Well, here's the first fight in the MMZ4 timeline:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Neo Arcadia
"Lord Weil, Ragnarok has begun." Craft enters the room and points to the screen. "All members of the Einherjar are in their positions. What do you want to do with the human settlement?"
"Excellent, make sure to bring some of the traitors back alive. I'll set an example for any other humans who will try and defy me." Craft doesn't even flinch at the man's plans to kill them.
"I'll go check and check the security cameras for any information on where the settlement is located." Craft leaves the room as Weil looks on.
"Soon, Craft, you will see what my true plan is." A sinister cackle is heard throughout the whole city as Weil finishes his sentence.
-----------------------------------------------------------
There's nothing here that can help us. Craft watches the security tape from when the humans broke out of Neo Arcadia. Wait, what's that?
Craft zooms in on something that catches his eyes. That's impossible! Looks like I'll need to get to the Settlement as soon as possible.
"So, Craft, have you found out anything yet?" The intercom in the room turns on as Weil's speaks.
"Not yet, Lord Weil, I'll go and conduct an investigation on my own. It seems there might be something that will endanger our plans."
"Very well, Craft. You seem pretty eager to go to the Settlement all of a sudden. Are you sure you didn't find anything important?"
"It's nothing that you need to concern yourself with, Lord Weil." Craft warps out of Neo Arcadia and into Area Zero.
"It doesn't matter what anyone tries to do, Craft. No one can stop me at this point, remember that."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Area Zero
"Commander, what are you doing here?" The turtle like reploid stands up and salutes as Craft warps in. "The Particle Beam is operational. It will only be a matter of time before it is within range of Area Zero."
"Good, I'm here to looking for the Settlement. I thought I would drop by my most loyal soldiers, Heat Genblem."
"Thank you, Commander Craft." Heat Genblem watches as his commander searches the area. "Look! There seems to be some activity in that area." Heat Genblem points to a red dot.
"That should be a good lead in my search, thanks." Craft turns to leave and sees Heat Genblem still awaiting orders. "Just stay here and protect the Particle Beam from Zero and anyone else in the Resistance. I'll take care of this on my own."
-----------------------------------------------------------
There doesn't seem to be anyone here. Craft walks pass a dark forest a dark cave. I don't think I'll find any humans here.
"Who's there, show yourself!" What? Someone's here? Craft turns to find a cloaked black figure.
"I didn't think I'd find any reploids in Area Zero. I am Craft, soldier of Lord Weil. If you don't take me to the Settlement, then I'll be forced to destroy you."
"Well, I'm not apart of the Settlement, so I can't help you there." The reploid shifts his body until he is facing Craft. "However, since you're a soldier of Weil's. I'll destroy you!"
"Fine, if that's how you want it." Craft gets out his gun and aims it at the black reploid. "I'll destroy all enemies of Lord Weil!"
What? He's disappeared! The black reploid reappears behind Craft and slashes him with his hand, now transformed into a saber. "Looks like I underestimated you, who are you?"
"I am Forte. Tell me, Craft, what's holding you back?"
Craft becomes confused at the question. "What do you mean?"
"Your attacks lack spirit. You don't even know why you are fighting. Someone like you cannot defeat me."
Craft gets out a bayonet from his gun. He dashes at Forte, but Forte manages to grab the knife between his hands. What?
"Why is someone with your power fighting against Lord Weil? Can't you tell that resisting him is useless?"
"If I wanted to count the reasons I don't want to join him, I would've lost track a long time ago. As for resisting being useless, I've heard that line before, and it has never been proven right yet."
Forte gets out his buster and takes a shot at Craft. Craft gets ready to counter, but was stopped as a he figure appears in front of him.
"What are you doing, Genblem?"
"I'll fight this reploid. After all, the commander should only show up after his subordinates have been beat. Go on and search for the Settlement."
"Alright then, I leave it to you." Craft warps out as Heat Genblem prepares to fight.
"Now, reploid, you will see the power of the Einherjar. Ragnarok shall wake the humans from their stupidity, and I, Heat Genblem, will crush all those who stand in our way."
"Fine, if you really want to die early, go ahead." Forte aims his buster at the green turtle like reploid, but he just turns so that his shell absorbs the blast.
What!? He managed to block that!? Genblem still had his back to Forte as eh starts to shake his arms. He lets go and launches a flaming uppercut sending out several flames, one of them managing to hit Forte.
"I'll make you pay for that!" Forte prepares to attack, but sees Heat Genblem withdrawing his head into the shell.
What's he trying to do? Flames start to come out of his shell in a wavy pattern. Forte jumps away, but lands in the flames and gets damaged.
"That does it! DIE!" Heat Genblem's attack stops as his head come sback out. Forte tries to hit him, but he just turns and prepares another counter attack.
Forte gets out of the way as Heat Genblem unleashes one flame. Forte manages to dash under him after he unleashes the attack and slashes with his sabers.
"Looks like that counter of yours isn't as powerful as I first thought. There's a small time delay when you perform it and you have to be standing still to sue it."
"You may have been able to find the weakness of that attack, but that was only the tip of my power!" Heat Genblem fully withdraws himself into his shell and starts spinning. Flames surround him as he does this and starts moving upwards, bouncing off the walls.
Forte uses his jets to jump high and avoid the attack and drop down. Looks like he can't get me here. Heat Genblem continues to go upwards before he stops in mid air. What's he trying to do?
Heat Genblem starts to spin in a clockwise direction. A massive solar ray is launching from the hole where his head was. Forte manages to dodge one full rotation, but the second one manages to catch up to him, and he dodges the third one.
"Looks like you can't hold out for much longer. I will defeat you for Lord Weil and Commander Craft." Heat Genblem withdraws his head into his shell once again and prepares to launch the flame thrower.
"Oh no you don't, the same trick won't work twice on me!" Forte appears in front of Heat Genblem with blinding speed as he launches the flamethrower. Forte positions himself just at the point where the flames arch, so he doesn't get hit.
Forte manages to slash at Heat Genblem three times with his Saber before he stops attacking and Genblem withdraws. He's still withdrawing.
"Now DIE!" Forte launches one charged blast at Heat Genblem, hitting him. Forte follows up with another one but Heat Genblem manages to prepare his counter.
"That's it!" Before Heat Genblem could use his uppercut, Forte appears in front of him and grabs onto his hand. Forte's other arm becomes a saber as he slashes him.
"I won't be beaten like this! SOLAR DEATH CANNON!" Heat Genblem uses his fire spin again, followed by his Solar Death Cannon.
Forte avoids it by staying right behind the beam. During the third rotation, Forte manages to get in a charged shot while Heat Genblem is attacking.
"Why can't I hit you?" Heat Genblem withdraws his head into his shell once again and prepares to attack. Forte appears in front of him again and rams his blade through his shell, destroying him.
"Gragh! I failed to destroy my target. I'm sorry, Commander Craft…" Heat Genblem explodes as Forte watches.
"It looks like there are only seven more members left. After that, I shall crush that Weil with my own two hands. Zero, let's just see which one of us gets to him first."
Forte warps out of the area after he finishes talking.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Particle Beam Cannon
"Zero, one of the members of Einherjar should be right behind that door, be careful." Zero enters the room, but finds it empty.
"What?" Zero hears Rouge's voice on the other end of the communicator.
"What is it?"
"The signal just disappeared. Something happened to the reploid. Anyways, continue to shut down the Particle Beam."
"Alright, roger that."
What could've happened to the reploid guarding the Particle Beam? Guess I will never know the answer to that question.
"Alright, mission complete, preparing to transfer back."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Resistance Trailer
"Welcome back, Zero. It seems like there are only seven more members of the Einherjar left." Zero looks on the screen to see the remaining threats to Area Zero. "You should go take a break for now, I'm sure Leviathan, Fefnir, and Harpuia can handle the others for now."
"You're right, Ciel. I'll go into my room right now." Zero leaves the Commander's Room.
"I'll go and follow him. Rouge, do you have everything under control here?"
"Sure, I'll tell you if anything comes up."
"Alright, thanks."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Zero's Room
"What do you want, Ciel?" Zero senses Ciel's presence before she was able to even enter the room.
"Zero, promise me you won't push yourself too hard, okay?" Zero looks at Ciel and sees that she is worried.
"Where did that suddenly come from?" Ciel sits down beside Zero as she continues to talk.
"It's just that, we've been sending you mission after mission. Although you are a reploid, it doesn't mean you can always function at your best. Besides, I don't want to lose you. Promise me, Zero, that you'll be okay when all this is over."
Zero puts his arms around Ciel's body to comfort her. "I promise you, I won't be destroyed no matter what." The two of them sat there for a brief moment as they bring their lips closer together to share a second kiss.
"I love you, Zero."
"I love you too, Ciel."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Human Settlement
"I can't believe those two! They come in here like they're welcome and think they know more than us." The human guard sits beside Neige and some other humans.
"It can't be helped. Besides, you overdid it with the insults on the reploids." Neige answers her companion.
"Hmmph, every word I said is true. It was the reploids fault for all the wars from the very start."
"Maybe you should go to Neo Arcadia and say that to the face of the Einherjar, let's see how much guts you have then." A voice is heard throughout the camp.
"What!? Who said that?" A black reploid enters the human settlement.
"Alright, listen up. I'm not above stealing. I'm in need of repairs right now, so just hand over some materials and I'll leave this place."
"You have a lot of nerve coming in here like that. I'll make you regret it." The human guard fires his gun at the black figure, but it bounces off his armor and goes back, hitting the gun out of his arms.
"It's not like he's asking for anything important, just give him what he needs. Besides, this isn't the place to start a battle." Neige goes into the camp and gets out some materials for repairing.
"It looks like there's actually a human with a brain in this group, something very rare nowadays." The black reploid takes the materials and leaves. He pauses for a moment. "Well, thanks."
"What are you trying to do, Neige!?" The guard is outraged by her behaviour. "Are you going to help every single reploid who comes in here?"
"What were we suppose to do? Kill ourselves for something we don't really need?"
"Fine, but the next time a reploid comes in here like that; nothing will stop me from attacking."
"Alright, it's your funeral, not mine." Neige leaves the campfire and goes to her tent.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Please leave a review and tell me what you think about the story so far. As for all your suggestions, I'll try to keep that in mind, but it's pretty difficult for me to keep from shifting tenses since I just write down what seems right at the time.
