AN: This is it, the closing chapter of Zero Point, once more the action is pretty much over, just an ending. Then it's back to work on Summer Vacation, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for an update on that, but this story just trapped me into writing more and more of it, even other ideas for the same time period. I just happen to like Zero, he's amusing to write. Also at the group, there is an exclusive story up there to enjoy about Janus and Snyder and what's going on with them, if enough people comment on it there, I may put it up here as well.
Zero stood their on the roof of Caritas, he was just watching the city. It was calming to him and well, Lorne forced him out of the bar due to his second fight there, one horned creature pinned to the ceiling by his own horns and spikes, alive, but definitely not in a good mood.
He leaned back against the AC and forced his body to relax. His mind went back to how he felt getting the girl back to her family, something that made him feel happy for some strange reason.
"Are you just going to stand there or are you here for a reason?" he asked as his sensors detected Whistler on the other side of the machine.
The balance demon shrugged and stepped into view.
"You know, I still have no idea how you knew I was there."
"I detected the distortion in the air pressure when you arrived, a simple and automatic sweep of the area located you, then that data was compared to the data in memory, you're the only one that fits that look and power signature."
"Power signature?" the pimp dressed one asked.
"So far every type of creature that I have encountered gives off energy at a slightly different frequency, ergo an identification method for known species, and..." the cyborg responded with a creepily pleased smile, "...One group I think I may have just brought to extinction."
"Yeah, you did, the triplets aren't to happy about that one."
"Triplets?"
"Yeah, Wolf, Ram and Hart, those three seem to get their fun by planning bouts of various disorder, and that little dimension was one of their pet projects, you got it totally destroyed, one of the few mortals to be responsible for the destruction of a dimension."
"Yes, it was most comparable to the feeling of pleasure until the last of them decided that it would be best to set the self destruct system."
"True, you did cause a slaughter, I'm still trying to understand how you did half of what you did, and even my boss says that he underestimated you."
"I don't understand why he would have estimated my abilities in the first place."
"Well, before you became who you are now, he saw what you could do, and then you didn't go into that mindset to kill all of your foes like you did in that pocket dimension."
"That could be considered an new high, I reached the point one of my recovered memory files told me that I was designed to reach, but I do not know why it was as it was."
"That point was not meant for mortals, nor any gods for that matter, anyway, my boss got chewed out by several groups for your little playtime down below, and I have orders to bring you to the Oracles, in other words the twins avatars."
"Twins?"
"Their names are Fate and Destiny, and well... I really don't get near Destiny, but if he's anything like Fate, well lets just say that the saying is one hundred percent correct."
"What saying?"
"Fate's a real bitch."
"She's a female dog?"
Whistler just groaned.
"What?"
"Why do I have the feeling that it's just one of those days?"
"Well, I believe that the first move in LA has been made, but has my knight taken a pawn or something larger?" Azrael asked the guardian.
"Of this I am not sure, the triplets are, as usual, hiding behind layers and layers of deceptions," his friend answered, "What did the twins want with him?"
"Well, they wanted help, someone who would have been important if Janus hadn't decided to mix things up, was dumped into one of the triplets worlds, they want her retrieved, and it was either that or try to take the power back."
"Yes, that wouldn't have ended well, and what allies do the triplets have in this?"
"Not many, and even they are standing back, currently only Lucy is actively helping them and he didn't notice that dimension other than to prepare a place for those from it in their eternal torment."
"So he has a chance then to pull this off, luckily the Gate Watchers and the twins were the only ones to see what happened in that dimension other than us, and the twins have a use for your chosen."
"Lets hope my chosen can survive this test."
