Time to get retarded.

Writing...

You grab the gun with the stolen arm. It quivers- but stays under your control- perhaps frightened by the sheer determination filling your tiny frame, as you step forwards and shoot one of the zombies in the head.
“Sarah- That monster… It won´t go away, and if we keep facing the entire horde head on we´ll be too tired to kill it”
“ What do you want to do then?! Asks Sarah, in between ripping off another zombie´s head with her teeth, spraying blood on you- if you weren´t already drenched, you would probably have recoiled.
“Once I run out of ammo… Let´s go in” You say, trying to shoot another of the zombies coming in- your arm twitches, and you hit a different one instead- It´s going to be hard to aim with this arm, but it seems to work better when holding a gun- a leftover from its previous owner, perhaps?
You shoot zombie after zombie, your arm sometimes twitching to correct your aim- the bullets seem to be very effective at disposing of them, piercing through their frail bodies and killing sometimes two, even 3 with a single shot- And they keep piling up on the entrance, making it harder for the next one to enter- but the barred windows are starting to crack.
You need to do something quick.

>Flee higher- while the stairs aren’t as narrow as the kill corridor you made, the flow of zombies through the entrance should be slow enough that they won´t be able to reach you- and you´ll be able to exit afterwards.
>Go into the horde, and take matters directly to the monster.
>Get Lilly to help.
>Reach deeper into yourself?
>Other:Write-in?

C'mon anon, I know you want to do it

>>1174532

Fuck it.

>>1174532
>>Reach deeper into yourself?
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

You breathe deeply, almost instinctively trying to tap into that… sensation you felt when looking upon the beast- that courage in the midst of fear. You feel your arm twitch as you shoot another zombie, and try to concentrate again-

You remember your dream. How you fell for what felt like an eternity- and the white void where everything seemed to flash, faster than your mind could register- except that rune, etched into your very soul.
Inside yourself, you find…
>The strength to push onwards.
>The skill to overcome this challenge.
>The knowledge to control this fight.
>The stamina to last through this.
>???

this was not a write-in option.

Reaching deep into yourself, you find something- a cold and hard, yet fluid sensation- hard to explain with words. Opening your eyes- you didn´t even notice closing them- everything seems… sharper, now. As if you had been wearing dirty glasses before, or had just woken up- You look at Sarah before smashing a zombie that had gotten closer with your crowbar.

The motion feels… smoother, somehow. As if you had practiced- Sarah gives you an odd look, but resumes dispatching zombies,as you shoot another 3 in quick succession- Even your arm seems more nimble now.

“Sarah, let´s go in!” You say, tossing the empty magazine aside and reloading, before kicking one of the zombies in the head, cracking it´s skull- grabbing the crowbar again and finishing it off with another blow, spraying it´s brains on the pile of gore already on the ground.

“ Okay! Let´s do this, Tanis!”
“Lilly, you´ll have to defend this place… I believe in you, okay?”
“O…Okay! I´ll do my best!”
You just hope she´ll be alright.

You climb over the pile of corpses, twice dead- and hopefully never moving again- And slide down to the exit. The beast and you seem to have thinned the swarm considerably- to the point the zombies are dispersing now- Perhaps they have been recalled? You step outside- and the beast´s head snaps in your direction, like something straight out of a horror movie, staring at you with its pitch black eyes-

It rears its head back and roars, shattering some of the windows on the nearby buildings, and cracking the rest- You cover your ears, to no avail. This will be a terrifying fight.
Choose two. One for you and one for Sarah.
>Charge it head on.
>Try to kite it while shooting with your gun.[Tanis Only]
>Climb on top of it to distract it [Sarah Only]
>Stay at a distance, watch its movements.

Okay, seems we´re having Sarah charge it head on while we kite it, then.

Your left arm spasms heavily, throwing off your aim- But you stop yourself from pulling the trigger- It was aiming at Sarah… That would have been very bad. You drop the crowbar and dodge the monster´s charge at you, shooting at it while grabbing the gun with both hands- That way, it´ll be harder for the arm to do it´s own thing and try and shoot your friend.

Sarah charges at the monster from behind, leaping above it and kicking it on one of the joints of its multiple legs- causing it to bend slightly, only for the beast to spin around and try to bite her. You shoot at the beast´s neck, wounding it slightly- and it looks back at you, then at Sarah, as if trying to decide which is more dangerous- Then goes rushing back to you, with Sarah struggling to keep up with it- is it that much faster than her?! You weave around it with speed you didn´t think you had- fighting zombies was easy, but now you feel… strangely in control, even if you´re at risk of dying. Its oddly exhilarating to face an actual threat, a high you hadn´t experienced before- the thrill of the hunt?
The rain starts falling on the concrete ground, dispersing the fog again- all the better for your visibility. The beast sniffs the air, tasting it with it´s twisted, snake-like tounge, before leaping at you once again- Does it track through smell? You´re covered in blood, but the rain is starting to wash it off- Sarah charges at the monster, punching one of its legs with all her strength, causing the beast to stagger, it´s head crashing in front of you as it tries to hit you with it´s tongue, but you dodge to the left and shoot it in the head- The bullet penetrating it´s flesh, but not it´s skull. It manages to stand up again, kicking Sarah away-
“SARAH!”
She spits some blood- probably not hers- and tries to stand up, but falls to her knees- the monster´s legs are powerful, and the distraction allows it to hit you too, albeit you manage to reduce the impact at the last second, it still dislocates your right arm- Shit, you´ve only got the sniper´s arm now.
