Takashi was in shock of what these sick homeless people are eating a human leg and knew that he was going to be next. Takashi was completely frozen and had no idea what to do. As for the young british boy next to Takashi, he was freaking out.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

The British teen cried out as he continues looks at the missing space were his left leg used to be.

"I'm gonna kill them- I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL THEM ALL" The boy continued to sob as he heard his leg being smacked upon the cannibals.

Every bite, every munch Takashi heard making him want to hold down his own bile before it spilt all over the floor. He shouldn't have left the mall and turned away from his friends now he's paying the price for doing so. Just what the hell did he managed to get himself into?

(Opening Song: We Carry On by The Phantoms feat. Amy Stroup)

Only an hour had passed during the initial progress of the interrogation but for Alex it felt as if he was doing it for almost an eternity. Within the hour Ivan refused to cooperate on who he was working for and what their purpose was for spying them leaving him no other choice but to continue the interrogation by inflicting more means of pain. He started with a kitchen knife then after that a wrench, then a pole, then a blowtorch. Right now he was on the baseball bat showing Ivan how good his swing really is.

"Fucking hell you're a Stubborn little bastard, you know that right?" Alex said as he turned away from the battered up Ivan to put the bloodied baseball bat on the table.

"You might as well give up Ivan, there's no use going through this much torture over some secret."

Alex then turned back towards Ivan now slouching on the chair breathing slowly but loud enough to hear. During the moment Alex was expecting anything that would come Ivan's mouth, whether it would be a snarky insult or just a simple 'Fuck you' but when the first few minutes passed he stopped and refused to talk and continued doing so for the rest of the torture.

"Is this secret really worth dying over for Ivan, tell me!?" Alex shouted as pregnant silence filled the air.

With no response Alex growled until he saw Ivan forming his lips.

"I was wrong about you, Alex Lawson." Ivan murmured breaking the silence

"What was that?"

"At first I thought you would be different from the rest of them, Someone who would of been willing to survive by any means necessary even if it meant backstabbing others just for you to have the slim chance of survival. You would of fit perfectly in our group But now after how I see you act around the others, I realize something…"

Ivan stood up with his face more visible in the dimmed lighting, he was smiling.

"You're nothing more than just a little child who's thinks he's hot shit...am I right?"

Alex was caught off guard by this, just who...who the fuck is this guy? He begins to resposture him.

" sh-SHUT UP, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME!" he shouted as his hand twitching towards the pistol on the table, his face slowly twisting into a frown which causes Ivan to chuckle at the sight.

"Oh really? I can guessed that you have a daddy's complex every time you see those two brats happy with that cop and nurse." Alex's eyes grew as wide as saucers.

"Wait, how did you-" Alex murmured with his jaw gaping as if it was going to fall off his mouth.

"Easy to tell since you have a soft spot for the kids and for the other survivors." Ivan interrupted as he lowered his eyes at Alex in a sinister manner.

"I wonder…if something bad happens to your friends, what would you-"

As if on cue, Alex grabs the Colt from the table and points it at Ivan's head in a sideways manner.

"I guess I struck a nerve huh?!" Ivan chuckled as he watches the 19 year old's eyebrows twitching uncontrollably.

"Touch any of them and I will BURN everyone you loved alive and make you watch!" Alex yells loudly which sounded more like a snarl than a yell.

"Well holy shit that went better than I thought!... Pull the trigger I dare you, show me that you're not weak." Ivan smirked as he watches the teenager contemplating on the decision before he lowered the gun down.

"You're with the cannibals, are you?" The self proclaimed anarchist said in a cold and harsh tone. "You eat people do you, you sick fuck?!"

"Oh please we're not like those flesh eating lunatics, we choose to survive by being the strongest while the weak gets tossed away to the undead… I guess the term,'survival of the fittest' can be best described on what we do. It'll only be a matter of time when we spring into action and when we do, you'll beg...YOU'LL ALL BEG FOR YOUR MISERABLE LIV-!" Suddenly a surge of pain swept through his right kneecap. looking down he saw a bullet sized hole squirting out blood. Looking upwards he could just see all the hate and fury swirling around in Alex's eyes, and the topping of it all? His semi white teeth clenching in anger as if ready he was ready to rip ivan's neck with them.

"Maybe there's still a chance for you to join us after all." Ivan grinned seemingly unfazed about the fact that his right knee cap just got blown to hell.

Purely Disgusted Alex put the gun back on the table and left the room, as he shut the door behind him he noticed Kwan leaning on the other side of the wall smoking a cigarette.

"I'm going to get my glock back from the armory and maybe get a breather. while I'm gone you can torture the bastard to your heart content"

"About damn time I was getting bored just standing around skull kid, take as much time as you want." Kwan said as he takes one final puff of the cigarette before putting it out.

Watching as Kwan stomped out the smoke Alex snapped his fingers catching his attention.

"Kwan!"

Kwan jolted nearly making him drop his smoke. "Jesus Christ, what the fuck was that for!"

"Sorry, mind if I have a smoke?"

Kwan looked at the teen for a few seconds before sighing as he rolled his eyes

"Sorry Skulls, this was my last one."

"Well at least I asked." Alex shrugged off before walking away from the soldier.

'Survival of the fittest...who's the fucking nutcase that decided with that solution?' He thought to himself as he pounders on the motives of this new threat.

Later, John arrived back to the mall with Evan as he parked his ATV in the garage. John still keep his gun pointing at him even his hands are cuffed.

"Hey is this really necessary?"

"Yes it is until I can trust you." Said John.

Suddenly Alex and Saeko was seen walking towards the newly arrived John and his 'guest' of honor. Saeko then noticed that something is wrong as she frozed.

"Yo Phoenix welcome back, Any sign of Takashi?" Alex asked the marine leaving him to shake his head in disapproval causing the teen to muttered a silent swear.

"W-Wesley?" Saeko asked.

John then realized that Saeko is next to Alex as she is worried about Wesley since he's not with him. John then comforts Saeko as he explain himself.

"He's fine. He insisted on trying to find your friend alone. Me and my guys will look for him in the morning."

Saeko gives a relief sigh even though Wesley is still out there. Alex then noticed about John's prisoner and starts to have an idea of who he is.

"Evan...you're Evan aren't you?" Alex Questioned with his voice seething with unrelenting fury.

Evan was surprised that Alex knew who he was and then starts to give out a scoff as he knows what this means.

"...I'm guessing Ivan and the others failed didn't they?"

"Yes they did..." Said Alex in a cold manner.

Saeko was also surprised as she thought that Evan is dead. Now it seems that this might be a set up and that Evan and his friends are here to kill the group. Alex then pulls out his glock that was concealed in his back pants and aimed its sight at the captive's head then continues.

"...and like them you're gonna answer some questions. Now question one; why are you guys here?"

"Actually...we thought you guys might be evil."

John then gives a questionable look to Evan which he then continues.

"Me, Noah, Cameron and Ivan been watching you guys to see if you're the good guys...trying to see if we can trust you-"

"Oh no no no, Don't even think about trying to pull that bullshit on me!" Alex snapped looking more furious than earlier ago.

"The hell are you're talking about?!"

"I'm talking about how all of this sounds like you're pulling a fast one! First, your friends lied that you were dead. Second, your buddy Ivan pulled a fucking gun on me when i was snooping around and lastly when I was questioning him he said some pretty interesting things, he even had a god damn 'the weak shall perish' talk going on. Hell, he went as far as Threatening to hurt my friends just to see me snap! All of this and what you said contradicts with each other, we may not be evil but you guys are sure as hell ARE questionable" Alex said as Evan gave him a confused look.

"You're putting too much thought on this, Sherlock holmes"

"Hell no. More like Phoenix Wright up in this motherfucker."

"Who?"

"He's- Ugh. Just forget it."

"So where are the others, Lawson?" John asked causing the teen to turn his head towards the marine.

"Oh them? Me, Saeko and a couple of your boys manage to capture them, earlier ago. Me and Kwan were interrogating that sicko Ivan and so far from what we fetched up they ain't the cannibals but, they're something worse."

"How worse?"

"We're probably talking like a messed up cult or some shit like that, I mean you heard me earlier ago, when I said that Ivan among the lines was basically saying 'the strong strives and the weak dies' thing and what they're saying is true they could be binding their time for a perfect moment to strike us."

"Well... he's kinda right." Said Evan.

"Like I said; I'm Phoenix Wright, bitch." Alex smugly said as his gun continued to point at Evan.

"Still don't know who that is."

"For the love of- Play a Goddamn video game man."

While Alex was still interrogating Evan, Saeko still worries about Wesley as he was still out there and it was getting dark which made her more worried.

Back in the city, Wesley was walking through the street with the attacker from earlier as he was showing Wesley his hideout where he has a feeling that he knows where Takashi is. Wesley was two step behind his attacker but his rifle pointing at him to make sure he doesn't do anything that he'll regret doing...but that's not Wesley only problem...it was now night time and he have to hurry to get to Takashi.

"あなたは生き残れないでしょう。(You won't survive.)" Said the attacker in

Japanese.

"黙れ。(Shut up.)" Said Wesley in Japanese.

"あなたは私のように彼らを知らない、あなたの友人は生きていないかもしれない。(You don't know them like I do, your friend might not even be alive.)"

"私は黙って言った。私があなたの口から出したい唯一の言葉は、私たちがあなたの隠れ家にいるということです。(I said shut up. The only words I want out of your mouth is that we're at your hideout where you're keeping a friend of mine.)"

"そういうことでしょう。(We'll see about that.)"

Suddenly jumping out of a window from a store is an undead man and it tackled the cannibal to the ground and started maulding him which the cannibal started screaming in pain. There nothing that Wesley can do but knows that he have to move before more rage undead shows up. He slowly walks around the rage undead as it continues to maul him but had to move fast because of the cannibal's screams. This was bad for Wesley as now he has no way of finding Takashi. Later, Wesley then found himself near an apartment building as he moves quietly and makes sure he's not spotted. He peek his head out and noticed some lighting from a window on a upper level. He doesn't see anyone from outside meaning they're already inside but wonders how many there are. Suddenly without any warning,

"Don't you bloody move." Said a woman in a british accent.

Behind Wesley is a young Chinese woman with short hair and is wearing a red long sleeve shirt, black pants and boots and is carrying an carbine M4A1 with only a suppressor and is aiming it at Wesley's head.

"Lower your fucking weapon."

Wesley obeyed as he lowered his weapon and his hands up in the air surrendering.

"Now then...you with them?" The woman asked.

"If you're referring to those freak who loves eating people then no." Wesley explained. "I'm looking for a friend who may have been kidnapped by these guys…"

The woman doesn't say anything as she figuring out if the japanese american boy is lying or not as Wesley hopes that the woman doesn't shoot him as he really want to bring back his friend and get back to Saeko and the other alive.

Takashi was still in shock as he has no idea what to do and afraid that he's going to be eaten like how these homeless cannibals are eating the british teenager's leg. One of the cannibals who is the leader starts to walk up to Takashi with a knife in his hand.

"私たちがあなたを食べ始めるとき、あなたはどんな味がするのだろうか。(I wonder what you'll taste like when we start eating you.)" Said the cannibal leader as he's swinging his knife in Takashi's face. "私は耳から始めるべきだと思います。(I think I should start with the ears.)"

Suddenly the doors was kicked down and the cannibals could react quick enough to figure out what was going and then was killed easily one by one when someone stormed into the room and starts shooting down the homeless cannibals in the room before they could react. All of them were killed instantly as they were either shot dead centered to the chest or the head. When Takashi and the british boy look at the cannibal's killers, Takashi was shocked to see that it's Wesley.

"Wesley?"

Wesley turns to Takashi as he was surprised to see Takashi tied up.

"Takashi!"

Takashi couldn't believed that Wesley is here and then noticed the British Chinese woman behind him.

"Who the hell is she?" Takashi asked.

"S-She's with me, mate." The british boy answered.

The Chinese British woman turns to the british boy and was shocked to see his condition.

"Oh my god!" The woman rushes to the british teenage boy to check on him.

"What did those bastards did to you?"

"They ate them!" The boy yelled. "They ate my fucking leg!"

"Wha-"

"Just get me the fuck out of here"

The Young Woman then starts to free the British boy while Wesley freed Takashi. Takashi was a bit confused and angry when he saw Wesley like he was the last person to ever see.

"What are you doing here, Wesley?!" Takashi questioned.

"What do you think?" Said Wesley as he freed himself from Takashi. "I came for you."

"You're wasting your time...I ain't going back."

"The hell you're not."

"Can both of you wankers wait till we're out of here?!" The woman asked while checking on the wounded the british boy.

The two then goes to check on the British boy and noticed that blood is still pumping from his wound as the bandage is starting to worn out.

"Fuck...he's losing a lot of blood." Said Takashi. "The bastard didn't even gave him proper treatment."

"Well...we can wait here and treat him the best way we can." Wesley suggested. "There's no way we're leaving since it's-"

Suddenly there was a loud roar coming from the distance and it came from somewhere in the apartment building which puts the group in shock.

"Shit..."
