Esther said, "The longer you stall, the more berserk you go once 20 seconds are up. I've fought one on one with enough high level zombies to break down their movements and nature; each one of them has different abilities, but they all are of the same species, which factors out the probability that their bloodlust nature is different from one another's."
Out from the half dressed female cyborg robots, roaring chainsaws began to stick through their heads, chests, and arms.
They all said in unison, "Target detected, enemy verified."
Tae didn't say a word. All the female robots slashed their chainsaws at him, and Tae was taking the damage, but it didn't effect him. Tae grabbed a chainsaw blade with his bare right hand, and he slammed it to the ground, spun around, and kicked the head off the robot. The impact of the kick destroyed the other robots, cracked the ground, and blasted large winds away which made even Commander Esther take a few steps back.
Esther thought, 'It's as it was in the video I saw of him. When he was going against Vice Captian Big Mertha and the level 3 zombie, His natural strength and speed were abnormal. 15 more seconds…due to his immense power, it'll be impossible for him to be able to fight back the urge of going berserk. Speaking of the video I've seen of him, he didn't look like this before. Did he…evolve?'
More of the half naked female robots came at Tae with their chainsaws, and Tae was getting cut up all over the place with them. But then after, he would punch or kick in the direction he was cut from, and destroy more robots, blowing them away with a large blast from his strength and speed.
Tae thought, '….This damn woman…she's holding my head in the opposite direction, it's going to be harder to fight since I can't see my opponents. I'd have to take damage from these fucking robot women and attack from that direction they land a hit on me at.'
Tae raised his fist, and punched the ground, shattering everything around him, blasting strong winds everywhere.
'The heat burns…she set fire to my cheek, and a side of my chest is on fire. How is that possible?!'
Tae allowed the robot chainsaw women to cut him up some more, but he took advantage of that, and turned around and punched them away, blasting them into pieces.
Tae thinks, 'I feel..more powerful…did I get stronger? It's all no good if I can't figure out how to stop Esther properly without killing or hurting her…I need to reattach my head back to my body. I'm feeling something through..something ominous as hell…rising in me..'
Esther said, "A zombies weakness is his head, cutting the heads off 1-3 level zombies will instantly kill it. Anything above that is irrational. So you-."
Tae replied, "Shut up."
"Oh?"
"I had a feeling this would happen…."
"If you knew, then why did you proceed to go along with the process?"
"…Yura…that damn nerd Yura saved my life. So killing you would prove to her that I wasn't worth saving. And all of the things she did to rebel against the ZBA would make it worthless as well. Are you telling me you don't fucking see that?!"
"I see a hybrid zombie. You may be a human male, but still a monster with zombie tendencies. I see my daughter falling for a hybrid like you, and mowing down everyone who tries to tell her differently."
While they were talking, Tae was still getting stabbed through the body and cut and sliced up by the robot chainsaw women, and Tae would retaliate and perform punch and kick blows on them, making them all explode as the ground cracked more. The fire on Tae's face began to spread slowly, and the fire on Tae's body began to spread at the exact same time.
A whole crowd of robot chainsaw women were leaping high in the sky trying to hit Tae, humming the blades of their chainsaws, and Tae was up there with them. Tae was leaping on and off of each robot chainsaw woman, and he would easily destroy them. He stabbed his hand through one of them, and slung it around, destroy the other robots in one swing, and then he felt on the robot to touch the chainsaw, and he ripped the chainsaw out to use it as a weapon. He waited for another attack to hit him.
Esther said, "Fire agitates all zombies, but it makes the level 5 zombies rage even more."
Another robot stabbed straight through his back, he turned around and cut the robot in half. Tae started to dart through the air, leaping off the air, spinning randomly at fast speeds with the chainsaw blade on the left side of his hand, and a long machete that he formed on the right side of his hand.
He spun faster through the air, faster than a helicopter blade going at full speed, and he had hordes of robot chainsaw woman leaping up at him in the air. They would get shredded easily, blowing them up over and over again as smoke and robot parts flew all over the place. Tae's blood splashed all over the air as well as his open wounds flapped.
As Tae finished ripping them up all up, he started to flip down to the ground, thinking, 'I wanna bring out my rifle, but I can't shoot where I can't I directly aim! She's smart…too smart. How am I gonna…'
Tae almost landed on the ground, until four fat robot chainsaw women blasted from underground, and tried to ram their chainsaws into Tae's stomach.
Tae heard the crackling of the ground, and he heard the humming of the chainsaws getting closer and closer, he felt the vibration on his nose and he wasn't anywhere near his body.
His arm went into a guard position, and a large sharp bone stuck out from his body horizontally, and he blocked the chainsaws, thinking, 'Tch! I was able to pick this one out due to my senses. These robot women must be the only ones standing right now, since I can't hear or feel the vibration of any other foot patter around me. I could feel multiple sensations around my face and body at once due to all the robots around me, but now it's focused on a singular direction.'
Tae leaped upward off the air above the fat robot women, and he slammed the large sharp bone down, and it stabbed straight through the robot women, slamming them to the ground, and making them explode loudly.
Esther said, "The more you struggle, the more pointless it becomes.
Tae leaped through the smoke, and the fire on his body had spread out more. Tae thought, 'The fire spreads and spreads…it burns even more…it's getting hotter…it hurts…it's starting to hurt…shit! I have to do something…I have to precisely locate the Commander. Through my eyes, she's tilting my head upward so I can't see anywhere behind her. I can feel her holding me, but I still can't pinpoint where she is. Without my head, I can only react to where I'm instantly hit and I can follow up with an attack in that direction.'
Suddenly, another horde of robot chainsaw women came from underground all around Tae, and Tae just stood there, trying his hardest to listen.
The half naked robot chainsaw women were running circles around Tae, but they didn't have chainsaws, and Tae noticed because he couldn't hear the humming of the blades.
Tae stood there in a fighting position, his mouth was breathing from afar, which made his body motion up and down slowly in breathing. He was covered in his own blood and smoke, and his veins popped.
'Multiple hostiles, multiple footsteps. There's a sound relay every 3 seconds, one robot is heavier than the others; they're running in circles. These damn Robots are smarter than I expected. I might have to take a few hits before I attack. I'm ready…'
Suddenly, there were miniguns forming out of the robot women's hands, and they started shooting.
'Gunfire?!'
Tae ducked fast, and he began to do a breakdance-like move where he spun his legs around really fast, and dust began to cloud the area fast.
Esther thought, 'He's creating a dust cloud..'
Tae stuck both of his hands in the ground, and lifted it, blasting two blocks of the ground covering his left and right sides as bullets shot into them.
Tae thought, 'I know I've formed a dust cloud, and two blocks I created to guard my left and right sides have been thrown. I know I'm surrounded full circle, so I can just attack in a circle drawn pattern. Like this.'
Tae started to run in a full circle, dashing around and slashing his machete around, cutting down robots. Some bullets pierced Tae, but it didn't have that much of an effect.
'Shit! They kinda hurt now!'
Tae darted around a full circle again, flipping over and slashing multiple robots, then stopped, sliding in the middle of the circle again.
'I'm creating a large circle each time I move. But I can't waste enough time I guess, I need to get my head back!'
Out of nowhere, three large fat chainsaw robot women slammed down on Tae, stabbing through his back, and pinning him to the ground.
While Esther was holding Tae's head, Tae's teeth were getting sharper and sharper, and some parts of his skin were turning black.
Esther said, "Those horns on your head rattle, the darkness and rage within you shrieks in pain. And here my foolish daughter thought you were different from those zombies. I'm gonna demote her just for her insolence, arrogance, rebellion, and insubordination. All monsters are the same, all zombies are the same, they feed off the beauty of life as it is, they curse each day that beautiful humans live. And you…are just a wanna-be. A fake. Look how pitiful you look. It disgusts me."
Tae thought, 'Kill…kill…kill them…kill them all…kill them all….'
His entire face was covered in flames, and then his whole body was in flames, burning him alive…
'Kill them…kill them…kill them!'
(Flashback)
(10 years ago)
(Seoul, Korea)
"Move!"
"Move!"
"Get out of the way!"
A house was on fire, and there were firefighters and ambulances outside, along with smoke and fire rising into the air.
9 year old Tae was standing in front of the house with smoke stained in his clothes, and he had tears in his eyes.
"Mom….dad…."
A firefighter came up, and they snatched Tae away, saying, "Stop running off! We need to get you to a hospital!"
Tae screamed as he was being carried away, "Mom! Dad! Take me with you! Don't leave me alone-! NO! NO!!!"
(Flashback END)
(Present Day)
Tae was snarling from his mouth, drooling ferociously as Esther still held his head upward.
Tae said, "Kill…them all…"
Suddenly, large sharp bones shot from his back, destroying all the robots that were on top and around him. Then, the fire that was on his body started to turn green, and he started to stand up slowly, with blood from his body dripping to the ground and fists clenched.
Esther thought, 'The fire I created changed color…how? Heh…then it's true. He's constantly evolving…'
In the blink of an eye, Tae was already behind Esther, reattaching his head, and Esther was in shock, turning around to look at him.
Tae put his head back on fully, and he looked at Esther. Tae had his zombie horns on his head, and his eyes were pitch black now, and most of his skin was dark green and black now.
Esther jumped back, saying, "That's a cool trick. I've faced many level 5 zombies. But none who could evolve like you can. This will be a rewarding kill."
Esther had blue circles glowing on her skin, thinking, 'For captains and commanders, were implanted with internal nano weapons and armor, whereas regular ZBA soldiers have nano weapons and armor on the outside of their bodies which are powered by their mana. The more vast their mana, the more effective their technology.'
Esther had glowing blue lines forming all over her skin, and her face, and she thought, 'I have to strike first!'
Esther was about to dash forward, but Tae kneeled down, and put his hand on the ground, saying, "Tank."
Esther said, "Huh?"
Out of nowhere, coming up from the ground, was a large green and black camouflage army tank, and Tae was standing on top of it, holding two assault rifles, and he stared into the eyes of Esther with a blank face.
Esther sighed, grinned, and said, "Yeah. I give up. You win."
Tae didn't say a word, and the tank went full speed at Esther, faster than a jet itself.
Esther thought, 'With my abilities versus his, it's one sided….I got my answer and I got what I wanted. He's not worth our ti-.'
Tae exclaimed, "WOAHH! I can spawn a fucking tank?! I got carried away and just winged it! I didn't think I could actually make one!"
Esther gasped, surprised with a shocked face, saying, "He..fought it?"
Tae continued with a grin, "Haha! Alright then! So we're gonna fight or what?! Let's go!"
Esther laughed hysterically, saying, "Nope. I give up. I don't feel like fighting anymore."
"Huhhh? Tch. That ruined my mood. I was gonna pummel you!"
Tae started to turn back to normal, with all of his wounds healing, and his weapons and tank disappearing.
Tae scratched the back of his head, mumbling, "Damn, I really wanted to try out that tank on something alive-."
Esther dashed up to Tae, and she kissed him.
Both of their lips connected, and Tae stood there with his face red, but he didn't pull back or act like a pussy.
Esther thought, 'So he can heal too…as I saw in the video. Man, I haven't kissed a man in so long…'
Esther grabbed Tae's hands, and placed them on his waists, sliding them down slowly to the top of her ass.
Tae thought, 'This is nice and all, but why is she doing this?! She's moving my hands downward! I gotta go through with it!'
Esther moved away from Tae, and pulled out a piece of paper, and showed Tae, saying, "You passed."
Tae responded, "I KNEW IT! I KNEW THIS WAS SOME KIND OF TEST! And where the hell did you pull that paper from?"
"Actually it wasn't a test. I was trying to kill you. But you proved me wrong during the fight. Which is why I pulled out this paper. Read it."
Tae grabbed the paper, and he read, "ZBA exams registration form."
Esther said, "The exams start tomorrow morning at 8am sharp. Until then, you are allowed to stay with my daughter. It seems her intuition wasn't wrong. Because I for one, barely accept anyone. Especially around my daughter whom I love. Ever since she was a child, I've done everything I could to make her happy. Buying her the most expensive things and taking her anywhere she wanted so she wouldn't ever hate me. For I had a child once before her, and they hated me because I was a bad parent. But with Yura, I wanted to change, and I overdid it by spoiling her. Me and her father. Which is why I tell you, if you hurt my daughter, or make her second guess and doubt your potential of being in the ZBA, I'll gut you. I realize that Yura might have potential feelings for you, feelings I've never seen her have for another person before. This is why this is important. And this situation here is world saving. Understood?"
"Duh. Yura's hot. I'm a gentleman."
"Good. And one more thing, if we're ever alone again, I'll let you have me."
She started to turn around and walk away, and Tae replied, "Ready when you are."
Esther chuckled, and thought, 'I've recorded this entire fight. He's not from this world.'
