[EVENT-F1] [SP] A Zombie a Minute...

[Neopolitan 0]

(Continued form the main event thread)

 

Neo was asked to get down from the rafters, and though she wanted to, Shadow decided it would be best to stay until the show started. With a quick vanishing act, they weren't going to be found so easily. Then it began. Just as they both suspected, the event was certainly not a peaceful one. Giving a grin, Neo and Shadow both agreed to finally swing down from the rafters. It was about high time that this new gear got a chance to be broken in. Her stealth would be the backbone while her sword her arms. Not a one of these zombies would be escaping her sight tonight. There was going to be no rest for the wicked, and she was certainly not pure of heart.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, she could sense it. The smell of battle, the lust for death. These creatures weren't here by choice, so she would give them no choice as she sent them away from the world of the living.

But before she could begin her fighting, the smells of something delicious distracted her. There was a concession stand. Though normally the smell of food was something to ignore, she knew quite well the tangible buffs that it would give in this world. Quickly making her way over to the merchant, she made a purchase of various foods and scarfed them down. Hopefully they would last for a while so that she could make shorter work of all these horrid creatures. Sadly, she noticed the timer on them was rather short. A disappointingly short amount of time. Seemed she would just need to make sure that she killed them as quickly as she could to make the most of these buffs.

Once they were eaten, she also took the opportunity to quickly make herself vanish into the shadows. There weren't any monsters on her just yet, so there was no worries of being spotted, but who knew how well these monsters would be seeing her.

As soon as Neo had finished eating, she let Shadows take the lead. They seemed to blend in perfectly with the shadows that were around her and her darkness radiated from her and her weapon, still in its parasol sheathe. There was almost no need to even attack, no one would see her. But where was the fun in that. Even though zombies were still streaming in, she decided to start picking them off. Paying no heed to the actions of others in the circus, she unsheathed and quickly slashed up the back of a zombie with brutal force, bleed being activated. It turned around to face her, she stabbed it. Paralyzed. With its eyes wide towards her, she slashed the front, burning the body. Yakeru, the Closer of its own wounds, had struck its first blow. And this would certainly not be the last of blows that she would be able to deal with this blade.

The zombie just stared at Neo, letting its jaw go slack. Shadow waited, letting it agonize further in the pain brought about by her status effects. There was no stopping them from ticking down its health. As soon as they were done, then they would let it end with a final blow. There would be nothing to stop them from quickly dismembering any resistance this weak creature could throw up at her.

Glancing around, it seemed that a few others had already tarted fighting. But she knew that their forces would be enough to survive. There were those that would actually try and protect the weaker ones. She just wanted to let there be a slaughter. There would be no end to this night if they didn't bring it about. And she had no intention of slowing down this killing spree. She would make sure that it was seen all the way to the end.

The staredown continued, the zombie seemingly having a difficult time recovering from the paralysis effect. Though Neo felt that they should just end the poor things life, Shadow wanted to draw out the agony as long as they could.

There was seemingly a tear in the eye of the creature. It truly had come back to this world unwillingly, and it wanted to be back with the ones it loved. Yet, she knew it was all lines of code, structured to elicit an emotional response like this.

It's all lines of code, that's all that it is. That's all it has ever been. There will be no change to that. Just end it now.

But if we end it like this, are we really being merciful, or are we just losing the fight against Kayaba?

It doesn't matter if we are losing that fight or not. Now, we must fight for our own survival.

For friends.

For Revenge.

Finally, some movement from the creature. It quickly snapped towards Neo with quite the force behind it. She twisted to avoid her arm getting snapped, and retaliated with a strike of her own. The creature staggered backwards, feeling the force of the blow reducing it to a sliver of health left. Though these things were numerous, there was not much to their health bars. It seemed that only a couple of strikes would be enough for her to quickly take it down. Likely three strikes total without being able to bring in her own consumables. It would've been ideal if she could use some of her own food, but that would've likely been too much for her to ask, wouldn't it. Regardless, ti was to late to head back and get that food that she wanted. She had come here expecting combat, but certainly not for her to be enjoying of the festivities herself.

Not giving the zombie a break to attack her back, she quickly whipped around with 6 hits in a cross pattern. the tears seemed to dry up as the zombie crumbled away from the fallen on her Accursed Lament. It seemed she had the effects that would quickly dismantle it. Seeing no need for there to be an end to the onslaught that she had, she quickly turned to see if she could get another target. She could've blended in with the spattering blood, but decided against it with her current choice of weapon. Her sneak attack specialty would just get in the way of the darkness of her blade. This was not a darkness that hid, it was a darkness that lunged forward and took out its foes with extreme prejudice.

The first of many zombies had fallen, it wouldn't be long before she did what she could to clear out this whole tent.

Looking around, she realized most of the zombies were already flailing about towards other guests. There wasn't exactly stragglers for her to single out. But she didn't want to fight a group all at once, that wasn't her specialty. What she did want to do though was to quickly get everything dealt with, one enemy at a time. Seeing one finally on its own. She rushed up to pull its aggro so it didn't go for someone else. This was her kill.

Sadly, her blow was only a warning shot. There wasn't anything that pierced through the hide. She needed to keep a better mind that that was a possibility she had to worry about. Hopefully she would be able to deal a bit more damage on the next blow. On the bright side, she was able to prevent it from getting to her with her flip and parasol. It seemed that these creatures weren't exactly quick ones.

With the zombie still trying to find an angle to attack Neo with, she let shadow quickly step forward and attack it with all of their combined might. The rage of Shadow and the drive of Neo combined to force a deadly, piercing blow all the way through the creature. It wasn't enough to kill it, but she wasn't expecting it to. Seeing that they were under half, Neo just smirked at it. he wagered that there was about a fifty percent chance that she would be able to take the creature down on her next hit. There was no way it would dodge her either. She would be able to ensure that she took the thing down shortly.

This one would fall. And then the next, and the next, and so on until she had sated her blood-lust and this event drew to a close. A never ending waterfall of blood would wash the dirt of the tent.

There was barely a time for the zombie to even draw a hollow breath as Shadow continued the relentless assault. Neo was already growing tired of the endless violence, but she would be recuperated shortly enough. The two were working in tandem now as controllers of this body. It would stretch the body to its limits, but it meant that she could continue fighting even when her mind was growing tired. Perhaps that was how she freed herself from this prison.

The zombie didn't quite die, the sword having less darkness in it than that which resided in Neo's soul,  but it was drawn so incredibly low that they would easily be able to finish it off with one more attack. They wouldn't even need to bother with making it a full out attack. Just a slightly weaker one that they didn't need to monitor whatsoever. They took some energy to kill, but these zombies were not a threat to her whatsoever.

Finishing off with another crucifixion attack, Shadow watched as the second zombie crumbled into dust. Rolling her eyes at the poor timing of her weapon, she switched it over to her more tasteful Yakeru. With the new blade, she swiped through the dusted zombie, scattering it everywhere. Between it and the chaos, there was nothing to stop her from quickly hiding into the new shadows to the stealth that she was benefited from. Hopefully whatever she went against wouldn't be able to spot her before she was upon them. There was little that they would be able to do to stop her from landing these blows. She wouldn't let it stop her. There was no stopping the rage in her mind now. The time for her to be calm had passed, this was now a bloodbath with which she held the control over its end, and she intended to end it as quickly as she could.

There was little else for Neo to do except look for her next target. She saw groupings of zombies again, but once again there was only minimal amounts of singular zombies. Eventually she found them, a zombie that was on their own. She didn't care where it was going, for its new destination was the sharp end of her blade. Prodding it from the back with her blade, she watched as all of her status effects were applied to them simultaneously. With that out of the way, she quickly made her way to start cleaving up the front of the creature. While Shadow did revel in the pain the attacks brought, Neo just wanted to kill this thing quickly. They had suffered one attack, but she wasn't looking to be getting a repeat bite from these things. She didn't know if it was infection based or some sort of supernatural curse, but she didn't want to find out it was the former if she could avoid it.
