Accident: ZERO

Chapter 1: DiscoveryA mysterious girl named Laura gets transported to a new reality called “Reality Zero”, the home of The Zero Point. It has seeked her out specifically as she has been selected as the chosen one. The one who would put an end to all evil and protect the Zero Point from any wrong doings. Unfortunately for her, she ended up in a highly secure bunker owned by a secret organization. This organization did all kinds of messed up things with her as they used her as their special test subject. One day, she gets thrown into the Zero Point itself and this is where the Zero Point was able to grant Laura the power of the chosen one, allowing her to free herself when the opportunity presented itself. Luckily, Laura did not need to wait too long for that to happen as later that night a mysterious woman opened her prison door, setting her free.From there, Laura was left alone able to explore a whole new world by herself. This is where she noticed that she was stuck in a loop and despite many losing their memories after 22 minutes, she kept hers. And she took advantage of that. Laura was able to free herself from the loop pretty quickly thanks to her new found zero point powers but despite her freedom, she came back simply because she started to enjoy the experience the loop gave her..One day, a strange purple cube appeared, slowly making its way to a location called Loot Lake. While this happened, Laura grew close to the cube and even gave it the nickname, “Kevin”. Originally, this cube was meant to destroy the island itself but it also served a second purpose, finding people to exploit for a faction called The Last Reality.
Kevin the Cube dissolved into the waters of loot lake and came back a few days later. Weeks later, it exploded, leaving many fragments of itself behind. Laura witnessed all of this and decided to retrieve a piece of the Cube, using it as a part of her first self made weapon, a scythe called “The Darkstrike Scythe”. Little does Laura know that this was all planned out by The Last Reality in an attempt to corrupt her and add her to their rankings. The progress was slow, but it worked.Later on, Laura encounters the mysterious woman again. This woman turns out to be someone called Demi, an ex-member of the mysterious organization. At first, Laura does not remember who Demi is. Because of that, they started fighting. Demi did not want to hurt Laura so she stayed as passive as possible, dodging many attacks. Unfortunately for Demi, she made one misstep, allowing Laura to cut her right arm off with her scythe. Falling to her knees, Demi said something which made Laura burst out of tears, finally realizing who Demi is. She felt an enormous amount of guilt which gave Demi the upperhand to end the fight peacefully. Laura finally accepted Demi as her mother.Some time passed and Demi was safely able to conclude that something was off with Laura. Her behavior did not match up with what it was some time ago and her health has heavily declined ever since The Final Showdown happened between a big mech and a monster from the Ocean. Demi went to a new ally/old foe called The Scientist to ask for further assistants and together they were able to conclude that Laura was corrupted by the Cube somehow. Luckily for them, The Scientist had a perfect solution to solve the issue! A special purifier bracelet designed to purify anyone who wears it but also enhancing their abilities. With this bracelet, Laura would not only be cured from her corruption but also be turned into the best version of herself as The Chosen One. Only issue is, they do not have the parts they need to make this. At this time, The Scientist also told Demi about their plans to reset the Zero Point. Not only would this heal the broken Zero Point, but it would also cure Laura most likely as her health seems to be connected to the Zero Point itself.
A group called The Seven reset the Zero Point. And because of this, Laura entered a deep coma she didn’t wake up from for a very long time.Chapter 2: Hunting GroundsA few months to a year have passed and Laura finally woke up again, only to be right back into bad shape because of The Zero Point being back in a bad state. While Laura was knocked out, Demi worked as a special agent for a man called Midas. She took care of special missions for Midas in exchange for resources to hunt down the parts needed for the purifier bracelet. Demi was overjoyed about Laura’s awakening. The timing was perfect, now Laura and Demi could hunt for the parts needed together. Unfortunately for them, because of the current state of the Zero Point, the mysterious organization, also known as The Imagined Order have instructed their Elite Guard to hunt down anyone trying to mess with The Zero Point. The team consists of Sakuya the combat expert, Jade the Scientist, and their leader Orion the Hunter. They are a force to be reckoned with.
On a usual patrol, they spotted Laura and Demi. And so, the hunter has found its new prey. From that day forward, Laura and Demi were hunted by Orion and Sakuya, while Jade was working on different projects in the background.In the short span of time where the Elite Guard hunted down the duo, Demi and Sakuya started to develop some kind of rivalry between each other. This rivalry however has always been present as Demi and Sakuya were sisters, always trying to one up each other. Orion however was more focused on something else, or rather, SOMEONE else. His focus was mainly on defeating Laura and getting her back to their base so they can continue with their plans. Luckily enough, with the help of Demi, Laura was able to remain free from Orion’s grasp. And together they were able to collect one out of two parts needed for the purifier bracelet, that being the metal for the frame.Some time passes and the island gets invaded by Aliens. These aliens are here with 1 goal in mind, taking the Zero Point for themselves. This meant that the Imagined Order, including the Elite Guard, was rather busy protecting the Zero Point instead of hunting down Laura and Demi. This meant that they were finally able to freely move again. These aliens were rather hostile against anyone they encountered. But oddly enough, they seem to never be aggressive towards Laura specifically.
Demi remembered the last part needed for the purifier bracelet, that being an energy containment unit. And with a mothership above the island itself, Demi thinks they could find the part inside it. So they made a plan to get the final part and finally free Laura from her corruption. Unknown to them though, the duo walked right into the Last Reality’s trap. Once Laura entered the mothership she got captured while Demi got thrown out, witnessing it explode, she saw a lot of new purple cubes falling down onto the island.Chapter 2.5: Darkness RisesA week has passed and the Last Reality has invaded the island with a new weapon on their side, a dark version of Laura. Demi knows she has to put a stop to this, or at least get Laura back to safety, so she kept searching for the final part needed for the purifier bracelet until she found it. When Demi found the energy containment unit in some rubble from the mothership, she assembled the purifier bracelet and prepared to confront Laura. Once Demi and Laura got face to face they started fighting, just like they did two years ago. The fight at first seemed pretty one sided but Demi noticed one big flaw, Laura’s lack of emotion, it was a weakness ready to be exploited. In the end, the purifier bracelet was not needed as Demi was able to free Laura from her corruption by simply showing the one thing she truly desired. True love. This, however, was not the end of their fight as The Cube Queen herself came to deal with her failure.In the end, Laura and Demi were not able to defeat the Cube Queen nor the IO’s Elite Guard, but at least they were together now. And that is what mattered to them the most in that moment.To be Continued...

Zero War

After the events of the previous story, Demi and Laura find themselves in a near-death situation where they are almost drowning in the vast ocean surrounding the island, witnessing it flip around for reasons unknown to them. Lucky for them, they end up getting rescued by some old acquaintances, The Seven. This group wants to free the Zero Point from the Imagined Order’s grasp and they want Demi and Laura to help them out. Laura however is hesitant to join in as they were the reason for her being knocked out for two years. She reluctantly agrees since they do share a common goal and enemy. Demi at first faces some suspicion as she was part of the IO Elite Guard before, but she easily proved herself to be a valuable ally that can be trusted.The Imagined Order launches a full-scale invasion of the island, starting an all-out war with The Seven. Demi and Laura, allied with The Seven, now called the Resistance, prepare for a final stand to defend the island, end the IO's reign, and free the Zero Point.The battle is fierce, but the Resistance is able to fight back, reclaiming much of the territory. Despite their effort, the IO is not done fighting and decides it’s time to call upon their Elite Guard, sending them into battle. They prove to be a force to be reckoned with. When The Seven make a plan to retake Tilted Towers, they ask Laura to lead the charge. She succeeds at retaking Tilted Towers from the IO, until she comes into contact with The Elite Guard. Laura is now up against Sakuya and Orion, and after a brutal battle, she ends up getting captured.As the Imagined Order find themselves losing the war, they create a final plan to defeat The Resistance once and for all, a doomsday device called “The Collider”. This device was capable of destroying The island and anything around it. Jade, The Elite Guard’s scientist, built this device and planned on using Laura as its energy source in an attempt to take advantage of her connection to the Zero Point. Laura endures brutal torture, comparable to what she received a few years ago, as Jade tries to extract said power that’s within her.Upon learning of Laura’s captivity, Demi requests a rescue mission, but The Seven refuse, focused on other matters. Frustrated, Demi takes it upon herself to save Laura. Using her skills as a former spy and Elite Guard member, Demi is able to infiltrate Covert Cavern, the IO’s primary base. There, she not only uncovers information about The Collider but also finds Laura’s location. However, Demi falls into a trap laid by her sister, Sakuya. Demi is hesitant to fight back against her sister at first, but she has no choice.Their fight is intense but they eventually end up in Jade’s lab, where Laura is held. In the chaos, Demi accidentally uses a mysterious device and hits Laura with it, which causes Laura to fuse with her, creating a new entity named "Lori."Lori, a fusion of Demi’s agility and Laura’s strength, fights her way through the IO guards standing in their way. Their escape was successful until they encountered Orion. With one swift stroke, Orion is able to defeat Lori, causing Demi and Laura to de-fuse. They are exhausted and are no match for him in their current state. Orion then made the decision to kill Laura, as he no longer has a need for her, leaving Demi devastated and enraged. Demi tries to put up a good fight, but she’s sadly unable to do anything major as she’s too weak now. Orion left Demi alone, for now, claiming her day would come later as he wasn’t done with a traitor like her. With Laura’s body reduced to a shard of energy, Demi returns to The Resistance, informing The Seven of the IO’s final plan.(Insert Zero War comic series & the “Collision” live event here for further context)The Resistance ultimately wins the war, but for Demi, the victory feels hollow. They may have saved the island, but at what cost? This was not what she wanted, as she wished for Laura to be there with her, finally free from the torture she went through as a child. Demi eventually kept her distance from everyone else she desperately tried to find a way to bring back Laura with no hope in sight.To be Continued...

The Fate of Existence

Written by: ChillinCheeto14

As the sky fades from a reddish color to dark grey, this signifies that the end is near. All of humanity has been wiped out, and the last remaining heroes who were seen as the last hope, are gone. The cubes of existence have successfully synchronized, killing everyone in the process. Demise thought she had success, but somehow, only one remains in the entire world. Her name is Laura, and she is the only survivor to survive this ongoing calamity. She stands at the center of various destroyed roads, between collapsed buildings, in the middle of a soon-to-be-destroyed planet.Massive amounts of blood flood the streets, gradually evaporating away. The 4L Spyder Units continue roaming across Earth, crushing everything everywhere until all remains flattened to nothingness. Seeing everything filled with pure chaos and destruction, Laura can't handle it anymore. Seeing her friends gradually vanish and die in front of her eyes helplessly is the last thing she wants to experience in this war. She has lost so many loved ones in the past already. Tears begin sliding down her face.She fails to contain her anger and dashes towards Demise. Her anger reawakens her Zero Point abilities once more. As she runs, Laura transforms into her Breaking Point form. Her wings open wide, as she jumps and soars high, diving back down at a high speed, aiming at Demise. But Demise already sees this attack incoming, and unleashes her blades once again. She swings her blades at a very high speed. Both Laura and Demise miss their attacks. After Laura lands, she swiftly turns around and sees Demise gone. 0.1 seconds later, Demise charges at very high speeds behind Laura and aims for a full slice across her torso. Laura dodges in time and counterattacks with a strong kick. Demise blocks the kick with her left blade, and tries to counterattack by utilizing her right blade to slice Laura’s face. Laura falls back and succeeds landing various impactful punches, damaging Demise's face instead.The punching, slashing, and clashing continue at an unfathomable speed. Laura then utilizes her Cosmic Space ability, increasing her speed as an advantage. She generates rifts, using them to teleport around Demise, and continuously land attacks. Demise, on the other hand, reads every attack and blocks/dodges every single one. Demise rapidly learns that Laura cannot be hit, as her infinite space makes her immune to any attack. Demise then swiftly jumps in one of those rifts, takes her blades out again, and blocks Laura with them, causing an explosive impact causing them both to crash back onto the ground a couple of feet away. Feeling concerned, Laura gets up and utilizes her time-out ability, stopping time completely. As Demise and everything else freezes, Laura takes less than a second to look around and analyze her surroundings. She sees various cars destroyed at the side of what was once used to be a road. Less than a second later, they were suddenly closer to her, but they all weren't moving. Laura then feels an intense pain in her back and her face. It turns out Demise kicked Laura so hard while she looked away for that fraction of a second, that she crashed into those cars without any proper reaction time.Demise utilized her beyond-time ability, which allows her to sense and reject time-stopping abilities, and faked being affected by the time-out ability. Laura then begins to question who Demise is, how Demise successfully synchronized both abilities and how they were negated. Before she could even think about that, she gets ambushed and begins to trade off attacks at even faster, unfathomable speeds. This seems to never end. Demise somehow manages to grab onto Laura, and lands a very powerful punch against her as she goes straight into the ground, shaking everything nearby and creating a massive divot. Laura stands back up and blocks a second impact. Laura quickly flees and flies around and around at very high speeds, surrounding Demise inside a smoke vortex above the crater. Blinding the surrounding area, Laura finds the perfect chance and flies in, stabbing Demise's left blade, and leaving behind some Zero Point energy, corrupting the blade bit by bit. Demise acts very quickly, and does the unthinkable. Demise quickly absorbs the Zero Point energy left on her wounded blade, and regenerates it as if nothing ever happened.
Demise orders one of the colossal 4L Spyder Units miles away to aim at Laura. The unit quickly turns its head, aims at Laura, and quickly charges its chaos beam, now able to detect and track Zero Point energy due to a mysterious weaponry data transfer. Laura was left stunned, as the colossal being was able to move quickly despite being massive in size. Right before it fires, the unit explodes and begins to collapse. The explosion was so big, that Laura and Demise got launched backward at very high speeds, making them both unable to move for a few seconds. After the massive explosion, Demise was unable to connect or command any 4L Spyder Units across the globe. Distraught, Demise ponders how this could've happened. Those machines were unkillable. Unless something or someone could've known how to defeat them...Laura takes this critical opportunity and snaps and crumbles Demise's left blade which angers her even more. She has gotten a bit weaker, however, Demise swiftly swings at Laura using her other blade, refocusing most of her focus and strength into that remaining blade, landing a 100% guaranteed direct hit. Laura got extremely lucky and caught her attack with her legs. Unfortunately, Laura gets stuck with the blade, which begins to carve through her armor. Demise spins at ultra-high speeds, and launches Laura with immense force, sending her flying far away at very high speeds. Laura collides and goes through countless buildings, injuring her severely. A mass amount of rocks and debris fell on top of her, completely covering her. The amount of pain she's bearing from the countless impacts is immense, but she must keep up
with this fight.If Laura fails to fight on, all of existence will be jeopardized. She must defend the whole omniverse. Demise is a grave danger to the omniverse, to everything... This situation is more important than ever before. The Guardian of Reality must find a way to defeat The Hatred of all Existence. Laura then lifts the heavy debris out of her way and sees the dark grey sky again. Determined, she soars very high into the sky, trying to locate where Demise is.After locating Demise, Laura recovers quickly and begins to overcharge Zero Point energy, more than she has ever before in her lifetime. Due to absolutely zero limitations, Laura continuously collects even more ZP energy and begins to align her position high up in the sky. Whenever she's ready, she'll be able to land one of the biggest impacts against Demise, hoping for the best outcome in the end. Right before she charges at full speed, Laura suddenly sees something big fly past her left at an extremely rapid speed. She uses her time-out ability again to go back in time to see what it was. This time, Laura can see Hush, looking WAY more powerful than ever, with an unusual bracelet on her right arm. As Hush dives towards Demise’s location, Laura gets pushed far away from the unrecognizable, divine power. Two seconds later, a huge impact can be seen and heard, as everything lights up VERY brightly, making it almost impossible to see. An explosion can be seen a few seconds later, and it is marvelous. Laura was in awe seeing the explosion from afar... she had never seen something like this before. The impact was so immense, that Laura and other debris were sent flying with a powerful force MILES away. The explosion continued to expand, which ended up surrounding the whole planet. Laura couldn't see anything, as everything began to emit white. She had to close her eyes. Her body was floating high in the white sky, feeling at peace, peace she had never felt before...


After Laura opened her eyes many minutes later, the sky was a sunset. The air was cleaner, and visibility returned to healthy levels. Laura is lying on the ground, looking up at the beautiful sky. She smiles and begins to laugh in happiness and continues to rest for a little while. She turns back into her combat attire and gets up to look around. Debris can be seen everywhere, lands and mountains have shifted as well. Everything has never looked so peaceful. After walking up a hill, Laura finds Hush sitting on the ground, pondering while looking at the decapitated head of Demise. Laura looks closer and begins questioning how and why Hush and Demise look extremely similar. Was Demise a failed experiment, did Hush become Demise... how and why was Demise created?? Laura decides to hold those thoughts for later and walks toward Hush. Hush then notices Laura walking up to her, and they both run towards each other and hug.
Tears ran down both their faces...Suddenly, the bracelet on Hush's right arm begins acting up, causing some weird energy to burst out and escape. Hush and Laura get pushed back by a great distance, as the unknown energy begins to swing around. Hush tries to control it with her arm, but the energy is far too powerful to control at this point. What is happening? Is this power controlling itself, or by whom? However, Hush couldn’t believe her eyes as she began to see everyone who had fallen during battle come back to life. She breathes in relief, can’t hold her tears anymore, and rushes to hug everyone who has returned. Laura ran back and couldn’t believe her eyes either. Hush talks to everyone and after a few minutes, she decides to walk away to see how the world has succumbed and survived the calamity. Everyone else follows Hush as they too wish to join her. Laura walks beside Hush and notices something over the distance. She can see an unknown girl standing and looking at something. Laura rushes towards her but then she suddenly disappears. Right before she disappeared, Laura managed to get a small glance at the bracelet in her arm, and how it looked very similar to the one Hush was wearing minutes before, before it disappeared too. Who is this mysterious girl, and why was she here? What are the power’s limitations? Was she the one who lent Hush that immense divine power, and why? Laura decides to hold these questions for now as well, since she knows she’ll expect to get the answers at some point in
the future, in some way or another.Several months later, Laura arrives in a helicopter at the top of a building where Hush is standing. Hush turns back and is happy to see Laura once again. As Laura steps out of the helicopter, Hush invites Laura to cherish a magnificent view of the new city being built over the distance. They begin talking and laughing, reminiscing old memories and how Laura played an important role during recent crucial times. After a while, Laura stares at the new future city one more time and invites Hush to go along with her in the helicopter. As they lift off, Laura tells Hush that she was able to set up a small dinner hangout with Mackenzie, to talk things over and enjoy some nice food. This news excites Hush, knowing things will get better in the long run. Laura also tells Hush that she is a brave, young individual and that everyone will forever cherish and appreciate her bravery. Those words made Hush let some tears out. They both understand that even though the future can change based on even the smallest and most complex events, everything has an answer, as nothing is ever meant to be perfect.


THE END, for now.
