Zero Episode 41 The Battalion

A/N: Welcome to Episode 41 which is a big old fashioned bad guy team up. Their team is called the Battalion, I would call them something else but Battalion sounds cool. We're going to learn about the  the Z.E.R.O. watch in this part and how it works slightly more. I should have done this way back in episode 13 but meh what are you going do. I don't think ahead with my stories because I believe in the moment rather the minute.

Narrator P.O.V.
Outside of Heartstone Medical Hospital, a female doctor was talking with a patient. "Carlos. I'm very proud of you." said the doctor. Carlos Oritz aka Cinder stood there with him wearing a new suit ,with it looking just like his first costume from EP 3, and it was made to contain his power. "You've had some great progress in the time you've been here with us. You may need to continue therapy but I know you'll do great things even with your powers." said the doctor.

Cinder smiled as he said,"I owe it all to you doc. Have a good rest of your day.". She walked back inside as Cinder walked over to a payphone. "I still can't believe that there's a telefono publico de monedas outside of the hospital." said Cinder. He placed a coin and he dialed a certain number. "I'm free as a pajaro now. So what's the plan?" said Cinder. "Well done Carlos. I'm so happy to hear that you're finally free." said the voice.

Cinder said,"So what's the plan? I mean Bedrock is still in the slammer and it's out of town.". "Don't worry. You'll get your revenge on him soon enough." said the voice. "Yeah. I mean taking down that annoying mocoso is music to my ears. You, Bedrock, and I are a perfect trio to take him down." said Cinder. "Trio? You think that but I was thinking six no seven members. See you soon Cinder." said the voice. Cinder hanged up as he flew off using his fire power.

Meanwhile at Thunder Cove Detention Center's main yard, George Richard stood there as he went over to Occult Master. "I've been informed that you'll be needing my and Titan's service soon." said OM. "Correct. I think having two magic men will scream perfection. See you soon Occult." said George. He walked past a security guard with the guard heading back inside. He turned into Cyber as she said,"Soon. Revenge will be mine.".

In her security guard guise, she was walking in the super human section of the prison as she placed her hand on the wall. To the security guard, she placed her hand on the wall for no reason but she was sending her chips through the system. She stopped in front of a cell placing some food in the slot as it went inside. "Please stay away from the door or a high amount of voltage will be released to effect Titan aka Alonzo Barrett." said an automated voice. "I've heard you the first time." said Titan.

She later stood in front of Bedrock's cell as she placed her food inside. "Please stay away from the door or you'll be blasted with a high stream of water Bedrock aka Walter Davis." said the voice. "I can't believe this. You know that I asked for a steak not this flabby sandwich!" said Bedrock. He threw the sandwich at the door with the guard saying,"Just save room then Bedrock. You won't be disappointed in Legion Zero grilled just right.".

Later that night, Cinder was standing outside of the prison as he said,"Are you sure that this plan will work boss?". He had a headset on as he heard,"Correct. You have met your allies. One is with you and the other is finishing her part.". The pyro looked up to see Jester standing there as Cinder said,"I usually don't doubt you but this payaso.". "I got this so keep them busy." said Jester. He was gone as Cinder released a giant burst of flames alerting the guards.

They aimed their guns at him as Cinder said,"Yeah. That ain't going to work.". He fired a giant burst of flames out causing the guards to duck as they hit the generator causing an explosion. The prison was turned off as the alarm went off. Titan stood up as he said,"Thank fucking god!". He broke out of his cell with the door crashing into the wall which broke Bedrock's cell freeing him. "Hell yeah! Lets go kid." said Bedrock. The two highfived as they ran off.

The two found themselves in the main prison area as Titan said,"So who should free?". "Not sure. I got an idea. Lets free them over." said Bedrock. He turned his arms into rock with them stretching out and breaking out of the cell doors. Prisoners ran out as the two saw Emperor and Occult Master with Bedrock saying,"This is a great night.". "Yeah. Lets go." said OM. Titan ,in a bigger state, soon broke down the doors as the others followed him.

Titan was soon hit with stun guns as they did nothing. "Sorry but when I'm big, electricity does jack to me." said Titan. He grabbed the wires and he swung them away. The four soon hid behind a wall as OM said,"So why can they use their powers and we can't? I thought we had these dam collars on.". "I had our friends make sure that Bedrock and Titan's collar just happen to miswork. Our partners will be here right now." said George.

The wall in front of them exploded as the four ran through the hole. Cinder stood there as George said,"It's good to see you in person Carlos.". "Not to be rude or nothing but I like the name Cinder now. So where's the fantasma and that woman?" said Cinder. "That's fair. So would you mind freeing us from the collars?" said George. Cinder nodded as he fired four small streams of fire ,from his right hand, burning them in half. "Wow. I don't even feel the burn." said Titan.

The five looked up to see a helicopter with an unmanned pilot. Jester reappeared in the cockpit as he said,"Get in. Computer girl and the other one are back at base.". The five jumped on with Cinder looking back at the prison. "Destroy it. It doesn't matter." said George. Cinder then threw a massive fireball back at the prison causing it to exploded in a burst of flames. "So it's game time." said Titan cracking his knuckles. "Time to bring the end of Legion Zero." said George.

In the morning, Zane was slowly walking up. "Man. I can't believe that I was up all night testing out Brawn Form. I love Saturdays because I can just sleep in until noon." said Zane. He put on his normal clothes as he activated his watch. "Hey Athena and Cole. So can you tell me why I grow over 10 feet in some of my forms but others I shrunk." said Zane. "Your forms are basically fancy suits of armors being that they can be used in different spots." said Athena.

Cole said,"And the reason why you're so big or short is because I can't see Brain Form being so dam big and Brawn Form tiny just makes me laugh out loud.". "Does anyone else in the Omniverse have these powers? I know future me did but he was the catalyst." said Zane as he brushed his teeth. "You are unique in that regard." said Athena. "So what's the plan today? Going to see Kristen." said Cole as Zane headed downstairs.

Zane said,"You would be right Cole except she has shopping plans and she told me that it's just for women. I promised to see her for lunch which is about 2. She knows how lazy I am on Saturdays so I'm heading to Ray's garage.". "To hit him really hard?" said Cole. "Not exactly. He had something to show me so I don't mind going down there." said Zane. He saw that Natasha was just sitting in the living room watching TV.

Zane said,"Mom? What are you still down here? I thought you and Ms. Hunter were going on to see some play today.". "To be honest Zane, I'm not feeling so good. My baby boy has a girlfriend and my adorable grandson is out playing with some friends." said Natasha. "What about Ana? She's home right?" said Zane. "She's walking the dogs right now and planning on helping your grandfather with something today. I'm also not feeling so good." said Natasha.

Zane placed his hand on her forehead as he said,"You feel fine to me. You and Ms. Hunter have been planning on this trip before I became Legion Zero. You need to get out of the lab once in a while and this is the best chance.". He didn't noticed that the TV was showing the mugshots of four super villains Bedrock, George, Occult and Titan with Natasha saying,"You have a point.". Zane then kissed her forehead as he said,"Have fun. You're not getting any younger.". He was hit with a pillow.

Outside of Ray's garage, Zane saw Andre and he said,"Hey man. What are you doing here?". "Dude. I know that I told you that I left my dad's car here. I crashed into Coach Barnett's car." said Andre. "Oh right. I like the bike." said Zane. Andre looked at his bike ,which was a BMW, as he said,"Got it for me Zane. I'm going to take Selena on a stroll. Have fun with Ray. Oh congrats with Kristen by the way. You two are cute together.". He was gone as Zane said,"I wonder what's up with Ray.".

Zane opened the door as he said,"Hey Ray! I'm here so what's...". "Zane!" said Ray. Zane looked at his friend who was covered in grease and he smells something. "Dude. You look awful. How long have you been in the garage? It smells like someone die in here and it sounds like it as well." said Zane. Ray crossed his arms as he said,"I'm not going to ask how what death sounds like. I'm taking a shower so wait here. This is going to be big.".

He was gone as Zane said,"So anything going on in the city?". "Nothing Zane. This is getting strange Zane. No crimes have been happening." said Athena. "Yeah but at least, we have the entire day to ourselves." said Cole. "You may have a point there. Could you tell me something about the upgraded watch?" said Zane looking at the watch. "Sure Zane." said Athena. "Can you explain to me where the cards went? I mean when I activated a transformation, it went into my chest plate." said Zane.

Cole said,"Did our creator not tell you anything? Remember how we met.". "I put on the watch and I heard your voice. I thought I was going crazy until Athena told me about you. I really don't think we should go into detail on that." said Zane. "You can transform by just thinking about it now. Try it but don't pick a big one." said Athena. Zane closed his eyes as he transformed into Mummy Form. He then opened his eyes as he said,"Way too cool.".

Cole said,"Your forms may be very big but you can turn into anyone of your forms with just a single thought. It also comes up as a hologram on your watch with them being in the card format.". Ray stood there ,clean, as he said,"So why go Mummy?". "I wanted to try something. So what do you need me to see?" said Zane as he crossed his arms. "Well follow me your highness." said Ray. He began walking away as Zane tripped him. "I'm not royalty yet." said Zane.

Ray and Zane ,still in Mummy Form, walked into a different part of the garage. Ray said,"You know how you'll be asking for a bike man.". "When have I done that Ray?" said Zane. "When we were kids, I'll also remember fondly." said Ray. "Old man." said Zane. "Says the guy whose going to be a thousand years old at one point. Let me show you to the Astral Bike!" said Ray as the two stopped in a room and he turned on the light.

Zane saw a Black Chrome Kawaski Ninja 300/ZX-14 hybrid bike standing there. the seat is leather with the tire in the back being bigger than the normal sized wheel. It totally looked like it could fit himself and another person on it. "Well. What do you think? I can't tell due to your face being well bandages." said Ray. "It's nice Ray. Thanks. Why did you build this?" said Zane. "I was bored plus I wanted to be a good bro for once." said Ray.

Zane looked at Ray as he said,"Listen. I know that I was a dick about forgetting my engagement to the princess of well your second home. I hurt Tara and she's slowly forgiving me. I'm happy for that but I need to make my bro forgive me. You were my first real pal and I can't compete with Danny but I'll try my best to make you forgive me.". "That's so sweet!" said Cole as he was crying. "Well, you got my A.I. to cry. Lets test this bad boy out." said Zane. "Speaking my language." said Ray.

The two were soon going around the town on their bikes. "Man. This is pretty cool!" said Zane with him wearing a helmet similar to the helmet that he wore in his costume. "Yeah. I wonder what Gadget Form could do it with it." said Ray riding his newly rebuilt bike that was destroyed. Zane smiled as he thought of the form. He turned into Gadget Form as he fused with his bike. "Calling all Cars! It's time to transform!" said Zane. "If you're going to do that, do it an alleyway." said Ray.

Zane drove into an alleyway as Ray followed suit. The bike soon transformed as it has three wheels with the front of the bike is armored. It's body structure is very much like the bike it was before hand with it having gull-wing doors being that you could get on either side. The bike turned a navy blue color with the hood being the starry night, and his logo in the center of it on the hood alongside the two wheels in the back.

Ray said,"Dude. What did you do?". Zane reappeared from the bike as he said,"This isn't your bike Ray. Let me introduce you to the third vehicle of the Astral Realm called Saver.". "So what can't Gadget Form do?" said Ray. "Change anything organic." said Zane. The two heard police sirens as Zane said,"I'll handle it. Thanks for the bike Ray!". Zane jumped into the bike as he drove off. "I guess I'm forgiven in his eyes." said Ray.

At the theater, Natasha was talking with Marcia's mom Kathleen Hunter. She has mid-length brown with it combed back and dark blue eyes. She has a thin but athletic figure with her actually taking judo. She wears a green blouse with a red vest over it, a dark gray skirt, and matching green high heels. She wears gold earrings and necklace. "I heard that this movie is really funny." said Kathleen with Natasha smiling.

Police cars drove by them as they stopped a few blocks from the theater. A swat truck pulled up as the officers aimed their guns at something. An officer said,"Put your hands in the air Titan or else, it won't be pretty.". The officers heard footsteps as the swat officers fired several stun guns at the giant who was growing in size. He smashed through the police barricade as some officers fired stronger bullets at him. He smashed their car.

Natasha was shocked as she said,"That's Titan. I heard that he's part of a trio with Occult Master and Crash.". "Yeah. Marcia tells me about them." said Kathleen. Titan glared at the officer ,who ordered him earlier to stop, and he was about to smash her in giant form. Several cops dog pilled him but he threw them away with ease. He grabbed a car and he threw it right toward the theater with it barely missing the two mothers.

Zane ,in Saver, drove past his mom as Titan was walking past him. Zane jumped out of the bike and he landed on the totaled swat car back in his normal superhero outfit. "Hey Big guy. I told them that no prison could contain you. They tried though and I'm going to be send you back with a whole lot of stamps." said Zane. "Cute Zero. You're one funny guy." said Titan. "Wow. You're actually trying to quip back. So where's Occult and the twerp? You three are usually...." said Zane.

Zane's CJ went off as he thought,"Wait. Titan's in front of me so why is...". He was then punched by a giant rock fist with him landed back first into the theater's sign. He landed on the ground face first as he said,"Yep. That was Bedrock's fist. I remember that fist.". Bedrock stood on the truck as he said,"I didn't know we had to wait. I just gets so antsy.". Zane recovered as Zane said,"Wow. Switching up the game. I didn't know you had it in you Titan.".

He heard Bedrock say,"I guess you can't count huh Legion Zero?". Cyber stood there as she said with a smile,"We're going to enjoy kicking your but for trying to take him away from us.". Zane was slowly standing back up as he heard something. He looked up to see Occult Master floating in the air above them with Countess Chimera and Jester to his left and right respectively. The trio flew right by him as Cinder appeared from the nearby building and flying in the air using flames.

George reappeared in front of the swat truck as the rest of the villains were behind him. "Any last words Zero before we ripped you apart?" said George. "Gods dam it." said Zane. The eight soon walked toward him with Natasha standing in front of Zane. "Natasha my dear. Please move so I can end the little pest between us." said George. "You know him?" said Kathleen. "So you can attack this poor boy? I think not!" said Natasha.

Kathleen grabbed her friend as Zane said,"I'll be fine. I eat punks like them for breakfast. Just get to safety please.". "Let's rush through them!" said Titan. "We can't. I mean killing two old women will bad for our street cred." said Jester. "Do you honestly care about that Jester?" said EC. "The show's about to begin so best get inside! I heard that the popcorn is great with hot sauce!" said Zane. He then pushed the two inside.

Zane said,"I'll be fine. These guys are nothing.". "Are you sure?" said Natasha. Zane was grabbed by Chimera as he said,"Just peachy! Now go to the exit! Leave now!".  Zane was dragged out of the theater as George said,"See you later my sweet.". Kathleen grabbed her friend as the two were gone with OM said,"Fire him back already!". Chimea threw Zane into the air as Jester and Occult blasted him into a billboard hard landing onto a car. Cinder threw a fireball as Zane dodged it barely.   

Inside, the people were going crazy as Kathleen looked at Natasha who looked terrible. "Natasha. Are you okay?" said Kathleen. "My body isn't working at all." said Natasha. She passed out as Kathleen caught her before she fell. "Someone call 911!" yelled Kathleen. Outside, Titan was chasing after the hero as he said,"You guys may have the numbers but I have more power than you and also clones!". He turned into Cartoon Form as he said,"Now! It's time to test this out!".

He and his seven clones turned into Bull Form, Brawn Form, Diamond Form, Frankenstein Form, Liger Form, Radiation Form, Swamp Form, and Werewolf Form. "So only nine? I guess you didn't have enough cred to get the big names." said Swamp Form. Cinder then threw a fireball right at the walking swamp with it going right through him. Bull Form found Occult as he said,"We should get rid of the weakest line first!".

He punched Occult as the bovine grabbed his fist. "What the? It hurt?" said Bull Form. "My normal clothing is laced with magic Legion aka your Achilles!" said OM. He blasted Bull Form back to the Cartoon Form as it disappeared. "In fact, we've learned a lot from watching you fight!" said George as he then threw both Diamond and Frankenstein right toward Bedrock. "And you're out of here!" said Bedrock. The two were gone as they slammed into a giant TV.

All of the clones were soon gone as Zane reappeared covered in bruises. "I can't beat these guys right now so I need to ditch them faster than you can say Pluto." said Zane. He phased through the ground as Cinder tried to hit him with a fireball. Titan looked at the ground and he said,"So should we just rip it or what?". "Not exactly. You and Cyber stay above to keep the police in line. We'll go after the boy and rip him apart." said George.

A magic circle appeared as it fired a giant beam out of it revealing the sewers. The other villains went in the sewer as OM said,"So how are we supposed to find him? He's really good at hiding.". "And he may attack us but you forget about my enhanced senses Occult. I can smell him down there along with several old foods." said Countess. "What about cocodrilos? I heard that they're living down here." said Cinder making his hand into a flame for light.

George said,"I'm impress that you can use your powers now Cinder but you may alert Zero of us.". "I guess you have a point." said Cinder. He went back up as Bedrock said,"I better go with the kid. I'm not the best down here." said Bedrock. "I guessed Bedrock is a big old baby." said Jester. "What did you say clowny?!" said Bedrock. Zane was above them in Camouflage Form with several bugs soon going over him as he thought,"Gross.".

Karen was sitting with Danny, Gwen, Rachel, Ray, and Tara as Danny said,"You just let him go fight eight villains at once!". Ray went back as he said,"I didn't know about it eight villains! I thought it was just one.". "Where is he anyway? I can't reach him." said Tara. Karen was worried as Rachel said,"He may be still hiding from all of those villains.". Gwen looked at her phone as she said,"We need to find him now.".

Danny and Ray said,"Why?". "No one but one woman was injured during the attack. There was a low amount of property damage so good for that." said Gwen. "So whose the lucky woman?" said Tara as Karen got interested. "Natasha Alvarez." said Gwen. "We have to find him now!" said Rachel. "Lets keep calling him. Tell everyone we know about this. The more people, the better." said Danny as he then clenched his fists hard.

Back at Zane's house, he had crawled back into his room with him deactivating. "God. I"m so tired right now." said Zane. He stretched as his phone rang. "I'm not in the mood." said Zane as he silenced it. He threw his phone onto his bed as he walked out of his room. He went over to his mom's room as he heard silence. "I hope she wasn't too scary. I better get some sleep." said Zane. He flew back to his room as he crashed onto it with his clothes. "I wish those idiots would go back to jail." said Zane.

He fell asleep as his home phone went on its answering machine. "Hello. This's Natasha Alvarez and the rest of the Alvarez family consisting of Ana, Arturo, Atem, Edgar, Kania, Wolfram, and Zane. I'm sure one of us will call you back." said the machine. "Zane. It's Arturo. Everyone is looking for you and your mother is in the hospital. Please pick your phone." said Arturo. The machine had fifty plus message on it.

Back in the town, Tony was walking over to Ramona as he said,"So what's up with them now?". "I think they're eating." said Ramona. "Really?" said Tony. She handed him binoculars as he said,"They must be blind. I mean eating there of all places.". "I don't think that the point here Tony but I would have picked that French place on third." said Ramona. Inside of the restaurant, Occult was holding a glass as he said,"To the Battalion and Zero's end!".

Cyber said,"He can't be dead. We think he's too stubborn to die just like our beloved is.".  Titan then slammed the table as he said,"I was above along with firehead, nano chip girl, and sandy. The rest of you were searching for him and found jack! Next time, I'm smashing him.". "Revenge is so my past life. Now, I'm just after jewels and maybe that brat's head but money is more important." said Jester standing up.

Chimera said,"Legion Zero long gone so we can now bring all of this town to its knees and maybe even the world!". Chimera, Cyber, Jester, and Titan glared at each other as Cinder said,"Stop! We'll get everything our heart desires! All we have to do is listen to Emperor and we can have it okay amigos?". "Thanks Cinder. We all have a score to settle with Zero's escape pissing us all off. He's defeated us alone but I promise that Zero will die." said Emperor.

OM said,"How do you suggest we do that then?". "He's probably in that dimension where clowny is from." said Bedrock. "We get his attention. It's simple no?" said George. He looked at the waiter as he said,"So where do I pay?". "It's on the house sir!" said the waiter. He was long gone as George said,"I guess he knows our power doesn't he boys?". "And girls." said Cyber. "Whatever. Lets bring out the hero." said George.

Back at the Alvarez house, Zane was fast asleep with the TV saying,"The group calling themselves the Battalion has left the central district and seems to be heading toward the bank right nearby the city park.". Zane began to glow as a new form stood there. He has pale white skin with white ,shark like, teeth. Two of them sticking out of his mouth for fangs. He has bat like ears. His eyes are bright red. He's wearing a black and red jumpsuit. He has a chest plate like Frost Form. He looks 7 feet.

He's wearing black gloves. His suit is covered with red marking looking like veins and wearing a white mask that covers his face and head except for the mask. He opened up his bedroom's window and he flew off. He turned into a small black bat with two black ,with red interior, wings. He reached the bank ,in record time, as he was soon hit by Cyber. Zane turned back to the vampire form. "Our friend is here!" said Cyber. Zane was soon being held in place by Bedrock.

Bedrock said,"Look at him. He's a bat of some kind.". He threw him into the air as Jester fired an Orange Nether blast with Titan punched Zane right into a car. Occult Master fired a giant explosion from a magic hat cannon causing the car to exploded. Zane landed on a lightpost with him jumping off it to dodge George's spell aka a hammer. Zane landed on the ground with Chimera saying,"I guess you were right. He did show up.". The others were around Zane.

Zane was silent as George said,"Silent are we batty? Titan. You won the coin toss so you can inflict the first wound on him.". "Turning him into a pancake." said Titan. Titan was getting ready to attack but Zane stood there. "What's the matter scared?" said Jester. Titan rushed toward him as Zane opened his mouth releasing something. They were small dark blue ruby shaped objects with light blue eyes, little horns, and black bat like wings.

They landed on George and Titan as Zane only opened his right eye. Titan punched Bedrock as OM said,"What are you doing?! We're working together to stop....". George blasted OM with a magic spell as Cinder said,"Zero's doing it! Those cosas de murcielago are controling them! Let me take care of him.". He threw a fire stream at Zane who jumped into the air causing it to hit George with him landing onto a car. Zane flew into the nearby park as his enemies ran after him.

Outside of the bank, the police arrived as Tony said,"Everyone. Make sure the hostage are okay and no super powered punk stay behind.". Ramona stood by him as she said,"So while they're doing the not so fun stuff, we're having fun.". "Yep." said Tony. The two ran into the park as Cyber was about to attack Zane with several nano chips whips. The villains corned him on the bridge as he dodged the attack all with ease as he fired an energy beam at Bedrock.

OM tried to blast him but Zane flew under the bridge. Chimera jumped after him but Zane grabbed her and threw her to the ground. He soon flew up there grabbing George and flying back down with him using the man as a shield for Jester's Nether fists. George went back as Cinder threw a fire ball at Zane. The vampire growled as Cinder said,"Don't like the sun do you? Lets give you more!". He then starting throwing more of them as Zane dodged them left and right.

Zane fired two bats out of his mouth with them hitting Cinder and OM. He caused the two to blast each other with Zane getting punched by a rocky fist. Zane went under the bridge with Zane soon recovered glaring Bedrock. He taunted him as Bedrock said,"You're dead kid!". He rushed toward Zane with Zane's senses telling him that Cyber was coming in for a sneak attack. The two were soon about to him as Zane jumped up causing a crash.

Bedrock reformed as Titan grabbed the ground. Zane was on the other side as Titan threw it away from the group. Zane jumped off as he flew in a loop. He went up to them releasing a high pitch explosion on Titan causing him to stumble off the bridge thanks to the hole he made. Zane jumped back to avoid Cinder, Jester, and OM's attack with him keep on going. Zane rushed toward them with him crossing his arms. He slammed into the them as he opened his fangs.

Before he get a bite, he heard Titan. He turned around and he taunted the giant. "You're dead Legion Zero!" yelled Titan. He rushed toward Zane as he jumped over him. Zane landed behind the big guy as he kicked him in the back hard causing him to fly into the trees. Zane soon flew over to the big guy as he fired a explosive punch at the giant causing him to fly. The three from before accidentally hit Titan as he screamed out in pain.

Titan stood there as Cinder said,"Son of a!". "God dam it!" said OM. "He tricked us into hitting that oaf!" said Jester. "Round two!" said OM. The three fired their attack as Zane used him for makeshift cover. Jester and OM aimed their attacks at Zane with OM saying,"Okay hothead! Lets see how you do up close with that vampire freak.". Cinder nodded as he lifted himself into the air and toward Zane.

Ramona and Tony were nearby as they watch. Zane's CJ went off as he threw Titan at Cinder with him saying,"Stupid vampiro.". The giant landed on the hot head hard as the ground shook. Jester and OM fired attacks at Zane who just kept dodging. He landed on the ground as Bedrock, Cyber, and Chimera saw what happened to Titan. "Seriously?! He took out the big guy!". said Bedrock. George return as he said,"Help Cinder Bedrock.".

Bedrock rushed over to Cinder as he said,"Get him off!". The fire around him increased as Bedrock said,"Turn off the fire power and I can help you!". Cyber saw ,from the sky, that Zane was heading to the sewer grate as she said,"He's trying to escape again! We won't let that happen!". Zane held the grate as he slammed into Cyber with Zane landed on the ground. "Move before we blast you like we did with Titan!" said Jester.

Cyber flew off as Zane dodged his attack. Zane took off after Cyber with the two having an aerial race. "Leave us alone!" yelled Cyber. Zane kicked her into the ground hard as she was out cold from that. Zane began dodging Jester's attack with him behind the Phantom. Jester tried to blast him as OM said,"Calm down! He's trying to trick you like with Cyber!". Zane fired a bat out at Jester with the phantom standing there unable to move.

Bedrock rushed toward Zane with Zane making Jester blast Bedrock. Zane smiled as he fired out a pair of bats from his mouth. It landed on Bedrock and OM as he blasted Jester who blasted Bedrock and Bedrock aimed for OM. Zane flew above them and went crashing down causing an shockwave of energy knocking the three of them out. Zane was soon grabbed by George who said,"I knew that you were serious when you stopped talking. Just like your old man.".

George looked at Titan with him saying,"I think Titan would like his reward. Do you know how hard it is to win at eight person coin toss? Quite hard if you ask me but he did it.". "Get him off." said Cinder as the fire around him increased. "You need to calm down...." said Chimera. The hothead released a huge area of fire which got Chimera and George as Zane flew back. Cinder was out cold along with Chimera as Zane flew above George.

He went flying down with his feet aimed right at George sending him flying. Zane grabbed George and he threw him with his pals. "Well down kid." said Ramona. Zane looked to see the two and he pointed to them. "Yep. We'll take care of them. You get some rest. You're in school right? My son is a huge fan of yours." said Tony. "What kid isn't?" said Ramona. Zane flew off after he send Jester back to Terrarune.

The next morning, Zane ,back to normal, woke up as he said,"What the hell? Why do I feel like crap or something worse?". He tried to stand up but his body felt weak. "Zane. Don't you remember what happened?" said Cole. "Um no. I just went to bed for ten hours. It's a record for me to sleep more than five hours so what happened?" said Zane as his body felt like crap. "You were sleep fighting as Vampire Form, one of your best close combat fighters." said Athena.

He went over to his mom's room. "I kicked some but while asleep. That's so cool. I should do that more often." said Zane. "Yep. The problem is that you didn't make any jokes. You were dead asleep." said Cole. Zane placed his ear on the door as he heard nothing. "She must be asleep after what happened to her yesterday." said Zane. He headed downstairs with him opening the door and grabbed the mail.

Zane soon noticed the newspaper as he said,"They're still make newspapers? And I also kicked the Battalion's but? I think I'm liking sleep fighting and Vampire Form. This form kicks so much ass even when I'm asleep!". "Zane!" said a voice. He looked up to see Marcia and Travis as Zane said,"Nice PJs Marcia.". "Where have you been? Your mom is..." said Marcia. "She's asleep. Some super villains attacked her and your mom Marcia." said Zane as he closed the door.

Travis said,"You seriously don't know?". "Know what?" said Zane. Marcia grabbed his hand as she said,"Zane. Your mom had a heart attack while trying to escape from the Battalion and Legion Zero's fight. We've been looking for you. She'll be okay but she in the hospital.". Zane's face was stunned as Zane said,"No....". "Where have you been man?" said Travis. "I have to get going." said Zane. He ran off toward the garage as he said with tears,"Mommy. Please don't leave me like daddy.".

Next time,
Will Natasha recover? This and more next time on Zero! I would make up more but I got nothing at all!

Zero Episode 40 Superhero Development

A/N: Welcome to Episode 40 and originally, we would be 4/10 or 2/5 of the way. This is also the typical episode where Zane learns how to be a parent or as the Tv Trope, Egg Sitting. This is seen in Ultimate Spider Man the comic, The episode of South Park called Follow that Egg, Danny Phantom, Batman Beyond, and Detentionaire. The latter one is from one of my favorite cartoons. Lets begin. Also I won't be describing a form twice if I show them off in Zero Shorts. It's easier for me because I had repeating myself. It's also an relationship building

Narrator P.O.V.
On a video screen, Zane was currently chasing after Wraith while in Beast Form. "You're not escape me Wraith and diamond smuggling? Hunting business gone slow after I sent you to jail?" said Zane. He dodged several Black Nether shots as Zane roared. The Phantom went crashing into the ground and he then glared right at Zane. "Shut up! I'm Terrarune's greatest hunter and you won't..." said Wraith. He was then punched back into a lightpost by Zane.

Zane sighed as he said,"And here I thought he would be a threat.". He turned into Slime Form and he threw parts of his body at Wraith. They were destroyed by Wraith who said,"You're going to pay for this Legion Zero!". "Yeah what? You and what army?" said Zane. Wraith rushed toward him with him holding a knife. He sliced down on Zane who just reformed. "Dude. I can reform from a lot of things even Black Nether which isn't making me sleepy." said Zane.

He jumped back as he turned into Pyre Form. He threw a massive fireball at Wraith causing an minor but hot explosion. "Zero!" yelled Wraith. "Well, I guess he isn't done. Now how would I stop the second rate hunter?" said Zane. Wraith went rushing toward Zane and Zane smiled. He turned into Diamond Form and he froze Wraith in a giant diamond prison. Zane soon kicked Wraith back into Terrarune with him saying,"Yep. Second rate.". He waved to his fans as someone stopped the video.

He's a Phantom with him having wearing a gray suit that covers the upper body with a dark purple stripe in the middle and on his arms and wearing black pants. He's wearing black gloves and a gray belt with black boots and red soles. He's wearing animal bones over his body. His face is tiger orange color with a large lower jaw. His eyes are dark blue and sunken. "Isn't he an interesting prey eh girl?" said the Phantom.

As he said that, a large feline Phantom came up to her master with her looking interested. Her body is very a mixture of saber tooth cat and panther with large fangs, a large rhino like horn on the top of her nose, steel claws, a tail with a sharp hook at the end of it, a dire wolf mane, and a helmet around her head that had another two horns on it.  Her stomach is crimson red fur with her back being a black color.

She roared ,with it sounding like a lion and tiger, and the Phantom said,"Yes. We shouldn't go into this half cocked. Hydro Storm and the vampire learned that the hard way. Are you ready for the hunt? Today's the day.". She nodded as the Phantom said while looking at the static image of Zane,"Legion Zero. You're the next target of Terrarune's true hunter. Airon and his pet the Nether Seeker. I wish you the best of luck.".  

Meanwhile, Zane sneezed twice as Cole said,"What's wrong Zane? Did the cold fairy get you? I'll kill for that! She already took my pony from me!". "Okay then? You need to stop drinking sugar Cole. The hyperactivity level is bad I think someone is talking about me. This is seen in China, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam.  It was two sneezes in a row means that someone bad is going on. So what were we talking about?" said Zane.

He was currently flying toward school ,in costume and above the seeing eye, and Athena said,"We should ignore the stupid Zane. We have a serious problem aka your lack of using your new forms. It is getting bad.". "You have like a hundred? I mean the watch and us makes you a master of a new form upon using it! We're the two brains behind Legion Zero!" said Cole. "He's right you know Zane and that's rare coming from Cole." said Athena as she sighed. "Hey!" shouted Cole.

Zane said,"Okay. I'll start using them more. Athena, I swear that I wouldn't lie to you. So is there a certain form that you want me to try out?". Nearby the trio or from an outside perspective one guy flying, Airon and Nether Seeker was watching him. "I will be going after you soon enough Legion Zero. To capture a prey that has his mind on other things is simple as hunting down an animal who is too stupid to sense me coming." said Airon.

Airon pulled out a sniper with him aiming at the hero. "Pie. Enjoy your freedom while you can because your bounty is worth..." said Airon. Before he was about to fire, Zane was blasted by an energy beam with Zane crashing into a water tower. "Are you serious?! I had the perfect shot so who is the one?" said Airon. The Phantom disappeared as something rushed by him. Zane shook him as he said,"Okay. I take my showers normally so why blast me into a water tower?!".

He looked up to see Vicky ,as Agent Phoenix, standing there. "Son of Ra!" said Zane. "Way to mix up the swearing Z!" said Cole. Athena sighed as Vicky said,"Everyone may think you're a hero Zero but you're not. You're a menace just like the rest of your kind!". She aimed her very big cannon at him as he said,"Okay. I'm taking the bus from now on.". She fired the energy beam at Zane who dodge it. It hit the water tower causing it to shake.

Zane said,"And I keep telling you that not all Phantoms are bad people! Just a very small percent of them are!". The tower was about to fall on her but she evaded it and this caused the water to flood the streets. She glared right at Zane who said,"See you later girlfriend!". Zane soon rushed off as Vicky went right after him. Her board began firing at Zane with Airon saying,"They're both valuable prizes. I should go after her instead. She has been killing our kind for weeks now.".

She was blasted past him as Airon said,"Well, I did take a contract to kill Zane before he finds about his bounty.". Vicky went after Zane who charged up a Nether ball. "Time for you to get rid of that cannon so have a Nether Ball!" said Zane. He threw at her causing the cannon to be lost. "GRR! I'm going to kill you for that! Do you know how much those things cost?!" said Vicky. "Honestly, I don't give a dam. I don't want to hurt you and neither does my kind." said Zane.

Vicky said,"Hero Boy going soft on me? Do you honestly think you can defeat me?". "Well, I've been holding back on you so..." said Zane. She fired a sniper rifle ,which had ten plus barrels, at him with him evading it. "Fine! You forced my hand!" said Zane. He fired two giant Nether fists right at her causing her to fly past the invisible Airon. "Okay. I'll see if they're worthy by making them fight each other. I just have to kill him so time is on my side." said Airon.

Vicky recovered and glared as Zane charged up two Nether beams. The school bell ranged as the two looked down to see that they were above Cypress High. "Wow. That's some convenience." said Cole with a smile. "I'll let you go this time creep but next time, you're dead meat!" said Vicky. She was gone as Zane said,"Man. I'm so happy that I'm good for first period.". Zane flew off slowly with the hunter smiling.

He looked over to see that Vicky had deactivated her suit by the bleachers and she ran inside of the school. "So she's human and so young? I didn't think two of our greatest enemies would be so young. It's a small world after all." said Airon. The feline roared as Airon said,"We will face him soon my pet. I think it's time to learn more about this woman and Zane's relationship.". The cat went after her as Airon stood there watching over the school.

Later that day, Zane was talking with his A.I. as Athena said,"So far, no crimes have gone on all day making today slow.". "Which means pizza after school or class depending on how hungry you are Z man!" said Cole. "Thanks. Class is about to start so time for you to be quiet." said Zane. "Oh! I get it..." said Cole. He turned them off as Nancy Greer stood in front of her desk and she saw that Kevin was here today.

She said,"Today's question is. How many of you expect to be parents someday?". The entire class raised their hands as Zane was currently focused on something. He looked around and Roxy coughed loudly as Zane raising his hand. "Good answer. This week's assignment will show the sophomores what parenthood is like and it's a nurturing experience." said Nancy. She looked at a cart and she then wheeled it over to the desk.

It turned out to be realistic babies with Nancy picking one up. "Are those babies?" said Kevin. "You are correct. Before, we have used eggs and bags of flour. This has changed due to Derrick Price and his work in nanomachines." said Nancy. The baby coos with the class awed. "They're quite cute until you have to change them and take care of them for the whole week. You know the deal. If you don't want to fail Future Life, don't make the babies cry too much." said Nancy.

Nancy said,"Okay. Time for Pair Assignments. This has been randomly selected and one student from each class will be a single parent. They will also be a gay couple depending on if they're more boys than girls making two guys pair up or the other way around. First couple is Austin Lawrence and Kristin Ortiz.". She then handed a baby to the jock with it glowing. "Woah! Is it supposed to do that Ms. Philips?" said Austin.

Nancy said,"Yep. Upon touching either the mother or father, it automatically assign a gender and what your child will look if you're dating. Next couple is Marcia Hunter and Travis Romeo.". She began passing them around with her saying,"Della Dixon and Kevin Wallace.". Kevin held the baby as he said,"Hey honey bear.". "Kill me now." said Della. Zane snickered as Nancy stood in front of him. "I don't get why you're laughing Mr. Alvarez." said Nancy.

Zane said,"Inside joke. So who's my partner?". "Weren't you listening? I guess you weren't. Shame but welcome to being a single parent." said Nancy. Zane held the baby with it glowing. "Wow. Ain't that ironic? Mother like son I guess." thought Zane. Zane looked down to see that the baby had green hair ,that went to the middle of her back, and purple eyes. "Yep. She's my kid already." said Zane. "I love you daddy." said the baby.

She hugged him as the girls went aww. "Are they supposed to do that?" said Bryan. "Nope. This is a rare one. You may have it lucky Mr. Alvarez. You and your daughter will have fun." said Nancy. She went back to her desk as Zane whispered,"Your name is Ella and you're an Alvarez so be a loving girl or a punk rocker. I'll still love you.". The baby nestled deeper into his chest as Nancy said,"All of the babies have a built in computer which register the amount of care or lack of.".

Della said,"Meaning?". "If you're a bad mom and dad, you fail. They give off many emotions just like a baby would." said Nancy. Brad said while rocking the baby,"So what happened if we drop it?". "I'll show you." said Nancy. She grabbed a baby and she dropped it. The baby cracked into pieces as the teacher said,"You fail completely. You need to be gentle with them just like real babies so if they're cranky rock them.". Zane looked at his and he hoped that his wouldn't cry too much.

Later, several students were holding babies including Gwen and Rachel. "I can't believe we got stuck together." said Gwen. "Yeah but at least, we're a good couple unlike those guys." said Rachel. Two of the jocks threw a baby across the hall with Gwen saying,"At least, the baby isn't crying.". The two saw Danny and Zane each holding a baby. "So where's Mrs. Malone?" said Rachel. "She went to go hang out with the other moms. Aren't you going to ask about Mrs. Alvarez?" said Zane.

Danny said,"Dude. Everyone already knows about you and Ella.". "You gave her a name? And where have I heard it before?" said Gwen. "It's from Zane's favorite Soap Opera Love that Transcends Space and Time. She shares the same name as the head actress's character right?" said Rachel. "Yep. Ella Starshine may sound like a weird name but hey, my daughter is an Alvarez making her already weird." said Zane as Ella followed up with,"But being weird is cool according to daddy!".

She hugged him as Gwen said,"So are they supposed to talk?". "And be that close?" said Rachel. "I guess that mine's special but who cares? I've gotten so many hugs from girls because I make a good dad I guess." said Zane. "So where's Karen?" said Danny. The four were in front of Zane's locker as Gwen said,"Aren't we talking about what we're going to do for Kristen's birthday?". "Her birthday's coming up?" said Zane. "You forgot didn't you?" said Gwen.

Zane said,"It isn't my fault that an evil Cerberus Phantom destroyed my mailbox and a computer virus Phantom destroyed my email. I had to work in Brain Form like crazy to fix it.". Ella grabbed onto Zane as Danny said,"We've determined that instead of crying, she grabs onto him.". "Because Daddy makes me feel safe and he can defeat the monsters using his Phantom Punch!" said Ella as she punched the air.

Rachel said,"You know something. We should have a group playdate.". "Wait a second. You're liking this project?" said Zane. "I thought you said that marriage isn't your thing." said Danny. "And that you'll never get a date." said Gwen. "Thanks you guys. So who was Karen's partner?" said Rachel. "I think it was that one vegan." said Gwen. "Seriously? I feel bad for that baby and Karen. They will be missed at the playdate." said Zane. "She's coming to it Zane." said the three. "I knew that." said Zane.

Later at the Alvarez household, Zane was currently looking through a teen magazine with Ella being entertained by Wolfram as Ana saying,"What's wrong with this picture?". "Wolfram wanted to play with Ella and vise versa. I'm looking for a birthday present for Kristen. She'll kill me if I don't get her a gift." said Zane. "And by her killing him, he's talking about her papa. Her birthday is in a few days so right now, Zane's a stressed out daddy." said Cole.

Ana looked at her niece as Ella said,"Hi!". "Okay then. So where is mother, nephew, and grandfather brother? I'm sure that two of them would make Ella feel like a princess." said Ana. "Out shopping for her with Arturo and Atem being her pack mules." said Zane. "Daddy. What's a packmule?" said Ella with a confused look. "I'll tell you when you're older. So what does Kristin like?" said Zane. "Aren't you two friends?" said Athena with some noticeable anger in her voice.

Cole said,"I got it! She would like Dead Snakes! What girl wouldn't like that?!". "No girl in their right mind would like them plus me." said Zane. "Why is Daddy so confused?" said Ella. "Your father has to think like a girl." said Ana. Wolfram barked as Ana said,"You have a point there. Zane would have to become a girl to understand how to buy a gift for one.". Zane stood up as he said,"That's it! You're a genius Ana and Wolfram!". Ella said,"Daddy?".

Zane was gone as something appeared in his place. It looked like a muscular male adult with him being 6 feet tall. His body is black with several white star like dots that was scattered all over his body. His body looks to be an active galaxy. His body is emanating a turquoise color.  The top of his head has flame like hair with the color of it matching his body. He's wearing a reddish silver helmet ,with a y-shaped design, helmet with his hair sticking out of it.

His eyes are white and pupil-less. He's wearing reddish silver gladiator armor type appeared on his body. He wears brown pants. He's wearing fingerless forearm gauntlets/gloves, a chest plate that covers his chest, and knee length boots protected by greaves. "Astral Form! This form is perfect for the job at hand." said Zane with a deep mature male voice. Ella looked around as she said,"Where did Daddy go?".  "He went to the bathroom. I'll take care of you till then." said Ana.

Ella went into her auntie's arms as the two were gone. Wolfram  poked Zane's leg as Zane said,"I'm still here. Right now, I'm all Eazairvian except I'm the human variation.". "He's wondering why you turned into this form. I'm impressed that you picked this form." said Athena. "You made fun of me for not being able to understand how a woman works. This form can do anything so do you understand what I'm going to do." said Zane.

Wolfram shook his head for no with Zane saying,"Just watch.". Zane glowed as the puppy covered his eyes. The blinding light was gone as a new figure stood there. She's about 5 foot 6. It was a girl with a nice sized chest being a D cup. Her face is feminine with her looking like a younger Natasha Alvarez in terms of eye color. She had Zane's black hair though. Her hair goes down to the middle of her back with her bangs going straight across her forehead framing it well.

Her skin is rather fair with her being very beautiful. She's wearing a purple t-shirt with an gold owl in the center of the shirt, a white short jacket with long sleeves, black skinny jeans, and purple and pink tennis shoes. She has star and moon earrings, purple lipstick, and long eyelashes. She also had the Z.E.R.O. watch on her but in a bracelet. The dog was confused as the girl said,"Wolfram. It's me you master except well a girl.".

Her voice is both high pitch yet seductive. The puppy barked as the girl said,"You do know that if she finds out about this, we're dead. So are you up to being a secret agent?". He nodded as he went into a spy like pose. "Good job but you call me Zara in this form. This is the best way to find Kristen the perfect present." said Zara. "You could just learn how to read women." said Athena. "Nah! Zara here is just a idiot." said Cole.

Zara's right eye twitched with Athena saying,"Fine. Wolfram. Could you be a dear and get the door for your mistress or tell Ana about Zane going out shopping? Leaving your daughter with your sister Zara. What a terrible mom you're making.". Zara turned them both off as she said,"Do what they said and tell Ella that I love her more than anything.". Wolfram nodded as Zara said,"Okay. I really hate that I know more than I needed to do about boy bands now. So gross.".

Later, Zara was walking through the mall as she whispered to Wolfram who was intangible. "So you don't mind hiding? I wouldn't mind but the person who brought us together is here maybe so lets not take any chances." said Zara. Wolfram ,who was resting in her arms, nodded as he barked. "You're right. I have to think like a girl but right now, I can't stay focused." said Zara. She looked around as she saw the comic book store. "I wonder if the new issue of Masquerade is out." said Zara.

Wolfram rolled his eyes as Zara said,"I'll find her gift. No need to worry. I'll do it. If I get distracted again, please stop me.". The dog nodded as the two headed over to the store. Unknown to her, she was been watched by Brad and his male friends.  "Do you guys see what I'm seeing?" said Brad. "A girl who likes comics? That's a myth. She's probably getting them for her boyfriend. I can't believe that she made me keep this thing. Stupid project." said Mack as he was holding his child.

Bryan said,"She's also crazy. I mean she's talking to herself.". "So? She's hot. I'm single so I'm going to bring her to my ex's date. She'll think twice before dumping me." said Brad. Austin was currently talking of his and Kristen's kid as he said,"This plan has no flaws whatsoever.". "Thanks bro! Wish me luck." said Brad. He went after her as Bryan said,"I thought he would know sarcasm.". "I'm so serious Bryan." said Austin. "Savage." said Mack.

Zara was walking through the store as she said,"Now where are you new...?". She found a comic with a woman standing there as she said,"Yep. There's only one left.". She grabbed the magazine but she saw a boy's hand on it. He's wearing a black t-shirt over a long sleeved green shirt, brown jeans, and black and white sneakers. He had brown hair and brown eyes. "Sorry. My nail polish totally touched it first." said Zara. "Sorry but I need it for my collection." said the boy with a high pitch.

Zara said,"Okay. We shouldn't fight like children. How about rock, paper, and scissors?". "Sure thing sweet thing." said the boy. "Okay. Don't do that. I have someone." said Zara. "K." said the boy. The two played the game as the boy won. "Darn. Oh well, I'll just get the digital copy." said Zara. The boy took off his hat as Zara saw that it was a girl aka Kristen. Kristen noticed Zara looking at her as she said,"You didn't see anything right?".

She placed her hat on her head with her long hair sticking out. "Kristen Ortiz?" said Zara. "No. I'm not here because I like comics and I have a collection? Why are you in here?" said Kristen. "Um. I like comics and I'm comfortable with myself so..." said Zara. Kristen placed her hand over Zara's mouth as she said,"You can't let anyone know about this okay? My friends and this guy I like will think I'm weird. Let this be our secret please.".

She removed her mouth as Zara said,"Sure. I won't tell. I'm really good at keeping secrets.". "Yeah right!" said Cole, earning a punch from Athena. "It's a deal. So why are you here? I haven't seen around before?" said Kristen. The two were heading out after Kristen payed. "My name is Zara and I'm here in town for the week due to my grandfather's RV needing repairs." said Zara. "Zara? That sounds like Zane. Weird. How about we meet up at the salon? We should hang out!" said Kristen.

She was gone as Zara said to Wolfram,"Wow. I didn't expect her to like comics. I mean she tries to enjoy my movies. I guess I shouldn't judge a book by its cover.". She walked out and she saw Brad with his friends. "Um hi?" said Zara. Brad placed a hand on her shoulder as he said,"Sup. The name is Brad Stevens, the Quarterback. I think you and I need to start hanging out.". Zara removed his hand as she said,"Sorry. You're not my type.". She was gone as Brad said,"She'll be mine.".

Zara was currently walking to the salon as Athena said,"I can't believe that there is no crime today Zara dear.". "Yeah. I mean you haven't decided between two of the exact same dresses. You'll pick the one that goes better with your eyes." said Cole. "You need to pick something." said Athena. "If this is a joke, I'm not laughing. So I'm going to be talking with Kristen alone so watch something other than me." said Zara. "Okay." said the two.

The two were in the salon as Zara said,"Wow. This feels rather nice. All of my troubles and worries are melting away or exploding.". "Yeah and if you come here more than once, you get a discount for your next purchase." said Kristen. "And they're showing my favorite soap opera. All of my guy friends laugh when I watch this show." said Zara. "You're a fan of Love that Transcends Space and Time? Me too. I only know one other person who likes this show and she's a he." said Kristen.

Zara said,"He sounds like a real keeper. You two?". "Nope. He's still single and I'm not really looking for a relationship. I had a pretty nasty breakup with the last guy I was with. It turned into this whole big thing. Anyway, I wish I could bring a guy in here. I mean most guys think I like shopping and they're stuck carrying the bags." said Kristen. "Isn't that true? And what self-respected male would come in here and not be on their phones playing Fantasy Ball?" said Zara.

Kristen giggled as she said,"You're so funny Zara. If a straight guy came in here, I wouldn't have a problem liking comics.". She was reading her comic as Zara said,"You're right. Follow me!". The two were out of the store ,with Kristen wearing her normal outfit aka Episode 11, as Kristen said,"So what are we going?!". "To the only place in the mall where girls fear to go mainly because of the smell and they should fix that." said Zara.

At the arcade, several guys were playing video games. Bryan sniffed the air as he turned around to see Kristen and Zara. "Females!" said Bryan. Brad walked up to them as he said,"Sup ladies? Do you want to see this dead snake?". "No way!" said the two. The boys were gone as Zara said,"Cowards. I think we have the whole arcade so whose up for...". "You're so on Zara." said Kristen. The two went to a game as they wait in line.

Kristen said,"Hey Zara.". Zara was putting on her headset as she said,"Sup?". "Well, I wanted to ask you something. Why do you not care about what you're supposed to like? I mean you like playing video games and reading comics plus you look great with or without makeup." said Kristen. "Well, I think it comes from my mom. She was a great woman." said Zara. "I'm sorry." said Kristen. "It's fine Kristen. She's been dead for five plus years now." said Zara.

Zara said,"Anyway, she wasn't your typical woman. She loved reading comics, playing video games even beating my dad a couple of times, and taught me how to put on makeup plus the talk. Men and women may be very different but here's the thing. We're both human so why can't we like the same things?". "Okay. After this, I am taking you shopping." said Kristen. "I'm not carrying any bags." said Zara. Kristen put on her headset as she said,"Bring it out Zara.". "You too Kristen." said Zara.

Later, the two were in front of the mall. "Bye Kristen. It was really nice meeting a girl who could eat a lot of french fries." said Zara. "Yeah. It's from my mother. So guess what I wanted for my birthday Zara?" said Kristen. "A giant robot T-Rex?" said Zara. "No way Zara. You're a friend who I can talk about guy stuff. Sure I have friends that I can talk with but you're someone who I can really trust. If you were a guy, I would totally date you. Are you still in town for the week?" said Kristen.

Zara said,"Till Sunday.". "Good. I'll see you at my party! Bye!" said Kristen. She was gone as Zara turned back on her A.I. "So what's the plan Zara?" said Athena. "First thing, we have to find my dog before he devours the food court. Second, we have some gifts to buy. Third, we have to stop my mom from getting obsessed over Ella." said Zara. "Isn't changing back important?" said Cole. "Yeah. Lets do that do." said Zara as she went back into the mall.

Four days later, Zane ,now back to his normal gender, stood outside of Kristen's house which was packed. "Wow. I didn't expect it to be so crowded." said Zane. "And with so many babies. I guess this is a house warming party right?" said Cole. "So do you have her gifts ready?" said Athena. "And I got Ella so I'm good." said Zane. Ella was currently sitting on his shoulders as she said,"Faster Daddy!". "I'm going to miss you Ella." said Zane. He walked in.

He looked for Kristen as he saw Brad flirting with Sam. "He's so disgusting." said Zane. "And I hope you don't do that." said Athena. "I can't promise you on that but I'll try my best for..." said Zane. "Hey Zane!" said a voice. He turned to see Danny standing there with Zane saying,"Where's your bundle of joy?". "With her mom. She needed to get some credit. How are you doing Ella?" said Danny. "Daddy took me flying using Grandma's jetpack!" said Ella.

Danny said,"What kind of parent lets their kid go on a jetpack?". "The awesome kind and well, I got forced. I would normally say no but if was either that or playing bingo, I choose the smarter choice right?" said Zane. "You sure did. So where's your present? I thought you spend four days looking for it." said Danny. "I did but I want to show Kristen herself. So why is Brad here?" said Zane. "Yeah. I think he sneaked in along with everyone else." said Danny.

Zane said,"Well, you're lucky that I'm in a good mood today. You know how I'm at parties.". "Yeah. A major party pooper." said Danny. "So where is Karen? I haven't seen her all week." said Zane. "Did you forget that you were gone all week bro?" said Danny. "Yeah but I had Ella to keep me company while I was alone." said Zane. "Yep!" said Ella. Danny whispered,"So does she know about that side of you?". "Nope. The babies track my human self leaving Legion Zero free to play." whispered Zane.

Outside of the house, Airon was watching them with his cat. "Patience my pet. We'll get to play with Zane and Victoria soon enough but we need something to bring them out." said Airon. He held ,in his hand, a vial of red, blue, green, and white liquid as the cat roared. "It was risky stealing it from them but to capture/kill my prey, it's worth the cause. We should getting going right now." said Airon as the two of them were gone.  

Zane was sipping some punch as Cole said,"We got company and not the good kind.". Zane looked up from his spot in the backyard as he saw a giant Phantom Serpent far away from the house. Zane could tell that it was looking for him. "He's after me. We need to get him away from here." said Zane. He looked at the house with him saying,"Sorry for missing your 16th birthday Kristen. I hope you like my gifts.". He rushed out of there with him leaving Ella at his house and his gifts behind.

Remane stood on the top of his snake with him looking down at the destroyed city saying,"My pet. It is time to cause some destruction.". The snake fired a giant Blue Nether Beam but it didn't hit the ground whatsoever. Remane's eyes widened as he heard,"I won't let you hurt my town! This town is where my friends, family, and everyone that I care about! I'm already missing my friend's birthday right now so lets brawl!". The smoke cleared as Zane stood there in a new form.   

He shrunk down to about three feet. His body is dark green with the top of his head, his back, and the palms of his hands is a black color. He has a short tail alongside short and stubby arms and legs. His body is covered by several black spots on his body. His gold eyes look sharper and without pupils. He wears a metallic U.S. military helmet over his head. He's holding a weapon that looks like a fusion of a spear, spork, sword, and trident in one.

His helmet was exposing his teeth with them having visibly sharp canine teeth that look to help with eating. He had four sets of gill like markings on his stomach. He's wearing the same outfit that he would wear as Zero aka his costume. The lightning was about to hit being that Zane opened his mouth with seven longer than normal ,sticky, and strong tongues coming out of them. "What is that form? Destroy it!" said Remane.

The snake fired another beam being that Zane's mouth soon opened up. It revealed seven longer than normal ,sticky, and strong tongues. Zane had them wrapped around the beam and go back into his mouth. Zane's stomach grew in size as he turned into a ball with short arms,legs, and tail. It looked rather funny. "Okay. I didn't expect that at all but Gluttony Form is full of surprises." said Zane while rolling back and forth.

He stood up as Remane said,"So you can eat things? Bid deal. I can do that naturally kid so lets play some golf!". The Phantom animal's tail was heading toward Zane but then Zane burped. He released a giant green energy beam from his mouth knocking Remane off the snake and the snake went flying back a couple of feet. After doing this, Zane's body went back to normal with Remane glaring at Zane who closed his mouth.

Zane looked at Remane and said,"Okay. To be honest with you Remane, I didn't expect that big of an impact with it. First time using this form. I made a real impact right Remane?". He soon dodged an Pink Nether blast as Zane said,"Too much? At least snakey is coming back.". Before the snake hit him, Zane soon jumped backwards as he slammed his weapon into the ground and sending rubble everywhere. "I hope this works." said Zane as his mouth opened.

Several pieces of rubble was grabbed by the seven tongues and while they were doing this, Zane was moving himself toward his weapon. "Get him before he does something disgusting!" said Remane as the snake rushed toward Zane. "Hey Snakey! I think you'll like this attack better than my last one. Bang Burst!" said Zane. He devoured the rubble with him chewing down on it. He fired an energy bomb at the weapon, causing a giant explosion.

The snake roared with him coming crashing down. "Not on me!" said Remane. The snake crushed Remane with Zane standing there. He grabbed his weapon as Zane said,"Wow. He got crushed by his own snake. You know what I just noticed. It's a mixture of several snakes.". He made a portal which gathered Remane and his snake sending them back. He was about to leave but several girls ran up to him hugging him. "Great." said Zane.

Later that night, Zane was nursing his cheeks on the couch. "Are you hurt Daddy?" said Atem. "Your father was really cute." said Ana. She handed him an ice bag as Zane said,"I really miss when they thought that I was a menace. Old women hurt.". "So sad." said Kania. Wolfram nodded as Zane said while looking around,"So where's your little sis?". "With grandma." said Atem. "I'm impressive that Ella is still alive even after all of her experiments." said Ana.

Ana shivered as she said,"She's scary when she's in that lab.". "One year for Halloween, she was a mad scientist." said Zane. "That fits her too well Zane." said Kania. Zane heard the doorbell as he said,"I'll get it.". He answered it as he said,"Listen. We don't take girl scout cookies here. It's just that we....". Kristen stood there and she said,"I'm little bit too old to be selling girl scout cookies Zaney. I have to ask how are you dealing with the pinching?".

Zane rubbed them as he said,"Fine. My cheeks are recovering. Shouldn't you be at your party? I mean you only turn sixteen once.". "Didn't you skip your birthday?" said Kristen. "I was training on how to use my powers. So answer my question." said Zane. "It was your gifts." said Kristen. She then held a bouquet of flowers, diamond earrings and necklace, and an envelope. "Oh right my gifts. I did totally forgot about getting them." said Zane.

Kristen said,"Zane. This isn't something that you would buy for a friend. Danny got me a t-shirt and I could tell that it was Hannah helping him.". "You're my student Kris, I had some money to spare for a friend, and I will sick Liger Form on our crowd." said Zane. The group ,that was watching him, was gone as Zane said,"Okay. I was shopping for your present or in my case presents on Monday when I bumped into a girl named Zara. She has the almost exact same name as me.".

Kristen was silent as Zane said,"She told me about you since you described me to her. She told me that she has identity issues.". "I don't have..." said Kristen. Zane looked at her as Kristen said,"I can't be like Zara.". "That isn't the point at all Kris. I got you those gifts because well, I really care about you. This has been since freshman year." said Zane. "You didn't even know me back then Zane." said Kristen. "You're wrong. I known you even before I became the president." said Zane.

Zane said,"You and I had never met before then. Sure, I saw you in the halls back in Elementary and Middle school but High school is where I began to notice to you. I'm dense but I really care about you in the exact same way that I would care about my family. You and Brad were just awful together. To be honest with you, I was trying to break you guys up just like Hannah said. I don't regret it because I got to know the real Kristen Ortiz. She's smart, beautiful, and I heard she's pretty good at gaming.".

Kristen was silent as Zane said,"I know that you may not want to be a relationship with any guy after what happened with Brad. I'm an Eazairvian. We fall in love fast but here's the thing. I love you.". He kissed her as Natasha's voice said,"My little boy's becoming a man!". "Go dad!" said Atem. "Daddy is the best!" said Ella. "Didn't know you had it in you. Good job Zane I mean Master." said Kania as Wolfram cried a bit. Arturo nodded.

Zane backed off as he said,"So care to go see a movie?". "Um sure. Is it too late?" said Kristen with her face still red. "For normal people, yes but we're not normal are we Kristen Ortiz?" said Zane as he grabbed her hand. He held it tight as he said,"Care to go there in style?". She nodded as the two flew off with Kristen saying,"So are we?". "If you want to be, I've been itching for a relationship with you and also love is an open book." said Zane.

It was Monday and in Future Life Class, Nancy was standing in front of the class as all of the babies were back in their tray. "After a week, I bet all of you are feeling the joys of parenthood." said Nancy with a couple of kids groaning. Zane said,"It wasn't that bad you guys.". "Your dam baby didn't cry all night Alvarez so shut up." said Brad. "Well, the report shows that you are did quite well being that you all got Bs." said Nancy.

Kevin said,"But Ms. Philips.". "A B isn't a bad thing normally Kevin but well, you have to be an A+ parent. You can feed, rocking and care, and nap time for a baby. It needed something call stimulation so that the mind can grow. According to this data, two groups ,in this class, were the only ones had their babies well stimulated. The pair of Austin Lawrence and Kristen Ortiz and Single Daddy Zane Alvarez." said Nancy.

Nancy said,"Well done you three. You gave your babies a fun time and I can see you being a great parent one day especially you Mr. Alvarez. Your daughter saw many new faces during your week. I hope Kristen enjoys having such a promising future father as her boyfriend.". Zane sulked in his seat as Danny smirked. "Yep. He's enjoying this and I'm happy for him. Karen is devastated. It's time for the making Karen feel better plan." said Danny to himself.

Next time,
Zane gets a present for his friends and his enemies. Karen slowly gets over Zane due to him being with Kristen. What is Airon planning? This and more next time on Zero.
