Z3R0: Fields of Fire
The world has fallen into eternal war and despair... the one true chosen one, the one who can use the three rings, the Ring of Chaos, the Ring of Norm, and the Ring of Divinity. He is the one that has the power to end the war... but he is lost and no one knows where he is... without him, there is no hope.
- An excerpt from Uni's diary.
Chapter 1: War
The two sides of the green battlefield fused together in a savage attack. Behind the front lines, on the left side, were magi. And on the right side were scientists, quickly creating guns and droids to attack the opposite lines. The magi were chanting spells and destroying the droids and guns just as fast as the scientists were creating them. Uni, a dog god with white hair, eyes, tank top, and gloves was summoning gigantic dogs to battle. But just as quickly as he did this, Jewel, a girl younger than him who had silver hair, red eyes, and a red and black gown of sorts was summoning twin dragons from her two swords on her waist. Uni was a bit angered by this. He was part of the Zeroins, The First, the rebellion that had risen up after the Justicians, The Second, took control over Z3R0. As the dogs and the dragons battled in the background, Uni suddenly flung himself at Jewel using a most unusual fighting style. He grew claws from his hands and bare feet and swung a hand at Jewel. She cursed in pain as she tried to fight back. But Uni dodged everything she was throwing at him. He was being cautious though, because he was surrounded by the scientists and others that made up The Second. Uni flipped back into The First's lines to stop Jewel's somewhat bad advance. She went back to controlling her dragons, which had taken down several of Uni's dogs already.
All of a sudden, wolves, snakes, lions, and all sorts of animals began to attack from random directions. A large machina began to shoot at the dogs and dragons, controlling itself, it seemed. A man with long blue hair tied back in a pony tail who had golden eyes was standing on a nearby hill, making war directions with his hands. Uni finally realized what was going on. The Sceni, The Third, the lesser side of the war that had magic scientists (The Sceni) and shape shifters on their sides, had joined the battle with the element of surprise.
Cri was watching the battle unfold on a tree top far away. He had a winter cap on with cord-like extensions, silver hair, and steely gray eyes that never seemed to blink. "What has this world come to?" He asked himself. He was a part of the Numbers, one of Z3R0's many secrets. He had been entrusted with the Ring of Chaos by his clan and The Creator. He had no idea where the other rings were hidden. The Creator appeared suddenly near Cri. "Near... what are you doing here?" Cri aske.
Now Near was odd. He appeared fourteen at first glance. He had dark brown hair and eyes. He had a smirk most of the time and wore a black long coat with black jeans and a shirt. "I've come to enjoy the show." He said. "Remember, this dimension was created for my entertainment." He added.
Cri just shrugged. "S'not my place to tell you what you're doing is wrong." He replied. "By the way, what year is it?" He asked. Near quickly did a bit of calculating in his head. "About 1,500, War Era." He answered. He had started to keep track of 'years' after the war started. Time, though, was not technically moving in Z3R0. That was the strange part. But that was also the reason Near or his Creations never aged. "Wow... they've been fighting for that long, eh?" Cri asked. Near shrugged. "Total war didn't break out until 500 years ago, roughly. Before that it was sort of a series of small battles." Near replied. "So we've had 8,000 years of peace and 1,500 years of war... well, considering what peace is here." Cri said, not making a whole lot of sense. "That's right. It's almost ashame to think that this happened because my two greatest creations died... but then again, it gave me all these years of wonderful entertainment." Near said. Cri sighed. "You're a twisted little boy." He said. Near laughed. "I know." He replied before vanishing.
Several hours later, the battle had ended. The First, The Second, and The Third were resting. The Third had vanished from the battle rather quickly as it was still going on. Their leader, Simon, the one who had been controlling The Third, was pleased. "We lost very little today." He said to himself. A muscular werewolf, standing on its hind legs, walked over to him. It changed into a young girl with pink hair, blue eyes, wearing a torn tight t-shirt and jeans. "Hey Simon!" She called excitedly, waving her hand. "Hello, Val." He said to her, waving back half heartedly. The girl's name was indeed Val. She was a werewolf that had the now common power to turn into a werewolf whenever she choose. "What are you thinking about? Today's battle?" She asked, looking at him curiously. He put his hand up to his chin. "Well, yes and no... I'm thinking about that dog god, Uni. Why isn't he on our side?" He asked her. She shrugged. "Hell if I know... he's cute though." SHe said. Simon sighed. He was a human that had turned himself into a sceni, a magic scientist. This was what The Third's army was made up of. Crossbreeds and shape shifters. Val threw her arms around Simon playfully. "C'mon, stop thinking so hard. Loosen up a bit." She said, whispering in his ear. He looked a bit red.

"You are the boy to end this war... You must find the three rings and use them to stop this nonsense."
These words echoed through Sen's head, dancing around in his mind as he layed on the grass. He was in Z3R0, but far away from any of the others. He was lonely. He was an odd boy, born around the time that the war had started. He looked no older than 18. He had purple hair, purple eyes, a white shirt, and black jeans. He sighed. "Where have I been... what have I done..." He mummbled to himself. On his waist layed a wooden blade. But there was something very odd about this blade: It was one of Z3R0's secrets and possesed a peculiar ability. Anything the blade sliced through froze in time. But it had a weaker affect on living creatures, only making it so that they were paralyzed for a short time. But it sliced through solid objects without damaging them, only paralyzing them from the inside. His other ability lied within his hands, which had three abilities: The first was to force energy out of the opponent's touched body part. The second was to absorb energy from the touched body part. The third was to confuse the touched body part. Sen was a very odd boy indeed. He was weak in battle, but if he found and used the three rings he would gain extreme power and abilities as well as ending the war. It was his job. But all he was now was... lonely.
