User blog:ZackAttackX/Ella Mental and the Passing of the Torch



After leaving Zomboi and rushing off, Zack finally reached the hill overlooking his home village. Once at the top, he looked down, and didn’t want to believe what his eyes revealed to him. What was once a small town brimming with flowers and nature had become a smoky wasteland, with only a few survivors remaining, trying to recover from the slaughter. Zack quickly rushed down towards the village, searching for his friend. “Ella? Ella, you here?” he called out, inadvertently breathing in smoke. The admin quickly covered his mouth, coughing heavily. It was at that moment when the figure resembling a Braixen stepped out from behind a building. The figure was none other than Ella Mental, Zack's best friend, almost like a sister, and she was pointing a sceptre in Zack’s direction. “Whoa, slow down! It’s me, Zack!” he protested. Ella’s eyes widened at the sight of Zack, and she quickly rushed over to him and the two embraced each other.

“Thank god you’re okay!” she said, almost with a relieved sigh. Zack gently patted her on the head. “Of course I’m okay. Wish I could say the same about Sunset Village, though. Thought it was menna be lovely this time of year.” Zack said, letting Ella go. The vixen turned towards Zack. “I saw you, or, I saw your shadow. He began destroying the place, talking about a new world. What’s going on?” she asked.

“I’ll tell you what’s going on. Peep thinks he’s being clever.” Zack spat. Ella was confused. “Wait, Peep? What did he do?” Zack then explained everything that he knew to Ella. About Peep’s absence and sudden reappearance. About the initial clone he fought in front of the headquarters. About the battle that he had with Peep, and later Zomboi. Then he mentioned Black, and what he aimed to do. Ella fell silent, slowly walking up to the field of flowers that she and Zack used to play in when they were younger. “And this is all it costed, huh?” she said, a tear forming in the corner of her eye. Zack looked back towards Ella, catching onto her sorrow. Then a voice echoed from the smoke.

“A small price to pay for my aspirations. I hope you understand.”

Zack and Ella spun around to find the source of the voice, and sure enough BlackAttackX strolled out from the smoke, an evil grin plastered on his face. “YOU!” Ella yelled, immediately drawing her weapon, Destiny’s Eye, while Zack summoned an electrical sword to his hands. Black didn’t even flinch. “Very soon I will have the entire world under my thumb, and there is not a single soul that can stop me. So you can consider this your first and only warning. Submit now and I will allow you to live as pawns in my master plan. Rebel, and you will be eradicated.”

“Ella?” Zack said. Ella looked over at Zack. “Remember that promise I made all those years ago? About how I’d keep the world safe from evil?” Ella nodded; she remembered very well. “Welp, time to make good on it!” he said, pointing his blade towards Black. Ella smiled and activated the Fire Orb on her sceptre, also readying herself for battle. “So be it.” Black snarled, summoning a dark battleaxe to his hands.
