Jake tries to get himself up but his body is too weak after suffered many hits and blows from the unexpected foe. He's bleeding too much and can't used his left arm. The worst part is that he unable to regenerate his wounds. Then, John appeared behind his back and hammered him down with his fists.
Lars and the rest are unaware of Jake's absence and continue to slaughter everything in their path. Ghost taps on Lars's shoulder.
Ghost : Take the rest and go. Red and I will take care of things here.
Lars : Are you sure?!
Ghost : Yeah.
Lars : Karl, Devil, Baz! Come with me!Baz rams through the entrance and everything in his path. Lars gunned down more guards ahead but he noticed that the guards are fewer than he expected. When he looks up, there's nobody up there.
Lars : Guys, tell me something. If you're a sack of balls that destroyed half of this nation, where would you hiding?
Devil : The top floor is too cliche.
Karl : There is always one way to find out.
Lars : Baz! Smash the ground!Baz raise his hands and slam the ground. Unfortunately, the ground won't shattered and Baz is wasting his strength by smashing the ground. Suddenly, an elevator emerged from the ground and appeared. Without hesitation, Baz leaps in and jumps all the way down. The rest of them have to ride the elevator and wait.
Lars : Long way down.
Karl : Must be kilometers down.
Devil : And that motherfucker jumps all the way down?
Lars : Don't you worry about him. And for the meantime....[unpacks his backpack]. Here you go.
Devil : There is always a time for a beer, ey?
Karl : Why not. Cheers.
Lars : Cheers.They reach the end of the ride and they saw a big blast door. At the end of it, they surprised to see Baz laying unconsciously and there's two hybrids that wore a fine set of suits. Lars and Karl recognize the suits as they wore it before when they worked for the president and when they approached them, they surprised to see their former accomplices.
Lars : Dave and Michael.
Dave : Hello, Lars.
Michael : Your dog is running around and making mess, so we put him to sleep.Karl fires his gun but they seems to be not affected the gunshot.
Lars : Hyrbids.
Dave : I appreciated the time we had together as a team Lars, so I'll tell you honestly. The boss is in there, waiting for you guys.
Michael : But you have to get through us.Karl unsheathe his katana.
Karl : No problem.
Michael : You think you can cut through me, kid?
Karl : We'll see.Then, Devil unsheathe his own katana too and Karl surprised to see someone wields the same weapon as he did.
Devil : Let's see.
Devil swings it and a beam of string shoots from his katana and the duo evade the oncoming beam. The beam sliced the blast door in half and they are shocked with what they just saw.
Devil : When you combined both of your strength and your mind, and of course, your mutation's strength and mind....
He swings it again multiple times and dozens of cutting beams coming towards the duo. They blocked it with their hands and severely cut by it.
Devil : And lastly....[rips his shirt off]
Devil : A demon unleashed.
Devil leaps in with his katana and attack the duo. Even though they able to regenerate the wounds but Devil's attack are giving them the hard times to act.
Karl : Lars, you go ahead.
Lars : What about you?
Karl : I'll slice them down.Lars went into the blast door and all the way through the hallway in it. He reach the lab and he saw thousands of subject trapped inside tubes. At the other end of the lab, he saw the president is injecting himself with tubes that came from the subject. Lars slowly walk towards the president and the president welcome him.
President : Welcome, Lars. You're given a chance to witness the beginning of new era of mankind!
Lars : Oh. I watched this before and I got to tell you, the ending won't satisfy you.The president disjoint the tubes and suddenly appeared behind Lars with his supersonic speed.
Lars : What the-
Tyler grabs him and throw him against the wall. He grabs him once again.
President : This is, Lars, a new level of power. The transcended being. A god.
Lars outmaneuver him and slam him against the ground and pummeling down his fists against Tyler's face. Tyler is forming his hand into sharp pointy end and plunge it into Lars's chest. Lars tries to bear the agonizing pain he felt, but Tyler make it worse by lifting him with his hand stuck inside Lars's chest. Luckily, Lars able to rip Tyler's hand and he escaped from his death grip. Tyler regenerate his ripped hand and continue to slaughter Lars.
Tyler : What's the matter, Lars? Surprised?
Lars : Fuck...you....He holds Lars by the neck and slowly suffocate him.
Tyler : I successfully engineering the genetic cells inside the DIE virus and this is the result.
Lars : You're a mon...ster....
Tyler : Me? I'm a monster? For the last two millennium, humans are the monster! The human's greed, Lars, never underestimate the human's greed. Power and money, blind-folded their fucking eyes for the last two millennium. Let me ask you, Lars, is there any year that the world didn't suffer the consequence of wars they waged? The old fuckers in the politic with their ego and getting older, watching their young men fought for their country and die. Anyway, the war ended and a new peace surfaced. They are no more old fuckers told you what to do, what to think, what to say. You make your own decisions as you see fit and those who weak and stupid, will perish.
Lars blast him off with his psychic and gasp for air as he was suffocated earlier. He pin on Tyler and hammered him down with barrages of punch.Lars : Here's one thing you should know. We [punch] don't [punch] need [punch] your fucking help! For the last two fucking millennium, the strong will always protect the weak! We don't fucking [punch] prey on them!
President : You think?A billboard appeared from the top and projected the outside situation.
The survivors are getting weaker and the mutants endlessly appeared and swarming throughout the place. The hybrid guards are fighting for their life. It's a three-way war. Ghost, running out of his strength, approached one of the guard's captain and grab him by the shirt.
Ghost : Let us make this clear! There's no point of us keep fighting and killing each other. There are new enemy and they kill both human and your kind! If we don't work together, we'll be dead soon!
Captain : Attention! Aim the mutants! The survivors is our ally! I repeat, kill the mutants! Not the survivors!They all focus on the oncoming horde of mutants and work together as one.
Lars : I've seen clear enough.
President : And what about this.The board shows a fight between Jake and his father.
Lars : Jake?!
Jake is badly wounded but John keeps smashing him like a fly. He grabs Jake.John : I didn't raised a pussy.
Jake : Dad, please.....
John : Pussy.John send him flying off with a kick and then blink in and grab him once more.
Jake : Wake....up....dad....
John : Fight me!
Jake : I...won't....
John : The day that you're mother died, I didn't buried her. I eat her to survive....Jake's wrath sparked and a surge of overwhelming power coming out from his body.
