But, it's ME! Her good old pal Shadowulf!

Matter of fact, uh, scratch that. Don't tell her it was me. Say it was, um...Necronero, the troll!

 She's good.

Okay, I'm very nearly done. Shouldn't be much longer now.

I know I said that before, but...well, good things take time.

EDIT: I see that 8000th post looming. I shall save it for YOUR post.

 gotcha. Alright, now time to figure out what way I'mma get you beat up--er, I mean, defeat Victor.

There he comes now! And...um...there's a zombie horde with him. Not like ANY old horde. I mean, THOUSANDS. Very likely a hundred thousand. I can't see the end of them just yet. Their masses are ENORMOUS. And...some are SUPER!!!

I suppose me and Phi and Marv and Jester and Rhia, etc. will be taking care of them.

*cruel fate!*

I replicate myself ten times and all ten GIGANTIFY!  A few of the me's stomp across the landscape, a few belly-flop and roll around, and a few do butt-busters to squash our undead arch-nemeses...if I see ANY of them get bitten, they're gettin' a spiked boot to the head by ME  (Well not ME me, the clone on whose shoulder I ride; I make sure to remain normal sized, away from the zombie action, so my true self won't be zombified)

Rhia and Jester take off into the crowd, beating and blasting the hell out of everything they see. I'm not sure WHAT that is, but it looks pointy and blunt and unpleasant, so...yeah, better not get too close to either of them.

Phi lets loose his worst Zerg to do away with the undead scum, and they screech and roar and scream and squeal like they're out for blood. Luckily one of them can forcefield him, I believe. At least it looked like a forcefield. It may have been a force push.

Even Wendy and Stormy have joined in on the fight. Would you believe it? The two just figured out that if they hold hands, their powers are enhanced TENFOLD! Time to make some zombies re-pass away and die...

And right behind them, WHD has mimicked the power to produce seismic waves through the ground (with a secondary adaptation of heightened durability). Needless to say, he and Marv are having a smashing good time.

Spydyr jaunts in from who knows where with some tech from Myself, and is now armed to the teeth with various guns and weapons of his own. 'Port here, jaunt there, jaunt here, 'port there. He's gotten so good, he can even 'port small groups high in the air, and let them fall to their deaths. And now it doesn't tire him out as much!

As for Xero, he is also armed. With his power, he mows through the waves and waves of undead that flock in. Fire here, ice here, water, earth, even a void blast or two.

A pillar of earth hoists him over the crowd, and into the middle of some mean looking grunts. The largest one (ten feet tall, as part of his superpower) glares at Xero...

He doesn't even give him a chance to get his footing, before sending the elemental back through the air with a wicked punch.
Who knew there were zombies who were more hostile than hungry?

Xero pulls out his rapid-fire rifle, puts in a fire bullet, and gets ready to knock that big guy's head off, but, whoopsies, my doppelganger tripped over a pile of corpses laid up by Wendy and Stormy. He dodges out of the way just in time to avoid being amongst the smashed.

And just in time to be caught up into a tornado. Whipped up into the vehement vortex, the powerful twister turns out not to be as bad as he thought, compliments of his Aerokinesis. Now, he's capable of running on the wind, just like Stormy (and Wendy when she holds her sister's hand).

In fact, he meets the two inside and they agree to work together to whip up double the zombies. Running along the spiral wind currents of the tornado works almost like a hamster wheel, snatching up unwary zombies to be fire or water blasted by Xero.

After he's had enough of that, he hops off a high rung of the rogue whirlwind and lands on the shoulder of my gigantic doppelganger.

"Wanna try something really fun?"

"Like what?"

"Look in my clone's pocket. There's a bunch of scrap metal I wanted Myself to forge into some kinda armor. I don't know what the heck I was thinking. But anyways, you can use it to do a meteor blast."

"METEOR BLAST?" The dupe calls out, "OKAY!"

He snatches Xero up, and fortunately Xero extracts the metal out of the shirt pocket and armors himself in it. With all his might, the dupe hurls Xero down to the zombies. Combined with some explosive earth manipulation, a huge ripple undulates through the ground, and there are MANY undead casualties.

"HEY, this is kinda cool!" Xero calls out, and curves the metal into a ball. He then continues tumbling through the crowd like a huge bowling ball, with the baddies as the pins. Spydyr jaunts quickly out of his way, next to me on my dupe's shoulder, to avoid becoming roadkill (or rather, um, battlefield-kill).

In the middle of his very awesome rampage, the elemental hears a loud shout across the crowd, calling his name. The zombies in immediate proximity stop and look around, thinking it to be another human ripe for the eating. Xero seismic-smashes those, and looks over to see who called out to him.

"Who is---OH SNAP."

It's Victor. And beside him, that darkness manipulator whose name eludes the narrator .

The two stand atop the piles and piles of re-dead undead, and for some reason, they look fully sentient. Their faces still look decayed and cracked, and caked with blood and peeling flesh, but nonetheless aware of the situation at hand. He came to either finish, or be finished by, Xero.

Not waiting for a response from the elemental, Victor slides forth on a light bridge to confront him. Xero pushes with one hard jolt, and Victor's bridge is stopped mid stride, throwing Victor through the air. Lucky for him, he casts another to save himself from falling.

"Nice trick, Xero."

Xero smirks in response, and jumps again as the light manipulator's friend fires a bolt of darkness at him. He stops the bolt of darkness midair and, combining it with void, sends it back at the lowly umbrakinetic. As the dark-controller reels in pain, Victor sends a light bridge jetting in Xero's direction. Luckily, he learned this skill WAY back when...he ducked.

Missed Xero, hit the very large zombie from before. That's the end of that.

Victor builds up power for another bridge, and he and Xero look back to see WHD send a rippling shockwave to kill an oncoming waves. Unfortunately, it accidentally tosses Xero, Victor and the umbra sidekick into the air as well.

"Mea Culpa"  WHD apologizes quickly, watching the three sail sixty feet, and hurries back into the fray.

Victor sends a light bridge toward WHD behind his back. Fortunately, someone above is looking out for him...an intense lightning bolt strikes from the furious atmokinetic's hands to break the light bridge. Wendy and Stormy look very angry at Victor, but quickly realize it's best to keep the zombies around them at bay. Xero can handle himself, they decide in unison.

And that he does.

For every light bridge sent at him, he either avoids it, stops it with light manipulation, ripples it, sends it back or uses it to deflect the umbra's attacks. Finally, Victor just gets fed up. Whipping up all he's got, he shoots up a huge light bridge high into the air (even over one of my dupes' heads) and sends the rest of the bridge down by splitting it up into multiple bridges.

As they extend down to the ground on their own (toward Xero), Victor produces a bridge about the size and shape of a sword blade without a hilt, and lunges down toward Xero, skidding down one of the mega-bridge's deviations. He is met with a rocky spire from the ground which knocks him back into the umbrakinetic. Xero then inhales deeply and blasts out a stream of intensely hot fire, which he forms into a semicircle.

I comes stompin' through to get at some zombies on the other side of the battlefield, and so he has to either move a bit closer to the flames or be crushed. Now, with the advantage, Xero forms the fire into a forcefield, and uses it as a battle turret, tossing out fireballs with air-pressure-enhanced power. Victor sends light bridges at the forcefield, and all it manages to do is change the fire different colors!

Victor curses. He turns around, and while his guard is down, Xero jumps out of the forcefield (leaving it up, of course) and calls the metal pieces to him that he used for the meteor blast. They form armor around him again, and are heated up by the fire he produces under the armor.

A red-hot metal controlling light-bridge dodging dynamo, Xero swipes at the undead creep and lands a few in the gut. Across the face. Even a couple below the belt (that's LOW, Xero ). Finally, as the zombie recoils, he gets grabbed up by Xero and held close for maximum effect. This promises to end ugly.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Victor tries to get some distance between he and the elementalist, but Xero won't let him free. His flesh is further flayed from his skin, and his blood boils on the surface of Xero's armor, making him nauseous, but after he's nearly burned the undead freak to a crisp (and sees that only about fifty zombies remain), he fights the urge to gag and jams one of his hellfire grenades into the gaping mouth of the screaming zombie.

With one final angry motion, he repulses the red-hot, gore-covered metal (and Victor along with it) and sends it all flying toward a throng of approaching undead. Upon impact...

KABOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!

Xero puts his shades on to watch the blast. "DAAAAAAANG..."

My dupe stumbles backward and accidentally falls back on twelve stragglers. Accidentally, but not regrettably.

Me and spydyr jump down my dupe's shoulder. Rhia and Jester finish tallying up their kill score and congratulate each other, each one playfully assuring the other that THEY were the winner. Stormy and Wendy descended from their stormcloud vantage point. WHD comes up and puts his hands on the twins' shoulders with a tired smile. Marv comes up and his rocky form goes back to normal.Phi rallied together his monsters and Xero walked up to them, greeting them with an exasperated wave.

"Dang, where are Myself, Neo and GD?" Xero calls out.

Spydyr disappears. Upon re-entry, he is accompanied by Myself, GD and Neo.

"Whoops. Sorry, forgot to tell them the fight was goin' on. My B."

(OOC: Yay my 8000th post! And @Bug: How's THAT for a fight scene??? This one's for you, chief. )
