I am soooooooo sorry about the long wait, I've been busy lately with school work, and this weekend has been harsh, but I worked when I could to make this chapter perfect. It's what you've been asking for, so enjoy :)

Xero looked down at the hall and saw a feminine silhouette. "Zero, are you there?"

"Yea I'm here, but i'm still on the 4th floor" he said. "Are you already on the 9th!?" he asked concerned.

Xero took another look down the hall. "I can see one of them right now" she whispered.

"Xero.. please wait for me...please" he pleaded.

Xero looked down the hall. "Alright" she said reluctantly as she kept her eyes on the silhouette as though it could disappear.

Zero looked up at the stairs and took a deep sigh as he started sprinting up them, failing to see the figure hidden within the shadows.

Zack watched as Zero sprinted up the stairs and for a moment considered attacking his enemy, but thought wiser of that. 'I still have a job to do' Zack thought as he continued his descent.

(A)

Zack watched as the mayor and an unknown woman in a long black dress were directing as much people as they could to the exits. "This way!" and "Don't panic!" was all he could hear them say. "Pathetic" he said as he switch the knobs on the Morph belt, turning from Zero to a police officer. He quickly has his way to the mayor. "Mayor Warheart, we need to get you out of the building."

"Not until everyone else is out" he objected.

"Sir, we have no time for this, I'll have men here if a few minutes, but first we need to get you out of here."

The mayor looked at him for a moment, unsure of his choice.

"Your safety is of high priority" Zack continued.

The mayor reluctantly shook his head as he accepted the situation. "Let's go then."

Before the mayor could take a step forward Zack stopped him. "There's a back door that's not as crowded" he said as he lead the way towards the back of the museum.

The mayor looked around surprised to see the back doors of the museum empty of people but thought nothing of it. "This isn't what I wanted at all" he said sadly. "But at least everyone is safe" he said taking solace from that.

"That's not exactly true" Zack said mockingly gloom.

"Who was hurt?" the mayor as concerned as he heard a beeping sound from the officer's belt.

"YOU" Zack said quickly as he socked the mayor on the side of his head.

The mayor, dazed from the blow threw an instant punch at his attacker, striking his gut. The mayor watched in shock and horror as his attackers appearance changed for a moment, from a cop to a blonde hair teen. "who are you?" he asked before he was knocked on the side of the head by a baseball bat. Zack looked at Malcolm standing over the mayor, his bat over his shoulder.

"I had him" Zack said.

"Of course you did chief, I just finished the job" he retorted.

"Job's not over until you get him out of here"

"Right" Malcolm said as he gave a hand signal to the rest of the wolf pack to pull over the van and help with the unconscious mayor.

"Good luck" Malcolm said as Zack ran back inside, turning the knobs on the Morph belt turning back into Zero.

"Xero!" he yelled.

(B) Events are parallel times to A

'Zero where are you' Xero thought as she waited behind her hiding spot. She listened as she could hear the silhouettes foot steps get closer and closer. 'Sorry Zero' she thought as she twirled, deactivating her disguise, and pulling out her flamethrower. Xero held her breath and waited until the sounds of the foot steps were right besides her.

"Modifyers agent" she said as she jumped from her hiding spot, now directory in front of the criminal. "You are under-" her words trailed off as she now had a closer look of the assailant, from her pink hair, to her nearly identical white dress and go-go boots. It was like looking into a mirror.

The figure in front of her smiled sinisterly as she removed her pink wig.

"Lacey" Xero said in a weak voice.

"In the flesh" she said mockingly.

Xero shook her head as though it would make her go away. "No,no,no,no...y-y-you can't be real" she stammered.

"O, but I am" Lacey said as she lightly pushed Xero whose legs were already on the brink of clasping. She fell like a bundle of wheat.

Lacey took a step back as she pulled out her flamethrower, keeping it inches from Xero's nose. "Now you'll know whats its like to not exist!" Lacey said with a deep dark malice in her voice.

Lacey suddenly felt a cold chill on her neck.

"Thats enough from you" a familiar voice said.

Lacey didn't dare turn her head but instinctively recognized the voice. "Hello Love" she said with false joy.

Xero shook her head again as though she was breaking away from a trance. She looked behind Lacey and saw Zero standing behind her with his cold gun against her neck.

Xero quickly collected her flamethrower and was standing besides Zero within a moment.

"You alright?" he asked.

"Yea, I'll be fine" she reassured.

Zero turned his attention back to the criminal. "Turn around slowly" he commanded.

"Trust me you don't want to see her face, she has one of those ugly mugs" Xero said hoping a joke would calm her nerves and prepare Zero's.

Lacey turned around slowly, and shock crossed across Zero's face. Zero tried to hid his shock but failed to keep it out of his voice. "She has your face" he said whispered to Xero.

"Yep, she has my face" Xero said as she mentally tried to get a handle of all of this. "What are you" she finally asked.

"Simple" Lacey said with pride "I'm better then you. I'm a stronger, smarter, better healer, more durable version of you that you can never be."

"For a superior being you got captured pretty easily" Xero said feeling her nerves finally calming down. 'Just think of her as a completely different person' Xero told herself.

Lacey looked at her angrily.

Suddenly they heard someone from the first floor yell "Xero!"

Lacey turned her attention back to the agents. "Did I forget to mention I'm pretty dang fast" she said as she quickly snached Zero's cold gun from his hand, strong enough to pull it from his grasp.

Before either one of them could react Lacey froze both of there feet to the floor and Xero flamethrower to her hand.

"I'll be back for you guys in a bit" Lacey said as she started walking down the stairs, leaving Zero's cold gun out of reach of either one of them.

Xero and Zero just looked at each other in shock that Lacey was fast enough disarmed them in a matter of seconds.
