#2 of DigiDead Part 3
Inmates Emily dairy: 'I can't believe how long it's been since the barn. I used to think that I should have just ended it there but I was wrong. Being a part of a new group has really brought everything together. Scourge and Emily are running deep in the woods trying their best to avoid trouble. After a moment of catching their breath Scourge carefully moving his crossbow about. Emily came up with him. 'Now we found the prison. We created home here. Veemon is making sure everyone stays up to try and help rebuild a society.' They passed a group of walkers going deeper and deeper into the woods. 'We've made a lot of progress. We can have this be are home permanently.' They stopped as they saw some tracks. Scourge looks over the dead bodies and is joined by Emily. He pushes his crossbow against the trees very carefully, "We aren't alone." Emily looks back at him, "Other survivors..." Emily said, "So, some people are still alive." Scourge studied the grass, "Doubt it." Emily looked at some barriers, "Would it kill you to have some faith." Scourge looked away, "Faith didn't keep Jijimon alive did it?" Emily was hushed down and grabbed some of the berries. Scourge handed her a cloth to help her out. Scourge looked out and followed the tracks. Emily caught up behind and three walkers were in their way. Scourge raised up his crossbow and shot one walker in the head. Another knocked him down. Emily took out her knife and pulled it off then stabbed it in the head. Scourge took his own knife out since his crossbow was knocked over to take out the last one. Emily looked at Scourge and he just nodded. He picked up his crossbow and they pressed forward. They came upon a trench and Scourge stopped hearing more walkers up ahead. They both carefully advanced to see the walkers were having a meal of some humans. Scourge picked up his crossbow again reusing the same bolt as before taking out the closest walker. Scourge picked off the other two. Scourge saw the railroad tracks. Emily studied the bodies and picked up a boot. She recognized that these were survivors from the prison. Scourge wanted to continue but Emily who was once so strong stood their crying. The pain of all the hope was lost once more. After everything the prison had failed them. And more so Emily thoughts of the perfect home were also destroyed. Those walls provided them a false since of security and through it Emily was weakened. Now she was forced into an actual battle where she had no choice but to kill walkers. Everything in that moment chanced. She was frozen by the insult of the prisons false perfection. Insulted even by many of the actions Veemon actually took to protect them. This was a reminder of hell and that there was no happiness here. Scourge stopped and looked back. Deep down what had kept him going was pure instinct. All the actions he took in the past became justified and through it he became so much more of a badass. He was being direct in his message to Emily that only the things that were living before them mattered now. He held a brief sigh. He wanted her to move on past this loss and move on. He needed her to become strong for the first time and be one with that moment. Scourge said, "Come on." Eventually Emily joined him back into the forest. They avoided even more walkers spending a lot more energy trying to get to an area clear of walkers. They ran out into an open field. Both of them were exhausted and fell into a blades of grass. They both breathed heavily while looking up at the morning sky.
Lisa and Mika were moving together in the forest. Lisa picked up her knife as she saw a rabbit, as they continued to walk she smothered the blade then caught a rabbit and killed it. She left them in the woods. Up ahead them was Bearmon leading them with Salamon in his hands. Bearmon had a leftover bag from the prison with him. Salamon started crying heavily. Lisa quickly said, "They hear her." Bearmon stopped and handed Salamon to Leda. He dropped the back looking over both sides and grabbed a new diaper. He changed Salamon. Lisa heard another rustle, "Walkers." Bearmon cautioned her, "Stay here." Mika ran off. Bearmon came back and whispered sort of loudly, "Mika." Bearmon moved with Salamon in his arms and with Lisa behind him. He whispered again, "Mika." They saw her behind a tree. Mika cried, "I'm sorry, I got scared." Bearmon said, "Its ok. You did the right thing." Lisa asked, "What?" Bearmon knelt down and touched Mika's shoulder, "Next time try to run together. Were still in a group." He took out his hammer and saw the walker. He smashed its head in. He saw another ran up and hit that one to death as well. He went back and took Salamon. They continued their adventure in the woods. Bearmon never suspected that this would be the circumstances of losing the prison. After desperately wanting to leave, he never suspected it be so much harder especially to look after three kids none of which were his. Still the reasonability was clearly present. Then they heard a load scream. They stopped once more. Bearmon said, "I'm gonna check it out." Lisa asked, "What about us." Bearmon said, "Stay here." Mika cried out, "You're leaving us." Bearmon said, "Those people could be from the prison. I have to help them." Mika cried, "I can't..." He pulled out Mika's knife out just a bit then said, "Mika you're strong. I need you two to look after one another." He adjusted them so they were back to back, "Stay here. If walkers calm run toward me together just like I said." Bearmon rushed off leaving Mika, Lena who was holding Salamon know. He saw three people getting attacked by three walkers. He rushed in with his hammer again slamming into the first walker. Mika looked up hearing a rustle in the distance. Salamon started crying again. Mika panicked, "Make her stop." Leda looked around and tried bouncing Salamon up and down a bit but nothing was working. She placed her hand over Salamon's mouth. Lena looked up so still and focused on this task. Two walkers came out and Mika cried, "Lisa..." The walkers saw them and started to come closer. Mika held up her gun and fired and missed. The walkers advanced. Another shot was fired. Bearmon looked up after saving a man who was already bit. Out of the woods Lena and Mika came out and behind them was Blackgatomon who was holding Salamon in her arms. Bearmon was surprised and asked, "How did you get out of the prison?" Blackgatomon said, "I was moved out a while back. I circled around after a while and came back." Lisa looked up at her, "I knew you'd come back." Bearmon said, "I'm glad you came." The man said, "Follow the tracks." They all looked at the dying man. As he pointed down, "They claimed it a safe haven. Trust me." They really didn't have many other options. The left the man to die while following the tracks. Mika and Lisa were ahead going down the track with Bearmon and Blackgatomon who was now holding Salamon behind them. They went up to a sign that said Termanious on it. Mika asked, "Can we really trust going down here?" Bearmon said, "We don't have much choice." They continued down the rail road track heading toward Termanious.
Lena was looking into a small pool of water. Kumamon was treating Commandramon's wounds. Commandramon said, "I should consider myself lucky that I'm here with someone so good at this." Kumamon focused on the right shoulder which was shot. Kumamon said, "I already checked the area around us its safe. So we should camp out here for tonight." Lena was still looking at the water, "I need to know if Guilmon is safe." Kumamon looked at her, "For all we know we could be the only ones left." Commandramon said, "Were not." Kumamon asked, "How could you know?" Lena said, "Look, I'm going to go out there and track the bus. It couldn't have gotten too far. I'll go on my own" Kumamon said, "You're gonna get killed on your own. Were practically out of bullets." Commandramon said, "Well damn, I suppose I'll go and help search for Guilmon. Might as well stick together and all." Kumamon was even finished with the patch-up and Lena lead them to the road. Lena was far ahead as Kumamon and Commandramon were a bit behind talking. Kumamon sighed, "I can't believe this." Commandramon said, "Relax, it will be fine. Were together so that's good." Kumamon looked at Commandramon and said, "Together...You mean me and you..." Commandramon asked, "Well did I get shot for nothing or are you going to hook up with me." Kumamon started to ask, "You're..." He looked aside, "Never mind. We're not hooking up." Commandramon sighed, "Well that is a damn shame. I guess I got shot for nothing." They came upon the bus and Lena was frozen. The other two stopped as well. It was the bus they sent off for safety and it was stop dead here on the road. This was really building caution among all three of them. Lena went up getting to go in the front. Kumamon caught up, "Wait. Are you sure you want to do this?" Lena yelled, "I have to know." Kumamon said, "Then let's be smart about this." He led her to the back of the bus. He went to the hinged door and Commandramon went on the other side. Kumamon said, "We will let them out one of a time through the door." Lena stood firmly as Kumamon opened the door letting one walker out and Lena stabbed the random walkers. Kumamon nodded and opened the door a second time and again Lena was ready. Now the walkers were all at the back door. Kumamon pushed, "I can't hold them in." The walkers busted out and Commandramon backed up a bit. Lena took out the one in the lead coming out right at her. Commandramon and Kumamon took out the other walkers. Lena looked up and hopped up the bus. She moved carefully ahead to the front. There was a dead corpse and underneath it was another walker. Lena started crying as the walker came up slowly. She held up her knife and stabbed it in the back of the head. She sat down and continued to cry. The lost bodies of the prison. Commandramon felt bad feeling his words of there being others was false. Lena was a bit more hysterical still inside crying slumped in one of the chairs, emotionally changed that not a single one of the ones that got on the bus lived.
Guilmon woke up looking up and looked side to side. He heard the groans He sat up and looked down the collapsed walk way of the prison. Down below were tons of walkers. Guilmon got up quickly crying out, "Lena!" He looked around and all the walkers could do were attempt to reach him. They attempts were in vein. Guilmon looked at the exit behind all the walkers and went back inside. Guilmon moved back into the prison. He went to the cell block to his cell. He looked at the watch Jijimon gave him. He flopped down on the bed for a moment. He wanted to escape this moment so badly. He was still getting over his sickness. He got up and knelt under the bed and look at the cop helmet and body armor he got shortly after breaking into the prison. He gathered the most helpful gear while keeping the armor in arms. He saw a beer bottle and decided to grab that as well. He put the armor on and got his back filled with other supplies. He got the door. He took a deep breath and then ran out running right into the crowd of walkers head on. He pushed forward the helmet was blurred and hard to see through. He made his way to the other side of them. He saw a young woman entrapped in a small cage to keep plants safe. He almost didn't even see her and moved on completely. He managed to get her in his view. He made his way to the gate and opened it and reclosed it. Guilmon took the helmet off and said, "Hey..." The young woman was Tara. She was with Tails before and had to overcome the madness of him killing Jijimon. Tara said, "I was right in the middle of it. I couldn't handle what he was doing but I couldn't escape the governor." Guilmon said, "Never mind that. Come on, let's get you out of here. I'm going to find Lena." Tara asked, "Who?" Guilmon said, "She's my wife." Guilmon extended his hand and Tara grabbed it. He opened the gate and they escaped the prison together. When they hit the road Tara stopped them, "Wait, I was with the governor. How can you even trust me? I mean he kill some guy name Jijimon. I was with the guy." Guilmon looked down, he had no idea Jijimon was dead. Guilmon said, "Look, I need your help. And that's all there is to it. I got off this bus they had prepared to leave to fine Lena but I couldn't find her in time." Guilmon was rather determined to find Lena. They continued to move a bit further.
Patamon went down to the base floor of the facility after coming back with T.K in hand. He saw Tommy roaming around as a walker. Patamon shot him back down to kill him over. He unclothed the boy searching him. In his pants pockets were vials of a virus. They had Ada's name on it. He know knew that she did indeed have something to do with this and she was gone now. Patamon searched T.K too just to make sure. He didn't have any. T.K was a bit aroused by Patamon's search but nothing deeper would become of it. He went to the roof with T.K where he had all the controlled creatures stay. He had a new mission now. It was to search for more vials. There was others out their wanting this to drag out even longer. Patamon would now have the help of the creatures who had died and were restored from Dracmon's device. He took off the tag that said Chris Redfield on it. They dropped off a point that had the least walkers and advanced into the forest. Still watching on from a far distance was Kade who was with Luda. She asked, "Should we follow them?" Kade said, "We have our own mission. They'll be fine. Let's check out the damage first." They moved on after Patamon was gone. They headed into the facility and Kade sniped out a lot of the walkers. They went inside and saw the vials that Tommy held. She knelt down, "There are only five here." Kade picked them up and found a fire pit and threw them in. Kade said, "We have to find the other five." She asked, "Think Patamon took them?" Kade said, "No, if the pattern we've been finding is legit then the holder of more vials should be another kid." She stood up, "Makes since. So do we blow this place sky high?" Kade said, "Might as well." She placed all type of timed explosives around the facility and ran out. They waited until they saw the building explode down to nothing. They went into the forest in search of who else might have a vial.
Guilmon and Tara continue down the road. A walker was following them. Guilmon was too tired out to continue and passed out. Tara turned around and stabbed the walker. Five more walkers came down the other side of the street. A car stopped as Tara stood by with Guilmon who was unconscious on the floor. The vehicle stopped taking out all the walkers in her path. Tara waited as three creatures came out and stopped. Tara looked at them for a bit then asked, "Who are you?" The fox in the center held down his gun and said, "I'm Fox McCloud, you can just call me Fox. This is Falco Lombardi and Krystal."
