Korrasami 88: Who?
Gloyd Orangeboar: =_=
The Batista: Okay...
Creamy Buttercap: I hear you.
I am a burglar: Fine.
Al Drin Hoshizora: Okay...
Candlehead: 'Bout time you showed up.
Minty Zaki: He's out of shape.
MrScourch: The ladder was kicked off the edge of the roof, Riley caught the top of it as it fell, and she's trying to keep it from falling. Not sure what's so hard to understand.
Js: Oh, thanks.
The Others and the ferals battled on the streets with each other. Though the Others had the ferals outnumbered, a few of the savage zombies managed to break past their defenses and attack the Freaks as they attempted to flee.
"We have to get to the buildings," Joe said to the crowd as he shot at the ferals to keep them at bay. As he did, he didn't notice one feral lung at him.
"Joe, look out!" Margaret shouted, but it was too late. The feral slashed Joe's chest with his claws, and Joe let out a blood-curdling shout. Another feral tackled him, and the two viciously bit and mauled Joe on the ground.
"Get off of him!" Margaret's mother shouted, and she rushed over and grabbed one feral by the collar, prying him off of Joe. As she did, a group of Others tackled the ferals, dragging them off of a bleeding Joe.
"Joe!" Margaret cried in horror when she saw him. Joe's chest had five bloody gashes in it, and his body was covered in cuts and marks. He coughed, blood on his mouth.
"Get. . . out of here," He whispered, raising his arm to point down the street. His arm then collapsed on the ground, and Joe's breathing slowed to a stop. Margaret was about to run to him, but her mother grabbed her and pulled her back. The crowd then rushed down the street towards the nearby buildings as the Others and the ferals continued to battle.
On the roof, Bill and Sawbones rushed at each other. The two men slammed into each other, pressing their weight against the other as they grappled. Sawbones attempted to bite Bill, but missed.
The two broke apart from each other, and then ran at each other again. Bill ducked under Sawbones' arms and landed a blow to his gut. The older zombie doubled over, wheezing in pain, and swiped out, just barely missing. He then slammed his fist into Bill's face, knocking him to the side. As Bill recovered from the blow, Sawbones backhanded him, sending him stumbling backwards towards the edge of the roof. He steadied himself, and rushed back towards Sawbones.
Nearby, Riley, Noose and Ghoul held onto the ladder as it hung from the edge of the building. Riley groaned as the weight of the ladder and its occupants strained her arms. It was taking all her strength to keep from letting go of the ladder.
"You're going to be alright, you guys," Noose called out to Jill's group as they hung from the ladder.
"We're gonna die!" George shouted up at him. "We're gonna die! We're undead, but we're still gonna die!"
"Could you just climb up already?!" Ghoul cried out. Immediately, Jill's group scrambled up the ladder to get to the roof. Shelley was the first one up, grabbing Noose's shirt to pull herself to the top of the ladder. Rob climbed up after her.
"Rob, get your fat ass out of my face!" George shouted up at him.
"Sorry!" Rob shouted down at him. His large arms gripped the side of the roof, and the Boss, still injured from the knife wound, used his good arm to pull him up.
George and Blackjacket scrambled up the ladder next. Soon, the only ones left on the ladder were Jill and Mary.
"Mary, you have to climb up!" Jill shouted down at the younger zombie.
Mary bit her lip and looked down at the street hanging below her. She gasped and shut her eyes tight, clutching the ladder bars tightly. Jill looked down at her, and her eyes widened when she looked at the street.
The fire that had started on the main street was beginning to spread to the other streets as well. Several nearby buildings began to catch on fire quickly as a result of the gasoline.
"Mary, climb up now!" Jill shouted, more urgently now. "That's an order!"
Shaking, Mary climbed up the ladder, her eyes still tight. Jill extended an arm, and grabbed Mary's shoulder. As the two continued to climb up the ladder, Bill and Sawbones continued to fight nearby.
"Freaks have no place in this world!" Sawbones bellowed as he swung blow after blow at Bill, striking him repeatedly. Bill blocked one blow, and punched Sawbones in the face, causing him to growl in anger. Bill struck him once again, and Sawbones collapsed on the ground, next to one of his knives.
Glaring, Sawbones grabbed the knife and sprang at Bill, swinging the knife at him repeatedly.
"Die, Freak!" Sawbones shouted, bringing the knife down on Bill's head. As he did, Bill grabbed Sawbones' wrist, stopping the knife.
"Things are changing," Bill said, shoving Sawbones back. "People are changing. It won't matter if you kill me; you won't win!"
Sawbones growled, and hurled the knife at Bill, who dodged under it. As he did, Sawbones rushed at him, grabbing Bill by the throat and hoisting him to his feet. His claws extended, Sawbones prepared to slash Bill, but Bill grabbed his arm. He then kneed Sawbones in the gut, and knocked him back.
As he fell, Sawbones caught sight of the Boss' gun. Collapsing on the ground, Sawbones scrambled towards the gun and grabbed it, pointing it at Bill, who stopped in his tracks.
Sawbones narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth as he aimed the gun at Bill, his index finger on the trigger.
"Dad!" Riley shouted from behind him.
"Bill!" Jill cried out. She and Mary climbed to the top of the building, and the group was about to rush towards the two, but Bill raised a hand and halted them.
Bill stood in place, breathing heavily. As he stared at the gun, he said, "I thought only Freaks used guns."
Sawbones growled as he got to his feet, the gun still on Bill. He froze for a second, and stared at the gun still in his hands.
"Face it, Sawbones," Bill said, straightening up. "You're more Freakish than you think you are."
Sawbones let out a growl of anger, and he hurled the gun off the roof before lunging at Bill, who dodged under him. Sawbones grabbed his knife and rushed at Bill, swinging it at him. Bill slammed his wrist into Sawbones' shoulder, temporarily stunning him. Behind Sawbones, the group pulled the ladder to the top of the building.
"Hello!" A rather screechy voice shouted. It was then that the group remembered that Pale Girl was still hanging from the ledge. Quickly, they raced over to her to help her up, Rob setting the ladder up against the wall.
Sawbones pushed Bill up against the wall. As he lunged with the knife, Bill jumped up, pressed against the wall, and kicked out, jamming his foot into Sawbones' face. As the old zombie collapsed on the ground, he noticed the fire spreading down the street.
Turning to Bill, Sawbones shambled towards him, and the two continued to trade blows. Bill got in a lucky shot, and slammed Sawbones' face against the wall. Bill stopped briefly to catch his breath, and approached Sawbones, fists clenched.
Sawbones saw him coming, and let out a growl. Then, he grabbed the ladder and toppled it towards Bill, who gasped and dodged out of the way of the falling ladder. It clattered on the ground with a crack. Half of it landed over the edge of the roof, and the rest dropped off towards the street, vanishing in the flames below. This only intensified the fire below, which crackled and hissed as it rose above the streets.
"Crap!" Ghoul said through gritted teeth as the fire expanded. As Riley reached out to grab Pale Girl's arm, the building briefly shook as a result of the fire expanding to it. Pale Girl shouted out as she lost her grip on the building, and began to fall.
Suddenly, the Boss removed his trench coat and swung it down towards the falling Pale Girl. Quickly, she grabbed onto the coat, and hung over the fire raging below her. The Boss groaned, feeling his arm tear as a result of the knife wound.
As the rest of the group held onto the coat, Jill turned to Bill and Sawbones, who continued to grapple. Narrowing her eyes, Jill pulled her hair up, and rolled back her sleeves. Then, she let out a shriek and entered the fray.
Sawbones was caught off guard as Jill rammed into him from the side. As he lashed out at her, Bill punched him in the gut, causing him to double over in pain. Jill promptly grabbed his head and kneed him in the face, causing him to stumble into the wall. He stumbled into the wall, holding his bloody nose. He growled in pain and rage as he stared at Bill and Jill, his eyes ablaze.
Nearby, Pale Girl was continuing to climb up the jacket. As she did, several tiny bomb detonators hidden in the Boss' jacket fell out of the pocket, and began to fall into the fire below.
The Boss' eyes widened in horror. "Uh-oh," He whispered. As the group saw the tiny bombs fall down the side of the below, they immediately shouted out and ran off to get as far away from the destruction before it began. Pale Girl grabbed onto the side of the building, and scrambled to the top of the roof, running after them.
The bombs landed in the fire, and immediately, they exploded, right next to the building. The entire building shook, and everyone inside or on the roofs stumbled and fell. A section of the building was blast apart as a result of the fire and the bombs. As it did, one side of the roof tumbled, cracks appearing on the walls.
"No, no, no!" Riley shouted as she felt the building below her feet start to shake. She crashed onto the ground, and cracks began to appear around her. Helpless to stop it, she could only watch as the building began to collapse, as a result of the explosion, the fire, and its own age.
Riley saw everyone around her began to fall through the collapsing roofs and into the building as it caved in. Bill, Jill, Ghoul. . . they're screams echoed through the night.
Then, it was her turn. She felt the roof she was lying on give away, and start to break.
A shrill, blood-curdling scream pierced the air as she dropped through the roof and into the building. The debris collapsed after her almost immediately afterwards.
Then, darkness consumed her.
