Chapter 10
The Finaru and the Final Battle
The chainsaw tore through one of Razor's clawed gauntlets, and he let out a shrill cry of pain and blood began to leak from within the gnarled metal. The door burst down as Mimic, fully recovered from her last encounter, and Beast rushed in, twin chainsaws roaring and hands cletnched so hard they bled from blunt pressure. Through the window lept Assarai, Popouri, Lillia, and Rick's mysterious killer, along with the old but vigorous man that held the brutal scythe in hand. It was Mary and Basil's killer.
Elli spun to see the intruders, giving time for the sobbing, whimpering Razor to crawl into the cabinet under the sink and try to compose himeself, "Listen here, you man-hunting, blood sucking, ugly bastards. You will kill no more." Elli shouted over the now three chainsaws in the room, "When you first killed Anna, the very first victim, I would never have been able to defend myself against you. But when you killed my husband, strangled Grey, threatened the children, and even slashed apart our pastor, you made me think. If I did nothing, I would be just like everyone you killed. Scared and then dead. Well guess what... It's payback time, you stupid dogs!" Elli screamed and ran the chainsaw straight through the Old Man's scythe, which also served as a sort of cane, forcing him to fall to the ground. She turned to defend herself against Assarai and waved the chainsaw inches from his pale, clam face. He did nothing, said nothing, just dodged the powertool like it was some measly toy.
Mimic and Beast started for the kids and Grey. But, not even before they had reached the bed, they were both banged right in the back of the head by something big, heavy, and metal. They both fell with almost comical groans at the same, revealing May and Stu, each weilding one of Emajuu's tools aquired from the chest in the corner, "That'll teach you to beat up my big brother! And hurt all the villagers!" Stu smacked Beast again.
"Yeah! And for wearing red-brown fishnets with a black maid's costume!" May hit Mimic aswell, "That's just sick."
Stu got onto the bed and shook Grey awake, Grey being the very heavy sleeper that he was, "Come on! We have to get outside!" Grey nodded and got out of bed, following the two kids with the baby in his arms outside to the barn to hide.
Assarai screamed loudly as he backed up andclutched his shoulder as blood poured from where his right arm used to be, "Stupid woman! You bloody wad of flesh! Go to hell!" He screamed and fell to the floor clutching his arm and crying out in pain.
Elli wiped some blood from her face onto her apron, "I swore I would get revenge. And I will or die. But not before taking all of you with me." She swung the chainsaw at the old man, running him through, blood gushing from his massive wound onto her apron as he twitched the last bits of life out of him.
Razor poked hi head out from the cabinet and began to crawl out. His pale blue eyes scanned the area, noting Elli preoccupied with his comrade. He held his left hand close and began to sneak out, but not before a razorblade cut through one of the mysterious burns on the insane killer's back. Razor let out a gasp and turned to fight, but was cut across the face with the razor again. He thrashed his hands about like a fish out of water to protect himself from another cut. He managed to worm himself away from his attacker and run desperately through the door like a wounded dog. Back in the bathroom, Carter breathed in and dropped the razor blade, "Forgive me, Harvest Goddess..." He looked around and grabbed his clothes to get dressed and have a little more protection from the murderers and a breeze.
Elli finally withdrew her chainsaw and looked down at the corpse before turning to see the two that her brother and his friend had knocked unconcious. Both were gone completely. Elli hauled herself outside, now a little more weighed down by her wet dress. As she came outside, she saw herself locked into the stare of the youngest killer, Mimic. Her schoolgirl looks contrasted greatly with the chainsaw in her hand, "You... you killed more than half the village... and my husband. I hate to kill someone so young..."
"That's a weakness you know. Your sympathy will be your undoing."
"It's not sympathy I feel. I feel bad that someone your age could be so wicked, not that you yourself are young." Elli raised her weapon.
"Let's dance then. You choose the music." Mimic cackled in insane joy and turned her saws on, "Go!" Her and Elli made sure thing to keep their weapons away from the other's. One clash could send both relatively small ladies flying in any direction. But Elli made sure that she wasn't overly timid. She thrust the chainsaw through the air, gliding just an inch away from Mimic's nose, making the youth drop one chainsaw into the group where it sputtered and died slowly. Now they more evenly matched, each weilding one weapon.
Carter ran for the broken window that Assarai had crashed through, gently climbing out as to not harm himself and run for the barn for cover. As far as he knew, he only saw one murderer dead, the dark assasin still reeling around on the floor in agony. He stopped to look at Elli, but could do nothing and continued running praying a mile a minute for her safety.
Elli lost her weapon as Mimic's chainsaw his her shoulder for a second cutting it to the bone. She screamed in pain, but stood and kicked the girl in the face, making her lose her weapon as well. Now it was all hand to hand. No way out but to fight like women. Elli lept and tackled her 4'11" opponent, knocking her over. She grabbed the shapeshifter's hair and yanked on it, causing Mimic to wail and retailiate by clawing at Elli's face. Elli got her in a choke hold and rolled a bit to try and stop her, but then both of them caught the glint of something in their eyes. Emajuu's hoe. He left in the field for convienence, and it was probably the quickest way to end the duel. Each girl made attempts to grab at it, but everytime they'd be forced away by the other one. Finally a hand landed on the hoe, and it raised into the air, and crashed with the head of it's target.
The sun had risen again. And everyone was safe. No more murderers. Ever. Elli had come running in to comfort everyone, and stated that all the vicious people who had done this had escaped. She seemed so uneasy that they were still alive, but they were gone. And that's all that counted. The body of the Old Man was tossed into the river, and everyone looked out the the town, "We should start to bury the dead." Carter sighed and looked out over the red mess. It would be tough, but they had to pull through. For Mineral Town. For everyone that lossed their lives. Maybe one day, this memory would be gone, the graves would be the only things remembered, and life would resume. Carter had gotten his older cousin, Tenna, to come over from her hometown to assist with the church, and she would be here with friends any day now to help repair the town. Everything was back to normal.
As everyone watched the sun set, they all began to head inside. Elli remained until everyone was on their way. She smiled and turned to follow everyone, her smirk growing as her hair shifted to red, and her eyes to snow.
