Ziro suddenly stopped moving and fell to the ground.

'What's going on?' Ziro tried to get up.
'What are these voices in my head?'
[Enabling Master Protocol.]
Ziro's body was facing the red suit. He saw red suit crawling to the side to grab his gun.

Ziro's body moved and jerked in a strange motion.
The red suit grabbed his gun and fired at Ziro.
"Heh!" Red suit smirked as he saw Ziro's body had disappeared. "Hahaha!"
"What's so funny?"
Red suit's smirk vanished when he heard Ziro's voice. He looked up at the ceiling and found ZIro hanging upside down.
Red suit immediately tried to fire his gun again, but ZIro jumped on him and kicked him in the face.
Ziro grabbed red suit and raised him with one hand, "Who are you? And what do you want?"
"Heh! Like I would tell the likes of you," red suit took out a knife from his belt and stabbed Ziro in the face.
"Brain is the weakest point for system hosts. So no matter how strong you are or how fast you regenerate. If your brain is injured, then you are no different from the rest of us."
Ziro threw red suit on the wall and plucked out the knife from his face.
Red suit looked at Ziro and saw his wound disappear with no sign of blood.
"Why?! Why don't you die!"
Ziro threw the knife on the red suit's chest and said, "Because I am already dead?"
Ziro walked to the red suit to ask him more questions— but, a launcher came from the window and exploded in the room.
Ziro's room and the upper floors above Ziro's room had fallen down. The swimming pool from the terrace started leaking water all around the house, and the cracks grew wider and wider. It was a matter of time before the entire house collapsed.
Ziro was thrown in the living room, under the slabs of rocks. As the launcher had exploded on him, his entire body had ripped apart.
It took a while for his body to fully regenerate and gain its senses back. It wasn't as though Ziro was immune to damage; he could feel the unbearable pain, and he was enduring without even letting out a scream.
He threw the slabs aside and stood up.
His main concern was Alina, so he looked up at the closet of his room, and it sighed in relief after seeing it was still intact with some cracks on it.
The reason it was still intact is because red suit had covered it with a plasma shield. Although he did it to protect himself from the explosion, without knowing Alina was in the closet.
[System Overload!]
[Multiple Functions Failure.]
[Unable To Connect With the Host.]
Ziro couldn't hear all these voices, but he could feel a shadowed and muffled voice in his head. He glanced around to see the stairs were broken. His eyes shined in rage as he jumped on the pillar and used it as a support to reach his room.
Red suit and Ziro glared at each other, then suddenly, red suit dashed at the open side and jumped out.
Ziro followed him but stopped at the edge and saw red suit holding a cord that was attached to a huge six-winged copter hovering in the sky.
Some men jumped out of the copter wearing parachutes and grey suits, then started firing charged bullets at Ziro and the house.
It was so high in the air that Ziro wouldn't be able to reach it even if he tried to jump. Ziro glanced around, and he spotted red suit's gun lying on the ground. He immediately picked it up and charged it to 100%.
"Don't bother trying it! These guns can only be used by the host it is designed for. And it's—"
Ziro fired the gun and razed the men that came in the path.
Red suit was baffled and petrified. He went inside the copter and grabbed a launcher to fire at Ziro. But when he came out and pointed the launcher at the house, Ziro wasn't there.
When red suit went inside the copter, Ziro grabbed the sword and climbed over the broken terrace. He took a run up and jumped to the nearest men and stabbed him. Then used that man's body to jump over another man.
He was jumping while dodging the bullets and killed all the men. But before he could reach the copter, red suit came out with a launcher in his hand.
Red suit smirked at Ziro and fired multiple launchers at Ziro. Ziro was able to dodge some, but dodging in the air was hard, and he was no expert in fighting in the first place.
Ziro was just reflecting on what his grandfather trained him, and following his instinct with superhuman powers.
Ziro threw the sword as soon as red suit fired another shot, and it exploded in the copter, shattering the back area of the copter. The copter became unstable and started to fall down.
Ziro grabbed the falling copter and used it as a trampoline to jump higher in the air. He was able to catch a glance of red suit trying to escape from the copter and launched himself at the copter.
Ziro passed through the copter's door and grabbed red suit, then threw him out of the other door.
