The Zombie like creatures all ran into the Mansion heading straight for Barron, Reyes, and Derek who were upstairs, Reyes was the first to move, she ran quickly over to the stair case while shooting some of the zombies that climbed up the banister, one zombie came at her and tried to bite her but she shot it in the mouth, the zombies she shot all fell to the ground but began to get back up and before they could she pressed a button on her gun and the bullets still lodged inside the Zombies exploded killing them and any Zombies close by. "Nice, my bullets are effective!", she said loud enough for Derek and Barron to hear, Barron nodded and looked at his father who then ran out, holding his hands out. "My turn it seems like!" Derek's eyes began to glow white and two katana's appeared in his hands, one was grey and white and the other was white and grey, they gave off a cold aura and for the right reasons. Derek ran at a quick speed, he'd trained for years to better his speed in attack's, swinging his blade's, they were quick and precise, killing off most of the Zombies,and any that weren't killed by his blade's when Peirced, were frozen by the effects of his ability when he merged his inner power with his Katana's. After a while though Derek began to feel tired, and more Zombies were coming, he retreated back to allow himself to rest and Barron stepped up, "guess it's my turn now, eh?", Barron hopped onto the banister and shot some lightning from his fingers through the roof of the mansion, debri from the ceiling fell onto some of the Zombies killing them, and Barron shot two Zombies of the side of the banister with the electricity from his hands. Then he jumped down from the banister, holding one palm down to the ground he activated his powers sending a shock wave of electricity straight for the many Zombies below.
All the zombies bodies seized before they fell like domino's, and Barron landed in the middle of them, as soon as he landed, he ran straight for the last remaining zombies, swinging his sword and slicing off limbs, while shooting any that came close with lightning, he had much better technique, and when he fought he made note not to use up to much power and energy so he wouldn't tire out to fast. He noticed that a few of the zombies were dodging his attacks, which had to mean they either weren't zombies, or they we're just zombies that had brains.
Either way, Barron knew this would be a pretty tough fight if they we're self aware, "let's see you dodge this.", he said under his breath as he ran around the zombies, activating his power and using it to up his speed, he came up behind one of the zombies and lodged the sword right into its back, and quickly pulling it out, before he could be hit by any other zombie near by, he ran over to the next and did the same, it took a little for them to understand the pattern, once they did, he wouldn't be able to do this anymore and he would need to activate his swords dormant ability. Reyes and Derek had both been upstairs allowing for their energy to replenish as they used up a lot, once they we're able to hop back into battle though, they did, helping Barron fight off the zombies.

Candice fell to the ground when she finally got through the other side of the portal, "ouch, that wasn't a fun ride.", Candice frowned as she got off the ground and dusted herself off. "Candice, do you have any idea where you teleported us to?", Amelia asked Candice in confusion, and Candice stood still for a moment, she hadn't really thought about that, she didn't know how to set a exact destination, she just opened a portal and hoped it went anywhere but back to her home. "Well, you see...-", Candice said nervously, and her lack of an explanation earned her a slap in the back of the head by Amelia, "Seriously Candice?! I think jumping from the second floor would of been smarter than teleporting us somewhere we don't know!", Amelia complained.
Wendy raised her hand and cleared her throat as if to get everyone's attention,"well, technically, if we jumped from two stories, we'd all be either dead or injured heavily, this was a better plan to be honest.", Wendy said with her usually emotionless tone. Dashi sighed and frowned, he was still holding a heavy body, they needed to find someplace to stay, and fast. "I hate to cut your bickering short, but can we find somewhere to stay so I can put her down?", Dashi said, and the others nodded, forgetting he had been there entirely.
Alexandra stepped in front of the group, being a detective, she was familiar with many area's, this being one of them. "This area is familiar, it isn't that far from Your friend's home Athena.", Alexandra said with a nod, it was the area with that case involving the man who died mysteriously, she wasn't sure how it happened or who did it at the time, but now she had a feeling that there was so much more going on than she originally thought. "Let's head this way.", Alexandra lead them all through the forest, a few times Amelia squealed when she ran into a spider web or saw a bug she was scared of.
After a while the group came up to a small cabin in the forest area, "that looks creepy as hell, you realize this is where characters die in scary movies right?", Amelia said, trying to convince the others that they should not go in there, but her claims were dismissed as the others followed Alexandra into the cabin. "Ugh, I should of stayed home today.", Amelia whined, following them into the cabin, the sound of thunder heard very far behind her.
As soon as they entered the cabin, Dashi rushed over to the closest soft thing, which was a couch, and he laid Quinton's unconscious form on it,"Okay, now that we aren't in immediate danger, how the heck do we wake her up?!", he asked, slightly annoyed, he did not plan to carry her everywhere, she had legs, eyes, and a brain, she was capable of doing that herself.
Candice crossed her arms, Dashi was right, they needed to wake her up, carrying her would slow them all down, "Someone douse her with water, maybe that would work?", Candice suggested, and Wendy nodded, "Sure, I've got you.", Wendy walked over to a sink in the cabin and checked to see if it worked, luckily it did and she turned it on, then she searched for a bucket. eventually finding one she picked it up and slid it under the faucet, letting it fill a little with water, once there was a little bit of water in it, she went over to Quinton and didn't even hesitate as she threw the water on Quinton.
Quinton gasped and sat up instantly when the water hit her, she opened her eyes her hair was covering her face at the moment drenched in water, she moved her hair from her face and rubbed her eyes, "what... happened?", she looked around and yawned, suddenly remembering the intense shock she felt and the last thing she saw. "System activated...?", she thought to herself. Suddenly, the moment she thought it up, a screen appeared in front of her.
'Name First & Last: Quinton ???

HP:100
Stage: ¿Human?
!Error¡
Recalculating...
Stage: Soulet
Current stats:

Quinton looked at the screen, reading everything, this didn't make sense, she'd never seen this System thing in her life. she looked around at the others, it seemed like she was the only one who could see the system, but this didn't help her in the slightest, she didn't know anything about this system or how she obtained it, and this meant she had more problems to deal with now.
Before she could close out the System, more messages began to appear.
New Unlocked stage:
Congratulations, you have progressed to the next stage, you are now a Soulet.
Soul's stored:
¿Error?
Souls have been reset to 0.

Quinton skimmed over the new messages, curiosity getting the better of her at the thought of seeing what would happen if she completed the Quest. But the question was, where would she find souls to collect? And why did she need to collect them?

Barron, Reyes and Derek all continued to fight off the Zombies, there were so many Zombies and only three of them, there was no way they could fight all of these Zombies off by themselves. Barron was taking the most of them out with his swords special ability, against one of the more intelligent Zombies he ran around the Zombie trying to find an opening, holding his sword up he swung it and activated it's special ability, the blade of the sword began to lose it's solid form and wrap around the Zombies arm like a snake, it tightened around the arm and solidified once again and it's sharp ends cut right into the arm, causing the Zombie so screech, once the arm was cut off, the sword turned back to normal and Barron continued, doing the same to the other Zombies that were heading towards him.
He knew he couldn't do this forever, and he found himself getting tired, him, Reyes and Derek didn't have much energy left to fight, "I didn't think there'd be this many, we have to get out of here, we can't fight them all!", Derek said in a serious tone, Reyes and Derek both agreed that this was not a fight they would win.
Before they could leave though, the Zombies stopped coming towards them and instead, began to move out of the way for someone to enter. The sound of footsteps could be heard as two people walked in, a woman with short black hair and brown eyes, she was a relatively tall but slender woman, and beside her was an odd looking man, he had on a hoodie and had one brown and one green eye. some type of green goo was coming out of his green eye and they all noticed it. Barron, Reyes and Derek looked on in caution, they didn't know these two and had to be careful.
"I'm quite shocked, never thought a few super humans like yourselves would sacrifice yourselves for the outlaws, and a nosy little detective.", the woman spoke, and laughed. "Who are you.", Derek said while on guard, and the woman looked at him, "Ah, I apologize, I never introduced myself.", the woman smiled, "The name is Mia, that's all you need to know since you'll be dead soon.", Mia looked over at the man with the green eye and gave him a nod. the man walked up to them and opened his hands, the veins inside his arms turned a bright green and his green eye reacted as the goo oozed out, hitting the ground, the guy was going for Reyes first, and she shot at him with her gun but every bullet that came at him hit something invisible and shattered on impact, "What the....", Reyes said in shock, as the man continued forward. but before he could touch her, Barron shot lightning at him. the man, Barron knew he couldn't hurt the man, but he could distract him, he didn't know what the guy was capable of and he wasn't going to let his mother die like this, "Don't touch my mother!", Barron yelled at the man.
The man then turned to him and then looked at Mia, Mia nodded, and the man smirked and faced Barron, "Then I guess I'll just have to take you out first.",the man said, Derek and Reyes didn't have any time to react as the man instantly dissapeared, Reyes looked over at Mia, or where she had been standing, but Mia was gone.
