The loud explosions from above continued, and it was hard to tell if they were from actual explosions or just shockwaves sent off due to some sort of attack. If one listened closer, the sound of screaming could be heard as well.
"Is it some sort of attack?" Wendy asked. "But who would even attack a place like this, where there are over two hundred Zombie Hunters?"
Dart, who had come closer to the two, started to laugh.
"You Zombie Hunters really thought you were some type of untouchable force or something?" Dart said, as he continued to laugh. It was hard to tell whether he was some type of madman or knew something that she didn't, but Zain did know.
"Is this the attack you were talking about? Have the Dark Zombies decided to act?" Zain asked.
Dart nodded.
"My friend in the other cell, he signalled that it was time." Dart explained.
"What type of attack is this? Who are the Dark Zombies? I mean, it's impossible anyway. Even if there is an attack, it's impossible for them to get through all of the Zombie Hunters," Wendy said once more.
It was because she was second-guessing herself. Even now, as they continued to talk, screams were heard from above, and the fighting was continuing. If there was a small-scale attack, then it would have been over by now.
"What's your plan? How are we going to get out of here?" Zain asked.
"The plan, we are part of the plan," Dart explained. "It was set in motion long ago. Did you think we were caught and sent here? No, we were here to just pass on information. All for this moment."
Anna had her eyes wide open with excitement as she came over.
"You mean, someone is here to break us out, a group you're part of?" She asked.
Dart looked her up and down and turned away in disgust.
"This whole thing was set up to get rid of part of the Zombie Hunters group. We are zombies, and you have chosen to make us your enemy. It's too late now. We'll get rid of every single one of you."
Anna's hands were shaking.
"You bastard, are we really any different? You were a human before you were a zombie, you're just an undead human. Why are you acting like you're some type of different race? And I helped you to survive!"
"If what you say is true, then why do you treat us so differently then, to the point where you created a group called the Zombie Hunters? Now that you're no longer the ones hunting, you suddenly try to justify why we are the same. It's those kinds of actions that make me sick."
Wendy was gritting her teeth as well, but hurting Dart in this situation would do nothing. She decided it would be best for her to just go ahead and join the others.
"Wait!" Zain called out. "If you want to live, then I think it's better off that you stay here."
For some reason, she felt inclined to believe Zain, even though he was a prisoner while she wasn't. During those few moments, where she thought about staying, the noise of the fighting had stopped.
"It's only been about ten minutes," Wendy thought. A nervous smile appeared.
"It looks like the problem was dealt with after all. I have to admit, you had me worried for a second," Wendy claimed.
"I wouldn't be too sure. How do you know which side has won the battle?" Dart replied.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the underground cellar as people were coming down the stairs. At the same time, another sound followed, something scratching along the floor as if it was being dragged, dropping down from each step once in a while.
'The sound of chains,' Zain thought.
A distinctive memory came back to Zain. Through the dark, Wendy was unable to see so well down the tunnel, but she was sure of it, the ones that had entered weren't Zombie Hunters.
The door to the first cell, the sound of the metal bending, was heard.
"We're saved, we can finally get out of this place."
"Yes, yes!" The sounds of cheers continued.
However, they were followed by a dull scream before there was complete silence. Zain could smell it, it was the smell of blood.
"As I said before, the only ones that will be leaving this place are the zombies and nothing else," Dart claimed.
The sound from before continued, as if metal was being bent, and straight after a few words of happiness before they fell silent. Eventually, the cells that were nearby had caught on.
"No... no, please, I'll stay inside, just don't come in here, don't. I promise I'll stay inside."
"I'm not even part of the Zombie Hunters, I'm just someone that they managed to capture!"
Hearing these words was daunting for both Kyle and Anna. The two of them knew what was to come of them. After they had survived so long, in battle after battle, this was how it was going to end.
"You bastard, if I'm going to die, then I might as well kill you or take you as a hostage or something!" Anna said. She quickly cut her thumb and drew out blood, creating the glaive for herself and a sword for the soldier. At least she knew he was on their side.
"Zain, are you with him? Are you with these Dark Zombie guys?" Anna asked.
Zain wasn't with them, but he was unsure of what his answer should be.
"Yes, I am quite interested in that question as well, Zain," an old voice said from behind.
Turning around, he could see the old man with the mask, and by his side, two zombies with no eyes, just a mouth, and chains wrapped around their arms, dangling on the floor.
