Prologue
As soon as Spirit Force arrived, Anna pulled up a holoscreen of the globe and took notice that most of the Earth is covered in Shadow.
"Damn, this is bad." Ace said grimly.
"I didn't think Gargos's forces would spread this far." Saaya said surprised.
"The sooner we can kick his ass the better." Kagura said punching her fist into her palm as the group heard a beep from the monitor.
"I'm receiving a call from Orchid, do you want me to patch you through?" Anna asked.
"Go ahead." Ace said as the screen flickered to show Orchid. "What's the situation Orchid?" He asked.
"The mimics have spread across the globe along with some of the villains working for Gargos I'm sending you their locations now, if each of you can tackle them all at once it'll greatly reduce Gargos's numbers when we finish off the rest of them." Orchid said as she typed on the computer at the Rebel Outpost.
Anna saw a notification on her monitor and opened it to see a list of locations that the mimics and villains are at.
"Good Luck, Spirit Force. I'll see you after Gargos is defeated." Orchid said as the connection cut off at her side.
"Alright, Anna patch through to David and the others. We better tell them the current situation were in." Ace said.
"Right, patching through now." Anna said trying to contact David and the others.
"David? Are you there? Do you copy?" Ace asked looking at the monitor.
"Ace? I heard from the others about what happened in that Earth from the Undead Universe. Are you… Holy castoley, what happened to your eye?!" David asked.
"I was careless trying to protect the girls and got cut across the face, luckily Stoj and Mari managed to heal me. Also, you're not gonna believe who I ran into." Ace said as he moved out of the way to show Minerva and Linde approaching.
"Minerva and Linde? I heard about you from Rinea. You two were among the strongest female warriors of Marth's time." David said.
"It is an honor, David Ishihara, but please no need for formalities. Treat us as if we're equals." Minerva said.
"Very well. Unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of time reactivating that Fulgore unit you brought us. We're a little busy here in the IGPX." David said.
"I see, I can have Mari replicate some rare materials and transport them to your location. Also, do you recognize this sword?" Ace asked as he held out the Omega Yato.
"The Omega Yato? That's… That's Corrin's blade!" David said.
"We were on this planet where there were ancient ruins, some of us had to go under different trials while we were there, you might notice familiar weapons some of us have which caused our appearances to change." Ace said as Al approached holding Cronus's Scythe, Stoj with Brynhildr, Jago with Raijinto and his original sword, Shin Hisako, Mari with the Aegis Shield, and Papelne with a beaststone.
"Weapons from the Fire Emblem worlds. You guys really have been busy." David said.
"Yes and the good news is, Hisako, Jago and Maya are free from the curses placed on them." Ace said happily.
"That's good to hear. That means they've been doing well." David said.
"Yeah, also Gargos has arrived and spread his mimics across the globe along with some of the villains." Ace said with a grim expression.
"You really need to stop giving that expression. It just doesn't suit you." David said.
"Sorry. Also, how are things?" Ace said. "How are you and Sectonia?" He asked winking.
David blushed at the statement. "Well, um… We've actually been doing really well. As strong as we've ever been." He said laughing nervously.
"It's alright if you don't have to tell me anything also there's something I want to show you." Ace said as he held out a small device. "Megamerge!" He exclaimed as he donned a familiar red reploids armor.
"That's Zero's armor! How did you…" David said.
"I found this at the ancient ruins as well after I fought someone called Omega Zero." Ace said as he reverted to his normal form.
"It's almost like Armatization." David said.
"In a way, yes, but I think this Biometal is based on this Omega person Leviathan mentioned." Ace said as he looked at the Biometal. "It's best I show you an image of what Omega looks like." He said sending an image of Omega Zero to David.
"Whoa…" David said.
"Apparently from what the four guardians told me, this was Omega when he possessed Zero's original body 100 years ago in their time." Ace said.
"So… Zero is going to be… No, it's best I don't let it out. I might end up telling him when I see him again." David said.
"Don't worry, they told me scientists from their time put Zero's soul in a copy of his body." Ace reassured.
"I see. Well, at least there's that." David said.
"You'll have to introduce me to Zero and X next time we meet." Ace said.
"That's gonna be tough. They went back to the Future Universe after the Ultron Sigma incident." David said. "Well, technically we're in the Future Universe, too, just not that far ahead."
"I'm sure me and my team will meet them sometime during our journey. We'll tell them you said hi." Ace said.
"Alright. Still, I can't believe I didn't come here sooner. Mechanized mechs, high-octane battle at over 300 miles per hour… If I didn't feel pain, I'd think I had died and gone to heaven!" David said. "S-sorry. Didn't mean for you to hear that."
"It's alright and be careful, Anna scanned your location and detected some suspicious activity." Ace said.
"We pretty much figured that out at first glance. We're just not sure as of what yet." David said.
"Alright good luck, me and the others are off to stop Gargos's plans." Ace said.
"If anyone can beat him, I know for a fact that it's you." David said.
"Thank you, David." Ace said as he held out his pendant and a peace sign as he smiled.
"Alright. See you around." David said.
Ace cut off the transmission and looked to Anna.
"I've got the warp points of the locations down so let me know when you're ready." Anna said as Ace nodded his head.
The final battle with the Shadow Lord is about to begin.
