Angry skull.

It has become rare for the skeleton skull head to visit. At first, when they first met him, he usually visit regularly, but cause of time, he wasn't seen anymore, however, for the skull head to visit and there was even this anxious expression on its face that kept sending shivers down their spin as they looked at him.

<Just one simple quest, kill a god dame fucking zombie that is clueless of what this world is and it's very hard for five of you to do! > skull head said in outrage.

"What do you mean it's hard for us to do so, he dead, take us back home!" Red said in protest.

The skull head throw him a killing gaze that send shivers down Red's spine as he sat back on his sit.

<Do you think his dead? He's so much alive and kicking, as a matter of fact, he is stronger than he used to be and not just only that, he has finally met up with someone you guys should have prevented him from meeting> the skull head said as a photo of Leo appeared in front of them in a holographic form.

"Isn'22222t that the same guy that rescued Sin from our hands?" all the matrix recognized the man. After the battle with Sin over the ownership of his base, they stumbled upon footage of Leo making some manipulations with the base data and after what he had done, they are yet to extract any useful information from the base data so far.

"Him again!... Why would he always have to make things difficult for us, I swear, I saw Nate being enveloped by those flames, there is no way he could survive such a thing," Kai said and others agreed with him.

<Then are you saying my words are lies?!>

The skull head asked furiously. As he does so, the matrix could feel a sharp pain in their head as they started to shiver. 'When... will we get used to this, ' Kai thought.

"Enough!!!" Mia suddenly shouted making the Skull head open his eyes and mouth in shock. <How dare you?>

"It's enough, I think you are only using us, you won't explain things to us, neither will you tell us who that guy is, but you want us to do your bids, fine!" mia said and stood up.

"Once you start explaining things to us, the sooner you tell us who he is, the sooner we get your dirty job done," Mia said.

The skull head was left in shock for a moment, he never thought that a day will come when Mia or any other members of the matrix will talk back to him. <You, I will make you feel pain> the skull head said.

"Oooh, really? We will see you do that after this television is smashed into pieces," with Mia saying this, the others suddenly lunge his body forth towards the television.

He wasn't the only one as the others followed after, they all felt like they are been used by the skull head and could not take it anymore.

It became obvious to the matrix that the skull head was powerless aside from making them feel pain or calling them into the dark room.

However, before they could reach out to the television, an invisible force filed pushed them back right into their sit. They tried to attack again, but, their body was strongly been held down by the force field.

"Let us go, you pieces of shit!" Mia shouted but was interrupted by the sharp pain he felt on his forehead.

<I will make you guys pay> the skull said as the matrix all grabbed their heads in pain.

However, just then, a holographic lead appeared and it was illuminating a red light followed by an emergency alarm.

<It seems like you guys have a problem to deal with > the skull head said and disappeared from the television. Meanwhile, the five matrix were left to decide what to do next.

When something like this happens, it means that they are being attacked by someone and those people are none other than Peter and the rest of Nate's horde.

"He's not here, I can feel it," Peter said as the helicopter they were on was fast approaching the former Sin base.

"Then where is he, this is the matrix base and they are the most likely people with him," Lynn said.

"I will be going out to look for him myself, you all should stay back and conquer as much territory you can while I'm out," Peter said and started running towards a particular direction, before moving, a map interface appeared before him with a black dot that was moving for some time now and has stopped for some reason. 'I know this is you, but his were you able to get to such distance in a short period of time,' Peter thought and started heading towards the direction of the dots.

Meanwhile, back on the chopper, the others could only watch as Peter with his sonic speed disappeared from their face.

"Shouldn't we be helping him, I mean, Nate is also our leader and we need to look for him when he is missing," Bull said to Lyon.

"I don't think so, Peter and Nate are brothers, even if they are now zombies, they still have this brotherly bond around them. I strongly believe that he is enough and capable of finding him," Lyon said.

"As for what we will do, let's, conquer this whole city Nate's territory and maybe even find the matrix and get rid of them once and for all,"

With that being said, Lyon jumped off the base and fly ahead of the chopper. Lynn did the same by unleashing her new shadow wing and followed after Lyon.

Meanwhile, the matrix has just come out from the dark room and was currently looking at what was happening outside.

It was just only a chopper and yet one could tell the amount of panic written all over their face. "There is no way we can do anything about those people, we have lost all our men to them, the only best option now is to flee," Mia said.

As much as they all hate the fact they have failed to kill Nate again they still believe that one that fights and runs away lives to fight another day.

"The problem is how are we going to bypass them without getting noticed?" Green asked.

"Leave that to me," Kai replied. Having lived in the base for a long time now ahead of the other matrix, he already knows many secret places that even some of the base leaders were not aware of.

"This just shows how much trust that Sin of a guy has on you," Red commented.

They were all currently in what seemed like an underground tunnel that it's seems endless.

"Too bad you betrayed him," Purple said. It was hilarious to hear though because Mia and the others giggled over it but Kai's face was drained of emotions. It was his luck that there is no light in the tunnel.

Once in a while, they will hear a rumbling sound from up, threatening them to cave in. "They must be looking for us now," Mia said and they all stopped laughing and increased their walking speed.

Not long, they could see a light on in their front and started running towards it like the wind, however on getting out, they were shocked by the scene before them.

They have come out in what seemed like a subway, but this was not the case at all, rather was the three men that was fighting against what seems to be an army of zombie. On the people's chest was written in capital letters, ZOMBIE HUNTER.

'Nate, no matter where you are, we will find you and with the help of those people, we will kill you,' Mia thought clenching his fist tight before going ahead to confront the zombie hunters alongside the rest of the matrix.

Meanwhile, Nate in question has just got up from what seems to be a deep sleep and he was greeted first by a system massage.

[Quest canceled, the host was unable to kill the five matrix within twenty-four hours]

'At least I now know who they are, but I still need to know if this whole thing is a game, ' Nate thought before looking around his surroundings.

"I free answer, this is not a game," a voice sounded from Nate'sside and when looking at who it was, he found out it was Leo.

"I will introduce myself again. My name is Leo, and I'm your NPC,"

"I free answer, you are not in a game," Leo said.
