Episode 2 Season 2

Previously on The Walking Hiro
"My name is DespondentCommando. You're Xemeal?"

"What kind of parents named you that?"

"What do you mean? I just typed it into the username bar."

"You're acting like this is a video game or something."

"Whatever, move to the airlock once you're done. You need to decontaminate with your friends."

"Don't dent my Ruger."

"You can trust me not to."

"Alright, now what?"

"Don't move. The spray will get all the pests on your skin and clothes."

"Well, not every pest. Doesn't kill Xemeal."

"You're talking about me here."

Present Day
"Hey, wake up."

"Huh?"

"It's Darky here. Get up, come on."

"What's happening?"

"We have to leave soon. Check out."

"Oh, okay. I didn't unpack anything, so I'm set."

"Have something to eat. Your last meal was yesterday morning, I insist."

"Okay, whatta we have here?"

"A wrap. Boring, I guess."

"I prefer cookies. Or Pancakes."

"I don't blame ya."

Darky takes a bite.

"Mmm.. it's actually pretty good."

"I'm gonna try some."

He takes a bite.

"Not bad. I like it."

A loud speaker comes on.

"Code 283. Staff please proceed to the forward left gates ASAP. Civilians inside please stay put. Do not exit the building at anytime."

"Candy, know what that was?"

"Nuts, yeah. I got some kinda emergency up front. Take some friendly advice, guys."

"Mhm?"

"If you hear another message come on, get out of here. Take the bus cause I know exactly what's happening. I dunno what threat we have, but it's happening now. Get ready to run."

"That's a plan."

Candy dashes off and the group sits back down.

"Code 287. Civilians should hunker at the moment. Staff are currently handling the situation. Do not exit the building at anytime. Until given another message that the threat is gone, do not leave."

"Is that our queue to leave?"

"I trust candy more than that random speaker guy. We have to leave."

"Alrighty. Let's head to the bus."

The group stops in front of the lot. Many hooded figures stare at them.

"Uh... Hey guys."

One steps forward, most likely the leader of them, starts shooting at them.

"a!"

Tiaguh takes his Auto CZ and quickly lawnmowers the crowd down. The shots make the lobby of civilians panic.

"We gotta run!"

"Xemeal, start it! Candy will most likely be at the front!"

"You want me to drive to the threat?"

"We have no other choice."

"I should have run you over when I had the chance."

"Yeah, and I wish that thug shot you."

Xemeal drives the bus out to the main gate. Shots get louder and louder.

"Watch out. We have a problem on our hands!"

"I can see that. Stay out of sight, please."

"That's what I'm trying to do!"

From a distance, Literiot is shooting at some other enemies. Candy is reloading a rocket launcher in a tower.

"Drive to the front, we have to pick these guys up."

"Darky! Got your M1 Carbine?"

"Aye aye."

"Okay, lock and load. Don't miss your shots."

"Since when have I ever?"

Darky puts a bullet through their heads one by one from a distance. Xemeal drives closer.

"Yo! Get in, guys!"

Literiot waves his hand to decline, but then he gets shot at very close to his head. By instinct he slides down and gets inside.

"Close one. Thanks for that. I will contact my squad later."

Candy comes out from the tower and bellows a loud and proud "Fire in the hole!"

A large van approaching the bus explodes in a ball of flame.

"Woooo! Explosives get me giddy!"

Candy comes down and says hi to the crew.

"We got two more. Despondent and Brody."

"Is it worth the risk to grab them?"

"They will come out. I told them to before I came out here."

Xemeal: "They're coming out?"

Candy: "Yes that's them."

Despondent: "Hey! Drive, man, come on!"

Xemeal: "Alright. Drivey drive."

Xemeal takes the bus down an alternate path, avoiding the gunfire.

Xemeal: We're outta there. They're no longer our problem.

Xemeal: "Everyone here?"

Everyone: "Yes."

Xemeal: "We see where we go next. Our new home could be close."

Candy: "I see some abandoned buildings right there. Park here."
