Zero Episode 99 Transformation Springs

A/N: I should say that the Battalion will be returning very soon but the main part of this episode is something about the springs of Transformation. Here's a quick reminder if you don't remember who the Battalion were since the Battalion ,as a group, last appearance was Episode 41 which was 50+ episodes ago so I don't blame you if you forgot. Some of the eight man group have appeared before and after the time skip.

The group first consisted of Alfonso ,last name unknown, aka Jester, Alonzo Barrett aka Titan, Carlos Ortiz aka Cinder, Clifford Pena aka Occult Master, Countess Chimera, George Richard aka Emperor who was the leader of the group, Karla Garner aka Cyber, and Walter Davis aka Bedrock. However in the past 58 episodes, the group ,mainly in terms of the group's membership, has changed somewhat for reasons unknown.

Alfonso, Carlos, and George haven't appeared yet in the two year timeskip with the middle member wanting to become a normal person for Kristen, Alonzo, Clifford, Chimera, and Karla have appeared in the story, and Walter is a good guy now with Carlos reforming slowly. So who will be on the team now? Perhaps the new villains that were introduce between now and Episode 81 and some new bag guys. It's pretty obvious but like with the last episode, I won't say who.

So the last episode was a Roxy and Zane bonding episode because I may have given a reason for why Roxy likes Zane in Episode 96 but I really want to show how much he means to her being that he's the first person to like her for her money. I'm sure that Nova and Rain will get their own episodes because I think Karen and Kristen have had enough time. I could be wrong about that but who knows?

We'll also being getting an update costume for Zane soon despite his costume already getting a third version in Episode 82. You could say that I should have done that before but I tend to think as I go with the flow of things. You may have noticed that I haven't mentioned the identity of Zane's paternal grandmother being that we've meet the maternal grandmother. Lets just say that her identity has been revealed already but by her moniker.

Narrator P.O.V.
In an unknown city, there was a shop and it was currently being ransacked. The shopkeeper, who looked to be his golden years and Asian, was hiding behind the counter as he heard,"Where is it? Tell me now!". "You've tried all of my potions, my most special of herbs, and everything in my store. I'm truly sorry but there is no way to stop father time." said the shopkeeper. "I suggest you tell me the truth or else, you'll be sorry." said the intruder.

The shopkeeper said,"It's the truth. You should spend your last moments with your love ones before they die.". "I did warn you but you didn't listen. Stasis!" said the intruder The shopkeeper was soon held in the air covered in a green aura, He soon turned to see the intruder standing there with his right hand glowing green. He has long gray hair with him having a goatee and mustache on him. He has blue eyes. His face has noticeable wrinkles.

He has a muscular figure with him hunched over and has a wooden cane, currently resting in his left hand. He's wearing wearing a black long sleeved shirt over a red vest with a hood that was covering his head. He's wearing brown pants that's ripped around the ends. He wears black flats. He's wearing a medallion ,that's from some war, around his neck. The shopkeeper soon recognize him as one of the seven best sorcerers of the Omniverse Lewis Haynes aka General Necrosis standing there.

Lewis smiled as he said,"I see that you know who I am correct shopkeeper? I may look like an older man but here's the thing, I still have my powerful Animus which can destroy you within seconds and erase away the evidence. I want my youth and I won't be taking no for an answer!". The shopkeeper was soon slammed into the roof ,several times being that it was breaking a bit, before he was sent to the ground. The shopkeeper got back up as Lewis said,"So what do you have?".

The shopkeeper soon held a vial, filled with bubbling spring water, with him saying,"This water is from Crossroads Springs aka the location of the Fountain of Youth. However, Crossroads Springs is a moving location and I currently know where it's most current location is. I do warn you sir. You'll be facing against a powerful guardian.". The vial soon floated toward Lewis with him drinking it and his body aged back to a more youthful form. Lewis was soon gone with a puff of smoke.

Meanwhile, Zane and the rest of his senior classmates was currently in Ashikaga Boulevard, a neighboring town to Cypress Park which is known for being one of the most romantic places in the USA. This is due to several factors but this biggest one is the resorts with the hot springs looking over the town and sunset. The group is here for multiple reasons with there being two main reasons with one being to appease the seniors parents and the other to celebrate Zane's birthday.

The former was because the senior's parents complained about their precious babies not getting their dance due to Marcus's plant invasion that prevented that since the school board gave them a three day weekend here and also to celebrate Zane's eighteenth birthday being that he didn't celebrate it mainly because he was training. They were going to celebrate it when Zane came back but Zoey happened and that was a fair enough reason to cancel the birthday.

Zane hates his own birthday. Zane was born on July 11th 2001, making him a Cancer, but there's a reason for him hating his hating birthday day aka his daddy issues. Shawn Alvarez died ,aka getting sent to the Infinite Void, during Christmas Time when Zane was 6 years old ruined a lot of things for Zane. He tends to be angry but will try his best to see reason. He lashes out on others and wants to move on but his stubborn nature doesn't let him.

This also applies to the holiday season as well with December being his least favorite of all of the months. He hates it because he finds the commercialism of the holiday annoying, the joy of it, and Shawn “died”. He’s called a scrooge/Grinch around this time. Zane was hard to plan a party for due to his ability to read people by their emotions or mind with it being the latter most of the time. It was a real challenge and who's up for this challenge of planning a party for Zane.

At the hotel and in one of the rooms, there is a meeting for Zane's birthday party and it was in the room that Zane shared with Allen, Danny, and Kevin. The two who called the meeting is Danny and Rachel with some of Zane's friends in the room being that the rest of them were helping planning the birthday. The room currently had Allen, Danny, Gwen, Heidi, Jasmine, Kevin, Marcia, Nova, Rachel, Rebecca, Sophia, and Travis.

The group of Jasmine, Marcia, Rebecca, and Travis looked to be the same person but slightly older than they were two years ago. Jasmine is wearing a black leather jacket which she over a dark green peasant top, blue jeans with it looking slightly burned and brown crocheted leather belt, and her purple and white tennis shoes. Marcia is wearing a red t-shirt that was hidden under her purple and white hooded jacket with the hood down.

She also wears a dark blue skirt, black leggings, and white tennis shoes. Rebecca is still wearing her pink-rimmed glasses with a black cat spot on each side. She is wearing a light blue tank top over a long sleeved plaid shirt with it having black and light red stripes, white jeans, and black and orange sneakers. Sophia's hair now shows off both of her eyes. She's wearing a red short-sleeve sweater, blue cropped cargo jeans that shows off 1/4 of her legs, and purple and gray tennis/running shoes.

Travis is wearing a black short-sleeved hoodie jacket with a big front pocket and hoodie. It's edges are silver near the zipper. His jacket had the design of a skull with two guitars across the skull. Under the jacket, he is wearing a dark gray t-shirt. He is wearing black jeans with large pockets and red and white shoes. "Thanks for showing up. All of us have a mission that we need to complete and we can't let Zane know about." said Danny.

Travis said,"It's just his birthday party. I still get what's the big deal?". "Zane hates his birthday due to his father issues." said Marcia. "Ah right." said Travis. "Remember, your lips are sealed and we can't let him know we're doing this." said Rachel. "Okay." said the group. "So how are we going to do this exactly? We're using the hotel's ballroom for the party but we have to keep Zane away from the hotel until we're finished." said Nova.

Kevin said,"Maybe we should just one of his lovely ladies to keep him away. Girls or food stalls can keep Zane distract for hours.". He was soon punched by Jasmine as Rebecca said,"I wish you were wrong about that but you're not. So how are we going to keep a secret from Zane? I mean Zane was able to find out about your secret relationship with Carlos aka Cinder Rachel. Guys usually don't pick up on certain things. No offense you guys.". "It's all good." said Allen.

Rachel said,"Anyway, I call us all of here because while the rest are planning the party, our group will make sure that Zane is kept away from the hotel until they're ready.". "So may I ask, why did you pick us?" said Gwen. "Draw of a hat." said Rachel. "I honestly don't care. I owe Zane a lot and well, I want to celebrate my first party with my friends." said Allen. "Thanks Allen. Me and Rachel have come up with a plan. I call it Operation: Keep Away. I came up with the name." said Danny.

Sophia said,"It's a nice name Danny but what about the boy in question? I heard that he left soon after we arrived to head to the nearby festival but that won't keep him for long.". "That's why I have this little device." said Rachel. She held out her phone with the group looking at it. "You're tracking him Rachel?" said Heidi and Rebecca. "Yeah. Zane has always been rather sneaky since I've known him so a tracer is the only way to keep an eye on him." said Marcia.

Danny said,"Yeah. I asked Zane's mom to put one on him without him knowing. His family is coming here to celebrate including his maternal and paternal grandparents.". "I'm impressed that Zane hasn't found out about it yet." said Gwen. "That's a plan I guess." said Jasmine. "So could I be with the others? I'm not exactly the most sneaky." said Heidi. "You got this Heidi. We'll stay in contact using our phones so are you ready?" said Danny. The group nodded.

Meanwhile, Zane was currently at the nearby fair, enjoying some cotton candy. "Man. I love a good fair." said Zane. "And why do you think that?" said Kane. "Zane likes this kind of stuff due to him mainly growing up in the mountains with his family." said Athena. Zane sighed as Cole said,"Athena is sorry for reminding you about your dad Zane.". "I'm fine. Liv and her group are going to inform me about something later today so I needed to get some air before the news." said Zane.

Zane soon saw a dunk tank with him smirking. He walked toward the booth with him seeing a single guy, running it. He had a slight tan to him, gelled back black hair with a couple of strands hanging in front of him, brown eyes, and a small beard. He's wearing a a dark green button-down jacket with the sleeves rolled up above his elbow, which is unbuttoned. On the upper left side of the jacket, there is a gold feather logo.

Underneath his jacket, he wears a black shirt with five vertical stripes around the chest which are colored, from top to bottom, blue, emerald green, and crimson red respectively. He wears a pair of blue jeans, a brown belt, and gray sneakers with white laces and soles. The man looked up as he said,"Sorry sir. This booth is out of order.". Zane looked it over as he said,"It looks fine to me and if it's broken, why are you here?". "There's no water in it sir. I need to replace it." said the man.

Sivarth said,"He's obviously lying Zane. You can hear the water inside right?". "I know you're lying but just let me a couple of throws. I need to get out some stress and you wouldn't want to be a buzz kill right?" said Zane, slipping him some cash. The man sighed as he said,"Fine sir but just wait a moment. I need to get into the tank. You only have three tries.". He soon got into the tank with Zane holding the balls. "Ready when you are sir." said the man.

Zane held the first ball and he threw it, missing the target. The man shrugged his shoulder as Zane held the second one. He threw it, causing it to miss once again. "Sorry but you're not doing so hot young man." said the man. "He's like twenty three years old. Why is he calling you young man when he's only 5 years older?" said Kane. Zane shrugged as he said,"I'm just getting started.". Zane threw the ball, hitting the target and dunking the man.

Zane cheered a bit as he heard,"No! What did you do?!". The man was getting out of the tank with him saying,"Why of all days did I have to bring the water here?". Zane walked toward the tank as the man said,"No! Stay away!". "Okay. Calm down. It's just water and I guess I'm sorry for dunking you man. Let me get a towel." said Zane. Crisis Judgement soon went off as he heard,"I know you're here guardian! Come out right now!".

Zane soon turned around to see Lewis ,currently floating in the air, and attacking random people with green Animus Beams. "Whose the floating old man?" said Zane. "That's General Necrosis, one of the seven best sorcerers. He's immortal Zane." said Athena. "He's also a really strong sorcerer. He makes our old pals George and Henry look like babies." said Cole. "Keep your guard up. He's looking at you as we speak plus that guy from earlier is gone." said Sivarth.

Zane soon saw that the booth guy was long gone, leaving behind drips of water, and Lewis looked down on Zane. Lewis soon landed on the ground with him saying,"Boy. After I obtain the water of Crossroads Springs, we'll be chatting. Your Animus is similar to my dear old friend Shawn Alvarez. I'll see you real soon since like him, you're a general thorn in my size.". He was gone as Zane said,"Okay then. That was weird. I guess it's time to kick for me to kick some butt.".

Lewis ,who followed the water tail, was looking around as he spotted an cute young woman running away from him. She has olive colored skin with shoulder length reddish-brown hair with a single purple streak in front of her right eye. She wears a dark blue collared blouse with the sleeves rolled up and has a purple cat claw. She wears a denim blue knee length skirt with light red leggings, and white knee high boots.  She has gold-colored stud earrings with a black handbag. 

The old man aimed his hand toward her and said,"Lava Spout!". The spell caused lava to erupt from the ground in front of her. She soon fell onto the ground and before she could run away in a different direction, Lewis stood there. "You see how I look. I refuse to look old so tell me where is Crossroads Springs? I was told that it's here. Where is it? I'll use force if you do anything." said Lewis. "Hey old man. So do you know about personal space ?" said a voice.

Lewis was soon punched by a giant Green Nether Fist with sending him into a wooden barrel filled with water and apples. The elder soon looked to see Zane ,in costume, with him saying,"How about you give up chasing this girl Mr. Necrosis? The retirement home is missing you.". The sorcerer soon destroy the barrel with him saying,"You're not one to underestimate just like those two huh child. If you tell me where Crossroads Springs is, I won't be gentle.".

Crisis Judgement went off as Zane could sense that Lewis's Animus was more noticeable to him and well, he's worthy of one of the seven best sorcerer title. Zane soon stood in front of the girl, with him protecting her from the elder. "I was sworn to secrecy about its location and if I tell you, my master won't be happy." said the girl from behind Zane. "You shouldn't keep secrets from your elders! Terra Fists!" said Necrosis as he slammed his cane into the ground.

Crisis Judgement went off as several earth fists came out of the ground with Zane turning into Bone Form. He soon cocked both of his arms back with him saying,"Bone Storm!". Several bones flew toward the fists, cutting the rocks. Before Lewis could case another spell, the man was soon sent flying by Zane who went into his spiked ball form. The Sorcerer landed into a round-up ride with it currently moving. The old man was soon motion sick with the ride going even faster.

Zane got out of his spiked ball form as he said,"Wow. He really flew. I guess he's really light on his feet. Anyway, I have some questions for you girlie. Do you know happened to the guy who was running the dunk booth? Why is that old man after you? And what is Crossroads Springs? I'm not going to hurt.". "I'm the guardian of something so powerful and if he finds it, the balance will be destroy. I don't know about who you're talking about." said the girl, looking away.

Sivarth said with a sweatdrop,"Wow. She's obviously lying.". Crisis Judgement went off as Zane saw the elderly sorcerer heading toward them and fast. "Child! You sending me to that death trap of a machine! Your death is now!" said Necrosis. A massive beam of Animus went flying toward Zane with the bone creature going into his ball form and he blocked the shot. This send him flying into the bumper cars ride.

Zane soon shook his head as he said,"Wow. His Animus is stronger than Henry and way bigger than mine and Slicer's.". He soon looked up to see that the sorcerer and girl was gone. "Seriously? I lost them again?" said Zane. "Track his Animus Zane. I'm sure that this girl is important and whatever the old timer is looking for, this girl knows what it is." said Kane. Zane nodded as he smiled while looking at the bumper cards.

The girl was currently hiding in the tea cups ride with her hoping that Lewis doesn't find her. "You can't hide from your destiny child! Stasis!" said Lewis. The tea cups were all floating in the air with the girl falling to the ground. Lewis smiled as he walked toward her. Before he could reach her, a row of crimson red Nether spikes were in front of him. Lewis went back as he said,"Nether. I despite this energy.". He soon sent the floating tea cups into the Nether, destroying the both of them.

He looked to see that the girl was gone ,again, as Lewis saw Zane ,out of Bone Form but still in his costume, standing in her place. "Sorry mister but I can't let you hurt her. I mean I need to ask her a couple of questions." said Zane. "I've said this before and I really hate to repeat myself. If you keep standing in my way, I will destroy you!" said Necrosis. "Why can't villains like you and the rest of my rogue gallery make things easy for me?" said Zane.

Before Lewis could do something, he sensed something coming toward him. He soon turned to see Bone Form ,in ball form, heading toward him from the left and several bumper cars heading toward him from the right. "How are you? Oh, you're using Duplication to be in two places. Interesting, we'll see you other soon being that you're like your father. When it comes to a pretty face, you get yourself in messes that you can't handle." said Lewis.

The elder soon turned into smoke, which caused the bumper cars to crash into Bone Form with the former being destroyed by the latter. After getting out of its ball form, the mammal looked at Zane with the teen saying,"You're good to go and become matter in the wind ". Bone Form was gone as Zane sighed. He looked around to see that the fair was destroyed with Zane saying,"Time to do so quick repair.". He turned into Cartoon Form, with him making an army to repair it.

Later, Zane ,who was in his outfit, was over by the dunk tank aka the scene of the crime. "I have two questions. Why are we back here instead of tracking the old man, girl, or the fair employee? And will we be inform your friends about this? We've told you several times not to do things by yourself when you have powerful allies." said Athena. "Yeah. This Sorcerer is different from George and Henry so being overconfident isn't a good option." said Cole.

Kane sighed as he said,"Zane can handle this you two. We've trained him for any problem so I trust him. However, we can't have your family and friends worried about you. If things go to shit, we'll inform the others about our little problem. So why are we here?". "I'm sure that this dunk tank will tell me why Lewis was after that girl and her boyfriend. He's smarter than most of my villains just like Outlaw Frost. I mean he escaped the police twice!" said Zane.

He got closer to the tank with him placing his hand onto his tank. "Okay. So do we have a way to trace wherever this water came from?" said Zane. "Robot Form can show you events from the past can it not?" said Sivarth. "Right. I tend to forget little things like that." said Zane. He looked around him and saw no one as he turned into Robot Form. "Time to go back in time!" said Zane with his magnet hands moving counter-clockwise and he was seeing the past

Zane soon saw the booth guy setting up the tank with him saying,"I can't believe that I'm doing this but seeing the idiotic humans get transformed by the water from Crossroads Springs, it makes getting in trouble by my master worth it.". Zane went further back being that the man was getting the tank into a truck with the logo,"Lagoon Entertainment. 1890 Vermilion Lane, Ashikaga Boulevard.". He drove off with Zane returning back to the present.

Zane said,"Athena and Cole.". "We're already loaded up the directions. Going to take your bike there or warp there?" said Cole. "I need to get some running done." said Zane. He soon turned into Swift Form, leaving behind a cloud of dust. He didn't noticed that someone was watching him. It's a forty year old beautiful woman. She has fair skin being that she’s a slender and shapely woman. She’s an average height of 5 foot 6. She has wrinkles but they’re barely noticeable to others.

She has her waist-length dark blue hair with shorter bangs and violet eyes. She wears red lipstick and long gold earrings with blue gems at the top. She wears sunglasses with blue rims. She wears a black leather jacket with a white t-shirt underneath, purple pants with a pink cherry blossom design and a black belt, and wooden sandals. "That child is a prankster but it's expected. I'm happy we get to meet once again Zane." said the woman as she was gone by turning into water.

Zane ,currently in costume, soon arrived at the location with him walking around. "Wow. This place is huge." said Zane as he noticed a farm. He soon ran toward the farm with Athena saying,"We may be too late.". Zane looked up to see the man from earlier as he said,"Help me! That sorcerer grabbed me and forced the location. I shouldn't have let that child drunk me.". He groaned as Zane said,"Are you alright?". The man soon turned into the girl as Kane said,"Weird but I've seen weirder.".

The girl said,"I've told myself a thousand times not to let the waters leave but I just love to see the humans faces! Curses!". Zane sweatdropped with him saying,"Anyway, where's the Old and Cranky wizard?". "You're too late hero. He used a mind reading spell and well, he always knows where the Oasis is." said the girl. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane saw a giant monster coming toward them slowly.

It's body is made of mulch, covered in trees, has a plow for its right arm, and it roared. "I'll keep it busy!" said Zane. He soon dodged the creature's swing, which destroyed the ground. Zane soon stood by a nearby orange tree with him saying,"Time to fight evil mutated plant with....". He soon turned into Swamp Form as Zane said,"Mutated Plant!". He soon jumped toward the giant, punching him in the chest and making a hole.

He soon wrapped the creature in vines as Zane said,"Stick around for a while. Your beatdown will come after I save the damsel.". He soon made vines grabbed the girl with Zane saying,"Tell me the truth. So why is General Necrosis here and was after you?". "He's here for his youth that he lost due to his potion. I'm the guardian of Crossroads Springs, with each spring having a different effect on whoever enters it." said the girl.

Crisis Judgement went off as the plow cut through the vines and about to swipe down on the two. It was soon held by a giant water whip as the girl said,"Not her!". She cowered in fear as Zane turned to see the old woman ,with water floating around her, saying,"Finish this beast off kiddo! Aim for its center but you know that don't you?". "Yeah. Have a taste of Hellfire Emperor Fiery Kick!" said Zane.

His feet ignited with him jumping toward the creature. Zane soon kicked the head clean off as Zane soon punched the head into the ground. The creature was gone as Zane landed. "And that's how the overgrown creature crumbles. So thanks for the assistance but who are..." said Zane. He soon saw the woman hitting the girl on her head. "Ouch." said Kane. "Master! I'm sorry!" said the girl as she bowed.

The woman soon looked at Zane with her saying,"I did see this being our first encounter kiddo. It's been 18 years so I'm sure you've forgotten about me. My name is Trixie Alvarez but you may know me by two names aka your grandma and Astral Priestess. It's nice to meet you.". Zane's eyes soon widened with him saying,"Grandma?! My grandma is the Astral Priestess!". Trixie smiled as she said,"Yep. We have a lot to talk about grandson.".

Later after the plot dump, the group of Chelsea aka the girl and a fairy, Trixie, and Zane ,out of costume and Swamp Form, were heading toward Crossroads Springs's location in order to stop Lewis's plan. "So you've seen every single thing that I've done so far as Legion Zero, seeing my entire life, and you've met Skull Plague!" said Zane. "Yes. I'm so happy to finally see my favorite grandson. I've only seen visions of you, your siblings, Natasha, and my great grandkids." said Trixie.

She pinched his cheeks with Chelsea saying,"Anyway, I was asked by the Astral Priestess to keep an eye over Crossroad Springs to keep its power away from greedy humans.". "Yet you play pranks on humans using the power." said Zane, talking normally. "I do because it's so boring! I mean I only get to see a couple of people every year. I've have the fountain of youth with its ability to keep you living forever." said Chelsea.

Zane said,"Staying young forever sounds like a dream come true but it's a nightmare. I'm going to live forever thanks to my powers being that I'll missing my family, the people I've fallen for, and it's a curse. You've got to make memories because they'll keep you from going insane.". "Well spoken but I knew you were going to say that." said Trixie. "So are you ready to stop General Necrosis?" said the fairy with Trixie and Zane nodding their heads.

After some walking, the group was soon in a cave with them stopping. Zane saw several bodies of water with Trixie saying,"Welcome to Crossroads Springs. All of these bodies of water each have a different effect being that the fountain of youth is just one of them.". "So could I...." said Zane. "What are you thinking?" said Chelsea. "For a prank but yes. We just need to handle...." said Trixie. The ceiling started to shake as Chelsea said,"It's him isn't it?".

Zane nodded as he turned into Legion Zero. Lewis ,looking younger being that his gray hair was now green and his body was without wrinkles, soon appeared from one of the bodies of water as he said with a smile,"You're too late. I'm back to my true form and nothing can stop me!". Trixie soon made several lances from the bodies of water and they went toward Lewis. The Sorcerer smiled as his eyes glowed gold. "Stasis!" said Lewis.

The water lances were stopped as they went toward Zane's group. They were knocked back as Lewis said,"Your time is at its end children!". He soon had a giant ball of Animus above him as he chanted something. The trio hide behind a rock as Chelsea said,"So any ideas? I really doubt that we can plead to the crazy psychopath who's in complete control over the Crossroads!". "We do have an idea and it's really hot." said Zane.

Trixie said,"I see. We can replace the water but Zane, don't be too destructive.". "You know for a fact that I can't promise that at all grandma but I can restore it back to normal." said Zane. "Well, I just wanted to warn you." said Trixie. "What do you mean by that master? What is he going to do?" said Chelsea. "Just watch the show Chelsea." said Trixie. Zane was now Pyre Form as he sent a stream of fire ,which changed to Zane's emerald green ,with a obsidian black tint, flames. at the sorcerer.

Lewis destroyed the fire with his Animus orb disappearing due to his concentration. Zane launched himself toward Lewis as the fire man said,"Time for my Hellfire Emperor Kick!". He was about to axe kick Lewis, but he was soon sent flying back. "It's too hot in here. I better cool off using refreshing water." said Lewis. Several streams of water went toward Zane as he said with his body glowing bright purple,"Sorry old man but it's time to heat things up! Pyre Prime!".

Upon coming in range of the upgraded form, the streams of water soon evaporate. He's now sixteen feet tall with large arms and legs. His body is still made out of tan gray gas burners that are constantly active. His hair is now down to his waist and his jaw looks sharper. He still wears his black and red helmet that now covered his face. Over his blue-green hallowed out eyes, he has a obsidian black crystal visor with two blue-green dots for eyes.

His jaw, mouth, and nose are covered by a mouthguard aka five grillplates. His body is covered in a charred maroon rock, rough looking metal armor that covered most of his body and had water going through the grooves of his arms, chest, and legs. His shoulders now naturally have mini volcanoes spewing plasma out of them. His left arm still has a volcanic looking blade that has a large flame covering the tip of his blade. His right arm ends with a blood red cannon.

The cannon has water going through the sides of it, giving it a very unique appearance. Instead of Zane's signature flames, his fire is now bluish white color with a tint of gold to it. It was now plasma as well. The bodies of water around Zane were begin to bubbling due to the raw heat of the form. "No way! You're destroying my eternal youth child! I can't now let that happen when I'm so close to obtain after years of not having it inside of me! Animus Oblivion!" shouted Lewis.

Several Animus beams appeared around Lewis with the beams heading toward Zane. "This form is hot being that the sun and I are on equal level! Hellfire Emperor Absolute Method: Quasar Explosion!". Zane soon made a giant fireball which was grows larger by the second. He throws the fireball at his target and the beams went into the ball of fire, melting upon contact. Upon contact with Lewis's body, it soon made a massive fiery explosion that completely cover the area.

Lewis's body was burned and the roof was destroyed thanks to Zane's spell. The Sorcerer was sent flying thanks to the open roof. Zane smirked as Chelsea said,"So why did you let him go into a fire form?! Look at the mess". The room was covered in fire, with the water remaining. "Because I saw this happen thanks to Ultimate Perception. Oh, you'll be moving operations to a more social place aka Spring Gate." said Trixie. "Spring Gate?" said Chelsea as Zane flew to them using fire

Zane said,"Well, it's a town under Cypress Park and filled with some creatures who'll like these waters more than humans. So do you want me to fix the hole before we get some guests?". "Sure kiddo. I suggest you use Restore Form." said Trixie. "Will do grandma." said Zane, giving her a fiery thumbs up. Zane soon turned into Restore Form with the virus form soon spreading out the cave and restore it back to normal.

The duo of Trixie and Zane ,who was wearing his normal outfit. were at a cafe. "Thanks for taking me to get some coffee Zane. I did see this happening." said Trixie. "So how does your vision work grandma?" said Zane, sipping on some water. "It's like Crisis Judgement if that helps. I'll tell you about the intricacies at a later date. So how are you doing with my son/your father's disappearance Zane?" said Trixie.

Zane sighed as he said,"Honestly Grandma, I'm having a long time getting over it. I just can't believe that he's lost. He is one of the best sorcerers of his generation and I've met the others in his generation so he's much better than the two of them. Morgan is good but my dad was something special. I just can't accept that he's lost even though we're taking about the Infinite Void. So do you think he's lost forever?".

Trixie said,"I may be able to see into the future but sometimes, things can surprise you. So which one of those girls are you going to marry first? They care about you a lot Zane.". Zane slowly blushed as he said,"I'm waiting till after college because well, I promise Scott that and I try not to go back on my promises. So why did you come here now? I loved meeting you grandma but still.". "I have reasons to be here child. Time to go." said Trixie. The two were soon gone.

Zane was later in his room being that the party just ended. He was shocked by the party with all of his friends ,including the ones from the Alliance being that Ivan, Liv, and Theron stuck the most out among the group even with his grandfather being there, with Trixie telling him that she's here for this party. Zane may not be a party person but he sucked it up because he could tell that his friends put their heart into it.

Zane was looking at his present from his paternal grandmother being that she gave him newer copies of Supernatural Legends and Mysteries Vol. 3, 4, 6, and 7 plus the book ,Brimstone Grimoire, that was written about the Zero System and something called the Prophecy of Space and Time. He was going to read these books but he promised to train with his grandmother in magic being that she was an expert and Gwen was in awe of her. Zane smiled as he said,'I love my life.". He soon disappeared.
 
Next time,
With Zane's grandma returning, the family ,except for Shawn, is all together in one place. Will Lewis return? How does Ultimate Perception work and how overpowered is it compared to other sight based abilities? What is Swarm planning? And will Zane ask question about his web powers?! This and more next time on Zero!   

Zero Episode 98 The Forgone Promise

A/N: Yeah. The second dance episode was canceled but not because I didn't want to do it. It's was going to be Episode 94 ,because I teased it since Episode 85, but then Marcus Simmons aka Father Nature showed up and well, it got cancelled. I can't promise that I'll be doing another dance like episode but in return, I'm doing a party episode. It's like a dance but there is less talking and more drinking. I should have done this back in Episode 96 but I didn't think about it.

I should say that the Cypress High's Gym Uniform may change being that the newest one in the previous episode. This may be because Zane doesn't like follow the trends and rules of others. We may have seen his new gym uniform. Back to Marcus for a bit, I could have waited to introduce him as a villain until being that he would have interrupted the dance as it was going. Well, things changed and in my opinion for the better.

As I have said multiple times, I'm very much in the moment when it comes to my writing. Here's some hype for fans of this series. Episode 100 will have a character ,who has been in the story since the start, will be making their first appearance in the series officially in the main timeline and not in a flashback. It should be pretty obvious on who it is but I won't say who. It would ruin the surprise to say the very least.

Narrator P.O.V.
It was the middle of the night and outside of the Cypress Park Museum, the police was currently stationed outside of the building. Scott Castro stood with his fellow officers as he said,"So have we confirmed the ringleader?". "Yes sir! It's the super villain Umbra." said a officer. "So beside for her, is anyone in there with her? We'll charge in if she's alone in there." said Scott. "Not from what I saw but I could be wrong." said a voice.

The police chief turned to see Zane ,in Specter Form, floating there as Scott said,"Oh hey kid. So why are you Specter Form?". "Long story. So what's the plan?" said Zane. "She's is a living shadow but compared to Steamroller or Titan, we can handle her kid. From what we know about her powers, she isn't a combatant." said Scott. "I see. Do you want me to go in ahead? I don't mean to offend you Scott but you and the rest of the police force stick out." said Zane.

Scott said,"True. You do have several forms that can phase through matter. Thank god that you aren't a super villain. You would be unstoppable.". Zane sweatdropped with Cole saying,"So why aren't we a villain again? He does have a point.". "Did you forget that he's Karen's father? He's also a great detective. I highly doubt Zane could keep a secret from her or the other girls. Speaking of your love interests, Roxy needs to talk with you about something important." said Athena.

Kane said,"So why does she like you again Zane? I mean she's hot don't get me wrong but well, I don't trust her.". Zane rolled his eyes at Kane's comment with him saying,"Anyway Scott, I better get going. I'll make sure you or your men will know if anyone other than Umbra and myself in there.". He was gone and floated toward the building. He entered the building ,by phasing through it, and he looked around.

He had been here a couple of times for field trips and been to a couple of them during his childhood road trip with Marcia so he was an expert of it. "I better switch forms just in case Umbra has a Nether detector on her." thought Zane. Zane turned into Nano Form and shrunk. He soon flew around the building, looking for any sign of Izzy. His body had an eerie green glow around him. "So what's the signal? Please tell me that it won't involving destroying the museum here." said Sivarth.

Zane soon looked away as Sivarth said,"It is isn't?!". "I don't think Zane would try and destroy the museum." said Athena. "Yeah. Zane may be scarred by them but well, I think he wouldn't want to lose his super hero discount." said Cole. "Yeah and plus, it would break the trio's hearts to hear about their dad as a criminal." said Kane. Zane nodded with him soon hearing voices. He soon flew down the hall as he was in an exhibit hall.

He soon grew back to his normal size with him saying,"Okay. I'm sure that I heard voices around here so where are they and what is this....". Crisis Judgement went off as Zane shrunk down to an inch tall and this helped him dodge a energy beam. "You've gotten stronger Zero but that's to be expected from the hero who keeps growing with each battle." said a voice. The light soon turned on with Zane seeing that Leech Vine aka Lyra Morrison and Umbra aka Irene Smith standing there.

The girls have changed in two years. Irene wasn't in her shadow form being that she looked like her normal human self. Her skin tone is lightly tanned. She has short black hair with it going up to her chin and brown eyes. She wears a gray vest with a black, long sleeved shirt underneath. She wears dark red pants with a light brown belt. She wears light purple boots that go up to her knees. She has metallic elbow, knee, and shoulder pads. She had gold hoop earrings.

Lyra's skin looked like it did when she isn't using her powers aka dark purple. She has long light blond hair that goes to her shoulders. She's wearing a green scarf around her neck. She wears a green tank top with black stripes, brown capris, and black thigh high boots. Zane noticed that her hair was covering her dark red vine protrusions on her shoulders. Zane soon return to his normal size and he turned his arms into blades. "Why are you two here?!" said Zane.

Laurie pouted as she said,"Don't you miss us Zero? We haven't been in Cypress Park in such a long time and some many things have changed.". "I didn't miss either of you." said Zane. "Yeah! Zane already has enough rogues in his gallery." said Cole. "We didn't rob anything or cause any trouble for the past two years I'll have you know." said Irene. "Okay but you two escaped from prison during that love fiasco. I may have forgiven Walter because he payed for his crimes." said Zane.

Laurie said,"Was our crimes that bad?". "You tried to take over the city using your powers just because you weren't going to be student council president and Irene tried and killed Hannah just because she caused David to break up with her. In the case of the latter, I don't think David should have broken up with you." said Zane. "Thank you Zero but I'm over him. It's been almost three years since we broke up after all." said Irene.

Zane said,"So why are you two here? I'm sure that you two aren't idiots.". "We aren't. Irene here wanted to contact you so we decided to sneak into the museum. I used to love this place before I was given this power." said Lyra. "And why did you want to contact me?" said Zane. "Because we have some information that you may want to hear hero. How about you get rid of the police outside? The Odium Society is chasing us." said Umbra.

Before Zane could answer, Crisis Judgement went off. He soon dodged a barrage of shurikens ,that looked to be laced with a poison, with him and the two girls,"Zero? I didn't expect those to come after you so soon but if you're against me capturing and bringing these girls back to my bosses, I'll have to kill you.". "And that's the person whose chasing us." said Lyra. Zane soon rolled his eyes as he saw a figure stepping out of the shadows.

She looked to be twenty one years old. Her build is svelte yet toned. She has olive-colored skin and looks to be a very dangerous woman. She has thin eyebrows. She has long dark brown hair ,that goes down to the middle of her thighs, with bright green tips and pupil-less green eyes. She wears a navy blue trench coat ,that goes to her calves, with it slightly torn and ripped with the sleeves ripped off and on the back, it has a single red stitched heart.

Under her jacket, she wears a low cut red kimono top that exposes her midriff and shows off a bit of her cleavage. She wears black jeans with a red sash around her waist and a silver triangular mark in the center of the sash. She wears gray, fingerless gloves that goes up to her elbows. She wears a black choker necklace. She wears silver arm guards and leg guards She wears brown knee-high boots. "My name is Razor and taking you in will be just extra Zero." said Razor.

She rushed toward Zane as Irene said,""Don't let her get close to you Zero!". Zane soon grabbed her as Lyra said,"I don't think the hero'll listen to you. Irene.". "Sorry not sorry but I won't be killed today nor ever." said Zane. He shocked her but she smiled at this action. She stabbed his neck with a sai with her saying,"You may be robotic but my weapons are sharp enough to pierce metal. You'll be effected with my poison that can kill you within minutes.". She backed off as Zane stood there.

She smiled with her turning to both Irene and Lyra. "I'm a nice killer so if you two give up without a fight, I'll give the hero a cure but also a paralyzing agent. I still want my bonus after all." said Razor as two collapsible katana appeared in both of her hands. "So are we going to fight?" said Lyra as some energy gathered in her fists. "No. Do you really doubt Zero's strength?" said Irene. Razor was blasted in the back by golden electricity and she slowly turned around to see Zane in a form that was new to her.

He looked to be four feet tall. His body seems to be a mixture of a living ,breathing, 9 volt battery and snake. His body is mostly a black color and has gold electricity coming out through the top of his head, forming hair. His head is in the shape of a upside down triangle and has two circular eyes with them being glowing yellow. He has a + symbol on the top on his forehead and a - symbol on his chin. On his chest, he has a gold thunder shaped marking on his chest. 

On his arms and legs, he has three bolts on each limb which are very sharp looking. "Electron Form is here to shock you!" said Zane with him having a extremely high-pitched and staticky voice. He blasted her with electricity and knocked her back. Razor got back up and rushed right toward Zane. She slashed him into several pieces with her saying,"I guess you were all talk.". Irene saw that the pieces of Zane reformed into a copy of Electron Form. "Time for my Thunder Emperor Knife!" said the army.

The batteries were covered in electricity with them rushing toward Razor with their hands ,in the air, to either the left or right of them. The assassin was stabbed with several waves of electricity and she was knocked back. Outside, Scott saw the golden electricity with him saying,"That must be the signal! Get in there!". "Yes sir!" said the police force. Back inside, Razor looked at Zane with him and his clones smiling. "Despite that form's size, it's a powerhouse." said Irene.

She turned to her friend with her awing at its cuteness and the shadow woman sighed. "You'll pay for interrupting my work with me draining you of your electricity." said Razor. She soon heard several footsteps with Zane saying as the copies soon formed back to the prime,"You won't be able because the police will be here to capture you.". Razor soon threw a smoke bomb down and she was gone with Zane flying over to the window. He opened it, causing the smoke to leave the room.

He turned to see Irene and Lyra standing there with him saying,"I totally thought that you guys would escape during the chaos.". He was soon hugged by Lyra with Irene said,"We have something to tell you and if it involves our powers getting negated and pleasing the police force, I'll do it plus my friend likes that form even more than that form you used during our first encounter.". The police came into the room with Zane saying,"So how are you guys doing tonight?".

Later, Zane ,out of Electron Form but still in costume, was talking with Irene and Lyra at his secret base aka the clock tower. Both girls were wearing power hampering cuffs around their wrists as Lyra said,"So this is your base of operations? Nice view.". "So tell me what you needed to tell me before I send you back to Scott?" said Zane, sipping a soda. "Wow. You're on first name basis with the guy. I guess you being the number one hero in town gives you special benefits." said Irene.

Zane rolled his eyes as he said,"Talk or else, I'll make sure that you won't be leaving jail until you're thirty. I have that power.". "Fine. The Odium Society is turmoil because of the leaders have egos that are bigger than mine and Kevin are." said Lyra. "Wow. I didn't expect that. So do you know who the leaders are? I know two of them." said Zane, thinking about Drew and Fallout. "Well, there are four main leaders." said Irene.

Lyra said,"The four main leaders do have one thing in common. They all want to rule something but what they want to rule is different. Andrew/Drew Collins wants to rule Cypress Park, the billionaire wants to rule the world and make sure that he's never stopped by heroes like you, Rocco Sloan wants to rule the world for his Deviants due to them being oppressed as a group, and Fallout wants to rule the Omniverse and bring the Apocageddon.".

Irene said,"We were unable to find out who the Billionaire really is but this is valuable is it not?". "So why aren't this Billionaire guy and Rocco working together?" said Cole. "Humans ,mainly men, can not share power." said Kane. "I see. Is that what you wanted to tell me?" said Zane. "Part of it. Do you wish to know about the assassin trying to us earlier?" said Irene. "Sure. Is she powerful? I mean she seems like a normal human to me." said Zane.

Lyra said,"She's worked with the Odium Society for six years and is able to kill a target even if said target was being guarded by several armed guards. She's also an impressive fighter, being able to take down metahumans. She can also hide her presence from people with heighten senses like you. She also has a signature sword that can slice through anything in its path.". "Wow. She sounds tough but I think I can handle her. So are you two ready to go back to jail?" said Zane.

Irene said,"So are we going to get special treatment in prison?". "Who knows? Are you two ready because I moved us here just in case, you planned on escaping. I also had the power dampening or hampering cuffs on you girls just in case." said Zane. "Smart." said Lyra. Zane turned into Teleport Form and he grabbed the girls. "So what can this one do?" said Irene. "Drop you off at the prison and it's free." said Zane, as the three were gone by a portal.

Meanwhile, Drew was in his office and he said,"You may be an assassin of metahumans but you let two of them escape you.". Razor soon appeared in the room with her saying,"You wouldn't say that Zero would be able to stop me for collecting those traitors.". "You've down this job for six years now so you really should expected the unexpected. Zero is the definition of unexpected and in my honest opinion, he should be our main focus." said Drew.

Razor said,"The Empress has promised a plan that will bring the end to Zero and accomplish three of our leaders's goal for complete control of Earth. It was three to one and if I recall, you were one of the three that voted for the Empress.". "I did but that was before her creation Father Nature took over Cypress Park for a week, stopping my business when it should have prospered during the chaos and mayhem of the whole thing." said Drew. "Is there anything else you need from me?' said Razor.

Drew said,"You're working for me and provide me some assistance for the party tomorrow night. In this city, something will happen and I need to keep up my cover. You understand what you're going to be doing.". "Yep. I'll be your shadow Mr. Collins. You have my word." said Razor. "I expected good things from you." said Drew. "You won't be disappointed if you've read my report and I'm sure you have." said Razor, as she was gone.

On the outskirts of town, there stood the Stars mansion that looked over the town. It was a bigger than normal home ,being two stories, with the front yard of the building having two water fountains in it, a bunch of rare and exotic animals roaming the back and front yard, and a statue that looked like Roxy behind a large metal gate with the gate working to keep out the town. There were a patch of hedges that were cut to make a shooting star.

A woman was standing there in the dining hall, looking at her tablet. She has long light blond hair that goes straight down, blue eyes, and pink lipstick. Her most noticeable trait is that 10 karat smile of hers. She's wearing a purple dress with thin shoulder straps, diamond-shaped gold earrings, and black high heels. "This guest list is for our engagement party is something else Roland." said the woman as she turned to see her future husband Roland Gordon, ordering the servants around with a finger snap.

Roland didn't change in two years. They were setting up for something as Roland said,"Yes dear. I've invited all kinds of people, being that the only requirement is that they have to monetary wealth being through legal or illegal means. It doesn't matter.". A servants soon placed a spoon down with Roland slapping him. "You dam idiot! The soup spoon goes at an angle. We're not savages like those people below us." said Roland. "Now where is.....?" said the woman.

A girl's voice said,"Right here mom.". The woman soon turned to see Roxy standing there with her wearing casual clothing. "What did I tell you about wearing casual clothing to dinner? We aren't like those people down there. Go change" said the woman, as she walked toward her. "I just got back from hanging out with my friends so I haven't had time to change." said Roxy. "Mind your mother Roxanne. Annette is correct." said Roland.

Roxy said,"Why should I listen to you? You and my mom were enemies until last year when for no good reason, you two decided to get....". She was soon slapped by her mother as she said,"I expect you to listen to your father Roxanne. This is for the good of our......". A loud shaking soon happened as objects in the room began to float. "It's happening." said Roland. Roxy looked at her future step father as anything that wasn't living attacked them.

Roland evaded most of them as he said,"You belong to me objects! I command you not to attack me right now!". He soon jumped under the table, mainly to avoid the stuffed tiger. He turned to his future wife and daughter with Annette saying,"This is a big problem. Our party is coming soon and it can't be ruined by some supernatural accident.". "I'm sure that there is someone who can handle this kinda of crap." said Roland. Roxy smiled as she said,"I know just the guy.".

Annette rolled her eyes as she said,"Please tell me you're not thinking Legion Zero. I think he'll only make the party worse due to him being the cause of those criminals.". "No mom. I was thinking Zane Alvarez." said Roxy. "Zane Alvarez? He's the boy whose mother is friends with Reggie Robertson correct? He's the guy we need to solve this problem. Call him here." said Roland. A plate broke in front of them as Roland said,"Tomorrow.".

The next morning, Zane was currently sitting on the couch and enjoying his day off. He was watching some TV as he said,"I'm so happy that today's my day off because I finally get to catch up on the TV version of Masquerade's escapades. I won't be leaving this house until I'm all caught up so Kristen or my telepathy won't spoil it for me.". "Daddy! We need some help in here!" said Zoey's voice. Zane paused the TV as he walked into the kitchen.

The teen soon saw his two daughters and Zoey's Phantom friend Vexira/Vex trying to bake something and well, it was a complete mess in here. She looks to be a normal girl, with her being around 7-8 years old just like Zoey. She may have been born two years ago but to Zane and everyone else who knows her true origin, she was eight years old. According to Parker, she will be able to age like the other kids but will need a certain formula that Parker has been working on.

Zane thanked his godfather for that with Zoey giving Parker a hug which the Eazairvian said that he didn't like but Zane could tell that he did. She has lavender skin which looks to be transparent but she could pass as a human. She has long white hair ,with a single blue and purple streak, with her having part of her hair in a sideways ponytail to the left of her head. She has green eyes with aqua blue lipstick and red eyeliner. She has black stud earrings.

She wears a simple light purple dress with a knee-high slit and red belt, dark pink leggings, and short ,up to her ankles, brown high heel cowgirl boots. "Thank the gods, your grandmother is out on ladies night because she would be slightly furious at this mess. You're just baking cupcakes not a full course meal but no one's perfect at everything." said Zane. The three girls soon looked down as they said in unison,"Sorry Daddy/Zane/Mr. Alvarez.".

Zane sighed as he said,"It's fine girls. I'm not mad because when I was your age, I made much bigger messes so this is tiny. So how about we clean this up and watch some TV?". "Weren't you going to watch some TV show?" said Vex. Zane said while shrugging,"I'll can watch it later Vex. It's on a streaming service so I don't have to worry about ads or missing it. It's a very nice benefit. So how do you think we should clean this mess up?".

Uriel said,"Use one of your forms! Please with sugar on top!". "Sure." said Zane. The girls soon saw Zane standing there in a new form. He looks to be a humanoid bear with elements of a rabbit being 8 eight feet tall. His body is covered in dark gray fur ,with a beige colored belly, with his muzzle being a peach color and his small, round nose is pink. His head is mostly covered by a purple stripped beanie and this hat only uncovers his eyebrows, eyes, and muzzle.

His hat also exposes his long, pointed ears. He has two glowing circular blue eyes with gray sclera and two black eyebrows. His muzzle has a noticeable fang coming out of the upper half of his muzzle and this can be seen when his mouth is closed. His arms and legs are made out of obsidian crystals with three triangle shaped claws on each one of his hands feet. He has an average sized gray striped tail sticking out of his back.

He's wearing a sapphire blue sleeveless shirt with a black and white ,with an amber colored lightning bolt pattern, bandanna tied around his neck. He wears dark red jeans with a gold belt. He wears a pair of brown-toed white heavy boots and brown fingerless gloves. The girls hugged him as they said,"You're so fluffy looking Daddy/Zane/Mr. Alvarez!". "Osmosis Form may be fluffy but watch and learn. You can make a mess into a success if given the right tool." said Zane. 

The trio watched the form clean up the kitchen with him making a plate of cupcakes. "Lets eat in the living room okay?" said Zane. "Okay!" said Uriel and Zoey. Vex nodded with the four heading into the living room. Zane turned his head toward the TV and he noticed that Cody Glover was currently outside of a mansion. "Wasn't the TV off when we left the room?" said Athena. "I think the rich in the town have a way to make sure that everyone knows what's going on. That's weird right?" said Sivarth.

Cody said,"Tonight's the night folks. This is the engagement party of the Gordon and Stars's family who have been heated rivals for generations. This party has a strict code being that you have to have a large amount of money to attend. We're taking a new worth of least 100 million and nothing less to attend this part. You also need a great rep.". "That party looks so amazing you guys. I really want to go there." said Zoey. "Me too! I bet they have amazing sweets." said Uriel.

Zane said while crossing his arms,"They mostly likely do cotton candy but to get the sweets, there are selfish jerks.". "You may have a point there Mr. Alvarez but since they're selfish jerks, they are totally prank worthy. We could attack them with silverware or maybe one of those stuffed statues they have in their mansion" said Vex. "You have a point there Vex. I may be friends with some of the 1% like Reggie and Roxy but I'm not exactly a fan of the 1%." said Zane.

Zoey said,"So should we sneak in there and cause a scene?". Zane tussled her hair as he said,"Most parents with superpowered kids would tell their kids not to do that but I'm not way like them in the slightest. How about we start making a plan after snack time of course.". The girls nodded as Uriel pouted. Zane sighed as he tussled her hair, causing her to smile. The doorbell ringed as Zane soon deactivated Osmosis Form. "I'll be right back." said Zane.

The trio ignored him as they were watching TV and enjoying cupcakes. Zane opened the door to see Nova and Roxy standing there. "Zane. I need your help." said Roxy. "With what exactly? Please tell me that it isn't school related Roxy." said Zane. "No Zane. It's about Roxy's party tonight and their  supernatural problem." said Nova. "Okay then. That's weird and totally got my interest. What's going on?" said Zane.

The two girls soon came inside the house as Roxy said,"Did you just bake something? I didn't know you could even do that hero boy.". "I'm just full of surprises. So what do you mean by supernatural problem Nova?" said Zane as he stretched his arm into the living room to grab a cupcake. "Well, a Phantom is haunting Roxy's house and if the party is ruined, Roxy will be send to Europe just like Christina was." said Nova.

Kane said,"So that's what happened to her. I wondered where she went. She liked your other life a lot for some reason. So why was she sent there?". "I think it was for talking about Zane's alter ego too much. Lets just say that Roland is part of the group that wants Zane and all Phantoms dead being that they fund Swarm by a good amount." said Athena. "I would love to help you Roxy without hesitation but I have these three to take care off." said Zane, pointing to the trio of younger girls.

Roxy said,"So are they having a playdate or sleepover?". "A little bit of both." said Zane. "So where's your mother or the rest of your family?" said Nova. "Everyone beside me is out right now and since today is my day off, I was asked to keep an eye on these three." said Zane. Zoey soon floated over to Zane as she said,"Hi Nova and Roxy! Have you met Vex? She and I are best friends.". Vex waved to the two others girls as she ate her cupcake.

Zane said,"She's from Terrarune and according to Celeste, she's very much a troublemaker like yours truly. Her and Zoey hit it off quick.". "We did daddy! So are you going to invite my daddy to your party? I mean it's supposed to be super amazing." said Zoey. "The sweets are going to be amazing right? Do you really need Zane though?" said Uriel. "They're and I'll give some to you after I return your daddy back to you. " said Roxy.

Uriel's eyes sparkled as Zane said,"She really likes sweets. So if you have someone to keep an eye on these three, I'll go.". "Thank you." said Roxy. Roxy hugged him as Uriel said,"I want a hug too!". She hugged her dad, causing him and Roxy to fall onto the ground. Nova smiled as she said,"I guess she's the jealous type.". "Yeah but she loves daddy because he's so amazing." said Zoey. "Yeah. He really is." said Nova, smiling at her boyfriend.

She got down to Zane's eye level with her saying,"I'll stay here and keep an eye on these three for you Zane. We girls can have way more fun.". "Thanks Nova. Remind me about this favor okay and do you think you can help me with her?" said Zane as Uriel wouldn't let go of him. "Zoey. It's time for Operation Lets Go." said Vex. Zoey nodded as Uriel were held by Vex and Zoey. Uriel sulked as Zane said,"I'll be right back okay? We can play then okay?". Uriel nodded as she said,"Okay!".

Later that day, a limo was driving toward the mansion and the main gate opened to allow the limo to drive through the gate, being that it soon closed behind the limo. The main door to the manor was soon opened as Zane soon looking around the main room. Zane sighed as he said,"This place is way too fancy for my taste. Roxy, you look nice by the way. You and the others are way too good for little old me.". He turned to the girl who blushed.

Roxy herself is wearing an off-the shoulder black dress that seems to enhanced her curves. Her dress goes past her thighs and had a dark purple ,laced, edge to it. She's wears diamond earrings and dark purple gloves that went to her elbows. She's wearing a pair of black ankle strap high heels. "Thanks Zane. I was going to wear this for the dance but then Marcus took over the world." said Roxy. "He almost did Roxy but we started dating so good with the bad I guess." said Zane.

Zane soon saw Annette and Roland walking toward him and Roxy. "Hello Zane. It seems that you're need to handle our little problem before the guests arrived in a hour." said Roland with a fake smile that Zane could see as fake. "Nice to meet you too. So where's your other daughter Roland? I thought she would be here but I guess you couldn't handle being a fan of..." said Zane. He was soon pinched by Roxy as Roland said who ignored Zane,"Roxy, be a dear and take Zane to the problem room.".

Annette loudly whispered,"Please tell me that he isn't going to be dressed like that.". Roxy turned to see Zane, who was sipping from one of the outdoor water fountains much to the confusion of the help working there. "I'm on it." said Roxy. Later, Zane groaned as he said,"I hate dressing nice. It kills my inner bad boy.". He and Roxy were currently in a dressing room ,with Zane getting dressed for tonight, as Athena said,"We're lucky that Roland didn't have you dressed in a maid outfit.".

Cole made a gagging sound as he said,"I've seen the footage of Bryan in a cheerleader uniform and I like you Zane but you're not dressing like a girl unless you're Zara.". "Well Cole,  I already have my zombie maid costume prepared for the next Hallow's Eve." said Zane. "So how much longer are you going to take? We're on a time crunch here." said Roxy as the blond saw Zane standing there. He's wearing a variation of the fedora that he wore during his sophomore dance.

It's a black fedora that had a gray ribbon around it. He's wearing a white dress shirt ,which is un-tucked, a button up, and made of silk, with a blood red tie. He wears a black ,pinstripe, waistcoat over his shirt. He wears this with black pants and black dress shoes. He looked quite dashing with him keeping his glasses and the rest of his gear aka his earrings, enigma talisman, headphones, signet ring, watch, and wooden necklace.

Zane said while messing with his collar,"These things are so dam tight. I really don't understand how butlers wear tuxedos and swim suit variation all of the time.". Roxy was quiet as Zane said,"Are you okay? Cat got your tongue?". "Wow. You clean up nice Zane." said Roxy. Zane soon blushed red as he said,"So how big is this place? I would probably get lost on my way to the bathroom.". "It's pretty big. My family tries and impress everyone." said Roxy as she fixed his tie a bit.

The two were soon walking through the halls as Zane said,"That must be the worst. I mean you can't be your real self.".  Zane soon entered a room as he said,"This is an impressive den. I like it.". It had several dead stuffed animal heads, paintings, a fireplace being currently lit, and lots of dark wooden furniture. The room had a dark reddish tint to it. "This is where the "accidents" have been happening mainly. You can handle this right? Please tell me that you can." said Roxy.

Roxy soon stood in the room as Zane said,"I can Roxy. So how about we play some pool why we wait?". "You do know that the party starts in forty five minutes right?" said Roxy. "Phantoms usually don't come up of their hiding spots until they feel like it. We can't rush this." said Zane as he looked around the room. "Swarm would rush the process wouldn't they?" said Roxy. "Yeah. According to what I've gathered, this Phantom only has the ability to move objects around." said Zane.

Roxy said,"So what are you going to do Zane?". "I'm going to make sure that I or the Phantom don't destroy your home too much Roxy because I'm sure that if I went all out on this Phantom, this place would be destroyed. I'll just use my amazing communication skills to stop this Phantom." said Zane with the girl rolling her eyes at his comment. Zane soon sensed something as he said,"It's here with us so get ready.".

He soon walked around with him turning toward a painting that was hanging over the fireplace.  He looks to be a lumberjack wearing a red flannel shirt and blue jeans with brown boots. He looks to be very large, strong, and muscular. He has thick black eyebrows with short red hair. He has his arm and chest hair exposed with a thick beard. He looks to be related to Courtney mainly because of their red hair in Zane's opinion.

Due to the stormy weather outside, lightning struck as the room was covered in a flashing light due to the lightning. As the light faded, Zane soon looked back to the painting and see that the lumberjack in the picture was gone. Roxy soon saw that one of the animal heads ,a bear, had blood dripping from its mouth. The fireplace soon had the room covered in fire as all of the animal heads ,in the room, soon chanted,"The Gordon and the Stars family have betrayed this town.".

Lightning soon stuck the ground outside and objects flew around the room. Roxy soon went up to Zane as she said,"So is this normal?".  Zane shook his head as he said,"Nope. This is a Phantom who mostly likely can't be reasoned with. I may have to destroy your house a bit Roxy.". "The blood of the men who built these houses stain the sky for years to come. Today, the forest shall take its vengeance." said the animal heads.

Roxy soon shook Zane back and forth as she said,"Do you have a plan to stop it or what?". "I'm sure that I can handle it so calm down." said Zane. A skeleton soon came out of the fire with it roaring out in pain. "Okay. We should probably hide." said Zane as he grabbed the girl. The duo hid under the table as the skeleton's skin reformed on its body and it was the lumberjack. "I smell a Star!" yelled the Phantom.

His beard soon turned into blue flames with his hair seemingly disappearing, showing his skull. He soon held a large wooden double sided axe. "Come out and face your punishment or else!" said the Phantom, dragging the axe along the ground. Roxy looked at Zane who was thinking instead of doing anything. "Don't you have a power to save us?!" said Roxy. The table was moving as Zane turned the girl and himself intangible.

The Phantom looked toward them as he said,"I thought I sense a Star but I was wrong. However, I do sense a Phantom and I can't be fooled by its trickery!". He soon threw his axe right toward the duo as Zane caught it just before it hit Roxy's head. He and the girl reappeared as Zane said,"Sorry but I'm not letting hurt Roxy tonight or ever!". Zane soon threw the axe back at the Phantom, going straight through his body and cutting him in half.

Kane said,"That's both cool and disturbing.". "Zane. This Phantom is driven by revenge and as you mostly likely know by now, emotions can power a Phantom. I doubt that you can handle it without destroying the mansion so take this fight outside." said Sivarth. Zane soon nodded at his Phantom partner's advice as Roxy said,"Zane! Lets get out of here!". "Right." said Zane. The two were soon gone as the Phantom reformed and chased after them.

They were running as the Phantom laughed. "Lets go through the garden Zane so you can really show him what happens when you mess with the Phantom King's Wife!" said Roxy. Zane looked at her as the two ran through the garden. Zane soon jumped over a tiger as he said,"Sweet Blast!". He soon made a ball of his candy syrup blood and he threw it toward the Phantom. It soon made a massive explosion of candy syrup, trapping the Phantom and a couple of animals there.

Zane smirked as he said,"Take that Lumberjack!". Roxy grabbed him as the two ran back inside. The Phantom roared as his beard fire melted the candy syrup. Their shoes were muddy as Roxy said,"Got anything Zane?". "Yeah. According to an old legend, Phantoms could be trapped in mirrors and it can be any size. I see one ahead!" said Zane. The two were heading toward a pristine white room, where a large pyramid shaped mirror hanged on the rear wall.

Roxy soon grabbed his arm, stopping him for entering. "Wait! We can't go in there! This room is my mom's favorite since it cost a lot of money to even make it a reality! She'll kill me if we track mud in there!" said Roxy. "You can't be serious Roxy. A lumberjack Phantom is trying to kill you and your family but all you care about is some stinking room!" said Zane. He tried to force his way into the room but Roxy held him back. Roxy looked at him as she said,"Please Zane.".

Zane heard,"Come out here Star. I want to kill you with my axe before I burned your home and the Gordon's homes to the ground!". "You heard the psychopath Roxy! We don't have the time to fight about this!" said Zane. The two fought for a bit as Roxy said,"My parents will kill me!". "Why are you scared of those two posh pricks?!" said Zane. "You wouldn't understand!" yelled Roxy. The two soon fell through a nearby painting of a skeleton in a crown and robe.

The ghost soon flew past them in the opposite direction, laughing all the way. After getting up, Zane soon coughed an decent amount of dust as he said,"So where are we?". Roxy soon looked around as she said,"I have no idea. This is new to me.". "Haven't you live here your entire life?" said Zane. "My house is huge Zane and my mom or my dad didn't exactly approve of me exploring when I was Uriel or Zoey's age." said Roxy. "Ah. Sorry about earlier." said Zane.

Roxy said,"Yeah. I'll tell you everything about my family after this is all over. If I didn't know about this place, I'm betting that the rip off Santa Claus Phantom doesn't know either.". Zane look around as Crisis Judgement went off. Roxy was standing nearby something as the sheet was coming alive and about to devour her. "Roxy! Duck!" yelled Zane as he soon charged up Mojo. Roxy ducked as the sheet was destroyed by a black beam of energy.

The Phantom soon flew into the room with him saying,"All shall pay for the promise forgotten by the ancestors!". He soon chased after Roxy with Zane noticing a box of silver dishes, utensils, and other things. "I got it!' said Zane. Roxy tripped as she said,"Stupid old room.". She looked up to see the Phantom holding his axe ,which was covered in his blue flames, and he said,"You will die first Stars girl!". "Sorry buddy but that ain't happening!" said Zane.

Zane ,currently in Mirror Form, stood there in front of Roxy with the mirror creature holding a shield like mirror in front of him. "Dam you!" said the Phantom. The two teens were both knocked out of a second floor window, being that Zane held Roxy tightly in his arms. He turned back to normal as the two fell down a short hill. Roxy and Zane soon kissed as the teens blushed. "So did you?" said Roxy as she saw Zane holding a chunk of his mirror shield.

The two soon looked to see the ghost punching the mirror's interior and saying,"Free me so I can exactly my revenge on the Gordon and Stars families!". The two hugged each other with Roxy said,"You sure did it Zane and without destroying my house too much!". Zane soon blushed as he said,"Yeah. We sure did Roxy. Way to go.". Roxy let go as she said,"So what are you going to do with him? I mean he tried to kill me but I feel bad for him.".

Zane soon looked at her as he said,"You're not serious are you? I thought you would be like,"Kill the Phantom Zaney! He ruined my dress and hair!". Your words not mine.". Roxy punched him as she said,"I ain't Hannah Zane. You told me that people becomes Phantoms because of something that's prevented them from living properly right? I guess my ancestors did something to him and I want to make amends.". The Phantom was confused at Roxy's kindness toward him.

Later that night, Annette and Roland stood there with Roxy and Zane in the garden. Zane was holding the lumberjack in its mirror prison as Roland said,"Well done Roxanne, my precious heir. I really did think that this delinquent couldn't do it being that he's from a poor family.". Zane soon clenched his teeth as Annette said,"I guess you can stay here at the party as a reward.". "Thanks." said Zane as he turned to leave. "You're leaving Zaney? This is a really nice party." said Roxy, who pouted.

Zane smiled as he said,"Of course not. I promise Uriel and the others sweets and a man should not go back on his promise when it comes to sweets. I'll be back once I send this guy back home.". He soon walked into a pillar with him saying,"I'll be back for you later.". Roxy giggled as Zane walked away. Annette and Roland looked at each other with a disappointed look. Zane was heading toward the forest with him saying,"Despite her parents being pricks, this wasn't so bad.".

The Phantom began laughing as Zane said,"Why are you laughing? I'm the one who kicked your butt without much effort by the way lumberjack.". "You've been tricked child who is like a brother to Courtney Anderson. You remind me of myself when I was alive." said the Phantom. "So you are related to Courtney aren't you? I mean you do give off that aura that she has." said Zane. "Yes. My name is Norman Anderson but people called me Timber. Let me tell you a story." said Timber.

Zane said,"Go ahead big guy.". "Okay child. About one hundred and fifty years ago, The Gordon and Stars family asked us lumber-folks or normal folks to build them a mansion. The Gordon wanted their mansion on top of the hill that look over Cypress to the east and the Stars wanted their mansion on the west will. Both families promised us a party and it took years of sacrifice and labor through Mother Nature's anger. And what did we get for it?" said Norman.

Zane said,"Let me guess jack and shit.". "Yes! They laughed in our face and told us just because we didn't have money, we shouldn't be allowed in their circles! It made me so mad that I went on a rampage, causing them to fear me for generations to come! However soon after, I died by a great storm and upon uttering my last words, I swore vengeance on them and promised to get my revenge by taking away what their wealth right under their fat noses!" said Norman.

Zane said,"That sucks man. So they knew about this and they used me to handle their problem. Did Roxy know?". "From what I gathered, she seems to be different from her mother and soon to be father. I'm sure that she didn't. In any time, I've never seen a rich person like her. She cares for you a lot friend of Courtney." said Norman. "Do you mind waiting right here? I need to have a word with those two. My name is Zane Alvarez not friend of Courtney." said Zane, as he was gone. 

Back at the party, Roxy was watching her parents talk with a special guest and the guest's grandson was currently giving her a dirty look. The guest is Morton Palmer and his son Brent Palmer. Morton looks to be a couple of years older than Roland with him being a slightly rotund figure. He's wearing a black tuxedo with a green bow tie. He has green eyes, a curly white mustache and fluffy beard, and short white hair. He had a walking cane that looked like a rifle.

His son looked to be tall for his age but still shorter than Zane. He has green eyes and spiky blond hair with him wearing a suit like his grandfather but with a silver bow tie. He seemed to be an athlete being that Roxy saw that several other girls were staring at him but for a different reason than she was. "These two are nothing but trouble." said Roxy. "You're correct about that Ms. Stars. The Palmer family is a problem in this world of ours." said a voice.

Roxy turned to see Drew Collins standing there with her saying,"Mr. Collins? What are you doing here?". She didn't know about Drew being the Gold Commander because Zane didn't tell her or the others about this just yet. "I was forced to come here. You look nice and I'm sure that you're popular at your school." said Drew. "Yeah. It's mainly because I'm rich and pretty. So how do you know them Mr. Collins?" said Roxy, twirling her hair.

Drew sighed as he said,"Lets just say that they look down on people below them and abuse their powers. They have no regards for common decency being that they'll kill a man just because they mouthed off to them. They're rich and they can take away people's rights, making them slaves. They have slaves despite this country finding it illegal.". "Zane ,one of my friends, would despise these two in seconds. He's a big fan of freedom and well, he hates most of the 1%." said Roxy.

Drew raised an eyebrow as he said,"Zane? You speak of this young man like he's more than just a friend.". Roxy blushed as she said,"Well, I like him. He's the first person to like me and not just for my money. He'll fight through an army just to protect my honor.". Brent looked at Roxy with a smile as Annette said,"It seems that your grandson has an interest in my daughter.". "Yes. I think we should set up a date for them or he may like my other daughter." said Roland.

Before Morton could say anything, the entire hall heard,"Gordon! Stars!". The main door opened as Zane stood there. He had a fierce glare in his eyes and was pissed. "We need to talk right now!" said Zane as Roxy ran over to him. Brent was confused on who this guy was and why his potential wife was going over to him. "Zaney, you're back!" said Roxy, hugging Zane. Zane's anger soon left him for a minute but it came right back as he moved Roxy away.

Zane said with him clenching his fists,"I just learned a pretty awful truth and you used me to clean up you and your ancestors's mess! Your ancestors killed Norman and his friends dreams of coming to this stupid party just because they didn't have any god dam money like you scum bags!". Like Brent was doing earlier, Drew was looking at Zane and thinking,"He's interesting. He's yelling at the richest man in this city without any hesitation at all. He's speaking from his heart isn't he?".

Roland walked up to him as he said,"You do know who you're talking to right boy? I'm the host to a party to the most powerful people in the world. Do you honestly think I would have the poor slobs of the world hang out with the best? Your parents must be awful to have raised scum like you and the rest of your family.". Zane clenched both of his fists with Cole saying,"Zane's going to explode! Duck and cover boys!".

Zane took a deep breath with him saying,"When I heard about you sending your daughter to Europe just because she was a fan of Legion Zero, I've planned to do this.". Zane punched Roland in the gut and sent him to the ground, breaking it. Everyone in the room was shocked by this action and the boy's strength. Drew smiled as Roxy looked at Zane with him saying,"I'm sorry Roxy. I like you but I can't stand being in the same god dam room with the FUCKING stain upon our town!".

He was walking toward the door as Roxy said,"Zane! Wait!". Annette slapped her daughter as she said,"Enjoy the rest of the night child. I'll make sure you and your family's life is ruined after this incident.". "You can try that but fuck off you old hag." said Zane, flipping her off as he left. Roxy looked at the door with Roland said after recovering,"If you say his name ever again, I'll send you to the same location as your sister.". Roxy was quiet as Drew shook his head in annoyance.

Zane was currently sitting with the mirror prison on the outskirts of the mansion as Zane said,"I really should do something to get back at those rich snobs but I can't have them hurting Roxy. She's really nice despite her mother being a plastic bitch and her step father being the prime example of why I hate the rich.". "Zane. You should let me go and take my revenge on them. You hate them on the same level as I do." said Norman.

Zane said with a sigh,"I really should but I'm sure you would go overboard and make everyone hate our kind even more. I may want revenge for what they did to you and your pals but causing other and innocent Phantoms to be caught in the crossfire is something that I'm against..". "I understand your reason Zane. How about I make you a deal?" said Norman. "Zane. Think about this. Do you really trust this Phantom? He could be tricking you." said Athena.

Kane said,"Hear him out Zane. We can tell if he's lying so there is no real worry about tricking us.". "Okay. Tell me what you're going to offer me Normal and if I like it, I'll let you go. If you lie, I send you to Dyno's prison and make sure that he gives you the worst torture he can think of. He and I are allies now and well, he's a huger than huge sadistic bastard when it comes to punishing those who break the rules." said Zane.

Norman said,"Zane, release me from this prison. I need to avenge the deaths of my son, my friends, and so many others. The rich have hurt us common folks more than they ever could have imagined. I'll turn them all into wooden statues and cause panic. I won't kill a single one of them. However, I expect some kind of revenge on them.". "We can do that but if you're tricking me, I'll make your eventually prison sentence with Dyno." said Zane.

Norman said with a sigh,"I don't plan on tricking you Zane. You seem like a nice man despite having a temper that rivals the hottest of flames. I'll do that.". Zane soon broke the mirror prison as Norman flew toward the mansion. "Time to avenge my allies!" said Norman, as rain soon broke out of the area. Zane soon ran toward the house and Norman as he said with a smile,"So Kane, what's the plan?". "Time to release the nightmare if you know what I mean." said Kane as Zane smiled.

Back at the party, Roland ringed a glass as it got everyone's attention. "Thank you all for coming and may I say that this party was a success. It's time for a toast! To my family name!" said Roland. The party soon heard laughter as the glass was breaking. "What is that?" said Annette. Norman soon came from the fireplace with him saying,"For years, you rich scum have made the world a darker place and I shall change that tonight!!!!".

He soon fired a beam from his body with a guest turning into a wooden statue. The Phantom soon fired beams as people ran and Drew was grabbed by Razor. "We need to go right now sir. Zero will mostly likely show up. It's a good chance he'll notice you" said Razor. "I understand Razor. I've met an interesting teen and I'll be having a chat with him sooner rather than later." said Drew. The two were soon gone by a twelve star portal when the room's dead animals were coming to life.

The frost door soon opened as Zane ,who was soaked from the rain outside, shocked to see Norman's mischief being that the once stuffed animals were attacking people around them or Norman's beams was turning them into wood. During the chaos, Zane turned intangible in order to get rid of the water that was on. When he reappeared, one of the guests reached out toward him as he said,"Please, help me!".  He was soon turned into a wooden statue.

Zane sighed as he said,"Most people would be scarred for life by seeing this happen in front of them but I'm not. God. I'm growing numb to pain and shit like this.". "I'll only stop my rampage if either a Gordon or Stars open the front gate to allow the rest of society to join in the party and festival nature!" said Norman. He said this being that he wanted to make sure that Zane got the plan being that the Cross-Species knew about this. "I got it. Locate." said Zane.

Roxy was sitting in the secret room as she heard,"Roxy! Where are you?!". She looked up to see Zane with him saying,"You're okay!". He hugged her as Roxy said,"Zane? What are you doing here? You left and you were angry.". "I'm still your date for tonight despite your parents being well scum. The Phantom broke out and he's causing a mess outside. We need to stop him." said Zane. Roxy looked away as Zane said,"What's wrong?". "So do you hate me?" said Roxy.

Zane soon looked at her as she said,"My family and Roland's family are just the worst in the world! I found something out when you left. This room has evidence that could put away both of my parents for their entire life. We've lied, cheated, and I'm part of that blood. I'm scared of my parents because they have the power to hurt you and the people that I care about. I've always been jealous of your family since even without money, you love each other. I'm just a stain on the world just like them.".

Zane kissed her ,to stop her from talking, with him saying,"I'm not going to take back what I said to them earlier. Your parents are a stain but you're not like them. It's never too late to change. I love you Roxanne Lydia Stars. You're beautiful and not scared of fighting dirty. I think Crash learned that the hard way which was hilarious. I've talked with the Phantom and he was a victim of your ancestors. I have the perfect way to get back at them for all of the shit that they've done.".

Zane whispered something into her ears as she said,"Are you sure?". "100%." said Zane, flashing her his signature smile. The two were getting closer as Norman's voice echoed,"All of you shall pay for this injustice!". The two teens ran into the main hall, seeing that everyone was wood and the place looked like a garden. Norman looked over the fireplace with Zane saying,"I know you'll do the right thing.". He kissed her cheek as he ran toward the Phantom. "Zane. Be careful." said Roxy.

Zane grabbed a piece of glass and threw it toward Norman, who phased through it. Norman turned as he said,"Are you sure about this child? I decided to spare you because you're not like them but if you defend them...". "I'm sure woody." said Zane. The Phantom was soon focused on Zane as the teen was dodging his wood beam attacks. "You've all payed for the past's mistakes and now, I shall burn these houses to the ground!" said Norman.

The room was soon on fire as Norman laughed. "Hey fire beard! Over here!" said Roxy. Zane soon smiled as he whispered,"That's my girlfriend.". Roxy stood by the door as she said,"If I let everyone in, you'll turn everyone back to normal right?". "Interesting. Prove yourself by opening the main gate to let those without money see the fancy life for a couple of hours." said Norman as he fired another beam at Zane, who dodged it.

Roxy walked toward the gate level as the ground nearby it opened up. Roxy and Zane turned to see Annette, Roland, and a butler in an underground hatch. "Wow. These rich people are weird." said Sivarth. "Roxanne Lydia Stars! Stop this attempt at childish disobedience now! We can't let those poor slobs see us like this! We're the rich not the poor! Come into the panic room right now. We have food and oxygen to survive a week at the most. We'll eat the butler." said Roland.

Roxy looked at Zane ,who was dodging vines, as she reached for the level. "You dare to disobey for that monster? He probably let him go just because he hates us and everything that we have. He's just jealous of our wealth and power." said Annette. Her mouth was soon covered in a black ,with a hint of crimson red tint, webbing as Zane said,"Just shut up.". "How did I?" thought Zane as he looked at his hands. "Time to make sure that the lumberfolks of Cypress Park get their peace!" said Roxy.

The main gate soon opened as the townsfolk came inside. Norman cheered as he said,"Thank you! I now feel at piece!". The wooden people were soon back to normal as Zane smiled. "You're a good woman Roxy Stars. I'm sure you'll make him happy." said Norman as the Phantom was gone. The teen girl threw a thumbs up to Zane, with the parents glaring at the both of them. The ground soon shook as all of Cypress Park rushed in and enjoyed the party much to Roland's dismay and anger.

Roxy was soon outside with her sipping on some water. "Man, if your parents hate you for this. They are bigger idiots than I thought." said Zane. She turned to see him with a glass of wine as he sat next to her. "Before you ask, I stole it for your parent's cellar. You did a good thing for Norman and I'm sure that he's learned not to judge a book by its cover right?" said Zane. Norman reappeared as he said,"You are correct. Thank you Roxy.".

He bowed as Roxy said,"You don't need to bow to me. So what are you going to do now?". "Go and meet Courtney and tell her about my life. My history was erased so I want to make sure that they know the story of Norman "Timber" Anderson." said Norman. He flew off as Zane said,"So I guess we should go back to the party. I mean we could dance.". "You know how to dance?" said Roxy. "I know a lot of things. Let me show you one thing I'm really great at." said Zane.

The two were about to kiss when the two heard,"Roxanne!". The two saw Annette and Roland with an army of butlers behind them. "That's the most fancy army I've ever seen. So if we were in a animal dimension, I'm sure that they would be penguins." said Kane. Athena groaned as Sivarth said,"And here I thought that Cole was going to be the one to make bad jokes in our team but you proved me wrong.".

Roland said,"Roxanne Lydia Stars! I can't believe that you and that monster are dating and behind our backs as well! You're a disgrace to our name!". Zane was going to say something as Roxy said,"Zane isn't a monster! You and the rest of this family are monsters!". Before Annette could do/say anything to her daughter, Zane stood up. "Thanks for defending little old me Roxy. It's time to get some revenge for Norman like I promised." said Zane.

Zane was in a new form with him being twelve feet tall and quite the interesting one. His body looks to be like a warrior and ogre like. His skin is a dark purple color. His body has faint dark gray spirals over his chest and upper back. His arms and legs are long with them having several organic yet metallic silver devilish spikes coming out of them and his fingers are pointy. He has a chain shackle around his right ankle with it coming attached with an large steel ball and chain.

He's wearing a silver metal cage helmet over his head. The helmet has four horns protruding from the back, front, left, and right of the helmet. It has a natural ring of electricity that looks like a halo. The helmet has a skull like crest on the bottom and top of the helmet. His superhero logo is on the back of the helmet. The cage’s door have seven bars, five of them are in the center of the door with the other two bars going horizontal over the five vertical bars.

The door can open in three different ways. It can either be open from the left, middle, and right very much like a window shade. Zane wears a variation of his costume that exposes his arms and legs. He wears two chains over his chest being that it makes an “X” on the back and front. He has four glowing red eyes ,with black pupils, that stick out from his helmet. "Nightmare Form." said Zane in a deep and demonic voice. "What are you?!" yelled Annette.

Zane ignored her as he said,"Time for you to see justice. Roxy, closed your eyes and don't open them until I tell you too.". Roxy closed her eyes as Zane's helmet's opened up from the middle. "I hope you all ready for my Nightmare Oblivion!" said Zane. Roxy heard a lot of screaming with her thinking,"What is he doing?". "Open your eyes." said Zane as she opened her eyes. She looked to see that her parents and butlers were scared stiff.

Their skins were pale white with all of them mumbling about random stuff ranging from spiders to lawyers. Roxy looked at Zane ,who was out of Nightmare Form, and she said,"What did you do to them? They look so pale.". She walked closer to her mother who screamed loudly upon seeing her and fell to the ground in a fetal position. "Reliving their worst fears. Nightmare Form is good at delivering fear and to be honest, they kinda deserved it Roxy" said Zane, shrugging his shoulders.

Zane soon grabbed Roxy's hand as he said,"Don't worry you pretty little head about it. They'll be fine in a week plus they forget about me being Legion Zero as a added bonus. So do you want to go mess up your parents's favorite room? This is for Norman but it's mainly for me Roxy.". Roxy kissed him as she said,"Yeah. You're my knight in shining armor all right. You do stuff like this but I still like you a lot. Lets go Zaney.". The two were gone.

Back inside, two of the guests were alone in a coat closet. The two took off their clothing, revealing that they were Agent F and Quake who haven't changed. "So are you sure about this? We could get fired without the proper evidence." said Agent Quake. "We'll be fine since our scanners tells that a person in this town will tear the Earth apart. Get ready Agent Quake. We're going to capture and detain the person who would go against humanity." said Agent F.   

Next time,
Who are Agent F and Quake talking about? Will Annette and Roland take revenge on Zane for his actions tonight? What will Drew do with Zane? Will Christina return back? Will Zane discover why he's been shooting webbing from his body or ask about it? This and more next time on Zero!

New Cards/Forms:
Electron Form. This card has a black frame with a battery in the center of the card with several bolts of lightning around the battery. When Zane places this card inside, Zane turns into a living battery.

Osmosis Form. This card has a black frame with a creature standing there and it looks to be absorbing everything around it. When Zane places this card inside, he becomes able to absorb anything.

Nightmare Form. This card has a black frame with a box with evil coming right out of it. When Zane places this card inside, his body changes into something that screams fear. This form is like Pandora Box being that Zane can release the evil of the Omniverse, causing fear upon being released.
