Chapter note: okay here's where I kinda explain Zack a lot more. Thanks to LilRahl, unmarkedgrave, Megami no Senshi Yami, and light Kira for reviewing. Please continue to review for me.

Chapter 3: Discovering Zack

The young lady was beginning to come to. She could see the figure of a priest and another man leaning over her. She could here them talk, but couldn't understand a word.

" Abel, she's coming around," Zack yelled from across the room. Abel rushed over from the scene where Noah was knocked unconscious. The floor was stained with blood, and the door was destroyed.

" Noah can you hear me," Abel asked her calmly. She nodded and rose to a sitting position.

" What happened?" she asked Father Nightroad.

" A vampire broke in and knocked you unconscious. We killed him and now 2 hours later your finally starting to come through," he told her trying to make it sound as real as possible.

" Who's this," she said pointing to the other man.

" That's Zack the other Crusnik I'm supposed to find," Abel answered, " Why don't you tell us a little about yourself."

"Well," Zack began, " It started in 2118, the year I was born in Albion. They injected the last remnants of Crusnik nanomachines from the Arc into me. I was born Zachariah, but they called me Zack. I was made to aid the humans, but I rebelled and tried to restore unity to the two factions. I had no negative feelings toward either side, but Albion still captured me and charged me with treason against Albion. They knew of my long lifespan and kept me in a cell for 300 years before executing me. I activated my Crusnik form and got away. I traveled to the Empire to get aid from your sister. It took 400 years to finally be able to arrive safely in the Empire. I spent 200 years as a citizen then finally approached the Empress."

" How did you break out of Jail," Noah interrupted.

Flashback

Zack could hear the crowd screaming. Sweat dripped off his face, he was to be put to death Colosseum style in front of hundreds. He was being pushed out into the open stadium by several guardsmen. They then released the Hell hound. Zack could hear the deep breathing of the ferocious beast. A shiver ran down his spine but he regained composure and activated his Crusnik nanomachines.

" Nanomachines Crusnik 05 80% limitation. Activate!"

He burst into his Crusnik form one wing of black and another of white burst from his side. The binds holding him in shattered and as the Hell Hound charged forward, he took to the skies. He was gone, to find shelter within the Empire."

End flashback

" Why did it take so long to arrive in the empire," Noah continued to question.

" Well there was no real safe passage to the empire in a war torn world, I ended up running into a lot of humans and vampires who all wanted me dead," Zack answered.

Flashback

He began to fall to the city of Albion where he saw hundreds fighting with each other. Blood filled the soil and bodies scatted everywhere. He began to pace toward the battlefield, and then the humans turned to see him approaching. They began to fire on him. He used his telekinetic powers to form a force field around him. He automatically inverted to Crusnik form and rushed towards them. He flew towards them and sent a kick flying into one of there faces. He bounced off of the man sending him into the ground and formed the blood sword in his hands, then slashed into another's face. The vampires then got involved rushing at him full force, and by now the shield had dissipated so he was defenseless.

He used a quick jolt of speed to stab one threw the stomach then kick them onto the ground. All he wanted was a quick passage to the Empire, a quick SAFE passage. He saw a soldier from Albion and flew towards him. He took him by his shirt collar and flew into the sky, activating another shield in the process.

He began to question the man, " How can I get from here to the empire without getting killed."

" Ha," Is all the man replied.

" Answer me."

" Your a wanted man you will never be able to live in peace again," He chuckled.

Zack saw the man was no help, but decided to repay the favor of him trying. He got a firm grip on the man and rushed down to Earth at fantastic speeds. He smashed the mans head into the ground, then lifted him to reveal a bloodied up face.

Zack shouted, " If you can talk tell me how to get to the Empire, safely."

He said nothing. Zack told him, " if you aren't going to be of any help than you may as well die."

He put his hand behind his head then brought it to his knee using full strength. He then formed his sword and stuck it through his chest. He then took to the skies, guns again beginning to fire on him.

End Flashback

" As you can see, times were hard on me," Zack started, " then I had to meet the empress, I set up a plan for two hundred years to meet her."

Flashback

It was the blackest night as Zack approached the beautiful palace. He saw the few guards by the back entrance and unnoticed he climbed the nearest tree. He glared down at them like a hawk. He sat until they began to switch with new guards. He slowly fell to the ground and rushed to the shadows nearest the palace doors. As a replacement guard opened the door he lunged at him, going into Crusnik form. He dug his sharp fangs into the pale skin of the Vampire. He began to suck the blood from his neck. When he was clean of blood the Crusnik threw his body into the tree and proceeded into the castle.

Some guards had finally arrived at the post and saw something in the trees. They moved as close to the tree as they could without leaving their post and to their surprise a body fell from the tree. They looked closely at it and realized it was the body of their ally. They rushed to tell Astharoshne Asran. When they told her of what had happened she rushed to tell Baibars. They rush to the side of the Empress nad on the way there see a figure moving in the shadows.

" Come out," Asta shouted.

Zack emerged from the shadows and said, " I just want to speak with the queen."

" Your that Crusnik guy, you were going to kill her," Asta readied the Spear of Gae Bolg.

End note: The Flashback is not over but the chapter was getting long so I decided to end it here and then continue in the next chap.
