Zero Episode 70 Worst Future Ever PT 21 The Preparations to the Execution

A/N: Yep. We're in the second to last arc of the Worst Future Ever. I'm going to say that this arc is going to be easily over 5 episodes long. We'll have a pretty short arc after this one but I promise that Season 3 of Zero will ,I hope, start in the first fourth of the year being January to March. We're going to see Warrior kicking some ass and seeing some new faces. It's going to be interested for sure I can promise you that. Lets begin with Zane's group. This episode is going to be long

Narrator P.O.V.
Zane was currently sitting on the bow ,also known as the front, of the ship as he heard,"Zane. What are you doing?". Zane saw Daryl standing there with Zane saying,"I guess I'm just getting prepared for the battle ahead of me.". "I thought you would be eating Zane. You'll need your strength." said Daryl. "Yeah but for some reason, I'm not very hungry. I feel scared." said Zane. "You're fighting against a powerful opponent. Will you be ready to fight?" said Daryl.

Zane jumped down to Daryl as he said,"Yeah. He's very strong but he's weak.". "You and him have a lot in common don't you?" said Daryl. "We may be the same person but we took different paths. It's because of the explosion." said Zane. "Do you think that's going to happen again?" said Daryl. "I'm going to stop it. So did you guys contact the group on the Prime Earth?" said Zane. "We tried that Zane but Frank accidentally destroyed the communication systems." said Daryl.

Zane sighed as he said,"I don't know Frank very well but I do know Henry. He did something didn't he?". "Yes. So how do you know Danny? He's your friend according to Lucius but from what I can gather, you and him have a bond more like brothers." said Daryl. Zane looked at his right arm as he said,"We are like brothers. We've been friends for a decade now and I can't see my life without him by my side or anyone else. I know that he'll died one day but I'm not going to let that happen today.".

Daryl said,"I see Zane. Your conviction is strong. Oh, I need to tell you something before we go to this war that makes Blacktomb look tame.". "Are you getting cold feet Daryl? I mean you can back out nothing and I wouldn't think any less of you. You helped me in the prison and you're a friend of my father so I can't hate you too much." said Zane. "I owe your father a lot so I'm going to this war regardless of my feelings." said Daryl.

Zane said,"So what's up?". "After this, I'm going to help Liv and your cult of prisoners and the folks from Freedom World. We'll find Shawn for you." said Daryl. "Thanks you winged bastard. So how much longer do we have left?" said Zane. "A few more hours. You should get some rest and maybe some food." said Daryl. "You're right." said Zane. The two walked toward the main part of the ship as Zane thought,"I'm coming back home you guys.".

Back in Prime Cypress Park, Cypress Park was preparing for the execution of Danny Malone. The humans stayed out of their way during this. Several Phantoms were getting ready for the battle ahead because of a rumor. Warrior ,the Prime Earth's strongest man and hero, was rumored to try and stop their fun being that Daemon ,being controlled by the Trastry, was waiting for Zane. His soul knew that something bad was going to happen.

Daemon was currently on the top of City Hall which was part of the battleground. He could his army preparing being that several destroyed vehicles remained. An army of robots and crazy phantoms were roamed the city looking for humans. Ash issued an order to find anyone that could find being that they'll need more than just robots and Phantoms to defeat Warrior. He knew that his counterpart's villains were scared of his might. 

He felt Daisy's body pressed up against him as he said,"Daisy. You should be with the others.". She wrapped his right arm around her slim waist as she pulled herself closer to others. Daemon didn't ,at all, mind Daisy's affections toward him being that she was a powerful Phantom being that she was a good soldier. "Halphas needs to have a word with you before the execution." said Daisy. "Lets go then." said Daemon as the two phased through the roof.

They didn't noticed that they were being watched by a robotic insect. Its head looked like Ash as it watched them. Inside his lab, Ash was watching everything going on as the cybernetic Vicky was working on something. "Looks like Malik's getting ready for the end. I need to make my move and I can't have expecting anything." said Ash. He pressed a button on the control panel to his left. A wall on the far side of his lab went open as three machines stood there.

They looked to be mechanical female Phantoms (Celeste, Isis, and Jennifer) being that they each wore a similar outfit to Vicky but slightly different. They had silver metallic collars and their bottoms were platform heels for some reason. They looked more like Phantoms compared to Vicky who was more robot than woman at this point. "Come here Unit G." said Ash. Without saying a word, the robot of Isis walked toward Ash.

She stood a couple of feet away from him as Ash said,"Head over to the Alvarez House and bring Kevin to me. I need to have a word with my partner.". "As you command." said Fake Isis as she flew out of the lab. "I'm so happy that I was able to replicated you three. You far surpass the originals in every way imaginable. It's a shame that you're nothing compared to my masterpiece." said Ash as he looked at Vicky.

Before, she would have tried to blast him but she couldn't thanks to him putting something into her system that wouldn't allow her to attack him or anyone like him. "You were so determined to try and kill me for ruining you but I perfected you. Humans or Phantoms are so weak but combing you with metal makes years stronger than Daemon could ever be. You'll be the main weapon while your sister won't be. Still, I wonder why Kevin works with them." said Ash.

Ash heard nothing as he said,"Before you're change, you along with everyone else would find me a freak for liking machines more than humans and Kevin is the same. I think you're finished with his toys. You're needing one more upgrade. We're going to do it fast so that Daemon doesn't get too mad.". The Phantom held an electrical bone saw as he walked toward Vicky who was screaming on the inside.

Outside of Cypress Park, a small group stood outside of the barrier that kept everything inside of the city. It was Buster Eastman, Felicia Howard, Lynette Walker, Sonya Barrett, Tomas Jones, and Vega Ramos with all six of them wearing their costumes. Buster grew an extra set of arms being that he was wearing a sleeveless navy blue full-body costume and his mask covered his mouth. He has the symbol of DNA in the center of his costume.

He's wearing gray SWAT team styled gear with white gloves and black combat boots. Felicia's body was currently covered in orange feathers. They matched her large, orange wings. Her costume is a black bodysuit being that she wore gray SWAT styled gear over her chest, forearms, and legs but it didn't hurt her wings. Her hair was now red and her eyes were now green. She looked more like a bird than human.

Lynette's costume is a purple helmet that covered most of her head being that her face wasn't covered being that she wore a purple dress with black tights, armor that covered her arms and legs, and white high heeled boots with matching colored gloves. Sonya was wearing the same costume that she wore when she was a villain. Tomas's costume is a tan colored helmet being there is a glass like visor over his eyes.

He's wearing a gold ,skin tight, long sleeved t-shirt with crimson gloves, dark blue pants, and gold boots. Vega is wearing a dark gray cape that has a hood. He's wearing a pair of navy blue swimming goggles that looks like he has blue eyes. He has two gold circles shoulder armor that holds his cape down. He wears a gold tunic ,over his chest and torso, with a single black star on it. He wears a gold belt with black tights. He wears a long black sleeved shirt under his tunic.

He wears gray boots and gold gloves. The six of them were going to save the captured citizens of Cypress Park being that Luke and Trevor asked them to do this while the rest of them are focused on keeping Daemon busy. "Look at this once promising city you guys. I can't believed that this city was destroyed in only a week. These poor people. I wish I could teleport them all out but my powers are so limited at my level. I can make my portals go so far." said Vega.

Felicia said,"That's fine Vega We'll be able to save them with your powers. We need to hurry because we can't let innocent people die by the nuke. Teach was only able to delay it not completely stop it. It sucks.". "Those bastards in Swarm are so xenophobic toward Phantoms and anyone who isn't pure humans. Am I using that right?" said Sonya. "That sounds right Sonya but I could be wrong. The radiation ,from the nuke, could kill innocent people through the state." said Tomas.

Lynette said,"It seems that we should move now. Daemon is distracted right now according to Luke whose a good man.". The six walked into the city through the east side. Their scanners ,made by Maria, detected some human life. Their plan was to head in there during the fight and get them out of harms way before the nuke goes off. "We're meeting some members from the Resistance right?" said Felicia.

Buster said,"Right Felicia. We'll need more help and they'll send three teams being that one will help Luke's group, one will search the west side, and one will join us on the east side rescue. This mission is going to be intense because Daemon isn't an opponent to take lightly. He's a counterpart of Legion Zero, our good friend. We may not have known him for a long period of time but we can admit that his power is nothing to scoff at. Lets go." said Buster. "Yes sir." said the group.

It had been thirty minutes since Buster's group entered the city and Marilyn was still finding a way to kill Daemon. She was done in her lab working on adjustments to her suit as more of Lilith was being transferred into the suit. Lilith wanted to kill Marilyn for what she done to her. She didn't care about Daemon being that she knew that he wouldn't care too much about her. She couldn't move but she was able to think. She wanted someone to come and save her. 

Back at the Resistance, the group was separated. The twenty that joined them helped them being that the other half is Courtney's Father, Courtney's Mother, Courtney's Younger (Two) Sisters, Crystal, Mizuki, Ramona, Susan, and Tony. They were out an supply run while the other half was meeting with Ray's group. The twenty decided to join up with the Resistance being that they soon went into three different groups.

The ones that stayed at Resistance H.Q. aka Zane's House are the biggest group ,being thirteen men and women, consisting of Andre, Camille, Crystal, David, Ed, Heidi, Jim, Kevin, Mizuki, Ramona, Selena, Susan, and Stan. The group going to join Luke were Gwen, Nova, Rachel, Ray, Roxy, Sophie, Tara, and Walter. The final group was going to meet up with Bane and Celeste being that the rest of the Phantoms ,at Cypress High , which was on the west side of town.

It was Courtney, both of Courtney's sisters, and Tony were going to meet up with them so they can maybe get some more allies just in case things go south. The group that was going to help Buster's group in finding the others are Courtney's parents, Jasmine, Marcia, and Travis. In the kitchen, Jim was sitting at the table drinking coffee. He heard rumors about his daughters being turned into a cyborg and he couldn't handle it.

He heard,"Are you going to be alright Mr. Mills?". He turned to see Susan standing there with him saying,"You were my daughter's friend right?". "I'm still her friend. She may have her problems but I was still her friend." said Susan. "So what's the plan? I wasn't paying attention." said Jim. "The others are going to try and save the others that were captured by Damon. They must be going after Daemon after this but I could be wrong." said Susan.

Upstairs, Kevin was tinkering with his suit to improve its combat abilities. He was going to join up with Ray's group after he finished up with his suit. He soon heard a tapping sound coming from the window as he looked up to see Isis ,the robotic version, looking at him. He was in confused that the Phantom who once gave him his powers but he was confused why she was here, how she made it through the barrier, and also why she's mechanical. 

She floated into the room as Kevin said,"Why are you here? And are you the real Isis?". "I'm not the real Isis that once gave you your powers so long ago. I work for Master Ash and he needs you right now Kevin Wallace." said RI (Robot Isis). "You can't be serious? Your master was using me to take over my dam town." said Kevin. "Daemon is determined to kill Danny so he can bring out his true opponent and my master doesn't want that." said RI.

Kevin said,"So whose his true opponent?". "You know him but I can't tell you anything else. If you come with me, you can get your answers." said RI. Kevin was torn being that he wanted to defeat the man who did all of this but with his allies. Despite how much hell he went through. he was happy to have friends. He was curious about how this Isis got through the shield ,around the house, and Kevin said,"Lets go.". "Hold on." said RI. Kevin ,with his suit, was gone and heading to meet with Ash.   

As the two flew toward their location, Buster's team was slowly making their way toward the location of Daemon's prisoners. After checking an eight story building for any Phantom, they decide to wait for the group from the Resistance. Buster ,using his powers, replicated his eyes being that they can keep an eye for the resistance group or Daemon's group. "So do you guys think Marilyn is going to do something?" said Tomas. 

Lynette said,"Mostly likely. I mean both Agent F and Quake left her so they wouldn't get nuked. I could be wrong though.". "So are they nearby and how do we know what they look like?" said Sonya as she messed with some rubble. "I see them and we're going to attack the buildings when the time is right. Will you be ready Vega?" said Buster. "Yeah. I'll make a portal for us to go in and one nearby the barrier, save the innocent people, and help the others." said Vega.

Below them, the group of Courtney's parents, Jasmine, Marcia, and Travis stood there. The father has black hair with him having noticeable sideburns and brown eyes. His figure is very muscular being that he has a strong brow ridge, a cleft chin, and wrinkles around his forehead. He wears a black and orange rock and roll themed jacket with orange folds around both wrists and shoulders, a white shirt that has a skull in the center, black jeans and gray belt, and dark brown combat boots.

The mother has her blond hair in a rocker girl style that has fair skin, blue eyes, and freckles that her eldest daughters has. She's wearing a red, purple, and white beaded necklace that was tied around her neck. She wears an orange top that shows off her cleavage a bit, black leather jacket with red buttons on each sides, short sleeves, and pink trimming. She's wearing blue denim jeans with a big red belt, a sapphire bracelet, and orange high heels.

The man said,"So those folks are in here?". "You're right Mr. Anderson." said Jasmine. "Girlie. You can call me Damon and my wife Shelly. Being called Mr. Anderson makes me feel old." said Damon as he smiled. The five walked in as Travis said,"So these people are friends with Legion Zero?". "Ray said that they were." said Marcia. Jasmine thought,"I really hope Ray tells them the truth about Zane because lying isn't a good thing.".

She knew about Zane being Legion Zero. She couldn't forget when Atem and Zane helped her and her village against Volcanis but she was shocked by Zane's true power upon seeing Daemon. "I think we're here you guys." said Shelly. The five saw Buster, Felicia, Lynette, Sonya, Tomas, and Vega were sitting there. "So you must be from the Resistance." said Buster. "We are. So are we the only ones older than twenty?" said Damon.

He was pinched by Shelly as she said,"And what is that supposed to mean?". "Nothing dear!" said Damon. "Anyway, what's the plan?" said Travis. "We're going to invade them once the time is right so can you guess when?" said Sonya. "During the execution?" said Marcia. "Bingo. You win a prize after all of this is over." said Lynette. "Just rest for now. We'll be going soon." said Buster. "So who wants to play cards?" said Vega. The group looked at Vega as he said,"What?".

Back at Champion Tech, Robot Isis led Kevin through the hallways until they reached Ash's lab. The teen was shocked being that this place would normally be heaven but he couldn't stop feeling death in this paradise. He soon saw Ash walking into the room as he said,"It's so good to see you again. Do you need a drink?". "Why did you ask your concubine to come and get me?" said Kevin. "I'm hurt but why are you and me so different?" said Ash.

Kevin said,"Because you're a monster.". "And you've been called that by all of those people that you considered to be your friends. You have a theory about my glorious leader Daemon don't you? His robot army can look like Zane, he was posing as Zane for who knows how long, and perhaps you know who I really am. Tell me that I'm wrong." said Ash. "I do but I could be wrong. You better tell me you wanted me here or else." said Kevin.

Ash said,"I guess your childhood is gone now. I asked for you personally because I know how to defeat Daemon.". "Then why don't you do it? I mean you work for him don't you?" said Kevin. "You can't be serious? I work for him because he forced me to! I'm nothing more than a slave to our glorious emperor." said Ash. "You can't be serious. I mean you're the leader of all of the machines in town!" said Kevin.

Ash said,"You're not wrong but I come from the same dimension as Daemon. For years, I was slowly gaining power after the explosion that killed me in Cypress Park. I soon fell in love with Daisy but soon, we met Daemon. He almost killed me being that he took the love of my life and turned her into a concubine of his very own. I begged for mercy but he took Daisy and forced me into this mechanical suit from hell.".

Kevin said,"You and Daisy?". "Yes and I need you to free her from Daemon. We'll work together to be the real heroes." said Ash. "What do you need me to do?" said Kevin. "It's simple. Daemon will be too busy to focus on fighting his real opponent so you can kill him with that very impressive suit of yours. Crunch told me about it and well, I know that your power can destroy Daemon's essence easily. You're be the main force as my robots will be keeping the others busy." said Ash.   

Kevin said,"It sounds like a good plan.". "All of my plans are perfect Kevin. Trust me, I know you better than you think I do." said Ash. After going over the plan, Ash let Kevin and the robotic Isis leave his lab. As he watched Kevin leave through one of his camera, he began laughing like crazy. "I can't believe how much of an idiot he can be." said a voice. Ash turned to see his partner Halphas as he said,"I thought you were talking to Daemon about something.".

Halphas said,"He got busy with some last minute preparations. Were you serious?". "About me being in love with Daisy? Yes. He did steal her for me and put me in this suit. Kevin is going to be a good pawn for us. I mean we turned our glorious leader into a monster using a Trastry. He didn't want to do any of us but Daisy and Scarlet wouldn't have done shit. This dimension will be ours." said Ash as he began laughing with Halphas disappearing.   

After Robot Isis left him, Kevin pulled out his phone. He called Ray as he said,"Hey Ray. Daemon's robot bitch is going to try and take over Daemon's rule. He thinks that I'm working with him but I'm not going to betray you guys. You guys were nice to me and I'm not going to betray you guys. I'll see you guys soon and we're going to kick some ass.". He soon activated his suit as he went toward the battlefield.

Back in City Hall, one of Daemon's servants opened a door. "You five are needed. We're about to begin and Lord Daemon has requested you." said the servant. The room had Daisy with Carnage as Daisy pet the Phantom, Halphas, Jester, Vicky looking at the servant with a blank state, and Scarlet Demon. "So explain to me why we're starting early? It's rather strange to me." said Jester. "We have to be ready for anything that could happen." said the Phantom.

Vicky stood up as she walked toward the door. Scarlet joined her as Halphas said,"I'm guessing that you're pumped up too. I so didn't expected that at all.". Scarlet ignored him as Halphas sighed at his partner's actions. "We're going to have some fun aren't we boys?" said Jester as he went after them. "You know that I'll only listen to my beloved right weakling?" said Daisy as she and Carnage went with her. The hooded figure jumped up as he followed the others.

Two of Daemon's robots went to an room as one said,"Sir Wren. You're need.". One of them opened the door as a person stood there. He's a tall and extremely muscular man being he has faded green hair with the edges and tips of it being bright green. His eyes are blue and he has a noticeable scar over his left eye. He's wearing a long silver coat with a silver metal hammer accessory hanging off it being the coat collar is also steel.

He has gold plated shoulders pads on both arms. He's wearing a navy blue sleeveless shirt with gray pants and black combat boots. Any exposed part of his body was covered in bandages. "First off, you can call me Reid. I may be pals with Halphas but right now, I'm looking forward to a fight. I hope that he wasn't lying or else you two are dead." said Reid. He walked out of the room as the robots were so confused.

One of the several Phantom servants was leading a Phantom by the name of Aurel. He was a large Manticore like Phantom with him looking more human than lion. His two horns were large, sharp, and very dangerous. His body looked to be a red lion, his head has several rows of very sharp teeth very much like a shark, and bat-like wings. "Lets play!". said Aurel. The players are ready to begin and this battle will change several lives for the better and the worst.

Next time,
The battle begins with several powerful Phantoms and a secret truth about Danny is revealed. Will Buster and his team find the captured prisoners before the town gets nuked? When will Zane and his team arrive? Who is Ash really? Who are Aurel and Reid Wren? This and more next time on Zero!  

Zero Episode 69 Worst Future Ever PT 20 Worst Anniversary Ever Pt 5 The Final Events

A/N: Yep. I'm still not done yet. I think the Worst Future Ever is like a One Piece Saga being that it's several arcs in one. The best example of this to be the Summit War Saga being that it was Sabaody Archipelago Arc, Amazon Lily Arc, Impel Down Arc, Marineford Arc, and Post-War Arc. We'll be done maybe around 80. I did promise to say that I was going to start the spinoff by December but well, I guess I was wrong. I spend four plus weeks doing some updates and editing.

I rather make something good rather than rushed. I can promise me that it will be out during the third season of Fairy Tail which should come next year. I'm excited for it but I need only one thing from this season. Make Avatar and the Spriggian 12 competent. I'm not expecting them to become the next Akatsuki from Naruto but I rather have something that's good rather than bland. I think I rather have the Spriggians than Avatar given some improvement. Lets begin.

Narrator P.O.V.
It had been four hours since Kevin and Sophie tested Kevin's suit aka his invention that he spend several days on. To Kevin, it was a complete success being that he showed it off to the rest of the resistance. He told them that this could help them against Daemon but he told them that he couldn't defeat him by himself. Sophie ,along with some of the members, were shocked to see this side of Kevin being that Sophie saw the side of him a little bit earlier.

Flashback Narrator P.O.V.
"I was hoping that I would be able to test my suit on you Crunch." said Kevin. He was about to fire his cannon as Crunch said,"You got to be kidding me? You're just like....". The three unnamed Phantoms let out yells of anger as they charged at the teens. One of them went right toward Sophie as the other two went toward Kevin. Crunch stood there being that the Phantom going toward Sophie as he was holding a massive battle Ax.

He raises the weapon over his head being that he was ready to slice the teen in half. She dodged the attack by moving to her right, leaving the Phantom open for her to counterattack. She pulled out her Plasma Swiss Army Knife turning it into a katana. She sliced him and he howled out in pain. He went back from the attack as he could see a slash mark on his chest. He looked to see Sophie who turned her sword into a rifle and the phantom was hit by its bullet.   

Kevin was very impressed with his suit being that he was dodging the Phantom's attack being that his cannon was slowly charging up its blast. He was easily dodging their attacks being that he dodged the baseball bat wielding Phantom and he fired his cannon. A large green beam came out of the cannon as the baseball bat wielding Phantom was blasted back. His essence was damaged and Crunch flew off as the remaining Phantom ran off.

Kevin deactivated his suit as Sophie said,"I can't believe they would just leave behind their friends like that.". "I highly doubt that most Phantoms care about each other." said Kevin. "You may have a point but you need to tell me something." said Sophie. "What?" said Kevin. The two were heading back to their base as Sophie said,"You're telling the others about this right?". "Of course. I know this suit could defeat those Phantoms but well, I'm sure that it can't beat Daemon." said Kevin.

Narrator P.O.V.
This was of little importance being that they had two big problems facing them at the moment. The first one was Swarm's attempt at raising an army of humans to overthrow Daemon. They heard that Agent F and Quake were given the duty of finding people willing to fight. They found out, thanks to one of Kevin's inventions which was a ladybug camera, that they had about sixty people. This was more than the resistance.

Most humans knew well that if they don't mess with the Phantoms, they won't bother them. They did know the main Phantoms who caused all of this. Sophie was slightly shocked to see that so many people would go with Swarm but there was a rumor floating around. Somewhere in the city, there's a prison of the captured humans and Phantoms. Ray said that they were planning on sending a party to check if the rumor is true. The other problem was Daemon's message.

Gwen ,upon seeing the video, fainted after hearing Danny's execution date. Tara helped the Sorceress to a room where she can rest. Kevin told Roxy and Sophie that he'll make a plan to save Danny from being executed. Ed and Jim asked if they could help being that Kevin said sure. The three went off as Heidi, Jasmine, Ray, Roxy, and Sophie soon went out to check out the rumor being that Gwen and Tara were there to guard H.Q. just in case.

Back at Champion Tech, Ash was currently working on something. He had surgical equipment and a couple of mechanical parts. He held a scalpel being that he was completely focused on the object on the table. Upon getting Daemon's approval, he had been focused on his invention. He placed the scalpel back on the tray and grabbed an optical lens. He examined it before placing it into his project and he took a step back to admire his invention.

On the table, there was a machine and female hybrid. Her body was slender and it was very much like an hourglass figure. The woman had several metal plates on her body and it looked completely fused to her skin. Her forearms had openings being that it had several small gun barrels for an interesting surprise. She was wearing a interesting outfit being that it was a dark red full-body suit that was cut to look like an one piece.

Her chest was slightly exposed being that she was wearing black gloves that had an opening in her palms. She was wearing black thigh high books that looked to be curved. Her boots had jet boosters on the back of them. She has dark brown skin with long and wavy waist length black hair. Her right eye was missing being that it had a cybernetic eye. Her face looked half cybernetic being that she was now more mechanical than human.

Ash smiled as he said,"You're perfect. Awaken.". The female woke up being that she stretched and opened her eyes to see Ash. "Hey sexy. What's up?" said Ash. "You're that robot Phantom." said the female. "Yep. You're smarter than before. My name is Ash but you can call me Master Ash being that you're better than you were before Victoria Mills." said Ash. "What the hell are you....?" said Vicky. She was shocked to see her new self as it reflected off Ash.

Vicky said as she jumped off the table and went back from him,"What have you done to me?!". "Isn't it obvious? You're not longer a weak human but a powerful robot. You're also more of a Cyborg to be correct." said Ash. "You made me into a freak! You're dead!" yelled Vicky. She was going to throw the table at him but she couldn't. "Yeah. I put not hurting me in your programming. I'm not a dam idiot. Be lucky that I need you to prove my genius to my idiot master." said Ash.

Outside of the Swarm's makeshift base, it was filled with people. They were armed ,to the teeth, with equipment that will kill those Phantom bastards. A good chunk of the army were scared about going up against the dictator who was benevolent but his army was the bigger problem. After going through their final weapons checks, the small army marched toward City Hall with Marilyn sitting inside of the Emperor Juggernaut leading the charge.

She remember testing this machine on a Phantom. It was a female being that she was just minding her own business but she was killed by having her essence blasted by a blaster. Marilyn tested out the suit on her being that she was nothing more than a puddle. As an army, this group didn't look impressive being there were mostly adults and a third of them were the police. This part of the police weren't fans of Legion Zero before all of this began.

Thanks to a training program, Marilyn taught all of them how to use their weapons and make the final adjustments on her suit. The result of all of this ended up to be a highly trained army of men ,being that Marilyn was the only real woman in the army, armed with deadly weapons being that any Phantoms ,in their way, would be pretty much dead. She wanted to postpone the attack until during or after Danny's execution.

She wanted to do this because during the execution, Daemon would be distracted. Her superiors told her that this Phantom needed to be stopped no matter what. "Agent Gregory. We're ready." said Agent F. Marilyn nodded as she turned to face the army before her. "Everyone. We're going to take back our city from those freaks!" said Marilyn. The army cheered as she lead her army toward city hall. On the building, Daemon stood there watching the small army heading toward them.

Behind him, Daisy stood there with Carnage, Crunch, Daisy, Halphas, Jester, Riveter, Scarlet, and both the Chess Soldiers Pestcrushers were waiting for his orders. "So what do you want us to do sir? We're still busy with the preparations for the execution." said Jester. "You guys can go back to that. I can handle this using her." said Daemon. "Her honey?" said Daisy. "You're understand what I mean soon Daisy. You better be ready for a fight." said Daemon as he chuckled.   

As the humans reached City Hall, Marilyn was confused by the lack of Phantoms attacking them and it was seen confusing. She was sure that some Phantoms would have attacked him by now. She used her suit's systems being that she was looking for any invisible Phantoms being that she remembered that Lilith ,who was back at their HQ, being used as a battery and A.I. system. As they reached the street that led to City Hall, they noticed a group heading toward them.

Upon seeing them, Marilyn gave them a hand signal ,to the army, being that the army was ready to fire their weapons at the group. It was a group of twelve Daemons ,in his adult human form, being that they looked ready to kill the group. Marilyn saw this as a perfect chance to attack being that she knew that she wanted to kill Daemon. "KILL THEM!" yelled Marilyn. The robots were soon blasted by the bullets being that one of them had several holes thanks to the Gatling gun.

As the battle ended rather fast, Marilyn heard,"Wow. I forgot how brutal humans can really be but they suck at being quiet.". She turned to see Daemon floating above him. He stood there with a smile on his face. "You knew that they were my robot army but hell, you showed no mercy. I guess you want to kill me don't you Vivi?" said Daemon. "I have nothing to say to you but this. Die." said Marilyn as she aimed her Gatling Gun at Daemon.

Several bullets went toward Daemon as he tilted his head to the left. He made the bullets float in the air as he moved them toward some nearby buildings. They were destroyed as Marilyn was shocked by this. "KILL HIM NOW!!!" ordered Marilyn. The army fired their weapons on him being that he made a single wall of fire. The attacks melted upon contact with the wall. Nearby, Halphas held Daisy as he said,"Our leader is the stronger one of us so let him do this by himself.".   

Daisy was shocked to see that he was pelted by several bullets from the Emperor Juggernaut but her fear was gone being that he didn't show any sign of damage or pain from the weapon. The Gatling barrel was smoking as Marilyn lowered the weapon. The woman believed that she had killed Daemon but she was dead wrong. Daemon was clapping being that his body was covered with holes. "Wow. I can't believe you missed my Essence with all of those bullets." said Daemon.

His body slowly reformed back to normal. "Fire! Fire you idiots!" said Marilyn. The army couldn't being that they wasted most of their ammo on the robot army and the last bunch on Daemon. They were pretty much sitting ducks as Daemon watched Marilyn aiming the gun. "Okay. This is getting boring now. Time to play." said Daemon. He whistled as the ground began to shake. The army soon turned around to see a massive creature behind them.

It was a massive glowing dragon being that it was the dragon form of Mareona. The army looked at the dragon in fear as it looked at them. Smoke came out of the mouth as it licked its mouth looking at the humans. Several of them backed away in fear. "Allow me to tell you about Mareona and her brother Saul. They have the ability to turn into dragons through their necklace but this isn't Mareona or Saul." said Daemon.

Marilyn looked at the dragon as she aimed her weapon at the dragon. The dragon fired its fire being that it was dark red flames. The bullets did nothing against the flames being that the humans were soon held in dark red spheres. "Did you honestly think I was going to kill you all? Cute. You're going to be used for his experiments." said Daemon. Several chess soldiers grabbed the spheres as Marilyn was gone. "Coward. Wow, that thing can really move." said Daemon as the dragon roared.

Back in the Alvarez's ,plus Karen and Kristen, family prisons, Karen was looking at Danny who was sitting in the living room area. He was silent ever since he was captured by Halphas and he was going to die in two days. "Hey Karen. Are you okay?" said Danny. He soon smiled as Karen said,"Aren't you worried?". "About my execution? I guess I should be but I'm not." said Danny. "What makes you so sure?" said Karen. "Zane. You know about him being Legion Zero don't you?" said Danny.

Karen sat next to him as she said,"Arturo and Natasha told us a few days ago. He told us that we once knew it his secret but he erased our memory to protect us. That's Zane isn't he?". "Yeah Karen. I told him that we should tell you and Kristen. We missed Team Power. It was our team name being that we worked together to protect Cypress Park. Zane told us that he was going to tell you himself soon but well, things happen. Sorry about lying to you for so long." said Danny.

Karen hugged him as she said,"I guess Zane was hiding his crush on me and Kristen plus this.". "You knew?" said Danny. "Arturo is a pretty cool grandpa. I'm actually pretty jealous of Zane's family at times." said Karen. "Yeah but Zane deals with so much other stuff." said Danny. The two heard Atem stirring as Karen said,"We should go help the others in comforting him.". "You're right. Atem needs his aunts and uncle until his dad comes back." said Danny. They soon went upstairs. 

It was now Day 6 of Daemon's invasion as the most interesting thing that happened was the attempt at talking back Cypress Park was a failure. Daemon had unleashed a dragon being that it was very much a surprise by the emperor. The dragon had pretty much captured the army. Marilyn was left by herself. Swarm decided to pull out of trying to reclaim Cypress Park being that they decided to do something else.

Back on the other side of town, Ray said to his group,"Okay then. I think we found the area of their base but man, I was shocked to see that they picked this area.". The group of the four girls and a boy stood in front of the warehouse districts ,from Episode 32, as Roxy said,"I thought Daemon would know about this place. I mean he's Zane from an alternative dimension right? He didn't care about the high school despite being Zane.".

Ray said,"I guess Zane and Daemon grew up different. He did kill Zane or maybe it was one of those robots.". The five soon walked into the lot as Sophie said,"So do you guys know anything about that dragon?". "No idea Sophie. I remember that dragon attacking the prom but I guess Daemon has a dragon now." said Jasmine. "He has an army of robots so this shouldn't be such a shock to us." said Roxy.

Heidi said,"True but still. Do you think we can really win?". "I'm not sure but maybe, we need their help." said Ray. The ground started to shake as something came out of the ground. Walter stood there as he said,"Hey. What's up?". "Bedrock!" yelled Heidi and Roxy. The two were about to attack him as Ray said,"Stop!". The two looked at him as Walter said,"I guess people still think I'm a bad guy. You don't know how much time that I was attacked like twelve times.".

Jasmine said,"So are you the only member that isn't part of the resistance?". "Not exactly. Follow me but first." said Walter. Walter placed his hand on the ground as the five soon saw several spears ,made out of the Earth, hit several Phantoms behind them as Sophie said,"How long were they following us Walter?". "I honestly don't know girlie. I'm going to guess since you left your comfy base. Lets get going before more of them show up to avenge their allies." said Walter.

The six went deeper into the base as Heidi said,"So how many people are here?". "Excluding me, twenty. I've been their guardian since this whole mess started." said Walter. "Hasn't this been taxing on your body?" said Roxy. "It has but I have both the old man, doctor, little girl, and Crystal helping me out." said Walter. The six soon stood in front of an empty plot of land as Walter made the ground open up revealing stairs. The group went down the stairs as Walter closed the door.

Ray said as they were going down the stairs,"So why haven't Ash found you guys yet? I'm really curious.". "Ash may be a technology wizard but I'm sure that he hates Mother Earth. The only time that he came by here is with that one chick who was hunting down Phantoms before all of this mess started. She's still hunting Phantoms except she has no control of herself." said Walter. "Could it be because we're underground?" said Jasmine.

Walter said,"You may be right. That's what Crystal says but I'm not the smartest guy. I rather punch those bastards taking over our home but it's a stupid plan according to the old man.". They reached a main room as the six saw Andre, Camille, Courtney, David, Marcia, Nova, Rachel, Selena, and Stan just sitting there. Rachel looked up to see them standing there as she said with a smile,"You guys are okay!".

She ran over to hug him as Ray smiled. He took in the hug as he said,"I missed you too. We have a lot to talk about.". "You mean Zane dying by that bastard right?" said Andre. "That and several other things." said Roxy. The five sat with the group as Camille said,"Would you guys like something to drink? You must be thirsty right?". "Sure thing Camille was it?" said Jasmine. She nodded as David said,"I'll go with her Walter.". "Thanks." said Walter.

The teen and little girl left the room being that they went to get snacks. "So how did you guys survive for this long? I thought Daemon and his group would have gone after you guys. He's doing that right now so I was curious.". "It actually started right before Daemon trapped all of us in here for the past week. So who wants to tell the story? I'm game." said Walter. "Can I do it?" said Rachel. "Just tell us already." said Ray. "Okay. Lets begin." said Rachel.

Flashback Narrator P.O.V.
Karen and Rachel were running through Cypress Park. "Rachel!" said Karen. Rachel ignored her friend as she said,"We need to get out of here.". "Why Rachel? Did you know about Gwen being a witch? And where did the others go?" said Karen. The two stopped in front of Fantasia as Courtney walked up to them. "Hey you guys. So did you guys come from the school?" said Courtney. "We did Courtney. Did you know about Gwen being a witch?" said Karen.

Courtney said,"Seriously? That makes no sense.". "She isn't a witch Karen! She's a Sorcerer and you just need to trust me. I'll explain to you once we get somewhere safe." said Rachel. "You girls can come to my house. We're a family of badasses after all." said Courtney. "Um...." said Karen. "You girls are so cute but you're not leaving." said a voice. The three turned to see Halphas as Rachel pulled out her Swiss Army Plasma Knife turning into a gun.

Courtney said,"I'm going to take a guess and say that he's a friend of Daemon.". "Wow. You're way too smart to work here." said Halphas. "So why are you here? Shouldn't you be fighting Morph and Ray?" said Rachel. "And I guess you didn't know about me destroying those two noobs. So you could give me Karen before I have to get serious?" said Halphas. "Rachel. Hand me that gun. I can handle him while you call the cops." said Courtney.

Rachel nodded as she threw the gun to Courtney. She fired it at Halphas who said,"Okay. I guess this is going to be fun.". Rachel was about to called the cops ,using Karen's phone, but they heard,"You girls are quite annoying to say the least.". They turned to see Halphas standing there as Karen said shocked,"Wait. I thought you were.". The two girls saw two of him as Rachel said,"You know how to use Animus?". "Well, I guess so. See you later Rachel." said Halphas.

She blasted Rachel back as he took Karen. He flew off as Courtney ran over to her. "Are you okay Rachel?" said Courtney. "Karen? Are you okay?" said a man's voice. "It's her dad. Scott." said Rachel as Courtney handed her the phone. "Hey Mr. Castro. It's me Rachel." said Rachel. "Is my daughter okay?" said Scott. "She was just captured by one of the Phantoms who attacked the high school and he was heading toward...." said Rachel.

The phone was soon blasted to pieces as Courtney turned around to see Carnage. "You humans can be so annoying you know that? I think bringing two people so close to the master will get me praise." said Carnage. He was about to attacked them but he was soon sent flying. It was a giant rock fist as Walter appeared. "Wow. So do you girls need some help?" said Walter. "Yes. We need to find some allies and fast." said Courtney. The three soon left the restaurant as things went to hell.

Narrator P.O.V.
Roxy said,"Wow. So did Walter save you guys the same way as Courtney and Rachel?". "Yep. I was a hero and not a felon. I'm pretty sure that I could handle Daemon by myself." said Walter. "Wow. You have a bigger ego than Kevin." said Heidi. "Yeah. It's so weird. I never thought that there would be any one who has a bigger ego than Kevin." said Susan. "You guys should be focusing on the bigger picture right now." said Courtney.

Stan said,"Walter Davis. I know that you think that you're incredible strong but don't forget that not even Swarm could stop him. Swarm may be a group of idiots but their power is nothing to scoff at. I know this.". "How? I mean you're a school principal." said Ray. "You guys won't believe this but our old principal is actually really strong even more than Rocky here. He defeated several Phantoms ,at the start of the invasion, without one of Zane's mom inventions." said Selena.

Roxy said,"Seriously?". "It's a long story that we don't have time for or to tell. So what are you all doing here?" said Stan. "We came here to ask for your help against Daemon." said Ray. "You can't be serious right?" said Courtney. Camille and David returned as Jasmine said,"We wouldn't have come here if we weren't.". "You do know that 4/5 of our group don't have powers right? Heck, I'm sure that we would be creamed." said Andre. "But we have daddy and mommy!" said Camille.

Sophie said,"Whose Mommy?". "It's complicated." said Walter. "We want to help you but what can we do?" said Rachel. "Well, I think this will explain our plan." said Ray. He pulled out a P.D.A as Courtney said,"You brought that with you?". "We wanted to make sure that you would join us and this was the best way that we can do on short notice." said Heidi. Stan looked at it as he said,"We're in but we have to have a plan.". "Deal." said Ray as he shook hands with the principal.

As the situation in Cypress Park, things may be heated up but it was happening in a different prison on the other side of the country. Carlos Ortiz aka Cinder was sitting there with him being slightly annoyed. He was escorted here from his prison when his hometown was taken over by Daemon as he only carried about his sister and Rachel. He hadn't been dating her for long but he really care about her and then he remembered Zane.

He shook his head as he said,"That kid is something else. I can't believe he's dead.". He had heard about Zane being killed and he was hoping that Kristen and Rachel were okay. He had been sitting in a pure white room with a single table and two chairs. Despite wearing a fire-proof straight jacket, he couldn't do a dam thing. The door soon opened as he looked up to see Luke standing there. "So who the hell are you?" said Carlos.

Luke said,"My name is Luke Bishop and you know my step-nephew Carlos or is it Cinder.". "Sorry but I tend to forget about people who I didn't give a dam about." said Carlos. "You should know that I wouldn't have done this if the situations were better." said Luke. "You're going to let me go so I can burn this place to the ground." said Carlos. "Not happening pyro. Do you know about the group Swarm? I think you know a little about them." said Luke.

Carlos said,"Bits and pieces. They're the idiots that gave Daemon some extra firepower twice. Those guys are real idiots and disgraces aren't they?". "They really are." said Luke. "Wow. The Government is dissing itself. This is a major shock. So why are you here?" said Carlos. Carlos saw Luke pull out out his phone as he said,"Look at these photos.". "Okay." said Carlos. The pyro looked at the phone as his eyes widened with him saying,"Are they okay?!".

Luke said,"Kristen Ortiz has been captured by Daemon and Rachel Powell. I'm not sure but we have detected Bedrock using his powers.". "I guess Rocky is a good guy after all. So are you guys planning on going to Cypress Park? Want revenge don't you?" said Carlos. "Yes but we need your help." said Luke. "So you'll let me do whatever I want right?" said Carlos. "Yes. You'll be joining a team which has Warrior in it. Your goals are to save Danny Malone and stop Daemon." said Luke.

Carlos said,"The Warrior. Huh. That's pretty tempting but you know that they have several Phantoms and robots that will kill us right? It isn't the best plan in the world". "I'm a member of the group and we plan to bring several powerful metahumans like yourself." said Luke. "Okay but if I'm going to save Kristen and Rachel no matter what." said Carlos. "We should know that we have a short amount of time before Swarm convinces the house of their real plan." said Luke.

Carlos sat up as he said,"Okay. Lets go but what's their real plan?". "A nuclear device. They're going to nuke the place." said Luke. "You can't be serious. We better get going." said Carlos. Luke opened the door as Carlos said,"Oh. Whose your nephew by the way?". "Your sister likes him and we have information that he's still alive and coming back." said Luke. "He better because he cares about my sister and I'm sure he doesn't want her to cry." said Carlos. The two were gone from the prison.

The Execution begins. What will happened? Will Daemon kill Danny? Will Zane arrive with his group to save the day? Will Carlos help Luke or will he betray them? This and more next time on Zero!

Zero Episode 68 Worst Future Ever PT 19 Worst Anniversary Ever Pt 4 Zane's Side of the Story

A/N: Yep. Zane is going to find out about what's going on. He's going to be heavily featured in this episode. He has been mentioned in the past three episode ,with him only talking in Episode 65 and 67 with the latter one being maybe a line, before hand but we'll see more of the Alliance who have been teased since Episode 2 and also the Omniverse. I'm sure that this episode will be the only one of its kind being that we'll maybe have one to two episodes after this one.

Zane P.O.V.
I was currently on the roof of the Alliance Headquarters also known as Ezlario. I soon found out ,along with the rest of my group, that it was a dimension and a massive city. I needed to get some fresh air ,being that I've been stuck in the main palace for almost a week now, so I'm sneaking out after placing a clone behind. Gwen says that I'm really good at cloning myself so thank you several hours of practice. I soon looked from the roof of the tower as I said,"Wow. What a great view.".

I saw several buildings ,some being small and big, being that there was also some houses that were on the ground level. I could see some people walking down there. It wasn't just humans but Phantoms and several other creatures from fiction. I think I see an elf and a dwarf flirting which isn't that weird to me compared to seeing a walking and talking bear. This place looked so cool and after all of this, I was going to look for a place to maybe live here.

I looked to see that the dimension was surrounded by a massive steel wall being that it could block a powerful attack according to my grandpa. It seems like we're surround and trapped in here but anyone that's a member of the Alliance or a citizen can leave whenever they want. The wall has a handful of cannons sticking out of it and according to grandpa, it really hurts. I turned around at the main base of the Alliance. It looks like a temple and castle combined. It's really roomy. 

Crisis Judgement went off as I turned invisible. I heard,"Zane. You're up here so could you come out before I have to beat you up for leaving your room again?". I sighed as I turned to see my grandpa. I have a weird history with my grandparents. I had no idea about my grandmother from my mom's side of the family until recently, I had a few memories of my grandfather from my mother's side and my grandmother's from my father's side, and my grandfather from my father's side is another story.

I grew up with him when I was young but when my father left, he was gone. He visits once in a while but he was busy with work according to mom. He slammed me into the roof as I said,"Should you be doing that grandpa? I mean Lucas really doesn't like you breaking H.Q and Lauren doesn't like you hurting me.". I picked my head up as I wiped the blood up. I looked at my grandfather and I gave him my signature glare.

Darin chuckled as he said,"Live a little Zane! I remember when you were little! You were so much fun despite being a crybaby! You were so much fun Zane! What happened to you?". I looked at him with me saying,"I had to grow up when I lost my father and your son. Right now, my friends and our family could possibly be in danger thanks to my alternative dimension counterpart so I'm in a really bad mood plus you guys keep me in this place like freaking Rapunzel!".

Narrator P.O.V.
Darin was thinking of a retort as he said,"Well, I guess you're right there.". "So why can't I go explore the city grandpa?" said Zane. "We're worried about you Zane. Lucas thinks that you're going to run off and go fight Daemon but you wouldn't do that right boy?" said Darin. He looked at Zane who was whistling. "Maybe." said Zane. Okay. I'll try and convince Lucas to let you out. You need to get some fresh air but no going gung-ho. Promise me that Zane?" said Darin.

Zane smiled as he said,"Sure thing Grandpa. Oh, I think you should get going or running away like now.". "Why?" said Darin. "Darin!!!" yelled a female voice. He was gone as Zane heard,"So explain to me why one of the strongest men ,in the dam group, is so scared of a queen from a island of women?". "Women are scary and powerful when they're angry Sivarth. You do remember how scary women can be when they're angry right you overgrown gecko?" said Zane.

Sivarth ,from inside of Elysian, said,"You do have a point there brat. So what are we going to do during our journey?". "Maybe get something to eat, see the city, and perhaps find a place to live. I bet this place has great views." said Zane. "Whatever. Lets get going already. I'm getting bored and I live inside of you." said Sivarth. "So is Elysian like my soul or something?" said Zane as he got ready to go.

Sivarth said,"Leif's stories are pretty boring so let me give you an example. It's like you would talk with Athena and Cole through that watch of yours. I think you looking crazy would ruin your rep as the angry student council president.". "Angry? I would say that I'm the punk student council president." said Zane. "That's dam semantics and you know it. Lets get going before your grandma catches you." said Sivarth. "Right." said Zane as he disappeared by moving really fast. 

Inside of the castle, Lucius was reading a book and nearby him, Kurt was doing some training. "So can you tell me something bro?" said Kurt. Lucius paused his book as he said,"What?". "So how do we get here so fast again? I mean getting here from Blacktomb Detention Center should have take us weeks or months. I mean the Prime Force doesn't visit this place that often because it takes a month to get here." said Kurt. "I think grandfather has a way to get us here faster." said Lucius.

Kurt said,"Speaking of grandpa, do you think our grandma is killing him?". "Perhaps. I mean Darin isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. He reminds me of Zane except smarter." said Lucius. "Zane's smart but he plays the fool to trick his enemies. I mean that was dad's thing and you know that he and Zane share so much in common." said Kurt. "True." said Lucius. "So what are you reading? I mean you've always been a reader compared to me but you seem heavily invested in this book." said Kurt.

Lucius said,"All of this mess with Daemon started when Zane, his friends, and I met a Phantom by the name of Phantom Hourglass. I'm reading this book being that it's all about every known Phantom including Johnny Vincent.". "You mean the less awesome Zane?" said Kurt. "Yes." said Lucius. "So did you find anything? I mean you two wouldn't have come saved me if you guys didn't meet her so yeah, I guess it's fate." said Kurt. Lucius sighed as he said,"Fate is a cruel woman isn't she?".

The two brothers heard,"Mind if I interrupt?". The two saw Marco standing there with Lauren. "So did you two find Darin or what?" said Kurt. "She did and well, he's currently recovering." said Marco as he stepped back from the queen. "Well, I'm sorry that most of the men in my extended family are idiots. He was suggesting that we let Zane go back to Prime Cypress Park." said Lauren. "Wait, you aren't thinking of keeping here forever right grandma?" said Lucius.

Lauren looked away as Marco said,"Before you get mad, she's worried about her daughter and her husband. She just doesn't want to see Zane hurt like that. He was covered in acid and Liv says that he survived thanks to his will but it's mostly like due to his blood in my opinion.". "So can we go back with him? I mean I'm worried about my family too." said Kurt. "That's a idea that Darin threw out to me but we...." said Lauren.

An alarm went off as Valerie ran into the room. "You guys! We have intruders and we may need your help to deal with them!" said Valerie. "Don't you have soldiers on the ready?" said Marco. "Daryl was training with them and well, they're currently recovering." said Valerie. "That definitely sounds like the Berserker Angel to me." said Kurt. "We'll go." said Lucius. The four soon followed the woman as Lauren thought,"I hope you're safe right now Zane.".

Meanwhile, Zane was currently eating some cotton candy as he thought,"This cotton candy is pretty good. It beats the pier's cotton candy. I'm pretty sure that they don't use real sugar.". "Does that really matter right now or ever?" said Sivarth. "Listen, you will never understand how good food really is partner until you try it out." said Zane. "Whatever. So what are we doing now? It isn't food related right?" said Sivarth. "I wanted to head toward the Heights of Knowledge. It's a library." said Zane.

Sivarth said,"Looking for magic spells? I mean Gwen is a way better Sorcerer than you except if you're in Sorcerer Form. You're better than that Henry guy at the very least.". "That isn't what I'm looking for Sivarth. It's Supernatural Legends and Mysteries." said Zane. "You mean that book series written by the Astral Priestess? You were looking for them but you never have free time to it. It beats sitting around or eating so lets go." said Sivarth.

Crisis Judgment went off as he heard,"Get out of my way kid!". Zane soon made a steel gray Nether construct of a Pillow as something landed into it. "You should really watch where you're going. You could have cause a serious injury if I didn't stop you." said Zane. The pillow slowly dissipated with a girl standing there and she looked angry. She has fair skin with her looking around Kurt or Lucius's age but he could be wrong. She has long and natural orange hair and magenta/pink eyes.

Her hair had a few strands sticking out in front of her face and the rest was in a ponytail that went up to her shoulders. She has full lips with cherry red lipstick, cherry red nail polish, and a beauty mark located on the left side of her mouth. Her figure is quite curvaceous ,very much like Taylor, and she looked amazing. She wears a thin gold necklace that rested on her chest. She wears a high collared light purple blouse with the left sleeve missing. She's wearing mesh fishnet armor around her arms. 

She wears gray jeans with dark blue streaks. She has white bandages around both of her legs and a pair of rose pink thigh-length boots. "Hey Zane. She's pretty cute. Try not to mess things up." said Sivarth. "So why did you stop me boy? I have work to do you know." said the girl. "Trying to cause a crash?" said Zane. "No. I have to deliver a package for my boss. He can be so lazy and tends to push work onto me. It's so annoying." said the girl.

Zane said,"That sounds like someone I know. Just try not to cause any crashes. I think pissing off the Alliance ,in their hometown, would be a bad thing.". "True. So where are you going? Trying to get hit by cute girls?" said the girl. "They usually hit on me for different reasons. I'm actually looking for the Heights of Knowledge." said Zane. "Ah. You're actually pretty close. You just need to take a left on Main Street and....." said the girl. "Thanks. I'll figure it out from here." said Zane.

Zane was about to head off but he turned around to face her. "What?" said the girl. "You may have an attitude but you're really nice so thanks." said Zane. He was gone as the girl said,"Wow. He's so fast. I can't believe he can move faster than the old man. He's the fastest person I've ever seen but this kid is faster than him. I should probably go check on him. He was in placed in the hospital. Lets not try to crash into anyone.". She was gone at a speed slower than Zane but still pretty fast.

Later, Zane found the Heights of Knowledge ,that reminded him of the Sorcery Tower except without the roller coaster track, and he walked inside of the tower. "Zane. This building is filled to the brim with Animus. It's making me sick to my stomach." said Sivarth. Zane soon saw several thousands books, documents, and scrolls were flying around on their own. Zane walked toward the center. He soon found the librarian and Zane thought with a confused look,"Okay. She has no face.".

It was a reaper like creature and despite having no face, Zane could tell that this reaper like creature was female due to her body. "Hi there miss. I'm looking for a book called the Supernatural Legends and Mysteries. Do you have it here?" said Zane. The reaper pointed to a book that was glowing neon green as Zane said,"I'll take that as a yes.". He walked over to the glowing book and he pulled it out of the shelf.

He looked at the cover and he said,"Okay. This is Volume 5. Lets see what you got in here.". The teen began reading the book and he spend 20 minutes reading it. Compared to the second volume, this one was focused on a single race the Vulcorian. They were a very prominent race in the Omniverse being that they were able to hurt both Eazairvian and Qlakirk. "Wow. I don't even remember them being around. The old man doesn't talk about them." said Sivarth.

Zane said,"Maybe because his friends were killed by them.". Sivarth shrugged as Zane kept reading the book. They were a major threat by both species and they were killed off by the two species ,who hate each other according to Liv, working together. Their main power were able to absorb the souls of the living and deceased gaining their abilities in the process. They also gain knowledge by fighting and can have Animus and Nether inside of them without exploding.

Zane said,"Hey Sivarth. Do you know why I'm able to survive with both Animus and Nether inside of my body? Is it because I'm part Eazairvian?". "Who knows kid? You have this power for a reason so keep reading. I'll ask the old man once he gets back." said Sivarth. Zane went back to the book as he read that the species once lived in a realm known as Savadran that can't be accessed by anyone due to it being destroyed. He heard that Skull Plague makes his rounds there.

The Vulcorian were said to be driven by an eternal and insatiable hunger to devour souls, just cause the destruction very much like the Qlakrik, and called mindless creatures or monsters but they were very smart being a dangerous threat to the Omniverse. They can be loyal and kind being that it takes a lot to earn their trust. Zane took a deep breath as he said,"Okay. This is interesting. I need to ask Lucas about this when I....".

His phone rang as Zane saw that it was Lucius. "Hey bro. Sorry about leaving the castle. I just need to leave that place. During my journey, I actually found a book written by the Astral Priestess and it's talking about an extent species." said Zane. "That doesn't matter right now. You need to head back to the castle right now." said Lucius. "Is grandma mad at me for leaving? I'll be back there when I get something to eat." said Zane.

Lucius said,"Zane. Some intruders entered Ezlario.". "So?" said Zane. He was putting back the book as the reaper lady appeared. She looked at him as Zane said,"Sorry about being on my phone but it's family and important.". "Keep it kid." said the reaper. She was gone as Sivarth said with a confused look,"I guess we got ourselves a book. So what does Lucius want with you?". Zane noticed that his call ended. "Okay. Lets go back." said Zane. He was gone in a second.

Zane soon reappeared in the castle courtyard and he saw Ivan dancing. "Zane my friend! How did you do that?! You instantly transported here." said Ivan as he walked over to Zane. "Um. I just ran here. I guess I moved too fast. So where are my brothers?" said Zane. "Talking with the intruders. It seems like they're friends of yours." said Ivan. Zane looked confused as Ivan said,"Follow me and you shall get your answer!". Ivan started to spin away as Zane walked after him.     

The two saw Frank standing there with Henry and Trunk in front of a door. "The prince has returned to us after his trip. How was it kid?" said Frank. "It was fine Frank. I got myself a book and also ate so much food." said Zane as he rubbed his stomach. "Can you not be such a glutton for once?" said Henry. "He's Zane so no Henry." said Trunk. "So where are the intruders Frank?" said Zane. "Inside this room. Be prepare. They are an interesting lot." said Frank.

Trunk said with a smile,"And we met people from Freedom World Zane.". "And what's that supposed to mean?" said Ivan. "Nothing Ivan." said Frank. "He meant that your kind are freaks." said Henry as Ivan soon attacked him. Zane sighed as Frank said,"I'll make sure that he doesn't kill the Sorcerer. It seems that Lucas Hammond wants you to talk with them and then met the bigwigs in Lucas's office after your chat.". "Okay." said Zane.

He opened the door and he said,"No freaking way! What the hell are you guys doing here?!". In the room, Zane saw Konosuke, Seth, and Spiro sitting there with Seth injured. "Hey. It's very good to see you again." said Spiro. "So have you been training with my sword properly?" said Konosuke. "Hey you guys. Zane doesn't know about what happened to Cypress Park." said Seth. "What happened to you guys?" said Zane. "It's a long story." said Spiro.

Spiro was sitting in his rebuilt castle as he said,"Konosuke.". The samurai Phantom stood nearby as he said,"Yes sir? Is there a problem with the rebuilding of the castle?". "No. I'm enjoying the castle rebuilding. Do you know what happened to Celeste? My daughter has been wondering why she hasn't been showing up for music lessons." said Spiro. "I'm not sure. She along with the rest of the group plus some Phantoms have been missing." said Konosuke.

Spiro was about to say something but the front doors were blown up. The two saw Seth ,with him covered in bruises, as he said,"Sorry about the doors your highness but we have a big problem.". He was holding a letter in his hands. "Seth? How did you get injured?" said Konosuke. "His name is Daemon. He's a very powerful Phantom that took over Cypress Park in a couple of days." said Seth. "Is Zane and the rest of his friends okay?" said Spiro.

The musician looked away as Konosuke said,"Seth. What happened?". "I heard a rumor from some Phantoms that have a connection to the Human World that Zane was killed by Daemon." said Seth. "WHAT?!!!!!" yelled Spiro. Konosuke noticed that Spiro's Nether was leaking out of his body as he said,"Your highness! You need to calm down. We can't have you destroying the castle once again!". "Again?" said Seth.

Konosuke said,"It's a long story. So how did you get so injured Seth?". "Daemon is a messed up son of a bitch. He already took some of our kind to be part of his army but now, he has his robots that looks just like our pal Zane has been attacked any Phantom that doesn't serve their leader. My band and some others was taken and well, I didn't get away easily.". "Do you have any idea about when they'll get here?" said Spiro.

The three heard,"Well your highness and his friends. You all have about a few minutes ,up to five or is it six, before they arrive looking for more.". Savant stood there as he said,"Hello.". "So why is this human here and how do you know the king you?" said Seth. "He isn't a normal human. He's a friend of Hourglass Universe right your highness?" said Konosuke. "Yes. He's quite weird. His predictions are always accuracy. Tell me. Is Zane alive?" said Spiro.

Spiro soon said,"All of us know that Zane isn't normal. He has the power of Tyrannus Nether inside of him being that he can recover from any wound plus he's an Alvarez. I may not have left my kingdom before but I've heard about the Alvarez family and their stubbornness. It's infamous and I highly doubt that this Daemon character will be able to defeat Zane.". "You're correct your highness. Do you wish to see him?" said Savant.

The three heard the castle being attacked around them as Konosuke said,"Well, I rather see Zane than being used as a puppet.". "True." said Seth. The three went through the portal as they landed in front of Ezlario as Spiro said,"Where are we?". "Freeze Phantoms!" said a voice. The three were surrounded by the Alliance ,with them wearing the same uniform as the guards from Episode 34, and Konosuke said,"We come in peace?".

Narrator P.O.V.
Zane grabbed his right arm as he said,"Seth. Do you know what happened to Cypress Park?". "I'm sorry Zane but I know the bare minimum about Daemon. Your friends are strong so you should worry so much about them too much." said Seth. "I know but still. I need to go see Lucas. You guys just rest and I'm sorry. Thanks for the letter." said Zane holding it tight. He was gone as Spiro said,"I wonder what Zane means by that.".

Zane entered Lucas's office as he saw his brothers, Daryl, Lauren. Liv, Lucas, Marco, and Sharia with Zane sitting down on the couch. "So is grandpa still in the hospital?" said Zane. "He is. You need to know that Seth's injuries aren't your fault Zane." said Lucas. "You can't be serious?! My friends and family could be dead or seriously hurt! Why the hell aren't we doing anything?!" said Zane. "We can't go in there half cocked. You do remember what happened last time you do that right?" said Sharia.

Zane glared at her as Daryl said,"Bad timing there Sharia but she isn't wrong Zane.". "Okay. We need to make a plan which involves kicking my ass." said Zane. "You could rephrase Zane that." said Liv as she crossed her arms. "I'm not wrong am I?!" said Zane. "No but..." said Liv. "Zane. Do you have a plan or what?" said Marco. "I do. Here me out you guys." said Zane. Zane explain his plan as he said with a smile,"Well what do you guys think?". 

Kurt said with a smile,"I'm liking this plan. So when did you make this?". "You guys kept me in a room for two plus days. I was getting really bored and hungry." said Zane. "I'll agree to your plan but under one condition." said Lucas. "What is it?" said Lucius. Lucas placed a video tape on his desk as he said,"Watch this first. Our scouts found this out a few days ago but it took a while for us to get this information. They have a technopath.".

Lucius said,"Zane and I have met the technopath. He's the reason why Zane hasn't been able to talk with either Athena and Cole.". "I see." said Lucas. "So where is the VHS player?" said Zane. "It's in the main lobby. So do you know how to use it Zane?" said Marco. "I highly doubt that Natasha would let her son become one of those millennials that are fused to their phones." said Liv. "Okay. Can you come with me Kurt and Lucius?" said Zane.

Daryl said,"Why? I'm sure that you can watch a video ,of any kind, without your brothers in the same room as you.". "Daryl. I'm not in a good mood. If they don't come with me, I'll rush out of here and mostly likely get myself killed. I need them to hold me down." said Zane. "He's right." said Lucius as he stood up. "Yeah. I need to see this myself." said Kurt. The brothers were gone as Lauren said,"I'm going to go check on Darin.".

Lucas said,"Lauren. I highly doubt that Zane will ask Darin for his help. This is his fight.". "Yes but he will need his help." said Lauren. "Zane's a strong fighter and I'm sure that Darin wouldn't go with him. His daughter in law may be in danger but I'm sure that he knows that Zane can handle anyone in his way." said Marco. "You're right but you want to know the real reason why he isn't going." said Lauren as she looked at the group.

Daryl said,"I'm going to guess paperwork.". "You're correct. I feel bad for his assistant. She was so happy to be working with him at first." said Lucas. "I really hope that Zane doesn't turn into him but who knows what could happen?" said Sharia. "I'm sure that Natasha wouldn't let Zane turn into his grandfather. We should get ready if Zane picks us." said Liv. "You're right." said Marco. The five left the room as Lucas went to grab something from his desk.

Zane was sitting in the main lobby ,in a comfy chair, as Kurt and Lucius stood nearby him. "So was tying down really needed Zane?" said Kurt. Zane was currently covered in several metal chains as Lucius said,"Kurt. You do know that Zane's anger is infamous right? We need to keep held down or he'll go do something stupid.". "Wait. Didn't you go with him to save me from Xiadur?" said Kurt. "I did but if I didn't, Zane mostly likely would have died." said Lucius.

Zane said,"Way to have faith in me big brother.". "Tell me I'm wrong Zane." said Lucius. Zane was about to counter him as Kurt said,"Guys. We need to see what Lucas got from our home.". "You're right. You should probably do it for me." said Zane. "Okay." said Kurt. He placed the tape into the VHS player as Lucius said,"Should I get you some popcorn?". "No. I need to be serious." said Zane as the TV showed an image.

Daemon stood there with him sitting in his throne. "Hello Alliance. I was expecting you to show up but from the main branch, I'm impressed. My name is Daemon but you must know that I'm nothing more than a counterpart of Legion Zero or Zane Vincent Alvarez. You may be asking why I let your scouts live. I'm not an truly evil man but I issue a challenge to you in the main branch and the ones here on Earth." said Daemon.

He snapped his fingers as Danny appeared in purple fire Nether chains. "Danny!" yelled Zane. "I know that you all must be very angry with me. He's special to a lot of you. I'll be killing him on the anniversary of my counterpart's home's 100 year anniversary. I hope you come and stop me. Bring out your best guns because I'm not holding back. Good bye for now. See you real soon" said Daemon as he smiled. The video stopped as Lucius said,"I guess he destroyed the scouts and camera.".

Kurt said,"Zane. How do you know Danny?". "He's my best friend no he's like my brother just like you two are. Tell Lucas that I'm going to give him my group for stopping Malik tomorrow. That's his real name Kurt by the way. Can you undo my chains?" said Zane. "Are you going after him Zane? If you go after him, I'll stop you from leaving. I'm angry about losing my adopted mother, sister, and my nephew but I won't be losing my crybaby brother too." said Lucius.

Zane shook his head as he said,"No Lucius. I can't defeat him like this and by myself, I would make the people I care about cry for real. I learned that my emotions can be used against me. It may be my strongest power ,according to Liv and some others I've met, but it can also be my biggest weakness. I once thought that if I could save everyone, I wouldn't mind dying. I'm not going to die but live for my family and killing myself isn't part of that plan.".

Kurt smiled as he said,"Okay.". He burned off the chains as Kurt said,"I trust Zane brother. You trust him too but we can't keep him here.". Zane stood up as he said,"I'm going to sleep. You guys should as well.". "Gotcha." said Lucius. Zane walked out of the room as Kurt said,"Zane's growing as both a hero and man. Dad would be so happy.". "You're right but don't speak like he's dead. Shawn Lancelot Alvarez isn't dead." said Lucius. Zane went to his room as he closed his eyes.       

He soon found himself in a white room as he thought,"This is like Elysian except with no color. This place really needs it.". He started walking as he sensed something. "So why am I here and where are we? Oh you better answer me right now." said Zane. "Well, I can't tell you anything if you don't come into view Zane." said a voice. Zane soon saw Daemon sitting in one of two chairs and a single table in between them. "Talk now Daemon." said Zane.

Daemon shrugged as he said,"To be honest with you, I have no idea. The last memory I have is when I went to bed after I had a couple of days living in your shoes.". "What do you mean Daemon? I mean I know that you've taken over my hometown with your minions! Don't play dumb with me or play the guilt card on me dam it!" said Zane. He soon slammed both hands on the table with Daemon ,showing no emotion at Zane's threat, saying,"I see. Do you know of the species called the Trastry?".

After calming himself down, Zane said,"I killed one of them when he tried to take over my friend. It controlled him like a puppet because of someone putting it into his body. Let me guess. You're saying that this entire time, you were being controlled by one of them this entire time.". "Close but no cigar Zane. I'll explain soon enough but let me speak. You've changed since the last time we met. I'll say that you're stronger than I was at your age." said Daemon.

Zane glared at him as he said,"Screw you man. So where the hell are we?". "I don't know to be honest with you. So do you want to know what my body is doing with the town?" said Daemon as he saw Zane sitting down. "Talk now." said Zane. "My body has taken over our hometown with my army. The Phantoms are running free and do whatever but the humans are running scared." said Daemon. "That sounds like real fun Daemon. Why the hell did it take you so long?" said Zane.

Daemon looked at his younger self as Zane said,"When you send me to your Terrarune, I could tell that your enemies wanted to kill me. You showed no mercy to them but from what I could tell from that video, you haven't been ruling Cypress Park for no longer than a couple of days.". "It seems that you're smarter than I thought. I wonder what made you change from the child that I used to be. Tell me what changed." said Daemon. "It's real simple Malik." said a voice.

The two turned to see a woman floating in the air with her being a mystery yet similar to Zane. She looked to be in her twenties with her looking quite beautiful. Her expression screamed tough with it being just enough to make a normal man intimidated by just a simple glance. She looked to be the same height as Zane but shortly than say Daemon who was at the bare minimum six feet tall. She has a slender yet voluptuous figure with a well-build physique. 

She has shoulder-length azure blue hair with it looking be wavy and straight at the same time. The ends of her hair were half molten gold and steel gray. She has short bangs that were hanging over her forehead and her mask. Her mask is black and crimson red with it in the shape of a dragon being that over her eyes, she has emerald green eyepieces. For clothing, she's wearing something that would make a weaker man blush upon first glance. 

The woman is wearing a black under dress that went past her thighs with a azure blue sleeveless dress atop of her black dress. She's wearing a white bolero with molten golden and steel gray accent. She also has on chainmail/tights. She has on black, low heel-shoes. Both of her arms were covered in black ,with dark indigo flame like outlines, chains. "So do you know her?" said Daemon. "Not at all. She does seem familiar to me." said Zane. "My name is Ryoka and I'm the first Zero." said Ryoka.

Zane's eyes widened as he said,"You're the first Zero?!". "Huh. I didn't expect the first Zero to be a woman but I'm not against it given how strong you are. So where are we?" said Daemon. "The two of you are currently in Zane's mindscape since well, you two need to talk. I'm well aware that the two of you are curious about the differences between the other." said Ryoka. "You have a point there." said Daemon. "So what changed you into the monster known as Daemon Malik?' said Ryoka.

Daemon looked at her as he said,"You know my real name? Whatever. I remember that there was a bomb that was going to power up the entire world but someone tampered with it.". "And you know how did it right?" said Zane. "Yeah. It's Kevin Wallace and your Kevin is actually helping your friends. I'm guessing because he doesn't want to die." said Daemon. "That sounds like Kevin. So when did you figure out the truth about your past?" said Zane. 

The older Zane sighed as he said,"My father ,which isn't the same as yours, turned out to be the exact same Phantom who gave me my powers. I killed him because what he did to me and my mother. To be honest with you, I took out my anger on everyone around me. I killed several thousands of humans and phantoms. I no longer had bonds to hold me back but I wanted to take revenge on my enemies.". "I'm going to guess Brad and Sam first." said Zane with a smirk. 

Daemon nodded as he said,"Yes. I made Brad look like an idiot in front of Sam. They were dating at the time but I crushed that relationship. Your Sam and my Sam were two completely different people.". "So was she a bigger bitch?". "Nope. She was a big hussy." said Daemon. "I guess so. So Ryoka, are me and Daemon talking to each other though our souls or what?" said Zane. "Correct. At the moment, Daemon here has no control of his body thanks to the Trastry controlling his body." said Ryoka.

She crossed her arms as she said,"To make things simple for now so you can get back to know how Malik came to be, the connection between you and your alternative dimension counterparts is stronger than most beings.". "She's right. You must know that the way that me and you grew up are completely different. We both grew with loving mothers and no good fathers. Lincoln Rune was a bastard when compared to Shawn Alvarez." said Malik.

He looked up as he said,"To be honest, I didn't want to invade Cypress Park because I was going to enjoy the life that I wish I could back to but can't Zane. I plan to turn myself in after you come and stop me but things changed due to Ash.". "Ash? You mean that technopath Phantom? He didn't seem like a loyal servant to me. He was going to try and take your empire. I may have been mad for you killing Vicky and people that I or we cared about." said Zane.

Both Malik and Ryoka looked at Zane as he said,"But my dad taught me a lot when I was a kid. Devin told me about you and to be honest, I could see myself easily turn into you if I didn't have my family and friends by my side. I guess you're not so bad but I'm sure that my allies won't see you the way I am.". "You have a point. Zane, I need you to stop me." said Daemon standing up. "I will but I won't kill you. You have to pay for your crimes." said Zane. 

Daemon shook his head as he said,"You can be so naïve sometimes Zane but so am I. See you real soon me. Ash has made a large army of robots from Swarm and Phantoms from Terrarune. The Resistance is the only threat against him and well, it will be a slaughter for one side. Good bye Zane for now.". Zane soon looked at Ryoka with him saying,"So how do I get out of here? And will we meet again?". "We will meet again once you're stronger. See you later." said Ryoka.

Zane woke up back in his bed as he looked at his phone. It was late at night as Zane said,"I'm sure that Lucas will still be up.". He left his room as he walked down to Lucas's office. He saw light and he opened the door. He saw the man working as Lucas said,"Zane. Why are you still up?". "I couldn't sleep. So are you busy?" said Zane. "Your grandfather has no drive for paperwork so I have to do it or else. I can't have his assistant do it all." said Lucas. "So no?" said Zane.

Lucas nodded as Zane sat down on the couch. "So do you want to know my team?" said Zane. "I do but I can tell that you have several things on your mind. We can chat if you wish." said Lucas. "Oh. I guess you're not one of the strongest members for nothing. Lets start from the very beginning. Did you know my father?" said Zane. "Yes. I remember seeing you when you were a baby. You were very adorable. I respected your father." said Lucas. "So do you?" said Zane.

Lucas said,"Think he's alive? Yes. I know he is alive being that Shawn Alvarez is like the rest of your family. Anyone with the name Alvarez is stubborn being that you're never do paperwork or listen to reason. Trust me, we're planning on searching the Infinite Void soon. What's next?". "Do you know how Phantoms are created? I never had a chance to ask how they were created. I was busy with so many other things." said Zane.

Lucas looked at Zane as he said,"I do know Zane but why do you ask? Is this about Daemon being the evil version of yourself? Lucius told me and the others very much after you were sent to solitary confinement.". "That's Lucius alright. You're right Lucas but I'm curious myself. It's something that I wanted to know for a long time now and I think before this battle, I should get all of the information before I make my choice." said Zane as he looked at the letter that Seth gave him earlier.

Lucas said,"Phantoms are created when a person dies in the Omniverse. They either go to the Astral Realm known also as Heaven or the Dread Dimension known as Hell. Some of the deceased become Phantoms due to either a strong will but they have no memory of their former lives. Why do you ask Zane?". "I could be wrong but I needed to know the truth. Here is my team." said Zane. Lucas and Zane talked as he said,"That's fine. Gets some sleep. You're need it.".

Zane soon left the room as he walked past the hospital to see that the lights were still on. He looked inside to see Spiro. The king noticed him as he said,"Zane. What are you still doing up? Don't you have a battle to prepare for?". "I do your highness but right now, I can't sleep. I'm mad at for what Daemon did to his dimension but I feel bad for him. He just wanted to go back to the way things were but that mechanical bastard Ash changed him." said Zane.

Spiro said,"You had a chat with him in your mindscape didn't you?". "You know about that? So do you know what it is? I mean Ryoka didn't give me any details about it." said Zane. "Ryoka and the rest of the Zeroes prior to you have a lot of things hidden about them. I heard rumors that Zeroes and powerful beings can see and talk with a alternative dimensional counterparts of themselves. This is my best guess on how you and Daemon talked to each other." said Spiro.

Zane said,"I guess so. So your highness, could I ask you for a favor? You don't have to say yes but I need to hear your advice on something.". "What is it Zane?" said Spiro. "I was thinking about doing a training session. During this almost two week journey, I learned a lot about how weak I really am and to protect the things that I hold dear, I need to get stronger. So could you be my teacher in how to use my Phantoms powers?" said Zane.

Spiro looked right at him as Zane said,"I know you're busy with rebuilding your castle but I need some help.". "I'll have to ask your mother and grandfather after all of this. I'm not against it because I could see that you could be a good ruler like me and him. Your grandmother is also a good ruler from what I heard. Get some rest Zane. You'll need it." said Spiro. "Thanks!" said Zane as he ran off. "I'm just happy that you're alive." said Spiro.    

The next day, Zane stood in his room and he was wearing a new outfit. He's wearing a black short-sleeved haori ,that went to his thighs, that's closed in the front by a violet ,gear shaped, chain. It's like his black leather motocross jacket ,that he wore in EP 4, being that it had a pattern to it. The design is crimson red lightning ,with an turquoise snake outline to the lightning, that was on the edges of the jacket and the sleeves. His watch was completely exposed and it was resting on his left arm.

His right arm was exposed being that it was covered by bandages. Under his jacket, he was wearing an orange muscle shirt with black pants and the boots that he wear as Legion Zero. The door went up as Lucas stood there. "I see that you got some new clothes from Liv's group. You look mature." said Lucas. "Thanks but what are you doing here? I thought you and gramps would be convincing my cult and Liv's group not to come with us." said Zane while stretching.

Lucas said,"We stopped them by putting both groups through a training program. Darin is having a little bit too much fun with them". "That makes sense and I feel bad for them but you didn't answer my question." said Zane. "You're right Zane. Take this." said Lucas as he threw something toward Zane. Zane caught something as he looked down to see that he was holding a silver chain bracelet with a small, white human skull pendant. "So what's this?" said Zane.

Lucas said,"It's the Enigma Talisman. You'll understand how it works by reading the manual. It's on the ship that'll take you and your team back to Cypress Park. You're probably going to read it along with Danny's letter.". Zane put the bracelet on his left arm and it was nearby his watch. "Thanks for doing this Lucas. I owe you and the Alliance a lot." said Zane. "Zane. Kick his but and make Daemon pay for all of the pain that he caused." said Lucas.

Zane said,"Yeah. I'm going to this fight not as Legion Zero, the hundredth Zero but Zane Vincent Alvarez. I'm also going to make sure that Malik Vincent Alvarez also known as Daemon pays for his crimes. He'll be staying in the remodeled Blacktomb Detention Center. I'll also try to get his group as well.". "Okay then. Lets go Zane. The others are waiting for you. They're very much ready to depart here." said Lucas. The two left the room.

At the harbor, Zane saw the rest of his team standing there on the ship , that would take Zane and his team there, which looked just like a Battleship. It was Daryl Desmond, Frank, Henry Bradley, Kurt Alvarez, Lauren Bishop, Lucius Alvarez, Olivia Potter, Marco Payne, Sharia Greenwood, and Victor Woodland. Zane jumped on the ship as Frank said while crossing his arms,"You're finally here. Said your final goodbyes?".

Liv said,"Don't say that Franky. Zane is going back home and he's going to be a fight that will define his life forever.". "So where is that one member of your group Liv? She was asked to join us right? I do recall that Zane asked one of them to come with us." said Marco. "She's resting Marco but she'll be ready for the fight just like you ask Zane." said Liv. "Thank you Liv. She's almost recovered from Xiadur's acid bath right?" said Zane.

Liv nodded as Henry said,"Okay then. So why the hell am I here Zane? You could have brought that ballerina or dog with you.". "You'll understand what I mean soon enough." said Zane. "I just want a good fight." said Daryl. "Are we ready to go? I'm tired of waiting." said Marco. "Yes. We'll be sailing along the Universe Path and we'll be there in two days." said Lauren. "That sounds good to me." said Zane.

The ship sailed away as Zane went to his cabin. He found the instructions to the Enigma Talisman as he said,"Thanks Lucas.". Zane pulled out Danny's letter and he opened it. He finished it as he wiped away his tears. "Danny. You're a good friend and I'll save you I promise. I'll also save everyone and I won't die to make it true." said Zane. He left the cabin to meet with his team for a very tiny change in his plan that will change the Omniverse forever.

Zero Episode 67 Worst Future Ever PT 18 Worst Anniversary Ever Pt 3 Capture

A/N: Welcome to the third part. This Worst Anniversary Arc aka the third part of the longest arc in the history of the story so far. I may do a longer arc but this arc will end after Daemon and Zane's battle. This arc will have a little bit of aftermath and it will change Zane for the better as a person. It will also hopefully be down in December. I'm determined to make sure that will happen. I don't think the crossover will start this year. It may be at the start of the year but it will come. I promise.

Lets begin with a P.O.V. .not belong to the narrator nor Zane, and I promise that there will be a lot more talking. This part is written in a letter written by Zane's best friend Danny Malone to Zane. I thought I should make it incredible obvious but I should explain myself if it doesn't make sense. The italics is for Robotic Characters and letters, Bold is Phantom and Forms, and I haven't decided what I can use Underline for just a moment. It's also early Morning of Day 4.

Danny P.O.V.
The date nor the year doesn't matter to me anymore. All I know is three things. It's about to be Day 4 of Daemon's rule of Cypress Park, it has been eleven days since your "death", and four days left until our town's anniversary plus a planned death. A lot has happened since then Zane, no I'm completely wrong about that statement. It started around when you became Zero ,later calling yourself Legion Zero soon after visiting one of your futures, and when I met you Gwen.   

I was never jealous of you Zane because even though you had the power to bend space and time, you were still filled with pain. I never knew my father but you knew yours. Heck, I didn't really even know my mother until recently. She's a great woman and I'm sure that our mothers could be friends. I'm not sure on the same level as you and I but still friends. I decided to get power to protect you Zane. You are my best friend and I'll protect you as you will with me I right?

I remember one day at the mall. This was before we met Daemon and before things went to hell. You and I were with our normal group of friends being that we had gotten the attention of the A-list. They are currently held in a prison camp according to a rumor. I learned not to trust rumors but after all of this, I'm believing it. Back to the story though, Brad was trying to mess with you Zane being that it was normal.

This starts up a certain tradition here at Cypress High. He finds you, he picks on you, you usually respond with something annoying to everyone else but you called it witty for some reason that I'll never get, he gets mad and tries to hurt you, but you hurt him either by using your powers or the world itself. I found the latter option more funny because Gwen always gave you that look. She didn't like you using your powers like that.   

Soon, Solomon and Tototl arrived at the mall and you ran off to stop them but not before you placed down a clone. You asked Gwen ,my girlfriend, to help you mastered the Duplication Spell alongside your swordsmanship ,being that you're still learning on the latter. You told me that you wanted to be in two different places without alarming suspicion. The first people to be attacked were Austin and Bryan being that they were slammed to the ground by Tototl. 

Sam screamed upon this happening and the rest of the A List soon ran off. Solomon kept most of us inside of the mall thanks to his diamonds which grew upon contact with anything making a web of diamonds. I'm pretty sure that your Diamond Form's diamonds are much stronger than Solomon's diamonds for sure. Rachel, Ray, and Tara made sure that Karen was safe along with Kristen. You really care about them on the same level being that I'm sure you love the both of them. 

As you turned into Legion Zero, me and Gwen turned into our superhero identities as you turned into a new form that I've never seen before until that very moment. You were told to use more forms by Parker and you've been pretty good about that recently. You turned into a muscular yet tall, 12 feet humanoid fish to be precise. Your hair is long ,flowing like waves from the ocean, blue hair and sharp brown eyes. Your skin is salmon pink. Your chest had the words "Power" tattooed on them. 

You seem to be wearing a navy blue short-sleeved unbuttoned shirt with it having several orange and red suns on it, brown Bermuda shorts with a black belt/sash around the waist, and simple brown boots or sandals. You finished off your outfit by wearing a camouflage patterned bandanna around your forehead. To show off your fish self, you have gills on the sides of your neck. Its name is Pirate Form. You slammed a huge wave of water ,from the fountain, at Tototl and the crystals holding us in.

As Gwen and I fought against Solomon, you told me ,after it, that you were focused on healing Austin and Bryan. I never got why you protected everyone the same being that you said,"Even if I hate their guts, I'll protect everyone no matter what the cost.". I'm sure that you would save Daemon but he's too far gone now. Back to the story, Austin and Bryan were healed as they soon ran out of the mall being that you helped us take care of Rocco's minions with them escaping due to Blanche.

In only three/four months, you done a lot to help everyone around you. You made friends with both the Phantoms and Sorcerers plus some of your enemies. When I saw Daemon killing you, I couldn't believe it. You did come back to our dimension but I'm guessing that Daemon ,disguised as you, came to conquer our dimension just like he did with his. He was pretty good at being you. I couldn't even figure it out until the very end of it.    

After Lilith's secret was revealed, we figured out that Marilyn Gregory and two agents from Swarm had taken her body to use as an experiment. The screams of the socialite rocked that area of town every single night. Most people moved because they couldn't handle it. Ed and Tara tried to assure all of us in the Resistance that everything will be fine. I was starting to doubt it. Kevin is helping more than I thought being that lately, he locked himself in his room upon seeing Lilith being used like that.

I'm not sure what he's working on but I just hope that he's focused on the main goal rather than just personal success. He only comes out to eat, use the bathroom, and talk with Sophie. The two gotten close as Roxy ships them together. I knew Roxy did that to get her sanity in check since she does miss you a lot in fact. I'm sure that you're still alive and I hope that this message gets to you. I know you Zane Alvarez being that you're too stubborn to give up.  

I soon finished off the letter as I smiled. I soon sneaked out of my room and I soon went downstairs to deliver the letter to my best friend. Everyone else was asleep being that the house was guarded by security bots that Zane's mother was working on before all of this. I soon left the protected building being that I head toward the alleyways to avoid being spotted. Sophie ,a new friend to me and maybe Zane later on, told us that this is the best way to avoid Daemon's number two Ash.

Kevin was keeping secrets from us in the Resistance but right now, I didn't care. My goal right now isn't trying to escape Cypress Park or searching for supplies but find a portals. According to Jim, he told me that portals to Terrarune were opening up at random points in time lately being that I was heading to one. As I made my way through the dark alleyways, I made sure that my footsteps were quiet being that I didn't want to be caught.

I soon saw a faint ,almost hypnotizing, glow down in an alley across the street. I wanted to see what that was but right now, I had a goal and I was determined to complete it before things got even worse than they already have. Thanks to the machines inside of my body, I now have enhanced hearing being that I could hear loud metallic footsteps heading toward my current location. "Dam it. I didn't expect Ash to already gotten them operational." I said as I looked for a hiding spot in my location.
 
I soon a cracked window being that it led into someone's home. I didn't like breaking into people's house but right now, I didn't care being the footsteps got louder. I opened the window and I jumped into the house just as something scanned the alleyway. I looked around the house to see that no one had been in here for a while. I soon looked to see the second batch of robotic enforcers that Daemon got from Swarm. You think they would have learned their lesson from the last time but nope.

It was an invention known as the Busting Smash. They're about the same height as the Ogre Crushers being that they have the same body structure as the Ogre Crushers. Their legs are more like a mixture of an eagle and ostrich. Their heads are more square like being that they have a single glowing red eye. The left arm is a rather large blade being the right arm is a sniper rifle which can hit a target from very far away.

I soon poked out my head to see that the robot hadn't left. The robot was soon gone being that Ash didn't find anything. I let out the sigh of relief being that I slowly went over to the kitchen.. I gathered some food as I ate. I was starving despite having a good amount of food in our base but right now, I just need a break. I soon heard noises ,after my meal, as I soon went to sleep being that I need to be at full strength for any fights that come ahead.

Narrator P.O.V.
Nearby Danny, three Phantoms had cornered one of the more recent Phantoms known as Septchris. It seems that he was being chased by the trio ,Crunch, Jester, and Riveter, and he didn't know why he was being chased. "Why are you coming after me? I didn't do anything to your boss. Do you honestly think you can defeat me?" said Chris. "Wow. I thought it was common knowledge on who are our boss really is by now." said Crunch.

Chris backed away as Jester slowly walked toward him. "Explain!" said Chris. "You do know about Zane being that he defeated you after you almost had it all. This happened in his dimension too being that the divergence soon started just before his fight with the Emperor." said Jester. "What are you talking about?!" said Chris. "You wanted power ever since you were a human but you're always stopped just before you reached it by Atem and later Zane." said Jester.

Chris said,"So?! That doesn't matter at all!". "Your attempt for power does matter to Zane. You attacked someone that he considered to be his family despite not sharing a pint of blood. I think I'll show you real power that I gained from Daemon." said Jester. Chris was shocked to see that the once Level 5 to 6 Phantom had grown by 4 levels making Level 9. Most Phantoms did believe in the Level System but any Phantom could defeat any other Phantom if they believe hard enough.  

Riveter knocked Chris out cold as he said,"I'll bring him to the same spot as the others. You two get done with the next one.". "So who is next? I hope it's someone worth our time." said Jester stretching. "It's the other vampire mistress. She tried to seduce Daemon in his timeline before she got large according to Halphas." said Crunch. "We should get going. We're running out of moon light." said Halphas as the two flew off.

The two ,later joined by Riveter, found the female being that she was currently draining a group of humans. She was flying away from the main enforcers of Daemon being that she had been running away from them after Crunch devour the humans that she had pretty much drained dry. They were flying above her being that several people watched this from inside of their houses but even though she was pretty, they didn't want to mess with their boss.

Danny was watching ,from nearby the house he stayed for the night, and he was tempted to fight against those three to save Marie. He remember that she liked Johnny Vincent. He soon turned into Morph being that he blocked the clown's Nether Two Blades being that Marie said,"You're friends with the brat? What are you?". "Following in my bro's footsteps. Take this letter to the portal about five miles north of here." said Danny holding the letter.

Crunch and Riveter landed nearby as Riveter said,"Isn't he the leader of the resistance that has one of our leaders annoyed?". "Perhaps. Jester can handle him. We should leave him alone for now because he likes to fight. I think we can grab the others so the boss can have something good in his life." said Riveter. The two flew off as Marie said holding the letter,"What is in the letter?". "If you open it, I'll leave you to die by the clown." said Danny looking at her.

The vampire stopped as she said,"Fine. It better be important. Don't die. The brat cares about you just like the rest of them do.". She flew off as Jester said,"So why did you leave the weaker version of Sovereign escape? She's been eating your kind since this war had began. I think you're just like the rest of your kind. Dumb and stupid. You wanted to protect her despite what she did to your friend's previous self.".

Jester stretched as he said,"You should know that Johnny Vincent was indeed powerful. It has almost been two decades since his death by wounds that couldn't be healed. He was just like your brother being that he always helped his enemies. So are you ready to...?". He was soon punched by the Phantom Smashers into the ground being that Danny said,"I really don't care right now clown. It's time to start the end of Daemon!".     

Meanwhile, Marie soon found the portal as she entered it. She soon found herself in Terrarune and she said,"I'm home!". She flew around as she heard,"Marie? What are you doing here? I thought you would be in your kingdom.". She turned to see Seth with Alana. "Oh nothing you two. I'm looking for Zane. You heard about the rumors?" said Marie. "Bits and pieces." said Alana. "So is that letter for Zane?" said Seth.

Marie nodded as she said,"Yes. I plan to get an army together. Our brothers and sisters are been held hostage by Daemon.". Seth grabbed the leader as he said,"Alana. You get the band and help Marie out.". "And what are you going to do?" said Alana. "I'm going to get Spiro and his group to help us out. He likes Zane a lot doesn't he? They're pals despite fighting against each other. Good luck ladies." said Sth as the three separated.

Inside of Marilyn's house, she was currently working on her most recent project. She stood in front of a large glass window ,that was currently made out of a material that prevent escape by Phantoms, and she was looking right at her project. Inside of the room, Lilith ,being that she was half Lilith and half Sovereign, was hooked up to a large computer system. The female was soon strung up very much like a puppet being that she was held in place by wires.

They wrapped around her arms, chest and torso, legs, and neck. She was kept alive being that if she died, they would lose the invention's battle suit. It was nearby Lilith being that her Nether was soon powering it up. The suit looked very similar to Zane's Battle suit aka Command Zion. However, it looked streamlined and menacing look. The head looked like a angered lion being that its body did have some bulk to it but the arms and legs were large.

It's increase size in its arms and legs are due mainly to weapons equipped to it. The right arm has a retracted double sided broadsword. The left arm has a Gatling gun ,with the barrels being the size of massive cannons, and doesn't seem to have any visible ammo belt or feeder attached to it. Both legs has five missile launched racks ,that were filled to the brim with Nether, on each one. The shoulders were square but they each had sixteen micro missiles inside of them. The color scheme is gray.

This suit was made to be the final weapon to kill Daemon, the Emperor Juggernaut. "It looks like the suit was be ready in no time flat." said Marilyn. She was talking to Agent F as he said,"Good. So how much longer do we have to wait?". "H.Q knows about my latest invention right? They don't have our power source." said Marilyn. "Are you sure that one won't take them over like the last two? We can't have a third fuck up." said Agent F.

Marilyn said,"Soon and I promise that this one won't. If the boys in the Research Development get the information right, we'll kill Daemon by the end of week.". "So did you know her? I mean she was one of your brother's friends." said Agent F. "Agent F. I didn't know Lilith because I disowned my brother along with the rest of my family. He liked Phantoms and other creatures that aren't considered normal so he is nothing to me." said Marilyn.

As Marilyn continued to work on the machine, Lilith looked at her friend's sister with a blank look on her face. She knew very little about Marilyn Gregory being that Edward didn't like her because she wanted everything that wasn't human to die. She would try to fight back but she couldn't move being that all of her powers were being drained into this suit. She was losing herself but the last thought she had before being used by Marilyn and Swarm,"Zane. Hurry back.". 

Back in the resistance base, Kevin was currently working hard on his project. He knew that he could use his new powers to defeat Daemon and his army. He looked at the Buffer Suit ,that he got from his house, and he said,"I'll save the town because Legion Zero isn't coming back. I do know that Sophie is slowly become a hero. I'm pretty sure that I'll prove myself to everyone and maybe I'll become the next hero of this town.". He soon went to grab something to eat.

Back in the arena, Daemon sat in his private box being that several members of his group entered to watch the latest match. He crossed his arms over his chest as he said,"So did you bring her? And one of you is missing?". He turned to see Crunch and Riveter as Crunch said,"We couldn't get a chance because the leader got in our way.". "We did get some others but not her." said Riveter. "I see. So tell me something, why didn't you stay to help your leader?" said Daemon.

The two Phantoms flinched as Daemon looked at them. He may be a rather calm leader ,compared to their previous leader aka Dyno, but Daemon had a temper. The two learned this when Daemon killed several chess soldiers and pestcrushers. "You didn't want me to kill you so you brought some form of entertainment. I guess I'll let you two live for now. Go get Halphas. I think I need to see my old friend once again." said Daemon. "Yes!" said the two as they flew off with Daemon looking at the arena.

Today's fight was special being that it was going to be a free for all battle between the Executioner who once worked with Hyde, Marie, Septchris, and Specter Samurai. This changed but the rules were still the same. They could help each other but in the end, there will be one who truly win being the last standing Phantom will gained something amazing according to Jester who grew in strength. The mummy Phantom stretched his arms out to grab them but the two dodged it.

Executioner flew toward the mummy with him aiming for his neck but he was soon blasted by Red Nether. The samurai rushed toward the executioner being that Chris said,"No! You two will be the ones tortured not me!". The crowd's roar of joy grew as they watched the fight. Executioner and Specter blocked each other's attack being that Chris was about to attack Specter in the back using a very sharp spear that he hid inside of himself. However, the mummy was stabbed instead.

The three turned to see Daemon standing there with him saying,"This match is just sad. I've already selected my choice.". Purple flames blasted all of them and the crowd cheered. "None of you should gain the power. I'm sorry that this battle ended this way but I'm getting bored and all of you should get back to work or else." said Daemon as the flames gathered around him. The Phantoms were all gone as Daemon flew back toward his lair.

Daemon thought,"I should get Bane, Celeste, and Isis. I can easily get them but they aren't the ones I'm going to kill. I'll get him soon or later.". He flew into the building and went toward his office. He saw several pestcrushers scared and two Chess Soldiers ,being Knights, as he said with a smile,"Is she in a mood right now?". The two soldiers slowly nodded as Daemon sighed. "Women. They'll be an eternal mystery that's for sure." said Daemon.

He opened the door to see Daisy was currently holding Ash with several vines as Scarlet Demon just watched. "So am I interrupting something? It's pretty hot." said Daemon. Daisy hugged Daemon as she said,"Honey! I wouldn't betray you for this savage of a Phantom.". "Harsh." said Scarlet as he release his Blue Nether which turned the vines into ice. Ash broke out of it with him hitting the ground hard being that the sound ,metal hitting the ground, shocked the pestcrushers.

Daemon said,"So why did Daisy want to kill you Ash? And are the pestcrushers dogs?". "You know that I'm incredibly thankful for you giving me any of the losers in the arena to use for my research projects but I need something else." said Ash. "And what do you need now Ashy? You already have those idiots's robots." said Daemon. "Well Daemon, I was thinking of using the females ,human or Phantom, in a attempt of revamping their physiology." said Ash.

Daemon's left eye rose being that Daisy wrapped herself around him as he said,"Revamping? What type of revamping?". "You know the normal stuff. Increased senses, strength, speed, and maybe their body." said Ash as he could feel that Daisy was going to get annoyed. "I think I'm figuring out why Daisy wanted you dead and maybe send you to there. So what are the good things about this old project of yours Ashy?" said Daemon.

Daisy and Scarlet were shocked to see that he was agreeing with their fellow Phantom being that Ash stuttered out,"Well uh... the benefits to this... little project will... and.... hard to understand.". "Don't say that Ashy. It's really simple. You want to make our army stronger just in case both of our enemies have secret weapons. Every project has good or bad to it. It can help males right? You will be able to do it but I get to pick the first subject." said Daemon.

Ash said,"Excuse me? I honestly thought you were going to say no.". "Daisy. I was thinking about picking you but I made my mind up. Use Vicky Kevin. If you wanted to be like you were back when you were alive, I don't care. I want you to get rid of that pesky free will of hers and by doing this, I hope you show me the benefits of this inventions. I think turning our soldiers into machines of war will help." said Daemon as Ash flew off. "I guess he's happy." said Daemon.

Daisy looked at her beloved as Daemon soon sat in his chair. "So did Halphas take care of our good friend?" said Daemon. "Not yet sir. He's still fighting against him. Daniel defeated Jester being that the clown is still cocky and now craves battle. The power upgrade helped him but he wants to battle more and more." said Scarlet. "I need to be alone." said Daemon. "But." said Daisy. Scarlet dragged the woman out of the room as Daemon soon fell asleep.  

Back with Danny, he was currently blocking Halphas's fast and powerful attacks. He defeated Jester being that he may be powerful but that power of him can be used against him. He was thanking Mel for teaching him that being that he could defeat someone like Zane. This only happened once in a while but he liked defeating Zane to make sure that Zane's ego doesn't get any bigger but that ego was going to bigger than normal according to Parker.

Back to the fight at hand, Danny was confused by the almost 7 foot tall villain. He wasn't a Phantom like most of Daemon's army and not even a Cross-Species like Daemon. Danny could be very wrong about Daemon because he didn't know about Daemon's past. Danny knew ,from Arturo, that if your enemy could use Nether, you're a Phantom. He turned his right arm into the Spook Howitzer and he fired a giant bullet ,made out of rubble, at Halphas who went back landing in front of a car.

Halphas wiped away blood as he said,"You're stronger than I thought kid or perhaps I'm weaker. These dam limiters are pissing me". "Limiters?" said Danny. He looked at the steels bands that was slowly producing steam. "What are you doing?" said Danny. He felt the air ,around him, getting colder with Halphas aiming his right arm at Danny. "Hellfire Burst!" yelled Halphas. Danny jumped out of the way being that the attack ,a massive fire ball, burned everything around it until it exploded.

Danny heard,"No Morphy. This isn't Nether but magic. You know about that or do you know it but another name?". Halphas stretched out his right arm being that the steel band that was around it was gone. "You must know about Animus don't you boy? I mean your special lady friend and best buddy use it with the former being more often than the latter." said Halphas. "How is this possible? I thought that Phantoms hated anyone who uses Animus." said Danny.

Halphas stretched as he said,"Yeah but the boss just wanted me for my power. Me and your bro share something in common and it isn't our good looks.". He looked up and he said,"Well, I better finish you off and I'm sure that they found by those idiots.". Danny was about to grab Halphas ,with the Phantom Smashers activated, but he was soon grabbed by Halphas. "Okay kid. Time for a quadruple Element Strike." said Halphas.

Danny was soon frozen, burned causing him to be soaked, and electrocuted from Halphas's right hand alone as Danny was soon blasted by the green energy from Halphas's left hand. Danny was out cold being that he stayed as Morph. Halphas soon looked around to see that the areas around them was destroyed. "I guess you're stronger than I thought." said Halphas while putting on his right steel band and grabbed Danny.

He soon saw Carnage with some chess soldiers as the Pestcrusher said,"Did you stop her?". "Jester and his group was supposed to do that but he's somewhere in a crater nearby. Danny crushed him. I think I send some chess soldiers after her but who knows?" said Halphas. "Master Daemon tells you to bring Morph to the prison. With the leader of the resistance gone, I think we'll win this war by doing this." said Carnage. Halphas jumped away as Carnage went off somewhere.

Meanwhile, Kristen was currently looking right at Natasha. The mother was currently asleep with her grandson cuddling next to her. "I'm just happy that he's finally asleep." said a voice. The cheerleader turned to see Arturo as he said,"I'm know that both you and Karen must be shocked but my idiot of a grandson asked us not to tell you.". "Daemon made it pretty obvious." said Kristen. "The hero who saved Cypress Park for three months now?" said Arturo.

Kristen nodded as Arturo said,"I've always been impressed with Zane's ability to adapt. He at first didn't want to be a hero but he wanted to protected his home and family who will hurt for pleasure. I know this because he told me this. You two will have ask to why he became a hero.". The two soon heard the front door open up as they heard,"Hey! I'm back!". The two ran out of the room to see that Kania and Wolfram ,with him being in his beast form, growling at Halphas.

Kristen's eyes widened as she saw Danny and she said,"What did you do to him?!". "It's none of your business. I think he'll tell you once he wakes up." said Halphas. He threw the teen to the ground with him walking up. "Kristen?" said Danny. "You idiot. What were you thinking?" said Kristen. "Oh and you won't be able to escape. Boss man will know trust me." said Halphas. The man was gone as the two dogs went over to Danny.

Arturo walked over to Danny as the elder said,"You did good leading the resistance so why did you leave the protection of our house? I'm sure that you would have been able to build a plan if you just stayed there.". "I sent a letter to Terrarune. I'm sure that Zane's alive old man because Zane wouldn't let that bastard kill him I swear!" said Danny. "Get him upstairs. All of us need to talk." said Arturo as Kristen helped Danny up the stairs with the dogs following them. 

Later, Gwen was being held by Heidi and Roxy as Ray said,"Why the hell did our leader go out of the barrier?! Someone better answer me right now!". The Rebellion leaders ,which consisted almost all of them except for Ed, Jim, and Kevin, were currently having a private meeting about Danny aka their leader's disappearance from the group. Sophie was confused why she was here ,in the first place, but she had proven herself being that she was seen as the head recruit.

Gwen said while crying,"I don't know.". "Weren't you two up together until the wee hours?" said Roxy. The group looked at a large map of the town that was pinned on the table as Gwen said,"We were working on a way to sneak into Daemon's base using the few weakness in Ash's security system. Danny kept saying that Zane is still alive.". "I know that I'm new but do you guys think that Danny and Zane are alive? We all saw that Daemon kill him and Danny is..." said Sophie.

Gwen ran out of the room as Heidi said,"Not the smartest move Sophie. Zane and Gwen were very close being that he and Danny were both her first real friends.". "Yeah. I guess I shouldn't have said that. It just came to mind." said Sophie. "It's alright Sophie. We're talk with her after this. So what's the plan you guys?" said Jasmine. "I have a feeling that Marilyn is going to do something. My father says that she and Swarm is going to do something stupid again. He knows his sister." said Tara.

Ray said,"You may right but what's the plan? Are communications working?". "Yeah. Kevin is being useful for once." said Roxy. "We plan to contact members of the group Alpha for assistance along with Bane's group." said Jasmine. "Are you sure they can be trusted?" said Heidi. "They're good ones Heidi unlike Daemon. There is still one other problem." said Ray. "What?" said Jasmine and Sophie in unison.

The group soon saw Kevin ,with some food, standing there as he said,"So why aren't you girls going to go help Gwen? I'm not an expert on women at all but she needs some comfort. Both her best friend and boyfriend are missing. We'll inform you girls on the plan I promise or Ray will.". Four of the five girls there were gone as Sophie remained there. "So we don't have the man or fire power to launch a counterattack." said Kevin.

Ray said,"We do have help you know that right?". "Yeah. I counted that but Daemon is too powerful so we need to see what your girlfriend's aunt is doing with Vicky." said Kevin. "You may have a point there. I think she's planning something to take down Daemon so we can use this to our advantage. So did you know about Danny leaving?" said Ray. "No idea." said Kevin. "So what's the rest of the plan you guys?" said Sophie.

Ray said,"Training the members using Plasma Swiss Army Knives is our first priority but from you told us Sophie, Swarm's robots will be hard to get past when we have to get supplies.". "Kevin. Do you think you can hack into one of them?" said Ray. "Yeah but I'll need its CPU. I don't care if its from the Ogre or Bursting Smash. Either one will work." said Kevin. He walked out of the room as Sophie said,"At least, he's helpful.". "You're right but still." said Ray.

Back at Cypress High, things were faring terrible. They didn't have the barrier that protected them from Daemon being that the emperor usually came for people to compete in his battles. One of them was Ether being that he offered himself up to Daemon so he could protected Isis. She had gotten out of her tint being that she helped Bane run the group that he was taking care of. Bane and Isis were in the gym being that they were looking over some weapons that they got from Swarm.

This was from their second attempt with it being worse than the last one. According to Aster ,who was soon capture, he witnessed a bloodbath as Daemon's servants swarmed the group being that the humans had less numbers but they did have better weapons. They were defeated by both Halphas and Scarlet ,being Daemon's top enforcers, crushed them. It was a slaughter for both sides as that street was completely destroyed.   

Since that battle, Bane had been focused on gathering supplies and he did this in order to protect the other Phantoms that were here. He knew that he had a good chance of defending the Phantoms that came to him. He couldn't protect Erin, Jennifer, Kendra, and Smog from Daemon and Isis placed her head on his shoulder. "Are you going to be alright Bane?" said Isis. "I will be fine Isis but I just hope that Zane is alive." said Bane.

The two heard,"Of course he is!". The two turned to see Celeste who had changed drastically being she had changed to fit the apocalypse like setting. Her long aquamarine was cut being that it was more in a pixie cut being that it was still like fire. Her locks ,that framed her face, are still there. She's still wearing her makeup and her eye color was the same. Her clothing was the main change being that it was destroyed.

She not wearing her choker anymore and her black tank top looked more ragged being that it showed off her thin waist. She isn't wearing her long glove or bracelet being that her jeans were torn making them shorts and her boots lost their heels. She wears her guitar on her back. "You mean that don't you Celeste? We'll make sure that he's alive after we help Danny and the other humans he's working with. I promised Danny that but we need to make sure that we stay alive." said Bane.

The next day, the resistance ,that resided in Zane's house, managed to find out Marilyn's plan thanks to Kevin's robotic hamsters ,being that Danny helped with the design before capture, destroyed the firewalls of Ash's robots and security system. It was better than nothing being that the Resistance did gain some robots being that Ed and Jim were focused on using them for their own uses. The small group learned how to use their weapons being that they didn't hit themselves.

They could aim but that was something that can be improved. As all of this was going on, Kevin was focusing on his personal inventions. He wanted to make sure that it worked perfectly being that if it had one flaw, Ash would be able to exploit. He knew that even with his enhanced abilities, he wanted to make sure that his invention would connected with his mind. "Its time to become the hero just like Legion Zero but better!" whispered Kevin.

He held his invention and he looked over the weapon system ,that was currently made on a laptop, as he saw that it was almost operational. "I'll just need to test it." said Kevin. He looked at the clock that read 10:57 am as he said,"I'll go help the others so they don't get suspicious.". He left his room and he went downstairs. He looked outside to the backyard to see that Gwen, Ray, and Sophie were training the recruits as he just watched.

Outside of Cypress Park, the rest of the country went on with their lives except if they had friends or family there. Luke was currently a nervous wreck being that his grandson died and most of his family was currently trapped by Daemon. He tried to contact Parker but the Eazairvian wasn't answering him ever since this all started. Luke was assured by someone that Zane was still alive and everything will be fine but he couldn't figure out who the someone is.

Cindy was walking to Luke's office with three of her classmates and teacher from Arcadia U. They were worried about Zane being that they all saw Zane being killed. Darren didn't show it but he did care about Zane, Nazar and Sierra were worried about their friends and they were showing it, and Taylor was the most worried. Trevor would have counted but he didn't know Zane like the kids did so he came with them just in case.

Cindy opened the office door to see Luke talking with Warrior being that Nazar said,"Is that?". "It is so why haven't you done anything brat?" said Trevor. The old man hit the hero as he said,"It's good to see you again too old man or should I say young man?". "What does he mean by that?" said Nazar. "I think you should stop sleeping in Hero 101 Nazar. Warrior has been around since the Revolutionary War and our teacher has been around since WW2." said Darren.

Sierra sighed as she said,"So why didn't you know?". "I heard that Zane died." said Tyler aka Warrior. "He isn't dead!" said Taylor. "Taylor has been taking this pretty hard because Zane matters a lot to her and me as well." said Sierra. "We can tell that but we're planning something. I need to wait a little longer." said Luke. "Why didn't you do anything?" said the teens. "Someone told me this and I trust her." said Luke. "Her?" said Trevor and Tyler.

Back in Cypress Park, Kevin was with Sophie as the two of them were scouting the east side of town being that Daemon didn't operated on this side of town mainly because more people lived in the south and west side of town. The north didn't count because Daemon's base was in the north because both the city hall and arena was there. Sophie took point as Kevin followed her closely while giving her space being that they kept hidden from the hunting parties.

Sophie said,"So explain to me why you're doing this? I thought you would be working with Ed and Jim on the plan to get us robots.". "I told you that I needed to test my latest invention. I'm sure you heard about it by now." said Kevin. "Yeah. Ray says that it's supposed to be really good and worth its time." said Sophie. "It is." said Kevin. "Okay. Just stay out of trouble." said Sophie. "Fine. You do the same." said Kevin.

The two continued their journey toward the east side with no luck on finding any parties. About an hour had passed, Sophie was getting more annoyed at Kevin being that she was pretty much dragged out here to help him out. She liked him ,even before all of this, but she had her limits about things and she was getting annoyed. They were soon spotted by Crunch with three unnamed Phantoms. The four went toward them to have fun with them.

Sophie was looking for an escape route, but Kevin just smiled. He pressed down on his left shirt sleeve as he glowed. Sophie and the four Phantoms were shocked to see that Kevin was gone being that he was now wearing a superhero costume. He's wearing a black bodysuit over his body being that he's wearing a silver steel suit of armor being that his neck was covered by five metal plates. He's wearing crimson red ,rocket powered, boots and gauntlets.

On his forearms, he has small cannons on them. He has a compact jetpack on his back, jet boosters on the back of his legs, and a white skull themed helmet with a visor like screen in front of his face. "I was hoping that I would be able to test my suit on you Crunch." said Kevin. He was about to fire his cannon as Crunch said,"You got to be kidding me? You're just like.....". Meanwhile, Daemon was looking over the town from the window of his office.

He was currently leaning on his desk being that he just watched it. In his office, the pestcrushers were currently "playing" with a Phantom who was forced ,by Swarm, to try and kill him. He didn't stand much of a chance being that he was just a simple family man despite his family not being the same as he was alive. He turned around and he sat in his chair as he closed his eyes. The pestcrushers knew that they should leave being they dragged out their play thing.

Daemon soon found himself in a pure white room with only two chairs and a single table in between them. He soon sat in one of the chairs as he said to himself,"Are you actually show up or am I going to be all alone? I hope you come boy.". He soon heard footsteps as a voice said,"So why am I here and where are we? Oh you better answer me right now.". "Well, I can't tell you anything if you don't come into view Zane." said Daemon. Zane stood there as he said,"Talk now Daemon.".

Pirate Form. This card has a black frame with an oceanic background and a fish creature ,that looks to have both a merperson's tail and a human like figure, standing there.
