Mega Man Zero Omega
Chapter 10
Neo Arcadia's Proposal
Zero walked into the command center and heard the two operators talking worriedly.
"Someone has broken into our communication systems! It's Neo Arcadia!" The blond operator was saying worriedly.
"Put them through." Zero ordered.
"Can you h-h-hear me? Members or the Resistance. And…Dr.C-Ciel." Copy X said as he appeared on the screen.
"Copy X!" Ciel said in some surprise.
Copy X shook his head lightly.
"We have custody of the D-Dark Elf. Let us put a-a stop to this foolish conflict. We ask that you surrender t-to us."
She frowned at his request.
"Surrender?"
Dr. Wiel appeared on the screen and spoke.
"Hand over the new energy you invented, the Ciel system. If you do this I guarantee the safety of you mavericks."
Ciel growled quietly.
"He's got to be…"
"As a result of our analysis of the Ciel System information you so kindly sent us… We have determined that by combining it with the dark elf, it may be possible to generate enormous amounts of energy. This would solve the energy crisis in one fell swoop. There would no longer be a reason for us to fight." Wiel said.
Copy X reappeared on the monitor and smiled encouragingly at her.
"Ceil…A singly answer from you will bring peace to our world." He said gently.
Ciel bowed her head for a long moment.
"…I can't…trust…you."
"What's th-that?"
"You were prepared to sacrifice humans to obtain the Dark Elf! I cannot trust you after seeing that. You cannot have the Ciel System. It was built so that humans and Reploids could live in peace!"
Copy X smiled sadly.
"I did not want to make any human suffer or die. There was little I could do. Both of us know how dangerous the Dark Elf would be if left unchecked. Besides that now that we have control over the Dark Elf it is of little danger."
Zero scoffed.
"Are you truly as naive as that? The Dark Elf is too powerful to control. Even my friend- the original X had trouble sealing her."
"You s-still think I-I am a m-m-mere c-copy?" Copy X asked.
Zero nodded slightly.
"The true X would have never, and I mean never have sacrificed those lives to gain control over the Dark Elf."
"T-that i-is n-not pertinent to t-this Z-Zero. Now I will ask again, will you yield Doctor? If you do peace could be obtained."
"I-I…"Ciel began.
"Ciel, whatever decision you make listen to your heart." Zero told her.
She nodded and her eyes became determined.
"I'm sorry, but I will not yield to you. You're just a puppet to Wiel! Not just that you killed almost a million lives when you allowed Omega to recapture the Dark Elf!"
Copy X's eyes widened in horror for a long moment as he realized that he had sentenced almost a million people to their deaths. A second later he recovered and he spoke.
"Is that…y-your answer? Fine. You have a-a monopoly on energy resources…And Zero, a Reploid with terrifying f-fighting skills… Y-you are nothing more than filthy extremists! Ciel… I was holding-ng back until now, because you were there, a human…Now, you can face the consequences, along with your Maverick friends!"
"The transmission was cut off." The Blond operator reported.
"The Neo Arcadian army is moving! They have launched a total offensive!" The brunette operator said as she pulled up a report.
"Zero…I…" Ciel began.
"You need to stay strong Ciel. Your people need you. But, you did believe in yourself and fought accordingly. What comes next is our job" Zero said simply.
"Zero…"
"Displaying Neo Arcadian Troop movements on monitor." The brown haired operator said.
Three icons appeared upon the screen. Zero looked at the closest icon.
"Pull up the one in the Desert." Zero ordered.
The Operator nodded and a picture of the area appeared.
"We aren't sure who is leading them Zero, but whoever he is be careful. We need you to engage the Neo Arcadian army in the Twilight Desert." The Blond operator said.
"I will go there immediately."
"Wait up!" A voice called.
Zero turned and saw a white armored warrior stride up to him.
"I'll take the foes in the Forest of Antre." Omega-1 told him.
Zero nodded.
"That's fine." Zero agreed.
As they prepared to transfer to their respective locations Zero saw the girl that had come with Omega.
"I want to help too." She said quietly as she looked at the monitor.
"I'll take down their frontline ice base if you want." She offered.
Zero looked at her piercingly before he nodded in agreement.
"Prepare triple location transfer. Begin in forty five seconds." The brown haired operator said.
"You and I will have a long discussion after this." Omega promised Zero.
"That doesn't surprise me in the slightest." Zero replied as the operator announced the transfer.
Zero was unsure which would be the harder battle, the one against Omega-1 or the boss in the vast desert he was now staring across.

"Commencing Mission." Omega-1 said as he flipped over a tree.
The demise of the commanders was nigh. Then, He would destroy the imitation of X, followed closely by Omega and Wiel. After that, perhaps, after all that he might be able to rest. Omega shook his head and cleared that foolish idea out of his mind.
"Abominations don't get rest." He muttered quietly as he slashed a guard in half.

"This is Alpha, I'm beginning the mission." She said as she dashed across the frozen surface.
After Wiel paid for his sins she would go ahead and become what she once was…Human. But, at the same time she felt confused. Why did Omega have to suffer so? He had paid for every one of his 'sins' a thousand times over and yet he still felt like he was a monster. If she stayed like this would she become like that? Or would she be able to handle it? She was scared. Omega had mentioned that the technology had integrated itself into him and it was the only way he could live now. What if she waited too long and the technology had integrated itself into her too? Would she die if they tried to remove the technology from her as well? She shuddered and it was not from the cold. She then ducked under a barrage of shots from a Pantheon soldier.
