Well, I don't think I'll be using Shadowman as one of the Robot Masters, so I don't think that'll work. I don't even know what Crashman and Metalman's attacks are, so that definitely won't work, anyways, enjoy this chapter:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Outside Guardian HQ

"Well seeing as how the two of them are going to fight here, let's go get another area to fight in." Burnerman dashes off with Fefnir on his trail.

"That's fine with me." The two of them move a noticeable distance before Fefnir gets out his twin buster. "Are you working for Model W?"

"I'm only following Shademan's orders. I don't see a reason we should ally ourselves with Model W." Fefnir fires a blast at Burnerman, but Burnerman moves out of the way and dodges the attack.

"Looks like you like to play with fire as well. In that case, there's no way I can lose!" Burnerman flames come out of Burnerman's arm as he charges at Fefnir. Flames surround his body as he slams into Fefnir, burning his armor and buster.

He's too fast! "I'll rip you apart!" Fefnir separates his twin buster and starts to shoot rapidly around him, causing fire to burst everywhere. Burnerman tries to dodge the attack but one bullet hits him and Fefnir starts to focus his shots at the stunned Burnerman.

"This fight wasn't even much of a challenge." Fefnir puts away his twin buster. Guess I overestimated him.

"This isn't over yet!" Burnerman jumps into the air and uses his flames to keep him floating. Burnerman points his arms at Fefnir as they transform and flames come out. "Take this!"

He starts shooting a long wave at Fefnir as Fefnir uses his arm as a shield. The temperature is too high! I don't know how long I can keep this up. The flames start to surround Fefnir after he blocks it as Burnerman stops his attack.

"Heh, you're trapped now." Flames start to surround Burnerman. "Burning Jet!" I'll blast him out of the sky! Fefnir fires a charged shot as Burnerman begins to descend, but the flames absorb it and Burnerman continues.

"GO DOWN!" Fefnir continues shooting, but none of the attacks seem to even faze Burnerman. Burnerman descends, covering the whole area in flames and attacking Fefnir, destroying one of his twin busters.

"Hehehe, looks like you were nothing but talk after all." A bomb forms in Burnerman's hand as he throws it at Fefnir. Fefnir attempts to run, but Burnerman ignites it in mid-air, causing it to release a wave of flames in the area.

"What's the matter? Can't stand the heat?"

"I'll make you regret that!" Fefnir fires at Burnerman with his remaining buster but misses. I can't hit him. Why can't I hit him!? Burnerman transforms his hand into a flamethrower and fires at Fefnir.

It's no good, I can't dodge this! Fefnir gets hit by the stream of flames as Burnerman continues to attack.

"Heh, you don't stand a chance!" Burnerman stops attacking for a moment as the flames on his arms widen. "BURNING JET!"

Burnerman starts to move towards Fefnir but Fefnir stands still. Now's my only chance to attack, I need to time this right! Fefnri feels the heat of Burnerman's flames before he makes his move.

Fefnri sidesteps and grab onto Burnerman's side. "ARGH! LET GO!" Fefnir rams Burnerman against a tree and then gets out his buster. Before he could fire, Burnerman throws another bomb and ignites it. The bomb explodes on both of them, and this time Burnerman takes a bit of damage.

"That was a nice try, but nowhere near good enough to defeat me!" Burnerman jumps into the air as flames surround him.

"We'll just see about that!" Burnerman goes down as Fefnir jumps out of the way. The flames start to spread through the grass, burning Fefnir as Burnerman continues to laugh. I'm getting tired of this guy! I'll destroy him!

"Hahaha! I haven't had this much fun in a long time." Another bomb appears in Burnerman's hand as he prepares to throw it. "What!?"

The bomb explodes on Burnerman at close range, knocking him back and damaging even him. Fefnir points his buster at Burnerman again and fires. "Have you forgotten that I could also use flames?/i

"This isn't over yet!" Burnerman activates his flames to float into the sky. "I'll burn you and this whole place down!" Burnerman points his flamethrower at Fefnir again.

"That isn't going to work on me again!" Fefnir jumps into the air and fires his buster on the ground to give himself more propulsion. He reaches Burnerman as he starts his flame attack.

"I have resistance to heat as well!" Fefnir goes through the flames and grabs onto Burnerman. He throws Burnerman down to the ground and dives after him. Fefnir's right hand starts to glow as he moves down, but Burnerman manages to move out of the way before the attack hits.

I almost had him that time! Guess this is going to take longer than I thought. Fefnir attempts to grab Burnerman, but Burnerman dashes through him with a Burning Jet attack. "GAH! That's it!" Fefnir slams the ground with his fist, causing the ground to shake and making Burnerman lose his balance.

Fefnir grabs onto Burnerman and tosses him in the air. He grabs onto him again and slams him into the ground. Fefnir prepares to attack again, but Burnerman lets loose a flamethrower in his face, knocking him back again.

"I've had enough of playing around!" Burnerman absorbs all the flames in the area as it surrounds him. "Let's see you try to stand up again after this attack!" Burnerman dashes at Fefnir, but Fefnir manages to side step the attack.

"Is that all!?" Fefnir looks behind him and sees Burnerman charging at him again. The attack hits, knocking him down. Burnerman repeats this three more times, each time hitting Fefnir, before stopping.

"It looks like this is over." Burnerman flames come out of Burnerman's arm as he raises it up. The flames become more focused, forming a burning blade. "Now prepare to meet your doom!"

Fefnir manages to dodge the attack but stops upon landing. My legs are too exhausted to move. I think he might have burned a part of my circuits. I won't let him win! Burnerman turns toward Fefnir again as he points the tip of his blade to Fefnir's neck.

"There's nowhere else to run this time, you've backed yourself into a corner." Burnerman raises the blade up, but it starts to wither and completely disappears before disappearing completely. The flames around him start to die out as well. "What!? Out of energy already!? This can't be good."

Fefnir takes his chance and shoots Burnerman with his buster and supporting himself to stand up. "I'll be the one destroying you!"

"Guess I'll take my leave now. Today, you just got very lucky. The next time we meet, I will destroy you!" Burnerman warps out of the area, leaving Fefnir by himself. Well, I guess I better go search for the others.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, you're back. Where's Yuriskah?" Shademan looks to see Burnerman without any of his flames. "I take it that you've used up all your energy…"

"I was one second away from destroying that guy. This won't happen again!" Burnerman then turns to Plantman. "This didn't happen to you in your battle!"

"That's because I was smart and used the energy from the plants. You just wasted all of yours on fancy attacks and look where that got you."

"Why you!" Shademan steps in to stop the bickering of Plantman and Burnerman.

"Enough! That's the reason why we need the Ciel System. We need a lot of energy to function, more than those reploids. Once we have that in our hands we'll be able to wreak havoc!" Shademan looks at Burnerman again. "So how was the break in?"

"Yuriskah and I have already got all the data we need for the Ciel System, but were held back by some reploids. I was fighting one of them before I ran out of energy, I'm sure that Yuriskah will be here soon."

"Lord Shademan, are you sure than we can trust Yuriskah?" Plantman had his doubts about him. "He could betray us any time he wishes to the Guardians."

"I doubt it. If he wanted to work with the Guardians, he would've asked them for help instead of taking the trouble to bring us back. Besides, he's planning to cut off all contact with us as soon as he fulfills his part of the bargain and brings us the Ciel System."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Guardian HQ

"There are so many injured Guardians here." X helps a Guardian up. "The wounds are still fresh, who could've caused this?" Just then a familiar figure appears. "Phantom!?"

"I have no obligation or interest in fighting any of you. Get out of here and let me continue with my duty." Harpuia and Leviathan stand in front of X.

"Is this your duty, to bring about destruction? You were a reploid made to fight for humanity. How could you do this?" Harpuia gets out his blade and it meets Phantom's. He's a lot stronger than he is before!

"All those who don't accept Model W as their leader will be destroyed." Phantom starts to fade away as he passes through the floor. "You shouldn't be worried about me right now. You should go and help the chosen ones. They're fighting Prometheus and Pandora right now."

"Vent and Aile are in trouble, split up and look." Harpuia and Leviathan nod as Ciel looks forward. "You can come with me, Ciel, but run away if things get too dangerous." Ciel nods as X continues thinking. They were barely able to beat Prometheus and Pandora last time, I just hope that I'm not too late.

X carries Ciel as the two of them dash forward, searching for Vent and Aile.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The next fight will be Yuriskah and Zero, remember to read and review.
