Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Final Raid

The group were surrounded. To the front were Swift, Tantrum, Power and Grimm facing the Goblim BroodMother. Behind the bus Lazy was pressed against the door as Hellacious and RifterMax crept closer and closer to him. Simultaneously Power threw up an ice wall between them and the BroodMother. Lazy used his Psionic power, ripped the back door off the hinges of the bus forming a cone shaped spike launching at the two corrupted players. Both groups climbed inside the bus and regrouped.

"What do we do" one of them yelled!

"I have no idea! I wasn't expecting it to end like this. Anyone have any plans?" Swift said with panic in his voice.

"Power break the stone on Nitro and pull him in, I'll try and drive us away and we can form a better plan" Grimm said. "Swift try to keep those two busy and Lazy can you do anything about the BroodMother?"

Lazy quickly paused and thought. "I mean yeah I can, but I'll be using all my mana left. Meaning all I'll have to fight with is this sword." Under his breath he says "I seriously need to make weapons for myself when we get a chance."

"Fine do it" Swift said.

Power opened a window and used his weapon to break the spike in half and pulled Nitro inside.

Tantrum ran to the back and swiftly swiped at Hellacious's nose. She yelped and reeled back before getting closer and growling. RifterMax started to chant a spell but was briefly stopped by a Wind Blade from Swift.

Lazy used the last of his mana to control the car barricade forming an ben larger metal hand. It grabbed the back of the BroodMother, raised it into the air and threw it at the corrupted players.

BBBBBOOOOOMMMM

The BroodMother came crashing down on the two. Grimm started the bus as soon as he say the BroodMother in the air. When we landed to sent the bus spinning and ramming into the barricade. The group was sent to the floor, expect for Grimm who was buckled up in the drivers seat.

Sssssccccrrrrtttt

The bus peeled rubber and quickly drove off to the edge of the parking lot. Grimm drifted the bus again turning it to face the monsters. To everyone's surprise the corrupted players were having a stand off. The group waited and watched what would happen.

Hellacious stared at the BroodMother while growling at her in a low volume. RifterMax tilted his head. It was like he was looking through a broken lens. The BroodMother was, from what the group could tell, speaking in goblin and pointing at the group in the bus. Hellacious looked over at the group and then look back at the BroodMother confused.

Sssscccccccrrrrreeeeeeee

The monster started screeching louder and louder at the two but they did nothing. They only kept their distance and focus on her. The BroodMother lashed out swiping at the two. Hellacious jumped out the way with RifterMax on her her back. The two started to shake their heads in unison and scream out in pain. Whatever was happening in their brain was confusing them.

The BroodMother started to puke up more goblin babies. She started to order them to move around and they followed her orders. Once again she ordered the corrupted players but couldn't hear her over the pain in their heads.

They both started to screen louder and louder then both instantly stopped. The entire area was quite. The group was holding their breath in anticipation. The only thing everyone could hear is the squish and slosh of goblin babies moving around.

Simultaneously the corrupted players got into an attack position and attacked the horde.

Hellacious jumped in the center of the horde of goblins and spun around. Her tail knocked over some while sending others flying. While spinning she would bite one on the neck and use it like a bat to hit the other. RifterMax launched two fire balls at the mother as a weird purple and white wormhole opened up behind him.

Ssssssscccccccrrrrreeeeeeecccchhh

The BroodMother screeched from pain and confusion. Tuffs of hair and skin were light ablaze as tears ran down her cheeks watching her babies be eating. In a fit of rage she clasped her hands together and slammed down onto Hellacious. Caught off guard Hellacious took the full impact of the hit and was slammed into the ground. A small crater was made underneath her. She shook her head and looked up as the BroodMother was slamming her arms repeatedly into her body.

CRACK CRACK CRACK

Everyone could hear the bones break as the monster slammed repeatedly into her.

RifterMax finished with his chant and and out from the wormhole stepped out a horde of goblin skeletons. They marches in unison with only their boney claws as weapons. They started to claw and bite and tare at the BroodMother.

She emptied her belly puking up the last of her children. The hordes matched in number with the corrupted players leading the undead and the BroodMother leading the living. The group on the bus was unsure which to help. The looked upon the insuring chaos of the fight.

Hellacious quickly carried its wrecked body to the back letting RifterMax and the undead fight the goblins and their mother.

"Who do we help" Grimm asked in a timid manner. "Should I heal Hellacious? She is a player. Although I don't like the look of those undead."

"I saw we help them. When I killed the shaman whatever affect it had over them stopped and they seemed to be coming back to normal. Let's help them. How is everyone looking?"

Power stood up saying "I have a little mana left but can't do too much, I can still fight with these" he lifted his shield and hammer.

"I have less then half but I can heal everyone during the fight."

Lazy chuckled. "Sorry guys. I'm completely out of mana. I just have your borrowed sword. I can't rmember help much. Although. I can drive the bus into the mother if you guys wana do something else?"

"That's a good idea" Swift said "if you ram the bus into the mother it'll show we are on their side. Grimm you go heal Hellacious, Power guard him just in case and I'll start to fight the goblins and BroodMother. Lazy just make sure you are off the bus"

Lazy jumped into the drivers seat and started to make his way towards the BroodMother. The rest of the group jumped out midway to the fight and started running.

While that was happening RifterMax was shooting bolts of fire into the Mother as she swung at him. He would occasionally be hit and sent flying a couple yards. Hellacious was behind the horde laying down licking her wounds. The two hordes were both like children fighting. Clawing and biting at every opportunity.

BEEP BEEP

Lazy honked the horn drawing the attention of the BroodMother. As soon as she turned the bus drive fight into her. She fell over grabbing the bus and throwing it over her. The bus was sent flying as the BroodMother laid on the ground in pain covered in bruises and ribs sticking out of her. RifterMax took the opportunity and started to throw huge bolts of fire on her body. His skeletal horde were beating the goblins to a pulp with the help of Swift. He was in the fray swing his sword wildly with Tantrum biting and tail swiping. Occasionally they would have to defend themselves from a skeleton or two.

Behinds this Grimm and Power ran up to Hellacious. She started to growl at the two. Power had his shield and hammer at the ready while Grimm slowly walked over to her.

He extended a hand saying "easy girl. I don't mean to hurt you. I'm here to help you."

He stood only a couple feet away from her and raised his hands. A shining yellow light started to imminent from his hands and shoot itself into her. She went to attack as the light hit her. As her claw drew closer to his face she realized she was moving. He bones were no longer broken but fractured. Her cuts and bruises were either gone or barely visible. Even her fur covered in blood started to disappear leaving behind her shiny coat. She retracted her claws and sat back down allowing him to heal her.

During the fight the BroodMother was nearing death as her children were dead. They all were coming back to live as zombies under the command of RifterMax. He saw the players helping and allowed them.

Lazy slowly regained consciousness in the bus. He was hanging upside down in the drivers seat.

"Thank god for seat belts"

He unlatched his belt falling to the ground in a groan of pain. He climbed out the window seeing the once enemies now temporarily allies fighting this BroodMother. She was standing up swiping at the skeletons and zombies to no avail. They crawled up her body biting and eating her.

Even the group felt nauseous and sick to this sight.

After a few moments the BroodMother fell to the ground dead.

[Raid cleared!]

[All killed players will be brought back to life and experience will be distributed accordingly]

The group cheered in excitement. Near where Lazy laid Nitro respawned. He looked around and quickly raised his gun aiming at the undead and RifterMax.

"Dude relax" Lazy said "they are no longer under their control. We won!" He gave out a cough.

"Oh. Seems like I have missed a lot" Nitro said while helping Lazy on his feet.

Looking at the horde of undead the BroodMother stood up. The group was slightly scared of what would happen next.

"Uh…do we fight them now" Nitro asked?
