Zero and Jason were both in front of a door. The blonde of the two was looking at the door and nocked on it. "We're coming," Leone's voice said through the door. The two then opened the door and saw a casually dressed Mine and Leone.

"Nothing to fancy I hope," Leone said looking at the two of them.

"Not at all," Zero said looking at them.

"Well?" Leone questioned looking at them.

"Well?" Jason asked looking at the female slightly confused.

"Aren't you going to offer us your arm?" Leone asked looking at them. Jason blushed when he heard this but Zero looked a little confused.

"Is that something someone would usually do on a date?" Zero asked looking at her. Leone nodded and Jason held out his arm feeling his face heat up. Zero shrugged and mimicked his action. When he did Zero saw Mine blush as she took his arm.

"Well were are we going?" Mine asked looking at Zero.

"Well first we're going to a new ice cream place that opened up then I thought about that public play that they're doing. After that to finish the day I was thinking a nice walk through the forest would be nice," Zero said looking at the pink haired female in front of him.

"Alright so when do we split up?" Leone asked looking at the blonde male.

"You two can leave any time you want I personally don't care," Zero said looking at the two beside him.

"So after the ice cream?" Jason asked looking at the blonde female beside him.

"Sounds nice," Leone said looking at the male in front of her. The four of them continued until they got to a store and walked inside. When they did the four went to go sit down and looked at each other.

If they had been paying more attention instead of just looking at each other they would have noticed that outside of the window there was a male with white hair and two different color eyes looking at them.

"Well seems like I'm the first to find them," Silver said looking at them. He then walked into a nearby alleyway and looked at them. "I guess I could wait for them to leave then make my move," Silver said as he waited outside of the building.

Once they left he noticed that Zero and Jason went in two different directions with two different girls. Silver found himself having to make a choice. He had to chose between Zero and Jason.

He looked at the two of them and picked the one that he thought he was most likely to beat. So he started following Jason and the blonde he was with.

The two took a long walk through the woods. When they were alone Leone became much more playful with Jason. Which included slightly biting his ear, nibbling on his neck, as well as other things.

Since Jason also had a animal imperial arm he knew was she was doing. He'd have to be some type idiot not to see. She was marking him leaving her scent on him so that others knew that someone else already claimed him.

In response Jason repeated several of her actions. When she wasn't looking he'd give her a surprise hug. It may not have been discreet but it was the best way for him to rub his scent off on her.
The two were walking until Leone grabbed ahold of Jason's hand and looked at him. "You know that public play that Zero and Mine were supposed to be at should be over and getting ready to start it's second round soon," Leone said looking at Jason.

"You want to go watch it?" Jason asked looking at the blonde female in front of him.

"Yeah that sounds like a good idea," Leone said as she and Jason walked to the park. When they left they saw a large crowd and decided to walk towards it. When they did they saw Mine and Zero walking out and the four approached each other.

"So how was it?" Jason asked looking at them.

"It was pretty boring," Mine said looking at them.

"It was okay I guess," Zero said looking at them. As soon as he said this a sword landed in the middle of the four of them. The four jumped back and looked where the sword had come from.

They all looked at a tree and when they did a white haired male came out of the tree. When he landed on the ground the sword disappeared and the male looked at them.

"I thought I would have been able to even the odds if I had killed one of you," Silver said looking at them.

Mine was at a clear disadvantage because she didn't bring pumpkin with her. Leaving only the three of them to fight Silver. However Zero wasn't comfortable with the idea of Mine leaving by herself.

"Leone take Mine and leave," Zero said looking at the female.

"What? No way! You two can't take this guy on by yourself what if he brought company?!" Leone said looking.

"He didn't that's not something Silver would do," Jason said looking at them.

"What? How can you be sure?" Leone asked looking at them.

"We know because we worked together and he did have the title of friend once," Zero said looking at them.

"Well can you beat him?" Mine asked looking at the two.

"It's two on one I think we'll manage," Zero said looking at her. Mine looked like she was about to say something until Jason cut her off.

"Guess this date's ruined . . . looks like we'll have to go on another one when we get back. Although I'm think that it should just be me and Leone and just you and Mine," Jason said looking at the Zero.

"Yeah this double date didn't go as planned so a regular date would be nice," Zero said looking at Jason. This caused Mine to stop talking and blush slightly.

"Okay fine we'll leave but you better take me on a proper date next time," Mine said looking at Zero.

"I look forward to it," Zero said looking at Mine. The pink haired female smiled as she and Leone walked away.

"Let's take this somewhere else," Jason said looking around. Silver nodded and the three of them began to walk somewhere else. They walked out of the city and into a open field.

When they stopped Silver grabbed his sword and one appeared in his other hand and five swords also appeared above his head. Silver watched as the males changed slightly.

Jason grew two large red wings and his claws grew larger and turned black. His arms also turned red and broke out into scales. Zero's changes weren't as drastic but we're there. The eyes that were on his hands turned red and lines started to make their way up his arm.

"You ready?" Zero asked Jason however his eyes were focused on Silver.

Jason looked at a watch that he had and set it to ten minutes. When he did it started to count backwards and Jason looked at Zero. "I'm ready now," Jason said looking at him.

The two dashed forward and Silver readied himself when he did the two appeared in front of him and Silver used his swords to stop the on coming attack from both sides. However they easily overpowered Silver and sent him back.

Silver was sent through the air however as he was flying through the air two swords raced past him and alined themselves with his feet. They slowed him down and brought him to a stop before taking him towards his opponents.

Silver saw a shadow heading towards him and looked up to see Jason flying towards him. Silver jumped to the side two swords appearing under his feet to replace the ones he just jumped off of.

Jason landed on the ground creating a small crater. However seeing that Silver was close ice encased his hands and formed sharp claws and Jason ran at him.

Silver put up several swords to stop him however when he did Jason managed to move the swords down so that Silver and him where face to face.

The swords where able to hold him back however silver saw something that made him a little worried. Jason's throat turned a bright red color. Silver bent backwards only to avoid a large of flames that shot of Jason's mouth.

Jason jumped back seeing this and Silver straightened himself only to see Zero just a few feet from his face. He summoned a sword and stabbed Zero in the shoulder hoping that would stop the attack however it didn't and Zero's fist made contact sending the male flying back.

Silver managed to right himself and looked at the two in front of him. When he did he sighed and suddenly summoned several swords. It looked as if there were twenty or thirty swords floating behind him.

Each of them suddenly went forward half being aimed at Jason and the other half being aimed at Zero. The two tried their best to defend however the swords would get past them and every so often would cut a different part of their body.

Jason had no problem with getting hit after all they weren't very deep and his regeneration factor took care of most of the pain for him.

Zero on the other hand didn't have a regeneration factor so every time he was cut he felt a sharp pain wherever he had just been cut which slowed him down allowing for even more cuts.

However the two of them suddenly found themselves back to back and all the swords flying towards them at once. They thought it was over until some then stings formed a dome around them.

When they looked to the side they saw Lubbock and Mine standing there. Mine fired a shot at Silver which he dodged. The two walked over to there friends.

"Mine what are you doing here?" Zero asked looking at the female.

"Well I couldn't just let the two of you fight him by yourself. So when me and Leone got home I got some help," Mine said looking at them.

"Glad you did we were almost turned into a pincushion," Jason said looking at Mine.

"Geez the two of you really are helpless without the rest of u-" Mine was suddenly cut of as a sword cut across her stomach. More where coming until Jason and Zero and stopped them.

Zero however looked back and Mine then at Jason. The male nodded and he ran over to Mine. "Mine are you okay?" Zero asked looking at the the pink haired female.

"Y-yeah I-I th-think I-I can m-make it," Mine said as she tried to sit up. When she did Lubbock kneeled down beside her and got some of his strings.

"Let's close that wound," Lubbock said as he looked at Zero. However he saw something a little unsettling. A Vain popped out on his forehead and every so often it would turn black.

Jason turned around and ran towards them. "How is she?" Jason asked still keeping an eye on Silver he learned not to take an off of him. He wasn't going to make the same mistake twice.

"She should be alright but I'm not so sure about Zero," Lubbock said looking at the blonde in front of him. Apart from the blood vain that appeared on his head Zero now had several vains on his arm and hand that also stood out and like the one on his head every so often they would turn black.

"Why what's wrong with Zer-" Jason began only to stop when he saw Zero. Apart from the blood Vains popping out something else was also happening which caused Lubbock to worry even more.

Shadows with a blood red outline had started to leak from several different parts of his body. From his eyes, mouth, and forearms Lubbock then watched as smile crossed Zero's face.

Jason's eyes widened when he saw this and he looked at his watch. The time it showed was 5:32 and it kept counting down. 'This doesn't make sense. We still have a full five minutes before this was supposed to happen. So why is it happening early?' Jason thought as he looked at Mine.

That's when it hit him 'That's it! Silver attacking Mine must have somehow sped up the process, which means his first and only objective is going to be Silver,' Jason thought looking at the white haired male.

When he did he noticed something rather odd. When they were friends Silver was always the quite loner who never really said much. He almost never laughed unless someone was really presistant about getting him to laugh. He was always calm and collected when it came to what he did he never showed any other emotion.

But now he looked nervous and Jason knew why. If he had to fight this Zero he'd be nervous to. "G-g-go ahead Zero w-we'll be s-sure to t-take c-care of Mine," Jason said looking at him.

"Heheheheh thanks me and Silver are going to have some fun," Zero said as he got up off the ground.

"What's wrong with Zero?" Lubbock asked knowing that something was wrong he may have only knew the two of them for a month but Jason was never nervous around Zero.

"It's a second draw back of his trump card. It must have just activated otherwise he would have been like this as soon as Mine was attacked," Jason said looking at him.

"Please explain," Lubbock said looking at Jason.

"Well Zero's imperial arm works but taking every act of evil he's ever committed and turns it into power for him to use. Every lie, every kill, every theft, it all get's turned into power. His trump card takes it a step further and takes the evil out of living thing. Humans, animals, danger beast, it even goes as far to drain the evil from plants. Making him literally thousands of times stronger than before," Jason said looking at him.

"I see now where does this part come into play?" Lubbock asked looking at the male in front of him.

"Well it only takes effect in his trumo card he's made the decisions that give him his regular power however his Trump card forces the sins and evil of others on him. Something he didn't have a part in. So it slowly corrupts him over a ten minute period. However it seems like an outside trigger like what just happened with Mine can also speed up the process," Jason said looking at Mine.

"Think we should help him?" Lubbock asked getting his strings ready.

"NO! Trust me if there's one thing you don't want to do it's stand in that Zero's way. He's not as nice as the other Zero," Jason said looking at him.

"You ready?" Zero asked looking at Silver. The white haired male didn't say anything and sent several swords towards him. Zero smiled at this and ran towards the swords.

Silver watched as several swords pierced through several locations of Zero's body. However Zero's smile never faded and he continued to run towards Silver.

When he got close enough to finally hit Silver the white haired male jumped back onto two swords that were behind him. He hovered in the air above the blonde male.

'I sent seven swords through him how is he not dead yet? Not only that but he's smiling is he getting pleasure out of his own pain?' Silver mentally asked himself.

He had heard from Jason that this Zero was completely different from the regular Zero but from what he's seeing right now they weren't just different they were polar opposites.

"What's the matter? Got not more tricks up your sleeve. Can't send more swords towards me? Not going to aim for my eyes or cut my tounge off? You know you're taking some of the fun out of this," Zero said looking at Silver.

Silver looked like he was going to say something but stopped when Zero jumped into the air. He would have jumped back be it caught him off guard and in his surprised state by the time he had processed what was happening he had no time to react.

So Zero had grabbed him by the face and and threw him towards the ground. When he did it created a crater and Zero landed beside Silver slamming his foot into his head.

"Where do you think you're going? The fun's just started! Don't tell me you're bored already I'm sure I could find a way to entertain you," Zero said as he looked at Silver.

He then grabbed Silver by his head and pulled him up off the ground. "I'm sorry Silver I've failed to entertain you're not having as much fun as me maybe I shoul-" Zero began only for a sword to come flying towards him.

Silver smiled at this and the sword would have pierced Zero's heart if he hadn't moved slightly to the left. "Oh so you do have a backbone," Zero said looking at Silver with a smile. Silver gritted his teeth at this and sent another sword towards his chest. This time Zero moved to the right to keep it from hitting his heart.

'Okay so he does get pleasure from pain that much is obvious but why not move more than just a little bit? He's putting himself in real danger he may be insane but that doesn't mean he has to risk his life,' Silver thought looking at the male.

When he looked at the male Zero smiled and dropped him. "So maybe you do have a little fight left in you," Zero said as a smile crossed his face.

Silver examined the male in front of him and noticed that most of his swords were close to other organs. That's when Silver replayed the fight in his head and he realized that Zero would only move a few inchs when he sent his swords at him. Then Zero would move slightly and it would just hit a few inchs from his vital organs.

That's when it hit Silver like a ton of bricks. He wasn't taking this fight seriously because this wasn't the normal Zero. This Zero was just toying with him he wasn't trying to kill him he was just trying to entertain himself.

Silver jumped back and landed on two swords and started to run away. He may not be the type to run from a fight but he wasn't going to sit there and be someone's play thing.

Silver was flying through the air with two swords under his feet however he was suddenly forced to come to a stop as Zero suddenly appeared in front of him with a solid thud following behind him.

Silver became a little mad at this and made a sword appear in his hand. Silver pushed it through Zero's arm and raised it up clearly cutting off Zero's arm.

Silver jumped back at this and looked at his opponent. 'That should get to him,' Silver thought with a smile as he watched Zero move one of his hands up to his should. However Silver heard something that discouraged him Zero started laughing.

"Heh heheheh hahahahahaha yes! Excellent! I'm really starting to have fun now! Hahahahaha! I didn't know you would be this much," Zero then looked at Silver and smiled. When he did something black with a red outline took the shape of his arm and in seconds it was colored like his arm as well.

"I have to admit I didn't think you'd actually be this fun so Silver tell me something. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO DIE?!" Zero asked looking at the white haired male in front of him.

Silver looked into Zero's eyes and they seemed excited Silver was quite for a moment before Zero finally spoke again. "Go ahead you've entertained me for quite some time so I'll humor any request you may have no matter how ridiculous it may be," Zero said looking at him.

"I'm not going to die no matter how hard you try you won't be able to kill me," Silver said looking at Zero.

"Really now?" Zero asked before he disappeared and then reappeared in front of him. Zero slammed his hand into Silver's face and forced the male to the ground.

Silver took his sword and slammed it into Zero's heart. The blonde smiled at this and grabbed the blade. "Let's see how you do without this," Zero said as he crushed the sword in his hand.

When he did all the other swords vanished and Silver suddenly became much more nervous. "I can't kill you huh? Seems like you're already dead to me," Zero said as he lifted the male up and smashed his hand into Silver's face.

He could have easily killed him if he wanted to but this Zero wasn't the type of Zero to have mercy on his opponents. "You told me I couldn't kill but I'd like to try and prove you wrong," Silver said as he slammed his fist into Silver's face.

"So let's see how many time is it going to take!" Zero said as he started to repeatedly slam his hand into Silver's face.

"Just kill me quickly!" Silver said looking at Zero. The blonde seemed displeased with this and sighed.

"Alright then," the male said as he dropped Silver. When he did he placed his hands on either side of his head and crushed his skull with easy.

When he did Zero suddenly felt sick and coughed up and a large amount of blood. The male then fell to the ground and when he did Jason walked over to him and sighed.

"I hate seeing that side of you but guess it couldn't be helped given the circumstances," Jason said tossing the male on his shoulder. He then looked over at Lubbock who had Mine.

'I'm going to have to talk to her about this. She's obviously important to him and I don't want him getting hurt at least not emotionally,' Jason thought as the four of them started to head towards the house they all shared.
