What is this?! Another update to the story? You betcha. Hopefully I can continue these updates on a weekly basis, the dream would be 2 times per week but I don't think I can manage that and be in college at the same time. Very short this time however.

Enjoy the newest chapter of A New Dawn, also do you prefer me to keep my mouth shut at the beginning of these chapters or do you enjoy the little updates? Let me know in the reviews of this chapter if that's alright with you guys. Also tell me if you prefer longer chapters with more of a gap (1 to 2 weeks) or shorter chapters like this one more often (maybe twice a week considering how much faster it is to make these)

Chapter 4: Awakening Part 2

Zero oppened his eyes to see some familiar faces. He was however, surprised to see that X was also with them, as well as the hologram of the doctor.

"Glad you could join us, Zero." X said.

"He's still not fully functional, but the repairs should have gotten him to the point where he can talk to you. If only Albert were here..."

Zero's mind briefely zoned out, showing him images long forgotten. Broken mangled reploids stood infront of him, their oil and entrails spraied across his hands and arms. He quickly regained his focus, dismissing it as some sort of side effect of being knocked out so long.

Fefneer backed off from the table, speaking up

"Yeah well, we'll monitorizing the surrounding area with your security systems doc, how'd ya build this by the way, I mean, not even Neo Arcadia had something this fancy."

"Oh, they're just some precautions, I figured it might have been time that I remained out of the flow of events, but circunstances force my hand."

"I'm surprised, we haven't seen Phantom yet" X began "His spirit left Cyberspace a few days before I came to this body."

"What?!" The guardians answered.

"X, if Phantom and you left Cyberspace, plus considering the fact that your father is repairing me, there might be the possibility of others..."

"Yeah... That's what I'm afraid of, Zero."

Zero leaned back his head, touching the table once again. It felt strange, he wasn't wearing his helmet for the first time in years, yet the injuries on his cranial structure were fully repaired, the gashes, bruises and otherwise missing limbs, still gave pain all across his body, but for one moment, he tried to enjoy in his mind, the fact that he was reunited with a friend. And soon he would be able to fulfill all of his promises, so for that one moment he let himself relax, smiled, and closed his eyes.

Meanwhile somwhere within the ruins of Neo Arcadia. Another reploid oppened his eyes, he was inside a stasis tank, the release process had just began. he glanced to each side slowly, analysing his surroundings, as a voice called to him.

"...Time to wake up..."

As Stated in the beggining, very short chapter this time, leaving it up to you guys though, let's see what you prefer, and don't forget even if you don't have a fanfic account, you can leave a guest review, which I will be sure to read.

Oh, special challenge for this chapter, let's see how many of you can guess who the reploid at the end of this chapter is.

Untill next time, big love guys, Sunwhisper signing out

EDIT: in the zero reflection lines, replaced problems with promises, hey, typos happen :P
