Rockman Zero Remix 2

[Drayconis]

Chapter 1

A year had passed since Zero had been killed along with most of Neo Arcadia's forces. One would assume the resistance would have won. But life is NEVER that easy. Not a week after Lord Zero's death had a new faction risen to power. A Doctor Weil, it is still unknown how exactly he came to power, only that now he has it nothing short of mass violence will take it away from him. Humans cower in fear against his troopers, fearing his totalitarian rule. Reploids hide in the shadows or fight in the resistance or have their minds ripped away and become part of Weil's legions.


Drayconis sighed, looking at the peaceful ocean view atop the highest tower in the new resistance base. Their old one had become fairly well known and it was time to move. The new one was on a remote island in the south pacific. It had become a sanctuary for reploids. Whether they were tired of hiding from Weil, or waiting to fight and do their part for the resistance. All were welcome. He looked towards the beach and saw several small children reploids running about, he sighed somewhat contently, today was his week off from active duty. He'd just got back from a particularly brutal mission in the arctic. He sighed and ran his hands through his hair. He sighed again thinking 'I'm NEVER gonna get used to short hair again, it feels so wrong.' He turned when he heard someone coming up behind him.

He faced a tall blue clad reploid. It's brown hair showing where his helmet normally resided. Dray sighed, "Hey X. Whats up?"

X sat down beside him rubbing a grease stain off his armor. "Nothing much, just relaxing a bit. Needed some fresh air before I went down for a debriefing."

"You guys sure took your sweet time getting back. I thought for sure you'd make it back before me. But your three hours late I was worried man." Dray said. 2 teams had been sent out to Weil's new arctic laboratory, Team 1 had to infiltrate the main labs and see what Weil had been working on. X had lead that team. Dray led team 2 which was after hearing Team 1 reporting in were to sabotage the bases power plant.

X groaned, "We had gotten out of the building and reported to you guys. Just as about half the team 'ported out, Weil's new anti-teleport shields came up. We got surrounded by 20 of those damn troopers with heavy artillery back up. That explosion you rigged up distracted them nicely and we managed to force them to retreat, not without losses though... We lost Rock."

Dray swore, "Dammit, wasn't he your sixth member? He was a good guy... didn't he have a last name? Fleagun or something..."

X shook his head, "Fleegman... And yeah.. I lose my sixth crew member a lot... Anyways, it was a 3 hour hike out of the anti-teleport field."

"I told Ciel I should have rigged the bomb to completely gut the facility instead of just the reactors. Must have had back up shield to prevent a cascade failure. base still wont be very usable... hmm, the anti-teleport device must have its own power source."
X looked at him, "yeah thats what i figured. Now if you'll excuse me I need to shower off make out with Addy, then hit that briefing."

Dray laughed as X got up. "You do that man. Tell Addy i said hi if you manage to speak before going at it that is."

"Will do." laughed X as he walked over to the elevator and headed down.

Dray shook his head and smiled, that was the power of second chances right there. He looked again out to the ocean. Wondering how long this peaceful oasis would stay this way.


Ultros smiled behind his crimson visor. "...Ready...." He said slowly, guy thingying his buster and pointing it at the target.

Zera nodded for him to continue, motioning at the large slab of granite that was his target, "Fire when ready, we need to see if those adjustments wor-"

She was halted mid sentance when Ultros fired loose a massive charged blast, obliterating the rock wall.

"Jesus! Warn me before you shoot! Well, looks like the adjutments work... This old maverick base has proven suprisingly useful." she smiled. "Soon we can go out into the world. From teh transmissions I've picked up the humans have anew leader, not as strong as Father, but he used to be a reploid builder, he may be able to help us."

Ultros nodded his approval, "...Gooood..." He smiled grimly. Several rooms deeper into the base, the burned, wrecked body, of of what used to be the storngest reploid in history waited for a new life...

Weil paced (or rather hovered) accross Lord Zero's old throne room. He turned on one of Generals, "Foxtar, where on we on teh extermination project?"

Foxtar looked at him, "The resistance continues to elude us. They use some sort of stealth field to conceal their bases from us. We believe they have one in Old Russia, and somewhere in the southern pacific."

Weil fumed, "I want them exterminated! Soon! Get back to the field Foxtar!" As she bowed and left Wiel turned to the other General present, "Mantisk, how goes the Omega Ressurection plan?"

Mantisk smiled, "Ahead of schedule. A weeks time should be all we need now."

Weil smiled, "Finally good news... Get back to work!"

As he was once again left in silence he murmeered to himself, "Soon they shall know... Soon..."

Bob and Dray were walking aimlessly when Bob shuddered and let loose a whistle.

Dray looked at him, "Whadya mean you just got an ominous chill down your spine? You dont have a spine! Your a freakish little Imp-Hat thing! Stop talking nonsense we hafta get going! Whadya mean goiong where? We're obviously going... errr... oh shut it!" Dray stormed down the hall, Bob following at his heels.

[swimstud600]

Its good to see you back at work

[swimstud600]

Alright, I updated. Thats how things are gonna have to be, we push each other to get off our butts and write. Now you've gotta get chapter 2 done. Or you could update CoF I suppose.. but the fact that we have the same number of chapters done kinda warrents some competition. Lets go, get busy!

[Drayconis]

-Now chapter 1-

[Drayconis]

short chapter, but its up

[swimstud600]

Very short chapter

[Professor Fann]

Hmm... you seem to have updated the fanfic thread here, mister Dray from EraS. And I see that you have mister Swim's support. I congratulate you.

This 2nd chapter is indeed short, but I decided to reconsider by reading it again.

Is it just me or is the plot moving quite fast? Slow down a little, I feel the flow of the tale really rushie though. Take your time.

[Drayconis]

well its no longer teh technical second chapter, its merged with teh first, heres teh new second chapter....

Chapter 2

Voren stood in the training room his ruby red beam saber held in front of him. "Engage training program Vor-1" e said to the computer. The world around him shimmered away into an merald green foest, awt the soft sounds of a waterfall in teh background. His eyes sanp open as a group of robotic wolves jump snarling out of the bush. A small curls on his lips as he jumps up, meeting them in the air, saber flashing.

--

Harpuia sighed and ran a hand through his short green hair, the current divisional commander, Elpizo, had no trust toward the ex-generals. The only saving grace was that teh spec-ops command squad had taken him in (them being in order of rank: Ciel, Raykan, Dray and X share teh same rank, Voren and now Harpuia and Levithan) The spec-ops were pretty much the military leaders of the base, but this new Elpizo had risen up in manging the bases directly, and there were rumours he was trying to spread seeds of distrust about the Command crew (our heros in this sorrid, yet oddly funny, tale). Of course that would be bad for teh former Arcadian general. But right now, his biggest problem.. Was Voren.

--

Raykan was walking around simply enjoying this brief moment of peace in his long life. He knew it wouldn't last. Soon something bad would happen and this beutiful island would turn into a living hell. Such was teh view of teh ever pessimist. He looked as he saw Dray arguing with Bob and smiled. It was funny to see the once grumpy and bad tempered reploid turn into smiles as Ciel showed up. This was the Dray he'd originally become friends with and was glad to have him back. Raykan laughed as he decided to go to the beach and get some alone time. He looked up into the sky as the day slowly burned way leaving behind one of the most beutiful sunsets foundi n the world. He had never felt love, he could but he hadn't. Nobody had interested him and he saw as those around him fell in love, and what happened to them when that loved one died. Especially his friend Sim. Sim and Ray had been best friends for a long long time. Ray had saw how Sim's spirit had been shattered when his wife died. And now a year later after losing Sim, he vowed never to get to close to anyone. Except of course for those he already had.

--

Voren strewtched as he walked out of the training room. He looked up as he saw Leviathan pass by. "Hey Levvy c'mere." he said motioning her over.

She perks up a bit and walks over. "Hey Vor, whatcha doing?"

"Oh not much just finished some training. Was thinking of heading back to my room..." he says winking at her. She blushes and starts to follow him when they're intercepted by a green haired blur.

"Oh HELL no." harpuia says, standing between Voren and Levvy.

"Why you gotta be like this dude?" Vor said putting his hands out in an exaggerated shrug.

"Cause I hate your slimy filthy guts and if you come NEAR my sister..." Harpuia says growling.

Voren jumps and back flips over the pissed off reploid and lands behind Levvy and wraps his arms around her. "oh you mean like this?" Harpuia's face burns hot with a near pure hatred while Levvy blushes even further. "Or maybe this," he syas turning her face and kissing her lightly on teh cheek. " i really can't keep my hands of my sweet little Ice princess."

Levvy smiles, "Well its nice to see I went from being the Ice Hearted Bitch to an Ice Princess."

Harpuia fumes, "She is NOT yours adn she is GOING to stay the hell away from you!" He grabs Levvy's arm and turns around dragging her along, levvy looks back and castes a flirtacious glance at Vor who smiles back.

As harpuia leaves hearing range Vor smiles and leans ona wall. "Oh me and Bob, we're gonna have fun tonight with you broccoli head."

--

Dray and Bob were (still) walking when they bumped into a smiling Voren. Smiling Voren=bad.

"Hey Dray, Bob." the blue clad reploid said.

"Vor, whats up?" Dray replied.

"Oh nothing... Hey can I borrow Bob for a few hours?" This worried Dray. Voren and bob alone rarely ha good results.

"Does it have anything to do with me or Ciel?"

"Nope."

"Feel free then." Dray said, at that Bob beeped happily and walked over to Voren.

Now relieved of his small black burden Dray heads out, vaguely wondering why he feels he's been relegated to the ranks of a secondary character.

Behind him Voren and bob can be heard cackling as tehy discuss their plan.

--

Later that night...

Harpuia walks Levvy to her room, then walks accross the hall to his. "Hmph, stupid Voren... Ah well, tommorrow should be better, me Dray an X all have teh day off. Should be ni-" Before he manges to turn the lgihts on, he trips over a tripwire and falls face first into a vat of creamed broccoli. He stands up and stumbles over to the lights, but upon touching the switch gets hit by an electric volt and steps back hitting another tripwire, this one causing him to drop backwards into a vat of cheese sauce. As he sits up a flash of a camera goes off, instantly sending the picture through teh bases network with teh tagline "Borccoli head with cheese."

"Vooorreeeeenn!!!" Harpuia scream out in rage. Down the hall laughter can be heard from teh blue reploid and Bob.

--

Far away at teh abandoned maverick base, a small messenger reploid arrives.

Zera meets it at teh entrance to the underground lair. "Wadya want." She says non-chalantly.

The reploid looks at her, then projects a hologram of Weil. "hmm, I assume you are teh so called child of Zero, Zera yes?"

She stares through the hologram with her piercing eyes. "What of it human."

"i have a propisition for you."

"Speak"

"I have something you want, and you have something i want."

"..."

"Not much for talk eh? So be it. I have in my possession teh original body of X."

"What? What about-"

"that thing that has been parading around with the so called resistance is nothing more then a mere copy. But the body in my possession is damaged, This is wehre you come in, I can build you a brand new nearly identical body of Zero for you, much like the current X."

"And in return?"

"After I transfer his mind out, I have use for teh original body... To use it to complete my final and greatest work..."

"Oh? And what would that be?"

"That my dear is a suprise... What do you say? Trade one burned out worthless to you body, and give new life to your father?"

"I will consult my brother, we shall respond in a few days time."

"Until then my dear." The hologram smiles and winks out.

Zera tunrs back into the base, "Ultros! We have matters to discuss!"

--

Back at Weils base...

"That went well I should say." He turns to an old support capsule, and ancient blue body residing in it.

"Soon, I shall combine the most powerful creations of the 2 greatest minds this planet has ever known to form once again my ultimate creation... omgea... that hulk they're building in the labs is only a harbor for its mind... Soon his true form shall be complete, and I will stand tall as the greatest mind this worl has ever known... Mwuahahaha!" His laughter echoed through the empty corridors...

[swimstud600]

So Weil's got X's origanal body, interesting switch but it works for the remix. And he wants Zero's origanal body for Omega too but he'll give Zera and Ultros a copy body of Zero with Zero's real mind, have I got that right? And then Elpizo is still around, wonder what he'll do.
Interesting update, think I know Voren a little better now. Still a bit unsure how he'll be in the X era. Kind of an asshole I suppose.
Anyhow, its good to see an update. It'd be nice to see a little bit of violence next time though, now that most everything is laid out.

Chapter 3

The next day, Harpuia waits outside Dray's room, waiting for him to finish washing his hair. “Hurry up man! Why do you even need to wash your hair? I thought you didn't have to.”

“Hey, it's the principal of the thing. Besides old habits die hard. You know how painful it is to get blood out of your hair?” Replied the currently blue-and-brown haired reploid.

“...” Harpuia paused. “Please tell me you don't have blood in your hair right now.”

“What? Oh. No I don't. I'm just saying, Back in the day I wasn't exactly known for... Clean kills.” Dray says stepping out of the room.

Harpuia looks at Dray, “True. Mind you I think that's why most wore a helmet.” He says blatently.

Dray eyed harpuia's mid-length green hair. Longing for his old hair back. He shakes his head, “Well, I had fairly long hair... That and helmets are'nt my style. Anyways, if we talk more about hair we'll turn into chick-bots... What's the plan for the day?”

“I was thinking a friendly saber competition between you me and X, then maybe..” He pauses and drops his voice, “You and X could help find me a date...”

Dray laughed out loud. A little to loud for the oddly shy Harpuia. “Sounds like fun. Lets go grab X.” He grabs his friend and they head off down the halls.

A couple minutes later they knock on the door to X's room, having it answered by a sleepy looking red haired girl. “yeah?” She says drousily.

Harpuia blushes and steps off to the side. Dray just sighs, “Hey Addy, we're here to pick up X.”

She nods almost wearily grabs a sleeping X drags him out of bed (He's no longer asleep) and rolls him out the door. “here ya go.” She says closing the door and promptly returning to bed.

X looks at harpuia and Dray. “I hate you both you realize this right?”

Dray laughs as him and Harpuia pick the shorter reploid up. “At least your dressed. Lets go hit our weapons locker... harpy here has a fun idea.”

X just sighs and follows as harpuia starts to explain and apologize at the same time.

Half an hour later the trio walks into a reserved section of the base's gym. Dray looks at his two friends, “All right, how we gonna do this? Battle Royale style or individual matches.”

X and Harpuia looks at each other, then at the same time. “Battle Royale.”

Dray laughs as they all draw their blades. He pauses, ya know guys are we really dressed for this?” He says. Harpuia in a loose white and green t-shirt and jeans. X was dressed in a white t-shirt with a black flak vest over top, in jean shorts. Dray himself wore a black skin tight T-shirt with his personal insignia on it (A white dragon skull in front af an electric blue lightning bolt) and cut off military-style cargo pants, black.

“Meh, who cares.” X says to the 2. Harpuia shrugs in agreement.

Dray nods, “All right, I just figured it needed to be said... Oh and your going doing!” He says leaping into the air igniting his emerald green double-bladed sword.

Harpuia laughs, igniting his own twin ruby red sabers as he blocks Dray's downward blow. X not wanting to be left out of the fun charges the pair with his single Saphire colored saber, held two-handed style. Dray lifts the back end of his blade up to block X's rush, but still just about gets it knowcked back as harpuia hits the other end. Dray sighs and back flips, twirling his weapon around as harpuia and X start to duel.

Harpuia noticing a slight gap in X's defense swings downards with his right and, and as X comes to block it comes at him with a low horizontal slash with his left. X looks down and swears trying to back up. Suddenly all three of the weapons get shoved down by the front end of Dray's double blade. The former beserker smiles and ducks twirls his blade suddenly and taps the off guard harpuia in the side of the head. “One elimanated.” harpuia sighs and jumps out of the fight as Dray and X looks at each other. X in a defensive stance while Dray gleefully twirls his blade, leaving glowing green trails in the air around him.

X decides to make his move and suddenly springs forward and swings his sword up knocking up Drays blade. “Ha! Got you now!” He says stabbing forward at Dray's un guarded chest.”

Dray smiles, “Not so fast.” He swings the opposite end of his sword and taps X's chest.

The normally blue armored reploid swears in defeat. “Dammit! First round goes to Dray!”

Harpuia walks back into the fighting area, “Ready for round 2?” he says smiling.

2 hours later, the three sit exhausted and propped up against the wall. Final score: Dray 5 rounds, Harpuia 5 rounds, and X five rounds. (Or more to the point, they all claim to have the fifth victory. In reality it was a three-way tie.) Dray sighs contently, “Damn. That was fun. Specially how I kicked ass.”

harpuia and X both punch their friend (who is sitting between them) “You weren't the only one pal. Didn't you get eliminated almost immediately in the third round?” Harpuia says.

“Bah! You got lucky pal!”

“Luck my ass! Tell him X!”

“I dunno man, you were pretty lucky that round.” X says.

“You say that cause I kicked your ass then to!”

X and Dray look at each other. “Nope, 2 to 1 says you were lucky.”

The trio looked at each other. Then laughed at the same time. “All right!” Dray says pulling himself up. “Time for phase 2 of the day!”

X looks at him, “You guys didn't tell me that. What is it?”

“We find Harpy here a girl!” Dray says loudly throwing his arm out in declaration.

Harpuia moans in embarassment as everyone in the gym looks at him. “You do that on purpose don't you?”

Dray winks, “Probably.” X laughs as he to gets up. The trio store their gear and head out on their 'mission.'

--

Elsewhere in the base, plots were being schemed, and coffee was being brewed. Though not necessarily in the same room.

In the room where schemes were being plotted... the lights were dimmed and a lone figure opened an encrypted commline outside the base. A floating figure's hologram (mini sized) appears. “oh. It's you. How go things?”

The reploid smiles, “better then planned. Most of the new recruits believe the thigns i say. It helps that they are so secretive about their pasts... I mean who can trust a leader like Ciel who puts former murderers and enemy generals in charge?”

The floating hologram laughed, “Indeed. How soon can you put phase 3 of your plan into motion?”

“A week, maybe less. Heh, these fools. They don't even suspect me... Well. Maybe the bastard trio. But thats all. Everyone else seems quite taken with me.”

“the bastard trio?”

“Ah sorry, its what like minded people call Commanders Dray, X and Harpuia. Who can trust them? They all 'used' to be violent war mongers...”

“Hmm, good. If public opinion of them is low it'll help you out.”

“Indeed. Heh, I laugh everytime I think about it. After I take over a government sponsered rebellion. After all wihtout a rebellion of some sort there's no need for war machines. Or new heros. And then people start thinking maybe they need new leaders. This will work out for both of us, master.”

“Indeed. You are my second greatest creation... My first is nearing completion.”

“Oh? How good. My brother... the next 'hero' of the people. When he comes online tell him big brother Elpizo says hello.” He says laughing.

“I will. Now I must go, Weil Out.” The figure says, blinking out of existance.

Elpizo closes the comm channel and grins, “I can hear them now.. All hail Elpizo...” He laughs at that thought.

[Drayconis]

well after long ass break form writing MM stuff, i give you teh third chapter of RMZR2... enjoy

[swimstud600]

Elpizo is working for Weil huh? How's he like being the 2nd greatest creation, Bass never really liked hearing that. Gonna have him go after the dark elf and destroy Omega himself, along with the resistance? Meh, gonna be interesting to see where everyone stands.

[Professor Fann]

I finally decided to read the whole RMZR2 after some time of consideration.

Turns out it is not bad at all. Your creativity is now blossoming as we speak.
