The room was dark, my mind full of the sensation of pain, anger, anguish, rage. Desire to simply destroy everything...
"ZERO! STOP THIS NOW!"
The voice got my attention as I turned and saw X, the real X, not the fake one id been fighting.
"NO! DON'T MAKE ME TERMINATE YOU!" X shouts not noticing my confused expression as I looked down, and saw myself in my arms. Looking up I hear laughter as X fades away replaced by the man of my nightmares.
"Zero... once again you fail to remember your purpose. You where made to kill and conquer..." The shadow of the man looms over me yet again. "Now go. That's an order."
"I am who you are supposed to be." I watch as the image fades and Omega appears. "A monster. Made to destroy things. What was it the doctor called us? Ah yes.. a blood thirsty god of Destruction. But we are also a sword of Vengeance. Tell me... now that you have seen the side of the accused mavericks, do you regret any actions as a hunter?"
I tried to speak but no words came out as omega chuckles happily.
"You don't. Not a single one, not even when you slaughter all of repliforce." Omega smiles darkly. "Do you remember how it felt holding Iris as she lost her power? Do you remember the intense rage as you cut down the general? OR do you really believe you put all of that behind you because of sigma?"
"Why... Why do you haunt me with all of this?" I managed to ask.
"Simple. I am but the destructive programming, lay dormant within your mind. Your fears, your curses, every negative aspect of your being combined with the knowledge of your Robot Master heritage gave birth to me. Of course, it also gave birth to your other aspect.. The Heroic one, who rose up against Neo Arcadia,and the one who has helped save the world countless times." Omega chuckles. "Ciel described the past perfectly didn't you? Peace through force. Copy X, was not a failure, merely a more obvious picture of what you hunters did daily. OR perhaps, what the others saw you as..."
"Neo Arcadia was wrong.. terminating innocent reploids.." I start as the images of Repliforce hit me again.
"Then WHY DID YOU KILL REPLIFORCE?" Omega asks forcefully. "They where also innocent. Yet YOU cut them down yourself. That was no difference from Neo Arcadia." Omega folds his arms. "Or perhaps.. that's the real reasoning... the true reason, the underlying never ending guilt for your mistakes... perhaps that's why you helped the 'innocent' resistance. To make up for the fact you killed off innocents yourself. Not that they where the first.. or last.."
Omega faded away as another Zero appeared. This one like my Hunter self. "He has a point, yet is also wrong. You remember don't you? You gave the colonel a choice, in fact the only reason you stood against repliforce, was that they had taken over many cities, declaring war on the hunters. IF they where truely innocent, X would never have stood against them would he?" The hunter smiles. "X was and always has been our guiding light. So we made mistakes, so we have some blood on our hands. WE did what was right for the people of the world." He pats my shoulder. "You and X, are the only ones who can truly see this... as for Iris... that was an accident. She attacked us, not the other way around. We did not mean to kill her, it was accidental."
I nod as that part of my memory returns.
"We may have been made for destruction... but we still used that destructive force to save lives. Never forget that. The sword may always be a weapon, but it is the one who wields the sword, who decides its fate. You are a sword with a will."
I watches as The Third Zero vanishes leaving me in the darkness alone.. I blink as the shadows begin to fade,, as conciousness begins to return.
"Zero, Zero Wake up!"
that voice... Twilight?
"come on! shes gonna be here any minute!"
she sounds worried about something... she? Whos... she?
"ZERO!"
[there ya guys go, utterly random chapter that came to mind.. Zero in first person. Kinda different and not to be done often dont worry. But yeah... enjoy ^_^]
