Mega Man Zero Resurrection

Chapter 20

Immortal Legend

They had failed their master. Still, Neo Arcadia needed them. Humanity needed them.

Harpuia stood and sighed. The 'god of Destruction' had claimed another life while they were crushed by…Vile, was it? In all of his years of serving his now deceased master he had never seen such power as Zero and Vile wielded.

"Harpuia, what are we supposed to do now?" Fefnir demanded.

"Until Phantom reports there is little we can do. Save for protecting Neo Arcadia as well as we are able."

"That I can agree with." Leviathan nodded.

Iris was frantic. Zero had not returned and it was growing dark. He had been fighting for nearly fifty hours without rest now.

A soldier came in the room. He saluted but she saw something in his eyes that terrified her.

"We have lost total contact with Zero. We hope that he is alright but, we aren't sure." The soldier saluted once more and then left the room.

As soon as he had left she collapsed to her knees and wept.

"Zero!" She wailed.

Massimo, Spider, Nana, and X returned to the Central Tower. Their mission was a total success. They had even managed on taking the mine. Perhaps, soon, the mine could be used for its original purposes once more; instead of the POW camp it had become.

"Well, done." R greeted them.

He saw Alia and she smiled at him.

Zero stared as even more enemies appeared. This time they were supported by Golems and he was running low on energy. He needed to rest. He sighed before he activated the 'Emergency Transfer System' That Cerveau had given to him. A few seconds later he was in the Trans Server Room of the Resistance base. As he exited the room he came face to face with Vile.

"Iris needs you." Vile told him without any preamble.

Zero nodded.

"Could you let Ciel know that I'm back?" Zero asked as he began to leave.

"…I suppose…" Vile sighed

"Thanks." Zero called back to him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Until Zero returned her heart would continue to break. It had been far too long since he had vanished; almost three days had passed since she had last seen him. Vile had returned almost immediately but Zero didn't. Iris had to believe that he was still alive…

"Iris, you need to be strong." Iris nearly broke down, Zero had returned!

"Iris, I know you need me, I'm just sorry I took so long." She spun and saw an extremely tired looking Zero.

"Zero!" She cried and rushed into his arms.

"I'm alright Iris." Zero assured her as he caressed her long brown hair.

She broke into tears; filled with emotion, relief and joy and many more emotions fueled her tears.

"Zero I love you." She said him even as she wept.
