Emma watched with a smile on her face as her new dead friend and his horde battled Claymore and his horde and cheered as he delivered the finishing blow. Emma was so excited that she almost didn't notes Rocky attaching a extra barrel and scope that only his stinger had for extra long range accuracy. Normally he wouldn't bother at this range but with a boss zombie its just best not to take any chances. Emma turned as she heard the sound of the weapon being set on the roofs ledge. Her eyes widened when she saw him take aim at her new dead friend. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" Emma cried as she tackled Rocky causing him to let off a shot into a window a few feet from his target. She looked back down at him as he looked up at her before wiping his chains causing all of his smart zombies to follow him into an ally and vanish into the shadows.

(Rocky) "EMMA! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?"
(Emma) "He saved my life."

Rocky just covered his face at her response then looked down as several men in swat uniforms and a wolf's head painted on their backs ran into the ally way only to emerge a moment later.

(Man's voice) "This is Wolf team, no sign of targets, they vanished."

Dan looked down at the battlefield before turning to his friends.

(Dan) "Hey guys... Were did Claymore's body go?"
***************************************************
In another ally a large zombie was walking with his head barely hanging from its spin and a little flesh. With one hand it gripped its head with its meaty fingers and set it back were it was meant to be before its boss zombie regenerative ability kicked in. When its neck was fully restored it picked up a dead body and started eating it as it walked in the direction of the local air port to get a new blade.
*************************************************
You managed to escape the area threw the sewers with your horde. As you walked along you thought about what just happened. First the battle. You never faced another as the living called you, Boss Zombie before. All those hours you spend every day training has payed off. Then the reaction you got upon victory. You were used to the living attacking you after you've saved them. Your unbeating heart has become numb to that. But that girl... No living has ever tried to help you before. At least... not since you were alive yourself. You heard squeaking and turned to see that your horde had found a rat's nest and were gorging themselves. You never cold get used to the idea of eating rats but if your horde wanted them they deserved them after their performance in battle today. So you leaned back against the wall and waited. The sewers were a labyrinth running threw out the city and you made plenty of twists and terns so even if the solders did figure out you were down here its unlikely they wold find you. Fortunately you memorized the sewers layout.
*****************************************************
Emma was back in camp getting angry glares from everyone she passed. Word of what happened spread quickly. SPLAT! A rotten tomato collided with her face.
(Child) "Dead lover! Go get eaten already!"
Emma just wiped it off her face and kept walking. It was better then the rotten eggs she was bombarded with earlier. She crawled into her now vandalized tent. Keeping the tent open to keep the stink from building up inside.
*Pen* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
