"Humanity, for all its many weakness's as well vanity to make such wonderful things and inventions. They forget their place, such as that this world. Belonged to that of other beings, creatures that once stalked the lands and woods with no needing to hide. I strived for that ideal, however. Humans rejected me, defied my will. Sure I had to burn some towns as well terrorize several villages for creatures of the night to live in. But all I seek, was to show Humanity wasn't the only rulers of this world. Though now, apparently the same ones I tried to help. Are now existing with humans, and the one who was able to accept this is a human by the name of Addison, a interesting human. I can't wait to meet her."


Far away from Seabrook-Midnight

Limping his way from the chipper like town of Seabrook, the boar like creature traveled from the town into the deepest parts of the forest. As well having to look at his broken tusk, feeling the stinging as well of how he was humiliated by a zombie. Let alone of feeling the burn of the iron, to which most humans had forgotten that weakness. Still in anger, he soon arrived to what looked like a abandon town. With it's lights turned off, let alone of it's people vacant. The boar creature merely walked down the street seeing it's numerous stores as well everything out of business.

"When my lady finds out by this, they will pay."

The boar spoke still rattled about how he was humiliated as well had his tusk broken from his jaw. Continuing his walk, he walked into that of a city hall building. The windows were broken, statue's of it's people on the ground. It was a ghost house, walking inside. Heading down the hallways, he traveled up to the office. Where he heard some humming, settling himself. He steps in to see that of a cloaked figure, in which was looking at the outside of the hollow town.

"My lady, I have returned. And delivered the message."

He spoke to her as well kneeling to her like if he was a loyal minion, the black hooded figure kept quiet. Not responding to him, let alone of looking at the moon. The boar, gulped a bit at how the room felt cold let alone that he didn't know how to respond.

"I was attacked. By the zombie protector, he broke my tusk and burned my skin with iron."

Expressing his attack in an agitated like tone as he was still angry about it, he saw how the hooded figure turning her head towards him. The boar quickly lowered his head in a sign of respect, making sure he spoke no ill to her.

"Apologies, but it is a risk to do this. The zombie will no doubt try and stop you. Or end you for what you are."

Warning her how Revenant as well the others in Seabrook would deny her of the plan she had formulating. Let alone of how she has kept Suburbia hidden for about sixteen years. Turning over, the boar saw how she slowly removed her hood. Upon the hood going down, it was the zombie girl who survived several years ago. Except, she had matured to that of a young adult. Her green hair had darken, she had a pair of yellow earrings. On side of her forehead was two spiraled dark brown horns.

"My sweet Brùnaidh."

She spoke towards her as well walks over to him, touching the side of his face. Her thumb rubbing his broken tusk, as well of seeing the burned marking on his face. The horned zombie gripped him by the tusk he had, making him squeal a bit.

"I know, when you threaten someone. I smell it."

Talking at him as well making him feel frightened, he nods at how during his encounter with Addison. He was going to take her here by force, letting him go. The zombie woman sighs as well walks out of the office. Brùnaidh followed her like a loyal beast, as well saw how the cloaked woman headed towards the doors.

"Over the centuries, I have seen humans reacting to the unknown. Cowering in fear, as well wiping out any kind of difference or obscure. Though now, in this. Modern age, they have learned about it, but twist it."

She spoke as well looking to the side, her eyes lit up showing a television recording of the Seabrook Cheerleading competition. Where she saw the human girl Addison, as well of the zombie Zed. Who were performing for the humans as well their friends.

"They modeled creatures, that made people in past fear them. To change them, warp them to acting like humans. As well, force others to destroy a Mayan titan."

Changing the screen with a flicker of her hand, which the boar creature saw how on the screen. Revenant, as well two other monsters who looked like humans. But stood against their own nature. The horned zombie, merely sighs at this sight as she turns the screen off.

"Then why bring them here? Why try to have them..."

The Brùnaidh questioning this reason of bringing Addison, however. The violet eyed zombie turned to him, forcing the Boar to silence his tongue. Her expression of annoyance to that of grief, in which she turned her attention to the empty town she had lived in for several years.

"My reason for the girl, is difference. With her, as well the ones who changed Seabrook. Will now do the same, but now. For the right reason. To show Seabrook and those frighten mortals, what a monster is."

Stating how while she respected Addison's vision of zombies not being creatures, but that of equal beings. She needed to see they could be more, walking out of the building with Brùnaidh following by her side. The zombie girl removed her black like cloak, as well handed it to the boar. The young woman had on that of armored like shirt connected to a skirt. The colors were dark purple mixed with dark pink, she had on fishnet sleeves as well armored boots. Looking forward, she decided to walk through the empty town.

"I'd rather go to the stake and burn. I'd rather swim, and drown in despair. I'd rather sleep, for one thousand years. Listening to the sound, of silent tears."

Singing softly as well moving passed the empty buildings, to which as she does so. Her eyes begun to glow, within each building. There was something happening, slowly enough. There was groaning like sound, she was awakening something that was asleep for months.

"But know I've return! And I'm the dead awake. Rising from the stake, to burn the modern day!"

Beginning to sing louder, as well passing that of a music store. Made the instruments play by them selves, Brùnaidh looked at threw the buildings. She had turned the humans in the town to that of horrifying creatures. They were yawning as well looking at the full moon that was above them.

"And when you hear the following tune. You'll know, you'll know! When you hear the following tune. That my reign shall begin!"

Shouting to the residents of the town, along of how they went over to each of the fallen buildings. As well started to work on them, they were changing to them to look more gothic, as well out of a child's nightmare. She continued her walk admiring the look of the former human town she's lived in for several years.

"And when you hear the following tune. You'll know that I'll be with you, That my reign will be eternal, and human kind will fall."

Explaining how once Addison as well the others would help her bring down the down fall of humans, if she convinced each of them to join her. Continuing her walk, the zombie woman looked seeing several long eared creatures cackling on the light poles. She gripped her fist as well had several tree's grabbed them as well pulled them towards her.

"I'll show them I am capable of causing such pain. With my delicate and fragile lady brain. I will not let them get away, for they will tremble before my gaze."

Looking at the long eared creatures, she made them turned to stone due to the fear of her. Snapping her fingers, the living tree's placed the on top of several stores to pose them as gargoyles.

"But know I've return, and I'm the dead awake. Rising from the stake, to burn the modern day!"

Gripping her fists at the ideal of having her revenge over humanity. With that of a new era of monsters, along of them joining her. Continuing her walk, she saw several creatures preparing the buildings for Addison's arrival as well for the others.

"And when you hear the following tune. You'll know, you'll know. When you hear the following tune. That my reign shall begin!"

Praising at how her reign will begin once the people from Seabrook arrive, the Brùnaidh growled at some of them that weren't working to continue. In which he saw how she was using whatever dark power in her to make the creatures work. They continued their walk as well how the town more to her vision.

"And when you hear the following tune. You'll know that I'll be with you, That my reign will be eternal, and human kind will fall."

Walking in front of the entrance of the town, she saw how at the creation of the normal town. Had become a nightmarish type version, with it's creature inhabiting the buildings and area. Looking at the tree's, she had a idea as the woman looked at two large oak tree's.

"They have so much hope, so much life in the sun. Never knowing the shadows, for the nightmares that will come."

Stretching her fingers out, the horned woman made both of them light up in fire. Brùnaidh moved back as well squealed at how the fire ignited on the branches, the boar saw how she made the fire on both tree's not burn away. She smiled at the sight, as well requested that of her black cloak.

"I'd rather go to the stake and burn. I'd rather swim, and drown in despair. I'd rather sleep, for one thousand years. Listening to the sound, of the silent tears."

Expressing how if this might now happen, she'd listen to the woes of the countless beings she had attacked as well terrorized over the centuries. Placing her hood over her head, she soon walked back into town. As well having the Brùnaidh, followed her as well looking outside to see if anyone noticed the dramatic makeover his mistress gave the town. As well with his message to the cheerleader, things might get interesting for them.


Next Morning-Seabrook City Hall

The next day after the strange visit, Malory invited that of Addison. Who was occupied with Zed who was concern over his girlfriend being visited by this mysterious boar. Along of Revenant, who had with him Night wing and Brit seeing how Sentinel was suppose to keep watch. Some people took a recording off the video of the incident as well the boar making a escape.

"These recordings are going all across of the internet. Their labeling it the 'pig cheer fan' as well 'Squealing terror'. Everyone is asking me if it's a possible invasion, I thought Sentinel was suppose to keep a eye out for this type of activity."

The mayor stating to Brit who was in charge of the group about what was happening as well how they were suppose to stop this. In which, Brit nodded at that. Along of walking over to the desk, to which she pulled out something that made it hard for them to look for the boar. Placing it on her desk, it was a six legged like creature which made Malory scream as well had Addison and Zed a bit freaked out.

"This, was at the Big House's security grid. Blocking out all camera's, to which this is what the boar guy used. What exactly was it called again?"

Brit asking Night wing, who had to search across the building as it was blocking out the camera's making it unable for the humans to check up on the neighborhood. Night wing, merely sighs of this particular critter.

"Their called clampers, they latch onto shiny objects. Though, they don't appear in bright areas. They stay in the ground, far away from any type of life. Annoyed loud noises and sounds."

Explaining what the creature was, along how of that it seemed impossible for these critters to appear since they were considered anti social. Zed, on the side rose his hand in the situation seeing how his girlfriend was the victim in the situation.

"Ok, maybe we can get to why the pig guy came and tried to get close with Addison."

The football player wanting to know why out of all the people in Seabrook, he'd go towards her. Addison, didn't know herself but remembered the words that spoke to her. Let alone the look that he gave towards her. Addison, walked over as well of going to answer Zed's question seeing how he was being protective of her.

"He told me about a 'mistress' he has. Along of a town, Suburbia. As well talking about 'the survivor will have her revenge'. I didn't know what that mean."

Addison bringing up what happened, which made Mallory startled at how she mentioned the town. Revenant, looked at the human mayor who reacted to the mention of the town. He decided to ad his voice in the conversation seeing how there was something that made her jump a bit.

"Mayor, while I want to believe that town Addison just said was something good. I've seen the movies to know, there's a history with Suburbia and Seabrook. Yes?"

He asked if there was a connection with the two towns, in which she sadly nodded. Walking over to the door, she locked it as well closed the blinders to make sure no one would be looking. Walking over to a closet, she pulled out that of a old film projector. As well found a film case for it to be played on.

"During the start of the Powerplant incident, we had a town that used to help us. However, when we asked for help. They didn't come, as well. That when Revenant's parents help make the Z band. We tried to find any accountable zombies that might have left the town."

Mallory explaining to them about a neighboring town that would support them, however when the zombie incident happen. They didn't come, they saw screen turning on. As well how the scientists that were given the information that Rev's parents gave to them before leaving to raise him. As well checking if there was any zombies left for them to change. They saw the zombies being treated like if they were patients, as well how there was list of zombies they tried to look for.

"There was one of them that we couldn't find, as well. Possibly went to Seabrook."

She spoke as well how the film, showed a image of a teen girl. Her name was Lulani. Along was a zombie that wasn't found during the Z band giving. Along how most of the soldiers who were with Quill at the time, saw that of a trail. In which wandered off the district of Suburbia.

"So your saying. That there could be another town, with zombies. Uncontrollable zombies let alone without anyone to help them?"

Revenant questioning her if that was the case, however she denied that fact. Along how she had several of her own staff investigate it, however it seemed impossible to visit the town. When they couldn't help Seabrook it was understandable, however when they tried to see the town. It was if it wanted to stay hidden.

"Suburbia was closed off, we couldn't find or visit it. It disappeared."

Explaining to them how that although the town didn't help them, they wanted to see if anything had happened to them. Which had to be where the creature was, Revenant. Pulling out the tusk that he took from the boar, looked at it as well knew what he had to do.

"Ok, I'll get right on it."

Telling Mallory as well leaving the office, but not before turning on the lights and unlocking the door. Leaving the room, the others follow him seeing how he was a bit upset at what he just learned. As well Zed, who was surprised at what the boar said talked about made sense. A survivor zombie of the old ages.

"I'm just as mad as you are to learn of a zombie existing outside of Seabrook. But I'm also thinking that your going do something rash right?"

Zed asking Rev on how that with apparent creature coming to town as well the chance of zombie alone in a town possibly full of humans. Then he was going get to the bottom of it. Along that it might be risky and dangerous.

"Sure, it can be rash. As well also, that we need information. Along figure out why a walking as well angry boar man went after her. As well a mistress needing her presence."

Revenant thinking that if there was anyone who could learn about this as well see where the creature came from, they needed to visit a witch. Night wing, hearing the sentence rushed over to advise against this.

"Rev. I know that there are some things I might not know. But suggesting to visit Baba Yaga is not a good idea. She will not help that of a human incident."

He explained that Baba Yaga is on neither side, but of a witch who watches from the sidelines of whatever happens that involves the supernatural. As well despises the humans for their own hatred against witches, let alone would offer a hand in Addison's case. The cheerleader, walked over to the fruitpire in which he noticed a look in her eyes.

"I was the one who got approached. So I should talk to her, besides. We ate at her house, so we're basically friends. Besides, I know how to talk to people."

Addison suggesting she should take lead on this, let alone talk to the elderly woman. While her heart was rather kind and just, let alone how she was always positive. It might not help with this certain visit. Brit, decided to head back to the big house to put out a alert for the Sentinels to see if anything else would try to sneak into town. Along how the others, would pay Baba Yaga a visit as well see if she could help them out.

Baba Yaga's home

Within the walking like home of the witch, Baba Yaga was right now humming a small song as she was right now polishing some of her bone collection. It was a pleasant hobby of hers to do whenever the summer would start. As well of preparing for several feasts she'd have with several creatures she would invite, as the elderly woman finished with making a skull brighten and shine. She summons her mortar along of her pestle as well heads to the kitchen.

"What to cook today on this rather, peaceful day. Maybe a stomach beef stew."

Thinking about a meal for her to eat, though as she heads to the kitchen. The witch felt a presence at her door, which seemed impossible due to her living house always walking. Let alone how she used old magic to keep human eyes blind, to which she looks to her door and hears a pounding.

"And just when I was about to eat."

Yaga complaining a bit before waving a finger, the door opened showing that of a familiar face. It was Revenant, as well of three others who followed him. Which was the white haired girl Addison, along the boys Zed and Night wing.

"You should have some kind of phone on you, instead of us traveling all around the graveyards that you've visited let alone the dark sides of the forbidden forest."

Rev speaking out as well of showing the amulet she gave to him in order to track down supernatural occurrences, as well Baba Yaga being one of them. The witch, lets the four in as well close's door. In which suddenly the house begins to move let along of how the movement got everyone a bit startled.

"It's because I only invite people when I allow it, getting visited is dangerous. Especially when coming with dread emotions."

Responding back to the abnormally strong zombie, in which the four walked over to Baba Yaga as she allowed them to seat on some chairs she had coming over. Floating over to the four guests, Baba Yaga gets comfortable as well looks at them seeing how something had happened to them. In which she sniffs each one as they had been dealing with some strange encounters.

"Ms. Baba Yaga. We've had that of a unsettled visit from. A boar, not a normal one but that of a aggressive one. We need to know who sent him."

Addison explaining to her about why they needed to visit her, as well looked to Rev to hand her the tusk. Pulling it out of his pocket, he showed it to the witch. Yaga, looked at the boar tusk as well snatched it quickly like if it was a piece of meat. She marveled at the sight as well how it gave off a ominous like scent.

"So, is it a good smell or bad?"

Zed asking since he didn't exactly know the method of what a possibly thousand year old witch detect when sniffing a tusk from a dangerous creature. Grabbing her pestle, she hits the ground which made her cauldron come out. Walking by itself, the bowl was full of a strange liquid which the others didn't want to ask what it was. Dropping the tusk into the cauldron, they soon see that of a dark smoke coming out as well almost smelling that of brimstone.

"Bad, very bad."

Night wing stating as he knew the smell of brimstone would mean something terrible would be coming their way. As well that this type of smoke would lead to a dark presence, which he wasn't ready for. While for Baba Yaga, merely stirred the cauldron and had the four wait to see what exactly had her as well the fruitpire frighten.


The song used in this chapter is called 'I'd rather burn' as well from BlackBriar. All rights and song belongs to them, comment for anything and wait to see what they will be coming in store for the Z gang.
