While everything went back to normal not everything was the same Uiharu found out about Rinka and almost every day she visits them whenever she has time
Zack just lets it happen as he is thinking of his enemies and Seth and how he acted and looked
Zack: new age it seems they knew dad they hated him for me being alive and seek to sacrifice Anna and Rinka to rewind time to before he died or before I was born
Zack: and Seth, he didn't seem to remember anything of before until the end he really was the same boy Seth Yamato the long lost son of the Yamato family and Luna's brother I didn't think he was the other half I also heard of the new organization called ARK
And when he looked at the railing he saw the whole city and then he thought for a couple of seconds and just said
Zack: you know what fuck it let's do this
And then he jumped off the railing as he was in the air he thought about the city
Zack: Academy City the city of science or as I like to call it the city of chaos as it is a city full of corrupt scientists, abilities that can kill just as fast as it can save others, and the only place that is full of science run by a mage I know its crowley beast666 that runs this place and that he is keeping kamijou in check I'll have to find a way to dethrone him
He put a letter to Uiharu on her door and left to go get Anna and Rinka and went to a garden of some sort as they waited there Zack remembered his first meeting with Uiharu.
Flashback
We see a Zack who is in middle school walking around as he keeps looking back like he knows something is behind him when he turns around a very young Uiharu is seen hiding from Zack behind a tree
Zack: I know she is there but she really isn't even doing anything so I think it's fine to leave her be she isn't a threat so it's fine
Zack: Plus I need to hide who I am so I need to keep my crest with me I can't begin to say how many times people have asked and tried to take my crest my power keeps acting for no reason not sure why
Later a couple days later Zack noticed that Uiharu wasn't following him but just when he was about to question it the girl passes him and hides in a Bush after she started hiding 3 scientist came up to him
Scientist 1: hello kid have you seen a girl with artificial flowers on her head we need her to answer some questions
Zack saw her face she looked scared and he looked back at them and saw nothing but madness but it was a kind that was aimed at him but he didn't care he only thought about protecting the girl who looked out for him in a weird way
Zack: yea, is it just some questions or do you intend to use her for your experiments she was running away from you three so you either tried to force her or you tried to get her to do experiments
Scientist 2: we only want to ask her some questions about the son of Garon Yoshikage as we noticed that she was looking for information about the son of Garon or could you possibly be his son
Zack: sorry to disappoint you when you think your so close my name is Yuichiro Orion people call me Yu but the girl went right behind you and she's running
All 3 scientist looked back to but they saw nothing not a single girl as they looked back to tell him no one is there Zack was nowhere to be seen
Zack and Uiharu were seen in a abandoned building as they let go of their breaths Zack just started laughing about the facts that the scientists believed him when she was just standing still there Uiharu then started to ask him some questions
Uiharu: whole I am thankful for your help I need to ask why did you help me
Zack: isn't it normal to help others I don't see a problem with it
Uiharu: well I guess you make a good point Zack Yoshikage
Zack: so you know who I am I see but I have a question for you why are you looking for information about me and why were you stalking me
Uiharu just started to blush red while Zack was normal but if you look closely you could see some shades of pink on his cheeks
Uiharu: you see you are different from anyone else you have the look of any level 0 but you sometimes snap and your powers activate and it's never the same one it's like you have a different power every time you activate it as well you never took the power curriculum
Zack: So you know about that yea I used my connections to make sure I didn't take it I thought no one noticed oh well so what are you going to do now you can just tell everyone the truth
Uiharu: if I do that you will be targeted by everyone until you become captured before I do anything can I see the crest I know I read about it before every Yoshikage has a crest
Zack: and if I do show you my crest what will you do with it you could easily just steal it as well as sell it
Uiharu: I need your help with the scientist from earlier ever since I found out about you they have been chasing me I need stop them can you help me with that
Zack then thought about most of his life his mother who wished to make peace with both sides his father who while never really talked with Zack that much he wanted this senseless violence of magic and science to end and then there was Zack who wished to change the world into a world of peace he was even willing to use himself as a bargaining chip to make peace
Zack then looked back at her and saw no sense of hostility and only saw kindness he never saw kindness like this since his family and whenever she visits Kamui and so Zack made his decision
Zack: ok fine I'll help I can see you don't mean any harm I feel like I can trust you and if they aren't left alone they'll cause problems for my family
Zack: I guess we should introduce each other you already know but my name is Zack Yoshikage and in the city I go by Yuichiro Orion nice to meet you I am also known as the unknown actor
Zack Yoshikage: the Unknown Actor
Uiharu: my name is Kazari Uiharu I hope we can be good friends
Kazari Uiharu
Zack: oh and before I forget here is my Crest if that's what you want to call it
Uiharu: what is that I've never seen anything like it
Zack: well it's called a wayfinder I guess you can call it a charm more than a Crest it represents a unbreakable connection from what i heard my father based the charm from a fruit so what exactly is the first step
Uiharu: well we need someone with information all I have is this
She hands Zack two papers containing info on the people who she wants to meet
Yin Sakai
Age: 25
Nationality: Japanese
Occupation: scientist
Blood type: A negative
Lea Vermillion Sakai
Age: 24
Nationality: American and Japanese
Occupation: ???
Blood type: B positive
Zack: wait you want to meet Yin well ok I mean he isn't like every other one so sure lets do this
later on the duo would walk around trying to find info before they can arrange a meeting with Yin over the time Uiharu started to get better on hacking until the day came the day that would change everything
Uiharu: forgive our intrusion
???: it's fine I did agree to talking with you I am Yin
Uiharu and Zack were finally able to meet Yin and Lea all that's left is just stopping the hunt and search for Zack Yoshikage but it wouldn't be that easy
Yin: so you are Yuichiro Orion or should I call you by your true name Zack Yoshikage
Zack: so I assume you know why we are here
Yin: yes but how did you know I am trustworthy i could have easily killed her and captured you for experimentation but I am a reasonable man Lea can you take the girl with you to the other room
Lea: hey your name is Uiharu right?
Uiharu: yea but how do you know
Lea: well thanks to Yin here we know almost everyone here in academy city so I wanted to ask you some personal questions in the other room is that ok
Uiharu just nodded and they both left the boys just stared at each other for a minute then Zack spoke up
Zack: so what did you want to talk about that Uiharu can't also hear
Yin: what do you know about the world outside the city
Zack: well just that a world that holds unknown powers but very similar to esper abilities but hold some sort of difference between the two powers
Zack: I also know that there are plenty of churches that people worship in the outside world I heard all this from my mother
Yin: ah yes Mikoto Yoshikage well she is mostly right but the unknown power is known as magic there are differences between them there are rule breaking powers there but the cost is even stronger than the power itself
Yin: magic is everywhere even in this city
Zack: what do you mean by that
Yin: the board chairman of this city is a magician if I remember correctly he is the strongest one
Zack: wait your a scientist so that means Lea has to be
Yin: that's right a mage from our research we found out the chairman's magic name is Beast666 I also know about the lost amaksa church as I like to call it the way of the sword I am holding on to the hope that he Beast666 will one day be dethroned
Zack: I still don't know how much I can do but I will keep fighting for a better future
Yin: you hold an unusual power one that can help us take him down I shall do my part and free you from your prison in exchange you must do what you can to cause chaos and throw off the chairman
Zack nodded his head and when he left he met up with Uiharu who was bright red for some reason but later the 3rd scientist from a couple days ago came and attacked Uiharu but it did not go as he planned as Zack took the shot for her
When he saw the scientist he only saw madness and insanity as well as a demon he felt a slight fear but when he saw Uiharu he noticed something and asked
Zack: why are you crying for someone like me
Uiharu: because you got hurt because of me if I wasn't here you wouldn't have gotten hurt
Zack: hey it was my choice if hadn't stepped in you would have gotten hurt so I'll make him pay for both of us
As Zack was getting up he heard a voice
???: you would torture a poor soul for the sake of one girl you really are like me
Zack: who are y- no what are you
Duma: my name is duma and I am you or to be more precise I am the being that resides within you I am the first half of the wild card
Duma: beast of the first half of the wild card
Zack: what do you mean I am just like you
Duma: it's a long story but you want to protect those precious to you right
Zack: yea I'll do anything to keep them safe
Zack: what was that well doesn't matter if I can get stronger then then who cares about the price I'll pay for it
Duma just laughed and Zack's wayfinder shined
Duma: you really are like me as well as Garon but it doesn't matter so you will use whatever means necessary to defend what is your home
Zack: yea I'll even dethrone the leader and protect the them from those who wish to do them harm
Duma: very well then protect them from the world change the shape of the city to save them from everything
After that Zack got up and the scientist started to attack again but it never hit and soon Zack's eyes started to shine a bright yellow and a black wing started to take shape behind him and a sword materialized on his hand
Zack: your no scientist none of them would have power like this
And he was right the scientist was actually a magician but he started to use magic to hit Zack but the sword sliced the magic and it disintegrated after that Zack started to approach him and then sliced the mage in half
But before he can finish him a strange man appeared behind the scientist and looked at Zack with no fear and even started at his eyes
???: I apologize Zack Yoshikage but I can not allow my ally to be killed just yet but trust me I will let them know the price for doing something like this again
Zack: So your saying they did this behind your back
After that understanding he deactivated his power
???: yes especially this one we where tasked on keeping an eye on you for your family but we were never told to try to attack you he was always like this always trying to get ahead of everyone else
Zack: well then make sure they know to never injure anyone close to the wild card Zack Yoshikage
As the man left he saw Uiharu just woke up as she passed out from crying as she saw Zack just fine she started to hug him
Zack: calm down I'm not going anywhere
Uiharu: I thought you were going to leave me
Zack: how about this a promise
Uiharu stopped hugging him and cleared herself
Uiharu: a..a promise?
Zack: yea
Zack then made a eastern sword materialize and placed it stabbed the ground with it as his eyes glowed yellow the sun shined on the exact area they are in and a overlapping magic circle appeared behind them and Zack's voice changed
Zack: From this day forth I am the one who will protect this city from all harm and no matter what happens I shall always come back to you for I am Zack Yoshikage also known as Schwarzer this I promise you Kazari Uiharu
Then Uiharu started crying but not of sadness she was happy that he promised to always come back to her
Uiharu: I accept and I promise that I will never leave you and always trust you no matter what
Flashback end
Then Uiharu arrived to the garden then they looked at each other while Anna was next to Uiharu, Rinka was next to Zack
Uiharu: I'm glad your back you haven't forgotten now have you
Zack: of course not, I may have a lot of things to be busy but I'll never forget the Schwarzer Vow after all I made that myself and you also kept your promise
Uiharu: I did promise to trust you no matter what and I will keep believing in you no matter what
Zack: about that other thing I'm not ready for it just yet maybe later in the year but not yet I also see you kept the place well
Uiharu: of course this is a place you showed me I'll keep it good looking
It was true this was a beautiful garden known as the Garden of order a garden that was made in a isolated area this originally was a experiment of Garon Yoshikage to see if a garden can grow in the city in a isolated area
And soon they started talking about their lives but Zack is aware that this is not the end of his journey as he was the unknown Actor as well as the Schwarzer to Uiharu and Joker to the world he vowed to get stronger soon
He went back to his family's house and as he was searching he saw a note containing a red blade
"If you are reading this I am dead I wish that this world wouldn't be too cruel to my family but that is the price I payed so I shall never stop and neither will my family, the organization New Age is a group focusing on my revival what they plan to do with me I do not know but I shall give you a warning they are not just scientist there are also mages and they worship me like a god, my son may be the only one to stop them as he holds the blood to stop the ritual but the child i saved long ago is the key to activating the ritual as well as stopping it the old god that granted them ogre power is used for the ritual called the great Twilight please if you can stop them make sure you do this used to be a weapon of mine use it well it's name is Insulator"
Zack: old man what exactly have you done and how much do you know about it
(And that shall be all, this was an ova chapter, I will also have an extra chapter explaining Cloud and more of his relationship with Saten as he will also be a part of this story that anyways that shall be all my name is viperslim90 and that's it see you guys later)
