Chapter 1 - chapter 1

This used to be a luscious world but now the world has gone up in flames and people have put ethics aside in order to survive. We start this tale in a decrepit city with a stench of rotten flesh, on a lifeless cramped street, there's a group of survivors fighting for there lives in this wasteland they used to call home.

Within the survivors there is some well known faces who used to be household names because of their fame and heroic acts but now they're just snacks to the masses. One of these who shines more than the rest is the one man factory Robotica who is commanding his last drone to slaughter the onslaught of lifeless killers.

"If you can fight encircle the weak so they don't become another mindless zombie. If a super being appears then I'll go in and try to take them down" commands Robotica as he shoots a hole through an unusually bulky zombie thats easily recognisable as having minor super strength.

"Remember go for the limbssss before trying to kill" says a serpentine voice from within the hoard of creatures as a limbless zombie flies overhead. As the crippled undead flys over the group Robotica sighs and points in the direction it flew from causing his drone to walk through the beasts whilst decapitating them.

On the over side of the circle we see regular humans fighting using enhanced weapons created by Robotica in hopes to defeat the zombies but they stand no chance as a small lightning like orb is spotted through the mass of undead.

"STAMINATRIX IS HE..." shouts one of the warriors before they disappear and get replaced with an explosion of blood and a humanoid drenched in the crimson of the woman that just died.

"Sssseemsssss like we've got company" says the serpentine voice as a man with a stretching tail in place of legs and fangs the length of a sabertooths emerges from the survivors.

"Are you friend or foe or dead" says Robotica as they reveal themselves as a skinny man draped in futuristic weapons pointing a plasma rifle at the blood covered being.

"Depends if you wanna put that gun down tinker toy" the crimson coated being speaks as they vibrate with rapid speed cleaning off all the blood to reveal a man built with abnormally muscular legs compared to his average body which is launching sparks of lightning.

"You just killed someone zappy the gun stays at your head until you give us a solid answer on why you did it and if you're here to help or die" Robitica speaks in a commanding voice as he grins at the nicknames.

"She was my bitch of an ex and I'll happily help if you can get me quick energy" they reply with a shrug.

"Good enough old friend"

The serpentine being throws him a syringe filled with an unknown liquid before going back to defending the weak.

"Nothing beats your good old zap juice Clanker man" Staminatrix replies before injecting it into his arm and blitzing the rest of the survivors only leaving Robotica and the Serpentine man who is now wrapped around a child.

"Why did i expect this to happen?" Robotica says as he covers his ears whilst the serpentine man does the same for his and the child's.

"Why are you working with that fucking faggot villain?" Staminatrix replies before coughing up blood and falling to his knees.

"You're meant to ssssave livessss not end them Ssssstaminatrix which is why we mixed my venom in the reenergization sssserum I gave you" the serpentine man whispers as Robotica's drone releases an ear deathening screech that causes all the undead to stop in their tracks.

"Who survived?" Robotica asked as he looks around to see three warriors holding broken guns and one missing an arm before turning to the serpentine man who's still holding the child protectively.

"Sssseemssss jusssst ussss ssssix" the serpent says as he puts the child down and slithers through the immobilised zombies.

"He deserved it Titana you heard what he called you and he never dated the girl he speed blitzed" Robotica says as he pats the serpents back.
