Everything burns, falls down to the ground. Everything is burning! Death came and took everything away from me.
I'm running, running away. I don't know where, but I just want to escape.
Escape from him, this monster... the monster I...
I can smell the smoke, I know that since he killed them, now he's going after me.
Where did I went wrong? What mistake did I overlook? It took me so many years, so many defeats!
It cost me so much, and when I was sure of my victory... my triumph!
So... I'm running. Running without looking away, too scared to even stop to catch breath.
My legs are failing me, my heart is in pain.
Yet I will not stop, not until I finally escape all of it! This hell!
Death, blood, ruins, explosions, death, smoke, blood, death, he's coming, I can hear it! The Grim Reaper is near! The one who is nothing! The one who should not exist! THE ONE I CREATED!
He is near.
I can hear it... I can hear him! He's right behind me, and I can no longer escape. A barricade blocks my way, made of both robots, and humans. I can see it, how the human bodies are disfigured. I want to puke, but I have nothing inside me anymore.
He can hear.
Just sorrow... and regret.
He'll whisper in your ear.
The Red Devil... has come for me.
"IS IT THE DEATH YOU FEAR?"
He awoke, screaming. It was a bit too much, yes, a bit too much for him. This dream he had, so horrible... those visions were haunting him for a few days now. Should Repliroids even dream? He wondered.
Something wasn't right... he knew it. He knew deep down that something was wrong with him.
Yet, he didn't even try to talk about it with anybody else. Not even with X.
He knew he should, but he couldn't. Who was that old man? Why all those deaths? Why did he do it?
Those questions were painfully burning the mind of the red Repliroid.
But there was an another thing that bothered him... those words...
He is near.
He can hear.
He'll whisper in your ear.
Is it the death you fear?
Then there's one more sentence... he knows that it should be there, but he doesn't remember what it says.
Whenever he tries to remember, a chill runs through his body. It's fear... he's afraid to remember.
The one who fears no foe.
The one who fights alone.
The one who knows pain.
The Red Warrior... Zero.
He's afraid, afraid of one thing.
Himself.
"Checking body condition of the Neoroid."
Where am I?
"Body condition stable. Checking brain condition."
What is this place? I can't see clearly... like I'm in a dream.
Is this a dream? Is this real? Where is this place?
A laboratory? What... what am I doing here?
"Brain condition stable. He seems to be in perfect condition."
An old voice... there's someone old there. Who is it?
"So it's a success, then. Is he awake, Professor? Can I talk to him?"
Another voice. Younger, but more... hard, cruel. I'm scared.
"Well... according to the readings, he can hear what we are saying right now."
What's happening? Where am I? Who am I?
"Can you hear me, boy?"
Huh?
"You are the first of many... many, many more. You are a seed, from which a new race will sprout. A New Generation of Repliroids."
I try to move... to react... but I can't. The only thing I see next is darkness. An never ending black void...
Who am I?
What am I?
"Now listen boy, the next words I'll say are important. You must remember them."
Words? What words?
"Remember them."
Yes.
"He is near."
Who is near?
"He can hear."
Who can hear?
"He'll whisper in your ear."
Who'll whisper in my ear?
"Is it the death you fear?"
No. I fear...
"Nothing."
DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES... end
