Mega Man Zero Elpizo

Chapter 4

The Ghost Returns

"X!" A Reploid shouted at the warrior wandering through the northern mines of Giga City.

X turned instantly and readied himself for the worst.

"Hey X, Don't worry." A blue glow emanated around the Rebellion Army security guard and a high pitched noise accompanied the light.

"It's only me." The now transformed Axl grinned.

X gave the younger Reploid a faint grin.

"Axl, its been a long time."

"Yeah it has." Axl agreed.

"What brings you here?" X asked.

"I heard that my copy chip might have been developed here. I was thinking that I maybe able to gather info on it so Palette and I can do research on it. But, X… You look exhausted!" Axl said suddenly.

X smiled sadly.

"I am weary. After all, I have been fighting for three centuries now, and I have only had fifty of those years spent in peace. But, it seems that even now I cannot rest."

"Since you are so tired out I'll give you a hand. Let's finish this and then you can rest. After all, one person can't do it all." Axl suddenly smiled. "I have some good news for the weary legend: Zero has awoken."

"So, Zero is among us once more." X sighed slightly.

Axl nodded.
"After we finish up the Giga City problem Zero and I can take care of the Earth then, you and Alia can take a nice long break."

"I would appreciate it Axl." X said gratefully.

"Not that this isn't interesting but X, we should move on." Spider said to him.

X nodded and his eyes regained their determined gleam.

"Alright, lets move."

"Harpuia." Phantom nodded to the general.

"Welcome back." Leviathan said as they sat down in the Guardian Conference room.

The conference room had red carpeting and a large round table. Whenever Harpuia entered he was reminded of The Legendary King Arthur's Round Table. On the opposite end of the Room from the Door was a large screen. This was a prototype device that had been dubbed 'Holo-Screen'. It was designed to project three dimensional figures onto the table's center. It could be used for communicating, preparing battle plans, and much more.

"Heh, well, what did you find Phantom?" Fefnir asked.

"X is indeed in Giga City. I also learned that he is far more powerful than the copy that controlled Neo Arcadia. In fact, he has been facing foes installed with 'supra-force metal'. This is an extremely powerful version of force metal. A mere fragment Supra force metal can easily enhance a Reploid's power tens of thousands of times."

The three generals who hadn't seen X were shocked.

"Why did he vanish?" Harpuia asked after a few moments.

Phantom sighed, stood and walked to the Holo-Screen wall.

"Remember the Mother Elf?" Phantom asked.

Harpuia nodded, he was confused why Phantom was bringing it up.

"Well, the mother elf was 'cursed' and twisted into the Dark Elf. X immediately began to pursue it. However, the Dark Elf is extremely powerful and even X wasn't able to destroy her. Instead, he sealed it. He didn't reveal the seal's location, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it is under this very city." Phantom answered.

"That would explain why it is nearly impossible to get to." Leviathan muttered.

Harpuia thought for a moment.

"Generals, I think that we need to confirm if it is down there. If it is we need to increase the protection of the seal. I propose that we find the seal, declare the surrounding area as Maximum Security, and build 'temples' above it, further increasing the difficulty in reaching the area. Also, we should set up an advanced anti-trans field in the temples. Only one access point will be placed in the entire set of temples."

Leviathan, Fefnir, and Phantom nodded seriously.

"It maybe expensive but, four 'temples' are a whole lot cheaper than Neo Arcadia itself." Phantom agreed.

"Let's get to business." Harpuia tapped the button under the table next to his chair and a set of computers popped out of the table.

One Month Later…

Strangely enough, both the Resistance and Neo Arcadia are not making moves against each other. I suspect that Neo Arcadia's Generals are currently too busy with the secret temples. As for the Resistance, I am unsure why they are not taking action. Perhaps they are rearming or gathering resources. I have no clue…

"Zero, want a sparring partner?" Vile asked.

"Sure."
"I'll win this time Zero." Vile promised.

Zero smiled slightly.

"That's what you said last time we sparred."

"Hey, I saw Iris coming and I decided to be nice for a change and not humiliate you in front of her."

"Whatever you say Vile." Zero said patronizingly.

"That's it; you're going to eat those words." Vile promised.

"You can banter?" Iris asked in awe as she opened the door.

"Great, now here comes a crowd…" Vile sighed.
