At DIA's throne room, Piko was feeling like he was losing his freedom more and more often. The rope tying his wrists and ankle was starting to hurt him and the tape covering his mouth was making him anxious to speak. The rope that is tied around his neck felt like he was being strangled by someone who purely disliked him. He was trying to cough to no avail.

"Too much... pain... I can't... feel my body..." Piko thought. "But I... musn't... fall asleep... Everyone... would think... I'd die..."

"Piko." A voice was heard.
"Lorra?" Piko used his telephathy to sense the souce of the voice. It was indeed Zhanyin Lorra.
"Piko. I know you are in a dire situation." Lorra said using telepathy. "But you must know that... my body cannot be saved."
"What? Why not, Lorra?" Piko asked shockedly.
"DIA has completely controlled my body. But I still have my soul in you." Lorra answered. "I am going to..."

Lorra was interrupted when DIA noticed something outside.

<INTRUDERS SPOTTED>
<HACK OR ELIMINATE? ELIMINATE>
<CALLING ALL MINIONS>
<ORDER SENT: ELIMINATE INTRUDERS>

As DIA left the room, Piko felt something that shook him. DIA was going to kill his friends.

"LORRA!!" Piko thought while struggling to get free. "WE HAVE TO STOP DIA!! SHE'S GOING TO KILL EVERYONE!!!"
"I know something DIA doesn't."

Lorra used her soul touch to burn the ropes binding Piko and the rope tying his neck. Piko removed the tape and started coughing. He coughed out water (not vomit or blood).

"I have to stop her... Thank you, Lorra..." Piko said as he picked up a knife that looks a lot like the Hack Restoring guns and followed DIA.

Meanwhille, the team arrived.

"This is it..." Luka said. "The path to the throne room."
"Stick with the plan." MEIKO said.

But they didn't know that DIA would arrive with EVERYONE she possessed.

"Oh no..." Yanhe gulped. "She's here."

<TARGETS FOUND>
<ELIMINATE TARGETS>

Miku, Teto, GUMI, VY2, KAITO were the first ones to attack.

"Change of plans?!" Fukase asked.
"Change of plans: Fight for your life!" Mizki yelled.

Mizki, Fukase, Yanhe, Renri and Miko fired their guns ar Miku, Teto, GUMI, VY2 and KAITO.

The 5 loids that were shot fell to the ground unconscious. The 0s and 1s that were controlling them disappeared

DIA felt shocked about how the guns were recovering everyone she sent from her powers.

The last one who was recovered was Sachiko.

"They will wake up soon." MEIKO shrugged.

When DIA was going to attack the army, three greandes were seen being tossed at her.

Yanhe gasped in surprise when she saw her friends: Yuezheng Ling and Longya, Luo Tianyi, Xin Hua, Stardust and Xhang Chuchu, along with the newly reocvered Zhiyu Moke, Mo Qingxian and Yuescheng King.

"My friends!!" Yanhe cried when she saw them all alive.
"We're glad you're safe." Qingxian said.
"I'n relieved to see you all safe and sound."
"Alright, friend stealer!" Ling shouted. "Give us back Zhanyin Lorra!!"

DIA growled when she felt something tackle her to the ground.

Piko was holding her to the ground.

"YOU DON'T DESERVE TO HURT MY FRIENDS!!" Piko screamed.

"PIKO?!" EVERYONE felt surprised. Piko was NEVER angered by something.

<UTATANE PIKO>
<HACK OR SPARE...? HACK OR SPARE...?>

"Why isn't DIA hurting Piko?" Miki asked confusedly.
"That's it!" Something came to Yuki's mind.
"What is it, Yuki?" Oliver got his friend's attention.
"Piko CANNOT be hacked at all." Yuki answered. "He was made as a failsafe. He cannot be threatened by a virus or a hacking robot."
"Even if he's a discontinued voicebank?!" Moke was shocked.
"Yes." Yuki nodded. "Piko is like an antivirus to us."
"Why would a hacking robot kidnap an antivirus?" Ritsu asked.
"NO MORE QUESTIONS!!!" Rin and Yuki shouted.

Piko was hesitating to stab DIA with the knife. He didn't want to hurt anyone. But he felt like he had no choice.

"Lorra... Gomennasai..." Tears fell down the boy's eyes, however, Fukase went to Piko and grabbed the knife for him.

"Do you want me to do it... Utatane?" Fukase said.

Piko nodded and stood aside.

Fukase stabbed DIA in Lorra's heartcore. Lorra's body was going insane with so many 0s and 1s surrounding her.

The team braced themselves and everyone who was unconscious for the explosion of 0s and 1s. And everything went white.
