The end is just the beginning!

Xero prepares for his final hours?

Soundtrack: Metro 2033 [OST] #28 - Don't Forget

"DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND SURRENDER! THIS IS YOUR FIRST AND FINAL WARNING!"

The bunch of soldiers stood around the semi-ruined building. They wore red metal armors. Each one of them held a photon sword and a polished diamond shield. A few seemed unstable, preparing to teleport. Those were the Spartan soldiers, the strongest human-cyborg soldiers of the military organization, MBORF.

Flying in the air above were humanoid golden droids, with jets on their hands, feet and back. They had no face expect two horizontal lines on their heads, using as sight sensors. They had claws on their back palms, which had also structured gun barrels inside. Those were the Fenixes, the strongest full-robot soldiers of MBORDF.

There were thousands of them.

Thousands against two people in the ruined house: a Japanese-looking old man, wearing wraps and a torn raincoat, and a gal aged maybe 16 or 18, wearing a revealing purple leotard and ninja shroud, with long black, bloodstained hair and black-red eyes without pupils or sclera.

The old man held a trigger button, and pressed it.

CRASH! Underground Nukes all around the house exploded. "OPEN FIRE!" shouted a soldier.

"…I've been fighting them for my entire life", said the old man, "but I can no longer do it. My body is decaying even as we speak. XV's virus will finally bring me down".

"You lasted longer than anyone else, master", said the girl deviously. "You must not mourn".

"I have no time to mourn or be mourned on. This will be my last fight before my demise. I will die here, in the heat of a glorious battle". As he said that, his warps mechanized themselves, turning into a high-tech armor suit.

"We both will, master" whispered the girl enthusiastically.

"No… not you, Kayleena. You will live on to destroy the blasphemy that MBORF created and called it order. I have entrusted you the remains of Omega's armor for that sole purpose".

"I understand, master".

The master coughed. "I've waited a long time… for this moment…"

"Will you be joining your friends again soon, master?"

"Friends?" the old man seemed surprised from the word. Then he smiled. "Yeah… I'll be meeting them finally tonight…"

And he didn't know how right he was…

Kayleena activated her own armor, made to Xero's likeness.

And the two lone survivors stormed into their first and last showdown.
