The zombie monstrosity charged at them head first on all fours, roaring with its large bloody mouth. The beast caused tremors as it charged, shaking the ground underneath the two warrior's feet. Yori and Hotaru attempted to run from the charge. The undead monster, launching itself by pounding the ground with its gigantic hands, quickly closed the distance like a speeding semi, its mouth open and oozing with blood. It chomped at the air as the two warriors desperately weaved out of the way of its grabs and chomping mouth. Hotaru threw fireballs behind her; some had hit its torso, but the charge of the beast remained unhindered, plowing through pillars of stone like they were nothing. A putrid stink emanated from where the fire hissed against oozy flesh. The hulking monster smashed the ground again, causing an additional tremor that caused Hotaru to stumble. It was enough for the beast to get a grip on Hotaru, who instinctively lit up as a pillar of flame, immediately searing the bulbous flesh around her. The beast waved her around in the air, then smashed her repeatedly on the ground in an attempt to put out the flame, still keeping its grip strong with the remaining muscles still attached to its bones.
Yori made a quick stop turn, and drew his blade. He charged at the beast and watched as Hotaru squirmed against the grip which started to crush her again. Her fire was burning at the flesh, but the yellow pus that comprised the flesh was starting to reform quicker than the rate in which she could burn it - regeneration! Yori ducked under the large creature's reaching hand, making an upward slash, severing the zombie's clenching hand from its body. Hotaru, however, continued to wrangle with the severed arm, as the stub of the cut also started to grow, forming already part of a new shoulder and torso. The zombie turned its attention to Yori now, who after his pass had his back turned. The original zombie beast's remaining part of his arm built up pus at its shoulder and by clenching its chest, shot the bundle of yellow pus as though its stubby arm had been converted into a rocket launcher. It hit right at Yori's back, and Yori fell. He rolled into a kneeling position as the beast charged at Yori. There was no running this time.
There was still injustice in this world. Yori had been sent back in time for a purpose. Now all that he had done was starting to unravel. He had saved the life of an enemy, and was trying to do so again. He understood the why beyond letting emotions get the better of him. He thought of Yoko, who had betrayed him, but who had also been redeemed, then of himself, once the right hand man of a corrupt organization. He refused to die again, not until the monster known as Fury had been defeated. In a cry of rage Yori slashed at the charging undead beast with both its arms outstretched to grab him; parts of the arms fell to the ground like slabs of stone. His sword glowed in white light as it pierced the head clean through its open mouth. The body collapsed, and subsequently crumbled to dust. Before the head of the second flesh golem could fully form a head, Yori charged to stab it, and it too crumbled to dust.
"I had it under control." said Hotaru coyly, wiping off stinky steaming zombie flesh from her arms and legs. She let the fire burn from within her to "pop" back into position the metal that had been squeezed by the undead monster, much like a boiler room tank that had dimples on the surface.
Yori waved out the light of his sword as though it was a flame, but knew it wasn't a flame. It had been the blessing of his sword that saved his life.
"You're probably right." Yori replied. Hotaru was no damsel in distress. The encounter might have driven her to reach that Unstoppable Force form for which she had no conscious control.
"You're damn right I'm right!" Hotaru rebuked.
"Next time I'll let you handle it." Yori scoffed.
"I'm only keeping you alive as fodder; you know that right? The Crypt is a meat grinder. Just don't get in my way."
"I won't."
"Good."
"Good!"
