(Last Paragraph is the informative portion of this blog, the first two are foreplay. Enjoy! :)
What I have come here to speak to you of is dangerous, radical, unbelievable, necessary. It is vital to the eventual peace of our race, it is The Refining of the Zombie Virus. My idea is based on the comparison of humans to zombies. A human, when they turn into a zombie, have much of the same physical abilities only they have lost small bit of their intelligence and most of their memories, in most cases. This is one of the side effects of the transformation. The basic goal of my dream is to refine the virus so that it has a smoother transition, making a less painful change from zombie to human without the memory-loss; in addition to increasing the physical and mental capabilities of the newly treated humans or zombies. The ultimate goal, a super-zombie, with which the human race can finally be destroyed and the Phoenix Empire can BE REBORN! (imagine dramatic rallying cry; shouts of excitement; masses of zombies crying, "FOR THE EMPIRE...FOR THE EMPIRE!")
Imagine, a world full of peace among zombie-kind where humans no-longer plague us, existing only as nightmares told to our children to make them take their medicine. A world which was cleansed of the human stench and ushered into a lasting peace at the hand of the Super-Zombie! Refining the Virus so that we can create Super-Zombie similar to Alice, only with the welfare of the Empire at heart; This is what we must do, this is what must be done! (More Cheering)
The movies I picked as my film and zombie-culture sources are the first three Resident Evil films. The element from these movies that clearly represents the possibilities of this endeavor is the effect that the T-Virus has Alice, the main Protagonist. Alice was born with a genetic abnormality which, when she is infected with this virus, causes it to bond with he DNA essentially turning her into a super-zombie. (She is technically a "zombie" because she is still infected with the virus, the only difference is that the virus affected her differently.) She is a perfect example of the dream which I wish to fulfill, a zombie with super-human, no super-zombie strength and agility as well as massively amplified mental capacities combined with psionic abilities. (Psionics being the references to telekinetic and extreme premonitory abilities.)

What does it mean to a Zombie to be "Whole?"
"What does it mean for a zombie to be "whole?" Who ever said that every zombie MUST have this or MUST have that. Why must zombie be pressed into the mold that our previous humans lives have place on us. We don't and we will never have too. WE ARE ZOMBIES, NOT HUMANS!"
When i heard these words, all those years ago from inside the East Coast Phoenix Inc. headquarters, i didn't think about them. I was a guard for the clinc on the ground floor. It was two days before the riots. We all thought they were lunatics, driven mad by their transformation from human to zombie, and that they were just protesting just to protest. The surgeons who were performing the surgical procedures always told us the same thing, "We are doing this to help zombies," and "Humans will keep trying to kill us unless we can relate, this is the first step."
I took me years to realize the truth, that we zombies DON'T need to change. HUMANS MUST ACCEPT US AS WE ARE! A zombie doesn't need four limbs, two hands, a whole head; we are all zombies, no matter what we look like or what we are missing. The zombie prosthetics which Phoenix Inc. was developing to replace the missing portions or body may have been meant to allow zombies to relate to humans, as a foundation for peace, but we are zombies and these prosthetics take away our zombanity. They are meant to control us; they were created to force us to mimic humans and now i see that.
I once used my abilities to protect those who openly sought to bring peace between zombies and humans by uniformity, but our strength isn't in being the same; our strength comes from our diversity, Humans gather strength from their varity in size, shape, and color, but our strength dosen't come from any of those, it comes from our diversity in body parts. Those who are missing an arm are brought closer together through co-operation and those who have only one leg teach others how to trust and support each other.
I believe all zombies are whole and that no zombie needs fake, metal limbs to be a zombie. Our zombanity comes from us, not from how many fingers or toes we have. We are zombies, ZOMBIES. Humans must learn to live with us, not force us to become them. ZOMBIES UNITED!

The Fight
This story is being presented from three perspectives. First, it is describing one side of a conversation between me and a friend when we are discussing a fight that I had watched earlier that day. Second, it is describing the conversation between me and the principal, a conversation where he is interrogating me about what I had seen of the same fight. Lastly, I am teaching students the same two techiques which I described in the previous conversation. This is meant to show just how your terminology changes depending on who your talking to.
Friend:
I couldn't believe it. He swung at him, a full on wild punch; id be surprised if he would have even done any damage if he hit. But he didn't get close. Mark just ducked under and put him in a chicken wing, then he brought him down into a figure four. It was so funny; felt sorry for the kid though. He had no idea who he was fighting.
Principal:
Yes, sir. I was there. No, sir he did not throw the first punch. Yes, sir it was in self-defense. Well, um, he ducked and blocked his punch. It was an accident, if your not careful you can easily break a persons arm with a technique like that; the chicken wing, sir. It was an accident. No, taking him to the ground was just to make sure he could hold until someone came. Yes, that was intentional. It is called a figure four, sir.
Student:
Ok, today we are going to be learning two new techniques. The first is called the Chicken Wing. Here let me show you. Ok, now slower this time. See, when someone grabs your wrist, you first break free, then twist under their arm; but keep your grip on their hand like this. This allows you to manipulate them from behind and lets you guide them to where you want them to go. This works because it is locking their elbow joint and threatening to break it. Careful when practicing this, do it to quick and you could snap their arm. If you want to take them down, as well, you can use this technique instead. It can play off of the chicken wing too, but be careful when you use this......
