The harsh rays of the sun as it sank dappled the rooftops of each booth and ride. Mark squinted against the light, looking instead for the telltale signs of his neighbors’ existence. Yet all he saw were waves upon waves of zombies, undead mobs chasing out the remains of his fellow humans.

He needed a plan. Sure, he had a weapon now, but that wasn't an excuse to charge forward with a battle cry. Attracting that much attention was surely a death wish… on the other hand, he had no idea how successful sneaking around would be. But there was at least a bit of a higher chance. He'd go with that.

Still as a stagnant statue he stood, watching the zombies’ mannerisms until he could copy them in a convincing-enough way. Mark slackened his muscles and his jaw slightly in an attempt to imitate the mindless abominations around him. This is no time to be self-conscious, he told himself and pushed away the feeling of embarrassment, before slowly shuffling towards the zombie mobs.

Apparently his attempt was working, as the monsters completely ignored his presence. The blond quietly slipped into the green-skinned masses. He walked steadily behind them as they noticed every other foreigner and began to feed. Flinching, Mark backed away from any human that was felled nearby.

But he couldn't keep away from the voices he suddenly heard. “Tom…” There was Edd. “Do you get the feeling that something… strange… is happening?”

Mark strained to look over the crowds at his neighbors.

“Nnnno.” Tom bit into a stick of candy floss, which looked more like a zombie brain from the blond’s perspective. What disgusted Mark the most was the fact the eyeless man didn’t seem to care.

Whatever, that didn’t matter. Slowly, he shuffled forward an inch, seeing Matt mutter something too quiet to hear. They kept conversing as he slunk, closer, closer, until he had almost made it through the undead crowds.

Almost. Before he could react from his final surge forward he found himself crashing into another one of the monsters. The turtleneck-wearing man leaped backwards, an odd sense of deja vu building in him as the dazed zombie whirled to glare. A step was taken, and another, and Mark felt himself lock in place as the creature loomed above-

“VAMPIRES,” Edd suddenly screamed, causing everyone to glance at him in confusion. He blinked. “Oh no wait... ZOMBIES!”

The three of them backed into each other, anxious, watching the mobs close in. And they weren’t the only ones; Mark could only give a sigh of relief as his attacker changed focus before he had to snap into character again. He shuffled away from it, and was about to move forward when-

The sudden explosion of what looked like a cymbal-playing monkey sounded nearby. Embers bit at his fingers as he cringed back. The young man stole a glance at the location it came from and could only see two angry dark eyes searing holes through the flames.

He couldn’t get through that way. He’d have to find another. Which was a good idea, because more zombies were catching on and staggering closer. Mark took a step, then another, and rushed to the east.

In looking for another route instead of right in front of him, Mark tripped on the edge of the carousel ride and fell on. The nearby zombies followed suit. Exhaustion was beginning to fill the blond’s lungs, but he dashed 180 degrees around the ride’s loop and clambered onto a horse anyway.

Still, the monsters were practically lapping at his heels. Mark stood up straight on the pony’s saddle. Unable to get safely down, he leaped onto the next one, and the next one, digging his nails into the poles attached. After just barely getting his footing on the fourth horse, he suddenly remembered his weapon.

The man with the butt-chin yanked the bat from his grocery bags (that had somehow stayed with him through it all) and jumped down from the horse. Immediately he began clearing a path through the mobs by frantically swinging around the sports equipment. One after the other, the zombies were felled. Mark dashed away as soon as the last undead barrier was knocked down.

Even when he tripped on the carousel yet again he didn’t dare to stop. There wasn’t a reason to. All he cared about was finally ending the wild goose chase and getting to his friends. But where were they now?!

For a while, the blond just continued searching. He thought he saw them on the Ferris wheel, but by the time he got there they were gone. The same happened at the game booths. Angrily he shouted, “Let me find you already!”

And then he did.

They suddenly bolted past him, and without a second thought, Mark followed. Zombies swarmed. In fact, the area became so thick with the undead that the tall blond had to crane his neck in order to see his friends at all.

He managed to catch a glance of them being pinned against the wall of a ride. With a final surge, Mark shoved past the zombies and towards them, finally ready to end it, so close, so close-

But there was a scream.

It was a anguished, bone-chilling scream, like the sudden rumble of thunder or a lone wolf howl cutting through the night.

Then, silence. Mark fell to his knees.

There was no denying who’s scream that was.

It’s over, Mark thought.

That’s it.

They’re gone.

The World Needs Heroes - (Chapter 10)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Like Future Tom said about what Zhong Wei’s current whereabouts are, he and Future Hellucard were seen on rooftops performing tricks on their skateboards. “Oh that was nice way of doing a kickfllp” said Future Hellucard. “Thanks man! I���m so glad to have someone like you hang out with” said Zhong Wei. “What do you mean?” asked Future Hellucard. “I mean you’re not as busy as Tom and Matt are. Like every time when I ask them if they want to do something, they just say no” said Zhong Wei. “That’s because they’re grumpy old men” said Future Hellucard.

“Really? They don’t seem that old” said Zhong Wei. “I don’t think you’ve noticed that Matt literally has wrinkles on his face while Tom just wears a visor that helps with his crippling vision” said Future Hellucard. “First of all, Tom has to wear that visor from Apple because he has eye cancer and second, Matt has a robotic chin and eye making him part cyborg….? I think” said Zhomg Wei. “True, but Matt doesn’t have those robotic parts all the time especially when he’s sleeping” said Future Hellucard. “Well you do have point, but at least he doesn’t wear a cybernetic suit because of his body starting to shut down” said Zhong Wei. “Hey!” said Future Hellucard.

“I’m kidding!” said Zhong Wei. “Anyway, I was going to give you a hoverboard, but I got a message from Tom saying that we need to head back to base” said Future Hellucard. “Oh I- did you just say hoverboard?” asked Zhong Wei. “Yeah, why?” asked Future Hellucard. “I want to see it” said Zhong Wei. “Are you sure? I mean it’s kinda windy up here” said Future Hellucard.

“Yeah I’m sure. I won’t look at that long” said Zhong Wei. “Alright, just give me a second to get it out” said Future Hellucard. Zhong Wei nods as Future Hellucard takes his backpack off and unzips it before pulling out a silver hoverboard. “Wow! Cool! Where did you even get this?” asked Zhong Wei. “At some random store that sells them. They are crazy expensive by the way” said Future Hellucard. “How much was this one?” asked Zhong Wei.

“Oh……about £650. I brought myself one like a week ago” said Future Hellucard. “I see. Well thanks for buying me this. Are we going to get together and have skateboarding competition where we grind on rails, you know, extreme stuff?” asked Zhong Wei. “I suppose we can” said Future Hellucard. “Great!” said Zhong Wei. All of a sudden, the sounds of someone slow clapping can be heard as Zhong Wei and Future Hellucard turned their attention to Killmonger who was standing on top of a tall chimney. “Killmonger” said Zhong Wei.

“I thought you had a mission to get rid of Killmonger” said Future Hellucard. “I did, but they seemed to have outsmarted me” said Zhong Wei. “Oh brother……okay Killmonger, what do you want?” asked Future Hellucard. Killmonger jumps down from the chimney and lands a few feet away from Future Hellucard and Zhong Wei. “Don’t get all offensive with me, fools” said Killmonger. “You can talk this whole time? How come you didn’t say a word when we first crossed paths?” asked Zhong Wei.

“That’s because I’m an assassin and assassins don’t talk while their on a mission” said Killmonger. “Thanks for the clarification. Now what do you want?” asked Future Hellucard. “I just wanted to talk” said Killmonger. “Oh I see. Well go on, say something and make it quick” said Future Hellucard. “I don’t think that your precious Red Leader has ever gotten word of this, but there is a danger that is approaching soon and it’s not going to be a fun time” said Killmonger. “You mean the Black Army right?” asked Future Hellucard.

“It’s not the Black Army that’s a threat. There is a commander who has huge army that’s bigger than the Red and Black armies combined” said Killmonger. “An army that’s bigger than any army on the planet? Oh it’s nothing to worry about, the Red Leader still has two fully grown hellhounds” said Zhong Wei. “Yeah, but here’s the kicker. That commander doesn’t lead just any normal army, they lead an entire army of the dead. Also the commander is best known as by his title, Lord Death which fits perfectly” said Killmonger. “An army of the dead? You mean the actual deceased, right?” asked Zhong Wei. “Yes. You see I was tasked to find and get rid of Lord Death since he is basically a dictator who controls everything. Unfortunately, I had the wrong person and then you came to fight me. I believe I’ve blown up a train the process, but who cares about the victims that were on it. They mean nothing to me” said Killmonger. “Who cares about the victims? You literally killed innocent lives and what’s worse is that you’ve almost killed me” said Zhong Wei.

“That’s enough! Please continue” said Future Hellucard. “Anyway, since you now know this information there is only one way to defeat Lord Death and that’s to use the four dragons of the skies” said Killmonger. “Four dragons? What do you mean?” asked Future Hellucard. “What I mean is that they are four breathing dragons that are tamed and used by the Black Leader. If you can get the Red Leader and the Black Leader together in one room, then there is still hope in the world. This world truly needs heroes to defend it and I think it actually found some” said Killmonger.

[At The Red Army Base]

Both Future Edd and Tord were sitting in a conference room. “Can you make this quick and put me in a cell again?” asked Future Edd. “You know, I would love to do that, but I just can’t” said Future Tord. “And why not? I basically became a wanted man who has been plotting to kill you for years all because you put Tom and Matt in your army and you’ve banned cola” said Future Edd. “That’s what this is all about? You actually think that I banned cola which took a lot of things from you?” asked Future Tord. “Well yeah” said Future Edd.

“Again, you haven’t changed at all. Come on in Ringo” said Future Tord. Future Edd’s head perked up as he saw Ringo coming towards him. “R-Ringo…? Is that really you?” asked Future Edd. Ringo meows as she jumps onto Future Edd’s shoulder and begins rubbing against him. “Oh my god, I’ve missed you so much. Like how did you even came here?” said Future Edd. “Oh well it’s because of Tom and Matt” said Future Tord.

“Well that makes sense” said Future Edd. Ringo lets out a meow of disappointment. “Oh yeah…..I haven’t paid you that much attention. I’m really sorry about that” said Future Edd. Ringo meows again. “No Ringo, I’m not buying you those expensive cat treats. I want you to be healthy” said Future Edd. “As I was saying before I got rudely interrupted, I had and I stress this, had nothing to do with cola getting banned. It was already banned when I was taking over London. Besides, I have finally come to realization that a new foe is responsible for a lot of things” said Future Tord.

“So you’re telling me that you didn’t ban cola? Who banned cola?” asked Future Edd. “A person who apparently a bigger threat than my own power. I speak of Lord Death” said Future Tord. “What’s makes him a bigger threat?” asked Future Edd. “He apparently has an army of the dead” said Future Tord. “And you believe that?” asked Future Edd. “It’s safe to say that he was the truly the one responsible for killing off Zolorth, so yes. However, I am afraid of that he must’ve revived him to join that army” said Future Tord. “Oh, so what’s the plan?” asked Future Edd. “We will be heading to the Black Army base just so I can strike up a deal with Tony’s future self. I heard that he has four fully grown dragons that all can breathe fire” said Future Tord. “I see! How are we getting to that base?” asked Future Edd. “Simple, by using Tom’s visor scan. Hopefully nothing bad will happen” said Future Tord.

[Meanwhile]

When Future Tord said about nothing bad will happen when using the helpful features of Future Tom’s visor scan, he sure was wrong. Why? It’s because that Lord Death and his army have arrived at the lower part of South America before signalling his soldiers to attack the first country. One of the operators of the fortress that was basically a border wall noticed the incoming army before commanding their fellow officers. Soon enough there were people shooting at a couple of soldiers from the watchtowers. Their firing was successful; however, this all ended when a seemly zombified version of Zolorth who’s horns seem to be made of ice came out of nowhere attacking one of the watchtowers before coming out of it. Before the soldiers could do anything, Zolorth suddenly breathes out purple flames from mouth which completely annihilates all of the surrounding watchtowers and solders who were in them.

The commander of the fortress ordered for more soldiers to take out Zolorth, but this only made Zolorth give off a screeching roar that very ear piercing. This roar managed to grab the attention of an undead dragon that had horns of ice and had skeletal features to that of Zolorth that came through the darken clouds. On the dragon’s back sat Lord Death himself who then commands the dragon to breathe out the same purple flames as Zolorth did right at the fortress which then starts melting away fast. The commander then orders a full retreat from the fortress as the dragon continue to melt everything down. Eventually the entire area of where the dragon breathed out fire was destroyed leaving an opening for Lord Death to move his army in the border and into all of South America not before reviving those who had be killed into members of his undead army. Within the first full hour, Lord Death and his army managed to travel through all of South America, wiping out armies in one sweep.

Lord Death even killed off environment life and turned the forests into nothing but dead plant life. Things only got worse after that once Lord Death and his army stepped foot in the upper part of Central America. There was a some brief moment where Zolorth ended up beheading an unfortunate soldier’s head and begins eating the corpse as the dragon comes flying in as it breathes fire down the streets of a big town. Eventually three hours have passed and Lord Death had successfully invaded America before crossing the Pacific Ocean just so he can attack many small islands and countries one by one in order to kill off even more civilians.
