Story
It is a dark age for the race of androids known as Reploids. After the world was plagued with constant war, humanity has turned against them, and the one place in the world that rose up as a place of refuge and peace from the chaos, Neo Arcadia, now persecutes Reploids without justifiable cause. A young, prodigious scientist named Ciel has helped form a Resistance against Neo Arcadia, but they are sorely outmatched by its weaponry and manpower. In a desperate bid for survival, Ciel leads a team of comrades to a location thought to seal away a Reploid of legend known as Zero, chased by their enemies' forces. Though the losses on their side are high, her gamble pays off when she discovers the Reploid in stasis, but badly corroded and lifeless. Ciel uses the power of a new lifeform called a Cyber-Elf to restore Zero to his prime, and the Reploid springs to life anew. Despite cloudy memories from hibernation sickness, Zero saves Ciel from certain doom, and pledges to join her cause. However, there are some dark secrets Ciel has not told Zero about this new era he found himself awakened upon. In time, Zero will learn the real truths behind these ongoing battles, some of which may be beyond mortifying. But he is not alone: a friend of the past has also returned to aid the Reploid in his fight to liberate Reploid kind, in the form of a mysterious, prismatic sphere of light.
Zero now stands against a corrupt justice system that threatens to extinguish his whole race. He must summon the full might of his abilities and reclaim his mantle as a warrior of good... and a guardian to those in dire need of a savior.
