"Hey guys."
"I guess the secret's out."
Not only that, but the twins were also... parents. Their long lost secret son, Ahmund Zero had the two most powerful beings in the multiverse at his disposal. And they left with a giant ball of fire for what was left of the Earth, but not before taking a couple souvenirs for victory.
How did it all end up in the aftermath? Find out now!
Hail to the Zero Empire: The Final Stage
Two years later
The Harvinger of Death
While the Harvinger of Death is a transcending death machine of cosmic proportions, it also houses lots of soilders for Metteraun's army, prisoners, and species that he gave homes for when their planet was destroyed. The Harvinger's population sits at about 67 octillion lifeforms, double since the Earth was destroyed. Along the strrets around the gates to a large golden castle that homed the new Zero family, people were rejoicing and celebrating what they now call: Zero Day.
People were out on the streets drinking, playing various types of games, the children running wild, and some couples were getting real 'excited' if you know what I mean. While it took a while for Earthlings to get used to people doing such sinful acts out in the open, they eventually came around.
Just 730 cycles ago, the empire had it's biggest victory and obtained the key to the balance of good and evil in the multiverse. And it all involves one word: Zero.
The name of their savior, their new rulers, and their new royal family.
Ahmund had become a legend in the villain world as he conerted the children of Penn and Sashi Zero evil, and pulled the bigget coup-de-ta over the former emperor Metteraun. He single handedly disarmed Metteraun of his pendent and found the location of the boots of XLR8 within the spand of two hours, and became the youngest ruler of the harvinger of Death at age 5. Though now he was the prince, as the new King and Queen of the Harvinger were his parents. Twins Akira and Lara Zero.
Actually there were two kings and two queens now, Ahmund let them keep their lovers from Earth. He may be evil, but he wants his mom and dad happy. The three were to now have the parent and kid relationship that Ahmund never had.
-With Akira-
In the courtyard of the new castle, the former part time hero was in the middle of one of his training sessions. He now sported a pair of dark purple shorts and two golden arm bands. He doesn't wear shoes any more as they constrist his movement by a little, but enough for him go barefoot from now on. His unruly red hair now had a purple glow to it and had a black stripe going down the center, in the center of his chest rested the dragon's eye of the pendent of power as it was now enchanted with his body.
Right now he was in the dead center of the courtyard, with a billion soilders with cannons aimed right at him. He was only armed with his sacred sword Excalibur, which now had a dark handle and purple aura emanating from it.
When one cannon ball of dark energy came at him, it was merely inches from him before he sliced it clean through. Two more came at him at the same time on both sides, and in just one instant both were sliced in half as the pieces went past him and collided with each other. These balls have leveled entire continents with just one blast, and Akira was chopping them like fruit. This kept going as all the cannons just started firing at him, one by one they came at the king. Akira cut every last one as they came within striking distance with total persision and strength that some have were pulverized. With each cannon ball sliced, a million more came at him.
This may be just training, but he wanted it to be like they wanted to murder him. From all angles he was being fired at, but he didn't even seemed the least bit scared as he casually struck all oncoming attacks. And the speed he was using in this senquece left him with after images, then he seemed to be going so fast that they couldnt even see him before the cannon balls were sliced.
And with the last of the ammo, he just caught every last one of them with one hand and tossed them all into the air. He then winked to the camera as time seemed to slow down and all the remaining balls were turned to dust.
He panted as all of his soldiers cheered at the display their king had shown, and his slaves had groaned in defeat as they headed back to the armory to build more ammo.
"Everyone take 5." he ordered, everyone ran off to enjoy their break. Akira had slowly walked over to a nearby bench, where his half demon fiancé and former part time scout was sitting in her demon form in a black succubus style langerie that showed a lot of her pale skin and barely covering her boobs and ass. The old part time scout had her sycthe next to her and her shroud hood over her head, she held a little stop watch in her hand and looked at it as her now evil yet still loving fiance approached her.
"Time!" he demanded.
"... Just 0.002 milliseconds short," he growled while snapping his fingers, "I guess I'm picking the movie tonight?"
He sighed and sat next to her as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "Fine, I may be the new evil co-overlord of a planet full of bad guys and wackos. But I am a man of my word, my shadow queen." he said before giving her a kiss on the cheek, drawing a blush to her face. Since Ahmund let Akira keep her as his new pet and eventually wife, they had been a little more... active about their love more then usual. With Akira as the one who dominates her 100% of the time. As long as he still loved her, she was fine with this new arrangement. Though she still finds it weird that she's be sharing a husband with with his sister.
"But no horror movies!" he told her, she yelped from the suddeness of the demand.
"Okay."
"Your higness!" the two were then met with a centaur squire, "The prince is having an announcement on the padio for the entire Harvinger, and he demands that you and your sister are there."
He groaned as he exclaimed, "Oh man, was that today? Tell him I'll be there, and that I am bringing Rose along!" he ordered as he stood up still holding Rose tightly.
"But, sir-"
"DO IT OR IT'S THE MINES FOR YOU!"
"EEP, YES SIR!" he ran off as he didn't want to go back to the mines, their cold, cramp, and only have basic cable.
"Alright, hop on." he said, then he caught Rose in his arms in bridal position.
-With Lara-
The former part time sidekick was right now in the valley of science running some tests on her new strength from the gauntlets and speed from her boots. Since she came to be the evil co-empress of the Harvinger, she had fully unleashed her wild side. Her brown hair that her pony tail dyed blue was now flowing freely and rest neatly on her shoulders, and on top of that she now only wears her two relics, and a dark smile.
She found that her clothes had slowed down her speed and hindered her mobility, and since she had lost her clothes more times than any one in the series. She figured it be best to just go all natural from now on so she doesn't lose another set of clothes, plus she saved a fortune. She no longer had her specs, as she didn't need them anymore now that she wasn't a part time hero anymore.
Currently Lara was now in a giant metal like machine where she is holding up a giant metal rod that was hooked to a machine, she was holding it with just one pinky with a cocky smile on her face. She looked off to the side to see her fiancé Tyler who was holding his staff close to him and his golden wings out, since she brought him along he thought she was trying to make him feel uncomfortable. She had always made sure that her bare body was in his view and had seemed to be making very seductive gestures to him in everything, so he was constantly red-faced and uncomfortably hard. He even had the scientists make him special golden pants that can conceal anything, including the ever growing tool between his legs. He groaned in frustration as he saw Lara blow him a kiss and did a few not so subtle poses his way with the thing she was effotlessly held up.
Maryssa the top scientist was looking over a clipboard examining her progress told her, "You are currently holding up 500 dodecatillion megatons, more than 5 million times the previous record held by your own mother. I hate to be one to tell her that, in fact DIBS NOT IT!" she yelled as she touched her nose.
"DIBS NOT IT!" her fellow scientists did the same, except for Dr. Wrath as he was too late.
"Aw man, hope she doesn't turn me into crab cakes." he whined until he left.
"Alright your majesty, just set the thing down and you can head on back to your abode and continue torturing your non-relative mate." Maryssa told Lara.
She shrugged, "Okay, spoilsport." she said as she tossed the thing back, which crashed into the one of the labs.
Maryssa said dully, "And there goes another 4 trillion in 'Lara Damages'." she and the others left to clean up the mess, leaving her and Tyler alone. The former part time medic had no time before he was tackled to the ground and was straddled by his new evil yet loving fiancé, he was still surprised that she chose to keep him as a lover and romantic partner when she became co-leader of the empire and mother with her brother.
She looked down to his scared eyes with seductive ones, "Alone at last, Tylie-poo. You know what that means?" she said with a wiggled in her hips, grinding onto his crotch area making him whimpered.
"C-c-c-c-can't it w-w-w-wait for later babe? Y-y-y-you rung me dry just thirty minutes ago, and I'm sore even with my healing abilities!"
She shot her head till she was inches from his face, she had a look of anger "Tyler Mendalla, what is Law 57 section 98 footnote 2?"
He gulped as she was glaring a hole in his soul, "Tyler will obey all sexual and romantic commands from his queen Lara without question or back talk."
"Do you love me?"
"Since I first laid eyes on you!" he confessed.
"Sooooooo?"
"Okay, fine! But please be gentle, I don't think even I can heal from another round like last week."
She smiled and patted his head, "Why of course my little boy nurse, anything for you sweety pie." she sweetly said as she used her other hand to removed his pants, they then went in for a kiss. But just before they touched lips...
"Your majesty!"
They both stopped, wide eyed. Lara then growled as steam was coming from her ears as she turned to see a jackel in a bard outfit coming towards her right before she can screw her fiance silly, AGAIN! Tyler discreetly sighed in relief.
"This better be important Flynn, you of all people should know that if Lara Zero gets interrupted when she's getting kinky with her Tyler without a GOOD excuse, then it's OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" she threatened as she held up a glowing gauntlet fist while she still was on the poor boy's waist.
"It's from Prince Ahmund, he requests you and your brother for a huge announcement." she lowered her fist and sighed.
"Oh right, forgot that was today. Tell him I'm on my way." she told the messanger called 'Flynn' who ran off not wanting to have his antlers up his ass for cock-blocking her. She looked to Tyler and chuckled, "I guess our next love making session can hold off for a while, a long while." she said before standing up and pulling up to his feet.
"But I thought-" he was stopped when she planted a big and wet kiss on his lips. She pulled away and told him.
"Look on the bright side, you're finally getting that break. But afterwards, I am coming for you and your dick. So you better be prepared for Lara Zero." she lovingly told him, though he can feel the anguish and lost in her eyes.
He pulled her close to her, hugging her bare form. She hugged back, "But we can still, 'play' right? Just not the last step?"
"I would like that."
"What's this announcement for?" he asked.
"You'll see, hop on." she said turning around for him to jump on her back, she was gonn agive him a piggy back right. "Hold on tight now, wouldn't want a repeat of the 'fraynuian stand' incident?"
"Don't remind m-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~" he screamed when she broke out in a faster than light speed dash.
-In the throne room of the castle-
Ahmund was pacing around in the family throne room, he has it remodeled to look like his parents old bedroom so they didn't get too homesick. His bunny/best friend Calypso sat on the arm rest of the slightly smaller looking throne between the two demonic looking ones. You can tell who they belong to.
"Can you believe it's been 2 years since that day?" The 7 year old prince of evil questioned.
"I can hardly believe it myself, having the two most powerful beings in the multiverse on the side of evil? I would have laughed at the thought!" He lowly chuckled.
"Well now it's a reality. I was abandoned from a very young age from those two, I don't care if they were blood twins. I just wanted to have my family back, and it all worked out for everyone. They get to keep their lovers, they're reunited with grandma and grandpa, and my uncles and aunts seem to be happy."
We cut to the three young Zeros, the girls in their demon form and Jin as a human on a giant roller coaster in the town fair. And the half koopa twins Brock and Chara were watching Kyoko and Bo while they were playing a Dunk the Drako game, with the vampire looking grumpy every time he fell into the water.
Back to Ahmund, "Everybody wins, though the Earth was just some mild collateral damage but hey! You can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs."
"You called for us honey?" He heard as his parents arrived with their respective fiancé.
He looked slightly annoyed, "Oh, you brought them?" Akira and Lara gave him a look that said 'You have five seconds to retract that comment.' He shrugged innocently, "Fine they can stay, someone needs to watch over the babies." He snapped his fingers and two babies appeared in the fiancés' arms.
Rose was holding a small pale 15 month old with small red bangs that covered her eyes and had a black diaper. Tyler was holding a smaller ten month old kid with a couple strands of brown hair and blue eyes. The Zero twins gave a light kiss to the heads of their respective child, before heading out with their son Ahmund.
-During the announcement-
Somewhere in the streets while the Zeros were talking, a hooded figure slithers through the crowd. They maneuvered passed many different types of life, until they reached the side of a building. With no one looking they pressed a block into the building, which revealed a secret passage underground.
The figure walked down a long series of dark tunnels with a torch in hand, until they came across a dimly lit room with two cot beds which were occupied by certain two remaining part time heroes.
"How are you two progressing?"
"We're still alive, yet a couple burns in places." said the rasp voice of Cass, the genius had her lower body covered in white bandages and had some ice around to try and cool her off. Same with the former wiseman of the part time team and her brother BJ, who's hair had singed up so it just reached his shoulders. That supernova had hit them hard, luckily they were saved before they were turned into part time ashes.
"Yeah, I've been too in pain to even eat." BJ groaned as he turned longingly to a pile of leftover food, which were the only rations they had as it was the only food they had that wasn't inedible to humans.
The figure lowered their hood to reveal... Mildred, "And the others?"
"They're fine." Cass answered pointing to the dazed former part time villains, and Milferd.
"I cannot believe that insolent child of those two punks has caused more damage to the multiverse in a couple days, than my entire family has done in milleniums!" Zalio complained, even his aunt Nergan never stood a chance against Ahmund's wrath and planning. He's all that is left of his family.
"My little boy, she is gonna pay for using my son as a toy!" Dora growled as she ripped a head of an Empress Lara doll, Nora blasting the head of hers.
"Deep down I knew those two had some kind of dark side, my little sister must be broken to see her love in such a state." Zed morbidly said as he held a picture of a younger him and Rose back in their home of Hell.
"Who wants muffins?" everyone looked to Carrie in annoyance, she looked a little sadden "Too soon?"
"It's gonna take more than pastries for this." Milferd told her.
"He is right," Mildred announced, "This is no longer about the balance of good vs evil, that has gone all out of wack when Ahmund took control of everything with the hands of Akira and Lara. The twins we know are still in there, they are just confused. No matter to who it is, when done properly parenting is the most heroic challenge of them all. And Akira and Lara have met that challenge at a very young age, and with each other. The reason they never told anyone is because they were afraid of losing their loved ones."
"I think we know how they feel." Cass said as she held BJ's hand.
"Yeah, when we found out we were long lost twins just a few months after we started dating, we were pretty frightened at first." BJ nodded, "But that didn't mean we stopped loving each other in our own way, now we let our love fly even more. Even if we get occasional looks and sneers, who cares. And the guys were still our friends."
"And I thing that is what Akira and Lara need, to know that they still have real and caring friends that still love them now. Friends that aren't scared of what they are now, to know that they are still truly loved and appreciated." Mildred finished off. "Now here's the plan."
(Later)
At the castle of the Zero family, two huge doors burst down to a very large bedroom with a bed the size of a swimming pool divided into two sides. And entering were the Zero twins after that announcement with their son Ahmund, who went off to take care of a few things leaving his parents to spend some time with their fiances and respective child.
"Another day, another galaxy under our rule. Day in the life of a Zero." Lara smugged as she danced wildly as she and her brother entered, Tyler trying to focus on feeding their son: Maxel, and not on Lara's bouncing goods. "I can still hear the ovation when we conquered Bastral-9V without even doing anything." Lara said with an ear close to the window, hearing their adoring public.
Akira just looked at her dully, "I'm pretty sure that's mostly because SOMEONE decided to go stark AGAIN!" ever since he and Lara had become the new emperors of Metteraun's old army and decided to be the parents they should have been to Ahmund, Lara has really imbraced the 'no rules' rule of the harvinger. Her favorite being that clothes were 'optional', so she hasn't worn a single thing since then. Except her relics, and though he doesn't mind seeing his sister as a permanent nudist after years of them sharing everything, he does get on his nerves when she does it at important events and meetings they go to.
She shrugged, "Hey, I don't hear anybody complaining. Besides," she gave off a smirk as she did a little twirled and twirked at her boy toy's direction "I've grown to enjoy the breeze when I am bashing people's faces and breaking enemies' backs." she gave him a small wink.
Akira just rolled his eyes, "Whatever, just please keep it away from my little Ichika." he groaned before heading over to Rose who was rocking their baby girl in her pale arms on the other side of the bed.
"Jeez, you two fight more than an old married couple." Tyler said as Maxel finished the contents of his bottle. Lara grabbed the empty thing and tossed it to a servant who took it to have it cleaned, she then sat right next to him wrapped an arm around him.
"Maybe because we kind of are, except for the old part." he groaned as he looked away from that statement, he remembered that sometime after he and Rose were brought along by the Zeros the twins had at some time tied the knot because of Ahmund. "But, you know that the man I will love forever is you." she said before giving him a kiss on the cheek, "And no ring or seven year old product of inadvertent incestial breeding can change that."
He sighed as he looked at her, "I guess, but I still feel kind of awkward about all this."
"Join the club." Rose stated with Akira huggging her from behind.
"Look, I know this new thing is hard. And a little bit, weird." Akira told his pale love.
"But, even though we will be taking our job as parents to Ahmund seriously. We will always have time for you guys." Lara spoke to Tyler, cuddling up to him. "We don't want to lose you guys because of a mistake that happened long before we met you guys."
Tyler and Rose looked into their respective Zero twin's eyes and they can see they regretted keeping this a secret, and they still love them even with Ahmund around. Though this may not be how they wanted to spend their futures with the Zero fo their choice, at least they were still in their lives. And that's all they can ask for.
Tyler held Lara in one arm, and Maxel in the other "You know, in some fucked up kind of way, I think this will all work out." he said as Lara kissed him on the lips.
Rose shrugged, "Meh, I've seen worst. But, I'm glad I still have a place with you my King of the Dark." Rose said she and Akira shared a kiss.
Just then two chefs came in with a cart an a big silver dome came in, "Your dessert is served your majesties." Said the female chef with a familiar sounding voice.
The two conjoined families all sat at the end of the bed for their dessert, licking their lips in anticapation for...
Nothing?
They all complained when the dome was lifted to reveal an empty plate sans a couple crumbs.
"Wait a minute, only one guy we know can devour a septumble layer cake with a creme filling and a chocolate spread so easily." Akira realized something, the two 'chefs' then chuckled as they revealed.
"SURPRISE!" that they were the only two former part time heroes left, BJ and Cass with their relics and in super form.
Akira and Lara jumped up and readied for battle, "How are you two still alive?" the king demanded.
"You should have been burnt to a crisp in that supernova!" Lara growled.
"That's a long tale you two have no time to hear!" BJ defied.
"Look, we just want to talk to you guys." Cass tried to reason with them, but got a hard gauntlet right to the face. The force sending her through the doors and down the hall and right into the far wall. "Just as I expected." she grumbled before she was hit with a flying BJ right through the wall and they ended up in the arena by the castle grounds where a huge audience was about to watch them get dismembered.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 145,000th annual Doom Gauntlet. Where we have this year's unlucky victims, BJ and Cass, in the fight for their lives!" Ahmund announced to a standing ovation from the crowd. BJ and Cass looked around to see everyone one the Harvinger to see them survive this game, or die trying. They then saw the entire Zero family watching from the large balcony, with Penn in his human form for the first time since Season 1.
"That's a lot of people." BJ said.
"I have a feeling this is gonna be very ugly." Cass hypothosized.
"Introducing their first challenger, from the Quonai Sector, at a combined weight of 5000 lbs. They know so many ways to end people's lives, they litteraly wrote the book on it, their The Authors of Death!"
As Ahmund announced them, the two victims saw portals opening on both sides of the arena and walked out of each of them was a tall and bulky cyclops in dark armor and weilding giant axes.
"Alright let's make this quick, I'm supposed to pick up the cake for my niece's birthday party by 5." The one facing BJ told him, "So you want to be smashed, stomped, or squished?"
"How about a light tickling?" BJ feared for his life. The one that Cass was staring down looked through a book.
"Don't see anything in my book about that, eh we'll just improvise."
And so the first battle waged on, well it was more exactly the Authors chasing BJ and Cass. While BJ was screaming like a little girl, Cass just kept a stoned face.
"The Authors? Nice choice there hoeny." Lara complimented Ahmund as she ruffled his hair.
"Thanks ma, but there are plenty more where that came from. Those two will pay for breaking into the royal property,assault on the royal chefs, and most importantly; daring to eat the king and queen's Zero Day/ wedding aniversary cake." Ahmund said.
Akira shrugged, "Meh, BJ eats everything. I saw him chow down once on half a bathroom mat." Ahmund raised an eyebrow at this.
"IT HAD PICTURES OF HOT DOGS ON IT!" they heard BJ defend.
Ahmund then said, "Well I wouldn't bring him to an all you can eat buffet."
(120 hours later)
Surrounded by a lot of fallen enemies, BJ and Cass stood there panting and sweating, barely still standing and near the brink of exhaustion. BJ's robe was torn off leaving him in his underear, and Cass had lost her lab coat so she only had a silver bikini on.
"HOW ARE YOU TWO STILL ALIVE?!"
They turned defiantly to the enraged Ahmund, they've been at this for five days straight and not even close to being done with. He was sure that they would have perished from the sirens three nights ago, the crowd was getting restless and some of them were starting to get on the two heroes side.
"Because you have something that we want, our friends back." Cass remarked.
Ahmund then snapped, "FINE, THEN HAVE THEM!" he then pressed a button, which ejected the two in question into the arena. They landed gracefully and ready for battle. "Show these two why you guys are the rulers of this flying pile of dirt, do what these useless sacks couldn't. END THEM!"
"Akira, Lara!" BJ shouted.
"Is this really what you guys want?" Cass asked them fearfully.
"Nothing personal guys." Akira told them.
"It's just business." Lara gravely told them.
Lara charged at them, Cass narrowly avoiding her fists. Her glasses letting her know when her attacks are about to strike, and she used her book to make a shield around her to block Lara's attacks. As his sister was dealing with Cass, he was swinging wildly at BJ who was despeartely trying not to get sliced.
"Akira you don't have to do this!"
"And you don't realize that I DON'T give a shit!"
Cass crawled back as she kept summoning shields while Lara was breaking them like glass, "Guys, we don't want to fight you. We know this isn't you!"
Lara just looked at her like she wanted to kill, "You know nothing Casandra, you don't know what it what it was like to have produced at a young age. And with your TWIN?!"
"On the contrary, me and BJ do know how you feel. We told you we had a complicated relationship when it comes to romance when we found out we were brother and sister, so yes I DO understand." Lara growled at this.
The Zeros kept attacking them as they tried to avoid their attacks, but fatigue and the Zeros' overwhelming power eventually got the better of them. While Lara was giving Cass massive blows to her body at unbelievable speeds, BJ was getting covered in cuts and stabs.
The fighting challengers had no strength left, after a painfully long fight then a one sided beatdown BJ and Cass had dropped to their knees. With blood, sweat, and tears all over the arena ground. They had lost a lot of blood, and their remaining clothing so they were at the mercy in their birthday suits. They dropped their relics as they reverted back to their normal forms, they had no more strength. They saw their relics glowing and floating over to the standing victors: the Zeros.
Akira had put on the necklace with the Sphere and held Merlin's wand as a much more powerful aura had came from his body, his eyes gained a glowing white and his hair danced in the wind. Lara had absorbed the book and Eyes of Providence, thus turning her eyes from blood red to Illuminati green. And the Book of Wisdom now floated around her in a golden bubble.
They now had four relics each.
"Any last words?" They asked as they prepared to strike them.
BJ and Cass stared defiantly, Boone and Maryssa looked to elder Zeros. "This wasn't part of the show, there not really gonna-"
"SHUT UP!" Ahmund yelled into their faces, he then turned to his parents "Finish them!"
BJ sighed, "Go ahead." everyone stopped, time froze. Akira and Lara were surprised at this.
"BJ?" Cass cried, "What are you doing?"
"Cass, it's all over for us. It's over for the multiverse." he said sadly, "We lost everything: our family, our home, our friends, our clothes. The only thing we had left for us was our friendship with the Zero twins, but now that's all gone. Akira, Lara." Zero twins looked at their defeated friends with looks of regret, "You helped us so much in the time we spent together, you helped me with my health and wellness and Cass with being more social and emtional attached. You were not just teammates to us, you're our friends. Our family." he held Cass' hand as he gave his speech. The twins eyes got teary, so did the other Zeros, and the Wisemans, and Tyler and Rose. Everyone got the feels.
Akira dropped his sword, and Lara lowered her fists. Both getting good looks at each other, they ralized something. They became monsters.
"Is this really what we want Lara? To give up everything we are, and for what? A kid we never planned on having?" Akira questioned her.
"I. I... I really don't know anymore."
Akira looked around them, "We've become what we despise." he closed his eyes as the eye in his chest glowed white.
"What are you doing dad?" Ahmund questioned.
He didn't answer as nearly everyone on the planet emmited an white glow, and when people looked in the sky they. They can see loads of planets forming in the depths of space, "Liberating the army." Everyone looked confused at this answer.
"We're returning everyone home, without the influence of Zerato." Lara verified.
Ahmund went wide eyed as the army was transported back to their home planet, all that remained were him and the six now reunited part time heroes. Tyler and Rose came down to hug their respective Zero twin, glad to have the old Akira and Lara back. Akira and Lara then gave BJ and Cass their respective relics back. Ahmund came down in his jet pack as the group seperated and saw his expression, which read murderous intentions.
"What is the meaning of this?" he sneered.
The twins just shrugged, "All this evil dictator stuff just doesn't really fit well for us, so we're just gonna go back to beating evil instead of committing it." Akira replied.
"Also being stark for two years straight is starting to get old and cold, plus I keep getting bug bites in places." Lara added while scratching the side of her neck.
"We could have been something marvelous together. We could have been one big evil and happy family." Ahmund morbidly said as he removed his tux jacket and shirt, showing a decently toned bod for a seven year old. "But, now." he brought a small beaker with a dark purple fluid, "You're all gonna die, by your own flesh and blood."
Akira, Lara, and the others readied themselves for a fight "What is that?"
Ahmund gave off a maniacal smirk and chuckled furiously, "You'll see." he then drank the contents and downed it before tossing the beaker away, he then proceed to wipe his mouth before he started to transform.
They saw the spawn of the Zeros get shrouded in a black mist as his mind and body started to get corrupted. His body turning pitch black and his eyes became a glowing blood red. They jumped when he then got hit by a stroke of lightning.
"If this is our last time together, then there's something I need to get off my chest before I die." Lara told them, the team giving her their attention.
"When I'm alone... I BINGE WATCH MY LITTLE PONY!" she screamed in embarrassedment.
GASP!
"I as well haven't been completely honest with you guys." Cass confessed, she then hid her face in her book "I actaully cheated on all of my exams!"
GASP!
Rose then sighed, "... I play with barbie dolls on sundays."
GASP!
BJ then gained a thinking look, "Hmmm, secret. Secret, secret, what's a good secret? Oh I got it, I'm actually worth a quadrillion dollers!"
WHAT!?
"All those eating contests give a lot of money to the victors." he shrugged.
"... I am actually good at sports!" everyone just gave Tyler a 'really?' look, he sighed "Fine that was a lie, I just wanted to go down with people thinking I was athletic."
While they were doing their last secrets, a second lightning struck hit Ahmund during his transformation. The team looked to Akira, who was sweating nervously.
"Ok FINE!" he then admitted, "... Akira is not actually my real name...it's... Beverly!"
GASP!
"Okay with all that out of the way, are you guys ready?" Akira asked his reformed teammates.
"Dude, this is totally a suicide mission!" Tyler panicked.
"Maybe," Lara replied, "...but we're the only ones that can end this."
The four non Zeros murmured in agreement.
"Sectumble fist bump!"
They got into battle stances, their relics ready for a war.
The team heard a dark and low chuckle coming from the dark cloud shrouding their final boss, "Foolish mortals, you have seen far too much. You have only ONE warning, and I will not repeat it. SURRENDER AND RUN, OR YOUR SOULS ARE MINE!"
"NEVER!"
"You just sealed your fate."
Just then, in coming a giant dark wave that swallowed up the entire planet and the unierse they're in. And with that, The Harvinger of Death, the team, the being that used to be Ahmund. They were all gone.
.

..
...
In the Void
Nothing. That's where they were now, nothing. No color, no substance, no anything. Along the distance equal to a universe, was only nothing.
The team looked around, neither of them could see anything in this void. All they had were their relics, and nothing.
"Guys," Akira started.
"Where are we?" Lara added.
"Weird, I'm not picking up our location in my book." Cass replied looking through her Book of wisdom.
"Where's anything? Or anyone?" BJ asked.
"I'm not picking up anything from my dark connections." Rose said.
"What is this place?" Tyler questioned.
"Your in the void, my void."
The jumped at the demonic voice again, "This was where I was banished, where I was left for dead in ultimate solitary confinement. They all thought I was a monster, a freak of supernatural, a disgrace to the ultimate family. For what? Because I was different, because I had different ideas. Because I had love, for my sister?"
"Wait a minute, I think I have an idea."
"And you be right Akira Zero, or should I say?
BEVERLY!"
"Thanks a lot, Great Uncle Chuck!" the part time hero aggravated.
They looked up to see a dark orb with spikes glow as it unveiled it's true form, and it became a giant black demon man with blood red eyes, razor sharp claws, a centaur lower-half, a long dragon tail, and two horns coming out of his head. And he had two giant bat wings, he floated down in front of the team. The thing was about 9000 stories tall, bigger than anything these six have ever faced.
"Ahmund?" Akira and Lara fearfully asked.
"Not anymore, that was my current life. Ahmund was the reincarnation of me, the ultimate GOD OF EVIL AND SIN! ZERATO!"
"Oh man." the six heroes muttered.
"I gave you a choice, to stay with me and we can be a family again. Or incur the wrath of a broken child of divine power."
"Again? What do you mean again?" Lara questioned.
"Akira, Lara. In both me AND Ahmund's lives, you two were the ones that made us. There are gods, there are the masters of the universe, there is the omni king that rules all of the multiverse known and unknown to mortal and immortal kind. And then there's the ones that made it all happen: The Ultimate Creaters."
The Zero twins looked confused, in a previous life they had. THEY were the ones that made all of existence? Everything and anything?
"This goes beyond anything of those not of the top .1 percent of the almighty gods can even remotely comprehend, nobody even knows the existence of the ultimate Creators. The ones that brought all universe to have ever exist to reality, except their inbred kin."
"Huh?"
"Yes Zeros, the Ultimate Creators were twins like you. And like you, made the one mistake. Me, Zerato and Ahmund. Only Zerato had a sister in the tough times without a parent, Saige. We were the masters of the forces of good and evil. Saige was the defender of all that is good and pure, I was the master of all that was evil and sinful. Even though we had constant fights, we loved each other so. Me, a little more than normal. But, she rebuffed my affections. After that our fights became battles, battles devolved into an all out war. It wasn't until a fatal incident had destroyed both of our bodies, but one of us got out of it in some way. It was actually Saige that extracted my soul and tossed it into the great beyond, leaving her to be completly erased.
Losing my beautiful and loving sister, I snapped to my highest level. So from host to host, I have systematically destroyed every universe I had came accross. If I can't feel the warm arms of a loving being, then no one can. And the ones that survived my path of destruction, I took under my wing. I had constructed a massive ship out of a planet that travelled between universes in mere seconds, I had more than enough soilders and people to populate what was the Harvinger of Death.
But no matter how much I have done, nothing can filll the void that was left by Saige. I've been so alone for so long, I just wanted what I never got to have. A family. Can't you understand the pain I have felt for eternity?"
.
"NO, AND WE DON'T WANT TO!" The twins yelled and charged at him, but they got pushed back by a dark force that knocked them back to the team. Akira and Lara quicky got back up and charged at him again, but they got caught by Zerato's clutches.
"AKIRA, LARA!" their friends panicked.
"You four are not needed here, this is between me and my parents." Zerato told them as he summoned hordes of demons to attack them. "That should keep you ingrats busy for a few centuries."
Zerato then teleported him and the twins in his hand to a dimension of a gothic castle and black skies, "You won't get away with this Zerato, we WILL stop you!" Akira said as he and Lara tried to wringle out of their captor's giant claw hand.
"Yeah, we've been through much worst than this!" Zerato gave them an indifferent look, "Okay that's partially not true, and I am getting pretty scared now." Lara said feeling a little scared.
"Why does this hand feel wet and warm? You must be so scared right now you are starting to sweat!" Akira questioned Zerato.
"I don't sweat."
Lara giggled with a huge blush on her cheeks, "Ewwwwwww, Lara!" Akira struggled harder against his binds. Zerato just conjured up a stone wall and shoved the two harshly on it, he then manifested a couple dark shackles around their wrists and ankles to keep them in place, their arms and legs spread out like two wounded spiders. The two tried to wringle out of their binds, but ended up getting a little shock from their shackles. This caused Akira to drop Excalibur to the ground below, it was falling for a while before it got caught by Zerato.
"I think you two won't be needing these anymore." The dark god then removed the gauntlets and boots from Lara, leaving her in her bare mortal body hanging. He then proceeded to do the same with Akira's pendent, he gripped the sides of the dragon eye roughly and pulled. Akira grimacing as it felt like a knife being pulled from his chest, the pain magnifying into something he never experinced. He gritted his teeth as the pain intensified as the eye was starting to get ripped from his body, he screamed as it finally came off. There was a giant hole in his chest where it was left, the eye dissapating back into it's pendent form.
Zerato laughed as he put on all the relics from the broken heroes, each emitting a dark glow as Zerato's power reached unpresidented levels. "Oh how the might have fallen? So tells the story of Akira and Lara Zero, once the mose powerful beings in existence. But now, look at you two. Battered, bloody, chained, naked. You know what you two are? You're just a whole lot of nothing!" The twins lowered their heads in defeat, he wsa right. This was far beyond anything they were ready for, and now they were displayed like two trophies to the omnipotent Zerato.
"Now, I'm gonna go check on your little friends. After I am done with them, all there'll be left in existence is us three. We will build a new multiverse, in my image. With you two as my top soilders, and my personal slaves." Zerato told them as he turned around and walked slowly to a dark portal, "And we can be together, forever."
After he left, all the Zero twins can do at this point was the only thing they can do at a time like this.
Cry.
(2 weeks later)
In all the 17 years that have passed, this point in time was their lowest.
Akira and Lara Zero, defeated and broken. They lost their spirits, they lost their wills to live, they lost their home, family, jobs, planet, clothes, and their pride. They were still stuck up high above the clouds on their wall the last two weeks without any food or water, they were soon about to die. No one had come to save them, no one probably even know what happened to them. All they can do was wait as the last of their strength was drained from their bodies.
Akira barely had enough to gently grab Lara's shackled hand, "I...I'm sorry Lara." he weakly puffed out. "I let all this happened to you. They were right about me. Ahmund, Bendy, Zerato. Everything they said was true, I'm no hero. I failed as a Zero, as a hero of the multiverse, and as a brother. I'm sorry." Akira wept as tears had came down from his face, all the way down to the ground below.
Lara cough from her severe dehydration, "It's fine Akira," her voice sounded kind of course, "I'm the one who should be sorry. I wasn't strong enough for any of this. For the animation studio, the wars, this god. I wasn't ready for any of this. The truth is Akira," she sniffed a little "I only act tough and cool headed to get by this crazy and twisted life we had, but on..." Akira listened in closely. "While I have a badass image and strength of a million bears without those gauntlets, but underneath. The real Lara Zero. I... I'm terrified."
Akira's jaw dropped, both from shock and his depleting muscle strength. "Lara?"
"Honestly, without you and Tyler and the others. I probably wouldn't last five minutes in this kind of stuff, mom would freak if she heard any of this."
Akira looked over the dark horizon, "Well, I guess we're both losers. Everything I ever done was from flying on the seat of my pants, I never had a plan for anything. We have tempted fate more times than there are stars in the cosmos, I guess she decided it was time for us to pay our dept. Even though we are gonna be the slaves of our demented reincarnation son, as long as I'm with you Lara. I'm okay with it." he shrugged with a smile.
The two weakly looked towards each other, with smiles on their faces.
Lara: I tried. On my own I thought I get there.
Around and around, but I was only getting nowhere.
Akira: Then you. Came along and gave me something.
Something I could believe in trusting.
Both: And I won't go, back again.
As the two were singing their last breaths, they didn't notice that their hands were glowing, Akira a bright red and Lara was getting an eerie blue. Their love for each other, for their friends and family, and their multiverse. Especially to their lovers, Rose and Tyler. Was freeing them.
Both: As long, as I have you.
I can live like there's nothing left to lose.
Unbreak, every fracture in my heart.
Nothing in this world, can ever tear this love apart.
The glowing became brighter, and their shackles had snapped under their love. Two were now floating around circling each other as they glowed their respective colors, they can feel their strength returning and then some.
They say you gotta take the good with the bad.
I'll take it all as long as I have you~"
At the end of their little song, they gave each other a big tight hug. Putting all the emotion they felt not just in the last two years they had been evil, and not just how long they spent in captivity. But from the moment these two were born, and even all the way back through their previous lives.
"I love you Akira/Lara!" they cried as their glowing merged together into a big bright ball of energy, and soon they shot up into the dark sky and right through the dark clouds. This bringing daylight to the once dark and empty land, and giving it life.
(With the others)
Things have started to take a bad turn for the wiseman, genius, medic, and scout. While they have taken out a mighty portion of the demons, nearly seven times more came after as they defeated one. Each more stronger than the last, they were quickly surronded in an instant. And when they get in a pretty bad condition, Tyler would have to use his powers to heal them back to full health.
But doing so much healing so many times in succession in so little time was starting to drain his abilities, and that's not counting his own health. This has drasticly slowed down his own healing factor and nearly depleted his own strength.
BJ had started to sweat from the constant activity he has done, two weeks on the harvinger and again here. He hasn't slept or eaten anything in a month, and it was showing that the lack of Z's and pizza were taking their tole on the overweight wiseman who was just barely using enough magic to keep himself out of the demons' reach. But even down on one knee, he was still fighting, because there are some things more important than food and dreams.
Cass' depiction of their odds surviving were starting to dwindle, she had made a little hamster ball for herself to protect her and give a little fire power to their never-ending enemies. But she was in no way an athlete and her endurance has been tested in the recent events, and it was starting to take in effect. She fell to her bum in exhaustion, this gave the demons time to pound on the orb protecting her. After more than 40 thousand were pounding on her only protection, the cracks were starting to show. "According to my new calculations, I'm dead." she panted.
While Rose was slicing through demons with her uncle's scythe, the shadows from her shroud has ensnared loads of demons and popped their heads off like corks from a wine bottle at a New Year's Eve party. And she also used a little of her own magic to get some of the demons fighting on her side, as her heritage gave her control over all demons. But that was fairly limited, and even she fell to the increasing numbers.
When Zerato had returned to the void, he was much satisfied with what he returned to. All four of his remaining obstacles to his parents love, on their knees bounded by the demons and stripped of their relics.
He darkly chuckled, "I must say, for some teenagers. You never gave up, you deserve an applause for your never ending determination and will." he snided as he gave them a sarcastic slow clap, his minions following suit."But in some case, it's just not enough. The body just doesn't match the mind." He reached out his hand, and all eight of their relics had forcably came to him as he obsorbed their power, becoming even bigger and more scary looking.
"This power, this is what all in existence strive for. With the 12 ancient relics, plus my own beyond godly power. They would say, I'm the most OP being in all of reality, fiction, AND fanfiction. Good will always bring the fight to evil, but eventually the fight runs out."
"...Where's... the twins?" They all slwoly asked.
"Not important. For you won't live to know, you have dread the waters of the lives of Zeros til the point where you go to deep you drown. Which is right here, right now." Zerato said as he manifested a giant evil version of the sacred sword: Excalibur in his right hand, and on his left was one of the Gauntlets of Might with a dark and evil aura.
"Let's make a little example." he then started thinking, "Eenie, meenie, mighty, YOU!"
Zerato yelled to Tyler, who can only watch as he brought the sword down to his person, 'I'm sorry Lara, I wasn't strong enough. I love you.'
When the blade crashed down, nearly all of the void was shattered and there was a massive cloud of smoke.
"But not strong enou- what?"
When the smoke cleared up, everyone dropped their jaw as they saw.
.
.
.
..."LARA!"
The female Zero, with the blade of Excalibur firmly in her hand. But something was different with her, her whole body was a bright golden glow, and her hair went down to her feet and was a pasty white. She smirked as with a flick of her wrist, she SNAPPED the evil sacred sword in half. The shock wave taking out half of the demon enemies around.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Zerato screamed in anger at the broken blade, he threw it away as he ready his left hand at the much alive Lara Zero. Who he thought had a very familiar apperance to someone he knows about, but ignored that as he sent his left right for her.
POW
The collision causing a greater dust cloud that covered the entire thing, "Ha, not so- OH COME ON!"
The reason for this outburst was that when the dust settled, it was now.
"AKIRA!"
The male Zero twin who had the same skin tone and hair as Lara, who with one finger caused the massive punch from the gauntlet to stop completly, and had caused the entire gloe to fall apart. Zerato looked at his now empty and naked hand in shock and awe, and looked towards the broken Excalibur blade. "There are only two people in the history of existence with this kind of power, you're not the Zeros!"
"Yes, and no." the two golden beings answered.
The four behind them put it all together.
"THE ULTIMATE CREATORS!"
"Nailed it." BJ whispered to himself.
Zerato stepped back in shock, the spirits of his former parents had found the bodies of his current life's parents. "Mom, dad!"
"You're parents loved you, even though they were never around to show it." Lara said in an angelic voice.
"This goes to both of you guys, even though we never planned on having you. We're glad we did." Akira added.
Inside Zerato, little Ahmund stood there in the mind with tears in his eyes. "Mother, father."
"This, this can't be!"
"Oh it be."
Without a single second to react, Zerato found himself in a tight hug from the two golden figures. His dark and black heart, starting to get a golden glow. "What is happening? Why am I feeling this way, I'm the high entity of evil and hatred!"
"But you're our entity of evil and hatred." Lara replied.
"And we love you." Akira finished as the glow spread through Zerato's entire body.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~"
The amounts of love were so strong, the result was the largest explosion that wiped out everything that was left. Then all that remained was nothing.
And it was all gone, Zerato and the team. Everything.

Reload, complete. Retunring all of existence as we speak.
And with that, all of life everywhere was restored. Every galaxy in every universe in existence has been restored, like there was never any multiversal trouble.
We now come to Earth, where all seemed normal. Kids were out playing, teenagers were stuck getting ready for college, birds were singing, flowers blooming. All was happy.
Except the night of the Zeros residence, their was a little gathering going on. While all of life everywhere was restored, nobody found a single trace of two people. Akira and Lara, they never returned. Their parents Penn and Sashi were holding a little service for them in their backyard, their friends and families all came to give their condolences.
Rose and Tyler were the front row, along with the kids they had with their respecitve Zero. Rose with Ichika, and Tyler with Maxel. Their families, who were back to normal, hugged them in comfort. Cass was consoling a sadden BJ who was eating his sorrows away with a tray of balogna sandwiches, it's the only thing that can heal his heart.
Around the end of the service, Penn gave the closing speech "Though we may not know what happened to them, let us pray that where ever Akira and Lara Zero ended up. That they are both safe and well prepared. And though we have prepared them for any possible contingency, we never prepared them for this. We hope that somewhere, in someway, that they will know that even in the depths of time and space, we still love them."
"I don't!"
"CAN IT ZALIO!" he grunted, 'I can't believe this is all the screen time I get.'
After everyone went home, the parents and their friends sat in the living room. Rose and Tyler still holding their respective babies, the seven youngest Zero and wiseman kids laying on the floor in sorrow.
Just then, there was a ringing at the door. Penn pulled himself up as he went to see who that could be.
"If that's Aunt Rose, tell her I moved to Puerto Rico!" Sashi called.
"Noted." Penn said as he had his hand on the doorknob. When he opened up the door, he thought he saw a ghost. "Uh honey."
"What?" she morbidly asked as she came to the door, but when she sa what got her husband all worked up, she went wide eyed.
"Hey guys."
"Akira, Lara!" Sashi cried as she glomped her first babies in a tight hug.
"Mother, can't breathe." Lara choked out.
"Oops, sorry." Sashi said as she eased up in the hugs, letting her kids hug her back.
The others came by and saw this going on, they wasted no time in joining the reunion hug.
"We're all happy that you guys are alive." Penn said to his kids, then he looked at their bodies in confusion.
"Why are you two naked?" everyone went wide eyed at this and backed off.
"That's a long story dad." Akira answered as he and Lara ran up to their old room to see if their clothes were restored as well.
"And what's with that?" he asked pointing downwards to a carrier with two babies in it. One boy and one girl, the former he thought looked familiar.
"Antoher long story." Lara replied as she and Akira went up the stairs.
Penn looked a little lost while Sashi lifted up the carrier, "Well that's our kids for you, you think you have them figured out and they just surprise you." she said as she carried the two little guys to the living room.
After that, everyone got to see the babies Yuuno and the reborned Ahmund. And this time, he got the family he wanted. At least this gave Ichika and Maxel some half siblings, which they loved.
When Akira and Lara got into their twenties, they were eventually married to their lovers. Lara and Tyler bewedded and took great care of Maxel and Yuuno, while Akira and Rose gave Ichika and Ahmund a loving family.
With the younger Zero siblings, Sakura had the most amazing life she had with Aaron. She helped him become a whole new man, and he loved her for it. They got married when she was 23 and had a boy named Benjy. Isis met this handsome guy in prison where they had their first kid, and eventually got out and married. With a little help from Sakura, they got Isis's husband Bulldozer (yes that's his name) rehabilitated and now he's an accountant. Jin and Dana got married the second they got out of high school, and had about 12 kids of different ages.
Chara met this nice prodigy boy named Stephen, who she eventually let herself get married to and have a boy they named Sheldon. Who graduated harvard at age two. Brock hadn't met his love until he met this sweet girl his age named Stacy in college, he was a janitor.
After they decided it was best to remain siblings, didn't want to end up like their friends, Cass and BJ lived seperate lives. Cass went on to discover a way to cross realities, and tied a knot with one her lab assitants Leonard. BJ didn't get hitched until he was thirty where he met this lovely lady in the hospital, she was his nurse where he tried this pro wrestling try out were he lost bad. Her name was Natalie and they had two kids named Candy and Raymond.
Their futures were all bright, and nothing was there to ruin it.
Though it was a tough journey for them, they wouldn't have it any other way. So says,
Akira and Lara Zero, Part Time Heroes.
The End
And I am done. This took me way too long to finish up, with more than 10 grand my longest chapter I have ever written in any of my stories. But this is where it all ends, for I am offically retiring from Akira and Lara. It has been nearly one year, and it was a crazy one.
To all those who have faved, followed, and read all of their adventures. I thank thee.
I bid thy audience, ado.
