In a blink, it has already been a year since the matrix was killed. Earth and its inhabitants were slowly returning to normal.
Many territories have been claimed back by humans with military bases nearly built everywhere. Of course, Nate and his horde have played a major role in this.
Just like he promised, he and his horde have cleared the entire planet. It wasn't an easy one for them as everyone was busy day and night.
Meanwhile, the zombies that were captured of course were not killed rather they turned into high-intelligence zombies while also adding them to the list.
Now after a long whole year of working, all the zombies have been captured and it was finally time to send them all out.
With the help of Leo, they were planning to open up a portal, this won't just be any portal like the other that was opened for Ozzie, this time, the portal location was far into another plan that barely have life in it.
About millions of zombies have been found and they barely fit the island they were currently on. Meanwhile, Nate stood on top of a mountain looking down on the others and the activities going on.
He could see the helicopters hovering above them while keeping an eye on the zombies. The same could be said for the waters as warships were all around the island as if they were surrounding their enemies.
Seeing this didn't sit well with Nate but he chose to ignore it all and focus on the matter at hand.
All the zombies current before him have been turned into his follower and he had an enormous amount of divine power in him. Nate didn't have the time to bother about this because he was wondering how he could lead such amount of people after now.
No doubt all the zombies here are looking up to him, although he was now a god and have led hordes before, but then and now was different. He right now was expected to lead millions of people in another world.
While Nate was lost in his thought, a bright purple light shone before and then followed by loud cheers from the millions of zombies.
The portal have been opened and not long it started to get bigger and bigger till it was at least the side of skyscrapers and equally large in length as well.
Nonetheless, it was not big enough to fit millions of people at once and everyone had to go one after another.
The first group set out to make sure the end was safe to send them all over.
Not long, a report has been made back and soon the people were being let into the portal.
Meanwhile, Nate was overseeing all this, and just then Leo appeared by his side.
"I can't believe that is all coming to an end," Nate said.
"End?" Leo asked. "This is just the beginning. The human race never stopped facing a crisis in their life," Leo said.
"Speaking of the human race, how are they doing?" Nate asked. He hasn't been following the things of the humans much these days and therefore he didn't know much about their condition.
"Hmmm... They are doing well, at least for now, everyone is living in harmony just like the happily ever after ending you know," Leo said.
Nate frowned. "Do you think they will is a problem amongst the world leaders ?" Nate asked.
"No. They all have learnt their lessons, perhaps this is what the human race needs once in a while, they really need to learn to work together rather than fighting each other," Leo said.
"Well... I have seen it happen many times in the past when a great war ends how strong the humans are together," he explained.
"Well... That's none of my business... I have done the best I could by curing the spread of the zombie virus while as well taking the zombies out to somewhere else, any other problem of theirs is not my concern," Nate said.
The two stayed silent while watching the whole event as it unfold, slowly, the number of zombies remaining started to go down and when this happened Nate walked down from the mountains where he met the others.
All his zombie horde members are coming with him while only a few humans among them decided to go with the zombies.
Of course, they wouldn't have tried doing such a thing if the system was not going to protect them and besides the ones that wanted to go with Nate were altered humans.
People like Bigger and his entire gang were going with them. There was also Lyon.
He was not going with them for reasons still unknown, however, Nate have handed him a teleportal tent. Since Lyon was a horde member, surely he could still use the teleportal.
There is Sin and his gang, but they all were not going, as for Sin, he wanted to look into his origin and find out more about what he is while his royal followers were chose to follow him.
Then there was Lynn who of course was staying with Lyon, the two are relative and surely they will want to continue their lineage.
Then the last people were the bits of help that were sent to them from forever winter island. Blake, Rua and Silhouette.
Although they were just pledged members that can decide to walk away from the horde at any point, however fighting close together in the battle against the matrix has brought them quite close. Although Nate could just say that they were doing just what they were told to do, this did not stop the fact that they have helped even in gathering the zombies.
The next people Nate was looking up to was the four friends, Rake, Chuck, Pine and Kim. The four he met while the general Goo base.
Kim and his friends have also helped him, but they have chosen to follow Leo.
Nate was not disappointed after all they will have a lot to experience in life so to just leave everything to go into the wilderness was something only few would do. Surely they are some zombie who is unwilling to go as well but can't help it after all no matter what humans were not going to accept them in their lives.
Just then Nate could see V, and his three friends, Lily was with them as well, of course, the first group of humans that accepted them regardless of what they are were informed about their departure and therefore they came to send them off.
Soon, though, the entire horde has completely entire the portal and it now remains two people, Nate and Peter.
The two were standing at the portal while saying their final good buy.
It was then Nate noticed a particular chopper heading towards the portal, it landed just a few meters away from them and stepping out from it was none other than the female world president herself with her bodyguards.
Nate was not expecting to see her come in person though but he was not so surprised.
"It seems like you keep to your word?" she said.
Nate didn't have much to say to her.
"I saved Earth today, you guys better not destroy it with your nuclear toys," Nate said.
He then didn't waste much time on the president and looked at Lyon.
"Obviously, you are the strongest thing the humans have to offer, I hope you keep the stubborn ones in check," Nate said which Lyon replied with a nod and then smile.
"Anyways, that's not the reason I am here, my best bodyguard here wants to speak with you," the president said not minding what Nate said about them.
She was pointing at Blake. Blake seeing this immediately fall to his knees before Nate.
"It is a pity that the humans won't ever get to know what you did for them and they will not remember you, but I want to promise you, I will remember you, I will tell your stories to my kids my grandkids I will make sure they keep on spreading the word about your deeds," he said bowing.
Nate didn't know what to do at this point and decided to just what came into his mind.
He summoned his ice axe and then on his hand, he started to infuse his divine energy into it till he felt the sword reaching its limits.
"What are you trying to do?" Leo asked concerned...
"Don't worry, I know just what I am doing" Nate replied.
"I want you to take this..." Nate handed the weapon over to Blake.
The other couldn't believe his eyes, he what Nate was handing over to him.
"I now call this the death weapon. I want you to use it on people that deserve to die," Nate said.
Blake wanted to reject the gift but found himself hugging the axe tighter.
"Thank you... Now this, I will pass this down to all my generation and let them witness your mighty power," Blake said before bowing and then stepping back.
When he stepped back, Leo then stepped forward.
"Perhaps before you guys go, I want to show you two something," Leo said.
Immediately, a bright light appeared beside me. As for what appeared after that, it was none other than Chris and on his hand was a small baby.
Nate and Peter looked at each other in surprise.
"Wait... Why will he be holding him!" Peter said and he rushed forward and snatched the baby out of Chris's hands.
It was a cut little body that have just every resemblance to them. No doubt this was their brother probably from another mother.
While Peter was caring for the baby, Nate's attention was on something else.
"His arms... How did you get rid of the second limbs?" Nate asked.
"A little surgery is all it takes and besides, you are not expecting that I should have left him like that," Leo replied.
Nate didn't know that they were a high chance that the gene of the four arms would be inherited by the baby.
"Since his job is done, then I guess he should come with us right?" Peter asked.
Leo said nothing about that but Peter have already given the baby to Nate and then rush off to Chris's side. Before the latter could do anything, he was kicked into the portal.
"I can't take chances of him going through what we went through, " Peter said before going into the portal as well.
Nate now holding the baby walked up to Leo. "I guess his care is on your hand now," Nate said as he handed the baby over to Leo.
"You won't name him?" lyon asked coming over to take a look.
Nate looked over to the baby and then sighed.
"Call him Terry..... Terry Way," Nate said. Leo nodded.
With that, Nate stepped into the portal and then looked over at Leo.
"You know, it still feels strange that this isn't a game as I intended," Nate said before the portal closed.
