Alexander "Zero" Labeau / Attempt 1 / 0 Waves completed

Zero layed on the hospital table as the nurses and doctors around bandaging him and trying to mend his broken body. In time his body would heal but mentally he was fit as a fiddle. As he lay there on the bed a large demonic cloaked figure of imense proportions stood and held out a large leather bound book. The book mark tassle hung from the center of some pages and it opened it, looking down at the pages.

After a moment, it turned the book around and pointed to a line with nothing on it, and a dark smile appeared within the hood of the figure.

Zero knew of this thing, the guardian of the Realm of Mirrors. It alone had the ability to bring forth others into the realm that it saw fit for the rages of such a plain and invited them to test their wits and strength against the Realms Unknown and chaotic power.

Zero's name began to appear upon the line as he concentrated and soon the name "Alexander Tracer Labeau Jr." appeared transporting Zero's mind to another time and place.

Zero exited the portal and appeared in a world ravaged by war and chaos. The smell of charred bodied and cooking flesh made his senses reel back in haste. He looked to his body to see that all the bandages and cuts, breaks and bruises were gone and so flexed his hands and moved his arms to test the strength he had, which was perfect.

He looked about Desilation and watched as plumes of black thick smoke rose to the skies as yell and battle cries could be heard in the distance and getting closer. Buildings were run down, burned up or destroyed and bodies layed strew about as Zero panned his vision around to get a good look at the surrounding areas.

The hair on the back of his head stood on end with energy and the feeling of death loomed greatly as he focused on the energy to sense its direction and source. To no avail Zero began to walk, but was intterupted by the battle cry of a single barbarian of large size and scale. Zero tilted his head back just enough to watch the blade just barely miss cutting the end of his bangs off.

Without hesitation, Zero spun around and kicked the Barbarian as hard as he could, stepping into it to connect with the force he could muster. The barbarians ribs cracked and he was sent flying back into a building wall still standing. Barbarian blood filled the air as wood shrapnel pierced his lungs and chest and shoulder causing instant death.

Zero came to a stop of his spin and stood a moment with one leg still in a defensive high knee form. He peered around and focused his senses to combat style and let his leg down as the calls of others began to approach his way.

Zero knew what was to happen here. He had visited this place before and the obective was the same back then as it was now, survive. Dying was the only option, just how long though was up to the fighter.

With that knowledge intact in his mind and comin to grips with it once again, as he did as a child, he dropped his knee and began walking in the same direction of the calls of death that came upon this region.

As he approached the edge of town, the sounds of battle began to echo as they grew closer and closer to the destroyed town, the sound echoing against what was left of the town walls and empty streets.

He stood still as the approach of multiple waves began to descend upon him. He readied himself by popping his knuckles and stretching his arms and legs before stepping into a semi circle path, leaving a single foot trail behind and pushing outwards with his hands sending a shock wave hurling towards the multiple assailents against him.

Wave 2

The wave of energy landed dead center of the five barbarians of the second wave, sending them in multiple directions. The blast had no explosive effect but instead detonated into a sonic wave that reached out fifteen feet.

Zero grinned mischieviously, standing back up and bouncing on the tips of his toes, getting ready for the onslaught that was about to ensue.

Two of the barbarians had fallen as the blast sent them into different directions and carried them into debris of the deadliest types. The othe three stood and with no fear charged in Zero's direction roaring like animals.

Zero jumped forward one step and into a barbarian as he came within just a few feet. With a quick direction change and an extended hand, he grabbed the barbarians weapon and slung him to a side, ducking below an axe that came from Zero side. Zero was officially having fun as he dropped down and then came back up slugging the second barbarian across the jaw, following with a spinning back fist and a swipe of his hand to send him flying away. The third barbarian rushed him and stabbed in Zero's direction only to be met by air as Zero turned his body with ease and avoided the blade's point.

The metal of the blade moved down Zero's arm broadly causing no damage. He smiled as the barbarian came shoulder to shoulder with him then spun around behind him grabbing the barbarians foot and pulling up sending him face first into the ground.

The first barbarian began to stand as Zero grabbed the third barbarians axe and slammed it into the back of his skull splitting in two and sending grey matter in all directions. Now there were two.
Both barbarians stood and moved to flank Zero as, one on both sides. Zero looked between them for first impulses. Each seemed to twitch in hesitation which gave Zero the impression that they didn't want to fight anymore. He looked to the area and began inching his way towards a dead body brandishing a bloody broad sword from his back The barbarians seemed to be waiting for him to make a move as he removed it from the dead corpse. He flipped the blade away a couple of times to test the weight of an axe in one hand and a sword in the other. The axe was heavy and the sword was balanced. Zero adjusted his weight accordingly and closed his eyes dropping his weapons to the ground.

"Oops.", Zero exclaimed, "How clumsy of me...", he jokingly continued.

The barbarians roared and began rush him blades up high and towards the ground, Zero looked at them and in that moment, the dropped sword and axe belted into the chests of the barbarians dropping them both simultaneously, which caused the world around him to shift and shimmer as the bodied hit the ground and fade into nothing telling Zero, Wave 3 was incoming.

WAVE 3

The shifted in swirls and began to glitter as Zero stood watching as the war ravaged world became just a distant image on the horizon. War could still be heard but the sounds were from afar and now they seemed so far away.

Instead of burned human flesh in the air, it was filled with a crisp cold air that made Zero shutter at first touch. The realm around had not fully formed but his natural senses became attuned to the would around him and made him think of home. He closed his eyes reveling in the sounds of peace, the smells of bread cooking in the heats of cast iron stoves and felt the crisp air turn warm as light began to dance just over the walls of a castle which was just appearing.

The cobblestone walls and walking paths of a wall fizzled into his vision. In the small distance ahead of him several guards dressed in silver metal and wearing full armor colored naturally by steel and forged metals.

The sky became a pale blue clolor with a few dark clouds that loomed in the distance, possibly giving way to rain as grey streaks from the heavens began to descend to the ground.

Zero looked around and poked up one eye in confusion as the massive wooden doors of the castle closed harshly and a voice called out.

"Intruder! Kill the intruder!"

Zero looked down the walls and saw a guard pointing at him from below. That was when he realized that the realm had placed him in a dark time for the knights of a holy order. The markings on their armor had a large red cross upon it, telling Zero he was now an intruder of a castle within the time of the crusades.

Guards came rushing up the stairs and headed towards him from the walkway ahead. Zero looked around at his surroundings, trying to gauge where he could get to for a better standing. He was within the gap of two sides of a walkable wall which gave him ten feet of play room, but if he were flanked then his could get cornered.

Zero looked around quickly for anything that might get him to the center courtyard and found the ropes of a pully off the side of the wall. In a mad dash, he jumped from the walls and grabbed the rope and descended from the top of the wall into the center courtyard as he repelled off the wall and landed with a soft touch.

He stood quickly and dodged the swing of a blade, then again dodged as the same guy used his own missed momentu to swing gain. Zero stepped in super close and placed a palm lightly into the mans chest plate, and generating a pulse of TK energy that sent him careening into the wall leaving a dent in his armor.

Zero thought about de-ja-vu, and grabbed the wrist of a blade coming down upon him. With a single knee and a bit of Kumate style fighting, a knee drove the knght into a doubled over position, giving Zero enough time to grab the second blade from the nights belt and cutting off his head with extreme precision, just between the chains of his armor.

With a thump, the body hit the ground as the knights began to flood from the stairs on both sides of the courtyard. With the incoming assaults from both sides, Zero amped up his power, giving a static feel to the air while no effects were visibly shown.

Multiple foes rushed into a circle around Zero, Zero in response slammed his hands to the ground pulsing out a wave of power that blasted the circle open and sending the targeted circle of knights into the castle walls and into stables, and other buildings that were within range of their falling bodies.

The armor that each knight wore, took quite a bit more force to impact and kill the peron inside. Zero knew this would be a problem, so he picked up a sword and stood firmly onto his ground as the waves began to washs into him.

The first of four knights swung and was met by a block and a TK punch across the face, while the second knight was hit by a wave that was focused and shot him in the helmet, knocking him out and the helmet off.

The third knight pulled a second blade and began a flurry assault of slashes and cuts through the air that Zero blocked and dodged strategically until the time came for him tp counter arrives. The fourth knight did the same thing as the third making a counter attack even harder as blades were clashing and spinning around aiming for Zero's head.

Zero amped up again and opened his palm pulling a second and third sword towards him. He gripped the first blade physically and the other two blades mentally, swinging them to counter and parry the four blades that were against him.

Zero had to focus. This was beginning to get annoying as all he was doing was dodging and countering attacks with equal force. Play time was over and Zero began to assault back. The first blade he held was timed well as it intersected knight 3's swords stopping them in place.

The knight looked for a moment before Zero twitched his open hand and the knights head snapped to a side. With a single motion he lobbed the dead knight and his three blades at knight four who became dogpiled and pierced by body and blades.

Zero sensed the presence of another and spun around quickly to punch Knight 1 in the helmet, denting it harshly, the sound of breaking cartilege being heard as he fell back and began trying to remove the helmet with no avail. The helmless knight picked up his blade and shook out the butteflies in his head before taking a step towards Zero.

Zero shook his head and mentally grabbed the knights helmet and raising into the air. The helmless knight looked up just in time to see it slam down upon his head. He groaned in pain as the metal edges cut flesh and hit the mans throat.

Zero tilted his head a bit as he clammered to get the helmet off but decisted once Zero lifted his hand and made a fist crushing the mans skull inside the helmet.

As his body hit the ground, heat began to rise from behind Zero. He turned back to see the red and orange flames engulf him and burn as a blazing fireball engulfed him and his surroundings.

WAVE 4

The flames scorched stone and burned to ash all that was flammable. The flaming ball of energy stopped atop Zero's location. It blazed and engulfed a ten foot wide area, torching anything in its wake. Flames snapped out like hands to walls and bolts of arching lightning as it continued to burn for nearly a full minute.

As the flames decisted, Zero's image appeared with arms rotating in front of him. As one hand went down his body, the other would come up bypassing each other. A spherical bubble pulsed around Zero's body protecting him from the flames as they fell to the ground, a small out of that flaming energy being caught and focused into a small orb in front of him.

Zero hadn't expected magic to come into play yet. He knew in time it would happen but not right now, and not at such ferocity. His right arm was red and his clothes were torn and burnt from a late reaction to the attack that ambushed him.

He focused his eyes as the flames died to see a red robe with a man within them. He was holding his hands out like he had just thrown something and stood upright as the flame assault ended. Zero smirked and cringed simutaneously as he looked at the burns on his arm.

Zero's to a step back and slid his foot across the ground in a semi-circle and pushed in the direction of the mage. The small sphere of flaming energy bolted off like bullet towards the mage who hed out a single hand and called forth a rune of protection which caused the flame sphere to fizzle out before getting to its target.

Zero popped his neck and took a step forward towards the enemy who swipd his left hand across his body and formed a large icicle out of thin air. With a single hand motion, the mass of vorpal ice became hurled at Zero.

With a grin, Zero stepped a bit to the left and moved a hand up then away from him, giving the ice new direction, impaling a wall. The mage in response swiped his hands one then the other across his body, creating two glacial blades and hurled them at Zero who reached out with two hands and clapped them together making the sharpened ice blades slam into each other, creating hundreds of small razor like rain drops which exploded in every direction.

The mage clasped his hands together and with a push like motion moved his arms forward. The motion sent a cold wind into the shards pulling them into a small clusted of blades and then smiled heavily as they were pushed toward Zero with terrifying speed.

Zero didn't have to react so he did what he could, he screamed.
A pulse of power blasted from the sonic waves and countered the arctic rain that was flying his way. Sonic waves clashed against ice blades creating a fantastic effect of sounds ranging from broking glass to pops of mini-explosions.

Zero was now in full throttle. He amped his third time and reached out to grab the mage by the throat, but in response and at the last moment before he felt the grasp a surge of power boomed out of him heading towards the heavens.

With the snap of his neck, Zero began to expect the next wave but instead found that the next wave wouldn't come. He breathed heavily and focused his mind to the next battle as clouds formed overhead at a rate that could only mean trouble. A rumble from above was followed by clashes of lightning and stroke of sound.

Zero didn't know what to make of it. He stood ready thinking that this was the next attack when in fact, this was a final attack of a dying man.

The air got cold and the clouds turned dark as midnight as snow began to fall and a dark laughter began to echo throughout the realm. The hair on Zero's neck stood on end as a bolt of lightning struck next to him. If this attack was lightning fast, literally, he was in for a shock.

As the temperature went down, the ground began to frost and the walls began to crash. The evil laugh became a voice and the depth of it became revirbirating as it echoed within the castle walls.

"With my death... came your own... PRISMATIC TEMPEST!"

The voice called as dozens of multi-colored bolts of lightning representing ever natural element known came flashing down from the sky in a rain of flashing furry that no mortal could take on without knowing the intricasies of the spell used.

Used focused everything he had on defenses. A dark maroon bubble appearing around him and becoming a super thick psionic coating that reflected the elements like a windshield. Each bolt of elemental lightning was like hitting a train. The vibration of each blast hitting the barrier made Zero grip mentally as hard as he could. This was it and he knew it. He simply didn't have enough power to take this much of a beating. But even knowing that he forced everything he had into the defenses he could muster.

After a few minutes, the rain of lightning and elemental archs stopped and Zero stood with his hands and legs spread apart as though holding a door open. He breathed heavily, and harshly from the amount of power used. This realm had gotten the best of him. The dust settled as a single individual stood after the aftermath unfolded.

Zero eyed the one shade as the dust settled. As the dust came to a settlement with the ground the image of himself stood their with a smile and a .38 Special that crackled with power.

Zero sighed and shook his head and the hammer of his doppleganagers gun went off and he snapped awake in the healing wards of a hospital in the Realm of Tenkuu.
