Seems Like a Bit More Than Just a Stolen Purse...

Well, she seemed bothered. He wasn't expecting anything too spectacular from his comment that mocked her, but he at least thought she'd make some sort of effort to get him back. Then again, she didn't seem to be very good at getting the boy with her comebacks, the closest she had got was a long-winded rant about her stupid pendants mechanics. God she sucked. Still, Nero was stuck with her for the time being, he had lasted this long, he could easily wait until they were out of this tomb before flipping her the bird and trailing off. Hopefully, he wouldn't even have to lead her out of the jungle, but he wasn't heartless enough to leave an idiot like her alone in the jungle if she didn't know where to go. Who knows, she may end up harming a an innocent animal before she died from starvation. Nero couldn't risk that! With her announcement that she got her pendant back, seems she would be in agreement to leave as well. Funny, in his state of exhaustion after defeating the horde of undead that cornered him with just his bare hands, Nero had forgotten all about the stupid trinket. Acknowledging he'd be paid once they found their way out, they were off. "Yeah, whatever."
Sadly, Nero's hope for a silent trip out of the tomb was shattered before him, the girl opening her mouth to inquire just who she reminded the duo of. Seriously? Now?! God, even without being connected to JeY, this chick wouldn't be the ideal person Nero wanted to work with. Letting out a sigh, Nero glanced at his dog, giving him a look that read "oh, this is what you wanted to tell me, isn't it?" Might as well get the idea through her thick head now. "Let's make this quick. I'm not stupid, you dropped that prick's name earlier, you two look alike and you're both terrible in your own unique ways. My dog hates you, you have JeY's same scent, you degrade him and frankly, he thinks you smell a bit funky. I can't vouch for that last one. Did I miss anything, bud?" Looking down at his dog, Nero's face looked a bit shocked as his dog let out a low bark. "Well, that's a bit too raunchy for me to repeat. Sheesh man, I didn't teach you that language, what the hell have you been doing late at night?" Chuckling a bit, Nero turned his attention towards JessY. "As for hating you for you, don't worry, I had a dislike for you before JeY was even in the picture, he's just a nice little bonus for you as far as I'm concerned. Happy now? You're a bitch, I'm an asshole and we don't like each other. Sound good to you?"
Man, he really hated having to explain all that, but she was pretty dense, so he shouldn't have been expecting anything different. After putting his feelings out there, JessY mentioned more of the undead bastards ahead, telling Nero he wouldn't have to lift a finger. "Right, I won't hold my breath-agrh!" As he tried to whip out his pistol, Nero felt a sharp pain in his right leg, causing him to almost topple over. Well, he would have toppled over had it not been for his partner pushing himself against Nero's leg, holding the boy up. "Thanks bud. I'll be fine, I guess those bastards got a bit more of me than I thought, eh?" Giving his dog a half-assed smile, Nero watched as JessY handled the group of dead people in front of the group with ease, not really impressed with what he saw. Sure, she had one or two moves Nero could respect, but she still was seen as weak in Nero's eyes. Without her pendant, she was entirely different person, something that further solidified Nero's hated for any sort of magic or non-natural ability. Take away Nero's guns, it only left him weakened, not completely useless, but people like JessY never had to worry about that, they were all so spoon fed. Though, she'd say something he'd agree with; the hope that they'd find a way out of this tomb.
But, for anything she did right, JessY always seemed to screw something up as she continued to trek forward rather carelessly. Just before Nero could tell her to slow down, the dog-supported teen heard a sound he really was not too fond of. Ugh, you idiot!" As the ground beneath them gave in, Nero pushed his dog off of his leg, falling down to his hands and knees. "Get moving, bud, I'm right behind you! Looking a bit hesitant, Koji began to move rather quickly, leaving his partner in the dust. "Yeah, far behind you.." Wheezing a bit, Nero pushed himself up to his feet, hobbling his way toward the other two. Still, the teen wasn't making the best time, the falling floor making it's way to him rather quickly. Just as he was about to give in and ask the girl for a hand, his brows furrowed in anger. No, he wasn't about to let her have the satisfaction, his ego was far too big for that. Turning his hobbling movement into a full on sprint, Nero would pass Koji and continue running until he was clear of the room they had just been in, coming to a skidding stop. Resting his hands on his knees, the boy panted a bit.
Nero would be ready to continue moving, as he was getting real sick of this damn tomb. It was annoying on it's own, just being trap ridden and having multiple paths, but having the walking dead inside was enough to really piss off the teen. Hearing a moan, Nero glanced up to see a lone undead tribesman shuffling toward him, though looking behind this loner, Nero could see the shadows of yet another group of the cretins. "Oh, I've had enough of you assholes!" Whistling for his dog, Nero ran up to the walking corpse, kneeling down at it's feet. Keeping very still, Nero wouldn't move an inch, making this stunt look a bit odd. Well, until Koji arrived, anyway. Within seconds of hearing Nero's whistle, Koji ran up the boy's back, preforming a back flip off of Nero and propping the rotted corpse's head up into the air with his hind legs. Smirking a bit, Nero jumped up to the severed head, unleashing a soccer-styled kick on it towards the group of undead in front of them. "Heads up!" He'd shout out just as the head slammed into another corpse's face, laughing to himself as he pulled out his pistol.
"What do you say we make these dicks pay for what they did to my leg, Koji?" Getting a confirmation bark from his mutt, the two decided to rush the remaining four of the small group. The first of the group would be taken out rather quickly, a simple judo throw over the shoulder from Nero followed by Koji stomping on the corpse's head once it hit the ground, putting an end to it's second life. For the second undead warrior, Nero aimed his pistol behind his head while still facing away from it, blasting four quick rounds into their neck, leaving their head barely connected to their body. Aiming his pistol at the third corpse's knees, Nero fired two rounds in each one of it's kneecaps, leaving it hunched over. Shedding a smirk at his dog, Nero gave his dog a hand signal before grabbing the hunched-over corpse's wrists and sliding between his legs in one motion, delivering a strong kick on the center of their back, sending them flying head-first toward the stone ground.
While Nero finished the zombie he was dealing with, Koji would headbutt the corpse that Nero had barely left alive, causing the undead tribesmen's head to shoot away from his neck and land next to the mess Nero had made of the third corpse, looking perfectly synchronized. Pulling a clip out of his side-pouch, Nero shoved it into the final corpse's head, then proceeded to slam the clip that stuck out of the corpses head into his pistol, whipping it's head back as he kicked it square in it's chest and sent it in front of him a bit. For the final portion of his plan, Nero aimed his pistol not at the creature he had just kicked, but at an urn that was near the corpse. Firing at the urn, Nero shattered it, causing what Nero could best describe as a stone pendulum to swing down from the ceiling, crushing the corpse against the wall as it burst through it. Man, it felt good to have Koji back at his side.
"Aaaaand shortcut! Just like I planed. Nice work, bud. holding out his hand as he finished his sentence, Nero felt his dog slap him a hi-five, then a low-five and finally a fist bump. Looking through the hole that was in front of them, Nero was pretty sure he recognized this chamber as one the three of them had been in earlier, so that seemed like a good sign. Turning toward JessY, Nero would rest his hands on his hips, smirking. "There you go, you handled the last batch, I got this batch. Consider the shortcut a little Nero bonus." Grunting a bit, Nero began stretching his right leg. "Ugh, though, I gotta admit, doing a soccer kick to one of those heads with a bad leg wasn't one of my finer ideas." Shaking his head, Nero raised an eyebrow at his dog as the mutt let out a low grumble. "Oh, I'm sorry, what was your idea again? Act like a freaking splint for Nero while the floor was caving in? No, that seems logical. Really, bud," Rolling his eyes at Koji, Nero patted the dog on the head as he assisted Nero once more, helping the boy walk through the hole made in the wall.
