Lady Luck's Request

Lady Luck sighed as she sat in a tree, bored out of her mind. She was on a requested mission from a commander she owed some favors too, there was a rank 2 that seemed promising to the commander so he wanted to test him out on a fairly higher ranked mission and wanted a spec op to be there to make sure he didn't die. The mission was easy, some necromancer in Xerna found one of the outlawed necromancy spells that cause an infectious unholy darkness zombie 'disease' if you can even call it that. Not a new spell, used quite a few times and fairly straight forward to deal with: Take holy light enchanted bullets and kill every single zombie, even the assault rifle the Rank 2 has should be plenty for it, not even that big of a horde. Only about hundred. Those enchanted bullets should make them explode with holy light upon being shot so it's not like he even needs a 1 to 1 on bullet count.

Whoever the mission being easy isn't what made her bored. The fact that he isn't here yet is what bored her, she was meant to stay hidden in a tree while she waited for the guy to come down in a heli at where the horde was going too but he has been taking forever.

Finally the chopper landed down, out walking a seemingly confidant Rank 2 with an AR, the yellow cross on the mag indicated that the gun was already loaded with the enchanted bullets. Lady Luck sighed once again and took out a packet of cigarettes from her inner suit pocket, lighting it up she didn't worry about the smell or smoke giving her away, the rank 2 was a human like her so the sense of smell was no big deal and this type of zombie was all about sight, not to mention that the smoke would be near impossible to notice as it fades in the bright open field air.

All in all this job was hardly a job, in fact it would be fairly enjoyable if there was anything happening.

Her attention snapped as the gunshots rang out from the Rank 2's AR, firing into the crowd of zombies. She watched the zombies burst as soon as the enchanted bullets even did as little as graze them, limbs, blood, and guts flew all over the place as the Rank 2 fearlessly fires on auto into the mass of rotting flesh. She was a little amazed. Amazed at the fact he has so many zombies and yet a large amount of the bullets are missing. Probably due to the fact he is legit firing from the hip as if he is Rambo with infinite ammo.


This mess went on for several minutes as several clips were emptied, the Rank 2 certainly did put a fair dent in the horde but as he reached to load in a new mag he soon learned that he had none left. His face for the first time in the mission showed the slighted sign of concerned as he upholstered his pistol, loaded as well with enchanted bullets he fired back into the crowd once again but this time while actually aiming for center mass.

The carnage started up again but at a much slower pace as he fired round after round into zombie after zombie whoever he didn't have many mags for his pistol and soon dried up of that too

Lady Luck sat up more in the tree, now interested in the fight.

The Rank 2 put his hand to his comms and yelled "I-I think I need Evac!" He than proceeded to give the details about his mission, the radio cracked back that it would be there in at most an hour. The Rank 2 winced but didn't say anything back, instead drawing his combat knife to defend him self.

Lady Luck was started to get worried that she might have to jump in, a combat knife with no enchantment on zombies like these would do little more than give them a slight annoyance, whoever she wasn't going to go now, it was too early. The infection can only infect dead viro, after all it's still necromancy so she can assume that unless he gets swarmed he'll be able to live a few unlucky claws and bites.

The Rank 2 held his ground defensively as the zombies waddled ever closer, a few would lunge at him but a quick kick to off put the zombie and a stab to the spine was more than enough to while not kill it, paralyze it.

He did this action for only around ten zombies before a small group drew near to him, it was too much for him to be able to take on with his combat knife and he was quickly over powered and pinned down by the small group of 10 zombies, they tore at his armor, legs, and arms, desperately trying to dismember for their unknown master.

Lady luck sighed and tossed her now bud cigarettes into the grass bellow and pulled out her empty .44 Revolver. She quickly swung open the cylinder and loaded one bullet into it before spinning it and snapping it closed as if she was about to play Russian Roulette. She leapt from the tree and as she fell she fired as she fell, the cylinder actually landed the bullet and in front of the barrel three playing card spades appeared before shattering from the incoming bullet, the bullet flew and despite being just a normal .44 shot it ripped through four of the zombies that where over lapping. She landed on the ground with a hard thud and walked over toward the group, the remaining six zombies stood to look at her, now interested in the new flesh. Lady Luck glanced at the Rank 2 to make sure he was still alive. Wounded quite a bit but it seems he was breathing. She loaded another singular bullet into her revolver and spun the cylinder again before firing, this time a 5 of diamonds appeared and a seemingly holy light enchanted bullet flew out and ripped through the middle zombie, it exploded with holy light killing two other zombies with it. She loaded in a new bullet and fired after doing the same spin as before, another 5 of diamonds but this time the bullet flying out was a unholy water enchanted bullet. It simply ripped through and killed one of the zombies

"Tch" She was disappointed in her luck, she dropped the case from the cylinder and did the same thing as before, a 3 of diamonds came up and another holy light bullet came through and landed in chest of a lunging zombie, it bursted with holy light whoever a fair big weaker than last time whoever the last zombie that was near them did get caught in the blast and die

Lady Luck walked over to the Rank 2's bleeding body as she dropped another case and loaded another bullet, she spun the cylinder and snapped it before pointing the revolver at the Rank 2's chest. She fired a round and a 8 of Hearts showed up. It shattered as the bullet broke through it and landed into the soldier's chest, whoever instead of killing the SRT it healed but by quite a lot. In fact given the wounds it almost healed him fully.

Lady Luck helped the guy up "Who are you?..." He asked weakly, still in a lot of pain

"Lady Luck" She answered plainly from behind her shades

"Why are you here?"

Lady Luck sighed, something she has been doing far too much recently, "Now is probably not the best time for a life story" She said, turning to the approaching horde. She loaded another bullet and aimed after a spin. A 10 of clubs shown up and the bullet shattered it, the bullet landed exactly where Lady Luck aimed, the ground in the middle of a large group in the horde, the round exploded massively, as if a bomb went off in the middle of them killing a large chunk of the zombies

As the rescue heli flew over head and landed behind them she loaded another round, doing her normal spin, and fired at the ground next to her. A Queen came and shattered summoning a Griffin next to her "Tch... Griffin huh? Luck you gotta shaft me in little ways like this?... What ever... At least it'll buy some time..." She waved her hand towards the zombies promoting the summoned griffin to start attacking the horde as she turned to the Rank 2 "Get in and get out of here, i'll finish up here"

"No! This is my mission! I gotta finish it!" He protested

Lady Luck sighed for the umpteenth time "Kid what are you going to do with a combat knife? Give up"

He clearly wanted to argue further but he got in any way. Lady Luck waved for the heli to head back and it did, whoever as it took off the Rank 2 looked out the window to see Lady Luck aiming at the horde, she pulled the trigger and in front of the revolver was the Joker.

The Rank 2 could see Lady Luck's mouth move as if she was saying something like 'God damn it' before the heli turned and broke the line of sight. Soon the windows were encompassed with a bright white energy that looked a lot like pure magic, luckily the heli was already far enough away from what ever was happening down there that the heli could correct for the sudden push and leave
