"Hell?"

Kara raised an eyebrow,

"Quiet literally and figuratively."

Zion answered, his voice weak.

Kara wanted to question his answer but she remembered the horrendous creature in a fiery pit, the millions of souls that cried in agony and the eye of the demon filled with lust for violence. She still felt goosebumps as she remembered it.

She had seen many things since she stepped foot on this planet, from a changeling to God, but demons irked her senses. It was a repulsion and disgust.

Since she got her answer, She turned to the other bed where the child was sleeping. Her face held a frown, groans of pain escaped her lips. The kid seems to be in pain, but kara didn't move to check on her. The kid was brought from Hell by Zion, not exactly the trusting.

"Rach-*Bluh*

Zion flipped to side, vomiting black substance all on the ground. The Black viscous liquid splatted everywhere. Kara immediately took a step back, covering her nose from the foul smell that emanated. The black substance had the scent of decay and death, it was as if something was ding in the room.

Kara turned her focus to the origin of the substance, her sight looked beyond the cover.

The sight made her frown as she could see black spreading through Zion's veins. The black substance was his decaying blood. The black blood infected every one of his organ, slowly killing them. She could see Zion's immune system and the nanites try to stop the spreading, only for them to be unable.

Only Zion's heart and brain remained unaffected. His whole defense was at full power to protect his vital organs.

Yet it would fail, soon.

"You are dying," Kara stated, her voice not changing a color.

Zion coughed a few time and wiped his mouth clean. "I.. know,"

He could feel his death approaching, his senses were getting duller and duller. He was already loosing sensation on his fingers and he couldn't even smell the foul smell that permeated the medbay. Trigon's final attack was not just hellflames, but mix of evil curses. He shouldn't have let his guard down with Raven.

The demons spawn is still demon.

It was fine, the final attack had aimed for his soul, a SoulBownd's soul is indestructible. But his body was in a dire state. He need to heal his body ASAP.

Being a SoulBownd came with many advantage. Knowledge of Millions, Skills of the Masters, Power beyond Imagination, and Etc. Yet unlike others, his weakness came in the form of physical body, reason for the presence of Omnitrix. To cover his weakness.

He could be considered the opposite to Kara, who was physically indestructible...

However his worry was that he wouldn't be physical enough to punch people. He was chill with floating around as a soul and going though wall are all cool but they were not his style. DC already have one Deadman.

Zion sighed and turned to Kara, "Seems like I won't be around to ask you out on that Date. It was nice working with you."

"You have a way to heal yourself," Kara folded her arms, she was not buying Zion's dying BS.

Zion was dumb enough to jump into Hell but he was not dumb enough to not have a way to save himself. And if he was dying, his weird watch should do something.

"Ayya, Can't you be a little more sympathetic?" Zion voice as he summoned Destiny to his side.

"I would rather you die than deal with your annoyance," Kara stated true, moving close to Zion. "However, I have been taught to help."

Zion chuckled as he willed the White light to heal his body.

The white light turned to small threads that infiltrated his body. The threads divided further and further until they were only thick as an Atom. The threads then began to weave themselves into his organs. His black organs slowly turned white as white light revived them. Soon his insides were glowing white as all his organs were revived with white light. The spreading curse could do nothing against his new empowered organs.

His heart pumped with strength as it looked at his Liver, "Hey, Liv. Are you cleaning the curse from his blood."

Liver replied. "I am trying, but they keep multiplying."

"Oh yeah," Heart looked a bit dismayed.

"Man, I am trying to filter his dead blood but its chocking me," Kids replied.

"I am about to burst," Blader shouted, "Kid stop sending all your crap!"

"Okay, okay," Kid answered and stopped.

"Good, if you didn't he would have wet himself before the girl," New voice added.

"Brain, did you figure out a way?" Heart asked.

"I do," Brain answered.

Okay, lets stop goofing around!

"Sorry, I am still too young to die," Zion replied as he pulled himself up from the bed.

He hoped down from the bed, nearly stumbling and falling face first. However, Kara moved to support him. She caught Zion by his collar and kept him from falling.

"Thank you," Zion said as he steadied himself. "Can you let go of my collar?"

Kara nodded, "Now, which way to go?"

"To the elevator," Zion answer,

Kara didn't wait and carried Zion toward the Elevator, still carrying him by his collar. Zion hung on her hand like a kitten caught by his mother. They crossed the bed Raven was sleeping on, the reading on her vitals pulsing irregularly.

Zion knew that she would be fine once he deal with a little raven.

Kara carried Zion into the Elevator and pushed him to the controls. Zion place his palm on the controls. First his fingerprints were scanned than his iris. The system confirmed his authorization, allowing some top secret stuff.

"Take me to Jerry," Zion said to the controls.

["Authorization code!"]

"Lethal Option!" Zion answered.

The screen went green before the elevator suddenly plummeted. The speed of descend was akin to an orbital drop, yet Kara stuck to the floor with her TK. However, Zion was flailing like a kite on her arms.

After descending for minutes, the elevator came to a sudden halt. The hand would have made anyone feel like their intestines were pooped out, but Zion's enhanced body and Kara's Kryptonian physic were able to handle it.

The doors opened with a slight buzz of air, revealing a lengthy corridor with many glass windows. Unlike the castle, the walls here were deep blue like the oceans with many childish scribbles on the wall.

Kara carried Zion by the collar as she explored the corridor.

She turned her gaze into the first room, the glass window revealing a disk that just floated about at the center. The second room had green goo that kept bouncing off at high speed. Third one had a green exoskeleton armour. Forth, a glowing red great sword inscribed with ruins. Fifth, Sixth and all that followed held a single item. They didn't seem to be for show but rather sealed.

Kara couldn't any of them but she could tell that they were Zion's creations.

With that she arrived at the end of the corridor. Zion knocked on the door three times and waited without a word. The door opened a moment later, allowing them entry. Kara step forwards without question.

Inside the room was... something unexpected.

The room was filled with small tunnels extending all around the room, chew toys thrown around, turning wheels and balls. At the corner were treat dispenser. The squeaking sound soon entered soon entered her ears, alerting her of the occupants of the room.

Mice, of different color, looked out from their hole and gazed at her. Their eyes seemed intelligent as they seem to analyze something as they looked at her. Kara was clearly unnerved by the tiny creature that looked at her without fear.

"Hey, guys," Zion waved his hands.

The mice began to squeak all round before they seem to calmed down. Soon, one small mouse walked forwards and stood on its two legs. Zion looked at the mouse and pulled out a small treat from his pocket and offered it to the mice.

"Buddy, where is Jerry?" Zion asked the question, only after the mouse accepted the treat.

The mouse squeaked before puling the treat away. The other mice also vanished with the mouse that was carried the treat.

Kara watching all these was profoundly unnerved and turned to Zion for answers. "What did you do?"

Zion shrugged, "I didn't do anything."

"Really?" Kara was infuriated. "The rats were intelligent and you are telling me that you got no hand in it. And what was that offering?"

Zion scratched his cheeks, thinking how to answer. "Well, I might have hand in the growth of their intelligence, but I wasn't the one."

"Because, it was I, who gave them intelligence," Another voice answered.

Kara who was already on alert snapped to the voice, yet she could not have expected what she was to see. A flying mouse the size of her palm, its fur glowing blue. One its chest was a black tattoo of hydrogen atom. That rat was floating on the air as it gazed at her and Zion.

Kara's sense were very attuned as she could sense that this rat was not to be trifled with.

"Jerry, my guy," Zion cheered. "How you been doing?"

"I am fine," Jerry answered politely, "Yet I could not ask you the same."

Zion chuckled, "Yeah, I know right!"

Jerry nodded, "What would you like me to do?"

"You know what," Zion answer in cryptic.

Then Zion turned to dust and the Omnitrix fell to the ground with a Cling.

Kara turned to her hand which was still in the holding position but Zion was now dust on the air. She could see his atoms floating about. His body was turned to dust faster than she could ever react and Zion was gone.

Kara strained her neck towards Jerry. The mouse just floated in air without any kind of expression. Kara, however, decided not to react. From the conversation, Zion knew this would happen to him.

"What did you do?" She questioned.

"His body was already far gone," Jerry answered monotonously.

Kara then saw Zion appear again, his body fully reconstructing atom by atom. The process was instantaneous. But Zion only looked human from the outside, his insides were different.

"He would survive," Jerry spoke.

Zions brain was evolved, his neurons were firing in an accelerated phase. They were evolving as they received more data. His bone and muscles were similar to hers, dense and compact. He now had two hears, his lungs were larger and more efficient in processing oxygen. His RBC was bigger and thicker while WHC were like aliens skimming through space.

Zion's body was no longer human, he has evolved.

He then floated down to the floor and laid unmoving. Kara could see his heart beating and his brains firing. Confirming his changes, she turned to the floating rat.

"What are you?" She questioned, she was guarded against everything Zion created.

"I am Jerry Manhattan," He answered.
