Zombiepocalypse
The moon was rising over the city of New Orleans, however, it wasn't the only thing rising in the city tonight. Corpses were rising from their resting places and starting to move through the city. Decaying flesh hung from rotting bones as they shambled through the streets. At first the tourists thought it was a joke or some sort of production, but when the zombies started grabbing tourists and started biting they knew otherwise.

Elsewhere restless spirits moved around and in their anger and anguish stirring up objects and moving them around. Some discarded trashed hit tourists and sent them running. The spirits were encouraged by this and became more and more violent.

The source of this unrest moved through the streets behind Baron Samedi in the form of a cult. He controlled the zombies and the spirits and they had summoned him. The leader of the cult was quite pleased at the chaos that was now present in the streets of New Orleans.

	Harmony got out of bed and grabbed her robe. "Is anyone else awake?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nick... isn't entirely himself anymore. The others can hear the grinding of the garage opening, and the demon cycle revving as Nicholas heads into the streets. Time to hunt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina reached the front door and threw it open, knives already in hands. She blinked a few times. Zombies. In New Orleans. Somehow this was so fitting. She decided to avoid the direct confrontation to start. She opened a portal beneath a small group of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo swung his legs over the side of the bed, his tunic and skirt slung over a chair. "It must be grave trouble indeed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta woke up at the sound of the motorcycle. She heard screaming from outside and opened her window. Zombies. Terrific. Lyta got dressed quickly before flying out the window. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The penance stare may not work on these things, but it doesn't have to, hellfire does the job just fine. The Rider sets zombies alight as he goes, or drags them down with a wickedly spiked chain in a grisly spectacle.

Really, these things barely register, he's just trying to get them out of his way. The real evil is something beyond, the person or people calling them.

	The ones on fire kept walking until the flames destroyed enough of them to stop them where they stood. A few fell through Irina's portal, but the rest kept walking and attacking those who got too close. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina had enough time to open another portal before some would reach her. She opened it under their feet and held it open as long as she could. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Rider plunges forward, his chain sweeping the way. Those on fire reach him, drag at him and the bike, slowing his progress even as they burn. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo nodded. "Our thanks, Corey. We will not be long in joining the fray." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2011-05-18 12:08 am UTC (link)
	And Corey heads outside to find out where the problem is, where any civilians are, and put some nice earthworks up between the two. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta thanked her lucky stars that her mom had sent her a pair of katanas. Lyta flew in, slicing at any zombies, making sure not to get within their reach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo dressed quickly, heading out with Harmony into the chaos. "By the beard of Zeus! What Hades spawned madness is this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The zombies continued their march through the streets not caring that some of their numbers were being mowed down by the chain of the Ghost Rider and some where falling into portals created by Irina. Nor did they notice others being sliced through by katanas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina needed a way to take out more zombies than just a few at a time. She quickly looked around to see if there was something she could use. There. She opened a portal under a large delivery truck and opened the other end of the portal just over the heads of the zombies. Quite a few were smooched under it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The flames rise up around the bike as the hordes close in. Nick is grabbed, bitten and almost swarmed, fighting his way free with supernatural strength each time, continuing to try and make progress towards the source of real evil, not the zombies, but those who called them.

	After protecting a few civilians, Corey looked over at Nick. Suddenly, the Earth over there started arching, making a thin little bridge for the rider as the zombies started to fall down teh sides of the arch. It stretched to extend further in the direction the Rider was heading.. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Argo, meanwhile, did not truly bother with much strategy. Or rather, he was adopting his favorite strategy: wade in and hit things until there's nothing left to hit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Harmony realized that her uses of sound weren't going to do much against the walking dead so she turned her focus on protecting people, gathering up the sounds of things to build barriers that she hoped would at the least delay the zombies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irian opened a portal under another truck and had it come out above a group of zombies. Three reached her and she pulled out two knives and attacked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's an unearthly laugh as Corey's bridge clears Nick from the reach of the zombies. Then the Rider leaves the Defenders to their battles and their fates, and follows his demonic senses towards the cultists who caused this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Does he have to be so creepy about it?" Corey asks shivering as he opens a pit underneath some of the zombies. "Seeing a lot of signs Grandfather Lucius used to talk about for distressed spirits, everyone," he announces. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The zombie's numbers were thinning out. Behind them the cultists followed along with Baron Samedi. The guy with the flaming head concerned them. They stopped walking and commanded zombies to get between them and the Rider. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
