Author's Note: Chapter takes place after chapter 2 just in case, but I'm pretty sure you already knew that so this is actually useless. Well, nonetheless, enjoy.
A few minutes of walking later…
When Zero and Ciel finally made it back to the city through the west gate, they took off their hoods so as not to draw unwanted attention to themselves and they started walking down the street. When they got to the intersection, something caught their eye. They saw a lot of lights behind some buildings and they didn't know what was making them. Ciel then saw someone that was coming from that direction and ran to him to ask what those lights were.
"Excuse me, sir" she said
"May I help you, miss?" the man asked with a smile
"Do you know what's making those lights?" she asked as she pointed toward the lights
"Why, those lights are coming from the newly reopened amusement park" he said to her
"Amusement park?" she said in a confused state as she never heard of it
"What's an amusement park?"
"Well, an amusement park is where people go to have fun" he said
"There are games, attractions and It's also were a lot of couples go on date's"
"It sounds like a fun place to go to" she said
"Oh, it is; especially if you go with someone" he said
"Oh, Zero can we go there, I want to see it" she said as she turned around to ask
"But, don't we have to find someplace to stay the night, besides we don't have any money" he said as he reached into his pockets and turned them inside out.
"If you need money, than here you go" said the man as he reached in to his pockets and took out two hundred e-crystals.
Ciel was reluctant at first since it wasn't their money and they barely knew the man
"Come on now, don't be shy" he said
"A-Are you sure?" she asked
"I'm sure and also I…" he stopped mid-sentence like if he was going to say something that he shouldn't and then he continued
"I really want the two of you to have a great time like everybody else since It looks like you've never been to the amusement park" he said as he gave the e-crystals to Zero
"Thanks and what's your name?" Zero asked
"My name is Fleuve" he said
"Well then, see ya later Fleuve" Zero said as he and Ciel waved goodbye and started heading to the amusement park.
They followed the lights to get to the amusement park and they had to go through a big cave which was the only way to get to the amusement park from the city. On the way, Zero gave half of the e-crystals to Ciel. They had to take the subway that ran from the city to the park like everybody else since no one wanted to face the mavericks in the forest. On the way to the park via the subway, Zero was constantly getting his hair pulled on by a little kid, to which he tried to suck up and not do anything about it, until the kid ripped out a few strands of hair in which Ciel giggled a little and Zero put his hair inside the coat not wanting the kid to rip out more of his hair. When they got to the amusement park, they got off the subway, climbed the stairs to go up above and walked towards the entrance (A/N: just in case the subway entrance is in the south section of the park). When they entered, Ciel was amazed of how big and lively it was, while Zero still had his calm look but even he raised his eyebrows in amazement of just how many people there was.
"What should we do first?" she said as she tried to keep in her excitement but was failing at it
"Well it was your idea to come here so you should decide" he said
"Then let's try that one" she said as she pointed at the rollercoaster
When they got to the entrance to the ride the line wasn't that long but it was short either and after a few minutes of waiting it was finally there turn to ride on it. Throughout the whole ride Ciel was the one raising her arms and screaming out of the fun while Zero had his arms crossed and still had his calm face.
"That was fun" she said as they left the rollercoaster attraction.
After the rollercoaster, Ciel wanted to try some of the games in the amusement park.
"Hey, Zero, let's check that one" she said as she grabbed him by the hand and ran to the game
"Excuse me, sir" she said to the man in charge of the game
"Yes, little lady?" he asked when he turned to see who called him
"How do you play this game?" she asked as she only saw the stacks of bottles and the prizes in the wall.
"Rules are easy" he said
"All you need to do is knock down those bottles with these balls" he then showed the 3 balls that you need to play
"If you knock down one of those stacks you can win one of the smaller prizes"
"Knock down two for the medium ones and all three of 'em for the bigger prizes"
"How much is it to play this game?" she asked
"25 e-crystals" he said
Ciel then took from her pocket 25 e-crystals and gave them to the man and he put the 3 balls on the table. Ciel then picked the first one and threw, which knocked down the first stack.
"Got one" she thought as she was filled with confidence to make sure to hit the other two stacks
She picked the second ball and threw it and knocked down the second stack of bottles
"Only one more" she thought as she picked up the last ball
She threw the last ball so hard that it knocked down the bottles and went right through the tent, falling on the other side
"Yay!" she said as she screamed up and down out of joy
"Wow, little lady" he said amazed at what Ciel just did
"You got quite an arm on you"
She giggled out of the complement and his surprise of her throwing the ball through the tent.
"Well then, which prize do you want?" he asked as he started stacking up the bottles again and put away the two balls that where still there.
While Ciel was thinking of which prize she wanted, Zero went behind the tent to get the ball that Ciel threw, back. When he got back, the man was already getting Ciel's prize if the wall.
"Here you go" he said as he gave the doll to her
"You picked the mettaur?" said Zero while he looked at the doll (A/N: The mettaur is the one from the BN series)
"Yup" she replied "I just think there pretty adorable" she said as she hugged her doll
"She thinks those things are adorable?" he thought as he looked at the doll "Those things tried to kill me!" he thought again but he let the thought go and looked at the man
"Here" Zero said as he threw the ball to him
"Oh, thanks" he catched the ball and put it away with the rest
Zero and Ciel then left the game and walked for awhile through the park until something caught Ciel's eye, to which she ran to, leaving Zero behind as he didn't run after her, and started reading the sign that was next to it.
"Wishing well" she said
"Throw an e-crystal and make a wish" she then took out an e-crystal, made a wish and threw it inside.
Zero was staring at the stars when Ciel looked back at him. Ciel was walking back to him when, without any warning, the area where they where was bombed. Zero and Ciel were knocked unconscious because of the sudden explosion and there coats were blown away; the doll was also sent flying and their clothes got ragged and slightly shredded. A few minutes passed before Zero regained consciousness. He was on the floor and he raised his head to see what was going on. He saw some fire that was cause by the explosion and innocent people on the other side getting slaughtered by the mavericks.
"Another outbreak here?" he tried to get up but fell down again "I have to get Ciel out of here" he then tried to see if he could see her
He saw her as she was waking up. Zero, weakened by the explosion, started crawling to her. She tried to get up but she was also hurt and she soon fell down again. Ciel was now too weak to move as one of the explosions was closer to her. When Zero was still a few feet away, a galleon with a blade attached to its arm appeared out of the fire and saw Ciel who was breathing heavily. It then walked towards her and Zero, who was still a few feet away, had his eyes widened and mouth slightly opened at what the galleon did. It had stabbed Ciel through her stomach, lifted her up with its blade and then threw her outside the fire. Zero didn't move at all as he couldn't believe what just happened. The galleon then saw Zero and walked towards him sharpening his blade on the floor as he got closer. The galleon was right in front of him and then it tried to stab him but Zero out of anger rolled out of the way, grabbed its leg and ripped it out which caused the galleon to fall to the floor. Zero then ripped out its blade arm and used the blade to lift himself up. When he was standing he used the blade to cut the maverick in half. After Zero cut the galleon in half another one appeared and this one was running towards him while it tried to slice him apart. Zero was using the blade of the galleon he just defeated as a shield since he couldn't fight back against the speedy galleon in his weakened condition. Zero then threw the blade hoping it would defeat it but the galleon quickly deflected it.
"Dammit, that didn't work and now I'm defenseless" thought Zero as he walked back and also tried to avoid the galleons slices.
Zero tripped on a rock and he fell on his back. Zero was too weak and tired to keep fighting back and the galleon proceeded to kill him.
"I can't die here, not now" thought Zero as the galleon lifted his blade upwards to slice him.
The galleon stopped when the blade was already an inch away from cutting Zero in half.
"What the…?"
The galleon then split in two and behind it there was someone holding a glowing blue sword and had reddish armor. Zero tried to get a better look at the person who saved him but he was too weak and passed out. When Zero woke up, he was being supported by someone. Zero moved his slightly opened eyes to see who it was and noticed it was the person who helped him. The person then noticed that Zero was looking at him.
"Don't worry, boss, were almost out of here." Said the person
"Boss?" thought Zero
Zero then raised his head up to see where they were going and saw that they were leaving the park. Zero, now fully awake, started looking around and he didn't see Ciel.
"Let me go…" Zero said in a weakened tone of voice "I have to go back"
"Are you crazy, boss?" said the person
"I said let me go" said Zero as he pushed him
"What was that for?" asked the person
Zero didn't answer back; instead he tried to walk back to the park but was stopped by that person
"Get out of my way" said Zero
"No can do, boss" said the person "You're in no condition to be fighting let alone walking"
"I'm fine" said Zero "Besides; I don't even know who you are"
"What are you talking about?" he asked "It's me, Vent"
Zero passed by him without paying attention but fell on his knees soon after.
"Dammit" he said
"I told you, you're in no condition to be walking" said Vent as he to grab him to get him out of there
"Leave me alone" said Zero as he tried to get up "I'm going back in there"
"I'm not gonna let you go back in there for a stupid reason that can get you killed" said Vent
Zero felt a little anger at him, but he soon calmed down.
"I'm going back no matter what you do" said Zero
"Why do you want to go back in there anyway?" asked Vent
Zero didn't answer Vent's question immediatly. Instead, he grabbed his necklace and stood up.
"Someone with a dream for peace" said Zero as the necklace started to glow "Someone very dear to me" energy formed around Zero in the form of data and his hair flew upwards (A/N: If you remember Vent and Aile's transformation to ZX, I'm talking about the streams that surrounded them as they transformed) "I will not let her die. I will protect her" armor started to form around Zero's head, arms, legs and waist. "WITH MY LIFE!" he shouted and became enveloped in a blinding light.
Vent was shocked at what was happening. When the light disappeared, Vent was speechless at what he was seeing. The man he thought was Giro had transformed. He had a glowing green sword, a helmet that resembled Vent's helmet but in a different way. He also had armor on his arms and legs and white armor that covered his hip. The necklace that he had turned silver but Vent was too shocked to notice it.
"Who… are you?" asked a shocked Vent
Zero didn't answer and instead ran back inside the park to save his wounded friend from death's doorstep.
