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?"

"G-Gah!" Isaac yelled in utter agony, grasping his bleeding arm as dark, corrupted blood seeped from the wound, covering his arm in its deep black liquid. (Vileblood's have corrupted blood - and as such, it is a darker color. Bloodborne stuff.) Immediately, Arianna drew her Beretta and unloaded two rounds into the zombie's hand, before grabbing Isaac and pulling him tightly to Tyrell, who was probably still running ahead..
-
Suddenly, ahead of them, the entire wall in front of Tyrell collapsed. A beast, it looked wretched and warty and it had blue sick skin that was peeling off of it bashed through. It had pincers for hands and Tyrell slid in his tracks as he stopped. Harold ran forward and met with the group, but he stopped as soon as he saw the creature. The beast let out a terrifying cry as Tyrell Immediately opened fire on it. It held its arm up to block the shots and it swung at Tyrell which sent him flying back towards the children. "What the fu[i]c[/i]k?!" He cursed. Harold took a knee as he fired at the forces behind the group and held them back. "Try to get past that thing!" Harold told the group. "I'll cover six'o'clock!"
-
"Just what we needed.." Arianna muttered sarcastically, looking down at Isaac. "Alright, listen - I need to get that thing's attention, so you can get behind it, alright? Then...try to look for a weakness. Specifically look around the peeled skin, okay?" "...Erm, yeah...a-alright." Isaac responded shakily, as Arianna patted him on the shoulder - the one that wasn't bleeding. She then approached the beast, sword drawn as she waited for it to move. Arianna's worst thought was that she would be attacked by zombies and the beast.
-
"Arianna what are you doing?!" Harold asked her. Tyrell stood beside her and he aimed his machine gun at the beast as it clawed its way closer to the group slowly.
-
"Getting its attention." She gruffly responded, gripping her sword ever-so tightly. Arianna sighed - she needed something better than a nodachi for this. She sheathed it and then took to drawing her Blades of Mercy - two fourteen inch long siderite daggers, gleaming and jagged.
-
It continued to stumble over to the four as it crashed into the sewer walls. It leaned to the right which left space to the left as it continued to creep forward.
-
"Tyrell, get its attention, I'll sweep to the left and see if I can disable it. Got that?" Arianna snapped, not looking at Tyrell as she stood completely still. This would require quite a lot of skill to actually pull off.
-
"...right. That seems like it will work." He said unconfidently but he agreed. He moved to the right and began to fire at the beast and it immediately looked at him. It began to walk towards him, its full focus on his direction(and Isaac's).
-
Isaac had stayed quiet for a bit, attempting to find a spot in helping Harold against the zombie horde or assaulting the abomination. He stayed behind Tyrell, and to the right as the beast approached. Arianna immediately bolted to the left, going behind the creature and looking for chinks in its flesh - or at least a way that she could climb upon it.

He ran to the left and jumped past the beast, rolling past Arianna as he ran down the sewer to a safe distance so that he was away from the cornering. "TYRELL!!!???" Harold yelled as suddenly his gun began to *click!* "oh...oh no." Harold said as he ran out of ammo. [spoiler]R-RED ZOOOOONE[/spoiler]
-
"D-Damnit-" Isaac muttered, forcing himself to look away from the beast as Arianna sighed and fired a few rounds at the monster, to gather its attention. "HAROLD! Catch!" Isaac yelled as he threw his loaded rifle at Harold, accompanied by two loaded clips of twenty rounds of .223 ammunition. Isaac drew his shock pistol, going back to the beast and preparing himself to roll to the side.
-
Harold caught the rifle, but the time it took for the action to take place was enough time for the Zombies to get closer. Harold backed up and fired on the zombies as they just started to grasp for him. The ogre like beast on the other hand turned around to look at Ari as the warts on its back blew up with blood and green mucus across the sewer walls. It's attention was no longer on Isaac and Harold.
-
Isaac soon took the chance to join Harold against the armada of the undead, raising his pistol to fire shocking rounds into the mix. It helped when electricity scorched through their ranks, passing from zombie-to-zombie. Arianna began a sprint right towards the monstrosity, although her intention was not to attack - she was attempting to feint out the giant being.
-
[spoiler]A MIGHTY FINE RED ZONE[/spoiler] The creature saw Ari's movements and grew confused. But it's movements were already limited by being jammed into the tiny sewer. The side to its left was still open as it suddenly swung and Ari with its pincers and hit her in the chest, which sent her flying back and crashing on the ground. The zombies were still just barely reaching the two shooters. Then, Harold turned to Isaac. "You need to get past that beast, NOW!" Harold yelled at him.
-
"O-Okay!" Isaac yelled, kicking into action as he ran to the left side of the creature. Arianna slid across the dirt, groaning in pain and spitting out a bit of blood as Isaac made his way behind the creature.
-
The creature was so still hellbent on Ari that it didn't notice Isaac slip past him. It gave off a blood curdling roar as it swung its arm spastically into the wall.
-
Isaac was behind the being by the time it swung, as he drew his kamas and then began to climb upon its back, slamming each blade into it and scaling it. Arianna fired a few rounds into the monster's head, hoping that it would charge at her - and either ram into a wall or the zombie horde.
-
The beast let out another blood curdling cry as it's body bled disgustingly and coated the walls. Then, Harold let out a yell. "AH! DAMN!" He yelled. Isaac saw that one of the zombies was latched onto his arm with its teeth. "No, no!!!" He yelled as the horde plowed over him and crowded around him. He let our blood filled yells and grunts before he went quiet inside the horde's feast. Harold was dead.
-
And then, it was the two of them. "Isaac, run!" Arianna's cry rang in Isaac's ears as he tore the kamas out, propelling himself off the beast with his uninjured foot and landed with an *oof!*. Arianna sheathed her weapons and sprinted right past the beast as Isaac hobbled a little, before using all of her available strength to grab onto him and practically pull him through the hallway. Her Semblance kicked in, speeding her and strengthening her as well as she ran with all of her might, adrenaline pumping through the young woman's body. Now, all they had to do was beg that the hallway would collapse upon the zombies as it had collapsed before, and...that Harold would distract the zombies a little more.
-
"Go damnit Harold!" Tyrell yelled as he backed up from the beast and ran towards Ari and then sprinted with them. The beast turned around and began to walk horridly towards the group as the zombies tried to get past it. Tyrell sprinted ahead of Ari now and took a sharp left turn into another Tunnel.
-
Arianna kept up her pace, sweat running down her forehead while her short, curly hair flowed through the air. Isaac was still having to hold fast to her, as the two followed Tyrell to wherever he was heading.
-
"Just another right and we'll be right under the castle!" Tyrell yelled to them as he turned another sharp right turn. The group heard the creatures behind them screeching as they ran down the long and wider section of the sewer that seemed to lead into a dead end. However Arianna saw that there was a grate with a light shining through it on the ceiling at the end of the tunnel.
-
Already, Arianna was...thinking of a rather grotesque plan, as she knew what Tyrell would have her do. Just in case, she drew Isaac's shock pistol while holding him still, following Tyrell.
-
Edited by Inflatablepants: 5/21/2017 12:58:48 AMThe three arrived below the grate. Tyrell jumped up and tried to pull on it, and the grate collapsed under his weight. He threw it to the side and looked up. "This leads right into the castle!" He told the two. Then, the creatures arrived at the sewer tunnel they stood in, and began to sprint down it. "God damnit!" Tyrell cursed. [spoiler]Who will go up first? >Tyrell >Arianna >Isaac[/spoiler] [spoiler]RED ZONE[/spoiler]
-
"Tyrell, listen, please." Arianna said, looking back at the horde. "First we get Isaac up, then either you or me - we need to decide now, okay? I'll pull you up if I go up second - but we need to get moving!"
