This takes place after the Batter purifies the zones except for The Room. Sugar, and Valerie are both dead in this and the three gaurdians are in their respective places and respective personalities after the purification.
The main focus is on Zacherie, The Judge/Pablo although during some chapters other characters will be the highlight. _
Zone 0
"It's for the better.." Zacherie shifts on the balls of his feet in front of the Batter and after a slight pause shows him the usual assortment of items he has for sell. Exchanging credits with the gruff man in front of him for a few minutes before he watched him leave to who knows where. He sighed and frowned under the mask he wore.
"Yeah... For the better." He murmured sadly and couldn't help but look to the floor, just trying to distract himself from the inevitable sadness that would all too soon plauge his mind. He started walking; knowing his services would no longer be needed, he headed towards the basement, towards Sugar.
Wincing at the smell of blood and sugar mixing in the air and going down the stairs, only stumbling a bit by the time he got near the bottom of stairs due to the scent only getting stronger. he felt tears well up in his eyes as he got closer, only stopping at the doorway as he zoned out. Thoughts. So many thoughts and visions swirling through his head. Almost all of them being about his life before being dragged into this game and the adventure he had been thrust into. All of this paused however when he thought of Sugar.
At this thought he went through the doorway and nearly sobbed outright at the sight. His best and one of the only friends he had next to Pablo, broken bones, bruises, and cuts adorning his friends bloody and practically beaten in body. Some small bits of blood on the wall and on a few lone piles of sugar in the room.
With great hesitance he walked towards her body and suddenly fell to his knees, mind blurring out all thoughts of rationality as he scooped up her mutilated corpse into his arms and held it closely, crying under his mask. "G-Good bye sweet Sugar".
His voice was hoarse as he spoke that one sentence before his mind brought something up. Something that made his body quiver out of sadness and anger. 'How dare I let this happen'... 'I have all the weapons and equipment I need in my shop so why couldn't I protect her. Why did I let this happen..' He thought to himself, a soft choked sob actually escaping him before he silenced himself and went back to weeping over his best friends corpse.
