Keys: Go to 2nd chapter.
Zenith stared at Sferos, who was darting his eyes at him and the gems. The gems prepared their first move by stepping forward a bit. Sferos noticed it and turned around, little did he know, Zenith is a sly warrior. Because as soon as Sferos had turned around, Zenith was already up in the air, ready to strike down. But his slyness mattered not in this battle as Sferos was just as quick as him and he held his blade with his newly grown wrist blades. He shoved Zenith away and jumped up to evade the gems.
Zenith struck again and his blade hit the beast's shoulders but it did not pierce it as easy as it did on the others, Sferos kicked Zenith and landed. He crouched down and another pair of arms grew from his torso.
The gems, especially Pearl, flinched from the sight and watched as he raised back up, with his height visibly increased. He spread his arms wide as if he was taunting them. Amethyst was annoyed and proceeded to attack him, Garnet and Pearl followed.
The two factions clashed with Garnet trying to punch the blood beast's open spot but instead having her hand swatted off and Pearl trying slice him from his head but was again backhanded away, followed by Amethyst, who tried to attack him with the boulder again but this time, he destroyed it.
He yanked the whip's tail and was about to punch Amethyst when she's within range, but it never happened. Zenith landed on his head with a flying kick. The beast looked at him and tried to move but Zenith's patience was running out as he prevent it by giving him a flurry of kicks.
"AAARGH!"
"Whoa, how?" Amethyst asked, impressed at his speed, his leg was now covered in flames as well as electrics.
"I really hope he could do it." Pearl said.
Zenith continued his kicks and delivered the last ones with multiple spins and backed away from the horribly disfigured beast. He continued glaring at it until he puts his hands together in a vertical. Not long after, blue coloured energy particles gathered in it. He puts his hands around his waist and pushed forward as if he was punching and a darker blue coloured energy ball is unleashed from his fist.
Sferos erected a circular red shield that barely managed to hold the blast's force. After the shield was smashed, Zenith was already close to him and kicked Sferos' stomach, causing him to cough up blood. He quickly get his footing back and throws a hook punch onto his chest. He then jumped up to throw another punch but noticed that Sferos smirked. Moments before his fist reached his head, the blood he coughed up suddenly rose up like a stream, knocking Zenith upwards.
The gems gasped as Zenith was thrown away, they looked back at Sferos who was now pointing his hand towards them, they barely managed to move when a circular blast hits them, throwing them away. And at the same time after they were knocked away, Zenith fell hard near them.
He only got up to his knee when Sferos started moving towards them. He cursed Sferos as the beast walked towards them, his smile becoming more malicious with each step. The beast raised his hand and his head to show his dominance and triumph.
"How do you like that?" He taunted.
"You're just a deus ex machine." Zenith spat.
"Don't be so jealous, I know I am the ultimate-"His words were abruptly ended when a pink light stream blasted him, sending him flying away.
Zenith looked back and saw a pink cannon with a flowery design on the end, behind the cannon was the familiar ringlet pink-haired gem.
"Rose." Garnet spoke up while Zenith smiled in amazement.
She struggled to stand up and the gems were about to help until Zenith sped up and helped her first.
"I'll take back what I thought about you, your abilities are better than your looks. Guess you can't judge someone without knowing about them first." Zenith said.
"I'm much more surprised by you, one moment you were a bad guy the next? What happened?" She chuckled after jokingly asking him.
"I'm just a man of a bad past. Don't worry about it."
"You think you have won?!" Sferos shouted from a distance, getting their attention.
"Maybe, maybe yes?" Zenith said dumbly.
"Guess again!" The beast smiled.
"Huh?"
Not long after, green beams were blasted towards them, only a few hit them, and few were killed, while most of the blast was taken by Zenith who risked his life to protect the gems and the townspeople who were exposed from their hiding spots.
Sferos then retreated into the ship that attacked them and the town. Zenith, who was kneeling in pain, stood up and shouted unintelligible things and a few profanities. He then charged up an energy ball and shot it, only for it to disappear in mid-air. He knelt back down in disappointment.
"I'll swear to the universe and god, I'll destroy them." He said.
Rose then tried to calm him down, which he complied when she told him to. The townspeople were scared of him when he walked past them. He was, is, still angry at Sferos for the death of some of the townspeople, although it was not much, he still mentally swore the same thing over and over again.
Facts/Trivias: Not long enough yet, not too short.
