Chapter 23
Jenny drops the V-buster and falls on her back.
JENNY: We... won...
She sighs with great relief.
Tuck runs up to Jenny.
TUCK: Jenny! Your OK!
He jumps up and hugs her as she sits up. Brad and Ms. Wakeman go to Jenny as well. Ms. Wakeman checks Jenny's system.
MS WAKEMAN: All your functions are working efficiently. There is no trace of the Maverick Virus.
BRAD: How much do you remember?
Jenny thinks for a moment.
JENNY:The last thing I remember was fighting Zero. He had me by the neck, then I just blacked out.
MS WAKEMAN: You were running amok with Zero for almost two days.
JENNY: (Disbelief) Really!?
BRAD: Heck yeah! Both of you went attacking everyone and even tried to kill me.
Brad suddenly turns around.
BRAD: Zero!
He picks up a broken beam and approaches Zero's battered body.
BRAD: We can't let this happen agian.
He raises the beam to strike Zero.
JENNY: Stop! Don't kill him!
Brad is confused.
BRAD: He's a monster Jenny. He'll never stop. That what the virus does.
JENNY: Right, that's what the VIRUS does.
BRAD: Jenny...
JENNY: (To Ms. Wakeman) Mom, am I a monster?
MS WAKEMAN: Of course not!
JENNY: I remember, for a split moment, that I was in Zero's lair and I uttered your name mom. So I'm not a monster, just like that monster you fought was not Zero.
Brad drops the beam.
BRAD: Can you remove the virus from his system Ms. Wakeman?
Ms. Wakeman looks a little upset.
BRAD: Great, more bad news.
JENNY: (Worried) Mom?
MS WAKEMAN: The virus was purposely integrated into Zero. It is a part of him from which he draws most of his power. If I just delete it, he will die.
BRAD: If that wasn't Zero, then he deserves to live, even with the virus right?
MS WAKEMAN: That would be a bad idea.
Tuck gets mad.
TUCK: That's like killing a normal person with an incurable disease!
They all look at Tuck, then Zero.
JENNY: Zero... to live, or to die?
