《Multiverse Leaper [Dropped]》 Prologue The Doctors I am a amateur writer barely starting to write their first few fictions. Comment and criticize please. "Speak" *Thought* ************************************************************************************** A Caucasian woman walks down the white, pristine hallway. Her black heels taps the floor with every step, making a sound that echoes throughout the halls. She wore a long lab coat that reached a few inches below her waist. A black skirt reached two inches below her knee and underneath her lab coat was a black shirt. On her right hand, she had a watch. A digital clock face was shown on the watch. On her left wrist was a blue band, this is what lets her roam freely in the facility. This band was her identification tag, her access key to the different levels in the facility, and displayed her level of authority. In her right arm was a holographic clipboard colored aquamarine. It displayed confidential data that many would kill to get their hands on. She walked in the lowest level in the facility, the fifth level. She kept walking until she reached a door, this was the director''s office. To the left of the door was a blue panel. She waved her wrist band over and the door slid open. She stepped in as the door closed itself behind her. Inside, she found a person with brown hair with their head down on the blue metal desk sleeping. He had the same lab coat as she did along with brown khakis. "Sir?" she asked. No response came. "Sir?!" she said agitated. She gave a brief sigh. With a tap, her holographic clipboard disappeared. She then walked up to the desk where the person laid their head. She hesitated but then whacked him as hard as she can on the head. The person was thrown back, falling out of their chair and behind the desk. "Ow~" "Dr. Lumen, you are not allowed to doze off on the day of the final testing." Dr. Aurora Lumen was the director of this facility. He had the appearance of an adolescent but his real age is unknown. His build was average and he stood at a height of 5'' 7" while Dr. Ashley was 5'' 8". He rubbed his head as he got back into his seat. He looked up at the woman with his dark violet eyes. He was not angry but was seemingly relieved. "Oh! It''s just you Dr. Ashley! I was wondering who in the facility had brute-like strength but the voice of a woman. I only realize now that it can only be you." Dr. Ashley gave out a murderous intent as Dr. Lumen dusts himself off and gave a smile. *I still cannot fathom the fact that this person is the greatest mind in the universe*, was her thought. "So, since you''re here, I take it that the final test is about to take place?" Dr. Ashley was Dr. Lumen''s assistant. She got the job a year ago and she still cannot believe that this person was the greatest mind to ever live. His full name was Aurora Lumen. She did some background research and all she found were articles of his achievements. She could list them all but that would take too long. The occasional story of eradicating a disease or virus, creating a serum that elongates a person''s life for a few thousand years, creating a new and replenishable energy source, basically any kind of inspiring and amazing achievements that one can think of. To help the Inter-galactic Federation fight some newly discovered alien empire, he created a weapon capable of wiping out a half a galaxy which he supposedly destroyed all documents and research of after the war. Mostly, his creations were made to help others and to advance technology. Some darker creations, well you can ponder about that. Dr. Lumen got out of his seat and put an arm around Dr. Ashley''s neck. "Let''s start the final tests shall we?" Dr. Ashley felt hot and uncomfortable. She looked at his eyes as he looked at her. After spending a year with Dr. Lumen, she was still unable to read him or his expression. Right now, she can see a hint of nervousness reflecting in his eyes. *What could be going on under those calculating eyes?* "So are we heading out now?" he asked, "I still get lost in this facility by the way." Dr. Ashley was very tempted to punch him in the face while he was grinning. "Of course Dr. Lumen." "Just call me Aurora, why do you need to keep switching to Dr. Lumen anyways?" "Alright Dr. Aurora." The sound of his first name made Dr. Ashley feel tingly "Well that''s an improvement at least." ************************************************************************************** The facility was underground, the first floor was on the surface and the second to fifth went underground. The fifth floor was the deepest underground. The facility was on a small rocky planet revolving around a blue star. The planet was like Earth''s moon. Its surface was sandy and grainy, appearing gray in color. As the two made their way, a security guard walked around on the first floor accompanied by a hovering spherical security drone. "Why does this place need security? No one but the top guys in the government know about thi-" As if he made his own death flag, an explosion rocked the first floor and the power went out. The security guard tumbled around before getting his bearings. He was in an empty hallway. It was pitch black but thanks to his augmented eyes, he had night vision. He whipped out a laser pistol and moved along with his drone by his side. "What do you think just happened?" he asked his drone. The drone kept silent. "Of course you can''t talk, you have no speech features." The place was unnervingly silent, the director sent mostly everyone, except those directly involved with the test today, on vacation. Soon, he reached the corner. He slowly made a right turn to continue down the corridor. The last thing he saw was the butt of a rifle coming towards his face. ************************************************************************************** The lower levels weren''t affected by the power outage yet. The ones on the fifth level weren''t even alerted. Most guards were on vacation and drones covered for them. Scanners, cameras, and most drones were taken offline. Dr. Ashley and Dr. Aurora made their way to the testing chamber. The met two large and sturdy steel blast doors. That is not the testing chamber by the way. Instead, those are actually the doors to the elevator. While constructing the facility, Aurora gave his blueprints to the lead architect and he only asks why must the elevator to the testing chamber be covered with blast doors. "I need time", was his response. Without further ado, Dr. Aurora waved his identification band over the blast door''s panel. Loud whirring followed after and the twin doors open. "I still don''t quite understand why you would like to carry out the experiment yourself when there is a very huge risk to your well-being involved." "Our well-being to be precise", he responded. They stepped into the elevator and headed down. A small team of observers and researchers watched the testing chamber through a camera on the fifth floor to note results. "Today''s the day!" one researcher said. "Why is it that most of the people are on leave today? Were they not informed that today is the big day when the last experiment is carried out?" The doors to the spectator''s room blasted open, injuring two standing near the door as five people in full black military gear barged in with guns raised. "Capture the VIPs, kill the rest." This black ops units killed most of the observers who were high-standing personnel but not scientists. A few researchers stood standing as they were tackled and tied up. One of the people in all black military gear walked up to the live feed of the testing chamber. One panel displayed Dr. Aurora and Dr. Ashley in the elevator. Another person came up and gave a salute. "The blast doors are making the capture of Doctor Aurora Lumen a pain", the low-ranking solder said. "Securing him is our priority. Don''t worry, he can''t escape, we aren''t exactly solo here. Cut the power to the elevator." Meanwhile, Dr. Ashley and Aurora stood in the center of the elevator. Dr. Ashley was still annoyed at how Aurora acted so carefree still as he whistled an elevator tune. Suddenly, the lights went out and the elevator came to a halt. "A malfunction? I never heard of it happening in a facility this high tech." Dr. Ashley only pondered as Aurora knew what was happening all too well. "Tch! They even got my hidden power generator. They must have been well prepared and informed." "What?" was all Dr. Ashley could ask as Aurora knelt down and activated the glow function of his identification band. His band glowed green and exhibited light for the entire elevator as he patted the elevator''s floor. His hand grasped a gray panel and lifted up a loose tile on the floor. "Here it is!" He grabbed a lever and pulled. The elevator''s doors slid open and revealed a pitch dark elevator shaft. While designing the facility, Aurora made sure that the elevator had about a two feet gap from the doors to the walls of the shaft. Aurora peered down and saw bottom of the shaft illuminated by emergency lights about a hundred feet down. Still standing near the now open elevator doors, Aurora turned to Dr. Ashley. "Dr. Ashley, take my hand!" he demanded. "What''s with the demanding attitude? Shouldn''t we wait for the elevator to restart or to call for help?" "I''ll explain later!" "Is this another one of your schemes? I could handle your carefree attitude, your flirting, and insults but I am not taking part in your schemes." Aurora rolled his eyes. *My acting was better than I thought. Now''s not the time to stand around. I didn''t think I''d resort to this.* Aurora sighed and raised his right hand. "I hold nude holo-pics of you in this disk", he said nonchalantly while waving around a holographic disk four inches in diameter." Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site. "You what?!" She jumped over there to grab the disk as Aurora grabbed her wrist and plunges the two of them down the shaft. "EEEEEEEEIP!" Dr. Ashley shrieked. Aurora grabbed onto a cable on the wall of the elevator shaft, slowing their descent. Reaching the bottom, his hand was burning and his arm nearly dislocated but none of those alarmed him as he only sought to run from the rampaging Dr. Ashley. He ran into the testing chamber, a sleek, white chamber walled in on four sides with a pedestal holding a device glowing neon blue. He puts the device on around his left wrist over his identification band as Dr. Ashley came in after. "Disk! Now!!!" Surely this must be an act just as that one thought Aurora had earlier right? Well . . . Aurora handed (was forced to give) Dr. Ashley the holo-disk peacefully (after getting pummeled). She immediately put the disk into her holo-clipboard. It could project images and videos and she was cherry red at what she saw. "Why do you have these!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Aurora checked for bruising as he faced Dr. Ashley who evolved from a mad woman to a furious and a bit insane in the eye woman. "You see, while you were on one of your weekly drinking excursions, you started sending me these holo-pictures six months ago." "Why?" She then tapped onto a video that piqued her curiosity that was saved on the disk. She saw Aurora in his office with a serious demeanor. "Today I have received a frightening picture. A nude picture of my assistant named Dr. Ashley, code-named Monster Woman." *I was still in my act at the time wasn''t I?* Aurora thought. He felt a death glare as the holo-vid continued. "This code-name is befitting for a woman with unnatural strength and aggressiveness. Without further ado, I have decided from this point onward to record a monthly observation on the subject named "Doctor Jennifer Ashley". I fear my life will end if she ever manages to get her hands on this disk." *I''m still fearing for my life right now.* "Looking back when Dr. Ashley first started working, I noticed no feeling harbored towards me besides annoyance, frustration, hate, and anger. Three months in when she first started working, I noticed her aggressive and animal-like behavior lessen towards me. At first I thought she would gut me the second I let my guard down, but something far worse than I imagined happened . . ." Aurora in the holo-vid got out a security recording on his office. He was asleep in the office as he played the recording caught by the camera in his office. "I accidentally fell asleep as Dr. Ashley came into my office to hand me some tea. I fell asleep and being asleep near such a monstrous creature is never good. I expect getting mauled . . . or at least getting hot tea poured onto my head but she gave a gentle smile. She patted my head while still smiling. A devilish smile, no way can it be a true smile." A huge killing intent emanated from Dr. Ashley. "But her face was red as she quickly gave me a slap, waking me up. I deduced that this was actually the sign of a crush on me." Dr. Ashley can only respond with a "Huh?" as the holo-vid continued. "It was when six months in had passed, around today, was when I received this horrifying picture." A heavily pixelated nude picture was shown with Dr. Ashley''s eye''s covered by a black bar. "I conclude that about now, Dr. Ashley is harboring feelings of love, a terrifying love, and conveying it in a horrid fashion. I''ll put all pics sent by her into this disk. Anyways, I intently scanned the pictures-" A punch nearly knocked out Aurora after the holo-vid version of him confessing that he looked at the pictures bottom to top. "She was drunk and this is probably the reason why she would send these pictures. I doubt she can remember sending these next morning. My detailed report is in my office along with copies of the pictures." Dr. Ashley was about to go back out to the elevator shaft before Aurora stopped her. "Wait!" "Don''t touch me!" The doors to the testing chamber was, in theory, unable to be breached. "Dr. Jennifer Ashley, I order you to halt!" Aurora was yelling at this point as tears streamed down Dr. Ashley''s cheek. "I can''t believe you would actually toy with my feelings like that!" she yelled. "I''m sorry-that was all an act, I swear." "Sorry? An act?! I had these feelings but you just put them all to the side! Making these constant sick jokes not caring for my feelings! " "Ashley I can explain! There are special operatives outside that door. Don''t open it or you risk both of our lives!" A still silence stood between them. Suddenly, Dr. Ashley''s watch resounded in the chamber. "Doctor Jennifer Ashley, open the door from the inside, we''ll handle the rest." "Ashley . . . . . . you were an agent?" She started sniffling before wiping her tears away with the sleeve of her lab coat. "I''m sorry doctor. I was an agent the entire time. I was only so aggressive towards you because that was I took biometric scans of you to give to the operatives. Your biometric scans is a free pass into the facility without raising an alarm. The drones believe that the operatives were just you when they had all details about your biometric scan. The entire year consisted of me trying to replicate your identification band, that''s how the operatives were so quick to get in and control the facility." Aurora slumped down slowly with his back to the pedestal. "Oh dear, I''ve been played by an undercover agent even though I put on a fake act in order to find undercover agents myself! Psychology can''t help me find the most professional agents can I?" "Yep! Number one agent on the field", Dr. Ashley said. She chuckled as she lingered towards the panel to the doors. She turned around with a single tear down her cheek, looking Aurora straight in the eye. "I actually did fall for you." She waved her identification band over the panel as the doors slowly slid open. The special operatives circled Aurora as the team leader faced Aurora. "Doctor Aurora Lumen, you''re coming with us", the leader of the special operatives said. "Oh, what for? Are you here to help with the experiment?" "No, our bosses have great interest in you and decided to bring you in. If you come along nicely our bosses can get you anything you want if you give them some of your inventions." "Ah, okay, um, I can''t. You see, the Inter-galactic Federation is kind of my employer and regulates all of my inventions so this is a huge breach in contract", Aurora said. The special operatives leader stepped over to Ashley. "Is there a trap or any such things Doctor Aurora may have planned." Dr. Ashley only saw Aurora tapping furiously onto his left wrist behind his back as he sat with his back to the pedestal. "I think it may be to late to nab him", she said. "Why exactly? He''s right there." "Before I have to get going, Ashley, I forgive you for deceiving me, I have deceived you too with my act. I sincerely apologize with the bottom of my heart." Ashley gave him a smile. "I''ll forgive you if you forget every picture I sent you and if you get me a drink." "Haha! The amount of times you asked me to get you another drink! You know how heavy you were when I carried you from the bar on the first level to the residency in the fourth level?!" "What?" "You did send me those pics but also sent a message to help you get to your room. You know it was quite awkward when I have to dress you up in the bar. Luckily you reserved a table inside a private room each time. The amount of times I''ve seen your figure is quite interesting, to horrid to recount." "Wha-! Hey!!!!!" She was bright red as some special operatives tugged their collars and some did the wolf whistle. A loud beep resounded in the testing chamber. A low whir and a blue light started up behind Aurora''s back. Ashley should be tackling Aurora right now but she can only smile. "Was the test a success Doctor Lumen?" Dr. Ashley asked. "Yes Doctor Ashley, it was a success." A blue light engulfed Aurora''s body, blinding those staring. Everyone looked away and a few moments later, the light was gone along with Aurora. "Wha- What was that right now? What were you testing? Researching?" the leader of the special operatives demanded to know as he grabbed Ashley''s lab coat as she smiled. "That was Dr. Lumen''s new device. We were researching the possibility of a multiverse. We can conclude that the multiverse theory is true. His device allows people to jump from one universe to another. He''s long gone by now and it took an entire ten years for Doctor Lumen to create that device. I know because I asked. Five of those years actually had a team working on the device, the other five was just Doctor Lumen all by himself. We have no clue where his research during those five years are so unless he chooses to find a way back, we can never hope to find him." "Tch! You''re lucky that you''re our best undercover agent because I would beat you into submission." The special operatives leader let go of her lab coat as all the agents left one by one. Ashley was the last one in the room. She turned around, prepared to leave, but then heard a faint beeping underneath the pedestal. "So that idiot prepared a method to return to his own world I guess. I never thought that one of the times I whacked his sorry head was a time where I saw his plans for the beacon. Well there is an infinite number of worlds out there, you''ve got to keep track of how you can catalog the worlds and how you can get back to a world." She left with a smile as the beeping continued in a monotone pace, on and on and on and on. Chapter 1 The Reanimation Virus Just an amateur writer barely posting their first few fictions. When there is a limitless number of worlds, what could happen next? Well you probably figured it out with the chapter name but if you didn''t, I''ll tell you what''s going to happen in the next few chapters. The undead, lots of undead. We won''t be directly following Aurora I''ll leave whatever is going to happen next to your imagination. We''ll go to futuristic stuff later after this portion of the story. "Dialogue" *Thought* Even if you don''t like this chapter, comment and criticize please. ********************************************************************************************** A half-Asian/half-Caucasian woman ran down the countryside road. She had short hair that barely past her neck. The pavement was filled with cracks and holes. A few cars were left on the road, stripped of all machinery and components. A forest lay on each side of the road. The woman wore torn jeans, a discolored black and white jersey, a jacket over that jersey, and a pair of worn-out sneakers. On her back was a black backpack and she carried a 9 mm pistol in her right hand. It was dusk time, the horizon was colored crimson red. The woman was drenched in sweat and covered in dirt. Her jersey was splattered with blood. She got behind a car and sat down. Unzipping her backpack, she took out a canteen and drank a few sips of water. Not long after, she heard faint footsteps approaching her place. She placed her backpack and canteen to her left. Both of her hands were on her gun. The footsteps got louder and louder, making her heart beat faster. Taking no chance, she stood up with her pistol aimed. Her gun''s barrel pointed right between the eyes of a Latino man. "Carlos?" she asked. "Lucy?" Her shoulders slumped as she sighed a breath of relief. Carlos was a brown-skinned man. He was older than Lucy, being about forty, and stood at the height of 5'' 10". Lucy was three inches smaller. He had a thick, brown leather jacket, a long-sleeved brown shirt, a pair of brown boots, jeans that weren''t as ripped like the ones Lucy had, and a leather belt. He had a blue backpack larger than the one Lucy had and a machete sheathed in his left hand. "You''re lucky I didn''t accidentally kill you right now", he spoke with a Spanish accent. "Well then, that makes us both lucky then." Lucy grimaced. "No one else with you?" she asked. "I''m afraid that we are the only one''s that made it out of camp. I saw Bob, Jimmy, and Mary get eaten. Joseph was eaten while he was napping and Sally was mauled by ten of them." Lucy would be crying if this happened earlier in the outbreak but her eyes are cold and her heart is frozen. The grotesque sights of her parents and brother being eaten alive steeled her heart. "Let''s get going, we shouldn''t be out at night." "Alright se?ora." As they started walking, Lucy couldn''t help but notice a crowd of limping figures appearing out of the forest and following behind them on the road. "Carlos, get in the car now!" she yelled silently. Carlos turned around before being forcefully pushed into a red car stripped of it''s tires, engine, and wiring. The seats were taken out and the two were forced to lay down on the metal floor of the car. Carlos was on the bottom and Lucy was on top. "Shh. You aren''t bleeding or anything right?" Carlos shook his head. Lucy had her mouth over Carlos''s mouth as two figures were close to the car sniffing the air. No scent of blood reached their noses but they got closer to the car itself, peeking into the car itself. The glass panes were gone and nothing stopped the figures from ravaging the two right now except for the fact that the figures were blind. Lucy could see the jaw of the figure dislocated. This person was a man once. He was only in his underwear when he turned. Probably one of the first since most hair had fallen out, maggots infested one of his eye sockets, his skin was pale green, his tooth blackened with cavities, his gums rotten brown, and bones sticking out on his right arm. The other figure was one that Lucy can recognize. *Bob . . .* Bob was a nice but quiet man. He was very helpful in the group. He supported Lucy whenever he can. He was the person who kept giving hope to everyone, telling us that we will make it through. There was no leader in the group but Bob acted just like one. Now Bob had half his face torn off, his right eye was gone and fresh blood streamed down his body from his face. His brain was visible from his right eye socket. His nose was missing, half of his body was eaten, his intestines nearly fell out on the right side of his body and his rib cage was shown. He was infected, reanimated by the virus. The Reanimation Virus was what the government called it. It all started two years, Lucy was just a freshman in college. When the virus hit her city she had to sacrifice everything to survive. All her friends didn''t make it, her family neither. The horrors she had seen in that city with the population of five million, she still gets haunted by those nightmares. In those nightmares, she could only see her friends and family tearing her apart. Ripping out her right arm, eating all the flesh off of her left leg, that wasn''t the worse part. Her would be torn open, her intestines ripped out, chewed and eaten. Her stomach would follow at the end of her intestines. She can still recall the bloody pink color of her intestines. She could see her rib cage, the whites of her bones, being painfully broken off from her skeleton as blood squirted onto the faces of her half-eaten friends and family. She couldn''t breath as her lungs were taken out, her heart was still pulsating as it was pulled out of her body. The horror you could see on her face as her brother drank the blood from her heart to only then proceed eating her heart bite by bite. The mouths of her deceased friends and family moved. "Why did you live while we died?" was what they said. Her nightmares only haunted her but now she can add the faces of Bob, Jimmy, Mary, Sally, and Joseph, her now recently deceased companions. She can already hear their wails. (A/N I guess I should probably put a mature tag.) Luckily, the two past on. Dozens of the same rotting corpses limped forward, perhaps a hundred or two. Lucy''s heart paced itself as she remained still. Nearly two hours past by as the last of the limping figures was gone from sight. Lucy removed her hand from Carlos''s mouth as he grinned. "I never expected you to be on top se?ora." "Shut up before I punch you." "Aye, I was just kidding. I''m getting old but I still can make these jokes can I?" He chuckled as Lucy got out of the car. "They''re getting riled up, I wonder why?" The sky was dark and the car wasn''t the best choice to rest in. "So know of a place where we can stay for the night?" "Well I do remember that there was a farm somewhere around here. There was a barn. It''s in very good condition considering that two years have past when all this happened. That place should be safe when we clear it." Lucy nodded as she let Carlos take the lead. They moved down the countryside road, slowly following the horde that past them. Soon, the two moved onto a different road, a dirt road this time. After thirty minutes, they reached the end of the forest and into a field. The field was a plot of land used for agriculture, now only weeds, grass, and other vegetation grew on the field. Far in the distance was a farmhouse. It was charred, burnt down months ago. The barn was behind the farmhouse. It was dark. Fall was ending and winter was coming. Lucy can see her breath in the air. This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. "I left all of my warm cloths at the camp, damn it!" she exclaimed. Carlos took off his leather jacket and put it on Lucy. "Take my coat, I wouldn''t be a man if I let a lady freeze would I?" Lucy thanked him as they neared farmhouse. Inside the farmhouse, the two could only find freshly killed zombie in the burnt down farmhouse. The freshly killed zombies had gaping holes on their bodies which were quite odd. The holes were cleanly cut. "Looks like someone was just here", Lucy can only explain. She took out her sidearm, checking the number of bullets left in her clip. "I only got five bullets left, you still got your gun?" "I ran out of bullets when I was fighting for my life, but I still got my handy machete!" Carlos unsheathed his machete as they went around the farmhouse. A spectacle met them. A neon blue light shone on the right side of the barn. Their eyes were so adjusted to the dark that they weren''t able to see the figure well. "Aliens?" Carlos said half-jokingly. "Who''s there?" Lucy yelled but the light moved around in its place before making it around the barn. "Wha- Follow it Carlos!" "I''m to old to be running around so much!" The two made their way around the barn to its entrance. The two saw the light enter the barn. The two followed but when they tried opening the doors, the doors didn''t budge. "The person locked us out!" "It still could be an alien!" "You''re too old, you''re getting delusional." Carlos only laughed. *It must have been a glow stick or something*, was what Lucy thought. "So how do we get in?" Carlos asked. Lucy peeked into the gap and saw the blue light at the back of the barn. "The door is made of wood", she looked around and with a stroke of luck, she found an ax on a pile of hay, partially corroded from blood but still good enough. "Carlos, you''re strong right? Break the door down with this ax", she said handing the ax over to him. "Treating the adults like this, I have to worry about how the world will turn out after this." She stood around as Carlos whacked the door repetitively. At the forest line that surrounded the farmland, Lucy couldn''t help but swear she saw figures moving. They were a bit far away but they were closing in, a large number of figures. "Carlos, you still have your flashlight? If so, give it to me." "Alright", he set down the ax as she unzips his backpack, "It''s running on my last batteries so don''t use it for so long." "I just want to scan the tree line." "That''s dangerous, you can attract the infected!" "I think that blue light already attracted that horde from earlier." The flashlight switched on. It was quite powerful and lit up the forest line. Lucy didn''t like what she saw. "Oh dear . . ." The tree line was half a mile across and was a bit far from the barn, but the number of infected already reached a hundred and still rising. "Carlos, would you hurry up?!" Lucy held her gun up and turned off the flashlight to conserve its batteries. "Almost through!" On what was supposed to be the last swing, the ax cut through the wooden door but a loud clang reverberated on the swing. Carlos picked away at the wood to find the door had steel at the opposite end. "Lucy! The door has steel on the other end!" She couldn''t help but grit her teeth angrily. *I shouldn''t be surprised considering how this barn was in pristine condition.* "If the doors won''t work than hit the wall beside it! The walls of the barn is still made of wood!" Carlos started swinging but time and time again, he hit steel. Lucy got out her knife from her backpack. For first reanimated corpse that got close, Lucy decided to use her knife first until things get hectic. Five of the infected closed in. "It was nice knowing you se?ora but there must be steel surrounding the inside of the barn." Lucy discharged one round into the head of another undead corpse while slowly stepping back. "Well at least go down fighting!" Carlos was just sitting down with his back on the right barn door. He was exhausted and looking just a bit pale. "How about we just knock?" "That will never work!!" She shot two more rounds. She decided to keep the last two for the last case scenario. "We can try!" Carlos said with a smile. Lucy scoffed at him and went to the left barn door. She made three swift knocks and decided to jokingly ask to enter. "Can you help us please? May we come in?" she said with her highest pitch voice in the most girly way possible. She believe there wouldn''t be a reply but surprisingly there was. "Ah! So she isn''t like Monster Woman!" "Huh?" (A/N You probably may or may not figured out who that was but I will say that I do not intend to have romance between the two unless something comes up and changes my mind.) The barn door swung open as a person stepped into the open. His right hand was raised with a gun glowing neon orange-red? And his left wrist had a watch or something around it glowing neon blue. Lucy stepped back several times in surprise before falling down. She looked up at the zombie ready to bite her head off before the person discharged his weapon firing a red laser of some sort completely disintegrating the head of the zombie, leaving a clean circle as the body fell down beside Lucy. "Eh?" The same continued for the next several shots. Zombies soon had gaping holes in their bodies and head as this laser cut a clean hold six inches in diameter on the part it lands on. "Tch! There''s so many I think my weapon will run out of charge if I handle them one by one." His gun or whatever it was went from a orange-red color to a crimson red color. "Safety off?" the gun said? In a robotic voice. "Authorized", the person off. "That was just safety?" Lucy yelled as the person fired a continuous stream of a crimson red laser across the tree line, cutting all the trees in half and disintegrating the entire horde. Lucy stared silently as Carlos started laughing heartily. "Told you se?ora, you just have to knock!" The person walked to Lucy as she sat on the earth. He extended his hand to her and she slowly grabbed his hand. She still stayed silent and still on the earth, her mind only asking *Who is this guy?* The man smiled at her, making her heart warm. "Hello there, I''m Doctor Aurora Lumen." ********************************************************************************************** Damn! I said I wouldn''t have romance between the two! Nope! It''s just gratitude! Yep! She is only thankful! Ignore the part where Lucy''s heart felt warm. On a totally unrelated note, crushes is not considered romance to me unless the other partner is romancing with the other person. Read This!!!!! When the multiverse theory is true, there is a chance that zombies are real right? I will try not to stay in one place for an extensive amount of time because why would this story be called the Multiverse Leaper if the MC''s stay in one place for thirty chapters and not moving between universes?(If the situation calls for it or if I feel like it, the MC may stay in a place for a somewhat lengthy amount of time but not enough to span 30+ chapters). More things is bound to happen later on and I need more ideas that are interesting and fun to write about. Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. Well I''ll make these chapters extremely long from now on (hopefully) so I can make the details without having to use so many chapters. Also, update time is erratic and spontaneous, a new chapter may appear from the tall grass! So read, comment, and criticize! Main Page
