The Zombie Tournament

Act 19 : Welodge Industries' Headquarters

With gun-shaped bushes and a pair of clamoring statue of soldier at the front yard, citizen of Minopia could determine on whose company it belongs to. Welodge industries of Minopia has the privilege to erect such a massive building for their own convenience and pride. Being the sole leader in military technologies, they have most of high-end apparatus and trade secrets within this building to be reserved.

At the roof of the skyscraper, Welodge industries has created a pinnacle of Minopia’s defensive mechanism to use. One humongous-size particle disintegrator has been installed for automatic response towards any incoming assault. As the name itself had stated, its helix-designed barrel would unleash a transparent projectile to obliterate their country’s adversary in one shot. Furthermore, this weapon could reach an impending menace at any rate of distance, so King Taur Minosa has their potential enemy on radar to counter-attack whenever it is necessary to make up.

Thousands of year ago, most ancient civilizations across the continent has feared Minopia of becoming future enemies of their own. They would grant them a generous “tax” payment in a year-cycle just to gain permission on having a skirmish against each other. A toll for their intrusion to Minopia’s peaceful territory, it might be, because no experts and educated personalities could decipher on such agreement’s theories that entails.

The government of Minopia commonly exploited such magnificent powerhouse in emergency situation. However, following the success of the artificial fog that surrounding Minopia, their leader has no need of them ever since.

‘Welcome to Welodge, crystal of knowledge for defenders of humanity.’

Rolling door of the lobby has opened wide for the five of them to enter. Stripes of green and black uniforms adorned four armed soldier statues upon the water fountain at the center. Its colors intrigued Zeno Gunnar’s mind for a  history class session in Numonia’s martial arts academy. There are no exact reason for wearing such obnoxious outfit in the barren wasteland of the great continent. An utterly useless points to hide away, indeed, because the soldier’s entire self would be exposed nonetheless.

For a man of the open-field battle, camouflage’s presence laid a muck to their prowess. They could choose to put in one, but nobody could hide on the desert’s lawn with stripes of green. In the other way around, solid texture of brown on their armor is preferred, but laying no points to their warfare appearance as red-eyed sensor of the headgear could separate them away at once.

“Watch out!”

(boom!)

Suddenly, a grenade launcher zombie shots down a shell to the intruder’s front from the second floor of the lobby. Its explosion wrecks havoc onto four-armed soldier statues’ physique and dismembered them down to crumbles. Their wristwatch has one second for managing such approach, and its unresponsive circumstances laid out a question to the machine’s persistence at some point.

(boom!)

Then, another salvo of grenade was launched upon the lobby’s main entrance and obliterated the intruder’s only way to escape. The explosive shell’s outburst Demolished Welodge industries’ front yard vestibule roof, buried Deino Gunnar within large crumbles and chunks of concrete-made ceilings.

Unfortunately, the young knight had the legendary warrior of Numonia stationed on its own position, laying idle onto his feet for further command. Welodge building’s cramped-up space has been the main reason for Zeno Gunnar to put such brute power outside. Otherwise, Deino Gunnar’s unforeseen alteration has the young knight worried of a failure to their objective at the same time.

In corresponds to the grenade-launcher zombie’s blatant strategy, Zeno Gunnar align his focus to the wristwatch for overviewing his father’s late condition. From the beating heart icon of the wristwatch, the legendary warrior’s all-muscle power has seemingly endured the collapse in a way. He survived and goes completely unharmed by the fallen pillars and blocks of the ceilings above.

“Start the all-rounder, father, and get out from that pestering rubble.” The young knight muttered into his earpiece, clicking on some of the pre-formulated combination to add on the previous one he had in mind.

(Beep-beep)

‘All-Rounder mode initiated.’

Deino Gunnar’s eyes glows up in yellow. His arms was pinned underneath blocks of concrete debris. Yet, a single clench of the beast’s fist made it escape in no time and bring it to shift freely underneath. With Golden Greatsword on the left hand’s side, he drives many instances of the rubbles and swept them away. The man crushed each and every stacks of stones like a jelly to a knife, and it is all reduce to nothing by the beast’s almighty swing.

(crash)

“Graaaa!”

As the last impending boulder goes crunched up, Deino Gunnar eventually arrived on the outside area of the collapsing vestibule. He clamored over a boiling outrage of its anger. Being supressed below the five meters’ layer of the vestibule’s remains, his veins clamped up to the extent of them to nearly burst up inside out.

‘Warning, self-initiated rage is about to begin. Press this to cancel.’

Zeno Gunnar’s wristwatch informed him of Deino Gunnar’s drastic adjustment of assault. It is Juno Rumondor’s tweak once more for the legendary warrior’s wild demeanor within. In a slight press of the transparent knob, Deino Gunnar’s smoldering fire inwards got stifled up by a stoppage from the beast’s pituitary glands.

“You need to calm down, father. Go surveillance mode, please.”

(beep-beep)

‘Golden axe utilized. Putting Golden Sword to the back in exchange.’

Following the beast’s clearance from rubbles, Zeno Gunnar immediately switched his father’s mode into high-agility approach for its own emergence in such unprecedented circumstances. Golden axe’s lighter density would be moderately handled than the Greatsword in this style of battle. The man’s thinner brawn and Golden axe’s shallow vibration of courage consumption are fused into a new form of attack in an instant, yielding an additional firepower to the man in charge for fighting those boastful and full of pride.

Finishing a whole strings of command to the old man, Zeno Gunnar narrowed both eyes to his captain, which was busy in arranging his own zombie’s instructions at the time.

“All set, Simmons. Why would I need him to wield the axe, though?”

“Could that man make headway on those entire rubbles for us?” He asked, squinting his eyes towards the obstruction beyond Welodge building’s main entrance,”I have arranged a plan to have that hundred thousand dollars for our group, but it requires a quick runaway, too.”

“Really? You’re insane, Simmons. How could....” Zeno Gunnar scratched the nose, then directing his index to the top,”Is that particle disintegrator running, for sure?”

“No, I’m not planning on using that. This is just an exact replica of Minopia, you see.”

(click-click)

‘elusive mode initiated.’

Tony Simmons activated his shotgun-wielder zombie’s blue-eyed impulse. For the role, the living dead covered his automatic shotgun down his slightly-bent down posture. It dashes in obscured motion towards the stairs of where such threat exists and rolling a bit for extra ailments to the move.

(beep-beep)

Grenade-launcher zombie’s leg has been fixated to the floor and latched itself up on the platform, but its leering eyes are vigilant towards any sudden attack that might be followed. A laser aim from its eye-scope was hovering from corner to corner to search for conceivable opponents nearby.

(beep-beep)

It examines many adjacent platform within its field of vision. In such fluke, Tony Simmons’ zombie was lurking beyond the enemy’s vision, obscured behind the left flank of the lobby’s southernmost stairs. For assuring its own success, Tony Simmons has to investigate their opponent in such a tight span of time. He accessed Tonado’s local intelligence on his wristwatch, then snapped a picture towards the grenade launcher zombie shortly after.

From their group’s record, its grenade launcher is rather unique in the field of weaponry that a zombie could carry. Various forms of bomb shells could be stacked up and refilled automatically by the back-pack arrangement behind its back. To reload, the beast’s launcher only needed 30 seconds to stock up.

However, Identical to Juno Rumondor’s female zombie’s feature, another unknown mode of firearm was merged up with its knuckle to form a fist of hole-ornamented arms on the left.

(click-click)

“Darn it, I don’t have that one’s data.” Tony Simmons grumbled,”We have to cut off that one’s hand for extra intelligence to our team.”

“So? Do I have to put on Sanna for that?”

The blonde-haired man nods, “Let’s see how it reacts on my strategy first, then we could use yours for practice.”

Being adept in data collection, Tonado’s long list of spies and trackers has a lot of information regarding their opponent’s arsenal to date. Tony Simmons has the two zombies on his crew by stealing some of the military company’s latest weapon technology. However, as every advancement of machinery hastily developed in time, each and every one of their team has to revise on many forms of figures whenever it is necessary.

(tap-tap-tap)

In two seconds, shotgun-wielder zombie reached the stair’s bottom with ease. To achieve its desired outcome, He needs distraction. As the stairs located at the southernmost edge of the lobby, the “lucky-seven” would end its fluke in immediate fashion if the beast dares to move along with their plan.

“Be my guest, Deva-state. Activate regeneration buff for subject-01.” Tony Simmons smirked a bit to the sound of his own instruction, then clicking on numerous choice of command afterwards.

(beep-beep)

‘Self-defense mode initiated.’

As the pink-eyes of machine-gun zombie glimmers, so does the man’s excitement to see his command wound up in precise. No matter of how many foes they have collided, Tony Simmons is always ecstatic to interact with female zombie’s notes of command.

”Ugh, that’s definitely my reason on building you up, Deva-state.”

(tap-tap-tap)

She marched to the frontline and bringing forth the machine gun to unload. Pink modes of command prevents any rapid movement below the waist. Due to sheer points in regeneration, it lacks on adrenaline to rush up in speed, but the female zombie’s utilities was never meant to do anything under drill of haste.

Tony Simmons needs her for something different, and the female zombies provided generously in return.

(ratatatatatata)

Fifty rounds each, Fifty shells stabs.

The female gunner zombie proceeded to run amok towards their current foe of the lobby. Its stationary position determines one thing for “Deva-state” accuracy. None of the bullets dodged out, and neither of them missed a blow beyond its head.

Alas, the beast’s durable chunk of steel across its face are more than proficient to resist bombardments from the female zombie’s attack. At the same period of her constant assault, the shotgun-wielding zombie races close to the right-hand side of the grenade-launcher zombies.

Under 15 seconds window, He touched the finish line and fixed the aim towards the grenade zombie’s head in point-blank direction.

(zuuuuuuuuu)

‘Reloading.’

(boom!)

As the rampant assault from “Deva-state” got halted by one mere replenishment session, It is time for the grenade launcher zombie to present its retaliation.

(bam!)

On the right hand, it abruptly commenced a shower of flame to the female gunner zombie’s position.

(do-do-do-do-do)

Across the left, the beast released waves of electro-magnetic pulses. It instantly thrown the shotgun-wielder zombie’s body away to crash ahead over the lobby’s green stripes wall.

(zuuuuu)

To add on the instant counter-attack of grenade launcher zombie, a reinforcement for the two human intruder has arrived. There are four of the threats, comprised of fully-weaponized gigantic zombies to battle them with their miniguns.
