Chapter Text

Muni was walking by herself to school.

She didn't really know why though.

She kept hearing this weird tune.

The ending of outnumbered by the devil wears prada, from their zombie EP.

She had listened to that all of last night while playing call of duty world at war nazi zombies on her ps3.

And because of that, she barely got any rest.

Kurumi then skipped over to her.

"Heya, how's my favorite bunny girl doing?" Kurumi asked, smugly.

Muni blushed.

Muni has been crushing on kurumi for a long while now.

Kurumi somewhat knows this, and tends to tease her about it every now and then.

"I-I'm fine kurumi, why are you teasing me again today? Is there something you need?" Muni asked.

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows." Kurumi said, shrugging.

Muni sighed.

"Well how are you doing?" Muni asked.

"Well, I'm great, I'm gonna watch the Minecraft movie later today!" Kurumi shouted in joy.

"Oh, I didn't know that came out, maybe we can watch it together." Muni said, smiling.

Kurumi squealed in excitement.

"Yes yes YES! WE NEED TO WATCH IT TOGETHER!" Kurumi shouted in much excitement, towards a now much more nervous muni.

"V-volume please.." muni said, quietly.

"Sorry, heh..heh.." kurumi said, now a bit sad.

"No no it's okay, I'm not mad at you, let's walk to school together!" Muni shouted in joy.

She then spotted something, off and ran off in a panic, grabbing kurumi's hand and taking kurumi with her.

All the while, kurumi had zero clue on what muni saw.

But she did hear it growl.

"Maybe it was a wild dog." She thought to herself.

Eventually, they reached school and went their separate ways, for now.

Things at school went, normalish.

Kurumi and muni kept hearing strange noises throughout the day and so did some of their friends, like book, haruna, saori, Homer, nicole, and party cannon album.

Eventually, the school day ended and muni and kurumi met up with each other again, to go watch the Minecraft movie.

But the further they walked, the more isolated the town got.

It was strange.

They walked to the local movie theater, but something felt off.

The floor was scattered and littered with popcorn and other random things.

Muni found a gun on the floor, and picked it up.

Kurumi found a metal baseball bat and picked it up as well.

The duo slowly walked through the theater, and a growling noise was soon heard.

"It's the same growling noise I heard earlier." Kurumi said.

Muni was hearing that weird tune again.

She then heard a radio on the floor, with some garbled speech.

Kurumi then found a duffle bag, filled with stuff.

They set their found items on a bench nearby the bathrooms and kept walking, grasping their weapons tightly as fear consumed them like a drug.

Then, that growling noise kurumi heard earlier growing louder.

Then, a nazi zombie came running towards them.

Muni and kurumi didn't know what to do, until muni shot the pistol on complete accident.

The bullet fired from the pistol, and went straight through the zombie's head, causing him to fall to the ground dead, but not before the bullet split his zombified skull open.

Zombie blood got all over muni and kurumi.

The girls were visibly shaken up from seeing a corpse.

And an undead one at that.

"Did you..just fire a gun..?" Kurumi asked.

"Yeah..and..it felt good.." Muni said, shocked but smiling.

But that smile quickly faded once she spotted a small horde running towards them.

The duo armed their weapons.

Muni started firing, getting headshots on a few zombies.

Kurumi ran and wacked some zombies with her metal baseball bat.

It was surprisingly effective.

Blood and guts were splattered all over the duo, but they didn't care.

They were fighting for their own survival now.

After they got rid of the zombies, they grabbed the mystery duffle bag and radio and headed out of the theater.

"Hey, what is that radio playing?" Kurumi asked muni, as muni held the radio.

"Well I don't know." Muni said.

"Turn up the volume, I hear something." Kurumi said.

Muni turned up the volume and the radio said, "Hey, if anyone is hearing this, we are outnumbered, Japan, more than half of the US, and most of universe #5-8F is overrun by the undead. Seek shelter, gather supplies, and evacuate if any means possible, and I mean it, this is party cannon album, signing off for possibly the last time!"

Kurumi knew that guys name.

Party cannon album was the radio guy in their town.

And her older brother.

"That's my brother.." kurumi muttered.

"Wait what?!" Muni shouted.

"We have to find him!" Kurumi shouted.

"But we don't know where he is, or any of our other friends!" Muni shouted.

Just then, saori and rikaimage.jpg showed up, as saori pulled up in a beaten up and bloodied minivan.

"Get in if you want to live." Saori said.

"Well, alright then." Muni said.

They knew that they can trust saori.

She was apart of mermaid, and they were friends with that group anyways, so things will be fine, totally.

The duo got into the back of the minivan, and saori drove out of the theater parking lot, running over a few nazi zombies in the process.

"Can someone tell me what's happening out there?" Saori asked, not really sure on what was happening around her.

"We heard something about being outnumbered by the undead on the radio, and we came to a conclusion that this is the zombie apocalypse." Muni said.

"Yeah, we almost got killed by a horde of zombies, but we killed them, and we need to find my brother party cannon album, as he was the one who transmitted that message on the radio earlier." Kurumi said.

"Wait you have a brother?" Rikaimage asked.

"Yeah, how did you not know about that?" Kurumi asked.

Rikaimage stayed silent and went back to playing angry birds on her tablet.

"Weird, but let's just try to find shelter before we go find your brother." Saori said.

"We'll check this duffle bag in the meantime." Kurumi said.

Kurumi and muni explored the duffle bag, like a kid digging through a bucket of candy on Halloween night.

Inside of it, was bags of candy and canned foods, more guns, an Xbox 360 with 4 controllers and the power cord and an hdmi cable, a cd case, likely filled with games, and lot of extra clothes, bras and underwear, mostly from the us though.

"Who would leave something like this behind? It has a lot of supplies." Muni said.

"Yeah but the only problem is no first aid stuff." Kurumi said, concerned.

"Yeah, that's gonna be an issue, but let's focus on finding shelter right now." Muni said.

"Speaking of shelter, we've arrived." Saori said.

She pulled up to an abandoned trailer home out in the middle of nowhere.

Kurumi and muni got their weapons and the duffle bag out, which was heavy as kurumi struggled to carry it.

Saori kicked open the door, and turned on the light.

Surprisingly the trailer home still had power.

"Well this place doesn't look too bad for shelter." Saori said.

"Let's go find our rooms." Rikaimage said.

The group separated and started to find their rooms.

There were only two rooms though.

One was messy but smelled nice.

And the other was just clean and simple, and also smelled nice.

Kurumi and muni took the messy room, and saori and rikaimage took the clean room.

The messy room mostly just had clothes and food all over the floor and bed.

But other than that, it was liveable, for now.

Besides the dufflebag and weapons, the only things muni and kurumi had were their phones, school uniforms, and themselves.

Muni still had her plushie at least.

Kurumi layed down on the bed next to muni, as muni hugged her plushie.

This whole situation was a lot to take in, and they will have to get adjusted to it.

The duo soon fell asleep, and cuddled together.

Meanwhile, book, haruna, tsubaki, and pillow were camping in the forest, but tsubaki and Book kept having night terrors that kept waking them up in the middle of the night.

"Ugh, I'm never gonna be able to sleep at this rate." Book said to herself.

"Same here girl." Tsubaki said.

"Say, how are things going with the other DJ groups?" Book asked.

"I just pray they're doing alright." Tsubaki said.

"I hope so too." Book said.

Saori was worried about mermaid, for obvious reasons.

One was about her Fiance, Rika.

She had gotten separated from her while the town was evacuating and she had zero clue about her whereabouts, and they were supposed to get married today, but that won't happen anytime soon thanks to the zombie apocalypse.

"It's gonna be okay saori, I'm sure Rika is doing alright by herself." Rikaimage said, trying to keep saori from slowly going insane.

Saori felt her neck become itchy all of a sudden.

"Strange, I'll just sleep it off." Saori thought as she slept.

Rikaimage felt fear consume her.

"I really hope she doesn't have hinimizawa syndrome, otherwise we're gonna have problems." Rikaimage said.

Hanyuu appeared next to her, in her human form.

"God I can finally breath again, holding my breath for that long isn't fun." Hanyuu said.

She hid in the closet.

But her girlfriend Marisa was hiding in the closet with hanyuu.

"Let's just surprise them tomorrow, it'd be funny babe." Marisa said.

Hanyuu blushed.

"A-alright." Hanyuu said, shyly smiling.

"That's a good girl, goodnight honey." Marisa said, giving her demon milf girlfriend headpats before drifting off to sleep in the closet.

Hanyuu soon fell asleep too.

Chapter Text

Muni and kurumi awoke and stretched.

They then realized they were cuddling together.

They both blushed but soon giggled due to their silliness levels being pretty high in the morning.

Ed and Rika had snuck into the trailer home last night, while everyone was sleeping to surprise the guests of the shelter.

Rika blew an airhorn in the middle of the shelter, waking everyone up.

A pissed off Rikaimage and a sleepy saori, with scratch marks on her neck, walked towards the other duo.

Kurumi and muni were now awake and startled, as they ran out of their room.

"What the hell was that?" Muni asked.

"Rika's back!" Ed shouted, presenting Rika, as the orange haired woman struck a pose.

Saori teared up and hugged her Fiance.

"You don't know how worried I was for you babe!" Saori shouted, in between sobs and tears.

"Well I'm not going anywhere baby, and this time, we'll definitely get married!" Rika shouted, failing to notice the scratch marks on saori's neck.

"Also we brought someone you know!" Ed shouted, bringing out Timmy Turner, aka saori's nephew.

He wasn't exactly happy to see his aunt.

But he dismissed that once he noticed the scratch marks on his aunt's neck.

"What's with those scratch marks? Do you have the himinizawa syndrome?" Timmy asked, holding his Goldfish bowl while Cosmo and Wanda glanced at the marks, worried.

"N-no, I don't think so. But my neck is so damn itchy all of a sudden." Soari said, scratching it again, but a lot more aggressively.

"Let's worry about that later, we should get some more supplies." Muni said, finally awake.

"But what about that dufflebag?" Kurumi asked.

"I don't think it's enough to last us for the long run, we should go to town and find more supplies." Muni said.

"But who'd be willing to go there?" Rika asked.

"Ed will volunteer!" Ed shouted, raising his hand and doing a salute.

"I can go, since I am technically a god." Rikaimage said casually.

The others stared at her.

"What?" Rikaimage asked.

"Nothing, I'll go too." Saori said.

"Actually, you're gonna stay here, me and muni will go instead, and Timmy, his fairies, and Rika will keep an eye on you." Kurumi said.

Saori sighed.

"Well, be careful, and find something to cure this damn itch I have, it's really irritating me." Saori said, scratching her neck again.

Rikaimage could've sworn she saw maggots crawl out of her neck, but shook it off as a result of her forgetting to take her meds this morning, or just a random hallucination.

"Alright, let's go." Rikaimage said.

Kurumi, muni, rikaimage, and Ed all left to go get supplies, as Rikaimage got into the front seat and drove out of the driveway, running over a random zombie corpse.

"Now, do you have himinizawa syndrome?" Timmy asked again.

"No I swear I don't!" Saori shouted, trying to deny it.

"No you definitely have it, hell you keep scratching your damn neck!" Timmy shouted, pointing at saori's neck, which now had red marks all over it from saori herself scratching it aggressively.

Lumina stared outside the back window, as she just stood there, menacingly, her eyes glowing red in anger.

Saori teared up.

"Oh god.. oh god no.. this is a dream right? I don't have that disease, not now, not ever, please, tell me I'm dreaming!" Saori shouted, as she started to cry.

Timmy looked at her, worried.

"It's real I'm afraid." Timmy said, sighing in defeat.

Saori had a full on emotional breakdown as she bawled her eyes out on the floor.

Rika hugged her for comfort, and she accepted quickly, as she sobbed into her Fiance's chest.

Meanwhile, party cannon album and ibuki were hiding in an old radio station, away from the horde of zombies.

Aoi had joined them, but they weren't really sure on what was happening since they had just arrived to the concert when everyone was running away from the horde.

Ibuki decided to explain the situation to him.

"So, since you're here aoi, we might as well explain what had happened.

Noa had been infected with the disease, aka C-51+.

A more advanced version of C-51 that patchouli found in an alternate universe of touhou zombies many moons ago.

Noa had been having a really bad cough the day the infection started.

And unfortunately, yuka was the unlucky gal to try and check up on her, and despite her being fit, she wasn't able to outrun the now infected noa, and was quickly eaten alive.

Shinobu and Kyoko tried to help her, but esora told them that she was a lost cause, so they had to ditch her and evacuate.

So far, 3 members of photon maiden, 4 members of happy around, 2 members of mermaid, 3 members of alter ego, 2 members of peaky peaky, and 4 members of lyrical lily were currently alive.

Those being saki, towa, ibuki, aka myself, maho, rei, muni, rinku, Rika, saori, aoi, tsubaki, nagisa, Kyoko, Shinobu, haruna, miyu, miiko, and kurumi were all still alive.

Esora had gone missing shortly after, and the other missing members of mermaid, peaky peaky, photon maiden, and alter ego either went missing like esora, or died to the infected horde of zombies overpowering them.

Ibuki had seen it happen live on stage.

My DJ Group, Photon maiden was right about to do a concert when this all happened.

We had all gotten into the locker rooms to change, when Noa had a really bad coughing fit, as per usual.

Peaky peaky had tagged along with us, and so did my boyfriend, party cannon album, out of concern.

Then, noa started to cough out some of her organs and eventually her liver and her lungs.

Then she turned into a nazi zombie.

A fast one at that.

Me and party cannon album were horrified to say the least, and held onto each other for comfort.

Yuka decided to poke the bear, and see if this was really happening and well, shit hit the fan fast.

Everyone except for Yuka evacuated and well, Yuka died obviously.

Me and PC Album evacuated to an old radio station that was still active despite it going bankrupt in 2014, and PC album sent out a message to everyone in Japan, before the radio signal here got cut off, and now we wait, either for our demise or for rescue, whatever works honestly." Ibuki said, sighing as PC album hugged her.

Aoi was speechless.

Usually she was calm and collected but they didn't really know what to say.

Meanwhile, Rikaimage, kurumi, muni and Ed had found a gas station that they could rob for supplies.

Rikaimage handed everyone pistols, golf clubs and baseball bats, sunglasses and masks to equip and whatnot.

"Alright, let's go inside." Muni said, holding kurumi's hand as she lightly blushed.

Muni blushed too, as they followed Ed and rikaimage into the gas station.

Chapter Text

Rikaimage pryed opened the gas station doors, since they were automatic and had basically stopped working all of a sudden.

Meanwhile, Denzel crocker and yōu watanabe were in the backroom, making out for whatever reason.

"Babe, are you sure we should be doing this while the zombie apocalypse is going on outside?" Yōu asked.

"I'm pretty sure we should be fine baby." Crocker said.

The two continued to make out.

Meanwhile with Rikaimage and her group, Ed had found a giant ice cream machine and lifted it off of the ground, and hauled it to the back of the minivan.

Kurumi and muni walked through the store, as they looked at some shelves.

Kurumi found some Reese's cups and some mtn dew.

She had also found breaking bad season 1 on DVD.

Muni had a shopping cart full of items, such as microwaveable burritos, more canned foods, some frozen pizzas, candy, chips, and some essential stuff like some first aid kits, gasoline cans for their minivan, more clothes, and also some random junk and weapons, such as DVDs, video games, guns, rifles, and a couple of random household items such as a lamp, a ceiling fan, a spiky baseball bat, a bunch of pencils, including pencil herself, and two umbrellas, a spongebob one and an umbrella in the color of the trans flag.

"Hell yeah trans right!" Rikaimage and kurumi both shouted, pointing at the trans flag umbrella.

Muni smiled softly.

She hadn't told kurumi about her being a trans girl yet, and wasn't sure on whether or not she should do it now or wait till later.

"Ed says we should leave!" Ed shouted from outside.

"Yeah, we should probably leave now, before the horde arrives." Kurumi said.

"Yeah fair point." Muni said.

Muni, kurumi and rikaimage got their items and left the gas station.

Rikaimage threw the cart full of supplies inside of their minivan, and she also chained the ice cream machine to the minivan, and put some upgrades to the minivan so it could now haul big stuff.

"Ed will drive!" Ed shouted.

"Well alright then." Rikaimage said, oupting to sit in the passenger seat this time.

Ed immediately went ham on the gas pedal as he drove out of the gas station and to their shelter, as the ice cream machine dragged across the concrete, tearing it up in the process.

Meanwhile, crocker and yōu were basically just fucking in the back closet of the gas station, unaware of the upcoming horde.

Back at the shelter, saori had to be restrained until Rikaimage, kurumi, muni, and Ed had came back with the supplies due to her just aggressively scratching her neck, and now this time, maggots were starting to crawl out of her neck.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she scream, struggling to break free so she could itch her neck.

"IT'S SO DAMN ITCHY, I NEED TO ITCH IT, SO BADLY!" Saori shouted.

Rika and Timmy chose to try and ignore her banshee screams and made some lunch with whatever they could find in the trailer home.

Cosmo and Wanda kept an eye on saori.

They couldn't exactly help much due to not having enough magic in their wands to keep saori stable.

Rika couldn't help but feel bad for her Fiance.

Timmy felt the same way, as he also felt bad for his aunts, saori specifically though.

"I wish we could help her, but without the right magic, we can't seem to keep her stable." Timmy said.

Meanwhile in the closet, Kevin the minion, Keke, Kanon, kasumi, yuu, Teardrop, and Robin were all now inside of the closet.

"We need to get out of this damn closet." Marisa said.

Teardrop nodded.

She then kicked down the closet door, which resulted in her and everyone else that was crammed inside to fall out of it.

"Uh, where are we?" Kasumi asked.

Teardrop shrugged.

"Oh thank goodness girls, and Kevin, we need some help here." Cosmo said.

"What's wrong?" Keke asked.

"Well.." Cosmo said.

The girls, including Kevin, realized the situation after they saw saori screaming and begging to itch her neck, as they saw the deep red scratch marks.

"Oh dear god..she looks awful.." Kanon said, shaken up.

"Yeah no shit." Timmy said.

"Is there anything we can do to help out?" Keke asked.

Just then, rikaimage, Ed, muni and kurumi burst into the trailer home, hands full of supplies.

Ed dragged the ice cream machine inside of the house, which somehow didn't destroy the front door.

Pencil was fast asleep in the shopping cart.

But she was awaken by muni and kurumi bashing the shopping cart through the door, almost breaking it.

"Jesus, we can't pay for the damages, be more careful next time!" Timmy shouted.

"Geez sorry dad." Kurumi said sarcastically.

"Ugh, what's going on?" Pencil asked, as she had now awoken from her long nap.

"Welcome to your new home!" Ed shouted.

"What..?" Pencil asked, her eyes darkening.

She turned to her right, just to see her ex girlfriend, muni, standing behind kurumi.

"Do you and this pencil girl have some beef with each other or something?" Kurumi asked.

"Yeah, she's my ex girlfriend!" Muni shouted.

"Oh shit.." kurumi said.

"Great, why did my ex girlfriend have to be here?" Pencil asked.

"I was just trying to get supplies, I didn't even know you were in the gas station we were robbing for God's sake." Muni said, glaring at pencil, who glared back at her like it was Bfdi 18's staring contest challenge all over again.

"Damn, exes am I right?" Kurumi asked Timmy.

"Yep, they sure are fun." Timmy said, sarcastically.

"Well, what supplies did you guys get anyways?" Keke asked.

"It's in the shopping cart, go look at it." Muni said, annoyed.

"Oh yeah Rikaimage, can you fix saori?" Rika asked, practically begging on her knees to have her Fiance go back to normal.

Rikaimage sighed.

"I can do it, but it's only temporarily so if she ends up like, well, aggressive and shit like that, tell me right away rika." Rikaimage said, getting up in rika's face.

"Okay okay geez girl, chill." Rika said, putting her hands up.

Rikaimage moved away from Rika and then went to saori and snapped her fingers.

In an instant, saori wasn't aggressive or screaming like a banshee to itch her neck, she was back to normal, but confused.

"Huh? Wait what am I tied up?! What's going on?!" Saori asked, panicked.

"Well, you got himinizawa syndrome, and went insane while me, muni, kurumi, and Ed went to go get supplies, and I had to turn you back to normal with my powers." Rikaimage said, as she untied soari.

Soari rubbed her arms, as they were sore from being tied up for the entire morning.

"Well, I'm gonna go start making lunch, I'll call you guys when it's done." Rika said.

"Hopefully it isn't burnt." Saori said.

"It won't be I promise babe." Rika said, winking.

"It's gonna be burnt to a crisp, I know it." Saori and rikaimage both thought.

Chapter Text

Rika had set up a pan and pot and a lot of utensils on the dining room table for lunch.

This was also cause she couldn't find much stuff for an actual good lunch anyways, since half the food in the trailer home was moldy or expired.

She was gonna attempt to make macaroni and cheese and a grilled cheese sandwich, as she found the ingredients for that in the pantry while looking for a snack earlier.

Rika turned on the stove and got to cooking, pouring around 6 boxes of spongebob macaroni and cheese into the pot.

She was more focused on the macaroni and not so much on the grilled cheese though.

The grilled cheese got burnt to a crisp, but it was still somehow salvageable.

But the macaroni ended up being worse.

Kurumi and muni were talking near the kitchen about random stuff when they smelt the macaroni burning.

Then it caught on fire.

"Are you out of your damn mind rika?!" Rikaimage shouted, shoving Rika out of the way as she sprayed the burning pot with a fire extinguisher.

Rikaimage sighed as she snapped her fingers, trying to salvage the macaroni and cheese.

"Hehe..thanks.." Rika said.

"Whatever, you do that again, and you're gonna pay for the damages." Rikaimage said.

Meanwhile outside of the trailer home, tsubaki and Book smelt the burning macaroni smell.

"Geez what's that awful smell?" Book asked.

Tsubaki gasped.

"That must be rika!" Tsubaki shouted, as she dropped the firewood she was carrying and left her group behind, with book trailing behind.

Meanwhile, a horde of zombies followed them, slowly, but also at the same time, slowly gaining speed.

Ibuki, PC Album, and aoi were still hiding in the old radio station building, when for some reason, gives you hell by the all American rejects started playing from another room out of nowhere.

A person was seen smashing random equipment or bashing open doors.

Ibuki recognized her, it was esora.

But she looked a little different.

Her hair was messy and she clearly was having trouble walking.

And then PC Album saw rei, covered in mud running after esora.

"Wonder what's going on with her." Aoi said.

"Not sure, but we should follow her." Ibuki said.

PC Album nodded.

The 3 of them snuck off to follow esora and rei.

Meanwhile rei just wanted esora to calm down, but why was she so angry?

Back with rika's group, she served her burnt macaroni and cheese and grilled cheese to the people eating that night, that bring Keke, Kanon, Cosmo, wanda, Timmy, rikaimage, Rika herself, her Fiance saori, muni, kurumi, and Marisa.

Hanyuu and the others had other food that they were eating, or weren't really in the mood for food at the moment.

Surprisingly, it wasn't too bad.

"Well we can just live here for the time being, it's quite nice actually." Muni said.

"Yeah, it's not like anything bad will happen." Marisa said.

Just then, book and tsubaki busted down the door, with the horde of zombies following them as they boarded up the door with a shelf they moved to block the entrance.

"What's going on?" Pencil asked.

Ed looked out the window, and so did muni.

They told Rikaimage and boy, she was pissed.

She clenched her fists and glared at tsubaki, and pinned her to the door, grabbing at her shirt.

"You just doomed us all you bastard!" Rikaimage shouted.

Just then, Nicole and ari burst through a window and hid under the table.

"I think we should evacuate." Kurumi said.

"Yeah that's a good idea right now." Muni said.

Chapter Text

Kurumi and muni got to work right away, grabbing as much stuff as they could fit into another duffle bag.

Pencil, Ed, Timmy, and hanyuu fought off the zombies.

Cosmo and Wanda helped with getting the supplies in the minivan.

Somehow there was space for all of their luggage and it didn't take them too long to pack it all up.

But the main issue was the zombies.

"There's too many of them, we're gonna get overwhelmed easily!" Muni shouted, panicked and freaking out.

"Muni calm down, we're gonna be okay!" Kurumi shouted, shaking muni to calm her down.

"Okay geez, stop shaking me." Muni said.

"Right, sorry." Kurumi said.

Kurumi and muni fought off a horde of zombies, and were able to keep them from getting to their group.

Unfortunately, they were running out of ammo, and more were coming.

Just as soon as they thought they were cooked, saori and pencil grabbed them and threw them into the minivan.

Pencil drove this time, and made muni sit in the front with her, cause she had some stuff to get off of her mind.

Once the group got away from their now overrun trailer home, the ride to their next shelter was silent for a while.

"So, why did you react the way you did when you saw me, and why did you rescue me?" Muni asked, trying to spark up a conversation.

Pencil's face turned from anger to regret, as she sighed in frustration.

"It was because..I had no one..and I thought you were cheating on me..so I dumped you..then I saw you again, and I knew that couldn't make that same mistake again, and then, you and that other girl almost died to the horde..and I knew if I left you to die, I would regret it for the rest of my life..that's why I saved you..I'm sorry if I was just a terrible girlfriend..and a terrible person overall.." Pencil said, her eyes watering.

Muni was just..speechless.

She didn't really know what to say.

"I'm..I'm sorry too..for how things ended, but..I'm willing to be friends again, if that's okay with you.." Muni said, softly smiling at pencil.

Pencil smiled back, sad but also, happy.

A sad smile in this case.

"I'd love that.." Pencil said.

"Thank you.." Muni said, smiling.

"No problem." Pencil said, now feeling a bit better.

"Hey pencil, where are we going exactly?" Kurumi asked.

"I honestly don't know right now." Pencil said.

Meanwhile, back at the radio station, ibuki, aoi, and party cannon album continued to follow esora and rei.

"Where are Steve and Garrett at?" Esora asked.

"I'm not sure, but they have to be around here somewhere." Rei said.

"Hey esora, rei, what are you two doing?" Ibuki asked, finally catching up with the two of them, as PC album and aoi trailed behind.

"Look, we need to find our rides Garrett the garbage man and Steve, they told us to meet them here but they didn't tell us where in this building specifically.

They then heard a zombie growl.

Then a horde alert was heard.

"We need to go, now." Ibuki said, grabbing esora and PC album, and ditching the radio station.
