Extinction [Saphy/Zombie Event] (Read 721 times)

[avaria nightroad]

Well nothing works; maybe he should just follow her and try to do what she does. Not do everything that she does, but just be silent and follow her like they were walking together to the same place. For now that would be the best thing, and maybe he was right from the start. All the males just talk a lot when they are going after a girl, he knows that from experience. So maybe if he keeps his mouth shut and is nice to her, she would accept him. In the situation they are now, it looks like she doesn't accept her at all.

He didn't take his backpack anymore; he just left it there because there wasn't anything else important in it. The wallet was in his pants and he didn't have anything else that he had to take from the backpack. Now he was just following her and wondering where she would. His only problem would be that if she goes in a house, he won't be able to get in with someone inviting him in. Would have been best to drink some of her blood so he could go in any house that she is in. But he can't just ask her to let him bite her.

It wasn't that hard to not talk, it was rather easy. But something was wrong; as he was not talking he could hear something else. Sounds that should normally be in horror movies. You could hear screams coming from the town, you could see people run away from others that were walking very slowly. Avaria couldn't help, but chuckle when he realized what they were in. This looked exactly like one of the zombie movies that he saw until now. Lucky for them things were exactly like showed in movies. The zombies walk slowly and if you hit them in the head they would die.

Now that was an interesting sight to see. In the name of all that is science, the graphic scene that laid before her at the time truly did belong in something that was deemed fictional. Though she did not stop walking, even with the occasional survivor bumping into her, screaming their lungs off, the girl continued to march on fearlessly. Hell, with her beliefs and her behavioral patterns, fear wasn't even a word that existed in her dictionary. Well, that wasn't entirely true, since she could offer the definition of it, but the emotion of fear was not something she knew of.

Then again, she was a combat oriented cyborg, programmed solely for destruction and elimination.

But yes, back to the situation at hand, the whole northern portion of this town seemed to be in ruins. Stray lacrima-karts randomly abandoned in the middle of the road, debris of broken windows everywhere, collapsed doors, opened windows, it was exactly what one would imagine from a scene in a post-apocalyptic movie. Of course, there were also mortally wounded people walking, chewing on other people and giving them mortal wounds, which in turn turns them into one of the mortally wounded people as well. Such an interesting cycle of life these undead creatures shared. Surely they did not have a pulse, and the only functioning organ within their bodies were the brains.

Surprisingly, this wouldn't be the first time that Rome had encountered these walking dead carcasses. In fact, she recalled something that the scientist had said, during one of her early test phases. 'Prevention was better than Armageddon, so shut your ass and give us the budget money that we need because I'm sure this thing is gonna save your childrens' asses in the future'. So far, she hasn't lived up to the hype just yet, and although she did went through a portion of her now-human life wondering just what her purpose on this earth was, she found it easier to not give a damn and live on until the world ends, or until she meets her end.

The girl knew just how hostile these things were, but it didn't stop her from marching forward still, as she intended to head towards the train station. Yes, a former cyborg with a supercomputered brain, and she hasn't realized that the train station might be potentially closed because of wha was happening, or the fact that it may be overridden with these zombies. But who cares anyway? So long as they leave her alone, she'd leave them alone. Question is, would they?

Well a normal person would worry in this situation, but in Avaria's case there was something wrong. He was worried a bit about the zombies since in all the movies even the ones that manage to survive a lot are eventually overwhelmed by zombies. The reason that he wasn't worried at all was that if any zombie gets too close to him he would just summon his sword and stab it right in the head. Burning the head and killing the zombie too, he didn't want to waste magic on summoning the sword right now. He would just wait to see if any of them attacks him.

Since he is an undead vampire, the zombies might ignore him. The only problem was that he never had that much luck, even if he wasn't attacked yet by any zombie he was still with his guard up. He didn't know if this girl is just as alert as him, she seemed too relaxed even in this kind of situation. Where was she going? Train station? That place would obviously be filled with zombies.

He just sighed, there was no way to convince her not to go there, so he would just follow her and make sure that she is safe. Yes, Avaria would protect her even if she just wants to get rid of him. He couldn't just leave a girl by herself in this kind of situation. Well he wouldn't have left her side anyway since she wants to make her talk.

He wasn't attacked by a zombie right now, but one was after the girl that he was following, and she wasn't reacting at all. She either was too confident thinking that she could outrun the zombie just by walking or she just didn't care at all.

When the zombie was about to grab her by her shoulder and sink her teeth in her neck, all the movements that the zombie was doing suddenly came to a stop. A sword came out of the zombie's forehead and in the next second the whole head starting to burn. In order to save her he summoned his sword, the flaming sword that he found in one of his journeys.

[Rome]

- - - - -

And that question was answered. Clearly, being encased in a body of human flesh had its weak points, especially when she's up against a bunch of scallywagons who pride themselves on feasting upon human flesh and ripping apart internal organs with their unusually strong teeth to begin with. For some strange reason, although a large part of their mortally wounded bodies remain fragile, to the point of their legs losing a large part of the mobility that they once had when they were alive, their teeth seemed to grow a hundred times stronger, being able to rip through bulletproof vests and certain armor.

None of these thoughts fazed the girl, as she even started to nonchalantly feast upon her own bag of cookies. Hey, all the eating that was happening around her only served to increase her appetite, even if it was one of the nastiest ways of eating something that she had ever seen in her lifetime. But yes, as the girl continued walking along the path that would eventually lead her to the train station, she and her unwanted undead peer had attracted quite a bit of attention from the rotting corpses. Of course, their speed was no match for the lightning fast speed of Rome's - and any other human being, for that matter - average walk. Don't get it wrong, she was paying attention to everything, and that was exactly why she did not move out of the way from that zombie's oncoming attack.

See, physics and angular calculations played a big factor in this predicament, as her brain analyzed the possibilities of that zombie taking a bite out of any part of her body with that stance and that position. It wouldn't have been possible, so the danger levels still remained low. At least, until the zombie had a flaming sword penetrated through its skull, subsequently melting and disintegrating its entire body in the process. Now that skyrocketed her senses, to the point of her jumping forward, away from the vampire boy before proceeding to give him and his precious weaponry a stern stare, as if she had expected herself to be the next victim.

To her, those slow-moving walkers aren't the threat here. They weren't the ones holding a dangerous weapon in close proximity to her. He was. And she, was prepared for it.

Well now she reacted to what he was doing. She actually jumped forward scared of his sword. It's not like he would use it on her, so why was she looking at it like that? Did she actually think that he would hurt her with this sword? He sighed slashing a zombie's head that wanted to bite him. It seems that he wasn't safe from this flesh eating zombies either. It would have been cool if none of the zombies wanted to attack him because he was already undead and his heart wasn't beating anymore. But it looks like you need to be a zombie in order to make the zombies not attack you anymore.

Avaria couldn't help, but talk, he had to in order to show the girl that he isn't dangerous at all. That she could trust him with her life in this situation. "Don't worry; I'm not going to use this on you. I'll use it only if one of those walkers bites you and you turn into a zombie. Otherwise, you have nothing to be scared of. I'll actually protect you from these creatures." As he finished his sentence he thrusted his sword towards her, over her shoulder stabbing another zombie right in the head.

"We should either find a safe place where we could wait or this whole thing to end, or try to kill as many zombies as we can. For now the train station can't be used, it's probably infested with these creatures right now." He was right, the zombies had already taken control over the train station; because of that no train would leave anymore. Let's just hope that this girl will listen to him and do what's normal in this kind of situation.

[Rome]

- - - - -

Again, Rome has never really been one to follow the norm. In fact, when she's decided upon doing something, there was little someone could do to actually stop her, whether if it was a good idea, or a really bad one like how she intended to head towards the train station. Who cares if there were hordes of zombies there? Hell, if the trains weren't moving, all she needed to do was to turn the power on and operate it, right? Its not hard for machines to communicate with other machines in a way that normal human beings - or vampires wouldn't ever comprehend. Naturally, the girl was still a bit hesitant when it came to trusting this person and his fiery sword, but for the time being, it certainly didn't seem as though he had intended on hurting her, and he did make it very clear that he would only use that sword against her if she were turned into one of them, which was highly unlikely.

Hell, the moment he thrust his bladed weapon forward, Rome dashed forward herself, dodging the razor sharp edges of the magical weaponry by a mere couple of inches before she propelled herself upwards, using none other than the vampire's head as a launching pad to boost her lower body upwards, just in time for the soles of her feet to collide against the trachea of that unsuspecting sorry excuse for an undead. Perhaps her companion would've seen this coming, perhaps not, but as he occupied himself with the thoughts of trying to impress a potential mate of the opposite gender, she still remained alert, and right off the corner of her eyes, there had been a zombie, leaping straight off the edge of a building. Of course, she had no clue as to how good a living dead corpse's accuracy and hand-eye coordination were, but had that creature landed, it would've probably flattened, and subsequently taken a chomp off the cold turkey flesh from that sex offending blood sucker.

Just as she had previously thought, the weakened and decaying state of that zombie's body had heightened to the point of its entire head flying off. Then again, it could have been from the impact of its fall and the angular position of her well-placed boot. Ah well, she had no interest in figuring out the conclusions of those theories, because right now, it seems as though the two of them were surrounded.

Hordes of zombies perched on each side of the open road. They weren't really moving, but all eyes were definitely set on the both of them. For everyone else, this was definitely a scene that truly defined the sentence 'Oh you done fucked up now', because each of those zombies were eyeing them, as though they were searching for the most tender and juiciest part of their limbs to start off with. There can never be satisfaction when it comes to a zombie's bottomless hunger, but right now?

"Threat detected. Danger levels, rising. Assault mode, engaged."

There was a reason why she hasn't spoken a single word in twenty years, and this was it. These were the only words that would come out of her mouth when she's in her human form, and sure enough, the transformation sequence began. Her skin grew to an inhuman paleness, and her usual pink haired lightened to the point of it being bleach blonde. Her eyes began adapting to the changes as well, retaining the sapphire blue tone, but with the hint of a robotic glow. Her usual clothes melded away, as bits of armor began forming on her neck and torso, down to her bottom half. It didn't make her seem overly terrifying in a sense, because the first thought and sight that anyone would feast their eyes on upon the finished result were one of either two things. Her butt, or her tits, because frankly, both were exposed to a high degree, what with her armor being in the form of a leotard with gauntlets and thigh high boots.

Though it may not be outwardly obvious to anyone, the girl's insides held the biggest changes. Instead of a human heart that pumped blood, she had a human heart that is designed to pump voltage and electrical currents throughout her entire system. In place of her human brain was a chip, and that chip alone held more knowledge than 80% of this earth's population, combined. There were no human bones, either. Only adamantium that had been structurally enhanced by genetic modification of a certain breed of nanotechnology. Her skin and flesh, however, remained largely the same, but due to the lack of typical human veins, arteries, and an organic brain, she hoped that this was somewhat sufficient to grant her an immunity against whatever cursed magical virus that had caused all this.

The biggest problem was that she had no weaponry in this form, but really, who needs it when she's only dealing with a couple hundred zombies? No. This was child's play, compared to all the tests, examinations and field work she had to go through during her experimental phase. Right now, it was the two of them against a horde of the undead, and they were severely outnumbered. There was a simple militaristic strategy in the old guidebooks should they ever encounter a situation identical to this, and that was to shoot everywhere, everyone and everything, because you know you have no allies out there.

And so far, that strategy hasn't failed her once.

The girl's actions really surprised him, she changed her whole form. That proved that he was right, it showed him that she wasn't human. The way she transformed, everything changed to her. What she said first, before this whole transformation made it clear for him as to what this girl was. Now he knew why she wasn't talking so much, why she was so indifferent to everything that was happening and of course why she wasn't reacting at all to him. She wasn't a full human; she was a cyborg or robot. He never remembered the difference between them, but he could guess that a robot is only metal while a cyborg looked more like a human. So saying that she is a cyborg won't be wrong.

Now that he finally heard the girl's voice, it made him a bit happy. She had a nice voice to begin with, so he would spend a little more time with her to try to make her talk more. Even if he would only hear those commands she would give herself in different situations, for now it would be enough. But when he is hungry he would have to find someone else to drink from because this girl being a cyborg, it meant that she was different from a human. So he wouldn't be sure if he breaks his teeth when he bites her neck, she could have only metal under that skin. Or he could drink oil instead of blood, so it was too risky to bite this girl before knowing more about her, or better said more about her body.

Right now they were back-to-back, they were outnumbered. It just looked like a situation where they would surely die. But it wasn't like that; these zombies had no idea that they have to face a vampire and a cyborg. So this fight is not fair at all, this fight is not fair at all for the zombies. Even if they had more numbers than the two of them, they still stood no chance the way they move. The zombies have strength only in their teeth, so as long as the two of them avoid the mouth of the zombies they would be safe.

"So are you going to talk to me now? To make a plan? Or are you going to stay silent, like you did until now?" Avaria was sure that she won't talk with him even in this situation. So there was only one thing he could do, with a small sigh he just said. "You take care of that half, I take care of this half. After that if you want, we can find a place to spend the night." With a snap of fingers from each hand he used a spell twice. Doing that he consumed half of his mana pool, but he summoned two hell dogs to aid them in fight. The dogs looked ferocious, all black; they looked just like two oversized pit-bulls. "Kill all the zombies; crush their heads to be sure they are dead. Don't hurt the girl or me." Those were the only orders that he needed to say. The dogs charged at the zombies and started to do what they were told.

By the time the male vampire summoned up his hounds and gave them their orders, the revived cyborg had already dashed forward, picking up one of the stray metal poles that probably belonged to one of the light posts that had fallen down due to the chaotic nature of these beasts. No matter. In a few minutes, they'll all be nonexistent anyway, so why bother reminiscing on their actions? Twas the common nature of humans as well, to reflect upon things that have happened so long ago. So they claim to show appreciation for what their ancestors have done in the past, but time and time again they've repeated the same mistakes, slowing their own evolution. And not just that, but as time goes on during their time living on the surface of this planet, they've dirtied it. Contaminated it with their presences. Take, for example, these zombies. They were once human too, were they not?

Rome sensed some traces of a few survivors in the back alleyway to her left, and some of them were hiding up in the rooftops, keeping as quiet as they possibly could, which was exactly what they should do if they wished to live through this. However, their safety was of no concern to her, because it wouldn't affect her own well being should they survive. Although there was a point in keeping them alive, just for the sake of minimalizing the number of undead that she had to slaughter.

Just as she started charging towards her side of the enemy territory, they started moving as well, except.. in a much slower pace. With a metal pole in one hand and her fist on the other, the girl started cleaning house, utilizing her combat expertise to turn even the most unsuspecting items into the deadliest weapons around. At one point, the cyborg simultaneously skewered three separate zombies right between their eyes before she was able to use her enhanced strength to retrieve the metal rod.

Hell, during a small period of time in the fight, Rome found herself being surrounded by a closing circle of those creatures, but she still managed to keep all of them at bay by following one of the most important, yet simplest law of physics known to mankind - what goes up, must come down. And that pretty much happened when the girl used her metal rod and wedged it between two separate heads of those oncoming zombies, kicked and swept the remaining few off their feet and depraved them of their balance, before using the aforementioned rod in a way similar to how she used the vampire's head earlier on, albeit in a more spectacular fashion. With her upper body strength and leverage, she pulled herself up until she was actually standing on the thin metal pole. She had no idea if it would've been able to support her weight, or if the newly created orifices on the two zombies' heads would've been able to restrain from breaking down, but she took that chance. Balance was the key here, and as soon as she got up and regained said balance, she proceeded to deliver one of the sweetest soccer kicks to a zombie's head, sending it flying towards another unlucky Walker, which then sent the back of his head crashing against the wall.

With that unintentional circus act aside, Rome then proceeded to jump upwards before slamming down on the ground with her full force, breaking her trusty metal pole in half, but the impact alone was enough to crush the heads of those zombies she tripped earlier on. On the plus side, she gained two new weapons in the form of two separate metal sticks. There was still a lot of them to go through, but this was definitely.. interesting, to say the least.

Seeing the girl how she fights, how destructive she is, it would make Avaria think twice before attacking her to bite her neck and drink some of her blood. That if she has any blood, she could actually play a prank on him, let him bite her and then he would see that she has oil instead of blood. That would be very cruel, but seeing as how she is a cyborg who barely talks and interacts with others that kind of prank would never happen. Except if Avaria manages to turn her robot heart into one that has feelings. She would surely enjoy playing pranks on Avaria, or on others; who doesn't enjoy playing pranks?

Right now there was no time to just stay here and daydream. He had to take care of some of the zombies and find a way to get out of this place. Even if the rune knights asked them for help until the mages from Lamia Scale arrive; that didn't mean they have to do their whole job. But watching the cyborg fight, they would surely end up defeating all the zombies. That's why he couldn't fall behind; he had to kill more zombies than her. Avaria couldn't just let the girl do the job that he could easily do. So right now he should stop killing only the zombies that get too close to him; he has to go towards them and slice the head of each and every zombie. The dogs that he summoned were already doing that, they weren't slashing the heads of the zombies, but they were crushing their heads with the strength they have. He should summon a third dog so thing would go faster. But then he would use too much energy. He has a sword in his hand, he could use it to slice the head and burn the zombies. Only a simple touch with the sword on their head should be enough to burn it and kill the zombie.

Charging towards the zombies Avaria started to swing his sword left and right. These weren't the movements of someone who just started to use the sword. He was aiming to strike as many as possible with the sword. The sword was sharp enough to easily cut the face of the zombie or slice the head in half, and if they were still alive after the sword touched them, it wouldn't be a problem. Where the sword touched them they started to burn, and the fire was engulfing their whole head finally making the zombies fall to the ground. The smell of rotten burned flesh wasn't something someone would enjoy feeling, but if he wants to make sure that he would be alive by the end of the day. It's a smell that he has to get used to it.

That did not smell like cookies.

The scent of burning flesh in particular was often one that made normal human beings choke and throw up, and it certainly wasn't a type of odor that Rome enjoyed. She did, however, have a filter mechanism in her head that allowed fresh air to seep through her nostrils instead of her having to breathe in that foul smelling nastiness. It may not be the biggest problem she was facing now, but thankfully she was able to cope with it. Otherwise, she would've probably walked over and gave that stupid vampire a tight slap across his face that might result in a broken jaw, or even a fractured skull if he was that unlucky.

The cyborg continued with her onslaught, using innovative and purely unorthodox techniques in different variations so it wouldn't seem as though she was doing the same thing twice. It all came naturally to her, as the ideas that were formed in her head flowed naturally through her system, intertwining with the robotic nanomuscles of her body. In short, her mind was the core of influence for the outward fluid motions of her fighting style, however unnatural it was. Though the same could be said about her when she's in her plain human form, it took a lot more time, energy and effort before she's able to finally master the whole thing.

After a few more moments hacking and slashing her way through the horde of zombies that seemed endless, her newfound weaponry seemed to have crumbled under the constant force of being driven through copious amounts of undead heads. Since it had proven to be a valuable commodity in her arsenal, Rome gave it the proper respect that it deserved - by burying both of the short metal sticks into the eyes of an unsuspecting Walker and nailing it to the wall with a sickening thud.

By now, the girl was smeared from head to toe in random bits of skin, flesh, blood and the occasional inner organ. The most impressive thing about her was not her combat skills, but her calm demeanor in dealing with things like these. One would presumably get increasingly tired after massacring a hundred or so of these former human beings, but Rome hasn't broken a sweat, much less wear herself out. Secretly, in the back of her mind, the now-blonde cyborg wished for more competition. She hasn't utilized this form in twenty years, so for what its worth, she hoped that something worthy might actually show up.

Little did she know, she would actually get that chance soon.

This was getting boring; they were doing the same movements that they started with. Slashing left and right, or in Rome's case smashing left and right. It was getting boring, the zombies were moving slowly and so there was no chance for them to get to either Avaria or Rome without getting a sword or a pole in the head. For now Avaria just wished that they would finish faster with these zombies, or their help from Lamia Scale and the Rune Knights would get here faster. Since there was one more problem besides the one of him getting bored with killing zombies, the biggest problem was that he would get hungry. Even if these creatures were dead, and it would be bad for him to drink their blood. If the fight would go on and he won't get something to drink he would go mad.

Maybe he should stop using this blade since the blade burns everything it touches, the air was now filled with a disgusting smell. That's why he made it disappear, and using his vampire strength he pulled out a pole. The pole still had some cement at the end that was in the ground. The cement didn't last on the pole too much since he smashed it in the head of a zombie crushing it. "Ugh ... I'm getting hungry." His eyes were slowly starting to get brighter. He had to control himself, the blood he had a few hours ago wasn't enough to keep him sane in a fight.

There weren't too many zombies left; next thing he should find is a hospital. Even if it is zombies infested he would go through every one of them and crush their head, slice them in two. He would paint all the walls in that hospital with the sickening blood of the zombies. All of this just to get to his prize, the sweet blood bags that every hospital has in their fridge. All of the blood bags that he would find there, would satisfy his thirst for a long time. Maybe he could stay in there for the time of the zombie invasion.

This whole situation was funny; this girl he just met was turning him crazy in more than one way.

[Rome]

- - - - -

In more ways than one, this entire catastrophic event seemed pretty easy to deal with. By no means was Rome the perfect replication of the killing machine that she once was, nor did she possess half the prowess that she had during that period, before she undergone her reluctant change into a human being, just like how these people underwent a change that they tried to reject, but couldn't. Was she any different from these zombies? Well, yes, if you compared them from a physical and mental standpoint. Spiritually, however, they were of the same kin. Granted, she was still alive and they probably wouldn't be able to recollect any memories and human conscience that they once had, but their circumstances were more than similar.

The girl knew for a fact that 'guilt' was not something a cyborg like her would've truly understood, especially since she knew that she was massacring almost all of the townsfolk that once called this place home, but to this day, she harbored a grudge to those people that were responsible for the assassination of the entire laboratory that had been the sole reason of her successful creation. Even that one person whom she referred to as her 'Father', died before her very eyes while she was still confined in a stasis state, her body stored in one of those experimental tubings, filled to the brim with a murky green substance.

And so, she treated every battle as if she were fighting those thugs that ravaged the lab on that fateful day. She knew nothing about the identities of those people, and until this day, she hasn't caught a lead. There was definitely an organization somewhere out there that was associated with those heinous acts, but until she actually gets her hands on them, she held all of humanity responsible for what happened, hence her inability and lack of interest in their well being.

Her previous wish, however, was granted. As she was busy trying to finish off the remaining zombies and putting them out of their miserable damnation, the cyborg felt a strong vibration from where she stood. Rome wasn't sure if it was her own sensitivity that enabled her to detect such strong movements, but someone- something, was definitely coming.

Thump.. Thump.. Thump.. Thump.. Thump.. THUMP!

The footsteps progressively got louder and louder, and suddenly, everything grew eerily quiet. Well, as quiet as it could get with the sounds of those zombies squirming around hissing everywhere. From down the street, the girl could see a small stray dog, running as fast as it possibly could, scurrying off in the other direction from whence the sounds came from. It would be at that moment where a freakishly loud, freakishly depressing wailing scream blasted through the town, right before a heaping chunk of gargantuan mass appeared, standing well over fifteen feet tall. The imposing figure stood a long way away from where the two of them currently were, but with another piercing scream, it ran, smashing and swiping away the zombies that are in its path.

The strangest thing about that creature was how it looked. It seemed.. humanoid, in a sense. But was it truly.. once a human?

Loud noises, loud noises were never good. Loud noises meant either a big monster or a big helping force. The problem was that help would get where they are only in fifteen minutes. So the only thing left is that something big and bad is coming. If that would happen nothing would go too well for Avaria. He would have to fight even more, then his blood thirst would get even stronger. All this until he would turn into a beast who wants only to drink blood. During that primal state he would go after the blood of the zombies and he would surely turn into one of those creatures.

This creature looked like a female. Why do all the bosses look like females with big chests almost uncovered or males that are fully armored? All these video games and movies are slowly starting to take over the reality. That wasn't important at all right now; the important thing is that Avaria has to get rid of that creature fast. Meaning that he would have to summon his sword again to use it against this creature. He would have to pollute the air again with the stench of burned zombie flesh, he would have to use even more of his power and he would get even hungrier. Now even if he doesn't want to, he would attack Rome too if he won't be stopped.

He looked at the cyborg girl; his eyes were filled with hunger. "After we defeat this thing, just knock me out fast. My hunger is rising too fast. You can leave me after that here, but I don't want to know that I hurt you." His eyes changed back at the large creature, the flaming sword in his hand again and more fierce than ever. Increasing his speed he rushed towards the large zombie and managed to get a cut on its leg, but it wasn't enough. It made just a small burn mark on the leg, and it made it very angry. Trying to attack Avaria with one of the tentacles it had. He only managed to escape that attack because he had a vampire's speed on his side, he rolled to the right, away from the angry creature.

[Rome]

First thing's first, it had only occurred to Rome that the creature they were witnessing before them was potentially one of the townsfolk. For some strange reason, she - because it was definitely a she, and if anyone says otherwise they'd probably be blind - had undergone a mutation that was far severe, compared to all the other normal zombies around. Although there might be an actual scientific explanation for that, the cyborg had too little factual evidences to prove, or even form a theory at this time. One thing's for sure. Everything happens for a reason, and this mutation was not excluded from those logistics.

Also, the danger levels that the feminine creature showed on her power level scanner was almost a thousand times higher than any other ordinary zombie. To be more specific, Rome had absolutely no idea what she was dealing with here, and she'd assume that, just like most zombies, if you went for the head, which was probably the most protected area that creature might have, they'd go down like their normal, less evolved counterparts.

With such a high level of threat detected, it was only natural that the cyborg would take on a higher powered form as well. Briefly, she made eye contact with some of the survivors whom had been taking shelter atop the roofs of several buildings, and with zero verbal communication, managed to give them the warning that if they wished to survive, this was their chance to get themselves to a safer place. It wasn't because she cared, oh no, it was because she'd rather not have to deal with more of those mutated ugly freaks if somehow, they were able to multiply and spread their viruses to other survivors. One of these were hard enough to be dealt with.

"Chaos Mode, engaged."

As another quick sizzle of light enveloped her body, the girl's blonde hair darkened, elongated and thickened to the point of it resembling an oily substance. Her pale skin had been consumed by a shade of blue, with neon blue asymmetrical circuitry lines decorating various parts of her body from her exposed naval up to her face. For the most part, the position of her armor remained largely unchanged, but the material and the magical enhancement of it proves to be far superior than the first. Both her arms are still considered to be normal for the time being, with the only exception being the glowing neon lights on her gloves, though it won't remain like that for long.

Without even integrating or forming a strategy, the brash vampire charged forward, making a small burn on the side of the creature's leg. He nearly got caught, too, but thankfully for him, his speed was either just a little above the creature's, or was on par with it. But as expected of a mutated monstrosity, the wound on its leg healed up as if nothing had happened.

For now, the girl chose to stand her ground, surveying the battle from her position instead of marching forward without a plan. She would take her sweet time to come up with one, since the stupid male bloodsucker had involuntarily volunteered to be the distraction. Unbeknownst to him? There was more to the creature than he's thought, because as soon as her first strike failed, it maneuvered its tentacles to close in on him from both sides, so that alone was enough to show Rome just how tactical this creature can be. And to even come up with tactics, the clear usage of a brain is needed.

Briefly, the cyborg noticed a familiar symbol that was plastered on the back of the creature's uniform. Unlike most Knights, this one actually wore her uniform around, but yes, her suspicion had been confirmed. A regular human being had undergone a mutation, merging with whatever it is that started this whole outbreak and turned itself into a creature that was beyond powerful, yet was somehow able to retain a form of human-like thoughts, as shown when it implemented a strategy to be used against its offender.

Okay, it should have been obvious that a boss-type monster should be able to heal itself. Where's the fun if they can't do that, how could they ever have fun if they are not given only a single way to defeat the monster? That way being by stabbing its head, the even funnier thing would be that if they don't the creature through the head or crush its head it won't die. Like they would have to find a new way to get rid of the monster. If those things won't happen, this whole battle won't be fun at all.

Enough with all the complaining, it won't solve anything if all you do is to complain about how unfair life is. Or in this case how unfair could the powers of the undead be, it wouldn't solve a thing. What would solve this whole situation they are in could be solved if they hatch a plan that would get rid of the monster. But seeing as how the robot girl doesn't reply to anything he said until now, coming up with a plan where they would work together in order to get rid of the monster seems like a thing that would surely not happen.

Right now Avaria wasn't wondering how he could defeat this creature. What was in his mind right now after seeing the girl transform again, was how many transformations this girl has. One would have been enough, but she pulled another one that looks cooler. Why didn't she just go last form from the start? Maybe she didn't think it would necessary since the zombies they were fighting were not worth too much effort. So that could be the reason she picked a form when they were fighting weak zombies, and picked to turn into something stronger when the big one appeared.

He should stop thinking at anything else except on how to defeat this monster. Since this monster wasn't waiting for him to think on what to do, it was already trying to get Avaria using its tentacles. That's when he backed even more until he was limited by a building, but he was far enough from the tentacles to be safe. "You are not touching me with those, I saw enough porn to know how everything would end if those things catch me. It wouldn't be pleasant for me." He then noticed something that could save him. On the other building there were some humans, the type of humans that didn't turn into zombies. With all this commotion he could go in a building and get one to drink its blood. That way his thirst would be satisfied. He didn't wait any longer; he just entered the closest building to him and closed the door behind him. For now he would let Rome deal with the monster.
