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.
