Three months ago, Zero was still the true ruler of Dimension 0. He gave rights to the citizens of Dimension 0 to enter their past dimensions as spirit forms to cheer for their friends and family.

Dimension 0 <Zero>: Temple of Zero (3 months ago):

The beautiful blonde girl stood before Zero, "Lord Zero, I would like to enter my past dimension, Dimension 2921, Shigatsu Kimi No Uso"

"Of course, I see you're cheering on your friends as usual huh?"

"Y-Yeah, I want to see how Kousei is doing, it really cheers me up seeing him work so hard in being a pianist"

"I see, you're free to pass, I just summon the portal for you"

Zero projected a dimensional portal before the girl, "Enjoy your visit, remember to return within three hours"

"I will, thank you Lord Zero" the girl showed her gratitude and smile brightly before she entered the portal.

The citizens of Dimension 0, loved Zero. But one day everything changed...

The night came; the wind was as chilly as the night before. Zero looked over the data and began to calibrate the dimensional light.

A small long shadow crept to the ceiling of the chamber just above Zero. A strand of slime dripped from above landing on Zero's shoulder. But when he looked up, the shadow fell onto his forehead and buried itself into Zero's head. Zero screamed in agony as the pain increased as the creature buried itself deeper inside his mind.

On the next day Zero shut the life crystal in the Capital City Astroth and conscripted the people of Dimension 0 into joining his army. Any who questioned were locked away and awaited for the brainwashing process.

Dimension 0 <Zero>: City of Kikorowa:

The three girl hid the in the abandoned warehouse as they watched the conscripted soldiers dragging the citizens away into a caged carriage.

"This is unacceptable, Saber, we must do something about this" said the girl as she continued to nibble on her cookie snack.

"I agree Kurome but he's protected in the temple at the moment"

"But what happened to Zero? He's a completely different person now than he was yesterday"

"I would like to know too Kaori, he was a great leader, I acknowledged him of being the ruler too, but this... it's unforgivable..."

"Saber, we'll attack tonight, a surprise attack is all we need, I can distract the guards while you head in there and take care of Zero"

Saber became silent as she thought of the many outcomes. She could be captured and made to conscript others or worse, Kurome would be killed or captured. But too many things were at risk to worry about herself.

"I'm counting on you to distract the guards, Kaori stay here and don't go out no matter what"

Kaori and Kurome nodded.

"Leave it to me" said Kurome as he equipped her blade.

Dimension 0 <Zero>: Forest outside Temple of Zero:

Kurome parted ways with Saber according to plan. Kurome attacked the East side of the Temple while Saber infiltrated the West side.

Saber watched the soldier at the temple entrance from the branch of the tree and waited until they left the entrance for Kurome.

She entered the temple and walked cautiously through the corridor toward the main chamber. She peeked through the small opening of the door and saw Zero programming something on the control panel of the Dimensional Light. A bad vibe flew through her body causing her to take action immediately. She prepared Excalibur and griped the hilt tightly.

She kicked the door open and leaped into the air, with her sights set on Zero. The blade of Excalibur headed toward Zero.

Zero reactively dodged the strike and separated himself to Saber.

Zero glared at Saber, "Don't interfere"

"This has gone far enough, release the people at once"

"Release them? I have a big plan ahead for them"

"A big plan?"

"Yes... I'll need them to invade other dimensions"

"You want to dominate all the other dimensions?!"

"Yes... and no one shall get in my way"

"What happened to you Zero? You were a proud ruler, but now... now you're just a tyrant"

"Enough talk prepare yourself"

Zero equipped Kyoukai Breaker and charged at Saber. Their swords clashed, Saber deflected the attack and swept Zero down onto the floor. Zero gritted his teeth and landed a stab just missing Saber's vital organs near her stomach. She held onto her wound, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.

She instinctively returned a slash across Zero's chest. Zero screamed in pain as he crawled out of the chamber, "I'll be back, you will taste my vengeance"

The weakened Saber no longer had any strength to go after him.

Moments later, Kurome entered the chamber and found Saber unconscious on the floor.

On the next day, Zero was nowhere to be found, the citizens of Dimension 0 cheered for their hero Saber who accepted the role of Zero and kept peace of Dimension 0.

Dimension 0 <Zero>: City of Kikorowa (2 months later):

Zero's spies infiltrated the Capital City Astroth, deactivating the life crystal before the true attack began. Soldiers invaded the City of Kikorowa and took many citizens hostage without triggering any commotion. Saber formed a defence line at the Capital City Astroth as a last line of defence for Zero. But the outcomes weren't as Saber had expected, with one mighty slash of Kyoukai Breaker, Zero wiped out the defensive line of the Capital City.

"Run Saber, I'll hold them off" Kurome shouted as she fought off the Zero's soldier, "Go, go! Don't look back! Just go!"

Saber retreated to the Temple of Zero and entered the Dimensional Light.

After the complete domination of the Capital City Astroth and the City of Kikorowa, Zero announced to all the citizens of Dimension 0, "Citizens of this dimension, I am Zero, you will all join my forces of Requiem and invade other dimensions. Any who defy my command will be brainwashed... or executed"

Upon hearing the speech, Saber activated the Dimensional Light and summoned dimensional portals to certain dimensions to summon their best warriors to help stop the crisis.
