Jesse's eyes widened as she gasped, panic flaring through her. She knew that voice. All too well. Red stained her mind, memories flashing back.

"PAMA-" she whispered as Harper tackled her to the ground, sending pain through her body as she cried out. Her senses snapped back as she dodged her punch and kicked her backwards.

She didn't want to hurt Harper, but these were drastic measures.

Questions and thoughts danced in her head. Like how? How was PAMA here? How did it come back? How was it alive? She shook her head. She'd have to find out later.

Harper got up quickly as Jesse stood up, getting ready to attack.

"LoNG tIMe nO SeE." PAMA said, smiling evilly. Harper took out an iron sword and advanced quickly. Jesse barely had time to move before she slashed, leaving a large cut on her arm, and blood leaking out.

She fell against the wall, feeling pain as she groaned.

Harper grinned slyly, and then fell to her knees, clutching her arms as there was an electric shock.

"ERroR." PAMA said mechanically. "MALfuNcTioN."

Jesse gave a confused look, but then shook her head. This was her chance. She had to warn the others. She couldn't defeat PAMA all by herself, especially if it found a way to spread.

She clutched her bleeding arm and ran for the door, dodging Harpers grab.

"YoU CaNnOT DEfeAt mE ThIs TImE JeSSe." PAMA's voice replied as Jesse opened the door. "IT wiLL bE sOoN wHEn YOu WiLL BecoMe USEFUL."

She tore her gaze away from PAMA's evil grin, and bolted out the door.
