The world as everyone knew it had gone to hell in a hand basket, or so they said. Just days ago, the news had come on saying that some sort of weird virus had been released in multiple places across the continent turning the infected into creatures much like those featured in all the zombie movies. Hours later a lab exploded, releasing who the heck knows what into the atmosphere and shortly after people began to discover odd abilities, the affected area seeming to grow from around the area that lab had been in. Just a few days and the civilized world had reverted to more animalistic ways, especially once the powergrids began to fail. Amist this chaos, the remaining people began to form small groups just trying to survive. This is where our tale begins, in a small town close to where that lab had exploded. 

A young woman with fiery red hair that was pulled back into a neat ponytail, meandered out from her hiding place seeming to be in no hurry even as the five zombie like creatures on that street took notice of her. Whipping her sturdy metal baton out, she made quick work of breaking two of the zombies' knees, those two now significantly slower. She then proceeded to taunt the remaining three, drawing them away from the door of a shop, as a another pair of people slipped into the door unnoticed. About five minutes later they slid out of the store, joining the woman whom had dislocated one zombie's right leg, smashed another zombie's head in, and simply tied the last one up. Watching the zombies curiously, she seemed to be taking mental notes, prehaps on the best way of killing and disabling them. Once the others laden with the loot from the store joined her, the trio slipped into an alleyway making their way along confidently.
