Help Coolpool: 2 (Null, Wilger)
Keep an eye out: 1 (Tirin)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
"Req, I'll help Coolpool," says Easy. "You keep an eye out for more of them."
Requiem nods and picks up the pocketknife Muffin dropped. He scans the area for more threats. Easy runs towards Coolpool and kneels beside him and Muffin.
Coolpool writhed on the ground and made gurgling noises. Fuse had gouged one of Coolpool's eyes out, and took a large bite out of his neck. Blood and bits of green ooze gushed from the wound, covering his body.
"We need to apply pressure to the wound, right?" asked Muffin. She was deathly pale.
Easy stood up and shook his head. "It's over. There's nothing we can do."
"What?" cried Muffin. "We can't just let him die, we have to try something."
Even as she spoke, Coolpool went limp and was quiet.
"There's only one thing we can do," says Requiem, not even looking at them. "We're all thinking it, I'm just saying it. This is some kind of zombie shit."
"That's ridiculous," says Muffin. "You saw the thing we just killed, they're BOTH Lord Fuse. One's just...female for some reason."
"I don't know how to explain why they both look like Fuse," says Requiem. "But they both can't be, and that doesn't change what we've already seen. This has all the symptoms of classic zombie stories. We need to put Coolpool down, kill the brain."
"Req, no!" says Muffin. "We can't just assume what's going on here. If we save Coolpool's brain, we'll be able to bring him back with Fuse's cloning machine. If not, he's dead for good!"
