Squish.

"Gross," Craig Tucker deadpanned as he yanked his nail-covered bat out of the rotting flesh of a zombie's head. He was completely used to this by now, but that particular zombie had been rather...sticky. He made a mental note to try and wipe off the goo later.

"Agh! Craig!" A voice cried out behind him, and he immediately turned to see his boyfriend slamming his axe down on a zombie, cutting its head clean off.

"What is it, babe?"

Tweek didn't respond for a few moments, methodically cutting down four more zombies. Since the world as they knew it had effectively ended, Tweek had surprisingly calmed down a bit. He still had rather severe anxiety, but his twitching had almost completely gone away, save for certain moments when he was extremely nervous. One would think that would be all the time in a zombie apocalypse, but Tweek was a lot hardier than people had given him credit for in the past. Of course, those people were mostly all zombies now.

It had been about a three months since the outbreak, and Craig, Stan, Kyle, Clyde, Token, and Tweek were still no closer to finding out exactly how it started. Luckily, they had run across several non-turned friends of theirs like Butters, Wendy, and Kenny, but some of their other classmates were still yet to be seen.

Craig personally wanted to blame Stan for all of this, although Tweek had persuaded him to team up with them after they had run into each other at the gas station convenience store. Some shit about mutually benefiting each other. Still, the initial four of them - Craig, Stan, Kyle, and Tweek - had been a good team. It only took a few days before they'd found Clyde, Jimmy, and Token, grouped up together and thankfully unturned. From then on, the seven of them had stuck together. They all managed to survive by raiding stores for food after the rations they had brought with them eventually ran out.

About a month after Clyde, Jimmy, and Token had joined them, the group had stumbled upon Butters, Wendy, and Kenny, also thankfully unturned. Kenny had a rather haunted look in his eyes though, worse than usual. The whole zombie outbreak had seemed to really unsettle him for some reason. Not that Craig cared too much, but with zombies seemingly multiplying every day, the unturned had to stick together. Or something like that.

However, Kenny, Wendy, and Butters hadn't actually wanted to join them immediately. They wanted to find their other friends first, and promised to regroup some other time.

However, that was two months ago. As of now, Craig had no idea where those three had gone or if they were successful in locating any of the other South Park teenagers. He whacked the head off an approaching zombie with a slight grunt.

"Craig!" Tweek called again, having finished re-killing a batch of zombies.

"Yeah?" Craig turned to his boyfriend again.

"Ngh, well, I-I think I see Karen and Tricia! Unturned!"

"Where?" Swiveling around, Craig's eyes darted left and right, searching for signs of his little sister and her friend. Tricia could be a pain in the ass, but he was relieved that she was currently alive, if Tweek wasn't mistaken. He caught sight of bright red hair and unmistakable pigtails.

Wait, was that his katana?

A/N: I really hope you liked the prologue! I know it was short, but it's just a quick prologue. If you guys like this, I'll keep writing! I haven't written fanfiction in so long - I was so happy to write this! I must admit I'm not actually that knowledgeable about South Park (though I love Creek to death and I've watched all those episodes), nor am I particularly well-versed in Zombie Apocalypses, but I did my best! I'll be following tuckerenthusiast's updates on the AU, so I'll try my best to incorporate all of it into this story. Do note though, this story takes place about three months after the outbreak started.
Please check out tuckerenthusiast's tumblr for more details about the CotD AU! The characters are all in their teens in this AU, I think. I tried to keep them all in character, and please feel free to point out any mistakes you find!

Please, if you enjoyed it, leave a comment! They make my day. South Park and the Craig of the Dead AU do not belong to me, of course.
My own Tumblr is YuurixNikiforov.
Thanks for reading! Btw, the title is a spoof of Tucker and Dale vs Evil.
