| "Life is a flash of lightning in the dark of night. It is a | |
| brief time of tremendous potential." | |
| ~B. Alan Wallace | |
| "Where's the future?" | |
| "Right here." | |
| "And who's life is this?" | |
| "Mine." | |
| "And what are you going to do with it?" | |
| "Live it by any means necessary." | |
| Those were words that Zoe-Pierce-Darkfire's father, Ezekiel | |
| Pierce, used to say to his students back at the high school he | |
| used to teach. The high school she used to go to. Sabbat Zoe | |
| remembered those words as much as she remembered the Lord's | |
| Prayer. She miss him. She miss her family as a whole. But | |
| they're gone. Snuffed out by a man full of hate and resentment. | |
| Something that later grew inside of her as well. But her life | |
| isn't over. Far from it. Thanks to the Interdimensional Sabbat, | |
| Sabbat Zoe has found a new family. One who helped her original | |
| family get justice, took her in, and taught her how to better | |
| control her powers along with her vampire side. And throughout | |
| her travels in the multiverse, she lived by what her father had | |
| told his students... what he had told her: This is her life. And | |
| she will live it by any means necessary with her new family. | |
| Although The Interdimensional Order of the Dragon are busy doing | |
| whatever, Sabbat Zoe has been training and honing her skills. | |
| Feeling like she's ready, she asked someone in her Sabbat family | |
| if there's someone she can face. It took a moment until a few | |
| days ago, she noticed an alternate version of herself name Zoe | |
| Zolnerowich, a human born with unusual powers. "Miracle Child". | |
| Her folks used to call her that back home. Funny thing about | |
| that: This human Zoe isn't even from here. She's one of the | |
| people who got stuck in this dumpster fire of a universe. Turns | |
| out that she's from another world where gods and monsters exist | |
| and are strong as hell. So this Zoe might be a worthy opponent. | |
| And she's around her age! Once accepted, Sabbat Zoe prepares | |
| herself for a match. Finally, Sabbat Zoe has someone she can | |
| fight. Hopefully, this one doesn't disappoint her. | |
| It was another day for Zoe Zolnerowich. She is enjoying her late | |
| Friday afternoon at a park in Portsmouth, England. She has been | |
| enjoying regular teenager activity such as playing basketball | |
| with some other kids around her age. Once evening rolled over, | |
| she goes over to a convenient store around the block from the | |
| park to grab a few snacks so she can study for her test. As she | |
| grabs a few Colby Jack cheese strings, she takes out her phone | |
| and sends a quick text to the Exiles group chat and tells the | |
| group that she's ready to head home. After getting what she | |
| needs, she stands by in the store. Although Zoe has learned | |
| teleportation using her lightning powers, she still plans on | |
| waiting for them due to how dangerous things are nowadays. Even | |
| with the suppression ring she wears on her finger, the chances | |
| of getting jumped by everything out of the Grimm Brothers' wet | |
| dreams are high. Once she paid for her snacks, Zoe wave goodbye | |
| to the worker and to the store's cat by giving the cat some | |
| scritches. As she waits by the store and listening to some | |
| music, she notice a plasma spirit | |
| ( | |

| />floating by the corner of her eye. One of her wisps pops up an | |
| d | |
| begin communicating with it for a minute before the plasma | |
| spirit flies off. Zoe's wisp tells her that it wants her to | |
| follow her, which makes her frown but obeys since her instincts | |
| told her to do so or else something might happen, but not before | |
| sending a message to the group chat again about the situation | |
| and telling them to follow her scent from the convenient store | |
| in Portsmouth that she usually goes to. She follows the wisp to | |
| a sketchy, yet abandoned area, not too far from the woods. Once | |
| there, the plasma spirit disappears, only to reveal at least | |
| three human bodies, one being fully drained of blood and two | |
| being burnt to the point of charcoal. Zoe immediately pause her | |
| music, puts her phone away, summon her fighting gloves on her | |
| hands, knowing that something is about to go down along with | |
| cursing at herself for not realizing it sooner. | |
| Zoe: Son of b*tch! Come out and show yourself! | |
| Adjacent to the body with it's throat ripped out, Sabbat Zoe | |
| gets up from the stairs and casually walks over to Zoe, stopping | |
| at least three feet away from her. To Zoe, this person seem to | |
| be around her age, but her eyes tell that she's a bit older than | |
| she lets on. Either that or PTSD is a real b*tch. Zoe can also | |
| sense that this person is a dhampir though she feels very | |
| familiar. | |
| Sabbat Zoe: Took your ass long enough. Then again, it's Friday. | |
| You wanna unwind from school. I've been there. Though usually, I | |
| go out to parties to unwind. I'm guessing you're more of an | |
| introvert. | |
| Zoe: Who the hell are you? | |
| Sabbat Zoe: Damn, I was getting there. Relax, girl. Then again, | |
| I'll be kind of heated as well if I was in your position. Yeah, | |
| sorry about the mess. Normally, I'll clean up but when I sensed | |
| you, I gotta make it quick before your people show up. Yeah, let | |
| me get this out of the way. My name is Zoe Pierce-Darkfire. | |
| Basically, I'm the dhampir version of you who's been adopted by | |
| the Interdimensional Sabbat. Not gonna go into details but | |
| today's your lucky day. You and I get to box. | |
| Zoe: ...What? | |
| Sabbat Zoe: Seriously? I mean, I get that you're Russian and was | |
| raised in a bougie ass place once you were air dropped into this | |
| universe but you gotta know a few slang words. Then again, this | |
| is England... | |
| Zoe: No! Gods no, not that, damn it. I mean why the hell did you | |
| decide to fight me? I'm not even a damn Darkfire--. | |
| Sabbat Zoe: Stop right there. You already know by now that you | |
| don't have to be blood related to be a Darkfire. And if you're | |
| considered family by one, then you're one of them, which is one | |
| hell of an honor. Plus, on your mother's side of the family back | |
| in your world, your folks are related to them in a way so you're | |
| related to them in your home world and you've been adopted by | |
| them in this world. Kind of like me. | |
| Zoe: So what? Is this for sh*ts and giggles or a fight to the | |
| death or something? I'm gonna end up like them? gestures to the | |
| corpses | |
| Sabbat Zoe: Oh them? Pssh! Those assh*les were scumbags. Gang | |
| members who trafficked drugs and people. They got off lucky in | |
| my opinion. | |
| Zoe: An ass beating should've been fine enough along with them | |
| being dropped off to the police. | |
| Sabbat Zoe: Oh God, you're one of those people. Look Batman, at | |
| least went after a criminal. I could've been a real ass and went | |
| after someone our age but I chose not to. F*ck, one of them was | |
| a hunter. That alone should say something. Listen, I'm not here | |
| for a debate or something. You're not going to die. Just show me | |
| what you can do. See you on the rooftop. | |
| With that, Sabbat Zoe disappears in a burst of orange lightning | |
| along with the bodies leaving in the same manner. Sighing, Zoe | |
| teleports herself on top of the building to meet with Zoe. Once | |
| there, Zoe puts her bag to side by the rooftop door and gets | |
| into a fighting stance. Noticing this, Sabbat Zoe takes off her | |
| leather jacket and place it on the edge of the rooftop. She then | |
| walks over to her human counterpart casually with a cocky half | |
| grin on her face which slightly shows her fangs. | |
| Sabbat Zoe: Let's get it! | |
| With that, Sabbat Zoe use her own martial arts stepping method | |
| to rush in and begin the attack, which O. Zoe begin dodging a | |
| few and blocking the third and last punch with her hand, though | |
| Zoe wince a bit due to S. Zoe being stronger than she thought. | |
| The two Zoes continue to fight using their respected martial | |
| arts styles that they learned from their families, O. Zoe using | |
| Systema while S. Zoe use mixed martial arts that she learned | |
| from her father, including boxing. Despite the fighting looking | |
| even so far, the two were warming up along with testing each | |
| other's strengths. Doesn't matter how it looks on paper or | |
| hearing it from other people, it's different when you witness it | |
| from your own eyes. Something that both of their fathers has | |
| taught them before. Although O. Zoe doesn't know her father as | |
| much as her alternate self, she still remembers some things from | |
| him, along with Jon's teachings being somewhat similar as well. | |
| S. Zoe perform a tornado like kick attack on O. Zoe, but it was | |
| an easy read, having O. Zoe block the attack. That's it for the | |
| first round. Now things are going to have a kickstart. | |
| Sabbat Zoe: Okay. Decent intro so far. Don't stop now, though. | |
| We barely started. | |
| Zoe: Sure as hell feels like it. She states sarcastically | |
| The two continue to fight each other using martial arts but this | |
| time, S. Zoe is picking up the pace. O. Zoe barely dodged the | |
| side kick, side step the jump kick and parries the jab. O. Zoe | |
| goes for a counter but S. Zoe manage grab the punch and use a | |
| jujitsu move to throw Zoe over to her back. O. Zoe grunts in | |
| pain but manage to roll to the side to evade a punch that made a | |
| dent on the ground, flip jumps back up in time to parry another | |
| punch and tries to swing at S. Zoe's head, nearly taking her | |
| head off if O. Zoe use full force. O. Zoe then continue to be on | |
| the defensive by punching the attacking arm away, followed by | |
| barely blocking a few jabs and a back fist. S. Zoe takes a step | |
| forward and does a heavy attack kick attack, but this time, | |
| infuse it with orange lightning which O. Zoe narrowly dodged it. | |
| The kick hits the ground, destroying the ground and making a | |
| small destructive crater on the ground. O. Zoe's eyes widen in | |
| shock, realizing that S. Zoe is not only a lightning user but a | |
| unique one due to her orange lightning being destructive as | |
| hell, not to mention that she never seen it before. O. Zoe's | |
| heart starts thumping like a bass drum once she sees S. Zoe's | |
| eyes glow orange as well. | |
| O. Zoe: Orange lightning? | |
| S. Zoe: Damn right. It's a rare type of lightning. Something | |
| that can't be replicated or absorbed. Trust me, the last person | |
| who tried to absorb and copy that power f*cked him up to the | |
| point of almost dying. I suggest not repeating that mistake. | |
| Swearing in Russian, O. Zoe goes on the offense but S. Zoe | |
| dodged a few of her attacks which are infused with lightning. | |
| When S. Zoe attacks, O. Zoe blocks it but S. Zoe punch the | |
| block, using her dhampir strength to send O. Zoe back by making | |
| her feet skid back. S. Zoe then made her human counterpart | |
| unbalance by kicking the leg and sends a flying kick at her | |
| opponent's left side, sending the human flying and crashing | |
| against a wall besides the rooftop door. Groaning, O. Zoe gets | |
| up again and catches her breath. S. Zoe makes a come on gesture | |
| to O. Zoe, making the two clash again. During the fight, the two | |
| decide to perform their own Leiji Style, the Lightning Strike | |
| Style on each other but their own spin towards it. Once hit, | |
| they both staggered back. While O. Zoe focus on regenerating her | |
| broken nose, S. Zoe spits out a fanged tooth along with trying | |
| to regenerate the clock to the jaw attack she suffered. | |
| S. Zoe: What the fu... turns to O. Zoe You cheeky little sh*t. | |
| That was spirit lightning! | |
| O. Zoe: forms a small sh*t eating grin You're not the only one | |
| with ass kicking abilities. I'll admit, I'm a bit jealous of | |
| that orange lightning. But my spirit lightning isn't something | |
| to sleep on either. | |
| The two Zoes continue to fight but O. Zoe's regeneration is | |
| having trouble keeping up despite her efforts, only making sure | |
| that the wounds aren't major. Things escalated when O. Zoe got | |
| her arm slashed by S. Zoe's claws. Yelping in pain, O. Zoe tries | |
| to jump back but clash hands with S. Zoe's being overpowered by | |
| not only strength, but also by her Animalism discipline and the | |
| Bright. | |
| S. Zoe: Ready to call it quits? | |
| O. Zoe: Fat chance it Tartarus, b*tch! | |
| With that, Zoe's taps into her spirit power along with Mark's | |
| power as well, gaining his strength and claws. O. Zoe Spartan | |
| kicks S. Zoe in the gut, sending her flying back. The two once | |
| again clash again, using both their animal like powers along | |
| with martial arts, though despite O. Zoe's best efforts, S. Zoe | |
| stagger O. Zoe again by doing a back cyclone kick to the temple | |
| and finish it with a filthy orange lightning infused uppercut to | |
| the gut, making O. Zoe collapse to the ground and cough up | |
| blood. S. Zoe delivers another orange lightning strike but hits | |
| the ground a centimeter away from Zoe's face, making another | |
| crater on the ground. Satisfied, S. Zoe stands up straight and | |
| walks over to grab her jacket. As O. Zoe struggles to breathe | |
| and sit up, S. Zoe puts on her jacket and look at O. Zoe. | |
| S. Zoe: Don't worry. I made sure not to hit anything vital or do | |
| too much damage to the point that your body can't repair itself. | |
| You'll be fine in like 12 hours the most if you rest properly. | |
| Pretty decent for a first match. 7.5 out of 10 in my opinion. | |
| We'll see each other again soon. Depends on what happens. Either | |
| way, you better get stronger by the time we do meet up. And | |
| don't pull that "pretend to be weak" bs. That sh*t ain't gonna | |
| work. It'll only p*ss me off... and trust me, it's the last | |
| thing you want to do for your own health. Take care, kid. Oh, | |
| and good luck on your finals! Math is a b*tch. | |
| With that, S. Zoe leaves in a burst of orange lightning. With a | |
| sigh, O. Zoe leans on the brick wall next to the rooftops, | |
| taking the time to catch her breath and let her body heal as | |
| much as possible before someone come pick her up. | |
| Zoe: Fighting alternates... I was hoping to avoid that until I | |
| turn 18. She mutter to herself Almighty Zeus, is this how people | |
| like Kinny, Kara and Jon feels dealing with alternate lunatics? | |
| I wonder if Revy will let me drink. | |
| End | |
