[Previously on Phoenix Zero, shortly after the official introduction of Storm Lecvolt in the Phoenix Force circle they're attacked by a giant rampaging mutant spider! Luckily Robin, one of the Risings was able to move it out of the way to the northern outskirts of the royal capital, now as Rising 4 have defeated the mutant with their combined power, a far more ferocious figure stands before them and it's Don Ventus, it's time for another fight]
Meanwhile in a Chaotic Downtown near the northern outskirts of the royal capital….
"Hey, see that on the TV screen?" a chibi shaped black creature spoke to the person who was sitting right next to him, leaning against the half built pillar, rods were uncovered due to that.
"See what?" The golden glowing haired person with turtleneck almost reaching his nose height and an eye covering face mask, replied, swaying his right hand as if he wasn't even concerned about anything of this mundane world.
"Don't you see, the boy's an electro type?" the chibi depicted what he saw on the TV screen inside the low quality restaurant.
"That's none of my concern."
"You told me to let you always know about anyone with electric abilities, it seems like you've forgotten about your priorities." the chibi said to the guy with a poking tone in his voice reminding him of his own needs.
"Many come and go like him, y'know, I'm searching for a specific thing. If I start looking after all the electro types, I might as well lose the remaining of my power which I've been storing for the worst case scenario!"
"He is just not any electric user." the chibi stopped and then added to his previous statement, "He has an arcane emblem and looks like he can't use the full extent of his powers, even so his attacks are damn good!"
"Hum???" the guy now turned his head to face the chibi. "Fascinating, never would have guessed that an arcane is here and activated. Guess I'll be heading out now."
"See, that's why I was trying to seek out your attention. I only say important things that do matter to you, after all I'm your servant!" the chibi gloated at the guy.
"You are really full of yourself, aren't ya lil buddy? Anyways I'll be going there, first to crack open that buffed bastard like an egg, and secondly…." he didn't complete the sentence, just smiled. "Wait for me here until I come back, you got me, Glu?" he asked the chibi by his name.
"I will be sleeping here for now, so no worries, I won't even move an inch!" Glu gave a thumbs up.
The guy stood up, and in a blink with a bright glowing golden sparkle he manoeuvred himself as a flying sparkling line of electricity and went all the way up to the sky.
...….

…..
…
The fight was going on between the 4 of the teens and Don Ventus.
"Hammering Lightningbolt!" Storm used that attack on Don Ventus as soon as he got back up on his feet.
In response Don Ventus just moved his right hand in the right direction and used "Wind Sphere!" and captured the bolt of lightning into the sphere. "Oh, please, don't make me laugh, this is the best you can do?! I have to recruit some really good members into my band. Our quality dropped so low that lowlifes like you even dare to challenge DEADEYES!"
"What is he talking about? You've done something to his men?" Robin asked, wondering what could be the relationship between Storm and the leader of the dark band, DEADEYES.
"I will explain everything later, but now I'd appreciate it if you can help us out here." Storm said while keeping up his diligent attacks.
"Wait just a moment, I've got a plan up my sleeve!" Robin reassured the other three.
Only Storm nodded in response.
Storm, Emily and Jade kept on attacking over and over again, but his wind sphere was overwhelming all of their nonstop attacks. On top of that all of them were running low on their gear powers as they had already used a big amount of energy on the mutant spider, they were almost about to reach their critical stage.
"Come ON, do you have anything other than that sphere, stop defending yourself and start attacking." Jade soon got disgusted by the way Don Ventus was just casually defending himself using the same technique over and over again.
"You guys are tough, I'll give you that, any other day, I'll be glad to take you on, but today you're in my way, I'm here to kill him and him only, I'll set an example of what happens when somebody messes with us!" Don Ventus replied and short after that he slashed his right arm and a massive wave of wind traveled their way which could have sliced them into half if they hadn't jumped out of the way at the right time.
They dodged that attack but another one came right towards them even before they could react, "High Pressure!" Don Ventus used a high air pressure, condensed the air around himself and focused it into his index finger and then bulleted towards them. It sent three of them flying. Just when they were about to fall off, a mechanized giant hand caught them.
"That could have been a nasty blow for you guys, good thing, I'm all charged up now!" Robin came in with his giant mechanized hand to pick them up.
"Good, you're back, but how did you make that?" Emily indicated the mecha hand.
"I always have a gauntlet with me, just in case I run out of any machine around me, I just used basic upgrading of that gauntlet using my gear ability to increase its size and durability!"
"Thanks for that, but this is really bad timing, I barely have enough gear power left! This guy is beating me to a pulp!" Storm wiped some dust off of his face as he spoke.
I might be able to hold them off for long enough, long enough for them to get here…. Robin thought in his own mind.
"I will create a strong gear zone around this place, the gear zone cannot be penetrated if INHUMANE power is not put behind it. With my gear power in a place like this without any mechanical objects around me and with a mini gauntlet I'm at a big disadvantage, this is the only thing I can do. I called HQ for backup, they'll be here anytime now!"
Robin's hand both arms lit up with green mechanical power surging line marks. He placed both of his open palms of hands on the ground and created a 100 meter radius's gear zone. "Now this will hold you off, you can't interfere with the gear zone unless you knock me senseless, which is not possible due to this zone standing a barrier between you and us, FREAK!" Robin put on a confident smile as he theorized the gear zone ability.
Something clattered, it was the sound of the gear zone that Robin casted which was shattered. "There's an exception to everything, your gear zone was strong, I'll give you that, but the more strong the gear power is the more there's the chance that it can shatter another gear zone into pieces, that's just what happened." Don Ventus countered Robin.
"Gear zone: Ventus Force!!!"
"Such power!" Jade looked around herself.
Everybody saw and felt an immense amount of gear energy gathered into one place and spread throughout the entirety of the half kilo radius.
Storm stepped forward, but an extremely powerful breeze was pushing him back. Remnants of lightning sparkled from his body because Storm was putting everything behind his feet to move forward. But the gear zone was canceling out their slim amount of energy which is indirectly causing them getting physically worn out.
It felt to all of them like they were cutting onions, the gear zone was almost creating a windstorm which swept over their faces, making a salty liquid crowd in the corner of their eyes.
"Not yet... I'm not done yet, I have to do it, because I refuse to back down from a challenge!" Storm stated while forcing his way through that strong wind force.
"I knew you had it in you, that's why you had the guts to mess with us!" Don Ventus acknowledged him with a psychotic look on his face.
CRAK CRAK!!!
It was the sound of lightning sparkling nearby, it happened to be on top of the under construction building behind where Don Ventus was standing.
"Impossible, nobody should have been able to penetrate the gear zone that powerful!" Don Ventus startled at the event occurring right before his very eyes.
"You are not wrong, but I do not count among the USUAL anyone!" The one who spoke up was none other than Electron.
.....................
Elsewhere…
Someone sitting in a chair inside a square sized well furnished office room spoke up with gentle male voice,
If you're going to show off eventually, you could have done it a bit sooner, before the backup arrived or even before the time when the kids were putting their everything into the fight, now it's just a matter of formalities, because the PRIMAL LIGHTNING OF ELECTRON can easily outclass oversized villains like Don Ventus!
.....................
Back to the battlefield….
Everyone was in awe, to see a PRIMAL in action, and on top of that, the PRIMAL to be THE Electron, who barely even appeared in any case unless it's something world threatening! What caught his attention to come here?!
"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?!" Robin rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not imagining things.
"Yeah, no doubt about that, it's the PRIMAL LIGHTNING GEAR USER ELECTRON!" Storm said the stuff that he was witnessing.
[Primal gear users are those who are the main source of the element they wield, they're the very embodiment of the 10 elements of the world, 10 elements are plant life, wind, air, lightning, water, fire, earth, light, darkness and spiritual energy. All of the elements have their own section, thus a lot of Gearer get to use the same type of element. But they're always inferior to their primal origin. For example, All of the lightning user's lightning powers are originated from primal lightning Gearer Electron. Being the primal, Electron has the peak of lightning powers as he is the actual embodiment of true lightning!]
"How is he here?! Not that I don't appreciate it!" Emily said.
"Now if you don't mind, could you stand still, mister buffed wind user!" Electron mocked Don Ventus, he seemed way too relaxed.
Electron intertwined both hand's thumbs, index and middle fingers to perform-
"PRIMAL GEAR ZONE: THUNDER DOMAIN!"
A black with golden sparkling gyre overlapped the entire gear zone of Don Ventus, negating all the wind gears from that zone and replacing it with the domain of lightning.
"Now, DOMAIN COLLAPSE!" Just as Electron said that with closing in his right hand's index and middle finger, entire zone shrinked into one spot, the zone turned into a small person carrying sized orb, inside that Don Ventus got knocked out in a blink, his face looks completely pale, all the energy seemed like sucked out of him, completely.
All four of them were in utter shock. Electron ended everything with just a single attack, it was evident that Electron's gear zone was way too different and far more powerful than any normal gear zone! From the way to cast that attack with an odd hand sign, to the result of the attack, everything was definitely different.
"Well, rookies, you really did a great job!" Electron gave four of them a thumbs up, "I gotta leave this place at an instant, fans and press are gonna come rushing to me, can't let that happen! He's all yours, contact the Anti-Black(The military forces of the kingdom). They will throw 'em in the prison, see ya!" Before even completing his words he left the place with the quicksilver speed of lightning!
"Dang! That was just…." Emily was lost for perfect words.
Backups were waiting just outside the previously laid down gear zone. They entered, Kiri was in the backup team as well with 4 others, "That whole backup plan sure was useless!"
"You couldn't have possibly entered the zone, so you don't need to feel bad about it." Jade said, mentioning Kiri.
Another girl with faded ponytail blonde hair and glasses spoke up, "But that was an once in a lifetime event for sure! We don't usually get to see the primals in day to day life."
"Yeah, for real, Britney!" Robin agreed with the blonde.
Emily turned back and looked down on Storm, who was sitting on his one knee, and a small paper was in his hand, "What's that?"
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing, a random paper, thought something was written, that's why I was looking into it."
Even though he said that on her face, he knew it wasn't a random paper, it was a message from his idol, his childhood hero,
"Hey kid, you've got some amazing techniques, you use your powers in a really good way, I took some interest in you, keep in mind that, I've got my eyes on you, you're promising!"
-From Electron ⚡
I'm happy and smiling…. Yeah, I am smiling, never felt happy and smiled like this since my beginning of a life of darkness. Maybe I have a chance to atone for the wind I've done so far in my life after all!
[A battle ended on a high note, even though our Rising Four didn't win by their power, it wasn't all wasted, it was worth a try, a small step towards the future for the Risings, especially for Storm Lecvolt!]
.....
End of chapter 3!
[Also the end of the DEADEYES arc, volume 2 is going to kick off with a new arc!]
