[spoiler]Oops, sorry for the delay. Been caught up this last week [/spoiler]
Zora sighed to herself, sheathing her blade as a large railgun formed in her hands. She took aim at the beast, charged the gun and shot directly for its chest

[spoiler]It's All Good[/spoiler] The giant fell but continued to breath as it lied down with an angered look on its face. "All that and its still alive. I almost want to keep it. Almost" He then turned his attention to the spear. "Well there's one half"
-
"One half? You're telling me we need to go and find another half?" Zora asked, sounding almost bored

Edited by ALIAS-F4LS: 6/11/2017 7:21:28 PM"It would be amusing bashing the Lord of darkness with a metal rod but, I think I already sent someone after the other half a little earlier. Let me ask you. If you take the first five letters of Ted A. Hamilton and rearrange them, what do you get?" A grin formed on Geralds lips, as he revealed the scam he played on the so called priest.
-
"Ted A. H... Tedah. Hedat? Death... Death..." Zora laughed slightly, a grin forming on her lips as well
-
"If I had to guess the fool is trying to get his hands on it right now and haven't thought we would just double back and follow his trail." Gerald picked up the shaft and seemed to measure the weight of it in his hand before storing it in a long dead time. "So, take the shortcut with the zombies in it or are you a fan of imps?"
-
"Let's kill us some zombies... We should get there as quick as we can." Zora said, looking around the room
-
"Hmm, shambling corpses it is." He opened a trap door behind the alter and jumped down into what seemed to be a large wine cellar. A few undead began shuffling over hopelessly as they were casually chopped down one at a time by Gerald's blade.
-
Zora had followed behind him, slashing her way through the undead that were around them
-
A set of stairs stood before them leading out to a door. Gerald cracked open the door and to their luck "Ted" was standing in front of a coffin with the last half in his hand. He began approaching the old casket. "[u]It's Almost time to wake up old friend. Now I know this isn't your traditional body to inhabit but... this will do.[/u]"
-
"Hello?" Zora said, calling out to "Ted" as she moved forward
-
He looked over startled and quickly tucked his half of the spear under his clothing before looking over. "[u]Huh? Oh, you should be here girl. This place isn't meant for others to intrude on[/u]" He didn't seem to realize his cover was blown and continued to pretend to be a priest.
-
"I must speak to you, priest. I have sinnned. Been a very naughty girl. I need your help at redemption."
-
He put his hand on her shoulder and looked at her. His had was unaturaly cold and his breath smelled of decay. "[u]In a moment dear, first I have business to take care of[/u]"
-
"Oh yes, I am sure. Such as collecting a staff that may kill whoever resides in the castle."
-
"[u]hmm, well something like-[/u]" The edge of a scythe suddenly protruded from his other sleeve as he whiped his arm around to take a swipe at zora. Within moments the face of a gental old man seemed to be replaced with a skeletal figure eyeing her as he attacked.
-
She dropped downwards in a crouching position, the scythe flying over her head, and she sent a kick at the priest's leg
-
The clothing became replaced with robes as Death began floating in the air, but without much warning someone was sitting on the coffin watching them both. Death himself stopped, startled to see who sat before them. https://youtu.be/lLP6b6mOolw "[i]Why is it always fighting? Do you know why I hate humanity? A wolf or any other form of animal will challenge another directly. Humans, they will send others in their stead, even ones own son to his death in an attempt to end me...[/i]" "Gabriel Belmot I presume or do you still go by Dracula, the dragon" Dracula glared at Gerald's remark, clearly agitated at the mention of his old name.
-
"Hey, it's not just humanity. Every race out there has sent someone in their stead to fight." "The Asari, Quarians, Turians, Twi'leks, hell even the Damn AI. Races..."
-
"[i]I could care less about the others you named! Humanity is who failed to protect my wife, tricked me into killing my own son, and b_st_rdized my very existence![/i]" It was clear from the mix of rage and sorrow in his eyes he only truly felt pure, unrefined hatred for mankind. If there was even a hint of joy in his heart it was the remains of a ever smoldering joy at the thought of absolute destruction of an entire species. "Your spouting exposition at the wrong crowd you know" Gerald touted in a clearly smart_ssed manner.
-
"Yeah, are we supposed to care about your family? This gonna be some kind of thing where we beat you, and give you mercy cause of your sob story? Nah." Zora stopped, slamming the tip of her blade into the ground. "Your time is up." The man, or Skeleton, or whatever he was, found himself suddenly rotting. His bones became a sickening green, and cracks ran along his body The cracks connected between each other, and the bones began falling away, turning to dust as the figure disappeared. His robes clattered to the ground, with the spear wrapped up inside of them and Zora fell to her knees, exhausted [spoiler]If you don't get it, Zora literally took every moment he had left and took it from him, all the way up to the point where a Skelton turns to dust due to decay and such [/spoiler]
-
"[i]hmph[/i]" The Lord of darkness stood up as a blood red whip formed in his hand. He lashed out as Gerald caught the whip on his sword and brought the shaft of the spear back in time next to the pile of dust. He took a shot at Dracula's head but the wounds seemed to heal almost instantly. "Please, it's hardly fair if you just heal from everything I hit you with." He pulled a chalice out of the air and splashed water on the monsters face which caused him to flinch. It was soon he realized it was only a trick. Gerald was toying with him only pretending to have holy water.
-
"GREAT TRICK!" Zora jumped to her feet, and actually tackled into Dracula taking both to the ground
-
The vampire lords arms burst into flames as he tried to break loose yet as he tried, Gerald stood there, the spear reassembled hovering over his head. "Ladies first?" He said before pausing time and letting the spear float overhead. "Sorry, I just felt like he would make us listen to another one of his dreadful tails before we killed him"
-
"Oh." Zara got to feet awkwardly and walked towards Gerald, standing besides him "You can go ahead and do it."
-
"Hmm..." He started positioning it over his heart then quickly put it over his mouth. "Just in case" He joked before resuming time. The spear dropped and left him twitching before finally becoming still. "I get that his family died but what a drama queen." Gerald looked inside the coffin for any trinkets and saw a sword with frost coating it and a pair of burning gauntlets.
