Chapter 1: A New Being Is Born
It all starts in the year 2906, it technology of the future is still the same but a little more advanced than today's technology. "Man another boring day again, nothing new ever happens" I thought while lying on my back looking up at the clouds floating by. I decided to get up and walk back to town since I was only a couple of miles away from it since I wanted to be alone, after about an hour passed by I noticed that something was following me this time it was a different feeling, I could tell the eye of the stalker was piercing into my body and looking into my soul trying to read my next move, I made sure not to make any sudden movements.
I heard another rustle in the bushes next to me. I started to continue walking trying to look as calm as possible, then something ran through my head "Hmm must have been the wind, oh well I guess I'll jog home then" I said out loud pretending that everything was alright, I started to run at a slow pace and started to pick it up. I've been around here so many times and I watched the news before I came here just to see how the weather will be today but they didn't say anything about any animals or killers… why do the bad things always happen to me.
All of a sudden the ground started to rumble violently throwing me off balance making me fall face first on the ground, there it was towering over me a giant construction reploid. "Man you scared me there for a second heh heh…" the reploid stopped a couple of feet in front of me just watching me, "um… what's the matter, and why are you following me?" the reploid jerked its metal arms upward into the air, the only thing that was running through my mind as its monstrous arms were coming down to me was is today the day I'm going to die?
The only thing I could do was close my eyes and wish for the best. Then I had a feeling that I was falling, as I opened my eyes back up I realized I was falling into a hidden facility that was underground. After I fell onto some of the old bedding that was down there I was happy I didn't die right there, as I looked up from where I fell I noticed it was a good 40 ft drop. Something in my stomach just kicked up and I threw up on the ground, after I was done I wiped my mouth off and started to look around the room "man this is to much excitement for me…" as I managed to get the door to open I walked into a narrow hallway a long one at that.
At the end of the hallway there was only one door a big one at that, CRASH as soon as I heard the noise come from behind me I turned around and seen the giant reploid through the opened door way. I took a couple steps back and fell backwards over a fallen piece of roof, as I was falling back the reploid shoot the wrecking ball at me. The ball made a dent in the big solid door making a small opening that I could fit in. as the reploid was retracting the ball and chain I got up and ran towards the door.
The reploid yanked on the chain making the ball head towards my legs, I couldn't jump in time and I was tripped. As I was sliding on the floor I stopped to see that I reploid's plan backfired and it got hit by its own weapon. I let out a soft snicker and started to crawl as the reploid was dazed by its own attack, I managed to get into the room to see and older version of a reploid floating in a tank. I walked over towards the tank completely forgetting what I was running from.
The tank was dusty on the outside so I took my sleeve and wiped off some of the dust to see parts of a reploid in there, there was a helmet with fake golden yellow hair attached to it in a pony-tail, there was also a arm holding what seemed to be a beam saber and in the middle of the tank was a blue triangular crystal, as the pounding started up I jumped and went behind the tank. I sat down and I put my hands on my head and started to cry a little.
"Please I don't want to die yet, I don't want to lose all of my friends and everything else…" as I was going into a breakdown the crystal in the tank started to glow. It got my attention and I stopped crying and I heard a voice come from nowhere "do you wish to live?" said the mysterious voice, I jumped up and started to yell "Yes I do, I will do what ever it takes please help me!" I said trying to get its attention. Then I noticed the voice wasn't coming from anyone at all it was the crystal talking to me in my mind.
"Very well, but we shall become one, and I'll tell you what's happening after this ok" the blue crystal said to me, I nodded in agreement only to see the arm with the sword starting to move. The tank started to crack making little streams of water come out of it. As soon as the door finally collapsed the room was filled with light, a new being was born. After the light dimmed down there was nothing in the tank.
I looked in the puddle of water on the floor to see my reflection. As I looked at the new me I was stunned from the way I looked, I was wearing the old helmet from inside the tank but it looked brand new just freshly made from the meta-facility just like the new reploid suit I was wearing also but the only thing that wasn't changed was the beam saber. It had some stains on it but I managed to wipe part of it off to see one letter on it. Z…
As I snapped out of the trance I was in from the new look I got, the reploid was already attacking me. As the giant ball was flying towards me I tried to jump to the left but I didn't expect to have so much power in these short jumps. There was one thing that ran through my mind, so this is how a reploid sees, feels, and reacts to things then after that thought ran through my head the voice came back to me.
"Ok I only have a short amount of time before I go into a slumber again… but I will help you out here and I will explain things better to you, so im going to take control here." As it was done talking to me everything went blank and I was standing in a giant waste land of old and destroyed reploids, all I seen was a figure sitting on a mountain of dead reploids. It seemed that the figure was holding some sort of scythe. The figure seen me and jumped down towards me getting ready to cleave me in half.
I woke up screaming to realize that I was standing on the remains of the construction reploid. "Man my pay check won't be able to pay for this…" I said to myself. "Ah looks like you are awake; I guess its time for me to explain everything…" said the voice again."Wait before you start telling me about what's going on, I want to know your name first" then out of nowhere a hologram of a red reploid appeared out of no where making me jump back a couple of feet into a wall.
"My name is Zero… I was a reploid from the past 100 years ago, Ceil tried to recover my body after my last fight with Ragnarok and Dr. Wile but she failed and she was heart broken not to see me again, this facility has been abandoned for 60 years and everyone forgot about it, except for ceil she would visit me everyday and try a new way to revive me, but…. All the attempts fail and eventually cost her… life, she sacrificed herself to revive me and she succeeded on doing it, but the reploid that is on the surface that is known as your zero is a fake who is hiding two of the most dangerous minds of destruction in him so I need your help. Well actually I need your body as a host for me to share my power with you so we can stop him." After Zero was done talking I looked back at the hologram "let me have a few moments alone to think on it ok…" I said to Zero who nodded as I started to walk out of the room.
I went back into the room I fell into thinking to myself after I sat down on the pile of old clothes, "This is just to much for just one person to handle but is he the real Zero or is he a fake…." I looked into the hallway seeing the hologram of Zero hovering there waiting for me patiently. I decided to head back into the same room "So what is your choice?" Zero said. "Something deep inside of me says to trust you and something else in me shares your same emotions to stop them… so I'll help but I got one question Zero."
Zero looked at me with a puzzled look on his holographic face, "And the question is?" Zero asked "… will I stay in this suit all the time…" I said to Zero. Zero gave me a smirk and started to laugh to himself, I was a little confused but serious at the same time, "No you can change into that form anytime you want to, but there is one condition, You cannot hurt no humans in that form…, Because reploids were built to protect not to hurt the innocent you got that." After Zero was done talking I nodded in agreement to his condition.
After I managed to get out of the underground facility I started to walk home again and this time I didn't run into any rampaging reploids. "Zero why did that reploid attack me" I asked, "Well because it went maverick, but if you don't understand what that means, I'll explain it to you, if you want me to" I decided to wait till tomorrow for the explanation because I was to freaking tired from all the excitement today.
As I got into the outskirts of town I had seen my friends looking for me. "There he is, Kit over here!" Haru called out to me and the others. “What are you all doing out here??†I asked, “Easy, because its dark out and you were nowhere to be found.†Luna quickly answered. “Zero should I tell them†I thought in my mind towards him, “Now is not the time to tell anyone, because it would Confuse them to much… now let me rest…†I let out a sigh of discomfort.
“I must of fell asleep this time, and it was dark and it took me longer than I thought to get back here well since it was so dark out†I said to them trying to be as innocent looking as I could. “Well ok I’ll buy it this time Kit…†Luna said to me with an annoyed sound in her voice. After the awkward conversation I started off home.
“Home is still the same, Lonely….†I said out loud hearing my own echo from the emptiness of my own apartment. “So what’s on the agenda for tomorrow kit?†Zero asked me. “School and that’s it unless you want to do something…†I replied back to him as I was closing the door to my home.
