Hey everyone! I'm sorry for not getting this up yesterday. I was pretty busy for it being Sunday. Anyway, as some of you may have guessed, we're reaching the ending of this story. I hope everyone is still enjoying it. I personally enjoy this chapter the most for some unknown reason. By the way, I didn't get the hits I was wanting again, so I won't be doing a sneak peek. If I get 100 hits on ANY chapter next week, I will reveal some things about the next fan fiction. Enjoy!
Me: I feel so relieved now!
Voice: Is that because your presentation is done?
Me: That's right. Now I get to focus...on...
Voice: What's wrong?
Me: YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHO WAS KIDNAPPED!
Voice: You might just find out!
Me: *Sigh*
Location: Sigma's Fortress-Level 3
Zero, X, and myself are transported to an area that looks like a sewer system with pipes everywhere and the walls has chrome finishes. What is with chromed finishes in this dimension? We hear an explosion from the distance which we all assumed was the room we just narrowly escaped from. Since there are no mavericks in sight, all of us sit down for some time to rest.
Me: Nice going, X. If you wouldn't have found that button, we would be dead now.
X: Thanks. To be honest, I almost didn't notice it out of the corner of my eye.
Zero: I think we have rested enough. Shall we continue?
X and I: Yes.
We jump up past several pipes and find half a dozen bats and a single torpedo launching tortoise maverick. I spawn electric swords using both gloves and phase behind the bats swinging both swords in the process. I notice that torpedoes are being shot from the tortoise and aimed at me. X shot those torpedoes down and Zero sliced the tortoise several times, which destroyed it. Behind the tortoise reveals a door.
Me: This leads to Armored Armadillo. Get ready just in case he is in the room.
Zero and X: Right.
We open the door and walk into the room. The room looks just like the previous room. As before, the door at the other wall was open and the maverick was there. Something suspicious is going on.
Me: We need to hurry up. I have a feeling that something very bad is going to happen soon.
We run to the next area. It actually seems like we are in an actual building since there weren't any pipes that could be seen. We jump from platform to platform only to slow by more bats and miner mavericks. I spawn a shield with my left glove and buster cannon with my right glove. I block attacks from the miners while X shoots the bats and Zero is running at the miners. X destroys the bats with ease and the miners are giving Zero a hard time. I shoot the miners' pickaxes away and that gives Zero the opening to finish each of them off. The door to the next area is just behind the miners. We rush in to find out that the room was empty like before and the door to the next area is open. We cross into the next area. This next area had a hole that lead down. More pipes are in this area as well as miner and mavericks on a wheel with spikes in front of it. I spawn two huge steel fists and slam them on the first pipe that I see. That broke the pipe loose from the wall and it fell down. It destroys all but one miner, but X quickly disposes of it with a quick buster shot. We find another door. We enter the room only to find another empty room and an opening to the next area. We see that the area is filled with water and take a rest.
X: Fech, how are you going to get past this?
Me: I don't know, but I'm getting kind of bored.
Zero: Bored? You do realize that our lives are on the line.
Me: I do, but I was expecting a little more of a challenge from Sigma since this is the last level until we reach him.
X: That's good to hear. He is going to pay for what he's done.
Me: I would finally get my answers...I have a way to get past this now!
Zero and X: What is it?
Me: I will create a drain!
X: How?
I spawn a torpedo gun the size of the hole and shoot it down the hole. We move back and hear an explosion with splashing water coming out. We look down the hole to find my attempt successful.
Me: I made a hole!
Zero and X: Why did you do that!
Me: Humans can't breathe very easily underwater!
X: You didn't have to make so much noise while doing that!
Me: Did you seriously expect me to swim underwater risking my life to make the drain knowing that there are mavericks in the water too!
Zero: He does have a point. Let it go, X.
X: I guess.
Me: Can we continue now? I'm pretty sure Sigma knows where we are anyway, and we still have a little ways to go.
Zero and X: Right!
We jump down the hole and continue through the newly drained area, which looks like the above water rooms but with water stained walls and pipes. A lot of fish mavericks were on the ground lifeless because of the drain I made. They aren't much of a threat, so we continue to the door, through another empty room that looks the previous room, and to the next area. They were several platforms that we had to jump on to lead to a hallway full of laser shooting mavericks, rotating shooting turret, and mini helicopter mavericks. I spawn laser shields with both gloves while Zero slices the turrets and X shoots the flying mavericks. I block all of the lasers while X and Zero destroy all of the mavericks. We reach the door without receiving damage and go into the room. The room was empty except for the conveyor belt moving toward the open door at the other end of the room and furnaces like in the factory. We go through that door into a hall way that leads to another door. I motion for everyone to stop.
Me: This is the door leading to a tank that splits apart. To damage it, attack the top part. It looks like a half skull. This is a very powerful enemy, so don't take it lightly.
Zero: Just remember to not use too much energy for our battle with Sigma.
X and I: Right!
We walk through the door and we see the tank sitting there. The maverick tank turns on and projects an image in front of it using its green eyes. It was an image of Sigma!
X, Zero, and I: Sigma!
Sigma: Glad to see my mavericks haven't destroyed you, but I have been taking it easy on you.
Me: Is that to study my abilities?
Sigma: That is very perspective of you. I have been collecting data for a while now.
Me: Is that to take over this world and mine by using the cells in me to transplant them to other humans and use those cells to take over the bodies and minds of those humans?
Sigma: It seems you have my plan figured out to a point.
X: What!
Sigma: I will tell you more once you reach me. It seems that I have a guest that you may know, Fech.
Me: What do you mean by that!
Sigma: This girl here!
The monitor flickers for a second and focuses on a girl. She looks like she has been hurt very badly from either an attack or testing that Sigma has done. She is a little shorter than me with brown hair that is neck length and brown eyes. The outfit looks like what they give you at hospitals. I stand there stunned and couldn't bring the words up to respond to her. This girl is very special to me because it was my sister.
Me: Shinoa!
Shinoa: Fech! Help me! I don't know understand what's fully going on, but I do know Sigma is very powerful and has a very powerful ally.
The monitor flickers again and it focuses on Sigma.
Sigma: That was a wonderful reunion!
Now my feelings turn to rage.
Me: You snake! What have you done with Shinoa!
Sigma: I have done nothing, but if you join me now, I promise that no harm will come to her.
Me: I will make you pay for this!
I hold out my hands and shoot a huge laser blast that annihilates the maverick tank. Some consumes the room. I breathe in and out from using that last attack. It also surprises me because a technique like was never used in the game. Could that have been my own dormant power? The smoke cleared and we see the blast also destroyed the wall which leads to a secret room with a transporter inside. The transporter looks like a capsule that Dr. Light left, but red instead of blue.
X: Remind me not to make you angry!
Zero: Now we have more trouble than ever now!
X: Why do you say that?
Me: I just stumbled on a secret room with a secret transporter that I didn't know about. Why would I think we're in trouble?
X: I see your point.
Zero: What do we do, Fech?
Me: We can't just stand here. That transporter is the only thing forward right now since this room is basically a dead end. Hopefully, this should take us to Sigma. I say we use it! Are you guys with me?
X and Zero: Yes.
Me: Then let's go!
X then Zero and then I jump into the transporter. It felt like transporting from mission to mission like always. I materialize in a huge empty room with a door on the far side of it. There are several problems here. One is X and Zero aren't with me. The other problem is there is a mysterious figure in a brown robe that covers his whole body standing in the center of the room. I guess I have to beat him to continue, but I have no clue what I'm about to face.
Me: Who are you?
He gives me no response.
Me: Answer me!
?: Only if you beat me.
He runs around the room. He reveals his duel-wielding pistols at me and starts shooting me. I spawn a sword using the left glove and slice the bullets away. I quickly run behind and slash at him. The brown robe was cut in half. It looks like I made contact, but I see the robe falling to the ground without a person wearing it. Surprised, I turn around and he phases just in front of me and shoots me in the stomach. It was so fast that I didn't even see what he looked like. Surprisingly, the shots didn't hurt me, but stung instead. We jump to opposite sides of the room and look at each other. Somehow, he had his robe back on. I feel some sort of pressure from inside my body growing.
Me: What did you just do to me?
?: Those were my special poison tipped bullets. You will die here soon.
Me: Is that so?
I charge Sting Chameleon's power and a green aura surrounds me. Once the charge was complete, I release the energy. The energy removed the poison from my body and healed me from the little damage that was done to me.
Me: Don't take me lightly!
?: I have never had someone survive this attack. Maybe this will be fun after all.
We charge at each other. I create a wide sword and he pulls a blue sword that looks like a light saber out of his sheathe on his right hip. We got close enough to swing both swords to make contact. He jumps back and swings his sword at my legs. To my amazement, the sword detached itself to make it look like a whip, but it still has characteristics like a sword. He wraps his sword around my legs and squeezed the sword as tight as he could. This catches me off guard and I fall to the ground on my knees. He swings his sword back and turns the whip into a sword.
?: This has been fun, but it's time to finish you off. I thought you were as powerful as Sigma's ally said.
Me: Who's Sigma's ally?
?: I don't know.
Me: You're just wasting my time if that's all you can tell me.
?: Fine, I overheard a conversation between Sigma and the ally. The ally thinks that you will be a threat to him and his plans.
Me: Anything else I should know?
?: The ally is supplying Sigma with the power he needs to fulfill his plans. Now, since you know the details, you will have to die!
I raise my hands into the air above my head.
Me: I'm far from finish. Sword, Wide Sword, and Long Sword! Program Advance, Life Sword!
I make a sword using the left glove, a wide sword using the right glove, and when I wanted to make a long sword, all of the energy from both swords and the long sword fused together to make a huge sword called Life Sword. I use all of the force that I could muster and swing towards the mysterious person. With that swing, I fell to the ground and look toward the result of the attack. I saw nothing.
?: You almost got me!
I look to my left only to find his cloak was damaged on the right side, but it only revealed black armor.
?: Time to finish you off!
He shot something at me that didn't damage me at all and didn't sting either, but I did see something materialize on his hands. They are black with blue circuit-like lines just like my gloves. He copied my gloves that I have on now!
?: Isn't it ironic to be destroyed by your own weapon?
I sat up. It seems my time is up. I couldn't get my answers, find my way home, or save my sister. I close my eyes and reflect on my life and all of the friends that I've made.
This can't be it!
I open my eyes and begin to rise using the last of my strength. I also see a white aura appear around me. I didn't care at the moment. The only thing I did care about was finishing off this person, killing Sigma, and rescuing Shinoa.
Me: This is not how I am going to die!
?: We'll see about that!
A pure white colored plasma sword around my whole right arm and extended the length of a real sword past my hand. He uses the gloved to spawn a sword, but as soon as the sword materializes, the gloves short-circuited causing him to become paralyzed. I took the opening and stabbed him through the center of his chest. I pull the sword from his chest and back away. The mysterious person stumbles backwards.
Me: I guess I truly am the only person that can use these gloves.
?: I guess I was overconfident. Be warned that Sigma's defeat won't be the end of the horrors for you and Shinoa.
The mysterious figure disappears almost instantly in a reddish-like light. A door opened at the opposite side of the room from where I was transported into. I run towards it.
Me: This better take me to Sigma. Shinoa, I'll be there soon to rescue you. X, Zero, you better survive against Sigma until I get there!
Me: Voice, who is the mysterious guy?
Voice: I'm not telling!
Me: At least answer if I'll see him later!
Voice: Maybe...Maybe not...
Me: By the end of this, I'm going to make sure you can't have children!
Voice: Okay...next episode, The Confrontation!
Me: Sounds like it'll be jam-packed with action.
Voice: It sure will!
