"He probably works like Crystal, for the Giant part at least... Weird how all of them have to be barefoot" Zero thought

"I'll just make this real fast okay?" Zayden said

Zayden tried to stomp on Zero but he dodged it

"You'll have to do better than that" Zero said

"Finger, gun!" Zero said firing a beam at Zayden

Zayden's fingertip turned black and he had the beam hit his finger

"Turnabout" Zayden said firing the attack back but bigger than before

Zero dodged the beam

"So you can absorb stuff?" Zero said

"No no no, it's so adorable how dumb you are, I have the power to amplify anything, all I did was strengthen my finger and then flick your little attack back at double its strength" Zayden said

"I'll give you something bigger if that's what you want" Zero said

"Oh please do, or you can run away or let me kill you" Zayden said

"Ultima" Zero said firing a giant beam from his hand

Zaydens hands turned black as he quickly tried to stop the beam

Zayden was trying to push back the beam or prevent it from hitting him

"Looks like that ability is getting you that far, actually never mind it is! Look how far away I'm pushing you" Zero said

Zayden tried to dig his toes into the concrete to prevent him from being pushed back

"This kid..." Zayden thought

"Amplify" Zayden said as his arms began to turn black

Zayden started walking forward pushing the beam back

"I really like you. But I'm sorry I'm gonna have to kill you now" Zayden said

Zayden was right in front of Zero

Zero was asleep with his head facing down

"Cute..." Zayden said

Zero snapped awake

"Oh wait I was fighting" Zero said

"Yeah... but now you're not" Zayden said

Zayden stepped on Zero as the beam disappeared

"I needed a footrest really bad" Zayden said sitting down

"Lane, how are you doing over there!" Zayden shouted

"How can I hit him?" Flash thought trying to slash Lane

Lane kept dodging every time Flash would attempt to attack him

"I will have to try my latest technique" Flash thought

"You'll never hit me when I'm this small" Lane said

Flash did a downward slash as lame dodged it

"Like I said you'll never hit-" Lane was interrupted as a second Flash sliced the front of lanes torso

"Wait there's two of him?" Lane thought

"Flashimage" Flash said

"What?" Lane said

"That is what I call that technique" Flash said

"The ability to create as many after images as needed for as long as I need" Flash said

"Flashimage, hundred" Flash said as one hundred afterimages proceeded to take one attack at lane from each direction saying there

"Where is he going to attack from?" Lane thought

Lane dodged another attack that was just an afterimage

"This next one can't be" Lane thought

A sword slashed through lane but it was just an afterimage

"That could have killed-" Lane tried to say before a hand grabbed him from behind

"Tell me what your goals are before I squeeze the life out of you" Flash said

"No" Lane said

Lane proceeded to shrink even more slipping out of Flash's hand

"I have the ability to decrease anything's power, this includes physical power as well, I'm able to decrease my muscle mass as well as my size to increase my speed and mobility" Lane said

"Why use it on yourself and not the one attacking you" Flash said

"It assists me with my shrinking ability" Lane said

"If you are decreasing your physical strength how do you expect to damage me" Flash said

"That's my trumpcard, the weaker I get the stronger I am" Lane said

Lane suddenly jumped and punched Flash into a building

Flash quickly stabbed his sword into the building before impact and launched himself off of the sword all in 0.001 second

"Excalibur" Flash said forming Excalibur

"Flashimage light slash" Flash said

Multiple afterimages surrounded Lane as multiple slashes from Excalibur swung at Lane

"I can't keep up with these" Lane said

"He's getting more desperate with his dodges.. could it be? He becomes less durable the smaller he gets as an equal exchange to the rest of his amplifications?" Flash thought

"Looks like he's occupied over there, how's my little guy doing under here" Zayden said lifting his foot

Zero was fast asleep snoring

"Hey what happened to the cushion" Zero said opening his eyes

"You aren't hurt?" Zayden said surprised

"Why would I, you aren't that strong, I just thought it was soft under there and wanted to take a nap" Zero said

"You are..." Zayden said angrily

"So..." Zayden continued

"Cute!" Zayden shouted clapping his hands together

"Hm?" Zero said looking up

"It's adorable how oblivious you are to everything and how you just don't care" Zayden said

"Please come with us and join our team, I would love to have you all to myself there" Zayden said

"No thanks I like my team, besides I'm not into dudes" Zero said

"Then I'll just knock you out and chain you up forever only to be released when I want you" Zayden said

"Creepy" Zero thought

"Whether you like it or not..." Zayden said grinning

"You guys give me the chills" Zero said

Zeros stomach rumbled

"Man I'm starving" Zero said

"Then I'll make sure to feed you when we get back" Zayden said

"You know what, now that I got some rest.. I'll get a little bit serious" Zero said

"Giant barrage!" Zero shouted jumping in the air releasing multiple blasts falling on Zayden

Zayden tried blocking but he was being overpowered by the attacks

"Giants are always more of a hassle, I'd know I live with one" Zero said

"You live with a giant?" Zayden said struggling behind the blasts

"Yeah, two actually come to think of it" Zero said

"What if it's them..." Zayden thought

"Burst Rush!" Zero shouted charging through the remaining blasts punching Zayden in the stomach

"Urgh" Zayden said spitting

"Giant barrage, rendered punches!" Zero shouted as he began barraging Zayden as afterimages of his fists went across Zaydens whole upper body dealing damage to them

"See ya" Zero said putting his hand out releasing a giant beam blasting Zayden far away

"One down" Zero said

"You think it's that easy?" Zayden said appearing right in front of Zero completely covered the the black amplification

"With the power of the Achilles gem I stole from the Amazon, my power will never let me lose" Zayden said creepily smiling

The black slowly disappeared from Zaydens body

"I'm tired of this, and it would make me feel so good to see you stronger l, so I'm gonna leave k?" Zayden said

Zayden walked over to Flash and Lanes battle

Zayden swiftly snatched Lane

"I'll see you later" Zayden said

"With Arials borrowed magic I should be able to just" Zayden said as smoke covered him and Lane as they disappeared

"How dare that Giant interrupt my battle" Flash said

"I think it's good he did that, we can't beat him" Zero said

"What?" Flash said shocked

"He stole something that... I don't even know how to explain it he kind of just wouldn't take damage or be blasted away" Zero said

"How can we defeat him" Flash thought

Suddenly Crystal rushed in from the side

"Is he *huff* still here?" Crystal said panting

"Who" Zero said

"A giant man, Zayden" Crystal said

"He just left, that dude said some weird stuff to me" Zero said

"Damn it!" Crystal yelled

"What's your problem?" Zero asked

"He's... my brother" Crystal said
