"Zero. Zero. ZERRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" Zero could hear the scream as he slept. It sounded like a girl...a little girl.
"ZERO" Deciding to open his eyes to see what the fuss is all about Zero opens his eyes to a blonde girl dressed in a pink dress with black tights she looked really worried.
"What?..." Were the only words Zero could work out as he sat up a little, as soon as sitting up a sharp pain began to throb on Zero's head.
"ZERO! Don't push yourself you took on a huge blast just now and it knocked you out. I was so worried Zero..." The girl looked down and a tear fell from her eyes.
Zero was so utterly confused. He could've sworn he was inside of Protoman's apartment sleeping in a futon. What and where the hell is this. Zero began to look around there was nothing but a lonely dessert with wind blowing the sand all around. No life anywhere to be found. Zero tried to get up. But his body wouldn't let him. Zero was confused he didn't remember taking on a blast. Nor did he have any idea who this girl was. His systems told him that she was human. So that was even more puzzling. So Zero decided to ask her some questions.
"Hey girl who are you and why am I here?" Zero asked calmly. He saw she was crying so he didn't want to make her more upset.
"W-What you don't remember me?" Her tears stopped.
"Never seen you a day in my life" Zero responded thinking as hard as he could.
"This is awful...I can't believe this...We need to get you help" She said as she grabbed on to Zero's arm. But Zero pulled away.
"First explain to me where I am and who you are" Zero insisted looking at the girl sternly.
"My name is Ciel. I'm a scientist that is on the side of the reploids. There's this reploid named Megaman X killing all the reploids we are currently trying to stop the leader and take back the world. X has gone mad. Someone must stop him. That someone is you Zero. Its your destiny. I woke you up from your slumber so you could save humanity once more. But not just humanity. Reploids as well. Zero please. please remember." Ciel said as she looked Zero straight in the eye.
"If what you say is true... then that means I've traveled to a distant time in the future... or maybe even to another universe." Zero said.
"Zero I think you busted your memory chip" Ciel said.
"No you don't understand... I'm not supposed to be in this time. I don't think I'm your Zero..." Zero said looking down. Ciel looked confused.
"No...no you...your definatly it...Zero...you have to save us...save us all..." Ciel said still looking down in rage.
"Listen, Ciel was it? I don't know what your trying to pull but I need to find a way home" Zero said as he started to walk away.
"Oh...your not going anywhere Zero..." Ciel smiled sweetly. She touched Zero's helmet and tapped it in some wierd way. A soon as she finished Zero fell to the ground unconcious.
Zero was unconcious and Ciel called for help and took him back to headquarters. But it was a faint unconciousness, Zero could see everything happen, he was powerless to stop it. They hooked him up to a machine. Suddenly Zero woke up.
"GET ME OUT OF HERE" Zero screeched.
"No this is for your own good Zero" Ciel responded.
"I said let me go. I don't know you I can't trust you...what makes you think I'll just go along with you? Who the hell do you think I am?" Zero growled.
Just then a red aura descended off of and the other researchers were frantic. Running about trying to put stablizers inside of Zero.
"Its not working!" Ciel responded.
"Miss Ciel I don't know how much longer we can supress him" A random worker said.
"Damn" Ciel responded. Finally the explosion came and Zero was freed of all bondage.
"I don't who you people are or what your trying to accomplish but you can't reset me like I'm some sort of toy. Now I want the truth and the whole truth WHERE AM I." Zero said as he grabbed Ciel by the shirt and shook her slightly.
"I already told you" Ciel responded hope glimmering in her eyes.
"ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION" Zero said shaking her once more.
Ciel didn't respond with words she started crying. Zero dropped her. He heard a voice. Small and light.
"Zero." The light voice said.
"I know this voice...X?" Zero responded amazed. Looking up he saw a baby blue glowering light.
"Zero these people are your friends their trying to help you" X said finally becoming clear to the eye. Zero felt the X's warm aura automatically he knew the feeling. This small fairy was indeed X. It had his feel his warmth. Something Zero had grown accustomed to,something Zero couldn't live without.
"Zero...I know things are confusing but you need to stay strong and trust the people around you...for me Zero. I have to go now..." With that the tiny fairy faded. Zero was left alone with a empty feeling a broken lab and a untraveled path.
"X..." Zero said falling onto his looked at Ciel who had been watching the whole ordeal.
"Do you know what happened to him?" Zero asked ciel.
"He's gone replaced by a horrid copy" Ciel answered sadly with a sympathetic look.
Zero's fists were clentched into a fist.
"Where is this reploid? I'll help you. because this isn't the future X and I faught for. There was supposed to be peace, there was supposed to be harmony amongst everyone. Not this vilent blood must've brought me here. I'll play into your hands if not for peace, but most importantly for X." Zero said as he picked himself off the ground,picking up a new saber.
He walked for the door with confidence in his walk. One vision. One hero. One blade, One blaser.
To be continued.
