--With words come healing, with actions comes praise. But praise doesn't last forever...
But does this mean you must keep fighting to be liked? Or does it simply mean you will never truly be remembered?--
"What are you speaking of woman?!" He said in shock to her previous reply.

"Don't play games with me, I will shoot you right here!" She said, but she noticed a gleam in his eye, sadness perhaps.

"I'm serious, what are you talking about, and where am I?" He said this stern but calmly.

" You really don't know do you......" She said.

"No...I don't....." He said looking down.....

She then Approached him and gave him a hand. He accepted and she helped him up. She then guided Zero to a table.
Even though the table was just twenty feet away they managed to step over 15 dead bodies. Zero could only hope that
it want caused by him. Both sat down and she stared at Zero.

"Well?" Zero questioned?

"Oh sorry, I just cant believe its you...." She said slowly...

"What do you mean?" He said looking surprised.

"Well, about 80 years ago after X destroyed Sigma you had diapered...Again. So X went searching after you,
and he too disappeared. Peace was well throughout the land for 40 years when you showed up at a Maverick base.
Everyone was welcoming you, but you were different. That same red aura . You held up yore buster and destroyed it.
You've destroyed every Maverick base except this one. For thirty years you were destroying bases, when mysteriously
you just stopped, and we havened heard from you since. Then an army came with droids, and was attempting to destroy
this base. We just assumed it was you. But then a man came, and he was asking for the Devil buster....
And you showed up. So I'm confused now."

"I cant answer anything you can, the last thing I remember was fighting with X..and..and a little girl..............."
He said thinking back

"Hmm that doesn't help much." She said quite bluntly.

Just then the side doors opened and soldiers came running in. Zero stood up quickly with
his buster and lined up a shot when Ishin quickly grabbed his arm.

"No, there on our side." she warned

He put down his buster, but the soldiers didn't put down there's.

" Put down yore weapons, he's not our enemy!" She explained.

"He's the leader of our enemies!" One soldier shouted. And with this the rest all said "YEAH!"

"No he saved me!" She tried pleading with them.

"Look at all these dead bodies!" Another soldier said.

"That's enough, I'm commander of this army, quickly leave a fix all damage done, it wont be
long before they attack again!." She said in a much more mature voice.

The soldiers all put there heads down grumbling and walked away. Meanwhile Ishin was
giving Zero a tour. She showed him the defenses and the many soldiers. She explained how they could
barely hold out compare to the Droid forces.

"What's this Devil Buster you speak of?" Zero questioned.

"Its said to be the most powerful buster in the world, and can destroy anything in one shot." She explained.

"Sounds bad, I see why they would attack with so much force...." Zero replied.

"Would you like to see it?!" She sounded like a school girl when she said this.

"Sure why not." He said plainly.

They walked down many halls, and he was getting quite tired. The passed through lasers, and hundreds
of soldiers before they arrived to a big steel door. The door slowly opened, and mist crept out of it.
Upon touching Zero's skin he felt very cold. The closer he got to the inside the worst he felt. But he managed to enter.
The room was quite big, and he caught a glance of Ishin pressing on a keyboard. Soon a hatch opened a red glow shot
upwards. And in the center lay a black thorned Buster. But when Zero saw this he fell to his knees. A sharp
pain was digging in his head. He yelled out in pain, and rolled on the floor.

"What's wrong Zero!" Ishin cried.

"Help...Get me....Me out of here right now!" Zero said in an angry tone. Two soldiers ran in and carried Zero
out. Ishin ran towards him and snapped her fingers twice, and Zero's eyes opened.

"Can you walk Zero?" She asked

"Yes I'm fine, I can walk. Just a little tired." He replied

She pointed him in the direction of the quarters and Zero slowly walked towards it. Many thought were
going through his mind at this time. "Why did that happen, it felt so familiar,
I think I have touched that buster before......... Something about it...
I associate X with it for some reason..." While he was thinking he was interrupted by a short pain in the back of his neck. He quickly turned to see a you girl staring at him.

"Yore Zero right!" She said excitedly

"Yes, yes I am. And who might you be little girl?" Zero said in a playful voice.

"Im Florida, my grandpa says I'm a state below Georgia but I don't know what that means!"She said very loudly.

" Well that's a nice name kid." He said this with a big smile.

She glared at him and then jumped on him attacking him!

"What are you doing you psycho!" He yelled

"No one calls Florida a kid!" She said angrily.

"Ok, ok you're an adult!" He screamed.

"That's better" She said while releasing her grip.

Zero fell to the floor choking and gasping for air. He turned to see the strange lit...I mean adult gone.
He stood up looking around and just went to his quarters. His room was quite big, and on the die there was a bed.
He jumped on the bed and laid down. He glared upwards and was starring at the roof for hours, just blank thoughts
going through his mind."X......What happened...... And the Devil Buster........" Zero soon fell asleep.
*BOOM*

A huge explosion had just accrued. And Zero stood up immediately. He jumped to his feet to see flashing
lights and a warning bell. Through out the base you could hear the horrible sound. Zero ran out the doors to see
the whole main hallway destroyed. "What happened here" He thought. He ran down the hallway following the destructive
path. Running through the debris and jumping over many obstacles. He then saw a horrifying sight. Ishin was lying on
the floor bleeding. He ran up to her and picked her up.

"Ishin, what happened?!" He asked.

She could barely mutter out the words, "Stop....D buster"

Zero knew exactly what she meant, and he ran down the path. Soon he came to the D buster chamber. In the middle
stood a very huge reploid. He was wearing an orange suit, with a spike or two sticking out. He turned and saw Zero.

"Muhahaha you must be the one who took of Olaf's arm!" The big one laughed.

"That's right, and I'll do the same to you!" Zero replied angrily.
"Is that right Zero, well I'm Alpha Sampaguita, one of the legendary Omega's! My power is Earth, and
your skull will fell it soon! He countered.

"Big words for a big man." Zero said this while dashing forwards un-sheathing his sword. But by the time he slashed,
Alpha he was already in the air, with a force of earth surrounding him.

"Muhahaha no buster could break this field of power!"

Zero charged up his buster, and just as Sampaguita had said, it was no avail. His shots all just
smashed into rock. Alpha didn't wait long until he mad his move. Rocks came dropping down onto Zero. Each smashed
against armored heavily damaging it. But then Alpha made his first mistake. He made more rocks fall but in a perfect
line. Zero got his chance, and he jumped on the first rock in mid air, and the jumped to the next, soon he was more then
60 feet in the air. Alpha saw his mistake but to late, Zero had gotten with in perfect range. Zero jumped off the last
rock and slashed downwards breaking through Alpha's shield. Zero fell slowly to the ground landing on his feet.
He sheathed his sword, and charged up his buster. Alpha could only watch in horror as the beam crashed into his chest.
His body exploded. And a small Emblem fell to the ground with the symbol of Earth on it. Zero looked at it curiously and
picked it up, immediately his armor absorbed it and it changed. His muscles felt lighter, and his saber grew brighter,
even his buster had changed.. He just remembered Ishin, and dashed quickly towards her.

"Ishin, are you ok?" Zero questioned.

"Yes, and the Devil Buster?" She asked.

Zero had just remembered, and a horrifying thought came to mind, he forgot about the Devil buster!
---Next chapter Zero find himself wondering... His will has been broken... Can he survive?----
