Twilight Desert
Leviathan walks on in the desert as she searches for any signs of the Dark Elf. She manages to catch a small glimpse of it as she pursues.
That's strange, I could've sworn that she went this way, I guess I'll continue searching, she moved on and saw an orange reploid. Wait, who's that?
"Look who we have here, if it isn't Fairy Leviathan of the three Guardians," the fox like spotted her, "I am Cubit Foxtar of Dr. Weil's elite reploids, he ordered us to search for the Dark Elf and dispose any Guardians that get in the way."
What? Weil ordered his reploids to destroy us, I need to warn Harpy and Fefnir, she tried to contact the other two Guardians but the signal was jammed. Guess I'll have to fight here then. Leviathan got her staff ready and prepared for battle.

Neo Arcadia Repair Bay
"Leviathan are you there?" Harpuia spoke into the intercom and got no reply. "This doesn't look good, I'll go look for her as soon as my repairs are finished."
Why am I worried about her so much, I didn't even care about Phantom or Master X as much before their death.
Harpuia looked at the snoring Fefnir, and decided to leave a note before he left. He started writing it quickly, and after he finished, he started working on his repairs to be able to help Leviathan.
I just hope I'm not too late.

Twilight Desert
Foxtar fired several balls of flame upward and Leviathan got hit and took quite a bit of damage. Great, just my luck, she had to be fire based. Leviathan swings her staff at Foxtar, but Foxtar somersaulted out of the way and countered with her own attack.
Nine fireballs now surrounded Foxtar and she aimed it at Leviathan one at a time. Leviathan managed to dodge the first seven, and deflected the other two by swinging her staff.
Foxtar prepared another volley of fire attacks but was caught off guard when Leviathan started twirling her staff and spiked ice particles appeared hitting Foxtar. While Foxtar was stunned, Leviathan held her staff out and fired the tip of her staff. It hit Foxtar and the tip regrows.
Foxtar got back up and was surrounded by nine flames again. Leviathan prepared to deflect it again, but Foxtar fired three at a time. This time four of the shots connected with Leviathan, weakening her.
She just had to be fire-based, I can't afford to keep getting hit like this. Foxtar prepared another volley of flames, but Leviathan used her staff to lift off the ground and right on top of Foxtar. Leviathan thrusted her staff downwards and impaled Foxtar. She followed that with three other attacks and Foxtar is now running low on energy as well.
"That's it, enough playing around." Foxtar's body was then engulfed in flames, and she was divided into five large floating flames. The flames surrounded Leviathan and attacked. Leviathan collapsed from the attack and is now unconscious.
"Guess the Guardians aren't so tough after all." The flames connected and Foxtar reappeared. "Now it's time to finish you off." She raised her hand and a small flame appeared.
Before Foxtar could attack, lightning shot down at her and now she was weakened. No, my weakness, the electricity is surging through my body. Harpuia appeared next to Leviathan and raised both his blades for battle.
"I guess I'll retreat now, no sense in trying to fight you," she looked at Leviathan's unconscious form, "we'll finish this later." Foxtar teleported out. Harpuia lifted up Leviathan and the two of them teleported as well.

Repair Bay
Leviathan is now conscious and she told the two other Guardians of what she just found out from Foxtar.
"This is bad, if we're going to escape, now would be the best time to do it." Harpuia looked at the other two Guardians.
"What about Leviathan? Shouldn't we wait until our repairs are done?" Harpuia realized the problem with Leviathan but thought up a possible solution.
"If we stay here, Weil's reploids might try to ambush us." The other two Guardians still hadn't heard Harpuia's plan for the problem.
"How am I supposed to get there, Harpy?" Leviathan was curious why he still wanted to go with the plan, "There's no way that I can move anywhere like this."
"Simple, I'll just carry you to the Resistance base." Although Harpuia's face looked calm, deep down he was embarrassed at having thought of such a plan. What if she says no? She'll never look at me the same way again.
"Alright, Harpy, let's go.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Resistance Base
"Ciel we have here figures approaching us, it's the Guardians." The operator told Ciel. Ciel was very surprised that the Guardians would approach them, she went outside to see what they want.
Ciel went outside to see what they wanted. At first she only sees Fefnir and Harpuia, but when she edged closer she noticed the damaged Leviathan behind Harpuia's back.
"Ciel, we need your help, Weil's up to no good and his reploids are targeting us. I know you have no reason to trust us after what happened, but please help Leviathan."
As she looked at Harpuia, she remembered something that Cerveau told her a while back when Elpizo was in the Resistance.
-------Flashback-------
"I'm so glad that Zero's and back with us." Zero has just appeared in their doorsteps out of nowhere and many soldiers are celebrating.
"There's something interesting I heard from the soldier on top of the tower, he said before Zero was found, he saw a green figure appear and then fly away."
"A green figure, can it be…?"
"Ciel, the repairs on Zero have been finished, he is conscious now."
-------End Flashback-------
"Alright, you guys can stay here, I can't turn down an injured reploid." Ciel lead them inside and the Guardians looked at themselves surprised she accepted so easily.
There might be a bit of problems with some of the other Resistance soldiers, but we need all the help we can get. Besides, if it really was Harpuia who brought, then it's the least I can do.
The Guardians went into the Resistance Base and they were each assigned a room, though there were some looks of doubt apparent on the faces of Resistance soldiers. Harpuia brought Leviathan to Cerveau's lab and waited by her side as he watched the repairs beign made.

Deep in Cyberspace
A black reploid floated in darkness lost in his thoughts as he recovered. There is a hidden part of cyberspace that is usually only accessible by reploids in a cyber-elf form. Sometimes, I wonder how I got the ability to create a portal to this world. I'm tired from my fight, I need to rest a bit.
Most normal reploids would be lost in here, in fact I have never met anyone here yet, not even a reploid in cyber-elf form. The only things I've ever seen are the remains of reploids long gone, this is truly the darkest part of Cyberspace.
Forte looked forward and saw a bright light. He moved and noticed it was a figure, the first he ever met here. When he got a closer look, he was startled as he recognized it. It was a figure that was all too familiar to him.
"Rockman X…"
"It's been a long time, Forte."
