Disclaimer: I don't own 3 Doors Down song 'Here Without You'. Decided to continue this for a while. This chapter begins at the beginning of Megaman X2.
X rode on his bike down the desert road, he was quiet, after the battle of Sigma. He was more serious and colder then you could think of. He been like this for a 100 days, ever since she had died the last time he saw her face.
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
Zero, he promised her that he would find a way to bring her back, but those bastards. They lied to him, she was gone, for good it appeared. His eyes narrowed as he rode faster, not caring about the back up behind him. He went everywhere for answers, but everyone had lied to him, those lies made him even colder then before.
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
He looked up, his eyes filled with tears and anger. Zero has been his best friend…more then enough he spent time with her, he felt really close to her. But he never could tell her his true feelings. He growled, he practically beat himself up for that. Then that one day…she disappeared. Every night before the war began, all he could dream about was her face.
All the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face
It was when Zero had saved X from Vile the first time he took him on. She saved his life from death, and he felt weak for letting Vile capture him like that. Zero looked down at X, who was beating himself up.
"Damnit…I wasn't strong enough for him…but what can I do against the others?" he said, punching the ground.
"Just because you aren't strong enough yet, doesn't mean you won't become strong enough X. You still haven't reached your full potential. If you keep fighting and get stronger, someday you could even surpass me!" Zero said, holding out her hand to him, "Need a hand?" she asked.
X grabbed her hand and she helped him up. Zero might have pulled him a little too hard, cause this pull had X fall on top of Zero, both kind of blushed, embarrassed by it. X got up and turned his back hiding his blush.
"Um…yeah…surpass you? I doubt it…" he said, doubting himself. Zero got up and patted him on the back, this cheered X up a bit. She smiled, and winked.
"Course you could, you got a lot of potential in ya, look I'll scout ahead to find Sigma's base, you go take care of his top commanders." She said, smiling.
Zero teleported away, leaving X alone. He kicked the ground, he missed his chance AGAIN, why couldn't he? He deeply loved Zero, but then she would have never spoken to him the same again, so he was alone.
Flashback endsThen when he did get his chance, Zero had died, reveling her true feelings for him, he admitted it to her too, but she was dead. He was alone without her love, and now his mind was cold and lonely.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
He sighed, those days were gone. He did look at Zero's arm part now and then, to remind himself of her. He wasn't the talker anymore, he didn't care though, all he had to say now and then was "Whatever" or "Sure, I'll handle it". He dreamt of Zero every night though, it kept him from being too cold.
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
Those dreams of Zero laying in his arms, every night kept him a little happy, but not completely happy. Still, he enjoyed it. He kinda smiled, every night in his dreams it was only him and her.
And tonight, there's only you and me.
X remembered one dream, so well he could play it over and over in his head. In this dream, it was he and Zero alone in a field, together with each other, and not a care in the world. Zero laid in his arms, as X laid on the back of a tree, all he could see in this dream out for miles and miles, not a single person to say hello to them.
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
Zero slept calmly in his arms, her long golden hair shined with her helmet off, dreaming peacefully in his arms. X looked down and smiled at her, life was good in his dreams, but every morning he was woken. This angered him every morning, some of the Hunters were scared too wake him up now and then, life for X in the real world was too overrated with missions and how everyone trying to cheer him up.
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go
Alone, he had no one to be with, he was without his true love, and he couldn't do anything but dream about her, X speed up his bike's speed.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
X was still far away from his destination, he didn't care, he could daydream about Zero all day, so did, he remembered something Zero said to him a long time ago.
"Follow your heart X, if you do, you'll find what you want." Zero had said. X closed his eyes, seeing the dream in his head again. It brought him silent peace, which he enjoyed.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me
The road ahead now, was hard to do, but it wouldn't take his love for Zero far away.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done.
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
He sighed, his radar beeped, he looked up, the base was near and he narrowed his eyes, sure Zero was gone, but he kept his thoughts of her secret, he knew one day she come back. He speed up, knowing that after this mission he could dream of Zero again.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me
Before entering the base, X said only one thing. "For you…Zero.." The blue bomber then stormed the base, not knowing that a certain someone was behind him.
