It's quite unfortunate that Peter has used the last flesh of human meat he had on himself after fighting Chris. The zombie hunter bullet had done quite a huge damage to him and had used it all to recover. Seeing Nate in such a condition, he knows the solution to this and dashed out to a random location.
As Peter left Nate's sight, Nate couldn't help but wonder and think back to what landed him in his current condition.
Back when Jim was still being held by TNT, Nate already know what was about to happen. He has cut off TNT which was okay, however, he did it at the wrong time.
TNT will draw out energy from the gauntlet to his forehead before shooting it out, however, he was still about to do that when his arm that is wielding the gauntlet was cut off by Nate.
This cause it to go on a rampaging mood as it absorbed the air alone, TNT has to take a deep breath first before using the gauntlet laser, however, he breathed without fully taking the energy from the gauntlet. This made the two energy both from the gauntlet and the air became enemies and reacted unusually.
TNT noticed this and knew full well that he was going to die, but he was unwilling to die alone and grabbed Jim. It was at this point did Nate jump in, but unfortunately for him also, he was hooked up in the mess.
The bright red light that came out from TNT's body covered both him and Jim, he was there witnessing as Jim's body was being burnt into dust, the same was happening to him, but his healing power was kicking.
[Energy =-50/500]
[Energy =-50/500]...
Nate could see as multiple notifications were popping up and, his body was healing and at the same time being destroyed. 'There is no way this isn't game over, ' he thought, however, this particular notification he was expecting never popped up rather, it was all a list of his energy bar.
Soon, a huge explosive wave erupted sending him out of the burning light into a nearby building. It happened so fast that, Green who was not that far away didn't notice this.
[Energy = 5/500 remaining]

'Is this truly not a game, am I really in another dimensional world like earth?' after what has happened, Nate was having a little bit of doubt about whether he was truly inside a game or not. 'Where the fuck should I even look for this NPC of a person, ' Nate thought to himself.
Soon, he could see Peter approaching him with a fully intact body of a man that most likely was with the matrix. Nate didn't care and the moment Peter brought the person close, he pounced on the flesh in a matter of winks, Nate was done with the flesh and stored the rest in his inventory.
[Energy = 500/500]
"You've done well Peter, this will do," Nate said as had got up. His limbs were not back and the burnt scars were nowhere to be found, all thanks to Peter who arrived in time.
"What were you expecting me to do, we are brothers and you did the same to me when I needed help," Peter replied.
Hearing this, Nate sighed, it has just run out of his mind that Peter can now talk. "What about him, did you finish the job?" Nate asked Peter tossing the celebration aside.
Upon hearing this question, Peter already know who Nate was referring to and his expression changed. "Those zombie hunters, just when I was about to kill him, they intervals. They took him and disappeared," Peter said clenching his fist. Nate could understand how Peter felt, but there is nothing they could do at this moment rather than go back to prepare.
However, just before they could leave, a man in a white lab coat was walking towards them. "Who are you?" Peter asked taking a fighting stance.
The man ignored him and kept looking at Nate, meanwhile, being ignored, Peter became angry and lunged his body at the man.
The man didn't move when Peter punched him. However, Peter's hand just went passed his body like he was hitting nothing but air. "What was that?" he and Nate became confused.
Before Peter could do anything further, the man pointed a large gun at Peter and when pulling the trigger, a black fluffy substance was pulled on Peter when that happened, Peter, himself was glued to the ground. "Get this off my body!" Peter yelled.
The man ignored him one more time and then looked at Nate."I know you might be annoyed by what I did but hear me out first," the man said to Nate.
"I don't see any reason I should listen to someone that hurt my brother," Nate said and dashed out, but before he could do anything further, the black goo substance was pulled onto him.
Nate tried to break out with his strength, but it was of no use. "Who are you?" Nate eventually asked.
"My name is Leo and I am your NPC," Leo answered.
Hearing the word NPC, Nate's mind was left confused, but he soon snap out of it and was about to ask further query, but was interrupted. "No questions yet, let us get you to a quiet place," Leo interrupted and Nate felt his conciseness leaving him. 'No, I need my answers, ' he wanted to shout but for the first time, he felt tired.

It was a miracle that after all the intensive battle that gut went on, the base did not lose a single person from their group, rather, more people were freed and brought to their base.
The battle was over and everyone was now resting for the day, however, someone, in particular, was having a restless mind as he walked from one place to another.
"How is this possible, it's almost down and none of you guys has spotted Nate anywhere?" Lyon asked the one that was called bird.
It was already getting dark, yet Peter and Nate were nowhere to be found.
"I have looked around the whole place and I have no sign of them at all," the birds replied.
All the members of the Nate horde were currently present in the mothership sitting room except for Nate himself and Peter.
Just then, a noise from outside made Mark project footage of what was happening outside in the sitting room.
"Peter!" Lyon muttered as he rushed outside.
Meanwhile, outside Peter has the scariest facial expression. When looking at him, it was as if he is an angry version of Nate as he walked through the clouds.
Lyon and the others soon appeared before him."Where is Nate?"
Lyon was the only one that has the nerve to question Peter.
"They took him, a man in a lab coat appeared and took him," Peter replied before looking at Bird. "You will lead me to the matrix base," he declared.

Meanwhile, it's been a couple of days since Green has been riding on his bike, he didn't bother to stop, rather he was constantly on the road heading back to Sin's base that currently was now their base.
Panama City was big, a three-day journey for one to move from one end side of the border to another was too short. After those days of constantly riding the bike, Green finally was able to see a particular skyscraper that has its top off like a bit has been done there.
Soon, Green reached the building, they weren't many people in the base, only a few cleaners that ensures the place was neat, as for everyone, they all have been taken to the battlefield.
Green quickly got to the meeting room and took a seat, not long, his body was splitting into two and the rest of the matrix members were summoned.
They all went into the dark room again, but this time, they were ready to go home. Just as they entered, the. Skeleton skull was already waiting for them and judging from his facial expression, he was damn angry at them.
The skull asked as a picture of Leo appeared on the television screen.
