Chapter 77 - Angel of the Dead 16

What Haruto thought was going to be a few hours of uninterrupted sleep automatically turned into a rude awakening as an hour after he faded from his mindscape, he was woken up. His eyes cracked open lazily to see Saya shaking him furiously. He looked at her in a sleepy daze. "Waz goin on?" Saya had a look of seriousness and the tone to match. "We have to hurry up! Takashi left to go save a little girl from them but now he needs our help! Saeko-san, Rei-san, Shizuka-chan and Kohta are all ready to go! We are waiting on you!"

Haruto was up in an instant as he heard the information from Saya. He had his boots on and tied in seconds as he spoke like a man possessed. "Hurry up and go help him now! I'll catch up when I'm ready!" Saya nodded and she ran downstairs to join the others at the Humvee. Haruto heard her go down the metal stairs and continued to get ready. As he readied himself, he heard the roar of something and was immediately put on guard until he heard the noise fade off into the distance. When he had everything on and he had Shukketsu Souru strapped to his side, he turned to the bed… and fell face first onto its cushiony goodness.

He was on his knees as he was bent over rubbing his face in the plushy mattress with a stupid smile on his face. Oh man… why couldn't I sleep for a little longer? As he kept rubbing his head in the mattress, he heard Alter speak. "You know… you being bent over a bed like this… it isn't very good for your already tarnished reputation for being straight." Haruto shot up to his feet and began to look around suspiciously. What are you talking about?

Alter spoke as he walked out onto the balcony to look over what was going on with the others if they were still in sight. Luckily for him they were and he saw them plowing through the infected without remorse in some huge monster. "Some people back in Konoha thought that you were kind of gay for that Uchiha kid. They figured that since that's what you were obsessed with, that you wanted his love rod inside of you and you wanted to scream his name into the night while he plowed you for hours until he came all over your face and you sucked up his juices!" 

Haruto felt like the entire world went into silence as he got an awkward look on his face. What the… why would everyone… wait a minute… how the fuck would you know what everyone else was thinking? Haruto got a hard face as he heard Alter start to stutter and fumble his words. "Well… uh… heheh… you see… I ca—Oh Look! A Flying Zombie!" 

Haruto scoffed as he looked up to the sky. What the fuck are you ta— "OH HOLY SHIT A FLYING ZOMBIE!" Haruto jumped over the edge as one of the infected barreled into the balcony, decimating it. Haruto looked back to the crumbling balcony as he saw the creature fall. It looked oddly like the one that he had catapulted off of at the bridge and sent through the concrete. He felt a little stupid when he saw it. "Hey… the fucker had to come down sometime and somewhere!" 

Haruto shook his head as he stood. He realized that even though it was nighttime, the infected were barely around him. While there were some, most of them were drawn to the boisterous noise that the monster they had driven made. He was about to start his run towards them until he heard a roar come from behind him… one that was nothing like the roar of the vehicle that they had taken. He looked down and could only see pieces of the things shadowed in the moonlight. He turned slowly and had to look up to get a good look at the thing.

The thing, for lack of a better word, was a behemoth! It stood at about ten feet tall and had the same gray skin that the other infected ones had. It was immensely ripped as Haruto could tell that it had biceps larger than two times the size of his head. His torso had massive chunks ripped out of it and Haruto also saw that its head looked to be the size of a normal human's head causing the weird to look even weirder. The only thing that it wore was a pair of really, really tight jeans that seemed to be under great stress from the thing's leg muscles and it also had huge feet. Haruto could only stare at it in a dazed sort of awe.

He looked down at the size of the thing's feet and then lifted his own foot to look at the bottom of his boots. He lowered his foot and tried to look over its chest to its head. "I'm a size eleven, bro. What are you?" The thing grunted and Haruto took it as a weird sort of answer since it did not attack. He continued to look at its feet and he spoke. "Heheh… you know what they say about a guy with big feet right? Hahahaha!"

While Haruto laughed at his own joke, he failed to see the thing rear back and send a kick his way. He was hit and sent flying in a B-line for the group.

Things were going good even though they weren't going exactly as planned. Kohta was doing a good job of keeping the infected off of the group with his newly acquired guns and Saeko was down chopping the things to pieces where Kohta couldn't focus on from the Humvee. Takashi was nearing them with the girl and her dog while Shizuka, Rei and Saya were inside the Humvee.

Kohta was getting into the killing until he heard a noise… a slight buzzing in his ear. He looked down and around as he spoke. "Hey, does anyone else hear that?" For some odd reason, even the infected horde had stopped their grunts and the group began to hear the noise he was talking about. They were finally able to figure out where it was coming from and looked down to where the apartment was.

They all saw the same line of smoke coming from where they had stayed for the night and they all began to make out what the buzzing noise was. "hhhhhhooooooLLLLLLYYYYYY SSSSSSHHHHHHiiiiiitttttt!" Haruto went shooting past them at a speed that shook the Humvee and sent some of the infected flying. Saya just looked at him in confusion through the backseats window. "Is he flying now?"

Everyone seemed to nod at this until they felt the road begin to quake beneath them. Kohta was about ready to freak out when he saw the cause of it. Down the street from where Haruto had just come was a huge creature unlike any of the others that seemed to be chasing after him. It still caused him to freak out, though, as the behemoth ran past them and nearly flipped the Humvee. Everyone could only watch with wide eyes as it continued its chase for Haruto.

Haruto was in some serious pain at the moment and to top it off, he was sailing through the air. When finished cursing his pain away, he tried to think of a way to stop his flight. He looked towards where he was flying and saw something very convenient. "That ought to work!" Haruto held out his hand and caught the door of a stationary car… only to rip it off as he flew past it.

He groaned as he tossed it away, decapitating an unlucky little group of infected that he passed on his flight. He tried to look for something else but he was quickly stopped when he smashed into the side of a building and made the wall collapse. He tried to push the rocks off from on top of him and found that they were surprisingly light for being made out of concrete. As he pushed the last piece off with a grunt he cracked open his eyes and looked up.

There, once more, stood the behemoth as it threw the huge slab of concrete to the side. Haruto's jaw dropped and he was quickly up on his feet. "What The Hell Was That For!" The thing grunted again and reared back for another kick until Haruto jumped into the air and charged chakra into his own foot. "Oh Hell No!" He smashed his foot into the monster's chest and, surprising even Haruto, the thing took off like a missile down the street. Haruto landed and looked down after it. His eyes widened as he looked down to his boot and then down to the smoke stream the mammoth creature left behind.

He charged chakra into his legs as a dark smirk crept to his face. He then took off after the thing as he laughed like a madman.
