I'm back, as usual.
Isaac: ::holds up a sign that says "You have no life"::
Well...uh...okay. Fine. I have no life. But at least I can talk.
Isaac: ::holds up a sign that says "Ooh, you're good."::
Yeah, I am. Well, enjoy!

Chapter 7: Death of the Dead

"We're all gonna die," Jenna was back to choking Alex. "We're
all gonna die!"

"Geesh, glad to see that some of us can be SO optimistic," Garet
muttered, casting Inferno. Some of the zombies were burned to little
crisps, but far too many of them escaped with only minor burns or weren't
hit at all. A few of them lit up like torches, giving them more of an
idea of what they were up against.

"Hey, let's use our Djinn!" Isaac said brightly.

"We left them at home, remember?" Mia glared at him.

"Oh yeah," Isaac looked mournfully to the hordes of zombies
slowly but surely closing in on them. "We're all gonna die..."

"Oh, don't YOU start," Garet growled.

"Wait!" Ivan yelled. "Look!"

They all looked where he was pointing...

...and saw absolutely nothing.

"There's nothing there, Ivan," Mia said blandly.

"Fine," Ivan cast reveal. The entire area was lit up, and at the
other end of the room was a huge, gaping hole. Zombies were climbing out
of it, standing up and coming towards them. "If we seal up that hole
then the zombies will stop coming out and we'll be saved!"

"What are we going to seal it up with?" Jenna looked curiously at
the hole.

"Leave this to a Venus Adept!" Isaac stepped forward. "I'm the
one for the job!"

"Then do it!" Mia yelled, casting Glacier to destroy more
zombies.

Alright, alright already, yeesh," Isaac glared at Mia's turned
back. "I'll have to get a little closer, though."

"It's times like these when you really miss your weapons,"Picard
said. "Don't ya wish you had your Gaia Blade right now, Isaac?"

"Shut up, Picard," Isaac glared at him. "I haven't seen YOU do
any work."

"That's because I'm busy," Picard said matter of factly. "Here,
if it matters so much to you."

He handed Isaac a sword.

"Uh...thanks."


"Alright," Garet smirked. "C'mon, Isaac."

He cast heat wave, destroying four zombies that were standing in
a row. Isaac sliced a few up and they made their way to the hole, Garet
casting fire spells and Isaac hacking and slashing for all he was worth.

They got to the hole, and Isaac cast Stone Spire.

The zombies trying to get through the hole were turned into nasty
piles of shredded, decaying flesh and bones. Mia and Ivan managed to
finish off the rest while Picard looked thoughtfully a the ceiling and
Jenna choked Alex.

And then it was over.

"We're alive!" Jenna let go of Alex, who leaned against the wall,
gasping for air. "Yay!"

"Good job, Isaac!" Ivan cheered him. "You too, Garet!"

"Was that MEANT to sound like an afterthought?" Garet glared at
him.

"Whatever," Mia rolled her eyes.

"Let's get out of here," Alex said once regaining his breath.
"Nothing else could POSSIBLY be worse than seeing your worst fear in a
mirror and being attacked by a raving psycho name Je...I mean, a horde of
vicious zombies."

"And living through that horrible rhyming singing voice," Jenna
added brightly.

"And the bad decorating," Mia glanced around her, a look of
distaste on her face.

"But guys, what about the voice of pure evil?" Isaac asked.

"And the flesh eating fishmen?" Jenna added.

"And what about the fact that there's no door?" Garet asked.

The blue flamed candles went out, and the voice of pure evil
sounded again. "Prepare to meet your worst nightmare..."

Jenna screamed and began wringing the neck of the nearest person
to her, who unfortunately happened to be Ivan.

"Can't...breathe..." the Jupiter Adept gasped.

"Wow, that voice of pure evil is always dead on," Picard said.

"It's not the only thing that's going to be dead..." Isaac
whispered. "I think I have to agree with Jenna on this one. We're all
going to die."


And, we're heading slowly but surely in the direction of the conclusion.
Which is good because Halloween is drawing nearer with each passing
moment.
