Prolouge: Pride, Honor, and False Justice
It’s a dark and gloomy night in Neo Arcadia... lightning shoots across the sky as the rain pours onto Tera. The thunder booms across the land, shaking even the tallest buildings. Not a soul in sight, fearing the lightning coming from the sky. A single bolt of electricity hits, and destroys a home. Catching the other homes on fire, everyone quickly works to put it out. But to no avail, the fire consumes the area. Another lightning bolt shoots across the sky, making everyone look towards the bolt. They can see five shadow figures standing atop one of the tallest buildings.
“Guardians! Save the people of Neo Arcadia, and put out the flames of nature!” the one leading commands.
The shadows move quickly to ease the people, and put out the fires. One uses the rain to his advantage. Quickly forming a cyclone of wind, before directing the rain towards the flames. Another rushes towards the flames, shooting large blocks of ice above the fires. The flames quickly melt the ice, causing a small flood. As flames surround a family is panic, they hug each other, saying their goodbyes. Another figure drops down in front of them, punching the ground, causing a wave of fire to counter the flames. Another figure takes the family to safety. Soon after, the city of Neo Arcadia is safe, and at ease once again.
“Guardians return to the castle!” the lead figure commands. At once, they disappear, as if they were never there. The people settle down, and help the ones who had just lost their homes.
At the castle, the lead figure sits down on his throne, as the other four surround him. Another shadow figure appears behind the throne.
“Well done everyone. I am pleased that not a soul was lost tonight.” speaks the lead shadow.
“It was all because of you and your leadership Master X.” one replies.
“Come now Harpuia, it was a team effort. Nothing less.” X replies back.
“It wasn’t much of a challenge! Flames are my specialty!” another speaks up.
“You’re too much of a hot head Fefnir.” the other speaks.
“Shut it Leviathan!” Fefnir shouts.
“Always shooting your mouth off.” the last figure says as he steps into the light.
Black chest plate, shoulder pads and arms. Silver in the middle of the shoulder pads, and silver in the middle of the chest plate, going across to the sides. He wears a black helmet, with silver right above his green eyes, and slightly to the side. A silver faceplate, that does cover his entire face. Black on his legs, with silver going down. His boots are also silver. Has a single spike going straight up on the front of the helmet. Silver arm guards, with black daggers that can extend out. A silver scarf flips in the air as he continues to walk forward.
“Keep a lid on it Zerowing! Remember we taught you everything you know!” Fefnir shouts.
“Easy Fefnir. You know Zerowing doesn’t mean any harm.” Harpuia says as he looks back at him.
“Hehehe... that’s right Fefnir! So you better treat Zerowing right!” the figure behind the throne says, as he floats in front of X.
“Dr. Weil, I really wish you would start telling me about your presence.” X speaks.
“Yeah, besides lurking in the shadows.” says Leviathan.
“Hehe... Master X, I have some urgent matters to talk with you about... they concern the legend Zero...” Weil says as he floats off. X stands up, and follows Weil. The four Guardians bow to X leaving, then walk out of the throne room. As they walk down the hallway, they talk about many things.
“That Weil... I know he’s up to something rotten!” says Harpuia.
“Master X trusts him, we should too.” Zerowing speaks.
“Eh, I don’t trust him one bit! I think he’s out to take control of Neo Arcadia!” Fefnir suggests..
“He could be... but how can we be sure?” Leviathan questions.
“Lurking in the shadows... If he is up to something, then we will stop him. That is the duty of us Guardians is it not?” Zerowing questions back.
“Heh, I can’t believe how much you have changed Zerowing. You have finally earned the Guardian rank. Phantom would have been proud of you. You were his top student.” Harpuia says as he places his hand on Zerowing’s shoulder.
“I miss Sensei Phantom at times... I will defeat this legendary Zero one day... in honor of Sensei...” speaks the black and silver Guardian.
“Not a chance! I’m the one who is going to defeat Zero! Not you!” Fefnir yells.
“Cool it hot head! We will all get our chances at Zero. Although I want to be the one to fight with him... hehe... it’s fun!” Leviathan says.
“You sicken me.” Fefnir says while putting his arms behind his head.
“Weil does worry me though... I do agree that he is up to something. But it may just be us thinking badly of him... I will say this. If he is up to something, I will put a stop to him myself.” Zerowing says as the other three Guardians walk off.
“I have no doubt about that Zerowing... hehehe... but can you destroy your Master X?” Weil says from the shadows. He watches Zerowing walk off into the hallway. He floats back towards the throne room.
“Master X! I have another urgent matter to discuss with you!” he says as the doors shut behind him. Zerowing walks to an open window in the castle, and looks out of it.
He remembers the times when Phantom was teaching him basic training. How Phantom never gave up on him, and always had faith in his talents. The day Phantom gave him his scarf, Zerowing gained more confidence in himself. Being a Guardian, has given this Reploid a better view on his lifetime. Just then, a loud alarm is sounded, to signal the Guardians to return to the throne room. Zerowing dashes towards the throne room, expecting to find the other Guardians. He finds X, in his armored form, with his back turned against him. The lights are out, and the lightning lights the room at times.
“Master X? Where are the others? What’s going on?” Zerowing questions.
“Why have you betrayed me Zerowing? I have treated you as Phantom had hoped you would be treated. And you repay me by trying to get the other three Guardians to take control of Neo Arcadia?” X questions as he turns around.
“What are you talking about Master X?! I would never do such a thing! I have been, and will always be your loyal servant!!” Zerowing pleads.
“Don’t try to fool me again. Weil has already told me of your lies, and how the other three Guardians walked off as you mentioned betraying me. He’s is talking with them right now! I am sorry to do this Zerowing... you are no longer a Guardian... too bad for you... that I cannot allow your powers outside of this castle!” X shouts as he charges towards Zerowing.
“Master X PLEASE!!” yells Zerowing. He dodges X, but he turns around firing a charged blast from his buster gun. The blast hits Zerowing, knocking him to the floor. He struggles to stand to his feet. X runs up to him, punching him back and forth.
“Why not fight Zerowing? You have nothing left to lose!” X says as he fires another blast point blank range. Zerowing flies back towards the throne, crashing into it. Damaged badly, he still stands to his feet.
“Because... Master X... I am always... loyal to you... Weil has tricked you!! Master please listen to me!!” begs Zerowing.
“Enough lies! I will not stand for this! Farewell Zerowing!” shouts X as he charges his buster gun.
He unleashes his charge shot, destroying most of Zerowing’s body. He crashes into the wall, falling into the sky outside. He hits the ground with great impact. No movement, and lifeless. Suddenly, a glowing object hovers above his body. It takes form of the Cyber Elf X.
“You were wrongfully judged Zerowing... there is no way I can save you... as my powers are weak even as I speak.... so I will take you away from here. You will have a death worthy of a Guardian. Someone who has fought to protect humans more times than I can count... it is sad... how easily my copied form can be tricked by evil...” he says as he turns back into a small glowing ball of light.
He turns Zerowing into a glowing ball of light as well. He takes Zerowing’s body to Ciel, who puts him inside of a chamber, that will keep him as is, but still lifeless. To avoid people talking about him, or even seeing him, she places him underground. Deep under the Resistance Base. Not even Zero knew about this. Ciel made sure that she did as X asked. Zerowing died as a Guardian.
A year or so has passed. Zero, the legendary Reploid gave his life to save the people of Tera, and Area Zero. The remaining Guardians were destroyed while aiding Zero defeat Omega, a demon from the Elf Wars. Weil was destroyed as well, by Zero’s own hands. Another year has passed, and Ciel has discovered something that makes her un-easy. A very large device, that contains the essence of Weil... she studies the device for years, and finally comes to this conclussion...
Weil would be back, and without Zero... she knew that the world would need new heroes to rise and fight the evil once again. She began to study Reploids of the past. The chosen Reploids were none other than Zero, Fefnir, Leviathan, Harpuia, Phantom, X and Zerowing... In order to harness their powers, she collected data on them. Their favorites, dislikes, and even their favorite place to go to. All of this data was collected, to create the perfect fighting aid. She called them Live Metals. Able to speak, with a mind of its own, and a will of its own. But these Live Metals would need a host, to bond with, and become stronger.
This was called the Rebirth of Crystallized Knowledge System. R.O.C.K System for short. Time after time, she attempted to find hosts for the Live Metals. But failed every time. She went into further studies of the Live Metals, and found an answer. Only certain hosts that contain a certain mineral inside of their body can transform. This mineral was later, code named “Rock Man”
Her plans were set into action, as she created that mineral, and began giving it to small children at an amusement park. The reasons for this, was so the mineral could help the child grow, and develop on a natural level. She handed the mineral out in candy form, so that the parents would not know anything. This also worried her. She was taking a very large risk by giving the candy to just anyone. She had no idea if the child was to grow up to be an evil leader, or a lone hero. But the chance had to be taken. On her very last visit to the park, Mavericks attacked the park. Killing countless people. Among them was many kids, who had the candy from before. Ciel, fell to one of the attacks. Her work was finished on that day. To her last breath, she thought only of Zero, and how she did the best she could do without him.
The Maverick attack was finally taken care of by a man named Serpen. His forces took care of the people as they ran for their lives. Among the Mavericks captured, was a wild baboon Reploid, who escaped from his cage among the excitement. Many of the children now had no parents to live with. Some were alone, with not a soul to rely on. Serpen’s forces may have taken the Mavericks out, but failed to aid the needy in their darkest hours. One boy, and a girl walk away with a man named Giroutte, who had a secret job in mind. Another boy cries for the death of his sister, as they were orphans, visiting the park just to find food to eat. At a very young age.
Eleven years has passed since then. The boy and girl taken by Giro turned out to be the chosen ones for Model X, of the Live Metals. They found Serpen to be the holder of Model W, the same device that Ciel feared. They fought bravely, and saved Tera from a great evil. The boy who lost his sister is nothing more than a common thief now. He still searches for meaning in his life, hoping to find it one day. Until that day, he will continue to steal for his life to be spared another dreadful day.
