Ker-shosh...
Ker-shosh...
Ker-shosh...
Those mechanical footsteps echoed throughout Radiant Garden as the robot carried the flower along the pathway he was being lead along. The maverick hunter's sharp gaze took in the sights especially as they followed along the pathway of the bailey toward the grand castle. As they ascended the stairs Zero took a moment to look out to the horizon.
The contrasting view of the blue earth and the orange sky gave the hunter pause as he looked past the chain link fence and out to the world beyond. It definitely didn't look like any sort of place he had been to before. Yet, he found his gaze driven toward the 'Great Maw' that he could only just barely see in the distance.
"..."
The hunter paused as he clutched his helmet and winced in pain. The faintest outline of a symbol or perhaps a letter flashed on that gem in his forehead as he fought back a splitting headache.
"G..." He shook it off however, and instead turned his attention toward the flower. "Hey you... These monsters of yours...Do they ever mention a Reploid by the name of Sigma?" He wasn't sure why he felt compelled to ask even as the words escaped his lips. Sigma had been dead. His friend X made sure of that the last time the two had to deal with another incursion of the rogue robots lead by him.
Still...What was this feeling of dread?

Zero still remained critical as he kept his gaze on the flower, though he didn't show much of a change in emotion he was dissecting everything he was saying carefully. The faux confidence and insults just kept coming but the hunter would let him have his little tantrum if it meant he could gain some more information. He was curious what sort of bunker he came from and what sort of mavericks had been hiding there but...He'd just have to find out at some other time.
"How about we check out this secret lab of yours then..." He simply stated as he lifted up the pot and began to take it out of the store. This lab he mentioned and the castle had peaked his interest more than the 'deadly monsters' he was going on about. After all, fighting was always familiar to him so he wasn't too worried about having to hunt down a few rogue robots hiding in the dirt. He needed to know where he was redirected to before he could make any moves.
"I'm sure I can access some sort of archive explaining just where this place actually is." He said looking out to the streets of that strange world. "With any luck I could open up a communication with my allies in the Hunter HQ." He continued, assuming there had to have been some sort of terminal or computer in this secret lab he was talking about. "I could find your bunker of mavericks underground after that. They won't be able to hurt anyone. I promise."

The robot closed his eyes and let out a slow exhale. Maybe he was going too far...This little flower could really be innocent. After all he had made no moves to attack Zero and it had seemed to be more panicked and confused than hostile. It could very well be just an incredibly uppity innocent. Though the fact that it kept SWEARING up and down that it was just a flower irked him somewhat. There was no way that could be right. Flowers weren't supposed to talk after all. Zero had no way of confirming what he actually was because he had no navigator to instruct him either.
"I'm sorry little one, I may have been taking my frustration out on you. I assumed you were an enemy. I was so dazed about ending up here and focused on the mission that I wasn't listening." He admitted, his tone turning a bit softer as he released his saber hilt and instead picked up the pot once more with a bit more care. He brought the plant to eye level once more so he could speak to him directly.
"I don't really need a partner Flowey, but you're looking like you need some help." He explained, though his frown didn't falter. Not in the slightest. The way he spoke about humans was enough to keep Zero on edge but it wasn't enough for him to lash out.
"You don't seem to know where here is either do you? Where are you from exactly?"

"Dr. Alphys? I haven't heard that name before." Zero simply remarked with a flat tone despite the fact that he finally was getting somewhere. This Alphys could be working with the Repliforce or maybe she could have been one of Sigma's proxies like Dr. Doppler! He was skeptical that his being here happened to be some sort of innocent mishap. A sudden inexplicable diversion to interrupt him and send him off course as he was about to confront the first Repliforce Commander? It was far too convenient. "Was she the one who created you? Is she the one who sent me here and interfered with my mission?" He asked holding the plant a bit closer, his brows furrowing a bit further in his intensity. He had no time for games and this flower was so busy throwing insults and panicked cries that it felt like pulling teeth to make sense of it. "For the record... I'm no monster you little pipsqueak. I'm the one who preys on the monsters. I'm Zero, a Maverick Hunter." He spoke frigidly as he finally set the pot down. He reached behind him, grabbing the hilt of his saber as he looked upon the flower with deadly indifference. "If I were you: I'd be giving me reasons to believe that you aren't a Maverick. Maybe you can start by being cooperative and telling me where the hell I ended up."

Well. That seemed certainly more emotion than he expected. Was this thing actually a Reploid? Or could it have been something...More? There was no way this was a sentient plant was there? No, that was a silly notion. Zero didn't have time for fantasies. He glowered down as he brought the plant to eye level. "Don't toy with me! Who sent you to spy on me? Why else would you be hiding out here?!" The hunter barked as his brows seemed to furrow.
"This city seems to be mostly inhabited by humans. Leaving you and me as the only ones that stand out. That can't be a coincidence!" He demanded, as he brought the plant closer to him. "If you expect me to believe you are a literal plant instead of a 'plant' put here to monitor me then you must think I'm pretty foolish!"
A doubt nagged at Zero though. Something he couldn't explain.
This city was so...Primitive. Everything seemed so outlandish and different from what he was used to. It could have all been a simulation of course, there had been some sort of bug that had been corrupting cyberspace. Maybe some Repliforce operatives managed to jack his consciousness into cyberspace while he was left unaware.
All he knew was that he had to be careful.

Ker-shosh...
Ker-shosh...
Ker-shosh...
The footsteps got closer and closer as the hunter made his way closer to his prey. He didn't care what sort of strange looks he might have received. Not when he was so sure he was being watched. Nor when he was so fixated on his current objective. He merely let his shadow loom over the flower for a moment as he inspected it.
"Well. What have we here?" Zero questioned as he focused on the trembling flower's pot. He glared daggers at the small little thing as he stared down upon him like a predator
"If I'm not mistaken... Flora isn't supposed to move like you. Not unless it was actually mechanical. So why don't you quit your acting and tell me what a mechaniloid is doing hiding out among the flowers. You better be quick before I start picking apart important pieces." The hunter threatened with cold edge to his tone as he attempted to reach for the pot.

The sound of mechanical feet walking through the streets filled the air as Maverick Hunter: Zero took his first steps through Radiant garden. The scarlet Reploid glanced about. The way he carried himself, the way he kept glancing about, and the mistrust in his expression were all clear give aways he was lost. The strange armor however, was what made it obvious that he truly didn't belong. Just where did he come from? Just where was he going? Those were the questions that persisted to any lost heart.
After a few moments of wandering... He placed his hand against the side of his helmet, activating the radio within. "Alia... Douglas... Signas...Anyone! I've been transported to an unknown location, I think the transport malfunctioned. I need navigator assistance to seek out a rendezvous point. I repeat, I need navigator assistance for a rendezvous point." The hunter stated, only to be greeted to the harsh hiss of static in return. He gnashed his teeth before pulling his hand away.
"Damn... Looks like I'm on my own." He growled, before crossing his arms to lean against a wall. He sat there for a moment, trying to think... When suddenly he caught a bit of movement in the corner of his eye. Across the street, a flower not unlike the bushel it was surrounded by was...Stretching? Zero's eyes narrowed on the plant as he stood up. It was probably a spy of some sort. If the Repliforce truly were responsible for sending him here they'd no doubt use a small Mechaniloid to keep tabs on him.
The hunter suddenly walked toward the shop with a stern and determined glare.

"We still have to fight... Not only against Mavericks, but against our own destiny as well." Name: Zero Age: 100+ Gender: Male Race: Somebody Heart Type: Shining Heart World of Origin: Abel City - 21XX Occupation: Maverick Hunter Appearance: Standing at 5’9 with a rather lithe build: The Maverick Hunter: Zero doesn’t exactly look the most intimidating from a glance. Yet, upon closer inspection: his sharp glare, cybernetic musculature, and high tech armor leave no doubt that Zero was made for one purpose: To fight. Zero is most easily recognized by his bright red and white highly advanced power armor, His impossibly long golden ponytail, and his emblematic ‘Z’ logo on his shoulder plate.
Personality:
At a glance, Zero comes off as cool and collected even in the most dire of circumstances. No matter what is thrown his way he always seems to be ready with a calculated retort. His experience from countless battles has helped harden his persona to the point that some might find him cold hearted and emotionless, though that is hardly the case.
In fact, Zero has been shown to be self-sacrificing to a fault. He’s often eager to put himself on the front lines in order to protect the innocent. This desire to protect can lead him to do bold things that often put his body in complete disrepair; If only to give his friends a chance to even the playing field with a particularly difficult foe.
Even though Zero may seem ambivalent to the fighting and the chaos around him: he too seems to long for peace between humans, Reploids, the light, and the dark. Though despite this dream: he holds no problems with fighting in the meantime. Unlike his more pacifistic friend, X, Zero holds an immense amount of pride in his abilities and position as a Maverick hunter. Yet he is still humble enough to acknowledge when others show greater potential or ability than his own.
Despite his stoic heroism, those Zero befriends can expect to see his far more lax and caring side that he keeps hidden when faced with a mission.
History:
Built to be the late Doctor Albert Wily’s ‘greatest masterpiece’: Serial Number: DWN-∞ otherwise known as ‘Zero’ was born a Maverick. Though the darkness in Zero’s heart made him violent and uncontrollable. The mighty Maverick refused even his twisted master orders! So the doctor sealed the robot away in a capsule, hoping it would reprogram him so Zero would enact his plans of vengeance upon the world in the future.
Decades passed as Zero remained dormant in his capsule. It wouldn’t be until a group of Reploids found his capsule that Zero would be unleashed. With no one to contain his darkness: the Maverick slaughtered the group and stayed in his former master’s ruins as some kind of twisted guardian. Eventually, he’d be cornered by a group of Maverick Hunters lead by their commander: a fiercely powerful Reploid by the name of Sigma.
Sigma and Zero battled to the point that the commander managed to incapacitate him with a mighty blow to the head. Impressed with his strength: the commander brought Zero to the kindly Doctor Cain: who repaired him. Upon coming too, Zero seemed like a changed person and in fact was taken under Sigma’s wing to be a Maverick Hunter himself.
Zero became an Elite Maverick Hunter and had quickly earned the highest rank the Maverick Hunters had to offer at that point of time. It was during that time in which he met the curious robot with the so called ‘limitless potential’ known as Mega Man X. The two became fast friends and partnered together whenever they could. Zero soon became somewhat of a mentor to X due to the latter’s tendency to hesitate in combat and the former’s unflinching resolve.
When a series of Mechaniloids began to go berserk within Abel City: Zero ended up deducing that the attacks had been orchestrated by none other than their leader: Sigma. Little did either realize, that during their very first encounter: Sigma managed to become infected by the darkness in Zero’s heart which had manifested into what would become known as the ‘Maverick Virus.’ Or, more aptly, Doctor Wily’s final revenge.
Despite finding the truth of Sigma’s treachery Zero and X were powerless to stop the Maverick’s final plan. To sow chaos and darkness while also testing the truth of X’s ‘limitless potential’ Sigma devastated Abel City with a rain of missiles.
So ended ‘The Day of Σ’ and kickstarted the Maverick Wars.
Zero and X both spent years fighting Sigma and his various groupings of Maverick followers. It seemed like every time the two would beat Sigma back or even destroy him he’d just come back stronger and stronger with more dark followers at his beck and call.
Yet, the Maverick Hunters had help of their own. Not only within their own ranks but through an army of Reploid peace seekers known as the Repliforce. Zero eventually ended up befriending two of the army’s prominent leaders. The fiercely proud Colonel and his lovely sister: Iris.
However, when the aerial city known as Sky Lagoon was attacked and sent crashing into the world below killing thousands; The Repliforce were cast under immediate suspicion. When asked to surrender for questioning, Colonel’s pride caused him to refuse. Their leader known as General is indignant of the suspicion and starts a coup d'état to build a Reploid-only nation. Though he means to have a peaceful secession with no intent to harm humanity, he and his army are labeled as Mavericks.
With friends being pit against each other in a new war: it seems that this destructive Maverick who has overcome his past to be reborn as a hunter…
…Will see his warped destiny reach its bitter conclusion.
