Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Zeth and Zania

Ok Slade. Why don't you and Daddy fight a little bit. Just until Mommy comes. How does that sound? Yay! Zuri you want to hang out with Chloe and fight with her a bit? Yeah fun! OK. Before we do, we need to meditate. After they meditated they fought.

Wow Slade! You're getting good your giving Daddy a work out. I know. I train more than play. Well, I can see that. So, they fought some more. Zorin got so tired he couldn't block Slade and pinned Daddy down. Zorin said, I give up. Zuki helped Zorin up. Haha! Got beat by your 5-year-old son. How sad. Hey, he's stronger. What can I say? Let's watch Chloe and Zuri's fight.

Zuri pinned Chloe down, she pushed her off and fought again. It went on longer than Slade and Zorin's, but it was getting to the end. Zuri pinned Chloe down. Chloe Gave up. Wow Zuri! Good job! High five! Yeah girl! Ok let's dry our faces off.

Wow! Said Zorin. My kids are good. I need to fight them more. Zorin sat down for a bit to rest. Sapph finally came over and said, Hey everyone. How is it going? Zania? Did you finally loose the bet you and Zorin made years ago? Yes I did. I don't care much for it, but Slade and Zuri said it was pretty. Chloe said it was cool. I have no comment. Sorry. It's fine. I get to fix it in a week. Zorin, really? You had to choose those colors for her hair? Hey it was my decision, and she hates Black. What can I say? Anyway Sapph. I finally fought with our little boy and he won. Zuri won against Chloe. Oh really? Said Sapph. Come here kids. She put both her hands up and said, Give me a high five! Both of you. Awesome job!

OK kids. We can stay for a little longer, then we have to go home. Mommy has some paper work to do ok? Ok Mommy. Said Zuri. After a while Sapph said, Ok kids, time to go. Zorin. I'm taking the car ok? Yeah sure. OK. Kids get in the car. OK Mommy. They ran to the car and buckled up. Zorin honey? Try to be home for dinner ok? OK Sapph. See you in a bit. Hey Zuki! I'm going to check on our prisoner. Be right back. Yeah sure. I'll be here.

He got over to the building, and saw Tsuna leaving. Hey Tsuna. Your shift over? Who's turn is it now? Its Max's turn. OH good. Ok see ya Tsuna. Yeah sure. Zorin went in and saw Max. Hey! Max my man! How are things? I just started my shift, but things are ok. Has he changed his mind yet? Bluefire told me. Makes sense. No he hasn't. I wonder what happened in his life that makes him do such things. Said Max. Max. You just gave me a good idea. Let me in a second. I need to talk to him. Go on in. You have 5 min ok? I'll try. Max opened the door, and saw Boss. Hey Boss. Said Zorin. You must be Zorin right? Bluefire's friend? Yeah. He sent me. He knows I had a troubled passed too. Where I lost someone. I see where this is going. Said Boss. Trying to get me to change my mind. I will hear you out. There is no guarantee I will change it. First, let me tell you tell you about my life? He told boss what happened . When they first found out about my powers, I was in kindergarten. There was an incident where I burned a student. Since then, they as in my parents and brother, kept it a secret, until the fire happened. In the hospital, my brother told me. Like I said, I don't really care. Hold on. I'm not done. I ended up living with Raven and Roxas. My brother ended up with our uncle James, but it was my choice to stay with Raven. It was about 6 or 7 years ago, when I found out about my mark. It hurt like hell when it offically developed, but it did. I'm sorry you lost your sister. Maybe talking about it will help. How long ago did she pass? She passed away when I was 8 years old. Now I am 16. I'm sorry. I knew you looked young. Do you mind if I ask your real name? It's not going to make me change my mind. I know. Just humor me. My real name is Zeth Marsh. So Zeth Marsh. What was your sister's name? She was actually my half-sister, but I was close to her. She had a different last name. Her name was Zania. I can't remember her last name though. She is older than me. There is someone named Zania here. Maybe she didn't die after all. What? Mom told me she did before she died. Do you have any other family? No. Me, Bella, and Kiara, grew up in an orphanage. I'm sorry. About this Zania lady. Zorin said. I will talk to her first, and then I will have her come in and talk to you OK? Please do. Maybe then, I am not saying I am. Maybe I will change my mind. Ok I hope so. Be right back. OK times up. Said Max. Good. Just finished. Max opened the door for Zorin and closed it back up. Well how did it go? I have a plan to get him to change his mind. I will be right back with someone. OK sure.

Zorin went out and found Zania. Hey Zania? Can I talk to you for min alone? Sure Zorin. Be right back guys. Zorin went somewhere close by where no one was, and started talking. Zania? Did you by any chance have a half-brother named Zeth Marsh? Not that I know of. Why? There is someone in the chamber, claiming to be your half-brother. Zorin. What are you talking about? Don't tell me this Boss guy is claiming to be him? I'm afraid he is. He wants to talk to you, before he decides to change his mind about wanting to destroy things. Yes. I will go see him. Let's go.

Hey Max. Zania is here to see him. She will be going in alone. It's ok. Mizuki put up his barrier, he can't do anything. Ok. Go on in then. Zania you'll be ok. Thanks Zorin. She went in and finally got to see him.

So you are claiming to be my half-brother. If you are who you say, who are your parents? I was raised in an orphanage, I ran away. When I was a few days old, my Dad died. I did get his name from the lady though. Mary was my Mother, Skip my Dad. If that is true, we share the same Mom. Where is she now? Why did she hide you all these years? Why did she not even tell me You were alive? She should have told me. I would have ended up an orphan myself. I guess it turned out ok. The people here, and Caster helped me out. I don't know why Mom stayed away. I have a theory though. It was because of my power. What is your power exactly Zania? I suck powers that are thrown at me and use it back against them. That is a cool power. I don't have one. Before Mom put me in the Orphanage, she told me I could just get my powers late. According to the lady. Yeah maybe. Hey Zania? Its really good to meet you. Can I see your Mark? Yeah, Sure. Its fully developed, and its really cool. She lifted her shirt to show the design. Wow it is cool. Also not to long, maybe in 1 month, all of us with the mark will come together and will unleash our special power and cause Chao's. If we get a certain book in time, and read a spell, it can be prevented. Ok I have made my decision. I will stop this villainy on 1 condition. I get to stay with you, and protect you. Haha. Zania chuckled. You may be only half, but you are my brother. I will take you in. I will let you protect me on 1 condition, you go to school. Fine I will. I will let Zorin know. Oh and I have a son named Zayne, who is 2 months old. A husband named Tenma. Wait Tenma? That used to live in the village? The lady told me too. When Master found me in the fire I was in, I had a baby with me. I named him Mizuki. He most likely didn't have one. He has two different colored eyes and white hair. Cool. Oh another thing, before I forget. I did have a twin sister who died. She looked exactly like me. Her name was Tania. I will tell you more about her some other time. I would love to hear. I will let Zorin know ok? Yeah. Nice to know you, finally.

OK I'm ready now. Max opened the door and Zania told Zorin what Zeth told her. Thats really good news. I am going to see what Master and Mizuki want to do with him. Thank you Zorin. Let's go.

Hey Mizuki, Master. Said Zorin. How is it? Zorin you are looking pretty happy. What's going on? Said Zuki. I got this Boss guy to change his mind. Let's go inside. You, me, and Master, can find out what to do with him. Yeah good idea. Zania you should go and see Tenma. Get your little one, go home and rest. Thanks Zorin. I think I will.

Tenma honey. Lets go get Zayne from James house, and go home to relax. Yeah, let's do that. It's been a long day. Also, I have some news to tell you when we do. OK sounds good. So they did just that.

Ok guys. What should we do about Boss guy here? Zorin told him what Zania told him. So his name is Zeth Marsh. I knew the Marshes. Nice people, until Mr. Marsh died. Said Master. I think we can give it a shot, but before we have him living with Zania and the baby, we have to have him stay with the healer Zeth. For his community service, he can decide what to do and will be his temporary guardian. Said Mizuki. Sounds like a deal. Said Zorin. I will go get the head healer now.

Zorin knocked on the healer's door. Zeth answered. Oh hey Zorin. Is everything ok? Yeah its fine. I need to talk. Sure come on in. Thanks. Oh wow! You arranged the place a little. Yeah a little bit. So what's up? OH sorry, yes, there is a boy name Zeth. He is 16 years old, and Zania's half-brother. He needs to do some community service for a while. We were wondering if you can be his temporary guardian. The healer spoke up, Have me decide what he is to do. Well I guess so. OK good. I need you to come meet with him, and take him with you. OK sure. Assistant. I am bringing back a 16-year-old boy. Have a room ready. Yes sir. Ok let's go.

Here we are. Hey Max where is he? Oh he is in the IR Room. Thanks. This way Zeth. You first Zeth. He opened the door and saw a teenage boy. Then Zorin walked in. OK. Now. Let's talk about what's going to happen. Said Master. Zeth. This is the head healer. His name is also Zeth. You will be staying with him for a while. How long is awhile? Said the 16-year-old Zeth. About a month. Little Zeth sighed. Fine. I mean it's not like I killed anyone. That's why you are getting that long. If you killed anyone we wouldn't even consider letting you go. Good point. Another thing. Said Mizuki. Zeth will get to decide what you are to do for your community service. Fine. I have an assistant. Said the older Zeth. He is a little older than you. He is 18. He will keep an eye on you, when I am busy. Fine. Whatever. His name is Quinn. Cool name. OK. When do I start? Very excited to start are we? Said older Zeth. Let's go then. Zorin called Zania to tell her the plan.
