An Unexpected Turn of Events(4)

Now standing in front of the door of House Beneviento, Rodeo proceeded to knock on the door, expecting a response, but after moments of silence, no one came. 

"Donna? Angie? Are you there?" Rodeo yelled, trying to open the door, but to his surprise it was already open, which he expected to be locked...

Something isn't right. 

Dual wielding his sawed-off shotguns in his hands, Rodeo stepped forward.

"Here we go yet again."

Placing his hands on the wooden double front doors of the house, the doors swung open slowly, allowing Rodeo to step inside and find the lights were out. 

Moving around the house with his shotguns ready and finger on the trigger, Rodeo noticed that some of the dolls laying around the house were destroyed with their shattered pieces scattered all over the place.

Despite his extensive search of the first floor dwelling, Angie & Donna were nowhere to be found, but there were some scratches and blood stains on the wall and floor. A feeling of concern began to increase greatly, but Rodeo immediately shook his head and inspected the blood.

Much to his relief, the blood appeared to be black in color, implying that it belonged to a Dark Aether zombie. After realizing it wasn't Donna's, Rodeo decided to head for the room that leads to the Well.

When he entered the room, he discovered that the secret door to the Well had been destroyed. Perhaps someone with a powerful weapon may have blasted straight through it, and Rodeo knew who done it.

"Manglers."

Rodeo, now more cautious and serious about this, walks towards the Well's entrance and heads down the stairs to reach the bottom of it and find that the circular shaped rock he had left on the well to keep it shut had been removed and shredded. 

'Count to four inhales.'  

Once he started counting, Rodeo deeply inhaled a considerable amount of breath and held it for a moment.

'Count to four exhales.' 

Holding his breath for nearly four seconds, he softly exhaled and let out all of the air from him.

"...Okay. Now look down the well."

With a solemn gaze, Rodeo approaches the well and looks down at the bottom...  

Upon gazing down, what Rodeo met was a large number of dark aether zombies at the bottom of the well, all of whom were staring at him with their orange flashing eyes.

"...Biscuits."

"""""RAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"""""

Immediately, Rodeo brings out Sheer Heart Attack and grabs him with both hands before yeeting it into the Well, thus blowing up all of the zombies up in an instant.

When Rodeo calls it back, without wasting time, he rushes back upstairs and hurriedly seals the secret entrance to the well with numerous heavy pieces of furniture in case they attempt to break out.

"Phew."

"Ahhh…!"

Rodeo froze in his position when he heard a scream no doubt coming from the upper floor of the house. So he immediately stormed out of the room and headed down the corridor to reach Donna and Angie as fast as he possibly could to reach to Donna and Angie, until he came upon a number of zombies wandering aimlessly in the halls. 

"?"

The Dark Aether zombies all noticed Rodeo in front of them and were about to attack, only to have their head blown into a bloody pulp by Rodeo with his dual shotgun as he pushes their headless bodies aside and heads upstairs to the upper floor. When he arrived upstairs, he went along the corridors, only to encounter more zombies in his way. 

All of the zombies aggressively ran towards him, but Rodeo immediately karate chops two of their heads off before grabbing one zombie and turning him into a bomb and flinging him at the remaining seven.

"Switch on!"

Bringing his thumb down on the button on his hand, the zombie exploded, killing the last seven of them. Shortly after killing the zombies, Rodeo made a right turn in the halls and saw two Manglers attempting to break into a room by stabbing the door with their sickles and kicking it open, but to no avail since someone on the other side was blocking the door with something. 

"We. Blast. Open. Door?"

"Da."

Pointing their arm shockwave cannons at the door, the two Manglers were ready to blast it open, until they instantly got their heads blasted into pieces by Rodeo's dual shotguns as he stood behind them without them noticing. 

"They didn't see it coming." Rodeo commented as he watched the two Manglers' headless bodies go limp before approaching the door and knocked on it. "Donna? Angie? It's me, Rodeo. It's safe right now, you're not endangered anymore."

Not long after, Rodeo heard the sound of furniture being shuffled from the other side of the door, which soon opened and Rodeo was promptly tackled into an embrace by Donna and Angie. Feeling relief that they were safe, Rodeo hugged them both for he could feel that they were scared and afraid. 

"We're so glad you're here. The dark aether zombies... t-they broke into the house through the Well and we couldn't do anything." Donna sobbed with fear and worry in her voice, tears streaming from her left eye. "We tried to distract them with the dolls, but those cannon-wielding zombies destroyed them, and we tried to call the others, but we couldn't do it... since they all broke in and me and Angie had to hide."

"Hey, it's alright," Rodeo said softly, "You two are safe, and that's all that matters."

"We might have a problem!"

Just then, they all heard Angie's cry, Rodeo and Donna peering over the corridor and saw a Krasny Soldat approaching them with a furious look.

"Stay behind me you two."

The two did as he said and stayed behind Rodeo as he silently glared at the Krasny Soldat, which activated its jetpack and launched itself towards Rodeo at shocking speed, but the latter quickly reeled one of his arms and made the golden plated skull on his hand glow in a purple hue, causing the air around his fist to twist.

When the Krasny Soldat came close enough, he clenched his fist strongly and immediately punched out, causing an earth-shattering explosion that obliterated the entire top half of the Krasny Soldat's body and armor, killing him instantaneously and rendering his lower body limp.

"Follow me."

Wielding his dual shotguns once more, the three headed down the corridor and made a right turn, only to encounter three more zombies in their way, which Rodeo had already blasted all three of their heads off with his shotguns, killing them. 

The minutes that followed were spent roaming around the endless halls, with Rodeo slaying every zombie in his path with Donna and Angie trailing behind. Until then, the three came to a halt when they spotted ten more zombies running up the stairs, which they needed to head to the lower floor. 

"They never stop don't they?" Rodeo muttered in irritation as he kicked one of the zombies that came too close, causing that zombie to collide with the other nine zombies, sending them all falling down the stairs and hitting rock bottom.

Immediately, Rodeo brings out ten leu coins and converts them into bombs before throwing them at the zombies that had fallen down the stairs.

"Yimada!"

With a clicking noise that reverberated throughout the halls, the coins exploded on the zombies' faces, annihilating them all into atoms. Once they were dealt with, the three walked down the stairs and reached the lower floor to find their way out.

Before they could reach for the door, a Mangler came bursting out of the wall to their right, startling the three which gave the Mangler an opportunity to strike his sickle at Rodeo's head until Donna hastily pushed Rodeo out of the way and the sickle punctured her arm. She screamed out in pain, and then the Mangler flung her into a wall and crashed into it, knocking her unconscious as a result.

"Donna!" Rodeo and Angie shouted.

With an intense look, Rodeo sprang up fast but was immediately punched in the face by another Mangler and dropped on the floor. Rodeo didn't get a chance to stand up again when he got surrounded by four more Manglers as they started punching and kicking his face and body mercilessly. 

Angie quickly rushed over and stood next to the unconscious Donna, urgently attempting to wake her up. At that moment, she noticed the same Mangler who had stabbed Donna's arm approaching them with murderous intent. 

"You. All. Will. Be. Annihilated."

Rodeo, as he was being beaten up by the group of Manglers, he spotted the Mangler that stabbed Donna's arm approaching her and Angie from a corner of his eyes. At that moment, he started having flashbacks again to the crash, the Vegas incident, the countless people he saw dead all over the streets, and the ones who died in D4C's Site-17 attack.

Speaking about D4C, Rodeo could see him looking down on him before slowly walking away. More flashes appeared, depicting a wider range of incidents ranging from the worse to the excruciating ones that Rodeo would rather forget.

As he was continuously being beaten up by the Manglers, a statement was whispered through his head. 

"You are no hero. Just a chaos bringer." 

Upon hearing this, Rodeo's palm curled into a tight fist as a purplish hue began to radiate from his body, causing the pressure around him to gradually intensify.

Surprisingly, for the first time since becoming Killer Queen, Rodeo gently closed his eyes, and the hue that had revolved around his body began to shrink as the Manglers continued beating him up. The Mangler, who had been pursuing the two was now right in front of Angie and the unconscious Donna, raised his arm with his sickle ready and deeply muttered.

"Eliminate. All. Who. Stand." 

"HEEEEEEEELP!"

The silence continued for what seemed to be an eternity as a stifling and suffocating atmosphere permeated every corner of the house.

"...I'm gonna kill them all."

Shortly after, Rodeo's eyes opened and a tremendous power was released from his body, altering the atmosphere even more menacingly.

The four Manglers that were still beating up Rodeo were instantly got their heads blasted by a pair of shotguns. Once all of his enemies had fallen, Rodeo sprang right up, cocking both guns simultaneously and raced to the Mangler that was about to attack Donna and Angie, only to get one of his hands completely blasted from Rodeo's shotguns. 

The Mangler screamed in agony. In complete rage, it was about to fire his cannon at Rodeo when the latter slashed his head down with full force, severing his head along with his entire body in half vertically with his bare hands alone.

Feeling incredibly stunned, Angie watches as both halves of the Mangler's corpse collapsed and went limp on the floor. 

And she felt it, the dangerous killing intent radiating from Rodeo's body, as did his menacing glowing red eyes.

"ゴ ゴ ゴ ゴ ゴ ゴ ゴ ゴ ゴ" 

"R-R-Rodeo?" Angie asked in a frightened tone.

Staring at Angie and the unconscious Donna, Rodeo instantly grabbed the two and dragged them outside the house before dropping them on the ground and returning to the house.

"Rodeo, why are you going back inside?!" Angie exclaimed.

"...To have a very enthusiastic walk."

Saying in a deadly yet menacing tone, Rodeo entered the house, brought out his shotguns and locked the door behind him before turning to face the dark aether zombies that were approaching him. 

"Hey guys, how's life treating you?"

"RAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

With horrifying roars, all of the zombies lunged at him. 

"APPARENTLY IT'S FUCKING GREAT!" 

Like a true gunslinger, Rodeo began firing every fucking zombie that came towards him without restraint with his double-barrel shotguns, dual wielding them and ensuring that every shot was a headshot. Seeing a Krasny Soldat behind the zombie lines, Rodeo dashes towards him and slices the heads off any zombies that come in his way. 

The Krasny Soldat fired a salvo of grenades from his arm grenade launcher at him, but Rodeo swiftly grabbed all the grenades in the air and tossed them at each zombie, exploding on their faces and killing them. 

As Rodeo was close to the Krasny Soldat, he swiftly slid between his legs and went behind the Krasny soldat before shooting the fuel tanks on his back with his shotguns, causing the fuel tanks to explode. As a result, most of Krasny Soldat's armor broke apart and exposed his head. 

Without hesitation, Rodeo jumped at the Krasny Soldat then grabbed his head and ripped it off his body before smashing it between his fists, and the Krasny Soldat went limp. 

Soon after, more zombies, Manglers, Krasny Soldats and Tempests arrived on the scene to take down one man when suddenly, they all stopped as they sensed the deadly yet menacing aura emanating from him. 

"Ain't no one gonna walk out of this house... alive!" 

With eyes filled with a great amount of murderous intent, Rodeo rushed at the zombies as a vast swarm of them charged at him like a tsunami. Even in the face of nearly a hundred of them, Rodeo isn't insane enough to do so as he instead called out Sheer Heart Attack.

In mere seconds, the RC vehicle of Death began blowing up dozens of them, while Rodeo, in a mad rage, continued on blasting, ripping, and tearing his way through the horde with the music playing and keeping the zombies eternally dead... since they are already dead to begin with. 

"Hahahahahaha! Cry some more!"

——————————————————————

Outside the house, Angie was desperately trying to open the door because she wanted to stop Rodeo since he couldn't fight all of them by himself. 

"Let me in! LET ME INNNNNNNNNNNNN!" 

Angie then heard a grunt and turned around to see Donna had woken up. As she rubbed the back of her head, Angie immediately leapt up and hugged her.

"Angie... What happened? Why are we outside of the house?" Donna cluelessly asks, and grunts, "My right arm hurts."

"Rodeo's inside the house fighting the zombie horde by himself."

"What!?" 

Angie and Donna immediately knocked on the door continuously and yelled out Rodeo's name, but all they heard were nothing but zombie growls, shotgun fire, a huge load of explosions, and Rodeo saying lines like.

"Kar en tuk! Kar en tuk!"

"What is he saying?" Angie wondered.

"Rodeo! You can't fight them alone!" Donna cried. But she received no response from him, "Please Rodeo, don't die on us alone." She says as she falls to her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"We need to head back to the village and get help, we can't do anything like this." Angie remarked, but then she noticed Donna standing up and went to one of the windows.

Shattered!

Donna shattered one of the windows with her elbow and by using her powers to manipulate the hallucination flowers outside her house, she sent the pollens from the flowers inside through the broken window, putting the zombies who weren't immune to the pollen in a hallucination state, and since Rodeo was immune to it, it will at least give him a more easier time to deal with them since most of the zombies will be distracted by the hallucinations. 

"Now, let's go."

The two quickly rush to the village to get help as the battle within the house carries on, with the G-man watching from a certain distance, standing next to a tree outside of House Beneviento. 

*Music Stop*

——————————————————————

Almost ten minutes later, Donna and Angie finally returned accompanied with Karl and Alcina as backup. As they arrived at the house, they heard no more gunfire or anything coming from inside.

The four were about to approach the door when it suddenly opened and Rodeo emerged, still holding his shotguns in his hands, but they noticed that most, if not half of his body was covered in blood stains from the zombies he killed, and his shotguns painted in complete red. 

Rodeo approached them slowly, while the four lords stared at him in disbelief, Rodeo collapses on his knees and drops his shotguns as his strength is gradually fading. Donna knelt in front of him to check on him.

"Rodeo? Are you hurt?"

"Guts! Huge guts! Must kill them all!" Rodeo said while stuck in his rage state.

"He's lost it." Karl muttered as he readied his hammer, "Sorry kid, gotta knock you out."

"MUST RIP & TEAR!"

Bonk!  

Karl bonked the back of Rodeo in the back of his head with his hammer, knocking him out and the glow in his eyes faded away. 

"That wasn't necessary!" Alcina shouted.

"What? And let the kid be in that rage with a high possibility of him killing us in that state?"

Alcina wanted to say something but did not since he was right. The way Rodeo was and the tone of his voice showed nothing but rage, and rage can cause anyone to act recklessly without the person in that state realizing it. So Karl understood exactly what he needed to do. 

"No, you're right," Alcina sighed, "But I'm taking him to Mother Miranda for a check-up in case he suffers any injuries."

"Fine, but I'll go inside the house to check for any stragglers," Karl said, slinging his hammer over his shoulder before making his way into the house, "If there are any left." he added.

Alcina gives out a nod as she along with Donna & Angie take the unconscious Rodeo to Miranda's makeshift lab.

Meanwhile, Karl walked into the house and saw... a huge load of zombie corpses lying everywhere, with most of the walls and floors covered in zombies' blood and body parts with most of them seeming to have been ripped and torn with ease. 

"Jesus, the kid really showed them," Karl commented, "What was he trying to do? Get a zombie kill of the week or something?"

(Author: *Zombieland Intensifies*)

At that moment, Karl noticed a zombie crawling towards him since the legs of the zombie were completely destroyed, hence why it was crawling towards him. 

"Raaaaaahhhhh!"

"Shut your fucking mouth!"

Raising his hammer above, Karl immediately brought it down and smashed the zombie's head, blood splattering around and part of it hitting his trench coat.

Karl wiped the blood in his cloth with a disgusted look before continuing his search for any zombie stragglers inside House Beneviento. 

——————————————————————

The Leader of the Council of the Crows, the supervisor that led the multiverses' bizzare group of individuals...

…was busy watching Scary movie 1 on his 70-inch plasma widescreen TV in his room, laughing his ass off on the film's funniest scenes.

"Hahahahahahaha! This movie is still as hilarious as ever!"

Just then, the room of his door got brutally spartan kicked open, and the Leader jerked his head to see it was his friend, Alex, who had a look of disapproval in his face.

"..."

"._."

"..."

":/  *pauses movie*"

"..."

"What's up?"

"I'll tell you what's up, sir. The fact you threw the stone mask into the SCP universe wasn't bad enough, I'm just curious what other items from Jojo you sent into the SCP universe."

"...I sent all the items from JoJo in the SCP universe except the Rokaka fruits." Leader stated with a calm smile.

Alex's eyes widened as he realized something, "Wait, does that mean that it's there as well? The one that can make D4C more powerful than ever before?"

The Leader merely nodded, "Yep."

"Do you want to make more problems for them?!"

"Alex, you have every right to judge my choices, but believe me I know what I'm doing. You have to trust me on this."

"...Yes, sir." Alex acknowledged, sighing deeply, "Also, we found out that G-man has taken an interest in Rodeo. Shouldn't that worry you?"

"Alex, that guy and his motivations are a mystery that no one from the half-life community has yet to understand, I could deal with him myself but I can't because we Crows will remain neutral in this story we are in, but if a threat that levels dangerously than a normal multiversal threat appears, we will take action, but that time has yet to come, so we'll just wait and see."

"Got it, and the Forsaken?"

"Like I said, we'll just wait and see."
