Chapter 30 - Rivalry

Teen Zombie Princess loomed over her master, friend, and the brothers.

Pepe stared at her in awe. His rival was now a part of the zombie army.

Stark, Matteo, and Hafen recognized her as the powerful girl of the forest.

Old Man Blacksmith was ashamed, and he questioned her what she was doing.

Teen Zombie Princess explained that she left Old Man Blacksmith's Mancave.

General Bobby's army reloaded.

Teen Zombie Princess muttered that she was hoping to leave with no resistance.

Just then, Pepe stood in front of Teen Zombie Princess and waved for the attention of the military.

Teen Zombie Princess asked him what he was doing.

The brothers wondered the same thing.

Pepe called out for General Bobby, and he exclaimed for him to not shoot.

Multiple zombies pleaded for Teen Zombie Princess to head inside.

Teen Zombie Princess ignored them and suggested Pepe to move.

At the same time, the three brothers prepared to fight.

Old Man Blacksmith turned to the military and ordered the brothers to wait.

General Bobby saw Pepe and seized fire. He ordered Pepe to move aside.

However, Pepe stood his ground. He exclaimed that Teen Zombie Princess was his friend and rival. He asked if he could be the only one to fight her, so they could move on with their plan.

General Bobby narrowed his eyes. He retorted that they were dealing with one of the commanders.

Pepe assured that he could handle it.

General Bobby relented under one condition. He insisted that the three brothers would at least help.

Pepe obliged.

General Bobby ordered his army to push inside Zombie Land, and they charged.

Teen Zombie Princess was wary.

The zombies' cannons shot from the top of the cliff.

The soldiers went around Teen Zombie Princess and Pepe. They retaliated and headed inside.

General Bobby ordered the soldiers to storm the entrance.

The zombies followed behind them.

The three brothers recognized that Teen Zombie Princess ignored the military. They were confused, and Matteo asked Old Man Blacksmith if Teen Zombie Princess was going to stop the General Bobby's army.

Old Man Blacksmith looked at his two apprentices.

The two rivals stared at each other in anticipation.

Old Man Blacksmith remarked that they were ready for their final decisive battle, but that they would have to wait until the war ends. He ordered the brothers to help Pepe capture Teen Zombie Princess. He headed inside and declared that he would knock some sense into Zombie King.

Hafen, Stark, and Matteo nodded and ran towards Pepe. They stopped in front of him.

Pepe suggested them to head inside with Old Man Blacksmith.

Stark muttered that they were going to help him capture the princess.

Pepe reassured that he was capable of that by himself.

Hafen intervened that their master commanded them to help him.

Matteo reminded that General Bobby requested for the same thing.

Hesitant, Pepe sighed and warned that they had to have their guards up.

Teen Zombie Princess interrupted that they have overestimated her, so she would not hold back.

The three brothers took out their swords.

Just then, Teen Zombie Princess walked towards them. She quickly drew out a giant dagger.

Pepe clenched his teeth and explained that she could control anything made out of metal.

Matteo blinked and remarked that their weapons were made out of metal.

Suddenly, the three brothers felt their weapons being pulled from them. They tightly gripped their weapons while pulling back.

Teen Zombie Princess threw her dagger horizontally.

It spun towards them.

Vines came out of Pepe's arms and wrapped around each of the brothers.

Pepe pulled the brothers out of the trajectory of the dagger.

The dagger crashed into the ground.

The brothers thanked Pepe, and Hafen muttered that their weapons were going to be useless in this fight.

Teen Zombie Princess was surprised. She inquired when Pepe mastered the elemental spear.

Pepe questioned what she meant.

Teen Zombie Princess interrogated what happened to his elemental spear.

As he lowered the brothers to the ground, Pepe responded that he lost it in a battle with Zombie Queen.

Hafen asked if she knew something about that.

Teen Zombie Princess elaborated that mastering an elemental weapon allows the wielder to employ the weapon's techniques without the need of the weapon. She continued that it was how she could control anything made out of metal.

Suddenly, the artillery by the entrance of Zombie Land moved on its own. It aimed towards Pepe and the three brothers.

Teen Zombie Princess pointed her hand at them and declared that she would show them her mastery.

Pepe yelled for the brothers to get behind him.

The three brothers sprinted behind him.

In the open battlefield, Hafen uttered that there was no cover.

Pepe reassured that he would create one. He touched the ground with his hands. He muttered that he called this technique Rock Wall.

Pieces of the ground rose and surrounded Pepe and the brothers as the artillery bombarded them. Smoke covered the battlefield.

Teen Zombie Princess sensed the brothers in the smoke.

Matteo sprinted out of the smoke which caught Teen Zombie Princess off-guard. She reached for her dagger.

The dagger rose off the ground and floated towards her. She grasped the dagger and threw it towards Matteo.

Matteo easily dodged it. He sprinted in circles around her.

Teen Zombie Princess realized how fast he was, and she struggled to keep track of him.

In the smoke, Hafen explained that as long as they were close to her, she won't be able to shoot them carelessly.

Even so, Teen Zombie Princess realized a pattern in Matteo's movements. She crouched and swung her arm towards Matteo. Her swing created a gust of wind that blew over the smoke, and the gust of wind slammed Matteo into the ground.

Hafen muttered that once she was distracted, she would be more vulnerable to other attacks.

Out of nowhere, Stark jumped out of the smoke and yelled. He threw multiple punches towards the princess' face.

Teen Zombie Princess reacted and blocked the punches with her other hand.

Stark's punches pushed back Teen Zombie Princess' arm, and he threw another punch at full power.

Teen Zombie Princess tried to stop Stark's onslaught by controlling his weapons. However, she could not and realized that Stark left his weapons on the ground with Pepe and Hafen.

Stark landed his punch to her face.

Teen Zombie Princess fell to the ground.

As she hit the ground, Hafen splashed the princess with water and electrified her.

Then, Pepe wrapped her limbs with vines.

Teen Zombie Princess was paralyzed. She slowly lost consciousness.

Just then, dozens of zombies rushed, out of the base, towards them. The zombies were traumatized to see their princess injured, and they tried to take the vines off her.

Pepe handed the brothers their elemental weapons and exclaimed at them to fight the zombies away.

As Matteo stood back up, they fought the zombies. 

Was Teen Zombie Princess defeated? Would the zombies buy enough time for her to recover and get away?
