The jack knife was mercilessly pierced into the lungs of a guard who had open fire against Zombo. The latter pulled out the knife, causing the blood to gush out from the guard nonstop. He saw two more guards and rushed towards them, throwing the knife into the head of one of them while piercing his left hand into the stomach of the other and ripped out his guts. While the guard with the guts ripped from his stomach coughed out blood and screamed while swimming in his own blood, Zombo smiled while pulling out the knife from the other guard who was already dead. The dying guard looked at Zombo and muttered, "Mon... ster", before he died.

To Zombo it meant nothing, but to me it did. He continued his ruthless killing, cutting off limbs, chopping off heads and ripping out guts while tasting the blood. It made him go wild without holding back. He could feel a sense of the freedom which he had always wanted. No restrictions, no laws, nothing. He could do as he pleased, and it didn't mattered.

Zombo barged into the lab with five guards and ten scientists. He also saw Peter and Freddy with a suitcase, which had some bluish chemicals placed in multiple capsules in it. Peter immediately slammed the suitcase shut and ordered, "Kill him!". With that both he grabbed the suitcase and fled with Freddy, while the scientists and guards, though frightened, tried their best to stop Zombo, who smiled and concluded that Peter was the person he sorts to kill.

It was a bloodbath in the lab. Zombo sliced his enemies to pieces, spraying blood all over the place, bathing in the blood of his enemies. He smiled and laughed hysterically, then let out the howl of a savage beast. He immediately pursed his prey, caught them in his line of sight and automatically threw his knife straight towards Peter. Freddy was however behind Peter and thus had a knife sticking out from his throat. He died instantly, while Peter cursed under his breath and continued running. He wasn't really the one to flee against an enemy, but what he had in the suitcase was more important than his pride. He had no choice but to run while hearing the menacing sounds from the predator.

He immediately reached an elevator at the end of the hall and slammed a button with his left fist. The doors started to close, but it didn't mattered as Zombo aimed for Peter's head. However, a Crusher broke through the left side of the wall and fell down back-first to the ground. It was blooded all over and on top of it was Ananias, covered in blood and firmly holding on to a sword piercing the Crusher's heart. Zombo stopped immediately and stared at Ananias with a grin. To him, Ananias was a worthy opponent.

I saw it all but couldn't do a thing. I witnessed the immense killing intent coming out from Ananias, stronger than the one I felt from Musa. It was formed from pure hatred, the anger he felt when he watched his family eaten alive by maneaters, the same rage that he concealed beneath his fake smiles up until this very moment. He yanked out the sword from the Crusher and jumped down from it. He looked at the demon before him and pointed his sword at Zombo, saying, "From the moment I set mine eyes on thee, I knew thee for one thing: a monster".

Zombo grinned and asked, "Aren't we all monsters?".

"Do not lump me in with the likes of thee, the one who has finally revealed his true colors and slew the blood of the innocent", Ananias replied as he took his battle stance.

Zombo chuckled and said, "Nothing shall stop me from gaining my freedom".

"Freedom?", asked Ananias as he clutched his sword tightly while showing that he was pissed, "Ye has claimed the lives of many, yet dares to seek freedom? No, ye do not know what you seek, not until you die".

"I've already told you. I seek freedom, and I'll kill anyone who seeks to deny it from me", Zombo replied while he tightly held the knife.

Ananias closed his eyes and sighed. He looked at Zombo and concluded, "The devil will always be the devil. This sword is ready to exert my revenge and end your life. I shall be your opponent, who will deny that freedom thou seek. I ask the Creator to grant me strength to slay the beast in my sight".

Zombo's grinned menacingly and replied, "Another obstacle to clear".

With that, there was no restrictions, no more rules, no more laws. The two parties rushed towards each other at full force, releasing so much killing intent and bloodlust that it was sickening. A sword against a jack knife, a revengeful man against a savage beast.

Rosemary stumbled over a dead body and almost lost her footing. She caught her balance and pointed her assault rifle at it, then sighed when she saw that it was dead. She was already paranoid that zombies had already infiltrated the base, and now she was separated from Lucy. She had killed some normal zombies and continued, searching for me. She brought out a GPS device which showed my location.

"At least I was lucky enough to put a tracker on him", She said to herself while continuing her search.

She started meeting less zombies, which were all normal zombies that didn't really posed a threat to her. At first she began to wonder how normal zombies infiltrated their base, until she noticed a lot of bodies with fresh blood on them. She checked them out and found out that they were all severed bodies, either missing body parts or having their guts ripped out. She almost vomited at the sight of this but controlled herself and continued.

"Help... me".

She heard the dying cry of a female nearby and hurried to where it came from. As soon as she saw who it was, she vomited right on the spot. A female scientist was laying her back against the wall. Both legs, eyes and left hand gone, eyes severed and stomach severely damage with a deep cut that gave way for some of her intestines to come out. She was trying to hold them back with her remaining arm. The fact that she was still alive despite all that was what made Rosemary face pale.

"Save... me...", she muttered as her voice became lower, "He... is... a... mon... ster...".

She finally died, and all Rosemary could do was to stare at her for a while before turning to see the others, dead with their body parts everywhere. She staggered backwards and rested on a table. She was so frightened that she the only thing she wished for was to escape from this hell. Then she paused and remembered the woman made mention of a man and not a woman.

Who could he be? She wondered.

She then heard a violent noise that shook the ground. She hesitated for a moment while holding on to her gun tightly. She then more noises, the sounds of blades clashing, and decided to check it out at once. She rushed towards the site while staying alert at all times. She saw the body of Freddy and bent down to examine him. She sighed when she realized he was dead and clutched tightly to her gun. She closed his eyes and stood up, heard the noise again once more and stealthily approached the site. As she turned to her left, she stopped dead in her tracks and witnessed the horror in front of her.

Blood was splattered all over the wall, two arms and legs were shattered on the floor, and a menacing beast was on top of an injured man with no arms and legs. The injured man was bloodied all over, coughed out blood and yet still spat blood against the beast on top. The beast, laughing hysterically, wiped the blood off him and placed a sword over the man's neck.

"This sword is ready to exert my revenge and end your life", taunted Zombo with an evil smile as he mimicked Ananias' words, "Now it looks like you will die by your own blade. Any last words?".

Ananias tightened his teeth and replied, "I die of my own free will. Go ahead, but ye should know that the freedom ye seeks, ye shall reject it".

Enraged when Zombo heard his words, he roared and chopped off Ananias' head. He stood up with the sword on his right hand and the head in other.

"No one", he said and suddenly looked back to see Rosemary while continuing in a deep voice, "Will deny my freedom".
