"Schneep, I heard you yell-"

"It's Chase, he's turned into a zombie and Marvin's fighting him off, but he's still kind of weak and I don't know how long he can last." Schneep spoke in a rush as he ran into Jack in the hall.

"W-what do we do?" The Irishman stammered fearfully, his face paling as he looked over Schneep's shoulder.

Schneep turned to see that Chase was standing in the hall with Marvin nowhere in sight, his teeth bared as he let out an inhuman snarl.

"Where's Anti and JJ?!" Jack shouted to Schneep as they took off down the hall away from Chase, Jack abruptly colliding with something.

"Ow!" Anti shouted as he fell backwards onto the floor, sending his knife skidding across the tile as Schneep hastily helped him up.

JJ backed up when he noticed Chase drawing nearer, his eyes wide as his hands trembled at his side. 

"What's going on?!" Anti blurted as he scrambled to pick up his knife, the demon glancing behind them to see Chase chasing them.

"Shit." Anti murmured, picking up his knife before moving to stand protectively in front of Schneep, JJ, and Jack.

"Don't hurt Chase-"

"He's not Chase anymore, I can't let other people I care about get hurt by these zombie motherfuckers!" Anti cut Schneep off as he stormed towards Chase with his knife raised.

As Anti moved to decapitate Chase, the zombie ducked under the blade and slammed into the demon, knocking him onto the floor.

"Chase stop!" Schneep pleaded as the pair wrestled on the floor, the German looking up as a set of footsteps rapidly approached them.

Marvin managed to pull Anti away so he got bitten instead of the demon, the magician letting out a cry of pain as Chase's teeth sunk into the skin on his shoulder.

"What're you doing?!" Anti snapped in stunned disbelief as he staggered away from Marvin and Chase, the magician chuckling softly as blood trailed down his bare arm before dripping onto the floor.

"I'm preforming my last trick." Marvin replied with tears in his eyes as he created a portal underneath the trio before closing it behind them, shutting himself off from his friends as Chase attacked.

"No!" Jack screamed as he arrived inside his old house with Schneep, Anti, and JJ, leaving Marvin, Jackaboy, Robbie, and Chase behind.

"Ve need to go back for Jackaboy, he hasn't turned yet, so zhere's a chance he might still be alive. Besides, my notes for zhe cure are still zhere." Schneep interjected, already walking towards the door.

"Doc, you'll just end up getting yourself killed or worse." Anti pointed out gruffly, grabbing the sleeve of Schneep's lab coat to stop the German from reaching the door.

"I can't fail mein friends, I promised that I vould find zhe cure for zhem!" Schneep protested insistently as he roughly tugged his sleeve free from Anti's grip, his blue eyes filled with an ice cold fury.

"You just vant zhem all to die, don't you?!" Schneep accused Anti, shoving the demon away from him with enough force to cause Anti to stagger back into Jack.

JJ stepped between the pair to end the argument, but Anti pushed past him to step back up to Schneep with a bewildered expression as his grip on his knife tightened in rage.

"What? No! In case you forgot, I fucking saved Jackaboy's ass back at the pool-"

"You didn't save him, he still got bit." Schneep reminded Anti coldly, the demon's obsidian eyes flashing with hurt as his gaze dropped to his shoes.

A tense silence filled the air as Anti calmly walked towards the door with his head up, his movements stiff as he flung the door open with a bang.

"Anti-"

Jack broke off as Anti charged at him with his knife aimed at his head and a deep scowl on his face, the Irishman bracing himself for death as he squeezed his eyes shut with a sharp gasp of fear.

THUNK

When Jack dared to open his eyes, he turned his head slightly to see Anti's knife embedded into the wall inches away from his head, the demon pausing in the doorway to look over his shoulder at the trio.

"Use the knife to defend yourselves while I'm gone, I'm going to go save our friends."

With that, Anti turned his back to Jack, Schneep, and JJ so they wouldn't see the tears welling in his eyes, the demon gritting his teeth as he stormed towards the hospital.

Anti could feel their gazes burning into the back of his head as he left them behind, his fingers instinctively curling into fists at his side as he thought of how much they hated him.

"After all I've done, I'm still just their glitch bitch." Anti growled bitterly under his breath, a part of him wishing he had kept his knife as he arrived at the hospital entrance. 

"Here goes nothing." The demon murmured before stepping inside, scanning the area for signs of Chase, Jackaboy, or Marvin as he delved deeper into the eerily silent hospital.

"Hello?" Anti called out tentatively, his voice echoing around him through the empty maze-like halls.

"This place looks like something straight out of a horror game." Anti remarked under his breath as he moved forward down the hall towards the room that Jackaboy was last seen in, the demon holding his breath as he crept down the hall.

"A-Anti,"

Jackaboy ran up to the demon with dried blood still covering his arms and legs where the zombies at the pool had bitten him repeatedly, the hero staggering as he slumped against the wall with a grunt.

"He-help me....please."
