From a helicopter flying over a city the cries of death ring through the air, as the city tears itself apart. The city is being overrun by a nameless horror, something that no human has ever believed would happen. Zombies have become fact; they run through the streets, devouring any person they come in contact with. Blood and chaos mingle with the air as the zombies spread and kill. Two survivors desperately hide in a garbage can, a boy and a girl. They see the helicopter keeping steady air above the ground, a voice calling from it "any survivors who can hear this, get to the roof-tops as fast as you can." The girl brightens up at the prospect of surviving, the boy still grim, thinks about the trek he will still have to make. "Come on Brandon, this our chance to escape these…" she goes silent, as she is still innocent of the names the zombies are referred too. She looks to Brandon hoping for him to make up his mind. They hear a small groan, and Brandon jumps out of the garbage can "get down Lindsay." A single zombie alone and almost withered to nothing, as if it came from a long forgotten grave, walks up to him. Before it can do anything, Brandon pulls out a sword, one of a pair he wears on his belt. The swords were dropped by a store merchant who was eaten alive by two zombies, and Brandon, being desperate to save Lindsay at the time grabbed two matching swords. He has used them since and Lindsay is still alive. They have been close friends since the earliest of child hood, always helping each other. Brandon, the older of the two, protects Lindsay with all his heart, sometimes even taking a beating for her. Lindsay would do her part by comforting him when he is upset with her soft voice and high spirits. Now Brandon is fighting to protect Lindsay against the very face of death itself, his goal is now clear: get Lindsay to the roof under any circumstance. He checks a nearby door leading into an apartment building, it opens, slowly creaking. He motions Lindsay to follow him, but a person bursts out of the door screaming. Brandon looks in and sighs in disappointment "great, the building is infested, and with that screaming idiot we can't hide anymore, hundreds will be on us in moments." He takes out an Uzi he found off a corpse and blows a few rounds at head level into the hallway, and something drops. Brandon motions Lindsay to follow him, but as he looks, hundreds of zombies are already upon them. Brandon gets Lindsay on his back and runs hard and fast into the blood stained building. The smell of death surrounds them both, Lindsay scared out of her wits begins to think they won't survive, and for once Brandon comforts her as he runs. As he passes by an undead creature he gives it a quick slash from his sword leveling it, spraying blood across the wall. He turns around and fires bullets into the mass of zombies behind them, slowing down there progress even more. Lindsay screams as a zombie lays a hand on her, Brandon turns around and with his own blood crusted hands smashes the zombies head off, spraying gore all over the room. Shielded from the blood Lindsay kicks Brandon in the ribs as the zombies approach, and he starts running up the flight of stairs. Covered with decayed and tainted blood making sure it doesn't reach anywhere on his body that it can enter, he dashes up the stair well knocking zombies down the stairs. He gets to the top floor, puts Lindsay down, and removes his blood stained shirt and uses it to wipe the blood off his skin. His well rounded shoulders make him look big and intimidating, as fierce as a football player could be, his short chestnut brown hair covered with a few specks of blood, his turquoise eyes that reflect determination and courage. Lindsay Jumps with joy, her long red hair dancing in the winds atop the apartment building, her deep, blue ocean eyes full of comforting joy. However, the joy does not last, the door is soon smashed down, and zombies start pouring out of the door way. Immediately Brandon starts hacking away, realizing it is in vein to keep them at bay. The helicopter spots them and gets as close as it can. Brandon sheath's his swords, picks up Lindsay and runs to the helicopter. He hands her to out stretched hands. The soldier nods, and tells the pilot to take off. Lindsay turns to see Brandon unsheathe his swords again and realization drops like a boulder in her stomach. "Brandon wait, come on get in the helicopter, you'll die!" Brandon gives her a quick smile "Lindsay I want you to grow up and live, be happy for me one more time before you leave." Turning back he dashes into the herd of zombies, and starts flailing his swords wildly, decapitating countless zombies. Lindsay almost jumps out, tears flowing faster then a water fall, and is caught by the soldier. As the helicopter leaves, Lindsay cries out Brandon's name through a shower of tears before being drowned out by a sudden blast of the helicopter's mini gun.
