Fortress City?

Mark went inside the vehicle that Isabelle drove and Layla and Liza also went inside that vehicle together with Mark. Whilst the others scattered along with the other two vehicles.

"Liza, Layla", Mark called them out. Liza and Laula just nodded as they peered out of their window. Slightly aiming, some sort of light suddenly arose from their eyes with a sort of a mystic feel and connected with their hands. They then shot the zombies outside whilst Mark was observing them.

Mark sat beside Isabelle whose face was still flushed with a bashful, he then touched her forehead as she asked, " Are you alright Isabelle?", Isabelle's face turned redder as she felt the touch of Mark, she then nodded quietly with a 'fumu' sound.

Mark then smiled as he peered out of his window with his pistol. He then aimed the gun and in his blue eyes traced some sort of red circle that resembled the marks on the scope. His eyes then contracted along with the red circle and took a shot completely hitting the heads of the zombies.

Following the road towards the town, they were in, they drove quickly so that the zombies won't be able to follow. Marie sat down on the vehicle in which Ariel drove and on her mind appeared the image of Isabelle kissing Mark. 'I—, she kissed him! I, I! I want to do it too!', her face then flushed as she imagined that scene.

Ariel then looked at Marie whilst driving through the rear-view mirror and asked, "Are you alright, Marie?", Marie then was surprised by the sudden voice and just said with a stutter, " Y-yeah, I'm alright, I-I'm just thinking about something."

Ariel then looked at her beet red face again and smiled mischievously which was not known by Marie. Ariel didn't smile for long, as she drove faster to arrive at the tow much faster.

Though, their peaceful talks did not continue for long as more zombies came ahead of them. They then halted to a stop whilst Mark said, "There are more zombies here!"

Then suddenly, a giant creature appeared behind the thousands of thousands of zombies. Just then, Lance shouted loudly, knowing what the thing was, "MUTANT ZOMBIE BOSS!!"

Mark heard that shout as he followed Lance shouting, "EVERYONE RETREAT!", he then proceeded to aim towards the Mutant Zombie Boss. The giant zombie then pointed towards Mark's group and the zombies followed where the giant zombie pointed at a terrifyingly fast pace.

Mark then subconsciously chanted a mixture of unknown words and the pistol he held was suddenly engraved with mysterious patterns and characters whilst Mark loudly shouted, "Enlaim!" and took a shot towards the giant zombie.

The giant zombie then swiped its hand to counter the bullet but as soon as it touched the bullet, it suddenly screeched in pain. Lance whose eyes were intently starting towards the zombie then shouted with glistening eyes, "Enlaim! The legendary spell to purify undead!"

The others who were in the vehicle he was in, looked at him with a face saying, "Spell? are you a child", Lance then, as if knowing what their minds are saying said lightly, " I know you're thinking of me like I'm dumb as a child, but then, saying that you have superpowers is a child's doing, right?"

The men and women whose gazes contained the very saying of 'you're a childish dude', then stopped as they remembered the scene where Mark turned their enemy into an ice sculpture that was made of blood.

Looking satisfied, Lance smirked, 'hehe', he had a smug look on his face as he then looked towards the car that Mark was in then a sudden flashback occurred in his mind.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A man with clothes with a color mix of black and red then set out his palm as he chanted, "Enlaim, @#$%&, $#%@&, &%$#@", then circles made of light with various characters and matters appeared as it sent out a beam towards the creature in front of that man. The man then shouted loudly, "Die! Undead King!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The image then disappeared from his mind as incomparable came instead. Thea, who was beside him then asked, "Lance, are you alright", Lance just nodded whilst Thea just said, " You can depend on your older sister okay."

As the giant zombie took the shot, Mark who shot the giant zombie felt as if his energy has been drained. He then shot once more with great difficulty but the giant zombie blocked it again with its hand and once again screeched in pain as its hand had been torn off from its arm.

Mark then felt as if his body went limp and fell back to his seat. Isabelle then looked at him with worry and distress and asked, "Are you alright!?", Mark then, just said, "I'm.....alright.....just.....exhausted....retreat...now"

With tears in her eyes, Isabelle then said lightly with a hint of relief in her voice, "I'm glad", She then proceeded to turn the vehicle around swiftly and drove back. The other two vehicles did the same thing and drove back towards the destroyed cathedral.

They then gritted their teeth as they couldn't go towards the town and decided to find another way around. But before they could go anywhere, a large horde of zombies stopped right in front of them and stopped them on their tracks. There was also another Mutant Zombie Boss!?

Jeanne then loudly shouted, " WE'RE TRAPPED!", everyone then was anxious, they couldn't go back and they couldn't proceed. At that time Isabelle then shouted, "GO TOWARDS THE FOREST!", the forest was on the right side of them.

Gritting their teeth, they stopped going forwards and instantly turned their vehicles to the right side, towards the forest. They had no choice, right now, Mark was exhausted, no one was as strong as him. They couldn't possibly beat two Mutant Zombie Bosses.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside the forest, Arizuare then said, " I sense their presence here master. What should we do?"

The white-haired girl then turned to look at the area where they sensed the presence of humans and a certain someone. "It's too early for us to reveal ourselves."

The white-haired girl then grabbed Arizuare's shoulder and said, "Transfer", they then disappeared out of sight and the place they were in was cleared without a trace of any people going there.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Driving as fast as they can, they were followed by the zombies towards the forest. Their vehicles were mostly protected, so there were fewer scratches that a car would have driven through such a dense forest.

The Mutant Zombie Bosses who were following them deforested the trees with their hands. Now the people inside the vehicles were truly anxious. They slowed down since they were in a forest, it was hard to drive through, but then the zombies kept up the pace.

Liza and Layla then started to shoot as well as Jeanne, Elaine, Thea, Silvia, and Lance. They shot the zombies who were very close to catching up and cleared them out one wave after the other.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a certain place, inside a certain room, a woman with brown hair sat on the chair whilst her hand was laid on the table. As her red eyes stared at the door as if ready to kill.

Suddenly the door opened, a blonde woman with cold blue eyes entered, she then said, "Commander, there's a zombie horde incoming, I can hear it."

The brown-haired woman then nodded as she said, "Ready the soldiers, prepare for the attack", hearing the commands, the blonde woman then nodded. She then went outside and shouted, " Ready yourselves! a zombie attack incoming!"

Hearing that, the soldiers, both men, and women immediately stood up and went to position as they aimed their assault rifles forwards. There was even a freaking machine gun ready.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isabelle, Ariel, and Ryle's fianceé drove the vehicles as fast as they could. Mark then, recovering a bit, started to shoot but without him using his abilities.

Isabelle then, as if familiar with the forest, said, "We're almost out of here!", they then drove faster and faster and got out of the forest and were led into a wasteland were almost nothing exists except for that one city up ahead.

Seeing the vehicles driving through, the soldiers were about to shoot, but then the blonde woman shouted loudly, " Don't shoot them!"

Nearing the city, Mark and the group along with the survivors saw the fully armed soldiers ready to attack and were dumbfounded, were they in a war or something? Mark then thought inside his head confused, 'Did they notice the zombies from that far?'

The soldiers opened the gates and let the three vehicles inside and the vehicles then stopped after they arrived. The gates were closed again and the blonde woman shouted, "FIRE!", they started to shoot.
