"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.
