As such, when they wish for Bad Girl's resurrection, she ends up existence resurrected in the course of a canis familiaris. Travis afterwards ends up locating a epitome for a Death Ball which, rather than transporting him into a video game, transports him directly into the CIA. Massacring his fashion through the facility he locates the Death Drive mother automobile which is beingness guarded past Dr. Juvenile, who has infiltrated the facility and taken the form of "White Sheepman". Travis, expressing respect for her talents and sympathy for her suffering, reluctantly battles and ultimately defeats her.
