Hello, this is my first story and it's also incomplete. I have several fragments made but I haven't connected them all yet. So if it takes longer for some parts I'm sorry. Well I hope you enjoy it.

Takes place after MMZ 4. Warning: small spoiler at beginning.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the megaman characters. All characters belong to Capcom.

Ciel stared up at the night sky as pieces of Ragnarok shot across it, burning up in the atmosphere.

"Zero…" she said, "you believed in us… now it's our turn to show you that your faith in us was not misplaced… watch Zero… I'll make this world a better place… one where humans and reploids can walk hand in hand, living in peace… Just come back someday… I… I believe in you!"

Pieces of Ragnarok continued to streak across the sky. As they did, a stray piece didn't completely burn up in atmosphere. It was a small, microchip like piece with a large semi-sphere shaped bulb in the middle. Lit up in the bulb was a blue, W-shaped symbol. The piece landed in a small area with a broken down capsule dominating the middle. For a moment, nothing happened, the chip just laid there with the symbol glowing on it. Then, the chip suddenly began floating in the air and several broken down reploid parts began springing from the ground and attaching themselves together and to the chip. As the combining parts began to form a humanoid shape, the symbol on the chip began flashing wildly until it suddenly changed to a pinkish reddish symbol that looked like a Ω. When it was over, a familiar figure clad in dark crimson armor stood there. The figure let out a small dark chuckle before bursting out in maniacal laughter.

"I am reborn," he shouted.

The figure looked over himself and gave a small scowl. Despite being resurrected, his body was still badly damaged and he could feel that the power he once had was now gone.

"Damn that Zero," he said, "I'll make him pay for this. I'll make him pay dearly. Then, I'll kill everyone else on this damn planet. And this time, that crazy fool Weil won't hold me back."

The figure began limping towards the exit. He wasn't going to let anyone or anything stop him this time. He was going to destroy everything. After all, he was Omega, the god of destruction.

Ciel sat on her bed with tears running down her cheeks as she tried to cry herself asleep again. It had been a month since zero had stopped Ragnarok. The resistance base hadn't been the same since then. Nobody was that cheerful anymore. Everyone just kept going on with their lives in silence. Some would try to pull up conversations with others, but it never seemed to work. It just kept feeling like something was missing.

As Ciel tried to fall asleep, somebody knocked at her door.

"Come in," she said quickly wiping away her tears and standing up.

Alouette opened the door and walked in, holding her stuffed animal as usual.

"Hello Alouette," Ciel greeted trying to look cheerful, "Do you need something?"

"Ciel," Alouette asked, "When is Zero coming back?"

Ciel frowned. She hadn't talked to anyone about Zero since his "disappearance". Anytime somebody brought it up she would just run off. People said they would hear her crying in room moments later. Sometimes, when people even tried to follow her, she would just yell at them to leave her alone. Ciel just stared at Alouette for a moment, tears coming to her eyes. Then, she walked over and wrapped her arms around her.

"I don't know Alouette," she cried, "but I hope he comes back soon."

Alouette returned the hug as Ciel started to cry into her shoulder. Neige watched the scene as she walked by. She felt very sad for Ciel. Even though she had tried to hide it, Ciel had taken Zero's death the hardest. Everyone at the base was worried about her. Even though she had tried to act cheerful in front of them, they could all tell she was very upset. Not only that, but she rarely ate now, she spent as much time as she could in her room, and it appeared that she had convinced herself that Zero was coming back. Neige let out a sigh. She hoped that Ciel would recover from this soon.

Omega pulled himself across the sand in the direction of the resistance base. As he moved, the night sky twinkled above him. It made him sick. He wanted to see the sky red with destruction and the ground covered in blood. He smiled at the thought. What a beautiful dream that would be. He couldn't wait to make it come true.

Neige stood in front of Ciel's door. She raised her hand to knock and then stopped. She wanted to make her friend feel better, but what would she say? She couldn't just tell her to get over it. Even she still missed Zero a bit. Neige shook her head. She had to try and make Ciel feel better, even if she had no idea how, she still had to at least try. Neige knocked on the door. There was no response at first. Then, Ciel opened the door looking like she had just been crying.

"Hi Ciel," Neige greeted her, "May I come in?"

Ciel nodded in response before inviting Neige in. After sitting down next to Ciel on her bed, Neige took a deep breath before speaking up.

"Ciel," she said, "I need to ask you about Zero."

Ciel looked up at Neige in surprise.

"What! Why?" she asked.

"Well… talk to you about him is more like it," Neige replied.

"I-I just remembered I have to be somewhere," Ciel said standing up to go.

Neige grabbed her arm before she could leave.

"You don't need to be anywhere," Neige said holding her in place, "and you have to learn to be able to talk about this."

Ciel just looked angrily at Neige as Neige stared back with a serious look on her face. After a few seconds, Ciel's expression saddened before she burst into tears on Neige's chest, taking Neige by surprise.

"I miss him so much!" Ciel cried, "He promised me he would always comeback! Always! But he hasn't returned yet! I know everybody's saying he's gone, but I just can't accept that! He has to come back! He just has to!"

Neige softly patted Ciel on the back as she continued.

"I'm sorry you have to see me like this," Ciel apologized, "but I can't help it! I just want to see him again!"

Ciel continued to cry into Neige's chest. After a while, Neige spoke up again.

"It's ok Ciel," she said, "I know exactly what you're going through."

Ciel looked up at Neige angrily.

"You think you know what I'm going through!" she yelled furiously, "You don't know anything about me! How could you possibly know what I'm going through!"

Now, Neige looked at Ciel angrily.

"Have you forgotten about Craft?" she yelled.

Ciel looked at Neige in surprise. Both were silent for a long moment. Then, Ciel finally broke the silence.

"I'm… sorry," she said guiltfully, "I didn't mean to insult you like that."

"One," Neige said calmly, "You didn't insult me, although it did hurt a little. Two, you need to learn that there are other people at this base who need you and care for you. I'm not saying you should forget about Zero, but you can't let his… going away, keep you from helping everyone. You need to say strong for everybody here. Especially Alouette."

Ciel nodded in reply.

"I understand," she said, "and thanks for the talk. I feel a lot better now."

Neige smiled.

"You're welcome," she replied before leaving.

Inside the guard turrets atop the resistance base, two resistance soldiers watched over the area.

"Why are we still up here?" asked the first soldier.

"We're supposed to be watching for enemies," replied the second soldier.

"But Weil is gone and so is Neo Arcadia," said the first soldier, "There's no one else who would want to attack us."

"You can never know."

"Know what?"

"There could be some unknown enemy out there."

"Yeah right."

"It's possible."

"I don't think so. All I know is that this is a big waste of our-" the first soldier stopped.

"What is it?"

"I see something."

"What?"

"It looks like a person heading this way. He's too far away to tell if it's someone we know though."

"Keep an eye on him; I'll go alert everyone in the base."

"Better hurry, he looks like he's badly hurt."

Ciel walked into the control room as everyone was trying to find out who the strange arrival was.

"Operator," she said, "Have you got an image of the newcomer yet?"

"He just walked into range," replied the Operator, "We should have an image soon."

"Good," Ciel replied before turning to the monitor.

After a few seconds, the Operator spoke up again.

"Displaying the image now," she said.

Everyone's eyes widened in shock as the image appeared on the screen. Nobody spoke for a long moment. Then, Ciel finally broke the silence.

"Z-Z-Zero!" she cried.

Omega growled as he limped closer to the resistance base. He was going to make them pay. He was going to make them all pay, starting with Zero. Suddenly, Omega's legs gave out and he collapsed.

"Damn it!" he yelled.

Omega looked up as he started to feel his systems shutting down. The last thing he saw before falling unconscious was a young, blonde-haired, human girl running towards him.

"Zero!" he heard her yell.

(Well I hope you like it so far.)
