The Next Age Chapter Three Part Five
The body of the "dragon" was still there…..
Xavier could see it long before they approached, still lying in it's own blood. The fatal wound caused by his Plasma cannon was prominently displayed and obvious to all. Gospel and Rush both crinkled their noses at the scent of dead flesh. Xavier felt a shudder go through him remembering how that thing had almost ended Zero's life. Rock turned to look at him, silently asking if this was the creature he had fought. All Xavier could do was nod slowly, sickened by the memory of the fight.
Rock approached it quietly, noting that it was reminiscent of the creatures he had seen on Phantasya and Dragolya in his youth. It was clearly not native to Meika.
"Must have stumbled through a Gate and got trapped here.." He sighed, looking to Zor.
"Perhaps." Zor replied, moving towards it with some hesitation and examining it's remains. "Those claws look more than sharp enough to cut armor. They could have caused the wounds on the Enforcers and its teeth could probably easily tear through a robots insides. I can't be sure until I take some samples but I think this may be what attacked and killed them."
"If it is, it's been trapped here almost twenty years." Rock added.
"It's possible." Zor replied.
Forte looked over the carcass from head to tail with out a sound, his eyes seeming to blaze with hidden rage. In a split second, he summoned his canon to his arm and fired off several volleys of high powered shots into the dead body, each hitting with a burst of plasma and flesh and completely destroying the "dragon's" stomach and chest area. Rock and Zor jumped back in shock, both wondering if Forte had gone mad.
"Forte!! What the Hell was-" Rock started to say.
"That was for my men." Forte growled and turned to move forwards once more, Gospel by his side.
Rock took a deep breath. No one dared to speak anymore of it lest Forte turn on them next. Self-control was something he wasn't known for but rather for his lack of it. The trees ahead rustled in the wind, drawing Xavier's attention away from what was going on. He was the only one who was not surprised when Vava leapt down branches and stood before the small group.
"Xa-vi-er." Vava spoke slowly, sounding out the name.
Forte immediately tensed, his Plasma canon still hot from being fired as he took an aggressive stance. The two Enforcers with him mirrored the pose, moving to protect Zor and Xavier.
"Wait! It's alright! This is Vava, Lord Sigma's servant! Don't attack!" Xavier called.
The purple clad Repliroid stood confidently and nodded to Xavier. He seemed oblivious to the Enforcers before him with their weapons drawn.
"Forte, put your canon away and order your men to do the same." Rock commanded.
"As you command..RockMan." Forte snorted, motioning to the other two Enforcers to disarm. "But I don't trust him.."
"Vava, is Lord Sigma waiting for me? Is Zero okay?" Xavier asked.
"Hai." Vava answered, pausing as he must have realized no one could understand him. " Y-es."
Xavier smiled to himself. It was like a huge weight off his shoulders to know the city must still be there and that Zero was fine.
"Shi-gu-ma wai-tin-g." Vava spoke and motioned behind him towards the ruins which once more seemed to suddenly appear and become visible through the tree branches.
Rock took a step back as he became aware of the buildings ahead. Had they been there before? Had he simply overlooked them because he had been so interested in the "dragon"? It was obvious the others were wondering the same thing, all except Xavier.
"Vava will take us into the ruins to see Lord Sigma." Xavier told the group. "He doesn't speak our language though and I don't know how to translate."
"Is it safe to follow him, Xavier?" Rock asked.
Xavier nodded. At least he thought it was safe, Vava hadn't made a move to do anything strange to them last time. He stepped towards the purple Repliroid and trailed after him as Vava moved back towards the ruins of Arasa, inviting the others to follow as well.
Rock glanced over Vava carefully, noting the canon mounted on his shoulder and the Repliroid's heavy armor. Maybe Forte was right not to trust him, something seemed awry though Rock couldn't put his finger on exactly what it was. He moved to follow Xavier, the others doing the same once they saw Rock had.
The city hadn't changed from yesterday though the sight of it still fascinated Xavier as much as it had the first time he had seen it. His awe was obviously shared by Zor who looked around with wide eyes almost like a child at an amusement park, taking out his electronic notepad and scribbling notes at a rapid pace.
"XAVIER!"
It was Zero calling for his best friend anxiously as he rushed out of Sigma's tower, thrusters blazing. He had been waiting all morning for Xavier to return so that he could show him all the neat places he had found to hang out in and play in. His eyes were bright with playful excitement like those of a young child.
"Zero!" Xavier said with a smile, grabbing Zero into a hug once he was close enough. "You're alright."
"Of course I am silly!" Zero said and squirmed free of his friends arms.
Vava paused along with the others, glancing to the two reunited friends. Zero didn't seem to notice them, his attention was focused completely on Xavier at the moment. He didn't even notice Rush padding over to him happily, sitting beside him and whining to be petted.
"Hey, I found some really neat-o spiffy stuff here, you're GOT to see it!" Zero spouted quickly, tugging on Xavier's arm.
"Shi-gu-ma wai-tin-g." Vava repeated, his glowing eye staring at Xavier intently.
"You can show me later, Zero. I've got to see Lord Sigma." Xavier replied, offering Zero a small smile.
"But he's already seen you!" Zero objected, looking at Xavier pleadingly.
Xavier took a deep breath, feeling pressure on him from both Vava and Rock. He could not run off and play, it was his responsibility to guide his stepfather and the others through the city and share his discovery with them. He felt as if on a leash.
"Zero. I'm glad to see you're okay." Rock spoke. "Rhythm is worried about you."
"I'm fine." Zero said and shrugged. "She shouldn't worry. Anys, you gotta come see this Xavier. Lord Sigma can wait till later! C'mon!"
Zero tugged on his friends arm again.
"Zero, I've got to go with Rock. This is important." Xavier spoke, pulling away.
"No way this is more important than hanging out with me!" Zero insisted.
"Xavier glanced to Rock, noting the seriousness in his eyes.
"I'm sorry Zero, I just don't have time right now." He sighed. "Maybe later."
"Xavier!!" Zero whined.
"Zero, not now." Xavier spoke sternly and moved forward, not looking back.
Zero frowned, turning his back on his friend and sulking off hurt and dejected into the ruins.
"Send one of your men to keep an eye on him.." Rock whispered to Forte who nodded, issuing a silent command to the younger of the two Enforcers to follow Zero.
Xavier took a deep breath. He really hadn't wanted to blow off Zero like that but what else could he do? Rock wasn't about to allow him to run off and play, he knew it by the look in his eyes. He was to take them to see Lord Sigma as part of his punishment., no way could he go off and play in the middle of it. The Enforcer would keep an eye on Zero, at least he wouldn't get in anymore trouble. After Xavier had done his part, he could go hang with Zero and see all the little spots he had found to hang out in.
It came as no surprise that the residents of Arasa seemed to be awaiting Xavier's arrival at the tower. Some of them had gathered near the entrance to greet him with waves and smiles like he was some returning hero. The reception came as a surprise to Rock and Zor who both looked over the crowd with interest, marveling at the appearance of the Repliroids.
"I've never seen a creature like that……" Zor whispered softly to his father. "It's almost like their creator fused the attributes of animals with those of humans almost seamlessly. Incredible….I can hardly wait to study them."
Rock nodded in agreement, having never encountered anything like them in his battles with Wily. Clearly they weren't the creations of him or any other doctor Rock knew of.
Vava lead them through the doors and into the grand and well-decorated hallway, drawing gasps of amazement as the ancient tapestries came into view. Sigma was waiting for them as expected, sitting upon his grand throne and looking out at the approaching party with great interest, his pet sniffing the air with a soft growl.
"Greetings Xavier." He spoke calmly as they stopped to stand before him. "I'm pleased to see you returned and with friends no less."
"As I promised I would." Xavier replied with a nod of respect to the ancient Lord. "This is my stepfather, RockMan. He came with me to meet you and your people and to see your city."
"I see, how wonderful." Sigma said as his eyes roamed over the small blue armored robot. "Greetings..RockMan."
Rock bowed slightly out of respect, his eyes never leaving Sigma's form.
"Greetings Lord Sigma." He said.
"And who else has come with you, Xavier?" Sigma inquired curiously.
"I'm Zor, m'lord." Zor spoke softly as he stepped forward. "I'm the head technician of our city, Hakari. I came to study your people and your city."
"Excellent, excellent." Sigma said, his lips curling into a smile. "And who are the dark armored ones behind you?"
Forte snorted at the comment as if he was insulted to find one who did not know his name.
"I'm Forte, that's one of my men and this is my wolf, Gospel." He snapped and reached to his side to pet Gospel.
Sigma's dog suddenly got to its feet, its ears perking up as it locked its gaze on Gospel, baring its teeth angrily at the sight of the wolf with a hostile growl. Sigma reached over to stroke it's metal skin soothingly.
"Now, now my pet. They are our guests, no need to be so unfriendly." He spoke to the animal who grunted lightly and resumed it's sitting position by his throne at the words.
Rush whimpered at the display and hid himself behind Rock with his tail down, not trusting either Gospel or the strange dog to stay calm and behave themselves.
"Well, let me be the first to welcome all of you to Arasa – City of the Ancients." Sigma said, resuming his greeting to the group. "I've prepared a guided tour for all of you to enjoy after which, I would like to speak with you over a meal so that we might learn about each other. I'm most pleased to have this opportunity and I'd like to thank each of you for coming. Now, if all of you are ready, Storm Eagleed will take you around the city while I prepare things here."
The Eagle headed Repliroid emerged from behind the throne, bowing politely to his guests.
"Wait! We want to speak with you now!" Rock objected.
Sigma cocked an eyebrow, not expecting any rejection of his plan.
"You aren't interested in a tour?" He asked in a curious tone.
"Well yes but-"
"No buts." Sigma interrupted. "Now is the best time to see the city. The sun is in just the right place, if you were to wait, you would miss much. Eagleed, please escort them around the city now."
"Yes Lord Sigma." Eagleed replied with a nod.
Then, as if to enforce the fact that he wasn't ready to talk, Sigma rose from his throne and walked off down the hallway behind it to attend to other things.
"Wait! Lord Sigma..!" Rock called.
"He will speak with you later." Eagleed spoke, stepping forward to join the group.
"No, I want to speak with him now." Rock said, shaking his head and moving towards the hall until Zor took his arm, stopping him.
"Please dad, we're in his city, let's do this his way. There's no rush to talk to him." Zor whispered. "Let's just go look around."
Rock sighed and nodded silently in agreement. Zor was right, no need to rush into getting answers when he seemed so friendly. He wasn't an enemy after all.
"Alright, Eagleed." He said. "Take us on this tour."
"With pleasure." Eagleed replied and lead them back outside.
Once they were outside, Xavier let out a sigh of relief. Everything was going fine so far. Lord Sigma seemed more than glad to have guests and he was sure after today he'd be off the hook for the whole incident. As Eagleed began speaking about the city and reciting a bit of it's history, Xavier caught sight of Zero leaning against a nearby tower and sulking. The group was distracted for the most part at the moment, Rock wouldn't notice if he slipped away for a moment to check on his friend. His departure from the others went completely unnoticed.
"Hey…" Xavier spoke softly as he approached.
Zero turned away from him, staring in the other direction.
"Hey Zero."
Zero bit his lip with an angry frown, continuing to refuse to face Xavier and ignoring him.
"C'mon Zero, I'm sorry." Xavier apologized. "I really don't have much time to talk here, I wanna catch the tour."
At that Zero turned to look him straight in the eyes with a gaze that could kill.
"What's that for? Not like I messed up your hair or anything though I'm tempted to with the way you're looking at me. We are still in mucho trouble here, no need to be mad at each other, okay?"
Zero still glared at him, not saying a word.
"Aw c'mon Zero! Don't be like this please?" Xavier pleaded.
"Xavier!! We're leaving, are you coming on the tour or not?" Rock called out.
Xavier groaned frustratedly, they had found he wasn't there too soon. He was out of time.
"I'll be there in a minute!" He called to Rock then turned to Zero once more. "Zero look, I'll be back soon. Lord Sigma is going to serve a meal, we can talk then. I promise."
He looked Zero deeply in the eyes, knowing the young robot was hurt and wanted his company. For a moment, he debated about whether he should go on the tour or stay but he knew what Rock expected of him.
"I've gotta go. Stay out of trouble, okay?" He spoke and started towards the group, hoping Zero would forgive him.
Zero walked back into the tower with his head held low. How could Xavier do that? The tour sucked! Why did he want to go anyhow? He could have told Xavier all about the city, he took the boring tour yesterday. He could have made it exciting and spiffy but, oh well, looks like Xavier wanted plain and dull.
"Did your friend abandon you?" Sigma asked.
Zero hadn't even noticed him standing quietly in the corner and jumped at the sound of the Repliroid Lord's voice.
"Ahh! Don't scare me like that!!" He yelped.
"You didn't answer my question." Sigma spoke.
"Well..um..yeah…" Zero mumbled, looking to the floor. "He went on the tour."
"Hmmn..I see…and this upsets you?" Sigma inquired.
"Yeah!" Zero replied, glancing back up. "I wanted to hang with him for a while!"
"Well, since he won't be back for a while perhaps you can……'hang' with me and we can talk." Sigma suggested.
"'Bout what? I think I told you everything last night." Zero said.
"I want to ask you something, Zero." Sigma spoke in a very serious tone.
"Hmmn? Well what is it?" Zero asked, cocking his head curiously.
Sigma paused, moving to stand before Zero and look down upon him thoughtfully. Zero blinked and gazed up to him questioningly.
"Zero…would you like to stay here in my city?" Sigma asked in a soft voice.
"Stay? Here? Really?" Zero replied with wide eyes.
"Yes, come with me and we'll talk while over looking the city." Sigma said with a slight smile, turning towards the hallway.
Zero followed eagerly, excited by the idea of staying in Arasa and the chance to look at the city from the huge window once more. Sigma knew Zero enjoyed the view, it was the perfect place to take him. Immediately upon arriving, Zero was drawn back to the large picture window, standing before it and admiring the sight of the city below while Sigma stood behind him, watching his reactions with great interest.
"So Zero…as I was saying before, we'd be more than glad to invite you to stay with us. We've been waiting for you for so long and it would be a shame if, after waiting for you all this time, you decided to leave us." Sigma began.
"You make me sound like some Chosen One..I'm just Zero." The young robot replied. "I feel like I'm in a video-game."
As Zero gazed out over Arasa, he saw Xavier and the others in the distance and sighed softly, resting his hand on the glass.
"But you are a Chosen One, Zero. You're very special, if only you knew who you really are." Sigma spoke.
"Who I really am?" Zero asked and turned slowly.
"Haven't you noticed you're different? You aren't like them. You don't even look like them. Xavier has an excuse, he's part human, but you are supposedly full robot. Why then are you taller, more slender, more..armored?"
Zero looked down at his body. Those were things he had always wondered about himself. Why was he so different? Why had he been born with a "Z" mark on his shoulder? Why did he have blonde hair when both of his parents were brunettes? Why was he…… Zor had called him a mutation, which really explained nothing. Why was he a mutation? What kind of mutation was he? What caused it?
"Yes, even now you're wondering about it, aren't you? Do you ever wonder about the birthmark on your shoulder? Don't you think it's odd you were born with the letter 'Z' on your shoulder? It's even there when you're in your flesh body, isn't it?" Sigma inquired.
"Yes..but how did you know??" Zero said, surprised.
"I've told you several times.." Sigma answered with a grin. "I know things about you that you don't even know yet. Don't you believe me. Zero?"
"I..I guess I do." Zero spoke. "But if you know everything about me, why don't you just tell me who you think I am?"
"All in good time but for now, look at yourself. Can you really say you're one of them? Look at your armor, think of how different it is from both of your parents, from any others you've known. Now look at me. Perhaps your body is closer to mine, perhaps Zero, you're a Repliroid just like I am." Sigma finished in a knowing voice.
"That's impossible!!!!" Zero exclaimed, his mouth agape in shock. "Both of my parents were robots!! I couldn't be!"
"Yes but you were not born to be one of them. You were meant to find this city and live with us. You were given this form, a form close to ours, so that you could be a part of this city. So that you could belong here. Haven't you already felt a sense of belonging?" Sigma inquired.
Zero nodded slowly.
"But that doesn't mean-"
"It's your destiny, Zero. You were meant to stay here." Sigma spoke.
"But my mom, my home-" Zero objected.
"Is it really your home Zero?" Sigma interrupted. "You told me yourself that you're an outcast there, a throw away. Your father beats you and your mother approves of it. You begged me not to make you return with Xavier. Do you really want to return now? Here you're an equal, you're one of us. We need you to rebuild our city. We want you to stay."
Zero was silent as he thought for a moment. Strangely, what Sigma said was making sense to him. He hated life in Hakari City, he hated being an outcast. Here they adored him, they needed him, they wanted him. He was some sort of hero to them. But what about Xavier? Zero looked back out the window. Xavier was obviously interested in other things..Kiara…Zero had dreaded the day when Xavier would prefer a girl over his best friend. He had nightmares about Xavier drifting away from him, having a girlfriend, taking vows, moving away, having kids, having a life with out him to share it with. Xavier was the only person Zero had ever felt close to. He didn't think he could take watching him grow distant and moving on with his life.
Maybe this had come at this time to take him from Xavier before that happened. He himself had never felt any calling to find a girl and start dating despite his mother's and Xavier's pushing. His heart and mind were elsewhere. Maybe this was his calling, his destiny. It did seem strange and a little creepy that Sigma knew all these personal things about him. This city held something in it, he had had Déjà vu more times than he could count – the bar, the glass, the view of the city. Something was calling him, it was trying to tell him something. He had to find out what it was…
But..what would his mother say if he never came home? He loved her but she forced him to see Blues and just didn't understand he was slime. Maybe she could come with him and they could start a new life in a place where neither of them were outcasts. He liked that idea. In Arasa, he'd have a purpose, people liked him. Maybe he really was some destined child, who knows.
"Well….okay, I'll stay. I really like it here and if I can help you, that would be cool." Zero answered with a smile.
Sigma's features brightened with an odd sort of delight.
"Excellent. You've made a very wise choice." He spoke.
Suddenly over the city a loud siren wailed, drawing the attention of everyone below. Eagleed turned his gaze towards the tower as it sounded, distracted from the speech he was giving.
"At last….thank you m'lord." He whispered graciously with smile and took to the air on his wings with out a word of explanation to Xavier and the others.
"Eagleed, wait! Where are you going!" Xavier called after him but got no answer.
The eagle Repliroid glided back towards the tower, joined by other winged Repliroids with the same destination.
"What in the..?" Rock questioned. "Xavier, what's going on?"
"I don't know but I bet Lord Sigma would have the answer, stay here, I'll go ask." Xavier suggested and started off before anyone could object.
It seemed everyone was moving towards the tower, Xavier could clearly see a large group far ahead of him going in that direction. Was it some sort of emergency meeting? Why hadn't Eagleed told them about it? The air seemed suddenly heavy with energen as he got closer, Xavier could feel it near his body charging his surroundings with power. Such a strong surge wasn't normal, surely Zor must be going nuts with the scanner right now. Maybe all the Repliroids were rushing to take cover from something to come, the only thing Xavier knew of that drew this much energen was…a Gate. He blinked his eyes a few times, remembering the "dragon" and the strange appearance of the city to begin with. Was it possible that both had been the victims of a random Warp Point? Then terror struck him… Zero….Zero was still somewhere in the city. He doubled his efforts to reach the tower, praying that Zero was there, praying that Rock and the others had figured the same thing he had and had gotten to safety. A random Gate could be a very deadly thing, such Gates had transported entire areas into oblivion before.
The atmosphere crackled around him and as he drew closer to Sigma's lair, the buildings began to shimmer with a funny light, almost seeming to become transparent. Xavier gasped in horror. He was caught in the middle of it and so were the Repliroids. He had to warn them. The doors of the tower were unlocked and he raced inside at top speed, not even stopping to catch his breath as he came into the throne room, finding all the Repliroids there with Lord Sigma. Zero was by his side.
"Si…sigma!" He gasped, panting hard. "…what's go..ing..on? It's..li..like a Gate…is c..coming! You have..to get out of…here!"
Sigma glared at Xavier coldly. All the kindness he had shown earlier was gone from his face.
"Xavier! Guess what? I'm staying here!" Zero beamed proudly.
"W-what!?!? A..GATE..is coming..you have to…GO!" Xavier cried, half panicked.
Sigma chuckled in amusement at Xavier's words, not seeming to take them with any seriousness.
"He's coming with us." He spoke. "Soon the Gate will consume us all and take us far away from here."
"Far away??" Zero questioned.
"Yes Zero…..far away, where you belong. SERGES! FULL POWER!" Sigma called out.
At that moment, the tower and everyone with in it began to shimmer with an eerie light as they steady grew transparent. Everyone that is except Xavier.
"NO!! That's not what you told me!" Zero cried, his eyes filling with fear.
"Zero….!!! What's happening to you! Sigma, what are you doing??" Xavier shouted but his words fell on deaf ears.
Sigma grinned as he turned to Zero, placing his hand on the youngster's shoulder.
"You made your choice Zero. You belong with us, not with them." He said sternly.
Zero shook his head, his body beginning to tremble as all around him began to fade in and out of view.
"But I never wanted to leave everyone behind! You promised Xavier could visit! You never said…..I don't want to disappear!!!!" Zero cried. "I don't want to go!"
"It's too late, you're mine now Zero." Sigma replied with a wicked grin, his features twisted and malicious.
Zero screamed and turned to Xavier pleadingly, reaching for his friend though Sigma's hold on his shoulder was keeping him from moving.
"You see, it's simple X." Sigma spoke calmly, turning to face the now horrified Xavier. "We're going away and Zero is coming with us. We've been waiting for this moment for five hundred years. At last..the world will be ours again!"
"No, you can't take Zero, stop this!" Xavier spouted, calling forth his canon and aiming it directly at the fading Repliroid lord.
"You couldn't hurt us if you wanted to you fool." Sigma replied calmly and took his hand off Zero.
"Zero! Run! We'll escape it! Gates only have a limited range!" Xavier cried to Zero.
It was all he could think to do.
Zero took off like a dart, dashing away from the Repliroids and from Lord Sigma who made no move to stop him.
"Run all you want, the course has been set, it is but a race of futility." Sigma taunted as Xavier ran off to join his friend.
Outside, the ground rumbled beneath their feet. The Gate was almost upon them.
"ZERO! RUN FASTER!" Xavier called ahead.
The city was barely visible now, everything seemed translucent. Illusions of an ancient ruin standing amongst a forest. Zero wasn't doing much better, his form flickered between solid and transparent rapidly though he sped at top speed towards the edge of the city.
I'm not going to make it…….. Zero thought to himself. It's too far….
In desperation, he pushed his thrusters harder causing one to flare suddenly and push him off balance, the hot blaze burning into the bottom of his foot painfully. He stumbled to the ground, landing hard on his side with a groan of pain and a loud crack. It was over..he knew it. The dull ache in his foot didn't matter to him, all he could do was tremble at the thought that he was trapped, that he was going where ever the city was. He no longer had any choice.
"Zero!!" Xavier cried as he caught up to his friend, reaching down to try to help Zero back to his feet. "You've got to get up and get out of here! You're almost gone!"
He gasped as his hand went right through Zero's arm like he wasn't even there.
"Zero….!!"
Zero looked up to Xavier, biting his lip to keep from crying as he reached into the pouch he kept hidden at his side and pulled out his reed flute. Something deep inside of him told him he was never going to see Xavier again. He wanted to give him something to remember him by. Why had he chosen to go off with some strange lord and stay in some strange city anyhow? He was such an idiot.
"Xavier…!!"
Zero reached out for Xavier's hand, pushing the flute into his friends grasp. The moment it touched Xavier's skin, it became solid again and Xavier gripped it tightly, looking at Zero with confusion at the gesture.
Time was running out……….
"Goodbye…." Zero whispered softly, it was the hardest thing he had ever had to say to anyone.
In the next instant, he was gone along with the ruins around him. Xavier could only stare forward in disbelief. The flute held in his hand, the only remaining proof of Zero's existence.
"Zero? Zero??? ZERO?!!?" Xavier cried out, the realization suddenly striking him. "NOOOOOOOO!!! BRING HIM BACK!! COME BACK!!!"
But his cries went unanswered for all that was left were the trees where the ruined city of Arasa had once stood.
