Zero: *falls into a deep meditative trance* ....
-Zero's inner conscience-
*Zero gently floats down through the deep darkness and comes across the same familiar light as before. He knew Zack was waiting for him.When Zero's feet touch the bottom, a plain forms beneath his feet and Zack stands there smiling. He was always smiling...Zero made his way over to him and without saying a word both Zero and Zack each draw out their Sabers and engage in a metaphysical battle within in order to strengthen Zero's spirit and overcome the darkness he previously learned to wield with Omega. Omega taught Zero to open himself to the darkness, yet Zero noticed it's consuming effect. Zero has now dived deep into his own soul in order to purifiy himself and gain complete mastery of it. Using it to protect, instead of to destroy*
Zack: *smiling* So have you come! I knew you would... You weren't finished training
Zero: *smirks* A SOLIDER's work is never finished... The darkness
Zack: *slashes at Zero, with blinding speed* I know... We have to have this battle because it is corrupting us... Corrupting
Zero: *Blocks the slash, and engages Zack in a Saber-lock* me... *Zero begins to irradiate a brooding dark energy from deep within, the darkness becomes a Dark repulsive cloak that fully enables Beast Cross within him, turning him into Feral Wolf Forme*
Zack: *frowns and forces Zero back from the Saber-lock* I suppose it is up to me...to save us *Zack becomes calm and begins to absorb the more natural darkness and starts converting it into a more stable dark form* Our family always was skilled at utilizing the Natural Dark Aura... We were the desendents of Noble Knights and even a great king! *Zack begins to channel his energy into his Saber, causing it to become much more powerful, Zack then rushes forward at a blinding speed and slashes Zero's chest in an X formation* Zero tell me.... Do you remember your true last name?
Zero: *unleashes a feral howl and clutches his chest in pain, This was the first time in a very long time he had registered pain* My....RRReal....Name? *Zero lunges forward slashing at Zack viciously with his claws but seems unable to land any decisive blows*
Zack: *smiles* I never thought... I would forget something so important. Father would never forgive us... Our name is the only thing we have when it's all over, and we die truly when it is no longer remembered! *Zack begins to surge with Natural Dark energy as his Saber grows in length due to the power flowing freely through it* It is Zack... Zack Leohart! *Zack and Zero then rush each other and deliver a blinding strike*
Zero: *smirks*....
Zack: *smirks*...
*Zero falls to her knees from the exchange and the darkness recedes from his body. Zack walks up slowly to Zero's body, clearly fatigued but still smiling*
Zack: and now we can have a more perfect union
*Zack begins to glow as his spirit combines back into Zero's soul. Zero then wakes up and smiles*
Zack:... time to get back to work....
