It all started within Battle Tower. Verde looked around the main floor. Glaring at bulky machines, the room felt empty. "You call these machines?" Verde asked. "Yes, what's wrong with them?" Nero asked. "Their outdated in my eyes!" Verde chided. "Calm down, I'm sure we can update." Rosso said. "Update, are you sure that you could do that?" Verde asked. "We aren't mechanics, so there isn't anything we can do." Nero said. "I can't believe it, this place is well hidden and yet it doesn't have protection!" Verde yelled. "Please calm down Verde, can you help with this?" Rosso asked. "Fine, just give me time to work on these machines." Verde said. "Should we leave you alone?" Rosso asked. "Yes, wait outside, this will be quick." Verde ordered. "How big is this renovation?" Nero asked. "I already told you, now then, (Verde pushed Rosso and Nero out of the tower. He then moved his head towards Blu) will you leave?" Verde asked. (He heard the pounding footsteps of Blu towards the exit. The door closed, Verde looked at his book) "Now with everyone gone, it's time to put this book to work." Verde thought.
Outside, Nero looked up to the tower) "Raise of hands if he's going to blow up the tower." Nero said. "Have no idea." Rosso said. (Nero saw Rosso sitting on Blu's shoulder) "Rosso, get off of Blu!" Nero ordered. "No, I want to see what Verde's up too." Rosso explained. "How did you meet with him?" Nero asked. "We just met at a fountain, Verde told me that he found the place during the migration." Rosso explained. "Migration, the monarch one?" Nero asked. "Yeah, I just had a talk and you contacted me." Rosso explained. "Nero, (Blu pointed to the tower. Now it was pure white) the tower is glowing." Blu said. (Nero and Rosso looked at the tower as everything turned white.
The light dimmed down to reveal everything as normal. The three rushed inside to see Verde, book in hand) "Hello Nero, I'm glad I used that light." Verde said. "What was it all about?" Nero asked. "I wanted to scan the place." Verde said. "Scan, for repairs?" Nero asked. "Yes, I've found a good spot to fix the place up." Verde said. (He went deeper in the room to enter into the elevator. Nero, Rosso, and Blu squeezed into the elevator shaft) "Too, tight!" Verde yelled. "We should open it up to widen it up." Nero said. "Blu, your too big!" Rosso yelled. "Stop Rosso, your squirming is painful!" Nero yelled. (The elevator began to go up.
Now on the 7000th floor, the four escaped from the elevator. There was a dark grey hallway with light blue lines. Two doors were present. One was a small door on the right side. The other was at the end of the hallway. It was big with a light blue diamond) "This is where we fight against each other." Rosso explained. "Against each other, how come there isn't anything else to practice with?" Verde asked. "We don't have anything to help with this." Nero explained. "Well then, let's take a look around." Verde said. (Nero walked to the big door and it opened up.
Inside, the room was a huge cylinder shape with a glass window up above. Verde looked at around) "Looks like I need to do some technology upgrades." Verde said. "Upgrades, for where?" Nero asked. (The green Reploid pointed to the window) "That room wasn't used for a long time." Rosso said. "May I take a look at it?" Verde asked. (Nero nodded before walking off. He went into the hallway and opened the other door. Verde followed and he saw stairs leading up.
Upstairs, Verde and Nero saw another door and it opened up. The room was small with machines and the window. Verde looked outside to see Rosso and Blu looking at them) "These machines, so outdated and can't work, any ideas, Verde?" Nero asked. "Yes, (Verde took off a part of the machine. He looked upon his book and flipped through the pages) you want this to be a battle simulator?" Verde asked. "Yes, that would sound great." Nero said. "Alright then, I'll get to work." Verde said. (He pushed Nero out of the room and closed the door. The green Reploid began to work.
After a while, Verde went to see Nero, Rosso, and Blu. They noticed the green Reploid and Nero went forward) "How did it go?" Nero asked. "Perfect, now who wants to fight?" Verde asked. "I'll go, Rosso, Blu, go with Verde." Nero ordered. (Both the phoenix and bulky Reploid ran out of the room. Verde followed) "Be careful Nero." Verde sighed. "Don't worry, (Nero pulled out his blade) begin this fight." Nero dared. (Verde ran out of the room to the small room. Nero saw the trio. Rosso waved with a smile. Verde began to press buttons and a bigger button glowed. The green Reploid pressed it and caused the bigger room to glow.
Nero looked around to see himself in a black room. Yellow blobs went flying and Nero ducked under some. One hit him while crouching. The blobs formed the Yellow Devil. It opened it's eye and fired a beam. Nero jumped and threw his blade. It hit the Yellow Devil's eye and it turned into blobs. Nero's blade fell to the ground. The blobs moved to the other side. Nero dashed through the blobs and grabbed his blade. The Yellow Devil reformed and fired at Nero. Nero moved away and threw his blade. It hit the Yellow Devil's eye and it exploded. The blobs went flying and some covered Nero. Without him knowing, the whole place turned back to normal. Nero looked around, the blobs were gone. The door opened up to Verde, Rosso, and Blu) "Are you alright Nero?" Verde asked. "Yes, that was easy." Nero said. "Well, it was a test run, don't worry, there are more dangerous Mavericks." Verde said. "Where did the blob thing go?" Nero asked. "It was a hologram, it's a type of technology that I'm working on." Verde explained. "I hope you upgrade it, that was pathetic!" Nero chided. "Hey, you know how long it took to make this?" Verde asked. (He slammed his staff onto Nero's head. Rosso walked forward with Nero's blade in hand) "Need this Nero?" Rosso asked. "Yes, (Nero grabbed his blade, all while not looking at the phoenix) it's already getting late, if anyone needs me, I'll be at my room." Nero sighed. (He walked off with Verde aiming his staff at Nero. Rosso grabbed Verde's arms) "Hey, he wasn't satisfied with your choice." Rosso explained. "Fine, I'll just work on this, don't bother me." Verde ordered. (He went off, Blu came down the steps. Verde moved sideways to get in the stairway. Blu walked to Rosso) "Should we practice by fighting each other?" Blu asked. "Sure." Rosso said. (Both the phoenix and Blu ran off. Verde looked from the window) "I'll be much better then before." Verde muttered.
Outside of the tower, Blu raised water up. Rosso jumped over it and threw a fireball. It hit Blu, but did nothing) "Is that all you've got?" Blu asked. "Yeah, I'm still learning, but, do you think I deserve to be here?" Rosso asked. (Blu lowered his trident) "What are you saying?" Blu asked. "I feel like a fish out of water, Nero, you, and Verde know your skills." Rosso answered. "And you say that your not one of us?" Blu asked. "Yes, I don't feel good, (Rosso looked away) I don't belong here." Rosso muttered. "Rosso, (The phoenix looked at Blu) the Fish Gods don't like your self pity." Blu said. "Life's just hard for me." Rosso said. "Talk to Nero, we don't want a repeat of what happened last time." Blu said. "Last time, when you said that I went Maverick?" Rosso asked. "Yes, now go talk to him." Blu ordered. "Alright." Rosso sighed. (He walked back into Battle Tower.
Up on the elevator, Rosso became silent. He remembered when Nero and him first met Blu. Nero was so calm. The elevator stopped on the 7000th floor. Rosso stopped the elevator and went into the hallway. He went into the small room and saw Verde. Near him was the data pearl from the sunken city. The green Reploid turned around to see the phoenix) "Rosso, I'm surprised that you came." Verde said. "I wanted to see how you were doing on the machine." Rosso said. "Well, it's done now, this time there aren't any bugs." Verde said. "What's the strongest on there?" Rosso asked. "Why do you ask?" Verde asked. "I want to fight it alone." Rosso said. "Are you mad, I'm not going to risk your health!" Verde yelled. "Do it Verde, I want to be strong for Nero." Rosso begged. "No, I cannot allow that!" Verde yelled. "Verde, I can do it, just start the simulator!" Rosso snarled. (Verde looked at the controls) "I can just rebuild his armor." Verde thought. (He pressed buttons) "Go in the simulator." Verde said. (Rosso nodded and ran off) "The hardest, I know, it's not going to be pretty." Verde thought.
Rosso went into the training room and saw it transforming. A holographic figure appeared in the form of Kaiser Sigma. It began to fire missiles at Rosso. The phoenix dashed and punched a leg. It did no damage and Sigma fired a laser at Rosso. The phoenix moved in pain and the laser stopped. Sigma fired mines and they hit Rosso. The phoenix Reploid was on the ground as more missiles hit him. Verde looked upon a switch with END. Rosso screamed as Sigma grabbed him. Verde was about to press the switch. Another black hand pressed the button instead. The Sigma hologram disappeared and Rosso fell to the ground. Verde looked to see Nero glaring at him) "Hello Nero, how are you doing?" Verde asked. (The window opened up. Nero looked to see Rosso injured. The phoenix looked at Nero with dropped eyes) "Rosso, Verde, I expect the both of you to be in my room on Floor 8990." Nero demanded. (He walked out of the room, with Verde looking at Nero.
Verde dragged Rosso to the elevator. The Reploids got insied and it began to go up) "Rosso, this is all your fault!" Verde chided. "Sorry, but I just feel tired." Rosso sighed. "You will be the one to explain what happened!" Verde yelled. (Rosso looked away as the elevator made it to Floor 8900.
Both the green and orange Reploids saw Nero cleaning his sword. He stopped as Verde and Rosso went into the room) "Sorry for what happened Nero, I just wanted to be stronger." Rosso explained. "Again, (Nero sighed before stopping his blade cleaning. Getting up, he glared at Rosso and Verde) I understand that Rosso, your pushing yourself." Nero said. "Should I wait outside?" Verde asked. "Yes, but don't leave the hallway to my room." Nero ordered. "Yes Nero." Verde said. (He ran off into the hallway. Rosso looked at a concerned Nero) "Are you angry at me?" Rosso asked. "Yes, for being reckless and not thinking twice." Nero explained. (Rosso fell to his knees, looking at the ground. Nero had hand onto Rosso's crown. The phoenix looked up to Nero) "I'm sorry, I don't deserve to be with skilled people!" Rosso sobbed. "Rosso, (Nero patted Rosso's head) we faced the mistakes, we just have to learn from them." Nero soothed. (The phoenix Reploid shut his eyes, feeling an urge to cry) "What can I do to be stronger?" Rosso asked. "Climb the ladder, one step at a time." Nero answered. "How can I do it without pushing myself?" Rosso asked. (Nero paused and looked down at Rosso) "Take signs of your feelings after fights, rest when you can't keep going." Nero answered. "Nero, (Rosso noticed the black armored Reploid walking away to his blade. Nero began to polish it) I'm sorry that you wasted your time." Rosso sobbed. "There's nothing to be sorry about, we all deal with problems." Nero explained. "I'll wait for you on the roof." Rosso said. "What for?" Nero asked. "Verde's still waiting, he should get his turn." Rosso said. "Just rest, there's plenty of time for you to think." Nero explained. (Rosso walked out of the room. Verde walked in to see Nero, eyes closed and head pointing down) "Hello Nero, is Rosso okay?" Verde asked. (Nero sighed before placing his blade back. The black armored Reploid looked at Verde) "He's fine, but he's pushing himself too much." Nero explained. "I heard the whole thing, I thank you for complementing my skills." Verde thanked. "Your welcome, but Rosso's my main concern." Nero said. "I know, but are there any words you wish to tell me?" Verde asked. "Yes, the update of Battle Tower's battle simulator is just what we needed." Nero said. "I know that, but Rosso's damage is real, I was practicing to be our main security." Verde explained. "Interesting, it sounds good, but I have another thing to ask." Nero paused. "What is it?" Verde asked. "I want you to update our medical floor." Nero ordered. "How come?" Verde asked. "It's for Rosso, let me take you to the floor." Nero said. (He and Verde went out of the room.
On the medical floor, the two were in the scanning room. Verde looked around) "Not high tech I see." Verde sighed. "I know, but we need updates." Nero said. "I know, I could get to work." Verde said. "Wait, let me explain something, two months ago, Rosso acted strange." Nero explained. "How strange?" Verde asked. "He acted aggressive, tried to kill us and he didn't remember the event." Nero answered. "Any reason he forgot?" Verde asked. "We don't know, which is why we need your help." Nero explained. "I see, I'll begin my work." Verde said. (He looked upon the machines and looked at his book.
Many hours, both Nero and Verde looked upon the updated floor, 7490. The scanning room became smaller with walls in a shade of black. A metal table was in the center with locks for arms, legs, and waist. Glass was on the left to another room where the scans would become activated. Nero and Verde began to walk around the updated medical floor encircling the elevator) "Thank you Verde, I never thought you could do so much." Nero said. "Your welcome, but I'm doing this to make sure that I'll stay." Verde said. "What do you mean by that?" Nero asked. "An evil force tried to hunt me down, I escaped from the stars." Verde answered. "Don't worry, your safe here." Nero said. "Now it's time to see how Rosso is doing." Verde said. "That almost slipped my mind, wait here." Nero sighed. (He ran into the elevator and it began to go up. Verde looked at the windows of medical rooms.
The elevator moved down with Nero and Rosso inside. The door opened up and the two got out) "Ah, come this way Rosso." Verde said. (He grabbed Rosso's hand and escorted him to the scanning room)
"Verde, is this going to be okay?" Rosso asked. "Don't worry, (Verde began to attack the locks) remain calm, it will be a few seconds." Verde soothed. (He walked out of the room and locked the door. Verde ran to the room next to the scan room. It was small with many monitors, a big button, and a window. Verde pressed the button. Green lights flooded the scan room. The many monitors showed a wire frame Rosso though many angles. One of them started blinking on Rosso's forehead. Verde saw Nero walking in. His eyes focused on the monitors) "Have an idea on what happened?" Nero asked. "Yes, (Verde pointed to Rosso's forehead on a screen) something's emitting an unusual force." Verde said. "It's great you found the source." Nero cheered. "Right, we have to take Rosso to get his mechanics checked." Verde said. (He pressed another button to stop the green lights. The two Reploids went into the other room and Verde unlocked Rosso) "So how am I?" Rosso asked. "Your fine, but we have to do some surgery." Verde said. "What are you talking about?" Rosso asked. "There's the monitors spotted something (Verde poked Rosso's green gem) within there." Verde explained. "Will it change me as a person?" Rosso asked. "I'm not sure, but Verde knows what to do." Nero said. "Of course, now then, let's go to get your mechanics checked." Verde said. (He grabbed Rosso's hand and walked out of the room.
In a room, an concussions Rosso was on another metal table. The room was white with medical equipment) "Can I help you in any way?" Nero asked. "No, I know what to do, but I have something you need." Verde said. (He opened up a part of Rosso's forehead and grabbed out a glowing chip) "That's Rosso's soul!" Nero yelled. "Yes, and that's what I wanted to know." Verde said. (He gave it to Nero) "How come?" Nero asked. "In case anything goes wrong, now wait outside." Verde said. (Nero walked out of the room and closed the doors. Verde looked at Rosso's body) "Time to get to work." Verde thought.
(On the roof, Nero leaned on one of the four towers. He looked upon the red glowing data chip) "Rosso, I'm sorry." Nero muttered. (He began to hear footsteps. Gripping his sword's handle, the black armored Reploid saw Blu) "Nero, what are you doing here by yourself?" Blu asked. "Well, (Nero sighed before letting go of his sword's handle). Rosso's getting checked by Verde, I'm nervous about it." Nero explained. "Remain calm Nero, Rosso will make it, in the name of fish." Blu said. "Thanks Blu, (Nero revealed the data chip and looked at it) do that for me." Nero sighed. (He heard Blu's footsteps heading back down) "I wonder where he's going." Nero thought.
(After a while, Nero was sitting, leaning behind a wall. He held onto Rosso's data chip, glowing a bright red. Nero rubbed his fingers onto the data chip. It was just like before. Nero remembered when he broke the apartment window. Meting Lavoro for the first time. The black armored Reploid fell asleep, dreaming of that day.
A door opened up and Verde went out. He looked around. No sign of Nero. The green armored Reploid sighed before walking around. In the corner of the Reploid's eye, Verde saw Blu in the elevator. It went down and Verde waited. The elevator went up without Blu. Verde went inside and it went down) "Where could Nero be?" Verde thought. (He looked around before stopping the elevator. Blu was down the hall) "Blu, Blu!" Verde yelled. (Blu stopped and turned around to see Verde) "What do you want?" Blu asked. "I want to find where Nero is." Verde said. "I saw him on the roof." Blu said. "Oh, thanks, I want to tell him the good news." Verde said. (He ran off in a flash.
On the roof, Verde looked around. No sign of Nero. Verde sighed and ran off downstairs. He kept running around, passing by Blu many times. With elevator rides, Verde rushed into Nero's room. His presence was gone. Verde screamed, his staff was spinning and wind rushed around the tower. Blu found Nero sleeping. The bulky Reploid heard Verde scream, Nero was still asleep. Blu raised his trident and formed a bubble filled with water. He threw it and it splashed onto Nero's face. The Reploid woke up, wiping his face. Nero glared at Blu) "Blu, what are you doing?" Nero asked. "Verde's after your head." Blu explained. "What?" Nero asked. (They both felt wind and a tornado consumed Nero. The black armored Reploid spun around, almost dropping the data chip. Nero flew around before getting into the elevator. Blu watched in silence) "He's dead, Fish Gods, aid us in Verde's rage." Blu chanted.
Verde glared at the tornado, Nero spun around before hitting the ground. Data chip was bouncing. Verde grabbed onto Nero's collar) "Where were you this whole time?" Verde yelled. "I was sleeping, Blu woke me up!" Nero yelled. "I went all around this place and couldn't find you!" Verde yelled. (Nero noticed the data chip and kicked Verde. The green Reploid dropped the black armored Reploid. Nero picked up Rosso's data chip) "Sorry, I didn't know how long it would be." Nero apologized. "Alright, now that I found you, I need Rosso's data chip." Verde said. "You helped him?" Nero asked. "Yes, now let me show you what I found." Verde said. (The two went out of Nero's room.
In the medical room, Rosso was still on the table. His crown removed to reveal inner mechanics. Nero looked at Rosso's face. Verde grabbed onto a chip and showed it to Nero) "I found the source." Verde said. (He dropped the chip to Nero's fingers. Nero examined it to see a big yellow W) "Where do you believe it came from?" Nero asked. "No idea, but Rosso's systems were well integrated with that chip." Verde said. "You believe it came from Rosso this whole time?" Nero asked. "Yes, but the problem's over." Verde said. "Could there be more signs that could cause this again?" Nero asked. "I searched all over the systems for it wouldn't happen ever again." Verde explained. "How long will it be till Rosso wakes up?" Nero asked. "It'll be quick, I just have to put the chip and the crown back." Verde explained. (Nero gave Verde Rosso's data chip) "Be careful with that." Nero whispered. "I know how it feels." Verde said. (He inserted the chip into Rosso's forehead. Rosso's body began to shake. Verde placed the crown back with a snap. The two moved back as Rosso got up) "Ugh, my head." Rosso moaned. (He opened his eyes and saw Verde and Nero) "How do you feel?" Verde asked. "Fine, what happened with me?" Rosso asked. "I found the source, (Verde revealed the W chip) this caused it." Verde explained. (Rosso glared at the chip) "Have any ideas why it made me turn Maverick?" Rosso asked. "Not yet, I just removed it." Verde said. "I feel tired." Rosso moaned. "Oh, it's just a side effect of doing something like this." Verde said. "Rosso, you want to go to bed?" Nero asked. "That sounds nice." Rosso yawned. "Okay then, (Nero picked Rosso up, having problems from Rosso's forearms. Rosso fell asleep afterwards) good night Rosso." Nero soothed. (He walked out with Rosso.
Hours passed, in the medical room, Verde was examining the W chip. He stopped as footsteps emitted in the hallway. Grabbing his staff, Verde turned around from his swivel chair. He glared at the hallway to find Nero) "Nero, I didn't expect to see you." Verde said. "Sorry that I alarmed you to a false danger." Nero apologized. "Is Rosso still sleeping?" Verde asked. "Yes, but that wasn't the main reason I came." Nero said. "Then what is?" Verde asked. "You see, I have another favor to ask." Nero sighed. "Another, what's wrong with you?" Verde asked. "Calm down, it's either this or get booted out and arrested." Verde thought. (He let out a sigh) "Sorry for that outburst, what do you want?" Verde cheered. "Since you came here, things have been more better." Nero said. "I noticed how empty the place is, only four of us live here." Verde said. "Yeah, it's kinda sad, but we have to be unknown." Nero said. "That's a good thing." Verde thought. "I have something to show you." Nero said. "What is it?" Verde asked. "A body, not a murder or anything, but a spare one." Nero said. "Let me see this body." Verde said. "Follow me." Nero said. (He and Verde walked out of the room. Verde locked the door before following Nero.
The two found themselves in a small room. There were three capsules, two opened, but one closed) "I wanted to check on how Rosso got his effect, but I found this." Nero paused. (He pressed a button in front of the capsule and it opened up. Verde's yellow eye widened as he saw the body. It was of a girl with a thin body, covered in a black suit with white, orange, and ivory. Her helmet's front was hair like. A blue upside down triangle was on the forehead. On the upper sides sides of her black head were two big lighting bolts. Verde looked at Nero) "You said that it's just a body, right?" Verde asked. "Yes, and I was wondering if you could help me find a soul." Nero explained. "Does it involving killing someone?" Verde asked. "No, we're going to do the same thing like Rosso." Nero said. "And you do it by?" Verde asked. "When I met Rosso, he died and I managed to get his data chip." Nero explained. "So how did Rosso get his body?" Verde asked. "I found his body here." Nero explained. "I get it now, so where can we find a data chip for the body?" Verde asked. "We travel through time." Nero said. "Time, we have a time machine, (Nero nodded with a smile on his face) show it to me, I want to see it!" Verde said. "Are you obsessed with time travel?" Nero asked. "No, I just heard so many things about it." Verde answered. "I see, well then, let's go back in time." Nero said.
(The two went to the machine with three screens. Nero stood on top of the platform and the screens turned on) "Any idea in which time to go through?" Verde asked. "There is one, with that pearl Blu gave us, one is the worst." Nero said. "What do you mean?" Verde asked. "A hundred years, there was Elf Wars, many people perished." Nero explained. "We're going to war?" Verde asked. "No, not that, just after the war ended." Nero said. "It better be." Verde muttered. (The time was set, Nero looked at Verde) "It's time we get going." Nero said. (He pressed a holographic button and the two became consumed in light.
