An Ex-Monster Rejects Death [Open]
how had she gotten so lost? she’d been running from the zombies and somehow managed to get herself to these docks, and had no idea how to get back to the ruined house she’d been using as a makeshift shelter.
and the zombies were still chasing her too, figuring she could use what looked like a bridge in to get across the lake and potentially choke off some of the zombies
unfortunately, that didn’t go as well as she would have liked it to, as what she thought was a bridge had in fact turned out to be the end of a boardwalk, meaning, it only went out into the ocean, which was how she found herself in this rather unfortunate situation. about 50 zombies between her and dry land, and no way out other than jumping into the ocean below. she vaguely knew how to swim from that one time Koyomi-onii-chan had started to teach her, but she was too far out, she wouldn’t make it. she’d have to fight her way through, use the powers that she so hated.
her hair changed colors, starting to move on it’s own to lightly wrap around her joints. she’d push her way through in an instant, keep herself from using her powers as much as possible
she slammed her food down with a bang, using the pulse flowing through her body to throw a punch into the zombie in front of her. she could feel her bones shatter as the snakes wrapped around her joints pushed her body past her limits. but she couldn’t let that stop her. she bolted through the hole in the ranks of the zombies moving as fast as she could to get through.
it was only when she’d made it 50 meters past the zombies that she bothered to look back, long enough to run into a passerby, knocking them both to the ground
"sorry!" she cried, pulling herself up, "I didn’t mean to. please forgive Nadeko!"
Accelerator now found himself on his ass. Knocked over by a little girl. It was at times like this he really missed his permanent reflection. In days gone by this girl would have been thoughtlessly bounced away by his reflection. Today, however, she ran in to the monster of frail constitution and put him on his ass.
"Kh..." With this frustrated noise Accelerator pushed himself back to a vertical base with the use of his cane, looking over in annoyance at the girl. It did not escape his notice that this white haired girl had snakes coming from and liberally wrapped around her body.
What set of rules did this place operate by, Accelerator wondered.
Before he could ask anything of the girl a more immediate concern came out from the darkness. A shambling, rotted mass that was at least humanoid in shape but appeared to have lost anything else that could call it human. A true monster. And it wasn't alone, others appeared with it. Many more were clustered behind it.
"What kind of B-Movie crap is this?" Accelerator had seen and caused worse. He wasn't shocked, he didn't have to deny what he was seeing, this was simply another circumstance of the shitty situation he found himself in.
He forcefully brushed aside the girl to stand in front of her.
"Oi. Don't do anything stupid. I won't even need a minute." A stern warning. He then reached up to the collar on his neck and flipped the switch. A small whine came from the device. Accelerator stretched out his free hand in front of him.
This situation happened to be ideal for him. With his hand "touching" the air it was his to manipulate. Taking the wind in the area and bending it to his will, a mini-tornado simply appeared in front of him. And just like that, it roared forward and in to the horde. As to not completely destroy the boardwalk itself Accelerator was manipulating the small sized tempest not to exert its force beneath it. To anyone happening to watch this spectacle it would look like a tornado shaped bowling ball gliding over the boardwalk to knock over the undead pins.
Not needing to rip the bodies apart the aim was to blow them away in to the surrounding waters and beyond. With this achieved, he flipped the switch back to "Normal" and that was that.
"Now," he turned back to the girl like nothing had happened. "As much as I hate asking brats to talk." He lied to begin their interaction, he found himself already missing a certain brat talking to him about nothing. "Can you tell me anything about what's going on here?"
