A few weeks later, the day starts off as normal, with everyone training, relaxing or in some cases enjoying the open sexual environment the clan is known for. but today, a few clansmen aren't enjoying the atmosphere. Former ATF agent Steven Jinx feels something is off, but his perception isn't no where near that of Logan; with his superhuman hearing and smell, or Agent Peter Lattimer; who has the ability to sense danger through a kind of sixth sense, or vibes as he calls them, or those few that are telepathic like Emma Frost, Jean Grey or Professor Xavier. Jinx's power was as a human lie detector, sensing if someone is lying just by being in proximity to them.
After consulting with everyone he could think of, he felt even worse. An uneasy feeling in his gut and mind made him seek an audience with the king and his advisors. "boss" spoke Agent Jinx nervously from the door to the king's office. Hawke and Shepard were there as well and Lian, Elizabeth, Theresa and Alella, the king's newest acquisition, showed up as well. Agent Jinx let the women in as they out ranked him and he was just a field agent. "What is it Steve?" answered the king. "sir, something's wrong, like "he swallows hard" end of the world wrong.
The advisors looked up and the king became silent, a blank look crossed his face and then he ordered a full lockdown and everyone inside the castle. They clan gathered in the armory and stocked up on supplies and gear. The television in the manager's office was playing the news and warned that several cities have fallen to massive nuclear bombs, with mushroom clouds reaching hundreds of feet high. The castle enters lockdown and steel plates are lowered into place over windows and doors.
The clan wait out the apocalypse and use the time to prepare for the world after. Being supernatural the radiation won't affect anyone except the human slaves but being under the clan's protection they are kept inside. The king orders a check of all supplies and resources, Piper and Michaelangelo return with lists of every item in the larder, and Hou does likewise with the inventory from the bakery and food supply rooms. The armory, infirmary and shops also turn in lists of their inventories. The news gets darker as reports of mutants and corrupted survivors turning into what are being called rad zombies, or ghouls. The Undead taskforce prepare their officers and meet with the other field agents in the war room to discuss plans to combat the new threat.
Captain Dashell meets with the other field officers and team leaders and briefs them on the UTF's knowledge of zombies and the ways to combat them. The shooters and melee fighters are taught hands on on the best ways to destroy a zombie's brains while the mages and witches are instructed to focus their magic attacks on the heads of the zombies. Because the zombies emit radiation though, makes them even more dangerous but the clan prepares for everything and the clan's armor, costumes and robes are being retrofitted with lead lining.
As the clan train and prepare, the perimeter guards say ghouls are nearing the tree line of the property. The remote security systems activate and numerous ghouls are obliterated but the sheer number of them are more than the outer guns can handle. The scouts run back to base and enter through the outside bomb shelter doors. The Normandy is launched and the ship hovers near the tree line, firing the cannons at the ghouls. Some get through and make their way to the castle.
Sniper fire echos as Thane, Garrus, Domino and Gibbs fire upon the ghouls from the rooftops. The mages set up a flame wall to burn several ghouls as they try to cross it. The more durable ghouls get charred but don't die, they shamble through towards the interior gate, just to be met with the king and his strongest fighters. Logan snarls and lashes into the horde claws first, Shepard unleashes bursts of incendiary ammo from her mattock assault rifle and Rayne uses a whirlwind spin move to slice several ghouls to bits in a very short amount of time with her arm blades.
Alella uses her bound bow to pincushion several ghouls and Serana blasts them with ice and lightning spells. Jack and Miranda hold a biotic shield around the children and the students but at the same time shoot numerous ghouls with their pistols and blast them with their biotic powers. Willow, Tara and the Charmed Ones use their magical powers and witchcraft to blast, sear and explode more ghouls. In another portion of the battleground Faith, Spike and Angel engage a large group of ghouls with hand to hand attacks, while the king and his daughter shoot, slice and blast the way through more ghouls near the side of the interior gates.
An offsite fleet of hwachas manned by the mythbusters and the harbingers fire thousands of explosive arrows at the ghouls and those that aren't killed outright by the impalement are blown to pieces when the black powder rockets explode. More ghouls surround Serana and Alella as they defend the assassin trainees. They both use their necromancy to resurrect fallen ghouls to fight along side the clan, confusing the hostile ghouls and making the hostile ones easier targets. A horde of ghouls tries to attack the civilian clan members but a wall of ice and an inferno of flames stop them as Iceman and Pyro block their path, then Sera shoots from the nearest tree taking down as many as she can before retreating to the armory to replenish her arrow supply as Cole dashes and teleports his way through the rest with added assistance from Cassandra, slashing ghouls with her sword and bashing them with her shield, and Iron Bull, as he cleaves through the ghouls with his battle ax. The Inquisition members members then go to defend another checkpoint that's being overrun.
The king pushes through the onslaught of ghouls with guns, magic, claws and blades. Hawke uses force magic to levitate ghouls while impaling one with the bladed end of her staff, then flings the flying ghouls over to Serana, who transforms into a demon bat creature and engulfs the ghouls in a tornado of bats and rips the ghouls to shreds. The templars block the ghouls' swipes with their shields and behead them with their swords. Cullen lets Cole springboard off of his shield and then the spirit teleports through a pair of ghouls and cuts through them with his daggers.
The King orders the archers to defend the students as more ghouls breech the back line. Diana, Alella, Sera and Sebastian cover the left while Varric, Elissa Cousland, and Leliana cover the right. The mages and elemental mutants fight ghouls near the entrance to the lunar garden, trying to prevent them from getting into it. The clan infantry lead by Jane Shepard and Ashley Williams, head to the main gate to defend it as the main horde is close to breeching it. Some start climbing the castle, but Spider-Man, Robin and Beast boy scale or fly up the wall and beat them back before they get to the sniper nests or the penthouse.
In the lab, Abby, Agent McGee, his wife Delilah, Tali, Claudia and Kinzie feverishly try to find the source to the ghouls. The computers and machinery hum and buzz and beep till Abby says she has a clue. The normally chipper gothic forensic scientist gathers her big brain colleagues around the central table to share results. Tali opens the comm channel on her omni tool linked to the king's comm.
Abby reveals that the ghouls all escaped from a nuclear research facility, and all were test subjects. The echo of the king's guns are heard over the comm then the king answers. "McGee, Tali, Claudia, investigate the facility. You may be techs but you're also field agents. GO." The three of them take the cullis gate to the ruins of the city, geared in environmental suits to protect from radiation. The GPS leads them to what's left of a lab and research facility. The team sift through the rubble and find nothing until Tali hears moaning and crying coming from a busted elevator.
McGee pries open the door and Claudia reaches for her tesla pistol but Tali stops her, then helps the traumatized scientist out of the elevator. McGee arrests the scientist as a precaution and escorts her to the cullis gate. She's examined by Dr. Chakwas and Dr. House then escorted to an interrogation room. Dyson and Hale grill her about the experiment and she tells only what she knows. She's left alone as Dyson delivers his report to director Vance. He suggests holding her for the king's court to decide her fate, but as she's waiting for the guards a lone ghoul climbs the castle wall in through the window and attacks her. She's dead before the guards know what has happened.
