It all started on 6/24/2140, near the end of the Nightmare Incident. The City of Central Point had buildings repaired. One building to Maverick Hunter H.Q. Repairs happened, someone watched H.Q in awe. His armor was brown with black markings. A tool belt was around his waist. The boots were rectangle shaped with a yellow stripe in the center. His forearms had twisted white bandages. The plain round helmet had a blue crystal shield on the forehead. In his eyes, the view of Maverick Hunter H.Q. was amazing. "Come on Lavoro!" Someone yelled. (Lavoro looked down to see other Reploids at the ground. Among them was a tall bulky Reploid. He had navy blue armor with a white bodysuit. His helmet looked like a hard hat with a red square gem. His forearms had grey stripes with the boots with red circle gems. Gripped in his white gloves was a steel beam. Lavoro jumped down, landing onto the navy Reploid's steel beam. The young Reploid looked at the navy Reploid) "Angus, what did you want?" Lavoro asked. "Our work times over, everyone else left." Angus explained. "Oh, (Lavoro noticed no one was around) sorry for looking at the building." Lavoro apologized. "Don't worry, I've done that for a while." Angus said. (He placed the beam down and Lavoro got off. The two walked from the building as the sun was setting.

Walking through town, a few Reploids moved around. Broken buildings had the roar of machines) "Hey Angus?" Lavoro asked. "Yeah, what is it?" Angus asked. "Do you think this Nightmare will end?" Lavoro asked. "Don't know, we just have to repair the buildings for when the humans return." Angus explained. "Yeah, let's hope that the Nightmare doesn't attack." Lavoro said. "I'll protect you, with strength, I'll beat them!" Angus yelled. "Are you sure?" Lavoro asked. "You bet, and I'll protect you from them." Angus said. (Lavoro nodded as the two headed for a tall building.

Inside of the building, there was a counter with a Reploid. Near it was an elevator and both Lavoro and Angus went inside. The doors closed and the elevator went up. It then stopped on the fourth floor. The doors opened up and the two got out. Both Lavoro and Angus passed by doors in the hallway. They stopped to a door with a number 4086. Lavoro looked at his belt and pulled out a golden key. The brown armored Reploid opened the door and they went in.

Inside, the room was big with white walls and tan carpet. The furniture was a steel table with two chairs. Near the door was a black coat hanger. Near a balcony was a T.V. with two bean bags nearby. Angus sat down on a beanbag, grabbing the remote, he began to change the channels. Lavoro removed his tool belt and placed it on the coat hanger. He watched Angus changing the channels.

Hours passed and it was near 11:00 PM. The only light in the room was the T.V. Angus noticed Lavoro missing) "Must have went to bed." Angus sighed. (He yawned before turning off the T.V. The Reploid got up and turned on the lights. There were two doors, one was behind the television. Angus went into the door.

Light crept into the room, Angus heard Lavoro) "Close the door Angus." Lavoro moaned. (The navy Reploid turned on the lights in the room, causing Lavoro to scream) "Lavoro, just go back to sleep!" Angus yelled. "Fine, just turn the dang lights off!" Lavoro yelled. "Whiner." Angus whispered. "I heard that!" Lavoro yelled. (Angus sighed and turned off the lights. He went into the bedroom and fell into bed) "Night whiny head." Angus thought. (He fell asleep, while hearing Lavoro snoring.

The next morning, Angus woke up seeing the sun's light. He was sleeping on a bunk bed's bottom. There were wires disconnected to his left arm. Angus didn't hear Lavoro like he usually does. The Reploid got out of bed, looking at the top bunk. He didn't see Lavoro and the door open. Angus left the room and saw Lavoro's tool belt missing. A nearby clock had 10:42 AM) "Oh no, (Angus ran out of the room, heading for the elevator) I'm late!" Angus yelled.

While Angus was heading for the building, Lavoro was on a rising steel beam. Everyone looked around, hearing Angus' yell echoing) "He found out, maybe I should've woke him up." Lavoro thought. (He smiled as Angus ran in the building. The Reploid gripped onto a worker) "Where's Lavoro?" Angus yelled. "Upstairs." The worker moaned. (Angus passed by him and went up the stairs. The Reploid glared at Lavoro) "Your dead!" Angus chided. (Lavoro looked down and panicked. Angus ran up more stairs and jumped onto the beam. A rope supporting the beam was swinging. Lavoro saw Angus with a snarl) "Hey, calm down Angus, I'm sorry that I didn't wake you." Lavoro apologized. (Angus gripped Lavoro) "Your a dead Reploid!" Angus chided. "Angus, let's just begin working, alright?" Lavoro asked. "No." Angus chided. (He punched Lavoro and he slammed into another worker) "Back to work." Angus thought. (He became silent as a worker helped Lavoro.

Two hours passed, a floor had new walls finished. Everyone was on the ground sitting on benches. There was a radio playing) "The Nightmare is almost over, Maverick Hunters have found the cause!" The radio said. "I'm glad we're almost done with these false dreams." Angus said. said. "Yeah, speaking of which, did you dream of anything?" Lavoro asked. "No, you dreamed of something?" Angus asked. "Yeah, I saw fire consuming everything, even you." Lavoro answered. "Did anything else happen?" Angus asked. "I saw someone, a Reploid with wings, he said something, but I woke up." Lavoro explained. "Sounds bad, but it's just a dream, I'm sure nothing bad will happen to us." Angus said. (He felt a hand to his shoulder. Angus noticed a Reploid wearing a worker's gear) "Angus, I was getting complains about you this morning." The Reploid chided. "Oh, sir, Lavoro failed to wake me up." Angus said. "No excuses, you help to get these beams upstairs, you work till midnight." The Reploid ordered. "Please Boss, why are you doing this to me?" Angus asked. "Angus, both the world and humans need us." The Boss explained. "Okay Boss, sorry for my yelling this morning." Sam apologized. (The Boss had walked off. Everyone had began to laugh) "Oh Angus, you got to get in trouble again!" The other workers said. (Angus had his head to the table) "Dang it Lavoro." Angus whispered. (The break time was over and everyone began their work again.

It was 12:00 AM, the moon shined. Angus sighed as he lifted a beam upstairs. Making it to the roof, Angus felt wind. Looking around, the navy Reploid noticed another Reploid. It was kneeling behind a chimney) "Hey, are you okay?" Angus asked. (The Reploid glared at Angus. It wore black armor with a cloak. Hands were on the upper side's left. Oil blood was visible, Angus took a step forward) "Stay back." The Reploid whispered. "Listen sir, there's nothing to be afraid." Angus said. "Look who's here." Someone said. (Both Angus and the Reploid saw a bird Reploid flying in front of the moon) "You again." The Reploid muttered. "Hey, what's going on?" Angus asked. (He saw the cloaked Reploid dashing away. The bird Reploid flew closer. Angus swung the beam, too early. He felt a wing hit hit stomach. With that ram, Angus fell down the building. The winged Reploid heard the shattering of crates) "Now then, (It noticed the black armored Reploid running) it's your turn." The bird Reploid muttered. (It flew after him, leaving Argus.

Meanwhile, back at the apartment, Lavoro sat on a beanbag. He was changing the channels) "Great, nothing on." Lavoro said. "Angus, it's already twelve, what's going on?" Lavoro thought. (He stopped at an action movie) "War of the Phoenix, my favorite!" Lavoro cheered.

After a while, the lights began to flicker. Lavoro looked around) "Must be a storm again." Lavoro thought. (He got up and went for a part of the wall. There was a metal box and the brown armored Reploid opened a door. The lights turned off and glass shattered. Lavoro gripped an energy pistol from the box and aimed. He paused as there was moaning) "Oh man, who's there?" Lavoro thought. (The lights turned on to reveal the figure. It was a Reploid wearing black armor. The Reploid had a blue diamond gem on his helmet, two ear pieces like diamonds with red gems. His cloak had gray and a purple diamond. On the upper chest was actual armor. His forearms and boots were purple. On the left side of his chest below the shoulder was oil blood. It looked up to Lavoro) "Help me." The person moaned.

(Lavoro went to this person) "Are you alright?" Lavoro asked. (He looked at the Reploid's face, red eyes with two triangles on cheeks) "Can you help?" The Reploid asked. "Yeah, let me take a look at that wound." Lavoro said. (He looked at the Reploid's side and saw a deep cut) "It hurts." The Reploid muttered. "Calm down, I'll get you to my room." Lavoro said. (He dropped the pistol and picked up the Reploid. Lavoro took him to the bedroom. The Reploid lied down on the bottom bunk) "Thank you, but there's nothing you can do." The Reploid muttered. "No, just let me help you." Lavoro said. "Why, (The Reploid saw Lavoro inspecting the cut) why would you help me?" The Reploid asked. "I care about others, I may not be a doctor, but I know how to treat your wound." Lavoro said. "But what can you do?" The Reploid asked. "Let's clean up that wound." Lavoro said. (He ran out, leaving the Reploid to look around) "I hope that the Mavericks don't find me." The Reploid thought. (He heard water running and it stopped. Lavoro came in with a washcloth) "Here's something to help." Lavoro said. (He placed the cloth onto the Reploid's side. Lavoro saw the Reploid snarling) "It hurts, sorry." The Reploid apologized. "Calm down, I'll seal the wound." Lavoro said. (He moved the cloth away and placed it above Angus' bunk) "How can you seal it up?" The Reploid asked. (Lavoro smiled as he unwrapped his bandages) "Don't worry, I'm healed, Angus gave them to me, so I want to give these to you." Lavoro explained. (He placed his bandages on the bed. Lavoro got the person to kneel up and he began to warp the Reploid's wound) "Are you sure about this?" The Reploid asked. "Don't worry, these help seal wounds till you can get repairs." Lavoro explained. "Thank you, technology has improved, hasn't it?" The Reploid asked. "Yeah, my name's Lavoro, and I'm a worker, Angus is my friend." Lavoro introduced. "I'm Nero, I've knew what kindness could feel like." Nero introduced. "I never knew anyone would say that." Lavoro said. (Nero looked away, now doleful) "I'm glad for that." Nero muttered. "It's alright, (Lavoro tightened the bandages on Nero) there, just give it time." Lavoro said. (He moved back as Nero stood up. Oil blood stopped escaping and Nero felt the wound getting sealed. Nero looked at Lavoro) "Thank you, I promise to never forget this." Nero said. "Your welcome, I hope that nothing like this happens to you again." Lavoro said. "Don't worry, I'll be okay, sorry for breaking your window and stain your carpet." Nero apologized. "I can clean it, for now, just be careful." Lavoro said. (They heard the shattering of windows) "Stay back." Nero ordered. "What's going on?" Lavoro asked. "The Mavericks are looking for me." Nero explained. "No, we've got to hide!" Lavoro said. "Lavoro, if I ever see you again, I'll say hello." Nero said. (He ran off into the main room. Glaring at Lavoro, he jumpped out of the window. Lavoro rushed to see Nero falling into the darkness. Something swooped down after him, forcing Lavoro to move back) "Nero, be careful." Lavoro thought. (He remained silent.

Meanwhile, Angus had gotten up from remains of crates. He saw steel beams impaling the ground) "Dangerous Maverick, but who was that other figure?" Angus thought. "It was in pain, Lavoro, what will happen to him?" Angus asked. (He got up and dashed from the site.

Angus made it to the apartment's entrance. The doors opened up and the navy Reploid noticed broken windows. He went inside and rushed for the elevator. Angus entered and heard screams. There was yelling from Reploids within the apartment) "What's going on?" Angus thought. (The elevator door opened up and Angus rushed out. He stopped at his and Lavoro's room door. Angus knocked and gritted his teeth. He noticed other Reploids, Maverick Hunters, all investigating. The door opened up and Angus saw Lavoro. He had his energy pistol, but the bandages were gone. Angus went up to Lavoro and went in. Lavoro closed the door as Angus saw the broken window) "Angus, your back." Lavoro said. "I know, but what happened?" Angus asked. "A Maverick broke windows of the building." Lavoro explained. (Angus saw broken glass on the floor, but there was a thick sent of oil. The navy Reploid saw Lavoro's arms. Sealed cracks was once where the bandages were) "Where's your bandages?" Angus asked. "I don't know, their missing." Lavoro guessed. "Alright then, lets try to get some sleep." Angus said. (Lavoro nodded, his face was of concern. Angus pushed Lavoro onto a beanbag. The navy Reploid noticed an oil blood trail leading to the bedroom. He walked for it and opened the door. There was a trail to the bed. Both beds smelled like flowers) "Lavoro, what did you do?" Angus thought. (The door opened up and Lavoro came in yawning. He climbed up the bunk and fell asleep. Angus sighed before tip-toeing to bed. He went into bed. Thoughts were of blood and bandages.

It became morning as the sun rose. Lavoro got up and placed the pistol on the covers. He jumped down and heard Angus snore. Ignoring these noises, Lavoro went into the other room. He saw the oil blood and sighed) "Time to clean up before Angus finds out." Lavoro whispered. (He went into the bathroom. Within the cabinet was cleaning devices. Lavoro got out the wipes and sprays.

Angus got up with a yawn. He rose from bed and saw Lavoro spraying from a bottle) "Lavoro, what are you doing?" Angus asked. "Oh, just cleaning up the glass." Lavoro explained. "Right, what's with the blood?" Angus asked. "Blood, I didn't see any." Lavoro guessed. "Are you lying to me, I saw it all over the place!" Angus chided. "There wasn't any!" Lavoro yelled. (He snarled at Angus) "Fine, I'll go to work and you fix up the place." Angus chided. (He scooted and slammed the front door. Lavoro plunked the bottle and got a broom and bucket) "Dang it Angus." Lavoro muttered. "So he knows about what I hid." Lavoro thought.

Angus was snarling as he worked. Placing a heavy roof tile, Angus's glare scared others) "He must've snapped." A worker muttered. "Larovo, where is he?" Another worker asked. "Cleaning." Angus chided. "Sorry Angus, hey, did you see any blood on the roof?" A worker asked. "Yes, I hit the ground after that." Angus chided. "Okay, let's just get back to work." A worker said.

After a while, Lavoro made it to the site. The building was complete and the workers were at the benches. Angus snarled at the sight of the brown armored Reploid. Lavoro sat next to him) "I'm sorry Angus, there was blood and I was such a bad liar." Lavoro apologized. "I see, so we both saw blood." Angus said. "You sure about that?" Lavoro asked. "Last night, I saw a Reploid with black armor, his side bled." Angus said. "I saw him myself, the same night, he crashed into the apartment." Lavoro explained. "Is that why your bandages are gone?" Angus asked. "Yeah, a Maverick bird chased him." Lavoro explained. "The same imbecile that knocked me off the building?" Angus roared. "Interesting, well, he told me his name and I can't say." Lavoro said. "How come?" Angus asked. "He didn't want the Mavericks to find his identity." Lavoro explained. "Alright then, I'll let you off the hook." Angus said. "Whew, who knew that would work." Lavoro thought. "Thanks, now that this building is over, where do you want to work next?" Lavoro asked. "What are you guys going to do?" Angus asked. "There's a smelting plant near the outskirts." A worker said. "Why do you want to go there?" Lavoro asked. "Cause their paying with Zenny to help with the garbage." A Reploid answered. "How much?" Angus asked. "A thousand!" Another Reploid explained. "Amazing, can you show us where it is?" Lavoro asked. "Yeah, we just have to wait till the Boss says goodbye." A Reploid explained.

After a while, the Boss finished his speech. Lavoro and Angus walked across the city) "That was long, took forever to get done." Angus said. "Yeah, at least we have more opportunities for jobs." Lavoro said. "So which job should we do next?" Angus asked. "That smelting plant sounds like a deal, we could make lots of Zenny!" Lavoro said. "Maybe we should apply tomorrow, celebrating that building's rebuilt is more important." Angus said. "Sounds great, but it'll be your fault if we miss out the job." Lavoro said. "Promise me, we'll get the job." Angus said.

The next day, smoke was rising from the edge of the city. A large building had exhaled smoke from tall pipes. Looking at it was Lavoro and Angus) "This is it, our new job." Lavoro cheered. (Angus smiled and patted Lavoro on the head. The brown armored Reploid knocked on two metal doors and backed up. The two big doors opened up and they went inside.

There was the thick scent of smoke as everyone went in. Steel tunnels had conveyer belts leading further down. Pass the halls, was a huge room of furnaces melting scrap. A few Reploids were working, picking up scrap and placing others on the belts. Stairs led up to a cube shaped small house. No where else to go, they went up.

Inside the house, a tall Reploid was looking upon charts. He had blue irises and thin black lines on the cheeks. Gray ear pieces had thick black lines on the front. The baby blue helmet had a silver triangle on the front. Covering his body was a silver coat. His gloves were white and baby blue feet parts had light blue lines. He walked around the walls, ignoring the Reploids. Another Reploid was following him. This female Reploid had brown irises, covered by a lime green visor on her helmet. The copper ear pieces had lime green gems. Her helmet had a copper square on the forehead. She wore a metallic dress with lime green details. Her forearms and boots were copper with lime green gems. She noticed the two) "Mr. Steel, we have visitors." The female Reploid said. "Huh, (Steel turned around to see Angus and Lavoro) visitors, not at a time like this." Steel said. "We just wanted to get a job." Lavoro said. "We know that, but Mr. Steel will have an important call." The female Reploid said. "Do the job applications with them Copper." Steel ordered. "Yes Mr. Steel, (Copper turned to see Lavoro) let's go outside." Copper said. (Lavoro nodded and the three left Steel.

Outside, Copper closed the door) "Forgive me, that was rude, wasn't it." Copper apologized. "Hey, there's nothing wrong, its just business." Lavoro said. "Your right, (Copper moved her hair) thanks, can we begin our tour?" Copper asked. "Tour, this is just the main room!" Angus said. "No, you haven't seen all that the place offers." Copper said. (She walked, letting Lavoro and Angus follow) "How do you make Zenny from this place?" Lavoro asked. (Copper looked to a few Reploids picking scrap) "They examine scrap that may seem useful." Copper said. "Sell off that useful scrap to get money?" Angus asked. "Yes, but other materials are to help research for Reploids." Copper explained. "Interesting, so are there any more parts to this place?" Lavoro asked. "Yes, just follow me." Copper cheered. (They walked off to another part of the smelting factory.

After a while, the tour ended, with the Reploids outside of the room with Steel) "Tour's over, that was nice." Lavoro said. "That's nice, I'm sure Mr. Steel has finished his conversation." Copper said. "Right, I'm liking this place." Angus said. (Copper opened the door and went in. Steel looked at Copper) "Copper, I was wondering what you were doing." Steel said. "It's nothing sir, but Lavoro and Angus want to get a job." Copper said. (Both Reploids came in) "I see, but your going to sign these papers." Steel ordered. (He gave Lavoro and Angus papers. Both Reploids read, with Steel handing them a pen) "Thank you sir, I promise to do my best!" Lavoro said. "Of course we will, thanks Steel." Angus said. (They both wrote the papers and gave them to Steel) "Okay then, I'll see what I can do, wait till tomorrow." Steel said. "Right, we'll see you then." Lavoro said. (He waved as him and Angus left. Steel looked at Copper) "I think things are going to look brighter." Steel said.

Lavoro was typing on a computer while Angus slept. "Five months passed, me and Angus have been making a lot. Copper and I have been getting feelings for each other. How strange, but we've been doing good. Even through life's great, I still have concerns. The Reploid from before, I wonder if he's still hiding from that Maverick?" This was on the computer's screen. Lavoro heard Angus snore and decided to call it a day. He shut off his computer and went to bed.

Everything was normal as buckets of scrap moved around. Lavoro placed some scrap into a bucket and Angus took it away. During this work, an explosion occurred. Reploids hit the ground as scrap went flying. Bright sunlight entered the room and there were screams. Hiding, the Reploids dared not to get caught by Mavericks) "Where are you Maverick?" A Maverick yelled. "Someone's here?" Lavoro thought. (They began to fire onto the conveyer belts) "Come on out weakling!" Another Maverick yelled. "We don't know who your talking about!" A Reploid yelled. "That Maverick with the black armor, he can't hide forever!" Another Maverick yelled. "Black armor, Nero from long ago?" Lavoro thought. (Angus got up and threw a bucket of scrap at them. It slammed into a few Mavericks, they retaliated and fired at Angus. A few Reploids tried to escape, Mavericks blockaded the entrance. They shot at the Reploids, causing mass panic. Angus kept throwing at the Mavericks, but more shots pushed him down. Lavoro's eyes widened as a Maverick gripped him by the arms) "You, tell us where he is!" The Maverick yelled. "I don't know what your talking about!" Lavoro answered. "Fine, slaughter the rest!" The Maverick ordered. (More plasma shots hit the innocent Reploids. Up above, Copper and Steel watched) "What do we do?" Copper asked. "The Maverick Hunters are coming, but what's going on with Lavoro?" Steel asked. "Oh no, their killing everyone!" Copper said. "Stay down Copper, block the door and hide." Steel ordered. (Copper nodded as they both got the desk to cover the door. She went to the window and saw something chill her oil blood) "Copper?" Steel thought. (He went up to her and they both saw Lavoro and Angus getting thrown into an incinerator! Copper covered her eyes and sat down. Steel ducked and hugged her) "Everything's going to be okay, we'll make it." Steel whispered. (They both heard the roar of Reploids getting slaughtered.

In the furnace, Lavoro felt his armor getting melted. The damaged Angus grabbed Lavoro and pulled him up towards the opening) "Angus, what are you doing?" Lavoro asked. "I'm getting you to safety." Angus moaned. "No, I'll die before you can do it!" Lavoro yelled. (Angus' face had melted off to reveal his skeleton. The Reploid smiled and threw Lavoro out as he melted to nothing.

Up above, something watched the killing of innocents. "They were after me, there's nothing I can do." Someone thought. (He and the Reploids saw a melting pile of scrap slam into a wall. Lavoro's arms and legs melted off and he wasn't moving) "Those remains, Lavoro." Someone whispered. (Mavericks went closer to the remains) "Dead, tried escaping from the fire, what can we do with the rest of you?" A Maverick asked. (A charge shot had hit the ground. Everyone looked to see Megaman X. He aimed his buster at the Mavericks) "Your terror ends here." X said. "We have hostages, are you willing to kill them?" The Maverick asked. "We have other plans." X muttered. (The Maverick looked confuse, but Mavericks died by slashes. It was Zero, he looked at the Reploids and they ran off. The single Maverick began to laugh) "What's so funny?" X asked. "Well, at least I can kill you both." The Maverick muttered. (He revealed a button and pressed it. The furnaces exploded and it caused a sea of fire. X and Zero got up the stairs to the box with Steel and Copper. Zero slashed through the door and they slipped in. Inside, both Steel and Copper huddled together) "Steel, Copper, come on, we have to leave." X said. (Copper got up, shaking as X grabbed her. Copper looked at the remains of Lavoro) "X, please take us away." Copper moaned. "Right, come on Zero." X said. (Zero nodded as the four teleported away.

In the sea of flames, Lavoro's remains survived. Jumping across platforms, a black armored Reploid looked around. He found Lavoro nearby. A smile appeared on his face. This Reploid jumped around and made it to Lavoro. He picked him up and looked at his preserved face) "You don't have to die today, rest for now, rise from the ashes, Rosso." The Reploid whispered. (He walked into the flames as sirens blared.

Lavoro opened his eyes. He was on the floor, feeling a massive amount of weight on his body) "Am I dead?" Lavoro thought. (He tried to look around. Everything was white, no one was around) "Angus, Copper, Steel, where am I?" Lavoro asked. (He tried to push himself up, but nothing worked. Lavoro noticed a thick orange collar around his neck. Red railing was around it) "What's happened to me, why do I feel so, strange?" Lavoro thought. (He heard a noise, a door opened up to bright light. A shadow stepped in. The light dimmed down for Lavoro to see a person. It was Nero) "Rosso, your awake." Nero said. "Nero, what did you do to me?" Lavoro asked. "I saved your life as an act of kindness." Nero answered. "Why can't I move?" Lavoro asked. "It's time you take a look at your new form." Nero said. (He revealed a mirror and Lavoro's eyes widened. Gone was the brown and black, now orange and red. His forehead had a 'crown' with a green diamond. On his back were wings, his forearms were massive, with one having a golden ring) "I look like a freak!" Lavoro yelled. "I can't turn you back, your old body is too damaged." Nero said. "What, no, please, you have to!" Lavoro begged. "Your friend Angus is dead, you forgot about his sacrifice?" Nero asked. "No, (Lavoro shut his eyes, remembering Angus' face melting off) please help me." Lavoro begged. "I will help, if you can get up." Nero said. "I can't, my body's too heavy!" Lavoro yelled. (The black armored Reploid turned around towards the door) "You have two weeks to get up." Nero said. (He closed the door, leaving Lavoro alone) "Why, why couldn't I join Angus in the afterlife?" Lavoro cried. "It's all over for me." Lavoro thought. (He shut his eyes and went to sleep.

Two weeks passed, Nero was walking through a hallway. On his back was a large sword) "No sign of him, he didn't make it." Nero thought. (He went to a door and it opened. Lavoro was still on the ground. Eyes closed as if asleep) "Perhaps you, aren't the one." Nero said. "I wished to see you smile." Nero thought. (He grabbed out the sword and aimed it at Lavoro) "Farewell, I'm going to miss you." Nero said. (He lowed his sword down, but something grabbed it. Nero saw Lavoro gripping the blade, standing up) "No, not yet." Lavoro said. (He smirked before punching Nero. Throwing the sword away, Lavoro gripped the black armored Reploid) "You tricked me!" Nero yelled. "Indeed I have, explain everything to me!" Lavoro demanded. "Fine, just let me go, Rosso." Nero said. "Rosso, I'm Lavoro, now start talking!" Rosso demanded. "Okay, (Lavoro let the Reploid go) "I was looking around to find a new soul for that body, that's why I was in Central Point." Nero explained. "Why'd you choose me Nero, we meet one time." Lavoro asked. "Because we were both at the same place, I also felt you were the one." Nero explained. "Was it from what I did at my apartment?" Lavoro asked. "Yes, I still feel warm from that, and I'm glad to say hello." Nero said. "You still haven't forgotten that." Lavoro said. "Yes, but, are you comfterble with this?" Nero asked. "My new look, I feel as if everyone would label me Maverick if I claimed myself to be Lavoro." Lavoro said. "Everyone labeled you and Angus dead, where do you want to go now?" Nero asked. "I don't know, Angus, my best friend is gone, I'm a freak now, (Lavoro looked at Nero) what should I do?" Lavoro asked. "Yes, do you want to be my friend?" Nero asked. (He reached his hand out for Lavoro) "Everything of the past is in the dust, your previous life is gone, I'm willing to help." Nero said. "Maybe your right, (Lavoro looked at his hands) promise me, that you'll be my friend." Lavoro said. "Don't worry, I will never leave you." Nero said. "Okay Nero, (Lavoro shook Nero's hand) thank you for this body, I just have to get used to it." Lavoro said. "I can teach you how you can accept your new body." Nero said. "Sounds great, but, why did you call me Rosso?" Lavoro asked. "Since you've risen from the ashes, why not give you a more fitting name?" Nero asked. (Lavoro looked at his hands) "Rosso does sound nice, and no one will remember Lavoro." Rosso said. (Nero went for his sword) "Want to leave this room?" Nero asked. (Rosso nodded, waiting for his new friend to follow.
