"What do you mean?" The shotgunner asked. "You two managed to save Shrak? Care to explain?"
English
-
"Sure, sure. At the heart of Shraak, past all of the zombies and destruction, and in fact within the throne room, me and my sister encountered some...creature. It was feminine and dark, corrupted and impure at heart." "...Cleaved it's head off, and apparently...that stopped the zombies, and got us a visit from Felix Coldbourne...the jackass who started all of this." Arianna muttered, finishing the explanation.
-
"You saw Felix?" Asked the blue eyed woman. "What did he look like then?"
-
"Tall, skinny guy, looks quite old with his pale skin. Almost like Dracula - hair's white 'n slicked back, beady little orange eyes...seems to like dressing formally, sarcastic git. That add up?"
-
The group looked at each other again before the red haired man nodded. "Aye that about adds up." He confirmed. "Well, if that's the case then, we know where to go. These sewers lead right up under the castle in the centre of the city. We can bypass all these damned creatures and sneak our way in to kill the creature at the heart of it all. You kids in?"
-
"Damn right we are." Arianna clarified, before Isaac could even speak. "...Yeah." He spoke up after her. "We are. Lead the way."

Edited by Inflatablepants: 5/12/2017 2:02:13 AM"I believe some introductions are in order first!" The ginger said. "I am Damien. The blond with the hazel is Brigitte, the blue eyed damsel is Ronda." Damien introduced the two girls who nodded their heads. "Then, we have the men of the crowd. The red head there is my son, Harold." "Aye! Good to meet you two!" Harold said. "And the princess with the blond hair here is Tyrell." "Oh fu[i]c[/i]k off man." Tyrell cursed Damien.
-
"Good to meet you all, truly...let's hope that we all get out of this alive. Wouldn't want to lose allies now.." Arianna went quiet, pocketing her hands as she went silent for a moment. Isaac saw this as a reason to start moving, otherwise...she'd have a "moment." "So...we should get going."
-
"Aye. You heard the lady!" Damien told the rest. "We got shit to kill!" And so, the group of celtics began to walk down the sewers. However Irina and Isaac were behind them. [spoiler]*cough*yourmomentifyouwant*cough!*[/spoiler]
-
((Alright.)) Arianna and Isaac merely looked at each other, the latter shrugging as he then walked (although he did so with a slight limp) behind the group. Arianna smirked a little to herself as she followed him calmly. She decided to speak up to him - in an attempt to calm him a little bit. "Hey, Isaac. You doin' alright? After the...Y'know." She muttered to him quietly, although the Celtics could still hear their conversation. "Wha? Oh, erm.." Isaac went nervous, his light blue eyes flickering over to his bandaged leg. "I'm fine. More concerned about [i]you[/i], Ari, but-" "...Why?" "Back in the castle, you...changed a little. Went from-" "A princess into a [i]victor[/i]." "...That's one way to put it. "...But Arianna, I'm a little frightened of that happens again. Perhaps it's part of the Outlier genetics, Y'know...the ones that Mom had?" "You're speaking nonsense, Isaac. I'm. Fine." "...Sure you are.."
-
As the group made its way down the sewers, Damien suddenly stopped. "Hold up one second..." Damien said. He tilted his head as he stared down the dank half circle built sewer. Arianna could heat a [i]patter[/i] down the sewer. "Anyone else hear that?" Damien asked in a whisper.
-
"...Yes." Arianna whispered back, her hands reaching back to the hilt of her sheathed nodachi. Isaac stopped in place entirely, listening to the noise as if his life depended upon it. Which, he believed - it probably did.
-
"Stay frosty gents." Damien told the crew as all of them raised their weapons. They began to walk down the sewer, and Arianna saw that it branched off to the right a few metres ahead. So did Damien, as he waved his hand towards the right.
-
Edited by Weeaboo Of War: 5/13/2017 3:34:35 PMTo stay safe, Arianna drew her nodachi and held it tightly within her right hand, as she nodded towards Damien after a moment and followed the rest into the tunnel. Isaac was purposely staying behind so that he could provide support - and continuously listen for anything behind their group.
-
"OH SHIT!" Damien yelled as he fired his weapon. Out from the right tunnel a creature of the dead flung out at him and was obliterated by his machine gun. Before Arianna or the others could even turn the corner however another one of the dead leapt out and made its way past Damien's weapon and sunk its teeth into his shoulder. Damien cursed as he pried the deads head off his shoulder with his hands and tore the creatures head apart with his bare fists. As Ari turned the corner she saw the two dozen dead that packed into the hall like sardines. The other Celtics quickly rushed up as the dead began their assault and the tunnel turned into a fireworks show as the combined firepower began to mow down the horde.
-
Isaac provide support to the firing line of Celtics, his semi-automatic rifle tearing through the ranks of undead while Arianna merely waited for stragglers to approach, so that she could cut those undead down.
-
It wasn't long before the dead had dropped to the ground and met a second grave. They couldn't enjoy their victory long however. "God...damnit!" Damien cursed as he held his bloodied shoulder. "You okay Pa?" Harold, Damien's son, asked his father. "Ya I'm fu[i]c[/i]king fine. The bastard took a nibble out of my shoulder is all."
-
"...Damn...we best get going, though. Unless someone could help the wound. Is there really a treatment for bites from these damn things..?" Arianna questioned quietly, staring upon the remains of the zombie horde calmly. She didn't want Damien to catch any infections..
-
"Ya. Alcohol." Brigitte pointed out. This sparked a chuckle from the rest of the crowd. Then...Isaac's acute hearing picked up something. Movement...coming from the way they came.
-
"Does anyone else hear that..?" Isaac murmured nervously as he turned to face the way that the group had come from, raising his rifle a little. Of course, it could've been something minor, but..
-
"Ya." Tyrell said. "Sounds like a fu[i]c[/i]kton of zombies." Isaac could hear the rushing of over a hundred footsteps and the cries of the dead filling the sewers now. "Oh shit!" Harold cursed. "Run! Run right now!" He yelled as he grabbed his father and began to run down the dead coated tunnel. Then, Isaac saw a wave of dead flush into the tunnels. They clambered over one another and stumbled as they turned sharply to their location... [spoiler]RED ZONE[/spoiler]
-
"...Damnit!" Isaac yelled in utmost shock as he began to run, Arianna already in front of him as she began to take the lead of the sprinting group. Isaac managed to be in the middle, although he was worried sick about the Celtics that couldn't catch up..
-
Ronda, the blue eyed woman, ran beside Isaac. "Are you alright?!" She asked him as she gestured to his leg. Tyrell and Brigette were behind them while the remainder of the group was ahead. They sprinted down the tunnel and the dead pooled in after them.
-
"Y-Yeah, I should be fine- Keep going!" Isaac didn't want to hold the rest of the group back just because of his leg, yet he still hurt like hell from running upon it. Arianna hadn't noticed him, as she kept running with all of her speed.
-
The group turned the corner to see a larger room ahead. There was a gated door wide open and they sprinted for it. The dead were right behind them, but then they heard a terrifying scream. "AHHH! NO, NO!" Brigitte let out. As Isaac turned he saw the woman get grabbed by her hair by one of the dead. Tyrell stopped for a moment and looked, but then he continued to run. The dead sank their teeth into Brigitte and she was pulled into the horde in a red mist. "BRIG! NO!" Harold let out. "God dammit run you idiots!" Tyrell scolded as he ran past the group and through the gated doorway. It seemed that Brigitte slowed the horde down for a moment....
-
"B-By God.." Isaac muttered, before- "RUN, DAMNIT!" Arianna's yell kicked him back into action, as Isaac then returned to running. This time, with all of the vigor that he could manage - he didn't want to suffer the same fate as Brigette.
