Brotherhood

Chapter III - The Mass Annihilation

Once all the survivors of the attack were repaired and were recovering, Digital Core and AbsoluteZero were watching the movement of government troops. "Digital, you could leave, not to be denounced by someone" said Absolute, he did not want Digital was arrested, she smiled "I'm not leaving you. You still need a lot of help and I want to keep this opposition advocating the robots." She said, Absolute smiled "At least I have a true friend." He said, Digital was surprised, but then continued to stare at the monitors showing the image of soldiers coldly killing robots and the army going to a plane.

"It seems that the soldiers did not pass through this area" she said, watching the plane take off, apparently going to the nearby town. "Good to know. At least we will have more time for our new partners opposed recover, but in return, more robots will be killed" he explained, Digital began to worry. Increasingly fewer robots still alive, the borders were blocked, only 10% of the population known robots of this country still alive. thought, with only this would be almost impossible to organize a rebellion against the government and never would win if war broke out.

Absolute also began to worry, but the thought vanished when the distance he kept from monitors, did not see what happened "Digital... Have some glasses here?" He asked, she looked blankly at Absolute and asked why, he reached out in front of himself and his vision, his hand almost turned into a blur.

"My field of vision this even more limited." Said Absolute, Digital worried, but they did not have any money to buy glasses, and robots need revisions and repairs, they both knew, but it was too risky to Absolute go completely blind. "I think you better stay like this. This is the only option we have. Perhaps with the little vision you still have, can convince the President to cancel and delete the new code of laws" said Digital, hopeful, the gaze of Absolute saddened "It would be great if we could make some change without violence. Astronautis uses the term war to all, I think the chances of acorrer a war between humans and robots is 99 in 100, depending of her." He explained, Digital did not know much of the Absolute's past, someone like him doing something bad enough to be exiled, is not in his nature and why do not you got revenge on Wily? Could have killed the Robots Masters as a symbol of vengeance. Would you helped the President to kill them? She thought Digital was going to ask Absolute about it, but he saw the cameras, robots that were not captured by the soldiers and he rose "Digital, have survivors in town, stay here and take care of my brothers, I'll be back as soon as possible" he said, Digital agreed and he went in the direction of the city. Perhaps you are sorry for something you did...

Absolute reached the point where saw the robots by monitors, in the west of the city, Absolute heard sounds coming from an alley and approached. There he saw a small robot that looked have about five years, was sitting on the floor and appeared to be very frightened, even with slightly blurred vision Absolute had "Hello, little boy" he said, with voice calm, the robot looked at him, and Absolute saw a glow on the cheek and he inferred to be small tears. That surprised him, for it was impossible to see in robots of the generation of the XXI century "What is your name?" Absolute asked, he knew it was not easy to win the trust of a child robot, the small in a blue armor and brown hair wiped the tears from his eyes, "My name is Mega Man X." Said the little "What are you doing here in this alley?" Absolute asked kneeling beside X "My brother died. My sister was taken and my creator, was arrested. "He said, between sobs, Absolute deduced that the appearance and name, that would be a creation of Dr. Light, he stood up and reached for the lowest "Maybe I can help" said Absolute, the little robot took a helmet to the ground and put this in your head and stood up with the help of Absolute "But who are you, sir?" asked the little, Absolute smiled friendly "I am DWN-083, AbsoluteZero and I'm here to help." X held the Absolute's hand, the largest noted, the small was too scared and pressed lightly hand of X as a way to demonstrate that he was safe.

When they passed a deserted street, X noted the Absolute's eyes were gray, and small never saw it in any of the few robots he met "Mister Absolute, why are your eyes like that?" He asked innocently, and the curious that the children had "It's because I'm a little blind" he said, X seemed more curious, as usually happens, when it answers the question of a small child, several others come later, but was little shy and decided to ask a question more worthwhile "But where are we going?" X asked, "We are going where have other robots. I do not like violence, so I'm rescuing robots to stop the evil" explained Absolute, X looked at him "But then, why did you not come at the time when the soldiers attacked my family?" Asked the little, Absolute saddened "I wanted to... But with my lack of vision, could attack an innocent and could also be arrested by the soldiers." He said, was at times like this, Absolute grateful for not having the ability to cry.

When they arrived, the biggest had to speak the password again and the two entered, X was very scared, he did not know if he could trust who was inside, so no left near Absolute "Absolute, saw that the area you went, there was only a child, were at least three robots, right?" said Digital, half suspicious "I went as fast as possible, but from what X told me, I came too late to help others who were in site. But you were looking at the pictures of the monitors. How not seen my arrival or the time when the soldiers attacked the family of X?" He asked, Digital pointed to the monitors, only saw a message saying Loss of Signal, Absolute understood and go with X, in another room, where was the infirmary "X, you get hurt?" he asked, X shook his head in denial, Absolute put him on the examination table and found that the small was not injured, only some scratches, but his armor was all scratched "What happened to your armor?" asked the biggest "When I ran away from humans, I fell many times" he said, Absolute agreed, and really small dents also indicated that he was falling while fled. Absolute heard small footsteps close to where he was, and deduced that was his brother and turned around, he only saw a blur of red, but it was actually Zero "Absolute, Digital want to see you..." He trailed off when he saw the little reploid near his brother, began to stutter "H-hello..." he said, Absolute helped X down from the table and placed him on the floor "Zero, this is X. X this is Zero." He said introducing the two to each other, both were very shy, but the two shook hands. After, Zero was talking to Absolute, he motioned for the largest bend down and he knelt to hear the slightest "Absolute, why is he here?" Zero asked whispering "He's a survivor and now you will be with him and protect him" said Absolute, Zero turned redder "I? Why would I? You might as well do it! You are professional in protecting robots "he said, Absolute smiled "Well, this will be your first mission! And anyway, I'm taking care of more than 10 Robot Masters, and you just take care of X" he said, already moving away from them "X, you will be left with Zero while I decide a few things, I expect you to become friends!" Said Absolute, then immediately left the room.

Absolute went to another room and Digital was building small things, but in Absolute's vision were not very clear "What are you doing?" He asked approaching and sitting in a chair next to her, "I'm building monitoring cameras, I wanted you to help me installing them when I'm done" she asked, Absolute motioned positive "No problem, I'll just do a survey in the city, I will install the cameras when I back" Absolute said getting up and going to the output direction. "Be careful not to bump into anything!" She said, Absolute prompting a positive sign again and left.

In another room of the small base, Ice Man get up, he had been forced to sleep to regain his energy, he sat down at the table and pulled out the cables that were connected in random places of his body and looked into the room he other Robots Masters that survived were the same way, sleeping with dozens of cables connected to itself. To the left was the Eskimo Elec and right side, Fire Man, Ice was happy to see that not only Fire, but all of his other brothers were there.

Ice left the room and saw Digital working with cameras "Digital where is Absolute?" He asked, Digital turned "He went to town." She answered, Ice Man was surprised "But ..." Ice tried to say, but instead only pointed to his eyes as if to say Even with blindness Digital smiled "He's not a domesticated robot. Can not stand by and do nothing, especially in the situation where we are. And his blindness is just another obstacle that he wishes to overcome."

- City -

Absolute was going through a neighborhood in which the robots before the entire metropolis lived, was night and a light fog was in place. Now, he could no longer hear the little robots newly activated playing with his domestic robots, not listened to the poems that humanoids philosophers counted for the younger nor the gossip that robots female counted aloud. Now he saw only an empty street with houses stained with blood, bullet holes rifle and pistols and capsules of bullets from guns on the ground.

Absolute not believe what he saw, went down the street and increasing blood was on the streets, but it seemed that what had happened mere minutes "So there you are, DWN-083" said a female voice behind him, he turned and Absolute saw a woman with red hair, stuck in a ponytail, she wore black clothing, with armor on his arm and legs, stamped on the shirt was a gun and a rose on his shoulder and the globe symbol in black on white "Sorry, but I'm bothering? AstroDeath" he asked, with a tone of seriousness, AstroDeath grabbed a gun and took aim at the head of Absolute "Yes, this troubling our president and I have orders to take you to her." she said "She will see me soon, but how about bringing she up to me? I swear I'm not doing anything wrong. I want to talk to her." Absolute asked, AstroDeath got the crosshair on Absolute, but did not shoot, he noticed she hesitated "You can not kill me, right?" He asked, AstroDeath, turned his sights to the leg and shot him, Absolute diverted stepping back, she was nervous, what Absolute said was true, then she put the gun and picked up a knife and then attacked Absolute.

His vision did not help, Absolute was able to divert only when she was very close to him, so he was wounded in the arm, but now she was closer, and Absolute could see her, he grabbed his lightsaber and cut her dagger, AstroDeath, not to be unarmed, grabbed his gun and shot back at him desperately, Absolute dodged almost all, except one, which hit him in the chest, close to his respiratory system, the sharp pain came to him, but Absolute advantage the weapon ammo had just and make an attack, his lightsaber hit her arm, cutting out and then falling to the ground, AstroDeath fell to the ground screaming in pain and holding the cropped area. Absolute advantage she could not hit him again and returned to his base.
