[John was scared. Whatever was going on, it was enough to frighten Karkat even, or at least make him suddenly want to run. He hadn't encountered a telekinetic zombie before, though he had heard stories. If he knew that this was one of those zombies, he would be shitting himself.

As it was, he knew he had to do something about these zombies, since they were moving in on the village.]

No, we have to fight them! There's innocent people in there, kids even! We can't just leave them to face whatever that is.
