Town of The Living Dead Ch. 10
By Ryu Dragon

15 minutes later in the cafeteria…

“According to the history, the entrance to the secret lab is here.” – Lynn.

“Hmm… do you know where’s the door ?” – Ryu.

“Nope, the history book didn’t say anything about it, but I’m sure we can find it, let’s search through.” – Lynn.

They start to search, knocking the wall, looking for hidden door or button, anything that led to the secret entrance. Rogue was the first one who found it, she found secret hole on the wall, the hole is big enough to fit one person only, there is a rope hanging in the hole. “Hey, what’s this rope doing here ?” asked Rogue holding the rope. “A rope ? Rogue, let it go…!” yell Lynn, but the warning came too late as suddenly Rogue was pulled in through the hole. “Rogue !!!” – RD, he quickly run to the hole and jump in without checking first. “RD wait. D*mn. Lynn, what is that thing ?” – Ken. “That rope is a part of a monster body, it used to lure and to catch the victim.” explained Lynn. “Well, what’re we waiting for, come on !” – Ryu, as he jump in to the hole, followed by Ken and Lynn.

As RD landed, he is so surprised at what he saw, a huge plant, looks like a Venus FlyTrap with the size of a 2 level building, the top of the plant almost reach the ceiling. It also has at least a dozen of tentacles, one of them holding Rogue who is struggling to break free. “Hi Hadokyu (Fire Wave Ball) !”- RD as he launched a ball of fires to the tentacle that holding Rogue. The tentacle burned, Rogue is free, and she quickly moved to avoid another tentacle.

The other three fighters came, they also surprised, but quickly react as some of the tentacles try to catch them. “RD, Rogue, are you two okay ?” – Ryu as he jumping around avoiding the tentacles.

“Yes, we’re okay, at least for now.” – Rogue.

“Great, now what should we do ?” – Ken.

“I want to try my Shinku, but I don’t get a chance, can someone cover me ?” – Ryu.

“No, don’t use Shinku Hadoken, it won’t work. This monster has to be attack from its top center.” – Lynn.

“How can we do… wait I can do it, but someone has to make this thing stop for a while.” – Ken.

“Ryu and RD, can do it, they can use electric attack, but how can you attack ?” – Lynn.

“Don’t worry, Ryu, RD are you two ready ? On my count to three” – Ken.

“Okay, we’re ready now.” – Ryu and RD.

“One, Two, Three, go !!” – Ken.

“Denjin Hadoken !!!” – Ryu.

“Raimei Hadokyu !!!” – RD.

Both fighters launched a ball of electric attack, and hit the monster right on its body, causing the monster stun and all its tentacles drop down. “Now Ken !!!”- Ryu. Ken quickly jump, bounce from wall to the ceiling on top of the monster, he bounces again using the ceiling and launched his special attack “Shinryuken !!!” As he goes down, a huge pillar of fire was created, destroying the monster from the center of its body. The monster then burned and explodes, sending pieces of itself everywhere. The other four fighters quickly react, protecting themselves from burned pieces. After the explosion, and the room is cleared from dust, Ken is seen -kneel down- on the spot where the monster was, he is covered by some kind of ooze.

“Ken !! you okay ?” – Ryu.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Aww… man, I should have know ‘bout this thing. Look at this, Arrghh !!! Bison has to pay for my clothes.” – Ken. He tried to clean up the ooze, but not really successful. The other four fighters just smile, help Ken to clean him up, as best as they could and try to cheer him up.
