Megaman ZX Omega REWRITE

Me: Okay, I am back people!

Maria: And why am I here?

Me: Because this chapter is coming from your P.O.V.

Maria: Why?

Me: Because I'm going to introduce your limit break, Fallen Angel! Why? Because I just finished reading DarkShiftRising's fic, and Dovan Gates left me wanting to murder something! So now that I've got into the mood, I'm going to take it out on some raider sap in this fic! Thanks for the inspiration Darkshift!

Maria: ...O.o...right...BladeofMoonlight does not own Megaman ZX...

Chapter 3

/Maria's P.O.V. (during the raid on Heliopolis)

I slowed to a stop, breathless from my run through the archeology site. Thank goodness this place was a maze, or those raiders would have caught me for sure.

"Aaron, I trust you've gotten the data with you?"

I froze. Following the voice lead me through the tunnels and into the pit. Down there...

My father was standing among a group of big-shot raiders with flashy uniforms, holding a handful of data sticks. What was going on?

"I must say, I'm surprised you've gone through with this." One of the raiders remarked. "You and your friends have been resisting us for so long, I thought you'd never give up! I understand, of course. Fighting like this can be quite exhausting."

"Yes." Aaron said quietly. "I've brought you what you wanted."

"And Melody?" The raider inquired. "I'd be very surprised if she agreed to such an arrangement."

I took a sharp intake of breath. What was going on? What did it have to do with mom?

"She wouldn't." Aaron nodded in agreement. "But don't worry, she won't interfere."

"Then we shall have the biometal soon, with her out of the way."

My eyes widened. Out of the way? I didn't have to be a genius to know that there was something seriously wrong going on. I turned to leave, to run away and get help, when I came face to face with a cat Mutos reploid. He grabbed me roughly and dragged me down into the pit, ignoring my yelps of pain.

"Sir, I found this one watching us." The cat said in a low, growling tone of voice. I hit the ground, painfully. I pulled myself onto my knees and looked up. My father deliberately avoided my gaze.

"Dad...what's going on?" I murmured. "Why are you will these...people?" I would have used a much dirtier word if those raiders hadn't been right in front of me.

"If I were you, young lady, I'd mind my tongue." The lead raider snapped.

"What do we do with her, boss?" One of the flunkies asked.

"Take her." He ordered. "She's seen too much."

They grabbed my arms and dragged me with them, moving away towards a chopper.

"What's going on?" I demanded. I don't go down easy. "What do you want?"

"Why don't you ask our researcher?" The Mutos hissed, smirking. "He's the one who collected the data for us."

I twisted my head and glared at my father. "What's happening, dad? Why are you working for raiders?"

"They approached me ten years ago." Aaron started, his voice soft. "They claimed they were working on a...fallback plan of sorts, if Model W was destroyed. I pretended I didn't understand, but they were insistent. 'It's the Model O you are researching. We need its power to realize our vision' They told me of the utopia earth they intended to create. It was wonderful...to think this decaying world we live in could be molded into something so beautiful. I gave them my services, but Melody did not trust them. We argued and fought and she broke away from me, and fought to keep you and your brother with her."

My brother. Neo. My brain spun. Not a day went by without me thinking about him.

"In the end, I managed to save you and bring you with me. I swore that when the research was complete, I would return to Heliopolis and save Neo too."

"Save us?" I cried, maddened. "Aaron Light, which planet do you live on? These people are criminals and murderers! Do you know how many people they've killed in the name of this sick little 'game of destiny?' The world they want isn't a utopia! It's hell!"

I felt a heavy blow on my head, but I ignored the pain, about to fire off more of my anger when the doors of the chopper opened. Another girl was standing in the doorway. My eyes widened in shock and disgust.

Her brown hair was matted and dirty, and she was wearing a red top and pants that had most certainty seen better days, covered in dried blood and mud. She had...wings...that were also ragged and wounded. Her otherwise beautiful blue eyes were dull and lifeless. There were heavy iron shackles around both her wrists.

I wasn't stupid.

"You...!" There wasn't a word vile enough for these people. My entire body shook with rage as I beheld someone who was obviously a specimen of raider enslavement. "I knew you were trash, but this is low, even for you!"

The lead raider laughed. "Noble words from a noble fool, I suppose." He turned to the girl, who was still standing there, regarding me expressionlessly. "Iris...be a good girl and take her to the hold."

That girl-Iris-took a few steps towards me, before hesitating. She looked at me, and, strangely, I saw something in her eyes. A soft golden light. What was that? I searched deeper. Deep in her eyes, past that lifelessness I had seen, I could see several things: horror, grief, self-loathing, and, above all, fear. What was she afraid of?

That raider boss's eyes narrowed, obviously losing patients. "I said MOVE!" He took out a remote and pressed a button. Iris wailed in pain as a web on electricity locked down her body, causing her to collapse.

I had seen enough. "STOP!" There was a sudden explosion within me like a volcano in mid-erupt. An image flashed through my mind-Neo standing in a cathedral in Heliopolis, holding a small crimson biometal in one hand. Without thinking, I stretchered out my arm and put my hand on top of his. A new set of feelings rushed through me: Anger, wrath and...grief? Neo's feelings...My eyes watered. It can't be...Yet there was no other explanation. I was filled with despair and rage.

Scratch that.

Just rage.

"LIMIT BREAK!"

/Iris's P.O.V.

I had a nano-second to be surprised before hurricane-force winds pinned me to the ground. Crimson light filled my vision, and a whirlwind of power consumed the girl my tormentors had been holding seconds before. The air was so thick with energy it was like having your head being forcefully held underwater without taking a deep breath of air first. I heard the chopper's computer system go haywire moments before it was forced over the cliff by the sheer force of what was happening before me.

What's going on? I wondered.

"He...hehehehehe..." lifting my head ever so slightly, I saw the Mutos, forced against the rock, grinning like a maniac.

"She was...so angry..." He panted. "she...synchronized her thoughts with her brother's...even though they are on opposite sides of the planet...so consumed by rage...she skipped megamerge...and preformed the Limit Break..."

Limit Break? Wasn't that why I had used... My thoughts trailed off when I saw her.

Surrounded by a pillar of crimson light was Maria Light, in full armor. Something was different. Claws extended from her gauntlets, tightly gripping her saber, which was definitely not that long or wide under normal fusion circumstances, the same going for the other weapons at her waist. The blue crystal on her head was glowing, illuminating Model O's trademark symbol. And, strangest of all, she had wings...like mine...expect darker...

The demonic-looking Megaman took to the sky and pulled out her buster, which split into two. I squeaked, but things just got more hectic.

Twin beams of crimson light erupted from those guns, slicing into the ground in a criss-cross manner. Then they vanished, the ground exploded so violently the force along knocked me out.

/Area unknown

I blinked, dizzy, and tried to stand up and regain my footing, while processing everything I had just seen. Something told me to turn around. My eyes widened proper anime style at what I saw.

The entire canyon archeology site had a huge crimson hole blown in the side of it, eating up ten million tones of stone. The blast had thrown me a good 100 miles away.

I promised myself then and there that I would never, ever make Maria mad.

Then I ran off. Hopefully the raiders would be too overwhelmed by the explosion to realize I was gone, and I could sneak off and find some way to get these shackles off, to save myself from being used any longer. I'd go back for my friends when I was stronger.

While I ran, I wondered point-blank if Maria would help me. I shook it off. She clearly had more important things to worry about.

/Maria's P.O.V.

I panted, feeling the energy of the Fallen Angel fading away. "Ferals division...how dare you..." I gritted my teeth, and then let out a feral roar that echoed through the empty site. Breathless, I began to run towards the city.

I didn't know exactly what I was doing. Then it occurred to me.

Neo.

I had to find him.

End chapter

/Author's Note: Wow. I NEVER want to cross Maria when she's that pissed off. The Fallen Angel's attack is biased of Red Joker's Red Gaia Eraser, for all you Megaman nerds out there (like myself). Oh, and about Iris, she was captured by raiders on her return to earth. That's all I can say without spoiling anything in ZX Archangel. She won't be in the next few chapters.

Oh, and I've changed something. Neo and Maria cannot hold their Limit Break modes for very long, more like five-ten minuets.

Please R&R!
