
.
.
.
Haven will find that interactions such as these can only depend on the recipients themselves . He HAS to walk the path of solitude . Unity is important, but right now, personal development comes first .
I can't give much advice to him regarding his social interactions due to my shaky past . Each time I reincarnate, I gain all the memories and experiences of my hosts but I need to let him develop in his own way . I can only act as a friend and mentor to him, guiding him along the way as he makes his own decisions .
He has to forge his destiny with his own two hands and . . . I, will do all I can to make sure its one that'll let us both make it out of here alive .
But for him to start his path of becoming powerful, we must first gain every advantage in the book .
My thoughts were interrupted when the bus stopped near a tunnel . It seems like the plot was getting back on track .
.
.
.
Shizuka: You all need to stop arguing! I can't concentrate on driving because of you!
Student A: Y-yeah . Sorry .
Mr . Shido: The leader of this group has a responsibility of appealing to these issues . I assume that you were appointed as leader, Ms . Busujima?
Saeko: I wasn't . We merely met each other and decided to follow our own paths . It just so happens that our paths seem to coincide very heavily .
Mr . Shido: I see . . . well it has been proven again and again that all groups must have leaders . If not, social order will not be carried out . Exactly like in this situation .
Saya: And let me guess, YOU'RE, going to run for the position?
Shido: Why of course Takagi . You are all in your teens, unaware of the true harshness of the world . I have experience in such things . Why, just earlier I saved all these brave students from the clutches of those horrible beasts . What do you say?
Saya: Pathetic .
.
.
.
Mr Shido's cabal, likely being brainwashed by him, all stood up, one by one and voted for him to be the leader .
Rei, seeing this, stormed out of the bus in anger .
Perhaps some backstory is in order . Rei Miyamoto, the childhood friend/love interest of Takashi Komuro was supposed to be a senior like Saeko Busujima . The reason she wasn't, was due to an incident where Rei's father was in charge of leading an investigation against Mr . Shido's father, a politician said to be guilty in acquiring money through illegal means .
In retaliation, Mr . Shido's father told him to hold back Rei for a year to embarrass their family standing . Mr . Shido, listened to his father and flunked Rei Miyamoto, causing an irreparable hatred to occur between these two characters .
.
.
[Haven . The second part of the plot is starting . Explain the situation to Jax and Izumi quickly . ]
Haven: (Will do . ) Jax, Izumi . The second part is about to start here . Be careful from here on out .
Jax: Haven? What's gonna happen?
Haven: You'll see soon . Stay in the bus and protect the main characters .
Izumi: . . . Dammit, Haven just-
Haven: No time, gotta go!
.
.
With those final words spoken, and before Jax and Izumi could stop him, Haven rushed out of the bus to follow Rei and Takashi . The other bus would arrive at any moment now .
And soon enough, when Haven was out of the minibus, a vehicle that was speeding down the street without breaks was heading towards them, it slammed into a car and careened its way into them .
