away by a full face visor. Reflecting the morning sun, their armor glimmered of black and gold. The sight slightly blinded Zack. When he got a better look at them, he found their appearance to be similar to black diamonds.
    “Corruption target analysis complete. Initializing Combat Mode. Commencing attack,” spoke one of the black entities.
    Zack cringed. “What I would give to have these things disappear right now,” he uttered under his breath. Fear was creeping up his spine like a venomous spider. What floored him further was what Lambda did next.
    “Command acknowledged. Threat level thirty one percent. Appear, Chaos Weapon 26: Executioner. Now engaging.”
    It was spectacular. Zack could barely follow what was happening. In less than a second, Lambda sprung from the rooftop and smashed into one of the hostile AI units. When Zack looked closer, he could see that Lambda had deployed a much larger weapon then the one he had seen previously. The weapon’s blade was double the width of Lambda’s arm and had a row of bladed teeth on both sides, like a chainsaw. The monstrous weapon rested in the gut of the black AI unit in front of her. With an effortless flick of her wrist, she flung the AI she pierced behind her as if it weighed less than a piece of paper. Seconds later it exploded into billions of black bits. The display was mesmerizing.
    Lambda turned in the direction of the remaining AI units. “Enemy numbers reduced. Four targets remaining.” Her voice remained cold and robotic.
    Zack couldn’t help but feel a sense of terror amidst his fascination. After all, Lambda was taking out high end Combat AI units from what Zack could tell. From their design and presence, he got the impression that what Lambda was doing was nothing short of unbelievable.
    The remaining AI units now appeared to be confused by the development befalling them. Their actions mimicked those of poorly choreographed dancers floating in the air.
    “Regrouping. Battle capability-” The remaining four units suddenly stopped mid-sentence as sparks began to emit from their pointed heads.
    Zack stared in astonishment. Are they overloading!?
    Lambda didn’t let them get another chance to make a move.
    “Continuing assault. Appear, Chaos Weapon 19: Ouroboros,” echoed Lambda’s cold voice. As she spoke, the long blade on her hand suddenly vanished, quickly replaced by a long black whip. The whip coiled like a dark serpent and surged with red lightning. In just a blink of an eye, three of the four remaining AI units lost their heads. The resulting explosions rocked the roof of the school as they came crashing down.
    Falling to the ground from the sudden assault, Zack could barely bring himself to stand once more. He didn’t even see Lambda move her arm in the last attack.
    “Mission objective failed. Target beyond containment-” The last unit was then sliced into dozens of pieces by Lambda’s serpent whip of lightning. All Zack saw was several sudden flashes of light, followed by the black bits of the exploding AI.
    Zack just stared above. As he watched Lambda’s hair flap in the wind, he felt another pinch in his head as he suddenly thought Lambda’s hair was blonde. He blinked twice, and shook his head. In the end, there she was. A cyber maiden of death, clad in black. All he could think at that moment was just how alluring and terrifying she looked.
    What is she? All of this is far too real and . . . familiar. He didn’t like the thought. It brought back old memories he wished were forgotten.
    Lost in thought, Zack didn’t even notice Lambda slowly floating back down to the rooftop. She had retracted her electric whip back into the black void of space it was summoned from and appeared to be assessing the results of her engagement. She then turned to Zack and began to approach him.
    “Damage assessment: host body zero percent; terrain damage twenty three percent. Zero Barrier containment: Faulted. Intrusion imminent.”
    Zack just
