When Zero opened his eyes he was in another place completely. Certainly this hadn't been anywhere near Abel city. What he saw was a clear open field with flowers and weeds sprouting up from the grass. A swing set, a few slides and monkey bars. They hadn't had this in Their time of 21XX. This is what could be described as a local public park. Okay so Zero was in a park on a bench. That didn't really answer where he was. Zero has started to look around. Suddenly he saw a bunch of little of what looked like cleaning bots, scowering the ground cleaning anything and everything they could. All the while recycling. But the first thing that Zero noticed were the make and model of said robots. They were ancient. Suddenly Zero felt very lost.
He began to walk around more and more. Seeing alot of the technology walking and wondering around He began to notice everything was out of date. Suddenly the realization had fallen over Zero. He had gone back in time. More than 100 years. If it were true then that had meant His creator were still alive. Also X's creator, The well known Thomas Light. Zero hadn't been sure who his creator was so the best thing was to go find Thomas Light to get some answers and posibally a way home.
Everything in the city said Monsteropolis. So that must've been where He was. He knew that Light Labs were located somewhere in or near Monstropolis so He must've been doing a good job thus far. Sort of. Zero had suddenly spotted a police station. He casually walked inside, up to the front desk.
"Hello can you tell me where I can find Light Labs?" Zero asked the clerk woman at said desk.
"Oh my yes. Are you new here Sir?" She said cheeks a little rosy.
Zero had realized what he'd been wearing. His sleep stuff. Which consisted of a T-shirt and some shorts, No shoes, and 2 slightly high but not all the way to the knees mitch matched socks. His hair was completely down and over the place. A straight case of classic bedhead.
"Err I guess you could say that...So can I have those directions?" Zero answered slightly embarased at his just out of bed appearance.
"Just go around the corner walk straight and turn left, and You'll see it not too far off.
"Thanks Ma'am" Zero said exiting the station swiftly.
Doing just as the Woman said He had reached Light Labs. Knocking on the door he'd heard a loud thump, and a "OUCH ROLL YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE" Coming from a boyish voice from inside the door. "Well Rock maybe now you won't leave your hover board by the stairs" A girlish voice had replied.
Zero sighed and rang the door bell again. He then heard the girlish voice reply "COMING". Zero had stepped back so she could open the door. When the door was open He saw a girl that couldn't have been over the age of 12. She had her long blonde hair tied into a pony tail with bangs covering her forhead. She was wearing a simple red dress that fell to Her knees. She sternly looked at Zero.
"Who are you? State your business." The girl had said straight forward and determined.
For some reason Zero had felt a little intimidated. But he responded anyhow.
"My name is Zero and I'm here to see Dr. Light." Zero stated.
"Oh I see come on in I'll make you some tea" She said happily and marched off with spring in her step Zero followed her to the living room where She then made him sit.
"I'll go tell Dr. Light your here and get tea so hold on a sec...by the way My name is Roll" Roll said cheerfully.
"That's a cool name and thanks again Roll" Zero replied. With that She walked away leaving Zero all alone in the cozy livingroom.
Zero was about to doze off. He'd been walking all around town for seemed like hours and hours and frankly Zero was about to just crash. He was waiting for about 15 minutes when suddenly a boy with brown hair had walked up. He was small and slender. Wearing all blue. Imediatly Zero had hopped up, and hugged the boy.
"X!?... I'm so glad your safe" Zero had exclaimed. The boy was however not returning the hug but gave Zero a look of utter confusion. Zero had caught wind of this and let go.
"Erm...mister...this is sorta awkward...Who's X? My name is Rock...who are you? and why're you in my livingroom?" Rock had asked awkwardly.
Zero then felt extremely awkward. The boy looked so much liked X but the closer Zero had looked the more and more he could see the differences. Eye color, He was younger not as tall and had a slightly different hair cut, and his face was a little different.
"I'm so sorry Kid I thought you were someone else...er I'm Zero" Zero responded apologetically.
"But you never answered my question who's X...your girlfriend?" Rock asked smugly.
"Something like that. Although not a girl" Zero said outright. Rock made a confused face.
Finally Dr. Light and Roll came into the livingroom.
"So this is the one you were telling me about Roll?" Dr. Light asked.
"That's right Doc" Roll responded placing the tea cups down.
Zero had known what Dr. Light had looked like. He'd seen X's recordings of Dr. Light and his upgrade capsels. It was sort of weird to actually see the man in person.
"My god your such an advanced specimen" Dr. Light had suddenly blurted out.
"Erm...thanks?" Zero had awkwardly responded looking at his knees.
"Your specs don't look like anything I've ever seen I thought you were completely human. Who made you?" Dr. Light exclaimed.
"Honestly I have no idea. But I think I've gone back in time or something what year is this?" Zero asked.
"20XX" Rock had replied.
"Okay that makes alot of since. Things are alot different in my time" Zero said realizing he was right.
"What year are you from?" Roll asked.
"21XX" Zero responded casually.
The three were then dumbstruck. Seriously was time travel possible in the future?
"Is there any way for me to go back to my time?" Zero asked.
"No I'm afraid time travel isn't possible yet But let me ask you this. Is there peace in your time?" Dr. Light asked.
"No. I'm not gonna suger coat. Maverick robots are running lose and the only people that can stop them are the Maverick hunters. Alot of the humans are living cushy lives while the others struggle because robots have taken all their jobs. There's nuclear wars and the leaders of the world are a bunch of cowards. There's only one genius left and his name is Dr. Cain." Zero said in a serious tone.
"Please tell me it was a lie" Dr. Light said distraughtly.
"No I won't because its the truth. Peace never lasts." Zero said simply.
"We've fought so hard for peace just for the people of the future to throw it away" Rock said with tears in his eyes.
"Don't fear. Thats the future. You guys live in your present time. Warn future generations of what they'll become if they keep doing what their doing. Then maybe we ll see a brighter day." Zero said.
Both Rock and Dr. Light had then looked up and nodded.
"By the way Dr. Light have you started building X yet?" Zero asked anxiously.
"How do you know about that? No one knows about that. But since you asked he's still in blue print form and I'm making his core" Dr. Light said.
"In My time X is a maverick hunter alongside myself He's saved the world tons of times. He's the shining hope for humanity. Everyone believes in him. Honestly the future would be pretty damn bleak if you hadn't built him and for that I thank you Dr Light" Zero explained.
"That's a relieve he's chosen to fight for good. I was really worried about the plans for his A.I system but now I know I have done good. By the way he sounds like he should be your rival since your both maverick hunters and around the same age in looks. What's your relationship with my X?" Dr. Light asked.
"He's my best friend and we're lovers. Also partners in maverick hunting" Zero said.
"X is homosexual?...Well...Ha you give robots complete free will and they're homosexual...god knows that happens alot around here. What did you say your name was again?" Dr. Light said with slight laughter.
"Zero" Zero responded not amused with his laughter.
Suddenly Dr. Light looked serious.
"Son I think I know who created you. The madman Dr. Wily. He's been using robots for evil for a long time now and honestly I heard he was working on something big. Maybe thats you" Dr. Light responded.
"Do you know where I can find Him?" Zero asked anxiously.
Dr. Light sighed. "Yes. The other side of town on the west end. You can find Skull Fortress. I wouldn't go. You'll be dissapointed."
"No I have to this is the man who created me after all." Zero said almost out the door.
"Zero your welcome to come back and stay if you want" Dr. Light said.
"Okay I may just have to take you up on that offer. Bye everyone" With that last statement Zero was out the door.
On his way to Dr. Wily's fortress. He'd finally meet his creator. The questions about his origin would dissapear. But was Zero ready?
