Fate of the Heroes

[White-Jet]

Aftermath of the War

During the war of Arcadia and Demon, the Resistance forces were left in the dark, having no idea what they should do. Though painful to watch, the only option they had was to watch and hope for the best. Tragic that Arcadia no longer existed after the war ended, it didn't stop Ciel from dreaming of a future of peace. She and the Resistance members moved to Area Zero, which had been turned into a city of mixes between future and past.

Approximately 10 years after the war, a new defense force formed called "Guardian". Lead by Ciel, they would hover over the currently renewing world and montior the situation of certain cities they considered to be peaceful and carefree. Any reported desturbence is quickly dealt with by some of their more highly advanced hybrid of human and reploid combinations. Though powerful, it wasn't enough to protect the world from everything.

Seperation of Evil

One day, Ciel and her team were called out to a mysterious forest where they came across fragments of Ragnarok, the once most feared space weapon in history. Fearing that the dark nations would get their hands on the remains of Ragnarok and turn it into something more deadly than what Weil had cooked up, she and her team had decided to take the fragments somewhere secluded to study.

Not long after moving to a lesser known site, one of Ciel's study members got to close to one of the fragments and went berserk, destroying the team and running off with the fragment that caused the whole thing. Ciel is nowhere to be found.

Recovery of Biometals

The event of Ciel's disappearance and the destruction of her team hit the Guardian team hard. Appointing Ciel's sister, Prarie as their new commander for the duration of her disapppearance, they began search and rescue operation that would take another 10 or so years to complete. During that time, they learned from scattered datas of Ciel's voice logs about the fragments of Ragnarok and how she plans on making sure they don't fall into the wrong hands.

There were instructions on how to locate some of the fragments she re-named "Biometals". Unfortunatly, due to damage of the voice logs, they only managed to locate two of the six metals she considered safe to use, Model X and Model Z.

One of them, Model Z, wound up in the hands of a former Hunter-turned-express manager named Giro. It was unknown as to how he found Model Z and managed to control its powers, but through him, the Guardians learned just how the metals worked.

Each Biometal carried the memory and battle data of the heroes who had helped quell evil in the past. Should the metals choose who will control them, the wielder has the ability to take on their armor and memorize battle skills as if they had known them throughout their lives. It is unknown as to whether they actually carry the souls of the heroes they potray.

Chosen Ones

Designated as those the Biometal deems worthy to wield their powers. This became evident 10 years later during a delivery gone wrong.

Giro, continuing his delivery business, has taken Vent and Aile, a brother and sister twin rescued from a Maverick raid ten years prior, on a business trip to a rondezvous point in the Area A sector. Before they could leave, a Maverick ambush blew Vent's vehicle, sending him and Aile crashing into the forest below where they ran into Prarie and her Guardians minutes later.

The greetings were interupted by another Maverick, this time a serphant mechaniloid, seeming to have arrived for the package that was supposed to be delivered: A blue, floating piece of metal known as Model X.

Prarie refused to leave, even though her men weren't strong enough to take the monster out. Vent and Aile, not completely understanding the whole value of Model X jumps in front of Prarie, hoping to use themselves as grunts while she made her escape. It was then that Model X flew over to them and lent its power and armor to help them combat the deadly mechaniloid.

Turmoils that Followed

After being accepted into the Guardians through a test run, Vent and Aile have been informed of the sudden whereabouts of the remaining four. Serpent, President of the Energy company known as Slither Inc. had been hiding a plot to revive Model W through the collecting of the Biometals. He split the four Biometals in half and weld them into regenerating reploids called "Psuedoroids", using them to up their abilities in gathering enough necessities to reawaken the deadly metal.

Enraged, the two set off after Serpent only to nearly get bashed by a possessed Giro, who ran after them in an attempt to calm them down. Both Model X and Z were worn out by the end of the battle, making Serpent and his two "henchmen", Prometheus and Pandora's access to their password abstraction a lot easier.

The heavy blow of losing both Model X's powers and Giro's life made the twins think twice about their actions. But in losing those of importance, they managed to gain new power when the dying Giro gave Model Z permission to combine its powers with Model X to form a new, more powerful being: Model ZX.

Using this new power, the twins managed to recover both the four Biometals: F, L, H, and P, as well as a mysterious metal, O, their passwords and managed to infiltrate the base where Model W is being resurrected.

By then, it was too late. Serpent had succeeded in gathering enough terrified Spiritual Cyber Elves to feed to Model W and awaken it to nearly half its power. Vent's anger over what had been going on suddenly became another fuel source for Model W, causing him and Aile to watch in horror as it burst to life.

The two thought they had lost, but encouraging words from the six Biometals who had lent their powers to them gave them the power they need to take Model W and Serpent's company down for good. There was no word as to what happened to Model W since Vent and Aile were pulled from the explosion before it took out the building.

Biometal Duplication

The Biometals that helped quell Slither Inc. went their seperate ways, finding a place to replenish their power through the Elemental Civilizations that matched their source of energy. Model X and O stayed behind. Everyone knew X stayed because it still wanted to aide Vent and Aile, but no one had a clue why O stuck around, and no one bothered to look into it since it never talks.

15 years later, studies into duplicating the Biometals for use with other fighters had been underway. Model X didn't like the idea, but doesn't express it openly, knowing no one would heed its opinions. Vent and Aile felt they were the only ones who agreed with the Model and decided not to stick around to see if it actually worked, fearing they would have to fight their own friends should they go berserk.

After several grueling attempts, the first Biometal duplication of X had been made. Unlike the original, this one lacked certain, but unecessary features such as talking. The transfer was a success, however, many problems involving out of control power and lack of senses forced the scientists to rework the Biometal duplication to find what was causing these symptoms. Unfortunately, by the time they realized any problems, the person with the Biometal disappeared.

Prarie, shocked that she had let this happen in the first place, demanded the production be stopped immediately. Unfortunatly, word had already spread and other research facilities in several locations began the aggressive duplication of other Biometals, completely oblivious to the dangers exposed by those who tried before. It eventually lead to another deadly conflict involving people who had blindly taken control of the duplicated Biometals and those who want to stop the nightmare from spreding.

Vent and Aile were nowhere to be found....

Biometal Wars

The war would last for nearly half a century. Many Guardians, freelancing fighters and out of control Biometal wielders were killed during this time of turmoil. When all hope seemed to be lost, three reploids mysteriously appeared and took the onslaught with seldum worry over whether they could handle the battle on their own.

Prarie, who had been at the head of the battle, recognized these reploids as someone her sister knew many years ago: Axl, the sharpshooting freelancer; Layer, the vicious fencer; and Massimo, the Golden Behemoth. No one knew how or why they chose to show up at the most prime of battle, but they managed to drive back many of the possessed Copy Models to another location to lick their wounds.

Knowing they would return, the offered their aide to the Guardians and swore they'd stop the mistakes brought about by those who blindly let it happen.
