The Riders/Origins Pt. 1
My name is Nash Cactus and I was a 22 year old man, standing at 5′7, short dark brown hair and soft blue color eyes living happily on a horse ranch down in Tucson, Arizona. Where all was pretty well. While taking good care of the horses. Until that ill fateful day came. When this huge meteorite came crashing into earth an broke into separate pieces. Scattering across the globe and caused the dead to rise up, mutated a bunch of things and turned the whole world upside down. Changing everything we knew about it.

The Riders/Origins Pt. 2
It’s been over three months since what happened as I was still on the ranch with a few fellow survivors. Using the horses to help hunt for food, but also steer the undead far away from there. Which was going somewhat well, though I was starting to run low on ammo. That would soon force me to try and find some more outside of town. Which was going to be a huge pain in my ass. When my eyes saw somebody lurking around the old grocery store. Which seem to be this scared 17 year old boy, standing at 5′8, ling raven black hair and green color eyes on his own. Who already knew this was bad. Since he didn’t know about the undead lurking inside of there. Forcing me to go save a complete stranger.

The Riders/Origins Pt. 3
Rushing over there I soon got off my horse and headed inside with my wooden spear. Who started looking around until spotting him. Who had managed to kill three of the undead before spotting me with his bloody knife and spoke in a nervous voice. Who are you? I told him. The name is Nash. Now who might you be? He told me while keeping his distance. Andrew....Spring. With me now replying. Listen Andrew, it’s not safe to be in here. Especially on your own. So how about to we leave this place together. Before something terrible comes along to give us both trouble. He didn’t seem sure about this. As I quickly saw a giant spider rushing this way. Until I quickly threw my spear an struck it dead where it stood. Saving Andrew’s life and became good friends ever since. While also calling ourselves The Riders. The brave cowboys who saved the innocent from evil.

The Riders/Food Ride
Andrew an I were riding out one fateful day, searching around the outskirts for some food to eat. Who thankfully manage to find some big berries. Which were a safe food to eat. Since we saw a stray dog eat it once and seemed perfectly fine for us people too. With Andrew gathering some an placing it within a bag. While I was keeping watch for any signs of the undead. An sure enough a few of them were coming our way. Causing me to start stabbing them with my spear. Killing each one of them until they were all dead. That’s when I spoke. We better hurry up. Before something worse shows up. Andrew was about to agree. When we soon heard a very troubling sound.

The Riders/Mad Hounds
Hearing the sound of a sinister laugh. We both knew it was the sound of mutated dogs as I quickly got onto my horse and spoke. let’s ride. He agreed as we got moving right away. Who rode fast as four of them started chasing after us. That were half the size of a motorcycle, dark grey fur and four red color eyes. Who kept riding as I used my pistol to shoot one within the head. Blowing it’s brains out an dropped dead. While the others were still on our tail. With me about to shoot them. When we quickly rode into another problem.

The Riders/Buzzing
Looking ahead of us Andrew quickly shouted. Sting Buzzers! That’s when I quickly turned around and started shooting at the mutated hornets flying ahead. Taking five of them out before running out of ammo. An didn’t really have another clip on me. Which was really bad news. Since I wasn’t too sure on what to do here. Since Mad Hounds weren’t stupid enough to let themselves be stabbed by my spear. When suddenly this unknown male figure, standing at about 5′8, short blond hair and light brown color eyes appeared on horseback. From our far right side. Where the 25 year old man rode in close before he began shooting a bow an arrows at the large dogs. Taking them out an us quickly stopping. To see what he wants.

The Riders/Bow Horseman
Facing the mystery man here I spoke. Who are you? An why did you save our lives? He answered my curious question with a calm expression. A while back, you saved a young woman name Emma. Who was my little sister. Who told me about what you did. An was wondering if you men. Have room for two more people? I now smiled an so did Andrew. So saw no issue with this. With me speaking. The ranch has more then enough room for you two. He was glad to hear it. As Andrew asked. What’s your name stranger? That’s when he told us. The names Drew, pleasure to meet you. Who soon rode off together. Then risk running more dangerous mutant creatures.

The Riders/The Ranch
After picking up his sister Emma, who was hiding inside of an abandon van. We soon brought them both over to the ranch. Where they saw the seven other people here, three of which were only kids. While everyone else were adults. With me speaking while riding forward. Your sister can stay within the bunk house with the others. Since there isn’t much room left in the main house here. Understanding this his sister Emma spoke. I’ve got no issues with that. As we soon dropped her off and headed off to find us some more guns an ammo. Needed to protect the ranch from danger.

The Riders/Third Member
With a third man in our group of cowboys. It was now going to be easier to deal with the zombies an whatever mutated monsters are lurking around. As we began heading towards the west side of town. With a concern Andrew speaking. Say Nash. Why are going over there, where it’s the most dangerous?I told him. Because I’m pretty sure Mr. Ted was still home. When the zombies sadly got him. An might still have his shotgun an shells. Plus some canned food too. Understanding this we kept riding forward here. When we soon spotted some mutant hornets creating a nest further ahead. Along with some zombies lurking around as well. Making this more dangerous then it is already.

The Riders/Torch
Needing to get through here so we could reach our destination. I quickly gave my orders. Andrew an Drew, you handle the bugs. While I deal with the zombies. They both agreed as Drew quickly began shooting them with his bow. Taking three of them out as Andrew pulled out his Flaming Molotov an lighted the rag. Before throwing it towards the nest close by. Setting the entire thing on fire. That began burning all the other mutant bugs inside. While I was riding around on my horse, stabbing the zombies heads with my spear. While also keeping my distance too. So they won’t get my horse. Who kept fighting alongside the others. Until they were all down. That’s when we resume riding forward. Before the smoke attracted something bad.
