Zero Episode 103 Element Angel and Zero


A/N: This title ,like most of my titles, makes no sense at first but hopefully, the post makes the title more clear. This episode was written right after Edens Zero had been released alongside Chapter 4-12 of Fairy Legion being at the time of written this, we're in the middle of Galuna Island Arc. Zane in that series and Zane in this series are the same character being that the Zane in Fairy Legion tends to swear a lot. This isn't just because I just wanted to be edgy and immature. I hope.

Zane ,in Zero, has a tendency to be rather blunt, rude, and insensitive toward others but he usually has the right intentions in mind. However in the future, he stopped caring about everything. He's focused on Xona who is a criminal of high priority. You may be thinking that I should be talking about that in Fairy Legion but well, Edens Zero is out and I have a lot to talk about with that series in particular.

Since in the story, it's winter. Characters are dressed for winter being that they're wearing more winter appropriate clothing aka boots, gloves, jackets, parkas, sweaters, thermal clothing, vests, etc. This isn't like in Anime where girls wear skirts in winter. I never really got that part of Anime/Manga being that it's either really warm ,even during the winter, in Japan or fanservice. I'm torn on which one it could be. The former is more realistic but the latter is the more strange and interesting answer. 

This episode will hopefully expand on some of the many topics that I've introduce in Zero and done nothing with. I've focused on stuff involving Zane but no one else in his life. A prime example is how Danny's power works. He's able to create machines from his body such as his Phantom Smashers and the reason why he has a drill for his logo is because he wanted to. This is totally my fault because I tend to focus one character or ideas and ignoring everything in process.

I'm trying to make sure that Fairy Legion doesn't suffer from this as well being that I'm keeping most fights that were in Fairy Tail there. Zane will only take over a couple of fights but not major ones. I'll explain what I mean. This episode will be a huge plot dump of some major and minor shit to the story mainly the latter but there will be some major stuff. Some characters are returning post time skip ,aka Episode 81, with several name drops going on.

This episode may not have a lot of fighting but romance. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff being that a good romance can keep me coming back each week. Those stories may be cheesy I'll fully admit that but that keeps me coming back. This episode will have some fighting but it won't be an action packed story. Lets begin with some training and the flashback in this episode will be a noticeable chunk of this part.

Narrator P.O.V.
In the Alvarez family basement, the trio of Allen Newman, Danny Malone, and Kevin Wallace were about to start some training with Zane. Since he's been back, Zane had been tutoring people in their studies or how to use their powers. Despite Danny having some training from the Alliance, the teen still saw himself as weak with everyone disagreeing with him. The three were standing in the winter variations of their outfits.

Cypress Park had a warm winter compared to Minnesota or North Dakota. This means a light amount of snow. Most people wore boots, gloves, hats, jackets, and leggings/tights with boots, gloves, and hats being the least common. Allen is wearing a brown jacket right over his gray long sleeved shirt with a Union Jack at the front, blue jeans with a black belt, and red sneakers. Danny is wearing his light gray hoodie closed up with him wearing his black v-neck t-shirt, red jeans, and gray trainers.

He did get rid of his sunglasses that he once wore. Kevin is wearing a dark green hooded jacket over his dark red 3/4 sleeve ,short sleeve, shirt with a black vest over it and gray tie. He's still wearing tan cargo pants, dark green sneakers, a metal necklace ,which was held up by a black string, and his atom shaped pendant. "So where is Zane? I mean he is usually late for his appointments for tutoring but he does live here right?" said Allen.

Kevin said,"He does Allen and this is because his mother doesn't want him to leave just yet because he is her baby. His kids also don't want him to leave and despite them being very cute they can't stop him either. I think he's out on patrol and it's really busy this time of year.". "Allen. You're still new to Cypress Park so you won't know this but here in Cypress Park, our winter usually brings out all types of criminals." said Danny.

Kevin nodded as he said,"He's right. Black Friday is usually the worst being that the police is always busy until the middle/end of December. Karen is thankful for this because she likes having her dad around for Christmas at the very least.". "At least this holiday season, Zane will be there to protect Cypress Park. I do know that Zane isn't a fan this type of year because of his father. So with his father returning from the Infinite Void, will this year be different?" said Allen.

Kevin said,"Well, Zane does hate the commercialism of the holiday and that probably won't change for a very long time. I have faith that Zane won't be his usually scrooge/Grinch self.". "Yeah plus his kids are really looking forward to it. They're still young so Christmas is like the best time of year to them. It's pretty sweet and endearing." said Danny. "I've go to agree with you on that mate." said Allen.

The three soon heard,"Hey guys. Sorry, I'm late. I was just shoveling a lot of snow because Cryonic made a snowstorm to prevent me from capturing him. He soon caused a massive traffic jam and also several robberies done by his grunts and like before, he escaped. He's escaped me three times now and he's totally ruining my street credit as Legion Zero.". The three soon saw Zane ,in costume, and was covered in snow. "So how's the weather out there Zane?" said Kevin.

Zane soon threw the snow onto him as he said,"Let me show you.". Zane deactivated his costume with him wearing his winter outfit. He switched out his signature sweatshirt/jacket for a winter variation of the sweatshirt that it was also made by Cora of the Alliance. Despite Twilight persistently saying that she would be fine in the cold thanks to Zane's body heat, he still wanted a jacket. It's a black and gray hooded uniform/hanten jacket.

He has white fur on the cuffs and hem of the jacket. It has a black zipper and it has a dark purple snake like creature design on the back of his hoodie. Under his jacket, he wears his burnt orange t-shirt with a silver fiery spiral pattern. He wears black jeans and signature tennis shoes. He's wearing all of his signature accessories but they were hidden by his jacket. The snow soon melted as Kevin soon glared at Zane. "Your decomposition powers are getting better Kevin." said Zane.

Kevin said looking at his hands,"Thanks Zane. It did take some time to master it because well, you have to be in complete control of them to make sure that you don't melt anything you touch. So what are we going to be training today?". "Your limits. I'm not holding back on you because well, I have something important to do today." said Zane. "And that would be what Zane?" said Allen. "Let me guess. Is it related to Sierra?" said Danny.

Allen said,"Sierra? I've heard about her before. She's an friend of yours Zane correct?". "Yeah she is and she's also Hydro Storm's daughter." said Zane. "I could be wrong but Hydro Storm was a hero right? He had his crimes and connections to the Odium Society exposed, forcing him into hiding until he erased his presence from everyone's mind and the world right except from you and Sierra right? I get Sierra but not you." said Kevin. Zane nodded as Danny said,"So what's up with Sierra?".

Zane said,"I won't tell you unless you tell me why you don't like her.". "I honestly didn't know why I don't like her. She always acted better than everyone but well, I was jealous on how close you two were." said Danny. "Yeah. According to Nazar, she has gotten brighter and more social. I haven't seen a picture of her yet but well, Nazar says that she's really blossomed as a woman and person." said Zane. "Zane. We're friends right?" said Kevin. "Yes?" said Zane.

Kevin said,"If she's single, could you let me take her out on a date?". "You can't be serious Kevin. I thought you were smart." said Allen. "And here I thought that you've changed from being a "ladies man"." said Danny. "I have Danny. Trust me, I'm was getting sick of getting beaten up by several girls. Let's be honest here. Zane has incredible luck with women and he has more than one girlfriend with him being a living Harem Protagonist except without him being dense." said Kevin.

Allen said,"Kevin. Both of us have a strong female following being that Danny is seen as the coolest senior and his fangirls love him and Gwen together. It's one of the school's most famous and likable pairings. My following is because I'm the son of an ambassador and well, I would say that I'm quite attractive." said Allen. "Did you guys forget that I have one too? Unlike you guys, mine is because I'm the school's darkness." said Zane.

Kevin said,"I still don't get why people call you that.". "It may be because Zane has a tendency to cause problems from the A-List and for a while, they were seen as good. Zane is a thorn in their side so get it?" said Danny. "Ah. I get it now." said Allen and Kevin in unison. "So are you ladies done talking because I'm going to be be training you till you're crying to your mommies or daddies?" said Zane with him cracking his knuckles. "Yeah! Bring it on Zane!" said the three boys.

Later that day, Zane was listing to his music and he was on the train. He was currently on his way to Arcadia U for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday being that Taylor was already there. "So do you really have to use that much power on them? Gwen was giving you a serious lecture despite Danny telling her that it didn't hurt." said Athena. "He was lying." said Cole. "They want to be stronger plus I barely scratch the surface of my power and you know it Athena." said Zane.

Kane said,"This is a dumb and pointless question but I have to know something. Why did Kevin want to meet with Sierra? He's with Heidi right? Or is he with that Sophie girl? I think she liked him during that whole Daemon problem two years ago. It's been two years since we met Zane.". "Okay. It's weird to hear you talking about romance and old man." said Cole being that he was soon hit by the Vulcorian.

Zane sighed as he said,"Well Kane, Sophie likes him but I've heard that she hasn't said anything to him about their feelings. I'm pretty sure it's because neither of them want to ruin their friendship with him. It's like how Karen was worried about our friendship before we've started to date. Heidi is a story for another time.". "Oh. That makes sense." said Kane. "I'm just happy that you and Karen are together to begin with." said Sivarth.

The Phantom smiled as he said,"Karen's kiss means a lot to you didn't it Zane? I guess that the connection that you two shared is strong.". "Or maybe because Zane didn't expect it at all." said Cole. "I hate to agree with Cole there but he has a point. I've been with you since you were born Zane so this kiss alongside Rain's kiss when you two were Zoey's age. They're some of your most important kisses. I just hope you treat her well Zane or else." said Kane.

Twilight said,"All them of them are correct because if you recall, Karen has a crush on you since your middle school days and despite acting like a dense fool, you liked her back. You also fell for Kristen at the same time of falling for Karen. Your feelings for both girls grew over time and it's just like how you grew from a child who had no control of his power into a man who has complete control of his powers.". "You really need to talk with her after you finish with this Zane." said Athena.

Zane said,"Don't worry Athena. I plan to.". Zane soon looked around to see that no one was playing attention to him, being that they were on their devices. He soon focus his telekinesis to grab a cup of warm, hot chocolate from a nearby food stand. "And why is a hero stealing?" said Cole. "Remember Cole, I'm not the goody two shoes hero because sometimes, I need a good cup of hot chocolate and most shops in Cypress Park make a good one." said Zane.

He soon sipped the cup of hot chocolate with him soon getting a big smile on his face. "What's wrong Zane? I mean you seem worried about something." said Twilight. "Which is totally weird since you're enjoying a nice cup of hot chocolate." said Cole. "It's Jungle Legs. I mean Darth took him over just to get you and he used Bryan's jealously toward me and Allen to power himself. I may not be a goody two shoes hero but I care for everyone in the city." said Zane.

Kane said with a smile,"Wow. That's real mature Zane. I do feel bad a little for Brad but looking at the positives you guys, we got his position on the team being that I get more chances to make humans look stupid.". "At least you're kinda looking at the big picture. Bryan came in contact with a deadly criminal of the Omniverse Kane. Our bonding was the right way Zane but Darth with Bryan, it wasn't. Bryan's mindset wasn't exactly the best at the time." said Twilight.

Zane nodded as Twilight said,"Darth feasted on his jealously toward both Allen and Zane for stealing his girlfriend and being an ass to him respectively but I'm going to guess that it was the latter of the two that fed him the most. We may be friends but it's obvious that you tend to piss people off very easily Zane.". Zane soon sighed as Cole said,"And the winner for asking the most obvious question is Twilight Equinox!".

As Athena slapped him, Twilight soon made a black ,with a crimson red web pattern, tendril go on Zane's fist. "All of us are going to help you do everything on your do-list which is finding out how to free Fallout from Skull Plague. We're a team after all." said Sivarth. "Thanks. So are you excited to see Sierra again or for the first time for most of you guys?" said Zane. "Like Taylor, she worked hard to come join us as heroes. It's shows determination which is admirable." said Athena.

Kane said,"Here's a theoretical question for your guys. If Sierra won instead of Taylor, where would she stay?". "Oh wow. I honestly never thought about it. I mean Sierra doesn't exactly have money." said Zane. "Why not your place? I mean Kurt and Lucius didn't moved out at the time but now, we have room now." said Cole. "That isn't a bad idea Cole at first but we could have to ask Zane's mom first." said Twilight.  

Zane said,"She could say no you guys because I tend to pick up strays too much plus she may want to stay with her mother.". "You're right Zane. You've taken in three dogs and a Ray as well." said Sivarth. "Yeah but thanks to Tara, Ray has his own place. I just have a big heart you guys or would it be Essence." said Zane. "It's honestly either with you. I guess your big heart is one of the reasons how you can make your harem work. You also being a king helps too." said Kane.

Zane said,"Yeah but none of them like me just because I'm not just the king of Terrarune because I'm a hero who always puts others safety over my own.". "Much to the girls, your allies and friends, and family's worry." said Athena. Zane chuckled nervously with Twilight saying,"I know that we can't stop you from being yourself but try to be safe okay? I don't think everyone who cares about you could see our lives without you in it some way.".

Zane said,"Twilight, I figured that out the hard way during prison. I mean if I died, you all would be sad plus Kane would be dead. I promised that I wouldn't be like my dad and leave my kids without a father because I got so many years of teasing in store for them.". "You've always got your priorities straight Zane. I guess you and your dad are doing fine after your fight." said Sivarth. "Yeah. I may be still mad at myself for what happened but I'm just happy to have him back." said Zane.

Zane soon sighed as he said,"However, I do feel bad for wasting Liv and the others's time looking for him.". "You're a really big Essence don't you Zane?" said Cole. "He really does but that's why we like him." said Kane. The group soon heard the train coming toward the station with Zane saying,"I just hope that I can find Sierra because well, I haven't seen her or a picture of her since the whole Malik fiasco two years ago. I can recognize her voice through.". "You'll find her." said Athena.

The train soon stopped in the station as Zane said,"Hey, I wonder if Sierra has changed in terms of physical appearance. I mean we've talked through the phone or messages but that's it.". "Does that really matter Zane?" said Sivarth. "Not at all Sivarth. It's just food for thought." said Zane. "She's probably super ugly Zane. You need to run." said Cole. Athena slapped him as Twilight said,"So does Cole think before he speaks?". "Most of the time, he doesn't." said Zane.

Zane and several people left the train with him soon picking an person out for the ground thanks to her warm smile and her looks but mainly the former. She's a very beautiful young woman with her looking like an angel. She has fair skin. She’s 5 foot 8. She has a serious expression, being that she gives off an impression that she’s indifferent to people and things around her but her smile looks warm and inviting. Her figure is athletic yet voluptuous body aka slender thighs and large breasts.

She has an hourglass figure with a prominent chest, making most girls around her jealous. Her nose is long, thin, and well defined with a thin scar running across it being that she got it from a fight or something else. She has long limbs ,mainly shown with her legs and well defined, that works well for her. She has green hair up to her shoulders being wavy, shiny, and graced by the gods. The front of her hair has two long bangs going to her shoulders.

Several loose bangs hanged right about her forehead. She had her hair in a ponytail which was held in place by a halo themed hair clip. She has brown eyes. She's currently wearing the Arcadia U uniform which is a dark blue blazer with a vermilion bow, white blouse, a matching dark blue skirt that goes past the knees, black tights, and black short boots mainly because of the weather. Much to Zane's shock, she was walking toward him.

Zane was drooling for a bit upon seeing her being that Twilight soon made a small tendril slap him which knocked him out of the stupor. "You may want to stop that Zane because you'll be slapped by me, Twilight, and this girl at the exact same time." said Athena with her sounding serious. Zane shook his head with the girl stood in front of him. "So are you happy to see me Zane?" said the girl. "Sierra is that you?" said Zane, recognizing the voice of the girl.

Sierra hugged him as Zane's face blushed. "It's been way too long since I've last seen you. I mean the last time we really saw each other was when your identity was taken over by your evil self and you went crazy." said Sierra. She let go as she said,"Now lets go. We don't have a lot of time to spend with each other.". "Okay Sierra but I need to say something first." said Zane. Sierra tilted her head as Zane said,"Sierra. You've really become a beautiful woman.".

Upon hearing this, Sierra's face soon turned red. Her heart was beating faster than normal as her body soon erupted in fire. Zane soon looked worried as he said,"Did I do something wrong?". He was very much thankful that they were the only two in the station. "Don't worry you smooth talker. We disabled the cameras when the train arrived and everyone was already gone. We foresaw you doing something like this." said Cole.

Athena said,"You are very predictable Zane. Thanks to Conner, you've become a ladies man.". "Yeah but at least, he isn't a dense idiot." said Kane. "Quite. I found that dense act you did to be quite annoying. Thank the gods that you're in love finally Zane." said Sivarth. "So did this happen in the past Zane?" said Twilight. "No idea but lets see if she calms down." said Zane. He soon watched Sierra calm herself down. This isn't the first time that has happened.

Flashback Narrator P.O.V.
Lets go back one year from the present day being that it had been about a year since Zane left for his training for the Plocylst Archipelago. The duo of Cindy Hale aka Meta Shift and Darren Spencer aka Discharge was talking. There will be a quick reminder of how they look like if you've forgotten and for a good chunk of this flashback shows how most of the characters are going to appear in the main story when they appear.

Cindy has long blond hair being that it once went down to her waist but she had it cut to her chin with her having a pink hair clip that held back her bangs from her pinkish blue eyes. Her skin is pinkish with freckles on her face. She has a slender yet toned build with some curves. In her right ear, she has a gold star earring. She's wearing the school uniform except she's wearing white stockings and black dress shoes.

Darren had naturally spiky bright yellow hair and green eyes. He's wearing the Arcadia U's male uniform being that it's a dark blue jacket without the vermilion tie, plain dacron brown/black/gray jeans, and dark yellow sneakers. His chest is shown with a muscular, toned chest. Cindy is now 5 foot 6 and Darren is 5 foot 9. "Darren. Why did you ask me to walk with you of all people? You usually walk by yourself." said Cindy, poking Darren causing electrical sparks to come off his body.

Darren rolled his eyes as he said,"You do know that I sometimes go to school with either Erik or Nazar right?". Cindy giggled as she said,"You do know that I'm just teasing you right?". "I know but I just wanted to hang out with you because I have a question for you." said Darren. "And what's your question?" said Cindy, very curious about one of the strongest members of the class. He was very much up there being that excluding Zane, Darren was top 5.

He had a bright future as a hero according to Trevor giving his ability to adapt his electrical powers to handle big to small foes."I know that you can shape your body into anything. This was mainly shown in the training class but what about people? I mean if you can, you would be just perfect for any kind of infiltration." said Darren. Cindy was impressed that Darren had noticed her at all being that he's usually so focused on training himself.

Cindy said,"I can Darren being that it's a almost flawless copy. I just need a picture of them to copy the target. However, I can't mimic their powers or personality.". "I see." said Darren. "So why do you ask?" said Cindy. "Well, I know that I shouldn't be listening to one of Harry's idea but I need to prove something to the rest of you so I'm borrowing his idea." said Darren. He whispered something into her ear as she smiled. "Okay but if she hurts us, I blame you." said Cindy.

In their classroom, Sierra was sitting there and alone to her thoughts. It had been a year since Zane had left being that her and Taylor were the most effected by his disappearance. The rest of the class did like Zane being that he was a good example of a hero to them plus a good person to be around but Sierra Ozaki felt something strong for him.  Sierra's feeling was something else being that this was all new to her.

Before meeting Zane and the rest of her friends, she was on the run of her father who didn't want her to meet her birth mother. She soon respected him for what he did for her despite only knowing her for maybe a few hours. This respect turned into love but she didn't know that. Everyone else knew that but her since she didn't know what love was at all. She looked the same as she does in 2019 but an inch shorter.

The young woman was soon shaken out of her thoughts upon the door to the classroom opening right up. Darren walked in as he said,"There you are Sierra.". "Darren. Is something wrong? I thought you were going to walk with Cindy to school today being that Alice went overboard." said Sierra. "I just want to conform something for Cindy." said Darren. Sierra was so confused by Darren's statement as Darren said,"You can come in now.".

The element girl was soon shocked to see Zane standing there. He's wearing the male uniform like Danny is wearing but with the vermilion tie. He also looked how he did in 2017. "Hey Sierra. It's so nice to see you and wow, you're so beautiful now." said Zane. Sierra's heart soon started to beat faster than it normally did with her face turning red. Much to the shock of the boys, Sierra's body erupted in air, fire, ice, and water. "Sierra!" said Darren and Zane with the later turning back into Cindy.

Later that day, Sierra and Taylor were eating being that Taylor looked to be the same as she does in 2019 except being a inch shorter. She's wearing the uniform except with normal black socks that cover her ankles. These two were very popular among the student body being that they were both very powerful heroines and also beauties being that the latter fans are guys and the former fans are girls. They were called the two goddess of the school.

Sierra was just staring at her meal being that it was Ramen being that her mother helped her discover food from her homeland. Taylor was eating a steak. These two are good friends. Taylor looked up at her friend as Sierra sighed. "Are you alright Sierra? You kinda blew up earlier. You usually have great power control." said Taylor. Sierra remembering this morning being that she had a faint blush on her face.

Despite Cindy and Darren ,with the latter covered in burns from trying to stop Sierra, saying sorry, it was made clear to everyone that Sierra had very strong feelings for Zane and that Darren was right due to everyone saying that Sierra respected Zane not like. For example, people thought that Heidi liked Zane but it was out of respect. However, this situation is the reverse of that. "Yeah. I just have something on my mind." said Sierra.

Taylor said,"Is something really important and private?". "Not really Taylor." said Sierra. 'Do you want to talk about it Sierra?" said Taylor. "Um sure. As you already know by now, I lost control of my powers. This hasn't happen in a long time being the last time was when I fought against Zane a year ago. When I saw Cindy as Zane, I lost control. I don't know why that is and well, this isn't the first time." said Sierra.

Taylor tilted her head as Sierra said,"Even though Zane is gone, I still think about him. I remember that my homework and textbooks were burned and soaked when we were studying with each other before he left. It also happened during training, I was fighting against Alice, Nazar, and Teresa with the fight reminding me of Zane. Every time I think of him, my heart beats faster than it does when I'm filled with adrenaline.". Taylor sighed as she said,"I guess Darren was right.".     

She soon looked at her friend ,who was confused, as Taylor said,"You have a crush on Zane.". "A crush? I couldn't obliterate him." said Sierra. Before Taylor could correct her friend, the duo of Alice and Felicia joined their conversation. Alice has rather unruly chin length pink hair ,being that it was dyed, and yellow eyes. Her skin is peach colored. She's rather cute with her being popular for her personality. She's now 5 foot 3 with a cute build to her.

She's also wearing the school's uniform. Felicia is currently in a mixture of her avian and human guise. Out of her school uniform, she had her large, orange wings out behind her. Her skin is tan with a couple of orange feathers covering her body. She has long brown hair ,which goes a little bit past her shoulders and has red streaks, and green avian like eyes. She's 5 foot 7 being that she has a rather slim build. "No freaking way! You really have a crush on Zane!" said Felicia. "Felicia?!" said Taylor.

Sierra said,"So do you two know what a crush is? I'm pretty sure that it isn't beating the crap out of something.". "She's serious isn't she?" thought Alice, Felicia, and Taylor. Alice recovered from this shock as she said,"Felicia! Time to begin Operation Blackout Apricot Cruiser!". Felicia was holding her phone as she said,"I'm already on when we learned about how dense Sierra is!". Before Sierra could ask what this meant, Taylor stopped her.

Taylor said,"While I may agree on Sierra being dense, is Operation Blackout Apricot Cruiser really needed? It's a rather extreme plan.". Alice soon pointed to Sierra being that Sierra was eating. "You have a fair point." said Taylor. In a few minutes, the quartet of Krystal, Lynette, Sonya, and oddly Vega standing there. Krystal is the same being that she grows 1 and a half inch being 5 foot 4. She still has her long ,up to her waist, brown hair with blue eyes with a slightly curvy figure.

Lynette's figure is slender being that she's now one of the taller females which results in her being slightly less curvy being that this doesn't bother her too much. Her height is 5 foot 6. Her long orange hair is now shorter being that it went up to her chin and she's wearing her salmon pink wool knit cap over it. She has olive green eyes. Sonya's skin is still white being that it doesn't look pale and looks more like her older brother but not that much tan.

Her red hair is longer being that she has noticeable bangs and green eyes. Her black beetle shaped birthmark is still there. She's wearing blue lipstick. She's wearing the school uniform being that she asked to wear her sleek black cargo pants instead of a skirt. The school was okay with it. She wears her black fingerless gloves. She's now 5 foot 5. Vega is the same guy being that his playing for the other team is well known being that most girls considered him to be a great a big sister figure.

This is slightly strange being a proud male and one of the strongest students in the class. He's now 5 foot 9. He's an African American and a quarter French. He's well muscled and he has brown eyes with his black hair going up to his shoulders. He's wearing the male uniform being that his sleeves were rolled up. "So who is the target Felicia? We got the message." said Sonya. "Yeah. We're ready to being the operation for sure." said Vega.

Alice pointed to Sierra with her saying,"It's our resident element mistress being that she has a crush on her classmate. She needs serious help with it.". "You still haven't told me what a crush is." said Sierra. "Is this operation about Sierra's obvious crush on Zane? It's real sad that it took the class matchmaker this long to figure it out." said Lynette. "How did you know about it Lynette?!" said Alice. "I'm a telepath being that no secrets are safe from me." said Lynette, smirking.

Krystal soon turned to see Maria and Tomas standing there being that she was sitting with them and Sonya until she and Sonya got the message which the two left in a rush. Maria grew to be 5 foot 3.5 being that her fit physique and a round chest, her messy yet wavy brown hair, gray eyes, and pale white skin are still the same as it was two years old. She's wearing the uniform with her wearing her signature goggle-like glasses that were on her forehead.

Tomas did grow three inches with him being 5 foot 8. He's also slightly more muscular than before. His black hair is slightly longer than it was a year ago. It still has that buzzcut style to it. He's wearing his hockey stick necklace over his uniform. "What are you two doing here?!" said Krystal. "Did you two seriously think when you two ran off, we wouldn't come check on you." said Tomas, crossing his arms. "Nope! We're fine!" said Krystal.

Krystal looked away as she said,"We rushed off because....". "We were coming up with a super hero combo that I came up that!" said Alice. "Yeah!" said Krystal. "It's going to be really cool!" said Alice with Tomas nodding. "That makes sense because we're always around each together, when we're working with the Alliance, and being heroes." said Tomas. Maria was silent being that she had an clearly idea about what was going on and she smiled.

Taylor said,"Tomas has a good point being that all of us are very close and mostly likely going to work together so preparing for these events is a good thing.". "Preach it sister. How about we work on combos being that who knows when Torpedo is going to pair us?" said Sonya. "That sounds like so much fun!" said Felicia. "I hope to be paired up with Darren or Nazar. Those two are very strong and with my powers as support, we'll make a great team." said Vega.

Sierra was getting up and going to head back to class but she turned back around to her friends who  have a tendency to overwhelm them at times. She soon walked right toward Maria being that she was good friends with the smart yet slightly psychotic girl. "Hey Maria. So do you happen to know what a crush is? Everyone is making a big deal about it." said Sierra. Maria thought about it and she said,"To be honest, I haven't had a crush with a human yet but I have my gadgets.".

She took a deep breath as she said,"I can explain it to you though. A crush is when you have romantic feelings for someone being that whenever you see or think of them, your heart starts to pound faster than normal. You can see yourself with them for the rest of time and wanting to be with them. That's a crush in very basic terms.". During this little speech, Sierra's face was red. "Oh. I guess that I do have a crush on him then." said Sierra as everyone looked at her.

The bell soon ringed as Sierra said,"Oh. I guess it's time for class. Later you guys. I hope we have some powerful combos so we can "crush" Zane when he gets back.". She giggled as she said,"I know my jokes are rather bad but Zane's jokes are much worse. We can agree to that. Thanks Maria. You're a good friend.". "Yep. I'm very happy to help you out." said Maria. Sierra soon walked back to the classroom with her whistling a tune with the class being shocked at Sierra's actions. 

Narrator P.O.V.
In the lounge area, Zane was sitting there being in a shocked state. Thanks to his emotion reading abilities, he figured out about Sierra's ,not so secret, crush on him. She also told him that right after she calmed down. He had taken off his coat upon entering the building. "I still can't believe that she likes me. I mean I know that I saved her from her abusive father but still, why does this keep happening to me? I mean she's hot but....." said Zane.

Nearby him and peaking from the doorway, the duo of Darren and Erik were looking at their friend in jealously and worry. At this point, everyone is wearing the same casual outfit that characters wore in Zero Shorts Episode 5 being that this episode has a lot of elements from it. Erik had a serious growth shirt being that he grew up to 5 foot 8 with him losing some of his hyperactivity. His red hair has lost its spiky being that he doesn't need to prove how tall he is anymore. The ends of it were spiked.

His build and eyes are still the same. "I know that it's been a long time since most of us saw him but he's been in that state since we met up for lunch. What the hell happened to him?" said Erik. "No clue but he's starting to freak me out with this side of him." said Darren. The two soon got their answer from the best friend of the class Nazar who had just gotten back from the gym that was on campus as well. He's now 5 foot 10 being one of the tallest in the class.

He still has short and spiky blue/purple hair and warm brown eyes. He also looked to be the same with him having an impressive physique and muscular figure but still looks rather slim. "Well you guys according to our resident psychic, Sierra told Zane about her liking him a lot. This was just after she had an eruption at the train station. I'm not a betting man but I'm going to guess that our pal Zane here is recovering from said confession." said Nazar.

Darren nodded with him saying,"Okay. That actually makes sense. To be honest, I always kinda forget how blunt Sierra can be at times. We should try to get him back to normal. I rather not deal with Zombie Zane. I mean we all look up to him being that he's a source of confidence.". The two boys agreed with him with Erik saying,"So what are we going to do?". "I got the perfect idea so just watch and learn!" said Nazar.

Back with Zane, he was having a conversation with himself. "I'm really happy that she likes me but will she mind sharing me with the others? I mean I'm in a harem. Those things never happen over here but since I'm a king, it isn't weird right?" said Zane. "Somewhat but I'm sure that you'll figure it out. Previous Zeroes didn't go nuts about this but something else." said Sivarth. "Thanks for the words of confidence Sivarth." said Zane with a sigh.

During this, Darren and Nazar sneaked behind Zane. "Hey Zane! Welcome back!" yelled the two as this action caused Zane to clutch his ears. Crisis Judgement soon went off as Zane jumped into the air, avoiding a tackle by the duo. This caused the couch that Zane was sitting on to tip over as Erik said,"Wow. Did you guys seriously forget how good Zane's senses are? I mean even with that sonic attack of yours, he made you both look stupid.".

Zane shook off the ringing in his ears as he said,"So why in the Nine Realms did you guys do that? I mean you could have just gotten my attention the normal way.". "We would have man but you were lost in your own world and I highly doubt the normal way would work." said Nazar. "Yeah. I was just thinking about something important." said Zane. "We know that Sierra confessing her undying love to you so we're here to help you out." said Darren.

Nazar then put his arm around Zane as he said,"Yeah man! You've helped us a bunch in the past so it's time for us to repay the favor! It's the right and manly thing to do bro!". Zane's face soon erupted in a huge blush as he said,"Seriously guys?! Does news like this travel fast around here?!". "If we don't a psychic, news like this would go a snail's pace or Erik when he's really tired but that's like never a thing." said Nazar, with Erik nodding.

Zane said,"Well, I appreciate the help but my situation is really complicated. I'm happy that she likes me but will she..." . Darren put his finger on Zane's lips as he said,"Don't think like that man! You're Legion Zero not a maiden in love! Act like a man!  You're the hero who never gives up being that you went through hell just to stop your evil self so don't be such a coward about love! Okay men! Time to begin Operation Help Zane get with Sierra!".

Before Zane could say something, the duo of Erik and Nazar soon grabbed Zane's arms with them saying,"Yes sir!". "Wait you guys. I can walk on my own two feet." said Zane. He was being dragged away by the trio as Kane was laughing at Zane being dragged away by his friends. "Shouldn't we try and help him?" said Twilight. "I mean we could do that but this is too funny." said Kane, wiping away a tear.

Meanwhile, Alice was yelling at Sierra being that the girl soon learned about the harem situation from Taylor. "Sierra! You just saw him after two years of not seeing him and you tell him that! Did your brain get flash fired or frozen?! Either or works! And what kinda of strange as hell love affair did Zane get himself into?!" yelled Alice. In Alice's room, the two girls ,getting yelled at, were sitting there ,slightly scared of Alice right now, in their casual clothing as Sierra had a new one.

Sierra is wearing a dark green leather military jacket and under that, she wears a periwinkle blouse crop-top with a red lace rose pattern, a V-neck, and it exposed her stomach, blue jeans that go down to her calves, a brown belt with four gold ovals like ornaments on them, and her signature thigh high high-heeled brown boots. She wears gold earrings that are in the shape crescent moon, gold arm band around her left arm with violet ribbon strings attached to it, and a modest pearl necklace to her.

Felicia said trying to calm her friend down,"In their defense, Zane turned out to a real hunk in or out of costume. The two were in the heat of the moment.". "I know that but it's so frustrating how crazy this situation is!" said Alice, calming down a bit. "I'm lost. How is Zane in a harem with seven girls and did I do something wrong? You girls have told me to tell him how I feel during my calls and chats." said Sierra. The rest of the girls in the class was there as well.

This included Ivory, Teresa, and Wanda. Ivory grew two inches with her still being a cold, but nice girl. Her skin is still pale given her powers, medium length brown hair, and icy blue eyes. She's also slightly more muscular but still looked to be a normal teenager girl. Teresa also grew to be 5 foot 7 with her being that she looked the same as she did two years ago but just older. Wanda is now 5 foot 6 being that her blonde hair is now up to her shoulders.

Wanda placed a hand on Sierra's shoulder as she said,"Ignoring the major bombshell delivered to us by Taylor, you were rather blunt to Zane. All of us are pretty much used to it by now but I'm sure that Zane gets confessed to a lot in or of costume and they aren't as blunt.". "You have a point there. My home life wasn't exact the best. Zane was the first good thing in my life. He saved me from my father and well, brought me here to my family." said Sierra, looking away with a faint blush.

The eleven other girls were looking at her as they all thought,"She's like a naive princess and Zane is her knight! So freaking romantic!". Zane ,from somewhere nearby, sneezed with the three boys that he was with were confused. Ivory sighed as he said,"Well, I guess we have to help you out now since that story was romantic.". "We'll get you into the harem with Zane in no time plus Zane is going to be here for a while and hopefully, not get sick." said Teresa.

Alice and Felicia agreed with the magma/lava woman. The element girl looked at her friends as she smiled. "Thanks you guys. I owe you and hopefully, sharing Zane is easy." said Sierra. A few minutes later, the matchmaker duo of Alice and Felicia stood in front of a portable whiteboard that Maria had in her room. The whiteboard had,"Plans for Operation B.A.C. and also getting Karo together." written on it with both Alice and Felicia having sunglasses.

Alice said,"Okay there ladies, lets begin the operation and we can't let the boys know about it mainly  Zane.". "Except for Vega. He's good. Any questions?" said Felicia. "Yes. What is Karo, why do you have a chalkboard in your room Maria, and the sunglasses." said Sierra. "Ignoring that. Anyone got any ideas? And is Agent Portal on standby?" said Alice.  To answer Sierra's questions, Karo is Karma and Legion Zero, the sunglasses were brought, and the chalkboard is to write down her inventions.

Taylor raised her hand as Felicia said,"Amazon has the floor!". "How about for their date, they just hang out around Cypress Park. Zane really likes to hang out with his friends much more than fancy dinners." said Taylor. "And maybe go see that new movie that's based off that soap opera that Zane likes. It's Love that Transcends Space and Time right?" said Teresa. Taylor nodded as she said,"It's kinda cheesy and by kinda, I mean really. He for some reason loves it a lot.". 

Sonya crossed her arms as she said,"Honestly, I have no idea. Lets ask the guys since well, Nazar can read anyone even the private Ivory.". "Don't worry girls. Nazar already knows since I told him when I found this out." said Lynette. "So do you think he'll drag Darren and Erik into it? Those three are the Three Stooges. They'll make it worse." said Cindy. On the whiteboard, it had several ideas as Alice said with a smile,"Don't worry. Nazar has never let me down so has anything jumped at you....".

Sierra was gone with the door wide open. Alice soon erupted in anger as she yelled,"Dam it Sierra! I can't believe she would do something like this! I hope she doesn't do anything really stupid!". "What could she possibly do?" said Maria. Someone knocked on Harry's door being that out of everyone in the past two years, he changed the most being that he's still a pervert but he's more infamous for his explosive power and anger problem. He's one of the strongest in the class.

He's now 5 foot 10 being that his brown hair is slightly longer and it looks like an explosion hit it. His blonde streaks were more apparent and his brown eyes had a faint but noticeable red tint. "What did you want? I'm trying to sleep." said Harry. Sierra stood there as she said,"I need some advice.". "Here is my answer to it." said Harry, closing the door. He soon moved back from a giant water wall. "Are you fucking crazy or what?! I hate when you get the room wet." said Harry.

Sierra said,"Look Harry. I need your help in asking Zane on a date. Despite you being a pervert with a temper, you know what a good date is. I know that you're a closet romantic. Just give me some help please.". Harry was going to blow up the water being that he soon made a tch sound. He knew that if he blew up the water, it would get everywhere. "Okay. You get five minutes Sierra but that's it!" said Harry. "Thank you Harry." said Sierra.

As Sierra entered the room, Harry's voice was heard and saying,"And don't tell me a soul about what you told me!". Harry heard about what happened from word of mouth but he was thankful to hear her side of the story being that he didn't get a chance to talk with Zane yet. After hearing her side of the story, Harry was quiet. His temper soon rose as an explosion blasted Sierra back. Sierra knew that Harry was pissed which lately, it was easy to do.

Harry soon ranted,"What the hell is going on here?! I know that Zane must be used to girls ,young and old, confessing to him on a daily fucking basis. I applaud you for being blunt about it because most girls are coy about it and it's so fucking annoying. I'm sure you're well aware of this but you're very pretty. Any man ,regardless of how powerful they are, would be shocked if someone like you confessed to you. He's mostly like in shock.".

The girl soon in a chair as she said,"So are you mad at me? I mean Alice was more obvious about her anger toward me but you're being rather aggressive.". Harry's eyes twitched as he said,"How can you be so stupid? You're the second strongest in the class but you're acting like an idiot.". He soon sat down on his bed with him clenching his fists. "Okay then. What should I do? I'm honestly lost here and I need your help." said Sierra.

Harry said,"Okay. I really think you need to be honest with him. The girls in our class or online will tell you to be like those cheesy romantic bull shit but that isn't how reality works. Honesty is the best policy. Got it?". "Wow. You're really mature sometimes." said Sierra. "Screw you!" yelled Harry. "So I need to be direct and honest with him. I got that but..." said Sierra. "Sorry but you have to leave right now." said Harry, looking at his arm.

Sierra said,"Why are you looking at your arm? You're not wearing a watch to begin with.". "Your time with me is up Sierra so get out. I don't allow for extensions." said Harry. Sierra stood up as she said,"We did have a deal and I don't want to be a bother to you. I'll be gone.". She had her hand on the doorknob as she stopped herself from opening it. "Hey Harry. One last question for you." said the girl. "What?!" said Harry, wanting to go asleep and not deal with this.

Sierra sighed as she said,"Honestly, do you think I have a chance with Zane? I mean you know who my father is. I'm not even that attractive. Taylor is also more womanly than me.". Harry sighed as he said,"You're a fucking idiot Sierra.". "Okay. I'll leave. Just wanted to ask." said Sierra. She was soon stopped by Harry who said,"Hold the phone Sierra. You should be more confident. You're a powerful woman and I doubt Zane gives a fucking shit about who you are.".

Sierra was shocked as Harry said,"I may not know Zane like you do but he's one nice fucking guy. He forgave the man who burned away his arm and his god dam heart! You're a beautiful woman and no sane man would reject you! Don't compare yourself to anyone got it?!". Sierra hugged him as she said,"I guess you're a nice guy under all that explosions.". "Get out now!" said Harry with his face red from the hug and compliment. Sierra smiled as she left the room.

As the door closed, Harry said,"Finally. I can go to sleep.". The door soon opened as Nazar stood there. "Hey man! Guess what!" said Nazar. "God dam it!" yelled Harry. Nazar ran up to him as Harry said,"You know I like to go asleep around this time so this better be important!". "Well, the guys and I are trying to help Zane and Sierra become a thing. So do you want in on the plan?" said Nazar, with puppydog eyes. "No thanks." said Harry.

Nazar soon clapped his hands together as he said,"Please help us Harry! We need your expertise with the ladies!". "God dam. He can be so annoying but he is persistent. If I do this, I can get some sleep so lets get this over with." thought Harry. "Fine." said Harry. "Yes! You're a good guy!" said Nazar with a smile. "If this is a waste of my time, I'm going to murder you!" said Harry with Nazar chuckling. "Don't worry. I'm sure that this will be fun and worth it!" said Nazar with a smile.

Meanwhile with Zane, the teen said,"Sierra! You're a really awesome girl so would you go out with me and join my harem?!". Darren stood behind him ,with a hand on his hip, as he said,"So I'm going to guess that most girls have confessed to you and not the other way around. And also don't gloat about your god dam harem man.". "Yeah. It's usually weird for me because most women who like me are rather bold in confessing. I do like the mannequin you made." said Zane.

The trio of Darren, Erik, and Zane were outside with a Sierra mannequin which looked to be the real deal. The duo of Darren and Erik were standing nearby the mannequin with the former putting his hands on its shoulder and the latter putting his ears over the mannequin's ears. "Zane! I never expected you to be so rude to Sierra Stand-in! She isn't a mannequin! Say you're sorry." said Erik with Darren comforting the mannequin. "Sorry I guess." said Zane. "Hey you guys!" said Nazar's voice.

The trio turned to see Nazar and Harry walking toward them as Nazar said,"Look who I brought.". "I can't believe you actually did it man." said Erik. "Don't doubt the master of convincing people." said Nazar. "Let me guess, you begged." said Darren. "Hey Harry! Good to see you man." said Zane. "Why the hell are you sure a goddamn coward about this?! It's pissing me off!" yelled Harry with explosions going off around him.

Zane held his hands up as he said,"In my defense, I'm not the one who usually confess to someone! It's usually the other way around! So why are you here?". "Well, you may not know this Zane. Harry here is still a pervert but he's really strong and well, he's super smart at this shit! Lets retire Sierra Stand-in and come with a different plan." said Nazar. There was soon an explosion, being that Nazar protected Zane from the explosion.

His skin was hardened up like diamond being that Zane said,"You know that I can easily protect the both of us right? And you've gotten stronger Harry. That explosion was very powerful.". "Nah man. I can survive against the more violent explosions so this is nothing. Thanks for the offer anyway. Harry is a really nice guy once you get past the explosions but he needs his sleep." said Nazar as he soon stretched.

Zane said,"Okay then. Lets just keep using Sierra Stand-in and let Harry get some sleep. I wanted to challenge him tomorrow.". "Nah man! I really like this idea because we can use an extra wig to make him fit the part." said Darren. "You can change people's gender right man?" said Erik. "No way! I'm going with Zane's idea. I've been itching for a fight with the supposed god here and see where I stack up against him." said Harry.

Harry was about to storm off as he was grabbed by Nazar who was shirtless. "Come on man! Help me out." said Nazar. "No thanks! I'm out of here!" said Harry. "Please? I'll let you go all out when we got out to do our training." said Nazar. Harry sighed as he said,"Fine. Just don't make me a bimbo or else.". "Sweet! Well, use your magic Zaney!" said Nazar with a smile. "Nope. I don't need the wig or gender change." said Zane. Harry was thankful for that.

Zane soon said with a deep breath and looking at the mannequin,"Sierra. You're an amazing girl being that I never expected to meet a girl like you in my life. Like most of the women in my life, you're very beautiful and strong. You may be the fourth strongest since my mom and both grandmas can be total monsters when angered. When we first met, I saw you as a person that needed to be saved from your bastard father which I totally did by the way.".

He took a deep breath as he said,"Well, you're nothing like that scum because you're making your mother proud every day by becoming a hero! Your humor be dry and cold but well, I'm not a judge of good humor. However, I'm sure that you'll make a great hero! I just wanted to say that before I ask you a single question and please be completely honest with me.". The trio of Darren, Erik, and Nazar watched with excitement being that Nazar was jumping up and down like crazy.

Darren said,"This is going to be sweet.". Thanks to his phone, he was recording Zane's confession for Alice and Felicia. "This is totally an awesome confession." said Erik. "So will you be my girlfriend Sierra Natalia Ozaki?!" said Zane with him bowing. Harry stood there as he said,"Okay. You'll be just fine.". "No explosions? I'm very much shocked." said Erik. The explosion teen soon went after the speedster with the other three just watched.

Back inside, Tomas was reading in the lounge as he heard,"Hey Tomas! Are you busy?!". The teen soon closed his book and turned to see Felicia heading toward him. "Not really Felicia. So what's up with you?" said Tomas. "Have you seen Sierra lately?" said Felicia. "Well, I was hanging out with Buster and Vega when she showed up. We were in the lounge room. She was asking about dating and me and Buster were confused until Vega explained what's going on in his usual fashion." said Tomas.

Felicia looked starstruck as she said,"She asked about dating advice?! What did you guys say? And I really mean Buster and Vega!". "Thanks for the support Felicia. Anyway, Buster just told her that the two of them should hang out and let things happen naturally. We both thought that we should let fate be their guide not some one else." said Tomas. "You two are so sweet! Well, I have to go! Tell Sierra to go find Alice before she kills her!" said Felicia. "Will do." said Tomas. She was soon gone.

Outside, Alice found the trio of Darren, Erik, and Nazar being that they looked like they just went a few rounds with Harry in a bad mood. "Wow! You guys look like crap!" said Alice. "Please be quiet Alice. My ears are still ringing." said Nazar. "Our resident nice guy thought to involve Harry and right now, he's fiery. We tried to stop him and Zane but well, they started to fight." said Darren. Erik held Sierra Stand-in being that she was pretty much broken as Alice looked confused.

Erik said,"Well our plan was to have Zane practice with Sierra Stand-In being that it wasn't working so Nazar decided to get Harry. Zane did this awesome confession speech but well, the two were now fighting.". "Check it out! It's super romantic." said Darren, showing the girl his phone. "Sweet! Thank you so much technology." said Alice. "He may have been dense in the past before but god dam, that's has changed by so much." said Darren.         

Alice said,"Hold on. You said that those two were fighting? Did you guys really think that would be a good idea?". "Honestly, their fight is so manly and I was totally expecting Sierra to show up during the confession. It would have been even more manly! Well after Zane knocked out Harry with that huge avatar thing of his, he took Harry to the nurse office." said Nazar. Alice tightened the bandages on Darren being that the guy was in even more pain. "Idiots!" said Alice. "Please stop!" said Darren.

Alice sighed as she said,"As much I love a good romance, Sierra isn't used to this type of romantic drama.". "Is that a bad thing?" said a voice. "I'll explain why in a minute Sierra." said Alice. She was about to lecture the boys before she turned around to see Sierra. "Sup." said Sierra. "Why are you here now?!" said Alice, Darren, Erik, and Nazar in unison. "Jinx!" said Nazar. The other three soon hit him, causing more pain as Alice said,"Where have you been?".

Sierra soon shrugged as she said,"Around the dorms.". "And how long have you been outside?" said Darren. "For ten minutes now. I talked with Barren, Tomas, and Vega before coming out here. The explosions got my attention." said Sierra. Alice soon hugged Sierra with her saying,"I was so worried that you were going to do something stupid like they did!". "I'm sorry. I went with Sonya's advice. I really should have told you about what I was doing." said Sierra. "And that was?" said Alice.

Sierra said,"Ask the guys. We may only have seven guys not counting Zane. I got some good advice from them.". "Next time, tell the group before going off on your own." said Alice, putting her hands on her hips. "So don't do something like those three?" said Sierra. "So how much did you see of our little show?" said Nazar. "About all of it. Zane's practice confession stunned me being that I couldn't move at all." said Sierra with a noticeable blush. "Seriously?! You heard all of that?!" said Darren.

Sierra turned to Erik as he said,"Nice job with the copu of me. It looks just like me.". "Thanks. It took me about five minutes being that I had to make it perfect." said Erik. He was soon hit by Darren and Nazar much to his confusion. "Okay then. I need your help with something." said Sierra. "Don't worry Sierra. I got this in the bag but don't go running off!" said Alice. Sierra nodded as Nazar said with a smile,"This is so much fun!". He was soon hit by the group except for Sierra.

The next day, Zane ,who was standing in his school uniform, was heading to the classroom being that he was doing three things. The first thing is catching up on his studies for Arcadia U which was his one of his reasons for coming here and seeing his friends was a good thing, doing some last-minute training with a custom made grip strength training device, and just thinking to himself. He sighed as he said,"Wow. I forgot how boring school can be since I'm so far ahead.".

He looked up as he said,"Sometimes you forget that being a hero is more than just fighting bad guys which beats the hell out of school work.". He soon felt his shoulder being touched as he turned to see Buster and Cindy. Both of them were in casual clothing with Buster looking the same as he did two years ago except for the noticeable feature of four arms. If he was wearing his uniform, his uniform would be adjusted for that like Felicia's wings. He's also the same height as before. 

Cindy said,"Hey Zaney, so how are things with you?". "Great you two. While you guys get to enjoy the weekend, I get to learn. So much fun." said Zane. "Well, this is just because you were busy with personal issues." said Buster. Both of them knew about the entire class's plan on getting Sierra and Zane being that their new teacher was involved in some way. Trevor retired about a year ago being that he soon became the new principal of Arcadia U.

Their new teacher is one of the two ranking heroes in the USA being that she's famous due to her having a comic, movie, and animated show about her, making well known. Her name is Michele Lambert aka Masquerade. For those who forget, Kristen is a huge fan of hers. Michele knew about her students's plan on getting Sierra and Zane together being that she knew about the kid through word of mouth.

From what she heard and seen, Zane reminded her a lot of Warrior being that they become heroes in a different fashion than the normal way. Here at Arcadia U, most student have a super power of some kind. It could range from supernatural strength, most if not all kinds of elemental manipulation, and all kinds of animal , which can range from a mouse to elephant or every animal ,fictional or not, in between, mimicry.

This school's intended purpose was made to help the students control and master their power to become great agents of the Alliance and the best students becoming heroes of the Omniverse. They did this through an exam which was one of the hardest tests known to man but less than the Master Sommelier Diploma Exam. If you want to know more about that test because I'm not smart enough for it, look it up online.

This test is the main way to become a hero but like with most things, there is another way to become a hero. Zane became a hero being that he needed to save the student body from Apazar and the Meat Baron being that he proved himself to be a serious force for good. Tyler Harrington aka Warrior is the same way being that he is the most well known hero in the world. She didn't hate either Tyler or Zane but she wished they went the same way.

Back on track here. "The school work isn't the problem. I could do that in my sleep. To be honest, I'm kinda nervous." said Zane. "About what Zane? And you don't look nervous to me." said Cindy. "He is Cindy. Look at his hand." said Buster. Cindy soon looked to see that the device Zane was holding was being used like crazy as she said,"Wow. That's impressive. So what's up?". "Well, I plan to ask Sierra out on a date after I finish up and well, I....." said Zane.

Buster put one of his hands on his shoulder as he said,"Well done Zane. You're quite the lady killer aren't you?". "I guess so." said Zane. Cindy was quiet as Buster said,"You may want to cover your ears. She's about to explode.". Zane nodded as he made several arms cover his ears just as Cindy screamed. Despite the early warning and protection, Zane's hyper hearing was in pain. He was on the floor as Kane said,"Kill her and all women now Zane! The squeals must end!".

Cindy soon picked Zane up as she said,"Zane!". "Could you be more quiet? I think his hearing can't take any more screaming." said Buster, chucking a bit. "Sorry but I'm so happy! Sierra has been in love with you since that day when she both burned and froze Darren! We'll help you out however we can!" said Cindy. "She's right. You may not be around much but you're still our friend." said Buster with a smile. Zane soon smiled as he said,"Thanks. So I have a favor to ask of you two.".

Later that day around lunch, Zane was rubbing the palms of his hands. He was currently outside of the classroom on a break. "Wow. I've never done that much paperwork so fast. This may change in the future but so far, this is the most so far. Don't quote on me that." said Zane. He was currently talking with his five partners being that most of yesterday, he ignored them mainly due to the shock of being confessed to.

Sivarth said,"Well, you did rush through the paperwork so you could do your confession done just right. We helped you practice it and like we've said to you before, you'll do just fine. You also had to make sure that it was okay by the other girls in the Harem. I still think you should wait for Karen's reply though. She's the only one who hasn't responded being that the others seemed okay with it.".

Cole said,"Nah. He should do it while he's here and the feeling is strong!". "He does have a point Sivarth. This is one of the few rare times that Zane has confessed to someone and not the other way around." said Athena. "Hey, I confessed to Kristen and Rain." said Zane. "In the case of Rain, you were just reading the lines of the male lead for her plays. I don't know if that counts but it's something to consider. I'll give you Kristen though." said Twilight.

Zane sighed as he said,"Fine. This is like my third time confessing and I won't mess this up. We've practice this confession like twelve times!". "And you'll still find a way to mess this up." said Kane in a blunt tone. Zane sulked as Cole said,"Wow. You're even more savage than Athena.". He was soon hit by Athena as Sivarth said,"Zane. You need to have confidence. You're able to fight powerful enemies with no fear but confessing to a girl? This should be easy.".

Zane nodded as Twilight said,"So to switch topics, what are you going to do for your finals back at Cypress High?". "I'm mostly likely going to be tutoring people like crazy and well, I can finish all of them in a few minutes. Thank you supernatural intelligence and the ability to multitask. This is also my first real finals since my freshman year being that I was gone for two years. I had to do my junior and sophomore spring and winter finals in the same week which I aced." said Zane.

He soon looked toward the classroom as Cole said,"So why are you looking back? Unlike you, they are enjoying your weekend.". "My weekend is going fine because these tests aren't that hard, they are just annoying." said Zane. The teen soon heard,"Mr. Alvarez. Is everything alright?". He soon turned to see his homeroom teacher standing there in casual clothing. Michele is 24 years old. She’s slim and well built being that she’s very voluptuous. She’s a fairly tall woman being 5 foot 8.

She has Asian heritage with olive colored skin. She has olive green eyes and long auburn hair that hung just below her shoulders. She has a side ponytail to the left side of her head held there by an orange and purple DNA hair clip. She has two strands framing her face. She has three gold earrings in both of her ears. She has a small scar on the right side of her waist being that she got it from using her powers for the first time.

She's wearing a dark red jacket worn over a black and white scoop tank top, a blue denim skirt with translucent black thigh high stockings and brown leather belt to the skirt, and brown high heeled sandals. She's also wearing a dark green scarf. "You seem off from what your case file describes you as. Don't try and lie to me. You must have read my file and it's impossible to lie when I'm in the same room." said Michele.

Zane said,"Wasn't going to but whatever teach. I'm planing on asking out Sierra on a date and well, I just need to confess to her.". "I see. Sierra is a hard girl to figure out. As you already know, she didn't have the best childhood thanks to her bastard father's actions. I'm not going to say that I'm an expert with romance. During my youth, I was focused on being a great hero like Trevor did for me back in the day. Go with the flow okay?" said Michele.

Zane said,"Will do teach. So can I do anything to help out? I mean I may not be a full time student here but I'm still a student here. Let me help.".  Michele sighed as she said,"Okay. You can read my mind like Lynette does right? I just want you to enjoy your youth and if you make Sierra cry, I'll hurt you.". Zane nodded as he said,"Thanks teach and I promise to be a good breath of levity for your class. It's good for a hero to have those.".

Michele said,"All of you are going to be heroes because every last one of you have what makes you a real hero. Just enjoy your youth okay kid? Not all of us have immortality Zane.". "Yeah. I still need to work on that myself. I've been working myself to death and trust me, I need to ask for help more than I do." said Zane. "You have a point but you've gotten more experience than all of them. I've read reports that you've been acting more adult than kid. Enjoy this date okay Zane?" said Michele.

Zane soon held his prosthetic arm with his real one as he said,"Yeah I will. So will Sierra show up? I have a few more minutes before I finish all of the paperwork.". "She will hero. Just be patient. You're better than Erik is though." said Michele. "I'll take that as a compliment." said Zane. Michele soon walked off as Zane heard some footsteps heading toward him. He took a deep breath as Zane said under his breath,"Time to be a man.". "Good Luck Zane." said the five partners.

A few minutes later, Zane stood there with Sierra standing nearby him. Zane looked toward his right as he saw all of his classmates trying to be sneak due to all of them ,including Harry, hiding behind some nearby walls. "Wow. They're not even being subtle about it." said Cole. "Yeah and one of them can turn invisible." said Kane. "Just ignore them and us Zane. Pretend that the class and us are not here. It's just you two." said Athena as Sivarth and Twilight agreed with her.

Zane was soon pulled out of his musing as Sierra said,"Zane. Is there a reason why you asked me to meet you here alone? Is there something wrong? Are you okay?". "Everything is going great. I'm done with all of my paperwork." said Zane. He soon slapped his cheeks as Sierra and his class looked confused. "Okay. I have a question for you." said Zane. "Is he going to do it?" thought the class and Sierra. "Did you mean what you said yesterday?" said Zane.

The entire class was confused at his actions as Zane said,"I like you a lot Sierra. You mean a lot to me being despite everything we've been through, I'm so sure that you would have my back no matter. This includes when when I'm doing something stupid. Heck, Danny doesn't even do that mainly when I do the really dumb shit. You're powerful, incredibly smart, and beautiful! Heck, all of the women in my life are this as well. You're a very important person in my life Sierra and well....".

He soon saw Sierra trying to do a wall-slam on him but thanks to the four inches in height, it wasn't doing its intended purpose. "So are you trying something or...." said Zane. "Shut up Zane and let me talk okay!" said Sierra with her hair covering her eyes. "Wow. She's serious. Zane, I know that you don't have any plans to have kids until MUCH later but when you do, you know what I mean. I can see you two...." said Kane. Twilight soon shut him up.

Sierra said,"I like you Zane Vincent Alvarez! You're the hero who can do anything he wants because you have the power to set your mind into doing it! You save people regardless of what they mean to you outside of costume! You've never given up even when everything go to shit! You're the warmest person I know and you always help out your friends even if you're too tired from the fight. You're my hero Zane and don't you forget it. I'm so thankful to have met you.".

Her face was bright red as Zane said,"Wow. That was amazing.". "Sorry. I know that you're going to tell me something but right now, I needed to get that off my chest. Sorry." said Sierra. "It's fine. We've got time to kill." said Zane. "For what exactly Zane?" said Sierra. "I know that you heard my practice confession to Harry yesterday night." said Zane. Sierra looked shocked as she said,"So did you read my mind? I can never tell when you and Lynette do that.".

Zane said,"I heard you. I have really good hearing. I only read minds when it isn't important. That may change later on though.". The two were quiet with Zane saying,"So what are your plans for tonight?". "Um nothing. Why do you ask Zane?" said Sierra. "Is he finally going to do it?" thought the class. "Perfect. I've always wondered what my life would have been if I didn't have any of my powers. It's food for thought but well, I don't want to change a single aspect of my life." said Zane.

Zane soon did a chin lift to Sierra as he said,"Sierra. I like you a lot. Will you go out with me on a date tonight?". Upon hearing this, Sierra soon erupted in emotions and fire. "Seriously?!" said Sierra with her stuttering. "Yeah. I mean you confessed to me twice in one weekend. I may be a novice when it comes to dates but I'm sure you'll love this one I promise. If you don't want to, I can always ask out another girl." said Zane.

His body was soon frozen solid as Sierra said,"Don't joke about that.". Her face was still red but the fire was gone as Zane chuckled. "What's so funny?" said Sierra. "It's nothing Sierra. I'm just happy that we're going out to begin with and I just love to tease." said Zane. "So when should we meet?" said Sierra, freeing Zane from the ice prison. "The date starts at 6 but we have one thing to do first." said Zane. Sierra and the class looked at Zane who said,"It's time for our long-awaited rematch.".

The class ,except for the duo of Sierra and Zane, soon stood in the viewing section of Arcadia's battle arena Babylon Stadium. The building ,from the outside, looked just like a normal gym but it's much bigger on the inside than one may think. It could fit Zane's Titan Form ,who had grown to 100 feet,  could be in here and still have room to move around in it. It's a large, usually empty, enclosed space being that it was made for the students to help suit the needs of each student.

Erik looked down at both Sierra and Zane being that the both of them were in the gym uniform and doing some warm-up stretches as he said,"So does someone know why they're doing this exactly? I mean it's a battle between the two strongest kids in the class so it'll be a good fight.". "Who cares man? I've been itching to see these two fight against each other in person." said Nazar. "I've seen it before. It was intense." said Sonya.

Tomas agreed with her as both of them were there to see Zane fighting against Sierra the first time being that she was under the control of her father. "Who cares about why they're fighting? I just hope that it's worth my time." said Harry. "Didn't you get owned by him?" said Wanda. "That bastard just got a lucky punch!" said Harry. "Right. You said that but you're number three in our class if we count Zane so.." said Vega.

Before Harry could attack the young man, Michele stood in front of both Sierra and Zane as she said,"Sierra and Zane. Are you two sure about doing this?". "Yeah. I've read the files on all of my classmates and how much all of you have grown in two years! So Michele, could you make an object for me to show how strong I've become. You need to see in action." said Zane. Michele nodded as her body glowed light blue.

The students soon saw a massive ,about 25 feet tall and 10 feet wide, block made out of a mixture of cement or concrete, clay, metal, and rock being that it had some sand waterfalls coming out of it and a ash volcano. "It's so big!" said Alice and Felicia. "That's what she said!" said Darren. He was soon hit by Ivory and Teresa with Buster saying,"Ignoring that sexist comment. Why did teach make this for Zane? I wonder if Zane thinks he can destroy it.". "It looks nice." said Krystal.

Zane soon took a deep breath with him saying,"Okay. Here's just an example of the hurdle that all of you have to face. All of you have maxed out their power and trained your body to their limits in order to master the power that you were blessed with. This class will be taking the Superheroes Exam very soon so you can become official heroes and members of the Alliance. Lets show what I learned in my time on the archipelago outside of time so lets go Zenith Spear!".

His left arm was soon covered in dark indigo ,with a black and white outline, lightning being that it looked to be extremely concentrated around his arm. He soon jumped right into the air ,using Gravity Drive, with him soon flying toward the center of the block aka the volcano. Upon the palm of his hand touching the volcano's top, the lightning soon spread across the entire block. It soon caused an explosion which made several pieces.

Zane soon landed on the ground with the leftover lightning soon dissipating from the area. "This is only a small fraction of my power. I've been through hell and back in order to protect those who can't protect themselves. Sierra, show me how far you've come as a hero since back then!" said Zane with him soon making three clones appear behind him. Sierra smiled as she said,"I hope I don't disappoint you. You may want to leave Ms. Lambert. This may get intense.".

Michele was gone being that Sierra soon fired several large bursts of fire toward Zane. "Wow. You've really gotten hot haven't you?" said Zane. Sierra blushed as Twilight said,"Seriously? You're making a pun now.". "Hey. I love a good pun and that's my way of fighting you know." said Zane. The bursts of flame were almost in front of him and his clones as Zane said with a smile,"Gentlemen. Show her the true power of my unique flames.".

Taylor was interested in this statement being that Zane's flames were a unique color outside of Zane's Forms thanks to him mastering Primordial. Two clones soon stood in front of the prime Zane as their hands were both covered in the signature emerald green ,with a obsidian black tint, flames that was Zane's unique flames. "Absorb." said Zane. Much to the shock of everyone watching, Sierra's flames were transmuted right in front of them.

They soon matched Zane's flames exactly being that Zane said,"Let me show you my fire power Sierra!". The fire soon formed around Zane's right arm and cocked his arm back. He soon aimed it toward Sierra as he punched the air in front of him. The girl soon saw a giant fiery fist shaped pillar heading toward her as she soon made several waves of ice, a huge wave of wind, and two giant waves of water to try and stop it. It didn't do anything to her because Sierra jumped into the air.

She held herself in the air ,using the wind to keep herself there, as she thought,"That fire was really intense. It's a good thing that I dodge it but I doubt Zane is going to let me off that easily". She soon turned to see a clone in front of her with his left arm growing in size. "Nice dodge Sierra but you can dodge this! Giant Toss!" said the clone. She was soon grabbed and she soon sprouted ice spikes being that they pierced her way through the arm. "Ouch! That had to look painful." said Tomas.

Regardless of the pain, the clone soon threw her toward the ground. His arm went back to normal. He was soon gone. Sierra soon got up as she fired a giant stream of water right at the two clones and Zane. "Are you ready you two?" said Zane. The two clones were soon gone as they both turned into Zane's signature fire. The flames soon gathered around his left arm as around his fist, there was a sphere of his lightning but it was hidden from the flames.

Zane said,"Thunder Hellfire Emperor Punch!". He soon rushed right toward Sierra being that she was going to dodge it. However, Zane was faster being that the girl was soon punched by Zane. She was soon blasted ,plus burned, back from the flames and then much to her and the class's shock, she was shocked by a giant bolt of thunder. "So where did the lightning come from?" said Maria. "Who knows and cares? This fight is way better than your fight with him Harry." said Darren.

Harry growled but he knew that his electricity friend was right. "Zane told me that he fights both men and women equally." said Taylor. "Yeah. I remember that he didn't show Sierra mercy the last time they fought." said Tomas. Sierra soon recovered as Zane said,"Wow. I can't believe how much strong you've gotten. I mean in the past, you would have been knocked out by my punch.".Sierra smiled as Crisis Judgement went off.

Zane soon jumped back to avoid a group of icicles. He soon a giant great white shark ,made out of air, fire, water, and wind, construct heading right toward him. "You're now able to use more than one element without being controlled. I'm so proud of how much you've grown here and I'm happy to have save you back then." said Zane. He was soon in the mouth of the beast but it was soon destroyed by pure dark green energy.

Zane soon stood there in a brand new form. He's seven feet tall with a strongly built body. His skin is seemingly metallic being a turquoise color. His head is disc-shaped shape. His eyes turn into a gold color. He has a pair of pointed teeth with them being one in his upper jaw and the other in the lower jaw. On his shoulders and thigh, he has silver metallic “X” which glows a dark green color when using his powers. He wears a gray shirt and black jeans.

In the center of his chest, he has the symbol for nuclear energy with it being a dark green color that glows when using his powers. He’s seven feet tall. "Quantum Form!" said Zane. Sierra ,unfazed by this new form, sent a giant wave of fire toward Zane being that Zane soon held out his hand. "This belongs to me now. Thanks" said Zane. The fire was soon absorbed by Zane but he was soon hit by a group of icicles and was soon in the center of a blizzard.

Sonya soon noticed that this fight was similar to the fight two years ago. The snow soon melted as Zane's body glowed dark green. "Your attempt at freezing me like before won't work just like last time." said Zane. Sierra soon made an ice ramp with her heading toward Zane. She soon fired a burst of fire toward Zane being that Zane made a dark green energy shield. The flames went past him as the ground around him was burning away.

Sierra soon landed back on the ground as she said,"Okay. I guess I have to get serious. You and I have grown so much in the past two years. I'm not a victim anymore but a hero just like you.". Zane deactivated Quantum Form with him soon jumping around several burst of air, drops, embers, and icicles. "Wow. He's so fast." said Buster. During this attack, Sierra soon covered her arm in highly pressurized air being that she put her hand into a fist.

She soon rushed toward him being that Zane soon jumped over her, avoiding the attack. Sierra soon turned around and she blasted him with the air pressure. He soon landed on the ground with him smiling. "Wow. It's like she knew that he was going to dodge it." said Alice. Zane soon noticed that the air in the room was getting colder as he thought,"Okay. Time to bring out the big guns. She's planning something.". Sierra soon felt a strong amount of power coming from Zane.

She remembered the last two times that she felt something like this from her possible boyfriend being that it brought her both fear and joy in her heart. The joy is from Archon Zero being that's the form that Zane used to save her from her father and the fear is from Wrath being that's the form that Zane used to kill Kirk after showing him a holographic image of his father dying. She may know that Wrath is now under control according to Zane but she was still slightly scared of him.

Sierra soon looked for Zane being that like with Archon Zero, Zane had disappeared from sight. She soon saw him standing there being that it wasn't Wrath. It looked to be an update of Archon Zero Master being that Zane updated it like he did with his costume. His hair lost its flame like nature and turns into a solid dark indigo color. He also lost the lines that cover his chin and eyes. His entire body is covered in scales.

They may look different to Vulcan Force but they did have some similarities as well. They are known as the evolved form of the scales called Vulcan Emperor. They are a reddish black ,being metallic, scales with a flame like pattern to them. They slowly cover his entire body, leaving out his face. His eyes stay the same being that his pupils turn more snake like and they form an “X” shape, his irises stay molten gold, and black sclera.

Zane’s teeth ,naturally, grow sharper becoming fangs that wouldn’t be far off from a normal dragon and snake, and now has a forked tongue that would fit the description. He gains a natural ,silver, metal plating that goes around his head. His feet and hands were now very sharp, deadly talons and claws respectively. He grows a long tail being that the end is an arrow-headed spade. His body is also covered in a indigo colored aura ,which like before, is living.

It formed itself into globes ,that are orbiting around him, that are pure Primordial energy. He wears a gray zipped that shows off his “Z” shaped piercing, high-collar full length hooded cloak with a dark purple fleur-de-lis on the back of his hood. He wears the exact same pants and shoes he wears in his Zeta costume to keep some things the same. Zane taunted her to come at him as she rushed toward him.

She blasted him with air being that Zane evade them. He soon landed a punch on her being that she expected this. She stopped herself from flying thanks to a transparent barrier of air. "Wow. I totally thought she would have flown." said Krystal. "You've gotten better Sierra. You've grown past the girl who didn't see herself as nothing but the slave of that bastard father of yours." said Zane. The reptile like teen looked at Sierra with him sending three Primordial globes toward her.

Sierra soon blasted them with ice but they were destroyed upon contact with the globes. Sierra soon dodged them but by doing that, she was soon kicked. She was sent flying back as Zane went right after her. To try and stop him, Sierra blasted him with water. "I'm sure he figured out my plan and I can't let it go to waste!" thought Sierra. The water did nothing to stop Zane and before Zane's punch could land, Sierra launched herself away using the air.

Lynette said,"Wow. I thought she was going to get hit by that attack.". "Remember that Zane isn't a person you can exact dodge. He always has a plan." said Taylor. Sierra was soon hit by Zane's fist as she saw that Zane had sprouted an arm from his back. She landed on the ground as she noticed that there was an imprint of his fist on her. "That was Vulcan Emperor Spear and don't worry. I'll get rid after our fight." said Zane.

Sierra soon launched several pillars of ice toward Zane being that the young man jumped his way through them. "Wow. This fight is amazing." said Vega. "Yeah but why isn't Sierra using her fire? I mean it would be useless but it's better than not using it at all." said Nazar. "Just wait. The best is yet to come." said Harry. Sierra was soon hit by nothing as Zane stood there. "I love the fact that Archon Zero ,either Base or Master, can make my physical attacks hit you for a distance away." said Zane.

Sierra smiled as she said,"Time to end this Zane. We have a date after all.". "Yeah." said Zane. The girl soon made a massive wave of ice being that she sent it toward Zane. The teen dodged it thanks to Gravity Drive with him soon noticing that the entire room was covered in giant icicles. Sierra's body was soon covered in her fire being that all ice soon melted. The air was heated being that Sierra soon aimed her attack toward Zane.

She soon fired a massive burst of fire toward Zane being that the teen smiled. "Vulcan Emperor Kaiser Magnum!" said Zane. The crowd soon watch Zane's right arm grow bigger being that it looked to be bigger than Avalanche Punch, Colossal Vulcan Punch, and Monstrous Hammer which says a lot. During the expansion, his scales grew thicker and his arm was producing steam. He soon sent it toward the burst of fire being that it went right through the flames.

Thanks to the fist going through the fire, it caused a massive explosion. The entire room began to shake being that the room wouldn't be destroyed thanks to the building being able to handle several nukes hitting the room at once. It was also because teenager with superpowers make a lot of property damage. The room was pretty much destroyed and was entirely covered in smoke. "So who won the fight?" said Erik. "Just wait and see Erik." said Maria.

The smoke was soon cleared as the image of Zane stood in the center of the room. Zane held Sierra in his arms ,bridal or princess style, as he smiled. She was out cold being that if she was awake, she would be blushing up a storm and burning him. He knew that his punch had the potential to break through dimensions and can sent a target into the ground, breaking it and making a massive crater. He kissed her forehead as the fight ended along with the smoke.

Three to four hours later, Sierra was sitting alone and in the common room. She was killing some time ,thanks to her phone, before her date. She's wearing her date outfit being a long sleeved dark green turtleneck. black jeans, and brown flats. She also wearing gold earrings that are in the shape crescent moon, gold arm band around her left arm with violet ribbon strings attached to it, and a modest pearl necklace to her.

She was texting Zane being that he was informing her about their date. She honestly couldn't believe that this was actually happening being that Zane confessing to her was a dream come true. She had just woken up maybe two hours ago now being that she was very thankful that Zane ,thanks a hidden clone he had just in case and was in String Form, had kept her modesty in tact. Her gym uniform was a causality of the fight.

However, she was soon embarrassed thanks to Maria showing her a picture of her being held like a princess by Zane causing the nurse office to burn. She soon turned around to see Alice and Felicia as Alice said,"So why are you just sitting here? You do remember that you have a date with our prince charming remember?". "Yeah. You've got ninety minutes before Zane sweeps you off your feet. So what was it like being held like a princess?" said Felicia.

Sierra said,"To answer your question Alice, it's rather simple. Zane told me that I should dress casual because we're going to see a movie, dinner, and then our date endes with a romantic walk. It's nothing complicated plus it felt good Felicia.". "Wow. I didn't expect that from him but well he loves to shock people. He really know his stuff. I guess him being a harem king helps plus watching a romantic TV too much." said Felicia with some confusion in her voice.

Alice said,"He may have said that you should dress casual Sierra but you should do something well special since it's your first date. So lets ignore your current outfit for now, where are you two going to dinner?" said Alice. "Some place called Skyward Jubilee. He says that the food is really good there and you know Zane and his love of food." said Alice. The two girls looked at each other as Felicia said with shock in her voice,"Are you serious?". "Yes. Why are you acting weird?" said Sierra.

Alice said,"We're acting weird because that place hasn't opened yet.". "Yeah. He said that he got two invites for its grand opening thanks to him being Legion Zero. Zane says that the owner basically begged him for several invites for it upon saving his life." said Sierra. She smiled as she said,"Zane didn't accept the tickets at first but thanks to a week of begging from the owner, Zane eventually accepted it for a friend of his.".

Alice soon growled as Sierra looked at her. "You've gotten the best place for a date and you're going to be dressing like that!" said Alice. The invisibility girl soon grabbed Sierra as she said,"Hey! What are you doing?!". "We're having another meeting! Felicia, get the team together!" said Alice. "You got it boss!" said Felicia. The two girls were soon frozen solid thanks to Sierra being that she didn't like being grabbed.

A few minutes later, the duo of Alice and Felicia were shivering. "Why did you freeze us?! We're friends right?!" said Alice. "We are but I hate being forced to do things that I don't want to do. I could have burned you but I decided to be gentle." said Sierra. "That's gentle to you?!" said Felicia. "So are we almost done with whatever you're planning?" said Sierra. The three were soon outside of Vega's room as Alice said,"And here I thought you've changed in the past two years.".

Sierra shrugged as Alice knocked on the door and it opened up. "Hey! It's...." said Alice. She soon ducked as something flew above her head. Inside of Vega's room, he stood there with the rest of the girls of the class. "Sorry about that Alice! You just shocked me." said Krystal with her waving her arms back and forth. Sonya was holding a ball of glitter in her hands as Alice said,"Don't worry. I'm fine. It missed me.".

Alice smiled as she said,"Anyway, check out who I brought to..... Well, I'm screwed.". Sierra was soon covered in glitter with her getting mad by the second. It leveled Zane's anger which he was famous for. "You will clean this mess off me right now and you're paying for my dry cleaning for four months. Understand Alice?" said Sierra. "I will! Just don't freeze me!" said Alice. Vega smiled as he said,"This is going to be fun right?". "Lets see if Alice can live through the night." said Sonya.

Later, the duo of Alice and Felicia ,wearing shades, stood there as Felicia said,"Okay team! We have less than two hours to make Sierra look so beautiful that our resident god turns into a blushing mess of a person! Are you ready?!". The girls plus Vega cheered as Sierra stood there, holding her glitter covered turtleneck and she was wearing a black tank top underneath. "Please make this end. I need to get ready." thought Sierra, slightly tired from her friends.

Sierra was soon forced to wear six outfits being that each outfit was done by two girls. The first outfit was the handiwork of Alice and Felicia. This consisted of putting Sierra's hair in Double Buns, blue diamond earrings and matching necklace, a white fluffy coat, a sparking blue dress, thigh high fishnet stockings, and white ankle strap high heel sandals. This outfit was very sparking and not at all Sierra according to the words of Vega aka the gay best friend.

The second outfit was the handiwork of Taylor and Wanda with Sierra looking more like a secretary being that Sierra's hair was in a bun with simple gold earrings. She's wearing a white blouse, green pencil skirt, stockings, and dark green flats. This outfit wasn't approved because she looked older than she did much to Taylor's disappointment. She was soon comforted by Sierra while the next team got their outfit ready.

The third outfit was the handiwork of Cindy, Krystal, and Lynette being that this outfit was called more interesting than the duo of Alice and Felicia which is saying a lot. Sierra's hair was in pigtails with a bow in her hair. She's wearing a blue purse with several accessories. She's wearing a long sleeved ice themed sweater, short blue skirt, white knee high socks with the top of them having a cat pattern, and black Mary Jane shoes.

Sierra said,"Wow. I'm shocked that there is an outfit that would be even worst than Alice and Felicia but this is it.". "Why are you so mean?!" said Krystal, pouting. "Well, it is but it doesn't fit their date at all." said Ivory. "Okay. I may have just wanted to dress up Sierra since I could." said Cindy. "And you don't need to be a psychic to figure that out Cindy. I just went with this one because why the heck not?" said Lynette. "Right." said Sonya and Teresa.

The next outfit was the handiwork of Ivory, Sonya, and Teresa being that it's very much the opposite of the previous three outfits. Sierra's hair was in a ponytail with her wearing a black choker and wrist band on her right wrist. She's wearing a purple dress with black tights and black boots. She wears a white belt around her waist. "I'm liking this outfit!" said Alice. "It's stylish and practical. Nothing too fancy but it's still fancy." said Ivory. "It needs some more glitter." said Vega.

His idea was soon shot down by all of the girls. The next two outfits was the solo work of Maria being that the super genius made inventions that could destroy the world and outfits that could be on a runaway. The first outfit is more casual being that Sierra had her hair in a braided ponytail. She's wearing a purple flannel shirt with a white tank top underneath. She's wearing a simple silver bracelet and brown capris. She's wearing brown shoes.

Maria said,"I know that you're going to a fancy place but I'm pretty sure that Zane doesn't care how rich you look plus he's a casual guy so looking super nice isn't important to him at all. You just have to look good..". "That makes sense. He's very much against the rich." said Taylor, remembering when she learned about him punching one of the richest men in town and then using Nightmare Form on him and his wife. This is a reference to Episode 98 so check it out.

The second outfit was more fancy. She's wearing a white wrap dress with a green dress underneath and brown sandals. She had her hair looking out of a salon. "Wow. What can't you do Maria?" said Alice and Felicia. "Build a time machine. Too much of a pain." said Maria. "I like this outfit but I don't want Zane to kill or beat the crap out of EVERY guy who looks at me perverted." said Sierra as all of the girls heard about Zane's tolerance of perverts according to Taylor.

It's pretty bad being that Mack would have so horror stories. The final outfit was done by Vega being that it was the most fancy, ballgown like. It fit the prom scene. No one had any comments being that it was Vega. Cindy looked at her phone as she said,"You guys! We only have twenty minutes!". "We have nothing! We need to come up with something." said Alice. "We should do a fusion of Taylor and Wanda's hair designs." said Vega.

During this, Sierra ,back to her normal clothing while holding her sweater, had left the room being that she was grateful for her friends but they were overwhelming her. Sierra looked at her phone as she waited for the elevator. There was a message from Nazar saying that Zane will met her in the common room and look sexy. The messages stopped as Sierra guessed that Zane mostly attacked him but who knows? Sierra decided to go with her guts on an outfit.

Harry ,who just came back from training, was coming out of the elevator when he saw Sierra. "So why are you over here on the boy's side? We moved you over there because you're not at all a boy anymore." said Harry, pinching his nose. "Well Harry, I was in Vega's room for a fashion show of sorts. They wanted to help me for my date and well, they were overwhelming me. It's a pain in my ass." said Sierra.   

She soon walked past him as she said,"If you need me, I'll be getting ready for my date.". Her top was soon grabbed by Harry with him throwing her into his room easily. "What is your damage you dam explosion..?" said Sierra, with some cloth hitting her face. "Put that on right now. I'm going to make you look nice but don't tell anyone about this." said Harry. "Wow. You're full of surprises because you have good taste in women's fashion. Don't judge a book by its cover works with you." said Sierra.

Harry soon scoffed at her as he turned around. "Remind me to owe you the favor when you finally ask out...." said Sierra. Harry soon glared at her with his cheeks red. "Don't you even dare mention that name. I've kept it a secret from Lynette and that's been a pain." said Harry. "Okay but why aren't you two a thing yet? I mean do you like someone else or are you too scared? I know that Zane and I could help you get the confidence." said Sierra.

Harry soon crackled his knuckles as Sierra said,"I know that I shouldn't invade here but you've done so much for me in the past day or two so I just wanted help.". "Fine but lets get this night over with first before we handle my problem." said Harry. Sierra smiled as she said,"Guess you're not a bastard anymore.". Harry smiled as he went to work. Here are some morals to live by never judge a book by its cover and fashion is in the eye of the beholder. 

It was now 6 PM being that Zane was now the one relaxing in the common room. "Zane. We need to have a talk." said Twilight. Zane soon turned to see Twilight sticking out of his right shoulder as he was used to stuff like this. "What's up?" said Zane. Twilight soon looked over him ,being that he was wearing his winter casual, as she said,"So this is what you're going to wear on your date?". "Yeah. I mean this date is casual, not at all fancy thank the gods." said Zane.

Twilight said,"True but you're taking her to the most exclusive place in the country. and you're going to dress like that Zane?". "Fine. I know that you're going to be very persistent on this. Okay then. If I dress appropriately for this date, you'll stop right?" said Zane. The alien nodded as Zane said,"Well go ahead.". His body was soon covered in his Vordlarin partner's tendrils being that she was changing his clothes to something more fitting for a date.

Twilight acts like an older sister to Zane being that she has been helping him out with treating every girl just right even before the two met. Zane was shocked on how many times she took control of him without him or anyone noticing the difference. Her ability to act as him was impressive being that Kane was the only one who could mimic Zane perfectly. The older sister figure was soon finished as Zane said,"So? How do I look?".

Twilight said,"Like a prince straight out of a fairy tale.". Zane soon turned his left arm into Mirror Form's arms being that he created a large floor mirror before turning his arm back to normal. He's wearing a black ,pinstripe, waistcoat over a white ,silk, dress shirt which was un-tucked despite not showing it. He's wearing a simple red tie being that it had a spider-web pattern to it and it looked well done. He's wearing black dress pants and dress shoes.

He's quite dashing with him still wearing his glasses and the rest of his gear which including his earrings, enigma talisman, headphones, signet ring, watch, and wooden necklace. "This outfit is based off the one you wore during your time at Roxy's mansion but with a tie honoring myself and no fedora with it. Oh I forgot something." said Twilight. She rolled the sleeves back until they, revealing Zane's arms  as he said,'Thanks Twilight. Wish me luck.".

Twilight soon went back into Zane as she said,"You really don't need it Zane but you got this. You're going to be fine so be the confident partner that I respect.". Zane soon sighed with him slapping his cheeks. He smiled as he said to himself,"I can do this. I can fight super villains. There is no need to worry. She likes me for me even if I mess up.". Zane shook his head as he said,"I'm thankful that the guys didn't bother me too much with this.".

He soon remembered how Darren, Erik, and Nazar were going to help with his clothing since the girls and Vega were going to help Sierra with her. The guys were stopped by Tomas being that Buster told him to be himself. Zane ,pulling out of his thought, soon heard,"So Zane, how do I look?". "Oh Sierra, you look..." said Zane. Zane looked to see his date standing there as he felt his face doing its signature blush.

Despite his ability to control it which helps a lot when it comes to teasing he noticed, it still broke through the control much to his embarrassment at times being that Sierra's look was one of those times. Her green hair looked even better being that it looked like it had been to a salon. Her bangs were pushed back, mainly to show her forehead. She also didn't have her ponytail. She's wearing a black knee-long dress that had sleeves that covered her shoulders.

The dress had a silver trimming to it. Her dress had a green ,same color as her hair, sash around her waist. She's wearing gray stockings. She finishes off her outfit with dark purple fingerless gloves that go up to her elbows and matching ankle strap high heels. She's also wearing all of her jewelry. Zane was deathly quiet as he thought,"She's so dam sexy! I'm so very happy that she didn't decide to dress casual.". He soon heard Kane yell loudly,"Say something you fucking idiot!".

Zane shook his head like a dog as he said,"I'll be right back.". He was gone, leaving behind a cloud version of himself. Sierra ,plus the class with them watching from Harry's room much to his anger and confusion, was shocked by this action being that they thought,"Seriously man?! Why did he just do that?!". They ,plus the rest of Arcadia U much to their lack of care, soon got an answer from Zane's loudest form aka Liger Form.

They heard,"Sierra looks like a god damn angel right now brother! She's so god damn beautiful right now and always! Thank the gods that she didn't go casual for our date! I'm so damn happy right now! Thank the gods!". Sierra's face was redder than red could be and thankfully not on fire as she said,"That very stupid idiot. He does look handsome though. I'm thankful for him not going casual as well.".

Zane ,still in Liger Form, stood in front of her as he said,"We should get my element angel?! I don't want to make our teacher mad by us breaking curfew brother!". Sierra smiled as she said,"Yes but go back to normal. I may like all of your forms being that Cartoon and Diamond Form are some of my favorites but I like the real you.". Zane went back to normal as he held out his hand and Sierra grabbed it.

Sierra said,"So how are we getting there? Flying? Portal? Vehicle? I'm curious about how we're going to get there since well, it's you." said Sierra. "None of the above Sierra. Have you've ever seen Erik move before?" said Zane. Sierra nodded as Zane said,"Well, I can move faster.". Erik soon sulked as Sierra said,"Could we walk there Zane?".Zane soon shrugged as he said with his signature smile on right now,"You're the boss Sierra.".

The two soon left the building as Sonya said,"Wow. They look just like a couple. So how did they match?". "My friends are going to have an awesome date and it's so freaking manly! But I do know that Sierra's appearance was done by Harry! I guess he's a real romantic huh ladies?" said Nazar with Harry looking away. He was getting off the impression that he was annoyed but he was blushing. "No way? Really?" said Cindy. "Yep! Would I lie?" said Nazar.

Harry's face was red in anger as he said,"So what the hell is your plan now? I'm to guess that you need to be there for Sierra. We can't exactly follow them because of Zane's radar like sense even with your weird drones Maria.". "Wow. I still can't believe you made her look like that and Zane's reaction was something else but totally him." said Felicia. "I guess you shouldn't judge a book by its cover I guess." said Buster with Darren and Lynette agreeing with him.

Harry ignored them to watch Sierra smiling due to Zane talking about something involving his kids he guessed. He was proud of his handiwork as he smiled. "I got it you guys! We should totally spy on them from a safe distance. This camera is nice but I want to be there in person you know! Okay the team of Darren, Nazar, and Taylor! Follow me!" said Alice. Before the four could leave, they were stopped by Harry. "So why did you stop us man?" said Darren.

Nazar said,"Yeah! I mean you've helped out Sierra more than all of us here combined! You're such a good bro you know that.". "I just want them to have privacy okay? It's plain and simple! Sierra gets overwhelmed by you guys sometimes. She asked me to help twice because she got overwhelmed by you helping her. She likes you all but give them space." said Happy. "I guess you're a big softie under all of that rage." said Sonya.

Harry smiled as he said,"Well yeah. I learned from Zane that being nice is the best way to become a hero so I'll try that for now.". The two looked at each other with Nazar butting in. "So who wants to make some snacks? I'm buying." said Nazar. "Good because we're going all out." said Wanda as Nazar regret his offer. Maria knew that there was a relationship brewing here and it involved the trio of Harry, Nazar, and Sonya. This was going to be fun.

Later, the couple of Sierra and Zane were sitting on a bench that looked over Cypress Park being that the city/town's light light up the night. The date went good being that dinner was nice being that the food was heavenly according to Zane being that he devour a lot being that most people would be shocked to see someone eat that much and then paid for it. She did feel bad for him paying for it since she did have money on her because she gets an allowance.

However Zane told her that since he asked her out, he would pay and that she could pay for the next one. She joked that the next date won't involve food and that she'll pay for half of the rest of their date with Zane telling her no promises on the next date and paying for the rest of it being that he had a reason. Sierra was confused at Zane's actions. The movie showed Sierra a different side to of Zane being that she knew about her crush's love of the romantic drama through word of mouth.

It was a shock to see him like how he was in the theater. The two sat there looking at the stars with Zane thinking,"This is going well right you guys? I mean I feel like a jerk for not letting her pay but I was following what my dad told me when I was little.". "It is going fine Zane but I think Sierra is about to say something." said Sivarth. Zane soon turned to her as she said,"Thank you Zane. I know that I say this to you every time that we talk.".

Zane smirked as he said,"Not every time. I'm having a awesome time with you. I really did enjoyed the movie if you couldn't tell Sierra. Been a big fan since I was a kid.". "I wouldn't use big Zane but I guess it works." said Cole with him being hit by the rest of Team Legion Zero for ruining the mood in their appearance. "You really did. Can I ask you a couple of things?" said Sierra. "Sure. What's up Sierra?" said Zane. "Why didn't you let me pay for any of our date?" said Sierra.

Zane chuckled as he said,"Well, I used a card that belonged to one of my mom's friends. She and I don't get along that much being that she "secretly" helps fund the agency that's trying to killing her race. Swarm also couldn't hit a Phantom even if they had Wanda's aim. She also cloned me without my permission. I may have gotten Zoey in the process but I can be real petty. I "borrowed" one of her credit cards and she paid for our date tonight.".

Sierra looked at him shocked as she said,"You've spent over 10,000 dollars in this night alone. How are you a hero when you did something so evil?". "I'm not a goodie two shoes Sierra. She hurt my family so I took revenge. Be lucky that I'm not a villain. So Sierra before you ask me more questions since you probably have a lot, are you okay with my whole situation?" said Zane, looking away being that Sierra glared at him.

Zane sighed as he said,"We're friends no duh and we like each other romantically. I'm sure you want me to be yours and yours alone but I can't do that. My Essence is too big for just one person and by only dating you, I would hurt so many people. To be honest, this date was totally last minute being that I wanted to make a first good impression on you.". "Zane. You're becoming Leif." said Sivarth with a groan. "Sorry if I'm ruining the mood but I just have to make sure." said Zane.

Sierra soon kissed him as the crowd back at Arcadia U cheered being that Harry silently cheered. "I don't mind you being in a Harem. You're not the type of guy to see us as trophies or something along those lines. You sees us as people first. It's nice plus I think your overthinking nature is cute. If only you muttered, you would be just perfect." said Sierra. "Wow. I guess I should start muttering more then." said Zane. "Don't." said Cole, getting slapped again.

Sierra looked at him as she said,"Look. You've got more dating experience than me because while you had little help, I need a lot of help. They helped me discover my feelings toward you that have been growing since you saved me. Harry was my biggest help being that he's a good guy under all of the explosions. Just be confident about this Zane. Your confidence is your best feature after all. It always gets everyone more power up than anything else.".

Everyone at Arcadia U could agree to that being that Zane had a natural confidence to him that got everyone under its control. Zane smiled as he said,"Sure thing Sierra! I promise to be the best guy I can be to you girls but make sure that I'm doing the best that I can do because well, I tend to miss the bigger picture.". "Sure. So can I ask my questions?" said Sierra. "Sure. I'm all good." said Zane with Sierra smiling. "Do you believe in fairy tales?" said Sierra.

Zane looked at her as Sierra said,"Okay. Have you ever wanted one to be so real so badly?". "Well, I know that this sounds real embarrassing but I do." said Zane. Sierra looked at him as he said,"Well, I want to be someone who could protect what I held dear being that my mom told me stories about this super cool superhero who just happened to have the same name as me. These stories was right after my dad went missing so they really cheered me up." said Zane.

Sierra said,"So do you tell them to your kids?". "Yeah. They love them being that Atem wants me to write about them but I have no time to even write one. So what type of fairy tale do you want to be real? Please tell me that it isn't entirely about friendship and out of nowhere power ups for the main cast making the villains looking pathetic." said Zane. "Not even close. My fairy tale is actually the fairy tale Cinderella . Do you want to hear it?" said Sierra. "I would love to." said Zane, smiling.

Sierra soon told Zane the story being that it was obvious that the fairy tale was about her. It was also way more interesting being that it had super powers to it. It also had fighting being that it kept his interest. He also learned the origin of her superhero name being that he found it cute. "So what do you think?" said Sierra. "It was amazing. I loved it. So you based your superhero name off that? I like that." said Zane with a smile.

Sierra looked down as she said,"Remember the first day we met?". "Yeah. It's a day that I'll never forget so what's up?" said Zane. "I never thought that I would met the prince from the story being that story kept me going through the bad times of my life. I soon met you and well upon you saving me and beating him up, you and the prince are the same person." said Sierra. Nazar was wiping away the tears that he had began shedding during the story as Darren said,"You can't be serious dude.".

Nazar said,"Don't you have a heart?! That story was so sweet.". The two was soon hit by the girls as Tomas said,"Hush you two. This is the good part.". Zane looked at her and the teen was going to say something as Sierra said,"That's what I thought at first.". "What is she doing?!" said Taylor. "Yeah. I guess she's pulling a Zane." said Ivory. The class was getting annoyed of how many times that Zane had shocked them in this weekend alone.

Sierra said,"When I arrived at Arcadia University, I soon began meeting people who were just like the prince. They didn't see me as a weapon or tool to be used but a person. I soon learned what it means to be a hero. It's someone willing to do whatever it takes to protect an innocent person even if they could die in the process.". She began crying as she said,"I thought you died when I saw Daemon killing you. Why did you forgive him?!". "You're not alone." thought the class.

Zane said,"Despite me being petty toward Lilith, I try not to hold a grudge Sierra.". "I know that well Zane but I don't want to lose you. You're the type of person would give up their life to protect your treasure. I can't and won't stop you for being who you are but can I be a little selfish?" said Sierra as she kept on crying. It was awkward to watch. Zane sighed and looked at his date, knowing what to do. "Sierra. Look at me right now." said Zane. "Okay?" said Sierra.

He soon kissed her on the lips much to her shock. "Zane?" thought Sierra. "Is this because she did the first kiss Zane?" said Athena. "Possibly but technically, Zane kissed her first. She didn't get kissed on the lips but the forehead." said Twilight. "Whatever. Lets see what our idiot does." said Kane with Sivarth agreeing with Kane. Cole would have said something but he was stopped by Athena who blocked him from talking.

Back at the school, Alice cheered as Nazar threw Zane a proud and manly thumbs up. Harry looked at Taylor with her looking both happy and sad for her friend. "Don't worry. I'm sure that you'll find someone like Zane in your future." said Harry. He was soon punched by her as Taylor said,"I really miss when you were a pervert.". "Yeah but you like me." said Harry. "I guess so." said Taylor with the two going back to watching this scene.

Zane said,"When I was a kid, I promised to be the type of person who can protect the people he cares about no matter what. I may joke around a lot during my fights but my main priority is the safety of everyone whose under my protection. I'll die someday but not today or any time in the future. I made a promise to myself. I'm going to be the strongest so I can keep on living with the people that I care about. I won't die Sierra I promise!". "He's so romantic." said Alice.

He had a bright smile on his face as Sierra used his hand to wipe away the tears. "Do you really mean it Zane? I know that you're the type of person that would never goes back on his word. That's one of the many reasons why I love you Zane." said Sierra. She hugged him as she said,"I know that this would ruin the mood hero but we should get going back to the dorms. I doubt you want to make Principal Trevor mad.". "Yeah but do you want to join me on patrol Karma?" said Zane.

He soon turned into Legion Zero with Sierra nodding. The two were soon gone as Nazar said,"So a couple of things. Did Zane know we were watching them? How will Sierra get her costume? And why didn't they take us on patrol?!.". "It's because we would be a third wheel on their date." said Darren. "Nazar. If you ask, Zane may take you on patrol. We should let them have their thing." said Alice as Nazar cheered.

The very next morning, Zane ,out of costume and wearing his casual clothing, stood outside of the dorms. It was really early in the morning being that he had to head back to Cypress Park being that his weekend here at Arcadia U was over. "Hey there Athena. Can you make sure I come back here more often?" said Zane. "It isn't a problem at all. So why are you leaving so early? You don't have to head back to Cypress until late tonight. Your friends are covering you on patrols." said Athena.

Cole said,"Isn't it obvious? Zane is trying to leave before the party.". "That isn't it." said Zane. "It totally is." said Kane. "I thought you were going to try and make memories with them before they all eventually pass on. You may get overwhelmed at their party but this will make them really happy. I doubt you would want to make Sierra mad at you after bringing her into the fold that is your harem." said Sivarth.

Zane sighed as he heard,"So you're leaving without saying goodbye kid?". He turned to see the former superhero and teacher but current principal Trevor Evermore aka Torpedo standing there with him having a cane. He's still short being about 4 feet but he's still a highly capable fighter. He has short yet full gray hair with a beard and shinning blue eyes. He's still wearing his dark blue domino mask that resembles an cross-hair.

He's wearing a matching dark blue business suit with a red tie. "Yeah. I'm not leaving them being that I plan to come back more often." said Zane. "This isn't because two of your girlfriends are here." said Trevor. "That may be a factor." said Zane. He looked at the dorm with Trevor saying,"Is something wrong Zane?". "Nothing. I'm just worried that Sierra may developed a Cinderella Complex. I mean I want her to change her situations by her doing and not having her rely on me." said Zane.

Trevor sighed as he said,"You don't need to worry. My replacement is good at making sure that all of them are good at making quick decisions without anyone to help them. That won't happen but she does care an awful deal for you.". "Yeah. I know." said Zane, remembering how she kissed him good night after dropping her off at her room. He made a vow to kiss her so that they would be tied. "Do you know why she's like that Zane? It's actually quite simple." said Trevor. "Shoot." said Zane.

Trevor said,"It's her past Zane. You and I both know that Sierra has trouble connecting with people. It took her a while to get close to her classmates. She's very depending on those she likes the most aka you. If there is any danger that comes to you, she gets very depressed and will lead to a mistake. It could bring her end.". "I won't get in danger." said Zane, looking confident. "Zane. We both know that being a hero means that danger is going to happen." said Trevor.

Zane clenched his right fist as Trevor said,"Look, I'm not telling you to stop being a hero. Just spend time with her and maybe, we can help Sierra. We don't her or anyone that cares about you to worry themselves to death about you. She'll able to live her life without you but you won't die right?". "I won't die sir. You just wanted me to stay here long but could you convince them not to throw me a party?" said Zane. "You know that I can't stop those kids even if I tried." said Trevor.

Zane said,"Fine I tried but if I have to leave, you know why.". "Yes. You and Sierra share how you both get overwhelmed at times. It's good for gods to have some humanity in them." said Trevor. "It really is because my ego is already pretty big and I really don't want to be that big." said Zane. The two soon headed toward the dorm being that Sierra and Taylor opened the door. "Principal! Stop him from leaving Sierra." said Taylor. "Don't worry. I'm on it." said Sierra.

She soon froze both of Zane's legs ,with him being worried about Twilight more than being frozen by the girl, as Trevor said,"Ladies. He isn't leaving.". "You aren't?" said the two. "Well, I was but the principal here convince me to stay. So can I leave my ice cuffs?" said Zane. "No. You need to pay for almost leaving." said Sierra. "And what do I have to pay? I mean I'm in love with you Sierra but I have my limits." said Zane.

Sierra soon kissed him as Trevor said,"I can't believe this is happening.". "I told Sierra that being in a harem requires sharing. As long as none of them spend too much time with Zane, she should be fine but I'll keep an eye on her." said Taylor. Trevor looked at Sierra ,whose face was blushing red, as Zane smiled. "He's going to be a great hero and lover." thought Trevor. "Should I free him?" said Sierra. Zane soon freed himself with fire. The three teens went inside as Trevor watched with a smile.

Meanwhile in the building where Andrew Collins does his business, the sounds of a low TV rumbled through a room as a person sat in front of it, bathed in its bright light. It was Ripper also known as Carmen Patton. She had a lovesick expression on her face, directing her attention to it. Her attention from the TV caused her to miss the room light turn on. The super villain Thomas Wright aka Cryonic stood there as he was confused at her actions.

Thomas said,"Ripper. What are you watching?". "It's a video that the boss gave me being that it's also about this cutie." said Carmen. "And who would that be?" said Thomas. "It's Zero! He's the hero who causes the boss and pals a pain! Look at him!" said Carmen. The ice man soon looked at the screen to see Zane ,in his costume from two years aka his Theta Costume, standing there against Xiadur at Blacktomb Detention Center. "Look at him Frosty!" said Carmen.

Thomas soon saw that the young man looked tattered and reeking of death being that his body was covered in dried up blood, bruises, cuts, and things that would kill a normal human. "He looks to be reeking of death right? I bet that state he's in is because of that warden. I don't know why they are fighting but who cares? Zero has turned into a major cutie in a short period of time." said Carmen as she said it in a sing-songy manner making her sound more childish than she is.

Instead of arguing with her, Thomas sighed and focused on the screen. "Whatever. Can you take this footage on the go?" said Thomas. "Yeah but why frosty?" said Carmen, turning off the TV. "We're needed by the boss." said Thomas. "Okay!" said Carmen. Thomas soon left the room being he soon began counting down. If Carmen didn't come out of her room in ten seconds, he would go in there and get her using force.

Upon being hired by Drew, Thomas decided to do some research on the professional killer Ripper. It was interesting being that she's been killing people since she was fifteen. Her career started off one day after school. Carmen was raised primarily by her Japanese grandmother due to her parents never being around much. She spend most of her time either helping her grandmother, hanging out with her friends, or training herself in swordsmanship or acrobatics.

However after almost being assaulted by a group of guys from her high school, she snapped and killed all of them using her pencil from her bag. She soon went on a murdering series being that she killed most of the people she has ever known including her grandmother. She was soon contacted by the Odium Society to be their private killer being that she accepted the offer but she gets to pick who she kills. She's been with the Odium Society for six years.

She's very cheerful being that she smiles mainly when she's fighting or when she's killing someone being that the latter is more common. Her face is usually blushing, mainly when she’s excited even in the thrill of combat. She’s courageous or very confident in her skills. She hates being ordered around by others who she doesn’t like. She’s ruthless in the heat of combat being that she’s only focused on killing her target.

She’s a curious girl being that she tended to spy on others that she finds interesting. She has a very dry sense of humor and tends to treat others with very little respect. He soon saw the girl leaving her room as Thomas said,"Nine seconds. Next time, you need to be out of the room by five. If you don't do that, I'll freeze you.". "And I'll just break out! Lets go!" said Carmen. The two soon headed toward their boss's office being that it was going to take some time to get there.

In the mean time, Thomas was reading up on some of the latest news involving the idea of superhero and villains. He always liked to be kept up to date on events like this being that he doesn't want to be caught off guard by his enemies. He soon heard an annoying tapping sound being that he was getting annoyed fast. He turned to see the killer, with her face deep into her phone and it was illuminated by the screen. Her expression screamed lovesick being that Thomas was slowly getting used to it.

Thomas said,"Carmen. Please stop.". She ignored him being that he knew that he was staring at the boy who Thomas respected. He froze her phone as this got her attention. "You know that I can kill you with ease right?" said Carmen being that she looked and sounded annoyed. "You do know that Zero doesn't feel the same way right? He'll only see you as a killer and he's going to make you pay for your crime." said Thomas. "So?" said Carmen.

Thomas noticed that the cellphone screen showed a shirtless Zero. His body was very much covered with numerous cuts and marks. He knew that the footage was alter somewhat. "Wow. You're being a total creep. He may be illegal but still. We're about to reach the office so you need to focus. If you do that, I'll give you a new phone." said Thomas. Carmen nodded as Thomas threw her a new phone. He soon went back to research on the news being that it was about Cypress Park University.

Carmen soon lost herself in Zane's eyes being that she loved the molten gold eyes more. At first, she was annoyed by Zane being that he prevent her from doing her job. However, she soon how far he will go to protect people. His body could be covered by scars, cuts, and battle damage that had been given to him by his enemies. The video she was given was just the start being that she soon began research on him by stalking him.

She did know about his natural radar aka Crisis Judgement so she kept her distance. She knew his age and what school he goes to. She didn't know his secret identity but it was male. She watched all known recordings of his fight being that she spent most of her free time looking at him. Quietly, she began to stroke the side of her phone, biting her lip as she did so. "Zero" was handsome being that his power could rival the gods but he uses for the people.

She knew that he wouldn't feel the same being that she would need to pay for her crime. She's still a woman and she loves a forbidden romance. His eyes were also a good feature for him. She smiled brightly as her body shuddered. Carmen made a vow to herself to kill Zero being that she wanted to make it slow and painful. Thomas soon saw that her smile was causing some blood to fall from her mouth. "Zero. I feel bad for you somewhat. You've got the craziest stalker." thought Thomas.

Meanwhile back in Cypress Park, Drew was currently working. He may be an evil mastermind but he still ran a business. He soon heard the door open as he said,"What are you doing here? I thought you wouldn't show your face to meet.". He soon looked up to see Derrick Price standing there. "It's good to see you again. I came to talk with you about your henchman." said Derrick. "Which one? I have a lot of men." said Drew. "The one who attacked the Thanksgiving day parade." said Derrick.

Drew sighed as he said,"I didn't hire him. He wanted Zero dead so he asked me if he could. I just let him run wild and look what happened.". "Did you know that he was an alien?" said Derrick. "Does that really matter? I thought your men would have find where Zero buried him or whoever his puppet was." said Drew. "We couldn't find the alien but we found his host. Countess Chimera is working her magic on him to see where he could be." said Derrick.

Drew soon looked up from his laptop as he said,"Speaking of Countess, how is her plan working? Is she almost done? She's been wasting too much money.". "It's coming to completion according to her but all of us are getting impatient." said Derrick. "Anything else you want to tell me?" said Drew. "It is just a rumor but someone calling themselves Mastermind is planning something. Be prepared." said Derrick. The man was gone as the gold skinned man thought about it.

Drew soon turned to see Carmen and Thomas walking into the room. "Wow. That guy is really cold even more than you frosty." said Carmen. "Funny girl. So what's the plan boss? We can't let a single bit of our control fall from right under us." said Thomas. "We'll be making contact with this guy by the name Mastermind. We'll pretend to be his friends and once we find out his plan really is, we will be taking anything that could be useful to our plan." said Drew as the two villains nodded.

Carmen said,"So do you want me to tell the Odium Society about this plan?". "We're keeping this a secret from the Odium Society because of their true purpose right boss?" said Thomas. "Correct. Are you okay with this Carmen?" said Drew. "Yeah. I mean if I can get my hands on that cutie hero Zero, I'll be just fine." said Carmen. She was soon gone as Thomas said,"That video messed her up. She had a major mood whiplash involving Zero. She isn't a teenager anymore but she's acting like one.".

Drew said,"To convince her to join our faction, the Odium Society made her a little video. It was of a fight that Zero was in two years ago being that he was being brutally beaten by some messed prison guard and her pets plus the acid warden. She loves people who are tattered and reek of death from battle so we got a powerful ally.". "I see. Do you need anything else boss?" said Thomas. "Yes. Care for a game of pool?" said Drew. "Sure boss." said Thomas.

Next time,
Who is Mastermind? Is he a threat to both the Odium Society and Zero? Is he an anti-hero or villain that doesn't play by the Odium Society's rules? Who else will join Zane's Harem? Will Carmen get her hands on Zero? Is she creepy? Will we learn more about Uriel? What else will happen this Holiday Season in Cypress Park? This and More next time on Zero.

New Cards/Forms:
Quantum Form. This card has a black frame with the symbol for quantum energy in the center of it. When Zane places this card inside, Zane becomes living energy. This form is very much a mixture of Atomic and Radiation Form.
