Alright faitfull readers, time for the story to pick up enjoy!
It was a warm sunny day in forest region 1022A, the birds were perched in the nests they had made within the tree borgs, and there was a layer of fresh dew upon the leaves. It was quiet, except for the chirps of birds and the clicks of squirrels, and there was a sense of serenity about. That is, until a beam of blinding white and red energy shot down upon the ground, like a bolt of lightning thrown from the heavens. When the energy reformed it showed Zero, standing proud, ready for action. As he walked along he scanned the area left to right with his eyes, his very presence upsetting nature, there was something different about him that warded off animals, as if they could sense something was terribly wrong. Laughing softly, his feet making deep depressions in the soft ground, the smirk still upon his face, he walked on. Slowly but surely he walked, a certain swagger in his step that indicated a level of calmness. And that's when he sensed it, an energy signature. He couldn't quite figure out what it had come from, but he knew it was unnatural in this area. He started to run forward, dashing through the forest as fast as his thrusters and feet would take him. Twisting and turning, spinning and leaping, contorting his body like he had done so very long ago to avoid his enemies, but now it was to avoid the obstacles that lay in his path. He jumped high into the sky then, using his double jump ability and then whipping his saber out of its holster behind his shoulder, he activated it upside down and let himself drop blade first down onto the ground. Using a technique that he had learned from magma dragoon back in the 4th maverick uprising, now modified to his liking, his sabers blade exploded in flame, completely eradicating the fake ground beneath him, setting it a blaze. As he dropped through the fire, he had to shield his eyes to it, lest he wanted his optical receptors to be singed. He deactivated his saber and slid it back into its sheave before landing, hitting hard enough onto the ground to feel the shock from the drop. He picked himself up from a kneel and dusted himself off before proceeding, morphing his right lower arm into a buster. He walked quickly through the corridor before a large metal body dropped down in front of him, making him stumble backwards. Luckily, this gave him the perfect opportunity to create a combo move by combining an old technique learned from web spider in the 4th maverick uprising, Rakuhouha; and one that he learned from getting infected with the virus in the 5th uprising, the Z slash burst. Zero once again took his saber out, charging it as the new robot watched on in curiosity. And then, Zero unleashed his attack with such force that the energy slash that exploded out from this saber and collided with the new enemy, slashing clean through its right arm and leg, and hitting it off balance. Then, Zero reared back, his saber ready to thrust forward, and thrust he did. An orb of white energy appeared a few inches from the opening in his saber and then expanded into a ring, moving back along it as a long spike of white energy burst out from the saber, thrusting into and through the robot. Zero smirked and then the white energy turned to purple energy that was the normal for his saber after all of the enhancements he had added on. And in a flurry of motion, Zero slashed through the thing multiple times, easily five times per second. Soon he stopped his onslaught and deactivated his saber, jumping back a ways as all of the parts of the robotic foe started to slide apart. That's when zero charged his buster, and thrust it forward, letting out a massive blast of plasma energy that came out in almost a beam and made Zero slide back, completely atomizing the new foe. And all zero did was put away his saber, morph his buster back into his lower arm, and laugh out loud as he moved on past what dust was left of the creation. And that's when he heard it, a faint sound of something he hadn't heard in a very long time. Now very curious, and slightly concerned, he dashed through the hall until he found a strange door unlike any he had seen. It actually appeared to be much like a shutter more than a door, but never the less it let out a hiss before sliding up into the sealing and revealing a large circular room. The room was very dark so Zero proceeded with caution, but it seemed to be alright to enter. That's when the lights turned on, and Zero had to cover his eyes in order for them to adjust. That's when he heard it again, and now he knew what it was… it was clapping. Zero took his arm away from his face and had to wince to see even the slightest bit, and even then his vision was blurred. And that's when he heard something other than mere clapping; he heard a voice, a voice he hadn't heard since just before he was called to duty in the 4th maverick uprising.
"Well well Zero… it has been such a long time since I've seen you…" the voice said from the figure that Zero could not make out at the moment, but oddly, he recognized it. It took a while before he realized who he was talking to, but he had a slight idea on who it was.
"Y-you're the one from my dream!" Zero stated, still trying to adjust his eyes to the light "you're the one who told me to destroy your nemeses!"
The figure chuckled, his chest raising his arms as he laughed, as if they were crossed. "So you remember that little message I implanted in your brain then don't you…"
Zero started to regain his sight again, now knowing that it was coming from a human, but who it was he wasn't sure yet, though he felt compelled to ask something "tell me! Who exactly are you! Let my questions end!" Zero threw his hands back behind him, now balled into fists and clenched tightly. He winced from the light, and his nose and brow was scrunched up in confused rage. And that's when all sight returned to him, and for some reason he gasped when he saw the figure standing before him. It was an elderly man that looked to be about 75, yet he looked to be in very good health. His white hair was wild and spread out straight back behind him, almost spiked. The top of his head was bald and the same could be said about the front up to his temples, where his hair started from where his side burns would be if he had them. There was an insane yet calm smirk upon his face and his gaze was piercing… almost exactly like Zero's. He seemed to be of good physical build but not muscular, and he stood at about five foot six. Is arms were crossed over his chest as Zero had thought, and he was dressed in a white lab coat and white dress shirt, his pants were of black khaki and his shoes were lace less brown suede leather. He uncrossed his arms then and walked forward, placing his hand over Zero's forehead gem.
"I see that my insignia has come back to existence upon you Zero" the figure said in a some what calm and collected voice, a glimmer in his eyes revealing his joy to see Zero "but I'm disappointed that you didn't accomplish what I asked you to do." Zero blinked once or twice at this, all rage fading from his face, the smirk replaced by a perplexed expression.
"But who are you!" Zero snapped at the man, and this made him step back a bit, a soft smile upon his face.
"Oh but don't you know me Zero" the man teased "I'm your creator, your father… I am the one known to all simply as wily." Wily closed his eyes then and let out a sigh "it has been a very long time since I saw you activate Zero, and you have grown from the mindset of kill everything that moves" Wily chuckled then as he opened his eyes and placed his hand upon Zero's shoulder, gazing into his creations eyes "even though you have not destroyed my rivals insult to me, you still are something greater than anything else I have ever made. And together, we can rule over all!"
Surprised a bit by Wily's words and the tone he took, Zero pushed Wily's hand off of his shoulder and let out a sigh of his own "then Wily, if you are truly who you say you are, first of all tell me why I should help you, and second of all tell me who it is I was supposed to destroy."
Wily laughed at this, and then continued "well to answer your first question, this world and that that the humans possess… I believe it is called NE, they both need a strong lead. They need the power and wisdom of someone they can trust, while at the same time they need a genius behind their work. This is where you and I come in… I have the means to fix the glitch that happens within all things that that fool Light ever built, for I am truly the greater robotics engineer. I really think that the way things are being run right now, more and more wars will start up and eventually we will all be consumed by it once again."
Zero snorted and raised an eyebrow "I do have to agree with you there… but if my hunches are correct, you're the one who has been backing Sigma all of this time!"
Wily coughed, he honestly didn't know how to answer that one, but like always he thought up something to say "it is true that I was helping Sigma, but it was only to try and bring you back to your original power and skill zero. Do you really think you would be this strong if Sigma had not attacked so many times!"
These words caught Zero off guard, since of course they were true "well… you are right. So answer my second question then before I agree to anything Wily! Who is it you intended me to destroy!"
"Are you so oblivious to the truth Zero!" Wily asked, his tone showing some annoyance "I wanted you to destroy the only one who would stand any chance against you! I wanted you to destroy the one who was spawned from my rival's work!"
"Then you want me to destroy…"
"Yes! I want you to destroy Mega Man X!"
