Destiny of heroes 2#
Hi everyone, SSA here!
Sorry for the late update, been busy with school work and activities (damn those chemistry lab summary :P).
By the way, big thanks to Destinbir, the writer of "The Blades of the Void"(MMZ crossover ZNT) for his advice and permission to use some of his quotes. ^^
Also, I've been starting another fiction, but this one will be quite unique. It'll be based on my high school life, but with some spice. Yes, there will be a megaman reference in it. Possibly upload in 2-3 weeks, I guess.
Excuse me for some gaps and errors, I'm very very very busy due to my studies. If I have time, I'll come back to fix these errors. Also, it would be longer! XD
Ps. Cookies to the person who understands my profile pic.
Enough talk, have at you!
Neo Arcadia, the human utopia, declared judgments to execute innocent replioids, which are advanced robots that can think and act of its own, to deal with the energy crisis, which was the result of the great "Elf Wars", which wiped out massive amount of human and reploids.
Numerous replioids were the victim of this action, but a human scientist, named Ciel, escaped from Neo Arcadia and created the Resistance, which is a group that opposes the actions of the government. However, they can't stand the military action against them. As hope was falling, Ciel tried to find the legendary hero, Zero, to save the crisis.
As she finally woke him up, Zero joined the resistance base and helped Ciel. Eventually, he encountered Copy X, who is the current leader of Neo Arcadia, and his 4 guardians, Harpuia, Leviathan, Fefnir, Phantom. After succeed in terminating Copy X and met the Original X in his cyber-elf form, Zero still needed to deal with his next commander, Elpiso, who had gone mad and awake the Dark Elf, which was once used in the Elf War, to overpower Neo Arcadia.
After that, he needed to face his ultimate rival, himself. As , the madman who was the main cause of the Elf Wars, used Omega, which was Zero's original body, to take over the world by himself. Finally, Zero managed to destroy his original body with the help of people that he believes in. Even still exist, peace was maintained for some time.
This story continues after the destruction of Omega…..
At the balcony of the resistance base, Ciel is looking up into the dark sky above the sea, filled with sparkling, bright stars and the moon. She is a researcher about cyber-elves and the creator of the CIEL energy system. Pink shirt and skirt are mostly her appearance. Her hair is blonde, tied up with a helmet she usually wears. Her sapphire-blue eyes were watching the night sky and shooting stars that recently starts to shower down. It was a fascinating, yet romantic view, despite the environment shift after the Elf Wars.
It was three days after the events of and Omega, so everyone was celebrating about the victory. As the party ended, everyone went back to their room, except Ciel, who stayed up late to watch the beautiful view. She was thinking back to the events that she first met Zero, and the moments that she had been with him.
"When I woke him up, he was very emotionless, as if he wasn't the legendary hero at all." she thought. "But when I was going to fall down the pit, he quickly rushed up and save me." "Even when I was kidnapped by the Golem, he tried his best to destroy it, without even hurting me. He also comforts me when I was desperate about my past actions." As Ciel thought, her heart started to beat faster and faster. "Could it be that….I love him?" she suddenly questioned herself, showing her reddish cherry cheeks. "That's impossible! He's a reploid, but I'm a human." she sighed. "But that wouldn't stop love, wouldn't it?" she asked herself again.
As Ciel was imagining fantasies about what would she and Zero do if they are in love, a mysterious figure shows up behind her. As it about to grab Ciel on her shoulders, she sense that and turn back to see the unknown person.
It turns out to be no one, but Zero, the legendary reploid, and former commander of the maverick hunters. His hair is also blonde, but more fluent than Ciel's. His armor and helmet are mostly red, along with dark blue parts. His reploid crystal can be seen clearly on his forehead.
As Zero shows up, Ciel quickly turned away due to her recently thoughts, making Zero wonder what she was thinking, but he left that out and moved slowly to the balcony, not too far away from the researcher. This makes Ciel's face glow like a ripe apple.
"Well, Zero. What are you doing here?" Ciel started quietly, after coming back to her normal senses. Zero turned toward Ciel for a second. "I was doing some system check, when suddenly, I sense that something strange is coming this way, so I ran up, that's when I found you." Zero replied, turning back to looking at the sky. "Hmm….. I only see shooting stars, nothing else. Maybe it was just your imaginations." Ciel added, pointing at the area where the shooting stars were falling down, earning some nods from her hero.
"By the way Ciel, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Shouldn't you be resting?" Zero asked, getting Ciel's attention from the view. "Umm, well, I stayed up late to see this view. It's quite rare now days. I mean, look at the stars! It's so bright and shiny. If time could stop, I wish this stays forever." answered the blonde teenage, while lying down on the ledge to have a full view.
"Well, it's sure beautiful, but why wouldn't you called me to accompany you in the first place? It's a little dangerous to be out here by yourself, isn't it?" Zero replied, sitting down on the ledge near Ciel, not knowing what every female think when a male approaches them. Ciel wasn't an exception, so she blushed madly.
Both lied on the resistance base's balcony, enjoying the view of everlasting peace, for now. Suddenly, Ciel's eyes began to shred some tears, as if she is crying. Zero turned his head around and notices those liquid on her face. He grabs the researcher's hand and hold it tightly, getting Ciel's attention to him. "Ciel, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Zero asked, using his other hand to wipe her tears out from her pinkish cheek. Ciel, still sniffing, got up and shake her head, trying to regain her normal composure.
Finally, she starts answering Zero's question. "I…I …was thinking that, in the past few years until now, all we did was fighting. Even though I have fully developed the CIEL system, it won't do any good if stills hold the power in Neo Arcadia. Zero, are we really doing the right thing? I mean, people suffers from 's actions against us and the energy crisis, but if we stop fighting now…I…I don't want to know what will that madman do!" Ciel's eyes are now flooded with steams of tears. Her voice is hardly listenable, as she is sobbing. Zero, who is still holding her soft hand, heard everything.
Suddenly, without any notice, Zero pulls Ciel onto himself, laying her head on his shoulder. Shocked, Ciel don't know what to do, but then she heard Zero whispered "Just let it all out...". After that, Ciel was just crying like a child on Zero's back.
As time passed, Ciel finally stopped cring, but she is still sadden to her thoughts. Zero then pull Ciel up from his back, placing her face in front of his. Ciel, blushed like a ripe tomato, only starred into Zero's eyes. Quietly, Zero spoke "Ciel, I've been in many conflicts and wars since I was activated. Even though I'm still trying to regain my past with X, I still remember one thing. Do what you think is right. Even your comrades turn against you. Even if the whole world turns against you, just do what your heart really tells you that is right." "You kept on fighting against Neo Arcadia to create an everlasting peace because you think that it is the right thing. Leave the fighting to me, I'll handle these things myself."
After hearing Zero's word, Ciel was smiling happily with her tears still falling down. She then raises her arm to hug Zero at the waist. "Thank you, Zero. Thank you for comforting me. I never had anyone to express my thoughts besides you. My parents…they…they are no longer here to help me out, but you, Zero, you really are my hero."
Ending that, Ciel was asleep on Zero's body. The maverick hunter sat still, letting his commander enjoy her slumber on him. Zero then looked up into the sky once more. "No matter what happens, I'll help Ciel to restore the world like she wanted, because she believes in me, and I also believe in her." At last, Zero looked at Ciel again, now fully asleep. He put his hand on her helmet, patting it and whispered to Ciel "Sweet dreams, Ciel". This made Ciel unconsciously blushed and smiled a bit. Finishing that, Zero closed his eyes, continuing with his system check once more.
Meanwhile, the shooting star that Ciel noticed crashed in the desert not far away from the resistance base. As smokes from the impact falls out, three figures could be seen unconsciously in the crater.
Note: Some say that Roll should be with Rock (1st chapter), due to "Megaman Powered up". I also think like that in the first time, but when I read the manga "Rockman Gigamix", it shows that Roll has a crush on Forte. So I decided that I'll stick to the manga version, and this pairing is a tribute for someone I know that wrote a Rockman book. (it's called "ตำนาน ร็อคแมน", google it if you want to know more)
