I will say that I initially wanted to do a bit more with these villains, but eh, we've got a fairly good story as it is. I did end up scrapping one of Infinite's officers from the plot. XD
Restoration Center
Jenny and Carmine rode the elevator up to Floor 91, finding the surreal and empty atmosphere rather frightening. The gloomy hospital greeted them with a long bridge, crawling with XANA Tarantulas. Jenny evaded their bullets and sped past while Carmine dropped bombs on the mechs. "So, this is where all those comatose people are being reformed?" Carmine recalled. "It's not as nice as I would've hoped."
"Yeah, and the robots don't make it any better. Let's find the others!" They broke through the entrance, where the GLaDOS receptionist shot and derezzed two XANA Krabs.
"Welcome to the Restoration Center. Please ignore the infestation of evil robots and zombie patients and enjoy your visit."
"You two!" They noticed Megumi, who used her paddle-ball to pierce a Tarantula's head. "You're Sector Q, right? Hurry inside, it's terrible!" The Nimbi ran in ahead, Jenny and Carmine following. Terrible as she proclaimed, the patients were moaning like zombies, eyes displaying XANA's symbol as their bodies glitched like static. "Oh, no! Stop!"
A Nursebot was about to shoot a possessed man, but Megumi struck her first and destroyed her. The man attempted to strangle her, but Jenny kicked him off. Further ahead, two nurses were shooting a horde of other zombies, and Carmine was horrified as one of the patients derezzed. "Are they killing the patients?!" Carmine cried, throwing a bomb to destroy the nurses.
"They are!" Megumi yelled. "We've been trying to stop them, but it's been hard to hold the patients back ourselves!"
"What the hell?!" Jenny shouted, sliding to knock a few patients off their feet. "Aincrad was supposed to fix these people, why are they letting them die?!"
"All hazardous glitches must be eradicated from Aincrad." GLaDOS said, walking in with a minigun. "These corrupted patients must not leave the building at all costs. Now, back away! I bought this gun at the toy store and am not afraid to use it."
Jenny didn't give her the chance to use it and kicked the gun upward, afterwards kicking GLaDOS off her feet. After stamping the robot's head into nothing, she grabbed Carmine and rushed up the hall. "Leave my zombies alone, you wretched nurses!" XANA's voice snarled through the intercoms. "How am I going to destroy the MCP with a zombie army if there are no zombies?! On the bright side, I can pick off a few operatives this way."
"The hell you will!" Hibiki Lates declared, trying to bind Bon Clay in Light Rings. Nursebots surrounded and threatened to shoot the swan, but Uiharu strangled them with vines and beheaded the robots. The possessed Gary-Lou tried to choke Uiharu, but Hibiki helped restrain him.
Saten used airbending to stir a group of patients together and hold them in place, leaving Tronta to toss his Light Disc at the assaulting nurses. But even grounded, the nurses managed to land shots on patients, injuring David Keith (a former Gallagher President) and Hikari Gilligan, while some fatal shots ended the lives of Lenny Whitby and Richard Teague (another Gallagher President). "STOP!" Dipper Pines spun and drilled his pine tree through the Nursebots, destroying them. "Their families were hoping they would get better, how could you betray them?!"
"Damn it! I can't believe I put Clay in here!" Hibiki shouted. "Should've known this game was bad!"
"There's more coming!" Uiharu cried.
"Leave them to us!" Jenny sped along the wall, flying over the operatives and robots as Carmine dropped nukes over the soulless nurses.
"It's those two!" Dipper recognized them.
