PARASITE

[https://i.imgur.com/yj43Vcjr.jpg]

Going back when the group is still together...

A mysterious car has fallen down to them, making Roxxy and Jody got separated from the boys.

Shortly summarized, they are now facing Soo-min.

The woman is standing with a menacing atmosphere towards them.

“ I didn't expect someone to steal our job though. The boss paid us a lot.---”

Jody doesn't wait for her to continue talking, she quickly lifts her finger up and shot Soo-min with air bullet as soon as she certain the Soo-min is the enemy.

!!!!!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Soo-min dodged, but still took a damaged to her leg.

“.....”

She doesn't moan...instead, she glared down to her wounds and then back to Jody.

Suddenly, she felt something is leaking out from her leg too.

Drip...Drip...Drip...Drip...

“...!!!!!! ”

As Jody looks down, she found that her leg is bleeding at the same spot she shot Soo-min.

However, Since Syd had already given her the aspect of steel before they split,  her wounds didn't severe as much as Soo-min.

“ What the hell?? ”

“... It seems like you ain't the talking type, huh?”

Soo-min doesn't show any signs of pain at all, even though she has the wounds on her leg.

And that confused Jody&Roxxy very much.

Because Jody felt the pain.

“ They call me ‘‘Parasite’’ that's all I'm going to tell you.”

As Soo-min is talking, they heard a noise of nails hitting down on things from the other side of the market.

Or to simply explained, they heard the sound of raining nails.

“.... My partner (Fitz) is a shy type though. His ability is not capable of showing off like me.”

Soo-min starts to approach them.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Jody shots another wave of air bullets at Soo-min.

She lifts her arms up to protect her face from the bullets.

Jody used this chance to move from the initial spot, same as Roxxy ...but

“ !!!!! ”

Drip...Drip...Drip...Drip...

The new wounds appear on her arms. Jody's eyes froze, All of what she did to Soo-min happens to her in return.

Splash! 

The blood is leaking out from her arms.

“ AAAAAHHH! ”

Jody moans.

“ Don't you understand, girl? This is ‘Parasite’ my ability. You girls are within my range now. And both of you are gonna die here.”

Soo-min lifts her arm up to check her wounds and continue speaking,

“ You guys are ability users too, I see. It's kinda brutal to handle both at once but ...it seems like your ability is to shoot something like a bullet out of your hand. Yes?”

“....” 

Jody doesn't say anything.

“ Hm...no reply, What a Lizard. All right. It doesn't matter at all. You're gonna face something worse than death if you still struggle~ ”

“ I don't care, bitch.”

!!!???

Cold runs down to both Soo-min & Jody's spines, an atmosphere has been changed.

A strange coldness came out of nowhere, it goes everywhere around them... Today is sunny, but it feels like they were in Alaska.

Glaring down to her feet, Soo-min saw that her legs are freezing by the Ice... That young girl is trying to freeze her from moving.

“ ... The Ice... It's you, young girl? ”

ZOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A huge Iceberg popping up behind Soo-min, it behaves itself like a wall.

“... This young girl... I didn't expect your power to be this powerful...”

She said.

“....”

Roxxy power is very strong... This is no doubt because she's well-trained.

“ Then better back off and die.”

Soo-min smirks, Roxxy gazed her eyes down to her own foot.

She saw that the Ice also froze her legs either. The same as Soo-min.

“ I see... I start to understand your ability a bit...”

Roxxy turns to Jody...

“ Jody, We have to work together to kill this bitch. It seems like her ability range is very short. That's why she is forced to show herself to us.”

Jody nods down. Replied back.

“ Looks like her ability is to mirror the damage she took and return to a person who does it.”

“... Ho, you're pretty quick-witted... I thought I would have to explain the whole thing.”

“ Don't underestimate me, kid.”

Jody replied.

“.....” 

Roxxy felt that Jody is satirizing her, but she kept that to herself. Because they're facing a bigger problem right now.

Soo-min pulled up her pistol, she shoots it towards Roxxy... While throwing herself behind the car, to take a cover.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! 

However, those 2 can manage to evade them.

Jody takes a cover behind the chair in a book shop, Roxxy behind the cashier of the Ice cream shop.

Soo-min shot up to the big wood sign above their heads, it drops down and crashes to the care she's hiding, making her cover even tough and hard to destroy. 

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! 

the gunshots coming from both Soo-min and Jody sides.

The bullet pierces through the chair wood Jody's hiding, destroyed it.

Because Jody is in the book shop, she pulls the big bookshelf down to the floor, using it as a wall.

Jody then hides behind it.

Still, Soo-min keeps firing to Jody's cover. The slivers flying all over her head.

Glaring down Jody sees that some part of the floor is already covered by the Ice, it's slowly becoming a skating rink.

“... That woman can return the injuries she got back to the opponent... How do I defeat her?”

While Jody is thinking, she heard a sound of sparking crystals from Roxxy.

Whoosh...

when she turns to her she found that Roxxy is summoning out an Ice Spear.

“....”

Roxxy glares back at Jody like “What are you looking at? ” before proceeds to thrash it towards Soo-Min's direction.

CRASH!!! 

it penetrates through Soo-min's cover, luckily, she bends her head aside so it didn't hit her skull.

Soo-min turns to look, finding that it is a sharp crystal of Ice spear...

She can feel the coldness from it... Like it has just been brought out from Alaska.

She gulped.

“.... That girl (Roxxy)... She's scary... I haven't underestimated her at first but also haven't expected this Ice to be deadly...”

On the other side, Jody keeps spamming the shots to Soo-min's cover.

“ No need to do that, Jody.” 

“....why? ”

“ Wait for it.”

“.....”

Bang! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Soo-min shoots back while looking down at the wristwatch...

Like she's waiting for something to happen.

“ 5 minutes....” she said.

“ Alright... I should change the spot. That blonde girl just keeps shooting... If I stay here too long, the cover would have blown up for sure.”

Thinking like that, Soo-min slowly crouches away from the cover.

She taps her hand to the shelf's wood to hold&balance the movement.

She can do it without being noticed by them flawlessly, Unless...

When She's about to remove her hand from the shelf, it stuck.

Not only that, but her hand loses all senses... She could not feel the texture of the wood nor the temperature it has...

Because her hand is frozen and it stuck with the wood shelf.

“ !!!!!! ”

She stunned.

It doesn't stop at that...

Because when she actually realized, half of Soo-min's face is already freezing.

“ Hggg ?! ”

Looking for the reason why this happened, Soo-Min found that it is coming from that spear Roxxy threw.

The coldness of the crystal Ice spear is flowing around, freezing everything around it.

While that, Jody changed her cover to hide next to Roxxy.

“... What have you done? ” She asked.

“Some may think that my ability is to summon an Ice, they ain't wrong... Just half correct. Because the heart of my ability is to ‘Decrease’ the temperature of everything around me. What I've done is just freezing the entire spot that bitch is hiding.” 

Said Roxxy.

“... The ability to decrease the temperature...so that doesn't mean you can only summon the Ice...but you can literally do anything that can decrease the object's temperature... Yes?”

Roxxy nods.

“ Damn it! I'm stuck!! ”

Soo-min tried to pull her hand out, she can, however, her fingers start to rip off by the coldness.

“ Alright then... You want this, huh?!...”

Soo-Min harshly snatches her hand off the cover.

That makes 2 of her fingers being ripped off.

SPLASH!!!

The same occurs to Roxxy, her 2 fingers also tear down and fell down to the ground.

“????!!!!! ”

It shocks both of them.

“...Tch-- that bitch... She's fearless??”

Roxxy moans.

“ Whatever we do to her...also happen to us... Shit... She pulls her finger out of the frozen Ice... Roxxy...Are you still alright?...”

This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

Jody asked.

“ Yeah. I've been worse...” 

“ You said like Syd...Now I'm wondering how you guys actually grow up?”

“Heh.”

Roxxy grins.

“ You should better be wondering about yourself, Jody. Syd's buff is about to run out and we won't have any protection armor.”

“....”

Jody agrees. Syd had given their skins an endurance tier of steel before coming in here. 

Right now, it's passed for a while since they had come in... And if his ability runs out, they will no longer have an advantage.

So they've decided to do it before it's too late.

Jody jumps over the cover, sprinting right to Soo-min's cover with her hands fully reloaded with the bullets.

She jumps over, aims her finger towards the position that she thought Soo-min is hiding...( The car )

The same goes with Roxxy, they both went for Soo-min's cover but from a different direction.

But they don't find her.

Soo-min is not here... 

“ Where did she go?! ”

Jody looks around and finds nothing.

Roxxy then realized something important, An idea of where did Soo-min goes.

“ JODY! IN THE CAR----”

But too late.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Bullets are shot right into Roxxy's waist from inside the car.

“ Roxxy!!!!!!”

Jody points her fingers to the car. At the same time, Soo-min jumps out through its window.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

They shot each other, Soo-min and Jody both got thrown away by the thrust.

Jody crashes into the wall, Soo-min on the ground, both bleeding, especially Soo-min, She's bleeding heavily because of the air bullet, even Jody doesn't shot her in the important spots like head or stomach, it still hurts.

On the other hand, Jody fully got hit right to her belly, her stomach, and her knee.

But thanks to Syd's ability. The bullet couldn't go through her flesh, they didn't reach her skeleton.

Drip, Drip, Drip, Drip, Drip,...

The wounds she just shot Soo-min on the shoulder appear on her. 

Jody bit her lips.

“---Tch... Damn it... She was hiding in the car and waited for us?...”

“....”

Jody slowly carried herself up.

“.... Shit... These are not just ordinary kids...I'm sure I shot her in the stomach...why ain't she down yet?!...”

It confuses Soo-min so much, the fact that even she just shot Jody in the important spots, turns out that Jody is still fine, however, Jody gained more injuries than Soo-min but overall, Soo-min's pain is greater and more intense than her.

“ Gotcha....Bitch.”

?!!?!

Suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind the shoulder.

Yes. It's Roxxy Barrett.

Turning back, Roxxy is still fine too. Her stomach is bleeding though.

*Tap*

Soo-min saw that something is tumbling to the ground...

Menacing...Menacing...Menacing...

“Ekk?!....”

It was her frozen ‘Ear’.

It was so cold that her ear ripped out.

“ WHAT THE HELL?!... MY EAR?!...”

“ Minus three degrees celsius.”

Roxxy whispered to her.

“ ?!...”

“ You know what that means?”

Roxxy grins before continues.

“ The freezing point of blood.”

“......”

Soo-min is panting heavily.

Jody saw that the Ice Roxxy just froze Soo-min's shoulder appears on Roxxy shoulder too. However, that's not the most important thing that Jody realized.

“ YOU BASTARD!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY EAR?!!! ”

Soo-min turns back and punches Roxxy in the face but got stopped by the sharp Ice Roxxy created to cover it.

TSH---!!!

The Ice is so durable that Soo-min breaks her own fingers.

“ *Screaming* YOU FUCKING BRAAAT!!!!”

Her fist is bleeding, so as Roxxy. She bit her lips because of the pain that is shared between Soo-min and her is so painful.

(... Even I have Syd's ability covering my body... The pain is still intense...)

She thought.

A wound appears on Roxxy's fist, but that's not the matter for now. She will finish what they have started.

Roxxy froze Soo-min's shoulder, the Ice starts expanding down her body.

Roxxy grabbed her gun and froze it immediately, then threw it away.

“ If I kill you, I'll die... Then I'll just freeze you. Because I won't be affected by my own ability coldness. I'll just peel it out later. This is the end for you now. Bitch--”

Unexpectedly, Roxxy's fingers exploded.

*Explosion sound effect*

“!!!!????”

They were shocked at what happened.

“ ROXXY!?!? ”

“AAAAAAHHHHH?!...?!... MY FINGER?! EXPLODED?! ”  She screams.

Soo-min slightly smiles.

At that moment, they knew something was wrong... What is Soo-min is planning to do?

*Tap*...

“ !?....”

Roxxy saw something fell down from the smoke... 

“ What the...fuck? What is it?... A bug?...”

Deeming carefully, it was an orange insect robot, it's dead anyway, however... Gross as fuck.

Abruptly... Another explosion sound coming from Jody.

“ ?!?!....”

Her knee exploded, created a big wound on it, leaking out her blood.

“ AAAAAAHHHH!!!! ”

She instantly collapsed down.

“ What is happening?!.. Where's all that from?! ”

*Punch*

Roxxy got punched in the face.

“ I have already told you, huh? This is why they call my ability ‘Parasite’. It's too late to fix anything now. I have put ‘them’ on you since I stepped in... Heheheh... Although they reached you (Roxxy) faster than her (Jody), In the end, your entire body will explode.”

Jody slowly opened her eyes, she also saw the same Insect laying down, dead, on the ground too.

An Idea clicked in.

“ Roxxy! That insect!... That Insect is her ability! They have been stuck up with us since the beginning! I don't know If I'm right but it needs time to grow before they explode! While that, it will be the one that creates the same wounds we do to her! ”

Jody shouted.

“... You...”

Soo-min turns back to Jody.

“ Well, since you're all gonna die...no one can help you now... You are pretty smart to figure out what actually happened... Blonde girl... Oh, I have some suggestions. Don't think about finding that Insect. Because they are already under your skin. They are like a spore of flowers. They take a time to grow up. And as they've reached their final form. They exploded. That's all.”

Soo-min said,

“ I'm certain to tell you this because it's too late to fix anything now. I wanna see the desperate face of yours! what' cha gonna do? Heh”

She chuckles.

“ YOU BITCHHHH!!!! ”

Roxxy screams out with her full anger.

Her face actually changed like she's no longer the cold Roxxy. Jody saw nerves on Roxxy's face like she's about to explode... She's very mad...extremely mad.

(... What the?...)

Jody thought of that time Roxxy was before the fight began.

She loses her temper again? 

The sharp Ice spears come up from the floor. They go right for Soo-min.

She dodges them and uses her left energy to run away from both of them.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jody tried her best to stop Soo-min.

However, She missed because of the pain that shakes her hands. 

Actually, Just lifting a hand up and aiming at her is hard enough for Jody.

“ *Cough* *Cough*...”

She coughs out blood.

“... Shit... Syd's ability is already run out...”

She knows it. Because her leg's bone is breaking.

Jody is panting heavily.

“ ROXXY! SYD'S BUFF IS OUT!”

Her voice didn't react to her. Right now Roxxy is like a mad dog.

She doesn't even care about her injuries. She doesn't even care if her wounds will get bigger and leaking out more blood... Like she loses all of her consciousness (but she's not).

“ I FUCKING KILL YOU! BITCH, I SWEAR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! YOU FUCKING PUSSY!”

Roxxy screams out with anger.

She's hardly hobbling towards Soo-min's direction. Blood spilled out by the direction she walked.

“ ROXXY! CALM DOWN! HEY! LISTEN TO ME! DON'T LET ANGER GETS CONTROL OVER YOU! ”

“ WHO ARE YOU TO SAY THAT TO ME?! HUH??? I WILL KILL THAT BITCH AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME!!! ”

“ Shit... This is fucked up...”

Jody got up from the floor, her leg is shaking. She slowly approached Roxxy, however, because she's rushing, the disease begins to take place.

C r a c k!

Her right leg fully breaks down, Jody collapsed down moaning in pain...but she needs to keep going, or else Roxxy will fall for another Soo-min's plan.

While Jody faced to ground, she noticed that the Ice on the floor starting to fade away. Jody lifts her face up...she found that the Ice around Roxxy or even the Ice spears are melting and they disappear... Faster than they should be...

That makes Jody knows immediately

“... This... Her ability is getting weaker If she's angry?! ”

(... Fuck... This is not good! ...I need to do something! ...)

“ WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE THE INSECTS EXPLODE AGAIN! ”

She shouts.

But the result is the same. Roxxy didn't listen to her.

Jody then decides to haul herself up, getting closer to Roxxy. She uses this chance to jump at Roxxy, using her own body to stop her, making both of them collapse down.

“ JODY?!... WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING! ARE YOU STUPID?!... JUST A CIVILIAN HOW DARE---”

S L A P!

Jody fully slapped Roxxy in the face. Calling back her conscious.

“....”

“ LISTEN TO ME! I ADMIT, I'M JUST A FUCKING ORDINARY PERSON! NOT LIKE YOU GUYS. BUT YOU NEED TO CALM THE FUCK DOWN OR ELSE WE'LL BOTH FUCKING DIE! YOU HEAR ME?! ”

S L A P!

Jody slaps her twice.

And it worked. It actually calls back Roxxy. She came back to be the old her.

“ Your ability will get weaker If you're mad, huh?!... Then Be cool! If Syd was here... He would already come up with some whack-ass plan! HAVEN'T YOU SAID YOU'RE PROUD TO BE HIS BROTHER!? ARE YOU REALLY WANT TO PROTECT HIM?! THEN ACT LIKE ONE! IF YOU CONTINUE BEING LIKE THIS, YOU WOULDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OUT FROM HERE!  ”

“.....”

Jody grabs Roxxy's collar.

“ ... You said it yourself that we should work together. Then Shut the fuck up. Stop screaming. And fucking hear me out...”

Jody then told Roxxy her plan.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“ Shit... They're still breathing... Why are they so tolerated?”

Soo-min carries herself into the construction area, this is the spot she had discussed with Fitz that they would regroup over here if they have already killed the enemy.

“ That brat took my gun...however...”

Soo-min has a spare.

She has another one hanging in the shirt.

C L I C K.

It was fully reloaded M1911.

She has only 7 bullets to fire.

“ I should do anything...at all cost... They must die before me... ”

Because If she died before her ability ‘Parasite’ attain the final stage, they will survive.

In fact, this is common among the ability users. The only way to get yourself out of the work of the enemy's ability is to either kill them or made them no longer continue fighting.

Soo-min lays her back against the concrete wall. 

Her injuries are so bad that she thought she probably couldn't make it out of here alive.

The Parasite she had implanted in those 2 is the only hope now.

She looked at her wristwatch, it takes 5 minutes for her ability to grow...now there are only 3 minutes left.

Suddenly, she heard the footsteps.

Needless to say, they are Jody and Roxxy.

!

“... Shit... They're here?... How?...do they know where I am? ....”

Gazing her eyes down, she found the answer why.

All of the Ice that is covered her body...starts to meltdown, making the floor around there full of water.

“... The Ice?!... it melts?!...”

Not only that but because of the freezing blood also melts, which releases the smell of blood out.

“....”

As all the ice turns into water, it then groups on the floor.

C r a c k.

Suddenly... It became a crystal again, but this time, it produced a crack sound... It breaks.

“ Shit! ”

Soo-min quickly changed her position, but too late.

“ Over there! She's around that construction site! I heard the cracking sound! ”

“ They used the Icebreaking sound to find me?! ”

The temperature around Soo-min drops drastically to the coldness level of a blizzard.

This is bad... It's big fucking trouble...

She gets to her new cover. Around 5 meters away from the initial spot, with the M1912 in her hand, ready to shoot out.

She's waiting, observing what they'll do.

“ If I show myself out right now. That Blonde girl will definitely shoot back... "

“....”

Roxxy looks at Jody, she nods to her.

By the look on Roxxy's face, It's like she's not sure if they are actually going to do this.

“ Do it.”

Jody said.

They carefully approached the construction site. Roxxy holds the gun tightly, Same as the air bullets on Jody's finger.

“....”

(...The game here is ‘‘Patience” huh?...fine. Do what you want! I better stay still... Because my ability ‘Parasite’ is growing by the time passed by. The more time you waste, the less chance of survival you got... Plus...even my ability will reflect back the same wounds you shoot me, but If I can't bear the pain but she can...I'll probably die for real...I wonder how could they get me off the cover?...)

Soo-min thought.

“....”

Step. Step. Step. Step. Step.

Gulp.

“....”

“....”

“....”

“....”

“ hm? ”

Something happened to Soo-min's nose... She started to notice that somehow... It's harder to breathe than before... But she doesn't care... She still put a focus on those 2.

“....”

“....”

“....”

Soo-min breathes deeper and deeper, while the coldness is getting more intense.

“... Wait ...this ain't right... I-I can't breathe!!! I CAN'T BREATHE AT ALL!  My nose! My nose is frozen! What the fuck?! ”

Soo-min tries breathing harder, but the more she tried, the less air she got. What's going on? She feels like she's running out of breathing! It was like something is pressing on her chest.

While Soo-min is in the middle of new trouble she's facing.

“....Jody... I haven't thought of that...”

Roxxy said in admiration voice, she also helps Jody standing in 1 leg.

“ Be prepared...She's about to come out now... I control the flow of ‘air’ around the construction site to come toward us and stop the air from the other area to replace in... In other words... Wherever she's hiding... The oxygen has been drawn away from her... She can't stand any longer. Even she's a contract killer or whoever the fuck she is...She can't endure her own instinct. Combined with your coldness... We even make it's even harder for her to breathe.”

Still, Jody also receives an effect of coldness from Roxxy, but If compare with Soo-min right now, she's far better than her.

(... This woman...)

“ Fuck! I can't---- breathe!.... Damn it!!!”

Gasping heavily, Soo-min taps her hand against the concrete wall, trying to get the air inside her lungs as much as possible...but it is useless. Because Jody has drawn all the air away from her.

“ If I still hide like this! ... I'll actually blackout!!! FUCK! ”

Soo-min has no choice left unless to show herself.

She showed up from the cover and quickly shot Jody.

However, that was calculated.

Jody managed to drop herself down and fought back with a dramatic amount of shots.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

“ What the fuck is that power?! Ain't she run out of bullets?!... But I don't see her having any weapon...except...”

!!!!

Soo-min finally realized.

She had figured that out, as she looked at the cut on a concrete wall.

She sees no bullets, combined to the fact that it's hard to breathe over here.

“.... That blonde girl's ability... Is to control the Air?!...”

“ Yes.”

“ Ekk?!...”

Someone spoke to her from above the cover, it was Jody Johanson.

“ My ability let me be able to control the movement of the air.”

“ YOU BITCH!!!”

Soo-min lifts her hand up to shoot Jody, but...

“!!!?... My hands!!! They are freezing?!...”

Freezing with the M1911, No doubt, it was Roxxy who did this.

She approached Soo-min from the other direction.

Note that ‘Parasite’ is still activated. Roxxy hand is also freeze, the same as Soo-min. But she didn't get the effect of frostbite though.

Right now, the atmosphere around Jody changed. Soo-min noticed it, Roxxy also noticed it.

Jody Johanson is standing, emitting a threatening aura, her eyes full of coldness were glaring to Soo-min from above. As if she were a god playing with a lamb. There's no sympathy, nor humanity in her eyes.

Soo-min doesn't even know If Jody actually sees her as a fellow human in the first place.

She can't do anything unless hoping for her ability ‘Parasite’ to grow faster...which...is impossible.

[https://i.imgur.com/yj43Vcjr.jpg]

“....” 

All Roxxy did is observing a menacing aura and dramatic pressure from Jody.

It's the dark determination. A merderous intent.

“Now we come to the final part of the story. Where.I.Blow.your.god.damn. head.off”

Said Jody, pointing her finger with a spinning air towards Soo-min's face.

“... Ooh...R-Really?... H-how? I wonder?”

Soo-min replied with a shaken voice,

“ If you shoot my face, then the same will happen to you.”

She grins, however, it quickly disappears as Jody speaks.

“ Oh, I didn't say I will shoot your face.”

“....”

“ I said I will blow your head off. It didn't suggest that I only need to shoot you, did it?”

“....”

“ It just came to my attention. That time when Roxxy froze about half of your face. I noticed that one of your ears fell down because of frostbite, wasn't it, Roxxy?”

“ You're goddamn right.”

Roxxy replied, still pointing her gun towards Soo-min.

“ So it gets me thinking... If your ability is to reflect the damaged you receive back to the one who did it. Why didn't Roxxy's ear fell down too? Now, I see from here... Her ears are still fine.”

“ !!!! ”

Jody grins, she continues.

“ So, I concluded. All these wounds your ability did to me...or her. It's all the damaged that we have ‘Directly’ done at you. Shot you by my air-bullets, froze you by the Ice, punched you in the face... But that frostbite, it's the side effect of the Ice itself. It has nothing to do with Roxxy. It was an ‘indirect’ injury from her... So your ability won't take place on Roxxy but return the frostbite back to the Ice itself which...the result is nothing.”

“......”

Soo-min stunned. She has nothing to argue back. Her weakness has already been figured out.

Jody brings her emotionless face closer to Soo-min.

“ So when I say I will blow your head off. I mean I will do in my own ‘Indirect’ way.”

BANG! BANG! 

Sound of the air bullets, firing above Soo-min's head.

As she glared up, She found a big Ice berg connected by a thin Ice line, hanging above her head.

She immediately knows that Roxxy created them.

Jody's bullet just cut that thin Ice line, making a massive Iceberg falling down above Soo-min's head.

And that's the last thing she saw...before she died.

C R A S H!

A giant Iceberg landing on Soo-min's body. Crushing her dead as alive.

And as expected, Nothing happens to both of them. But the Iceberg, it crashes because Soo-min's ability shares the crushing damage back to the one who crushed her, the Iceberg.

“....”

Roxxy observed that in amazed... She had a mixed feeling between admiration and being threatened.

(... This woman...Jody Johanson...)

She reminds Roxxy of ‘Someone’ she's familiar with.

Sccccccrrrrrrraaaahhhhhhhhtttccchhh

A strange voice coming out from those 2 bodies.

They were the robot Insect.

When the owner dies, they're no longer active. They all like a bee that just got smoked, they all lay down the floor, died.

“....”

Suddenly, there's the sound of someone calling them from outside.

“.... JODY?!... ROXXY?!... WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!...”

It's Syd Barrett.

“ OVER HERE!”

Roxxy quickly replies back.

As they came in, the boys look badly injured the same as them.

Jody saw that there are nails and knives sticking on Syd's body, his blood all over his redshirt.

This means they've also went through another enemy too.

But the girl, Sally Salmacis, is safe anyway.

“ I'm glad you can win them... You look...well-beaten up...” 

Said Jody.

“ The same goes for you. Shiiieet... You broke your leg? That looks...painful...”

Syd replied back, he approached Jody and helped her walking by carrying her arm over his neck, his arm around her waist, making himself as a holder for Jody to walk.

“ Oh jeez... Paethai... You did this?”

Toshi is carrying Sally, looking at Soo-min's corpse under the Iceberg.

“ Ice is mine. But the idea is from Jody.”

“ Sheiiiit...Jody, Really? You're fucking cruel, you know that?”

Syd said to her.

“ It's a long story... I'll tell you what happened...but first, we should get outta here.”

She said.
