High School of the Dead: Zombie World with a Gacha

Hidden Among Us



The Japanese Air Force One Aircraft, the sky above Korea.

In the government aircraft chaos ensued, the plane had just taken off from Tokyo's international airport. The prime minister was accompanied by his entourage and security protocol, there were several injured people aboard... from head secretaries to assistants. They had been bitten.

In several compartments of the aircraft thousands of calls were being made to foreign countries, however... the reports were quick to arrive in the prime minister's ears.

"S-Sir, there is something jamming the connections, we have been hijacked!" A person from the IT department said, trying to re-establish connection... the man in question merely remained silent, regarding the chaotic atmosphere around him with nothing but a sigh.

"Those that have been bitten won't recover... Morisaki-san... I will leave it in your hands" The prime minister spoke solemnly, addressing one of the people of his security personnel, a man with kevlar and a carabine. After a brief nod, that person went on his way and shortly after shots were heard.

Silence reigned in the room filled with Japanese officers until two of his most trusted members of the cabinet approached his desk. One of them was called Fuji Sugita, his head secretary. As for the other, it was his assistant.

The aforementioned Fuji approached the prime minister with a gaze that looked too neutral for the current circumstances... and the Japanese diligent noticed.

"Prime Minister... you are being expected in the United States".

"..."

The cabinet members' words confused everyone in the room... this planet wasn't supposed to head to the United States, but instead towards Britain. The abrupt silence prolonged eerily; not even the earlier shots.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Despaired yelling was heard from the room next door, destroying the silence and causing immediate apprehension in the aircraft. The officials sweated and every single one of them switched their gazes from the Cabinet member, towards the gate where the screams were originating from.

"Who decided that destination, Fuji?" The prime minister asked solemnly and what greeted him was not the response coming from his cabinet member. Instead...

It was a shower of blood.

*WHOOSH!!*

*SPLASH!*

Out of nowhere, the body of his assistant was sliced in two pieces, sliding down in a shower of blood that splattered into him, his desk and everyone nearby. Everything the prime minister could see was blood. Instead of feeling shocked, and terrified like everyone else in the room; he frowned profusely and saw how one of his officers' arms transformed into what appeared to be a sword, an appendage with the gruesome shape of a red sword.

"I see..." He said, switching his gaze from the 'creature' towards the gates where a series of banging noises were heard, the door was quickly taken down and the first incoming figure showed itself, a zombie.

*BAM!*

"S-SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!!"

*PA*!*

The security officers began shooting towards the zombies and the 'cabinet member'... but the man merely swung his hand and several sharp red needle-like bullets shot towards them, piercing through their throats in another spectacle of blood.

Banging noises were heard from the doors and he together with the remaining officers saw how the zombies tried to invade the higher cabinet. Panic was quick to spread, but much to the invasion's surprise.

"Where is the specimen, prime minister...? we now know you specifically have had contact with Alex Mercer in the last three months".

"..." Silence was the Prime Minister's response while chaos and madness took over the place as the Zombies continued to rush inside, pursuing the group of more than two dozen fleeing government members that did nothing but cry and yell, effectively pointing out their locations.

Another head rolled with a mere swing from the man's appendage, his silhouette suddenly began to change as if his whole skin was morphing into someone else, like red tendrils switching colours... the first second he was Fuji, the next second he was someone else.

He had a uniform with a star and a pair of wings; Blackwatch.

The prime minister tapped his finger on the table before standing up as if everything happening around him was a complete joke, he finally decided to address the individual in front of him.

"Blackwatch will never get their hands on him".

The mysterious man in a black suit swung his sword forward, only for the prime minister to astound him by doing pretty much the same.

The Japanese leader's body began to transform, his arm morphing like red worms into a pair of long and sharp claws that he used to hold the sword in place.

!!!

*CLAANG!!*

The surprise in the Blackwatch officer was apparent, the clash produced sparks due to the sheer sharpness of both morphologies.

"No wonder... are you Alex Mercer?!" The man in black retreated, in a spectacle of sparks and lights, as the zombies began their banquet amidst despairing wails and screams for help, not something that the 'prime minister' seemed to mind.

The man in question didn't answer the enquiry and instead began walking around with his claws ready to pounce.

"The specimen of the blacklight virus cultivated by Alex must be first allowed to grow... perfection is not achieved by innateness but instead, adaptability... you should have learned that lesson with Elizabeth Greene. After so many years you finally found the trace and couldn't stop yourselves from meddling where you're not called... what was the point to release the Virus in Japan?"

"The specimen is located in Japan, Mercer concealed his trace pretty well... a pity it was not enough. The moment the specimen mutates, he will become the best weapon we could have gotten our hands on-!"

The man in black was not even allowed to finish, amidst the noise of crushing flesh, the prime minister's claws transformed into a whip that sliced across unhindered, destroying everything in its path and causing several explosions.

*BOOOOOMMM!!!*

The Blackwatch officer evaded only to find the prime minister upon his trace, delivering a vicious kick to the face that sent him flying like a rag-doll with more than a little inhuman strength.

*BAAAANGGG!!*

His body phased through the aircraft chassis, leaving a gaping hole that began sucking everything as the plane plummeted down onto the territory of Korea.

Seeing the predicament he was in, the Prime Minister scowled inwardly, standing by the big hole and jumping, he extended his arms and began to glide through the air, leaving an imploding plane to fall unhindered on Korean territory, possibly killing thousands.

'It will take me a while...'
