On the night before everything went to hell, I couldn't sleep.
"Forever and always...", I let my thoughts take over my mind, the memories of us pouring into my brain. I sit facing out a side window in the school, "Where did I go wrong..."
"Ugh, what're you doing? We're not even halfway through the school year, and you're already skipping class? Celestia, you're so stupid... how do you expect get anywhere if all you do is mope?", Trixie's voice cut into my ears, making me turn around.
"You're one to talk, look who else isn't in class. Don't you have honour's classes or something to worry about?", I gave the mare before me a cold stare.
"I can skip because I'm a genius, of course! Unlike you, who got to where you are by dumb luck.", her arrogance never phased me, seeing as how she's had that personality since kindergarden.
"Trixie... why are you always so mean to me?", I ask in a monotone voice.
"Gah, moping because your little girlfriend dumped you? Geez, you're pathetic and stupid. And I'm mean to everyone , because everyone is stupid... I mean at least you know you're stupid, maybe if I tell you that you are, then maybe by some miracle you'll become less stupid, stupid.", Trixie continued her rant, losing me after reminding me I had been dumped.
I turn around to face the front of the school again, only this time to find three teachers out by the gate, talking to some strange stallion.
"Sir, please vacate the premises.", Ms. Carrot Top demanded in a soft, but authoritative voice.
Mr. Bell, our P.E teacher, was the next to speak up. In a rough voice, he put his arm through the gate, and pulled the stallion in close, "What part of get lost don't you understand?"
"Mr. Bell, violence isn't necessary!"
"Stand back, Carrot. I got this. Listen asshole ge-", in a flash, the strange stallion bit into Mr. Bell, causing him to loosen his grip and fall backwards.
"Oh my gosh! Mr. Bell, are you alright?", Ms. Carrot dropped to her knees and started shaking the bulky stallion. He awoke, but it's different... he's more lethargic, less...determined. "Thank Celestia! Are you alright? We need to get you pat-", as if something spurred him on, he darted up, and bit Ms. Carrot in the neck.
"Holy shit..." My eyes grew wide, and I started a sprint for Vinyl's classroom. I burst into the room, causing everypony to stare at me, including our teacher, Mr. Doc.
"Ugh, Amp, you couldn't have just skipped the whole class?"
I ignored him, and walked over to Vinyl's desk, "Come with me." I demand, as I took hold of her arm.
"What the hell? No, I'm not going anywhere with y-", an audible pop echoed through the room, and before I realized it, I had slapped her across the face.
"Listen to me, two teachers just got killed at the front gate."
Thunderlane cut in, "What're you talking about, man?"
"Don't know, some guy just came to the front gate, bit Mr. Bell... he's down there biting others. Quick, we have to go!", As soon as I finished, an announcement came over the intercom.
"We've had an incident at the front gate, student's follow your teachers directions and quickly exit the buildingggahhhhh! Get out of here! No, No!!!", it seemed as if the whole planet went silent.
We ran through the building, stopping at a nearby supply closet. Cloud Chaser broke a mop, and handed it to Vinyl, and then tossed a baseball bat at me. I had enough time to notice he didn't grab a weapon for himself, "Hey, isn't there anything else for you to use?"
He only smirked at the question, "There are some things in there I could use, but I'm much better in hand to hand combat."
Elsewhere in the school
"Wait up, Trixie!", Spike exclaimed as he gasped for breath.
"Ugh, of all beings, why did I have to pick the runt.", Trixie rolled her eyes as she took cover behind a row of lockers.
"What're you do-", Spike was silenced by Trixie, who was just staring at the living dead.
"Quiet, you idiot! How do you expect me to study them if you keep on babbling!", she picked up a wet rag, and threw it at the zombie who lay dead ahead of her, "Look, it doesn't respond to touch... the big idiots. They most likely can't see either, or else they wouldn't walk into walls."
"So, what does that mean?" Spike inquired.
"OH CELESTIA, DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO YOU?", Trixie yelled at the top of her lungs. "Oh no..."
The two started bolting away, chased by a mob of dead ponies. They took shelter in the shop room, Trixie looking around and spotting a nail gun. She held it up, "Here, at least you've used one of these before."
"Hmm, a nail gun...an old one at that! It's a gas type, so transporting it should be no problem...", Spike hefted the tool up and down, testing its weight. "Hey, grab that drill and those spare nails and put them in a bag or something."
"And what makes you think you can boss me around? You're below me!"
A sinister grin had appeared on Spike's face, and he turned around to look Trixie in the eyes, "Pretty please with a diamond on top?"
"Fine...", Trixie busily packed a duffel bag, and laid it before Spike, "Here, you're welcome."
"Trixie...don't freak, but they're behind you...", Spike cowered a bit, before leveling the nail gun, and aiming at the closest zombies head.
I was about to scold you for a blatant ripoff of an anime story, but then I read the author notes.
Typically if you are doing a crossover story, it's best to say so in the story's description. Leaving a "Guess what this story is" note in the Author's Note seems a bit... Well I don't know what to call it. It's just not right.
I really suggest editing the story's description to include this, or you'll probably throw a lot of people off.
Otherwise, decent job. High School of the Dead is one of my more favorite mature anime/manga titles. Don't screw it up
2469093 I'll get to it eventually. Give it a day or two, I want to see how much hate I can generate off of this story (it's a nice change of pace from my generally positive reviews). Anyway, I hope to not ruin it, as I fucking love it as well. Still waiting for season two of the anime, and next volume of manga. As for the guess what, I more or less wanted to see if people saw the character crossovers thus far. I.E. Trixie as Takagi.
Narrator: Takashi
Spike: Kohta
Trixie: Saya
Cloud Chaser: Hisashi
Vinyl: Rei
Cherilee: Shizuka
Anime: Highschool of the Dead
Can peewee be zeke and isn't cloud chaser a mare?
2469283 You sir, are quite correct. I'm changing Cloud Chaser to Thunderlane(Originally meant Thunderlane)...Maybe Soarin'...nah Thunderlane is good. Easy to kill off, no questions asked. Anyway congrats on figuring it out! Oh and if you're wondering about Saeko...let's just say that's a surprise for next chapter.
HOTD crossover with everyone tag? I'm not quite sure what to say about that...
2469572 thanks for the pointer, I need to change that to at least teen.
Hmmmm saeko should be interesting. Dr. Whooves? Maybe Big Mac? Nooo.... I can see Big Mac as sayas father. Hmmm... This'll keep me up at night.
you're damn right spike is kohta
2470023 You'll see...
2471610 This comment has made my day.
All I really want to see is more of Spike and Trixie doing stuff together.
Spike as Kohta? This is very pleasing Needs to be a bit more descriptive :3 But I love it first HOTD crossover with MLP I have seen
2492684 Yeah, I've been sitting on this idea for a while, just never been able to get it out. Other crossovers that I want to see/write are Soul Eater and Angel Beats!...Maybe Love Hina or KissxSis(not really sure on KissxSis, since it's ero). And next chapter, just for you, will be more descriptive. Also why do people like seeing Spike as Kohta >.< Originally he was going to be Takashi, no idea why people aren't pissed over that. Oh well, glad you enjoyed it!
2475650 Not saying that stuff won't happen...but it might be a chapter or two. I mean, I'm trying to stick with the manga's storyline/events as I possibly can. It's a bit dicey with the guns and electronics, but this is an anthro, so I'm not pressed. Glad you enjoyed it though!
2492765 I kind of thought Spike would have been Takashi but Spike as Kohta works too A Soul Eater crossover would definitely be a interesting one. Angel Beats would be depressing but would be interesting as well haha wouldn't mind seem those :3 so other interesting crossovers I think would be good are Full Metal Alchemist, Hellsing, Trinity Blood, hell even Naruto if someone can actually pull that one off Your story is very enjoyable so far I am very curious on how far this will go since the manga of it stopped so suddenly and there no being a season 2
2493192 Yeahh, thanks for the encouragment . And I'm unsure how far the manga got (just read chapter 30 today, got a manga app on my ipod), so yeah. I'd like to do a FMA crossover, but I'm pretty sure someone has beaten me to the punch there, seeing as how it's WAY more popular than HOTD. As for Naruto, I can see that happening, as well as with Hellsing... An interesting manga I just started reading is Change 123, which would never be crossed over. And again, Love Hina (fudging love Akamatsu!) and KissxSis are on possible maybes. Love Hina especially, seeing how there are PLENTY of characters in MLP to do a crossover (and yes, Spike will probably be Urishima Keitaro).
