Mega Man Zero Omega
Chapter 5
From the Shadows
"Alright!" Axl cheered as they warped to their location.
"Silence." Phantom growled.
"Aww!" Axl whined good naturedly before falling silent.
"Do you have any stealth capabilities?" Phantom demanded.
Axl smirked before walking over to him, touching his arm and suddenly morphing into Phantom.
"Does that answer your question?" Axl asked cheerfully in Phantom's voice.
"Indeed it does. Now let us use stealth as our weapon." Phantom vanished a second later.
Axl sighed and then faded from sight as well.
They finally found their target after slipping past all of the defenders.
"I thought I sensed an enemy…" Devilbat Schilt murmured as he neared the duo.
Phantom gave Axl a nod and the two of them tossed throwing stars at the Reploid. The two stars struck Devilbat Schilt and made him fall out of the air.
Phantom appeared and spoke.
"It's over for you Devilbat Schilt"
"Traitor!" Devilbat Schilt roared.
"Too bad but things aren't looking good for you." Axl said as he appeared on the opposite side of Devilbat.
Devilbat's eyes widened when he saw Axl.
"There are two of you!" Devilbat said in surprise.
Phantom stared at Devilbat Schilt coolly.
"Let's finish this shall we?"

Zero's glowing presence brought both fear and hope to the Resistance. His power was unbelievable.
Colbor stared at his friend in awe. The power of the glowing Zero was more than a myth, it was reality. But, even the myths, and legends had nothing on the true reality of Zero's power. Every day it seemed that's Zero's strength increased tenfold. When Colbor was younger and still serving the Neo Arcadian Army he remembered times that he would listen to old soldiers and Pantheons talking about the legend known as Zero.
Colbor thought back to those days.
"Well, Master X's closest friend was a Reploid named Zero. Yeah, I mean the Zero. Zero was a crimson Reploid that wielded a Saber class weapon."
"Aren't those hard to use?" A recruit asked the grizzled old Sergeant.
The Sergeant nodded and spoke.
"Yeah, only a few Reploids could wield one of those things and not cut off his own head let alone defeat foes with it. It also forces the Reploid to close in on the target. This is a really bad thing in an era where guns can blow things to kingdom come and back again. Anyways, Zero was known to be the only one who could compete with Master X. Legend says that they are immortal. X, the 'Guardian' and Zero, the 'God of Destruction'. Strange that they became friends isn't it? But anyways, according to legend Zero could face entire armies without being scratched."
"Do you believe it?" Colbor asked hesitantly.
"Hmm…Honestly I think the legends are a little overstated but, I do think he could take on overwhelming odds. That is if he ever existed."
"Do you think he doesn't exist?" Colbor asked.
"I dunno. X exists so maybe Zero does too. But I don't count on it. After all if Zero existed then why isn't he still around? I can't think of anyone who could defeat him. Crying out loud! According to legend he defeated Sigma countless times while he was still infected by the virus!"
"Hmmm….I get a feeling that Zero is still around…Waiting…" A young girl in pink said.
"Who are you?" Colbor asked politely.
"I'm Dr. Ciel." Ciel said.
It felt like a million years ago since those days. Zero was found by Ciel and the dying Resistance was reborn with Zero as its champion. The Resistance grew and built its own fortress that helped strengthen their forces considerably.

Alpha walked towards the Resistance base slowly. Behind her a couple of steps Omega watched diligently.
"Halt!" A voice shouted.
Alpha stopped and Omega strode up to stand at her left shoulder.
"What do you want?" Alpha called.
A green uniformed Reploid stood with an assault rifle pointing at them. The reploid neared them and spoke in a normal tone of voice.
"You are drawing near Resistance territory, what is your business here?" The Reploid asked.
"I wanted to talk to your commander. I need to ask the commander a serious question."
"Are you part of Neo Arcadia?"
Omega's eyes flashed angrily.
"Part of Neo Arcadia? You presume far too much." Omega said quietly.
Everyone sensed his anger. Alpha shuddered slightly at the infinite rage within the white being.
"Me apart of such an oppressive society with a mere copy of a Legend at its helm? I would never, ever, think about helping such a system!" Omega growled angrily.
"I'm sorry but we can't be too careful."
"Then let me talk to Zero." Omega answered.
"I will see if someone can bring him here." The green uniformed reploid replied.

"This is Phantom mission accomplished. Devilbat is no more as is the factory." Phantom said as they left the exploding factory.
"Man! That was too easy!" Axl complained.
"If it was too easy why don't you attack the copy of Master X in Neo Arcadia?" Phantom demanded icily.
"Ermm…Never mind!" Axl replied.

"Vile, we need you to investigate an unusual signal. It seems that the Dark Elf is on the ruins of the oceanic highway. Just watch out for their protector; Childre Inarabitta. He will defend the ruins and aid the Dark Elf if it is there. As you are aware, Wiel can't have the Dark Elf injured." Ciel said.
"That's all? I'll be finished in no time! Hey scientist!"
"The name is Cerveau." Cerveau growled as he neared Vile.
"Can I have that laser I got to test a while back?" Vile asked.
"Do you ever stop asking me that question? Yess, take it! Just stop asking me!" Cerveau gave into the stubborn Maverick.
"Alright then." Vile walked over to the weapons research facility picked up the aforementioned weapon and then transferred.
"Now that he's gone I can find Zero and give him the weapon we've been working on." Cerveau said in relief.
"What weapon are you talking about?" Ciel asked.
"Something that Zero should like quite a bit."
WELL, I'M FEELING ILL SO UPDATES ARE GOING TO BE SLOW UNTIL I RECOVER...I FELT THAT I SHOULD AT LEAST GET ONE STORY UPDATED THOUGH...
