Immediately, Zero's went limp, his limbs robbed of strength. The light faded away quickly after, all threat diminished. With his control chip being directly accessed, his body shut down as a safety measure, leaving Zero's mind trapped in an unresponsive shell. Even the defiant look on his face ebbed away, replaced by a glassy, lifeless stare.
That was it, then. He had lost - he had nothing to fight back with anymore. Fallen into the hands of the enemy, his soul was now completely vulnerable to all of Eggman's machinations.
So in the end, that was how he was going out. No better than the puppets Weil had seized to do his bidding. Power always tempted the evil at heart. Perhaps this was the eventual fate of reploids like him, ones designed for war - this must have been why he was sealed away in the first place.
Zero couldn't help but think that it would've been better if he had simply been destroyed on re-entry.
Muttering to no one but himself, he half-closed his eyes and just this once, let despair overtake him - because soon, he was sure no part of him would remain. "I... failed..."
