Chapter 2: Suffering
One week later:
"Zero!" said Elf-X over the intercom. "Come to the lab. "My new body's being tested. I'll have a buster again!"
Zero started walking downstairs from Ciel's bedroom. As he thought about how great life was, he remembered that it wasn't always this way…
5 years ago…
"Zero, we need you down here!" shouted a soldier over the intercom. "There's a battle going on! Ever since you killed Omega X, which caused the downfall of Neo Arcadia last year, groups involved have had disagreements, and now it's turned into a war! We need both sides to calm down. The Resistance is getting more and more involved, and if we enter, it's going to be a bloody battle!"
Zero grabbed his Z-saber, Z-Buster, and Chain Rod, then ran to the teleportation room.
Once he entered the battlefield, he overheard 2 soldiers in combat. One was from a group called Viral Arcadia, and one was from the Revolution Force.
"You guys are idiots!" screamed the 1st soldier as he shot at the second. "With the power of the remains of the Sigma Virus, our team would have been unstoppable! But you protested, and now Neo Arcadia is gone!"
Sigma Virus? Zero remembered a little about it. But how did they get their hands on it?
"The virus would have corrupted us! We needed to stick with Neo Arcadia's original agenda!" shouted the 2nd.
…Zero remembered this as he walked down. But then all of a sudden…
"BWEEM! BWEEM!" blazed the alarms. Zero looked behind him. A great blue orb surrounded by a red light crashed through the walls into Ciel's room. Zero heard a scream.
'"CEIL! Shit!"
Zero dashed up to Ciel's room. A blue figure with a purple aura held Ciel by the neck.
"Let go of her, ASSHOLE!" screamed Zero as he shot at the tyrant. All of the bullets hit an invisible shield.
Ciel was crying with pain. Her body had been wounded by the crash.
'Z…Zero….get…out of here…he's too…strong…" choked Ciel.
"CIEL!"
The robot increased its grip, and blood trickled from Ciel's neck.
She died with tears in her eyes.
The robot turned around to face Zero.
"Omega….X?"
"NO!" yelled a virus-infected Omega as he threw Ciel's body at Zero's feet.
"Virus X!"
