Sure this place had that Batman guy who mysteriously kept things at bay but they also had a visitor....aside from the zombies. ...or those freaky things that looked like mole rats. That's right, it was the gamer with a large mecha ALMOST the size of his hunger! For now, the heavy weight pilot had the pretty large mecha parked in front of the gas station store called "Bob's Mart" while he on the other hand was inside of the food containing place. Megas, a large, mostly blue mecha would be fine on its own...even though there were zombies around and about. Besides, it had an alarm on it and would alert him of anything trying to bump into it or something crazy like that. What was he doing in Gotham anyway?
Well originally he was here just to check out a gaming convention, but then it got ruined by the undead and some things he thought of as `cool...buuuut freaky`. At least there were still some areas here and there that were zombie free but also had one of the most important things life had to offer: FOOD! This place just so happened to have a Mega Slush machine, it NEARLY got overrun by some undead and...things that looked KINDA like zombies but not quite. The overweight blond with a spiky hairstyle saved it though. One would think that task was a piece of cake for something like Megas, right? Well it wasn't, some of those things just wouldn't die, like the solar power Regis mach whatever thing! Kinda like that, except when they were finally squished, shot, mangled, and smacked around enough THEN they finally stayed down.
Walking on over to the cashier with his sneakers squeaking a bit on the freshly cleaned tile floor, he pat his stomach which let out a rumbling growl before flopping forward on the counter closing his eyes a bit. "Man...whoever knew fighting zombies with Megas would be so hard! ....Then again I AM starving....." groaning out those words across his lips, apparently his definition of starving was not eating something for a whole hour. If Kiva or Jamie were around, they'd probably point that out but they weren't so he had a flash back to his last meal which was a corn dog while he used Megas to hold a naked mole rat thing with one hand and then punch its face...type..thing repeatedly with the other. Stop for a corn dog break, then continue punching it in the face since it decided to squirm and twitch. The flashback ended there as he let out a heavy sigh STILL flopped onto the counter before opening his eyes a bit. Obviously, Megas did all the work, he just pushed buttons and turned the steering wheel with occasional poses here and there...that's probably something Kiva would of pointed out to retort against his fatigued state at this very moment.
Now he found himself staring at the clerk who looked like he might be a leprechaun before quirking a brow, "And you know those naked mole rat things with the big claws and freaky tongues attacking me earlier? You'd THINK they're pretty easy to beat up with a giant robot, right? But noooo they're really REALLY hard to beat....! Those zombie killing games make it seem so easy..." At that point, he had a little flashback where he and Jamie were sitting there on the couch and it wasn't long before they gave each other a rock on sign with their hands and grinned. "Trevor Blueberg ROCKS! Did you see how he made that zombie's head explode? It was AWESOME!" "Yeah, dude...but Coop, did you see how that Vicky Heartland chick kicked that zombie across the face? That was HOT!" The flashback came to an end at that point before he continued speaking, "...you know....I feel like around now, Kiva would probably say something snarky about how MEGAS does all the work...but who PILOTS Megas? ...I do...! It's tough work when you're fighting things that don't wanna give up!"
With a little frustration in his worn out tone, he actually missed Kiva's complaining and Jamie's awesome best budness. What he missed the most is how he and Jamie would poke fun at Kiva's kinda naive future space chick mannerisms. He could only hope they were ok, wherever they were. Same with Goat...but Goat was the junk yard guy of Jersey! Plus he did have that zombie survival guide....yeah he'd be fine! With the clerk staring at him, unsure of what to say, that's when he knew what would help! "I got it, sonny! How 'bout ye pick out whatever ye want arrround the store?"
Coop couldn't help but look a little surprised at how...IRISH this guy sounded! About to say something, he only got to open his mouth considering the height challenged clerk decided to add in a blunt tone "...ye call me a lepreechaun and yer not gettin' a thing!" Wow, that guy had a serious face to match his tone before narrowing his eyes and the fat mecha pilot leaning on the counter. The blond couldn't help but grin and point to him before saying a single word: "Deal!" With a newly found upbeat attitude too! Quickly, he bolted around grabbing whatever he could get his mitts on and dropped it on a table in the place. For some reason, they had one of those dine-in areas.
Anyway! Piling food up on the table, he was about to put a twinkie on the top buuuut..."...naaah, I think that'd be too much." Putting the twinkie back, he then went over to the Mega Slush machine with a big, drool filled grin. This....was going to be AMAZING! A Mega Slush for all his hard work, the reason why he worked so hard to make this place safe! Who needed the holy grail or fountain of youth?! This was better than the both of those combine!

Zeus found this area rather displaced compared to the other areas he patrolled. Whereas he saw cannibalistic zombies, the innocent screaming bloody murder, and the occasional Hunter attempting to decapitate him, this city had no such thing, or very few of these hazards. It was lacking luster, if it possessed any at all, as if the denizens abandoned hope. Were they dead? No one so far had been seen on the streets. Whether or not any of them remained was not Mercer's intention for traveling into Gotham City. Rather, it was the odd sighting of a gigantic mechanized machine walking casually on the streets. If this city was a safe zone - for now - why was a vigilante on patrol? Although Mercer did not know if a vigilante operated the mecha, his curiosity was certainly peaked.
Unlike majority of situations, where he quickly picked up with his target, Zeus walked casually as well on the streets after the suit. Besides, those other times happened to be smaller targets; it was quite difficult to miss such a noticeable spectacle. He turned a corner, arriving on the block where the mecha-suit now stood idly by a building. Activating his thermal vision, two civilians were located in the building, one abnormally small and the other husky. No trace of a virus in sight as he switched to the infected vision, though he did not doubt a zombie would pop out within the element of surprise.
Switching back to his normal vision, Zeus stood at the foot of the towering machine. His hood masking his upper face and hair, it did not stop him from sizing the mecha up. It was an impressive sight. Zeus was not a man of machines, but he had worked around many of them. Nonetheless, anyone could see that whoever the pilot was devoted lots of time and cash into building. Was it for the widespread infection or something else? Mercer's curiosity lead him to scaling one side of the suit's leg, easily clinging and climbing upwards to the top to further inspect. But, his attention was grabbed by a rather annoying noise emanating from the machine. An alarm? [ooc; Not sure if I should have controlled the alarm, but it seemed necessary to progress. I can take it out if it poses a problem.]

On the radio within the store, a song that sounded so very much like a heavenly chorus began to play as he reached out for the little button. All he had to do was push the button! Everything was so wonderful that it even started to feel like slow motion! Wearing one of the biggest grins ever, this...this was it....he was going to get his Mega Slush! Only a centimeter away....Megas' ridiculously loud alarm system went absolutely berserk which made his grin turn into a big ol' frown causing him to accidentally crush the three chamber cup out of reflex. Staring down at the cup, he felt a part of his heart break like a piece of some grandma's china and blurted out, "STUPID ZOMBIES!" Being a bit irritated with all of this, he wanted at least a moment to enjoy his Mega Slush!
That's it, that's all! But noooooo fate had other plans in store and he let out a grunt before rushing by the table to snatch up a plastic wrapped muffin then started ripping it open as he kicked open the door. The mecha pilot needed SOMETHING in his stomach, so while running with some odd skill to shove the delicious pastry into his mouth, when he saw that it was just some guy in a hoodie...it was just something...he didn't expect. Climbing...up...Megas....just....wow....he stood there looking up for a moment before letting out a "Huh?" with his cheeks puffed with muffin goodness before remembering to chew. Dropping the wrapper and shoving his hands into his pockets trying to find the keys, it took a bit of rummaging and coin clanging before pulling out what was going to silence the wondrous machine from the future he plucked out of a junk pile. Aiming the car alarm button thing up causing the green rabbit's foot to clack into the other keys he kept on there. Smacking his thumb down on it initiating a cliche `beep eepkay shutting up now` sound followed by a couple of blinking lights. Shoving the keys back in his pocket, he couldn't help wonder why was someone trying to climb his giant robot.
Really that was just plain ol' out of the ordinary in comparison to things running and trudging around wanting brains and flesh! Finishing up his quick little snack, he stared up at the guy and just had to ask, "Hey you, what're you doing climbing my robot?" Just sounding a bit lost and confused, he stared up wondering what was going on with that. That guy looked way too clean to be a hobo and not enough flesh wounds to be a zombie. Then again...he wasn't sure if zombies could climb...that weren't pink and brain-eyed....or...something...they looked like mutated naked mole rats to him. Of course, the guy who really reminded him of a leprechaun was still inside and getting a shotgun ready just in case...but Coop didn't know that! ...and yes, yes he was a little too confused at this time to be upset over someone climbing Megas like a jungle gym.
((It's all good! C: Thanks for expressing your concern anyway though >u< !))

Zeus gritted his teeth as the alarm blared suddenly in his ears. The sheer size of the suit created a noticeable ring throughout the neighborhood. If any zombies were around, surely they'd pounce at once to the spot. The only 'Infected' individual bothered by the sound, though, was Zeus and he was prepared to mangle the mecha's alarm system, rattling his eardrums intensely. However, the thought ceased when a simple beep declared that the pilot had arrived. Zeus released his grasp from the metallic leg when he heard a question directed at his peculiar action, landing securely to the ground.
A minor shake of the ground begun when Mercer touched the ground, though it ceased as soon as it started. His blue eyes met with the overweight male, seemingly the fine operator behind this gargantuan suit. Zeus had expected someone of a different stature, but it did not cross his mind for even a second longer. Mercer stood erect, the hood casting a silhouette over a partial amount of his face. "Where did you acquire this mechanized suit?" Zeus asked, curious about how the guy stumbled upon such an advanced piece of weaponry. But he was more so interested in why he possessed this robotic creation. Was he patrolling the city or was there another reason behind the combination of human and machine?

Wow, this guy must of climbed stuff kinda often with the way he managed to land like a pro. Lightly scratching the back of his head before quirking a brow, he definitely hadn't heard of this guy before but maybe...just maybe he was some kinda hero too! As cool as that would be, he wasn't completely sure, but then again maybe he could be trying to take his ride which wouldn't be cool at all. Wait a second...the ground shook...but then it stopped?! Weird, maybe there was an earthquake or something? Oh well, he didn't dwell on it for very long since it seemed like the hoodie man was looking in his direction and standing upright like something important was going to happen...or...he had something on his face. Did one of those muffin crumbs flop onto his shirt?
Moving his hand over to his mouth, the giant robot's pilot brought a hand to his mouth and began dusting it off juuuust in case. Oh yup, there were a few stray crumbs to deal with! Not like it was a major concern to him, it was just a little awkward being stared at when he wasn't winning an eating contest, video game, or whooping some bad guy butt. Wait a second, it wasn't about the muffin crumbs after all! It seemed like this guy wanted to know where he got Megas. That was easy, "You mean Megas? I got him in a junk pile back in Jersey for two bucks..."
Answering his question casually as though it was perfectly normal to find giant robots in piles of junk or that giant robots were as common as bunnies. Which they kinda were for him considering the sort of trouble that Jersey attracted after Kiva showed up. Slightly leaning over to the side, he noticed a large wave of undead things in the distance trudging on over. "Hey, uh, hoodie guy! Wanna go for a test drive? If ya do, meet me at the passenger seat, I've got some zombies to smash!" More rushed than panicked, he quickly got behind the leg beneath his amazingly awesome drivers seat and poked a few buttons causing the door to slide on up before rushing on into the elevator.
The blond didn't have all the time in the world to spare, so as soon as he got delivered up to his seat, he put the keys into the ignition and revved that bad boy Megas up. Whether or not his hooded acquaintance was in the passenger seat, Coop glared down at the undead ahead from the vehicle cockpit before speaking with a little annoyance, "You guys RUINED a good convention, tried to destroy the last Mega Slush machine in the area, won't stay down...AND NOW YOU GUYS ARE STOPPING ME FROM HAVING A MEGA SLUSH!" Gritting his teeth for a moment...he needed a moment to look for..."...where's first gear again...?!" Yeah he was definitely confused about that one. But while he was looking his eyes skimmed on by a few buttons like `Destruction, More Destruction, THAT'S A LOT OF DESTRUCTION` and an under construction button that said `Save the World`. ....he really had to get around to installing that button....

Maria DeLuca was running down an unknowen street in Gotham like a bat out of hell. Zombies were chasing her down the empty street. She was staring stright ahead and running straight for a big machine that towered over the buildings. As far as she could tell that machine meant one of two things. Humans were in control of the contraption and she would be safe: or zombies were in control and nothing was safe. Since it wasn't taking out buildings left and right Maria was pretty sure it was the former.
Maria ran wishing that Michael and the others were with her. Unfortunatly they had been seperated about two weeks before.She shook the memories of being seperated from her head when she felt her arms crackle with electricity. Sure enough when she looked down for a brief second she saw green flicker over her skin. Maria was growing tired and only held a little relife that the machine was growing closer.
The emotions that Maria had held tightly in control went wild at the touch of somthing on her sleeve. Maria let out a scream of terror. What ever had touched her sleve was knocked away when a bright green light surounded her. Dear lord where was her Space Boy the former leader of the army of Antar? Sitting on his butt doing nothing like normal. The thoughts flew through her head barely aknowledged.
Maria swung to the left a little a plan forming in her head. Well it was either a plan or total suicide. WIth a sharp turn to the left she ran to the nearest fire escape and held her hand up. Down she thought to her self focusing on the ladder. The ladder didn't move so she tried again. Once more nothing and her heart fell she was going to die in an alley all alone and the others would never know what happend to her. Maria did the only thing left she turned to face the zombies and streached out her hand palm facing the mindless creatures. If she was lucky maybe she could hold out long enough for help to come. She knew the large machine may be her only hope.
