Leo:Rubs back of his head*: I don't know,bro. I'm gonna be late. Sash is gonna trip. I'm not trying to hear her ass today.
Shakell: Damn. The great Leonardo is a Bitc…
Leo:*Cuts Shakell off*: Shut up,let's do this.

Leo*:Smirks*: Just keep up.
*The opponents begin to barrage Leo and Shakell with balls. They dodge swiftly*

Leo:*Reaches his hand out and picks up Shakell*: Good ass catch.
Shakell:*laughs*: Good game, superstar. We're gonna see you at tryouts this Friday?
Leo: I'll be here,bro. Now if you'll excuse me I gotta get to work. *Leo grabs his work jacket and runs off*

After work Leo is back at the gym getting some practice in.
Artist Note: Leo will be workout gear. Tank top and shorts.
Leo:*Tossing the ball at the wall to warm up*
Leo:*Looks around*: Looks like no one is coming for sure.
Leo:*Makes a clone and tosses a ball at him: let's get it!!
Leo's Clone: Bring it!
*They begin to go at it. Dodging and throwing the ball. Each move growing more intensely*
Leo:*Tosses the ball with so much force and ferocity that he inadvertently activates his Zero mode*
Page 8
*Leo's clone catches the ball but explodes creating what appears to be a dimensional fissure*
Leo:*Powering down and begins walking towards the dimensional fissure*: What the fuck did I do, Zero?!
On the other side of the dimensional fissure is Earth L. The main earth for our protagonists Legacy,Hope and Chester. (Currently in Chester's living room)
*Legacy,Hope and Chester are discussing plans for another drug bust*
Legacy: So I think we should go
*The dimension fissure cuts Legacy off when it opens in the middle of the living room*
Hope: What the fuck is that?!
Page 9
*Giant panel of Leo of falling through the dimensional fissure and landing in the middle of the living room staring at everyone*
Legacy and Hope: Who the fuck ?
Chester:*Cuts them both off*: My mom's table!! Dammit!!
Leo:*On the ground tries to activate his Zero Vision. He starts to vaguely see the panels,edits and what appears to be shadowy Zero in the sky*: Zero,where the hell am I ?!
Hope: You got Zero seconds to get the fuck outta here.
Page 10
Leo:*Gets up and looks around at everyone*
Legacy:Look,man. We don't want any problems. We just wanna know how and why are you here?
Leo:*Grabs the pillow on that's on ground and begins to hand it to Legacy*
Chester: Leon,that can't be you?! Is it?
Leo:*Turns to Chester and tosses the pillow at Legacy*
*Leo darts off out the front door*
Hope: Fuck Leon!
Page 11
Hope:*Opens the door and unleashes a stream of water at Leo,who narrowly dodges it*
Leo:What the fuck y'all got powers?!
*Everyone is now outside with Hope building up more water in her hand*
Leo:*Ponders to himself*: I don't know what's going on but Zero,I really hate you,right now.
Leo: So my name is Leo. Not Leon or whatever you called me. I'm not trying to hurt y'all and I just wanna go home.
Hope and Legacy: Not till you give us some answers.
Page 12
Leo: Ok, that's cool. I got this figured out. I landed in a parallel earth where the kids are assholes. They have superpowers…. *Pauses*
Leo:*Points at the group and looks up*: Zero,is this my supervillain origin?!
Hope: Dude,seriously. What the fuck are you talking about ?
Legacy: I've seen this guy before. Let me handle it.*Electricity cracks from his body*
Page 13
Leo: Alright,Static Shock. Let's get it.
Leo:*Makes the Shadow Clone hand seal and looks left to right. None are visible to Legacy.*:Hm…
Hope: Kick his ass,Legacy. We need some information and a new table from him.
*Legacy's ghostly esque mom appears in from him*
Lili Blaze(Legacy's mom): Stinky,we don't know anything about him. Let's put a bit of pressure on him and see how he reacts.
Legacy*:Moves forward and seemingly vanishes*: Got it,mom.
*Wide bottom panel. Legacy comes from the top coming down with an axe kick.*
Page 13
Leo:*Blocks the axe kick with crossed arms but his guard his still broken*: Shit!!
Leo:*Moves back to get space and ponders to himself*: Looks like my powers are nerfed a bit here. Must be more to my connection to Zero than I originally thought.
Lili Blaze:*Once again appears.*: Keep the pressure,boo. The angles are gonna throw him off*
*Legacy Without a wasted step begins a flurry of punches and kicks. Leo is dodging them completely on the defensive*
*Leo grabs both of Legacys' arms and pulls him in for a soul crushing knee to the stomach*
*Close up panel of Legacy's face while taking the knee*
Page 15
Legacy:*God Armor begins to form along his arm*: I don't have time for this shit.
Leo: Aye,bro that arm is clean as hell!!!
*Hope and Chester in awe of Legacy's God Armor.*
Legacy:*Ponders to himself. I have to end this right now,mom. If he's the guy from the fight club he's probably even stronger than this. *
Leo:*Covertly uses his TK(Tactile Telekinesis) to pick up a rock.*: It works!! Now catch!! *Throws the rock which Legacy's electrical aura destroys with ease*
Legacy:*Begins charging an attack that begins to form into a white tiger. Leo bracing himself with a smirk*
Page 16
Legacy:*Launches this gigantic electrical white tiger (Byakko) at Leo*
Leo:*Using his TK grabs the Byakko and easily dissipates it. Leaving everyone in shock and Legacy specifically visibly shaken*
Leo: I need answers,too, Static. *He begins running and leaps up*
Leo: Here's a Showtime Original!!! Quadruple Kick!!
Page 17
*A singular consecutive action panel of Leo landing an axe kick knocking Legacy's head downward as he lands, followed immediately by a sidekick to the ribs launching Legacy away to the left. Leo uses his telekinesis to pull legacy back into a crescent kick that launches Legacy into the sky*
*Leo is about to finish the Showtime Original:Quadruple Kick when he's cut off by Chester*
Chester:*Pleading loudly and desperately*: Leon!! Please Stop!!
Leo:*Looks over at Chester with frustration and runs at Chester faster than everyone can keep up with.
Page 18
Leo:*Appearing in front of Chester and slams him with down with 1 hand wrapped him his throat and the other other pulled up in a fist*
Leo: I'm Le...
*Legacy and Hope now over them both. With Legacy aiming electricity at Leo's head while Hope is aiming a blade of water at Leo's head as well.*
*As this is happening the 2 Invisibile clones reveal themselves each aiming a sword at Hope and Legacy's neck. Creating a standstill.*
Leo: I am Leo!
