"Right. So," Bob started. "Quite a few of these classes have dealt with how to determine what a magical being wants. What to do and not to do when dealing with them. But what do you do if there is no dealing with them? If what they want is you, dead. Or if they simply want to go from here to there, and you're in their way and they'll kill you regardless?"

He shrugged. "Not everything magical is intelligent, after all. So, since you all seem to love the more practical demonstrations," or keep trying to chase them down and tame them, "I thought we'd do that again."

He gestured, and the Danger Shop was suddenly a city, and at the end of the block were a wave of zombies.

In the distance were some large stomping noises. "That'll be the giants," Bob explained.

The shriek something overhead punctuated his words. "Not sure what that is," he added cheerfully. "We never did find out exactly. Enjoy!"

Sorry, students; your teacher has decided to be a little shit today.

Something about the zombies snagged at Kathy's memory. She frowned at the advancing horde for a moment, trying to remember what it was about them that seemed--important. Something about Nick and the Mighty Dragon and LA...?

Shaking her head, she let whatever-it-was go. It wasn't terribly important to the here and now anyway. Not when there were giants and shrieking things and exes and--

Exes? That was a weird way to think about zombies.

Again, though. Didn't matter. She had enemies to take down. She dashed forward into the oncoming wave of rotting bodies, their slow shuffle practically stillness against her innate speed.

Hammer kick. Vault. Spin kick and snap as bones broke beneath the blur of her hands and feet.
