The Dead Will Come

Rating: R
Characters/Pairings: The pilots. 1x2, 3x4
Summary: A batch of abandoned toxic waste turns a town into a living cemetery.
Warnings: Zombies, death (not the pilots), gore, language, violence and everything you would expect of a bad B movie. Also humor, hopefully.
Notes: This was inspired by Robert Rodriquez and Quentin Tarantino's "Grindhouse" so if you saw that then you know what to expect. If you haven't, then think of bad 80's zombie movies and you'll get the picture.

"Those things smell," Duo complained, giving a nasty look to the zombies locked on the cell just beside theirs. The zombies were sticking their arms through the bars, doing their best to get to the living people on the other cell.

Heero, Duo, Howard and Wufei were sitting by the far wall, as far away from the zombies as possible. Trowa was pacing. Quatre had been taken away. As soon as they had arrived to the laboratories that Dorothy woman had taken Quatre with him while the other armed men got the rest of them down into the cells. Trowa had fought; it hadn't done him much good.

"It's because they are rotting corpses." Wufei sounded annoyed.

"Shut up in there," one of the mercenaries said, banging his gun on the bars of the cell.

There were three of them out there, drinking coffee and chatting as if the smell of putrid flesh didn't affect them. Mercenaries for hire, Heero could easily recognize them, and not the best ones out there.

Duo blew a raspberry at the man's back. "This sucks!" He took a small pebble from the floor and threw it at one of the zombies, hitting it on the eye.

"No damaging the merchandize!" The man who had spoken before said. He had black hair and a nasty scar on the side of his face.

"I don't fancy going downtown to get more of those things," said another. He was the younger one with reddish hair.

"Guess they were having a big zombie trap downtown," whispered Howard.

Duo suddenly stood up. "This is fucking great! We're about to become zombie dinner, a fucking all you can eat buffet! And you, Yuy," he glared at Heero, "you come back just in time to let me see you get eaten! Wonderful!"

Heero stood up and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "I came back for you. To save you."

"Well, pretty well that turned out, uh? Why don't we talk about why you left on the first place?" Duo was glaring.

Heero glared back. "I didn't want you to get hurt."

"Well I did. I got hurt because of you, you fucking asshole!"

"Shut up in there!" The mercenary with the scar banged his gun on the bars again.

Heero ignored him. "Better that than getting you killed."

"Is that what you think of me?" Duo snorted. "That I would have gotten killed on the first chance?"

"Stop it now!" The man yelled again.

"I was doing quite well without you here, Yuy," Duo continued, not caring about the mercenaries. "Even with the fucking zombies. I was killing them just fine. I didn't need a knight in shining armor to come rescue me."

"You two, break it up!" The third mercenary, a brown haired one , aimed his gun at them threateningly.

Heero turned his back on the cell door. "I had to! I needed to see that you were okay."

"You've seen that, so now what? After we become zombies you leave me again? I would already be dead, what would be your excuse then, Yuy?"

The mercenary with a scar opened the door. "I told you to—"

Heero's elbow smacked into the man's throat.

"What the—" The redhead was moving into the cell. Duo punched him hard on the stomach then delivered a jab to the face.

Heero took the gun from the one with the scar and at the same time he and Duo launched for the last mercenary. Duo hit him with the butt of the gun he had taken from the redhead and the man fell on the floor, unconscious.

The one with the scar groaned. Wufei quickly kicked him on the head. Heero ignored that, ignored them all and focused all his attention on Duo. A split second later they were kissing.

"If you ever leave me again, Heero, I'll kill you!"

Heero smiled and kissed Duo back. "Deal."

"Is this really the time for this?" Wufei asked.

"Kids today," Howard muttered. "Can't wait till there are no zombies around…"
