You rev up the Rainbow Arm, and are pleased to feel that hum of power build. Exhaust of the entire light spectrum fills it, puffing and filling your oculars in confetti colored smoke. It masks over the empty sockets of the mess of metal before you.
You circle the Anti-Hive, it tracks you in turn, pellets dripping out of its permeable metal.
>statement< Oh you're gonna die, you'll live just like us...
The creature struggles onto its "legs", or at least to upright itself. It wobbles. Looks like the Wood wasn't ready to contend with a gun.
>exclamation<You'll become just like us! All of you will live inside of your own corpses, and never die-!!
...
<one-liner>I bet your Pizzeria sucked.
You take advantage of the staggered Thing, and move onto the beast, fist raised. You lift it high, until that satisfying hum reaches that screaming hiss- and slam it down.
Thoom!
>exclamation<We are just one of many! This means nothing!
Smoke begins to billow from the liquid metal, swirling around the impact you make in its core. A part of it screams, others inside remain coherent in their profanity, slurs, and hatred.
>exclamation<We'll come back-so long as the Lake houses the Dark-we won't die!
>statement<Kinda wish we could though...
The metal is gurgling, taking to the air as noxious smoke. JJ peers around the corner, shocked at the display.
>statement< Oh damn they got a cute robot girl, all we had was a stupid crate.
>exclamation< If you insult the Number One Crate one more time Chet, I will sing the VengaBoys over and over again until your rotting body is your smallest concern.
The tinny voices fade into nothing, as once again, thanks largely to luck and a bit of Cursed weaponry, you manage to outdo a threat far, far larger than yourselves.
>”Holy corkscrews. Do you think that... got you any Remnant?”
<statement>No clue, do undead count? Wait-
...
<inquiry>Did we just technically slay a zombie?
>”... Technically? I didn’t really understand what was going on there...”
