"Mmmph ... buh."
Rawk awoke to the sound of screaming and clashing.
"Gyah!" He shrieked as he jumped to his feet.
There were skeletons ... everywhere! The were all over the streets and buildings, swarming like ants. Rawk looked down at Akiko in amazement at the fact that she was still sleeping. He reached down to wake her up.
"Akiko! GET UP!" Rawk shouted.
She too jumped to her feet with a shriek. Akiko gave Rawk a puzzled look as he stood, gazing down on her. The Loach moved out of Akiko's view. In horror, she gasped. She was about to scream, but Rawk quickly covered her mouth.
"Nuh-uh. Don't make any noise ... maybe they won't notice us." Rawk looked back, "Let's try to get this gate open."
As he walked toward the winch, his foot got caught under a rock and he tripped with a loud grunt.
"Rawk! Rawk!" Akiko shouted, "They're coming this way!"
Two skeletons were running toward Akiko, with their arms flailing and jaws gnashing in a fury of mindless chaos. Rawk quickly got up and dashed toward them in return. His arm was streched behind him and as he encountered one of the skeletons, he flung it over his shoulder and smashed its head into the ground. but by the time Rawk could lift his head, the second skeleton was there, clawing at his face. The Loach roared and fell on his back, and Mr.Bones wasn't too shy to follow. It leaped onto Rawk, reaching for his throat, but Rawk rolled out of the way, lifted his foot in the air, and brought it down like a ton of bricks on the skeleton's spine.
By that time, there were a dozen more undead running Rawk's way. Without looking back, he shouted, "Akiko, hide!"
She obeyed without hesitation and ran behind a thick tree, not too far from where she was standing. She climbed it carefully, as not to be seen, so she could keep an eye on Rawk.
Rawk bent down and picked up one of the skulls. Sharply, he hurled it at one of the mindless beings and nocked its head off. The skeletonswere getting more and more unorganized as they ran toward Rawk; so much that they were tripping over eachother. Rawk saw this as an advantage and began to run toward them as well. When he reached them, he threw his arms in front of him, plowing over a few, trampling them onto the ground. He looked around, in his fighting stance, and found that there were about three more than before. He flung his body, spinning, into the air with is leg streched outward. To of the undead were hit to the ground - one didn't get up. As Rawk landed, he pushed farward, punching and kicking. Soon, he found himself in the middle of a big clufuffle. He ducked, punched, jumped, kicked, ducked, moved to the left, jumped to the right, punched, kicked, kicked ... he was losing energy, and he was doing so very quickly. It wasn't long until he was overwhelmed and Akiko lost sight of him among those fifteen skeletons who were pounding away at something within them.
