Author's Note: Recap. Sorry this took so long! Hope this is worth the wait!

"Wait, that's…" I began to say, but was cut off by a foul-tasting liquid being shoved down my throat.

"****," I managed to say before I fainted.

"Sloth…" I mumbled.

"Indeed…" an evil-sounding voice said.

I got up and turned around, only to see…Dr. Sloth himself!

"Maybe you should look in the mirror!" he said.

I looked down at the glass floor. I was mutant!

"If you want to see your family alive again, you'll have to beat me in a duel."

"Of what?"

"Ray gun to ray gun. Whoever falls first wins."

"And where's my ray gun?"

He tossed me a very large ray gun, and took out one of equal size.

I immediately began to shoot like crazy. Sloth fell backwards and began…sparking.

"**** you, Sloth, you cowardly son of a *****! Come out and face me!"

"Very well…" said the real Sloth as he emerged from the shadows.

Author's Note: The following scene was originally censored heavily. I had to keep the violence down to a minimum for the K+ rating. I changed it to something closer to the original, and upped the rating to T.

I began to shoot like crazy. Not a single shot hit him.

"YOU ******* SON OF A ******* *****! I'M GOING TO ******* KILL YOU!"

I shot at him several more times in between the eyes, in both legs, and even between the legs. Finally, several shots hit, in all of those areas.

"You killed me…" he said, as he collapsed. He was bleeding like crazy, and definitely wouldn't be walking ever again.

"Great job, Lari!" said Nina.

I turned around. Everybody was tied to a bunch of chairs.

"Everybody…"

"Not so fast…" said Flame. "That was another fake."

"WHAT?" everybody said.

"Yes. Just look!" he said.

I turned around, and sure enough, 'Sloth' was sparking.

"****." I said.

"Yeah, **** indeed," said Flame. "He also has my nanobot reactivation switches."

"Oh ****, he can reactivate our nanobots!" said Nina.

Everybody stared at her for a second. Since when does Nina swear?

"Reactivation switches?" I asked. "As in, multiple switches?"

"Yes. Didn't it ever occur to you that you got nanobots from that transmogrification potion?" said Hus.

"Oh ****." I said. Then I took the ray gun, and aimed it at my chest.

"Lari, don't!" said Nina.

"If I don't do this, I'm going to be forced by Sloth to kill you all!"

"But he would just kill Hus and Flame. We've both got nanobots that he could reactivate."

"But Hus is my owner. I could never kill him, even if I wasn't aware of it."

"Killing yourself won't help that. After all, for all we know, all of us could have inactive nanobots, even you, Hus."

"How could the nanobots work on humans?" asked Karushi.

"Since I revised them to do so. They also work on a different frequency, and therefore require a different switch."

"Not good." I said. Then, I pulled the trigger.

"Lari!"
