Hero
Prolog.
The Elf Wars.
(I'm sorry for the first few chapters of this story. They were written at a time when I couldn't get my hands on a word processor. I don't have time to rewrite them or even check them, so one again I'm sorry... I have found a few word possessors thought, and I'm trying to find one that works well, so please bear with me here. Thank you. Your current narrator, Vao.)
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! The alarm rang through what was left of the 17th maverick hunter unit's speaker system. The base had been demolished by a nuclear weapons barrage, while the shield had held the top 50 floors had been vaporized leaving only the troops in floors 1-10 and two of the three operators. "X, Axle! This is….. Alia ca… ether… ou… zer…" X's com buzzed. "cough, Cough, yeah Zero's Cough fine… he." X was cut off by zero barking orders to the few hunters who'd survived the explosion. "Every one retreat to the lower levels, we'll take care of this!" Zero's blond hair flowed backwards in the wind as the moon light shone through the dust illuminating the dark crimson armor. Axle's orange hair lifted itself into X's line of sight. "X your coms still working? Alia is pallet alright?" the younger replodes voice exploding with worry. "Axle? I'm fine… we…sign…weak… Omega!" Zero's head snapped around "Weil's here then?" Zero ignited his energy sword, the light of witch illuminated every thing in a mystic green hew. X, and Axle readied their weapons as a great white light formed in the center of what remained of the hunters tower, "behold how the heroes of the world fall at the hands of the Omega!" Dr. Weils voice boomed for a air ship high above just as the light dissipated to revel the ultimate replod Omega. Omega stood from a kneeling position his white armor shining the light of the fires, moon, and the blades of both his and Zero's swords. The claws of Omega rapped them selves around the hilt of its massive claymore, and took its stance. X raised his arm cannon to the great beast. "Axle get every one out of here." Zero turned around with a look that said, we're screwed, "Me and X will take care of this." Axle blasted the rubble away from the door to the lower levels. "Ill be right back guys." Omega roared and charged towards Zero. Their blades clashed throwing spears of light back and forth across the battle filed. Zero ducked under Omega's claws, which grassed and cracked his helm. X Fired a fully charged shot into Omegas chest it stop him from following up the attack. Zero jumped from the ground into Omega's face, and plunged his sword downwards, leaving in its wake a gash in the white demon's armor. Omega screamed, and raised his clawed hand in the air towards X, in his hand formed a brilliant green light, and in the next instant a blazing red ball of light shot towards X. X rubbed his hand over his head to find that most of his helmet had been blown off by the green blast that was now bouncing off the wall remnants behind X towards Zero. "Zero get down!" X's warning came just a moment to late as the shining green orb crashed in to the crimson knight's back sending him reeling into the remnants of the wall. Zero raised his left hand in the air above his head, and slammed it into the ground crying "RWUZUKAN!" Omega was throne back wards at the explosion of light energy surging around Zero. The armor plates on zeros arm and shoulder began to crack.
Omega shouted in pain at the sudden hole that was created in the chest, and Weil gasped from his air ship as he realized that his greatest creation was about to fall. X jumped forward firing a charged shot at Omega, the behemoth screamed, crashing to the floor. X stood tall over Omega's lifeless body, Zero picked himself up off the floor clutching his arm and looked towards the sky. Dozens of fighter craft were blazing thought the sky towards Weils air ship. "Axle did good this time Zero, maybe you should give him that raise he asked for…" X and Zero both looked at one another. And together shook their heads. "NA, he'd just waist it all on Pallet any way." The two laughed until the first of the hunter fights exploded on Weil's dreadnot air ship's shield. "Damn he was able to get a working version of our shield!" Zero shouted into the night air. "At least we killed Omega right?" X spoke with a sign of relief. But as if on queue Weil's voice began to blast over the night sky once again. "BEHOLD YOUR END!" Omega's corpse began to move once again, "BEHOLD WHAT YOUR WERE INTENDED FOR ZERO! RISE OMEGA GREAT GOD OF DESTRUCTION! RISE OMEGA!" Weil's crazed voice echoed throughout the world. Omega's armor shone gold, and his blade began to glow blood red. "X you up for one more?" Zero said taking his stance. "Only if you are." The two friends nodded, and their final fight began. "Nova strike!" X Fired a golden blast from his buster striate into Omega's chest, coursing the great white knight to take a step backwards. Omega cut thought the smoke blasting it all away with one swing of his sword. "Come….Here….Little…" Zero's sword interrupted Omega's slow speech. "Your mine so live X out of this." Zero erupted into a tornado of blades in an attempt to push Omega back. Their battle raged for hours, the Hunters in the sky died, the solders on the ground died, Weils troops died, innocent Humans and replods died, but the battle still waged on. "X you still alive?" Zero called from the smoke from Omega's copy of Zero's reuzukan, and X's nova strike. "Yeah, barely." X stood back up. The smoke cleared, reviling the broken, but still living body of Omega. "Damn he's tough." Zero fell back in to a defensive stance hardly able to stand himself, Omega rose up to one knee. "Zero I hope you've got a few tricks left." X said collapsing do his hands and knees his armor braking and falling apart at the seams. "whooow, because I've got nothing left." X stood, barely able to support his own weight. "You know I've got 2 left, but I really don't want to use them." X shot his friend a look "Why!" "They were gifts from dad…" Zero half laughed. "And you know the old man, he was always Kill every one, that's not a robot, so I cant say if the first is a safe way to go, and I know that the second would kill every thing in a hundred mile radius if it got away from me." X nodded. "I could see why you wouldn't want to use weapons designed by Wily…" Axle's voice echoed over X's com "Guy's Weil's trying to retreat, and we haven't even scratched the shields yet." Omega began to levitate into the air in an attempt to follow Weils ship. "Axle, move all hunter units away from the target." "But he'll get away!" X repeated Zero's order. "Get out of their Axle," "Fine." X turned to Zero, "what are you thinking?" Zero smiled "huumf, X you light fire works when you win right?" "What the hells wrong with you Zero? We haven't won yet and your letting our only chance to kill Omega, and Weil get away!" "We can't kill ether of them… Omega's repair systems too advanced, and Weil's human. But their not getting away…" Zero gathered himself, he placed his hands firmly on his sword and raised it above his head. "Maybe this will help atone for what I've done." Zero's eyes snapped open and the Z-saber began to glow brighter. "Weil created Omega to be a god of destruction, well I know how you kill a god, X, you summon forth..." Zero brought the Z-saber down screaming "RAGNORROCK!" A beam of emerald light flew forth from the shining arck of Zero's blade, the light froze and shattered every thing in front of it, the remains of the 17th Hunter base, Omega's lower body and both arms, Weil's fights that still remained out side of the airship, the ship's shield, and half of the sword like ship. The Emerald energy blade continued to course thought the sky, and on into the rising sun. "Axle captor Weil and place what's left of Omega's body into a cryotub." Zero callused on the ground. "See X I told you Fire works." X sat down beside his friend, "so witch gift was that?" Zero trough his helmet off and brushed his long golden hair out of his face. "The 1st one didn't think it was half that strong though…" X laughed you had something like that up you sleeves and you weren't going to use it because you thought it would kill every one?" X turned to Zero, but the red hunter was fast asleep, X spoke into his come "Alia I need a medical team up here at once."
6 months later.
X was running down the corridors of a laboratory in the outskirts of the new city Neo Arcadia that was meant to serve as the new capital of the world under X, who'd been elected hands down as dictator for life. They'd sentenced Dr. Weil to an eternity in exile drifting in outer space with Omega. To ensure he wouldn't die they transferred his mind in to a weak replode body. Axle, Pallet and the rest of the Hunters had been placed into hibernation pods for the next 120 years to insure there was a battle ready task for latter on in the worlds life, just in case of the worst. But the worst part of it all had been when Alia signed up to be with the other hunters "Don't worry X it's only 120 years you and I will be exactly the same as we are now when I wake up, and we can be together then, Kay'?"
She had smiled and climbed into the Hibernation pod. X could stand there and watch her sleep. X turned the corner into the mane room in the laboratory. Zero was already hooked into the machines designed to purify the Sigma vise from maverick. "Zero! What are you doing!" the poses of putting Zero to sleep for his hibernation was about half way complete, "You can't go to sleep now, every one else is gone, and I can't lead the world by my self…" Zero turned his head sleepily towards X "X I got to do this, I'm just a threat now, but Ill be back in…in…" Zero turned his attention to the replod sealing him, "Yow doc when will I wake up I can't remember?" the doctor flipped a switch that began to shut down Zero's systems. "102 years, you'll be back…" Zero turned to X the final few systems in his mind shutting down. "See ya in the future buddy…I-I … want to wake up to a world that-t-t-t-tssss in p-p—p-p—p—peace…" Zero's eyes closed and the shield emitters around him sprang to life. "Master X…" The Replod that sealed Zero away spoke, "he asked me to tell you to never revel this location to any one sir." X sighed "I know."
