This post here has been written in December 2021 but will be uploaded before Zero Special 1. This is to mainly improve the amount of posts produced within a certain time frame or other reasons.
Back with Zane, Basalt unleashed several streams of magma at Zane with the Cross Species easily blocking them using one of the discs surrounding him or dodging them. "Seriously? You got this high tech suit of armor and you're still trying to burn me alive with lava/magma streams. Here's some words of advice. You're becoming predictable which will lead to my victory and your defeat!" said Zane. He held a V.B.R.S. in between all of his fingers excluding the thumb.
He threw the six marbles toward Basalt. The Maferno was covered in vines thanks to the marbles with him trying to burn them away, the vines would cover themselves in spikes. These spikes are strong enough to pierce through his incredibly durable armor and right into his skin. Basalt growled in anger with him seeing Zane's five discs heading toward him. Basalt slammed his fists onto the ground, which producing wave after wave of jagged black spikes with red curvy lines inscribed around them.
These spikes began to produce lava/magma, burning everything and this included the discs. "Damn. I really like those discs." said Zane. "You can always make more Zane. I really don't get what's the big deal. Those discs can be used for attack, defense, or platforms but they have a weakness toward strong amount of pressure or you losing focus." said Astaroth. "With Zane, I doubt it would make any sense if he explained." said Matrix.
Havoc nodded as he said,"That's a good description of Zane. You really do know him Matrix. I only heard about him from my mom and Parker.". "You will never truly know Zane." said Astaroth. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane looked to see that Basalt's eyes were glowing green. "I better make another shield or start move fast." thought Zane. "You're right Zane. I think it's time for me to get some new material!" said Basalt, unleashing two giant beams of green energy from his eyes.
These beams went flying toward him with Zane taking an educated guess on what these beams were going to do. He began moving around the battle field with him trying to make the beams hit something else. However, the beams hit Zane directly in the back and these beams turned into electricity. These beams shocked him upon contact and this confused him. Zane looked to see that Basalt's vines were burned away and his armor was covered in holes. "I'm free!" said Basalt.
Zane looked at him as he said,"And looking like swiss cheese. Just wanted to pointed that out.". Basalt charged Zane with Crisis Judgement going off. From what Zane could see, the Maferno was planning on slicing Zane in two and his eyes glowed. Zane blocked the Maferno's shield using a large translucent and intricately designed shield coated in a cosmic colored light. Zane's superhero logo is carved in the middle of the shield. "Sorry but that won't be working on me. Unworldly Shield!" said Zane.
He released a stream of candy syrup right into Basalt's face, blinding him for a second. Using the shield in front of him, he pushed the larger opponent back. Zane jumped back with him making his right arm turn into its liquid form. It began growing in size, hardening up and slowly forming a giant version of his new arm. "Lets go! New combo move! Avalanche Rocket Punch!" said Zane, launching the giant fist toward Basalt. This pushed him back a couple of feet in a grove of trees.
Basalt easily recovered from this attack with the Maferno stomping onto the ground. Several waves of magma emerged from Basalt with Zane glaring at it. "You really need to cool down Basalt!" said Zane with him turning into Water Prime. "Ocean Emperor Absolute Method: Ocean Wrath!" said Zane, making a giant wave of water come toward the magma. This made the entire battlefield get covered in a thick layer of steam.
Using his armor, he saw several mermaids come out of the steam and the Maferno began destroying them with relative ease. "Is that all you got Zane?! I won't let water stop me from getting my revenge on you!" said Basalt as he sliced right through a mermaid. "Of course that wouldn't stop you but it makes a great distraction to get this working." thought Zane, unleashed a wave of Diamond Prime's diamonds throughout the area around them.
Basalt looked at them as he said,"These diamonds. You used them earlier while in Radiation Prime but tell me. How did you do that?". "A good Magnus never reveals his secrets and instead of worrying about you, you need to be worried about them. They're quite angry if you ask me." said Zane, pointing to something behind Basalt. The Maferno turned around to see a Crystup and several rock golems.
They were similar to the ones that Salem created back in Zero Episode 129 except for different colored ruins covering their bodies. Their ruins are colored a mixture of molten gold and purple. Basalt began fighting off the Crystup and golems with no problems at his end. They were shattered and Basalt looked annoyed. "Did you honestly think those pathetic minions would stop me from getting my revenge on you?" said Basalt.
Zane shrugged as he said while clenching his fists,"Not really. I know that you hate me for beating you up but here's the thing. I won't let you hurt my friends. I'm the only one here strong enough to take you down since Parker is a pacifist.". "Always the cocky one aren't you? You may think your attempts to distract me are working but they won't." said Basalt. "Okay then. If you really want me to show you that I'm serious, I will! Fierce Sol!" said Zane with him throwing the attack toward Basalt.
Basalt's eyes glowed green with him firing out green energy beams at the sphere. This created a massive explosion with both fighters remaining calm and confident. Back above, Allen, Arya, and Gwen were fighting against the duo of Grimace and Lunacy. Allen offered to help Rachel but she was focused on taking down Nemesis who used gold energy beams and a robot army to keep her busy. Nemesis's robot army are all wearing black skin-tight uniforms.
The uniform has gold sections on the chest and extremities. They wear silver helmets that completely covers their head and functions as their heads. They have a purple star shaped visor. They wears silver gauntlets which is also a fusion of a brass knuckle. Despite being out numbered, Rachel's Ardor was tearing these robots apart with no problem. "So do you guys have an idea how to separate the Vordlarin from their hosts? From what I know, Zane usually defeats Darth that way." said Gwen.
She kept the two back thanks to a wave of ice. Allen shrugged with him unleashing a barrage of plasma bullets at them. Grimace took the bullets head on while Lunacy jumped around them. Arya ,covered in her armor, aimed her left hand at the duo, turning it into a gatling gun. The gun began firing out oversized fists with spiked knuckles, hurting Grimace on contact since he refused to dodge any of their attacks.
Arya noticed pieces of metal from the destroy robots and she smiled. "Quark! I need you to help me with something." said Arya. "Sure thing Seraphina. Mind keeping them busy for just a second?" said Allen. "Sure." said Gwen, charging toward them. Grimace smiled with him getting ready to strike Gwen and devour her alive but was used as a springboard by Lunacy. "Hey! She's mine to devour!" said Grimace. "Oh shut up." said Lunacy, blocking Gwen's sword with a sword made from her body.
Grimace was about to attack Gwen while she was busy with Lunacy but was unable to move. He looked around and saw that instead of being frozen like Basalt was earlier, his body was held in place by a giant claw machine claw made out of plasma. "Sorry but you won't be hurting my friend while she's busy at the moment." said Allen. "Seriously. You two won't be able to stop us." said Lunacy, blasting Gwen with Impulse with the sorceress using her sword to slice it in half.
The male Vordlarin nodded as he said,"She's right! There is nothing you can do to stop me from getting my revenge on you bitches!". Before he could do anything about that, several pieces of metal came crashing down. The two Vordlarins didn't see this happening. "I see. Your plan is simple. It seems you're going to use the frequency from the pieces of metal to stun them so we can rip them apart. It seems that she and Zane both have a impressive mind." thought Gwen.
Gwen smiled as she said,"You really shouldn't say that since the Omniverse has a way to ruin your plan.". Allen flew behind Grimace and grabbed his arm. He slammed him into the ground with the male Vordlarin roaring. "Do it now Seraphina!" shouted Gwen. The girl nodded as she began placing more pieces of metal into the ground nearby the trio of Allen, Grimace, and Lunacy with the two Vordlarins getting held in place by Allen's plasma claw.
With each piece planted in the ground, Arya hit them and released a sound that caused both of the Vordlarins to roar in anger. Seeing both of them in pain, Allen flew into the air above them with both Arya and Gwen moving back. "Lets go. Plasmic Blast." said Allen with him firing a giant blast of plasma from above and this made a noticeable crater in the ground. The shockwave hit the pieces of metal, creating more soundwaves.
Grimace and Lunacy were knocked out and they were contained in glass jars that appeared from under the Vordlarins. "So I have to ask. Where did the jars come from?" said Allen, floating down to the two of them. "Parker's security system has them to contain enemies who can turn into a liquid form. I'm sure that they'll be able to contain those two since their ears will be ringing for at least six hours." said Arya with a smile. "May I ask how you're sure about that?" said Gwen. "Science." said Arya.
Allen nodded as he said,"That make sense to me.". "It does?" said Gwen. "Of course it does. It's like saying magic to explain something complicated. We should go help Rae out by taking care of the robots so she can handle another evil version of Zane." said Allen. He flew off. "I'm guessing that he doesn't know now that worked." said Gwen. "Nope! He's right about us helping Rae though." said Arya. The two girls went to handle the robots with Allen as Rachel began fighting against Nemesis.
With Danny, he was fighting against Rivart with the leader of the Vordlarins slashing Danny's chest with his thick claws. "You're in over your head! I've been absorb and taking the abilities of several species who found their way into the Infinite Void! I'll be taking great pleasure in ripping you in two right in front of Zane and that woman's family!" said Rivart. "That's not happen!" said Danny as he made the Spectral Busters.
He kicked Rivart back and turned his arms into the Phantom Smashers. He ripped open the ground and held a huge chunk of rock with him throwing it at Rivart. Rivart roared with him turning both of his arms into spiked broadswords with him slicing the ground in four pieces. Dust and rubble covered the area with Danny trying to remember what the weakness of a Vordlarin were from the time he fought against Darth that one time.
Danny looked at Rivart as he thought,"Okay. He hates ice and sound. Lets go with the latter since I'm pretty sure that you can't get rid of that weakness no matter what you do to prevent it. Right Zane?". Before Danny could do anything, Rivart sprinted out from the dust and slammed Danny in the ground. Dust and debris covered the area due to how hard Rivart slammed Danny into the ground. "Any last words punk?!" shouted Rivart and Xavier in unison. "Yeah. Get off me. Sonic Disruptor!" said Danny.
He had amplifiers coming out of the back of his hands with these speakers being a black color. He makes a pair of headphones go over his ears. He aimed his hands right at Rivart, releasing an azure blue sound wave. This caused Rivart to roar in pain and Danny punched him in the face. "I know your species's weakness and nothing will stop me from kicking you ass!" said Danny. The two began exchanging punches with their hits creating shockwaves upon contact with each other.
As these fights were going on, a more intense fight was going on. The jungle around Parker's lab had gotten a makeover and it wasn't pretty. The ground had been ripped apart with countless spots of lava/magma licking away at the air around them. Most of the flora had been reduced to burning cinders by said flame. There were diamond shards of all shape and sizes scattered around with them belonging to Comet Prime and Diamond Prime.
There were frost marks covering the ground, indicating that Zane used Frost Prime and Thermal Prime to fight Basalt as well. Another part of the battlefield had cut fragments of wooden vines that came from Vine Prime. A third area was completely soaked, meaning that Zane used the lakes that were inside of the forcefield to try and stop Basalt but it didn't work. The planet's life forms were trying to stay away from their fight but it didn't work.
However, the mountains range were safe from the battle as well since they were just outside of the barrier. Zane ,in Warlord Form, was sent flying back from one of Basalt's punches and it sent the powerful form skipping across the surface of the swamp water. The form made a big splash upon hitting the swamp. He let out a painful, guttural roar with him slowly returned to his feet and he winced from the blow. "Yep. That armor is no way a joke. Duly noted." said Zane with him panting heavily.
Zane's tough hide was covered in scraps, bruises, and burns. "Quit with the jokes Zane. It's getting old to hear them. You should know that I'm ready for whatever form or technique you have in your arsenal. It makes no difference." said Basalt with him walking toward Zane through the swamp water. It was being evaporated upon coming in contact with the Maferno. He did have some wounds on him but the fight was going in Basalt's favor.
Havoc gulped as he said,"Hey Zane. I know that you're busy but do you think we could try something? I know that we just met all but since we're going to be working together from...". Zane blinked as he thought,"Oh wow. Is this how I sound whenever I ramble on?". "Yes you do partner but Rachel loves you for that. So don't change okay?" said Astaroth. "Focus you guys! Basalt is getting closer and I doubt he'll let us finish our conversation." said Matrix.
Zane nodded as he said,"So what's your idea Havoc? At this point, I'm up for anything.". "Okay then. Here it is." said Havoc. After hearing the plan, Zane smiled. "If you have any more idea like that Havoc, our partnership is going to be amazing." said Zane. "Really? Okay! I won't let you down Zane. My mom never let you down and neither will I." said Havoc. Zane take a deep breath with him unleashing a massive hurricane of air from his mouth. "Heavenly Emperor Barrage!" said Zane.
The burst of air pushing Basalt back. "Really?! I doubt your bad breath is going to stop me!" said Basalt. He was about to unleash his flames but was unable to move. "Are you really repeating the Specter Form trick? I thought you were better than that!" said Basalt. "You really do know nothing about me." said Zane, turning into Alien Form. He's eight feet tall with him being a slim yet muscular humanoid reptilian alien.
Zane has dark purple scale like skin with him having a natural emerald green exoskeleton. This exoskeleton covers his arms, chest, legs, neck, and shoulders with gaps in between, revealing his dark purple scale like skin. His head is covered by a green fire like substance which also works like his hair. His skull is black and skeletal, showing his pronounced cheekbones. He has two horns protruding at a solid forty five degree angle coming out of the side of his head.
He has a black ink like tongue. He has three eyes, which are always hidden behind a visor. This visor is actually a natural part of his body and can't be removed. It’s in the shape of sunglasses that exposes his forehead. It's clear and see-through, showing off his trio of eyes. All three eyes are oval shaped and inside of rectangular eye sockets. His left eye is a sapphire blue color, his right eye is a ruby red color, and his center third eye is a emerald green color. His ears are large and pointed like an elf.
Zane has noticeable insect like traits to him with him having a black film connected to the tibia and tarsus of his legs. His mouth looks insect like. He has five fingers and talon-like toes. He has two emerald green and dark purple bat/moth like wings being that they come out of his back. The dark purple part of his wings is part of his natural biology and the emerald green part of his wings is part of his natural exoskeleton.
He has a thick dark purple scaled prehensile tail with the end of it being a emerald green wrecking ball. Like with his wings, the dark purple part of his tail is part of his natural biology and the emerald green part of his tail is part of his natural exoskeleton. He wears a long dark red cloak with it always open and has glowing molten lining. He wears his gray sleeveless tunic like gi and a black tie with his tie having a silver UFO on it. He wears dark purple pants with a gold obi like belt.
Zane is wearing black boots with the bottom of his boots being a red color. He wears black fingerless gloves. "That is Alien Form. While this form looks quite weak compared to Warlord Form, I won't be underestimating you Zane." thought Basalt. "Listen up Magma Dome. It's time for you to die or get beaten to a pulp which ever works. At this point, I'm good." said Zane with him jump right toward Basalt and his jump created a shockwave.
Before Basalt could do anything about, he coughed up saliva due to Zane's head slamming right into his stomach. He began to unleash a barrage of punches, kicks, and tail swipes on Basalt with Basalt getting annoyed. Crisis Judgement went off as Basalt unleashed green lightning bolts shaped energy blades from the tops of his wrists. He was about to slash Zane away but his attack missed thanks to Zane releasing a burst of sapphire blue ice and this froze the swamp water around them.
Zane flew back with him producing black ink from his mouth. This ink turned into bullets that covered the ice below them. Basalt growled with him break out of the ice by melting it away. This create a thick layer of smoke with Basalt deciding to use the smoke to his advantage. He rushed toward Zane but instead of hitting him, the Maferno was covered in black ink. "Sorry buddy. Try again." echoed Zane's voice with the Maferno looking for him.
He got his answer due to Zane kicking him hard in the face. The force of the blow was extremely strong with the shockwave breaking the ice around where Basalt was. Basalt's head whipped to the left with him staggering back a bit. He opened his mouth and spat out a couple of teeth. Zane didn't let up on him with him increasing the gravity on Basalt and this was made obvious thanks to Zane's hands glowing emerald green. "I think it's time for some golf." said Zane, making Oathmaker appear.
Zane slammed the hammer right into the Maferno's face once again, breaking more teeth by the second time around. "And now your idea Havoc." said Zane with him turning into Sound Prime and this was thanks to his right arm. "High-Def Surround Sound!" said Zane as Sound Prime's discs appeared from Zane's body. They floated around Basalt, unleashing their sound onto him. The Maferno screamed with him covering his ears and Zane smirked. "Fore!" said Zane.
He swung the hammer right into Basalt. This send the Maferno flying out of the swamp and landed onto his back hard. Zane stood nearby Basalt with the alien looking unharmed and missing Oathmaker. He also deactivated Sound Prime and put Brawn Prime in its place. Basalt's chest plate had a deep indention with orange, red, and yellow spider web like crackles. His necklace was gone as well. "That's a good start." said Zane.
During their fight, Zane easily noticed that Basalt's armor had the annoying ability to regenerate any damage that it took. However, it had its limits. A really powerful attack would leave a mark on the armor. Basalt slowly stood back up with him smiling. "Yes! This is what I have been wanting this entire time! A truly worthy opponent!" cackled Basalt. "Okay then. It's clear that I probably broke your brain earlier. Time to finish the job." said Zane.
He launched himself toward Basalt with Zane creating a shockwave. Basalt narrowed his eyes and charged at Zane. Before they clashed once again, Zane cocked back his left fist and punched forward. Basalt extended his right arm and caught the punch with his hand. It made a resounding boom and shockwave, shaking the ground around them. After this clash, Zane went back by backflipping. "So why did you do that? I mean you can fly!" said Matrix.
Without missing a beat, Havoc said,"I think he was trying to look cool for the crowd watching this fight.". "Really? That's his reason Havoc?" said Matrix. "If you're going to be a member of Team Legion Zero, you'll get use to Zane's showboating. I'm thinking its genetic at this point." said Astaroth. Zane opened his chest, revealing four black ,ink like, tentacles that can be used to grab opponents at close or long range.
Basalt was about to burn them away but was stopped by emerald green darts coming from Zane's fingers. The ink like tendrils grabbed Basalt's arms and legs, bringing him close to Zane. Upon getting close to Basalt, the alien was about to kick Basalt in his metallic face but the Maferno's armor caught Zane's foot. Basalt began releasing an incredible heat, causing Zane to let him go and he was slammed into the ground by Basalt.
The Maferno increased his grip on Zane's head, sadistically laughing as his armor picked up Zane's bones breaking due to his grip. "Basalt. You're really trying to kill me aren't you." said Zane. "I think I figured you out. You makes those needless comments of yours when you're scared but I think it's time for you to learn your place." said Basalt. Without giving Zane a chance to comment, a pyramid shaped gun barrel appeared from Basalt's chest.
Zane's eyes widened with him taking a powerful greenish-blue energy directly. This blast sent Zane skidding back and with his feet cutting trenches into the ground. Zane was unable to catch his breath due to the charging Basalt who smashed both of his fists into Zane. This blow created another shockwave that ripped the ground open within a fifty meter radius and sent Zane flying away. A few minutes later, Zane opened his eyes and looked around the crater where he ended up.
He saw that on his way here, he made a large trench into the ground. "Yep. Everything hurts. I'm not a fan of this." said Zane as he coughed up candy syrup. He shakily climb to his feet and began climbing out of the crater with his left hand was placed on top of his head. He opened his eyes and deactivated the form. "Okay. Basalt isn't holding back and well, I need to get serious. Or more serious than I was before." said Zane. "Ready to use Albion yet? It's ready to go." said Matrix.
Zane shook his head as he said,"Not yet. We got a couple of Havoc's plans left plus I can beat this guy without it.". He looked up to see that all of his friends were still fighting Basalt's forces. Before Astaroth could say anything about Zane not using Albion and to stop showing off, his watch began beeping. Zane pressed the faceplace down with him saying,"So how are things going up there? Things are going great down here. I think I'm doing some damage to him and he's doing some to me, it's mutual.".
From the watch, Velda's voice said,"Focus Zane. We're currently working on disabling the forcefield that's keeping you and Basalt inside.". "Um why? I rather not let Basalt get to you guys plus he really wants to keep our fight one on one. He made that perfectly clear easily." said Zane. "Zane. We need to disarm the forcefield in order to free some Trungins that managed to get captured in there with you. I have Arya work on the forcefield but she says that it will take a handful of minutes." said Parker.
Parker smiled as he said,"Since you're here, let me give you some words of encouragement.". "Oh that's just great. I get another lecture from you." said Zane, rolling his eyes. Matrix sighed as she shocked Zane much to his annoyance. "I thought we were friends now Matrix and why does this hurt me?! I'm immune to electricity!" said Zane. "How about you just listen to daddy Zane and quit with the back talking?!" said Matrix. "So mean." grumbled Zane.
The Eazairvian sighed as he said,"Don't let Basalt's immense power get to you. You are stronger than him even with him using that suit of armor that increases his strength. I'll admit that the design isn't god awful like that knock off Z.E.R.O. Watch but its power is unmatched by anything Aihlus has even made.". "Just get back to taking down that forcefield so we can help those foxes. I'll keep Basalt busy. I think he's coming to pay me a visit and it will be painful." said Zane as he hanged up.
Zane didn't need Crisis Judgement to see Basalt jumping toward him, landing a good nine feet away from Zane. "This power I have at my disposal is unmatched! There is nothing that you can do to stop me!" said Basalt with Zane gritting his teeth and narrowed his eyes. He looked down at his watch with him saying,"Okay. I got this.". Before Basalt could do anything, he began smelling something quite foul. "Really? Do you think that you'll knock me out using sleeping gas?" said Basalt.
He looked to see Zane standing there in Matter Form. "It ain't sleeping gas magma dome but hey, prove me wrong." said Zane with his arms crossed and a smirk present on his face. Basalt glared at Zane, making a magma ball appear in his hand. "Kaboom." said Zane with him turning into smoke. The battlefield was caught up in a massive explosion of ice with Basalt being caught in the middle of it. The smoke eventually cleared with Basalt standing there in the center of a crater.
He was in a slight amount of pain. "So how did you enjoy the methane + magma ship? It would have made a fiery explosion but well, my Carnal said differently." said Zane as he returned onto the battlefield. "Let me show you how much I enjoyed it." said Basalt. Before Basalt could do anything about his threat, Zane ,in Orb Prime, slammed right into him and pushed him back. The ball began moving around the Maferno's crater, making a noticeable divot in the ground.
Due to how fast he was going, Zane create a tornado and this launched Basalt into the air. Zane bounced up to Basalt, slamming him back into the ground and made the crater even bigger. Basalt groaned with Zane landed nearby. "Okay. Lets go." said Zane as he turned into Thunder Form with his right arm giving him the ability of Chaos Form. The ape placed his hands onto the ground with the ground begining to form around Basalt. This trapped the Maferno in the ground.
Zane began glowing bright purple as he said,"Time to up the voltage! Thunder Prime!". Thunder Prime is sixteen feet with his body's appearance looking the exact same as it was before except for the second set of arms. He wears a black natural faceplate over his face. This plate covers his forehead, nose, eyebrows, and ears but his eyes and mouth are exposed. Both of his eyes have red scleras, white irises, and black pupils. Over his eyes, he has white thunder bolt shaped markings.
These markings appear over his ankles and wrists with them replacing the bolts. His mouth is the same as before except he had now has two tongues and four large jagged fangs coming out of his mouth whenever his mouth is closed. He wears a black hooded jumpsuit with bright dark indigo ,with a black and white outline, stripes across the arms and legs. His jumpsuit has silver shoulder pads ,in the shape of discs, with a lightning bolt etched into them.
He wears black boots, brown fingerless gloves, and gold gauntlets with a lightning bolt etched into them. He now has a large version of his tail and it looks metallic. It’s constantly producing Zane’s signature dark indigo ,with a black and white outline, electricity. "And you're Frankenstein Prime as well thanks to your right arm. Hope that's enough voltage for you." said Matrix. "Thanks Matrix. Hey Basalt! Get ready for your electrocution!" said Zane.
After saying that, Zane smiled and he said,"I pray for your forgiveness but this sinner deserves nothing less than your judgement Zagehz. Thunder Emperor Judgement!". He pressed both of his palms firmly together and his fingertips evenly aiming them toward the sky. Four molten gold storm clouds appears above the buried Basalt. The four clouds send down a barrage of giant thunderbolts onto Basalt, creating a large explosion of thunder.
This increased the size of Basalt's crater and released him from the ground in the process. Basalt tried to move but couldn't due to his armor being overcharged with electricity thanks to Zane's first spell. Zane opened his mouth, releasing a giant stream of destructive thunder from his mouth and making it an explosion at the end. "Lets start things off with Thunder Emperor Barrage into Thunder Emperor Absolute Method: Arcadia Smash!" said Zane.
As he was saying this, his left arm getting covered in a solid layer of thunder. The gathered electricity went into the air with him forming a molten gold cloud above Basalt once again. The cloud brought down several giant thunderbolts ,which are in the shape of fists, onto Basalt. "I'm not down yet! Lets go! Thunder Emperor Absolute Method: Celestial Stanchions!" said Zane, clasping all of his hands together.
He began focusing his electricity and covering himself in it. As he's doing this, the sky around him was getting darker and thunder boomed above. The wind ,inside of the forcefield, was picking up and Basalt found it hard for him to breath. Zane ,with his eyes glowing, looked down at Basalt with him holding out all of his hands and clapping. After clapping, twelve pillars of lightning came out of the sky and struck Basalt.
Zane launched a thirteen pillar toward Basalt with this pillar turning into a gigantic dragon/fist hybrid that hit Basalt directly. This created a massive explosion of lightning and Zane glared at him. "Get up bastard!! I'm not down with your electrocution yet!" roared Zane as his electricity sparked up in intensity. Basalt slowly stood up as there was a green aura around his body. "Your electricity is strong but nothing can break through this shield." said Basalt.
The aura was gone as he charged toward Zane and jumped into the air. He unleashed a massive stream of magma at Zane who blocked it by a massive stream of thunder. The two elements clashed in mid air with neither side gaining the advantage. "I'm not done with you! Thunder Emperor Absolute Method: Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate Dreadnaught!" said Zane with him gathering up a huge cluster of electricity and glares directly at Basalt with him clapping.
After clapping a single time, twelve spheres of lightning comes out of the sky above him. They slowly heads toward Basalt, creating a massive explosion of electricity. With each sphere destroy, the explosion grows bigger. Basalt had the green aura around him and he was sure about something. Zane's spell was strong but nothing compared to his armor. As this barrage of explosions is going on, Zane cups his palms together with him making a massive version of Oathbreaker appear.
He began charging toward Basalt with him smashing the hammer into Basalt right after the twelfth explosion. This makes a final explosion that shook the area around them. Basalt went flying back with Zane smiling. "See?! I broke your stupid shield with my electric personality!" said Zane. Crisis Judgement went off with him turning into lightning, dodging several purple energy beams. These beams hit Basalt with him defending the shots.
Zane reformed a few feet away with him seeing a pack of Trungin firing the purple energy beams at Basalt. "Huh. I found the Trungin. Lets just hope we're allies this time around." thought Zane with him being reminded of what happened earlier. The pack didn't let up on the energy beams with Basalt glaring at them. "Oh wow. They must not want Basalt to destroy their home. I mean I'm doing the exact same thing but I guess that they deem Basalt to be the bigger threat." said Zane.
Crisis Judgement went off as Zane looked at them. "Get out of here! He's too strong!" said Zane. His warning was ignored as Basalt turned his left arm into an cannon and blasted several energy projectiles at the pack. The pack was quick enough to avoid the blasts with the explosions knocking Zane off his feet and onto his back. "Leave now! He's too strong for you! I learned that sometimes, you have to know your limits and retreat to fight another day!" said Zane.
Zane clenched his fists as he said,"I know that you guys want to protect your home I understand that but leave that to me! I may have hurt you in the past but I plan to make amends! Believe in me got it?!". Despite not liking the Cross Species and his friends for steeping into their territory, they knew when they were unmatched and retreated. They could also feel that Zane was strong like the armor wearing one so they trusted him to make good on his promise.
With them out of the way and hopefully out of the forcefield, Zane glared at Basalt who smiled directly at him. "Always the hero aren't you? You must hate that don't you?" said Basalt. "It's better than being the villain who has beings in his life out of fear rather than love like a hero does." said Zane. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane jumped back to evade a pillar of lava. Before Zane could recover, a metal wire went around his neck.
It was strangling him and he tried to get it off him but this wire was draining him of all of his electricity and strength. Basalt ,with the wire coming out of his right wrist, brought his arm down and this sent Zane into the ground. With the wire still around his neck, Basalt dragged Zane over to him and he smiled. He turned his left arm into magma and he slammed into Zane's chest with him creating a giant hole in Zane's chest.
Basalt tossed Zane away with him unleashing a barrage of magma construct fists at Zane. Each fist slammed into him and Basalt slammed his left foot right into Zane's face, creating a crater in the ground. "Bastard. Don't think you can defeat me by burning away my Essence. Malik tried that six years ago and it failed just like your face!" said Zane with him spitting in Basalt's face. "Really Zane? Spitting. How pathetic." said Basalt.
Zane crossed his arms as he said,"If you honestly think that, you don't know me whatsoever.". His spit turned out to be royal blue tar and exploded right in Basalt's face. This pushed Basalt back and off Zane with him deactivating Thunder Prime. His wounds from Basalt's magma blast to the chest healed up with Basalt smiling. He held his sword with him swinging it fast. The sword unleashed a barrage of orange, crescent-shaped energy waves with serrated edges lashed out.
They didn't go toward at Zane but one of the retreating Trungin. "No! Coward!" shouted Zane. "I like to call it a strategic maneuver since well, you're a hero after all." said Basalt. The Trungin was unaware of this until Zane slammed into him and took the attack head on. This attack literally sliced Zane into pieces with his blood coming out of him. The Trungin was shocked by the Cross Species's ability to give himself for an enemy but knew Zane need her gone so he could fight Basalt.
Zane groaned as he said,"Okay then. Ouch. That's real sharp.". His body slowly began to regenerate and repair itself. Zane slowly pushed himself off the ground and on his leg. He let out an annoyed grunt with his left eye closed since it had been shattered thanks to Barrage's sword wave. "Damn it. Do you know how much it cost to rebuild one of those? Not much since I'm rich but I hate being a cyclops for any period of time since it hurts my loved ones!" said Zane with him making a new left eye appear.
He turned into Salamander Prime with him making two clones appear. The clones turned into Archfiend Prime and Gravity Prime. "You two ready?" said Zane. "Gotcha boss." said the two. Gravity held out his hands with them glowing crimson red. The gravity around Basalt increased with the Maferno getting pushed into the ground. Zane fired two beams from his two cannons. The left beam was royal blue Carnal and the right beam was turquoise Primordial.
These beams exploded upon contact with Basalt with Zane taking a deep breath. "Do it now while the boss is getting charged!" said Gravity. Archfiend began making cannons with him saying,"Let me introduce you to the Barrage Blasters! Arcane Emperor Barrage Blaster! Armageddon Emperor Barrage Blaster! Chaos Emperor Barrage Blaster! Forest Emperor Barrage Blaster! Heavenly Emperor Barrage Blaster! Hellfire Emperor Barrage Blaster!".
As he was saying this, the cannons began charging up a respective element. "Luminous Emperor Barrage Blaster! Ocean Emperor Barrage Blaster! Permafrost Emperor Barrage Blaster! Thunder Emperor Barrage Blaster! Umbra Emperor Barrage Blaster!" said Archfiend. From the cannons, all eleven Barrage spells appeared and struck Basalt head on. "Lets go! Zenith Sphere Wave times three!" said Zane as he fired out a Zenith Sphere Wave from his mouth and two cannons.
One Zenith Sphere Wave is made out of Akostar energy being a Cosmic Crimson Red, Carnal being Royal Blue, and Mojo being Black. These beams collided onto Basalt, creating a massive explosion and making a mushroom cloud. Archfiend Prime and Gravity Prime vanished as Zane ,with him deactivating, looked at the cloud. "It seems that you are a hero to the very end. It is funny. I always wanted the power of your watch to rule over all." said Basalt's voice.
Zane clenched his fists as he heard,"But thanks to you, I gained a power that easily dwarfs the Z.E.R.O. Watch. Once I end your life and take the watch for myself, nothing will be able to stop me.". The Maferno stood there with him cracking his knuckles. "Is that all you got Zane? I thought you were the one who replaced me as a Jaeger." said Basalt as he produced a huge amount of magma/lava. He unleashed two massive streams of magma at Zane who blocked these steams of magma.
This was thanks to an ethereal solid gate shaped construct that shines crimson red. "Thanks Unworldly Gate." said Zane. Basalt charged Zane with him cocking back his left fist. Zane turned intangible with him appearing behind Basalt. "Impulse Sabers." muttered Zane with him focusing Impulse into his arms. The energy turned into a piercing energy blade around his arms. These blades went to a few inches above his hands.
He slashed Basalt in the back twice, causing him to roar in anger as Zane began rapidly stabbing Basalt rapidly. He finished by crossing both blades over the Maferno and deliver a powerful x-shaped slash over him. "Damn you! I will make pay for that!" roared Basalt. "And now, you're sounding like a stereotypical villain. You make think that your armor dwarfs the Z.E.R.O. Watch but honestly, I'll take you down with it on!" said Zane.
Basalt glared at Zane as he said,"So are you going to use one of your stronger forms? I know for a fact that you are still holding back.". "You're right about me holding back but you're doing the exact same. Pot calling kettle black much?" said Zane. Basalt began laughing with Matrix saying,"I think you broke him Zane.". "Fine. I'll go all out on you Zane if you do the same and stop with those dumb jokes of yours." said Basalt.
Instead of doing that, Zane turned into Atomic Prime. "Really? Why not Astral Form or are you too scared like you were back then?" said Basalt. "Not at all. I just know that I can do this without using that power in that way. Now are we going to keep talking like old ladies or are we going to fight like men?" said Zane. "Fine. Use this form of yours. I'll make your defeat even more painful!" said Basalt as the two clashed fists.
This sent shockwaves throughout the entire planet and Zane went back from it. He began launching the compressed dark matter that rotating around his body at Basalt. This kept Basalt from doing anything since each sphere exploded upon contact and kept him from dodging with Zane making a bigger sphere of dark matter. "Take this!" shouted Zane with him tossing the sphere at Basalt. The sphere made a massive mushroom cloud upon contact with the Maferno and Zane stood there.
Zane crossed as he thought,"He isn't down yet.". "How come you're so sure? You unleashed a million Sv or siverts with your last attack alone. No being should have live through that." said Matrix. "Basalt is stubborn and persistent like I am. Things are just getting warmed up." said Zane as he flew into the explosion where Basalt was waiting for him. During his fight, Zane's arms were glowing and he cocked back both of his arms.
Upon seeing the Maferno, Zane slammed both fist into the left and right side of Basalt's head. This created a massive explosion that consisted of five million SV or siverts with it creating a massive mushroom cloud and sent shockwaves throughout the planet. A few minutes later, the explosion cleared up and it revealed the outcome of Zane's explosion. Zane ,out of Atomic Prime, was being held in the air by Basalt's left hand around his neck.
Basalt smiled as he said,"Your attack was so cute there. Trying to kill me with all of that radiation but you should know that I won't be losing to you ever again. You also forgot about my ability to deactivate your form with a single blast. Your attacks almost made me break a nail.". "You're making jokes now Basalt? What has the Omniverse come to?" said Zane with Basalt glaring. He released an electric shock through Zane with him screaming in pain and Basalt dropped him.
The Maferno smiled as he said,"I'm so sorry. That seems to be your thing. I think I'll just stick to mine instead.". He blasting Zane with his green energy beam that was shocking Zane upon contact. Zane was being pushed farther into the ground with him smiling. "Sorry but I can't let you have the high ground here Basalt. Time to go above and beyond in kicking your butt!!" said Zane as his eyes glowed bright blue.
Basalt was hit in the back of the head by something with him thinking,"I don't think any of his friends enter the dome so who hit me and with what?". He turned around to see Zane standing there with him saying,"Don't look away from me or my clone but here's the question. Am I the real one or a fake? Have fun figuring out!". Basalt looking down to see Zane smiling at him. Basalt sliced the clone's head clean off with his sword.
This caused Basalt to get caught up in a massive explosion of emerald green ,with an obsidian black tint, flames. The entire area was covered in fire and these flames formed the words "Try Again You Failed!" with these four words pissing Basalt up. He saw that the Zane from before was gone and several silver marbles came flying toward him. "Those toys of your won't do nothing to me!" shouted Basalt with him slammed his arms into the ground.
A huge eruption of magma came out of the ground and they came in contact with the magma. The spheres unleashed a powerful burst of air and this turned all of the magma into stone. The stone eventually shattered thanks to Basalt's fist and before the Maferno could do anything, he was blasted in the face by a massive pillar of black Mojo that came from Zane. He was standing there in Satanic Corruption and wearing Avenger Mask with the Cross Species cracking his neck.
Basalt looked at him with him saying,"So the power of your most hated enemy lies within you. Why would you do that?". "To save people. I'm willing to become a monster but unlike the Brandsa, I won't let this power control me. Lets go!" said Zane. He charged right toward Basalt with him saying,"Satanic Crosscut and Satanic Railgun!". His arms began growing to be at least five times bigger and Zane crossed his arms, forming an "X" shaped pattern.
Upon reaching Basalt, he brought them down onto him. Basalt tried to block Zane's attack but he couldn't move his body thanks to the firefighting foam forming around his body. He didn't know how they appeared but he tried to break out of it. However, any kind of fire only made the foam stronger. Zane's attack caused him to slide back and he had a royal blue "X" shaped mark on his chest. As he was being pushed back, Basalt saw several royal blue Carnal energy beams appear around Zane.
The Cross Species punched the air in front of him. These beams went flying toward Basalt and Basalt began launching magma at them. Upon contact, the beams created a massive explosion with the magma. During the explosion, Zane charges through them and slammed his fist into Basalt's chin. The Maferno was sent flying into the air with him releasing green energy beams from his eyes. It collided with Zane and released electricity throughout his body but this didn't stop Zane.
Zane shouted as he said,"If you honestly think that electricity will stop me from kicking your ass, you got another thing coming! You won't be conquering my home and my friends got it?! Satanic Roar!". He unleashed a giant beam of royal beam Carnal from his mouth toward the Maferno. "It needs more power. Time to give it some. Increase the power of my attack!" said Zane as his energy beam was covered in molten gold runes.
This made a massive explosion and it sent shockwaves of Carnal throughout the area. Basalt landed on the ground with him covered in wounds but instead of giving up, he got back up and made his right arm getting bigger as Zane's left arm did the same. The two opponents charged toward each other and their fists slammed into each other. This shockwave went over the entire planet and the two opponents stopped with the flashy attacks, brawling with each other as each punch created a shockwave.
In due time, Zane's neck was pinned under Basalt's foot and had his entire body encased in magma that was released electricity. The Cross Species had Avenger Mask and Satanic Corruption deactivated at this point. "Give up now and your death will be brief but painful!" said Basalt, driving his foot harder into Zane's face who groaned. "Sorry but that won't be happening any time soon you magma spewing bastard!" shouted a voice.
Basalt turned to see Danny flying above them and he was above them in Wraith Armor. The gadget changed once again. Danny is still wearing a black full-body plated armor with wing-like jets on his back. His armor is covered by an glowing azure blue computer circuitry pattern. His face is covered by a mask version of his helmet which is an obsidian black color with a smaller version of his logo and white eyepieces over his eyes. His hair is still like flames with it now being azure blue energy.
His skin is now colored an azure blue color with him having azure blue energy claws over his feet and hands. His eyes are pupilless and a white color. They glowed with a noticeable vibrancy and power within them. He has two energy wings coming out of his back and wears a gold laurel. His body has a noticeable azure blue aura with it glowing radiantly. "You have beaten him before so just kick his ass already!" yelled Danny. "Fool. After I finish with him, you're next." said Basalt.
Danny nodded as he said,"If you honestly think you won against Zane, you're a big idiot. I mean you know much Zane loves to talk especially during a fight.". "Don't interfere with our fight!" said Basalt with his eyes glowing. "I won't since well, he would be mad at me if I do." said Danny. Before Basalt could say anything, he was grabbed by black ,with dark indigo flame like outlines, chains. It tossed him away from Zane and Zane floated out of the ground.
There were two holes in Zane's prison and it exposed Zane's chains which were covering his arms. "So where you letting him kick the crap out of you just to do that or what?" said Danny. "A little bit of A and B. So is Basalt's army taken down and are the Feroxian okay?" said Zane. "Yes to both. All we have left is taking down Basalt, Rivart, and your evil twin. I leave the former to you. Rae on the other hand wanted to fight evil you." said Danny.
Zane nodded as he said,"Yeah. Tell her that I'll be okay. Now get going. Help out Rae if she really needs it but let her fight this guy. She can easily win.". "You got it bro." said Danny as he flew off and deactivated Wraith Armor. Basalt glared at Zane with the Cross Species floating above him in his rocky prison. "Do you honestly think your little trick will led to my defeat?" said Basalt as he got ready to blast Zane. "Nope but if you think my trick is over, you're wrong." said Zane.
Before Basalt could attack Zane, something appeared in front of him. It was Gravity Prime and the planet smiled. He made his hand glow crimson red and decreased the gravity around Basalt. He sent Basalt flying and with his other three arms, he sent a barrage of rocks at the Maferno and it was preventing him from doing anything. The amount of rocks was plentiful and in different sizes due to their fight being quite messy.
The Maferno burned the rubble away and turned to see Titan Form standing there. He blasted cosmic red energy right at Basalt with the energy pushing him right into the ground. Zane rushed right toward Basalt, leaving behind a red and steel gray blur in his place. Zane's foot landed directly into Basalt's chest and this pushed Basalt into the remaining trees which burned away upon contact. "Okay. Activate Code 07-130-P. Password: Slayer Netstorm Experion. Astral Form!" said Zane.
When Zane said that, the entire battlefield was covered in a blinding light. Basalt blinked with him seeing not Astral Form but another form entirely. It was Radiation Prime and he blinked. "Oh what the hell! The one time I wanted Astral Form. Just my luck. At least, I got a Prime Form." said Zane as Crisis Judgement went off. "Sorry Zane! I didn't mean too!" said Matrix. "So why isn't he Astral Form? He actually wanted it for once." said Astaroth.
Matrix screamed as she said,"I don't know! I must be malfunctioning due to the explosions from the watch.". Basalt charged toward Zane and prepared his sword to cut Zane in two. Zane sighed as he aimed both of his hands at Basalt. "This may not be on the same level as Astral or Atomic Prime but this will still hurt you a lot." said Zane as his rings begin to glow brighter. He unleashed a beam of luminescent red radiation at Basalt with the beam hitting the Maferno dead on.
This beam sent Basalt flying until he slammed into the force field surround them. Zane flew into the air with making a giant sphere of radiation. It had black markings on it and forming a hazardous symbol on it. "Get a load of this magma dome! Zenith Radiation Sphere!" shouted Zane as he tossed the sphere down onto Basalt and this created a huge mushroom cloud of radiation. Zane flew right into the cloud and he spotted Basalt standing there without any scratches.
He groaned with him saying,"Can you just give up Basalt? I'm getting sick of fighting you.". "As am I!" said Basalt, holding his sword and it began absorbing the radiation around them. This included Zane with him flying back. The sword was completely covered in luminescent red radiation and it glowed brightly. Without a second warning, Zane fired another beam of radiation at Basalt and the Maferno's sword absorbed it. Zane began creating copies out of his body and sent them flying toward Basalt.
A third of the clones fired radiation, a third of the clones were getting ready to punch them, and the final third of them was getting ready to kick them. Basalt only stood there as he took the hits of the clones and they were absorbed into his sword. "Come on. This sword of yours has to have a limit when it comes to absorbing Impulse!" thought Zane as he increased the amount of radiation he was blasted at Basalt. From the outside of the forcefield, all of Zane's friends watched the fight.
Basalt smiled and pushed back against the powerful beam. Basalt walked through the beam and his sword was absorbing the radiation in the process. "I will enjoy this." said Basalt. He held out his right arm and it was now a large cannon with a scope mounted on the left side. Greenish-blue light glowed from within the wide barrel. "I may have enjoyed our fight prior to this but well, I think it's time to end this." said Basalt. "What a big gun you have there Basalt." said Zane.
The Maferno nodded as he said,"This gun is something known as the Extinction Cannon. It keys into a target's Impulse and will destroy it on a subcellular level.". He began narrowing his eyes at the biggest thorn in his side. "Even if you can regenerate from anything, this gun will make sure that you will be in a great deal of pain doing so. Think of it like getting hit by a fellow Eazairvian except you aren't my target." said Basalt. "No. You leave them out of this!" roared Zane angrily.
Basalt shrugged as he said,"Why should I? All of them have been a thorn in my side for too long but you're the biggest thorn. I will get rid of her first!". The EC charged up and fired out a large concentrated green energy beam with orange lightning spiraling around it. Zane watched the beam of energy go past him and went toward its target which forced Zane to chase after it. "I hope you can prevent her death Zane since you failed before. Seventh time is the charm after all." said Basalt.
The beam broke through the forcefield and Zane followed after it as the forcefield regenerated. Up above, Rachel was fighting against Nemesis with her hearing,"Move Rae!". She turned to see Zane and the EC's blast heading toward her and she moved. Before the EC's blast could hit her, Zane blocked the shot with him taking the full impact of the blast. The force of the explosion sent Zane flying with Rachel raising her arm over her face to shield her eyes from the brightness of the blast.
Nemesis flew away as well. Upon lowering her arm, the devil princess's eyes widened and her mouth opened in shocked horror. "No." whispered Rachel. Zane ,currently out of Radiation Prime, was sprawled out on his back with a painful groan escaped his throat as he tried to sit back up. He peeked open his right eye and gritted his teeth, trying to push through the pain. His vision was blurry for a second before it focused and when it did, he let out a single word. "Fuck." said Zane.
Thin trails of gray smoke wafted from a deep indention in his chest with greenish-blue cracks inside that were rapidly spreading. His prosthetic Essence was destroyed and looked like he was about to fall onto the ground which he did. "Zane!" screamed Rachel as she flew toward him and got the rest of the group's attention. "That fucking idiot. He blocked a shot from the EC just to protect the princess." said Vlad, clenching his fists. "The EC?" said Turseek.
Kitt sighed as he sad,"To put it simply Turseek, it's a very powerful cannon. Even for someone of Zane's power, it hurt a lot and I think Zane made that sacrifice all heroes will eventually have to make. Wish it didn't happen but..". "Zane." said Rachel. She was by his side as the cracks completely cover his body with Havoc who was crying. "Damn it. Why did you do that Zane?!" screamed Havoc. "Because that's what heroes do obviously." coughed Zane with the two turned to see Zane smiling at them.
He coughed up large globs of candy syrup and thanks to the hole in his chest, he was heavily bleeding tar. "Hey Rae. I saved you right? I didn't let another massacre happen?" said Zane. The pain was preventing him from doing a bigger smile though. He began coughing with Havoc carefully placed his body under Zane's head. "Thanks." said Zane. "What were you thinking?! You know how much I hate when you're a reckless dummy but you keep doing it!" screamed Rachel.
Tears was slowly beginning to form in her eyes. The group of Allen, Arya, Celeste, Danny, and Malik stood there with Danny clenched his fists. "Damn it! It happened again!" growled Danny. "Calm down mate." said Allen. "Are you seriously telling me to calm down right now?! My brother just had his Essence blown out again and I couldn't stop it from happening!" yelled Danny with his eyes glowing with rage. "Yeah idiot! Didn't you do that to him the first time around Malik?" said Arya.
Gwen sighed as she said,"He did but you shouldn't say that right now.". Malik looked away in regret. "I made you a promise. I refuse to see you cry like that you did that day and well, I don't want to lose another woman I love again." said Zane as he went into a coughing fit with even more candy syrup dripping from his mouth. "Zane! Don't worry! I promise that we will get you out here! Just stay with us okay?!" said Rachel as she couldn't hold back her tears.
She looked down at his watch that was currently malfunction due to how powerful the EC's explosion was and the devil had no way to contact Parker since Nemesis and Rivart were still here. Zane reached out and weakly rested his hand atop Rachel's hand. She looked at him though tears and saw the loving smile she fell for. "It's okay Rae. Please stop crying." said Zane. "No! You can't die like this! You still have so many things left to do!" said Arya.
The woman ran up to them with her saying though her tears,"You and I still need to see the Omniverse together like you promised! Get married to Rae! Be the best man for Danny's wedding to Gwen! Watch your kids grow up! And so much awesome stuff! You can't die here Zane! You're the person who saved me! Don't die!". "She's right Zane. You can't die here because all of us still need you." said Rachel through her tears. Both females stopped crying as they felt Zane's hand on top of their heads.
Zane smiled as he said,"No. I made this choice fully aware of what could happen to me. When I become Legion Zero all those years ago, I know that I would need to make that sacrifice one day. If that is how I'm going out, it's my choice okay?.". He felt his consciousness steadily slipped away. "Zane Vincent Alvarez! Don't you dare die on me! If you do that, I'll stop loving you and date someone like Blaze or Ruben!" screamed Rachel in angered despair.
The Cross Species's right eye was half open with his body growing limp. "No matter what happens to me, I will always be happy. I made so many good friends and I met you Rae." said Zane. "Zane." said Malik. Gwen went into Danny's arms, crying with Malik clenched his fists. "I love you Rachel Angelise Alvarez and don't you forget it....." said Zane as his body was being grabbed by an invisible force. "So what's happening?" said Allen with him watching Zane's body flying across the battlefield.
He went into Basalt's right hand. "Father! How did you escape?" yelled Sitara. "It may have taken me some time to break my own forcefield but I did it and well, I had a idea while I was doing it. It involves this hero here." said Basalt. He made his sword appear and stabbed it right through Zane's head much to the shock of his friends. "Zane/Zane!" screamed the group. "Damn. That's brutal! I love this guy! He's way better than my Basalt!" said Nemesis. "Son of a..." said Zane as he felt the sword absorbing him.
Basalt smiled as he said,"Do you finally understand?". Zane looked up at him and began glaring at the Maferno. "Not really but I bet you're going to tell me anyway aren't you." said Zane with him coughing up blood. "I let you get in all of those attacks so I can absorb your Impulse. This sword will be the last thing you ever see before your life ends. Be thankful that I decide to kill you like this and let you say your prayers." said Basalt as he pulled the sword out of his head.
Zane couldn’t do anything to fight back with him glaring at Basalt. He refused to look back at where his friends was since he didn’t want to let them down. Zane was cut in half with Basalt began rapidly slicing Zane. With each slice, more parts of Zane was absorbed into the blade. In due time, nothing remained of Zane except for the Z.E.R.O. Watch landing on the ground and Basalt had a heinous smile on his face. "Damn it. You're going to pay for this." said Malik, with him glaring at Basalt.
Upon seeing Zane die, Rachel yelled,"Zane! No!". Arya closed her eyes to block out the horrible image she had saw. The devil punched the ground and cried her eyes out. "I finally won!" yelled Basalt as he placed the sword back inside of his body. In a flash, Booker appeared. "He's still around? I thought we destroyed all of those robots!" said Veto. "I guess we missed the most cowardly." thought Altair. Booker floated over to where the Z.E.R.O. Watch was and Basalt said,"Give me my reward.".
Booker smiled as he held the watch and said in his toadie like voice,"Already on it sir. The Omniverse is yours to rule now.". "You are a monster Basalt!" shouted Rachel. Allen looked at the Z.E.R.O. Watch with a sad look on his face. The males of the group turned to Basalt who began laughing much to his anger. "Nope. He's a genius but your beloved Zane was an idiot." said Booker. "This is amazing! I knew that killing you would be a great feeling but this is truly amazing!" said Basalt.
He smiled as Basalt said,"Even in death, you will always let down those you care about! Seeing your red haired concubine turn into a blubbering mess was worth it!". Danny looked at him with his fists clenched tightly. "Allen. Malik. You know what we need to do." said Danny with the two nodding. The three went flying toward Basalt with them shouting,"Shut the hell up you bastard!". The Maferno was hit in the face by a combination of Impulse.
One was plasma from Allen, purple fire Nether from Malik, and a massive azure blue energy blast from Danny. Basalt's jaw was hit hard by Turseek who glared at Basalt. "Do it now Paradoxes! We need to make him pay for what he did to Zane! And what he said about Rachel!" shouted Turseek as Kitt blasted him with a barrage of missiles and Vlad blasted him in the face several times until he ran out of ammo. Cinarva and Veto released several yellow and emerald green energy blasts respectively.
Altair and Lorelei went over to the duo of Arya and Rachel, grabbing them with Ralad protecting the four using his bugs. Gwen and Sitara rushed toward Basalt, slashing him at the same time. The entire group went back as Bridgette cracked her knuckles. "This is for killing Zane you damn magma dome bastard!" screamed Bridgette. She began releasing wave after wave of explosions at Basalt. Even after all of that damage, Basalt stood there and he smiled.
Booker laughed as he said,"Holy crap! These guys are freaking morons! I mean your strongest failed to stop him so what will you all do!?". "Keep on fighting obviously." said Danny with him punching Booker away. "Because that's what Zane would do!" said Malik, unleashing a wave of purple fire Nether at Basalt. After hearing Malik said, Rachel slowly stood back up. Her face was covered in a mixture of tears and Zane's blood.
The blood belonged to Zane and her eyes were glowing scarlet red. "Move now. He's mine." said Rachel, cracking her knuckles in a manner similar to Zane. "Rachel." said Arya and Lorelei. Within seconds, Rachel rushed toward Basalt at a blinding speed and socked him hard in the face. Despite not seeing her appear in front of him, Basalt did see something from the devil. Her eyes were lacking pupils and looked eerie. Her hair was slowly rising, moving around like roaring flames.
Her punch caused him to drop his sword and sent him flying much to the shock of everyone. "Princess is strong." said Vlad. "So it's true about devils. When they find their true love, don't take it away from them or you'll die. She reminds me of the Violent Demon except well, more." said Bridgette. After landing, Rachel turned right toward Danny with her body having wisps of scarlet red Ardor coming off her, devil like horns were coming out of her head, and her skin was glowing scarlet red.
It was like she was a different person. "Danny! I need your help! We need to avenge Zane's death! Are you with me or not?!" yelled Rachel with a pissed off look. Danny nodded as he cracked his knuckles and this action activated his Wraith Armor. Both of his arms turned into the upgraded Spook Howitzer with the weapon aimed at Basalt. "Supreme Luster!" said Danny. Once Basalt landed, he groaned and his mask was broken.
Rachel's punch revealed that she managed to break his nose and caused it to bleed profusely. He slowly stood back up and noticed the two giant energy beams coming toward him. He was getting ready to absorb the Impulse just like he did with Zane before but was stopped. "Don't you fucking dare!" yelled Rachel with her releasing a wave of scarlet red Ardor at him and her attack caused him to freeze up in place.
This wave effected her allies and well, it made them feel like their hearts were being destroyed. Due to the fear, Basalt was unable to absorb the attack and was sent flying into the forest below. "Oh wow. I guess you and Zane shared an incredible temper." said Veto. Rachel turned to her with him hiding behind Altair. "Don't hurt me! Hurt Basalt instead!" screamed Veto. "Sometimes." said Sitara with her head shaking. "We need to make him pay for what he did." muttered Rachel.
She turned toward where Danny's attack sent Basalt flying and glared at the one responsible for Zane's death. She was beginning to cry once again. "He killed Zane even after I promised to get stronger for and I won't let him live for that!" yelled Rachel as a massive ball of scarlet red Ardor appeared above her. "Basalt! Die! Die! Die!" yelled Rachel with the ground below her forming a crater thanks to the size of the energy ball and this clearly showed that she was pissed off.
The ball of energy went flying toward Basalt with it slamming right into him. This created a massive explosion and Rachel flew after him, making sure that Basalt was nothing more than a bloody stain on the ground. A bit shook up, Basalt struggled back to his feet and he saw Rachel flying toward her. Her right fist was covered in Ardor and he wasn't going to let her hit him again. He unleashed a wave of magma at her and well, it didn't work.
It was blocked by an azure blue energy shield with Danny floating above. "Sorry but you're getting what you deserve. There is no escape from a woman's wrath." said Danny with Rachel connecting her fist to Basalt's face once again. This would sent him flying but Rachel wasn't going to let that happen. A giant Ardor fist came out of her and slammed Basalt into the ground which made spider cracks appear upon him hitting it.
The devil cracked her knuckles and began punching the Maferno into the ground. Each one of her punches was felt by the Maferno and he was slightly thankful that he could take a punch since this devil didn't hold back unlike her fiancée. She wasn't a joke. With her focusing Ardor into her leg, she kicked Basalt right in the face and this made a giant crater around him. Basalt looked up to see Rachel staring down at him and channeled another massive amount of Ardor into it.
She glared at him as she said,"This is for the man I love. Die you bastard!". Her fist went slowly toward her face but before it could connect, she was blasted in the back by an orange, crescent-shaped energy wave and sent flying. "Rachel!" said Danny, flying toward her. He caught her and glared to see Booker standing there with him holding Basalt's sword. "I'm real sorry for the delay master. Shall we move the execution?" said Booker, handing Basalt back his sword.
After standing up, Basalt grabbed the sword with him saying,"Yes. Let us go then.". He made a portal that resembled magma/lava. It swallowed all four before vanishing. The rest of the group saw Basalt reappear with Booker, Danny with him deactivating Wraith Armor, and Rachel. "Danny! Rae!" said Allen as he ran over to her. "You won't be able to save them before I melt them both for wasting their life avenging the biggest fool in the Omniverse!" said Basalt.
Before Basalt could do anything, he felt the sword shaking and the Z.E.R.O. Watch began to glow platinum. "What's going on?!" said Booker. The watch emitting a large feedback pulse of steel gray energy. It sent the robot flying into Rachel's attack, causing him to short circuit and looked destroyed but he was still alive. "What just happened you guys?" said Ralad with Turseek shrugging. "I honestly have no idea but it's good for us right?" said Turseek.
Danny looked right at Basalt's sword with it gaining a mind of its own and it sliced the Maferno in the chest with him roaring in pain. The sword shattered with the stored energy coming out of the remains of the sword. After this, the entire area was covered in a huge flash of light. This blinded everyone with them hearing a familiar voice,"Holy crap! I'm alive! Never doing that again!". The light faded with them seeing Zane standing there with a smile on his face.
The watch went back onto Zane and he had his metal prosthetics on him. "Let me just say this here and now you guys. I'm never dying again if that's what waiting for me at the other end of light! I met the Grim Reaper and you would not believe who she's related too!" said Zane. Turning around, Zane smiled at his friends. "Oh hey guys. Sorry about bringing the fight up here but well, I always got to be the hero." said Zane.
Both Danny and Rachel looked at the revived Zane with shock as the Cross Species turned to his two closest beings. "Zaney." muttered Rachel with her mood slowly going back to normal. "Sorry about making you worry about me bro and Rae but well, I won't be dying any time soon. I got too many beings caring about me and well, dying would break their hearts." said Zane. Rachel tackled Zane with her hugging him as if her life depending on it.
She began kissing him all over with Danny smiling. "Zane!" said Danny with him joining the hug as Rachel began crying. "He's alive you guys! He's alive you guys!" chanted Rachel. "Of course Zane is Rae. Zane is too stubborn to die and well, what happened to you mate?" said Allen. "You're not mad about me dying? I mean I thought I was dead too but well, I'm too damn stubborn to die. I'll tell you about that experience later." said Zane.
Gwen sighed as she said,"At this point and I really hate to admit it, it's a part of you. Welcome back to the land of the living once again Zane. For the love of the gods, stay in it. We're begging for you to do it.". "Yeah! What she said Zane!" said Arya with her head nodding rapidly. "You got it." said Zane as Danny and Rachel eventually let him go. "Alvarez! Get over here!" yelled Basalt. Zane turned around to see the Maferno glaring right at him with his chest still having its cut on it.
His magma/lava was slowly healing his wound. "Oh. That's right. You're still here." said Zane with him reappearing in front of Basalt. Basalt grabbed his neck, slamming Zane into the ground. "Why didn’t he dodge it ?!" thought the others. "You will be die Zane. There will be no more surprises or tricks from you! Time for you to perish Alvarez!" said Basalt as he held Zane in the air. Both hands were around Zane's neck and the Maferno smiled at this.
Even if the Cross Species bonded with a Vordlarin, Basalt was sure that he was still going to die by blocking the airflow to his neck and brain. Struggling to breathe right, Zane's face was slowly becoming blue and pale. "I think this moment will be your biggest failure even more when you failed back on Earth." said Basalt. Zane slowly closed his eyes when he began smiling. "Why are you smiling?" said Basalt.
Zane began speaking through labor breaths as he said,"You're forgetting why I'm so feared and beloved in the Omniverse Basalt. I think it was the Scarlet Demon who said it first but my true power isn't just my strength but the power of the bonds I've made through my life. Matrix! Show him what our bond really means!". The peanut gallery watched Zane’s right arm move on its own and a glowing platinum energy ball appeared in the hand.
Like before on the Armada's cargo hold, the Impulse there was stronger than normal and creating that bass/thunder sound but it wasn't as loud as before. The ball was growing in size and was tossed toward Basalt's face. It detonated and there was an explosion of black ,with a crimson red outline, lightning. It sent everyone ,except for a few, flying back. Once it stopped, the area around the ball was destroyed and the ground was torn apart.
Basalt was sent flying against the forcefield, hitting it hard. The being was sliding down the forcefield and faceplanted into the ground. "Holy crap. That was so cool!" said Veto. Danny looked at Zane with the Cross Species trying to catch his breath. "So are you okay man? And did you mean to use lightning earlier?" said Danny. "I'm fine." said Zane, ignoring the lightning question once again. "So I shouldn't have to ask but do you need me to help you handle or do you got this?" said Danny.
He saw the raw determination in his brother's eyes with him smiling. "I don't get why I even asked you this. You got this. Just kick his ass already and don't hold back this time. If you do and die again, I'm going to kick your ass." said Danny. He ran off as Crisis Judgement went off and Zane turned to see Basalt charging toward him with pure, smoldering anger in his eyes. "You'll pay for that Alvarez!” said Basalt.
The Cross Species smiled with him making a portal and it swallowed up Basalt. "Take care of the others. Basalt is mine!" said Zane, flying into the portal after him and it closed. The portal reopened with Basalt and Zane flying toward the ground within the forcefield. The two began exchanging various blows with each other. Each blow was creating a noticeable shockwave and Basalt landed a uppercut to Zane, sending him flying into the air.
Zane smiled as he slammed his enlarged feet into Basalt with the Maferno getting sent into the ground even faster. Basalt's impact caused a huge cloud of dust to emerge from the forest. Zane saw that Basalt was in a massive crater and watched from above. "So are you going to do something or what?" said Matrix. "I may have met Basalt the one time but if I'm right, he'll be mad about this." said Zane. Basalt stood back up with him taking a deep breath. "You will pay for doing that Alvarez." said Basalt.
The Maferno released a huge wave of lava from his body and this burned everything around him. He sent it toward the descending Zane who absorbed it with ease. "Void Absorption." said Zane, cracking his neck. "I think it's time we end this." said Zane as he began pumping his Impulse into the air around him and his emotions with the latter increasing his strength. It was at a point where the pressure that was coming off Zane was enough to bother Basalt despite him being in no way weak.
Basalt glared at him as he said,"So are you ready to seriously fight me? I should let you know that I'm stronger than I was four years ago.". "You damn right I am and don't forget that I'm not the not same being from back then as well. Let me show you what I mean by that you lava-spewer bastard!" said Zane. "Words alone will only get you so far in the Omniverse if you don't have the power to back it up Zane! You have the power to rule over the Omniverse but no." said Basalt.
The Maferno cracked his neck as he said,"You decide to help which is the worst possible outcome you can do with it.". He began making several magma meteors and launching them toward Zane. The hero stood there calmly with him holding Lazarus Soul in its true form. He held his soul sword toward the magma meteors and unleashed a huge array of two types of energy fist-shaped constructs. These two energies are Carnal and Mojo.
Zane's energy shells pierced right through the meteors with Basalt looking at Zane. "The weapon is powerful just as I remember and I shouldn't take it lightly unlike that devil." thought Basalt. "If you honestly think that will stop me, you got another thing coming!" said Zane with a smirk and unleashed three massive hammer shaped constructs. The Maferno unleashed a massive wave of magma with him thinking that Zane's feeble attack was burned away but something hit him in the stomach and harder.
It was a massive wave of molten gold Liasada. It pushed the conqueror back and he clutched his midsection in pain, falling to his left knee. "What was that?" thought Basalt. "If you think that would stop me, I'm here to prove you wrong. If you take me lightly like so many before you, I'll make you regret that decision." said Zane as he rested the sword lazily over his right shoulder. It gave Basalt the impression of I don't give a damn and that the Cross Species was mocking him.
Basalt growled and stood back up with him saying,"Oh. You want me to take you serious. That's a joke Zane.". Zane looked at Basalt with him moving the sword off his shoulder. "The Omniverse has an expression. The pot calling the kettle black. You can't call me out for taking you lightly when you have done the same." said Basalt. "You're right. I do tend to do that but right now, I'm not. Now get back up so I can kick your ass and do you admit your defeat?" said Zane, aiming his sword at Basalt.
He didn't get a response and unleashing a barrage of Primordial bombs from the sword. "So are you sure about this plan Zane? I mean Basalt is really strong and considered to be a high level threat. I mean he killed you!" said Havoc. "Listen here Slimey." said Matrix. "Slimey?" said Havoc. "Zane here may be an idiot when it comes to my feelings and constantly getting himself into life ending situations but in a fight, you can have complete trust in him." said Matrix.
Astaroth rolled his eyes as he said,"She's right Havoc. Whatever Zane went through earlier, I'm sure that he doesn't plan on losing. Lets see what you're going to do Zane.". "Climactic Clash." said Zane with him holding his sword in front of him and began focusing all of his energy into the blade. It began glowing molten gold and steel gray. After the explosion faded, Basalt unleash a barrage of magma meteors in order to tire Zane out.
Zane didn't try to dodge Basalt's attack and began rushing toward the Maferno. Once he got close, he slashed Basalt in the chest and Zane appeared behind the Maferno who growled as he was being sliced repeatedly with each slice causing a shockwave afterwards. "Damn you!" yelled Basalt as he unleashed a giant stream of magma and it was more intense than normal since the Maferno was even more pissed off. Even though he could handle the heat, Zane decided to dodge it just to piss Basalt off more.
Seeing no other choice to end Zane, he unleashed a stream of lava/magma at Zane. This stream looked like several volcanoes unleashed their fury at once and aimed at one source. Zane stopped and looked at the stream with a smile. "Time for you to cool down Basalt. Ocean Emperor Absolute Method: Dragon's Rage!" said Zane as the area around him was covered in water. Instead of aiming one of his arms at Basalt's magma stream, Zane aimed his sword at the stream.
It unleashed the massive water dragon. Instead of boiling away, the dragon pushed its way right through the magma and hit Basalt directly. The Maferno caught up blood as he was sent flying through several trees before hitting the ground hard. Due to his enhancements, he was going to recover from this and his fiery rage was only going to get stronger. He coughed out some water that went right into his lungs earlier and glared at Zane. Due to his natural ability to use lava/magma, the water was gone.
Basalt charged toward Zane with him planning on smashing Zane into the ground. His arms grew in size with Zane blocking both of Basalt's fists using his sword. The impact make a noticeable shockwave upon contact. This create a clash between the two before Basalt used his superior strength to assert dominance over Zane. However, Zane expected this to happen so he decided to act upon Plan B. He broke off the clash by jumping back and it caused Basalt to slam his fists right into the ground.
He didn't keep his eyes off Zane who went toward the sole tree ,that survived everything, and used it as a springboard, launching himself toward Basalt. Due to how fast Zane was moving, he was unable to block the charging hero. "Take this!" said Zane with him slashing the Maferno twenty times and after this slash, he made his rifle Termination appear and it was being held in the air using telekinesis. He made Lazarus Soul disappear with him fired the rifle directly in Basalt's face.
This caused a massive explosion of Zane's signature electricity to hit the Maferno head on. Zane used this explosion to make some distance between this and his opponent. After putting the rifle back in his pocket dimension, Zane charged toward Basalt but the Maferno was ready this time around. He blocked Zane's sword and was about to slam his enlarged arm into Zane. However, Zane dodged the strike and aimed his sword at Basalt. "Primordial Bolt!" said Zane.
After saying that, he began unleashing several small blasts of Primordial energy at Basalt. To block Zane's attack, Basalt unleashed his magma meteors. While this was going on, Zane landed on the ground and aimed his sword toward Basalt who saw Zane planning something. He fired several magma storms at Zane and the Cross Species smiled. "Tyrannus Spheroid!" said Zane as he unleashed a giant sphere of Tyrannus Nether toward Basalt.
The magma storms clashed with the Tyrannus Nether with their clash creating an massive explosion and sending dust flying. Even thought Basalt was covering his face with his left arm alone, he kept a close eye on Zane just in case he was planning something sneaky. "Worthy Arrow!" shouted Zane but Basalt heard it from all around him. Basalt looked to see several molten golden energy arrows flying toward him with Basalt beginning to dodge them.
Due to the amount and speed of the arrows, it was hard for him to dodge all of them and they hurt. Lets just that Basalt wasn't happy about Zane having complete control over their fight. "Quit mocking me with these attacks and fight me like a man!" shouted Basalt with him unleashing a giant amount of magma/lava from his body. This caused the entire forest around him to get engulf in flames and he saw several clones of Zane getting burned alongside the plants.
Basalt saw Zane standing there with his arms crossed. Crisis Judgement went off as Zane muttered to himself,"No shit he's going to attack with me something big. I don't need you telling me that. He's super obvious.". "Die!" yelled Basalt with him unleashed several giant blasts of magma/lava went straight toward Zane who stood there. "Akostar Barrier!" thought Zane as both of his arms were covered in his Akostar energy and formed a barrier around himself.
Matrix looked around as she said,"This barrier won't last forever since it's connected to your stamina. Do something before you become a scorched Zero! And no! That doesn't sound good!". "You may have a way to prevent me from burning you but not for much longer. Once that happen Zane, I'll be sure to display your skeleton to those precious friends and watch in utter joy as I break their spirit!" said Basalt with a smile.
Zane sighed as he said,"Oh my gods. Shut the hell up. I thought you weren't like those villains I fight on Earth. A loudmouth idiot who eventually gets a beatdown from yours truly.". Several magma meteors went flying toward Zane as they hit the barrier alongside the blasts. "Zane! I won't stand for your mouth any longer!" roared Basalt. "Nah. I need to marry my childhood sweetheart and get another to open to her new friends!" said Zane.
He left the barrier and he noticed Basalt's magma/lava was chasing him down. This battle between good and evil was no way close to be finish. Up above the two, the Paradoxes plus Lorelei was watching the fight since Nemesis and Rivart were busy with something Zane left behind. It was several invisible barriers and these barriers were part of Unworldly Labyrinth according to Arya. "I still can't believe how much of a badass Zane is! I mean all of you Terrans are but Zane is the most badass." said Vlad.
Turseek nodded as he said,"Yeah. I mean he came back from the dead. Has that ever been done before now?". "Maybe from a zombie like being." said Ralad with Lorelei sighing. "I don't think he was looking for an answer." said Lorelei. "I'm just impressed how he's able to fight your old man and make him look like a joke. I mean their fight is destroying the planet below him." said Kitt. "While my father is strong, his method of fighting is rather basic to figure out." said Sitara.
She looked down at Basalt with her saying,"If he wasn't a monster in combat, I could defeat him. One way or another, my father was going to lose one day. Even though he is pushing Zane to dodge, he will eventually fall. We need to make sure Zane has no problems in his fight.". "But those barriers are still up." thought Altair with him pointing to the pissed off Nemesis and Rivart. "Yeah but those barriers may break. Keep your guard up." said Malik.
Veto looked at Vlad as he said,"Hey Vlad. Do you think they are any wagers on this fight going on and is it possible for us to get in on these wagers for a quick buck?". "I think that can be arranged." said Vlad with him smirking. "And I think we'll be the ones keeping our guard up since the fight has their full attention Malik." said Sitara. "I thought boys got smarter over time." said Lorelei. "Nope. We only get dumber as we grow." said Ralad with Malik not denying that in the slightest.
Back below, Zane sighed as he avoided another wave of magma/lava from Basalt. "You got nowhere to hide Zane since nothing you can do will allow you to escape your demise!" said Basalt. For longer than he would have liked, Zane was forced to keep moving so he could prevent getting parts of his body burned away. He could easily recover from it but it would get annoying after a while. If he tried to do anything while standing in place, a powerful attack made of magma/lava rushed toward him.
Even though Zane started the fight in favor, it seems that Basalt was making sure that he was the one leading this fight rather than the other way around. "What's the matter hero?! Weren't you going to defeat me and save your precious friends from dying!" said Basalt as he kept up the pressure of his fiery assault. "He would if you let him fight!" said Matrix with Havoc agreeing with her. In the lab, Arya joined the trio of Janet, Parker, and Velda with the four watching Zane's fight.
Arya clenched her fists as she said,"Come on Zane! Kick that guy's butt already!". "She does know that Zane could hear her even if she whispered right? And how did he come back from the dead in the first place? He was absorbed into that sword." said Velda. "Shut up! I know that but I want to make sure that Zane knows that I believe in him! You want him to win too right Velda?! It's because you like Zane just like Rae does." said Arya.
Her comment made Velda look away from the group. "Shut up. Of course I do but not in the way you're insulating." muttered Velda with a blush on her face. "I never thought I would see you act like a schoolgirl Velda. It's a nice change if you ask me." said Janet. "We just need to have faith in him since well ladies, we're about to see Zane's ultimate power in action." said Parker. "Do you mean that or the strength of bonds Zane use to become the strongest Zero?" said Janet.
Parker nodded as he said,"Janet. You're both wrong and right. The strength of his bonds and that are the same thing.". "Strength of bonds? What does that mean?" said Arya and Velda. "Just watch and you will see." said Parker. Back on the battlefield, Basalt stopped his assault of magma and crossed his arms with him loudly groaning as Zane landed on the ground. He was bleeding a bit. "I'm sure that you can't unleash your full power when I'm forcing you to move around like that." said Basalt.
Basalt looked at Zane as he said,"All I'm doing is prevent you from giving it your all. I'll give you this Zane Alvarez. You manage to give me a challenge in the times that we fought but in the end, you'll fall like you did before. You may have gotten stronger but you're still weak!". With just the thought of losing all of them especially Rachel due to someone like Basalt, the thought alone pissed him off. He was feeling the exact same as he did back during the Massacre.
When he lost Karen, Kristen, Nova, Rain, Roxy, and Sierra thanks to the duo of Bimbo and Kilene. He was being reminded of seeing Rachel and the others crying their eyes at their "funeral" and in the hospital, he began breathing heavily and his fists were balled hard. Candy syrup blood was dripping from them thanks to his stingers piercing his skin. "Basalt. I may respect you for being determined for what you want but you made a fatal mistake." said Zane through clenched teeth.
Basalt noticed Zane's fists as he said,"Oh. Did I upset you Zane? There is no needed for you to get so angry because well, I plan to make their deaths quick and painless. You can join them if you want.". He said all of this with a cruel smile on his face. Hearing this, something inside of Zane broke. Zane's breathing got more hectic and began growling like an enraged monster. His body began shaking uncontrollably as he continued to inhaled and exhale raggedly.
Zane'ss smile ,which could bring hope and joy to others, wasn't there. He had a look on his face that would kill anyone ten times over due to the shadow covering everything except his eyes which were beginning to glow. It still had its signature spark of determination and rebellion no doubt but there was an intent to kill rising up to service. "Oh yes. It seems that something is going on with him. I wonder if I can bring out to the surface." thought Basalt.
The Maferno nodded as he said,"Oh yes. This will be so much fun but there comes a problem. Who should I start with? The brother of yours who has been a major screw up from day one and failed you when you need him most? The redheaded devil? Oh what am I saying? I'm going to kill her first since you shouldn't deserve anyone to love.". He was pretty sure that single threat of his broke the straw on the camel's back and would cause Zane to rage out, giving Basalt the chance to kill him.
Instead of getting angry like he expected, Zane took a deep breath and smirked. "You saying that means you've never lost before but that isn't the case since I defeated you before if you recall." said Zane. He was in no way tired and was sure that this fight was just getting started. "If you give up now and stand by my side, I'll let you rule over that place you call home. If you refuse my generous offer, I will destroy everything and everyone you care about." said Basalt.
After hearing that, Zane's face had an expression of pure rage on him. His teeth were clenched tightly together, his storm gray eyes were glowing with pure rage, and multi colored ,being all of his different forms of Impulse coming out, veins throbbing all over. His face looked so intense that it made Basalt shiver. "So what are you will do Zane? Accept his offer and hurt innocent beings just to keep those you care about dear? Or will you keep on fighting." said a female voice.
Instead of being concerned by the new voice, Zane blinked as he said,"Seriously? You've been stalking me for my entire life. I'm a protector not a ruler so ruling over others really isn't my thing.". "I'm just making sure. So are you ready to give this bastard his just desserts?" said the voice. "Yep and if you're going to contact me, don't act like him. I mean you're better than that Morana. So when we're done with Basalt, you'll let me hear my teammates again right?" said Zane.
Morana giggled as she said,"Of course. I mean Astaroth, Havoc, and Matrix can live without you for a few minutes.". Zane looked at Basalt with him smirking. "Okay Basalt. I know what to do. It's time for me to win and no longer holding back. If I do, I'll lose what I hold dear and I never want that to happen again! You want an precise answer from me Basalt but honestly, I doubt you expected this as an answer." said Zane.
Baslt growled as Morana said,"Okay then Zane. To activate this power, you need to remain calm by emptying your mind and focus on the good parts rather than the bad.". "Seriously? You're doing this right now. I know how to activate Albion even though I've never never used it until now." said Zane. "Whatever Zane. I'm just trying to make things fun for you." said Morana. "Morana. Cole has been doing this kind of stuff for years so it doesn't bother me." said Zane.
Zane smiled as he said,"And I'm sure that Matrix will be doing it since she's more like Cole than Athena much to her dismay.". "I bet you're happy that she can't hear you so she doesn't shock you?" said Morana. "Yeah but she's a girl." said Zane with a smile. Zane's watch instantly projects a holographic image above it. It comes in the form of the Greek letter for Psi "Ψ" and it's a platinum color. "What is he doing down there? That power is off the charts!" said Nemesis.
Cinarva smiled as she thought,"Zane is unleashing his full power. Show him what happens when you get mad. I know about the first time you let your rage get the better of you thanks to Parker but this time, you're in control of it brother.". "I hope you're ready Basalt. You won't be hurting Rae or anyone I care about ever again!" said Zane, touching the Greek letter. Upon touching it, his watch glows and covers his entire body in platinum colored energy. This energy blinded the ones watching above.
The energy engulfed Zane in a aura of platinum colored energy and makes an sphere around him. The sphere slowly floated a few feet above the ground. "This sphere of yours won't stop me Zane!" yelled Basalt, unleashing a huge stream of lava/magma at the sphere. Instead of burning the sphere away, the hot substance fell onto the ground. "Is this your plan?! Hiding from me!? Why not face the truth?! You will fail them!" said Basalt. He kept bringing the heat and the sphere didn't show any cracks.
Basalt was getting ready to fire another shot of the EC at Zane. The sphere eventually cracked wide open, releasing a wave of platinum colored energy that sent Basalt flying back. Basalt landed with him seeing Zane's new appearance. The energy eventually fades, revealing a changed looking Zane. Zane’s skin turns dark gray and his eyes change colors as well. His eyes have pure white sclera, molten gold irises, and cerulean blue pupils.
In the center of his forehead, he had a third eye which is open at all times. His third eye is different compared to his main set of eyes. He has a obsidian black sclera and it's missing the molten gold iris that his two eyes have. His third eye's pupil is in the shape of a cross and is a golden amber color. His eyes became more stern with it showing great intensity and focus in them. They also radiate with energy and have a strong superiority to them.
Zane's eyes would make the most hardened individuals tense up if given a look from him. His hair looks wavy with it flowing upwards and gives it a rising, flame-like appearance. The tips of his hair was standing up at the end. His hair changes to a carmine red color. His ears are now pointed similar to an elf. He has sharp wolf like teeth coming out of his mouth with two fangs sticking out of his mouth and these two ,three inch long, fangs point upwards.
His mouth is closed at the moment but inside of his mouth, he has a forked tongue with it being seven inches long. His nose looked like a snout of a dragon rather than a human's nose but only on close examination. Protruding from his head, there are two metallic looking horns ,about six inches through his hairline, with them being colored reddish black with a flame like pattern to them aka Vulcan Emperor's scales.
The upper half of his body and most of his face ,excluding his eyes and nose, are also covered by his Vulcan Emperor Scales. Zane now has four arms coming from his body. One set of arms come from his shoulders like normal and the second set of arms appear right under the first set of arms thanks to a second set of shoulder blades. His torso is longer than normal because of his second set of arms. His upper sets of arms are like dragon arms with five carmine red claws rather than regular nails.
His arms match Astral Form's arms in terms of their appearance. It's black ,with several white star like dots scattered all over the limb, and covered in a bright turquoise aura. His arms ,from his elbow upwards, are covered in Vulcan Emperor's scales and looks similar to chain mail. His "chainmail" are reddish black ,being metallic and a flame like pattern, scales. The other set of arms ,aka the lower set of arms, doesn't changed too drastic.
He has a dragon like tail which is covered in Zane's Vulcan Emperor scales. The end of his tail is an arrow-headed spade with it being an obsidian black color and it's made of fur which is really soft. His clothing looked different. He's wearing a form-fitting armor that isn’t too tight and hugs his muscular figure very well. It’s a black light-armored shirt. Zane's shirt abdomen/chest is a platinum color with the sides of the shirt being a steel gray color.
It does a great job at outline his muscles, mimicking body armor. This shirt’s collar covers his neck. His shirt collar is actually a metal plate and used for protection against strikes to his neck. His shirt has an interesting design to them. It's a black tribal dragon tattoo with it having a crimson red background. The background is a molten gold pentagram surrounded by a magic circle. The entire thing was made out of ancient runes.
His two shoulders are both protected by platinum armored shoulder pads, mimicking the appearance of a pauldron. Like with Astral Form, he’s wearing a cape. It’s made out of a gaseous material. It can't be grab or anything and drapes off his shoulders. He wears long black pants with the sides of his pants having a molten gold stripe on the left pant leg and a steel gray stripe on the right pant leg. He wears his Z.E.R.O. Armor belt. He wears black combat boots/running shoes.
Zane's shoes have gold piping, silver titanium mesh straps, and steel soles. It now goes up to his shins. His shoes are lightweight but durable for combat. His shoes are attached to his pants. He wears platinum armored knee pads. Zane is wearing something interesting on his lower left arm. The object that he wears is the Z.E.R.O. Watch in its brand new combat mode. It covers his knuckles up to his elbow. It’s a black metal-like tight fitting fingerless gauntlet.
You can’t see a speck of skin of his arm when it is in combat mode. There are several crimson red lines from the faceplate to each one of his fingers. On the back of the knuckles, there is white squared areas. The lines that connect the middle and ring fingers together forms a "Z" shape. In the center of the gauntlet, there is a black and round faceplate with a steel gray band/dial switch around the faceplate with it having molten gold stripes, forming an “LZ” outline.
On each side of the faceplate, it has five symmetrical, gray tubings/vent going down from each side of the device. The Z.E.R.O. Watch looks built into his arm and muscle. He is wearing a glove on his lower right arm that’s similar to the Z.E.R.O. watch in its combat mode. He wears a black fingerless glove that goes up to his elbow. This glove completely covers his arm with it showing none of his skin. It has the crimson red lines over it in the same pattern as the watch and the white square areas over his knuckles.
Zane wears black sunglasses that are in the shape of a visor that cover all three of his eyes. His visor is connected to black ,with steel gray lining, headphones like earpieces that have a gold "LZ" on them. The headphones go over his ears. His face is covered by a platinum face mask attached and the only thing not covered is his hair. His body is covered in a massive aura of platinum colored energy. It looks to be a steady flow of energy and looks to be similar to a burning flame.
He's constantly emitting misty wisps of royal blue colored energy. These wisps of energy look like electricity that's coming off his body. The ground below him is shaking due to the power releasing from his body. He eventually took a deep breath with the ground no longer shaking. "The ground is done shaking finally." said Turseek. "Yeah but this quiet won't last given who is fighting. Why is so quiet down there though? I mean I can't sense energy whatsoever but this is a bad thing right?" said Vlad.
No one could give him an answer due to Zane's current appearance. "What is that power you have now Zane?" muttered Basalt as he nodded. Zane didn't answer him at first with him looking over himself. With his upper set of arms, he inspected the horns coming out of his head. They felt hard as Vulcan Emperor's scales. "This is Albion. I like it a lot. It's like all of my powers combined into one. It outshines Archon Zero Master and Omni Mode without a doubt." thought Zane.
He punched the air in front of him using his bottom set of his arms and cracked his upper set of his arms knuckles. "Yeah. I really need to figure out a way to activate this without the whole transformation sequence. Compared to my other transformations, this one takes time and any time wasted during a fight is bad. I mean it's cool now but I'm sure after a while, I'll get sick of it. May take a while to that though." thought Zane.
Morana smiled as she said,"Don't worry Zaney. I'll help you figure that out once we're alone since I'm the only woman strong enough to take you on especially when you're like this. You're oozing power and well, it's a total turn on for me.". "Okay then. You should know that I'm not interested in you whatsoever. Oh sweet. I'm not talking like a snake so I'm really thankful that Eros doesn't talk like that." said Zane with his voice sounding deep and calm.
The female voice giggled as she said,"You say that but trust me, you'll be falling for my charms Zane! I mean your voice alone is turning me on!". "Oh joy. I can't wait for that day and another training session with you Morana. You make the twins's training session look cute." said Zane, rolling his eyes. "Just like them." said Morana with her smiling. "Yeah you're right. They won't be happy about hearing me dying but I'll deal with that at a later date." said Zane. "Good idea." said Morana.
Upon activating Albion, everyone above them could feel the energy Zane was feeling. "No way! That is Zane right?" said Rachel. "Of course it is. Can't you tell?" said Danny whose smile was only growing bigger. "Not really Danny." said Rachel. "Trust him on this Rachel. That is my little brother's Impulse right now." said Cinarva. "Little brother?" said Allen and Gwen. "So what in the nine realms did we miss?" said Rachel. "A lot and we'll explain everything once this is all over." said Malik.
Vlad smirked as he said,"Trust me when I say this princess, there is a lot to discuss and it will blow your mind.". "Yep! I guess this is why Parker had Albion built into him! It kicks so much ass! Go Zane!" said Danny, looking at Zane. As Morana and Zane were talking, Basalt looked right at Zane. "This amount of power in a being should be impossible but Zane is stronger than anyone I've ever met. His body should have long since exploded due to how much power is at his disposal but it doesn't." thought Basalt.
Zane smirked as he said,"So like my new look Basalt? I call it Albion. Your defeat starts now.". "It matters not Zane since well, I'm still the stronger one. Oh. You seem so confident. Fine then. I've been wanting a rematch with you for a long time now. I'll admit that you're the only being who'll stop my Omniversal conquest." said Basalt. "If you seriously think that killing me will allow you control of the Omniverse, you got another thing coming." said Zane.
The Cross Species cracked all of his knuckles as he said,"You're going down. I already thought that I lost Allen, Danny, Gwen, Rachel, and Ralad today because of you and Parker's pets. I think it's time for you to learn your place!". The two enemies charged right toward each other with their clash creating a powerful explosion. This clash of power sent pieces of rubble ,of every size, flying across the forest with the destruction from their fight only getting bigger from here.
Within five minutes, the forest area of Parker's summer planet was turned into a battleground. The duo of Basalt and Zane fought with neither of them holding back. After their initial clash, Basalt moved back and stuck his hands into the ground. He threw a massive piece of the ground toward Zane who dodged it by flying into the air. "Okay. I know why Basalt is known for never staying dead." thought Zane as he flew toward and began exchanging blows with Basalt.
Despite his stronger body, each one of Zane's hits did hurt. With his lower left arm, he began making a Zenith Spear except it looked slightly different. It was a platinum color instead of the signature dark indigo ,with a black and white outline, lightning. Basalt easily caught Zane's arm with him planning on swat the annoying bug away but this plan failed due to Zane having three other arms. The Cross Species hit the Maferno with three Zenith Punches two in the face and gut.
This attack pushed the magma being back before glaring at Zane. "I'll admit that this new power of yours is by definition powerful but you will not stop me so easily. Is this the being I've deemed to be my rival?" said Basalt. "Thanks for the compliment Basalt. I'm just getting started so be ready for the power I wield." said Zane as he held out his hands. The ground once again shook with Basalt feeling how much stronger Zane was getting.
Basalt looked at him saying,"So I guess that you decided to tap into the full power of your hybrid blood with this new appearance of yours.". "You're right. I needed a power to access the same level I used on Kilene without losing myself to anger. I haven't had a chance to test it out on a living opponent so are you ready to go?" said Zane. Crisis Judgement went off as Basalt began firing several balls of magma toward Zane.
Each ball was about the size of an African bush elephant and they looked like a meteor. Zane easily dodged them by moving back and the magma meteors burned the ground. "It's a real good thing that we're a good feet away from the others huh." thought Zane as Basalt charged toward him. The two began brawling with Basalt getting a good hit on Zane's face who responded by kicking Basalt's right arm.
Using his other two arms, Zane began firing platinum energy blasts toward Basalt. This caused Basalt to glare at Zane who smiled. He vanished with him aiming all four hands at them. Each hand fired a massive energy beam at Basalt and the two were engulfed in a massive explosion. It sent the Maferno back a couple of feet and into the air. Upon hitting the ground, Basalt created a massive crater and sent a huge amount of dust into the air. "I guess you didn't like that huh." said Zane.
Basalt looked up to see Zane floating above him with both arms crossed over his chest. "That wasn't bad Alvarez but if you think that simple energy blasts will stop me, you got another coming boy. I wonder if this is your full power." said Basalt as he emerged from the crater. "If you think that, you got another thing coming." said Zane. "You can't be serious. You at your peak is using Astral Form since that form has the power of the Eazairvian!" said Basalt.
Zane looked at him as he said,"You're right but how do you know that exactly?". "When I decided to go after you and the power you wield at your fingertips, I contact Vuldall to give me all of the information that he had on your watch and you. I didn't expect to fight against someone like you and Vuldall turning into a female." said Basalt. "Yeah. I learned that things don't always turn out how you initially plan them. If you're so curious, I think I will just show you." said Zane.
He smiled as his eyes closed. He vanished from sight with Basalt looking for his rival. He was kicked in the head by Zane reappearing. "You damn pest! This ends now!" roared Basalt with him charging up energy and fired the EC at Zane. "Wow. Someone is pissed." said Zane, aiming his four hands at Basalt and unleashing a giant platinum energy beam at Basalt's shot. The two beams clashed with them trying to force the other one back.
Zane added more power into his beam as he said,"Come on Magma Dome. Is that all you got? I'm just getting started.". This pushed back Basalt's beam much to his annoyance. As Zane's beam got closer and closer to him, Basalt had only one thought running through his head. "No. I can't go out like this damn you. I refuse to lose to him again!" thought Basalt as he began summoned every scrap of energy he had and put it all into his attack.
His beam quadrupled in size with it pushing back Zane's attack like it was nothing at all. "Uh oh." said Zane as he was engulfed by Basalt's attack. The beam tore through the area and this beam disintegrating everything in its path until it finally exploded. Basalt stood there with a smile. "I defeated you Zane finally ." thought Basalt. "Don't count your eggs before they hatch is an expression you should really start to follow." said a voice.
Basalt turned around to see Zane without any wounds. "How did you?" said Basalt as he was punched by Zane. Zane looked at Basalt with the Cross Species not saying a single word and normally, this wouldn't piss Basalt but it did this time. "Fine. Remain silent." said Basalt with him making a massive ball of magma appear above him. "I'm going to crush you. The outcome of our fight has been decided from the start. This is the end of your life Zane. I hope you made it count. Die Zane!" said Basalt.
