Zero Episode 134 Mummy in Space (Full Post)

A/N: I really hope that it doesn't take me another month to write two posts but I could be horribly about that. It consisted of Zero Episode 133 and the notes for it but I decided to have the great idea of Zero Episode 132.5 which is meant to be graphic. I did that on purpose to show the power of Astral Form and the Eazairvian as a whole. I went into great detail in the last Author Notes so I won't be repeated myself on this.

I should mention that this is the last episode of the roadtrip arc. We'll see what Avalon has being doing since Episode 128 despite being introduced in Zero Episode 110. Fairy Legion will be coming back I swear to the gods on this. I mean the Fairy Tail Anime is over for now. I mean have you see the spinoff manga? It actually does some good thing that the original did like I don't know. Like reminding the readers of the fact that other characters than Team Natsu existed.

There is also the fact that Mira is an S Class wizard plus it makes me hate Jellal so yeah. The latter of which isn't hard but still. I'll go into more detail once I get back to Fairy Legion. Expect long author notes for for those chapters due to my long than normal break because my opinions of Wano have changed and kinda the worse in my opinion. We'll be talking about some minor stuff I didn't include in the info dump. 

You may be wondering what that could be and well, it's some pretty minor stuff. This includes a couple of minor stuff such as how Zane's headset ,from last episode, is able to talk with people and project his voice outwards due to its ability to connect to his phone or anything with bluetooth. See? This is pretty minor and totally useless knowledge. It's more like something that I mentioned but I just wanted to make sure that was totally apparent.

Some other stuff I decided to mentioned is that Zane's phone has great internet access with clear reception anywhere on Earth, unlimited data and power, and can hack sophisticated systems due to Jaime ,whenever she isn't working for Zenith Industries as the true CEO of the company since Zane is more of the face of the company while doing some work for it, running the program if she feels like Zane could use the information. Athena and Cole do this too but they're built for the Z.E.R.O. Watch.

Speaking of which, the Z.E.R.O. Watch got some minor patch updates to it being that it can spontaneously warp Zane and others vast distance being that the only thing that’s require is an exact location. It can also control all of his inventions. It'll be in the Z.E.R.O. Watch bio and some other stuff in Zane's Abilities, Powers, Weapons, and Others. (3-16-2019) Heavy Spoilers for Zero shortly after this episode comes out.

Some other stuff I'll be mentioned is some tools and gadgets that Zane has on its person now but that will be featured in the bottom of the post in a similar fashion to Zenith Industries Invention Reel from previous part. The main thing I was going to be featuring Zane's prosthetic eye and it's full detail but it will be at the end of the post. I should also mention that this episode will be long just like the last two because why not?

I can also promised that it won't take as long as those two since I had to come up with notes for them and do a lot of work. This episode did have some work into it but less those two by a lot. Finally thing I should mention is that Team Legion Zero will be returned in this episode since this episode takes place back in Cypress Park and the obvious outer space. I mean the title gives away what's happen so lets begin.

Narrator P.O.V.
Back at the Traverse Ice Cream Factory which is where the Reilurite had been buried, it was a calm and peaceful evening. In the security booth, Sheriff Wade Hardy was asleep at his post and was snoring loudly. He had been forced to watch over this place by those super powered brats because they heard a rumor about Dr. Progeny planning on stealing from the factory. You may wonder why he would want to rob an ice cream factory and the answer is simple. 

He wanting some ice cream and without paying for it. The monster. The sheriff had a pile of donuts and coffee nearby him. The alarm for the booth went off as Wade sat fully awake at this point and fell out of his chair. "Who the hell?! Son of a bitch." grumble Wade. He grabbed his flashlight, turned it on and walked inside the factory. He began shining the light through the darkness of the somewhat creepy factory with him loudly sighing. 

Wade groaned as he said,"Probably those teens want some samples or maybe it's that monkey. Heh. I never get to see anything interesting around here.". After saying that, he heard something. It sounded like something being scratched and the alarm stopping abruptly. "Oh thank god." thought Wade. He was both scared for whatever or whoever destroyed the alarm and thankful that the really annoying alarm was destroyed. 

A growl went off behind Wade with Wade saying,"Who's there?!". Through out the factory,  there was a noticeable sound of claws on metal. It's like nails on a chalkboard but slightly better than the sound of the alarm. In another part of the factory, a foot landed on the ground and emerging from the shadows was a familiar face on all fours. It was Blackjack ,from Zero Episode 130, and he broke an emergency hatch door

He was sniffing out a scent he was given earlier. Blackjack went down the stairs and found himself in the same area where Jester fought against Legion Zero and sniffing at the ground. He smiled as he began swiping at the ground with his powerful claws and destroying the cement. He held a giant block of cement that was somehow in the shape of a coffin. Blackjack stood back with him unleashing a fiery howl that destroyed the cement block. 

Wade heard this as he saw the rampage the werewolf left in his wake. Blackjack smiled as several pieces of Reilurite fell onto the ground. "So did you collect what you needed flea machine?" said a voice. Blackjack turned to see the man who decided to help Avalon with their plan and how he was a villain for hire. Think the Heroes from Hire ,from Marvel, but evil. He's also like hired help but with super powers. His name is Brood. He looked to be twenty two years old and 6 foot 4. 

He wears a silver metal helmet covered with dark transparent glass, hiding his face from view. There is a marking on his helmet with it being a blue flaming skull and this skull has piercing gold eye like marking in each of the skull's eye sockets. He wears a black sleeveless cloak over his body with him wearing a black and silver organic-looking bodysuit. Its material is similar to muscle tissue.  The black changes to a silver color around the ankles and wrists. 

Brood is wearing a large gray metal armor over his bodysuit in the armor of a chest piece, knee guards, and pauldrons. All of his pieces of armor have blame flame like markings etched into it and constantly glowing. There is a gold diamond shape in the center of his chest plate. He has a gray haramaki around his waist and his haramaki has gold chains wrapped into it. He's wearing black leather pants and silver, knee high combat boots with gold studs on them. 

He wears thick gold gauntlets around his arms which have a sliver skeletal motif with blue flame like structures lacing it. "Yes it will. Mr boss's master plan will finally happen and I'll get my revenge on him plus those brats of his." said Blackjack. Before the two could say anything or do anything else, a flashlight shined upon them. "Okay kids. Meal's time over." said Wade with him seeing the two villains looking at him. "What the...." said Wade.

Brood appeared in front of him and he smiled under his mask. "Time for you to fly copper." said Brood. The police officer was punched in the chest and was sent flying a fair distance away. After doing that, he walked over to Blackjack. "Despite me enjoying the piggy flying, I'll need help from you getting the rest of the Reilurite that the fool Jester buried them before losing to him. Get me out of here before those brats show up." said Blackjack. 

The masked man nodded as he said,"Will do. I got to punch an idiot today and I'm sure that he's probably has some broken ribs from my punch.". The man held out his hand as both him and Blackjack were covered in blue fire. It looked like they were burned alive and the fire eventually vanished as it left no sign of them being there except for the claw marks from Blackjack earlier and Wade's broken ribs. 

Meanwhile back in Cypress Park, it was a bright and sunny day. Inside of Zenith Tower which looked the same as it did before but was more high tech on the inside, Zane was boxing onto a punching bag using his bare fists. He was in his latest training clothing. He's now wearing a blackish red sleeveless training gi with matching colored kung fu pants and his signature tennis shoes. He began punching and kicking the bag with all of his might.

For once, it wasn't the Massacre haunting his mind or the memories of Necron. He learned about the latter thanks to Rythos taking him to a bar where the two of them were drinking like nothing else. He was just focused on getting stronger, to protect everyone who he cares about. He looked at the punching bag in front of him with him imagining Skull Plague instead of the bag being there. All of the pain Skull Plague gave to the Omniverse caused him to growling outwards.

He cocked his left fist back with him punching the bag, blowing it open with his punch and spilling sand onto the floor. "It seems you're getting your anger out in a violent and slightly unhealthy manner Zane. I'm slightly sad for the guy who you decided to use your full strength on since you're very deadly when you're angry." said a familiar voice. Zane turned around to see Savant. The man may not age but he does change his physical appearance once again. 

The man now looks to be in his late fifties. The time traveler still had the appearance of a regal looking Caucasian ,British, male. His black hair was cut down to his shoulders and looked to be half gray at this point. His neatly trimmed goatee was gone. His eyes are still black and rather small. His midnight black long sleeved shirt and black waistcoat ,with red accents and gold buttons, look to be slashed by a sword. He's wearing black trousers with a ruby red belt.

Savant is still wearing his brown leather boots that has an hourglass pattern engraved on it. Around his neck, he's wearing a pair of goggles with the lenses resembling gold monocles. The man had lost his left arm with him saying that he lost it for the next generation of the Omniverse. In its place, his brown wooden cane ,with a gold knob at the top, was there. "Okay then. I'm not going to ask how you broke into my house but I'm going to ask you to politely leave." said Zane.

He grabbed a new punching bag onto the hook with him saying,"Don't you have something else to do that doesn't involve me?". "Oh Zane. You know how you and the Omniverse are entwine together. Do you not remembering your mission in....." said Savant. He was stopped by a hand covering his mouth as Zane said,"Remember the promise we made. What happens on that mission stays between the group of us involved remember?".

Savant removed Zane's hand from his mouth as he said,"You're right. Sorry about that Zane. You know how I can be sometimes. A real town gossip.". "Yeah. How does Hourglass deals with you and your antics aka messing with space and time is a mystery that I'm not willing to find out. So tell me why you're leave or get out." said Zane as he crossed his arms. "So when was the last time you had a day off or a vacation? You look like crap pardon my Uwaric." said Savant.   

Zane looked at his knuckles, noticing how they were bleeding due to his more intense than normal workout on the punching bags around the gym inside of his tower. "You have a point but honestly, I can't rest." said Zane. "Don't you have friends who can help you? I mean you can ask those kids from Washington. I can see that they'll be great heroes like you one day." said Savant. "I rather not have them being superheroes mind you since they had no prior training to getting their power." said Zane.

Savant looked at Zane with the Cross Species saying,"But if you recall, I did have training prior to getting my powers. They refused the Alliance's help since according to Danny, they didn't need their help. Isn't that a bit cocky?". "Yes but I can see why you don't like them. Remind you of the days before the Massacre don't they? Villainy evolved from the day of common street thugs, wielding tommy guns but so has heroism." said Savant.

The man looked at Zane with him saying,"Young metahumans are being inspired by you every day to do the right thing. Don't you forget that.". "Fine. I'll give them a chance if they talk with the Alliance or maybe you can convince them. So why are you here and no jokes? I'm sure I ask you that and I didn't get an answer." said Zane. "Something big is coming to happen Zane. Something that concerns the Omniverse as a whole." said Savant with a serious look. "And I'll take care of it. Just do what I asked okay?" said Zane. 

Savant sighed as he said,"Sure but just try and relax Zane. Zeroes long before you died because they overworked themselves.". He was gone as Zane sighed heavily and looked down at his slowly healing knuckle. "I know that most of my physical scars are healing by my powers but the mental ones aren't healing any time soon. I should probably do some training in the Pit but I should probably relax a bit first. There are vacation dimensions after all." thought Zane. 

Zane walked over to a nearby bench with him looking at four sets of weights nearby and he sat on the bench, spouting two extra arms under his normal set of arms. He grabbed all four sets of weights and began using them. "Zane. Why I truly hate to interrupt your alone time." said Jaime's voice from the speakers inside the gym. "She's lying Zane! I think she gets off on it." said Cole's voice with Zane hearing a all too familiar smack hitting him.

Jaime sighed as he said,"Ignore him Zane. You have a video call from Agent Mercer.". "And what do you think you should do? We've done this song and dance how many times now?" said Zane. "Yes but do you really think he likes being ghosted or put to voice mail by an upstarted hero? I'm sure you recall what happened the last time you did that." said Jaime. "Yeah. Danny wasn't a fan of being tranquilized at all." said Zane.

Zane sighed as he said,"I still haven't told him or the others about that mission since Silas well hates people knowing about him and that mission is different. I keep going on these missions like how I keep breaking people out of jail. Silas is more covert than Avalon is. I have to thank you for finding about them Athena since I'm sure they broke out Salem and returned her back to her body. I also heard them mentioned by the Furies when I was "captured" by them the other day.". 

Athena nodded as she said,"You're welcome Zane. So should I put Silas on video call?". "Sure. Rather not have another one of my friends tranquilized again but knowing my luck, it will." said Zane. In front of Zane, a holographic screen appeared in front of him and a man's image appeared. This man is Silas Mercer, a high ranking member of the Alliance and being America's top cop and the secret head of Earth's security. 

Silas Mercer is a bi-racial (being that his mom is African American and his father is Caucasian) man with him being in his mid 40s and has an athletic physique. He stands at a solid 6 feet tall. He has blond hair ,from his father’s side of his family, in a military style buzzcut. He has green eyes from his mother’s side of his family. His face has a thick claw like scar running down his face which covers his right cheek to his chin. 

He’s wearing a black short sleeve shirt ,which works as a bulletproof vest, with two straps and carrying normal looking Smith & Wesson M&P pistols but they’re clearly not standard issue. He’s wearing navy blue jeans with a belt that has several ammo cartridges and black combat boots. His shirt has a silver A logo on the center of it. Zane brushed his hair back from his face as he said,"Hey there Silas. What's up in the world of the most dangerous man on Earth?". 

Silas looked at him as he said,"You do know why I'm calling you right Zane?". "Let me guess. World peace has finally happen? Swarm has been shut down? And that bulldog politician has been called out for his sleazy actions? Or maybe Curtis's show has been cancelled?" said Zane. "Ha. You're so funny Zane. I got word that those kids decided to come talk with the Alliance. Did you had something to do with that?" said Silas.

Zane shrugged as he said,"Yeah. I asked Savant if he could that for me. Don't tell them my secret identity or else.". "I understand your wanting to keep Legion Zero and Zane two different people so I'll also put those kids through the ringer. They honestly thought that they could keep avoiding me but no one avoids me." said Silas. "I honestly thought you would have tranquilized them and forced them to join by now. So is that why you called me?" said Zane.

Silas shook his head as he said in a serious tone,"No. I wish to inform you that Dark Haven has been vandalized.". "Okay. I'm sure you're well aware of how Spring Breaks works right? Tara told me that they just finished up their massive party there. Nothing important was probably stolen but you telling me this makes it important right?" said Zane. "Correct. Someone has stolen half of the bell tower." said Silas. "Okay. Why would someone steal a bell tower and half of one?" said Zane.

Silas shrugged as he said,"I honestly have no idea how the criminal minds works Zane. Their minds and how they operate is an mystery just like how women are one. This criminal ripped the tower out of its foundation.". "I have so many questions and I'll go investigate." said Zane. "We'll handle that part Zane. You just focus on crime in Cypress Park." said Silas. "And I'll probably be going out any time now knowing my amazing luck." said Zane.

Silas blinked as he said,"You and your grandma's ability to predict the future is something else. So good luck with that.". He hanged up as Athena's voice echoed,"And you need to go Zane. A prison convoy has been taken over by the inmates. I've informed Sly about you being there. She's driving the Vindicator on the highway.". "Okay. I'll be there in a flash. Tell them I'll see them soon." said Zane as he teleported away using Direct Transportation. 

On the highway, Sly ,in her human form, was driving the RV and she heard her passenger say,"So this is a highway? I'm quite impressed Sly.". Sly turned to see her partner's latest friend Lynx sitting there as she said,"Thanks but things have changed in the past 5,000 years.". "Yeah. They really have Sly. I remember the days of people using horses to travel around" said a male. Sly turned around to see Atem, Uriel, and Zoey with them sitting at the dinette.      

Zoey looked at Atem with her saying,"That's alright. You're actually older than dad biologically but over three thousand years.". "Yes I am but I tended to stay in the shadows and watched humanity grow into what it is today." said Atem. "So how old are you...." said Uriel. The five occupants shook heavily as a large prison bus driving past the RV and scrapping. "Wow. Zane was right. Crime doesn't sleep in this city." said Lynx as the three Alvarez kids turned into their superhero forms.

Uriel looked at Sly with her saying,"So do you think daddy will be here?". "In a few seconds." said Sly as Zane appeared from out of nowhere. "Hey dad." said Atem. "So why aren't you puking?" said Zoey. "I only puke when I get teleported away by someone else. Those cons picked the wrong bridge at the time. Ready to go kick some buts kid?" said Zane with the trio nodding. "Zane. I hate to be that type of being but you guys shouldn't go without a plan." said Sly.

Lynx nodded as she said,"She's right. Kane used to do that a lot in the day and always made a simple situation much worse.". "Well, aren't you going to try and deny that?" said Sivarth. Kane didn't answer him due to him being quiet inside of Elysian. "Don't worry you two. We got one." said Atem with Uriel and Zoey nodding. "Yep. Lets go." said Zane. He turned into Turbo Form with him turning to Atem and Uriel. "Hang on! We're going fast! Turbo!" said Zane.

He flew out the front door with Atem stretched his bandages, grabbing onto Uriel and Zane. Zoey flew after her father. "So can't he teleport there?" said Lynx. "If there is one thing you got to know about Zane Lynx, he does whatever he wants when he wants." said Sly. Lynx nodded at this. Inside of the prison bus, the rioting inmates were loudly cheering from their freedom as the driver declared,"Next stop, freedom!". 

The driver is Topaz with him wearing a Negation Collar. "Hell yeah! We're free!" said another prisoner as the others around him cheered. Topaz turned to see Atem through the side window. "Sorry but you're not getting out of jail without serving your time." said Atem. "Seriously?! Can't you heroes just leave us alone?!" said Topaz. Atem looked at him as he said,"Dude. Did you seriously just ask me that? I mean you do know who I'm friends with.".

Uriel and Zoey jumped inside of the bus via a hole that Zane made using one of his swords. "Yeah and you're going down!" said Zoey. The inmates began panicking with Topaz saying,"Why is the mummy and the rest of the brat Zero babysits here?!". Uriel punched some of the inmates with Zoey covering her back by firing green Nether blasts at any inmate who dared to hit her younger sister. Atem grabbed hold of the steering wheel and let it slide sidewards. "I don't care. They're history!" said a prisoner.

This prisoner is Rock Lord with him swinging a hook chain at Atem. "Die!" said Rock Lord. He hurled the chain toward the mummy but it was grabbed by Uriel. She dragged the musician toward her before knocking him out with a strong uppercut punch. "Nice punch sis!" said Zoey, firing two energy beams at two prisoner who tried to knock her out by crowbars. "Learned it from dad." said Uriel. At the front of the prison bus, another inmate tried to attack Atem with a chain and hook. 

Atem dodged it by turning into bandages and went out the window. The prison bus ended up scraping into the side of the Vindicator with Sly saying,"Hold on!". Lynx nodded as Sly moved the RV behind the prison convoy and evaded an oncoming car by mere inches. "Osiris. Go inside and help out the girls. I'm stopping this show in its tracks." said Zane. Topaz and the prisoners who were't fighting against the girls saw Zane ,in Salamander Form, standing in front of the prison convoy.

He was floating there thanks to Gravity Drive and opened his mouth. This release a blizzard right onto the windshield. The prison bus ended up on the other side of the road again and Topaz was trying his best to wipe away the frost using the windshield wipers but it stuck. The prison bus and Vindicator ended up side by side on the road again as the inmates fought against the next generation Alvarez trio inside of the bus.

Another inmate tried to crash into Zoey but was stopped by a series of bandages coming from Atem and used that inmate to knock down his colleagues. A few inmates had escape from the trio and onto the roof of the prison bus. They were planning on jumping off the bus and into the water below. This was their best way to escape but some of them were frozen in place by Zane, punched in the face by Zone who was in Canine Form, or hit by or blasted by emerald green energy.

The latter came from Lynx who had opened up the passenger window to assist Zone. "She isn't that bad a shot." said Zone. "Yeah. I guess asking her to join Team Maelstrom was a bright idea after all huh Kane?" said Zane. Like before, Kane was silent. With everything going in the Alvarez family and friend's favor, Sly had an idea and remembered something Efren told her earlier. She pressed a button on the RV's dashboard. "Lets active the Slice and Dice." said Sly.

Lynx felt the RV shake slightly as she looked down to see the frame of the RV produce a laser buzz saw. "So is this normal for motor home because if it is, it's really cool!" said Lynx. "It isn't but tell Efren that it is and he will love you." said Sly. Meanwhile, Rock Lord ,with his hook and chain, tossed it around Zane's tail. Feeling the chain trapped around his tail, Zane was dragged down and toward the ground. "Zero! He needs our help!" said Lynx.

Sly sighed as she said,"If you're going to be a member of this team, you should know something about our leader. He does this stuff to surprise his opponent.". "But what if he's in actual danger?" said Lynx as she turned to the Akostar. "We'll help him." said Sly. "Oh no. I'm so scared." said Zane as he turned into Extinct Form. He jumped out of the chain and grabbed onto it. He used the chain and wrapped it around the criminals with Rock Lord getting punched by Zone. 

Zane looked at Zone who nodded with the clone making sure that the prisoners don't try and escape from the chain. The skeleton nodded toward Sly with her making the RV slash the wheel of the prison convoy. This caused the bus to careen out of control and into the Vindicator. On the roof, the duo of Zane standing there and Zone holding onto the prisoners. The kids and prisoners inside were holding on for dear life.    

The kids heard,"I need you three kids to come help me stop the prison bus from the outside while the boss handle it from the outside.". They nodded as they left the bus and Zane entered the prison bus while deactivating the form. He went to the front of the bus with Crisis Judgement going off and Zane dodged the Negation Collar. "Seriously?! I thought we could negate his powers!" said the prisoner. "Sorry but try again in the next life." said Zane. 

With Zone and the trio, Atem took a deep breath as he stood on the highway. His arms were bigger and he caught the prison convoy. Uriel and Zoey made green and dark pink energy beams to blast open the front of the bus with Zone smashing the engine. This stopped the bus with Zane smashing. "Well done kids. Making your old man proud." said Zane. A few hours later, the Vindicator was parked in a tropical grove near a road and there was a sign that said,"Rest Area" directly in front of it.

Inside of the RV, Atem ,out of costume, was looking around for junk food in the fridge. "So do you want Uriel? Want cookies or sweets?" said Atem. He turned to his sister who was sitting on the sofa nearby the side door. "I want chips if we have them bro." said Uriel. "No problem." said Atem as he closed the fridge and grabbed a bag of chip. He handed them to his sister who thanked him and Atem went back to his book on the history of Space Travel.

Zoey was talking to Lynx, Sly, and Zane at the dinette. "So how was your first time as a superhero Lynx?" said Zoey. "Which was really easy by the way." said Uriel. "Something like this being easy is strange to you guys too right?" said Atem. "It was fine Zoey but I didn't really help you guys at all. I just blasted a couple of goons." said Lynx. "Yeah but you're a part of Team Maelstrom now. You'll get more work done in time. We don't come with any benefits except training by a sadist." said Sly.

She pointed to Zane who shrugged. "Thanks. So from what I learned and heard from the others, Zero usually leads us into battle right and the rest of us follow right?" said Lynx. "Kinda. I'm more less taking care of the big bad and the others take down the less powerful guys." said Zane. "While I hate to interrupt this totally important conversation, there is a report you guys may want to listen too. It's at Cape Canaveral." said Athena from Zane's watch. 

Zane turned on the TV that was on the dinette and the screen showed Cody Glover. "Today's launch of the SS Antioch spacecraft has been delayed to highly adverse weather conditions here at the launch site. For folks at home, it's a freak lightning storm. I've seen a lot of bad weather in my time as a reporter but nothing like this! It's orange lightning!" said Cody. The four Alvarez family members looked at each other with Lynx looking confused

Sly sighed as she said,"That isn't normal for Earthing Lynx.". "We've seen it before since it appeared when we fought the firewolf." said Zoey. "And that's where bro got a girlfriend!" said Uriel. "Nina isn't my girlfriend Uriel." said Atem. "But she is a girl and your friend big bro." said Uriel. Atem sighed as Zane said,"Despite Atem being really fun to tease, we need to focus. We saw this unique coloration of lightning back in Traverse Groves where we met Lynx.". 

Lynx nodded as she said,"Okay. So why is this a big deal Athena?". Athena didn't get to say anything as Cody said,"This is Cody Glover reporting live from the Kennedy Space Center.". "Hold on. Did he just saw the Kennedy Space Center? Dad! We need to go there right now! I wanted to go there for a while!" said Atem with a smile on his face. "Sure thing son but Cape Canaveral will have to wait." said Zane. "Why?!" said Atem.

Sly looked at Atem with her saying,"Lynx. Do note that Atem is usually not like this. He's been a big fan of space for a while now and wanted to go there especially after hearing about his father went into it.". "To be fair, I was taken to the Infinite Void which is in no place I want you kids going. I got lucky that I met beings who were willing to help me escape because that place is fulled with the worst of the worst." said Zane. "So why aren't we there already? Big brother is getting antsy." said Uriel.

Athena spoke up as she said,"Well Uriel, I need to tell you all something. That orange lightning is made out of Reilurite and this means that a Phantom is there." said Athena. "The monster! We need to stop him." said Zoey with Aem nodding. "Or perhaps, it's a Brandsa or Qlakrik since there is a faint trace of Carnal there." said Cole. "So gets go." said Sly. "Yep. To Cape Canaveral. Hang on." said Zane as he drove off to the space center.

Sly looked at Zane with her saying,"Um Zane. I know that you want to make sure that Atem and the kids don't speed once they start driving but the world could be in danger because you're driving like an old lady.". "Okay then. Hang on you guys." said Zane, with him pressing a different button than the one Sly pushed earlier. These buttons were on the dashboard. Wings sprouted from the sides of the RV and rocket boosters emerged from the back. "Three! Two! One! Blast off!" said Zane. 

The RV launched into the air with Lynx saying,"This is amazing!". At said Kennedy Space Center, it was a normal day there despite the thunder storm outside. The streets around the space center were filled with tourists visiting the complex alongside employees whose main job was to make sure that the tourists who were happy and occupied. Inside of the main building or to be more specific nearby the Universe Theater facility, dozen of NASA scientist and Astronauts sat down in the various booths.

On the center stage, a scientist by the name of Dr. Pierre was giving a presentation for the upcoming launch of the spacecraft. He's a bulky looking Caucasian male with noticeable pale skin. He has long ,past his waist, greasy looking black hair and piercing brown eyes. He has a thick looking beard. He's wearing a white NASA themed lab coat with a blue undershirt and brown khaki's. He's wearing gray metallic looking boots and gloves. This man stuck out for a number of reason. 

Pick one and you won't be wrong. "And with my redesign of the propellant tanks, it will increase acceleration on the twin solid rocket boosters. It will give the rocket better efficiency when it comes to high altitudes. These changes have already being implemented." said Pierre. He wore a name tag that said,"Dr. Pierre. Rocket Development Program for New Horizons.". The audience callped briefly with the scientist judged the presentation. 

The flight director said,"It's a very impressive display Dr. Pierre but since you're new, you should know that once a launch is scrapped, protocol dictates a thorough review before...". The flight director is Dr. Jodie Campbell. She isn't the Prime Dimension counterpart Tamara Campbell from Zero Episode 42. She's Caucasian with her having sandy blond hair and worn in a bun. She has brown eyes with square framed glasses. 

She's wearing a white lab coat with dark blue pants and light red shirt. She's known for her monotone voice and tends to be a very uninteresting person. "Who are you to question me?!" said Pierre, with him dwarfing her in size and vocal inflection. The other scientists around Jodie shivered due to them not liking confrontation. "I'm the flight director for the mission and your superior." said Jodie. "Oh. I seem to have forgotten that. Forgive me. It's been a long day. The lecture is over." said Pierre.

Pierece took his leave as a scientist said,"Wow. He may not be the nice guy around but he's a brilliant man. He's able to implant that new technology from Zenith Industries in record time. I can see why you hired him.". "I thought the board did." said Jodie with her getting interested in Dr. Pierre. This wasn't a romantic interest. After landing nearby in order to not cause a panic, the Vindicator was heading toward the Visitor Center entrance.

The building crept into view as the RV pulled up onto the Cape Canaveral complex. Inside of the motor home, the group was getting a plan. "So this is the Kennedy Space Center. I'm impressed that there is a building just dedicated to space travel." said Lynx. "So what's the plan dad? We're going in by force right? I mean all of us working together. This orange lightning doesn't stand a chance." said Zoey as she crackled her knuckles.      

Atem sighed as he said,"Zoey. If we go with your plan, we'll probably alert the being producing the orange lightning and I think attacking the space center is a bad idea.". "So should we be sneaky like ninjas then?" said Uriel. "Don't worry kids. I got us a way in and won't cause any trouble whatsoever." said Zane, smiling. "Mind telling us who that is?" said Sly. "Sly my old friend. I think I should keep this a secret." said Zane.

Ten minutes, the group was inside of the space center and they were observed the space exhibits with awe. Atem was enjoying it a bit too much. "It's the Apollo Spacesuits. There is also a replica of the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander. Oh my gods! Is that a rock sample from Mars?! Dad! I know that I don't normally ask you to use your powers to steal but can you remove it from its case so can I touch it please?!" said Atem.

Fed with Atem acting like a fanboy, Zoey groaned. "Oh my gods! Shut up?! You're driving me to blast you into your precious rock!" said Zoey. Instead of arguing with her, Atem pressed his face closely to the rock exhibit and used the gloves present to interact with the rocks. He was acting like a kid rather than the mature adult he acts like. Uriel enjoyed Atem acting more childish with Zoey experiencing the opposite feeling. 

Zane shook his head as he said,"I'm just happy he's enjoying himself. What you're feeling Zoey is exactly how your brother feels whenever you went on a rampage at the movie studio.". "I guess so but was I this embarrassing?" said Zoey. "Yes. You were." said Uriel and Zane. "Anyway. What are those two talking about?" said Zoey. She pointed to Lynx and Sly who were talking. "Something private I'm guessing." said Zane.       

The Cross Species could overhearing them due to his hyper hearing."It's interesting to think about all of these humans who went into space from this very location." said Lynx. "You really seem to be interested in this stuff Lynx. Not as much as Atem though. You're do remember that you're from outer space right?" said Sly. "Yes but my species never made the leap to space travel before the Omniversal War happened. We were able to make a shrinking machine but not a regrowing machine." said Lynx.

Before Sly could ask her for content, the six heard a woman's voice,"Zane Alvarez! It's so good to see you again. Been ten plus years right?". Jodie walked up to them with Zane saying,"Nice to see you too Jodie. It's been too long. Sorry I haven't come by to visit more often but you know why I don't.". He hugged her as Jodie smiled. If anyone of her employees saw her smile, they would be shocked since Jodie doesn't smile.

Jodie shook her head as she said,"It's fine. You've made quite the name here after all since you were the first stowaway in Cape Canaveral's history. Your older brother is the youngest person in space at eight years old and now look at you. You're the young CEO who is aiming to change the future in a big way.". "You did what?!" said Lynx, Uriel, and Zoey. Atem turned around and froze in shock with him muttering out,"What?!". 

Lynx blinked as she said,"Hold on. Why is that a big deal?". "Most astronauts have to be at least twenty six years old to become an astronaut so big brother doing it at eight is practically impossible even if he's rich." said Zoey. "Yeah. You would do something impossible." said Sly. "Yep. I was quite the troublemaker back in the day. I think I've matured a great deal since then." said Zane. "Didn't you go out of your way to prank Swarm the other day?" said Uriel.

Zane sighed as he said,"Yeah but that they had it coming.". "You're awesome big brother!" said Atem with him hugging Zane and a big smile on his face. "If you don't believe me, look at this." said Jodie. Atem, Lynx, Sly, Uriel, and  saw a picture of a young Zane ,being the one from Zero Episode 82, in a spacesuit and standing next to a shuttle. "If you didn't have a business to run, I would ask you if you wanted to be an astronaut." said Jodie. 

The Cross Species smiled as he said"Yeah but you do have a future astronaut in the making. My little brother Atem here has an interest in outer space.". "Yes I do." said Atem. "Interesting. I'll keep you in mind Atem. So may I ask why you're here Zane?" said Jodie. "Oh. I just wanted to show my siblings that I actually went to outer space around their age." said Zane. He was lying to an old friend but he didn't want her to get her in danger.

Ignoring the conversation between the old friends, Lynx was slowly walking around and looking at the NASA exhibits in awe. "I know that I may be still learning about humans and their history but they have done more than what the Lazmond did despite being far less resistance." thought Lynx as she accidentally bumped into Dr. Pierre. She stepped back and shook her head before looking at the man who was coldly staring at him.

Lynx chuckled as she said,"Sorry there Doc. I wasn't watching where I was going since all of these pictures and exhibits are just so fascinating.". Dr. Pierre ignored her as he was glaring right at Zane. "It's him! The one who defeated my master and Basalt. I need to get the plan moving fast." thought Pierre who clenched his left fist. This went unnoticed by Sly and Zane. "What are all of you doing here director? They're unauthorized visitors into a classified area. Get rid of them." said Pierre. 

He walked away while bumping into Lynx and Zane. Sly rolled her eyes with her crossing her arms in annoyance. "So how big is the stick that's up his ass? Lynx just bumped into him and she apologized to him. Instead of being the bigger man, he push her and Zane." said Sly. As Pierre walked right past Uriel, the young Vulcorian picked something off about this man's scent. "Huh. Something smells weird about this guy. It smells like dad whenever he uses lightning." thought Uriel.

Jodie sighed as she said,"It's been a crazy day here Zane and co. Dr. Pierre is a very testy person to begin with especially when it comes to people who don't belong here. He thinks that they're spies for North Korea or perhaps Russia even though we're working with the latter on this project. The delay isn't helping his mood. You remember the way out right Zane?". She walked away as Zane smiled and motioned for the group to follow him. 

As they were walking toward the restricted area, Uriel got her father's attention and told him about Pierre's smell. "Huh. That man smelled like ozone?" said Zane. "Yep. Is that normal for people at NASA daddy?" said Uriel. "Nope. Not at all. I think Dr. Pierre is responsible for the lightning but we need more proof but doing anything." said Zane. "Okay. So do you mind telling us about your time with NASA to occupied the time?" said Uriel. "Sure. I don't mind." said Zane.

The metallic building groaned and creaked about the group as they went down a large industrial corridor with catwalks dangling above them. "So that is why I don't mentioned my childhood too much. I did things that would cause child services to come hard on my mom. I mean I did grow up on a mountain and fought giant animals when I was a toddler. Good times." said Zane, smiling. He and his kids were in their superhero identities.  

Zoey nodded as she said,"Wow. That was an interesting story dad. I mean your childhood is something straight out of a comic book.". "So during your space travel, did you happen to land on the moon?" said Atem. "I did Osiris and let me just say. I saw an actually Earthrise and well, it's a beautiful sight. You'll see it soon I promise..." said Zane. He heard the very noticeable creak of an industrial door opening up and he grabbed the group.

The Cross Species turned them invisible with the group ,except for Zane, watched a few employees walking past them toward the employee lounge. Once they were gone, Zane made them reappear and let them go. "Follow me. If I remember right, Mission Control should be around here." whispered Zane as they nodded. The group walked toward a nearby locked door with Twilight saying,"So what's your plan? Going to have Athena or Cole hack your way?". 

Zane shook his head as he said,"Nope. I got a tool for this occasion. It's the best skeleton key in the business. I call it the Omni-Opener." said Zane as he opened up one of his belt's pouches. Zane held a small black square looking pocket knife with a red button on the side of it. Upon pushing the button on the side, a two inch blank metal key shaped stick comes out. He pushed the stick inside of the lock and turned it. The door opened as Zane said,"Jealous Sly?". 

Sly sighed as she said,"Not really. So do you have a gadget for everything in that belt of yours?". As Zane put the gadget back in his utility belt, Atem looked at Sly. "Yes he does." said Zoey. The group walked in and they were in Mission Control which NASA used to monitor rocket missions over the ages. "So this is Mission Control. To think we're in a place where so much history occurred. I'm so happy that we came here." said Atem.

Lynx sat down in a spinning chair with her saying,"So this place is pretty much where they do the launch right?". Zane nodded as he walked over to a seat. He began accessing a security control panel and it showcased a screen that showed the dormant SS Antioch ready for launch on the launch pad. "I remember Jodie telling me that NASA records everything here in Mission Control and she wasn't kidding about that. She once had to fire someone for tonguing a Neil Armstrong statue." said Zane.

Zoey looked at her dad as she said,"You can't be serious.". "Wish I was for once Zoey but humans are disgusting sometimes. Whenever I hear about stuff like that, I'm thankful that I'm only a quarter human." said Zane. "So that orange lightning?" said Uriel. "Right. Lets get going." said Zane, typing commands into the keyboard on the control system. Meanwhile at the launchpad near the SS Antioch rocket. 

Inside the transition hatch to the rocket, Pierre went back to work on the project before Jodie showed up and she need to talk with him. "I finally found you Dr. Pierre. I need to speak with you about your credentials." said Jodie. "Can't you see that I'm busy? Leave." said Pierre. "Dr. Pierre. You need to stop it right now with this attitude of yours. I'm your superior and I can fire you if you keep acting like a child." said Jodie. 

Pierre turned to her with him glaring and he said while clenching his fists,"I'm no woman's lackie and I need to teach you a lesson in whose really in charge.". Before she could do anything about him, she was instantly wrapped in black ink like tendrils and hoisting her into the air. She was knocked out with Pierre sighing. "Finally. I couldn't take another word from her." said Pierre. Pierre turned to the duo of Specter Samurai with a metahuman and Blackjack by his side. 

The metahuman is a tall, slightly muscular ,like a gymnast, young man with tanned skin. He has ebony, well kept black hair and a slight 5 o clock shadow. He has brown eyes. He’s wearing a blue and gold letterman jacket ,with a hood, with the coat decorated with a burning skull patch on the sleeves and in the back. His body is completely covered in tattoos which comes in several different designs. The only part of his body that isn’t covered in tattoos are his face, hands, and neck. 

He’s wearing a white v-neck short sleeve shirt. He’s wearing denim blue cargo jeans with them rolled at the ends. He wears black boots and gloves with an red arm band on his right wrist. The young man looked at the tendrils and told them to throw the director somewhere she wouldn't bother them which they did. "Sorry about the delay. We had to take care of those guards like you orders us to." said the metahuman. 

Pierre looked at him with him saying,"It matters now. You two take care of those fools. I have a very strong feeling that all of them will be a thorn in our side if left alone mainly Zero.". He was talking to Blackjack and Specter Samurai who both had a grudge with Zane. Blackjack was because of how he kept being beaten by Zane in Liger Form and Specter Samurai had a six year long history of fighting him when he worked for Lilith. 

Blackjack smiled as he jumped off the scaffolding for the launchpad and ready to fight Zane once again. Specter Samurai flew after him while intangible and invisible. "I just hope the samurai is able to do better than that clown and bug man. He was worth a pretty penny. As for you Brimstone, stay by my side and take care of anyone who dares to stop my plan. Go into my shadow." said Pierre with the metahuman nodded. Brimstone nodded as he blended into Pierre's shadow.

Back in the Mission Control facility, Atem yawned. "I know that we're supposed to be focused on the mission at hand but it's boring." said Atem. "And I thought TV could never be boring." said Zoey. "So how long is this going to take daddy?" said Uriel. Lynx was trying to stay awake with Sly rolling her eyes. "Welcome to the less fun part about being a detective. Going through hours of footage for anything to prove your case takes a while." said Zane.

Sly shook Lynx awake with the Akostar saying,"So how close are we to be doing? I think everyone is falling asleep at this point.". "We're at the pre-launch images and from what I can tell, we're onto something." said Zane. No longer paying attention, Uriel and Zoey fell asleep with Zane shaking his head. "Do you have a gadget in your belt to help us find proof faster?" said Lynx. "I do but all of this is important for hero work even if it's important." said Zane.

Atem nodded as he said,"And if I have to do something like this, I'll make sure to grab me some coffee and food.". "Smart idea. I'll keep this in mind and tell Scott about this. Osiris, mind waking up your sisters for me?" said Zane as he opened up another pouch on his belt and he brought out five black spheres ,being the size of a normal smartphone, very similar to his V.B.R.S. with its surface area being smooth and sleek.

He placed them on the computer desk as the five sphere turned into mini dragons with a bright red sphere, working as an eye. From its eyes, a set of horizontal and vertical red lines stretches along the sides of the dragon, diving it into four pieces. "So what are these things?" said Lynx, petting one of the dragons who enjoyed it. "They're the Drakes. They can fire a laser beam from its eye that scans important information back to me or hack into any system." said Zane.

He smiled as he said,"They can also be used to deliver a shot that's like a high power taser. It can fly using its wings.". "Sweet. Lets go." said Sly with Uriel and Zoey awake. The six left the room and were back into the hallway. "I'm more of a hands on investigator." said Sly. "Really?" said Lynx. "So where should we start looking?" said Uriel, yawning. "Of course I am. Follow me." said Sly. The six walked around with them seeing a large circular dome structure.

Moving closer to the dome, Zoey noticed a large sign. It was above a steel door that said in bright red letters,"Keep out. Authorized Personnel Only.". "So we should go in there right?" said Zoey as Uriel shrugged. "Yeah. I mean we're already trespassing but it's for a good cause." said Zane with him beginning to ramble on as Uriel opened the door using a control button. "Sorry daddy. I got bored of you talking." said Uriel as the door slowly opened up and they walked inside.

The entire room was one large circular dome with a metallic contraption that was NASA's launch simulator with Lynx seeing it. "So what's this Osiris?" said Lynx, touching it. "This machine is used to help astronaut get use to gravity on board the space station." said Atem. "Oh in other words, it's a mega merry-go-round." said Zane. "I may not know what that is but this sounds really cool." said Lynx. Crisis Judgement went off. 

Zane heard a growling sound and a sword being unsheathed right behind him. He turned around and he saw the duo of Blackjack and Specter Samurai. "So you two are working together. Didn't expect this paring but whatever. I ship it." said Zane. "Always with the bad jokes Zero. You shall not stop our plan your highness. Sick him boy." said Specter. Blackjack growled and pounced at Zane with Zane smiling. "Nah. I'm good. Concealed Strike." said Zane.

The hero brought back his left feet and slide one of his right fist back. Within a second, he sent his fist forward. The punch didn't connect with anything but Zane sent a massive shockwave directly toward Blackjack. This sent Blackjack flying into the air with Zane looking at Sly. She nodded as she found a nearby panel to close the door and pressed down. The door sealed shut with the firewolf tried to break down with its claws flaming red. 

Lynx turned to Zane with her saying,"So why did you lock us in here?". "To not bother the good people working here with our fighting." said Zane. "Can't we have a simple infiltration?" said Atem. "That will never happen buddy but we can handle them. I mean its two against six. We easily have the numbers advantage." said Zane. "But can Lynx fight?" said Uriel. Specter Samurai floated with her saying,"Your door can't stop me. Taste this.". 

Before he could do anything, he was blasted into the door ,by emerald green energy, and this sent the Phantom into Blackjack who winced a bit at being squished. Uriel turned toward Lynx whose hands were glowing emerald green. "Does that answer your question about me being unable to fight?" said Lynx. "Yep." said Uriel with her smiling. Zane smiled as he turned into Thunder Form. Blackjack and Specter Samurai were getting ready to fight. 

Blackjack jumped toward Zane who dodged his swipes before grabbing the wolf by his legs, throwing him into the centrifuge. Atem and Lynx went to go help Zane with the firewolf as the girls fought the Phantom Samurai. Back in Mission Control, the Drakes were looking over hours of security footage and it was still boring. One of the Drakes noticed something. It was the footage where the orange lightning hit the building and spotted something interesting. 

It rewound the footage a bit, showing that there was a person standing on the launch pad. Another Drake zoomed in, showing the person to be Dr. Pierre inputting a command on a tablet. This just proved that Pierre was clearly reasonable for the orange lightning. The Drakes relayed the information to Zane who just dodged Blackjack's pounce and Zane smiled. "I know who you two are working for." said Zane.

Sly jumped toward Specter Samurai, kicking him in the face with lightning as she said,"Mind telling the rest of the class then?". "Pierre." said Zane. "Wow. I so didn't see that coming. I mean he really does screamed bad guy doesn't he?" said Lynx, firing a wave of ice at Blackjack and freezing him to the ground. "Yeah. He smelled like ozone!" said Uriel. "Uh huh." said Zoey with her blasting the samurai with green Nether. She didn't know what ozone was but it sounded bad. 

Atem punched the firewolf back as he said,"Yeah. So what about the Drakes?". "They'll come back to me and watch out." said Zane. Blackjack charged at Atem who wrapped the wolf's muzzle in his bandages with him saying,"You won't be infecting me again furface!". He threw Blackjack into the wall with it making a noticeable smack. Blackjack landed on his feet and growled. "Huh. I thought it was cats who land on their feet not wolves." said Zane, slamming his fists onto the ground. 

Blackjack was shocked by the electricity hitting him and Zane said,"Osiris. I need to give this guy a whirl!". Atem nodded as Blackjack was wrapped in bandages once again. He could feel the firewolf's hot and stinky breath on his bandages. "You may be strong with your mouth but without it, you're weak." said Atem. Blackjack growled with him shredding Atem's bandages that were around his mouth using its claw. 

Atem glared at him with his bandages slowly regenerating. Blackjack went back and jumped into the air with him skydive from above. Lynx ran up the nearby wall with her jumping toward Blackjack and kicked him into the ground hard. Atem stretched his bandages around Blackjack once again and he tossed him into the nearby glass window above them hoping that it would end the fight. The glass shattered and sending debris onto the floor.

The firewolf shook his head and snarled slightly with him touching a certain button. The centrifuge whirled and came to life before spinning around. "So is this normal?" said Lynx. "Yes." said Sly as she along with Blackjack and Lynx jumped into the air to avoid the centrifuge's crane arm moving around them. Atem and Uriel ducked with Zane attaching himself to the wall using electricity. Specter and Zoey stood there as they phased through the arm if it got closed to them.

Blackjack tried to attack someone but was constantly hit by the arm. Zane smiled with him punching the firewolf in the face using a right hook. This pissed off the firewolf who jumped onto the machine and said creature opened his mouth. It released fiery sonic waves with the group dodging them. "So is it bad that I'm kinda jealous of him right now?" said Cole, getting hit by Lucifer. "Focus please." said Lucifer. 

Atem wrapped his bandages around the arm and launched himself to give Blackjack a swift kick to the werewolf's chest being that Specter caught him and threw him away. Zoey ,while intangible, held her brother and turned him intangible as the arm was about to strike them. Uriel smiled as she kicked the distracted Specter in the back and send him flying Lynx who smiled. She produced a fire ball and threw it at Specter. The Phantom was sent flying at the wall, breaking it. 

It made a hole in the wall and sent rubble and debris everywhere. Both him and Blackjack escaped through the smoke. The six heroes left the room as the machine came to a halt. "So are they still here?" said Sly. Before Zane could answer her, Lynx saw several small figures coming through the dust and glared at it. Lynx rushed toward them with her getting shocked by the five drakes. "So why did they attack me? I thought we were friends." said Lynx. 

Zane deactivated Thunder Form with him saying as the five drakes turned back into the spheres and the Cross Species grabbed them,"Because you attacked them first. So why is Specter working for Pierre? He's kinda Lilith's butt monkey.". "She could be involved you know." said Sly. "Yeah but I'm not sure since she has a lot of power now so why would she give it up?" said Zane. "Because she hates you and loves grandma?" said Zoey.

Sly and Zane looked at her with them saying,"You're not wrong but still.". "Jinx!" said Zane with Sly punching her. "We can figure out why he's later. We know that Amarok is here and hopefully, I don't get turned into a weremummy again." said Atem. "Yeah. We'll find him later since I bet him and that overgrown nerd are working together. Both of them were seen around the orange lightning so what's next?" said Lynx.

Uriel looked out in the distance with her saying,"Um you guys!". They turned to see more orange lightning zap across the sky of Cape Canaveral. "Okay. That isn't a good sign." said Sly. "So are you guys ready to take them down as a team?" said Zane. The group nodded with Zane smiling. "And with that, lets go check it out." said Zane. He turned into Dreadnought Form, brazenly flying off toward the location at an impressive speed. 

Lynx blinked with her saying,"So is that normal for him? Ditching his team and that thing can fly? I'm shocked.". "Sorta of and with Zane, you kinda get used to things like that form just happening." said Sly. "He says we should work as a team but he flies off without us." said Zoey. "Yeah. Dad has a tendency to rush on ahead since he likes to be the distraction and don't say that. We need to focus." said Atem as the group went right after Zane. 

About twenty minutes later, the group were on the outskirts of the Cape Canaveral complex. The ocean's wind howled loudly near the island's borders and the sound of seagull were heard nearby them. The group ,with Zane deactivating Dreadnought Form, was walking through a junkyard that consisted of discarded shuttles, space travel parts, and other broken space stuff. "The orange lightning came from around here." said Zane. 

Lynx looked around as she said,"So where are we?". "Welcome to Necropolis gang. There are all kind of junk here. You got rockets, thrusters, engines, capsules. If it broke, it's right here. Every mission in the history of space travel here is. NASA is like a hoarder being that it has a hard time moving on from the past. You can't live in the past because you can't move forward. It's a lesson that everyone in the Omniverse has to learn." said Zane with him remembering the Massacre and clenching his fist.

Yeah. He'll be doing that a lot since from what I know, PTSD kinda sticks and you can't stop thinking about it. This is just from what I know and I could be horribly wrong about it. Uriel and Zoey looked at Sly who mouthed to them,"Don't say anything.". Curious, Atem looked around the area and he noticed an old capsule. He walked over to it and noticed a plague. It said,"To the men who tried and advanced humanity.".

Atem nodded as he said,"Huh. This was from 2008 or 2009. Not sure but there are initials of all of the astronauts involved.". Uriel glanced at the plague with her saying,"Huh. Z.A wouldn't happen to be Zane Alvarez would it?". "Yeah it does but well, I think I'll be advancing humanity in a different way rather than conquering space since we will do so well against any species out there." said Zane with a sigh. 

Zoey heard a familiar growl with her turning around and seeing Blackjack, standing nearby the ground on a broken rocket. She looked at the wolf with her saying,"Am I'm going to guess that you don't want us to live in the present either.". Uriel ran toward him with her saying,"This is for almost turning my big brother into a weremummy!". Blackjack smiled as he released a fiery howl directly toward Uriel who smiled.

She took the full brunt of the attack and jumped toward him. She punched him in the face directly much to his shock and they went onto the ground, fighting. "We should probably go help her!" said Lynx with Zane smirking. He threw a V.B.R.S. at Blackjack and it covered the wolf in vines. Uriel watched as he tried to break out of it by covering himself in fire but was shocked. Uriel turned to her dad and threw him a thumbs up before punching Blackjack in the face. 

The Akostar shook her as ink like tendrils wrapped around her waist and dragged her off. "Okay. So is this a new one or not?" said Sly as she turned to see Brimstone standing there. "You need to leave right now." said Brimstone. His body glowed white as several black ink like tendrils came out of his body and wrapped themselves around the two closest beings. These two were Lynx and Zoey. "Let me go!" said Lynx.

She blasted the tendrils away with her signature green energy. Sly and Zoey followed suit by blasting them with lightning and green Nether respectively. "The three of us will handle inky. You two should go help Uriel." said Sly. Atem and Zane nodded as they turned to Uriel who kept punched Blackjack in the face. "Ah. That looks painful." said Atem. "Yeah. If he didn't turn you into a weremummy, I would have feel bad but just a bit." said Zane.

Crisis Judgement went off as Zane turned to see Specter Samurai floating out of the ground. He looked at the tired up Blackjack and was getting the crap beat out of him by a little girl. Brimstone was doing better but all of his tendrils were destroyed by electricity or energy. "Sometimes. I find myself working for idiots." said Specter with him opening his chest. Instead of Jester, he was the Phantom with the Reilurite from Traverse Groves inside of him. 

Atem looked at Zane with him saying,"So are we okay? I mean that stuff is deadly right?". "It is but we should be fine since I tampered with the one we found in Traverse Groves. I'll tell you what I did later. Oblivion Napalm!" said Zane with him cupping his hands and screaming into them. Zane threw the highly condensed ball of sound toward Specter. This caused the samurai to be sent flying and his chest closed back up during his flight.

Seeing an opportunity, Atem grabbed Wolfram with his bandages and he tossed the firewolf toward the samurai. The two collided with them landing on the ground. "Seriously?! Why did you let him escape my wrath?" said Uriel. "Um. I'm trying to defeat our enemies plus I doubt he'll break out of his prison." said Atem. "Um Osiris." said Zane. The mummy turned to see Specter freeing the battered up Blackjack from its prison with Atem groaning. "Don't say anything please." said Atem.

Uriel smiled as she jumped toward the firewolf and covered herself in dark pink Mojo. She dive-bombed onto the firewolf, causing an explosion of energy. "This is for hurting my brother!" said Uriel as she grabbed the firewolf by his neck. Specter was about to attack her but it was stopped by Atem who held him in his bandages. "And you're in no way hurting my sister." said Atem with Zane smiling at the family bonding. 

The Vulcorian nodded as she tossed the side of a rocket and he hit the ground hard nearby Brimstone with Lynx smiling. "And this is what happens when you mess with a real canine! I'm quipping right you guys?" said Lynx. "Yeah. You're doing better than Zero could ever." said Sly with her kicking back a tendril. "Ha. You're so funny." said Zane, rolling his eyes. Crisis Judgement went off as he was blasted in the back by orange lightning.         

It didn't bother Zane too much due to his natural electrical resistance but it was annoying. He turned to see Pierre standing on top of a capsule with orange lightning coming from his right hand. "I was told of your ability to negate electricity and it's just one of the main reasons why you're considered to be a Terran who will just never die no matter what. You're the one who defeated my master and Basalt after all." said Pierre in a cold tone.

Zane looked right at him with him saying,"Okay. You're not from around here obviously since your Impulse isn't human nor is it Phantom like the samurai.". "Smart. I'm an alien species known as the Kruxods. Let me show what I really look like." said Pierre. He roared as a giant orange lightning bolt struck down. As the electricity cleared, Pierre was no longer human being more of a monster than man. He was now ten feet tall with him having semi-transparent bluish-white skin.

His body looked like it was made with ice and random parts of his body looked to be made out of flesh. The flesh was an orange color and made out of scales. His black hair somehow shrunk being that it was now up to his shoulders and he still had a thick looking beard. His right eye grew bigger and was a orange color being that his left eye stayed the same. His fingers have been replaced by nasty looking claws.

He had several metal conductor like wings growing from his back and had a tail that resembled a fusion between an Ankylosaur and Stegosaurus. His clothing was replaced with him wearing a black and white coat with an orange lightning bolt pattern, showing off his muscular chest, black metal like pants, and his gray metallic looking boots and gloves from before. Pierre's appearance reminded the group of Frankenstein Form except uglier. "Wow. He looks ugly." said Sly.

Zane nodded as he said,"Yeah. I mean he already looked ugly but now, I think he looked better before so I think it's time to bring down the beatdown. I think it's time to kick half of the classic monster gallery. You're going down right kids?". Atem and Uriel nodded as Pierre jumped down from his perch with him joining his three comrades. Pierre looked at them with him saying in a demonic voice,"I leave you three alone to handle four beings but you couldn't do that. Such a shame.". 

Blackjack growled at him as Specter said with his arms crossed,"Can it Dr. Pierre.". "My name isn't Pierre but Paradai, a being of Destruction and Chaos! I want them eliminated before the launch. Do I make myself clear you idiots? I think you don't want to make me mad." said Paradai with his hands covered in orange electricity. Brimstone nodded as Zane said,"Wait! I have a question for you before you kill us!". "And what's that?" said Brimstone. 

Zane looked at them with him saying,"Is the last member of your boyband a vampire?". "Oh please tell me that you are! I always wanted to fight one ever since we fought a firewolf and zombie!" said Uriel. "Um shouldn't they be focused on defeating them." said Lynx. "This is normal." said Sly with Zoey nodded since she was curious about if she was fighting a vampire. "No. I'm a metahuman for hire. I have to ask why you wanted me to be a vampire in the first place." said Brimstone. 

The cross species smiled with him saying,"Just curious since this monster movie menagerie is missing a major player aka a vampire!". He turned into Vampire Form, charging toward the four and Paradai looked at Zane. The Kruxod raised his right arm with him saying,"Time to make you disappear you annoying pain!". He unleashed a wave of fire and ice with Zane flying into the air. He dived down with his body covered in crimson red matter.

Zane slammed into the ground, causing an explosion which sent the villains flying away. "And here's where I proved you wrong ugly." said Zane, cracking his knuckles. "Vampire Form is so cool!" said Uriel. "Yeah. This form is predictable unlike magic." said Zane. Crisis Judgement went off as an orange lightning blast flew toward him and toward an old rocket. The rocket began collapsing with Lynx and Sly protecting the trio from the falling debris and rubble.

The vampire was fine as he stood there and cracked his neck. "We need to leave now. We may have the numbers advantage but they know the area better than us." said Zane. The six were gone as the dust and debris had settle. The villains (Blackjack, Brimstone, Paradai, and Specter) noticed that Zane and co was gone. Blackjack was sure that they weren't done and began smelling the area using its nose before getting blasted by orange lightning. 

Blackjack turned around and growled at the Kruxod. "We're allies you fool!" said Blackjack. "Holy crap! You can talk!" said Brimstone. "Focus on the launch and revive our master." said Paradai. "You should be more worried about him not being dead. The king is well known for being a pain in the ass if kept alive. That's how your master lost in the first place after all." said Specter. "In that case, Brimstone will wait for them and attack if he sees them. You two come with me." said Paradai.

The metahuman nodded as he watched the alien, firewolf, and Phantom leaveBrimstone closed his eyes and fell asleep as his body glowed. Several small ,made out of ink, imp-like creatures came jumping out of Brimstone's body with them covered ,from head to toe, in a ragged blue cloak with two gold eyes sticking out. "Find them if you don't mind." said Brimstone, sleeping. The imps went running around Necropolis. 

Zane's group was watching them running around from inside of a rocket. "So how are we hiding ourselves from those imps dad?" said Atem. "I mean we can easily take them!" said Zoey with Uriel nodding. "Through the power of scent my son. I'm masking our scent so they can't smell us out. We're not fighting them Lodestar since I don't want them to find us.I think I know their plan. They're going to bring the Reilurite onto the spacecraft." said Zane in Fragrance form. 

Lynx crossed her arms as she said,"But for what?" said Lynx. "Yeah. She's right I mean it makes no sense to me." said Uriel. "We may have no idea what they're doing but we have to stop them before they can accomplish it." said Sly. "Okay then. I'll go into a Prime Form so I can stop the launch no problem, completely destroy the Reilurite by throwing into a black hole, and be back here to kick sleeping beauty's ass." said Zane.

Atem looked at his father as he said with his arms crossed,"Um dad. I'm sure that you could do that but we're here too. Even with your powers, you can't do this by yourself.". "But what if he clones himself?" said Zoey. "Even with that in mind, teamwork is the way to win right? We do have the numbers." said Atem. "Your brother is right. We'll split up into two teams. The group of Atem, Lynx, Sly, Uriel and Zoey will stop the launch." said Zane. 

Uriel said,"What about you daddy?". "Isn't it obvious? I'll be handling the gruesome four." said Zane. "Really Zane? That's your master plan. I see no flaws in it whatsoever." said Sly with her arms crossed and glared at each other. "I could leave you five here while I do all of the work by myself you know that right? I'm trying to work as a team." said Zane. The two glared at each other with Lynx looking at her two first friends.

She turned to the trio with her saying,"Are they fighting? I've never seen them fighting each other before.". "Nope. They're just worried for each other's safety." said Atem. "Fine. Stay safe partner because if you die, I'll never forgive you." said Sly. She along with Atem, Lynx, Uriel, and Zoey were gone. "You too." said Zane as he deactivated Fragrance Form. He changed into Camouflage Form and stealthily walked toward the unaware trio of Blackjack, Paradai, and Specter.

Zane had been tracking them by their Impulse and taking out the imps on his way. As they were destroyed, they turned into piles of ink. A few minutes later, Zane lost sight of them with Azalea said,"So what now?". Zane focused his hyper hearing and heard Paradai's large and heavy metal footsteps. He walked toward an old aircraft wreck as he began picking up a clanging sound coming inside of an old turbine engine. 

There was a door on it and Zane slowly opened the door of the capsule with him entering it. He began walking down the stairs and he saw that he was inside of a massive underground chamber. It was filled with old electrical equipment and devices. Paradai was working on a machine with Blackjack by his side. Specter Samurai was missing. "You better make sure that you do your part or else. The downlink must be aligned when the projection begins" said Paradai. 

Blackjack rolled his eyes as he said,"Of course I will. I ain't a screw up unlike that damn zombie you hired. I want to get my revenge on Zero and those brats of his. If I do that, your master will give me a chance to fight him right?". "Okay. It's weird to hear him talk." thought Zane. "He will so I'll begin the teleportation at once." said Paradai. He walked up to a large machine and hooked himself up to it.

While this was going on, Zane watched them walking toward a nearby circular platform that extended upwards. Zane grabbed onto one of the industrial cables and he wondered what they needed all of this technology for. Once the lift stopped, Zane watched as Paradai had ten plugs plugged into him and his body began pulsing with orange lightning. He put his hands together with his back pylons extended right before the machine behind him.

It was producing orange lightning outside of the building with Paradai clapping. The room was covered in a bright orange light as Zane closed his eyes due to how bright it was. The hero slowly opened his eyes with a huge time-space portal opened up and it was leading back to Cross Falls, Arizona."Huh. That's interesting. I heard about the Kruxod's ability to augment their abilities using technology but to make a portal. That's one strong being" said Kane.

Zane blinked with him saying,"So you're finally talking. It took you long enough. I know that you're shocked about seeing Lynx again Kane but still, she isn't dead and wants to talk with you which you will after this got it.". Kane nodded his head as Blackjack jumped through the portal with the portal vanishing him right behind. Once the portal closed, Zane pieced the dots together. "Okay. I think I get it now. That's why there was orange lightning in those places." thought Zane.

Athena nodded as she said,"Keep going on. Cole doesn't get it.". "Yeah! Hey!" said Cold. "Paradai here must have teleported Blackjack and Jester to those locations. It seems they need rocks from Terrarune and metal from Earth but why? I need to figure that part out." thought Zane. Back in Cross Falls, Blackjack had sprinted to the underground cave where the stolen NASA equipment was lurking there. He didn't noticed that he was being watched. 

Back at Mission Control, the rest of the group walked back toward Mission Control. Lynx opened the door with her seeing no one. "I know that we shouldn't ask this but where is everyone?" said Atem. "Let's talk it as a blessing Osiris." said Lynx. "Who cares right now? Lets see if I can get into the mainframe. K-9 and Lodestar, you're on guard duty." said Sly. The two girl nodded as they kept an eye for the bad guys.

Sly began inputting commands into a computer with the computer blaring out,"Access denied!". "So I hate to ask this but are you good with computers like that Frankenstein looking guy or Zero is?" said Lynx. "He really didn't want anyone to find about his plan." said Zoey. "I guess we have to do this the manual way aka the spacecraft." said Sly. "So does that mean I can go into space?" said Atem with him jumping up and down. 

Zoey groaned with Sly saying."Yes. Lets go already. We don't have time to waste.". "Right. So do you guys know what Zero did to the Reilurite?" said Lynx. "I think he got rid of the negative effects toward us maybe." said Uriel. The five walked toward the spacecraft unaware of the entire NASA staff knocked out and covered in black ink like tendrils. Back with Zane. He looked at Paradai who was tinkering around the machines.

Zane nodded as he said,"I don't need speed but power being that I got the perfect form for the job.". He turned into Brawn Form with him smiling. "Time to show you my power." said Zane with him jumping toward Paradai. Paradai turned around to see Zane and was about to catch him but he was too slow. Dodging the attempted grap, Zane threw the Kruxod into a pile of discarded engine parts. "You may have good reflexes but to me, you're slow." said Zane, cracking his knuckles.

Paradai glared right at Zane with him saying,"You will not stop this launch!". He fired fire, ice, and orange lightning at Zane who easily dodged them. "Yeah. You say that but I'll teach you to respect your superiors!" said Zane, clapping and sending a sonic wave toward Paradai. This pushed him back a bit and Zane rushed over to him. He punched the Kruxod in the face, sending him back once again. 

The creature roared in anger as he plugged himself back into the machine from earlier. "Your games are over!" yelled Paradai. He created a portal appearing behind Zane, showing the sun. "I hope you like having a tan Zane." said Paradai, walking away since he was sure that Zane couldn't get out of this one. Zane was being dragged toward the portal with him seeing a nearby engine heading toward him. He grabbed it and tossed it toward the portal. 

It closed as the engine entered it. "And that's how you handle a portal made by an ugly son of a bitch. Really wish I had a normal life sometimes but that sounds boring." said Zane, sighing. He looked around and he said,"Time to go find the bad doctor.". He jumped up to where Paradai was and he was standing on a control panel at the top of the chamber. "It's the end of the road for you so give up before I make you even more uglier." said Zane.

Paradai smiled as he said,"Aren't you curious about this machine I'm standing next too?". "Not really honestly." said Zane as he shrugged. "And my master was right. You are quite annoying like several beings have told me. You won't stop me. Observe." said Paradai. He pressed the button down with his fingers as the ground began shaking. "What have you done?" said Zane. Back at the NASA launch pad on the SS Antioch, it began shaking.

The Alvarez kid, Lynx, and Sly were climbing up a ladder right as the structure began moving. "So what's going on?!" said Zoey. "Isn't it obvious?" said Atem, getting giddy. "No! That's why we asked!" said Uriel. "The shaking is due to the main thrusters. We're going for a ride." said Atem with his smile growing. "So isn't there supposed to be a countdown?" said Sly. "I doubt we have time for one and good news. You kids are keeping the family legacy of being astronauts." said Lynx.  

After hearing, Atem screamed,"I'm going to be an astronaut! Awesome!". Sly sighed as the rocket took off and the group inside heading directly toward nearby Earth's orbit. Back with Zane, he blinked with him saying,"I know that I should be worried but Atem has wanted to go space for a while now but first, I'll taking you out!". Paradai ignored him and grabbed two electrical cables. He began charging them up. 

Zane smiled as he turned bright purple. He didn't get a chance to charge them for too long due to him being hit directly in the back by several missiles. Zane stood there in Brawn Prime. His skin now looks to be metallic with his physical appearance not changing at all except for his skin color which is a royal blue color. He's now twenty feet tall and he kept his hair the same. Brawn Prime has grown a beard that's similar to Zane's in the present day.

Zane's eyes changed from greenish yellow to a solid molten gold color. His canines are push forward, looking more like fangs. He wears a black vest over his chest with it showing his strong physique due to him wearing no shirt. He still wears his black pants with a gold belt that looks to be a mixture of a wrestling championship belt and sash. He now wears brown sandals. His helmet is protected by a silver helmet with a piece of red hair at the top. 

He currently has four arms being that the max amount of arms that Brawn Form can have is eight arms but tends to go with four like he goes with two arms in Brawn Form normally. All of his arms wear black fingerless gloves, silver ,steel, pauldrons, and silver steel finger-less gauntlets that works as shields with shiny steel studs. He also has the black burning flame tattoo. His fingers were currently five barreled missile launchers that just fire out very powerful missiles.

They turned back into small black claws with silver armored and organic knuckles. "You're going down your ugly son of a bitch! Your plan is going to crash and burn!" said Zane, cracking his all of his knuckles. The room slowly began glowing bright orange as he said,"You really this is my plan Zero but no. It's a combination of three individuals whom you are aware of quite well including the strongest Phantom I know." said Paradai. 

Zane watched as the electrical energy went throughout the room and began powering up the large generator in the middle. Zane looked up and spotted something strange. It was the clock tower from Dark Haven that Silas told him about earlier. "Okay. I know who stole the clock tower but why steal a clock tower of all things?" thought Zane. "So you took the clock tower because..." said Zane. "Let me remind you since you've clearly forget because of that." said Paradai.

The Kruxod smiled as he said,"It has been almost four years ago when you thought that you destroyed my master on that secret mission of yours. Sending him to a dimension where you can never escape from but you're dead wrong.". Grayish blue ooze appeared from within the bricks and began reacting to the orange lightning. Zane clenched his teeth and fists with him saying,"Even when I send you to a inescapable prison, you come back. Son of a bitch.".  

Said ooze floated upwards, forming a solid creature and Hyde appeared. "I'm finally free!" said Hyde with a smile and cackle to boot. "Master. All is prepared from your return. Time for us to complete that woman's master plan which was never going to happen." said Paradai, bowing to him. "You have done well my loyal servant. You'll be greatly reward for bringing me back." said Hyde with him flying down to him. "Of course. I only live to serve you." said Paradai.

Zane blinked with him saying,"Okay then. I should have asked for some help. Hindsight is a bitch isn't it?". Back in space, the SS Antioch finished its flight into near Earth orbit as the rocket boosters plunged off and fell back toward the planet. It hit the Atlantic ocean down below and hopefully not on a small village. Inside of the rocket, Uriel and Zoey slowly opened their eyes. "You two okay?" said Sly. 

They nodded as Atem said,"Don't worry. This was the easy part.". "Really?" said Uriel. "I think he would know what he's talking about." said Lynx. Atem jumped off the ladder and floated in zero-g space with the others followed him. As the group approached a hatchway door, Atem slowly opened it and was unaware of what was on the other side. It was Brimstone ,in a space suit, and Specter waited for them. 

Back on Earth, orange lightning surrounded Necropolis. Hyde smiled upon seeing Zane. "It seems that we have a score to settle Legion Zero! I mean you tried to kill me after all." said Hyde with Zane breathing heavily. "Okay. Then why are you here? I sent you and the two to Savadran to die!" said Zane. "I'll tell you soon and well, I heard about what you did. You let those six girls you died! That makes you the worse Zero ever!" said Hyde.    

Zane ,in anger, glared at Hyde with him saying,"Fine! I don't give a damn! I'm send you to the after afterlife!". He began blasted the Phantom with a barrage of missiles, only for Hyde to phase through all of them them. "Is that the best that overgrown muscle has to offer or what? I've been waiting almost four years for my revenge on the brat who send me to that wasteland but I guess you losing the dumb humans who gave you their hearts only for you to shatter them!" said Hyde.

Hyde was blasted directly by a giant burst of radiation at him being that Zane was in Radiation Prime and floating in the air. "I'm not scared of you and reminding about that day is only pissing me ever more!" said Zane. Crisis Judgement went off as Paradai had jumped down and tried to blast him with orange lightning. Zane dodged this with him flying away and Paradai held a massive ball of lightning in hand.

He was about to throw it at Zane with Hyde stopping him. Zane watched this from his hiding spot being that he deactivated Radiation Prime and turned into Nano Form, shrinking down to an inch tall and hide inside of a tube. "You don't get it do you. I need to be the one to kill if I'm able to keep the deal with Skull Plague." said Hyde. "Yes master. How will you get him? Did the Qlakrik give you power?" said Paradai.

Hyde smiled as he said,"He did. Let me find him so I can show him myself.". He flew down as he looked for Zane. "Come on Zaney. I thought you would be happy to see me. After all, we're both Zeroes." said Hyde. "I don't know how he become a Zero honestly. Leif wouldn't have picked this fool." said Sivarth. Zane agreed with him and Crisis Judgement went off. He slowly turned to see Skull Plague's head and the Phantom said,"Boo!".

Zane flew away from Hyde with Hyde smiling at how Zane was. "And now, you'll see what power I was given." said Hyde. He released a huge amount of Nether into the air with Zane sensing a new form of Impulse inside of the former Zero. It was Carnal. "No. You made a deal with him. Are you stupid Hyde?! You don't make a deal with Skull Plague!" yelled Zane. "I know but to kill you, I'm willing to give up my soul so you can die!" said Hyde.

He had changed drastically. His grayish blue body is ripped open, revealing black and white cracked veins covering his entire body. His stomach has a volley of living and always moving black tentacles bursting from them with the ends of them producing red Carnal that crackled like electricity. His spine is still sticking out of his body with his bones looking like blunt but deadly scythe like blades and his nails are still blackish gray.

His head is now turned to the side of his body with him having a single ,glowing red, eye and a mouth filled with jagged looking teeth. His head was covered up by a "mane' of red Carnal which looked to be mimicking hair. His tail is a white color with purple stripes through it. His elbows have several rows of red Carnal/Nether spikes sticking out of his arms and tail. He's wearing his grim reaper like outfit.

His body also had several nails driven into him his body being that his body was constantly dripping green blood from it. Upon seeing him, Zane's Essence was beating louder and could sense various emotions coming from Hyde. It was pain, jealously, suffering, and rage. Zane was visibly shaking as he deactivate Nano Form. Zane landed on the ground with Crisis Judgement going off and couldn't hear anything other than his Essence beating.

Paradai had watched his master transform and turned into a powerful being being that no one even in the Odium Society could compared to him right now. He leap down with Zane falling through the floor and the Frankenstein looking creature didn't want to face his master after letting Zane escape. Hyde was also looking for Zane being that he had sneaked away. "Find him right now! He's scared of me right now due to my aura so I should be able to infect him with my poison." said Hyde.

Paradai looked confused as he said,"What will your poison do to him? Can't he heal himself using his many ways of healing?". "Yes but my poison is strong enough to kill a being before they have a chance to heal and the only way to negate the poison is with a powerful healing spell. The brat doesn't have that power. Now find him right now before I use it on you my servant!" said Hyde with him  flying off and Paradai searched for Zane.

Zane ,who was suppress his power from the duo, was in his hiding spot aka an old wardrobe. "Okay then. Lets recap what's going on. Paradai brought back Hyde from Savadran which Savant told me and Silas that no being can escape once they enter it. That dimension is supposed to drive beings to madness, trapping them within their worst memory. There is also the fact that my kids, Lynx, and Sly have been sent into space. What the hell is my life some days?!" thought Zane.

Sivarth looked at his partner with him saying,"So are you okay Zane? I've never you scared like this before.". "Yeah. We see you more angry than scared most of the time." said Lucifer. "I got no idea myself. Maybe it is Hyde's new aura. I wasn't scared of Blaze when he was a Brandsa so why am I scared of him? I mean my Essence is being louder than normal and I sense all of these emotions coming from him." thought Zane.

Before the rest of Team Legion Zero could say anything, Crisis Judgement went up as Zane's hyper hearing picked up both Hyde and Paradai coming toward him. "We'll figure it out later! You need to get out of here!" said Cole. "I need him now! Skull Plague won't like if Zane is still alive before he can begin his master plan!" shouted Hyde. "Yes master!" said Paradai with him saluting. "Right. Here goes nothing." said Zane. 

He turned into Frost Form and phased through the ground. The door to the wardrobe was ripped open as Paradai appeared. "Damn it. I thought you were here." said Paradai. "Did you find him yet my loyal servant?!" shouted Hyde. "Not yet but I will!" shouted Paradai with the Kruxod gulping in fear of his master's wrath. Nearby, Hyde was looking for Zane with him growing. "Don't think you can hide forever failure. After all if you stay hiding, your kids will die like your lovers!" said Hyde.

The Phantom smiled as he flew to a different part of the base. Zane ,still in Frost Form and intangible at the moment, looked at the fleeting Phantom. "I hate to admit it but he's right. I need to stop them from dying but how?" thought Zane. Back in space, the SS Antioch was moving upwards past Earth and toward a large space station that was orbiting the planet in near Earth orbit. "So why are we going big brother?" said Uriel, looking out into space through a porthouse.

Atem smiled as he said,"We're currently heading toward the Tiberius Colony sister. After the success of the International Space Station in the 90s, NASA decided to build a bigger version that's twice the size and plans to host life up there within the next couple of years.". "So I guess humans love showing off huh." said Sly. "They sure do. So shouldn't we be looking for the Reilurite and how are you all breathing a suit?" said Lynx.

Zoey looked at her as she said,"We could say the same for you. I think this rocket ship comes with an oxygen generator right?". "Correct sister. Our costume also come equipped with one as well so we'll be fine Lynx." said Atem. "And like you I'm guessing, I can go without oxygen. Our best option is to bring the ship back to Earth instead of wasting time looking for rocks in a ship this big so lets move." said Sly.      

The five reached the cockpit of the shuttle which had six seats available. "So are you sure that you're able to fly this thing Atem?" said Sly as the mummy sat down in the driver's seat with Sly sitting next to him. The girls and Lynx sat in the back. Sitting down in the driver's sear, Atem looked over the controls for the rocket ship before flicking a button. "Of course. I logged in like a hundred hours in a flight simulator. It's just a 100-ton, 20,000 mile an hour high tech machine." said Atem. 

Uriel gulped as she said,"That's comforting I think.". She was looking out into the vast void of space with her noticing several glowing stars thousands of light-years away. "I still can't believe it. We're actually in outer space just like our dad did." said Zoey. "Yeah. It's a once in a life time experience especially since all of you and myself are biologically too young to be astronauts. Lynx excluding of course. So where's your home planet Lynx?" said Sly.

Lynx turned to her as she said,"My home planet was destroyed a long time ago Sly. To be honest, I kinda forgot where it was or what it's name was.". "Ah. Sorry for reminding you about that." said Sly with Uriel looking at Zoey. "Don't worry Lynx! You got a new family with us! The Alvarez family loves taking people in!" said Uriel. "She's right Lynx. Me, Uriel, and Zoey were all taken in by Zane to be apart of the best damn family in the Omniverse." said Atem.

Zoey nodded as Lynx smiled. "Thanks you guys. I'm just happy to be around friendly beings instead of evil ones." said Lynx. "Hold on. I have a question. Parker's planet is out there somewhere right? Do you think we could visit it someday?" said Uriel. "Maybe one day. Lets ask your dad once we finish this up. It would make for an amazing road trip. One across the Omniverse." said Sly. As the group talked, they didn't noticed ink tendrils coming toward them. 

Back on Earth, Hyde was flying throughout the hideout and phasing through everything to find Zane as Paradai smashed through everything to find Zane. "Master. Please tell me. Why in the nine realms are we wasting our time looking for him when the master plan is becoming a reality?!" said Paradai with him looking at the Brandsa and Phantom Cross Species. Hyde completely turned his head around to face Paradai and he flew toward him.

The Kruxod he held his hands in front of him with him saying,"No master! I wasn't saying that you were wrong....". It was too late being that Hyde possessed Paradai, covering the Phantom in a red glow. Paradai went on his hands and knees with him screaming in pain as he began strangling himself and being slammed against a nearby wall. "You don't get it do you? Zane is someone you don't let live because he'll fucked you over hard!" yelled Paradai with it mimicking Hyde's voice. 

Paradai was thrown onto the roof, with him hitting a piece of machine on his way back. Hyde left Paradai with him saying,"Do not talk back to me or you'll die first understand?". "Crystal. I won't disobey you again." said Paradai with him pleading for his master to spare him. Hyde flew off and he didn't noticed that Zane had been watching the whole thing. "That master plan Paradai mentioned. I hope it's not what I think it but I'm probably right." thought Zane. 

Zane flew downwards with him heading deeper into the ancient rocket that was buried underground and he eventually reached the bottom which could fit him in his normal size. It was probably made for someone of Paradai's size but Zane wasn't going to complain since he could hide here for a while. He deactivated the form as he saw a communication monitor with various screens that showed off the Tiberius Colony and the relay in Cross Falls. 

The Cross Species gulped as he said,"This is not good. I hope I can contact them. Athena. Cole. I need you to connect me to the SS Antioch's radio.". "Will do Zane." said Cole. After a few seconds, the monitor screen activated showcasing the trio, Lynx, and Sly in the rocket. "This is Earth to Sly and gang. Come in you guys." said Zane. On the ship, Lynx blinked with her saying,"Hold on. I'm not hearing things right? That's Zane's voice?". 

Zane's face appeared on the ship's projection screen which was on the dashboard as Zoey said,"Nope you're not. That's him alright. Hi dad! We're outer space!". "And Atem is flying a rocket ship! So what about you?" said Uriel. "Probably finished up with the gruesome four and came to check up on us. Don't worry so much Zane okay? We're doing just fine up here." said Sly. "Slytha Alvarez. I need you to stop being a sarcastic bitch and listen to me clearly." said Zane.

Sly looked at him as she said,"Hold on a second. You called me by my full name.". "And the fact that he called you a sarcastic bitch didn't bother you?" said Lynx. "It's a compliment honestly but Zane only calls me by my full name or Danny by his if he's mad or something serious is going on. Are you okay Zane? What's wrong?" said Sly. "I know what the creature is up thanks to Athena. He plans to use the Tiberius Colony as a homing beacon." said Zane. "For what?" said Atem.   

Zane looked at Atem with him saying,"He's going to project a beam of raw Reilurite mixed in with Carnal which will transmit from the colony toward the satellite transceiver back in Cross Falls. It will cover the entire planet in its glow.". "Meaning what? I don't get what's going on." said Uriel. "Cross Falls is where you guys fought the firewolf right?" said Lynx. "Yeah. I think that's why furry was stealing all that equipment." said Zane.

Sly noticed Zane taking several deep breaths with him saying,"A beam of Reilurite won't just mutate all human and animal life on Earth.". "What? It will do more than just that?" said Zoey. "This plan is three plans combined into one. Countess Chimera's plan was turning everyone on Earth into metas by activating their Metagenes at the same time. Rocco's plan was to control those newly born metas into serving him and the Odium Society aka losing their free will." said Zane.

Atem gulped as he said,"And the third plan? Because if it's like the first two, I'm going to scream loudly.". "Using the space station to plan out the sun. This means that Hyde will be at full power all of the time." said Zane. "Hyde's back?!" said Sly as Lynx looked confused. "Yeah. He's back alright and with a vengeance. Quick recap on Hyde for Lynx since she's new. He was just a phantom and a former Zero before dying by the hands of Jack the Ripper who existed. He's a Brandsa now." said Zane.

Sly looked at him as she said,"So? I mean you fought against Blaze when he was a Brandsa before four years ago. I mean this is a serious situation we found ourselves in but you look scared.". "Okay I did make someone a promise not to mention this mission but right now, I don't care. I took a mission three years ago during the summer of 2020. It was just before the Massacre so I think some of the PTSD I had that mission made the PTSD from the Massacre ever worse." said Zane.

The kids noticed that their father was shaking as Zane said,"I alongside a man named Agent Silas Mercer killed Countess Chimera, Hyde, and Rocco by sending them to Savadran as punishment for almost killing everyone on all seven continents Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. They would have done this by shifting Earth's gravitational field and bombing the polar ice caps at the same time.". 

He took a deep breath with him saying,"They would flooding the entire world after I ended their master plan. It would have been mass genocide.". The cockpit was silent as Atem spoke for the entire group with a single question. "You can't be serious dad. Why didn't we know about this?! This is a world ending event!" said Atem. "Because we kept it a secret between the two of us as a promise to the millions who died before we could stop them." said Zane.

Zane clenched his fist as he said,"Warrior was the only one to figure it out and well, he's been in outer space for two years now. We call Annihilation Day.". "So how did Hyde leave Savadran? I heard that once you enter, you can never leave due to the fact that it drives most beings who enter it to madness of some time." said Sly. "I'm unsure but I have a theory now that my head is clear. He made a deal with Skull Plague in order for me to die." said Zane.

Lynx nodded as she said,"That does sound like him. I mean I've never met the kids but from what you guys told me, he's a very bad being.". "That he is. I think the aura that he is generating is mimicking what Savadran is known for. Driving beings to madness. I could be wrong about that but still. It's the best guess I got. Avalon is involved somehow." said Zane. Before Zane could finish, Atem's suit began to beep as Uriel said,"Um big bro. Why is your suit beeping?". 

Zane looked right at her as he said,"Well Cotton Candy, it's quite simple. It beeps whenever there is radioactive material heading close to it meaning....". The Cross Species saw black ink like tendrils grabbing them as the five was dragged back to the depths of the ships. Brimstone dragged the quartet of Atem, Sly, Uriel, and Zoey back right before Lynx hanged onto the nearby seat. "You need to get up and help! Hurry please!" shouted Lynx.

She was dragged off as Zane shouted,"Atem! Lynx! Sly! Uriel! Zoey!". Crisis Judgement went off as Zane was gone. The circular platform in the center of the rocket came down with Hyde and Paradai riding it downwards. Hyde floated around and noticed that Zane wasn't at the console. The former Zero clenched his teeth as he swore that he heard Zane's voice here but he wasn't. Inside of a nearby refrigerator, Zane was hiding there. 

Zane took a breath of relief as he thought,"Thank the gods that fridges can deflect nuclear explosions and vengeful spirits! I can't believe I failed again!". He was starting to feel like he did back then with Sivarth stopping him. "You need to calm down Zane. Remember that Hyde is nearby so you need to breath and relax. They'll be okay I promise." said Sivarth. Zane calmed down with him saying to the Phantom,"Thanks Sivarth. I think it's time to kick some butt since I got a plan to get into space.".

Back in space, Sly held on tightly to Uriel and Zoey with the Akostar using both hands to hold the girls as her tail was gripped tightly onto a metallic pillar. Atem and Lynx were each holding to the same metal pillar as Sly. At the bottom of the ship, Brimstone stood there with his tendrils trying to bring them down. Specter ,whose chest was open and let the Reilurite out to breathe, looked at Brimstone with him saying,"What's taking so long? Bring them down so I can kill them.". 

Brimstone looked at him as he said,"It's kinda hard since that kid is pretty strong.". "Use another one of those tattoo of yours already!" said Specter. "Fine." said Brimstone. Before that, Atem said to Lynx and Sly,"So do you girls got any ideas because I don't think I can keep holding on forever!". "Hold on Atem!" said Lynx. Sly nodded as she let go of Uriel and Zoey with the girls grabbing onto the rail as welll. "What are you doing Sly?!" yelled Lynx. "Saving us." said Sly. 

She went flying downwards into Brimstone and kicked him hard in the head. She turned right toward Specter with her releasing a powerful fire breath and sending the two of them flying. Atem and Lynx watched Sly standing in front of the villains with Brimstone saying,"Come to life mammoth!". A giant white energy mammoth appeared. It slammed the quartet into an airlock that had closed on impact so this isn't good. "So my plan failed." said Sly.

Lynx looked around as she said,"Yeah but where are we?". "Is it a broom closet?" said Zoey. "No it isn't! We're in the airlock and need to leave now!" said Atem. After hearing that, Uriel floated over to the airlock seal as she tried to use her full strength to pull the airlock door open with the others helping her out. "Push like your life depends on it!" said Sly. At the dome window, Brimstone and Specter showed up there. 

The Phantom glared at them and at Brimstone. He phased Brimstone into the airlock with Brimstone saying,"Um. What the hell are you doing?". Specter smiled as he pulled the lever to the airlock hatch wide open. "Warning! Airlock hatch is now open!" said an automated voice. A red light bathed over the group as Specter said,"Sorry but Hyde wanted anything that could stop his master plan dead. I need to  make sure this comes true and well, I don't like you human.".

Shocked by what was going to happen, Atem turned to his sisters. "No matter what happens next and well, I love you guys." said Atem. Uriel and Zoey floated over and hugged Atem. "Us too!" said Uriel with Zoey nodding. The airlock hatch twisted counter clockwise before it opened up. The room's oxygen blasted out and sending the six tumbling outwards into space with all of them screaming. The Phantom watched all of this with a smile. 

With a job completed, he floated back into the space shuttle and it docked into the transition hatch for the Tiberius Colony. "Exterior airlock is closed. Begin pressurizing." said the automated voice. On the outside of the space station, Atem and Brimstone grabbed onto the outside of the station. Atem was holding his sibling's hands tightly with him preventing them from floating away. Brimstone had his tendrils wrapping around Lynx and Sly. 

Atem gently placed Uriel and Zoey onto the metallic structure with Atem's bandages wrapped around their waist even though their suits would keep them attached to the metal. "Okay. Lets never do that again." said Uriel. "Agree!" said the two older siblings. Brimstone looked at Lynx and Sly with the latter glaring at him. "What?" said Brimstone. "Why did you save us?" said Sly. "Which we're thankful for by the way." said Lynx.

Brimstone sighed as he said,"Because I wanted to. I'm not a fan of dying out in space. So while I may be able to stuck onto the ship thanks to my suit's magnetic grip. I'm pretty sure that it won't last if we stay out here. We need to find a way into the station fast. Oh and do you mind working together to take down the Phantom? I was already going to betray them because Hyde's master plan is fucked up and his last plan wasn't that much better.". "You know about his last plan?" said Zoey.

The villain nodded as he said,"Of course I do. I mean it's Annihilation Day. That day along with the Massacre told every villain not to fuck with Legion Zero. I mean he could into that god form of his and snap you out of existence. I'm not that big of an idiot to mess with Zero like that and losing my free will isn't something I'm too big on.". "Fine. Lets move." said Atem. The group walked the outside hull of the space station.

As this was going on, the blue glow of the Earth and white glow of the moon glowed beautifully in the empty black void of space. Back on Earth, Zane was in his hiding spot and waited for the right moment for him to strike. "Okay, It's showtime." thought Zane. Crisis Judgement went off as the fridge's door was ripped open by Paradai's strength and the Kruxod glared at him. "I finally found you damn rat." said Paradai.

Trying Cole's suggestion, Zane said,"Hey there you. How about you join up with me and my family since well, I hate to be that being but Hyde betrays people. I mean he did leave behind Chimera and Rocco to die in Savadran while he came back to the Prime Dimension. I can see the future and you'll be there or the Infinite Void if you keep working for him.". "No." said Paradai with him grabbing Zane by his right wrist and tossed him into the open. 

Zane landed on the ground with him saying,"Next time, we're not trying to appeal to his good side Cole.". "Hey! It was worth a try." said Cole. Zane looked up to see the Brandsa/Phantom Cross Species staring down at him. "You know my master plan now don't you Zane? I'll be the ruler of Earth and have an army of metahumans at my command." said Hyde. "You really want to be a ruler of something? I bet you were mad when I become king of Terrarune." said Zane.

Hyde chuckled as he said,"I was but then I heard about the Massacre. You were so fun to watch suffer as being the one reasonable for those girls who you love you die because of you treating your opponent lightly is always funny.". Zane clenched his teeth as he said,"Fine then. You forced my hand. You may have the power of a Qlakrik or Brandsa now but you still have your Phantom weakness after all! Fierce Sol!". 

Zane create the sphere within second and threw it fightat Hyde, completely cover him within the explosion. Hyde screamed with him flying away. "It seems that Primordial and you don't go together whatsoever now huh?" said Zane with a smile. "Master now! You'll pay for your disrespect toward the future king of Earth!" shouted Paradai. He slammed both fists into the ground with this sending a huge wave of orange lightning toward him.

The ground around Zane cracked and fell apart. Zane fell to the ground below with him plummeting into the abyss and made Paradai think he killed Zane. However, Zane had floated up to the catwalk and he was behind Paradai. "And here I though he was an idiot. I guess I should reward him for being such a good lackie. Worthy Arrow!" thought Zane. He threw a giant molten gold energy arrow at Paradai and the explosion sent flying into a generator. 

It was trapped and was twitching in pain with orange lightning became coming out of him in several waves. He was out cold with Zane saying,"And that's the end of that awful chapter since someone can't handle a little voltage and energy respectively. I need to get into outer space and fast before I lose them. Time to go Gadget Turbo Form!". He turned into a fusion of Gadget Form and Turbo Form, with it being called Gadget Turbo Form.

He looks like a metallic reptile humanoid with him being 7 feet tall and has a muscular fame. His body is primarily black with a metallic sheen. He has six emerald green circuitry/scale like patterns etched across his arms, chest, and legs. His head is in the shape of a dome and it’s a black color. It looks like a space helmet with his eye shape being two black motorcycle goggle lenses. He has noticeable green eyes which stuck out.

He has a longhorn ,with it being like a Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle, sticking out of his head with two gold thin horns which works as eyebrows and are in the shape of thunderbolts. His neck has a set of gills on them. He has two crest-like shapes on his shoulders. Both legs are bent right at the knee and straightened at the thigh. He's missing a finger and toe, making him have four fingers and toes. His feet and hands are webbed.

He has two emerald green wings that are under his arms. The flaps of his wings stretch down to his tail and has large sharp blades attached to the end of them. The front side of his wings have a black zigzag like pattern being that the patagrim of his wings are a burgundy color. He has a lizard like tail sticking out of his body with the tip of his tail He's wearing a black jumpsuit with a single dark red stripe ,in the shape of a thunderbolt, down the center of the jumpsuit.

It has an opening for his tail and wings. He wears a black and white cape that covers the back of his wings along with the top part of his chest. He wears very noticeable black, red, and white fingerless gauntlets and toeless boots on him. The former of which goes from his wrists to halfway up his elbows. Before he could blast off, Crisis Judgement went off. Zane turned to see Paradai pulling himself from the wreckage of the generator and he had a huge piece of wreckage attached to him.

The Kruxod glared at Zane with him saying,"You're not leaving here alive Alvarez!". He began charging at him with Zane saying in a robotic voice,"Can't you just leave me alone man?! Because I want to leave you right now! So respect my wishes! Turbo!". As he talked, his eye glowed. He made a giant rocket engine come out of his back with him shooting off into the air. Dust and smoke generated from the rocket.

It took off blasting right through the metallic structure of the decaying building. Once Zane broke through the last layer of the junkyard, the being quickly entered the cloud level of the sky and Crisis Judgement went off. "Yeah. I don't need you to tell me about him since he's more annoying than a little bug." said Zane. Paradai was danging on the rocket at the bottom before Zane sighed. "So how about you buzz off like your master?! Turbo!" said Zane.  

Zane increased his speed with Paradai roaring. He generated more orange electricity that shocked Zane for a second. Before the attack could do any serious damage, Paradai was blasted with a massive energy beam and it stunned him. This caused him to let go of the rocket and thanks to the machine attached to his back, it turned into a rocket that went after Zane. "Oh come on! Why won't he leave us alone! He really needs to get the hint." said Kane. 

Sivarth said,"You know Zane's enemies Kane. They're easily on a very close level of stubborn to  Zane.". "Zane may be stubborn but so is everyone on Team Legion Zero." said Athena as Zane blasted Paradai once again. Back in space, Atem, Brimstone, Lynx, Sly, Uriel, and Zane were climbing up the ladder across the outside hull of the Tiberius Colony. Atem couldn't help himself looked back down at the Earth also known as the big blue marble.

Atem smiled as he thought,"Huh. You never really noticed it but Earth is really smart and I bet the always expanding Omniverse makes this planet smart.". "Hey Atem. Is there a way inside?" said Lynx as Atem floated past her. "If I remember right, there should be a manual access override panel around here somewhere." said Atem. "Hold on a second. You seem like you know about space kid even though I'm pretty sure that this is your first time up here." said Brimstone.

The mummy nodded as he said,"I always wanted to explore space ever since I was a little kid and well, I want to explore it not just for myself but for others. Humans need to see the amazing interstellar beauty.". He looked up with him noticed a door that led inside the space station alongside with a manual access override. "Here we go. Now lets inside." said Atem with the group behind him nodding. 

Inside of the Tiberius Colony, the base was devoid and empty of life. It only had Specter floating toward the rector door and opened the door. His chest opened up, revealing the six pieces of Reilurite that Hyde needed for their place. He placed the crystal inside of the reactor for the colony with him hearing the automated voice,"Warning. Unknown element detected in reactor core!". The reactor core glowed orange and Specter watched the crystals in the reactor.

Glance up, Specter watched as the Reilurite powered up the Tiberius Colony with the entire space station having an eerie orange glow. The central satellite array on the outside of the station began moving toward Cross Falls. "Target in range. Beginning transmission in five, four, three, two...." said the automated voice due to the Phantom aiming the satellite array downwards. Specter was blasted away from the control k by a combination of fire and lightning.

The Phantom was stunned with him getting wrapped in ink tendrils. He turned to see Brimstone and Sly standing there with the Phantom glaring at them. "Transmission aborted." said the automated voice since no one was operating the control panel. "Do you honestly think that your ink can stop me?" said Specter. He fired out grayish red Nether from his eyes, destroying the ink tendrils. He was unable to attack anymore due to him getting blasted in the face by green Nether and dark pink Mojo.

Uriel and Zoey stood there with Atem jumping over them and aimed his bandages toward him. The Phantom was wrapped in them and Atem slammed the Phantom into the wall hard with Lynx freezing Specter. The ice prison didn't last for it as it began cracked. At the exact same time, Zane had been trying to get rid of Paradai for a while who didn't leave him alone. "Just leave already! Nobody likes you not even your mom!" said Zane. 

Paradai glared at him as he said,"You will not stop the master plan!". The Kruxod threw a fist at Zane who blocked it. The two began brawling with Zane charging up another energy beam from his eyes and this beam was going to be gigantic. They were reaching the Tiberius Colony with Zane saying with a smile,"Well bye. Turbo!". He flew faster with him landing on the outside of the colony and saw Paradai flying toward him.

Zane smiled with him saying,"I would say that it would be bad to see you go but honestly, I don't like too much.". He fired the massive energy beam with it connected with the Kruxod and sent the alien into the depths of the Solar System. Once Paradai was gone, Zane turned around and noticed his home planet below him. "Even though I go into space just to get be alone, I'll never stop admiring how beautiful Earth is. No wonder why the Omniverse is centered around it." said Zane. 

The Cross Species turned into Mummy Form with him turning into bandaged and slip through the very small cracks of the station. Inside of the space station, Zane appeared with him seeing Specter fighting against his friend, kids, and partner plus the ink metahuman. "Zero?!" said Atem and Zoey with Zane smiling. "I'm back!" said Zane with him blasting Specter with his staff and it fired out a steel gray energy beam.

Specter was pushed back with Brimstone saying,"I got it! Lets give the samurai a taste of his own medicine!". Lynx nodded as she dived over to the airlock and activated it. Specter shook his head as he looked up to see Atem and Sly punching the Phantom. This sent him flying into the airlock with him slamming against the wall. Uriel and Zoey fired their energy with the energy turned into chains upon leaving their bodies.

The chains connected to Specter's body with him saying,"Do you think this can stop me?! I won't be stopped so prepare to....". He was stopped from doing anything as a Negation Collar went around his neck. "I always come prepared." said Zane. Everyone regroup together floating in zero-g space with Zane saying,"So I think all of you are okay but why is he not with everyone's least favorite samurai in the airlock?".   

Sly looked at Zane with her saying,"He saved my and Lynx's life after Specter tried to throw us into outer space.". "Okay. That explains why he said that you should give him a taste of his own medicine. Clever. You're good with me." said Zane. "Seriously? You forgive me that easy." said Brimstone. "Of course he did. You haven't tried to kill us for a while not and that makes you our ally for now." said Zoey.

Brimstone shrugged as Zane deactivated Mummy Form. He was floating in the middle of the air with him saying,"You know. I should be use to zero-g since I can manipulate gravity but I'm not. Weird isn't it?". "So are you okay Zero? I mean we were doing pretty well by ourselves." said Uriel. "Of course you guys were. I mean I trust you guys and well, things kinda went to hell whenever I don't treat a serious situation with absolute seriousness." said Zane.

Lynx nodded as she said,"I may not know what happened to you back then but I promise to assist you in your goal from here on since you saved me from being alone.". The station began shaking with Brimstone saying,"Hold. I thought things were going good.". The central satellite array began glowing orange once again before the automated voice said,"Target re-acquired.". Zane slowly turned around with him seeing the control level moving by itself.

Hyde reappeared from thin air with him smiling. "So did he always look like this?" said Uriel. "No. I think he got even uglier and I can sense the Carnal coming out of him in waves. He's much stronger than Blaze was." said Sly. "I never met the boss before now but after seeing him, I don't regret leaving him." said Brimstone. "How did you get Hyde?! I thought I sent you to the after afterlife since I blasted you with enough Primordial to make a nuke look like a firework!" said Zane. 

The evil Cross Species laughed as he said,"Do you really think I'll let you escape from me my dear Zero? I hitched a ride on my minion's rocket and I can survive a lot of damage. After I kill you my boy, I think I'll kill your children next.". "Children? Huh. I didn't see Zero as a father but he could work as one." thought Brimstone. "You can threaten me all you want but in no way will you harm my children!" said Zane with his eyes glowing red. "Perhaps but you're too late!" said Hyde.

Said orange beam fired from the station's satellite and went toward the Earth. It hit the homemade satellite receiver in Cross Falls where Brimstone was waiting for it. Said being hit a series of buttons on the machine which made the orange beam split in half. The two beams fired back up into space before each beam hit a Satellite and reflected at the Tiberius. The huge beam reflected down to Earth and having a catastrophic effect on the planet.

As the Reilurite spread across the globe, the sunlight was reflected off with the clear blue sky. It was slowly vanishing from sight and getting replaced with a thick orange hazy cloud. As the cloud began to spread, Blackjack smiled at the plan working. The nasty effects of the Reilurite began and no one was spared from the Brandsa/Phantom's master plan. The planet's ecosystem was destroyed since the wildlife populations went insane and dozens of plants struggled to survive.

In various cities and towns across the globe, the Reilurite blast affected the humans as their metagenes activate and they changed into mutants in a similar fashion to Wade's mutation but they had noticeable plant like frills growing out of their back and two bull like horns. As the Reilurite spread across the planet, Earth was obscured and became a dark orange planet that had a sinister glow that projected into space. 

Chuckling loudly, Hyde smiled as he said,"And all hope is gone! Terrans are gone and in their place, mutated metahumans are mine to rule!". "Hey Athena. Can you shut down the laser at all or maybe change its effect to have the metas back on Earth fight against the mutants." said Zane. "I can do that. Just keep ugly busy." said Athena. "So why did we let Hyde do that?!" said Zoey. "Earth is a Reilurite mutated hell." said Atem.

Uriel looked at her older siblings with her saying,"Don't give up! I bet Zero is planning on a way to turn Earth back to normal!'. As the group gathered around the control panel, Hyde glared at Zane and he knew that taking him out was a priority. Hyde floated over to the airlock, opening it and slicing the collar off Specter who smiled. Crisis Judgement went off as Hyde looked at Specter. "Take care of the others. Zero is mine!" said Hyde.

Specter nodded as he released grayish red Nether tendrils which wrapped around the group except for Zane who dodged it. They struggled to escape with Zane just glaring at Hyde and not saying a word about the situation. "Let me see. What should I do with all of you?" said Hyde. Before Hyde could say anything, Zane looked at him and he said,"Leave them alone Hyde. This is between the two of us and you know it.". His tone screamed angry.

Hyde floated up to him with him saying,"So you finally get it but I promise the skull I would kill you instead of using your body to make all of your friends suffer if they aren't already. Just imagine it. You'll be responsible for their death alongside those girls since you refuse to fight that woman seriously.". "Say whatever you want but I'm not going to let you use my emotions against me." said Zane.     

This statement confused Hyde with him saying,"Impossible. My carnal should be remind you of your failings and increase your anger. You shouldn't be so calm.". "That may be true but right now, I'm focusing my anger on taking you down since I've grown up a lot since then.". "Enough! I will deal with you later." said Hyde. "I hate to be that girl but how about you get rid of your former ally's space suit and sent him into outer space. I mean it's so cold." said Sly.

Brimstone glared right at her as Hyde said,"Good idea! Remove his suit!". Specter did that with Brimstone saying,"Thanks. I know that you hate me for trying to kill me but sending me to my death because of that. Really villainous.". "Oh no. Whatever shall we do? We're at your mercy." said Uriel with Hyde glared at him. "Silence girl! You shall..... What's that energy?!" said Hyde. While Hyde was distracted, Zane began casting a spell in Liasada.

Zane's hands and tattoo glowed as he said,"Release my allies and learn your place.". Specter's tendrils vanished which released the group and the Phantom was slowly unable to move thanks to his body's nervous system shutting down. He couldn't move, hear, or see anything as he floated there. "You used Animus didn't you brat?!" said Hyde. "Nope. It's Liasada. A huge difference." said Zane. "That's impossible. You must be a Impure." said Hyde. 

The superhero smiled as he said,"Nope. I'm a full blow Magnus and since our last fight, I got more than enough tricks to handle you! Lets do this!". He charged toward Hyde with Zane beginning to punch him and Hyde returned the favor. As the two were punching each other in the background, Brimstone looked at Sly with him saying,"So we're going to leave the most ugly ghost to Zero right?". "Yes we are. Me and Lynx will try to reverse the beam if possible." said Sly.

She looked at the computer monitor with her saying,"I think Athena is doing that but we'll keep them from stopping her.". "Okay. What about me and the kids?" said Brimstone. "Fighting the samurai once he starts moving again." said Lynx. "Ah. Good plan since well, I want him to pay for sending me into space." said Brimstone. Zane jumped back with him turning into Cyber Form. He crackled his neck with him saying,"It's showtime baby!". 

He charged toward Hyde with making a bright green energy broadsword and he sliced the distracted Specter with said sword. This attack send the samurai into the wall. Specter glared at him but before he could do anything, a dark pink Mojo construct dog bit down on his neck and the Phantom groaned out in pain. "Your fight is with us not him!" said Uriel with her siblings and the metahuman nodded. "You will regret saying that brat." said Specter. 

While that fight was going on, Hyde tried to slice Zane but he blocked the attack with his sword and cocked back his fist. He tried to punch Hyde in the chest but the former Zero turned intangible. "You really need to come up with a new trick." said Zane, smiling. Zane fired out a massive blast of bright green energy from his eyes, blinding the Phantom and causing him to fly back into a nearby wall next to Specter who got sent thanks to Brimstone's mammoth. 

Zane crackled his neck as he said,"You may be more powerful but still very predictable.". "You think you're so clever don't you Zero?" said Hyde. "Hey you said it not me." said Zane. "And you made his ego bigger. Thanks." said Atem. "Does he really have that big of an ego compared to Neurozap and some of these villains?" said Zoey. "That's true." said Atem. "Zane! The controls are locked out! I can't turn off the Reilurite beam!" said Athena.

Cole said,"But we were able to alter the beam to have any metahuman prior to today not being under Hyde's control. Good with the bad I guess.". Crisis Judgement went off as Hyde smiled and he held out his hands. "Like Primordial, Carnal can create so take this.". He made some Reilurite appear and handled it to Specter. "Thank you boss. Time for you to die traitor!" said Specter. He flew over to Brimstone and held the metahuman in grayish red Nether.

Brimstone groaned loudly with him saying,"Of course you had a way to get more of that stuff.". "You will be serving me once again in due time but better looking." said Hyde. The metahuman felt the mineral mutating him and his eyes began glowing red. "Get off me!" yelled Brimstone. He covered his entire body in fire with him turning into a tall, flaming skeleton with a devil like appearance. "Time for the flames of hell to rise baby!" said Brimstone. 

The heat that was coming off him caused Specter to let him go and Brimstone grabbed the Reilurite he was holding. "Time to end this mutation nightmare at least up here." said Brimstone, crushing the mutating rock. "What?! How did you?" said Hyde. "Sorry but I'm pretty sure that your master plan has some serious flaws in it." said Brimstone. The two Phantoms phased out the room with Zoey saying,"Wow. That was so cool. Did you know that would work?". 

Brimstone shrugged as he said,"No idea. I just had to try something and it worked.". "So do you know what's going on Earth?" said Lynx. "Hyde's plan was to mutate all humans and turned them into his metahuman slaves. He would have gained the metahumans as servants as well but the ones prior to the Metahuman Revolution are free to do whatever they want. They'll protect the Earth so lets take down the ugly duo up here." said Zane.

Sly nodded as she said,"Love your little speech but what is the Metahuman Revolution?". "Oh. That was the name of Chimera's plan. Do you got a better name for it?" said Zane. The two talked as Brimstone looked at Lynx. "Don't look at me. I just joined their group. This is normal for these two apparently." said Lynx. "I'll take your word for it." said Brimstone. Back on Earth or to be more specific Chicago Illinois, Jason aka Nitro was fighting for his life.

He had been rapidly blocked the repeated blows of a mutated citizen since the mutant army had surrounded him. The speedster kicked one in the face, sending it back. "So does anyone have any idea on what the hell happened?!" yelled Jason. He turned to his cousin and his uncle who just punched two mutants back in unison. "No idea cuz but I'm going to test a guess and say that it's because of our new orange sky." said Sabrina.

Jason sighed as he said,"That's what I figured but I expected there to be more of a reason since I'm not a big fan of socking innocent people like the guy who makes the best hot dogs here in Chicago!". He cold cocked a mutant into a building with Nina holding several mutants in the air. "So how come we were not affected?" said Nina. She made a giant ice barrier around them as the mutants got closer to them and their numbers didn't seem to shrunk in the slightest.

Back in New Orleans, Chad grunted. "I come down here to see my old friend but no. I get stuck fighting mutants here." said Chad as several mercury spears pierced a group of mutants. The pierced mutants was swept away by Triton who manipulate a fountain's nearby water. "To be fair, this beats fighting nazis." said Triton. "Not really your highness. I don't feel bad at murdering those scumbags since I can smell that they were innocent." said Chad.

The two were about to be attacked by some mutants but those specific mutants were shot in their legs by Alyssa. "Focus you two. We just have to keep them busy until he saves the day." said Alyssa. "I like the guy and all but do you think he can do this on his own?" said Chad. He punched a mutant into ten others, causing a strike. "He is a Magnus and those beings were able to perform miracles plus he's the next Warrior except for the entire Omniverse instead of Earth." said Triton.

Back on the space station, Zane aimed his right hand at the machine and slowly began charging up energy. "Stand back gang. I think if we can't shut it down one way, we should do it a more destructive wave!" said Zane. Crisis Judgement went off as Hyde appeared behind him and grabbed Zane by his body's tentacles. They become intangible as they began sinking right through the floor and Uriel said,"Dad!".

She was stopped by Zane with him saying,"If Hyde wants a fight, he has one!". The two were gone and emerged on the outside of the Tiberius colony. Hyde flew into the air with him saying,"Unlike you Zane, I become stronger with a lack of sunlight and you can't defeat me! Think of this as my true self!". Zane noticed that Hyde's Carnal like hair, the Carnal at the end of his tentacles, and the Carnal spikes were more prominent.

Crisis Judgement went off as Zane jumped back to avoid a punch from Hyde but was grabbed by his tentacles and threw Zane into a wall. Zane shook his head with him seeing Hyde's single eye glaring at him. "Okay Hyde. You want me to go serious on you. Fine. You got it. I need you to pay for your crimes when you were alive and dead!" said Zane. He turned toward the transmitter and the orange colored Earth.

Hyde noticed this with him saying,"You'll stay away from the transmitter child!". "Sorry but I'm not longer that child. I'm a hero now!" said Zane. He fired a gigantic bright green beam from his hands and Hyde countered said green beam with his red Carnal beam from his chest. The beams clashed as the Zeroes ,past and present, focusing on destroying the other. While those two were distracted, the clamps holding the SS Antioch deactivated before the rocket took off.

Inside of the rocket, Atem piloted the rocketship and went bast the Tiberius Colony on his own. "I got this!" said Atem. He noticed something bleep on the radar with him saying,"Okay. I don't think dad is going to be happy about this.". A ruined and on fire rocket was flying toward him. Glancing at the rocket ship, Atem noticed that Paradai was on fire and had a rocket engine coming out of his back. It looked painful. 

The two rocket ships crashed into each other with Atem struggling to remove Paradai from the SS Antioch. "I'm pretty sure that no other astronaut had to deal with something like this. I'm so lucky not!" said Atem. Both rocks pulled and pushed against each other as Hyde and Zane smashed their fists into the other face. Both of them gritted their teeth as their impact was creating an explosion of black lightning with a crimson red outline.

It was the sign of a Eazairvian and Qlakrik/Brandsa fighting. Inside of the Tiberius Colony, Blackjack smashed Specter's head into the back of Zoey's energy blast that she had fired earlier. Lynx and Sly were trying to deactivate the control panel. "Hey Sly. I have an idea. Want to hear it?" said Lynx. She whispered something into the Akostar's ear and the dragon smiled. "Good idea. Stand back." said Sly as her hands were covered in electricity.

The Dragon karate chopped the panel, causing it to sparkle with electrical energy and was sent flying toward Specter. "Sly! Watch out!" said Zoey. Sly smiled as she turned around and punched the samurai directly in the face. Specter groaned as he took the damage like it was nothing. "So do you guys got any idea?" said Uriel. Lynx noticed a door with her saying,"Maybe K-9. Just keep him busy for now!".

Specter held his sword and charged toward them but was getting grabbed by several flaming ink like tendrils coming from Brimstone. "Like that don't you? Now you three!" said Brimstone. The trio of Sly, Uriel, and Zoey firing electricity, dark pink Mojo, and green Nether at Specter who growled at the three types of Impulse hitting him. Lynx opened up the door with him seeing that it was a toilet and she had an idea. "Sorry. I got to use the little girls room." said Lynx.

The alien floated inside of the door with Specter getting annoyed. He ignored the four others and went to the bathroom. Lynx turned around to see the door having a bunch of dents on it due to Specter's impressive strength. It broke and crumple it. "I know that you're a bad guy but doesn't occupied mean anything to you?!" said Lynx. Specter ignored her and tried to strike her but she slid under him. "As Zero says, it's time for you to learn your place! Sly!" said Lynx.

Lynx and Sly jumped up together and directly kicked the samurai toward the toilet. Part of his body got stick in the toilet and began getting sucked out into outer space. "Damn you all!" roared Specter as Zoey waved him goodbye. "Oh wow. That looked painful but he had it coming." said Brimstone as Uriel and Zoey high-five each other. Lynx and Sly looked at each other with Lynx saying,"Thanks for having my side Sly. You're a great girl.". "Um thanks." said Sly. 

Back outside, Zane flew back and evaded a red energy blast from Hyde with the robot countering with a green energy beam back. They had another energy beam clash. "Every second you waste fighting me, I'm sure that your friends will fall to MY meta mutants! It'll be a pleasure to have you rip the beings that you swore to protect to die by your hands again!" cackled Hyde. "He's kinda right Zane. We should end this now!" said Kane.

Zane agreed with the Vulcorian with him glowing bright purple. Zane was now twelve feet tall. He’s a large humanoid robotic superhero like figure with a heroic looking frame. His arms, legs, and shoulders are now a crimson red color while his feet, hands, and torso are still black. His helmet ,still matching his feet, hands, and torso in its color, is highly reflective with his “eyes” is now two bright strips of crimson red lights which goes all around the helmet, making an “X” shape. 

It gives off the impression of eyes being that it blinks. It has been called creepy and in a permanent scowl. He loses the tubes over his chest. His wings are gone. Zane's energy beam grew in size with it sending Hyde back and it burned Hyde. "Lets go Cyber Prime! Even in outer space, I can still smell the burning flesh of my least favorite Phantom." said Zane. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane flew back to avoid several grayish red Nether tendrils from a dazed Specter.

The Phantom glared at Zane with him wiping out the blood from his mouth. "Those fools inside will pay for them insulting me like this." said Specter. He flew over to Hyde with Hyde saying,"And now our fight is over!". Hyde and Specter each other fired out an energy beam with Zane countering them with his own energy beam. This clash would have made the signature lightning that appeared when a Eazairvian and Qlakrik fight but it wasn't a physical clash.

Back with Atem, the SS Antioch rocket pasted them with Atem more focused on getting rid of Paradai rather than enjoying the energy beam clash that was straight of a cartoon. "I really don't like how annoying you're being!" said Atem. "Now you know how I felt when I fought him on my way here Atem. Totally thought he hit the sun earlier by the way." said Zane's voice coming from the dashboard. 

Atem looked down as he said,"Dad? Do you really have time to focus on me rather than the two you're fighting?". "You're right so I need you to do me a favor. Stop the beam from firing its ray into the Earth. You got this right?" said Zane. "Yep! I won't let you down since you've done so much for me and the others." said Atem, smiling. He twisted the shuttle around to face the satellite transmitter. 

From the cockpit, Atem flicked a level and this deactivated the SS Antioch's rocket thrusters. Once the rocket ship stopped move, Paradai slammed into it and sent both of them into the satellite transmitter. It exploded. The Tiberius Colony began to shake with Hyde turning around to see this and he roared out in anger. "That's my boy for you. I think I still need to go Astral Form after this but to add insult to injury, lets bring you some physical pain." said Zane.

Zane covered his left arm within his signature flames and inside of those flames, there is something hidden. Inside of the flames, Zane's fist is covered in a sphere of lightning. "Thunder Hellfire Emperor Vivid Discharge!" said Zane. He tossed a giant sphere of fire and lightning toward Hyde and Specter, causing a explosion of fire and thunder upon contact. The two Phantom loudly screamed in pain as rubble and debris floated off the Tiberius Colony.

The transmitter deactivated and the Reilurite beam shut down. With the beam now gone, the cloud of the mineral vanished across the planet and the rays for the sun returned back to Earth after vanishing for a few moments. Earth's ecosystem returned back to normal with plants returned back to life and the animals went back to normal. All of the mutated humans went back to normal with no idea what happened to them but their metagenes were still activate.

As the orange beam flew back toward Earth, it hit the satellite receiver in Cross Falls where Blackjack was. The transceiver stopped working and sparking. "Oh hell no. I'm not staying around for this shit!" said Blackjack. He was going to jump away from the transceiver exploding but he couldn't move whatsoever. "Sorry furball but you're dying here today." said a voice. Brood appeared with the werewolf's eyes widening. 

Blackjack growled with him saying,"What are you doing?! Don't you understand what's going to happen to us if we stay here?!". He tried to move but couldn't. "Yeah but honestly, I need him to get stronger allies and your death will be how he gets them." said Brood. Blackjack was thrown into the side of the transceiver with the werewolf being strapped to it by blue fire chains. Despite being able to control fire himself, these chains were burning him. "Bye bye furball." said Brood.

He disappeared in blue fire. The transceiver exploded, taking the canyon with it and the werewolf with it. As the explosion cleared, Brood stood there on the remaining part of the canyon and watched the Amulet of Amarok fly into the distance. "So what makes you so sure that this was the right choice to make Master?" said Brood to himself. He was quiet as Brood said,"Understood. I'll keep going on our mission.". The metahuman was gone. 

Back in space. "So how does it feel to lose again?" said Zane, smirking. "You'll pay for doing this Alvarez!" said Hyde, firing a energy beam at Zane. "To be fair, you should be blaming Pierre not me. You could blame my kid but who crashed into the transmitter? That's right. The bad doctor did." said Zane, flying back and making it hit Specter. Zane flew toward Hyde with him cocking his fist back. "Zenith Punch!" said Zane, covering his fist in green energy.

This punch hit Hyde in the face so hard that some of his teeth went flying out of his mouth. "So are you ready to give up? Your plan is finished!" said Zane. "I won't lose to you ever again!" said Hyde as he flew away and formed next to Specter. Paradai appeared with Zane saying,"So how does it feel to be the guy who messed his master's plan? I would feel pretty bad if I was in your really clunky shoes.". 

Paradai glared at him with him saying,"We will never stop until you and your allies are dead!". He kneeled down and activated the portal generator. "Oh right. You still have that. Kinda forgot about that." said Zane. He ducked as an energy blast went above him and it formed a portal to a familiar looking void. "The Infinite Void?! What are you doing you fool?!" said Hyde. He and his allies were being dragged into the portal.

Zane smiled as he said,"Bye bye samurai.". He aimed his hand and formed a gun. He fired out a bright green energy beam and this sent the samurai flying toward the portal. "Damn you Alvarez and Paradai!" said Specter as he was gone. "Oh well. I guess I should go after minion number 2 before I go after the big boss." said Zane. He turned toward Paradai who was hanging onto a piece of debris and the Kruxod groaned.

Paradai looked at Zane with him saying,"Impossible. The plan was supposed to succeed! It was three plus years in the making!". "Sorry but news flash. Even the best made plan will fail especially if that plan involves hurting innocent beings. Have fun in the Infinite Void!" said Zane, blasting Paradai's piece of rubble. This sent him flying into the portal and the Kruxod cursed Zane out before vanished. 

Once the portal was gone, Zane landed on the space station and took a breath of relief. "And with that, you're going down Hyde." said Zane. The robot looked around to see that Hyde was gone with him sighing. "Just my luck. He ran again. I should be able to track him by his Impulse." said Zane as Crisis Judgement went off. A massive explosion went off and it shook the Tiberius Colony with several explosions following suit.

The automated voice,"Warning! Hull interior comprised! This facility will explode in t-minus sixty seconds.". "Oh shit. Lynx! Sly! Uriel! Zoey! The guy with the super powered tattoes!" said Zane as he flew into the space station and entered the airlock. Once inside, Zane saw the interior was bright red with the five floating in the middle of the air among rubble and debris. "We need to get out of here!" said Brimstone. "We could if we could contact Osiris." said Uriel.

Lynx nodded as she said,"Yeah and you may need to go back to normal. I mean I doubt the space ship can handle someone of your size.". "I will once I get a space suit since unlike the rest of you, I can't breath in outer space! We're going to die in this inferno!" said Blackjack. The giant skeleton was freaking out with Zoey saying,"You really need to calm down. I mean you're supposed to be an adult right?".

Brimstone glared at her with him saying,"I would if I have a way to escape but I don't!". "The module is able to depressurize! So quit your complaining!" said Zane. He tossed Brimstone a space suit as Brimstone went back to normal. Zane covered them in a massive energy bubble just as the Tiberius Colony's wall cracked. The five ended up out in space with the space station blew up in a giant explosion which was visible from explosion.  

In the aftermath of the Tiberius Colony exploding, huge chunks of rubble and debris began floating out into space and in Earth's orbit. Some of the rubble and debris plunged down toward Earth with it crashing down toward Florida and the Atlantic Ocean. Following the explosion, Brimstone looked down. "So are we going to be floating space forever? I mean I like you guys but I prefer solid ground and air more." said Brimstone. 

Before someone could answer him, the SS Antioch appeared with Atem saying,"So do you guys need a lift?". "Yes please!" said Brimstone. Ten minutes later, the rocket ship flew back to Earth. Atem and Sly sat in the front from Brimstone, Lynx, Uriel, Zane, and Zoey in the back with Zane standing due to there being only six seats. "Mission accomplished. I guess saving the Earth totally beats ruling it right?" said Brimstone.

Zoey nodded as she said,"Yep! We become astronauts and saved the planet from Hyde.". "But we owe this success to our future mummy astronaut. Way to go Atem." said Sly. "Thank you. I was just doing my job as a hero." said Atem, blushing. "Sly. You're wrong. Big bro would be an astromummy right?" said Uriel. Lynx turned back to Zane ,who had deactivated Cyber Prime, and he had been quiet for a while. "Is something wrong?" said Lynx.

The Cross Species looked at her as he said,"Yeah. Things have changed on Earth since humanity is gone with metahumans replacing them.". "Meaning what exactly?" said Atem. Before Zane could answer him, Zane was grabbed by black tentacles and they heard,"I can still rule this world so you haven't succeeded yet!". Hyde appeared with him taking himself and Zane toward the back of the ship. "Zero!  Dad! Daddy!" shouted Atem, Brimstone, Lynx, Uriel, Sly, and Zoey. 

Zane didn't try to escape Hyde's grip and he glared at Hyde. "You've only delayed my plan instead of ending it like you thought Zane! I have full control over the power I was granted by Skull Plague and nothing you or the Alliance can do to stop me!" said Hyde. Zane headbutted Hyde in the face, sending the Phantom back. Zane cracked his neck with him saying,"Sorry but you need a serious tan Hyde. Activate Code 07-130-P. Password: Slayer Netstorm Experion.". 

The Cross Species turned into Astral Form with him making a mini sun appear and Hyde screamed in pain. "Make it stop!" said Hyde as it began melting his skin and cellular structure. Zane was quiet with him thinking,"No. I can do this without resorting to that emotional state.". Despite his power, he still had a weakness toward light with Hyde saying,"I will return Zane! And you'll die!". He turned into ash and Zane sighed.

He aimed his hand at the sun with Zane turning the sun into an vacuum cleaner, sucking up only the ash of the Phantom. "Sorry not sorry. I won't send you there again but into a place with some more company. If you try and escape, I'll stop you." said Zane with him making the vacuum cleaner aim its content into the Infinite Void. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane heard a automated voice,"System error! All systems failing! Prepare for emergency landing!".

Zane floated back into the cockpit with Brimstone's eyes widened upon seeing Zane. He didn't noticed that the metal around the front of SS Antioch peeling away. "We took too much damage when I rammed the Transmitter! This ship is breaking up!" said Atem. "So can't you do something big bro?!" said Uriel. "Nope!" said Atem. "Um. You guys." said Sly. "What are we going to do?! I don't want to die!" said Brimstone as he began to panic loudly.

The glass window began cracking and failing. "Hang on. I'll get you guys to safety." said Zane as the SS Antioch fell apart. As the SS Antioch disintegrated into huge rubble and chunks of debris that went toward the Earth, Zane and the others appeared inside of a huge circular crater. "Okay. That was amazing. The Eazairvians are really impressive.". "So I think someone is happy about being on Earth again." said Sly.

Brimstone was kissing the Earth with Zoey saying,"And here I thought your geeking out was the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen.". "Didn't my geeking out save our lives how many times sister?" said Atem. The two glared at each other with Uriel sighing. "You two. Please stop fighting. I think this is just the start for Earth's first mummy astronaut right?" said Uriel. "Yep." said Atem with a big smile on his face. "So did we win? I mean you ending Hyde right Zero?" said Zoey.

Zane looked at her as he said,"I did but well, I don't think this is the last I'll be seeing him. He died once before but he came back with a vengeance. I'm sure we'll be ready for him and Skull Plague won't be happy about his latest deal failing.". "So where are we exactly?" said Brimstone. His eyes slowly widened as he saw the Eiffel Tower in the distance of them. "You warped us to France?!" said Brimstone.

The Cross Species shrugged as he said,"Well, I'm sorry but I was kinda busy at the time. I had to change back all of the changed metahuman to humans since they became metahumans by choices not by an ugly son of bitch. I had to rebuilt both the rocket ship and space station.". "So do you mind taking us back home? I think we can explore France another day." said Lynx. "You got it." said Zane as the the group warped back to Cypress Park. 

Later, Zane ,out of Astral Form, looked over Cypress Park and looked at his hands. "I may have killed those three but I don't regret it. They would have killed the people of Earth so I shouldn't feel bad about it. The PTSD may never leave me after Annihilation Day and the Massacre almost back to back. I got a bad case of survivor's guilt but I won't give up." said Zane. He heard a siren go off as he said,"I guess it's showtime.". He flew off being that the legacy of Legion Zero is just getting started.

Next time,
With Zane's roadtrip finally over, will things get easier or harder for him? If you know how life goes, the answer would be obvious. This and more next time on Zero!

Lynx's History, Power Description, and Personality: She’s a member of the Lazmond species or to be more specific, she’s the only being remaining in the Omniverse. The Lazmond species were pacifists and not even close to being fighters. Their species was wiped a long time long before the Alliance was formed and even before Skull Plague was born. The reason why they went extinct is due to one Qlakrik by the name of Salgor. Lynx barely escaped with her life being that she watched her planet and species be destroyed by a single being. She swore revenge on him being that she was going to find her and get her revenge on the being that killed everything she ever cared about. Her escape pod crashed in a dimension where there was no sapient life being only wild animals. She was forced to learn how to fight in order to survive being able to fight rather well but she wasn’t too sure how she would do against sapient life. She later met Kane or Xazzaran at the time after he saved her life from a couple of Eazairvian, Qlakriks, and Trastrys that had been fighting each other in the Omniverse war. The two then became close allies, fighting together and surviving against the Eazairvian and Qlakriks. To her, she sees Kane as an older brother figure and Kane sees her as a little sister. She and Kane was later cornered by a group of Qlakriks that were working under the Qlakrik who killed her race. She wanted revenge on the Qlakrik who killed her planet and species despite Kane wanting nothing to do it much to her shock. She was shocked that her brother wouldn’t help in her time of need but it was out of fear and worry for his sister. Kane knew how strong this Qlakrik really was due to him seeing him in action before he met Lynx. She could die and he didn’t want to lose one of his only friends. She left him in the middle of the night just after their fight without saying goodbye to her first real friend outside of her species. She later confront the Qlakrik being that the two fought each other with both of them wanting to kill the other. Said Qlakrik had the upper hand during the whole fight since he killed most of their kind without any resistance. Just before he could landed the finishing blow, he was interrupted by his men informing him that an army of Eazairvian soldiers are heading to their location. The Qlakrik left the area with him destroying the entire dimension just to make sure that the Lazmond species is dead with her. She survived by going into her stasis form being that she’s unable to take any damage however, she is unable to do anything until someone free her. She floated around the Omniverse being unable to do anything but watch as things change without her. She was later sent crashing landing toward the prime Earth being that she was seen as a shooting star to the prehistoric creatures that lived. She was buried deep in the ground somewhere in Traverse Groves, Washington and rested there for over 5,000 years. She was later found by a human with his two dogs being that this human is Zane Vincent Alvarez. Lynx didn’t know this at the time but he is the hundredth Zero and also sworn partner to Kane. However, Zane didn’t know about Lynx to begin with since he doesn’t like talking about the Omniverse War if it involves Lynx in any regards. Kane also didn’t know about the Lazmond’s stasis form but Zane could tell that this rock was different from all other earth rocks despite him having no idea of geology whatsoever. Zane later freed her being that she first hugged Zane, thinking that it was Kane due to the teen having Mojo like him before figuring out the truth. She was extremely embarrassed by this action with Zane not minding too much since he’s used to get hugging by girls. She was going to run away from Zane but she didn’t know how much the Omniverse had changed while trapped within the surface and she couldn’t move after all of this time being in her stasis form. Zane let her stay with her until she could regain her strength and she later joined Zane’s Team Maelstrom. Thanks to meeting Zane, she got to meet Kane once again when they returned to Cypress Park and Zane left them alone to reconnected. She can live inside of Elysian. She was able to do this by Zane accepting her as a member of his team and also the other beings inside of Elysian like her. She cares deeply for life being that she’ll fight anyone who dares to treat life as just a means to an end or killing just for the fun of it. Despite her past being quite tragic and haunting, she’s always up for a good time. Even during times of war, she was trying to convince Kane to have fun with and explore different dimensions together. She’s very observant and perceptive of others feelings but she was was unable to see why Kane didn’t want her to fight him She loves to fight being that according to Kane, this is her way of moving on from her past. When she joined Team Legion Zero and Maelstrom, she tends to be the peacemaker of the group being that she tries to stop Kane and Sivarth from fighting. She also gives anyone on the team her full support on a idea that they may have. She shows a strong sister/motherly side to Zane being that she’s very supporting of him being that she sees how good he is and he’s also part of the reason why she’s free to live her life. She likes to learn new things and once she’s free, she wants to learn more about what has happened in the time she’s been gone. She has a strong amount of willpower being that she was able to keep on fighting  the Qlakrik who killed her race even though she was clearly losing their fight. She loves to read and sleep being that she enjoys peace rather than fighting in a war. She also loves music more than anything being that’s how she and Zane got to be good friends. She treasures her friends being that she didn’t want to lose one of her friends. She can be a very suave romantic, often soft with her words and quite flirtatious toward Sly in particular being that she gets embarrassed which results in her getting teased by her friends mainly Zane much to the annoyance of Sly. Whenever she’s under a lot of stress or angered, she has a tendency to lose control and goes overboard much to the fear of others. When she’s mad, her eyes are reflective without pupils. She has incredible physical strength and durability being able to dent a car by just touching it with her finger. She’s able to jump longer and higher than even the most athletic beings in the Omniverse. She’s able to create and direct energy through her body being that it’s a bright emerald green color. It has several different applications to it. She’s able to firing energy blasts to hit foes from a distance which usually comes in the form of energy balls that explode upon contact. She can also light up any dark area that she’s in. She’s able to burn and freeze objects that she covers her energy with which includes her self. She’s able to alter her form being that she needs to constantly practice this ability to keep it going for long periods of time and can use this to her advantage in combat. She’s able to self-replicate being able to strike multiple enemies at the same time or hide from anyone chasing her. She’s able to walk up walls with ease. Her species gives her the ability to never age and doesn’t require air, food/drink, or sleep in order to survive. She can eat or sleep if she wants though. She’s able to talk with animals being that she has a strong love toward animal life despite her having to kill her. She has sharp claws that can easily slice through most objects with ease. Whenever her body gets seriously injuries, she goes into her stasis form and heals. When’s she mad, she doesn’t hold back. She’s unable to leave her status form unless someone with a good amount of energy in them can free her by touching her. She has a strong fear of drills. She’s scared of drills because that’s the only thing that can pierce her stasis form.

Silas: Silas Mercer is an enigma being that his actions have made him a bold and pragmatic man. He’s rather hard to red being that he manipulate people and has many classified, world changing secrets inside of his head. He has trouble trusting people being that the last time he trusted someone, he gained a permanent reminder of why he shouldn’t trust people. He’s very  cynical being that he’ll do whatever it takes to protect Earth and to always be prepared for any upcoming threat even if it involves making weapons of mass destruction and killing innocent people. He says that the world shouldn’t have its dirty laundry aired out for people to see and it’s his job to keep people unaware of the true evil it hides. He cares about human life and doesn’t treat people as pawns. He has knack for dry humor.  He’s a natural leader, master strategist and manipulator, and has immense charisma plus public speaking skills. He’s usually five steps ahead of everyone ,forming complex strategies, and has been called the most dangerous man on Earth. He’s highly skilled in espionage, stealth, disguise, and infiltration being able to enter high-security facilities without being detected. Despite not having any powers, he’s able to hold his own using several martial arts.  He can also use most firearms being that this can range from human to alien weaponry with ease. He carries his Alliance badge in his pocket. His badge itself is the size of a normal wallet being that it was made of soft, black leather. In the direct center of the badge, there is a shiny gold emblem of a pair of draconian wings attached to a pentagon shaped shield. Behind the shield, there are two crossed katanas. The tips of the two blades are being pointed downwards at a perfect 45 degree angle. Upon further look at the shield, the word "Protector of the Omniverse" was etched into the edge of the shield. In the center of the shield, there is an silver Ouroboros and in the center of the dragon/akostar eating its own tail, there is a bright silver A that constantly glow.

Bruce Jensen was born in Los Angeles, California into a family of Catholics and spend most of his childhood in the watchful, loving eye of his grandmother. His parents weren’t around much given how his father was in a local gang and his mother was part of the gang but didn’t go out on jobs like her husband’s job. His metagene developed when he was twelve years old being that he was being bulled by some kids whose parents or older siblings were in the same gang as his parents. His powers came out in the form of pyrokinesis but they slowly developed into something more powerful as he got older. He struggled to keep his powers a secret and curbed the temptation of using them. When he was sixteen, his parents found out. He was forced by his parents to use his powers by moving up the ranks in the gang by stealing cars, dealing drugs, and selling weapons. He was called Brimstone with him being indirectly responsible for the murder of twenty gang members ,with the gang being the angels, in West LA. Bruce got himself a girlfriend ,named Darla, with her being unaware of his family’s connection to the gang being that she was the daughter of the local police chief and was going to be an officer like her father. They were together for several months being that it was broken off after she saw a stash of money and a pair of pistols in Bruce’s closet. When confronted about this, Bruce told her that it belonged to his parents and she stormed off. Bruce lost his temper with him deciding to take it out on the gang who ruined his life. He stormed into their hideaway and engulfed the entire gang to ash, unwillingly killing undercover police officers within the gang and Darla’s father. He left California after that and he served the U.S. Marine Corps. After ten years with the service, he went missing and presumed dead after the helicopter he was rising exploded. He survived the explosion due to his powers which he kept hidden from everyone in case someone put it together and he found himself in some chemicals. Much to his shock, he wasn’t dying from them but his powers evolved. These chemicals granted him to create objects from his imagination thanks to the tattoos that cover his body. Using these new powers, he found himself back in the US and found out that his grandma was being forced to pay from the remnants of his parent’s gang being a hitman for them and anyone who required metahuman assistance. He’s rather withdrawn being that he does his job without questioning and people wonder if he can talk. Even with his powers, he never used them to his advantage being that he was studying to become an artist rather than a gang member like his parents. He tends to be rather hesitant to use his powers unless necessary. He has a soft side for his grandmother being that even though he couldn’t see her, she was always in his heart. He’s a devoted Catholic being that he always goes to Church on Sunday and doesn’t work on that day. He has the ability to generate and manipulate fire to a dangerous degree. His body is naturally 215 degrees. He can turn anything with his field of vision burn. He can make huge columns of fire or concentric blasts of fire being able to absorb fire to increase his strength. Due to his artist talent, he can make intricate designs out of flames. He’s rather strong being able to lift up a car with ease and can withstand a strong attack. He’s an effective combatant being trained at a young age on how to fight and his time in the marine core improved that training. He has a strong willpower and mental fortitude being able to break the control of a Phantom. He can speak Spanish and English fluently with him being a decent actor thanks to Darla. Due to the chemicals that covered his body, he’s able to create objects from his imagination thanks to the tattoos that cover his body. Whenever he uses this power, his body glow white and his eyes glow bright red. He can make a giant mammoth charge toward his opponents, breaking through any defenses that they have. He can make any animals being that it can range from one or a group of them shown with a clusters of spiders that can hold down a group of people in their webbing. He can make a crowbar or spear, able to use as a weapon and break through boxes with ease. He can make a disguise for someone. His strongest tattoo is the ability to turn into a tall, flaming skeleton with a devil like appearance. His eyes glow red when he uses this. His powers are its strongest when in this form and it can burn through extremely durable objects. His major weakness is that he’s pretty much useless in the water and his powers are pretty much negated if he’s wet. He also has trouble control his powers when he’s angered.

Hyde: Thanks to becoming a Brandsa and Phantom Cross Species, Hyde has the ability to make a powerful curse that's extremely deadly to all species in the Omniverse. Not ever Eazairvians and Qlakriks are immune to his poison. The only way for the poison to with a powerful healing spell. His Carnal is able to manipulate his opponent's emotions by reminding them of their mistakes and increasing their anger. This is used for him to strike them down with them being unaware of it due to their rage. 

Paradai: The Kruxod's species can alter technology around them or attach them to their bodies. They can create and manipulate the elements with one element being a different color.

Zane's new Gadgets:
Drakes. This gadget was created to have some extra assistance in reconnaissance or combat. Their standby form are black spheres ,being the size of a normal smartphone, very similar to his V.B.R.S. with its surface area being smooth and sleek. Upon placing them down, the spheres turn into mini dragons with a bright red sphere, working as an eye. From its eyes, a set of horizontal and vertical red lines stretches along the sides of the dragon, diving it into four pieces.

They can fire a laser beam from its eye that scans important information back to Zane or one of his A.I. Partners or hack into any system from any distance. It can also record an image which goes back to Zane so he can see from a far distance away. They can also be used to deliver a shot that's like a high power taser. It can fly using its wings.

Legion Board. This gadget is a metallic obsidian black, oval shaped piece of an unknown metal that Zane made using some of his intelligent forms. Upon throwing it into the air, it turns into a all red technological surf board. It floats a few inches off the ground. Upon Zane stepping on it, it can easily break the sound barrier within seconds.

Legion Visor. This gadget allows Zane to change his appearance into a completely different one. It's able to mimic Zane's forms as well. It comes in the form of a white mask that covers the face. It can be used to copy objects. It's a rather frail device and can only project a single appearance unless Zane makes more images onto the mask.

Omni-Opener. This gadget was given to Zane by Silas since he's a high ranking member of the Alliance and a Centurion. It's the best skeleton key in the business. It's a small black square looking pocket knife with a red button on the side of it. Upon pushing the button, a two inch blank metal key shaped stick comes out. It can also make a red solid beam of energy which can be used to open any locked objects and works as a Swiss Army Knife.

Zenith Casing. This gadget is similar to the C.O.N.E. (Cipher Omniversal Networks Emblems), D.I.S.C. (Deadly Interesting Small Cruisers), and V.B.R.S. (Variation Breakneck Plant Spheres). This gadget is filled with more variety compared to this trio since it can be used to transport extremely large objects. It's a small bean-sized transparent capsule with the capsule's inner is a white water like liquid. It can contain a large meal which Zane uses for longer than normal training sessions. 

He owns a gravity chamber that can allow the user to train under any planet in Omniverse's gravity multiplied by a certain number. It can go up to a thousand times that planet's gravity. Inside of the gravity, the chamber is a royal blue color and have various green boosts in the side of the chamber to influence the amount of gravity in the room. Zane tends to use these objects to make one of his Zenith Industries gadgets appear.

A well known item seen within Zenith Casing is a dark green gourd shaped like bottle with a brown cork. It has the Kanji for "Hero" written in it. This gourd had some of the Omniverse's best sake inside of it and it's called the Sagely Alembic. This gourd is from the Giants who heated their booze using the flames of Akostars. Zane usually strapping the gourd bottle to his waist. Zane usually this gadget mainly to contain his Zenith potions. 

His Zenith Potions can be used to neutralize any poison inside of a being. It can be used to restore the drinker's physical injuries ranging from minor to major injuries with relative ease, and it can restore a being's energy. The only thing that the Zenith Casing can't contain are living beings. Zane tends to never run of this gadget in a similar fashion to the trio of C.O.N.E., D.I.S.C., and V.B.R.S.

Zenith Prison. This gadget is rather small being a bit smaller than an average human's hand. It's in a ball like shape. It's a steel gray color with a molten gold circular strap going around it. On the top of it, there is a small, concave crimson red button. Upon pressing down on the button, the stripe glows bright and Zane throws it. Upon getting close to the target, the target is absorbed into it. This is used to transport the more intense criminals.

Zenith Scanner. This gadget is seemingly a normal pair of binoculars but it's actually extremely high tech. It allows him infrared vision, take pictures and video in extremely clear and perfect quality, and can see through walls. It can also run facial recognition on whoever he was staring it.

The Pit. The Pit is a training area inside of Zenith Tower and all of his homes being that it's a combination of holograms and Revised to simulate various scenarios. Anyone who uses the pit will get stronger according to Zane by pushing their bodies to their limits. The difficulty level in the Pit goes from Level 1 (common street thugs with no weapons and only has hand to hand combat) to Level 13 (Skull Plague).

The Pit's Levels:
Level 1: Common Street Thugs with no weapons and only has hand to hand combat.

Zane's Prosthetic Eye:
After the Massacre, Zane lost the usage of his left eye since Kilene blasted him right in his left eye. After deactivating the form, Zane had to remove his left eye by hand. After the fight with Kilene, she left behind a gift for Zane aka a brain tumor. After removing the tumor, Zane couldn't heal the wound Kilene left behind him. Zane was lucky that he kept his optic nerve being that Maxwell Brock and Sharon Matthews were the first to help Zane with his new eye.

His eye looks normal but its true appearance is black. It has a red and white interface with the pupils being a blank color, able to change into any color that Zane wants. At first, the eye didn't match his left one but it slowly updated. Zane's left eye can access any display from any computer, analyze data, and obtain any files needed. It can also analyze any sample given to him and identify a subject even if their faces have been distorted.

It can also read vital signs, has night and X-ray vision, and being able to see a great distance away. It can translate any language and speech pattern. It can also hypnotize being that with each suggestion Zane gives, the command gets stronger and hard to break. It also protects Zane's identity being that if he's captured on a picture, it becomes blurry. The main thing about his eye is that it can use Zane's eyes based powers. It also doesn't freak out on him.

Due to him desiring knowledge, he has acumen in several different fields. Some of these fields are biology, chemistry, and computer sciences. He's also very good at math and tended to be a tutor for others ninety percent of the time. He also has a strong amount of energy inside of his body and he can have his energy getting absorbed out of him. Beings who drain others of their energy will get full from just taking a single part of Zane's massive energy pool.
