The Great Rabbit Re Zero Novels & Stories

In the far corner, was a messenger— the one who had probably brought the news about the rebellion. “You slapped me, Damien? Why? Because I said you should stop whining about your duties? Or because I told you to stop talking about that bitch?!” Lily immediately stood up, red her flaring about. She looked like a flame, with the way her face turned pink and ears pointed sharp. I was invisible to the rest of the pack members. Entering the hall, no one noticed me. What could have triggered this unrest in paradise? I was amused, I couldn't lie.

The warmth poured into the rabbit’s side, and I felt the strangest thing, the wound knitting closed beneath my fingers, the blood seeming to pull back into the body instead of spilling out. My eyes snapped open. The cut was gone, smooth fur covered what had been torn flesh. The rabbit twitched once, then went moved peaceful, no longer in pain. I sagged forward, trembling, nearly collapsing against the cage. My hands glowed green for one more second before dimming out. The witch crouched beside me, her face unreadable. Then she nodded. “Good, You see? It listens when you command it.” I was shaking too hard to answer.

She’s fast, Zeus growled with admiration. Celeste darted through the trees, weaving between trunks before suddenly stopping and crouching low—a rabbit. Zeus caught the scent immediately. Celeste lunged first, lightning fast. The rabbit barely had time to react before she snatched it up. She tossed Zeus a proud look before dropping it. Zeus huffed. Show off. Celeste’s wolfish laugh echoed through the mindlink. You’re just slow.

Just one. A single line of green text appeared on the main screen. REBOOT COMPLETE. Then, a second line. HELLO, MOTHER. I stared at the screen. Who are you? I typed. The cursor blinked. I AM ZERO, came the reply. AND I AM EVERYONE. I looked at Zero's body. Her eyes snapped open. They weren't white. And they weren't gold. They were black. Absorbing all light. She sat up. The leather restraints snapped like twine.

It looked exactly like Leo Vane, but its eyes were made of "Emerald-Suns." "Hello, 'Zero'," the Giant spoke, its voice a tidal wave that shattered every window in the city. "I’m the 'Alpha-1.0'. The blueprint for everything you are. And I’ve decided that the 'Successor' is a 'Failure'." Leo looked at the Giant version of himself. He felt the small, translucent mark on his palm, the mark of the Zero-Variable, begin to burn with a terrifying heat. "Ren," Leo said, his voice dropping to a whisper. "How do you fight something that has your own 'Source-Code'?"

“Thank you. This is the power of true knowledge. With this mixture, we can heal even the worst injuries.” Kai and Elder Mira exchanged a glance, surprised but waiting to see what would happen next. Then, without warning, the rabbit began to shake. Its eyes dulled. Its energetic hops turned into weak tremors. The creature collapsed on the floor of the cage, breathing rapidly and trembling uncontrollably. Its healed wound reopened slightly, and it let out a weak, pained cry. Gasps filled the hall. The applause died instantly, replaced by shocked murmurs. “What is happening?” someone whispered loudly.

"What kind of crap can he achieve if he is a nobody? What is his new name again?" "The dog shit's new name is Zero!" Lan Quan said loudly. "It is perfect, for that is what he is. A big fat Zero!" The others started to laugh before they heard the fluctuations in the air. Someone had very powerful Ion Energy that ran rampant. *Pop!* Just like that, Lan Sa broke through to a higher Realm. Her eyes stared at Lan Quan boring into the pig's soul. She gave a small finger thrust trying to kill him. "Calm down!" A voice boomed out. Lan Sa's finger deviated just a bit.

Rome squares her shoulders and takes a deep breath. “For the future of the true Luna.” She whispers. In that instant, Falcon morphs back into a huge sandy-colored beast, half man, half wolf, and lunges for her. She screams violently, her sobs echoing through the night as I watch on in horror. She is a lifeless heap on the ground, laying in a pool of her own blood.

The thing which scares me the most is the lack of any emotion on Zero’s face. We all get busy looking at Abraham’s ablaze head, his skin chipping away, leaving the bones and flesh exposed. His body joins the head shortly, breaking us all out of the ruthless trance. Zero hasn’t stopped. He is not nearly done with the originals. And this is going to lead to something disastrous. I croak as Ryker lies me down, patting my head softly as if he is assuring a child that he will be coming back in a moment and I don’t need to worry.

And it did. The rabbit let out a loud, deafening screech that shook The Intertwine to the core. I gasped, pressing my hands over my ears as I crumbled to the ground. A loud ping sound rang in my ears, and my head was hazy and disoriented as I tried to gather my thoughts. That was no rabbit. Rabbits didn’t make a loud banshee screech that could burst someones eardrums. What was it going to do next? Morph into a monster? My eyes managed to peel open, still watery and blurry, and I searched around for Raphael.
