{Chad’s eyes started to roll back into his head. He was about to pass out due to the lack of oxygen but Jude didn’t let that happen. He threw Chad against the wall and as he made impact, he was awoken by the pain. Chad gasped desperately gasped for air as his life depended on it.}

“S-stop him! He’s going to kill me!!”

{Chad screamed out and his goons came out of the crowd and began attacking Jude. They punched and kicked him but Jude wasn’t paying attention to them at all. His eyes were dead set on Chad. Chad was being helped up by others but Jude interrupted them.}

“AAAAHHHHH!!!!!”

“Holy Shit!”

“He’s a monster! Someone stop him.”

“Go get the guns!”

{Chad screamed in pain as Jude stomped on his right arm. He stomped and stomped and the sound of bones breaking echoed throughout the area. Even the goons who were attacking Jude could only watch in shock. Jude wasn’t stopping at all and was trying to break every bone in Chad’s arm until it turned into mush.}

{Even if I hate every single bit of Chad, I still don’t think he should be killed. Punishing him is fine but killing him is taking it too far. At this rate Jude will become a murderer because of me.}

“Lisa, stop Jude!!!”

{Lisa was just as shocked as everyone was but she quickly regained her senses. After hearing me speak, she sprints towards Jude and tries to get him to the ground but she couldn’t. Since that wasn’t working she latches onto his back before wrapping her arms around his neck and tightening her grip. She got Jude in a chokehold so it shouldn’t be long before he passes out.}

{I was relieved that everything was going to be settled but I celebrated too soon. Jude wasn’t being affected by the chokehold. Unlike Chad who’s face immediately began to turn red, Jude’s face seemed entirely normal. He continues to attack Chad and this time he was aiming for the right leg. He stomps down and Chad’s knee bends the opposite way.}

“Stop it, Rudy!! You’re going to kill him!”

“How dare you hurt Mako.”

{Jude wasn’t listening to Lisa. He was in some sort of berserk like state. I try to get up and assist Lisa but my injury wasn’t healed yet.}

“Gogo, help me stop Jude!!!”

“Get his legs, Lisa!”

{Gogo’s body to towers everyone else as he charges through the crowd like a tank. By the time he was out, he charges towards Jude and tries to take him down. At the same time, Lisa had jumped off of Jude’s back and kicked at his legs to trip him. Their combo attack would have worked if it was an ordinary person they were facing but they were up against Jude.}

{By the time their attacks were about to reach him, he was able to nimbly escape both of them. As soon as he got away he headed for Chad who was being helped up by others. Fear overcame Chad’s face as he saw Jude running towards him.}

“G-get away!!!”

{Chad falls onto the ground as the two who were trying to help him quickly abandon him. He tries to crawl away with his only working arm but it wasn’t long until Jude caught up to him. Jude’s foot was firmly placed onto Chad’s back as he reached for Chad’s left arm and begin to pull on it. Chad screamed in pain as Jude began twisting his arm.}

{It was too much, the sound of bones breaking and the screams of terror. Even Chad didn’t deserve this kind of torture.}

“Rudy, stop it!”

“Stop, Jude!”

{The two of them charge at Jude from behind and I can only hope they stop Jude before he kills Chad. Jude evades them and throws Chad into the ceiling before jumping and kicking Chad in the stomach. Blood and vomit escape from his mouth and by this point, Chad had passed out due to all the pain.}

“Fifi, can you do anything to stop Jude!”

“I’m already on it! Buy me some time.”

{Fifi’s arms were raised in the air and a green circle with symbols appeared above her. She begins to chant in a language I’ve never heard before.}

“Figi Fugu Aga Pom Las Desi, Dom Mapa.”

{My leg was done healing so I head on over to join Lisa and Gogo’s attempt to stop Jude. Since I’m the one who caused him to go berserk then I’ll be the one to stop him.}

‘Don’t hurt him too much, Mei 3.’

I won’t.

‘Stay safe, Mei 3. Please don’t overdo it.’

I won’t.

“Unleash the first lock.”

{An unknown power begins to fill my entire body. What did Fifi call it? A special power or something along those lines. This would be the first time I’ve ever used it consciously. The first time this power ever occurred was a week ago when I had gone out to scavenge for food.}

{Someone in our team was about to die and I felt utterly hopeless. I didn’t want to have to watch another person die in front of me and that was when the power suddenly flowed through my body. In that one second, I was able to kill a monster with my bare hands and saved that person.}

{After that day, five locks connected by chains appeared within the White Room and it was on my side of the room. I asked Fifi what this power was but she said that it was probably a special skill that I gained when I gained enough experience. The concept of experience still didn’t feel real to me so I didn’t really understand. Since this power was so frightening, I had decided to not use it until I desperately needed too and now was the time. I’ll stop Jude even if I hurt him.}

{He was currently jumping all over the place while dragging Chad along. Lisa and Gogo weren’t able to catch him because he was too fast but I can see him. Every single movement I can see as clear as day and I can even predict his next moves. He was movements were linear so I’m sure Lisa and Gogo would catch on if they had more time but they didn’t. It was a fight to stop Jude from becoming a murderer.}

“Mako, he’s coming your way!”

“I got it.”

{Jude jumps off the wall towards the other wall like a monkey moving through the forest. His movements were executed so finely that you would think that he wasn’t a human but I know he is. This entire time when Gogo and Lisa were after him, not once did he attack them. Even in his berserk like state he was able to recognize friend from foe.}

{While he was in mid-air I jump towards him and in an instant I reach him. I wrap my legs around his body and spin him around before slamming him into the ground. Chad flew away as Jude lost his grip when I chopped at his wrist.}

“G-gogo, take over!”

“Got it. Let’s go, Lisa!”

{I get off of Jude’s back and lay next to the wall as Gogo puts Jude into a headlock. His large body pinned Jude onto the ground while Lisa restrained Jude’s legs. If I continued to hold down Jude then I wouldn’t have been able to do it. This special power of mine saps all the energy out of me in a few seconds so I’m sure Jude would have been able to escape.}

“Mix these ingredients and calm this child down in his state of anger. Bring him peace and tranquility. Agni Na Mo Jan.”

{As I catch my breath I could see that Fifi was done chanting and there was now a green bubble floating above her. Floating inside of that bubble was bits and pieces of herbs that were mixing in with her magic.}

“Open his mouth!!!”

{Hearing Fifi’s command, Gogo sticks his fingers in between Jude’s mouth and pries it open. The green bubble flies over and goes inside of Jude’s mouth and his body immediately becomes limp.}

“Haaah, finally. You’re a crazy guy, Jude.”

“Good job, Gogo.”

“No probs.”

{The situation was finally dealt with. Jude was quietly sleeping and no one would expect that he was just trying to kill someone a second ago. Both Lisa and Gogo looked exhausted and so did I.}

“Good job, you two.”

“Nah, we couldn’t have done it without the three of us.”

“Yeah, what you did was amazing, Mako.”

{Gogo puts Jude on his shoulders while Lisa helps me up. My body was tired but I think my mind was worse off. After using that power there was a throbbing pain in my head.}

“Get that murderer out of here!”

“He and his dog are monsters! We should just kill them!”

“Kill him!”

“Kill him!”

‘I really hate all of these people here. How dare you even think about killing my Jude.’

‘Yeah, killing him is going too far.’

Ah, what a headache! How are we going to deal with this now!?

{The people were all outraged and scared of Jude. I finally thought we were fine but now we have to deal with all these angry people. I don’t think I can handle this along with that annoying pain in my head.}

Mei 2, can you take over? I want to rest for a bit.

‘Sure.’

‘Wait, what about me?’

{Hahaha, I’m not sure I can trust Mei 1 not to hurt these people, both mentally and physically.}

|......|

[I take over the body and was about to head on over to William and Gareth’s room to get help but I was interrupted by a sudden voice.]

“I FOUND YOU, MOMMY!!!!!!”

[My ears felt like they were going to explode. My entire body was shaking at whatever just spoke. The windows shattered and the entire mansion was shaking like an earthquake was happening. I couldn’t hear anything at all but I felt someone tapping on my shoulder. It was Lisa and she was saying something but I couldn’t hear her.]

[Lisa begins to make gestures and I could roughly understand that she was signaling for me to go downstairs. I was about to go back to our room to grab our things but Gogo grabs my wrist and gestures for me to hurry. I could see that Gogo was nervous about something, even scared. The situation must be really bad then.]

‘Mei 2, follow Lisa and Gogo. It seems like it’s time for us to leave.’

Ok.

[While everyone was still in shock, our group breaks through the crowd and head down the stairs. Gogo was carrying Jude while Fifi was resting on my breasts, she looked like she was in deep thought, and Goldie was walking right next to me. The entire time they had been trying to stop Jude, Goldie had been sitting by the entrance of our room looking guilty. He must have felt bad for what he had done.]

[The path we were heading led towards the garage. After Gogo opens the garage door, I could see William, Gareth, and Jill packing stuff into the armored vehicle.]

“Gogo, what’s going on!!”

“What!”

[It seems like he still couldn’t hear me. Since no one could hear, I decide to go to William and ask him about the situation. I talk to him through sign language and I’m glad I decided to learn it. I knew there would be a day it would come in handy. I’m also lucky that William knew sign language because one of his kids is deaf.]

“What’s happening?”

“We are leaving. Big monster coming.”

‘What did he say, Mei 2?’

He said there’s a big monster coming.

[After talking through sign language, Willaim points me to a monitor in the room. It was displaying the large field in front of this mansion. I look closer and I could see a tower of zombies. So many zombies were piling on top of one another to create a huge tower that had to have been at least 50 feet tall.]

‘Mei 2, hurry up and help them pack.’

‘Oh my god! We need to get out of here quick.’

[I don’t waste any time and ask William what we still needed to pack up. He points at a few boxes and I immediately begin to help. Gogo had already placed Jude within the truck.]

[I carry the boxes and place them within the truck. It was quite a large truck with lots of space. Besides the two front seats, the seats in the back were lined up like benches. You could probably fit eight people in the back with plenty of space.]

“Good, everyone get in!”

[Our hearing had returned and everyone begins to get in the truck. Looking back, Goldie was staring at the monitor of the screen.]

“Let’s go, Goldie!”

[I call out to him but he doesn’t hear me so I carry him into the truck. The entire time his eyes don’t leave the monitor. We were ready to leave but someone rushes into the garage, it was Professor Jane.]

“Wait, please wait! Take me with you!”

“Can we take her?”

“Yeah, we still have enough space.”

[Lisa asks William and he agrees to take Professor Jane. After she gets in, the garage opens up and we drive out. We reach the gates and it automatically opens up.]

“Why are we leaving so soon, William?”

“We don’t have a choice. If we stayed there any longer than we would have all died.”

“Why?”

“Look out the window to your right.”

[Lisa curiously asks William and he points towards the window. We all look through the gated windows and see a figure in the distance. It was that tower of zombies and it was getting closer.]

“What is that?”

“It’s a tower of zombies. Our surveillance cameras caught sight of it about 30 minutes ago. It suddenly appeared out of nowhere and it’s incredibly fast. In another 20 minutes or so, it would definitely reach the mansion.”

“What about the people in the mansion!?”

“It’s up to fate whether they survive or not. We’ve left them food and weapons so they should be able to survive even without us.”

“I-I see.”

[Lisa’s mood drops as she hears that the people in the mansion were abandoned. I feel bad that we have to leave everyone behind. I didn’t like a lot of them but there were those who supported Lisa and helped us so I at least hope they survive.]

“R-Ricky?”

“Hmm, are you talking about this dog, Professor Jane.”

“Yes, it looks very similar to my dog. No, I’m sorry. It can’t be, Ricky died quite a while back.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s fine.”

[Professor Jane tries to pet Goldie but he growls at her. She must have been mistaken.]

[I look over at Jude and he was still sleeping. Fifi was sitting by his head while gently stroking his hair. She looked like a worried wife who was lovingly taking care of her injured husband. It created a melancholic atmosphere around them.]

“Master, is Jude fine?”

“Yeah, he’ll just be asleep for an hour or two.”

‘Good, I don’t know what I would have done if Jude was hurt.’

“Master, do you know what that tower of zombies is?”

“I’m guessing there’s a very strong undead controlling it.”

“That thing is being controlled?”

“Yes, only a very powerful undead can command other undead. With how many it’s controlling, it must be very strong.”

“I see.”

[The situation was pretty bad then. If William hadn’t noticed this tower of zombies in time then we would have been the ones in trouble.]
