Cold Rot (Decaying Winter Fanfic)

IM FREEEE, also fight scene

WOOOO, HELL YEAH.

Anyways.

Where were we...

Sledge Queen perspective of what happened:

It was a regular day for castle,as usual, the raiders split into 2 teams, the other scavenge and scout, and the others guard our territory.

I Am Currently sitting in a rock, thinking to past the time while my guards accompany me.

What topic to tackle... Let's see here...

Since the strandeds and us did a truce and some sort of an alliance, it would make sense to sent a request of alliance to scavengers too right?

It has been quite a long time since I seen that man.

But enough of that for now, I need to review over the supply we had, the populace are increasing Atleast 1 per 3-4 months, and since. A single person only need 2 meals or 1 a day, counting with what we have right now... Damn, we might not have enough... Do the shopkeep allow buying in huge bulks? I assume not, because if she did, The strandeds would try to buy bulks of food from her, I guess as a person you can buy a minimum of 2-3 meals, but as a faction is an entirely different story...

I asked our housing and populace expert how many people we have and it's about 46 people, double that you get... 92 meals... What we have is about... 168 meals... Along with the strandeds, take away 20... Shit... Maybe we can afford giving out citizens only 1 meal per day, no wait, if we do that it'll cause them to be upset and be angry, and the children might starve as well... Should we consider giving the strandeds less food? It'll anger them, and they'll definitely be a thorn in my ass...

Damnit... The scavengers are always the fastest looting stuff, and we are only capable of scavenging their leftovers and scraps, and that's because the scavengers immunity is stronger, allowing to get exposed to the storm a lot longer unharmed... Maybe it's a good idea partnering up with the scavenger for extra foo-

Suddenly, an explosion, I looked over to my right and see floating planks in the air before falling to the ground.

And explosives, dynamite grenades are being chucked out the holes! Damnit... What are these guys doing!

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING SHOOT THE EXPLOSIVES!" I Say while pointing the dynamites and grenades slowing falling from the sky.

The guards were snapped out their trance and aimed their firearms and shot them mid air before it hit the ground, who dared to invade my castle?!

Out comes 3 figure in cloaks, and like in sync they grab their covers, and tossed them to the air seemed too flashy- ITS THE STRANDEDS?! HOW DARE THEY?! I KNEW I COULDNT TRUST THEM.

But This Is Weird, When I Look At Them, I Feel Weirded Out Somehow, Like Their Face Is Out Of Proportionate, like it melted a bit? And unknowingly I had a chill go up my spine.

...
Tch.

No matter, it only showed them how rotten to the core they truly are.

And the battle commenced!

Ok third pov now

Sledge Queen fires her knuckle boom behind her, and boosted her at the strandeds(?) And she Readied her decimator, ready to swing down to crush some skulls.

One of the strandeds(?) Ran at her and grabbed her Sledge hammer right as it swung, catching her off guard, while another dashed at her and suddenly making a knife appear out of nowhere, and the knife looks awfully out of place, the blade isn't straight, every inch of the knife, even the handle is bloody, and the outer part looks like the knife has a weird surface almost resembling colored skin.

Using her 2nd chamber in her knuckle boom, she pointed it to the ground and launched herself in the air before the knife even scratched her.

Her free hand grabbed a single blue shotgun shell, and left it mid-air, and she used her decimator to hit it's back and making it explode! Sending the pellets down towards the strandeds(?).
(Don't even tell me that's not realistic, she can survive being shot to the sky and survive the impact of landing.)

But as if it's controlled by another being at the same time, if jumped backwards, upwards to dodge the pellets, even using the same feet, and the same pose.

But Sledge Queen swore on herself, she just saw one of them eyes changed into a mouth, she might be the only seeing this, but she knows she's not hallucinating, she ate normally, slept 8 hours, and checked her immunity of systematic virus.

Both the strandeds(?) And Sledge Queen landed on the ground at the same time, and the rest of guards like jaguars, instantly let out a roar of bullets, but the strandeds(?) Somehow anticipated this the moment they touched the ground immediately looked for cover.

One of them peaked out their cover and had a impact grenade without the pin, the Sledge Queen flared up and set herself in a baseball swinging motion, and using her right leg to kick up a half of a brick, and used it as a ball, intercepting the thrown impact grenade, exploding it mid air.

And she just noticed throughout the encounter, they didn't even blink once, and not even when the grenade exploded 3 feet Infront of them, the light did not affect the stranded(?) Eyes.

Seeing this situation can't be easily solved with brute force, looks like we need to strategize...

I see an unopened crate next to me, I swung my hammer at its lock, hoping its not a goddamn blueprint.

Inside was a model 6 Unica, not complaining, she took it and stored it on her back pocket.

First, she launched into the air, then longshotted, causing them to spread out, now, although she isn't the best at aiming, she ain't half bad, so she quickly took out the Unica, and emptied the chamber 2 for each of them.

And unfortunately all 5 missed, except one lucky shot, that hit the neck of a stranded(?)

Stopping immediately with no look of panic or fear of death in the agent's(?) Eyes, it looked towards her slowly falling to the ground with an eyes excluding pure hatred and malice.

This image basically.

While the other 2 ran away and other guard chasing after them, alongside gatekeeper, the one who got shot in the neck was blasted instantly by my other guards and emptying their mags on it.

But what most unnerved me is that when someone is gunned down, their face gives off some sort of helpless emotion, but on this... Agent(?), It didn't show any kind of emotion, it only had that same poker face and after being filled with brass and lead, it still stood, but everyone knew he would fall down, but it didn't crouch down a bit before falling flat on the ground.

Everyone kept a lookout while I crept closer and.. oh God! The smell! It doesn't smell like a rotting corpse, but I just smelt... Unnatural, like it's not even a corpse! What the hell....

Looking at... It's face, it had an uncanny look on it, like it's just ain't right! As if he was a love child between Alabamian cousins with their grandma! Holy Shit!

Then, everyone felt it, a presence near the entrance, all of turned around with guns at the ready.

But what we found was simply a bald man with antlers on his head, holding a cane with a sweater on him.

"Hello, Everyone!"
