I can do this.

Hut!

Touchdown!

And Seabrook wins the game!

I did it! Yes!

Touchdown!

Stage two.

Stage two.

Initiated.

Initiated.

Initiated.

Okay, excuse me.

Excuse me.

Stage three.

Bonzo and Eliza.

My plan's working.

I thought of everything.

Great. So how do we stop

the monster from eating

our brains?

Didn't think of that.

Together we can take them.

Yep, totally.

She's much tastier.

No!

Zed! Zed, Zed, Zed.

Take my hand.

Everything will be okay.

Just listen to me.

No, no, no.

Why you taking him?

No, please.

Zed, please come back.

No! Please.

Addison, stay back.

No! No!

Hey! Hey!

Threat neutralized,

we're bringing them in.

Gus! Hey!

These are my friends.

We don't have human friends.

We told you, Addy.

Zombies are not safe.

Give them an inch...

And they'll bite your face off.

They'll bite your face off.

Hey!

That's my son

you're talking about!

I suggest you move along,

Mr. Necrodopolous.

I'll make sure they look

after him. I'm sorry.

Come on.

Zed, please!

Addy, I'm sorry.

Maybe they're right.

Maybe we shouldn't

be together.

What? No.

Don't say that.

Stop!

Hey!

You, did this to him.

All of you.

He was your monster!

You made him feel like he had

to risk his life to belong!

Because you couldn't deal

with someone different!

But you had no problem using him

to win your stupid games!

I wanna scream

Top of my lungs

Not sitting back

Won't hold my tongue

No, some things

are different

Than we thought

There's more to life

Than what we're taught

I'm speaking up

Enough's enough

'Cause I can't go

on this way

I gotta wake up

And be brave

But I know

I'll face the fire if I say

I'm gonna stand strong

Nothing's stopping me,

I'll be loud

You'll hear me now

I'm gonna stand tall

Take it to the top

I'll be free

Can't bring me down

So I'll rise won't turn back

I won't hide who I am

I'm gonna stand

Done living life

Inside the lines

Following the rules

And playing nice

Yeah I'm stepping up

With all my strength

Even if they think

It's a mistake

Won't turn my back,

Won't close my eyes

On the edge

I'll risk it all

It's worth the chance

That I might fall

So I'm not backing down

Believe when I say

I'm gonna stand

Yeah

I'm gonna stand

Oh

How can I just forget

All the things in my head

Just stand

Oh

You just stand

And if I stand will I fall

Trying to knock down

these walls

What if I don't know

Where I stand

Stand

I'm gonna stand strong

Nothing's stopping me

I'll be loud

You'll hear me now

I'm gonna stand tall

Take it to the top

I'll be free

Can't bring me down

So I'll rise

Won't turn back

I won't hide who I am

I'm gonna stand

Yeah

I'm gonna stand

Yeah

I'm gonna stand

Yeah

I'm gonna stand

All right, get out.

We spent some time

in zombie containment.

Not fun.

But it's all my fault.

I thought I was doing

something right

by doing something wrong.

But now all zombies are

getting software updates.

No more "tweaking" them.

Sweet. Eliza,

they have Wi-Fi now.

Too soon?

Cheerleaders steal my computer,

sabotage everything,

yet zombies get the blame.

It was stupid of us

to think humans were

gonna change.

You know what?

We tried doing it

the nice way,

now it's time to do it

my way, all right?

We'll have a zombie uprising.

Force them to make us equal

or we tear it all down.

I've been waiting

my whole life, all right?

I'm sick of waiting.

Your father and I have been

so worried.

What were you thinking?

Hey?

You could have died

adjusting your z-band, Zed.

You don't have to change

who you are, son.

I love who you are.

Yeah, but they don't.

Let's get inside.

With the cheer championship

a few hours away,

Bucky is purging anyone

who isn't anti-zombie.

And that's a lot of people.

What is this? Huh?

Zombie flare?

You're cut!

Oh.

Look at this.

More zombie apparel.

You're cut!

Thank you!

This isn't good.

Bucky, what're you doing?

Don't doubt me.

We are cheerleaders.

We are flawless.

And that is why

we will be perfect

at the cheer

championship tonight.

So we are going to start

at the beginning

and go over it.

Over and over.

Get into position!

I can't believe

they're sending us back

to zombie-only school.

They say it's temporary but

Eliza didn't even show up

to school to clean out

her locker.

You got all of her stuff, right?

Eliza's gonna

sabotage something?

Ya.

What?

The cheer championship.

Ya.

Well, come on.

We gotta stop her, dude!

It's been

a tremendous day here

at the Regional

Cheer Championships.

And we've already seen

a number of

high-flying performances.

You could say

they've been

cheer-tastic.

Well, you can say that.

I wouldn't.

It's a...

It's a made up word,

so...

We're up next.

How is this gonna work?

We're not even half a team.

We'll be great.

I can feel it in my gut.

It feels like a pit

in my stomach.

Well, that is not good, Bucky.

We're gonna crush this.

I've always dreamed

of cheering here.

Just soaring in the air

as the crowd roared.

Flying higher than

anyone's ever flown.

That was a stupid dream.

No. You will fly.

Some day.

As soon as this town

gets over itself.

I thought your parents

didn't want you out in public

with your real hair.

They don't.

But they can't make me

hide it anymore.

I'm not leaving this seat.

No way.

My dad's whole patrol

couldn't get me

out of this seat.

I don't know, Bonzo.

She has to be here somewhere.

There!

It's Zed!

Hmm?

Um, I'm gonna leave my seat.

Go! Go!

Okay!

Hey! No, no, no, no, no.

Put that away!

Stop. Stop.

Everybody stop.

Ow! Get off of me,

you big lug!

Eliza, you can't do this.

What?

Enjoy the cheer championship

with some fellow zombies?

Sabotage?

Wow.

I'm deeply offended.

I'd never.

Okay, maybe just

a little sabotage.

Ruining the cheer championship

is only gonna prove

their worst fears.

That zombies are monsters.

They think that anyway.

At least you have the guts

to stand up for yourself.

I say do it.

Okay, you know what, Addison?

You're not gonna

change my mind.

Wait, you agree with me?

Okay, I like this girl.

Sabotage isn't the zombie way.

It's not who we are.

It's not who you are.

I'm not a monster.

I'm a zombie.

You're a cheerleader.

You're not gonna change

the world through sabotage.

You change the world

through cheer.

Okay, um, so no sabotage?

No sabotage, Eliza.

That's not who I am.

That's not who we are.

Seabrook's up next!

Put your hands together for

our defending champions,

a team that needs

no introduction...

But since we're doing it anyway,

it might as well be

over-blown and flashy.

Here are the almighty

outtasighty Seabrook Shrimp

that are mighty!

Go Seabrook!

Go Mighty Shrimps!

Go Seabrook!

The sweetest type of sabotage.

Self-sabotage.

Seconds in and Seabrook

is literally falling apart.

Get off the stage, Bucky!

What's that'sound?

I- I think

they're booing us.

Oh, there'seems to be

technical difficulties

with Seabrook's audio track.
