Chapter 20 - Gluttony

Matteo, Stark, and Hafen, in their attempt to save the people from the zombies, prepared against Baby Zombie Princess and her forces.

Hafen pointed his sword at Baby Zombie Princess. He declared that they would fulfill their mission.

The three brothers charged towards the intersection.

A few zombies attacked them.

Stark shot a couple of them with his elemental gun.

Hafen sliced one of them in half with his elemental katana. Afterwards, he shocked another zombie with lightning.

Simultaneously, Matteo rapidly evaded, stabbed, and shot multiple zombies.

Baby Zombie Princess and more of her zombies approached the brothers, and the brothers prepared for a rematch. 

A while ago, when they rested in the grassland, Hafen, Matteo, and Stark devised a plan to defeat Baby Zombie Princess.

Hafen mentioned that their main threat was Zombie Queen intervening. He suggested that he would hold off the zombies, and Stark and Matteo would defeat Baby Zombie Princess without alerting Zombie Queen.

Stark and Matteo understood the plan.

Now, it was time to execute it. 

In the street intersection, Baby Zombie Princess confidently stood. She noticed the brothers. She snarled that she was going to gobble them up. She roared and declared her vengeance. She lunged at Stark.

Stark successfully rolled to the side. He flanked Baby Zombie Princess with multiple laser shots.

The lasers pierced through Baby Zombie Princess with ferocity.

Baby Zombie Princess shrieked in pain. She lunged again. She missed and hit her head on the ground hard enough to create a crater.

At the same time, dozens of zombies rushed in to aid their leader.

Hafen noticed canisters of fuel on the other side of the street. He smirked and used Telekinesis to take out a couple of fuel canisters. He brought them to the center of the rampaging zombies.

Matteo held them off.

Hafen prepared his gun. He demanded Matteo to get out of the way.

Matteo backed off.

Hafen unleashed a shot of fire from his elemental gun.

The fuel canisters exploded, burning any zombies nearby. Blood, burnt body parts, and metal shards flew out of the explosion. Smoke scattered and engulfed the battlefield.

Stark lost sight of Baby Zombie Princess. He asked Matteo for his help.

Matteo found her and alerted Stark.

Noticing the opportunity, Stark used his elemental great sword to create vines and wrapped them around her.

Baby Zombie Princess growled and bit through the vine near her mouth. She clawed the other vines around her body. She broke out of the entrapment. Her fangs and claws glowed with energy.

Stark was surprised.

Baby Zombie Princess lunged and pinned him to the ground. She roared and drooled. She leaned closer to eat him.

Stark winced and struggled to hold her off. He called for help.

In an instant, Matteo rushed in and stabbed her in the back with his rapier.

The flames burned her, and they spread to her limbs.

Baby Zombie Princess jumped around and cried out.

Matteo held onto her and repeatedly stabbed her back. He grunted as he burned himself.

Stark ran and punched her in the face. He urged her to shut up.

Baby Zombie Princess tumbled back and frowned.

Matteo fell off.

Delirious and injured, Baby Zombie Princess ate a nearby corpse and sniffled.

Stark and Matteo, ready to finish the fight, pointed their weapons at her.

This time, Stark wrapped vines, filled with thorns, around her.

Baby Zombie Princess struggled to get up as the vines constricted. She flailed her freed arms and cried for her older brother to help. She looked at her brother, who approached the battlefield.

Her brother was a giant male zombie. He also wore a crown, and he carried a zombie in his hand. His black hair was swept to the side, and his clothes were royal but edgy. His pointy ears flared out.

Hafen looked at him and speculated his evil intentions. Still, he did not expect what happened next.

To both of their surprise, Baby Zombie Princess' brother muttered that he did not feel like helping her, and he ordered her to die quickly. He continued that he did not want to continue babysitting her because it was so lame.

Shocked by the betrayal, Baby Zombie Princess was about cry for Zombie Queen as her body was being crushed by Stark's vines.

However, Matteo, with his sword, had created a rock that was big enough to stuff her mouth, so he did.

Baby Zombie Princess mumbled and struggled. Tears of blood flowed down her cheeks. 

Meanwhile, Zombie Queen was resting in a dark room. She smiled and hummed a sweet song as she wrote on a book. It looked like a diary.

Zombie Queen wrote that she was happy, and her love was by her side. She added that soon, they would finally live a normal family life.

Still, Zombie Queen had an eerie feeling like something was not right. She wondered how Baby Zombie Princess was doing.

Baby Zombie Prince was dead, and success was necessary. With Little Tree City destroyed, General Bobby's capital, Sillisos City, would be at their fingertips.

At the same time, a zombie walked into the room and informed her that Zombie King had returned.

Zombie Queen excitedly jumped out of her chair.
