"I a- huh?" It took Yuno a moment to glance over the journal that Rose had shown her. "..." And, despite its content, took it better than expected. Was it precisely because she was undead? An emotionless machine? Or maybe because she was slowly, but surely, getting used to the situation. It didn't matter either way.

"Whatever I am..." She whispered to herself. "... I'll just make the best out of it. The future... " No. She couldn't bring herself to utter these words. The past was important. Her past was important. Her memory was still cloudy, surely she could... .

"Alright!" Yuno replied with newfound strength as she turned around on the spot. "Yeah, let's just get out of here. Do you know of anyone else in this facility, Greene? There were voices, earlier." She asked him as she followed her sister. "And here." And also handing the journal over to him.

"You think this, these... Goliath-things are still somewhere around?" She also asked Rose.

"Yeah, let's just get out of here. Do you know of anyone else in this facility, Greene? There were voices, earlier. And here."

"Err, no. I just got here not too long ago." Greene took the journal from Yuno and gave it a quick skim. "Damn. But hey, this must be several hundred years old. These Goliath thingies must be long gone now, right?" The human speculated optimistically. "You know, I find it weird we've stuck this long and I haven't gotten your names."

The trio left the Factory Manager room and back into the corridor. With all available areas explored, the party moved forward to the metal door at the end of the corridor. Yuno and Rosemary did not need much effort pushing it open. The area beyond was a dark factory covered with high ceilings. There was a speaker there with shouting and commanding voices flowing out, the source of the commanding voices heard from the corridor. The sounds of countless work machines were also heard.

This was the undead weapons manufacturing factory. Numerous people are working and assembling something huge. The working people looked terrible. Their bodies were rotting, most of their hair had fallen off and work clothes worn out. They were Zombies. They were working on what looked like a giant human that was obviously being assembled. This was likely the corpse giant 'Goliath' from the journal, still being assembled and created after all this time.

-----

The scene before Yuno reminded her of something. Her past as an unwitting research subject for a Necromancer was given clarity. The scene was not an exact replica of the experiment but the tools, the tables, the lights, the Zombies assistants were all there. The now clear memory may have brought old pain for Yuno but it also brought forth a new one. A new memory from her past.

[Yuno has gained a Memory Fragment. Roll or select one from the tables]

[Roll a Madness Check. Since both characters are forewarned, add +2 to the roll.]

"Okay, I guess I was wrong. They're still making 'em." Greene was a bit perturbed by the sight. "What do we do, girls?"

Rosemary

---

[Madness Check:8]

Her eyes scanned the area, to the undead still working on the weapon, to the large Goliath thing, and then to the area around it. There was a lot of them, and only three of them. So far none of them had any interest in her and Yuno at the moment.

"Lets go. It has nothing to do with us. We are not involved."

She moved to look for an exit. Whatever war that was happening, whatever thing they were working on, she had no interest in. Why would they risk themselves needlessly? Rosemary wasn't some animal that wanted to just smash everything she didn't recognize after all.

[Madness Check: 8] Success!

As the trio walked into the factory hall, Yuno was surprised to see more undead. The voice through the speaker had her fooled good. Instead, she was greeted with something... familiar. The girl took a few steps back as old memories began to feel like they had just happened yesterday. The assistants zombies, the various machinery, the dim lighting. Everything felt so familiar, yet different. A key character was missing. A being that just thinking about made her blood boil if it could. That damn, cursed Necromancer...

Then, as if possessed, Yuno suddenly started counting. She measured the amount of rust various, in the focus of the lightning, screws had gathered over the decades. The revealed bones on the rotting bodies, who simply continued to decay. The amounts of times a lamp was flickering every-so-often, barely holding on before completely giving out. She counted the number of breaths she d- no, there was no need, this wasn't now but—

[Memory Fragment: Count] gained!

As Rosemary called her back into reality, the girl quickly caught up before giving another look over the relentless workers. Given now clarity, something inside Yuno had changed. She wasn't quite certain what it was but... "Nothing to do with us? We did wake up in this place, though." She tried to reason. "Shouldn't we stop them from doing... not good?"

For a moment she considered pulling Greene into this question, too, but there was no way she'd try to convince her sister through siding with the potential opinion of some stranger.

*BWOOP* *BWOOP* *BWOOP*

Before Yuno and Rosemary could agree to a course of action, the factor's alarms blared. "That can't be good." Greene remarked.

The growling of hounds were heard as well as the shuffling of steps. A mob of regular zombies appeared and with them were two fierce undead dogs, their teeth bared against the intruders. Another group of zombies appeared but they were armed with guns and wore security uniforms. And last but not least, one of the Goliaths in the operating tables teared off its restraints and went to join the opposing force. "Are guns even gonna work against that thing?!" Greene panicked as he took his position.

Yuno and Rosemary's choices were made for them, they must fight.









GOLIATH (Max AP = 10)


HOUND A (Max AP = 9)


HOUND B (Max AP = 9)


ZOMBIES (Max AP = 8)


SOLDIERS (Max AP = 8)




Rosemary was the quickest among all the combatants, so she moves first.

Rosemary

---

Within moments of the threats identified, Rosemary had already whipped out her dual pistols, training them upon the first ones in front. It was as if she had practiced those movements a thousand times before. Far before anyone had even started to move, she took the initiative, trying to take care of the enemy as fast as she could.

The twin pistols roared as she shot towards the foremost zombies, careful not to shoot Yuno in the back.

Rosemary shot down four of the zombies in the mob. Yuno and the Goliath would be the next to move.

The Goliath moved closer to the Dolls. Its Long Legs gave it more area to cover, moving to the same area as Yuno now.

Before Rose could even give a reply, the alarms suddenly started to ring as the area was flooded with... enemies? They were undead, just like her, yet different. For a moment, the girl considered if it was wrong to feel nothing at the prospect of taking them down, but something inside her kept her calm. Calm and cold, just her body was.

Without delay, Yuno's arm was engulfed in the shining, deadly, light of the only weapon she had. A true marvel of technology. But just as she was about to try and slice one of the monsters, the Goliath's steps that shook the floor below them made her lose enough balance to miss completely. Or was she simply not used to this?

[Light Saber Attack: 3+1] Failed!

Yuno missed, and fumbled her attack. Rosemary took a glance at the girl in front of her, before renewing her concentration, aiming for the foremost zombies. She had already dropped four of them, and with her calm fury, she dropped two more, the falling cadavers knocking over the rest enough for her second bullet to miss.

Yuno moved to slice some Zombies with her Lightsaber but missed.

Rosemary shot down two more Zombies. Their numbers thin and their threat reduced.

The Hounds make their move. The first Hound (A) attacked Yuno with its bared Saberteeth. The canine bit into Yuno's jaw, almost tearing it off, before the Doll could get the Hound off but the undead dog was not done and went for another strike, biting into her head.
[Attack Check: 10]
[Yuno's Jaw and Kung Fu parts have been damaged!]

The second Hound (B) ignored Yuno and went after Rosemary, moving to her area quite swiftly.

As the following was happening, Yuno and Rosemary were moving too.

The Soldiers finally take their aims and opened fire. The bullets from their Simultaneous Fire hit Yuno right in the head, destroying what's left of the area while some bullets hit her body.
[Attack Check: 10]
[Yuno's Brain and one Entrails parts have been damaged!]

The Zombies swarm around Yuno and swung their claws. Yuno could not move to avoid them but she can move enough to choose which part of her body would be hit.
[Attack Check: 6]
[Yuno can choose which one available Part of her will be damaged.]

"They're tearing her apart!" Greene cried in horror. He took aim at the second Hound (B) and fires his sniper rifle. The shot missed. "Damn it!"
[Attack Check: 2]

Rosemary

One of the hounds came closer, as she started to fumble with her pistols, while Yuno seemed to be torn piece by piece.

"YUNO! Tch!"

She whipped around, trying to shoot the dog that was near her.

*Use two ap with Dual Pistols to shoot the zombies [check:4] SA+2/missed

It was a weird feeling, if it could be called a feeling in the first place. It looked like neither pain nor the fact she was being slaughtered alive tampered much with what the girl was doing herself. After she had initially missed, Yuno increased the energy output of her weapon as she engulfed each and every single enemy close to her in bright light. Exchanging blows for blows, the Doll was an undead whirlwind of death.

[Lightsaber Attack 9+1] SUCCESS! -2 AP
[Activating Calamity] -2 AP
[Damage] 2(1+Dismember) to Hound A, Goliath, Zombie

As her brilliance faded to a lower output to focus on a single target, she simply missed as she twisted her body in a way to not get hit too fatally.

Yuno, with her Calamity ability, used her Lightsaber to deal damage to all her enemies in her area. The Zombie mob were wiped out and the Hound (A) and the Goliath had some of their parts obliterated.
[AP = 8 -> 4]

Rosemary shot at the Hound (B) near her with her Dual Pistols but missed.
[AP = 8 -> 6]

The Goliath roared and swung its Monster Hand at Yuno. The attack connected and the Goliath shifted its Spike on its hand to deal more damage.
[Attack Check = 9]
[AP = 7 -> 3]
[Yuno's Fist, Forearm, Entrails, Spine and Reflexes parts have been damaged!]
[Yuno has Parts/Skills that has Defend. She can use that to negate the damage on some chosen Parts.]

The Hound (A) on Yuno attacked her again with its Saberteeth but the Doll was wising up to its moves and the bite missed.
[Attack Check = 2]
[AP = 7 -> 5]

Meanwhile, the Hound (B) on Rosemary made its first attack. It tried to bite with its Saberteeth but the Doll was quick on her feet and the attack missed.
[Attack Check = 2]
[AP = 7 -> 5]

It was Rosemary's turn to move.

Rosemary

She didn't have much time to worry about anyone else now. How was Greene faring? Was Yuno alright? Rosemary couldn't think, couldn't hesitate, as she simply seemed to move quickly and robotically, trying to eliminate the these things that came towards them.

Rosemary continued laying down the fire with her Dual Pistols. She hit her mark and damaged the Hound (B) fighting her.
[AP = 6 -> 4]

"Keep it up!" Greene fired his sniper rifle at the Hound (B) on Rosemary and landed a fine shot, destroying much of its remaining body. The only useful part of the Hound (B) now was its mouth. "That's what I'm talking about!" The human congratulated himself before taking aim at the other opponents.
[AP = 5 -> 2]

The Soldiers opened fire on Yuno again. The bullets from their Simultaneous Fire hit Yuno in her legs.
[Attack Check = 9] [Since Arm location is completely destroyed, Legs is the chosen location]
[Yuno's Foot and one Bone parts have been damaged!]
[AP = 5 -> 2]

The Hound (A) fighting Yuno attempted another nasty bite with its Saberteeth. But the Doll was ready and the canine missed.
[Attack Check = 5]
[AP = 5 -> 3]

Meanwhile, the Hound (B) on Rosemary continued to attack despite its heavily-damaged body. Its Saberteeth missed its mark but the undead dog's body gave way and it fell to on the factory floor, dying its final death.
[Attack Check = 3]
[Hound B has been defeated!]

"Just a little more, girls! Okay, maybe quite more but we can do this!" Greene attempted to cheer up his undead allies.
[Yuno and Rosemary must roll a Conversation Check. Remove 1 point of Madness upon success]

The undead hostiles have made their moves and were now in recovery, it was the time for Yuno and Rosemary to strike.

"I understand!" She turned to Yuno. "Don't give up, Yuu!"

No time to think, just fight. No time to breathe, no time to hesitate. No time. No time. No time. No time.

Her pistols roared again.

AP:2/12

There was only the enemy, and herself. Although even 'herself' became less and less of a thing. Or so Yuno thought for a moment, as she kept being fired, punctured, smashed, and bitten at until, at least, she heard both Greene's and Rose's voice. Did she even still have hears?

Nonetheless, while Greene's voice felt somewhat reassuring, it was Rose's sweet encouragement that filled her with determination. 'Yuu', it had a nice ring to it.

[Convo Check: 1] Gained Trusting relationship with Greene

"HOOOORRRYYYAAA!" As the girl side-stepped the dog's attack, simply accepting the fire of the soldiers, her bright weapon burned with brilliance as she swept down on in the dog in one fatal motion. Precise, and deadly.

[Attack Check: 10+1 | -2 AP] 3 Damage to Doggo

"Just die already..." Following that, the undead girl increased the output of her beam weapon as she made a step forward and swung upwards, her focus now on the towering Goliath that had already hurt her so much.

Rosemary opened fire on the Hound (A) with her Dual Pistols but her shots missed the canine.
[AP = 4 -> 2]

It was Yuno who delivered the final blow, her Lightsaber cutting the undead dog to pieces before switching to the Goliath to cut some parts off. However, the Goliath used its Reinforced Muscle to shrug off the blows.
[AP = 4 -> 2]
[Hound A has been defeated!]
[Goliath used its Reinforced Muscle to reduce Yuno's attack to 0]

The Goliath, seeing the battered Yuno, moved its gaze from her, likely thinking she was on the cusp of death and thus not worthy anymore of attention, and focused on Rosemary. Its Long Arm allowed it to reach Rosemary and attack her with its Monster Hand. The monstrosity missed, however, with the Doll moving out of the way.
[Attack Check: 4]
[AP = 3 -> 0]

As the following was happening, Yuno and Rosemary were moving too.

"Damn, that thing's big." Greene sighed as he shot at the Goliath. The shot hit the giant and knocked off a part.
[Attack Check: 8]
[AP = 2 -> -1]

The Soldiers continued to lay on Yuno. Their Simultaneous Fire hit the Doll some more, tearing off more of the few remaining parts that she had.
[Attack Check: 7]
[AP = 2 -> -1]
[Yuno's Bone and Steel Bones parts have been damaged!]

There wasn't much to it. As Yuno was becoming more and more of a dead undead rather than a living undead, the girl simply continued to flail away at the gigantic Goliath. Over and over again, until either one of them would drop dead. No. She had to keep on going. She had to win. If she were to fall, then the monster in front of her would set eyes on...

Attack Check: 8+1 | -2 AP] 2 Damage to Goliath
[Chain attack: 9+1] 2 Damage to Goliath

As the Soldier's continued their carpet fire, it became also now clear that the girl had quite a few metallic alterations inside her. While her lower half was further decimated, the bullet's made only a slight dent into her torso.
