[EV-F1] "Fear the Reaper!" (pt. 2)


Recommended Posts

Crawling up once again from the depths of hell. Somehow, they were still moving. Somehow, there was still a part of them that drove them forward - chasing after the one thing the darkness in their mind allowed them to know. But in their clouded mind, the smallest hints of rationality that still remained spoke: something was wrong. They had lived and died twice now. The first, they no longer remembered. Not their name, nor the town they lived in, nor the family they held dear. By the time the second came, they were just one of many. Designed to maim and kill, driven by their insatiable thirst for the life they would never have. They remembered racing forward. Sinking their teeth into anything that smelled alive. Oh, that didn't matter after all; it's not like their organs were still functioning to digest anything they ate. Truth be told, they could have continued "living" without eating a thing. Pointless actions for a pointless existence. 

But it was their only existence. And Death had ripped it from them once again. Tore them to pieces. Malicious green flames - burning them from inside out. Wailing in pain. Cursing the Heavens. If this was the only World to return to, they shall rather have never left Hell. 

And then they woke up.

There was only one thing to do--

--Arabelle cleaved another zombie in half and tilted her head.

"Huh, that's weird. These guys are kind of hard to distinguish from each other, but I just got the feeling I saw that one before."

Oh well. Humming happily to herself, the small scythe-wielder went and killed the rest.

"Really...?" An said, distantly. The zombie in question fell back and turned to data fragments, disintegrating with a loud wail of pain. Poor thing, her clouded mind idly thought. DIdN't iT aLso hAVe a famIly aT one poINT? "Must be in your head. They all look the same to me."

Yeah. Any other day, she would have wanted to pay attention to every single detail and try to learn everything there is to possibly know about a mob, but today they were all faceless irrelevant combinations of 0s and 1s with a realistic appearance assigned to it. Gosh, she was so tired. With how long they had been going, they had to have passed the halfway point already but every single thing that happened since the zombies first clawed their way up from the soil was starting to sort of blend together in a confabulating mess that disoriented even her sense of time. For all she knew, they could have just been in here for less than an hour or so.

Arabelle's attack left one at critical health. She was bone tired, but it was her time to shine! Taking on the mob as soon as it went for Arabelle, An thrust her rapier forward and watched with disappointment as her attack did prevent it from damaging her teammate, but it managed to evade and stay alive for a little bit longer.

Well, they didn't have the time to dwell on that.

Arabelle twirled her scythe in her hands and deflected one of the attacks that came her way while An handled the other. By handling the other, she meant... just deflecting the attack instead of straight out killing it. By the girl's expression though, that had been a mistake. Heck. Arabelle looked up at her energy values - still at a high enough value that she can regenerate enough for another AoE if she downed her last energy drink.

So she did. Deflecting another attack from the mob at full HP,  the small purple-haired girl didn't make any move forward but instead grabbed her last energy drink from the inventory and popped off its cover. Keeping her eyes on the mobs around them, she tipped her head back and drank the entire disgusting thing in one gulp. Whew, finally! No more energy drinks after this! She sure as hell wasn't buying any more, no matter how useful they were.

"I'm giving you another chance, An! Go after that one, I'm going to try for another AoE to wipe out the rest!"

Another chance...? Wait, why--?

The silver-haired player watched as her teammate purposefully ignored the mob she was supposed to kill in favor of downing another energy drink. Oooohhh... She could barely hide her jealous stare. Even though she had been doing AoEs left and right, Arabelle didn't look as tired as her right now and she could only attribute it to the girl not spending as much time on low energy as An did. It tasted bad, Arabelle had said at some point earlier. But An would take a foul-tasting consumable over this neverending lightheadedness that she just wanted to be rid of any day.

Alright, Harriette, don't waste your chance!

She was pleased to see that her rapier finally made contact with the mob at 1 HP. An drew it back and slashed across its throat for a good measure then leaped backwards - straight into the path of the other zombie. She made a small, embarrassingly high-pitched sound of surprise, and threw herself out of the way of the rest of its attacks.

...Only to make contact with 1 HP Zombie's fist and almost black out at the strength of its attack.

"Oh, damn it! You're not even supposed to be alive after that! I made sure!!"

And just like that, An hit a mob, mob regenerates, mobs hit her, An pretty much almost died.

No offense, but at this point, Arabelle thought giving the girl her encouragements was just jinxing her or something. An always seemed to hit a mob better when she kept quiet, and somehow managed to do even worse when she was actively raining her compliments and nice gentle words. That was weird. She thought positive reinforcement always worked! Arabelle was internally screaming as she laughed along sheepishly at her partner's frustration. Understandable. 

Then the rest of the zombies rolled in, filling up the two empty slots.

An at low HP. Arabelle at low energy, but just enough to do another AoE.

Fiiine, I'll do it myself.

God, she was glad she didn't choose this very moment to regenerate her energy out of combat instead.

"Shi-chan..." Arabelle held her scythe in front of her and poured the last of her energy into it. She could literally feel it leaving her bones and manifesting as a green flame around her scythe's blade. Her strength began to wane midway through, but still she pushed on - the flame glowing larger and larger until it practically swallowed up her scythe in a malevolent green inferno. With shortening breath, she spoke out the last words and poured in the last of her strength.

"Eradicate them."

The flames of her inferno raged as she strung along the undead on her deadly dance. It consumed one who dared to get too close to land a blow. She scorched the flesh of another and stabbed her scythe's hilt into the ground, spinning around it so that the other zombie that was advancing met the flames of her scythe instead of the player it had aimed to attack. The last one had a bit of a head on its hands. It hesitated. But Arabelle wasn't about to let a delicious extra kill get away. Her lips pulled up into a cruel smile. She launched herself into the air, pulling the scythe out of the ground along with her, and using its weight to crash the entirety of its flaming blade on the last zombie's head.

Arabelle landed on the ground, exhausted, but not so much that it didn't warrant a stylish flip of her hair as data fragments dispersed around her.

Not again, not again, not again!

An was practically on the verge of latching onto Arabelle when the other girl stepped in front of her. But she didn't because 1) she was super short and An would have to bend down and end up in a bit of a weird position and 2) she didn't want to get in the scythe user's way. She was scared. She didn't want to budge, or even shift her attention slightly to summon her battle-ready items. All she could focus on was the sheer number of zombies in front of them with only Arabelle to take them all on. They were going to kill her. They had already taken her by surprise earlier and brought her HP down by almost half. What's stopping them from using their superhuman speed and hunger for human flesh to get to her again?

Then the small purple-haired girl called her weapon's name. A sudden, very uncomfortable warmth wrapped around her and An had to take a step back - as if staying too close would get her burned to. The flames consumed her weapon. It consumed her too. An didn't even mind that there was something... off about how it felt. Instead, she watched with bated breath and crimson eyes wide with admiration as their enemies dropped one after the other. There was no stopping her, not until every last one was dead, and when they were... Arabelle turned back to her with a smug flip of her hair.

She was... beautiful.
