The Apocalypse Keepers and the Kingdom Keepers ran through the mall towards the same ladder and way they entered the mall.
Once on the roof, they ran across until they were at the edge of the entrance.
They stared down at the undead army, led by Rourke and Tremaine.
They stared back up at them, smiling menacingly.
"Kingdom Keepers!" Rourke yelled. "We knew you would come here! I had this army built just for you!"
"You honestly think even an undead army can kill us?" Maybeck yelled. "Pathetic!"
"Dear child," Tremaine said. "You need to learn when you are about to lose already. This time there will be no victory!"
"That's what every one of you villains always said!" Jess yelled. "And yet you always got defeated!"
"By the way, why the hell are you here Tremaine!?" Charlene yelled. "You're goal in your movie was to gain wealth through your daughters marrying Prince Charming! And now you're in a kingdom plagued by a zombie apocalypse?"
"You are correct child, I wanted wealth," said Tremaine. "But what I also love, is control. With my trinket, I have complete control over a brainless army that can do whatever I command it to do!"
"As do I," said Rourke. "And we've got a lot of guns and men. More than you! You might want to surrender and let us kill you quickly."
"If I didn't have a nickel for every time one of you told me that!" Amanda yelled.
"Say, where's the leader?" Tremaine asked. "Where's Finn Whitman?"
"He's unavailable!" Amanda yelled. "I'm his replacement! And I say, you're going down!"
"You're going to pay for the deaths of our friends!" Wolf yelled.
"So, is that a no to your surrender?" Rourke asked.
"No, this is!" Philby yelled.
He conjured a fireball and threw it down at a bunch of zombies who caught fire.
Rourke and Tremaine were now angry.
"KILL THEM ALL!" they both yelled and all the zombie roared and pointed their guns.
Luckily the heroes were already running back towards the ladder.
"Dust Mite! Spider!" Wolf yelled. "Get the people underground into and safety! Everyone else get ready for a battle! Get the Kingdom Keepers guns!"
"Roger!" the Apocalypse Keepers yelled.
The girls broke off, leading the civilians away will all the men and the Kingdom Keepers got armored up and were given guns.
"I've always wanted to do this in real life," Maybeck giggled.
"Yeah, it's all fun and games until you get bitten," Philby said.
"Hey if I get bitten on the arm, I will cut it off," Maybeck said.
"You will do no such thing!" Charlene ordered. "I am not living my life with a one-armed boyfriend!"
"So you'd rather have an undead boyfriend?" Maybeck asked.
"Hey!" Willa yelled. "No one is getting bitten or losing body parts!"
"Nobody except those zombies!" Amanda growled. "They're in the way of saving Finn. We'll kill them all!"
"Goddamn right," Maybeck said clicking his gun.
Suddenly everyone heard a loud crash.
"They've breached the entrance!" Brick yelled.
"Then it begins," Wolf said. "Let's do this!"
Everyone cheered out and charged out.
Every single men or girl with a gun ran out of the armory and through the mall.
They got up to the hall where the entrance was to see zombies already pouring into the mall.
Rourke and Tremaine stayed behind, as well as the two Juggernauts.
Everyone got into cover, and then began firing.
Bullets flew through the air, either hitting the zombies in places below the head, bouncing off their armor, or making it to their heads and killing them instantly.
But even with the deaths of a ton of them, more kept pouring.
Eventually Tremaine commanded them to start firing, and with that the zombies picked up their guns and fired back.
Everyone hid behind cover, either waiting or blindly firing.
"We can't stay here for long," Archer said. "They'll swarm us."
"We kill enough here, then everyone split different ways," Wolf said. "The armies will follow all directions."
"Maybe we can get the drop on them from behind," Willa said. "Once the army gets through, we come from behind and get a whole bunch of them.
"And that will leave us to also take on Tremaine and Rourke," said Philby.
"Maybe," said Chainsaw. "But there are also the two Juggernauts!"
"I'll take them," said Brick. "I'm the one holding a minigun and a rocket launcher after all."
"Then I'll stay and take them on too," said Wolf. "Besides, I want to see these kids take down the two that killed our friends."
"Very well," said Amanda. "We hold them off a little longer, and then the eight of us will break off and get overhead while the rest of you lead them in different ways, which will lead us to cut them down greatly afterwards."
"Very well!" Archer said. "Me and Chainsaw will lead everyone else."
"Let's do this," Maybeck said.
After a few more rounds of firing, the zombies were about to reach the cover. By then the eight had already snuck off towards the upper floor.
Rourke and Tremaine smiled as they watched all the zombies pour into the mall. More and more just kept coming and filling in.
Then they saw the group split up and take off in different directions.
"Ha!" Rourke laughed. "They think running will save them!"
"Nothing can stop us," said Tremaine. "They will all be slaughtered."
But before the last men took off with a group, he did something that surprised the Overtakers. He opened up the gate for the zombies to walk through.
"Well that's strange," said Tremaine. "But it doesn't matter! I command them all to kill everyone!"
The zombies poured into the center of the mall and began filling it up, and then started splitting up in both directions.
And yet, none of them knew about the sneak attack about to happen.
Once the heroes were certain that the last of the zombie army had came through, they got ready.
The zombies were already heading off in the two directions, and then it began.
"NOW!" Amanda and Wolf yelled.
Immediately the eight heroes began attacking.
Brick and Wolf fired rockets, exploding zombies and sending them flying. The Keepers blasted magic and killed zombie after zombie from above.
"WHAT THE!?" yelled Tremaine. "Where did this come from!?"
"Well, I saw this coming," said Rourke. "I knew something was up."
"And you didn't mention anything before you sent them in!?" Tremaine growled. "They're taking out half our forces!"
"I knew something was up, but I didn't know what!" yelled Rourke. "I'm never surprised, but I'm also not psychic!"
All eight of them had taken out practically fifty percent of the zombies.
"That'll be enough for the rest to take care of," said Wolf. "And now for the others."
They all jumped off the second floor and the Keepers used their magic to land everyone safely.
They walked across the destroyed and burnt bodies until the faced the entrance.
They watched as Rourke and Lady Tremaine walked in, with the two Juggernauts following.
They all faced one another.
"Well I have to hand it to you kids," said Rourke. "I'm not having much fun. I like it when you guys are a pain in the neck. It makes me want to hurt you more. But without your leader, you are all just annoying."
"How about you make this easy then and let us trap you in the scepter where all the Overtakers are?" asked Amanda.
"You think that means give up!?" growled Tremaine. "I beat you all senseless and feed you to our friend back home!"
"You mean the monster?" asked Brick.
"You'll find out soon," said Rourke. "Juggernauts! Get them!"
The monsters roared and charged towards them.
Brick and Maybeck went for one and Wolf and Charlene went for the other.
Brick and Wolf fired rockets at them and they got blasted back a few steps, and then Maybeck and Charlene blasted them with magic.
While they fought them, Willa and Philby faced Tremaine and Amanda and Jess faced Rourke.
Rourke threw away the LMG he was holding and cracked his knuckles.
He then charged at the girls, but Amanda blasted him back with her push, holding him on the ground.
She repeatedly held him down, practically pushing in further into the ground.
Jess blasted lightning at Rourke too, but all he did was take it.
He laughed menacingly.
Amanda and Jess were shocked, as they realized they were doing no damage.
He then stood up, and unleashed a force off of him that blasted both the girls back.
He laughed out again.
"A present from Akan if you're wondering!" he said. "Magic that can allow me to take damage and absorb it, and then unleash it."
Amanda and Jess groaned and stared at one another.
They felt weak.
The juggernaut fighters were doing better than the Overtaker fighters.
Philby and Willa were doing worse. Lady Tremaine was using her gem of servitude to force Philby and Willa to hurt each other.
"Akan made my magic more powerful!" she had explained. "Now you're no longer resistant to the spell!"
Philby was trying so hard to stop punching Willa, but he couldn't fight it.
Willa kept kicking Philby in the balls, but he still fought her.
Amanda had to do something, and then she got an idea.
"Distract Rourke so he's not focused on me!" she said to Jess.
Jess nodded and began to run around Rourke back and forth.
He tried to punch her, but she dodged every one of them, using a speed spell.
Amanda then made it look like she was still too hurt, and she held out her hand towards Tremaine.
She was aiming for her gem, which began to wiggle.
Suddenly, it flew right off her dress and towards Amanda.
Tremaine gasped.
"NO!" she yelled. "MY GEM!"
It landed right in Amanda's hand, and everything Tremaine had control over was free.
The Juggernauts were no longer under control, and Philby stopped punching Willa.
Amanda saw them both kiss to apologize to one another.
But then she saw Tremaine charging towards her.
But now with the gem in her hand, she activated it, and just as Tremaine was about to tackle her, Rourke can and slugged her across the face.
Tremaine gasped at what he did.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO!?" she roared.
"It's not me!" yelled Rourke. "I can't control myself!"
"I bet this took you by surprise," Amanda said.
She activated it again and then made Tremaine start punching Rourke. They began beating each other up repeatedly, and while that happened Amanda made the Juggernauts tear each other apart until they were a bunch of dead scattered body parts.
After a while, Rourke and Tremaine had beaten each other up so badly, that as they raised their fists again, they both collapsed.
Completely beaten up and tired, they only stared at the Keepers above them.
"I'm going to make sure you never control anyone again," said Amanda to Tremaine as she crushed her gem in her hand.
"NO!" Tremaine yelled out. "You will pay for this child! Akan will kill every one of you!"
"You know what?" Rourke said weakly. "I won't be surprised if you beat him. But I can still pray that you will lose."
"Don't pray," said Philby. "Just keep dreaming, because it will never happen"
Amanda activated the scepter and Rourke and Tremaine were sucked into the vortex.
After they were gone, everyone smiled at one another.
They then turned around and saw all the other survivors walking towards them.
"We got the rest of the zombies," said Chainsaw. "Did you avenge our friends?"
"In a way," said Amanda. "They paid for what happened."
"And now we can finally go and take on Hendrickson," said Wolf.
"And save Finn!" Charlene exclaimed.
"Speaking of Finn," said Philby. "He's not safe here! With that hole in this place, zombies will have heard the guns."
"We have another safe zone," said Dust Mite. "We can take the survivors and him there until we repair this place."
"I'll take him personally," Archer said.
"What?" asked Spider. "You don't want to come kill Hendrickson!?"
"No, I'll just drop him off, and meet you back," said Archer. "Walrus will watch him."
"Walrus?" asked Willa.
"His real name is Wayne," said Wolf. "He's the leader of another outpost."
"Oh shit! Wayne's alive here!" Jess said.
"Story for another time," said Amanda. "We've got a doctor to kill."
Everyone agreed and cheered out.
It was time to go and save Finn truly.
Oh yeah they defeated Tremaine and Rourke! But we still don't know who this monster is? Stay tuned!
See you next update! Review please dearies!
