Chapter 1
Resurrection
"We found him at last!" shouted Milan in relief. The reploid ran in excitement toward the capsule.before colliding into an invisible barrier. The barrier shimmered in a rainbow of colors as the body flew back. The light disappeared as the reploid crashed into the ground. "Waaaa!!" he yelled in surprise.
Passy flew forward and began to inspect the barrier. She occasionally poked a tiny finger into the shield only to be slightly shocked and have her hand thrown back. "It's protected," she announced.
"That's evident," replied the recovering reploid. He slowly got up. He brushed himself off and inspected himself. He then put a hand to his chin. "What should I do." he wondered aloud. He suddenly stiffened.
Ciel, whom had been calmly inspecting the barrier for signs of weaknesses, noticed his lack of movement. "What's wrong," she asked.
It soon became evident. The sound of running was heard. "X-Droids," he whispered in fear. He turned around and saw three X-Droids. The muzzles of their guns blazed and globes of deadly red energy hurtled towards them. Ciel had no time to react. She raised her arms in defense. However, something blocked the shot. It was Milan! "Watch out!!" he yelled. His arms and part of his chest was damaged to the point where coolant oil leaked out. He pushed Ciel back and they took cover behind a computer console. Reaching cover, he plopped down onto the ground. He took a quick breather before whipping out his rifle and firing back at the X-Droids. The X-Droids dove for cover. "We are cornered. We have to evacuate now!" he said.
Ciel looked towards the capsule in the middle of the room. "But."
"We have no time to argue!" he yelled. Fire blazed past him as he began to shoot again. "Arghhh!!" Milan cried. Three orbs of energy had blasted into his body. He fell back against the floor. Coolant oil spilled from his broken body and his mouth began to leak the black substance that allowed reploids to function.
"Milan!!" yelled Ciel. She got down on her knees and cradled his lifeless form. 'I never should have tried to search for Zero. It's all my fault!!' she thought. She lowered her head as if in shame. A tear slipped down her face.
Passy looked on in worry. She then noticed the absence of flaming energy around them. She took a quick peek over the obstruction. A group of X-Droids were slowly walking towards them! She flew back to Ciel and slowly flew to her level. "Ciel." she quietly said.
"........."
"Ciel!!!" said the cyber elf.
This woke Ciel from her own depressing thoughts. "Huh?"
"You should use my power!! You have no choice!" she stated. Checking behind her, Passy saw that the X-Droids were closing in.
"What?! Passy.If I do, you'll be." "Destroyed" was the word she had wanted to use. However, the small entity cut her off.
"Don't worry about me," she cried. A thought suddenly popped into Passy's electronic brain. "Remember, everyone is waiting for your safe return!"
"........ Okay," she replied. With tears in her eyes, she looked up at her sole companion. "Thank you," she whispered. The cyber elf backed away from the pod.
"No," she said shaking her head. "I should thank you, Ciel." Passy took a look back at Ciel before charging. "Good-bye." were her final words. She then hurtled toward the invisible force field.
"Passssyyyyyy!" cried Ciel. She watched her friend disappear in a bright flash of light. The X-Droids behind Ciel were blasted back. Ciel herself closed her eyes. The barrier vanished and the pod was opened.
***
'Where am I?' thought the infamous reploid. 'Who am I?' As the red- helmeted reploid pondered over these questions, Ciel slowly opened her eyes.
'What.?' she thought. She looked at the pod only to find the reploid only known as Zero. He was wearing red shoes, a red and orange vest, and gloves with the same color. His trademark red helmet covered his head. Some lights glinted off of the green crystal located on his forehead and his waist-length blond hair also caught some of the light.. His black eyes were confused. [ AN: his eyes are black in MegaMan Zero but were green earlier.I'm just goin' to use the eyes from MegaMan Zero instead of the MegaMan X series ] "Zero. has been resurrected." she whispered.
Zero then noticed the young woman crouched on the floor. He also saw the destroyed reploid laying near her, the tear-stained eyes of the human, the three recovering reploids that looked oddly familiar, and the footsteps of others coming towards them. ".." was his only reply as he processed this information.
Ciel regained some of her confidence and stood up. "Zero?" she asked.
'That name.' the one questioned thought. 'Is it mine?' He turned his head to Ciel to show he was listening.
"Help me. Please," she pleaded. Zero simply nodded his head. The X- Droids were swiftly recovering and Zero still wasn't armed. Ciel looked around spotting an old Buster Rifle that may have been old but was still better then any weapons the Resistance had. She grabbed it and tossed it at Zero. "Use this to destroy them!" she yelled.
The X-Droids rose. Grasping their own rifles, the X-Droids targeted the two. "New target located. Prepare to engage," it droned. He aimed his rifle at Zero. Zero grabbed the rifle and fired four bursts at the blue reploid. The coolant oil ignited and the thing exploded. Zero shot the other two before they could react. Zero ran to the entrance and beckoned Ciel forward.
***
And so, Zero raced through the abandoned energy mine destroying enemies left and right. Mechanical spiders, small robot drones, and numerous X-Droids confronted the pair.and were annihilated. [ AN: this isn't goin' to be a guide so I won't detail the levels unless there's some speech.besides, the first level's reaaaalllllllyyyyyyy easy. I got an S Rank on that one ( ]
***
Running past the remains of yet another X-Droid, the two encountered a wall. Ciel walked forward and stood next to the ground. "What?!" she exclaimed. "It's a dead end. What should we do.?" she whispered to herself. She never noticed the ground shifting slightly under her feet.
'The ground's weak there!! No time to warn her.and she isn't a reploid so she would probably be injured badly or even die should she fall.'
The ground began to give away. "Aaaahhhhhhh!!!" she shrieked. Zero used his dash and sped forward to catch her. Ciel suddenly felt something holding her. Opening her eyes, she discovered Zero to be her savior. Her cheeks reddened slightly. Zero safely landed on the floor and helped Ciel to stand. She walked a bit away her cheeks reddening a bit more in embarrassment. "You." she started. She quickly erased her embarrassment though with the remembrance that she was in an area still populated by lethal enemies. "Thank you." she finished. She ran up a platform out of the small puddle of sewage that filled the bottom of the pit that she had once stood in. She observed the wrecked computers and old machinery. Everything had at least a small bit of dust. "This place seems to be a pre- historic laboratory," she observed. "We may be able to find a Trans Server, which we can use to go back to the Resistance Base." She walked forward leaving Zero behind.
Zero followed Ciel. As he followed her, Zero noticed the flickering lights. 'I wonder how this place is still powered as it seems to be very old.' He then moved on. [ AN: that's what I think at least. ] He spotted Ciel standing in front of a passageway blocked up with various pieces of rubble and debris.
"How nice." Ciel said dryly. She turned around to face Zero. "This passageway has collapsed in," she said, a bit of frustration in her voice. She sighed and looked down. "Shall we go back?"
Zero nodded. He was about to turn around when he saw movement in the rubble. "Stay back!" he yelled. Ciel was startled and jumped.
"Huh?" She turned around to see a giant mechanical hand clear the passageway of debris and rush toward her. She had little time to react but wouldn't even if she could. Her body was stiff with fear. It grabbed her and she cried out in fear. The giant hand retracted back through the hallway. Zero used his dash and followed it.
***
The arm belonged to a mechanical robot. It was gigantic and was obviously heavily armored. Ciel had finally regained her senses and was struggling against the unmoving grip of the Golem Tank. Finding it useless, she shouted to the arriving Zero. "Zero! No! Run.You can't damage this thing with a Buster."
"Unidentified maverick detected," interrupted the Golem. "Preparing to attack."
"I guess I have no choice but to take it on," Zero calmly replied. Though his tone was serene, his eyes danced with the fire of battle. He jumped up the wall but was dragged down slowly bye gravity. [ AN: it really sucks that you can't cling to walls or the battle would have been a lot easier. ] Never the less, Zero was still able to fire two shots at the head section. The Buster rounds barely dented the thick shell covering the head section. Zero dropped to the floor and cursed the Golem's protected body. The Golem's head opened up and energy began to form. Zero took notice and jumped up the wall. The beam stopped at the same height of the Golem's own eyes. The head then closed. 'This is going to be a long battle,' thought Zero.
***
Twenty or more shots later. [ AN: that's about the amount of rounds it takes Zero to realize that his Buster isn't working. ]
***
Zero once again dropped to the floor. The enemy's beams were slow and easy to avoid, but the Buster wasn't doing much damage. "Rats!" he shouted in frustration. 'My shots are barely damaging it!' The room was dominated by one large monitor. It flickered to life. On the screen was a glowing orb. Around it were two red rings and on the surface were four small poles colored a light blue. A Z Saber was flung from the shadows. The glowing green blade sunk into the ground.
". USE THIS. ZERO." said a voice. It was familiar but Zero could not identify it.
Zero looked at the screen. "Who are you!?" he demanded.
"HURRY. YOU HAVE TO. SAVE HER. DON'T WASTE TIME." was its only reply.
'Whatever it is, it's right. I have to save Ciel first,' were Zero's thoughts. He pocketed his Z Buster, grasped the hilt, and wrenched the Z Saber from the ground. Thoughts suddenly flew Zero's mind of battles with other reploids. He staggered but became alert as he noticed the Golem charging his beam. Zero prepared to leap away when the Golem fired.
The bright beam of light had actually gone up! The room began to shake. 'That blast must have loosened some debris. Zero rolled out of the way of the debris. He then noticed that the giant was about to charge. Zero clutched his new weapon harder and tensed. The giant charged. Zero leapt up onto the debris and used the debris as a platform. He slashed down with his Saber. The armor was more like butter against the power of the blade. The Tank then began to react. It began to shine and dropped Ciel onto the floor. Sparks leapt from the Golem Tank signaling its end. 'Why doesn't Ciel move!? She must be unconscious!' Zero dashed forward and covered Ciel's body with his own. And then, as if the hand of God had closed, the Golem imploded into itself and exploded. Immediately, the room was filled with light and nothing else could be seen.

You reviewed this story!!!!!!!! :D :D :D I'm so haaaappy!!!! I hope more people review the next chapter though. I would also like to say this story will not be completely the same as MegaMan Zero. I'm not going to actually put in the controls and stuff and the areas might be different or the speech might be different. These are all used to make it cooler!!! If you want to flame, do it in private through an e-mail. And should you criticize the story, please tell me how I should change it and I shall try my best to adjust the story. Ok?
P.S. All the thought stuff isn't really in the game
