28 Weeks Later..., my new fanfic

[Eddie Blake]

PROLOGUE.
Team Lyoko, along with William and Yumi’s little
brother Hiroki, are hiding out in an abandoned cottage.
All the windows have been boarded up so none of the
Infected can find them. Tensions have begun to run high
in the little cabin. Ulrich has threatened multiple times to
let the Infected in so he can escape and Hiroki is still
clinging to the hope that his mum and dad are still alive.

Z.O.E. Productions Present

28 Weeks Later

SCENE: INT. COTTAGE.
[Jérémie and the others are eating dinner at the
table except for Hiroki is sitting on the carpet singing quietly
to himself and eating dinner. The atmosphere in the cottage
is getting tense.]

HIROKI (singing):
Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?

Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me?

Hey you, don’t help them to bury the light!
Don’t give in without a fight!

[Suddenly, a glass flies towards Hiroki. He gets
out of the way just before it hits the wall.]

ULRICH: Will you shut up, Hiroki? Please!

HIROKI: Well pardon me for believing that
my parents may still be alive!

ULRICH: (Scoffs) Alive? Exactly how many infected
people we’re trying to escape from, huh? Tell me that?

HIROKI (pushing Ulrich): I don’t know! I was
running so fast, I didn’t have time to count!

ULRICH: So that’s how it’s gonna be, huh? Fine, let’s rumble!

[The two begin to fight. It takes both
William and Yumi to break the two up.]

JEREMIE: Look, I know it’s been rough lately, but there’s
nothing we can do alright? (To Hiroki) As soon as
the crisis is over, maybe then we start looking for your
parents! (To everyone else) But until that time
comes we’re stuck here. (To Ulrich and Hiroki) Now
sit down and eat your dinner.

[Hiroki and Ulrich both eye each other before getting
back to their dinner. Suddenly, there’s a knock at the door
and sounds of someone calling for help. William opens the
door and sees its Milly. He quickly helps her inside and locks
the door.]

Interesting so far, but I think some of the characters are a little OOC.

Who am I to judge? Lets have some more chapters!!!

[AelitaBelpois]

Reminds me of "The Last Stand" game (1st and 2nd versions). It's basically a Storm the house/defend the house thing, you're one of the only survivors left and must protect your base from zombies every night as you try to travel to safety, where more survivors are with supplies. It's actually a good game, depending if you like the chainsaw, or the assortment of weapons provided (I think they are both in Armor Games).

[Eddie Blake]

Here's an idea I have for later in the story...

SCENE: ULRICH’S DREAM.
[Ulrich is walking along a dirty road. He sees Yumi in the
distance with her back to him. He starts running as fast
as he can to her position. As soon as het gets within
inches of her, a wall quickly begins building in front
of him, separating the two. He begins banging on the
wall, but to no avail. He begins to sing, hoping that Yumi
will hear him.]

ULRICH (singing to Yumi):
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces where we used to talk?
How shall we fill the final spaces? How shall we complete the wall?

[lyokofanforever]

that sounds like a good idea, looking forward for it!

[Eddie Blake]

Here's the next part of the story...

WILLIAM: Milly, What the heck were you doing out there?

MILLY: Running.

AELITA (giving Milly a glass of water): Running?
From who?

[Milly drinks from the glass.]

YUMI: Milly, if you don’t tell us who you’re
running from, then we can’t help you.

MILLY: T-Tamiya. She’s one of them, she’s infected!
(Grabbing Yumi’s shirt) You’ve got to help me!
Please don’t let them come here!

YUMI (reassuring Milly): Its okay, Milly. No infected
are gonna make their way into this place.

[Milly lets go of Yumi’s shirt then sits back down
and continues drinking her water.]

ODD: You want something to eat, Milly?

MILLY: No thanks, I’m good.

[Just then there is a loud crash as the door and
parts of the wall break apart – the Infected have
found them! William quickly grabs his gun and
begins shooting. He soon realizes that he is vastly
outnumbered.]

WILLIAM (to everyone): We gotta make a run
for it! Everybody, hurry! If we can open the window
upstairs, maybe we can get out that way!

“You better run all day and run all night…”

[Nobody needs to be told twice as William opens the door,
ushers the team through then joins them as they make their
way upstairs. They quickly make their way into one of the bed
rooms. Odd looks out the window and notices a four-wheel drive
parked outside. Meanwhile William has his back against the door,
trying to keep the infected out.]

ODD: Hey William! Do you still have the keys to the car?

WILLIAM: Why?

ODD: Well, maybe we can use it to escape!

[With all their strength, Odd and Ulrich manage to open the
window. One-by-one they all climb out the window, slide down
the roof and land safely on the ground. William then reaches
into his pocket; he grabs the keys and opens the car doors.
They all get inside and close the doors. Yumi is about to get
in when…]

YUMI (looking around): Where’s Hiroki? I can’t see him?

ODD (pointing to the window): Yumi, up there!

[Yumi looks up to see Hiroki standing at the window
frozen with fear.]

YUMI (shouting): Hiroki, hurry up!
We have to get out of here!

[Hiroki doesn’t move.]

YUMI: Just climb out the window and slide
down the roof. Don’t worry, I’ll catch you!

[Just then the door to the room falls down and the Infected
rush in. before Yumi can do anything, they grab him and
take him away. All Yumi can do is stand there in shock.]

AELITA: Yumi, let’s go!

[Realizing her situation, she quickly gets into the car and
closes the door. William gets the car going and they drive
away.]

SCENE: ROAD, ONE HOUR LATER…
[The team are still in the car, hoping to get
as far away as possible from the Infected.]

SCENE: INT. CAR.
[Everyone is talking about what happened at the
cottage. All Yumi can do is think about having to
leave her poor brother at the mercy of the Infected.
She then starts crying…]

Here's what I have for Chapter 2...

28 WEEKS LATER
LAST OF THE INFECTED DIE OUT

HIROKI ISHIYAMA REPORTED MISSING,
PRESUMED DEAD

[It’s been several months since the attack
at the cottage and life has returned to normal.
Between school-time, Odd and William keep
themselves busy by entertaining people with
their band Code: Earth which also includes
Aelita, Ulrich, Theo, Emmanuel, and Nicholas.
Ulrich is in a relationship with Yumi. But all is
not peaches and cream between them because
Yumi still blames herself for abandoning Hiroki.]

SCENE: INT. RESTAURANT.
[Code: Earth, along with Brynja, is on stage,
entertaining the customers. Meanwhile, Ulrich and Yumi
are sitting at a nearby table. Yumi is still depressed.]

AELITA (singing):
Wander through the forest,
Losing track of time.
Lessons in green and gold,
Been growing on for years.

AELITA, ODD, THEO (singing):
I hear voices, leading me on.
Urging me on.

[Brynja then kicks in with her saxophone solo. Yumi
quickly finds the music too upsetting and runs out of
the restaurant in tears with Ulrich following behind her.]

[Eddie Blake]

Thoughts so far...

[lyokofanforever]

I think it's really good! You should post more soon!

[Eddie Blake]

Here's more of Chapter 2. And yes, I have included the dream sequence.

SCENE: EXT. RESTAURANT.
[Ulrich finds Yumi sitting at a bench outside
the restaurant crying. He sits down next to
her. He tries to put his arm around her, but
she pulls away.]

ULRICH: Yumi, are you alright? Tell me what’s wrong!

YUMI (wiping her tears away): Nothing!
I’ve just got something in my eye!

ULRICH: Are you sure it’s nothing to do with Hiroki?

[Knowing he’s touched a nerve, Yumi slaps him hard in the face.]

YUMI: Don’t even pretend for one minute to care about
what I’m going through! Hiroki is dead because of me!

ULRICH: You don’t know that for sure!

YUMI (getting up): Just leave me alone!

[Yumi walks off upset and leaves Ulrich alone
on the bench. William and Odd join him.]

WILLIAM: She’s still upset, huh?

ULRICH (sarcastically): You’re observant.

WILLIAM: Hey, I would feel the same way
if I had left a member of my family behind.

ULRICH: Yeah. I try talking to her, but every time I’ve
gotten to the root of the problem, she gets all defensive.

ODD: Do you still care about her?

ULRICH: Of course. It’s just I feel like
I’m talking to a brick wall sometimes.

ODD: And this whole problem with her feeling
like she deserted Hiroki is just adding more bricks.

WILLIAM: More and more…

[Fade to…]

SCENE: INT. ULRICH AND YUMI’S BEDROOM.
[Ulrich arrives to see Yumi already lying in bed.
He looks at her for a while. After putting on his
night clothes and brushing his teeth, he gets into
bed. Yumi shifts a little so she is lying with her
back to him. Ulrich looks at her some more
before falling asleep.]

(Echoes “I’m talking to a brick wall sometimes…
sometimes… sometimes…”

[These words echo through his mind as he starts to dream.]

SCENE: ULRICH’S DREAM.
[Ulrich is walking along a dirty road. He sees
Yumi in the distance with her back to him. He
starts running as fast as he can to her position.
As soon as het gets within inches of her, a wall
quickly begins building in front of him, separating
the two. He begins banging on the wall, but to no
avail. He begins to sing, hoping that Yumi will hear him.]

ULRICH (singing to Yumi):
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces where we used to talk?
How shall we fill the final spaces? How should we complete the wall?

SCENE: INT. ULRICH AND YUMI’S BEDROOM.
[Ulrich quickly awakens from this nightmare. After taking
a few short breaths, he looks over at Yumi again, only to
see a tear run down her cheek.]

ULRICH: Oh Yumi, what are we going to do?

[He then gets out of bed and proceeds to look out the window.]

“Day after day, love turns grey.
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend it’s alright.
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder,
Nothing is very much fun anymore…”

[lyokofanforever]

wow that's really good..... great job!

[Eddie Blake]

Here's the rest of Chapter 2. Sorry it took so long.

SCENE: THE CITY, NEXT NIGHT.
[Down an alley, a boy can be seen struggling to walk.
He is dirty, bloody; his clothes are ripped and he’s almost
out of energy. He soon sees people walking along the
esplanade and tries to get their attention, but to no avail.
He tries to take a few more steps…

“Is there anybody out there…?”

…before he collapses on the ground exhausted.
Milly and Brynja see this happen and quickly rush
to the scene.]

MILLY: Hiroki! What happened to you?

BRYNJA: What shall we do?

MILLY: Call an ambulance, quick!

[Brynja rings for an ambulance which quickly
arrives at the scene. They put Hiroki onto a
stretcher and put him in the ambulance. The
medical team then get back in and drive away.]

SCENE: INT. HOSPITAL.
[After a quick scrub down, Hiroki is put in
a hospital gown and sent to his room.]

SCENE: INT. HIROKI’S HOSPITAL ROOM.
[While he lies in bed, two nurses proceed to give
him a check-up. One of the nurses soon spots some
marks on his arm.]

NURSE 1: Tell me, did you come in contact with the Infected?

[Hiroki quickly flashes back to several months earlier when
the infected attacked the cottage. He remembers being bitten,
but not becoming filled with rage. He then remembers escaping
the cottage moments later and running for his life. Back in the
present, he turns to the nurse and nods his head.]

NURSE 2: Can you excuse us for a moment?

[The two nurses leave his room and walk out into the corridor.
After shutting the door, they discuss the situation. Hiroki may
not be able to hear what they’re saying, but it’s obvious it
involves him. After a while, the two of them come back inside.]

NURSE 1: Sorry Hiroki, we’re going to have
to keep you here for observation.

HIROKI: Seems fair.

NURSE 2: Is there anyone you know we can contact?

HIROKI: Yumi.

SCENE: INT. ULRICH & YUMI’S HOUSE, LIVING ROOM.
[Yumi is sitting in her chair with no t-shirt on watching TV.
She has now given up all hope of ever finding Hiroki alive.]

VOICES (singing):
Ooooh, you cannot reach me now.
Ooooh, no matter how you try.
Goodbye cruel world, it’s over.
Walk on by.

YUMI AND THE VOICES (singing):
Sitting in my bunker, here behind my wall.
Waiting for the worms to come.
In perfect isolation, here behind my wall.
Waiting for the worms to come.

[Ulrich walks in, he is just off the phone with the hospital.]

ULRICH: Hey Yumi, you wanna hear some good news?

[Yumi is silent.]

ULRICH: They found Hiroki.

[Yumi slowly turns her head and faces Ulrich.]

YUMI: They what?

ULRICH: I said they found Hiroki. He’s in hospital now.

[Yumi happily turns off the TV, gets out of the chair,
puts her hands of Ulrich’s face and gives him a long,
passionate kiss.]

YUMI: That’s the best news I’ve heard in months.

[Yumi then puts her t-shirt on and goes off to see Hiroki.]

SCENE EXT. HIROKI’S HOSPITAL ROOM.
[Yumi arrives at Hiroki’s room and
looks through the viewing glass.]

SCENE: INT. HIROKI’S HOSPITAL ROOM.
[Hiroki is asleep in his bed. The events of
several months earlier play over and over in
his head. It gets louder and louder until Hiroki
wakes up and yells:

STOP!!!

[Everything goes quiet.]

HIROKI (singing):
I wanna go home,
Take off this uniform and leave the show.
And I’m waiting in this cell because I have to know…

[He hears a door open and sees Yumi standing there.]

(Singing to Yumi) Have you felt guilty all this time?

Comments?

I should point out that there's some stuff coming up in Chapter 3 you may not agree with.

[lyokofanforever]

I think it's really great....and that you should post more of it soon! What (if I may ask) would we not agree with in later chapters?

[Eddie Blake]

I'm thinking of having Yumi get infected but It'll be in a sexual way.
