A/N: Yep. If the title doesn't tell you what's going to happen, we're back to the supernatural rather than science fiction. Don't worry. We'll be seeing the Paradoxes again and Rythos being that both of them will have a role to play later on in Zane's adventures. If you're curious, Zane's travel across the United States and Infinite Void is almost over. I think with Episode 134 or 135. Don't know if it's going to be either A or B just yet.
I would plan ahead but like I've mentioned before, I write in the moment with the plans I made before hand. We're going to see more about what Zane has done in the past four years. There was a lot good but there was a lot bad. To quote Grimace,"Perfectly Balanced, as all things should be.". So we're going to be talking about Steven Universe the Movie since I promised that I would do it last Author Note but well, Ash winning a Pokemon League is big news. Made it to CNN in fact.
So I mentioned that I binged Steven Universe to prepare for the movie and my opinion on it after watching it is this. It's good. I mean let's compared it to the other Cartoon Network Studios Animated Films out there. I like it on the exact same level as the animated Ben 10 Films, the Grim Adventures Movies, Codename Kids Next Door being this one gave me nightmares as a kid not ashamed to admit that, and some others except for the Ed, Edd, and Eddy Movie.
Compared to most people I've seen, I actually hate that show and it's because of the animation. It always bothered me how it looked unfinished and half assed plus it just bothered me even as a kid so I don't think it's my old age talking. I think it's on the same level as Jojo which I don't like for the art style and other reasons but the art is one of them and a big reason for me. I usually don't mind bad art or that kind of stuff but I guess I'm picky like everyone else.
So back to Steven Universe. I do think that you need to be a fan of the show before watching the movie. Sure, they do give a quick summary of the five seasons and pretty much expect you to have watch the show in some regard. I would say that do that as well. The songs in this were all good being that Steven Universe having a stinker of a song is kinda rare even thought people's music tastes are totally subjective.
One of my favorites is Independent Together since Steg ,which is an okay fusion name, was amazing and seeing Opal do something other than make a cameo is something to be applaud. I can give like without seeing Sugilite though. I don't hate the woman who plays her but she won't appear too much given how popular she is. I like how Bismuth got a song being that Season 6 may give her some character development she needed.
Every character felt on point being that no one felt out of character at least to me. You could say that the Diamonds were but I was okay with their sudden change since I'm a fan of Fairy Tail where their villains are given a warning before becoming good guys. Looking at you Jellal. Plus Blue, White, and Yellow aren't the most evil diamond in my opinion. Before I go in on my opinion on the final known diamond so far, we need to talk about the villain.
I don't think it's a stretch ,get it, to say that Spinel is the best villain in Steven Universe history since I kinda want to see her get redeem. I think one of my favorite things is how she moves being that I'm a fan of Bendy ,which is a thing I think, and Cuphead due to their classical animation styles. She moves straight from that era and that's a nice touch. So when discussing Spinel, I think it's appropriate to talk about Pink Diamond aka Rose Quartz and one of my least favorite characters in Steven Universe.
Now when I was watching the series, I knew about the twist since I didn't care about the show at the time the twist was revealed. As the series went on, we learned that Rose ,who seemed to be perfect and without flaws like a gem should be, isn't perfect. That isn't a problem for me since that kinda of character is something I like about Steven Universe. No character is written as perfect being that having flaws and issues is kinda a giving on that show.
It's like how in Fairy Tail, most of the main cast has a tragic past to them. It's just the norm and honestly, it gives the cast of Steven Universe an extra dimension to them. So my and I'm sure several other's opinion on Pink ,before the twist on who she was, was that she was a brat. I'm not an analyst on characters whatsoever but I can tell that she's being a spoiled brat. She practically begged Blue and Yellow for her own colony but what happened? She got bored.
I mean she probably thought it would be fun since her "sisters" did this all the time and she wanted what they had. She later fell in love with the Earth being that like before, she begged for Blue and Yellow to spare the Earth being that they told her to do her job like an adult. After that, what did she do? She made up a new identity as Rose Quartz and became the Crystal Gems leader alongside Pearl and a recently fused Garnet plus Bismuth.
This lasted for a long time being that in my opinion, the war only happened because instead of ignoring Pink, Blue, White, and Yellow should have listen to her. Communication is a two way street after all. Hope I'm using that right but Pink's "Shattering" was because of their lack of communication and that costed them. Pink did leave behind a lot of problems for her son because of this even though she didn't mean to or did she? Who really knows?
She did this again when she decided to have a baby with Greg. Sure, we wouldn't have gotten the lovable Steven ,who has a neck now which is kinda weird to see on him, if she didn't but still. She basically abandoned her closest friends to do what she wanted. Others have brought up how terrible Pink was but that wasn't her worst crime. She left Spinel alone and standing perfectly still for over three thousand years under the mindset of them playing a game. That's just awful.
There is no other words to describe this since with Pink's other crimes, she could be given the benefit of doubt since things that are out of our control happen and blaming it on others isn't a good thing whatsoever. Spinel's backstory is tragic and makes you feel bad for her. So should Spinel been redeemed and Pink getting in trouble? Yes and you can't convict a dead person. That's my ending thoughts on Steven Universe the Movie. Good movie.
So this episode and probably the next one will be in the same location. If I change my mind on this detail, I'll change this statement and story to fit my new mind set but I'm really liking the idea of these two episodes being in the same location. It's like how Cypress Park is the most common location in Zero. So why fight fate? Anyway, lets begin and we'll how things are done with Zane and his family/friends just appearing and disappearing after each episode.
Narrator P.O.V.
In Traverse Groves, Washington, our story starts in a unnamed cornfield which may or may not exist in Washington but there could be one. It was a cloud and dull evening there. There was a shindig ,aka a party because I really like the name, going on in the field outside of the town. The local teens were there partying being that they weren't going to get caught by the police or the town's local group of superpowered teens. They won't be appearing in this episode but maybe the next one.
One of them bumped his friend as he said,"Dude. I had the best idea.". "What?" said his friend. "You know we're near that abandoned farm that still provides for the town. I was thinking that we go tip over one of their cows because of how the prude decided to ignore us. " said the first teen. The other teen smiled as the two, their pal, and a fourth teen were trekking toward the nearby farm. A bolt of orange lightning struck the area and this caused the nearby wildlife to freak out.
They sneaked into the pasture by placing a stick under the barbed wire fence. Three of them had a mischievous look on their face. "I don't think we should be here you guys. I feel like something bad is going on here and it isn't pleasant." said one of the teens with a noticeable Southern accent. This teen looked much taller than the three other teen due to him having a heavier build. This is due to him being on the local wrestling team. He wasn't fat but muscular.
He has a long, rounded face with a prominent nose. He has fair light skin with dark brown eyes. Parts of his face had mud on it. He has jet black hair with bangs that parted to his right. His hair is shaved at the sides with the back untouched, giving him a puesdo and thick mohawk. He's wearing a pair of nearly rimless glasses. He's wearing an open navy blue jacket with a brown collar and cuffs. He wears a gray shirt with thin purple lines that form a grid pattern. His shirt has white cuffs.
The boy is wearing dark blue jeans with folded cuffs and visible seams. He's wearing dark gray sneakers with red soles and white laces over white socks. This teen in question was holding a cute looking dog. Like Wolfram, she looks to be a combination of different dog breeds. She's a female cocker spaniel/golden retriever/Siberian husky/Shiba Inu. She has fluffy black fur all over her body with light blue eyes that seem sparkle.
The fur around her muzzle is a light brown which goes up to the center of her face, right to the top of her eyes and ending in an arrow-shape. Her nose is a black color with her ears being dark brown. She's wearing a golden bandanna around her neck that's hiding a pink medallion. "Then whey did you and you mutt come with us then Lester?" said one of the teens, crossing his arms. "Lester. I thought you of all people would be mad at her since she basically told your pa to fuck off." said another teen.
Lester couldn't argue against that as the third teen said,"Yeah. All we're going to do is push the cow down and it won't be able to come up.". "Just like your dick." said the first teen. His friend laughed at him as the third teen glared at him. "Don't worry. We'll let you and Princess here tip the first one unless all that muscle of yours is nothing more than a result of your mama feeding you too much piggy." said the second teen, pinching Lester's cheek.
The young wrestler had scrambled under the fence as he saw the second teen mockingly sucked his thumb. Lester turned to his dog with the dog nodding. Both of them were determined and Lester walked toward the cow. He placed his hands on the nearest cow and tried to push it over. The large animal would just not budge however and the dog began helping her master. Lester slipped and landed in a pile of thick mud that the cow was standing in alongside his pet.
As it was falling over, the cow was mooing in the process. The three other teens began laughing hysterically with them saying,"Priceless!". The trio looked up and stopped laughing as they saw something shocking and they began running away. The dog ran after the young trio with Lester getting confused. "Hey you guys! What's wrong? Tessa! Come back!" shouted Lester. He slowly turned around to see a bull looking rather pissed.
Let just say that the bovine wasn't too happy about watching humans tipping their kind. Lester gulped with him standing his ground. "Bring it on you overgrown steak!" said Lester. Before the bull could do anything, it gained a nervous expression and ran away. "Yeah! You better run! No one messed with Lester Horgan and lives to tell the tale!" said Lester. He didn't noticed what scared the bull but he did begin hearing heavy moaning and breathing behind him.
He slowly turned around once again with him seeing a monster behind him and gulped in fear at the sight of it. It's a tall, thin humanoid green plant like creature being about seven to eight feet tall. It has four long limbs with them functioning as its arms and legs. It has five blood red pods on its face being that Lester guessed that it was its eyes. It has a large mouth with it filled to the brim with sharp, sinister teeth. It's a mixture of both a shredder and a Venus Flytrap
Lester tried to run away but couldn't run away from it. Holding out its arms, it roared with orange lightning striking the ground around the plant. The teen's legs were wrapped by vines that came from the creature. Lester was being dragged closer to the creature with the teen trying to break out of his vine prison and in a very short period of time, Lester was eaten alive by the plant monster. If you think this night is over, you would be dead wrong.
Meanwhile, the three teenagers from earlier and Tessa were running before one of them bumped into something as they were back in the cornfield where the party took place. "Watch where you're going you bastard!" said the teen. He looked up and saw someone standing there. He looked to be Caucasian with dark gray skin with his facial feature resembling that of a zombie. His body looks to be rather muscular with a tall appearance and noticeable scars with gun wounds on his chest.

His body looks to be rather muscular with a tall appearance and noticeable scars with gun wounds on his chest.
He has long waist length dark gray hair with streaks of red. He has noticeable muttonchops and beard. His left eye is completely missing. His right eye is cybernetic being a pure white color with a black pupil. His cybernetic eye is bigger than normal and covers most of the lest side of his face. He has red lipstick. He has dangling thin fingers with long claw like fingernails. He's wearing a black coat with spiked arm bracelets and buckles. His chest was clearly exposed.
This was showing the two giant holes in it along with two brown bandoleers that strap over both of his shoulders and stomach. He's wearing dark green camo cargo pants with brown boots. He has a knife holster strapped to his boot and a noticeable pistol holder. He has a clown skull necklace around his neck. He moaned like a zombie with the boy backing up before laughing. "Hey guys! Look! This freak here didn't get the message that Halloween isn't till October!" said the teen.
His two friends laughed as Terra growled right at the zombie. The zombie looked right at the teens before raising his arms into the air and several orange energy wrappings ensnared the teen who made fun of him's legs. "Huh?!" said the teen as the zombie threw him over his shoulders and crashed into the field. Before the teen could do anything, the plant monster that devoured Lester stood there and swallowed him whole, leaving behind a scream.
One of the two remaining teen looked at the other teen as he said,"Okay! I'm so done with this!". "Wait for me!" said the other teen. The dog had ran way earlier due to the zombie not caring for her but those who laughed at him. The duo ran through the cornfield, pushing away any stalks that were in their way and didn't noticed the blood all around them. They eventually reached the end being that they bumped into the zombie as orange lightning struck around him and they fell to the ground.
The zombie groaned as the two boys were dragged into the cornfield by vines and they screamed as the last thing they saw was the zombie smiling. "So I know that you and the Metamorphose are enjoying murdering teens but don't forget why we're here." said a dark and grim voice. The zombie turned around to see his partner standing there. He's a tall, muscular humanoid insect alien in a similar fashion to Cicada and looks to be seven feet tall. His chitinous hide/skin is a dark purple color.
He has black and white stripes on the sides of his face, arms, chest, and legs. His stripes look to be tattoos rather than birthmarks. He wears short, spiky black hair. He has his four bright blue eyes with them hiding by a pair of dark rounded sunglasses and a visible mouth with fanged teeth coming out of it. He has four arms with four sharp fingers and looks to keep two hands in his pockets. He has two legs with them looking to be stronger than his arms.
There are four beetle like wing coming out of his back. He wears a brown, leather coat with the coat having a hood that's currently over his head. His coat goes down to his knees. Under his jacket, he wears a black shirt with red sleeves and an white insect like symbol in the center of his shirt. He wears light gray ripped jeans and wears black sandals. The zombie groaned with him and the plant monster walking away and the bug followed them.
Several hours later and in the Vindicator. It was a bright and sunny day in a forest where said RV was parked next to a fishing lake on a dirt roar. Inside of the RV, Zane was relaxing. He was sitting on the soda that was nearby the wide entrance of the RV. He was on his personal computer aka his Z.E.R.O. watch with several light purple holographic computer screens floating above the watch and was telekinetic jugging some fruit.
Zane sighed with him saying,"Ah. I just love a lazy day. Nothing for me to do except to spent time with the people I love. Try harder Nova. It's kinda hard to sneak up on me.". He turned around to see Nova ,who looked the same as she did four years ago, standing there in her sleep wear. Check out Zero Episode 125.5 Notes for that. She pouted as she said,"Darn it and here I thought I could sneak up to you Sugah since you're currently working on something. What was it again Zane?".
The Cross Species sighed as he said,"Nova. I'm sure that I told you what I was working at Breakfast but I know you. You're not even going to try and understand it. I made it super simple.". "Zane. I love but for you, simple means something completely different but I love your big, sexy brain of yours. I can't understand how it thinks being that no one other than you can but I do know one thing. You're working on something important for the benefits of others and that's awesome." said Nova.
She walked over to him and sat on her lap. "So I have to ask. How did you convince Efren to let you borrow his precious baby so you roam around the US, helping people as Zero and famous CEO plus kissing girls." said Nova. "I asked him politely Nova if I could borrow it because I'm the one who gave the Vindicator an upgrade. He also can't say no to me as you clearly know by now. I also don't go around kissing every girl since you and the others are my girlfriends." said Zane.
He looked at her as he said,"So have you talked with Roxy about her dad about us being a thing? I hate not being able to tell people about us.". "I know that Zane but he hates you a lot. Whenever anyone mentions your name whatsoever, he freaks out and fires someone. It's mainly the help and I don't want to see someone lose their job just cause I want to express my love." said Nova. "I understand and feel for them. Tell them that we're always looking for employees at Zenith Industries." said Zane.
Zane smiled as he said,"So did Roland fire Alfred yet?". "Not yet but at the rate, he's going. So how are you doing?" said Nova. "Fine. I know you're worried about me but I'm fine. Honest. Don't need the look. I got that from the others after I told her about my adventure in the Infinite Void the first time. I'm honestly pretty scarred to begin with since my scars have their own scars." said Zane. "Zane. You've been distant lately since that day. Don't you should at least talk to someone about it?" said Nova.
The Cross Species sighed as he said,"I have and well, it's not easy getting over what happened. I mean it's my fault Nova.". "No one thinks that Zane. We have mountains of evidence proving that you were the victim not the culprit. Just think about heading back home. In Hannah's words, we miss our favorite pain in the ass." said Nova. "Yeah. I miss you guys too and I'll be there after I announced something that will change the Earth forever here in Traverse Groves, Washington." said Zane.
Before Nova could save anything, the door to the RV opened up and Wolfram busted in. Upon the door opening, Nova was gone. I wonder what's that about. Wolfram spotted Zane with him tacking Zane and licking his face. "Hey there boy. I hope you didn't cause anyone trouble. I know that we're away from people but you can't be too cautious." said Zane. Wolfram barked and Zane was smiling at the dog's enthusiasm.
He's always been Zane's light of hope and he liked that about him. "So where are your petwalkers Wolfram? Uriel and Zoey aren't the trouble making kind. If they were, they would get sent back home through the teleporter." said Zane. Wolfram barked. "They should be here right? Wolfram, you better not have left them behind again. You remember what happened the last time you did something like that." said Zane in a serious tone.
Wolfram gulped as he shook his head back and forth. The duo of Uriel and Zoey came into the RV with Zane noticing something off about one of his two daughters as of right now. Uriel was acting normal but Zoey was quiet. In the four years that he's known Zoey, she has never been like this. "Sorry daddy! Wolfram saw the RV and just rushed on ahead. Really don't get how he has so much energy even after a twelve mile walk." said Uriel, walking over to the fridge.
Zoey sat at the dinette with her looking at her phone, not saying a word. "So how long has Zoey being the silent one in the room? She's my clone after all. And where is your brother?" said Zane. "I'm right here dad." said Atem. Zane turned to see Atem with his hair covered in mud. "Let me guess. You fell into some mud because of a certain someone." said Zane as he handed Atem a towel. "Yeah. Please tell me that the tank for the shower is full Zoey." said Atem.
The young Phantom nodded her head as Atem sighed. "As you can see daddy, she hasn't talk to me or Atem about what happened at school the other day.". "Uriel. Stop it." said Zoey, glaring at her sister. "I think dad should know what happened sis." said Atem. "He doesn't need to what happen okay?! Just shut up!" said Zoey. She stormed into the master bedroom aka where Zane slept and slammed the door hard.
Atem sighed at his sister's behavior, Uriel looked at the ground, and Wolfram went over to comfort her like a good dog. "Um so does someone mind telling me what just happened? I mean I'm a mind reader but I like to hear it." said Zane. Ten minutes later, Zane was driving the RV and listening to the radio as his two kids told him what happened. "So you aren't mad daddy?" said Uriel as she sat in the passenger seat next to him.
Normally, a nine year old wouldn't be allowed to sit there but she wasn't your normal child and she called shotgun. "Why would I be mad? She kissed a girl. There's nothing wrong with that whatsoever Uriel. Love is confusing and can't be define like magic." said Zane. "He's right Uriel." said Atem as Uriel nodded. "I don't know why she's upset either dad. She knows that we'll accept her no matter what." said Uriel, looking at her hands.
Zane placed a hand on her shoulder as he said,"Girls are confusing Uriel. I'm sure you know that but asking me why a female does what she does is a unsolvable puzzle. As you know, I'm not exactly a normal dad myself. Had my first child when I was sixteen, had my other two when I was eighteen, and had more than one romantic partner as well. I'm pretty much the odd one. Polyamorous is just very judged upon and pretty much treated as illegal. It isn't so I'm not in too much trouble.".
Do note that this is in the Zero World not the real one. In a world filled with supernatural creatures and other outlandish things, polygamy being legal but treated as illegal due to its nature. "That's true so do you think Wolfram will be able to talk with her and where are we going? I thought you need to be here for your press conference." said Atem. "If she can't, she will. Remember me mentioning my old friend Liv. Well, we're going to meet her." said Zane, smiling.

Uriel gulped as she said,"Daddy. I love you but your smile is scary.". "Yeah she's right. Don't worry Uriel. Liv loves everyone and also, she'll be able to help Zoey with her problems after she's done with dad." said Atem as Uriel tilted her head in confusion. "So who is this Liv character? Is she friendly daddy?" said Uriel. "That is a word to describe her yes. Don't worry. If there is one person who can help Zoey out of her funk, it is her trust me." said Zane.
Fifty minutes later, the RV drove down a small hill where a farm was present. Like any farm, there was a ranch for the animals along with a wooden barn and shed. There was the main house where the owners lived and a wooden fence surrounding the land. "So are you here to take us here to learn the ethics of hard work?" said Uriel. "Not this time. I mean I taught you kids that lesson a long time and hard work didn't kill anyone." said Zane.
Atem nodded as he looked at Zoey who had emerged from the bedroom and sat there. The Vindicator pulled up onto the farm property before stopped. "Okay. Everyone out." said Zane as the door to the RV opened up. Stepping out, the kids and dog encountered the owner of the farm Liv with Marco by her side. For a very quick reminder on these two are and what they look like, let me give you a quick reminder of them in alphabetic order so it's Marco first then Liv since her name is Olivia Potter.
Marco is a tall man with a muscular figure. His appearance screams that he would rather use force to settle his problems than words. His skin is gray. His sandy blonde hair is slicked back and with parts of it rest in front of his face. His eyes look sleep deprived. His look is very stern and he's missing a chunk of his right ear. His outfit didn't look it would fit on a farm but as a mob boss. He's wearing a black and crimson striped button up vest over a long-sleeved white shirt.
He's wearing a dark green scarf, dark gray suit pants, and polished black shoes with a gold buckle to them. He's wearing a dark brown overcoat with a light gray fur trim over his shoulders. His hands have gold and expensive rings on his index and ring fingers. Liv is a very tall woman being eight or nine feet tall. She has long purple hair with noticeable eyelashes as her skin looked rather fair. Her eyes were sharp and gold color.
She's wearing a dark purple feather coat that covered her entire body. She's wearing a white top that shows off her chest and thin waist. She's wearing a pair of crimson red jeans and black knee high high heeled boots. The two were taking to the local sheriff who blamed them for the disappearance of some teens the previous night. Sheriff Wade Hardy is a tall, middle-aged and slightly overweight Caucasian male.
He has dark blonde hair with visible gray on the sides of his hair. He has broad shoulders and a wide jawline with bags around his brown eyes and wrinkles around his mouth. He's wearing a tan shirt with brown accents and a gold badge that says his name along with the word sheriff. He's wearing dark brown pants and brown boots. He also has a brown cowboy hat with a black band. Wade looked at them as Marco sighed.
Marco glared at him as he said,"So are you going to say something or what? I'm sure that you staring at us won't get us the answers you want sheriff.". "I think you two freaks know why I'm here on the day that I'm being forced to watch over the Traverse Ice Cream Factory for the next two days due to your guys actions." said Wade."And what makes you so sure that we were involved in the missing kids this time Wade." said Liv. "I just do okay! You're the freaks after all." said Wade.
The man rolled his eyes as he said,"Sound logic there sheriff. This half of town is full of idiots that are unable to move into the twenty first century. Seriously, it's confusing how you still use rotary phones here. We're apparently the freaks since you hate cell phones.". "Be nice Marco. They let us stay in their town without any problems so we should be nice to them." said Liv. "I'm being nice and you know that for a fact Liv." said Marco, smoking and blow the smoke into the air.
Liv stood right in front of the sheriff as she said while dwarfing him,"If you have proof, come back here and blame us. If not, I suggest getting out now. I don't think I can keep my friend from kicking your ass any longer.". Wade was gone as he rushed past Zane's group. "What was that guy's problem exactly?" said Zoey. "No idea." said Uriel. Liv saw Zane's group and she smiled. "Zaney!" shouted Liv as she grabbed Zane for a bone crushing ,at least to the kids and dog's ears, hug.

Liv saw Zane's group and she smiled. "Zaney!" shouted Liv as she grabbed Zane for a bone crushing ,at least to the kids and dog's ears, hug.
She began spinning himself and her around with Marco sighing. "She really missed seeing you kid. I mean I did too but both Ivan and Liv express it in different yet unique ways." said Marco. Liv put Zane down as he said,"It's always good to see you too Liv. Sorry I haven't been around to see you two much and I never expected you to fall in love Marco.". "Ha. Very funny. So how is your special lady doing Zane?" said Marco, smiling.
Zane nodded as he said,"Good. We're still working on wedding preparations and want to do in Cypress but....". "Roland is being a fucking prick and not accepting anything Zane related ever since he socked him in the stomach." said Zoey. She looked irritated with her arms crossed as Wolfram barked. "Huh. You mentioned how bad it was on the phone but not this bad. So did you tell the fun part?" said Liv. "Fun part?" said Uriel as Atem had a bad feeling.
His feeling would be proven right. "No. I feel like they should know what Liv and Marco's farm has in store for them from Liv or Marco respectively. While that happens, I need to talk with Marco about something private." said Zane, smiling. "And now, I'm worried." said Uriel as she watched Marco and Zane walk away. Wolfram tried to comfort the young girl as she mouthed,"I'm fine Wolfram.". "Don't worry Uriel. It's just some good old fashion hardwork." said Liv. "Seriously?" said Zoey.
Liv nodded as she said,"Yep. I remember when I was your age and I don't mean your biologically age. I was angry all the time and unable to accept who I was. It was due to me letting others decided who I should be. That isn't the way to live. I'm always to talk Zoey but you need to let me in. It's something I say to Zane a lot.". "And she's not kidding about that." said Atem."You reminded me of Zane at your age except he was much angrier." said Liv. "Really? You worked with my dad." said Uriel.
The woman smiled as she said,"Yep. I was the second woman to hold her other than Natasha. Isabel beat me to the punch on that but I was the first to heal her from being burned alive by alive and beaten by a masochist and her pets so take that Natasha!". Uriel and Zoey looked at Atem and Wolfram with the former shrugging. "It's a long story." said Atem. "Okay kids. Your group will work by unloading that truck full of feed over there." said Liv. "Gotcha." said Uriel.
She walked over to it with Atem and Wolfram following her. Zoey trudged behind them. He turned into his human form as he said,"Let's get 'er done partner.". Uriel looked at him with a look as Wolfram shrugged. "To be fair, Zane was going to do it first." said Wolfram. "Yeah. So what are those two talking about?" said Uriel. "No idea and we shouldn't bother them." said Atem with the two nodding as Zoey looked away.
With Marco and Zane, the Shadow Emperor sighed. "Zane. Sometimes. Why is always that whenever I heard something about you, it's you either gaining more power than you really should have or getting yourself hurt due to your nature of getting into trouble. So you're a Magnus now huh?" said Marco. "I guess. My DNA is still the same mess that it always is before Saint Archers. I can just use their powers according to the Magnus I met during my time in the Infinite Void." said Zane.
Marco sighed as he said,"Kid. Can't you just stay out of trouble for one day? It's like breaking into the Omniverse's worst prison wasn't enough for you.". "I can't help that my destiny just loves to attract trouble. Fate just works in a weird way like that." said Zane, pulling a cigarette. "You smoke now? I'm sure the miss don't like that at all." said Marco. "Yeah. She doesn't like this or my drinking but it calms me down. I'm a stressed out young adult after all." said Zane.
Marco nodded as Zane said,"So think you can help me out with my little problem? I mean you still have connections to the shady part of the Omniverse even though you're shagging my godmother and don't lie Marco. I have many ways to tell if a person is lying or not.". "I do and I can. Let me make a few calls and don't call it shagging. Just say lovemaking. You're not against me and Liv right?" said Marco, groaning at hearing shagging from Zane.
Zane shrugged as he said,"Not really Marco. I can tell Liv has always wanted a serious relationship even though she's with Freedom World and while they're very loving, they aren't the best for having a serious relationship. Liv is still a woman Marco and you better treat her or well, you know what it's like to make me mad for real.". "Duly noted. I got that little speech from Natasha and Shawn when they came by after punching Shawn for making me and Liv worry about him." said Marco.
Zane nodded as he said,"Yep. I'm happy to have my dad back.". "Even though you've been so distant to everyone lately. I talk with Rico and Theron. We know about that Zane. You need to talk with her or someone. She's your rock after all so don't abuse her or I'll beat the snot out of you. I happen to like the young devil." said Marco. "I will. So do you like my show?" said Zane. "It's really good and I usually hate television said Marco, smiling.
Zane chuckled as he said,"Yeah. That show is super popular with all ages thanks to Conner having his hands on it. It's been getting a lot of good press and the folks working behind it are getting a lot of attention from others not trying to get in my good graces so they can have a piece of my company for their evil.". "You're really a shrewd businessman aren't you?" said Marco. "When you can read people like a book without using your powers, you'll get ahead in this world." said Zane.
At the truck, Liv passed a bag to Zoey who groaned under its weight. She was on the dirt floor due to how heavy it was. "There is like a thousand of things and all of them are weigh a ton. Looks likes it is a job for....." said Zoey as she noticed her father looking at her before turning back to Marco. "Go ahead Lodestar. I'm sure we're out far enough for people to notice this kind of stuff plus Liv kinda expects you too. Right?" said Wolfram. "Correct. Have fun kids." said Liv, smiling.
About three hours later, all of the bags of feed were stacked into a high pile in the barn. "That's the last of it. There's nothing like working a good sweat kids and Wolfram." said Zane. He looked down at the two girls who were laying against the feed bags and panting heavily, the muscles in their body aching from the hard work. "I guess they're going to hate me for a while. So how come you aren't tired?" said Zane, turning to Wolfram with him shrugging.
Wolfram smiled as he said,"Because I'm so awesome.". "And you train with the sadist often." said Atem as he rolled his eyes. There was a metal clanging coming from the house as Liv rang a triangle from the porch. "It's time for dinner!" said Liv. "Sweet. I'm so hungry." said Zoey. "Yeah. We're on the farm so the food should be amazing." said Uriel. The two tried to get up but they couldn't. "Yeah. I should have expected Liv to overwork you but to this extent. She's a real sadist." said Zane.
Atem looked at her with him saying,"Just like you dad.". Zane rolled his eyes as he picked the two females up using his telekinesis with Atem and Wolfram following him. The wooden house was quiet as the group of seven sat at the table over the massive feat present. Liv and Zane were at the opposite ends of the table with Atem, Marco, and Wolfram sat on the right side of the table and Uriel and Zoey sat on the left side of the table.
The table was set with turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls, beef brisket, and pretty much everything that you would expect from a seasonal dinner. It was like heaven to the girls, mummy, and Wolfram being that they indulged in the food in front of them. "This is good Liv or should I say Marco. Didn't except you to be the chef of the house." said Zane. "You're just jealous I'm the better chef." said Marco. "If you honestly that, you're going down in our cook off." said Zane. "Bring it." said Marco.
Zoey said,"So what is there to do out here? I mean this part of town isn't exactly the most exciting from what I say on our way here. A serious lack of anything that screams the modern era.". "That's due to this place liking to stay in the past." said Marco. "Just like Cross Falls except they aren't sexist." said Uriel. "Well. You don't mind if I tell them Zane." said Liv. "Go ahead. I don't care since most of the time, tall tales turn out to be true." said Zane.
Marco sighed as he said as he stood up and grabbed his plate,"While I love a good story, we should get these dishes washed and hit the hay.". "What?!" screamed the kids with Wolfram and Zane covering their ears. "But it's still daylight out there for all of the gods sake!" said Atem. "Trust me. You'll be glad you went to bed earlier come tomorrow morning kids." said Marco. "And you would know this how exactly sir?" said Uriel. "Trust me. You want it. We don't hold back at the Freedom Farm." said Marco.
Wolfram nodded as his mouth was covered in food. Zane sighed as he said,"I'll meet you guys at the sleeping farm. Got to get this guy cleaned up.". Ten minutes later, Liv was leading the kids through a cornfield. The sun was setting in the distance and this created a peaceful sunset. The local wildlife was also active. "So are you going to tell us about what happened with the sheriff earlier? You were talking about it with dad after all." said Atem. "So spill it." said Zoey.
Liv looked at them as she said,"And what do I need to spill Zoey? You may not believe little old me since I may seem crazy.". "All of us have seem pretty weird stuff." said Uriel. "That's true. According to rumors, several teens went missing the other night along with their dog." said Liv. "And my dad and his dog are out exploring it right now aren't they?" said Atem. Liv nodded as Zoey said,"And why didn't he tell us? I mean I fought a werewolf and my brother was almost one. We can help him.".
Atem looked at his sister as he said,"Because your treatment is more important Zoey.". "So what is this treatment?! I keep hearing you, my dad, Liv, and Marco mention it but I haven't heard what it is yet so please tell me!" said Zoey. "Helping you accept yourself." said Liv, earning a confused look from Zoey as the three females and male were at the sleeping area. Said sleeping area was the wooden barn. They were in the upper floor of the barn.
The area had six bunk beds present along with an attic fan, a light stand, and an open window with a really good view of the property. "This will be your home away from home for the next couple of days since you're here with your father for his business changing conference. I have faith in him but he needs to be smart. The world of a business is a dangerous battlefield." said Liv. Zoey sniffed as Uriel plugged her nose from the awful smell that filled the room.
Atem shrugged at it as Zoey said,"So what's that smell? It isn't very pleasant.". "The living area for our guests is also the chicken coop. So I'll see you three in the morning and don't try and leave or else, you will regret it." said Liv. She left as Zoey groaned. "I'm enjoying this aren't you two? It's the smell of the county after all." said Atem. "Seriously? I'm sick of it." said Zoey, laying down on a nearby bed. She heard a cluck behind her as she said,"Hey!".
She removed the pillow away to reveal a hen sitting there at the base of her bed. "I guess we don't have to worry about fresh eggs in the morning. We shouldn't try to leave because Liv will know and she won't be happy about it." said Uriel. "Liv can get mad?' said Zoey. "She can according to dad. She has helped him through a lot of his hard times and I need you to promise me that you'll stay here." said Atem. The girl nodded as she agreed to her brother's request.
A few hours later. The sun had now set outside as the evening sky was hazy and dull with the nightlife active. Wolfram and Zane were heading toward the cornfield that the missing teens went missing. "So you ready for a mummy hunt boy?" said Zane. Wolfram nodded as he barked. Upon reaching the edge of the cornfield, Zane noticed a barbed wire fence. The two phases through it. The two were in the cornfield that all of the teens partying were taken from by the zombie and the plant monsters.
Zane sighed as he said,"So that has to be some kind of clue around here. Do you mind going for a ride Wolfram?". He turned into Swift Form with him picking up Wolfram. The dog gave his transformed owner a thumbs up being that Zane zipped around the cornfield and began looking for clues of any kind until he was at the spot where Lester was eaten. He placed Wolfram down on the ground with him saying,"Smell anything Wolfram?".
Wolfram began sniffing around the area being that he ran off and Zane went after him. Zane stopped as the dog stopped. Zane looked in front of him with him seeing some old oak trees and in the center of them, there was a crater. It looked like something or someone was digging. In the center and edge of the crater, there was a series of glowing orange footprints. These footprints led from the crater to the cornfield. "So do you think the kidnappers came from space?" said Zane.
Wolfram barked as Zane said,"Yeah. I know that it doesn't make sense but in my line of work, it's kinda the norm.". Wolfram pointed to the glowing footprints and growled. "What is it boy?" said Zane. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane said,"Never mind. I figured out how you sensed.". He deactivate the form. "Okay. This is a serious problem Wolfram and you know why." said Zane. The dog barked as Zane nodded.
Zane sighed as he said,"Yeah. This is a Nether Trail. Only a Phantom can emit this stuff and the energy this particular Phantom is emitting is toxic toward organics that don't have the ability to control energy or can't handle a good old dose of....". Crisis Judgement went off. "Wolfram. Get ready to fight. We've got trouble and not the friendly kind." said Zane. Wolfram looked toward the hill behind them and he saw four creatures approaching them.
They looked to be human males except for the noticeable plant like frills growing out of their backs and two bull like horns. They were glowing black and orange standing there. Wolfram growled at the sight of them. "Yeah. Those things are definitely not normal from around here and they're hopefully not permanently looking like that." said Zane. The four charged toward the duo, growling and snarling at them. "Split up. I'll get them from the right and you the left!" said Zane.
The mutants went in two different directions with two going after Zane and the other two going after Wolfram. Wolfram turned around and he growled at his chasers. The two mutants looked at each other with them turning their arms into vines. Wolfram fired a blast of White Nether at them, sending them flying into a tree. They were knocked out as Wolfram smiled. He ran off to go find Zane. The mutants that were chasing Zane eventually noticed that he was gone.
One of them growled to the other as they split up. One mutant spotted something moving in the bushes and they opened it to see Tessa from earlier. The dog barked at the mutant with the mutant about to attack her but he was stopped by something hitting him hard in the face. The creature gagged and growled while he was stumbling around blind. He was grabbed by an invisible object and was thrown into the air, only to be blasted by dark red lightning and this alerted his partner in crime.
The dog was confused by this strange phenomenon as Zane ,in Brain Form and in his human form, stood there. "You alright there pup?" said Zane. She barked as Zane sighed. "Yeah. I expected them to come back and hard. Stand back okay and cover those ears of yours. You'll hate this." said Zane. The dog covered her ears as she saw the human turn into a giant avian aka Raptor Form. "Time for you to face the music or should I say Vibration? Vibration Roar!" said Zane.
He gathers up a huge amount of Vibration being that he releases it out of his body through his mouth. It's a huge stream of dark red sound wave which has a noticeable bass sound to it. The two mutants went flying into the air and Zane smiled at this being that the female dog was shocked by this strange individual. A bit later, the four mutants were tied up in a mixture of barbed wire and V.B.R.S being the one that was used in Fairy Legion Chapter 39.
Wolfram and Zane ,out of Raptor Form, were looking at the two of them. The four mutants were out cold as Zane said,"So do you know what's going on here Wolfram? I mean you're the only one who was able to talk with the only being who may know what was going on even though she ran off after I turned back from avian to human. Really wished that she didn't leave right?". Wolfram looked at Zane with the hero sighing.
Zane looked away as he said,"Fine. I'll tease you about your future beau later. I think I have an idea to get some answers.". He was looking right at the orange trail. Wolfram barked as Zane sighed. "Fine then. I'll do that and then I'll go with my plan with you as well. Used to be a fun dog you know that." said Zane. He stood before one of them with him saying,"Okay. Time to get some information through the realms of dreams.".
The Cross Species turned into Fairy Form with Wolfram snickering at the sight of his master's current appearance and Zane smiled. "Ha ha. Keep laughing Wolfram and these adventures we have that are just between the two of us I'll be telling a certain canine about them. We both know how she doesn't approve of those adventures of ours." said Zane. Wolfram's eyes widened as he stopped laughing and Zane smirked.
Zane smiled as he said,"And this is why you don't laugh at me when I'm in Fairy Form. If they try and break out, stop them but be gentle. I'm going to try and reverse their mutation.". The mutant that Zane was flying in front of him was covered in a pink dust and Zane went inside of the mutant's head. Deep inside the mutant's head, Zane was in the mutant's mindscape ,which was completely black unlike his, and it began showing Zane some images.
The Cross Species saw that he was at the party last night and human. They were partying hard with music, dancing, drugs, booze, and it ended up in a whole lot of sex. "Yep. I so didn't need to see that but I've stopped stuff like this before so it shouldn't bother me but it does. Yep I think it's official. My scars have scars." said Zane. He saw the mutant and several others teens being attacked by a plant monster before everything going dark.
Wolfram watched Zane fly out of him and deactivated the form, landing on the ground. Wolfram looked at Zane in concern with him saying,"I'm fine boy. I saw your typical teenager party and I got a theory. These four here are some of the teens that went missing. I'm going to guess that all of them were attacked by the overgrown weed with these being the lucky ones.". Wolfram looked confused as Zane sighed. "Just trust me okay? We got to go." said Zane.
Wolfram pointed to the four mutants as Zane said,"I'll turn them back later.". Zane grabbed Wolfram with him rushing off and following the trail. Running from the cornfield, Zane came to a stop as he was in front of a large silo and wooden outhouse. The zombie was tossing the dirt away from a hole that it was digging in the ground. Wolfram was back on the ground as he barked quietly in order for the zombie not seeing them. The hole was glowing a bright orange color.
The Cross Species turned into Fairy Form with Wolfram snickering at the sight of his master's current appearance and Zane smiled. "Ha ha. Keep laughing Wolfram and these adventures we have that are just between the two of us I'll be telling a certain canine about them.

I'm going to guess that all of them were attacked by the overgrown weed with these being the lucky ones.". Wolfram looked confused as Zane sighed. "Just trust me okay? We got to go." said Zane.
Wolfram pointed to the four mutants as Zane said,"I'll turn them back later.". Zane grabbed Wolfram with him rushing off and following the trail. Running from the cornfield, Zane came to a stop as he was in front of a large silo and wooden outhouse. The zombie was tossing the dirt away from a hole that it was digging in the ground. Wolfram was back on the ground as he barked quietly in order for the zombie not seeing them. The hole was glowing a bright orange color.
Zane whispered,"Yeah. I'm kinda shocked too since it's a zombie. Totally thought it would be a plant after what I just saw but to be fair, they both come from the ground. There is a more important question to be ask here Wolfram. Would a zombie try and get back into the ground? I mean they want to live and walk again.". Wolfram put his paw up to his face as Zane said,"Hey. Someone has to ask these kind of very stupid questions and that someone is me!".
The zombie was looking over three large and glowing orange crystals with all of them giving off a strong radioactive energy. All three of them were in the shape of a rhombus and seem to hypnotize the zombie. The zombie turned his head completely around with him glaring at the duo. "You're here. I really should have expected you to interfere but whatever." said the zombie. The zombie jumped out of the hole he made with him landing before them.
Zane looked right into the zombie's single eye with him saying,"Sorry but do I know you? I mean I think I would remember someone like you but I honestly don't. So how about you tell me why you're mining those crystals?". Crisis Judgement went off as Zane jumped back to evade vines that appeared from under him. Wolfram turned and saw two plant monsters ,with them both of them looking like the one who devour those teens, appear from the ground.
The zombie looked at them with him saying,"You two. Keep my favorite hero busy. I'll take care of his mutt.". He fired several orange Nether tendrils toward Wolfram with Wolfram dodging them and the dog smiled. He fought against Zane's tendrils before and knew how to defeat them. The zombie turned and made several tendrils work as a whip. The nearby wooden shed that was behind Wolfram was destroyed and this send the debris onto the ground around Wolfram.
Wolfram unleashed a white Nether blast from his mouth which the zombie easily dodged but this was a part of Wolfram's master plan. Wolfram charged toward the zombie with him delivering a powerful headbutt right into the zombie's stomach. This caused the undead creature to be stunned with Wolfram unleashed a powerful Nether explosion. This sent the zombie flying back with Wolfram taunting the Zombie and the zombie groaned as he charged toward the dog.
The two plant monsters were looking for Zane but they were pierced by several ice constructs of farming equipment. Upon contact with the ice, their body was frozen. Zane ,in Arctic Shift, stood there with him saying,"The Metamorphose may be a powerful Phantom sub-species but they can't handle the cold. Arctic Zenith Sphere.". Zane held a normal Zenith Sphere ,made of Liasada which is a molten gold color, and covered the sphere in the same ice that covered Zane's body.
He rushed toward the frozen plant duo with him slamming into them. It created a massive explosion of frost and flash freezes everything in the area except for Zane. "That is interesting. If I don't cast any spells using Liasada, it works the same as Animus. So how is Wolfram doing?" said Zane, standing there. Zane ,while deactivating Arctic Shift, turned toward Wolfram who was now in his humanoid wolf form and was dodging the zombie's attack.
The two plant monsters looked for Zane being that they were pierced with several ice constructs of trowels and garden forks. Upon contact with the ice weaponry, they froze the plants. Zane rushed out and he punched them, shattering them. Zane watched Wolfram dodging the zombie's strike and the dog turned into his humanoid wolf form. Wolfram landed a powerful kick right into the zombie's head, sending it clean off and into the nearby grain solo.
The zombie's body ran back to its owner and reattached its owner. The zombie jumped up to the top of the silo and looked for the two of them who had disappeared. Behind him, the duo of Wolfram and Zane ,in Werewolf Form, punched the zombie into the dirt ground below. The two wolves landed on the ground with the zombie slowly standing back up. "So I got to ask. How long does it take to end this guy?!" said Wolfram.
Zane looked at Wolfram with him saying,"A lot since zombie are kinda pain sponges. Well, Zombie Form is.". "You think you won against me? Ha. My plans are just beginning and with her help, I will be making my associate real happy after what you did to him almost four years ago." said the Zombie. Before Zane could say anything, the zombie made two orange Nether tendrils go around the wooden supports for the silo.
He pulled it toward him, breaking it apart and sent hurling toward the ground. Wolfram nodded to Zane as Zane released his ultrasonic howl. This howl protected Wolfram and Zane from the tower as it hit the ground, causing a massive dust and debris cloud. The zombie was gone with him leaving behind the destroyed wooden shed and silo. "So do you think we should inform the others about this? I mean the Metamorphose are really bad right?" said Wolfram.
Zane nodded as he said,"Yeah. They love the taste of human flesh and well, I think I know what happens to most of those teens. It's the reason why they live in a section of Terrarune where most Phantoms won't go in fear of becoming one of them.". "Do you think it's possible you can revive the teens?" said Wolfram. "Maybe but I'm not a hundred percent sure. We can try once we find out what that zombie was digging." said Zane.
Wolfram watched Zane go over to the smoking crater with dust and wooden debris on the floor. The crystal that they saw earlier was gone. "So I only got a look at it but do you think it is that?" said Wolfram as he turned back into his dog form. "Yeah it is what you think it is little buddy. Even when I'm on my vacation, I never seem to get a break." said Zane as he turned into Magus Form and flew back to the cornfield along where those tied up mutants were.
About thirty minutes later, the duo of Wolfram and Zane returned back to the Freedom Farm. Thanks to a Liasada enchanted Decree of Ophanim, Zane was able to revive all of the teens who were killed by the Metamorphose and the zombie. This did train him of a lot more Impulse than he expected. Zane also returned the mutants back to normal as well with all of the teens having a bit of amnesia. The two were in the sleeping area with the kids and the kids were asleep.
Zane ,back to normal, went in the singular single bed that was there since he doesn't do bunk beds and Wolfram snuggled up next to him. The dog bark quietly with Zane said,"Sorry about keeping you all night but we need to make sure that those teens didn't activate their metagene.". Wolfram barked as Zane chuckled. "Yeah. The drugs and alcohol will destroy them but not for a while now. So get some rest little guy. You did good." said Zane.
Wolfram shut his eyes as Zane smiled. He turned to see Liv sneaking into the room and he sent his message to Liv who turned to him by telepathic,"Don't wake him Liv or else, you'll get a very mad Phantom.". "Oh I know Zane. I have my victim." thought Liv, pointing to Zoey. "Okay then go nuts Liv." thought Zane. Liv went up to Zoey's bunk and she turned on the light. "Rise and shine sleepy heads!" said Liv as Zoey fell out of bed, groaning on the floor.
She took her pillow with her as she covered her face with the pillow and screamed into it with all of the breath in her lungs. Atem ,who slept in a bunk bed across from his sister, groaned with him saying,"It's morning already then.". Uriel was on the bed below her. Wolfram was still asleep with him being a heavy sleeper and wouldn't be woken up for a good while. "Wow Liv. You've gone soft. I remember when you woke me and my brothers up at 3." said Zane.
Zoey looked at her dad with him saying,"I'm not joking Zoey and lets just say that your Uncle Lucius wasn't happy about having his beauty sleep taken from him. You're lucky. She decided to wake you guys up at 5 in the morning.". "Those cows aren't going to milk themselves." said Liv. "They could but you're happy to went bed early right Zoey?" said Uriel. "Not really. I like sleeping." said Zoey. "And I'm going to try my best not to eat said cow." said Uriel with her mouth drooling.
About ten minutes later and in the wooden barn. Marco was showing the others ,except Wolfram, how to milk the cow by using a bucket and gently pulling on the animal's large udders. "Just squeeze and pull. Squeeze and pull." said Marco. "Still can't believe that the one who caused the monarchy of the Craydan kingdom and several other crimes is milking a cow. How far you've fallen to the light. Don't even see an ounce of darkness on you anymore." said Zane.
Marco rolled his eyes as he said and glared at Zane,"Shut up Zane. You know that I'll kick your ass in front of your kids right?". "Bring it on your highness. Just wash your hands first." said Zane. "So don't they have machines for this kind of stuff? I know that it's a thing." said Zoey. "Liv hates them since she has met more bad machines than good machines. She likes Athena and Cole though." said Marco. "Is there something else we can do?" said Uriel. "Well, the manure needs shoveled." said Marco.
The trio looked at the massive pile of cow feces with flies hovering around it and a shovel implanted into the pile. The girl's face turned green with Atem saying,"I think we'll do the milking instead. Right you two?". "Yep!" said Uriel and Zoey. Marco left the barn with Zoey turned toward her father. "So what are you thinking sis?" said Uriel. "Asking dad for some help. This is going to take forever unless we get some help." said Zoey. "She has a point." said Zane.
Atem shook his head as he said,"I really think you should try to be more strict with us and have us learn the meaning of hard work.". "He tries but he can't say no to the fairer sex." said Zoey. "Ain't that the truth? So which forms are you going to use? We got a lot of work to do. I have a couple of ideas. If I do this, you need to talk with Liv Zoey. That's my only rule." said Zane. "Fine. I will if I get out of this before I go insane and go evil on you." said Zoey.
Zane smirked as he said,"That works for me.". "Thank the gods you decided to do this Zoey. This would have took forever if you said no." said Atem. Zane transformed after Atem said that and due to Zane's help, the group finished their tasks. As the sun set on the horizon, Wolfram ,currently in his wolf form, was carrying Zane on his back as the Alvarez family were heading back to the farm. "So is this normal for farms or what daddy?" said Uriel.
The Cross Species shrugged as he said,"Honestly, I think this is the slow season. Farming is very boring to us city folks but it keeps you busy that's for sure. I mean the most excited thing is the evil plants and zombie attacking alongside orange lightning.". "Did you say orange lightning?" said Atem as Uriel looked at her brother in confusion. "I did. Nice job picking up on that." said Zane. "We'll tlk about that later. So do you think Zoey is going to be okay with Liv?" said Atem.
Uriel looked at Atem and Zane as she said,"I hope so since daddy told her to go talk with Liv or you were going to make her do all of the chores by herself and without her powers.". "Yeah but Liv can be kinda noisy and in your face when she can see that you're dealing with something that's holding you back from your full potential. Anyway, me and Wolfram have something to tell you kids since we're free for the night." said Zane.
The young Vulcorian smiled as she said,"And what is it daddy? Is that you're finally getting me a pony?". "No. You have Buzz. Let me tell you two a story of an old but powerful substance in Terrarune known as Reilurite." said Zane. Back in the main house, Zoey looked around the room and Liv said with a smile,"So you do know that you need to talk to me if you want to leave right?". "Yeah but what's there to talk about? I kissed a girl." said Zoey.
Liv nodded as she said,"Yes but that was your first kiss Zoey. That's a really big deal and the fact that you kissed someone of the same gender as you.". "I guess it does but I thought I would be like my dad in terms of falling in love. I would fall in love with several guys throughout my eyes and have my heart broken as they grew up around me. I'm not going to die anytime soon but then I kissed her in front of everyone! Oh god. What was I thinking?!" said Zoey.
She covered her face with her hands as Liv sighed and she said,"Zoey. You know there is nothing wrong with that right?'. "Yeah but ugh! I thought me and dad only shared appearance and tastes not sexual preferences. I mean I like guys." said Zoey. "Do you though? Zoey. I know that having your peers judging you is hard but you can't let them control your life." said Liv. "Yeah but I'm not my dad despite being cloned from him. We're two different people and I'm not like my siblings." said Zoey.
Zoey sighed as she said,"Atem's really smart, Uriel is the nicest girl I've ever met, and then we have little old me. I was born out of a test tube and was created to give the woman who loves my grandma too much a child with her. She could have found an alternative ,hopefully male, dimension version of grandma instead.". "So do you hate been born the way you were?" said Liv. "A little bit but then I wouldn't have met my amazing family." said Zoey.
Liv nodded as she said,"So do you blame yourself for what happened that day?". "A little bit since I could have helped him but I didn't and look what happened." said Zoey. "You're really just like your father. You two really are the same but you're cuter. Don't worry. You and your father may have similar DNA but the both of you are different in many ways. One way is how you handle your problems. You bottled it up like he does but you're willing to move on. Zane isn't." said Liv.
Zoey agreed with her on that. "Zane can be stubborn like a mule. When that happened, I had Marco, Nate, Shawn, and your uncles take Zane away from the hospital since it let him fester in a great deal of negative emotions. He doesn't talk about that does he?" said Liv. "He keeps pretending that he's fine but it's obvious that he isn't. Why can't he move on and how have I?" said Zoey. "You are willing to talk with me about your issues without using a truth serum which does exist." said Liv.
Liv sighed as she said,"Zane wasn't since it require the serum along with me forcing him to stay here for over three months before he began talking and I was lucky to get him out of that hospital. Rachel and your grandmother were determined to keep him safe. I don't blame him at all but you know how stubborn he can be and letting him focus .". Zoey knew that she was right about that statement. "So do you want to talk about the girl you kissed? Are you still talking to her?" said Liv.
Zoey looked at her as she said,"I tried Liv but she's been ignoring me. I think she hates me since I humiliated her in public. So can I go now? You told me that I only had to stay here until I talk you. I think me and my dad have a mission together with my siblings.". "Yes. We'll talk after your mission with your dad. I know how much he treasures spending time with all of you." said Liv. Zoey ran out of the room as Liv smiled.
Later, the Alvarez family was in front of where the mutated teens were cured earlier. Zane held out his phone and he sighed. "It seems that installing a geiger counter into my phone wasn't a bad idea after all huh. We got a bigger problem here." said Zane. "And how is fighting mutated teens, plant monsters, and a zombie not the start of one?" said Zoey. "Which I'm jealous of by the way. I mean Wolfram got to fight a zombie. Do you think I could fight a vampire?" said Uriel, pouting.
Wolfram tried to comfort her as Zane said,"Don't worry Cotton Candy. At the rate, we're going to be fighting one if we ever visit Europe but not for a while. This energy that the mutants consisted of was human DNA combining with Reilurite.". "You mentioned that at the farm. What is it dad?" said Atem with him getting curious about the old but powerful substance from Terrarune. "It's a unique material that isn't found on Earth but Terrarune." said Zane.
He looked around as he said,"My best guess is that a meteor of the stuff came here from Terrarune about a thousand years ago and it scattered everywhere.". The mummy, girls, and Phantom looked at Zane with him shrugging. "I could be wrong about that since I'm not a archaeologist or geologist after all. It's just an educated guess after all." said Zane. "So why is the zombie be a rock collector and using those plant monsters? They're really ugly from you told us earlier." said Zoey.
Zane shook his head as he said,"While I agree with you on how ugly the Metamorphose are, that isn't the case. Reilurite is a powerful energy source that's impossible to predict similar to magic. It has the tendency to mutate most species and normal humans are highly susceptible to it. They're warped beyond recognition and they're rather hostile toward others. The mutation is temporary but well, it can become permanent if they're around the mineral for a long period of time.".
Uriel looked at her dad as she said,"So if this zombie and his plant minions get this stuff.". "We could be dealing with a lot of mutated monsters." said Zane. "We have to stop him!" said Atem. Wolfram barked as Uriel said,"So are you currently tracking the mineral?". "I am Uriel. Way to know me so well. So follow me to the Vindicator. We're going on a zombie hunt." said Zane with a smile much to the children's joy.
In the Vindicator, it was a bright and clear evening. As Zane was driving toward its location with Atem in the passenger seat, the girls and Wolfram sat at the dinette. "So do you know anything else about the Reilurite dad?" said Zoey. "Lets just say that it was used as a power source for Phantoms before they decided to use a more predictable material." said Zane. "Was there a lot of explosions?" said Uriel as Wolfram barked. "Yeah. Spiro Nightmare told me about the material and how deadly it is." said Zane.
The Vindicator came to a stop as Atem said,"So according to your scanner, there is a good amount of Reilurite.". Looking outside of the window, Uriel and Wolfram noticed a large industrial factory that had a large sign on the top saying,"Traverse Ice Cream Factory". "Why would he attack this place?! I mean it makes the best ice cream!" said Uriel with Wolfram nodding. "Because he's a bad guy and only bad guys hate ice creams obviously." said Zoey.
Zane sighed as he said,"You're not wrong Zoey but how about we stop the zombie from digging up the Reilurtie from corrupting people and prevent your precious ice cream from being destroyed.". The group left the RV with them slowly walking toward the factory. Zane noticed Sheriff Wade Hardy with him asleep at his post. It had an old TV blaring static out with his head facing the wall of the booth and snoring loudly.
The Cross Species rolled his eyes as he motioned the girls, mummy, and dog to follow him. They went across the empty parking lot of the factory before opening the door and were inside of the lobby. The factory was quiet except for the footsteps of the group as Zane led the way down a staircase using a ball of light and his phone was out. Without warning, Zane's phone began beeping loudly and Wolfram was covering his ears due to the sound.
Overlooking a balcony, Zane looked down as he said,"If it isn't obvious enough, there is a large chunk of Reilurite down there and buried the concrete. Go into your costume or the Synthetic Tactical Armor I gave you. Me and Wolfram should be fine.". "Hold on. Wouldn't you be mutated?" said Zoey as she turned into Lodestar. "And will Wolfram be okay daddy?" said Uriel, holding onto Wolfram and in her costume.
Zane looked at her as he said,"Wolfram will be fine since Reilurite doesn't affect Phantoms. I'm a Cross Species of Phantom and several other species so it shouldn't affect it. If it does cause a mutation, my watch will turn me into a form that can resist it. I rather not become a mutant. Rae would kill me if I came back home mutated or you guys mutated.". "Then what about Zoey? She's a Phantom." said Atem. "That's why I had her go into her costume." said Zane. "Ah." said Atem.
Before Zane could get too far, he turned into Comet Form. "So I guess it does effect me where there is a high amount of it. This is a learning experience." said Zane. Uriel looked at the ground with her saying,"So do you want me to dig it out?". Wolfram barked with Atem saying,"Uriel. If we do, I think we would be doing their job for them.". Uriel nodded as the lights in the factory flicked on and off. "I think it's fighting time and I've been itching to punch something for a while now!" said Zoey.
Her hands were glowing green Nether. The group went down there thanks to a flight of nearby stairs and saw the zombie with four Metamorphose, the bug man, and a woman. She looked to be a normal looking woman with long and straight glowing orange hair. It covered her face with her wearing a plain, tattered wedding gown. Her body is covered in mouths with all of them having a mangled mess of teeth.
She threw her hair back, revealing her lack of eyes and giant mouth that looked deranged. Her nails are long and in the shape of sharp looking blades. "Look who it is. Zero, his dog, and kids. Kill them and take the Reilurite." said the zombie. The female rushed toward them but she was stopped as rainbow energy spikes pierced her in the chest and face. "That looked painful. I'm real sorry about that not." said Zane.
The woman roared as she pulled herself out of the spikes, revealing the gaping holes in her and these holes slowly regenerated. She charged toward Zane with her punching Zane. This sent Zane flying back into a nearby generator. This send smoke and dust into the air with the woman going after him as she wanted to kill Zero. Zoey saw one of the Metamorphose heading right toward the Reilurite being that she blasted it away.
Uriel and Wolfram followed suit as the trio of Uriel, Wolfram, and Zoey kept the plant like Phantoms occupied. Atem watched the bug man and zombie standing there with the zombie charging toward the Reilurite. Atem stretched his left arm around the zombie's neck and he was planning on cutting out its air supply. "I hope this work. Even though it may look like a zombie, it was using Nether according to dad so it must be a Phantom." thought Atem.
The zombie looked at the bug man with him saying,"Instead of doing nothing, how about you help me get him off Ralad?". "Fine." said Ralad. He aimed his left hand at Atem with him releasing a wave of moths and they began eating Atem's arm. The mummy let go off the zombie's neck and he groaned in pain. He was then punched by the zombie and was caught by a rainbow energy baseball glove that came from Zane who trapped the woman in a maze of energy. "He has the rock!" said Uriel.
Zane nodded as the zombie punched the ground, breaking it open and there were some Reilurite there with them looking like what was by the farm earlier but bigger. "You handle the woman son. I'll get the zombie who I know is an old friend of mine." said Zane. He turned into Quantum Form and charged right at the zombie, tackling him into a freezer. "How about you return those rocks you stole and maybe, I will go easy on you my dear friend Jester the clown!" said Zane.
Uriel ,who punched back a Metamorphose, looked at Zane with her saying,"Jester? Where have I heard that name before?". Wolfram barked as Zoey nodded. "He was from a story dad told us. They fought against him six years ago." said Zoey. The zombie stumbled outwards with him saying,"Yep. I've changed as you can see and made some new friends such as the Weed Wacker that your son is fighting your highness.".
Weed Wacker ,aka the female with the multiple mouths, was fighting against Atem who kicked her into a generator. "Oh wow. He's strong." said Ralad. "Yeah. My son is strong enough to handle her even though she's strong and faster than normal Phantoms. So who is the bug man?" said Zane. "You fought his brother and he wants revenge." said Jester. "I did?" said Zane, looking confused. "He gave himself the clever nickname Bug Rapture." said Ralad.
Zane blinked with him saying,"Oh right! That guy. I thought he died.". "Maybe he did. I'm here to make you pay for that but I'm against you mutated these innocent terrans and your boss is someone I rather not ruling anything or anyone." said Ralad. "Huh. This is the most I've heard you talk but are you working against me?" said Jester. Ralad nodded as Jester sighed. He opened up his chest and this revealed three pieces of Reilurite inside of him.
He placed the bigger piece inside of him and he smiled. "Everyone! Keep your distance from him you guys! He's planning on exposing us to the mineral and turn him into his minions." said Zane. He made several rows of cosmic energy wall constructs. Jester smiled as he cocked back his fist and fired a beam of orange Nether. It smashed through most of the walls and Jester was about to charge toward Zoey who was blocked a Metamorphose's vines.
She did this by burning it away with green Nether which was mimicking fire. Jester was stopped by several cockroaches grabbing onto him. "So you're helping me? Even though, I may have killed your brother." said Zane. "It's fine. Like a cockroach, he's too stubborn to die." said Ralad. "Let me go right now!" said Jester, firing orange Nether from his eyes. This destroyed some of the cockroaches holding him but the bugs regenerated.
A door above them opened and Wade stood there yawning. He saw the fight with him instantly waking up seeing them. "Hey! What's going on here? Is that K-9, Lodestar, Osiris, and Zero?! I'm a huge fan of all of you!" said Wade. "No! Get out here!" said Uriel. Before he could listen to her, a Metamorphose grabbed him and threw him toward Jester and the exposed Reilurite. The cockroaches would have blocked it but if they got close to it, they were killed.
Wade began screaming with his jaw snapping open and grew bigger. His teeth grew to a sharp length with his eyes glowing orange. His skin turned black with it having glowing orange lines covering his body. Unlike the four teens from earlier, he didn't have plant like frills growing out of their backs. He had giant bone like spikes instead. His arms and legs grew longer with his fingers and toes turning into claws. His clothing was ripped due to his mutations.
Uriel gulped loudly as she said,"And now, we have serious trouble.". "If you wouldn't mind, I need you to get rid of the bug man." said Jester as the creature hissed. He charged toward Ralad who jumped back and began sending waves of insects at him. Zane looked at his two daughters who were fighting off the Metamorphoses with his son and dog fighting Weed Wacker. "Okay then. Time to bring out that." said Zane.
He flew around the room with him placing a device on the four within seconds. Before they could say anything, they were covered in an invisible ,paper thin, membrane of steel gray energy that coming from a black box. "This is one of my companies's inventions. The Revitalizer Suits will protect you from the radiation since having a mutated dog, daughters, and son would get me in a lot of trouble in the PTA." said Zane. "What about you dad and that guy?" said Zoey.
She pointed to Ralad who dodged the mutant's strike. "He and I will be fine. If I stay in the form, I will be fine. If I need to leave a form, I'm sure Omni Mode can protect me if I needed...." said Zane. He was grabbed by several orange tendrils as Jester threw Zane deeper into the factory and flew after him, leaving behind his minions to handle the others. His minions considered of the mutated sheriff, three Metamorphoses since one died earlier, and Weed Wacker.
The mutated sheriff decided to stop fighting Ralad who kept him away using a variety of insects and he charged at Uriel with his hands turned into blades being that she dodged the attack. Before Wade could try and strike him again, he was held back by bandages. Uriel turned to see Atem's right arm stretched around Wade. "Thanks big bro!" said Uriel. "You're welcome. Now stay back." said Atem as he tossed Wade.
Wade began bouncing around the room and knocking things onto the ground. He eventually crashed into the ground with him groaning. He slowly stood back up with him looking up to see a dark pink Mojo anvil above him and it crushed him. "That looked painful. Should I have done that?" said Uriel as she turned to her brother and Ralad. "I think he'll be fine. Just to make sure." said Atem as he picked up the unconscious mutant.
He placed him on a nearby conveyor belt with Ralad walking over to it. "So do you know what you're doing right?" said Uriel. Ralad nodded as he pressed some buttons on the conveyor belt. The belt then activate as the mutant sheriff was dragged in and wrapped in thick packing foam. Uriel smiled as she said,"So should we go help sis and Wolfram?". "Sure but I'm helping Zero." said Ralad who was gone in a burst of wasps. "That's just weird right?" said Atem. "Yeah." said Uriel.
A large explosion went off as Wolfram dodged Weed Wacker's clawed hand. The Phantom dog opened his mouth and fired a large white Nether blast. This sent her flying and crashing into some boxes. The female couldn't do anything to counter her due to her hearing a bark coming from a second dog rather than the one she had been fighting for a while. She turned to see Tessa and was about to slice her but was stopped by a foot to the face.
Wolfram ,in his werewolf form, stood there with him holding Tessa. "So why are you here exactly misss?" said Wolfram. Tessa barked as Wolfram nodded his head and ran over to where the kids were fighting. With Zoey, she was handling all three Metamorphoses at the same time but one of them was grabbed by Atem's bandages from below it and a dark pink Mojo dog construct appeared, biting the side of the plant.
Zoey looked at her siblings with her saying,"K-9! Osiris! Lets finish them off!". The two nodded as Atem tossed his Metamorphose into the other two. Uriel and Zoey charged up with them blasting the three plants away and turned them into dust using a mixture of green Nether and dark pink Mojo. "So they aren't dead right?" said Uriel. "Nope. When Phantom disappear, they go back to Terrarune to heal. That's what master told me." said a voice.
Atem turned to see Wolfram ,in his werewolf form, holding Tessa and he nodded. "So who is your new friend?" said Zoey. "Her name is...." said Wolfram. Tessa barked, "Ah. Her name is Tessa and she came here to help me and Zane who saved her last night. Is that right miss?" said Wolfram. Tessa nodded as she nuzzled her savior. Wolfram smiled as he turned to the two girls who were smiling at him with Atem sighing. "What? Do I have something on my face?" said Wolfram.
Uriel shook her head for no as she said,"Nothing! It's a secret!". "I guess me and dad aren't the only identical pair in the family when it comes to girls." said Zoey, earning Wolfram's confusion. "Yeah I think it's just a family thing." said Atem. Before they could continued their conversation, there was an explosion, Zane dodged Jester's orange Nether blasts and firing back dark green energy. Before the two could continued, Ralad came in and kicked Jester in the head.
This clearly knocked it off, hanging on by a thread. "Nice kick there bug man." said Zane. "Thanks but I don't think he's done just yet." said Ralad. Jester attached his head with him firing several orange Nether blasts at them. The two dodged his attack by hiding behind an industrial machine. "You will not stop me from completing my master's demand!" said Jester. "So do you happen to know who the master is?" said Zane.
Ralad shrugged as he said,"Unknown but he hates you a lot. I hated you for hurting my older brother but then as I was observing you, I saw that you're a good man.". "Well thanks. That only eliminate maybe two beings maybe. I got a lot of beings who hate me and how were you observing me exactly?" said Zane. Ralad didn't answer him as he grabbed by orange tendrils and tossed away. Jester stood there with him saying,"There is nowhere for you to run Zane. Prepare to...".
Jester didn't get to finish his sentence as he was sent flying into a pair of refrigerators thanks to a green and dark pink energy beam. Zane looked up to see Uriel and Zoey standing there. "Thanks for the assist you two. So where is your brother and my dog?" said Zane. "Getting ready to do what you did to Kevin a few years ago for a fundraiser." said Zoey. "Ah. good plan." said Zane. He was tossed a hose by Atem.
The mummy stood by a control panel with Tessa and Wolfram ,in his dog form, by his side. "Care to do the honors dad?" said Atem. "You got it. Time for you to chill out!" said Zane as he flicked the trigger on the hose. This send liquid nitrogen out of the hose and it blasted Jester. It slammed him into a processing machine and froze him solid. He was unable to move as he was shredded to pieces by a large metallic fan. "And that's how we do it Sierra!" said Zane.
Zane ,deactivating Quantum Form, heard Sierra's voice,"Don't forget that Danny, Heidi, and Roxy aren't your only partners.". Uriel and Zoey looked at their dad concerned since Sierra wasn't there. "Um dad. She isn't...." said Zoey as Atem covered her mouth. "Don't say anything." mouthed Atem as Wolfram looked sad. "Oh right. She isn't here. Actually none of them are." said Zane as he clenched his left fist and covered his left eye with his right hand.
Crisis Judgement went off as Zane's right leg was grabbed by several Orange Nether tendrils and pinned him to the ground much to the trio and dogs's shock. "I really hate my luck sometimes." said Zane as he sighed. Jester came out of the processor and he said as his body reforming with it covering the Reilurite,"I can't die Zane! Nothing can kill me now!". "Oh really? Want to tease that theory of yours?" said Zane.
Jester roared and was about to smash Zane into the ground but was stopped by several cockroaches once again. "Gods damn it!" said Jester as Ralad stood there with his arms crossed. "So do you mind taking him out already?" said Ralad. Zane nodded as he turned into Magus Form. He turned into a shadow and slipped out of the zombie's tendril. Zane cocked his fist and punched Jester in the face hard.
Zane's punch broke his nose with him saying,"I think it's time to cool you permanently. Taste the eternal frost of Hell itself!". The last part of this sentence was in Liasada as the cockroaches moved away from Jester. The Phantom didn't get a chance to move as his body was slowly freezing up and he was a popsicle within seconds. "So I hope you chill out Jester." said Zane. "Seriously? You made that pun already." said Atem.
Wolfram barked as Atem said,"I know that Zane can only make ice puns but my problem is that he made the exact same pun.". Tessa looked confused as Uriel said,"You'll get used to it. So what should we do about the zombie, the Reilurite, and the mutant? Plus is it okay to leave our costume on?". "Let me tell you what we need to do." said Zane as he explained his plan to the group. About ten minutes later, Jester ,still in his frozen prison, was being sent to Terrarune.
Ralad had left a bit earlier to make sure that the Reiulurite was buried since he was immune to its radiation. Zane ,who was out of Magus Form, smiled at Jester. "So I think you earned a express trip to Terrarune and I told Dyno about your little plan. He just loves Phantoms who cause trouble here on Earth and with me." said Zane as Jester glared at him. The hero kicked the ice sculpture into a portal and the portal closed up behind as he turned to the rest of the group.
They were out of costumes and Tessa joined them. "So while I'm happy about us winning, what about the officer and can we trust Ralad? I mean he tried to kill you." said Zoey. "So does Uncle Malik and we like him." said Uriel. "Malik is another case." said Atem. "Don't worry. He seems trustworthy and brief exposure to Reilurite is fine. He'll be back to normal very soon and we should put him back up in his booth. Let him think that this was just a nasty dream." said Zane.
Atem nodded as he said,"You think of everything don't you dad?". "It comes with the job since you need to plan for every outcome." said Zane. Tessa looked at Wolfram with Wolfram barking. "Tessa want to show me something? Okay. I'll meet you kids later at the Vindicator after I help these two dogs on their little date. Plus put the sheriff back for me." said Zane. Tessa and Wolfram were grabbed by Zane as they were gone within seconds. "Wow. Dad is real fast." said Zoey as she blinked.
Uriel nodded as she said,"Yep. So how are you feeling Zoey? I hope better.". The three were walking back to the Vindicator after putting Wade who turned back to normal back in his booth. "Better but I'll probably stay with here with Liv. I need to talk with dad about something in private." said Zoey. "Okay then. Remember that we're here for you." said Atem as he hugged his younger sister and Uriel joined in on the hug. "You got it." said Zoey as Uriel was happy to have her sister back.
Zane stopped in a nearby field with him dropping the two dogs. "So where are we exactly? Is this where your owner live?" said Zane. Tessa shook her head as she ran to a location and Wolfram followed after her like a love sick puppy. "And I'll guess I'll follow you two then. I'm a third wheel on a date involving dogs. How fair, I've fallen." said Zane, putting his arms behind his head and went after the dogs.
He found the two dogs digging something up as he said,"Please tell me that there isn't more Reilurite here.". Tessa barked as Zane said,"It's isn't weird at all how I can understand you girl. So Lester isn't your owner but just a friend of yours then.". Wolfram barked as Zane said,"That may be the case, stand back you two okay?". The dogs went back as Zane turned into Swamp Form and placed his hands on the ground, planting his fingers into the ground.
The dogs felt the ground shake as the spot that the two were digging at earlier began to open up thanks to several plant like vines coming out of it, forming a vine cage. Tessa barked as Zane said,"So it's in there. You think it's like Reilurite. Okay, I'll open but just in case....". Wolfram turned into his wolf form and protected Tessa just in case it was Reilurite. He really didn't want his new friend to get mutated whatsoever.
Zane nodded as the plant cage opened up, revealing something as it came out and was going to hit the ground. It was stopped by Zane growing a plant under it and Wolfram barked. "Thanks Wolfram so what is this? And how long have you know about it Tessa? I'm not integrating you Tessa. This isn't a normal rock and this is coming from the guy who knows jack about rocks of any kind from Earth or the Omniverse." said Zane.
Zane took a good look at the object that feel out and it's clearly a rock. It's an aqua blue gemstone being in the shape of a diamond and tear drop hybrid. It has a magenta rim and line going through the middle of it. It didn't look cracked from what Zane could tell and he knew that he had to examine it closer. He touched it being that it glowed emerald green. Tessa and Wolfram looked at Zane with him saying,"I didn't mean to do it but I don't regret doing it since I don't know what I did.".
The gem floated in the air with Zane covering his hands in fire and got ready to fight. Tessa and Wolfram covered their eyes due to the light being blinding and Zane could handle pretty intense lights. The light was gone as Wolfram saw a female standing there in the place of that gem which disappeared. She looks to be a young woman ,around Zane's age, and 5 foot 8. She has a slender, thin build with a curvy figure being that she would gets people’s attention.
She has wide hips, a small waist, and a round chest. She has regular peach colored skin with magenta hair ,going up to her chin, with long bangs that slightly cover her royal blue eyes. This is due to her headband that she always wears. She has barely visible freckles sprinkled over her collarbone and cheeks. She has a piercing in her nose being that it’s lime green and it’s in the same shape as her stasis form. She wears a aqua blue headband tied around her head.
She wears a maroon, leather jacket over her top. She wears a backless, halter crop v-neck tank top which is aqua blue on the top and white on the bottom. It shows off her lean, toned midriff and black bra. It’s tied into a gold sash like ribbon on the back of her shoulders. She wears black worn-out pants that have gem-shaped knee pads. She wears brown high heeled sandals. The female looked around her as she said,"I'm free? I'm free!".
Zane turned to Wolfram who shrugged. "You! Thank you!" said the woman. She hugged Zane with the plant humanoid blushing upon contact with her. He deactivated the form as he returned the hug. Zane looked at Wolfram with the dog throwing Zane a thumbs up. Zane rolled his eyes at the dog's action as the woman saying,"Say. Do you happen to know someone by the name of....". She looked to see that the plant was gone being that a male in her place.
She let Zane gone with her saying,"I'm sorry! You just remind me of my only friend in the entire Omniverse but I have no idea if he's still alive or not.......". Zane was tuning her with him not minding the hug. He was used to getting hugged by women. It remind Zane of the good old days back in Cypress Park. "I'll be leaving now!" said the woman. She was going to move but she fell onto the ground.
Zane looked at her as he said,"You okay?". "No. I made a complete fool of myself in front of a freaking human. You may have been around for not too long but looking stupid is so ugh! I spend too long in my stasis form!" said the woman, her voice buried by the ground. "I know this may sound forward but how about you come with me and my dogs?" said Zane. Tessa barked as Zane said,"I know what that sounds like so shush or you're not coming with me.".
The woman said,"Really? You mean it human?". "Yes. I always hold out a hand for someone who needs help. Got a strong hero complex after all but my name isn't human. I'm only 25% human so I would be a Cross Species. Just call me Zane. Your name is what. I don't think I should call you or some other hurtful name like that." said Zane, holding his hand. The woman pushed herself back up as she said,"It's Lynx. Nice to meet you Zane.".
Next Time,
Who is Lynx? Why was she buried in the ground? Are Tessa and Wolfram going to be more than friends? What was Jester going to do with the Reilurite? Who is Jester working for? Who is Ralda? Will Zane discover more about his Magnus heritage? What were him and Marco talking about? What is he really doing in Traverse Groves? Was it to help Zoey with the assistance of Liv or was it something more? Why did he imagine Nova being there with him and hearing Sierra? This and more next time on Zero!
