I will be honest with you guys, this episode is mostly Zero x Linette and big filler awaits you and the dialouge between Omega and Weil is predictable, but if you will read and support this chapter too... Thank you guys ;3

"So, this is the base of the resistance." Said Aztec, watching around him.

"Yeah, one year after I beat you and your boss, Ciel changed place."

"I know that." Replid the flying reploid, annoyed by Zero's arrogance. 'Heck, I and Master Harpuia took Zero here and he dares to talk to me like that?'

"Just to let you know, Falcon, I don't completely trust you yet. If I'll find out that you are planning something against us, I will retire you personally."

"Tsk, unlike you mavericks, me and Master Harpuia have an honor. Anyway, I shouldn't fight Blizzack, my element is the lightning and his ice moves would destroy me."

"Blizzack? You mean that all guardians pupils are now with Weil and Omega?" Asked Zero

"Exactly, that old man is building his own empire by using Master X. Master Harpuia told me that."

Ciel interrupted them. "Well, I would suggest to all of you to rest for a bit, Anubis gived big troubles today. Aztec, I'll guide you around the base."

The falcon was annoyed but he followed the girl. "Well, I am going outside." Said Iris, leaving the commander room. That was strange but Zero didn't care, and went in the room 0A2, knoking at the door.

"Who's there?" Asked a girly voice.

"It's me, Zero." The door opened and Linette hugged Zero, taking him to her room. "So, what happened today?" She asked sitting in her bed.

"A lot of thing." Replied the legend. "I teached Iris how to use E-Tanks, we fought Anubis Necromancess V and Harpuia sent Aztec Falcon to help us."

"Atzec Falcon is our ally now? And are you sure we can trust him?"

"Harpuia won't betray us, at least not until Weil is defeated, along with Omega. Besides, if Aztec will attack us, I and Iris will destroy him."

Linette chuckled. "You are always so mean, Zero."

"Probably I am."

...

"Ehy... Zero..."

"What is it, Linette?" Zero asked, seeing that her expression changed. "Will we ever be able to live in peace? Without fighting?" She said

"I don't know." He replied coldly. "That's something Ciel or Iris would say... You are just like them."

"I-I am not like them at all!" She shouted angrly.

"You are very susceptible about them, aren't you?" Said Zero with a smirk on his face.

"Shut up, legendary junk." She said, then she noticed something. "Did you just change your expression? Wow, maybe tomorrow you will laugh." And herself couldn't help but laugh a bit.

"What's so funny about it?" Zero seemed annoyed a bit.

"Because." She stopped laughing. "You always have a serious face... Like now." The girl pointed at his face.

"And that's annoys you or something?"

"More than be annoyed... I'd like to see you smiling sometimes... But you know, that wouldn't be you." She chuckled again. "By the way, why did you came here?"

"I just wanted to see if you are ok." He said and he saw Linette turning away. "Ehy, did I say something bad?"

"N-No, not at all, I am just... Embarrassed, that's all. It's rare to see this side of you."

"Do you dislike this side of me?" Zero asked.

"No, actually I find it very... Uhm... Enjoyable. As I said, you are usually cool and you look emotionless." She looked at him, who was silent. "What's the matter, Zero?"

"Linette, you're right, I don't show any emotion and I know that is annoying for everyone around me. But it's because of my amnesia, everyone knows me and I don't know anyone... The original X, the Dark Elf, The Baby Elfes, Omega and now this Iris who seems to know everything about me, I can't help but think about it."

"I know, I wasn't criticizing you." She replied with a smile on her face. "And I am not annoyed by you." Zero blinked at those words. "Really?"

"Yeah." She went towards the crimson warrior. "How could I? You are my hero." Linette finished with a smile.

The master swordsman moved his green eyes away, feeling an unusual sensation on his face, then he heard a giggle. "You are cute when blushing." Zero looked at Linette and their lips met each other.

"Dar-rn-rn it!" Said Copy-X hitting a wall with his fist. "We were so close to d-d-destroy Zero and his blasted girlfriend! Weil's plan was perfect, Anubis had the ed-edge! And what happens? Happens that Harpu-pu-puia sent his minion to ruin everyth-th-thing!"

"M-Master X..." Replied a huge reploid. "Is really Harpuia betraying us?"

"No Blizzack Staggrof-f-f, he sent Aztec Falcon to kill Zero when suddenly th-th-that Iris used her charm to stop him!"

"... Are you sure about that?"

The blue ruler didn't say a word for ten seconds, then he sighed. "Get out of h-h-here, both of you."

"Me? I don't said anything wro-"

"OUT. OF. HERE. N-N-NOW!"

Blizzack and a fire monkey left the room, terrifed by their Master who now was absolutely livid. Not only Harpuia was giving him an hard time, but two of his major solider was a complete idiot. But Copy-X wasn't the only frustrated there: now that Iris became a real fighter, Weil was more determinated than ever to know about her.

"Omega, now listen to me. I want you to tell me everything you know about this new enemy! I won't leave you until I will be satisfed, understand?"

"Grrr... Enemy...?" From the giant, golden armor, a shadow went near to the scientist and stared him with its red eyes. "Iris is not an enemy... In fact, she can be even more useful than those two elf brats and the weak copy. Expecially now that her Zero lost every memory, the girl's feelings will brought her by our side."

"You mean that... The reploid Zero and this Iris had some relactionship before?" At those words, the mysterious reploid smirked. "I think I got this one. You see, before the Elf Wars, there was a militia force called Repliforce. The group decided to betray the humans and the two strongest Maverick Hunters stopped it, fighting the Colonel, the General and the sister of the Colonel. Can you guess who fought the last one?"

"... The Red Maverick Hunter, Zero..." Said Weil.

"Exactly" Replied the shadow. "The Hunter and the girl, Iris, were really close each other, but the Maverick King Sigma made them fight. She was killed after her brother faced the same fate."

"I see, that's why you hesitated in killing her... Again, am I right?"

The mysterious entity chuckled, and walked towards the Omega Armor. "Leave it to me, and you'll witness something far beyond your imagination." And the shadow went in the armor.
