Mega Man Zero: The Beginning

Based on the game Mega Man Zero
Introduction
"The Neo Arcadian Movement"
Somewhere between the middle of the twenty-third century, the hero X brought an end to the near century of fighting elapsed in the Maverick Wars. The victory over the war's initiator, Sigma and his malevolent virus was not without its casualties. The cities built by Man were destroyed and humans and Reploids alike faced death. It was time for the Reploids to help the humans. X thus created the perfect utopia for the humans and the Reploids: the city known as Neo Arcadia.
The city was built as a place of sanctuary for the humans to keep them away from the world of constant war-fare. Its completion came with success.
Somewhere after the completion though, X disappeared. And the world was facing a crisis. Neo Arcadia was doomed without a leader.
The first crisis was dealt with in an amicable and quiet way. The city had its best Reploid scientist create a replica of the great leader. The young scientist claimed it to be a "perfect replica" of X. With haste he took command of the city and government.
The second crisis has yet to be resolved. The energy of the world has quickly been depleted by the Reploids. Their need to stay alive has become a problem for Neo Arcadia. And it is to be dealt with in an extreme and effective manner.
The leader's motion was to be swift. The only solution for the humans was simplistic yet effective: eliminate the Reploids. Their elimination was done with extreme prejudice and soon, many began to flee the city. This moment in history became known as the Neo Arcadian Movement.
Those who fled the city though were still pursued by the government's armies. Leading the attacks was X himself, along with the four generals of Neo Arcadia, each modeled after X himself.
The first unit of the army was the Rekku army, lead by the cold-hearted shrewd green lord, Harpuia. A master at the usage of sabers and flight, his killing is without compassion and will take no mercy upon his enemies. Leading a more airborne assault, his unit is more likely the most mobile attack unit. The leader of the Jin' en Army is Fefnir, a war-loving and fierce red general, commanding the strongest of the four armies, in terms of force. The sea assault conducted by the Meikai army is lead by Leviathan, the sly blue lord. She is swift and fierce, commanding a lance that makes quick work of her enemies. Her power comes from the hate of the discrimination given to her by her fellow generals. She is claimed to be on equal par with even X. And the last of the four generals is the dark, cunning, and stealth commander of Zan' ei Army, Phantom. His devotion to X is noted to be the greatest of the four generals. And his unit is the most cunning and dangerous of the others.
The Reploid population dropped steadily within a month. Those who found peace in destroyed cities formed a rebel alliance called The Resistance. Soon a leader was founded for this small rebellion. A human Reploids Researcher from Neo Arcadia. Her name is Ciel.
However, the Resistance stands little chance to the government. They have suffered many losses and their ego has been shattered many a time. Their end is soon to come unless without some help.
"Zero"
A legend long since forgotten depicts a Reploid who fought alongside X in the Maverick Wars. It's said that he put himself into a state of hibernation in a lab hidden away in a remote jungle. Ciel remembers an old abandoned underground lab nearby where they have set up the Resistance Base. Perhaps this is the lab the legend spoke of. However some regard this legend to be frivolous. The Resistance is skeptical on rather or not to risk their own lives for this legend. Others however, would plea death just find him. The legendary Reploid known as Zero.
Author's Note: Please excuse the halt in updating all of the sudden. I had become unpleased by my original draft so I decided to chunk that one in the trash and start off fresh with a new way of writing it. I would've updated sooner but with exams and stuff going on I couldn't do it. But now that that's all done I can devote myself a little more to my fic.
By the way I'm looking for pre-readers. If anyone would like to get a look at what could come next and find more errors than I would care to find, you can email me. But it's not like anyone's reading this. Still, doesn't hurt to ask.
