User blog:ZackAttackX/Zack vs Black - A Dispute With Darkness

(Cues Pokemon The Rise of Darkrai Soundtrack - Kami to Yoba Reshi)

Location: The Colosseum

The decision was made – Zack was to confront his nemesis while Zomboi stayed behind and attempt to revive Peep. Zack rushed into the arena and sure enough, his dark duplicate was stood there, seemingly expecting him.

“You sure didn’t take long to find me.” Black sneered. Zack skidded to a halt at the opposite end of the arena as Black simply stood, arms folded and with a devilish grin on his face. “Well, you do leave an awful mess.” Zack responded. “So what’s the deal with you, then?”

“I have nothing more to explain to you. Peep created me in the hopes of replacing the original ZackAttackX with someone more worthy of the role of admin.” Black began. Meanwhile, a horde of several BlackAttackX clones emerged from the shadows and surrounded the battlefield. Zack glanced around, somewhat taken aback by the sudden development. Black continued. “As you can see, this experiment was tedious and took many attempts, but finally he was able to create a new lifeform, superior to the original Zack. He created… me!”

Zack took a moment to string together this information. “You still seem troubled.” Black noted. Zack took a breath. “I still don’t understand though. Why did he feel like he had to replace me? And why did you feel like you had to replace him?”

Black smirked. “Believe it or not, I have the same desire as you.” Zack looked up at Black, confused. “You know as well as I do that this universe is rotten to the core. People say and do as they please, without any concern for how their actions affect the balance of things. It is broken beyond repair. This is what I hope to accomplish, Zack. Listen well. I will use my power to burn this wiki to the ground and eradicate all traces of life. And from their ashes, I will construct my own new and improved universe, which I and only I will control.”

The look of disbelief on Zack’s face immediately fell to a look of concern. “You think that is what I desire?” he spluttered. “A universe controlled by a madman built from the blood of my friends?” Black spat in disgust. “This is precisely why he wanted you gone. Your compassion is a weakness. A weakness that has been exploited over and over.” Zack gritted his teeth, his eyes focusing on the floor. “You know what I mean, don’t you? You were hoping to leave that man behind when you came here, the man who gave up everything for everyone, and wound up with nothing at all. But here’s the truth, Zack. When I look across this colosseum, I don’t see my predecessor…” Black stared, noticing Zack’s anger beginning to show.

“…I just see Adam.”

Zack’s eyes widened. He looked straight into his nemesis’ eyes with a look of shock. Black stared back, with an emotionless expression. Then after a few seconds without words, Black smiled.

Zack’s blood began to boil, his heart began racing. Bloodlusted, he summoned a fiery battleaxe and lunged for his doppelganger with a roar of rage. Black simply called a dark battleaxe to his hand and swung for the parry. As the attacks collided, the clones surrounded the arena and blocked the exits. Nowhere to run. No retreats. No excuses.
