Foreshadow in the Sky
A bright beam of light flashed inside the Resistance Base in the operating room. The light diminished and Zero had taken its place. After a long, hard battle, Zero had finally returned to where he belonged.
"Zero!" a young female voice cried. It was Ciel, the young lady who had been Zero's supporter and had also been the one trying to solve the energy problem. Now, her concern was Zero. "Zero! Are you alright? What happened to Elpizo? Can you walk?" She had bombarded Zero with so many questions. Zero could have easily fainted.
Thankfully, Cerveau came running towards Zero. "Zero! Let me repair you!" he said not even letting Zero respond.
After a few hours, Zero had been fully repaired and was as good as new. Ciel had been next to him through the entire process. As soon as Zero stood up, he looked at his armor and examined all of his weapons.
"Thanks, Cerveau." he said.
"Not a problem at all Zero, and thank you for helping us." Cerveau said equally grateful.
Realizing now that Zero was repaired, she now wanted to know. "Zero…what happened to Elpizo?" She asked with a gentle voice now, lacking the energy and concern she had had before.
"…" Zero started. "…The Dark Elf turned him into a cyber elf. It looks like the Dark Elf wasn't always evil." X had told him someone named Dr. Weil put a curse on her. He wanted to know who he was.
Ciel seemed somewhat relieved that Zero didn't have to retire Elpizo to stop him. Her ways of solving things never included violence. "Well, I'm glad you are back Zero, I…we have all worried about you." Her face turned a bright pink when she said that.
Zero hadn't noticed this, but Cerveau laughed. "Zero, I have something for you!" he boomed with a proud voice.
"Hmm?" Zero asked.
"It's a new device I call 'The Form Extractor!' It's a marvelous invention, Zero." Cerveau said, and held out a belt.
"You see, since you have many different forms, this device helps you adept to battle much quicker." Zero already seemed interested. Cerveau continued, "To use this, you set three initial forms of your choice, although your original form will be the default form. The three forms you set will be indicated on these buttons here." He pointed to the three white buttons. "They will be colored according to what form you pick. And all you have to do is press the button in battle and you will quickly change forms. No delay time at all!" he said triumphantly.
Zero put the belt on and picked three random forms: X form, Active form, and Power form. The buttons changed color according to what form color it was. Zero pressed on the blue button first. After a split-second he changed into his X form.
"Whoa!" He said in amazement. "That's incredible!"
Then he tried pressing the orange button. In no time at all, he quickly changed into Active form. Then he pressed the purple button. He changed into Power form. Zero had an expression of a child on Christmas Morning.
Cerveau shook his head. "No, no no! Not good at all! I need to make some more adjustments." He said, his proud voice long gone. Zero looked at the belt and then handed it to Cerveau. "I'll tell you when I'm done. In the mean time, get some rest." Cerveau said.
"Great idea! Zero, I'll show you to your room!" Ciel beamed and walked Zero to his room.
Change of scene
In the Neo Arcadia, the three generals sulked in their room of operations. Bored, and at the same time mad that Zero had beaten them once again. The hotheaded crimson reploid slammed his fist onto a table and shouted, "Damn him! He beat me again! Why can't I win?" He was Fefnir. Zero had beaten him before a couple of times.
"Maybe it is because you are too ignorant to keep up with him," a female reploid's voice said. Leviathan was the second general in the Neo Arcadia. Zero too, had beaten her before. She loved every minute fighting him. Win or lose.
Fefnir didn't want to admit that he had fun losing, but he did actually. Harpuia, the third general, was not in the Neo Arcadia. He was out flying, partially to patrol, and partially to clear his head.
At the top of the Neo Arcadia, where Zero and Elpizo fought, he didn't find any of them. Instead, he found parts of X's body. Harpuia thought they belonged to the Copy X, whom he claimed to be the real one, but the Copy's parts were in the chamber being repaired. This confused him. Why would his parts be there…? Did he have another body? Or perhaps…He was utterly confused. Just then, he saw something a few miles away from him. It would seem to be a big ship, or a colony.
"What's this?" he asked himself aloud. He flew over to the sky colony, and it seemed humongous upfront. Oddly enough, there was no security or anyone checking him to come in. There was just an empty dock. He walked in gingerly, although his body hadn't fully recovered after his recent fight with Zero. Even the city inside the colony seemed empty.
"What in the world is going on?" he asked himself aloud.
"Nothing at all." a voice came from behind Harpuia. Before he could even turn around, a powerful splash of Ice elemental energy hit his back. Harpuia fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Time to take out the trash." the voice said.
The alarm went off at the Resistance Base.
Zero quickly dashed to the Operation Room. "What's the emergency?" he asked.
Ciel had also arrived in the Operation Room.
One of the operators said, "A massive object is heading our way, from the sky!"
"What?" Zero asked. "Is it another ship with a bomb?" He could recall the last time an attack came from the sky.
"No, it would seem to be larger than a ship. Much larger." the operator said in concern. The second operator said in shock, "Zero…I have the coordinates. But…how?"
"It must be a trap. Whoever is in that thing must want Zero to come over there." Ciel said.
"It doesn't matter, I have to stop it." Zero said. Ciel knew she couldn't stop Zero. "Operator, trans me now!" Zero bellowed. The operator quickly teleported Zero to the coordinates.
"Zero…please be careful…" Ciel pleaded.
