Zero Episode 117 The potential revealed (Full Post)

A/N: You may have noticed that I've changed up Episode 114, 115, and 116 to be slightly different with Danny being the main focus of the battle between Blaze's group and Team Maelstrom. This is because I wanted Danny to kick some but for Rachel and Zane who couldn't compete. However, it wasn't Zane who showed up in the very end but Wolfram. Danny did all that he could but he failed in the end despite his metagene activating.

The last episode showed that while Team Maelstrom could have won, they lost thanks to the Reaper Powder which defeated them before in the past. I honestly didn't plan for it but it showed up. The reason why I did this is because I wanted to make the climax being Zane vs Blaze being that he went missing at the end of the episode. Wolfram told Danny where Zane went being that while the characters can understand him, the audience cannot.

You can only understand him when he's in either his humanoid wolf form or human form. Lets just say that I planned for this from the start since I want to keep you wondering what he said. I could go back and try to fix this but nah. This episode will have Zane showing his full power and the potential that he unlocked. This fight will be extremely overpowering and showing Zane's full power being that it'll be painful toward Blaze.

I always enjoy a good beatdown being that when an author makes a totally terrible character and then has another kicking the bad character's ass is so worth it in the end. I had just finished watching One-Punch man a couple of weeks ago being that I'm excited for the second season. Don't get wrong though. I find the parts without the fighting to be rather disappointing but the fights were a visible spectacle.

Saitama ,while an overpowered characters, works being that I would love to see him in a Death Battle one day. I don't know who he would face but it would be an interesting fight to watch. I enjoy Death Battle for the fights rather than the facts because to me, it's more fun and also you don't have to deal with people who basically say that Death Battle is wrong and here's why. I always find those types to be really sad because you're wasting your time taking pot shots at something that's made for fun.

I often wondered why people would waste time complaining about something and I hope that it isn't just for clicks. You should do what you want to do rather than hate on something. If you dislike the outcome of a fight, that's okay. It's just one opinion and not the definite answer. I may change this mindset of mine but who really knows? Back to my point, Saitama does a good showing of a beatdown for me.

While I think that most of the characters other than a couple of them are undeveloped at least within the anime, their fights are interesting. I enjoy a good curb stomp battle trope plus there is no kill like overkill trope. One of my favorite example of the latter is when Jose basically tries to kill them with a giant cannon and then a mecha. He doesn't win in the end but that was so cool. I'm a huge fan of explosive fights but I'm not one to ignore a good story.

In the case of Curb-Stomps, I think Asta and Yuno's fight for the magic knight exams were really good at this because it shows that commoners aren't weak like the rich and nobles think. I may not be a fan of Yuno because he's too perfect. I mean I've read all of Black Clover being that I can't find a single flaw of his. I mean I'm not a fan of truly perfect character even thought Zane is that type of character. He however has flaws being that his loyalty to his friends can blind him.

This is just a justification I understand but I'll admit that I really don't care. I also love a good No Holds Barred Beatdown being that one of my favorite examples is Fairy Tail. It's when Minerva wrecks Lucy in the Grand Magic Games and that was just good to watch due to my hatred of the character. It's the one of the good things that I remember about that arc because all I remember is the dam time travel which annoys me.

I'm not a sadist ,I don't think but who knows, because I don't like watching people in real life getting hurt. One of the reason why I like that scene is because we then get a great curb stomp of Sabertooth. I'll go more into details later in Fairy Legion. I should probably begin already since after this episode, there will be a lot of information revealed about Zane's power so expect four to five posts just dedicated to him.

It's an updated version of the post from the last time I did this being almost a year ago. That's kinda said but at the same time, I've enjoyed all of the work I've done in the past year so anyway, lets begin with Zane who we saw little of last episode.

Zane P.O.V.
I was laying back on my bed being that it had been two days since my team's fight with Blaze being thanks to the gods and fate fucking me over, my friends were defeated and Rachel lost her freedom to Blaze. After I saw what happened to Danny and the others, I secretly had Wolfram sneak into the arena. I could tell that for once in my life, my dog wasn't happy. When I saw Danny getting beat up brutally by Blaze, I had to leave the room.

He was trying to be like me and honestly, I don't even know what I should say about the whole thing to begin with. I'm proud of Danny for standing up to his enemies and defending Rachel's honor but he was on death's door. Once I left the booth, I had flown out of the arena where the game was held and just flew off to an abandoned section of Terrarune. I unleashed my anger onto anything that came close to me, nothing was left except for ashes.

I soon returned home with me hearing from Ivan who called me to tell me that my team was being healed by the Alliance. They would have been healed at the arena but thanks to the Powell family ,I think the eldest daughters Astrid and Chloe, pratically banned the group from being healed there due to them deciding to help the mistake. When I heard this, I punched the nearby wall and broke it with a single punch.

I couldn't even look at them because instead of fighting with them, I was forced to watch just because of what Spiro did in the past. He let them down. Out of their injuries, Danny had suffered the worst being that most of his ribs were broken along with his arms. He was moving around according to Kevin's texts but I just can't go see them. I had barricading myself in my room being that I had been alone for these past two days.

According to Kevin's texts, they were at the engagement party since it was always scheduled before the game and they asked me to show up. I couldn't leave my room until I get rid of some of my anger that's a result of me being mad at myself for just letting my friend get hurt while I just sat there, doing nothing but drink. I just need to be alone for now being that I get mad whenever anyone of my friends are hurt in a way I don't like.

I just lose myself to my anger, causing me to make rash decisions. I have both agoraphobia ,the fear of public spaces and crowds to an extend, and atychiphobia, the fear of failure. I don't like to fail anyone being that right now, I failed my friends. "So how long is this pity party of yours going to last Zane?" said Sivarth. I looked down to my left hand and it was glowing crimson red. "Just shut up Sivarth. I failed." I said,

Sivarth was silent as I said,"Do you think I'm just going to get over this easily?! I was able to forgive Malik aka the reason I lost my right arm but not this! Rae is going to start a life that she hates just due to her family being monsters! They're not her family! This is wrong!". I fired a giant beam of Tyrannus Nether out of my mouth, making a massive hole in the roof. It slowly repaired itself with Sivarth saying,"And what are you going to do about it Zane?".

I was quiet this time around as Sivarth said,"Partner. I have a great deal of respect in you. You were able to use Tyrannus despite at the time being a novice when it comes to your powers. I know that when you're at full power, nothing can stand in your path. I'll leave you alone to sulk and just know this. While you sit here and complain about the past, the present is here and now. You can save Rachel from this fate so grow the hell up!".

The glow was gone from my hand as I sighed. He was right but I needed to do something first before I go and fight. I was soon sitting on the floor in my room with me in the Burmese posture. I had complete silence being that I could feel my power radiating off my body and through the tower. I'm sure that anyone with an inkling of standard willpower could sense me doing this. Whenever I let my power go wild like this, it causes animals to react in fear of a clearly powerful threat.

I'm wearing my typical lounge wear being that I was breathing slowly. Every time I close my eyes, I just see my friends getting beating up by Blaze and his group of devils alongside the time that Toxic destroy them protecting me. Both of these times were so close together and I just watch both of this happen. I'm so pathetic. I soon heard a calm, serene female voice and I didn't know who this voice belonged to but right now, I didn't care.

The voice saying,"Don't beat yourself up like this Zane. No one in this Omniverse is perfect. You know this. Humans have the power to do anything that they set their minds to. This is however despite them being the weakest species, humans were able to affect the Omniverse in a meaning full manner. Your friend Daniel did this by activating his metagene to make him into a true force for good just like his personal hero.".

I could be wrong but I think the voice stopped to let me think about who his personal hero is and honestly, I don't think I deserve to be that hero if it's me. "He doesn't regret losing to Blaze because he gave it a hundred percent to win just like you have done throughout your life. Prove the devils wrong is your first step to getting her back from the devils. You'll then show the Omniverse what the name Zero should truly mean." said the voice. 

After that, I was then blinded. I saw that I was no longer in my room but in an empty white void. It's like my mindscape expect I saw several cloaked and hooded figures ,being easily over fifty of them, sitting in wooden pews. All of them were currently radiating negative energy and it felt toxic to me. I heard,"You claim that you'll defeat Skull Plague but you can't. Your reliance on your friends is holding you back from your true potential so get rid of them.".

It came from one of the hooded figures. I wasn't sure which one said it but I think all of them thought the same as the one who spoke out against me. "I will because unlike you guys, I didn't die by Form Morpher like most of you losers." I said. These ninety plus hooded figures were all of the past Zeroes being that they've appeared inside of my mindscape ever since I opened the Omni-Door earlier. A couple of them weren't here but the ones missing are the good ones.

The majority of the deceased ,male, females, and every gender in between, have been giving me crap since then. You know about your inner voice or conscious right? It's like that but instead one person telling you what to do and what not to do, it was ninety plus people chiming in with their own and usually negative opinion toward me. Trust me, it's hard to tune them out being that they wanted me to kill Megan a few weeks. I didn't but I was real temped to.

After all of this, I think I'll ask Leif or Parker to get them to shut them up. I'm getting off point since they're talking again. "Then why couldn't you stop Blaze from beating up your friends? He's a lowly devil compared to you!" said a Zero. Their resentment toward the Omniverse and the hatred for the beings that were jealous of their power is a overwhelming force. "Didn't you die by a devil when you slept with his wife?" I said, crossing my arms.

The Zero ,being Zero #71, grumbled something as one of the hooded figure stood up. This was the leader of the group with the figure saying,"Embrace your hatred child! Storm into the devil's castle and kill them all. You'll be the tool to exact revenge on this cruel and unfair Omniverse!". I couldn't see who was under the hood since they're pretty much shells at this point being resentment and anger toward everyone around them. It's kinda sad to be honest with you.

The leader of the congregation is Hyde being that while he may be alive as a Phantom, he was still a Zero except he was the worst of the worst. They were chanting something being that I couldn't do a thing to stop them. I looked down to see my lower half covered in pure darkness and I was unable to break out. This obsidian black darkness is the resentment and anger in a corporal form being that it's one vs ninety six with the odds clearly against me.

Their constant negatively had been getting the better of me ever since I opened that door and well with me just watching Blaze and Toxic hurting my friends while I did nothing, I couldn't do a damn thing to stop them. "Don't give up older me!' said a voice. Despite the darkness covering my entire body, I could still see and hear a boy's voice. It belonged to someone easily under ten years. I tried to look toward the voice but my eyes were blinded by the darkness.

A light shined through the darkness covering my body being that I saw myself when I was four years old. He looked like I did when I went back to the past with Hourglass aka Zero Episode 79. Huh, my mom and the girls were right about this. I was a pretty cute kid. You keep hearing that from people but you know what they say. You really are your own worse critic. He looked right at me with him punching me in the gut.

The younger me said,"Look at you me! You're not what I wanted to be at all! I mean remember what daddy told us. Boys and girls don't cry and mope around! We get back up and fight to protect the ones who treasure! You live by that code right?!". "He's right Zane." said a new voice. The little me or mini me soon had Ryoka standing there. "He's right. Out of every Zero, you've always overcome the odds no matter what side you were on." said Ryoka.

I was silent as the hooded Zeroes nearby us chanted out,"Don't listen to them Zane. They're nothing but the representation of your weakness that holds you back from getting revenge on those who mock our power!". Ryoka soon wrapped her chains around the area that contained the hooded Zeroes, engulfing them in a pillar of black ice and preventing all sound coming from them. "Okay. I think the first version of us is really cool older me." said younger Zane.

I nodded as Ryoka said,"Shut up you old fools. You make me and Leif disgraced to call myself a Zero being that all who came after are pathetic. Abe, Vito, and Zane are the only ones I respect. Zane, look all around you. You need to see something importing. This is your potential.". I soon looked around me to see images and memories of the past two years, both good and bad so look at Zero Episode 1 to now. I saw me being a hero, saving people and fighting bad guys.

I smiled at this sight. "Zane. I don't know what man you're going to be but when you grow up but I do know this. You're going to be a man who others respect and try to be like." said Shawn's voice. My dad told me this when I first began using my Nether for the first time. I didn't care back then but I do know. Kinda weird. "Your potential is connected to your friends that give you strength and give them strength. It's the reason why you fight." said Ryoka.

She smiled as she said,"You're the first Zero to grow stronger for an unselfish reasons. Accept your greatest power. It's the bond that you share with the people you've made. It's your greatest power after all.". She vanished as child me hugged me. The darkness around me was slowly vanishing as young Zane said,"Go show those old farts how Zane Vincent Alvarez does things already and go win back Rachel's freedom! You're the hero I'm going to be so yeah!". After saying that, he vanished.

I soon saw that the other Zeroes had broken out of their icy prison. "You must use your powers for yourself and only yourself! Annihilate those who stand in your way." said the zeroes. "How about you old fucks just shut the hell up and move on?! I'm not longer your puppet. Your pure negatively won't control me any longer! I'll defeat Skull Plague with the power of my friends by my side. My first goal is defeating Blaze and saving Rachel from her fate." I said.

They growled at me with me saying,"Sorry but I can't hear you. Did you say that you'll give up and go to the Astral Realm and out of my head?". Their energy went flying toward me being that I just smiled. The energy was blocked by a translucent sphere being the size of a basketball and I looked right at it. I could easily holding it within my palm being that I could see swirling black, crimson red, dark indigo, molten gold, steel gray, and turquoise energy within.

I soon rushed toward it with me saying,"My name is Zane Vincent Alvarez. I'm Legion Zero! I'm the ultimate protector for good! I'll be the one to kill Skull Plague and protect my friends! My friends give me strength and I give me strength! It's an equivalent exchange! Lets show everyone in the Omniverse how I rock and roll!". I grabbed the orb and tossed it back at them destroying the negative energy and Zeros.

I then saw that I was still inside of the white void but to look at the positives here. The negative energy and Zeroes are no longer here. "You did good Zane. You may be the most inexperienced and youngest Zeroes I've seen either in terms of the romantic conquests or battles. You're easily the strongest Zero without question. It seems that my husband, the male Vulcorian, and the last living Chirotirian made the right choice giving you their powers." said a new feminine voice.

I looked around the void being that I smiled and said with my hands behind my head or arms behind my hand,"Thanks Azalea. I'm sure that you're still recovering from being lost in the Infinite Void for so many years but I'm sure your honey wants to see you after being apart for a long time.". I soon turned to see the wife of Sivarth Rezarod, the Eradication Akostar standing there. She’s a huge or gigantic dragon being slightly smaller than Sivarth.

This isn't saying much since Sivarth is about ten meters tall or maybe even bigger. She looks like a Western Dragon. Her body is covered in ocean blue scales with her belly and the inner portions of her long tail being pink. Her back has maroon covered spines with it going down her back to the end of her tail which is a long spade-tipped prehensile tail. Her head is triangular shape with two platinum horns and large and round turquoise eyes being that her pupil is bigger than a tall human.

She has large and sharp canine teeth coming out of her mouth and razor-shaped diamond claws. She has two fairy like dragon wings with rippled tips and smooth edges. There is a sharp claw at the end of each wing with four hind legs. "I'm sure he does and he cares about you. He told me once that you shouldn't be ashamed of your weakness. You make a mistake yes. Doubting the royal devil and the fallen Zero is a foolish mistake but it won't stop you from victory." said Azalea.

I sighed as I said,"Well yeah. I'm not going to deny my weakness toward my friends. I'll give my all to fight anyone who dares hurt them. Those old fools may get the better of me this time but well, I won and they lost. They're nothing more than brats despite being than me. I mean I'm still young so what's their excuse?". Azalea smiled with her saying,"I think all beings act childish at time in their lives. My husband did that when he was young. He was quite the hot mess.".

I chuckled as I said,"And while I would love to hear those stories, got any advice for me before I get going.". "Yes. You're very strong being able to carry several powerful beings inside of you and use their powers to protect those weaker than him not to destroy others just because you're a good being. I speak for all of you in inside of Zane or a member of Team Legion Zero. You will have to act swiftly in rescuing the young devil from her fate." said Azalea.  

I soon saw several images from the Domination match with clenching my fists. I soon sprouted my stingers with my skin getting pierced and candy syrup dropping onto the floor. "Yeah. Thanks for reminding me of my goal Azalea." I said. "Before you go, I have to tell you something. Would you believe that Kane, Lucifer, and Sivarth asked me to make sure that you aren't acting like a whiny baby anymore." said Azalea.

I smiled as I said,"Yeah. Those guys care for me since I'm like their little brother. They have a lot of faith in me just like my friends. I won't let them down. Oh. I'm sure that they deny that I'm like their little brother but I know the truth.". The white void and Azalea were fading around me being that I was waking up. I was soon back in my room and I smiled. I had the power to free Rachel from Blaze and well, I was going to make the devil pay for taking her from me.

Narrator P.O.V.
Zane sat upright to see that he had been in the white void which Zane calls his mindscape for a good couple of hours. He entered around noon he thinks but now, it was night. It was made obvious thanks to the moon lighting the room. He soon saw the glow of a magic circle appear being that it belonged to her. Gayle stood there with Zane saying,"So are you here to deliver a message from Blaze? I'm already going to sock him in the face for hurting my friends so just leave.".

Gayle smiled with her saying,"It seems that Danny and Lady Rae were worried for nothing. I wanted to say this. Your friends were great out there and I'm not joking. No one other than your group have stood up to Blaze and survived to live another day. Your team did good in Domination despite being first time competitors. Well done in picking them.". "I didn't expect you to have a nice side to you but I guess even the most stoic has a bit of kindness within them." said Zane.

Gayle sighed as she said,"As you know clearly, Lady Rachel surrendered in order to keep Lord Blaze from killing Danny.". Zane shook his head to clear the memories of that devil hurting his best friend or brother with him sighing. "Yeah. Don't need to remind me about that. I guess my blind faith in the strength of my friends blinded me to the fact that Domination favors those who will do anything to win the dishonorable way rather than the honorable way." said Zane.

Gayle looked at Zane with her saying,"Lord Blaze may have been declared the victor but the devils and the Omniverse saw the once mistake of the Akostar Clan act and be like her older brother in many ways. His caring heart for one was apparent plus being able to find powerful yet interesting allies.". "Thank you for getting my friends to the Alliance to get healed. I'll make the Salamander Clan pays for hurting my team." said Zane.

He clenched his fists with him saying,"I'm extremely proud of my friends. They never gave up and Danny showed me that. He never gave up no matter how many times he was knock to the ground by Blaze and his group. He's a real man. So anything else you have to tell me? I mean you came here for a reason right?". "In my life, I've meet many kinds of people before finding my husband and you and him share something in common." said Gayle.

Zane smiled as he said,"Our charming good looks? Our wonderful personality?". "No. It's your gentle Essence or my husband's case, heart. You two both care deeply about others and once you set your mind to something, nothing can change it. Rachel is the same way. I can see why she likes you." said Gayle. Zane looked at her with him thinking,"Okay. It's weird to see someone like her act girly but she is a woman if her curves weren't obvious.".

Gayle soon made her magic circle appear in front of her. "I came here to deliver this to you." said Gayle as she held a piece of paper. "What is this?" said Zane. "An invite from Ignacio to his little sister's wedding." said Gayle. "You can't be serious Gayle. Why would Blaze allow her ex to come to their wedding?" said Zane. "You're not wrong. The engagement party is about to begin inside of the Salamander clan mansion. It's quite big being the size of Japan times ten." said Gayle.

Zane nodded as he said,"Yeah. To a normal person, that would be huge. However, my kingdom spans all of the Earth times one million. So why are you telling me this?". "I'm sure you're going to stop this wedding before Rachel becomes Blaze right? You reject this outcome don't you?" said Gayle. "You're dam right I do. Rachel isn't a object. She's a being of the Omniverse and she gave up her choice of marriage to the worst person in the Omniverse for her to protect Danny." said Zane.

Zane clenched his fists with him saying,"I'm her best friend and she puts others before herself even more than I do! She hates Blaze more than I do! I'm not going to let her life be ruined by her bastard siblings messing it up just because they were jealous of her power or whatever goes on!". Gayle soon chuckled softly with Zane thinking,"Oh. That was cute. I can't deny that at all. I guess the serious ones always do have the most cute laugh and sounds. Point to you Rico.".

Gayle smiled as she said,"I'm sure that you did your research on me and Rachel's family after you learned about the truth about who Rachel is. Ignacio has faith in you and so do I. I would give you a instant way there but you're not a fan of that aren't you?'". Zane blushed as he said,"Yeah. I rather not make my grand romantic gesture without puking of course. Total mood killer.". "Indeed. Ignacio says that Blaze is expecting a rescue attempt, be ready for a fight." said Gayle, disappearing.

Zane was soon left alone in his room with him taking a deep breath. "Okay. I'm ready to go but I hope that I'm not wrong about this. Rachel Powell likes me right?" said Zane. "Of course she does! Just get going and kick some ass already! We've been watching you mope too long!" said Kane with him shocking Zane a bit. "I know Kane. Thanks for reminding me about that. Since I'll be going out to battle for love, I better get changed for it." said Zane.

He glowed, changing out of his lounge wear and was ready for battle. He wore his Zenith Costume with him wearing the Legionnaire Gauntlets to replace his black and silver amplification metallic arm guards/vambraces. Over his costume, he's wearing his Enigma Talisman. This is the beautiful long double-breasted black cloak ,with a hood and velvet, with a large drawstring closure at the collar. On the back of the cloak, he has his superhero logo on the back.

This logo proves that he's Legion Zero, protector of Cypress Park and member of the Alliance after defeating Xiadur. He isn't wearing the cloth that comes with the Talisman and he didn't need to look like Zero due to a very simple reason. Everyone in Terrarune which includes the Supernatural District knew who Zane really was. Zane equipped Lazarus Soul with the powerful blade currently resting on his back.

Zane looked at himself with him saying,"Okay. I look good and totally ready for battle.".  He left his room with him thinking,"Rachel does like me. I mean Rachel's a very caring person but she obviously treats me differently compared to other guys like Allen, Danny, Kevin, and Leo.". Zane nodded with him thinking,"She loves romance even more than I do plus most girls don't usually  don't try to have sex with me when they need me to do a favor from me.".

His nose bled a bit as he thought,"I mean Roxy would do it as a joke but Rachel meant it. She really thought sleeping would get Blaze off her back but nope. Sierra is surprisingly incredible seductive. I doubt she's doing in on purpose but man, she's a seduction master!". He smiled as he wiped away the blood from his nose when he was remembering that memory of Rachel and Sierra's flirting in Zero Episode 114 and Episode 108 respectively.

Zane smiled as he thought,"Anyway.  I'm sure that Rachel likes me and I like her as a woman. I've seen many sides of her in the past nine years. Her brilliance, her nobility which I didn't know about until two weeks ago but who care about thats, her beauty, her kindness which rivals mine for being that she cares too much about those she cares about, and her stubborn temper. Sometimes, she's mature but other times she's childish." thought Zane.

He soon began thinking about the memories that he shared with Rachel over the past nine years when they were kids to now. "I hope that I'm not wrong with my judgement here. I also wish women were easier to understand at times." mumbled Zane. "You don't know how we feel and you're calling us complicated Zaney." said a familiar voice. Zane looked in his living room to see his harem sitting there.

Zane blinked as he said,"Oh hey there ladies. Didn't hear you all come in. So how are things with all of you? I'm just going out to see the......". Kristen shook her head with her saying,"Don't try to hide it Zane. We know what's going on.". "I wasn't going to hide it. I really was going out to see the moon at its peak." said Zane. The six looked right at him with him saying,"Well, I guess I suck at hiding my feelings toward you girls and I'm sorry for adding another girl to the harem. You must hate me.".

Karen smiled as she said,"Don't worry so much Zane. You're a Cross Species of seven different species so it only makes sense that you have seven loves. I'm just happy that you're back plus we like Rae.". She soon fiercely hugged him being that her face was buried in his chest. "Yeah. Sorry that I was in that depression. I let those old farts take advantage of me like I was their toy." said Zane with him slowly wrapping his arms around her.

The two were like this for a while with Roxy smiling. "So mind if I join in this hug you two have going on or what? I mean I'm not planning on fighting you to get in on that." said Roxy. Karen let him go with her soon dragging him to the couch. The girls soon sat around him with Rain said,"I know that you've been focused on a lot of things being that you've been ignoring the feelings of the women who love and share you.".

Zane said with a serious expression,"Yeah. Sorry about that you girls. I let my power obsession and loyalty to my friend blind me to your feelings. It probably won't happen again but I can't promise you ladies that. Right now, I need to go save Rae before she's married to the gecko and bring her back to Cypress Park. I'll probably be fighting a lot on my way so that'll be fun. I mean I have to get out my aggression in a constructive way aka punching that gecko hard in the face.".

Sierra smiled at seeing the man she loved back to normal. "Since you can obviously defeat monsters with ease, you need to promise us something." said Sierra. She slowly took off his cloak with him saying,"Okay. What is it exactly? I'm not going to pick up any more chicks I swear on my hopefully immortal life madams!". "Here's the thing. You may not show that you are injured but right now, you need to be healed with the power of love." said Sierra.

She pressed her chest against his back with him blushing. Rain soon sat on his lap with her saying with a bright red face,"Please don't be a baby Zane and wrap your arms around me. Roxy suggested that we do this naked but I don't think we're at that stage just yet.". "Yep and I'm good with taking things slow and steady because being that the turtle is way better than the hare. I would have liked that but later." said Zane, wrapping his arms around his actress.

Zane saw his arms being held by Karen and Kristen ,with the left arm going to Karen and right arm going to Kristen, who said,"Don't worry Zane. We love you.". Roxy smiled as she said,"And don't you forget it handsome.". "You may never show it sugah but you show fear around us since we started dating last year. I could never figure out why until Conner told us while you and the gang were training to save Rachel from her engagement." said Nova.

Karen looked right into Zane's eyes as she said with tears in her eyes,"The fear of losing us to your enemies is something that you can never stop thinking about. Is that true Zane?". "Yeah. I don't want anyone of you to be sad if I died which I totally won't. I also promised several people that I won't die any time soon so I won't." said Zane. Roxy soon shared in hugging Zane's back with Nova sharing Zane's lap with Rain.

Zane smirked as he said,"Oh wow. This is really nice. The Zeroes who died by jealous lovers are totally jealous of me right now even though I stopped hearing their bitching. Totally annoying as well. Is it weird that I love women despite being a species that has no gender?". "It's fine. I love you Zane. I want to be with you ever since we were in middle school. I can't see my life without you. All of us admire you and many people feel the same. Rachel is feeling the same I bet." said Karen.

Sierra smiled as she said,"You saved me from my father being that we didn't even know each other for a day. That's when I begin to fall for you.". "You gave me the passion to give my all to my dream of being an actress back when we were kids." said Rain. "You were the first person not to judge me by my money." said Roxy. "You didn't judge me Zane just because I had powers and treated me nicely." said Nova. "And you didn't care who I really trying to be." said Kristen.

Zane smiled with him saying,"I love all of you girls being that I'm sure that you're going to be my side forever. Giving me strength even once time separates us. All of my friends, family, and everyone I've met and care about are my strength. I will get a part of my strength back from that Cocky Gecko and the devils. I promise to be there with all of you being the man who you love.". Zane soon hugged all of them with him giving them a kiss. "Okay. I'll be back so cheer for me loudly." said Zane.

The girls smiled and said in unison,"Go kick his but Zaney.". Zane nodded as he stood up and opened up a portal to the Supernatural District. He walked through the portal with it closing behind. Zane's portal reappeared in the Supernatural District with him making his cloak reappear. "I'm sure that I'll never under the feelings of women. Karen, Kristen, Nova, Rain, Roxy, and Sierra. Thanks for being my side and I hope I can live up to your expectations of me." said Zane.

He clenched his fists as he said with his wrists cracked,"I'm going to save you Rae because you're someone who I love with all of my Essence. A real man makes a promise to the people who cares about him, flaws and all.". Sivarth was crying with Cole saying,"Dude. Is the big bad dragon crying at Zaney's epic and totally heroic speech?". "No! I just have something in my eyes! Shut up Cole or I smack you with all of my ten tails at once!" said Sivarth.

Azalea giggled at Sivarth's embarrassment as Twilight said,"Ignore them Zane. I'll be there to support you as well.". "As will I Zane." said Athena. Zane smiled with him saying,"Time to kick some major but.". He soon took a step forward with Crisis Judgement went off. "Oh wow. The welcoming party is early and there is a lot of them. I mean I was expected a group but an army. Colored me impressed you fiery gecko." said Zane.

Kane chuckled as he said,"Yeah. They either expected you to come and stop the wedding being a major pain in the ass like normal. The Supernatural District does have a rule against Phantoms being there to begin with so this might just be the army that deals with the intruding species. I think it's time to fight. Zane. Show them what happens when you mess with Legion Zero for us you got it punk?".

Zane smiled as he said,"You don't need to tell me twice. I came here with a job to do and I'm not leaving until it's done. I also have some grievances to take with the Salamander Clan so lets give them a welcome.". He walked forward before breaking out into a sprint. He could see a horde of devils plus their servants heading toward him. "Time to learn your place against me you devils! Lets go Avenger!" shouted  He activated his Vulcorian powers and charged forward.

Meanwhile inside of the mansion, the engagement party between Rachel Powell and Blaze Ingram was about to begin. Terrarune was divided into two sections being that the biggest portion belongs to the Phantoms ,living in the Phantom District, and the rest of the supernatural lived in the other with the oh so clever name of the Supernatural District. It was quite the glamorous show being that most of the royal devils attended.

Inside of the room inside of the Salamander clan mansion, Rachel was currently looking at herself in a floor mirror and said,"This is just an engagement party so why in the nine realms am I wearing a wedding dress?". She was currently dressed in the same dress that she wore in Zane's dream aka Episode 114. I told you that I would reuse the design. Rachel sighed as she looked herself over. She looked beautiful being that she was going to wear for her dream wedding with the man of her choosing.

She was thinking that it was going to be Zane but the Omniverse had other plans for her happiness and she hated it. In the room, a couple of maids stood beside her. Before one of them could answer her, Rachel heard all too familiar arrogant voice coming out. "Because out future brother in law wanted it. I would say that you look beautiful dear sister but you're still the mistake after all." said the voice.

Rachel slowly turned around to see her older sister Astrid Powell and Chloe Powell standing there with Blaze by their side. They entered the room in a burst of Salamander's flames. Upon seeing the three devils she hated the most, Rachel could only clenching her fist. Both Astrid and Chloe are twins being that Astrid is the older twin by twelve minutes. The two devils looked to be about twenty three years old with their physical appearance being in the middle of Kurt and Lucius.

Like their younger sister, Astrid and Chloe were attractive devils. Astrid is a tall, slender woman with pale skin. It looked like she didn't get out much. Her copper red hair goes down to her waist with her bangs swiped behind her ears and was exposing her forehead. She has green eyes. Her feminine curves are slightly smaller than her twin sister and was actually smaller than Rachel. Just another reason to hate her sister am I right? No it isn't.

Astrid is the tallest daughter of the Akostar Clan so that's something I guess. Astrid is wearing a light pink/white long sleeved sweater with it exposed her chest thanks to an opening in the sweater. She wore this with a white skirt that goes to the middle of her thighs and high-heeled brown sandals. She's wearing very noticeable black eyeliner around her eyes. Chloe is a short, slender woman with cream colored skin. Her copper red hair is styled in a more masculine manner compared to her sisters.

She had her hair in a high sleek and braided ponytail with the end of it going to the middle of her back. She has green eyes like her siblings being slightly brighter than Astrid's eyes. Like mentioned before, she's slightly bigger in the terms of curves compared to Astrid but smaller than Rachel. She's also the shortest daughter of the Akostar Clan. She's wearing a blue tank top with her modest but noticeable chest being front and center.

Her legs are covered by skin tight gray pants with a crimson red stripe. She's wearing calf high pumps. It's texture and appearance similar to yoga pants but were jeans. Fashion is weird. She's wearing silver hoop earrings. Blaze's wearing a white tuxedo with a red bow tie and black dress shoes. "Lord Blaze. It's back luck for the groom to see........." said one of the maids. Chloe raised a hand to silence her as she said,"Shut up before I feed you to the creatures who lives in the moat.".

The maid gulped in fear as Astrid said,"Calm down sister. This foolish maid thinks the way she does thanks to those stupid human superstition that our dear sister filled her head with probably. We'll be gone soon but Blaze wanted to have a quick word with his bride in private with just up. Leave or I'll let my sister's threat go through.". As the maid left the room, Blaze walked up to Rachel with the youngest devil in the room backing away.

Rachel crossed her arms as she said,"I'm sorry sis but I'm not Blaze's bride.". "Oh but you will soon enough. We'll be making a good impression on the devils race to let the entire Supernatural District about our union and then phase two will begin." said Blaze. He touched Rachel's shoulder with one hand and her chin in another. Rachel shivered upon his touch being that despite him having the power of fire, his touch felt cold and nothing like Zane's touch.

According to Gayle, Zane had shut himself in his room after the match. Rachel knew her best friend and how he was blaming himself for letting his friends get hurt by Blaze and his group. "What's phase two?" said Rachel. "Oh. I guess we should tell her shouldn't we since she's so involved in our little plan." said Chloe. "Fine. Go ahead because she can't do anything to stop it. I'm still mad that she is wearing the dress that belongs to our dear mother." said Astrid, crossing her arms.

Blaze soon chuckled as he said,"After our wedding beloved, I plan to have the five devils clans and the entire Supernatural District aligned together in a single goal. We're going to attack the kingdom of Phantoms and end their rule. No longer are we going to be under the thumb of those ghosts. We're the strongest species and soon, the Phantoms will be nothing more than servants under our rule.". Rachel looked at Blaze and then her siblings with her saying,"Fuck you all.".

Her voice was filled with venom with her trying to mimic Zane the best she could. "You don't get it do you? Even if your stupid plan works, you have to fight against Spiro and Zane. Those two are the strongest Phantoms plus you have to deal with the guard of Spiro Midnight plus the other powerful Phantoms." said Rachel. Instead of getting mad, Blaze just smiled while Astrid and Chloe were livid at their sister insulting their plan.

Blaze lightly slapped her cheek twice with him saying,"Don't worry my dear. I'm sure that you still show feelings toward him but I'll be the better being. I'll leave him alone but scarred for you to have him as a cicisbeo. However if you show him any more affection to him than you do to me, he'll be nothing more than ash. Goodbye for now beloved!". He turned away and walked away, taking both Astrid and Chloe in a vortex of flames. For those who are curious, here's what a cicisbeo.

Rachel was left alone with her saying,"He's so generous isn't he? I wonder what he would say about all of this.". "Oh wow. You're so nice you sexually confused gecko. I may know what a cicisbeo but I'm not that." said Zane's imaginary voice in her head. She giggled and imagined her imaginary Zane would have punched Blaze in the face and then hit him in the family jewels after his insult just to add insult to injury. "Zane. Everyone. I'm going to miss you but I'll never forget you." said Rachel, crying.

She thanked Zane for letting her being herself to be just a normal girl who wants her to be herself standing there. She soon saw the image of Zane smiling appearing in her heart as she heard one of the returning maids,"Lady Rachel. It's time.". The devil wiped away the tears being that she was about to head toward her future. She accepted her fate not knowing that her fate was about to change being that it was going to change for the better.

In the large hall belonging to the Salamander clan, it was currently ordained with spectacular and flame like decorations to celebrate the joyous occasion of two people unifying through marriage. An arranged one yes but it's still a marriage regardless. The guests ,being very high ranking devils or supernatural species except for the Phantoms, were scattered throughout the enormous hall, with the main conversation being about the upcoming wedding.

Another topic was how it's going to effect the future of the five devil clans and also what the future had lead them. If you were to walk through the hall, you would hear this for sure but one voice stuck out from the wrong reasons. This is because her voice is loud enough to be carried through the entire hall as she spoke and also through Terrarune because it was so loud. It made Hannah Grant's voice look quiet and thankfully, the glass inside of the room didn't shatter.

The voice belongs to Avril Ignram. She was surrounded by the other members of Blaze's team ,except for the king aka Archie, queen aka Rhoda, and Sonja, with her boasted to anyone nearby her ,usually not by their choice, about her brother's recent victory in Domination. You may be wonder why I bring the three missing devils up being that it will have an outcome in due time. With her fan covering her mouth, Avril said,"Of course we would win!".

She soon laughed,"After all, we were up against the mistake of the Devils and her group of unlucky misfits! He had to made it like he was going to lose to keep us entertained!". Some of the guests gave her a look that said,"You're full of shit.". The entire Omniverse saw the game where the mistake and her team were able to get Blaze's team to their final member of Blaze.  On the other side of the hall, Team Maelstrom ,with Sly and Wolfram in their human form. stood there.

Wolfram was currently in his human form since he's a Phantom and they're hated in this section of Terrarune. All of them were dressed in their best evening wear and they were unable to tune out the devil's boasting despite drinking alcohol from wine glasses. Despite all of them being underage, the devils didn't care about those silly humans drinking laws. All of the group wanted to hit them with the one who was still covered in bandages still held a serious grudge against her.

The mummy was Danny being that it took him the puppy dog eyes from himself, Leo, and Wolfram to get him to show up. "She's quite the character. I thought she would be too embarrassed to come here after the beatdown that she had suffered at our hands. Really lethal dude." said Allen, drinking from his drink. "Yeah but she totally had it coming." said Jordan, getting Gwen and Heidi to agree from her.

Leo while eating some cake and in a fancy dress due to his love of feminine clothing said,"So when no one's looking, we going to attack her right? I mean I don't like hitting women whatsoever but she's annoying.". "I like that idea but instead, we should make her fall in a puddle of mud." said Kevin. "I like Kevin's idea better because she's filthy." said Wolfram. Sly nodded as she heard,"Sorry about my sister's mouth. She gets it from our brother.".

The group soon turned to see Archie with his wife Sonja by her side. "So why are you two here? Are you here to make fun of us since we lost to Blaze despite us having the advantage for most of the match to begin with?" said Sly. "Yeah. My boyfriend here won the MVP title after all." said Gwen with Danny nodding. Due to the bandages around his body, he couldn't talk despite his body clearly feeling fine and getting stronger.

Much to his joy, his metagene activated and he grew stronger. "It isn't that Sly. I just wanted to say that we had a good match despite our queen cheating to win and our ace being the typical he is." said Sonja. "I honestly wish the outcome was different." said Archie. "Archie and Sonja. Thank you for the support but don't be so quick to say that." said Heidi with a smile. "Our fight has just begin due to you guys pissing off a honest to goodness idiot." said Sly.

Suddenly, the raised platform at the end of the hall burst into flames as Blaze appeared. He was now wearing a white suit, unbuttoned all the way showing off his muscular chest. He had a massive smirk from his victory with him spreading out his arms to attract the attention of the entire hall. "So does everyone in your family love to show off?" said Kevin. "Unfortunately, you're not wrong at all. That's the normal behavior of the Salamander Clan. I'm the exception." said Archie, shaking his head.

Blaze said in a loud tone,"Greetings, renowned beings of the Supernatural District who are gathered here today. Today, we celebrate the union of the Akostar Clan and Salamander Clan.". His pompous voice went through the length of the hall. "And now, I present to you...." said Blaze, gesturing to the empty space near him. His magic circle suddenly appeared, revealing Rachel whose eyes were closed in contempt.

Allen looked at the scene and said,"Despite her being forced to marry that monster, she looks really nice.". This earned the head nod of Danny and Kevin. Gwen and Heidi pinched Danny and Kevin's cheeks with Jordan and Sly sighing. Leo and Wolfram looked confused as Blaze said,"My beautiful bride Rachel Powell. May we have many joyful years by each....". The entire room shook thanks to a massive source of energy entering the mansion.

The chandeliers in the ceiling moved back and forth from the vibration of the energy entering of the building. Everybody in the hall could sense the source of energy even though they couldn't normally sense energy. Some knew this energy very well and they smiled. He was coming and he was pissed beyond belief being that he had a temper and pissing him was an extremely bad thing. Blaze looked around the hall and demanded,"What the hell is that energy and who does it belong to?!".

He wanted to know who was interrupting his big moment. There were soon the sounds of several explosions being that Danny just smiled. He removed the bandages around his mouth and said,"I think as a group, I'm sure that he can do this since he was unfortunately unable to shine thanks to some political bullshit.". "Sure. It took him long enough to get here but who cares?" said Sly. "I hope that prick gets what he deserves." said Leo, with Wolfram nodding in agreement.

Rachel stood on the platform being that she had absolutely no idea about what was going on. She only knew that one person would do something like this. Going into enemy territory that would lead to their death just to help one of their friends or family member. Instead of a prison ran by a corrupted warden, this person was crashing a party that was filled with distinguished and powerful devils. "That damn idiot. I really do love him." thought a joyful Rachel.

She smiled as she clamped her hand over her heart with it beating faster by the moment. Blaze on the other hand was livid being that no one in the room knew what was going on. "I demand to know who or what is ruining....." said Blaze. He got his answer being that the entrance to the hall was destroyed violently alongside the entire wall of that side of the hall. Large chunks of the wall fell to the ground as a gigantic, reddish black skinned fist tore through it.

It was making the wall ,which is able to survive one of Rhoda's explosions in one of her bad moods aka whenever Lord Blaze ignored her for his sister, look like paper being crunched. It soon pulled back through the large hole it made, quickly returning back to its owner. There was soon a loud kaboom with the front door exploding off their hinges, shocking everyone in attendance. A dust cloud blocked the view of the front door.

Blaze yelled with flames covering his entire body,"What?! Who dares?!". He was ignored but the party soon heard,"Sorry. I'm late but I wanted to destroy your house like you destroyed my house! It's karma bitch!". After the voice spoke its peace, Rhoda, the Ingram family's head security guard and leader of the elite guard of the Ingram family, and the rest of the elite guard came flying into the hall itself. They crashed into the ground, revealing themselves.

All of them looked badly defeated. The family's head security guard is a powerful Cerebrus being that it's a unique breed of Cerebrus. Its name is the Relinacoon being a female. Her name is Keagan and raised by the family for her entire life. She was raised primarily by Archie but was loyal to the entire family. She's a large dog like creature being that instead of having three heads like normal, she had nine heads. Her fur is black being that her eyes are bright red color but she looked different.

Each head had short, and very cropped ears being that all of them had enormous mouths, pink tongues, and long sharp teeth. She has short but thick legs with five gray claws that are extremely sharp. Like the Hydra, this Cerebus has the ability to grow three extra heads if one is sliced off. She can also regenerate any damage taken in battle. This is thanks to the flames of the Salamander Clan running through his veins. She can also shoot balls or waves of flames from her mouth.

The giant canine's body was covered in sparks with her body twitching. The elite guard of the Ingram family are all Minotaurs. They are all humanoid monsters with the head of bull. All of them were twenty feet tall with thick, muscular arms and chest. They have sharp fangs protruding from their two mouths and they all had their signature weapons of a large double-bladed axes. The weapons were bigger than an average sized human male. 

Said weapon is literally on fire thanks to their allegiance to the Salamander Clan. They normally travel in herds and will grow in strength if a member of their herd is injured. They were pursue the being who attacked the member of their clan that was attacked until they're nothing more than a puddle of blood on the ground. Avril and Blaze were extremely shocked to see Keagan, Rhoda, and all of the elite guard defeated.

Whoever did this is extremely powerful and foolish at the same time. "I'm real sorry that I'm late but wow. I had to travel all across the Supernatural District just to reach this place. I mean I have to fight against so many beings. I mean I was lucky to have my favorite bird, giving me a ride and then there was the welcoming party. The overgrown mutt, juiced up cows, and the devils here were so annoying but hey, I made it here." said the voice.

Something was flying through the smoke, dissipating the smoke in the process. There was a piece of paper in its right arm, covered in a metal gauntlet. The paper soon flew through the air with it being hit by a burst of flames. "They told me that I wasn't on the guest list which is so rude since I'm the fiancee's main squeeze! I should have received a VIP badge! Backstage Pass! But I got nothing! You are so going to pay for this you incest loving bastard!" said a voice. 

A giant ,about 6 feet and ride able, Pegasus flew into the room. It has elements of several different animals and a male flying horse. His body is a black color with a mohawk-like crest of hair that goes from the top of his head to the base of the neck of crimson red flames. He has several yellow spots with it completely covering his body. He has light tan hooves with brown eyes and gray duck like bill like muzzle with four noticeable tusk-like pinches to the four corners of his duck bill.

He had a green fur collar. He has a large dark red fan-like tail. He has two long, eagle like wings sprouting from his shoulders. The tips of the wings are crimson red. He has a brown saddle with black, red, and white patterns. He's equipped with silver armor. He's pulling a large red wooden chariot ,with red and white flame like decal, with two wheels. The most noticeable thing about the horse was that his nose was running.

On the chariot, Zane stood there and he said,"Sup! Sorry I'm late but I brought you two a wedding gift so I hope you can forgive me and my steed for being late for this shame of a wedding.". The horse gallop through the room, leaving behind flame footprints. "You!" yelled Blaze. "Me! I'm sure you know my name but I'm sure that you're just not saying it just to hurt my feelings. I'm hurt." said Zane with him crying a bit.

Blaze growled as he said with him glaring at Zane,"Can't you just stop being annoying for once in your pathetic life?! Your friends lost Rachel! She belongs to me! You are just a sore loser! Get out of here! You've interrupted my event and injured my subjects! I should end your pathetic life but I'm feeling generous.". He was annoyed that Danny ,a human/metahuman, survived against his fiery wrath and now, the most annoying being in the Omniverse is here at both HIS home and party.

All he wanted to do was force a beautiful girl to marry him and then later take over one of the nine realms of the Omniverse. Was that so wrong? Yes it is Blaze. Forcing someone to marry you is very wrong. "Okay. I'll answer all of your questions in order. Nah. Not feeling that. We didn't lose Rachel since there is always a chance to save a friend no matter what. I may be a sore loser but to me, I don't care. I'm not leaving." said Zane, crossing his arms over his chest.

Blaze's left eye twitched with him saying,"Who do you think you are fool?! This is an engagement between two great powers. You have no reasons to be here Phantom scum!". He clearly had enough of the Japanese American. Yes. Zane is Japanese American but he looks to be more American than anything else so he doesn't question people at all when they think he's called a normal Caucasian. His Japanese heritage is obvious thanks to Zara. Anyway back to the story.

Zane frowned with him saying,"Sorry but don't bring my species into this conflict. You've hurt my friends and forced one of them into something she doesn't want. That makes it MY business! My name is Zane Vincent Alvarez! Legion Zero! And I'm here to fight for her honor because Rae is my friend! I always fight for the people I care about and hurt the bastards who hurt them in any way possible!". He unfolded his arms with him cracking his knuckles loudly.

Blaze just growled at Zane, his patience getting weaker and Rachel blushed at Zane's words. Avril had something to say about. "So did you seriously come here to fight for the mistake? You know who my brother is right?" said Avril. "I did and I don't care about who your brother is. I know that you think he's the best but here's the thing sister. You're wrong. He's just a ugly bastard who loves his little sister which by the way is messed up most of the time." said Zane with him turning to face her.

Blaze shouted,"Enough of this nonsense! Rachel lost the game and we had an agreement! Now leave with your stupid horse!". The horse quaked as Danny said,"Did the horse just quack?". "Yeah. He just did and it's Buzz. Turns out the Elemowl is able to evolve into a Pegasus. I mean I was shock to see him but he did save me from those weird monsters that lived in the water around this place. I was almost eaten but that monster was given a pretty nasty case of heartburn thanks to me." said Zane.

Buzz smiled as Kevin said,"Dude. You really do make the weirdest friends.". "I do but it's way better than making boring friends and being the incest loving lord. Rae technically forfeit which must have your fragile male ego so happy didn't it? You couldn't accept that Rae wouldn't give up to you like everyone so you decided to throw a fit and attack a human, the weakest species. Honestly, you really want this man child leading you, let alone marry Rae." said Zane.

He smirked as he said,"I mean just imagine if they have a family dispute. What could happen to our favorite devil princess? And do you really think that an invasion against Phantoms would be a good idea? I mean Phantoms are more resourceful than you think. Me and a single Phantom horse tore right through your precious army. Do you think that the man child here would be a good ruler and leader? I mean all of you seen what happens when things don't go his way.".

Despite being a Phantom, the other devils and supernatural creatures agreed with Zane's statement and it showed in their faces. They also saw Blaze's behavior so what would happen if Blaze had a disagreement with someone? How would that work in the long run? Plus Buzz and Zane did come into the mansion with neither of them having a single wound on their body. Blaze saw what Zane was doing being that the seeds of doubt were planted in their heads, making him look bad.

First, Zane made him look a fool in front of Gayle with her being one of the strongest devils in recent history and now he made him look like a child. He couldn't allow this injustice to go on! He couldn't hold back his anger any longer with him throwing a fireball toward Zane. Zane just smiled with him saying,"Hook, line, and sucker!". He jumped in front of Blaze with him kicking away the fireball, covering his leg in Black Mojo.

It hit a giant chandelier and caused it to fall onto the ground, shattering into a million pieces. Anyone nearby it retreated a few feet away from the destroyed glass and the being in front of them with him having Mojo. Some of the older and matured devils knew about the Vulcorian but them still being around is impossible. This is due their species had been wiped along time ago. There were a couple of rumors floating around that two of them were still alive but they didn't believe them.

However, they were all pretty much scared of the creature that had arrived being that the Vulcorian were known for their destructive power. In the past, several brash and overconfident devils were killed by the Vulcorian so they were cautious. "Temper temper. You really need to cool down and I guess you all saw how he would treat his future wife. Poor girl isn't she?" said Zane. He pointed to Blaze with him shaking his head in a "tsk tsk" fashion.

This made Blaze completely pissed off being that he fell for the human's trap. Blaze was going to attack him with Zane stopping him. He looked right at Buzz who said,"Buzz. Would you mind going to the spot where I need you to go for me?". The horse nodded as he flew off with Zane holding an unsheathed Lazarus Soul. The blade was radiating power and he said,"Before you attack me, this is just the start of the beatdown you earned after hurting my friends! Zenith Slash!".

His blade was slowly gather Impulse, causing the blade to glow steel gray and covered in cosmic energy. He soon compacted the gathered up energy with the sword covered in an aura. He gripped his sword with his hands with the energy around the sword focus and rather strong. He swing the blade to the right, releasing the energy toward Blaze. It came out as a stripe with it curving to make an energy wave.

The devil flew out of the way of the attack, cutting the wall behind Blaze and Rachel was knocked on the ground due to the impact of the attack. She slowly stood back up as the windows that covered the hall were shattered from the energy with the room dead silent. "You don't belong here at all!" yelled Chloe as she was flying in the air. Zane looked up at Chloe with him sighing. He placed his blade on his back and smiled while cracking his neck.

Zane spoke with a smile,"So you're one third of the bastard siblings that got Rae into this mess in the first place. I've been waiting to do this for a while.". Before anyone could do anything, Zane jumped into the air and launching himself right toward Chloe. Zane's right fist instantly punched Chloe in the face, sending her flying into a wall and made a large crater around the impact. There was a cloud of smoke as well with the devil sliding down the wall and was out cold.

He looked around the room to find Astrid with him teleporting toward her thanks to one of his portals. He reappeared with him delivering a powerful uppercut to Astrid. This sent her flying into the ceiling but before hitting it, Zane appeared and hit with a spin kick to her stomach. This sent her crashing into a table, knocking her out. The devils stared at him in shock. He just destroyed two powerful devils like they were nothing. "Zane!" yelled Rachel as Zane turned to her.

She was so happy to see him being that he made Blaze look like a fool, hurt both of her siblings who abused her entire life, and just be his lovable self. "Rae! I'm sorry that I'm late but I'm here to make due on the promise I made you! That's what I'm good at! That and being an awesome hero but that isn't the point right now." said Zane. Blaze snarling at the young man who had disrupted the party and made him look like a fool in front of his important and esteemed guests. 

He had destroyed his mansion, destroyed several of his guards alongside his Phantom bird, and wrecked his siblings in law who are not slouches in battle. "What the hell are you doing here you bastard?!" snarled an angry Blaze. "Your ass is pretty much ash at this point but maybe my fist will make it clear on why I'm here. Rae doesn't belong to you even me! I love her but she's still her own person." said Zane.

Rachel blushed as Zane began walking toward the platform where the two royal devils stood there as Blaze whistled. "Guards and my group! Seize and kill him now!" yelled Blaze. Zane stopped with him seeing several guards ,being normal devils armed with energy spears, and Blaze's group except for Archie, Avril, Rhoda, and Sonja surrounded him with them looking ready to kill the intruder for making a scene.

Zane wasn't intimated by this scene and he said in a mocking tone,"I suggest that you all stay back because right now, I want to hurt Blaze. I'm sure that you don't want to mess with me or should I saw my team?". The devils were confused by this with them soon hearing a voice,"He's dam right. You best stand down unless you want to get wrecked by the Chirotirian.". One of the guards said with his spear now shaking in his hands,"The Chirotrian?!".

Another guard said,"Impossible! The Chirotrian are the ancestors to our proud race but they were wiped out!". "Silly devils. I'm Lucifer, your ancestor! My power of destruction is able to rival the Eazarian, Qlakrik, and Vulcorian!" said Lucifer. Zane soon made Lucifer appear behind him with the Chirotrian smiled. "He's right but him being stronger than me is impossible." said Kane and Sivarth from his left and right hand respectively.    

Zane sighed as he said,"Guys. Please focus. We're here for Rae not who is stronger between the two of you.". "Yeah. We'll have our fight later which I'll win Sivarth and Xazzaran." said Lucifer with the devils shocked. "The Eradication Akostar?!" said one of the party guest being a male. "He is in that boy's body along with Lucifer and Xazzaran?!" said a female. "How is that boy alive? Those three are monsters!" yelled another female.

Zane smiled as he said,"So what is it going to be? Trying to stab me and boil me alive or deal with a very angry Lucifer.". Lucifer smiled with him cracking his knuckles. The devils flinched as Blaze shouted,"Off with his head fools!". Despite their fear, they took battle stance as Zane smiled. "Well I tried to be peaceful. Lucifer. I know that you wanted to fight but I think I have the perfect way to end this fight. You don't mind right?" said Zane.

Lucifer smiled as he said,"Sure. You let me have fun with that overgrown dog earlier. Show them what happens when you mess with a god.". Lucifer went back inside of Zane with Zane smiling. "I THINK THAT IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO TAKE A NAP BEING THAT KILLING YOU ALL ISN'T WORTH MY TIME!" said Zane. Zane released a circular purple wave of energy, knocking them all out. Avril was shocked by this with her screaming out,"How did he do that?!".

Zane smiled as he said,"Because I'm clearly stronger than your brother.". Danny walked over to Zane with him saying,"Damn man. You really know how to make an entrance don't you?". "Yeah. You know me. Oh and Danny." said Zane. The two boys soon bumped fists with him saying,"Nice job during the game. You and the rest of the team proved to everyone that you're worthy of being on my team aka covering me. So just stay back and watch your later work.".

Danny looked confused with him soon seeing 6 minotaurs standing there with him saying,"Oh. I get it man. Sure but next time, I'm joining you. Got some new toys to try out.". "Yeah. I got you man. I won't have to hold back this time." said Zane. He turned toward Blaze and Rachel, intent to get her back and home. The minotaurs did try to get in his way, but Zane phased right through them and kept his intangibility active as they tried to slice him with their weapons.

Zane sprouted several arms from his back with Zane punched them to the ground. Nothing was going to stop Zane this time. Just as he got onto the podium and in front of the groom and bride-to-be, a line of ten devil guards stood in his way. The guests weren't happy at Zane and demanding answers from anyone who would listen. "Is this your doing?!" said a female. "What is the meaning of this Lord Blaze?!" yelled a male.

Zane responded to this by holding out his right hand and he made a Zenith Sphere in front of him with it being a purple color. "I really don't want to do this. Actually, I kinda do so how about you just stand out of the way before I blast you!" said Zane. The devils ignored him with Zane shrugging. "I tried to be peaceful." said Zane. Before either side could make a move, the presence of a new person stopped everything.

It was calm and noble but held authority and power that was impossible to ignore. "That's quite enough Legion Zero. Thank you for coming on such short notice. I didn't want this marriage to even happen but both of my idiotic siblings wanted to screw over my darling little sister so I asked the most current Zero for his assistance." said a voice. Ignacio stood there with Gayle by his side. His mantle now had armored plates ,about ten, five on each side, on his shoulders.

Rachel said in shock,"Brother?!". "Oh hey there your highness. Good to see you in person rather than your wife. I mean I like you Gayle but seeing the handsome king in person is something else." said Zane. Ignacio turned to Zane with him smiling. "You made quite a showing and my wife was right about your personality being something special." said Ignacio, enjoying Zane's charming personality the more time he's around him.

Blaze soon clenched his teeth with him saying,"Thank you for coming on such short notice? Lord Ignacio, what is the meaning of this?!". He was clearly annoyed. "It isn't important Blaze. I just want some fun." said Ignacio. "Okay. I like him and I'm not taking about how handsome he is. Before I go any farther, I need to do anything." said Zane as he cocked his left fist back. He soon punched Ignacio in the stomach, shocking the entire room.

Gayle held her husband with her losing her cool and she said,"Aren't you two working together to save Rachel from Blaze?! Why did you hit him?!". "You're working with him?!" said Avril and Blaze with both of them pointed right at Zane. "If you think about it, it makes sense that the one member of the Akostar clan who was heavily against this marriage would help her friends." said Archie. "Did you expect him to punch our king?" said Sonja.

Archie looked at his wife with him saying,"Nope but I'm sure that Zero has a reason for doing it and we'll know it soon enough or not.". "We are working together Gayle but he could have tried harder to prevent this. A family member should always protect their family with all of their might and always have their best interest at heart. Got it your highness? Plus he's the final third of the bastard siblings who got Rae into the mess. I don't leave things half assed." said Zane.

Ignacio nodded as he said,"He's right Gayle. Sister of mine. I'm sorry for failing you as a brother. I should have been there for you but no. I just let things happen.". "It's fine but you're pretty tough. I mean I expected you to fly like your other two siblings. Oh by the way, I'm not sorry for breaking this." said Zane smiling and got ready to fight for her. "What are you doing here?! I was promised your sister Ignacio!" yelled Blaze, not caring about him insulting or being rude to the devil king.

Ignacio placed his hand in front of Blaze's mouth, shutting him up. "I watched the game the other day with my true brother in law. To be honest, I feel bad for your clan. My sister lack experiences and a larger force in Domination but her and her friends were close to beating your experienced team. As a member of the very egotistic and pompous Salamander Clan, that was quite the show of failure in my honest opinion Blaze.". "Oh! He told you." said Zane, earning a glare from Blaze.

Blaze clenched his teeth with him saying,"The victory only matters in the end sir.". He didn't want to be remind of that game being that he wanted to move on his life. "Yes but you only won through my sister surrendering to save her friends. I do planning on convincing the higher ups to allow Phantoms to compete in Domination. I'm sure that if Legion Zero and his dog were allowed to compete, Rachel and her team would have won without question." said Ignacio.

Ignacio took a deep breath with him saying,"In fact, you couldn't defeat a mere human who was able to defeat half of your forces on his own including your monstrous queen Rhoda with a powerful blast of energy. You only won thanks to your enemy surrender. I don't think you should feel good about this since the public will see you as a man who can only win if his enemy surrenders.". Blaze soon growled being that he was being insulted once again.

Zane smiled with him saying while swooning,"Okay. I think I'm falling for your brother. Looks like you have a rival Gayle.". "So is Zane joking or is he serious?" said Cole. "Fifty fifty. It's Zane and he's a living enigma. Not even our creator can figure him out." said Athena. Ignacio turned toward Zane with him saying,"Blaze is such an embarrassment isn't he?". "Hey. You said it not me. So what's up? Want to kiss? I'm all for it but will those two be?" said Zane.

He pointed to Gayle and Rachel with both devil woman confused at Zane's actions. "Sorry but I love my wife Zane." said Ignacio. "Fair. I'm still open if you're interested." said Zane. "Since you brought this party some well needed excitement, thank you for showing up. It's highly unprofessional to have a party without any form of entertainment. Mind helping with that?" said Ignacio. "Sure. I always bring the party. What do you need me to do? Is it pissing off Blaze? I can do that." said Zane.

Ignacio chuckled as he said,"Nope. Since you were wrongfully robbed a fight with Blaze due to your species, how about you two fight? Sounds interesting doesn't it you two? You two are quite powerful but there comes a question. Who is stronger?". Blaze soon smiled being that he could make Zane look like a fool compared to him. He wanted to get rid of the stress that Zane was giving him which in the past few minutes, there was a lot of it.

Ignacio said with a smile,"The Indestructible Salamander vs Legion Zero. Our guests would like an all-out battle, no rules or restrictions between you two.". "If you want me to kick the ass out of this brat, I'm all for it." said Blaze, smiling at just the thought of burning Zane to a crisp. I think he was getting off on this but I'm not going to figure it out. Zane will instead. "Calm down. I know that the thought of burning me is turning you on but I'm not into that." said Zane.

Blaze growled at Zane with Zane saying,"You're going down since you're up against a real Akostar being that the salamanders are nothing more than a weak downgrade of them.". He punched his left fist against his right palm. Rachel didn't like this being that she flashed back to see Danny getting beaten up except this time it was Zane. Blaze was holding Zane by his shirt and burning him alive despite his tolerance toward flames and able to regenerate.

She wasn't there to stop Danny's beating but this one she was. "No! Wait brother! I refuse for him to fight against Blaze!" said Rachel. "Relax my beloved. Zero here is a big boy, he can make his own choices even if it's a stupid one." said Blaze. "I really do hate to say this but he's right. I want to do this and I'll be just fine. I promise Rae." said Zane. She looked in his eyes with her seeing the normal confidence in them that she loved with her unsure about the whole thing.

Ignacio turned to the crowd with him saying,"And just up to the ante, the victor shall receive three rewards of anything that his heart desires, compensation for your time of course.". "I need nothing since I got everything I want." said Blaze, putting his arm around Rachel and smugly smiling. "Don't do it Zane. Be the bigger person." said Twilight. "I know that but damn. He's just asking me to punch out some if not all of his teeth!" said Zane.

Ignacio said,"And what about you Legion Zero?". This room erupted once again mainly from the guests. "For him? You can't be serious brother! To give such a reward to a Phantom who hurt your dearest siblings is the worst decision you've could have decide! He should die!" yelled Chloe, flying over to the group on the main stage with Avril. Both devils recovered from Zane being that Ignacio soon walked over to them and hit them on the head.

Avril and Chloe looked at their older brother who was pissed off despite his calm expression. "You two need to stop acting like children. Rachel is our sister not the mistake! Our father is rolling in his grave at their behavior you're showing toward a member of our family!" said Ignacio, scarlet red energy aka Ardor leaking off his body. Both of the royal devils looked out from their brother with Ignacio turning toward the crowd and he said,"Quiet.".

The crowd was silent as Sivarth said,"He's got a presence doesn't he?". "Yeah." said Zane. "He may be a Phantom but that doesn't matter. He could have brought his entire army of Phantoms to wipe us out but he didn't. Be lucky that he spare your lives. I also invited him but we attacked him so a war may happen due to you fearing him." said Ignacio, causing them to gulp in fear. "So do you think you would ever do something like that?" said Lucifer.

Zane shrugged as he said,"Nah. I'm not in the mood to cause anyone who didn't hurt me or my friends trouble and pain plus a species genocide is so out of style these days.". "So what do you desire young hero? Eternal wealth? A woman of great beauty? Simple ask and I'll do anything in my power to give you your desires.". Zane folded his arms, closed his eyes, and started laughing. "Do you really want to know?" said Zane.

He soon cracked his knuckles with him saying,"I don't have a lot of desires in this world. My dad told me something."If you have the power that's strong enough to rock the Omniverse and stop evil in its tracks, use it to protect and fight for those who you care about.". He soon put his closed fist over his chest with him saying,"I'll use my immense power to protect I love and care about! However, I'm not an idiot.".

Zane took a deep breath as he said,"There is something that I got to say loud and clear. I want you devils to hear this so don't go deaf on me. I'm fighting for my dream! I fighting for my friends! I'm fighting for the future of the Omniverse and the children! Sorry your highness but nothing that you can offer me will help fight for the future sorry.". The devils were shocked by this since getting a reward let alone three is practically impossible and this boy is refusing all of them.

Zane smiled as he said,"Plus I already have the woman I love with all of my Essence so why would I need anything else?". He walked over to Rachel with him saying,"I'm here to fight for you Rachel Angelise Powell, my queen.". He kissed her hand with the devil blushing and Blaze was pissed off that he was touching HIS wife. "She isn't your wife or my queen. She's her own person and even if I win this duel, you can choose whoever you want to marry and I'll accept it." said Zane.

Rachel looked at him as she said,"You mean it Zane?". "Of course I do. You're a person first rather than an object. Even if you don't pick me to be your king, I'll be protecting her for the rest of my immortal life. So if you or anyone wants to marry her, you'll have to go through me." said Zane. His power was soon radiating out of him, causing all of the beings in the room to sweat in terror of the power that this boy has.

They also saw Azalea, Kane, Lucifer, and Sivarth standing beside Zane with the crowd ,mainly from the Supernatural District, were scared of Zane with Team Maelstrom just smiling. "I mean are you scared of fighting me Blaze? I mean I'm easily stronger than you but hey, I would just love to be proven wrong by you." said Zane with his voice filled with confidence. Rachel was silent with her face bright red and steam coming out of her head.

Zane had confessed to her before but in private. This time, he just confessed to her in public. "Zane really knows how to make a scene doesn't he?" said Gwen, smiling. Leo's eyes sparkled with him saying,"I want to be like him some day!". "Me too squirt." said Kevin with him tussling Leo's hair and the vampire blushed. "Blaze. Do you accept this fight?" said Ignacio, accepting Zane as his soon to be brother in law.

Astrid and Chloe were a different story since they weren't a fan of Zane. "No objections. Blaze will make this quick." said Blaze. "I'm sure that  most women hate when you go too fast. They like to take it easy and be romantic at the same time." said Zane. Several giggles ,from the females, came from the crowd being that Blaze just ignored Zane. He was really tempted to burn Zane's mouth off being that soon enough, he wouldn't have to deal with Zane no longer.

A bit later, the fight between the two was set up in a arena that was in a pocket dimension that looked like a Colosseum except with several giant chess pieces and towers covering the battlefield. Zane was looking around the dimension with him saying,"Oh wow. This dimension is pretty strong. More than the Domination dimension that's for sure. I really can't wait to break it.". "It's quite fascinating that you will be fighting like the Romans did back in the day." said Azalea.

Zane agreed with the oldest female on Team Legion Zero. He and Blaze were the only beings in this dimension being that everyone else was back in the mansion. Zane knew that Rachel was worried for him despite seeing him do seemingly impossible things. Zane turned to see Blaze with the devil just looking forward to put Zane in his place. He was back into the first outfit Zane had seen in him but now, he was wearing gold arm and legs guards.

Ignacio's voice said,"Let the battle begin.". His face was projected in the sky with Zane getting ready to fight. "It's go time. No holding back." said Zane to his team. "You got this. Kick this guy's but Zane." said Team Legion Zero. "I've been waiting for this for almost two weeks now so I hope you're ready to lose." said Zane. "You messed with the wrong family Alvarez! My brother's going to burn you to cinders!" shouted Avril's voice.

Zane slowly rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly at her comment. "Okay then. I got a lot to unpack here. I'm actually impressed with your sister Blaze. I mean I've never seen a being so obsessed with her sibling. I'm not one to judge people on their kinks. Actually, I totally do like all of the time. So after I kick your butt, you may want to help your sister find a new love interest whose better than you in every way. " said Zane.

Blaze's eyes twitched with him yelling,"I'll destroy you!". He soon flew into the air as fire completely covered his body and propelled himself toward Zane. He was doing this using fire construct wings and Zane just smiled. "Okay. Time to kick but! Zero style!" said Zane. He ran right toward Blaze with Rachel watching this. "Zane. Stay safe." thought Rachel. Blaze threw a fireball at Zane with Zane easily dodged it.

Blaze's aim was always perfect being that Zane should have been fried. He didn't understand how a lower being was surviving against him. "No matter how many times you dodge my attacks, you will never beat my power!" shouted Blaze. He fired several fireballs at Zane with the teen easily dodging the flames and kicking one into Blaze. "Goal!" shouted Zane. Zane knew that he could easily destroy the fireball but he had another idea.

Athena said,"I know that you want to use the trump card so I won't stop you but I'm sure that Parker would be happy if we use that feature eventually in the future.". "Yeah." said Zane. Blaze was about to say something but then he felt a wave of power radiating from Zane, dispensing the fireball. What was this power?! It wasn't anything that he felt before in his two thousand, eight hundred, and twenty two years of life. Yes, the devil is a really old one.

With this fact revealed, his and Rachel's relationship just got really weird didn't it?  This is due to them being two thousand, eight hundred, and four year difference. It's like a ten year old dating a fifteen year old. That's a reference to Zero. The crowd watching could also feel this surge of the power which included Rachel. "This power is it from Zane is it? It's so warm and familiar." thought Rachel. Back on the field, Zane's right gauntlet begin glowing as Zane smiled.

Zane looked at Blaze with him saying,"I'm going to win this fight because you're not invincible. No one is. You have no honor Blaze and that makes me better than you!". Energy slowly surrounded him with Zane saying,"I made a promise to someone special that I intend to keep! And no one is going to stop me from keeping my promise! NOTHING got it?! Lets go!". He raised his right gauntlet to the heavens, glowing bright as a thousand suns.

Blaze soon increased the flames around him, focused around his right fist. He soon punched into the light to end the false royal here and now. He was shocked as something caught his flamed fist. Before he could take a good look at his energy, he was socked directly in the face by a fist. The devil was knocked off balance and sent crashing into the ground a few feet away from where he had been hit in his perfect face. "What the hell are you?" said Blaze. 

He rose to his feet with him glaring at the creature, being that it didn't look human. It looked like Zane in his armored suit but it looked different. His body is still covered in a black bodysuit with him losing the crimson red web pattern to it. This is noticeable when Zane doesn’t have his entire body clad in steel gray plated armor being that the armor having a dragon like design to it. The armor has a sharp appearance to it. It has openings in the back of the armor.

Out of these openings, they have a pair of large, reddish black metallic ,with a flame like pattern to them, scaled dragon wings with crimson red cosmic energy feathers or patagrim. These wings match Zane’s Akostar wings. In the middle of his wings, he has a rocket booster like propulsion. His head is covered by a metallic black helmet/mask with it now more like a dragon like appearance. This is apparent thanks to his newly formed mouthpiece with sharp teeth-like structures on the helmet.

He has glowing steel gray eyes ,along with the white outline, with diamond-shaped jewels on the places where the eyes would be. He's wearing his Legionnaire Gauntlets and under his armor, he looks different being that he has a case of heterochromia and his eyelids are like a reptilian slit. His left eye’s iris and pupil turn molten gold and the eye’s sclera turns into a solid reddish black color with a flame like pattern to it.

His right eye’s iris and pupil turn steel gray and the eye’s sclera turns into a solid reddish black color with a lightning bolt like pattern to it. His steel gray armored boots has spikes on the sides of them just like his vambraces. He has a long armored dragon like tail being that unlike his wings, his dragon like tail is different than the normal tail he can grows if Zane wants. It starts out wide from the base of the tail.

However, it soon segments outwards with two obsidian black ,spade like, prongs at the end being that a constant stream of Impulse flows between it. Lazarus Soul was still on Zane's side, unsheathed and radiating with power. "You're going down. This is the brand new and amazing Hyperion Mail!" said Zane. "That's Hyperion Mail?!" said a shocked Rachel. From what Zane told her, Hyperion Mail is the result of Twilight being bonded to him not this.

Kevin whistled with him saying,"Oh wow. That thing look pretty tough.". "Really don't want to be the guy who pissed that one off." said Allen. "Focus boys. Do you know where it came from?" said Gwen. "Who cares right now Gwen? I've been wanting to see Zane at his full power for a while and this is it." said Danny. Wolfram nodded. Blaze growled at the sight of the armor teen being that he couldn't see Zane's face but he could just imagine the smirk plastered on Zane's face.

The shock of the armor was soon gone with him beginning to laugh darkly and in a very triumphant manner at Zane. "So are you okay gecko? I mean I didn't even punch you that hard so you shouldn't have brain damage unless you're really weak. Not making fun of people with brain damage but I am making fun of you." said Zane. "Do you really think that suit of armor will defeat me, the strongest Salamander!" said Blaze.

Zane didn't show any sign of emotion at Blaze's declaration being that his armor masked his face and any emotions shown on his face. "Okay then. How about instead of standing there and gawking at my armor, show me how strong you think you are." said Zane, with him giving the devil a "come and get me" gesture. The devilish smirk was gone with Blaze snarling at him with murderous intent in his eyes.

He lunged at Zane being that his fist was fiery hot and struck right at Zane's armored head. Zane saw Blaze's attack coming from a mile away being that he dodged the punch. Zane soon landed a firm but powerful uppercut to the chin. The chin was completely broken along with the ground right under Zane being that the chin was being healed and Blaze was in the air. Zane soon sprouted several dragon like limbs ,below his wings, and he said,"Fire!".

He soon fired several Impulse beams right at Blaze with the devil seeing that after Zane fired a single beam of energy, the one after it was stronger than the first beam. Blaze barely managed to avoid the barrage of lasers being that he watched them destroyed two rook statues and a knight statue in a huge explosion of raw energy and power. The destruction alone caused Blaze to be shocked as he heard his voice say,"Don't you dare keep your eyes off me!".

Blaze soon coughed blood as he looked down to see several steel gray energy tendrils. The devil soon looked like swiss chess and falling to the ground. His body was slowly healing as Blaze said,"I will end you!". He was about to throw a fireball but Zane had vanished. "Peek-a-boo bitch!" said a voice with Blaze's eyes widening. Zane appeared with him socking Blaze right in the stomach, sending the devil flying into a bishop statue. "That's for Rae, my team, and for just pissing me off!" yelled Zane.

Zane punched his left palm with his right fist as he said,"Rachel will never belong you to since I'm still around kicking your butt like my team did to you the other day! Our bonds grow and become stronger! The real reason behind my great strength is the bonds I make with my friends!". His team smiled at this statement with them feeling the same as him. Despite never seen anything like this before, the devil refused to lose to him.

He pulled himself out of the rubble, the wounds healing thanks to the fire. He was pissed off at Zane for many reasons. "You just got lucky you dam human understand?! The flames of the indestructible Salamander fuels my wrath! It's power is stronger than your friends?! How pathetic are you! Those who are weaker than you are your peon! A tool! I'll show you what real power is as I scorch you to dust!" yelled Blaze. 

His body was soon covered in fire with him circled around the now-broken chess piece before homing in on his target. "I'm sorry. What did I say? I kinda just tuned you out. I'll make you regret messing with Legion Zero!" said Zane. His power soon boosted before clashing with Blaze head to head. There was a large explosion with both combatants caught in the middle of it. The cameras that were recorded the fight were blinded, causing the audience to turn away.

Despite being devils and other supernatural creatures, the light was quite blinding. Blaze crashed onto the floor, grunting upon impact as Zane stood there. "Oh wow. When I heard how strong you were, I thought you would be a challenge but nope. You really are a candle compared to a real fire user aka me." said Zane, making his signature flames and forming a sword. "So is Zane being cocky or is the armor and him just that strong?" said Cole. "A and B. He really is a candle though." said Lucifer.  

Blaze recovered as he said,"You're hiding behind that armor boy! You're nothing more than a pile of ashes!". He threw another fireball with Zane just sighing. "Seriously? What is it with fire users only using fireballs? I get that it's a good ranged attack but come on! At least use something different or spice it up like a beam!" said Zane. He held his fiery blade and cut the fireball clean in half, sending both halves to the side of him and burning the ground around Zane.

Zane said,"Oh wow. Your flames are really toasty. Do you think that scares me flame brain? You honestly pissed me and nothing can stop me when my friends on my line!". He soon took flight as Blaze copied the armored teen. Blaze's fists turned into fire with Zane's fist glowing steel gray and has a trace of crimson red. The two punched each other's face with Blaze soon coughing blood out of his mouth.

Zane soon lowered his fist with him saying,"So how did it feel? I mean your punch tickled since I've gotten the fist of love from my grandpa one time. This punch hurt but because of that, grandma and my mom punched him into a building causing a fire. That was an interesting Thanksgiving.". Blaze couldn't say a single thing due to the incredible burning pain in his chest, coughing up more blood than normal. "This pain. How did you?" said Blaze, looking at Zane as the two descended.

The devil soon saw a very bright twinkle in Zane's right hand. It was in the shape of an item that's feared by the devils. "A cross?!" yelled Blaze, not believing his eyes. He couldn't figure out where he got that so he decided to ask Zane after crashing into the ground. Blaze slowly stood back up with his jaw slowly regenerate due to his body rejecting holy items. "Where did you get that?!" said Blaze as pain flowed through his body like blood or fire. Pick whichever. I like both.

Zane looked right at the silver cross with him saying,"Oh. You mean this old thing. I asked an angel if I could borrow it. I told the angels about me coming to kick your ass. They were quite gracious but at the same, they're total party animals. You really believe angels to be this high and totally uptight species but no. It was a shocker to me. I think they're just like all species in the Omniverse. Perfect but flawed. That is such an awesome statement I learned.".

Jordan blinked as she said,"So are we going to ask him about his journey or not?". "We will because I think it's sounding more interesting by the minute." said Sly. "So how does it feel Blaze? Knowing that a weak being like you claim is me is kicking your ass hard. How does a mighty being fall to the knees over a simple piece of metal on a necklace. No matter how powerful you think you are, there is always someone stronger than you and that's me!" said Zane.

Blaze growled at Zane with him realized something. Something of that power shouldn't have been a reality without a cost. "Wait a second. This is impossible!" said Blaze. "You losing to someone or me winning? I mean you're losing badly." said Zane. "No! This suit of armor of yours shouldn't be at all possible! Your body should have been torn apart by the amount of power. You're just a human with filthy Phantom blood!" said Blaze.

Sivarth's voice echoed out of the armor,"Normally devil, you would be right. Zane is a human but only a simple twenty five percent of him is that. The other seventy five percent of him is other species with ten percent is the proud and noble Akostar. After all, Akostar have been known to make pacts with beings if the Akostar is interested. This armor is the result of our bond. You're nothing compared to Team Legion Zero and our bond!".

Blaze was confused by this statement with him saying,"What does that have to do anything? That shouldn't......". His eyes widened as he looked at Zane. "Hold on. What did you give that Akostar boy?! If you're ten percent Akostar, what did you give him?!" said Blaze. "Something important to me but I was only seven years old. It's my Essence or heart but honestly, I didn't care. Sivarth is one of my friends and I show you the power of the bond we made together." said Zane.

Blaze chuckled as he said,"You fool. Do you honestly think giving him your heart was such a great idea? You could have died and probably will die because of how fickle they are!". He threw a fireball at Zane who just kicked it. "I don't care! Giving my Essence to Sivarth in order to save Jordan and Leo was totally worthy it! I'm willing to fight for my friends! You're going down you polygamous bastard!" said Zane.

Everyone at the party was shocked by this being that only his team knew about Zane's sacrifices but the devils didn't. If there is one thing that humans are known for, they're selfless. Not a single devil there would give up anything for others. Rachel just stared Zane being that he ,literally, crashed the party and challenged Blaze to one on one just for her. She was rendered speechless. "Have you lost your mind?! You are a freak!" yelled Blaze.

Zane shrugged as he said with his arms crossed,"Honestly, I don't care. I may be a freak but I have friends, family, and I won't lose to you bitch.". He was ready to finish this. "Rae isn't a title, more than a princess! She deserves so much better than a life that she doesn't want to live! She's an all too important part of my life and I'll save her from you or anyone who dares to hurt her! After all, a man gives his all for the woman he loves!" said Zane.

He rushed forward with his rockets and pulled his right fist back. Back at the party, Rachel couldn't believe her ears despite her hearing him saying it multiple times to her. Blaze couldn't move due to the holy energy affecting him. He didn't even have enough power to make a defensive force. Holy energy makes devils sluggishly and unable to return back back to normal until the holy energy is gone from their bodies.

Zane rushed toward Blaze with him landing a powerful uppercut right into the devil's jaw like before and it broke. You could hear the jaw breaking from the mansion and the devil went flying right into the air. The devil crashed into the ground with the area around the devil covered in dust and the devil barely seeing several pieces of metal ,matching the armor's color, flying right toward him and they soon covered his body. The devil's arms and legs were trapped, making him unable to move.

Zane soon made multiple massive pieces of metals ,which matched the armor's color, magnetically levitated around him. They slowly formed into cannons and Zane's arms were soon covered by cannons. All of Zane's cannons were slowly charging up energy with Danny figuring out what Zane was going to do. He remember his best friend using this attack against Steamroller and how he sent the easily five hundred pound man flying down the street. However, this attack had changed.

Zane's rocket booster like protrusion and Zane's wings soon fused together to create a giant energy absorbing panel which were in the shape of a heater and round shield. Zane soon combined both of his arm cannons and combined them, making a giant cannon in its place. The cannons that floated around Zane soon matched the giant cannon that covered Zane's hands. "I really hope you can take a beating Blaze because you're getting it and then some! Fire!" said Zane.

The cannons soon fired massive beam of energy being that these beams were slowly combining into one. The giant beam went flying right toward Blaze, obliterate the ground below it. They all soon combined into one massive beam which easily dwarfing both Blaze and Zane in terms of size and being twenty feet tall. Blaze screamed in pain as he was completely covered in energy and made a massive explosion, making a mushroom cloud.

The smoke cleared, showing the destruction that the beam left behind. The area was obliterated with Blaze being in the center of the crater. Blaze slowly stood back up, revealing his injuries. "Do you really think you can defeat me?! I'm a Salamander! We're invincible!" said Blaze. His body was slowly regenerated using his clan's flames. His slow recharge rate was because of the holy energy in his body despite his body getting eradicated by the giant beam attack.

Zane rolled his eyes with his armor returned back to normal. "Yeah. As you can clearly see, I've been kicking your ass this entire fight. You may think your flames are invincible but news flash! Nothing in the Omniverse is invincible! You really need to cool down!" said Zane. He soon made a Zenith Sphere, being a blue color. Zane aimed the sphere at Blaze, punching it right at the devil. Due to the remaining holy energy, he was slower than he was before.

Blaze soon got hit by the sphere being that instead of pain, he only felt water hitting his chest and face. He was confused by this but he soon screamed out in pain. His chest was burning away as his voice reached a high pitch that would make Avril wince in pain from the sound. If he did this in a glass shop, there would be a lot of broken glass. His devil flames are trying to heal his injuries but it wasn't working.

Zane chuckled at his opponent's pain as he said,"Do you honestly think that the angels just gave me a cross to defeat you? Well, you would be right. I got this water from some elves on my way here and man, you don't want to know how I got it. That's a amazing story for a another time but hey, you're feeling pain aren't you Blaze?". He soon held a bottle ,with a strange flower symbol on it, dropping it and the devils watching this fight were shocked.

The elves despised the devils due to the devils destroyed most of their land just for fun being that they do have a fondness for humans that find themselves in their forest. "Lord Blaze! He's feeling pain from that boy?!" said a female devil. "What did that boy do?! The elves wouldn't have done this for him!" said a male goblin. "Big brother!" shouted a confused and concerned Avril. He was a noble like her and a member of the Salamander Clan so why wasn't he healing?

Ignacio chuckled as he said,"So Zane is smarter than Blaze. He really does have more than one plan for Blaze's weakness.". The young girl turned to him in shock as she screamed,"Impossible! My brother is flawless!". "No he isn't sister. We have a weakness toward the cross due to our hatred of the angels and righteous forces such as the elves's water. He's a very smart being. I wouldn't mind being a member of his group or serve him under him." said Archie.

Avril glared at her brother with her saying,"He's cheating!". "No it isn't. Your group cheated first using the highly illegal Reaper Powder and don't think I forgot about that. You could try to sue Zane but I'm sure that he has a impressive team of lawyers to help him." said Ignacio. "Yeah. I expect Zane to find a tactic like this but I was expecting him to punch him." said Heidi. "I still don't get it. The cross I got but why is the water affecting him? He can regenerate like bro right?" said Leo.

Gwen nodded as she said,"Blaze and his family can regenerate but his mind is another story. The body of the Salamander may be immortal but the mind and emotions are not.". "I'm so sorry Blaze being that I remember hearing that salamanders love water so I thought why not. I guess you don't since you're a devil and you just hate good natured things aka the cross and the elves's water. Put them together and well, your defeat is served. How does it feel to lose?" said Zane.

Third degree burns were all over Blaze's chest and face being that he was no longer a royal devil. He was a bloody, burned mess being that if not treated soon, he would be nothing more than a scarred beast. His body was shaking, showing fatigue. His power was trying to heal him as the combo of good and righteous forces destroy him. In his life, he has never seen his defeat or blood before. He felt weak but also angry. He launched a giant fireball at Zane being that it was slowly than before.

This was due to his power focused on healing him using the flames of the Salamander Clan. Zane cracked his neck with him grabbing a piece of rubble. It soon expanded in size, easily dwarfing the fireball. He threw the massive object toward the ball, intercept the attack. "I'm keeping an eye on my environment and using it to my advantage!" said Zane. He soon rushed toward Blaze with the devil saying,"Impossible! You're hurting me! This is impossible!".

Blaze threw several small fireballs at Zane with the fire just bouncing off the armor. "You're nothing compared to me! I'm of royal blood and you're nothing but a genetic misfit! These flames will burn you alive!" yelled Blaze. He stood back up with his flames covering his body and rushed toward Zane despite getting injured. "Do you think I'm scared of you? You're going to regret messing with me and my friends!" said Zane.   

The two clashed fists, releasing fire and impulse everywhere. An explosion covered the field, sending both combatants back. Blaze went crashing into a pawn statue with Zane stopping just before hitting a rook statue. Blaze emerged from the rubble with him flying in the air. "Oh wow. I totally thought you were done but hey, you've must gotten your second wind old man." said Zane. Blaze soon threw a giant ball of fire ,matching the sun, at Zane and the armored teen stood there. 

Zane smiled under his mask just as the ball of fire was about to swallow him whole. "Your flames will be your downfall." said Zane. Zane soon covered his arms in his signature flames with his hands held out in front of him. "Absorb!" said Zane. The crowd and Blaze watched the ball of fire slowly transmuting itself right in front of their eyes. Blaze's flames soon matched Zane's flames. "Oh. Look at that. Your fire turned into mine. What a twist." said Zane.

Blaze's eyes widened once again as he yelled,"You scum! What the hell did you do to my flames you damn punk?!". "Well you gecko, I'll make this simple for you. I stole your flames in order to make you learn your place. Infernal Clap!" said Zane. Zane's body soon ignited with his arms and hands blazing with an incredible intensity, glowing brighter than normal. His arms and hands are covered in a visible haze, being a dark indigo color.

Zane clapped his hands together, creating a giant wave of fire or shockwave of heat. It went toward Blaze with Avril saying,"Why is he doing that? Our clan makes us immune to fire!". "Just watch and you'll get your answer." said Archie. The flames soon slammed into Blaze, screaming in pain. The wave felt like a destructive force of a erupting volcano. "How the hell are these flames hurting me?! I am fire itself!" yelled Blaze.

Blaze didn't get a response from Zane due to the devil getting punched in the stomach, air escaping his lungs. He round house kicked Blaze in the head, sending him right into the ground. He fired a barrage of Zenith Spheres at Blaze with the devil barely dodging the barrage. He was slowly getting back up before Zane appeared behind Blaze. He soon punched Blaze into the ground, creating a large explosion of dust covering the two.

As the dust settled, Zane slowly pulled Blaze out of the ground and held him up in the air by his dress shirt. Zane kicked Blaze right in the chest and was sent flying away, crashing into a second bishop piece. Zane walked toward him with him saying,"This beatdown I'm giving you is a response to you hurting my friends! Eat their pain bastard!". He flew right toward Blaze, slamming his open right palm into Blaze 's face and gripping it.

Blaze tried to blast Zane away from him with the devil's fire just bouncing off the armor. Zane threw the devil into the air and before Blaze could recover, he was hit into the ground by two dragon arms that sprouted from his chest. "Wow. Zane is really showing not a single ounce of mercy on this guy whatsoever." said Allen. "Yeah Allen but Blaze had it coming. Zane is a vengeful person when it comes to those who hurt his friends." said Jordan.

After coming out of the crater Zane put him, Blaze glared at Zane. "You bastard! I'm going to kill you for being a pain to me and everyone you've ever met in your pathetic life!" yelled Blaze. Zane easily dodged another fireball of him with him saying,"Alongside the environment, you need to keep a close eye on your opponent because they'll may do anything to win!". He soon aimed his left gauntlet in front of him, slowly charging up energy.

Zane said with a smile,"My body has an immense amount of power flowing through and out of it. I've been told this recent but it's true. Humans can do anything that they set their mind to being that I'm still human.". He eventually made a translucent sphere shape ,being about the size of a basketball or football, and he grabbed the sphere with his hand. It looked like Zane's potential. The sphere had swirling black, crimson red, dark indigo, molten gold, steel gray, and turquoise energy within.

Zane yelled while rushing toward Blaze,"To win a fight against a foe who may be stronger than you or not, aim for their weak spot and hit them hard!". His team felt butterflies in their stomachs upon hearing Zane's words. He was thanking them for his support and saying that this beatdown is a team effort. Blaze couldn't move. He exhausted all of his power and was wide open for Zane's attack. He did the only thing he could think of. "No.... S-stop..... You can't do this!...." said Blaze.

Blaze launched several waves of fire and fireballs at Zane with the flames just bouncing off. It did nothing to stop Zane. "This engagement isn't just important for the Akostar and Salamander Clan but the future of the Devils, you fucking fool! A being like you could never understand what our race went through during the Omniverse War! You have no right getting involved in matters that don't involve you!" yelled Blaze.

He released a massive ball of fire at Zane, transforming into a giant salamander. Instead of running from the giant fire lizard, Zane kept walking and then through the creature. Zane removed his helmet as his face was revealed. "I really don't give a crap. Do you think I've listened to a single word you've said? That isn't important anymore! I did all of this because you hurt Rae. She's an important part of my life. I would do anything for her which includes any bullshit politics involving her." said Zane.

Rachel's eyes were widened as Zane said,"Do you know how far you pushed her? She never wanted this wedding but you and her bastard family made her upset and desperate! She lashed out, tried to hurt herself in ways that can't be undone, and worse of all, she cried. She cried for what you did to her and the family she made on Earth and not with her own species. Do you know what that's like?! I doubt you do.".

He stopped moving as he said,"To be pushed to your utmost limits and seeing no other option but to surrender in order to live another day? I can never expect you to do but could you do it for your brother and sister? Your fellow devils? No you wouldn't. Family is the most important thing you can have other than life itself. Money isn't important especially when it comes to the idea and concept of a family. She wants nothing to do with you got it bastard?!".

Blaze was quiet as Zane said,So are you ready to get a taste of your well needed medicine? Because I got just the thing for you!". After getting into a running stance, the hero broke into an run with him covering his fist in the Zenith Sphere. "Learn your place Blaze! Bond Zenith Sphere!" said Zane as he unleashed a powerful uppercut into Blaze's gut. The devil hunched over and cough up blood. It's due to the physical pain from Zane's assault mixed with the cross and elf water combo.

Zane smiled as he said,"Have a nice flight Blaze!". The sphere soon exploded with Blaze getting launched into the remains of a giant king sized piece, making a noticeable Blaze-sized indentation in the piece. Blaze coughed a large amount of blood as he said,"Dam you.". He was slowly standing back up before falling back into the rubble. "Get up already! I got to kick your ass harder!" said Zane with a smile. "You're a sadist Zane. I think that's obvious now." said Kane.

Zane shrugged his shoulders as he said,"Yeah but only toward people who piss me off.". "At least you accept it Zane." said Lucifer and Sivarth in unison. Blaze was feeling true fear from Zane since he couldn't believe what was happen to him. He was losing to a lower being. "So do you want power you oh so powerful devil?" said a voice. Blaze noticed that time was frozen around him being that in front of him, he saw Skull Plague.

For a quick reminder, this is Skull Plague outside of his meat suit aka Fallout. It's been a while so here's a quick recap. I mean it's been how many years in real life. His first physical appearance was in Zero Episode 64 which aired on Thursday, November 23, 2017. It has been four hundred seventy eight days, sixty eight weeks and two days, or one year, three months, and twenty one days since then. I'm not counting by the time but the day.

Anyway, he's a living and somehow breathing humanoid male skull. He looks to be the size of a basketball or watermelon. The skull is a ash gray color and covered in a black aura. In the center of the skull, there is a singular eye. The eye itself is just a red pupil. He has four thin, black limbs that were constantly moving around the skull. He has three bone like fingers on the end of each limb. Out of his back, energy ,being the Qlakrik's Carnal, was generating out of him. It was a dark red color.

Upon seeing the infamous being floating there, Blaze released out a scream and he yelled out,"What are you doing here?! You shouldn't be here! You are supposed to be in the Dread Dimension not here in the Supernatural District!". He tried to back away from Skull Plague being that the devil was soon picked up by two Carnal arms and was standing him up. He looked at the devil with his body looking like crap due to his injuries fighting Zane.

Skull Plague whistled as he said,"Wow. Zaney really did a number on you huh Blaze young boy. To be honest with you, I don't think Zane was using 10% of his strength on you. He's gotten really strong in a short amount of time. He did open the Omni Door after. Not sure what he got from it but man, he's wrecking your shit. Oh by the way, we're in Savadran aka the middle ground of several dimensions of the Omniverse and by the way, you can never leave.".

Blaze's eyes widened with Skull laughing. "Oh wow! You totally believe that you're stuck here aren't you?! Nah. You're not. I mean I am but lets get back on point here. Zaney is much stronger than you since he's trying to kill me along with his pals. I'm sure he could do it. Out of everyone I've met who can use fire, you're really weak like uber weak." said Skull. "Impossible Qlakrik! My flames can burn Akostars!" said Blaze.

Skull rolled his eye as he said,"You're right but to be fair to the Akostars, they were near death due to other wounds from previous fights so that shouldn't count but it does. I mean against Azalea and Sivarth, you'll die by either one of them stomping on you like the lizard you are which by the way is a hilarious thought. Just watch devil boy!". He soon made an image of Blaze fighting against Azalea and Sivarth with each Akostar smashing him over and over.

Blaze watched this scene with a shocked expression. "So are you alright buddy? Did I just destroy your fragile ego? I mean Zaney is doing that as well out there but I'm adding insult to injury at this point." said Skull. Blaze was silent as Skull shrugged despite not having shoulders whatsoever. "Okay then you loser devil. Anyway, I decided to grant you power in order for you to defeat Zaney for me so will you do it?" said Skull. "Really?" said Blaze.

He looked at the Qlakrik with hopeful determination with Skull smiling. "Yep! You'll have the power of a Qlakrik and trust me, you'll win! Just shake my hand." said Skull, making one of his hand go in front of him. Blaze grabbed it as Carnal covered him. The devil soon screamed out in pain as Skull said,"I think you'll be fine. Come on bats! Swarm him up!". Skull flew back with several stone bats covered Blaze's body with his screaming getting louder.

Back in the Colosseum, Zane was heading toward Blaze but he stopped. "So why did you stop? Blaze still needs to learn his place." said Cole. "I sense Carnal." said Zane, shocking Cole. "No. Would he Sivarth?" said Kane. "It doesn't matter Kane. He makes no sense whatsoever. All of his actions are for entertainment. I bet that he's making a deal with Blaze right now and I'm pretty sure that he accepted. Zane you know what to do." said Sivarth.

Zane nodded as his body soon sprouted several steel gray energy tendrils with them soon heading toward the pile of rubble that contained Blaze and latched themselves onto the devil. Using the energy tendrils, Zane was slowly taking away Blaze's power. He was hoping that he could get rid of the Carnal that was slowly forming inside of the devil and transforming him. Around the pieces of rubble, several dragon limbs ,being fists and feet, began beating the snot out of Blaze.

This soon covered the devil and Zane in a large dust cloud. Zane's helmet was going back over his head as the dust cloud came closer to him. Rachel was watching in amazement at how Zane was fighting Blaze. She felt a single tear start to go down her cheek as she thought with pure joy,"He's winning against Blaze. You can do this Zane!". This attack continued for a few more seconds before a large, fiery explosion erupted out of the dust cloud.

The crowd soon saw Zane getting sent flying back across the field and his feet creating deep grooves in the ground. "ENOUGH! You can't not defeat me with your tricks no longer Zero! I'll end this match with your death!" shouted a demonic voice. Blaze flew into the air and he was looking very different, shocking both of his siblings and the rest of the devils watching. His skin color is now a white color being the same color as very hot flames.

His eyes and face looked to be the same as before with his hair floating in the air, acting like fire itself as it flowed through the wind. He now had a third eye being that unlike his normal eyes, it was glowing red. His pants were gone being that it was now metallic armor/tights. The armor is a dark green with a gold outline being that it has several spikes protruding from them with a fiery tip to the them. He was now barefoot with three demonic talons for toes.

He has two upward horns coming out of his head. His arms had spikes on the sides being that they resembling blunt but deadly knives. They were engulfed in flames that were burning with an incredible intensity, being white hot. His blazer was ripped, looking like a vest. This is due to his four metallic demonic wings sticking out of his back being that they were a bright gold color with embers falling off them. His flame like gem was currently glowing.

He shot through the air at blinding speeds being that everyone back at the mansion struggled to keep up with. He darted all around Zane before suddenly rushing toward Zane from behind. However, the super hero could still see him coming thanks to a lot of training. Zane soon spun around being that he was going to smack Blaze in the face. This time was different being that Blaze finally learned to expect this simple but effect move.

You really think that he would gotten it by now but Blaze isn't the smartest devil. He isn't an idiot but he isn't the smartest either despite his age. The devil dodged Zane's armored fist before bringing his arm down on top of it, his flame soon cut clean through his right arm. It was severed from his elbow onward and sending it falling to the floor. Zane clutched his new stump as he said,"Hey! I didn't cut off any of your limbs thank you very much! Play fair!".

Blaze was done with his antics being that he soon landed behind Zane. He soon spun around with his right hand on the ground. He soon sliced clean through Zane, cutting him in half. "Well, darn. This actually hurts." said Zane.  His upper half landed on the ground with his lower half soon landed a few inches away from the upper half. "NO!" cried Rachel, watching this fight with tears flowing down her face.

She just watched Zane getting sliced into three pieces being that he had done so much for her and it gotten him killed for it. She watched her friends get hurt before being that she couldn't take the pain any longer. She clasped her hands over her mouth to stop the gasp that escaped her mouth being that she shook slightly. A hand was on her right shoulder as Danny stood there. "Don't worry Rae. Zane's fine." said Danny, smiling.

Rachel grabbed Danny's bandages as she yelled,"How can you be so sure Danny?! We just saw him die again! I should have gone through with the engagement being that I just watched the love of my eternal life die! My friends also got hurt right in front of me because of my actions! Zane's dead and you're injured Danny!". Danny sighed with him saying,"Calm down Rae. I know that the last couple of weeks have been rather intense for you but think about it.".

Rachel ,through her tears, said,"What?!". "Remember. Zane has lost limbs before this fight. We've been shocked by this but he goes back to normal." said Danny. Rachel's eyes widened with Danny saying with a smirk,"Okay. You got it. Anyway, back to the fight. He would want you to watch Rae since he's doing it for you.". Rachel did so being that she soon saw Blaze with his arms out stretched and laughing triumphantly.

Blaze said while looking down at the pieces of Zane,"Ha! You have been defeated by the almighty Blaze! Even with this added power, I would have killed you before you did any damage! See that Rachel! There is nothing that you can do to....". He soon heard laughter with it sounding very obnoxious. He turned to see Zane laughing with him staring at the sky above him. "You! How are you still alive?! He gave me this power and promised that you would die!" snarled Blaze.

He backed away from the superhero, with his eyes widen in shock. Zane continued laughing as candy syrup tendrils sprouted from his waist being that they snaked across the dirt until it reached the upper half of his body and latched on tight to it. This also happened with Zane's right arm with the tendrils coming from his stump instead. The audience gasped as the tendrils began pulling the upper half and arm back to the lower half.

They soon fused back together with Zane rolling his shoulders and shit eating grin ,despite the helmet completely covering his face, on him. Zane looked at the shocked look of Blaze. "Huh? The great and magnificent Blaze hasn't seen someone outside of your family with regeneration before. That's the thing about you noble types. You're so blinded to the outside world and because of that, your ego inflates like a balloon before popping." said Zane, making a sound.

Astrid and Chloe were very much shocked like Blaze being that they turned to their youngest sibling who was smiling at seeing him back in action. Her happiness dwarfed their shock being that the duo of devils soon turned to Ignacio smiled. "So what happened?!" said Astrid and Chloe. "I think you two learned the power of a Zero haven't you? I doubt he'll be dying anytime soon since unlike most of the previous ninety nine zeroes, he has something to fight for other than himself." said Ignacio.

He was smirking as the two royal devils were shocked by this new information. They knew about the Zeroes and how most of them cared only for themselves. They were always considered to be very powerful but also stupid. Back with Zane, he was looking over himself being that he was checking if his body had been restored properly despite being burned by Blaze. "Wow. You being a Brandsa and Devil Cross-Species makes you weaker than me." said Zane.

If you want to look up what a Brandsa is, check out Zero Shorts Episode 1. Brandsa are basically the weaker version of Qlakriks. It's like compared a dragon to a wyvern. Both are quite deadly creatures of fantasy but one is clearly better. They can use Carnal and whatever ability they had before. That's pretty much it. I'm not saying that they're coming back like Alf ,in pog form, but they may show up once and a while. Don't quote me on that. I could be wrong.

Blaze was slowly backing away from Zane with him saying,"This is impossible boy! Only I and my family have the power of regeneration!". Zane crossed his arms ,forming the shape of an "X" in front of him, being that he said,"And that's where you're wrong Blaze. I guess I should end this fight before Skull Plague completely takes you over since you still have family who loves you for some reason but I'm not one to judge.".

Zane looked down at both of his gauntlet covered arms as he said,"I think it's time to bring out the really big guns.". Zane's body was soon pulsating rapidly with him slowly surrounded by several glowing energy spheres which materialize from out of nowhere. They soon floated in the air around him. The spheres are either colored black, crimson red, dark indigo, molten gold, steel gray, and turquoise.

It looked like that Zane was transforming into Wrath but it was something else entirely. Blaze could feel a powerful source of energy coming and radiating off from Zane. Even with his immense power boost, every fiber of his being was telling him to run away and hide despite him not wanting to run away because of Zane pissing him off constantly. This feeling effected those back in the mansion who were watching the fight.

Zane soon chanted,"Time to awaken my full potential. I am the Emperor who will not let anything stop me from protecting those who I treasure dearly. Within me, infinite power and dreams are there and give me strength to fight those who would hurt the innocent. I am the Savior of the Omniverse that I swear to protect! Let me show you the power that breaks all limits! Emperor Mail!”. During the chant, Zane was slowing changing.

He still wears the black bodysuit alongside his plated dragon armor being that it looks to be more organic than before and looks to be crimson red and steel gray armor. It looks more bulky without losing its speed in the process. His shoulders are covered by two layers of thick armor curved shoulder padding. They now have two cannon in the areas between Zane’s neck and shoulder pads. It keeps the same appearance as before.

He soon grows a second set of dragon wings with all four wings having a cannon on them. Two cannons are under his armor and the chest looks to be the most different being that it was a cluster of enclosed armor. He still has the rocket booster like propulsion and his helmet are the same. His tail looks the same except now, he has four obsidian black ,spade like, prongs at the end. "What the hell are you?" said Blaze with noticeable fear in his voice.

Zane looked up at him with him smiling under the helmet. He soon released a giant burst of energy that was violently destroys everything in its way and light up the entire area. It was also creating larger than normal shockwaves and waves of pressure. They usually knocks everyone off their feet and can be felt for miles around. Some people in the mansion were out cold. The area around Zane is covered in a crater and his aura emits a fiery spirit that emanates both energy and passion.

Zane smiled with him saying,"You should know that the Emperor Mail means that you're going to be fucked hard buddy.". "What?! This power you have in your body should have destroyed you by now!" yelled a fearful Blaze. "Don't worry. You're still stronger than him." said Skull's voice in his ear. "Nope. My body is still fit as a fiddle. Time for you to fall." said Zane. He compressed both of his arms into his body while slowly sprouting several cannons like objects out of his body.

The cannons soon formed around Zane, completely covering him from all sides. He soon fired off a flurry of continuous punches. All of his punches matched Vulcan Emperor Kaiser Magnum in terms of appearance and Zane shouted,"Vulcan Emperor Kaiser Storm!". Blaze was sent flying away and onto the ground with him coughing up blood. Despite his body regenerating from the damage, Blaze still felt the pain being that he didn't like it whatsoever.

Zane charged right toward Blaze and moved toward the devil at incredible speed. "You don't deserve anyone of those women who serve under you but everyone deserves someone! However, you don't deserve Rae!" said Zane, with him socking the devil right in the face. This sent him flying across the field being that he was sent through several chess pieces and ended up in one of the Colosseum's towers. This created a large hole from the impact of the devil.   

Zane whistled as he said,"Oh wow. You went flying. I totally expected you to go a couple of feet in front of the tower but inside of it. This armor really doesn't hold back. I'm guessing that you learned that there is always someone stronger than you aka me.". Blaze emerged from the hole being that he was engulfed in flame being that they were rather intensive. He lunged toward Zane with his fist reared back.

Zane easily saw this coming being that he dodged Blaze's punch and grabbed his arm. He soon threw the devil into the ground, making a massive crater. Zane flew high into the air being that Blaze said while his broken body was slowly repairing itself,"What are you?! This power in a single person is impossible!". "Jeez and people don't tell me that I don't listen. The name is Zane Vincent Alvarez aka Legion Zero. So get it memorized. Tyrannus Lance!" said Zane.

Zane focused Tyrannus Nether in his hand with it slowly forms into a lance like shape and getting bigger over time being that it can easily be the size of a skyscraper. It looks like a hyper compressed energy lance. It was soon covers by a steel gray mandala around it being that Zane threw it down on Blaze. Blaze barely dodged the spear with the spear causing a massive explosion and soon slammed into the tower where Blaze crashed into early.

This made a massive explosion, destroying the tower to collapse. "You can't win! You're nothing compared to me! You're nothing!" roared Blaze, before flying right at Zane. Zane easily dodged the attack with Zane slamming his right fist into the back of Blaze, creating a large and deep crater from the impact. "Rae deserves better! She deserves someone who make her happy and hopefully, I'm that person! I'll make everyone see that no matter what it takes!" roared Zane.

His voice carried across the arena, reaching Rachel who gasped. She put her hand to her chest as she felt her heartbeat started to beat faster at Zane's words. Astrid looked at her sister with her saying in a teasing tone,"Is he making your heart beat little sis?". Rachel glared at her with her saying,"For the past eighteen years, you treated me like a mistake. I'm sure that Zane would want me to forgive you since we're family and I will but don't tease me or I'll sick him on you.".

Astrid gulped in fear being that she learned that Zane was scary. "Dam you!" yelled Blaze. His body was soon engulfed in fire being that he soon crated the biggest fireball Zane had seen the devil make so far and it was thrown toward Zane. Zane shrugged as he said, "Oh wow. You're really trying to kill me aren't you. Oh well, Unrivaled Gateway.". He focused as he created candy syrup , in the shape of "0", with the center of them matching the color of his portals.

He created several portals around the battlefield with Zane soon jumped through one and evaded Blaze's attack which caused a massive explosion. Blaze looked around for Zane as the armored teen soon appeared and was rushing toward Blaze. He held Lazarus Soul and soon slashed Blaze across the chest. "This is the end for you bastard!" yelled Zane. Blaze soon made a giant fiery claw from his body being that he was about to grab Zane.

However, Zane escaped the attack thanks to a portal and Blaze's attack missed. Blaze looked at his wound with him hearing,"Oh wow. Not even your wounds are now longer healing up. I guess Zaney has more tricks being that the sword can use all of the abilities that all of his swords have or maybe it's the energy field that's around you. It's negating your healing factor.". Blaze soon noticed the steel gray energy field around him with it covered the entire battlefield.

Blaze soon saw Zane reappear being that he rushed toward him. "You can't stop me!" said Blaze as he made two fire claws and swiped at Zane. Zane evaded them thanks to a portal with him flipping off the devil as he evade the attack. Zane soon reappeared being that Blaze evaded Zane's sword slice unlike last time. "I guess he's slightly smarter than I thought but this time, I need to go even faster than before!" thought Zane.

Blaze and the crowd soon saw Zane appeared and reappear through several portals, trapping Blaze in a prison of slashes. "You'll run out of energy eventually! You're close to your limits! You'll die if you make a single mistake!" roared Blaze. "Sorry but that ain't happen! I'm fighting for Rae and my friends here! You made her cry when you brutally assault Danny right in front of her! I'll hurt anyone who makes my friends cry got it!!" roared Zane in anger.

This caused Rachel to cry again being that she wanted to give Zane the perfect reward more and more by the minute. Zane reappeared being that he soon made a steel gray Nether construct of Cardinal Etcher appear in his hand as he directly stabbed it right in the center of Blaze's chest and hitting the gemstone, cracking it in half. Zane smiled as Crisis Judgement went off. "You dam fool. You got close to me!" said Blaze.

Zane's arms were soon covered in Blaze's fire with him saying,"Burn away!". Zane's arms were soon being burned alive with Zane not saying anything. "You dam fool! Nothing will stop my victory! I took that attack on purpose to let you come to me! You'll fail in front of everyone like the bitch you are!" said Blaze. Zane smiled as he said,"Silly Blaze. That would only work on someone who doesn't have extremely powerful regeneration aka not me.".

Zane soon cut off his own arms, freeing himself from Blaze's fire. The energy sword was still inside of Blaze as Zane's arms grew right back. The energy sword still remained inside of Blaze being that Zane's arms soon grew right back. Before Blaze could do anything about the sword or Zane escaping him, Zane aimed his hands right toward Blaze. "Time for Arcanum Skydive and Arcanum Aster! A double combo of pain!" said Zane with a smile.

A giant ring appeared in front of Blaze with Zane soon firing several types of energy beams ,with the energy beams being several types of energies ranging from Animus to Mojo plus every other type of energy that Zane controls, from his body being that it included the cannons. All of the energy beams went right toward the empty part of the ring. Zane soon flew toward the ring with him going right through the center of it.

His body is covered in a massive energy aura being that he soon began flying high into the air and comes slamming down into Blaze. During the flight down, he began spinning like a drill and comes down like a meteor. Upon making impact, this soon made a massive explosion which shook the arena and the mansion. Before Blaze could do anything once again, Zane soon created a large amount of Impulse into a sphere like construct in the same vein as Zenith Sphere.

There is a stream of lightning coming off the sphere, flames going around the sphere, and frost freezing everything around it. He threw it right toward Blaze being that the hand that the sphere was thrown slowly closing into Blaze. While it was heading toward Blaze, it slowly increases in both size and pressure. Upon reaching the devil, it splits open in a pure white flash. There is a loud roar being that the effect range is a semi-circle that went around Blaze.

It went for a good fifty meters around him from all sides, made a massive crater in the ground and sent Blaze flying into the ground. Blaze was completely annoyed at Zane and his antics being that he soon threw a gigantic sphere at Zane. "If you want to play fireball, I'll play along! Fierce Sol!" said Zane while taking up a fierce stance. He soon began creating a miniature sphere of Impulse being that it matches the color of the energy that comes from Predator State.

It radiates so much Impulse being that it can be seen and felt by everyone back at the mansion. Zane threw it toward Blaze being that it was slowly growing over time being that it was taller than Cypress High and Blaze's mansion, easily dwarfing Blaze's fireball. The two spheres soon collided, causing a massive explosion and it engulfed Blaze inside of it.  The only thing that was escaping the explosion was the cries of agony.

The arena was soon covered in dust being no one could see the impact of the attack. The dust cleared with Blaze on the ground, still alive but was pretty much destroyed by the raw Impulse. "How are you doing this child? You're just a mistake!" said Blaze. "Oh wow. You're still alive. I'm kinda impressed. I'm sure that those attacks should do the trick." said Zane, cracking his knuckles. Zane smiled with him saying,"You know what they say. There is no kill like overkill.".

Everyone who was watching the fight soon learned that Zane's sadistic nature extended outside of training. Blaze was slowly rising to his feet. His fear of Zane grew exponentially being Zane soon punched him in the chest, sending him into the ground. Zane soon sprouted a dragon limb and the limb picked up Blaze by the throat, dangling off the floor. Zane sighed as he said,"Since I'm feeling generous, do you give up?'.

His mask didn't show the raw determination behind Zane's eyes. "Never!" yelled Blaze. He tried to escape but failed. "Well, I tried to be nice. Lets see. I'll go with this one first. Vulcan Emperor Kaiser Carnage!" said Zane. He threw Blaze a good distance away and rushing toward the stunned devil. Zane held his swords using his mind being Cardinal Etcher, Espada, Forsaken Dirge, Spectral Sun, and Striker.

Zane smiled as he said while holding Lazarus Soul,"This blade is the physical embodiment of my soul and like me, I can break the limits of my soul to crush anything in my path!". His sword soon glows dark purple and gold being that a new sword appears in its place. Instead of a katana, it changes to be a very uniquely-shaped broadsword being that the blade is only shorter than Zane ,whatever height big or small, by a few inches.

The blade look like to be a bigger version of the previous blade being that it’s still curved, double-edged, and slender. The edge is reddish purple and the blade is reddish black looking like metal scales with a flame like pattern to it, being like Vulcan Emperor. The hilt is the exact same as being that it’s black ,with a purple criss cross pattern looking like a circuit board, wrapping. It’s also long enough to be used with two hands.

The eight pointed maple leaf flower/snowflake handguard is also the same being that the string that once hanged from the end of the pommel is a silver spiked chain in the same vein as the Enigma Talisman. "No! That sword! Keep it away from me!" said Skull Plague. "Is he scared of that blade or what?" thought Blaze. Zane sliced Blaze being that the effects of his attack didn't appear until Zane landed, causing six massive cuts to appear on Blaze's body.

The man soon emitted a painful cry being even more intense than any other pain that he has felt before being that even though the swords were long gone due to Zane returning them back to the pocket dimension, Blaze could feel the pain coursing throughout his body. "Do you give up?" said Zane with him emitting more power. Blaze didn't answer him but his head shook for him. "Sorry but you can't say no to fighting him devil. Good luck with surviving." said Skull.

Zane shrugged as he said,"Oh whatever. Lets end this with the final attack for the folks watching me kicking your ass. Vulcan Emperor Kaiser Devastation is its name. This attack cannot be stopped. This attack denies destiny, breaking both time and space, and will destroy all its path!". Zane soon focused all of his energy into all of Zane’s cannons and forms a dragon like face with each one. The cannons matches Vulcan Emperor’s scales.

The armored panel in his chest opened up, revealing a cannon and his mouth turns into a cannon as well. Zane also makes a thin but long cannon barrel appear in front of him with him soon firing out several beams in all directions. All of them decimates the area around Zane, with it taking almost ten minutes for the debris and smoke to clear enough to see anything. Once that clears, the sky around Zane is destroyed.

He looked over at Blaze being that he was barely alive but back to normal. The area looked very much devastated. He soon held himself against the bricks of the statue being that even with the power he gained from Skull Plague, he still lost. He was fading in and out of consciousnesses but he looked up to see an image that would haunt him for the rest of his life. It was Zane's smirk. Zane removed his helmet with him striking the "V" sign and he said,"I won! Suck it devils!".

Zane soon looked at Blaze with him saying,"Now, I need to make sure that you'll never bother Rae and my friends ever again.". He walked toward Blaze, holding Lazarus Soul and was going to stop him in the chest. "No. Stay away from me! I lost!" said Blaze. "Yeah you did." said Zane. "No! Don't hurt him!" shouted Avril, disappearing in a magic circle. Archie followed suit. Archie knew that out of everyone here, she was the most scared of what Zane could do to her.

Despite the enemy being much stronger than her, he admired something about his sister. Even in the face of danger, she wanted to protect her brother. Zane looked at the two siblings who were heading toward them with Zane smiling. He soon held his sword and rushed toward her with Avril closing her eyes in fear. Nothing happened for a while with her slowly opening her eyes to see the sword's hilt hitting her forehead in a light gesture.

Zane confidently smiled as he said,"Relax. I didn't expect you to go out of your way to save the very cocky gecko. I think I made him learn his place. So if you don't want to make me mad, you two may want to stay out of my way.". Avril looked right at the sword. It was radiating power being that she soon moved onto its owner's eyes. She could now see what Rachel see in Zane for a very long time now. It's his ferocity, bravery, loyalty, drive, strength, heart, and compassion. 

All of those things and everything else radiated from Zane's smile being that the devil's face blushed bright red. Zane removed his blade from her before turning it back to its normal state and looked to the cracked sky and his eyes pierced the crowd for both good and bad reasons. They were either scared of the power that Zane contained in his body. It made all of the previous Zeroes look pathetic in comparison.

Zane smiled as he said,"I'm sure you learned your place Blaze and I hope all of them learned your place. Don't mess with Rachel Powell or my friends or else?! I don't care whatever species you are and whatever your rank is! If you make my friends cry at all, you'll have to answer to me Legion Zero!". His armor were radiating with power. "So Zane, are you going to kill my brother?" said Archie.

Zane slowly turned to the second son of the Salamander Clan and he said,"Nope. It was more of an intimation tactic. I freed Skull Plague's influence from Blaze hopefully. You two may want to get Blaze out of here being that well, he's near death. I really beat the immortality out of him." Archie soon picked up his older brother and put him over his shoulder. Avril looked at Zane with Zane just smiling.

Her face was bright red and she said in a flustered tone,"What?!". "I never noticed this before but you are pretty cute. I mean your attitude was a major turn off for me plus I'm into devilish redheads not devilish blonds. We're the same. Both of us got attitude and personality that aren't appealing but we have people who love us. So we're pals right? I mean I did hurt your brother but I can be friends with you right?" said Zane. "No that's not how it works!" yelled Avril.

Archie laughed with him saying,"Let me guess. You're going to be teasing her from now on aren't you?". "Yep. I'm sure you'll be trying to change the Supernatural District." said Zane. "Yeah. Blaze may be stubborn but I'm sure using you to scare him into submission will work." said Archie. "That's a nice way of doing it." said Zane. "The match is over! The winner is Zane Alvarez, future king of Terrarune!" declared Ignacio.

He turned toward Rachel with her smiling brightly. "Zane. You did it you son of a bitch." said Rachel with her voice filled with pure happiness. She was going to cry but she had shed enough tears for a long time. "This battle is over. Go to him." said Ignacio, warmly smiling. Without warning, Rachel expand her devil wings. The floor beneath Zane and the two devils soon began to collapse and the sky shatter to pieces. "Huh. I guess the dimension is falling apart." said Zane.

As Zane stood there, he watched the Ingram family leave using the portal. He deactivated Emperor Mail with him slowly descending toward the ground. He would have stopped himself but he was going to be just fine. "Nice job Zane. You destroy an entire dimension. Color me impressed." said Cole. "Quite. It seems that we made an impression. I think it's a good and bad one. So where did you send Buzz?" said Athena.

Before Zane could answer her, he was caught by Rachel who hugged him tightly. Rachel was crying her eyes out with these tears being tears of joy. "Thank you Zane. You saved my life!" said Rachel as she embraced him, with her crying more happy tears. She was finally free. "Rae! Everyone is watching us including your very attractive older brother!" said Zane, smiling. Rachel looked at him with her soon laughing.

She wiped away the tears as she said,"Why must you try and ruin the moment? Please don't tell me that you're crushing on Ignacio.". "A little but I want to see you happy not sad. Kinda fought to bring back the smile I fell for. I only have my eyes set on a Powell whom I just saved from the worse engagement ever." said Zane. She smiled as she rested his cheek against his forehead fondly. She was crying as she said,"I know that you don't want me to cry but sorry, I'm just so happy. You freed me.".

Zane smiled as he said with Rachel running her hand through his hair,"Don't worry Rae. I don't mind at all plus after all of your crying, you'll start smiling again right? When I met you when we were just kids, I promised that I would protect you no matter what. This applies to all of the girls who I love so much and my family which includes every one of my friends. You're worth fighting for Rae and don't you forget it.". He soon kissed her, signify the end of the engagement.

A bit later, Zane stood in a garden like area with him holding Rachel's right hand. "So when's the wedding you two?" said Danny, nudging Zane. "Not for a good long while right? I rather not deal with another wedding like this again." said Gwen. "Indeed." said Allen. Wolfram hugged his master's new lady as he said,"You'll be a good lady for my master Rae!". "I know that but first, I have to go through the Alvarez initiation." said Rachel.

Kevin looked at Zane who raised his hands up in defense. "Hey. That is my family thing not mine." said Zane. "So how are you two getting back?" said Heidi. "Like this." said Zane, whistling. Buzz soon appeared with the Pegasus quacked. "So why is he a Pegasus now Zane? I distinctly remember him being a duck." said Danny. "Puberty is weird for all species Danny." said Zane with Buzz nodding. "So where did you send him exactly Zane?" said Jordan.

Buzz looked at Zane with Zane saying,"It's a secret.". "And that's one of your best things. You love keep us in suspense. We should probably getting going." said Rachel. "Aw but I really see your room and find teasing material for my devil." said Zane. "That so isn't happening. Come on Zane. We'll need some us time to consummate our union." said Rachel with her not being bashful. She dragged Zane away, leaving him and Leo blushing red.

As the Pegasus flew away into the distance, Ignacio stood on a balcony overlooking them with his wife by his side. "So how did you expect Zane to leave if he lost?" said Gayle. "He would find a way to get out of here." said Ignacio. He smiled being that he was proud of the man that his little sister had chosen. "I'm just happy that this shame of a marriage didn't happen. Rachel fell for Zane hard and it's like us isn't it?" said Gayle.

She smiled as Ignacio said,"I'm pretty sure that I didn't have to fight another devil clan for you but I can see your point. I'm thankful that this Zero is resourceful and has a strong will for one. He proved that saving my sister.". "Yeah. My favorite student totally is different from the norm but that's a good thing these days." said a voice  Gayle and Ignacio turned around to see Conner standing there with the devil king saying,"Enjoy the show? I know you're quite good at appearing wherever you want.".

Conner shrugged as he said,"I sure did. Zane's quite the fighter. After taking down Blaze who has been screaming for revenge on Zane, his chances of killing Skull Plague have gone up and his approval rating has gone up in Terrarune.". "So as his secret to a few royal adviser, you're thinking about having all of Terrarune united one day." said Gayle. "Yep. I just got to tell Zane that I'm his royal adviser first. He's been so busy lately so I haven't had a chance to." said Conner.

He shrugged as he said,"I'll tell him but the kid needs to enjoy his youth before he gets involved in politics. You can't punch your way out of that." said Conner. "Amen to that. I'm sure that he could but it won't be easy." said Ignacio. "So will Blaze be fine Conner?" said Gayle. "He will be but I'm sure Blaze will attack Zane once again but like today, he will lose and maybe Zane will show no mercy to him whatsoever." said Conner.

In the Omniverse or Universe Path, Zane was observing the Omniverse. The chariot that Buzz was dragging behind was protecting his passengers. Zane wanted to explore this massive place one day being that despite the evil plaguing it, its beauty shined. As he was looking around, Rachel placed a hand on his cheek softly. She looked at him with a pained expression and a pout. Zane decided to listen the mood with his humor much to Team Legion Zero saying no.

Zane smiled as he said,"So why is my lovely fiancée pouting? I just saved you from that dreadful wedding you know. I should see be seeing a smile not a pout. I mean you're wearing such a beautiful dress. You would make your mom proud wearing it. It looks better on you than it ever will on your sisters who is a solid seven out of ten. I would rank her lower but most devils are physical appealing despite their dreadful personality.".

Rachel giggled at Zane's comment before she went to staring back at him sadly. "So what's up? My amazing sense of humor usually makes you happy." said Zane. "I think she's wondering what we had to give up for the Emperor Mail partner and no one thinks your sense of humor is good since it tends to pissing people off all the time." said Sivarth, making his voice heard to both teens and horse with the equid/horse not really paying attention.

Rachel sighed as she said,"I'm happy Sivarth. I think I'm the only one who likes Zane's humor despite it being undisputed bad. Tell me what that armor cost you. You already lost your Essence twice being that Sivarth took it the first time and then Malik burned it.". "Nothing." said Sivarth. "Really? You aren't lying to protect him are you Sivarth?" said Rachel, glaring at Zane's left hand that was glowing crimson red. "He is not." said Azalea.   

Rachel blinked as she said,"Who is that?". "Nice to meet you Akostar Clan princess. My name is Azalea Rezarod. I've been living inside of your fiance since his training. My father in law or Leif found me just after I left the Infinite Void. I was separated from him due to an old enemy who is long dead. It happened before you two were born. I haven't made my appearance till now since I need time to recover after being in the Infinite Void." said Azalea.

Rachel looked at Zane's right hand being that there were a sapphire blue glow. "So when were you going to tell me about her Zane?" said Rachel. "When she was back to normal. I didn't want her to introduce until she was ready. I don't like rushing my friends's recovery." said Zane. "She's correct your highness. I'm sure you hate being referred to your title like Zane does so what should I call you?" said Azalea.

Rachel looked at Zane with her saying,"Just call me Rae. My title was the Mistake but now, I'm the heroine Riptide.". She made her scarlet red energy appear with her saying,"So do you know why I had trouble controlling this energy?". "Nope. I never asked." said Zane. "Like Sivarth before he was sealed in his tomb, my Ardor is similar to his Tyrannus Nether. So how did you evolve the Hyperion Mail and creating the Emperor Mail?" said Rachel, getting back on topic.

Sivarth sighed as he said,"The Hyperion Mail was upgraded due to our bond Rachel. It's also one half of Zane's potential. His potential is able to access all of Lucifer's powers aka Predator State and the evolution of the Hyperion Mail. So Zane, you can handle this from here?". "Yeah. You two overgrown lizards have fun." said Zane. The two glows were gone as Rachel looked at Zane. "I'll keep being the same man you love forever since I don't plan on dying whatsoever." said Zane.

He held her hands with him saying,"I'm willing to fight for you for whatever cost it may cause me but I won't change who I am. The lovable fool.". "I know that but maybe one day, we could be married for real not just a dream I've had for a while now. I really doubt any more suitors are going to come after you being that you demolished Blaze into a bloody pulp which was amazing but he will come back. He can regenerate and he's very stubborn like you." said Rachel.

Zane tilted his head as he said,"Are you sure about that? I mean even with Skull Plague's help, he lost to me Rae.". "Be serious Zane." said Rachel. "I am." said Zane. "Zane." said Rachel. She turned away from Zane, hiding tears from Zane. Zane took her chin and gently guided her eyes to his. "I'll always be there for you Rae. Even if I die, you can bring me back from the dead as a devil. Nothing will stop me from protecting you Rae. I'll always be there for you okay?" said Zane, smiling.

Rachel felt her heart stop. The feeling of his touch, the softness in his eyes, being that she couldn't look away from the hero. Her hero. Zane wiped a single tear from her face with his thumb. She knew what he meant being that he did what he does best. Saving people. "Now. I think we're overdue for my reward." said Zane. Rachel was quiet before she said,"Huh.". He soon kissed her, pulling his face into here.

It was another lip-lock that the two had shared but it was passion and love. Rachel's eyes were closed and Zane could sense that she was happy plus he enjoyed the kiss. They flew past the moon as Zane removed his lips from hers. Her face was bright red and steam escaped her ears. "You're real cute. I mean I've already kissed you like five times by now and by the way, I'm not stopping with the kisses any time soon." said Zane, smiling.

Rachel smirked as she said,"I know that I'm not your first since Rain beat me by ten years but I'm sure I can be first in another place.". "If it's handholding, you already lost to my mom." said Zane. "I was thinking about somewhere else and I'm sure you where I mean. I'm still a little sad that you and I couldn't do it before we were interrupted by other matters." said Rachel, pouting playfully. "I'm sure we could continue where we left off in due time and we'll go into the cows come home." said Zane.

Rachel smiled as she said,"Okay. So after initiation, we'll have fun together. Sound like fun?". "Oh it does and ignore any of the beings inside of you. If we do this, I don't want to have a fourth kid. I'm sure Atem, Uriel, and Zoey would love a sibling but I'm already really busy." said Zane. "Oh. You're right. Too young to be a mother but I'm not against the idea." said Rachel. She leaned against him as she said,"I really like you Zane.".

She had a blush on her face with him saying in a confident tone,"Of course you do since I'm such a catch with my great personality, amazing jokes, and spectacular body.". This comment earned him a soft punch in the shoulder by the devil as they flew past the Prime Dimension's moon. "You can be really worse than Blaze you know that?" said Rachel. "Yeah but I'm not screwing my sister. Ana isn't into me that way." said Zane. "Keep this up and I'll marry Blaze next time if he asks." said Rachel.

Zane smirked as he said,"Go ahead! Next time, I may not save you since you're going with clearly the wrong devil.". "You're a real jerk sometimes." said Rachel. "But the lovable kind. I missed you Rae since you've been gone for a while tomorrow. You're my best ,female, friend since Danny is my best friend." said Zane. "So I needed to tell you something." said Rachel. "What? Is it that you actually love Wolfram more than me? I understand. Wolfram is a cutie after all" said Zane.

Rachel smiled with her saying,"I decided that I'm going to live with you if that isn't a problem with you?". "Nope. I was going to ask you and the other girls if you wanted to live with me. Me, Sly, and Wolfram are always looking for roommates. Wolfram mainly. I'm not going for anything sexual other than kisses and hugs until we decided to go the full nine yards. I'm good with just enjoying the love that we have now." said Zane, with Rachel cuddling onto him as they returned back home.

Next time,
With Rachel's engagement long and over with, how will things look for our hero now going forward in his life? Will Skull Plague corrupt anyone else that goes against Zane? What is Basalt planning against Zane? What is the Odium Society planning against Zane? What are the folks in the black cloaks planning against Zane? This and more next time on Zero!

Five Devils Clan of Terrarune.
Akostar Clan: Energy.
Dwarf Clan: Earth.
Kraken Clan: Water.
Salamander Clan: Fire.
