The skeletons Chen was fighting would reach up for him as he jumped overhead, fingers scraping at him as he passed by but not quite reaching high enough to stop him. Because of their reaching, their arms would take most of the blow of the kicks, sending one to its knees and the other one stumbling forward. The standing one would jump forward, claws barred as the man landed.
The skeleton charging Joseph would slow as its chest was pierced. It's arms seemed to lock in place, but its legs worked fine, and it continued its charge--until an ice blade struck its leg, putting it on one knee. It would drag itself along with one foot, mouth agape ready to bite Joseph if it ever actually reached him.
The entity under Deitric tried to grapple him, but the tomahawk to the head put an end to that. It froze in place, before going limp, as the CPU that governed its actions fizzled.
Blue's ice blades dug indiscriminately into the remaining skeletons. Three that had finished up ganging on one of the few living grunts turned to face him and Lazenca. With screeches, they--you guessed it--began the long charge at the two figures.

He didn't quite knock them down, but it was enough of a result to keep him satisfied. With the one lunging forward with its sharp looking claws, Chen kicks up his left foot, smashing it into its face. The claws would likely have the range to bring tears into his clothing, but for the most part, he would be able to use the kick to move it off just enough for him to aim and fire a bullet right through the skull.
At this time, the clip falls out of his gun, emptied, as he rolls to the right to avoid a possible onslaught from the second robot. Getting to his feet, he holsters his gun and runs immediately to the door of the driver's side. Opening the door, he jumps right in, the key thankfully still in the ignition. Turning it, the engine starts up, keeping his eyes on the side mirror to keep notice on the skeleton he left behind.
Slamming his right foot onto the pedal, he takes the wheel and drives forward quickly, shouting out of the window at Deitric and Joseph: "Grab on!"
They were wasting time fighting these things. They had a city to secure.
For Chen, he had a goddess to avenge.

Joseph fired a burst at the Zombie’s head hopefully killing it. Running over to the survivors he waited for the shock of the Battle 2 where off. “Alright mates you all need to find an APC and get the hell out of here. The boys up top are sending reinforcements, but I think they are gonna wipe us off the face of the earth. Get the Hell out while you can, that’s an Order!”
Hearing Chen he grabbed hold of the drivers side door and climbed up onto the roof of the vehical. "Lets kill us some Zombies!"

((Hold up--Chen, that's way too many actions considering the position the zombie is in. Usually I'd just interrupt, but since you're requiring responses from other players, I'd like you to keep actually driving off in the car until you've successfully made it there.))

"..." The point was for Bleu to actually follow. But it was fine either way... they had the skeletons' attention. It was good to know Bleu had ice magic on him, too.
"Cmon, then..." Lazenca ran to meet the oncoming skels and when in attack range, turned with a tornado kick that sent jagged lines jumping the three foot gap from his feet claws to their chests-- the fact that they're probably in some kinda wide triangle was accounted for by making the kick arc wide. . It was timed for the foot to miss... Lazenca would have just those three feet, half a second, to see if the slashing attack had any effectiveness on them. If so, they'd probably stop and have lines torn across their chest. If not, lol.
No time to think, just to react.

((I know that I cannot move off until it's legit, so it's why I am waiting. And I figured since the zombies are sort of NPCs that are capable of being defeated that you would allow for it. I'm trying to keep within the boundaries of what's allowed and what's not, so I'm sort of having trouble here with my roleplaying. >> ))

Kraun The chimera's face twisted into a lazy-eyed sneer, quite possibly with a hint of annoyance mixed in there as well. Well, wasnt this nice and dandy. Zombies things. He HATED undead. Releasing his grip around Athan's collar and letting him fall face first into the dirt, he issued a quick order to the man who had appeared and asked for direction at a time like this. Oh yeah, and he ignored the 'what's wrong with him' part, 'cause he didnt know, nor did he really care that he had just beat up and dragged around one of his own 'teammates'. "Take this one in for questioning." he said, followed by a glare, so that he wouldnt have to deal with any questions pertaining to the situation and the man specifically, and then he just ran straight into the center of the camp as that giant cleaver appeared in his hands out of thin air, because it was zombie killing time, spittle already starting to foam at the mouth, the look in his eyes both one of rage and insane chaotic glee. ((And this is where I generically disappear until I come online and figure out what's going on.)) Athan was left in the care of one of the Greywater mercenaries, and with the help of another nameless grunt, Athan was dragged into the safety of a nondescript, apparently safe for the moment, APC. Athan awoke minutes later with a pretty severe headache, but at least he was better off than some of the mercenaries. A quick look out the window revealed what everybody else in Frostschild already knew. There were zombies everywhere. "God...dammit." Athan slammed his right palm into the button to lower the APC's rear door, and all of the zombie robots would bear witness to the armored swordsman, sans sword, standing at the APC's entrance. His face was stained with a mixture of dried blood and mud. But most importantly, he looked pissed. "OI!" Athan's right hand lowered, fingers balling up into a fist. "Which one of you is going to die first?"

"This is why I didn't want to help" Bleu said as the zombies charged
"Strip away the ground with glistening blades! Bolt!" Bleu held out his hand and a black cloud shot up in a verticle angle Before shooting out a bolt at the zombie farthest from Laz. His orb still floated keeping him warm.
Edit: The bolt is headed for the zombies face so that the charge spreads out over the entire body.
Bolt- Creates a small black cloud up to five feet in a desired direction up and down included, which then fires a single bolt of magical electricity at a predetermined target.
Strip away the ground with glistening blades! Bolt!
Sunstone-Creates a small orange globe in the spell users hand which will float and follow the spell caster or move according to his will. Keeps the area at an even 65-70 degrees F(18-21 degrees C) with a radius of 30 ft. (Obtained in gaia event Unity)

((Don't assume anything about characters under someone else's controls, even if they are NPCs. We'll go with your post this time.))
Seeing Chen finish off two of the zombies easily, and seeing Joseph jump into the vehicle, the two surviving grunts ran for one of the last APCs. One of them was grabbed from behind by a zombie-skeleton and dragged down, but his companion didn't care at this point. Without another thought, he jumped into one of the few remaining vehicles and took off into the tundra, leaving it all behind.
The three skeletons Lazenca intercepted stumbled backwards, each taking damage to the chest. This gave them pause for a moment, but once this moment was up they would surge forward again, claws of their own outstretched.
One of the zombies takes a bolt, and halts for a moment. It moves slowly, jerkily, as the joints of its extremities fuse. It's still 'alive,' just incapable of any practical movements.

((Sorry for seeming like a noob there.))
"You coming," he shouts to Athan, driving the APC over toward him.

Athan wasn't much of a hero, but he needed to vent. Athan stepped out of the APC and started walking forward. One of his 'allies', a nameless grunt that had maybe helped him out, maybe not, had been dragged down by a robo-zombie-skeleton.
Not cool.
Chen was ignored temporarily as Athan broke into a slow run, attempting to scoop the zombie off of the grunt. If he was successful, Athan would take a half spin, his right hand gripping the zombie by its midsection, before stepping towards and pitching the robot towards the nearest solid object. In this case, the wall of the Treatment Facility was going to be the robot's resting place.
Only if the zombie stopped twitching would he turn to look over his shoulder.
"...Depends on where you're going."

Well, that was abrupt.
Deitric yanked the tomahawk free of the thing's head and turned to see the oncoming APC. Taking the cop's prompt advice, the red-skinned fighter hops up, managing to scrabble onto the side of the vehicle, then inside the back passenger compartment.
"Any clue what the hell those things were?" he asked, keeping his weapons out and about just in case something changed.

Chen already knew what Athan favored above everything else. He could easily tell it from the way he did things and how he replied to Chen since they first time they met. So, he would answer simply for the favor of getting Athan to come with them.
"We're going to go have some fun."
He then answers Deitric: "They're creations of a company called Cat Cradle."

After a few moments pause, the zombie Athan hurled into the wall would pick itself up and shamble towards him. The shamble turned into a walk, walk to jog, jog to run, and soon it was charging the swordsman.
The soldier Athan had saved remained curled in fetal position, hyperventilating.
