Zero Episode 91 Omega Virus and the Legionnaire


A/N: Welcome to the second part. If you're a devoted reader of mine, you'll should know that I posted Episode 90 on 3/16/18. However, I decided to fix it up a bit being that the ending part just felt out of place and could be the start of this episode. You may be asking yourself why did Kristen keep her Phantom powers? The reason why Rain kept her powers because she wasn't at Silver Citrus hospital where the other infected were.

It will be explained why in the part but I just wanted to make you knew about that. We also have Marcus hating Zane because he got rid of the idea of a Botany Club for a Legion Zero Fan Club. I did this because I personally think that Gardening and Botany are the same thing. I do know that Gardening is the act of cultivating or tending a garden and Botany is the science of plants, the biology, of a plant or plant group, and the branch of biology that deals with plant life.

Both of those definitions are from http://www.dictionary.com/. However Cypress High's Gardening Club have the members learned about Botany alongside cultivating and tending the garden so that's the reason why Zane said no and not just because Zane hates Marcus. That may have been a factor but Zane approved Brad and Sam's pitch for a Legion Zero Fan Club. He does hate the two of them but he still approved the club.

I just think that if you have two clubs that do the same thing, you get rid of the club that only does one thing rather the ones that does two. That's my two cents on the subject. Lets talk about the Gold Commander's plan being that he had a chat with Zane with the teen not seeing Gold Commander but this isn't the first time that the character has appeared. I'll give you a hint on that being that he was in a episode with Taurus in it. That's all you're getting.

Both Lilith and Reggie are back in Cypress Park for a reason that's unknown and a reason's covered in mystery respectively. The former and latter reason why they're here will be explained alongside the reason why Kristen kept her powers, the reason why Form Morpher and Xona being in Cypress Park and looking for the book, and the way to solve the Omega Virus. It will involve alternative dimension travel and that include two certain time travel characters that have been seen in the past season.   

Also, this is the last or second to last episode before the crossover being that I'll be explained more in the first part. I did promise that I will start it in March being that I was sure that I would make more posts in this month but sometimes, I'm either working on editing for Zero. Lets begin at Cypress Park Hospital known as Cypress Park General. This hospital is working alongside Heartstone Medical Hospital ,which is from episode 41, as partners.

Narrator P.O.V.   
In Cypress Park General, things were going on as normal. From the outside, it looked like a normal day. However, a section of the hospital was quarantined off due to the Omega Virus. It only had three victims so far but that may change in the near future. The six man team of Conner Pierce, Edward Gregory, Maxwell Brock, Natasha Alvarez, Reggie Robertson, and Sharon Matthews were currently looking over the trio of Kristen, Lilith, and Rain in hazmat suits.

Zane ,also in a hazmat suit, was also standing nearby and he was currently blaming himself for this mess. "Zane. This isn't your fault at all. We couldn't have predicted that Form Morpher would be here and poison Kristen and Rain." said Sivarth. "He's totally right Zane but what is he doing here? He would be trying to kill and won't try to alert you. I've heard about him before my soul is fused to yours." said Kane.

Zane said under his breath,"I know that but I should have.....". He was soon stopped by Lilith who was waking up. "Everyone. Lilith is awake!" said Natasha. "My dear Natasha. I wish we could have met under better circumstance but the curse that Ed gave me is back and kicking hard. It's just like the good old days and it was lucky that both you and Zane found me and the other girls before it was too late." said Lilith. Zane growled quietly as he walked away from her.

Ed said,"I've told you a thousand times by now Lilith that someone messed with my machine back then.". "I know that she doesn't blame you Ed." said Natasha. "She's right Ed but I did blame you in our past. I've matured." said Lilith. "How are they doing Max?" said Reggie. Max soon looked at the monitor as he said,"Not good Reggie. Their levels are going up and down like a roller coaster.". Zane grabbed both Kristen and Rain's hands as he said,"You two will be fine I promise.".

Rain said,"Thanks for being here Zane. I'm still shocked that you never told me that you had such a nice friend like Kristen. Are all of your friends this nice?". "We are except for Hannah and Sam. They don't like him so much." said Kristen. "It's nice that you two are staying positive. According to the data, your bodies have Nether plus Chemical PX and Cosmic Phenomenon inside of you. You two need to relax." said Sharon.

Conner said,"So is there any kind of solution? I'm Rain's caretaker and if she dies, the agency that she works for will kill me!". "He'll be fine. I'm more worried for the agency" said Athena. "Conner. It's a more volatile concoction than what happened to Lilith two decades ago. We have to find the weak point to the gas that's still in their system before we can come up with a cure." said Natasha. "Such a shame that fate could be so cruel and soon, your time will be...." said Lilith.

She was soon grabbed by Zane who said,"I'll kill you even if they find a cure.". Conner and Reggie forced Zane to let her go as she said,"Your temper is so bestial sometimes Zane. You should be more focused on the girls. They're both so pretty and running out of time.". Zane looked at the girls who were both shaking as Zane said,"That's it. I'll be back.". He was gone as he soon entered a nearby broom closet.

He was about to open a portal to Hourglass's realm but he heard,"That plan of yours won't work my dear student. You remember how strict HU can be when it comes to mess with the time stream, no matter the reason why.". Zane turned to see Savant standing there as Zane said,"Yeah. She made that clear to the BOTH of us during my training. you two were teaching me about how time works. This is the only way I can think of.".

Cole said,"Didn't Parker install something about finding a weakness in an object?". "Maybe Cole but it will take a few hours which we don't have." said Athena. "Actually, we'll be heading to the realm of Hourglass Universe meaning that time here on Prime Earth will be much slower. The girls will be just fine until your return I promise." said Savant. Zane turned into Legion Zero as he said,"Lets go save my friends.". The two soon disappeared.

A few seconds late. "For the seventh time in the past minute, no! I'm one of the guardians of the fabric of time itself. I can't have people ,regardless if they are my king and friend, jump around the time stream to maybe find a cure." said Hourglass. The duo ,mainly Zane, have been trying to convince Hourglass with Malik watching nearby. She crossed her hands as Savant said,"We tried our best Zane. Better luck next time?".

Zane sighed as he said,"I'm going to ignore that. I will do anything to save the people I care about Hourglass. You know this well and my mom says that this plague is just like what happened to Lilith twenty years ago. You can send me back in time to prevent Sovereign from being born or find a cure in the present. It's a win win.". "God. You may be able to defeat me in hand to hand combat now but you can be such an idiot." said Malik, rolling his eyes.

Hourglass said with a sigh,"Malik is correct. I've taught you that everything ,good or bad, has a purpose your highness. If you got rid of the first outbreak of the Phantom Plague or the Omega Virus that turned Lilith Rune into Sovereign, several things will change. You'll never have defeated Spiro Midnight with the help of your battlesuit and also your daughter Zoey would have never existed. Do you want that to happen Zane?".

Zane was silent as Savant said,"I forgot how much of a buzzkill you can be. You and I both know how emotional Zane is at this point. This is the only thing he can do.". "He could also think of more things. Didn't that booger teach you anything other than just transforming into a cavalcade of forms?" said Malik. "They're looking for that feature but even if time is moving slowly, the girls lives are in danger of something that happened in the past." said Savant.

Zane sighed as he said,"So what the hell do you guys expect me to do?! Two people I care about are in danger because of my mom's stalker wanting me to help her with an accident that I could prevent if I went back in time!". He soon broke one of the mirrors as Savant said,"As you can plainly see, the Cross-Species Zane is very much pissed and both of us know what that means.". Zane soon went down on his knees and bowed as he said,"Please Hourglass. I will do anything to save them.".

Hourglass sighed as she said,"Stand up your highness. You have a choice and even if the both of us teach you everything about time, you still need some life experience.". She opened a portal as Zane hugged her. "Thank you so much!" said Zane. Hourglass looked at Savant as he said,"He really wants to make them his wives so yeah, he's a little happy.". Zane's face was red as he said,"I better get going. Wish me luck you two.".

He was soon grabbed by Malik who said,"We should inform you that this isn't a portal to the past Zane.". Zane soon looked at Hourglass who shrugged. "I didn't say that I was going to make you a portal to the past but you can find what you're searching for in a different dimension that's on the main ring." said Hourglass. "So this dimension is like the one that I went to where women were the dominant sex there?" said Zane.

Savant said,"Yep. You're one smart cookie but you had several amazing teachers. We wish you good luck on your journey.". He soon pushed Zane into the portal with it disappearing after Zane entered it as Malik said,"So will this fix things? Me and Zane share a lot of things being that we both hate being tricked on us." said Malik. "This will work." said Hourglass. "We don't want her worrying because she'll look older so how about a quick smooch?" said Savant. He was soon slapped as Malik sighed.

In front of a sign that said,"Welcome to Stone Well, California. EST 1917 .", a grandfather clock soon appeared in front of it. Zane soon came out of it and crashed into the sign and landed on the ground as he soon puked. "I really hate Savant and portals. So where am I?" said Zane. He looked at the sign as he said,"Well, I'm home. That's good and I'm not being experimented on by a boy genius who needs to get out of the lab.".

Athena said,"According to the map from Riser, we're currently in Dimension 26. This dimension is interesting being that it's like the first dimension we went to Zane which was Dimension 62.". "That brings back some memories." said Zane. "That place had an odd fascination with arrows if I recall." said Kane. Zane walked past the sign as he saw Cypress Park. He soon activated Gravity Drive as he said,"Time to find out team. Lets find a cure.". He soon ran toward the city.

Upon finding a nice rooftop, he looked around as he said,"Yep. This place is just Cypress Park but for some reason, it feels different and I can't put my mind on why.". He soon landed in an alleyway as he said,"Just in case, I'm a wanted man in this dimension.". He soon phased through a nearby wall and it was a clothing store. He was currently invisible and he soon "borrowed" some clothes. "You do know that you're stealing right?" said Athena.

Zane looked at his new outfit being that it was a tight black and white ,with the colors being divided symmetrically, shirt that showed off his washboard ,six pack abs and broad chest. He wears a gray hoodie with the symbol of a black widow spider inside of an green and red atom symbol on the back of it with the sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, dark blue cargo pants, and his signature sneakers and accessories aka Enigma Talisman, Galaxy Phones, and watch.

Zane said with a shrug,"I'll return it before they even noticed that it's gone. How's the features hunt going you two? I don't want to lose either Kristen and Rain.". "We're working on it. So according to the data, Lilith got her powers from the final version of an experiment of Edward's. He's been working on it since his sophomore year of high school. This dimension may have a counterpart of it and Cole's looking for that. In the mean time, look around." said Athena.

Zane nodded as he left the alleyway. He soon entered the street as he noticed that there were more females than males. "I guess that this dimension has more females than males." thought Zane. "Our proud city's crime rate has gone up because of these heroes we worship as the next goddess!" said a male voice. Zane ,who had found himself a hot dog stand, looked up to see a wide screen TV with two people on it and they were outside of a retirement home.

The one on the left was an older Caucasian man with gray shoulder-length hair and sideburns. He has brown eyes. He's wearing a brown hat with a faint gold band around it. He's wearing a bright orange waistcoat with a white button up shirt tucked into blue jeans and slippers. The one on the right was an African american female with short black hair, dark green eyes, and she wears red lipstick. She wears a dark purple jacket and matching pencil skirt with a white blouse under it and gold hoop earrings. 

Kane said,"That old man reminds me of that old lady who shit-talks you and your friends. What was her name again?". "Frieda. I'm guessing that he's popular on the news just like her. His name is Fred here I think. The woman is I think that's Harriet Bennett. She works with Selena's mom and she seems nice to me. Keeps the same gender." said Zane as he instantly devour his snack. "You'll see that I'm right about these heroes soon enough." said Fred.

Crisis Judgement went off as he heard an explosion. He soon turned toward it and he was gone. He landed on a nearby rooftop as he saw that two girls were fighting on the rooftops. "Zane. I know that you're looking for a cure but.." said Sivarth as Zane sighed. He turned into Legion Zero as he said,"Yeah. I'm a hero and well, I should stop this cat-fight.". He soon flew toward the location as he saw that it was a fight between a female Carlos and another female. "Weird." said Zane.

Female Carlos has an impressive figure being very attractive and hot. She has gold skin, long flowing fire hair, glowing red eyes, silver bracelets around her wrists, a female hazmat suit that looks like a one piece rather than something that blocks heat, and the same boots as male Carlos but thinner. Her opponent looked to be much younger than the female Carlos and Zane. She looked to be a pre-teen with her being about 5 foot.

She has long golden blond hair ,going up to her shoulders, and under her mask, she has rose pink eyes. She is wearing a black and white domino mask being that the mask's eyes had a solid dark green outline around them. She's wearing a brown leather SWAT style combat vest over her tight or form-fitting burgundy red bodysuit with short sleeves. It goes down to her thighs, has a solid black outline, and the center of her suit had a gold L in the same spot as Zane's superhero logo.

She wears a gray belt around her waist, black and purple thigh high boots, and brown fingerless opera gloves. FC (Female Carlos) said,"Why do you always try and stop me Legionnaire?! I was going to make sure that I got my life back!". The unknown heroine soon dodged several fireballs as she said with her pointing at a female Carlos,"You can go always back to Kristopher Carla and stealing isn't the way to do it!".

Carla threw more fireballs toward her and she dodged them. "We shouldn't be fighting here! You'll get someone hurt!" said FZ. "I don't care about them bitch!" said Carla. Carla soon threw a massive fireball and FZ knew she couldn't dodge it. She was soon hit by the ball and launched back into an nearby water tower. She was soon out cold being that Carla was making a ball. "Burn away! You can never replace her in the hearts of this town!" said Carla.

Her ball was soon blocked by a giant cobalt blue diamond wall as Carla heard,"Now now Fire Woman. Lets settle down.". She soon turned to see Zane ,in Diamond Form, with Carla said,"I'm out here! I need to get going! Later Loser!". She soon flew off as Zane looked at the heroine who was slowly regain consciousness. "Right now, you're more important." said Zane. He turned back to normal and he picked her up. He soon flew off as he said,"Who the heck are you?".

A few minutes later, the girl was walking up. She soon saw Zane ,on the nearby building's edge, as Zane said,"Are you okay? That fireball looked hard. My Cinder isn't the best at making his flames solid.". "The fireball must have hit me hard. I'm seeing a male Legionnaire." said the girl. Zane tilted his head as he said,"I guess my counterpart's superhero name is Legionnaire and apparently female or something. Not the weirdest thing I've heard about but oh well.".

The girl soon looked over him and soon backed up. "Easy there. I'm the Prime version of Legionnaire but I call myself Legion Zero. Nice to meet you so are you okay? You're having a panic attack." said Zane. "It can't be. You're dead. Does that mean you came back from the dead and as a guy? You've always told me that people can't come back from the dead even with Animus so did you fake your death or what?" said the girl. "Slow down." said Zane.

The girl took a deep breath as she said,"Sorry. I'm still new and all of this information is overloading my brain. I still can't believe that there is a male Legionnaire. According to her, it has been a female whose taken up the mantel.". "Okay. I'm shocked. I'm guessing that most of the town's protectors are female here." said Zane. "Yeah. Most guys that I know usually do stupid things like trying to be like Legionnaire." said the girl.

Zane said,"So where is she kid? And why you were fighting the living lighter?". "My name is Lana Robbins and I'm Legionnaire. She robbed a bank and I was trying to stop her." said Lana. "Ah. How old are you anyways Lana?" said Zane. "I'm 12 years old Zero. I'm an sixth grader at Stone Well Middle school." said Lana. "Good for you. Final question. Where is she?" said Zane. "Follow me. I don't think you'll  be happy about this." said Lana. She jumped off as Zane followed from the air.

The two were soon in the center of town as they were looking over a statue of a woman wearing an outfit that looked like a female version of Zane's first and second costume. Zane said,"Here lies the heroine Tamara Caldwell aka Legionnaire. She died saving Earth. 2001-2017. So what happened Lana?". "It's a long story so I'll give you a short version. She died protecting everyone from the Empress's master plan and I was there, watching the execution." said Lana.

She took a deep breath as she said,"After Legionnaire died, we soon learned about who was under the mask. I couldn't stop crying Zero because I always try to repay people who help me and I couldn't figure how I could do repay her. Before I could do anything, this weirdo ,who calls himself master of all time, told me that I was going to replace her as this world's protector. Do you understand what it was like to replace someone so amazing?". Zane nodded as he said,"Yeah. I know what that's like.".

The two soon heard Fred's voice,"I know that this city's rise in crime has only happened because of Tamara. She may have saved us from the evil menace known as the Empress and her Battalion of Villains but she left behind the crime!". Lana groaned as she said,"Doesn't that old guy know that she saved us from being destroyed? I mean he's so...". "You shouldn't let jerks like him get to you. You're doing her proud Lana. I know it." said Zane.

Lana said,"Why did she go alone? She had heroes like Morph and Slicer by her side but she went to fight them alone.". "When was this?" said Zane. "Slightly before the 100th anniversary of the town but we didn't learn that she died until a couple of weeks after. I became the next Legionnaire so after that. I just wish that..." said Lana. "You shouldn't think like that Lana. A wise woman told me that things happen for a reason. It may be for dumb reasons but we can't change them." said Zane.

He thought about his dad as he said,"No matter how much we want to.". "So why are you here? Is it because I'm doing a bad job?" said Lana. "Not at all Lana. I'm looking for a cure to the Omega Virus and according to my allies, a cure is here." said Zane. "Omega Virus?" said Lana. "It's bad. So do you want to help me Legionnaire?" said Zane. "I would be honored to help you Zero since you and Tamara but how are we going to find it? It won't just appear out of nowhere." said Lana.

Crisis Judgement went off as Zane groaned. "Here's some advice Lana. Don't ever say stuff like that being that the Omniverse likes to mess with heroes." said Zane. Lana was confused as a giant fireball soon destroyed the statue of Tamara. Lana and Zane soon looked down to see Carla standing in the rubble with a female version of Roger aka Downpour and a new face. The female Roger had longer hair than her male counterpart.

She's also wearing a dark blue two piece being that she looked to be a teenage girl rather than a street punk. The other one was female and looked cute. She has long brown hair which covered her left eye and she has olive green eyes. She wears a dark brown shirt under a blue leather jacket, blue jean shorts with black tights under it, and dark purple boots. She's wearing gold stud earrings. "So who are those three? One of them looked like a female Roger which is just frightening." said Zane.

Lana said,"You already met Carla Ortiz aka Ember. The blond is Rose Huffman aka Flood and the brunette is Mandy Lane aka Sahara. The three of them are part of a trio called the Element Trio who didn't like Tamara just like Fred.". "I see. Do you think you can fight them? I'm sure that Tamara told you what happens when you let your anger take control." said Zane. "She did. Hope you can keep up old man?" said Lana. She jumped down there as Zane smirked. 

The trio saw them as Carla said,"Eat this reject!". She threw several fireballs toward them as Lana said,"Can you dodge them?". "Yeah. I'm a pro at dodging Brad's punch so I'll be fine." said Zane. The two soon dodged them as Rosanna said,"Sometimes girl.". She soon fired a massive stream of water ,aka her arm, at Zane who was soon captured. "Zero!" said Lana. Zane smirked as he said,"Here's some advice for you girlie. Don't think I just let you capture me.".

He soon turned into Thunder Form as he said,"Time to give you a shock you'll never truly forget girlie.". The water girl was soon shocked being that she released Zane. Lana went over to him as Carla said,"Who the heck is your new friend Loser? Decided you need help replacement?". "She isn't a replacement. She's still new but I can see great potential in her. You three are so going down for sure!" said Zane as he soon slammed his fists into the ground.

Several streams of electricity went toward them but the streams were blocked by Mandy. "We need to work together girls to take down Legionnaire and her little sidekick who can turn into strange and rejected zoo animals." said Mandy. "Sidekick? I'm at least partner material." said Zane. He soon dodged a fireball as Lana soon rushed toward Mandy. Zane soon noticed that Lana's fist soon glowed purple as Rosanna captured her in a massive water bubble.

Rosanna said,"Your cute energy attacks won't work with air!". Lana tried to break out as she was slowly running out of air. "I hope this works." said Zane. He soon deactivated Thunder Form as the trio saw Zane in Sound Form. "Surround Sound!" said Zane. Several sound discs went toward them as the trio covered her ears. The water bubble broke as Lana soon caught her breath. "You three may have the numbers but no one can stop Legionnaire and her transformation partner." said Lana.

Zane said,"At least, you didn't call me a sidekick. Don't get cocky just yet.". Carla soon destroyed the discs around them as she said,"Burn!". She fired a massive steam of fire at Lana who soon created a purple energy shield around her. The flames went around the shield as Lana said,"You can't break through my Nether Ember!". The ground around Lana started to shake as the girl fell onto the ground. "Except by you losing focus." said Mandy.

She soon threw a massive sand fist toward Lana before it was destroyed by sound. Zane soon stood in front of Lana as Lana said,"Can't I do anything right?! I'm not able to block attacks like her or beat her baddies! I'm a failure!". Zane soon slapped her as the trio of villains were shocked. "Why did he just slap his leader?" said Rosanna. "Because I need to make sure that she heard this and it may be wrong to hit a girl but right now, I need her to hear this." said Zane.

He took a deep breath as he said,"Legionnaire. As a hero or person, you make mistakes. No one in the Omniverse is perfect being that we all make mistakes. I make mistakes, Tamara made them when she was starting out, and so will you. You shouldn't let other people decide who you are as Legionnaire. Do you understand why I'm trying to say?". Lana nodded as she soon stood up. "Can you cover my back Zero? I have an idea." said Lana.

Zane nodded as he glowed bright purple and he said,"Sure thing Legionnaire. Time to show these ladies how much I really rock as Sound Prime!". He's now twelve feet tall with him looking to be more sleek than before. His body is now a platinum color and really shiny looking. His metal like body has a crystal like appearance to it. His arms and legs have five black stripes with two stripes going down the center of his chest.

His eyes and head stay the same but loses the cables that were once on his head alongside the diamond shape indent on his chest. He has more discs that he did before which are the extra same as his previous form. He has five discs on both arms and legs with him having three on his chest and back and one on his head, working like a hat. The one that he wears on his head is different compared to the ones that cover his body.

This disc is much bigger being that they have a white circle on both sides of them. He has boom box shaped appendages on his chest and shoulders. They have obsidian black circular indents. He wears red gloves and black boots. Carly soon threw several fireballs toward them and Rosanna sending her fists toward them with them soon turned into hammers. "Just like Carlos and Roger. You two girls are just like them. High-Def Surround Sound!" said Zane.

His voice sounded the same as before. The discs on his arms soon flew toward the attacks being that they soon produced a high amount of sound. The fire and water was gone as the two girls covered their ears. "So dam loud!" said the duo with them glaring at him. "That's the point Einstein." said Zane. He punched them back being that he jumped into the air and looked down to see that Mandy tried to hit him with an sand spike. "Sorry but you can't touch me." said Zane.

Mandy growled as she said,"Focus on the robot now!". "With pleasure." said Rosanna. Zane dodged her attacks by using sound burst coming from one of his discs. "Stay still!" said Carly. She threw several fireballs at him. They collided with Rosanna's water causing smoke to cover the field as Zane said,"Meh.". During the smokescreen, Lana focused her Nether into both of her arms and she said,"I can do this. Zero believes in me and so does Tamara according to that weirdo.".

The smoke cleared as she saw Carly, Rosanna, and Zane standing there. "Move right now Zero! Lets go with a Nether Cage!" said Lana. She soon fired two massive purple Nether Beams at the trio being that Zane soon evade it using sound. The beams soon created a massive cage being that Carly and Rosanna were trapped in it. Lana was panting heavily being that Zane floated over to her. He placed his hand on her shoulder as she looked at him.

Zane said,"Good job there Legionnaire. I'm guessing that you're still learning how to use Nether as your power correct?". "My powers didn't come with an instruction manual so I had to practice a lot." said Lana. "Mine didn't either but I had help. Here's my advice. Nether is very much like a part of you so don't treat Nether like something that isn't part of you." said Zane. "Okay. I'll keep that in mind." said Lana.

The two soon watched Carly and Rosanna ,both wearing power dampening cuffs, being taken away by the police. "It's weird to see some many women in the force. I mean I'm all for police women but well, it's weird to see that many girls and a couple of guys." said Kane. "Just stop before the PC police arrives." said Sivarth. "Zero. I guess I should be happy that Carly and Rosanna are going to jail but what about Mandy?" said Lana.

Zane ,who was still in Sound Prime, said,"Don't worry Legionnaire. She'l come back to get her revenge on you and I for defeating her and her friends. Most villains I've met are usually very sore villains.". "You have a point there. My predecessor had recurring foes so I guess that I will as well but mine will be better than hers!" said Lana. "Well said. So should we get working on fixing her mural?" said Zane pointing to the rubble.

Lana said,"I would Zero but it usually takes a long period of time and it will be broken again. I'm just happy that we didn't burial the remains of her here as....". She soon saw Zane soon turned into Swift Form and he said,"Just watch and learn what I can do.". He was gone being that Lana was shocked to see how fast he was. She wonder what the difference between Tamara and Zane were being that she wanted to know more than anything.

She soon watched Zane return and fix back Tamara's statue. Zane stopped moving and he said,"We should get going. You did promise me to help for the Omega Virus.". He soon turned to see Lana looking at her with a shocked look. "Are you alright Legion?" said Zane. "Who are you Zane?! You easily re-built the statue that usually takes a couple of hours." said Lana. "Well. I'm just your typical superhero Legionnaire. Lets go." said Zane. The two were soon gone in a burst of speed.

The two were soon standing out of a building as Zane ,back in his costume, said,"So this is where I'll find a cure?". "Yeah. Doctor. Brock is incredibly smart being that her and Tamara worked together to find....." said Lana. She soon began mumbling like crazy with Zane thinking,"Wow. She really likes to mumble.". "Yeah. It's kinda weird to be honest." said Kane. The two soon opened the door to the building being that Zane soon noticed that it was covered in papers.

He looked at Lana who said,"Yeah. She isn't exactly the best at keeping an area clean. Do you have a person like her in your dimension?". "Yeah but he's the complete opposite of her. He's well known for his perfectionist nature. So she's in here right?" said Zane. "Yeah. Do you think that you're going to use that speedster form to find her?" said Lana. "Normally, I would but I have a better way plus I like being diverse with my forms." said Zane as he turned into Cryptid Form on his hind legs.

Lana was confused as Zane said,"This form is my best tracker and you can ride me. I don't mind at all Lana.". Lana shrugged as Zane began sniffing around the building and began sniffing for Doctor Brock. Lana got onto his back as she said,"So do you know about that energy I have?". "Your ability to generate Energy is called Nether. It's something that Phantoms can do this" said Zane while he was looking for the woman. 

Lana nodded as Zane said,"I've been to other dimensions like this and I'm guessing that as the heroine Legionnaire, you're connected to me by using Nether. Purple Nether is powerful but very hard to control. I'm also here so do you have questions for me?". "A lot of them. So do you mind if I write them down and give you them?" said Lana. Zane nodded as he soon opened a door and the two soon saw that the room was even worse than outside.

Lana said,"Are you sure about her being in here?". Zane nodded as Lana said,"Okay. Do you mind if I check Zane? You've done enough for me.". Zane moved out of the way as Lana soon focused Nether in her body. She soon made a massive purple bulldozer and the paper were soon pushed out of there in seconds. "I think she's better than you Zane." said Sivarth. Zane rolled his eyes at that comment as he soon saw a woman sleeping on the floor.

She looked like Maxwell and Sharon's fusion. She has long dark orange hair ,that goes down to her shoulders, with brownish green eyes and freckles. She's wearing a white lab coat with an dark indigo undershirt, light blue semi-leggings pants, and gray flat shoes with white stripes to them. She has blue triangular earrings with a silver necklace with a gold beaker pendant to it. Her right arm is very much a mechanical prosthesis. Lana pushed her as the woman said,"Mom. I don't have school today.".

Sivarth said,"She'll be the one to help you save Kristen and Rain?! She reminds me of Harvey when we left him in the sewers. Cole, do you have the information on the Omega Virus?". "Oh yeah. We found that thanks to the Alliance Database plus some other neat stuff. Do you know that the watch can tell time in any dimension?" said Cole. The woman opened her eyes as she said,"Morning Lana. So did you win against Mutt?". "Mutt?" said Kane.

Lana shook her head as she said,"No. I need your help on something.". "Does it involve that fido over there?" said the woman. "Yes. His name is Legion Zero and according to him, he's a counterpart of Tamara." said Lana. "Technically, she's the counterpart of me but that's being semantic." said Zane. "So are you hearing two voices as well? I may be a little plastered but that's just me." said the woman. Lana and Zane sweatdropped at the woman.

After Lana and Zane ,currently in his human counterpart, cleaned up the building, the two watched the woman working on something. "Do you have any scars?" said Lana. "It's from me being still being rash. I could heal it but I don't. It's a reminder." said Zane. "Ah. Sorry that I asked." said Lana as she looked down. Zane tussled her hair as he said,"It's fine kid. You're young and making mistakes like that is part of life.".

Lana blushed as she said,"So, I know that you must be busy with your dimension and its crimes but if you have any spare time, could you....". "Teach you a couple of Nether tricks? Sure thing Lana but I'll call ahead of time. So is Doctor. Brock ready?" said Zane. "Call me Pauline. So according to the data you gave me, this Omega Virus gave people a horrible case of acne, skin alteration, and the abilities of a species called Phantom correct?" said Pauline, looking more awake.

Cole said,"She's way different now!". "Yeah. Don't you find this strange?" said Zane. "Not really. I did at first but I'm slowly used to things from fiction these days. I'm thinking that this Omega Virus wore off its first victim over time correct?" said Pauline. "Yeah but according to the scientists back home, it is a more volatile concoction due to the elements of Chemical PX and Cosmic Phenomenon. Do you need some calcification on those two?" said Zane.

Pauline said,"Nope. We have something like that here called Chemical Surprise PX. It's a mixture of the both of them that can give a person a super power either manipulate the elements, turning into an animal and human hybrid, or sometimes the ability to stretch your fingers. I should find a cure in ten minutes or less.". "Thank god. I owe you so much." said Zane. "My payment is that you help young Lana became a hero just like Tamara was." said Pauline.

Lana blushed as Crisis Judgement went off. The ground soon began to shake as Zane said,"So can Mandy cause earthquakes?". "Yes. You two need to stop her. To create the cure, I need the chemicals not to go flying everywhere. They could cause an explosion that could kill...." said Pauline. "I get the point. Time to go hero?" said Lana. "In my life Lana, I'm a hero twenty four/seven.  It's time to Power up!" said Zane.

Outside, Mandy was causing an earthquake by slamming two sand hammers on the ground. "I know you're out here Legionnaire and her sidekick! You will pay for stopping me and my allies!" said Mandy. She was soon blasted by both a green and purple Nether Blast. She soon looked to see the duo as Zane said,"As you can plainly see, this is an example of the typical villain trope.". "I guess you were right about her Zero. Criminals always come back for revenge." said Lana.

Mandy growled as Zane said,"Now that isn't lady like at all.". Mandy threw several sand fists at them being that Lana made a purple Nether shield over the two of them. Most of the fists were destroyed by the shield as Zane said,"You're really doing good with your Nether Legionnaire.". "She isn't that bitch at all!" said Mandy. She grew several times bigger, she turned both of her hands into spiked hammers, and she threw them toward the duo.

The shield blocked one of them but the other hammer was soon blasted off. Zane was holding a dark indigo M1014 double barreled shotgun with a sniper scope attached to it. Zane also had a simple gray nylon holster strapped to his back. "Sorry but my shotgun Termination will prevent you for hurting my student." said Zane. Lana smiled as Mandy screamed. She threw several sand fists toward them and Zane soon fired at them.

Lana noticed that the gun's bullets were  powerful. "Zero! Do you mind if we swap roles this time?" said Lana. Zane smirked as he said,"Sure. Can you use a gun?". "I have played a lot of FPS so I can apply using your shotgun to that right?" said Lana. Zane shrugged as he threw Termination toward Lana. She fired it right at Mandy with the sand woman having several holes in her body. Lana was panting as Zane said,"Yeah. Termination uses the energy of its user as bullets.".

Lana said,"You should have mentioned that before throwing it to me.". "I may be able to see a bit into the future but I still make mistakes." said Zane. Lana looked at Mandy and Zane said,"It's a good thing you did that because her body is going to take some time to regenerating which means I can do this. Cover your ears Lana. This is going to be loud.". Lana covered her ears as she saw Zane take a deep breath. "You'll pay!" said Mandy.

She turned her right hand into an hammer and it slowly went toward Zane. Lana saw Zane's mouth slowly opening up and he said,"Vibration Roar!". The sand woman's hammer was slowly gone by a giant stream of dark red sound wave ,being that it had a bass sound to it, and Mandy was sent flying away from the attack. Lana soon ran over to Zane who said with a smile,"That was my unique sound called Vibration. It really packs a punch as you can see.".

Lana handed him back Termination and she said,"Doesn't it drain you Zero?". "It did but when you have a lot of sound based forms like Sound Form, you learn how to manipulate sound. It does have a weakness being that my hearing hurts if I used it too many times in a row. Lets go check if Pauline is done with the cure." said Zane. The two soon walked back into the building being that the young heroine wanted to learn more about her teacher.

Pauline showed Zane a vial of bright purple liquid as she said,"Tada! It's the cure for this batch of the Omega Virus.". "Thank you so much Pauline. I'll make sure that this gets back home." said Zane. "So how will you get back home? Can you open portals back to your Earth?" said Lana. Zane stood there as he said,"Just wait. I have a feeling that he's opening a portal....". A grandfather clock appeared in the room as Malik walked out of it.

Malik said,"Huh. I guess Savant was right about you finding a cure and you met the new Legionnaire so I owe him money.". "You really shouldn't have bet with the guy who can see everything in every time." said Zane. "Point taken." said Malik. "Wait! You know Savant teacher?! He's the one who gave me my powers!" said Lana. "Yep Lana. He taught me how time works alongside Hourglass. Here if you're going to be my student, you need this." said Zane.

He gave her a piece of paper with numbers written on it as Pauline looked at it. "Call me if you want to do some training Lana. You're going to be a great hero I promise." said Zane. The duo of Malik and Zane were soon gone as Pauline said,"Since your teacher is gone Lana, tell me something. So is he the first boy who has give you his number?". Lana blushed as she said,"It isn't like that!". The woman was soon slammed into the wall by a Purple Nether Hand. "Oops." said Lana.

Meanwhile, Mandy was recovering from being blasted directly by Vibration Roar. "Who was that man? I've never seen him before. His powers remind me of that idiot Legionnaire." said Mandy. "It's because he's her Prime Dimension counterpart." said a voice. She turned to see a man standing there with it being Apazar. "Who are you?" said Mandy. "You want revenge on him right? Follow me to the Prime Dimension." said Apazar. The two were gone.

Back at Cypress Park General, Conner was pressed his hands against Lilith's chest as he said,"Live old friend!". He did this for a while as Sharon said,"Should we do something?". "You can but I'm not." said Maxwell. "You know what this means for us right Kristen?" said Rain as both she and Kristen were getting worse by the minute. "If you see Zane, please tell him that I ..." said Rain. "You can tell me later Rain. I'll be glad to listen." said Zane's voice.

The group saw Zane standing there holding the vial as Edward said,"Zane?! You need to put on your protection gear!". "I doubt you want to catch what they have." said Reggie. "I could be wrong about this but isn't the Omega Virus contact based rather than air based? I also have a pretty strong immune system. Oh. I think I made a cure." said Zane. Conner grabbed the vial as he said,"May we take a look at it Zane?". "Sure thing Mr. Pierce." said Zane.

The six soon discovered that Zane ,really Pauline Brock, did create the cure as Natasha put into a spray bottle. She threw one to Reggie and Zane with her saying,"Three, two, and one!". The trio soon spray the chemical concoction ,in a gas form, on the trio as the pimples cleared up alongside the face returning back to its normal pigment. "You three are cured!" said Conner. "Yes we are but you can stop spraying that gas in my face Zane?" said Lilith as he kept going and she coughed.

Zane stopped as he said,"My bad.". "You did that on purpose Zane. Nice." said Athena. "How did you know about the cure Zane?" said Sharon. "Well, I'm smart because I have a super smart mom, super smart uncles, and super smart teachers." said Zane. "Good job kid. I'll inform the parents." said Maxwell. "Well done Zane. I knew you wouldn't let your dear aunt Lilith down. It's just took some extra help. I'm still weak so friends?" said Lilith.

Zane smiled as Sivarth said,"Uh oh. I know that smile of yours Zane.". Later, Lilith was soon out of the city by Titan Form with him saying,"AND SHE IS OUT OF HERE!". Zane soon turned to see Kristen and Rain with them looking away. Zane soon turned back into Legion Zero as he said,"So do you girls mind having powers? I didn't expect both of you to keep your powers. It's weird how you kept your Phantom abilities Kristen but not you Rain.".

Kristen smiled as she said,"Well, Zane and the rest of the doctors worked really hard on trying to save us. It won't be so bad having super powers being that you'll help us in making sure we don't destroy the city.". Zane nodded as he said,"Yeah I will. I'm a pretty good teacher.". "Ego much?" said Cole as he was slapped by Athena and Kane. "I'll help the both of you whenever I can. I can make your girls costumes if you want." said Zane.

Rain said,"Um Zero. I feel like we can. May we try?". "Be my guest. It's very good practice of your power." said Zane. The two soon focused their energy around them with both of the girls were now both wearing costumes. Like Zane, Kristen had the white aura showing that she's a Cross-Species of Human and Phantom. Kristen's skin is still the same color rather than the green color being that his brown hair was currently air, due it moving back and forth, and bright blue eyes.

She's wearing a black cropped v-neck shirt with a white ,with a wind them, trim on the sleeves. She's wearing navy blue pants with a black belt and trim at the end of the jeans. She's wearing a pair of silver bracelets around both wrists ,very much like Carly and Cinder has, with white fingerless gloves on her. She wears white ,ankle high, high-heeled boots with a spiral design on the boots. She's wearing a blue ,water drop, necklace.

Rain ,on the other hand, had long light blue hair that goes to her shoulders and parts of it rests on her chest and her eyes match the color of her hair. She's wearing a white domino mask over her eyes. She wears a flattering and feminine white dress ,with a black starry night pattern to the bottom of it, and her dress goes down to her knees. She wears this over a full-body black fishnet leotard with a dark brown leather jacket with short sleeves.

She's wearing a white belt with a gold crescent moon belt buckle. Her costume's final feature is white knee high heeled boots and gloves. "Well. So do we look Zero?" said Kristen. "Don't say anything that will get you slapped Zane." said Sivarth. "Yeah. It may be funny for us but well if the two ever fine out, I don't think things will go well for you." said Cole. Zane thought about his answer and he just smiled.

Zane said,"Like real heroes or heroines. I guess you girls should get going back home. Your family must be worry about you and with a complete strange like me...". "We get your point mom. I guess we could fly now so do you mind helping us out when we need it? I rather not make everything float around me while out in public." said Rain. "Yeah Rain. Just give me a call. You two know how to reach me right?" said Zane. The two nodded as they flew off.

Zane took a deep breath as he said,"At least, this is all over. I have something to do.". "And that would be?" said Kane. "I just learned that I want to protect those I want to spend the rest of their lives with. I need to train them or make sure they're safe. I'm sure you guys remember the night before and what they said." said Zane. "Yeah. We should probably do that after we finish up that new design back at the Zero Cave." said Athena.

Cole said."I still can't believe that we're calling that Zane's HQ and you came up with that name? It is something that I or Rachel would come up with.". "May I?" said Zane. "She has a point. The house is empty right now because your family is out right now and the neighbors won't notice you sneaking in even if you use Titan Form." said Kane. "That isn't what you should do by the way." said Sivarth. "Fun hater." said Zane as he flew back home.

Zane soon landed in his backyard and Crisis Judgement went off. He soon looked around and he didn't sense anything. "Hey Sivarth. Do you sense anything?" said Zane. "No. Why? Did Crisis Judgement go off?" said Sivarth. "Yeah. I guess my paranoid nature is getting worse. I better get working on my new design for my costume." said Zane. He soon jumped into his room aka the roof and he didn't see that a shadow followed in after him.

He sat down at his desk being that he currently had his notebook that he got for a birthday present from Marco who was currently helping out Liv ,in the Infinite Void, in the search for Zane. It was a black ,leather bound, notebook with a gold dragon design on the cover. According to the former crime lord, it was going to be filled with new inventions and be highly valuable for what's inside of it. It would be hard to understand since it came from the mind of the crazy son of a bitch.

He was currently working on three new inventions to use as Legion Zero alongside his civilian guise to keep suspicion of himself as one of his town's protectors. As he was finishing up the last thing being an updated version of his costume yet again, Crisis Judgement went off again. He soon looked around and he said to himself,"Okay. Whoever is messing with me, stop.". He soon held the knife that he wore in his costume as he looked around the room.

Zane swipe in front of him, being that it easily generate a streak of lightning. "Yeah and this is why this blade is called Striker!" said Zane. The air was sliced in front of him with him seeing something strange on the floor of his room. It was a slime like object being that it looked to be a semi-solid substance. It looked to be 8 inches by inches when stationary and not moving whatsoever. It reminding Zane of Parker being that the both of them are like slime.

It's body is primarily black with a crimson red web like pattern all over its body. It has glowing dark magenta eyes and white mouth with black teeth that looked sharp but still dull. It had a smooth white outline around its eyes very much like a domino mask. Zane placed the knife back in his pocket dimension as he said,"So are you an Eazairvian like me and Parker? I totally thought that Parker was the only one who look like....".

The slime soon jumped onto his face being that he was losing air. He tried to rip it off his body with him thinking,"Get off me!". He tried to use his powers but he couldn't. He soon fell onto his bed and was out cold. Upon Zane being knocked out from losing oxygen, the slime soon covered Zane's entire body within minutes. It looked around the room and fired out several black ,with a crimson red web pattern, tendrils ,from its body and that covered the entire room in it.

Zane soon woke up being that he saw that the slime wasn't on his body, he was currently in his soft bed, and his room didn't have a single mark from Striker. Zane grabbed his phone ,from his desk, as he saw that it was morning. "Okay. That was weird. It was straight out of a sci-fi movie. So do you guys know what happened?" said Zane. "After coming back home from curing the Omega Virus, you were about to work on your new inventions and costume but you just crashed." said Kane.

Zane nodded as he said,"Okay. That makes sense to me..". He soon heard,"Daddy! Wake up! It's time for breakfast and if you don't hurry up, I'll eat all of the food!". Zane smiled as he soon got out of his bed and he didn't noticed that his lower half was covered in the slime. He soon look down to see that he was wearing his jeans. "Okay. I really got to start sleeping more." said Zane. As he went down the stairs, a black ,with a hint of crimson red tint, webbing closing the door.

In front of Zane's house, three hooded figures were looking at the house. "So are you sure about letting that slime attack him?" said the mature woman. "And how did you make him forget about the attack?" said a figure who sounded like the little girl. "The slime will be a good help to him and our group. I'm sure that Zane's partners know the truth about the slime." said the leader voice aka the less hyper male. "So can we reveal ourselves?!" said the hyper male.

The leader said,"Well, two of us have met him already in the past month.". The hyper male and little girl whistled as a male voice said,"It's a good thing that he does know of our group.". "Yeah. We'll bring Zane into the Zion Brotherhood and I'm sure that he'll join our group upon hearing our goal to kill the one who sent Shawn Alvarez into the Infinite Void." said the leader. The group was gone as things were going to get interesting.

Next time,
What was that slime that attacked Zane? Why didn't his partners tell Zane the truth? Who is the Zion Brotherhood? Will Zane join them in order to kill Skull Plague for his crimes? This and more next time on Zero!

Zero Episode 90 The Affliction


A/N: Yep. We're at the first part episode of Season 3 but it won't have that title like the Worst Future Ever. The next couple of parts will involve alternative dimension travel and trust me, it will be like episode 36 and 42. Here's how I'm doing time travel when that happens and I will repeat this later on before. Whatever Zane does in the past, it won't effect the future at all. Everyone of Zane's actions in the past mean nothing once he goes back.

I'll explain it better in this and the next power so lets being already. This Author Note is shorter than the last one for sure. I've said this before but I don't know fashion. I just repeat myself often with that statement a lot but I just wanted to make sure on that. I'm also very forgetful ,very selective, and I tend to repeat myself often. Heck, I'm doing that but I'm that type of guy. Lets begin in Terrarurune and in one of the Phantom's realm. Also I'm not an English Major.

Narrator P.O.V.
It was a very normal start for the rock star Astral Eternal aka Celeste/Grace being that she was currently recovering the previous day's hangover. She was so happy for her reincarnated crush becoming king that she may have went overboard with the drinks. She was currently walking toward the kitchen wearing her pajamas being that it was a normal white tank top with black pajama pants with a blue music note pattern on them.

She was smelling something good as she said,"Who the hell is.....". She looked into the kitchen to see Zane cooking some bacon, eggs, and pancakes. He was currently wearing a white full length apron over his clothing as he said,"Morning Celeste. I hope you're ready for something good and it will be better than having....". The rock star soon passed out with Zane tilting his head. "Why does he look like an angel right now when he's in the kitchen?!" thought Celeste.

She soon woke up on her couch with her seeing Zane sitting in her living room's chair with a warm smile on his face. "What are you doing here Zane?" said Celeste. Her head was hurting as Zane said,"Don't stress yourself. You may be stronger than a normal human but enough alcohol can make the gods go crazy and destroy a mountain. Trust me.". He shivered as Celeste thought,"I'm thinking that Zane's training was a strange yet enriching experience for him.".

She looked down to see bacon, eggs, pancakes, and a cup of orange juice. "Did you make all of this for me?" said Celeste. "Yep. Me and my fellow clones should have made breakfast for you and the rest of the girls that treated Prime Zane for a night on the town." said Zane. "You're a clone? So do you want to take over Zane's life?" said Celeste as she started eating. "That sounds like a lot of work and I rather be a clone than the original. I'm Clone 4 or Zone 4 by the way." said Zone 4.

Celeste nodded as she said,"Thanks for taking care of me and my pals Zone.". "It's no problem at all. Zane cares about everyone the same despite him thinking at times that you only like him because he has the Nether Signature of your former flame Johnny Vincent. I may be created from him but I know that you care about him as Zane rather than his past life so he's thankful." said Zone 4. "You're right. So can I ask you something?" said Celeste. "Shoot." said Zone 4.

Celeste said,"So how many girls does Zane like? I'm sure that he likes a lot of them. It's a rumor that our new king is a womanizer.". "They aren't wrong. Seven out of nine would like Zane for both sides of him being his normal self and Legion Zero. Two out of nine like Zane for either his human side and the other likes Legion Zero despite him rejecting her in the nicest way he could do. He was chasing after Remane's bug at the time and he got annoyed." said Zone 4.

Celeste looked down as she said,"Oh. That was more than I expected but I'm sure that he cares about seven of them. So is he still mad at us for yesterday?". "Not really. Zane can't hold a grudge at all being that our father told us that people can be forgiven no matter what they do. He did have trouble with Cinder but that guy is nothing but a hot mess. Kristen has tried to convince the prime Zane to go with her to see him but he doesn't know if he should." said Zone 4.

Celeste said,"Yeah. He may be a stubborn guy but he does care about others too much. I guess Jenny's nickname for him isn't wrong. She calls him Big Heart.". "I see. Well, my clones are done with the other girls and they thanked my brothers with a kiss on the cheek." said Zone 4. Celeste soon looked at him as he said,"I'm not expecting it myself but don't push yourself okay? Prime Zane would hate if anyone he cared about was hurt.".

Celeste sighed as she said,"You shouldn't changed Zane.". She kissed his cheek as she said,"This will be our secret okay Zone 4?". The clone nodded as he went to leave. "Oh. Get some sleep and don't push yourself too much. Despite having a good breakfast, you'll need some sleep and rest to make sure you recover from this hangover." said Zone 4. "I understand. Just get out of here." said Celeste as she decided to watch TV in order to relax and Zone 4 was gone.

Back on Earth, the prime Zane was currently in his office at Cypress Park and it may seem like he was unaffected by the night before but he was dealing with it in his own unique way. He used his Zenith Duplication spell to create four clones with each girl being taken care of until the clone feels like they're going to be okay. This was all done while he rested on Earth. However, the spell does have its flaws being that any information that the clones gained, he gained as well.

His face was bright red with Kane said,"I still can't believe that both Jennifer and Marie used you as a scratching post. It's a good thing that you wear clothing all over you.". "This was a good lesson for him to learn though. Learn how much your women can take of the gods nectar before they go psycho." said Cole. "So are you going to be okay Zane? You may look fine but emotionally. you're not." said Athena.

Zane said,"I'll be fine Athena. Today isn't going to be stressful. I just have to give an announcement to the student body about the dance, show the four girls around school today, hang out at Fantasia after practice, do a patrol of the city, and maybe something with the trio.". "That isn't stressful for you? And what about practice?" said Sivarth. "According to David, his dad is recovering from some sitcom bombshell and practice will be cancelled until then." said Zane.

Kane said,"And he expects the team to practice during the break?". "Yeah. I'm sure that I don't want to go through the punishment. According to Captain, it's something that he never wants to see another person go through." said Zane. "I see. Well, enjoy your time with the girls. So are you going with Kristen or Rain to the dance?" said Sivarth. "Um both." said Zane. The four of them were silent being that Cole said,"Seriously?!!".

Zane shrugged as he said,"From my research, there is no limit to how many girls can ask you out for the Sadie Hawkins Dance. I've checked other dimensions and timelines as well.". "You're going to be a great Harem King Zane." said Athena. "Thanks Athena. According to Rain, she said that she would arrive early to avoid her fans. They've been quoted as ravenous beasts according to her fan page and if they find out, I'll be fighting a lot." said Zane.  

Zane's phone soon beeped as he said,"And that's her. I better go meet her out front. I rather have her not swarmed on her first day. According to the rumors on her fan page, they were going to come here earlier in order to see her.". "You're a real gentleman Zane." said Athena. "Thanks Athena. You're so caring aren't you?" said Zane. "That's my job Zane." said Athena. Zane sighed at his partner's blunt nature as he soon left his office to meet Rain. It didn't take long to find his "girlfriend".

She stuck out and not for a normal reason that he expected. She was currently wearing a white surgical mask over her lips. She's wearing her silver hair that reached the center of her back. She didn't have a ponytail to her now. Her bangs were slightly covering her green eyes, beauty mask, and circular blushes on her cheeks. She has her sapphire blue helix ring and rook piercing in her right ear with a red variation of her right earrings in the left ear.

She's wearing her small dark pink choker necklace. She's wearing a blue spaghetti strap crochet ,with a flower lace pattern to it, with the hemline exposing a bit of her waist with a black floral lace short sleeve bolero jacket. She's wearing black denim capri jeans with a white belt and wears her brown wedges sandals. She's wearing her brown purse with her and the girl was holding a small book with several sticky notes in it. "Yep. She's reading her script." thought Zane.

Rain noticed him as she ran over to him. "Zane!" said Rain. She hugged him as Zane's face went bright red. "I missed you too Rain but we're....." said Zane. Rain soon looked around to see several members of his fan club and random students with Rain blushing hard. The two soon ran into the building as Zane said,"So what's with the face mask? Is it for the drama?". "Not exactly. I got a cold and my manager wanted me to wear this. I really want to meet you again Zane." said Rain.

Zane tilted his head as he said,"Didn't we met up last Saturday? We also have video chats.". "We do but now, we can meet in person more." said Rain. "Yeah. You have your drama and I have a lot of after school activities." said Zane. The two walked toward his office as Zane looked over at her book. In the short time that they've been together, Zane knew that Rain was that type of actress. He knew her that when she had a role, she got invested into it.

Zane looked at the book and he said,"How to interact with your peers?". Rain blushed as she said,"I really hate how you're taller than me sometimes.". "Blame my genetics. Aren't you one of the most famous actress in the country? You were able to out charm everyone in that romance movie that had the adorable puppy in it." said Zane. "You mean Puppy Love and Joseph?" said Rain. "Yeah. So I'm going to guess you don't know anyone beside me your age?" said Zane.

Rain nodded as she said,"Well, yeah. I guess you're really good at reading me. Do you think I'll make some friends?". "Yeah. You're my girlfriend after all and famous actress so you'll have some friends for sure. Just stay far away from the A-list. Sam may nice but she'll will stab you in the back when you become more popular than her." said Zane. "Don't worry so much. I spend most of my youth in Hollywood where that happens a lot." said Rain. "Just be cautious." said Zane.

The two were soon sitting in Zane's office with Rain saying,"So where are the other three? Are they running late?". "One of them should be here in about two to five minutes according to her texts, one should show up soon, and the third one. No clue." said Zane. "Zane Vincent Alvarez. Why do you have another women's phone number in your phone?" said Rain with her glaring at him. Instead of a fierce glare, it looked rather cute to him.

Zane said,"Because she's my friend?". Rain calmed down as Zane took a deep breath. "Nice answer Zane. It's a good thing Conner taught you about how the female thinks somewhat. They're a mystery after all." said Kane. "I think Taylor is going to be here soon. Her cell signal is coming into the building. You may be asking why I'm tracking her. I'm keep an close eye on her." said Cole. "Can I?" said Sivarth. Zane shrugged as the door opened upon Cole being slapped.

Taylor stood there ,panting, as she said,"Sorry that I'm late Zane! There was a crowd saying that the Rain....". She turned to see Rain sitting there with her saying,"Zane. Why is the famous actress in your office?". "Meet your new classmate. Rain, this is my friend Taylor Crawford and she's a transfer student from Arcadia U." said Zane. "One of the best schools in the country? Why did you leave that place?" said Rain.

Taylor quickly looked at Zane ,who was wearing his glasses, as she said,"Personal reasons. I hope we can be good friends.". "Yep." said Rain. The two girls looked at each other with Cole saying,"We're have a cat fight on our hands boys and Athena! My money's on Taylor!". Zane hit his watch as Rain said,"Zane. Why did you do hit your watch?". "Cole mostly likely said something stupid." thought Taylor. "There was a fly. We've had an infestation of them that we just got rid of." said Zane.

Yesterday, he spend a solid hour in Gluttony and Ninja Form, looking for any if not all of Remane's bugs. "Well, I guess I'm not late then." said Taylor. She sat down as Zane said,"Well beside for me and Rain, you're number three. We're just waiting for number four and five.". "Don't you have their numbers?" said Rain. "I would but one of them doesn't have a cellphone according to her guardian aka her mom and will show up with a bang." said Zane.

Sivarth said,"You're talking about Dawn. Nice statement for her.". "I wish I was wrong but the statement for her is really great." said Zane. The three waited with Zane pulling a deck of cards from his desk. "Why do you have that?" said the girls. "I get bored during meetings and it kills time. You girls in for a quick round to kill some time? I mean it beats sitting around." said Zane. "We sure are Zaney!" said a voice.

The room was soon covered by a pink smoke as Zane thought,"Dawn! What are you doing?! Using Animus!". Zane walked over to the window being that the gas slowly went through the window as Zane saw Dawn Ballard standing there. She looks in the middle 5 foot 7 and 8 with her outfit and body being very attracting to the male population. Her silver hair is the same length being that some of it was resting on her chest, her pointy ears are hidden, and orchid eyes.

She's wearing a purple under v-neck shirt ,with a simple black tank top over it, that shows off her midriff. She's wearing a black mid-thigh length skirt ,with the sides cut, revealing purple spandex shorts underneath. She wears a pink ribbon around her waist that works as a makeshift-belt, black stockings, and purple leather high heeled boots. "Did you seriously just release a smoke bomb in the school?!" said Taylor coughing.

Dawn said,"Nope! I used a.....". She looked at Zane with him talking without words,"Don't mention Animus in front of normal people or you're going back.". "Vapor Bombshell! It's a creation of mine from my old school." said Dawn. She gave Zane a thumbs up as Rain said,"So you must be the other transfer student. My name is Rain Brooks. Perhaps you've heard of me?". "Nope. You seem like a nice girl plus I love the hair. We totally match Rainy!" said Dawn.

She hugged the actress with Zane thinking,"Too hot!". "So did you by chance see the final member of our group?" said Taylor. "Nope! Could we start the tour already? I'm getting bored and really want to see this place! It's so big despite being one of the worst schools according to Zaney." said Dawn. "It is the worst in terms of the student body but in terms of what you can do here, it's one of the best since we have a good amount of rich and spoiled kids." said Zane.

Zane's phone buzzed as he looked down at it to see whose texting him. Class was currently in session and he was pretty sure that no super villain or common crook would try robbing Cypress Park right now. He saw that it was Stan and it said,"I'm sure that all of the girls have shown up. I need you to show those three around rather fast and then introduce the changes for our school. Sorry for pushing this on you.".

Zane sighed as Rain said,"Is everything alright Zane?". "Yeah. The principal just told me to show you ladies around." said Zane. "Alright! I call shotgun you guys! You totally have a golf cart on standby right Zaney?" said Dawn. "I do but I'm not able to drive it during passing periods which isn't right now." said Zane. "Sweet! Lets go!" said Dawn. She was gone as Taylor said,"She's really hyper.". "I think that's an understatement." said Zane. The three soon left the hallway.

As Zane drove his personal golf far down the hallway, Dawn was enjoying the ride. Zane smiled at the young Sorcerer enjoying her time as Rain said who sat behind Dawn,"So do they have bullies here Zane?". "Yeah. We've tried to enforce a security system but for some reason, the cameras were always broken." said Zane. Dawn and Taylor looked at Zane with both of them thinking,"I"m sure that you did something about them Zane.".

Rain said,"I see. So do they bother you?". "Honestly, I bother them. Most of the A-list hated my guts but I'm too clever for their insults. Thanks to yours truly, they are being punished more but not so much." said Zane. "Don't they pay for most of the school's projects?" said Taylor. "Their parents do but I handle most of the school's budget. My friend Heidi works to stop me from spending it all on Fantasia." said Zane. "You can't be serious Zaney." said Dawn.

Rain and Taylor both thought about Zane's black-hole stomach with Rain saying,"He isn't wrong at all Dawn. His stomach is literally a black hole.". "Yeah. So Zane, have there been any school clubs that you have given the no to?" said Taylor. "Let me see. I think it was the Legion Zero fan club and the Botany club. The answer to the latter is mainly because we already have the Gardening Club and I like messing with Marcus any chance I get." said Zane.

Dawn said,"What about Football and Cheerleading?". "I tried but according to Stan, they're part of the American Culture and also I'm on the team plus one of my friends is head cheerleader. It would also cause a riot and I rather not go to juvie." said Zane. Crisis Judgement soon went up as he soon stopped the cart. "Look who it is. It's Zit and his loser friends." said Sam who was thankful that Zane didn't run her over. 

Dawn said,"Zit? Is that your nickname? I thought it was Zaney.". "It is for my number one hater in the school Dawn. This is Sam Bridges, aka our school's Queen B. Sam, this is Dawn Ballard, Rain Brooks, and Taylor Crawford. I'm showing these lovely ladies around our amazing school before the assembly mainly about some changes here. They'll like totally brightening you day. You should back before you get ANOTHER detention." said Zane.

Zane soon drove off as Dawn waved to her. Sam glared at Zane's group with Taylor saying,"Wow. She really hates you. I can feel the hate rolling off her.". "I'm guessing most of the A-list hates your guts Zane." said Rain. "Yeah. They'll hate me even more after I reveal the changes to Cypress Park. This will be good for Normal Jane and Joe but not Popular Parker and Polly. We better find you guys a seat that won't attract so much attention." said Zane as he drove to the auditorium.

About thirty minutes later, the entire student body and teachers were in the auditorium. Zane stood there as he got everyone's attention. "Hey you guys. Your number one president is here to tell you about the brand new changes that will affect Cypress High for the better in my honest opinion." said Zane. There were several groans and moans from the crowd being that Zane said,"Man. You guys are a tough crowd.".

Zane said,"Anyway, the dance on the yacht is still going to happen but much to my joy, the plan to make a botany club a thing is cancelled. I'm not sorry but we already have a GARDENING club and that may not be the same thing but I don't care. They're close enough.". Zane knew that it was good for people to learn about the interesting world of mother nature ,due to him learning about it thanks to Rico, but at the same time, he liked pissing off Marcus.

It was something that he was going to remember even once everyone in the building is dead. "But Zane, you said that the only way that the school board would allows a new club is if one goes away and is there one leaving?" said Vicky. "You're right Vicky. I did say that but since our school has the rich giving us money, that problem was kinda of ignored. According to the DOE (Department of Education), I had to get rid of Football and Cheerleader. I'm not that heartless." said Zane.

Cole said,"And you also like Kristen in her uniform Zaney.". "That may be a reason but the main reason is to mess with Marcus. Both him and Jungle Legs are Zane's two favorite students to pick one and I would stop him but meh." said Athena. "Thanks 51! You rock! I take back everything I've ever said about you and that's a lot!" yelled Brad. Zane shed a tear with him saying,"Thank you Brad. I'm so touched.".

Kane said,"So explain to me why you males like cheer leading? I remember hearing one of those feminists harpies outside of the field saying that this sport should be banned because it makes respectable women into objectified dolls. I didn't like this so when I was in control of the body, I "accidentally" threw a ball toward them. It was great.". "You asshole!" yelled a voice. Zane soon saw Marcus Simmons standing there with him glaring at Zane.

His skin was now pale, his brown hair had green tips, brown eyes, and his build is even more lanky than two years ago. He's wearing a white t-shirt with the symbol for Peace on the back with a human hand shaking hands with an Bear Hand, a brown jacket that smelled like the forest and also the dump for some reason, ripped blue jeans, and brown sandals. Zane didn't like the guy being that he could handle Hannah and Sam at the same time but Marcus just got on his nerves.

He's a teen activist and a loud one at that. He's bossy about his opinions being that he's passionate and strong-willed about it despite it possibly being wrong. He has ,a couple of times, used his family's huge amount of money to force the school board to change the school to his wishes but that hasn't been happening since Zane has been in office. Zane had to stop him once as Zero being that he once protested out of a store selling cars and trucks that would ruin the environment.

This wouldn't have been such a problem but he was there for an ENTIRE week being that the shop was forced to call the police and that brought Zane into the mix. He never took responsibility for his actions and thinks he's right much to Zane's annoyance. "Yeah. I did get rid of your "super important" Botany Club not just because you annoy me and everyone in here with your opinion. The club itself is less important to most students. Heck, I'm making the Legion Zero fan club." said Zane.

Several students screamed as Zane said,"But it's for all of the town's heroes.". "You don't have that big of an ego." said Sivarth. "You can't be serious?! Why would you bring in those fans of those self righteous heroes? I'm sure that they take bribes." said Marcus. "He's right about something. We don't get paid for this." said Cole. "That's because heroes don't take bribes. Most of them don't but Zane might one day." said Athena. "Yeah. He totally would." said Kane.

Zane rolled his eyes as he said,"Marcus. You really don't want to argue anymore. This was decided by the school's board and me so you really don't have a say in the manner but you really don't want four plus weeks of detention right? Would you mind sitting down with the rest of the student body after heading to the showers? You stink more than Bryan does after practice.". Marcus stormed off as the Cross-Species finished off his speech. 

During the speech, Zane could feel that these changes had both good and bad effects. For the A-list, it seems like that most of them wanted him dead or at the very least, his mouth for now. The majority of the students were for the changes being that they could finally enjoy going to school every day. Zane made sure to get rid of the cameras and Phantom alarm system mainly because he wanted to go Zero whenever he wanted and his kind was possibly in danger.

Later that same day, Zane was currently heading to a last-minute study session at Havana Brews and driving his Save aka his Black and Silver Kawasaki Ninja 300. He was lucky that he was an expert at multi-tasking being that he was talking with his study partner ,thanks to his helmet being connected to his cellphone, and driving at the same time. "Don't worry so much man. I'm sure Hannah doesn't know about you meeting with the enemy of everything good in this world." said Zane.

The voice on the other end said,"Thanks for helping me with school 51. I've always said that you've been a good guy despite you being like Marcus.". "Yeah. I mean I do piss people off with my snark but people actually like me and I don't show my bullshit opinions down your throat." said Zane. "You got a point there. He's only in the A-list because he's rich." said the voice. "So have you seen Kristen today? I was kinda busy all day." said Zane.

The voice said,"She was out today. I think those bugs actually gave her a cold. She sounded sick but this was from Hannah's phone so take that with a grain of salt. So how did you become friends with the Havana Princess?". "We're old friends and this was before she became an actress that's known nationwide. I'm just lucky that Taylor became friends with her. Those fans were rather persistent to have a picture with her and Taylor has her limits." said Zane.

He stopped at a red light as the voice said,"Yeah man. So when are you going to be here?". "In about ten....." said Zane. Crisis Judgement went off being that he saw someone driving an armored truck and being chased by the police. "Twenty." said Zane. "Wait Zane? You said ten and twenty. Which is it man?" said the voice. "Um. It's a multiple of tens. Just study Chapter 5 and I'll quiz you once I get there." said Zane.

He hanged up as Kane said,"You could let another hero do this Zane.". "Yeah but where's the fun in that? I get to make a crook look stupid." said Zane. He flicked the Talisman and Kane soon took over his body as Zane became Legion Zero and was currently invisible. He floated above Kane ,who was in Zane's body, as the main body said,"Just hurry. You know that math isn't my best subject.". Zane nodded with him soon flying after the armored truck.

Zane soon landed on the truck with him turning visible. "Okay. Lets see who's driving this puppy." said Zane. He soon went to the driver's seat and he didn't see anything. "Okay. That's weird. So have they invented self-driving trucks or what?" thought Zane. Crisis Judgement soon went off as he heard,"Hello hero. Care to play a game with you pals, the Odium Society?". Zane looked around him as he soon spotted a video screen implanted into the dashboard.

He phased through the front of the truck and landed in the driver's seat. "I'm not in the mood for games and tell me why you wanted this truck." said Zane. "You can't just ask for the answer Zero. It ruins the fun of living if you just go to the end." said the voice. "Cut the riddles. I ain't in the mood for games." said Zane as he slammed his hand into the board. "If you get violent, I'll just have to activate the virus." said the voice.

Zane looked at the screen with the voice said,"From what my sensors are telling me, I've gotten your attention. Do you remember your fight with your first with Downpour and Steamroller?". "I do. Did you turn those hard-working stooges into the living puddle and that idiot?" said Zane. "Do you know about both Chemical PX and Cosmic Phenomenon child? I'm quite sure that you've met people who have gained powers from the both of them." said the voice.

Zane said,"Yeah. I have. So did you turn them into those monsters?". "They wanted power to get their revenge on the punk who put them in jail so many times since you've appeared on the scene in the year 2017. For now, you can call me GC. I hope you understand why I'm doing all of this my dear boy. You're still young so why play with the big boys when you should be playing in the kiddie pool child." said Gold.

Zane said,"First off, I'm a man. I totally have chest hair and everything. Second, I know who you are GC or should I saw Gold Commander. Harvey told me about you after I left him in our lovely sewer system. He isn't the brightest but he's the best at giving me information. Tell me what you're doing what your plan is before I come find you and talk your criminal empire down.". "Cute kid. You're going to take the big sleep. Good bye Zero." said Gold.

The video screen turned off as Cole said,"Zane! You need to get out of the truck right now!". Zane soon went to the door before a loud sound went through the truck. Zane covered his ears as he soon turned into Boulder Form. He soon punched the door being that the hinges broke slightly. "Zane. I need to tell you....." said Athena. "Can it wait until I break out of this..?" said Zane. "If you leave or break the truck, it will explode." said Athena. "And my day was going so well." said Zane.

Outside of Havana Brews, Kane/Zane parked his bike. He looked down at his copy of the Z.E.R.O. watch as he said,"Well, I'm no math expert but I'm sure that 10 is a multiple of ten.". He soon walked into the shop as he looked for his study partner. "Zane! You made it!" said a voice. Kane turned to see David in his nerd disguise. In the past two years, David haven't change in terms of body structure and clothing being that he wore the same outfit as Brad but with a dark green shirt.

His nerd disguise is his casual outfit except with black horn-rimmed glasses. He's wearing a dark red jacket with the sleeves rolled up, dark green dress shirt with an black undershirt, blue jeans, and black tennis shoes. Kane shrugged as he said,"You know me. I may be busy but I always makes time for my bros.". Kane sat down at the table with him looking over the textbook being that it was history. "Wait a second. I thought that you were struggling with math not history." said Kane.

David said,"Bro, you do know that Susan tutors me in Math and I help her in English and Gym? It's nice having the couch as your dad. Why did you think I asked you here? You're an expert in every subject.". "Except for telling the truth." whispered Kane. He was going to have a word with Zane about this as David said,"Did you say something?". "Nothing important man. I was just making a remark about how I'm not perfect at having a girlfriend." said Kane.

David said,"Well, that's something that you share with Mack. So do you understand this story? I've read the chapters back to front but I still don't get it. Why can't Mr. Jacobs's class be easy?". "He's a history nutjob David. They use their imagination to travel back in time since time travel isn't at all possible." said Kane. "Aren't you and Karen do stuff like that at CPU?" said David. "Nope. So what are you doing after highschool? You know my plans." said Kane.

David said,"To be honest, I rather do something productive for my country.". "Are you sure? This country is filled with idiots." said Kane. "Not all Americans are idiots Zane." said David. "The loud ones are and their obnoxious nature gives us a bad image to the rest of the world. I'm getting us off topic. What do you want to do for the USA?" said Kane. David was about to answer as the two soon heard,"Breaking news!". "Turn it up!" said a customer.

The employee soon turned up the TV as it showed Cody Glover standing there. "Our Local Hero or Legion Zero is currently behind the wheel of a self-driving truck and according to him, the truck will blow up if anyone breaks the truck or tries and stop the truck through any means. His current plan is to drive it toward the ocean so if you see an armored truck heading toward your location, get out of the way now!" said Cody. "Dam fool." thought Kane.

David said,"Never a dull moment right?". "Yeah man. Lets talk about the future or should I say the past? If we forget about the past, we're doomed to repeat it. It's something that I've learned the hard way. We have to learn from both our achievements and failures in order to evolve as a species and person. You don't learn how to play football over night." said Kane. "You should totally teach Zane. I think you got a real talent for it." said David as he went back to studying. "Me too." said Kane.

Meanwhile, Zane ,who was still in Boulder Form, was focused on driving. He was lucky that he had Athena and Cole being that the duo sent a message to Scott who in turn sent the message to the media and that would have gotten the message out faster. "So is there anyway out of here?" said Zane. "It's totally Phantom proof being that once you enter, you can't get out. You also can't break it due to the bomb." said Cole.

Zane's eyes widened as he said,"I have an idea. Athena, can you tell me what are the stimulus for the bomb going off and its range?". "You can't destroy ,even a smidgen, or stop the truck Zane. It's like what we told Scott. The range of the boom will destroy a good chunk of the city and well, it won't be pretty. What's your plan?" said Athena. "If I can't stop the bomb by destroying or stopping the truck, how about I shrink down to stop it?" said Zane.

He soon shrunk back down to 6 feet with his skin turning silver gray and it has a red circuit-board like design to his body. It's mainly focused around his chest and stomach, arms, and legs. His body looks to be made out of an carbon/silicon based alloy with two pointy spikes on his black shoulder pads. He also has two sets of arms which can be retracted. His feet are pentagon shaped while his hands look human like. He's wearing a black jumpsuit with a molten gold LZ on his chest.

He's wearing black and red arm bands. He has three red diamond-shaped eyes that forms a pyramid shape. "Nano Form! If I can't go any bigger, I'll go smaller!" said Zane. He shrunk down to a highly microscopic size ,with him glowing an eerie green glow, as he said,"Okay Athena. Where is the bomb?". "In the engine and it's hidden so good luck." said Athena. Zane nodded as he soon sprouted six red nanochip wings ,with a rectangular shape, sticking out of his back.

He soon flew toward the engine and he said,"I hope this plan works or else, today will be just the worst.". "Yeah. Cypress Park blowing up would be bad because then Malik's reality will come to be and you being a bad guy is like a major turnoff to the ladies. Through there are some ladies who like the bad boys." said Cole. "Do you mind hitting him for me Cole and make it hard?" said Zane as Athena agreed to his demand.

Kane waved bye to David as the disguised Vulcorian went back to his motorcycle. "I wonder if Zane defused that bomb without causing it to go off." thought Kane. He touched his bike being that Zane's cellphone buzzed. He looked to see that Kristen and Rain need to talk to him, with both of them at the park. "I better inform the kid about this. His day just got worse." thought Kane. Kane moved himself and the bike into an alleyway before going into Elysian himself.

Meanwhile, Zane ,who was in Nano Form's original size, looked at the remains of the armored truck which was currently floating in the ocean. "You did a good job Zane." said Cole. "Thanks. Lets be thankful that I was able to defuse the bomb without running anyone over." said Zane. He soon saw the cops heading toward him. "You should get going. Still, I wonder what Gold Commander wanted with that car." said Athena.

Zane shrugged as he sprouted his six wings and flew off. "Kane wishes to talk in Elysian about something important." said Sivarth. "Okay. Let me rest on the rooftops." said Zane. He landed on a nearby rooftops being that he turned into his normal costume self. He pressed the palms of his hands together as his fingertips pointed upward. It was firmly pressed and they were evenly. He closed his eyes as he soon entered Elysian.

The teen soon looked for the Vulcorian and he saw him eventually. He looked like the photocopy version of him from episode 87. "So how did the tutoring go? He got the information right?" said Zane. "I thought you said that David needed some help in math not your species's history!" said Kane. "I didn't say that. I just wanted to make you think that. Before you kill me, Sivarth said that you need to talk with me. What's up?" said Zane.

Kane sighed as he said,"Both Kristen and Rain need to talk with you in the park. So are you done with your runaway truck?". "Yeah. It was driven by Gold Commander. He wanted me dead or out of the picture so he had the car's bomb activate if the car is stopped or destroyed. I guess he didn't know about Nano Form's ability to shrink plus create a really strong shock. I'll meet you at the park so we can fuse back." said Zane. "Will do Zane." said Kane.

Zane's eyes reopened as he said,"I better get going. I just hope that nothing goes wrong.". "Zane. You shouldn't say stuff like that! You know that the Omniverse hates your guts right?!" said Cole. Athena rolled her eyes as she said,"Ignore him idiot. So what are you going to do?". Zane turned into Turbo Form as he said,"Try and talk them down before I have a cat fight on my hands. Turbo!". The red skinned creature flew off toward the park.

Rain was sitting at the fountain, waiting for Zane being that her body was acting up. For some strange reason, her sneezes caused things to float around her and then fall down. She knew that wasn't normal but here in Cypress Park, that was somewhat normal. She tapped her left foot as she said,"I know that he's busy but he's never late so where is he?". "Are you waiting for someone too?" said a voice. She turned to see Kristen standing there with Rain saying,"Yeah. We needed to talk. You?".

Kristen sat next to her as she said,"Yeah. I've been bothering him with my family drama according to my other friend so I wanted to say sorry for that. I had to call out because I may have blown up my kitchen with a wind tunnel that came from a simple sneeze.". Rain looked at her as Kristen said,"I know that sounds really loco but trust me, it's normal here. I think it may have something to do with that Phantom bug from yesterday.".

Rain said,"A Phantom Bug? Did it look like a mixture between several species of insects fused into one but mainly a wasp?". "Yeah. Did you get bitten and not treated by the doctors?" said Kristen. "I wasn't treated by anyone being that one of them bit me when I was on site for my show. I'm currently filming a drama here in town." said Rain. "Cool. What's the name of it?" said Rain. The two were talking like old friends.

Nearby, Kane was hiding in the alleyway with him looking for Zane. "Sorry. I'm late but you can't believe how much purse-snatchers I stopped." said a voice. The disguised Vulcorian soon saw Zane ,now in String Form, above him. "So are you ready to face the piper?" said Kane. "I guess so Kane. Ready to fuse back?" said Zane. "Yeah." said Kane. Kane soon disappeared being that he went back into Zane. "That never stops being weird." said Zane.

Kane said from inside of Zane,"Yeah. So shouldn't you go back to being Zane?". "I would but for some reason, I have a bad feeling." said Zane. Crisis Judgement soon went off causing him to look up. He saw Sovereign flying right toward Kristen and Rain's location as he said,"Oh no you don't vampire. Time to knock you down a peg.". He fired a huge burst of string right at the vampire and he soon sent Sovereign toward the ground. "It's go time." said Zane.

The two girls were shocked to see Sovereign crashing as Kristen said,"That's the vampire from New York two years ago! What is she doing here?". Sovereign looked up at the two as she said,"So you two are the....". The vampire were soon tied up in a purple and white string cocoon being that Zane ,in String Form, jumped right in front of the girls. "Both of you! Get out of here!" said Zane. "We can help you Zero. We have powers like you." said Rain.

Kristen said,"She's right Zero. I mean my sneeze caused a hurricane.". "And mine is causing things to float and fall down the ground, breaking." said Rain. "Zane. Both of them have a very faint Nether Signature. I'm guessing that Marie's cure worked on the general public but the 1% are immune to the cure." said Kane. "Oh. I'm guessing that you haven't told anyone about your secret life haven't you child?" said Sovereign.

Sovereign broke out of her cocoon as Kristen said,"What is she talking about?". "Oh. You haven't told them that you're friends with the woman who give them their powers without permission and that she kissed you." said Sovereign. She soon grabbed her head as Zane said,"Ignore her you two. She's a crazy psychotic vampire.". She soon turned back into Lilith as Zane saw that she was looking rather ill. Her face is glowing green and it's covered in pulsating pimples.

Cole said,"Wow. Puberty was not nice to her like at all.". Athena slapped him as Kane said,"Zane. It is known as the Omega Virus.". "The Omega Virus? That totally sounds like something that Ed would called a computer virus." said Zane. "You do know how Lilith got her powers right?" said Lilith. "She messed with something that she didn't completely understand?" said Zane. "Nope. It was just one of those college experiment that all girls go through." said Cole.

Athena slapped him again as Lilith said,"Zero. I gained my superpowers due to someone tampering with Edward's dam experiment. I need your help to cure me.". "Why should I help you? You stole my DNA in order to make yourself a son with my powers and a lot of messed up stuff in the past two years. What kind of fool do you take me for Lilith?" said Zane. "A very caring one." said Lilith. Crisis Judgement soon went off as Lilith threw a canister toward the girls.

Just as the canister was about to hit them, Zane fired string at it. The string wrapped itself around the canister and Zane threw it away. "That was a cute toy Lilith but it failed just like your attempt to get a....." said Zane. He soon noticed that the area was covered by crimson red gas. He soon heard the two coughing as Zane's leg was soon grabbed by Lilith. "Let me go right now Lilith. I'll make you pay for doing this after I help them." said Zane.

Lilith said,"You always seem to forget that that I'm part of the Odium Society. My friends are very smart at creating a gas bomb that can be really small and can be fired from a sniper rifle. While you were being distracted by the Gold Commander, they had one of their mercenaries for hire placed on a nearby building to shot the gas bomb while you were distracted with the canister. They're infected with the first phase of Countess Chimera's experiment. Now help me or they'll die!".

She was soon out cold as Zane said,"Son of a...". "Zane. You can swear later. We need to make sure that both Kristen and Rain are safe." said Sivarth. "You're right." said Zane. He turned into Terrapin Form being that he soon made a massive wind current. He made the gas went toward the sky as Zane said,"I really hope this doesn't effect anyone up there. I wouldn't care if it hurts some pigeons though.". Zane soon saw that both Kristen and Rain matched Lilith.

Zane was soon back in his normal costume as he said,"Are you two okay? I hope you two don't kill me for this but both of you girls look awful.". "I don't feel good Zero so do you think that..." said Kristen. She soon sneezed and Crisis Judgement went off. Zane soon turned his chest into fire being that a giant burst of air went through him. Zane soon turned to see that a grove of trees behind him were blown over. "Note to self, don't piss her off." thought Zane.   

Zane heard,"Zero! I could use a lot of help here!". Zane soon looked to see that Rain was floating above the two of them as Zane said,"Hold on Rain. Just float there.". Zane turned his right arm into candy syrup as he stretched it toward her. The girl was soon covered in his arm as Zane soon cut off his arm. He soon attached the limb toward the ground as Rain floated there like a balloon. "So how do I get down Zero?!" said Rainn, who was freaking out.

Zane said,"You need to take a deep breath.". "Seriously?!" yelled the two. Zane covered his ears as he said,"Yes. You two should both know that you're known Cross-Species. A Cross-Species is a mixture of two different species being that you're a mixture of Humans and Phantom. These powers are now a part of you being that you'll need to learn how to use them with several hours of practice. I had to practice my powers too in order to be the hero I am today.".

Kristen took a deep breath as she soon began floating to the ground. "Good job Kris. You're going to be a great hero or not." said Zane. "Thanks Zero. So how do I get out of this?" said Kristen. "Let me handle that." said Zane. He turned his right arm into fire being that it soon melted the candy syrup off her in a second. She jumped back as Zane said,"Yeah. You learn how to control your powers. Now, I need to have a word with Lilith.".

Zane walked over to her as Rain said,"So how do you know her Zero?". "We have mutual friends and since she's a Cross-Species like you two are, we met a lot. She has attacked me several times so we're not exact friendly." said Zane. He grabbed her as he said,"You need to tell me what you mean by all of that Lilith and where is Countess.....". "Back away from her you dam menace!" said a voice. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane jumped in front of the girls.

Zane said,"Sorry ladies but my duty calls! Sweet Wall!". The two saw a huge amount of candy syrup come rushing off his body being that it soon formed a wall in front of them. The two heard something hit the wall being that they heard,"Dam it!". "That's Vicky isn't it?" said Kristen. "What gave it away Kristen? The obvious menace comment or her swearing?" said Zane. "A little bit of both Zero." said Kristen. "Who is Vicky? She is a girl from our school right?" said Rain.

The trio soon saw Agent Phoenix as Vicky said,"Hands up you dam freaks and away from Lilith Rune right now. I will send you back to the hell you came from!". "She hates Phantoms doesn't she?" whispered Rain. "Yeah. She hates them because my dog accidentally destroy her father's lab and her top. She took offense to that and teamed up with my enemy over there to try and kill every single Phantom. She's the type to shoot fire and ask questions never." whispered Zane.

Vicky soon flew right above the wall as she screamed out,"It was a jacket Zero! And tell me how that wall of yours stopped my attack!". "Wow and people call me the most semantic person they have ever met. It's my technique known as Sweet Wall. It's very durable being that it can reflect any attack back on the opponent very much like rubber. It also stole all of its kinetic energy meaning that your attack stopped." said Zane.

Vicky said,"Fine. Tell me what you did to Lilith and these two to make them look like the swamp monster!". "He didn't do anything wrong to us!" said Rain. "She did!" said Kristen, pointing to Lilith who groan out in pain. "Shut up you dam freaks. Whatever HE did to you means that you're now part of the Phantom race so I'll have to eliminate you too!" said Vicky. She soon sprouted two missiles launcher ,that came from her shoulders, as several missiles went toward the trio.

The two girls soon saw that Zane's body soon produced ten turquoise ,sharp looking, grenades and he threw them at the missiles. The grenades soon caught the missiles and the girls soon saw that Zane kicked them into the wall. "He's so fast!" thought the girls. Zane soon grabbed Vicky as she said,"Let me go!". "Meh. Time for you to fly." said Zane. He soon turned into Boulder Form and he soon threw Vicky toward the lake. "And she's out of here!" said Zane.

He turned to the girls as he said,"So are you girls okay? Vicky may be a little crazy.". "Yeah but what about you Zero?" said Kristen. "Honestly, I'm rather tired being that today has been a long one. So are you two going to be alright?" said Zane. Crisis Judgement soon went off as he said with a smile,"Thank god. I finally get a break. Thank you Omniverse.". "So is he slightly crazy?" said Rain. "Possibly." said Kristen.

The three soon saw Natasha Alvarez with Edward Gregory and Reggie Robertson. Zane noticed that their physical appearance changed slightly. Edward's hair changed being that his hair was more gray than black and his blue eyes were slightly dull. His build was still the same motorcycle rider/martial artist. Reggie's hair was shorter being that it was no longer in a ponytail and his eyes were the same color. He's still tall with a solid and thin frame and has muscular body.

Reggie said,"What happened here? We detected a huge Nether amount here.". "It's a long story with a vampire and gas bomb." said Zane. The two girls suddenly felt a wave of nausea with Zane catching the both of them and Zane saw that both of them were out cold. Natasha placed her hands on them as she said,"You two are burning up. This is just the incident two decades ago.". "This happened before mom?" said Zane.

Edward said,"Yeah. It happened once during college. It's a long story and we don't have the time to tell it.". "I'll ask you guys later. So what are you doing here Reggie?" said Zane. "I'm here to talk with you and your mother plus Edward about an experiment of mine but that can wait. We need to treat the three of them before it spreads." said Reggie. "Gotcha. So did you take my car here or what? I'll help you take them to the car if that's the case." said Zane.

Natasha said,"And where are you going Zane? I thought you would be with us.". "To track the man who did this. You aren't stopping me mom. This is something that I have to do. Lilith got them sick for some reason and maybe asking the mercenary who fired the gas bomb on them knows why." said Zane. "Then, give me the girls young man. I can tell that you're serious and you need to do this." said Edward. "Thanks Uncle Ed." said Zane.

He gave Kristen and Rain to the man as Zane said,"I'll be back you two. I promise.". He turned into his normal costume, kissing their foreheads before running off. "I can't believe that you let him go Natasha." said Reggie as he held Lilith in his arms. "He said that I couldn't stop him and I won't. Zane will come back but right now, we need to stop the plague." said Natasha. The trio took the infected girls back to Reggie's limo before driving off.

Zane soon landed on the rooftop ,nearby the park, as he said,"Are you sure that the shot came from here Athena? I'm not in the mood for a joke.". "I'm sure that the shot came from here. Do you want me to do a scan of the area? The sniper may be good but they may have left behind a mixture of a heat and Nether signature." said Athena. "Please Athena...." said Zane. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane dodge several axes and stood in the air.

He was levitating there with him hearing,"You dodged my attack, meaning that you're better than the past versions of you young Zero.". Zane saw Form Morpher standing there and he said,"So are you the sniper?". "I wanted your attention so I waited here and in that time, I eliminated the Odium Society's assassin by absorbing him. You'll thank me." said FM. Zane watched the rather hairy arm turned into a sniper rifle and he fired rightat Zane's right arm, being that it was completely blown off.

FM said,"You may be powerful but I've killed several Zeroes before you. That bullet was made using my Carnal so....". The creature was punched by Zane's right fist being that the creature soon saw that the right arm was still connected to Zane. He soon saw the Carnal did no damage to Zane's right arm being that it looked to be his prosthetic arm. Zane immediately turned his arm back to normal as he said,"Yeah but I'm not like the other Zeros!".

The teen soon saw the four armed creature heading toward him being that Zane just stood there. The Qlakrik was about to swipe down on Zane being that Zane just smiled. "Cyclone Flurry with a side order of Giant Stomp." said Zane as the Qlakrik reached Zane. He soon kicked the six legged creature right above the traffic being that Zane soon gathered up Rainbow Nether in both of his fists. He fired several ,about twenty, Nether blasts at FM being that he didn't like that.

Zane soon jumped and made a flip right into the air being that he was above the Qlakrik. Zane soon outstretched his right leg being that he began spinning toward FM. As this was going on, Zane was going faster and his legs was growing bigger. He soon slammed the sole of his left foot, right in the center of FM. The Qlakrik was sent flying and he was sent right toward the street. However, Zane knew that his attack was going to cause a major traffic jam.

Zane soon stretched his right leg ,which was gigantic, being that it was soon covered by a dark purple metallic scales in a spiral pattern. "Get out of here!" said Zane. He soon kicked the Qlakrik toward the park, being that it was nearby where the girls got the Omega Virus. He soon looked up to see Zane with him holding Spectral Sun being that he was getting ready to strike. FM was about to stand up but he couldn't move.

Zane pressed the blade against FM's neck as Zane said,"You won't be leaving my sight. Tell me what the bastard's plan is. You've infected my friends with that gas! Why are you working with the Odium Society?! Tell me or you die!". FM laughed as he said,"You were once a hero but after killing Prime Gear, you're just like the rest of your kind.". Zane held the blade ,an inch in front of his eyes, as he said,"Trying to stop me from killing you wont work. Tell me what to know or else, you'll die.".

The creature smiled being that Zane and FM was soon covered in the crimson red gas as Zane said in a second,"Heavenly Emperor Tornado!". The gas was soon gone being that it was carried away by a giant burst of wind, launching it into the air. Zane looked to see FM was gone being that Zane soon stabbed the floor where the Qlakrik once stood. "Dam it. He escaped." said Zane. "Your mother is calling you. She needs you at the not abandoned hospital." said Cole.

The teen sighed as he said,"Okay. Tell her I'll be there in five.". He was soon gone as FM reappeared from the bushes. He was panting as he said,"He isn't like the other Zeroes Xona. We were lucky that those humans were planning on getting him distract. Do you want me to go after him?". He turned to see Xona standing there with her looking different from she did two years ago. Her blue skin was more apparent than its pale blue color before. In the past, her body was more thin.

However, her body gained some muscles but she didn't look like a bodybuilder. She made sure of that since too much muscles on any being is too much for her. Her stomach is toned and her shoulders are now quite broad. Her legs are long, yet muscular being that her curves are very voluptuous. Her violet eyes now have a white iris to them. Her lips are black. She has her long white hair in a high sleek ponytail with a black helmet/crown over her head.   

Instead of her black and white skin tight bodysuit that has a hole exposed her chest and stomach, she was wearing something that was both more fitting to battle and more seductive, showing off her very voluptuous body and well-muscled body. She wears a black shirt that shows off the prominence of her chest and navel just like before but she wears gray body armor, covering her stomach. This armor still show off her toned stomach.

She wears a white mini skirt with gray body armor/tights that outline the lower half of her body. She switches out her thigh high black and white boots for gold heels that look rather sharp. "No Form Morpher. We can't let Zane find out about both of us being on the Prime Earth. You're our best killer but the child is much stronger than he was before. I think his desire to get revenge on our master is driving him." said Xona.

FM said,"So is he sure about one of those books being here?". "He may be a pervert FM, being that he flirts with the females in our empire but he gets the job done. It's somewhere in this town of all places. You'll look for it while our master uses his puppet to keep Zero busy. Do you understand? Don't alert him of your presence again." said Xona. "Understood." said FM. The two Qlakrik were gone being that things were only getting to worse.

Next time,
What is the Omega Virus? Why did Lilith get Kristen and Rain infected with? How did Kristen keep her Phantom powers despite being in the same room as Hannah, Karen, and Sam and their Phantom powers were taken away? What is Form Morpher and Xona planning here on Earth? What book are they looking for? This and more next time on Zero!

New Cards/Forms:
Nano Form. This card has a black frame with a circuit-board themed nanochip in the center of the card. When Zane places this card inside, Zane's entire body gets covered in nanochips. His body has an slight echo to it being that it's speech is a mixture of Bold and Italics. He can't grow any bigger but he can go the reverse.
