Crowbar Nurse  Chapter 8 â Mortal Combat
âWhat the?! Why are there so many of them here?!â
It was probably because we were loitering around in one spot that the zombies were now gathering around us. A cursory glance revealed about 30 of them shuffling closer and closer. The zombies looked like just your average ankle biters, but judging by how brutal they seem to be, theyâre probably not just normal ones⊠it seemed to be a swarm of the âkinda strongâ ones.
Our unstoppable army from hell were fighting for their lives⊠but armed with only crude clubs and metal pipes, they couldnât stand their ground. And since we were at the starting area of the game, there werenât many choices for weapons, aside from random junk like that.
âThis ainât good⊠I was hoping to look for bugs to exploit while our army holds the zombies back⊠Iâm just spitballing here, but do you have any items or anything to trap them in one place?â âHmm, let me seeâŠâ
As I watched the zombies slowly overcome the soldiers, I stroke my chin as I contemplated.
â⊠what about⊠hmm, no, that wouldnât workâŠâ âSo, weâre shit outta luck?â
I nodded along with Kiryƫ, tense and stiff.
âIt is a tough situation⊠but thereâs no reason to lose hope.â
He looks puzzled as I shouldered the assault rifle. I flashed him a smirk.
âLetâs just start killing them until we come across an opportunity. Iâm sure weâll be alright⊠we can do this together, KiryĆ«.â â⊠yeah, youâre right. We canât throw in the towel just yet.â
The situation left us with little to no choice but to fight our way out. Kiryƫ was looking oddly cheery amidst all of this. But I had to focus on the battle unfolding in front of us and so I promptly looked away.
This battle weâre headed into would prove to be a real handful.
With my rifle and KiryĆ« with his crowbar, we joined the fray. Our unstoppable hellish armyâor rather, the survivorsâwonât respawn when they lose all of their health. And if we want to use our downtime to search for bugs and glitches, weâll need to protect them. Looks like I canât help but to level up a little.
Give no quarter!
Carefully and precisely, I began to take them down one by one⊠but the enemies still had the upper hand. KiryĆ« and I were trying our damnedest to save our army, but we simply couldnât keep up. Another pair of zombies came to bolster their numbers. One or two zombies isnât anything to worry about, but at this rate, weâll be slowly overrun by them.
Thatâs when we noticed it.
âWhoa! Look at Nick! Heâs drawing all the zombies here!â
After splitting a zombieâs skull with his crowbar, KiryĆ« snapped over to the A-posing protagonist of this game.
⊠interesting.
Still standing upright in the middle of the parking lot was Nick, now being tackled and gnawed at by zombies. He seemed unfazed, though, as he stood unflinchingly in the same default position. ⊠wait, isnât he totally glitched out?
Crap, that canât be good for NickâŠ
I panicked. Nick should be getting real damaged from being chomped on like that. If the protagonist loses all their HP⊠whatâs going to happen to us? incomprehensible game world
âNick!â
I yelled. Weâve got to save him! But can we? KiryĆ« and I were already at our limits with the zombies in front of us! What else could we do?! And not to mention that at level one, Nick dies after being bit a mere three times. Doesnât that mean heâs alreadyâŠ!
âNiiick!â
I yelled, even knowing full well that I was already too late. He was at the mercy of the horde, but they showed him none. Eventually, he succumbed to the zombies and collapsedâall still in A-pose.
The protagonist was kicked and tossed around on the ground like a sack of potatoes. His health was probably in the negative, but Nick lays there unrelenting in his stance.
⊠wow. What a manly man.
His determination to maintain posture was less like a mannequin in a display window and more like a stoic warrior.
ââHuh? Oh, damn! We can totally make use of him!â
Kiryƫ snapped his fingers as he looked over at Nick.
âSera! Help me take care of the zombies around Nick!â âWhaâ? O-Okay!â
Though at that moment I didnât completely understand what KiryĆ«âs plans were, I did as I was told and began taking off their heads and suppressing the zombies. And for just a moment, Nick was safe in his immediate surroundings.
ââAlright!â
Immediately after showing a grin on his face, KiryĆ« slid right up to Nick, carried him off the ground, and darted away. It happened so quickly and smoothly, youâd miss it if you blinked. KiryĆ« really, really is physically adept.
With Nick tucked under one of his arms, KiryĆ« sprinted towards an overturned truck, upon which he lies the stiff figure. For better or worse, Nickâwho previously could only stand in one position and take attacks head-onâwas now actually useful! The zombies drew to him like moths to a flame but couldnât reach the top of the truck; he was the perfect bait.
âWhaaat?! Thatâs nuts!â âA job change from scarecrow to decoy and voila, Nickâs working exactly as I hoped!â
Kiryƫ was grinning from ear to ear, satisfied not only by how well his idea was working, but also because he made our fight that much easier. Though a little condescending to treat the protagonist of this game as simple bait⊠the results were speaking for themselves. The zombies that were gunning for us had shifted their aggression onto Nick, giving us more than enough breathing room. We handily swept up the remaining enemies nearby.
I feel bad for him, but with Nickâs help, Iâm sure⊠Iâm sure we can make it out of this! We can do this⊠we can beat them.
I pulled myself together. But a problem still remained⊠enemies will keep on coming if we stay in one spot for too long. Though, I had something up my sleeve for that.
â⊠KiryĆ«! Iâve got a great idea too!â
I kept my trigger finger moving as I shouted.
âWhat is it?!â âWeâll damage the zombies until theyâre barely alive, then feed them to our hellish army to finish them off!â âHmm? Then⊠oh, I see. So, weâll be letting the hellish army deliver the final blow, you mean?â âExactly! It was a little dicey earlier, but⊠we can do it now!â
Most of the zombies were standing in front of the truck, futilely reaching up in hopes of getting their fingers around the loitering Nick. And since weâre farther away, there were only five or six of them around us. Taking down the ones around us attracted a couple zombies that shuffled towards us.
Nice. This is working out greatâŠ
With only one or two of them, I could easily drop their health down to a sliver. Leave it to the survival horror nerd. Then, weâll get our unstoppable army to finish them off and level up with all the experience. We could even get them to max level like this! I mean, itâd take a lot of time, but still!
ââGotcha. Endless zombies mean endless experience, eh?!â
KiryĆ«âs voice cut through the clamor of gunfire and groans.
âYouâre amazing, Sera⊠I thought we were shit outta luck, but you came up with such a great plan with your quick thinking!â âHehehe, how flattering! But keep it coming! Getting back on track, though, leave this all to me. Keep looking for more glitches! ⊠oh, and here. Youâll die of traumatic brain injury if you keep literally using your head, so take this!â
I unstrapped the Vital Watch from my forearm and tossed it over to him.
âPut the Vital Watch on your wrist!â
While keeping a watchful eye on the zombies, I called out to Kiryƫ.
âCheck your health after running into walls head-first. That way, youâll know to use your healing herbs before your HP runs out!â âOkayâŠ? Wait, hold on. Itâs on my wrist, but how do I check my status?â
He sounded rather perplexed as he called back to me.
âI see my heartbeat show up, but I donât get how to read ECGs or anything.â âYou can tell by the color! If your pulse is green, then youâre at max health. Yellow means caution, and red means youâre in big trouble!â âUgh⊠of course, it is!â
Kiryƫ continued to yell.
âYeah, about that, Sera, the thing is that Iâm color blind. Iâm the kind of guy that canât differentiate between red and green! Is there any other way?!â â⊠oh, I didnât know! Sorry! Umm, the more hectic your pulse is, the worst your condition is! So, really take care of yourself if the line gets all scraggly!â âAlright, Iâll keep an eye on the watch!â
âThe statistics say that roughly 5 percent of males and 0.2 percent of females in Japan are born with color blindness, making it not at all unusual for KiryĆ« to be afflicted by it. And since our world isnât designed for people with color blindness, many of them tend towards invention and design⊠maybe KiryĆ« is like that too?
Hmm, so it seems that we resemble the characters of this game, but we keep the innate physical traits from our own bodies⊠what about me though? I feel like there was something strange that happened, butâŠ
Thoughts raced through my head, but I was still firing off round after round. Thereâs no visible health gauges above the zombiesâ heads, but Iâve got their stats all memorized. I know exactly how many bullets each and every enemy needs.
Bug testing is something only Kiryƫ can do; this is something only I can do.
I kept my rifle rattling. Right when I get a zombie to the point where itâll die if I shoot them again, I switch targets and start laying on damage. Rinse and repeat.
That leaves the only task for our unstoppable hellish armyâthe survivors, I meanâis to mop them up. Every zombie they finish off makes them all the powerful. In fact, the survivors get visibly tougher. And armed with whatever junk lying aroundâbe it a rock or a squeaky toy hammerâthey began taking down the zombies in the area.
âGradually, things were settling down as my plan came to fruition.
Zombies began pouring into the stage, but rather of coming towards us, they were drawn to Nick who was nearby. The few that would break off from the mob and target us instead would be taken down by the ten soldiers of our army. Our unstoppable army from hell were able to easily take care of incoming enemies, even without me and my rifle. And since KiryĆ« and I had managed to avoid leveling up, we didnât have to worry about stronger zombies popping up either. Our soldiers were now more than capable of taking care of mooks and leveling up.
Whew⊠looks like theyâll be okay even without supervision. Maybe I can let them level themselves up all on their own.
I let out a sigh of relief, glad that things have finally worked outâeven if this peace of mind were only temporary. A super strong enemy might show up to put us in our place if we overdo it⊠but speak of the devil.
Oh, whatâs this? The tank and minotaur are causing a bit of a traffic jamâŠ
The path between us was too tight for them to cross. Theyâre not supposed to show up in the beginning area anyway, so it kinda makes sense. The tank tries to force its way through, firing its gun. But every time it does so, the backblast from its gun heavily damages the minotaur beside it.
⊠maybe we can ignore them for now. Once we get our unstoppable hellish army to max level, theyâll be able to kill âem in the blink of an eye. Not to mention, if KiryĆ« and I donât level up too much, nothing stronger will appear either.
While I was thinking to myself, I turned over to KiryĆ«. He kept slamming into the wall such force⊠heâs already clipped halfway into it.
â Nick
The original protagonist of DMC3. Afflicted with a convenient bout of amnesiaâtypical of survival horror protagonists. In her high school years, Sera lived as Nick, completely and thoroughly clearing the game in all possible ways. She had even written down every minute detail of the game on her personal blog.
