Megaman Zero: Return of the Legend: Chap 9, A rival's challenge. and Two vs Many. (Part 1)

(Sorry for the long Update, still had school, and was trying to extend my chapters, i thought they were long since WordPad wasn't on full screen, lol. ^^" anyways, I apologize to the "Lemon Lovers" out there, I'm trying to get this FanFic look nice but can't due to pressure, anyways, thanks for the review, "Guest"... The main idea in this story was that due to Zero losing his memories, he doesn't really remember anything, which, in my opinion, caused his negative attitude, during the time Ragnarok was descending, he had his thoughts about his past, since he gets his memories back hinted by the "Never Cared" meaning he got his memories back, or most atleast. I'll be posting the "Thoughts of Zero while descending on Ragnarok. back to Lemon, anyways, next lemon will be better, I promise, back to the story.)

Entry # 3: A quick thought..(Incomplete)

So, lately I've been wondering, even though Zero has been acting sweet to me lately, He still seems to avoid the others...I wonder, if there's anything bothering him."

Ciel, in the middle of typing this, was interrupted by a knock, saving her document and adding the Incomplete tag. Opening the door, finds Alouette, entering the room.

Alouette, looking at Ciel with her bright blue eyes. "Sis? I've noticed there was something bothering you, may I ask what it is? or is it a bit too much for you to tell me?"

Ciel, looking back at her, replied "Nothing is bothering me Alo, what gives you that idea?"

"Well, I've noticed you've been on the computer lately, typing some things while looking sad, and lately been researching about elves."

"...how did you...know that?" Ciel asked surprised.

"Well, Menart has been trespassing in your room lately. especially the "Reserved Room"."

"...I'm guessing you hacked the password, huh?" Ciel asked rather embarassed.

"? That room had a password?" Alouette was looking surprised".

"Wait, you mean you could just open it WITHOUT a pass?"

A nod came from Alo.

"-_- I seriously need to double check."

While Ciel has been sleeping, Zero entered Cerveau's lab.

"Hmmm? Oh, Zero, What brings you here?"

"...Nothing...soo...been making any weapons lately?"

"Oh, well, haven't made any, but I'm currently making one."

"Any fancy names?" Zero mentioned, Cerveau didn't noticed the smirk.

"Well...no...but the type of weapon it is, is an arm cannon."

Zero quickly replied, "A buster in short."

"Excuse me?" Cerveau asked surprised.

"I've recalled my memories during the crash, I turned off my communicator on purpose since I didn't want to hear Ciel's sorrow." Zero replied, adding "thus I remember the type of weapon I had, I'll try to change my arm to an Buster."

"Well, you'd lose a hand then."

"No, you see, my creator, whoever he was. seemed to have installed a buster, your "Arm cannon" that was able to revert back from a buster to the normal hand."

"Interesting...so how exactly did you do it?" Cerveau asked, getting attached to this info.

"Well...that's the thing, I'm not sure about it..." Zero mentioned, rather embarassed.

"Well, I really need to get this working, I'm also trying to give X a better Buster...After building him a body which he was able to get back in." Cerveau mentioned, while working on his buster.

"That's not surprising, I think I do remember his buster mechanics." Zero replied back.

"It's be a great help if you could help me build this." Cerveau requested.

"Well...If I do recall correctly, X's buster had the ability to charge, causing plasma shots, which was also empowered by solar energy itself." Zero told trying to help.

"Wow, even I'm getting confused by this." Cerveau, as he said, was confused.

The Operators, calling the attention of everyone, told through the speakers,:

"Attention, If we may have it, a message is coming from Area Zero, please come to the CMD room, ASAP."

"Sounds like your queue Zero, don't worry, I'll find a way to get this buster similar to X's...(Hopefully.)" Cerveau mentioned.

"All right." Zero said leaving the room.

Back at the CMD room, Axl was there, talking to the operators.

"So, just a question, why exactly you guys don't like getting called by your names?" Axl asked them.

"Well...It's sorta hard to explain." Ro, I mean the Brunette operator replied back.

"Don't worry, I won't be bothering you about it. *not like that Palette*."

"Who?"

"No one."

"Operator, we're here." X called the attention of the Trio.

"So, what's the message?" X asked them.

Statics were heard, meaning they were trying to get the settlement's signal.

"Greetings, I supposed you all remember me before...sorry for blasting Neo Arcadia."

Zero: "Right right, so what is it, Craft?" Zero replied back, seemingly not caring.

"Well, good to meet you, X, I believe your friend here, has confessed about his feelings to Dr. Ciel." Craft said, reffering to "A blond cyberelf".

"Oh great, now even the settlement knows?" Zero replies irratated.

"Haha, don't get hot headed now, only Neige and I know, don't worry, your secret is safe.."

"Yeah, I'm not hot headed with you...I'm feeling a bit angry at some "Blond Cyberelf."

Elpizo: "Oh come on, seriously? why is everybody blaming me?"

"Oh gee I don't know, probably since you're the only one who FRIGGIN GOSSIPED?" Zero, sarcasticaly, replied."

"And they call blonds stupid..._." Elpizo replied back.

"Ahem, perhaps you forgot we're blonds, too?" Zero asked, seriously ready to use his Z-Knuckle to land a quick tug on his hair.

"Oh, right..."

"Ahem, I wouldn't mind interrupting. "Craft interrupted. "But, we detected a Maverick army approaching us?"

"Well, just how many are they."

"Probably around 500 , and 600 Axeroids, 400 Pantheon Aces, and lastly 400 Golems, let's not forget about 130 Lamplorts, shouldn't be much of a challenge right?"

"Really. Only that many? not really a challenge." Zero replied back.

"Figured, all right. see you soon." Craft ended his message.

X: "Zero, don't you find it strange, about 2030 Mavericks?"

"Yeah...It doesn't seem right..."

Zero, X, Axl, and Elpizo was nearly about to leave when they had a message.

"Wait, another message...No...no, this can't be real..."

"Hahahaha! Miss me, you three? I'm back! and this time, I'm not holding back! X, I Challenge you, go to the Forest of Dysis, there, we fight!" A Maverick voice came...

"You! Vile! I thought I retired you years ago!" X, staring at the old purple reploid, Vile, a Maverick who caused trouble to X and Zero many times in the past, always trying to defeat X, failing.

"You remember X? A Century ago, when that girly looking reploid Lumine, was trying to establish a "So Called New World?"

"Yeah, so what is it to you Vile?" Zero replied back.

"I missed you so much Zero, acting so cocky, trying to use that as a shell to forget about Iris!"

"Shut it, Vile!" Zero, threatening Vile.

"HAHAHA! And who's that lady over there?" Pointing to Ciel. "She must be a reminder of Iris, huh!?"

"Grr! Vile! If you plan about taking her life! You'd have to go through me!"

"Hah! Over your Dead, Cold Steel rusty body? I'd like that! now get here X by Sunset, If you don't, you can say goodbye to that base of yours! Hahaha!" The Transmission ended.

"Damn! If he even lays a finger on Ciel, He's DEAD!" Zero, who's eyes were filled with Rage.

Ciel: "Zero...Nothing bad is going to happen to me, as long as I have you..."

"Grrr...*Sigh* I suppose...Let's go! We need to help the settlement."

X: "Zero, I'll go to Vile." X mentioned back.

"Fine, good luck, he shouldn't be much of a challenge, wouldn't he?"

"Yeah, good luck to you all!" X, before teleporting to Forest of Dysis.

"Now...Teleport me to the army, along with Axl, Ciel, you get the resistance ready."

"All right!"

Zero, along with Axl, saw the army from a distance.

"Ready for this?" Zero, with his Z-saber drawn...

"Heh, I was waiting for this moment," Axl, with his Axl bullets ready.

There, from the distance...the Army wasn't gonna stop...It wouldn't be an easy fight...or it would be to Zero.

Hope you enjoyed!
