A figure was in the distance, on the rubble of the destroyed room. It was Pepe.
Zombie Queen narrowed her eyes. She was astonished, and she called for her army's attention.
The zombie army turned around and noticed Pepe. They were alarmed.
Zombie Queen was flabbergasted by Pepe, and she remembered her last encounter with him.
Last time, Pepe was a puny weakling. Now, he radiated with energy.
Pepe was silent and focused. His eyes were sharp.
Zombie Queen asked him what had happened to him. She retrieved her composure and inquired if he wanted a rematch.
Pepe clarified that he was there to help his brothers. He declared that they would defeat her.
The three brothers paused and stared. They wondered why he was there.
Stark's eyes watered, and he was speechless.
Hafen's eyes widened, and he was moved by Pepe's loyalty to them.
Matteo teared up, and he smiled.
Zombie Queen smirked. She alleged that Pepe would die, like his parents.
Pepe's eyebrows furrowed. He demanded to know what she knew about his parents' death.
Zombie Queen revealed that she was killed by the same people. She took out a cloak with a unique design of an eye.
Pepe was devastated, and he gritted his teeth. Along with the three brothers, he recognized the cloak. He clenched his fists and sprinted towards Zombie Queen.
The three brothers were stunned.
Zombie Queen chuckled and called him a fool. She remarked that they were in a losing fight. She gestured to her army.
The zombies snickered and taunted.
Zombie Queen commanded them to seize Pepe, and she would make him her personal guard.
The zombies obeyed. A couple zombies stayed behind and toyed with the massively injured brothers.
The three brothers couldn't move.
Matteo coughed blood as one of his arms were torn apart.
The zombies bickered for the piece.
As he laid on the dirt, Stark tried to get up but fell back to the ground.
Hafen slowly lost consciousness. He laid in a puddle of blood.
Nearby, a zombie murmured that they were supposed to capture the brothers alive.
Another zombie remarked that Zombie Queen wanted to punish them personally. He continued that he wanted to help her.
Simultaneously, Pepe was surrounded.
A giant, fat zombie snarled and jumped towards him. She raised her fist and slammed the ground.
Pepe swiftly dodged the attack. He jumped in the air and kicked her in the head.
The fat zombie was knocked down, and the surrounding zombies were flabbergasted.
Pepe landed on the ground and sprinted towards Zombie Queen.
The zombies lunged at him.
Pepe rolled out of the way.
A couple of the zombies landed on each other, and they groaned in pain.
A zombie leader shot his shotgun.
Pepe was taken aback, but he was not hit. It was out of range.
More zombies arrived with ammunition.
Pepe gulped. He ran and threw a rock infused with energy in front of him.
It exploded and created a cloud of smoke.
Pepe dwelled in it.
A zombie suggested to his peers to wait until the smoke cleared.
Another zombie agreed and reminded that Pepe was no match for them.
As the smoke cleared, Pepe touched the ground. He launched himself into the air with a rock pillar.
Luckily, the zombies were not aware, and they waited.
Afterwards, the zombie leader questioned where Pepe went.
The zombies looked around.
The fat zombie pointed above.
Pepe was launched above them. He was impressed by his own maneuver.
The zombie leader demanded for his subordinates to fire at him.
The zombies shot their guns.
Pepe created a bubble of water and shielded himself from the bullets. He landed on the ground past them.
The zombie leader growled that they should not have waited. He commanded his subordinates to pursue.
Zombie Queen was amazed. She noted that Pepe was a different person. She deduced that Pepe was more experienced, and he was able to wield energy for elemental techniques.
Pepe confronted her and looked up at her with a glare.
Zombie Queen commented that Pepe had come a long way since the last time they met. She wondered what brought the change in him. She read his mind and questioned him if he was trying to impress a girl.
Pepe raised an eyebrow and interrogated what she was talking about. He reasserted that he was there for his brothers. He was there to protect his family.
Zombie Queen narrowed her eyes in anger, and her fists were tightened. She snarled that the world belonged to her. She proclaimed that she would not be denied her destiny.
Pepe retorted that he would never join her cause. He revealed that he was there to kill her and end her reign of terror.
Zombie Queen chuckled, and her hair floated in the air. She insisted that the world was in a horrible state. She pointed out that she would become the queen of the world and fix it. She laughed maniacally.
Zombie Queen stopped and remarked that Pepe was an ant compared to her. She questioned what chance he stood against her. Her pointy ears were revealed.
Pepe clenched his fists and declared that she was wrong. He assured that there was a lot of good in the world. He added that they must protect it. He charged and proclaimed that he was not going to let anyone hurt his family. He jumped towards her and swung his fist.
Zombie Queen easily caught it with her hand.
Pepe was shocked.
Zombie Queen's eyes glowed red. Her nails grew and formed claws. She sneered and commented that she was the only hope for the world. Instantly, she sliced Pepe's chest.
Pepe fell to the ground. His clothes had been ripped, and he had large gashes on his chest. He clutched it and struggled to breathe. Blood flowed out.
Zombie Queen laughed and called him weak. She commented that his family would suffer the same fate.
Pepe's eyes widened, and he glanced at the three brothers.
The zombies were tormenting them.
Zombie Queen remarked that Pepe was foolish to try to save them. She continued that it was over.
Pepe looked at her and questioned if she thought so.
Zombie Queen chuckled and interrogated what else could he do. She urged him to give up and submit.
Pepe smirked and revealed that he used to be the strongest in his family, but not anymore. He pointed out that his brothers were stronger than him.
Zombie Queen giggled that they were far weaker than him. She alleged that they were on the verge of death, as well.
Pepe asserted that they were not alone. He elaborated that they had each other, and together, they were stronger. He pointed at Zombie Queen and proclaimed that she would lose. His arm dropped to the ground.
Zombie Queen was confused, and she turned around. She felt a familiar sensation. Her eyes widened.
It was something that she had not felt in a long while. It was a sense of dread.
The zombies were flustered.
Stark, Matteo, and Hafen were unconscious, yet they radiated energy with their elemental swords. They witnessed a vision.
