<span style="font-style: italic">December 21, 2012 was the day the first of the walking dead appeared. No one knew where they came from or how they worked but they came and they infected. A bite or scratch from them infected a person. That person first died from a fever and then revived as one of them, their only plans in mind being to eat flesh, animal, human, any kind of flesh. The world became hectic as the disease spread and the creatures slowly ate at the population. In six months the only survivors were those that had left their homes soon enough and had avoided getting eaten up to that point. Survivors discovered that a decapitation, damage to the brain or even turning heads completely around to the point of snapping everything inside the neck, is the only way to kill them. Some live hunkered down in houses, some remain on the move. The city Cisgabd was a city that was working on a cure for the disease and the assumed place of origin. It however was destroyed in a atomic level explosion leaving only CDC to try to find a cure. This is the story of some of the survivors.</span><br/><br/>Two red orbs opened up looking at the ceiling above them. A man attempted to rise from a bed he was laying only to fall, having difficulty standing on his legs. He looked around the room seeing no source of light and only seeing a bathroom, dresser and bed he was on. He tried to remember how he got here but could not remember even his own name. He looked around on the floor to see what he could find. Finding a wallet he opened it to see an I.D. of a man with black hair named Kaori Ballista and a picture of a girl with brown hair. Taking a deep breath and pushing himself up from the ground, he managed to stumble over to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Looking into it he saw he had red eyes, and spiky waist length black hair that reminded him of a dog raising its hackles. His height was around 6'1''. He realized at that moment that the I.D. was his meaning the name Kaori Ballista was his. He wondered who the girl was and figured that she may be his only lead to finding out anything about himself. He went over to the dresser, his legs almost working back to normal at that point. He looked through the drawers finding some clothing. He dressed in a black t-shirt, black jeans, black combat boots, and a black jacket. He looked through the last drawer finding two hand guns and a hunting knife as well as large lock shaped locket with key and holsters for the weapons. Putting on the weapons and putting the picture of the girl in the locket he walked back over to the mirror and took the knife to his hair cutting the length down to no longer than his neck before leaving the building.<br/><br/>Once outside Kaori saw he was in a city that had been bombed to rubble. He most likely only survived because he was in a basement room. He looked around seeing a man walking. "Where are we?" he called out asking the man. The man only moaned in reply prompting the amnesiac to repeat his question only for the same reply, however the man was walking towards him. A dog that was grey with a white underside, pointed ears, and white spots on his back started barking at the two and growling. Kaori watched the dog curiously as it ran up the man biting him in the leg. The man did not seem to feel the pain as he swiped at the dog that had just bitten him in his leg. "I got you," Kaori said to himself pulling out one of his guns and pointing it towards the two. The man was trying to catch the dog making slow progress as the canine continued barking and growling at him. Kaori pulled the trigger watching as the body fell to the ground and the dog stopped its noise. Putting his gun away and walking over to the animal and dead body discovering the flesh was rotting, signs that the person was far from normal as he thought. He checked for a collar only to find nothing to indicate anything about him. He figured the dog was no older than a year old. "How about we call you Blitzkrieg. It means lightening warfare, and right now it seems like that is what you are," he told the dog earning a lick. "Yeah you agree." Kaori then stood up and with Blitzkrieg by his side started heading towards the exit of the city to see what he could find.
