AN: Yes, Zero is a little trigger happy, he's becoming more of a three
dimensional character, becoming something more than a program with one
goal. He still has some of the cold and heartless parts of Silver Sonic and
a particularly vicious streak about a mile wide. Some of the inspiration
for Zero comes from the Terminator 2 novel trilogy starting with
Infiltrator and the I-950 series cyborg's. Don't worry too much though, he
still has a pretty much blank slate as far as his mind is, things just come
to him also he has some connection to the internet, not much of one, but
enough that he can utilize it. As for his little playtime in Caritas, well,
I remember something about weaponry can be utilized outside of it to attack
the inside and the violence isn't committed by the organic part of Zero,
it's his cybernetic part that handles the fire control situation, meaning
he goes terminator if he gets mad enough and eliminates the threat. He's
the shoot first, shoot second, shoot last, shoot anything that's still
moving and ask a question or two maybe, sort of character.
The cold filled him for an instant, bringing out something buried deep within the core programming of his cybernetic parts; his programming went to a setting that had been implanted in every single one of Robotnik's creations, one designed to aid in rule by terror. His eyes seemed to light up for a moment, burning against the instant darkness before fading back to their normal crimson. The demons didn't know what they had just unleashed upon themselves.
He dropped free, the implanted jets triggered with a deafening whine that tore the air as Zero looked like the angel of death come to kill all who stood in his way. His eyes glowed bright in the dim light, his coloration seeming to make him more dangerous, and the laser bursts he was throwing out, crimson death.
Burning demons cast shadows around him as he surveyed the wreckage caused by Ken when he crash landed with a modified grenade designed between a white phosphorous and an anti personnel one, the blast was not designed to kill, no it was one he had used some of the files he had managed to recover to design, its purpose was to maim and harm, leave them alive but only just.
The place was something that seemed born of nightmares and they did not yet realize that for the demons holding the keys, the destroyer had come, the prisoners saw one come to rescue them. But he was not viewed with light, he was a machine of pure death and destruction, spreading death through the area, moving faster than any human could hope, nor many demons as well.
Zero was a force of nature, awesome and deadly in his element amidst the screams of the demons. He snapped the neck of the first demon to get close to him as he seemed to dance through the fight. His blade hissed through the air as he moved without thought, his mind nearing the zero point, the point where he could sense everything, the one thing he knew that he was designed to be able to do, but never reached before.
That point was the very nature of his fighting ability, but he needed to train his mind before he truly reached it, it was something that was driving him, one of the few things he remembered, he did not know what it truly was, but it was what he knew was necessary for him.
More foes came pouring at him as he touched ground with a smile more fitting on a demon than a being born of the earth. He was a terrifying sight to behold, deadly grace and a warrior's elegance, his eyes showed that fire as dozens fell; he was for that moment death incarnate.
His blade paused in one foe as he released it to spin around in a full three hundred and sixty degree twirl, firing both of the lasers implanted in his palms before snatching the sword back from the throat of the demon he had first struck before it even realized it was cut, its head removed by the retrieval of the blade.
Zero lashed out against the guards in a flip kick that shattered bones, jets triggering as he arced over a dozen more. He landed on a gate, powering up both lasers to full burst mode, hands glowing crimson and cackling with stored energy.
"Death comes for you," he laughed as he fired the twin bursts that ripped through his foes like a hot knife through butter.
The pale blue hedgehog cackled as he moved forwards like an avenging angel.
"Who...who are you?" one of the crippled demons managed to say as he walked amidst the destruction he had caused.
"Me?" he responded with a sadistic smile, "I am Zero, but you will know me as your death."
A snap kick with the metal tipped boot shattered the demons skull.
Then they rushed him, hundreds, more than he could hope to fight at once in his situation, it was at times like this when the machine took over completely, his primary purpose had been defined by the organic half in this situation, his life and limbs were fully under the heartless machine, lethal and wholly without mercy or remorse.
A winged being joined the guardian, he was a dark haired humanoid with ravens wings spread behind him.
"So your chosen was swept away when he changed the order of things," the winged one chuckled, "He had already done it once before, now he left three slayers in the world."
"I see that you have chosen the cyborg to be your representative in the mess that is coming, though he could be considered to be mine as in a way he is the child of my own."
"True, but he is also something else, his mission is different, he is capable of less than your chosen, but at the same time more," the winged one said softly, "His soul is similar to mine, a destroyer."
"Yes, but he also has the potential to be a hero."
"I know, it is what he is to be, a warrior for the light, for freedom."
"You know, Fate and Destiny are already plotting against our chosen ones?"
"Yes, after what yours did, it is inevitable, they are scared, his defeat of Janus was not something they had even considered."
"Wasn't the prophecy stated about two with one blood, the child of chaos chosen by thunder and the living weapon by death, shall lead the world to a new age."
"Yes, they have been watching multiple births for eons, and their work against clones, but then this happens, it makes me glad."
"Our time in this world has left us weary in our time of watching the world go by, I shall almost be glad when it is over."
"Yes, my old friend, the end is near, we only have to keep the others from destroying everything that showed the time where humanity would earn its freedom."
"Your chosen seems to have gotten himself into a mess, hasn't he?"
"Yes, and it is time that I intervened."
"Yes, unlike you I am not bound by the rules of non interference, my orders dealing with Egypt saw to that."
"Have you heard anything about my chosen then?"
"No, his disappearing act as well as eliminating a hell dimension, has several of the others in an uproar, the gate keepers are freaking out especially, and he kind of shattered their control over the gates."
"Even I managed to underestimate his power in that form then, I knew he could destabilize the portal, I did not see him destroying Acaltha or that dimension, nor his scrambling up the gateways."
"You do know that this does make the path easier to follow, he will return eventually, that has the twins in full blown panic mode, they saw him returning even stronger than before."
"And your chosen seems to be concealed from them, a wraith to their visions, they expected a far different path to be walked, and Janus' little pet changed the world, a little bit of chaos can change the world."
"Yes, and its time to throw a little more chaos into the world, Zero is going to have some fun."
"Definitely."
