The muscles in Shmoo's legs were burning now. She knew she had to defeat these robots soon or else collapse from exhaustion. As she dodged a blow to her head, Shmoo noticed something. The bots seemed to slow down for a little while and come back again. While they don't have to rest like living creatures, they can't run on batteries forever either, smirked Shmoo. Using her new knowledge, it was easy to take down only a few robots with a few mighty swings.

Shmoo was about to make another attack, but just then her legs crumpled beneath her. Luckily, this caused her to miss a oncoming robot's attack, but her legs were now useless to her. This is really bad!

Sitting pathetically on her knees, Shmoo was running out of ideas of what to do against these bots. *Clink Clank Clink Clank* She heard some strange sounds and looked toward the source. A few feet away, a group of kids were throwing rocks at the Zero Bots. "Leave her alone," they cried and tossed a few more of the pebbles at their targets. The stones were not doing much damage, but it certainly got the robots' attention. A few of them started to move toward the children. "Leave them alone!" cried Shmoo. She tried to stand but only fell back to the ground. It was bad enough that they were attacking me, but now this fight has let some children into it. What have I done? I should have moved our battle outside of town. Shmoo hung her head with remorse and tried not to cry.

The children did not seem afraid of the advancing mechanical foe. They held their ground and began to gather more rocks. "Run away!" bellowed Shmoo, "They could seriously harm you!" The children looked at one another but did not move more than that. Shmoo was not about to let a bunch of metal harm some innocent children, just because they took the liberty to help her out. She clutched Demon's Wrath in front of her.
There has to be a way that I can stop them, she thought. Closing her eyes to concentrate better, words formed in her mind. Akyubon! Shmoo opened her eyes in alarm. The sword grew hot, close to burning, and had a faint blue glow to it now. The heat seemed to flow through her whole being and vibrate. Her legs began to strengthen once more and Shmoo found herself standing. An unseen force moved the sword in her hand to attack position.
With renewed strength, Shmoo raced to the children's rescue. "Leave them alone," she shouted and brought the sword down. There was a flash of light and all of the bots that were headed toward the children exploded with a deafening roar. The children looked on with wide eyes and even wider smiles.

With the power that was released from Demon's Wrath, it wasn't too difficult to finish off the rest of the Zero Bot Army. After the danger was over, the children raced over to where Shmoo was standing. "That was incredible!" they exclaimed, "We're so glad you are all right."
"You were all very brave and I appreciate the help, but I don't believe it is safe for you kids to fight these robots," said Shmoo. "They are too dangerous. You saw how I fared."
"Yes," said one small girl, who looked about eight, "but you were alone. We have each other."
Something inside Shmoo told her the girl was right. She was alone. She would need to find teammates if she hoped to reach Zero.
"Thank you all again." Shmoo raced off in search of more robots.
***
While Shmoo was searching, she spotted something that looked like a beggar going into a house. Shmoo sighed and crept to the window to see if the residence needed her help to get rid of the trespasser. What looked like a beggar from afar turned out to be a sugar-seeking zombie. The zombie was tearing through cupboards and pantries devouring all of the sweet items it could find. Shmoo was flabbergasted. And I thought the robots were a nuisance!

Shmoo raced to the aid of the imposed-upon family. The zombie was too busy eating to notice Shmoo creeping up. *Slash* The zombie fell without a fight. Before she could check to see if the family was hurt, several zombies crept passed the window. With a quick goodbye, Shmoo raced out the door, after her new foe.

Shmoo caught up to the zombies with ease. With a few swipes of her sword, she felled one zombie. The other zombies turned around. They held up their arms in a classic zombie pose and headed toward her. Shmoo held her ground. Repulsively, the zombies began sucking up some of their saliva into one giant slime ball. They then began to shoot the balls at Shmoo. Despite being grossed-out by the zombies, she swung her sword and cut the drool. She heard a sizzling sound and looked down at her sword. The saliva was eating away at the metal on the sword. Apparently, their spit contains deadly corrosive acid! thought Shmoo.

Shmoo dodged the oncoming spit attacks of the zombies. Unfortunately, the avoided spit hit surrounding houses and stores, leaving gaps in the structures. Now I really have to get these zombies out of town. They are more harmful than the robots!
