Ladyawesome45321: All it takes is that one push... I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. There's so much potential for these characters to break bad on the show itself as well when the opportunity presents itself, and I'd love to see them doing something similar on the show one day (they have magical creatures running around, they should be able to do it). Thanks for reviewing!

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Emira

Leaving the Legends, Zari had decided to return home and overthrow the A.R.G.U.S. regime. She didn't want the Legends' help, but she did thank them for the offer. This needed to be a victory for the people, she proclaimed, and she was going to spark that much-needed revolution a couple of decades before it was supposed to happen. ("And if it does work," she told them, "don't touch it.")

So, she took to the streets and openly, sometimes rather brutally, attacked A.R.G.U.S. forces. Each evening, she would go out of her way to fight some of the men with the power her totem provides and to save the metas that have been captured. Each time, she struck somewhere else, and each time, she struck fear in the hearts of every soldier she came across. She always came at wind still, but often she'd make the wind blow harshly. She kept up this irregular pattern and eventually, she reached her goal - to take down the soldiers' morale by making them uncertain about when they were going to be attacked by this one female meta who controlled the winds.

Her actions brought about a lot of media coverage, as well as the support from civilians on the internet. There was one meta, a boy who could turn invisible, who helped her out once she freed him. After him, more metas started to attack the soldiers in her name, but nobody actually came as close to her as the invisible boy, Juan.

One day, the rule of A.R.G.U.S. ended. As if it was communicated beforehand, (it wasn't) all metas and some non-metas attacked the A.R.G.U.S. base at the same time Zari and Juan ambushed it. The unknown metas had provided the best distraction, and Zari and Juan made their way through the many levels of the base, going straight for the Director of A.R.G.U.S. Juan was a trained fighter and Zari had learned a lot traveling with the Legends, and so they were the perfect fighting duo.

When she stood eye to eye with the Director - the same man who had ordered the execution of her brother - she snapped. Nothing could stop her, not even Juan's pleas and cries. Anyone who came in and witnessed the deed turned and retreated, fearing they would share the same fate as the Director. Zari had directed the air out of his lungs and created a vacuum around his head. She kept that in place until she was certain he would never take another breath again.

Later, Zari would look back in shock at her own actions, but she would still believe it justified, as did the majority of her supporters. The Director had been a cruel tyrant and a meta-human murderer, he had it coming. Juan left her side, and after a democratic election, Zari was elected to fill the gap the Director had left behind. "Emira", some men in from the Arab community called her. Ruler, Emir, in its feminine form. Zari accepted the title and, despite not having the experience, ruled justly.

But power corrupts, especially so when you are wielding a totem of power, and it warps the mind. She grew crueler and crueler as a ruler but was still respectful of the people. She made sure humans and meta-humans lived together in harmony but added laws that would restrict everyone's freedom. So much for equality.

Later in life, when she is established as a dictator and hard to kill, Juan came to her throne room to kill her. His regicide attempt failed, and he was executed on the spot. That was about the same time when the Legends came - Juan just so happened to be an ancestor of someone incredibly important in the 28th century, and he hadn't settled down with anyone yet.

Zari easily defeated them without showing any signs of remorse. She allowed them to live but threatened to kill them if they showed up again. They did, and she kept her promise.

At the time of her death, the title of Emira went to her daughter, and so his matriarchal line continued well to the end of the empire Zari had created, and the history books will describe her as both a savior and a dictator.
