Without much thought, Carol popped a couple of shots into the infected with the big arm. The monster used its arm like a shield and took the brunt of the damage.
"You've gotta be kidding me," Carol muttered under her breath. The creature did not seem entirely too intelligent as it took a long moment to wave its big arm around to smack away a few of the more common infected swarming around it.
"Don't let it get too close!" Carol warned.
Elle's screams turned to whimpers as she observed the magical barrier erected around herself and Claire. The older woman squeezed her hand and let out a heavy breath. Claire winced, feeling sweat roll down her forehead and into her eye. This situation was as dire as she could have imagined. She had to hand it to Ellis and his friends for managing to survive in a world as harsh as this one.
"Just hold on, Elle," she said to the little girl.
"My... Um, Aqua is thinning the herd for us."
Junko could not sit still. She could feel a pain running down her side from the fall, but it felt strangely distant in her current haze. She let out a pained, bitter laugh as she wiggled out of Honda's grasp and grabbed Ellis' shotgun from him.
"That bastard's gonna pay for fucking up my nails!" she screamed before making a rabid leap for the RV door that was now above them.
Junko shimmed her torso up and out of the RV. She looked down at the rampaging Charger with hate in her eyes.
"Leave us the fuck alone!" With that, Junko pulled the trigger. The recoil slammed the gun back into her stomach and she toppled over the side of the RV with a yelp. As for the Charger, it yelled out in pain, sounding almost human-like as its blood splattered across the pavement. It still staggered on its feet however and looked ready to charge at the bubble around Elle and Claire. Junko grit her teeth and got to her feet, steeling herself to fire one more shot into the Charger so that it fell to the ground, finally dead.
The stragglers nearby were finished off by Aqua's magic and a few shots from Carol. Junko let out an animalistic cry of victory and raised Ellis' shotgun above her head.
It was then that a bullet was fired into the RV right next to Junko, causing her to jump. "Put that down now, little missy," said a male voice.
Junko's eyes went wide as she stared at a burly blond man aiming a rifle at her. She quickly complied and dropped the shotgun on the ground. The barrier around Claire then dissipated and she pulled Elle closer to her. She eyed other men stepping out to stand next to the man, most of them armed with guns. There had to be at least six of them by her count. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Carol hiding behind the RV, having apparently the noticed the men before any of them.
The blond man, who Claire unconsciously called Blondie in her head, nodded to the RV. "Looks like you've had a bit of trouble. We'll take your ride off your hands. Your guns too, if you don't mind."
