CASUALTIES OF WAR PART I
~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*
--------------- Enemies... Who are they.. Why do you fight.... The will to survive.....How do you know that you're on the wrong side or the right... Death should always be the last resort... And the misguided should always doubt. They fight, just to receive praise... Then they have no meaning for fighting.. Just another excuse.-------------------
His spirit restored, and his faith back, Zero races to save his life. Taking the words, and the anger which Delta Angel had done Zero finds he must fight.
Even if he fails, he must try.
At bight the desert is quiet, and cool. So peaceful, but something is stirring. A dust cloud is zooming across the desert. At the front, is Zero. He feels the burning of the curse deep inside him. But it does not matter any longer. He could sense destruction. Up ahead he could see a smoke cloud, a very large one indeed.
This did not have much affect on him except his speed. He soon found himself at the base. He could hear screaming throughout it. Many dead bodies, and many more of the cyclops looking droids. They were firing many shots, and it was worst then before. Zero had no time for games, he dashed and slashed at the same
time, and soon there laid a path of destroyed droids.
He then came across the big man, Olaf.
"Muhahaha I'm back to take your arm ZERO!" He yelled.
"I don't have time for this!" Zero said glaring at his new robotic arm.
Righr after the words rolled off of his lip he was being pounded by a barrage of shots. He quickly dashed to his right, then to his left. He used the emblem he had gotten from Sampaguita and harnessed its awesome power. Boulders in a strait line had emerged in front of him. Zero used these as a shield, and jumped on one to the other. He then jumped of the last and came down with speed. The second he was just a few feet away from Olaf he drew his saber, then sheathed it not even a second later. He hit the ground and rolled behind Olaf. Olaf started laughing.
"Muhahahhahah you son of bitch....." He said while splitting in half.
"Foolish people, you fight even though you don't have a mind." Zero muttered to himself.
And soon he reached the center. Where he saw Ishin fighting a reploid. He fired a blast from his buster to warn the reploid, and indeed it got her attention.
"Ahh here he is now... The devil himself!" The strange green reploid said.
"I don't have time women, why are you here!" Zero replied angrily.
"I am Beta Lyon, Eternal Protector of Light of Neo Arcadia , and I've come to vanquish the Daemon Zero!" She spoke in a heroic voice.
" You're not making sense, why would kill millions of Reploids and say you're the protector?! You must be mad, it is you're army that has destroyed this land!" Zero countered.
"I'm not stupid, aren't you the same Zero who destroyed millions of reploids and Humans alike. And Isn't this you're army?" She asked with a bit of confusion.
"I am that Zero who has killed, but this is not my army, merely a rebel force against you're destructive army!" Zero said looking her dead in the eye.
" Our army is trying to take down you, the evil destructor of all! Omega Enigma is a great leader, and wants freedom for all!" She said pulling out a staff and twirling it.
"I don't want to kill you if you're innocent, but if you insist on killing on the wrong side ,I will have no choice. Zero then he un-sheathed his saber."
She fired a huge blast of light which destroyed the ground beneath Zero causing his body to fly upwards into the ceiling cracking his armor. She wasted no time, and fire off another smacking Zero in the side. One of his left ribs broke. He cried out in pain and fell to the floor. She really thought she was on the right side. Zero stood up slowly, but she fired off many blasts, all of which Zero was smacked into. His armor was slowly falling apart.
"Why aren't you fighting with full power?!" She screamed
"Because, you really think you're on the right side....." Zero managed to mutter out.
"I am on the right side!" She was furious and she aimed her staff at Ishin.
"Very well, if you insist on meaningless killings......" Zero stood up.
Once again the red aura surrounded Zero. He came flying towards her like a typhoon. Slashing this way and that way. Soon the whole room was covered in blood, and before he dealt the final blow he stopped himself. He held himself with all the power he had. He looked down to see her face, terrified, covered in blood. He looked to his left and saw Ishin, with the exact same facial expression. He threw his saber on the ground and picked Beta up. He stood her against the wall.
"Go, you can heal, I didn't damage you to a fatal point. Please just leave.." Zero said quietly looking down.
"Why, are you doing this?!" She said surprised.
"Because..... You don't deserve to die..." He said looking at her.
"Um... We should go Zero, evacuate to our hiding spot..This base is totaled..." Ishin managed to say out loud.
Zero looked at Beta one more time, and then walked down the corridor with Ishin. Soon a black Figure appeared next to Beta.
"You have done well Lyon...Very well." The mysterious figure murmured.
" What are you talking about? Zero is still alive?!" She said.
"Hahaha foolish girl, our objective is to destroy the Reploids, and you helped take their base." The mysterious figure laughed.
"But....It was only a trick?!" Beta said angrily this time.
"Of course, it was obvious.. A 5 year old would know better. You are a bad excuse for a person. You weren't fighting for good, you don't even have a reason for fighting. You just wanted people to look at you as a savior. We may be cruel sometimes, but at least every one of s has a real reason to fight... You're the worst kind of a reploid, You only fight so people will recognize you.. You have killed countless people for no reason.... You are cruel.." The mysterious figure said.
He backhanded Beta and walked towards the evacuation area. Leaving Beta there.. In a Corner she crawled into a little ball and cried.
Zero and Ishin reached the evacuation area, were hundreds of injured soldier walked. They were loading into trucks, and cars.
"I'm sorry, for not sticking up for you Zero..." Ishin said.
"Don't worry...." Zero replied.
"Hahaha Hahaha" The mysterious figure said behind them.
"You will all die!" and with this the black figure picked his buster up and fired a single shot destroying a supply truck holding about 33 people inside.
He lined up another shot, aimed at Zero and Ishin. And fired. But the shot never hit its target. Lyon jumped in front of it and intercepted it.
"Lyon, you're life is a waste, and now you just ruined you're last chance!" He said.
"No, I'm ruining you're chance!" She jumped forward exploding causing a massive cave in.
As the rocks fell Zero could see that evil man, starring at him, with nothing but a huge grin.
Zero found the light emblem falling towards him. He grabbed it immediately. And soon once again his armor repaired, grew white and green. He could now jump higher, slash harder, and shoot further. He also had the power of Light and Earth.........
In a large forest miles away, Zero and Ishin walked side by side.
"Too bad, she never got to find her true meaning..." Ishin said sadly.
"No..You're wrong, she saved all of us back there, She realized saving people, weather they be bad or good, is still saving a human life...." Zero said as they walked on.
