Hunted in the City of the Dead

[chatnet] Uriel says, "Okay, so there I was"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Surrounded by darkness"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "and howling"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Ruined buildings crumbled all about us"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Necropolis"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Ezekial had taken me there"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "It was my first visit"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "back when he was still and organic being"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "High above were dark green clouds flashing with lightning and menace"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Before us stood the deadbots that guard the ruined city"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I didn't have the rep to walk by them yet"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "so Zeke walked up to them"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "and quick as a flash his whip struck them like a live wire"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "In moments they sat sputtering impotently as we passed"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the Necro proper"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "The city was gigantic"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Sprawling craters and rubble, and some buildings that remained"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "specters and freaks roaming the streets"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "and somewhere in the distance, the rumbling yowl of a junker"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "There we stood"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I was awestruck"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "He was smug"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Neither of us heard it"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "the sound of something stalking us"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "We wandered a bit further into necro"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I found the zombies to be quite tuff, but the freaks dropped nice gear"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "It really wasn't so bad a place"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "and then the being following us appeared"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Him."
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Zardoz came barrelling out of an old storefront, slamming Zeke into the wall across the streed"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "He didn't flinch, pulling out his whips in a flash"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I drew my Nodachi"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I had no clue who this was, but he was attacking a corpmate"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "We charged the bastard at the same time"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "but he was fast"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "He ducked under Ezekial's whips and vaulted over me as I passed"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Zardoz landed with nary a sound a few meters away"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Ezekial and I were now facing him with street behind us and before us, the buildings to our sides"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "The abomination rushed at us, quick as a flash"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Ezekial dodged, but I took the blow to my chest, flying back and tumbling along the ground"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "As I rose, I saw my sword lying before me, and beyond it the battle between the two raged on"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I ran forward, grabbing my sword as I went"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Ezekial was holding him off, but Zardoz was as fast as he was"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "but in his rage he didn't hear me coming up behind him"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I plunged my Nodachi into Zardoz's back"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "He turned in a rage, smashing me across the face with the back of his hand"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I fell to the ground, and Zeke took the chance to lacerate the beast's back with his whip"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Zardoz turned back and pounced, but Ezekial ducked and the hunter flew over his head"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I reached for my blade"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "but it was missing"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I saw it then, still in the abomination's bac"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "It turned towards us"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "and howled to the sky"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "and the sky responded"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "a bolt of lightning shot from above and struck the blade"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "and then it was gone"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Zardoz stood still"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "and then looked towards us and stepped forward"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Once"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Twice"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "Three steps"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "and he fell"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I retrieved my sword from his body, and we absconded to the plane we'd come in"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "I didn't return to necro for some time"
[chatnet] Uriel says, "And that's the story of my first trip to the Necropolis"
