Part 3: Redemption

Private Honda sat beneath a tree in large clearing, ashamed of himself. He couldn’t believe he had just left that fellow soldier to die. Sure enough, looking back on it, there wasn’t much he could have done. But then again, what if he was wrong? The more he thought about it, the more he wished he had acted. Therefore, he could see only one true course of action: rather than fleeing the forest, he would confront the insect, and kill it. This would prevent the beast from reproducing, reaching Tokyo, and taking more lives. This would redeem him. Honda stood up, and drew his knife. It was time to go hunting.

Nearby, in a tree, the Meganulon sat, digesting it’s meal. It could feel eggs brewing in it’s body, but it would need yet more food if it was to lay. So, the Meganulon began descending from the tree, ready to hunt down the last human, and feast on it’s flesh. Already, the pest’s large antennae were picking up the creature’s scent, not far away. With a hiss, the Meganulon began to crawl through the underbrush, following private Honda’s scent. Nearby, Honda walked, knife out, near a large rocky outcropping. From the thick foliage, the ravenous, carnivorous insect watched, mandibles clicking hungrily. And finally, it struck.

The Meganulon lunged from the thick foliage, hissing fiercely and scuttling towards it’s prey. Surprised, Honda leapt backwards, tripping over a low rock and landing on his back. The insect saw it’s chance and went on the attack, it’s mandibles opening as it prepared to slam them shut on Honda’s foot. Quickly, Honda lashed out with his boot and kicked the creature in the face, allowing him the time he needed to get to his feet while it stumbled back. Now, Honda came forward, brandishing his knife, before plunging the blade into one of the insect’s compound eyes. The beast screeched in terror and pain as a fountain of thick, yellow blood flowed from the ruptured organ. Honda wasted no time backing away from the beast, and clambering up onto the rocks behind him.

With a hiss, the now half-blind Meganulon lashed around, looking for the private. From above, Honda leapt, soaring through the air, knife ready, then crashed down on the beast’s armored back. The Meganulon hissed in surprise, thrashing to get the human off it’s back. Honda wrapped his arms around the creature’s midsection, praying that he was not flung away. When the thrashing insect finally came to a stop, Honda raised his weapon high, yelling “Die bug!” before driving the knife down right between the segments of armor. Very deep. The Meganulon’s body went rigid as Honda buried his arm up to the elbow, driving the sharp knife through several organs, causing a pressurized stream of yellow blood to shoot into the air, spraying Honda.

Finally, Honda climbed away as the Meganulon collapsed in a heap of brown and yellow. Breathing heavily, Honda watched the body of the insect for a moment, then turned, heading towards the distant, now visible lights of the damaged Tokyo.

I find the term "Zombie" to be offensive. I prefer to be called Vitality Impaired.
