A week has passed since they found the enigma slug and yet YN was still figuring out what exactly was the enigma slug trying to show him. But for now he decided to leave that aside, for today is their time off from tons of mission they've done. Now we see the Shane gang riding on their mechas to the large mall.

Eli: Wow, now that's a mall.

Trixie: (Grin.) First stop, arcade! Got a high score to defend.

Kord: (Grin.) Yeah, you won't be so lucky this time.

YN: Same me a spot for the arcade, gotta buy me some new boots. Maybe a new blaster along the way.

Pronto: Play your silly games, but Pronto is here on a mission.

Kord: (Confused.) Mission?

Pronto: To acquire a new handbag.

YN: (Stern.) Really?

Pronto: What? I Ned more pocket.

YN: Just be sure you clean that one when your done with it or something.

Eli: This was a great idea guys. A little downtime is exactly what we need.

Once they park their mechas, they head inside the mall.

YN: Man, I hope they got some smoothies after we go to the arcade. That's the best part of this mall.

Eli: Really?

Kord: (Smiles.) You're gonna love this Eli, its got everything.

Eli: Everything except people.

They arrive at the center of the mall and realize the entire building is empty.

Eli: Are we early?

Trixie: Maybe its closed?

YN: No way, I've check the schedule before we arrived.

Suddenly they hear groans as it got closer and they turn around to see zombies.

Eli: Well, that would explain it. Zombies.

YN: Oh, you mean the living dead?

Eli: Pretty much.

Pronto was about to run to safety but Eli stops him.

Eli: Every Halloween my dad and I would watch a zombie movie marathon together, so I know what I'm talking about.

YN: Have you actually ever fought them before?

Eli: Well, I know some rules about this kind of situation. The first rule of zombie infestation, don't panic.

Trixie: Uh, what's the second rule?

Eli: Zombies are scary, but slow and only dangerous in numbers. If we make our way calmly to the exit, we should have no problem getting-

Suddenly the zombies roars and runs towards the gang.

Kord: Slow!? Your zombie rulebook needs an update bro!

YN: Definitely not like the stories my mom told me.

Eli: Rule number 3, run!

They all run to safety while being chase by the herd of zombie. Luckily Eli blast a frostcrawler to slow them down. More of them came as they blast their way until they made it to a place to hide from them.

YN: OK, I think they're gone for now.

Eli: Whoa, way more like the mad science movie living dead zombie ate my brain than the rotting reanimated kind from all the lurching dead.

Trixie: Back up, first zombies. Second, zombies!

Suddenly they hear something moving in the room.

YN: Stop, somethings in here with us.

They got their blaster ready before someone appears carrying a lot of blasters.

They begin blasting each other until Eli blasted jewels at him which shock him.

???: (Groan.) That's really smart.

Eli: Come out of there!

The stranger did exactly what he said and it reveal to be a mall cop.

Eli: Thought you were a zombie.

Millard: Millard Milford, security slinger.

Suddenly YN shoots Wrecker at him which knocks him back.

Trixie: Uh, I don't think that guy was a zombie.

YN: I know. (Deep voice.) The perfect murder....

Short time skip

After they've introduce themselves, the security explain everything about what's been going on for the last 12 hours. The entire mall is been infested by zombies and wait for the calvary to arrive.

YN: Man, and you've been holding the fort all by yourself?

Millard: Yup, while waiting for the calvary of course.

Trixie: If we wait here, zombies are gonna find us and haul us off too! No offense.

Millard: Vigilantes like yourselves may not respect them all badge, but my brothers and baby blue look our for our own.

YN: Well, when you put it that way it makes sense. Outlaws or sheriffs.

Eli: But with your knowledge of the mall and our help, maybe we can escape now. Together.

Millard: Hm, take the enemy off guard... (Smiles.) I like your plan Shane man. But we'll need supplies, hardware store.

Kord: But we're arm to the teeth.

Eli: No, Millard's right. We're gonna need need a length of garden hose, a tube of a epoxy, 3 roads flares, a ball peen hammer, and a pack of jerky.

Trixie: (Confused.) What for?

Eli: Not sure, in the movies, the heroes get zombified before they can use any of it. But we'll figure something out.

YN: Dibs on the jerky.

Pronto: Got it! The perfect handbag!

After they discuss with the plan, they split up. The gang heads to the hardware store while the security sacrificed himself by drawing the zombies away for the Shane gang heading 2nd floor safely.

Pronto: Who knew a security slinger would become almost as noble as Pronto himself.

Eli: He was a brave man...did he said the hardware store was to the left or to the right?

Everyone: Uh....

YN: There's gotta be a map somewhere.

Pronto: Ah I see it.

They see Pronto pointing at the map as they go and check.

Pronto: If we are the eggs, the candle store is uh, no, no, no, no.

While Pronto is figuring out the location, YN spotted zombie near.

YN: Uh guys, we got company!

They ran from the zombies until one grabbed YN from the foot and caused him to fall. Out of instinct, he kicks the zombie by the face and break free though cost him to lose his right boots.

Eli: There, into the hardware!

Kord opens the door and they enter. YN slide through it before they close the door as the zombies passed by.

YN: Oh man, that was close.

Eli: Least you made it, sorry about your boots though.

YN: I was planning on getting new ones anyway. Speaking of which.

YN spotted brand new working boots. Not exactly like cowboy boots, but better as it has steel toes for protection.

YN: (Smirk.) Limited sales offer, sweet.

Eli: Well, the good news by this point I'm a zombie movie, the team is always down by 2. So even without Millard, we're kinda beating the odds.

Kord: Great, but anyone seen Pronto?

They all look around and realize he isn't here.

YN: Oh floppers...

Eli: Okay, nobody panic. We just need a foolproof plan to find and rescue Pronto and clear out without becoming zombie chow ourselves.

YN: I'm pretty sure by the time we find him, he'll be a zombie.

Kord: Either way, we can't get out or else we're on the next menu.

Eli: In movie, I stalked with a zombie, the heroes attempt to rescue their friend by cutting their way through the ceiling and....then they get chomped. But in Postmortem peak, they made their way to safety through the air ducts...until they got chomped.

Trixie: Eli forget the movies. This is real life. Pronto's missing and we need to figure out what's going on here.

Just then someone was knocking the door as Eli takes a peek from the window to see its Pronto.

Eli: Quick, open up! Its-

Kord opens the door to see its Pronto who's now a zombie.

Eli: -Pronto?

Zombie Pronto: Aaargh!

YN immediately hits Pronto with a piece of wood which knocks him out.

Eli: YN! That's Pronto!

YN: What'd you expect, he's a zombie!

Pronto then gets back up as he goes and scavenging for something rather than eating his friends.

YN: Uh, are zombies supposed to do that?

Eli: Not even close.

Trixie and YN takes a closer look at Pronto as she waves her hand in front of him and yet doesn't pay attention.

Trixie: Huh, like we're not even here.

Eli: Probably for the best, considering a hungry zombie will be trying to eat our brains. Pronto's not rotting or even oozing. For a zombie, he's remarkably healthy looking. Maybe we can still cure him, but we won't know unless we get out there and find out what's causing this.

Trixie: The moment we step out there, aren't we zombie bait!?

YN: Can you guys just stop for a minute!? I'm trying to think!

They became silent while YN thinks until Eli breaks it.

Eli: Uh, what is it?

YN: Something doesn't fit right, Pronto would've eaten us the second he entered and yet he's just scavenging for something.

Trixie: Wait, so you're saying that he's not a zombie?

YN: Yes and no. Not like the ones Eli knows, rotting or oozing, just healthy. And then there's his eyes.

Kord: Uh, what do you mean?

YN: You see that their eyes are like swirling a like?

Eli: So like he's been hypnosis?

YN: Yeah, there's only one thing I know that can do that very easily.

Kord: (Realize.) The hypnogrif slug.

YN: Correct, only this time its a ghoul version hypnogrif.

Eli: You know one of those slugs?

YN: Yeah, and knowing that kind of slug, there's only one guy I know who'd use it a lot. But I can't be certain about it. We need to find it and stop it.

Trixie: How are we gonna do that through a whole lot of zombies? They'll see us the moment we're out.

Just then, Pronto accidentally toss the white paint away and it fell to the ground as this gave Eli an idea.

Eli: (Smirk.) Not if they notice us.

Eli picks it up and paint himself to look like one. The others did the same and picks up red glasses to blend in as they let Pronto leading them to the source. The plan goes well as they pass through the zombie couple and Kord was about to knock them out until Eli stops him and shook his head not to do it.

   Kord nods as he wipe the sweat off of him before they continue onward.

Eli: These zombies aren't decaying, they're like Pronto. We might be able to help them so don't hurt them.

YN: Well just in case if I'm wrong about the hypnosis stuff. Don't let them bite you or eat your brains.

Trixie: Skull stays closed. Got it.

Just then, they ran into a zombie family as they saw the gang. They quickly act like zombie to blend in.

The family notice Kords face wasn't painted which made them growl.

Kord: (Whispers.) Uh guys?

Trixie: (Whispers.) Kord, you disguise!

Eli: So much for stealth.

Eli quickly shoots his Tormato slug to knock them out before running away. Soon they notice that the zombies are looting instead of eating brains as there are two normal couple walking by.

Howard: Sylvia, don't you give them money.

Sylvia: Goodness Howard, these aren't bitters. I know exactly what this is. Its one of those flash mobs the kids are into. Performance art.

The Shane gang tried to warn them but the couples thought they were playing out.

Sylvia: See Howard? They're friendly and you two are adorable. (Smiles.) Ooh, Howard! Take a picture!

Howard: (Picks up a camera.) You're only encouraging them Sylvia.

YN: (To the gang.) Is it me or are they pretending like this is all normal? I mean its like they've went through this before.

The gang shrugs before they notice the zombies are taking them somewhere as they quickly pull their blasters out until Eli stops them.

Eli: Not here! We follow. Maybe we'll find answers.

YN: Not like we have much choice now do we?

They follow them until they've arrived to where the other zombies are gathered. YN looks around and notice familiar man with a staff.

YN: Guys, its him.

Eli: Who?

YN: Mr Saturday. The voodoo slinger.

Eli: Why's he called The voodoo slinger?

YN: Watch.

Saturday begins to use his ghoul and turns the couple into zombies slaves.

Trixie: (Whispers.) No way.

YN: Eli, let's keep them distracted. I have a plan.

Eli nods as YN quietly leave without being seen.

Eli: Unghouling that slug is key to reversing this. Doc, you up for this?

Doc nods as he loads the slug in his blaster. However, the ghoul slug notice them and warns Saturday of the Shane gang which he smirks evilly.

Saturday: Are there any free thinker among us?

Saturday then commands his slaves to face the Shane gang as they're caught off guard.

Saturday: (Smirk.) Well, I suppose I'll have to do something about that.

YN POV

I watched zombie Pronto snatches their blaster and use it against them. Luckily I took the opportunity to sneak out before Saturday notice, so this means we have the element of surprise. I pull out my long shot blaster and pick a slug.

YN: Alright Doc, its up to us. You're ready?

Doc nods as I load him in my blaster. The Doc that Eli had was Blindsight disguised as Doc. I take aim at Saturdays blaster where his hypnogrif, but suddenly I was caught by a group of zombies.

YN: Crud...

After they snatch my long shot blaster, they took me to where the Shane gang as Saturday's surprised to see me.

Saturday: Well, well, well, if it isn't LN. aren't you the bold one to go alone, did you really think I wouldn't leave enough of my minions around while I caught the Shane gang?

YN: Anything is possible. Ghoul slug or not, you haven't impressed me yet.

Saturday: Oh but this time I will.

Eli: I'm guessing you got a back up plan?

Alright, time for plan B.

YN: ....Nope, this guys one step ahead of me. However, (To Saturday.) You're forgetting one most important lesson that you'd should know.

Saturday: Hm?

YN: (Smirk.) You gotta be one blaster ahead of anyone. Now Mike!

I quickly pull out my dad's blaster and shoot Mike to tosses the blue balls everywhere before landing on my shoulder.

YN: Listen up cuz I'm only gonna say this once! There's two way of ending this. Either surrender yourself.... Or I'll blow this entire mall down!

Saturday: Haha! You're bluffing!

Kord: (Whispers.) Uh, you arle bluffing right?

YN: Nah, I'm just crazy. But care to test that out?

Mike smirks as his antenna glows.

Saturday: (Shock.) You wouldn't!

YN: (Smirks.) Try me.

Saturday aims his blaster at me until I realize I forgot about the most important thing to say.

YN: Oh no! I forgot to mentioned something very important!

Trixie, Kord, Saturday: (Confused.) Huh?

YN: (Face palm.) I was a distraction this whole time.

3rd POV

Just then Saturday heard a blaster and he saw it was Eli who's snatch and using my long shot blaster to shoot Doc directly at his staff. Curing the ghoul as the zombies transformed back to humans.

Eli: Nice distraction YN.

YN: Yup, couldn't have done it crazier. Shows over Saturday- wait, where did he go?

We see Saturday is running to the exit to escape.

Saturday: (Smirk.) He who ghouls and runs away, lives to ghoul another-

Just then the calvary cuts him off as they aim their blaster at him.

Saturday: -Oh...

YN arrive just in time before Millard slides down from the stairs.

Millard: (Grin.) Got news for ya Saturday. You're not heading to some cushy eastern country club prison, you're going to mall jail!

YN: Is that actually a thing?

Millard: This mall does got everything.

YN: Good point. He's all yours then.

The securities take him away while YN meet his friends at their mecha beast they've parked as Millard arrive to congregate them.

Millard: For services rendered, (Offers Trixie card passes.) Lifetime passes to the arcade.

Trixie: Wow! Thats-

Millard: (Wipes it away.) Insulting yeah I know. I told up stands you'd never take them as a reward. You're heroes. (Smiles.) Been a real honor.

YN: Can we at least take it for souvenir? To remind us of the good things we've done.

Millard: Well, when you put it that way sheriff, I can't argue about that. (Hands it to Trixie.) Until next time.

Eli: For now, only one place we're gonna get real down time.

Trixie: Right, let's go home.

They ride their mechas home as the security guard watch them leave.
