For a second, Crunk was frozen in place as he looked at the person that was standing in front of the Wild Bones with his strange weapon being held out.
'I haven't gotten my ability too long ago, but this is the first ti soone was able to stop my attack so easily.' Crunk thought. 'My heated finger blast can even lt tal, so how is his sword able to block my attack?'
Ever since receiving his ability, Crunk had no trouble facing off against zombies or threatening humans to do his bidding. Just like back at school, people were naturally following him and listening to him once more because of his power and now it had been stopped just like that.
Crunk scrunched up his face.
"Hey! Who the f*ck even are you. What are you doing getting involved in soone else's business!"
So fixated on the reunion of schoolmates, Crunk as well as the others, had failed to notice that there was a person that didn't quite fit the bill. Although Zain was older than the others, it wasn't by much. He was, after all, only a university student.
Dali, now stood behind Zain and was looking at the weapon that had literally saved his life. It was one of the new ones that he hadn't recognised before. Still, even he was confused as to why Zain had gotten involved.
So far, during the journey, there were tis where Zain seed to have little interest in helping the group. If there was sothing that he could gain from it as well, then he would do so.
Which made Dali wonder, what was there that he could gain from this?
[New quest received]
[You are being attacked by a group of superhumans]
[Survive the attack, or make them retreat!]
[Reward: Silver card]
There were multiple things for Zain to gain out of this alteration. For one, there was the reward for a silver card, which made Zain think that this task wasn't too hard of one, at least for him.
On top of that, he had a chance to grow his army, and add a new super zombie to the team.
"Move out of the way! Otherwise, I'll have to kill you as well!" Crunk shouted.
It seed that whatever had caused Crunk to be stunned, and silenced, for a few seconds was no longer working as he reverted back to his regular self.
"Brother, why does that man want to kill us?" Wiz asked, shaking after he could see what he could do with his fingers.
How was Dali ant to explain this situation to his brother, and would Zain continue… No, could he even protect them all?
"You guys helped obtain the crystals from before, and I still haven't gotten you to the Zombie Hunters base yet. So I will protect you." Zain said, as he started to walk forward.
"I wish to join the Zombie Hunters." Zain said, as he walked forward. "I want to have a fight with you. If I win, then I join the Hunters. If I lose, I won't get in the way."
Before saying anything, Crunk looked at the person, up and down. His body wasn't abnormally large, he didn't look well built. The only worrying thing was the weapon he had. Which made Crunk think that the weapons, or their state, might be an ability that he had.
'Another ability user, if I win the fight and bring him back with , the base would reward greatly. Even if I lose, he will co with us anyway. I can still give payback to the others.
'By then, it will be too late for him to do anything, and the other mbers can stop him if necessary. Besides, I doubt he would do such a thing, if he has interest in joining the Zombie Hunters. I guess this is just a little act from him, a final farewell to his comrades. He can live peacefully knowing he did everything he could to help them.'
"Alright, I accept, let's see if you have what it takes to beco a Zombie Hunter." Crunk said, as he laughed and stepped forward.
Zain did the sa and the two were around ten tres away from each other in the car park. There wasn't a completely clear area, as there were a couple of destroyed cars towards the side of the two of them.
The Wild Bones had actually decided to hide behind one of these cars, as they watched the fight from afar.
"If he tries to zapp us at least we have a bit of cover, and he can't say he hit us by accident during the fight." Nit explained to the others.
"Hey… are we going to dart while the two of them are fighting?" One of the mbers asked.
"What!" Dali said, turning around and nearly hit his fellow gang mber but soon stopped himself. "Don't you understand, we were the one that brought him here. We were the one that got him into this ss and without him we would have died twice now, and now you want us to run."
The mber felt ashad after hearing Dali's explanation, but it was in human nature to want to survive, and honestly based on the past of the Oil Burners, they felt like Crunk wasn't going to make this a fair match.
To top it all off, there was a high chance that all of those that were with Crunk were ability users as well. Judging by the deep smirks they had behind Crunk on their faces, it seed to very well be the case.
Zain pulled out the white and black swords, and was ready to try out his new weapons, to see if he was ready for the Reborn group.
