Level up Zombie

The expression on Sarah\'s face said it all. She couldn\'t hide her shock, taking a step back and grasping the back of a lab chair near her as if she had nearly fallen over.

It was clear evidence that she had met the demon, even though Zain had already seen the image of the two of them in his System vision.

"Zain… you said you killed him, but why did you kill him?" Sarah eventually asked. "Do you know what you have done?"

"Why did I kill him?" Zain replied with a bit of anger in his voice. X heard this and moved over from behind Zain, standing by Sarah\'s side just in case an attack was going to take place.

Seeing this, Zain backed off a bit.

"He tried to kill us. It\'s natural. Every demon we have met has tried to kill us. None of the Reborn or humans can even travel safely at night because of the demons. So how could you even ask me such a question of why did I kill him? Why don\'t you answer my question of why were you meeting with him? What were you two talking about?"

Sarah looked disinclined to answer, or perhaps she was still too shocked to respond based on everything she had just found out herself.

"If you killed him, then that means we have to act… will they still honor what we talked about? No, I doubt that. They\'re not that type." Sarah muttered to herself, but her words were heard clearly by everyone in the room.

"So it\'s true?" Sid asked. "You were really meeting with a demon… and one of these supernatural demons? And judging by the fact you aren\'t asking any questions, I guess that you already knew this, X?"

X didn\'t reply because it was the truth, and he thought the only person who could explain the whole situation was Sarah.

"Sid, you know everything I do is for the sake of humanity and the Reborn group. You have to trust me. If I was talking to the demon, then there is a good reason behind it," Sarah claimed.

"But Zain, what I can\'t undo are the actions that you decided to take. The demon, I can\'t believe he would have just attacked you. Even if the two of you confronted each other, he would have just stayed in his human form.

"Now I don\'t know what the demons will do, or what we will have to give to calm them down."

Zain didn\'t like the sound of that. It was almost like a suggestion. Was Sarah going to offer him up to the demons as a way to apologize for killing their leaders? Right now, there was still mistrust in the room.

"If the meeting really was for the sake of everyone, then why didn\'t you just tell everyone?" Zain asked.

"I was going to. I didn\'t have time. I just met with the demon. You just came back after running into him yourself, so you know that," she replied.

"You\'re lying," Zain said, clenching his fist. If he was going to go down anyway, then he might as well reveal everything. "This wasn\'t the first time you met with them. You met before, and still didn\'t inform anyone, so what are you trying to hide?"

Sarah felt like she was being pushed back into a corner from this and started to bite her fingernail. She had X on her side, but Sid was clearly on the fence, and what would happen if all of the Reborn found out about this before she had a chance to explain herself.

"Zain… how did you know that?" Sarah said. "That meeting I had with him was before you even joined the Reborn group, so it would have been impossible for you to know this information," Zain explained, looking directly at Sid.

"I had my doubts about you when you first came here, about your strength and knowledge, but are you actually working for the Dark Zombies? Are you on their side as a spy?" Sid asked, his eyes narrowing suspiciously.

The whole Reborn group knew about the Dark Zombies, as it was something Sarah didn\'t keep from the others since they had run into them a few times. Another group of Reborn zombies ran by the other person who had started all of this mess.

"So you\'re going to pin it all on me like that?" Zain smiled as he turned around to face Sid.

"Remember everything that was said today. Get the real answer from her, and then decide what to do. People should know the truth and get to make a decision for themselves. That\'s the best thing to do."

"The people who care about your own survival the most are you yourselves, not some scientist. They always force things upon us while caring about the bigger picture, claiming it\'s for the greater good. I don\'t know about you, but I would rather have control of my own life," Zain added firmly.

At that moment, Zain placed his hand on the ground, and it started to light up.

"X, Sid, both of you stop him from getting away. We will need him. I promise I\'ll tell you everything. Just stop, Zain!" Sarah shouted urgently.

Already having predicted that this would happen, Zain wasn\'t going to get into a fight with all of the Reborn. Instead, he had summoned ten zombies into the room around him, and immediately they spread out to attack Sid, X, and Sarah.

\'He can summon and control zombies…what is this? He really was hiding a lot of stuff from us?\' Sarah thought, shocked.

In that brief interaction, using his speed, Zain ran past all of them and continued, not slowing down, heading right for the exit. As he saw the door, with his momentum, he lifted his leg and kicked the door open, breaking it off its hinges.

Next was the barricaded wall, but with a single jump, Zain was able to clear it and land on the other side.

"I guess this is the end of my time with the Reborn group. The question is…what do I do now?" Zain wondered, looking around at the desolate wasteland that surrounded him.
