 Lucius Cypher ۩════════════════════════۩
"Where there is Distress, therein lies a Story.
Where there is a Story, therein lies a Will.
Where there is a Will, therein lies a Soul."
۩════════════════════════۩
After the alien managed to kill the Zombie Leader, the horde began to dissipate. They seemed less ferocious, and more confused, as though they had no idea what was going on. The other Zombies, not as smart but still some what independent, tried in vain to control the situation, but after Lucius managed to slice off the straps of the large zombie, he ate his head, and began to feast on the rest of his body. There, the last semi-intelligent zombie fled the battle field, taking his troops, leaving behind the stragglers or zombies still in combat.
After Lucius feasted on the large muscled corpse, he noticed that the zombies began to retreat. There was still some standing ,though they where just doing that, standing. A few continued to fight, though it was perhaps out of the fact that they did not know they have lost. Lucius jumped form his elevation onto an unsuspecting zombie, eating it in a few bites, and proceeded to clean up the corpses, living or dead. Before long, Lucius and the rest of the rag-tag survivors managed to push back the zombie menace, leaving just them. Lucius was trying to grab a zombie that was crawling on the ground, as it had no legs.

That annoying voice kept screaming at them… it was female, that much Tora could figure out. But ********, what the hell did it want them to do? Snap and make them all go away? It didn’t exactly work that way! Gritting her teeth, Tora continued to hold her arm as she moved back again, her ears trained to the things going on around her. Bartholomew was barking orders, no one was listening. Sydelle was doing fine, seeming to get along well enough with her pet. Verra was having too damn a good of a time with all this s**t, but he at least got the worst guy done and over with. Nodding a bit in appreciation, she raised her gun and shot one of the last few ones that were still around. Apparently, most of them were smart enough to get away.
By the time the mass was gone, she slowly moved over closer to the others. None looked too shaken. This had become something normal, really, but that didn’t make it any easier. She didn’t speak, merely putting her gun back in her holster. Her eyes weren’t o anyone in the group, but instead on a certain blob eating a zombie. “What in the hell is that?” Maybe she shouldn’t have put her gun up quite yet, but she wouldn’t use a gun to get rid of that thing… fire would be best. But, it did eat zombies… but what else did it eat?
And where the ******** was that stupid voice?

Fumi saw the alien raise his weapon, aim it straight at the metal-armored zombie, and, in slow motion, saw him pull the trigger. The zombie looked down, as if wondering why there was a huge hole in its chest, then collapsed like a falling tower. Fumi gave a big sigh of relief, but she couldn't be happy for too long. Now the zombie crowd's link was severed, but they were still there, and Fumi was pretty sure they didn't have the mentality to escape. Some did, but most of them just mulled around, spurring into action when it sensed something living nearby- namely, her.
Eventually, the zombie horde was killed off, and hopefully, it was finally just the fighters in the junkyard. Fumi decided now would be the best time to introduce herself. She lifted herself off the ground, floating an inch or too from the dirt. In her state, however, with most her energy drained from the bullet wound and from darting in and out of zombie crowds during the battle, floating seemed an effort, and Fumi decided to just stand.
A zombie crawled toward her on its mangled arms, having no legs to walk on. Fumi didn't think it saw her, as it was too busy trying to escape the dark blob chasing after it. Out of reflex, Fumi whipped out her knife and stabbed the zombie in the head, killing it instantly. The blob was still coming forward, though, and in a panic, Fumi finally appeared, as a grimy girl with long, dark hair and ripped, bloody clothes.
She held up her hands frantically. "W-wait!" she cried. Could it understand her? She could only hope it could. "Please don't eat me!" She sort of waddled around the monster, leaving the blob in piece to eat the zombie, the wound in her calf reducing her stride to a limp. She then faced the other people, keeping her hands held up. Things had really gone the way she'd planned it to. She hoped she didn't startle the other people too much. Before they decided to shoot her, Fumi spoke frantically to explain herself. "Don't kill me either, please! I didn't mean to startle you, I just saw her-" she gestured to Sydelle and Grr, "walking around, and then I followed her up to the safehouse, and then I followed you all to the junkyard. But really, I didn't steal anything! I mean, just a piece of bread, but I hadn't eaten, and I only took a little bit, and it just looked sort of..."
Fumi trailed off into silence, realizing that she was starting to babble, and blushed."Sorry."

 Sydelle WestYou're not a hero, you're a liar...
Sydelle frowned at the girl now fending off a strange creature. Yes, Grr was noticeable. That was no reason to be stalked. She debated letting the thing eat her. But there was no guarantee that it would and she was in no mood to deal with disturbed comrades. "Is there a reason you didn't think to speak to one of us?" She asked dryly. "I'd imagine it would be easier." She called Grr back. The behemoth agreed grudgingly. It stared at the creature in part curiosity, part annoyance. He didn't like competition. The puny beings around him weren't nearly as big of a threat in the monster's mind.
...you're not a savior, you're a vampire.

Verra's hackles lowered as the zombies began to dissipate, those that weren't frightened off being sniped easily by their rag-tag team. "******** shhhould have known what's what from the ssstart," he clucked with an air of finality, then snapped his head around to stare at the two new faces... or one new face and one new blob... type... thing.
"Tora! Which one 'a these queersss looks more like a threat to you?" A fool might immediately jump on the blob, but the girl, even if she was bleeding, had managed to follow them this far. All thoughts of her being an acceptable ally vanished with the start of her babble, however. The alien bounded down the pile, landing in a pile of zombie at some point and proceeding to send the guts flying with each subsequent movement. He tumbled to a halt in front of the pair, prowling around to stand near Sydelle and barely stooping to come eye-to-eye with the girl.
"Quit your chatter, it's unneeded here... why did you follow usss?" he purred. His grin was anything but friendly. Instead of pulling a gun, Verra slid a grenade from its pouch, twirling it between sharpened claws. Bombs tended to provide more of a shock value. "And are you in any way related to this... hrm... masssss?" Here, he shrugged in the general direction of the blob. "Hunting down innocent byssstanders, hm?" This was almost certainly not the case, but this girl seemed like, with a bit of pressure and accusation, she'd spill easily.

Fumi gulped and tried hard not to flinch as the alien, Verra, leaped down from his position atop one of the junk piles and landed right in front of her. He grinned at her, but there was no humor friendliness in his eyes. He took out a grenade, holding it in his claws. Fumi could see Sydelle staring at her dryly from behind Verra. Her stare was unnerving. Verra questioned Fumi accusingly, and Fumi couldn't help but feel a bit of indignation. She didn't hurt any of them, after all; rather, she'd been trying to warn Bartholomew before a zombie cut him down.
Fumi paled and shook her head rapidly. "What? No, I would never kill innocent people! And I've never seen that... that thing before, really!" Fumi swallowed. She tried to act more... bold, sort of, if she was going to get any of them off her back. "I-well... I thought I could help, wherever you all were going. But that kind of didn't turn out well..." Fumi glanced down at her poorly wrapped calf. The wound had bled through the cloth, turning it a dark red.
Then, when Sydelle addressed her, Fumi frowned, not really sure herself. Her figure flickered, fading in and out while she spoke. "I suppose I... I'm ... sort of used to just following people, I guess. And I wasn't really sure whether or not you guys were good or bad. And I didn't want you to shoot me earlier too... But I swear, really, I mean..." Fumi glanced at the bomb in Verra's hand, then turned her gaze down to her feet.

Lucius didn’t even notice the girl after she stabbed the zombie in the head. In his mind, he was still focused on eating. But after ripping the zombie to bits and jamming them into his mouth, did Lucius notice the situation he was in. He turned up and looked at the group he was stuck between; an alien creature, who was heavily armed with laser weapons and explosives. Another was a girl, but she seemed to be looking at Lucius as though she was formulating a plan to kill him. Her pet troll didn’t make Lucius feel anymore comfortable.
Lucius began to back away, but found himself leaning against a wall of junk. He could try to make a break for it, but with the alien and his bomb, Lucius wasn’t sure if he could make it out unscathed. If he made any sudden movements, Lucius was sure they would react by trying to eliminate him in what ever ways they sought necessary. They began to talk to the girl though, making references to himself. And though it may have been better to say silent, Lucius thought it would ne a good idea to let them know who he was. ”… I-I-I am not a blob! M-m-m-m-y name is, L-Lucius…” Lucius began to shrink. Maybe he should have stayed silent. Maybe he shouldn’t even had shown up. But he was here now, and he really couldn’t do much about it but hope and be ready for a fight. He kept shrinking until he was about half is original size.

Sydelle West You're not a hero, you're a liar...
Sydelle was really starting to tire of the girl's babbling. "So you're used to stalking people." She said with a raised eyebrow. "Lovely." She turned to the blob, which was now speaking. "It speaks." She murmured. "How enchanting." She sighed. As if zombies weren't enough, now they had to deal with stragglers and grotesque looking beings. "What are you then, Lucius?" She asked, making no effort to be polite.
...you're not a savior, you're a vampire.

“Stop your ******** blabbering.” Snapping at the girl, she stepped forward, herself and Verra nearly side by side. It was obvious who was the least trusting… As for threats? Neither would really be a threat, but she could tell who she didn’t like more than the other… Gesturing with her head, her arms remained crossed as she looked at the blob. “That one actually did something, it seemed, and he hasn’t been stalking us… This chick?” Her golden eyes regarded Yumi with contempt. “You said all you did was follow us? Real wise, girly… Stop your damn whining, you sound like a kid.” Her eyes remained narrowed. They were wasting time… she had to get to the ship and this wasn’t something she wanted to deal with. Still… if this girl was following them…
But, the real threat probably was the blob. No… not blob. Lucius? “Alright… Then what are you, Lucius? Some zombie eater? Anything-eater?” Now, that would be a good thing to have around… They already had an alien… Wait, what was she saying? This wasn’t permanent… she was just going to get to her ship and get the ******** out of there.
“Better question… I don’t give a s**t if you two are here together, apart, enemies, friends, I don’t care. But what the ******** are you doing here? And you, girly, you were that damned annoying voice. Where the hell’d you come from?”

As if Verra, Sydelle, and her troll weren't scary enough, Fumi practically shrank in fear when Tora stomped up and started questioning her as well. Well, she wasn't actually asking questions. More just... yelling at Fumi.
She almost sighed in relief when the three turned their attention to the blob - Lucius. Obviously, the whole 'pitiful pleading girl' act just wasn't working for Fumi. But she just couldn't help it. They were scary enough when they were yelling at eachother back at the safehouse, they seemed doubly scary when they were yelling at her.
Tora rounded on Fumi again, biting Fumi with fierce words. Fumi was confused. Hadn't she already answered those questions. She swallowed again, this time paying good attention to her words, so as to not babble. "I-I already said, I ... thought I could help, and followed you. I've been here the whole time. Just, you ... couldn't see me." Fumi's figure flickered again when she said the last sentence. An invisible girl wasn't that hard to believe, she hoped. After all, there was an alien and Lucius present, Fumi could've been considered ordinary.

Bartholomew stepped in the middle of the circle, his arms raised in peace. "Now, now, no need to start yelling. We wouldn't want any more visitors. Now, To our two newcomers, my name is Bartholomew." He looked over at the girl, his attention sharply directed to her wound. "Did you get bitten? Naw, too much blood for a fight. Here, I brought my kit.." He started to mutter, reaching into his bag and pulling out a large first aid kit. "Now, shall we take a look here, or the safehouse, which I assume you are familiar with?" He asked, his eyes shining.

Verra slowly turned unblinking eyes upon their assumed leader. "Are you ssserious?" he deadpanned. "Where is your sssense of sssuspicion?" He flitted nearer to the girl, misshapen nostrils flaring and black tongue peeping out. "She sssmells funny. And she sssomehow got here without any of us detecting her." Internally, he was rather furious with himself for not noticing the addition to their party sooner. He'd caught a few flickers of movement here and there, but his brain wasn't trained to focus on such things like the human mind was... still, it was no excuse. Let the humans die, but he wasn't about to succumb to an ambush.
Or, rather, another one.
It had just generally been a shitty day so far.
"And what about you?" Here, he rounded on blob. At least it, too, seemed intimidated. Verra smirked. Between Tora, Sydelle and him, they could probably fight off a horde with looks alone. "...Luciusss." He took care to drag out the name. "I noticed you taking chunks ssstraight out of the rotten ********. Aren't planning on taking chunks out of us, are you?" As the alien spoke, he edged nearer to Lucius, examining the creature intently. "And just what the ******** are you, incidentally?" The irony of the question was lost on Verra.

Lucius backed away when the alien neared him, but he was already pushed up against a wall as it was, so the best he could do was stretch upwards. Some of the strangers asked who he wasn't, and to be frank, he did not quite know either. At least, nothing specific, like a race of creature. He only had one solid answer, and it was still a bit sketchy. "I... I am an a-a-a-abomination... I was created to, t-t-toil and work, for my master. But she disposed of me. Now I simply... Eat. Flesh, living or dead. I... S-s-sensed these creatures, zombies, you call them. I eat them, w-w-when I can. I had... No intention... Of eating... You..." Lucius paused multiple time between his words in his last sentence, as if he was expecting them to attack or interrupt. Now that he had a good look at them, they did seem like an odd bunch. Then again, Lucius was a black gooey creature with bones coming out of his body, so he wasn't exactly a candidate for normality.

Sydelle West You're not a hero, you're a liar...
"A creature that does nothing but eat." Sydelle said dryly. "How comforting." She moved closer, but still behind Verra. If that thing was ravenous she had no intention of being on the menu. Besides, she'd always wondered what aliens tasted like. "So your owner threw you away. That's not a very good testament to your usefulness." Sydelle pitied no one, especially those who made a point of making themselves out to be pitiable. If the woman who made this thing had no use for him, she doubted they could find one. She turned to Bartholomew, certain that the man would probably allow the thing to come back with them, as well as the stalker chick. His heart was more than soft enough for that. "Shall we begin venturing back?" She suggested. There was no way to leave them here, since the girl had already been following them. That, combined with her babbling, was quickly putting the female on Sydelle's bad side. Which, admittedly, a lot of people were on. But this girl didn't have much usefulness either. Not a good business associate. Which meant Sydelle would have no inhibitions about leaving her alone in a zombie infested world.
...you're not a savior, you're a vampire.

Luckily, some gardeners left some of their equipment in the park. "I'll start digging..." Desirae spoke grabbing a pair of shovels. "Hey, Ventes! You can help." she called out to their stalker and threw him a shovel. Meanwhile: "Hey, Aunt Elle! Just how did you manage to..." Tina was cut off by Elle shushing her. Elle stared straight ahead intensely in the distance. "Sirens...watch out for their voice. It's the same as a sonic boom. Stay on evasion while carrying that girl." she informed and ordered aiming an arrow and holding. "Drama queen..." Tina joked staring off in the direction where Elle was. "I don't see a damn thing." she said right as one of the Sirens screeched blowing off a chunk of a building. "Oh I see them now! Damn!"What came soaring in was a hellish version of a Greek or Roman tale. There were three Sirens each about the same size. Standing the same height as an average human woman but the arms were large wide wings that had missing feathers and holes. Each of them were severely rotten in their limbs and bleeding chunks of coagulated blood. Standing firm, Elle carefully aimed and released! She charged off after her arrow. The Siren in front yelled and shattered the arrow. Elle had vanished at that point. "Show off..." Tina spoke as Elle reappeared in the center of the group slamming her heel in the back of the head of the lead Siren causing it to flutter about wildly. (( sweatdrop I seem to be out of it right now. I've been having increasingly bad days at work. Sorry))
