The zombies were much faster than Sephiroth had anticipated. The most he had seen were walking at a snail's pace. He had overestimated what they were actually capable of. The distance they covered almost took him off guard as he raised his sword to block their hands from grabbing him.
His heart was pounding and he pushed back, raising his hand as an explosion of fire burst forth. It engulfed the bodies and spread from one to other rapidly.
"Oops." Sephiroth lowered his hand. He watched the zombies run about until he heard footsteps approaching behind him. He turned and raised his sword to the man's neck. "Who are you?"
@fellabsolve - call them runners
