We stand upon the bones of fallen comrades,
Breathing the air of the those before us,
Fallen mothers, and fallen brothers,
We are all dead men walking.

Everyone in the area was silent and still. The Necromancer's question was ringing heavily in their minds, well, almost everyone's minds. Break was just looking at his fingernails and giggling. It was almost comical to see how red the Necromancer's face was getting from Break's mocking, and Oz was afraid he might burst out laughing if it weren't for the tap he felt on his shoulder. Oz turned around and almost collided straight into Sharon, who had Eques by her side.
"Break's having me take Gil back to the Rainsworth mansion. We weren't expecting the Necromancer to raise Elliot's body and the only way to destroy those things are to completely rip them apart. Break wont have a problem with that, and its just something I don't think Gil should have to see," Oz nodded at this and yanked Gil over to them. He was about to inform Gil about their change in plans when something caught Oz's attention. It was silent.
Completely, utterly silent. No jangling of undead bones or Alice's grunts of fighting. No mocking from Break or the Necromancer laughing. Just, silence.
Oz turned around to see Alice staring straight at the Necromancer and Break. Break was shaking, no….shivering? What the hell? It was 85 degrees and a nice summer night!
"Just as I thought….Kevin," The Necromancer said, as his still-furious face twisted into a grin, similar to the ones on his undead army. Oz tilted his head in confusion until Break started stuttering and leaned against his cane for support. That's when Oz started to panic instead.
"Break? Break?" Oz said. Sharon too, had a look full of concern.
The Necromancer gave a cold laugh before ducking as one of Gil's bullets whizzed past his head.
"Would you SHUT UP ALREADY?! God you laugh so much it reminds me of Isla Yura," Gil huffed before sprinting to Break's side and offering a hand while asking what was wrong.
Break looked up at Gil with a pained expression on his face. Gold eyes met a single red one as Break simply whispered "I'm sorry."
"Sorry for wha….?" With that Break stood up and slashed across Gil's torso with his own sword. Gil doubled back and his eyes widened, along with everyone else's in shock. All except for the necromancer.
"What the hell was that for?" Gil asked as he clutched at the shallow wound on his chest.
"Gil….I really am so sorry…please…" Break said as he slashed yet again. Gil dodged and dove around Break in a flash.
"Break stop it! What's going on with you?" Oz shouted from his position a few yards away. Instead of getting a reply, Break just delivered a well aimed kick straight into Gil's torso. Ribs could be heard cracking, and the Necromancer chuckled.
"I knew it! I knew it!" The necromancer said, a gleam in his eyes. "The Will of Abyss said that Kevin Regnard was dying. She said his contract with Hatter was why his other eye went blind! I'm stronger than I thought hehehe! XERXES BREAK IS AS GOOD AS DEAD!" Sharon gapped at the man and at her white haired servant as he aimed a few more kicks at Gil.
"Let Break go this instant!" She yelled in a huff. The necromancer simply stated no.
"What the hell am I supposed to do? Shoot him?" asked Gil as he dodged a slash.
"No!" screamed Sharon. "Just focus on the contractor. The chain will let go of Break if we can just get rid of him."
Gil nodded and Alice rushed forward, delivering a strike mere inches from the Necromancer's head. Soon enough she was engulfed by skeletons from all directions that were ready to defend their master.
"Eques! Go!" Sharon yelled, as her chain soon joined the fight.
With the Necromancer being almost untouchable from his army of protectors and the undead being so hard to kill, Eques came in handy even a lot more than Alice did. Before long Eques had teleported almost half of the skeletons away, leaving less of a challenge for B-rabbit's force. The Necromancer was soon faced with a horrible realization: He was about to be beaten by a unicorn, whose contractor looked like a 15 year old girl. WTF.
Wasting no time, he turned to the darkness that was hovering above his head in the form of a jet black cloak with puppet strings. This could only be his chain: The real Necromancer, a chain with the ability to raise those already dead.
"Necromancer!" The contractor yelled to his chain above all the yelling and sounds of fighting. "Wouldn't it be HILARIOUS if you had that sorry excuse for a servant get rid of Eques's contractor? After all, he's her servant anyway! I know you love a good joke."
With that, one of the necromancer's marionette strings tightened and Break was forced to stop fighting Gil. He then whirled around and pointed his sword at none other than Sharon Rainsworth.
