Chapter 1: The Hero of Legend
Peace. A great promise…Maybe too great. Some promises in this world cannot
be kept. Maybe this is one of them. So why were we created? That dream of peace,
were the chances better when we were created? Or did we make things worse?
Whatever the matter, I only believe in one thing. Peace between the Reploids and
humans…it's a dream I must make into reality…
"Neo Arcadia… Believed to be a utopia. Far from it… In fact, its just a silly
dream." A man stood by the window. He had a cold stare in his eyes, as he watched the
city from outside. Dressed in green armor, you couldn't help but think he was different.
"That's enough Harpuia…" The man being addressed stood up. He was in dark
armor, but like Harpuia, his aura was different from the rest of the crowd.
"…Even you should know why Master X built Neo Arcadia by now…" he said.
"Phantom… Just because you agree with Master X doesn't mean that I do as
well…" Harpuia backlashed coldly. "Humans and Reploids living in peace…what
blasphemy!"
"Yet it is your job to protect that vision…Ironic isn't it?" Phantom smiled. He
stood and walked to the door.
"Where do you think you're going?" Harpuia asked.
"…I'm joining Master X at the Research Facility… Apparently, someone found
out how a cure…" Phantom left the room. Harpuia only rambled on.
"That piece of trash that they recovered from the ruins? Ha! Just what are they
thinking, reviving something like that…"
Inside the Research Facility, a group of scientists were talking with Phantom.
"…How goes the experiment?" Phantom asked.
"We are at best 90% complete." The scientists shuffled nervously.
"…Is something the matter?" Phantom asked.
Someone's voice rose up. "Just what kind of experiment are we doing???"
The owner of the voice was a middle aged man. "Just what is Master X thinking,
reviving the body of former Reploid, when the world is in the middle of a turmoil??"
Phantom only replied calmly," Master X knows what he is doing… He believes
that this can help bring peace into the world… So, until then, keep working on this…"
Phantom then disappeared… The scientists dispersed and went back. Only the
lone man stood there.
"Vile…." A woman stood behind him. "Vile… why do you question X so
much? All he is trying to do is make the world a better place."
"Ah…Miss Ciel… I don't believe that doing this is making the world any more
peaceful… The world needs someone with an iron fist to hold its reins."
With that, Vile went away. Miss Ciel was only left. But as she stood, she looked
at the body of the experimentation. It was a man…or what appeared to be one. Dressed
in red armor, it lay in stasis.
"So…it truly is the hero of legend….Zero…"
Ultima: Wow…that was very little for a 1st chapter. But I am still formulating for ideas on this story, so I'm sorry…but that's it for now.
Honou: Sheesh…that's all? Now, I'm starting to doubt your writing abilities.
Ultima: *Ignoring Honou's comment* He was just kidding folks. So please review, and look for the next chapter, Revival.
