When Kun had entered, Zain honestly didn't know how the latter would react. He seed to be on the fence a lot when certain situations arose and wanted Zain to stay quite a great deal. This was why Zain hadn't acted aggressively from the beginning.
However, Shark was a completely different story. He was a person who liked to take charge and do things his way. When taking the crystals, Zain imagined many scenarios, and this was one of them, aning he needed to act fast.
Shark's eyes had caught on to the missing crystal and started to widen. He opened his mouth, looking ready to say sothing, but Zian was one step ahead.
'Cobra, Attack!' Zain thought.
The room wasn't a particularly large one, and imdiately Cobra went from one side, and this ti, he didn't only give the order to Cobra as Skittle was moving from the other side as well.
Shark carried small blades on him, and taking them out, he was ready to defend himself, but Cobra was unexpectedly too fast and had already made a cut on his shoulder and threw him towards Skittle, who went to punch him on the other side. However, Cobra reacted fast enough against the latter and grabbed Skittles' punch by the wrist.
'This superhuman, is it even faster than before...but how?' Shark was stunned at Cobra's increase in strength.
However, he soon regained his composure and was ready to begin the counterattack, and a small room like the one they were in was perfect for him to do sothing against Cobra.
'I'll just need to get rid of the easy one first!' Shark thought as he ignored Cobra going for an attack on Skittle.
"What did I say about trying to hurt my friends?" Zain shouted and kicked Shark directly in the stomach, sending him through the door, which broke off its hinge instantly upon impact.
"Sh*t, Sh*t, Sh*t, what is going on!" Kun shouted. "Why did you suddenly just attack him like that?"
"Shark is strong, and I needed to get the upper hand," Zain replied, pulling out his sword and walking forward.
"What? Wait! Don't kill Shark. He's not a bad guy! I'm sure we can talk about this, don't attack. Let talk to him!" Kun pleased, pulling on Zain's sleeve.
"I'm just trying to survive. I don't know how he would have reacted to seeing us do that. I can't put myself in a disadvantageous situation anymore. We need to know who he's working for." Zain shook his head.
He turned his head, only to find Shark was no longer there. Zain frowned and quickly ran out of the room, he climbed up onto the backstage and pulled the curtain away while his two zombies followed him. Here he saw Shark in the centre of the seating area, which had mostly been cleared to be made as a sparring area by Kun earlier that day.
However, Shark wasn't alone. Fingers, Pink, and Jelly, were all next to him.
"Zain has decided to betray us, which isn't really a surprise for ," Shark said and revealed the reason behind the commotion to the others. "He has stolen the crystals we have been collecting and has just attacked . So now we can see his true colours, I knew he was working for the other side."
"Other side?" Zain frowned. "Do the people next to you even know why you are collecting Crystals or who you talk to daily on your radio device? If anyone is hiding sothing, then it's clearly you.
"Those crystals, why have you been collecting them, and why didn't you tell anyone, what they could do, how they could make us stronger?" Zain asked.
The others around Shark were confused, and their silence was making him seem guiltier.
"I have done everything I can to protect everyone. I have shared all the information I have with everyone. Because of , everyone has survived this long. I have no clue what crystal does, and you shouldn't care either!" Shark shouted.
"Because of , we have survived. When I say jump, you are ant to ask how high! That is how we will survive this world."
Hearing this speech, Zain smiled once again.
"I'm sorry, I guess I'm just the type of person who would rather ask why we are jumping."
Since it didn't look like Shark would answer, Zain ordered Combra to move and go on the attack again. Instantly, the undead ran across the stage and leapt onto the floor, and the mont his feet touched the ground, he charged forward.
Reacting much faster this ti, Shark lifted a large round shield off the ground using his foot and caught it mid-air, stopping the Cobra's blades just in ti. Then shoving it forward, he caused Cobra to stumble and go off balance.
Seeing the opening, Shark moved the shield to the side and was ready to thrust with his dagger until he saw a large sword coming down and hitting his blade straight on, nearly knocking it out of Shark's hand.
Imdiately, he leapt back and retreated.
'To fight against Zain alone on my own is tough enough, but to fight against the Superhuman at the sa ti is going to be nearly impossible to win.'
"Everyone, we have to get rid of him. I won't be able to beat him on my own," Shark shouted and ordered the others.
Looking at their faces, it seed like they were all unsure about acting either. This enraged Shark, and he instantly let out his frustration.
"I was with you all from the beginning. I helped you multiple tis. But, if you stay and stick with Zain, then he will have you all killed. Don't you understand? He only cares about himself, and soon he will do sothing that will get you all killed."
After the passionate shout from their leader, Fingers was the first one to act.S. Still rembering what Zian had done to him. He picked up a long sword that needed two hands to wield and took a fighting stance.
And seeing him pick up the weapons, Pink and Jelly also made up their minds and were ready to act as well.
"He was our first friend. You are a new friend." Jelly said. It was one of the first tis Zain heard him speak, and now he knew why they didn't bring Jelly out with them.
"Cobra, you deal with Shark, and I'll deal with the others," Zain ordered.
Imdiately, Cobra started to go in. Zain was confident in his abilities, especially since the forr could also dodge attacks. This ant he also had a survival instinct, not just fighting unless ordered otherwise.
Now seeing that Fingers was the first one coming toward him, Zain was ready to act as well.
Before reaching, Fingers had swung the large sword wide and from the side. To avoid it, Zian ducked under the weapon rolling underneath. And raised his head, only to see a kick from Pink coming his way.
However, he easily grabbed it mid-air.
"You picked the wrong side." Zain lifted the hilt of his weapon and slamd it down on Pink's shin. It snapped imdiately with bones sticking out the other end, and Zain let go of her.
Just then, he heard Fingers running at him and swinging the sword. Zain turned around and saw the sword, but he knew he would be too slow to react or block it with his own weapon, so he lifted his forearm instead.
The sword pierced through his skin but stopped when it reached the bone. Blood was dripping down his forearm, and Zain thanked the advantage of not sensing pain.
"How...even a normal swing of a sword would have chopped your arm off. We have super strength as well!" Fingers' mouth was chittering as he said these words.
'I wasn't sure if my endurance would hold out, but it looks like my skin and bones have also hardened.' Ignoring Fingers' rambling, Zain thought while holding the side of the sword with his hands and managed to overpower the forr by pulling the sword out.
The next second, Fingers saw sothing else. The wound on Zain's forearm was beginning to heal right in front of his eyes!
"This...we chose to fight against a monster!" fingers replied.
By now, Jelly was behind Zian and had grabbed him with both hands. With his strength, Zain tried to pull out, but it wasn't easy.
'I can't overpower this guy...is he different from the others? Or is it just his natural strength that got multiplied? I guess just one point isn't enough.' Zain thought.
At that point, since his arms were in a tight grip and he could not use the sword, Zain dropped it. The whole ti, Zain had a trump card, and he just didn't want to use it until now.
Using all his strength, he could move his hands slightly and pull sothing out from his belt. Pointing it towards Jelly's right foot, he pulled the trigger.
-Bang!
A hole appeared in Jelly's foot, and blood and mass splashed everywhere. Although Jelly didn't feel pain, the loud bang caused him to loosen his grip slightly, and it was enough distraction for Zain to get out. Then, without hesitation, he pulled out the second pistol and clicked the safety switch.
"Alright, since you want to get rid of that badly. It's ti to start getting rid of you all." Zain said while pointing one gun at Pink and the other at Fingers.
"Wait!" Kun shouted just then, "I'll tell you everything! I know the answers you are looking for because and Shark...are working together. So please put the guns down! I'll talk."
