Eri Kamei vs. Morning Musume

[Mikitty-saikou]

Finally had the time to sit down and read this. And OMG......

The dead had guns..

I'm reminded of those crazy ass Nurses from Silent Hill 3.  (If I remember correctly, They were the only ones with guns/blunt objects to hurt the player).  And then those silly 'zombie-like creatures with intelligence' from Land of the Dead.  @_@ Oh my.

Reader Interaction for Eri

Eri should try and ask for help.  Like Rick-e and Rei said, She is armed if she needs to protect herself.  Any help is better than nothing right?

But she should be wary of herself, because this guy seems a bit emotionally/mentally unstable (giggly, swaying man facing a wall. just maybe gone cuckoo because he thinks he's the only one left alive?)

[Blizzard]

I also agree that Eri should talk to him.  However, she should do it from a distance, so she has time to react if he tries something.

[Tanachan]

Ask for help, same reasons as everyone else.

[rndmnwierd]

I think she should sneak by him. Sure she says that she can use the gun, but when it comes right down to it, will she really be able to shoot someone that appears human? Besides that, he's giggling, that would set off my creep factor.

[ferrar1]

eh missed the last update !!

i'm abit confused, are they now in the same building as Risa? but just in different part of the building?

[JFC]

I'd be wary of a dude walking around a sewer giggling like a schoolgirl. Eri should ask for help, but keep her distance and, more importantly, keep the gun aimed at him, ready to fire.

...........................OH MY GAWD.
I can't freaking believe I missed that much because of my STUPID projects *school wanted to kill me with three of them* . . . but now i stayed up just to read what you wrote. I dont even care that I'm might not be able to read the other stories I needed to catch up to.  This TOTALLY beats sleeping, even if I should have learned from Wednesday when I was about to pass out from moderate fitigue ;
I'm not gonna comment much on the chapteres days before to drag this on.

But damn was I scared for Risa. I thought that it was it for her at the zombie place. . .
MIKI O______O. . . dammit, why her?! =>inert parallel universe=> I totally think she might be eaten up by the monster and regergitated like in that Korean movie "Host". Yeah.... and she'll totally be alive, uh huh, uh huh. *nods*

The team.... that is so flippin awesome. I think its the best action part right now. Ai doesnt seem to get enough credit in the story. I think shes effing G in this one. Not complaining, following orders, helping the wounded, being optomistic, taking that gun . Of course, Hitomi is one hell've a leader, but seeing as how Miki's gone- Ai is just goning to have to feed me

I love the Interactive Reading you're doing. And for this one, I think Eri should pass by him just to see waht he looks like in front view. Who knows, he might have been bitten by a zombie and that's why he doesnt look so zombie like. Or it could be one of the kidnappers, and that can't be good. Having a gun isn't enough when the man is way taller than you. Red hair? is he caucasian?

I think Eri should sneak by him since he seems fruity!  She really should be wary after all that's happened to her so far.  Mad gun man, scary animals... but knowing Eri she's going to ask because she doesn't know just how bad it is unlike the rest of the girls at this point

[iacus]

Eri should talk to the guy. She doesn't know anything about the island or what's on it and this seems like a good way to find some information.

[TydusArandor]

Wow, so many updates so quickly! Good for us readers, but don't stress yourself out ^^;.

I think Eri should talk to him but as careful as possible, like staying far away and keeping her gun ready. I don't think Eri will die this easily, just because we readers make a (possibly) bad choice, because she at least lives till October 11 ^^;.

Edit: Forgot my reasoning, since everyone pretty much summed it up already x_X;. I also think that at this point contact with anything other than zombies (or the Niita person..) is better than nothing.

[orangesocks]

I say Eri should ask for help. She's the only member who has practically no idea what's happening at this point.
Man! All this talk of Miki and her being dead makes me think she's going to make a big comeback later on as the queen zombie and they're going to have to duke it out with her or something...

[Econxp]

i also agree kamei should ask for help, hope she'll keep her distance tho...thanks for the update

[Sancho]

She won't gain anything if she don't do the first move. She can ask help but keep her distance thou. Play safe that is.

[lil_hamz]

Sneak pass him!
In this dead town, chances are the guy's a weirdo as well. Better not attract unwanted attention until Eri's sure he's a friend.
And OMG!!!!! Kusumi's shot :ON@_@: Luckily Ai-chan's on hand to tend to her. I was just imagining how good Risa would look in that whole get-up she found, then there was an EXPLOSION?!?!?!? She can't die..... not yet..... :baa60776:

Risa Niigaki
  Rockfort Island Prison, Basement (East Wing)
  October 9, 12:23 AM


 
  Putting on the last few pieces of the uniform- she slipped the black, fingerless, leather gloves into her hands- the material squeaked against her damp skin. She moved her fingers about, testing the mobility she had.
 
  With her hair tied up, Risa had finally finished changing- her black, baggy pocketed pants with a firm thigh holster- dark, shiny boots- navy blue undershirt- a tactical black vest she’d found inside the gym bag- and now, fingerless leather gloves.
 
  I’m ready, Risa thought, bravely, checking her 9mm.
  The explosion she’d heard beforehand, still lingered in her mind. Checking it out was her only option, and a liable one it was- a faint glimmer of hope kindled in her mind that it was some sort of rescue squad, some sort of opposition to the dead.
 
  Don’t kid yourself, if it was a rescue squad, you’d be hearing people screaming for survivors by now.
  Sliding the gym bag on- filled extra ammo- it snugly fit, and she positions it on her lower back.
 
  Thump!
 
  A heavy, hollow vibration rattled through the ceiling, making the lockers in the room tremble. Risa reflexively looked up, gripping her handgun. There was nothing to see but plaster, and the sound didn’t repeat itself.
 
  Something above… but what could have made a noise like that? An elephant being air-dropped?
 
  Maybe it was a monster.
  Something out of this world.
  Or maybe it was Sekai.
 
  She wouldn’t know anything until she checked it out. Risa turned and went to the metal door that opened into the outer corridor, a medium sized hall that led up to the long hallway with all those corpses. There was smoke in the air, must’ve come from that explosion, but it was thinning, and although the air was still warm, it wasn’t the heat of a fresh blaze.
 
  Readying her pistol from her thigh holster as she reaches the foot of the stairs, she tenses her body, and steps up, ready to shoot anything that moved.
  Just point and shoot Gaki, just point and shoot.
  Her boots thudded against the hard stairs, and she realized how heavy they actually were.
 
  Risa reached the top, taking a deep breath, and stepped back into the long hall, averting her eyes from motionless corpse to corpse-
  -and craa-ck!
 
  -She froze, and heard a massive splintering of wood followed by the thick, ponderous steps of someone who must be huge moving through the next room, the sounds deliberate and thundering.
 
  Guy must weight a ton, and oh jesus tell me that wasn’t a door being torn apart-
  Risa shot a look back down the stairs to the weapons room, her instincts telling her to run, her brain reminding her that it was a dead end, her body paralyzed between the two-
 
  -and the biggest man she’d ever seen crashed through the door frame down the long hall, shadowed by the thin haze of smoke drifting through the hall. He was dressed in a long army-green overcoat that only accented his size, and was as tall as an NBA star- taller, but with proportionate bulk. A thick utility belt was wrapped around his waist, and though she didn’t see any weapons, she could feel the violence radiating off him in invisible waves. She could just make out his sickly white blur of a face, the hairless, sloping skull- and quite suddenly, Risa was certain he was a monster, a killer with black gloved fists, each as big as a human head-
 
  -shootshootshoot-
 
  She squeezed the trigger, one, two times, and saw the impacts- a flap of its’ lapel blew into shreds just below his collarbone, the second shot slicing cleaning through one side of the neck-
  -and he took another step, not a flicker or expression passing over his rough-hewn features, the fist still raised, seeking a target, seeking to crush-
  The black, smoking hole in its’ throat wasn’t bleeding.
 
  Oh SHIT!
 
  In a rush of adrenaline-dread, Risa pointed the handgun at the creature’s heart and pulled the trigger repeatedly, the giant taking another step, striding into the steam of explosive fire without flinching-
  -and she lost track of the shots, unable to believe that it could still be coming, crushing the bloody corpses underneath his steps, and now less than ten feet away as the rounds hammered its’ mammoth chest-
  -and the gun clicked empty, even as the monster stopped in its’ thundering tracks, swaying from side to side like a tall building in high wind. Without taking her shocked gaze from the reeling giant, Risa grabbed a clip from her belt and fumbled through reloading, her brain crazily trying to name this walking abortion.
 
  Terminator, Frankenstein’s monster, the devil, a tyrant, Mr. Sweat-
 
  Whatever it was supposed to be, the seven plus semi-jacketed rounds to the chest had finally taken effect. Silently, the towering creature slumped to his right, falling heavily against one smoke-blackened wall and sagging there- not crumpling, but not moving either.
 
  Weird angle, that’s all, he’s dead, just propped up by his own weight-
  Risa didn’t move any closer, keeping the handgun leveled at the motionless giant. She looks on, breathing heavily. Was this like a super zombie? For as powerful and inhuman as it looked, she didn’t think so; this was no primal, furious demon, moaning for blood. The tyrant was more like some soulless machine, bloodless flesh that could ignore pain… or embrace it.
 
  “ Dead now, doesn’t matter, “ Risa whispered, as much to reassure herself as to cut off the relentless stream of useless thought. She had to think, to figure out what this meant- if this wasn’t some freak zombie mutation, than what the hell is it? Why didn’t it fall down? She’d emptied a full clip- would somebody hear the shots, would survivors or whoever else might be lurking around the prison come find her? Should she stay where she was?
 
  The creature that she’d already started to think of as, ' Mr. Sweat ' wasn’t breathing, its’ muscular body perfectly still, its face closed as death. Risa bit her lower lip, staring at the still impossibly standing, leaning creature, trying to think through her confused fear-
  -and saw his eyes open, his shiny black and red eyes. Without so much as a wince of pain of effort, the tyrant swayed back to a stand, blocking the hall, his giant hands raising again-
  - and with a mighty swing, he crashed his fists through the air, his long arms whipping just in front of her as she stumbled back. The momentum was enough for both of his huge hands to plunge into the wall across from where he’d leaned. The impact buried his fists, his arms stuck in the wood and plaster halfway to his elbows.
 
  Me, could’ve been ME-
  Back to the weapons room, and she’d be trapped. Without giving the matter any further thought, Risa moved, sprinting toward the tyrant. She flew past him, her right arm actually brushing against his heavy coat, her heart skipping a beat as the material wisped across her skin.
 
  She ran, hopping over bodies and dashed down the hazy hall, trying to remember what was past the broken door, trying not to hear the unmistakable sounds of movement behind her as the tyrant jerked his hands free.
 
  Jesus, what is that THING-
  Back through the broken door frame, tripping over rubble of plaster and wood, Risa decided that she would decide later. She ran, not letting herself think anything at all but how to run faster.

[Sancho]

S~~T~~~A~~~R~~~S~~!!!!  

That's a one mean killing tyrant. Nice Chap. Meochi!!

[meowchi]

Thanks for the comments guys. Really, like all the other fanfic writers, seeing a comment really motivates us to continue, so keep on commenting!

Having a gun isn't enough when the man is way taller than you. Red hair? is he caucasian?

His description will be more detailed when/if Eri sees him up close (remember you guys are still looking at it from her point of view... )

will she really be able to shoot someone that appears human?

Ouh, a deep suggestion! How do we know if Eri will be able to shoot something that is/looks human? Nice observation, very optimistic!

He might be laughing because he successfully lured her into the sewer and has some nasty plans.

Nice observation as well! Did he in fact, lead her into the sewers? She did hear a clang earlier!

i'm abit confused, are they now in the same building as Risa? but just in different part of the building?

Actually, the team (Hitomi, Sayumi, Kusumi, Ai, Reina) are on a different part of the island (on the shore/marina, not to far where the plane crashed actually). The detailed location will specified later on in the story, as the girls find out more about there whereabouts (remember you are reading from their perspective, so some things will not be detailed, at 1st).

Risa is in the Rockfort Island Prison, which is in the military city.

Eri is in the sewers. Does it lead to the city? We will soon find out!Assuming she doesn't have any problems with her little debacle!

[ferrar1]

Yay updates !!

your fic glues me to my LCD reading each and every word you typed. And i'm happy because i know there's still quite a long story to go

Keep on writing these chapters, they are great :yay:

[rndmnwierd]

Poor, poor Risa, she better run a little faster.

[Sukoshi]

I didn't think it would get worse for Risa but it looks like it just did
