Megaman XZ: battle of light

Zero marched through the ruins of a once great city; he held the Z saber in his hand keeping vigilante of the supposed Maverick in the location. He felt odd being back in his original body something didn't feel right but he assumed he would get used to it. He stopped for a moment hoping to remember some of his old tricks. He focused for a moment and the Z buster appeared "ah I remember you…" he charged up some energy and fired at a ruin building blowing it to pieces. "good thing Omega didn't have access to this..", After searching for hours he decided to contact X and see how his mission was going, "X, how's things going on your end?" after a few seconds of static he was answered "I'm all finished, I battled a Maverick by the name of G he put up quite a fight but I managed to stop him". "Well I haven't seen anything here, no a trace that CX's troops have been here" he was going to say more when he heard laughter coming from all around. "X… I gotta go, I found my Maverick, Zero out". He looked around but saw nothing. Then a familiar enemy appeared in front of him from the shadows, "hello Zero, long time no see". Zero was shocked at what he saw "ugh Phantom… I guess I have to retire you once again" Zero reached back with his right hand to draw his saber off its case on his back but found it was missing. "Looking for this?" phantom was tossing the Z saber in the air and catching it. "They don't call me the master of stealth for nothing" Phantom activated the weapon and got into its battle stance, holding the saber out in front of him. "Now Zero, you have nothing to defend yourself with what shall you do!". Zero grinned "oh you're strongly mistaken, I'm different now. I have what I lost long ago. And I can tell you two have changed, you didn't talk so much last time". He reactivated the buster and fired three shots at his opponent but Phantom stopped them all with the saber. "You're correct I have changed. Before I was merely a tool of death much like you, but now I've become Master X's equal. I control all the armed forces and in return, I have my own unit overseeing the Pantheons, iv also been upgraded to draw out my true power" Phantom chuckled "oh and yes there is that other thing… would you like to hear about it." Zero shook his head "you talk too much" he charged the buster half way and fired phantom easily avoided the attack and launched at Zero slashing with great speed, but not fast enough to hit the red hunter, Zero fired multiple blasts but Phantom blocked them all "it would appear…that we are at a draw. I will not deny that you are a great warrior. Much more powerful then even Master X but Iv become more then that". Phantom leapt onto the ruins of a building and stuck the Z saber into it "now I will show you my true power". He raised his arms and a burst of light emitted from his body, when it cleared he was donning new armor. It was black and dark red with small wings protruding from his back, helmet and his wrists very similar to that of Copy X's. Zero could sense the massive increase in his power. "Not good" he whispered to himself. Phantom smirked and grabbed the Z saber in his left hand and summoned and new light blue beam saber in the other. "Now God of destruction prepare to meet your end" he jumped off the building and flew at Zero once again, Zero charged the buster to its max and fired, but it did nothing to stop the warrior. When phantom got half way to Zero he vanished in an instant. "Ugh what the?" Zero looked around to find him but was hit from behind by the saber sending him flying through a building but seconds before he hit the ground Phantom stuck again. Knocking him sky high, Zero was growing irritated by Phantom and charged the buster once more waiting for the ninja. When he appeared Zero swiftly grabbed hold of him and blasted directly into his chest. Phantom fell straight into the earth leaving a large crater. Zero walls slid down to get a softer landing and dashed to were Phantom fell snatching up his saber. "I won't allow you to leave this place Phantom." He aimed the buster and fired dozens of charged shots into the pit. When the smoke cleared he saw phantoms body ripped apart. "Maverick retired returning to base…" he teleported out to recover from his injuries. But little did he know this battle was far from finished… Zero stepped into the base, Ceil still hadn't been informed of his awakening and he thought best to let her know so she wouldn't worry but he needed to inform X of Phantom's return and that the other guardians may also be back. At one point they were his allies against Omega and Weil but something had definitely changed with Phantom he talked way more than he had last time they met and something else he couldn't quite figure out. Zero went and found X "hey buddy, your former colleagues have come back from the dead." He could see the confused look on his friends face. "The Maverick signal was Hidden Phantom; I believe CX has tampered with his processing systems to keep him from defying him. And the way he fought was strange and reckless". X rubbed his chin "I wouldn't know I've never fought him before but your right he does seem to be acting strange, the maverick signal and all shouldn't have radiated from him".

Copy X sat on his throne one leg over the other "good work Phantom, soon he will be ours to control" phantom entered the room repaired from his battle with Zero. "What do you mean sir, iv failed my mission" the copy shook his head "no now I know what power lies dormant in the body of Omega…"
