Niko's POV

DDDeekin: Niko! I'll be out for a while! 

Niko: Ok. Be careful.

Deekin leaves. Niko sighs. She tries to read a book but closes it and loses interest before she can even start.

Niko: I'm not getting anywhere. I can't even look at a book. Haert? Oh yeah. He left....hmm...

Niko thinks of the past when she had awakened a new power. She obtained it during the fight with FarReach.

Niko's Flashback

Eric: Damn it... We aren't getting anywhere! We just keep coming!

FarReach: Pretty annoying huh? Yeah. This was the same move that FarCry used against me! Now you will fight yourselves who can never die!

Niko: Gha.... I'm running out of resources... Everyone is awakening new powers... It's about time I do too.

Niko charges the copies of the group all by herself. Eric yells for her to come back and that she was being reckless but that's how Niko lives life.

System: You have successfully met the conditions. You may now use the newly created ultimate skill "Niko's surgery."

Niko activates the skill. Thousands of mechanical limbs bursts from Niko's back and grabs the clones and FarReach tries to dodge but he was unable to move because Niko's skill was unavoidable. In a single second Niko had converted their data to become the undead attribute. When the group looks a Niko they see her hovering with twenty foot long mechanical wings and a metal Halo around her head. Niko then uses a new version of turn undead that destroys the undead and replaces them with mechanical counterparts that serve her. The undead clones of the group have now been turned into machines that now fight alongside the originals. 

FarReach: I can't make new copies if the old ones are still out. Clever. And if I kill them and try to reuse them you can just use that skill again.

Niko: Shame you are immune. Oh well, now you are in double trouble.

The battled dragged on and Niko was very mentally worn out but kept going. She then lost the ability to focus of some things such as reading, writing, and sometimes speaking as a result of over exerting herself.

End of Flashback

Niko: I know Deekin left that recorded song somewhere.... I can't focus without it.

Niko finds the tape and plays it. The tape is still considered to be a video and it will sometimes have ads. One such ad started to play and a man appears on screen.

Man: Are you tired? Having difficulty focusing?

Niko's thoughts: Duh. That's why I wanted to play this. UGH! This isn't a skip ad kind of ad....

Man: Now I know you are saying Ugh! This isn't a skippable ad so I won't waste too much of your time. Do you ever feel misunderstood? Perhaps your friends keep calling you a cat for some reason.

Niko: Yeah. They do joke about that... I keep telling them I'm not a cat. That's oddly specific.

Niko Didn't realize it but the real ad was over and the recording of the song started to play. She was still watching the ad intently.
