Round 5- Twisted Blessings vs Straight Curses

Announcement from the Admin: Sorry if this Round is shorter than the others I've been busy with work. Rest assured I'll revise it as soon as possible. For now please continue enjoying my story.

<The scene opens to stokes reloading his gun as the roots start to spread from his hands up to the pistol> Stokes looks at the ninjas and says "So gonna show me your faces or gonna try and keep the little autonomy you still have?" he asks smirking as he aims the gun at the gorilla body individual suspecting their Taboo is some kind of physical enhancement, he's not the best against those types and something tells him these guys are much more seasoned then any other Taboo user, the only reason he won against the other was one of or multiple reasons: novice Taboo user who hasn't fully practiced their Taboo, or they weren't expecting a Taboo User still capable of fighting; either way the fight or two to one. Stokes looks around and sees the zombies knowing gunfire would draw them in like his engagement with the other one he holsters his gun & reaches and grabs a large wrench and the roots spread into it, he points the wrench at the two as the drones flew into the warehouse without Stokes noticing or knowing; he then says "So surrender or get a dance with the Devil?" He says as a zombie tried grabbing Stokes but instead Stokes whacked its head off with the wrench, he can't just solely focus on those two he has to be cautious of the zombies from Zero, 'the longer that freak is loose the more danger it posses to everyone.' Stokes thinks to himself; but he keeps that determined grin on his face and then says "What a better place to dance with death then surrounded by it! And also the best tools crafted by man to bring death?!" He yells as he takes the initiative and jumps at the two he aims at the gorilla ninja since he can't compete with the Gorilla-Ninja physically, as he was about to deal the blow, when suddenly material that seems like bandages wrapped around Stokes' body & the wrench he looks at the corner of his eye and sees the mummy is using their bandages as weapons; under the wrappings were burn and countless other wounds they must've obtained in their life & but despite all the scares what caught his eye the most was a strange tattoo on their arm, his eyes widen he said "I-impossible!" He was swung around crashing into other zombies before hitting the steel wall and then slammed into a tank, he lays on the ground groaning as he tries getting up. He looks at the mummy and grits his teeth, "I thought you were dead after the mission in Afghanistan." He says as he painfully stood up coughing blood, he's trying to act tough but all the cuts from the wire sword taboo user, and using his Taboo and cracked multiple ribs when being swung around. Despite how trying to make conversation the mummy remained silent along with their partner (the gorilla ninja) turned and left the building. Stokes tried to pursue them but fell to the ground bleeding, he tried to get up but the injuries started to hit him as the adrenaline rush started to wear-off; and fell to the ground and slowly lost his consciousness and in the distance he saw zombies being shot by what sounded like distant gunfire & metal footsteps. <Stokes slowly drifts off into the warm embrace of darkness, the scene ends with Stokes surrounded by his blood, and death a place worthy of a tired soul who's lived for nothing but conflict & combat>
