A/N: Yeah. We're in Part 3 of this ,almost twenty episode, arc being that this is the last part. The first part of this Arc consisted of Episode 50, 51, 52, 53, and 54. The second part of the Arc consisted of Episode 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, and 64. The third part of this arc is still going on and it will end maybe till Episode 70 ,I hope, and this and the last part is pretty graphic being that there were be a lot of pain and injuries.
The second part did have people losing limbs but this one will not be for the faint of heart. So enjoy this mess and mayhem of Daemon or should I say Ash. I should also explain how Natasha was able to fight Daisy. She may be strong but when it comes to hand to hand combat, it's another story. You also know that Natasha does has metahuman abilities because her parents ,Arturo and Lauren, are both extremely powerful beings so she'll mostly likely have it.
I should have done this earlier but Meh. Live in the moment story telling folks. Zane will not find about this until much later so enjoy. Episode 65 was on Day 8 being that this episode is 66. I plan to have the second season ended by Episode 70-72 I hope. Yeah. This arc is mostly likely going to be the longest in Zero. It's going to be good.
Narrator P.O.V.
Within twenty fours, Cypress Park had changed from the town ,hosting Legion Zero, into a twisted blend of a prison and apocalypse in a small area. Daemon made sure that all of the humans there felt fear from the Phantoms who served the emperor of both Cypress Parks and an entire planet fears his name. Some Phantoms didn't side with Daemon being that the emperor ignored them unless they tried to stop him.
Several buildings were destroyed or ruined as the people tried to survive. At the start, several humans tried to escape regardless of what could happen. Daemon expected this being that most of the humans were soon captured. Some did escape but most of them were captured. No one knows what captured them being that the Phantoms ,siding with Daemon, didn't do it. He coined this game very much like Hide and Seek but a far more threatening and not very good name called Run and Servitude.
One game is currently being played right now staring Marcus Simmons who is trying to escape this nightmare. He's a teen activist being that he said that Daemon should be taken down because he's treating humans like slaves and Phantoms like their owners. He had been on the run since earlier today. He and his servants tried to leave town, but the Enforcer Squad soon caught wind of this and went after them.
They tried to escape with several cars but several Pestcrushers destroyed the cars. Marcus ran away as his servants were soon caught by the chess soldiers ,being pawns, and it was a sad day. He had been running and hiding as several Phantoms took turns hunting down. He did try to seek refuge in others home but people didn't let him. Ash sent out a picture of Marcus with the Phantom saying that if they're caught hiding him, they'll also serve in his crime.
Things were getting worse by the minute for Marcus as he kept on running. The only hope left is that he needs to get around the barrier that was holding Cypress Park in. He soon saw that he was only five miles away from the barrier. He picked up the pace as he reached the shield. He soon bumped into something and it turned out to Zane. "Zane? What are you doing here? I thought that you died by Daemon..." said Marcus.
He was soon knocked out by Zane who said in a robotic voice,"Returning escapee Marcus Simmons to Daemon.". He soon flew off as the robot didn't see Bane standing there. "Even Wraith wouldn't like this. This is wrong." thought Bane. He soon headed back to the hideout for Phantoms who didn't want to get involved with this war. It was ironically the high school that their friend/fellow Phantom Zane Alvarez once went to this school.
This place consisted of any Phantoms who didn't side with Daemon. Bane was their makeshift leader but this was only because he's considered to be one of the strongest Phantoms. Upon entering, he saw Isis sitting there with her knees to her chest. Bane remember when she arrived. He hadn't seen her in a while but he could tell that she was being used for wishes. She may be able to make an good amount of them but she had her limits.
He found himself in the cafeteria being that this place was their H.Q and how they contacted their human allies. Most of the group there didn't like humans because they just don't care anymore. He soon Ether working on an invention. He was trying to find a way to make a portal back to Terrarune to try and get allies for them so they can take down Daemon and his army. Bane floated over to his friend and he said,"Update Ether?".
Ether sighed as he said,"Honest. It's hard being that the metallic one is monitoring anything that uses technology. It's been a struggle.". "You're right. I'm pretty sure that things are only going to get worse from here." said Bane. "I feel really bad for Isis. She's really hurt by these humans trying to wish away their problems." said Ether. "You're right friend. I do hope that Zane's alive because Isis wouldn't lie." said Bane.
Over at Zane's house, things weren't looking good for the humans. Daemon had taking over the town in a day being that some of the humans formed a resistance. It mainly consisted of teens and some adults. Ed was currently working on weapons and he was happy that the shield that was around the house stayed there and Ash couldn't get in. Things were hard for him being that his Pseudo-Sister was taken by Daemon for some reason.
He wanted to protect his hometown and thanks to Tara, he wasn't doing this for revenge. This place was an oasis for humans being that it took everything just to get there because Daemon's army had really good scouts. This place was also the home of the Resistance being that all members were either taught by Danny, Gwen, Heidi, Jasmine, Ray, Roxy, and Tara. One of the members who started to shine was a girl by the name of Sophie Wright who was being very helpful.
Kevin was also here and his parents were taken by Daemon rather early on. He promised the group that he would try to find a way to get help toward the city. Danny and Ray didn't trust him at first but he soon proved his loyalty by hiding them from Ash. Kevin knew that Ash isn't perfect being that he had flaws and he was going to find it. The refugees swarmed the house being that they soon built tents in the backyard.
The guards were trained how to use Plasma Swiss Army Knives ,mainly in the gun forms, and they were pretty good guards. Despite it being a apocalypse, food wasn't a problem. Daemon let food come into the town but it was first come, first serve deal. The president did know about this being that she send troops and supplies toward the people. They got the items mainly because Daemon didn't really care. Troops on the other hands were a different story.
The troops that the president promised were coming to their rescue but they were stopped by Swarm telling them that this is their problem because it has something to do with Phantoms. She relented and allowed them to take command. They were slowly taking time to make final checks on their weapons to kill off the Phantom scum. This place screamed chaos despite having a good amount of food and water because it looked like hell on earth.
Danny told the members of the resistance that they can't give up because the country won't forget about them. With Daemon and his group, they were enjoying themselves being that the chaos affected the humans. Daemon made a makeshift arena ,thanks to the zoo, as a special form of entertainment for him and his kind. The walls were lined with anti-Phantom material coming from Vicky's gear and spikes so that humans can't escape.
Daisy let the animals go free being that Halphas was allergic to most of the animals fur. They made it out of the barrier being the lucky ones. Daemon made an arena for fights very much like Septchris except he wasn't involved like in the past. One match was currently taking place in the former Golden Tabby Tiger habitat being that it was Slug ,who's one of Dyno's leading enforcers, vs Jester who had changed from the last time seen in the Prime Dimension.
He looked a bit like his counterpart from Daemon's dimension except less apocalypse like. His face was still pale and red lipstick, with his figures gaining some muscle but not too much. He's wearing a black jumpsuit with only the right sleeve torn off. He had the strange clown skull tattoo on both of his shoulders. He's wearing white gloves on both hands and big gray shoes. He still had short red hair with it going over his left brown eyes. The dark blue orbs was around his waist like a belt.
Around them, several Phantoms of Daemon's group cheered on the battle. Inside the cage, Jester soon dodged Slug's attack being that he was getting tired. "Come clown boy. Come and fight me or are you chicken?!" said Slug. He created a Green Nether pipe with him swinging toward Jester. He soon dodged the attack with him holding one of the orbs. He threw it toward Slug who swung at it. It soon caused a massive explosion launching Slug directly into the wall.
The head guard soon looked at Jester as the clown Phantom walked toward him with him creating an Orange Nether Ax walking toward him. "Please. Don't kill me." said Slug. "Who's the chicken now huh? I'm going to show you what happens to people who mess with me!" said Jester. The weapon was about to hit Slug with the Phantom closing his eyes in fear. Jester heard booing as he said,"This fight is over.".
Halphas stood there ,holding the Ax, as he said,"Slug. You're useless to us in this form so you're going to the lab and maybe Ash can find a use for you.". Jester soon saw that his opponent ,screaming and kicking, was being dragged away as Halphas said,"Follow me clown boy.". The two floated up to see Daemon sitting in his throne that he had. It was made out of metal and looked to be extremely comfy to Jester. Daisy was currently sitting on his lap with her arms around Daemon's neck.
Scarlet Demon stood there ,on the right side, with Carnage ,on the left side, with him chewing on a skull. It was a chew toy for dogs but they didn't want to tell him that. "You did good Jester and I sure didn't expect it. I guess don't judge a book by its cover right?" said Daemon. He chuckled as Jester said,"I'm going to guess that you want me to do something for you.". "Oh wow. You got a pair on you don't you?" said Halphas who started to smoke.
Jester knew that pissing off Daemon in anyway would get you killed but he didn't care anymore. He died once before and he just wanted to get revenge on Sierra because she caused him to die for the first time. "Okay Jester. You can either become one of my generals in my army or you can face off against me in a attempt of freedom. So what do you wish?" said Daemon as he grew a sadistic smile on his face. "You got my service Daemon." said Jester as he smiled.
Inside of Zane's house, Kevin was in the basement sitting in front of a communication system and he had been working non-stop on it. During Daemon's first day of rampage, the Resistance sent a group that consisting of Danny, Gwen, Heidi, Jasmine, Jim, Kevin, Ray, Roxy, Sophie, and Tara went to the tech company Champion Tech. Ash didn't know about it at first but he soon found out. He sent some of their army to try and stop them.
Danny, Gwen, Heidi, and Sophie kept the Phantoms busy using either magic spells, plasma bullets, a staff to the face or perhaps a giant earth fist, or a good old fashioned punch. Some did escape but they were stopped by the group of Jasmine, Ray, and Tara who made sure that Jim and Kevin could find what they're looking forward. However, the seven fighters soon got overwhelmed being that they were forced to flee but they did get what they're needed much to Daemon's annoyance.
Ed and Jim soon went to work on a communication system with Kevin checking over the work. He noticed several errors but he didn't say anything because the two of them were worried about their daughters. Tara had gotten injured during the raid much to the annoyance of Ray and also the idea of Vicky was being used by Ash wasn't hitting any notes with Jim. Kevin had been sending out constant S.O.S. messages to the outside being that he hadn't gotten a single replay back.
He wondered if Ash figured out their plan and set up a jamming signal. No, he was sure that it wasn't that because according to a scouting robot ,that he built in secret, the machine Phantom has been in his lap for the past twenty four hours. He decided to head upstairs and clear his head for a while. He walked past the kitchen and living room with him heading upstairs. He soon walked past Zane's room being that his heart started to hurt.
Upon seeing Zane ,aka a clone, being killed on live T.V, Danny banned Zane's room off limits except to Danny and the higher ranking members. "I still can't believe that he was willing to give me another chance but my ego got the best of me." thought Kevin. "Are you alright Kevin?" said a female voice from behind him. The teen turned around to see Sophie standing behind him with her hands on her hips. Before all of this, she was a wallflower being that she was just a normal girl.
She joined the resistance being that she was one of the best recruits out of the bunch which is saying a lot being most of the recruits. She's a close combat fighter but she could fight from a range. She's an average height for a girl her age being that her build screams that she's both athletic and slim. She has large bright green eyes, peach colored skin, and medium length orange hair that looked cropped being that it partially covers her right eye.
She's wearing a orange short-sleeve sweater, a pale blue cropped cargo jeans that shows off 1/4 of her legs, and purple and gray tennis/running shoes. She's wearing a gray bracelet that currently rest on her right wrist. This was one of Natasha's latest invention being that it's a combat suit that can help a user against super natural opponents. Danny gave this to her upon her defeating most of her fellow recruits earlier. "You seen what's happen to Zane and he was going to be nice to me." said Kevin.
Before all of this happened, Kevin was alone. He knew that he was the best and he let his ego go wild on people. Most people found him really annoying being that he thought that he was going to be the best. He was going to be a member of the Guardians but Legion Zero defeated him twice and he was pretty sure that the hero hated him. "I guess we were just following the crowd about bashing you but look at you now." said Sophie.
Kevin said,"You're just saying that being that I'm the only one able to build a machine to help us get help against those Phantoms.". Sophie placed her hand on his shoulder as she said,"I don't think any one in our group sees you like that. You've proved yourself and I'm sure that after this, you'll have a good amount of friends.". She walked toward her room as Kevin looked at her. She was pretty but she was missing the curves. He slapped himself ,for thinking that, as he went to his room to rest.
Meanwhile, there was a large than normal unit were getting ready to enter the town. The unit consists of a group of tanks, several ground troops, and armored trucks. In front of the unit, two agents from Swarm stood there. Their real names aren't known being that they're called Agent F and Agent Quake. The two are wearing gray business/military suits with matching dress shoes, white tie, and a pair of black sunglasses hanging from the suit.
Quake has short buzzed brown hair and F had slightly longer black hair. Quake looked to be his twenties and F was thirty. F looks to be African American and Quake is Caucasian. They both had brown eyes. The two of them are leading the attack on the Daemon and his crew. They have some new toys that were going to make quick work of the Phantom scum. "All of our troops are ready to go." said Quake. "Activate the Ogre Crushers right now." said F as he pressed a button on his phone.
Inside of the armored trucks, twenty S shaped blue lights appeared within in the trucks. The sides of the trucks opened up as the sounds of metal clanged being it sounded like marching and they were very big robots. They had a very streamlined figure with grayish white armor. Their torso had the shape of the letter T being that it had grayish white chest armor being that it was hiding the dark blue wiring that connected everything together aka the arms, head, and legs.
The robots had a cockpit being that it was hidden by the chest plate. Their long arms being almost five feet and has sharp shoulders. The joints ,that were connected to the forearms, were very hidden being that it could be seen as a weakness. The robots's right forearm has five long fingers which are razor sharp and left forearm is a really big cannon that looks to be the same length of the other arm. It looked deadly being the barrel has a pentagon shape to it.
The legs of the units are layered with gray armor being that the feet looked to be razor sharp and very painful to touch. The heads look to be very much like a fish bowl with a large x shaped visor that was glowing blue. Fifty six ,twenty feet tall, robots stood there with the two agents smiling upon seeing them in action. "They're ready to go and going to kill some Phantom scum Agent F." said Quake with a smile. "It times to begin Operation: Phantom Elimination." said F.
The robots soon marched into Cypress Park being that they soon got the attention of the monitoring systems that were linked to Ash. The information of their machines went into the Phantom and he said,"You'll be perfect.". He soon left his lab ,aka the ruins of Champion Tech, and heading toward City Hall. He phased into the office and he saw Daemon sitting there with Daisy glaring hard at the Phantom being that several Pestcrushers followed suit.
Daemon looked bored as he said,"What is it now? I gave you a lab and you still find something to complain about.". "I'm so sorry that I'm stopping your eighty seventh make out session but you should know that we have some uninvited guess." said Ash. "So? Just send some of our forces to handle them." said Daisy. "No shit. I'm not stupid like your pets. These machines were made to kill our kind." said Ash showing them a projection of the Ogre Crushers.
Ash said,"They've been working on this thanks to the data gained by Vicky. I wonder how they gained that information.". "So have anyone gone to them yet?" said Daemon. "Not yet. They are currently eating and by my calculations, they are slowly heading toward us and staying away from any of those dumb humans." said Ash. "Okay. Tell Halphas and Scarlet to meet us there. Lets go give them a warm welcome." said Daemon. He flew off with Daisy going after him.
Back at Zane's house, Jim was in the basement taking over Kevin's job ,sending messages out, being that he soon saw something on the monitor. It was an army of robots marching toward City Hall and he had a feeling that were from Swarm due to them having the same signature as Vicky's suit. He soon took a second to marvel at the machines before rushing upstairs to find Danny, Gwen, Kevin who was eating, and Sophie.
The five were showing them as Jim said,"I still can't believe that we're being saved by Swarm. It's quite weird.". "I may be against them and Vicky for killing innocent Phantoms but being stopping those monsters, I'll be okay with that." said Gwen. "Those machines look really advanced but can they stop Ash?" said Kevin. "I really hate to say this but you're right Kevin." said Danny as Gwen punched him lightly. "We just have to hope right?" said Sophie.
As the Ogres reached City Hall, there were no signs of the Phantoms that had take over town. Ash sent a message to all of their forces to leave the robots to the five of them. This brought the robots to see Ash, Daemon, Daisy, Halphas, and Scarlet Demon standing in front of the building as the Ogres identifying the five Phantoms with three of them being Phantoms and two being something else but they still aimed their big cannons right at them.
Daemon smiled ,as he showed amusement, and he saw that there was also soldiers insides of the army of robots. He soon saw Agent F and Quake standing in front of the robots and he soon remembered that he was back in his dimension being that they opposed him like they did now. "You guys are way too early to the party. I mean I would wait till the end of the week to take over this country where its people fight each other over the stupid shit." said Daemon.
Agent F said,"You'll see that our Ogre Crushers will be your death along with the rest of your kind so make your final requests.". "We're just going to ignore them by the way." said Quake. "You're cute but you're dumb like I was." said Daemon. He stood in front of the group as Quake said,"Activating targeting systems.". "Fire!" said F. The robots aimed their weapons and fired on Daemon. They flew at him at an incredible speed ,being faster than light, and they soon reached him.
They were stopped by a barrier which sent the beams to scatter and fly into buildings. The agents were shocked as the robots kept on going. "This is sad. I mean I only had to think about it and send those blasts away. I guess mastering my Telekinesis was worth it. You guys can leave. I can handle them with ease or perhaps, I show them the real army of mine." said Daemon. The rest of his group flew off.
He looked back at the robots with him saying,"I better save some of them for Ash. We could use them to spread fear.". He disappeared with the robots looking for him. "Find him now!" said F. "I'm trying but they lost his Nether Signature." said Quake messing with the remote. Daemon appeared from behind him and he grabbed the remote. He soon floated above them as he said,"What does this button do?". He pressed a button as the robots aimed their weapons on them.
Daemon said,"You know that you can't fight back right? Ash has already hacked into their systems so they belong to me. You can try to fight back but trust me, it will be a slaughter.". The robots soon led the agents off as the Resistance watched Swarm failed. Gwen turned off the monitor as she looked at Danny who was clenching his fist. Kevin ran out of the basement with Gwen telling Sophie to go get him.
Gwen crossed her arms as she said while looking at Danny,"What should we do now Danny? I mean we're very much screwed.". "We can't let this bring us down. We need to find their flaws and make sure that those bastards pay." said Danny. Meanwhile, Lilith was watching the same footage that the resistance had gotten. Ever since the arrival of Daemon and his group, she had kept a close eye on him and he reminded her of Zane but older and far more in tune with his Nether than Zane is.
This man had power and influence being that he made Cypress Park his kingdom and can control a powerful Nether very much like Zane. Specter Samurai stood there nearby Lilith as the two worked together. "So did our scouts find anything?" said Lilith. "Daisy seems to be his lover, Halphas and Scarlet are his enforcers, and Ash is planning on taking over Daemon's empire plus the tech expert. What's your plan?" said Specter.
Lilith said,"He shows his might through his brute force and intimidation. I doubt that he's smart as well being that he's just the muscle. I'm going to get back Natasha and whatever happened to Zane is a shame but I'm going to save her.". "So what's the plan?" said Specter. "It's simple. You'll see what happens when you try to steal the woman I love." said Lilith. It was later that same day and a game of Run and Servitude was going on.
A voice said,"It's funny. Our lives are now better under his rule. It's been only a couple of days since we met Daemon making this place better to live in for Phantoms. I love hearing humans crying brings me joy. You should tell me where those who resist his will and bring them out of their hole.". "You do know that he's currently asleep right now Jester?" said a male's voice as the two Phantoms looked at their capture person.
It was Mack Osborne being that he tried to join the resistance but he failed being that he was trying to undo the shield for Daemon. He did this because he was promised a seat of power by Daemon but the A-List member didn't know that Daemon was lying. "You're right Crunch. I think we should wake him up so would you Riveter?" said Jester. The teen was soon awaken and he saw the three standing there. Jester was the leader of the trio consisting of himself, Crunch, and Riveter.
He went closer to the teen as he said,"Why did you fail Daemon when he was just a teen back in his dimension?". "What are you talking about?" said Mack. "You teased him or should I say that it was your counterpart but I don't care. Daemon was once a very shy kid but here's the best part of this little thing. Your group teased him because you could. Daemon will take revenge on you and the rest of the A List." said Jester. "I don't know what are you talking about." said Mack.
Crunch said,"Wow. I forgot how dumb you human could be. You should be lucky that you aren't a woman and that robotic Phantom is be kept back. He's so messed up being that he wanted to make any woman ,that he finds attractive, into one of his girls and make them feel really happy by using one of his machines. It's so messed up. I have to thank Lord Daemon for keeping him in his place.". "For sure." said Riveter.
Jester said,"Crunch. Send him back to where we keep the others.". The Phantom flew off with the teen as Riveter said,"Wow. You're getting really good at this.". "Thanks man. I guess we should get going back to work." said Jester. "You're right. We should finish up quick." said Riveter. The two flew away and it was soon night time. During the night, Daemon's Phantom army didn't operate being that they had the Ogre Crushers working instead.
Despite them being machines, they were unable to enter the shield around Zane's house being that Kevin made sure that Ash didn't win against him. All humans lived in fear of those who took over their hometown in one day. Right now, Sophie was currently heading back to their base being that she was getting a first aid kit that she remember that her parents had before they were captured by one of the parties during the start of the invasion. She found herself at Zane's house.
She didn't know Zane well but she knew that he was a way better guy than Brad and Kevin during the election. She also knew that he was paired up with several girls being that he was called a player ,like Mack, despite him having no idea about that. She was going to fight the Phantoms that took over her town being that she knew that not all of them were bad according to Danny. She made sure that she stayed out of the way of any Phantoms that were out just causing mayhem.
She was tempted to attack them but the first aid matter more. She went a different way back home as she spotted the house. It may look rather small on the outside but according to Ed, Natasha had these house upgraded to handle anything. She walked into the barrier and went into the house. She couldn't help but shed a couple of tears with her thinking,"Legion Zero. You aren't mad with us are you for what we've done right? Please save us.". She soon went to bed.
The next day, another person decided to take the change at escaping Cypress Park. It was the former dealer Frankie. He had contacted the Odium Society ,thanks to Apazar leaving his number behind after the whole Cinder Fiasco, and they promised that they would save him from Daemon who was currently making business rather slow for him unlike before. "Almost out of this hell hole. It's going to be so nice enjoying some business and this is so..." thought Frankie.
He soon saw that the hunting party was coming toward them being that they've been chased him for awhile now but the one that stuck out to him was Vicky ,currently still in costume and currently on her hoverboard, and she was leading the group. The Phantoms that joined her mainly wanted to see what Ash had told them about using this woman who killed their kind and now, she was being used to hurt her own race. They found it funny in some sick way.
Vicky tried to fight back but Ash had complete control over her body being that she was his personal puppet unable to fight back. She tried her best but it failed. She fired a beam which stopped the man and he fell down to the ground. The teen floated over to him slowly as Ash had sent this message to all of those who either opposed Daemon or was just hiding. Inside of Zane' house, Heidi and Roxy were watching this with cold hard looks on their pretty faces.
Jim was shocked and also angered. He couldn't do anything to stop her being used by that man so he felt like crap. Vicky aimed at her pistol at him as she said in a robotic voice,"Any last words human scum?". "Screw you and your master! I hope he dies!" yelled Frankie. She soon blasted him as he was soon gone. Vicky screamed ,in her head, in horror as she had killed someone. The Phantoms behind her cheered. The broadcast ended and the TV turned off ending the game.
Roxy said,"I can't believe that guy. He's even worse than Daemon.". "You're right." said Heidi. "That robot is using my daughter to kill anyone who gets in his way. I'm going to make him pay." said Jim as the two girls looked at each other with them not saying a word. However, this day had one more surprise waiting for them. Lilith had entered the town with Specter Samurai. "This has gone one for too long. I'm putting an end to this." said Lilith as she turned into Sovereign.
Specter said,"Shouldn't we wait for some members of the Odium Society Sovereign? Derrick had promised us some after they found out what happened to Fallout. His body was almost destroyed by several wounds upon coming back from Blacktomb.". "Blacktomb? That's the worst prison in the Omniverse right? Why should it matter?" said Sovereign. "His body looked to have suffer from ten plus years of injuries." said Specter.
Sovereign shrugged as she said,"That doesn't matter Specter. I'm going to stop Daemon. His Nether Signature is a mixture of Zane was but much stronger. I shall allow him rule of this city for his assistance in taking over the world and become the real leader of the Odium Society by taking over this Earth. I'll just need my Natasha before I can do this.". "And what if he says no to your plan? I hope for your sake it works." said Specter.
Sovereign said,"I stole those items from Spiro and replaced them." She was holding the Gauntlets of Power and Crown of Rage. "These two things make me powerful than he'll ever be Specter but even without them, I'm stronger." said Sovereign. "Should we get going?" said Specter. "Yes but lets stay out of that cybernetic Phantom's radar. We know about his limits." said Sovereign. The two flew over to City Hall with them staying away from the scanners.
Meanwhile, Daemon was walking into a home. In the start of his conquest, Daisy and her pets took care of all of the servants working and living here being that the house looked like a tornado went through it. However, two rooms were untouched being that he opened one of those doors. He saw his prisoners being that they were Zane's family plus two of the most special ladies to his heart according to his research here. He put them in two different rooms and he was going to see them both.
Ana was helping Atem sleep because the young mummy had nightmares. Atem saw his fathers ,both of them, dying right in front of him and he woke him up. Ana kept telling his nephew that her brother was still alive but she was starting to doubt that little theory. The little sister looked to see that Kania was doing the same thing to Wolfram. She knew that the puppy was the youngest one in the room so he was the most upset about Zane's "Death". Daemon soon entered the room.
Daemon looked at them as Kania and Wolfram growls at him. "I'm not here to talk with you mutts. So got to sleep right now." said Daemon. Ana soon saw that the two Phantoms were soon asleep. "You're lucky that I'm in control for now." said Daemon. "What do you mean by control?" said Ana. "I guess you don't know what I mean. Heard about the Trastry? Your brother faced off against one before. Tell me what you know and you know what will happen if you don't." said Daemon.
Ana said,"He said that it was a big worm that controlled Spiro Midnight in order to destroy Cypress Park for someone. He didn't know who the controller was. Why are you asking?". "None of your dam business prisoner. Good bye for now prisoner." said Daemon. He was gone and Ana wiped away the tears off her nephew's face. She could tell that Atem really missed his father as she said,"Hurry back please big brother.".
In the other room, Arturo was sleeping with Karen and Kristen looking at Natasha. Natasha had taken the news the worst even more than Atem and Wolfram. That's saying a lot given that Atem is having nightmares and Wolfram lost his master. "Karen. Do you really believe what that guy said to us the other day?" said Kristen. "About him killing Zane or you being his girlfriend after we had those robot babies and after your birthday?" said Karen.
Kristen said with a blush,"The former Karen. I mean how would Zane know this guy? I mean he's a Phantom and he knows us so well. I mean it makes no sense to me.". "It's because me and Zane are tied together by fate." said a voice. The three women soon turned to see Daemon ,in his Zane guise aka the one form Episode 51, and he said,"Let me say my peace before you attack me.". "Why are you cosplaying as my son?!" yelled Natasha as she grabbed his shirt collar.
Daemon said,"Can't you tell who I am mother?". Natasha let go as Karen said,"You're Zane.". "From a dimension set ten years in the Prime Dimension's future. Our relationship was different than in this one Karen and Kristen. I was only friends with Danny and later Gwen. Karen, you were this cute girl who was a genius. I wanted to ask you out but I was scared of you finding out the truth about my powers. Your Zane likes you too." said Daemon.
The teens were shocked by this revelation as Daemon said,"He likes you too Kristen. He also likes Nova, and Roxy. He didn't want to ruin the friendship with all of you so he played the part of a dense idiot. He's quite an actor unlike his father ever was. I didn't know Shawn Alvarez because my father is someone else that you know. I was ,at first, scared of myself but now, I'm Daemon and no longer Malik Vincent Alvarez.". "How did you get your powers?" said Kristen.
Daemon looked at her with him turning back into his Phantom form. "Kristen. I got my powers from protecting my version of Kristen and Roxy from a Phantom on my first day of High School. I'll tell you that you know the identity of the Phantom being that it was a vampire. You'll see what I mean in due time. Keep an eye on the TV." said Daemon. He flew back over to City Hall with him seeing that his castle's door was blasted off. "Huh. I think she's more powerful than he ever was." said Daemon.
He walked through the building using his powers to search for the intruders being that he could sense two of them. He saw several destroyed chess soldiers and he soon reached the office. He opened the door to see that Sovereign was sitting in his chair with the Spectral Samurai to the left of her. He noticed that the vampire was wearing the Gauntlets of Power and Crown of Rage. "Took you long enough. You seem to be just like Zane." said Sovereign.
Daemon said,"Leave now vampire mistress before I stain this room with your blood in a matter of moments. Phantoms bleeds the same as humans do except their blood gives human super strength and powers. What do you want?". "You have Zane's unique way with words. Do you know see what I'm wearing?" said Sovereign. "Trinkets?" said Daemon. "No! They are the Gauntlets of Power and Crown of Rage! They will give me unlimited power!" said Sovereign.
Daemon yawned as he said,"Like I said before. Trinkets. This is just sad.". "Not at all! Witness real power child!" yelled Sovereign. Specter watched as his master punched Daemon in the face causing the Phantom to be sent back. He landed against a wall as Daemon looked at Sovereign. He placed his hand on his face as he saw that it was bleeding. "You're stronger than him. I guess I'll have to kill you as well." said Daemon slowly standing back up.
Sovereign said,"I guess you're going to listen to my proposal?". "Sorry but I'm not into older woman at all." said Daemon. "You must learn the hard way then." said Sovereign. She was about to fire off a Red Nether Blast but Daemon soon appeared in front of her. She was soon kicked into the wall of the office hard as she screamed out in pain. Specter was shocked as he thought,"He can move faster than even Spiro can. That was just like Zane's Speed when he's Swift Form.".
Daemon said,"And here I thought that one of the "smartest" and richest woman in this country would have brought back up beside for the rejected Scarlet Demon. It's sad really.". He soon fired his purple flames at Sovereign which caused her to scream. Sovereign coughed up blood as she said,"How did you move so fast and what's with your fire Nether? Answer me!". She soon saw that Daemon was holding both Gauntlets as he smashed them to pieces. "How did you?" said Sovereign.
Daemon said,"You really need to get your ears checked old hag. The Gauntlets of Power and Crown of Rage are nothing more than just a normal crown and gauntlets. Spiro used them to limit his power but that's just an old wives tale. Most Phantoms believe it because they don't want to mess with the Emperor of the Prime Terrarune. There is a Phantom stronger than Spiro ever was and his name is Sivarth.".
The two Phantoms look confused as Daemon said,"This Phantom was locked up because it was so dangerous and destructive. There's a rumor that he was created by one of those Eazairvians but who knows? He was freed thanks to Johnny Vincent and he went into the Phantom that comes after him so who has his Nether Signature?". "Zane." said Sovereign. "Good. You're not a complete idiot but you're still an idiot." said Daemon.
He kicked the vampire in the stomach which sent her back to her human form with Daemon looking at Specter. "You know that I can tell that your boss wanted me to work with her or kill me right? It's so obvious that isn't happening. I want to know why I should spare your lives and not send you to the final spot for all beings." said Daemon. Specter couldn't speak because he was so scared as Daemon soon knocked the two of them out.
Soon, all of the TVs in Cypress Park turned on gaining everyone's attention. They were shocked to see that Daemon was currently holding the very beaten Lilith Rune in the air nearby his castle. Inside of the house that was pretty much a prison, Natasha was extremely confused on two things. Why was Lilith here and Daemon attacking her to begin with. "So who is she again?" said Karen. "Didn't she help you, Ed, and Reggie built Zane's suit that Legion Zero used against Spiro?" said Kristen.
Daemon said,"People of Cypress Park, I have got a little surprise for you. You must know who this woman Lilith Rune. She's one of the richest women in the United States. Like most of your kind, it seems that she's hiding a secret. Lets see it shall we?". The people were confused with them soon finding out to show that Lilith had soon became Sovereign with her glaring at Daemon who just smiled as he said,"Tada.".
Natasha was stunned as she said,"That's the Phantom who Zane fought in New York!". Karen and Kristen looked at each other with Arturo sighing. "Lilith Rune is a Phantom. She's a Cross Species just like Zane was. You think you can do so much with them. Try and figure it out Swarm. I hope for a real change. On the day of this town's anniversary, I plan to kill someone and all will see. You can try and stop me then Resistance. I'll be waiting." said Daemon as the TVs turned off.
Daemon soon placed the beaten Sovereign in front of a building. "Lets see if they can act with this power under their belts." said Daemon. He left the area laughing as Sovereign turned back to normal with her seeing three people walking to her. It was Agent F and Quake with Marilyn behind them as Lilith said,"Help me please Marilyn. We're old friends right?". "Bring this creature into my lab. I have an idea on how to use this power to my advantage to kill Daemon." said Marilyn.
Next time,
What will Marilyn use with Lilith's power? What is up with Daemon? Is he truly under the control of the Trastry or not? It's like he has two different personalities! Will Karen and Kristen figure out the truth about Zane being Legion Zero?! Who is he going to kill on the town's anniversary? And will Zane ever find out about this? This and more next time on Zero!
Groups known by Day Two and Three:
Daemon's Group. (Ash, Crunch, Daemon aka Malik Alvarez, Daisy, Halphas, Jester, Mind Control Vicky, Riveter, and Scarlet Demon).
The Resistance. (Danny, Ed, Gwen, Heidi, Jasmine, Jim, Kevin, Ray, Roxy, Sophie, and Tara).
Bane's Group. (Bane, Ether, and Isis).
Swarm. (Agent F, Agent Quake, and Marilyn).
Zane's Group (Amelia, Carolyn, Colleen, Darin, Daryl, Elisa, Frank, Henry, Ivan, Kurt, Lauren, Liv, Lucas, Lucius, Marco, Marshal/Marissa, Naomi, Sharia, Sirius, Trunk, and Zane).
Daemon's Prisoners (Ana, Arturo, Atem, Kania, Karen, Kristen, Natasha, and Wolfram).
Around them, several Phantoms of Daemon's group cheered on the battle. Inside the cage, Jester soon dodged Slug's attack being that he was getting tired. "Come clown boy. Come and fight me or are you chicken?!" said Slug. He created a Green Nether pipe with him swinging toward Jester. He soon dodged the attack with him holding one of the orbs. He threw it toward Slug who swung at it. It soon caused a massive explosion launching Slug directly into the wall.
The head guard soon looked at Jester as the clown Phantom walked toward him with him creating an Orange Nether Ax walking toward him. "Please. Don't kill me." said Slug. "Who's the chicken now huh? I'm going to show you what happens to people who mess with me!" said Jester. The weapon was about to hit Slug with the Phantom closing his eyes in fear. Jester heard booing as he said,"This fight is over.".
Halphas stood there ,holding the Ax, as he said,"Slug. You're useless to us in this form so you're going to the lab and maybe Ash can find a use for you.". Jester soon saw that his opponent ,screaming and kicking, was being dragged away as Halphas said,"Follow me clown boy.". The two floated up to see Daemon sitting in his throne that he had. It was made out of metal and looked to be extremely comfy to Jester. Daisy was currently sitting on his lap with her arms around Daemon's neck.
Scarlet Demon stood there ,on the right side, with Carnage ,on the left side, with him chewing on a skull. It was a chew toy for dogs but they didn't want to tell him that. "You did good Jester and I sure didn't expect it. I guess don't judge a book by its cover right?" said Daemon. He chuckled as Jester said,"I'm going to guess that you want me to do something for you.". "Oh wow. You got a pair on you don't you?" said Halphas who started to smoke.
Jester knew that pissing off Daemon in anyway would get you killed but he didn't care anymore. He died once before and he just wanted to get revenge on Sierra because she caused him to die for the first time. "Okay Jester. You can either become one of my generals in my army or you can face off against me in a attempt of freedom. So what do you wish?" said Daemon as he grew a sadistic smile on his face. "You got my service Daemon." said Jester as he smiled.
Inside of Zane's house, Kevin was in the basement sitting in front of a communication system and he had been working non-stop on it. During Daemon's first day of rampage, the Resistance sent a group that consisting of Danny, Gwen, Heidi, Jasmine, Jim, Kevin, Ray, Roxy, Sophie, and Tara went to the tech company Champion Tech. Ash didn't know about it at first but he soon found out. He sent some of their army to try and stop them.
Danny, Gwen, Heidi, and Sophie kept the Phantoms busy using either magic spells, plasma bullets, a staff to the face or perhaps a giant earth fist, or a good old fashioned punch. Some did escape but they were stopped by the group of Jasmine, Ray, and Tara who made sure that Jim and Kevin could find what they're looking forward. However, the seven fighters soon got overwhelmed being that they were forced to flee but they did get what they're needed much to Daemon's annoyance.
Ed and Jim soon went to work on a communication system with Kevin checking over the work. He noticed several errors but he didn't say anything because the two of them were worried about their daughters. Tara had gotten injured during the raid much to the annoyance of Ray and also the idea of Vicky was being used by Ash wasn't hitting any notes with Jim. Kevin had been sending out constant S.O.S. messages to the outside being that he hadn't gotten a single replay back.
He wondered if Ash figured out their plan and set up a jamming signal. No, he was sure that it wasn't that because according to a scouting robot ,that he built in secret, the machine Phantom has been in his lap for the past twenty four hours. He decided to head upstairs and clear his head for a while. He walked past the kitchen and living room with him heading upstairs. He soon walked past Zane's room being that his heart started to hurt.
Upon seeing Zane ,aka a clone, being killed on live T.V, Danny banned Zane's room off limits except to Danny and the higher ranking members. "I still can't believe that he was willing to give me another chance but my ego got the best of me." thought Kevin. "Are you alright Kevin?" said a female voice from behind him. The teen turned around to see Sophie standing behind him with her hands on her hips. Before all of this, she was a wallflower being that she was just a normal girl.
She joined the resistance being that she was one of the best recruits out of the bunch which is saying a lot being most of the recruits. She's a close combat fighter but she could fight from a range. She's an average height for a girl her age being that her build screams that she's both athletic and slim. She has large bright green eyes, peach colored skin, and medium length orange hair that looked cropped being that it partially covers her right eye.
She's wearing a orange short-sleeve sweater, a pale blue cropped cargo jeans that shows off 1/4 of her legs, and purple and gray tennis/running shoes. She's wearing a gray bracelet that currently rest on her right wrist. This was one of Natasha's latest invention being that it's a combat suit that can help a user against super natural opponents. Danny gave this to her upon her defeating most of her fellow recruits earlier. "You seen what's happen to Zane and he was going to be nice to me." said Kevin.
Before all of this happened, Kevin was alone. He knew that he was the best and he let his ego go wild on people. Most people found him really annoying being that he thought that he was going to be the best. He was going to be a member of the Guardians but Legion Zero defeated him twice and he was pretty sure that the hero hated him. "I guess we were just following the crowd about bashing you but look at you now." said Sophie.
Kevin said,"You're just saying that being that I'm the only one able to build a machine to help us get help against those Phantoms.". Sophie placed her hand on his shoulder as she said,"I don't think any one in our group sees you like that. You've proved yourself and I'm sure that after this, you'll have a good amount of friends.". She walked toward her room as Kevin looked at her. She was pretty but she was missing the curves. He slapped himself ,for thinking that, as he went to his room to rest.
Meanwhile, there was a large than normal unit were getting ready to enter the town. The unit consists of a group of tanks, several ground troops, and armored trucks. In front of the unit, two agents from Swarm stood there. Their real names aren't known being that they're called Agent F and Agent Quake. The two are wearing gray business/military suits with matching dress shoes, white tie, and a pair of black sunglasses hanging from the suit.
Quake has short buzzed brown hair and F had slightly longer black hair. Quake looked to be his twenties and F was thirty. F looks to be African American and Quake is Caucasian. They both had brown eyes. The two of them are leading the attack on the Daemon and his crew. They have some new toys that were going to make quick work of the Phantom scum. "All of our troops are ready to go." said Quake. "Activate the Ogre Crushers right now." said F as he pressed a button on his phone.
Inside of the armored trucks, twenty S shaped blue lights appeared within in the trucks. The sides of the trucks opened up as the sounds of metal clanged being it sounded like marching and they were very big robots. They had a very streamlined figure with grayish white armor. Their torso had the shape of the letter T being that it had grayish white chest armor being that it was hiding the dark blue wiring that connected everything together aka the arms, head, and legs.
The robots had a cockpit being that it was hidden by the chest plate. Their long arms being almost five feet and has sharp shoulders. The joints ,that were connected to the forearms, were very hidden being that it could be seen as a weakness. The robots's right forearm has five long fingers which are razor sharp and left forearm is a really big cannon that looks to be the same length of the other arm. It looked deadly being the barrel has a pentagon shape to it.
The legs of the units are layered with gray armor being that the feet looked to be razor sharp and very painful to touch. The heads look to be very much like a fish bowl with a large x shaped visor that was glowing blue. Fifty six ,twenty feet tall, robots stood there with the two agents smiling upon seeing them in action. "They're ready to go and going to kill some Phantom scum Agent F." said Quake with a smile. "It times to begin Operation: Phantom Elimination." said F.
The robots soon marched into Cypress Park being that they soon got the attention of the monitoring systems that were linked to Ash. The information of their machines went into the Phantom and he said,"You'll be perfect.". He soon left his lab ,aka the ruins of Champion Tech, and heading toward City Hall. He phased into the office and he saw Daemon sitting there with Daisy glaring hard at the Phantom being that several Pestcrushers followed suit.
Daemon looked bored as he said,"What is it now? I gave you a lab and you still find something to complain about.". "I'm so sorry that I'm stopping your eighty seventh make out session but you should know that we have some uninvited guess." said Ash. "So? Just send some of our forces to handle them." said Daisy. "No shit. I'm not stupid like your pets. These machines were made to kill our kind." said Ash showing them a projection of the Ogre Crushers.
Ash said,"They've been working on this thanks to the data gained by Vicky. I wonder how they gained that information.". "So have anyone gone to them yet?" said Daemon. "Not yet. They are currently eating and by my calculations, they are slowly heading toward us and staying away from any of those dumb humans." said Ash. "Okay. Tell Halphas and Scarlet to meet us there. Lets go give them a warm welcome." said Daemon. He flew off with Daisy going after him.
Back at Zane's house, Jim was in the basement taking over Kevin's job ,sending messages out, being that he soon saw something on the monitor. It was an army of robots marching toward City Hall and he had a feeling that were from Swarm due to them having the same signature as Vicky's suit. He soon took a second to marvel at the machines before rushing upstairs to find Danny, Gwen, Kevin who was eating, and Sophie.
The five were showing them as Jim said,"I still can't believe that we're being saved by Swarm. It's quite weird.". "I may be against them and Vicky for killing innocent Phantoms but being stopping those monsters, I'll be okay with that." said Gwen. "Those machines look really advanced but can they stop Ash?" said Kevin. "I really hate to say this but you're right Kevin." said Danny as Gwen punched him lightly. "We just have to hope right?" said Sophie.
As the Ogres reached City Hall, there were no signs of the Phantoms that had take over town. Ash sent a message to all of their forces to leave the robots to the five of them. This brought the robots to see Ash, Daemon, Daisy, Halphas, and Scarlet Demon standing in front of the building as the Ogres identifying the five Phantoms with three of them being Phantoms and two being something else but they still aimed their big cannons right at them.
Daemon smiled ,as he showed amusement, and he saw that there was also soldiers insides of the army of robots. He soon saw Agent F and Quake standing in front of the robots and he soon remembered that he was back in his dimension being that they opposed him like they did now. "You guys are way too early to the party. I mean I would wait till the end of the week to take over this country where its people fight each other over the stupid shit." said Daemon.
Agent F said,"You'll see that our Ogre Crushers will be your death along with the rest of your kind so make your final requests.". "We're just going to ignore them by the way." said Quake. "You're cute but you're dumb like I was." said Daemon. He stood in front of the group as Quake said,"Activating targeting systems.". "Fire!" said F. The robots aimed their weapons and fired on Daemon. They flew at him at an incredible speed ,being faster than light, and they soon reached him.
They were stopped by a barrier which sent the beams to scatter and fly into buildings. The agents were shocked as the robots kept on going. "This is sad. I mean I only had to think about it and send those blasts away. I guess mastering my Telekinesis was worth it. You guys can leave. I can handle them with ease or perhaps, I show them the real army of mine." said Daemon. The rest of his group flew off.
He looked back at the robots with him saying,"I better save some of them for Ash. We could use them to spread fear.". He disappeared with the robots looking for him. "Find him now!" said F. "I'm trying but they lost his Nether Signature." said Quake messing with the remote. Daemon appeared from behind him and he grabbed the remote. He soon floated above them as he said,"What does this button do?". He pressed a button as the robots aimed their weapons on them.
Daemon said,"You know that you can't fight back right? Ash has already hacked into their systems so they belong to me. You can try to fight back but trust me, it will be a slaughter.". The robots soon led the agents off as the Resistance watched Swarm failed. Gwen turned off the monitor as she looked at Danny who was clenching his fist. Kevin ran out of the basement with Gwen telling Sophie to go get him.
Gwen crossed her arms as she said while looking at Danny,"What should we do now Danny? I mean we're very much screwed.". "We can't let this bring us down. We need to find their flaws and make sure that those bastards pay." said Danny. Meanwhile, Lilith was watching the same footage that the resistance had gotten. Ever since the arrival of Daemon and his group, she had kept a close eye on him and he reminded her of Zane but older and far more in tune with his Nether than Zane is.
This man had power and influence being that he made Cypress Park his kingdom and can control a powerful Nether very much like Zane. Specter Samurai stood there nearby Lilith as the two worked together. "So did our scouts find anything?" said Lilith. "Daisy seems to be his lover, Halphas and Scarlet are his enforcers, and Ash is planning on taking over Daemon's empire plus the tech expert. What's your plan?" said Specter.
Lilith said,"He shows his might through his brute force and intimidation. I doubt that he's smart as well being that he's just the muscle. I'm going to get back Natasha and whatever happened to Zane is a shame but I'm going to save her.". "So what's the plan?" said Specter. "It's simple. You'll see what happens when you try to steal the woman I love." said Lilith. It was later that same day and a game of Run and Servitude was going on.
A voice said,"It's funny. Our lives are now better under his rule. It's been only a couple of days since we met Daemon making this place better to live in for Phantoms. I love hearing humans crying brings me joy. You should tell me where those who resist his will and bring them out of their hole.". "You do know that he's currently asleep right now Jester?" said a male's voice as the two Phantoms looked at their capture person.
It was Mack Osborne being that he tried to join the resistance but he failed being that he was trying to undo the shield for Daemon. He did this because he was promised a seat of power by Daemon but the A-List member didn't know that Daemon was lying. "You're right Crunch. I think we should wake him up so would you Riveter?" said Jester. The teen was soon awaken and he saw the three standing there. Jester was the leader of the trio consisting of himself, Crunch, and Riveter.
He went closer to the teen as he said,"Why did you fail Daemon when he was just a teen back in his dimension?". "What are you talking about?" said Mack. "You teased him or should I say that it was your counterpart but I don't care. Daemon was once a very shy kid but here's the best part of this little thing. Your group teased him because you could. Daemon will take revenge on you and the rest of the A List." said Jester. "I don't know what are you talking about." said Mack.
Crunch said,"Wow. I forgot how dumb you human could be. You should be lucky that you aren't a woman and that robotic Phantom is be kept back. He's so messed up being that he wanted to make any woman ,that he finds attractive, into one of his girls and make them feel really happy by using one of his machines. It's so messed up. I have to thank Lord Daemon for keeping him in his place.". "For sure." said Riveter.
Jester said,"Crunch. Send him back to where we keep the others.". The Phantom flew off with the teen as Riveter said,"Wow. You're getting really good at this.". "Thanks man. I guess we should get going back to work." said Jester. "You're right. We should finish up quick." said Riveter. The two flew away and it was soon night time. During the night, Daemon's Phantom army didn't operate being that they had the Ogre Crushers working instead.
Despite them being machines, they were unable to enter the shield around Zane's house being that Kevin made sure that Ash didn't win against him. All humans lived in fear of those who took over their hometown in one day. Right now, Sophie was currently heading back to their base being that she was getting a first aid kit that she remember that her parents had before they were captured by one of the parties during the start of the invasion. She found herself at Zane's house.
She didn't know Zane well but she knew that he was a way better guy than Brad and Kevin during the election. She also knew that he was paired up with several girls being that he was called a player ,like Mack, despite him having no idea about that. She was going to fight the Phantoms that took over her town being that she knew that not all of them were bad according to Danny. She made sure that she stayed out of the way of any Phantoms that were out just causing mayhem.
She was tempted to attack them but the first aid matter more. She went a different way back home as she spotted the house. It may look rather small on the outside but according to Ed, Natasha had these house upgraded to handle anything. She walked into the barrier and went into the house. She couldn't help but shed a couple of tears with her thinking,"Legion Zero. You aren't mad with us are you for what we've done right? Please save us.". She soon went to bed.
The next day, another person decided to take the change at escaping Cypress Park. It was the former dealer Frankie. He had contacted the Odium Society ,thanks to Apazar leaving his number behind after the whole Cinder Fiasco, and they promised that they would save him from Daemon who was currently making business rather slow for him unlike before. "Almost out of this hell hole. It's going to be so nice enjoying some business and this is so..." thought Frankie.
He soon saw that the hunting party was coming toward them being that they've been chased him for awhile now but the one that stuck out to him was Vicky ,currently still in costume and currently on her hoverboard, and she was leading the group. The Phantoms that joined her mainly wanted to see what Ash had told them about using this woman who killed their kind and now, she was being used to hurt her own race. They found it funny in some sick way.
Vicky tried to fight back but Ash had complete control over her body being that she was his personal puppet unable to fight back. She tried her best but it failed. She fired a beam which stopped the man and he fell down to the ground. The teen floated over to him slowly as Ash had sent this message to all of those who either opposed Daemon or was just hiding. Inside of Zane' house, Heidi and Roxy were watching this with cold hard looks on their pretty faces.
Jim was shocked and also angered. He couldn't do anything to stop her being used by that man so he felt like crap. Vicky aimed at her pistol at him as she said in a robotic voice,"Any last words human scum?". "Screw you and your master! I hope he dies!" yelled Frankie. She soon blasted him as he was soon gone. Vicky screamed ,in her head, in horror as she had killed someone. The Phantoms behind her cheered. The broadcast ended and the TV turned off ending the game.
Roxy said,"I can't believe that guy. He's even worse than Daemon.". "You're right." said Heidi. "That robot is using my daughter to kill anyone who gets in his way. I'm going to make him pay." said Jim as the two girls looked at each other with them not saying a word. However, this day had one more surprise waiting for them. Lilith had entered the town with Specter Samurai. "This has gone one for too long. I'm putting an end to this." said Lilith as she turned into Sovereign.
Specter said,"Shouldn't we wait for some members of the Odium Society Sovereign? Derrick had promised us some after they found out what happened to Fallout. His body was almost destroyed by several wounds upon coming back from Blacktomb.". "Blacktomb? That's the worst prison in the Omniverse right? Why should it matter?" said Sovereign. "His body looked to have suffer from ten plus years of injuries." said Specter.
Sovereign shrugged as she said,"That doesn't matter Specter. I'm going to stop Daemon. His Nether Signature is a mixture of Zane was but much stronger. I shall allow him rule of this city for his assistance in taking over the world and become the real leader of the Odium Society by taking over this Earth. I'll just need my Natasha before I can do this.". "And what if he says no to your plan? I hope for your sake it works." said Specter.
Sovereign said,"I stole those items from Spiro and replaced them." She was holding the Gauntlets of Power and Crown of Rage. "These two things make me powerful than he'll ever be Specter but even without them, I'm stronger." said Sovereign. "Should we get going?" said Specter. "Yes but lets stay out of that cybernetic Phantom's radar. We know about his limits." said Sovereign. The two flew over to City Hall with them staying away from the scanners.
Meanwhile, Daemon was walking into a home. In the start of his conquest, Daisy and her pets took care of all of the servants working and living here being that the house looked like a tornado went through it. However, two rooms were untouched being that he opened one of those doors. He saw his prisoners being that they were Zane's family plus two of the most special ladies to his heart according to his research here. He put them in two different rooms and he was going to see them both.
Ana was helping Atem sleep because the young mummy had nightmares. Atem saw his fathers ,both of them, dying right in front of him and he woke him up. Ana kept telling his nephew that her brother was still alive but she was starting to doubt that little theory. The little sister looked to see that Kania was doing the same thing to Wolfram. She knew that the puppy was the youngest one in the room so he was the most upset about Zane's "Death". Daemon soon entered the room.
Daemon looked at them as Kania and Wolfram growls at him. "I'm not here to talk with you mutts. So got to sleep right now." said Daemon. Ana soon saw that the two Phantoms were soon asleep. "You're lucky that I'm in control for now." said Daemon. "What do you mean by control?" said Ana. "I guess you don't know what I mean. Heard about the Trastry? Your brother faced off against one before. Tell me what you know and you know what will happen if you don't." said Daemon.
Ana said,"He said that it was a big worm that controlled Spiro Midnight in order to destroy Cypress Park for someone. He didn't know who the controller was. Why are you asking?". "None of your dam business prisoner. Good bye for now prisoner." said Daemon. He was gone and Ana wiped away the tears off her nephew's face. She could tell that Atem really missed his father as she said,"Hurry back please big brother.".
In the other room, Arturo was sleeping with Karen and Kristen looking at Natasha. Natasha had taken the news the worst even more than Atem and Wolfram. That's saying a lot given that Atem is having nightmares and Wolfram lost his master. "Karen. Do you really believe what that guy said to us the other day?" said Kristen. "About him killing Zane or you being his girlfriend after we had those robot babies and after your birthday?" said Karen.
Kristen said with a blush,"The former Karen. I mean how would Zane know this guy? I mean he's a Phantom and he knows us so well. I mean it makes no sense to me.". "It's because me and Zane are tied together by fate." said a voice. The three women soon turned to see Daemon ,in his Zane guise aka the one form Episode 51, and he said,"Let me say my peace before you attack me.". "Why are you cosplaying as my son?!" yelled Natasha as she grabbed his shirt collar.
Daemon said,"Can't you tell who I am mother?". Natasha let go as Karen said,"You're Zane.". "From a dimension set ten years in the Prime Dimension's future. Our relationship was different than in this one Karen and Kristen. I was only friends with Danny and later Gwen. Karen, you were this cute girl who was a genius. I wanted to ask you out but I was scared of you finding out the truth about my powers. Your Zane likes you too." said Daemon.
The teens were shocked by this revelation as Daemon said,"He likes you too Kristen. He also likes Nova, and Roxy. He didn't want to ruin the friendship with all of you so he played the part of a dense idiot. He's quite an actor unlike his father ever was. I didn't know Shawn Alvarez because my father is someone else that you know. I was ,at first, scared of myself but now, I'm Daemon and no longer Malik Vincent Alvarez.". "How did you get your powers?" said Kristen.
Daemon looked at her with him turning back into his Phantom form. "Kristen. I got my powers from protecting my version of Kristen and Roxy from a Phantom on my first day of High School. I'll tell you that you know the identity of the Phantom being that it was a vampire. You'll see what I mean in due time. Keep an eye on the TV." said Daemon. He flew back over to City Hall with him seeing that his castle's door was blasted off. "Huh. I think she's more powerful than he ever was." said Daemon.
He walked through the building using his powers to search for the intruders being that he could sense two of them. He saw several destroyed chess soldiers and he soon reached the office. He opened the door to see that Sovereign was sitting in his chair with the Spectral Samurai to the left of her. He noticed that the vampire was wearing the Gauntlets of Power and Crown of Rage. "Took you long enough. You seem to be just like Zane." said Sovereign.
Daemon said,"Leave now vampire mistress before I stain this room with your blood in a matter of moments. Phantoms bleeds the same as humans do except their blood gives human super strength and powers. What do you want?". "You have Zane's unique way with words. Do you know see what I'm wearing?" said Sovereign. "Trinkets?" said Daemon. "No! They are the Gauntlets of Power and Crown of Rage! They will give me unlimited power!" said Sovereign.
Daemon yawned as he said,"Like I said before. Trinkets. This is just sad.". "Not at all! Witness real power child!" yelled Sovereign. Specter watched as his master punched Daemon in the face causing the Phantom to be sent back. He landed against a wall as Daemon looked at Sovereign. He placed his hand on his face as he saw that it was bleeding. "You're stronger than him. I guess I'll have to kill you as well." said Daemon slowly standing back up.
Sovereign said,"I guess you're going to listen to my proposal?". "Sorry but I'm not into older woman at all." said Daemon. "You must learn the hard way then." said Sovereign. She was about to fire off a Red Nether Blast but Daemon soon appeared in front of her. She was soon kicked into the wall of the office hard as she screamed out in pain. Specter was shocked as he thought,"He can move faster than even Spiro can. That was just like Zane's Speed when he's Swift Form.".
Daemon said,"And here I thought that one of the "smartest" and richest woman in this country would have brought back up beside for the rejected Scarlet Demon. It's sad really.". He soon fired his purple flames at Sovereign which caused her to scream. Sovereign coughed up blood as she said,"How did you move so fast and what's with your fire Nether? Answer me!". She soon saw that Daemon was holding both Gauntlets as he smashed them to pieces. "How did you?" said Sovereign.
Daemon said,"You really need to get your ears checked old hag. The Gauntlets of Power and Crown of Rage are nothing more than just a normal crown and gauntlets. Spiro used them to limit his power but that's just an old wives tale. Most Phantoms believe it because they don't want to mess with the Emperor of the Prime Terrarune. There is a Phantom stronger than Spiro ever was and his name is Sivarth.".
The two Phantoms look confused as Daemon said,"This Phantom was locked up because it was so dangerous and destructive. There's a rumor that he was created by one of those Eazairvians but who knows? He was freed thanks to Johnny Vincent and he went into the Phantom that comes after him so who has his Nether Signature?". "Zane." said Sovereign. "Good. You're not a complete idiot but you're still an idiot." said Daemon.
He kicked the vampire in the stomach which sent her back to her human form with Daemon looking at Specter. "You know that I can tell that your boss wanted me to work with her or kill me right? It's so obvious that isn't happening. I want to know why I should spare your lives and not send you to the final spot for all beings." said Daemon. Specter couldn't speak because he was so scared as Daemon soon knocked the two of them out.
Soon, all of the TVs in Cypress Park turned on gaining everyone's attention. They were shocked to see that Daemon was currently holding the very beaten Lilith Rune in the air nearby his castle. Inside of the house that was pretty much a prison, Natasha was extremely confused on two things. Why was Lilith here and Daemon attacking her to begin with. "So who is she again?" said Karen. "Didn't she help you, Ed, and Reggie built Zane's suit that Legion Zero used against Spiro?" said Kristen.
Daemon said,"People of Cypress Park, I have got a little surprise for you. You must know who this woman Lilith Rune. She's one of the richest women in the United States. Like most of your kind, it seems that she's hiding a secret. Lets see it shall we?". The people were confused with them soon finding out to show that Lilith had soon became Sovereign with her glaring at Daemon who just smiled as he said,"Tada.".
Natasha was stunned as she said,"That's the Phantom who Zane fought in New York!". Karen and Kristen looked at each other with Arturo sighing. "Lilith Rune is a Phantom. She's a Cross Species just like Zane was. You think you can do so much with them. Try and figure it out Swarm. I hope for a real change. On the day of this town's anniversary, I plan to kill someone and all will see. You can try and stop me then Resistance. I'll be waiting." said Daemon as the TVs turned off.
Daemon soon placed the beaten Sovereign in front of a building. "Lets see if they can act with this power under their belts." said Daemon. He left the area laughing as Sovereign turned back to normal with her seeing three people walking to her. It was Agent F and Quake with Marilyn behind them as Lilith said,"Help me please Marilyn. We're old friends right?". "Bring this creature into my lab. I have an idea on how to use this power to my advantage to kill Daemon." said Marilyn.
Next time,
What will Marilyn use with Lilith's power? What is up with Daemon? Is he truly under the control of the Trastry or not? It's like he has two different personalities! Will Karen and Kristen figure out the truth about Zane being Legion Zero?! Who is he going to kill on the town's anniversary? And will Zane ever find out about this? This and more next time on Zero!
