The battle between Zoe and Lucille begun as Lucille wasted no time setting up giant billiard balls in the arena to launch at Zoe, the scarlet clad dancer put on her masquerade mask as flames started to ignite around her flamenco dress.
"Quite the flashy entrance, let's see if you can dodge pool balls" Lucille unleashing the large balls with her pool cue in several instances.
"Remember Hellcat, a lot of Smash Zone fighting uses a heavy dose of imagination and I can tell that you secretly desired to become a dancer and that's why it gave you this form but it's so much more than just flamenco" Zoe remembering Alice's words stamped the ground and started an intense dance that was creating and shaping flames to stop the pool balls in their place, opening a hand fan to spread the intense heat in the arena which took on the shapes of small birds to break each billiard ball.
The flames then started to brighten into a pink colour before erupting into a sea of cherry blossoms as Zoe reveals herself in a dancing kimono.
Lucille was fighting against the sea of petals as she was shifted by wave after wave of blossoms, Zoe then created two fans and spun them around until they burst into pom-poms as Zoe revealed herself as a cheerleader, Zoe dodged the attacking Lucille as the pool player tried to strike the ever transforming dancer, Lucille began losing her footing as the ground began shaking as a heavy base dropped, this time Zoe became a street dancer with the heavy beats making it impossible for Lucille to stand.
The petals began to dance again this time around Zoe as the blossoms transformed her into a ballroom dancer clad in a pink rose ball gown.
"Damn it, no more" Lucille struggled to fight the dancer.
Zoe gave the most beautiful smile as she took the last remaining pool ball and exploded it like a huge firework revealing Zoe's final form as a sexy Samba dancer revealing the extent of her incredible body to the world with no fear.
Lucille was launched off the ground with fireworks and exploded in the sky spelling out the name Blazing Rose.
"Damage limit exceeded, the winner is Blazing Rose" called the referee.
The performance earned Zoe a standing ovation from the watching crowd, a new Bayside celebrity had awakened.
"I can't be out done by you" Alice walking into the stadium passed Zoe. "I'm proud of you, everyone is" Alice took off her glasses and spoke with her adult voice.
Zoe went to sleep shortly after, smiling the whole time.
"Are you ready to show your true self now?"
Zoe touched the mirror, the reflection revealed the smiling beauty Zoe was always meant to be, the woman Zoe's mother knew she would become. Fearless.
