Chapter 1 - Tangled in the embrace of death.

        Pepper laid on the half torn sofa in the living room. Twiddling

her thumbs and stairing up at the ceiling. 2D walked into the room and

pondered for a second. He walked over to the sofa, positioned his hands

backwards, rested them on the arm which Pepper's head was on, leaned

foward and spoke        
        "What'choo doin'?"

        "Oh, nothing important. just spacing off, I guess..."

        "You wanna do something?"

        "No, not really."

        "Well, I was gon' watch George A. Romero's Land of the Dead.

You wanna watch it with me?"

        "Sure hold on." Pepper brought her legs up and sorta jumped

up straght. She got up and followed 2D to his room. A bit messy,

but she didn't mind. 2D, a little embarrassed and red-faced, picked

up a pair of briefs off the rug. He quickly put it behind his back.

He side-stepped to a basket of dirty laundry, while facing Pepper.

She giggled a bit. She then jumped on his queen-sized bed, positioned

her body in a 'face-first' position and faced the T.V. 2D then searched

for the tape. As soon as he found it, he pushed it into the VCR. He

headed toward the bed and laid down next to Pepper. As the ads for

other upcoming movies went on, Pepper went to go get some popcorn.

As she did, Murdoc followed behind. He quickly wrapped his arms around

her and whispered something to try have her follow him back

to his winne. He failed miserably. She bit his arm and kicked him in

the stomach. With the wind knocked out of him, he fell toward the ground,

wheezing. He was okay, just needed some air.


        "Damn it, I missed. Gotta aim lower. you're lucky Niccals."

After that, she headed toward the kitchen. As she spaced off,

stairing into the microwave, she thought she something abnormal.

She thought a zombified hand was breaking out of the bag. She jumped

back and screamed. She shook her head to get the vision out. She

peered outside the window and watched the sun slowly set.


        "Oh, I wish 2D could see this beautiful sunset."

        "I can see it love." 2D appeared behind her, wrapped his arms

around her, and kissed her softly on the cheek. He rested his head on

her shoulder and gazed out with her. The microwave stopped. Pepper opened

it and pulled out the popcorn. No zombie hand. The two then hurried back to the

bedroom. After the movie, the two fell asleep. In each other's arms.

Pepper woke up around 9:30 am, tried carefully to get out of the embrace

of 2D's arms. She then went to her room, and showered. She got ready, grabbed

a helmet and special gloves, and set out for outside. Noodle stopped Pepper

and asked something in Japenese. She responded in the same language.

Noodle was going to join Pepper in her extreme sport. But first, she

was going to ask 2D if he wanted to join. He was still asleep in his bed.

"2D-SAN!! KONNICHIWA!!" 2D jumped up and nearly fall off the the bed.. She then

He was wondering where Pepper was. Noodle quickly said

        "Pepper-Chan has gone to go do extreme things and we were wondering

if you wanted to join us 2D-san." 2D agreed to go, as he love to see Pepper

and Noodle do amazing things with the ATV's. He got dressed met the

daredevils outside. Pepper was already out on the track and roaring up the air.

then somewhere, funking up the winne, a certain Murdoc Niccals was growling.

He put on some trousers and stormed out the winnebago. Leaving the door open, a

13 year old Nazi, by the name of Kimmi sneaked into the winne. She locked the door.

She went to the driving part, and started the vehicle. Murdoc heard the most

heart-stopping sound ever. His tired eyes widened and he quickly spun around.

He saw a dark figure behing the windshield, but he still saw the mischievous

grin the small nazi was giving out. She then rammed the winne into a very

strong support beam. She was forced out window and onto the pavement. Kimmi

somersaulted a few times. She then stoppped, her rump in the air, a few glass

shards in her back and blood smears across the pavement. Murdoc slowly walked toward the

rebellious 13 year-old, knowing anything could provoke her and kill anything

that moves. She got up abruptly, picked up her hat, withdrew blood from the

smears and painted a swatstika on the floor. She held out her arm,

walked a few steps and then ran to a hole in to wall. Murdoc stared at the disaster

that was once his winne. He decided to return to it later. He slammed the door

that lead to the outside. 2D and Noodle gasped in horror and quickly

put on gas masks. Murdoc started yelling at Pepper. She saw him and skid dirt at

his face when she stopped. He ranted and raved, cursed and stuff.

After his rants, Pepper started the ATV and went off. But then...something

horrible happened. She charged of a ramp and flipped, it wasn't supposed

to do that. She crashed somewhere they couldn't see. 2D screamed, Noodle Screamed,

Murdoc, stunned. "NOOOO!!!!!!!" Noodle then Screamed something in Japenese.

2D had tears running down his cheeks. Noodle buried her face in 2D's shirt

and started sobbing. 2D put his hands on her head. Murdoc started crying a little.

Russel ran out and questioned "What the hell just happened, I was just on my computer

and then I heard a big crash." "Pepper was on her ATV, I came out because of the noise,

I yelled at her, then she went off a ramp and crashed." Russel's eyes widened at the story.

He searched Noodle's and 2D's face, he had enough evidence. What could they do, she was

away, they might not make it in time, what to do, what ever can they do to save the beloved

Pepper back home safe and sound?
