Mega Man Zero Elpizo

Chapter 5

Supra Force Metal Stolen

Alia swiveled her chair around to face the door instead of her desk and then stood.
They had just finished the Rebellion once and for all. They (X and herself) would leave Giga City soon. She walked to the door. When she reached to press the button to open the door it suddenly opened and a blood red armored Reploid stood before her. The Reploid's crimson eyes glowed dangerously.
Alia stepped back and the Reploid continued to come closer.

"What do you want?" Alia demanded.

The silent being didn't reply but instead drew two swords.

Alia continued to back up until she hit the desk. She felt underneath the desk and pressed the emergency button. Sirens began to wail.

Instantly she saw the glowing energy under her chin.

"You did a foolish move Alia." Her captor growled.

A second later X burst into the room.

"Alia!" He shouted when he saw her.

"X, if you want Alia to live; hand over all of the Supra force metal you have."

"X don't let him get the metal!"

"I can't attack, I might hit you." X replied.

"What will it be X? Alia's life or the Supra Force Metal?"

"Alright I'll give you the Supra Force metal." X's head lowered slightly.

X took a few steps forward and laid the supra force metal on the ground. X then stepped back.

"Now release Alia."

The Blood Red Armored Reploid's motions became blurred and a moment later both the supra force metal and the foe were gone but Alia remained.

"Alia, are you alright?" X asked in concern as he ran to her side.

"Yes, I'm alright but the Supra Force Metal-"

X interrupted her.

"-You are far more important to me than the Supra Force Metal." X held her tenderly.

"You could have killed her!" The old Scientist roared.

Alpha interrupted his tirade.

"I obtained Supra Force Metal, and a lot of it. I need some time to integrate in into myself. Plus, X was there. If I had killed her then X would have obliterated me. I will need Supra Force Metal if I am to defeat him and Omega."

"I see, so you are letting them live for a little while, before you destroy them both?"
"Exactly. But I will require you to do another thing if I destroy X…"

Nana was attempting to find the monster that had threatened Alia. Alia and Nana had become friends in the time they had been there.

"Have you found him yet?" Spider asked.

Nana shook her head.

"Not yet Spider."

"I can't believe someone was so stupid to threaten Alia." Massimo rumbled.

Cinnamon sighed.

"Some people are just so evil." She said sadly.

Marino nodded.

"A thief should never threaten someone with violence." Marino said disapprovingly.

"A sense of honor?" Spider asked her curiously.

Marino nodded.

"A good thief has a thief's code. For example, I never threaten someone with violence during one of the escapades of mine."

"Are you going to be thieving after we are done here?" Cinnamon asked.

"I dunno, I don't think I could perform my old job as well as I used to after this. What about you Spider?"
Spider looked thoughtful.

"I don't know either. I think that after going on a crusade like this I will have trouble returning to getting paid for dishonorable reasons." Spider admitted.

"You've changed." Marino noted.

Spider nodded.

"We all have; for the better I would hope." Spider replied.

"Heh, I guess X has had an influence here too." Axl noted as he entered the room.

"I don't mean to be rude but this is hard enough as it is without having everyone gather here to talk." Nana ground out.

A collective 'sorry' was heard as the group left.

"Take this!" Vile shouted and fired his shoulder mounted cannon at Zero.

Zero dodged the attack and swung his chain rod at Vile's leg. The chain wrapped around his leg and Zero yanked the chain. Vile tumbled to the ground.

"Match over, Zero wins." The computer announced.

"Okay, so you beat me, I will get you next time." Vile muttered.

Zero smiled faintly.

"Whatever you say."

Iris hugged Zero as he entered the room.

"Hey, Iris." He held her as well.

"Zero, Elpizo has requested that you and Vile come to the command center. I'll come along if that's okay."

"It's fine with me." Zero smiled at her.

He released her and they left to find out what Elpizo wanted.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Zero, Vile, I was wondering if you two would be willing to help 'Operation Righteous Strike'.

"Operation Righteous Strike?" Vile asked.

"It is a plan to deliver a decisive blow against Neo Arcadia."
"Neo Arcadia isn't a sitting duck." Zero warned.

"Indeed, we should continue our guerrilla tactics and build up our forces."

"I don't plan to quit our guerrilla tactics. I am just going to add another type of attack, after all the time is ripe. Without X, and with the Guardians busy with their 'temples' we can deliver a blow that they will never forget."

"Or we might lose a large portion of our forces." Iris added.

"I'm sorry, but the operation will take place, are you willing to give us a hand as we prepare; Zero and Vile?"

"Is there going to be lots of fighting before the mission?" Vile asked.
"Yes there is." Elpizo nodded.
"Then count me in." Vile volunteered.

"Excellent, and what about you Zero?"

"..."

"Zero?" Elpizo looked at him.

"I'll think about it, I don't like preparing for operations that will cost soldiers lives, especially when it is most likely that those lives will be in vain."

"I will not rush you Zero but, please make you decision quickly."

"I'll try." Zero nodded curtly.

"So I will be battling alone for now eh? That's good, all the more enemies for me to destroy." Vile sounded happy.

"There!" Nana shouted in joy.

She had finally traced the location of the transport of the enemy whom had stolen the Supra Force Metal.

She activated the intercom.

"Attention, the thief of the Supra Force Meta has been located, I repeat the thief has been located. Prepare for combat."

Almost instantly, X was in the room, next to the transport device.

A few minutes later the team warped away.
