The Secondary Saga

[Yu Kanda]

Klaud was right, this last hallway did indeed lead the group outside. Once her boot set on the soft earth Klaud stopped to catch her breath. Her comrades weren't far behind and decided to follow her example. After fighting for their lives and running through that ancient tomb of traps they deserved a breather. But only three were outside. Krugman and Isaac were still missing ? Klaud turned towards the exit but couldn't see anyone. "You two seen Isaac and Roger ?" Klaud asked directed at the two companions that made it outside with her.

" I was a bit too busy avoiding debris to be paying attention to others" Clayton said as he was catching his breath.

"I saw Isaac turning back for some reason. Don't know why though" The exhausted Pokémon said.

Klaud took a few steps back towards the exit. "Isaac ?! Roger?! Can you hear me ? " She yelled though the echoing hallway into the darkness. For a little while it was quiet. But then Klaud heard coughing "We're here, Roger is hurt. He needs some help." Isaac's voice echoed back as two silhouettes appeared within the smoke. With just his one good arm Isaac was supporting an very badly wounded Krugman. Blood was covering his face as it was hanging down towards the ground. The General rushed over to take some of the weight off of Isaac and escorted them outside. Once outside they sat Roger down against a tree.

"Roger can you hear me ?" Klaud asked the wounded soldier. Unfortunately she only got a moaning sound as response. "This does not look good, this wound needs to be closed before he loses any more blood" She directed Isaac's attention to the wound that was visible on top of Roger's head. Isaac quickly responded with a piece of cloth and applied pressure to the wound.

"Can i help ?" Zyra asked as she joined the three. The creature was pretty wounded herself. Struggling to keep herself standing.

"You can help by sitting down, you need some rest yourself." The general said with a strong voice and a strict gaze towards her Pokémon ally. Zyra did not like hearing it but listened to the wise words nonetheless.

Clayton was up ahead, near the tree line. His eyes and attention were more directed at the forest. There was a dark mist and an ominous feeling not sitting right with him. His senses never let him down. His eyes narrowed as he noticed a bush move slightly. Without making a sound he slowly aimed the mighty rifle towards the bush. With a focused eye set on the bush he slowly approached it. The bush shook again and slowly a body emerged, it was slow and it's flesh seemed to be rotten. Clayton lowered his gun and took a closer look. It was hideous ! The hunter once again took aim, but in the corner of his right eye he spotted something else. Another flesh rotten body emerged from behind a tree, behind the first body two more emerged from the thick mist. The fearless hunter took a step back and stepped on something. He looked down and saw his boot on top of an arm, that was attached to one of these creatures. The undead tried to get closer and take a bite from the hunter's boot but was greeted by a bullet from Clayton's gun.

*BLAM*

The loud noise made the other three turn around And saw Clayton standing closer to the forest. "What happened ?!" Isaac shouted.

"General I think you might want to get up here unless you want your new friends to get eaten" Clayton shouted.

Klaud got up, with one hand on her whip she walked closer to Clayton and she saw it with her own eyes. A small army of slow undead creatures came towards them. She unraveled her whip and took stance next to the hunter. " Isaac, take care of those two. Me and Clayton will hold them off as long as we can"

" And you better hurry" Clayton added quick.

The first undead came out of the tree line and met fierce energy coated whip lashes that ripped off their flesh and limbs together with bullets from the mighty hunter weapon. The battle for survival has once again begun. Only this time, they were outnumbered badly.
