I, Zombie [Tag: Everyone]

Alyss again fearlessly had accept Raphael's help down.

Reaching up to take the younger girls body in her arms and lower her down Erica was just putting her on her feet when what must have been Raphael's brothers and Angel turned up. She smiles in greeting -

A loud Wow caught her attention. That voice... she recognized that from the phone. "Yeah!" She waves back realizing with a start how tall he was as he got closer - and what was that look in his eyes? Leaner than Raphael but taller, she did not see Leo - but she had taken note of the shorter stockier turtle in orange - whom was still taller than her!

She felt a blush stain her cheeks. "Your... Donnie?... could tell by the voice. Such a nice voice." She shifts out of the way so Raph can follow her and Alyss down.

More people? - More turtle people too?

Alyss, not knowing quite what to do, just smiled back. Not being used to being among this many people all at once, she remained close beside Erica.

The girls were finally down, and not a moment too soon! After lowering Alyss into the dark abyss, the unmistakable moans grew from a nearby alleyway. Raph's gaze trailed in that direction just as the horde came into view, coming directly toward him. The newly converted a little faster than the others.



"Fuck." He hissed and dropped into the darkness, working frantically to get the grate back into place. God, how he hated working under pressure! This wasn't the measly Foot that he was facing. no. One mistake and he would become one of them. Certainly wasn't in his future plans!


Finally! The grate became snug into position and he managed to extract his fingers just as one of the undead snapped at them. He could feel the cold 'exhale' of the creature that almost took a chunk out of him, causing shivers to run up his spine. He did a frantic dance, the one that his brothers would know as 'the bug dance!' as if he could rid himself of the near miss, and then he braved checking his fingers, finding bloody goop and tissue from the thing's last meal, a significant amount that coated his forearm. What the fuck...zombie vomit??! Still slightly nauseous from blood loss, this did it. His stomach lurched and he removed himself from the rest of the group.. to expel his stomach contents in private...

Well ....

Mikey had grinned at the younger girl in his friendly sort of way - and then hopped up as Don became immediately infatuated with the pretty older girl - to tug Leo back down with them all as -

ZOMBIES!

Actual fucking Zombies had began swarming into the alley. "I think we may have to find another way to help whom ever called Leo." He says and had just gotten Leo down with them when Raph hoped down and began pullin the heavy grating back into place.

Then it was and his brother did that comical bug dance that would often have ended up the butt of many jokes and imitations - with much exaggeration of girl like squealing - but this was not the time for that!

The things above that once were people were crowding where Leo had been, where Raph had been and snapped, moaned, groaned... rasped through lungs that did not work no more.

"Holy fuck..." Mikey whispers in horror.

Erica's compliment caused him to blush but it was short-lived. They had trouble coming in droves. Don sighed heavily when he heard Raph losing the contents in his stomach somewhere a little ways away from them then the noises became louder as the zombies came their way.

"Oh, no..."

Trying desperately to rebound and wiping at nausea-induced tears, Raphael rejoined the others, hearing still fading in and out but managed to catch Leo's 'orders'. It seemed that he as put on 'girl-duty' and he didn't even have to wonder why. He was injured.. but whatever. Getting them to safety was a pretty important task. Unfortunately he hadn't failed to notice the almost instant spark between Erica and Donnie, and out the window went his fleeting chance.


-As if.-

He wasn't even an option, honestly. There was a tinge of jealousy there but he refused to let it show. Good for Donnie, finding a chance at the end of the world. Sighing inwardly, he averted his gaze from the match-made-in-heavens direction and began ripping away the embarrassing bits of bandages before Mikey could take notice. He was -not- in the mood to be teased.



"C'mon. Let's get this walkin' dinner buffet movin'.." He huffed, still disoriented and not yet noticing Angel.

"hey! - Raph!" Erica instantly hissed voice tight with worry at his tearing at those bandages was causing fresh bleeding. Her hands reached up to stop his worry all over her face understanding his wish to be rid of them - well at least she thought so - Yes those bandages were embarrassing no doubt but not leading a horde of blood thirsty undead after them was more important than his dignity - and even more importantly the fact he needed to keep what he could inside himself!

Honestly she was not right now thinking about anything but getting them to safety and then heading out to see her friend Leatherhead and Gran Gran. And was therefore upset when she could not stop him removing bandages. But it was true they had to move.

She had nothing for his nausea and was not strong enough to offer a lean on whilst walking. To... whom she assumed was Leo she said softly and hurriedly, "noise and blood attract these things, I don't think their eyes sight is all that good no more as they run blindly into objects and sort of bounce of barriers when moving about but noise, and smell and possibly even body heat - any source of heat attracts them. Use these to your advantage if you insist on going to find out if you can help more people and stick to the sewers as much as possible, the conflicting residual moist damp heat and sounds and smells down here may help confuse them. And not many have come down here." She looks at Mikey and Donnie too including them in this quick run down gently encouraging Alyss to follow Raphael and wondering if Angel would be coming.

In the lair April paced nervoulsy waiting - looking at her t phone from time tot ime. Hoping all were okay and none of them being followed back to the lair by anything that was supposed to be dead. Not undead.

she was even curling a little of her hair about her finger and tugging it as she did when completely stressed out.

This was taking too long. All they were doing is running up, getting some things and coming back, did they get lost, killed, eaten!?

I'm going to go look for them, They have been gone too long. He finally said.

Hun looked up and nodded his head. But Laz wasn't having that.

I'll go. You need to stay alive for your kid. Laz hopped off the table and grabbed his sword with his one hand. A one handed ninja was still better then some thug going out there. I'll find them then come back. They might be held up somewhere waiting for help.

It was not until Raph started pulling at the bandaging and the pretty underworld girl tried to stop him that Mikey in fact noticed them, and he was inclined to being teasing, to pay his brother out for the pretty pretty little red strips of cloth not yet noting what was beneath them - that is until he caught the look Angel sent him.

It made him cringe and he decided total concern for his brother was more important than teasing him for the cloths. "well if we gonna do this Leo - how - ?" His question died when Erica filled Leo in as much as she could.

"Well damn. There goes a fine piece of tail..." Gabe commented, more to himself than to anyone else. The little blonde seemed stunned so he removed his hoodie and draped it over her shoulders, leaving nothing but the thin wife-beater beneath.

"Do what the pretty lady says.." He ordered, pulling his pistol and pulling back the hammer, ready to fire. That girl would need someone to save her ass, so he figured it'd be him. 'GO!" He yelled at the group and headed toward the horde, blowing the undead's brains out as he went... "Jus' like Resident Evil... ain't nothin' to this shit..."

Lexi was still busy, trying to make sure that her patients were stable and taken care of. Karai was still resting, but her vitals seemed strong. She just needed rest, and lots of it. No doubt the fact that her father did this to her had added an extra burden.


Like everyone else, she was also worried about Gabriel and Mikko. It had been too long, but she didn't wand Eze risking himself, and then Laz spoke up, offering to do it. Eyes growing wide, she rushed to his side and tried to get him back onto the table. "I don't think so, Mister. You just lost your arm! You need rest.." And she knew that if Laz didn't go, then Ezekiel surely would.


Sighing deeply, she knew what this meant. To make sure everyone else stayed safe, she would have to put herself at risk.. but it was a sacrifice she was willing to take for them, and to find Gabe and company. "I'll go." Because she was able bodied and if she died, there would be no child to miss her.

And there was a very loud 'NO' to be heard from both Laz and Ezekiel simultaneously. There was no way they would let Lexi go out there. Though Hun didn't seem to care. he was sitting in a chair smoking a joint, and the smoke was getting to poor Belle.

Ezekiel walked over to Hun and put the Joint out, which of course started an argument, which began a fight.

Laz sighed and looked over at Lexi.

I think you need to stay here and try to keep the peace. I'll be back, promise. He flashed her a smile then headed out.

BANG!

he had rushed at the doors with his powerful new undead body, it crashed against them with a force that shook what minimal dust there was along the doors top frame and wall off. He was repelled but rolling elegantly he rushed again this time the doors

BANG! followed by a satisfying cracking crunch as the strong thick wood began to buckle...

A roar of triumph that did not sound remotely human no more...

Which he was not...

Holding down the forte as he said he and Casey would Splinter sits waiting as anxiously as any of them for the return of his sons, hoping there was no issues bringing Raphael and his tagaloings home. Or maybe there was and that was why it was taking so long...

Maybe...

No! He would not let his mind meander along those dark thoughts listening to the occasional breaks over the radio of more instructions to stay indoors, the epidemic spreading further.

What a mess, perhaps it would be better to try heading out to the farm? When his sons all returned home of course.

"Really?" Erica was intrigued by this but did not think more on it being as the current situation was a freaking zombie apocalypse. So she did not pursue or invite further chatter on the matter... aside from. "Well perhaps another time you can tell me what you know of these suits?" She nods to the two turtles ahead.

"Perhaps yeah." Angel grins, if they both lived yeah for sure and nods back both girls hurrying to catch up with the two big mutants Erica lightly bumping against Mikey and Angel grinning coming up beside Raph. "helping Mikey RedT?" she lightly teases, knowing this would be his story even if it was clear the dude needed his younger brothers support.

Watching Splinter pace was not a good thing, being Splinter was usually a very calm sort of old master ninja and very yoda like...

Unawares just as she was two now wondering if the best course of action was to head out of the city was also going through Splinters mind the radio announcements were advisory to change over to emergency signals and stay on the air for updates. April moves over to the old repaired thing and as advised changed to the emergency frequency.

Had Lexi not been trying to keep Laz from going, she would have put the joint out herself but as it was, the fight broke out before she could act.


"Enough!!" She screamed at the two men, glaring daggers at the two men as she pulled Ezekiel away, knowing she was not strong enough to budge the enormous form of Hun. "It's bad enough that those things want to kill us... we can't do this to each other! We have to work together!" She tried to reason, and glared at Hun. "Don't be smoking that shit around that little girl." She warned.


It seemed a few of the Foot soldiers were willing to intervene if the two males insisted on continuing this. Now her full attention returned to Laz and she blocked his path to the door, her eyes pleading.


"Laz, listen to me. I know you think you can do this, but you've lost a lot of blood. You may feel that you're okay, but you go out there.. there's a very strong possibility that you will pass out. And..." She didn't even want to think about that. She grabbed his shoulders, forcing him to look at her. "I need you... we need you. If you insist on going, then I'm going with you in case something happens. You cannot tell me no.. because I will just follow you anyway. It's safer for both of us if we just agree..."

Once back on the streets, Leo took out his weapons and, sticking to the shadows, made his way to where he thought he heard the screaming. It wasn't too hard to find the humans and the horde that was on top of them, the horrid moans of the undead lead them where they needed to be.

From the looks of it. A foot ninja and some purple dragons were fighting them off. And even though these people would have been considered enemies, with the resent events, now everyone was on the same side.

________________________________________________


Mikko was doing pretty good loping off heads. Then she noticed that Gabe was joining the fight. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate the help. But now she felt that she had to protect the guy and fight for her life.

Tiphanny and Spike, grabbed the other two and ran to the building nearest to them. No sense them getting eaten too.

That buildings large dould side doors burst outward - Slash roaring charged past those still alive, unawares of the arrival on the scene by his fellow mutnats for some moments grabbing a car as easily as one would a empty bucket and swinging it ferociously at the horde of dead humans.

He had been unfortunately in the lane way behind this place scavenging for food and hiding as this outbreak of whatever it was hit, he had failed several times already to help those he tried to in this madness, and those screams of pain and fear beyond anything he had ever heard in his memories echoing now as he tried once again.

Those dead that were not immediately crushed and battered aside from his attack found themselves smushed by the vehicle the giant turtle used like a war hammer. Hopefully buying these humans some time to get by him .... catching the scent of Leo and Donnie but as yet not registering what they were...

Mikko heard the gun shots and looked over to see Gabe coming to help her. She grinned. She would have liked him not to make so much noise, but that ship had sailed. She gave him a nod and kept fighting. Then a car flew over her head and knocked a large number of the undead down.

Mikko quickly turned to see who the hell was throwing cars around and spotted the large turtle.

Wow, he's big. Then more turtles were coming. Though she reconized Don and Leo. Mikko headed to gabe and stood by his side.

Mutant back up is the best! Kick their asses, boys!

Clearly Lexi wasn't going to take no for an answer. But it would make this harder for him, now he had to watch out for himself and her. It was like playing a video game where you have to make sure the person following you dosn't die. He hated those games. With a heavy sigh he finally nodded.

alright. fine. He handed Lexi one of his swords. He had no need for two of them now.

Lets go. He then headed out and moved fast through the tunnels to get back to the streets.

Smush, Smash, Crash!

Bleeeep bleeeeep bleeeep!

The car he was using to plat whack a zombie had a blaring horn, and would just attract more of those things so he swung it with all his might throwing the blasted thing like a shot put hurling it half the block away where it continued to alarm and beep and blare, he grunted and growled dropping to all fours to approach closer to the humans, but stopped feet from them, sniffing registering the scents of Leo and Don as young per than he mutant turtles. "come we all need to get out of here before more come."

A roar!

And a Shuddering, splintering crash as the doors gave out, shards of the wood flying everywhere, the larger bits falling to the floor with loud clatters, shards dangling on the hinges still...

He was a powerful undead beast, something no longed human but not the mindless drones of those other zombies he could sense.

And for a moment he just revels in the strength he had, letting a deep booming laugh leave his throat.
