Mega Man Zero Elpizo
Chapter 13
The Guardian of Fire
Zero dashed past the flames and jumped onto the ladder. As he quickly neared the top he saw odd UFO like machines dropping towards the floor. He assumed that it had some kind of importance so he destroyed them with his Z-buster. He was about to climb up however, more little objects appeared and so he destroyed them as well with his Z-buster. After he did the X form awoke and strengthened him. Again more UFO's descended, and this time they zipped forward. Zero was barely able to strike them, let alone destroy all of them.
"Blast it…" Zero muttered.
However a second later they zipped upward and Zero noticed that they seemed to be following a trajectory. He quickly scanned the trajectory and began to intercept the odd machines. Once he had destroyed them a large UFO appeared and Zero jumped off the ladder, drew his saber, jumped onto the top of the UFO and began to slice the machine to ribbons. After he did so a small cyber elf escaped from the remains. Zero deftly landed on the cold floor and the cyber elf zipped over to him.
"Thanks for rescuing me! Here, I'll give you some extra power!" The small cyber elf glowed and Zero's armor was reinforced.
"There! I'd give you some more but…" The small elf smiled sadly and flew away.
Zero wasn't even given time to thank the small elf whom had sacrificed so much for him. Zero sighed and jumped back up the ladder. As he did his armor flickered and turned purple. It seemed that the forms awoke as they were needed. Minuets later he confronted a Reploid he had just recently seen.
"Fefnir… Let me pass, I'm not interested in fighting you right now. I need to capture Elpizo." Zero said as he approached the heavily armored Reploid.
"Hmph, I can't do that Zero. We have to fight. You are the only one that I enjoy fighting and I'm not about to pass this opportunity up." Fefnir assumed a fighting stance.
"I see, do you want X's fights against the Dark Elf to have been in vain?" Zero asked coolly.
"They won't be 'hero'. Elpizo has nothing on any of us Guardians. After I defeat you I'll destroy him."
Zero sighed once again and drew his saber.
"That's more like it Zero! Show me what the 'god of destruction' can do!"
"'god of destruction'? I never claimed to be that. Nor am I a 'hero'. But, if an enemy appears I'll defeat it." Zero suddenly dashed at Fefnir, and as he did so he activated his electric chip.
Zero swung downward at Fefnir with a might strike. Fefnir blocked with his massive arm cannon. However, Fefnir winced as he did.
"Not bad…" Fefnir grunted and slammed his left fist into Zero's chest. The powerful attack made Zero stumble backwards.
Fefnir then fired off a volley of shots into Zero's chest.
Zero recovered and struck Fefnir with an electrical blast from his Z-Saber. The electricity enveloped Fefnir but instead of going down Fefnir's eyes were gleaming.
"This will be a fight!" Fefnir said happily as he fired off another volley from his arm cannon.
Zero jumped over the attack and attempted to send another shockwave from his saber at Fefnir however, Fefnir's right arm
suddenly wrapped around his helmet and Zero found himself and Fefnir dashing towards the nearest wall. When they were close to
the wall Fefnir brought Zero in front of him and slammed him into the wall. Zero saw Fefnir jump away and point his arm cannon at
Zero. Zero waited for him to fire off the shots before he dashed forward, jumped over the fireballs and ignite his saber into flames.
Zero then rapidly brought his saber up, and as Fefnir was sent into the air he jumped causing the attack to continue to harm his foe.
Electricity and Fire melded into one; causing an awesome electrical inferno. They descended and Zero decided to attempt to catch
Elpizo.
However, Fefnir had other plans. Zero suddenly sensed a wave of fire come barreling towards him. He quickly rolled to his left and
faced Fefnir.
"Thought I was finished huh? I'm not done yet!" Fefnir roared as he fired a massive volley of fire at Zero.
Zero quickly grabbed his Shield and blocked the fire as he enveloped him. At the same time Zero drew his chain rod and swung it at
Fefnir's leg; the same one Zero had injured when they had first met. The snakelike metal chain wrapped around Fefnir's leg and
Zero sent a massive electrical surge through the weapon.
"Arrrrrrrrgh!" Fefnir cried in agony and collapsed from the powerful currents running through his body.
Zero deactivated the electricity and sheathed his various weapons before he turned to pursue Elpizo once again.
"Sorry Zero…It's too late…He got away…" Fefnir groaned.
"What?" Zero turned back to him.
"Look at that screen…It shows the security of this facility. Elpizo was an intruder and was labeled as such, kinda like you are right
now, and now he's gone…I'm sorry, I just needed a good fight for once."
"…I see. I'm going to investigate anyways."
"I'm going to leave …" Fefnir warped away.

Palette walked up behind Axl quietly.
"Boo!" She shouted.
Axl just chuckled.
"Hello Palette."
"Why is it that since we first met back in 21XX that I've never been able to startle you?" Palette pouted.
"Because you aren't startling?" Axl suggested.
"Hey! That's not very nice!" She pouted even more.
Axl chuckled.
"Why do you stay with me then?"
"You're my friend." Palette said quietly.

Omega-1, the 'White Demon', the cursed one, and the unforgivable nameless one quietly walked deeper into the city. He was going
to eradicate the largest Maverick cell in the United States. It was all that he had. After one hundred years of this however, he was
getting tired.
"The cursed can never rest. They are destined for oblivion. At least I've put off oblivion for this long. Maybe my punishment will be
lessened for destroying evil for so long. I doubt it…" Omega muttered under his breath.
He defied existence, Man and Machine help each other however, they should never become one. He was 'living' proof of it. He was
mutated by Sigma and now he was a monstrosity that should die, but he had vowed so long ago to topple fate…

Alia ran a quick scan. She had had another nightmare. Alia was beginning to become concerned about it. She could tell X was
worried as well. It wasn't normal for her to have nightmares. She hadn't had once for almost a century however, the last few weeks
she had been plagued by constant terrors in her dreams.
