Jumping off the stage, they started to fight back the mob. Vinnie started fighting a few of them back with her fists as Skipp ran away with Maggot. Lorelai stood in front of the snobby woman from before as she lunged at the demoness with her umbrella. Lorelai shrugged before she lunged at her. The two of them sword fought for a good minute before the woman pushed her back. With a emotionless face, she stood up and the blade of her dagger started glowing white. She smiled, revealing her fangs as the woman grew fearful. With inhuman speed, Lorelai attacked her with her dagger before the woman fell to the ground, dead. She smirked before a man popped up next to her, about to attack. Suddenly, Stone hit the guy's head with a rum bottle, breaking it before he stabbed the guy's eye with what remained of the bottle. He gave her a thumbs up before he grabbed her hand and helped her to her feet.  She smiled before Vinnie joined them with her own dagger and wrapped her arms in white bandages. Stone lit one of his bottles on fire before looking at the girls. With a nod, they continued their attack.
   
Meanwhile, Skipp continued to run away from the mob before he and Maggot was surrounded.

"Wanna hear some folk indie alternative?" He asked, pulling out his stringed instrument.

The crowd growled in reply.

"No? Okay!" He said before he used his instrument to hit them, knocking them unconscious.

Suddenly, the man from before, still having glass in his eye, lunged at him. But before he could get Skipp and Maggot, Lorelai tackled him and used her claw-like nails to dig into his throat to stop him. She looked up at Skipp as he smiled before more people surrounded them. Then, a flaming bottle was thrown and blew away the mob. Looking up, they saw Stone walking out of the smoke. He carefully tossed another bottle into his hand a few times before throwing it behind him. An explosion went off behind him, making him look handsome as the wind moved his hair. Maggot and Skipp smiled. Lorelai's ears flattened as her wail wagged, her face turning red and her pupils dilapidated. Skipp quickly hugged him, only to be pushed away from the emo boy. Lorelai quickly stood up and hugged his side before giving Skipp a light noogie. Vinnie then joined them and punched Lorelai's arm before she hugged Skipp and gave him a fist bump. But the happy moment didn't last long when the mob of Karen zombies started to surround them. With their backs against the wall, Lorelai groweled again.

"Listen up, Motherfuckers! Maggot and Lorelai are runnin' with us now. That means you'll never get to lay a finger on them!" Vinnie said as a surprised Lorelai smiled a little bit.

"Oh..." Maggot cooed before...he started glowing?"

"Maggot?..." Skipp asked before Maggot floated up into the sky.

And once in the sky, he transformed himself into a biblically accurate
angel.

"Holy shit! Is that a angel?!?" Lorelai asked as she and her friends looked at the beautiful creature.

"Damn. They really do grow up fast" Stone said.

Greetings humanity. I am a being of Divine nature come to judge the worthiness of man's morality. I came to you disgusted as a valuable infant seeking refuge and I leave enlightened. My eyes opened to Ramshackle's true nature, that which I deem...unworthy.

"Ooh, that's gonna hurt" Lorelai quietly commented as her tail wrapped around her legs and she fiddled with the red heart-shaped spade.

You are a town sunken to the depths of depravity, lavishing in it's gluttony, and wear it's greed with pride. As for you, my dear benefactors, though you too are flawed, and God forbid you three reproduce, your hearts be kind and well-intentioned. You're bonds of friendship are strong and the time I spent with you three mortals gave me a deep sense of belonging and purpose. As such, the name "Maggot" you bestowed upon me will always have a warm place in my heart.
