Start part A

An hour later...

Akiko: I'm so sorry for your loss...

Zack: Nah... I'm almost over it...

Akiko: Are you sure about that?

...

Zack: Yeah...

Akiko: Don't lie... and besides... I lost someone recently as well...

Zack: You did?

Akiko: Yes... his name is Mofu... He's the master of technology...

...

Zack: Mofu?! He's dead?!

Akiko: You know him...?

Zack: Yeah! He's the reason I'm still alive! How did he die?!

...

Akiko: E... EJD...

Zack: Who...?

Akiko: Johnny... He was being controlled by my boss...

Zack: Huh...? Johnny...?

Akiko: He was never in control... He's basically a puppet...

Zack: Wait! But he helped me!

Akiko: It was my boss... she's actually had her eye on you... she wants to kill you.

...

Zack: Why?! I didn't do anything to her! I've never even seen her!

Akiko: Yes, but this world of yours... She wants it as her own...

Zack: But... It doesn't really exist...

Akiko: That's the point...

Zack: Why...? This makes no sense...! Your boss wants to kill me... Johnny never had control of his own life... Ashley and Mofu are dead... And I became a Parasite... So much is happening!!!

...

Zack suddenly gets on his feet.

Akiko: Huh...?

Start part B

Akiko: Where are you going, Zack?

Zack: I'm going to kill your boss...!

Akiko: You don't wanna do that.... She'll just make Johnny kill you...

Zack: Don't you worry... I've got a plan!

Zack walks out of the room.

Aurora: You're not gonna stop him...?

Akiko: No... He'll be fine...

Meanwhile...

Zack walks to the nearest elevator.

Zack: All awesome movies tell me that the evil boss is on the top floor...

BEEP!!!

Zack goes to the top floor.

Zack: Johnny... I promise... I'll give you freedom... No matter what!

*Running*

Zack runs towards the boss's office.

Start part B

SLAM!!!

Zack: Hey, boss, Lady! Where are you?!

BZZ-BZZZZZZZ!!!

CLASH!!!

Zack: J-Johnny...?

EJD: Zack... You're here...?

Zack: Don't worry, I'm here to help!

Boss: Kill him, EJD!

EJD: Yes, ma'am...

SCRATCH!!!

EJD attempts to cut through Zack's arm but fails due to his nerves, which creates a shield.

EJD: You're different... What changed...?

Zack: A lot!

SLICE!!!

BOOM!!!

Zack blows a hole through EJD's chest, causing it to explode.

Boss: Dammit! Don't let him beat you that easily!

EJD: I'm trying my best ma'am...!

Boss: Well, do more! Much more!!!

...

Zack: "Why did he stop...?

"Self-destruct sequence initiated.”
