In the morning: The Butler, In the Fray

*3rd pov*

"What the devil is that thi–" Ciel gets cut off. "My knives ought to have pierced its heart... This is a being I myself do not quite comprehend." The corpse walks forward. "'Aurora Society's resurrection of the dead– Occult it may not be!' I never for a moment thought what Lau said would turn out to be true!" Ciel said. "Dammit...! A failure, eh!?" Rain grits his teeth.

"What are you waiting for!? Kill it quickly." Rian orders the two men. "PHOENIX!!" The two men do the phoenix pose and start to fire at the corpse. The corpse turns around and walks to the men as the men keep firing at her, but she keeps walking towards them. "Eep...!" The corpse eats the man. "Kuh...! Useless, the lot of you!!" Rian escapes.

"!! Wait..." Ciel calls out. "Young master!" Sebastian stops him. "UUHHHN..." The corpse turns to them. "! How in the world does one stop that!?" Ciel questions. "Perhaps it will do to dismember it into immobility for the time being?" Sebastian pulls out more butter knives. "Oh, for the love of..." (Y/n) uses her ability to make her jacket tails turn into black spikes and strikes to the head of the corpse which fully dies. "Always aim for the head." (Y/n) informs. "How did you know that?" Ciel questions her. "I watch movies, shows, and play games about zombies, so I have a long knowledge of them. Good thing this is made by a machine instead of a virus or else we'll get infected by their bite and come back as them." (Y/n) smirks. "EH!?" Ciel and Sebastian are shocked by the information.

"Ah, so one of you knows about destroying the head, huh?" A voice said. "!?" The three look to see Ronald with his death scythe that looks like a lawnmower as he stands next to the corpse.

"You are–" Sebastian looks at Ronald. "Say what!? Ahhh! I knew it! This one's dead already!! That's why I said I'd reaped her soul 'n' everythiiiing~!" Ronald looks at notebook. "Who is that?" Cie asks Sebastian. "You too should know his kind well, young master." Sebastian said. "Yup." (Y/n) nods.

"A-ha, this one's still got a soul." Ronald goes to the mother's body. "Ups-a-daisy!" Ronald uses his scythe on the mother. "Susannah Connor. Born July 23rd, 1841. Died April 19th, 1889 of shock due to extensive hemorrhaging. Remarks– None in particular. Judgement complete." Ronald puts a stamp on the page.

"!! A grim reaper...!?" Ciel realized. "Nn?" Ronald turned to the three. "Those outfits. Would you two happen to be the infamous 'Sebastian darling'? '(N/N)'? Though, (N/N) is a looker." Ronald at the two, mostly at (Y/n). "I do very much loathe being addressed that way, but... ...I am indeed Sebastian Michaelis, butler to the House of Phantomhive. The lady next is (Y/n) Kuro, who is the cat to the House of Phantomhive. And you would be?" Sebastian questions him. "Ronald Knox. Grim reaper dispatch, retrieval division. Thanks for lookin' out for my senior!" Ronald introduces himself.

"Just now, (Y/n) mentioned that these creatures cannot be killed 'unless we aim for their heads.' Do you grim reapers know something of these incidents where the dead are brought back to life?" Sebastian questions. "Nah, we haven't got any real details. But... ...we've had reports of corpses being active their souls were collected. Management's put in claims against us, treating the cases like the retrieval division screwed up, so... ...I came to look into things, but... Turns out it's a soulless corpse through and though, this. I mean, I culled Margaret Connor's soul two weeks ago, no doubt about it." Ronald explains.

"So the dead have not been returned to life. It's just a moving corpse, hm..." Ciel said. "Is it even possible for a body without a soul to move?" Sebastian questions. "The 'brass' says that it's impossible too, but... ...the grim reaper dispatch is investigating in the first place 'cos the corpses really are moving, as you just saw." Ronald shrugs. "So all we know for sure at present is 'destroy their heads to kill them'..." Sebastian said. "To be exact, you're not 'killing' them, just 'incapacitating' them." Ronald said. "Looks like we've got to force a confession out of Rian. C'mon then!!" Ciel, Sebastian, and (Y/n) run to the doors Rian escaped, but...
