[something that came to mind while I was at work, listening to my mp3 player, the soundtrack of the movie Toys came up First part is set to LEt joy and innocence prevail]
"Doctor Light Doctor Light!" Roll Light ran as fast as she could as she waved frantically. "They did it! Everyone they did it!"
Dr light blinks as he stands up, only to get shoved to the side as Princess Celestia flew past him at a speed that would make Rainbow blnk in awe. "Ah! the portal is back!"
At her conformation the rest of those left behind slowly made their way out.
"Zero... please be safe.." Ciel says softly as a pair of hands lay on her shoulders.
"Don't worry.." Iris says softly.
"Zero is too stubbern to die. Kinda like us." Colonel says with a smirk.
Ciel blinks and smiles as she blinks away teh tears that had started to form.. "yeah.. your right.."
"Any Sign of Twilght and my ponies?" Celestia asks, blinking as Iris shakes her head.
"the portal has only just.. -huff- opened your majesty.." Dr Light gasps as he moves to the princesses side. "IT will be some time before anyone appears."
" just hope my Navi is ok." Lan murmers to himself as fluttershy gasps loudly.
"Look! Someone is coming!"
One by one, the triumphant yet exhausted heroes appeared,
Rock was first, supported by Blues and Rush as he wobbled out followed by Bass. NExt came Net navi Megaman, followed by the Megaman Vent, Aile, Grey, and Ashe. Models X, Z, and A all following behind as their partners where too tired to keep megamerged. Navi Bass and Sigma came next as X, reduced to his Cyberelf form followed behind. Rainbow dash slowly trotted out, trying to look brave and strong for her friends, despite her obviouse leaning on Apple jack as Twilight followed, HEr horn lowing a soft purple as she gently supported her friends. Rarity and Pinkie where the last of the group to walk out as the ponies where scooped into a magical hug by the worried princess.
"OH I WAS SO WORRIED! Im so glad your all back safe and sound.." Celestia says as Twilight frowns..
"Not all of us... are back yet." she says softly as iris and Ciel walked over.
"Hey.. where is Zero?"
"Hes.. not back yet.." Twilight replies sadly as she looked at the portal... Some faces in dim shock as the portal closed...
[within the portal: For endless fight in Ressonance]
Zero was the last of the ones standing, as he looked aorund the empty wasteland around him. The Nightmare was vanquished, Lost warrors had been returned... he felt like he had finally repented for his damage to the world.
So why was he the one left behind?
"We forgive you Zero, now you must forgive yourself."
Iris's words echoed in his mind as he blinked in thought. "Is that it? Even after all of this.. some part of me.. wants to be punished still?"
"No... your just last in line.. Zero.."
Zero blinks as he looks over as the Green Swordsman slowly padded to him. "its you.. again... I kept your sword safe.. like you asked."
"I know.. Fluttershy has it. Good choice... leaving her the sword, and behind. " the hero says nodding as he flexes his wings. "You have done well Zero. You have explore the land, cleared it of an ancient curse.. restored the balance between Nature, harmony, and chaos. Freed not only the mind of the greatest rulers of this land, but also saved races from extinction. Not only have you save countless lives today, but you saved the heroes once thought lost, and returned them to ther loved ones."
"You know, I feel alot better.. maybe.."
"Maybe Iris was right then? You needed to forgive yourself.. and in a way, you have. we are the same man, born to different lands, and I have forgiven you for your acts of darkness in the past."
"So... what are you going to do now? Are you going to stay 'dead' for good? or will you come back with me?" Zero asks as he sat next to the pegasus.
"I plan to return soon, just want to make sure the Nightmare is gone for good..." the pony says nodding.
"You better not be lying to yourself again." Zero replies and laughs softly. "Once I have the energy, Ill get out of your mane then." Zero says laying back.
"Hehe.. who says I want you to leave me alone? We still have to settle an old score.."
Zero smirks as the two continue on the portal opening slowly again before them..
--------------------------------------------------
Twilight blinks as she notices the portal open and close, as she climbs up to look, Iris and some others noticing her motions as they follow the unicorn. She gasps as she reaches the top of the hill.. there at the top where the two swordsman.
Zero stood across, his armor patterned blue in his harmonious form. To their surprise, The pegasus across omega, had similar pattern as well as the two faced each other. The Green swordsman of Legend crouched low to the floor, blade in jaws as Zero held his twin blades Omega and Sigma. To the north Twilight saw Celestia and Luna watching with X and the newer heroes, the chosens of models ZX and A. Fluttershy, who had at once feared the very idea of this battle, sat with a look of concentration on her face as she watched the heroes.
"One point. Full power, you ready?" Zero asks softly.
"Lets settle this for good.. " The pegasus agrees.
