Mark fell onto the ground and looked at Alex and commented, "**This world can't stop us.**"
**"By the way, what skill do you have now?"** Mark asked, looking at Alex.
Alex didn't answer. He just looked at his hand before it was instantly filled with lightning, disappearing as fast as it appeared. **"Mark, are you hungry?"** Alex asked as he pulled out a chocolate bar and tossed it at him before sitting on the floor and staring at the ceiling.
Within a few minutes, Alex was asleep. Mark approached the bathroom door and locked it before he too slept.
**"Uhhhhhhhhhh!"**
Mark stretched when he woke up to see Alex doing push-ups.
**"Hey, what time do you think it is?"**
Mark inquired.
**"Yeah, I have 5:32 AM on my watch."**
When he woke up, Mark sat in the corner and watched Alex exercise until 6:00 in quiet.
**"I'm going to take a quick nap,"** Alex responded as he slept.
Leaving Mark with nothing to look at, he slept too. Mark woke up suddenly, finding Alex awake and staring at the wall as he reflected.
**"Are you ready to get moving?"** Mark queried.
Yes,
Alex answered back as he stood up and moved towards the door. The two of them opened it.
The school corridor was lined with sun from the windows, which shone off the morning sun.
There was nothing but dead bodies and blood for Mark and Alex to see. They did not see any zombies, and this was a relief to their minds.
As they crested the turn in the corridor, they found themselves face-to-face with a giant—its stance uncomfortably human but wracked, shredded clothes adhered to speckled gray flesh. Hollow eyes flashed with an unearthly glint of suffering.
"How the fuck is this possible?" Alex burst out to Mark as he took a pace back.
Having heard the sound of the sudden impact, the humanoid beast glared down at Alex and Mark. It punched its fist towards Alex's head, and Alex ducked.
**"Bang!"**
Alex looked up to see that the wall he had been standing against now featured a big crack. **"Alex, get out of here!"** Mark shouted as he swung his axe into the monster's neck.
He flashed the axe free, and blood splashed out. *Fireball!* Mark muttered to himself, waving his right arm. A humongous fireball burst out, slamming the creature smack on the face.
Alex came storming in suddenly and punched the stomach continuously as lightning flashed off his fists. The monster screeched and hit Alex's stomach, slinging him down.
**"Bang!"**
Alex's body hit the wall and fell to the floor. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
