Encounter

The little girl is shocked and runs into the ruins, Zero still cannot believe what he saw "HEY WAIT" Zero shouts while the girl running into the ruins. Meanwhile, other footsteps approach Zero from behind. Zero turn his back and saw a big figure with four arms, with a disfigured face. Zero confidently "so you are the problem in this area huh creeper." and smile. Zero pointing the gun towards the big creeper face "you are different from the other creeper, seems like this gonna be a good match." the big creeper roar and Zero immediately pull the trigger but the shot was missed, then the big creeper punch Zero in the guts with his two arms. The punch was so powerful that it smashes Zero into the wall of the ruins, Zero stands up "damn that punch" Zero slowly looks up to the big creeper. The big creeper grabs Zero in the neck and lifts him to his face, Zero pulls out a flash grenade from his pouch and throws it in between his and the big creeper's face. Right before the flash grenade explodes, Zero changes his eye into protection against the flash "you realize that your face is pretty ugly". The flash grenade explodes, the big creeper drops Zero and covers his eyes while roaring. Zero shouts "ADIOS!!!" and quickly runs toward the ruins where the little girl went. While Zero wandering inside the ruins "where did the little girl go, I can't believe that there is a human that survives the Ether War" Zero pulls out a triangular shape drone "find the girl" the drone flew away while Zero sitting on the floor and wait. After a few minutes, Zero receives a signal from the drone that the drone is destroyed, he immediately rushes into the place where the drone was destroyed. When Zero arrives, he proceeds with caution and looks for the drone. He found the drone shattered into pieces on the floor, he picks up a piece from the floor "what the?" and something zaps him from the back into the unconscious.

When Zero woke up from the unconsciousness "where am I...." and saw the little girl stands in front of him.

The little girl use zero gun and point on zero "are you a bad robot?"

Zero raise his both arm "I am not a bad robot, and please put that thing away"

The little girl then asks "did you come here to hurt me?" Zero confuse "what... I didn't come here to hurt you" The little girl then ask "so what are doing in here"

Zero "you see the giant ugly robot outside, I come here to deal with him"

The little girl "then you are not a bad robot" and smiled at him, Zero ask "hey what's your name?" The girl answer "you can call me Ellia" and handed him a glass of water.

Zero take the water and reply "you can call me Zero"

Ellia "Zero? such a weird name."

Zero chuckles "not weirder than you"

Ellia handed Zero his gun "So Ellia do you live here alone?"

Ellia "yeah..." Zero curiously asks "so no one accompanies you?"

Ellia go to his backpack and take out a small robot "here I have T-Mon"

Zero grabs T-Mon and looks around it (so this is the one who taught her to talk, never seen one until now), Ellia "is something wrong?"

Zero "ah nothing, but T-Mon seems down" and hand over T-Mon to Ellia "can you help me activate it?" (this thing can only be activated by its master, I hope there are some answers for this little girl and humanity survival from the Ether War).

Ellia "Sorry Zero I can't activate T-Mon"

Zero "uh okay, why?"

Ellia "because it already broke about a month ago"

Zero "okay, guess we just need to fix it"

Ellia "REALLY!! you can fix T-Mon"

Zero "Sorry Ellia not me, but I know someone who can fix him"

Ellia "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I can play with T-Mon again" while jumping happily.

Zero stand up "but first we need to deal with the giant ugly robot"

Ellia "but how?"

Zero gearing up "leave it to me"

Zero went outside of the ruins "Ellia doesn't come out until I tell you so" the big Ether is waiting outside as soon as it saw Zero, It immediately rush into Zero. Zero with his quick reflexes dodges it and running away to separate the big Ether from the ruins where Ellia at, he lures the big Ether into an open field. "OK, now we can fight with all of my power" Zero smiles and change into a battle stance, the big Ether roar and then jump up high while Zero sees it up high "what the..." the big Ether then smashes landing into Zero. But with his quick reflexes, he was able to dodge it "fiuh, almost got me that one" Zero point the gun and shot towards it but was blocked by the big Ether arm "Seems like there was no effect on you" and put away his gun. The big Ether runs towards Zero and lands a punch that sends him away, Zero then stood up and smiled "BOOOM" the two right arms of the big Ether were blown up. Right before the landing of the punch Zero already stuck a bomb to the big Ether's arms, The big Ether scream in agony and rushes toward Zero "Now it's time to end this" Zero said confidently. Zero runs towards the big Etherium that is approaching him, right when the big Ether gonna land another punch. Zero jump over the big Ether and plant another bomb on its back, just right when the big Ether turns around want to land another punch, the bomb activate and blew a hole through the chest that hit the core of the big Ether "have a nice dream" Zero smiles and watch the big Ether go down. Zero then went back to the ruins "hey Ellia, come out now" Ellia walks out from the ruins "you take care of the big robot?" Zero approaches her and pats her head"Easy Peasy" both of them smile. Zero takes a cloak from the ground "Now let's fix T-Mon" and the two of them head back to Alpha Max.
