Mega Man Zero Resurrection
Chapter 1
A Hero Awakens
"W-what are these monsters?!" A solder screamed as the golem neared them.
The troops fired at the huge weapon of war and their bullets merely ricocheted off of its thick armor. After the golem stopped in front of them it ponderously moved its head and a laser cannon was revealed from where its throat should have been. The green beam shot towards the Resistance soldiers and easily destroyed them. After it had smitten the solders there it continued to move.

"A dead end?"
"No I detect a powerful energy inside." Passy disagreed.
"Alright then stand back Ciel." A soldier ordered.
An explosion destroyed the wall and they moved into the chamber that had been sealed for so long.
"You go ahead I will take care of them." One of her two guards said at the entrance.
They ran inside and on in the center of the room two Reploids rested. One male and one female; the male was kneeling and tenderly held the other. His armor had some damage to it but, she recognized him quickly. He was…
"Zero…"
"We have found him at last!" Milan exclaimed in exuberance.
He neared the two and suddenly he was pushed back.
"It's protected." Passy explained.
"What should I do?" Milan asked aloud.
As he said those words they heard a scream of pain behind them. Another resistance soldier had fallen… The blue pantheon soldiers raised their arm cannons at them and one of the numerous enemies fired at Ciel. Milan quickly jumped in the way of its bullets and began to shield Ciel.
"We have to evacuate now!" Milan growled as he fired at the hoard of oncoming pantheons.
"But…" Ciel looked at the red Reploid.
"We have no time to argue!" Milan stopped her in mid sentence.
This turned out to be a lethal distraction. Another volley hit the already wounded soldier and he crumpled to the ground.
"Milan!" Ciel cried and dropped to her knees next to the fallen soldier.
"Ciel…" Passy called her name quietly.
Ciel apparently didn't hear her as the pantheons approached.
"Ciel!" Passy called out urgently.
"Huh?"
"You should use my power, you no choice."
"But Passy if I do then you'll…"
"It's okay, everyone at base is waiting for you."
Ciel hesitated a moment.
"Okay, thank you." Ciel whispered as she extended her hand towards the Cyber-Elf.
"No Ciel it is I who should thank you. Good bye." Passy disagreed.
The Cyber-Elf flew towards the barrier as Ciel cried out.
"Passy!"
When Passy hit the barrier a shockwave of light exploded outward. Ciel was glad that it happened; it might have blinded the cheap optical receptors of the pantheons. When the light faded two reploids stood side by side. Both of them had long hair, His was blonde and hers was brown. The red armored Reploid was turned away from her; looking at the now blind pantheon units.
"Zero, Zero has been resurrected…." Ciel whispered.
Zero didn't reply but instead continued to look at the blue units near the door.
"Zero help me please!" Ciel pleaded. She hoped he would help her.
Zero didn't reply, instead he pushed the one he had been with behind him and drew his Z-saber. He moved forward, the Reploid female followed him immediately. Ciel blinked and followed him as well. He still hadn't said a word.
It became obvious that the enemies were no match for the red armored Reploid. His saber sliced through foes without any difficulty and for the mines that had been placed he would use his buster; usually the exploding mines would destroy a few enemies at the same time. Ciel panted as she tried to keep up. But, she also realized he was going slow for her sake. After a time Zero stopped and allowed her to catch up with him. When she caught up she saw the real reason he stopped.
"A dead end?" She wondered as she walked past him.
She felt the ground begin to shake underneath her. Suddenly, the ground collapsed under her feet and she felt herself begin to fall. As she did she screamed in terror. Before she knew it she felt hands grab onto her; she looked and saw Zero. When they landed she looked upwards to the shape of the other Reploid falling towards them.
"You…Thank you…" Ciel managed after a moment.
She talked for a few moments more and then walked forward. She could sense Zero's presence behind her as she walked forward… Just to find another dead end.
"This place is caved in. Shall we go back?" She asked turning to the two.
She saw Zero's blue eyes suddenly narrow.
"Stay Back!" Zero ordered.
Just as he said those words the debris behind her shook and a fist shot through the rubble, grabbing hold of her waist. She screamed as she felt the cold steel wrap around her. She felt herself being pulled away from them.

Zero looked up at the huge being. He hadn't ever seen a Maverick like this before. However, it had that girl in its hand. He dashed right in front of it and jumped straight up. He saw the girls face as he did and it registered to him that she thought his jump wasn't high enough. Obviously, she didn't know what he could do. When he reached the thing's chest he jumped again; gaining height. He jumped higher than the golem and when he began to drop back down he slashed at where the neck of the machine should have been.
It honestly shocked him when the head was chopped off of it. As he fell he saw the hand open and drop the young girl. She fell to the floor in an unceremonious heap. The weapon then toppled backwards into the wall and exploded. Zero watched to make sure she would be safe from the explosion.
When the girl got up she dusted herself off and spoke.
"Thank you Zero. I never imagined that you would be able to destroy a golem!" She said; clearly in awe of him.
Zero said nothing. He wasn't really sure what to do.
"I am Ciel; a scientist. Let's try to find a trans-server and return to resistance base before more enemies arrive."
It didn't take them long to do so and they warped to the 'Resistance Base'.
Zero began to feel that he had awoken at the wrong time…
