In the beginning, there was said to be a being named Zero. Zero was told (by those who listened before) in legends-past down from generation to generation, of an immortal. A creature that was told to be the sharpest (the most ferocious), the wisest (the oldest), the creator (a deity among us) of their world. A being cloaked with vails (never revealing, never showing), inhuman eyes (always watching, never flickering), unnerving enemies that dare stand in its way and protecting those that are in need. Always changing (never stopping). This being was said to be the first to give (to take), the first to learn (to know), to grasp (to comprehend), to fear (of being alone), to create (beings with their individual fates and dreams), to feel (the pain of loneliness).

And that loneliness (the punishment of being the first) gave Zero the reason to create (to create beings that could give it joy and a reason to live). The first cell (the first existence Zero gave) was one of a miracle. A miracle that grew with each cell (miracles all of them) created by Zero. These miracles grew, becoming other beings, that gave Zero joy (finally not alone anymore). Giving its new creations a place to home (to prosper and live), the being made many more homes (peaceful places), making everything (stars, gas, heat, fire, water, food, universes, galaxies).

The new ones it called them, made from its' hands brought a feeling (an emotion other than pain and loneliness) to the being. It felt wonder and joy knowing it created life (and what a joy that was knowing that there were others now), knowing that it will be never alone anymore (the pain no more), and knowing that it, Zero, can guide them to a path of wonder and joy just like it felt.

With new ones being made at a rapid pace he decided to give all of them (their own individual species) a name. And this name became a stepping stone for the way of life, for every eon past, the beings grew (with each generation of learning and guidance from Zero).

Yet not everything can stay in motion, and the being was feeling pain once again (no, please, not again). His creations (miracles he called them), begun to sway. The once innocent (naive) beings starting to have evil (miserable to all) thoughts. Each creation (each miracle created), each having evil thoughts. The being can only watch (with a sorrowful gaze) towards his creations (miracles no more).

Somewhere (where, where, where) the once innocent (now no more) beings stopped going on the path Zero put them on. Swaying from their belief (that all can be good). This broken the powerful being's heart, sending itself away from its (once) beloved creations. And in turn, the beings closed off from each other, forgetting Zero (their creator) and the other beings entirely. Zero (once worshipped as a god among them) became a legend while their brethren from other planets got forgotten completely as civil war raged from in them and the planets restarted into what they are now today. With their own unique ways and abilities.

As Zero watched the worlds build themselves up again, it got an idea. The being saw individuals (broken and kind) from their own experiences in life. The mortals (descendants from his once miracles) showed something Zero hasn't seen in a long time. Some were selfless, naive, and (brutally) honest. While others were selfish (and didn't mind showing it), sarcastic, with trust issues (but they didn't show it). But there was something they all shared, they were kind. From deep within their heart (showing everywhere in their soul) they were kind. So kind to save and give up their lives for others, even if they were enemies. They didn't swallow themselves with despair from their broken childhoods. They stood (with all the willpower they had left) and showed their worlds that they were not broken (they still had hope, however small it may be), that they were powerful (they won't ever get beaten down again), and that they would save others (so they won't have to feel their pain).

So Zero started its' plan. Giving the chosen mortals a deal (a contract, a promise) at a young age. Zero would tell them about its' plan to protect the galaxies and every being in it. The being would show them their plans and give them absolute trust and love. And in return, the chosen would give their complete honesty and vow to Zero while being cursed with immortality (to forever be by Zero's side). If they accept (to be Zero's new miracles), they would dawn Zero's soul in a form of a brand. If they don't accept or abide by Zero's contract wishes, they would forget about the contract and Zero in general. When they die or be done with their goal, they would be revived to be Zero's guardians. But they would have to stay true to themselves and never tell a soul about their deal.

This prompted new legends to form (to show to all). The ones saved from the guardian's tell all their stories (their findings), about beings with special number tattoos on their skin. About those beings who were powerful (too powerful) being commanded by a figure cloaked in vails (a godly person). How they can destroy full meteors (like it was nothing) and how they can save lives in a blink of an eye.

This is the legend of Zero- a being crowned (with influence and glory), guarded by those who the being ( an anomaly with no gender) considered worthy. The worthy (powerful and feared), cursed with life (immortality) after death, forever protects Zero (their master, their boss, their lives) with all they have to give.

In return, it (Zero) gives them (its' beloved numbers, its' family)- protection and compassion. Forever marked with the soul (the imprint) of their savior, in the form of a tattoo (a permanent marking, a promise) that they will meet again after death.

Yo, this is my first fanfiction and I couldn't decide what anime/crossover to do so I was like well why not do all of them (that I know). Anyways, this is something I thought up and was like, well why don't we try, and *bam* this happened. I will change some main character's childhoods so it would fit in the story (don't worry they will be reasonable).

In the future, I may go into details in violence scenes (hence the M rating just to be safe)

I don't own anything except Zero and the plot. By the way heads up, in the future a male character might be female, depending on how I feel about it later. I will give you a big hint on who it will be, their designated number will be 9 (and probably be my third chapter).

Also, the number given to them has nothing to do with their strength or placement, the number assigned to them is special and it is supposed to represent something important. (like when they were born, a code, a dear friend, etc.)

Because I am a young teenager (mentally and physically) my grammar/writing might change in the future! (like some chapters would be povs and some would be a story being told from someone too young children). This also affects my updating schedule, due to the fact I have school, I have OCD on how I write on somethings, and *ahem* procrastinate a lot. So I will try to update whenever I can and make them at least 1,ooo words chapters (because I hate short ones).

I have a very imaginative mind that would wander so a heads up! I love comments and I will take criticism and try to fix the mistakes in the future! And please don't be mean just for the heck of it and leave comments just saying to update!

Ex. Please Update! (yeah please no!)

Also, please recommend anime for me to watch in the future to get more ideas for future chapters. And because this is the Legends of the numbers, I am already planning on writing sister stories to this in the future that shows the numbers and their troubles trying to keep the whole thing secret to everyone else (in a one-shot or two-shot drabble way) and how the numbers act when they are at their base (A fluff/family/hurt and comfort kind of thing).
