Highschool of the Dead: Chapter 2 (Dead Chance of Escape)
(Camera shots of different locations in the school)
Raioneru Voiceover Narrator: Two hours ago, this was just a normal day. (Zombies roars in camera, camera cuts to different area) No one really knows how this shit started… (A shot of zombies roaming the hallways) Myself and a small group of survivors are trapped here. We're currently trying to find a safe way out of this ****in' school. This morning… everything was fine. But then the PA system came on and warned the whole school about a "violent incident" that was taking place. When everyone went crazy and flooded the halls, I couldn't believe what I saw. People getting bitten, falling from windows, and worst of all, the people that were bitten turned into one of "them". We need to find a way out of this school and check on our families. We hope and pray to God that they're safe…
(H.O.T.D. Opening Theme)
Hallways are crawling with the undead, dismembered limbs, and the distant screams of people around the school. Raioneru and the others are creeping through the halls, trying to keep quiet to keep attention off of them.
Mystery Voice: What the ****'s going on?!
The survivors and zombies look to the roof. The yell was loud enough to echo through the school and caught the attention of the zombies.
Hanoki: Who the **** was that?
Raioneru: Shh! Look!
The zombies began dispersing. They began going slowly up the stairs, following the yell they just heard.
Kyano: I don't know what that was, but thank you.
Joji: Now's our chance to move!
Raioneru: Back stairway! Now!
Since the zombies were going up that staircase the survivors came down, they decided to take the alternate route. They ran down the hallway and as they cut the corner, zombies were standing at the staircase.
Annaretta: They must not have heard the scream earlier.
Raioneru: Shit. Time to fight. Ready your weapons.
Kyano flicked out his collapsible staff and got in his stance. Joji gripped the golf club tight and cocked back, ready to swing. Annaretta stood close behind him. Hanoki got in her fighting stance. Raioneru aimed his pistol. Kyano, Joji, and Hanoki charged at the zombies and Raioneru stood back with Annaretta. Joji hit one in the head and kicked another one in the knee cap, breaking it inward. He started beating the zombie's face in. Hanoki kneed one in the stomach and kicked it away from her. Then she roundhouse kicked another into 2 other zombies. She drop kicked a zombie in the face, landed and her shoulder blades and palms of her hands, did a kip-up, sweeped another zombies legs, and stomped its face in.
Raioneru: Holy shit… My girlfriend's a boss.
Kyano kicked one to the ground and jammed the staff into its forehead. A zombie had its mouth hanging wide open and it came for him. He pulled the staff from the zombie's forehead and jammed it into the zombie's mouth and it came out the other side. He kicked the zombie off his staff and hit another zombie with a 2-piece combo. The zombie's carcass hit the ground hard. With one try, he flicked the blood off of the staff and collapsed it back to 6 inches.
Kyano: Now that's how you **** up some zombies.
Raioneru: Good jobs guys. We gotta go.
Raioneru ran up the stairs and Hanoki ran close behind him. Joji stood in front of Annaretta and put his back to her. He got down on one knee and looked back, signaling he wanted to give her a lift. She got on his back and she piggy-back rode him up the stairs. Kyano followed close behind them. Once they got to the top of the staircase, they see other students. Scattered all along the hallway. They're fighting back but most of the students are being overpowered by their numbers.
Kyano: Shit! They're everywhere man!
Joji: We have to help them!
Annaretta: No! Reckless behavior could be followed by death. Let's not do anything life threatening.
Raioneru: She has a point guys. We don't want to end up like them, we have to keep moving.
As they continued up the stairs, Annaretta heard people screaming "help" and all she could do was cry, turn her head and run. Halfway up the staircase, another girl came running from the direction they were headed.
Raioneru: Hey, hey! Where are you going?! There's zombies that way.
Girl: There's zombies coming from that way too!
Everyone's attention went in front of them. Zombies were walking down the stairs at them. Hanoki balled up her face and rushed the zombies. Kyano and Joji readied their weapons and followed behind her. Raioneru and Annaretta tried talking to the girl.
Raioneru: What's your name?
Girl: I'm Lisa Matsuda. My boyfriend Kenneth was just bitten. He tried to bite me a few minutes later, but I fought him off.
Annaretta: Were you bitten?
Lisa: No.
Annaretta: Are there any of them on the roof?
Lisa: Maybe. I saw like one or two on the way up there. They were following Takashi, Rei, and Hisashi. But it looked like Hisashi had been bitten. He was gripping his arm tightly with blood running down his fingers…
Raioneru: Hisashi was bitten? Oh no… I hope he doesn't turn on Rei and Takashi.
Annaretta: We're going to the roof. You'll have a better chance of survival if you come with us rather than go down there alone.
Lisa thought for a second.
Lisa: Okay. I'm with you guys. I'm counting on you to not get me killed.
Raioneru: We guarantee nothing.
Hanoki: **** you!
She chest-kicked a zombie down the stairs and I flopped down the stairs past Raioneru, Annaretta, and Lisa.
Hanoki: Come on!
They rushed to the top of the stairs. Hanoki kicked the door to the roof open and let everyone pass. Once they were out, she closed it behind herself.
Raioneru (whispering): Nobody scream.
(Camera zooms out and shows roof covered with the undead)
Kyano (whispering): You've got to be ****ing kidding me.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
(Camera shot of the hundred zombies on the roof)
Kyano (whispering to Raioneru): Dude. Why is our luck so ****ing bad?!
Raioneru: Shh! The last thing we want is 100 zombies chasing after us.
Hanoki: He's right though. We do have bad luck.
Joji: As long as we're quiet, they won't see us, right?
Raioneru: Lisa. Don't you think this is a bit more than 1 or 2 zombies?
Annaretta (whispering): Suggestion! Let's return to the inside of the building!
Kyano: Agreed.
They rush back inside and close the door quietly. Everyone paused at the top of the stairs.
Joji: We need a new game plan. There are too many of "them" to kill, and it seems that everywhere you go, there's a pack of "them" waiting.
Kyano: If we can get outside, we can run for the gates!
Annaretta (soft, timid voice): Um… that's not safe. W-We don't know how many are outdoors yet. Running out there now w-would be like running through a forest blindfolded.
Hanoki: Jaku… any ideas?
Raioneru closed his eyes and looked down.
Raioneru (Camera shows a shot of the survivors): Find a room and barricade the door. Just until things cool down in the school. Its way to chaotic to move around right now.
Annaretta: He's right. It'll be easier to move around when the hallways aren't flooded with screaming students. And all the students are doing is screaming and attracting more of "them".
Hanoki: What classroom should we goto then?
Kyano: Maybe one with a TV. You know, to keep up with the news?
Joji: Good call.
Raioneru: Let's get going then.
They went back down the stairs to the second floor and found a Math room in the middle of the hallway with a TV. They closed the door quietly and crammed desks against the door.
Annaretta: The second floor is the best place to be. If the zombies break through, we can't jump for the car roofs below. Such a jump would be too high from the 3rd floor. And the 1st floor is out of the question because zombies still roam that hallway pretty heavily. So I guess we're just going to wait here a while.
Raioneru (sigh): There's not much we can really do at this point.
Kyano: It's the waiting game now.
Hanoki: Maybe an hour, 2 tops, and then we try to find a way out of this ****ing school.
Raioneru walked to her and put his arm around her waist. She looked at him and a big smile came across her face. Lisa and Joji were at the window. Joji had his hands on the window sill and was leaning on it , looking out the window. Annaretta walked to him and hugged him around the waist. She let go and he turned around. He turned around and gave her a gentle bear hug. She wrapped around him and melted in his arms. Lisa looked at them and giggled softly. Raioneru kissed Hanoki on the forehead rubbed her head. Kyano walked to Raioneru and put his hand on his shoulder. Raioneru looked at him with a small smile and nodded his head in approval.
Raioneru (thinking): There's gotta be someone else in this school that hasn't been bitten. These undead bastards are going to be sorry they came to Fujimi High. But until we find more survivors or a way out of here, we have to work together to keep each other safe from "them".

Raioneru: We're not dead yet…
