Ooooooookay… I still had no idea what was going on. I thought Tyro was about to finish her off but she slapped the monster's forehead and back away. Instead, she told us that the monster was dead. I was confused.

"Oh! Axl, I was talking about Odette was once a human and murdered three mistresses. She was murdered by her husband with a mutant virus and revived as a monster with insanity," Tyro explained quickly.

"Oh! Thanks for the information. Still, how can you read-"

"Guys, we need to exterminate that monster because her virus is contagious, and it will infect other people. Don't worry. I already implanted strong anti-virus data on you all. So, you can focus on fighting. I'll analyze the surroundings," Angelo clarified to our earpieces.

"Roger that! Everyone, let's fight!" I fired my guns at Odette, but my bullets got reflected by Odette's barrier, similar to Tyro. "The fuck?!"

"We did the same thing as she attacked us," Zero reminded.

"Then, you need to hit the three small satellites at the ceiling first. I sensed their signals from there," Angelo told us as we looked up at the ceiling. He was right. The satellites were at the ceiling on the corners.

"Axl and I will shoot them. Zero, please dodge for a while! Tyro, we need your defense!" X ordered.

"Granted!" Zero stayed away from Odette.

X ran to the left, and I was on the right side as we changed our weapons for a long-range shot. Odette fired the missiles at us, but we got protected by Tyro's barriers again. I sighed in relief as I fired two satellites on the upper right of the ceiling while X charged shots at the upper left.

"Ah, shit! The wifi got disconnected again! Who the fuck messed up the wifi-eh?!"

X, Zero, Tyro, Odette, and I heard and glanced at the security guard who held his smartphone. We all blinked in confusion.

The security guard went pale. "Um… Sorry! Please carry on!" he ran away immediately.

"Oh! I think I destroyed the internet provider. I thought it was one of the satellites. Should I pay it for the repair?" X was surprised that he was the one who shot the wifi.

"No need. He's going to be arrested anyway," Zero shook his head.

As we destroyed the satellites, Odette's barrier got deactivated and continued the battle.

"The barrier is gone!" Zero shouted.

"Chaaaaaaaarge!" Tyro screamed.

They slashed at Odette with Zero's lightsaber and Tyro's katana. X and I joined in as we fired at Odette. We damaged her dress and ripped off the extra limbs. Odette roared as she released her iron dress.

"Aw shit! She is still protecting herself again?!" Zero shouted outrageously.

"No, that's her second form. Her defense became weak. You need strong attacks… Wait! I sensed other maverick signals," Angelo said as he noticed something.

I heard groans as I turned away. The zombies burst the door open, both humans, and reploids with rotten, grey skins and blood. I almost puked as I fired at their heads. "HOLY SHIT! WALKING DEAD IS REAL!" I screamed.

"Axl, there's no time for jokes-Oh crap! Zombies! Where did they come from?!" X shocked.

"I don't know. Did Odette summon them for backup?!" Zero asked as he sliced the zombies.

"Oh my god! I can't believe that Odie used that motherfucking Honkai virus! ORAAA-ORAAAAAAAAHHH!" Tyro screamed as she changed her katana into a spear. She jumped to her glyph higher and plunged her attack on the ground as her multiple spears rose and stabbed all the zombies. She repeated her attacks at zombies again and again.

"Whoa! She did the Bane of All Evil!" I was shocked.

Afterward, I heard Odette's roar as the zombies kept coming against us. I guessed that her roar was the part of the ability to summon them. I aimed at her throat and shot at it. Odette got choked as she held her bleeding throat. As a result, the zombies collapsed lifelessly. Tyro stopped her plunging attacks as she saw me.

"Nice shot!" Tyro cheered, and I gave her a thumb up.

When we checked on Odette, she failed to roar. Suddenly, her iron gown transformed into sharp blades.

She spun like a top and tried to slice us, yet again, Tyro reactivated her pink barriers to protect us.

"Thanks, Tyro! Is it alright that you activate your barriers a little longer while we defeat her?" X thanked and asked.

"Sure thing! Just eliminate her already," Tyro nodded.

X, Zero, and I seized and attacked Odette with our abilities.

She spun her blades but failed.

She fired missiles but failed.

She whipped us with fire but failed.

All her attacks failed because we were protected by Tyro's overpowered barriers.

I'm serious! Tyro's defense was unbreakable. We were so lucky that we had a supporter on our side. Now, Odette was getting weaker and weaker as we noticed the red core at her chest as her weak spot.

"I saw the weak spot!" X pointed as he was going to charge his shot.

"Awesome! Now you can-Oh shit! Ah!" I heard Tyro was shocked that her barriers went disappeared. As she tried to reactivate, she was fired and hit at the wall by Odette's explosion.

"Tyro!" I rushed to her and held her gently. She got a little burnt but her armor wasn't damaged.

"Owie! I thought that I turned into Kenny Roger's roast chicken," Tyro groaned.

"Yeah. Just hang on-"

"Axl! Look out!" X shouted as I glanced that Odette charged at me with her diamond-shaped sword on her hand with my eyes widened open.

"Destroy evil on your own will…"

"Huh?" I heard a voice as I saw Odette's sword and her arm crumbled into dust. As Odette was stunned and attempted to attack us, she was shot at her core by X's charge shot, and she was going to explode.

"Axl! Get out of there!" Zero screamed as I carried Tyro and ran away from Odette.

*KA-BOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!*

Finally, Odette was annihilated. All her body parts were burned and scattered on the ground. We were relieved that it was over. Twenty minutes later, the forensic team and the investigators arrived. Tyro checked the corpses of Odette and the zombies with the forensic team while X and Zero joined the investigators to check the area. As for me, I just sat on the bench and rested a little.

"Axl, are you alright? We were worried about you that you didn't dodge from Odette," X was concerned as he sat on the bench, next to me.

"Also, I didn't know that you can decay her arm," Zero added as he folded his arms on his chest.

"Sorry about that. I hesitated and-Wait a sec! Decay? I didn't equip any bullets that transform an object into dust," I raised a brow.

"Um… You didn't pull out your gun. You only stared at her. Is it related to your copy shot?" Zero asked.

"No… I'm not sure," I answered. I didn't know how to turn her arm into dust without touching or attacking… As well as I heard someone's voice. Who could it be?

"Boys! We found five AIs in the computer!" Tyro called us in a panic as we ran to her at the laboratory.

Inside of the computer, there were two women and three men that turned into AIs. They were stupefied that we finally rescued them. X took out the documents with the list of victims.

"Calm down, everyone! We're here. Can you tell us your names?" X asked.

"I'm Lisa Thornberry."

"My name is Mioa Niy."

"Alberto Alba, present!"

"Hi! Nico Bizzle."

"Korijo Hame."

"Huh? Wait a minute! You're Korijo Hame?" Tyro confused.

"Yes, I'm Korijo Hame. That bastard stole my identity and pretended to be me in a reploid body. He said that we stay here in this virtual world until he comes back and deletes us!" Korijo replied outrageously.

"If Korijo is here, then who's with Papa Bear?" Tyro asked as we looked at each other. And then, we realized…

"Oh fuck! He's with the serial killer!" I panicked.
