"You're joking...You're joking..." Mumbled the shack of scares, he was walking through the Shadows on the ground inside the camp, the infected payed him no attention, he had no flesh, no reason for him to be messed with. He smiled, a terror smile that sent chills down people's backs, he was ready for some fun, and these survivors would be it. He looked to his dice, and threw them to the ground,


"Evens and they live, odds and I have my fun." the dice rolled, and spun until the landed on a 2, and a 6. The shack of scares frowned, and kicked the dice, forcing the two to land on a 3.


"Looks like I'll have my fun." he said grinning.

 

[Field Marshall]

"Running out of time 1 more minute!" Edward yelled. "I can make a ramp to get us down once the infected has been purged." Edward clapped his hands and then punched his pillar, a yellow transmutation light engulfed the buildings sides as spike popped up impaling the infected crawling up the building.

// damn, I play one league game and I feel like I'm behind on so much xD

The air elemental continued to fly through the air, using her open palm to emit strong gusts of wind to propel herself. She repeatedly circled around the building, hacking away at the limbs of the Shadows, their horrid bodies falling back down to the dark masses swarming beneath. However, for each Shadow she mutilated, two more crawled up the building's walls. They just kept coming...
The air around her suddenly seemed to whip up around her person. She looked down. She was falling. She didn't have enough energy to sustain flight. "Oh for gods sake..." she cursed under her breath.


Using her quick reflexes, she wrapped both her hands around her one blade and drove her weapon into the side of the building, trying to halt her fall to a painful death. Debris and dust flew from the building as her weapon left a gash in the walls until she finally came to a stop. She was hanging on the handle of her weapon, dangling helplessly above the Shadow horde. She dared to turn her gaze down beneath her. Shadows were climbing up towards Blake's position. Her heart was racing. "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!!" she cried. "Hurry! Before the Shadows kill me!"

"Dammit!" Isaac rolled and scrambled to his feet. Diving back at the edge he leaned down as far as he could to offer his hand.


"C'mon reach for it!" He yelled at the girl. "I can't fly or do any crazy crap, but I can still pull you up! C'mon!"

 

[JayJay]

Daenerys sighed.


Were they all really so foolish?


"What is everyone speaking of? What are these Shadows you speak of?


I don't know what this all is, but obviously we would need help!


We are going with the third option , that is a command!"

 

[RainbowWave]

She fist-pumped the air with a cheer as he found the book, then looking to see the four shadows enter. She grinned wickedly and put her boot down, spinning Pow-Pow up.
"You guys just crossed the wrong psychopath!"


She began firing wildly into the pack of shadows, shouting cheers as she did so.

Ellis was happy when the women spoke, and drew the attention from him to her. Expect, what she said, it reminded him of Andy, his "other" half.


"You guys just crossed the wrong psychopath!" She began firing wildly into the pack of shadows, shouting cheers as she did so. They died quickly and off Ellis and the women was, as they exited the room, Ellis lifted his plan face up, and lifted them upwards towards the roof with a platform of metal. Blake was hanging foolish from a wall, and Ellis created a walkway under her, calling her onto the platform to safety.

Blake looked up at Isaac's outstretched hand, turned her gaze towards the handle of her blade, and then back at the deadly Shadows increasing their pace towards her. She had no other option: she had to let go of her blade. It was too deep in the walls for her to pull out. Not enough time. She used all of her upper body strength to push her body up from the handle and grabbed onto Isaac's large hand. "I have a grip! Pull me up already, please!"

 

[RainbowWave]

The Shadow's have reached the 3rd floor, soon they will be forcing a way into the roof, and the remaining force of The Shadow's climbing the building have retreated back to ground level, entering the grocery store.

The engineer clenched his stomach, pulling with every fiber of his being to get her up with haste. He was surprisingly strong given the weight of his equipment, and once he pulled her up enough to get his second hand on her arm, he gave s final heave and swing to bring her all the way up onto the roof.


"Gothca," he said, bringing his plasma cutter back around to fire into the mass that had gathered beneath where the woman previously dangled.

The Shadow's have reached the 3rd floor, soon they will be forcing a way into the roof, and the force climbing the building have retreated back to ground level, entering the grocery store.

As the climbing force retreated, Isaac made back for the stairwell door. The barricade would hold for a while, but something more permanent would be required to keep it there. Using the plasma cutter for what it was actually meant for, he made some additional welds to melt the door into place.

"Anyone see those MEGA KNEEGROES downstairs? DAMN, dey' dun' gun' kill meh!"


"They killed mah horse billy!"

Ruckus ran, huffing and puffing, his body clearly suffering from the physical strain pressed upon him, “Damn street gremlin and his damned rap music! Ain't dat a surprise? That dumb shitskin comes in and an army of dey' rabid nïggers follows suite! Count mah lucky stars ah surviv--”


Bump!


Ruckus accidentally bumped into Billy the Kid, “Why evenin' sir, ain't dis a mighty fine afternoon—killin' nïggas by the dozens, shootin', hollerin' an' explosions—what more can tha' self-destructive negro ask for? Ha ha! S'like Apefreaka all over again. Damn monkeys and their shenanigans...” A pause, "... Say, ya look like a mighty fine gentleman, wanna see the lil' ghetto goblin who brought dey freaks over here? C'mere, I'll show ya!"

 

[RainbowWave]

Ellis smiled as the Blake was saved by another survivor, he then continued the platform upwards, until they finally reached the roof. Making a small 2x4 walkway, he walked onto the roof.

After putting some welds on the door to give it some extra strength, Isaac went back to the edge of the roof. He was looking to get a handle on the situation when he saw a grotesque sack-creature amongst the shadows. The shadows were not attacking the creature, and it was clearly not human.


Whatever it was, it was with the shadows, and that insinuated hostile. Taking aim with his plasma cutter, he squeezed the trigger --the instantaneous bolt of scorching plasma energy looking to ignite and destroy the target.

((Funny you should say that, I was writing up my shot at him xD ))

 

[La Muerte]

"Guys I hear them making there way up!" He got back up grabbing his sword and pistol. "And I'm still thirsty." He made his way to the center of the roof.

Jinx nodded at Ellis before jogging onto the roof, hooking Pow-Pow back onto her side and arming Fish-Bones. It was time to blow these things back to kingdom-come.


"Alright Fish-Bones! You ready?"


She started puppeteering it again.


"Come on Jinx, can't we ever just-?"


Jinx groaned and shut it's metal jaws.


"You're going soft on me Fish-Bones! Remember what you were made to do!"

 

[Field Marshall]

Edward said "No more time!" He clapped his hands and a blue transmutation light engulfed the building.Doors and path's to other floors all sealed by reinforced steel. !If you're trapped below jump out a window fast. Edward transmuted giant hands to catch those in need and bring them on top the roof.

 

[RainbowWave]

Oogie Boogie smiled, a survivor had seen him, and sent a shot of something at him, it tore through his left side and impacted the parking lot beside him. A small hole sat were the shot hit, and Oogie Boogie grinned, his wound bled with insects, all falling to the ground and quickly heading towards the grocery store's rooftop. He lifted his pointed hand, and shot a blast of Anopheles Mosquito's at his shooter.

Blake immediately unsheathed her other blade as soon as Isaac pulled her up and away from a painful death. She looked at him with grateful eyes, nodding her head in approval, before dashing off to another side of the roof to deal with straggling Shadows.


(I must go for a few hours buh-bye~)

@Delayinder

A tough guy eh? Fine. Just like a tank back home --big and full of tricks, but that hole in him was proof the sack-creature could be damaged. The mosquitoes were a new twist, but nothing Isaac couldn't deal with. He dove out of the way and rolled. His armor was metal and the industrial weave in between rivaled metal in most ways too.


Aiming at the center of the mosquito cloud, he fired --hoping the sheer heat and pressure would incinerate and disperse the cloud. If successful, he'd pull off one of the plasma energy mags on his RIG. He had a plan for the ugly beast below.


Taking aim, he pitched the plasma energy cartridge down towards the creature's feet. It clattered to the pavement, and once it skittered to a halt, Isaac took careful aim and squeezed the trigger --hoping to incinerate the sack-man in a fiery ball of plasma.

 

[La Muerte]

He looked over the edge to see walking burlap, and an idea came, he looked at the armored man and move towards his gear, "You with the lights, I have an idea. Your shorting plasma right, high heat moves at a high rate of speed." He dug through his bag, "Well the gunpowder in a .50 caliber round packs a punch when pressurize." He got a few rounds and a small metal box.

[RainbowWave]

Annie took a step back from the edge, they were safe, at least, for awhile. A lot of survivors were atop of the roof, and she was glad so many made it. Turning to face the group, Annie smiled,


"We're safe." she said, and looked to the door, making sure it was withstanding the Shadow's, and of course, it was, at least for now.

 

[JayJay]

// so what's going on now?

 

[Lunar-Eclipse]

"W-Whoaa!" JoJo exclaimed in astonishment at the light show that this girl put on. It was certainly flashy, he could give it that. But of course, she was right. There was no time to dilly-dally! "Of course, it should also be my responsibility to protect my comrades-in-arms! This goes against what The Art of War taught me, but I suppose I can simply let this slip by!" He said, running over to the edge behind her in the meantime where the Shadows were crawling.
"Hamon Overdrive!" He said, performing a horizontal chop attack. As it would do so, a wave of Hamon would appear, as he had channeled it through the chop. As the Hamon was transferred over to the Shadows, they exploded upon impact. Tch, I still got it! But still...





"Oi! Got any idea what these things are exactly?!" He asked Minako, glancing back.

Minako looked back and smiled to Jojo, "Oh well it's a bit hard to explain what it is exactly but basically it's one of my attacks! See I'm the sailor or rather guardian of Venus!" She answered.

Isaac had been standing on the edge of the roof, brawling, stomping, and clubbing whatever got too close to the top. When a particularly dense cluster of Shadow met his gaze, he'd gut them with a blast from his plasma cutter.

Then he heard the words 'Stand back.'


Stand back? What? Why? He was holding them --CHRIST!


Isaac dove backwards, hitting the roof hard to avoid being struck by the tendrils of light that zipped through the air where he had been a moment before.


"The hell are you thinking!?" he yelled at the caster. "We've got people standing close to the edge, and survivors still down on the ground!"

Minako turned to the man yelling at her and frowned, "I wasn't aiming for any of them! That was to get the shadows! I don't have that bad of aim ya know!" She crossed her arms with frustration.

 

[RainbowWave]

Oogie Boogie grinned, his Anopheles Mosquito's died, but he didn't care, he was just starting the fun. The shooter aimed his weapon at Oogie Boogie feet, but he manged to to throw up a thick cloud of Anopheles Mosquito's around him, blocking his view. The shot missed, and Oogie Boogie kept walking, dancing around in the large Anopheles Mosquito cloud.


@Delayinder 

// so what's going on now?

(The Shadow's have been temporarily stopped, and Oogie Boogie is after everyone.)

Isaac growled in frustration. He couldn't see the cartridge in the cloud of bugs. If he could hit it, half the parking lot would go up in flames. Dammit!


He noticed then that he was being addressed, and cocked his head in the direction of the speaker.


"Solid rounds? I don't know too much about them. Where I come from they have been phased out for pulse and plasma ammunition. What do you propose we do with your powder shells?"

 

[JayJay]

Dany was hiding in a corner, expecting everyone else to take care of it.
