Chapter 3:

(So, I just learned that Snake has a first name on the Heroes Wiki(I have had zero clue)so, I guess there's no need for Snake to have an original first name. Anyways, this takes place around the beginning of the movie from Zeke's perspective! Enjoy the chapter! :D)

Zeke's been living with The Bad Guys for at least 7 years. His birthday was at least a few months ago, turning 9. Needless to say, some of that hyperactivity had followed him. Although, he was remarkably calmer these days. Zeke had his "teenager" outfit on. His teen-outfit basically looking like some sorta nerdy-punk. He wore a red/black long sleeve, with a crystalized crescent shaped moon, blue and purple. He wore blue denim jeans and black converse. So, if it weren't for his youthful voice, many would mistake him for a teenager by his looks and his slight-mature attitude. He was at a store near home, looking for something.

"Hmmm…What should I get him?" It was Mr. Snake's birthday, so while his dad took him and the others out for a heist, Zeke looked for something to get his uncle.

"Yoooo…these characters look so cool!" Zeke said, turning his attention to some video game cover art.

The rabbit was easily distracted by things involving anime, art and video games. The rabbit is an avid fan of Kpop, as well.

"O-Oh right, I need to find something? What should I get Uncle Hubert? Pin for his hat? No…" He looked around and tried to find something. "Let's see…Uh…well, I know he can play guitar. Oh, wait a sec!" Zeke immediately came to his answer and headed to the phone accessory section.

As he was walking home, his present to his uncle gift wrapped, the roaring speed of an engine showed up behind him and a voice called out. "Zekey!" It was his dad's voice, he turned around and saw that the car behind him.

Oh no! Dang it, Dad, he thought. He wanted the present to be a surprise to Snake. Wolf looked and saw the gift. "Is that…?" Wolf had asked, proud that his son got a present.

All Snake did was glare in annoyance. "Seriously, kid?" He asked, less than enthused. Zeke glared at his dad for a moment. "It was supposed to be a surprise, Dad!" He said. To which shrank back with a "My bad" look.

"Hey, kiddo!" Shark welcomed his nephew, patting his head. Webs gave Zeke a look of approval.

"You did good to get a present, Zekey." She said before glaring at Piranha; "Unlike SOMEONE we know." Piranha looked upset at that. "Thanks for covering for me, chamaco." He whispered, Zeke giving him a thumbs up. The Bad Guys had finished up the birthday heist, now to the birthday party.

"Oh yeah, this is Zeke. He's not a member, but he's been trained in the art of pickpocketing. He's also my son. He's my pride and joy." Wolf said out of nowhere, and looked at his son lovingly.

"Dad, you're not doing that weird narrating thing again, are you?" Zeke asked, always finding him weird when he does that.

They settled down in their hideout, a cake ready to sing Snake happy birthday. "Alright Piranha, you're up." Wolf said, as Piranha began to harmonize. "Oooooooo~" He took a deep breath before starting to sing.

"Happy birthda—" Snake blew out the candles, before Piranha had a chance to sing. The all voiced their disappointment until Wolf spoke up. "Snake, come on. At least make a toast." Snake just rolled his eyes and agreed;

"Fine. I've made a lot of enemies and I mean A LOT." He said, "But out of all of them. I hate you guys the least." The others let out an "Aww."

"That was kinda beautiful." Piranha said, "You're a poet, man." Shark complimented. Wolf chimed in,

"To Mr. Snake, and his strange dislike for birthdays." They raised their glasses, while Zeke went and put his present for Snake to open.

"What's it this time, Zeke?" He used his tail to point at his hat, "I'm good on pins, remember?" He said with a dry smile.

"Figured you could use this, since everything else annoys you, Uncle Hubert." He said. Snake opened up his present;it was revealed to be a set of ear buds. "Heh. Thanks, kiddo." He thanked the rabbit. "No prob, bob." He exclaimed.

Wolf pulled out his camera and held it up, "Okay, everyone say 'robbery'!" He said in a singsongy way, everyone except Snake said "robbery."

"Okay, dig in, fellas." Snake said, with Piranha immediately went for the cake wildly, with Webs yelling at him.

Zeke immediately went and sat on the couch, putting on some earbuds of his own and pulling out a sketchbook.

Snake put the photo on the fridge and smiled to himself. He opened the freezer door and pulled out a push-pop from a box. Weird, wasn't there only one left? He thought, he slithered back to his chair.

"Oooh, I forgot we had those push pops. Man, my tummy is rumbling like a kraken right now!" Shark said.

Snake smirked at this trick, "Yeah, want it?" Webs rolled her eyes, "You KNOW he's not gonna give it to you." She said, as if she'd rehearsed it.

Shark denied that, "No way. I believe that deep down, Snake is a kind a generous soul."

Webs only asked "Why?" Snake put it out for Shark to take, but immediately pulled back and ate the push-pop himself. "Haha, sucker!" He said, Shark was upset.

"Aww man, now you gon' make me all aggressive." Shark said, before trying to attack Shark.

Zeke immediately saw and shouted, "Uncle Lou, I bought extra. Chill out." At that moment, Shark let go of Snake and opened the freezer. "Oh, you're a life-saver, Zekey!" He said, thanking him. Zeke smiled and then went to his room.

(In his room)

"Imma go find love, baby. You gon' finna catch me." Zeke was singing lyrics to one of his songs, working on a drawing. Coloring the character's eyes with green. He heard his family yell from outside his room. He figured they got into another fight. Still, why they just get along? He thought, "Hmm…Okay, almost done drawing Aerith." Moments later, there was a knock on his door. "Kiddo, can I come in?" It was his dad, "Yeah, Dad." He answered and let Wolf in through the door. He patted his head, "Hey, we're gonna go out on another heist." Wolf said.

Zeke looked at him, "Why? Isn't that a little too risky?" He asked.

Wolf put on his fedora, "Well, our new madame governor decided to talk smack about us." Zeke stiffened at this. Dad's doing this to prove a point?, he thought, "Sorry about that, G." His trademark response to these types of ordeals. "Anyway, I figured since we're going to the art museum, would you wanna come with?" He asked, at that moment, Zeke lit up.

"That'd be cool. Just…look, be careful, okay?" Wolf chuckled at his son's concerns, "We'll be fine, kiddo." He then diverted his attention to the drawing.

"So, who's this one? What's her name…Uh…" Wolf struggled to remember the name. "Her name's Aerith, she's the flower girl. And lemme tell ya, she's funny for being so teasing." Zeke started nerding out. "Heh, sounds like a gal." Wolf said.

"I'll go put formal-ish on, I guess." Zeke said, not really liking fancy outfits. "Okay, I'll leave ya to it. But first…" Wolf kissed his forehead. Zeke only sighed, not really liking when his dad treated him like a baby, still. "Dad, I'm 9 years old." He said. Wolf just smiled at him and pat his head. "Nah, you're still my precious baby-bunny." He said cheerfully, trying to now tickle him. Zeke fought fiercely against his father's tickling. "DAD!" Zeke said, before laughing. "What? You used to love it when I tickled you." Wolf said, which only annoyed Zeke, "Okay, okay!" He said trying to get the words in.

(So, that took a while. Also, I tried to take the advice from the post CocoaBeanie144 said on how to write it. I hope I did a good job on it. So, this is the Zeke I wanted to write as a character. I hope you'll like him, and remember: Stay strong and awesome! God is real and He loves you most!)
