dust settling and fire crackling sfxCathy took the lightning bolt to the chest, crashing through the other side of the house, obliterating the living room in the process.James Karawei: "Cathy! You damn bastards... I made a promise. I won't hide anymore or run away. You're going to regret that. I will fight... I will live, and anyone who touches my friends will go down!"I pointed the metal pipe Jasmine had before she got taken, i had taken it with me for protection— It was time to use it, i pointed it at the zombie-like kid. He smirked, barely glancing at me before turning his gaze to Cathy, sprawled across the wreckage of the house.Normand Ariston: "Sorry, sis. You should've joined when you had the chance. You're staying out of this, understand? I'd hate to kill you... you were the only one nice to me."Before I could react, Normand crouched, and the other one—the Raijin kid—blurred out of sight, leaving only skid marks burned into the asphalt.James Karawei: "What the hell?"Normand slammed his hands into the ground. A sickly green color spread across the earth, bubbling and twisting as eyes and mouths emerged from the dirt. The ground itself came alive. Before it could lunge at me, Jack leapt forward and slammed his fist into the ground.Jack Daniels: "First Step: Pouncing Tiger!"Jack spun mid-air, landing a three-kick combo that sent Normand flying into the burning cop car. He turned to me with a grin, his confidence radiating like an idiot who had a plan.Jack Daniels: "Hey, James, next time don't piss off a zombie kid before I'm warmed up, yeah?"We both froze as the flames on the car turned green, eyes and mouths forming in the fire. The flames slithered along the ground like snakes, racing toward us.I swung the pipe, and a bubble burst from its tip, releasing a shockwave that extinguished the fire. The blast sent the three of us hurtling into the nearby Red Woods.We landed with a heavy thud. Raijin watched from the top of a tree, a smug look plastered across his face.Raijin Hogo: "You, with the three ponytails. You're mine. But for now, I'll let you play with Normand. Kid deserves a raise."Jack Daniels: "James, maybe don't use your powers just yet. I'd like to keep my head on my shoulders, thanks. Don't worry—I've got this. I should've been more careful against Nakamura, but now? I swear I'll never lose another fight. Not with you, not today."Jack took a step forward, cracking his knuckles with a wild grin.Jack Daniels: "Glorious! Truly! I've been dying to try these techniques on something other than straw dummies at home. You'll regret messing with James's house—it has damn good property value, you idiots!"(A/N* this legit looks better than it should and honestly... this is EXACTLY how i imagine Jack to look like, ignore the goofy ahh text bubble, couldn't get it to look natural and yeah these are the "RedWoods", just imagine the trees and leaves red.)Normand grabbed a rock, his smirk widening as it twisted mid-air into a snarling, zombified creature.Normand Ariston: "Thriller: Despicable Gift!"Jack kicked the zombie-rock away, crushing it under his foot with ease.Jack Daniels: "Pouncing Tiger: Predatory Burst!"He dashed forward, trading blow for blow with Normand. The kid crouched low, fighting with animalistic precision despite his small frame.Normand Ariston: "That's all you've got? Weak. Filthy. Get out of my sight, you weakling!"Jack Daniels: "Not even close, zombie-chan! My sister taught me all about you Syndicate creeps before I knew you were evil. And now? You're going down! She also taught me the Ten Steps to Divinity!"I rushed in, swinging the pipe at Normand's back. The pipe turned into a zombie once it connected with his back, its teeth sinking into my arm.James Karawei: "WHAT THE—AGHHH!"Normand cackled, grabbing Jack by surprise and hurling green blood in his direction. The droplets twisted into snarling creatures mid-air, latching onto Jack's arm.Normand Ariston: "Kill me in five minutes, or you'll both become my zombies. Your call, wannabe heroes."Clutching my bleeding arm, I turned back toward the house. The odds were against us, but there was no turning back now.James Karawei: "Cathy cares about you, you damned moron! You're the worst brother I've ever seen!"Normand laughed as he turned the bubbles I fired at him into zombies—Popping into a gruesome scene, sending a spray of green slime in every direction. He closed the gap between us, his foot slamming into my chest. My shirt came alive, biting into my skin as I struggled to rip it off.Jack stood up and rushed again at Normand using his "Pouncing Tiger", they traded blows again but this time Jack did a leg sweep and punched Normand into the ground, the kid kicked Jack off of him and turned the whole forest floor into a giant zombie, swallowing us and some trees into the ground.Normand Ariston: "Thriller: Great Harvest!"He laughed as we fell into the zombie-floor and landed in some sort of damp cave, there was a giant maw in the ground now which was our only source of light.Raijin stood at the entrance of the hole and looked down on us... cocky bastard.Raijin Hogo: "Hurry up or I'll take Gravity back to HQ, you wouldn't want your dear friend to be tortured, would you?". He had the audacity to laugh and walk away towards the house! Unbelievable... i dashed forwards and slammed my fist into the ground, out came 10 bubble spikes that popped upwards and sent us back outside.James Karawei: "I'm not weak anymore... aha... this is crazy! You damn zombie bastard! Turn your ability off! Or else... I'll..."Jack holds his hands out as he twirls in the air, like a human bullet his fist connects with Normand and punches him into the ground with great force and speed.Jack Daniels: "Second Step: Manic Hunter!"Normand spit out green blood as he clutched his head, his toy crown completely destroyed... he got up slowly as he stared at us and ripped off his blanket.Normand Ariston: "You made me bleed...? Ahh.... Ahh... AGH.... FATHER! THEY HURT ME! WHERE ARE YOU?! FATHER!"He hit the ground hard enough to break his wrists, he threw his head around frantically and suddenly knelt down and looked at us with a death stare.Normand Ariston: "If my sister loved me— loved us... she wouldn't have left that night, AGH! DAMN IT! Thriller: GRAND CORPSE MALADÉ!"He hit the ground hard as everything in the forest turned into zombies, plants and bugs and rocks flew at us with great speeds, trees bent over to hit us and the very ground bit at our legs as we tried fighting off the horde.We heard a great cry as Raijin flew past us and got knocked into Normand, Cathy was there with tears falling down her face and clearly pissed... she threw the once burning cop car at them as Raijin punched it downwards into the ground, killing it... well... at least turning it back to normal.Cathy Ariston: "Get away from my brother!"He ran so fast towards Cathy the three of us got knocked further away with a shockwave, the two of them were now fighting where my house once stood, the grain fields tarnished with debris and the sounds of shockwaves and yelling.Raijin Hogo: "Stay out of this! Gravity!"Normand along with all the zombies and both me and Jack got knocked backwards, the various plants and wildlife turning back to normal, a particularly big tree hit Normand in the head and he got knocked out...Normand Ariston: "Sister... don't leave me... please... i—"________________________________________________________________________________Author's Note:Yo!
