Mega Man Zero Omega
Chapter 2
Neo Arcadia
Master X has returned, alive and well. Dr. Wiel, the new second in command apparently resurrected our beloved Master X. However, the four Guardians of Neo Arcadia do not seem to believe that Master X is who he says he is. In an irrational and foolish move the four former Generals of Neo Arcadia have turned against Neo Arcadia and have begun to support the Resistance. However, I hesitantly note that Master X has brought a grave danger; Omega. I trust Master X; however, I cannot and will not trust Omega. It also sounds as if Master X is searching for the 'Dark Elf'. If he is this could be another grave mistake. I would assume he is only going after the Dark Elf because of Dr. Wiel; the creator of Omega.
Truly these are chaotic and disturbing times. I only hope that Master X will be able to guide us out of these difficult problems. Master X is humanity's last hope…

"Master X! Master X!" The crowd cheered as he neared the palace.
The blue reploid waved fondly to his subjects.
As he did the crowd's enthusiasm increased a hundredfold. Once he reached the Palace steps he exited the float and stepped onto the podium.
"My beloved Neo Arcadians, it has been far too long since we last saw one another. Yes, I was defeated, but I was never wanted to leave you. Even in death my spirit was with you. Now I have returned and I am here to stay. Let us rally together once again and finish this terrible war that has been plaguing us for so long. I want a peaceful future but to do that we will have to work together. What banner does Neo Arcadia cling to now?" Copy X M-KII asked.
"Yours Master X!" The crowd shouted.
"Then onward! We will have peace still! Neo Arcadia will be a utopia at long last!" Copy X spoke dramatically.
The crowd roared its agreement.

Zero walked over to Fefnir and looked at the injured Reploid. Fragments of metal had been knocked off of him when he had been hit by the large fist. Fefnir's helmet crystal was shattered and scattered on the floor.
Fefnir smiled weakly at his new ally.
"Hey Zero…" Fefnir gasped.
"Take it easy Fefnir. I'll transport us both to base."
He nodded and winced instantly.
"Zero, Leviathan isn't in good shape either she's taken critical damage." Harpuia reported.
"You can transport her back to base Harpuia."
Harpuia nodded and gently lifted the blue Reploid. Zero saw fragments of metal crumble off of her damaged form. He winced when he thought about the pain she must have been suffering.
The four warped out of the former prison of Omega.
As soon as they arrived Zero ordered for the maintenance team to work on the downed elemental Reploids. The two injured reploids were taken to the Maintenance center where they would undergo extensive repairs.
As soon as the door shut to the repair room Harpuia sighed and placed his head into his hands.
"I can't believe I was so foolish as to have sent them ahead…" Harpuia whispered.
"You didn't know Omega's strength Harpuia. You aren't going to make the same mistake again are you?" Zero replied.
Harpuia sighed and slowly shook his head.
"Then you learned from a mistake, excellent. I can't say whether or not if they will forgive you but, I certainly think that they will."
Harpuia nodded. He suddenly yawned.
"Not getting a lot of sleep?" Zero asked.
Harpuia nodded again.
"I've had a lot of work to do." Harpuia replied simply.
"Follow me; I'll give you a room."
"Thanks." Harpuia whispered.
A few moments later Zero walked out of Harpuia's new room as the green reploid was flinging himself into the RB unit.

"So you've joined the Resistance huh?" Vile asked Phantom.
Phantom nodded at the purple reploid.
"Why?" Vile demanded.
"I don't think that is any of your concern." Phantom replied coolly.
Vile took a step towards the ninja.
"It is now." Vile said in a dangerous voice.
"I will not serve a copy." Phantom replied after deciding that he didn't want a confrontation with the infamous Maverick.
"Hmph. At least you are partially on the right track." Vile turned away from him.
"What do you mean?" Phantom demanded.
"There is only one person you should serve: Yourself." Vile answered.
"Then why are you helping the resistance?" Phantom asked.
"It isn't any of your business." Vile answered icily.
"I disagree Vile, there are things besides yourself worth fighting for." Phantom said simply.
"Like what?" Vile sounded amused.
"Love, friendship, freedom and many things as well." Phantom replied.
"Haha! Do you really believe that? Love? The individual you 'love' will die and leave you so no point loving, friendship? Same principal, and freedom, I fight for my own freedom when I fight for myself. So why should someone fight for someone else when they are only going to die eventually?" Vile asked.
"Do you really believe the ones we love leave us?" Ciel asked as she rounded the corner.
Vile visibly flinched. Phantom assumed he hadn't expected Ciel to overhear them.
"What do you want?" Vile asked.
"Don't change the subject. I loved my father and my mother. Even though they died they are still with me."
"Impossible." Vile scoffed.
"They are with me in my heart."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I keep them alive in my memories and in my heart Vile." She explained.
"Too bad but I don't see a reason to make it so someone lives on like that." Vile replied coolly as he walked away.
"What happed do you Vile?" Ciel whispered so quietly that Phantom barely heard the young scientist.
HMMM...NOT A FAST CHAPTER BUT IT WILL START TO SPEED UP ONCE AGAIN...
