"I Can’t Leave Now, Too Much Has Been Done". - Phighting Zombie Apocalypse AU

Summary:

The world was just about to plunge itself into utter chaos.
Work was done upon for the past year to make it come to fruition.

At the forefront, Clockwork.
She knew she was contributing to something monumental in impact, something that would certainly not end brightly, something that had consequences that would come back to haunt her. But, what realistic choice did she have? She didn't even want to do any of this. It's for the sake of saving the skin of herself and Banhammer, of all demons. Costing the world for the survival of them both, selfish.

She hated it. Her complaints meant absolutely nothing. They would change absolutely nothing.

She couldn't leave now. Too much had been done.
There was no stopping the inevitable.

More context about the Phighting OC will be provided btw-
Inspired and/or based on Encroaching Rot by rainbow930 on AO3. Check their work out first!!! (it's very cool)
[I'M GONNA BE REMAKING THIS FIC SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Notes:

If you don't wanna read all of the jumble then TL;DR: just make sure you know some things about the OC and original work before going into this!!!!

Chapter 1: Explanations and Warnings and Things

Chapter Text

Sooo, this is like my first time actually posting my writing somewhere so I apologize if this is badly formatted or something :/

 

First of all, warnings, (This might be subjected to change depending on where I take this since for now, storyboarding is a WIP)

  • Description of gore/body horror, basically allusions to violence and blood n stuff
  • References to major character death
  • Descriptions about mental breakdowns or suggestions that a character is having one

 

Second of all,

This best way to describe this is that it’s basically a fanfic of a fanfic-

This book is heavily inspired, if not, based on another Phighting zombie apocalypse AU by rainbow930 called “Encroaching Rot” on AO3. (https://archiveofourown.org/works/50262346/chapters/126963004)

I REALLY and HEAVILY recommend you read it before reading this book because one: it’s incredibly well-written, in my opinion, and two: it does provide some context to certain events that will happen in this version.

 

Third of all, the original OC in question:

Her name is “Clockwork” or “Clock” for short.

(Picture + Info for context)

Height: 5’5”

Weight: Approx. 400 lbs

Pronouns: She/her

Age: 32

 

Outside of this writing, she has a pretty complex backstory of her own (not sure how much of it I will touching upon at the moment) but some important things to be aware of:

  • She’s a robot and/or an AI. (Though her AI is well-developed so her personality is almost undistinguishable from a normal person)
  • She’s powered by the floating crystal in between her horns and the crystal leeches on energy or energy from matter Clock absorbs or consumes from the environment (Examples: Food, Blood, Sunlight, Gasoline). 
  • The glowing portions of her anatomy are made from a type of material that’s prone to exploding when energized. She wears metal plating to cover herself up and that metal tends to rust and fall apart quickly.
  • Her abilities have to do with controlling time and, well, exploding- (If you’re curious, she’s partially inspired by the Time Bomb gear but she wasn’t 100% originally based on it.)
  • She’s a creation of Subspace but a creation he made in the very, very distant future. She time traveled back to when the events of this took place at some point way before hand and she’s been stuck around ever since. She doesn’t remember how to go back nor does she remember most events from the future.

 

Her relationships with the Phighting cast will be revealed as I develop this so for now, they aren’t entirely important-

 

But yes,

Again, I'm kinda new to this stuff so if it's awful then whoops :/
