Chapter 24 - Arc 2- Chapter 5

*Starfire's Pov*

It was easy to kill those zombies, I slashed their brains and they immediately went down.

The strange thing is that even though Shirley had gone into her space and wasn't around to attract more zombies with her screams, the zombies kept on coming as if they were summoned.

Little que's physical body stayed in the backseat of the car since it will be weird to find a high powered child so we didn't reveal his powers.

'Little que, is there an high level zombie around here?'

[ Yes host, there is a level 7 metal powered zombie at a rooftop near this place]

'I knew it. It must be summoning the zombies here to take care of us, we might have stepped in it's territory. The weird thing is that this didn't happen in the normal storyline'

[ Hmm... Maybe you changed the events?]

'How could I have caused such a change? Are you hiding something from me?'

[...]

{ Don't talk, if you don't talk, she won't get the whole plan}

I know little que is hiding something but now my main focus is on that level 7 zombie, with it's nucleus, I will be able to level up directly to level 7 and it won't take me long to reach level 8. But I am not stupid, it will be a great battle to overcome it and I will have to use some cheats even though que told me I am already as powerful as a level 5 human because of my soul.

'But first, I have to slip away from this brother of mine'

[ I can create a distraction for you, should I do it?]

'Yes please'

An explosion went off in the middle of the fight, dust and sand flew everywhere, it was hard to see and everyone was coughing and straining to fight the zombies, the good thing is that the explosion took out a lot of zombies.

[ Ok host, while they can't see, you should use this time to slip out]

With Little que's guidance, I made my way to the level 7 zombie.

I immediately jumped to the roof top and launched an attack towards the zombie's head, it seemed to have anticipated it cause it ducked out of the way and faced me.

I smiled, narrowing my eyes at it when I noticed it looked like a normal human with it's black hair and smooth skin, the only things that gave it away was it's completely red eyes and the dark circles around it.

It looked at me and smiled eerily before it roared.

[ Host, do you want me to translate the zombie roars for you?]

'Wait! You can do that?!'

[ Yes host. Do you agree or not?]

'Yes, translate it'

[ Translating... Done]

"Wow! You are a feisty one huh?" The zombie asked smirking.

"Seriously, I came to fight you and yet you are thinking like that. Are you sure you are a zombie?" I asked before launching a quick attack at his head which he blocked with a metal shield.

"So you can understand me? I am impressed" He said without looking surprised.

I smiled a little more as I tilted my head.

"You don't sound very impressed and I don't feel like this fight is fair, you are using your super power while I am using nothing"

"I never stopped you from using your power so it isn't my fault, I know you are trying to reduce my chance of winning this fight but it isn't happening" He said winking at me.

That was indeed a plan of mine, a super powered zombie is twice more powerful than a regular zombie. If he stops using his powers, I will have a larger chance of winning.

"You are really a strange zombie. Level 7 zombies at most should just have the intelligence of a 12 years old human but you are smarter, could it be that you still have your memory?" I asked curiously as we stared at each other.

Few zombies retain their memories and they are usually more powerful since they have higher intelligence than most zombies.

"I wouldn't just reveal that to you, right?" He asked smirking before raising his hands to send a box of metal towards me.

I ducked as my sword lit up with fire which I sent towards him.

"I really wanted to test my combat skills and not use my powers but you just had to force me." I said, sighing in regret before sending a barrage of explosive fire towards him.

"Now this is what I am talking about. This is way more interesting, don't you think?" He asked smirking as he used his metals to protect him, the metal melted a little upon contact with my fire and I smiled in delight.

Our powers are far apart and my fire can't really do that much damage to him, my best bet is that I land a blow to his brain.

We continued exchanging blows and used our powers to combat one another.

"Wow, you are really good" I said smiling brightly before looking around at our surroundings.

Our fight was so huge that some buildings and cars surrounding us were wrecked.

"You too. Sorry, but I have to go now, make sure to stay alive for me. I love sparing with you and will be slightly devastated if you die." He saluted before leaving without a trace.

"I wasn't finished yet~" I pouted a little before relaxing on the ground.

[ Host, the zombies has stopped attacking here and Kyle finally has the time to look for you]

'That zombie could fight with me while still controlling hundreds of zombies, he was definitely playing with me before'

I smiled brightly at the challenge before returning back to Kyle.

"Didn't I tell you not to leave my sight?!" Kyle exclamined angrily while I just stayed silent.

I came back to meet a livid Kyle, he has been scolding me for the past 30 minutes and didn't allow me to speak. One thing that I noticed was that he was now in level 5, he might have upgraded a long time ago but since his aura was calm, I didn't detect it but now that he is angry, it was easy to figure it out. It is slightly weird that he is in a higher level than he was supposed to be but I dismissed the thought.

I looked at him and imagined smoke fumes coming out from his head, I giggled a little in my mind.

[ Host, can you focus on his scolding and stop making fun of him? You know your priority is Kyle and he could have gotten into danger if he looked for you]

'Don't behave as if this isn't partially your fault. You were the one that led me to the zombie, plus if I didn't do that, he would be in greater danger'

[...]

{ Host is actually right, why did my host have to be so smart?!}

Kyle finally calmed down and went directly to the car without looking at me.

'And then he will say he wants me to be in his line of sight yet he won't keep an eye on me now'

I rolled my eyes secretly and shook my head.

[ Host... Can't you just behave normal?]

'I am behaving normal'

[...]

{ My host's behaviour is really...}

I followed Kyle to the car and saw Little que still in the backseat of the car since all this time.

'Little que, have I ever told you that you are lazy?'

[...]

{ It's not my fault}
