Highschool of the Dead: Chapter 5 (The Dead Grocery Store)
Raioneru Voiceover: Well, we made it from the school in one piece, well… almost one piece. We saw Takashi Komuro and he along with his group were on a different bus but we couldn't get to them in time. They didn't see us and drove off without looking back. We found our own bus and got it running, but with Lisa's ditsy ass driving us around, anything can happen.
Hanoki: We have a problem guys.
Everyone looked at her.
Hanoki: I have to pee.
Annaretta: Me too. I've been holding it sense we left the school.
Raioneru: Oh man. What is it with girls going to the bathroom at the same time?
Kyano: Not gunna lie, Jaku. I have to pee too. I was late for the bus this morning and I didn't feel like hearing my mom's face hole if I missed the bus.
Setemaru: Damn, Kyano. It's not good to hold your piss for that long.
Kyano: Yeah, I know.
Lisa: Hey! There's a small convenient store just up ahead. (Points to it)
Setemaru: I'm down with that idea.
Joji: We could pick up any supplies we need along to way.
Raioneru: Alright. We'll stop at the store, pee, get supplies, and keep going. Let's hurry. We got about an hour and a half before it gets dark.
The bus pulls up and parks right outside the doors of the convenient store.
(H.O.T.D. Opening Theme)
The bus doors swing open and everyone except Lisa and Setemaru get off the bus. The others walked quickly to the store. Lisa closes the bus doors once they get inside. Setemaru walked up to Lisa and put his hands on her shoulders and began rubbing her shoulders gently.
Lisa: Thank you, Setemaru.
Setemaru: No problem. You've been doing a lot of driving lately. You need to relax.
She lays her head back and closes her eyes. Raioneru, Hanoki, Kyano, Joji, and Annaretta stop outside the glass doors and look around.
Raioneru: I don't see anything. Let's go, but keep it quiet.
Kyano: Got it.
The all walk in and the lights to the store were off. Only emergency lights in certain areas of the store were on.
Hanoki: Bathrooms!
Hanoki and Annaretta had joy on their faces. Kyano rushed for the men's restroom.
Joji: Come on, Jaku. We got stuff to find.
Joji's attention went to the aisle detail board.
Joji: Hm… Aisle 8. Let's get started.
Raioneru: What's on aisle 8?
Joji: Trash bags. We're gunna need 'em.
Raioneru: Got'cha.
Joji found black trash bags and opened the box. He took out two and handed one of the two to Raioneru.
Raioneru: You get the supplies. I'll focus on finding decent food.
Joji: You got it.
Raioneru went to aisles 1-6 and the frozen food section to find food. Joji stayed on aisles 7-12. As they were doing their jobs, Annaretta screamed out from the restroom. Raioneru and Joji's head whipped around at the simultaneously. They both dropped their bags and ran for the restrooms. As they were running towards the girl's restroom, Kyano came out of the men's room fixing his belt. As Joji and Raioneru ran by, he gripped his Collapsible Staff, flicked it out, and followed them. Raioneru kicked the door open and they rushed inside. Annaretta was pressed up against the wall and Hanoki was standing over a corpse with her crowbar bloody.
Raioneru: What the hell happened?
Hanoki: This thing tried to attack us while we were peeing. *huff huff* It almost bit her.
Joji grabbed Annaretta and began inspecting her.
Joji: Are you okay?! Did you get bit? Please tell me you're okay.
Hanoki: Calm down Joji. I said almost.
Annaretta: I'm fine Joji… Thank you, Hanoki.
Hanoki: Anytime.
Kyano: ****!
Everyone attention went to Kyano. A large group of undead were approaching the restrooms.
Kyano: They're going to trap us in the restrooms!
Joji: No they're not!
Joji rushed the zombies.
Raioneru: Joji! ****! (Runs after him)
Kyano and Hanoki follow. Annaretta looks at her gun and aims it. She then has second thoughts and lowers the gun barrel.
Annaretta (thinking): Too much noise…
Joji elbowed a zombie coming up behind him. When it fell down, he slammed the golf club down on its head.
Kyano: Watch it!
Joji turned around again and Raioneru whacked a zombie that was about to bite Joji on the side of the head. Hanoki stomped its face in.
Raioneru: Now we're even.
Joji nodded. As the four fought the undead without fear, Annaretta slipped away and went back to the aisles and began getting supplies.
Raioneru: They're dead! Let's go!
They ran down the hall and more zombies began coming from the back of the store, coming up on Annaretta.
Hanoki: Annaretta! Move!
She gasped hurried up with two more things. She scoped up the black bag and ran towards the others. They all dashed at the zombies except for Joji. He stayed with Annaretta.
Joji: I won't let anything hurt you. Okay?
Annaretta nodded quickly. Zombies began coming from aisle 1.
Raioneru: We need to go!
Everyone ran for the front door. They tried pushing them open, but they were locked.
Kyano: What the ****! They were just ****ing open!
Raioneru: Aisle 12!
Everyone ran for aisle 12. They ran through the aisle and looped around, past the frozen food section and found a rear exit. Hanoki tried to push it open.
Hanoki: It's jammed!
Raioneru: Gimme your crowbar!
She handed him the crowbar and he tried to pry the door open.
Raioneru: I need time!
Kyano: That's something we don't have time!
Setemaru and Lisa were putting clothes back on.
Setemaru: Wow. We had time to do all of that? What the hell is taking them so long?
Lisa: I don't know. I hope they're okay.
Joji: Kyano, Hanoki. We have to hold them off!
Hanoki and Kyano were tired, and Joji noticed that. With fire in his eyes, he charged the zombies.
Hanoki: Furanku!
Joji: Haaaaaahhhhhhh!
Joji began slaughtering any zombie he came across.
Raioneru: Kyano! Gimme a hand!
Kyano and Jaku began trying to rip the door open with Hanoki's crowbar. They finally managed to crack it open.
Kyano (in shock): We got it!
Raioneru: Run!
COMMERCIAL BREAK
(Camera shot of Kyano and Raioneru barely holding on to the door.)
Kyano: Why is this door so heavy?!
Raioneru: Who makes an Emergency door that opens in?!
Kyano: This store is all ****ed up!
Raioneru: Go girls! Go!
Hanoki slipped out, then Annaretta. Raioneru and Kyano look back and see Joji still fighting.
Raioneru: Joji! Come on man!
Joji looked at them. They were signaling him to come. As he turned and began running, a zombie that he knocked down grabbed his legs and tripped him up.
Kyano: Joji!
Raioneru: No!
Joji kicked the zombie that tripped him up in the head and tried to stand. Raioneru was about to let the door go and help Joji.
Kyano: No, no, no! You let this door go, and we'll never get outta here!
Hanoki (yelling through the crack in the door): Come on guys! They're out here too!
(Camera shot of outside, zombies were approaching)
Raioneru: Shit! Come on Joji!
A zombie fell on Joji and he threw it off. Two more fell on him and tried to bit him but he fought them off before they got the chance to bite.
Joji: Rrrruugghhh! Get off!
Kyano: Joji! Come on man! You gotta get up!
Joji tried to stand a second time but a zombie unintentionally elbowed him in the face and he stumbled onto the items on the wall.
Raioneru: Joji!
Joji: You little…
He looked at his friends then back at the zombies.
Joji: Go!
Raioneru and Kyano: What?!
Joji: Leave me go!
Raioneru: Hell no! Come on! You can—
Joji (cutting him off): No! Leave me! I'm not going to let you kill yourselves trying to save me. I know that door is heavy and your arms are about to give out! Go while you have the chance!
Kyano: But…
Raioneru: Joji…
Joji: The zombies have me trapped. I'm not gunna let you two die! You're important people in my life!
Raioneru: I'll stay back! I'll help you fight! Kyano, you go!
Joji: No! Raioneru, you have to take care of Inazuma! Kyano! I want you to take care of Annaretta for me! Treat her like the queen she is! Tell her I'll see her again real soon. Now get out of here!
Kyano: We can't leave you here—
Raioneru patted Kyano on the shoulder. Kyano nodded. He slipped out the door and Raioneru followed. He took one last look at Joji. Joji gave him a nod and Raioneru let the door go. It slammed behind him.
Joji (smiling): I want all of you undead ****s. Haaaah! (Began attacking)
Raioneru turned around and Hanoki and Kyano were fighting the undead.
Annaretta: Where's Joji?!
Raioneru rubbed the back of his neck and looked down at the ground. Annaretta's eyes widened.
Annaretta: No! No, no, no! (Grabs the door handle and tries to push her way back inside.)
Raioneru: Kyano!
Kyano looked back and saw Annaretta. He ran to her, put her on his shoulder, then began circling around the store. Annaretta kicked and screamed the whole way. Hanoki kicked a zombie back then her and Raioneru ran together.
Lisa: There they go. Hey, why are they running?
Setemaru looked at them and saw the looks on they're faces.
Setemaru: Oh shit. Open the doors!
Lisa pulled the lever and the doors swung open.
Kyano: Start the bus!
Lisa cranked up the buses engine and everyone rushed onto the bus. She closed the doors quick. Kyano sat Annaretta down and she was crying robustly.
Raioneru: Get us out of here! GO!
Lisa stepped on the gas and they zoomed off down the street. Raioneru and Hanoki put the black bags down in the middle of the aisle.
Setemaru: Wait! Where's the big guy?
Everyone looked away nonchalantly, looking away, and not saying a word. Annaretta sobs harder.
Setemaru: Oh no. Not Joji.
Kyano sat next to Annaretta and she leaped into his arms and began crying loudly.
Hanoki looked Raioneru in the face. He face was sad, empty, hurt. She laid her head on his shoulder and tears rolled down her face.
Raioneru Voiceover (Raioneru looks out the bus window): No… Joji… I… You… You didn't have to do that. I would've stayed with you and helped you. I would've killed every undead piece of shit in our path! I… I'm sorry Joji… Annaretta… I'm so sorry. We couldn't save him. He wanted to stay! We tried to convince him! But he got trapped. We… I don't think I've ever felt this shitty in my entire life. Joji Furanku, your death won't be for nothing. My childhood friend… He's gone… (A tear forms in his left eye and rolls down his cheek. He clinches his fist tight.) Your death won't be for nothing. And I'll make sure of it.
