Machines Vs Zombies (DEADLOCK)

[faiz]

Takumi grunted as he punched a zombie hard sending it’s head flying as it’s body flopped to the ground while a roundhouse kick to the one behind him made quick work of it as it’s upper half slid to the bottom thanks to it’s rotting carcass. Takumi had no idea what the hell was going on but he was sure on one thing, this whole mess was just an annoyance…he decided to have a small visit to Racoon City since he heard that it was quite good and very popular with the tourist. He had to wonder if the guy who said this had been in his right mind because right now this was not looking like a tourist destination but instead something out of a horror movie as he dodged a zombie’s feeble attempt to attack him as he simply kneed it in the face, good thing he had already transformed into his Kamen Rider form.

This was starting to get out of control, he had seen people being eaten by these zombies and he sure hoped that there wasn’t anyone to blame here or he would just go up and destroy them for the sheer stupidity unless they were intent on destroying the world in which case he’ll have to actually go and kick their asses, ”And I thought Smart Brain was bad” he muttered to himself. After he had finished the zombies surrounding him he thought that it might be best to evacuate some people who were stuck here, according to his judgement most would have already evacuated when the first batch of zombies started arriving but there could have been people who didn’t know until it was too late. Sighing to himself as he rode Auto Javin he reved it up and began a general patrol of the area where he was, he didn’t know if he should go further up the city until he was sure that there were survivors there so for now he would just ride until he met someone who had an understanding of the situation.

Deadlock was already well-and-truly entrenched in Raccoon, and she liked it that way. In the forest, she saw a clear path. She was there for a variety of reasons - to help people still trapped there, to see zombies put down like the soulless husks they were, to stick a needle into the eye of Umbrella, to face her personal demons, but regardless of the reason, the zombies kept coming, and she stood her ground.

The Inevitable had to hold out for only three more hours until the rescue chopper showed, but she'd been standing there for three already, and already, her muscles were aching, she was out of missiles, and down to the last couple-hundred nails. And she was getting angry. How the fuck many could there be out here? How had these people - two families and some stragglers - managed so far, anyhow? She'd carefully inspected each and every goddamn one - and thankfully, they'd had the sense to do the dirty bit already, and none of them had been bitten and lived. That made things simple.

Hold the fucking line. So she was.

The Bastion of Gotham, a twelve foot tall behemoth of black metal, shrouded in a halo of blue light from its powered plating, stood in a pretty dense patch of corpses, many of them trampled flat by its multi-ton footfalls or powdered by its fists and weapons. She'd earned a moment's welcome respite, but already something was stirring the horde up out there - something that roared like... a motorcycle? The fuck?

She'd tapped into the security monitors the survivors had set up nearly within the first five minutes of this shit - when she couldn't predict what angle they came from, she was SOL, so when she saw the Kamen Rider blitz past, she had to cycle through cameras again a couple times to get a bead on him. Sure as anything, there was a man in.. armor... on a superbike... thing. And boy wasn't he just causing a stir!

Deadlock wasn't sure if he knew it... but he was trucking right into a patch of hell. There were parts of the city more advanced in T-Cell mutations, stuff she hated fighting, stuff that put her to the test. Against those kinds of numbers, in a suit like that, in The Gauntlet? It was suicide! And here she was, watching a horde chase him into hell.

Fuck that.

The least she could do was pull their aggro off him. She grinned... this was the shit she lived for. Eddie flicked a few buttons on the inner edge of the control surfaces, and connected herself to the PA system. There was a moment's SCREECH as the audio system adjusted to her interference.

"Hey! You on the crotch-rocket! Get the hell over here or you'll get fucking cheezed by the shit uptown!" followed swiftly by a connection to a number from her personal musical selection. The zombies went nuts.



Deadlock's wrists shot to her side, and she reloaded her nails. She hurriedly fished through her cockpit, by now riddled with a few jerky wrappers until she found a couple canisters - A Sockpixie (big chunk of metal for a warhead) and a Hellpixie (Full of weaponized habanero powder)? It would have to do. She loaded them into the slots above her head, slotted them into place with the self-contained bolt-action, gripped her controls again, and braced - the horde was coming now. Hundreds of them at once - they were attracted to noise more than anything... so as they were coming, she diverted the music to her personal speakers, silencing the shelter's rig. This was between her... and a horde of pissed off zombies.

Takumi had been riding around the block for several minutes when he first heard the words as he looked around to find the source of the sound but it seemed that whoever it was had hijacked the local PA system. That really made things difficult to find the guy even if she, at least Takumi thought it sounded like a girl, rudely told him to come ‘here’ wherever that was as he sighed…at least it meant that there was a survivor here though how long she’ll survive after that stunt was up in the air, ”Baka” Takumi muttered as he decided to follow the sound of the zombie horde going to one direction. There was no way that she wouldn’t have a horde of zombies out for her now as he rode around accelerating a bit faster as he didn’t want the zombies to get her before he did…after all he felt like she needed some serious anger management classes.

He soon found the horde of zombies as they began to converge on a single bunker, if this wasn’t the place then he didn’t where else to look as he reved up his bike smashing through several zombies as he screeched to a halt as he got off his bike and took out his Faiz Phone before setting it on gun mode, ”Oi, you in there? You were quite rude before” Takumi remarked as he waited for the zombies to come closer before firing as he only had six shots before he had to reload.

In the cameras, she saw he was taking her advice and coming towards her. She nodded grimly as the wall of the walking dead, from every direction, came in a rush of blood, wrath, and bile, the sound of gruesome onrushing death filling the air at an appreciable volume. They closed in a ring around her, restricted in their mosh pit from hell only by each other, rushing in for oncoming death.

The first four or five were caught up and flung by a sweep from a fist, crushing their ribs and flinging them like ragdolls, tossing them into buildings across the street with wet thuds, and the Inevitable brought her hand down, giving a nail to a cluster of several more, powering through one and pinning two others together head to chest, leaving them in a gurgling, screaming heap of wrath.

"Come on!" she howled like a harpy, the twelve foot tall mech suit flaring with blue light as she surged to the engines. Blue light flared from her broad back as her icarus thrusters went apeshit, launching Deadlock into the crowd which had no more chance of stopping the Inevitable's approach than sand has of stopping a tidal wave. Zombies went flying as she cannoned into them, nailguns roaring, but there were hundreds and they filled the gaps she left, grabbing, pounding, screaming, pulling. It was like a cloud of gnats was trying to kill her, but she was tired, and the mob cared nothing for its own safety.

While they couldn't stop her from moving, they could certainly barrel into her legs and trip her up - this they did, sending Deadlock to the ground and piling onto her back, pounding and pulling on anything they could grab at. This surprised Eddie, safe inside, as she watched her armor-devoted reactor take hits - a thousand small hits were like a medium-large one, and it persisted - she couldnt take this forever!

Breathing calmly, she took a moment's respite, shaking, exhausted to her core, but she soon stood, dislodging hordes of the things to the ground. She flicked her controls a bit, toggling a couple switches before tensing every muscle in her body. The Icarus drives reacted instantly, and released a pulse of blue light, a halo of energy that sent every last one that had piled onto her into the crowd, leaving her armor steaming. She had a second now.

She saw the man in the powered armor and grinned

"Welcome to the party, jack! Glad you could join us!" she called out to him over her suit's loudspeakers. He made a comment about rudeness, and she snorted a laugh

"Least of our worries, jack! Get your ass over here and gimme some backup wouldja?" she grabbed a zombie that thought her arm might be tasty, and tossed him bodily over her shoulder like a used hankie. The horde was recovering now

The zombies just kept on coming as Takumi punched and kicked his way through them, he tried to reserve his ammunition for his Faiz Phone unless it was really necessary, he didn’t’ want to waste it on something like this. He really should transform to a much more sturdy and powerful form but if there was going to be a big zombie coming up soon then he wanted to reserve his energy so he wasn’t tired when that event come up and besides…his fists were more then enough to deal with this kind of thing anyways.

Soon the female armoured warrior also came up, he took a good look at her and wondered if she was a Kamen Rider as well, he had never seen that design before but that didn’t mean that she couldn’t be a Rider as well…there were many Riders out there not just the ones that Smart Brain develop but that was a question for later. She then ‘welcomed’ him to the party as he ignored her and continued to fight on, she considers this a party? Takumi would have considered this whole thing a chaotic mess with no end in sight as he fired three shots for three zombies as they went down before punching another’s head clean off, ”You have any idea what’s causing this? Some stupid company decide to research something?” Takumi asked as he went straight for the point.

”Tch…don’t I know” Takumi said as the horde began to recover from the failed assault, at this point in time they were going to get overrun no matter what they do as there was only so much stamina both of them had before getting tired. Perhaps the woman had a plan? Either that or she needed more men to help protect her as he flying kicked a zombie and landed next to the Deadlock, ”Hey do you have a plan? We can’t keep doing this forever” Takumi said.
