*Opening exposition*
Narrator: In the year 20XX,a scientist named Dr.Light created the 1st truly sentient robotic life form. Many years later,in 21XX,another scientist,Dr.Cain,discovered the capsule containing this miracle of technology & copied the systems necessary to create robots with free will into a new generation of robotic people known as Reploids.
But all was not well...for some Reploids,recognizing their superior abilities,began to feel that humanity was no longer needed on Earth. Reploids who wished to destroy humanity were termed as "Mavericks" & an elite task force of Human protecting Reploids known as the Maverick Hunters was formed to challenge the Maverick's hatred. However,the leader of the Hunters,Sigma,eventually became a Maverick himself,carrier of a computer virus that could turn almost any Reploid into a Maverick,& the leader of a great Maverick army that would stop at nothing to wipe the "Plague of the organic" from the face of the planet.
Fighting Sigma's forces were two of the greatest heroes the world had ever seen. Megaman X,son of the great Dr.Light,genesis of the Reploids,& the enegmatic Zero,a former Maverick turned Hunter. The two warriors fought bravely against the Mavericks,untill one fateful day,when Zero disapeared without a trace...
Much changed after he had gone. X continued fighting against the Mavericks,aided by the discovery of the Cyber elves,small,electronic beings with the power to enhance Reploid abilities. Disgusted by the corruption that had slowly been enveloping the Hunters since Sigma went over to the other side,X even battled for his Human friends alone...
At long last,X destroyed Sigma once & for all,& began to live out his dream of creating a place where Humans could feel always safe from the Maverick threat.
After many years,the city of Neo Arcadia was completed,but things only got worse from there...
X dissapeared shortly after the completion,during an encounter with a strange cyber elf & when he returned,he was different. It seemed that he believed that the best way to keep humans safe was to destroy any Reploid that disagreed with the government or showed any sign of problems at all. The world leaders & captains of industry moved into Neo Arcadia's government. The Maverick Hunters disbanded & were absorbed into Neo Arcadia's military...
Many Reploids were captured,put to death or even brainwashed on trumped up charges of being Mavericks.
Those Reploids who didn't wish to be destroyed were forced to flee the New city of Neo Arcadia & hide in the ruins of Megopolis,the old City.
These Resistance forces seek to find a way to end the persecution of their kind,but they are very weak. Their only hope is the only Reploid who ever stood a chance against Megaman X...
Megaman Zero,episode 1: Ressurection of the hero
*In a dank swamp,7 figures & a cyber elf run through the mud & stop behind some trees*
Milan: I...I think we lost them.
Passy: What now?
Ciel: We should rest here for awhile.
Milan: No,if we stop for too long they'll find us for sure! We have to press on,at least untill we reach the ruins.
Soldier #1: Come on,Milan. Why do you always have to be such a hardass? It's not like we-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!*gets shot in the back*
Milan: They found us! RUN!
*Milan & Ciel take off while the other soldiers cover them. Soldier #2 fires on an X drone & kills it,but the he is dropped by another. the remaining 3 high tail it after their comrades with more X drones in persuit*
*Enter Neo Arcadian command center*
Operator*sitting at console*: Squad 16 has located a group of Mavericks at point BLR-0,comander.
Comander: BLR-0?...The ruins! Looks like the tipoff was right. Launch the Golem units! Make sure they're all eliminated! Whatever is in that lab,those Mavericks won't get it on my watch!
Operator: Are you sure about that,sir? We already have several Arachnodrones scouring the inside of the building.
Comander: Multipurpose survey robots are not designed to fight armed & dangerous Mavericks! Send the Golems,NOW!
Operator: Aye,sir! Open all Golem launch bays!
*Golems launch*
*Back in the swamp*
Soldier #3: I think we almost got 'em!* blasts another X drone*
Soldier #4: What's that!?
*A Golem comes up & fires & an energy beam that kills both of them*
Soldier #5: NO!*opens fire on the Golem but the shots barely scratch the paint,so he runs for it*What kind of monster is that?
*Meanwhile,inside the ruins*
Milan: There are Arachnodrones here! They must be searching for Zero,too!*shoots at the Arachnodrones*
Ciel: But...how? Do you think they got the same message we did?
Milan: Either that,or somebody tipped 'em off about what we were doing.
Soldier #5: Milan! Ciel! The others,they're...
Milan: No time to worry about that. Are there any X drones left?
Soldier: 3,& this big thing that came outta nowhere! I tried shooting at it but it didn't make a scratch!
Milan: No! Not a Golem! We have to finish this mission,& quickly,before it can find us!
*They reach the end of the hall*
Ciel: No! It's a dead end!
Passy: No,it isn't. I can feel a strong energy just beyond this wall. He's close. We just have to get through here somehow.
Milan: No worries.*pulls out a bomb* Demolition charges. Never leave home without 'em. *sets the charge on the wall* Everybody stand clear!
*Wall blows up and our heroes come through*
Soldier: Look! *points to a capsule* It must be Zero!
Milan: You go take a look,Ciel. We'll guard the door.
Ciel: Right. *walks over & examines the pod* Oh no...
Passy: What is it,Ciel? Is it the wrong capsule?
Ciel: No,it's Zero,but look at him! *points to a very deteriorated & rotten Zero* When this room's roof caved in it must've damaged the stasis lock machanism. Zero's body has been exposed to the elements for years & years. There's no way he'll be able to help us like this! Hmm...if we carried him back to base,mabye Cerveau could fix him,but there's no way we'd ever make it...
Passy: Ciel. Look at me. I'm a nurse type cyber elf. Fixing busted reploids is what I do best. If I use all my power I should be able to pull it off.
Ciel: But if you do that you'll...
Passy: I know. It's what I was created to do. I know it's tough for humans & reploids to understand,but some creatures don't have to go through the pain of looking for the meaning of their lives. If you don't let me serve my purpose-
Soldier: AAAHHHH!!!*Gets shot dead by the X drones*
Milan: They're here!!!
Ciel: Milan! Take cover!!!
Milan: No! I have to protect you! *gets shot* Aaaahh!!!
Ciel: MILAAAAAANNNNN!!!!!!!
Passy: Ciel! They're getting closer! Ciel?
Ciel: ...
Passy: CIEL!!!
Ciel: Huh? Oh no...
Passy: It's time. Goodbye Ciel.
Ciel: Thank you...
Passy: No,Ciel. I should be thanking you....HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Ciel: PASSSSSSSSSSYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
*As the X drones move in for the kill,Passy turns into energy & flows into Zero's body. The stasis pod shatters in a flash of light & Zero is left standing in the glow.*
Ciel: Zero...Zero is ressurected...Zero! Save me,please!
Zero:...Alright...*produces the Z-magnum on his arm & blasts the X drones* Who are...
Ciel: There'll be time for that later. Right now we have to get out of here!
*Ciel & Zero head back through the demolished wall to the main hallway. Zero kills several Arachnodrones & more X drones show up & blast Zero.*
Ciel: Zero!
Zero: I'm...alright. Just keep behind me.
*Zero blasts the X drones. A beamsword X drone sneaks up behind Ciel & grabs her,holding its beam to her throat.*
Ciel: Zero!!!
*Zero stands there a second & then fires a shot at the celing. A piece of it comes down on the X drone's head,causing him to drop Ciel. While Ciel runs from it,Zero blows its head off.*
Zero: I think that was the last of them. Are you...
Ciel: I'm fine.
Zero: I was going to say; "Are you human?" You seem a little weak to be a reploid.
Ciel:...Hehe...yeah...I guess I am weak. Even for a human. But that doesn't matter as long as I have you*dreamy smile*...Oh! Now that we've lost the X drones,allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ciel. I'm a scientist for the resistance. I came here to find you with my comrades,but they...
Zero: Find me...wait! What was that name you kept calling me? Zero?
Ciel: That's your name. You mean you don't remember? Hmm...the leaky stasis lock must've caused some memory deterioration,as well. Don't worry,I'm sure whoever put you in stasis backed up your files on the lab's computers. It is standard procedure for hibernation prep. I saw some terminals that looked like they still work when we came in. Come. It's this way.
*Zero & Ciel walk down the hall only to find...*
Ciel: Goddamnit! It's caved in. I don't suppose you have any demolition charges on you?
Zero: I don't even think I remember what a demolition charge is.
Ciel: It's a small bomb used for demolition.
Zero: What's demolition?
Ciel: *Sigh* Look,mabye there's another way out. I think mabye-
*Floor starts cracking*
Zero: Ciel! Look out!
Ciel: Huh? Ahhhh!!!
*The floor gives way as Zero jumps in & grabs Ciel & they fall down the pit together*
Zero & Ciel:
W

Umph!
Zero: Are you alright Ciel?
Ciel: Wow...that's twice you saved me...you are a hero*hugs Zero*
Zero: ...
Ciel: Oh,I'm sorry. Um...wait a second. What's that?*points at another hallway*
Zero: It looks like another passage. We should take a look.
*They walk down the passage only to find another dead end.*
Ciel: Oh,real nice! I'm starting to think this just isn't my day.
Zero: Shh. Do you hear something?
Ciel: What is it,Zero?
Zero: I don't know,but whatever it is,it's getting closer...
*We hear a rumbling sound that grows progressively louder untill a huge wire guided arm bursts through the wall & grabs Ciel.*
Zero: CIEL!!!
Ciel: ZERO!!!
*Zero rushes through the hole & confronts the Golem.*
Ciel: Run Zero! You can't hurt it with your buster!
Zero: I can't do that. I'm a hero. You said it yourself.
*The Golem fires its beam cannon at Zero,but he jumps out of the way & shoots at it with the Z-Magnum.*
Damn! It didn't do Jack! Wait...
*He jumpkicks off the wall & fires at the Golem's head. The Golem is reeling in pain but still maintains its grip on Ciel*
Ciel: It worked! Get him in the head again,Zero! Knock his freakin' block off!!!
Zero: I'll try. *Charges the buster* Alright,ugly! Have some of this!!! HAAA!!!*Fires at the Golem's head again,causing it even more damage & smoke starts coming out of its head*
Ciel: Yay! Keep it up,Zero! You're doing it!
*The Golem Fires at the cieling,causing huge chunks of masonry to fall on Zero*
Ciel: ZERO!!!
Zero: Ugh...I don't think I can...beat...him...
Unknown voice: You can do it Zero...
Zero: Who...?
Unknown: Use...the sword...
*There is a flash & small white object falls from the air. Zero picks it up & ignites the beam sabre*
Zero: Alright,you monster. This is it...YOU! ARE! MINE!!!!!!*jumps up & slices the Golem clean in half. Zero gets down to cover Ciel as the halves explode in mid air over her*
Ciel: What was that?
Zero: I don't know,but it sounded...familiar...
Ciel: Heh...hehehe...hahaha!
Zero: What's so funny?
Ciel: Nothing. I'm just happy...I finally found you...Zero...Zero the legendary reploid...hahahaha!
Zero: But...what if you're wrong. I don't know who I am. Mabye I'm not...
Ciel: No,you are. Only a true hero could destroy a monster like the Golem. Come,we can look for backup data later. Right now we have to get home. Look,there's a Transerver. It can teleport us back to base. This must be what they used to bring the other drones here. Come on.
Zero: Alright. Lets go.
*They step into the transerver & warp away.*
*Meanwhile in a darkened room in Neo Arcadia*
Comander: He destroyed every last drone in the lab. He even managed to stop the Golem. He is a definate threat to our security.
Voice from the shadows: And you're sure it's Zero?
Comander: He looked a litle different than in the file photos,sir but I'm sure it was him.
X: *steps out of the shadows* So he has returned...again on the side of the Mavericks,is that it? Then it's clear what I must do...
Comander: What,sir?
X: To save mankind I must....
DESTROY ZERO!!!
*Roll credits*
Unknown: Next time on Megaman Zero...
Zero has returned to the battlefield,but very much has changed. Will he be able to make sense of this strange new world in time to save a pair of rebels from execution,& defeat the executioner?
