Zero Episode 126 Enemy Territory


A/N: Welcome to Episode 126 which will hopefully come out before the end of the month like I mention in the last post. I'll be doing my very best at getting this out before the end of month since there will be a big chance to the Zero story at the end of this little arc. I'll admit that I'm not the best writer but I'll be wrapping up a lot of plot events thanks to this little change. Zero will be changing forever.

Like I mentioned in the last Author Note, we have some topics to talk about. I was going to do all three topics in one but I decided to do it one at time. It won't be back to back but honestly, it's good to take your time on something. Lets start with Steven Universe since it isn't owned by Disney yet and may be owned by the company eventually. I've mentioned Steven Universe before since I didn't like it due to it taking a long time for the show to really pick up.

I still think that even after watching the show. However since the movie was coming out, I decided to give it a chance. After binging all five seasons, I can say this. It's a real good show and deserve the praise. I like the songs, most of the characters since I'm not the biggest fan of Onion, and the world it introduce. I do think that the show really picks up once Lapis ,whose my favorite Crystal Gem, shows up. That isn't for a while into the series so that's a thing I'll hold against it.

Lets talk about the character since it's honestly Steven Universe's best feature in my opinion. I like the four main member of the Crystal Gems being Amethyst, Garnet, Pearl, and Steven. It took me a while to truly like all of the characters mainly in the case of Amethyst and Pearl since it took a while for me to really like those two. Later episodes really developed them mainly shown with Pearl in the songs It's Over isn't it and Do it for her.

Amethyst's development was shown with her relationship with Steven as the misfits among the group being that Smoky Quartz is a good fusion. Now I liked Garnet for the start since she seems to be the serious member of the group but can crack a joke once in a while. I use female pronouns for the gems since other than Steven, I didn't see any gems that identify as male. Rainbow Quartz 2.0 is one of them and well, Rainbow is something you need to see once in your life.

Speaking of fusions, I knew about Garnet being a fusion since I read the spoilers for Steven Universe before I binged the series. I'm usually a very strict person when it comes to spoilers since I hopefully haven't spoiled Endgame probably. I also knew about the Rose bombshell and seeing the story with the spoilers mind, they made it kinda clear that Rose is spoiler. I won't spoil who she really is. Her identity is already known but just to make sure.

It's like Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker's father but there is always one person who doesn't know the twist. I'll say this about the twist. She kinda made the right choice in terms of her outfit. I mean compared to the other diamonds, her outfit is rather childish. That's the point but man, it's just not very appealing. I do have one problem when it comes to Garnet and honestly, I think it's rather petty in my opinion.

My problem with Garnet is that I wish that we saw more of Ruby and Sapphire separate rather than together. Keystone Motel and the Question are two of my favorite episodes since it focuses on them and their relationship. I'm going to say this. I really didn't mind Ronaldo Fryman which is saying something. If there is one thing I knew about Steven Universe other than the joke about the show featuring Lesbian Space Rocks, Ronaldo isn't well liked.

I can see why but honestly, we didn't see him too much plus we got other good supporting characters such as the Cool Kids, Sadie, Greg, and Nanefua. I skipped the episode that featured Ronaldo and it's universally hated from what I gathered. I decided to skip it because I just wanted to. I really like the Cool Kids and one of my favorite episode of the show is Joy Ride because it's a good episode fight me.

So the other problem about Steven Universe I've noticed is the animation errors and honestly, it didn't bother me and I binged the series. It's honestly something that gives Steven Universe something to talk about. I'm not the type to notice that kind of stuff. It's like how I don't noticed frame drops in games unless it's super obvious. So would I recommend this show over Gravity Falls? No. I like Gravity Falls more.

It doesn't take as long for the story to be good plus it also has some fighting in it unlike Steven Universe. Steven is more pacifist than fighter and that's fine but sometimes, I really want to see a punch being thrown. So check out Steven Universe and my favorite gem is Lapis. I like blunt characters shown with Zane often. I love her song That Distant Shore the most since it's so good and fits Lapis perfectly.

I wish Bismuth got a song but maybe, we might get that in the movie. Out of every one of the Crystal Gems, I hope Bismuth gets more screen time since honestly, I think she needs character development and maybe Jasper can get a character redemption arc. I think Here Comes a Thought works without context of Steven Universe. You may see these songs featured on the blog but I won't say what I'm going to do with that yet.

This episode will be featuring a good amount of villains of Zane's rogues. I'll be completely honest on this being that some of them will have but some of them will have some lines. It'll be a lot of cameos. Think the Lego Movies with all of those cameos from several properties owned by Lego and you'll get what I'm trying to do. Lets begin in prison. Yes, you read that right. This will make sense and hopefully, you enjoy this.

Narrator P.O.V.
In front of Thunder Cove Detention Center, a swat car had driven up to the gate with the security guard looking at it. The driver's window went down as the officer driving said,"We got a very Special Guest.". "Which one?" said the security guard. "The one that's the warden told us about and the guest of honor for the Correction Center." said the driver. "Really? You actually got him? He doesn't seem like the type to go willing." said the guard.

The driver shrugged as he said,"Don't know how we got him but we did. Now open it up.". The guard nodded as he pressed a button inside of his station. The main door to the prison opened as the swat car drove in and stopped in the middle of the yard. The ground around the car soon began shaking a bit with four metal towers coming out of the ground around the car. They soon produced a light and began scanning the car.

The officer in the passenger seat looked confused as the driver said,"Don't worry rookie. This extra security check is just to make sure that we're not members working for those crime boss.". "Ah. So what happens if the alarm goes off?" said the rookie. "No idea. No one would be stupid enough to break into Thunder Cove and especially the Correction Center." said the more senior officer. The towers soon went back into the ground and then the car soon went into the ground.

The rookie officer was currently looking around to see that he, his partner, and their prisoner were going through the earth through a tube. "This is so cool! I heard about this ground elevator at the academy but I thought that it was a rumor." said the rookie. "You're right. We've kept it a secret from the public mainly the news but since we have him, the news will know thanks to a certain man and we'll see if the Correction Center can survive its opening night." said the senior officer.

A bit later, the officer duo were soon carrying their prisoner with his appearance being covered by the officers. They walked past accomplished businessman Derrick Price and a very smug looking Curtis Goodwin. His smirk had been plastered on his very punchable face since he heard about the news about the rumored Correction Center and its most recent prisoner. He actually rushed here upon hearing the news. 

Curtis turned to Derrick as he said,"So what's this for again Price? You've been building this super secret section of the prison just for those freaks in tights right?". "Yes Derrick. Correct Center is going to be the pinnacle of ultra maximum security incarnation. Throw a super villain in here and well, they'll never leave. It's one way and getting a chance to leave." said Derrick. Captain ,who was on his way to a promotion to Chief of Police, Scott Castro joined them as Curtis began laughing.

Curtis smiled as he said,"And you're speaking my language Price! We're finally putting this criminal mastermind behind bars with his fellow ingrates! We won't be seeing him any time soon!". "You're really enjoying this aren't you Curtis?" said Scott. "I am because he's a menace and well, this moment is like my birthday and Christmas combined!" said Curtis. The two officers and their prisoner went over to a security guard who placed his hand on a panel.

The wall next to the panel opened up to reveal a high tech door. It's a pure white room and looked to be quite big. There was a toilet and bed there. "Oh wow. I'm getting the best cell but it's missing the view over the ocean like I asked." said the prisoner. Curtis pushed the prisoner inside and onto the ground as he said,"Shut up! You're getting what you deserve menace!". The door closed behind the prisoner as the prisoner stood up despite being in a rather tight full-body straitjacket.

The prisoner is actually Legion Zero with Zane saying,"Well, I've got myself into a predicament so what should I do?". He looked around and hopped onto the bed. He looked up to see four ceiling-mounted, cameras with him knowing that those cameras are hiding machine guns just itching to blast Zane into pieces if he thought about escaping. The room is covered to the brim in sensors that will be monitoring his vital functions.

It reacts to the slightest moment and well, the guards are able to use lethal force if the warden or a higher up allows it. "Just so you know brick chin. I'm only in here because Derrick and Scott asked me to test out their new super prison not because I'm a menace. The only menace whose in here is you so maybe you should be in here not me." said Zane. "So whose up for singing? I got the perfect song!" said Cole. He was stopped before he could start.

Back in the control room, the trio of Curtis, Derrick, and Scott were watching the monitors that showed Zane. Derrick and Scott smiled at the hero's humor while Curtis was annoyed. "So do you mind if I...." said Curtis. "Nope. Can't have you killing our special guest due to your grudge on him Curtis." said a voice. The three turned around to see the warden of Thunder Cove Adrian Rhodes standing there. He's a middle-aged African American/Japanese male.

Yes. An African American/Japanese male whose father is African American and mother who is Japanese American. He's a very diverse man and has been rumored to have Native American in him somewhere. He has a somewhat muscular figure with medium-length black hair and brown eyes. He has a thick beard. He wears small, round glasses with tinted lenses. He's wearing an unbuttoned navy blue suit jacket with a white suit and black tie. He has his Warden's badge on his suit.

He wears khakis with a black belt and black shoes. He has a broad smile with multiple wrinkles ,from stress of the job, on his face. "Why not?! You're allowed lethal force right?!" said Curtis. Two of the security guards in the room rolled their eyes as Adrian chuckled. "We are but only when the prisoner is acting childish like yourself." said Adrian. Curtis grumbled as he glared at Zane who was sitting on his bed, doing nothing.

Outside of Thunder Cove Detention Center, a van was driving up to the prison. The same guard from earlier walked up to the driver. The driver is female as she was wearing the typical uniform for Champion Tech. "It's another sensor for the prison. The boss man says that you can't have enough sensors when it comes to the criminals inside." said the woman, handing the guard a clipboard and revealing her name to be Ardis ,which is a real name I think, Landrum.

The guard nodded as he said,"Your paperwork clears out. Know where to go Ms. Landrum?". "I do indeed." said the woman. The guard handed her back the clipboard as she closed the window and drove forward. "You can remove the disguise now Kelly. We're in. Even after all this time, I never thought I would go back to prison after my redemption." said Adris, removing her cap and fake glasses.

The normal looking woman was soon covered in silver ,with emerald green lines covering it, tendrils as a seemingly normal woman was replaced by a supermodel of a woman. She’s an height of 5 foot 9 with a slender, yet curvy and toned build and fair skin. Her body is in the prime of her life. She has a toned stomach, long muscular yet shapely legs, buxom breasts, and ripped broad shoulders. She has long and wavy silver hair reaching her shoulders and lilac colored eyes. She has full lips.

Her outfit is fitting for a spy or cat burglar. She's wearing a very form-fitting black and gray jumpsuit which does a great job at highlighting and accentuating her well-toned form. There is a silver moon emblem on the chest and shoulders. Her uniform is half zipped just below the collarbone and did a good job at showing off her breasts. It also has black padding on the knees. It’s lined with emerald green around the collar and down the front to the pelvic area.

She wears a black ,with a simple stripe of emerald green and silver moon emblem belt buckle, utility belt which carries various tools and gear and wears a pair of sliver and red gauntlets on each wrist that can transform into bracelets. She carries a gray pistol stored on the right side of her waist and a gray knife stored on the left side of her waist. She's wearing black high heeled boots. The woman turned right as she stopped the van over a storm drain and smiled.

After pressing a button on the dashboard, she went to the back of the van. The floor below her opened and revealed the storm drain. She knew about the prison's impressive security system and was done by Champion Tech. Despite the company being part of the famous conglomerate Price Co, it was easy to break into as seen many times. She pulled out two green and silver clamps and placed them down onto the sewer grate.

The woman soon heard the van's on-board computer AI say,"Alarm down for maintenance.". The woman soon produced green acid from her palms and it melted the bars. She jumped in and held out her right gauntlet. "Okay. Time to see where you are my special friend." said the woman. Her gauntlet produced a holographic image of the prison both Thunder Cove and the Correction Center. "This is going to be a mission for the record books." said the woman as she was crawling through the sewer.

Back in the control room, the group of Adrian, Curtis, Derrick, and Scott watched Zane who escaped his straitjacket ,through phasing through it, and was sticking upside down, mediating. "Ha! He's been that spiritual crap for over an hour now! You defeat the powerful menace Derrick! You should be proud of that!" said Curtis. "He did escape his jacket rather ease through." said Scott. The reporter ignored Scott's response but Derrick didn't have a chance to respond to Curtis.

His phone rang as the CEO answered it. "Morris. I'm in the middle of a important test. It's something we've been working on for years. What? Alright then." said Derrick, ending the call. "Gentleman. It seems that I have to leave." said Derrick. "What?! You can't leave now. You're going to miss the menace's glorious failure and my success!" said Curtis. "No choice in the matter. It's urgent Price Co business." said Derrick. "Champion Tech get robbed again?" said Scott, crossing his arms.

Derrick chuckled as he said,"Not this time. Beside, I'm sure I'll be hearing about Zero in great detail in tomorrow Apex Mind.". "Ha! The story is already written!" said Curtis. Derrick left the room with everyone watching Legion Zero sitting there. Inside of the prison, Zane sat there and was talking to his team. "So who wants to bet that Curtis is dancing like a fool right now?" said Zane, leaping down and got ready to do something.

Kane said,"That's a stupid bet Zane. No one would be stupid enough to bet on that. So have either Athena and Cole found a way out of here yet?". "We first need to get out of this room and from what I can tell, we need to get rid of those sensors. They're monitoring our vital functions and if we say try to break out of here, we'll be blasted to pieces and I'm sure that we don't want to break out of here like a savage right?" said Athena.

Zane nodded, sitting down on his bed and putting his arms behind his head. "So? From what I can tell, this place is escape proof. It's able to even hurt Phantoms with their bullets powered by the same thing as Agent Phoenix." said Lucifer. "And that matters why? I really want to see the look on Curtis's face if you escape Zane. We can't play coward forever so we have to make a move or asked to leave which will make you look weird. You aren't weak." said Sivarth.

Azalea said,"Look on the brighter side here Sivarth. At least "Zane" isn't missing the school play and breaking his promise to his harem.". "That's his robot doppelganger though. He may be able to mimic Zane but I'm sure the girls would you to be there." said Twilight. "I know but Derrick and Scott asked for me to do this." said Zane. "At least, they're understanding." sad Cole. "Yeah. It's time to leave. Ready to begin Operation Breakout?" said Zane.

Athena sighed as she said,"Yeah but it's a pretty generic name.". Zane shrugged as he got ready to begin his plan of escape. The people inside of the control room watched Zane's body began to create ten sharp looking candy syrup bombs from his body. Just as the camera were about to fire their guns at Zane, the bullets were blocked by the candy syrup. "What's he doing?" said Curtis. "Making his move. Using candy syrup to block the guns. Clever move. That stuff is pretty durable." said Scott.

He knew this from experience as his men often had a hard time getting rid of the stuff when it's attached to their prisoner. "He may be smarter than most prisoners but he's trapped. My men will be there in...." said Adrian. Back in the prison cell, Zane released a huge wave of electricity from his body and made his own personal EMP that only effected anything electronic within the room rather than the whole prison. This move shorted out the sensors. 

Zane looked at the square air vent and he said,"Time to make my move. Those guards will be here in a few minutes and not too partial on fighting the police any time soon. May be doing it but not right now". He soon threw a Curved Atlatl right at the glowing light inside of the vent. He jumped next to it and several wires came out of his right gauntlet. It soon attached to the wires that were inside of the glowing light.

Outside of the cell, several guards were running over to the locked cell with gas masks on. "Releasing the sleeping gas." said Adrian from inside of the control room. "We're in position sir." said a guard as he opened the door. There was nothing inside of the room beside gas. It was the normal green color with a trace of black smoke. "Sir. I don't see the prisoner. Is he invisible?" said a second guard. "Yes! It says that he's in there so move in!" said Adrian, opening the door from the control room.

The guards walked inside of the room, looking for Zero. "Where is he?" said the guard. "You should have stayed outside where it's safe." said a voice. The two guards's masks were removed by a black smoke hand. They were trying to breathe air but they couldn't thanks to the gas. Both of them were unconscious and lying on the ground. The black smoke soon floated out of the room and reformed into Smoke Form. "Tada." said Zane, throwing up a V sign.

He deactivated Smoke Form and locked his cell door with him heading into the main hallway. Zane looked up at a camera and he said,"And you said that I couldn't escape Curtis, don't you foolish? See you soon!". He ran off as in the control room, Curtis was clenching his teeth. "Rhodes! If that menace isn't back in his cell in 5 seconds, I'll....!" said Curtis. "Calm down Goodwin. Getting out the cell was just round 1. The battle is still going. Lockdown!" said Adrian.

Inside of the heavily armored steel-plated hallways, Zane was running down and he saw a door about to close right in front on him. "Zane. You need to move now. Those doors are strong enough to handle a high powered explosive and can't be phased through." said Sivarth. "Right. Time to go fast!" said Zane, swapping into Chronos Form. The robot's hands glowed blue as time was slowing down and began flying through the hallway.

He easily made passed the closing doors and returned time back to normal as he smirked right at the camera. In the control room, Adrian clenched his teeth as he said,"Gas the corridors!". One of the guards pulled down a level but nothing happened. "Sir. The gas isn't working!" said a guard. Curtis watched Zane fly through another gate as he shouted,"Why aren't the gates closing?!". "I demanded a lockdown so why isn't he trapped?!" said Adrian.

A guard said,"Sir. I hit the command sequence! Everything should be closed but nothing on this desk is responding!". Curtis facepalmed as Scott said,"You've been hacked Rhodes. You're no longer in electronic control of your prison.".  "Oh really? It's a good thing we have a backup in case of this happening." said Adrian. He held his cellphone up to his ear and said,"All officers! Mobilize! We have a code Black!".

The guards ,inside of the control room, were running toward the gate behind them, trying to open it but couldn't. "We're locked in!" said a guard. Adrian was shocked by this with the rest of the guards were trapped inside different sections of the prison. "Every single one of my men. Trapped inside of their station." said Adrian. "But how did the menace do it?!" yelled Curtis. George knew that locking up the guards wasn't Zane's MO but who was it?'

Above Thunder Cove, Hellion Baron was floating there and trying on a tablet. "With the guards all trapped, they're unable to stay the mayhem and it's time to keep Zero on his toes." said Hellion Baron. In the prison, Zane flew past another open gate and closing down on him. "They should have come after me but haven't." said Zane. "I didn't lock anyone in their stations." said Athena as a door nearly crushed Zane.

Zane deactivated Chronos Form with him heading over toward a nearby elevator. It was currently under construction and saw a long pole. He soon flew up the elevator shaft and Crisis Judgement went off. He saw the broken elevator heading toward him as Cole said,"So we didn't do that. I'm going to guess that someone has hacked into the prison.". It was Hellion Baron on his tablet. "That's a good guess Einstein." said Kane, rolling his eyes.

Zane soon passed by a closed door and he ripped it open. He entered the door as the elevator missed him and saw all of the gates in front of him closing in front of him. He soon jumped toward them and slid across the floor, successfully evading being crushed once again. "Okay. That's another close call so lets stop doing that." said Zane. "Can't you just reform from being crushed? Remember when you got crushed by a giant water fist and then a building thanks to Harvey and Roger?" said Twilight.

Zane stretched as he said,"Yeah but it's just a pain to do it. So Athena, mind telling me where we are right I didn't get a chance to take a good look at where Thunder Cove ends and where the CC begins before I was thrown into the back of the swat car. It wasn't a gentle throw either.". He was walking down the halls as Athena said,"So according to the map we download into our systems earlier thanks to us connecting with the prison's servers....".

Cole interrupted her as he said,"Which was my idea by the way!". He was hit by Lucifer as Athena said,"Before I was so rudely interrupted, I was going to say that we're heading toward the prison cells.". "So is it empty or filled with the enemies?" said Azalea. "Yes but none of the heavy hitters that make Thunder Cove their home." said Athena. "Zane. Remember what I told about you about when you go into enemy territory." said Sivarth.

Zane nodded as he said,"Yeah. Keep a level head and stay on your toes.". Sivarth nodded as Zane soon walked through a doorway that wasn't closed. The teen entered the room and the door behind him closed. "Well, I'm trapped better make the most of this." said Zane. He soon began walking right through the cells with him not needing his impressive senses to tell that the orange garbed prisoners were looking right at him like a piece of meat or attractive woman.

Despite Thunder Cove have both male and female prisoners, the male don't see the female and vise versa too much. The only time that they see them is during meal time and time out in the yard. "Why is Zero here?" said one of the thugs that got arrested by Zane. Zane stopped walking and turned to his right. He smiled as he turned to see Atlas and Pierce looking right at him. Due to Pierce being a metahuman, he was wearing a collar that was negating his powers.

The collar is black and looks like a normal spike collar but without spikes. Instead, it has glowing lines. "So you and Atlas Pierce? Totally thought that Atlas and Rudy were a thing but you two in the same cell has some potential. So where's the rest of your crew? I don't see Rudy or male Sparky. I heard about bug boy getting captured a few days after your boss attacked Gold Commander and then the bug was found in an ice block. Ten bucks says that it was Frosty." said Zane.

Atlas glared at Zane with Pierce saying,"To answer your questions, we don't know why the two of us were picked instead of Rudy and Sawyer. Topaz is currently a special cell alongside Rampage. We'll be finding out why Cryonic froze Sawyer soon enough.". "Hold on a minute. Bug boy's real name is Sawyer? Is it bad that I kinda wish that he had water powers." said Kane. "I'm just shocked that you made a joke or tried one. Still better than any of Zane's." said Twilight.

Zane rolled his eyes as he heard a familiar voice,"So why did the prey come to the hunter? Kinda stupid if you ask me.". Zane turned around to see Clifford and a human looking Homer with the former wearing the same collar as Pierce. His skin was back to its original appearance. His eyes were back to being heterochromia aka his left eye was silver and right eye was blue. He also still has his very large scar over his right eye, pointy sharp teeth, and his mustache and beard are there as well.

The hero shrugged as he said,"No real reason. So they stuck you with the magician who got you blown up if I recall. Must be pretty bad. So how are the living conditions here? It's nice right Homer? You're trapped under ground making escape impossible because well, they made this place impossible to break out of.". "How about you open these cell doors, remove the collar, and I'll show you how nice it is." said Homer.

He tried to make his claws appear but couldn't. "Yeah right. I'm so scared of the pussy cat without his claws. He's weaker " said Zane, rolling his eyes. "You may have reverted me back to my human state through some science mumbo jumbo but I still have my skills as a hunter to end your life. You still stole Barbara and Lia from me. With my mind in tact, I'll get their location from you before I end your life Zero.". Lets find out how Homer turned back into human.

Flashback Narrator P.O.V.
Zane was looking around Cypress Park for any signs for a disturbance going on in his fair city. It had been a few days just after he defeated Blaze and was looking for a challenge. "It's quiet. Too quiet in fact." said Zane. "So why did you say that?" said Sivarth. "I always wanted to say that." said Zane as he heard a distant alarm ringing. "And that's the Omniverse calling me to action like always." said Zane, flying through the air.

He soon came to a complete stop on a building's ledge and was watching that a bakery was currently being broken into at the moment. "Okay. Lets see who's robbing some food and hopefully, it isn't a bum down on their luck." said Zane. He soon jumped down toward the broken window and took a look inside. The lights were off with Zane's night vision allowing him to see into the darkness. He couldn't hear any movements.

Kane said,"I'm going to guess that the alarm went off thanks to an idiot throwing something at the glass, breaking it.". Crisis Judgement went off as Zane jumped toward the side. Several energy knives were soon embedded within the ground. Zane stood on top of a mail box and looked to see who threw the knives. He saw Homer ,looking like he did in Zero Episode 105, growling at him and was wanting to kill Zane.

Zane looked at the once big game hunter and he said,"Homer. So how are you doing? I haven't seen you since I defeated you alongside Volty with a frog.". "Zero. I knew you would come if I made the scene for you." said Homer. "Well, I can't just ignore you stealing bread from the winged rats of the city since someone has to eat all of the stale bread. I'm sure that you'll agree with me that the pigeons are the perfect animals to bear that cross." said Zane.   

He soon jumped off the mail box and into the air as Homer threw a few more knives at Zane. "And I have to ask. I bet your hunter's rep is ruined after being unable to kill me and getting turned into a robotic feline. That's pretty sad." said Zane. Homer's eyes narrowed as he waited to throw another knife at the hero and waited for him to land so he could throw several of them at the spot he would end up at.

Zane landed and saw that the knives were heading toward him. Zane began bending his body ,thanks to transforming his body into candy syrup, to unnatural angles and the last knife ending up in his left arm. "Okay. That would hurt but honestly, it really doesn't." said Zane. He removed the knife and then landed right before Homer, punching the armored feline in the center. Homer was going to try and dodge it but Zane was too fast for him.

Homer recovered as he brought his left knee up and slammed it right into Zane's stomach. Homer grunted in pain as Zane saw this attack coming and had his stomach covered in Vulcan Emperor to prevent him receiving damage. Homer soon jumped back with him pulling out two more knives and holding them in a reverse grip. "So does your armor make those weapons of yours? I can clearly see that your armor doesn't have pockets." said Zane.

Homer swung the blades at Zane who was jumping back to avoid the swipes as Zane said,"I really hope that's the case since I don't want to know the actual truth on how you make those weapons of yours.". Zane grabbed both of the knives and flipped Homer over his shoulder and right into a fire hydrant. The force of the large man landing caused the top of it to cave in with Homer groaning in pain.

Even with his armor and his power, Zane's attack was stronger than anything that he would have got from fighting any animals. Zane soon covered the man in candy syrup and his webbing being that Homer was slowly trying to break out of it. Zane walked toward Homer with him pulling a syringe out of his costume. It was filled with dark indigo liquid as Zane looked for an opening. "What are you going to do to me?! Kill me!" said Homer.

Zane rolled his eyes as he said,"Nope. I'm turning you back to normal before the police arrive.". He soon found an opening with him sticking the syringe into Homer. Homer groaned in pain as he was out cold. He slowly reverted back to a human appearance and Zane smiled. "And that's the reason why I kept the vial to hopefully revert some of the villains back to normal." said Zane, returning the vial back to Zane's body.

He could heard a approaching police siren heading toward him and Zane stood back to admired his handiwork. "So I hope that you'll stop trying to kill me. I didn't take your love and pet. It was most likely your former or current boss Mastermind or Georgie." said Zane. "I'll get you for this Zero. You will die from taking Barbara and Lia from me." grumbled Homer. "And here I thought that you were going to change but you're stubborn as a fox." said Zane, flying off and went back to his patrol.

Zane heard,"So you're here to gloat are you? I thought you were more mature than that.". Zane turned around to face Reactor who was sitting there. He was out of his armor but thanks to his powers, he had a collar on him like Pierce. "Well, I would be the bigger man here but where's the fun in that? It's my job to make fun of crooks." said Zane. Above him, Hellion Baron began laughing as he pressed a button down on his tablet.

In the cell block, all of the doors opened up for the criminals. They all walked out of their cells and soon began to surround Zane from all sides. "Yep. I would ask all of you to head back into your cells but I doubt that's going to happen." said Zane, getting ready to fight. "Hey. Look on the brighter side here. At least two of them have their collars on." said Cole. "So if Cole jinxs us, we can hit him before you die right?" said Lucifer as Zane agreed to that request.

Two thugs rushed toward Zane as one of them said,"Get him! He can't stop all of us!". Zane jumped over the duo with him grabbed them using two sprouted tendrils form his back. The duo was thrown into a group of crooks as Zane said,"And that's a strike! I think that's what you say in baseball when you get a touchdown right? Not a big sports guy as you can tell. How about instead of attacking me at once, you fight me one on one. It's the right and manly way to fight.".

Zane phased through a thug as the thug tried to punch him. Zane pulled the thug's arm behind his back and tossed him toward another group, knocking them down. Before Zane could do anything else, Crisis Judgement went off. Zane backhanded a thug in the face and the thug fell to the ground in pain. "Oh wow. This is something else. I thought prison would have taught you all manners but they didn't. Such a shame." said Zane.

Zane jumped into the air in order to dodge four thugs trying to dog pile him. They were then trapped by a Rainbow Nether web as Zane flew through the air. He took down all of the thugs with a combo of candy syrup, Nether, and webbing. Homer jumped at Zane who dodged his attempt as the once feline man landed on his feet nearby Atlas, Clifford, Pierce, and Reactor. "Huh. Even without you looking like a cat, you still land on your feet. Who knew?" said Pierce.

Homer growled as Reactor said,"Focus. We can't waste this opportunity.". Atlas placed a hand on Clifford's shoulder with him saying,"Thomas told me something interesting about Clifford.". The man was soon covered in several dark blue glitch-like pixels. Zane watched this scene as well as Clifford was now Mystic. "So I arrested a robot duplicate of Mystic. I guess this must be bringing back bad memories huh Homer?" said Zane. 

The hero dodged an blue energy blast coming from Mystic with the hero forced to dodged him. "And this is the start of my glorious rise to power." said Reactor, smiling. In one of the cells, one of the prisoner who oddly stayed in his cell watching the fight. He was brought down here under the promise of him getting patrol after being thrown in here for twenty years for stealing some bread of all crimes. Unfair prosecution am I right?

His body was covered form head to toe in shadows. He soon heard a sound behind him as he turned around looking above him as some sort of laser cutting through the ceiling. Part of it came crashing down as the man said in a scared tone,"Um. Whose there? I'm staying in my cell and not fighting the superhero and villains out there.". He didn't get a response as he heard,"Stay still you pest!". "I would Reactor but then I would lose our game and I can't have that." said Zane's voice.

The spy's head popped out of the hole as she said,"I'm here to break out you out kind man since you were wrongfully arrested. Your queen wanted me to and we kinda want to keep our peace treaty with the people of Atlantis.". Back in the fight, Zane kept on dodging Mystic's energy blasts as he thought while landing on a railing,"Okay. Where are the guards? I'm sure they would have tried to stop this riot by now. Impulse Burst.".

He soon gathered up Impulse into both of his hands, forming two energy spheres. He soon grabbed them and threw them at the Mystic robot copy. Mystic dodged the first one but was blasted back by the second one. Mystic recovered as Zane landed on the ground. "I better play keep away until we come up with a plan." thought Zane. The other villains (Atlas, Hunter, Pierce, and Reactor) ran after Mystic and Zane with Mystic making something familiar.

It's the purple/gray bat like goblins. "Rematch! Rematch! Zero will die!" said the goblins. "And now you're stealing from Everett? How low will you go robot Clifford?! How low!" said Zane, shaking his fist. He dodged several of them and if they got close to Zane, he sprouted his stingers. Back in the control room, Curtis said with a smile,"Those goblins guys aren't bad! They're making the Menace run like a coward that he is!".

Scott turned to Curtis with him saying,"Curtis. You can't put aside your rather petty hatred of Zero for one moment can you? He's the only one who can restore control of the prison.". Curtis was quiet as Scott said,"Well, I want an answer.". "I'm thinking about it." said Curtis. Adrian looked at Zane and then pierced two of the goblins. Back in the cell with the spy, the shadow figure said,"You do know what's going on right?".

The spy nodded as she said,"Yeah. Most of Cypress Park's worst of the worst is currently chasing after Zero and end his life. They're doing a terrible job at it by the way.". She leap down and she smiled. "Do you mind waiting here?" said the spy. "Um sure. Where are you going?" said the figure as he watched the spy leave the cell by backflipping. "Okay. She's really weird but honestly, most humans are weird in my opinion." said the figure, shrugging. 

Back with Zane, Zane kicked one of the goblin into five other goblins. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane was captured by a rope. He forcefully landed on the ground as Pierce was holding the rope. "I can't believe I'm saying this but thanks boss for forcing me to go through rodeo school and I also have to thank Boy Scouts." said Pierce. "It's called Scouts BSA now Pierce." said Atlas. "Wait. When did they switch names?" said Pierce, looking at his fellow member of Tremendous.

Atlas said,"I think it was last year. Girls wanted to join I think.". "Really?! Isn't that what the Girl Scouts are? That makes no sense." said Pierce. The two argued about this as Hunter and Pierce groaned. Fun Fact, their conversation is a real thing so check it out Boy Scouts of America. I didn't know about this until early this month. "So why are they arguing about that of all things and right now?" said Athena with her clearly confused.

Azalea said,"No clue. So why didn't you try and dodge the robot Zane?". "Crisis Judgement is going off every seconds right now so I have to take a guest on what I should focus on." said Zane as he was then kicked in the face by Hunter who performed a spin kick. Hunter wasn't done as he put his hands onto the ground, delivering another spin kick to the hero's face. This sent Zane flying toward Atlas who began crushing him.

Zane tried to break out of it as Reactor clenched his fists. "Hold him still Atlas. I need to get a good work out and Zero is a good punching bag." said Reactor. Before he could throw a punch, Reactor heard,"Oh boys.". The villains turned around to see the spy standing there. "I know that you boys really hate Zero for many reasons mainly involving his loud mouth and unique humor but how about you play with me instead?" said the spy. 

Hunter looked at her with him saying,"Wow. It's a woman.". "Yeah. I mean that's obvious that but she could be a monster." said Zane, kicking Reactor. He was caught by the spy who picked him up and threw him away. "Yeah. I'm not just a pretty face." said the spy. She then dodged a punch from Hunter as she punched him. Hunter tried to punch her again but she ducked and spin kicked in the face, sending him toward Pierce.

The two were knocked toward the ground as the spy said,"So how are you doing Zero? Do you enjoy being in Atlas's arms?". Zane soon stretched his head right into Atlas's chin, letting go of Zane. Atlas was then kicked by Zane and sent toward Hunter, landing on top of them. Zane soon fired out webbing from both wrist and sent one strand toward Pierce. The other strand went toward Mystic and Zane pulled the two of them toward each other, slamming into each other.

They landed on Atlas who crushed Hunter even more. The spy was behind him as Zane said,"I'm doing good but I rather be in your arms rather than Atlas. His are too hairy.". "I see. So want to work together?" said the spy. "Sure. Mind giving your name?" said Zane. "It's Silver Moon but just call me Moon." said Moon. Zane nodded as he jumped into the air and broke out of the rope prison. Moon dodged Homer's kick as she punched him.

Homer blocked it with Moon kneed him but it got blocked once again. She tried doing a spin kick but Homer blocked it. Homer tried to punch her but Moon blocked it and she counter with another kick that was blocked by Homer. Homer tried a spin kick and Moon ducked. Homer's face was covered in candy syrup with Zane landing on him, kicking him to the ground. "Sorry about stealing your fight but you two weren't going anywhere." said Zane.

The spy shrugged as the trio of Atlas, Mystic, and Pierce rushed toward them. Moon soon aimed her left and right gauntlets at Atlas and Mystic respectively. The gauntlets soon fired out a small marble shaped object at Atlas and a disc object at Mystic. Atlas was blasted back by an explosion and Mystic was hit with a large amount of voltage by the disc. Pierce remained as he said,"You can't do nothing to me bitch!". The man soon was hit in the face by webbing.

He looked down to see that it wasn't Zane's webbing but silver ,with emerald green lines covering it, webbing. Zane turned toward Moon who smiled. "You're not the only one with a Vordlarin partner bonding to them." said Moon, pulling the webbing and causing Pierce to hit the ground. The duo soon ran into a cell where the prisoner Moon was talking to earlier was. Zane tried to close the door as he was unable to get it to stay close.

Something was holding it back as Zane said,"Not in the mood to find out why this is happening. Lets go with plan C.". He soon released a huge amount of candy syrup from his arms and made it go over the cell door. The villains tried to break through it but was unable to due to the syrup being rather sticky. "And we got some time to talk." said Zane. Above the prison, Hellion Baron watched the scene talk. "So Zero has an ally." said Hellion.

Hellion smiled as he said,"That matters not since I have the advantage in our penultimate clash. I got a couple more tricks up my sleeves.". He pressed a button on his table and it activated something. In a different wing of the prison, heavy cell doors opened up. The duo of Rampage and Topaz walked out with neither of them wearing collars like Clifford or Reactor did. This was due to their cells being made for them specifically.

Topaz looked at Rampage and he said,"So what's go big guy?". "Your pal the Baron decided to help you two out. Zero is trapped inside of the prison. End his life and well, you'll be at peace." said Hellion's voice. "Seriously?! That's awesome!" said Rampage. He ran toward the direction of the cells as Topaz looked at a camera. "So is that all you want from us?" said Topaz. "Nope. I need you to go into one place. Do you know where they keep the suits of your friend Atlas?" said Hellion.

Topaz thought about it and he smiled. "You got it!" said Topaz, going down a different direction than Rampage. Back with Zane, Reactor's voice said,"Get it open right now!". "So what did you mean by having a Vordalrin?" said Zane. "Remember fighting against Toxic Widow?" said Moon. She circled her finger around his logo. "So are you going to stop her from flirting with you?" said Lucifer. "I ain't complaining. She's hot!" said Kane.

Zane removed her finger as he said,"Yeah I do. My ribs were broken by that monster.". " Oh wow. I guess you're in serious mode. Well, I found Kelly outside of Champion Tech. She was made in the same way as Toxic from what she told me but doesn't want to kill you. About I let her introduce herself to your Vordalrin so they can be besties." said Moon. Out of the woman's suit, an silver ,with emerald green lining, slime like object came out and waved to Zane.

Zane waved back as he said,"Nice to meet you Kelly. So you're not trying to kill me?". "Nope! My creator released me to try and find a host who would be the perfect host. For the first one, that was Megan. For me, I think it's Alyssa. I mean Silver Moon!" said Kelly. "It's fine. I don't really care about him knowing my secret identity. The group I was hired for wanted me to try and use Kelly's power for good despite you doing that with yours." said Alyssa.

Zane nodded as he said,"Well, that's good. I have something to tell you about that after we finish up here. So why are you here? I do appreciate your help by the way.". "Well, I'm here to collect a man who was wrongfully placed in prison for stealing beard. He was going to be in here for twenty years so the judicial system is messed up. Want to meet him?" said Alyssa. "Sure." said Zane as the spy soon grabbed the shadow figure and unveiled his appearance to Zane.

He's a giant, bipedal fish man. He looks to be about seven feet tall with dark blue skin with spikes on his arms and lower jaw with the latter working as beard. He's rather muscular being that his arms looking to be big as an adult human and giant pectoral muscle. Despite his size, his head is rather small and square shaped. He has blue, pupil-less eyes with black outlines and sharp, white teeth. In response to his size, he's wearing a different outfit compared to the other prisoners.

He's wearing an orange prisoner uniform with ripped sleeves and black armbands and boots. He's wearing a green mask with blue spots that covered the upper half of his face. "Huh. He reminds me of Solomon except with less crystal and prettier." said Kane. Atlas and the goblins were trying to rip open the door but they weren't getting anywhere. "So annoying! So annoying! But good!" said the goblins.

Hunter and Reactor heard footsteps and turned around to see Rampage behind them. "Is he in there or what?" said Rampage. Hunter nodded as he pushed away Atlas and the goblins. "Then decided and let a real man do your job!" said Rampage. He grabbed onto the cell door and pulled it open. He then tried to get rid of the candy syrup for a moment before generating a huge amount of heat. This burned away the candy syrup wall as the prisoners walked inside to see no one inside.

Rampage punched the nearby bench as he shouted,"Damn it!". In the air vents, the trio of Alyssa, the fish man, and Zane were crawling through the air vent. "So I have a couple of questions. What's your name scales and how are you fitting in here?" said Zane, crawling along the wall. "My name isn't scales boy. It's Caspian. And that isn't important right now." said Caspian. "He's right." said Alyssa. "I would argue that it is but whatever." said Zane.

Back in Caspian's cell, Reactor looked at Topaz. The electrokinetic had freed Pierce and himself from those damn collars. "Thanks for your help with freeing me from that collar. So on my signal, we'll bring them out." said Reactor as Rampage and Topaz nodded. Back in the vents, Alyssa said,"Due to Caspian's unique appearance, he was arrested for taking bread.". "I didn't steal the bread. I payed for it but I was arrested." said Caspian.

Alyssa nodded as she said while going to the right,"Anyway, lets make this a team up. We'll help you get the prison under control and you help me get Caspian back to his people. They've been missing one of their best fighters.". "That's fine but I doubt Adrian is going to approve of that since he doesn't like prisoners leaving in the first place." said Zane. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news but is it getting hot in here or just me?" said Caspian.

Crisis Judgement soon went off as Zane sensed electricity, heat, and radiation spreading through the vents. "We have to leave now! Reactor got his powers back and I'm sure the hacker let out Rampage and Topaz too." said Zane. Alyssa and Caspian rapidly nodded as the two of them could feel it getting uncomfortably. The trio were starting to crawl faster as the metal got hotter as Zane looked behind him to see the EHR (Electricity, Heat, and Radiation) trio.

Zane launched a wave of ice at it, holding it back for a bit. Alyssa kicked a vent open as it fell onto the ground. She released a line of her webbing down to the ground with her and Caspian slowly going down. Zane jumped down with him saying,"So where are we?". "In the CC's gas chamber, this place contain the sleeping gas that would be used for the prisoner who act violent." said Alyssa. "It's pretty powerful to humans but to a fishman, it's nothing but air." said Caspian. 

Zane cupped his chin as he said,"So could you activate the gas around the prison? That's the best way of stopping them.". "The genius warden would have tried that but it failed as you can see when you escaped earlier. Bet you had a way to ignore the gas." said Alyssa, leaning against a railing. "I did so what's the plan? You have one right?" said Zane. "Yes I do. We need to lure the men here and one of us manually opens the tanks." said Alyssa.

Zane nodded as hes said,"But whoever gets stuck with that task, they'll be trapped inside.". "And they say you millennials are selfish and stupid. So will you take that risk?" said Alyssa. "Yeah. I mean they hate me a lot." said Zane. "That's an understatement. Most prisoners hate Zero from getting them stuck in here." said Caspian, crossing his arms. "So ready to play bait Zero?" said Alyssa. "Yep. Get ready to watch the expert at work." said Zane.

A bit later, Zane was flying through the seemingly empty prisoner and stopped to see the villains arguing among themselves. "So are you going to alert them to your presences?" said Twilight as Zane landed on the ground. His suit canceled his sound as Zane said,"Nah. I have a better idea.". Zane was soon in Camouflage Form and began to sneak toward them. "How about the bladed freak and the former pussy goes in there?" said Rampage.

Pierce rolled his eyes as Hunter said,"I refuse to listen to a overgrown parking lot.". Someone tapped his shoulder as Hunter looked for whoever did that. Pierce was soon kicked in the face and sent to the ground. "Come on fellas. I know you want to find the handsome and totally amazing superhero but maybe instead of arguing like kids, you spread out and look around." said a voice. "That's him! I know it!" said Topaz.

Zane rolled his eyes as he made himself appear. "Okay. Since I know all of you are going to start chasing me down, at least give me..." said Zane. "Get him!" shouted Reactor. The villains soon began running toward Zane who said,"Okay guys. That's just harsh.". Zane turned into Thermal Form with him surfing through the prison on a wave of ice. Above Thunder Cove, Hellion had a big smile plastered on his face.

Hellion said,"Zero is currently being chased up, down, left, and right through the prison! He's been chased down by the people hr's arrested!". Zane was surfing away while blasting away any electricity and plasma. Homer was the only one who didn't have any ranged attacks or powers but he was leading the chase against Zane. Zane soon saw a cell gate in front of him and said,"Hellfire Emperor Bonfire Claw!" said Zane.

Zane's eyes and mouth turned into fire being that his fire grows even stronger and hotter. He slashed down on the gate with a fiery claw and then hit by a fireball. The gate was blasted open and landed on the ground as Zane said,"Permafrost Emperor Crimson Wall!". Zane soon made a huge wall of crimson red ice ,being that it can be thick as a mountain, and it's highly durable. Three of the goblins crashed into them and froze. They crashed into the ground, breaking.

Reactor looked at the wall and he shouted,"Do you think this is going to stop us?!". "Yeah. I mean this ice is really cool and freezes upon contact." said Zane, turning to his left. He saw a door and he opened it by blasting with fire. Zane soon jumped over a railing and began falling right toward the ground. He could hear the ice breaking above him as he heard,"Seriously? I hate the stairs!". Zane soon looked up to see three demons heading toward him.

Zane deactivated Thermal Form and turning into Turbo Form. He fired green energy beams from his eyes at two of the demons, destroying them. The final one charged at Zane with Zane dodged it and he swiped down on the demon with his tail. The last demon was destroyed upon contact with the ground. Zane flew through another door with him turning to his left. He saw an elevator and his enemies standing there.

Zane crossed his arms as he said,"Wow. So while me and the demons had to take the stairs, you guys got to take the elevator! I'm sensing a bias here! Turbo!". Zane flew off as the villains chased after him and hot on his trails. "Hey sparky! Bet you can't hit me with your electricity since you're a cut rate and totally ugly Voltaire!" said Zane. "Screw you! I'll show you that I'm better than her!" said Topaz, firing streams of electricity at Zane.

Zane fired a beam of energy toward Mystic and sent the robot right into the electricity. It exploded as Zane said,"And another's gone! Not doing too good!". Zane flew into the gas chamber with him getting out of the villains's sight. "Where did he go? You can smell him right?" said Pierce. Before Homer could answer him, Pierce was blasted in the back by an energy beam. "And now, I'm gone so see you later guys! Turbo!" said Zane.

The hero flew off with him leaving the gas chamber and deactivated the form. He locked the heavy door behind him and sealed the door extra tight using his fire. "And now, it's time for you to take a nap." said Zane, leaning against the door in Dinosaur Form. "Is he kidding? No door can't stop me for too long!" said Rampage. "Sorry there but the Prime wanted to make sure about this so he left me behind to stop you all from leaving." said a voice.

The villains looked up to see Zone standing there. "Zero?! How did you?!" said Pierce. "It's a clone! I get him!" said Reactor. He fired a giant beam of radiation at Zone who blocked it by a burst of ice. "I think you need a nap Reactor. Someone is getting cranky." said Zone. He activated the sleeping gas with it knocking out all of the villains as the clone disappeared. Meanwhile, Alyssa was sitting in her van with Caspian.

Alyssa was quiet as Caspian said,"So are we going to talk about what happened in there?". "Yeah! He sacrificed himself to save us." said Kelly. "Yeah. I guess they were right about him being a true hero despite his terrible jokes." said Alyssa. "Are they really that bad?" said Caspian. "Yes. So are you ready to go?" said Kelly. "Yes." said Caspian. The spy soon began driving off with Kelly switching her clothing into her guard uniform and Caspian hid under a blanket.

Above them, Hellion Baron growled. "Curses! Even with the numbers advantage, Zero still lives to fight another day! Our fight is ready to begin!" said Hellion. He flew down toward the prison with Zane ,out of Dinosaur Form, crawling out of a air vent. "Okay. I'm going to try my best not to break out of another prison any time soon. Crisis Judgement is going off like crazy and now, it's quiet so thank the...." said Zane.

He soon jumped back to avoid an explosive fireball frenzy. Zane was dodging them left to right and was caught in the crossfire of a couple of them. Zane soon flew up the wall and kept dodging the fireballs. "So mind telling me why all of my enemies love fireballs?!" said Zane. He stopped on the edge of the rooftop and was about to be blasted by another fireball from Hellion. The devil was then punched by Caspian and kicked by Alyssa back in her spy uniform.

Hellion recovered as he was about to throw some fireballs at them but was stopped by a barrage of Zenith Sphere. Hellion Baron flew off as he laughed away. "And now, it's official. Hellion Baron is back. Thanks for your help you two. I thought you left by the way." said Zane. "Yeah. Caspian here has something called pride and couldn't let you die by the hands of the devil." said Alyssa. "She's right but I can tell that she cares about you." said Caspian.

Alyssa crossed her arms as she said,"You know that I could easily leave you here right?". "Yes but you won't. Zero if you find yourself in Atlantis. I wish to have a drink with you." said Caspian with him holding out his hand. Zane shook it as he said,"Sure thing Caspian. So I'll see you around or what Alyssa?". "Maybe. Just keep being a hero okay? We need that." said Alyssa. "Gotcha." said Zane as he watched the two leave the prison and Zane sat there.

Back in the control room, one of the guard turned to the warden and he said,"We regained control of the prison.". "Zero is quite capable. Able to beat the Center and took out every criminal we had in there." said George. "He had help though!" said Adrian and Curtis. "So? I'm sure that if he was alone in the prison, Zero would have figured it out easily." said George, impressed by Zane more and more by the day. 

Zane ,in his sleep wear, was currently sitting in his living room with Wolfram sitting in his lap and enjoying his master's warmth. "So are you okay Zane?" said a voice. Zane turned to see Twilight and he said,"I'm fine. What about you?". "Despite meeting another Vordlarin who was created by your human scientist, I think it was a good night. Are you still mad at "missing" the play?" said Twilight as Zane shrugged. "Not really. Not a big fan of the play they were doing." said Zane.

Wolfram barked as Zane said,"No. I like the ones with the dwarves Wolfram. The romance in that story is fine but not great. I hate Romeo and Juliet. Their romance is so annoying and gives us teens a bad name.". "That's fair. So what are you going to do about Hellion?" said Twilight. "Take him down because I still owe him a beat down after he kidnapped my family. Disappeared before I could get my hands on him." said Zane, clenching his fists.

Twilight slowly nodded as she said,"You're not going to kill him are you?". Wolfram barked loudly as the alien sighed. "I know that he wouldn't Wolfram but you and I both know how he gets when he's mad." said Twilight. "I won't. I rather see his plan crash and burn. So do you guys trust Adrian? He seemed slimy to me." said Zane. "Maybe. Just remember the last warden you met." said Twilight. Zane nodded as he knew things were only going to get worst.

Zero Episode 125.5


A/N: This post is part of Episode 125. Think Zero Episode 103.5 except it isn't notes this time around. This scene takes place right after Zane left the Amphitheater. If you were thinking that the episode was lacking a lot of moments of romance, this post will be what you're looking for. I hope you enjoy this episode and Episode 126 will hopefully come out before the end of the month but no promises. Do note that this scene isn't for younger audience. It won't be anything rated R or anything but you have been warned. I should also mentioned that I use either 2 or two. It's the same as Crisis Judgement or Crisis Judgment.

Narrator P.O.V.
There was a tense atmosphere that filled the darkened room. The doors were locked and no one could get in or out until the event is over. There was a container that was in the middle of the floor and there were eight wooden sticks poking out of the container. The sticks had a number plastered on them being 0 to 8 with one of them having a very secretive crown. Zane Alvarez aka Legion Zero had one thought running through his mind at this moment. "How did this happen again?" thought Zane.

About ten minutes earlier, Zane had just finished fighting against Andrew, George, Reactor, their main lackies, and the return of the Hellion Baron with the assistance of the other two members of his team and Kurt. He had just entered the elevator that was inside of Zenith Tower that would lead to the residential floor. He deactivated his Zeta Costume, being in his formal wear. The teen hero sighed and leaned against the metal bar inside of the elevator.

Zane soon heard,"So are you alright? You're not tired since you only need to sleep for a hour to be fine for a long time.". Twilight protruded from Zane's chest as she looked worried. "I'm fine. I'm just wishing that I got to spend time with Karen, Rachel, and Rain rather than Andrew, George, Hellion Baron, and Reactor. I mean I like girls mainly and some guys but those four villains. Totally not my type whatsoever." said Zane.

Twilight nodded as she said,"It sucks but at least they understand you.". "Yeah but I promised myself to be the boyfriend not the hero tonight and I kinda failed." said Zane. "So I have to ask. Why didn't Kristen, Nova, Roxy, and Sierra come to dinner tonight?" said Twilight. "Kris is visiting her family down in Whiskey Springs, Nova and Roxy are stuck with Roxy's family, and Sierra is studying for her hero exam. It's apparently really tough and difficult according to Harry." said Zane.

The elevator stopped as Zane said,"Well, I guess it's time to face the music.". "Need me to defend your honor?" said Twilight. "Nope. It was nice working with just you Twilight. I mean I love the team but..." said Zane. A tendril stopped Zane from talking as Twilight said,"I get your point. We can make something like this work but just stop talking.". Zane threw up a thumbs up as Twilight left Zane's body and went into her room.

Zane walked into the living room and his foot connected against something. He looked down and he picked up a bottle. The bottle itself had a long, rather thin neck and the bottom of it was shaped like a heart. It had a couple of drops of pink liquid. "Huh. What's this? I'm pretty sure that I didn't buy this before hand." said Zane. He was about to examine it further but then he heard,"Zane. Is that you? I need to see you.". Zane blinked as he said,"Okay. Be there soon.".

He then put the bottle down and head toward his room. "Either someone broke into my house which should be impossible since I made my security system impossible to break in or it's someone I know and trust. I'm hoping the latter but knowing my luck, it's probably the former." thought Zane as he made Stormbreaker appear. He then opened the door and entered the room. Upon seeing what was in the room, he dropped his staff and was frozen in place.

His face was bright red which was a clear sign of him being embarrassed and small beads of sweat was forming on his face. His Essence was beating, a million fold. In front of him, all seven of his girlfriends sat there in a circle with a container containing eight sticks inside of them. This wouldn't make the hero go into this state but the girl's outfits were. They were the same outfits that they were wearing in Zero Episode 122.

Before Zane could do or say anything, Kristen grabbed Zane and placed him down next to her. "I'm so happy you could join us Zaney." said Kristen, wrapping his arms in her chest. Zane blushed as he looked into her eyes. Instead of her brown eyes, they were bright pink and her pupils clearly in the shape of hearts. "So what are you doing here Kris? While I may not be against you all being here, I don't want to ruin Luis's time with his favorite cousin." said Zane.

Rachel smiled as she said with her eyes looking just like Kristen,"We decided to come and visit our boyfriend so we can play the Kings game!". "Really? That's why you're all here?" said Zane, noticing that all seven girls eyes matched. "Do you not want us here Zaney?" said Karen, with her pulling out the puppy dog eyes. "I do Karen but I don't want you to miss out time with family in the case of Kris or your career in the case of Sierra." said Zane.

Roxy tilted her head as she said,"What about me and Nova Zaney?". "Pretty sure sugah doesn't like your dad and vise versa." said Nova. Zane nodded as Sierra said,"So what's the king game?". "It's a game of luck Sierra. Everyone draws a stick from the pot, and whoever gets the stick with the crown is the king or queen for the round. Whoever is the king/queen gets to order anyone depending on the number to do one thing." said Rachel.

Sierra smiled as she said,"Anything?! This sounds like fun right Zane?!". "It sure does I think." said Zane, hoping that this doesn't get too crazy. He asked his parents to keep an eye on the kids and his puppy since the latter loves to play with people no matter what time it is. Wolfram did know when to leave people alone when they need to be alone. He watched the girls get ready for the game with the group saying,"Who's the king today?!".

They all drew at the same with the wooden sticks scattered into everyone's hands but there was only one ruler. "Yes! I'm the king!" cheered Rachel, looking over toward Zane being that she payed close attention to Zane's number the second he drew. "This is the king's order! Number 7 is ordered to kiss the king!" said Rachel, looking over at Zane with him noticing that she was looking at him like he was a piece of meat or a really good deal.     

Zane looked down at his stick and looked back at Rachel. "Well girls, you heard the queen. I may be against following the rules but this time, I'll make an exception." said Zane as he went right over to her until he was right next to her. Rachel blushed as Zane's face drew closer to her and her mouth made room for Zane's. The other girls fidgeted in their seats, closely watching their hero as he followed his king's orders without question. The two got more passionate with their kiss.

It was eventually stopped by Karen and Kristen who forcefully split the two apart being that both of them knew that those two would have gone farther with it. "Let someone else have a turn with him Rachel! You don't get to hog him!" said Karen. "We weren't going to go that far. I mean our record is about ten minutes." grumbled Zane. The round reset as Karen was ready to win this. "Who's the king today?!" said the group.

After drawing her stick, Karen had the biggest smile plastered on her face upon seeing the red crown that was drawn on her stick. Her smile instantly became crafty as her mind was think of bold and cheeky commands. "I'm the king!" said Karen, showing off her crowned stick proudly. "This will be interesting I think." said Sierra. "Number 7 is ordered to massage the king's breasts!" said Karen with her cheeks bright red.

This is the point where things get a little big frisky and not for little kids. "Wow. I really didn't see that coming from Karen. Rae and Roxy is another story though." said Zane, saying that part very quiet to himself. Nova smiled as she said,"Well sugah, I hope you enjoy it.". Karen heard this as reality hit her hard and fast. "I'll be honored to follow your orders your majesty." said Nova, suddenly groping Karen from behind.   

Karen was confused at how she got Nova and not Zane. "Nova? But why?" said Karen. "I'm sorry to tell you this Karen but the possibility of getting the same number is pretty much impossible even with my luck. I actually got number 2." said Zane. "No way!" said Karen. Her face got more red as Nova went on her quiet but enjoyable massage. "You can stop Nova." said Karen. "The bare minimum for an order is about three minutes." said Nova, continuing on with her massage. 

Karen's eyes widened as she said,"Three minutes?". She was mad that this massage wasn't done by Zane who was watching this. "So have your boobs gotten bigger? I feel like they have since the last time I've touched them." said Nova, getting frisky. "Please stop Nova." said Karen. "Don't worry. I'll be gentle. Just relax and enjoy it." whispered Nova into her ears as her hands slipped down her top. "No Nova!" said Karen as the massage took a turn for the worse.

During this whole thing, Zane's nose was starting to bleed. "Wow. Even when you're having a nose bleed, it's still candy syrup." said Sierra. Roxy crawled over to him and licked it. "And it's still very sweet Zaney." said Roxy, smiling and his face was bright red. "Thanks I think." muttered Zane. After regaining her composure, the next round began. "Who's the king today?!" said the group. Roxy smiled as she said,"I'm the king so.......".

She looked deeply into Zane's eyes and how they were reflecting a image in them. "The king orders number 4 to offer their lap as a pillow, feeding her snacks while topless!" said Roxy. Zane didn't need to look down to see that his number had been picked. He didn't want to fight his fate so he removed his black ,pinstripe, waistcoat, white silk dress shirt, and red tie. He made his lap comfy for Roxy who instantly went there.

Rachel crossed her arms as she said,"Can't believe she used her powers to manipulate the game in your favor!". Roxy smiled as Zane was feeding her grapes. "Well Rae. At least, the view got better now." said Nova, pointing to Zane's on display muscles. "You're right but his clothes usually show his hard work off." said Rachel, enjoying Roxy's scheme for right now. "Who's the king today?!" said the group. "Looks like it's me again!" said Roxy, still using her powers to her advantage.

Roxy fixed her sight on Zane once again, analyzing the reflection in his eyes. The number 1 appeared clearly in the eyes. "The king orders number 1 to kiss the king." said Roxy, with her certainly closing her eyes. Sierra could hear the sound of shuffling toward her direction and smiled when she felt her lips touch something soft. Something was different though since she didn't taste Zane's signature sweet taste to his kiss..

Roxy opened her eyes with her letting out a screech of shock as she looked into the brown eyes of Sierra. "Aw. You're blushing. So cute Roxy." said Sierra after finishing her kiss with Roxy. "But your eyes said the number 1!" said a flustered Roxy. "You're so naïve but cute Roxy. Your powers can only a couple of times on me before I eventually figure out how to counter it. I used my powers to bend reality to make you think I got number 1." said Zane.

To prove his point, his right arm was covered in the right Legionnaire Gauntlet. After getting through an awkward situation, the next round out of many rounds began. "Who's the king today?!" said the group. "Oh it looks like I'm the king this time." said Kristen, sadistically smiling and staring at the group around her. "I hope she doesn't demand a strange order." thought Rachel. "The king orders number 2 to spank number 5 for five minutes!" said Kristen with rosy red cheeks.

All six girls ,except Kris, stared at Zane who sighed. "Sorry there ladies. I got neither two or five but the number three. Fate's weird isn't it?" said Zane. The girls gazed with a focused stare as they searched for the number two or five. "I got 2." said Rain, holding her hand. "And I got five. So do you mind switching with her Zane?" said Rachel, causing Zane to chuckle. "Sorry but I don't want to go against the king's orders." said Zane.

Zane smiled as he said,"Beside, we're just have fun. Imagine what we're going to do once I get more free time and well, I think it's good to start building connections between you gals.". This spanking went on as Zane learned something about his devil best friend. She was very much into pain from those she really like not random strangers despite denying it which he knew about it during their training since he's a sadist. "Who's the king today?!" said the group as they drew a stick.

Karen smiled as she said,"Looks like it's my turn. The king orders number 3 to give her a kiss!". She was hoping that this wasn't going to go bad for her like it did for Roxy earlier and the gods decided to be nice. Zane kissed her with him saying,"Your wish is my command your majesty. I hope I get to issue some commands eventually but well, lets see.". "Who's the king today?!" said the group. "And it's my turn finally!" said Zane, smiling brightly.

A mixture of jealously and excitement filled the room as each female eagerly awaited for their lucky number to be called out by their hero. Zane used his powers for a second and he said,"Okay. Since I saw some girl on girl action, lets keep that train going. Would number 5 and number 6 give a big smooch to each other and not holding back if you please?". Karen and Rachel's face lighting up as they said,"Seriously?!". "Yep. It's my orders and you don't want to disobey them." said Zane.

The two girls eventually kissed each other as Zane thought,"Don't know if this bottle I found outside had something to do with this game but hell, I don't think anyone is going to complain too much after tonight.". The game was going smoothly but Zane knew about this game from his parents since they played it back in college and it usually got out of hand fast. The next round had Nova as the king and ordered Roxy into a nurse uniform and check on Zane with a kiss. 

Neither the patient or nurse disagreed with this order. The next king was Rain who ordered Rachel to tell an embarrassing secret about herself. "Back in my old room before I moved here! I had a body pillow of Zane made and this was before I knew that I wanted to be with Zane!" said Rachel, with covering her face. "Huh. I guess that would be weird but honestly, I could see my image on one of those." said Zane, thinking about it.   

Her eyes glared at Rain who was the devil's next target but well, Sierra was the victim this time around. "The king orders number 1 to dress like the cow she is!" said Rachel, forcing Sierra into a black and white bikini with a bell tied around her neck. "Okay. I'm really enjoying this." thought Zane. He watched the once friendly kings game become an all-out war between the girls with Zane not even trying to stop this.

He remember both Nate and Shawn teaching him not to mess with women when it comes to winning and Zane was going to take that advice to heart. Whoever grabbed the king stick, her demand was usually pretty crazy. After a while, they just stopped using numbers. This was after round twenty by the way. Sierra shook her head as she said with a frown,"Wait. I thought our goal here was Zane not each other.". "Yeah. I wonder if a certain someone manipulated us to go against each other." said Rain.

The girls looked at Zane who whistled. "Sometimes Zane." said the girls in unison. "Of course you girls caught me. I'm like Loki, the god of tricks except not wearing a weird helmet. That's a different version of him since I really don't have good helmet hair." said Zane. The game was back on and well, things can only get worse. Lets find out how it can get worse. The game was now in a dire and serious stare with Zane's eyes having a flicker of crimson red cosmic energy. 

Rachel said,"Ready, set go!". All arms reached for the jar being that the girls were all too fast for their own good. The sticks went flying into the air with all seven girls reached for the airborne objects, the king mark in their sights. It then vanished from their sight due to all seven girls crashing into each with sticks 1-7 on the floor but the king stick wasn't there. At the exact same time, the girls all looked at Zane with him holding the king stick in his fist.

Zane stood there with his power radiating from his body and he smiled. "You best listen to this king's orders despite him not liking to issue orders. Not my way of doing things. You've been teasing me all night and well, my Akostar blood is demanding satisfaction if you catch my drift." said Zane. The girls looked nervous yet excited as they dragged Zane onto the bed and he smiled. "Yep. This was a good Valentine Day." thought Zane.

The next morning, Zane was sitting in his kitchen and was sipping some coffee. He was examining the bottle that he saw last night. "Interesting. It's from Terrarune. I didn't noticed it last night but it does have a faint trace of Nether and also Ardor. So what do you think Athena?" said Zane. "It could be from your brother in law since it isn't Rae's Ardor." said Athena. "True. I'll tell Rae about this once she and the others wake up. Don't want to bother them." said Zane.

Twilight protruded from his shoulder as she said,"Yeah. You really went all out on them. Thank the gods for the sound proof walls.". "Yeah. I blame my Akostar DNA but they were really tempting my lust. Sorry if I bothered you." said Zane with a chuckle. "It's fine. I'll have to get used to it since you'll be married one day and with kids one day. So where are you going? I thought you were going to be sleeping in." said Twilight.

Zane nodded as he said,"I was going to but I have two people to talk to. You've seen my report.". "We have and I'm sure you'll make the right decision." said Athena. "Thanks. So how was seeing your old man?" said Zane. "Fine. We're making some big plans for the future and hopefully, you'll be ready for them." said Athena. Zane nodded as he turned into Legion Zero and went flying off toward the Cypress Park Police Department aka near the end of Episode 125. 

Results of the King Game which will return maybe:
Karen (King: 2 and Victim: 2), Kristen (King: 3 and Victim: 2), Nova (King: 3 and Victim: 2), Rachel (King: 3 and Victim: 4), Rain (King: 3 and Victim: 2), Roxy (King: 2 and Victim: 2), Sierra (King: 2 and Victim: 3), and Zane (King: 2 and Victim: 3).

Zero Episode 125 Clash for Cypress Park


A/N: This episode went through a massive redesign being that it was going to be Zane going on not one by five dates. I did mention this before Zane does have some serious plans for Valentine Day even through in real life, it's August. I'm missing the mark on the holiday episode but to be fair, I did this before with Christmas and New Years. Even if we go back farther, I did a Halloween episode in April. This isn't new for me and probably won't be stopping anytime soon.

The episode was going to be like Apu's plans for Manjura in the classic Simpsons episode I'm with Cupid except it's done within two to three days rather than a whole week of love. This changed for a multitude reasons being the main one is that I just wanted to show off the main conflict Zane is up against. It's the three way or would it be four way fight for control of Cypress Park. I say either three or four for reasons which you'll find out now.

The people who are fighting in this conflict are Andrew Collins aka Gold Commander, George Richard aka Mastermind, Reactor, and Zane Alvarez aka Legion Zero. One of these combatants are not like the other being that we don't know Reactor's real name. Reactor is his super villain name but what is his real name? We'll find out in this episode. We may know his last name since Connie ,aka Storm, is her father.

She could be adopted or perhaps, Reactor's last name is Dawson. Anyway, Zane is the odd one out in this conflict. Do note that Zane isn't taking over Cypress Park like the other three men in this conflict being that he's protecting Cypress Park from the three. That's why I say it's either three or four since four people are fighting with their allies. Andrew has his criminal syndicate/super villain team also known as the Outcast Syndicate and George Richard has the Battalion.

Zane's allies are pretty obvious so who are Reactor's allies? We have Connie and her group but will they have more allies? We'll just have to wait and see. Let's talk about Zane for a bit since I can and will. Zane is a father of three kids, a brother, a son, a boyfriend, a friend, a hero, and a business owner so he doesn't have a lot of free time to begin with. Zenith Industries has other scientists working there being that we've meet a couple of them already and heard about one of them.

He's been called eccentric by Lucifer and was about to burn something using water. Do note that I'm not a scientist but to me, that sounds highly improbable. It's like burning cereal but when there is a will, there is a way. My point here is that Zane will be trying his best to make sure that Valentine Day is going to be a success despite the looming threat of Andrew, George, and Reactor fighting for the control of Cypress Park.

Like I've mentioned before, Zane has a tendency to overwhelm himself being that's one of his weakness so lets see what happens to him. Before we begin our story, I have two things to talk about. One of them is about Apu and the other one is Phase 4 of the MCU. It won't contain any spoilers hopefully. These are just my initially thoughts about it before we see more information about it and my opinion will change on this matter. Lets begin with Apu and his possible leaving of the Simpsons.

I knew about this totally outrageous controversy thanks to a video by Hotdiggedydemon. I'll be putting a link to the video ,The Apu that I know, and despite the parts that are definitely not safe for work, it's a great video and shows a massive problem in our society right now. We're too PC and can't take a joke anymore if it involve race or sex. I mean comics have this problem being that just look for it online and I mean it.

I love comics but honestly, I'm not update to on most of it. Most things really don't catch my idea and also it's too political now. I'm not the biggest thing of politics because over time, I just stop caring about anything to do with politics. I'm not the biggest fun of Donald Trump and not because of what he is doing as a president but of all of the jokes about him. I think I hear a Donald Trump joke almost every day and honestly, the joke has ran it course. He's not great we get it.

I don't see him getting re-elected if the next Democratic candidate is better than him which may or may not be too hard to be possible. I'll also say that most comics now a today are tying to be too political correct by having characters who fit a certain group rather than being a character who can stand on their own as one. Diversity can work really well I fully believe this. However, you shouldn't just try to make a character appeal to minorities while insulting the target demographic of your media.

I'm not a fan of most if not all of the "new" and diverse set of Heroes from Marvel mainly because of lack of interest and others. I just don't care about them. I did go on a rant about making Iceman gary due to it being just something to be progressive. Why him? You could have made Angel or Beast gay with the latter being the most interesting to me. I would argue that Beast is the most famous member of the original five X-Men.

He's been on more teams that just the X-Men or other mutant related teams. I could be wrong about that but Beast has always been the X-Men to leave the group and help out other heroes. The mutants tend to focus in their own affairs most of the time. If something or someone from modern comics, I'll talk about it in great detail. Back to Apu because I tend to lose focus really it. Apu has been seen as a racist caricature before this controversy.

I'm not mincing words on that but here's the thing that may shock you. Most characters of the Simpsons are caricatures of stereotypes. I mean have you seen Luigi Risotto, a very clear stereotype for Italians or the Rich Texan aka a very clear stereotype for Republicans and fat cats. Could be wrong about that but that's what I see when I see this character. Also did you know that the Rich Texan's name is Richard "Rich" Texan according to the Simpsons Wiki.

I'm a Simpsons fan but honestly, I didn't know that and I find it fascinating to say the least. They're clearly racist caricatures but no one seems to care about them as much as Apu. Is it because they are white? Or is yellow? I don't hate Hari Kondabolu ,hopefully spelled that name right and if I did, I don't meant to offend, at all so I just wanted to say this before I get started with this rant. It's a safety net if you will.

I can see how people in the Indian American and also the South Asian diaspora ,here is the definition of that word if you don't know what I mean, community could be affected by Apu. To switch topics for a bit, you should check out Milo Murphy's Law. If you like Phineas and Ferb, you'll like Milo Murphy. Anyway. I honestly think that Apu should stay on the show and be voiced by Hank Azaria for a very simple reason. Apu is a FICTIONAL cartoon character.

He isn't real. Cartoons aren't real and mean to be silly. I mean do we take the antics of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck as serious stories? Tom and Jerry? The animated version of Romeo and Juliet where they're gnomes? No. We don't. There are serious cartoons out there but most of the time, people see cartoons as a medium not to be taken as a serious form of media. That's just my perspective on the matter. That's a different problem and topic for a different time mind you.

I don't think Kondabolu's film is a bad thing or should be ignored. It should be a thing that we need to talk about. People bully other people because of them sharing the same name as a cartoon or being the same race as a cartoon. That's stereotyping and honestly, it's kinda sad. If they get rid of Apu because of political correctness or some SJW crap, I'll be just disappointed with how political correctness can change the things we love for the worse.

I'm sure that I'm not alone to say this. The Simpsons have been a part of our life and shouldn't be judged for being insensitive since the show was created in the 1980 not today. I actually stopped watching South Park because of PC principal. He's easily a great representation of that culture which I hate more than anything. I mentioned this before in my opinion on Iceman being gay. It could have worked but they're trying to make things diverse and talked about.

It isn't about making lasting stories. Characters shouldn't be judged by what their race or sex is but their actions. I think I should end this before I offend someone while is really easy to do now a days. I mean am I right Marvel fans? Female Thor is coming to the MCU and this will bring the way of SJW MCU according to comicsgate. Be prepared. I honestly don't mean that since honestly, I can see Female Thor working if done the right way.

I recently watch Comicstorian's video on Jane Foster being Thor and it was pretty good. I like where she hit Odin in the face with the hammer. It's the simple things for me. I think a huge problem that MCU Jane Foster will face is how she'll get a hammer in the first place. I'm sure that you can't really buy Asguardian weapons on Marvel's version of Amazon. I mean it could be that in the comics but I like to think that the government wouldn't allow it but can't stop it.

In the context of the MCU, I think it's the Dwarves who created Mijolnir or as Darcy Lewis calls it Mew-Mew/Myeu-Muh. I honestly love that joke because it just makes me laugh whenever I hear it and totally what I call it. My opinion on Female Thor ,in the MCU, needs only one thing to make it work for me. Give her a character and personality outside of the hammer since Jane didn't really have that in my opinion. Do that and you got a good character in my eyes.

My other thoughts on the MCU's Phase Four can be summed up into a couple of words. Meh, looks interesting but not my cup of tea and I may check it out since I'm a MCU fanboy. I do like a lot of elements of it being that Black Widow finally getting her own movie. It makes total sense to me and I honestly think it should have happen in Phase Three. I think Black Widow should have been the first female lead Marvel movie.

I really hate how a character who had a brief cameo at the end of Infinity War got a movie before the female who has been in the MCU since Iron Man 2. I don't like Captain Marvel for a number of reasons being that one of them is the fact that her movie is before Black Widow. People say that you should watch the movie to enjoy Endgame but spoiler alert to Captain Marvel, it's post credit scenes is the only thing connected to Endgame.

I saw Endgame and I can say this. You don't need to watch Captain Marvel to enjoy Endgame so if you want to skip it, you can. If we had Captain Marvel after Endgame, we could see if people would want a movie about the "strongest" hero in the MCU. I honestly hate that statement since I read comics and also I watched Death Battle. Hulk and Thor have done feats over the years that pretty much outshines Captain Marvel in several ways.

Is it because Captain Marvel is a woman? I really hope that isn't the reason since Endgame proved that theory dead wrong. Not saying anything about that movie but man, I enjoyed a certain moment in the movie. You may have noticed that I wrote that I watched Death Battle. Ever since that death battle which shall remain nameless, I just stopped watching it. I have no idea why I'm ignoring the series. Is it because I'm still salty about that death battle? I honestly think that's it and I shouldn't do this.

My point is that Captain Marvel shouldn't be the new star of the MCU because to those who knows about the comics alongside the landscape of diversity and political correct correctness, she's currently bringing trouble in her wake. I do like how Blade coming back is something I didn't see coming. He has been popular lately since he's an Avenger in the comics I think but making a movie about him is something to get people talking. Lets's talk about Doctor Strange's second movie.

I just really like that title and also the title design of the next Thor movie. I know that people are up in arms about Jane Foster being Thor but that title gives me some major He-Man/Thundercats vibes. I also like the idea of the What Ifs Disney Plus show because I love me a good what if or alternative universe story. Loki's show title isn't exactly the best though because it's written in four different types of fonts and hopefully gets a re design. I mean just pick a font and stick with it!

Sorry. I like things to be one font so I know what's going on. I think the Loki show will be good and maybe that can be a good way to show how Jane Foster becomes Thor in a way for people to get invested in the character in a natural way. Jane Foster ,at least in the MCU, has a long way to go before becoming a fan favorite character and trying to be the new Thor after Chris Hemsworth's performance. You have big shoes to fill.

That can be said for Phase 4 of the MCU as a whole in my opinion. I should explain how Zane's vambraces, Legionnaire Gauntlets, and Hyperion Mail. They are all connected and anything Zane can do with the vambraces, he can do it with either the Hyperion Mail or Legionnaire Gauntlets. I'm making this point. Anyway, enjoy a longer than normal episode and a whole lot of kissing since it's Valentine Day/Single Awareness Day.

I usually don't do this but why now. In the next couple of Author Notes, we'll be talking about Steven Universe since I binged the show in preparation for the movie, SJWs wants Spiderman to be gay, and why making a character gay just because can be a bad thing. Yeah. I'm not going to give you any context on any of that whatsoever. I have a lot to talk about being that it'll be an interesting Author Note. It won't be too long I hope because Fairy Legion's posts are usually longer because of my rants.

Zane P.O.V.
Fate is very confusing force within the Omniverse. I honestly thought that Valentine Day was going to a day off for me. Spend time with some of the women who loves me faults and fall but nope, there just had to be a war between three men ,more like children if you ask me, for control of Cypress Park through violence. Since I'm Cypress Park's protector and I'm sworn to protect it from anything that could hurt the people of the city, I'm caught in the middle of it.

I really just wanted the night off but I can't just ignore my other life as Legion Zero, protector of the innocent so easily. Being a hero requires me to make sacrifices and sometimes, I really want to ignore the cry for help to just spend time as Zane but I can't. I don't want anyone to go what I went through by losing people that were close to me. Sure. I got them back but most people never do and have to move on for better or worse. Anyway, lets begin a story of love and loss mainly the latter in my case.

Narrator P.O.V.
The sun was shining down on Cypress Park as its inhabitants went about their daily lives. Today was slightly different given that it was Valentine Day. Love with in the air with couples ,both young and old, celebrate and the people who were single were bonding with each other or not so subtlety glaring at the couples, wishing death upon them. Inside of Admiration Blossoms, there was a robbery which was to be expected this time of year. Admiration Blossoms is a very popular florist.

It usually has business all year around. However, Valentine Day is when the store get a lot of money from customers who are looking for flowers for their special someone. Zane ,as Legion Zero while in Mirror Form, stood inside as he looked at the two thugs who tried to rob this place at the same. This would have worked if they were working for the same boss and also not having a superhero in the general area.

Zane loudly sighed as he said,"Seriously. This is our fifth time I've stopped a crime like this and I really wish I was kidding but nope. I've stopped criminals from robbing florists not once but five times now in today alone.". He looked at the thugs, who were both trapped inside of a mirror construct of a giant Venus flying trap. Both men were glaring at each other as Zane crossed his arms and looked rather annoyed. 

The mirror being looked at them as he said,"Look I know that this crime war is intense but really you guys. Couples really need this place and the florists to make sure that they don't get in trouble with their significant other, ending up in the doghouse which is usually pretty cramped but that depends on the type of dog the other has.". "Which is where you'll be for a long time if you mess up tonight Zane." said Cole.

He was hit by Azalea who said,"Don't worry Zane. I'm sure you'll be a good boyfriend for them tonight. Don't forget. Tonight is important to them as well.". "I still don't get why you can't see them until tonight at the restaurant. I mean it isn't bad luck to see your significant other before your date tonight. Is that a human superstition?" said Lucifer. "Nope. It's a new fad going on at Cypress High. It's stupid in my opinion but I don't want to invoke their fury." said Zane.

Lucifer nodded as he said,"Nice way of thinking. So I think those two are ready to reply to your comment. Took long enough.". "Shut up Zero. I don't care about this holiday at all." said the thug on the left. "Is it because you've never have a girlfriend or boyfriend before in your life? You have a total virgin vibe." said Zane, smirking. "No I'm not brat! This store is on the Commander's turf so I'm here to collect for him!" said the thug with a bright red face.

Zane rolled his eyes as he said,"Whatever ,am. You're still a kissing and handholding virgin aren't you pal?". The thug would have yelled at Zane but the other thug captured his attention. "He's dead wrong Zero! This place belonged to Reactor first and we're here to take it back for the true crime lord of Cypress Park not that bastard!" said the thug on the right. The two soon began arguing, ignoring the guy who captured them in the first place.

Twilight sighed loudly as she said,"Zane. Could you do me a favor? I know that I don't ask you a lot but would you?". Zane instantly nodded as the two arguing thugs were knocked out thanks to their prison sprouting two fists before going back into the prison. "Thank you." said Twilight. Zane then deactivated the form, staying in his costume. "I don't mind doing this for you Twilight since you're not like Cole who asks for a lot." said Zane.

Cole nodded as he said,"Hey! No I don't!". "Yes you do." said Athena, causing Cole to sulk. He heard the police heading to the shop as Zane said,"Have a nice day you two. I'm sure neither of you won't be lonely tonight if the cops decided to be nice.". "You know that they can't hear you right?" said Kane. "Yeah but it doesn't hurt to put a suggestion in their heads while they're out." said Zane. As the police arrived to the florist, Zane soon flew out of there, heading into the city.

This crime was number fifty in a similar pattern. Ever since Zane arrest four members of the powered up Tremendous, crime began to skyrocketed in Cypress Park. It was either small crimes like robbing a store in a turf which was either belonged to Andrew or Reactor at one point. There was sometimes a metahuman crime done by Mastermind's group but those were rather rare but whenever he did one, it involved technology.

Zane was pretty sure that George ,despite his Animus origins was using science for some strange reasons, was going to try building a weapon like he did during Christmas and New Years. The past couple of days for Zane were busy since he was either stopping crimes, trying to figure out George's master plan again, or running Zenith Industries. "Zane. I know that you're busy with everything going on but don't you need to make sure that the flowers are ready for tonight?" said Kane.

Cole said,"So why are you asking about that Kane? Is the fighter secretly a romantic?". He was soon hit by Kane who growled. "I think having a love for romance doesn't make you less of a warrior. After all, you care for Zane just like the rest of us and don't want any of his relationships to crash and burn." said Azalea. "Yeah. That. You've been growing specialized flowers for each of them in their personal garden inside of the tower." said Kane.

Kane stretched inside of Elysian as he said,"I know that you'll be going out with three of them since the rest are busy with other matters but I'm happy that you're going to be do something special for all of them after today.". "Zane is trying to be a good boyfriend to all of them but I have to ask you something. Why do you have a whole room of your tower dedicated to just gardening? It kinda makes no sense." said Sivarth.

Zane shrugged his shoulders as he said,"When I was redesigning the place, I decided to have one so I could have a fresh breakfast. It doesn't hurt to have a green thumb and to be prepared for anything that could happen. Since I'm immortal, I'm going to have a lot of hobbies and time on my hand so I decided to start now. You also didn't stop me for putting it in here when I was building this place so you don't have a right to complain.". "Fair." said Sivarth.

Zane stopped flying as he looked at a nearby flat screen. It plastered a giant heart shaped symbol with a arrow through it. Upon seeing the symbol, Zane felt something strange. This feeling was unknown to him but at the exact same time, very familiar. He had seen this symbol before since it's been used for Valentine Day for the past ten years. He's seen this symbol many times before but this time, it was very different.

Zane shook his head as he said,"Okay. That was weird. I mean I've seen the symbol before for some reason, I couldn't look away.". He soon looked to see that he wasn't in Cypress Park but somewhere completely different. He was slightly thankful that he wasn't in the barren wasteland of Savadran due to the lack of sand and Skull Plague's carnal. He floated down to the ground and noticing something interested about his surroundings.

The ground was currently covered in different sized craters and a couple of them had something inside of them. It was a strange glowing pool of liquid Impulse. He looked upwards being that the area's outer atmosphere being a toxic green color, he could see that he was in outer space. "Okay. If I remember my star charts right, I think I'm in the Gamma Anchor System. So do you think we could stop by Golax Prime MX Twilight?" said Zane.

He didn't get a response from the Vordlarin princess which was concerning since Twilight was quick to response to him. He wasn't in his Zenith costume but his normal casual outfit. "Okay. I'm all alone on a dead planet since beside myself, I can't sense any life." said Zane. He took a step forward and Crisis Judgement went off. Zane turned around to see an army heading toward him and he got ready to fight them. The army consisted of three different species.

Two of the three species had an equal amount of troops and there was a lone member of the final species with it being the strongest one of the bunch. Zane recognized the three species thanks to the Alliance database and Kane about the Omniverse War. These trio are the Atizagan, Kronsen, and Surrotan. All three worked with the Qlakrik during the war being that according to the Alliance database, they were wiped out during the Omniverse War by the Eazairvian.

Kane said that was wrong but they couldn't find any proof. The Omniverse War was several thousand years ago before the Omniverse began recording history and time so not much is known about the war except the destruction. Zane wasn't sure if he was back in time or they survived but he wasn't going to die. The Kronsen are giant ,about six to seven feet, and monstrous gorilla humanoids. They have muscular physiques with four arms and three black claws on each of its hands.

They have three eyes ,black sclera and blue pupils, with large black lips and a set of sharp crystal like teeth, which was protruding from their mouths. They have a pair of wings and four bactenophage like legs. According to Kane, they are known for their speed, strength, and fire power. They were quite destructive since they can breath powerful and huge fireballs. It can sprout powerful tendrils from its body that are powerful enough to cut the tops off mountains.

The Surrotan are giant ,easily six feet tall and wide, vultures like creatures. They are dark orange and blue with glowing purple eyes. They have two large normal wings with several tentacles hanging from the undersides. During the war, they were used as transport for the Qlakrik's side. Despite having no eyes, they are naturally blind and hunt their enemies by locking onto the Impulse in their bodies. It can use the tentacles as their limbs and fire blue energy blasts from its body

The Atizagan is a giant, emaciated humanoid being easily twenty feet tall. It's composed entirely of rough, crystal being a gold color. It has fairly long arms that ended in clawed, eight-fingered hands. It ribcage was clearly visible to Zane. It has two small, draconian heads with both heads being rather small compared to the rest of its body. Both heads has thick necks, a peculiar lower jaw with four very large, blunt teeth. Their eyes are barely visible but there was a noticeable green color.

Its legs are rather thin and durable at the same time. The Atizagan are known for its power being that a single one is capable of mass destruction and able to destroy a heavily populated city. Despite its rather thin body, it can withstand and persevere through a barrage of lethal strikes. It can strike down on a mountain and break it. It has multiple hearts but the Atizagan are known for a special power. It's called Barakah which is a gray energy.

This energy is destructive being that it can easily destroy anything that it comes in contact with it. It can fire destructive beams from their eyes which can be use to fatally wound their enemies. It can create powerful shockwaves with a single stomp or punch. It can breath its unique energy like its nothing at all. Kane says that the Atizagan's main weakness are its legs being that a powerful strike can knock it out and its blood is quite impressive.

Like Zane's blood, the Atizagan's blood has the ability to give immortality or a random superpower but a higher chance than Zane's blood. Their eyes were turn an eerie black and if the Atizagan's blood wasn't compatible with the consumer, the consumer could explode within seconds. "Okay. It's time to fight." said Zane, activating Omni Mode. He soon charged right toward the army with him saying,"I think I'll start with this.". Zane's body soon sprouted ten arms, similar to Sweet Bombardment.

These ten arms matched the appearance of Sweet Forge mixed together with one of his forms. The ten forms are Brawn Form, Cataclysmic Form, Diamond Form, Dinosaur Form, Drill Form, Gravity Form, Hulking Form, Liger Form, Titan Form, and Undergrowth Form. The ten fists went right toward the army, sending ten Kronsens flying off into the distance. The rest of the Kronsen looked at Zane as the teen said,"So what are you going to do about it?".

Zane turned intangible as several tendrils from the remaining Kronzen came right at him. "Oh wow. I guess I made you guys mad huh." said Zane. He soon made a giant wall of ice in front of him as it blocked a barrage of fire balls. The ice slowly melted, covered the area in smoke. The Kronzen was looking for Zane being that one of them spotted the hero and fired a fireball at him. However, the ball hit a Surrotan due to Zane grabbing it using his telekinesis.

The vulture like creature roared in pain, firing its energy beam at the Kronzen who hurt it. This soon started a in fight between the Kronzen and Surrotan with Zane standing there. "And here I thought that Kane was joking about the Kronzen and Surrotan hating each other. They only worked together under the mutual fear of the Qlakrik and since they're not here, I guess it's fair game." said Zane as he dodged a shockwave.

Zane turned to see the Atizagan glaring down on the Cross-Species. It fired three beams of Barakah right at Zane with the hero dodging two of them. "Let see if I can take this energy in since I can take Ardor no problem. I mean Barakah is pretty much Impulse right and I can do that. No pressure right? I mean if I don't, I'll die and that's so not happening. Just in case, lets make extra sure." said Zane, holding out his right arm.

He soon sprouted Fulmination Form's four antennas protrude from his arm, hanging out in front of him just as the energy was getting closer to him. "Void Absorption!" said Zane. Zane clenched his teeth as he was being pushed back by the energy and making divots in the ground. The four plugs touched the gray energy ,which reminded Zane of ice and lightning, and began absorbing it. It also had a white glow thanks to him using Predator State.

Zane nodded as he said,"Okay then. This Impulse is stronger than anything that I've absorbed before but I can do this!". The energy was soon gone being completely absorbed by Zane much to the giant's shock. No being has survived its Barakah before now since it's a powerful force of destruction. Zane looked up at the giant as his steel gray eyes glowed with power under his visor. "Okay. You had your turn and now, it's my turn!" said Zane.

His body was soon covered by an armor that looked like Diamond Prime and the giant crystal hand construct appeared in front of him. "Since you've been around since the Omniverse War, I'm sure you remember Mojo from the Vulcorian right?! Karmic Enlarged Limbo!" said Zane. The crystal hand soon fired out a giant black beam of Mojo at the Atizagan. The creature shivered in fear at the size of the beam, easily dwarfing it. It refused to die by this brat.

It fired Barakah from its mouth and hands to try and stop the giant beam. It did nothing to stop the giant beam, getting eradicated by the beam and the beam eradicated the rest of the army. It pierced right through the toxic green clouds that were above him and kept going, destroying several objects in its path. After the beam left his sight, Zane's crystal armor and giant arm alongside Omni Mode were gone as the teen went on his knees.

Zane smiled as he said,"Okay. That may have been a pain in the ass but I was able to destroy species that fought in the Omniverse War. I do feel bad about any planet that I destroyed in the process but I'll mourn later.". He soon lied down on the ground with him looking upwards at space through the hole that he made. "Okay. Let's recap. I'm somehow on this unknown planet which just so happened to be in the same star system as Twilight's home planet by myself." said Zane.

He clenched his fists as he said,"I also don't know how I got here or how I get back home but I need to get back home. I don't want to miss Valentine Day since I really don't want to be in the dog house with the girls. So what should I do now?". He looked at his watch as he said,"I wonder if Parker is tracking me and if he isn't, I'm thankful that we made maps of most parts of the Omniverse during our training huh Athena.".

The more mature A.I. was silent as Zane sighed. "So this is what it's like being all alone. Got to say. I don't like it but I won't force anyone on Team Legion Zero to stay inside of me so I'm probably awful company to be around mainly when I makes jokes." said Zane. As he made the holographic computer screens appeared, Zane sensed a figure approaching him and turned around to see the figure standing there with her showing interest in Zane. She clearly isn't human due to her golden skin.

It looked to be made out of metal but it was flesh from what Zane could tell. She stands at eight feet tall. Her skin has several silver stripes across her body with one running across the middle of her face. She has a slender, thin build with good amount of curves and muscles. It wasn't too curvy nor it wasn't too muscular. She has white hair that's in the shape of a flower with the bottom of it tied in a bun and noticeable navy blue eyes with diamond shaped pupils.

She's wearing a white top that's cropped in the middle to reveal her midriff with a gold trim and has silver, metal shoulder pads. She wears navy blue fingerless gloves. She wears a matching white skirt that goes to her knees and dark magenta thigh high boots. She's wearing a gold head band. The most noticeable thing to Zane was her lips. He didn't want to kiss them but they were clearly defined and she was smiling at him, looking gentle.

The woman didn't say anything to him at first as she sat down next to him. "So is she going to say anything to me or what?" thought Zane. "Isn't it pretty?" said the woman. "Um sure I guess. Wish the sky wasn't so green." said Zane. "Yes but that's the result of years of toxic dumping and well, the war changed this once beautiful planet into a battleground. I decided to leave my people to explore the Omniverse and learn what worked and what didn't for other species." said the woman.

She held out her five claw hand to Zane as she smiled. "It seems that I haven't yet introduced myself to you. My name is Janet, Queen of the Aphral." said Janet. Zane grabbed it and shook it. Despite his age, Janet could feel his strong grip. "Legion Zero but my name is Zane Vincent Alvarez. So do you know why I'm here exactly? I was on Earth and well, I have no idea why I'm here or where I am Janet." said Zane.

Janet shrugged as she said,"No idea. I'm sure you were brought here for a reasons. Perhaps it was us meeting on the ruins of the once beautiful Ithuna.". "Ithuna. So that's where I am." said Zane. "Yes. It once had a powerful star, giving the planet its beauty. However, this star eventually went supernova and this eradicating the planet completely. It was later used as one of the main battlegrounds of the Omniverse War." said Janet.

Zane nodded as he said,"So what were the name of the people that once lived on Ithuna?". "And why don't you look this up on your fancy watch?" said Janet. "You seem to know your history about this place and honestly, the Alliance has a tendency to over glorify the past. They claim the Eazairvian were the good guys in the Omniverse War but I've heard conflicting opinions from someone who was actually there and fought in said war." said Zane.

Janet smiled as she said,"Well okay then. They were known as Magnus and they were one of the first beings to use Impulse in many ways. Both the Eazairvians and Qlakriks wanted the assistance of the Magnus but they refused both sides of the conflict. I wonder if the Magnus still live on through their descendants or in another way?". "Who really knows? So is your planet in this star system?" said Zane. "We're travelers of the Omniverse and wanted to establish our presence on Earth." said Janet.

Zane looked at her as he said,"Um. I hate to the bearer of bad news Janet but humans aren't exactly friendly toward aliens. Hell, they aren't fans of people who don't fit the mood of a normal one. There are known two groups called Avalon and Swarm. Both of them are the twenty first century Nazis.". "I see. Well, I hope we can meet again Zane." said Janet. "And I would like that Janet." said Zane. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane looked down to see that his body was vanished in front of him.

Zane's eyes widened as he said,"Um. What's happened to me?!". "Don't worry." said Janet. "Don't worry?! Your body isn't vanishing in front of you! I kinda don't want to die since I promised a lot of people that I wouldn't!" said Zane, watching his right arm vanishing in front of him. "We'll meet again and I'm sure that you'll be a good help to us in our troubling time." said Janet, smiling. She was gone thanks to a blue portal and Zane vanished from the ruined planet.

Zane soon reappeared on a building rooftop back in Cypress Park and he puked his lunch. "Okay. I really hate how my stomach can't handle being teleported by something other than me." said Zane as he wiped away his puke. He looked down to see that he had vanished from Cypress Park for almost eight hours and about ninety minutes before his date tonight. Zane was also in his Zeta costume and he said,"So are you guys here with me or what?".

Twilight soon made herself come out of his chest as Zane jumped back. "Twilight!" said Zane, with him hugging the Vordlarin princess. "Um hi Zane. So are you really there? I mean you were acting weird even for you and your hug is actually hurting." said Twilight. Zane let her go as he said,"I'm here so where are the others?". "It's a long story. During your moments of weirdness, Parker came down to talk with the rest of the team." said Twilight.

Zane tilted his head as he said,"So they're on Saspra right?". "Yep. It's just the two of us for the rest of the night. Think we can handle anything that could happen to us on the most romantic holiday of the year?" said Twilight. "I'm game. I mean we can handle the ticking time bomb that is our city." said Zane, looking over the city. "I know that you think that Zane but mind telling me why again? I still don't get it." said Twilight. 

Zane smiled as he said,"It's very simple really partner. The trio of Andrew, George, and Reactor are fighting each other in order to make Cypress Park into their own personal criminal empire or other in words playground. In the process, they're causing trouble for innocent people of Cypress Park caught in the crossfire. I'm not stupid to forget about Lilith and Rocco plus Empress. The three are clearly up to something.". "I can understand Lilith since she's controlling Price Co with Derrick." said Twilight.

Zane nodded as Twilight said,"So the Phantoms controlling the Price Co's board of directors aren't your biggest fans right?". "Yep. Pretty something bad is going to happen tonight. I really don't want to ditch those three tonight of all nights since it's a dick move." said Zane. "I'm sure that the girls will completely understand if you need to leave during your date tonight. They understand how important your job as Legion Zero and CEO of Zenith Industries are to you." said Twilight.

The princess sprouted a tendril from Zane's back and touched Zane's head. "All of us know about your great ideas which will help change the Prime Dimension forever." said Twilight. "Yep. Really don't want to do but I have a responsibility to this city. I really wanted to be the boyfriend and nothing else tonight but well, fate has a weird way of working." said Zane. "I'm sure you have something to say so speak your mind Zane. I'm willing to listen." said Twilight.

Zane nodded as he put his hands behind his head and said,"Since becoming Zero, I've been focusing my full attention on keeping Cypress Park safe and as of late, work at my company. I'm not my grandma. I can't see that far into the future like she can and to be honest, I'm scared of what could happen to me tonight. Death could happen to me any day now. I always put myself in danger just to protect anyone who needs my help regardless of their allegiance.".

The teen clenched his fists as he said,"I can't hurt the girls who love me faults and all. I'll do my best to keep anyone I care about from becoming like me. I was angry at not being able to save the triad of my dad, Aunt Isabel, and Uncle Nate from Skull Plague despite it not being my fault. I'm sure you know how this really affected. It wasn't pretty and I've keep a lot of secrets from everyone. I want to be there for the girls tonight so I can make memories with them just in case something happens.".

He sighed as he said,"I don't want to leave but I can't ignore someone in danger right? Nope. That's not the hero way and honestly, I can't see myself doing something that would let someone get hurt by my enemies.". Twilight was quiet as Zane and her soon looked over to a nearby flat screen. It was showed a crime going on with the most smug reporter ,in Isabel's honest opinion, Curtis Goodwin was reporting the event.

He's known for his signature smug and his strong opinions on pretty much everything you can think of. He's known for his aggressive behavior toward other people include his fellow journalists. He's willing to take drastic measures in order to get the scoop on the news that he wants rather than the news he gets such as clearly editing footage to maintain the "truth" of said event. He makes his opinion heard to everyone regardless if they want to hear it in the first place.

Even if there is something proving his opinion wrong, he ignores those facts. He'll do anything to stay in the public eye. He will denouncing individuals such as Legion Zero while praising others such as Roland Gordon for example. He likes to think that he's always right and when considered wrong, he makes it seem that he meant to say that and was right all along. He also likes to form ridiculous theories.

The thing that he hates the most in Legion Zero being that the hero indirectly stole his thunder during his biggest event for his news show known as the Apex Mind. This was during Christmas of last year. He's in his late forties being 48 to be exact. He has dark blond hair with it graying on the sides and brown eyes. He has fair skin, black eyebrows, and a square shaped chin which has been called block like before by his critics and fans.

He's wearing a black suit with a navy blue dress shirt and a red necktie. Zane was kinda shocked that Curtis Goodwin was reporting actually news since the Apex Mind is more focused on people's private and worst moments and also bashed his superhero identity constantly. The man had blamed Zero for being the cause of the city despite it being clear to most people that crime has existed in Cypress Park since the early days of Reactor.

He kinda had a point since it was mainly crimes done by humans but now, metahumans were running amok in Cypress Park until he showed up. It was going to happen eventually but Zane was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The reporter began talking about four armed criminals ,with him claiming that they working for the Gold Commander but Zane wasn't too sure, who just robbed one of the cities's many banks.

They were being chased by the police department with Zane knowing exactly where they were at the moment and was heading toward. "Even though they're not working for Andrew, I have work to do and then get ready for tonight." said Zane, flying off into the direction and was in the zone. Twilight knew that Zane was back to his normal self and was thankful for that since she liked how he can be serious one minute and then acting like an idiot the next.

Meanwhile, the thug tetrad ,alliteration for the win!, were driving through Cypress Park. The strange thing about this group is that all of them were wearing masks, covering their face. The driver was wearing a brown/silver gargoyle mask, the person sitting shotgun was wearing a white thunderbird mask, the person sitting in the left passenger seat was wearing a red hellhound mask, and the person sitting in the right passenger seat was wearing a blue hippocampus mask.

These four men were given these masks by a strange man who offered them power if they completed a simple job for him being that they need to rob a bank and keep him busy. The four weren't sure if they could trust him but the opportunity of escaping the control of Gold Commander and possibly becoming the kingpins of Cypress Park was too tempted not to accept. Two of the car's windows came down with Hippocampus and Thunderbird aiming their stolen weapons at their pursers.

Their stolen weapons wasn't from Champion Tech but from their benefactor who had stolen them from Swarm. So instead of bullets, they were using Sibylline. It's basically Nether but it isn't at the same time. It's Impulse though. They aimed their persuader's tires, forcing a handful of them stopping in their tracks. Thunderbird smirked as he said while getting back into the car,"Heh. We're home free boys. Zero is too busy with those idiots serving Gold Commander and Reactor.".

After saying that, all four of them hearing a loud thump on top of the roof of the car. "What in the hell was that? It better not be him." said Gargoyle. "Dude! You're not supposed to say that shit!" said Hellhound. They soon got their answer as it was Cryptid Form, landing on the roof of the car and leaning his head down for the thugs to see him. The four knew Zane's forms decently since they all wore the black robe.

Zane smiled as he said,"While I may be busy with two of three crime boss in town, I always have time for the idiots who disturbs the peace of Cypress Park. Now stop the car or else, this will be really bad for you idiots!". "It's Zero! Why did it have to be that form?!" said Hellhound, shivering in place. He had a strong feat of cats since he pissed off Barbarian which was one of the worst days of his life and he's wearing a dog mask. Ain't that sad kinda.

Gargoyle said,"He can't stop us! Shoot him dead now!". Like before, Hippocampus and Thunderbird leaned out their respective windows and aimed their weapons at Zane. They were hoping to get rid of the pesky hero but just as they were about to fire, Zane soon fired two laser beams out of his mouth and aimed the beams at the weapons. They fell out of the thugs's hands, dropping to the street and breaking. "Sorry but this is going to hurt you more than it will me." said Zane.

The beast soon punched Thunderbird and smack Hippocampus behind him using his tail. The two were both stunned with Zane soon grabbing them. Hippocampus was held by his front legs and the mythological bird was held in the air by his tail. "Have a nice trip! See you next time you try to commit a crime in my city again!" said Zane. He soon threw the thugs away from the car, only to fire out some webbing from his mouth.

The thugs were caught by the webbing and then they were trapped in between two lampposts, trying to escape only to be surrounded by the police and they surrender. Zane turned toward the remaining occupants with a smile plastered on his face before webbing the windshield completely. "I can't see!" said Gargoyle, clearly losing control of the car. It soon began to serve back and forth, eventually tipping the car over.

The two masked foes closed their eyes as their car bounced ,doing a flip in the process, three times before stopping. They opened their eyes and they were shocked to see that they were sideways. They rolled down their windows and looked out shocked to see that they were hanging in the air by a larger than normal web between two buildings. Zane ,still in Cryptid Form, smiling at his handy work with him swapping out of the form and back to normal.

Zane crossed his arms as he said,"Okay. You guys made that too easy for me and I wish I was kidding but I'm not. So are you ready to surrender or do I have to bring out my big guns?" The two remaining men in the car had a different reaction at seeing Legion Zero standing there. Hellhound cowered in fear being that he was sure that Zane was going to turn into one of his feline forms just spite to him which Zane was thinking about doing but decided against it.

It wouldn't be heroic but it would be fun. Gargoyle opened the door and dropped down to make a getaway. Before he could go a step farther, a glowing red marble flew toward him and collided with the thug's back. The man was soon wrapped in bramble, falling to the ground. Zane stood there as he said,"You shouldn't have run man. At least your pal surrender with dignity or fear. It's the same thing when it comes to me.".

He got the thug on to his feet as he said,"So how about you tell me who you're working for since it's so obvious that you're neither working for the three toddlers fighting over Cypress Park like a toy that they can't share?". Before the thug could answer him, Zane sighed. The cowardly thug jumped down from the car with Zane said,"If it pleases you buddy, I retract my praise for your pal.". Zane's body soon sprouted an arm and threw the all too familiar candy syrup right at the cowardly thug.

It connected, trapping him in the sugar and was unable to move. "How did you do that man?" said the driver as he watched his friend getting dragged to them by a tendril, with his face grinding against the pavement in the process. It looked quite painful. "I've had a lot of practice catching runners before you guys. So about my question, answer it or I'll bring out my more violent side meaning that it'll hurt you a lot." said Zane, smiling as the thug began to talk.

A few minutes later, the police arrived with the other two members of the masked gang after cutting them down from their web prison. The job by the police was slightly rushed so the two thugs had pieces of webbing stuck on them. While they may be mad at Zero for stopping them, they were kinda thankful that they weren't stuck in the bramble or candy syrup since the former scratches the skin and the latter gets stuck in the hair.

The police thanked Zane for his assistance as normal with them taking the thugs away. "Well, I think that this is a good stopping point. I'll stop by Fantasia and grab us a slushie. It'll take about an minute to get ready. Thank the gods for my powers right?" said Zane. "Yeah. You've got a date and you need to be ready for it." said Twilight. "Yep. I will be and I'm looking forward to it. The girls are going to look beautiful and sexy, causing my face to lighten up fast." said Zane.

He soon launched himself into the air, flipping over some building and began to swing through the city. He didn't noticed that he was being watched by the Specter Samurai. He was asked to keep an eye on Lilith's greatest enemy not by Lilith but Anthony. The Phantom didn't like to serve humans since he found most of them to be the weaker species but there were a couple of exceptions. He can't refuse an order from his lord/lady. He flew off and was heading toward Champion Tech.

The Phantom was going to report directly to Lilith about Zane's plans for tonight and how he was going to be focus on the affairs of the crime war going on Cypress Park. He was also sure that the gang in masks were working for him aka the secret crime boss of Cypress Park. Lilith was making plans to handle him without alerting Zane since he would doubtingly cause a problem. However, the Omniverse decided to have a different plan for this Phantom as a shadowy figure attacked him.

Later, Danny was currently pacing back and forth outside of the restaurant where he and Zane were having their double date. It was Danny and Gwen as one couple with Zane and three members of his harem being the other couple. The techno-organic teen was wearing a black tuxedo that he got from Agent Mustang ,coming from Zero Shorts Episode 4, and a lagoon blue tie. His tie was to match his girlfriend's unique hair color but for Sorcerers, that's normal.

Danny sighed as he said,"Where the hell is he? He should been here by now but knowing him, he's probably trying to make a scene.". As his back was turned away from the street, Zane jumped down from the rooftop of the restaurant. The restaurant Vertigo Nomad was part of a hotel that was owned by Kristen's Uncle aka where Kristen lived so Zane knew this place like the back of his hand. While falling, his costume was changing thanks to Twilight's tendrils.

He's now wearing the same formal outfit that he wore during Zero Episode 103. Zane performed a very impressive and signature superhero landing which wasn't too bad on his knees. Danny turned around to see his best friend with Zane saying,"Hey there. Sorry I'm late. So why aren't you spooky to see me appear on the scene all ninja like?". "Yeah. I was at first but the shock kinda wears down after the seventh time you've done it." said Danny. "That's fair. So where's Gwen?" said Zane.

Danny shrugged as he said,"She's with your dates. They wanted to show up in style or something like that. I still don't get that superstition about us ignoring them until the date itself. It's like how you're not allowed to see your partner before the wedding.". "Yeah. I kinda stop questioning superstitions and this one is no such exception. I totally blame that one chick from Ultimate Showdown for starting this one." said Zane. 

Danny looked at his best friend as he said,"You know that not everyone is on the show is a monster right? I'm sure Ray isn't a monster plus a couple of them.". "You're right but nine times, reality TV corrupts people. Rain also told me the world of acting is a battlefield being that most actors usually try to outshine others by cheap tactics." said Zane. A limo soon showed up as Danny said,"So do you know whose limo that belongs to?".

Zane shrugged his shoulders as he said,"No idea. Why are you asking me this?". "Since you spend most of your time dealing with the antics of the rich members of Cypress Park, I thought that you would know which limo belong to who." said Danny. "Nope. They all kinda blend together." said Zane. "Okay. Think it belongs to the devils?" said Danny. "Maybe but I really doubt Astrid and Chloe wouldn't dare spare a limo for Rae unless they were forced by Ignacio or me." said Zane.

Danny looked at Zane with him saying,"Now by forcing, you mean scaring them like you did to them before right?". "Yeah. Something like that." said Zane. "Okay then. So do you think it belongs to Roxy then?" said Danny. "Probably not. Her father hates me if you recall so why would he lend out one of his limos to one of his step daughter's friends. He might think it's for me so he isn't taking the chance. I think we know the driver though." said Zane.

Before Danny could ask what he mean, the limo's passenger side window opened up. Efren was sitting there in a limo driver uniform as he said,"Hey Captain and Danny! Good to see you guys.". "Efren is the driver?! Shouldn't you be working tonight?" said Danny. "He's right Efren. I mean the Velvet Spoon is going to be busy tonight since it's going to be packed with singles ready to mingle with the other singles." said Zane.

Efren smiled as he said,"I am you guys. The boss lady decided to help out her favorite customer with his love life.". "You're her favorite customer right?" said Danny. "Correct." said Zane. Efren was soon hit in the head by a piece of paper as he grabbed it. Efren nodded as he said,"Anyway, prepare to be amazed boys.". Danny and Zane soon watched the man leave the limo and run over to the passenger seat, opening it.

Gwen walked out of it with Danny's mouth opening. She's wearing a black dress with azure blue ribbons on her arms. "Hey. You guys look great." said Gwen. Danny was still in a stunned state with Zane slapping some sense into him by a "light" slap to the back of the head thanks to a tendril. Danny glared at Zane who whistled. "Zane. I would be mad at you but I'm sure you'll be getting the same thing." said Twilight, shrugging.

Danny walked up to Gwen as he said,"Ignore our immature friend Gwen. You look beautiful.". He hugged her as she returned the hug. "So are my dates in there too? I'll probably do the same thing as Danny except transforming into Liger Form, acting like an idiot and blowing my secret identity at the same time. You look nice by the way Gwen. Don't get jealous bro." said Zane, looking at Danny who rolled his eyes.

Gwen shook her head as she said,"Nope. It was just me and Efren. They decided to meet us in the restaurant. I know that you wanted to be with all of them but well, things happen for a reason. You'll just have to take them on a date. Oh thank you for the compliment Zane.". Danny quickly put his arm around her as Gwen said,"You're not jealous are you Danny? You know that I love you and you alone right?". "I know that. I just wanted to show you how much I love you." said Danny.

Zane nodded as he said,"Yeah. He does Gwen. Whenever I'm around a couple, the guy usually does something stupid like Brad. He does stuff to prove how much of a man he is despite Leigh liking him for his heart rather than his muscles. Whenever he does something stupid, Leigh or I promptly hit him and hopefully, he learns his mistakes eventually.". The trio walked inside of the restaurant as Efren smiled. "It's happy to see love. I miss you babe." said Efren. He entered the limo and drove off.

Meanwhile at the Cypress Park Amphitheater, people were heading there to see the surprise hit of the season the Queen Program which decided to play in Cypress Park longer due to the success of the comedy play. Fun fact, the pies that the play uses constantly is from the Mom and Pop store known as the Cuisine of Art which first appeared in Zero Shorts Episode 1. Kurt was heading up the steps to the amphitheater and unlike most guys here, he was wearing his normal outfit.

This is due to his date ,of a few weeks, being someone who likes to dress casual. "So I don't get why this show is so popular. I mean aren't most plays supposed to be dramatic and filled with death or something?" said Kurt. "You're not wrong but plays can be multiple genres just like film. This show is popular because it's a funny and engaging story. I'm just happy you agree to attend the show with me tonight Kurt." said a female voice.

Kurt around turned to see his date standing there. Her name is Abigail Watson but she likes to be called Abby since Abigail is too stuffy for her liking. She has long, wavy black hair and green eyes. She has a small button nose. She has violet red lipstick and matching colored eyeshadow. She wears a maroon ripped long sleeve blouse under a black romper with gray straps and silver buckles, showing off her midriff. 

She wears black capris with a gray belt and a thorn belt buckle to it and black knee high platform mary janes with a noticeable silver strap. She wears a red scarf around her neck which partially hides a silver rose thorn necklace. She also wears gold hoop earrings with maroon fingerless gloves. She has red nails and fake pointy teeth. Despite this, people like Atem, Uriel, Wolfram, and Zoey think that’s she’s a vampire despite her clearly not being one.

Kurt smiled as he said,"Yeah. I mean I didn't expect us to spend our month anniversary doing this though.". "And what do you expect our anniversary to be? Maybe you want to be knocked out again Kurt. Your brothers did find it funny to hear that's how we met." said Abby. "Yeah. You got lucky and I really wish those three didn't tell Zane about it." said Kurt. "True. So are you ready to be impressed Kurt?" said Abby. "Yep." said Kurt, walking into the amphitheater.

As the audience ,including Abby and Kurt, were taking, a rigoletto was starting up. Just above the crowd,  there was a meeting of pure evil about to take place. Andrew stood there with his two main enforcers/lieutenants Carmen and Thomas standing to the left and right of him respectively. Andrew was wearing his normal outfit since it was considered formal wear. His two enforcers/lieutenants were also wearing formal wear as well but their formal wear was also built for combat.

Carmen is wearing a beautiful red kimono style dress. She's still wearing her trench coat, gray fingerless gloves that goes up to her elbows, black choker necklace, silver arm guards and leg guards, and brown knee-high boots. She  had all of her weapons on her but one is well known. It's a powerful sword which goes by the name of Klinge. It's a medium sized long-handled double-edged Cruciform Broadsword with the blade being like a scythe and thorn like.

When she gets serious, her sword gains a gold aura. It’s blade can’t be destroyed by normal material and it gets repaired upon absorbing a liquid. Thomas ,like his boss, is wearing a black suit but he's still wearing his protective face mask. He's also wearing his black belt that has several grenades and black black thermal goggles that has red lenses and rest around his neck when not in use. "It's a darn shame that Taurus was unable to attend tonight's events." said Andrew.

Carmen giggled as she said,"It's totally because Zero's been screwing up Taurus's operations and that made the boss mad lately. He's so hot isn't he snowy?". "Yes he has but don't forget about those two also interrupting us." said Thomas who was looking at the clearly insane assassin. "Yes. Legion Zero is just one force of good that against our criminal empire. The other two forces are Crimson Spade and the demon. However, that isn't our biggest worry tonight. Things will be quite hectic." said Andrew.

The two nodded as the door to their private room opened up. The trio of Clair, Craig, and George stood there. The only one of the three to dress up is George but Craig is wearing a top hat so there was an attempt on his part unlike Clair. He's wearing a gold cape, held up by two silver clasps on both sides of his chest. "Mastermind. It's a pleasure for you to join us." said Andrew. He walked over to him and held his hand to shake it.

George looked at it with him saying,"Can the formality Collins. We're here for business not to play childish games.". "You're right but the start of a good relationship ,business or otherwise, should start off good." said Andrew. The two had a glare off as Craig and Thomas stopped their respective leader fighting each other. "So where's Reactor? He's supposed to be here right?" said Craig. "Boo! Why did you stop them fly boy?!" said Carmen.

Craig soon glared right at her as he said,"Because I don't want to fight unless it's needed and knowing the industry we work, a fight will happen.". The door behind the three members of the Battalion soon opened up. Connie stood there wearing the dress she wore in Zero Episode 123. "The true kingpin of Cypress Park Reactor has arrived." said Connie. A man walked into the room with Andrew then clenching his fists at seeing the once ruler of Cypress Park's criminal empire standing there.

Reactor aka Julian Dawson was the kingpin of crime in Cypress Park for many reasons with two reasons sticking out in particular. They were his ruthless tactics to maintain order and his radioactive personality. He's one of the first metahumans in Cypress Park but at the time, the term metahuman wasn't really a thing. He has ability to produce and control radiation but he's able to live outside of a radiation suit thanks to his radiation being unable to suffer health effects to exposure to radiation

He can project this radiation from his body as energy beams, fireballs, or waves of radiation. He’s also unable to feel the cold and touch of a woman no longer. That may seem confusing since his radiation isn't deadly. Lets just say Connie was motherless at a very young age thanks to Julian's enemies and leave it at that. He's a tall man with a very muscular physique. This is impressive despite his age. He was jail for a long time so he needed to do something to kill time other than rule it.

His appearance makes him look younger than he is. His body is divided into two halves, making him stick out no matter where he goes. The right side of his body has fair looking peach colored skin which reveals that he's Caucasian. He has short, white hair which looks professionally done and dark blue eye. He has a scar on his right cheek. The left side of his face isn't pretty so let me tell you why. His skull is clearly exposed with a navy blue glow to it.

He's wearing a black suit with an silver tie. Andrew could see two silver bracelets on his right wrist with the gold skinned man keeping a close eye on them. He was sure that the Engineer or one of the Alliance scientists made them for the man whose been in prison for a long time and has probably got rusty which he was going to use to his advantage. As the Maestro began the show below, the three crime boss sat there by their respective leader. "Let us begin." said Reactor.   

Thomas stood there as he thought to himself,"Me and Carmen are more than capable of watching the Commander's back during the summit. My cold and her unique skills are able to take down the living wattage and the rest of them if they decided to fight. However, Randall is being quiet for a while now and that's concerning.".  A butler ,who was clearly scared out of his mind, came in and served a drink to the three.

His fear is well earned since most of them are known super villains and the girl in the red dress was licking her lips. He was scared of Carmen the most. Reactor picked up his glass as he said,"To the Valentine's Day carna...conference.". "Wow. He isn't even subtle." thought everyone in the room with Connie internally facepalming at her father's slip up. The three crime boss soon clinked their glasses with each other, making a ding sound through the room.

Back at the Vertigo Nomad, two thirds of the Maelstrom Trinity ,which was coined by Kevin and this group consisted of Allen, Danny, and Zane, and Gwen were sitting at a fancy table. It could fit twenty people easy. "Yep. Kris was right. The place has amazing food." said Zane while skimming right through the menu. "I'm sure you're clearly ignoring how much everything cost. You should know that most people aren't made of money or have so many connections to it." said Danny.

Gwen placed a hand on her boyfriend's shoulder as she said,"You do know that Zane's dating the owner's niece right?". "Yep. Even though Kris and Sal are out of town due to family drama, we can eat here for free." said Zane. "Really Zane? Sal does know about your black hole stomach right?" said Gwen. "He does and according to our video call, it'll be fine." said Zane. "Okay. That settles that. So where is the rest of our group?" said Danny.

The techno-organic teen got his answer with Zane's face turn bright red and mouth drop to the floor literally. "Okay then. I didn't like that earlier did I?" said Danny. "No. Yours was cuter while his is more comical. We should probably bring him back to reality before someone noticed his jaw touching the floor." said Gwen. Danny punched Zane in the shoulder, returning Zane's jaw back to normal. The trio of Karen, Rachel, and Rain stood there.

Zane called all of his harem goddess who've graced the earth with their beauty. Karen is wearing a short spaghetti strap aqua-silver mini dress going to the middle of her thighs and black tights. She's wearing silver high heels that look rather expensive. Her hair is curled over her right shoulder and a black rose in her hair as well. Rachel's dress clearly shows off her womanly figure being the most provocative dress out of the group.

This makes sense given Rachel's bloodline since devils are known for being quite seductive. This is a strange thing to note since most if not all devils being completely idiotic fools in the matters of the heart. Her dress is a backless steel gray silk dress with matching heels and a molten gold sash around her waist. It was displaying a fortunate portion of her cleavage and her shoulders being that it was split in the front of the dress.

The hem of the dress reached her lower legs with a small slit going up the right side of the attire. Rain is wearing a simple, flowing light blue dress that seem to be sparkling. It reached the middle of her thighs and hugged her figure perfectly. She's wearing black expensive looking high heels. Her hair was tied in a bun. Zane had to force himself from not grabbing the trio, taking them back to his place and have some fun if you catch my drift. It isn't a game of pattycake.

Karen looked at Zane with her saying,"So is Zane okay? He hasn't said anything since we've arrived and I'm worried.". "And this is our Zaney right? He isn't a clone or robot duplicate that he has laying around his lab or tower. He has that right?" said Rain. "Nope. He's the real deal. I'm sure he's stunned by how beautiful all of you are." said Danny. "Yep. That's right!" said Zane with his face blushing red and was stuttering a bit.

Gwen smirked as she said,"Okay Zane. I guess you have your moments of weakness after all. You're real smooth.". "Be nice Gwen. It's one of his cute features." said Rachel, smiling. The girls soon sat down as Karen sat to the left of Zane, Rachel sitting next to Gwen, and Rain sitting next to Rachel which left the spot to the right of Zane open along with the other six seats. Danny sat next to Karen by the way. "So I have to ask you girls something." said Danny. "What?" said Karen.

Danny said,"So why aren't one of you girls sitting to the right of Zane? I'm sure that Karen sitting to the left of Zane must have been a brawl between the three of you.". "Yeah. Was there some mud involved or what? If so, I want to see it." said Zane. Danny and Zane were then hit by Gwen and Twilight respectively as the two girls said in unison,"Boys.". "It's fine Gwen. We decided who gets to set next to Zane through rock, paper, and scissors." said Rain.

Rachel smirked as she said,"And yes Zane. We did the fun way.". "Really? I have to see it. So who is sitting to the right of me then?" said Zane. Just then, Brad's group appeared from out of nowhere. His group consisted of Austin, Brad, David, Hannah, Leigh, and Vicky with the latter member shocking Zane since he hadn't really spoken to her outside of their costumed life. Austin, Brad, David, and Hannah are wearing their formal wear from Zero Episode 110.

In the case of Leigh, she's wearing the exact same dress she wore at the beauty pageant except it was now gold. Vicky is wearing a red strapless knee length dress with a neckline, exposing part of her chest but not too slutty. The upper half of the dress is a dark red color and the bottom of the dress is a pale red color. She's wearing a black cloth belt, diving the dress in half. She's wearing violet strappy heels with it exposing her painted indigo toenails that matched her lips and nails.

Before Zane could say anything, Brad said,"Oh wow! What a total surprise! Us romantic fools think alike don't we? Lets sit together since you got enough space!". Brad sat to the right of Zane with Leigh sitting next to her date. David and Hannah sat next to each other with Austin and Vicky sitting next to her. "Okay. I think I know why the spot to the right of you wasn't taken." said Thomas. "So how come you wanted to sit at the same table as Zane?" said Austin.

Hannah looked right at him with her saying,"It's fine. We've come to an agreement.". "Yeah. I'm still shocked that we aren't enemies anymore because I'll miss our arguments." said Zane. "You two were never enemies. You just disagreed a lot." said David. "That makes them enemies man." said Austin as Vicky was looking at Zane. He looked good and wondered if he and Karen were together since she was looking at him. Oh. Austin and Vicky are here as friends by the way.      

Back at the Amphitheater, a disguised Gary ,who was in his butler disguise, was serving the three crime lords and most of their lieutenants. Carmen was the only one not stopping behind her leader since she was watching the show below and giggling whenever someone got hit in the face with a pie which happened a lot. Just as Gary was about to leave, he was stopped by Thomas who placed a cold hand on his shoulder.

Gary turned toward the cryokinetic who spoke,"So what are you doing here Joe or whatever name you're going by?". Thomas was slowly releasing some frost onto the man with Gary saying,"I'm only here for a quick fix!". Thomas smiled as he said,"Fine. Stay out the way. I don't want to see you get stabbed by the armored man or psychopath girl, blasted by electricity/energy, or just killed.". "Will do sir." said Gary.

The man soon leave the room clearly in fear as a remaining butler gave Thomas a folder. "What's this for kid?" said Thomas. "Someone left this for you Mr. Wright aka Cryonic." said the butler. He was gone as Thomas opened the folder. His eyes widened as he looked at the three man sitting there and talking. Connie looked at her former lover and could tell that something or someone pissed him off but the ones working for George weren't paying attention since they were focused on the show.

Back at the restaurant, the group there were talking with Brad picks up his fork and "accidentally" dropped it on the ground. Leigh looked at him as Brad said,"Oops. Guess I'm a pretty clumsy. Hey Alvarez. How about you help me buddy?". "Wait what?" said Zane, getting dragged by Zane below the table much to the confusion of Karen, Leigh, Rachel, Rain, and Vicky. "Listen. I need your help man." whispered Brad. "With what?" said Zane.

Brad looked at Zane who said,"I don't want Leigh to think I'm stupid!". "You're not stupid Brad. You just have more sports smarts than books smart. Just be yourself. I mean I told you this and also Kris did plus your brother and father. Your mother would say this too if she was around you." said Zane. "Didn't you save her from Downpour and then she slapping you?" said Twilight. "Yeah but she likes smart things and honestly, she knows who I am or was!" said Brad.

Zane rolled his eyes as he said,"Yeah. She does know that but she decided to go out with you after you've changed. Relax. Women can smell fear and also desperation.". "I know that but I'm scared man. Look do you have any idea on how to help me?" said Brad. "Nothing comes to me except by pinching you. If I see you do something stupid, I'll pinch you." said Zane. "Perfect! Thanks for the advice Alvarez!" said Brad, hugging Zane.

He was soon pinched by Zane who said,"You were doing something stupid. Just getting warmed up pal.". "And the sadist is here." said Twilight. Brad and Zane came back up, pretending like their unique conversation didn't happen. "Weren't you picking up the silverware?" said Leigh. "Why? I mean are you in.....? Ow!" said Brad, glaring at Zane who whistled innocently. Danny, Gwen, and Rachel knew that Zane's sadistic side was here.

Back at the Amphitheater, the play was going on along with the meeting. "Look here Drew or should I call you Gold Commander. I'm impressed with how you took over Cypress Park in my unexpected absence but here's the thing. Me and my family have been ruling this city for generations and you're not taking what belongs to me even though you and I once worked together. You were my number one guy and now, you're my biggest enemy." said Reactor.

Andrew shook his head as he said,"Times have change Julian while you haven't. You've always made everything about you. The criminal empire should be run like a business rather than a gang like it did under your rule. Under my better rule, we've been able to increase our money intake by pretending members of our society.". "You fools. You may think that your business will be stable even though he's making you two fight over scraps like rats." said George.

Reactor looked at the sorcerer and the man said,"I think you are taking about Legion Zero. Heard about him while in prison. He's quite powerful despite being so young. I thought you would have asked him to join your business Drew.". "He refused. Turns out that he can't be bribed by greed like the rest of the goons." said Andrew. "Legion Zero is a persistent pest. He has been focused on keeping all of us from reaching our true potential. I have a idea." said George.

Thomas crossed his arms as he said,"Which is what?". "It's simple. We'll split the city in three equal parts and work together to take down the hero and release that on the scene. Both of you know what I'm talking about." said George. The lieutenants were confused by what he was talking about except for Thomas who clenched his teeth. "You have such confidence to speak like that Mastermind. I now see why you would call this summit. It's due to that confidence of yours." said Andrew.

George looked confused as he said,"Hold on you gold-skinned fool. The relic did!". He pointed to Reactor with his eye and eye socket widened. "You can't play me for a fool boys! I was asked here by my former right hand to this summit!" said Reactor, pointing at Andrew. As the three men argued like children, Thomas got close to Connie. "I hope you weren't aware of the monster they were talking about." said Thomas. "What if I was snowy?" said Connie.

Thomas sighed as he went over to a nearby vase of flowers. He then picked up a flower from the vase, with him giving it to Connie who blushed. This was a shock to her since Thomas never showed her this kind of romance when they were dating and ever since she saw Thomas once again, she was slowly but surely falling for him. The two were about to kiss with Thomas grabbing her from behind and was holding a translucent tube.

It was filled with reddish-purple liquid. On one end, there was a plastic stopper and the other end had a needle. Most of the liquid went into her body as she smacked it away, breaking it. She soon glared at Thomas with her soon falling unconscious and toward the ground. Reactor's eye widen as he said with fatherly worry,"Connie!". "Wow! I didn't see that coming at all!" said Carmen. Craig flew into the air with Clair firing a stream of lightning at Thomas.

The cryokinetic made a ice shield, which blocked Clair's shot and directed the lightning right toward Craig whose eyes widened. The force of the electricity sent Craig into a wall. George soon removed his cape with him covering his body in silver Animus. "You fools made a big mistake crossing me and my organization!" said George. "We didn't plan on crossing you. Thomas, explain yourself right now." said Andrew, glaring at the metahuman who shrugged.

George glared at Andrew as he said,"Yeah right! What do you take me for?!". He blasted Andrew into the wall with Animus. Clair soon grabbed him, shocking him in the process. He soon threw him throwing against the glass window, cracking a bit upon contact with the businessman's body. This somehow didn't distracted the audience below since the show was hypnotizing being that the jester just threw a pie at the visiting noble after he insulted the jester's puns.

Yes. This show is mainly a comedy but has some serious moments. These moments are far and few between. However, there was someone who noticed the man crashing into the window. This someone was Kurt Alvarez being that the pyrokinetic looked up to see Andrew against the window. Kurt knew Andrew from his brother since the gold skinned man was his mentor. "Okay. I'm sure that something is going on and Zane likes that guy. I better go help him." thought Kurt.

He looked right at Abby who was laughing at the joke from the jester. "And I really don't want to leave her but I can't let my bro down." thought Kurt. After she finished up laughing, she looked at her date who was trying to leave his seat but wasn't for some reasons. Abby touched his shoulder, getting his attention. "Are you alright Kurt? I made sure to get us the comfy seats." whispered Abby. "I'm completely fine Abby. I'm grateful for the nice seats since I'm not that guy." whispered Kurt.

He soon pointed to another member of a crowd. This member was Zane's most harsh critic Curtis Goodwin who was clearly looking uncomfortable. "Yeah but he has it coming. Unlike the company I work for, I actually like Legion Zero." whispered Abby. "Yeah me too." whispered Kurt. He didn't like the man not just because he's a terrible reporter according to his aunt. It was mainly because he was constantly bashing Zane despite all of the good he did.

Back above, Andrew glared at three individuals. Clair who was firing a constant stream at electricity at Thomas who blocked it using ice walls, George who was holding him against the window, and his former right hand who betrayed him by knocking out Connie. Carmen would have helped him out but she was fighting against Cosmonaut. Reactor was holding his daughter's body and was unable to do anything about this.

Andrew sighed as he looked at his gold brass knuckles and nodded. He soon aimed his hands toward the Sorcerer with George's eyes widened at the sight in front of him. In all reality, the brass knuckles were actually a custom made Thompson .45 caliber machine gun and Sniper Rifle. This only came apparent when the knuckles turned into gauntlets. The weapons fired a barrage of gold energy bullets, forcing George to drop Andrew to protect himself.

Andrew landed and kept his barrage on George, dodging a chair thrown at him. Andrew soon fired a giant golden blast, jumping back. "Explain to me why you decided to this before I start attacking you as well." said Andrew. "You know what I'm talking about Collins. It's the Enigma project. I know that you're involved so I really don't hope you hate too much for this. I won't let you or anyone unleash a creature like that on the city!" said Thomas.

The man soon fired a wave of ice at Andrew and George with both of them. Reactor was holding his daughter's body while she loudly groaned in pain. She was clearly unable to fight back and whatever Thomas put in her was hurting her. He turned toward the trio of Andrew, George, and Thomas who were fighting it out. He placed his daughter against a nearby wall and he said while removing his suit jacket,"Don't worry sweetie. I'll get him back for hurting you.".

He pressed down on his bracelets with him saying,"Plus you were too good for him.". He was soon covered in brown armor that covered him from head to toe except for his face. It has bluish magma lining going through it. His gauntlets were five-digit sharp claws. He has a revolver in a holster slung on his right arm with two magma blades ,matching his armor in terms of design, hanging from a holster on his waist.

He charged right toward Andrew who was focused on keeping Thomas back using his gauntlets and the gold skinned man was pinned against a wall. Reactor then threw Andrew, blasting the man with radiation. "I never liked the pain your radiation gave me. I think it's time for me to give you payback for everything you've down to me." said Andrew, landing on the ground. Reactor ignored his taunt as he once against charged at Andrew.

Andrew tried to redirect the man but it failed as both he and George went through a wall, sending them down toward the ground. George caught himself by casting a levitation spell just as Andrew kicked Reactor in the chest and sent him toward the ground, breaking it. Andrew landed on the ground ,in a supervillan landing, as the three villains stood there glaring at each other. "And now, it's personal." said Reactor.

Back in the meeting room, Thomas looked down to see the three and he walked toward the somehow destroyed table. He sat down and ate some of the cake remaining there. He looked around to see that Carmen had warped both Clair and Craig out of there. "It seems that the C club is already gone. It's a darn shame that you couldn't joined them Connie. However, I did this to protect those innocent since the Sigma project doesn't discriminate." said Thomas.

He sighed as he said,"I wouldn't normally trust a folder given to me by the help but those people won't be hurt by that monster again.". He walked right over to where George sat and found a tablet on the table. "And with this, the Sigma project will be gone." said Thomas. Meanwhile, Gary pulled out his phone and removed his disguise. "Time to bring in the big gun." said Gary, hoping Scott would pick up and rely the message.

Back at the restaurant, Danny grabbed a napkin with him wiping some food off Gwen's mouth that had some food on it. "Yo Malone. You really scored a real mod....... Ow!" said Brad with Zane lightly hitting him in the arm. "Zane's enjoying punishing Brad isn't he?" whispered Rain. "What do you think?" whispered Rachel. Zane's cellphone soon rang as Zane said,"Son of a.... Excuse me.". He left the table as Hannah said,"So place your bets. Do you think it's his company of his family?".

David looked at his girlfriend with him saying,"Since when do you care about what's going on with Zane's life?". "Yeah. You two hate each other don't you?" said Austin. "I don't hate him. Sure, I do find his jokes really bad but he really does care about his friends." said Hannah. Vicky nodded to that as Danny overheard Zane's conversation. "Hey Scott. I'm sure I told you this but I'm on a date with.. I hope you're not joking because if you are, I'll hate you forever. Okay. I'll be there." said Zane.

He walked back to the table with him saying,"Well, I have to jet.". "Why? You do know what today is right?" said David. "Yeah. It only comes once a year. Can't Zenith Industries not need you for once a night?" said Vicky. "Sorry but this is something that can't be ignored. After all, I can't ignore any cry for help even though I don't want to." said Zane. He sent a psychic message to his harem, the other member of the Maelstrom Trinity Danny, and Gwen. The duo of Danny and Gwen nodded.

Danny stood up as he said,"And we have to get going too. Zane may need our help especially if it's that guy.". "He isn't that bad but just in case, we better get going." said Gwen. "Even though he wants to make this Valentine Day's special. He really can't ignored the crime war coming to a peak." said Twilight. "Oh and here's your flowers by the way." said Zane. He soon gave Karen, Rachel, and Rain three different flowered bouquets much to the other guys except Danny's shock.

Zane smiled as he said,"I actually handmade each bouquets since pretty much every florists in the city was robbed by either Gold Commander or Reactor's gang.". "Dude. Why did you have to show us up like that?" said Austin. "Well, get on my level. I'm sorry ladies." said Zane. He kissed the three members of his harem on the cheek, causing Vicky to blush. "Alvarez! Why are you three going right now?!" said Brad. "Brad. Just be yourself okay?" said Zane as the three heroes was gone.

Back at the amphitheater, Kurt heard a silent but loud bang and looked toward it. "Sorry but I have to go use the bathroom. Be right back." whispered Kurt, leaving. Abby was confused by this with her wondering what was up with Kurt. She then noticed Curtis leaving as well. "Okay. If those two are leaving, something is going on. I need to find out what's going on." thought Abby. She was also gone just as the pie throwing got really intense.

Outside of the Queen Program and inside of the amphitheater, there were currently two fights going on. One fight which consisted of Andrew, George, and Reactor and the other one fight consisted of Carmen, Clair, and Craig. Fun fact about the C fight, they're in Hall C. So many Cs. Andrew was firing gold energy bullets at George who soon grabbed a sofa to block the bullets. He soon made and then threw a large Animus construct of a double decker bus at Andrew.

Andrew dodged it as he said,"All of us were betrayed by Cryonic because of that project!". He soon fired his weapons at his two opponents with Reactor saying,"You honestly think that? I'm sure that he's loyal to you, too stupid to do anything without our guidance! You were and are the same!". The gold skinned man's bullets were blocked by Reactor's armor and Reactor fired a radiation beam right at Andrew, destroying Andrew's left gauntlet.       

George smiled as he said while firing Animus at Andrew,"Indeed. You really do seem to have trouble controlling the peons below you "Commander". If you can't control him, what makes you think that you can control this city?!". Reactor pressed a silver button on his palm, releasing a huge radiation shockwave at Andrew forcing him to dodge it. Andrew  turned toward where the radiation hit, seeing the pure destruction his former boss leaves.

He soon fired his left gauntlet at George who dodged the bullets by hiding behind a pillar. Unknown to him, Kurt was watching this from behind a sofa. "Yep. I was right for ditching the show. Time to power up!" thought Kurt as he pulled his costume in a box. Andrew continued to fire his gauntlet at Reactor who dodged them. His gauntlet ran out of ammo being that Reactor charged toward Andrew and was about to punch Andrew in the face.

Andrew dodged the attack by slamming the gauntlet into Reactor's chin. "That tickled. You've gotten stronger haven't you Drew?" said Reactor. Reactor grabbed Andrew, throwing him into the air. The gold skinned man soon threw a punch at Reactor who caught it. Before Reactor could do anything about this, both him and Andrew were smacked by two Animus tentacles. George stood there with him standing above the other two gang boss.

Reactor soon clenched his teeth as he said,"You're a real coward aren't you Mastermind?". "What can I say relic? When I see an idiot like you and the commander, I just have to make you two look even dumber." said George. "Oh wow. I finally get to meet Reactor. I really think between the three of you fighting for Cypress Park, I totally want to join in except I won't control anyone thought. Not my thing but do you guys mind if I get deal in?" said a voice.

The trio of Andrew, George, and Kurt knew this voice all too well as they turned toward a huge crystal chandler and saw Zane standing there. "If I can't, mind telling me whose win? I totally think it's half and half. No offense Mr. Collins but total offense to you Georgie." said Zane, smirking. "I'll show you my authority over all of you by ending the annoying pest!" yelled George, firing several missiles of Animus at Zane.

Zane jumped onto the ceiling as the missiles hit the chandelier, causing it to fall to the ground. Zane soon noticed that no one was there as he thought,"Okay. I guess Kurt's gone but I don't want to putt the people inside of the theater in danger.". He soon jumped down and transformed into Mummy Form with him stretching his right arm to grab the chandelier. The other arm was wrapped around the ceiling while Zane gently set down the huge object.

While Zane was doing this, George was in front of him and had two giant Animus buzzsaw. "Hey magician." said Reactor. He released a shockwave at George, making George go right through the chandelier and causing it to explode. Zane soon reformed from the damage as he said,"Seriously?! I was trying to keep this a private fight but no! I don't get that.". He soon began swing around the room, dodging several Animus blasts from George.

The mummy soon wield his staff and blasted George in the chest with a beam of energy. This sent George outside but George wasn't going alone. Andrew, Reactor, and Zane were grabbed in the process by three Animus hands. The three were thrown onto the ground with the people outside running away. George picked up Andrew into the air with the police arriving. Scott stood there as he said,"Keep everyone behind a barricade! Protect the citizens is our first priority!".

Reactor broke out of his Animus prison by blasting it away with radiation. "Hey wizard! Fight me man to man! No more tricks got it?!" shouted Reactor. He soon held his two swords with George nodding. He released Andrew onto the ground, letting him fall to the ground like a cat. However, the Sorcerer kept his Animus prison over Zane since he knew how deadly Zane could be. Andrew looked at the mummy with him thinking,"This is a risky move but it's a move I'm willing to take.".

Back at the restaurant, Austin said,"I just don't get why Zane would abandoned his significant others on Valentine Day.". "That isn't fair Austin. You know Zane. He wouldn't do it unless it was really important but this time it was." said Vicky. "I guess." said Austin. Brad was poking his fork which was some small snails. "So enjoying your mollusks Brad?" said Leigh. "Of course. I mean I just love eating this cr... Ow!" said Brad.

He glared right at David with Brad saying,"Really?!". "Zane told me to do it while he's gone and honestly, I wanted to do it." said David, smiling. Back at the amphitheater, George was pushed into the fountain as Zane watched. Before he could do anything, the Animus was gone thanks to Andrew hitting it with a trash can. Zane looked at Andrew who said,"This is only temporary since we have mutual enemies.". "I agree." said Zane.

Reactor punched George in the face with George returning the punch. The older villain slammed into a mail box with him throwing the mail box at George. The sorcerer dodged it and the box was about to hit some civilians. It was stopped in place as Zane stood there in Robot Form. He soon threw the metal box at Reactor and it was sliced clean in half by the metahuman's swords. "You're more than just a punk messing with these two fools. I have to say that I'm not impressed." said Reactor.

Zane floated toward Reactor with him saying,"Well, I'm just getting started old timer because I can juggle several things without using my arms.". He soon manipulated a nearby light post and wrapped it around Reactor. Reactor broke out of it and fired a beam of radiation at Zane. The robot dodged it as he said,"Note to self. Need better ways to keep Reactor down.". George watched the two fight with him matching two Animus tentacles.

He was about to stab both of them while they were distracted but Andrew slammed into him. "You won't be hurting them. I may have differing opinions on them but I won't let you hurt them while their backs are turned." said Andrew. "Your kindness is a downfall!" said George. He blasted Andrew off him and the man was sent in a light post, bending it in half. Zane was dodging Reactor's punches with Zane deactivating Robot Form and landed on his back.

Reactor smiled as he pressed down on a silver button on his palm. He soon released out a radiation shockwave which sent Zane back and onto the ground. Crisis Judgement went off and he dodged a punch to the stomach. However, Reactor fired a beam of radiation at Zane. The teen was sent flying into a statue of a president. Zane couldn't get a good image of said president being that he accidentally knocked his head off.

Zane blinked as he said,"Okay. If I ever become mayor, I'm totally pushing for more durable statues if this one isn't a clear example of the weak statues.". He was soon grabbed by an Animus tentacle and was hanging upside down by said tentacles. "You will pay for messing with my conquest of this city boy!" said George. "Sorry but messing with the bad guys is kinda my modus operandi. So do you mind paying for tonight? My wallet is another costume." said Zane. 

He was soon thrown toward a police car with George and Tony helping the teen up. "Well, I think that he hates when someone forces him to pay for a meal. I can't believe that these three jerks are fighting each other and I'm forced to stop them. My luck am I right?" said Zane. "At least, it can't get any worse." said Tony. The three soon watched Thomas being punched out of the hole that George made earlier and slammed right into the statue that was in the center of the fountain.

The three crime boss looked at the super villain who caused them to fight in the first place. He looked like he was just beaten up by someone. Before they could question how he got here and what had happened to him, the three heard,"So Frosty tried to get rid of the three of you by making you fight each other but he forgot to factor in the secret final boss.". A creature soon walked out of the hole with it holding the unconscious Connie. It's a gigantic devil like creature with it looking male.

He's easily twelve feet tall with him having a large, muscular build. His body is covered in maroon green scales with large pointy ears. He has noticeable horns sticking right out of his chin, being a makeshift beard. His mouth was wide open, showing off his sharp fangs. His yellow eyes are bigger than normal with him having black sclera and no pupils. He has a pair of dragon-like wings which were currently sticking out of his back. Both of his hands and feet are webbed.

He wears a black full bodysuit that looks to be well fitting to his larger than normal body. He wears crimson red armor plating around his upper arms and his chest. He wears this with dark purple cargo shorts. He wears dark brown gauntlets and dark gold boots. "Isn't that Hellion Baron? He got juiced up!" said Zane. The devil threw Connie to the ground with Reactor running toward her and barely caught her. The two was soon hit into a nearby pillar, breaking it.

Above the pillar, there were people up there. Since said pillar was gone, the balcony was falling apart as people were hanging onto something. "I'll by ignore the return of my least favorite devil to do what heroes are the best at. Saving people." said Zane. He jumped into the air with him making a Green Nether slide. Some people landed right on the slide, sliding down and was taken away by the police before they were hurt. Reactor placed Connie to the side.

Behind the police blockade, the host of Apex Mind was trying to get his camera crew out here but it wasn't working since his phone wasn't getting a signal. George soon grabbed Zane with an Animus tentacle with the teen being pinned to the ground. He soon pointed an accusing finger at Zane. 'This is the cause for our problem! We can rule Cypress Park together or dividing it! We need to end this pest before that can happen!" yelled George.

The three villains (George, Hellion Baron, and Reactor) looked at Zane with Zane saying,"Okay. You really need to take a chill pill Georgie. I mean you're even louder than the fat lady and unlike her, I can't throw a pie at you to shut up.". "You just like antagonizing him don't you?" said Twilight. Zane shrugged as the three other villains walked toward Zane. "Hold him still so I can finish him off before I...." said Reactor, cocking back his fist.

Andrew soon kicked Reactor in the face, sending him back and then pulling back George's arms. By doing this, the Animus was gone. "Let me go you fool!" said George. Zane got back up and he said,"Oh wow. You're actually saving me. I guess you weren't lying about working together so I'll handle the baron.". He dodged the devil's swipe as Zane and the devil fought. "Sorry but there are too many witness. I can't be see working with super villains and gangsters." said Andrew.

George yelled,"Then you're weak and deserve to die!". He used a telekinesis spell and threw Andrew into a nearby statue. As Zane was dodging the devil's fireballs that was coming from his mouth and then exploded upon contact with the ground, he was soon grabbed by Reactor. He was then giving Zane a painful bear hug with Zane saying,"So why are you mad at me? I mean snowy and the devil hurt your little girl not me!".

Reactor ignored Zane as he covered his body in radiation, burning Zane's body. "You're weak and I am the ruler of Cypress Park not any of you!" said Reactor. "Um. You're wrong but whatever." said the devil, making two big fireballs. "So I know that you like girls since you had a daughter but with this hug and heat you're giving me, I think prison changed a lot of things about you." said Zane with him wishing that he was back at the restaurant at this moment.

Meanwhile in Hall C, Carmen was dodging the combined teamwork of Clair and Craig. "So how are you two working together? I mean you two aren't together right because it's pretty weird since fly boy is in his 50s and sparky is in her prime." said Carmen. Craig clenched his teeth as he said,"Shut up! I am not fifty! I'm thirty damn it!". He fired a barrage of missiles at her with Carmen dodging them and then got blasted in the back by Clair's lightning.

The electrokinetic smiled as she said with her holding Carmen,"So we defeat the planet's great assassin. Does this make us the best assassins?". Craig shrugged as he threw five feather/knives at Carmen with the assassin smiled. A twelve pointed star appeared and Carmen was gone as Clair was stabbed by the feathers. "Oww! What the hell?!" yelled Clair. "It wasn't my fault!" said Craig. The two were soon blasted by an azure blue energy blast, sending them flying into a couch.

The two got back up as they saw Danny and Gwen ,in costume, standing there. "So do you think these two alone?" said Danny, aiming his Spook Howitzer. Gwen soon blocked Carmen's sword with Time Rune as she said,"What do you think?!". The two swordswoman fought as Danny looked at the duo of Clair and Craig with the former covered in electricity and the latter flying in the air. "So we get Zero's sloppy seconds to fight instead of him?" said Clair.

Danny rolled his eyes as he said,"Whatever sparky. So how about you two surrender before I make you two look stupid than you already are?". Craig soon flew toward Danny with the techno-organic jumping over Craig and activating Spectral Busters, slamming it onto Craig. The man groaned with Danny kicking Craig away. Clair created an electricity construct hand and was about to create him but she was blasted by a black and white fireball.

Danny turned to see Kurt standing there in his costume. For a quick reminder, Kurt wears a black and white jumpsuit with his eyes covered by a silver bird-themed mask over his eyes. "Need an assist there Morph?" said Kurt, flying over to him using fire wings which sound delicious and painful at the same time. "Sure but what are you doing here?" said Danny. "Well, I was on a date before the super villain brawl went on." said Kurt.

Craig flew toward them as Danny said,"Oh. That sucks man. We were interrupted on our date too but...". Craig was about to strike them down only to be stuck. "What the? Why can't I move?!" said Craig, trying to move. He looked toward Danny whose arms had changed into his new inventions Deathly Talons and Eidolic Magnet. Danny's left arm was the Ediolic Magnet and his right arm was the Deathly Talons.

For a quick reminder, here's what they look like. The Deathly Talons are giant emerald green and silver claw like gauntlets that cover his arms up to his elbows. They also have small but very powerful tri-nozzled artillery cannons on them. The Eidolic Magnet is a giant red and white magnet that has an azure blue computer circuitry pattern. "You know that it's rude to interrupt someone's conversation like that right?" said Danny.

Kurt shook his head back and forth with him saying,"Villains have no respect Morph. You should know this by now.". "I know but it just so rude." said Kurt. Craig tried to escape with Clair about to fire a huge wave of electricity from her mouth at Danny. She threw the wave at Danny but Danny moved Craig in front of the wave. "Not again." groaned Craig, remembering the last time she did this to him. He screamed as his suit overload, causing him to be unconscious.

Before Clair could do anything about it, she was blasted by Danny's talons and then kicked into the back by Kurt who moved fast. Danny soon wrapped the two villains up in metal as Kurt said,"So is it just you or did you come with friends?". "He did and I'm sorry." said Gwen. The two looked at Gwen who stood there. "What's wrong?" said Danny, walking over to his girlfriend. "I was fighting Carmen before someone grabbed her and took her." said Gwen.

Kurt looked at the Sorceress as he said,"And by someone, who are you talking about?". "Remember the monster who captured us last year? The one who looks demonic." said Gwen. "Yeah. I sure do and I've been wanting to make him pay for hurting my family." said Kurt, releasing flames from his body. "Yep. He and Zane are totally family." thought Danny and Gwen. "So where is this guy?" said Danny. The three heard an explosion as they said,"Found him!". The three soon ran off.

Back at the Vertigo Nomad, the customers were dancing being that the couple of David and Hannah were dancing. Austin was dancing with someone but not with Vicky. This is due to her sitting there at the table with Brad, Karen, Leigh, Rachel, and Rain. Leigh looked at the dance floor and her date who smiled. "Brad. If your knee is still bothering you, we can just talk." said Leigh. "No! We'll dance Leigh!" said Brad.

Brad slowly stood up as Leigh looked at him. "Brad. I'm not the type of girl to force chance on her date to be different. Even though I thought you were a major jerk, you changed thanks to Legion Zero and being friends with Zane." said Leigh. Brad smiled as he placed his hands on her. "Then dance with me. It's honestly something I've wanted to do with you since we came here." said Brad. The two of them soon left the table, leaving behind the four girls.

Rachel sighed as she said,"Well, I'm going to dance.". "By yourself?" said Vicky. "I was going to dance with David as friends plus seeing Hannah getting jealous will be hilarious." said Rachel. "I'm sure you'll record it for Zane right?" said Karen. "Yeah. He'll like that." said Rain. "Why are you three not mad at Zane? I mean he abandoned you on the most romantic day of the year. " said Vicky. "He's always trying to be there for us even though he's busy." said Karen.

Before Vicky could say anything, there was a guy proposing to his lover who said yes as the two hugged and kiss. Everyone was cheering for them. Fun fact, these two are from Zero Episode 86 who Zane got together. The boy actually mentioned Legion Zero. Full circle. "Okay. I got to tell Zane about this. He loves romance more than anything." thought Rachel. Vicky clenched her teeth since she don't like Zero but like Zane. Ah love.

Back with Zane, Reactor was trying to crush and burn Zane's bones and body respectively. "So how about you let me go or else?" said Zane. "Or else what brat?" said Reactor. Reactor's face was soon covered in candy syrup, blinding him. "I can't see but I don't need my vision to end you!" said the armored man. "Oh wow. You're smarter than the average punk." said Zane. Reactor used his full strength, trying to crush Zane's bones.

Thanks to his hyper hearing, Zane could hear a faint sound coming from Reactor's armor. "So what's the plan Zane? We both hear the sound." said Twilight. "Time to dismantle the old man." said Zane as he turned into Inventor Form. He soon melted with Reactor's armor and Reactor noticed that the teen was gone. "Where did you?" said Reactor. Reactor's armor soon began beating itself up with it slowly shutting down. "No! Dam you! This can't happen to me! I'm Julian Dawson!" said Reactor.

He began firing radiation beams everywhere as he heard,"Dude. Calm down. I mean I did this to your daughter earlier so how about you just stop?". Reactor's armor soon punched Reactor in the face, knocking him out. Zane soon removed himself from Reactor's armor and reformed back to his normal form. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane dodged Hellion Baron's fireballs by sprouting plane like wings and the flames covered Reactor.

Zane was focused on fighting Hellion Baron as George walked toward Reactor. "I know that you hate when someone attacks another in the back but all fair in war." said George. He soon made an Animus chainsaw and began slowly cutting through Reactor's armor. George was soon hit in the face by a ball of mud. George was annoyed as he turned toward Zane who was in Swamp Form and Andrew. "So do you think he's mad at me?" said Zane. "Probably." said Andrew.

Crisis Judgement went off as Hellion Baron ripped open the ground in front of him and threw it at the duo of Andrew and Zane. Before it could hit them, Zane stretched out his arm and grabbed it. He then threw it back at the ground in front of George, breaking it. George fell into the hole and both Andrew and Zane were grabbed by two Animus tentacles. They were dragged into the hole and before Hellion Baron could go after them, he was stopped by a small mechanical tongue like whip.

He turned around to see Danny standing there with Spook Howitzer aimed at him. "Seriously? Why are you trying to stop me by yourself?" said Hellion Baron. The devil  threw two fireballs at Danny with one getting sliced in half by Gwen and the other one was kicked into the fountain by Kurt. The entire area was covered in smoke as the fountain were gone along with Hellion Baron which is impressive given his size.

In the hole, George stood there and saw Andrew's hand in the rubble. Before he could do anything, he heard,"Hey Georgie! Don't forget about me!". George was soon punched in the face by Zane with the sorcerer firing several Animus bolts. Zane dodged them as he headed toward George, kicking him in the face hard. George was knocked to the ground and groaned out,"I hate you Zero". "Yeah I know." said Zane.

The plant being wrapped George in a plant prison which was the V.B.R.S. from Fairy Legion Chapter 39 but stronger. Zane walked over the pile of rubble and Crisis Judgement went off. Andrew then tried to grab Zane but it failed due to Zane being intangible. Zane let go of George's prison and he deactivate Swamp Form. Andrew slowly stood back up and he said,"It seems that you know what I'm going to do.". "Have a polite chat about girls we like?" said Zane.

Andrew chuckled at Zane's joke as he said,"We had a fight the first time we met so long ago. You were able to dodge my punches before punching me. I wasn't trying to fight you. This time will be much different since we have no witness.". Zane nodded as he said,"Yeah I do. This time, I won't go easy on you since I'm sure you won't be holding back on me.". Andrew tried to punch Zane with Zane grabbing his hand and throwing him away.

Andrew ripped out a pipe as Zane jumped toward him and was smacked by the metal pipe into a wall. Andrew threw the pipe at Zane with the teen dodging him. Zane was soon in the air with Andrew jumping into the air and was going to punch him. Zane dodged it as he kicked Andrew in the jaw. Andrew soon held two pipes and tried to hit Zane with them. Zane blocked most of them with his gauntlets before jumping backwards.

He soon sweep the leg of the gangster, sending him to the ground. Andrew recovered with Zane spin kicking the man into the wall. George soon watched the two fist fight with them being equal and was knocked out due to a piece of rubble that was a result of the two fighting. Zane soon directly kicked Andrew in the face with Andrew grabbing a large boulder. He threw it at Zane with Zane grabbing the boulder, forcing him back. He then threw the boulder back at Andrew, hitting him so hard in the face and knocking him to the ground.

Before Andrew could get back up, Zane trapped him in candy syrup. "You won't be fighting anymore since you're kinda stuck in your defeat." said Zane. "Even though your jokes are terrible most of the time if not all of the time, you deserve this victory my greatest rival." said Andrew with out cold as Zane sighed. He looked at George and then Andrew. Zane smiled as he grabbed George and threw him into the air through the hole.

A bit later, the police was throwing Reactor ,who was unable to move thanks to Zane shutting down his armor, into a police car and out of the hole, a tied up George came out and slammed into the ground. "Can't you be gentle with us hero?" said George, groaning. Danny walked up to him as he said,"Yeah. Zero isn't like that. So where is he?". He saw Zane dragging Andrew out of the hole and he said,"Hey Scott. Meet Andrew. He's the Gold Commander obviously.".

Scott nodded as he said,"Thanks Zero. Mr. Collins. You're under arrest.". "And totally not getting the special treatment any time soon." said Zane. "Castro! I'll give you five seconds to arrest Legion Zero and the rest of his super friends! They were probably planning on attacking this upstanding individual in the first place and take over Cypress Park! We all saw him save that ungrateful hero's life and he's a monster!" shouted Curtis.

Zane rolled his eyes as he said,"Yeah. I'm sure that guy is never going to like me.". "I think he hates you more than most of the criminal empire hates you." said Andrew. "And you're making jokes now too. I'm so proud." said Zane. Before Curtis could do anything, Abby punched him out cold. "You're a stupid man. Zero saved us." said Abby. Gwen looked at Kurt who mouthed,"That's my girl.". Andrew was being dragged to a police car as he said,"Hold on. Where's Cryonic?".

Scott looked right at him as he said,"Don't know. He vanished just like that demon.". The cops soon dragged Andrew to a police car and he turned around to face the heroes. "Thanks. I'm sure that isn't what you planned for Valentine's day but it was bonded to happen eventually." said Scott. "Yeah. We didn't but the night isn't over." said Zane. "Dude. TMI." said Danny. "I didn't say anything about what we're going to do." said Zane.

Danny looked at his best friend with him saying,"Yeah but I really don't want to hear about. We're going to get going.". Gwen nodded as the two were gone. Kurt was gone as Twilight said,"Pretty sure he was going to do something about ditching Abby.". "Yeah. Speaking of ditching, I hope the girls don't kill me for ditching." said Zane. "Yeah. They won't but you're already dead kinda." said Twilight as Zane chuckled. "Yeah but you know what I mean." said Zane. The teen flew off.

The next day at the Police precinct, Scott was in his office and typing something on his laptop. He heard a thump on the window and turned around to see Zane ,in costume, with him sticking onto the window. "So how are you doing son? In the doghouse?" said Scott. Zane soon threw a paper onto Scott's desk as Zane said,"Have you seen the paper?! Andrew made bail and he wasn't even in jail for a day! How corrupt is this society?!".

Scott looked at Zane with him saying,"I'm sure you know the answer to that question since you've been around the worst of it during class.". "Yeah but still. I was kinda hoping not to see or hear about him for a week." said Zane. "You did good kid. The entire world knows about his criminal past and will be constantly watched. His operation will be crippled in time and he'll be in jail for the rest of the year like Reactor." said Scott.

Zane nodded as he said,"That's fair. You think I could?". "Probably but you should know this. Thanks to your action, there is a power vacuum in Cypress Park and nature doesn't like a vacuum of any kind son." said Scott. "Indeed. Like with the last power vacuum, I'll be stopping any power vacuum that will happen in my city." said Zane, clenching his fist. "You seem confident. Something happened last night didn't it?" said Scott. Zane smiled as he said,"Yeah it did.".

Back in Collins Enterprise, Andrew entered it. He closed the door and turned around. "I'm sure you're well aware of my fall from grace thanks to your action. It seems that my desire to keep my control over the city lead to my downfall, leading to several new powers entering it. So are you going to do something about it Zero or should I saw Zane?" said Andrew. His chair turned around and revealed Zane, sitting there in his casual clothing.

The teen looked right at him as he said,"I'll stop it. I have plans for everything and I have my friends helping me out. It's called being part of a business. You taught me that. So when did you know about me being Zero?". "For a while now, don't worry. I'll keep your secret safe. Just keep doing what you do best. Be a man worthy of great power but doesn't let it corrupt you." said Andrew. "Thanks. So what is the Sigma Project?" said Zane. The two soon talked.

Next Time,
The Hellion Baron returns at the cost of Andrew being defeated! What happened to Thomas?! What happened to Zane after defeating Andrew, George, and Reactor?! Who is Janet?! Why was Zane on Ithuna? Will the Atizagan, Kronsen, and Surrotan return? This and more next time on Zero!
